Episode 91
Yeah!
Yeongsu immediately opened his inventory and took out the holy sword.
One of the functions of the Holy Sword is the ‘portal’.
The biggest downside to this feature was its two-hour cooldown.
This is because after using the portal once, the calculation circuit inside the Holy Sword would overheat and had to cool down for a long time.
Fortunately, Youngsoo slept for nearly two hours because of the sudden treatment here.
Because of this, the current portal’s cooldown was neatly filled.
“Thank you!”
Yeongsu drew the air with his holy sword.
Then, space tore open and a portal leading to the front gate of the Wild Shopping Mall opened.
Torvan’s eyes lit up with confusion when he saw that.
It was the first time that he had shown any signs of agitation on his face, which had always been relaxed and blunt.
After Youngsoo disappeared beyond the portal.
Thorvan asked his son Toby.
“…Is that the Holy Sword?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“Didn’t you come when the dragon Zentamino died?”
“When? Oh, on the day the Great Temple fell?”
“yes.”
“I couldn’t go because I was picking herbs, kid.”
“But… he said it earlier. He said he was the successor to the Holy Sword.”
“I thought it was just a dog whistle.”
“… … .”
Anyway, Yeongsu returned to the wild shopping district.
Yeongsu called Gapseok, who was out in the front yard getting some fresh air.
“Oh, it’s nice to meet you. Let’s go somewhere together.”
“Yes? Where?”
“Collect herbs.”
* * *
Gapseok asked.
“Are you saying that if you just have that herb, you can cure the poison of the evil spirit?”
“huh.”
The place they arrived was a small mountain.
About halfway up the mountain, the slope ended and a wide, flat area opened up.
“This is it… … .”
“Yes, it’s the native habitat of the Pasacho.”
“But they say that even there, it doesn’t grow because it’s not iron, so how can it grow here?”
“The climate there is different from here. And from what I remember, there’s always been a lot of pine needles here.”
Yeongsu handed Gapseok the picture of the pasach that Torban had drawn for him.
“So, if you find any weeds that look exactly like this around here, pull them all out.”
“yes.”
The two split up and started looking for Pasacho.
however…….
“…Is this the right place?”
“That’s right. No, it has to be right. I’ve been here several times in the game… … .”
But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find any Pasacho here.
And after a while, the question was answered.
Thanks to the voice suddenly heard from behind.
“Hey! What are you guys doing over there?!”
A sharp, pointed cry.
Youngsoo and Gapseok looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Youngsoo said.
“What is it?”
“What the heck? What are you doing here on someone else’s property? Huh?”
The opponent was a man who looked to be in his early 30s.
He had a sword on his waist.
Youngsoo asked him.
“This is your private property?”
“This is Medicus’ private property! Do you have any idea where you guys are now?”
Medicus.
The moment those words came out, Gapseok’s face hardened into a grim expression.
On the other hand, all that was visible on Youngsoo’s face was a slight sigh.
Then, Yeongsu suddenly received a picture of a scorpion from Gapseok.
Then he spread out the picture and asked the man.
“… Then you guys must have been the ones who tore up all these weeds.”
“Oh, that? I just harvested it a while ago.”
“That poisonous plant?”
“Poison and medicine are just different in quantity. Anyway, it seems like you need that grass… … .”
The man continued speaking with a faint laugh.
“Okay, fine. If you’re willing to bow your head and pay the magic stone, I’ll arrange the deal.”
At those words, Gap-seok bit his lower lip tightly.
A situation where a pasacho is absolutely necessary to save the wild people.
But in order to save Pasacho, I had to bow down to those guys.
Towards those worst enemies who caused the death of his own mother.
‘… What should I do?’
Is it right to bow one’s head and put aside personal feelings for the sake of public interest?
Yes, that is the right thing to do as a leader.
But what about my heart?
What about my mother who died unjustly?
What the hell am I… … .
“No, we don’t need to. We’re going.”
Yeongsu immediately rejected the man’s offer and turned his back.
Gap-seok was left dumbfounded by those words.
“I… Master?”
“Let’s go, Gapseok. There is another way.”
“… … !”
Yeongsu spoke to the man this time.
“But before you go, let me ask you one thing. With what confidence do you claim that all the herbs and medicinal materials in this land are yours?”
“Because everything in the world belongs to those who can use it most usefully.”
At those words, a bitter smile appeared on Youngsu’s lips.
“… Can you take responsibility for those words?”
“what?”
“Go.”
Leaving the man with a dumbfounded expression behind, Youngsoo and Gapseok went down the mountain.
On the way, Gapseok asked.
“What on earth is this method?”
“Have you heard of Yakcheon?”
“no.”
“The water that flows underground sometimes flows past the roots of medicinal herbs. The ingredients of the medicinal herbs are infused into the water stream. That’s called medicinal spring. Water that has been infused with medicinal ingredients.”
“Then the water that has the ingredients of the parsley in it… …!”
“It will be there. Follow me.”
Yeongsu approached a rock in the bushes at the foot of the mountain.
As I got closer, I could see a gap under a rock that was hidden by the bushes.
“Here… … ?”
“It’s a shortcut to the ruins.”
Gap-seok followed Yeong-su and went under the rock.
and-
‘There was an entrance to the ruins in a place like that… …?’
The Medicus man who had been following the two was watching this from afar.
‘It’s a medicinal spring… Maybe I can use this to raise my status in Medicus… …?’
A little while after Youngsoo and Gapseok entered.
The man also followed the path leading to the ruins.
* * *
“and…….”
Gapseok couldn’t close his mouth.
A space filled with bizarrely shaped rocks shining blue like water spread out before my eyes.
Each rock was emitting a soft light, so the entire ruins were brightly lit even without any special light source.
At that moment, Gap-seok was momentarily distracted by that beauty.
“Stop staring blankly and come this way. The spring is this way.”
Sure enough, after going down a bit along the rocks, a valley appeared.
But Youngsoo didn’t get the water right away.
After going down a little further, Youngsu finally stopped.
Swamp.
A deep pool of water formed beneath falling water.
Youngsoo stopped in front of him and said.
“I’m back.”
“Where?”
with a plop!
Youngsoo quickly jumped into the cow.
Deep in water.
The water at the bottom was a different color from the surface.
A dark, thick, viscous liquid.
The medicinal ingredients mixed in the herbal medicine had settled and clumped together.
Youngsoo put the black liquid into a container he had prepared in advance.
After filling it up to the capacity.
Youngsu came up to the surface of the water again.
“Phuha!”
“What, what did you do?!”
“I brought the medicinal ingredients that had pooled at the bottom of the spring. The medicinal ingredients are heavier than water, so they sink to the bottom.”
“aha……!”
Meanwhile, the Medicus man who had followed behind was overhearing this entire conversation from a high rock and secretly cheering.
‘This is awesome… …!’
It’s a medicinal spring.
By simply reporting the location of these relics to his superiors, he could clearly establish his presence within the organization.
‘Okay, let’s get out of here!’
The man quickly escaped through a side road before being caught by Youngsoo and Gapseok.
After he left, Youngsoo and Gapseok also left the same way they came in.
“Whew, it’s not easy to get out. The height is ambiguous.”
“Don’t worry. You won’t need to use this road anymore.”
“why?”
Yeongsu silently placed his palm on the ground.
And then he poured in mana of a certain wavelength.
I’m talking about mana that resonates with the detonator of the wall bomb.
Quagwagwa!
The side road we had just exited collapsed with a loud noise.
So perfect that it can never be used again.
Gap-seok flew over and asked.
“what are you doing?!”
“I planted explosives here and there along the side road as I was leaving.”
“That’s not what I’m curious about! Why did you go through all the trouble to find this path… .”
at that time.
‘Gapseok-ah.’
Yeongsu closed his mouth and began to speak in a low voice.
‘Why did I speak out loud instead of audibly about important information related to medicinal springs?’
‘… … ?’
‘That kid from Medicus was following us the whole time.’
‘… … !’
Gapseok only now realized that he was being followed.
And when I heard that, I thought I knew Youngsu’s intentions for blowing up the shortcut with a bomb.
Gapseok spoke softly.
“Then the reason I blew up this entrance was to prevent them from entering these ruins… … .”
Youngsoo shook his head.
‘No, there is another entrance to this ruin.’
‘… …?!’
‘There is a larger real entrance to this ruin. Medicus, who sees this side road blown away, will most likely find that entrance. He will want to get his hands on the medicinal spring.’
‘… … !’
‘I explained about the medicinal spring with my voice instead of a telegram, so that he would hear it on purpose. So that he would become greedy for this relic.’
Only then was Gap-seok able to understand Young-soo’s true intentions.
invitation.
Youngsoo was trying to lure Medicus’ personnel into this medicinal spring ruins.

Medicus, Headquarters.
A man came into a hospital room where several patients were lying.
A man with a sharp expression who appears to be in his early 40s.
It was the master of Medicus, Sim Chi-ho.
Sim Chi-ho approached an old man lying in a hospital bed.
“How are you feeling today?”
“It’s gotten a lot better, but still… … .”
“I came to tell you that it is okay for you to be discharged.”
“Huh? No, but my body is still… … .”
“Now, it’s just a matter of resting, so there’s no reason for you to stay in our hospital room. And your son is waiting for you at the back of the building. Let’s go.”
Chiho moved the old man into a wheelchair and pushed him outside.
The two soon left the building and headed to the back of the building.
A place with few people and a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
But the old man was so excited about meeting his son that he couldn’t read the mood.
Chiho said while pushing the wheelchair.
“Your son is in the warehouse over there.”
“storage?”
“Yes. I finished my last hunting mission today and need to return my equipment. The warehouse is currently processing the return.”
The last hunt.
The old man was delighted to hear that.
The old man’s son was risking his life working for Medicus’ hunting team to pay for the old man’s medical expenses.
But I can finally stop that hard work.
As a father, these were very welcome words.
chuck.
The two soon arrived in front of a warehouse in a remote location behind the building.
The door to the warehouse is tightly locked.
Chiho said as he unlocked the door.
“But why does it seem like today is your son’s last hunting mission?”
“… … ?”
Sudden informality.
The old man was embarrassed.
“What are you talking about now, sir?”
“Because he’s dead.”
“What?”
“Your son is dead. So this had to be your last hunt.”
The old man’s hands began to tremble.
“Wh, what are you talking about!! Where did you get the courage to say something like that… … .”
“So, as a result, we can no longer receive your medical expenses. In short, your usefulness ends here.”
Crunch.
Chiho unlocked the warehouse.
At the same time the old man heard.
A low humming sound coming from inside that warehouse.
The old man felt a chill run down his back.
‘Eight… …!’
The old man rolled the wheelchair with all his might.
But the wheelchair that Chiho had locked did not move.
The old man tried to get out after tipping over the wheelchair, but his weakened body had difficulty even standing up.
Escape is impossible.
The old man spoke while lying on the floor.
“Let me out! If you can’t pay the price, why don’t you just let me go?”
“Hmm? No, no. We’ve made a rule to give all the useless sick people to Arong.”
“what……?!”
Clank.
Chiho opened the warehouse door.
Something was seen stirring inside the dark warehouse.
“Let’s eat, Arong. A fresh patient has arrived.”
Swack!
Something black jumped out and dragged the old man into the warehouse.
“Ugh… … !”
Chiho closed the door.
There was a sound of something breaking from inside the door, and the screams dying down.
Chiho enjoyed the sound with a relaxed expression.
At that time, Chiho’s secretary approached Chiho.
“You were here. Were you feeding Arong?”
“Yeah. What’s going on?”
“A report has come in regarding a new relic.”
“ruins?”
“It is a historical site where a stream containing medicinal ingredients flows, called Yakcheon.”
“Huh… … ?”
A look of interest crossed Chiho’s face.
