Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 46
Only Noblemtl
Episode 46
The day the foreign trader came was no different from any other day.
Sehyuk woke up early as usual and started practicing.
After completing simple body movements, Sehyuk sat cross-legged on the floor to meditate.
‘Something, the movement has changed.’
The movements of swinging the sword, the techniques, the natural flow of magical power.
All of those things make me feel better overall.
Check the magical power of the silver mine inside your body.
After fighting the colony’s disaster and deserting engineers, his magical power has greatly increased.
‘I might be able to surround my entire body with magic soon.’
It’s developing day by day.
It’s a good sign.
After completing the inspection, we enter the mansion.
“Oh! I guess you’re finished.”
As Sehyuk enters the house, a large number of people slowly enter Sehyuk’s house.
Go Jeong-hwan, Cha Ye-seong, Choi Seong-hyeon, and even Little Yong were waiting for him outside.
The people who had rushed in immediately fell down on the sofa.
Sehyuk laughed in vain at the sight.
Go Jeong-hwan is an old man.
Choi Sung-hyun may have a body in his 20s, but his heart is that of an old man.
I knew that Cha Ye-seong liked to lie down on the sofa like an old man.
But now, I have seen even small dragons hanging down like a dragon.
‘Did I just gather old men?’
“You just saw us and had a bad thought!”
Cha Ye-seong looks at Se-hyeok with only his upper body slightly raised.
Even his appearance had a strange old man-like quality.
While I was thinking about that, Go Jeong-hwan got up from his seat.
“Sigh. Sehyuk. I have something to say.”
He looked slightly worried.
“The light isn’t on.”
After saying that, Go Jeong-hwan clicked the power button.
A fire that doesn’t come on.
Come to think of it, they were lying down without even turning on the lights.
It’s not dark because of the sunlight coming in from outside.
“Since when has it not turned on?”
“Last night was fine, but this morning I noticed that the lights in our room weren’t on either.”
The power went out.
‘This is serious.’
Sehyuk hurriedly checked the refrigerator first.
It was a time when we needed to start replenishing our food supply.
‘If it gets damaged and you can’t eat it, it’s a big problem.’
Upon checking, the refrigerator was also turned off.
‘Thank goodness there aren’t many foods that would be damaged if the refrigerator was turned off for a while.’
Opened fruit jam or paste.
It’s about the same as the rice I ate yesterday.
It was fortunate that the weather was starting to get cooler.
‘Aside from that, it’s quite annoying that the facilities have been destroyed.’
The water doesn’t come out anymore.
While I was doing that, Choi Sung-hyun came out of the engine room.
“It looks like the facilities were damaged by the typhoon. There is no problem with our system.”
‘What is the situation?’
Se-hyeok asked Choi Seong-hyeon about the situation with a serious expression.
“What about the generator you brought a few days ago? Is it broken?”
And then, Sehyuk wanted to hit Choi Sunghyun.
“No, that hasn’t been fully installed yet.”
“What? Then please install it quickly.”
“I was planning to connect right after reporting it anyway.”
Choi Sung-hyun is always defending himself by saying that electric machines have to be held for quite a long time.
After quite some time, Choi Sung-hyun finished the wiring work.
“The lights will come on now!”
Choi Sung-hyun, who was holding a tool and wiping off sweat, turned on the light in the living room.
Twinkle. Twinkle. Fit.
The lights come on brightly.
Sehyuk smiled brightly at the sight.
“It’s good to have an electrician.”
“Haha. Me a little.”
Choi Sung-hyun, who had been smiling like that, suddenly looked worried again.
“What about water?”
“are you okay.”
Sehyuk took a bowl and scooped up a bowl of fresh water from the pond he had made outside.
“Are you going to use this?”
Choi Sung-hyun frowns at the stench.
Sehyuk silently brought the baby dragon that had been crawling on the floor and sat it down on the alchemy workbench.
“?”
Sehyuk spoke calmly to the little dragon who was tilting his head.
“Please purify me.”
The basics of alchemy are usually divided into two categories.
One is the series of material changes.
The other one is the potion making series.
And the basic skill in the potion making series includes making purified water.
Making the water needed to make potions.
‘Water used to make potions. Naturally, it has to be clean.’
Before the regression, this was a method I often used.
We can’t make a lot of it, so we have to use it sparingly, but we have enough drinking water to survive.
Pfft!
Baby Yong uses his small, chubby arms to focus his mind and breathe magic into the water.
With the magic of blue light, a bowl of dirty water began to gradually become transparent.
“Oh!”
Cha Ye-seong, who had been watching from afar, suddenly had sparkling eyes.
Water that has become completely transparent.
Sehyuk picked up the bowl.
Gulp! Gulp!
Sehyuk drinks the water in one gulp.
“As you can see, it is completely purified water.”
This is the greatness of alchemy and the wisdom of Sehyuk’s life.
A generator was installed, and purified water was made available.
While I was spending my daily life leisurely like that.
Woohoo!
In the living room of Sehyuk’s house, a uniquely colored dimensional gate appeared.
A green dimensional portal, not a gloomy blue or dangerous red.
At that sight, Choi Sung-hyun and Cha Ye-seong, who were gathered in the living room, were embarrassed.
“Sehyuk, what is that?”
Sehyuk couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Since the world was destroyed, major events have appeared intermittently.
event.
This was because the event occurred much faster than expected.
“There won’t be any major problems. But it would be better if you guys just didn’t say anything.”
Sehyuk knew what this phenomenon was.
‘Neutral event. Interspecies trader.’
Different races.
It’s a little different from a monster.
Because it refers to beings from another world that resemble humans, such as orcs, fairies, and mermaids, but also have elements of monsters.
‘Usually, if they’re friendly, they’re humans from another world that you can interact with, but if they’re hostile, they’re treated as monsters.’
A woman with long, straight hair, a young face, and a straw hat walks out from inside a green portal.
But the aura emanating from that body was tremendous.
Sehyuk swallowed nervously.
‘Fairy tribe. Why is it that they are a race that is not particularly friendly to humans? If communication goes awry, it can’t be reversed.’
Although not as common as monsters that can communicate, heterodox species are also rare.
That’s why Sehyuk doesn’t know much either.
The fact is that they are looking for what race they are and why they engage in merchant activities.
‘If it were as it is now, it would be a monster that wouldn’t even be able to touch a single hair. However, since there are restrictions, it’s much more doable now, but if you fight it, it will still take a lot of damage.’
And things take an unexpected turn.
I just heard it.
“You got help from ‘Grandpa’?”
These words.
Sehyuk asked the fairy.
Ask if you can help yourself.
The fairy’s answer was simple.
Because Sehyuk had said something absolutely necessary that he could never ignore.
‘The secret that the Seoul Survivors’ Coalition is hiding? What on earth are you talking about?’
Seoul Survivors’ Coalition.
The ones who sent a letter to Sehyuk before his return and set him up for a trap.
‘Until now, I thought they were just greedy plunderers trying to take what Sehyuk had.’
Sehyuk was lost in thought.
‘But, those guys have another plan.’
The intuition of the swordsman was speaking.
I feel like there’s something hidden behind it.
Their motive for killing is not just greed, but something more serious.
There was only one answer.
Listen to this fairy and find out the truth.
“When you say, ‘I have the ability to help,’ does that mean I might not be able to help?”
At those words, the fairy claps her hands softly.
“That’s right. I’m willing to help. But no matter how much my grandfather acknowledged it, I’m the type of person who can’t believe it until I see it with my own eyes. I don’t have much myself.”
The fairy smiles with a beautiful face.
In that face, there is a slight disregard and distrust for the human race.
“What do you want?”
The ‘Interethnic Merchant’ event is conducted as a ‘barter’ event, as is typical of merchants.
An event where you can purchase ‘Talent Books’ that allow you to acquire new talents, or items containing magical power.
The price is the resources we currently have, such as food.
‘At this stage, at best, they are selling items that are somewhat durable due to the magic power mixed in, but even those are incredibly useful to those who survive with their bare bodies.’
There were many reviews saying that this was an event where you could starve to death or die from lack of resources if you gave it to the wrong person because the amount of resources it required was quite large.
‘It’s a gamble of selling the present to buy the future. It’s a double-edged sword in many ways.’
It’s not classified as a ‘neutral event’ for nothing.
Because it is an event that clearly shows that the existence of a different race is absolutely not friendly.
With that in mind, Sehyuk felt slightly nervous.
‘For that level of information, I don’t know how much I should pay.’
But what came out of her mouth was a bit unexpected.
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
Sehyuk opened his eyes dimly.
The reason was simple.
‘This is a pattern that did not exist before the regression.’
Sehyuk knew a lot.
Even, I knew what hidden pattern was triggered by this heterodox merchant.
At least I could boast that I knew all the information related to the destruction that had been investigated in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas.
But it was a new pattern.
‘This too, is it because of the regression that it changed?’
That’s a good thing.
Because he needed to change the future.
It has already changed quite a bit, but has not yet had a significant impact on the ‘Source’ and the ‘Seoul Survivors’ Coalition’.
‘I have a feeling that if I solve this problem, I’ll at least learn something I didn’t know before the regression.’
Thump, thump!
Sehyuk’s heart was shaken.
“So, what’s the request?”
“It’s simple. Just research the Forest of Resentment here as much as you can. If possible, purify it and come back, but I don’t want to go that far.”
The fairy gave a brief explanation about the Forest of Vengeance, then waved her hands in the air.
A map appears.
It was a nearby map.
“The location is here.”
The fairy points her hand at a spot on the map.
And then, Sehyuk encountered something surprising again.
‘This is where the farm I was planning to go to was.’
When I was making the pond with Sunghyun Choi before, I said that it would be nice to plant some plants.
This is the farm I had been thinking about at that time.
However, the location where the farm was located has turned into a forest.
This is also a phenomenon I’m hearing about for the first time.
“You’ll know it when you get there. It won’t be the place you knew anymore.”
“I see.”
A series of unknown events.
Sehyuk eventually took out the book of the future.
‘I guess we’ll have to check what happened.’
But Sehyuk’s doubts were not resolved.
‘Is this also related to information that cannot be disclosed?’
There is only one phrase in the book: ‘processed’.
Below that, lines were drawn all over.
A fairy who seems to know about Grandfather and the ‘origin’.
The ‘Seoul Survivors’ Association’ that killed Se-hyeok is plotting this.
The hidden inside story of a changed region.
A number of questionable things are tied together in one place.
It was something that absolutely had to be done.
“I will accept that request. I will keep my promise to tell you about the Seoul Survivors’ Association.”
“Of course not. Fairies don’t lie.”
Calmly investigate the Forest of Grudge.
And then, Sehyuk unexpectedly got hit by a fairy.
“Yes, Prophet!”
A fairy with a puzzled expression.
The fairy grabbed Sehyuk’s sleeve in a hurry.
“I’ve changed my mind. Even if I fail this mission, I’m willing to help you. If you give me the prophecy.”
