Episode 127: The fruit that serves as a medium
15 fruits rolling around on the floor.
Dodak looked at the results he had created with a satisfied face.
Now just feed this to your helper.
Dodak took off his coat and piled the fruit there.
After tying the ends of the coat, a small bundle was completed.
-Huh… .
The hard work is over.
Dodak stood up, hugging the thick bundle. Cheon Do-un, who saw that, left first.
‘The fact that you left the house secretly means that you don’t want me to see you making the fruit.’
If so, let’s pretend we don’t know. Cheon Do-un returned home ahead of Dodak.
I lay in my sleeping bag and pretended to sleep for 30 minutes.
-Huh.
Dodak has returned. Dodaki crept in on tiptoe and placed the bundle on Cheon Doun’s bedside.
‘Why are you putting it by my bedside?’
Mandragora fruit is a growth promoter.
They eat the fruits they make themselves and grow through the nutrients.
I felt puzzled about putting something like that on my bedside.
‘I thought you were going to hide it somewhere and eat it slowly. Isn’t that what it is?’
What on earth is that little root thinking?
Cheon Do-un quietly searched his pockets.
The communication medicine that Joseph created was for times like these.
Dodak opened the bag and started checking the number of fruits.
I didn’t miss that moment and dropped a couple of drops of medicine on Dodak’s head.
-Huh?
As cold water drops fell, Dodak looked up.
I tilted my head at the sight of nothing, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Cheon Do-un pretended to sleep and watched Dodak’s reaction.
-Help, hehe.
『Help me. “I didn’t know your leaves were so dry.”
What on earth do you mean by leaves? For a moment, he did not understand the phrase that appeared above him.
-Huh.
『It is dry』
What is dry?
-Help, hehe.
『I feel sorry for you』
So what on earth.
Just as the doubts were growing, Dodak stirred Cheon Doun’s hair with the roots of his arm.
No matter how hard I touched it, no broad leaves came out.
‘no way… Does dry mean my hair? Do you see it as a leaf?’
The corners of Cheon Do-un’s mouth rose.
No matter how you look at it, this fruit was made because they thought they were malnourished.
After putting the fruit by Cheon Doun’s bedside, Dodaki climbed onto his stomach and lay down as usual.
After waiting for a while, I heard a loud breathing sound.
Cheon Do-un quietly got up and checked the fruit.
15 shiny yet clean fruits. I made a lot.
I laughed when I thought that this was all made to feed myself.
“Anyway, it’s special.”
Cheon Do-un took out a glass bottle from the dresser and put the fruits in it.
If there is anything left after breaking the explosion order line, return it to Dodak.
Let’s feed the wonderful Dodak. He thought with a smile.
* * *
When the sun rose, Cheon Do-un went out to the yard with the fruit.
The snow-covered yard was eerily quiet.
‘Let’s see. The siblings are going out. Nam Ki-seok went to wash the blanket. Nari Kim… ‘Did you go playing tag yesterday and not come back?’
He’s probably sleeping with chimeras somewhere in the forest right now.
Since it happened often, Cheon Do-un didn’t pay much attention to it.
“I can go now.”
Let’s give some fruit to Manager Kim. Cheondoun put Dodaki in his waist bag and broke the hearthstone.
The gate was connected to the front of the alchemist branch in the slums.
The interior work seemed to have been completed, and the branch building looked modern.
“Looking at it like this, it looks pretty good.”
There were no longer any broken windows or cracked walls. The signboard was properly erected and the lights were twinkling.
‘This isn’t just simple interior construction.’
It feels as if the buildings in Gold City were removed and moved.
It was correct to say that Manager Kim had repaired the aging building using alchemy.
“Uh, Teacher Cheon?”
Manager Kim, who came to open the store, found Cheon Do-woon and ran over.
“What are you doing so early? Oh, please come in first. “It’s cold.”
Manager Kim opened the door and went in and turned on the heater.
The lights were off in the lobby, but the lab inside was brightly lit. He made a gesture as if to indicate that there was someone there.
“Joseph is renting a lab here. “He and his student, Kim Cheol-soo, are developing a nutritional supplement made from metal roots.”
“okay? Aren’t those guys the reason I can’t use the lab? If I’m disturbed, should I tell them to go somewhere else?”
Manager Kim shook his head.
“There is another lab on the second floor, so it’s okay. Mr. Joseph is better than me when it comes to mandragora, so I learn a lot from watching him next to me.”
Director Kim’s voice contained sincerity.
“For now, I am leaving the nutritional supplements to Mr. Joseph.”
“okay? “It just so happened.”
Cheon Do-un took out a glass bottle containing fruit from his pocket.
Manager Kim was nervous when he saw the fruit inside.
I don’t know what it was, but the mana emanating from it was unusual.
“What is that?”
“Mandragora fruit. “I said it was necessary to break the explosion order formation.”
Director Kim’s thoughts stopped for a moment when he spoke lightly as if he had just picked raspberries.
As if to replace him, a crunching sound came from inside the lab.
“Master, are you okay?”
“Rain, get out of the way. I have to go out and see! Yes, Mandragora fruit… ! Nonsense. How did you get that legendary thing… !”
Soon the inner door opened and Joseph limped out.
It looked as if he had fallen on the way home and one of his slippers had come off.
“Hey, hey. Is it true that it is a Mandragora fruit? How did you get it… ! “That’s so many!”
Joseph snorted when he saw the glass bottle containing Cheondoun.
Ah, I want to study that. I would like to receive just one. Where on earth did you get that precious thing?
Under Joseph’s eager gaze, Cheon Do-woon handed the bottle to Manager Kim.
“When can I finish making the Pahoe Jumunjin?”
“Well, if that’s the case, it’s complete.”
Manager Kim answered with a puzzled expression.
“You already broke the siblings’ explosion spell before, at least temporarily. “That was the formula I derived from the completed spell.”
Originally, the spell had to be activated using the Mandragora fruit as a medium.
Since there were no fruits, a makeshift solution was made using the roots of a metal mandragora as a medium.
Manager Kim took out a large drawing from the dresser.
There were intricately drawn formulas and order lines.
“This is a completed Jumunjin that uses fruit as a medium.”
This time, I took out several glass bottles containing various materials from the display case.
“We have already prepared all the necessary materials. “As long as you get the fruit, you can cast the spell at any time.”
He said while looking at Cheon Do-un.
The person in front of you is the one who grows Mandragora in the garden.
You can also visit the Mandragora habitat in the snowy mountains.
Then, sooner or later, you will get the fruits. Because I was so confident, I was fully prepared.
I was researching other spells in case I couldn’t get the fruit, but there was no need to do that anymore.
“As long as you have the ingredients, you can cast the spell right now.”
Manager Kim’s voice, which had been dazed, gradually became more lively.
The joy of being able to help a brother and sister who are victims of chimera experiments.
The joy of being able to activate the order circle you created.
The joy of being able to work with Mandragora fruits as a researcher.
The positive emotions combined and my heart beat rapidly.
“okay? Then let’s go right now. “Pack your bags.”
“yes!”
As Manager Kim packed his bag, Joseph also came running with an excited look on his face.
“Me too… !”
“no.”
Joseph looked despairing at Cheon Do-un’s rejection.
That guy says no. Now it was almost like a dream.
“Why only me… ! “Why do you hate me so much?”
No, it’s worth hating. Know.
I know, but the NO sign came back for everything related to Mandragora, so my body was twisted with sadness.
“Try making a nutritional supplement from metal roots.”
“Already researching it!”
“I have to complete it. Show me the results. Then I might give you at least one fruit.”
“Really?”
I asked with a bright face, but Cheon Do-woon had already left the store with Manager Kim.
“Of course!” If I make a nutritional supplement, you must give me one of the fruits! “You must keep those words!”
Joseph shouted as he ran out of the store.
I shouted with all my might, but Cheon Do-un had already entered the gate.
Kim Cheol-soo, who was watching the situation from behind, had a sad look on his face.
‘Didn’t you say you haven’t received the snow mountain habitat video you mentioned before yet?’
Maybe he didn’t intend to take a picture in the first place.
For some reason, it seems like this time it will end without me receiving any fruit.
It felt like my teacher was being ripped off and eaten every time, but I had nothing to say.
If that was the punishment for my past sins, there was nothing I could do about it.
I once abandoned my conscience and freely studied what I wanted, but this time, I may be being punished by not being able to touch what I want even when it is right in front of me.
‘Master, fighting.’
I hope one day I will be forgiven.
Kim Cheol-su tried to ignore the skinny-looking teacher.
* * *
When Cheon Do-un arrived at the yard of the house, everyone in the group had gathered.
“Uh, Manager Kim! Long time no see.”
Nam Ki-seok, who had received great favor from Director Kim, approached with the greatest welcome.
The siblings who were on top of the rib dome also came down after seeing Manager Kim.
“What happened so early?”
“I’ve gathered all the ingredients to eliminate the detonation spell. I thought it would take a long time to come up with the formula, but it worked right away. “That’s why I brought you here.”
Cheon Do-un said. He spoke so calmly that the siblings immediately wondered if they had heard wrong.
While they were dazed, Manager Kim swept the snow in the yard.
I smiled as I put down the mathematical drawing I had drawn there.
“This morning, Teacher Cheon brought me Mandragora fruit. Now I can completely break the explosion spell.”
He spoke brightly, but was met with silence.
The siblings looked at Director Kim as hard as stone. The head slowly turned towards Cheondoun.
“Is it true…? ?”
“It’s true.”
Cheon Do-un’s unique, relaxed voice has returned.
Yubeom, who was dazed, let out a laugh. Yujia pursed her lips as if she still couldn’t believe it.
Soon the explosion spell engraved in my body will disappear.
The shackles that have bound them for decades are completely broken.
‘That’s today?’
So suddenly and so quickly.
Is it possible to be completely free in a moment like this?
The siblings’ expressions were complex.
I understood the situation in my head, but it didn’t feel real.
‘Is it a dream?’
Okay, maybe it was a dream. They are still sleeping soundly on the rib dome.
When they wake up from their dream, their normal daily life will be waiting for them.
“Okay, preparations are complete. “You two, please stand in front of me.”
The sudden joy that came upon me paralyzed my sense of reality.
Director Kim’s voice broke the paralysis.
“What are you doing? “Go and stand now.”
Cheon Do-un lightly pushed the siblings on the back. That touch instantly brought the dream-like sensation into reality.
“ah… .”
Curiosity about the outside world.
That has already been resolved to some extent by going outside the gate for a while.
Still, my heart was racing.
Complete freedom. The joy that word gives.
The feeling of being bound by an invisible chain will soon disappear.
The siblings standing in front of Jumunjin looked at each other.
The reason I was able to survive for decades inside the gate was because I was worried about my relatives who would be left alone.
‘It’s different now.’
The siblings looked around.
House, yard, and path. A ribbed dome made together.
Small mechanical creatures and young chimeras.
Manager Kim said he would break their spell.
Nam Ki-seok feels like a disciple now.
“What are you going to do when the spell is completely broken?”
When Cheon Do-un asked, the siblings’ eyes turned to him.
Cheon Do-un, the savior of their lives. The two grinned while looking at him.
“well. for now… Should we have a clam-roasting party?”
When we were alone inside the gate, we held on for every hour.
It was different now.
‘I’m just enjoying it now.’
A life of laughter and enjoyment every day.
This was possible thanks to a close friend I met again after a long time.
The siblings thought as they stood in front of Director Kim Yeon Seong-jin.
“Then let’s begin.”
Director Kim placed a mandragora fruit in the place that would serve as a medium for modification.
