135. A Glorious Return

Squeak.

Oh Hyeon-seong left the old shack.

After talking inside for a while, he left Nihil’s body with Noya and came out.

It is to entrust the production of relics.

Noya was in need of good ingredients at the time, and was delighted to receive the top-quality ingredients that had rolled in after a long time.

“Then come back in about two weeks. It will be finished by then at the latest.”

“I will do that.”

Oh Hyun-seong nodded at Noya’s words as he came out to see her off.

And then I took a quick look around.

“It’s not much different from last time.”

“There’s no need to change, so that’s it.”

Noya said with a faint smile.

It’s a shabby place for someone with that level of ability to live in.

Although his personality itself seemed to be detached from material desires, he had never been so confined to a remote mountain village with nothing to this extent.

Rather, in order to receive smooth support for the production of weapons, the period in which they were located within the major cities of each country was much longer.

“Isn’t everything you need inside here?”

“There’s no one here. Aren’t you lonely?”

“If I could be with people I like, of course it wouldn’t be better. But I’ve been suffering from people so much.”

He continued with a bitter smile.

“Right now, I just want a quiet and peaceful life, in an environment like this where I can focus solely on my work. It’s a shame that I can’t see the full natural scenery because of the turbid air surrounding the mountains, but there’s no place better than this.”

“… I think I know what you mean.”

Oh Hyun-seong nodded, chuckling at his words.

Although the circumstances that led to this point were different in many ways, he also came to realize that there were similar aspects to him.

After exchanging greetings with Noya, Oh Hyeon-seong went down the mountain.

Unlike when I came up, my steps were much lighter since there was no heavy monster corpse on my shoulders.

‘I left it to you, but I don’t know how it will turn out when it’s finished.’

Meanwhile, he thought about the artifact that would be completed.

I had to give a rough idea of ​​the direction I wanted to take, but it was unclear how much of that would be reflected.

As the grade of materials used increases, uncertainty increases.

As Noya puts it, the material has a ‘stubbornness’.

As it contains a stronger power, it tries to take on its own form rather than transforming according to the creator’s will.

Some of the relics from before were also completed in a different form than he had expected.

‘Actually, it doesn’t matter either way.’

The Chattergil dagger on his back was quite different from what he had expected, but it ended up being of great help in farming.

You can’t harvest all the crops by hand, but at least you can harvest high-grade crops like epics with this dagger.

‘I see it over there.’

As Oh Hyeon-seong was walking down, he saw a helicopter parked in his field of vision.

It was the National Security Agency helicopter he rode in.

“Thank you for waiting.”

“We’ve been together for ten days and this is it.”

Baek Ji-soo, standing next to the helicopter, answered concisely.

“You don’t want to come all the way here and see for yourself?”

“We’re not particularly familiar with each other.”

If it’s Noya, Baek Ji-soo is also a person that we know well.

But unlike Oh Hyeon-seong, I had never seen him in person while living in the special forces.

Also, I have never used or coveted any of the weapons he produces.

A long sword she kept tilted at an angle next to her seat.

It was the relic weapon she had been using all along, and she had never picked up another sword since obtaining it.

“What’s more important? If I show my face, won’t I just make you wary?”

Unlike Oh Hyeon-seong, who has already retired, Baek Ji-su is not only working, but also a high-ranking member of a government organization.

Moreover, the image of the name Baek Ji-soo was also problematic.

While the perception among domestic people is that they are fortunate to be on the same side, they are infamous among hunters overseas.

In fact, Baek Ji-soo was relatively lenient towards domestic hunters, but merciless towards foreign hunters.

It was so obvious to Oh Hyeon-seong, who had been working on the operation with him.

Because of this, Noya also heard all sorts of stories about Baek Ji-soo and might have a negative perception of him.

“Well… in that case, let’s go.”

Since there was nothing to see except thick fog, they tried to get on the helicopter right away.

But at that moment.

Stop.

Baek Ji-soo stood still.

“what’s the matter?”

“There’s something.”

She frowned slightly and turned her head back.

If there were any monsters that were nesting around Mt. Misty, Oh Hyeonseong had already personally eliminated them a long time ago.

At that moment, I was wondering what he was talking about.

“… What is this?”

Oh Hyun-seong also turned his head in the same direction.

I felt the movement of something that was trying to hide its presence quite plausibly, but was actually all the more annoying because of it.

*

“Isn’t this the one too?”

A man walking among the bushes muttered.

The man, who had bright eyes, a thick beard, and a look that made him look like a foreigner at first glance, walked along, scribbling something in a notebook he held in his left hand, while cleverly keeping his presence quiet.

But at that time.

“What, what is it…!”

The startled man stepped back.

A woman suddenly appeared behind me without any warning and was staring intently at the contents of the notebook I was scribbling in.

He rolled his eyes, not knowing whether he would meet anyone else in a place like this.

“Have you come to hike?”

Russian from Baek Ji-soo’s mouth.

Then the man reflexively pulled out a dagger from his bosom.

But before the blade was even half pulled out.

Bam!

A man fell to the ground after being hit in the face.

The way he rolled around without any resistance, as if he had been hit with a tranquilizer gun.

“He’s not dead, is he?”

“maybe.”

Oh Hyeon-seong appeared between the bushes and stared at the man.

The sound of a fist was unusual.

I went closer to examine it, and although something was broken, it was still alive.

Baek Ji-soo, kneeling, rummaged through the man’s belongings.

Also, I took a picture of his face with my cell phone and sent it somewhere.

Oh Hyun-seong picked up the note the man had dropped.

The important parts were written in ciphertext, but the other parts were filled with Cyrillic letters.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so I can’t remember. What was that word?”

“You don’t have to look hard. That’s all a code too.”

“At least they’re not civilians.”

A while later, Baek Ji-soo received a call.

Although it was not possible to be completely certain of his nationality based on the language he spoke, verification of his identity revealed that he was from Russia.

“He’s an agent from the Federal Intelligence Service. He’s from the Foreign Intelligence Service, and he’s on our list.”

“It can’t be a mere coincidence that such a person is wandering around a place like this, and it’s highly likely that he came after you, old man.”

“I guess so.”

Noya’s ability to create relics directly was a factor that could greatly affect the power of a nation.

The place he lived in was also a shabby shack on the outside, but the value of the artifacts piled up in the warehouse was enormous.

There is no country that can be trusted when it comes to national interests.

In the present world where gates and monsters are invading.

The power of the hunters and relics possessed by a nation soon became directly linked to the existence and survival of that nation.

‘I don’t know if they had any dealings with Russia or if the information was leaked from another country, but this is starting to become a headache.’

Just because a Russian hunter is a bad person doesn’t mean he’s necessarily a bad person.

Oh Hyeon-seong fought alongside them in China.

Russia, like Korea, was also a direct party on the Chinese front.

You too, were putting forth all your efforts to achieve this.

I have a positive perception of them because they fought together until the end more than any other country, even though they were separated on the front lines.

Because we were on the same side back then.

But at least when it came to government agencies like the Federal Intelligence Service, they were pretty bad guys.

They don’t care about the means.

It’s not just heartless, it’s so vile that it feels dirty.

“It looks like the location hasn’t been completely discovered. But…”

If you’re going all the way to Mt. Fog, then you’re being quite serious.

I’m saying this because we’ve already looked into a lot of places that are even more suspicious.

“At least I think I figured out that it was in Korea. I just couldn’t pinpoint the exact location.”

Fortunately, Noya managed to hide his hiding place thanks to the effects of the relic.

That’s why the pursuer came all the way here, but we were wandering around without even noticing his presence.

However, Baek Ji-soo recommended moving for safety reasons.

“Where are you moving to?”

“The most certain way would be to officially contact the government and receive protection. We have a safe house in Seoul that we manage. If we want to be even more certain, we could have them stay in the facility.”

“…”

Oh Hyeon-seong was lost in thought for a moment.

If you think about it objectively, it’s a valid argument, but there was something that had been bothering me from the beginning.

“Is there any other way?”

The conversation I had with Noya just now.

Oh Hyeon-seong, who came to live as a resident of Changyeong-ri, understood well what he wanted.

That’s why I didn’t want to break his peace even more.

I don’t want to get entangled with government agencies again and get pushed back into the cycle that has left me so disillusioned.

“… I know what you’re saying. Let’s check the situation from our side first.”

“thanks.”

Baek Ji-soo, who was listening to Oh Hyeon-seong’s story, accepted his opinion.

This was not a decision made purely out of goodwill.

Noya has already escaped from other countries several times.

If we tried to arrest him carelessly, there was a high chance that he would run away somewhere, and from the government’s perspective, it would be difficult to completely lose his existence to another country.

Even if it is difficult to elicit any cooperation right away, it is much better to at least stay in the country.

“Then you go first. I’ll finish tidying up here and go.”

She got up, dusting herself off her knees, looked at him and said.

“Senior, you have a place you need to go back to, right?”

*

Under the bright sunlight.

Eunha Yoo, wearing a straw hat, raised both arms.

“Okay, that’s it for today!”

Boom boom!

The spirits around her also jumped up and down in excitement at her powerful shout.

She giggled at the sight of the little lower spirits delighting her and led them across the field.

In the middle of a golden wheat field, Yoo Seung-su was with the spirits.

“Is it here yet~?”

“No, it’s all over here too.”

The Yu siblings who helped out with the farm work in Oh Hyeon-seong’s field.

Although the field was very large, there was no need to manage it all, and it was not difficult because you only had to harvest an appropriate amount.

Above all, the spirits helped me every time, so it ended quickly.

Despite their small size, these guys are very skilled at their work.

“Come on, let’s eat quickly!”

Boom boom!

The siblings sat in a pavilion in a small open space among the surrounding fields and began sharing the steamed corn they had brought with them.

“Hmm~”

A taste that brings deep emotion with every bite.

Snacks eaten after work were always different, but that wasn’t the reason.

It was a special corn that could only be eaten here.

“This is a problem. Eating this stuff is making our crops taste bad.”

“We have to work harder to develop our natural crops so that they can taste like this.”

“Well, I don’t think it will be easy.”

Eunha Yoo’s gaze slightly turned to the side.

Then, the spirits were seen sitting together, each picking up a kernel of corn and eating it with relish.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of those guys working so hard to get their mouths wet.

“Heh heh, so cute.”

In a world where it’s nearly impossible to keep a pet these days, Eunha Yoo’s heart melted as she looked at the spirits.

When I first came down to farm, I was sad that there were no country dogs, but this more than made up for it.

It feels like just looking at it is healing.

“By the way, oppa hasn’t come yet. He said it wouldn’t take long.”

“I know.”

It’s already been more than ten days since he left.

We were told it would be later than originally scheduled, but even taking that into account, it ended up being quite long.

Recently, I found out about his unusual past, so I became even more curious about where he was and what he was doing.

Doo doo doo doo!

“ok…?”

But then a large shadow fell over their heads.

They stared blankly at the sky, their mouths wide open.

“What… what is that?”
