Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

A nine-tailed fox? Gumiho?
“…Why is a gumiho in Jeju? Why is it sealed in Hallasan??”
“Well, it happened when my father was still in his prime, so I don’t know well… but long ago, there was a Taoist who was outstanding enough to reach the heavens, and when this Taoist discovered this gumiho, they sealed it in Hallasan on Jeju Island, which is a mountain with strong energy and the center of the island, separated from the mainland, out of caution for its strength and talent.”
“Uh… So you’re saying you don’t really know?”
“Hahaha! As I’m the 2nd generation mountain lord of Hallasan… I don’t know much about old stories from before the time when that one-eyed fellow Gung Ye claimed to be Maitreya?”
“That’s quite ambiguous…”
By the way, you said you’re a mountain god, but you’ve lived for an incredibly long time, haven’t you?
If you were alive when Gung Ye was alive… Doesn’t that mean you’ve been alive at least since the Later Three Kingdoms period? How long have you been living then?
“Hmm, anyway, I want a way to deal with that gumiho’s name, teacher. Of course, the reward for this request will be given whether this task succeeds or fails, as long as you accept the request.”
“…It’s troublesome to hand over such a dangerous request when it’s not even fortune-telling…”
I trailed off and briefly stared at Gobaekrok’s face.
It’s a mistake to think physiognomy won’t work just because the eyes aren’t clearly visible.
In other words, I’m indirectly looking into my future through Gobaekrok’s physiognomy.
It might not be as accurate as looking through a mirror or using Arin, but I can still know most things this way.
‘Hmm… Hmmm…’
And after briefly checking Baekrok’s face, I could soon make a decision.
“But alright, I’ll specially accept the request this time.”
“Ah, really! Thank you so much, teacher!”
‘It says I’ll only gain benefits if I accept… I should accept this, right?’
There probably won’t be any big danger, and if I’ll only gain benefits, shouldn’t I accept in this situation?
“Then I’ll first give you the payment for this request.”
Baekrok rummaged through his sleeve and soon placed the object he took out on the table.
The object that was revealed was… a sharp stake… like object.
What is this? It even has a string attached… A stake-shaped necklace?
“Ugh… What is this?”
“This is an object called ‘Baek-a (White Fang)’. In the past, when my father fought with an eagle owl over the position of Hallasan’s mountain lord, this was made by processing a piece of broken horn from that time! It’s a dagger made by processing the horn imbued with the power of my father, who was a powerful mountain god, with the mountain’s spiritual energy and Hallasan’s lava, and it can be called a truly amazing treasure.”
Hmm, I can sufficiently understand that it’s not an ordinary object.
“But what kind of ability does this object have? I can’t tell just by looking at it.”
I could probably know if I do a fortune-telling… but I feel like I can know without doing it, so I don’t particularly want to.
“The true value of this object lies in being a dagger, but not in wounding others, but in healing! Just by possessing it, it gives the owner the vastness and comfort of the mountain, and the freshness of spring and the beauty and sharpness of winter that come to the mountain, and if you stab with Baek-a’s blade, it can instantly heal most illnesses or wounds. It’s truly not an exaggeration to call it a precious treasure.”

“Ooh…!!”
To think stabbing with the blade actually provides healing, it’s certainly an amazing and unique object.
…But what are the effects of the mountain’s vastness and comfort, and the freshness of spring and the beauty and sharpness of winter?
As if reading my slightly questioning expression, Gobaekrok let out a sly smile and leaned his head close to me, covering his mouth with his hand and whispering softly.
“To put it simply, the earlier effects… make a person more attractive. For example, it has effects like improving virility, or fixing rough edges. Hmm, for instance, solving baldness?”
“That’s really an amazing effect…!!”
To be able to cure that which even the best potions can’t heal, which makes even elixirs give up, and which even superhumans can’t overcome unless they’re one of the top-tier superhumans called the Four Heavenly Kings of Healing… !! I really feel how amazing this object is.
On top of that, even virility enhancement? This is an object that could make countless people’s eyes spin…
“By the way, if there are people nearby who have great affection for the owner, it unconsciously makes the owner look a bit more attractive to them.”
Gobaekrok glanced around and said with a smile that seemed almost lewd.
“It really is an amazing object?!”
Anyway, I received the Baek-a that Gobaekrok handed over as payment for the request and roughly put it around my neck. It seems to adjust the string length automatically. As expected of a treasure…
“Then, once all the friends who will come to Jeju together gather, we’ll depart.”
I’m thinking of going with just Lee Su-yeon, Akame, and Black Cat this time, telling Ricone to guard the house since she happened to be out.
Well, it would be good to have someone to play with Yeobo and guard the house. Though it wouldn’t matter if there wasn’t. Is this an excuse?
Anyway, Black Cat was watching from the side, and Lee Su-yeon and Akame came running right away when I called.
Lee Su-yeon, who cares a lot for her sister, hesitated for a moment but went back up to tell Sujin she’d bring back souvenirs and then came back down since there were Cheongsung security guards and this place wasn’t particularly dangerous. How devoted~.
Even though Lee Sujin is a fairly powerful superhuman at A-rank, to Su-yeon she’s still her weak little sister.
…Tsk, seeing that I’m calling an A-rank high-level superhuman ‘fairly powerful’, it seems my standards have become weird after constantly meeting powerful people like S-ranks and mountain gods.
“Then it seems everyone’s gathered, so we can depart. Ah, but how are we going? By plane after all?”
“Hahah! Teacher, your thinking is very ordinary compared to your abilities! Ah! I guess there are things like private jets too?”
Gobaekrok, who burst into laughter as if finding it interesting, drew a small circle in the air with his finger, and space opened up, connecting to another space.
“Even though I look like this, I’m a mountain god! If we go through this, we’ll reach Jeju in no time! It’s right on Jeju when you cross over? Hahaha!”
“Wow, as expected of a mountain god, you have good abilities! By the way, are you coming with us too, old man?”

“I’ve done my part by introducing you! I’m going back to my home to sleep sprawled out!”
“Hahah! Thank you for today, senior! I’ll send you a ginseng if I pull one out later!”
“Alright! Take care.”
Chuckling and stroking his beard, Hoseo old man left the room and nimbly returned home.
“By the way, you seem quite close with the old man. Do you have a connection?”
“Ah, it’s nothing special, but senior was born about 70 years earlier than me. Mountain gods can talk and such even without particularly visiting each other, so we all have deep connections unless it’s unusual? It’s not like there’s a mountain god for every mountain.”
“Aha, I see?”
Hmm, I wonder if there’s something like a community among mountain gods? It’s interesting.
“Anyway, shall we go now then?”
“Ah, we should.”
Like that, as my companions and I passed through the hole… or rather, the portal-like thing that Gobaekrok opened, we were able to arrive in Jeju right away.
How did I know it was Jeju right away, you ask? There was a sign nearby that said 8km left to Jeju International Airport.
“Hooh… It’s really a convenient ability.”
Anyway, while I was marveling at having come straight across the sea to Jeju like that, a dissatisfied cry was heard from behind me.
“Aish! Use space movement in a place without people!”
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
“Aing! How dangerous on the street! This is why today’s superhumans… tsk tsk!”
After being scolded, I scratched my head as I quickly stepped aside. Space movement, so there are problems like this too…
“Hahah! I made a mistake. I’m sorry everyone. Anyway, welcome to Jeju, everyone!”
By the way, Jeju Island… Actually, I came once when I was young and haven’t been since, so it feels new.
And it seemed there were quite a few others like me.
“Jeju Island… It’s my first time coming like this.”
“Is it the same for you, senior? It’s the same for me too.”
“Black Cat, have you been here before?”
“Nyanya! I’ve been here a few times to steal!”
“Ah… I see.”
Did I ask unnecessarily…?
Anyway, since there are quite a few people who are here for the first time, it might be nice to do some sightseeing while we’re here.
“Shall we do some work first?”
“When it’s all done, I’ll take charge of being the guide as a local!”
“Oh, that would be great.”
Jeju Island, famous for its famous tourist spots.
It’s famous worldwide, but actually, unlike in the past, it’s now famous for reasons other than being a tourist spot.
It’s the territory of the current strongest superhuman in Korea, the safest land in Korea.
An S-rank superhuman for whom the sea is his home ground, one of the world’s 5 great sea kings.
Four Seas Dragon King Wi Jin-taek. It’s the land where he’s standing, famous enough that even I know well about him.
Ah, by the way, he’s not related by blood to Poison Demon Wei Zhiying. They just have the same surname.
But even though I say this, I wonder if I’ll have a chance to meet him. They say you might meet him walking around in Jeju if you’re lucky.
Anyway, after riding the portal once more, we arrived properly in front of the seal said to be in Hallasan.
“Here! This is the seal, teacher! Then I’ll leave it to you!”
“Yes, well… Since I’ve already received the request fee in advance, let’s give it a try.”
Hmm, anyway, since I said I’d take on the request, I should focus on the work first, right?
