Chapter 41: Kidnapping (1)
The space we went into with the wall torn off was not vast.
Eumeria, who followed, asked carefully.
"Aren't you out here too?"
"no."
"Then where are you?"
"I don't know either."
"to?"
Glass variety flasks and beakers covered in dust on an iron tabletop.
And next to it was a flask the size of a human body with branches, which had a very peculiar internal structure.
It was an extraction flask made for extracting something. Under the long branch, a mysteriously shining silver round marble was placed on a glass bowl.
"beautiful."
When Eumeria crouched down and tried to touch the marble, Junwoo stopped it urgently.
"Do not touch!"
"to? Yeah… … ."
It was the first time Junwoo had shouted, so Eumeria took a step back with a bewildered face.
If Junwoo's prediction is correct, that marble was a huge thing.
Eumeria carefully stepped back and observed the marble with her eyes only.
Junwoo could vaguely know the beads by looking at the numerous beakers, flasks, and massive extraction vessels.
It was one of the substances the alchemists studied.
The elixir, or the wise man's stone, that the alchemists were trying to find through chemical reaction and fusion would be that marble.
This was the study of the Philosopher's Stone, which was intended to strengthen the body, transform metals into other substances, raise the rank of a profession, or change all phenomena for the better.
The alchemist knowledge that Junwoo gained was related to the production of mechanical golems, so the chemical part was a bit lacking.
But, knowing the greatness of the elixir, a chemical item made by extraction and fusion, my heart pounded.
Of course, it could have been a poor item, but the shining silver beads were so mysterious that they made people look forward to them at first glance.
Junwoo carefully grabbed the marble.
[Unstable Sage's Stone]
-Rank: Legendary+
-Classification: Consumable
-Description: A masterpiece of alchemy created over many years by the great inventor and chemist Esopia.
-Effect: When eaten, a beneficial effect occurs.
-Producer: Esopia
– Item value: 48,000,000,000,000
It was a fantastic item of Legend+ grade.
The price was 48 trillion won, an unmeasurable level.
Junwoo looked at the marble with trembling eyes.
It was an unkind effect that a beneficial effect would occur, but Junwoo would eat it no matter what the price was.
Junwoo needed a more beneficial effect now.
Junwoo put it in his mouth as if it was raw.
It was like jelly with a slippery feel.
I didn't even chew it, and it started to melt in my mouth.
As all the foreign substances in my mouth melted, my heart pounded.
My heart started pumping like crazy.
Junwoo's face frowned as he felt a strange pain in his stomach.
Junwoo fell to the floor.
The pain spread from the abdomen to the whole body.
"Ouch… … ."
"It's okay. Are you okay? Sir?"
Tendons all over the body sprouted, and a silvery color was peeking out from the sprouted tendons.
Junwoo caught his mind in excruciating pain and waited for the effect message from the system to appear.
As cold sweat dripped and the pain spread from his fingers to his toes, a light that covered Junwoo's entire body radiated for an instant.
And the pain disappeared in an instant.
[The Unstable Philosopher's Stone increases mana regeneration by 30 seconds.]
Based on 100 intellect, mana recovery per second was 2 per second.
Although it is a considerable effect, mana recovery was not a helpful ability right away for Junwoo, who does not have many skills and shoots intelligence.
"ah… … ."
Junwoo, lying on his back, let out a shallow sigh.
"Chief, are you okay?"
Anyway, it had a beneficial effect.
"it's okay… … ."
Junwoo looked around the table and the surroundings to see if anything else was there.
It seemed that the only thing they deserved was an unusually shaped extractor.
I put a vast extractor in the item window and created a bomb inside.
"Let's go."
"Yeah."
Pop!
"I have something for you to do, Eumeria."
Eumeria looked at Junwoo with bright eyes.
"What is it?"
Junwoo approached the shelf on which the crafted items were placed and lifted the adamantium mace blunt.
"With this, break the wall. There may be other spaces."
"Yeah! I will look for it."
"Please."
"Yeah!"
Eumeria had something she could do to help Junwoo other than Dalian, so she happily grabbed a mace and ran to the wall, swinging her blunt weapon.
Bang!
A blunt force was lodged in the gray wall, but only a speck of dust flowed out.
Still, Eumeria swung her blunt weapon nonstop.
The space found was also a wall that did not respond at first.
Perhaps a collapsing phenomenon is due to the accumulation of damage. Eumeria believed so and knocked on the wall.
I fell asleep and pounded.
The magic stone's energy was quickly consumed.
About a week passed, and Eumeria put down her fourth blunt weapon.
"Sir… … ."
"yes?"
"Probably… I don't think there is any other space. Can I stop?"
He was mentally exhausted because there was no result for a week.
Even so, Junwoo was about to dry up soon.
"Huh… great job."
"ha… … ."
Eumeria sat helplessly on the floor.
"Can I get some sleep?"
"Sure, get some sleep."
"Yeah… … ."
Junwoo glanced at Eumeria lying on the floor and trying to sleep on the floor and then glanced over the wall.
Just in case, I tried tapping up and down, blowing up, and doing everything I could.
But there was no other space.
‘It's not going to happen if you do this.'
Junwoo made such a conclusion and assembled the parts.
* * *
In front of the Daehan Guild headquarters in Korea.
Lee Junwoo's employee Jeong Hye-Yeon was standing with a picket.
[Korean Rescue producer Lee Junwoo from criminals.]
[Please expel the Dark Star stationed in Korea to kidnap Lewis.]
Jeong Hye-Yeon moved places and held a one-man protest for over a month, but nothing changed.
Lee Junwoo is already dead, and the gathered criminals, including Dark Star, did not cause an incident in Korea to a strange extent.
The masters of the 5th guild simply waited patiently for the Dark Star to leave Korea.
* * *
Oryong looked down at the table as if angry.
Bang!
Then the stone tabletop fell to pieces.
"100 days, 100 days! How long are you planning to wait?"
It was the 100th day since they were stationed at Mt. Gwanggyo.
They were also frustrated after stopping what they were doing and staying at Mt. Gwanggyo for 100 days.
Takane said calmly.
"If you have work, go. Gradually, he too will run out of food."
"Food, food! I'm tired of talking about it. What if we had several years' worth of food in stock?"
"Crop items will expire within one year if not used."
"How do you know you went in carrying a bag of rice?"
Takane, who answered calmly, bit his lips.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Set a date for how long you will wait."
"Didn't you vote to stay until it comes out?"
"I thought it would be two months. Am I the only one who is dissatisfied with this situation?"
Bragen, a clunky-looking Vietnamese man, opened his mouth.
"There are no major complaints. Korea is quieter than you think. However, I get a little frustrated here."
Said Zhao Ming, a Chinese woman.
"It sounds boring."
Yuma nodded her head.
Wulong looked at Liu Wei.
"Liu Wei, are you?"
"I will follow the majority vote."
Takane, who looked at Liu Wei, opened his mouth.
"It is decided by voting. Will you stay here for another 30 days, or will you leave now?"
The dragon obeyed Takane's will.
"Yes, vote."
Without Master Linqiao, they reran a vote.
* * *
In 103 days, 40 days from now, Junwoo will not be here.
Because there was no food.
They should have stocked up on food that would not spoil and water, but if it was a mistake, it would be a mistake to prepare only 150 days' worth of food at most.
Junwoo went out one more time to look around but looked at the remaining times.
The number 3 was written on it.
Since it was a small number, it was necessary to use it efficiently.
Junwoo looked at Eumeria, who was painting.
To go out, just use the portal over there and go out with Eumeria.
If Eumeria comes in, how did she got in?
Wouldn't it be possible to grab someone and come in like a change of location?
The feeling when moving with a button was the same as changing the position.
If he wanted to change the location, he could move both yourself and the desired object attached to it simultaneously.
Could it be the button too? I felt like
If possible, they could reduce their power a little.
Junwoo hurriedly made an iron plate with adamantium.
I needed an iron plate to cover the door exiting from here.
Junwoo, who made something like a bookshelf, covered the portal.
To look unnatural, the existing bookshelf or workbench was moved to the portal.
The portal was filled, and it looked pretty reasonable, but the mana being sucked out was felt subtly.
In fact, smoke and dust from this place were sucked into the portal.
People who feel good at mana and are quick-witted could have noticed that the exit was here at once.
"Eumeria, when I leave, immediately block this place with a bookshelf."
"Yeah! Leave it to me."
"Then, with the prepared iron plate, the class leader and the function are placed here, here, here, here, and here in four places so that the bookshelf does not fall, and roughly weld it."
"All right."
This was to prevent the bookshelf from falling over during battle.
Eumeria swallowed her saliva with a nervous face.
"I will bring the enemy. Close the bookshelf, then put it over there."
"Yes, I will."
Junwoo looked at the portal and turned his head to Eumeria.
"And if… If I don't come back, get everyone out of here in 150 hours."
"Yeah? Yeah… Okay."
Junwoo could not understand the situation outside.
If Dark Star had returned to China, Junwoo had no intention of returning to the warehouse.
Even if Junwoo could not return, they would have left Gwanggyo Mountain in 150 hours.
"And if I go to Hye-Yeon Jeong in the Louise office and tell her my story, I'll tell you something."
"Why are you saying that… … ."
Eumeria's pupils shook at the words of farewell.
"It's nothing, so focus. I will bring the enemy."
"Yeah… … ."
Junwoo took a shallow breath and stood in front of the portal.
Junwoo went out and thought about what he was going to do.
As soon as you goes outside, bring someone with you.
That one person must be at a level that he and Eumeria can fight together.
Junwoo walked into the portal leading out.
A space would be created in the place he entered in about two seconds.
Twice I went out early in the morning, and once it was Junwoo who decided to go out in the early evening.
The best situation was when they left Mt. Gwanggyo, but Junwoo's wish did not come true.
"It has appeared!"
Junwoo hurriedly looked around.
‘who… … .'
As the building was smashed, a giant Yuma came out.
"ghost!"
It was difficult for Junwoo and Eumeria to deal with Yuma.
Junwoo felt that Yuma's grade was Unique+ and would be level 120, the highest level.
Junwoo dashed.
Because he didn't come to battle, Junwoo didn't show his skills.
"Stand there!"
The distance with Yuma narrowed.
Junwoo sensed the mana of all directions, and as soon as he found sufficient power, he moved to the location.
"It disappeared again… … ?"
Junwoo placed his hand on the shoulder of a man in his twenties in a sheet metal suit.
The moment Yuma felt puzzled, Junwoo and the man disappeared from there.
