Episode 16 – The blacksmith who is suspiciously good at handling corpses 2 –
It is said that the division commander can move mountains and change the course of rivers.
Even though I am smaller than a mountain, I can carry the equivalent dragon’s body.
I am a division commander.
It may seem strange, but let’s enjoy this power for a while.
‘Still, in times like this, it’s convenient because the era is modern, not medieval.’
As it is basically a fantasy world, people who don’t know anything about magic might think of knights using force.
This is modern times.
I don’t know where magic engineering or pure engineering equipment came from and lifted the entire dragon.
Although it looked very crude as it was not as advanced as the modern era, with the help of magic engineering, the technological power was at a level that could reach the tip of the modern era.
If you think about its magic characteristics, it may surpass it in some areas.
“For now, we are moving slowly, Yeongsik. The only place to store it right now is the hangar. Should we store it in the hangar?”
“Is there a hangar here?”
“If something happens in Magyeong, wouldn’t you need space to store it? So that’s where it exists.
These equipment are also used to deal with something that happens in the demonic area.”
When I was listening to that explanation.
Theseus sensed something strange and asked.
“Hey. Sleep Abraxas. Didn’t you know all that? “If you didn’t know that, you didn’t even consider it. Then what did you think you were going to do?”
Of course, I just tried to make it run away. There was a time when the division commander ordered the soldiers to build a tennis court with their bare bodies.
How do I know what the Magic Management Bureau is doing? If I have to just peel it, I’ll just peel it.
“Theseus. “There is a very simple truth in this world.”
“What is it?”
“If it doesn’t work, just give more money. “If we didn’t have that kind of equipment, the management office might have said no, but if we pay more money, we can move it.”
“So, why did a bastard who said money was right and was paid and enriched legitimately commit fraud?”
“You do that because you pay me. If something doesn’t work, just give more money? “If I get caught, I’m a f*cking pig, but I did it because it paid me more money.”
Money is always right. I don’t know who said that, but it’s absolutely true.
Therefore, it is right to cheat. Because I make a lot of money.
Some people are asking if they have lost their conscience, but if that’s the case, I hope they at least improve workers’ wages.
The only time I commit fraud is when it is not a legal problem. Since this is modern times where the law has not developed, it is called fraud, but in fact it is not even fraud.
I was born in modern times, so I am more moral in some ways because I pay a lot of money.
There was no such person on Earth until Henry Ford.
“I’ll say it again. “If you offer me an investment, you’ll be scolded.”
But Theseus could not see my morals and treated me only as a fraud.
In all people, a conscientious part and a selfish part coexist.
I felt like if I said more, it would only damage my image, so I kept my words short.
The place where I need to improve my image is within the academy. Not the Magic Management Bureau.
“Ah, Abraxas Yeongsik. “By the way, is your arm okay?”
“It grows back to about eight feet.”
“I see. “Then we will store it in the hangar for a while.”
The advantage of public officials is that they do not have any questions. I asked if it would be rude, but when I heard that it was okay, I became suspicious. Easy to deal with.
We hear the words of the guide who guided us and the door to the hangar opens.
Sometimes, one side of the monotonous rectangular warehouse seen on TV begins to lift.
Kigi Ging- A machine pushes the huge dragon’s body into the opened door while making a clanging sound.
An end-of-century scene unfolded inside the hangar, with the corpse of a dragon along with various equipment.
‘Wow. ‘There’s an early automobile, a World War I tank, and a dragon’s corpse.’
It would be a shocking sight for anyone to see, but I am not that kind of person.
It’s a world with guns, so what?
Anyway, the fantasy world is also a place where humans live, so one day it will enter the modern era.
While I was watching our fruition process, Theseus asked me carefully.
“Hey. But what happens if someone tries to steal it?”
The point was, what would happen if the people in the management bureau coveted that body?
I answered right away because I had already thought about it.
“If I could have taken it by force, I would have taken it a long time ago. It would be easier to take it from us when we are already weakened than to take it after it is known that it is ours.
But not doing so means that, at least by the standards of the time, we could not ignore the investigation that would occur when we disappeared. In the end, if you investigate, everything will come out. “I will bring you to Seonghwangcheong and conduct an investigation into the past.”
The saint of Seonghwangcheong can see things that cannot be seen like the eyes of a dragon.
There are just too many incidents in the world for a saint from Seonghwangcheong to intervene.
But the Duke of Winterfield and the Marquess of Mentutihotep. If it’s at these two levels, I’ll definitely call it.
“And how are you going to avoid getting caught carrying that big thing? Storing it is a problem and carrying it around is also a problem.
And we finally caught the dragon, right? “How would we look from those people’s perspective?”
“Ah… !”
We know the truth, but the world is not yet aware of the fact that dragons grow weaker as they age.
A weak dragon is a dragon that has not yet fully grown. It’s just a hatchling.
We couldn’t even catch the weakened dragon with our own strength, so we had to give up Jaelong in the end.
Of course, even if the dragon looks sick, it will think that we are stronger than common sense. They don’t want to have a dispute with us, so they won’t be able to mess with us.
… You may think so, but I just secretly obtained a scroll of protection magic and applied it.
I won’t mess with it, but it’s better to be sure.
“Just sleep. Are you saying you’re trying to get kicked out of the academy? But if you get the title of Dragon Slayer, isn’t that all over in the end?”
“? When will I tell that to the academy?”
“?”
He’s saying something strange again.
The record I used to cheat and the provisions I made.
When combined with my circumstances of having to leave the academy, it is normal for the natural result to come out.
It’s still a long way away.
He showed Theseus, who was still confused, the skill of a member of society.
“Of course, I came forward after I was kicked out of the academy. “Didn’t you say when you would get the Dragon Slayer title?”
Apply for field experience learning right away.
I caught the dragon during the physical body period.
I never said when I would get the Dragon Slayer title.
If you tease him, just tell him to f*ck with me. Elijah and Sylvia don’t know that I am a water master, so my threats will work better.
“I’m saying this again, don’t even suggest business to me.”
That’s a bit harsh. The business proposal would still be done properly.
No matter how urgent the money is, there is no way to defraud the next duke.
Just like that, the last night of the Moon Demonic Scenery passed by.
—-
Fortunately, the situation that Theseus feared did not occur.
He says that the family is not yet at the level of ruin, and that he will be satisfied later as long as the money from selling the body is provided.
After saying that, the two people whispered something in the corner.
In addition to hiding the fact that I was an Auror Master, it seemed like he was running some kind of delusion.
And… As I was delusional, something suddenly occurred to me.
‘The cool second son of a later writer who doesn’t want to attract people’s attention, so even though he has great power, he hides it and lives without caring about what others think.’
What the female students at the academy muttered when they saw me. It was a ridiculous delusion, but it actually made sense between the two of us.
Whatever the reason… Because it is true that I hid my power.
In a conversation with Theseus, it was revealed that he was trying to escape from the Academy.
We even suggested hiding the fact that we were the ones who finally caught the dragon.
‘If this is known, I will be ridiculed for the rest of my life.’
First of all, you have to hide it from that bastard Lucas.
If it becomes known, we can at least deal with it by giving that guy Lucas even more sh*t.
“Then, since there is still time left for field experience learning, shall we just take care of your physical condition and then go find a dismantler?”
Of course, I hid my whereabouts from my family because I didn’t want them to be revealed.
Even if my family knows that I went to Hyeonche, they don’t know what I’m doing here.
Watch, I’m an Auror Awakening user who can use energy, so a clumsy guy can’t do it at all.
Excellent guys are a waste of time for me to write.
So it is safe. Unless a saint has come.
“Yes. Let’s do that. “Abraxas English.”
“I also agree.”
And Elijah and Sylvia, who seemed to have no doubts about what I said, immediately agreed.
I had doubts about the overly obedient response.
Something is strange.
You may ask why only the others get treatment without me, but they don’t.
I had no intention of hiding it.
Theseus, who felt doubtful about that, left a whisper to me to see if things had changed.
“Hey, why are those two like that? “I think you’re trying to hold your breath until you completely secure hearts because you don’t want to be exposed to your family, but they don’t know that, right?”
“Even if you know that fact, it’s a problem. To be honest, just because I’m active doesn’t give me information about my family right away. It’s just a rumor that spreads, and once it’s exposed to members of the family, only then will a report be made.
I’m just being careful considering the possibility of bad luck, but it seems like the atmosphere has changed somehow.”
And after whispering, I looked at the two people once more.
On the outside, he pretended not to be interested, but as a result of watching him through his senses, I could tell that he was paying attention to me.
When I looked more closely, I felt like I was yearning for something in those eyes.
Ah.
That’s right. She’s 17 years old.
I am a reincarnated person, and Theseus next to me is the next duke. This is a fact that I often forget because I learned about kings.
The kids here are 16-17 years old.
Unlike adults who have been cut down through social life, they still maintain their innocence and romance.
‘If there is a Korean first-place student in the same class who is not at the level of the top student in the entire school, you will feel pride in being in the same class as the Korean top-ranked student rather than jealousy.’
It is similar to how ordinary people do not feel particularly jealous when celebrities and businessmen purchase assets worth billions of won.
Because at that point, you become an object of admiration.
Theseus, you have been watching me since you were young, and you know what nonsense I have done, so you do not have a problem with me.
From other people’s perspective, my travels are a distant story, and my state is a story that can be seen firsthand.
Among all the knights, there are many who die without ever seeing an Auror Swell, let alone an Auror Master.
That’s why this rider, who already has many cadets who can use Auror enhancements, is called the Golden Rider.
‘It’s easy for me to figure out the Auror awakening because I studied it by pointing out the setting, but there’s no way other people would know that. ‘You’ll look like a genius.’
Anyway, if you follow what I say, whether it’s because you admire me or not, that alone is a benefit.
The strong criminals can use force, but the reason they don’t use it is because they can’t control it.
If you faithfully carry out something, whether it is a request or an order, that alone will more than make up for your lack of skills.
After thinking that I had such a good relationship.
I opened my mouth to head to my next destination.
“Then let’s go to the dismantler first. “I’ll go and get some treatment.”
A few hours later, an airship arrived at Wol’s Demon City.
We boarded the airship and headed to the dismantler.
—-
After entrusting treatment to a priest at my own expense on the way.
We arrived at the capital of the Helium Empire, the outskirts of the archipelago.
“Is this your first time visiting the outskirts of the system?”
“It looks like you’ve been here a lot?”
“Yes… what. “I’ve been there a lot.”
I’ve come a long way in the game. The Academy was separate from the system, so we never had to meet. This road is familiar to me.
But I’m just used to it and can’t find my way.
This is because the game is in a top view format, so it is confusing as to where to go.
‘No, when I think about it, the roads don’t change in games, but since this is reality, the roads do change…’ ! Because I said it was a slum… ‘Here is the correct answer.’
Even if it is a system, slums exist. Because people keep coming into the system.
Even if the system is dirty, slums have been created intentionally.
No matter how much the gap between the rich and the poor is reduced, people without money will inevitably exist.
And in this place, there exists an eccentric blacksmith. Jig is a crazy guy who hunts and makes things on his own.
And it’s not for sale.
That’s why they live in the slums even though they have good skills.
Even though I enjoyed the original, I still don’t know exactly what this crazy person is doing.
“So the blacksmith here is really that…” “You can dismantle it?”
“That’s true, but the problem is that I have doubts about whether I will receive the request. “I tried to avoid coming as much as possible.”
A corner house located on the outskirts of the island.
It was a strange place with an atmosphere that could be considered a tavern from the Wild West era.
I still can’t blend in with the atmosphere of the house, so fortunately I was able to find it, but I doubt whether they will accept it.
Knock knock knock ㅡ
I knocked on the door, and after a while, I heard the sound of something operating.
[Are you here to make a request? Those who are not qualified cannot pass through this gate. So, let’s go back.]
Seeing that there was a lot of noise in the voice and machine sounds mixed in, it was clear that it was a recorded sound.
“I think you need qualifications?”
“What else should I do now?”
“If you forcefully destroy it, the disassembly will be strange… “
Theseus and Elijah ask about qualifications.
And I know about qualifications.
I grabbed the door handle without saying anything to qualify…
The door opened as it was.
“Eh… ?”
“What… ?”
“Uh… ?”
Elijah, Sylvia, Theseus. All three people were shocked.
I was still dumbfounded.
I didn’t know that this would be true even in the world of WFS.
Ah, it makes me angry to think about the two hours I lost back then.
[You have proven your qualifications. Come in.]
In such a messy situation.
The mechanical recorder activated as the door opened succinctly summarized the situation.
This is why I didn’t want to come.
That guy is unpredictable.
This is a guy who flies around on a Pegasus, claiming to be a Heavenly Demon God.
