I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 58

huge mountain.

Three people appeared in the air at the top of a gigantic mountain where the greenery was thick and the mountains were steep.

Eventually, the three people who fell down in the air disappeared and reappeared in the air in front of them.

After disappearing and reappearing like that, the three of them landed in front of a cliff halfway up the mountain.

“Uh-huh..”

Jang Chun-bok collapses as soon as she steps on the floor, complaining of dizziness.

Yoo Ji-gwang also seemed to be staggering as if he was feeling dizzy.

‘Phew, this is the first time I’ve used space movement continuously like this. Aren’t you running out of mana?’

Jung-min took out a mana potion from his inventory and gulped it down.

While feeling the rising mana again, Jang Chun-bok spoke in a worried voice.

“I have traveled such a long distance, can he follow me? You know he’s a super strong man, but he’s still able to run this distance-“

Shuung-Kwaang!!

Jang Chun-bok’s words were stopped by Leah, who flew through the air and landed on the floor with a loud sound.

Landing on the floor, Leah looked at Jung-min and said.

“Is this your destination? Is it correct that we arrived?”

Jang Chun-bok answered Leah’s question with a bewildered face.

“Ah, yes, everyone has arrived. If you go down this cliff, the cliff slopes inward, and the main body of our Jeonglim branch is located inside it. You won’t see it here.”

Yoo Ji-gwang muttered in a low voice after listening to Jang Chun-bok’s explanation.

“It’s located in a place like this… It’s impossible to find it even if you search so much…”

Jang Chun-bok glared at Yoo Ji-gwang as if he heard the muttering.

Yoo Ji-gwang cleared his throat and averted his eyes, and Jang Chun-bok growled and said,

“Some guys are desperately looking for me, so I have no choice but to come in and hide in a place like this.”

Jang Chun-bok, who fired at Yoo Ji-gwang, looked back at Leah and Jung-min and said.

“Go away. There is a hidden path down the cliff on this side. If you use teleportation, it will be quick, but if you do, there will be chaos downstairs. Go on foot.”

Leah and Jung-min nodded and moved on foot following Jang Chun-bok’s guidance.

I saw a small road in a place where I couldn’t see well because of the trees and bushes.

Jung-Min and his party went down the cliff through that road.

After going down the road for about twenty minutes, only then did the land under the cliff come into view.

Dozens of shabby buildings were visible on the inside of the cliffs cutting inwards.

Jeongmin looked at the buildings and thought.

‘It’s amazing that so many buildings are built in such a deep mountain. It’s all shabby, but… at this scale, it’s almost the size of a large village?’

While Jung-min was thinking, the party went downstairs and arrived at the entrance of the Jeongrim branch.

The entrance was nothing special.

The fact that two guards holding spears were standing between the sloppy wooden fences was enough to let them know that this was the entrance.

The guards did not show much vigilance.

Was it the confidence that there would be no one but an ally to come this far?

The guard, who was slowly looking at Jung-min and his party, confirmed Jang Chun-bok’s face and said very gladly.

“Captain Jang! Aren’t you Captain Jang!”

Jang Chun-bok also smiled brightly and said to the guard.

“Jiseok! How are you?”

“I’m the same. What? What happened to Captain Jang? Rumors abounded that he had been taken away by the Celestial League since no contact had been made.”

“It is true that he was arrested. You barely escaped or something.”

At Jang Chun-bok’s words, Ji-seok’s eyes widened.

“You were captured and escaped? no how…”

“That’s later, I’ll report it to the Lord first. May I come in?”

“Yes. You may enter. But these guys…”

Ji-seok asked Jang Chun-bok while watching Jung-min, Leah, and Yoo Ji-gwang standing behind him.

“Ah, these two are nobles who helped me escape. And this guy…”

Jang Chun-bok glared at Yoo Ji-gwang and said.

“It’s a guy named Yoo Ji-gwang. Have you heard the name?”

“Yoo Ji-gwang… Huh! You mean that tracking demon? How did he…”

Ji-seok stuttered as he aimed the spear he was holding at Yoo Ji-gwang.

Seeing this, Chang Chun-bok smiled and said.

“You don’t have to be so vigilant. This guy was completely subdued by the two of you and followed. You won’t be able to play nonsense.”

“Yeah, but…”

“Oh hey, it’s okay. I am Jang Chun-bok. Jang Chun-bok. Even if it’s someone else, it doesn’t mean they don’t trust me either, right?”

It was only after hearing Jang Chun-bok’s words that Ji-seok lowered his guard.

“Well… that’s right. It’s not someone else, it’s Captain Jang’s words.. I understand. pass by Do you really need to tell us more about it later?”

“Sure. Let’s talk over a drink. I have a lot to tell you.”

Ji-seok and the other guards withdrew in one direction, allowing Jeong-min and his party to enter.

Jang Chun-bok said as he entered.

“Let’s go see the Lord right away. You will be able to hear the situation here and the details.”

The four of them moved into the village.

There seemed to be a lot of people living in the village.

As they walked to the farthest part of the village, Jung-min looked around.

‘There are quite a few people. If you look at your appearance or physical condition… it seems that you are not rich in something. All the children who should be full of energy have no energy..’

As I entered the village, I came across a building that was bigger and neater than the other houses.

In front of the building, a man stood guard holding a spear.

He looked at Jang Chun-bok and exclaimed happily.

“Chief Pole!”

“It’s been a while. How are you?”

Jang Chun-bok and the guard exchanged greetings.

“We are always the same. By the way..”

Jang Chun-bok roughly introduced Jeong-min and his company.

Hearing Chang Chun-bok’s words, the guards felt very surprised.

“Yu, Yoo Ji-gwang…”

“For now, put Lee Ja in prison. Do you have any left of the bracelet of the seal?”

“Yes, please wait a moment.”

The guard ran away quickly and returned with a bracelet in his hand.

As the guard tried to put on the bracelet, Yoo Ji-gwang stepped back and showed hostility.

Seeing that, Leia spoke softly.

“I’m obediently wearing the bracelet. If you do nonsense, you won’t be normal anymore.”

Hearing Leah’s words, Yoo Ji-gwang trembled once and then obediently put the bracelet on his wrist.

Seeing this, Jang Chun-bok asked the guard.

“Who is in charge of the prison cell now?”

“I am the head of the bible business.”

“Ah, if you’re a Bible business friend, you can trust him. If you see this guy showing any signs of nonsense, tell him it doesn’t matter if you use your hands ruthlessly. It’s okay if you cut off your limbs. As long as the mouth that can speak is safe.”

Yoo Ji-gwang growled and glared at Jang Chun-bok’s words, but when he found Leah staring at him, he hurriedly lowered his head again.

The guard grabbed Yoo Ji-gwang’s arm and left.

Seeing that, Jung-min asked Leah in a small voice.

“Would it be okay? That guy’s skills aren’t formidable, but if he even tries to break out…”

“It will be fine. Looks like someone trustworthy is in charge of the prison. And even the bracelet of the seal is filled.”

“What is the bracelet of the seal? What features does it have?”

“It’s literally a bracelet that seals your abilities. If you wear it, you will be unable to use all your skills, and your stats will be cut in half.”

“Hey, do you have such a great item?”

“It’s a bit silly to say it’s a huge item. It only lasts for one day after wearing it. After that, you can use it again after ten days have passed. In order to continue to seal the power, you have to change it once a day. Depending on the situation, it can be very useful, but… it’s a very ambiguous item compared to its price.”

“Um.. I see.”

While Jung-min and Leah were talking, the guard who disappeared with Yoo Ji-gwang returned.

“I put him in prison well. Even if the duration of the bracelet of seal is short, there will be no problem if it is the head of the bible business.”

“It was hard. Then we should meet Lord Hoe.”

“Oh, wait a minute. I will inform the Lord.”

The man went into the building and came out shortly after.

“Come in. The Lord is waiting for you.”

Jang Chun-bok nodded and looked at Jeong-min and Leah.

“Go away.”

The three entered the building.

Upon entering the door, a narrow hallway caught my eye, with one door on each side. And there was another door at the end of the hallway.

Jang Chun-bok took Jung-min and Leah to the door at the end of the corridor, the innermost of them.

A man and a woman stood by the door, guarding each side of the entrance.

Standing in front of the door, Chang Chun-bok said.

“Sir. I am Jang Chun-bok, the leader of the reconnaissance team.”

“Come in”

When he was told to enter the door, Jang Chun-bok opened the door.

The scenery of the room seen through the open door gave a somewhat shabby feeling to the room of Hoe-joo, who leads an episode.

A shabby bed and a desk. And a room with a long table and chairs in front of it.

And a gray-haired, elderly man sitting in front of the desk.

“Welcome.. Umm..!”

Hoe-ju looked at Jeong-min and seemed to admire it lightly, but then looked at Leah and swallowed.

Seeing that, Leia smiled lightly and said.

“Let me do a ‘mental connection’ for a moment. Could you tell me something?”

After hearing Leah’s words, Jang Chun-bok whispered something to Hoe-joo.

As Hoeju nodded, Leah used the ‘Mental Connection’ skill.

The light that started from Leah’s head covered Hoe-joo’s head.

As soon as the words came together, Leah smiled and said to Hoeju.

“If you want to use the ’emotional eye’, you have to use it without the other person knowing. What if you show off like that?”

After hearing Leah’s words, Jung-min was able to understand Hoe-joo’s reaction.

Jeong-min didn’t know, but Leah’s status window wouldn’t have been visible to Hoe-joo.

Houju said with a reddened face.

“Um… I’m sorry. As much as a position is a position, it is a position where you have to thoroughly inspect the status room.. I apologize once again.”

Seeing Hoe-joo lowering his head and apologizing right away, Jung-min felt a fresh emotion.

Only then did Jang Chun-bok, who learned of the situation, hurriedly approach Hoe-ju and whispered something in his ear.

Hearing the story of Jang Chun-bok, Hoe-joo’s eyes were filled with admiration.

Hoeju looked at Jeongmin and Leah and said.

“One was the one who lightly defeated Yoo Ji-gwang, the tracking demon of the Thousand Humans Gate. If it wasn’t for Captain Jang’s words, it would have been hard to believe. You’re such a strong person…”

Leah said calmly without any reaction.

“Well, that’s not a big deal.”

Looking at Leah like that, Hoeju said.

“Yes, from what Captain Jang said, you are from another continent? Judging by the color of your hair and your appearance, you seem to be from another continent, but are you really from another continent?”

Jeongmin answered Hoeju’s question.

“Well. Well, let’s do that for now.”

“Let’s just say that… you must be hiding something. We need to talk about this for a bit longer.”

“We are of the same opinion. If you talk at length, you will learn something new.”

Houju nodded and spoke to the two of them.

“There is no need to speak too harshly. Did you eat your meals? How would you like to talk after having a meal together?”

In response to Hoeju’s question, Jungmin said.

“If you treat me, I will not refuse. I’m hungry because I haven’t eaten in a long time.”

Hearing Jung-min’s words, Hoe-ju called a man standing outside the door.

The woman by the door came in, ordered something, and the woman who was instructed went outside.

After a while, the woman returned with a tray in her hand, and various foods were placed on it.

The woman put the food she had brought on the long table.

Watching the food being served, Hoe-joo said to Jeong-min and Leah with a slightly red face.

“I hope you will understand if I am a little poorly dressed. Since this place is not very rich… But, I prepared quite a table for Hoeju.”

As Hoeju said, speaking somewhat embarrassed, the table prepared was not very good.

A few side dishes and a bowl of noodles each.

The noodles did not contain any other ingredients except for the noodles.

Jung-min looked at Hoe-joo, who was embarrassed, and smiled.

“no. That’s great. thank you for this food.”

The four of you started eating.
