Chapter 135: Chengjiang (2)
Chapter 135: Chengjiang (2)
After entering the dorm, Jun-woo lightly washed and checked his cell phone.
[Sakaguchi: It seems that there are no other sub-masters other than Wu Dragon. If there are no changes from Mr. Taisei, the action will start tomorrow at 4 am.]
[Lee Jun-woo: Please be careful.]
[Sakaguchi: Yes, Master.]
Jun-woo tucked his smartphone into the robe armor and left the room.
"Where do you want to go?"
A boy who claimed to be a guide was waiting right outside.
"Downtown?"
"Yes, come with me."
Jun-woo followed the boy out of the building and walked toward the city center.
"You can just go up this road, but what did you come here for?"
"Just."
"Are you a criminal?"
"I guess so. Are you not afraid?"
"It's not scary, of course. You gave me to gold in advance. You'll start swearing when you try to be a guide if you're a bad person."
"Were you born here?"
"Right."
"Do you know a little bit about Oh-ryeong?"
"I'm from here, too, and I can't just possibly know because I'm a Dark Star assistant boss."
"Can I meet you if I go to the Oh-ryeong building?"
At Jun-woo's words, the boy asked with a slightly startled face.
"To? If it's about joining a guild, you must go to Kunming. The level must be at least rare. Is it rare?"
"Maybe."
"After all, you seem to have different grades, but I don't think you would get along with Dark Star ."
"Why?"
"At least Dark Star does many bad things, so I don't think I would get along with you."
"Even though you know that, why are you staying here?"
"Lol, we can't go anywhere else. They say you are not welcome anywhere you go because your birth status is labeled as from Yunnan. They say it's better to be safe here than that. Dark Star still manages the area well. The tax is a little higher than other places, but it's okay because it protects you from monsters."
Jun-woo nodded slowly.
"Who is here often other than Oh-ryeong?"
"Sometimes, Kwon Do-hyeok, the next vice-master, comes along. They say the two are friendly. Do you know Kwon Do-hyuk? From Korea."
"Know."
"Because you're Japanese, Takane would know. There was also Yuma, who was called the King of Destruction by the Japanese, but Lewis killed him. Do you know this too?"
Jun-woo, the party involved, nodded his head once without saying a word.
"Isn't that great? You killed that Yuma. Even when it's not even level 100."
"Because it's legendary."
"Nice, that's a really absurd rating. But the Dark Star touched such a person, I am worried about the future."
"Worry?"
"I feel like I will come to this place someday when I reach the highest level, there are a lot of civilians, so I was wondering what to do if I killed them all."
"I am not a slayer, and I will not."
"I think so. Looking at the information floating around on the internet, he did a lot of volunteer work and worked hard for people with low grades. Just looking at it makes me feel like a good person."
Jun-woo, who was at the party, casually nodded his head again.
The boy gently clenched his fist and said in a tone of excitement.
"By the way, it's legendary You say it is a grade close to God, right? How did you get to legend rank? When I saw the documentary, I heard that you did a great job in production. Shall I do the same?"
Jun-woo answered with a slightly absurd face.
"That sounds stupid. Hunt hard. Unless it's a production job."
"Just joke. I'm just a prosecutor. How about you?"
"Wizard."
"Again, it's a robe type of clothing. Can you show me some magic?"
"I don't want to get much attention."
"Lol, sorry. If you use magic, you will feel you are mana, and people will look at you, right? Normal like we are unknown."
Jun-woo did not want to expose mana as much as possible.
By the way, if there were people around who were extremely sensitive to mana detection, he could have recognized Jun-woo with just a tiny amount of mana exposure.
"This is the Oh-ryeong building. I need to go a little further. Shall I run?"
"No, it's not urgent."
Mana is like sound, so if you run fast, mana is released.
Jun-woo refrained from running and looked around.
There were many tall, tall buildings.
The streets were full of people, and I saw many people with tattoos.
A man came out of the building and saw Jun-woo and a boy walking by and called him up.
"Hey, peasant."
"Hello, brother."
"Who is that person next to me? Are you still sticking with me as a guide?"
"Lol ."
The boy scratched his head awkwardly.
"Brother, where are you coming from?"
"It's Japan."
"It's Japanese. Wait, where's the interpreter?"
When he found the interpreter in his pocket, Jun-woo's nerves were on his right side.
Someone was approaching at an appropriate speed, and it was mana with an energy that seemed to have met at some point.
The man with the interpreter in his ear widened his eyes slightly and looked to the right, and then Jun-woo turned his head to the right.
Kwon Do-hyuk and his gang were running down the broad road.
Five people were running together, and one of them was Jun-woo and Lee Seong-cheol, a middle school classmate.
During his school days, he was a man who took the lead in bullying students just because he had a low grade, and Junwoo, who was normal at the time, was also among the victims.
After becoming an adult, he assaulted Jun-woo with only one misunderstanding: he was trying to cheat on him. As a result of that incident, he became a blacklist of the Blacksmiths Association, and he was a man who killed two of his guild members, Sega.
A sneering smile spread across Jun-woo's lips as the memory of being hit in the face by Lee Seong-cheol's fist and buried on the floor passed by once.
A being who was not even an opponent at the time felt so weak now that it was trivial.
"That person is Kwon Do-hyuk."
Everyone watched Kwon Do-hyeok running.
Some bowed their heads 90 degrees as if they were related guild members.
Kwon Do-hyuk looked around and ran, looking at Jun-woo, standing there, and passed by.
Lee Seong-cheol and Lee Seong-cheol made eye contact, but they did not recognize Jun-woo at all.
"The person wearing the gauntlet is called Lee Seong-cheol, and he said he did a great job during the last Myanmar incident. The grade is unique. It's Kwon Do-hyuk's henchman."
"Unique?"
As Jun-woo knew, Lee Seong-cheol had an Epic rating.
However, now it has become Epic+ due to its characteristics, and only rumors are circulating that it is unique thanks to its skills, features, and the ability that goes with it.
"You idiot, don't talk nonsense. Brother, what are you doing? What crime have you committed?"
"It's normal. Is that important?"
"It doesn't matter. To stay here."
"You will find out in the future. I'm thinking of joining the Dark Star."
"That, right? That's pretty good ."
He was a man with a slightly edgy look.
"Branch."
"Yes, brother, see you next time."
"Yeah, yes. Stop by later. Let me run you some errands."
The boy nodded his head and followed Jun-woo.
Jun-woo's eyes were on those who stopped while running.
Kwon Do-hyuk and his party entered a building.
The sign was in Chinese, so I couldn't tell what kind of building it was.
"Where are you?"
"It's a restaurant that uses items as ingredients, and it's the best in Chengjiang Prefecture."
"Okay, I'm hungry. Shall we go eat?"
"To? It's super expensive over there, are you okay? The base is 3 million gold."
"Not bad."
Jun-woo walked there.
A murmur was heard.
"It's Kwon Do-hyuk ."
"Looks like this place is delicious. I hear it every time I come."
"Did you see Kwon Do-hyuk's item? At least unique+, right?"
Jun-woo passed them and entered the enormous red restaurant.
"Welcome. Are you two?"
"Oh, I'm not . I'll wait outside."
"No, it's okay, so come in."
"To? really?"
Jun-woo lightly nodded and looked at the seats where Do-hyeok Kwon and his companions were sitting.
The dining room was spread out on the first and second floors, and there seemed to be rooms.
"Come over here."
It might be dangerous, but I tried to sit close to Gwangju Temple and listen to what he had to say, but I felt unsuccessful.
Without a second thought, Jun-woo went to the seat that guided him and sat down, and the menu board came out.
Indeed, the price started at 3 million gold.
"What's going on?"
"Rumor has it that Course A is well organized."
"With that, then order for two."
"Really? thank you!"
Jun-woo nodded and scanned the inside of the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, a few customers were sitting, and most were wearing items supposed to be of high grade.
-Jing
Jun-woo took out his ringing smartphone and looked at it.
[Sakaguchi: It is said that Kwon Do-hyeok has entered Chengjiang Prefecture. Dalla, Park Seong-dae, Koo Ja, and Lee Seong-cheol, the Kwon Do-hyuk family, came together. There appears to be a setback in the plan.]
[Lee Jun-woo: I see. Please let me know if any other changes occur. We will be waiting outside Chengjiang Prefecture.]
[Sakaguchi: Yes, Master.]
Jun-woo put his smartphone in and waited for the food to come out.
The boy looked at the food with twinkling eyes as the food came out.
"Bon appetite."
The boy waited for Jun-woo to eat a bite.
Jun-woo neatly grabbed a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"How about it?"
"It's delicious. Don't look at it and eat it."
"Thank you!"
The boy's chopsticks got faster.
It was a restaurant, and it was delicious.
His cooking skills using ingredients from the gate were considerable.
Perhaps the chef was also a talented person with a cook-related job.
While eating, Kwon Do-hyeok, who had entered first, came out of the room with the party.
When Kwon Do-hyeok appeared, the person in charge came out and bowed his head.
"Thank you for visiting, Dohyuk Kwon."
"I eat well. Whenever there is a problem, report it to Sr. Oh-ryeong."
"Okay, then. Take a look!"
Kwon Do-hyuk lightly nodded his head and went outside.
"Why is Kwon Do-hyuk here?"
"You said you would come sometimes. You're close with Oh-ryeong. And every time I come here, I hear a lot of rumors about it."
"Yes? Let's go now."
"To? Haven't you eaten yet?"
"Ate it all."
When Jun-woo woke up, the boy hurriedly put some leftover food into his mouth.
Jun-woo paid the bill and came out and followed them in the direction they were running.
Oh-ryeong building began to appear, and guild members with the Dark Star mark began to appear here and there.
[Do not cross this line other than the person concerned.]
He said cautiously when the boy saw the red lines and text on the floor.
"You are not allowed to go near the building where the dragon is located. Maybe it's a reporter or something hostile, so they're randomly checked? They say they attacked people in the face because of people in disguise. In fact, it's too close here."
Jun-woo looked up at the building, turned his back, and returned the way he had come.
On the way back, I saw two men on the sidewalk looking at the building of Oh-ryeong.
They were Ikegami and Sakaguchi, whom Jun-woo had changed faces.
The two did not recognize Jun-woo at all.
"Hello!"
"What's going on here, little one?"
"Guide ."
At that time, Jun-woo walked past them, and Sakaguchi suddenly looked at the back of his head as if wondering.
"Well then, good job!"
Seeing Sakaguchi reacting, Ikegami asked.
"What's wrong?"
"That man ."
"Are you familiar with this face?"
A thick neck, stiff shoulders, thick forearms that could not be covered even with robes, and a relatively narrow waist resembled a confident man from behind.
A faint smile spread across Sakaguchi's lips.
"It's nothing. I must have been wrong."
