My Ex-Wives Are Obsessed With Me - Chapter 70
70 – Traces of Her
*
It was absurd that Baekryong asked me to accept him as a disciple before, but this time his father and family owner Jin Suhyeon asked me to accept him as a disciple.
“I’m that… Student, and I’m the same age as your son?”
First of all, I tried tackling it out of common sense.
“Will age matter when you have a teacher? Anyone can become a teacher if they have something to learn.”
The opponent is also coming out with a lot of common sense. To be honest, maybe it’s because I’ve lived for 137 years, but I think age is fine.
Aren’t I actually getting along well with 17-year-olds? Well, to be honest, I already received Jin Baekryong as a disciple, so is there any reason why I can’t be called an uncle?
‘I’ll just have to take that much instead.’

“My ransom must be very expensive?”
I received Jin Baek-ryong as a disciple, but I received a divine elixir, so shouldn’t I be able to pay for the old man as a disciple?
“When I heard about sparring at school, I heard that you are also good at spears. Can you accept me as a disciple if I have something related to spears?”
“Call.”
If it’s a new thing, it’s not enough and overflows. Excluding the special ability contained in the divine object itself, even simple additional stats would be of great help to me.
You can’t wear more than 4 new items at the same time, but right now I don’t have a single new item, so anything I can get is fine.
“Then I’ll bring it.”
“Yes.”
Even though she is 17 on the outside, she is 137 on the inside, so it didn’t feel awkward to talk casually with Jin Soo-hyeon. Although the servants around him were making faces asking what kind of situation this was.
I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes when Jin Soo-hyeon brought a spear to the gymnasium. Because he had something in his hand that couldn’t be here, that shouldn’t be here.
A golden spear with a shape I was familiar with, I checked the information on it.
[Gungnir (Mythology): The god of madness, the god of war, and the weapon of Odin, the superlative god who has many other modifiers.
*Strength 40, Agility 40, Intellect 40
* Penalty: Unconditionally hits the target.
*Recovery: Returns to its owner when desired.
* Indestructible: Can never be broken against low-level weapons.
*Self-healing: When broken, it repairs itself.
*Transformation: You can switch back and forth between the spear form and the bracelet form.
*Owner: None]
‘This isn’t supposed to be here.’
Only one thing can exist. Unless they were created as a pair in the first place, there could be no such thing as the same sacred item, and Gungnir was already discovered in the world of Estelle.
There is only one reason it could be on Earth. That the person who had Gungnir transferred to Earth. And he is the last person to have Gungnir.
‘Ruina.’
She was the one who loved me, who had no choice but to give her wounds to prevent a bigger wound. Of course, it could be that she sold Gungnir, or that the person who bought her weapon came to Earth.
However, my intuition was that Ruina was on Earth, and she was saying that. That would be true, too, because even though it was very slight, the reverberation of Ruina’s energy was left in Gungnir.
The reverberation of her aura still lingers, which means that it hasn’t been 2 weeks since you left her.
Isn’t it a much more natural guess that Ruina came to Earth herself than that the person who bought Gungnir transferred to Earth within two weeks?
But we will have to find out why Gungnir is separate from Ruina.
“This weapon. Where did you get it?”
First of all, the first person to get information was Jin Soo-hyeon, who brought this weapon.
“I got it from the black market.”
“Isn’t there hardly any new items on the black market?”
The black market has the great advantage of completely hiding the identity of the seller and buyer, but since 25% is taken off as a sales commission, very expensive items do not often appear on the market.
“Right. Maybe the one who can’t do a public auction is all-in.”
When there is no power to protect the item in a public auction, when the identity is unknown, when the item needs to be dealt with urgently, or when a brand new item is put on the black market.
It is said that Jin Suhyeon was lucky enough to purchase it, but if so, there is only one way to find out who the seller is.
‘I have no choice but to ask the owner of the black market directly…’
Since the black market is a space created based on the S-class characteristics of the owner of the black market, only the owner could know the identity of the people who posted the goods.
Because information has never been leaked, people use it even after paying a high fee, so it is impossible to find out the identity of the seller in any other way.
‘But is it right that I’m looking for Ruina?’
I am now a worldwide celebrity. If Ruina wanted to visit me, she could come at any time. She does, but the fact that she didn’t even try might mean that she doesn’t want to meet me.
But the other problem here is, then, why did Ruina come to Earth? If she had come to see me, she would have come already, even if she said she came to see Estelle.
She really didn’t know if she should even make her assumption that it wasn’t Ruina who brought Gungnir to Earth.
“Is there any way to find out the seller’s information from the owner of the black market?”
It’s a question that I can’t come up with an answer to by thinking about it alone. First of all, I asked Jin Soo-hyun, the person closest to me who had the ability to help me.
If the seller is not Ruina, she can go straight to the seller and ask how she got the item.
“Do you think this is something you know?”
“Yes. It’s an item that a friend of mine used before, but it’s been a while since we lost contact with him. So I wanted to ask how he got it.”
He looks troubled.
“Ludwig… I need something to interest him in order to find out the seller’s information from him. Simple divine objects or elixirs aren’t appealing to him, so nothing much will work.”
As one of the top 10 families, it seems that he maintains some connection with the black market seller, but he doesn’t seem to be able to gain anything with his status alone.
“Wouldn’t even be the body of Nidhogg I caught?”
Currently, Nidhogg’s corpse is being dismantled by the Jin family. I was told that they would do all the grooming by giving 10%, so I readily accepted it, but I have no idea how much value it would have.
“Nidhogg-class dragon corpses are very rare, but dragon corpses are relatively easy to obtain. I don’t know how to build a relationship, but the seller’s information is unreasonable.”
The most valuable thing I have. Let’s think about what it is. Muk-roe-wall-ryeok and blood-throwing martial arts were highly valued only in Moorim, but they are not favored compared to other techniques in Earth.
Yuwon-gum is also made with the basic premise of using martial arts, and it is a sword technique that can only be used with my level of enlightenment, so it will not be highly valued.
At least spacecraft spearmanship will be highly valued, but wouldn’t it still be treated similarly to or slightly above Gungnir? It would be unreasonable to get the seller’s information with this.
My strength is very exceptional compared to my age, no, including adults, but the power that the black market owner can appoint is of course greater than mine, so it is impossible to appeal with force.
You can tell me to take a bet on my future, but even if you reach the level of a master in your teens, there are many people who do not reach the level of a grand master until they enter their 80s.
As long as I don’t know where my peak will be, the option of betting on my potential is impossible as a merchant.
‘Was I such an insignificant person?’
I can’t find the answer even after searching all the skills. Even if I look at all of my personal connections and things, I can’t find anything that appeals to me.
The moment I checked the list of attributes I possess with the feeling of grasping at straws…
‘If this…?’
The answer… Appeared.
[The Beginning Giant (SS)]
I’ve been thinking wrong all this time.
Among all the things I had, the most valuable thing at this point was not objects, skills, personal connections, or force, but my body itself. A transcendent species that stands at the pinnacle of all species.
Those who are evaluated as having the best materials among living things. However, my body was a body that had the potential to stand at the pinnacle of the transcendent species, a step up from there.
My blood, muscles, bones, and saliva all had the value of being the best materials ever found. It can be seen as a walking golden goblin.
If this fact is known, it will be quite tiring, but I’m just saying that I can supply this material periodically, and I won’t tell you how to get it, so I didn’t worry too much.
“Mister, can you give me a call to the owner of the black market?”
I got the ingredients. So now was the time to try to talk to get the information I needed.
