The World of Sound - Chapter 86



Only Krnovel

Cheonhwa and his party, who came down from Sungsan, were unable to leave Deungbonghyeon right away.

It’s true that you’ve decided to hurry to achieve your goal, but just because you walk faster doesn’t mean things will go faster.

Deungbong-hyeon was already quite deserted as many people had already left, but not everyone had left.

Haomen.

They played a huge role in the preparations for this martial arts competition, but they stayed behind to clean up, and Cheonhwa had business to attend to.

“It’s been a while, Grandmaster.”

So, when he went to Haomen’s residence, a rather unexpected person was waiting for him.

Mayeryeong.

She appeared, having been the head of the Haomen Akyang branch, but having been transferred to a different position due to work entrusted to her by Cheonhwa.

“It’s been a while. I heard you moved.”

“It’s all thanks to you, Cheonhwa-nim. I was sad that I couldn’t see you last night, but fortunately you stopped by before leaving.”

“Last night? Oh, you mean the sunspots. Well… … Okay, that’s fine.”

“If you had come, I would have treated you well. I was preparing to come see you separately anyway. I have finished disposing of the items you left for me, and I have some things to report to you.”

I thought that since this martial arts competition was such a big event for Haomun, she was mobilized as well, but when we talked, it turned out that she was actually in a leading position.

The person in charge of the dark side and black spots.

She was promoted from the position of branch manager and took on that role.

It may be because of the things that Cheonhwa entrusted to her, but the fact that she is Maga Cheolbang’s daughter may also have played a part.

Even though you may have left your family, the insight you learned while growing up will not go anywhere.

So I expected Cheonhwa to come and checked everyone who entered the sunspot last night, but unfortunately Cheonhwa did not visit.

But since Cheonhwa came to visit me, even if it was late, the work was reduced.

I had planned to visit him because I had quite a few things to convey to him aside from expressing my gratitude, but since the whole of Central Plains was in an uproar, my worries that we might get lost or run into trouble disappeared.

“First, the items you entrusted have all been sold. Some were sold at a high price to those who really needed them, and the rest were sold at the highest possible price through auctions and other methods. At the same time, I found several items that you wanted among the items listed on Black Spot and purchased them through my agent. There was some price competition during the process, but as you said, I spared no expense and was able to secure them.”

“That’s good to hear. I was going to ask if any of the items I requested had been found.”

The first report was about the sale of the elixir that Cheonhwa had entrusted to him and the arrangement of the desired items.

Naturally, all the items sold out, and a huge profit was made, and luckily, some of the items that Cheonhwa was looking for, whose whereabouts had been unknown for some time, were obtained.

This could not have been more welcome news to Cheonhwa, who was trying to spur the recovery of the Samun’s treasure through a fight with Shinsung.

“I couldn’t get some of it directly, but I was able to figure out where it was.”

“Oh, what kind of things?”

“that…….”

“… … !!”

We also heard stories about items that we were unable to obtain, but whose whereabouts we were able to confirm.

Among them, there were some minor ones, but there were also the most essential materials, such as iron ore and uncheol, so Cheonhwa’s eyes widened.

“That’s right… … .”

However, the location was quite far from here and it seemed like it wouldn’t be easy to get there.

But that wasn’t a problem for Cheonhwa at all.

Because I was confident that if I just went there, I could get it no matter what.

With a quick glance, he immediately planned a route to get there, and in the meantime, Mayeryeong relayed some more news.

“I’m sorry to tell you, but I have some bad news.”

“Go ahead.”

“They tried to leave the property they had disposed of at Wijisega in the name of Cheonhwa at Mangeumjeonjang… … but they were attacked and robbed before they reached the battlefield.”

“… … What kind of kids?”

The news wasn’t all good.

He was supposed to receive half of the Weiji family’s assets, but it all ended up in the hands of other people.

It was only natural that Cheonhwa’s eyes turned to those words.

How dare you covet what’s yours.

I don’t know what kind of swollen bastards they are, but I couldn’t just sit by and watch.

“I’m sorry. I searched but couldn’t find any traces. However, considering the time period, method, and remnants of the battle, I think they are the same group that launched a large-scale attack on the Central Plains martial arts world. I’m continuing to gather information on this, so if I come across anything specific, I’ll let you know.”

However, the identity of the monster has not been revealed.

It was natural to maintain secrecy in order to do something like that, but it was still Haomen.

Coachmen, boatmen, porters, servants, merchants, gisaengs, parachutes, etc., unless they were living in hiding in the mountains, it would be impossible to avoid the eyes of Haomen and those who belonged to them, but the fact that they were not known to be aware of their identities meant that they had prepared perfectly.

Cheonhwa’s anger boiled over even more because it was not something that happened by accident.

However, it would be difficult to lie and hide it forever.

That was because Haomen’s information power was excellent, and above all, if he had that much money, he would end up spending it.

They wouldn’t have taken the money just to hoard it, so they would have ended up getting caught.

Since it was not too late to punish him, I had no choice but to suppress my anger for now.

“Okay. Then, please send the items you’ve secured to Maga Ironworks. After all, we’ll need to borrow their facilities to make what we want.”

“All right.”

I wanted to try out the newly acquired materials right away, but they were of no use to me for now.

Since they would only be able to attempt to craft it once all the necessary materials were gathered, Cheonhwa requested that the gathered materials be sent to Maga Ironworks.

It is possible to make it without having to borrow the facilities of Maga Cheol Bang, but it would be better to have a good environment and tools to achieve greater perfection.

There were many other stories exchanged between the two.

In particular, there are quite a few stories worth knowing, such as stories that happened behind the scenes at this martial arts competition, stories about the great raid, and stories related to the Iron Man Gate of Majin that has already left.

Of course, since he was talking to Hao Wen, who was an information merchant, a considerable amount of money was deducted from the money he had entrusted to him each time, but the amount of money that Cheon Hwa had was still enormous.

This is because, in addition to the money made from selling elixirs, the money made from predicting the winner of this tournament was enormous.

I won money on every bet I predicted, and the odds were respectable.

This is because I not only bet on sure wins, but also on outcomes that others could not have imagined.

Especially in the case of the prediction that he would knock down his opponent in one blow, it was something that could not be predicted or followed through, so he could receive a dividend beyond imagination.

“Daehyeop. If you are interested, would you like to join Black Spot now?”

“Huh? Isn’t that finished?”

So, the work at Haomen had to end.

However, at the moment when Cheonhwa was about to leave, Mayeryeong made him a proposal.

“That’s right. But I’m here. I only have leftover items for sale, but if you’d like, I’ll open up my warehouse so you can look around and buy something.”

“Is that okay?”

“Of course. There are some items that are only available at Black Spot, but those items will eventually be sold again through Black Spot.”

“Well then, let’s see. There are other things I wanted to buy as well.”

It is said that the black spot will be reopened just for Cheonhwa.

To be exact, it is opening a warehouse where the remaining products sold at the black spot are stored, but according to the principle, this is impossible.

Since she is in charge of the black spots and dark spots, she opens them randomly, but these are usually items you can find in the dark spots that have been reorganized.

“Keek!”

Naturally, Cheonhwa accepted the offer and moved to another location.

It was a space that was only allowed to him, but even Brainyungseo, who refused to be separated from him, was allowed entry as an exception.

“You must have a lot of great stuff.”

As soon as you enter, a strong scent hits you.

The powerful energy emitted by each item rippled in the eyes of Cheonhwa who used the Shicheon method.

Even though the brain sensed it and trembled, it did not move recklessly without permission.

He just wraps his belly around Cheonhwa’s neck and sticks his head out, looking around cautiously.

“I’ve put the price list aside, but if you choose something you like, I’ll check it for you.”

Cheonhwa examined them carefully.

Although the black spot had already opened once and all the most valuable items had been sold, the items inside the warehouse were all excellent.

They say that they are quite rare enough to appear on black spots.

Rather, it was difficult to see them as just leftovers, as among them there were some that had high value but were not immediately useful or could not be sold due to lack of financial resources.

There are many who have been left behind as they rushed to purchase weapons and elixirs that are in high demand and have clear uses.

This was especially true for valuables that had little use on their own. If they were not finished products, they could be damaged or destroyed during production, losing their value. Also, considerable skill was required to handle them, so it was natural to hesitate to buy them at a high price unless they were to be used as materials for a platform.

That’s why Cheonhwa was able to slowly examine the items and make a rather satisfied expression.

Anyway, weapons and elixirs mean nothing to him.

I was even thinking about selling the elixir I received from Shaolin because I didn’t feel the need to use it.

Although the weapon can handle anything, it was not in a position to specifically shoot anything, so the position was very different from theirs.

Also, the capital that could be used at will was different.

Since they are not personal property anyway, one cannot help but be cautious, but since the money is entirely mine, I can use it however I want.

“Please give me this, this, and that too. I hope you don’t run out of money?”

“Of course. Unless it’s a weapon or elixir, it wouldn’t cost that much.”

That is why the things that Cheonhwa chose were not weapons or elixirs, but other secondary things.

I didn’t know if I would ever use it, but just in case, I packed the Yosangdan and Geumchangyak, and chose a few dharma books and music scores.

It may not be of much help, but it seemed worth reading.

“Please give me this too.”

The last thing I chose was none other than memorization.

It was a newly developed rotary weapon that was the size of a palm, and was a bit difficult to call a weapon, but it had a special use.

“This is it? Ahem. To be honest, I don’t recommend it. It is a secret weapon made by the Tang family, but it is an unfinished product that even they would call a failure, so its utility is greatly reduced and it seems difficult to use without special skills… … .”

“It’s okay. I think I can use it somehow. If it doesn’t work out, then there’s nothing I can do.”

“All right.”

If you mix in a special technique and throw it, you can spin it around and tear apart your opponent, but it is relatively large for a memorized weapon, and it is unclear how to throw it.

Even though the Tang family would know about it, they didn’t reveal it to the public, and since even they were putting it on the black spot, it could be seen as something they had practically given up on developing, so Mayeryeong suggested that they reconsider, but Cheonhwa was firm.

Although he also does not know the intention of the person in question, he has a thought that came to mind as soon as he saw and touched it.

I think it could be a pretty fun technique if used well.

It might need a little remodeling, but I went ahead with the purchase because it seemed worth a try, and while Mayeryeong was making people take care of it, a commotion arose on one side.

“Huh?!”

“no!!”

“… … ?!”

“What the heck!?”

While Cheonhwa was inspecting the items, Noeryeong, who had been wandering around for a while, had an accident.

I was looking around at the elixirs that felt full of natural ingredients, and I ended up biting into one.

“What’s going on?”

“That’s… … This guy swallowed the elixir without permission.”

Cheonhwa and Mayeryeong, who had reacted to the commotion, quickly went over to the area and saw Noeryeong lying on the floor, drooling, having already swallowed something.

It seemed as if I had swallowed an elixir that contained an energy that did not suit my body.

“Elixir? What is it?”

In that situation, Cheonhwa and Mayeryeong frowned at the same time.

If he swallowed the elixir without permission, it would be fine if his master, Cheonhwa, paid the price on his behalf, but if something happened to Noeryeongseo, Haomun could not be held completely responsible for not being able to prevent it.

“Well, that’s the brain stem, but… … .”

“Brain spirit map?”

“… … This is a fruit that grew on a peach tree that was struck by lightning. It is called that because the energy of lightning seeped into it. Despite its grand name, the energy it contains is not all that special, but I wonder what it would be like for a little child to get drunk on it… … .”

So we need to take action quickly.

But Mayeryeong was also unable to take action.

If he were a human, he could have used something like Jin-gi-do to save him, but the blood flow of a spirit is different from that of a human.

Because he was afraid that he might have misdirected his energy and caused trouble, he just looked back and forth between Cheonhwa and the guy with an awkward expression, and Cheonhwa, the owner, just watched the guy tremble in silence after hearing the story about the Brain Spirit Guide.

‘Brain Spirit? Where have I heard of it…? Oh?’

Then suddenly, something occurred to me.

It was a phrase I heard along with the story about the brainwashing book.

– When viewed individually, the Brain Spirit Book and Brain Spirit Guide are nothing more than weak beings that contain brain energy, but when the two meet, the Brain Spirit Book will be reborn as an incarnation of Brain Spirit that can communicate with the heavens and freely control brain energy.

If that is true, then what happened to Brain Spirit now was not simple suffering.

evolution.

It was the beginning of something that could be called something like that.
