When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 107

Crunch.
Oh Hyun-seong headed to the storage room inside the house.
Originally, it was a room that the previous owner had used for a different purpose, but because the area of the house he inherited was so large, there were several empty rooms that could not be used, so one of them was changed to a storage room.
There is a warehouse inside the house, and I also created a huge underground warehouse using the power of Melts.
It was intended to be filled with the necessary furniture and used as storage space in the room.
Because there was no need to go out every day to get the things I needed inside the house.
However, things were a little different from when I first created this warehouse.
‘I never thought my collection of relics would increase this much while living here.’
Oh Hyun-seong stood in front of the display case.
The artifacts he had recently acquired were stored in a display case that even had a locking device.
It appears that there are as many as four national treasures.
It is a sight that is hard to find even in the country’s top-level relic storage facilities.
‘Rudra’s Ring’ taken from a French hunter.
The ‘Chatergil’s Dagger’ created by Noya after defeating the named monster Chattergil.
And the recently acquired great sword ‘Theranos’ and ‘Cube’ with the ability to replicate.
Originally, it would have been normal for the government to take steps to recover relics of this level, but Oh Hyeon-seong was able to bring the two relics he had recovered from Seoul Station back home.
If it was a special privilege, it was a special privilege.
Judging from the fact that he was involved in this many cases and his name wasn’t even mentioned in the government report, it’s something that would have been impossible for a normal hunter.
One way or another, I am benefiting from the younger generations who have established themselves in society.
Of course, the juniors actually think the exact opposite.
Sreung!
Among them, Oh Hyeon-seong took out a large sword from the display case.
As I carefully took it out of its case, the sharp blade glowed.
“Did you end up here after going around and around?”
Theranos was an artifact that had been obtained during an overseas operation during the past special forces days, and Oh Hyun-seong was also present at the scene.
A relic stolen through fighting with Awakened units from other countries.
It is still true that national treasures have enormous value, but at the time, they were much less numerous and rarer than they are now.
When he safely returned home after securing national treasures, the reaction was so intense that the entire organization was turned upside down.
Of course, since it was not stolen to be displayed in a museum, the question of how to utilize it was discussed.
There were opinions that the relic should be taken out and used only when absolutely necessary, but due to the fierce competition between countries taking place behind the scenes at the time, it was decided to use it immediately.
The next question was who would handle this national treasure.
In principle, it would have been right for Oh Hyeon-seong to take it based on his performance in the operation and his personal record.
In fact, Oh Hyeon-seong himself had no particular interest in relics or weapons.
As a master of spirits, he wanted to freely grant spirit powers to weapons, but relics that were already imbued with unique effects were unable to do so.
Of course, Theranos, being an earth attribute relic, was able to accept Melts’ power to some extent.
However, the power of the remaining attributes was not accepted at all.
On the other hand, Noya’s weapon was satisfactory because it could accept all attributes even though it had no special effects.
As it is a weapon made by the world’s best craftsman, its durability is not so poor as to be a problem.
So he used the weapon he originally used, and Theranos yielded to Ahn Ji-hoon, who was better suited to weapons due to his special constitution.
In the end, I came back like this.
‘… Use it well.’
Even if the government had not tried to give up these relics without Baek Ji-soo’s help, Oh Hyeon-seong would have tried to recover this weapon at least.
That’s because I saw the writing that Ahn Ji-hoon left behind in the basement at the time.
Oh Hyeon-seong came out carrying a greatsword.
He left the house and climbed the hill toward the field.
A vast field spread out, different in size from the past.
In each section, various crops are growing and bearing fruit.
Oh Hyeon-seong, who was heading towards the center, lifted the greatsword he was carrying on his shoulder with one hand for a moment and then breathed the power of Multz into the blade.
Woohoo!
This national treasure-level relic, which already has earth properties, has fully absorbed the energy of Multz, the upper spirit of the earth.
Oh Hyeon-seong thrust the greatsword filled with the spirit’s energy into the target with all his might.
The greatsword, locked in place with a cracking sound, emits a soft light.
‘Now, if we just start it by injecting magic power into it… the spirit energy that we have fully loaded will be supplied to every corner of the land.’
Tsk tsk tsk!
The energy that spreads out in all directions from the exact center of the field.
Although it was a flow of magical power that was completely invisible to the naked eye, Oh Hyeonseong could feel its movement as if he was seeing it with his own two eyes.
It didn’t seem like there would be much change right away, but I hadn’t expected anything like that in the first place.
The reservoir in the back mountain where the upper water spirit, Albert, entered also quickly got rid of the turbid air, but it took quite some time for it to become the special environment it is now.
‘If you are exposed to the spirit’s energy, the soil quality will noticeably improve. It goes without saying that the soil is important for farming.’
Oh Hyun-seong took a step back and nodded.
A cabbage field with a sword stuck in the middle.
It’s not just a scarecrow, it’s a field with a national treasure stuck in the middle.
It may be visually unique, but as long as it’s effective, that’s fine.
If it helps with farming, I don’t care if it’s a national treasure or anything else.
Empty, empty, empty!
Oh Hyeon-seong, who had harvested several crops from the field to eat that day, began to cook.
What I felt while living here is that it tastes better to harvest and eat the food right when you need it that day rather than harvesting it and storing it.
There is no need to fill the warehouse to the brim.
Since it was a field that received the power of spirits anyway, there was no need to worry too much about the harvest time itself.
In general farming, if you don’t harvest on time, you may end up having to throw it away, but the longer it matures, the deeper the flavor becomes.
As a bonus, the longer you give them to grow, the higher the chance they will turn into special crops that emit light.
“The weather has cleared up a lot, really.”
Oh Hyun-seong, who came out for a moment while cooking, looked up at the sky and said.
The sight of bright clouds floating across the clear blue sky.
The breath that used to flow from the corners of my mouth whenever I went outside had long since disappeared, and my body didn’t shrink even though I wasn’t wearing a thick coat.
Winter has passed and the weather has become warm.
Of course, it’s still a bit chilly, so it’s not quite spring yet.
“Hmm, okay.”
Oh Hyun-seong nodded and headed back to the kitchen.
And then after finishing preparing the meal, I prepared a simple breakfast and took the table outside.
He placed the food on the table and began to eat in a good mood.
‘This is happiness.’
Every time he moved the spoon, a smile appeared on his lips without him knowing it.
It’s just a basic soup with vegetables and side dishes, so why is it so delicious?
It seemed natural, since it was made only with the finest ingredients that one could only dream of in the city, but I felt a sense of satisfaction that could not be explained by that alone.
Clothing that has become much lighter, sunlight shining in just the right amount, and a cool breeze.
It was the perfect environment for a refreshing morning.
Boom boom!
“I wondered why you didn’t come.”
Oh Hyeon-seong chuckled as several spirits slowly climbed onto his lap.
The reason I prepared a generous amount of side dishes for one person.
As he, who was mumbling, handed out the side dishes to each of the boys, each of them took a big bite of the food that was relatively large for their size.
The reaction is obvious even without looking.
“Is it that delicious?”
Boom boom!
Oh Hyeon-seong burst into laughter at the sight of the lower spirits making such a fuss that they almost fell over.
He wiped the mouth of one of the fire spirits that had sauce all over its mouth and looked around for a moment.
‘Come to think of it, I didn’t see you when I woke up today.’
Oh Hyeon-seong got up from his seat for a moment and looked around the yard.
I headed to the backyard behind the main building.
I peeked my head out and saw several spirits gathered in the backyard, as well as one large thing.
“What were you doing here?”
Woohoo!
A golem, a head or two larger than a human, turned its head and looked at him.
At first glance, he looks like he could be mistaken for Melts, but he’s a completely different guy.
The golem that followed him out of Seoul Station was Dentsu.
I didn’t know it when I first saw him, but Ahn Ji-hoon had this name tattooed near the bottom of his arm.
It was a name that seemed to have been created after Multz, but he really was a unique guy who gave a name to that situation.
Boom boom!
“I was wondering what you were doing because I couldn’t see you guys, and it looks like you were having an initiation ceremony or something.”
Oh Hyeon-seong looked at the earth spirits gathered around him and said.
I was thinking that I hadn’t seen any earth elemental spirits since this morning, but I didn’t expect to see them gathered in the backyard like this.
Not only the lower spirits, but also the upper spirit, Meltz, was involved.
However, Melts was in the form of a figurative creature, resembling a cute puppy rather than a golem.
Woohoo!
Golem, Dentsu’s two eyes widened.
There were already a few spirits riding on the guy’s shoulders, and judging by the atmosphere, it seemed like they were getting along well.
It seems that they did not reject any beings other than spirits.
Of course, the lower spirits, who are so innocent to begin with, wouldn’t have the personality to do that.
“You guys come here and eat some food too.”
Oh Hyeon-seong, who brought out the spirits, also shared some side dishes with them.
In fact, spirits had no need to consume anything to survive, and eating was rather a special act that they rarely did.
In the spirit world, which is their original world, they will never physically eat anything in their entire lives.
But after coming to Changyeong-ri, the spirits were finding great satisfaction and enjoyment in the act of eating.
You can tell just by looking at the guys rushing in late.
Woohoo.
Meanwhile, a golem was seen staring at Oh Hyeonseong for a while.
“Sorry. You shouldn’t eat that.”
At his words, Dentsu’s eyes drooped and he became sullen.
But there’s nothing I can do.
Unlike spirits, the creature had a structure closer to a machine that operated on magic power, and if it consumed food, it could break down or cause problems.
Boom boom.
The earth spirits that comfort such a person.
It was funny to see the little ones comforting the large, distracting golem like they were taking care of their youngest child.
He burst out laughing, patted the boy on the shoulder, and consoled him by telling him not to worry, that he would prepare something delicious for him later.
It seems like it would be good at eating things like power plants that run on horsepower, so if you get your hands on something like that later, you can give it to it.
Anyway, the rather noisy breakfast ended.
*
The next morning.
Oh Hyeon-seong headed to the field to harvest the food he would eat that day.
And he stood there in astonishment.
“…What is this?”
Wherever his vision took him, a pure white, soft light flowed from the entire field.
