I Alone Going To The Tower

Chapter 8

the next morning.

When I opened my eyes, a ‘billion’ sound came out of my mouth. Fatigue almost to death from the ordeal was piled up all over his body.

It is unreasonable to challenge the ordeal right now in this state. So, I decided to do a new job while also taking care of my body.

I opened the book about the potion I got from the bookcase on the 9th floor.

“It’s difficult, so it’s a potion.”

… … Although the title of the book is a bit strange, it contained a list of basic potions and recipes. It was convenient because the manufacturing process was also specified based on the facilities in the horse tower. Among them, the potions I will try and make are as follows.

Effect: 50 regeneration. Increased effect when used repeatedly.

Ingredients: Black Mountain (1) Convoy (1) Harley (2).

Heuksan, Convoy, and Harley were all by-products of plant-type monsters and were easily available in Korea.

Monster skins and bones are often used to make equipment, but there is not much demand for such plant residues, so the market price is also on the low side. In particular, was ‘Heuksan’ about 200 won each?

To be able to make a potion with only these materials, if you compare it a little bit, it’s like printing gold with a rolling stone.

‘Good. That’s the real thing.’

First, I went to the warehouse on the first floor and looked for some materials.

Unfortunately, the potion material side seemed to have to be replenished locally because there were not enough supplies or many things had rotted over time.

Still, I was able to secure enough quantity to make a few bottles as I searched persistently.

I grabbed the ingredients and returned to the front of the book.

‘This must be done using a pot.’

The tangled coffins on the table looked like they were used to make more advanced potions.

I approached the large pot lying in the corner on the first floor.

Magic circles were engraved on the surface of the pot, and it felt like a control button for an electronic product.

After fully understanding how to use it, I started working.

First, he touched the magic circle with the ‘water rune’ and let the mana flow. Then a magic circle was activated inside the pot, and water poured out.

“… oh oh oh!”

this is fun To fill the pot with water by magic without fetching water or using a tap.

The wizards imagined it would be a quiet and modest image, but the magic circle elevator was also quite advanced.

After the pot filled with enough water, the magic circle at the bottom of the pot was activated to start a fire.

When the water started to boil, I put the ingredients in the book and stirred it with a large ladle.

Potion preparation was characterized by the occasional need for magical means. ‘Heuksan’ had to be powdered and sprinkled using preparation magic, and ‘Halley’ had to be put in boiling water and coated with mana one by one when the surface came up round like frying.

After doing this and that work near the pot for an hour, the color of the liquid changed to a thick red.

“It’s done!”

I tilted the pot and poured the contents into the empty potion bottle. In fact, packaging was more difficult than making it.

And with the eyes of the sage, the information on the finished product was confirmed.

Category: Potion

Use:

-[40 Regeneration]

-[Increase effect when used repeatedly]

Perhaps there was a mistake in the process, the result of 40 was reduced by 10 from the regenerative power in the book.

It looks like this requires some very detailed work.

Still, I’m happy with my first work.

Now that I’ve actually created the potion, I immediately made a phone call.

Potion distribution had a suitable person in mind.

“Uh, it’s me. Do you have some time tonight?”

When asked about the business, I answered with a smile.

“Ah, it’s not a big deal, just because we want to start a business together.”

* * *

That night.

I was waiting for customers near Sanggye-dong Station.

‘come.’

teacup teacup.

A man with a familiar face was approaching this way with calm footsteps.

A well-fitted casual suit and horn-rimmed glasses with an intellectual feel. The outfit is reminiscent of a young and trendy British gentleman.

“It’s been a while. Yoo-shin is the hyung.”

This guy’s name is Jeong Jeong-jin. He is 21 years younger than me, two years younger than me, and he is a junior from the same middle school.

First of all, he’s younger than me, but he looks and feels like a worn-out office worker in appearance, in appearance, in speech.

“Yeah, it’s been a while. Seo Jin-ah.”

“You’re in business?”

… … Still, it’s been a long time since we met, so what’s the point? That clean and simple personality was still there.

“That’s right. I need your help.”

“What business item?”

“Let’s go in and talk.”

As I pointed to the dark road and spoke, Jeong Seo-jin fixed his glasses with an unknown expression.

“It bothers me that the meeting point is probably near the control area. May I ask if the location is related to a business item?”

“It’s related. And it’s not in the vicinity, it’s in the control area.”

“……”

The boy, whose expression hardened, let out a small sigh.

“It’s probably not the kind of business that can be proudly disclosed.”

The question raised by Jeong Seo-jin was reasonable before it was offensive.

The control area is a dangerous area where monsters appear.

For this reason, there were frequent cases where various criminal organizations hid and manufactured drugs or illegal weapons using things that people did not have access to.

I’m definitely going to deny it here.

“As I said before, it’s not what you think it is.”

“Then tell us about your business here.”

“I have to explain a hundred days here, you don’t understand. You have to go see this for yourself…”

” Yoo-shin is the older brother.”

He pressed the button on the briefcase he was holding and dropped it on the floor.

click.

As the bag opened, it splayed left and right, revealing a bunch of bundles of money inside.

“It will be about the initial capital of the business.”

“…?”

“I’m going to leave.”

… … look at this child what do you think of me

Well, in fact, it may be natural for Jeong Seo-jin to react like this.

In the meantime, how many people have tried to suck the blood from the back of the head by looking at this guy’s background?

The repertoire that comes out like a business person, approaching him and asking him to give money is probably the most common case of this guy in his life.

However, from the standpoint of Jeong Jeong-jin, I would not be in a relationship that can be broken so easily.

He owes me.

So, this money would be the minimum way for the benefactor and it would mean that he would pay off his debts and leave. If I receive this, he will never appear in front of me again.

I glanced at the bag of money and said.

“I do not need.”

“……Yes?”

“What I need right now is your ability, not money.”

Jeong Seon-jin’s expression changed strangely.

“Well, it’s misleading to call it without any background explanation. Then let’s taste it for a moment…”

I spread my right hand. As Jeong Jeong-jin looked at what it was, a blue light spewed out of his right hand and a magic circle unfolded.

The boy’s eyes widened.

“What is this? Obviously, his unique ability is…”

“Not a unique ability.”

Shoo!

Mana arrows shot out of the magic circle collided with a nearby stone wall and bang!

made a sound

“It’s magic.”

“……”

Jeong Seo-jin fixed his glasses with trembling hands.

“It’s magic, do you think I’d believe such unscientific stories?”

After exhaling like that, Jeong Seo-jin brushed her hair with a self-helpful expression.

“…to say that is now an anachronism.”

“Huh, I know. It’s an era where monsters come out and hunters play an active part.”

Jeong Jeong-jin is also a player. There was no way that such a guy could deny the scene unfolding before his eyes.

As if she had finally made up her mind, Jeong Seo-jin grabbed her briefcase and said.

“Excuse me. Where can I go?”

* * *

I broke through the control area with Jeong Jeong-jin and arrived in front of the horse tower.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve done something so reckless.”

Jeong Seo-jin, who was looking around the dark forest, murmured as if feeling new.

“Didn’t we always have accidents together in middle school?”

“That was a good time.”

“How was it in America?”

“I just stayed there. In fact, I was told to only study and die.”

I nodded and stopped in front of the door.

“Give me a hand.”

“A hand?”

“Because you need a sign to enter the tower. Oh, you didn’t explain this.”

In order for outsiders to enter the horse pagoda, the pattern of the seon horse pagoda must be engraved on their body.

It is true that I heard from EA, but it is said that this pattern has a special forbidden magic in addition to the right of passage.

The currently designated prohibition trigger is ‘Leakage of information from the tower’.

If this is violated in any way, the magic tower’s tracking magic will be activated immediately, and a backflow of mana will occur in the target.

“It’s a kind of security magic.”

“Hmm, that’s a little scary.”

“It’s not forced. If you don’t want to do it, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Jeong Seo-jin gently held out her hand.

“Actually, it was enough to film without explaining it. This time, I will trust you.”

Actually, it seems that I was a little sorry for my doubts earlier.

I collected mana from the tip of my finger and put it on the back of Jeong Jeong-jin’s hand. A blue mark was engraved like a seal.

“Okay. Let’s go in.”

I did a demonstration first. As soon as I touched the door with my palm, I was sucked into the door.

When I entered the tower, I slightly stepped aside, and then Jeong Seo-jin, who came out of the door, lost her balance and rolled over the floor.

“Haha! Are you okay? I did too at first.”

“…Yes. It’s fine.”

Jeong Seo-jin, who got up, brushing her clothes off, looked around him with wide-eyed eyes.

“It’s amazing. To have a space like this in the tower…”

“Top master, are you a guest?”

A group of lights gathered in the air, and Ea appeared. Jeong Seo-jin was startled and stepped back to her.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Who, who?”

“My name is EA, who is in charge of managing the tower.”

She bowed her head and said hello.

“……”

Why is the kid so gloomy again?

“Oh, well. This is Jeong Jeong-jin.”

The two shook hands lightly.

“Ah, did we have something to entertain you?”

“I have a few bags of coffee mix that Topju bought at a convenience store.”

“Zeep, yes. Ask me for that.”

Ea politely bowed her head and disappeared. I flicked her finger in front of Jeong Seo-jin’s blank face.

“Ugh!”

“Why are you bruising like this?”

“Oh, sorry.”

We sat comfortably on the sofa in the center of the lobby. Jeong Jeong-jin could not take his eyes off the glittering golden walls and various experimental tools.

“I heard it’s a terrible abomination of Seoul, but I never thought it would be such a beautiful place.”

“Huh, right?”

“If I hadn’t come out today, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.”

… … forever? Why is this guy so overrated all of a sudden?

Then Ea appeared and put the coffee in her paper cup.

“I’m sorry for the hospitality like this. It’s not going to fit in the mouth of a gold spoon.”

Hum. Jeong Jeong-jin took a sip of coffee and smiled faintly.

“It feels good to be sweet.”

look at me and tell me

“Then can we start talking about business now?”

“Yes, let’s get started.”

First, I briefly explained the tower. Jeong Seo-jin listened to her story while nodding her head with a serious face as if it had ever been.

“So, the first floor is a potion preparation layer that makes potions. I made one in advance.”

I took out the potion from the glass bottle and placed it on it.

“Does this really heal wounds?”

“You can try it.”

“…well, excuse me for a moment.”

Jeong Seo-jin rolled up her pants, revealing the knee that had been wounded by rolling earlier.

The wound was completely healed until I opened the lid and poured a little potion.

The man’s astonished expression was worth seeing.

“In addition to this recovery potion, you can also make potions that can recover mana or remove status ailments such as poison and cold.”

“…… Incredible.”

Jeong Seo-jin looked around for potions and put them down on the table. Then she suddenly changed her glasses with a serious expression.

“But are you okay?”
