Episode 256 Side Story-5. Hunter Edition Murim (6)
● ● ●
Slaughter began naturally in ancient times, when humans began hunting wild animals.
But it was never easy.
From peeling off skins to be recycled into clothing, to identifying and classifying edible and inedible parts, to separating usable bones so as not to damage them.
It was all professional and difficult work.
What is the point of slaughtering monsters that are neither livestock nor wild animals? It was a much more difficult task to the extent that comparison is meaningless.
Naturally, it was impossible to slaughter the monsters at first.
Not only was it a species that did not exist in the previous era, but basically all monsters, small or large, were poisonous. However, as the years passed and data on monsters piled up one by one, it became possible to slaughter quite a lot of monsters.
Although many types of monsters were still inedible or could not be slaughtered, the data was accumulated to the extent that an estimate was made immediately after the E-class monsters were already caught, and they were processed immediately.
Some have even been studied to the extent that they can be farmed, just like cows, chickens and pigs.
however.
Still, it was extremely difficult to hunt monsters without hurting them.
It was a very difficult task to remove the hearts that would be reborn with the monster skins and spirit stones of the monsters they had hunted without damaging them, and to cut the meat into parts that would be sold at high prices to gourmets.
Is that all?
The work methods for each type of monster, such as fish type, bird type, bipedal type, tripod type, quadruped type, multipod type, and quasi-human type, were also very different, so all the processes necessary for slaughter were profound and professional.
“So, Majang-dong Majeongseok Night Market was created here. It was originally a livestock market, so it was useful for treating all the processes in a primitive way. As a result, it was easily converted into a monster meat market, and it developed further to become the current monster by-products general market… … Hey, are you listening to me? I’ve been begging you to explain it, so I’m talking sorely at best!”
So So-hee, who continued to explain what kind of place Majeong-seok Night Market is in Majang-dong, narrowed her brows and looked at the seat next to her.
“I am listening. From now on, please summarize in one line. It’s not an explanation bug, what’s so pointless? You’ll know everything when you see it.”
Dan Yoo-seong, sitting in the back seat of the taxi, looked carefully at the busy scene outside the car window and answered.
On one side of the street, a large-scale auction was taking place with monsters hanging, and on the other side, the work of dismantling the butchered monster by-products was taking place in detail.
On the other hand, did you say a cart with wheels, or a cart in the expression here? Anyway, the monster’s meat and hearts were flying here and there.
“Looks like everything is here.”
From Dan Yoo-seong’s point of view, it was definitely a unique appearance, but except for being a little more shiny, it was basically the same atmosphere as the market in Jungwon.
At a glance, a scene that matched So-hee’s description was passing by.
“Already?”
So So-hee asked a question about Dan Yoo-seong, but the answer came from the front driver’s seat.
“Yes, guest. This is Majang-dong Majeongseok Night Market.”
Looking through the side mirror, the taxi driver smiled and said to So So-hee in the back seat.
“If you go into the alley you see in front of you, it’s the D slaughter center. If you go over there, on the other side of the road, you will find a monster farm where Minotaur, Chicken Alpha, and Baconster are being farmed in Area B.”
“Do you trade magic stones in Area A?”
“Yes, that’s right – the end is Area C, and you have to pass there to reach Area A where the magic stone street is located. Oops, area C is a monster meat town. There is also a restaurant in Monster Meat Town, so if you buy meat and take it with you, you can taste fresh monster meat right away.”
Beep-.
Looking toward Area C, So So-hee swiped her card on the fare payment terminal and got off.
The knight greeted her with a bright smile.
“It seems that the two of you get along really well. haha.”
“Not a couple!”
“Or no, why are you screaming, sir?”
“What’s wrong!”
The taxi driver hurriedly drove off, avoiding So-hee’s razor-sharp eyes.
Yuseong Dan smiled as he watched the taxi drive away.
“Wensu was too much. Wouldn’t you rather say a 7 billion slave?”
“Tch, that’s it. It’s easy to die from stress if you leave a slave like you.”
Heh, Dan Yoo-seong, who lightly blew his nose, turned his gaze and headed toward the night market.
The night market in Majang-dong is bustling with nightlife.
Perhaps because it was a night market, it was crowded with people who wanted to buy or sell monster corpses and magic stones. Most of them were agents specialized in handling by-products of the guild, and they acted as proxy sales agents for by-products such as carcasses, meat, and hearts of monsters hunted by hunters.
In the case of Dan Yoo-seong and So So-hee, hunters who did not belong to a guild sometimes sold stalls on the street.
“Should we sell it like that?”
“no. Yours are quite expensive, so it’s much better to bargain directly at the magic stone shop.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Dan Yoo-seong nodded and looked at So-hee.
“Before selling… … .”
“why? What else is more important left?”
“Let’s just drink a can of Coke and go. Not as much as the lake.”
“eww… … Coke Ghost.”
“I’d rather be a 7 billion slave.”
“… … .”
Shortly thereafter, Dan Yoo-seong and So-hee So-hee, clutching 1.5-liter coke bottles in both hands, entered Area C.
As the taxi driver told us, area C was a monster meat town, but it was exceptionally more crowded. It seemed that a lot of couples who went on a date at night came for a late-night snack. But for now, Area C is out of their interest. Because I wasn’t here to eat.
The two passed the crowd of people who came in pairs and entered Area A, Magic Stone Street.
Both sides of the street were lined with stalls selling hearts many times larger than a human’s in glass coffins.
It was the heart of various monsters.
Hunters to buy the heart were bargaining loudly. Other than that, places like the Hunter General Store, which handles potions used by hunters and various miscellaneous goods, were also noticed.
With so many stores, there was no way to know which one was good, but So So-hee pointed to one.
“excuse me.”
A 15-story high-rise building made of glass.
Even in the magic stone street, it was the most popular magic stone shop.

The sign at the entrance read:
Soulstone bestseller.
“That’s the world’s largest monster by-product handling brand.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Are you sure So So-hee is right?
Not only people who simply bought magic stones, but also many hunters and agents who bargained directly.
But that didn’t guarantee that it would pay the best price here.
So Dan Yuseong immediately expanded the Hyegwang synesthesia to all directions.
A rainbow-colored world that quickly overflows in the field of view of Dan Meteor.
In particular, inside the building of <Soul Stone Bestseller>, the dark red color saturated with greed and the purple color being prepared for fraud overflowed.
Maybe it’s because it’s glass, so the swindler’s temperament jumps out more.
‘Well, is it natural?’
Just as openness exists in all dimensions, commercial marriages must be similar everywhere.
“Then shall we go?”
Dan Yoo-seong put the empty plastic bottle in the trash and moved on.
So So-hee naturally followed Dan Yoo-seong.
however… … .
“uh… … ? Where are you going?”
<Soul Stone Bestseller> So So-hee hesitated as she saw Dan Yoo-seong passing by without even looking at it.
“I can see a much better place after that. go over there.”
So So-hee saw that the place Dan Yoo-seong was pointing at was the alley at the very edge of the corner of Magic Stone Street.
“… … Do you know where it is and go?”
“uh.”
When we go home… … It was like that last time, but it’s like that again, man.
“Isn’t this your first time here?”
“uh.”
done… … let’s not talk
If I knew there weren’t any good shops over there, I’d come back here.
… … I followed Danyuseong.
Alleys were not just alleys.
“… … hey. This is just a wall, right?”
“Oh, that’s why I asked you to come here. Isn’t the wall deceptive?”
“… … under. Look at this. Mr. Dan Yooseong Do you go back when you say nice things? If you go to <Soul Stone Bestseller>, I’ll buy you another Coke. Stop fumbling along the dull wall like a pervert… … .”
Clink-.
I don’t know if it’s a window or a mirror, with the sound of breaking,
“uh!?”
So So-hee’s lips, which had been pouting awkwardly, stopped.
It was because Dan Yoo-seong, who had been fiddling with the wall at the end of the alley, had disappeared. Just as suddenly as water seeps into cotton, it seeps into the wall… … .
‘what?’
So So-hee, who was surprised, immediately touched the spot where Dan Yoo-seong had been fiddling with, at that moment.
Suwook-.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Is this what it feels like to dive from a cliff in Cheongil?
The feeling of falling like a lightning bolt dominated my whole body.
So So-hee closes her eyes.
But that feeling was over in an instant.
Soon, a new world was unfolding in front of So So-hee, who carefully opened her eyes.
“Here… … ?”
The noise of the tumultuous market was nowhere to be found, and the open world that greeted her.
Is that all?
In the deep blue sky, the refreshing breeze and air were warm and tickling, and the warm sunlight was shining down.
‘It was obviously night outside and it was a dull alley… … .’
There was an arched bridge in front,
There was an indigo-colored pond below it, and Nishikigoi the size of a forearm were swimming leisurely in it, creating an even more mysterious atmosphere.
And across the bridge, there was a garden worth tens of thousands of pyeong, and in the middle of the garden, I could see a palace-like house with nicely tiled roofs.
So So-hee unknowingly asked the man who stood on the bridge first, Dan Yoo-seong.
“What… … Where is it?”
Dan Yuseong grinned as he stared at the signboard pasted over the palace in the distance.
“I don’t know. What is certain is-”
So So-hee’s gaze moves right there.
<9 and 3/4 Premier League>
“That we came to the right place.”
