How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 20
Chapter 5. Example of the Three Visits (4)
The green-clad woman was irritated by Jegal Hyunmong’s nonsense.
“Really? It’s just a rumor. Huh, I didn’t come here for the sake of betting. Whatever. If you’re from this town, do you know the way out?”
“Can’t you just go back?”
“That’s why it’s like that. Even if you try to use lightness to get over it, something feels strange.”
“ah.”
Now that I think about it, I hadn’t thought about that case.
If you walk normally, there will be no problem, but if you try to climb over a wall, you may be greatly affected by the formation.
“So, guide me.”
The woman he first met was quite rude, but Zhuge Xuanmong did not resist because she was just an ordinary villager.
Soon, as Jegal Hyunmong took the lead, a path leading out of the village appeared as if it were a lie, and the woman frowned as if she did not like it.
“What is it? Why are you finding your way so quickly? I was lost half a minute ago.”
“The village is a bit complicated.”
“Really? Anyway, thanks.”
The woman said that and started walking away, then suddenly stopped as if she had forgotten.
“This is the price of directions.”
As she spoke, the woman took out a silver coin, broke it in her hand, and threw the small pieces at Jegal Hyunmong.
Jegal Hyunmong stared at the movement without realizing it.
And then a feeling like lightning struck me.
‘I get the gist of it.’
The woman perfectly understood the motion of one hand, and in an instant understood what dynamic that motion imparted to a certain projectile.
It flies quickly in front of your eyes, and then at the end, it slows down by catching the wind with its wide surface and falls down.
Considering that he is from the Sacheondang family, it must be a secret technique to maximize the area of damage when throwing and exploding the poison ring.
‘It seems worth studying.’
I was already a little disappointed that Matan’s power was weak.
Wouldn’t it be more powerful if you applied one of the mixed groups there?
As he was thinking like that, Jegal Hyunmong inadvertently reached out his hand to the expected landing point of the silver piece.
Then, he lightly grabbed the silver piece that had slowed down to a reasonable speed.
“ok?”
The woman in the Tang family doubted her eyes for a moment at the sight.
Even though I said I would reduce the power, I was planning on hitting him in the chest and making him fall, but you caught him before that?
‘Is it a coincidence?’
“Then I hope you don’t get lost next time. Okay.”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
I tried to catch him later, but Jegal Hyunmong had already wandered into the village.
The woman in the Tang family hesitated for a while as she thought about chasing him but then turned around to face the thought of being lost for half an hour.
Meanwhile, Jegal Hyunmong, who felt that the sound had disappeared from inside the palace, breathed a sigh of relief, but soon changed his mind.
His extraordinary mind anticipated something.
‘I said it was a bet.’
Betting is not something you do alone.
This means that more uninvited guests may visit.
Jegal Hyunmong let out a deep sigh.
I had to know what happened.
But I didn’t want to expose myself like that.
Of course, you couldn’t let people wander around in Jin.
What would you say if the Murim Alliance came looking for you due to a strange phenomenon?
‘I never thought that the formation I set up just to defeat some people would cause something like this.’
In fact, it was impossible for Zhuge Xuanmong to predict this because it happened due to the overlapping effects of the incense burners.
‘If someone comes, I have to somehow send them away.’
The later work will be taken care of by tomorrow’s Jegal Hyeonmong.
‘Okay, then how do we send it back?’
After thinking for a while, Jegal Hyunmong came up with a good idea.

Peng-ak felt that his patience was slowly reaching its limit.
‘It’s literally like a maze.’
It’s an ordinary town.
However, because the houses were built so close to each other, there were many alleys, and strangely enough, every time you entered an alley, the road seemed to change, creating a strange phenomenon.
‘This method doesn’t work either.’
After turning around a few times, Peng-ak frowned when he noticed a scratch on the small wall he had carved.
To begin with, Peng-ak wasn’t the type of person to use his head very much.
If this wasn’t an ordinary village, he might have pulled out the long sword on his back and destroyed everything in sight.
The problem was that even if I tried to give up and leave, I was already deep in and couldn’t get out.
And before we knew it, the fog had thickened.
‘Still, surprisingly, I don’t feel bad about it.’
Strangely enough, the air around here was clear and refreshing. It was as if I was in a deep forest.
“Sir, are you lost?”
“Shall we guide you?”

A few children appeared before Peng-ak’s eyes.
They were ordinary kids.
However, when combined with the strange atmosphere, the ordinary children no longer seemed ordinary.
“You guys… … ?”
“I was asked to do a favor. If anyone gets lost in the village, please guide them outside.”
“I’ll show you around? Who are you talking to?”
“What a strange brother.”
“He’s handsome, but he’s a bit of an odd guy.”
“… … .”
Peng-ak frowned.
“Okay, then can you guide me to him? Then I’ll buy him something delicious.”
At Peng-ak’s words, the children suddenly looked at each other and giggled.
“It’s just as I heard!”
“Yeah, that’s true. Everyone I meet says that.”
“What?”
“My brother said that even if you win the bet by using that method, it’s not considered a win.”
“And anyway, we don’t know where that brother is right now.”
“Still, if you really want to meet me, come back tomorrow.”
“I will open the way then, so if I’m lucky, I can meet you then.”
Hearing the children’s innocent speech, Peng-ak felt a chill down his spine without realizing it.
‘It’s as if you’ve seen right through my mind.’
It’s amazing that he felt this way even though he didn’t say it himself, but just relayed the message to the children.
Peng-ak clicked his tongue without realizing it.
‘They say there are many eccentric people in the world of martial arts.’
“Okay. Then I’ll come back tomorrow. Is that okay for us to meet?”
“We don’t know that either.”
“You can come and see tomorrow.”
“……okay.”
Peng-ak nodded and followed the children, feeling half-dazzled.
Jegal Hyunmong sighed softly as he watched Peng-ak leave.
‘How did you solve it so well?’
It was more effective to have the children send them back rather than doing it myself.
Anyway, now that I looked at the formation, there was only one person left wandering aimlessly.
‘I guess I should go.’
The deeper you go into the truth, the more confused you become.
Most people don’t go deep enough to guide their children.
But there was one person who got in quite deeply.
A person wearing a martial arts uniform that resembles a school uniform, and whose face vaguely resembles mine.
I had a feeling somewhere that it was going to happen.
‘I guess he’s from the Jegal family.’
Why are you looking for yourself in the Jegal family?
There were too many points to be touched on for that to be said.
‘Is it really because of that lame nickname? Or is it because I recreated the formation using the book that came out of Jegal Se-ga last time? Or is it because I created the Nokrim Road Alliance?’
… … No matter how much I think about it, it’s just too much!
The quality was worse in that perhaps one of the reasons was not the only one.
Because of this, Jegal Hyunmong couldn’t figure out why the person from Jegal Sega had come to visit him.
‘I guess I have to show myself anyway.’
Anyway, now that he’s this deep in, it’ll be difficult for Zhuge Jun to get out on his own.
Now, this formation was not just a simple formation, but also included the formation construction technique I had learned in my dream.
It is a situation that can never be escaped by simply walking down the street.
Of course, if he were to display his martial arts skills or create chaos around him, he could somehow manage, but he probably wouldn’t do something like that.
Anyway, if he wasn’t going to fight with Zhuge Liang, he had to get them out somehow.
After taking a deep breath, Jegal Hyunmong revealed himself.
The fog was so thick that it never revealed its true form.
“Are you lost?”
Even though Zhuge Jun saw Zhuge Xuanmong, he did not answer right away. Instead, he thought about it for a while and then let out a sigh of resignation.
“I’m embarrassed to say so. Can you tell me the way out?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Jegal Hyunmong turned around without saying a word.
“By the way, there are a lot of outsiders today. Is something going on?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special. There’s a person here who claims to be the reincarnation of Wuhou. I was curious, so I came to meet him. Do you know anything about him?”
“I have heard of such a person. What a madman he is. How dare he call himself Prime Minister.”
“Yes. I thought so at first too.”
‘But did you do it?’
Something is strange about what you’re saying.
“I really think he might be worthy of it.”
“… … .”
Zhuge Xuanmong was embarrassed by Zhuge Jun’s very burdensome comments.
Even though they set up a formation, most of the people who were affected just ignored it as if the village was complicated.
If you are just lost, where is the element that would make Jegal Hyunmong float?
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I guess this is a type of formation that was practiced in our family a long time ago. I happen to know this because I have a hobby of reading old books, but it is said that our ancestors used this formation to protect their family. Even before that, it is said that it was often used for military strategies.”
‘Actual?’
That’s a bit surprising.
Are you saying that it wasn’t a miscellaneous book because it was at a level that didn’t need to be dealt with in the Jegal family?
“That’s why I wanted to meet him even more. So I tried to visit him, but I couldn’t meet him without his permission.”
“What do you want to talk about when you meet?”
“We’ll have to talk about that when we meet tomorrow.”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong stopped walking.
Then he pointed to the next alley.
“As far as I know, you can probably get there by turning right down that alley. It won’t be as foggy tomorrow as it is today, so maybe we’ll see each other if we’re lucky.”
“Thank you. Then I will come and see you formally tomorrow.”
“… … .”
Zhuge Xuanmong looked back at Zhuge Jun.
If you can’t understand even this much, then you really don’t deserve the surname Jegal.
“You knew that.”
“How could I not know? It’s just that the night is getting deeper today, and I have been rude in coming without contacting you, so I will just go back. Isn’t it necessary to pay three visits to see your majesty?”
As he said this, Zhuge Jun took out his winning ticket and turned around to walk away.
As he watched the figure disappear, Jegal Hyunmong let out a long breath and thought.
‘I have to prepare to welcome guests tomorrow.’
