How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 23
Chapter 6. Green Forest Road Alliance (2)
Actually, it was a story that was bound to come up.
I expected that there would be some talk about the Nokrim Road Alliance in some way.
I didn’t know it would come out at this last minute.
“Why? The reputation of the Ironworks is not good, but they are not as evil as rumored.”
“I know that too. But, I owe you something.”
As he spoke, Zhuge Jun looked at the Qingling Pill he had just handed over.
“This Cheongryongwan is an item made by Sima Sega. It is the item that Sima Sojeo, who attended this gathering, put up as a prize for a bet. In fact, it was through Sima Sojeo that I learned about your brother’s story this time.”
“It must have been to incite conflict.”
“… … Yes.”
Zhuge Jun nodded and continued speaking.
“No matter how much Sima Sega was the first to make a fuss, it is true that he lost face due to the recent incident. I don’t think he will just sit back and do nothing for a long time.”
“hmm.”
That makes sense.
But it’s not something you can do or lose that easily.
On the surface, the Green Forest Road Alliance may seem like a pretty decent organization, but in reality, it’s a haphazardly put-together group.
Although they have joined forces for their own benefit and interests.
If it weren’t for Zhuge Xuanmong, there were several instances where conflicts almost occurred.
In that situation, for Jegal Hyunmong to withdraw would be the same as wishing for the entire area to be turned into a wasteland.
And now, Cheolhwabang is uniting the bandits by force.
The power of Margin Light was great there.
The problem is that force alone cannot keep the bandits subdued.
There is internal unrest and external dangers, so it would not be strange for the Nokrim Road Alliance to collapse at any time.
“Thank you for letting me know. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Jegal Xuanmong had no choice but to say that.
This isn’t a problem that can be solved by thinking of a solution on the spot.
‘Unless there is a way to exquisitely change the mind of Samasega… … .’
“If you don’t mind, can I help you with something?”
“help?”
“Yes. This time, I will visit the Nokrim Road Alliance with my friends. In fact, many of my friends think that Cheolhwabang is a real bandit. If you visit in person and clear up any misunderstandings, it will be of some help.”
“Isn’t that… … too burdensome?”
Well, isn’t it the same as staking your reputation and guaranteeing that the Nokrim Road Alliance is harmless?
“Haha, I’m saying this because I want you to feel the burden. Then, wouldn’t it be possible to bring you into the family?”
When Zhuge Jun laughed and admitted it coolly, Zhuge Xuanmong also let out a snicker.
So, Jegal Jun left, saying that he would adjust his schedule and visit later.
Jegal Hyunmong let out a long sigh.
‘Somehow it turned out well.’
It was clearly something I had intended to do quietly, but things turned out to be more complicated than I expected.
But in the end, it was a success.
I was able to learn about the efficacy of incense burners and also gain good connections.
and.
“hmm.”
Jegal Hyunmong looked at the Qinglingwan that Jegal Jun had just given him as a gift.
There’s something that’s been bothering me for a while now.
This was because the magical power was being sucked into the Cheongryongwan, just like dry paper absorbs water.
‘It’s strange that the magic power isn’t flowing, but rather being sucked in.’
I wasn’t able to look into it in depth because of Zhuge Jun, but since things ended well, I had time to look into it.
Click.
Perhaps because it was a Samasega product with a medicinal nature, a gentle and pleasant scent spread out as soon as I opened the lid. It seemed like an unknown refreshing energy had been added to the original medicinal scent.
‘But the condition is a little strange.’
It was made in the shape of a ring, so it was difficult to know what the raw materials were or how it was made, but it felt like something was missing.
Jegal Hyunmong, who was looking around with the Cheongnyeongwan in his hand for a moment, suddenly had magical powers appear in his eyes.
It wasn’t some great magic or anything, but it just allowed me to better understand the flow of magic.
And when I did that, I could definitely see it.
‘I purified it wrong.’
Although the material’s medicinal properties were maximized, the problem was that the original energy of the material was not in proper harmony.
‘If we’re talking about food, I guess you could say it’s undercooked. That’s a bit ambiguous.’
Additional ingredients were needed to achieve complete harmony.
However, it seemed that I could make some progress by using the magic power of the incense burner that I had.
Jegal Hyunmong, holding a magic wand, easily controlled the seeds of magical power.
The work of arranging sand-like magical power one by one with countless chopsticks and instilling will into them.
Woof-
Soon, a faint magical light filled the Cheongryongwan.
Jegal Hyunmong, who had been assessing the magic light for a moment, scratched his head with his magic wand.
‘Should I keep going to the pharmacy for the time being?’
I have a rough idea of how I should work, but since I don’t have the knowledge of the materials I need, some trial and error is necessary.
But I felt like it was worth it.

‘Well, it’s not like there’s no income at all.’
Jegal Hyeonmong decided to just brush this situation aside.
* * *
The next day.
Jegal Hyunmong opened his eyes.
And I thought.
‘Well, I want to hit it.’
It was the end of a long vacation.
It was strange. I didn’t do anything special, but the vacation went by so quickly.
Strangely, I felt a bit sluggish, lethargic, and had a cough and cold, so I even had a thought that if I did well, the government might be generous enough to give me an extra day of vacation.
‘That can’t be true.’
Zhuge Xuanmong took a deep breath, got up, adjusted his clothes, and headed to Pyoguk.
Actually, I should have talked to Pyo Guk-ju too.
At first, Im Chung was a bit lukewarm about the Nokrim Road Alliance.
However, after Im Jun-gyu changed his weapons to a master, his martial arts skills improved greatly, and the growth of the stagnant Pyo-guk accelerated like a tiger growing wings, so his attitude changed.
Originally, the business of Pyoguk did not grow that quickly. That is why we tried to sign contracts with Hwangga Sangdan or Geumga Sangdan in the past.
‘You should also consider taking the review index with you.’
If you take the later index members to the Nokrim Road Alliance without saying a word, even the slightest misunderstanding will lead to a big problem.
Margin Kwang was not the type to shy away from a fight, and the later indexes were always thirsty for ambition.
Moreover, they say that they graduated from Deungcheon-gak not long ago and have only recently started working.
Everyone is hungry for results.
Perhaps, to the later indexes, the Nokrim Road Alliance may seem like a tasty prey.
The more careful you are, the better, as there is a high possibility that it will lead to a collision.
It was while I was thinking like that that I arrived near Daeryongpyo-guk.
I felt like someone was watching me.
‘what?’
It was a feeling that came after learning magic.
If the feeling of being in a state of alertness is when a person’s original senses become extremely sharp.
The feeling I have now is like looking into the future an inch ahead.
Anyway, it felt like something was coming towards him, so Jegal Hyunmong naturally grabbed his magic wand.
‘How did this kind of response become natural?’
“Teacher! You’re finally here!”
“hmm?”
Jegal Hyunmong confirmed the appearance of the two people before his eyes and then quietly put down his magic wand.
“Aren’t you Jo-Gwol and Hang-Gon? What’s the matter? This is so urgent.”
The two men were Jo Gwol, the mustachioed man from Cheolhwabang, and Hangon, the bald man, who had previously tried to kidnap him.
“I have come to seek wisdom because I have some trouble.”
“Is something difficult?”
Jegal Hyunmong tilted his head.
If that’s the case, why didn’t you send a message and come to my house? Why are you waiting at Daeryongpyo-guk?
“Well, that bald guy kept getting lost, so I ended up getting lost too. Strangely, the fog started to roll in, so I just came to Daeryongpyoguk.”
“I told you it wasn’t my fault. It was just a little weird!”
“Shut up, you idiot. Last time, you said there was a wild vegetable on a random mountain, and after reaching the peak, didn’t you say, “Isn’t this the road?”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
“That was your mistake, Hangon.”
“Look.”
Hangon looked extremely aggrieved.
