How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 26
Chapter 5. Green Forest Road Alliance (5)
Mine learns magic in an unusual, unconventional way.
They dig their fingers into the skulls of corpses in graves and suck out their yin energy, or they drink the blood of boys and girls before they reach puberty.
The extent of the murder is often just a basic premise.
But the effect is certain.
Even if it was a third-rate martial art that could be sold on the street, such as Samjae Simbeop and Samjae Geombeop, if it was contaminated with demonic energy, it would become incredibly powerful.
But it leaves a big mark.
It is cruel as it is, but when training in magic, you cannot help but release thick magic energy.
“I was wondering if it was true, but it seems to be true.”
Samarin said that, half of the time he didn’t know why he had followed her.
Samarin, who had been briefly opening his senses to gauge his magic, nodded.
“It’s lethargic and smells like blood, but judging from the smell of blood, it hasn’t been that long. Judging from the direction, it looks like it happened on the way to Nokrim Road.”
“One person was killed to learn magic, and the other was just killed.”
“The magic is quite deep. There must be more than a hundred dead. Is the weapon a claw? It’s a special weapon, so it should be easy to find.”
“The magic you are learning may be handmade.”
The later index members, who had been acting like they were half-touring, immediately started talking to each other when they came across the corpse and began to flesh out the story.
Jegal Hyunmong looked at them with their expressions not changing even in front of the corpses and inwardly clicked his tongue.
‘A martial artist is a martial artist.’
There was something that happened the other day, and I was okay with seeing dead bodies, but I didn’t have the confidence to be that calm.
Then, suddenly, Jegal Hyunmong turned his gaze to one side.
There were signs of some people coming towards this place.
“think!”
“This damn guy showed up again!?”
It was the voice of a man who was very angry.
Zhuge Xuanmong could easily guess their identities.
‘Are they bandits?’
Apparently, those who arrived here first and witnessed the tragedy were not the first.
“Hmm. How about we get out of here?”
“Why? It’s okay if we’re here. They’re probably bandits who came to seek refuge in the Nokrim Road Alliance.”
Not only Jo Gwol, but also the other late indices seemed to think it was nothing special. However, soon their expressions changed a little.
“Over here! There are people here!”
“Hmm. It’s a bit late to avoid it now, isn’t it?”
“It was wrong anyway. We were surrounded.”
“What? When did this happen?”
Dang Hwa-ryeong said in confusion. How can you not know that there are so many first-class masters around until the bandits surround them like this?
Jegal Hyunmong opened his mouth calmly.
“It must have spread widely here a long time ago.”
“They must have surrounded this place from far away.”
“They must have spread the net so wide and tightened around it that they couldn’t help but not know.”
At the same time, as the words overlapped, Samarin frowned.
You might think it would be convenient to have three people who think the same way, but that wasn’t the case with Samarin.
Doesn’t it mean that there is no room for oneself to be noticed?
“Anyway, it seems like we don’t have time to talk leisurely.”
As soon as Samarin finished speaking, a series of men appeared with fierce expressions.
Clothes made of various leathers, from frizzy hair to bald head.
Literally the kind of people who hang out with wild people. They were already surrounding me.
“What are you guys doing here… … Ah, no.”
Among the bandits who had been spitting out words, the one at the forefront looked at the later indexes and opened his eyes wide.
“Whoa, the review index! It’s the review index!”
“You speak as if some kind of monster has appeared.”
As Dang Hwa-ryeong spoke, his momentum dissipated.
The same was true for other indicators. The water level was dropping, but with a group of bandits surrounding them, it was impossible to just sit still.
“Wait a minute. What are you doing here?”
Jo Gwol and Hang Gon came out and distorted the impression.
“These people are now guests at the Nokrim Road Alliance. How dare you spread your life among the guests!”
“Huh, but they could be the culprits! Even if that’s not the case, those kind of reviewers kill bandits when they’re bored, saying things like they’re working together or something. How is that any different from that murderer?”
Jegal Hyunmong was dumbfounded by the bandits’ absurd logic.
How is an act of cooperation to punish a bandit who has committed an evil deed the same as a murderer whose purpose is murder itself?
The later indices also laughed at the absurdity.
But no one refuted it.
It’s not that there’s no room for refutation, but it’s because I thought it would be useless to try.
“Are bandits bandits? Reeducation? That sounds like a dream.”
Jegal Hyunmong let out a long sigh at the words that Peng-ak spat out as if chewing.
Something heavy and damp air was pressing down on this room.
‘It feels strangely damp and dark… … Huh?’
Jegal Hyunmong noticed something.
The air around here was really strangely thick and heavy.

An energy so deep in the mountains that it’s hard to believe it exists. And a subtle sensation that confuses the senses.
‘Magic?’
Although it was his first time feeling this energy, Jegal Hyunmong was certain that it was magic.
The magic was floating very faintly in the air, and it seemed to subtly stimulate people, making them react more sensitively.
‘But they can’t come near me. Oh, I see.’
There was something to ponder.
Jegal Hyunmong took a step forward.
Jeokbuk-
“uh?”
“Brother? If you suddenly step forward… … ”
When Jegal Hyunmong moved in a critical situation, everyone’s eyes naturally gathered.
Jegal Hyunmong stood in the center of the magic without paying any attention and took out the box containing the Qingling Pill.
“that…….”
Samarin looked at the box and opened his eyes wide.
Why is Jegal Hyunmong holding the Qinglingwan that was given to Jegal Jun?
‘It may consume some of the medicinal properties, but it can’t be helped.’
Magi could not invade Zhuge Xuanmong.
This was because the energy of the Cheongnyeonghwan was mixed with the energy of the incense burner and surrounded Jegal Hyeonmong.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to use this energy to drive out the surrounding magic?
Jegal Hyunmong tapped the box with his magic wand.
The magical power contained in the magic wand stimulated the energy surrounding Cheongryongwan.
Phew!
As if a wave was crashing, a refreshing air swept through the surroundings.
at the same time.
The magic that had been lying down was pushed away by the fresh air.
“… … !”
As the magic energy dispersed and disappeared, some people with sensitive senses noticed it and looked at Zhuge Xuanmong in surprise.
‘Casting out magic?’
Among the martial arts of Jeongjong, it is impossible to imitate it unless one has mastered the martial arts that are especially effective in Pasa Hyeonjeong, but now Jegal Hyeonmong has done it.
There.
“Everyone, please calm down.”
There was a mysterious resonance in Jegal Hyunmong’s words, so even the bandits who were very excited looked at Jegal Hyunmong as if they were possessed.
“you are?”
“My name is Jegal Hyunmong… … .”
“Zhuge Wuhou! He is said to be the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!”
“Are you talking about the eldest son of the owner?”
Jegal Hyunmong’s expression hardened.
I’ve heard that expression so many times that it’s become dull to my ears.
‘I don’t want to hear Jang Ja-bang’s voice anymore.’
But regardless, the bandits continued the story as they pleased.
“The Lord Muhujaerim leads the later incumbents to catch that guy!”
“Heaven has not abandoned us!”
“The second coming of the Wuhou! The second coming of the Wuhou! Zhuge Xuanmong! Zhuge Xuanmong! Long live the Nokrim Road Alliance!”
Jegal Hyunmong’s face turned red.
At this moment, there was only one thing that Jegal Hyunmong wished for.
‘If there were seven rings.’
If he had reached the level of Lowron, he would have immediately hurled a fireball and silenced them all.
“Come on, let’s go live instead.”
Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang in Jegal Hyunmong’s ears as he listened to the bandits’ words.
-We said we’d go later.
It was Samarin’s telegram.
Thinking that his ears were slightly itchy, Jegal Hyunmong sent the Tyler bandits to the Nokrim Road Alliance and let out a long sigh.
“Hoooo.”
“Thank you for your hard work, brother.”
“Well, I don’t like the way that guy treats the later index.”
Dang Hwa-ryeong grumbled a little.
But perhaps because he was out of that situation, he didn’t say anything more.
Even though they were all experts, there was no guarantee that they would be able to escape safely if that many bandits attacked them all at once.
“By the way, why does Prince Zhuge Jun have the Qingling Pill that he gave him? And what on earth was that mysterious spell you used just now?”
At Samarin’s remark, the later indices’ gaze turned to Zhuge Xuanmong.
As with previous incidents, if you look at those mysterious abilities, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Zhuge Xuanmong looked at Zhuge Jun.
And Zhuge Jun nodded.
“It’s a family secret, so it’s difficult for me to tell you.”
“A family secret? But Confucius… … .”
“Yes. I don’t have any particular relationship with the Zhuge family now, but my ancestors’ ancestors once belonged to the Zhuge family. As their descendant, I inherited many of their skills.”
“It’s true.”
This part was something that had been agreed upon in advance.
It was easy to perceive Jegal Hyunmong’s magic as sorcery.
In martial arts, dealing with sorcery is not a very positive thing.
Because it was an issue that could easily lead to a group being formed to punish those who were being rude.
But if the Zhuge family had guaranteed it, things would have been a little better.
“Then you’re saying that it’s not the vision of the Zhuge family right now?”
“… … .”
Samarin nodded and said.
“One thing, won’t you make a bet?”
“Are you talking about a bet?”
“Yes. Let’s bet. Who will find the mine first?”
Zhuge Xuanmong tilted his head at Samarin’s words.
Although Jegal Hyunmong didn’t have much to do with the world of martial arts, he knew how dangerous Mine was.
He is definitely not someone you can lightly bet on.
But Samarin seemed to think a little differently.
“If you look at the traces, Mine is one person. On the other hand, don’t you think there are quite a few people who can share the ball?”
The later index members nodded their heads in agreement.
Everyone here was a descendant of a prestigious family, and there was no one who wasn’t a first-class master. Even if they were a mine, I was confident that I could handle it.
‘Besides, if he’s a guy who goes around hunting bandits and such, he’s bound to be nothing special.’
“Of course, I have no intention of acting rashly. If Mine is more powerful than I thought, I have no intention of chasing him too hard. Besides.”
“You’re saying that since we don’t know where Mine is, it would be better to spread out and search?”
“… … Yes, that’s right. And actually, I have a bad relationship with the Ironworks, so I don’t really want to meet them face to face.”
‘Then you wouldn’t have come looking for me.’
Jegal Hyunmong thought so, but nodded.
“Okay. Then what will you pay in return?”
“Isn’t it to improve the reputation of the Green Forest Alliance that Confucius invited us here? If Confucius wins, the Sima Family will forget the favor they owed to the Iron Flower Association.”
“… … !”
It’s a bigger proposal than you might think.
No matter how far away it is geographically, if the great power of Sima Sega decides to use force, it can project its influence through the Murim Alliance, so even more so.
Zhuge Jun frowned.
A high stakes reward isn’t necessarily a good thing, because you can get more in return.
‘Besides, if you’re going to make a suggestion like that, you must have some confidence in it.’
You probably already have some clues on how to win the bet.
“What happens if Sima Xiao wins?”
“Well, then how about Zhuge Liang letting go of the Green Forest Alliance and revealing the secrets of magic? I’m particularly curious about what kind of magic tricks our family’s Qinglingwan can perform.”
Samarin’s suggestion is no different from revealing one’s martial arts skills to a martial artist.
But Jegal Hyunmong nodded his head calmly.
“Okay, I’ll accept that offer.”
“… … Good. It’s cooler than I thought.”
Samarin smiled brightly.
‘I won this match.’
Not only did he know the geography of the area, he also had subordinates who were skilled in the art of following.
Since Seo Ryeon-hwa has already caught the traces and is tracing them, it is as if they are already far ahead.
While Samarin was thinking like that, Zhuge Xuanmong asked Zhao Guol a question.
“Your Majesty, is there a valley near here? It has an eerie atmosphere.”
“Yes. It’s a place called Gwihyeolgok (Ghost Hole Valley)… … .”
“It’s there. Let’s go.”
“… … ?!”
Everyone doubted their ears at Zhuge Xuanmong’s words.
