How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 27
Chapter 6. Mine (1)
“What are you talking about? Out of the blue, that’s… … .”
Zhuge Xuanmong looked at Samarin for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Let’s go since we don’t have much time. If we delay, the person who went first could be in danger.”
“yes?!”
Samarin’s eyes grew so wide that they could no longer be seen.
‘How did you know that I sent my men first? No, more importantly, that my men were in danger? How did you know that?’
Jegal Hyunmong raised his magic wand and scratched his head.
‘How do I decorate this?’
In fact, it was purely by chance that I found out the location.
When I detonated the Cheongryongwan’s aura to calm the bandits, there were some who got swept up in it.
They were none other than tiny creatures like bugs and snakes.
What’s strange is that those creatures were possessed by magic.
And through the eyes and ears of that tiny creature, someone was watching this way.
The moment he realized that, Jegal Hyunmong immediately started backtracking.
I didn’t even know that such a thing existed, or that it was possible.
But somehow it just felt like it could happen, and it actually did.
The result was the Gwihyeolgok.
“Wait a minute, how did you know that?”
Samarin immediately began to have doubts.
It would be stranger if a person who was complaining about having a hard time suddenly looked at the scene and acted as if he understood the whole truth, and he didn’t feel any discomfort.
‘Is it a trap? Could it be that he’s in cahoots with Mine?’
Jegal Hyunmong thought for a moment.
It’s about time the talk about family secrets started losing its luster.
‘I guess it’s okay to loosen up a little bit anyway.’
I think it’s okay to loosen things up a bit since he’s shown a few suspicious behaviors.
“When I just sent out the magic, I noticed that small bugs and animals were possessed by the magic. As I pushed away the magic, I found that there was a certain flow, and when I traced it back, I found that it led to the Gwihyeol Valley.”
“How did you know it was a canyon?”
‘I just did it because it looked like it.’
But if you say that as it is, you will inevitably end up being seen as a strange person.
Jegal Xuanmong, who had been looking at Samarin for a moment, slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
It was a smile that was somehow mysterious.
“Have you forgotten that we’re still in the betting round?”
“… … !”
“Let’s go. If nothing happens when I go, then I will admit defeat.”
The later scholars nodded their heads as if they were possessed by Jegal Hyunmong’s words.
“By the way, you said it was called Gwihyeolgok. What kind of place is it?”
“It’s a place you would never choose as a route.”
Surprisingly, it was Lim Jun-gyu who answered.
As a symbol of Daeryongpyo-guk, he was well-versed in the geography of the area, so it was only natural.
“About twenty years ago? It was an ordinary valley, but at some point, fog began to gather and it became a place where no one could come out. For some reason, it became a dangerous place.”
“hmm.”
When Jegal Xuanmong heard those words, he felt a slight sense of unease.
‘In advance? No, really.’
It happened twenty years ago.
“Did that happen? But why… … .”
“I don’t know. Also, at some point, a sign saying “Gwihyeol Valley” was put up at the entrance to the valley. It said that if you entered, your life or death could not be guaranteed. So people called the person who put up the sign “Gwigokja (鬼谷子).”
“okay.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded and did not ask any more questions.
I felt like my whole body was slowly turning into wet cotton due to fatigue.
There was a moment of inexplicable silence, and then Samarin began to cough.
“Cough, cough.”
“Miss Sima. Are you okay?”
“are you okay.”
Samarin waved his hand.
But his complexion was a little more pale, and his brows were furrowed.
“Let’s take a short rest. We’re starting to get tired. It’s not a good idea to fight Mine in this condition.”
Everyone nodded to the words of the oldest, Peng-ak.
But even though he sat down and began to rest, Samarin’s complexion did not brighten.
At that sight, Zhuge Xuanmong got up from his seat and approached Samarin.
“… … What is it?”
“Please take this.”
What Jegal Xuanmong handed over was the Cheongnyeonghwan.
A refreshing energy flowed out from the box containing the Cheongryong-hwan.
“Why me?”
“Because I’m worried.”
“under!”

Samarin snorted.
‘Are you trying to win my favor with a clumsy trick?’
“Isn’t it bad to have trouble fighting Mine? Since I can’t fight, you have to fight.”
“… … .”
Samarin looked at Zhuge Xuanmong with strange eyes.
Because I never thought that someone would say something like that to me.
“No, you. That’s it.”
“If you’re telling me to fight instead of accepting it, I won’t listen. And since I’m lending it to you, please return it later. I want to study it.”
As he said this, Zhuge Xuanmong forcefully handed over the Qingling Pill, and Samarin, who received it, looked back and forth between the Qingling Pill and Zhuge Xuanmong.
“Okay, wait a minute!”
“I think I need to get some rest now.”
It’s not that I’m not feeling well, but my body feels heavy like water-soaked cotton.
It was already quite difficult to get to the Nokrim Road Alliance, but as soon as we arrived, didn’t we start looking for traces of Mine?
But Samarin did not let Zhuge Xuanmong rest easily.
“Why did you know that we sent the luggage first? And why is the luggage dangerous?”
“Oh, that.”
Come to think of it, I didn’t really give an explanation.
“Of course, your highnesses wouldn’t just move. Didn’t you bring along a subordinate? I thought you would have sent him to the scene in advance.”
“… … !”
“I was sure when Lady Sima proposed the bet. I thought she was certain of something, since she wouldn’t bet unless she had a special plan. I thought that if it was a preemptive strike, it would be enough of a gain.”
“He, he told that story so confidently, without even a single trace of evidence?”
Tang Huarin, who was listening from the side, blurted out in disbelief, but Jegal Hyunmong just shrugged his shoulders.
“So what? If I was wrong, you would have told me, right?”
“… … You, aren’t you a conman?”
Doesn’t that mean that you just made a passing remark and then became convinced because there was no rebuttal?
Samarin made a tired expression.
“Okay, I admit that. Of course, the moment we decided to accompany you, we sent our men first to search for Mines. But how did you know that they were dangerous?”
“Because you probably know that Mine is alone or in a minority.”
“That’s true, isn’t it? Considering the scale of the crimes committed and the inactions committed, the number of mines is by no means large.”
“Yes. But I’m using magic to deal with microscopic creatures. What if there are poisonous insects among those creatures?”
“That’s nonsense!”
Dang Hwa-ryeong said with a frown.
“There was no trace of that at the murder scene just now. If he had been poisoned, I would have been able to see the traces.”
“Are you talking about a corpse torn to pieces?”
“… … .”
“And the internal organs that had accumulated poison are gone, so even if Lady Tang is an expert on poison, I don’t think it will be easy to find out right away without an autopsy.”
“Hmm.”
Tang Hua Ling blushed but could not refute.
It was just as he said.
“As expected! Our Muhu… … Ugh!?”
Jo Gwol stabbed Hang Gon in the side faster than anyone else. Then he lightly gave a gift to Jegal Hyunmong.
Although he didn’t say anything, Jegal Hyunmong was very happy that he had dealt a blow to the later Jishu.
“Then we should hurry. Let’s move slowly. I will carry Master Zhuge Liang from now on.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
It was an even more urgent suggestion since I had left my horse behind for tracking purposes.
And after a while.
Samarin’s expression hardened.
“wait a minute.”
Perhaps because of the Cheongryongwan, Samarin’s cough had subsided compared to before, but as soon as he saw a certain sign, his complexion became worse than when he had been coughing violently just a moment ago.
“Why are you doing this, Miss Sima?”
“… … That person was right.”
The Samasega use various marks that only the Sega people can recognize.
For example, in the mountains, meaning is conveyed by breaking a tree branch in a certain direction.
And now, the sign that Samarin had discovered meant that unexpected danger was imminent.
“Right now! Our men are in danger!”
“Oh! Let’s find another trace!”
The later indices began to hurriedly search for traces.
Looking at that sight, Jegal Hyunmong calmly began to conjure up a magical spell.
I had already created a spell to detect magic on the spot just a moment ago.
It wasn’t exactly created from nothing.
One of the basic techniques Allen learned at the Magic Tower.
‘Detection magic.’
Magic power was capable of detecting even the faintest traces of magic.
And using his detection magic, Zhuge Xuanmong connected that sense to his own vision. Then, the flow of magical energy materialized above Zhuge Xuanmong’s vision.
What appeared to be black smoke was the afterglow of the magic.
It was continuing on one side.
“Over there.”
“what……?”
The later indices, who had been using their tracking skills to find traces, were puzzled by the sudden order.
The palace moved immediately.
For him, who had seen Zhuge Xuanmong’s mysterious tricks several times, it was a waste of time to doubt it.
As the tide followed, the later indices also began to move, and soon they could be seen.
‘cloud?’
For a moment I thought so, but soon realized it wasn’t. What I thought were clouds were actually a swarm of mosquitoes.
Those who saw that sight were silently horrified.
It wasn’t just mosquitoes.
The surrounding area was filled with venomous creatures like small scorpions and snakes.
It seemed that it was not easy to enter the cave, and a woman holding a torch was blocking entry in front of the cave.
-Lianhua! Are you okay?
“Miss!? It’s dangerous. Get back! Each and every one of those mosquitoes is poisonous! Ugh!”
His complexion was not good. Tang Hua Ling looked at his complexion and spoke coldly.
“I’m addicted. I feel like I’ve been bitten a few times already. And.”
The poisonous creatures were emitting acrid smoke as they burned to death while trying to enter despite the flames.
The place where the poison smoke is sucked is none other than inside a cave.
They lit a fire to keep the poisonous creatures from approaching, but it ended up being a bad idea.
‘What should I do?’
Samarin chewed his lips.
Rather than dealing with a large beast, there was no proper means to deal with each of those small bugs.
They could have easily become addicted themselves, and then the situation would have gotten even worse.
‘What should I do… …!’
“Miss Sima.”
At that time, Zhuge Xuanmong called for Sima Lin.
Before he knew it, Jegal Hyunmong had come down from Jo Gwol’s back and was extending his hand.
“Please return the Cheongryongwan I gave you earlier.”
“Why all of a sudden… … .”
“hurry!”
At Zhuge Xuanmong’s scolding, Samarin handed over the Qingling Pill without realizing it.
Zhuge Xuanmong frowned as he accepted it.
‘It’s a shame that the research hasn’t been done yet.’
But now was not the time to worry about such things, as lives were at stake.
He placed the Cheongnyeong-hwan on his index and middle fingers, and placed his thumb on his nail.
He wrapped his magic power around the Cheongryongwan and recalled what he had seen before.
The incident when Dang Hwa-ryeong threw away the silver piece.
That gesture, that trajectory.
I still remember it clearly.
‘Can you do it?’
To be honest, I wasn’t confident. Understanding it with your head and embodying it with your body are two different things.
But there was unfounded confidence.
‘I have a feeling it’ll work out.’
Jegal Xuanmong immediately took out the Qingling Ring.
Fight!
“Wait a minute, you’re… … !”
Dang Hwa-ryeong let out a gasp of shock as he saw the Cheongryong-hwan flying away with the wind chime.
‘It’s my secret technique, right? But I can’t throw it that far without any internal energy, right?’
Contrary to Tang Hwa-ryeong’s expectations, the Cheongryong-hwan flew straight ahead and soon dug into the poisonous creatures.
This was possible because it wasn’t just something that was thrown away, but something that was wrapped around a matan.
And the reason he wore the magic bullet was not simply to throw it far away.
As Cheongryonghwan approached an appropriate distance, Jegal Hyeonmong’s eyes lit up and he activated the spell he had previously engraved on his magic bullet.
‘now!’
As the Cheongryongwan exploded, all the creatures caught in it were blown away at the same time.
