How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 51
Chapter 13. Sibi (1)
There was no special meaning to performing a ritual.
Well, that was what was promised from the very beginning.
Now, Jegal Hyunmong also wanted to do that.
“By the way, is this it?”
If you think about it, wasn’t it a request worth a whopping two thousand nyang?
But when something like this unexpected happened, I thought the loss might actually be huge.
“Well, it’s okay. Anyway, with this, the estate is now mine.”
“hmm.”
At that sight, Jegal Hyunmong suddenly remembered what Mansu had said as he passed by.
He said that there was someone who was competing with him in Haomen.
“I guess it really was. That competition.”
“That’s right. Just taking over this manor before that guy gets his hands on it is like giving him a big piece of shit. Plus, I got what I really wanted from this manor. Anyway, I wouldn’t mind paying more than two thousand nyang.”
“Then, is it okay if I don’t keep what I’ve gained?”
“… … As expected, you can’t hide it. How much do you think you know?”
“I didn’t really guess. Didn’t you say that your rival is the successor to the Golden Shang family? Then what you can get from that estate would be something that you can get from the Golden Shang family. Maybe something like a divine water?”
At Jegal Hyunmong’s words, Mansu laughed with a smile.
“Well, let’s say you weren’t wrong.”
But Mansu didn’t say anything more than that.
Anything more than that was beyond the scope of what I could ask of Zhuge Xuanmong.
“Anyway, we’ll be here in Yulang County for the time being, doing medical treatment and preparing various things. There may be various tricks coming in during this gap, but we can prepare for that, so don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for the carriages you’ll be returning to.”
“Well, is there no possibility that Mansu’s enemies will attack us?”
“The daughter of the Tang family is coming with you too. I don’t know about other people, but my husband is a thorough guy, so he won’t mess with him rashly.”
At Mansu’s words, Jegal Hyeonmong nodded and parted ways with Mansu.
Tang Hwa-ryeong had already entered the carriage, as if he had just finished talking.
She also had bandages wrapped all over her body, as if she had just met with the congressman. The area where her hand had been hit by the rope in particular looked unwell.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s nothing. If you just get some exercise and let the swelling and inflammation go down, you’ll be back to normal in no time. I think there will be aftereffects for two or three months though.”
She licked her lips and seemed to be missing something more than the injury.
“I thought I was starting to get the hang of it.”
“But didn’t you do it once?”
“Yeah. With this, I can challenge for the next family lineage.”
“Sequence battle… … ?”
“Oh, I don’t know. There’s something called a ranking system in Sacheon-dangga.”
As he said that, Dang Hwa-ryeong waved his hand.
“To put it simply… … Ah! Do you have the thank-you card I gave you last time?”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
It was something I received in return for teaching him magic last time.
“It was silver, right? That’s the level. Even if you have the Tang surname, there’s a set level you can give it to.”
“okay.”
“Anyway, once I’ve mastered everything you taught me, I’ll return to the family and ask my older sister for a ranking match.”
“Are you talking to your sister?”
“Yeah. I’ve always had this back.”
As he spoke, Dang Hwa-ryeong leaned back against the chair.
“I like my sister, and I respect her, but… … I still wanted to win at least once.”
“So, when is that?”
“A month and a half later.”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong was sweating profusely.
A month is almost over.
We don’t know if it will completely heal, and even if it does, we don’t know how much better it will be.
Dang Hwa-ryeong smiled brightly.
“Why, do you feel a sense of responsibility?”
“Hmm.”
“There’s no need for that. It’s not like there’s a series of battles that happen once in a lifetime. This experience was also a good one.”
“I will find a way somehow… … .”
“Well, whatever.”
Dang Hwa-ryeong smiled brightly as he said that.
Rather, Jegal Hyunmong’s mouth became bitter at the sight.
“Huh, is it okay if I take a detour for a bit?”
“Huh? Okay. But where are you going?”
“Since I’m here, I’m planning to stop by Nokrim Road Alliance.”
Come to think of it, I haven’t been to the Nokrim Road Alliance recently.
I stopped by briefly after being released from Galsa-ryang, but I was practically unconscious, so it was as good as not going.
As Dang Hwa-ryeong nodded, the groom outside came in with a look of delight.
“Shall we go to Nokrim Road Alliance?”
“Is that okay? If you’re a little hesitant… … .”

“How could that be possible! It was you, the young master, who asked me to take you there safely. And if it’s the Nokrim Road Alliance, it’s something you can stop by for no reason.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. They built a small city in the mountains. The security is not bad, so it’s surprisingly safe.”
It was just as the coachman said.
Since I was using the Nokrim Road Alliance road anyway, I could easily get to the Nokrim Road Alliance headquarters by just making a small detour.
And Zhuge Xuanmong was able to realize why Zhao Guol and Hang Gon had been so confident before.
“This is… … a whole village.”
Contrary to the impression that it was a rough place where bandits lived together, the area around the mountain village where the headquarters was located was a residential area that smelled like people.
Even the laughter of children could be heard.
“Surprisingly, the reviews aren’t bad. I’m talking about the Nokrim Road Alliance.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. At first, there were some doubts because of the name, but surprisingly, it was controlled. After all, they are bandits, and most of them are from the common people.”
The biggest thing was that we were given an environment where we could make a decent living.
Now that the road has been built and the number of people using it has increased considerably, it is said that the revenue being collected from there is also considerable.
That’s a fairly fair redistribution.
And surprisingly, the bandits’ loyalty to Margin Gwang was not small.
Above all, Ma Jin-kwang naturally gained the popularity of the bandits thanks to the anecdote of immediately beheading Gal Sa-ryang, who was a serial killer of bandits.
“He even got a new nickname, so now he’s called the Green Forest King instead of the Strongest Man.”
While listening to those words, Jegal Hyunmong looked outside.
Although it was a village located in the mountains, there were quite a few buildings and houses that had been built. It must have been meticulously crafted by the ironsmiths.
And in the meantime, the carriage passed through the mountains without difficulty.
If it was natural, then it was natural.
Because the person riding in the carriage was none other than Zhuge Liang.
“Oh, isn’t that Zhuge Xuanmong? It’s been a while. Isn’t it after the last time you blew off that demon’s head? Are you feeling better?”
“… … Yes. By the way, Your Majesty.”
Jegal Hyunmong reacted a little nervously when he saw Ma Jin-gwang come out to greet him after hearing that he had arrived.
The appearance hasn’t changed much.
But what should I say?
“Wow, he really looks like a bandit leader.”
“Miss Tang.”
“Why are you saying such bitter things? You are not a bandit, but the leader of the Nokrim Road Alliance! Do we look like a bunch of bandits and unruly people?”
Dang Hwa-ryeong nodded without hesitation.
Born covered in the skin of some unknown beast, his appearance of never having shaved his body hair was enough to reveal the primal wildness of Majinkwang.
And Jegal Hyeonmong looked at Im Jun-gyu.
“Even the letter of appointment has been dyed.”
“… … After washing up, I came out and all I had to wear was these clothes… … .”
Lim Jun-gyu replied with a look on his face like he had chewed shit.
“Well, anyway, come in! You came so suddenly that I didn’t prepare much.”
It was just as Margin Gwang said.
Although there was a main table, it was mostly vegetables and meat that could be found in the mountains. There was quite a lot of alcohol, though.
“It’s quite simple. I’ve heard that quite a lot of people are using the Nokrim Road Alliance these days.”
“Well, that’s true. The income coming in is not small, but there are also many places to go.”
Margin Kwang laughed bitterly.
“Me too. I hate complicated things, so I tried to stay in the mountains, but I actually have more headaches than when I was in the city. But still. I’m satisfied. I have a fair amount of fighting opportunities.”
The method of collecting the Nokrim Road Alliance was simple.
In most cases, they let you pass if you paid the toll as specified.
Although there were some who opposed it, there were already rumors that there was a Margin Light in the Nokrim Road Alliance who was looking at the end of its climax. If possible, they paid money.
However, there were some who refused to give in until the end, so the Nokrim Road Alliance recently added one more policy.
‘If you challenge the leader Majin Gwang and last for 100 seconds, you will be exempted.’
“Thanks to that, I have a lot to fight about, which is nice.”
As he spoke, Ma Jin-kwang was gulping down the liquor, but he had many secret wounds all over his body.
If you look closely, Lim Jun-gyu was the same.
As if he noticed the gaze, Margin Gwang snickered.
“Well, you don’t have to look at it that way. Since ancient times, unmanned objects are like iron ore. Unless you heat them to the point of melting and hit them to the point of breaking, the impurities won’t disappear. Isn’t that right, disciple?”
“… … Yes, Master.”
Im Jun-gyu said that with an expression that was obviously unpleasant to anyone who saw it. Jegal Hyeon-mong nodded at the sight of the beautiful priest.
‘Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t become a martial artist.’
“By the way, why did you come all the way here? I don’t think you would come here for no reason, and you’re not someone else.”
“Oh, I just came here to ask for a few things.”
At the word request, Margin Gwang’s expression turned unpleasant.
“Are you trying to make something weird again?”
“What a strange thing. They were all meaningful. You did such a great job this time too.”
If the incense burner had not been resurrected due to the parts created by Ma Jin-gwang, the problem of Gui-gok-jang-won would not have been solved even if Jegal Hyun-mong had succeeded in making two rings.
“Things are things, but they’re like this because of you. I worked hard to make them, but this one doesn’t work because of this, and that one doesn’t work because of that. I thought I was going crazy. If you had learned even a little bit of martial arts, I would have really hit you. Don’t do that somewhere else. Get stabbed.”
“hmm.”
I was in a difficult situation.
Judging from Margin Gwang’s expression, it was true.
And unlike in the past, Jegal Hyunmong has mastered the secret law.
‘I shouldn’t reveal that I have learned the Dharma.’
Thinking like that, Jegal Hyunmong calmly opened his mouth.
“What are you talking about? The masters of Tangga-chang are obviously very patient and would not get angry like you, Lord. Isn’t that right, Young Lady Tang?”
“yes?”
Dang Hwa-ryeong nodded and said.
“It’s faster to put a spell on something than to get angry.”
“… … If I take the silver shield, they won’t attack, right?”
“Right. I can do it though.”
“Then, I guess you can tell me what I want to make instead.”
While Dang Hwa-ryeong was speechless, Ma Jin-gwang, who had a headache, asked with one hand on his forehead.
“So, what do you want to make?”
“ah.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded, asked for some writing brush and ink, and then quickly began to draw out the blueprint.
It may look unfamiliar, but the logic behind it is interesting.
At first, even Marjinkwang was just fat, but now he started looking at it with interest.
“Where did you find out this?”
“You figured it out?”
“Then who did you learn it from?”
“No, I just stole it with my eyes.”
Jegal Hyunmong remembered what the people of Cheolhwabang had said before and replied as follows.
At the time I thought it was bullshit, but it was the best excuse I could come up with.
‘You can just look at it and quickly draw up a blueprint like this?’
Ma Jin-kwang looked at Jegal Hyun-mong with strange eyes.
