How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 6
Chapter 1. Magic (5)
The love of books of the Zhuge family is immense.
There is even a joke, not really a joke, that even men of letters who normally boast of their politeness will all become gentlemen once they enter the library of the Zhuge family.
Naturally, the Zhuge family also did their best to prevent the outflow of books, and even if someone stole them, they tracked them down and caught them.
This was not an empty promise.
There was an incident in the past where a collateral member was caught stealing a book from the library of the Zhuge family.
“Oh, no, I didn’t get it illegally! I paid the right price for it.”
Seo-chung stuttered.
“The space of the library of the Zhuge family is not infinite. At regular intervals, the books are classified, and those that are considered miscellaneous are thrown out of the library like this.”
“You just paid full price for it… … .”
“I guess the rule is to discard it. Isn’t that a waste?”
Zhuge Xuanmong could understand why Xu Chong was flustered.
So, Seo-chung secretly stole books that were supposed to be discarded and sold them to Mr. Im at a high price.
Seo-chung silently handed the bag to Jegal Hyeon-mong.
“Well, I’ve doubled the promised wages. I hope this doesn’t reach anyone else’s ears.”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong took the bag without saying a word.
In fact, it was none of his business whether Seo Chung stole the book that was supposed to be discarded or not, even though he was not a member of the Zhuge Liang clan.
But that wasn’t the point.
‘This is a book by the Zhuge family.’
Is it really a coincidence that the book that came out of the Jegal family was a book of magic?
Zhuge Xuanmong could not think that way at all.
What that magic book was dealing with was none other than the true food.
Magic is a type of natural power.
And the natural environment can also be utilized in any way you want, depending on how you use it.
The author of the magic book aimed to infuse magical power into each object and change the surrounding environment through that magical power.
‘Mirijin (迷理陣)’
When properly unfolded, it is a true food that gives those inside the illusion of being lost in a misty maze.
Jegal Xuanmong discovered an ant hole in the backyard of the inn and made a tent using tree branches.
The magic and methods I learned in my dreams were different, but the roots were the same, so it wasn’t that difficult to unfold.
Let’s make a siege centered around the ant hole, and you can see the ants returning home struggling as they fall into the siege that Jegal Hyunmong made.
‘Ants use their antennae to sense direction, not their eyes.’
I remember seeing an ant with its antennae cut off wandering around in confusion.
It was the same now. I could see the ants, who had fallen into the trap of premature aging, scattering out of discipline.
‘Is it interfering with cognitive ability itself?’
It is closer to interfering with the cognitive ability itself.
In the case of ants, it’s the antennae.
For humans, it would be sight and touch.
Zhuge Xuanmong was inwardly amazed as he scattered the troops.
Then the wandering ants were seen moving their antennae back to their holes.
This alone proves the utility of pre-emptive strikes.
As he was admiring it, Zhuge Xuanmong suddenly had a thought.
‘But this is a miscellaneous book?’
Jegal Hyunmong could not understand why something like this, which was so easy, simple, and useful that anyone could understand it just by looking at it, was classified as a miscellaneous book.
‘Is it really not worth learning this much?’
A recipe that is so obvious and obvious that it is a given that it should be familiar to others.
It is possible that it was classified as a miscellaneous book among miscellaneous books and discarded because no one was looking for it.
It was the same reason why there could not be a Samjae sword technique in the Janggyeonggak of Shaolin Temple.
Although Jegal Hyunmong had not learned martial arts, he knew that the Samjae Sword Technique was not a third-rate sword technique, but a training sword technique.
If you keep collecting all those things, no matter how big they become, you will never be able to endure them.
‘Jegal Segara. I hope I get a chance to go there sometime.’
Jegal Hyunmong began to take interest in the Jegal family, whom he had previously ignored.

After spending a day in Yulang County, Daeryongpyoguk set off again for Seongdo.
“But what is that guy doing?”
“Well, that’s true.”
Lim Jun-gyu muttered like this while looking at Jegal Hyeonmong.
He was already a strange guy, but he’s gotten even stranger lately.
It feels like your mind is not connected to reality and is constantly wandering.
He sat on the cart, staring blankly at the sky, and then he started shaking the branch he was holding in his hand.
Whenever it was break time, he would get down from the cart and pick up a branch and dig the ground.
It looked like something was being made out of bushes or rocks or something, but it turned out to be just something that had been thrown together.
Lim Jun-gyu loved Daeryongpyo-guk.
But it was so hard to bear that there was such a guy in that Great Dragon Kingdom.
If you’re going to work for the government, you have to do your best. If you send them like that, how is that any different from eating their salary in a day?
thud!
“The wheel is stuck in a hole!”

“The length is not good.”
When I was in Yulang County, it rained heavily and the roads became bad.
At that moment, the carriage that Jegal Xuanmong was riding fell into a hole.
It felt good to see Jegal Hyeonmong getting excited, but apart from that, Im Jun-gyu clicked his tongue.
‘The road back is rough.’
The road was badly damaged, probably because it rained.
Lim Jun-gyu clicked his tongue inwardly. It was not easy to pull a cart out of such muddy ground.
Indeed, all the cartmen clung to each other and pushed, but the cart could not be easily pulled out.
“I guess I need to help.”
Lim Jun-gyu rolled up his sleeves. In times like these, wouldn’t a martial artist who has mastered internal energy be helpful?
It was when Lim Jun-gyu smiled faintly, thinking of making a fuss after helping.
Jegal Hyunmong got down from the cart, scratching his head, and did various things around the cart before speaking to Jangjasu.
“Now give it a push.”
“… … ? No, it doesn’t seem like I did anything?”
I don’t know what you did, but if the cart is pushed that easily, you must have had a hard time…
Ki-ki-ki-ki.
“Huh!?”
After Jegal Hyunmong got out and the cartmen started to exert their strength again, the cart was able to get out of the hole without difficulty.
Everyone looked surprised.
Cheers and applause rang out.
‘No, how?!’
It didn’t seem like anything special had happened, but when the cart suddenly fell down as if by magic, Im Chung, who had been watching the situation, approached on horseback.
“Oh, as expected from our Zhuge Liang! How did he do it?”
“Well, there is a secret recipe that has been passed down through my family for times like this.”
“Is this the secret technique of the Zhuge family?”
“No, that’s not it.”
Jegal Hyunmong, who was too lazy to make excuses, made a vague excuse, but Im Chung was convinced.
“As expected, it’s our Zhuge Liang. He’s very trustworthy!”
“……thank you.”
Despite receiving praise, Jegal Hyunmong bows lightly with a calm expression and climbs back into the carriage.
Lim Jun-gyu’s expression distorted.
‘That’s the compliment I deserved!’
Whether that was true or not, Zhuge Xuanmong didn’t really care.
Now, Jegal Hyunmong’s attention was solely focused on studying magic.
The more I read, the more I felt like I could understand deeper parts, so I couldn’t stop.
So, Jegal Hyunmong changed the formation slightly during every break and observed the effects.
What I’m currently practicing is research on the effective distance and duration of Jinshik.
at that time.
Tingle-
“… … ?”
Something went wrong with the food prepared outside of Bansijin Street.
According to the magic book, it seemed to indicate that something had intruded into the realm.
‘The effective distance is sufficient.’
Even though the movement is slow, it’s a considerable distance and yet it’s sending a signal.
The duration was also satisfactory.
And half an hour later.
Tingle-
“… … .”
The signal has been transmitted again.
It was in a formation set up at a distance of half an hour before the attack, as if it were aimed at.
Jegal Hyeonmong felt a strange feeling.
Jegal Xuanmong, who was sitting still and resting, decided to make some modifications to the recipe he was making.
In addition to simply notifying that something has been intruded, it also provides a bit more detailed information.
And then another half hour passed.
It would have been nice if it had been a coincidence, but the formation set up by Jegal Xuanmong was receiving another response.
Crackling.
Jegal Hyunmong frowned as he deciphered the information contained in the magic.
Two men on horseback were chasing after the Great Dragon.
‘The lengths overlap… … right?’
Zhuge Xuanmong did not think so.
The road from Yulang County to Seongdo is divided into several branches.
It wasn’t a very good sign that he was chasing Daeryongpyo-guk while maintaining a certain distance.
Besides, the paths are really long, and unless you have other intentions, it would be a much better option to just hurry up and join the Dragon Pyo Kingdom.
‘But who the hell is it?’
Then a voice was heard from the front.
“Stop! Stop! The road is blocked! The tree is blocking the road!”
“Hey, again? Is there a landslide or something?”
The grumbling voices of the farmers could be heard.
Thinking about it, Jegal Hyeonmong suddenly remembered that there had been many obstacles on his way home.
Even though it rained a lot, it was rare for the road to be this messy.
The moment I began to wonder about that, something flashed.
This return trip was rough and there were many stops for various reasons.
Despite this, the gap between the two is maintained.
It was clearly a move with some intention.
‘Two thieves.’
The top shareholder of the Yangga Sangdan said.
It is said that the bandits who were originally one group have reunited after the collapse of the merchant group and are causing chaos in the surrounding area.
Of course, everyone passing by here will be aware of this.
Of course, even if they are thieves, they are not a target that can be easily targeted. Since they are basically an armed group, no matter how careful you are, damage is bound to occur.
Daeryongpyoguk also knows this fact, so he sets out on his journey a bit more boldly.
‘But what if the two groups joined forces?’
Although he skipped over the process here and there, Jegal Hyunmong intuitively felt that his prediction was correct.
What the thieves are after this time is none other than this Daeryongpyo country.
Jegal Hyunmong got up from his seat.
“Your Majesty.”
“Huh? Isn’t that Zhuge Liang? What’s going on?”
As Jegal Hyeonmong approached, Im Chung, who was discussing what to do around the tree blocking the road, made a puzzled expression.
Not only that, but the people around him were also confused.
‘What happened to the guy who was wandering around in the cart?’
It was a bonus that Im Jun-gyu made a displeased expression when he saw him having an intimate conversation with his father, but Jegal Hyun-mong didn’t care.
Jegal Hyunmong lightly clasped his hands together and opened his mouth.
With a calm and composed attitude, as if he knew everything.
“The bandits will come after us, so we need to be prepared.”
He said it with confidence.
