How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 82
Chapter 18. Recruitment (2)
“That seems suspicious.”
“I think so too. It’s probably a trap.”
Mansu looked somewhat happy as he spoke like that.
‘By the way, I just heard that your competitor is looking for a comment.’
I was fixated on something that seemed suspicious and unlikely to anyone.
In other words, it means that we are so driven that we have no choice but to do something.
“Is there really no chance of finding it?”
“Well, I think it’s low. There’s no guarantee that Jang Bo-do is real, and even if it is, it’s not easy to get hold of. Anyway, I have Jang Bo-do too. Are you interested?”
“no.”
Jegal Hyunmong shook his head firmly.
To be honest, it’s true that I need money.
Not just because of debt, but because studying magic inevitably requires money.
But, interpreting the Jangbo-do and going out to find it was like throwing one’s body into a fire because it was cold.
Then suddenly I felt uneasy.
‘I don’t think we’ll get involved.’
At this time, Jegal Hyunmong wasn’t really interested in Cheon Gija or anything like that.
But somehow, I had a feeling like something was going to happen.
I have a feeling I might get caught up in it.
‘That was back then.’
Zhuge Xuanmong, who had made a decision, yawned heavily.
After suffering through various troubles at Sacheondangga, he escaped as if he had been kidnapped by Dang Hwa-ryeong in the middle of the night.
It’s natural to feel sleepy.
Jegal Hyunmong’s eyes began to blink and close.

“Are you leaving again?”
“So that’s what happened.”
‘Are you going again? You must have had a hard time.’
Jegal Hyunmong whetted his appetite.
Allen’s world was not peaceful.
“The demons have appeared again and are acting up. I should go and lend them some strength.”
Demon.
A being that appears by digging a hole in another world.
They were said to possess great power, evil wisdom, and wield powers outside of the law.
‘They’re just like mines.’
To stop such people, the power of a great wizard like Rowlon was essential.
“Master, I would like to go with you too.”
Allen wanted to be with that kind of Rowlon.
“Your intentions are good, but it is still too early.”
“but…….”
“Then let’s do this. If you reach the 4th circle, no, the 3rd circle, I will allow you to accompany me. Until then, study and master magic diligently.”
Allen nodded at Rowlon’s insistence, and only then did Rowlon, satisfied, smile broadly and wave his hand to split the space.
On the other side of the space, there was a completely different place.
‘If magic reaches a certain level, can it affect space?’
Isn’t that pretty useful?
I always wanted to try something like that someday.
Time continued to pass.
Allen eagerly took many classes to live up to Rowlon’s expectations.
“Today we will study about warlocks. Does anyone know anything about warlocks?”
“I am a wizard who made a contract with the Demon Tribe.”
The professor nodded.
“Yes. And unfortunately, they are not rare beings. We magicians are those who seek and pursue knowledge and power. As such, the offer of a demon that easily grants what we want is too sweet to refuse.”
The demons are beings from another dimension.
Except for some powerful beings, they could not easily manifest in the material world.
However, it was not impossible to influence the material world.
Because they corrupted people through contracts.
“Why? The contracts of the Demon Tribe are said to be extremely evil, and they can force the contract holder to do things that are out of the ordinary.”
“It’s simple. It’s so tempting.”
Magic is omnipotent.
But no one who uses that magic can ever be omnipotent.
“People have many weaknesses. Some people may be born with low magical power, some may not have good sensitivity, and some may be clumsy at making spells. It takes a lot of time and effort to overcome such weaknesses. The Demons suggest that they can compensate for these weaknesses. It’s a very tempting suggestion.”
The students listening to the professor looked embarrassed.
“Professor, isn’t that statement a little dangerous? Some people might be offended… … .”
“Yes, that’s right. But it’s a problem that’s useless if you hide it. But the reason I’m telling you this is simple.”
The professor said with a smile.
“I want to let you know that anyone who makes a contract with the Demons, for whatever reason or for whatever price, will be tracked down and killed to the end.”
“… … .”

As the person with all sorts of scars on his face, including cuts and burns, spoke in a gentle tone, the air in the classroom became heavy in an instant.
“Okay, then let’s get to class. Today’s class is an introduction to how to find and deal with demons or black magicians who have made a contract with demons… … .”

‘That’s strange.’
Jegal Hyeonmong was able to return home safely.
But it was strange.
When I returned home after a long time, there was a lot of work to do.
“You’ve been getting a lot of stuff.”
“Did Mansu bring all of this?”
“That’s what it is.”
There were various items piled up in the warehouse of Jegal Hyeonmong’s house.
First, there was a book.
From rolled bamboo strips to old books that look worn.
These were books from the Zhuge Liang Library that Zhuge Jun had sent.
‘There is a saying that goes, ‘If you drink too much, you will die,’ but… isn’t this too much?’
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.
I heard that the library of the Zhuge family is very large.
And it would have been extremely difficult to find a book that the alcoholic might have left behind in such a place.
Especially for Jegal Jun, who is not a magician.
‘You have to read all of that.’
It’s not that Jegal Hyunmong disliked reading books… … but even so, isn’t that too much?
‘… … Next, first.’
Next was the medicinal herb sent by Samasega.
The Sima family was also renowned as a medical family. Therefore, the medicinal herbs they possessed were of very good quality, and there were quite a few that were not easily found in Sichuan.
‘If we have this, it seems like we can improve Muhugo as well.’
The problem is that Zhuge Liang has to do it himself.
At first glance, the amount of medicinal herbs was considerable.
Since I had no knowledge of herbal medicine, I needed to study what effects it had and how to combine them to achieve good results.
‘Why do I feel like I can’t rest even though I’m home?’
There was no heaven where I ran away.
Even in his home, which was his only refuge, Jegal Hyunmong’s expression became gloomy as he felt like he had to work.
‘For the time being, I can’t do anything else and I have to focus only on this… … .’
With a sigh, Jegal Hyunmong headed to the next place.
“What is this?”
“There was an incident with Gwigokjangwon the other day. Since you solved the case, I should give you a reward as well.”
What Mansu brought was Zhuge Liang’s relics.
Mansu had taken good care of it, and despite its age, it was in excellent condition.
‘There aren’t many magical items.’
Zhuge Liang had a hobby of collecting various items. So, in some ways, it looked like a disorganized mess of junk.
Jegal Hyunmong picked up one of the objects.
“This is… … a labor pain. It looks quite luxurious. Is this also your father’s?”
“Oh, this is your father’s too. It’s a good one. I heard it cost over a thousand nyang.”
“… … What kind of birth control is so expensive?”
“They say they used a very rare tree.”
Zhuge Xuanmong was speechless.
I wondered what on earth I did to owe over 50,000 nyang, and now I think I understand the reason a little bit… … !
Well done-
While thinking like that, Jegal Hyunmong lightly shook the mountain tong and pulled out the mountain branch.
“Can I really live the rest of my life peacefully, eating day by day?”
“Warong, can you tell fortunes?”
“I didn’t learn it professionally, I just have some knowledge.”
Jegal Hyunmong shook the mountain tong and pulled out the mountain branches. Then he interpreted the written words.
‘No.’
“… … I don’t know how to read a mountain, but I can tell from your expression that you are negative.”
“That’s because you’re trying to predict too far into the future. The farther into the future you look, the more likely it is that your horoscope will be wrong.”
Zhuge Xuanmong denied his own divination.
“I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately. Can you avoid it?”
The mountain branch was pulled out again.
‘If you avoid it, misfortune will befall those around you.’
“… … .”
“What are you saying?”
“It seems like the birth canal is broken, so what’s the point of interpreting it?”
As he said this, Jegal Hyunmong put the mountain tong back in its place.
Mansu nodded his head at the sight.
‘It looks like the results were unfavorable to Jihan.’
Mansu chuckled and patted Jegal Hyunmong on the shoulder.
“Don’t be too discouraged. If you can’t avoid it, you might as well enjoy it.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Okay. Anyway, why don’t you go in and rest? You’ll have to go back to work tomorrow, right?”
Jegal Hyunmong’s expression distorted.
* * *
The next day.
‘I don’t want to go to work.’
In fact, after I first learned magic, I even tried to close down Daeryongpyo-guk.
But after that, due to a series of events, I was unable to quit Daeryongpyoguk.
It had piled up to a certain extent.
But that and going to work were separate issues.
Going to work has always been something I hated.
‘As time passes, the commotion must have died down.’
The last impression I remember of Daeryongpyo-guk was ‘Long live the second coming of Muhu!’
‘I hope you don’t hear it anymore.’
And the Daeryongpyo country we arrived at was a bit of a mess.
“Hey! You can’t take that over there, bring it over here!”
“Are the announcements (a notice written to announce something) all ready?”
Jegal Hyunmong went to work after a long time, but he was so busy that no one noticed.
‘I think I just came back from a tour.’
Now that I think about it, it seems like he was planning to go on a trip outside of Sacheon, but it seems like he finished his trip while Jegal Hyeonmong was at Sacheondangga.
“Excuse me, what is all this?”
“Uh, Muhu… … .”
“Please call me General.”
“Oh, General! It’s been a while. I heard you submitted your resignation from Sacheondangga! When did you return?”
‘Do the martial artists have nothing to do?’
It seemed like rumors were spreading too quickly in Gangho.
