Episode 79: The Journey of Yeo Su-haeng (1)
* * *
Time passed quickly.
Kang-hoo refuses to meet her in the morning out of consideration for himself.
I met them right away.
It was because I could feel the heart of a parent who would be crushed by their child who is left alone and neglected even at this moment.
Just because Kang-hoo had many emotionally worn-out corners, it didn’t mean he couldn’t infer and understand other people’s emotions.
And since I don’t really consider sleep a top priority, I didn’t even want to sleep.
The two are Park Min-seong’s parents and are also the Master and Vice Master of the British Spitfire Guild.
Their names were Garnier and Melissa. Only after learning their names did Kang-hoo remember them.
Although it wasn’t a very prominent name, it was mentioned a few times in passing in the original work.
Anyway, I guided Garnier and Melissa to where Park Min-seong was.
They traveled to Ground Zero without any problems, as they were traveling in a security vehicle they had arranged themselves.
And Park Min-seong’s body was recovered from the scene.
Due to the special local conditions at Ground Zero, Park Min-seong’s body was barely decomposed.
It was like looking at a dead body that had died a few hours ago. Except for a little pus, everything else was fine.
Garnier and Melissa wiped away tears as they loaded their son into the freezer compartment of the security vehicle.
Watching the two people shedding tears, Kang-hoo was able to understand his parents’ feelings a little.
On the one hand, I wondered if I could give that much love to an adopted child who was not my blood relative.
It seemed like an emotion that was difficult to understand with my own realistic and highly rational emotions.
So the training is over.
By the time the distinctive musty smell that only comes from Ground Zero had disappeared, it was time to reach the road.
Garnier stopped the car he was driving for a moment and asked Kang-hoo to talk to him.
There are some aspects of conversation that are lacking in manners and etiquette when carried out in a car.
It was a situation where quite important things were being discussed in a place with many people.
Kang-hu is not the type to be picky about places, so he got out of the car and walked out to the side of the road.
The road leading to Ground Zero was quiet, with little traffic.
It was Garnier who spoke first.
“I really don’t know how to express my gratitude. Thanks to you, I was able to bring my child home.”
“I offer my condolences. My heart aches so much that I cannot begin to describe your sorrow.”
“I adopted her, but she is a child I raised with all my heart. It’s sad, but I have to overcome it.”
Garnier wiped away tears.
Melissa had been crying nonstop since a while ago, so she couldn’t speak properly.
Kang-hoo asked.
“You didn’t know that your son had come to Korea?”
“The last we heard from Minseong was that he was going to Japan to meet a hunter friend. It was on the phone.”
“hmm…….”
“It has been confirmed that he actually visited Tokyo. However, the whereabouts of the friend he met are unknown.”
“Do you have any concerns?”
“I don’t know. The only thing the child talked about in Korea was the Purification Guild… … .”
A story about a guild that you didn’t want to hear comes out.
Could the Purification Guild have been involved in this as well? Was Park Min-seong really that great of a person?
Since we don’t know the circumstances, all we can do is speculate.
However, his value is not great enough for the Purification Guild to put in the effort to promote Park Min-seong.
However, the story changes when you consider who Park Min-seong’s parents are.
In fact, Britain and France were countries that were in sharp opposition to Jang Si-hwan in the original work.
Naturally, he was portrayed as a ‘villain’.
But now, looking at it from a different perspective, it seems that they are the forces of justice that resisted the traitors until the end.
Anyway, there are too few clues.
Even if you force a connection, it becomes a meaningless connection because you cannot find a reason for it.
“If it’s alright with you, would you like to join us as an observer for the Spitfire Guild when you come to England?”
Garnier also changed the subject, perhaps thinking that it would be a waste of time.
After all, Park Min-seong’s death is an issue that parents who have lost a child must investigate and find out about.
I didn’t want to burden Kang-hoo with another burden after he helped me collect my son’s body.
Observer.
Although it is used differently in each country, the term ‘invited mercenary’ is usually used in Korea.
What this means is that the guild officially welcomes outside guests.
However, even if they are not part of a guild, they receive the same treatment and support as guild members.
Because you can enjoy the privileges and rights you need without being bound by the organization.
This was a method often used when the guild wanted to invite outside hunters or gain additional power.
In English-speaking countries, the term “observer” was used to refer to invited mercenaries.
Kang-hoo answered.
“I would be grateful if you would be so considerate. I have heard of the reputation of the Spitfire Guild.”
It’s lip service.
Actually, I just remembered it for the first time today, but isn’t it true that words are meant to be used in a certain way?
It was a very welcome offer for Kang-hoo.
Being the best in your country doesn’t necessarily mean you’re the best in the world.
The original Jang Si-hwan was like that too.

After conquering the country and expanding overseas, they started off like crazy from the very beginning.
Of course, that was the opportunity for him to become more awakened and grow into a person capable of conquering the world.
In any case, overseas expansion was essential, and to do so, it was necessary to lay the groundwork in advance.
In Japan, we have created a reliable card called Ahn Young-ho.
Although we need to think carefully, we can also draw a line against the Chinese Shinto guild through Yu Cheong-hwa.
And now it’s Britain.
Through Garnier and Melissa I had the opportunity to connect with the Spitfire Guild.
The Spitfire Guild is one of the top 15 guilds in the UK, specialising in adventure, exploration and pioneering.
There were many elements to look forward to, as it contained quite a few rare dungeons that were not well known to the outside world.
“This is an observer-only license. Since it has my electronic signature, authentication is instant.”
“Is it okay to give it to me like this?”
“Because you are the one who safely returned my son to me. You can use it for personal use or sell it to others. This is a token of my gratitude that takes all these cases into consideration.”
An observer’s license that is entirely gold-plated, except for the electronically required portions.
It was a very beautifully made license that would stimulate a strong desire to own just by looking at it.
“What is the deadline?”
“It’s indefinite. You can join our Spitfire Guild as an observer at any time for life.”
It was the best reward.
This is because observer licenses are usually issued for a short period of time.
Since it was a form that unilaterally provided special benefits to outsiders, there was no need for the guild to maintain it for a long time.
It was like getting an opportunity that money couldn’t buy.
The word indefinite means that you can benefit from the Spitfire Guild at any time in the future.
Without any separate obligation or responsibility towards them.
Melissa, who had just wiped away her tears, added:
“Thank you very much. I hope you know that I am more than happy to give you monetary compensation.”
“I’ll give you our security contact information separately. If you need anything, please let me know. I’ll issue you a gold card in the name of the guild.”
Gold card.
This refers to a credit card for payment whose usage limit resets every month.
It is also a card that allows you to use the money as you wish, within a set amount, at any time.
The limit is negotiable, but usually starts at a minimum of 1 billion won.
In other words, you can spend 1 billion won every month without worrying about what other people think. That’s the minimum.
I thought I was already compensated enough with the Observer License.
But that doesn’t mean I want to turn away from things I could enjoy more. I’ve done enough to deserve it.
Kang-hoo asked back with a smile.
“What is the monthly limit?”
* * *
After that.
After recovering the body of their son Park Min-seong, Garnier and Melissa headed straight to England.
They said they would bury Park Min-seong in a private grave for his family that they had prepared for the future.
Unlike when I came to Korea in a hurry, I used their charter plane to fly back to England.
Now, Park Min-seong will be able to return to his second hometown with his adoptive parents and rest in eternal peace.
“Good intentions are rewarded, is that it?”
Kang-hoo smiled as he looked at the observer license and gold card in his hands.
Now you can utilize the Spitfire Guild’s dungeons and internal infrastructure at any time.
Furthermore, it is now possible to use credit cards with a monthly limit of 2 billion won.
I thought the gold card would have a few year limit, but Garnier nailed it down from the start.
It is indefinite as long as Kang-hoo uses it. He said it is for life as long as he doesn’t transfer it to an outsider.
Perhaps it was after enjoying a feast of rewards like a storm that I felt tired late in the day.
Kang-hoo checked into a hotel near Suwon Station, and after taking a good night’s sleep, he planned to go to the Onnuri Guild and request a dungeon raid license like last time.
If you can enter the Baltic Dungeon again, learning tricks won’t be as difficult as last time.
That night.
Kang-hoo, who slept soundly from morning till late at night without waking up even once, went straight to the Onnuri Guild.
This time, Han Seung-hyuk, the head of the dungeon management team, appeared.
So I thought the conversation would go better than expected, but then a variable arose.
The attack schedule is already full for about a month.
In addition, Han Seung-hyuk was curious as to why Kang-hu, an outsider, kept showing interest in the Baltic Dungeon.
They persistently tried to dig up hidden rewards or honey points that they didn’t know about.
In addition, the unit price for renting a license was raised to 10 billion won, as if they had no intention of renting it in the first place.
As a result, negotiations broke down before even starting.
Kang-hoo also didn’t necessarily have access to only the Baltic dungeon, so he didn’t necessarily go after Han Seung-hyeok.
So, Kang-hoo’s new destination was Yeosu.
The warlords of Yeosu, self-reliance.
This is because among the dungeons they own, there are dungeons like the Baltman Dungeon where skill book tricks are possible.
Although the name is different, in fact, the internal structure and form of the dungeon are more than 95% the same as the Baltic Dungeon.
Kim Ja-ho, the leader of the warlord ‘Ja-gang’, is of Chinese descent, and many of the hunters under his command are also of Chinese descent.
Perhaps that’s why, as we entered their stronghold area, there was a strong Chinatown-like atmosphere.
As expected.
“Hey! Outsiders, walk in from here on foot! Don’t even think about driving around.”
They were forced out of their cars before they even entered their control area.
It seemed like he didn’t like the sight of outsiders driving around freely.
