Episode 122: The Lost Phoenix -2-
“Blood, blood?”
“Yes. Please consider donating blood and extract only 400 cc.”
He handed over a 400cc blood donation pack and an intravenous syringe.
Kim Magic stared at me intently and tied a medical bandage around his own arm.
The trust had been built up to the point where even outrageous requests were met without complaint.
Soon, red blood began to slowly fill the blood donation bag.
I squatted down next to him.
‘It’s not enough to just make Joserang.’
The item I’m making now requires higher attributes.
I had most of the material properties, but I was missing just one.
World Iron and Jin reached out to the Sun Copper.
‘It’ll take some time.’
What can I do?
I should try making it now.
Wow!
I lit the magic brazier.
First, the iron was melted down to make molten iron, then it was transferred to a cooling furnace and rapidly cooled.
In addition, it is equipped with magic resistance, fire resistance, and black flame, and is made of wire, however crudely.
“Master Mukho? I removed all 400cc… … .”
“Just leave it anywhere. It’s under a preservation spell, so it’ll be fine.”
“Um, yes, I understand.”
A crooked, graffiti-like wire.
Bend it here and there.
He melted silver and copper and made a bird out of wire.
Wrong.
Instead of a bird, a bizarre wire sculpture emerged.
I was silent for a moment, then I repeated the process of straightening and bending the wire.
Again!
The wire broke several times, probably because I was applying too much force.
Anyway, there are a lot of irons in the world.
Dozens of times I made and bent wire to make a bird.
It was only when the sun was about to set and the red glow of the sunset came that I finally felt it.
My hands worked with great skill to create a wire phoenix.
Only then did I feel a sense of joy inside.
[Craft] Trait!
Equip the trait right away.
[Crafting][Modification][Repair] 3 types that I obtained by digging the magic cloth in my first house.
[Josee] obtained through the generous tribute of a human hunter.
Even the [synthesis] that the early Angbal brought to create Kim Jeon-sa.
Add the [Craft] you just opened here and it’s complete.
[Artisan].
Traits like Pharmacist, Locksmith, and Blacksmith are fine, but Craftsman suits me the best.
Because I have no intention of delving deep into the production field.
It’s better to be good at many things.
If you need it later, you can make it then.
There’s no need to wait any longer.
He moved his hands like lightning.
All the world’s iron is put into a furnace and then melted in a cooling furnace to make iron plates.
He pounded it hard with Mjolnir.
World Steel processes new types of steel plates.
On top of that, a light layer of silver is placed over it and a vein-like pattern is inscribed with solar copper.
My poor skills.
However, the craftsman’s characteristics and the characteristics that can be changed from time to time were helping.
Thanks to that, it looks pretty good from the outside.
Bubble bubble.
Here, I boiled the blood of Kim Magic, added the ingredients I had prepared in advance, and finally added the level 3 magic core.
As the blood boils, it seeps into the magic core.
The magic core begins to emit a strange orange glow.
Kim looked at the magic core with eyes that were filled with excitement.
“Where did you learn this?”
“If you live at the bottom for 20 years, you will learn even if you don’t want to learn.”
“No… … All the people I know know are curses and swear words.”
“Am I the same as those people?”
“That’s not it.”
The magic core was recovered.
I pressed the magic core into the alloy phoenix I had made in advance.
Use [synthesis] at the same time.

Synthesis traits are not only used for magic core synthesis.
If you follow the exact recipe, it can be used between dissimilar materials or completely different objects.
It’s not used that often though, because it can evaporate if used incorrectly.
Pfft!
The magic core emitted light.
It soon becomes mushy and melts away, then is absorbed into the alloy phoenix.
Light appeared on the surface of the alloy phoenix.
Fireworks colored light.
It was a color that matched perfectly the living phoenix.
“her!”
“Magic spirit?”
“That’s not it. It’s a phoenix! I created an artificial phoenix!”
“A warrior did something we couldn’t do?”
“Did you take all the pictures?”
“Of course! If we follow suit, we can create an artificial phoenix!”
Did I show you too much?
If you just tear it off that much, that’s it.
I launched the alloy phoenix into the sky with all my might.
The alloy phoenix that had been rising like a paper airplane soon regained its balance.
And then it starts to fly.
Somewhere in the northeast.
Following the instinct of return that is latent in our blood, latent in our DNA.
Towards the mother.
That is, to the Phoenix Valley, which is hidden somewhere.
“Mr. Magic. Get in.”
I grabbed the Red Cougar joystick as if it was a given.
Kim Magic regained his appetite and got into the passenger seat.
“Can I drive?”
“No way.”
“Just once.”
“No.”
Following the alloy phoenix requires delicate and smooth driving.
But you want to enjoy extreme sports?
No, it won’t work. No, it won’t work.
He pulled the joystick with a slurp.
The Red Cougar moves like my body, thanks to its two characteristics: driving and riding.
I followed the alloy phoenix that rose up without a single noise.
Under the darkness that had suddenly fallen, the alloy phoenix was shining like a lighthouse.
Slow-moving alloy phoenix.
The Red Cougar followed the Alloy Phoenix at a distance of exactly ten meters.
“Isn’t it too slow?”
“It’s slow. It’s not a real phoenix, it’s just a doll made roughly.”
“Can you find the Phoenix Valley with this? I guess there’s a Phoenix expert in the back alley.”
“Who wouldn’t have a story? Maybe he was a Phoenix researcher.”
“Can you introduce me?”
“Because I am not of this world.”
“ah…….”
He must have been a game planner, so he’s not from this world. Yeah.
Time passed by without stopping.
Kim Magic yawned and then fell asleep.
How many hours have passed?
As the night drew to a close and the east began to dawn, the alloy phoenix began to descend.
It’s dangerous from now on.
I quickly opened the window and threw Mjolnir.
Bam!
Immediately the alloy phoenix burst out.
“Huh! What, what is it?”
Kim Magic, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up with a start.
I ignored him and pushed the joystick forward.
The red cougar descended at a slow, completely unprovoking pace.
I was on edge as much as I could.
Equipped with all sensory traits, including intuition, insight, and sensitivity.
All minds were focused downwards, in the direction the alloy phoenix was descending.
‘You don’t seem to have noticed?’
The Shinsoo Phoenix is level 9.
The detection range is transcendent.
If you don’t want to die from unnecessary trouble, you should be careful in advance.
“We have arrived.”
“You arrived? Where are you?”
“We have to find it now.”
The Phoenix Seal is difficult to find through normal means.
But once you know where it is, finding it is a piece of cake.
I focused my mind on my sensory series characteristics.
If there is a boundary, there will definitely be a sense of alienation.
It certainly was.
Obviously I was descending in a straight line, but my intuition and insight whispered to me that I was not.
At some point it drew a gentle curve.
As if avoiding some space.
‘bingo.’
Here the joystick was not bent any further.
Since the Alloy Phoenix has flown here, the Divine Phoenix must be in the Phoenix Valley too.
The Shinsoo Phoenix is clearly holding out, so going in would mean asking to be caught and killed.
“Found it.”
“Where is it? I can’t see it.”
“It’s right here. You can’t see it because of the barrier.”
“Really? Then let’s go right in!”
“No, the Phoenix is inside.”
“ah…….”
Kim Magic and I looked at each other for a moment.
It was a situation where I couldn’t just go in, nor could I just wait and pray for the Phoenix to vacate the space.
I gave a clear answer.
“I ask the Lord of the Tower for help.”
“To Grandpa?”
“There’s no other way. It’s beyond my ability. If the Lord of the Tower draws your attention, I’ll have to sneak in while he’s there.”
“Isn’t Grandpa in danger?”
“It’s dangerous. But you should come once. That way, I can check if there is a Phoenix Valley or not. If the Lord of the Tower lures the Phoenix, I will sneak in, and if you wait until the Phoenix is gone, I will join you later.”
My time is precious.
And by finding the second Phoenix Valley, I’ve done all I can to demonstrate how to find the Phoenix Valley.
Kim Magic called Matapju.
After a brief phone call, Matapju arrived via teleportation.
“her!”
The moment you arrive, you will be amazed by the matopju.
“It really is the Valley of the Immortal. I heard from the dispatched magicians. They said they found it by creating a special item?”
“Yes. I learned it a long time ago, but I didn’t know it could be used like this.”
“You are truly a strange man. At first I thought you were just a promising warrior, but you have the heart of a warrior, the adaptability of a fortifier, the brain of a wizard, and the will of a priest! I wonder how a person can do this. Are you really a human? Are you some kind of incarnation?”
“Hahaha. Of course not. He’s a human. My parents don’t know though.”
“Ahem, that’s right. You don’t know your parents.”
That’s the setting. That’s the setting.
Because Kim Jeon-sa is from an orphanage.
The top priest looked at me with unusual eyes.
“Hmm… … That’s right. Maybe your parents are descendants of an ancient bloodline. I heard that Cheonma was a multi-talented and incredibly talented person like you… … .”
Heavenly horse?
I couldn’t help but laugh.
It seems that Cheonma, who was training in a closed room, came all the way to Korea and thought he had an illegitimate child.
Unfortunately, Cheonma and Kim Jeonsa look nothing alike.
Illusion is freedom.
My abilities come solely from trait conversion.
I just shrugged my shoulders moderately.
“Maybe so. I know very well that I am not an ordinary person.”
“Tsk, the ransom keeps going up. But the bet is still as planned. You know what happens if you lose the bet, right?”
“The Lord of the Tower is ready to grant my wish.”
“Hahaha! How brave. Alright. I’ll listen to anything you ask! Except for the seat on the magic tower!”
The top priest stretched out his hand.
Space splits apart and a golden pistol is placed in your hand.
The gun was a gun, but it was filled with magic gems.
A large magical power core was inserted into the muzzle in the shape of a rod.
A magic pistol instead of a wand.
The suit-clad Matopju twirled a pistol.
“I will lure the Phoenix. It will circle the Earth and come back, so investigate carefully. Find out what happened.”
“be careful.”
“Grandpa! If it seems dangerous, run away!”
“Tsk, don’t worry. This old man has been through a lot in real combat. He’s even caught a divine beast with Merlin. Just watch from afar.”
The top of the tower disappeared along with the light.
After a while.
A large sun rose far in the west.
Sunfire.
Strike straight to the point where the Phoenix Valley is located.
A translucent orange barrier was revealed, blocking the sun’s flames.
“Kkuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
A lot of crying and screaming.
Flames rise.
A pure essence of flame, resembling a small mountain, was taking flight in the shape of a bird.
Immediately the tower began to fly west.
Speeds that easily surpass supersonic speeds.
But the Shinsoo Phoenix was faster.
“Kkuuuuuu!”
It seemed as if it was going to cry again, but the moment it flapped its wings, it caught up with the top of the tower in one breath.
Kim Magic shouted, becoming a thought.
“Ha, Grandpa!”
I told you not to worry.
Because the light burst and the magic tower hid its body.
Maybe space travel.
“Kkuuuuuu!”
The Shinsoo Phoenix paused for a moment, then quickly fixed its head.
Both eyes were facing northwest.
It must have been at least several dozen kilometers that they sensed movement.
It quickly spread its wings and disappeared from sight.
“Okay, are you okay?”
“You’ll be fine. Do you have the Cloak of Hiding?”
“Huh? Oh, yes! I have it!”
“Use that. Let’s go in.”
A familiar sight unfolds.
The Phoenix Valley was completed a few days after the spawning grounds were moved.
A world of stars in full color.
The colorful array of colors tempted my eyes, but I could only look at the phoenixes.
[sixth sense][sensitive][bright eyes]
[Insight][Detection][Focus]
As a result, we discovered something strange.
That there are many staggering ones among the phoenixes.
Although they look similar, the magic wavelength is clear.
Compared to similar-aged phoenixes, it was clearly weaker.
bang!
He aimed his sniper rifle and fired.
The given attribute is a spirit bullet.
The phoenixes fled, screaming, at the sudden sound of gunfire.
“Huh! Lord Mukho Sword! I was surprised! Why did you catch the phoenix?”
“I knocked him out. I was going to investigate.”
I confirmed the fainted phoenix.
What I focused on was the heart, blood vessels, and nervous system.
The place where the Phoenix Flame Magic is based.
If this is indeed what the human being did, which I suspected from the moment I first heard the news, then there must be traces of it here.
Kim Magic also tilted his head while looking at the Phoenix.
“That’s strange.”
“What is it?”
“She’s clearly over 20 years old, but I don’t know why she’s acting so weak. She’s weaker than a 10-year-old phoenix.”
“Does Mr. Magic see it that way too?”
It’s easier for Kim Magic to give me the conclusion than to say it myself.
Even though I knew the answer, I waited for Kim Magic to turn over the Phoenix.
Kim Ma-beop, who had been observing the phoenix for a long time.
Finally, I breathed my magic power into it and checked the state of my magic power properly.
Hongyeon thoroughly examines the phoenix from head to tail.
After a while, Kim Magic narrowed his eyes.
“This is… … .”
“Have you figured out anything?”
“It didn’t get weaker for no reason. This guy had his magic power stolen.”
“You were robbed?”
“Yes. Everything from the heart to the blood vessels has dried up. It’s completely dry. It doesn’t usually leave traces like this… … And to do that with the fire attribute… … .”
Oh, right.
That’s it.
Tell me quickly.
Kim Magic, you would know.
Even if you are not a wizard, you are the grandson of the Magic Tower Lord.
After a while, Kim Magic’s face hardened.
“Surely not, the Japanese school?”
bingo.
Japanese school of thought.
One of the several schools that make up the Sun Tower.
It was the place where Elder Cho, the master of the dead magician, was the head.
