Episode 155: The Grand Palace of Stockholm -1-
It was extremely cold in Seoul in February.
It didn’t snow.
The sky was eerily clear, and the sun, rising like an iceberg, cast a cold light.
Light falls in drops and reflects off the glass.
The bluish-gray glass exterior that fills the building’s exterior.
There, a flash of light was sharply slashing at my eyes.
But my heart was warm.
“Here it is.”
Because of the gentleman in a suit, wearing a jewel tie and magic glasses.
“The former division commander said he would transfer this building to the Mukho Sword Master.”
I looked up at the building quietly.
A 15-story building to be exact.
They said there was also a sixth floor underground.
The first floor was occupied by a franchise cafe and a convenience store, and the second floor and above were occupied by offices of various superhuman groups.
If medical buildings were originally the most preferred real estate in the world, then in this world, superhuman industrial buildings are by far the most preferred.
“Wow. Wow.”
Baek So-rin opened her mouth wide.
“Teacher, are you the building owner? How much does a building like this cost?”
The lawyer in a suit answered proudly.
“A year ago, the former division chief purchased it for exactly 110 billion won. The price has gone up a bit these days, so it’ll probably be worth around 120 billion won.”
“120 billion!”
Baek So-rin’s eyes widen.
Janet looked almost faint.
Carly, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, nodded, saying that the building was okay.
“What about the registration tax?”
Among us, only Chief Choi was able to maintain his composure.
The lawyer smiled faintly.
“The old division commander has decided to pay for it. Your Majesty the Mukho Sword Master just needs to stamp his seal.”
“You are so cute!”
“Haha. That’s what the old division commander was like. He must be the eldest son of the corps commander.”
If he’s going to give it, he’ll give it hotly.
There are some regrettable points.
Originally, a building of this size in the world would have cost 50 to 60 billion, not 120 billion.
In a world with a large population and high real estate values, we have to be content with this.
‘Later… … .’
I looked south toward the street, where the skyscrapers were densely packed.
It’s not a 15 or 20 story building.
Skyscrapers with 100 and 200 stories formed a forest in the city center.
A building that cannot be bought even if you pay over 1 trillion won because no one will sell it.
Someday, I want to be the owner of a skyscraper like that.
On the one hand, there was laughter.
All I had was the deposit for a 2-pyeong goshiwon.
I felt like I had my own home, became the owner of a mansion, and became the building owner.
And on the other hand… … .
‘I don’t want to go back.’
The more powerful you become and the more you have, the more thoughts you have.
Do I really have to go back to my original world?
If we become strong enough to destroy the future episode bombing, we can conquer this world and solve all of our problems.
It’s something to think about.
At least it’s better to leave it as a plan B.
“Huh? That guy… … .”
“The silent sword master! It’s the silent sword master!”
“What? A silent sword?”
The place where my building was located was in the middle of Gangnam-daero.
Among them, the area around Shinsa Station.
Naturally, there was a huge floating population.
This world’s Gangnam-daero is twice as wide as the original Gangnam-daero in the world, but it’s still crowded with people.
People started to recognize me and approach me.
Director Choi made a hasty gesture.
“Please come inside.”
The place we were guided to was the top floor of the 15th floor.
It was a penthouse exclusively for the building owner.
The work and living spaces are well-equipped.
All the furniture is top quality.
No, a magical masterpiece.
Even the engraved magic circle was neat and fragrant, elegant magic power wafted from the magic circuit.
“Hey, hey. Are you giving me all of this too?”

“Haha, of course. Of course I’ll give you everything.”
“Wow!”
I was the one who received it, but why was Baek So-rin more excited?
But I took one look around the penthouse and turned my mind off.
Why?
There was no training room.
I spend most of my day in the training room and I couldn’t live without it.
Besides, the mansion currently has various facilities and security devices installed on the magic spirit computer, so I can’t just abandon them and move them.
“It’s okay to take care of some business for a while.”
“Hmm? Oh, hahaha, that’s what the Mukho Sword Master would do. In fact, the former commander didn’t use it much either. The property manager used it. The former commander had a few more buildings in the Gangnam area, so he had to manage them.”
“Ah… … There’s no training room.”
“If you want to make it, you can make it.”
“Then I think security might be a bit poor.”
“That’s true.”
I think it would be better for me to hire someone like the old man and let him use the penthouse.
then…….
I called Director Choi, who was absentmindedly looking around the penthouse.
“Chief Choi.”
“yes?”
“Would you be willing to manage this building for me?”
Chief Choi swallows dry saliva.
“Me, me?”
“Yes. I don’t know anyone else. There are many superhuman groups here, so it will be helpful for Director Choi’s business. Don’t you think so?”
“Well, well… … .”
“I won’t tell you to close down your business, Mr. Choi. I’ll give you 10% of the rental income from this building as commission. But please make sure you manage it properly.”
How much is the rent for a building in Gangnam?
Although it varies from building to building, the proportions are similar in the original world and this world.
About 1% to 2%.
So this building generates between 1.2 and 2.4 billion won in revenue per year.
You can earn 100 to 200 million won a month just by sitting there.
I would be willing to invest in about 10% of them if they didn’t make me worry about anything.
“Your Majesty the Silent Sword… … .”
Director Choi was in tears.
“You are my savior, and I cannot accept a commission. Besides, you said I can continue my business. I will gladly serve you, Master Mukho.”
“No, sir. How long do you think I’ll be able to keep this building?”
“uh…….”
“I guarantee you that sooner or later, there will be several more buildings like this. Maybe I will own a trillion-dollar skyscraper. Will you still do your volunteer work then?”
“That, that’s it… … .”
“It’s better to make the calculations clear. Take the commission. Instead, think of it as your own work, Director Choi, and work hard.”
It’s stupid to save on commissions just to earn ten million or twenty million won more right now.
It would be better to give them a little bit of equity and let them work hard.
The harder Director Choi works, the fuller I will be.
Director Choi, who had been rolling his eyes for a moment, bent his waist at a 90-degree angle.
“I will work hard, boss!”
“Haha. Let’s do our best.”
I shook hands with Director Choi.
The lawyer sent by the old man was looking at me and Chief Choi as if he was envious.
A common manager position these days.
But like I said, I’m sure it’ll fly sooner or later.
“Then would you like to stamp it?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I need to renew my lease. Should I ask them to come in now? I’ve already contacted the tenants.”
“Your Majesty the Mukho Sword Master is busy. I will renew the contract as your agent.”
“Well… … Okay.”
“Sir, what should we do? Should we try negotiating?”
Director Choi showed an enthusiastic appearance.
The eyes are glaring like a hyena’s, indicating that he is thinking of raising the rent significantly.
A world where the three rental laws do not exist.
In the original world, the landlord was superior, but in this world, he is a super superior.
I thought for a moment and then answered.
“Is there really a need for that? Let’s stick to the existing contract for about two years. If my situation is not bad after two years, we can freeze it or raise it a little.”
“Ugh.”
“The Lord of the Mukho Sword is very generous.”
“Because he is our teacher!”
I feel a little embarrassed.
I declared a rent freeze because I didn’t want to worry, but the response was so enthusiastic.
I found out that the national rule is that when a building owner changes, the rent increases by at least 10%, and up to 20%.
In many ways, it is a place that can be compared to the original world.
‘Hell Joseon is a fairy? How can that be?’
If that place was hell difficulty, then this place would be hellfire difficulty.
I woke up after spending some time there.
“I’ll leave the rest to Director Choi. Unless it’s something really serious, please handle it as you see fit.”
“Yes! Just trust me! I will work hard and give my life!”
“Sir, you hit the jackpot?”
“Hahaha. That’s right. It’s all thanks to the Mukho Sword Master.”
“Then see you later.”
I drove back home.
After a brief sparring session with his disciples, he locked himself in the training room.
It’s already been two weeks since I reached level 6.
But I still hadn’t adapted to my body.
“Whew. That’s hard.”
A mild grumble.
The growth of the disciples is amazing.
Baek So-rin is already in the mid-level 5 range, and Janet is just about to reach level 5.
After a month or two, I think I’ll be able to feed him nectar.
Carly?
Same thing.
It looks like Janet will reach level 4 by the time she reaches level 5.
‘I can’t lose.’
I took up the sword.
Close your eyes and recall the memory.
Memories stored in my brain.
The appearance of the commander wielding the silent sword.
The commander swung his sword wildly.
Every time, the black energy soars and the black river is born, splitting the world apart.
I also followed along in my head as he recited the names of the plants he was singing.
‘Mukho Maeng-a, Mukho Seom-roe, Mukho Dan-cheon, Mukho Heuk-yeong, Mukho Geom-gwang, Mukho Gangrim.’
In order, they are: Black Sword, Flash, Single Moon, Sword Curtain, New Sword Harmony, and Sword Gang.
The silent invincible sword technique was truly a manual.
Learning techniques using sword energy from the beginning, and ultimately reaching sword mastery.
The scary thing is that this is only the first half.
The second half is a heart check.
So I wondered.
‘Can I do this?’
In the game, only SSR swordsmen characters use the Heart Sword.
Chinese characters that will be updated later.
Even the commander of the legion cannot use the sword.
The Heart Sword is level 9, and is in the realm of the constellations.
‘It’s definitely not a unique characteristic… … .’
The problem is that I don’t even know how to obtain it.
The only way was to get a swordsman character through a paid draw and have it passed down to the swordsman character.
However, due to poor performance, it was pushed back by the three major generals.
It is a warrior trait, but it takes longer to activate than great magic, consumes a lot of magic power, and is a single skill that is not an area-of-effect skill.
‘Let’s bury it.’
Just the manifestation of health is overwhelming right now.
“Whew.”
It followed similar paths up to Mukhomeng-a, Mukho Seomroe, and Mukho Dancheon.
It got blocked after that.
Silent Black Shadow and Silent Sword Light.
The union of the sword and the divine sword. Two characteristics that I have not yet acquired.
‘I just need to bring these two.’
Then the master of the sword is complete.
I can also spray the sword with swords.
Sword Master at level 5 is excessive, but Sword Master at level 6 is not bad.
As long as you support the characteristics and abilities.
“Put the pressure down!”
Wow!
Hold out your sword.
A blow that thoroughly follows the magic operation method of the silent black spirit.
[Silence Invincible Sword Technique][Sword Expert][Sword Skill]
[Sigurd’s training method][Concentration][Training]
The shield rises again and again.
Tata tata tang!
The set drones fire machine guns.
An imperfect shield deflects bullets.
It’s not perfect.
At least half of it leaked out through the veil and hit me.
But it doesn’t hurt that much.
I touched my bruised skin and sighed.
“Too weak.”
The problem is that I’ve become too strong.
Should I just deploy a machine gun and go for it?
Then again, that’s excessive.
It’s best to slightly increase the firepower to something like a rifle, and then add some magic to it to attack both physically and magically.
I sighed briefly inwardly.
‘Where is the Dasan rifle?’
Director Choi was looking hard but couldn’t find it.
Because it was really rare even in games.
‘Hit with magic?’
That’s one way.
Excluding swordsmanship and concentration, he uses magic defense and area defense.
Now that we’re on the subject, I’ll give it a try.
The magic power is drained away like an ebb tide, but it is implemented similarly.
But doing it this way is very inefficient.
‘It’s useless in real combat.’
I already felt that way when I used Mars’ sword fighting technique against the old man.
That there is a serious lack of magical power.
However, there are limited ways to increase your magic power here.
There is a top-tier attribute for the Magic Soul, but it is only for wizards.
The warrior’s magical power is limited.
There was only one way.
“Thor’s training method… … .”
A method of training that I have been thinking about for a long time.
He retrieved his sword and spread his arms.
Develops new traits.
[Hellfire]
Wow!
Flames are emitted.
Blood-red flames shoot out like a flamethrower.
A flame that easily burns down the spacious training room.
The walls are quickly blackened.
The magic circle activates, but it is still weak.
Even the magical power contained in the magic circle was melting away.
“Ugh!”
But I couldn’t keep it on for long and turned the light off.
[Magic Soul][Magic Heart][Sigurd’s Training Method]
[Magic Recovery][Magic Absorption][Deep Breath]
Even if I filled it all with magic power-related traits, it was like this.
It took so much magical power that I couldn’t even last 10 seconds.
There is no series restriction in Hellfire, but it consumes so much magic power that it is like that.
That’s why fire wizards tend to have traits like fire mastery and fire specialization.
Just like Kim Magic.
‘It’s difficult to use as a main weapon.’
Instead, it is possible to use it as a surprise attack.
Just one.
If only the problem of horsepower consumption could be solved.
‘I have to go to Stockholm.’
I’m a little nervous.
I unconsciously unzipped my tracksuit.
My neck felt tight even though I didn’t wear it all the way up.
Is it okay?
The reason I’m worried is simple.
Thor’s method of training, Odin’s method of training, Tyr’s method of training.
Because this highest level of training method originated from God.
Because what you receive must come directly from God.
That is, we must face God.
At level 6.
At a time when you are not qualified.
‘It’s not like there’s no way.’
I’ve mentioned this before.
Those below level 6 die instantly upon seeing the god.
You need to be at least level 7 to even see the face.
This is a problem that depends on the soul’s level, so it cannot be solved even by painting the upper characteristics.
But as always, there were exceptions.
You can use the invincible period.
You can use anything, be it a potion or a magic chip, to see it.
If you believe in invincibility and go crazy, you’ll end up dead.
‘There is an invincibility skill other than paid items…’
The place where the invincibility artifact is located is also the Grand Palace of Stockholm.
I got on the Red Cougar right away.
Thor’s training method was waiting for me.
