Episode 61 < An expedition without dreams or hopes. (3) >
—————————
The two looked at the medicine they had made in silence.
The others were silent too. We were all mesmerized to see how different the results were even though we used exactly the same ingredients. “Hey.”
The one who moved first was the pharmacist.
He presses his glasses tightly with his knuckles, and tilts his head.
“Is this the medicine you made? … ?”
The Medicine King was speechless.
The Alchemist took the Medicine King’s potion and looked around.
“Hmm.”
Even if you tilt it, you can see it,
“Hey.”
I even tried standing it upside down.
Then, he returned the potion to the Medicine King’s hand and adjusted his glasses.
“This is it… … ?”
hmm.
‘Is this person the type of person who becomes infinitely stronger when he thinks he has an advantage?’
In other words, like all other high-level hunters, does he harbor the seeds of a traitor?
Probably not.
It can’t be… … .
While I was losing trust in humans, the Medicine King barely responded.
“hmm…….”
There was a big difference in height between the two.
The woman’s body was as long and plump as the days she would live, and the old man’s frame was small and shriveled by the years he had lived.
Therefore, the Alchemist looked down at the Medicine King, and the Medicine King looked up at the Alchemist.
“I can’t believe it, old man… … ”
“No way, kid… … ”
They both spoke at the same time.
“Are your skills bad…?”
“Am I lucky…?”
hmm.
“yes?”
If the Alchemist tilted his head, the Medicine King nodded.
“You’re lucky.”
“yes?”
“Tsk tsk. This is why young people are like this. I remember when I was in my 30s and made about $1.7 billion in 10 minutes on Wall Street. “I thought it was all my skills.”
“…….”
The pharmacist tilted his head. The glasses tilted accordingly.
A truly angry voice flowed from the pharmacist’s slanted lips.
“Would you like to try one more round?” … ?”
“Is that okay? Lady Luck never smiles twice. Tsk tsk, anyway, young people… … ”
3 minutes passed.
“You are very lucky. But the goddess of luck doesn’t smile three times. This time, I realized the difference in age…”
Three more minutes passed.
“You are very lucky. But Lady Luck doesn’t smile four times… … ”
“stop… … ”
In the end, Geomseong grabbed the Medicine King’s shoulder.
“Stop it, Medicine King… … .”
“Marcus, what are you talking about!”
“You are so ugly now… … ”
“no! This time! This time, it’s my skill! My experience will crush that beginner’s luck! Can’t you see Sean McAllister’s Victory Road?”
“I’m sorry, miss. You really are the best pharmacist. “It was my fault for not believing the Death King’s guarantee right away.”
Geomseong nodded, lowered his head and apologized.
The pharmacist, who was looking down at the Medicine King with eyes as if he were looking at a hand-made water flea, made a hmmm sound and composed himself.
“that… … You must be having a hard time because of your friend… … ”
“This friend is still that… … It’s not without its good points. Map… … It’s not as good as yours, but I can make it… … ”
“Yeah… … I feel like it’s better than nothing… … . It’s not like I don’t have any basic skills, so I guess there’s nothing I can’t use as an assistant…”
It was the moment when the pharmacist muttered that while adjusting his glasses.
“you!”
The agility is reminiscent of a cat running towards a daisy plant!
The Count of Sangryeon was holding the pharmacist’s wrist and hanging down.
“contract!”
“yes!?”
“contract! Contract immediately! Exclusive contract! “Contract with me!”
“Uh, uh… … ”
“Guaranteed best treatment in the industry! I’ll even let you pet the cat! No, I’ll just let you roll around in the cat field! How! How is it!”
The pharmacist was so embarrassed that he couldn’t say anything.
But the count was only the beginning.

“me too!”
“Apothecary! “The Death King has foreshadowed you, Master of Medicine!”
“No, except for Saja, Yajae!”
“Yakshin! “Some medicine for us too!”
I got it when I beat the 10th floor solo.
Countless requests for handshakes flooded the pharmacist.
4.
“First of all!”
The pharmacist was embarrassed and pushed the people away.
“If you want to trade medicine with me, go to Death King first! Oh, of course, if you had previously traded… … Well, the Paladin is fine, though! Otherwise! Well, I will only sell medicine to those who are approved by Death King, so… … As long as it doesn’t cause trouble to Death King… … ”
At those words, the eyes of the hunters, including the count, turned to me.
The paladin alone quietly took a hurray pose and then quietly got down again.
I grinned.
“For now, let’s think about it after breaking the Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon.”
“ah! “Yes, yes!”
Climbing the tower always works for hunters.
Even the Count retreated with a sour expression on his face.
‘good.’
With this, the members were prepared.
First of all, there is sword skill.
And there is a pharmacist.
Above all, there is me.
“no. This can’t be happening! This can’t be happening! My experience! “There is no way my years of experience could be fooled by the luck of a mere child!”
The guy who thinks he’s the Medicine King or the Cognitive Aid Emperor… … As the pharmacist said, it’s better than nothing.
“hmm! “It seems like all the characters have been decided.”
The library director, who had been watching our show so far, said brightly.
“I’ll say it again. If you die in the Apocalypse, you will die in real life. There is only one way to escape safely! One way or another, overcome the crisis of serial discontinuation. And get a proper [ending]!”
“What is a proper ending?”
“It is up to you to decide.”
The Librarian grinned at my question.
“Maybe you guys can save the martial arts world by eradicating the epidemic. You may use the epidemic to become the masters of the martial arts world yourself. The possibilities are almost endless! Please think for yourself which is [the best ending].”
In short, it means leaving it entirely up to us.
I nodded.
“great. Then please send it to [The Annals of the Heavenly Demon] right now… .”
“wait for a sec!”
someone shouted.
“Aren’t you going, Lord Moon?”
“Iknow, right. “Isn’t martial arts a perfect opportunity for Lord Moon to be active?”
Cheon Mu-moon.
They were the hunters of the guild headed by the Viper.
The poisonous snake that was quietly holding its breath in the martial arts group blinked its eyes.
“uh?”
To the perplexed poisonous snake, the disciples of Cheonmumun hurled one word at a time.
“No matter how much I think about it, this is a world for Moonju… … ”
“I think so too. Moonju. “When it comes to Kangho’s duty, wouldn’t it be Munju?”
“I think so too, Master. “Master must step forward.”
The viper narrowed his eyebrows.
And then he slowly crossed his arms.
The thick eyebrows and single eye beneath them displayed a manly determination.
“OK. I was already about to leave. “Have you guys forgotten about me?”
“……..”
I was speechless.
weird. There’s no way that guy would be interested in the martial arts world?
Something seemed suspicious, so I opened the character window and read their psychological state… just as expected.
“No, you damn disciples!”
“Why are you trying to send me to a village like that!?”
The viper was screaming in his heart.
But only his appearance was serious. The one-eyed swordsman spoke softly, as if she was waiting for her students to push her back.
“Those who revere nothingness and cooperation. The world of warriors and thiefs, that is martial arts! “Even though I was born in a different hometown, my heart’s hometown has been in Murim for a long time.”
“There won’t even be a flush toilet there. Even in the Aegim Empire, we suffered a lot because of that, but this kind of bastard… .」
Oh my god.
“You probably don’t know why the sect I founded is called Cheonmumun.”
“Is there something ‘problematic’ about the fact that I, a 32-year-old with a cheat skill called ‘Cheon’ Musang, was a 32-year-old ‘non-working’ person who looked like a drawing until I came to the tower? It is an abbreviation for , but everyone knows it as Cheonmumun. Even sign men have made it that way. “I can’t explain this now, damn it…”
Oh my god.
“I must go.”
“I never want to go!”
I was speechless.
Bae Hu-ryeong, who shared my consciousness, also seemed at a loss for words.
[ Glitter reports that she, too, is at a loss for words. ]
There was something before their eyes that left people, ghosts, and constellations speechless.
Hunters shout at such a being! and cheered.
Cheon Mu-mun’s guild members were especially happy.
“As expected, it’s Moonju!”
“I knew Master would come out like that!”
“Our idol! A true hunter of this era!”
“I will follow you for the rest of my life! Moonju!”
If you didn’t have the ability to read psychology… I might have been impressed too. No matter where you look, the Viper’s appearance is that of a thief who devoted his life to a single sword.
Just like a swordsman.
The swordsman crossed his arms.
“Umm… . Viper, you probably feel like you want to go.”
“If you say it twice, it’s nagging.”
“But I don’t think there’s any reason for this person to give in.”
Sword Saint raised his auror.
The viper was already gaining momentum. The momentum of the two swordsmen collided. Paang… ! With a sound like a balloon bursting, the surrounding air suddenly changed. The bookmark maids must have sensed a sense of danger and ran away, or were caught up in the momentum and flew away.
Hunters became even more enthusiastic.
“The swordsman and the poisonous snake face off!”
“This is a battle of pride!”
Truly a truly spectacular sight.
As someone who knows the psychology of poisonous snakes, it was a shocking sight in a different way.
At that moment, there was a clanking sound.
“Sword Saint. Cheon Mu-munju. “Stop it.”
It was the sound of a paladin taking a step forward.
The reason why there was a clanking sound was because the paladin was one of the few people who had bet money on the apothecary in the previous bet. Her pocketbook, which had always been thin, was now bloated after receiving 47 times the amount of dividends.
The reason why the paladin with an infinitely serious expression feels a bit strange is probably due to the magic power of the big money bag.
“I’m sure there won’t be a stabbing here, right?”
Anyway, the paladin’s voice was serious. As always, he intervened in the fight between the two.
As always… … ?
‘Wait a minute, was it really [always] like this…? … ?’
-That’s right, zombie. If that were the case and we just didn’t know about it until now… … .
‘It seems like this world is full of forbidden knowledge that we really shouldn’t know… … ‘
The viper snorted.
“If you have to dance with swords, you should dance with swords. Damn, I and the Sword Saint are both martial arts warriors. “Wouldn’t it be okay to win one game and go to the stronger side?”
“Let’s lose on purpose!”
“It would be embarrassing to lose so openly, so let’s lose as narrowly as possible!”
“If I lose to the Sword Saint, my disciples will understand. cancer.”
It was truly a bizarre sight.
Geomseong, who had no idea what was going on, wiped the sweat that was seeping from his forehead.
“I’m sorry, but it’s a poisonous snake… . Against a strong person like you, this person has no choice but to give his best. As a result, I lost one of your eyes during the last sparring. “I can’t guarantee that the same result won’t come out this time too.”
“I should say the same thing back to you, old man. “If you think about those days and attack me, you will end up in a coffin.”
「You bastard! f*ck! Several!”
The appearance of the viper was clearly that of a brave warrior.
The Sword Emperor floating next to me also wiped the sweat from his forehead like the Sword Saint.
-It’s a zombie.
‘yes. ‘Geomje nobleman.’
-You said all high level hunters are crazy. But… by the way. Among them, what can I say about that bastard… .
‘[Really] Yes… .’
My forehead was also full of sweat.
In fact, if you just look at the part about ‘sweat dripping from your forehead’, everyone was like that. All the hunters were watching this scene with sweat dripping from their foreheads.
The people gathered at Babylon Square to watch the broadcast must also be sweating.
The paladin’s forehead was also full of sweat. Sweat ran down my cheeks and dripped onto my bag full of gold coins.
“Anyway, Viper, you are a man… … ”
The viper smiled brightly.
“Not to samurai. “There are moments when you can’t back out.”
“Holy knight! “Do something!”
The urgent cries of his heart would never have been heard, but the paladin really did something.
Specifically, he said this to the Sword Saint.
“Sword Saint… … . “Can you please step aside this time?”
“Why are you telling me to step down!?”
‘Why are you telling me to step down!?’
Ah, it overlapped.
My thoughts overlapped with that [real thing]… … .
[ Glitter drops her sword body and massages the warrior’s waist. ]
Geomje also touched my shoulder.
While I was receiving silent comfort, the Paladin continued to speak to the Sword Saint.
“I know you always want to be on the front line. But didn’t you already participate in the raid from the 12th to the 19th floors with the Death King and the Witch? However, it would be shameless to say that we would be the first to attack the 22nd floor.”
Calm tone and logical explanation. A face that is extremely serious.
The only thing that bothered me was the big money pouch sticking out of my waist.
“Besides that,”
The paladin pointed to the poisonous snake and to the poisoners who had told the poisonous snake that Lord Moon should go.
“Cheon Mu-munju is the head of a group. Although he is not the type of man to care about respect for his students, he is in a different position from you as a single person. “Could you please show him some respect?”
“Umm…”
The Sword Saint, Marcus Calenberg, let out a sigh.
The hard-forged old man frowned. He unwrapped. He raised his eyebrows up and down several times.
Then, he crossed his arms.
“When has this person ever cared about the reputation of your five major guilds?”
The paladin made a sound.
“Sword Saint, you really… … !”
“but.”
The swordsman, who interrupted the paladin’s words, turned his head and looked at me.
No, why are you looking at me here… … ?
“I’ve been wondering if this person might be a little more shameless these days.”
It was a nice sight. How could a stubborn old man bend his stubbornness? The Medicine King next to me was still murmuring, ‘This can’t be happening’, but he was so beautiful that I wanted to emulate him at least to the last detail.
But why are you looking like that now? … ?
“I understand.”
Geomseong took a step back.
The eyes that were looking at the Annals of the Heavenly Demon were full of regret, but the old man cut it off with his heart and said,
“venomous snake. “This time, this person will give in to you.”
The viper raised its eyes. But that only lasts for a moment. The viper gained even more momentum and grinned. He is like a gambler who wins just the way he wants.
“It will happen soon. “You think you saved your life, old man.”
“no! What, why are you suddenly giving in!? Marcus Callenberg! You’re not the type of person to give something up to others! “No, I don’t want to go!” There was a forbidden scene there that was difficult to describe.
The Holy Knight also looked at the Sword Saint with the same face in a way that is difficult to describe. The Heretic Questioner, who was watching with a bright expression, jumped up and hugged the Paladin’s arm.
“That’s amazing! “You can persuade a paladin and a sword saint!”
“hmm. no. “Geomseong accepted my persuasion.”
“Ahaha, I see! In that case, I’ll have to hug Geomseong!”
“I will firmly refuse.”
Geomseong hit the iron wall. Of course, no iron wall would work against a natural born psycho, so Geomseong had to suffer for a while.
“Really… … “Everyone grows a little bit.”
The witch’s mouth was covered and the sound of laughter was highlighted.
In an atmosphere as if a heartwarming story had been told, three people prepared to go on an expedition to the Apocalypse [The Annals of the Heavenly Demon].
“Tsk. If it’s decided, let’s go quickly, you guys. If you wait, you’ll leak me. Just wait. Anyway, I’m the same as when I was young… … . I can’t help this either. Ha, really. What should I do if I go? “I was repeatedly defeated by that kid’s luck earlier, but I am the king of medicine, known by everyone to be the best pharmacist of all time.”
“Ugh, Death King. I’m scared… … . Is it really okay for someone like me to follow along? Oh, of course, I’m at least better than that medicine lord or something, right? It is a fact that has been firmly proven, like Galileo Galilei’s geocentrism, but strangely enough, that water flea-like old man does not acknowledge the results? Still, something like me… … ”
“Non-combatants there. When fighting, take care of yourself. “A person’s head being blown off is just for a moment?”
“I don’t want to go… … . Change it… … . Grandpa Geomseong, please trade with me right now… … .」
I looked blankly at the expedition members I was joining.
The Geomje spoke in a rare, comforting tone.
-Don’t worry, zombie. If you don’t think so, just throw it away! Whether you get sick or throw yourself off the cliff, turn it back to how it was before today! This reset is something I truly recognize from my soul. Even though I have nothing but a soul now.
I nodded weakly.
“yes… … let’s go… … ”
“Good.”
The Librarian chuckled and snapped his fingers. widely! The Book of Revelation in the hands of the Sword Saint flew into the hands of the Librarian of its own accord. The library director opened the book with familiar movements, as if he had only lent it to you for a short time, but it was originally his.
“Death King, Viper, Medicine King, Alchemist.”
Light emanated from the book.
“I designate the above four people as new characters in [The Annals of the Heavenly Demon]. “When you guys open your eyes, it will be a world 10 days before the Annals of the Heavenly Demon suffered an unfortunate cessation of serialization.”
And light surrounded us.
“I hope you will see a great ending.”
It was the moment when an expedition team without dreams or hopes was dispatched.
etc,
