Chapter 116
Larsen realized what a ‘look’ was.
Rook
A rook is one of the pieces in chess. In general terms, a horse is more valuable than a knight or bishop, and less valuable than a queen.
both front and back. As a horse that can move up to 15 squares in four directions at once, it is also called a ‘major piece’ along with the queen.
‘Like the Queen… … A horse that can checkmate alone with the king.’
The word look appeared.
‘If Rosalyn is the look… … .’
Other things could be inferred.
‘Maybe that means there’s also a queen and a king?’
This was a very new interpretation for Larsen.
Of course, we cannot be sure that that ‘rook’ here is a look in chess. There was also a possibility that it was something else unique to this world.
But Larsen felt a strange certainty that the rook here was a chess rook. It was similar to his intuition as a creator.
“anyway. I will definitely keep your secret.”
“… … .”
“And I decided to open my heart to you a little more. I am a bit sorry.”
“… … .”
“Because of that childhood memory, I said I would forgive you, but I never really did. But now it’s real. I won’t bring up that incident in the past again, and I won’t let it affect my feelings toward you in the future.”
It was already 7 years ago. Rosalyn decided to forget it cleanly.
“I didn’t forgive you for 7 years, and I deceived you for forgiving me. So now I’m going to kick it.”
Rosalind’s face was a little red. For Larsen, Rosalind’s change was not bad. This world gave it the nickname ‘Look’. Rook is used as a very powerful horse with Queen.
Larsen laughed lightly.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Thank you.”
Rosalyn frowned slightly. Maybe this situation was a little strange. It was all the more so because it was the first time he had ever had a conversation like this with Larsen.
“Anyway, the folding screen. Let’s go. I’m curious about what kind of arrangement the head of Mayton has prepared.”
Rosalyn took the lead and started walking. My steps were especially fast today.
* * *
It seems that it was not a lie when they said that martial arts masters would clear the way first. Except for the unusual species like ‘April White Wolverine’, I didn’t meet any monsters in the unprotected area.
Byeongpung Rock.
It is a huge rock located on Mount Serk.
It was named after the rocks spread out wide like a folding screen, and it was a gigantic rocky cliff with a width of 7,000 meters. Surprisingly, this cliff is a single rock, which has been recorded as the largest rock in the world.
said Larsen.
“Hampton. You are resting in the nearest protected area.”
“all right.”
I want to follow, but I can’t. Because Decatra said. Rosalyn and Larsen, only the two of them can enter. Hampton had no choice but to follow suit.
Hampton bowed.
“There is a small town about 2.2km to the south. There’s a fountain in the middle of it, and I’ll be staying at an inn near it. Please come back in good health.”
“okay.”
Hampton put something in Larsen’s hand.
“This is an antidote for paralytic poison. Mix with water in a 2:1 ratio… … .”
“And this is a medicine that brightens your vision. Poison of the sensory system… … .”
“This is a potion of melted grass called Martu, which amplifies the specific smell you want… … .”
“And this… … .”
He kept taking out something and giving it to Larsen, but in fact, Larsen could not memorize all of these things.
“it’s okay.”
What he had already received was put into subspace, but he rejected the rest.
“You are the only one for me. Decide what you want to give the most.”
“That, that… … .”
Hampton thought for a long time before sticking out one. It was a faded ring.
“what’s this? I don’t think it’s an antidote.”
“It is a keepsake of my grandmother.”
“A keepsake?”
“It is said to be a ring containing a strong desire to protect against poison.”
There was no magical device to speak of in this ring. Hampton would be well aware of that fact. Larsen accepted the ring.
“good.”
After receiving the ring, Hampton was sent to the city. Rosalyn asked.
“Can I take that? It’s your grandmother’s keepsake.”
“I need this to put Hampton’s mind at ease.”
In fact, Hampton would not have thought that Larsen would understand everything, given so many medications.
“Hampton just wants to give me the best he can.”
“So you got Hampton’s valuables?”
“huh.”
Rosalyn looked at Larsen.
“I really don’t know.”
“what?”
“I can’t tell if he’s a warm-hearted guy or a terribly cold-hearted guy. Sometimes it looks like a machine from the magical civilization, but at other times it seems to be overflowing with humanity.”
“Isn’t that my charm?”

Larsen giggled and Rosalyn frowned.
“Charm is a piece of cake.”
But deep down, I had to admit it. For Rosalind, Larsen was a mountain to overcome, her closest rival, and a charming friend.
Rosalyn changed the subject.
“To go up to Byeongpungbawi, you have to climb Mount Serk.”
“know.”
“Although the topography of Mount Serk itself is rugged, I can’t just climb it because there are countless illusion magics and phantasmagoria spread all over the place. know?”
That is the characteristic of Sercic acid. Larsen nodded. A wide and mighty mountain. I read this vast mountain with Cheonan, making even the large folding screen rock look like a small rock.
[Sercic acid]
The name is, of course, Serk Mountain. that top. I looked up at the folding screen.
[Byeongpungbawi Rock]
However, Larsen felt strange at the folding screen rock.
‘uh?’
It was only for a moment, but some letters passed by on the folding screen rock. It was so short that I couldn’t read it. However, certain letters appeared very briefly and then disappeared.
‘That letter is obviously… … .’
The letters were in Korean.
‘Kirtel. Is it related to Alberto?’
I thought maybe it could be. If you think about it like that, there was another corner that made sense.
Numerous phantasmagoria and illusion magic that exist in Serk Mountain. Traps that look like someone set them up on purpose. Perhaps this is a remnant of the fight that Alberto and Kirtel risked their lives for.
Otherwise, there would be no way there could be enough traps to fill this huge mountain.
‘Alberto is a forgotten great sage. If you think so, the reason for the existence of magic traps in Serk Mountain may have just been buried in legends.’
I heard Rosalyn’s voice.
“What are you doing? Are you listening to me?”
“Ah oh. What did you just say?”
“We need to find the mountain keeper clan. I just can’t go up.”
“You’ve been studying hard.”
As if Rosalyn took this much for granted, Heng! she snorted.
“of course. The head of Mayton commissioned me. It’s natural to study for a request.”
“That’s right.”
Larsen laughed unconsciously. To be honest, Rosalyn was cute. She wasn’t cute as a woman, she just looked like a little niece.
Of course, the mental age is quite different, and the Rosalind Larsen sees is only 13 years old. In terms of Korea, he is an elementary school student.
An elementary school student pretending to be proud, saying, ‘I studied this much!’, to Larsen, a man of mental age, it was just cute.
“what? Why are you laughing so much?”
“just.”
“Do not laugh. it’s annoying.”
“why? Are you not letting me laugh at will?”
“You seem to be laughing at something.”
“I am not laughing. It’s just because it’s unique.”
“That word annoys me even more.”
“sorry.”
“Don’t apologize!”
Rosalind seemed to want to be recognized as a ‘legitimate rival’.
As the conversation progressed, Larsen wanted to make fun of Rosalyn, but held back. The first thing to do is to approach Byeongpungbawi.
“So, how are you going to find the mountainkeeper clan?”
“The mountain keeper clan likes gold coins. They said they would faithfully guide you as long as you paid them enough money.”
“That’s right.”
The Mountain Keeper clan is a clan that appears frequently.
They live wandering like wanderers at the entrance of a mountain with a steep mountain slope, and guide those who want to climb the mountain.
A clan with extremely developed senses of smell and sight, and excellent stamina and strength. They were also a clan with a very high affinity for ‘mountain’.
It was a human by classification, just like a human except for the fact that it had green hair and eyes.
“Then how are you going to find the mountainkeeper clan?”
“They said they wandered around the entrance of the mountain. If you search the entrance of the mountain, you should be able to find a clan of mountain keepers.”
“This wide place?”
Larsen laughed.
“No matter how much the mountain keeper clan wanders around, where in such a vast land do you think you will blindly search for them knowing when and when they will meet?”
Larsen ended up making fun of Rosalyn. She wiggled her index finger left and right.
“Did you learn from books?”
“… … .”
In theory, that is correct. If you want to meet the mountain keepers, that’s the best way… … It is known. However, theory and practice are always different.
“It is not bad to learn from books. That’s basic.”
In fact, in this world, that’s close to the best. There are no cell phones and no computers here.
There is no YouTube or intellectuals. Books are the best way to acquire knowledge. It is true that Rosalyn Tanye did her best. The best was just a little laughable from the Creator’s point of view.
“So you mean there is another way?”
“Yes.”
Actually, there is a different way people call the mountain keeper clan. It’s not in the textbook, though.
“Their characteristic is that they have a very developed sense of smell. And they respect each other’s territory.”
“… … .”
“In other words, we respect each other’s lifeline. But look around. Are there signs or something that marks the territory?”
“… … I don’t think there is.”
“Then how would you tell them apart?”
Larsen moved closer to a tree.
“You won’t find it in textbooks, but their urine smell is famous. However, a normal human nose cannot smell it.”
“How could that be… … ?”
“Their urine is also used as a magic ingredient. The martial arts masters probably don’t know, right?”
said Larsen.
“I’m going to pee here, can you turn around for a second?”
“… … .”
Rosalyn turned her back.
“You can just ask for your back. What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t it natural that I should fully explain my actions to my colleague?”
Rosalyn was at a loss for words. Larsen is right. It’s all right, but I was strangely annoyed.
“So, if you pee, the mountainkeepers will come to visit you?”
“This alone is not enough. The smell of my urine is weak compared to that of the mountainkeeper clan.”
“then?”
“Didn’t you hear what Hampton was saying earlier?”
Only then did Rosalyn know what Larsen was up to.
‘Martoo Potion!’
[This is a potion of melted grass called Martura, which amplifies the specific smell you desire. It is useful when you are in distress in the mountains, and it is a very useful potion when requesting rescue.]
Larsen grinned. Sprinkle Martu potion on the wet tree with Larsen’s urine.
Larsen covered his nose. The smell of urine amplified by the Martu Potion was very nasty.
“You can wait now. They’re a clan that smells amazing, so they’ll show up soon.”
“In this wide place… … does that happen? There was nothing like that in the book.”
“of course. Who would put such a vulgar method in a book?”
Rosalind looked back and forth between Larsen and the tree, looking slightly suspicious.
‘really… … Are you showing up?’
A clan wandering in this vast mountain? You say you smell pee and come to me? is that real? Wasn’t there anything like that in the book? Is it too different from what I know?
‘Strange. This is strange.’
But then, strange things started to happen.
