The line was almost gone. A soldier who had previously identified himself as Nojin Goewonchang from Mt. Ikgo spoke to me with an uneasy expression.

“Me. Teacher Yu.”

Despite his young age, Goewonchang Noh Jin is a martial arts warrior who wields two spears like a ghost. To put it simply, Jeongsajigan refers to those who act according to their own standards.

Not a particularly evil person, but not a good person either.

Most of these people would move alone or act as swordsmen rather than belonging to any sect or family.

Noh Jin was also one of the famous magistrates.

If you give them money, they will participate in battlefields, hunt monsters, and raid secret areas.

Only to make money.

He is not the kind of person who is particularly crazy about money, but he is a person who, like me, thinks of money as a means to an end.

His purpose is one.

All he wants to do is treat his sister’s illness.

I remembered one of the events you can do when you form a relationship with Shinyi in the bright moon of heaven.

That’s when I found out about Noh Jin.

Noh Jin’s younger sister suffered from a unique disease called jejunmaek. In order to treat the disease, it takes summoning level elixirs and several doctors who can use them very skillfully for several months.

Of course, it costs a lot of money, and maintaining one’s life in a desperate situation is not usually expensive.

That’s why, even though he was fighting for his life, he was wasting all the money he had saved on his younger brother’s treatment and hospitalization expenses.

Even if he came to my guesthouse right away, he ordered a bowl of somen and a glass of cheap rice wine, ate it, and then asked me for advice.

That’s probably why I was quite embarrassed when I asked the question earlier. Other people still came to me after ordering expensive food and drinks.

“The information and knowledge that the teacher provides…is like a fortune to people like us.”

“Yes. Information and relative methods of monsters. You never know how much research you have to do to find out your weaknesses. It’s common for people who don’t do the research to die.”

Another warrior behind me said something. Nojin nodded as if agreeing with him and spoke seriously.

“To provide something like this. Isn’t it a waste?”

What else can I say?

“There is a condition that you get my information, catch the monster, and then sell me some of the materials you can get from the monster.”

“No, not at that level…”

“Noh Sohyeop and others catching monsters is to stabilize the world and serve the people. Even though I have a close relationship with members of the political faction, what big problem would it be to give some of my knowledge to those who want to help and save people?”

“No…”

“A learned person must use his knowledge for the benefit of others. Moreover, all of this will be helpful to His Majesty the Emperor, and furthermore, it will not only be helpful for the empire, the world, and people, but it will also be helpful for me. It would be strange to be paid separately for this.”

“…huh.”

Nojin looked at me, and I smiled at him and said,

“So please come back safely. As you told me earlier, your desperate sister has only eyes for you.”

He bit his lip slightly.

I smiled at him and patted his shoulder.

“No one will ever insult you if they know that everything you do is for your brother. Me too. So, just hold on a little longer.”

“…Yu, Teacher Yu…”

Nojin lowered his head, and I held his shoulders.

“Come visit me whenever you are having a hard time. I’ll buy you a drink when you’re having a hard time.”

“…I will definitely come back.”

Nodding his head, Nojin went out. As I was watching it, I looked around at the others and said.

“Is there anyone you would like to consult with? In addition to questions about monsters, if there are people who have a burden on their mind, I would like to help ease that burden even if it is my fault.”

The day’s work ended only after consulting with a few people after Nojin.

Should we go up now?

When I got up from my seat, Chaejin, who had been waiting for me until late, approached me with a smile.

“It’s so amazing.”

“Information about monsters? Those things just come out when you read the book.”

There are many things you can easily find out even if you look to scholars other than me.

Of course, you have to pay money or do their favor.

But Chaejin just shook her head.

“Not like that. Being able to reach out to others without thinking about anything.”

“Hmm…”

“Because you seem to save everyone. I’m a little jealous.”

I took a step closer to her, smiling helplessly.

“I’m not specifically trying to save you, because this is for my own good. Still, it will be a little more special to you, so I hope you understand.”

“ugh.”

Chaejin, who was slightly puffing out her cheeks, turned her face red. After stroking her head, I went up with her and stopped in front of Chaejin’s room.

“Then have a nice dream.”

“…I hope you have a dream.”

She smiled mischievously and went inside and I headed to the office.

Then I sat down on the chair and closed my eyes.

Among those requesting consultation, the number of martial artists has increased.

And among the martial arts people, the number of monster hunters is increasing.

I asked the question. As white smoke billowed out of my mouth, I remembered our scenario.

ㅇㅇ (117.51): If you have to fight an iron-blooded tree, you must always prepare Dool’s defenses. Since Dool preys on other monsters, we need to at least reduce many of them before the control of the North ends.

okay.

While there is still no movement in the north, the number of monsters must be reduced as much as possible.

And if possible, I need to reduce the number of monsters in the area where I am.

ㅇㅇ (17.141): We cannot ignore gaining favor from monster hunters. Of course, the power of a prestigious political faction or a strong political faction would be higher if you consider the overall military power. It would be difficult to underestimate the know-how they have. Because they are often more helpful when catching monsters.

What monster hunters want is information to deal with monsters.

Therefore, I solved as much information about the monster as was necessary.

Originally, this information could be obtained through books or records, but it can be obtained easily through me.

And that’s just by eating a meal in the guesthouse.

As I am making a name for myself in the martial arts and political factions, it is only natural that the entire martial arts community will start paying attention to me through my activities.

This is especially true since it is the first place to be named after Hongseongmun Gate.

They had to use that reputation to attract more martial artists.

So that they can catch monsters.

Dool, who will fight here, will not be able to summon nearby monsters to strengthen and recover himself.

So what I’m doing now is not just a gesture of good will, but also a way to complete our scenario.

And it’s not a bad thing. Helping each other means.

Of course, this is not the only thing that needs to be done.

Still, you just have to do it step by step.

“Phew…”

I exhaled smoke and closed my eyes.

Let’s hold on a little longer.

The next morning. When I went down to do business, I saw Hyeonhwi out.

Chae-jin, who was standing in front of her, is holding out his hand, and Hyeon-hwi’s fist is seen extending accordingly.

Are Hongseong Shingong’s Gwonsik and Chae a Taijiquan sparring?

I think it would be better to just wait and see as Chae is learning Tai Chi…

“Hmph!!”

The extended fist with low energy is aimed at Chaejin’s hand. The red envelope contained within it. However, Chae-jin waved his hand lightly without paying attention to that, and Hyeon-hwi’s attack only hit the air.

“Hongseong Shingong itself is inherently strong, but it is difficult to ignore Yu too much.”

“Okay.”

The fist that struck the air changes into a martial arts technique and is struck down. As if he hadn’t expected that, Chae-jin opened his eyes wide and retreated, as if in surprise. Hyeon-hwi then attacked Chae-jin, changing his attacks with martial arts, martial arts, and martial arts.

“Yap.”

But that only lasted a moment. Chae-jin simply grabbed the body that was the center of the attack and launched Hyeon-hwi into the air. Before she could get into position as her body spun around in the air, Chae-jin’s hand grabbed her shoulder and brought her down.

-Wudangtang!!

“Pfft…”

“A change in attack is good, but it is easy to put an end to that change. The Heavenly Flower Godkung is a martial art that causes surprisingly many changes, so it would be difficult to deal with it at your current level.”

“I see. Thank you for teaching me.”

“Hehe. What.”

“Okay. It’s difficult with that much change.”

Then I heard a voice from the backyard. When Chaejin, Hyeonhwi, and I looked towards that direction, we saw Geomseong walking there with his signature sleepy expression.

“Are you here already?”

It’s faster than when I came before? As I looked, Geomseong cleared his throat lowly.

“Keuhum. Huh. No, whatever. Since I couldn’t sleep… I thought I’d teach Hyeonhwi some more…”

As time goes on, the voice becomes smaller. I smiled and said to her who was crossing her fingers.

“Then that’s a good thing.”

“That’s right?! Hehehe. That’s right. That’s a good thing. ruler. Anyway, this is how change works. Chae… No.”

Geomseong shook his head and looked at me.

“Can you accept it?”

“Wouldn’t you be better at making vegetables than me?”

“That’s true too. I’ll do it slowly. It should be easy for Hyeonhwi to see too.”

“Then… I understand.”

I nodded and went out to the center, and the Sword Saint also came out that way. I smiled and asked her, who looked oddly happy.

“You probably won’t take him down with one blow, right?”

“The obvious… Now. Take a good look.”

Until the morning business was ready, Geomseong worked with me and taught Hyeonhwi. I guess I gained something in my way. I spoke to Chaejin while she nodded seriously.

“Then I’ll just go in…”

“Oh. Doing business in the morning. Do you also sell alcohol? I’m hungry after running a long way, so I think I should have a drink right away.”

I heard a familiar rough voice, and I turned my head.

No, it wasn’t just me.

Chaejin, Hyeonhwi, and even Geomseong.

The one who drew everyone’s attention with just one word.

“Haha! Teacher Yu! Looking at your face, it looks like you’ve been having a great time! It’s been a while since we last met, shouldn’t we have a drink right away?”

A large middle-aged man casually raising his hand in greeting.

He was the head of Moonwoljeong, one of the ten great powers in the world, and a disciple who became my drinking buddy.
