It didn’t take long to store all of the enemy’s loot in the inventory.
There was plenty of free space in the inventory, and all you had to do was place your hand to put things in them without having to bother moving them.
This is the situation where we have put in the most items since expanding our inventory.
For a moment, I felt satisfied, like my stomach was full, and I quenched my appetite when I saw Baek Geon next to me, curiously watching me put things into my inventory.
This was because Baek Geon had promised to return the looted goods in this warehouse to the victims.
But soon I let go of my regret.
‘Yes, the things here are bulky and useless and difficult to dispose of.’
The real items are items from a secret warehouse under the owner’s bed. Since Baek Geon did not witness the items he took there, there was no need to spit them out.
Even if you added up the value of all the items in this warehouse, it would not have been worth more than the large chest taken from there.
I looked around the empty warehouse and spoke to Baek Geon.
“Now let’s go back.”
“Yes. It feels like the fire is getting closer.”
Just as Baek Geon said, the light illuminating the warehouse was getting brighter.
We came out of the warehouse, walked around the bridge, and returned to the Yangtze River.
When I met Baek Geon again in front of the warehouse, I had a vague sense that he was alone, but unfortunately, there were no survivors, so Baek Geon became sullen for a while.
When I arrived at Yangtze River, I took out the Chosu Dongbaekjang that I had kept in my inventory and turned toward Sugyochae.
Baek Geon, who was preparing to jump into the Yangtze River, looked at me with a puzzled look.
“Minho? What are you doing?”
“I have to turn off the lights and go.”
Sugyochae, which was on fire, was right next to the river and had a dirt floor mixed with a lot of pebbles, but it was not that far from the forest.
Although it looked like the surrounding area had been cleared to some extent by erecting a fence, enough embers could have flown and spread into the forest.
Even in modern times, when a forest fire occurs, the damage to the surrounding area is considerable. If the fire were to continue like this and spread, the lives of residents in the area could be at risk.
Since I acquired this ability a long time ago, the fire could naturally go out, but I didn’t want to leave it alone and hear unpleasant news later.
‘Let’s try it and test the performance of the Buddhist instrument.’
I lifted the Chosu Dongbaekjang vertically in front of my eyes and inhaled my energy.
Ugh.
A dark brown wooden cane with a shiny finish. The ball, which looked like an ordinary wooden staff with traces of cutting off protruding branches, vibrated weakly through my palm as soon as I inhaled my energy into it.
I felt like I was getting a response, so I poured more energy into it.
‘It does take up a lot of my energy.’
I closed my eyes and concentrated on the sensation I felt for the first time, which was different from what I had felt when using other tools before.
But Baek Geon, who was watching from the side, spoke up.
“Uh… Minho… ?”
“Wait a minute. Just concentrate.”
“No… I want to look back… ?”
Tuk-tuk.
Baek Geon came up next to me and touched my shoulder.
I looked back at him, being careful not to break the internal energy flowing through me.
“What on earth… … .”
What I saw was a huge wall of water.
The water of the Yangtze River rose like a tidal wave and stayed still, dropping water droplets.
“This was also done by Minho… ?”
“I think so.”
Baek Geon couldn’t keep his mouth shut, perhaps out of wonder.
After hearing those words, I could see that the inner energy that I poured into the Chosu Dongbaekjang was connected to the water of the Yangtze River rising into the sky.
“… … Since there is something like this, I am so confident in my actions.”
Wang Jin-bung’s confidence in calling himself Habaek was a force that was understandable to some extent.
I carefully steered the waters of the Yangtze River, taking care not to break my inner energy.
Controlling the water wasn’t that difficult.
Perhaps because it was controlled through a Buddhist instrument called Chosoo Dongbaekjang, it felt as if I was controlling a telekinetic controller that only works on water.
Wow!
As the rising river water moved out of the Yangtze River and toward the water bridge, the consumption of internal energy began to increase rapidly.
“Phew… ”
After taking a deep breath for a moment, I poured my energy into the Chosu Dongbaekjang and shot the river water towards the flames of Sugyochae visible between the trees.
Quaaaa!
Grass and trees along the path were seen being swept away by the river.
To ensure that the river water that reached the bridge was able to extinguish the fire, I deliberately made the river water move around and stir up every corner of the bridge.
For a while, I was able to infuse my energy and swing the Super-Manual Dongbaekjang in the air for a while.
Due to the internal power of the Danjeon, which was almost at its lowest point, the internal power flowing into the Chosu Dongbaekjang was cut off.
‘If I scrape my strength to the bottom for no reason and get an internal injury, I’ll be the only one harmed.’
This is because there were disadvantages such as vulnerability to internal injuries and decreased vitality when the internal energy of the Danjeon fell below a certain amount.
Sigh!
When the controlling power of the Buddhist sphere disappeared, the river water floating in the air immediately lost its shape and fell to the ground.
“Oh… ”
Baek Geon lifted his head, looked at the water bridge, and let out an exclamation.
All the grass and trees in the direction from the Yangtze River to Sugyochae had been uprooted or flattened. It could not withstand the force of the rushing river.
Thanks to this, I was able to check the condition of the wooden fence from afar, and looking at the charred and soaked condition of the wooden fence, it seemed like the fire had clearly gone out even inside.
The proof was that the light visible from the Yangtze River where we were standing had disappeared.
Now I really turned around to go back to Dongdong Lake. Baek Geon followed next to me and asked a question.
“After doing this, what if the fire comes back to life?”
“Then it’s a pity.”
I had no intention of paying that much attention.
I didn’t think it was very efficient, but it showed satisfactory performance. I swiped down the Super Manual Baekjang with the palm of my hand and put it in my inventory.
We left the ruined Sugyochae behind, crossed the Yangtze River, and returned to Dongdong Lake.
Most of the time was spent moving and searching, so when we returned to Dongdong Lake, the sun had not yet risen.
We took out the plunder of the enemy and laid it out in the yard of the government facility in Akyang.
As I was taking items out of my inventory and stacking them up, Baek Geon picked up a board from somewhere.
I asked him what he was trying to do.
“What are you going to use that for?”
“You should leave a record of who brought it and whose item it is.”
After saying that, Baek Geon carved words on the board with his sword.
Roughly speaking, it was written that Turyong would leave behind the treasure he had taken from the enemy and return it to the people who had suffered damage.
“Wait, fighting dragon?”
I felt something strange and asked Baek Geon.
“Why do you have to fight?”
“Of course it’s because of Minho.”
“Me?”
“Because Minho has a nickname called Yeomna Fighting Dragon. Then shouldn’t I just use Fighting Dragon?”
When I saw Baek Geon’s face smiling mischievously as he said that, I burst into laughter.
“I don’t know how much I can achieve if I’m already so obsessed with fame.”
“Just wait and see. Later, my reputation will reverberate throughout the entire central region.”
“For people who have to act secretly, isn’t it better if rumors spread less?”
“I’m only going to rob bad people, so it’s okay! If the rumor spreads, wouldn’t the number of bad people decrease even if it’s because they’re scared?”
We left the yard chatting like that.
And when we arrived in front of Mangyeo Gaekjan, we dispersed to each other’s lodgings. Baek Geon used Gyeongshinbeop and entered through the window of the guest room next to him, and I kicked the ground with my strength and entered the guest room where Namgung Hwaran was sleeping.
widely.
Fortunately, Namgung Hwaran did not wake up and was still asleep when she last checked.
I changed my clothes, lifted the blanket, and laid down next to her.
“Umm… ”
As I tidied up her hair, which had been tossing and turning for a while as I came in, I also closed my eyes for a short nap.
***
“Did you hear the story?”
“What story?”
“Well, they say there was a pile of goods that had been stolen by bandits in the yard of the government office last night!”
“Is that really true? oh my… I heard that Hwang Seobang’s ship was robbed by pirates not long ago… I wish I could find Hwang Seo-bang’s stuff there too.”
“Of course, I already told you that. As soon as he heard that, he ran to the government office without even wearing his clothes.”
“But who returned so many items?”
“I’m not sure either. There were people who said they saw something shining on the Yangtze River during the night… ”
“I don’t know who you are, but you did a great job. We can watch the situation for a while and then launch the boat again.”
“Cancer. Since the waterway has been blocked for a while, we need to increase the scale of commercial travel!”
As I was listening to the conversation between merchants wearing luxurious clothes on the third floor of Mangyeo Gaekjan, someone came up behind me.
“Minho! Have you waited long?”
It was Namgung Hwaran who approached the table I was sitting at with a bright expression. She always had a smile on her face these days, which was nice to see.
“I was just looking at the scenery outside the window.”
“Right? I think it was a good idea to come to Dongdong Lake. I want to visit here again next time I have the chance.”
As she said that, the side of her face looking out was full of life.
I stared at it for a moment, then suddenly came to my senses and took out an item from my inventory.
“Take this here.”
“Huh?”
Namgung Hwaran took the box I gave him with a puzzled look and opened it.
Inside the small, long wooden box was a silver hairpin with a delicately crafted dragon.
“This is… ”
“I felt like I hadn’t done anything special during the trip. It’s a gift.”
“Minho… ”
Namgung Hwaran, who received the silver hairpin, looked at me with tearful eyes as if she was moved. In the end, she couldn’t hold back the emotions that were flooding her and she rushed at me.
Wow!
“Wow.”
“Thank you… But even without this gift, I like Minho the best in the world.”
“Me too.”
As I was held in Namgung Hwaran’s arms, I stretched out my arms and patted her on the back.
Baek Geon, who was waiting behind for security, discovered the silver hairpin woman in Namgung Hwa-ran’s hand. I saw him narrow his eyes and look at me.
‘Just look at this, man. ‘You’re going to fill your pockets later.’
I gave him a wink and then focused again on Namgung Hwaran, who was hugging me.
