Chapter 128 – 125 Carton Village
Luarda’s attack was literally a beautiful assault like a leopard.
The problem is that Hwanin has been attacked hundreds of times in the forest labyrinth near Allzot.
Hwanin, who watched without blinking an eye at Luarda, who was about to pounce on her, read the faintly visible range of Luarda’s two arm guards.
‘It’s an assault that would be difficult for ordinary people to block.’
Considering the range of motion of both arms and the expected attack speed, quite a few attacks will be kicked, blocked, or thrown away with that arm.
As it is a diving motion toward oneself, the range that can be covered with both arms is the entire body.
It looks like an infantryman hiding behind a tower shield, and the only way to destroy that assault is to concentrate power on one point and pierce it with your arms.
As if Luarda knew that, she asked with her eyes how you would block this attack, if you could.
‘There are three attack points and six gaps.’
But that’s the story of a normal person.
Hwanin immediately identified and analyzed Luarda’s weaknesses.
‘Deeply stab the collarbone between the left arm and the head, and in the reaction that follows, hit the pit in the stomach, right chest, and then the abdomen, and you’re done.’
After spinning backwards in the air, it would fall to the ground and tremble like a crashed bird.
However, if you look at the elasticity of the body and the view that reads the gaps in action, he must have some skill. Even if attacked, there is not a small chance that it will chew on the attack response and attack with no delay.
At that time, the sparring will surely end by stabbing the neck and between the eyebrows, twisting the balance, and striking the exposed neck.
However, this Dalian is not to win, but to experience some of the battles of the Join tribe.
‘I’ll take the first priority.’
Pook-
=What?!=
At the same time as the assault, Luarda, who tried to swing his claws according to Hwanin’s reaction, failed to respond to the piercing attack like a flash war, and his left collarbone was severely stamped.
The shock pulses through his muscles, paralyzing his left arm.
‘How!?’
He wanted to lift the bar, but at some point it was stamped on his shoulder. What kind of technology was it that you couldn’t even read the movements?
Noticing that Hwanin’s eyes were quiet after the successful attack, Luarda felt a sense of horror and immediately spread his wings and hurriedly retreated.
Luarda, who quickly opened a distance of 10m, looked back at Kantwy and three other diners with a dismayed expression and murmured.
= This…… It’s my defeat. I decided not to use wings.=
Hwanin raised a stick and replied to Ruarda, who rubbed his left shoulder with a bitter face.
“Even wings are part of the body. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t fly. Hmm…… So let’s change the rules a bit. By not moving more than 2 meters with wings.”
Haha…….=
Luarda was able to notice at the calm answer of breathing and breathing.
If he hadn’t backed off immediately after getting the first blow, he would have had to burst out with a glee and declare defeat physically.
And I just belatedly understood how the attack was carried out.
Seeing the movement of his bar with his own vision, he moved it not as a line, but as a point, and took a picture of his shoulder.
The eyes and brain have a harder time understanding the movement of dots than lines. Hwanin’s attack was aimed at such a weakness.
=Hwanin-gong, you were a scary person…….=
At Luarda’s muttering, the audience’s expressions were colored with surprise.
The lake gull clan of Mt Puhed, adjacent to Lake Aleugel, is famous for its ability to easily overpower second-class warriors and fighters, even if they are unemployed.
Luarda is a member of the lake gull family, but she has also awakened and has left the village and is training as a warrior.
What kind of attitude would such a person go into with an ordinary unemployed person?
= This time, I will not be vigilant. Beware!=
Ruarda rushes in and unleashes a barrage of attacks, determined to repay the debt of his first strike.
Round kick, down kick, up kick, down kick, swing kick.
Tadadadak, tudduck, tuck, tadadak, tadadak.
‘Crazy!’
His whole body turned, twisted, and rotated, attacking with his claws and claws like water flowing, but when he couldn’t even brush the hem of Hwanin’s clothes, Luarda was so full of energy that he lost his breath.
Didn’t he knock off all the attacks that were pouring out 2 or 3 times a second with his thin stick?
If you are not fascinated by this fact, you are not an unmanned warrior.
He didn’t have the confidence to stand still and block all of his attacks, but Hwanin was doing just that.
Hwanin carefully observed Luarda’s attack, knocking off countless attacks from the top and bottom, left and right.
‘There are many similarities with capoeira.’
It is a capoeira that spins his body rapidly and delivers powerful blows with that acceleration, but his bloodiness goes beyond capoeira.
This is because of the increased durability and regenerative ability of the body that allows it to attack without taking care of its own body, and because its hands and feet are sharp and pointed like the claws of birds of prey.
But to Hwanin, it’s just a martial art that can be a treat to the eyes.
It’s time to finish slowly.
Luarda’s body reads the axis of rotation, and his legs thump the bar in the direction of rotation! At the same time, Hwanin, who was taken down, climbs over the pole as if jumping with a pole.
Purpuck.
=Kuu!=
The moment Luarda let out a small groan, as if she had hit the bar with Hwanin’s weight on it with her knee, she leaned down in amazement at the sight of the bar smashing in front of him.
Bauung-
Along with the goosebumps, the rod passes overhead, leaving a gap between a single feather.
Luarda, who shrunk her neck at the bloody sound, immediately caught the illusion floating in the air.
‘Chance!’
It twists its entire body like a pretzel, then lifts and kicks Hwanin like a whirlwind with recoil.
Claws that can even scrape steel rush at Hwanin like a blade storm. For a moment, I thought Luarda had overdone her attack, but…….
Bubbeobuck!
= Kkeuhhhhh!!=
That thought did not last even for a second.
Hwanin, who was floating in the air with his legs pointed toward the sky, lightly changed his posture as if he had waited and then threw out the stick indiscriminately.
The problem was that the attacks all hit the joints of the legs, oblique muscles, groin, thighs, hamstrings, and knees.
The attack that kicked up like a whirlwind was helpless, and Luarda rolled on the ground like crumpled paper.
=Nope.=
I have to stand up, but my joints hurt so much that I have no strength in my legs.
Luarda felt her legs tremble like a baby bird, and eventually collapsed to the ground.
=It’s Hwanin’s victory.=
= Well. Unquestionable victory.=
At Asen and Munder’s declaration, Luarda’s head went blank.
How many minutes did it take to win or lose? I think it took less than 3 minutes. When was the last time you lost like this in Dalian?
A shadow fell over his head, and Hwanin’s calm face covered the sky.
“Are you okay?”
= Nope. Ok.=
Dispelling the shock with his innate regenerative power, Luarda smiled bitterly and stood up holding Hwanin’s outstretched hand.
Luarda, who shook off the dust by flapping her two white wings, put her hands on her waist at the shocking result and let out a long sigh.
I thought she was so weak that she wouldn’t be heard anywhere, but it felt like she was being dragged around by Hwanin from beginning to end.
Luarda asked with a complicated look.
= I must have had poor eyesight. Hwanin Gong’s martial arts seem far beyond my imagination.=
“…….”
=It seems that all of your attacks are clearly visible in the eyes of the ball…… Is it true?=
Hwanin didn’t answer, just smiled slightly.
‘Damn. Now that I see it, it’s like a puppy that didn’t know that it was afraid of a tiger and attacked it.’
If what he was holding in his hand was a spear rather than a stick, he would have been shattered long ago.
Hiding her embarrassment, Luarda smirked at the other diners to gain her allies.
= Big. Gee, Sir Munder. Why don’t you try sparring with Gongdo Hwanin? I think Sir Asen will be fine. I bet you have a lot to gain.=
=Before I am a soldier, I am an adventurer.=
=I don’t have the hobby of fighting with vagina~.=
=…… Ok.=
= More than that, Luarda-sama is also insidious. He didn’t want to be embarrassed by himself, so he tried to drag us in. =
=No, it wasn’t that I didn’t have that feeling at all…… It’s no lie that there is a lot to gain. Really!=
As Luarda swore with a solemn expression like an eagle, Asen giggled like a fox and said,
= Then how about sparring with Hwanin-nim one more time? Then I’ll think about it.=
= Good! Hwanin-gong, please teach me a trick!=
The side that has already been sold once, can’t you do it twice?
=Okay.=
The first time I put some recognition for information gathering, but the second time was different.
Babbubuck- Babak, Boom!
=Khehe.=
For two minutes, Hwanin beat Luarda to such an extent that he couldn’t attack like an attack or defend like a defense.
=Kyaa- Ugh.=
Asen, who was dragged out as promised, was beaten in the pit of the stomach, neck, and forehead in one second, and fainted as soon as he started.
As a soldier, his self-esteem was severely damaged, and Luarda sat down and passed out, and Asen, who was passed out next to him.
Munder and Storey disappeared at the same time as Asen collapsed, fearing that they would end up like that too.
Kantwy, who had been watching the scene blankly with a face that did not understand what had happened, looked at him in surprise at the sound of the Phantom calling.
“Mr Kantwee. I have a question about one of the shops in town.”
= Oh, yes. What are you curious about? I’m a bit ashamed to say this with my own mouth, but I know most of what goes on in the village because I occupy the bottom seat of the village commerce meeting.=
While answering, Kant Wei looked at the Hwanin in front of him with disbelief.
Having dealt with level 3 and level 4 jobs three times, he didn’t break a drop of sweat. How could this be?
“It’s about the Yurpa magic tool shop. I visited because I had business, and the clerk just told me that they couldn’t sell the product. I would try my hand at knowing the reason, but it was a little embarrassing because you didn’t tell me the reason.”
=Ah, you mean the magic tool store. It’s not a big deal, but I’ve been bothered by outsiders a lot, so I’m only selling things to villagers.=
“I must have been attacked by several black consumers.”
Haha. A bad complainer is an apt expression.=
Yurpa, who was born in Carton Village and was good at making magic tools, was a person who just liked making magic tools and went to study as a farhist because it was fun.
Thanks to studying abroad for about 20 years, he was a successful Yurpa who built up a position in the Farhist world and even joined the Merchant Guild, but like eccentric people who have achieved good work, he wanted to grow old while making magic tools in a quiet place, so he left Carton. Returning home after 30 years.
After that, Yurpa, who opened a magic tool store in the village, had no intention of making money, so she started selling magic tools of good quality at almost the original price.
Yurpa lived a satisfying well-being for a while.
Her problems started to arise after a year had passed since she opened her sorcery store.
Carton Village is the only village on the road that can be said to be a buffer zone between the small city of Wayford and the capital city of Farhist.
It was always a town with a floating population above a certain level, and the magic tool shop in Yurpa, which was cheap and of good quality, quickly drew attention.
“From then on, an outsider who bought magic tools cheaply came back and caused trouble. While arguing with nonsense.”
=Yes. They made a fuss about using bad ingredients and selling them cheaply by fraud.=
As such things happen several times a year, Yu Lepa, who has lost her studies, hires her clerk and puts her in front of her and starts making magic tools and selling them only to the villagers.
She = She judged that if she was from the same village, she would at least not do the same thing, and that judgment was exactly right. =
“I don’t think it will be profitable.”
=I didn’t stop outsiders from buying it through villagers. Also, some village peddlers took them off and sold them to other villages or villages.=
After changing the sales method, there were almost no complaints. Even if they came in, it was a reasonable level of protest.
The cushioning material of being residents of the same village played its role.
Of course, Yurpa didn’t start trading such guts without taking any action. Every year, she gave a large sum of money equal to 1/10 of the town’s prosperity fund, and with that money, she secured a voice in the town.
While talking, Hwanin, who arrived at the magic tool store, entered the store with Kantwi, and this time, he was able to avoid hearing the parrot-like sound of the Inmyo tribe lady.
=Ah, Mr. Kantwy. Welcome!=
=Yes. Is there anything wrong with the store? Is your sister healthy too?=
= Ajumma is always twisted. But she didn’t know that the customer knew Kant Wie. =
“I thought there was a reason for the lady’s parrot-like answer, so I looked for a solution.”
Hehe. It was a rule set by her auntie, so she couldn’t help it. Will you understand?=
Cute charms didn’t work on Hwanin, but he didn’t show malice, and he didn’t have a reason to be serious about things like this, so he laughed it off with a moderately pretentious attitude.
Even though she was a pretense, no one noticed.
=Come to think of it, I haven’t heard what kind of product Hwanin-nim is trying to buy. What do you need?=
“Trying to carry hundreds of coins is bulky and bulky, but weight is also a problem. I am thinking of purchasing a subspace pouch to use as a suitable coin purse.”
= Oh, if that’s the case, there’s something that’s perfect for you. Sanli, do you have those in stock?=
= Nem. There is something my aunt made a few days ago.=
Having said that, the wife of the Inmyo tribe squatted down under the counter and, after rummaging, put several pockets the size of fists on them.
The design for tightening the muzzle is the same, only the colors are gray, navy blue, green and brown, four types.
Hwanin picked up the plain gray and asked Sanli for an explanation.
=The contents are roughly the size of this box. Reduces weight by 99%.=
“…… Are you saying it reduces it by 99%?”
The box was the size of a shoe box. No matter how small it is, it can bestow a highly effective weight reduction technique, but 99%…… Is it a bit excessive?
Paying 40 or 50 gold coins to buy a bag of coins is a complete turnaround.
Sanli sensed Hwanin’s reluctance and added an explanation.
= It’s not like 100%. Instead, you need to replace the phase stone periodically. Otherwise, it’s just an ordinary pocket. If the energy runs out while using it, of course, what is inside pours out.
“Okay.”
If there are such disadvantages and limitations, the price will be drastically lowered.
“How long does it last in the case of a first-class phase stone?”
= 2 months? Level 2 is about half a year. Level 3 is about 1 year and 3 months. Even if you put several 1st-class phase stones, the energy will decrease the same, so it’s most convenient to put one every two months. You know you shouldn’t put something like an expensive processed phase stone in it, right?=
The cost-effectiveness is exquisite.
Level 1 phase stones, those obtained in a labyrinth where light does not reach, usually cost between 10 and 13 silver coins. Level 2 is about 30 silver coins. Level 3 is 1.8 gold coins.
What matters is the price of the product itself.
“What is the price?”
= 2 gold coins. You may think it’s a little expensive, but the durability and regeneration effect are weak, but it’s there and it has a waterproof effect. If you keep putting the phase stones in and keep the pouch clean, you should be able to use it for decades.=
=I have been using this pouch for 10 years now. I will guarantee the quality.=
Hwanin nodded and asked at Kantwi’s assurance.
“Is there no owner recognition function?”
= A. If you put that option in, you should get 5 gold coins instead of 2 coins.=
That’s right.
Since it was a reasonable price, Hwanin paid 2 gold coins to purchase a sub-space coin purse and looked around the magic tool store to see what items were in stock.
“Yurpa must be a rechargeable enchantment mystic.”
Like a village magic tool shop, there were mainly household items, but the handle has grooves to maintain cutting power + durability recovery kitchen knife, iron lantern, thermal pad, heating plate, telescope, raincoat that perfectly blocks rain and maintains body temperature, and preservation function is attached. Bags, water bags with purification options, and more.
Most of them were objects whose functions were activated by mounting a phase stone.
Among them, Hwanin bought a hot wire plate for boiling water or making food, a telescope, a steel lantern, and two bags of purified water and a preservation bag.
The preservation bag was a 30 liter bag without internal expansion, and the purification water bag was a 2 liter size bag with a weight reduction of 50%, and two of them cost 5 gold coins and 2 gold coins, respectively.
Telescope, heated plate and three lanterns cost 25, 17 and 11 silver coins respectively.
= Do you have a good eye for customers? You only selected popular products.=
“Since they are useful, they must have sold a lot.”
The preservation bag was used for the same purpose that Susa contained Urger’s balls. Needless to say, the water bag, in which the stored water turns into drinking water, is a useful item, and the rest are essential for travel and labyrinth exploration.
All of them can be turned on/off by inserting and removing the phase stone, and are weak but have durability and recovery functions.
Since a single 1st-class phase stone can be used for several weeks (preservation bag) to several months (the rest), it is semi-permanent and cheap, so I bought what I needed.
Sanli smiled like a cat as she put the purchased items in the preservation bag.
= The guest is special. If it’s such a cheap item, it’s easy to doubt its durability or something like that.=
“If the specifications are different from what was described, it is enough to come back later and make them pay the price.”
Hwanin’s voice sounded so calm that it sounded like a joke, but Kantwy, who watched Hwanin’s skills right next to him, noticed that the story wasn’t a joke but the truth and laughed awkwardly.
It’s an unmanned complaint that lightly presses down on a 4th grade worker.
At least it was Kantwie’s candid mind that he did not want to suffer.
At that moment, a woman’s voice resounded from the hallway leading to the back of the store.
=Oh my gosh~ You are a guest who speaks quite boldly~?=
After those words, a young woman wearing a black tube top dress, similar to a witch, walked out of the room.
She was a woman with the aura of at least a 6th-class magician.
