< Jongno Black Market 1 >

Hyun-seok thought for a moment that I should pretend to know. But now I don't have to. They found a stone there, too.

I turned my head to stare at the stone at a moment that was so subtle.

“Huh? How did you get here? ”

Hyun-seok smiled and replied.

“I need to dispose of something. What about you?”

Instead of answering, Ji-hye looked at the stone with a strange eye. I didn't think I'd see you here. No, I didn't know you knew about the black market in Jongno.

‘Well, there were some mysterious corners. ’

She smiled brightly and postponed the answer.

“I need to ask you something. It's hard to get, so I came here just in case, but I don't think so. ”

"Hard to find"? ’

Hyun-seok said that for a moment, but I saw Ryu Ji-hye's face slightly darkened.

I don't know what it is yet, but I think I can save it enough with a string of strings. If not necessarily, you can tell me what to replace it with.

The future Dungeon Management Center is a precious body to be added to the Korean regional head, but if you make it hard enough, it will also remain a business owner.

‘Well...... I don't know what happens next. ’

Maybe if we ignore her like this, she'll follow a predetermined path. However, the story changes a bit from the moment Hyundai intervened.

Her future is significantly more likely to change. He was a special person who knew the future.

“What are you looking for? ”

I asked as if a stone had passed by. It felt good to answer or just give up neatly.

Ryu Ji-hye smiled awkwardly and replied.

“Heh heh. Holy water. ”

“Holy water?”

“You've never heard of it? It's very hard to come by, so it's not well known. And every holy water found in my country is controlled by one person. ”

There's no way you haven't heard of it. At this point, the only person who knows more about Holy Water is Hyundai.

I could tell him to recite about the history of the holy water. Holy water has been used that much in the future and has been researched and developed for a long time.

“What are you going to do with Holy Water? Are you in any pain? ”

Ryu Ji-hye's eyes were frozen.

“You know what?"

Hyun-seok smiled.

“Anyone who's ever played a game knows their name. ”

Hyunseok said so and thought about the early history of holy water.

‘So... It was made with holy water in the beginning...' ’

Hyun-seok mutters with a glimmer in his eyes.

“The elixir?”

Of course, the word "prototype" was omitted in front of him.

The first thing humans studied with holy water in the beginning was a cure with it.

Continuously researching the Elixir, the first successful cure, we were able to create an elixir with truly exceptional performance.

And the early elixir, the prototype elixir, eventually became a drug called potion.

Of course, the potion was also a development type of prototype elixir.

There were two types of healing potions and manapotions: healing potions are excellent for trauma and manapotions are excellent for restoring magic.

Since both potions are holy water, drinking healing potions can be very weak in restoring magic, and eating manapotions can really help healing trauma.

Thinking about that, Ryu Ji-hye's eyes burst open with muttering words.

“Do you even know the elixir? That's something very few people really know...... ”

Of course, we haven't been able to identify the side effects and the precise effectiveness just yet.

“I don't think I have enough pain to use such medicine.... ”

The elixir developed at this time was more detrimental than magical. Of course, we don't even know that yet.

However, there was no obvious trauma to Ryu Ji-hye's body.

“Do you have any scars in the unseen? ”

Ryu Ji-hye shook her head with a bitter smile.

“It's not me, it's my sister. ”

“Sister?”

Hyun-seok was a little surprised that she didn't know she had a brother. By the time she became the head of the Korean field office, she was half-blood.

Hyun-seok only fitted the picture a bit.

‘So...... I guess my brother died while being tied to an elixir at the Management Center. ’

It was clear that the nature of Ryu Ji-hye at that time and the nature of Ryu Ji-hye now were very different. Without a magical pattern, it would have been hard to believe she was the same person.

‘Something must have changed with my brother's death. ’

whether it's nature or life, whether it's life's purpose.

“Where does it hurt, looking for the elixir? The elixir isn't as powerful as the name suggests. ”

Ryu Ji-hye hesitated for a moment. It seemed difficult or reluctant to say. Hyun-seok was just as bold as if she didn't care whether she spoke or not.

It rather stimulated her mind. She opens her mouth slowly.

“Dungeon disease. ”

“Dungeon bottle? ”

In a completely unfamiliar name, Hyun-seok tilted his head. Was there such a disease? The name dungeon is clearly related to the disease, but Hyun-Seok has never heard of such a disease.

“Non-players are affected by the wrong exposure to dungeons. If you don't eat Elixir regularly, you will have more seizures. The doctor said...... that if you don't stop the seizure in time, you'll die. ”

She insisted on trying to keep a bright smile.

Hyun-seok didn't realize what the disease was until he heard her explanation.

"Magic addiction."

I don't know what it was, but it was called a dungeon soldier. It's a very rare disease, but Elixir will never help with it. No, it exacerbates the disease.

The base of the elixir is holy water. And holy water was a liquid of high magical strength.

The use of magic power on a Magic Addict will, of course, temporarily improve the symptoms. But that's no different than drinking to an alcoholic.

If we keep feeding elixirs like this, they will die without overcoming the symptoms of addiction.

Hyun-seok knew one of the most obvious solutions to magical addiction. But it was a question of whether we could succeed.

When I thought about it, I had to worry about my face.

Ryu Ji-hye curiously stared at such a stride.

‘I don't think you're worried... Are you worried? What are you thinking about? Do you have Elixir or Holy Water? ’

A light flashed into Ryu Ji-hye's head. If so, we should at least get it by hanging from the crotch.

Although Chul-kyung Hoon held the distribution of all the holy water in his hands, there was still a certain amount of holy water that he could give to Ryu Ji. There were not that many sheep.

Her sister, Ryu Hye-yeon, on the other hand, wanted more and more elixirs. I literally had my back wheeled.

“Do you... have an elixir or holy water?" ”

Hyun-seok quickly wakes up to her question and shakes his head.

“That's not it……. ”

Ryu Ji-hye's expression changed at times. Hyun-seok sighed as he watched it.

“Phew. I think I know what the disease is... from my brother... ”

Ryu Ji-hye made a curious face.

“I just told you. Dungeon Bottle... ”

The stone shakes its head. And I looked around.

“First... … let's finish the ball and move on. Somewhere quiet.”

Ryu Ji-hye nodded her head unknowingly because her expression and expression were unusual.

Then I stared at the stone in horror.

‘It's really...... definitely not a normal person. ’

She decided to follow the string with just that judgment.

Lee Ji-hye walked side-by-side with Hyun-Seok in front of him.

And the quarterback follows him from a distance behind.

I wasn't too worried about Hyun-seok. This was the black market. It wasn't a place for anyone to come in, and it wasn't a place for any kind of refusal.

It was the black market that did not have any influence on the management center. If they insist on fighting, the country will be overwhelmed.

If that were the case, it would only be the cardinal warning that gave him cause, but he couldn't take that risk.

The black market was a huge underground space where merchants bought and sold items with small booths, each with a special set of items.

What Hyun-Seok was looking for was the stable. I was going to make money to dispose of all the horseshoes I had and invest it in prospective shareholders again.

Perhaps if you came back from following the plan, you wouldn't have to worry about money until you were dead.

Hyundai quickly passed through a complex alley consisting of booths.

Ryu Ji-hye almost lost her march because she was walking fast.

So the person who was chasing him would be dead. His footsteps became urgent. But in the end, he lost his appearance.

“Damn. If I don't do this right, I'm gonna lose my mind." ”

He hurriedly searches around for the stone. And as soon as he disappeared, a stone appeared in the booth next door.

“Thank you.”

Hyun-Seok greets the owner of the booth, and he shakes his hand with a smile.

“I'm the one who gets paid. Use it again whenever you need it. ”

Ryu Ji-hye was astonished at the appearance of the stone that moved away from the man's direction.

“How did you know that? ”

Hyun-Seok looked closely at Ryu Ji-hye asking such questions and looked again.

“Everyone in the black market knows. ”

Ryu Ji-hye pouted her lips in the appearance of a string saying it was nothing. Then what is it about you that doesn't even know it when you walk into the black market?

“Sometimes I look back and forth. They just look ahead and run. They don't know what's around them. ”

Ryu Ji-hye looked at the stone with surprised eyes. Sometimes, when I saw this, I really did not look like a man five years younger than myself.

Hyun-Seok smiled and hurried to walk, seeing Ryu Ji-hye reacting like that. We had to divide the stable as soon as possible before the Watchers got here.

Ryu Ji-hye was surprised and surprised while following the Hyundai. I was surprised once again by the endless horseshoes coming out of his backpack, and was also surprised to see him selling them so skillfully.

Hyun-Seok was like a man who traded professionally in the black market. I sold the tabletop at a generous price without losing a bit against the merchants in the black market.

“What... how many stables do you have?" Oh my... Here we go again. Is it still there? ”

Moreover, this time, the cobblestone appeared to be twice the size that had been sold so far.

‘At least 2000 hp. If we sell those here, we'll make 700 million. ’

Since it was not yet easy to find good quality horseshoes, the high magical horseshoes were rising in price to the government.

As soon as the stone quartz came out, merchants popped out of two nearby booths and grabbed hold of the stone's sleeves. And they fought each other's eyes out.

The stone in his hand was an attractive property that was hard to see in the black market.

The stone holds its sleeve and pulls another stable stone out of its backpack. It was the same stable stone.

There was fire in the eyes of the merchants.

“Now, I want you to give me a price. ”

The merchants' faces rotted in the words of the stone. But then the fire started popping up again.

I looked at each other with a look like I was going to buy it.

The End
