Main Character Hides His Strength

Deckard was in serious condition.

An elven man named Pagan has the herbs, so he took care of the first aid and gave up one of the difficulties, but Deckard still hasn't recovered consciousness.

“I've worked too hard for this. I need a proper break. Another crucial moment lacked magical power. ”

Akkad was by Deckard's side when he was attacked.

Even if it was just for Claire, they'd be the ones to take care of it easily, but the magic didn't come out for a crucial moment, so they were overwhelmed and allowed fatal wounds.

“The poison is the door. Imp weapons are stained with the filthy venom of Troll dung. Once he's cleaned up all the toxins, some of them are revolving around him and feeding on his life force. ”

The dissection that has been fighting demons since childhood has accurately diagnosed Deckard's condition.

Kim Sung-cheol's opinion was the same.

He immediately went out and searched the ground for something.

Soon after, he found the same plants growing in the cracks of the rock and collected a handful of them.

It is called Solitary Herb, a plant that is rarely seen in this area.

If you sharpen that plant and give it to the affected area, you can relieve some of the Imp venom.

It is one of the knowledge I have learned while living on the front lines.

Even though the effects are trivial, there are no doctors or priests here.

“Are you just going to use it? ”

As you grind the Lonely Plant, Vertelgia suddenly talks to you.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

Then Bertelkia said again:

“If you just use it, it won't work. We don't know what side effects the plants have. Why don't you just use your skills as an alchemist? ”

In a hurry, Bertelgia makes an idle noise.

But then the bear thought about it, and it made sense to her.

The sooner we hurry, the better off we'll be.

Kim Sung-cheol checked Deckard's status.

It seemed like it could hold a little longer.

Kim Sung-cheol came out of the barracks again and smelled the smell of solitary herbs grinded by the trigger.

Then he remembered the pension information about the Solitary Herb.

< Thousand Years of Solitude Herb >

Level: 3

Grade: B

Attribute: Neck

Effect: Antidote, Poison Damage

Note: A precious multi-year pool found on a rocky mountain near the market. It is heavily influenced by the Magic System and contains detoxifying ingredients. But it also has its own toxicity, so be careful when using it!

“Poison in the Solitude Herb. ”

It was true that Kim Sung-cheol didn't know that he used solitary herbs many times but had his own poison in it.

It is also rare and has a unique smell, so it is a grass that is rarely used except for medicine.

“Of course. I grew up confronting the grass that flows from the horse system, but I can't live without poisoning myself." It's a common characteristic of all the other plants growing in the area adjacent to the horse system. ”

Then we need to neutralize the poison.

Kim Sung-cheol took out the Soul Warehouse and spread out the alchemical ingredients he had collected.

The most frustrating thing is always the grass of the blind.

The grass of the blind, which is a tree property, seems to go well with the same tree property, Solitary Herb.

However, as he grasps the blind man's grass with his hand, Bertelkia immediately sits on his hands and turns away.

“Ding!”

“... What are you doing? ”

“Think about it, don't look for the easy way. ”

“What do you think? ”

“Don't just think about getting the poison out of the Solitary Herb right now, but look at the situation as a whole. Like the nature of the poison on Deckard's uncle. ”

“Troll dung poison? ”

“Yeah. That's what we're going to decipher anyway, right? ”

A skewer covered in Troll's dung poison is lying around the floor.

Kim Sung-cheol picked one of them up and checked the smell.

Kim Sung-cheol was impressed with the awful stench, but the pension information in the dung poison clearly came to his attention.

< Troll's Side (Northern) >

Level: 3

Grade: A

Properties: Gold ()

Effect: None

Note: Legend has it that the Trolls of the North are now like livestock from the fallen Zoin Kingdom. Joynes have used their livestock's dung for a variety of purposes, one of which is collecting dung and making iron… Remember that Joynes don't develop a sense of smell that much!

I remembered something about Kim Sung-cheol who saw the information.

“Troll droppings are toxic to rusted iron. ”

Vertelgia swings up and down.

“Yes, that's right. That's it!”

Solitary herbs, grass of the blind, shit of the Trolls.

Kim Sung-cheol, who had seen the three conflicting ingredients, turned his eyes to the other ingredients.

Alchemy items have all five attributes.

Fire, water, wood, metal, and void properties.

With the exception of the empty attributes that exist only in theory, it is not an exaggeration to say that conventional alchemy actually exists as four attributes, but interpolation exists between each attribute.

Fire overcomes both wood and metal, but is rather complex in nature, such as that water property is strong in metal and fire, but weak in tree property.

The constellation may vary depending on the strength of each attribute, rather than being applied uniformly.

Kim Sung-cheol noticed that Troll poop had metal properties.

You need an alchemical item with a fire that beats metal at any time.

However, in order to beat the metal attributes, you need a strong firearm among the fire attributes.

However, there was no flame-retardant material in Kim Sung-cheol's possession that could beat the rest of the metal.

An alchemical item that possesses firearms enough to defeat the metallic attributes had a wooden attribute.

This is the spore seed of the Firewood that was used to make Alchemy Bomb (Black) in Airfurt.

“Well...”

Kim Sung-cheol groaned, touching the rough seed.

I thought to myself, Bertelgia, who was watching him.

‘I'm sure he's talented. Finding the right answer at once out of all those ingredients. Is it sensual, or is it a coincidence? ’

Bertelgia wanted to let her think more about Kim Sung-cheol, but she knows she doesn't have much time.

So she immediately gave her advice.

“Some items change their properties when processed. ”

“I see.”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes flashed.

I feel refreshed that the fog is lifting in one word.

Kim Sung-cheol's hands became quicker.

However, he carefully trimmed each of the seeds, even in a hurry.

He also served as a plus in Bertelgia's eyes.

"I see. I have a gift..."

Even in urgent situations, it's at least the realm of talent for alchemists.

A lazy slob can never become a great alchemist.

Kim Sung-cheol, who trimmed the seeds, ground the seeds to the trigger, added a few more ingredients, and produced red powder through an Alchemy Kiln.

< Essence of Spore Seed >

Level: 3

Grade: B

Properties: Fire

Category: Explosives

Effect: Material for Bombs. Handling Precautions.

I succeeded in turning the tree attribute into a fire attribute.

Kim Sung-cheol once again looked at the ingredients he had.

Solitary Herb, the Grass of the Blind, and the Essence of Spore Seeds.

Recipes were not shown, but some form of Alchemy items were pre-painted in his head.

Experiences and knowledge that have been refined so far have been combined with creativity and being rebuilt into their own.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately started working.

But I didn't rush it.

First, he poured distilled water into the ground stock solution, evaporated the water, and then filtered through the vinegar to collect only the stock solution.

No one taught me that.

The usage of the wooden attribute items has been applied.

This will remove the impurities and leave only the sap with the desired ingredients.

Kim Sung-cheol put the blind man's grass in the kiln and boiled it to make a separate neutralizing agent, then poured the essence of solitary herb sap and spore seeds onto it.

The part he hesitated about was how much of the spore seed's essence he would put in.

“You just need to put some in. That's it.”

At the crucial moment, Bertelgia advised again, and Kim Sung-cheol smiled faintly and shoved a small amount of salt into the alchemy kiln.

And softness.

Grab an Alchemy Spatula and wiggle it inside the kiln.

After a long time, the results came back.

[Combination Success!]

A hard-earned reward.

But the reward seemed to be more than just that.

[You created your own Alchemy item using only your own experience and knowledge without anyone teaching you.]

[A great alchemist doesn't need a recipe.]

Reward: Magic Power +10, Intuition +15

Along with an unexpected phrase, a strange light appeared from Bertelgia's body, and the light came into it toward Kim Sung-cheol like an iron attracted by a magnet.

“Bertelgia. What's this? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked, looking directly at Bertelkia.

“That's one of the trials of creationists. Though I did help out a little. ”

“ ……. ”

It's not just a trial.

Kim Sung-cheol knew precisely that the new force injected into his body had escaped from Bertelgia's body.

as Baal did in the crypt of the Circus.

There's something awkward about it, but there's something else that's important.

Kim Sung-cheol checked the finished items in the kiln.

Antidote

Level: 3

Grade: A

Properties: Fire

Classification: Agents

Effect: Cures Poison. Good for Metallic Poison.

This item is appropriate.

In addition, I received an A.

“Wow! It's Class A, right? Despite being my own recipe for the first time. ”

Vertelgia sways in her pocket.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately went into the barracks with an antidote.

Ackard and Pagan hold Deckard's bottlenecks in the barracks.

“Will you excuse me for a moment? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked for understanding and approached Deckard.

“What's that? ”

When I saw that Akkad was in Kim Sung-cheol's hands, I asked.

“Medicine to save this man. ”

Kim Sung-cheol opened the lid of the antidote and spilled the antidote on the wound around Deckard's neck.

Deckard groans and is tormented.

“Hmmm...”

Akkad's eyes don't look good.

But the papa next to him stopped him.

Instead, he asks a cold, sharp question, unlike Akkad.

“What is it made of? ”

Kim Sung-cheol replied without giving me a single glance.

“Thousand Years of Solitude Herb. ”

The crack nods.

Akkad nodded but vomited.

“Deckard won't be able to take it if he uses the Solitary Herb now. Did you know there's poison in the Loneliness Herb? ”

“This is what got rid of it. ”

Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth and fed the antidote.

Despite most vomiting, Deckard swallows a few drops of the antidote.

And after a while.

Deckard's fever has dropped.

Another tribulation has passed.

*

When winter comes, the Horses enter the Chipper.

Because the Horsemen are weak in the cold.

Of course, the highborn don't nod at the breeze, but the lows.

The lower horsemen, who will be the main force of the Horse Troops, are unable to withstand the cold and are forced to stay in their garrisons.

The Horses are a people who are far from the top athletes.

Thanks to this, there will be short peace on the front lines during the long winter months.

The Punishment Force is no exception.

After taking significant damage in the last raid, the Horsemen have not attacked for a week.

The scouts patrolling the grounds have also reported that the horses have returned to their land covered in ice and fire.

During that peaceful time, Kim Sung-cheol was alone on the rocky mountain at the forefront of the market.

What he's looking for is the entrance to the Underground Kingdom, which is here somewhere.

Deckard, who is now being transported to the rear, says:

The entrance to the Underground Kingdom is somewhere between the Horse System and the Humans.

The location of the eclipse is clearly revealed when the eclipse arrives, but there is still two more months for the eclipse to come.

Kim Sung-cheol couldn't wait until then.

That's why he was searching the rocks alone.

By magically dealing with the remnants of the Horsemen I sometimes encounter.

As he spent his days wading through the rocky mountains, Kim Sung-cheol saw a surprising sight.

It was a view of a ship flying in the sky, a single aircraft, flying over the sky at the forefront of the market.

‘You're not the ship of the Human Empire. Does that flag belong to the Ancient Kingdom? ’

The Ancient Kingdom.

It is the oldest military nation on the continent in human history.

The Ancient Kingdom considers magic as unclean and strictly forbids the use of magic.

Instead, they are systematically raising those who reach extremes in their swords and using them as their main focus.

These are the so-called sovereigns.

Strong powered sorcerers, such as Ganggas Aaron, played a major role in positioning the Ancient Kingdom as a powerful nation in the middle of the continent.

But Kim Sung-cheol knows.

The fact that it is an ancient kingdom that prohibits magic but secretly employs wizards behind its back.

A group of people disembarks from the Ancient Kingdom's airspace.

A small group of 13.

Kim Sung-cheol could see at a glance that half of them were wizards.

"What in the world is the Ancient Kingdom doing here?" ’

The question was solved shortly.

A female wizard with five homuncluses at his feet stands beneath a crack in the rock and chants a spell.

The crack in the rock opens, revealing the cave down like a well.
