Main Character Hides His Strength

The Salvation Crusaders set up camp at the top of the Punishment Force's camp.

Labor was the servant's.

The sound of pegs and workers' shouting echoes from place to place.

The needless Salvation Crusaders gathered together to share their discourse or to look around.

Even at the tent where Sung-cheol Kim is practicing alchemy, several members of the Salvation Crusaders came to visit.

Three men, two women.

He's young.

It appears to be the generation of the end who barely escaped the curse of extinction.

One of them finds the pension kiln and is excited to invite his colleague into the tent.

“Look at this! Here's an Alchemist! ”

“What? There's an alchemist in this place? Amazing.”

“Let's see what you make. ”

Kim Sung-cheol was holding on, but I didn't mind.

It was because I saw the prisoner number attached to Kim Sung-cheol's shabby coat.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at strangers and continued his work.

What he was making was an Essence Pot, a four-level Alchemy Item.

The pot made of clay from the horse system and old soil from the south is said to have the power to purify any dirty water with drinking water.

This item is very useful in a horse system where it's hard to get clean freshwater.

Moreover, the level of Alchemy items is enormous 4.

A very high level item in the realm where alchemy is underestimated.

Huff, puff, puff.

Kim Sung-cheol stepped on the windmill with his expressionless face and strengthened the burning flame beneath the alchemy kiln.

The pot in the kiln with the lid on it starts to be baked and has a solid shape.

After the pot was baked to some extent, Kim Sung-cheol opened the lid.

The steam inside the volcano comes out with a terrifying force.

Kim Sung-cheol put a spatula in the pot with the pot and stirred it.

Stirring the Alchemy Kiln with an Alchemist's spatula was more about giving Mana to Alchemy items and bringing them to life as an alchemist than just mixing ingredients.

I didn't know it at first, but after experiencing it, I learned it naturally.

In fact, the spatula touched the pot, but did not touch it.

The spatula penetrates the pot as if it existed in a pot and other worlds, just shaking the kiln floor.

It was a miracle that happened in a small kiln, but it didn't look too big to the spectators.

“That's not funny.”

“Isn't that a useless pot I did something with? ”

“I thought you were building a bomb. ”

“Cheap. ”

The spectators left, spreading their generosity.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's pride, which had recently been a rising star, had collapsed.

And that was reflected in the results.

[Softening Failed!]

With a loud bang, the pot in the kiln shattered into black powder.

“Son of a bitch…! ”

Kim Sung-cheol's face distorted and turned towards the direction where the Nine Crusaders disappeared.

“Whoa. Calm down. ”

Bertelkiah shakes his head in his pocket.

“Failure is the mother of success! A true alchemist makes Wise Man's Stone in a noisy market! ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol clammed his mouth and went outside the tent.

The passing sergeants saw Kim Sung-cheol and greeted him.

“Hey, alchemist! How's it going? ”

“Moderately.”

Kim Sung-cheol went behind the tent.

Behind the tent was another brazier and a countertop.

From time to time, it was a dedicated kitchen where Kim Sung-cheol would cook.

After a thorough look around, he pulls the ingredients out of the Soul Bank.

It was a prophecy made of the blood of Mandragora Kimchi and Mansensu who was beaten to death in a small pot.

Man-soon meat is as tough as leather, and a crunchy, bursting, unpleasant taste tumor makes it hard to eat, but a prophet made of the fresh blood of freshly slaughtered Man-soon water is a very good food.

He first placed the ingredients on the shelf next to the counter, then headed to the Ration Depot with 3 bottles of Lesser Healing Potions.

“What? Another trade? ”

The warehouse manager with the prisoner number 132 looked around at Kim Sung-cheol's healing potion and gave some of the timber to Kim Sung-cheol.

The bodies of dried sausages, ham, and other unknown birds nearby were exchanged for 3 bottles of healing potions.

Kim Sung-cheol went to his barracks with the exchanged ingredients and started cooking.

Cooking was nothing.

Place the bone of a live bird in the broth separately, flip the lid of the Alchemy Kiln over like a cauldron, and sauté the noodles.

When the water seeds are cooked to some extent and the juice is spilled, make the kimchi, sausage received earlier, and ham are cut and boiled with broth made from the bones of a bird on top.

When it starts to simmer, add seasoning and season.

A horse stew with a front line.

However, Kim Sung-cheol's cooking was not very popular in Young Jin.

It's because the pagans used a lot of spices that made them strange.

Once tasted, the assessment will be different, but the Punitive Force soldiers have not been adventurous in finding new food.

Kim Sung-cheol did not mind this assessment.

He cooks for himself anyway.

But as I was about to finish cooking, strangers appeared.

Someone did this, but it was the five tribesmen who played candles in alchemy.

“Huh? What kind of alchemy is this? ”

A blonde girl full of freckles opens her mouth suddenly after seeing the boiling machete stew.

"Alchemy..."

By "alchemy" and "fine cooking," I mean she doesn't see Kim Sung-cheol's cooking as a dish.

“Something doesn't smell right. Are you making dangerous objects? ”

A blonde boy with an earring on his face blocked his nose and made a disgusting face.

The guys next to him shouted.

“You look like you're eating. Look at that. There's a piece of ham and sausage floating on top of the soup. ”

“Ugh."

The conversation of the five tribes ended up in Sung-cheol Kim's ears.

Kim Sung-cheol felt an unprecedented humiliation.

‘How dare you make such an assessment in front of a high-end cook. At best, the nobles don't have any arrogance. ’

In terms of cooking skills, Kim Sung-cheol is more important than the royal court chef.

A dish that is a rare class. It's not everyone's job to win a high-class, high-end chef.

In fact, Kim Sung-cheol had to put a lot of effort into becoming a fine cook and was very proud of his cooking.

Those five tribes are laughing at Kim Sung-cheol's cooking.

Vertelgia whispers as she shakes her body strongly noticing a major reaction to Kim Sung-cheol's heart.

“Hold on. Whoa. Whoa. Relax.”

However, Bertelgia's words did not reach Kim Sung-cheol's ears.

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head toward the five tribes.

An untouchable heavy energy emanates from his body.

The five tribesmen felt an ominous aura and were stunned by the sudden change in atmosphere.

Kim Sung-cheol slowly opened his mouth.

“Take a look at it. ”

He proposed to the five tribesmen, picking up some seedpods, ham and sausage pieces from the ladle.

“Take a bite. ”

Suddenly, Kim Sung-cheol's recommendation solidified the face of the five tribes.

Kim Sung-cheol continued to recommend it.

“Hey, you should try it sometime. Isn't my cooking delicious? ”

Despite Kim Sung-cheol's repeated recommendations, the atmosphere of the five tribes was only cold.

“Let's go.”

As the blonde man coldly spoke, the other four turned around without hesitation.

You hear a blazing voice behind their backs.

“You can't eat that. ”

“I won't eat it even if you give me a dog. ”

Kim Sung-cheol was not angry.

Rather, he was just smiling.

“You're reluctant to cook a fine cook. You're wasting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Kim Sung-cheol returned to his seat and swallowed.

The soy sauce, which is as soft and sweetened as the green tofu, melts on the tongue and fills the taste of hard chewing sausage and ham, and the soup is covered with sour and deep flavor of kimchi.

A truly delicious aroma that unfolds in the mouth.

Kim Sung-cheol smiled satisfied.

‘I scored 87 points. ’

However, ratings by class were not very high.

[This dish scores.... 34 points.]

"I don't know who the class monitor is, but I'd like to see his face. ’

Kim Sung-cheol thought so and took out the spirit he received as supplies and took a sip.

The delicious energy left in your mouth and the feeling of stabbing down your stomach with alcohol is truly comforting.

I feel like my fatigue has run away at once.

‘How dare you insist on something so delicious. What a pity. ’

When I was eating like that, I felt someone's gaze.

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head to see if the five tribes had come back. There was a strange person there, not the five tribes.

This one...

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of this.

Looking at him was a blonde boy who looked like the head of the Salvation Crusade and a woman who looked exactly like him.

“I thought it smelled funny, but it was the Summoner's dish. ”

The young man approached Kim Sung-cheol and stared sharply at the horse stew in the boiling pot lid.

Kim Sung-cheol gazed at him without a word.

He was still a young and delicate face, but he had both discretion and courage in his eyes.

‘You look pretty tough. I don't know what it's like in practice. ’

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the woman standing behind the young man.

Like a young man, she was already staring at Sung-cheol Kim with pale blonde hair and blue eyes.

The moment his eyes met, Kim Sung-cheol recalled a sharp blade.

‘You're a lousy sister compared to your age. ’

While Kim Sung-cheol was inside reviewing strangers, the young man who was observing Kim Sung-cheol's cooking opened his mouth.

“Hmm. This red soup. And a pungent smell. This is like a dish served by the Iron Knights. ”

“ ……. ”

“But that dish was no good. I was forced to eat it, but it was hot and irritating. It was like I was looking at the Iron Knights themselves. ”

“So what do you want to say? ”

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly said while sipping a sip of alcohol.

He said he wouldn't even touch the dog while eating, but it made him feel uncomfortable because he was hanging around.

The tail of the young man's mouth rises slightly, and the hand of the woman standing behind it points toward the hilt of the sword.

A deep breath emanates from her body.

Then the young man's hands stopped the woman.

“Sofia, stop. I'm the one who apologized first. ”

He lowered his head slightly to Kim Sung-cheol to apologize for his rudeness.

“Excuse me, soldier, I don't know your name. It smells so exotic, I didn't even know I was baptized. ”

Even Steel Gas commander Aaron, who dealt with bugs, apologized to the unwanted.

It was a surprise.

He's better than he looks.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so, and spread the seeds, sausages, and soup on the ladle and gave it to him.

“Don't just apologize. Try to catch it. ”

The young man's face became slightly stiff due to Kim Sung-cheol's sudden behavior.

“Brother.”

The woman who was standing behind him approached the young man with a worried face.

She yelled, staring at Kim Sung-cheol.

“Hey, Summoner! Who the hell are you to be sniffing around this crap? ”

Her sword was drawn halfway through.

Kim Sung-cheol smiled bitterly and took the ladle back to the cauldron, looking at the shining blade in the light.

“If you don't want to eat, don't. ”

The face of the woman who heard it reminded me.

“This one...”

Then the young man once again stopped the woman.

“Sofia, that's enough. How long are you going to be hysterical? ”

Unlike a woman with a lot of poison, the young man sat comfortably next to Kim Sung-cheol.

“May I try this? ”

Kim Sung-cheol smiled faintly and put the contents of the ladle into a small bowl.

He looked mysteriously and stared at the contents of the bowl for a while.

“It doesn't taste good when it's cold. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

“Brother, you shouldn't eat that. ”

The young man laughed and drank Kim Sung-cheol's dishes in a heartbeat.

Rather than eating a dish, it seemed to forcefully swallow something I didn't want to eat.

It's a young man's distinctive object.

The man's face stiffens like a stone after chewing a few times with a magic pot stew in his mouth.

The face of the young woman who saw the scene was blue.

“Brother!”

At that moment, a small elastic burst from the man's mouth.

“Huh…?! ”

Kim Sung-cheol folded his arms and gladly watched the man change.

‘I made it. It can't be tasteless. ’

The young man who had a strange look said with an excited voice, looking back with a happy face.

“Delicious!”

The atmosphere changed.
