Main Character Hides His Strength

30. Matchmaking (1)

Day of departure.

The weather was unbelievably clean.

More than 300 members of the Punishment Force, more than 300 members of the Savior Crusade.

In total, up to 600 troops rose on their journey to the Magic Cube in the bright morning sunshine.

It takes three days' walk to the entrance of the horse system.

The first terrain encountered is a rugged mountainous area in the jurisdiction of the storm front.

Strong gas Aaron has been paying particular attention to scouting, as there are good locations for ambushes everywhere.

Kim Sung-cheol had scouted a few times, but there was no ambush by the demons he was worried about.

Even if there were, it was reported that Kim Sung-cheol had been smashed and was not there.

After a careful march, by the end of the mountain range, the sun had already spread across the western mountains.

It is not wise for the demons to act in the darkness they like, so the strong gas Aaron ordered immediate proficiency.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol, who finished preparing for his stay faster than anyone else, was wandering around the mountain range outside of Yeongdaemun.

While there seems to be nothing above the red snow after sunset, Kim Sung-cheol's razor-sharp gaze finds a leaf with his head spread over the red eye.

Kim Sung-cheol opened his eyes and collected the grass that was hidden inside.

When I smell it, information about the grass comes to my attention.

Pool of Blind

Level: 1

Grade: A

Attribute: Neck

Effect: None

Note: This grass is commonly seen on the side of the road, but has a mild nature that neutralizes the properties of the alchemical ingredient that became polar.

A field of blind people scattered all over the world.

Kim Sung-cheol has been collecting a lot of things.

However, if there is anything different about the Grass of the Blind here, it is the rank.

It is a very A grade.

“Oh.”

“What do you think? Like I said? Blind Grass grows well everywhere, but the rougher the environment, the more effective it becomes! ”

Kim Sung-cheol threw the harvested blind man's grass into the sack of the lost horse and found another target.

Another blind man's grass is hidden in the snow pile.

Kim Sung-cheol's evil hand grabbed the blind man's grass.

“This.”

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

The pools of Blind Ones collected this time were of the highest grade, Class S.

Bertelkiah flares his bookshelf.

“I think I can make the best neutralizing agents. The best neutralizing agents aren't just neutralizing the polarizing alchemical ingredients, they're also involved in the item's grade itself. ”

“Not bad. ”

Although I'm making more than one alchemy item a day, most of the time I can't say that I have a higher grade than B.

The pride of a fine cook.

At least once, I wanted to make an item of Grade A or higher.

Then, a quick trip to the market was an opportunity to collect good Alchemy ingredients.

I'm gathering everyday, but I can't afford to gather high-grade alchemical ingredients in a slow fashion all the time.

Having picked up a bunch of Class A or higher Blind Grass, I could see something moving quickly across the snow pile.

A deer with a big horn and a heavy weight.

He's a normal deer, but he grew up next to the Magic System. He's strong enough to be a beast and has a strong life force. He also tastes like meat.

The moment I saw a deer, Kim Sung-cheol's mouth was drooling, something was caught in his eyes.

An arrow lodged in a deer's ass.

Red blood drips from the wound and rubs its white eyes red.

Is it someone's game? ’

Soon a hunter appeared from beyond the snow mountains.

The identity of the hunter was a beautifully shaped woman in a luxurious coat, which Kim Sung-cheol recognized.

“That guy. That's Ilya Bregas' sister. What was his name?”

Kim Sung-cheol turned around and asked.

Bertelgia, who has a better memory than Kim Sung-cheol and boasts about it, immediately said in a lively voice.

“Sophia!"

“Yes, it was Sofia Bregas. ”

Kim Sung-cheol doesn't remember a woman's name well.

Because I'm not interested.

Sofia is armed with elven elven elf elf elves. She's running at an extremely fast pace, tracking her prey and pulling a demonstration.

The arrows fired from the tightened demonstration fly in a straight line and pierce the deer's neck at once.

It was sharp and flawless.

“Phew.”

Sofia Bregash sees the deer collapse and reaches for the deer with a bow across her back.

‘With this, I can serve a decent meal to my brother this evening. ’

A faint flush flashes across Sophia's expressionless face.

However, there was already a customer standing by the deer.

It was Kim Sung-cheol.

Sofia's expressionless face reminds me of hostility.

“No, you. What's he doing here? ”

Kim Sung-cheol answered with a grave voice, showing the grass of a blind man full of horses.

“Collect materials. ”

“Ah.”

She opens her mouth slightly, raises it toward the deer, and at once she finds the deer and falls down.

A ton of heavy deer rests on Sophia's fancy body.

It is truly a great power.

However, the huge size of the deer and the resulting imbalance in the center of gravity could not be ignored.

Shortly after the deer is lifted, Sofia's balance is broken and she puts it back on her eyes.

‘Let's put it in the Soul Warehouse. No, not this big. Plus, if I put it in there, it'll dry up pretty good. ’

Sofia Bregash takes a deep breath and looks down at the carcass of the deer and thinks she should cut off a piece of it.

A solemn voice echoes next to her.

“I'm sorry, can I have some meat? ”

It was Kim Sung-cheol.

Sofia Bregash snorts as she looks down at the punitive officers dressed in shabby clothes.

“You don't have to tell me you want to die. ”

I didn't like him from the start.

Even Ganggas Aaron, the leader of the Punishment Force, acts like a waving dog in front of Bregas' brother and sister, talking arrogantly with his head held high.

One of them is to act that way in front of the most prestigious people on the front lines of the market, the Bregas family.

No concept or fear.

Either way, this is unacceptable to Sofia Bregas.

“If you want, I can help you with the meat. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said again.

Even though he didn't like it, one word was enough to soften Sofia's mind.

Because Sofia Bregas knows how to hunt, but she doesn't know how to manipulate.

I usually leave my hunting work to my servants, but I didn't bring it today because the area is local.

At that moment, Kim Sung-cheol's suggestion was something worth considering.

“I can't give you the good part. All I can give you is a head, legs, and a butt? ”

She stared at Sung-cheol Kim with cold eyes.

It doesn't taste as good or tough as it is popular.

Kim Sung-cheol was not a big deal.

“I don't need that. Built-in is enough."

Sofia smiles in relief.

‘After tasting. ’

Goose livers are commonly eaten by heavenly people.

I'll even throw it to the hound, so I have to smile because I asked him to give me the part I thought of.

“Fine. If that's what you want, take it. But you have to trim the deer here first. I'll send someone over later. ”

“I'll take it with me. It's not heavy. ”

“Oh really? Then you're welcome to bring it yourself. As long as you can. But we'll have to examine it later, and if there's any missing parts, we'll have to be prepared for the bees. ”

After laying low, Sofia quickly disappeared to the other side of the snow.

“What a bitch. ”

As soon as she disappears, Bertelkia pops out of her pocket and opens her mouth.

“ ……. ”

As always, Kim Sung-cheol did not mind the actions of ordinary people.

His interest lies only in the cold, stalking prey.

“He's pretty rare around here. You got lucky. ”

Seeing that it is a barren land, grass and trees are rare, and therefore hunting is rare.

A deer this size is one that I've been looking for all week.

Kim Sung-cheol took a human empire's sword from the soul storage and split the deer's stomach.

A full gut spills out with blood.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the surface, lifting his bright red gut high.

“Excellent liver. It's the best.”

“Ugh... Eating liver or something? I can't eat that. I don't know if it's meat.”

Bertelkia said, observing the innards right next to Kim Sung-cheol.

“A little taste. ”

“I'm not risking my life to eat like you! ”

“Only people who have ever tasted it know how good it is. Plus, with a liver this good, ”

“Hmm. Really? I'm not sure. What is the grade of Alchemy ingredient? ”

“Class S.”

Kim Sung-cheol said so and buried his livers under a pile of snow.

Then he raises the limping deer in one hand and throws it toward the large needlewater nearby.

A ton of large deer flew like a light ball and hit the beautiful Needle Water, and the subsequent sharp branches pierced the deer's chest and dug into the Needle Water and secured its corpse.

“Hee...”

Bertelgia is frightened.

Although I often see it, today's cooking scene was more violent than usual.

Kim Sung-cheol cut the neck of a deer with a fancy horn with a precious sword, stuck it in a corner, and peeled the hide with skillful hands.

* gasp *

The hide of the deer has been lightly peeled off like a banana peel since it was added to its strength and skill.

Kim Sung-cheol threw the skinned deer hide onto his neck and cut the arteries of the deer to drain the blood.

During the time of the bloodshed, the blind man's grass was collected.

Bertelkia, who was watching beside him, takes out a word.

“I don't know about anything else, but I can't help but admit one diligent thing. ”

“Of course.”

Kim Sung-cheol put the skinned leather in the barn and put it in the soul storage.

After some blood was drained, Kim Sung-cheol picked up a deer body and carried it back to Sook Land.

The Crusader's barracks were recognizable from afar.

Kim Sung-cheol carried the deer to the front of the barracks, and a young crusader with a sword stopped him.

“Who are you?”

“I'm here to deliver the meat. ”

You hear Sofia Bregas' voice in the tent.

“Wait a minute. I'll go out.”

Sofia Bregas shows up inside the tent sweeping away light blonde hair.

Kim Sung-cheol dropped the deer under the tent as soon as he saw her.

Boom.

With a dull sound, the venison lands on the floor.

“You seem to be putting in some effort. ”

“ ……. ”

Sofia Bregas carefully examined the deer Kim Sung-cheol brought and checked if there were any areas where Kim Sung-cheol had taken it.

There's nothing wrong with tearing open a ship and removing its intestines.

The most important tail meat is safe and there are no cuts from other skin points.

Sofia Bregas nods, looking into it for a long time.

“Good job. Go inside. ”

The voice of a young man echoes in the barracks.

“Hey, Sofia. It's not polite to just send a guest back like Mo did, right? ”

Ilya Bregas' voice.

Sofia turns her head and mutters to herself.

“Tsk! You heard me. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol went into the barracks without thanks.

When Sofia tried to stop him in a hurry, Kim Sung-cheol had already entered about half the barracks.

The tent was spacious and cozy.

In the center, the nomads lit a fire and surrounded by luxurious carpets and furniture.

It was a spectacular landscape like the Bregas family.

“We meet again, Warden 34. ”

Iliya was doing Kim Sung-cheol a favor for some reason.

Kim Sung-cheol asked a question while baptizing.

“What do you want from me? ”

Iliya Bregas smiles widely.

“Not really. I remember because the food I served you before was so delicious. In particular, the black blob of flavor that melts gently into his mouth is still wrapped around the tip of his tongue. ”

Kim Sung-cheol thought to himself, listening to him without saying a word.

Are you talking about the prophecy of Incense? You know the taste. ’

Ilya Bregas continues to speak.

“I haven't had a decent meal lately because I haven't had any. I'm not proud of it, but the mansion in Trowin had a chef with a rare cooking class. ”

“Cooking class? ”

“Yes, this is a class you haven't heard of. who are blessed by the god of taste. I don't know about anything else, but people are just as immature as they are in cooking. Anyway, when I was eating their food, I went out and lost my appetite, my appetite and my appetite. And all of a sudden, I started eating their food, and I had a taste for it. ”

“I see.”

Kimchi's acidity helps to reclaim his appetite, so it's not wrong.

“I've been treated before, so I'm going to treat you here today. My sister, Sofia, said she'd do something good today. If you don't mind, why don't you join us? ”

A sudden offer.

Kim Sung-cheol suspected that Iliya Bregas was up to something without knowing it.

‘I didn't notice any conspiracy. No way, did they figure out who I am? ’

Kim Sung-cheol stopped breathing and looked around.

I did not feel any particularly threatening schemes.

“Brother, why do you say such nonsense? He's just a prisoner. ”

As Kim Sung-cheol was sharply guarding his surroundings, he heard the voice of Bolmen in Sofia Bregas standing next to him.

Iliya Bregas smiles and asks for her sister.

“You said so yourself. No matter how humble he looks, he always comes back. I mean, I was treated to a meal, and I got a taste for it, right? ”

Sofia Bregas was unworthy, but could not break her brother's stubbornness.

“You're in luck! Prisoner!”

She gave a flying horse to Sung-cheol Kim and went outside the tent.

“My brother has a bit of a lead, but he's a good kid. ”

Iliya Bregas smiles softly.

So far, Kim Sung-cheol has not been able to figure out what Iliya Bregas is up to.

"What the hell. This guy. Why are you keeping me here? ’

There are no ambushes around, and that doesn't make you very strong.

I couldn't understand what the courage was to tie Kim Sung-cheol here.

As Sung-cheol Kim, it was a deep tasting experience.

The depth of the mist that was so thick that even the intentions could not be understood was a trick that only the emperor of the human empire could practice.

However, Kim Sung-cheol decided to handle it calmly.

He has the divine power to break any cunning and cunning chest system.

I kept my mouth shut and let time pass.

A few moments later, Sofia Bregas enters the tent.

Behind her, the servants follow you with food on the tray.

The moment I saw the dish, I was astonished at Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

This... this...?! ’

It was more of a charcoal dart than a dish.

Kim Sung-cheol grabbed the fork with trembling hands and took it to his mouth.

“ …?! ”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes were filled with greater horror than before.

The basic skill of a cook, Taste Determination, was not activated.

‘… this is not cooking! ’
