Main Character Hides His Strength

41. City on the River (1)

Rumors of the death of the first Catastrophe Demon King and the deaths of demons in the Magic System spread throughout the continent in a flash.

Ordinary people who were not familiar with the disaster rejoiced at the news of the destruction of demons threatening to change the north, but were terrified of a threat that might come with information.

Two months passed in joy and fear.

The foreshadowing of the seven heroes had not been reported anywhere, but the powers of each country were preparing for a new disaster that would come, releasing their eyes and ears in every corner of their power.

Meanwhile, there was a small, subtle but meaningful movement at the continent's headquarters.

“It was not the Emperor of the Air Palace, nor the Continental Thirteen, nor the Church of God who saved us. A lone hero who has been banished. ”

It was only during the fierce day that worship began for one person who was smashed into pieces the soldiers who survived all over the cliff.

At the time of the battle, it was chaotic and overwhelmed by the heat of the group, making cold and objective decisions, but over time, the muddy soil settled into a simple, clear conclusion.

No matter what anyone says, Kim Sung-cheol, the world's enemy, appeared on the battlefield to save them and single-handedly executed the Demon King whom everyone was not afraid of.

Those in power who ruled this world could never, ever accomplish.

No one dared to start, but once an organization was created to reevaluate the world's enemies, those who were under Kim Sung-cheol, especially soldiers from the Lion Band of the Slum led by Kim Sung-cheol - mostly drunkards who had been forced out of the country - broke the long silence and participated in the battle.

Recently, an undead girl and a mysterious old man who had met Kim Sung-cheol in person were suddenly noticed.

The Human Empire expressed its stance that it would be penalized for this unsightly movement in their capital, but the organization worshipping Kim Sung-cheol expanded gradually in the dark.

Meanwhile, Kim Sung-cheol, who was receiving the attention of the world, was wandering around the southern end of the continent, away from the horse system at the northern end.

“What the fuck. ”

It is uncommon for insults to come from Kim Sung-cheol's mouth.

He is usually silent no matter what the difficulties.

However, the scorching heat of the Blade Scream Mountains, the endless worms, and most of all, the seemingly endless jungle was hard to endure even with Kim Sung-cheol's superhuman patience.

No matter how complex a dungeon is, it can break through walls and make its own path, but in the jungle, no matter how many vines and trees it takes to break, it will grow again after one night.

“Ugh... I'm getting mold in my body! ”

Bertelgia was also a painful thing.

Wet and plentiful germs in the jungle were the worst conditions to preserve books.

However, even though it seemed to be holding on to Kim Sung-cheol's back, it was better outside than the soul warehouse.

“Surprise here! ”

Bertelkia stood in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

“Take a break. What do you think?”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and found a place to rest.

There are also advantages to the Blade Screaming Mountains, which refuse to settle even the Elves who are friendly with the forest.

There are good hot springs everywhere.

Kim Sung-cheol headed to the hot springs I had seen before.

The hot springs themselves are excellent hot springs, although there are many unknown animal backbones everywhere.

Kim Sung-cheol took off his clothes and immersed himself in a warm hot spring.

“ ……. ”

A golden duck that I carried around in my pocket.

Kim Sung-cheol watched the golden duck float through the waves and washed away the fatigue that had accumulated during the jungle expedition.

He traveled from the northernmost frontier to the southernmost Blade Screams Mountains in order to gain the vision he had long ago.

It's a multiverse window.

A vision of one of the seven heroes, the Sazatos.

But the guy named Zaatos was nasty from start to finish.

The multi-generating vision and the two items you gave me are all useless.

I don't know if the first item, a map made of Goblin Hide, was due to the flow of time, but I couldn't find even a similar cover, and the second item, the Blue Stone Ring, was also unaware of its use.

The only clue was an ancient letter written on the bottom of a map made of Goblin Hide. It was only to translate the meaning into a list of sentences that could not be understood by Kim Sung-cheol's reading ability.

The sentences translated by Sung-cheol Kim are as follows:

[Strong... strong... morning... If you ask me... cute... little... animal... ring... like... sunlight... shining... the earth... unraveling... together... forever... in secret...]

I also asked Bertelgia to translate the results, just in case.

Rather, it became more confusing than the list of sentences that Kim Sung-cheol translated because he mistakenly knew.

“Well…”

I've been wandering around the mountains for a month.

My body and mind are getting tired of meaningless searches, but I have nothing else to do.

Since it is rare for Kim Sung-cheol, who is already a warrior and a wizard, to grow up.

Moreover, Multi-Young Chang has the ability to obtain in preparation for the battle against the coming Seven Heroes.

When fighting subliminal opponents, there is less than one unique ability, and the difference can have a decisive impact on the outcome.

Kim Sung-cheol pushed himself deeply into the Tangan and recalled the state window.

“Blessings, stats. ”

[Blessings]

Firewall (Psychological Attack Immunity)

Blessing of Chaos (Strength, Agility, 10% Health Increase)

Heir to Hercules (Strength +50)

Berserker's Bloodline (Mass Recovery at HP ≤ 10%)

United Kingdom Champion (Will +10)

Fast Bow in High Elf Kingdom (Agility +20)

Ancient Warrior's Heart (Power +5, Will +5, HP +5)

Person Against Disaster (All Stats +10, Qualifications)

[Stats]

Strength 999 + Agility 864 HP 813

Magic Power 592 Intuition 598 Magic Resistance 720

Will 513 Charm 28 Luck 28

The new blessing of defeating the Demon King was giving the Demon King something he didn't know he deserved, in addition to the positive effect of raising his stats by 10.

I don't know what it is, but it's not usually a blessing.

Kim Sung-cheol was able to see his ability to guess that the new blessing of growing up against disaster was descended by something powerful enough to cover another curse.

Charm and shame.

Kim Sung-cheol's charm and luck are fixed at 18 and not moving.

It's because of some kind of curse.

However, the fact that the curse was lifted and led to a rise in stats is undeniable evidence that the blessed creature was higher than the cursed one.

‘As expected, the plagues were the gods. ’

Until then, Kim Sung-cheol shook his head and let his head rest for a while.

I came here to rest.

You don't have to think complicated.

Because it's clear what to do.

Looking up at the sky, white clouds were slowly flowing in the blue sky above the dense forest.

Kim Sung-cheol closed his eyes, feeling the comfort of the warm water and the relaxing flow of time.

How long has it been?

I felt a sudden awakening.

It is the cornerstone of something very secretive and experienced.

Kim Sung-cheol opened his eyes, found the subject of the pilgrimage, and laughed.

"Hot spring cat"? ’

It was a giant cat with cloud-like fur.

The cruel nobles of the Holy Rutherguinea Kingdom were often bred as pets and crops.

The size of a tiger is a large, but gentle, relaxed beast that enjoys a hot spring.

The giant cat stood in front of the hot spring and carefully touched the hot springs with his front foot to check the temperature, then dipped himself in a big, bathtub.

He glanced at Kim Sung-cheol and yawned.

“Wow. Hot spring cat? That's kind of cute. ”

Vertelgia, who was sun-drying on a rock next to the hot spring, finds her cat and flies to the sky.

“You'd better not be flying around. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said, as he feared, the Thermal Spring Cat sprinted out of the hot springs and ran towards Bertelgia.

“Hee-hee! ”

Bertelkia runs back immediately, but the cat is one step ahead.

The hot spring cat's wet forefoot presses against the ground.

“H-help me! ”

Kim Sung-cheol gently said to his cat, watching Bertelkia like that.

“Go over there. ”

After a slight eye fight, the hot spring cat made a groaning sound, then returned to its original position and immersed himself.

“You came back from the dead. What is that? What kind of savage is that? My father said Humans don't hurt...”

“Now it's a book. Just the right size for him to care. ”

“Oh... is that so? ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head back and looked up at the sky again. He pulled out a ring from the soul shed and glanced at the sun.

A blue stone ring received as a quest reward.

The ring of blue stone filled with sunlight was just scattering glittering light all over the place.

‘There's no answer at all. ’

It's a cluttered city.

He is also at the center of the conversation.

I wanted to find clues for the multiverse by myself, but there was no end or end to it.

Kim Sung-cheol decided to leave the jungle and explore in the human domain.

It was a little dangerous, but I didn't see any other sharp way, and above all, I wanted to get away from the bored forest a little bit.

Gangnam ( ) City of Panchuria.

Between the Human Empire to the north and the Blade Screaming Mountains of the Lizardman Kingdom to the south, the free city was notorious for its active trade and abundant seafood, but was also widely regarded as a fierce landscape and a lair of human scum from all over the continent.

The city is essentially a means of transportation over water in order to efficiently move the city to a city on water that is made voluntarily or forcibly by various vessels on a large stream, rather than on dry land.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol sat alone on a sturdy five-seated boat.

The original owner of the boat was a 5-man murderous robber looting on the river, but finding Kim Sung-cheol and cheering became their last joy.

Now, the corpses that are being fed as fish are being lodged under the river floor, gave Kim Sung-cheol a precious gift of approximate information about the boat and the city.

It was a golden piece of information for Kim Sung-cheol, who was a novice in Panchuria.

He glances around, relaxing and rowing, buying some fruit from the merchants who put it on the boat and putting it in his mouth.

Soon, the dry water he was looking for was noticeable.

It was a large dry material that was attached to the fuselage of five galleys and had a slab on top of it.

The name of this building in the middle of the day is the name of the emperor.

It is a place where the Buddhist monarchs of Panchuria gather, full of thieves and swindlers, without scholars.

Kim Sung-cheol took the boat to the Emperor's side and went inside.

There's a big flyer on the sign next to the entrance.

A substantial reward will be given to those who announce the location of the world's enemies - Governor of Panchuria, Lormey Tsui.

Beneath the fierce phrase was an illustration of a wicked man, depicted as an enemy of the world.

Luckily, I didn't have to hide my face or change my clothes.

‘I never thought anyone could draw more than me. ’

However, after Kim Sung-cheol who was badly drawn, there was a book flying in the sky.

“W-what? Did you draw this as me? ”

The living book drawn behind Kim Sung-cheol was crude, small and had no cheeky wings, but it was thinner than anything else.

“You think I'm some kind of picture book! ”

Bertelgia's fury is focused on his thinness.

Kim Sung-cheol pressed down on Bertelkia, which was rattling in his pocket, and moved to a tavern and convention center called the side of the emperor.
