Main Character Hides His Strength

49. Eunuch of the Half (2)

Kim Sung-cheol crossed the refugee camp on his way to the airstrip in Aquaroa.

I chose the route to the refugee camp because the camp smelled good.

A stench from a pot hung on a fireplace.

Kim Sung-cheol approached the pot and checked its contents.

A visual of honey skin rather than cooking.

Kim Sung-cheol leaned in front of the tent with a pot to eat, as if it were the best supper in the market.

Immediately, there appeared a pale man with a glare in his tent. He didn't say anything, but Kim Sung-cheol couldn't get a deceased spoon from the man.

On the other hand, the man spit in the pot, staring at Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Son of a bitch…"

The atmosphere at the Refugee Camp was unpleasant.

While walking through the dirt covered in filth and garbage, Kim Sung-cheol received at least ten hostile glances and had to avoid one or more strife.

In the process, Kim Sung-cheol found out where the refugees came from.

These people come from a vast marshland called Innsbantra, far to the east of the Silver Tower.

They live in an extremely closed self-sustaining society known as the pagans who rarely serve others.

‘You've come a long way. They didn't take us anywhere else, so we fled here. ’

I encountered the Insvants a few times in my old rebellion days.

They were a very poor tribe.

He pretends to be crooked for the strong, but if he gets a slight crack, he will betray them and if he meets someone weaker than himself, he will literally suck his bone marrow.

Moreover, the religions they believed in had never been suspicious. In the beginning, it was even suggested that the Insvant people abducted foreign children and virgins and used them as a horrible sacrifice of human consciousness.

“They were offended. ”

Upon reaching a secluded place, Bertelkia opens her mouth, head out of her pouch.

“I don't blame them. When things get tough, most people's faces get shady. ”

“But it was too much to spit in the pot because you didn't want to share your food. ”

“... That's how vile they are. ”

Kim Sung-cheol was located in a place far away from the refugee camp.

The point of attack was dawn at dawn.

The quiet period of dawn is the few times Kim Sung-cheol is most favored and has never failed, and his luck is granted to him.

“Hmmm. Nice view. It's a great place for alchemy. ”

While Bertelkia was coming out of her pocket, Kim Sung-cheol moved diligently and prepared for camp.

In the western sky, the cool sunlight was pouring out.

‘I was good at not eating the pork rinds. ’

Kim Sung-cheol was busy procuring crops in and out of the forest.

The forest in the vicinity of the Tower of Eunza is quite powerful, so it may be more dangerous than a skilled adventurer, but it's also a rare report of vegetation.

Kim Sung-cheol killed the young mountain goat first and drained the blood. While he was completely drained of blood, he collected all kinds of aromatic mushrooms and edible vegetables from the forest, and he went to town to buy some leftovers.

It was especially encouraging to buy a decent cauldron at the Stable at the entrance to town.

“I'll leave the whole bowl in the stream outside, so go find it yourself. ”

It always feels good for Kim Sung-cheol to not have to do the dishes.

Kim Sung-cheol, who finished preparing the dish, decommissioned the sheep with his familiar skills.

“Ugh... Why would humans do this to eat? ”

Seeing that, Bertelgia expressed his emotions.

Kim Sung-cheol didn't react, but I thought to myself.

‘Those kids who say that eat the best. ’

The cooking was fixed.

This time, it was lamb shaving that Kim Sung-cheol would make.

I can taste the fresh ingredients as well as eat them easily.

The hot water in the cauldron boils with a jar of broth.

Kim Sung-cheol took out chicken bones, dried fish, seaweed, etc. used large chopsticks to taste the broth with a ladle and a small plate.

“Well, good. ”

Even the sour soy sauce made by myself was not as good as the taste of the mainland, but it was decent to eat.

All that's left is to make the lamb thin like paper.

Kim Sung-cheol put the meat on the base of the tree that was used for cutting pottery, took a deep breath, and hit the meat with speed that was invisible to the eye.

In an instant, several thin, paper-like flags were made.

“Nice knife, too. ”

Bertelkia, who was watching next to him, suddenly said.

“I don't have a weapon I can't handle. ”

“Sure thing.”

Kim Sung-cheol sat down and took the liquor out of the soul storage. The liquor was contained in a green emerald glass jar.

Is this the end too? ’

Iron Blood.This soju was cast in the territory of the Iron Knights.

It is said to be soju, but made with careful process and craftsmanship. The sensitivity in the mouth is colorless. It is a luxurious technique that holds both weight, soft throat and the sweetness of alcohol when awakened.

However, there will be very few of them left now that the Iron Knights have been destroyed.

‘I need to save my breath. ’

All the preparations are complete.

Kim Sung-cheol put the trimmed vegetables and mushrooms into the cauldron first. The boiling pot boils occasionally and sinks.

The delicate scent of aquatic water is infused with the aroma of vegetables.

Kim Sung-cheol lowered his firepower by removing a few burning firewood, then took the chopped lamb and dipped it in the pot.

Blood of lamb spreads like spores in clear broth and spreads into cauldrons.

This is the most disturbing moment of disguise.

Kim Sung-cheol closed his eyes and took the lamb to his mouth.

However, as soon as I was about to try it, I felt a strange wit nearby.

Things I wanted to ignore but couldn't ignore.

Because the wolves who appeared behind Kim Sung-cheol were descended from Aquaroa airspace.

They came sniffing towards Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol felt a little annoyed and exerted a spiritual power inside his body.

To kill them, but leave no trace of them.

However, the werewolves did not come directly to Kim Sung-cheol, but walked to both sides of the slaughter.

I felt like I was drawn to the smell of sheep's blood, not to Kim Sung-cheol.

On the other hand, they spoke in a walking voice pointing to Kim Sung-cheol's discarded intestines, head, and other accessories with sharp fingernails.

“Hey, black head. Are you eating this? ”

“If you don't eat, let's share. ”

“We're usually friendly werewolves, but when we're hungry, we turn into predators. ”

Meat that doesn't eat anyway.

Kim Sung-cheol said that he could take it with him through his hands.

A joyful smile comes to mind in the mouths of the werewolves.

“Today, instead of smelly, dirty meat, I will devour it with fresh, natural products. ”

“You're good. You slaughtered a sheep in that forest. ”

The werewolves passed by Kim Sung-cheol with a distinctive sound of tears as if they were in a good mood.

One of them watched Kim Sung-cheol's cooking and said bluntly.

“That's a terrible meal. Meat must be chewed raw from the inside out. It's not a beggar, but what's the taste of it if you take it apart and mix it together? ”

“ ……. ”

After a long time, Kim Sung-cheol had to be patient.

The stone you were holding was so tightly gripped by the dust, but the unknown werewolf left with a chuckle.

Anyway, Kumgangsan also eats after dinner.

I threw away my appetite a little, but I didn't want to stop eating.

Kim Sung-cheol made the broth soak in the soup boiling the lamb again while trying to eat it, and took it to his mouth.

It tastes good, but it's not what I wanted.

I got a little tired once I got used to it.

Kim Sung-cheol took another fresh meat with chopsticks and brought it to the cauldron.

Hoping that you will feel the flavor you were looking forward to this time.

But today was a bad day.

Jubbuck.

I tried to eat again, but the intruder showed up.

Are those werewolves? No, it's a little different. ’

If they were werewolves, they wouldn't let up.

Looking back, Kim Sung-cheol met an unexpected person.

"Is he...? ’

Burning red hair, reptile pupils, and a thick lobe.

It's a half-man Kanes.

Kim Sung-cheol was looking for her so badly that she appeared in front of Kim Sung-cheol after all her business was over.

“Knng, knng.”

She came to Kim Sung-cheol with a savage smell like a werewolf.

Unlike a werewolf, she was more interested in Kim Sung-cheol's cooking than in sheep's appetizers.

“It smells like strange food. ”

She closed her eyes and found Kim Sung-cheol right in front of her as she approached Kim Sung-cheol.

But it was not that surprising.

“What? Enemies of the world? ”

Rather, I sat on my butt next to Kim Sung-cheol as if I had known him for a long time.

Her nerves were all attracted to Kim Sung-cheol's cooking.

“What is this? How do you eat? ”

“ ……. ”

More distractions than werewolves.

Kim Sung-cheol was reluctant, but showed me how to eat.

Dip the thinly sliced lamb into a cauldron and stir-fry it in a special sauce.

"Hmm."

It's a demonstration tea, but the flavor of the food is real.

[This dish scores... 45 points!]

The score is not very high, but this is high for Kim Sung-cheol's taste in cooking.

“This is how you eat. ”

“Really? Then I'll go somewhere. ”

Carnes picks up the meat with his fingers because he has no chopsticks.

“Wash your hands and eat. ”

“My hands are clean. ”

Scales appear on the fingers of Cannes.

It's kind of like a dragon trick.

She took the meat with her scale-wrapped fingers, cooked it slightly like Kim Sung-cheol, and took it to her mouth.

Kim Sung-cheol indifferently waited for Kanes' reaction.

Kaneth closes his eyes and looks like he wants to savor the filthy meat. Then he opens his eyes.

“Yummy! That too! ”

“ ……. ”

It's not a surprising reaction.

There is no such thing as bad food made by Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol revealed a hidden brooch in the corner of his coat that was hiding with his expressionless face.

The golden brooch that received the sunset scattered its glowing light everywhere.

‘This is the right amount to be a real cook. ’

However, while Kim Sung-cheol was bragging about the brooch, Kanes was eating the meat in a frenzy.

Kim Sung-cheol found that half of the lamb chopped up quickly and most of the vegetables were scrambled.

"What the hell. This guy..."

Looking at Kim Sung-cheol's protest, Kaneth blinked his eyes and said with audacity.

“I tend to eat hot things. Aren't you jealous?"

Then I grab a green emerald bottle and sneeze.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes shook.

"What about that bottle?! ’

A drop of wine in the bottle enters the dragon's disguise, riding Cannes' esophagus.

It was a moment when Choi Seong-chul Kim tried to save his life.

“ ……. ”

Tuck.

Chopsticks fell from Kim Sung-cheol's fingers.

*

“I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was such a lovely drink! ”

Kanesh condemned Kim Sung-cheol. However, it was an apple that was mouth-watering enough to be seen as dry.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's face was as expressionless as ever, but he had a different atmosphere than before.

Bertelkia knew that better than anyone.

‘Ugh... I think it's really tight. I've never seen him do this before. ’

Worse than Bertelkia, she steps out of her pocket and approaches Kanes.

“Huh? You're the Living Book? ”

“Hey, dragon sister. ”

Bertelgia approaches Cannes and talks about the seriousness of the situation.

As Carnes listens with a grumpy face, he gradually realizes how great he has done.

“Ugh... I'm so sorry! I don't know what a terrible excuse I've made. ”

“ ……. ”

“The food is so good. Honestly, a great cook like you can hardly find an entire continent. Who wears such a golden brooch? Isn't that right?”

“… Is that so? ”

Kim Sung-cheol, who was looking at the forest, turned around. revealing the brooch hidden in the coat.

Kanes smiled bitterly and found adra under Kim Sung-cheol's coat, wondering what else to say.

“Huh? That. Isn't that Mercit Carbunkle adra? ”

“Do you know this? ”

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

Knowing this, I thought there would be only one Sazatos, but in an unexpected place, someone recognized the Mercit Carbunkle adra appeared.

“I've never seen it with my own eyes, but I've heard it from old dragon inspiration. Once upon a time, humans mimicked the dragon's dragon's magic. ”

She reaches out and tries to touch the adra.

Kim Sung-cheol stepped back and said with a bitter smile.

“Oh, sorry. I just wanted to touch it. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol gave out another batch of adra stones that didn't listen well, instead of the adra stones of a caboon that listened well to his commands.

“Well, I guess this isn't a carbunkle. ”

Kaneth seems to have figured out the adra problem immediately.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded, and Kanes squinted one eye.

“Then you must have gotten good at eating and drinking, should I teach you how to fix adra stones? ”
