Possessing Nothing

Rubes is a large city in the middle of Eria. There were the Wizard's Guild's Golden Horse Tower and the Red Horse Tower, as well as the Mercenary Guild's headquarters. Because of its proximity to the Muslim blind Cron, she is crowded with many Muslims and wizards.

However, it is not only the Muslims and wizards who live in this world. Although their existence is infinitely thin compared to theirs, the noh classes are also summoned to Eria. The inhabitants who originally lived in Eria.They were born by people who were summoned to Eria in the past. Not only Muslims and wizards, but everyone living in Eria dreams of living in Rubes.

Rubes is the city of dreams. Many people dream of settling down in Rubes and, in fact, those who have settling down in Rubes live a rich life in the middle class of other cities, even though they are lower class in this city.

A low-water Class C mercenary is busy earning a day to live. Even mercenaries of Class A or higher are not qualified to receive quests from Rubes. Even though she was the most famous and big city, she had only heard of her name and had never been there.

“Lee Sung-min? Hmm... You're a Class S mercenary. ”

I haven't done any mercenary quests since I left Behenger, but that doesn't mean the mercenaries are useless.

Rubeth was strict about security as he was a big city. It's a long line into the city, and you won't be able to enter unless you prove your identity properly.

“What about you?”

It was barely my turn to line up for a long time, and Lee Sung-min who showed me the mercenary was able to pass through the gates without any problems. Rubia did not fall under inspection because she was secretly hiding in the arms of Lee Sung-min.

“The main point is the Guangzhen Wall. ”

It's the miner's turn. He pulls the badge out of his chest and shows it to the guard. The guard checks the identity card and nods.

“Just in case. Don't try to cause any trouble here. I don't care about the pineapple or the saffron, but this city is protected by Muslim blindness, sorcery, and the Wizard's Guild. ”

“Is the throne known as Stupid Thunder Naked? ”

The miners grumble. Rubeth is intertwined with the power of a multitude of forces, like a great city. Even if a miner climbs to the personal heights, he can't do anything meaningless inside Rubes.

“Go inside.”

As I walked through the gate without any problems, the miners grumbled.

“I'm blind, I'm blind. Hmph! If only the script were willing...”

“Don't be a dick. ”

Lee Sung-min said as he heard the roar of the miners. In response, the mineral horse's mouth is narrow and silent.

The day I promised Wijihoen was tomorrow. I hurried on the journey, but arrived shortly. During the journey from Travia to Rubes in the far north, Lee Sung-min has been massaging miners almost every day. While the journey was not overwhelming, the miners acknowledged the innocence of the rational people.

“Rest assured we won't get into trouble. ”

“If that's the case, you and I don't know. ”

“That's too much. Have you forgotten the grace that the throne taught the Bleeding Horseman? ”

“I thought you said you didn't want to come all the way here, and you listened to me say no. Now that I have fulfilled my senior's compulsion, I think I have paid back all the grace I learned from the Bleeding Mascot. ”

“Hnng!”

Lee Sung-min's answer was the sound of the miners' pain. Although he said that, Lee Sung-min had a lot of help from the miners during the journey. He was able to confirm his absence and make a lot of progress on the hemoglobinoplasty.

What is certain is that they have not yet entered the transcendental period. At the same time, Lee was convinced that he had transcended the boundaries of his entry into the spiritual world. He was still weaker than the status in the psychic world, and was much different from the self in the transcendental world that was about to begin.

It was not just rational people who gained something. Constant abstinence with unauthorized men of similar stature also led to the growth of mineral horses. It means that each benefited from the other.

“It's been a long time. ”

Rubia comes out of her arms. She straightens her base like a crouching cat and lays her hands on her waist.

“Have you ever been to Rubes? ”

“Yes. It has a Wizard's Guild headquarters, a golden tower, and a red tower. ”

A golden tower. Lee remembered a few years ago. In the Dungeon of Preskan, Lee Sung-min made an alliance with Lloyd, the golden steed. Lloyd told Lee Sung-min who saved his life that he would do me a favor if he came back one day.

‘I don't have anything else to ask you right now. ’

Even when Lloyd first said that, I postponed it for later because there was nothing I wanted to ask Lloyd in that situation. Lee looked down at his left wrist. A bracelet I received from Scarlet when I broke up with Scarlet in Shaolin.

Scarlet said he would let me know one day when he needed help.

But for years, the bracelet never reacted. Lee Sung-min was relieved of it. Lee Sung-min had a lot of help from Scarlet, and the fact that the bracelet didn't react was evidence that there was nothing wrong with Scarlet's identity.

“My ruthless master hasn't contacted me in over a year, but he may have left a message on the Golden Tower. ”

Throughout the journey, Rubia was thrilled. Lee Sung-min's eyes widen after hearing Rubia's excited voice.

“What do you mean? ”

“Lloyd, the golden steed, is my master's disciple. ”

“What?"

Lee Seong-min looked surprised. Rubia opens her heart with pride in Lee Sung-min's surprise.

“My master is a great man. It may not be popular, but few of the most famous wizards don't know my master! ”

Rubia's words determine what to do today. I couldn't afford to meet with Wijihoen tomorrow, but I don't have an appointment today. So I decided to stop by the Golden Tower and the Red Tower.

Like the metropolitan city, Rubes had many convenient facilities that were not found in other cities. Trains and train stations run on trains to keep the city moving fast. Lee Sung-min followed Leading Rubia to the train station near the gates of the city.

“A train...”

I couldn't help but admire you. Lee Sung-min, who lived in Seoul, knew about railways like trains and trains, but he had never encountered them in Eria. I've heard rumors of railroads in Rubes before, but I've never seen them with my own eyes like this.

“Reubes boasts of collaboration between wizards and technicians. Not all Nose classes do, but some Nose classes have skills that wizards and Muslims don't. If that's where Dwarf dexterity meets magic... bam! ”

Rubia explains in an excited voice. She gives a cheerful look as she points to the train that is stopped on the train.

“It doesn't wobble like a wagon, it's faster than a wagon, and you can sit still and watch the view out the window! ”

“Why are you so proud? ”

The miner said with a ridiculous look on his face. Rubia raises her hand and grabs her nose.

“Will you not tell me? It smells corny. ”

“What?”

“Come quickly. Because I have to cut the tickets! ”

Rubia rushes to the pass, not against the miners. Lee Sung-min jolted the train with his emotions and followed Rubia to the gateway. The world was harsh on the no class, but not on all the no classes.

There are many oak classes treated in this world based on the content of their knowledge.

But no class with such talent is extremely partial. Lee Sung-min knows about railroads, but he doesn't have the knowledge to build them. Most likely Noh classes who do not have the knowledge to be treated in this world will have to live miserably. just like the previous Lee Sung-min did.

The central square of Rubes, the golden tower, and the red tower are not far away. First, Lee stopped voting for the Golden Horse Tower.

“Why is it that such a convenient ride is not available in other cities? ”

The miner on the train mutters. He seemed awkward to get on a train made of metal, but he insisted on sitting at the window seat when he turned to his seat.

“It's hard to manage. ”

Rubia gives away the window seat like a box of thorns.

“Rubes is the most secure city in all of Eria, with different forces intertwined and free of commotion. And because there are so many wealthy people, the amount of tax collected is enormous compared to other cities. Railroads are convenient, but they're not an easy tool to apply to every city. ”

I empathized with him. It is because not all cities in Korea where Lee lived had trains or trains. Opening a train takes time, money, and technology. Not all cities have them.

“Oh... I'm moving...”

The train is starting to move. The miner holds the armrest firmly and looks out the window. Lee Seong-min also stared out the window. It was a little bumpy at first, but I could only feel a slight vibration as the train started speeding up.

“Short-range teleports still carry a lot of risks. If this is what the Wizard does, there are too many variables and risks to teleport people to other groups. Teleport magic is being developed by a variety of wizards, but it will take at least a few decades for it to become commercially available. ”

Rubia swallows a smile as she looks out the window at the broken mineral horse.

“Freak!”

“An iron horse made of metal runs...”

“Because of magic! Isn't it cool? Even people who can't use an aerial vehicle can travel long distances quickly if they're on a train. It's not magic and technology that makes this convenience possible. ”

“But... it's faster to run the course. ”

“Please don't be so ignorant. ”

“You can smash the whole thing with a steel journal if you want to. ”

“What the hell are you talking about? ”

Rubia and the miner horde clatter. During the journey together, the miners and Rubia became very close to each other, so it seemed like they were seeing their grandfather and granddaughter.

[You've changed a lot.]

It was not only the miners who were astonished. The liquor in the barn also shed elasticity.

[There was nothing like this 400 years ago that I lived.]

‘Time, of course, has changed. ’

[I didn't realize it until now. Yes... 400 years.400 years is a long time. What will happen to the south?]

I feel a bit lonely when I hear the voices murmuring like that. The time of the haze that was sealed in the sleeping forest has stopped 400 years ago. It is said to be the south full of monsters, but the south that Heju knew was 400 years ago.

The train stops at the Golden Tower station. Since the miner wanted to take the train more, Lee Sung-min told him not to get into trouble and then left the miner on the train.

The same was true of the train station at the gate, but there were also a lot of beggars at the Golden Tower station. They had the audacity to sit in the corner of the station. They kept an eye on Lee, and he ignored their gaze. Cron has a blind spot and an open headquarters. It is natural that there are many beggars in Rubes, close to Cron.

“Let's go! ”

Rubia urges Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min left the station ignoring the beggar's gaze. The station and the golden tower were nearby. The golden tower did not shine gold differently from its name, but it was looking like a tall tower.

There is a similar tall tower in the tower and not far away.

“It's a red tower. ”

“After we meet Lloyd, let's take the Red Tower. ”

“Why?”

“I have someone to say hello to. ”

Lee Sung-min said so and entered the door of the tower.

I told you I was looking for Lloyd, but the wizard on the first floor of the tower shook his head and refused. That's why I didn't make an appointment with the horse master Lloyd in advance. He tries to say something more about it, but Rubia leaves first.

“I can't tell you, but we are important guests of Lloyd's. If you refuse, Lloyd will be rude to you. Are you sure you're okay?”

“Even so...”

“You can handle it, right? Okay, I'll be right back. What a pity, you're still young... Tsk, tsk! ”

Rubia looks up and down at the wizard and mutters. The wizard's face turned white. He pauses for a moment, sighing deeply and nodding his head.

“Very well… what can I tell him? ”

“Please connect Lloyd to the crystal sphere. I'll do the talking. ”

The wizard comes with a crystal ball and gives it to Rubia. After a short signal, the color of the crystal sphere changed. Rubia stares at the crystal sphere. You can't see Lloyd from this side, but Lloyd beyond the crystal sphere is looking at Rubia's face. A moment later, the crystal sphere turned gold.

“You've allowed it.”

Rubia smiles and returns the crystal sphere. The wizard looks at Rubia's smile and nods slightly.

“Climb up.”

Lee Sung-min and Rubia enter through the door where the wizard left their seats. Closing the door, Rubia is skillfully manipulating the device next to the door. Then the floor slowly started to rise up.

“Elevator.”

“Did you know?”

“I'm from another world. ”

The rich floor continued to rise to the top. Soon the floor stops, and Rubia opens the door.

“This way.”

Lee Sung-min crossed the corridor along Rubia. At the end of the hall was a golden door with ornaments. The door opens before Rubia raises her hand and knocks.

“What a surprise. ”

You hear Lloyd's voice inside the open door.
