Possessing Nothing

Before leaving the forest entirely, Lee Sung-min encountered Selgerus through Nebbel.

Selgerus frowned and spit out as soon as he saw Lee.

“I hope the spear isn't broken again. Please tell me that's not true. Your spear is a real spear made out of duck! ”

The words were close to groaning. That said, Lee Sung-min shook his head with a bitter smile.

“It's not broken. I'm fine.”

“Then what is it? What's wrong with your armor?”

“No, I just wanted to ask you about a new production. ”

“…… How long has it been since you repaired spears and armor? There's no better material than a duck. ”

Selgerus replies with a fat face. The ducks are also excellent materials beyond common sense.

Selgerus, a blacksmith with the title of Myster, had a handful of experience making weapons out of duck cones alone.

Lee Seong-min opened the subspace pocket and took out a large box. A chest from the Vagina Treasure Depot.

“What is that? You're not asking me to make something out of that box, are you? ”

Selgerus asks.

Lee Sung-min opened the box with a big smile. Inside the box, there was a pale golden scales and shiny bones.

Selgerus blinks and looks inside the box.

“…… what is that? ”

“No way…. ”

Selgerus didn't recognize the dragon's scales and bones, but it wasn't Neville.

Nebbel's mouth snaps and flares.

He grimaced his lips with an unbelievable expression and barely asked questions.

“Could it be the bones and scales of a dragon? ”

“Yes.”

In response to Neville's stammering question, Lee Sung-min nodded his head.

Then, Selgerus' expression changed. She can't jump across space like Nevel, but her eyes widen as she pushes her face as if it were possible.

“That's ridiculous. ”

What Selgerus spit was a trembling injustice.

“Dragon bones and scales? Oh, my God, no, it can't be! You... hunted a dragon? ”

“No. I didn't hunt them. I just got lucky. ”

“Well... how can I get dragon bones and scales if I'm so lucky? Did you meet a dying dragon? Or did you rob Rare? ”

Selgerus spits.

It was the same with Nevel that he was so frightened.

Nebel shakes his hand as he moves the box and opens Erebrisa's auction window.

“Dragon Scales and Bones... They come up in small quantities at the Auction House... … but that much? How the hell……. ”

“There's more than this... ”

Lee Sung-min gave a voice for a while.

Hearing the commute, Heju laughs with a pleasant smile.

Lee Sung-min's bones and scales are from a single dragon.

Huju, who hunted dragons in the past, did not process bones and scales separately, but kept them as loot and put them in storage, so they remained intact.

When Lee Sung-min took out a few boxes and opened them, Nebel and Selgerus kept their mouths shut.

Nebbel opens his mouth after a frightening silence.

“…… with the exception of the Black Dragon Cove, which is a hybrid with dragons, it's been more than 300 years since the ‘real’ dragon has been seen in this world. Now dragons have become accustomed to appearances in old stories and myths and legends. Three hundred years ago, when dragons were identified, they reigned as magical manipulators and absolutes, and they had rarely been hunted. ”

After saying that, Neville swallows a single breath.

“That's enough to arm an army. Dragon Bones and Scales…… are powerful enough to negate most magic, and they are highly sensitive to Manawa and her inner air, making fun of the ducks. But it's also very versatile. Those are the best alchemical materials and equipment in the world. ”

“I can't. ”

Selgerus sighed and said.

“No, I'm not the only one. There will never be a Dwarf blacksmith with the title of the Myster who can handle dragon bones and scales. You've never handled it before. I don't know if it's the chief again... ”

“Chief?”

“The dwarf chieftain. An old man who's dying as a Dwarf.He doesn't know when he'll die, but he's still correcting. Maybe a chief can handle that...? ”

Selgerus mutters with a look of uncertainty.

In saying that, Lee Sung-min glanced at Nebbel. Nebel shakes her head, expressing embarrassment.

“If you're a dwarf chieftain, you're talking about Mackendor. Unfortunately, Mr. Mackendor is not connected to Erebrisa. He was a member of our team until 50 years ago, when he suddenly gave up his membership and terminated his relationship with us. ”

“I've had a master title from the chief myself, but I haven't seen him in decades. ”

Selgerus mutters.

“You must be alive. The sun braziers that only chiefs can use are constantly running, and the work the chiefs make sometimes comes out. ”

“Maybe the other dwarves can meet the chieftain? ”

“No. I can't meet them, either. ”

Selgerus giggles.

“The chief's personality sucks. It's been decades since the chief was trapped in the sun furnace, and he's never been out of the sun furnace since. The other Dwarves were worried and tried to force their way into the sun furnace several times, but every time I got hit by the Chief's hammer, my head broke off! ”

“…… It was a tremendous amount of groceries that Mackendor bought in his last transaction with us. There's no food spoilage in the subspace pocket, so it's probably enough to last over a hundred years on its own. ”

He had no choice but to say what he wanted to say.

According to Nevel, Mackendor has been stuck in the sun brazier for a hundred years with edible groceries.

Neither Zellerus nor any other Mysters with the title of the Myster can handle dragon bones and scales, nor can they arrange a meeting with the chief.

[Even with good ingredients, you can't use them.]

Heju mutters, kicking his tongue.

Unfortunately, I couldn't help it. In case you didn't know, Lee Sung-min handed over some of the dragon's teeth and scales to Selgerus.

“I'm not sure.... ”

“Didn't you say you've never handled it? So please give it a try. ”

“I don't know how much to give.... ”

“I don't need money. ”

According to Lee Sung-min, Selgerus was moved and bowed his head.

Lee Sung-min was surprised at Selgerus.

“You don't have to. ”

“No, you should. Because I want to. ”

After he realized he couldn't do scales and bones right away, he showed Nebbel the Dragon Heart.

Nebbel, who thought he wouldn't be more surprised, sat down to see the Dragon Heart.

“This madness……. ”

“Yes?”

“Oh, no. I'm sorry... I was so surprised... Dragon Heart... Dragon Heart. Haha...! ”

Nebel shakes her head with a silly smile.

“Never before has dragon hearts been in Erebria's auction house. I wonder if there's a wizard who can handle that. Even a messy Great Wizard can't handle it.... ”

“Can you find out? ”

“Very well. I'll let you know after I've tried the hydrogen gate." ”

This was the end of your business with Erebrisa.

Lee Sung-min returned to the unavoidable.

You see Aladur snoring loudly, and Rubia crouching nearby.

Nearby, a miner was watching the campfire.

“Are you here?”

“Yes.”

The miner speaks. He raised his head and smiled at Lee Sung-min.

“When I look at you, I often feel ashamed of myself. ”

“…… Yes? ”

“It's been over half a year since I met you and traveled with you. Do you remember the first time you met the script half a year ago? ”

“I remember. ”

Lee Sung-min nodded and replied. It was a coincidence that I met a miner from the north.

No, maybe it's not a coincidence. Maybe it's fate.

I didn't want to think so deeply about what fate is, but if fate really exists, it is the fate of the meeting in the north.

The encounter with Guangcheon Horse was sudden, and as he met the Guangcheon Horse, he was able to get directions about what to do and where to go.

“You were stronger then, but weaker than usual. ”

“I did.”

In fact, Lee almost died fighting the miners. If he hadn't stepped up, he would have died.

“And shortly thereafter, you have advanced at an incredible rate. Bloody hell... By the time I killed Wireless, you were already on the same page. And in Rubes, you've crossed the line, and now you're just a few steps ahead of the line. ”

“Are you feeling self-conscious? ”

“I felt that 10 years ago. When I first saw a transcendental drone, I felt a sense of self-esteem. I realized how big the world was, how small I was. ”

The miner said so, smiling low.

“I don't feel a sense of self. I'm not discouraged by the comparison between you and the script. We pride ourselves on our work. We've been out of business for 10 years, but we haven't been transcendent, and that's okay. In fact, in the last 10 years, photophobia has kept us from going into thin air. But not anymore. ”

The miner said, staring at the fire.

“I'm glad the script met you. You're the savior of the table. He cured photosensitivity, and he made sure it engraved his enthusiasm for the job. ”

Lee Sung-min was silent.

Comparing yourself to others. Despair.

Lee Sung-min also felt a number of times in the past. Lee knew that overcoming that misery was never easy.

“Sleep first. I'll stand guard. ”

“Shouldn't you be able to sleep less? ”

Guangcheon Ma smiled and said.

The miner casts a crown and enters the weather breakfast.

Lee Seong-min stopped looking like that. It is far from transcendent that a thousand millennia of unmanned people have not reached it in 10 years.

Lee Seong-min has progressed since the fight with Amzon, but has not yet transcended.

It's far.

Although he had already reached transcendence in the spiritual world, even if he had such memories, the way to transcendence in this body was only a long way away.

Sims, chi, and sieves were fixed, but it was a long and long way.

When the sun comes up in the morning. The group settles down and starts walking with the demonic guide again.

Aladur was reluctant to go towards the elderly, but after hearing the details, he seemed to agree.

“Tribes...... There are a lot of forests in the south, so there are a lot of minorities. There's no end to finding them one by one. ”

“I remember the location of the great river. ”

“You'd better not trust the position too much. We don't settle in one place unless it's a chaotic tribe. Didn't you say 10 years ago? Perhaps the tribe has already left the area you remember. ”

Aladur points out that the berserker is embarrassed.

If so, then the journey of relying on only one memory was wrong from the beginning.

Aladur crosses his arms, looking at the expression on his face.

“I'd like to pay you for your meal, but I can't use tracking magic just by memory. ”

“Did you get anything from the tribe back then? ”

Lee asked a question of jealousy. I thought about it for a moment.

After a while, he clears his throat and rummages through the subspace pockets.

“Yes… that… means… khmm! ”

What the shameful miner took out was a bracelet made of string.

The light faded long ago, but the shape of the bracelet remained.

“What's that? ”

“Th-this bracelet... was given to me by that tribe ten years ago. ”

“You got it from a woman! ”

Aladur laughs and says, Guangcheon Ma shut her mouth, avoiding her gaze for no reason.

Aladur picks up his bracelet with both hands and starts chanting the mantra as he sweeps his lips. The bracelet is covered in black smoke.

“Don't burn it! ”

“Don't worry, I won't. ”

Guangzhen urgently shouted, and Aladur smiled in vain.

Smoke seeps into Aladur's nostrils.

Aladur nods, breathing heavily.

“Hmm.”

Aladur closes his eyes.

“I see where you are. ”

“Where?”

“Let's just go out into the woods. ”

Aladur turns his bracelet back to the miners and smiles.

“Not that far. ”
