Raid Breaker

< [Chapter 9] Yongin Colony (1) >

@ Yongin Colony.

“I usually do it behind the back of my hand or behind my neck the most. But nowadays, if you make it that way, you get suspicious and you just do it in the right place. ”

Soohyuk's visit was an illegal place to practice tattooing. Of course, tattooing in Colonies was not illegal. But at least this shop was illegal.

The reason this shop was illegal was simple.

The tattoo you give here...... was strangely similar to the strange pattern knights present as a token of Awakening.

To be precise, it was modestly composed of these strange symbols.

Fraudsters called 'Peck Knight’ came straight here and engraved a fake Awakening Token on their bodies.

The Colony government, of course, outlawed this behavior. Not only did I stipulate it, I also strongly enforced it. Nevertheless, many people carved fake Awakening Tokens on their bodies and pretended to be knights.

“I'll just carve it on my back.

Of course, Suhyuk did not engrave a fake Awakening Token to cheat.

“Then I will engrave it on my back as the default. ”

“Yes, please do that. ”

Suhyuk nodded and lay on the bed, and the tattoo operator immediately began to engrave a fake Awakening Sign on Suhyuk's body.

Of course, the fake Awakening Token did not emit light when using abilities like the real one. But it didn't seem difficult to dress up properly, at least because it looked almost identical to the real thing.

Suhyuk carved this false sign of Awakening on his body just in case.

Soohyuk, who gained the transcendence system, has certainly become a different being than ordinary people. However, if it was known that Soohyuk was not a knight, Soohyuk could have been treated like a laboratory monkey.

In other words, the token of false Awakening was a means to hide Suhyuk's transcendence system. Soohyuk intended to pose as a knight if anyone doubted his special power.

* * * *

Soohyuk, who quickly engraved a fake Awakening Token on his back wing bone, immediately escaped from the water colony. Like Seo Won-tae said, he was not going to go near the Suwon colony for a while.

After escaping the Suwon colony, Soohyuk moved towards the coordinates that Seowon Tae gave him.

The coordinates point to a place where "Korean folk village" once held the history of Korea.

But now only traces of the Korean people's village remained.

About two years ago, a class 5 monster appeared nearby and created the code 'Red', and as a result the area was completely devastated.

Luckily, the Blue Wing Knights' teamwork with the Blue Dragon Crisis Brigade from Suwon Colony was able to defeat the grade 5 monsters, but it was inevitable that the neighborhood was a mess.

‘But this was a place where people didn't come after the battle...... Do you think it would matter if they died? ’

Soohyuk came to near the coordinates that Seo Won-tae told him about, slightly tilting his head. There was a powerful dimensional explosion in the battle here, and the area was known to be contaminated by dimensional forces. However, it felt a bit strange to say that people live in such a place.

- Surrounding residual dimensions are close to zero.

Really? ’

- I'm sure.

How could the aftermath of a dimensional explosion disappear so easily? I heard it was quite a big explosion.... ’

- We don't know what's going on before or after, but it's not contaminated by any dimensions around here at the moment.

"That's amazing."

Soohyuk takes another peek around, then rides his bike again. As I rode my bike a little further, I was able to reach the coordinates Seo Won-tae told me about.

But... there was really nothing there like Seo Won-tae said.

Who's coming out of this hellhole? ’

- It's not empty.

What's that supposed to mean? ’

- The right thing to do is to take dimensional force and do a thorough search, but there's a slight Mana reaction in the anterior chamber. This is my guess…… but I think there's something hidden in the front with Mana Transparency Technology.

Mana Transparency Technology? Is there such a thing? ’

- Based on the information that comes to mind, this is a technique that will be announced officially in a few years.

‘Wow...... I guess the Mado Engineer is really here, just like you said. ’

“Mad Dog sent me. ”

Suhyuk, who confirmed that there was something, stood still and waited for the reaction after speaking as Seo Won-tae told him to.

How long have I been waiting?

Suddenly, a door appeared in the air with nothing.

Shoot!

And the door opened.

“Did you send this? ”

Surprisingly, the person who opened the door and appeared was very different from the person whom Soohyuk expected.

What was particularly surprising was that it was not "him," but "her."

She was dressed in an old, oversized body armor. There, while wearing a baseball cap upside down, the atmosphere was strange because he was biting on his mouth a lotus candle that looked like a ‘cigarette.’

I couldn't make the right decision because I was wearing large, scorched work glasses, but it didn't look like it matched much with Mado Engineering.

“Oh, yes…… I've been introduced by President Seo Won-Tae. ”

Soohyuk, who expected a dull man to be waiting for him, was somewhat embarrassed when a woman who looked almost his age appeared.

“Why are you here? ”

“Don't you need Adamantium or Manastone or something? ”

Suhyuk skipped all the gossip and straight to the point. Soohyuk did not like the rhetorical conversation.

“Oh! Yes! I need it."

“I have a lot of those... ”

“If the man who sells everything but human lives sends it to me... is it a merchandise? ”

“There's no such thing as jewelry. ”

“The complications of not being a jewel and not being able to sell it on the black market. ”

“It's not that complicated. They're all from my own hunt, and they're not a big deal. I'm just being cautious because it's a little misleading. ”

“Oh, you hunted yourself?

“Yes.”

“So…… is it…… Shadow Knight? ”

Su-hyuk said he hunted for himself, so she carefully asked.

“Well, roughly. ”

Soohyuk did not deny it. Of course, Soohyuk wasn't really Shadow Knight. He only disguised himself in the simplest way because he had an inexplicable power and an inexplicable situation.

These so-called Shadow Knights, or Shadow Knights, were simply those who denied the existence of the WKG. They ignored the Night's obligations and used their abilities only at their own discretion.

The Knights were the only ones with the power to save humanity in a situation like this where humanity was threatened.

In a word, they were heroes.

Of course, the hero had to take responsibility. So the World Nights Association came along and they made some laws that Night must keep.

These laws were the least that Knight, the hero of humanity, could keep.

Most knights accepted this law because it was neither difficult nor detrimental to the knights. But there were, of course, those who did not accept it.

They refused to keep the law for a number of reasons.

The World Night Association and the World Colony have warned these people in a number of ways that they will face significant penalties if they fail to keep the law.

When he did, almost every night was bound to keep the law, even though he was reluctant.

However, as always, there are those who insist that they will not accept until the end.

The World Nights Association deprived them of their knighthood and reaped all the benefits. The World Colony has also deprived them of their citizenship.

Those who were thrown out of the colony without citizenship, even though they didn't receive a citizenship...... were only a few small colonies with little influence by the United Nations of World Colonies, but they didn't accept it easily.

So they just wandered outside the colony, and they were referred to collectively as' Shadow Knights. ’

“Wow, I've never seen Shadow Knight before. ”

“You're not very good at it. ”

“Shadow Knight is enough to be recognized in today's world. Honestly, people who awaken to night are like plants in a greenhouse...... I can't believe it. ”

She shakes her head and fingers the lotus weed that was in her mouth and turns it off.

Then he looked at Suhyuk and opened his mouth again.

“Now, enough chatter…… what can you give me? ”

“A few of the lowest Manatones and Adamantium have the bones of a Magician. ”

Suhyuk did not talk about the lesser Manathon and the compressed adamantium taken from a Class 3 monster. I thought it would be better to sell it for a good price later, so I decided to keep it a bit longer.

“Oh! There's so many of you. I want them all! But... I don't know if you heard from him, but I can't pay for them. ”

“I heard something. So what do I get out of giving them? ”

“In a nutshell…… you can get the stuff I made. I can make you anything you want. I can make most of the stuff that I can, in small part, do, from manufacturing things like martan, Dimensional Rifle, Dimensional Sword, Protective Barding, etc. I'll make everything you can use up to 70% of the ingredients you give me. Give me the other 30 percent. ”

She points to the cigarette butt in her hand and talks hard.

“80%. And 20 percent in return. ”

“Eww... It's too salty. ”

“It's only natural to work with your life. ”

“Okay, then do it. ”

Bargaining was not too difficult. She's very hungry, like Seo Won Tae said.), so Soohyuk was able to adjust the percentage very simply.

“I'm Kang Sung-hyuk. ”

“I'm a eunuch. ”

After the bargain was over, Soohyuk told me his name. It was natural that we should know each other's names since we agreed to make a deal.

“Phew, thank God. Honestly, it's been so hard to find the research materials for a month... ”

The silver letter lets out a sigh of relief and pulls out a Mana Yeon Herb again from his pocket. She originally only took one out, but then she glanced at Soohyuk and took out one more Gabby.

“Do you want one?”

Eunhyuk gave Manayeon Herb to Suhyuk.

“Is this... a cigarette? ”

Soohyuk had never smoked, but he had heard that the upscale people of the rich colony were looking for cigarettes.

Cigarettes were one of the most lost heritages of the past. They were so rare that they were so expensive that they could never smoke unless they had a lot of money.

“Oh, how expensive are the cigarette leaves? I would get them and make cigarettes. This is not a cigarette, but one of the most common ingredients used by the Mado Engineers is a plant called Manacho that has been dried and made like a cigarette. ”

Manacho was a plant that was used as dye to engrave the circuit when Mado engineers made various Mana circuits.

The Mado-engineer who first produced the plant, Manacho, was Dr. James Stein, called the father of the Mado-engineers.

He showed this to other Mado engineers for free, and Mado Engineering was able to develop much faster.

Of course, no one knew who was the first mathematician to dry this and make it look like a cigarette. However, Manajancho made like this did not taste as good as cigarettes. Rather, it tasted a little bitter. However, when it was found that smoking this has a very weak effect on neutralizing dimensional forces, it seems that many of the Mado Engineers who were forced to be exposed to dimensional forces were also living on managing herbs.

However, curious Soohyuk took the manamanamanage from the Eunuch and did exactly what she did.

Phew.

“Queek, queek……. ”

Suhyuk, who inhaled a lot of smoke, coughed lightly. At that moment, I heard a message that I had not thought of.
