Capítulo 132: Episode 132: Sejong, the City of Hopeful Happiness
Late at night.
A straight, straight road somewhere in South Chungcheong Province.
It is a remote road with no buildings in sight. Meanwhile, it was late, so there were no other vehicles in sight except the call van I was riding in.
In the seat next to him, i.e. the driver's seat, Jang Hyeon-deok, looking pale and sweating, is stepping on the accelerator.
Buwaaaaaa!
The harsh sound of the engine and the tremendous wind noise make it seem like my ears are going deaf.
But there is no other sound.
"Has it been roughly sorted out?"
It seems that Jang Hyeon-deok is having a hard time accepting my words as they are.
I nervously twisted my head and looked up at the sky several times before opening my mouth.
"Okay, is it over? Did you get bullied? really?"
I meant to say "I really mean it this time", but something suddenly blocked my vision.
[you are… … .]
It's a message window. What nonsense are you talking about again?
"Get away from me!"
Unable to hold back his surging blood pressure, he released a bolt of electricity.
Squeeze!
Blue lightning flashing bright blue inside a narrow car.
"Aaaah!!"
Good profit!!
Jang Hyeon-deok was surprised to see - and let go of the steering wheel while screaming.
The scenery outside the car window rotates at incredible speed. Argh! The car is spinning! "You idiot! Get behind the wheel!" Wow!! "Whose fault is this!" Good! A rush of guardrails. "Ugh!"
Fortunately, the car stabilized just before the crucial moment. Ugh, what kind of crazy guy used magic in a moving car?
"Wizard! Why on earth are you doing this! Are you out of your mind?!"
"Oh sorry. "Suddenly my mental illness took over so I stopped."
[Quest completed!
<Bounty Quest: Monsters of Unjeong Station>
Reward: 1,250,000XP + 120,000,000 won]
Anyway, is the quest completed? I can't level up like this anymore.
"It's okay now. "Mission complete."
"Haaaa… … really? She really almost died. "They said it was just a long distance migration, but why do I have to chase monster birds!"
"You said from the beginning that we would solve one simple task on the way to Sejong City, right?"
From the beginning, we promised to cover the cost including that and set off.
"Dozens of monster birds with a wingspan of 12 meters is a simple task?"
"But you resolved it in a cool way, right? "Isn't it really the best to make money comfortably?"
"Last time, you said it was a simple matter and dragged me to Tanhyeon. Why on earth are you doing this to me? "Have you become enemies with me?"
"what? "You have a foul mouth for a taxi driver who dragged people to their deaths from the very first moment."
"Ugh, that's the teacher who was taken to Tanhyeon last time!"
"Yes, you're right. I'm sorry, Hyeondeok."
"Oh really! "Stop doing that!"
what? This doesn't work anymore.
"As I said earlier, it was according to my calculations from beginning to end."
"Can't you include my Bungboong's safety in that calculation?"
"Bungbung is going safely."
Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, Jang Hyeon-deok suddenly turned around and pointed to the roof of the back seat.
"Look at that! That one!"
Good!
"hey! Look ahead! "Ahead!"
There is a hole in the roof of the rear seat large enough for a human torso to pass through. Because of that, the sound of the wind coming into the car is so loud that it's killing me.
[Sound wave distortion]
After creating a barrier to block sound, it became much more comfortable.
"That was also within the calculation range. "When you get money from Tudor, take the cost of repairs with you."
Knowing this would happen, I deposited the repair cost in advance with Tudor.
"Please, from next time, please leave Bungboongi out of that calculation."
"They told me to put it in, and then I told them to take it out, and then they did whatever they wanted."
"Ugh… … . But where did those birds go?"
A huge monster with a wingspan of over 12 meters is often called 'that bird'.
"Well, it's probably still flying around here. "I guess it's up there in the clouds?"
"It's okay to leave it like that…" … Will? "This is a town where there aren't any worthy problem solvers, right?"
"Anyway, the request was to clean it up in Paju, right? And if you go a little further down, you will come to a neighborhood with many problem solvers. "They will take care of it."
Actually, I didn't plan on leaving it alone, but I just said it because it was annoying.
It may have been a rude remark, but Jang Hyeon-deok made an expression as if it was just that. Well, this guy is not a naive civilian either.
This is Jochiwon.
If you go a little further down, you will find Sejong City, an enormous city of the future.
"Okay, anyway, I'm just driving for a bit. "Let's talk to Tudor."
At first, I started talking to Tudor, but what Tudor said was the same as Jang Hyeon-deok.
- self? Why did you take it there?
"Were you watching?"
-Giggles, how do you see it? Unlike you, I am a modern person, so I found out by looking at the Internet. Real-time search terms right now are no joke.
Internet? Oh, that's right, because this isn't a game.
It feels awkward when the inhabitants of this world interact with me in a different way than how they are presented in the game.
I slowly took my smartphone away from my ear and checked the Internet window, and there were a lot of real-time search keywords such as monster bird, monster bird, monster in the sky, monster bird in Chungcheong-do, monster bird in Jochiwon, Cheongju emergency, monster in Cheongju, great collapse, monster in Cheonan, etc.
"Everyone has been living comfortably so far, right? "How long has it been since those monsters started flying over Unjeong Station and now we have to search for monsters in Chungcheong-do in real time?"
It's already been a month since those birds started being spotted above Unjeong Station.
- That's because no one is really interested in what's happening in Paju. Anyway, why did you take it all the way to Chungcheong Province?
"You asked me to remove the monster birds at Unjeong Station, so I did so, right? "I asked them to do it and everyone was very dissatisfied?"
Having said that, I don't think there will be any complaints. Anyway, the quest was marked as completed.
- Well, it doesn't matter since I went outside of Paju. But are you going to leave it there? People in Chungcheong-do will like it, right?
You'll like it. They'll probably like it so much that they'll put a bounty on my head.
"We will eventually get rid of it."
- No, is it going too far? where are you? How far do you plan on going down? If we go further there… … .
"As expected, you see something strange?"
- You mean the Internet? I got it because the real-time search term changed. Hehe, since I only use my brain capacity for magic and magic calculations, my brain doesn't work well in other directions. Sometimes I get some fresh air and exercise.
It's sad to hear this from a witch who must have lived before the 19th century... … .
As Tudor said, 'Sejong City Monster' ranked first in real-time search terms. Slowly Sejong City.
"Anyway, it's resolved, so just deposit the money."
- Okay, okay.
"Oh, and how much repair money is left?"
-Giggles, did you crash the car again? I guess there won't be much left? For the wizard who has a lot of construction work, I will take care of the maintenance and fill it in.
"good. I'll leave the little things to you. "I'll sleep for a day and go up tomorrow."
End call.
I took a deep breath, concentrated my mind for a moment, and then spread my magic power to create a monster... … No, I checked the status of the Shantaks.
[Cheongyeon]
I can see what is happening up there in the sky.
"Kyaaaaa!!"
"Kwaeeeeek!!"
Dozens of monsters larger than most light aircraft are flying above the clouds.
Shantak.
Although they are appropriately called monster birds or monster birds, they are not just birds or beasts.
This is a heterogeneous race that frequently appears not only in [Cthulhu World] but also in the Cthulhu Mythos, which is its source material.
They are a space species (creatures that live in outer space) that have their own beliefs, their own language system, and even the ability to fly in outer space. In the first place, they are not people worth wandering around under the Earth's atmosphere.
There are dozens of such Shantaks.
It's easy to deal with them individually, but when there are that many of them, it's a different story.
"Gyaaaaa!!"
"Off!!"
Well, that doesn't mean it's very intelligent, so you can control it somehow. They are very excited right now and are chasing the few fireballs I created.
Compared to Shantak, the ratio is only the size of a human and a baseball, and their numbers are far from sufficient, but the fireballs were perfectly luring them during the long journey from Paju to here.
But there are so many enemies to avoid?
"Kyahaaaaaak!"
One Shantak, who was very upset, ended up driving a fireball into a position where it could not be avoided. Geez, are there any limits to autopilot? Just before a fireball is destroyed, I pour in my magic power to infuse the fireball with specific will and direction.
Differentiation is necessary to implement high-speed trajectory calculations, forces, directions, and three-dimensional movements in three-dimensional space in real time. Calculation complete.
A fireball that drags a long tail and creates a trajectory that no other flying vehicle can imitate. Yes, you can move like that. I understand?
"Uhryyyyyyyyyy!!!"
Those fireballs that are attracting the Shantaks are not ordinary fireballs.
They are all creatures of the other world, also called descendants of the [Living Flame], burning ones, or fire vampires.
Since it is not a simple creature, it can think on its own and has the ability to learn and apply when you are told something.
And that ability is-.
"Achilles."
Crackle!
"Now I'll hand over control again. "You can do it, right?"
-Achilles also has it.
[The unique function of the S-class magic tool 'Staff of Beacon', 'Binding of the Fire Family', is activated.
// Binding of the family of fire: Gives the owner the ability to summon and control the family of the 'living flame'.]
Attached to Achilles' body is the [Beacon Staff] previously taken from Fomalhaut's descendants. He maintains a connection with the fire vampire via Achilles.
At first, I was just trying to make a fire-breathing spirit golem, but the result was much more than that.
Achilles is a necromancer golem with the ability to summon and control the Blazing One.
I maintained synchronization with Achilles and continued to give orders. I don't know how I look to Jang Hyeon-deok.
"No, a little higher…" … Let's lure it to a more invisible place. Well done. Hey, that cloud would be suitable. Yeah, up there. good! Push it in a little more. While maintaining the direction slowly... … Yeah, it would be nice around here. "Now that's enough, just hang around and take your time."
good. If we raise it to this level, it will be possible to stop Sejong City's troubleshooters from throwing a fit, even if only for a moment.
My vision comes back.
Now, instead of seeing dozens of Shantaks and the flaming people that lure them, we see the inside of Jang Hyeon-deok's vehicle moving toward Sejong City.
"But wizard?"
And the goofy face with cheap blonde hair dye and flashy piercings, no, Jang Hyeon-deok's goofy face. His head is slightly higher than mine. It would be nice to be taller. No, not this one. It's crazy to send my mind here and there and come back.
"huh?"
"Aren't you coming back today?"
"What are you talking about? "You said this was a simple matter to take care of on the way, right?"
"It was like that. Then really… … To Sejong City?"
"okay."
"If this is a simple thing, what on earth are you planning to do in Sejong City? Are you going to turn Sejong City into a sea of fire?"
"Well, it's not completely wrong."
"yes?"
"No, I decided not to do that. Anyway, let's go to Sejong City."
"First of all, in terms of administrative district, it is Sejong City."
"Oh yeah? Is that it? "It's awesome."
I can see Sejong City.
Just as Paju in this world is a strange and dangerous city different from reality, Sejong City in Cthulhu World is a deformed megacity that has been overdeveloped using alien technology and resources.
Huge skyscrapers lined up with the power to distort the horizon, lights and lights flashing even in the dark, and a huge airship flying in the sky of the city.
Sejong is a city of hope and happiness.
