บท 102: Episode 102: The Sword of Death (1)
To take refuge in King Mangeum and become a member of the Cheongeumdang?
"… … ."
Well, there is also an ending that can only be unlocked if you belong to the Tengeumdang.
A representative example is the ending of [Guardian of the Heavenly Golden Temple].
Even if it is not such an honest ending, you can try the [Master of Treasure] ending or the [Usurper of Dreams] ending if you make good use of your status as a member of the Heavenly Golden Temple.
Perhaps because it reflects the goblins' tendencies, episodes related to Cheongeumdang are generally less bloody.
If you are only seeking personal safety, this is an option worth considering.
"What is the answer?"
"Of course I don't like it."
"Even though you can receive treatment and compensation beyond what you imagined and dreamed of?"
"Anyway, from the moment I put my name under King Mangeum, won't King Mangeum decide what I can imagine and dream about?"
I will live a life for King Mangeum under the illusion that I originally wanted it.
And it will be a completely different existence from what I was until now.
"Clark…" … "Yes, I know it's an inedible persimmon, but I thought I'd give it a try."
"Please let me out now."
"Go. "If you feel like you can't complete the task, just bring back what I gave you."
I once again paid my respects to King Mangeum.
"thank you."

As soon as my vision became clear, a huge amount of messages flooded my eyes.
"Huh?"
Whilick!
At that moment, I feel like something is grabbing my ankle. uh? Wait, what?! I tried to keep my balance, but I ended up losing my balance and taking a few steps back.
"Stop, don't come any closer!"
It's the professor's voice. Very urgent? Huh??
"Ugh!? "Gyo, professor?"
"Ugh!"
Apparently, there was a professor behind me.
It is difficult for a person in a wheelchair to avoid something quickly. I ended up tangling with the professor and falling.
Craddangtang!
Ugh, I don't even know where or how I hit it.
"Oh, you're a wizard. "Please get out of the way!"
"wait a minute. This is... … ."
I want to stand up quickly, but it's not easy.
This is because new message windows are still being displayed.
[Quest accepted!

If you fail: (lose the battle) you die. (Gives up the fight) King Mangeum is disappointed.]
shit. Move!
I continued to wave my hand to scatter the message windows in front of me.
"Bahahaha! "You are a very sincere Mr. Kim."
"Ugh, what does that mean?"
"How can I say that you are not sincere when you show such interesting acrobatics even while construction is busy?"
"Captain Cheongeum… … "Please help us get up."
"Yes, I understand. Kim Seo-bang will get better."
However, Seo Cheon-seul did not move his body to help us.
When he clapped his hands, the wheelchair that was rolling on the floor bounced upright and stood upright.
I stood up holding onto the wheelchair and helped the professor.
After shaking around Busan for so long, we were barely able to do anything else.
"Hmm, first of all, first of all, you are a wizard. First of all, I mean, first of all... … ."
"Yes, ugh. "Professor, please take these first."
During the fall, the objects hanging on the professor's wheelchair also fell.
I quickly summoned up my magic to collect the fallen items and handed them one by one into the professor's arms.
"Well, that's… … ."
"Why are you like that… … what?"
The last thing I gave to the professor was a jojok lantern.
A precious object that can be used as an entrance ticket to Cheongeumdang and has the power to brighten the way home at any time.
"I don't think that's mine."
The problem is that the professor already has a hand in his hands.
"No, what on earth do you mean…" … ?"
So, Jojok, etc… … .
One in my hand.
One in the professor's hand too.
"Jojok, etc… … 2?"
In the midst of the commotion, the Jojok Light changed into two lights.
As if possessed by a goblin. Ah, goblin.
"It's a goblin joke."
"Aha, I understand. "It looks like you also got a ticket."
[Achievement achieved! You have won a ticket to the Heavenly Golden Temple.
You have earned the 'Premium Achievement: Dream Curse Shop'.
As a reward for the achievement, you become friendly with 'Force: Thousand Geumdang' and gain additional experience points.]
"Yes, it looks like that."
No matter how sudden the situation was, there is no way a person of the professor's stature would have fallen so helplessly over something of this magnitude.
Moreover, before I fell, I felt something grabbing my ankle. This is King Mangeum's prank.
"It's something that can't be taken easily, so congratulations. But I wouldn't have just accepted it, and if the Great King... … ."
The professor tried to say something more, but was stopped by Seo Cheon-seul.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Kim wearing a mask. I'm sorry, but this place is important to us, right? Plus, other customers are starting to come in. know?"
Seo Cheon-seul said a few more times, 'You know? 'You know, right?' he repeated, gesturing to the back.
While I was being held captive by King Mangeum, I guess traffic through Cheongeumdang was restored again, and I can see the ghosts flocking to the other side.
"Okay, I guess we should reopen here too."
"Then Captain Cheongeum, please excuse me."
"Yes, I will clear the way and follow you, so you guys can rest there for a while."
Seo Cheon-seul pointed to the hanok located closest to this hall, that is, the altar of King Mangeum.
It happens to be a hanok with a large daecheong floor.
"It would be nice and comfortable if you could sit on the pebbles. "It's also nice to be able to see the guests at least."
"Ah, thank you."
"Bahahaha, Kim, please don't go to strange places for no reason. Stay within my visible range. "Because I have something to deliver to Mr. Kim."
"Professor, let's move it first."
So the professor and I moved to the main hall.
As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I felt a little nervous and sat down right there.
Of course, you can't completely relax here, but you can't help but feel weak in your legs.
So many unexpected things happened in a short period of time.
"What did King Mangeum say?"
The professor, who was still sitting in the wheelchair, asked with a serious expression.
Well, how far should I go?
I tried to explain it out of habit, but I realized that wouldn't work well with this guy.
In the end, I muttered, 'Er, I don't know,' and then told the professor.
"King Mangeum gave me a task."
"A task?"
"yes. "Look at this."
At some point, I showed the professor the sword that had been hanging on my waist.
A straight black blade is pulled out from the scabbard.
The Big Dipper and various constellations from the East are embossed on the sword, which is as shiny as obsidian, and shines in silver.
I can't afford to wear a mask, but I can't believe I have such a fancy ceremonial sword. I can't even imagine how I look to outsiders.
"This is a sword, so… … "It's the four evil swords?"
Saingeom is a sword cast on Innyeon, Inwol, Inil, and Insi (In = 寅, tiger).
If you make it at that specific time, it will have the energy of a tiger?
The Sainchamsageom is a sword in which a special procedure is added to imbue the sword with pure energy. A sword that cuts down unclean things.
It is a ceremonial sword that is closer to a magic tool than a weapon.
"no. This-."
But this is not a death investigation.
"-It's the four true swords."
"True? "A sword that cuts down the right thing?"
"That's right. "This is a cursed sword entrusted to you by Vasilisa's broker."
"So you intentionally created a curse during the making process? But why did this come back to you?"
"It is difficult for me to understand King Mangeum's thoughts. This sword appears to have another counterpart. "He told me to defeat the sword's owner."
"Huh."
The professor massaged his chin and opened his mouth in surprise.
"I have brought famous fixers and prominent fighters here before, but I have never seen anyone receive such a request."
"It's not because I'm great. "I guess I just happened to need someone who could take on this task at the right time."
"No, if it were that simple, I would have ordered it from Captain Cheongeum or others under his command."
Then the professor returned the autograph sword to me and continued speaking.
"As expected, you seem to have something special about you. "I don't know what will happen in the future, but I hope we can meet for a bit longer."
As he said that, he looked at me as if he were looking at someone who won the lottery.
But receiving that attention, I have complicated feelings.
King Mangeum is the god of fortune who rules over the goblins, and is a good god with the power to defeat disasters and curses... … It is known as
As the professor said, if the relationship with King Mangeum can continue in a good way, you will be able to receive unprecedented blessings in the world.
'… … Anyway, that's the general position.'
The reality is a bit more complicated than that.
King Mangeum is actually the Avatar of a more complex and dangerous being.
Old God, [Ruler of Old Dreams].
The first suggestion, that is, the suggestion to say a wish, originated from the will of the [Lord of Old Dreams] behind King Mangeum.
Since I rejected the offer, the task was given in the name of King Mangeum, who was of lesser rank.
The problem is that it is impossible to guess how performing this task is related to the true body of King Mangeum.
This is a hidden quest that you have never encountered while playing the game.
Therefore, we do not know what the outcome of the quest will be.
There is too little information about the target I need to defeat.
After concentrating for a moment, I was able to recall one of the contents of the message window that had been printed out and then disappeared. As expected, I have a good memory, so this is convenient.
[You have become the owner of the Sain True Sword (Nokjon). Depending on the fate given to the owner of the Sain Cham Jeong Sword (Nokjon), you will face off against the owner of the Sain Cham Jeong Sword (Mungok).]
'Take down the owner of the Sainchassa Sword?'
Sain disaster sword is just a title. Among the artifact-level items that appear in [Cthulhu World], there are more items with that name than you might think.
Including things that appear without significance, only what I actually witnessed and remember... … Wow, don't be surprised.
'Forty-four sacks to be exact.'
