[Sword Master’s Blade Necklace]

This necklace made by Sword Master Lake from his first sword gives special abilities to those who walk the path of a great sword.

Grade: Legendary.

Conditions for wearing: Inspection level 6 or higher.

Swordsmanship +40,

Stamina +20

, Mana +20,

Achievement of all swordsmanship attributes + 10%,

Power of sword skills +10%

-Ouch!

“Crazy...”

Baek Woo-jin stared blankly at the item window as if he was lost.

I wondered if there was such a crazy item that would increase your swordsmanship by 40 with just one necklace.

‘Amingeomdo is 25, but it’s 40!’

The same legendary item, Amingeomdo, only increases swordsmanship by 25.

In fact, it was so high that it could not be described as ‘outside of’ 25 sword skills, but it was far short of the sword saint’s blade necklace.

-That’s not all!

The darkness that had fallen behind trembled and approached the necklace.

-Look at the options below.

‘Achievement of all swordsmanship attributes and the power of sword skills...’

-Yes. That’s even crazier!

The darkness screamed.

-That means that it will increase the abilities of all sword techniques you have learned so far and all sword techniques you will learn in the future by 10%.

‘Huh...’

– If you get that 10% achievement, you will be able to cut what cannot be cut and break what cannot be broken. Additionally, since the swordsmanship ability increases by 40, the effect of this option will be even greater.

The darkness was so excited that it spat out words rapidly.

-This is too much! What a stupid system. What are you thinking?!

‘I’m going crazy again.’

Baek Woo-jin shook his head when he saw the darkness struggling.

-What on earth are you trying to use by turning this guy into a monster?

‘Whew...’

Baek Woo-jin left the darkness behind and put on the blade necklace around his neck.

I felt like my fingertips had become more sensitive. If you go back and practice, you will immediately see the difference.

“What on earth happened?”

A talented person approached Baek Woo-jin. The other talented people behind him also had faces filled with doubts.

“It looks like he tried to blow himself up to kill me.”

“Self-destruction?”

“Huh!”

At the sound of self-destruction, the talented people made a sound of air and stepped back.

“When I grabbed the boss and was about to go back, I was attacked by her. “It seems they knew they couldn’t defeat me and tried to kill themselves as a last resort.”

“So...”

“Ah...”

The talented people shook their heads with their faces ashen. It was so absurd what happened.

-Why are you lying?

‘To catch the guy behind Baek Seon-ah off guard.’

Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists.

‘I should gather information when I think he hasn’t been caught.’

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes glowed blue like a wild beast looking for its prey.

* * *

The fact that Baek Woo-jin and Baek Seon-ah entered the same dungeon and came out alone spread around the world faster than ever.

-This is a really crazy family.

-Honestly, I knew it would end up like this.

-Baek Seon-ah is also amazing. Are you going to kill yourself because you can’t beat your younger brother?

-Is the information that he committed suicide certain?

-Sure. The testimonies of all competent people who entered were consistent.

-Then there is nothing wrong with Baek Woo-jin.

-Nothing. You were attacked by Baek Seon-ah when you were returning after capturing the Lizardman Fighter and the Lizardman King.

-It’s not like it’s not there. Baek Woo-jin built a stone wall with Earth Reno to protect others.

– Well, he can’t do that. The title is Hyeopgeom.

Because Baek Woo-jin’s reputation was so good and many talented people saw Baek Sun-ah commit suicide alone, there were almost no people who criticized Baek Woo-jin.

-Anyway, Baekga is really scary. Self-destruction.

-Everyone is the same except Baek Woo-jin. At least the third one, Baek Seong-hyeon, is a bit better.

-Even if I was born into a white family, I don’t think I would have been able to survive and would have run away from home. Ugh!

Tuk.

The man who read the article and comments turned off his smartphone and stood up. His face was not visible because of the shadow of the tree.

“Wouldn’t that cause trouble?”

A middle-aged prosecutor with a sturdy physique appeared behind the man. The word ‘blue’ was engraved on his scabbard.

“Seeing as Baek Seon-ah is said to have died by suicide, that doesn’t happen. If you take a black herbal medicine, it explodes in less than a minute. “I don’t even have time to talk.”

The man smiled leisurely. His voice was soft, unlike his harsh words.

“It’s a shame. “I thought that explosive power could even kill Woojin.”

The golden herbal medicine and black herbal medicine that were given to Baek Seon-ah were one set from the beginning. Not as a medicine for growth, but as a medicine for self-destruction.

The method was to inflate the aura with a gold pill and pop it with a black pill, as if popping a balloon that was inflated to the point of bursting with a needle.

In other words, Baek Seon-ah was played into this man’s hands from the beginning.

“If the information got out, the head of the family...”

“The person who put them in the same dungeon was their father. “Even though he knows I did it, he doesn’t move.”

The man waved his finger and curled the corners of his mouth.

Since Baek Cheon-hwa personally told him to reduce the number of successor candidates, he will not take any action regarding Baek Seon-ah’s death.

“I guess I’ll have to use another method when Woojin remembers me as a good older brother.”

She handed Baek Woo-jin a drink and placed the remaining drink in front of herself.

“What happened?”

“Later. “Please tell me first why the prosecutor came.”

Eugene waved his hand and drank coffee.

“There is someone I would like to investigate.”

“Who is it?”

“This is Baek Seong-hyeon.”

Yujinah’s hand, which was drinking coffee, stopped. She carefully put down the glass and looked at Baek Woo-jin.

“Are you Baek Sung-hyeon, the third of the Baek family?”

“That’s right.”

Baek Woo-jin finished speaking and took a sip of coffee. Maybe the coffee was wrong or something was wrong with my tongue, but I only felt a bitter taste.

“Please research everything he has seen and done in the past month. “If I can afford it, what I do now and the people I meet.”

“You can do it. But...”

Yujinah continued, tapping her finger on the coffee cup.

“As far as I know, you are on good terms with the third person...”

“Good. “It’s the best.”

“Could it be that he was involved in Prosecutor Baek Seon-ah’s death?”

“As expected, you are quick-witted.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded and told Yoo Jin-ah the simple situation.

“So something like that happened.”

“Please do so. Please do research on Seonghyeon Baek. “There is a minimum of information, but you must never be caught.”

“Sure.”

“Please also find out where this bracelet came from. “It is highly likely that it is related to Baek Seong-hyeon.”

Baek Woo-jin handed over two jewel bracelets worn by prosecutors of the Aegumdae.

“We will do our best to investigate.”

Yujinah nodded heavily as she received the bracelet.

“Now it’s the branch manager’s turn. “What do you want me to do?”

Baek Woo-jin put down his finished coffee cup.

“It’s a bit hard to say in the current situation.”

Eugene waved his hand. In this situation, I hesitated to ask Baek Woo-jin for a favor.

“So far, I have received help from the branch manager more than once or twice. “Please feel free to speak.”

-okay. I owe a lot.

‘that’s right. ‘It’s a contractual relationship.’

He and Yoo Jin-ah are in a relationship where they joined hands to achieve each other’s goals.

So far, I have asked Yoo Jin-ah many favors, and she has resolved everything without any mistakes. Now it’s time to grant her request.

“Ah...”

Yoo Jin-ah’s expression suddenly changed to be moved by Baek Woo-jin’s words. I even started to shed tears.

“Don’t act.”

“Ahahaha!”

Eugene, who looked like she was about to shed tears at any moment, burst into laughter.

“You’re not fooled.”

“Because I’m not good at acting.”

“The prosecutor really seems like an old young man. It takes everyone under 30. Huh...”

Eugene licked his lips with regret.

“Still, the hard work pays off. “I feel relieved to hear that Hyeopgeom of the Shingeombaekga will personally help you.”

The smile Yu Jin-ah smiled this time was sincere.

“There is a final exam to select the deputy general manager of Black Market’s Seoul headquarters.”

“Deputy manager?”

“It is ranked 5th in the Korean black market.”

“But the last exam is....”

“I’ve already taken three exams and there’s only one left.”

“Incredible!”

Baek Woo-jin exhaled admiration.

I thought it was amazing that she stayed until the end, as the position of deputy general manager would have involved proven and capable people.

“Seeing as you’re asking me for help, I guess the final exam is like sparring.”

“The prosecutor is just as perceptive as me.”

Eugene clapped her hands as if she was impressed.

“The final test is networking. The purpose of the test is to bring in strong talents and put them on the battlefield.”

“How many people are left?”

“There are 8 people including me.”

“It’s eight rivers.”

“Three people participate in the duel, and it is a survival style where each person fights one by one, so I think the prosecutor only needs to step forward when there is danger.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. Working hard is the easiest. If it’s something like this, I can help you as much as I can.

In addition, the power of those skilled in the black market will be unusual, so it will be helpful for training.

“Can you help me?”

“of course.”

“thank you!”

Yujinah bowed her head deeply.

“We were in the same boat. “We must help each other.”

“thank you. “If I become deputy general manager, it will be easier to obtain information.”

A blush appeared on Yoo Jin-ah’s cheeks, as if she had already imagined herself as the head of the division.

“It would be better to hide the prosecutor’s identity. “It could damage your reputation, and secret weapons are meant to be hidden.”

“All right.”

There is no need to hide your identity since you have the mask of a demon.

“What’s the schedule?”

“It will be held in the basement of Black Market headquarters in a week.”

“Okay, then...”

A hologram window appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin, who was about to get up from his seat.

Ding!
