Chapter 257

#257

Zhuge Emperor (3)

The special privilege “Summon the Otherworld Transmission” has now grown to be usable every five days in otherworld time.

As soon as the cooldown time expired, Hugo came to Kang Hwan-gye and was able to enter Jegal Sega immediately through Harris’s arrangement.

‘Hmm, this is thrilling.’

As he was taking a leisurely stroll through Seganae, he smiled bitterly at the subtle wariness and hostility coming from those around him.

Well, I had no choice but to accept it, but it would have been no different from humiliation from their perspective, so I could completely understand their reaction.

‘I wish Harris had taken a softer approach.’

Because he acted so radically, the antipathy towards him probably increased accordingly.

Even though I can’t help what happened in the past, I couldn’t help but feel regretful when it actually happened.

‘I think we need to restore our relationship first. ‘What should I do?’

After Harris leaves in a few days, Hugo, now Ha Seung-hoon, will be in charge of Kang Hwan’s affairs.

Of course, even if that were the case, Zhuge Emperor would not resort to hasty maneuvers, but improving relations was essential for smooth future work.

‘There is no other place in the world with better conditions than here to naturally blend in, collect information, and increase influence.’

Although there are no particularly strong people, their power as a group is as strong as that of any other power, and they maintain friendly relationships with other political factions even after the world becomes chaotic. Geographically, they are located in the center of the continent, making expansion easy.

‘Plus, since they are a family renowned for their knowledge and ability, you will be able to receive various types of help in learning martial arts in a stable environment.’

In fact, Harris was lucky and only absorbed the martial arts in his own way, and could not be considered to have learned martial arts properly.

Therefore, it was essential for him to have the experience of learning it ‘the standard way’ at least once.

Only then will you be able to estimate how to utilize the power of martial arts in the future.

‘...Should I give you something as a gift?’

There is no one who doesn’t like gifts.

At that time, wasn’t there a lot of wealth that had been stolen from the eighteen houses of Dongdong?

However, it seemed unlikely that a Sega of this size would fall for something like that.

I don’t even know how valuable it is when the world has come to this point.

Then again, it would be better if you couldn’t easily get it with money and power, such as elixirs or new recruits...

“Excuse me. “I’m sorry, but you cannot enter from now on.”

“ah? “This place...”

While I was wandering around inside Sega, lost in thought.

Hugo stopped when he heard the words of a female warrior who suddenly appeared and blocked his path.

“This is the residence of the women of the three families, so we ask for your understanding, Ha Sohyeop.”

“...I ended up being rude while walking with these thoughts in mind. “I’ll be right back.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

As I walked around in a daze, it seemed like I had already reached Geumnam’s area.

I couldn’t just mess around in a place like this and further reduce my already low favorability rating.

He bowed his head slightly and immediately turned around to leave, when suddenly, in his ear, he heard—.

The sound of women talking came from far inside the area.

-So, what do you think...

-The situation is not so good...

‘Hmm?’

It was only a few short words, though.

He instinctively stopped and listened intently.

Hugo had only been helping the main body on Earth until now, but that didn’t mean he was helpless without any abilities.

Of course it has to be that way.

Karma based purely on status alone is close to 4 million, so how could it not be?

Even though the core of the returnees’ strength was the mystery and skills that originated from their respective worlds, their overwhelming numbers were enough to elevate his body beyond any singularity.

Of course, his senses were also far beyond the normal level.

With the concentration of “neuroticism” and the assistance of “multi-talentedness” added to it, it wasn’t that difficult to eavesdrop on the conversations of those who were talking defenselessly.

-Why are you throwing a fit again in a chaotic situation due to uninvited guests? What should I do with this?

-The elixir I brought this time didn’t last me more than 15 days. The young lady has developed a tolerance to the medicine, but the overall effectiveness of the elixir itself is decreasing. If we keep going like this, it won’t be long...

-Uh-huh! Can’t you watch your mouth? How frivolous!

-...sorry. But something needs to be done...

“...Ha Sohyeop?”

As he listened for a while, he heard the voice of the warrior who had blocked his path again.

It’s as if they’re asking why they’re still doing this even though they said they were going.

In fact, it was also true that I didn’t know much about Beoncheonhoeju.

‘If I answer a question from a smart person for no reason, I’ll end up losing money.’

In fact, you’ve probably already gotten a lot of information just from the conversation we’ve had so far, but there’s no need to spread the word even further.

And now there were more important issues than that.

Harris cleared his throat lightly and began to lay the groundwork for that.

“I am indebted to you for this, and I would like to do something in return. Not only did I break the rules, but I also unintentionally caused trouble in many ways.”

“Hehe, it’s repayment...”

“I happen to have some elixir roots. “It is a small gesture of kindness, so please accept this.”

After all, for him, the elixir was something he could gather as if digging it up from the mountain behind him, so there was nothing to spare.

I was planning to visit Mt. Wudang sometime soon and sweep it all up.

“Oh, if that’s the case, I’ll accept it gratefully.”

The Taesang family nodded with a small smile.

Of course, it was just a courtesy response to express sincerity, and it didn’t seem like he was expecting much.

Looking at him like that, Harris quietly got to the point.

“Of course, the kid I brought... Ha Seung-hoon would be even more amazing than that. Haha!”

“hmm? “What do you mean by that?”

The old man with his eyes closed slowly tilted his head.

I wondered if this absolute expert named Harry Su would be of any help to this young man who didn’t seem to have any special history.

“Oh, that kid has special powers. Of course, he also has excellent muscles and intelligence.”

Anyway, Harris is leaving soon.

Therefore, it made sense to increase Hugo’s position to cooperate with them at this time.

Of course, there is just a little bit of it...

“It is the ability to cure any disease.”

...although the medication was a bit off.

***

Magic tools made in this world cannot be used in a dimension where the energy system is completely different.

So what about divine power that borrows the power of God?

‘It’s the power of God, but there’s no way I could be affected by something like that.’

Of course, like on Earth, there were problems such as its power weakening when it crossed dimensions.

However, the cause was not the power itself, but rather a decrease in output caused by restrictions on the passage to draw it.

This does not mean that divine power does not activate at all.

Therefore, this attempt was also possible.

“Then come this way.”

Hugo followed Shibi, who was guiding him from the front, and entered a building.

This is the inside of the place he once visited.

It was a kind of sanctuary where the women of the family lived and men from outside the family were not allowed to enter.

Of course, he wasn’t invited here right away.

No matter how loud Harris’s words were, there was not enough trust between them to just trust his words and move carelessly.

At first, it was a verification of authenticity accompanied by a polite request.

〈I heard about the capabilities of Ha Sohyeop from Hae Dae-hyeop. There are sick people in my family. Could you take a look at them?〉

If he had not known anything, his attitude was so extreme that he would not even have thought it was a test, and for two days, starting with the lightly injured, he worked with the injured. I came into contact with a variety of patients, including those suffering from diseases.

Of course, the method proposed by this side could not be abused so easily, so the number of people actually treated was not that large, but since the purpose of Zhuge Dynasty’s side was to confirm the authenticity, it was not a big problem.

In the end, things turned out the way we both wanted.

“Hmm.”

Hugo unconsciously fell asleep when he saw the person lying on the bed.

A girl who looks to be about fifteen years old, with hair as black as ebony and pale skin.

The girl, who was so pathetically thin and breathing so slowly that at first glance it looked as if she was not breathing, was sleeping quietly like a corpse.

“Then let’s start treatment.”

There was no need to take any more time since it was a show done anyway to ensure smoother coordination.

Hugo approached the girl on the bed and immediately stretched out his hand towards her forehead.

‘Then please take care of me today too!’

Suddenly, in this world held in his hand, an unfamiliar star symbol began to shine dazzlingly.

Hwaeak—

While spewing out the divine power filled with the saint of the other dimension.
