Great Wizard Transcending with Mythology - chapter 27

Episode 27

“I’m not sure about this.”

After Celestia left the room, Abel’s voice echoed in my head.

“It’s good that there’s a chance for redemption for that child, but the issue with the Holy Kingdom hasn’t been properly resolved.”

“I know.”

“Moreover, you said that this would allow me to exert more influence in the Holy Kingdom, but with this current situation…”

“Ah, that’s a separate matter from this. Well, not entirely separate, but anyway.”

As expected, just as Denver did, Abel would have more influence in the Holy Church, thanks to this.

It had to be that way.

It would be really troublesome if this got complicated.

“At least we can buy ourselves about a month with this. During that time, Celestia won’t have any trouble from Eden.”

“That’s true.”

“The problem is, we need to create a potion to completely cure Celestia’s addiction to Eden…”

Celestia is suffering from the drug ‘Eden,’ and its addiction symptoms. It’s not easy even for me to obtain the ingredients for the potion to cure her.

“Other things are not difficult, but these two are problematic.”

“What are they?”

“The heart of a Ghost, and a dragon’s horn.”

“…!”

Abel fell silent.

Perhaps she was speechless. She would know what those ingredients are.

“…They all have to be obtained from the Eastern Continent. And they’re rare items that are not easy to obtain even within the Eastern Continent.”

“That’s right.”

There are creatures called ‘dragons’ on the Eastern Continent. They are similar to dragons, almost considered the same species, but they are distinct species.

Eastern dragons have thin, elongated bodies.

Of course, there are very few Eastern dragons, and they are almost treated as gods.

“Even if we go to the Eastern Continent, I can’t be sure we can get those two.”

As far as I know, the Eastern Continent is embroiled in war at this point.

Especially since that war is centered around the problem of ‘dragons,’ it’s even more of an issue.

“That’s not an easy task. Your plan isn’t to start under the assumption of restoring Celestia, that child?”

“That’s right.”

“You said it wouldn’t be easy earlier…”

“I said it would be difficult, not impossible, didn’t I?”

“Are you messing with me now?”

Abel replied irritably.

“No, did I say something wrong?”

I couldn’t have called Celestia without some idea of how to get those. Naturally, I had thought of a way to obtain them.

“Then why is it a problem?”

“Listen, Abel.”

There are really complicated circumstances here. As Kyle Grave, I have a huge dilemma to deal with, living for justice.

“As you know, I have reincarnated to live for justice.”

“…Justice?”

“I kill those who deserve to die and save those who deserve to live. That’s truly a righteous mindset.”

“…I see. So?”

“But if I go through with this plan, I can only reveal myself as a scoundrel once again.”

I said to Abel, who was looking up at the sky.

“Frankly, you felt it from our first meeting. I was quite polite.”

“What nonsense.”

“At that time, I recognized you as the representative of God and showed some respect in my own way.”

Abel remained silent for a moment.

She must be remembering the attitude I showed her with deep emotion.

Or not.

“So what? You’re going to act like a scoundrel to get those two ingredients?”

“That’s right.”

“It gets even worse from here. Um… impressive, really.”

After saying that, Abel sighed softly and spoke again.

“Then… tell me about that ‘scoundrel-like’ way. I think I need to prepare if that’s the case.”

“Well, there’s nothing special about it.”

What could be a scoundrel-like way?

“Just turning things upside down, that’s all.”

* * *

“Huff.”

Wiping the glass vigorously, Joo-shun let out a sigh.

“he started ambitiously, but no customers are coming.”

He started a pub ambitiously.

In the aristocratic district!

Of course, not every area in the aristocratic district is lively. But this place is the center of the aristocratic district and the largest city, Grave.

Naturally, there are many people moving around and a lot of money flowing.

It’s a gold mine!

To open a store in this city, imperial citizens are struggling.

And surprisingly, Joo-shun succeeded in opening a store.

Moreover, it seemed to be a lively area with quite a few floating population.

“Although until recently, I was begging in the alleys!”

But now it’s different.

It’s been a week already.

But the number of customers so far has not exceeded ten.

Why is that? Clearly, he decorated the store with an aesthetic that would attract people even without them realizing it…

Joo-shun sighed and looked at the signboard with the store’s name written on it.

[Supreme Unrivaled Tavern]

“What on earth is the problem… I thought the name of the store was perfect…”

Joo-shun shook his head in disbelief and looked around the interior of the store.

Pink.

The interior of the pub was filled with an excessively bright pink light.

“The colors are harmonious too.”

He nodded at the beautiful pink wallpaper.

Why isn’t it working?

He had an extraordinary aesthetic sense, but he couldn’t understand it.

Previously, he couldn’t brush off his aesthetics due to lack of money, but now, didn’t he clearly show ‘beauty’!

But why…!

“Why aren’t customers coming!”

It was the same in his hometown and here.

He did his best to show his own aesthetics, but no one understood.

“What is this, the arrogance of the head of the family’s top-ranking official!”

Joo-shun sighed softly as he remembered an old memory and sat down on a chair, leaning against it.

“Should I go back to the family… However, crossing the vast sea and returning to my homeland is not an easy task.

Moreover, considering the current situation in my homeland, returning is almost impossible.

“Phew…”

He carefully took out an item he had hidden deep in the store, feeling stifled. It was a traditional-looking wooden box.

And when he opened the box.

Bam!

A bright light burst out from the box.

Opposite to the mysterious horn emitting a subtle light, there were strange flesh pieces emitting a purple energy, intertwining with each other and emitting a mysterious light from the box.

“They are too precious for me to keep, but…”

Nevertheless, he had the duty to hide and protect this box from outsiders.

And if, by any chance, the “true owner” who could handle these things appeared…

“Oh, is this a horn of the yellow dragon?”

“…?!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice pierced his ears.

Startled, he quickly distanced himself.

What he saw in his eyes was…

“Duke… Your Excellency?”

The Duke, Kyle Grave.

A fifteen-year-old boy, with his arms folded, looked at him with a relaxed smile.

“Yes, it’s been a while, innkeeper.”

“See that?”

He hid the box in cold sweat.

But he didn’t understand.

“When did he come in?”

He hadn’t noticed at all.

It means he didn’t notice that a fifteen-year-old boy had entered his store and approached him.

“It can’t be…”

Is that boy a being that has reached a level beyond his imagination?

It can’t be.

He tried to deny the fact, continuing his thoughts.

If the Duke saw this “box” and showed greed for it, how should he respond?

“Darn it.”

He couldn’t find an answer.

But he couldn’t let these things in the box be taken by someone unqualified.

Thinking so, when Joo-shun tried to reach for the sword he had hidden in his bosom…

“Oh, come to think of it, calling you ‘innkeeper’ doesn’t sound right. I should call you by your name.”

With Kyle’s words, Joo-shun could only widen his eyes.

“Nam Gung Joo-shun.”

With a relaxed smile, the boy kept his name on his lips.

Joo-shun, or rather, Nam Gung Joo-shun, was shocked by being exposed by someone he had not expected.

“How did you…!”

—

Continents and continents.

Although the Empire and the Holy Kingdom have a huge influence on the entire continent, it is only a story that is commonly called “Arribre” in the western continent.

The origin of the Albrethium family name is also a name derived from the continent, so what more can I say.

Anyway, that’s right.

There are four continents in this world, and the eastern continent is a land that is comparable in scale to the western continent called the Arribre.

But unlike us, it was in the midst of fierce civil wars, divided into several countries.

And surprisingly.

“There is a Mr. Namgung in my world too.”

Although it feels fundamentally different from Namgung Muwon’s world, there is a Mr. Namgung in my world.

One of the Namgung’s is none other than Nam Gung Joo-shun in front of me.

I didn’t expect to see him like this.

“How did you know my name…!”

“Aren’t you the heir of the Namgung family famous for the Marial artis religion? You’re quite famous hare too.”

If Namgung Muwon heard this, wouldn’t he shout, ‘What nonsense is this!’ and yell ‘go.’?

– Is the main family Marial artis? What nonsense is this! The main family is the top of the martial arts world… Even though I roughly thought of it, my head is already noisy.

It’s grandiose, really.

Even from my perspective, it’s hard to understand that the Namgung family in this world is an information organization in the Marial artis religion…

“Anyway, in my world, Namgungga feels like this.”

Perhaps I’m too accustomed to the different Namgung, but the Namgung here feels unfamiliar.

Anyway.

“Nice to meet you, Nam Gung Joo-shun. But… why is the store sign like this again? Well, did someone threaten you and make you open the store?”

What’s the combination of pink in the Supreme Master?

Even the Supreme Master walking down the street will turn back, really.

“It’s my aesthetic.”

“…Ah, I see. It’s aesthetic.”

I didn’t know he had such tastes.

While I was being absent-minded, Nam Gung Joo-shun shouted.

“Di, did you approach me deliberately from the beginning?”

“Well, not really.”

I really didn’t know. Until I went to find Alanso.

“But somehow, it turned out to be intentional?”

“What do you mean…”

Although Nam Gung Joo-shun looked at me as if to ask what he meant, I don’t have time to waste.

“Let’s get to the point. I need the items in that box right now.”

“As I thought, you too…!”

Nam Gung Joo-shun glared at me, ready to fight if I touched the box, even if I were a Duke.

“In that respect, I’ll apologize first.”

“What have you been…!”

“Oh, it’s noisy.”

I pointed quietly upwards, interrupting Nam Gung Joo-shun’s words.

And then.

Ziiiiing!

“…Huh?”

With Nam Gung Joo-shun’s muttering, the light column fell as it was.

“Aaargh!”

With a scream, Nam Gung Joo-shun was burned to a crisp.

Of course, he wouldn’t die.

In the first place, I didn’t do this with the intention of harming him.

“…Keung.”

Soon, Nam Gung Joo-shun, who was burned to a crisp, fell to the ground with a short scream.

I looked at him, who was burned to a crisp, and said.

“Good job, Alanso.”

“Is it… over?”

When everything was over, Alanso opened the door and came in.

He’s a magician of the seventh rank.

Alanso, with an expression that is hard to describe, looked at Nam Gung Joo-shun and said.

“I owe a great debt to you, but is it not the case that repaying a favor with enmity is not appropriate?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

I said quietly, holding up my thumb to him.

“I’ve already repaid the favor.”

Alanso looked at me with an expression that was hard to describe, but soon he made a resigned expression.

“Yes…”

He started to follow me, walking hesitantly.
