The Return of the Legendary All-Master

———

Chapter 37

Idenharc Square.

Road Knight Park Jin-Hyeok shook his head.

“Hwa-Rang, I don’t think we can find it.”

He spoke to more than 90% of the users residing in Idenharc, but the income was zero.

In other words, it is highly likely that the user who acquired the Red Dragon Bone Bow has already left Idenharc.

“Damn it!”

Lee Hwa-Rang slammed his fist on the table.

Then the table could not withstand it and was shattered. Then the plates and food set on it fell and shattered.

Everyone in the restaurant focused on this side.

“Hey! What a waste…”

Park Jin-Hyeok glanced at the food that had fallen on the floor with a regretful face.

What he ordered was the most expensive food in this restaurant, a luxury course meal.

If you eat the entire course meal, you can get a random buff. The effect of the buff is quite good, so he often uses the restaurant.

“Is there something wrong with the food?!”

One of the NPCs serving food hurriedly approached and asked nervously.

Park Jin-Hyeok shook his head with a good-natured smile.

“No. My friend is overwhelmed with anger over something else, so don’t worry about it.”

And he paid for the food and table.

He also paid for the tables where the users were sitting as an apology for making the surroundings noisy.

“As expected of Road Knight Park Jin-Hyeok…”

“He’s a really nice person.”

“But why is Lee Hwa-Rang doing that?”

“Right. I heard he doesn’t have that kind of personality.”

Before the users could say anything more, Park Jin-Hyeok left the restaurant with Lee Hwa-Rang.

Only then did Park Jin-Hyeok tap Lee Hwa-Rang on the shoulder.

“Hey, no matter what, you broke the table there?”

“Isn’t it strange for a guy not to get angry in that situation?”

He worked tirelessly to collect the Red Dragon Set.

Such efforts were in vain in an instant.

It is a situation where it is not easy for ordinary people to control their emotions.

In the case of Lee Hwa-Rang, he was engulfed in anger, not sadness or frustration.

“A guy who doesn’t usually get angry?”

It was the first time in a long time that he had seen Lee Hwa-Rang so angry.

It doesn’t seem like this is just because he missed the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

There must be something more.

He just doesn’t know because he keeps his mouth shut.

It would be more accurate to see the accumulated stuff explode.

“…Go back first.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I’ll stay and look for a little more.”

One weapon left before the set.

Lee Hwa-Rang couldn’t give up that weapon.

“Tsk, then I’ll have to stay a little longer too.”

“You can go back. Isn’t the guild talking about it?”

“That’s true, but… how do I know what kind of accident you’re going to cause?”

A little while ago, if Park Jin-Hyeok hadn’t reacted quickly, it would have been a mess.

Ah, it must already be a mess.

World Com will be plastered with Lee Hwa-Rang.

Still, the difference between doing damage control and not doing it was the difference between heaven and earth.

“Then just two days. Let’s just wait two more days.”

Lee Hwa-Rang was desperate.

Please show up so he could buy it no matter how much it costs.

‘Then I’ll go first.’

After Ha-Jin left, Jeong-Hoon went to find an alchemist residing in Idenharc.

The place where the alchemist stayed was an old mansion.

It was much older than the mansion built in Idenharc, and the walls were cracked as if they were old.

It looked so precarious as if it would collapse if it was shocked here.

If the alchemist in Starting Village was crazy about poison, this alchemist could be said to be crazy about decomposition.

[Don’t go to the Starting zone alchemist lol]

-Especially Idenharc. I went there without knowing anything and my weapon was disassembled.

└Lol The weapon should go to the blacksmith.

└The level of going to an alchemist tsk tsk

└What does an alchemist know about weapons?

└That’s why you go to Idenharc and get your weapons disassembled lol

└Agreed, you chose Idenharc instead of all the good places.

An alchemist who disassembles weapons and extracts the materials inside.

But do they know?

Countless users will fill this mansion in the future to get materials.

Naturally, Jeong-Hoon was the only user visiting this mansion at the moment.

Jeong-Hoon knocked on the mansion door.

Creak.

The closed door opened automatically at the same time as the knock.

Unlike the exterior, the interior was quite neat.

Most NPCs who study alchemy make a mess of their rooms.

Only alchemy.

It’s because nothing else catches their eye.

In some alchemists’ rooms, they hadn’t cleaned for years, and the smell of rot was vibrating.

Even Jeong-Hoon, who is not inferior to anyone in terms of guts, felt nauseous.

On the other hand, this alchemist was different.

There was no musty smell, not even a stale smell, even though it was an old mansion.

‘He was also crazy about cleaning.’

All day cleaning except for alchemy.

That’s why the old mansion is kept so clean.

“Who are you?”

A man who looked to be in his late 20s walked out.

===

[NPC Information]

-Nickname: Heyrn

-Level: 52

-Job: Alchemist (Decomposition)

===

As befits a cleaning maniac, his face was neat.

His clothes were also not stained at all, as if he washed them frequently.

“I came here to disassemble a weapon.”

“Weapon?”

Heyrn tilted his head.

“Yes. This is it.”

Jeong-Hoon took out the Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword from his inventory.

“Hmm?”

Heyrn’s eyes, scanning the sword, took on a different color.

He recognized at a glance that it was an unusual weapon.

“Let’s go inside and talk.”

Heyrn led him to the room where he was doing research.

It was a very neatly organized room.

Jeong-Hoon placed the sword on the table.

“You can do it, right?”

“Hmm… I’m sorry, but this weapon is not easily disassembled.”

Jeong-Hoon nodded at Heyrn’s words as he glanced at the sword with a troubled face.

“You’re not saying it’s impossible, are you?”

“Yes. To be honest, this sword is no ordinary sword.”

“I know.”

“…You mean you know it’s an Ego Sword?”

“Yes.”

Ego Sword.

It is called Ego because the self is enshrined in the weapon.

The reason the ego could be attached was because the soul stone was combined with the weapon.

What Jeong-Hoon is trying to extract as a material is this fragment of soul stone.

He wants to get a whole soul stone, but to get that soul stone, he has to be at least level 300 or higher to get a chance.

It was a long way for Jeong-Hoon now.

‘I can use other methods.’

So he’s going to get the soul stone in a different way.

“Then the story will be easy. This sword cannot be disassembled normally. You have to do advanced disassembly.”

“What do you need?”

“Would you get it for me?!”

Just then, a question mark appeared above Heyrn’s head.

[Hidden Quest: Alchemist Heyrn]

-Restriction: User with Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword.

-Reward: Advanced Disassembly

-Description: Help alchemist Heyrn with his advanced disassembly work.

Jeong-Hoon immediately accepted the quest.

“Yes.”

“Then I will tell you the list of ingredients to get!”

[List of materials]

-1,000 Will Tiger Fangs

-1,000 Black Tiger Fangs

-1,000 Murkun Fangs

-1,000 White Murkun Fangs

They are ridiculous ingredients.

What’s more, it was impossible to collect them separately because they were materials that were dropped only after receiving the quest.

“If you combine the fangs of these guys, it will prevent them from going berserk during the decomposition process! I think you’ll need about 1,000 of each to decompose a weapon like this.”

“You’re not trying to pocket half of it, are you?”

“Yes?! What are you talking about!”

This was Jeong-Hoon’s second time on this quest.

So he knew exactly how much material was needed.

He seemed to have prevented the runaway when he put in about 453, but…

That means he will swallow half.

‘He knew from the beginning that it would be eaten in about 500 pieces.’

As evidence of this, Heyrn flinched at the words that hit the nail on the head.

It meant that the calculation had already been completed.

“500.”

Jeong-Hoon held up 5 fingers.

“Ehei! I said 1,000. What’s 500?”

“Then would you like to bet? 500 seems to be enough.”

Heyrn finally raised the white flag at his tenacity.

“You’re too much… Don’t I have to make a living too?”

“You really don’t know how to do business.”

“Yes?”

“If this works out well, I’ll spread the word.”

“Hmm? What’s in it for me?”

Heyrn tilted his head.

He was stuck in the mansion and only researched alchemy, but Heyrn had no talent for business.

“Listen carefully. By the way, this sword is not one. There are several.”

“…-Yes.”

“Yes. Then what happens if I spread the word? Wouldn’t users with swords come to you?”

“Ah!”

Heyrn clapped his hands as if he understood.

[The list of ingredients is modified.]

-Will Tiger’s Fang 1,000 -> 500

-Black Tiger’s Fang 1,000 -> 500

-Murkun’s Fang 1,000 -> 500

-White Murkun’s Fang 1,000 -> 500

Done.

The ingredients have been halved.

Jeong-Hoon smiled as the workload decreased.

“It’s a very wise choice.”

“But you have to spread the word for sure?”

“Yes.”

He couldn’t help but spread the word even if he didn’t want to.

This is because new information is automatically updated on the New World homepage when a soul stone fragment is extracted from a one-handed sword.

If you just drop it on World Com in that situation, Heyrn will become an NPC who is not enough to work overtime all night.

* * *

He slept well after a long time.

Jeong-Hoon, who logged out last night due to a schedule and went straight to bed, was looking at World Com while preparing to go out.

[Lee Hwa-Rang is going crazy lol]

-He broke the table at the restaurant lol He seems to be looking for the person who got the bow, but he can’t find it.

└I was at the restaurant, and this is true.

└He must have been really surprised lol What did the table do wrong ㅡㅡ

└Exactly lol I heard that Lee Hwa-Rang is talking to every user in Idenharc.

└This is real lol I’m level 56, and Lee Hwa-Rang came to me and talked to me.

└Really? I should go to Idenharc too!

└There’s still a sucker who hasn’t gone to Idenharc lol You’re not going to eat the evolution stone?

└The evolution stone quest is really extreme ㅡㅡ You should tell me where the pendant is!

World Com was being plastered with content about Lee Hwa-Rang.

‘Oh, he broke the table?’

Apparently his patience has reached its limit due to missing the Underworld King’s Fist Technique and this Red Dragon Bone Bow.

He chuckled as he imagined Lee Hwa-Rang engulfed in anger.

He is not the type to easily give up in a situation where he can complete the set with just one item.

He must still be in Idenharc, diligently searching for the whereabouts of the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

‘Then shall I make it a little more difficult?’

Currently, more than half of the users who visited Idenharc are clicking their tongues at the difficulty and giving up.

There are no proper tip posts yet.

Jeong-Hoon posted a post on World Com to fuel the fire.

It was a tip post with how to get evolution stones.

[You still haven’t cleared the Idenharc Evolution Stone quest? Lol]

-I’ll tell you, so try it quickly lol

It was a tip post that filled the introduction with provocative remarks, and then explained the contents related to the quest in great detail.

As expected, the number of views started to rise like crazy.

└Huh? Is this real?

└Crazy, was this the way to go?

└What else would it be? It’s bullshit to tell me to dig the ground.

└I’ll try it.

└I’ll try it first and then curse or praise it.

Only after confirming that the replies were coming up did Jeong-Hoon turn off World Com.

“What are you laughing about?”

His mother, who had finished preparing to go out in the room, tilted her head at Jeong-Hoon’s expression.

“Oh, there’s just something funny. By the way, are you all ready?”

“Yes. Let’s go quickly.”

“Yes.”
