“If you wish, I can guide you to the entrance of the Magic Tower.”

“No need for that, I know it so just go away.”

“Yes, Your Majesty! If you ever need my humble skills, please call me anytime.”

After the wandering wizard left, Minhyuk called some people, including Professor Raymon, to discuss the Magic Tower.

“It is said that those who enter the Magic Tower never return. They either die from the traps of the Magic Tower or become absorbed in the knowledge of the Magic Tower and lose interest in the secular world and end up living in the Magic Tower. But it’s all just legend.”

Professor Raymon’s words had substance.

Minhyuk was thinking along similar lines.

Regardless of whether the information about the Magic Tower was true or not, the Western sage was very suspicious.

There was nothing exaggerated or excessive in his words or actions.

But there was a strange feeling.

As if he was trying to lure him into the Magic Tower.

‘Is it a trap?’

But now that he knew about the existence of the Magic Tower, could he really not go?

He also coveted the golden scroll ‘Noscow’, which would allow him to learn magic just by unfolding it.

He wanted to subdue Sylphir right away and explore the Magic Tower said to be in the snowfields to the north.

But there is an order to everything.

There was something he had to do before the next conquest.

Minhyuk called General Drake and General Tarman.

And he discussed the reorganization of the army with them.

***

A notice was posted on every barracks in Asdel and Melbeck.

＜Those who wish to be discharged should submit an application.＞

One of the soldiers who saw the notice tilted his head and said,

“Why are we reducing our forces when we’re about to conquer Sylphir? Shouldn’t we be expanding instead?”

A superior officer passing by overheard his words and asked,

“Are you from Asdel Keep?”

The soldier stood at attention and replied,

“Yes, sir!”

“Then you might think that way. But the soldiers from Melbeck would think differently from you.”

Unlike the soldiers from Asdel Keep who were volunteers, most of the soldiers from Melbeck Keep were forcibly conscripted.

The late King of Melbeck who was killed by his son,

With the aim of hunting Kudalkang, he made all the healthy young men of Melbeck Keep into soldiers.

There were those who intentionally mutilated themselves to become disabled in order to avoid being drafted into the army.

It was not just the ordinary soldiers.

In order to fill the shortage of officers, he captured the sons of nobles and forced them to become officers.

That was how an army of 200,000 was born.

Minhyuk decided to reorganize the army before the Silphir subjugation.

Quality over quantity.

Furthermore, Melbeck Keep was severely short of people to work in their industries because of the forced conscription.

The current unbalanced structure definitely needed to be improved.

So he decided to send home all those who wished to be discharged.

After reading the announcement, a Melbeck soldier asked his comrade,

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to stay.”

“You used to say that you wanted to inherit your father’s shop and become a merchant.”

“Things have changed since then. I had no intention of fighting for that unfilial son, but I can fight until my bones break for His Majesty the current emperor!”

“Isn’t it because you want to climb the ranks?”

“hahahaha! That’s one way to put it! But what about you?”

“I’m going to be discharged. Climbing the ranks is good, but for me, the time I spend with my family is more precious.”

***

General Drake and General Tarman reported the status of the army reorganization to Minhyuk.

“About 70,000 wish to be discharged.”

A third of the Melbeck soldiers wished to be discharged.

Among the Asdel soldiers, there were very few who wished to be discharged.

“Send them all home.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“And about 10,000 wish to enlist.”

The recruitment of new soldiers was also underway at the same time.

“Accept all those who pass the physical examination.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

After the generals left, Minhyuk moved to the Asdel Keep’s forge.

Dozens of blacksmiths were working in the intense heat.

Balin, who was supervising them, ran to Minhyuk.

He had been appointed by Minhyuk to the position of ‘Chief of Weapon and Armor Production’.

“Your Majesty, you have arrived.”

“Is it complete?”

“Yes! I was just about to contact you.”

Barlin ran into the forge and brought out something large on a cart.

It was a Gatling gun with six rotating barrels.

“It can fire dozens of rounds in the blink of an eye!”

Minhyuk had found the blueprints for a modern Gatling gun capable of firing thousands of rounds per minute while web surfing.

After examining the drawings in detail, he realized that the firing mechanism of a rotary machine gun was simple, although it was difficult to manufacture.

He explained the principle to Barlin.

And finally, the result was here.

“As you instructed, I have also completed the tripod to support the firearm and the magazine holder.”

Minhyuk lifted the machine gun with both hands.

It was quite heavy.

The recoil would probably be enormous when firing.

Ordinary soldiers would never be able to hold and fire a Gatling gun alone.

That’s why he had them make a tripod.

“It’s a shame that we can only use Star Metal bullets for now.”

In order to use bullets made from Dragon Bone, the barrel had to be made of Roks alloy.

They didn’t have the materials, so they couldn’t make it yet.

However, bullets made of Star Metal were also very powerful.

They wouldn’t be able to kill a dragon, but they would be more than enough to hunt other beasts.

＜Remaining Return Time: 20 days, 15 hours, 30 minutes, 34 seconds＞

Minhyuk’s ultimate goal was to accumulate a lot of Return Time.

To do that, he needed to secure enough hunting grounds.

That’s why he wanted to get his hands on all the strongholds on the continent of Lania.

In addition, he needed to provide his soldiers with good equipment to increase their hunting efficiency.

“Have you tested it yet?”

“Yes, it works very well! Would you like to try firing it yourself?”

Minhyuk took the machine gun and went outside the stronghold.

Barlin had prepared a target made of a thick log.

Minhyuk aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.

Tatatat-

The linked ammunition was sucked into the chamber and the bullets were fired in rapid succession at an incredible speed.

In an instant, the log target was shredded to pieces.

It was an overwhelming firepower that could not be compared to a bow.

“Good!”

Minhyuk immediately put the machine gun and ammo box in the refrigerator.

“Return.”

Pop-

With a flash of light, he was transported to the back of the truck.

He opened the refrigerator, and the Gatling gun had turned into a luxury silver lighter.

It was expensive, but there was no reason he couldn’t buy it in bulk.

And the magazine with 500 rounds of ammo had transformed into instant ramen.

It was spicy and famous instant ramen.

‘Good!’

He was hesitant to buy a luxury lighter online.

If his luck was bad, it could be a fake.

And it would be better to buy the instant ramen in bulk directly from the store, rather than having it delivered, since it was so bulky.

‘Should I go offline shopping for once?’

Minhyuk got out of the truck bed and into the driver’s seat.

Swish—

He opened the parking lot shutter with the remote.

Boom—

He started the truck to leave the parking lot, but suddenly a dog jumped out from somewhere.

Screech—

Minhyuk slammed on the brakes.

Fortunately, the dog was unharmed.

The dog was startled and its eyes were wide open.

Minhyuk opened the driver’s window and shouted at the dog.

“Hey! Watch out!”

Woof, woof—

The dog barked at Minhyuk with a fierce expression.

After a while, the dog’s owner came running.

She was a woman in a tracksuit.

But Minhyuk knew her face.

“Oh? Gu Eunyung?”

She was Minhyuk’s university schoolmate.

She ran a sesame oil factory.

Judging from her attire, it seemed she lived in this neighborhood.

She was very surprised to see Minhyuk and exclaimed,

“Choi Minhyuk!”

“I see you again. Do you live here too?”

“You too?”

“Yeah.”

She looked at the house visible behind Minhyuk’s truck.

“Is that your house?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you live with your parents?”

She didn’t know that both of Minhyuk’s parents had passed away.

“No, I live alone.”

“Really? Do you rent? Or do you own?”

“I own.”

“Did your parents buy it for you?”

“I bought it with my own money.”

They exchanged materialistic words.

And Gu Eun-young was very surprised.

She knew the price of houses in this neighborhood better than anyone else.

She lived in this neighborhood thanks to her rich father, but Min-hyuk bought his house with his own money.

“Did you buy it with the money you made from the truck business?”

“Yeah.”

“Really?”

“Don’t underestimate the truck business. My truck is a mid-sized moving company.”

“Wow! You’re amazing!”

Wang-wang-

The dog was still barking at Min-hyuk.

“Get rid of the dog. I’m busy right now.”

“Oh, sorry!”

Gu Eun-young picked up the dog.

“Then I’ll see you later.”

“Oh, okay. Drive safely.”

Boong-

Min-hyuk drove his truck onto the main road.

.

.

.

He finished supplying machine guns and ammunition to the soldiers.

And he ordered them to simultaneously subjugate several beast habitats around Asdel and Melbeck.

＜Your subordinate soldier succeeded in hunting. 10 seconds of return time has been accumulated as a reward.＞

＜Your subordinate soldier succeeded in hunting. 3 minutes of return time has been accumulated as a reward.＞

＜Your subordinate soldier succeeded in hunting. 1 minute of return time has been accumulated as a reward.＞

Messages notifying him of accumulated return time popped up before Min-hyuk’s eyes.

But this much was still far from enough.

In order to freely travel between the two worlds without worrying about return time, he had to get his hands on all 12 citadels and sufficiently expand his hunting grounds.

Flutter-flutter-

Min-hyuk rode Chunsam to the lakeside of Melbeck.

Before the Silfir subjugation, he had finished some important tasks, and since the soldiers were diligently accumulating return time for him, he was going to leisurely gather seashells.

Cwaaak-

From Noble mtl dot com

He searched for seashells while walking along the lakeside where the sound of waves could be heard.

It was great because he could enjoy the scenery, clear his head, and earn money by selling the ginseng.

However, he couldn’t find a single large seashell.

There were only small clams with 2 or 30 stripes.

Ginseng roots that are 230 years old are only worth a few million won.

‘Only a few million won?’

In the past, I’d tremble in fear even at 10,000 won.

However, people must change as situations change.

I shouldn’t get excited over small amounts of money anymore.

And it would be much less of a hassle to sell a few roots worth hundreds of millions of won than to sell hundreds of roots worth several million won.

‘So, I need to find large clam shells.’

Minhyuk looked around with fiery eyes.

He saw something flat buried in the sand, so he dug it up, but it wasn’t a rose seashell, but a different clam.

‘Was I just lucky last time?’

When I first came here, I found a 300-year-old shell in less than 10 seconds.

But now that I’m seriously trying to gather them, I can’t find a single large one.

But I soon realized why.

Wow!

Children were playing at the lakeside.

The lake had become a playground, as the guardian’s territory had expanded.

They were holding large clam shells in their hands.

There weren’t just children at the lakeside.

Several fishermen were sitting on the sandy floor, mending their nets.

Minhyuk approached them.

“Your Majesty?!”

The fishermen were startled, stopped what they were doing, and prostrated themselves on the floor.

“Get up and continue what you were doing.”

But none of them could get up.

They couldn’t even lift their heads.

Puu-

A fisherman who had been in the water came out.

He was holding a speargun in his hand.

He had been diving to catch fish.

He shouted at the others.

“There’s something really strange in the water! Ack!”

Then, recognizing Minhyuk, he sprawled flat on the sandy floor.

“Your Majesty!”

Minhyuk approached him and asked.

“What’s in the water?”

“Th, that··· There’s a huge rock.”

“There could be rocks in the water.”

“But its shape is really strange.”

“What does it look like?”

“It’s hard to explain in words…”

Swish-swish-

The diver began to draw in the sand.

It was an elongated hexahedron.

‘Could it be?’

Thud-thud-thud-

Minhyuk rushed into the lake.

And took a deep breath and dived in.

The water was quite deep, but it was so clear that he could see all the way to the bottom.

He noticed a gigantic rock at the bottom of the lake.

‘Bingo!’

It was a container-shaped stone statue.

It seemed he had found a new refrigerator.
