Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 307
Episode 307. Murim Meng (2)
After a storm passed, the inside became noisy again.
So-hyeon and Danmok-il immediately raised their voices.
“Does everyone believe that?”
“To predict the enemy’s coming path. How can he see through their movements?”
“They show up out of nowhere and reveal these secrets. Rather, I have to question whether or not he is a spy.”
“Cheolkeolgeol! Couldn’t the Lord’s words be right?”
Everyone frowned except Hyemyeong and Geojunggil, who burst out laughing.
In particular, So-hyeon and Danmok-il were openly showing hostility.
Right then.
Chun Yoo-seong slowly opened his mouth.
“I can’t ask for help, but I’m sick of a suspicious disease and I’m busy biting. It seems that the process of one power tilting is the same everywhere.”
“What? Are you saying that our power is not enough?”
Danmokil’s eyebrows curled into a reverse shape.
It was hard to listen to the words of mangjo.
“No, you guys are strong. All of them are excellent enough to change the tide of battle.”
A force with mighty arms and numerous unmanned soldiers.
Who would dare to evaluate Moorim as weak?
but.
That’s all.
War, not battle.
In order to win in a wider country…
a bigger variable is needed.
“He has the power to change the game of war.”
Only one person and no one else.
“I wouldn’t take this offer lightly.”
Chun Yoo-seong clicked his tongue briefly, as if he didn’t like it even after he said it.
okay.
Jin-hyeok was always something I didn’t like.
A nasty, smirking old man who always acts as he pleases.
It’s nothing more than an enemy who wants to show a bitter taste someday.
Even so.
If there’s one thing I have to admit…
it’s that he’s been to the top of the tower more than anyone else, including everyone here.
I’ve never asked him directly, but if it’s him, maybe…
‘Maybe he’s seen it beyond the 30th floor of the tower.’
An unknown place presumed only to be where deities live.
At first, I thought it was absurd and nonsense.
But why?
The more you get to know that damn bastard, the better. It occurred to me that the assumption was not completely nonsense.
“That’s an overestimation for one person. Chun Yoo-seong. I didn’t know that a knife-like person like you would say such a thing.”
Hae Hyo-hwa smiled strangely.
“I’m just telling the truth.”
“Hmm. Is that so? Come to think of it, the two of you seem to be quite close… What does the puncher have to do with him?”
It’s
a relationship…
Chun Yoo-seong said calmly, then stood up.
“Whoops. It’s possible if you’re a puncher. Then, excuse me too. I’ll wait for a good answer.”
“There’s nothing to lose by listening to Mr. Jinhyeok… No, I don’t think it’s hard to say for sure.”
It was followed by Sayeong Chu and Teresa.
***
The three people who came out joined Jinhyeok and Alice who were waiting for them.
“Why did you come to Luoyang so late? Thanks to you, I waited for a long time while dealing with those damn bastards.”
Chun Yuseong exhaled coldly.
It seems that it was quite uncomfortable to grumble with sincerity.
“Sorry. I had something I wanted to try a little bit.
“If you came with me, you would have come comfortably. Gongja Kang seems to be the kind of person who really enjoys various challenges. Our disciple should also learn a little bit. Isn’t it Gongja Cheon?”
Chu Hon Sa-young grabbed Chun Yu-seong’s cheeks and pulled him.
“S, Master! Please keep your body tight!”
“Oh my gosh. You’re picky. At first, while begging me to learn the sword… They said that the only way to become strong is to have a master. It’s changed. Coldly.”
“What the hell does this have to do with that!”
“Are you even raising your voice now? Master is so sad…”
While Cheon Yoo-seong was in trouble with Chu Hon-sa-yeong, Teresa, who was next to her, cautiously opened her mouth.
“Jinhyuk. Will the other party really accept Jinhyeok’s proposal?”
“Perhaps.”
The representatives over there probably wouldn’t know, but if you show the map to the Moorim Maeng’s intelligence department, they’ll realize it right away.
How deadly the strongholds that the Chunma Shinkyo are aiming for can be.
Also, if it connects with the bases that have been lost so far, whether it will shake the entire board.
“All that’s left is to relax and wait.”
The one who is impatient is Murim.
So you just have to spend some time around here before approaching.
“Ummm. Then what should we be doing in the meantime?”
“rice.”
Elise cut in with a single knife.
It was just one word, but it was a voice with a force that could never be disobeyed.
A body exhausted from passing through the aisle all night.
Since the empty stomach was added to that, Ellis had endured enough.
“It’s a little too early to eat…”
“Or your blood is fine. It seems like you’re lacking in magic these days, so let’s replenish it properly.”
The corners of Elise’s mouth went up subtly.
This is dangerous.
“Ah. That’s right. Come to think of it, there was a place with really good food in front of here. This is a fish shop, and this is a clothing store. Oh, is this here?”
Jinhyeok hurriedly kicked into a restaurant.
boom boom!
Even at this early hour, the inside was filled with quite a lot of people.
I found a place that seemed plausible in a hurry, but it seems that I chose a pretty good place.
“Welcome. What can I give you?”
A jeomsoi who found the party quickly approached.
“Give me everything written here. I’ll pay the charter, so get rid of all the noisy and uncivilized humans.”
Ellis arrogantly sat down in her chair and gave the order.
“Yes… Yes? I… sir, what do you mean…?”
“I’m sorry. I’m a bit short of children.”
“How dare you, it’s not enough for Jim… yup!”
Jinhyeok stopped Alice from taking out the gold chest with a hair’s breadth.
“Give me what you do best here according to the number of people.”
Jinhyeok managed to send Jeomsoi back.
and after a while
A table full of appetizing food came up.
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That sounds delicious. This is mine… not mine. Hmmm! I think it’ll suit Jim’s taste as well.”
“I’ll eat well. Jinhyeok-san, please eat soon.”
“Hmm. Local Chinese food isn’t bad either.”
“Whoops. Have a lot.”
Chopsticks moved quickly.
Elise took a mouthful of meat, and Teresa also ate a piece of five-spice meat and exclaimed in exclamation.
hmm. It definitely doesn’t taste bad.
However, it lacked something to be called the essence of Chinese cuisine.
‘I would have thought of a combination that could bring out the unique flavor of the ingredients here…’
It was when Jinhyeok was thinking about a few things to enhance the taste of the food.
“Sheesh! It’s noisy.”
“Be patient. Ambassador. What do they know about etiquette and the law?”
“Food is what you eat to move your body. To walk the path of nothingness, you have to stay away from food… but those guys eat so filthyly.”
A sharp voice came from the side.
Not an ordinary guest.
Unlike most of the customers who did hard work, all of them had immaculate faces.
‘Are they belonging to a political faction?’
The attire was also completely different.
A neat white robe and a long sword at the waist are symbols of practitioners who train their minds and bodies.
Yes.
These are the masters of the shaman faction who came with So Hyun.
The number is three males and one female.
Among them, the man who looked very handsome was different.
“Sasook said that people from outside the tower would also participate in the meeting, but I guess that’s them.”
“Some say that Chuhon Sa-young took it as a disciple. Did you say Cheon Yoo-seong? What… It doesn’t look bad at all.”
“It’s like the weaklings know what to help us with… isn’t it, Ambassador?”
“It must mean that the Heavenly Demons are coming in forcefully.”
The man called the ambassador type sipped his teacup.
“What, those guys?”
Ellis, who was holding a mouthful of meat, raised her eyes.
“It looks like they’re arguing… How. Are you going to fight?”
Chun Yoo-seong also looked at the other person with lifeless eyes.
Like the two warlike guys, they are ready to rush at you.
but.
Unexpectedly, Jinhyeok had a peaceful smile on his face.
“Hold on. It’s a precious comrade I’ll have to fight with soon, but I can’t do sword fighting here, can I?”
The power of the Chunma Shinkyo, including Samaja, is strong.
We shouldn’t waste the strength of the Moorim League to deal with them.
“Did you eat something wrong? Why are you suddenly saying that out of place?”
“It’s absurd. If you fight, the guy who will destroy the three tribes and then have a party on top of it. You’re putting up with this?”
“Wow. Mr. Jinhyeok. You’ve finally… become a human.”
A variety of reactions came from all over the place.
‘I don’t know how my image usually gets such a reaction.’
I thought I lived a pretty good life.
Of course, I will punish them in their own way for making fun of them.
“Hold on a minute, everyone.”
Jinhyeok got up from his seat holding a plate of pork.
***
The place I found was the kitchen.
“Cow, guest?”
Not only Jeom So-yi, but also the masters in charge of cooking this time were surprised.
A customer who needs to eat food suddenly invades the place where the food is being prepared, so of course it has to be that way.
Of course, when I handed over an earring with a small jewel, everyone’s mouths fell shut.
“Huh? Where did one of my earrings go? I was definitely wearing it a while ago. Where did you lose it?”
Alice, who was outside, seemed to be muttering something, but Jinhyeok pretended not to hear it.
“Are you doing the previous cooking yourself? Who is that person?”
“To think that you’re going to cook a thousand things…
They do things differently.”
The whispers of nonpartisans echoed from the corner of the restaurant.
‘That’s right, I don’t even eat meat, right?’
But it’s not because I hate meat.
It’s just that the instinct to be carnivorous is imprisoned in a deep, deep prison.
Pressing by force was not a bad method for education, but…
If you break the shaman’s taboo, the pleasure will be doubled.
Weaknesses can also be properly captured.
My mouth twitched at the thought of playing these guys like chess pieces sooner or later.
‘I’ll make you a poppy next door who starved for about a month.’
[Lv8 ‘Different World Restaurant’ is activated!]
Gentle energy permeated Jinhyeok’s fingertips.
this sense.
this feeling.
‘good.’
Roaring!
The fire raged fiercely.
Jinhyeok touched the food ingredients with a very natural hand movement.
Neither too much nor too little.
The splendid yet moderate movements were like those of a craftsman who has been cooking for decades.
“Ah oh?”
“What, what is this guest?”
The masters who were trying to stop them also lost their minds and immersed themselves in Jinhyeok’s cooking.
How many minutes had passed?
Strange things began to happen in the store.
Gulp…
“No, what is this…”
“How does it smell like this?”
“No, what on earth are you making inside that smells like this?”
“What did you give us dog food?
Even though they were clearly eating, saliva flowed from everyone’s mouths.
“I-I can’t do this.”
The general manager of the accommodations was also distracted by the appetizing incense.
40 years of culinary experience.
I have been working hard every single day to survive in this place overflowing with competitive runners and guesthouses.
but.
“…I didn’t learn anything about cooking.”
skill with fire.
A subtle harmony between seasonings.
Even the ability to bring out the taste of the essence of food.
This is an area that even the imperial courtiers cannot cross.
Compared to the dishes being made now, the food he served is mere food waste.
And the shaman’s masters were also embarrassed by this situation.
“Four, the death penalty.”
“Is food… what it is?”
“S-wouldn’t it be a witchcraft?”
“…”
Meat eating is one of the shaman’s taboos.
But if I didn’t eat that, I felt like I would lose the meaning of living.
Right then.
Jinhyeok came out of the kitchen and sneaked up to me.
Holding a steaming cooking plate.
