The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 470
Chapter 470 A New Beginning (3)
That Time.
Incheon government.
At the time when people were going about their daily routine, there was a fierce voice coming and going from the Incheon government.
“… Still, the president is unmoved. The safety of the shelter is the top priority, and it is impossible to send troops to each government.”
“Damn you bastard.”
A man in a black suit.
Incheon Mayor Kim Jun-hyeok showed a nervous reaction.
“Yes, the same pattern every time. Distributing forces is dangerous. I am not unaware of the difficulties in other regions except Seoul, but if Seoul collapses, there will be no future for Korea. Dogs. It’s obvious that they have an intention to take care of their own safety unconditionally, yet they shamelessly mention the future of the Republic of Korea. To them, people in other regions other than Seoul do not seem to be the same people.”
after the catastrophe.
Korea is facing a change.
The president formed a central government centered on Seoul, and gave each region outside Seoul its own chain of command.
It was a measure to immediately deal with the chaotic situation. At first glance, it seems like a wise decision considering people’s safety, but people who know the truth didn’t think so.
transfer of responsibility.
It meant surviving.
When necessary, they must gather their strength under the name of the central government, but when a catastrophe struck, they were forced to survive on their own until the safety of the shelter was secured.
For that reason, it was called the Incheon Government. The mayor of this place, Kim Joon-hyeok, held the whole of Incheon in his hands, but no one thought of it as power.
A place to take responsibility.
Thinking of the future ahead, Kim Jun-hyeok could hardly calm down his emotions.
“Several years have passed since the fifth cataclysm. As the cycle lengthened, the apocalypse always exceeded our expectations. It won’t be different this time either. People living in Incheon will not be able to avoid death if they prepare at a level that is not much different from a few years ago.”
“Recently, there is even a premonition phenomenon. The sixth apocalypse will strike in the not too distant future.”
“… No one is unaware of that fact. Not only we but the whole world knows that the 6th cataclysm is about to strike. But don’t we have a choice? The central government of the Republic of Korea is attracting talented people centered on Seoul, and each local government such as Incheon has long been out of their sight. Only after many people die, the president will belatedly try to take care of the people’s livelihood.”
My head hurt.
storms to come.
I didn’t have the confidence to stop it.
When a catastrophe swept through Incheon several years ago, Kim Jun-hyeok witnessed countless deaths of people who followed him.
He turned his head and looked out the window. A city full of buildings seems to have regained its daily life, but it was only an illusion.
“Every time a disaster strikes, the city is devastated. The white-clad wizard restored it as if nothing had happened with restoration magic, but the scenery we are looking at now is actually just a cemetery made up of countless corpses piled up one after another. So it can’t be like this. You must find a way. We cannot face the sixth catastrophe in the same way as the fifth catastrophe.”
market place.
What he wants is not great power.
I wanted to create a space for people to live in this chaotic world.
It was then.
smart.
“May I come in?”
“come in.”
was a secretary
Unlike the attendant who was reporting just now, the secretary had a blunt impression.
“I have a report on an unknown person who entered the city today. According to the person who vouched for his identity, he is an independent peak hunter.”
Ultimate Hunter.
His expression changed.
Kim Jun-hyeok looked at the secretary and said.
“An independent peak hunter? Call your guarantor right now. I will verify that fact myself.”
* * *
Private meeting with the mayor.
It was a rare opportunity.
Facing the mayor of Incheon for the first time, Kang Min-ho briefly introduced himself and told about the situation he had experienced.
“Meeting him was accidental. I was walking around the E-class hunting grounds… … .”
from start to finish.
I didn’t bother hiding the facts.
Roman Dmitri allowed it, so in order to increase his value, he had to highlight the facts.
“Actually, I am still confused. I was sure it was an ordinary person because it wasn’t confirmed by the mana meter, but I slaughtered five soldier ants in an instant with just a branch. Only then did I know that he was a peak-level or higher hunter. Seeing that he is ignorant of Korean culture, it seems that there is a special reason, but his skills are genuine.”
“… Killing a group of soldier ants with a single twig. Are you sure it was treated with branches?”
“I am sure.”
Kim Jun-hyeok admired.
soldier ant.
It is a very difficult monster.
It is known that the habit of using tunnels on hard shells exerts even more destructive power when forming a group.
But to treat such soldier ants with a single twig? Common sense could not understand it.
‘If what the guarantor said is true… … .’
I swallowed dry saliva.
Skilled beyond common sense.
There was no other way to explain it.
Joonhyuk Kim said.
“As you know, top-level talents are the talents that each government wants to recruit. Of course, if this fact is known, the central government will approach you, but the Incheon government also needs peak hunters. So if it’s not an unreasonable request, could you bridge the gap with him?”
“It is impossible now.”
“Does ‘for now’ mean that later is possible?”
“yes. He said he warned no one to contact me for the next month. I don’t mean to block conversations with the government. However, it seemed that he needed time to adapt to this place. If someone breaks the warning and approaches, he said that he cannot guarantee what will happen after that, so if the Incheon government intends to recruit him, it would be better to keep the line for now.”
It was sincere advice.
the problem is.
One month was too long for the Incheon government.
‘From the moment you came to me and mentioned the pinnacle hunter, it is certain that information about the pinnacle hunter will be leaked in some way.
The central government and various hunter guilds will approach the pinnacle hunter. Still, would it be right for me to wait for a month?’
It was a dilemma.
If you waited out of consideration for your opponent and the other forces snatched the peak hunter first, there was nothing more ridiculous than that.
but.
“All right. I will never approach you for a month.”
Kim Jun-hyeok took a step back.
The ability to defeat a group of soldier ants with a single twig.
An attitude that anticipated the reporting system and drew the line.
It was instinct.
I had a visceral feeling that if my relationship with him went wrong, it wouldn’t be good in the future.
I had no intention of staying still.
Shuk.
“This is my personal contact. If you need help from the Incheon government or if you have any personal contact, please feel free to contact us here. And all materials will be supported by the Incheon government so that he does not have any inconvenience while living in Incheon. You don’t have to be burdened. If you can arrange a meeting just once a month from now, I will definitely reward you greatly.”
only one encounter.
It was a minimal request.
I thought it was reasonable enough for Kang Min-ho.
“All right. I will.”
“thank you. however… May I know his name?”
Moment.
Minho Kang’s eyes widened.
Now that I think about it, he still didn’t know Roman Dmitri’s name.
* * *
It was as expected by Kim Jun-hyeok.
Within 10 minutes of being informed, information about Roman Dmitri leaked out.
Government Building Stairs.
A man called somewhere.
“I just heard the scoop. An unknown person came to Incheon today, and he is said to be a peak hunter. Independents too!”
[Independent peak hunter. Are you sure?]
“I am sure. When have I ever lied to you with information like this? The Incheon government reported and received a phone call, and to confirm the fact, the guarantor and Kim Jun-hyeok are meeting alone. If the mayor of Incheon moves directly, it must be clear that he is not an ordinary person.”
[i get it. If that information is true, we will not forget that ball in our Red moon guild.]
“Thank you! thank you!”
The man’s expression brightened.
He is one of the many gangsters belonging to the Incheon government.
It was a great achievement to open a kite with major guilds in Incheon such as Red Moon in the coming chaos.
but.
There was a fact he had overlooked.
Kang Min-ho’s warning.
I couldn’t report Roman Dmitri’s warning not to approach him for a month because I couldn’t directly hear the private meeting between Incheon Mayor and Kang Min-ho.
Actually, if I had known, it wouldn’t have been a problem.
It was a simple matter.
No faction would ever wait a month in the process of winning a powerful person.
* * *
A few days after that.
Roman Dmitry spent time alone.
one month.
The reason Kang Min-ho was notified of that time was to fully grasp the world in which he would live in the future.
‘You can’t always solve the problem of language with magic. Obviously, there will be an unavoidable situation where the language does not work, and it is incompetent to pass the responsibility to environmental factors every time. figuring out a new world. In order to live in the future, we must accept the new reality.’
The first step in adaptation.
It was learning.
It was different from my previous life.
At that time, many problems were solved with memories imprinted on the body, but now more effort was needed than then.
of course.
Unlike that time, it was equipped with a powerful force from the start.
He was confident that he would defeat any enemy he encountered, but Roman Dmitri did not allow any elements to be careless under any circumstances.
It has crossed the dimensional boundary. If you can’t predict the future in an unknown world, you need to prepare perfectly within the scope of what you can do.
that’s the.
It was Roman Dmitry.
After asking Kang Min-ho for various materials necessary for learning, he did not step out of the villa.
Knowledge accumulated quickly.
The upper part of the body is open.
The brain developed by leaps and bounds.
It’s only been a few days, but ordinary people have sucked up an amount of knowledge they couldn’t dare to imagine.
In the meantime.
Roman Dmitry had doubts.
‘God said he would send me back to the original world. Since it’s the only way my soul won’t cause any more problems, it must mean that the world I’m in right now is the distant future of my previous life. However, there are no records related to Murim anywhere in the world. The fact that the world is mentioned as an existence in fantasy can be taken as meaning that they perished after I disappeared.’
Murim’s destruction.
It was a shocking future.
In the past, the imperial family carried out a policy of eradicating the Murim people, but their plan was canceled because Baek Jung-hyeok existed.
It was a problem that we had to slowly figure out in the future.
It was not that he had any lingering attachments to the past, but at least he needed to find out about the background of the collapse of the Demonic Cult he cultivated.
Embarrassingly, martial arts did exist in this world.
It did not originate from the midfield, but was a branch derived from a system that made people stronger.
People called it a skill.
As Roman Dmitry, he had not experienced the system, but he intended to study them gradually, just as he had mastered the methods of the Salamander Continent.
this life.
It hasn’t been sorted out yet.
How to live and what is the purpose of life.
In the unstable flow of life, Roman Dmitry gained knowledge and kept his balance.
It was the same on that day.
As he read the books he received from Kang Min-ho, he heard a strange visitor knocking on the door.
smart.
“Are you there?”
voice.
footfall.
It wasn’t Kang Min-ho.
Uninvited guest.
The opponent knocked on the door once more as if forcing his presence.
smart.
“I’m from the Redmoon Guild. I heard you’re here, but you talk to me directly.”
Hearing his voice just didn’t seem like he was going to back down.
A tone that announces an encounter.
It was annoying.
Roman Dmitri rose from his seat.
Tearing the preliminary interpretation scroll Minho Kang had given him, Roman Dmitri opened the front door with a cold face.
