Chapter 237
Episode 237: Rescue Tanrang
“Hey, destroyer.”
“yes.”
“Why on earth are you wearing that creepy mask?”
At the point of the salt-layer wearing a rich fur coat, I briefly fumbled with the [Carcosa mask] that was covering my face. It’s a mask that’s more familiar to me than my own face, but it looks like the salt yeomja is dissatisfied.
“Well, it’s the same reason you chose this dark and dirty abandoned factory as the meeting place.”
“What is he saying now? XX.”
Yeom Geum-ja took a puff of cigarette smoke and exhaled it.
“Oh, you want to hide your identity? Do you think there is a life you are enjoying with the face hidden beneath that mask? Actually, for a wizard like you, this kind of shit would just be a leisurely activity.”
It’s a natural association.
A wizard who has reached a certain level can accumulate astronomical amounts of money without having to engage in dirty evil or dangerous darkness.
This is especially true if you have practiced the school’s magic that can produce artifacts.
That’s why Yeomgeumja seems to have thought of me as an immature wizard who enjoys a brief escape.
“That’s the way it is.”
I’m sorry, but I don’t have that kind of life.
The peaceful daily life that can be enjoyed with the face beneath the mask has been robbed by the transcendent beings who determine the fate of this world.
And dealing with dozens of criminals in this shady and dark abandoned factory is part of the struggle to regain the daily life that was robbed.
“Well, why don’t you check the items instead?”
“Show me.”
“Hyeondeok.”
Jang Hyeon-deok takes out an item from the call van that is embarrassing to call a ‘toy gun’.
“Here you go.”
“Give it to you.”
“yes.”
For a big-time criminal, she has a loose personality, but the dozens of gangsters lined up behind her are glaring at us with cruel expressions, as if they are ready to beat us up the moment we get angry.
“Ma’am, you have to hold it this way.”
I thought there might be an accident, but Jang Hyeon-deok surprisingly seems accustomed to dealing with these types of people in places like this.
‘Well, my original job was to deal with solvers and criminals.’
Geumja Yeom frowned as he examined the ‘toy gun’ handed to him by Hyeondeok Jang.
A miscellaneous object made by forcibly combining trash and jewels. He looked slightly relieved after confirming that the jewels embedded were magic stones, but his dissatisfaction still seemed to remain.
“X suit, no matter how I look at it, it looks like a piece of trash, doesn’t it? Hey, bomb. “Are you sure this f*ucking thing works as you say?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to unify the titles as Destroyer and Bomber?”
“Ha, X bar. “You can’t believe you’re tying such an expensive magic stone with this kind of trash.”
Yeomgeumja cursed and ignored my words and continued fiddling with the ‘toy gun’.
“I admit it looks sloppy. “Still, it’s the same thing I told you about.”
“Is this how you do it?”
Yeom Geum-ja takes aim at the vacant lot of an abandoned factory while awkwardly assuming a gun-pointing stance.
“Don’t shoot at the pillar because the building might collapse.”
“under? okay. Okay, then let’s shoot that f*ucking wall. “What about bullets?”
“Put this in there.”
“X-bar, isn’t this a screw?”
“You can put anything that sticks to a magnet.”
“hmm-”
Cheolkkeun- Pajijijijik- Piyung-
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
[protection team]
[Spell Enhancement: Multiple Casting]
[Spell Enhancement: Maximization]
“Aaaah!?”
A huge explosion and dust rising in all directions. The thick walls of the abandoned factory were completely ripped open.
If the protective force had not been activated at the right time, someone could have been injured.
“That can’t be possible…” … .”
“Wow… … .”
“Really bomb… … .”
The thugs of the Bongilcheon Sect who were lined up behind Yeomgeumja lost the stern attitude they had maintained so far and looked astonished.
Normally, Yeomgeumja would have been offended by such a sloppy appearance, but Yeomgeumja was equally surprised.
“what? X suit? “What the f*uck, how can this thing do that thing?”
“The magic power extracted from the magic stone is converted into electricity and then the bullet is ejected through electromagnetic induction. In the process, properties such as penetration, explosion, guidance, and electricity are given to the bullet.”
“No-no! No need to explain! X-Bar- This is just f*ucking killer XXXX! “That’s enough!”
Yeomgeumja bursts into cheers. The eyes are shining with greed and madness.
“Well, it looks like this, but you can think of it as a grenade launcher that is light, has no recoil, and even has a guidance function.”
“okay! okay! That’s it! “This would be enough to kill that bastard.”
Recently, Yeomgeumja has been growing strangely by preying on the power of the Red Head.
Jeokdu, who was already being beaten by the Cheongho faction led by Jeong Hyeon-ah, eventually pulled out a new card, and that card put Yeom Geum-ja in great trouble.
If there is a sufficient supply of this product, the troubles of salt farmers will be solved at once.
“How much is it? How much should I give? “How many can you prepare for me?”
“I’ll give it to you cheaply. And the quantity will not be particularly lacking.”

Unlike other people who are swayed by the madness caused by the blueprint and create something different every time, I, who have [Abyss Madness], do not have such a problem.
If you want to make it, you can make as many more exactly like this.
“So how much is it specifically?”
I asked for a price so low that I barely wondered if it would cover the cost of materials. You could give it away for free, but that would only cause mistrust and suspicion.
“Cum like that?”
“yes. But you know that the problem I mentioned before remains the same, right?”
“At this price, I can accept that.”
“great. “Then, while we’re at it, can I ask you a favor?”
“f*ck, I knew that would happen.”
“If you accept, I will also provide you with plenty of the magicite bombs and consumable artifacts I mentioned before.”
“What? “Just say something first.”
I spread out my hands and created a large illusion in the empty space of the abandoned factory. This is a map of Paju implemented in a three-dimensional manner.
I said, adding light to some places on the map to highlight them.
“Here, here, here, here. And here.”
Buildings, abandoned houses with unknown owners, abandoned buildings due to cancellation of construction, strange pillars placed in the mountains, abandoned abandoned factories similar to where we are now, and now empty lots with nothing in them.
Well, these are roughly ‘places known to be like that.’
“What is that? whatever?”
“When you have time, could you please destroy those places?”
“… … what? Ah, damn it, now you’re making me your errand boy-?”
“no. no. calm down. “You will be satisfied once you find out the circumstances.”
I informed him of the reasons for selecting those locations, and he was satisfied.

“Wizard! “Wizard!”
Jang Hyeon-deok starts talking excitedly as soon as he sits in the driver’s seat.
“huh?”
“I was wondering what they were doing with that toy gun, and it was something like that?”
“You saw it with your own eyes, right? “You asked me if it was a railgun, but you didn’t guess its power?”
“yes! “I couldn’t guess!”
“… … .”
Jang Hyeon-deok is a fool, but he is still a proud fool. If you’re this confident, I don’t even want to make fun of you.
“and! “How did you make something so amazing?”
“It’s not that great.”
Even without that, I can fire 10 magic arrows at a time with about 10 times the power.
“Can I buy one of those too? “I don’t think it would be faster than learning magic, right?”
“Ah, I was wondering what this kid was thinking.”
What I want from Jang Hyun-deok is not physical firepower. If I needed something like that, I would have gone to Incheon a long time ago, bought an assault rifle and some grenades, and trained him as [Armored Jang Hyeon-deok].
“I don’t think-”
“What’s wrong? Plus, that thing is a bit unstable, so the failure rate is very high.”
“Is it broken?”
“huh. Either it doesn’t fire or it self-destructs.”
“Now, self-destruction?”
The failure rate is 30%. Of course, if it breaks down, it doesn’t explode right away, but when it breaks down, a luck roll is activated, and if the roll fails, it explodes.
Oh, that doesn’t mean I scammed the depositor.
I spoke honestly from the beginning.
Nevertheless, because Yeomgeumja was constantly begging for the money to be sold to him, the deal was concluded.
“okay. Self-destruction. “Those gentlemen are people with no backs, so they took something like that because they liked it, but do you want to use it too?”
“It explodes hard?”
“If you’re unlucky, people nearby will die too.”
“What if I’m lucky?”
“Maybe it will end with only the person who fired the gun dying?”
“Ugh.”
If they can manage it carefully, it won’t explode, but can Yeomgeumja’s subordinates really manage it so meticulously?
“By the way, Jang Hyeon-deok.”
“yes?”
“Why do you want to learn magic? “After hearing what you said earlier, it doesn’t necessarily have to be magic, right?”
There is no need to bother learning magic if you are satisfied with just using a magic wand.
“Uhm-”
Jang Hyeon-deok looked thoughtful for a moment and then spoke.
“Money.”
“money?”
“Yes, because I want to make a lot of money. “I’m driving because the only thing I know how to do is drive, but I really want to have a lot of money.”
Paju’s security taxi is the most dangerous and at the same time the most profitable job that a driving expert without any special skills can do.
It’s a security taxi because it sounds good, but ultimately its main job is to help criminals escape.
If you clear the awesome getaway quest, you can make a few hundred to a few thousand in one night, but you will literally have to risk your life.
“If you’re going to risk your life anyway, it’s better to become a problem solver with special abilities, right?”
“So you wanted to learn magic? Want to become a problem solver? “Even if you don’t do that, I’ll pay you a lot of money, right?”
“Hey, how long are you going to rely solely on the wizard? And I need more money than that.”
“Oh, you’re talking about saving money to immigrate to a foreign country?”
“yes.”
“At that level, you can make enough money to settle down without having to risk your life, right?”
Jang Hyeon-deok smiled strangely for a moment. It’s a somewhat self-mocking smile.
“Well, I’m not the only one.”
“Who else is there besides you?”
“About 40 people?”
“40 people?”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s not a foreign country. “About 40 people need money to settle down and live in a safe area.”
“that-”
I almost said it was an orphanage, or rather an orphanage.
“-You mean your younger brothers?”
“that’s right. The place I was in was in really bad condition. Even if you donate so much, these bastards don’t even give the kids a proper set of clothes? “They take a lot of money from the kids.”
“What kind of money are you taking from these kids? Isn’t this done in the country? “Is this where gangsters work?”
“huh? “Is it me?”
Jang Hyeon-deok makes an absurd expression.
“Even if it’s not state-run, aren’t you going to do things like control and manage it?”
“Ah, wizard, you don’t know about this either? Did I mention my security taxi experience?”
“I heard you drove it for about 6 years?”
“I’m 22 years old.”
“22 years old? “Did you?”
This means that I have been risking my life in the taxi business since I was 16.
And there’s no way that security taxi was Jang Hyeon-deok’s first job.
Before then, in this dangerous world of [Cthulhu World], I would have done all kinds of things that are difficult to imagine.
“What does the country manage? When I heard it, they said it was abandoned after the Great Collapse?”
I know what you’re talking about. This wasn’t the story of an ‘ordinary’ orphanage in the world I lived in.
A huge number of people died after the Great Collapse.
Moreover, even now, humans in [Cthulhu World] are dying frequently. As the number of dead adults is large, the number of children who have lost their parents is bound to be large.
However, the governments of this world do not have proper management capabilities.
“So you’re going to make a lot of money and move to another country with all the kids you know?”
“What… … . It’s just a dream. “You can dream, right?”
