210. 51 The forest where mysterious things live. (7)

After completing the quest, Taesan returned to the realm of the Gremlins.

The forest on the way back was very quiet. Taesan caught and killed them all, so it must have been natural. The survivors must be holding their breath waiting for the mountain to pass.

All while hating him and the gremlins.

“Here.”

The Gremlins were waiting silently outside the house. Taesan gave him the white horn of a unicorn.

“ha ha ha. I really brought it…

He played with his white horns with a dry laugh.

“Combined with the things you brought me… I can achieve what I want.”

He clenched his horn.

“First of all, I have to give you a reward. receive. It’s a strength I’ve achieved over the course of my life.”

[You have learned beginner alchemy.]

“Find out how to use it on your own. I have no intention of telling you that far.”

Taesan nodded. The gremlin continued, fiddling with its horn.

“And… since you perfectly brought what I wanted, I should give you more rewards. say it. what do you want I think he probably wants fairy wings.”

“Can you give me something like that?”

Wings of a fairy that can freely fly through the air. It was a huge advantage for an adventurer if he could get it for sure

. The gremlin nodded.

“That is alchemy. We need a lot of materials, but the ones you brought are enough.”

“Charming, but… that’s okay. I already got it.”

“already?”

The puzzled gremlin soon put on an expression of realization.

“Is it a place made by dragons…

” Yes. So I don’t need it.”

“Then what do you want?”

“well.”

Now, when he broke through the floor, there was nothing to say that this was uncomfortable, so it was difficult to say exactly what it was. The only air battle they had was resolved by obtaining Fairy Wings.

After thinking for a moment, Taesan opened his mouth.

“I wish I could increase my attack power and defense power. Is that possible?”

The current attack power was high enough. However, as most of the things he was dealing with were lower-level beings,

the damage reduction by defense was large.

Taesan wanted to solve that problem. At Taesan’s words, the gremlin stroked his chin.

“Attack power… impossible… not impossible.”

“Is it possible?”

“But if that happens, it will be made as equipment. Which part do you want?”

“ring.”

Taesan replied immediately. As if the gremlin knew it, he entered the house.

“Follow me.”

Let Taesan follow him inside.

The appearance of the interior was the same as before, but it was bland. Except for a few pieces of furniture necessary for living, all alchemy tools were visible.

“Give me the one ring you have.”

Taesan took out the ring.

[Ring of deep scars]

[Attack power + 2]

[A ring with inexplicable

scars. The energy of the owner who engraved the scar is engraved and curses everything that approaches.]

It was a ring that had been used for a really long time. It was a useless ring for anyone else, but it was useful because it was from Taesan.

The gremlin examined the ring with a puzzled expression.

“The value of the ring itself is not bad, but it looks useless.”

“I met Einzhar.”

“Ah… that nasty inspiration. I get it.”

The gremlin nodded and accepted the ring. He placed the ring on the table littered with clutter.

“Alchemy is the art of mixing ingredients together to create objects of great value.”

He started to sprinkle something on top of the ring one by one.

“But alchemy, unlike magic, is not a safe technique. It’s an unstable technology and we’re pursuing it. The ring contains the force generated by the repulsion of strong materials mixed and colliding with each other.”

He sprinkled white powder and then green powder. The powders collided with each other and created heat, which melted the ring.

Gremlins continued their work. Taesan repeats incomprehensible acts.

After ten minutes, the gremlin sprayed blue liquid at the melting ring.

And quickly hid under the table.

Pew!

The moment the liquid touched the sparks, an explosion occurred.

It was such a huge explosion that it blew everything in the house. The clutter hit the wall and fell. Only the table was firmly holding its place as if something had been processed.

Chi profit.

The ring that appeared after the explosion was covered with powder.

The gremlin raised its head and took the ring.

“It is well made. receive.”

[A ring of deep scars forged through alchemy]

[Attack power + 15]

[A ring with inexplicable scars. The energy of the owner who carved the scar is engraved and curses everything that approaches. The petal powder that swallows everything and the mist that breathes are combined with the water of the explosion.] The

attack power went up by 130.

Taesan hesitated at the unexpected change.

The gremlin shook its head at Taesan’s silent gaze at the ring.

“I’ll say it just in case, but even if you make it now, that level will never come out. Even if there is a slight mistake in the middle, proper performance does not come out, and if it fails, the equipment itself disappears.”

“It’s tricky.”

But in other words, raising the level meant that this kind of change could be made.

“If it were easy, I would have used a dog or a cow. From now on, you take care of yourself.”

He pulled out several gray bags from his bosom.

“Take this too.”

[You got five Blessing Powder made from Fairy Wings.]

[Blessed Powder made from Fairy Wings]

[Continuously restores health and mana for a certain period of time. The recovery speed is quite fast.]

It was similar to what Lee Tae-yeon received, but it was a better effect than that. Since I received five of them, it looked like I could use them usefully in dangerous situations.

Taesan accepted the powder. Gremlin took out a compass and handed it over.

“If you go where this compass points you, you will find your way to the 52nd floor.”

And he started organizing juseom juseom.

“Then go. I’m done with you.”

Taesan accepted the compass and asked.

“Do you really think you can be satisfied with that?”

“I came all the way here.”

The gremlin let out a laugh. It was more like sobs than laughter

.

“I… can’t back down.”

“okay?”

Taesan left without saying anything further.

Left alone, the gremlin stared blankly at the room and started tidying up.

Then, into the bubbling pot, he began to put the ingredients one by one. Finally, when the unicorn’s horn was inserted, thick smoke spread from the pot.

The smoke went out, and there was powder sticking to the floor.

The gremlin raked in the dust.

“I…

he shut up.

‘I am.’

He used to think that way sometimes.

If you don’t have a self.

I wish I had a spirit lower than that of animals like my own people.

Maybe I could have been happier than this.

Gremlin. A race that is ugly and lives in a gutter

. A monster that can’t even handle tools properly and can’t be counted.

There, he alone had intelligence.

That in itself was despair.

Not only that, but he was congenitally small and suffered from contempt and violence from his own people.

Monsters are worse than beasts. And when it became difficult for animals to survive, they would kill the weakest offspring first.

The gremlin barely escaped the hands of its own people and parents who were trying to eat it

.

The gremlin, who entered the deep forest, had made up his mind.

I said that I would abandon the species called Gremlins.

He said he would equip himself with abilities and live in harmony with other races that matched his intellect.

Entering the demonic realm, he made desperate efforts in the woods. Without anyone’s help, he gathered the materials alone and developed his strength. As a result, he obtained alchemy that no one could catch up with. He

went out of

the woods, delighted with his achievement .

If you are now, you are the same as humans. I learned to speak and write by diligently reading human books abandoned in the forest. Since we can communicate, we can help them and live with them.

he believed so

That was until he threw it into the bars, marveling that the first human he had met was a talking gremlin.

He became a circus beast.

he cried desperately. He said he could use alchemy. that you guys can help that we

can do it together

But nobody listened to him. They were just amazed that gremlins could talk.

Only then did the gremlin realize. That it doesn’t matter what he has learned or what he has.

That no matter what power he has, he is just an insignificant monster.

It was the same when I came out of the monster liberation group and freed him. They looked at the gremlin as a wonder, but

did not see it as the same creature.

He returned to the forest.

Then, he dug into alchemy like crazy, gathered information, and noticed the existence of the labyrinth.

labyrinth.

A place where all the mysterious things of the world gather.

The gremlin was excited. If it is there, one’s existence can be accepted. He also believed that he could communicate with others as an equal individual.

So he entered the labyrinth.

However, even in the Labyrinth, he was just that Remlin.

Beautiful beings full of mystery still despised him.

“In the end, the gremlins are the problem.”

he sobbed. No matter what he gains or what achievements he achieves, no one acknowledges him. do not accept him don’t be friends with him

He has been alone all his life.

Maddened, he made a decision.

If that’s the case, it’s fine if you’re not a gremlin.

It’s okay to be like them.

He looked at the clumped powder with dangerous eyes.

That’s it. Either way it is.

Taking the powder, he stumbled out.

The gremlin headed deep into the forest.

[Looks dangerous.]

“It’s his own choice. I have no right to stop you.”

Taeyeon Lee said. It’s a pity. I wanted to come too. but he said he couldn’t

But Tae-san couldn’t stop him. No matter what he says, Gremlin

will react the same way he did to Lee Taeyeon.

Whatever the outcome, it was a choice Gremlin herself had.

Taesan went back to the village and took herbs and flowers from the forest one by one. Perhaps because he had learned alchemy, he was able to see things he hadn’t seen before.

[A flower with blue blood]

[It has the energy of a cold flame. Repulsive force is strong and harmony is difficult.]

[Roots hidden deep]

[It has the energy of the solid earth. Repulsive force is weak and coordination is easy.

It is easily combined with a specific attribute.]

“What is it called?”

There were only phrases that were difficult to understand. Even the ghost did not know much about alchemy.

[alchemy. I’ve only heard of it, but I’ve never seen anyone other than Gremlin actually use it. It must be quite difficult to learn the basics, right?]

“It must be difficult alone.”

It seemed that I would have to stay in the forest for well over a month to do it alone, if I didn’t know if there was someone’s help.

Taesan arrived at the village, packing the ingredients.

Darien was waiting at the entrance to the village. He looked at Taesan and approached him with a bright face.

It was a very different expression from the last time I saw it.

“Are you here? How did it go?”

“You won’t be coming here anymore.”

“Did you pass the Sat?”

“okay.”

Darien’s eyes twitched. But he managed to put a smile on his lips.

“congratulations! I knew you could do it!”

Taesan stared blankly at Darien.

“What are you doing?”

The previous time he left, he had cursed at me. There was no reason to treat him friendly now.

“No, I’m sorry that I said too much. You risked your life there and came all the way here, but you couldn’t celebrate properly, did you?”

He grabbed Taishan by the arm and dragged him into the village.

“come in. I will congratulate you.”

Taesan looked at him expressionlessly. Anxiety crept over Darien’s face.

He stepped away. Darien’s expression brightened at the sight of Taesan following him.

The moment he set foot in the village, Taesan could feel a cool sensation passing through his body.

A wave of power never felt before.

It was being felt at the bottom of the village.

“Are you ready now?”

Taesan murmured.

He thought the guides were waiting in the woods.

But the forest was a place they couldn’t live in.

That is, when he passed through the village, the guides were in the village, waiting for something with bated breath for him to pass.

‘I hope I’m not disappointed.’

Taesan entered the village.
