My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 255

Zhuge Dynasty (1)
Yongzhong Mountain, Hubei Province.
This was the place where the Zhuge Dynasty, a strongman who ruled the area, settled down, and it was also the land where one of the dragon veins was located..
In fact, since dragon veins were also included in feng shui to begin with, it was no exaggeration to say that most of the strongholds of famous powers were located in such famous places..
Whether they occupied good land based on their strong power, or whether their power grew because they were in good land, may vary..
Thanks to this, they were able to maintain relative stability even in this chaotic situation, and were risking their lives to protect their home base while waging a war to secure additional dragon veins..
In addition, the Zhuge family was a renowned and renowned family that was one of the first in the field of fighting techniques and martial arts..
The defenses around Yongzhong Mountain, where they were located, were literally like an impenetrable fortress that no one could attack..
‘It was like that···.’
Today, the second commander of the Heavenly Energy Guard, who oversees the outskirts of the Zhuge Dynasty, held his sword and glared at the uninvited guest in front of him..
The place where they are now is inside Daerageumsaejin (大羅禁碎陳), the sixth of the seven camps spread out on Yongzhong Mountain..
Except for the final formation, which assumed the enemy had already infiltrated the inside of Sega, it was virtually the final line of resistance..
The family's proud defense spread throughout Yongzhong Mountain... The defense they were confident in was breached in an instant..
At first glance, it could be said that it was a disgraceful act unworthy of their reputation, but of course they had something to say..
‘Crazy, I broke the true law through the sky and came straight here.?’
In the first place, since the formation method itself involved using specific pieces or natural terrain, it had no choice but to specialize in dealing with enemies on the ground..
Of course, Zhuge Dynasty had some countermeasures against the air, including some martial arts, but there was no way he could have been prepared for an opponent who freely roamed the sky and climbed over an entire mountain.!
‘Even if this mountain is not very high, it is true.···!’
When the intrusion was first detected at the beginning of the mountain, I did not think it was a big deal..
Then, as soon as the intruder broke through and entered the second camp, an emergency summons was immediately issued.···.
Even if the opponent's entry speed was fast, it was too fast..
‘We need to make the most of our time here.!’
A situation in which they must somehow buy time until the rest of Sega is fully prepared for battle..
Gritting his teeth, the second lord held the sword in his hand tightly and opened his mouth with a serious expression..
“···A final warning. Please explain the reason for trespassing on this family’s territory without permission..”
No matter how much Daerageumsaejin assisted them, it was forbidden to act rashly against such an unidentified expert..
The best way to get to know the other person is by spending time talking to them..
But unexpectedly, the intruder responded by nodding obediently..
“Oh, this was rude. nice to meet you My name is Harry Su, and I came here because I wanted to ask you some questions on my way home..”
“···In the public, unauthorized visits are usually called trespassing..”
“oh! Is that so? As you can see, I am not from here. ha ha ha!”
The warriors of the Zhuge Dynasty looked dumbfounded at that shameless answer..
Of course, it has a unique appearance that can be recognized as a foreigner even at a glance, but it is a bit difficult to insist that such a basic thing is a cultural difference.···.
‘No, isn't it? It doesn't seem like he's even a human being, let alone an outsider. ···Do you really not know human culture because you are a monster? What should I do in this case??’
When such a reasonable suspicion arose, the second ruler's expression showed confusion..
When the other person intruded in, I thought it was a definite enemy, but since the intruder's attitude was so carefree, he started to get confused about how to respond..
“···In that case, please wait here for a moment. Welcoming guests requires preparation. I'm sure you'll follow that much.?”
His decision was to take the other person's words in moderation and take advantage of them..
The superiors would make the decision anyway, and his job was to take as much time as possible..
“I think I was very rude here. So shall we do that??”
The acceptance was so cool that it was as if the warriors were extremely nervous..
Harris, an uninvited guest with blond green eyes and long ears, nodded calmly..
***
‘The goal is to increase influence, but there is no need to allege all forces. Although these enemies were not qualified by my standards, it doesn't seem like the Zhuge family is exploiting those around them that much..’
Of course, the current uproar was created by showing a little of this side's power to build a smooth relationship, but isn't this just common self-promotion that can be found everywhere??
And although he didn't show it outwardly, Harris was secretly impressed by the strategy that forced him to come down to the ground as he was about to storm into Sega..
‘Indeed, is this really the correct method? It's amazing?’
To be more precise, he was completely fascinated by the flow of energy connected to the area, himself, and each warrior..
The natural energy flowing through the counter like a gear wheel feels like a work of art..
And feeling that way was on a completely different level.—.
The same was true for the immortal king in the immortality of Outerica..
[Hmm, this is interesting. To the extent of forcibly oppressing a strong person as strong as Harris... Now, I see that the five formations we passed earlier are also connected to this place, amplifying their effects. Was this the extent of the system??]
Hans, who was conducting research alone in the closet, slightly tilted his head and muttered softly..
The 'Jin method', which was incorporated into the "Way of Magic" after encountering it on Earth, was a method he often used because it was versatile in many ways..
Just by adding a little bit of it while drawing a magic circle or setting up an altar, the effect was dramatically amplified, so there was no reason not to use it..
However, with his level of knowledge, it was impossible for him to completely overcome the power of Zhuge Sega, the best in the Gangwhan world..
The only reason we were able to break through and enter there was because a talented person named Harris targeted the weak point of the air..
[Well, a force of that size would probably have a few visions like that in place. Hehehe... I really want this..]
Once you learn something, it becomes useful..
When Hans, who was so greedy for magic, was burning out his personal desires.
Harris was still concentrating on the movement of energy flowing within the formation itself..
‘If you look closely, it seems that this system is also related to the Bagua (八卦) of Muyu Bagua Bigong..’
Harris, who was otherwise sensitive to energy, became even more sensitive to the energy of this world after being introduced to martial arts..
To him, the culmination of this method, which uses the energy flowing in the world to bring about harmony in all kinds of nature, was nothing short of an excellent teaching aid..
‘Qigong encompasses the nature of Qi, its operation, the laws of this world contained therein, and all of that.···.’
Feeling like something was tingling in his head, Harris recalled the essence of the Eight Trigrams of Wuyu again and moved his energy little by little..
And Hubert, who shared the situation in real time through his senses, also naturally shifted the direction of analysis and assisted him..
‘Yes, when I thought about it, there was no need to follow the rules since we all had different conditions..’
In this world, humans who pursued the power of martial arts began by imitating exceptional beings from birth..
From wild beasts that threatened their survival to the movements of herbivores that are weak but still have excellent survival skills..
And it went beyond animals and began to include natural phenomena such as waterfalls and lightning, and eventually came to express idols such as the moon and sun, as well as abstract concepts such as death and abundance..
‘And what Muyu Bagua Bikong pursues is all things in heaven and earth... that is, harmony with nature. I already have too much.’
If that's the case, you don't need that part, so boldly throw it away..
He again used the incomplete Muyu Bagua Bikong and replaced the essential point about harmony with nature with the overwhelming affinity derived from “Nature’s Fairy Tale” and “Nature’s Call”..
Gooooo—
A huge amount of natural energy came from all directions, and the flow that formed the formation began to shake..
Then he felt the Mu-in representative in front of him shout something, but that wasn't that important to him right now..
You skipped unnecessary steps and took only the parts you lacked..
Since Hubert had already completed the overall analysis, there was no problem in proceeding as is..
‘Harmony. Fill in the gaps with excess and grow together.’
The rushing energy rushed into Harris' body and began to form a small inner circle at the Danjeon area..
Although his overloaded body creaked due to the sudden change, Harris, who had already reached transcendence and perfected his vital body, quickly accepted it all and adapted in an instant..
and finally.
《Objects bloom into possibilities by achieving conditions. Acquire the special skill “Natural Retardation”.》
《The entity achieved enlightenment through repeated training. Acquire the skill “Muyu Bagua Secret Gong (改)”.》
I thought it would be possible to gain something only after a considerable period of time had passed, but due to an unexpected opportunity, I was able to reap the benefits much earlier than expected..
And Harris could instinctively feel it.
「At the same time as learning ‘Natural Body’, the possibility of forming relationships with more diverse types of spirits opened up..
‘···Man, I'm looking forward to going back to Outerica..’
A faint smile appeared on Harris' face, taking in the turbulent energy..
Maybe it won't be long before we will be able to summon even the Spirit King, who is no different from a semi-divine god..
“ah!”
And only then did Harris, who was nervous about his surroundings, hurriedly look around and made a puzzled expression when he saw the warriors glaring at him with hard faces full of cold sweat..
“Ugh, what... this is ridiculous.···.”
“haha—.”
That's bound to happen.
While I was immersed in my own world, the barrier was unable to withstand the flow of energy... No, the truth was completely destroyed..
‘This is difficult. It wasn't intentional.’
Didn't he pretend to wait obediently and suddenly turn into a monster who went on a rampage and destroyed the line?.
At this point, it was like declaring war..
‘No, it would be better to just take over by force and make them listen to you.···.’
As Harris's thoughts became more and more extreme,.
“···Muyu Bagua Secret. Are you a descendant of Cheon Ki-moon??”
A heavy, old voice rang out..
And Harris, who had already sensed the crowd that had begun to surround him on all sides, naturally turned his gaze to look at the person who spoke to him..
I saw an old man slowly walking towards me with his eyes closed and a cane in his hands, with several warriors behind him..
“Huh! Lord Taesangga?”
Representative Mu-in, who had been dealing with Harris so far, looked at him in surprise, but the old man did not respond and continued speaking in a somber tone..
“The secret that deals with the guardians of nature and leads the phenomenon... It was a martial art that was the polar opposite of Kimunjinbeop. It was a study to change the flow of energy at will, which is the basis of formation..”
Harris paused at those words..
Should we really say that it is the famous Zhuge Dynasty?.
It was also unusual to see that he knew exactly the name and effect of the martial art..
“Hehehe, what kind of trick of fate is this? I thought that Muryang Seonja and his disciple lost their lives and his pulse was completely cut off from him. Moreover, if it is at this level... it can easily be called a beautiful landscape..”
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him suddenly stiffened..
Although I felt the flow of enormous energy and had an idea to some extent, the weight I felt was different after the eldest member of the family made the declaration..
No matter how Hyeon-gyeong was the opponent, I was confident that I would not lose even if I could not win if I used the last remaining power in Sega, but the opponent was someone who had the ability to match their talent, Jinbeop..
In other words, if you hit like this, you will definitely lose..
“Well, a distinguished guest came, but the old man talked a lot. So, what kind of business did you visit here??”
And in an instant, Harris, who sensed the reactions of those around him, quietly stroked his chin and looked at the old man..
The term “taesang family head” refers to the previous head of the family, so his authority must have been enormous, but this was a situation where such a person spoke of something like a “distinguished guest” and bowed first before extending his hand..
If you do this, your relationship will have a greater advantage than you initially thought..
It was a very good start.
“Ah, there are a few things I want to ask you... and something else I want to ask you for. Well, that's what I'm talking about···.”
In this situation, it was just a verbal request, but in reality it was no different from coercion..
Of course, for a smooth relationship in the future, you shouldn't ask for something that goes too far..
“Can I go in and talk first? I think I've been leaving this outside for too long. Treating guests well···.”
As soon as the opportunity arose, Harris had a bad personality and immediately turned arrogant..
