My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 257
#257
Zhuge Dynasty (3)
Now, the privilege has grown to be able to be used every 5 days in other world time, “Summon Other World Transmission Form”」.
As soon as the cooldown time expired, Hugo crossed over to Kang Hwan-gye and was able to enter Jegal Sega right away through the arrangement of Harris..
‘Mmm, this is thrilling..’
As he was taking a leisurely stroll through Seganae, he smiled bitterly at the subtle wariness and hostility coming from those around him..
Well, I had no choice but to accept it, but it would be no different from humiliation from their perspective, so I could completely understand that reaction..
‘I wish Harris had taken a softer approach..’
Because he acted so radically, the antipathy toward him probably increased..
Even though I can't help what happened in the past, I couldn't help but feel regretful when it actually happened..
‘I think we need to restore our relationship first. What should I do??’
After Harris leaves in a few days, Hugo, now Ha Seung-hoon, will be in charge of Kang Hwan's affairs..
Of course, even if that were the case, Zhuge Emperor would not have hastily resorted to a trick, but improving relations was essential for smooth future work..
‘There is no other place with better conditions than here to naturally integrate into this world, collect information, and increase influence..’
Although there are no particularly strong people, their power as a group is as good as that of any other power, and they maintain friendly relationships with other political factions even after the world becomes chaotic. Geographically, they are located in the center of the continent, making expansion easy..
‘In addition, since the family is famous for being knowledgeable and capable, you will be able to receive various types of help in learning martial arts in a stable environment..’
In fact, Harris was just lucky enough to absorb the martial arts of Bagua in his own way, and could not be considered to have learned martial arts properly..
Therefore, he really needed the experience of learning it ‘the way’ at least once..
Only then will you be able to estimate how to utilize the power of martial arts in the future..
‘···Should I give you a gift??’
Since ancient times, there is no one who doesn’t like gifts..
At that time, wasn't there a lot of wealth that had been stolen from the eighteen houses of Dongdong?.
But I didn't think a Sega of this size would fall for something like that..
I don't even know how valuable it is when the world has come to this point..
Then, it would be better if things like elixirs and new recruits cannot be easily obtained with money or power.···.
“Excuse me. I'm sorry, but you can't enter from now on..”
“ah? This place···.”
While I was wandering around inside Sega, lost in thought,.
Hugo stopped at the words of a female warrior who suddenly appeared and blocked his path..
“This is the residence of the women of the Sega family, so we ask for your understanding..”
“···Oh my, I was so lost in my thoughts that I ended up being rude. I'll be back right away.”
“thank you for your understanding.”
As I was walking in a daze, it seemed like I had already reached Geumnam’s area..
I couldn't take my already low favorability rating further down by messing around like this for no reason..
He bowed his head slightly and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a voice sounded in his ear.—.
The sound of women's conversation came from far away inside the area..
-So, what do you think?···.
-The situation is not so good···.
‘hmm?’
It was just a few short words.
He instinctively stopped and listened intently due to a certain intuition..
Hugo had been doing all the work on Earth until now, but that didn't mean he was helpless without any powers..
Of course it has to be that way.
Karma based purely on status alone is close to 4 million, so how could it not be so??
Even though the core of the returnees' power was the mysteries and skills that originated from their respective worlds, their overwhelming numbers were enough to elevate his body beyond any singularity..
Of course, his senses were also far beyond the normal level..
With the concentration of “neuroticism” and the assistance of “versatility” added to it, it wasn’t that difficult to eavesdrop on the conversations of people talking defenselessly..
-Why do you throw a fit again in a chaotic situation because of uninvited guests? What should I do with this?.
-The elixir I brought this time didn't last me more than 15 days. Although the young lady has developed a tolerance to the medicine, the overall effectiveness of the elixir itself is decreasing. If we keep going like this, it won’t be long before···.
-Uh huh! Can't you watch your mouth? Where are you frivolous?!
-···sorry. But something needs to be done···.
“···Ha Sohyeop?”
As he listened for a while, he heard the voice of the warrior who had blocked his path again..
Even though you said you were going, why are you still doing this?.
Unlike Hugo, who was close to being a superhuman with just her physical ability, she, who had to use her internal energy separately to enhance her hearing, seemed not to have heard what he overheard..
“ah! sorry. Stop thinking about other things for a moment. Hahaha!”
Hugo smiled slyly and hurriedly stepped back..
I think I unexpectedly got some good information..
‘Hmm, I heard that the Zhuge family is quite famous for their medical skills. There are patients who couldn't be cured even with that.?’
Moreover, given the title ‘Miss’, it was clear that she was a woman of quite high rank..
Maybe it's a direct descendant of the family head..
In any case, there is no doubt that he is an important person..
‘It is an incurable disease that even the Zhuge Dynasty could not cure.···.’
Hugo lightly stroked his chin and rolled his head..
“good.”
And finally he thought about something..
With a smile on his face, he walked towards his residence with a lighter heart..
***
While Hugo was walking around the Sega, Harris was talking to the head of the Zhuge Sega, whose eyes were tightly closed..
To be more precise... it was closer to unilaterally receiving the desired information..
The biggest purpose of his coming here in the first place was to collect information, so that is also natural..
And the information obtained that way was quite useful..
‘22A winged stranger who attacked the imperial palace years ago and caused disaster. He assassinated the emperor and ripped out the dragon heart, the largest dragon vein on the continent, located on the site of the imperial palace.?’
As expected, the Zhuge Dynasty knew a lot about whether the imperial palace had ties..
Since the imperial family had completely fallen, there was no need to keep quiet, so he answered Harris' question obediently..
‘Beoncheonhoeju. As expected, he came here.’
Harris's eyes sank coldly..
There was a big difference between what was expected and what was confirmed..
Moreover, didn't we know for sure why he was so strong?!
‘It's basic to be able to cross dimensions like me. Since I led a world to destruction, the karma I gained from doing so would be beyond imagination. I don't know what kind of trick they used, but they even ripped off what was almost the source of energy.?’
It was so absurd that I couldn't even laugh..
And when I realized that this was not the only world he had visited in this way, my mind became even more dizzy..
‘No, let's calm down..’
But the confusion was short-lived.
Thanks to his overwhelming mental ability, he quickly regained his composure, let out a deep sigh, and calmly resolved the situation..
It is now clear that the hand of Buncheonhoeju has reached this world..
It is also clear that the method he chose to gain power was the destruction of Kang Hwan-gye..
okay.
then—.
‘If I do the opposite?’
Maybe we can get him out of the way?
If the person who has everything to gain in this world has already given up and left, no matter how hard you try, it may be of no use..
But even in that case, the harvest called karma could be obtained..
However, if the trick perpetrated on Kang Hwan-gye is not completely over,?
If he keeps using straws for something,?
‘I don't know what he wants, but I can't let him get his way..’
in any way it is.
The fact that things don't go as he wants could itself be a variable..
I had no intention of becoming the savior of the world.···.
There was nothing I could do about it..
‘First, stabilize this world as much as possible..’
And for that, the help of the Zhuge family is essential..
Harris suppressed his temper as best as he could and expressed his gratitude..
“Thank you for the good information. This was a great help..”
“Hehe, I'm glad it helped. ...By the way, this old lady also wants to ask me something..”
“···I don't know much about him either. We are gathering information like this to find out. But one thing I can tell you for sure is that he is also my enemy..”
“Hmm—?”
He answered first before Taesang Gaju asked a difficult question..
In fact, it was also true that I didn't know much about Beoncheonhoeju..
‘If I answer a question from a smart person for no reason, I'll end up losing money..’
In fact, you've probably already learned a lot of information just from the conversation we've had so far, but there's no need to spread the word on top of that, right?.
And now there were more important issues than that..
Harris cleared his throat lightly and began to lay the groundwork for that..
“I'm indebted to you for this, and I'd like to do something in return. Not only did I break the rules, but I also unintentionally caused trouble in many ways..”
“Hehe, it's repayment.···.”
“I happen to have some elixir roots. It's a small gesture of kindness, so please accept it..”
It was an elixir for him anyway, and he could gather it like digging up mugwort from the mountain behind him, so there was nothing to spare..
I was planning to visit Mt. Wudang sometime soon and sweep it all up..
“Oh, if that's the case, I'll be grateful..”
The head of Taesang nodded with a small smile..
Of course, it was just a courtesy response to an expression of sincerity, and it didn't seem like he was expecting much..
Looking at him like that, Harris quietly got to the point..
“Of course, the kid I brought... Ha Seung-hoon would be even more amazing than that. Haha!”
“hmm? What do you mean by that??”
The old man with his eyes closed slowly tilted his head..
I wondered if this absolute expert named Harry Su would be of any help to the young man who had no special experience..
“Oh, that kid has special powers. Of course, he has excellent muscles and intelligence as well..”
Harris will be leaving soon anyway..
Therefore, it was reasonable to increase Hugo's position to cooperate with them at this time..
Of course there is very little···.
“It is the ability to cure any disease..”
···Although there was some medication.
***
Magical tools made in another world cannot be used in a dimension where the energy system is completely different..
So what about the divine power that borrows the power of God??
‘The name and color are the power of God, but there is no way that I can be influenced by something like that..’
Of course, like on Earth, there were problems such as its power weakening when it crossed the dimension..
However, the cause was not the power itself, but rather a decrease in output caused by restrictions on the passage to draw it..
It doesn't mean that divine power doesn't activate at all..
Therefore, this attempt was also possible.
“Then come this way..”
Hugo followed Shibi, who was leading the way, and entered a building..
This is the inside of the place he once visited.
It was a kind of sanctuary where the women of the family lived and men from outside the family were not allowed to enter..
Of course, he wasn't invited here right away..
No matter how much Harris's boasts were there, there wasn't enough trust between them to just trust his words and move carelessly..
At first, it was a confirmation of authenticity accompanied by a polite request..
If he didn't know anything, he had such an extreme attitude that he wouldn't even have thought it was a test. Over the course of two days, he came into contact with a variety of patients, from those with minor injuries to the injured and those with diseases..
Of course, the method proposed by this side could not be abused that easily, so the number of people actually treated was not that large, but since the purpose of Zhuge Dynasty's side was to confirm the authenticity, it was not a big problem..
In the end, it turned out the way we both wanted..
“Umm.”
When Hugo saw the person lying on the bed, he began to drool unconsciously..
A girl who appears to be about fifteen years old with ebony-black hair and pale skin..
The girl was so pathetically thin and breathing so slowly that it looked like she wasn't breathing at first glance, but she was sleeping quietly like a corpse..
“Then, let's start treatment..”
There was no need to take any more time since it was a show done anyway to ensure smoother coordination..
Hugo approached the girl on the bed and immediately stretched out his hand towards her forehead..
‘Well then, please take care of me today too.!’
Suddenly, in his hand, a star symbol in a shape unfamiliar to this world began to shine dazzlingly..
Hwaak—
As the holy power of the other dimension radiates out,.
