Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 75

The appraiser’s eyes widened as he looked at the ginseng.

“Where did you get this?”

“I found it. I was hiking in the mountains.”

“May I ask which mountain you found it on?”

“No, you may not.”

“Ah…”

Minhyuk looked at the ginseng and asked the appraiser again.

“How old is it?”

“Let me examine the root node in more detail.”

The part of the ginseng that is exposed when it is buried in the ground is called the ‘root node.’

The root node bears marks where the sprout grew in the spring and then withered and fell in the fall.

Therefore, by looking at the root node, one can estimate the approximate age of the ginseng.

“However, if the environment is not favorable, the ginseng may not sprout and enter a state of dormancy. There are also some that shed part of their root node and sprout in a new location. So, we can’t determine the exact age just by looking at the root node, but…”

Minhyuk listened intently to the appraiser’s words.

“It looks to be at least 300 years old.”

As Minhyuk had guessed.

The number of stripes on the seashell indicated the age of the ginseng.

“How much is something like this worth?”

“Oh dear, this isn’t something I can appraise on my own.”

“Give me a rough estimate.”

“Have you heard about the 600 million won ginseng that was found recently? In my opinion, this is almost on par with that.”

The seashell he had found in less than 10 seconds at Lake Melbeck had turned into a 600 million won ginseng.

Now, all that remained was to sit on a bed of money.

“What do you plan to do with it? Should I contact the ginseng association for you? Wow, this will be big news.”

“No, I’ll come back later.”

“Yes?”

Thud-

Minhyuk quickly gathered the ginseng and left the garden.

He wasn’t ready to sell the ginseng yet.

Ginseng wasn’t like dragon incense that could be sold right away.

He would make enough money to shake the ginseng market in South Korea.

So he needed to thoroughly prepare himself by understanding the relevant laws.

‘Let’s just sell it all and make over 100 billion won!’

Minhyuk returned home.

And as he was about to cross over to the other world, he thought,

‘Should I eat one?’

He had been running around like crazy between this world and the other, so he needed to take care of his body with some ginseng.

Since there were 300 and 500-year-old clam shells rolling around in the shallows of Lake Melbeck, it didn’t matter if he ate one.

Pitter-patter-

He turned on the water slightly and carefully washed the 300-year-old ginseng, taking care not to damage the fine roots.

Crunch, crunch-

And he ate the whole thing, from the root to the stem.

He ate everything except the toxic head part.

He had learned how to eat ginseng at the garden.

He was told that eating ginseng would cause a reaction called manifestation.

His whole body could break out in a heat rash or he could get dizzy like he was drunk.

‘I feel a little sleepy.’

Minhyuk barely had any reaction.

But that didn’t mean it wasn’t effective.

He was told that the reaction could be severe or nonexistent, depending on the person.

Anyway, he felt great after eating the 600 million won ginseng, even if he didn’t know how effective it was.

Minhyuk shouted powerfully.

“Return!”

Poof-

With a flash of light, he returned to Lake Melbeck.

.

.

.

Finally, the Asdel army led by Minhyuk arrived at Melbeck Castle.

Wow!

The people of Melbeck greeted Minhyuk with cheers.

Minhyuk looked at them with a satisfied expression.

He could feel it.

Not a forced welcome, but one that came from the heart.

It was natural for them to be so enthusiastic since he had brought the heart of a dragon to restore the Altar of Protection.

It was also a cry of joy for the safe return of their husbands and sons who had been drafted.

“The tyrant is gone and the benevolent monarch has arrived!”

The king of Melbeck had been very eccentric, even when dealing with politics.

No one mourned his death.

Minhyuk arrived at the Melbeck Royal Palace.

The flag of the previous royal family had already been lowered from the palace’s spire.

With Minhyuk’s arrival, the flag of Asdel was raised.

The royal palace was upgraded to an imperial palace.

This place would also be Minhyuk’s residence from now on.

Minhyuk stood in the square in front of the Imperial Palace and proclaimed to the people.

“This place is my territory, and you are all my people!”

Wow!

The people’s cheers grew even louder.

＜You have brought all the people of Melbeck Fortress under your command.＞

＜Their return time will be credited when they hunt down the beast.＞

.

.

.

Minhyuk entered the garden in the center of the Melbeck Imperial Palace.

The Altar of Protection was in the garden, surrounded by high walls on all sides.

He brought the dragon’s heart to the Altar of Protection.

Ssssk-

The magic bead transformed into particles of light and was absorbed by the Altar of Protection.

At the same time, the territory of Protection began to expand.

Flutter-flutter-

Minhyuk rode Chunsam and followed the expanding territory’s boundary.

The territory of Protection expanded to the edge of the lake where Kudalkang lived.

The lake was so vast that even its edge was incredibly wide.

It was not a hindrance to picking up seashells.

‘I’ll pick up the seashells later.’

Minhyuk returned to the Imperial Palace.

And he ordered his vassals.

“Summon the Sage of the West.”

There was a very famous figure in Melbeck Fortress recently.

He distributed money to the poor and provided free medical care to the sick.

The people called him the ‘Sage of the West.’

When asked where he was from, he replied that he was from the west, hence the nickname.

Unbeknownst to them, he was the wandering magician who had caused the wind to blow at the bottom of the Horn Mountains with his magic.

Minhyuk was curious about him.

Was he doing these things because he had some kind of ulterior motive,

Or was he a true humanitarian helping others with sincerity?

‘I’ll know once I meet him.’

After a while, the wandering wizard arrived at the Imperial Palace.

Minhyuk carefully examined his face.

He was a handsome man who looked to be in his mid-twenties.

Furthermore, he had a very kind-looking impression.

Just by his appearance, he was a favorable type.

And he was not a member of another race that had transformed into a human, like the Kuna spy.

＜Human detected.＞

The message said.

The man in front of him was a real human.

The wandering wizard, no, Akaradong, smiled inwardly after observing Minhyuk’s expression.

‘He’ll never know my true identity.’

Up until now, the visitors who had crossed over to the Rania Continent from other worlds each had their own special abilities, but they had something in common.

They all had excellent emotional abilities.

They could not be fooled by clumsy transformation magic.

That was why Akaradong had used puppetry magic.

By manipulating the body of a real human, he could not only enter the realm of protection, but he would also not be affected by emotional abilities.

“It is an honor to meet Your Majesty. But why have you called for someone as insignificant as me?”

“I think I misunderstood you. I thought you were a fraud since you were doing good deeds without asking for anything in return.”

The wandering wizard replied with a grin.

“It’s not that there’s no reward. When I help others, even with my meager strength, my heart feels at ease, so doing good deeds is an act of saving myself. Don’t you know that better than I do, Your Majesty?”

“Me?”

“Following Asdel, you have also saved the people of Melbeck. Your Majesty is the true hero and savior of this land.”

He hadn’t called him to hear flattery.

Minhyuk asked the wandering wizard something he was curious about.

“Are you a wizard?”

He was asking whether the wind he had raised in the Horn Mountains was the power of a magic tool or his own magic.

Akaradong’s eyes sparkled for a moment.

Even if you don’t know your opponent’s abilities, you can trap them if you know what they desire.

‘So you’re interested in magic.’

Akaradong opened his hand.

Woosh-

A small flame ignited in his palm.

“As you can see, I can handle fire and wind even without a magic tool. In the Horn Mountains, I used a staff to amplify my magic.”

When using puppetry magic, a dragon cannot use its original abilities.

It cannot use Dragon Tongue magic.

It cannot draw mana from the heart of its ontology.

The reason why the Akaradragon can use magic in the body of a human is because the body’s original owner was a wizard when he was alive.

In the past, many warriors and wizards had fought against the dragon.

And most of them were killed by the dragon.

The dragons extinguished the souls of those who were useful and kept their bodies in subspace.

To use them as puppets when needed, just like now.

“Were you a real wizard?”

“A humble talent.”

“I thought all wizards had disappeared during the Great Flood, but you’re saying there’s a lineage?”

“No. I have no master. I learned magic by chance while wandering the world.”

“How?”

“I found a Magic Tower.”

I’ve heard about Magic Towers from Professor Raymon.

Magic Towers are places where precious magic books and magic tools are hidden.

And various traps are installed to protect them from outside intruders.

No one knows who created the Magic Towers or why.

In the past, those who were called Great Mages lived in the Magic Towers, but it doesn’t mean they built them.

“I entered the Magic Tower without knowing anything and almost died from a trap. But I was lucky enough to survive and get the ‘Nosco’ hidden on the first floor.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s a scroll that allows you to learn magic in an instant just by opening it.”

The Akaradragon was not lying.

Among the ancient magic scrolls, there was a golden scroll that allowed even those without any basic knowledge of magic to learn magic spells in an instant.

That was Nosco.

‘There’s something like that?’

If I find a Nosco that contains flight magic, I’ll be able to fly in the sky.

Then I could fall off Chun-sam’s back while flying in the sky and be safe.

I also wondered what would happen if I put Nosco in the refrigerator.

If it turns into something easy to obtain in large quantities, I could supply it to the soldiers.

That would give me an army armed with magic.

Well, Min-hyuk’s army is strong now, but it wouldn’t hurt to make it stronger.

‘Nosco···.’

It piqued Min-hyuk’s curiosity.

“I am weak and cowardly, so I could not go up to the second floor of the Magic Tower. If Your Majesty goes, you will be able to go up to the 10th or 20th floor and obtain the precious Nosco. If you wish, I will tell you the location of the Magic Tower.”

“Where is it?”

As Min-hyuk showed interest in the Magic Tower, the Akaradragon laughed sinisterly inside.

The Akaradragon actually knew the location of the Magic Tower.

He wasn’t trying to help Min-hyuk now.

‘The Magic Tower will kill you instead of me.’

Murder by proxy.

He intended to kill Min-hyuk using the traps of the Magic Tower without having to kill him himself.

The mechanical devices installed on each floor and the monsters that popped out everywhere were not the essence of the trap.

The trap of the Magic Tower is the Magic Tower itself.

Once you conquer the first floor, you’ll want to challenge the second floor,

And once you conquer the second floor, you’ll want to challenge the third floor.

Those who climb the Magic Tower like this will continue to climb the tower out of insatiable greed.

And in the end, they meet their death inside the Magic Tower.

“The entrance to the Magic Tower is hidden in the snowfields north of Sylphir.”

Minhyuk’s next destination was Sylphir.

His purpose there was to obtain various magical tools, but it would be even more beneficial if he could obtain the Noscow.

He vowed to definitely stop by the Magic Tower if he went to Sylphir.

Akara Yong inwardly sneered as he watched Minhyuk’s expression.

‘Fly into the Magic Tower like a moth into a flame and die!’

He had no idea.

That telling Minhyuk the location of the Magic Tower would bring about a terrible end for all dragons, including himself.
