Chapter 12 (1/2)
”Will it really remain as a series of potions? It kind of looked like our honoured genius alche alone without a workshop… Ah, but how could heat things like this, you can really feel that geniuses do exist in this world for real”
Right now, they were taking a short break froe of phone calls When the eh and leered at him
”…Uh- What will I do, when even you start referring hienius? That’s just an euy to hts Orders sweat extra hard for a bit So, what d’ya enius, a greatest, a maestro, a virtuoso - none of those words should mix up with our profession, and neither should we try to use the froht now, even the Alche if they could meet him…” (TL: a Cafe is not a physical coffee shop but an internet foru terreat sales result would lead to fat bonuses for everyone, the h spirit, but he calht down the azes He had stepped onto a potential land htly biting her lower lip with the corner of his eyes, the employee’s forehead broke out in drops of sweat
”Hey, you Are you still looking at those? Didn’t I repeatedly tell you not to waste your tiossip sites? Because that’s where the fcked up bastards hiding behind the veil of anonymity spread around vile, baseless ruised in earnest as he knew the Manager deeply hated excuses and hasty explanations
”Fuu… No need to apologise, instead, just go and do your job I’ll hts are or what the plans of his future happen to be”
”Yes!”
The ens of people around her were gone for good, Hazeline grabbed herco her subordinate just now, her de
She waited for a while, but in the end, all she got was ”The person you dialled is busy…”
”He said he’s got only a ho it up?”
Hazeline cocked an eyebrow in dissatisfaction She’s been calling the nuet a single answer
– Ppiiii… Please leave a e after the tone
”hello… Sir Alche I’m the only person who knows this nu you this ti if you’d like to have a work-related dinner with me some time…”
Thanks to Alchemy, his worries over money had been solved The reserve price for his potion per bottle was 450K US On top of that, he had already sold 2 through the sales commissions, one for over 620K, and the other for over 530K
Even after deducting the sales tax and the Alche well over 13 million US This was an a in his life However, he also couldn’t have io, either
The le, unattached house located the closest to Gangwon Province’s Monster field easily exceeded 13 million
At first, when he heard the a the explanations, he understood the reasoning, just a little
The house he looked at had a garden the size of 60 pyung, (nearly 200 square enerator, and had been ”insured” with a Knights Order for a ”prioritised protection” in case of Monsters’ appearance - and to top that all off, the whole building was reinforced withto withstand assaults fro about all these points, even Sae-Jin ended up thinking that 13 million was on the cheaper side
He returned to the cave, thinking that spending all that money at once seemed wasteful but he couldn’t chance it in an apartment complex with his condition as was, and also the issue with the ti locations further than this, so he decided to settle in that house as soon as the money came in from the completed sale of the potions
‘Well, that’s that, but I wonder when I’ll evolve again’
The worries and fears he had certainly lessened with the proed The core issue he had, ”Can I live on as a Human?” was still there
Now, he could maintain his Human Form for 100a human, after all…
‘The condition needed for the evolution of the Brown Wolf to the Grey was the Minie that said about 100 people became aware of his existence If the rest of the evolution was tied to this concept than that meant he had to deliberately expose his Grey Wolf Form to as many people as possible
”Fuu…”
However, that was easier said than done; most would try to hunt hirandly
But there wouldn’t be any changes if he stayed put like this He’d be able to find even a sliver of hope only when he startedhis body and hit the wall head on
‘Well, let’s avoid the Knights for now, and show up only in front of the Hunters’
”Can we do it?”
”No problem, no problem~ No need to worry so er body Other Hunters are just exaggerating the truth”
One was a Mid Tier, another a low Mid Tier, and lastly, another low Mid Tier This temporary party of three Hunters consisted of one woh spirits and took the lead but the following twodragged along by the wo down any Monster! Isn’t that what you guys have said? That’s e beca about being step siblings, and it didn’t make est a better alternative OG: 의남매 맺었잖아)
”Hey, that story is already 15 years old And back then, ere Knights, not Hunters” (TL: this line also greatly confused hts 15 years ago, which seem quite unlikely as you will see in the next chapter, or the woraph was actually supposed to be three Knights instead and he was pointing that out)
”Whatever, dude!! Why are you guys acting so down, anyways? If it’s a Wolf the size of a tiger, then the remains would fetch quite a nice price and if we find a mid rank Mana Stone in its heart… you knohat thatthe round coin gesture with her fingers but the dark shadows on the
There was a ruround of late The insidious ru the area, the ”Unique Grey Wolf”
The nuer-sized Grey Wolf had already surpassed high tens, and after earning its nickname ”Unique Grey Wolf”, the various stories related to this creature had upended the mood of the Hunters Cafe In fact, the ht send people to investigate it (TL: again, the Cafe here is not an actual shop, but an internet forum)
But quite unlike any other Hunters ould have prioritised their safety first, this wo a fuss
”I said, no problem, no problem at all~”
The unique Monster, or possibly a mutated one The teres induced by an inborn condition or acquiring so in an unnatural way until it becaer than all of its peers
The faers, the Manticores - a Monster with a Huon Turtles
These were top tier Monsters that even a party full of High Tier Knights would find difficult to hunt, and these creatures were usually found in the unreachable,unreachably high and rewon’s mountains where they would continue their lonely but battle-filled existences
But to think, there was a unique Monster roaround? This wo that… this was sihts tasked with cohable
But the two er They definitely saw its bright and fearsome eyes Not personally, of course, but online in the Hunters Cafe
Its a at the Hunters with the full eousness rather than stunned into fear, ery
”You also saw that, right?”
”I did, but so what? I’ you it’s not a unique Monster If it was one, then the Knights would have , then why the heck are there so many witnesses? They all would have been dead already”
What she said was true Unlike the regular, garden variety Monsters, those labelled as Unique were capable of unleashi+ng special attacks based around natures If that signature was felt, then the resident Knights would be swar the place high and low
Plus, the testimonies of the eyewitnesses were a bit weird as well
They said that the huge Wolf just appeared like a ghost and blocked their paths until the Hunters chose to retreat They did add that they got scared of its intense eyes and its size, and were too busy running aith tails between their legs, but it meant that this creature didn’t coer wolf And we know that all bigger Monsters have Mana Stones in their hearts Sure, it should be as strong as it looks, but… hell, as a Mid Tier Hunter, I didn’t bring this bad boy just for a show!!”
She pulled out a handgun froun designed to chamber and fire rounds of arainst the beast type Monsters
”Eh? Where did you get that from?”
”This Mid Tier ranked lady is on another diht it fro with various other parties With this bad boy, as soon as we find this Wolf, it’s as good as a dead meat”
