A Reincarnated Person With a Sub-Dimension

Episode 31

The middle-aged man who saw the magic stone twitched his eyebrows and crossed his arms.

At the same time, Uncle Kit threw his head forward and said with a surprised face.

“This… can’t it be a high-level magic stone? No. You have to become a master to hunt high-level monsters. Ian. Maybe or not?”

“You’re right, uncle.”

“Is it really a high-level magic stone? Did I come here to trade a high-level magic stone? Heh heh.”

Uncle Kit laughed incredulously.

Then the middle-aged man reached out and grabbed the magic stone.

“The prize is right. But the size is a bit small. The remaining mana is almost gone.”

Checking the magic stone’s mana showed that the middle-aged man was a mana user.

Judging from the outfit, it was assumed that he might be a wizard.

The middle-aged man stared at me while holding the magic stone.

“By the way, they say they’re mercenaries from Dongpae to receive reports. Where did you get this from?”

I explained how I got the magic stone.

“Hmm. It’s probably an old queen bee kicked out of the brood. It’s very rare, but this happens when a new queen bee appears. Judging from the state of the magic stone, I think I met one who was on the verge of death, but I was lucky.”

The middle-aged man, who turned his gaze back to the magic stone, continued talking after a while.

“First of all, we’ll set 250 gold coins as the lowest bid. If you want, you can buy it from the Mercenary Agency right now. What should we do?”

“Two hundred and fifty?”

The price the middle-aged man said was quite different from what I thought.

“I’ll put it up for auction. But I know that the basic price for high-end magic stones is about 500 gold coins, but the amount is less than I thought.”

The middle-aged man made a troubled face at my question.

He said while holding up the magic stone.

“The capacity of this magic stone is about half smaller than the standard value of a normal high-level magic stone. It must be because the dying queen bee could not recover mana and lived by consuming the magic stone itself. Because of the constancy of the mana stone, it will be charged over time, but once it has decreased, the magic stone will be charged. of capacity is irreversible. The price is calculated based on the reduced capacity. Need more explanation?”

“Ah. I see.”

For some reason, it was said that it was smaller than the magic stone I saw during the mercenary review, so there was a reason.

I nodded as if I understood.

“If the monster hadn’t been so weak that it needed to consume magic stones, you would have been killed by it.

Serena, who had been waiting outside the door, came in at the middle-aged man’s call.

“It has been confirmed as a high-level magic stone, so issue a certificate and put it up for auction. The lowest bid is two hundred and fifty.”

“I understand. Mr. Kennel.”

The middle-aged man who gave Serena instructions stood up.

“Ah. And if I give you one piece of advice, you’d better be careful when you go out on expeditions in the future. The fact that the queen has changed means that a group of wasps may move south to Erita at any moment. They’ve been quiet for a while, but they’re going to be noisy again.”

The middle-aged man gave me some advice and left with a small talk to himself.

Serena looked at the magic stone on the table and said with a surprised face.

“Oh my. Mr. Ian, how did you get the advanced magic stones? I’ve been working at the Mercenary Agency for over three years, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a mercenary with the same rank bring advanced magic stones.”

“Somehow, I got lucky. But who is that person? He seems a little rude.”

“Ah. That’s Mr. Kennel Pierce, and he’s a sixth-level wizard. Kenel-sama is in charge of everything related to the auction, so if there’s an item to be put up for auction later, we’ll meet again. And.”

Serena looked at her for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and whispered with a smile.

“Ian knows how wizards are, right? Even if you’re a little upset, Ian understands. Then I’ll fill out the certificate for you, so wait a moment.”

After a while, Serena came with two sheets of parchment.

After asking a few questions, Serena began writing on the parchment.

Looking at the parchment, I was recording the auction number, auction items, and the magic stone stakes between Talia and I.

After recording, I wrote down the business number of Uncle Kit, the trading broker, and stamped it.

Serena filled out another piece of parchment in the same way and handed it to me.

“It’s done. If you bring this certificate after the auction is over, you’ll be able to collect the proceeds right away without complicated procedures.”

“When can I get the money?”

“Auctions are held in the middle of each month. You can pick up the items two days after the auction ends, but the auction ended this month a few days ago. You can easily think of it as a month later.”

“Thank you, Serena. I’ll treat you to a meal later.”

“Oh, really? I like it.”

After greeting Serena, we left the Mercenary Office.

“We’ll go take a rest now. You’ve worked hard too.”

“I’ve done something. Anyway, thank you very much. I thought the auction brokerage could last until next year, but thanks to you, I made a windfall. And the first brokerage was a high-level magic stone. Thank you.”

Unlike by-product transactions, which require everything from product management to tax treatment, auctions receive a certain fee just by registering as a broker.

“Fortunately, there is plenty of time left until the auction, so I’ll try my best to promote it and get a good price.”

Due to the nature of the auction, the more competitors there are, the higher the winning bid.

The main task of an auction broker was to promote the product.

“Yes. Please take care of me. Then see you next time.”

Thalia and I went straight to the inn.

We chatted in a friendly atmosphere throughout the trip.

There was almost a month left to receive the auction price, but he was already rich in heart.

As soon as I arrived at the inn, I ordered bath water from the staff.

I took off my heavy equipment and soaked in a large bathtub.

“uh…”

When I entered the hot water, my body melted.

I closed my eyes and made plans for the future.

‘If I go up to the auction, I’ll get at least three hundred gold coins, right?’

For 300 gold coins, even after deducting the tax, about 150 gold coins fall to my share.

With the money he has earned so far, he can live a comfortable life even after settling in Ekiever with his brothers.

Now, the purpose of coming to Erita has been accomplished.

As much as I could afford, I decided to enjoy a relationship or a trip that I hadn’t been able to in the past.

‘I heard that the cities along the Illinois River are so cool. Shall I ask Eva to go play?’

Sitting in a warm bathtub, I thought I wanted to take a deep breath.

I’ve been awake the whole time since I’ve dealt with Wilmot’s party.

As the number of people in the group had decreased, he had refrained from using a pocket watch to prepare for danger, so he felt tired after a long time.

‘I should drink spring water before going to bed.’

From noble mtl dot com

It’s been 3 days since I entered the sub-dimension.

When I summoned the pocket watch and pressed the crown, my field of vision changed in an instant and I was transported to a sub-dimension.

That moment,

“…”

I was speechless for a moment in embarrassment and anger.

As soon as I entered the sub-dimension, memories that had been hidden in my head came to mind.

Nick changed the very purpose of my life with an unknown ability.

Just a little while ago, my mind was full of thoughts of settling down in Ekiever with my brothers and living happily.

It is true that I wish for the well-being of the hyungs, but ultimately it is also for my free life.

However, with one gesture of his hand, Nick completely erased the goal of life that he had constantly reflected on from his previous life.

Nick said it was impossible for me to become a seeker.

That’s why he must have believed that he was right in manipulating my memories.

“Whatever the intention, this is not the case.”

What Nick did to me was like spaying and neutering my pet.

But I am not a pet.

It’s true that I’m afraid of death, but that’s because I don’t want to die in vain without achieving my goal.

Nick’s action was like taking it off a tiger that had to live in the wild.

No matter how well-intentioned an act, there is a degree.

Unwanted good will equals violence.

Even if I give up on the path of a seeker, it must be because of my choice.

I didn’t want to live a life of being controlled by someone else.

‘If we meet again someday, I’ll make you regret what you did to me.’

Unless I stand on an equal footing with Nick, it is impossible to repay the humiliation I suffered.

One more reason to be strong.

‘Remodel a person’s mind with one gesture. Are all seekers capable of doing this? Besides, when I saw Wilmot’s head smashed, I just overlooked it.’

It is not possible for me to ignore something even though I feel something strange.

This was not a matter of erasing memories, but a level of changing perception.

I wondered where Nick would be among the investigators.

If all investigators are like Nick, ordinary people will be like puppets in front of them.

I was irritated and angry at the thought that if it wasn’t for the pocket watch, I would have lost my true self.

I gulped down spring water to get rid of my thoughts.

As the energy of the refreshing spring water spread throughout his body, his tantrum subsided little by little.

Immediately after sitting down, he calmed down and used mana simbeop.

It’s a sub-dimension that came in 3 days.

It was enough to think about it later.

Five days have passed since I returned to Erita.

I stayed in the inn and practiced mana simbeop without rest.

‘Is this all this time?’

Perhaps because of the battle with Wilmot’s party, his training progressed.

There is a clear difference between having the mindset of being able to kill someone and doing it yourself.

Although he didn’t end his own life, he probably executed a more severe punishment than that.

It felt like my soul grew one more time through this round trip.

‘I can’t give up on Won-haeng even if it’s just to get to the proficiency level.’

Every time I went to Wonhaeng, I got results from my training.

At this rate, I had a hunch that sooner or later we would be able to break through the Great Boundary.

It was a mercenary job that started to make money in the first place, but now it is impossible to quit for training.

After taking a bath, I went out

“Sister. It’s been a while.”

“Yeah! It’s been a while. What’s good? Your face is bright?”

“Yes. Well, this and that happened. Let’s talk about the details while eating. I’ll live today.”

In the meantime, I met several times and my friendship with sister Eva deepened considerably.

That’s how easy it was to talk to each other.

“It’s black again.”

“This time it really happened.”

“All-If you say that, it seems like something really good has happened. Okay, then, shall we get some delicious rice that my sister bought for me?”

Sister Eva casually crossed her arms and looked up at me.

“Just follow me.”

We ate dinner at a fine dining restaurant that we had reserved.

During the meal I spoke of Wilmot’s betrayal.

Upon hearing the story, Sister Eva was furious with the momentum to kill someone who had already died.

I calmed down sister Eva and told her about the recent achievement of the mana psychic method.

Although he didn’t know the actual military power, he had a lot to learn from his sister in terms of the achievement of the mental law.

Sister Eva was delighted with my achievements and gave me various advice.

After eating, we headed to a fancy bar.

I don’t mind going to a noisy and smelly place like a dragon’s goblet, but I can’t go to a place like that with Eva.

“Here, sister. They say the alcohol the owner makes is so delicious.”

“Really? Thanks to my younger brother, I came to a good place. It’s worthwhile to raise him well.”

The time when we were about to enter the bar with a good laugh.

The door to the bar opened, revealing an unwanted guest.

“Oh, who is this? It’s been a while. Miss Eva.”

“Ha. You bastard.”

“A rat. You talk harshly.”

The identity of the uninvited guest is Thomas.

At Thomas’ greeting, Sister Eva frowned and spat out the words harshly.

“Because I’m out of luck. Why don’t you stop drinking when you’re done drinking?”

“hehehe. I’m sorry about this. I was just about to drink as soon as someone came because there was someone waiting. Ah! You’re just over there. Are you here, Captain. I’ve reserved a seat for you.”

Thomas bent over behind us.

“”Are you here, Captain?””

Then, the thugs behind Thomas shouted loudly and greeted him.

‘leader?’

I turned my head and looked behind me.

‘what? Why are you so handsome?’

A red-haired man with wild and decadent beauty was walking there.

He was one of the most handsome and handsome men I’ve ever seen in my past and present life.
