Regressor's Instruction Manual
Episode 892, Vacation (10)
"This crazy son of a bitch!"
"Why?"
"That crazy bastard... Jegiral! Jegiral!!"
["Jegiral" is a Korean slang term that can be used as an exclamation of frustration or anger. It doesn't have a direct English translation, but it's often used as a substitute for profanity.]
This General seems very excited about something.
"Sad things keep happening because the General is not cooperating"...
Look at his trembling eyes. He seems to be very angry. He even looks like he has lost some of his sanity.
"Why are you so angry like that? I think the reputation of the public on the topic of the black market is already determined. Anyway, this General still clings to his honor."
"..."
"Well, I guess it's something to worry about. Some people say they are lusting after the General. The General is buying slaves without even returning to the Republic. It's not even wrong to say that he is just throwing himself into his desires. It's not like he's a dog in heat..."
"When did I…"
"Don't you know that it's not important, sir? The citizens of the Republic would be thrilled to know. Wouldn't they?"
"Here's what I want to say to you. If the so-called Honorary Cardinal the god of sacrifice and resurrection, who is known as a man, is heard to be playing around in such a vulgar place after changing their gender, they'll be delighted."
"Don't think about fighting me."
Lindel Joker Lee Ki-yeon never stops.
"You have something to lose too. You son of a bitch."
"It doesn't matter. I don't think you'll believe me...If you want to get involved with that vulgar Honorary Cardinal, go ahead. And when did I say I wanted to fight? Let's each take a step back and try to solve the problem. You know my style. Let's end on good terms. I'm not asking for anything amazing, just to hang out for a bit. People's hearts are narrow. Even if we weren't on good terms before, it's all in the past, right?"
That's right. Honestly, we have a bit of a bad history. But after that, it's all memories. I did it to help you grow, the whipping for the hero of the shadows.
"This guy, I'll beat you to death…"
Like a newly started continent, don't we need to grow a bit too?
I sent a warm gaze to the guy who's stumbling around.
"....."
A going gaze should be a coming gaze, but the guy's gaze is quite cold.
'What's wrong? Is this bastard going to hit me?'
Try hitting me once. Hayan will come and hit you back.
I couldn't exactly say what was going through my head, but it felt like a multitude of thoughts were colliding in my mind.
I could only be grateful that the guy was being rational. If he had lost his mind, he probably would've hit me.
Just in case, let's act a little weak.
Kiyeon, who was pathetic and easily broken. Kiyeon, who was hiding in a burrow like a rabbit and trembling. Kiyeon, who was cornered. The moment he let out a deep sigh was then.
"Get rid of your disgusting behavior."
"Well...."
"I'll cooperate with you. Of course, it doesn't mean I'll cooperate with everything. And you also have to come up with something equivalent."
Perhaps he had entered the mode of "whatever happens, happens." He might have realized that he couldn't stop the huge flow that had already started. He probably thought that if he pushed too hard, his pride might be hurt and he might face more trouble, so he should finish the job quickly and go home to have a drink. It was like stepping on a pile of poop and speaking.
"Well, let's do that. Let's go around the market here first. I want to see what kind of stuff there is and also check out some potions. Oh, bring me some of the stuff outside."
"You...."
"Should I go?"
"I'll bring it."
"....."
"..."
"It's edible."
Even while hesitating and eating a meal, my mind seemed uneasy. I pushed the empty plate aside and started changing my clothes.
The clothes brought from the market were typical Chinese-style dresses. The only difference was that they were slightly flared at the sides, and throwing away the clothes that I had originally been wearing made me feel like I was actually dressed in these clothes. The dress was black with a gold design embroidered on it, and although I didn't know much about fashion, the material felt good. The seller probably took good care of it as well. Perhaps it was because of the influence of the Commander from that country, who brought it over as a Chinese dress. It had to look good, after all.
"I like it."
I expressed my satisfaction, but the guy looked at me with an expression that couldn't be interpreted. Maybe it was because he had been exposed to too much mainland culture, but he looked at me as if he were looking at a foreigner who likes kimchi.
He didn't say anything, but seemed to realize that he was ready to move on, and he started walking away without looking back. I had no choice but to follow him at a moderate distance.
Of course, I could feel the eyes on us. They were probably speculating about what had just happened inside. The gaze of the maids who manage the VIP room in the market was hot. We couldn't look too perfect. I had to act a little tired.
"Hey, do you know where I can find something to sell?" I asked.
"If you're looking for a place that sells drugs that aren't on the market, I know where to go. They're probably there."
"Potions that aren't on the market? I'm also curious, since I'm an alchemist by profession."
"They're probably things you already know. They're potions with fatal side effects, like warrior's elixirs or curse potions. I heard that many people use them these days... If you're looking for a potion that makes you forget the fear of battle, it might sell well. Since it's all about the background. We were already researching something similar, but the unit cost wasn't coming out right. It's not a good idea to keep relying on hunting potions, and they probably won't sell to adventurers who can't afford the adventurer lifestyle."
"Like in Colorado?"
"Yes. I did mention that something was strange. Have you ever been to Colorado?"
"..."
"Most of the city people there are potion addicts. It seemed like most people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder were like that... It's only circulating in Colorado for now, but maybe later it will be distributed nationwide, and then to the republic. "
"That's unlikely to happen."
"It's not impossible. These criminals are very organized. There are many things involved than I thought. We need to investigate the Magic Tower [This translation is probably wrong, it just keeps translating into "Horse" and since Jung Hayan was mentioned earlier, I thought that I t should be magic tower.] and maybe there will be a few of them among the key officials in the republic or the religious state. Maybe I've been looking at the forest for too long. Have you not read the emails I sent?"
"Do you need an answer?"
"I'm busy these days working on a big picture. As a god who oversees the continent, I'm focusing on various tasks. Are you interested?"
"I'm not interested."
"We are training children because we lack manpower, but we want talented people who can immediately join our forces. From climate and laws of the continent to dungeon updates, monster ecology and population control, quests and events...there are too many things to list one by one. It will probably be helpful to the military as well. If you let me handle it a little, we can quickly obtain the qualifications. It's a win-win situation. My noona and I are doing our best, but we're a little overwhelmed with work..."
"It hasn't been a few minutes since I decided to cut all ties with you. You son of a bitch."
"But to be honest, you're probably interested."
"...."
'...This guy is also a control freak.'
I would be so anxious to know that something is happening in a place where there is no one. I'll pretend like nothing happened, but I'll definitely check my email when I get back. It's probably best to delete any messages that are filled with insults or sent as a joke.
Even as I chatted aimlessly and walked within Jincheong's magic barrier, my gaze continued to be drawn to her surroundings.
Inside the black market, there were several people with laughing or hateful faces looking at Jincheong, and it was easy to spot those who were trying to approach her.
"Excuse me, General. I am the headler of the Union. Could we talk for a moment..."
"I heard you got good slaves."
"If it's okay with you, I'd like to invite you to our mansion someday. If you're interested in sharing my collection..."
Some people who want to share the same hobby as him may want to say that they are different from the rest with no holds barred, but how many people would believe them?
He also seemed to know the fact, but he just continued walking, ignoring everything.
When I was in the auction house, I knew it was big, but it was beyond my imagination when I came out. There were many things to enjoy, not only restaurants but also activities like gladiator games, slave markets, and monster trade markets. There were so many things to see that my eyes couldn't rest.
I was particularly interested in the black market, and there was even an illegal casino.
"You seem to go to many places, Commander. You must love games. You often say, 'If you don't have chips, bet your life. If you don't want to lose it, bet your wrist instead.'"
"...…..."
"Did you play a game with me for the first time, Commander?"
"….."
"It seems like you did."
"You talk too much."
"Oh, that looks like a potion trading post over there."
It was beautifully displayed, to the point that it didn't seem like a black market. I opened my mind's eye and quietly looked around. In the meantime, a conversation between a staff member who had come to greet them, and the guy caught my eye.
"I want to meet an alchemist who makes potions that are sold in Colorado. If you have the product, please bring it to me…."
'He's doing a good job.'
But right after I confirmed it with his mind's eye,
"Hmm...."
I thought that it might be an alchemical furnace for the potion of fantasy. I had obtained a lot of hints from the potion that used to be circulated in Sylia.
I tapped my thigh and looked at him. The mask-wearer slowly approached and spoke again.
"Do you have any information on alchemists? Did you find what you were looking for?"
"Yes."
"What's the next plan?"
"What plan? I found the sample, so I'll just throw it away. What else."
"...…"
"…."
"Did you become more righteous in the meantime? I thought you didn't care about the black market."
"What's the point of pretending not to know? That's impossible."
At the same time, a loud shout came from outside.
"Warp gate…."
"What the hell? The warp gate is blocked!"
"I'm sorry, everyone. There's a problem with the warp gate. It will be normalized soon…."
Great.
"Were you trying to bury the black market?."
"..."
"I have to go back now... What the hell…."
"Don't push me. Don't push me. Really!"
"The monsters are going crazy! Security! Security!"
"AAAAAHHH..."
The tails rise again. The hero of the shadow realizes what's going on was quietly staring at my direction, he silently muttered.
"Crazy bastard."
