Chapter 86 - Present (2)
n
n
nHaemosu and Gumiho left right away after eating. The Dragon King left to talk with Bihyung and Woojin came out to talk with Eunseo.
n
"Did he send you the books?
"
n
"Look.
"
nEunseo showed her room full of books.
n
"I have a lot of them.
"
nThere were a lot of books with different genres and types.
n
"If you need more books, ask Granny.
"
nThey had shells for communication, so Granny could call Beom to get any book she might need.
n
"So when can we leave this place?
"
nEunseo and the others were still in hiding. There was a limit to just reading books. Woojin thought for a second and answered,
"I'm doing the best I can to get you out faster.
"
n
"Okay.
"
n
"Do you want anything to eat?
"
n
"Hm… I want chocolate.
"
nWoojin laughed,
"Okay. I'll have them send over chocolate next time.
"
n
"Okay.
"
nWoojin got up and Bihyung came out with the Dragon King.
n
"Let's go. I've chosen gifts he will get us.
"
nThey said their goodbyes to Grany Mago and went down the mountain to get on a yacht. They boarded the Dragon King's large lavish yacht and Woojin took the tablet from the Dragon King.
n
"Those are my treasures. I will give you the one you like. Choose one.
"
nWoojin looked at it. They all looked like divine objects. Bihyung added,
"I chose this.
"
nIt was a fire starter stone but he wasn't sure what it was used for. Bihyung explained,
"It affects fire. My power will be multiplied.
"
nBihyung was strong already, but if he got his hands on a divine object that fit his affinity, then that was great. Woojin also scanned the items and while the yacht sailed through the sea, he found what he wanted.
n
"Can I take these two?
"
n
"Hmm.
"
nThe Dragon King caressed his long beard and answered,
"You want the Phoenix Feather Shoes and the Water of Life?
"
n
"Yes.
"
nThe phoenix was a spiritual being that was considered more holy in the southern region. The feather shoes were created by using that phoenix. Woojin did not know what it might do, but it seemed like it was good enough to be called a divine object. The Dragon King thought for a moment and nodded.
n
"That will do.
"
nThe Water of Life was like a healing potion. It was going to save the person from almost everything except death. The Dragon King flicked his finger and a man came in.
n
"Go and get this.
"
nThe man nodded and moved out of the yacht to dive down. Woojin asked,
"Where is he going?
"
n
"The treasure chest of the Dragon Palace.
"
n
"Does the Dragon Palace really exist?
"
n
"It's a secret.
"
nThe Dragon King then took out some liquor and spoke to Bihyung.
n
"You should have a drink. You've done a great job so far.
"
nBihyung mumbled as he grabbed the glass,
"You wouldn't have come out if it wasn't for Granny.
"
n
"Yes. Honestly, I didn't think there were any issues that required us to come up. But I am trying to help as Granny Mago asked.
"
n
"You are just giving us a few treasures. Is that really helping us?
"
n
"A few treasures? You know those treasures have values that cannot be paid with money.
"
nBihyung drank without answering and reached out for another. The Dragon King poured it into his glass.
n
"From what Granny said, the chaos this time is nothing. She told me she can't read the skies.
"
n
"Yeah.
"
n
"The burden must be weighing heavily on you then.
"
n
"Then give us more.
"
n
"No, that's not possible.
"
nBihyung emptied the glass again and the Dragon King poured another glass. That's when someone jumped up from the water. It was the man who had gone down. He took out objects to set them down on the table and left.
n
"This is yours.
"
nBihyung received the stone and tapped it. Two Dokkebi Fireballs appeared around him.
n
"Hmm. It really does give me twice the number of fires.
"
n
"That alone will be your greatest help.
"
nBihyung smiled. This was a good boost to his power. Woojin then looked down at the shoes. The feather shoes had a fierce pattern. He couldn't wear it anywhere due to its flashy design.
n
"Can I change the shape?
"
n
"You want others to not look at it?
"
n
"Yeah.
"
n
"Then… do you have any design in mind?
"
nWoojin thought for a second and took out his phone to show the design of the Nike Air Jordan X. The Dragon King laughed and touched the Feather Shoes. Spiritual power came out of his hand and changed the shape of the shoes into the shape that Woojin had requested. Then he took the shoes and put them on. He was originally wearing the shoes that hid his presence, but he now had different shoes.
n
"How can I use this?
"
n
"If you put spiritual power in, you can walk on air.
"
n
"Over air?
"
n
"Check it.
"
nWooin then jumped out toward the sea. He had the cloak with him, so he could fly if it became dangerous. He sent spiritual power into the shoes and stepped in the air. He then felt as if he was lifted up. He then stomped on it strongly and saw the shockwave radiating out from it. The shoes could be a weapon as well.
nWoojin smiled as he returned to the yacht. He didn't melt Tsukuyomi's spiritual stone yet, but if he could, he would not suffer from the lack of spiritual power. If the hunter equipment got an upgrade, he was going to be really powerful.
nWoojin also received the Water of Life.
n
"Thank you for all these gifts.
"
n
"I am glad if they can help you.
"
n
"It's more than enough.
"
nWoojin smiled and BIhyung asked,
"Can you take us to Busan?
"
n
"Of course.
"
nThe yacht then made its way to Busan and Bihyung and Woojin drank. When they got to the port, the sun was going down already. They bid farewell to the Dragon King and Woojin commented as he saw yacht disappearing,
"We've got good stuff.
"
n
"It's not bad. It's amazing how Granny Mago can even call him up.
"
nWoojin glanced at Bihyung. He was a representative of Korea but he wasn't strongest. All the Avatars that had gathered at Granny Mago's house were all powerful Avatars.
n
"We should've asked for more.
"
n
"Hmm.
"
n
"Anyway, it's better that they just stay that way. I would not want Dragon Kings to come up and run rampant. Ugh.
"
n
"Dragon Kings?
"
n
"The Southern King was here as a representative. That's why I wanted to get more divine objects from him but he didn't give us much.
"
nWoojin smiled,
"So, are you going to meet Alfonso?
"
n
"Yeah. And talk about Doctor Ahn.
"
nThey moved toward the helicopter by car and continued their journey.
n
"Take me with you when you go.
"
n
"To the United States? What for?
"
n
"I need to meet someone.
"
nBihyung narrowed his eyes,
"Who? I might be able to help.
"
n
"Smith.
"
nBihyung thought for a second and asked,
"You mean the CEO and lead researcher of Black Smith Industry?
"
n
"Yeah.
"
n
"You know he's harder to meet than Alfonso, right?
"
n
"Yeah, but it's possible.
"
nBihyung crossed his arms and mumbled,
"What do you want from him?
"
n
"I'll give him an idea and get his technologies in return.
"
n
"Will he need your idea?
"
n
"I saw the future remember? I'll give him an idea and sign a deal with him to start the mass production.
"
n
"Why don't you make it your own?
"
n
"I'm not that smart.
"
nWoojin only knew how to use the weapons. He did not know how to make them. Thus, he needed to get help from Smith who was a genius that could make anything based off a description.
n
"I'll make an appointment. You do the talking.
"
n
"Of course.
"
