Chapter 79

“…”
“…”
“…”
The forge fell silent as the screaming continued.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The binge drinking was still going on, and the smiths glanced at each other and then at Nerfai, their leader.
“…”
But Nerfai, too, could only stare blankly at the source of the binge drinking and screaming and say nothing. This is the imperial palace, he thought. Such sounds could not and should not be heard in the palace.
“Get to work!”
Suddenly, Nerfai awoke to find the smiths staring at him, and he cried out. At Nerpai’s urging, the smiths returned to work. Ming Hu approached Nerpai as the smiths resumed their work.
“I’ve made everything you asked me to make.”
Sigh
With that, Ming Hu placed his sword, armor, and shield on the table. Nerfai looked at the armor on the table, then at Ming Hu, then at the armor, then at the armor again, then approached the table with a slightly puzzled expression on his face, then picked up the sword.
Siaak
A faint glow emanated from Nerfai’s hand, permeating the sword. Unbeknownst to Ming Hu, Nerfai had a special ability to determine when a weapon was made and how powerful it was.
“Well…”
Nerfai was silent for a moment, then looked at Ming Hu with an expression of disbelief, and then Nerfai opened his mouth to speak.
“I don’t need to see anything else…”
Kaaaah!
Just then, a loud, clear boom echoed through the forge, unlike anything he’d ever heard before.
“…”
“…”
Once again, silence settled over the forge.
“What’s going on?
Something had definitely happened. Ming Hu sneaked a glance at Nerfai. Nerfai’s face was curious, too.
“I’ll be right there.”
Ming Hu said to Nerpai. Then Nerpai looked at Ming Hu with a slightly surprised expression.
It’s a dangerous place, with binge drinking and screaming. I wondered what was going on, but Nerfai shook his head. In response to Nerpai’s shaking head, Minghu said.
“I’ll take a peek from afar to see what’s going on.”
“…”
Nerfai thought for a moment at Ming Hu’s words. But then he nodded and said, “Yes.
“Take a peek from a distance. But if you think you’re in danger, run right this way.”
“I see.”
Ming Hu immediately walked out of the forge.
Bang! Bang!
-Yuck…
-kill…
As I stepped outside, I could hear the banging and screaming more clearly, but there was more: black smoke billowing from the presumed source of the banging and screaming.
“What’s really going on?
Ming Hu thought as he walked at a brisk pace toward the source of the black smoke. It was incomprehensible that this had happened in the imperial palace.
Moving at a brisk pace, Ming Hu soon reached the neighborhood, where he began to move slowly, looking around.
“…!
Ming Hu soon arrived at a place of black smoke, where he could see someone standing steadfastly. His face was hidden by a pressed black robe, and around him were black orbs that looked dangerous.
Sigh
Just then, Black Robe raised his hand and pointed to the building in front of him, and the black orbs floating around him flew toward it in unison.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The black orbs exploded in a massive explosion upon contact with the building, and Ming Hu realized the true nature of the binge.
“Cough cough.”
Black Robe grimaced as he looked at the rubble of the collapsed building.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh
Black orbs appeared again around the black robes, but they weren’t the only ones.
Squeak squeak squeak
Three wizards appeared around the black robes.
“Imperial Palace Wizard?
The three mages that appeared were wearing robes reserved for imperial mages. They were clearly imperial mages.
‘It’ll be cleaned up in no time.
With three imperial mages showing up, Ming Hu thought that the Black Robe would soon be captured and the situation would be sorted out.
“Karot, you crazy man!”
“How dare you think you know what you’re doing!”
“You’re dying to die!”
The palace mages called out to Karot, the Black Robe Ani.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Karot said nothing to the three wizards, merely smirked wickedly and raised his arms.
Yikes!
Raising his arms, a black shield appeared and enveloped Karot’s body, and at the same time, the black orbs floating around him began to vibrate.
“Shield!”
“Shield!”
“Shield!”
The three mages struck their shields in unison, and the vibrating black orb soon exploded with a tremendous boom.
Kaaaaaah!
“…”
Ming Hu was unable to speak. It wasn’t because he was drinking too much. The explosion of the black orb had affected Ming Hu, who was far away.
[Muran’s cotton pants were destroyed when they reached their endurance].
[The rose vest was destroyed because it ran out of durability].
[The black jacket was destroyed because it ran out of durability].
[The red shirt made by Marynew was destroyed when it reached its endurance].
[The bowler hat of dignity has been destroyed by its endurance].
[The black leather gloves were destroyed when they reached the end of their durability].
[The soft shoes have been destroyed by the endurance].
The problem was that the explosion destroyed all the clothes he was wearing.
“…”
Ming Hu stared at the message blankly. It cost 4200 gold to buy 7 pieces. After a quick glance, 4200 gold was gone.
Sigh
Ming Hu stared at Karot, who had wordlessly exploded.
“…Ugh.”
The three wizards who had struck the shield were in terrible shape. The shields that protected them were no longer intact, and their robes were charred and riddled with holes. I thought it would be a quick cleanup, but it wasn’t.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Karot, on the other hand, who was at the center of the explosion, seemed unharmed by it. Ming Hu looked at him and muttered quietly to himself.
“Son of a bitch.”
Dada Dada Dada
Ming Hu muttered something and began to run toward Karot at a fast pace.
Hmmm
Laughing sinisterly, Karot was startled to see Ming Hu running toward him, and soon reached out for him.
Sung Sung Sung
Black orbs were instantly created and began to fly toward Ming Hu. Ming Hu gritted his teeth as he watched the black orbs fly toward him. There were no more costumes to be destroyed.
Poof!
The black orb exploded as it touched Ming Hu. Ming Hu quickly checked his health.
“Three thousand.
It was only three thousand. Ming Hu turned his attention away from the black orb and ran toward Karot. The distance between Ming Hu and Karot began to decrease at a rapid pace.
Yikes!
Karot spread his arms wide. A black shield then appeared and enveloped Karot’s body. Ming Hu, who was soon in front of the shield, threw a punch at it.
Bam!
Ming Hu’s fist shattered the shield in an instant. The shield shattered in one fell swoop, and Karot looked surprised, then quickly exclaimed, “It’s a shame.
“Blink!”
Yikes!
Ming Hu quickly looked around as Karot disappeared.
“To the left!”
He heard the wizard’s voice and quickly looked to his left. There, about ten meters away, was Karot.
“Moving Strike!”
Ming Hu moved in front of Karot and punched him in the stomach.
Puck!
“Billion.”
Karot was struck by Ming Hu’s fist and slowly began to collapse. Ming Hu muttered quietly to himself as he watched the falling Karotte.
“Give me the expensive one. You have to.”
whisk
[You have slain Karot the Warlock].
[Gain 5,000 prestige].
As Karot fell, Ming Hu quickly looked around Karot’s corpse. No dropped items were visible. Ming Hu quickly rummaged through Karot’s body.
“Is this guy a douchebag?
But the dropped item was still invisible. Ming Hu furrowed his brow. That was the moment.
“Do you mind if I ask where you’re from?”
The wizard recovered himself and approached Ming Hu. Ming Hu turned around and looked at the wizard.
“After …..
He sighed to himself. If it weren’t for them, his clothes would never have been destroyed.
“I belong to a blacksmith shop.”
“What?”
“I’m a blacksmith at the forge.”
Ming Hu replied and began to walk toward the forge. Shaking his head, the mage stared after him.
