Chapter 105

“Delay!”
It was Jie who greeted him with a wide smile. Ming Hu opened his mouth to ask how Jie Jie, who was said to be a traveler, could be here.
“How do you get here…?”
In response to Myung-hoo’s question, Ji-yeon opened her mouth to speak.
“I’ve been traveling and wanted to see some cities.”
Of course, that wasn’t true; Delay hadn’t come to see the city. It had another purpose.
“Wow, this is amazing to see.”
“Yeah, where were you going?”
Ming Hu smiled at Delay’s question.
“Meh, I was going to go to the forge to earn some merit.”
“Oh, right, let’s start by adding friends!”
Delay sends Ming Hu a friend request, which Ming Hu naturally accepts.
-Delay: That’s great!
-To Delay: That’s great!
Seeing that the whispering was working, Delay smiled and said.
“Well, bye-bye, I’ll be there!”
“Yeah! See you later!”
After parting ways with Delay, Ming Hu began to walk back to the forge, and when he passed the entrance and arrived in front of the forge, he saw someone coming out of the forge.
“What? My lord.”
“Huh? Mr. Revill.”
It was Revil who emerged from the forge. When Revil spotted Ming Hu, he walked straight up to him and pulled a scroll from his bosom.
“…Quest?
The scroll reeked of quest. Revil said, handing the scroll over.
“Here’s the job. But…”
As Ming Hu took the scroll, a speechless Revil opened his mouth to say something, then closed it, bowing his head slightly in greeting before walking back past Ming Hu.
“What is it?”
What was he trying to say? Ming Hu shook his head and scrolled on.
<The Wizard Who Stole the Forbidden Book
After receiving information that the wizard Karot, who had stolen the Scrolls, was hiding in the lush greenery, Alkan Helioca decided to organize a raid to kill him. Alkan Helioca organized a raiding party of Red Drake Knights and Mages, and set off for the Lush Green. Go to the Lush Green and kill Karoth before they do, and bring back proof!
[Karot's corpse: 1 of 1].
Difficulty Level: A
Quest Reward: 3 million Helioca Merit + ??? (You will receive additional Merit.)
"…?"
Ming Hu couldn't help but shake his head at the quest.
"I already killed it, did it regenerate again?"
You have already killed Karot. Ming Hu opened his inventory. In one corner of his inventory, he could see the corpse of the elusive Karotte. You already had the proof you needed to complete the quest: Karot's corpse.
"What is…"
Ming Hu muttered something like that and tore up the scroll.
[You have accepted the quest].
After accepting the quest, Ming Hu immediately began walking to the Emperor's office to complete it.
Jumbled
As he walked to the emperor's office, Ming Hu could see quite a few nobles, and his brow furrowed.
'Should I buy clothes…'
He didn't like the way the nobles looked at him. Perhaps it was because of his attire. Minghu decided to go to the costume shop in front of the imperial palace later and walked in silence.
Sigh
Arriving at the building that housed the Emperor's office, Ming Hu was greeted by soldiers at the entrance and led inside. After passing through the hallway, Ming Hu arrived in front of the office and found Revill just emerging from the office.
"Hello. Mr. Revill."
"What? My lord?"
Looking at Ming Hu, Revil gave him a puzzled look, a look that said, "Why are you here? Revil opened his mouth to speak.
"What are you doing here…?"
Revil said, looking at Ming Hu.
"I'm just here to debrief you after work."
"What?"
Revil questioned Ming Hu's answer. Thinking that Revil didn't understand, Ming Hu spoke bluntly.
"You have killed Karot."
"…"
Revil was speechless at Minghu's words. Ming Hu saw the look on Reville's face and continued.
"Didn't the Emperor once tell you to kill the Red Kobolds?"
"Yes."
"That's when I killed Karot."
"Oh."
At Ming Hu's words, Revil looked understanding. But then he looked surprised and opened his mouth to speak.
"By yourself?"
"Yes."
"…"
Revill was once again left speechless by Myung-Hoo's answer.
'I thought you said you were supposed to be in circle 8 by now…'
He would, according to Master Crime, have entered the Eighth Circle. Entering the eighth circle is not the same as mastering the seventh circle. Even if he had just entered, he would be able to take on three Circle 7 masters in Circle 8.
"But you caught it on your own?
Of course, Karot wasn't a normal Eighth Circle mage, but Revil, who didn't know that, looked at Ming Hu with a look of admiration, but it wasn't just admiration, it was also a mixture of mixed feelings.
"What the hell is this…
What is it? I couldn't believe that a simple blacksmith had fought and defeated a wizard in the eighth circle.
"I…"
When Revil didn't say anything, Ming Hu spoke up.
"May I come in to debrief you?"
"…Ah! Yes."
At Ming Hu's words, Revil sobered up, turned around, and opened his mouth to speak.
"Your Imperial Majesty, this is Revill."
"Huh? Huh. Come in."
Alkan's voice came from the office, sounding slightly flustered by Revil's words. Revil opened the door as Alkan spoke.
Profit
"Let's go."
At Revil's words, Ming Hu went into his office. As Ming Hu entered, Revill followed and closed the door behind him.
"Hmm?"
Alkan shook his head as Ming Hu entered. At Alkan's giggle, Revil quickly opened his mouth to speak.
"It's… I'm here to debrief you."
At Revil's words, Alkan gave him a look like he didn't know what that meant.
"You said you just delivered it."
"Yes, you're right that I just gave it to you, but it's…"
Revill trailed off at Alkan's question. He continued.
"They say he killed Karot when he was on a mission to wipe out the Red Kobolds back in the day."
"What?"
At Revil's words, Alkan looked at Ming Hu with a look of disbelief, for he, too, had been told by Crime that Karot would be in the Eighth Circle, just as Revil had been.
"Are you sure?"
Alkan asked again in disbelief. In response to Alkan's question, Ming Hu opened his mouth to speak.
"Yes, I have a body."
"You have a corpse?"
"Yes."
"Can you see it?"
"Sure, but…where to take it out."
At Alkan's words, Ming Hu nodded and looked around to see where to take the body. This was the emperor's office. As if reading his thoughts, Alkan opened his mouth and said, "You can't just take the body out.
"You can just pull it out, show me."
"I see."
At Alkan's words, Ming Hu opened his inventory and pulled out Karot's corpse, placing it on the ground.
"…?"
"…?"
Alkan and Revil were stunned when they saw Karot's corpse, which Ming Hu pulled out. Then Alkan looked at Ming Hu and said, "I'm sorry.
"This looks like… Rich?"
Alkan asked, and Ming Hu continued.
"Yes, it's a Lich. When I caught Karot, he respawned as Lich, and I killed him again, but he didn't go back to his human body, so–"
At Ming Hu's words, Alkan and Revil turned away from Karot's corpse to look at Ming Hu.
"…"
"…"
Alkan and Revil were speechless at Ming Hu's words. Ming Hu put the corpse back into his inventory. Looking at Ming Hu's appearance, Alkan opened his mouth to speak.
"…I see, good job, really good job, Rich. Heh."
As Alkan finished speaking, a quest completion message appeared.
[You have completed the quest].
[Helioca's notoriety has increased by 3 million].
Ming Hu smiled at his reward. Then another message appeared.
[Earn additional rewards].
[Helioca's notoriety increased by 10 million].
"Huck.
Ming Hu, who had been smiling, looked at the message in surprise.
"10 million? No way!
Ten million? This was unexpected, even though the reward said that he would receive additional merit points. Ming Hu quickly opened his character window.

The quest reward has increased your merit by 13 million. Ming Hu stared in astonishment as his merit rose to 10 million. As he stared in astonishment, he heard Revil's voice in his ear.
"I'll ask them to come back."
"Uh, come back, uh, no, tell him to kill some more Red Kobolds while he's gone."
"I see."
After answering Alkan's question, Revil looked at Ming Hu and said.
"Let's go."
Profit
With that, Revil opened the door. Ming Hu bowed to Alkan and left his office through the door, followed by Revil, who closed the door behind him and opened his mouth to speak.
"Thank you for your work, and I'll leave you to it."
With that, Revil quickly walked down the hall. Ming Hu slowly made his way through the corridor and out of the building, heading for the forge.
"Hmph."
Heading to the forge, Ming Hu's lips curled into a smile.
