Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 71

The soldiers of the mobile launcher loaded the rockets and aimed at the dragon.

In urgent situations like this, they could shoot without the commander’s orders.

Poof-

A rocket was fired at the dragon.

Swish-

The dragon quickly shot up vertically and dodged the bomb.

Bang-

The bomb that missed self-destructed in the air.

The rocket was designed with reference to the ammunition of a modern anti-aircraft gun.

So it is designed to self-destruct if it does not hit the target.

This is because if the bomb that missed falls to the ground and explodes, the friendly forces on the ground could be caught in the explosion and die.

Poof-

Another launcher fired a rocket at the dragon.

Swish-

This time too, the bastard dodged it by changing its flight direction.

Then it climbed to a very high altitude where the rocket could not reach.

“Don’t let your guard down, everyone!”

While the launchers responded to the dragon’s surprise attack, the other soldiers who were resting prepared for battle.

All the soldiers put arrows on their bowstrings and aimed at the sky.

They were supplied with personal arrows and crossbow bolts made of dragon bones.

Whirl-

The Saltus Dragon circled high in the sky.

One of the soldiers looked up at the dragon and muttered to himself.

“Just go away!”

Swooooooosh-

The Saltus Dragon opened its mouth and breathed out a green mist.

The mist was actually poison.

The Saltus Dragon’s poison was a deadly poison that was in a different dimension from the poison of a pit viper.

Even the slightest touch on the skin would melt the affected area.

However, it was weak now.

The dragon was spraying the poisonous mist from hundreds of meters in the sky, so the toxicity became very weak because it was diluted in the air as it fell.

Gulp, gulp-

The soldiers felt short of breath and took out the green potion from their bags and drank it.

Caron’s pocket, which automatically administered the potion, was only supplied to a few people, such as the launch pad unit.

So the rest of the soldiers had to open the potion and drink it by mouth.

Anyway, after ingesting the green potion, the antidote effect was exerted, and their breathing became easier.

Swooooooosh-

However, the Saltus Dragon continued to spray the poisonous mist without stopping.

The duration of the green potion’s effect was not that long.

The soldiers felt short of breath again.

They had no choice but to take out the green potion again and drink it.

‘We can’t keep this up.’

Tarman was worried.

He couldn’t engage in a war of attrition with the dragon because he couldn’t supply the soldiers with an infinite amount of green potion.

There was only one way to overcome the crisis.

They had to evacuate to a place where the dragon’s poisonous mist could not reach.

Taking shelter in a cave where the wind was blowing out was the best way.

However, to evacuate to the nearest cave from here, they had to go back the way they came.

‘But there’s no other way.’

Just as Tarman was about to give the order to retreat to the soldiers,

Whizzing-

Suddenly, a strong wind began to blow.

Then, the poisonous mist blown by the dragon was carried far away by the wind.

They could breathe without taking the antidote from the green potion.

The soldiers’ faces brightened.

“Heaven is helping us!”

“It must be because His Majesty is blessing our path.”

Unlike the soldiers, Tarman frowned.

‘What a strange wind.’

He knew the climate of the Horn Mountains well.

While traveling to train with my daughter, I’ve been here many times.

But I’ve never seen such a strong gust of wind.

Tarman looked around, turning his head.

A figure standing on a hill in the distance entered his view.

He was a hooded man holding a long staff in his hand.

The wind was gushing out from that staff.

‘A wizard?’

Unable to attack properly due to the sudden wind, the dragon stopped spraying its toxic mist.

Then, after circling in the air a few times, it disappeared into the western sky.

Wow!

The soldiers cheered as the dragon gave up its attack and left.

Tarman immediately headed towards the hill.

And he asked the man who had helped them by causing the wind,

“Who are you?”

“A humble wanderer.”

“You caused the wind with magic? Are you a wizard?”

“It’s just a little trick.”

In this era, there were many who claimed to be wizards, but there were no real wizards.

Even the wizard who served King Melbeck up close was nothing more than a fraud.

But the wind just now wasn’t an illusion, it was real magic.

Hmm-

Melbeck looked at the man with doubtful eyes.

Although he had received his help, he was very suspicious.

The sudden dragon attack and an unidentified man who showed up just in time to help.

It was as if someone had written a script.

“I received your help in a difficult situation, thank you!”

“Not at all. In times like these, we must help each other.”

“But what were you doing here alone?”

“I was traveling outside the realm of Gaho, but I ran out of food and supplies, so I was heading to the nearby castle.”

“If it’s a nearby castle…”

The wandering wizard said, looking at the Horn Mountains.

“I’m on my way to Melbeck.”

***

Minhyuk was overseeing the excavation work.

Thud, thud-

Dwarf engineers and elves dug the cave diligently with shovels and pickaxes made of astral metal.

Thud-

The golem also helped by moving heavy rocks.

‘At this rate, it’ll take about a week.’

This was the temple of the goddess Freya that I had visited before with Balin’s guidance.

The passage was too narrow to take the higher-level magic disk outside the temple.

So, they decided to widen the passage.

Once the construction was finished, they would move the magic disk to Asdel Fortress.

– Your Majesty, it’s Tarman!

Tarman’s voice came from Durango’s twin rings.

– We have safely arrived in Melbeck.

Tarman reported in detail to Minhyuk about what happened while he was traveling.

From being attacked by the Saltus dragon near the Horn Mountains to receiving help from a certain man just in time.

Even to Minhyuk, the unidentified man seemed quite suspicious.

Anyway, the troops led by Tarman had safely arrived in Melbeck, so the first step towards unification had been taken safely.

If Tarman organized the traffic there well, Minhyuk would later move to Melbeck with the dragon’s heart.

If he restored the altar of protection there and won the hearts of the people of Melbeck, he would be able to rule them smoothly.

“Your Majesty! We found something strange while digging the ground!”

A dwarf worker ran to Minhyuk holding something.

It was a chunk of stone emitting a mysterious light.

Information about it appeared before Minhyuk’s eyes.

<Soul Stone (High)>

– A jewel that can hold souls.

He recalled the story he had heard from the golem.

That soul hunters used soul stones to capture the souls of the dead.

He wasn’t sure if he would ever use it, but he put it in the refrigerator for now.

After all, it was the rule to check what it would turn into when he discovered a new item.

“Return.”

Pop-

With a flash of light, Minhyuk moved to the back of the truck.

He opened the refrigerator door and found ice cream inside.

It was the popsicle he used to enjoy when he was young.

He suddenly thought of his late father.

He used to buy this ice cream for him if he got 100% on his dictation.

“Return.”

Pop-

Minhyuk returned to the construction site of Freya’s Temple.

After a while, a dwarf worker came running with something else.

“Your Majesty! We found another strange thing!”

This time, it was a large egg.

It was several times larger than an ostrich egg.

<Parrot Griffin’s Egg (Petrified)>

– A petrified egg of a parrot griffin.

– It will break free from petrification and hatch if special conditions are met.

Minhyuk used Durango’s twin rings to ask Professor Lehman in Asdel Fortress.

“What is a parrot griffin?”

– It is a legendary animal with the upper body of a parrot and the lower body of a cat. It is said to be highly intelligent and able to converse with humans, as written in books.

The typical griffin is a combination of an eagle and a lion.

However, I cannot quite imagine what a parrot head and a cat body would look like.

“Can a parrot griffin fly in the sky?”

– Of course, it’s called a griffin. And it is said to have a gentler personality than the typical griffin. There were even wizards who tamed and rode parrot griffins.

Oh!

Perhaps I can obtain a flying mode of transportation by hatching a parrot griffin egg.

“Is there any mention in the book about how to undo petrification?”

“Just a moment… Yes, there is! It says to wrap the egg in the fur of a forest antelope and place it in a warm place, and the petrification will be undone and it will hatch.”

Minhyuk had encountered forest antelope fur before.

Previously, when he put a USB drive in the refrigerator, the high-capacity one turned into silver, and the 16GB one turned into forest antelope fur.

“Return.”

Pop-

With a flash of light, Minhyuk was transported to the back of the truck.

When he checked last time, one USB drive had turned into a fist-sized clump of fur.

To completely cover the large egg, he would need at least 100 of them.

Minhyuk searched for 16GB USB drives on an online shopping mall.

Since they were low-capacity, they only cost a few thousand won each.

He generously ordered 200 of them and requested same-day delivery.

Ding-dong-

A message arrived saying that the items would arrive within 4 hours.

‘Should I go for a walk while I wait?’

Minhyuk stepped outside.

He walked slowly, passing through the alley and onto the main road.

He scanned the signs along the street to see if there were any decent restaurants near his house.

Then, he spotted a sign that caught his attention.

<Ginseng Appraisal Institute>

There was a place near his house that handled ginseng.

Minhyuk had originally intended to make money using ginseng.

However, he was now hesitating.

This was because, in the case of ginseng, there was no clear scientific standard for assessing its value.

In the case of ambergris, for example, it is recognized as genuine ambergris if the essential ingredient, ambergris, is detected.

However, most scientists agree that ginseng has no significant compositional difference when compared to regular ginseng.

Some even say that the status of ginseng itself is a fiction created by the combination of the health desires of the wealthy, who spend lavishly when they hear that something is good for their bodies, and the greed of swindlers.

Even so, ginseng was still incredibly expensive.

Not long ago, a 400-gram ginseng discovered in Korea was appraised at 680 million won.

‘Should I try putting ginseng in the refrigerator?’

Minhyuk stepped inside the ginseng appraisal institute.

An appraiser greeted Minhyuk.

“Welcome.”

“Can I buy some ginseng here?”

“Yes, we evaluate and sell it. Are you buying it as a gift?”

“No, I’m going to eat it myself.”

“That’s right! You have to take care of your health from a young age!”

The appraiser showed Minhyuk several roots of ginseng and briefly explained their shapes.

After listening to the explanation, Minhyuk pointed to the small ginseng and asked the appraiser.

“How much is each of these?”

“They cost between 3 and 5 million won. The ones over here cost more than 10 million won.”

“Don’t you have any better ones?”

“Of course we do.”

The appraiser brought out a large box from the back.

The box contained 80g of ginseng.

“How much is this?”

“It’s 120 million won.”

“I’ll take this.”

The appraiser’s eyes widened.

Minhyuk observed his expression and asked immediately.

“Do you give a discount if I pay in cash?”

“I’ll give it to you for 110 million won.”

“Let’s just make it 100 million won.”

.

.

.

Minhyuk bought two ginseng roots.

One worth 100 million won and the other worth 3 million won.

He wanted to see if there was any difference when he put the expensive ginseng and the cheap ginseng in the refrigerator.

‘There are people who actually buy and eat this stuff for 100 million won each.’

No matter how much money Minhyuk had, he wouldn’t buy such expensive ginseng to eat himself.

He bought it as an investment.

And since he used the 50,000 won he got from exchanging the gold coin, he didn’t feel too bad about spending the money.

Minhyuk put the ginseng in the refrigerator.

“Return.”

BAM-

With a flash of light, Minhyuk returned to Freya’s temple.
