I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 33
Chapter 33
– Oh thank you!
He remembered the flattering words of gratitude from the director of the real estate agency. Not surprisingly, a deal worth 1.5 billion won.
There is still a lot of free land near Sung Hoon’s house, which is exactly what he needs, so he bought it in bulk. He contacted the owner of the land through the director of the real estate agency, immediately concluded an agreement and contributed the entire amount.
The size of the properties purchased was impressive. If in the past the hunter bought land of 248 pyeong for 200 million won, now he owned a plot of 5,000 pyeong for 1.5 billion *.
( P: One pyeong equals 3.30579 sq.m. Accordingly, in the past he took 820 sq.m. for about $ 166,000; now – 16,528 sq.m. for about $ 1,250,000.)
In addition, he purchased this site at a fairly low price, which could not but rejoice. This is because there were no buyers for the land at the moment. The price for one pyong was about 300 thousand won, and the total cost came out to one and a half billion. Since Sung Hoon was making a lot of money, he could afford it.
After all this, he contacted HD Group and asked them to install solar panels on the acquired area, as well as a wind farm.
In an era of cheap energy production from so-called nuclei, the idea of building your own power plant may seem strange. But Sung Hoon just kept some things in mind.
Doesn’t the energy from the nuclear power plants belong to other people? Even if its price is low, it can be a problem due to its unlimited use.
In addition, if people find out that he is converting electricity into mana, it will shock those around him, because the amount of electricity that he uses alone significantly exceeds the consumption level of an entire apartment building.
Of course, he will hardly be able to hide this fact for a long time and, in any case, over time it will become known. But if you independently generate electricity for conversion into mana, then this will undoubtedly remain a secret longer.
Be that as it may, he started this construction. After everything is ready, Song Hoon will be able to quickly reach rank five.
The higher the level, the more mana you need. For the ninth rank, you will need to generate as much electricity as a nuclear power plant produces in a month.
When construction started, Song Hoon visited Lee Gi Suk.
– From the government came a message – he announced the decision about the conditions set by the guy.
They agreed to give him five hundred billion won worth of kernels. And they will be delivered to his home within a couple of days.
***
Among all the things that Sung Hoon could create from these cores, he decided to create the one he considered most useful. He didn’t have enough mana and he lacked the skills to replenish it, but he had knowledge.
Therefore, an object made from these cores … no, in terms of his familiar terms, an object made from these crystals has become a powerful artifact for him.
– Actually, it is not so effective. But it will buy time …
Sung Hoon stood in front of the portal and muttered to himself. Outwardly, his equipment was almost no different from what he wore earlier: the guy was dressed in his combat suit and was holding a wand in his hands. He also wore a black bracelet on his wrist.
But that was not all, another ring was added. It was made from half of the crystals that the government provided him. It turns out that it was worth 250 billion won.
– What? I didn’t hear you well, “asked one of the military men who were standing next to the guy.
“Nothing, just thinking aloud,” the magician answered and looked around.
Reporters, military and ordinary civilians, all eyes were on him.
Now they were at the portal in Yoido Park, which formed right in front of the National Assembly building. This place was very important economically and nationally.
– Awakened Lee Sung Hoon, please answer! Are you able to cope alone?
– Master Awakened! Can you guarantee …
The crowd of reporters was buzzing and questions were pouring in from all sides.
“I went,” Sung Hoon said instead of answering all the questions and stepped into the portal.
***
After a moment, Song Hoon felt like he was in a completely different world. Soon the first unusual sensations appeared: the skin began to grow slightly numb, and the nose itched up. Even, to be more precise, it started to spin.
“What’s this? Poison?”
Looking around, the guy realized that he was in the middle of a forest densely braided with climbing plants. Many of them were completely rotten, while others were halfway to decomposition and, of course, gave off odors at the same time. Or rather, they just stank.
– Now it is clear why the others did not survive. Isn’t that poisonous gas? – the wizard spoke the thoughts out loud.
But stench is not all. Their presence meant that a bunch of poisonous creatures lived in this area. Plants, insects, reptiles and mammals – all here can poison any seasoned warrior.
Even the air was saturated with poison, so Song Hoon’s skin continued to grow numb and the burning sensation in his nose became unbearable.
If the other Awakened Ones entered here without prior preparation, they would simply perish right away.
– It’s good that I went alone – in fact, in such a situation his colleagues would become an extra burden for him. “Others don’t belong here.
He is an experienced magician who is always ready for any surprises. After all, your survival depends on how prepared you are for the dangers, right?
Therefore, Song Hoon prepared himself. Worth 250 billion won.
– Dimension call.
The ring on his finger shone. Its function was extremely simple – creating a 10×10 subspace storage. Anything could be stored inside, regardless of weight, the main thing is that it fits in size.
Song Hoon didn’t want to show his weapon to others, so he created this ring.
There were two artifacts inside.
Simultaneously with a flash of light, these two objects appeared before his eyes.
The first is a white ring. It looked like a halo of an angel floating in the air above the owner’s head.
The second item is a spider-like creature with six legs. It looked like a robot, but of course it wasn’t, since Song Hoon didn’t have the knowledge to do it yet.
It was a golem created by magic, two meters high and five meters wide. Basically, it was about the size of a truck.
[Player Lee Sung Hoon’s artifact has been activated.
Cleaning in progress.
Detoxification is performed.
Recovery is in progress.
Protective magic activated]
The ring, which looked like a halo, was extremely unusual. It is an item created in the past by high-ranking archmages to adapt to survival in various environmental conditions.
Song Hoon called this item “arch ring”
He activated magic that allowed him to be calm in extreme conditions such as water, space and poisonous areas. And he also used protection magic.
– Fuh, it’s good that I’m prepared. As he knew that it would be so, – rather nodding, the wizard praised himself. – Okay, it’s time to start. Number one, get ready to board.
“I am following the master’s order,” came the voice of the spider-like creature.
The golem slowly sank lower and a seat appeared at the back of its torso. The warrior climbed up there and sat down more comfortably. He strapped himself in and gave the following order:
– Scan the area. Kill all living things except those with intelligence.
“I am following the master’s order,” the golem replied.
Of course, the magician must always be prepared. If you have the time, money and knowledge, then you are capable of creating such a golem that can fight instead of the owner.
Four long beams formed from the body of a spider-like creature that was named “Number One”. They extended like long knives horizontally on all four sides.
With one sharp movement, all the plants in his path were cut. The golem began to chop the surrounding plants, as they were alive.
But that, of course, was not all. Hot flames burst from the beams. It burned not only plants, but all the numerous insects that lived in the thickets.
Poisonous creatures burned out, leaving behind a smoky curtain. But the magician didn’t care, because nothing prevented his breathing at the expense of the arch ring.
Song Hoon took his wand.
“As the lord of mana, I command you to spread the mana, gather the flame together! Become one!
The magic began its effect above the wizard’s head, and in an instant it united into a fireball about a meter in diameter, which was located at the end of the wand.
– Spreading flame!
Song Hoon took the wand and pointed it to a place far away from him. The fireball flew out like a bullet from a rifle. There was no explosion, the flame spread in a wave. In an instant, the plants were enveloped in fire, which became stronger and stronger and engulfed the surroundings.
– This is effective. If you set everything on fire, then the monsters will also burn.
The guy grinned as he watched the burning forest. In fact, the last time because of colleagues, he did not show himself to the fullest. Now I could not be shy.
[Level increased by 1.
Level increased by 1.]
– Oh, burning monsters also counts for my experience. Not bad.
Is the Akasha system so generous?
– Mages fight only in positions that are advantageous for themselves. Just like Sun Tzu bequeathed.
Seong Hoon, lounging in the saddle, reached out and tapped the golem’s head.
“Keep burning,” he commanded.
– I am following the order.
That’s what a magician is capable of.
***
Song Hoon continued to burn the forest. An incredible number of creatures died in the merciless flames. In this world, the forest dwellers had no resistance to fire.
But Song Hoon needed to stop something stronger than an ordinary living being.
Sensing danger, the owner of this forest nevertheless got up, instinctively realizing that he needed to put out the fire.
But the cunning owner did not act himself. He stretched out his neck and screamed, giving orders to his subordinates.
***
A wild roar was heard in the distance. The magician looked around, trying to determine the direction from which the voice of an unknown monster was heard.
But he was calm. He was still inside his golem, and he had nothing to fear. The guy continued to methodically set fire to the forest.
The fire covered an ever larger area.
“Are there no monsters here, just one boss?” Judging by the roar, this is him, “Sung Hoon mused.
