I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 244

Complaint filing (3)

“Magic pen?”

“It’s just a nickname. It’s intuitive, right?”

Gamble raised an eyebrow.

In front of the gamble are a thick wooden stick and a magic stone smaller than a baby’s fingernail.

“I don’t know about the intuitive part, but… Are you doing something with magic? What are you doing?”

“It’s simple.”

The magic pen is something that Dayeon’s magic engineering researchers have put their heart and soul into. It is in the form of a fountain pen that is easy to carry, and it has been processed in various ways to make it easier to draw runes, such as by compensating for hand tremors. The price is not cheap, but considering what you can do with it, it is not expensive. It is not something that hunters would hesitate to buy. Furthermore, as runes became essential, not only hunters but also magicians began to use magic pens.

In addition, Dayeon revealed the principle of the magic pen. The magic pen is Dayeon’s exclusive product, but the simple magic pen that can be completed with just a small magic stone and a stick to embed the magic stone has sometimes become a lifeline for hunters. This is because the magic pen did not have good durability and was a consumable item.

Although they know how to draw runes in a hurry, there aren’t many hunters who can skillfully draw such complicated runes without a correction function. So even though they revealed the method for making a simple magic pen, the sales of Dayeon’s magic pens didn’t decrease significantly. Rather, hunters who made magic pens using the method revealed by Dayeon in critical moments and survived the crisis bought magic pens in large quantities, saying that it was worth their lives.

Now that I think about it, Dayeon may have revealed the principles of the magic pen with her father’s help… That person must have done one or two things without me knowing. It wasn’t a bad thing for Dayeon, since she was able to improve the company’s image without significantly reducing sales.

Make a long vertical cut on the prepared stick with a cutter knife. It is better if the stick is made of a material that transmits magic well. Hunters often use red birch branches found in dungeons. Since it is a tree that can be easily found in any area’s dungeons, if you find this tree in a dungeon you enter, cut off all the branches and take them with you.

I also broke off a branch of a red birch tree that I found while I was exploring the dungeon with Han Tae-kyung. The inside of the branch was pure white, but it was dark red. I carefully scratched the branch so that it wouldn’t split in half, and this time I cut my finger.

“Hic!”

While I, the one who actually hurt him, was still, Gamble was startled and jumped up.

“Why, why are you doing this?”

“Because it has its uses.”

“Blood… Bleeding? There’s so much…?”

“This isn’t that much.”

I dropped the blood that was starting to form on my fingertips into the scratch I had dug. I looked at it carefully to make sure the blood was soaking into the scratch.

Basically, the blood of the Awakened contains a small amount of magical power.

I put blood on the magic stone and pressed it down hard on the end of the branch. If there is any foreign substance like glue mixed in, it won’t be made properly. Anyway, it’s fine as long as it’s fixed.

This completes the preparations.

There is still blood on the tip of my finger. I held the magic pen with my bloody hand. The blood and magic pen in my body must resonate. That is why I must hold it with my wounded hand.

I drew a rune on paper. It’s one of the ones I presented at the multi-speaking event. The luminous rune.

“Rune…? Isn’t this something only wizards can do?”

“What about Hope? Monsters use it too.”

“No. He can’t use it right now. It’s said that the human body has a limited ability to use magic or something…. And because of his personality, he also doesn’t like drawing runes.”

Of course, monsters also use runes.

“That may be true. But there are runes you know, right?”

“They said humans can’t use it. They said there aren’t many types anyway.”

“Can’t you use Michelle too?”

“It’s a problem with his physical structure, so he can’t use it… But I’m sure he did some research.”

Gamble didn’t realize what he was saying. Judging by the mood, it seemed like he wouldn’t realize it for a long time.

“Anyway, originally only magicians could use runes, but with this, even regular Awakened users can draw runes.”

I put down the magic pen. The magic stone broke even with a light impact. If Dayeon’s magic pen was a consumable item, this one was disposable.

He squeezed the wound and let a drop of blood fall onto the rune.

“… … !”

The runes glowed brightly.

“Huh, uh. What… Is, is this real?!”

Gamble’s language skills have improved by leaps and bounds. This means he can switch between Korean, English, and Spanish.

However, compared to Kim Chae-min, who grabbed Hong Seok-young by the collar, it was a much more moderate reaction.

Gamble raised his hand and waved it wildly in the air, then circled around the magic pen.

“This, that, me too?”

“Yes. You can look at it. I was going to show you anyway. But now the magic stone is broken, so I can’t use it anymore.”

“Magic Stone… Is this completely unusable?”

“Because the magic power was sucked out in an instant. If you grind it into powder, there will be a place where it can be used.”

“Ah, ah… . That’s right. Even so, using the magic stone as a one-time thing… .”

Gamble took apart the magic pen.

Since the structure is so simple, it doesn’t seem like there’s much to look at, but Gamble put a lot of effort into examining the magic pen.

“So the blood of the Awakened….”

There are a bunch of technical terms that are hard to understand. Even if you speak Korean, you can’t understand it, so English? And Spanish? Gamble, who was born in the United States but whose parents are Mexican immigrants, is as familiar with Spanish as he is with English. So, let’s understand.

However, it wasn’t a completely new field for me, so I could understand a few terms. Awakener’s blood, medium, magic stone… Since I already knew the answer, I could tell that Gamble was organizing his own theory by looking at this crude magic pen assembly method.

A genius is a genius, they say.

Let’s leave it as it was for a while. Gamble came to his senses belatedly.

“Oh. I’m sorry… .”

“No, it’s okay. Did you enjoy it?”

“…Can I see more?”

“Later. Let’s talk.”

gulp.

Gamble swallowed. If you don’t get that nervous, you won’t get caught.

“This is the magic pen.”

“yes yes.”

“Let’s go with what the doctor developed.”

“yes yes?”

I tapped the table. The magic pen rattled and twitched in time with the vibration.

“As you may know, I am currently researching runes in Dasun.”

“Ah… Is that the one you announced last year?”

“Do you know?”

“That was quite noisy here too… I wondered if I could apply runes to magical engineering. I thought it wouldn’t be practical since it would require a wizard, but if I had this, it would be a different story.”

I see. I hadn’t thought about that. It wasn’t just the hunters in the dungeon who experienced great changes due to the development of runes.

“But why should I develop it?”

“This was originally used in the ark.”

Gamble’s eyes widened as if they were going to pop out. He had expected that he would be surprised, but he felt bad for being so surprised.

“To be exact, it is a method rarely used only among some practitioners… janitors.”

“uh….”

“As you can see, it would be a waste to keep throwing things like this away. Since we are also developing runes in Dasun, I’m just going to release them.”

I pointed outside the lab.

“I plan to teach runes to my students too.”

“Umm… Then, so. Does that mean I need to clean the source?”

Gamble knew exactly what I wanted to do.

“If that’s what you want, wouldn’t it be better to use the multi-line? I heard they’re researching runes there too.”

Gamble frowned.

“And it seems like you two have a very close relationship.”

Perhaps because of the memory of being captured by the Association’s hunters, Gamble had a strangely difficult time with Imiseon. Was it because he found it difficult, or because he hated it?

It would have been unfair for Lee Mi-seon, who still regrets that we stole her player from Gamble, to know about it.

“That won’t do.”

“You are decisive.”

“We have no intention of making commercial profit from this.”

“…swimming.”

Gamble made a strange noise as if he had lost all strength.

He blinked, took off his glasses that had slipped off his nose, and blew on them. He wiped the foggy lenses with the hem of his shirt, and did the same with the other lens.

I waited calmly.

Gamble checked to make sure there was no dust on his glasses, then put them on.

“You have no intention of making any commercial profit?”

“yes.”

“Not at all?”

“We are a guild. We have no intention of doing business.”

I added.

“At least for now.”

What Gamble will produce in the future is another story. Things like a magic meter, a magic meter, or a magic meter…

“Of course I will file a patent. That is important.”

“Yes, it is important.”

“But I won’t do business with it. If Dasun or Dayeon want to make something with it, I have no intention of stopping them.”

“Huh… Are you just going to make it public, then?”

I nodded.

“That’s what Mr. Hong meant. Imagine if Hunters could use Runes without a Magician.”

“…It’s better than nothing, right?”

“Are the runes made in Dasun now the ones announced last year?”

“… … !”

“Mr. Hong and I aim to increase the survival rate of hunters. Runes are one way to do that. For that, a magic pen is essential.”

Gamble bit his lips and sat lost in thought.

It didn’t take long for Gamble to figure it out. If it was her, she would have realized the importance of my words right away.

“… Okay. But! My name is not allowed.”

“You said you knew?”

“I respect the opinions of the teacher and the guild master. I respect them. But this is a matter of my pride. It is a matter of my conscience.”

Gamble said firmly.

“I can’t say that I did something I didn’t make.”

It seemed like he was determined not to give in to anything. Was it his pride as a scholar? Considering that there are those who steal other people’s research, it was a spirit worth emulating.

But this is difficult.

Even so, if you bring up Hong Seok-young’s name, they will have no choice but to allow you to use his name… .

I stopped thinking about it as I did back in the days of the management office. Kim Chae-min also said that this was a shame. Gamble is the same. Regardless of the start, we need to maintain a good relationship in the future to be able to exploit the magic meter and develop the magic meter without a hitch.

The management office is a public institution with a vertical structure, but now it is Hong Seok-young’s personal guild… .

“Then how about this?”

A good idea occurred to me.

“I am announcing that this is not the doctor’s personal research, but Gild Mimi’s research.”

“… Guild?”

I nodded and looked around the lab. It was a mess. Three or four desks were occupied by equipment of unknown use.

Considering the size of the equipment, it seems spacious enough for one person to use. Among the freshmen that Yangseong High School will accept in the future, there must be some who are interested in magical engineering… .

There will surely come a day when other researchers will be needed.

So this could also serve as bait for him.

“To be exact, it is being revealed under the name of Paros, the affiliated research lab of Guild Mimi.”
