Level Up Monster
Chapter 11
As soon as Sae-Jin leaves the Alchemy House, Hazeline grabs her phone and calls someone.
"Hello, Master Knight?"
Hello, Miss Manager . I'd like to apologise for my early behaviour . I just happened to see the poor little Miss lying in the hospital bed before the call, so I just ended up losing my cool for a moment. "Hello, Miss Manager. I want to apologize for my previous behavior. It just so happened that I saw poor little Miss lying in a hospital bed before the call, so I ended up losing my composure for a moment … "
Her voice was not overly apologetic, but never thinking about it, Hazeline spoke in a somewhat relaxed manner.
"Oh, no. Its alright. You see, the product just came in."
Oh!! Really!! " " Oh !! Really !! "
There was a loud scream immediately. He could already imagine the sight of Park Hyun-Oh soaring from his chair, his eyes glaring and shouting at the top of his lungs on the other side of the line. A faint smile formed on Hazeline's lips.
"Fuhut. Yep. However, as I mentioned earlier, the product has just arrived here, so even though I plan to give it the highest value myself, the Central Association will have to test it as well to issue a sales permit for us. "
There's no need!! What kind of a fool would question Miss Hazeline's discerning eyes? In any case, I shall be there shortly . Please wait for me! " " Ah, no need !! What kind of fool would question Miss Hazeline's sharp eyes? Anyway, I'll be there soon. Please wait for me! "
"… Fuht. Alright. Please be careful in your path."
Releasing the call, Hazeline exhaled a breath of satisfaction and leaned her body against the back of the chair.
For him, it had been 3 years since he had retreated from the world of alchemy after feeling extremely dislike for the influential companies and the foolish men and women of the Knight Order.
Of course, even though he was no longer on the front lines, being overconfident still continued to harass her, but right at this moment, he felt good enough to soar high up in the sky. Moments when the dynamic between the "who owns" money and those who serve is turned on his head, such as when concocting potions perfectly, or a well-made potion enters through the door of his room.
'… cause he said it for a while so maybe he'll take 5 minutes peak. '
High-ranked Knights of the Saebyuk Order can use private jets that burn Mana Stones as a fuel source. It is a complete waste of resources to fly a supersonic jet to come to Gangwon Province from the capital Seoul because this is not an emergency situation, but taking into account the identity of the patient, he may not be able to delay the important thing anymore.
To welcome the guests, Hazeline put on the previously discarded robe and pulled out her hood.
"But I won't hand it over easily. '
jijang on their sales request letter . The idiots were unaware of the fact that the alchemist had left his disdain on their sales request letter. If that was the case, then ...he would squeeze them for all their grades, and make their innards boil with anxiety until they melt into nothingness.
habit " there was . This was the kind of light revenge that only he could do, but when viewed from the perspective of the people on the receiving side, it might have been a form of "habit " the cruelest and most evil there.
"ah! Right too!"
He had almost forgotten to do anything else before all that. Hazeline hurriedly grabbed her phone and called someone else.
"Hello, reporter Yun Hui-Jeong. Been a long time. Oh, nothing special. It was just that an important herb was finally available here after a very long time. Hm? Oh, we have enough supplies. 4 bottles. It's amazing, huh? Even for me, handling these 4 bottles of incredible potions was the first. Yeah, oh, thank you so much. I will send someone with all the necessary information. I hope to receive a sales permit in 3 days, so when the time comes, please write a good piece for me. "

[The first genius output that appeared was like a meteor, a high level potion, "The Goodness of A Goblin" hit the market. ]
⸢From Gaebyuk Daily, written by Yun Hui-Jeong, a staff reporter. ⸥
At 8 this morning. A potion with a unique name called A Goblin's Kindness, brewed by a certain alchemist, was issued with a sales license from the Central Alchemist Association.
The first thing that caught the attention was, of course, the name. It was said that the reason the alchemist brewing this potion borrowed the Goblin moniker, which could be considered a minus, was due to a simple hypothetical case, which was, however it was hard to imagine what would happen if Goblins showed kindness to humans and used their potion-making skills.
And what surprised us even more, though, the herb was considered to have perfect healing and regenerative properties by the Association and was ranked highly as if to imply that the alchemist must have perfectly imitated the original Goblin craftsmanship. Moreover, this potion, the Goodness of A Goblin, happened to be the first creation of this alchemist.
…
…
…
The potion will be auctioned off at 12 o'clock exactly 8 days from now, with the premise of the "Yoseon" Alchemy House located in Wonju city, Gangwon Province. With this concoction, A Goblin's Kindness, appearing like sweet soothing rain in a time of seemingly endless drought, this reporter hopes that these events may be able to inject a feeling of life, even if it is small, to a market that has fallen into a panic. late
\=\=\=
The atmosphere at the headquarters of the Raven Knight Order located in the outskirts of Jongro, Seoul, was in a rather high condition with the appearance of a high level potion after more than half a year of deprivation.
The Raven Knight Order who set its sights beyond the Korean border and vied for the top spot on the global stage, regularly fought against the rare Monsters whose ranks were at the upper middle level, or who suddenly appears and starts attacking without warning. The thing is, these upper Mid Tier monsters each possess unique special powers, making them truly disaster walking and when facing these creatures, they are not, the Knight's abilities proved somewhat inadequate most of the time.
In all honesty, rather than calling it inadequate, it would be far truer to say fear has paralyzed them.
After the uncontrolled and uncontrolled development of the Earth's environment, the current Healing magic is all "dead", leaving behind the treatment of wounds caused by Monsters for modern potions and medicines. However, although modern medicine can reconnect severed limbs, it is impossible to regenerate what is lost, so the Knights end up believing and depending on the potion from modern medical technology.
But for the past half a year, the supply of high-end potions that allowed the Knights to fight with high-level monsters without hesitation had dried up. Not only had the herbs with healing, regenerative abilities, but also the herbs that increased physical strength for a short time had disappeared as well. Thus, as news of the appearance of the higher Tier Monsters spread, the situation had turned into a point where the Knights could not casually choose to go out and hunt them down again.
"Have you heard the rumors?"
"Yes. But it has a strange name. But, uh, can our Order secure it?"
"Come on, why not. And I also heard it was 40 ml per bottle. In addition, 2 bottles were sold at once."
"40ml should be enough for 6 people .. With that, perhaps, we can now finally hunt down the newly hatched Basilisk, right?"
The interest shown by the Knights of the Raven Order towards this high grade herb that appeared out of nowhere was somewhat understandable.
"Hm …."
In the front lobby of the Knight Order, Kim Yu-Rin sighed as she read the information sheet sent from the Alchemy House for the effect of the new potion and the expected price. Although there had to be a lot of competition to obtain this herb since it had been absent for a long time, he knew that if it was a Raven Order, there would be no problem in obtaining the product at the end of the day.
Kim Yu-Rin squeezed her face with a dissatisfied feeling. The Alchemy House provides the first information to an entity that has a good relationship with them in this kind of personal sales commission. In other words, the Raven Order that did not receive a head-up did not enjoy a good relationship with this particular House.
'If it was the Alchemy House of Yoseon, then it must have been Hazeline. '
Kim Yu-Rin slowly massaged her aching temple as the Hazeline mug floated in her mind.
Hazeline and Kim Yu-Rin. The two share a thicker bond of sibling blood, stretching back for nearly 20 years.
However, that strong friendship turned out to be extremely fast thanks to one particular incident. What happened was a stupid, unbelievably simple misunderstanding. But more misunderstandings keep piling up on top of the others, turning the situation much worse, and once the relationship starts to break down, the downward momentum can't be stopped anymore.
Their rapidly deteriorating relationship finally reached a head 3 years ago which resulted in a very serious event.
Hazeline has poisoned Kim Yu-Rin's potion, and when Yu-Rin manages to survive after desperately fighting for her life, she cuts Hazeline's arm clean.
This bad event remained a secret until now, only known to the two after they had secretly made a deal, that caused one of them not to blame each other or tell others about the matter.
And now, several years have passed since the two of them stopped caring for each other and lived their own separate lives. During that time, Kim Yu-Rin had fought hard and managed to claim the prestigious title of the youngest Supreme High Knight ever, and Hazeline had created an elixir called "The Hard Drink of Fairy" to renew his lost arm and in the process have risen to the position of Alchemy House Manager.
Like this, the two of them firmly grasped a future that was much brighter than their past but in the end, could only be the worst worst enemy. And now, the sporadically recalled good memories they once shared together have lost their sheen long ago.
"Supreme Knight Lady Kim Yu-Rin !!" (SH: OMG. Sounds wrong. Should I start using Korean honor instead? Please comment below.)
While he was swimming in the memories of the past, someone had walked over and started chatting with him. When he turned his head to see who it was, he saw quite a number of Knights gathered there.
"Uh ... What's the problem?"
When he replied with his usual flat expression, the Knight group consisting of 5 men and 3 women smiled brightly and gave a simple square box to him.
"This is a congratulatory gift to you, Miss Yu-Rin !! Congratulations on your ascension to the Highest Level !!"
Acting as the representative of the group, a male Knight with a pretty cute face spoke. He is Kim Soo-Gyeom, a junior Knight who served as a direct apprentice who worked under Yu-Rin for 2 years while he was still a Mid Tier Knight.
"Oh, right. Thank you, everyone."
Yu-Rin lightly pats the head of the male Knight who is as tall as herself and receives the gift. Kim Soo-Gyeom acts timidly at his touch and gulps his saliva.
"Please open !!"
Their odd expression of blushing seemed to indicate that the gift inside this box must have been very good. Seeing their excitement, Yu-Rin's own expectations go up as well as she opens the lid of the box. Yet he already knew that it was futile to hope for much.
"…."
Surprise!!" – "Surprise !!"
Yu-Rin confirms the contents of the box and observes the faces of the knights in front of her with the corner of her eyes. They are full of hope. He doesn't want to disappoint them.
"Oh, oh …. Here, I really need this. Thank you very much, everyone."
As per his reputation, he did not jump around in joy but instead, only made an expression that showed his gratitude. Thanks to his previous experience, his acting skills were rather outstanding. No, in fact, it shouldn't be called acting. He would be delighted with just the sincere words of his fellow Knights congratulating him.
enobis, then it must have been really extensive.." "I'm really sorry about this. If it is a product of Z enobis, then it must be very expensive …"
He spoke apologetically as he picked up a pair of jet-black gloves. Zenobis stylishly carved on the sides . They are a pair of lightweight but very sturdy armoured gloves, with the Zenobis brand carved in style on the sides. Since Zenobis was an exclusive workshop that only dealt with rare and high-grade metals as a minimum requirement, the price of these gloves must have easily exceeded hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"No, no, not at all. We're just sorry we couldn't get anything better to show how grateful we are for all you've done for us up until now."
"I haven't done much. Ah, true. By the way …"
Yu-Rin carefully observes the reactions of the knights before asking them carefully.
"Did they just have black?"
"Eh? Ah ... No, it's impossible. They only have bright colors for the use of the women. So we specifically asked for special painting and black painted gloves. The color will definitely not fade, so you do not have to worry. "
"A, oh ……"
Yu-Rin thinks that bright colors will be better. But she can't reply with Soo-Gyeom's smiling face and instead ends up with a weak smile.
Kim Yu-Rin, in her 27 years of life. Every gift he had ever received in his life was all battle equipment, exactly like this.

Around the same time, Sae-Jin comes to the Monster Shop to unpack the items but now stares at the TV projection with a very satisfied expression.
– It has been half a year, but finally, high-grade herbs are available for purchase in the market. Named A Goblin's Kindness and coming in a 40 ml bottle, the price for this herb has been set at around $ 350,000 which are on the top side of the range, but regardless, it is, the influx of requests for purchases has come not only from local Korean Organizations but from international entities as well. And ever since Yoseon Alchemy House registered the trademark "Goblin", people eagerly waited to see if there would be another herb with different medical effects from 'A Goblin's Kindness' which appear in the market.
"Excuse me? Excuse me? I said, excuse me !!"
The government worker becomes fed up with Sae-Jin concentrating only on TV and finally raises her voice to him.
"Oh, sorry. Poor me."
"Here, please take this. Mr. Kim Sae-Jin has managed to raise his rank from Low Level to Mid Low Level, having accumulated a hunting experience worth more than 60 days …."
Sae-Jin can't focus on the old procedure and her entire attention goes back to the sound coming from the TV.
– And when it became known that this was the alchemist's first product, a great amount of attention from the Korean and international community chat rooms had been solely focused on him, going so far as to call the alchemist the mystery "Alchemist Goblin" or even "The Genius of Alchemy". But the Alchemy House is responsible for the circulation of the potion, Yoseon, the, it has been strongly suggested to curb the excessive attention focused on mystery alchemists as they fear the sudden unwarranted scrutiny being done on the person may have a negative impact on him …
