Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 51: Free City of Lindel (2)

"Ah... I see."

"And Mr. Kiyoung..."

"Yes?"

"There is a separate space for you."

"Wait, really?"

"Let's go. I'll show you."

"Yeah, okay."

I followed Lee Sanghee with a slightly pleased expression. Park Deokgu, Jung Hayan, and Kim Hyunsung trailed behind us with curious expressions on their faces.

Upon entering the room at the end of the second-floor corridor, my jaw unconsciously dropped. This was the first time I was truly in awe after entering Lindel.

"You can work here in the future."

"Wow..."

There was a mountain of books stacked on one side of the room, but what stood out more to me was the multitude of alchemy equipment that filled the space. There were items used back in modern times, such as beakers and flasks and basic alchemy tools that I was already knowledgeable about.

On one side, the catalysts and other materials were systematically organized according to their types, and I could see other bits of machinery that I was not yet familiar with.

Most of the items presented by Cha Hee-ra were neatly placed in the room. The ancient republic's drug-making alchemy kit was also properly stacked on one side.

This place...

"This is the alchemy workshop you will use."

"Ah."

"In fact, I wanted to increase the scale a little more, but it was the first time I had prepared such a place for non-combatants..."

"No... This is... This is actually more than enough..."

"I was told that the experiment shouldn't contain other impurities, so I installed artifacts that included disinfection magic throughout the room. It's at the end of the room and has other artifacts installed to make it easier to ventilate, so you'll be able to use it comfortably. Defensive magic is also installed by default because there may be unexpected accidents."

"Thank you."

I couldn't understand what I was feeling. It was my first time having my own space. I never had one back on Earth.

"It feels like a laboratory used by scientists, Hyung."

"It looks so cool, Oppa!"

Cha Hee-ra's gifts were still the most valuable items here. However, the Blue Guild had also done its best to make me feel like I wasn't being neglected. I suddenly wanted to find out if any alchemists had also managed to start this well.

There were hero-grade books, hero-grade alchemy kits, plausible workshops supported by guilds, as well as numerous materials and catalysts given to me not just by one, but by two guilds.

I knew that if I couldn't produce results with such high-level equipment, there would be serious consequences. However, the atmosphere of my workspace made me feel like I could achieve anything. My confidence had been boosted.

I knew everyone here considered alchemy as an inefficient skill. The gold required to craft items were not worth the results, and other forms of magic were more desirable to the townsfolk than this. I knew Lee Sang-hee had taken quite the risky jump of investment for me.

However, she wouldn't need to be disappointed. I could make anything with the equipment that was provided for me!

"Hyung! We're heading out to eat now."

"You can all go ahead first, Deokgu."

"Huh?"

"I want to experiment with a few things. I'll catch up with you later. Please take Hayan with you."

Park Deokgu showed a slightly regrettable expression. Nevertheless, he nodded. Lee Sang-hee, however, was pleasantly taken aback. From her motherly point of view, her newest child had just shown enthusiasm to work, which pleased her greatly.

How could I not? They had arranged everything in such a motivating manner that eating was the least of my priorities now. A day off sounded nice, but my excitement proved too much to resist. There were a lot of things I wanted to try out right away.

"No..."

"Actually, I was thinking of hosting a simple dinner today, but I think I should put it off for next time. All the other parties are present, so these times seem most appropriate. If you need anything, please tell us in the lobby on the 1st floor. We will explain the various facilities in the guild that we could not explain today by then. I will be taking my leave."

The giddy smile on her face seemed cute.

"No. I need to do some training too. I also need to organize my stuff. What will Jung Hayan do?"

"That... Well... Me, too, I'm also going to practice..."

"What about Hyung Kim Hyunsung?"

"I think I would want to look around the city."

"Huh?"

"I want to take a tour and see everything, from the temples right to the slums."

"Hm..."

I felt a little worried. I would be too weak to defend myself if I dared to venture to the slum area by myself and met with some ruffians. However, I knew Kim Hyunsung was strong enough. I had a lot of trust in both his intellect and strength.

"And..."

"Yeah?"

"I saw a lot of people in the plaza earlier."

Only

"I think most of them are people who are also looking for party members."

"Ah."

"Yeah. We might find our newest member there."

It was only then that I could roughly understand what he planned to do.

'Oh...'

Whether he found the person from the temples or the slums, I somehow knew Kim Hyunsung would look for the fifth member of our party.

The only question was whether he would be able to find him right away.
