Chapter 198
198: These… These Are Superior Races?! (1)
* * *
While Safe Zone Baul was known to have many villains, it was still a safe zone, and with numerous Superior Races frequenting it, it was on an entirely different level from outer safe zones like Pureair. Rather than a rural-versus-city difference, it felt like the very civilization itself was different. There appeared to be at least a century or more of advancement between them.
And a ship was approaching Safe Zone Baul and docking. It was smaller than a medium-sized vessel but larger than a small one—what one might call a mid-sized ship. Yet by its appearance alone, it seemed worth at least as much as a large-class vessel.
And some began to murmur upon seeing the ship.
“Wasn’t that ship the one belonging to those Yongin Clan members?”
“Yeah, there are few races that even use ships, but there’s only one as magnificent as that.”
“Huh, what would it feel like to ride a ship like that?”
“Must be incredible.”
“They say Superior Races have points overflowing—guess it’s true.”
“Man, I’m jealous.”
With considerable envy surrounding the mid-sized ship as it docked, its doors opened and several figures descended. The mid-tier races who had been complaining about their jealousy suddenly widened their eyes. Those descending from such a magnificent ship weren’t mid-tier races—they were inferior-tier humans.
Everyone’s jaws dropped at the sight. Even they, mid-tier races, didn’t have a ship, so how could mere humans possibly have one?! That was exactly the feeling.
Casual racial discrimination, as natural as breathing. Yet it didn’t last long.
Because descending alongside the human party was a Yongin Clan party.
Seeing this, the mid-tier races who had been chattering let out sighs of relief.
“Ah, they must be slaves.”
“Of course humans couldn’t possibly pilot a ship.”
“The world’s gotten strange lately—I got confused for a moment.”
“Hahaha! What a ridiculous misunderstanding.”
They each made their racial jabs and went their separate ways.
Seeing this, Hezway, a Yongin, frowned in displeasure and was about to say something when Dohyun stopped her as if it were nothing.
“Ah, that’s just the common perception—can’t help it.”
“My, such tolerance…”
As Hezway marveled at Dohyun’s magnanimity, Hanalin and Jiyuchan were thinking similar thoughts.
‘If it’s Dohyun, he needs to be disrespected and provoked to gain spoils…’
‘Isn’t he being ignored so villains swarm to him like this?’
Though they were thinking nearly identical thoughts, neither Hezway nor Dohyun knew what was truly on their minds.
In any case, we’d arrived, so it was time to do what needed doing. Since I’d decided to catch Davy Jones together with Hezway, I’d agreed to travel with her.
Since it seemed I’d be staying here for a while, I spoke up.
“First, we should find lodging.”
“It’s probably better to arrange it in advance.”
“If we’re doing a long-term stay, that’s definitely the best approach.”
For a prolonged stay, securing lodging was paramount. I was about to tell Hezway that I’d find accommodations first and we’d meet up later when she asked me something.
Having heard what the Dohyun Party said, she asked me.
“Then wouldn’t you come to our building?”
Normally anyone would be delighted, but Hezway was still cautious in her offer. And at her words, I opened my mouth in surprise. It wasn’t her readily extending the invitation that shocked me.
Rather.
“Wow. You have a building?”
“I bought one since it seems like we’ll be staying here for quite a while.”
“Insane.”
The flex was on a different level. Dohyun earned points quite well himself, but the scale was so vastly larger that it was laughable to compare—as Dohyun, Hanalin, and even Jiyuchan marveled, the two other Yongin Clan members standing behind Hezway furrowed their brows.
They found the Dohyun Party’s behavior somewhat unpleasant, but since Hezway was present, they couldn’t say anything and remained silent.
Dohyun didn’t particularly pay attention to such types anyway, and above all, he wasn’t making it obvious—only Hanalin noticed to some degree. Seeing that even the relatively perceptive Jiyuchan didn’t catch on meant he was barely showing it at all.
In any case, Dohyun readily nodded in response to Hezway’s offer.
“Of course! We’d be grateful for that.”
“Yeah. It feels a bit awkward to be indebted, but if we’re going to work together going forward, that’s definitely better.”
“I agree too.”
As Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan responded so enthusiastically, Hezway nodded with a relieved smile. She seemed to have been worried in case they were displeased.
As the Dohyun Party moved on without incident, Hezway quickly guided them to their building.
It wasn’t far from where the ship was docked, so we arrived quickly, and I murmured in admiration as I looked at the structure.
“Magitech engineering really is incredible.”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement at my words. The building Hezway called hers seemed like a natural fusion of modern architecture and medieval construction, and it looked superior to anything on Earth.
I thought it was a fantasy world, but I’d call this more of a fusion-punk aesthetic?
I wondered if perhaps other buildings were like this too.
“Buildings like this are extremely rare.”
“There aren’t many even in Baul.”
“Is this landmark-level architecture?”
It made sense that such buildings weren’t common. The civilization level was mostly what people typically imagined as medieval fantasy, after all. Since only a few Superior Races had achieved advanced civilization levels, buildings like this wouldn’t be frequent.
As I continued to marvel and entered the building’s interior, another wave of admiration burst forth.
The various magitech applications created effects similar to Earth buildings, which was genuinely fascinating. In fact, some sections were so advanced through magic that they surpassed Earth’s technological capabilities.
“Wow.”
As I expressed such admiration, Hezway smiled slightly and spoke.
“Look around as much as you’d like, and I’ll give you a communication device. Rest for now and we’ll gather again in a bit. We’ve also searched quite far, so we should probably rest a little.”
Hezway said this to be considerate of Dohyun’s party who had caught the villains, but naturally, Hanalin and Jiyuchan didn’t really need rest, and Dohyun wasn’t tired either, but the Dohyun Party wasn’t the type to simply reject such consideration.
It seemed like consideration, but on the surface, Hezway also said she needed to rest a bit, so the Dohyun Party accepted and replied.
“Sounds good, see you later then.”
“See you soon.”
“See you in a bit.”
“Right, I’ll contact you via the communication device. See you then.”
“….” “….”
Though Hezway said so, her subordinates behind her didn’t even greet them and curtly withdrew following her.
Employees working in the large building guided the Dohyun Party to their rooms and explained the building’s various functions.
After looking around at various things, I spoke awkwardly.
“I thought the Ilseong Guild Building was amazing too… but this isn’t even comparable.”
“Right?”
“And did you see the Sparring Hall earlier? It’s interesting how even though it’s a Safe Zone, they made it practical so you can actually feel damage.”
“It doesn’t make sense that you don’t die in a Safe Zone but still feel damage.”
“The technological prowess is incredible.”
Everyone marveled at the sight, each offering their own exclamations of wonder, while I found myself marveling at something entirely different.
[Analyzing the magically-engineered building.]
[Successfully analyzed the blueprints.]
[With these blueprints, I can recreate the building using 「Celestial Mechanics [SS+]」.]
‘This is absolutely insane.’
Where exactly did the limits of Analysis end? I shook my head in disbelief at the thought. Just selling these blueprints and magical engineering knowledge to Ilseong Guild would net me trillions, wouldn’t it? True, it was still too advanced for Earth at the moment, but surely there would come a day when I could sell it?
Contemplating such distant possibilities, I nodded contentedly to myself.
Having seen everything the building had to offer, I wondered what to do next, but decided rest sounded better. After unpacking my belongings in my assigned room, I told myself I’d see everyone again once the communication device signaled us, and the Dohyun Party each retired to our respective quarters.
* * *
While the Dohyun Party was still touring the building, Hezway and his two subordinates were withdrawing. One of the two subordinates, whose expression remained sullen, posed a question to Hezway.
“…Was there a particular reason for bringing in those humans?”
Though his tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, Hezway, as if he’d already anticipated this, nodded in understanding.
However.
“It was my decision, so don’t question it.”
“…Understood.”
“I doubt they possess the necessary strength to hunt Davy Jones.”
At his subordinate’s words, Hezway’s eyes gleamed sharply as he regarded them both with a question.
“Are you suggesting my judgment was wrong?”
Despite the sharpness in his gaze, his voice was clear and refined, yet the ferocity contained within it carried the full might of a dragon’s presence, causing both subordinates to tremble.
“N-no, of course not.”
“That could never be the case, sir.”
Yet despite their words, the two subordinates couldn’t help but think otherwise. Hezway knew of Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan’s past and was well aware of their exceptional potential, but they were not.
Especially since Hanalin and Jiyuchan were concealing their true strength through the subtleties of concealment, making it even more impossible for them to gauge their abilities.
Dohyun was even more so.
‘I’m uncertain about those two, but that human in the middle is different.’
‘I sense nothing from him whatsoever.’
The Yongin Clan had no need to conceal their magical power, so they tended to believe that what appeared on the surface was everything. This misconception arose from the fact that if they sensed nothing, they couldn’t even conceive of someone being powerful. Hezway, however, was not so limited.
Rather.
‘Even I cannot detect him.’
I held Dohyun in high regard. Though I deliberately attempted to sense him, Dohyun remained completely imperceptible, and even Hanalin was only partially visible to me.
As for Jiyuchan, since he wasn’t a Mage, he was almost entirely visible, but even I couldn’t fully see the hidden aspects of him. Thus, it was undeniable that all three were exceptionally skilled. Because of this, Hezway wanted to say more to his subordinates, but refrained.
‘They’ll find out soon enough anyway.’
If they were to challenge them or request a sparring match without my knowledge.
‘They’ll regret it on their own.’
With that thought, I recalled the traces of battle from where I’d met Dohyun earlier, and my body trembled with a thrill.
‘At the very least, I should open their eyes if they’re blinded by tribal prejudice.’
Of course, I was also considering providing sufficient compensation to the Dohyun Party for such efforts.
