Possessing Nothing Novel (쥐뿔도 없는 회귀)

Chapter 115 - Heoju (4)

After listening to the information, Lee Sungmin crushed the grey crystal ball and blew the powder into the wind.

Baek Sogo was alive. He had already learned that from that old beggar of the Wandering Sect, but he heard something new from Erebrisa.

'You say she left the Murim factions?'

He heard that her resignation was quite abrupt. Baek Sogo had declared her withdrawal from the Murim factions and said she was leaving the city of Cron and heading South. Eria was too large to pinpoint the exact location where she was headed, but just by looking at the South of the map, if she was heading south from where Cron was...

'She must be worried about me.'

The distance from Cron to the Dungeon was very long. They were teleported to Cron from the Dungeon in an instant using the scroll, but it would generally take months to get from Cron to the Dungeon in a conventional manner. It would take just over a month assuming that she ate and slept and drank Recovery Potions like water to keep using One Thunder.

"Is it possible to send a letter to Baek Sogo?"

"Sure."

Neville nodded and replied. Looking at Neville, who could appear at any place at a moment's notice, the concept of 'distance' didn't seem to matter to Erebrisa's brokers.

"Is it possible to move me to Baek Sogo's location?"

"It is impossible."

It was a question he asked just in case, but Neville shook his head as expected.

"We are not bound by the restrictions of space. However, that's not the case for you. If you move through space the same way we do, you will not be able to withstand the turbulence between spaces, and your body will be destroyed."

Neville told him with a serious expression.

"I can get you a Long-distance Teleportation Scroll, but it's not very convenient. You can usually only use it to move to preset coordinates. Besides, such scrolls are very expensive. Teleportation scrolls are expensive because it lets people buy 'time' to move around."

"Then how long would it take for the letter to be delivered?"

"It won't take long. I can do it myself."

Neville shrugged and replied. Upon hearing that, Lee Sungmin thought about Erebrisa, the Information guild, and the brokers who belonged to it. Their informants could move through space at will.

Even for Lee Sungmin, who was already at transcendence, he could not see through Neville's strength.

"Just what the hell is Erebisa?"

"It's an intermediary guild."

Neville answered without any change in his expression. It seemed like he wasn't going to give him the true answer.

"Can I get a pen and paper?"

"I'll get it."

Neville moved his hand up, placing it into a gap in space and taking out a pen, along with a thin sheet of paper.

"Are you lending these to me?"

"... I'll just give it to you."

Lee Sungmin sat down on the floor with a smile. He placed the nib on the paper and considered his thoughts for a moment. What should he say? Assure her that he's okay?

I'm sorry to only send a letter as an explanation.

I'm okay. I'm not hurt, and I escaped safely.

It's a relief that you are also alive. Baek Sogo, I don't blame you. I went to the dungeon willingly, in the hope that you would survive.
