Chapter 196: The One Who Ruined Maikang Village
The situation isn't all that complex.
Just as the old woman said, everything started with that pair of traveling merchants and their apprentice.
Before that, the villagers held gratitude and reverence for the hot spring.
They had long known about the healing properties of the spring, but the reason behind it remained elusive.
The pool contained ordinary hot spring water; however, when transported elsewh...

Chapter 195: Silent Village
Logically, at this time, even if there were no adults, there should still be some children playing outside. But the village ahead was eerily quiet, unusually so. Had something unexpected happened inside?
Hua Mi's eyes flickered with a fiery glint as he gazed toward the village. There were no apparent abnormal magical fluctuations, yet an eerie and desolate atmosphere shrouded the village. The spaces between houses, the roads, all seemed somewhat disor...

Hua Mi rode on the back of a deer, dashing along the path, aiming to reach the village before sunset.
The first half of the journey comprised mostly wide plains, with occasional undulations, but the distance allowed for an overall smooth ride.
With ample space like this, they could really pick up speed.
The latter half became rugged, a narrow dirt road flanked by scattered rocks.
Following the principle of taking ...

"Back then, during the Ice Age, I remember you expressing your views on the massive invasion of monsters from the north in front of the ministers. Your passionate speech left a deep impression on me.
"At that time, I was thinking, when would I ever be able to speak as eloquently as you."
Karen reminisced, wearing a faint smile:

This was the alchemy workshop Karen had prepared for him.
It didn't look fancy from the outside, nor was the interior space particularly large.
However, the equipment inside was top-notch.
"If I were a real alchemist, seeing this scene would probably make me cry with excitement... But alas, ...

There was no time for them to adjust their formation, not even time to hesitate.
Eight knights swiftly charged forward, wielding weapons surrounded by holy light, breaking into the enemy ranks!

Raon's first anniversary event was about a month away. To ensure a successful event, Soomnori's cooperation was essential. And for that, a smooth development environment was imperative.
Switching platforms from PC to Raon meant that all the development progress made so far was reset to 0%. Sure, there was a demo version of Raon that Mintendo sent from Mantla, but honestly, it was far from enough.
