40. Healer who repaid the favor
“What are these guys doing? Give me all these nice things as a reward.”
the next morning. As promised, the Adventurers Guild paid Kim Ho-jung’s portion of the reward.
“What did you get?”
“A bloodstone thirsting for blood.”
Kim Ho-jung showed the blood-colored jewel he received as a reward.
“You got something good.”
An item that gives an attack power increase buff whenever blood is absorbed. Performance is not only performance, but also a gem amulet with high value as a jewel.
‘I thought he would take care of it, but he saved it with great care?’
It reminded me of Liwen, the branch manager, swearing all over the warehouse.
“By the way, how do I do this?”
Seunghyun Kang took out the Holy Water of Dawn from his inventory. I haven’t even opened the bottle, but I can feel the powerful divine power.
“Is that the Holy Water of Dawn? It sure looks expensive.”
“It’s holy water made by priests of the Ayber Church every morning.”
A valuable Holy Beast that the Adventurers Guild also targets. It is a valuable reward obtained by solving this case.
“Anyway, since this is our joint reward, I think we should split it in half. Any good ideas?”
“Hmm… can’t you make this into an arrow and shoot it?”
Kim Ho-jeong flicked her fingers as if pulling the trigger of a crossbow.
“Why don’t you just use Mr. Kang?”
“Are you okay though? Mr. Kim Ho-jeong has nothing to gain.”
“Honestly, the teacher caught it all by himself. This is enough for me.”
Kim Ho-jung pointed to the bloodstone he was holding. They said it was better than selling it and making it into money or items.
“I’m grateful, but it’s a bit like using it as an arrow.”
“why? Can’t you use it like a divine skill?”
“I haven’t thought of that either…”
The arrows created with the skill will disappear over time. That’s why all the arrows made from Freea’s bond pouch are disposable.
“It’s a bit much to blow and consume such precious holy water with a one-time special move.”
“Ah… once you use it, it disappears.”
“If you’re going to use it, it’s better to buy cheap holy water and use it.”
If you sell the Holy Water of Dawn, you can buy hundreds of normal Holy Water and still have money.
“It’s a waste. To think that such a good thing should be kept for ornamental purposes.”
It was a time when the two of them were wasting time chatting.
“emergency! Monster invasion from the east!”
“Next north south! Monsters are invading!”
An Adventurer’s Guild employee ran to the camp square and shouted.
“Adventurers who can afford it, please participate in the camp defense battle!”
“It’s coming at last.”
“Anyway, you monsters…”
The adventurers began to rise from their seats one by one.
camp defense.
This is the final highlight of the monster surge period. This is because the monsters must break through the adventurer’s camp in order to attack the Hind Village.
“We have to block it here to make the village safe!”
“Of course, if you are a limbless adventurer, you should do it!”
It was also the reason the adventurers hunted monsters around the camp for several days. If I didn’t reduce the number in advance, I couldn’t handle the monsters that came on the last day.
“coming! Everyone ready for battle!”
The camp staff, who were watching the perimeter of the camp from a lookout tower, blew a trumpet. The monster attack has begun.
“Kiki!!!!”
“Kehee! Kihihi!!”
Frenzied monsters screamed and charged. The adventurers who were preparing in advance took out their weapons and started fighting the monsters.
Due to the nature of the Velotto Mountains, the monsters that appear during camp defense are wild beasts. Although there are many, there are no monsters with powerful skills.
“I’m bored, but we’ll go too.”
“okay!”
Kang Seung-hyun and Kim Ho-jeong participated in the camp defense.
As the two of them ran to the south exit,
“Kang!!!”
“Ka-gang!!”
As if they were waiting, a group of red foxes attacked.
[Summons Freea’s crossbow]
Kang Seung-hyun immediately pulled the trigger and shot the red foxes.
Papabak!!
“Kahang!”
“Kang!”
The group of red foxes that attacked were hit by stone arrows and rolled down the mountain road. The movement is quite nimble, but it’s nothing compared to the Bellotto spread.
“I fought dozens of wild dogs that come back to life even after killing them, so it’s really easy compared to that.”
“Say that. Compared to the hard work yesterday, this much is chewing gum!”
Kim Ho-jeong grinned and held the bloodstone firmly in her hand.
Fu-wook!
A sharp jewel stabbed his palm, and blood gushed out.
[Vampire impulse!]
[Attack power increases for a certain period of time.]
The bloodstone that absorbed Kim Ho-jeong’s blood activated an attack power-up buff.
“Even if you get hurt, the teacher will treat you… It’s nice to not have to worry about medical expenses!”
Aww!!!
Kim Ho-jung swung his sword and attacked the foxes. Its attack power went up, so it was much easier to knock it down.
“I’ve cleaned up the rubbish mobs, and now all that’s left…
”
Time to deal with the boss monster.
“emergency! Gangseok Brown Bear Appears North of Camp! Gangseok Brown Bear Appears!”
A huge bear, probably three meters tall, approached the camp.
The bear’s name is Gangseok Brown Bear. This is the boss monster that leads the camp invasion.
“I’m going to sleep in a cave!”
“Let’s go north.”
Kang Seung-hyeon and his party headed north of the camp.
“Shoot!”
“Attack!!!”
The gathered adventurers were pouring an all-out attack on the river stone brown bear.
“I just need to defeat that guy!”
“Let’s all do our best!”
This is because if only the boss is defeated, the rest of the monsters give up the battle and return to their habitat.
[Pria’s bond pouch]
[Generates a stone arrow.]
Kang Seung-hyun pulled the trigger at the stone brown bear.
widely! Tadak!
However, the arrow did not pierce the skin of the Gangseok Brown Bear and bounced off. I think I’ll need a harder arrow to pierce his hide.
“Stone arrows won’t work.”
“I thought it would be so, so I prepared it.”
Freea’s crossbow was loaded with hard, sharp metal arrows.
[Pria’s Bond Pouch]
[Generates steel mole claw arrows.]
The identity of the arrow is a steel mole claw. It was made with items left in preparation for the camp defense battle.
PABABABABAK!!
When Seunghyun Kang pulled the trigger, a sharp steel arrow was fired.
Knock knock!
At first, I couldn’t pierce the leather and just brushed against it, but I kept attacking the same spot…
Aww!
Finally, the skin of the Gangseok Brown Bear was torn. The adventurers who saw it shouted in joy.
“The skin is pierced!”
“Let’s all aim for that road!”
“Concentrated attack!”
Ripped leather means that the defense has decreased. The adventurers attacked the torn hide.
No matter how powerful the Gangseok Brown Bear is, it can’t withstand this many attacks.
“Kuo uh uh ….”
The guy started staggering. It’s proof that you don’t have much stamina left.
“Sensei Kang!”
Kim Ho-jeong ran forward and swung her sword. His sword completely tore off the skin of the river stone brown bear.
“Big!!!”
Kang Seok Brown Bear swung his front paws and attacked, but Kim Ho-jung grinned and shouted.
“Now! Throw!”
“I’m going to throw it.”
Kang Seung-hyeon threw down his crossbow and pulled out a silver dagger. The poison had been applied beforehand, so the blue blade glowed black.
[Throwing]
Kang Seung-hyeon threw a dagger coated with poison at Kang Seok Buddha’s sword.
Fu-wook!
[Critical!]
[Status ‘Poisoned’!
]
The Gangseok Brown Bear cried out in pain and collapsed to the floor. Then the rest of the monsters retreated without looking back.
“I won!! I won!!”
“You did it! The defense was successful!”
“finished!!!!”
“I defended the village!”
The adventurers cheered as they saw the fallen Gangseok Brown Bear. At the same time, I wondered about the identity of the adventurer who threw the knife at the end.
“The last knife is crazy.”
“Is that party over?”
People who hit the last hit get noticed. Adventurers glanced at Seunghyun Kang’s party.
“It was he who pierced the skin earlier.”
“That man is not afraid. What if I get so close to a Gangseok brown bear and get hit and die?”
“Hey, those are the people at that party. The party that caught the spread of Bellotto!”
An adventurer shouted while looking at Kang Seung-hyeon and his party. Yesterday’s activity seems to have spread widely among the adventurers.
“Ah, it was worth rolling all night last night. Is proud!”
Kim Ho-jung seemed to be in a good mood and smiled.
“Adventurers, thank you for your hard work!”
This is the end of this monster eradication quest. The Adventurers Guild staff went all over the place giving thanks. Now, when the adventurers leave, the camp will be demolished and they will return to the halfway point where there was nothing here.
“Now let’s get ready to go to the village.”
“Today’s defense was easy.”
“It was easy because the rare monster was caught yesterday.”
“You get the reward from the village, right?”
After the adventurers finished organizing one by one, they started to leave the camp.
“We are going back too.”
“Is there anything missing?”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were also preparing to leave.
“huh?”
At that time, a ranger approached the Gangseok Brown Bear with a quiver.
“Retrieve arrows!”
And let’s stretch out our hands and use the skill
.
The arrow stuck in the body of the Gangseok Brown Bear disappeared without a trace.
Kang Seung-hyun approached him and asked.
“Is it an arrow retrieval skill?”
“yes. It’s a skill that picks up used arrows.”
The Ranger showed the quiver and said.
“Not all of them can be picked up, but only a few are picked up.”
Several arrows were contained in the quiver the ranger showed. Among them was the steel mole arrow that Kang Seung-hyeon used earlier.
“These steel arrows are arrows made with skills.”
“If the skill proficiency goes up, you can pick up arrows made with skills instead of normal arrows. Thanks to that, we can save on horsepower and arrows.”
The Ranger finished speaking and left.
“Oh, it’s a convenient skill… Picking up arrows is also a job.”
“With that skill, I can recycle the Holy Water of Dawn.”
Seunghyun Kang opened the status window.
It won’t come out in normal roulette, but there is a possibility that it will come out in relation to Freea’s crossbow.
[Accumulated points: 1900 points]
Thanks to hard work, the points were accumulated quite a lot.
Freea’s roulette is 50 points per round. You can spin roulette 7 times in a row.
“Eh? Can I play roulette? for that reason?”
“I have to do it. Even if it’s not necessarily arrow retrieval, you just need to acquire a similar skill.”
“If you ask for it, they will never give it to you.”
“I don’t know again.”
[Points are consumed.]
Kang Seung-hyun played the roulette wheel.
“I’m lucky, I might get out soon.”
-[※ Roulette result]
☆[Others (arrowheads +1)]
☆[Stats (arrow shafts +1)]
☆[Stats (additional damage +1)]
☆[Others (wooden arrows +1)]
☆[Others (wooden arrows ) +1)]
“Oh shit.”
When Kang Seung-hyun saw the roulette results, he cursed. This guy was just as trash as the standard roulette.
“It’s annoying that arrows come out, but what happened to the conscience of the arrow material?”
[Accumulated points: 400 points]
It wasn’t even turned once. This was the 6th time.
Let alone skill, even soul decisions did not come out in roulette. There was only a pile of crossbow arrows.
“I was obviously dry. Roulette will never give you what you want.”
Kim Ho-jung shook his head with a sad face.
“Just one last time…”
It was the moment Kang Seung-hyun gnashed his teeth and tried to spin the roulette wheel.
“Teachers!”
“huh?”
“That’s me! I! Keitel!”
Healer Keitel waved his hand and approached the two.
“I didn’t have time to say thank you properly. Thank you for the last job!”
“Are all your colleagues okay?”
“Thank you!”
That’s why it seems to be a smiling face.
“By the way, what are you doing? You have a bad complexion.”
“I ate all of them while gambling, but he still hasn’t given up.”
Kim Ho-jeong shook her head and said. I can’t explain the status window, so I’m in a hurry.
“Ah, even someone so strong can’t help but gamble.”
Keitel held Kang Seung-hyun’s hand tightly with a sad expression on his face.
“Then… I can’t lend you money!”
“I never asked to borrow it.”
“I should bless you.”
“blessing?”
“I am a follower of Nikamate, the goddess of luck.”
she exclaimed with a triumphant face.
Church of Nikamate.
Compared to the Church of Iber, it is a minority religion with very few adherents, but it is a group with many devotees.
“I will give you the blessing of Nikamate! Good luck to you!”
Keitel put the amulet in Kang Seung-hyeon’s hand while saying this. The amulet had Nikamate’s name and the church’s home base written on it.
“This is more like a business card than a talisman.”
“Since our denomination is rather small, we need to do missionary work whenever the opportunity arises, so we made the talisman like a business card.”
Due to its nature, many gamblers believe in the Order of Nikamathe, which follows the Goddess of Fortune. That’s why, whenever you see priests, followers, or gamblers, you hand over your business card.
“If you have this, a good hand will come out at the decisive moment! Cheer up! go for it!”
Keitel cheered for Kang Seung-hyun and went back to his colleague.
“I must have received Keitel’s heartfelt support…”
“That was business rather than support.”
“I will try one last time.”
[Points are consumed.]
Kang Seung-hyun played the roulette wheel using all the remaining points.
“Oops, have you used up all your points in the end? I’ll bet 100,000 gold if it doesn’t come out.”
Kim Ho-jeong shook her head and muttered.
Common sense would suggest that he had a piece of paper.
[※ Roulette result]
“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong.”
“why?”
However, Kang Seung-hyun, who was watching the roulette results, said with a smile.
“Should I give you 100,000 gold?”
