206. A simple theatrical
rune cracker.
A party of 8 mid-level adventurers and 1 upper-middle level mercenary adventurer, and although their careers are short, they are evaluated as ‘up-and-coming players’, so it’s not enough to be ignored anywhere.
Fuck!
Puck!
“Quiet…”
‘What kind of healer is so strong…’
‘My life… This is the first time I’ve
experienced humiliation like this …’ I was beaten and rolling on the floor.
Even on a stick made by rolling paper.
“Why are you hitting me with something like this…”
“It’s not a serious fight, it’s just a punishment. Hitting them with a fist hurts the person they hit, and it hurts my heart when I hit them.”
Of course, no one believed that sound.
‘This is why you’re a grumpy healer…’
The seniors’ advice to never associate with Kang Seung-hyun passed through the head of the fallen priest healer.
-You might feel that he’s easygoing… but that’s all acting! never get over it!
-That psycho bastard likes to fuck others more than money?
-Never make a bet… Never!
Heed the advice of seniors.
All of those words were heartfelt advice from experience.
“Let’s move slowly. If we delay here, the sun will set.”
“Okay…”
“Damn it, I’m not the kind of person to be treated like this…”
So, the ‘Rune Cracker’ party didn’t even produce a proper result, and it ended up being the worst part of getting beaten up by Kang Seunghyun and doing chores. I was getting a taste of the situation.
“I’m so glad you all came.”
“Are you being sarcastic?”
“No, I am serious. As you know, there are only three of us in our group…”
Then Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth with a soft smile.
“The day is slowly going down, but it is quite a distance from here to the village, and there are not one or two people caught.”
“That’s… that’s right.”
“I was just wondering if the three of us could safely escort these people to the village. Thank you so much for coming.”
Anyone who knows Kang Seung-hyun well would know.
It was a commercial face used when committing fraud.
“Well, it’s a little tough to take all these people with the three of us!”
“It’s a shame we came on time!”
“Let’s finish cleaning up before the monsters appear and let’s go!”
The ‘Rune Cracker’ party, which made them feel good when they were moderately raised, moved with enthusiasm.
‘This is why rookie parties are easy to deal with.’
Even if you’re ticklish, if you give me a few compliments, you’ll smile like you’ve never done that before.
It is proof that these are youngsters with short careers.
“Give me sickness, give me medicine… A healer is a healer.”
“I’ll tell you next time.”
“it’s okay. Do whatever you want.”
Alec, who was behind him, smirked and approached.
He was looking curiously at his palm.
“Actually, I thought it was spinning at first… but hyung, aren’t you really kidding?”
Healers cannot heal black magicians.
Only a black magician can cure a black magician.
This was the common sense of the Azul Continent and an immutable law that never changes, but Kang Seung-hyun casually broke common sense and overturned the law.
“Black magicians like me can’t heal themselves without being a black priest. Don’t you know, too?”
Among the few healers, an existence with tainted magic and divine power that appears with a very, very rare probability.
The official name is ‘Dark Priest’.
A rare job commonly referred to as the Black Priest.
Due to their nature, they have poor social awareness and are regarded as thorns in the church, so there are very few black priests who usually live in the pitch-black magic tower and wander around adventuring.
“That’s why guys like us take care of themselves when they get hurt, and when they get fatally injured, they just go to the goal… What on earth is Hyung-ssi?”
Just like normal healers can’t heal black magicians, black priests can’t heal normal people, but
“he’s a healer who doesn’t know how to heal.”
Only Kang Seung-hyun was a wild healer who did not use divine or magical powers, so he was able to heal both to his heart’s content.
“I don’t know what it is, but if I stick to my brother, I won’t be able to get treatment and die. We ask well.”
“I also ask you to take good care of me often.”
Seunghyun Kang replied with a smile.
Just looking at this one, it’s because a blood mage like Alec is the perfect job to use when playing with healers.
‘I can fuck more healers.’
Even today, Yamae Healer’s small pleasures have increased.
– “Now, I think we can leave the rest to them…”
While the ‘Rune Cracker’ party was tidying up, Kang Seung-hyun and his party set off first.
“Let’s go, Inspector Matiana.”
“Please make it to the village safely.”
It’s just stealing VIP customers.
“Thank you so much for saving me. I was really starving! Didn’t they even feed them properly?”
“If there had been a cook in the party, they would have served us a meal…. You should have a meal in the village.”
“No, thank you for this too!”
Investigator Matiana drank the stamina potion that Kang Seung-hyun gave her with a happy face.
He said all he ate was a few potatoes.
grasp! Pak!
As time is time, Kang Seung-hyun and his party arrived at the north gate of Hind Village, defeating the monsters that appeared midway through.
“This is the first time the Hind Village has looked so beautiful!”
“It’s not much to look at, but it’s an amazing neighborhood.”
“Let’s go quickly and have a drink.”
“{Wait a minute! Take me too?}”
the black beast shouted in bewilderment.
“{Eh? Hyung won’t you drink?}”
“{Going into the village like this now?}”
Kang Seung-hyeon and the others know that the black beast is Kim Ho-jung, but to those who don’t know, it’s just a shadow monster.
“{What will the guards think of me!}”
When thinking with common sense.
There is no way the soldiers will let go of the person who is trying to bring the monster to the village, but
“Oh, aren’t you Healer Kang Seung-hyun!”
“How much is this? How have you been?”
“Go ahead and get some rest!”
Such problems can be solved through networking.
It was because the guards of Hind Village were often indebted to Kang Seung-hyeon, whose treatment was cheap.
“Everyone has worked hard.”
“Look!”
“{what? Are you going to let me through?}”
So, Kang Seung-hyun didn’t care at all whether he brought monsters or captured people, and just let them pass.
“Well, I think our village will pass anything if it’s a healer. Even if I had brought Kim Ho-jung, I would have thought he would be a summons.”
Ziggs nodded in agreement.
Because Kang Seung-hyun was an icon of trust.
“Is that a pet? Cute.”
“What is your name?”
“Can I call you a thug if you haven’t yet?”
“Please.”
“Hello, how are you?”
In fact, Hind village guards were not wary of the black beast at all.
On the contrary, there was a soldier who patted his head with kindness.
“#^5#…&^@#@???”
“{Hyung says he’s a thug.}”
“%!??!&*■&△▶%$$#[email protected]!!!!”
It was the moment when human rights disappeared.
The black beast jumped up and down in regret, but
said, “Anyway, I hope you passed safely.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s go and have a drink.”
Colleagues had no intention of protesting.
‘The person’s name is a gangster… Wouldn’t it be better to sleep in the forest?’
Only Jiggs sympathized with Kim Ho-jung.
“Thanks to all of you, I was able to come this far safely.”
Upon arriving at Hind Village, Investigator Matiana smiled with a very relieved face.
“I want to go quickly and have a meal and soak in the warm bath water. Even when I came all the way here, I only ate cheap bread to hide my identity.”
“You must be very tired. Can I ask you to do just one thing?”
“Sure! What is it?”
“It’s not that difficult.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and looked at the Adventurers Guild building.
“I wanted you to do a simple play.”
-‘what? Something doesn’t feel right?’
Head of the Hind Village Adventurer’s Guild.
Parachute of Parachute branch manager Li Wen was biting his nails nervously.
‘Yes Kang Seung-hyun! It’s because the child came back! I thought it was good that I haven’t seen you for a few days…’
For the past two weeks, branch manager Li Wen had been living with a taste of happiness, but when he heard the news that Kang Seung-hyun had returned earlier, his happiness was shattered.
‘I’m going to take sick leave and go to a recuperation somewhere. Yes, get a room in Camar, which is safe, has good water, and has a beautiful view, and sends someone to Tracotti, a village next to it, to order some sculptures to bribe the old people…’ “The
branch manager has come to visit.”
“Hey, can’t you see I’m busy? Say no to me!”
“He’s from the Magic Association.”
“Evil Magic Association!”
Liwen jumped up from her seat.
It might be other junk, but the Magic Association was a VVIP customer, so I couldn’t ignore it.
“What are those magicians saying about this village? Rather, why did you come to me without contacting me?”
“That’s…”
Bang!
“What the hell is the Hind Village Adventurer’s Guild doing?”
At that moment, Inspector Matiana burst open the door and came inside.
She had a very angry face.
“Are you from the Magic Association?”
“This is Matiana Buce!”
“Matiana-sama, I don’t know what’s going on, but calm down…”
“Does it look real? I was kidnapped by a crime guild and almost killed while coming here!”
“Are you kidnapping me?”
Liwen quietly asked the soldier next to him.
“Hey, is that true?”
“yes. A report came in saying that the criminal guild ‘Fighting Line’ raided the wagon and trafficked people.”
“This human trafficking?”
Liwen’s face turned pale.
This is because if an accident happens to a VVIP customer in the area in charge, the reputation of the branch will drop tremendously as lightning strikes at the headquarters.
“But the fact that you came back safely… isn’t it because our adventurers rescued you?”
“Is that important?”
bang!
Assistant Mattiana hit the table with a furious face.
“That guild! They openly had a hideout inside Hind Village! Does this make sense?”
“There was a hideout in Ma Village?”
“if! Didn’t you join hands with the crime guild on purpose to raise the branch’s performance?”
“Oh misunderstanding! It can’t be!”
“If that’s not the case, you’re saying that the Hind branch’s ability to maintain public order is poor, right? Yes?”
“That’s…”
“So you’re neglecting such an evil guild, aren’t you?”
Li Wen, the branch manager, couldn’t refute because he was speechless.
It’s because I’m from a parachute with no skills.
“Hey either way, I can’t trust the Adventurer Guild anymore.”
Matiana said firmly and handed out the papers.
“What is this?”
“Hind is a town where many adventurers stay, so wizards often come and go. You know?”
“Yeah you know.”
“Until now, the safety and rights of the mages here were entrusted to the Adventurers Guild, but from now on we will take care of them.”
“That means!”
“Construction of the Hind branch of the Magic Association. Of course you would agree, right?”
“It’s the branch of the Magic Association!!”
Liwen almost screamed.
If a Magic Association branch is created in the town you are in charge of, the wizard’s income will decrease, and you will not be able to receive the protection fee paid by the Magic Association as a wizard protection face.
‘My money! My money!’
As much as this, the Adventurers Guild worked hard to flatter and entertain the Magic Association, preventing the establishment of a branch.
That’s the real reason why there are so few Magic Association chapters compared to Adventurer Guild chapters.
“Should we go to the Adventurer Guild Headquarters and review this case by item? Or should we approve the association branch and end it quietly?”
“I see.”
But as the situation was, Liwen had nothing to say.
Because it was better than getting caught.
‘Yes, it is customary for us to decide who is in charge of the Magic Association. It might be better if I put one of my own in it…’
Branch manager Li Wen smiled at the thought of accepting a bribe, but
said, “There is a person in charge.”
“yes?”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“doesn’t exist.”
The bribe flew right in front of my eyes, so I kept my mouth shut.
Seeing this, Matiana said with a happy face.
“Ah, the branch manager knows him too, so don’t worry too much.”
“Someone I know?”
“You just came in.”
As soon as he finished his words, he said,
“Nice to meet you. My name is Kang Seung-hyun, the wizard.”
Seunghyun Kang entered with a smile.
