line.
“Thanks for your efforts.”
“Phew, I thought I was going to die from trembling.”
Coming out of the branch manager’s office, Matiana sighed with a relieved face.
“Was my acting good?”
“sure. I didn’t notice at all.”
“Because I was really nervous that I might be caught.”
Of course, what happened earlier was a play organized by Kang Seung-hyeon and Matiana to attract the adventurer’s guild this time.
“As a result, it was a huge success.”
Seunghyun Kang recalled the incident with a satisfied smile.
It was a fun time to create lines with a firm will to only fuck Liwen and direct the situation by matching the words with Matiana.
“What a great idea!”
‘It would be the worst situation for them!’
Thanks to this, Liwen’s branch manager, or the Adventurer’s Guild, had to cooperate with the construction while spending his raw money rather than accepting bribes from the Magic Association.
“Honestly, there were a lot of things I was worried about, but thanks to Healer, everything was resolved. What is it?”
Originally, half of the construction cost was to be borne by Kamar and the other half by the Magic Association.
However, as Kang Seung-hyeon attracted the Adventurers Guild, the construction cost that the Magic Association had to bear decreased, and with the budget secured in the process, the construction speed and quality could be increased.
“So when will construction be possible?”
“Considering the budget secured this time and the network supported by Camar… Would it be okay to start tomorrow?”
Matiana burned her will.
Usually, the adventurer’s association should hold it for about a year, but now the association is actively supporting it by paying money rather than checking it.
“We will be able to finish the building within a month at the latest! I promise you that you will become an investigator of the Magic Association.”
“One month.”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled softly.
In just one month, a new force to check the church will come into his hands.
‘If that happens, I’ll be able to start a full-fledged iconoclastic campaign.’
Just as the temple needs donations, some preliminary work is required to destroy the holy relics.
Points for activating the [-ICONOCLASM-] button, a distribution network that will supply base capital and relics for collecting relics.
‘And even the disbelief stat to break the holy relic lightly.’
In particular, it is not difficult to obtain a holy relic if you have money, as ‘Iber’, the current No.
‘There’s a lot of work to be done. It’s not that difficult to raise money, so should I start with disbelief?’
In order to raise the distrust stat, you have to feed the cult, so Kang Seung-hyun, a wild healer, can raise his stats just by doing good healers as he always does.
In a word, ‘stat up with hobbies!’ Feel the same.
‘I’ll have to think about the detailed plan slowly with my colleagues.’
Kang Seung-hyun, who organized his thoughts, opened his mouth.
“Until it is completed… no, even after it is completed, please take good care of it.”
“Don’t worry!”
He took the position in charge of the Magic Association by fooling the Adventurers Guild with the [Crimson Emblem], but since he is a concept wizard with no magical powers, it is difficult to actually sit in the position in charge of the Magic Association.
Kang Seung-hyeon is a fake wizard, but it is crucially because managing the Magic Association requires a lot of mana.
“If I give up my position in charge here, the adventurer’s guild will put in their wizard right away…
”
“Until the Magic Association is firmly established, I will have to act as the boss.”
That is why Kang Seung-hyeon worked with Matiana to plan this kind of play.
There was nothing wrong with the nature of the Azul Continent because it involved the Adventurer Guild as part of the plan rather than deceiving them.
“I also wanted to build a practical career, so it worked out. It’s nice to be able to see Healer’s face often.”
Matiana said with her cheeks blushing.
It’s common.
“Get a good rest today. You’ve been having a hard time.”
“It was really hard… I couldn’t eat properly and I wore very poor clothes.”
“That’s the most expensive western commoner’s uniform.”
“Now, if you work at the Magic Association branch, you won’t be dispatched as an investigator for a while, so you won’t have to pretend to be a beggar.”
As Matiana is a mage born in a noble family, it seems that her job as an investigator has always been difficult.
“It gives me goosebumps when I think about it again. A talented person from the Magic Association like me being captured by a criminal guild… What would have happened if it wasn’t for Healer-sama!”
“Come to think of it…”
As I listened to Matiana, a strange thing came to my mind.
‘How did they catch Matiana?’
The ‘Divine Line’ guild is also quite strong, but if you are an investigator of the Magic Association, you may not be able to defeat them, but you may be able to escape from there.
At that time, Matiana didn’t have any colleagues to save, and even if she took another passenger hostage, she would have just ignored it due to the nature of the investigator, who values her mission.
However, he could not escape or even resist and was captured.
‘This is definitely strange.’
Even my favorite weapon was taken away.
There must be some reason.
“Hmm, Investigator Matiana, I think I could have escaped with my skills. Were they that strong?”
“That was… a little strange.”
“What about it?”
After thinking for a while, Matiana turned the jewelry staff lightly and said,
“At first, they had the upper hand, but what did those children do? All of a sudden, the mana in their bodies was blocked and they couldn’t use magic.”
“Have you lost your magic power?”
“So they were robbed and even my beloved weapon was taken away.”
It’s not that there isn’t a way to make mana unusable, but it’s not common and the risk is high, so it’s rarely used in practice.
‘Those kids had that kind of technology?’
If there was such a thing, I would have used it right away when fighting them. However, looking at the fact that it was not used, it seems that there is a condition or that it is a skill that can only be used ‘once’ in the first place.
‘If you think about it, it’s like the overuse of divine skills on the subject of wizards…’ As
expected, the private line guild is hiding something.
And there is only one human being who can solve all these questions.
‘Should I visit you for a bit?’
-chin!
“You are you?”
“What is it, did you get healed by a healer?”
The place Kang Seung-hyun is heading to is the Adventurer’s Guild.
To be precise, it was to meet Gilma Gahen of the ‘Fight Line’ guild, who was detained by the adventurer’s guild.
“shit! damn it!”
Right now, his injured body is fine, but he is in a state where he can’t use magic or even the divine skill he was boasting about due to magic blockade measures and a lot of dark magic.
“If only it wasn’t for you!”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Aaaaaaa!!!”
rattle! rattle!
Gahen grabbed the iron grate and shook it.
It seems that it is going to be handed over to the Magic Association soon, so it seems to be more rampant.
Although he was expelled for committing a crime, he was originally a member of the Magic Association, and one of the victims of this incident was an investigator of the Magic Association, so the Magic Association directly stepped forward.
“When I researched that friend, his record was very~ splendid?”
I started reading the report Matiana had brought.
Distribution of illegal research materials, trade in rare protected species, theft of magic, leakage of biological experiment technology, obstruction of research, damage, etc. He had done all the crimes that a wizard would do.
“It is also non-recyclable garbage.”
“If I’m taken this time, I’ll never see the light of day again.”
“…”
“Trash should be thrown in the trash after all.”
Gahen gritted his teeth and glared at Matiana, but she ignored him very lightly.
“The punishment from the Magic Association is hardly known, but what about that friend?”
“On the surface, it is life imprisonment, but Healer knows this industry too. It will most likely be used as ‘material’ for research.”
“It’s very pitiful.”
Kang Seung-hyun approached Gahen with a smile on his face, showing no pity at all.
The guy shuddered and held onto the bars.
It seems scary to die even for a vicious criminal.
“Since you feel sorry for me, can you lower the rope?”
“…will you give me a hug?”
“I have a few questions for you. Do you have a rough idea of what to ask?”
[Crimson Emblem]
A red mark appeared on Kang Seung-hyun’s hand.
Gahen looked at Kang Seung-hyeon and Jeung-pyo alternately with a slightly surprised face.
“I am quite close with Lord Kamar. There is also a back on the Crimson Mage Tower side. Your connections with the Magic Association are right next to you.”
“…If I tell you the truth, are you going to release me from here?”
Gahen asked with alert eyes.
He must be desperate because he wants to avoid being taken to the Magic Association at all costs.
“If you give me a satisfactory answer.”
“…Ah Okay. I’ll tell you the truth, keep your promise.”
Gahen nodded and opened his mouth.
“There is a potion that allows you to use divine skills just by drinking it. Even a non-religious mage like me.”
“A potion that allows you to use divine skills?”
“I don’t know the details either. We got it from the guys who contracted human trafficking with us for this job.”
The effect disappears if you don’t drink it regularly, but once you drink it, it’s a miraculous potion that allows anyone to use divine skills.
“He said it was [Miracle Water].”
“Wow, the naming sense is subtly good!”
“It is definitely against the law to be a wizard using divine skills. Wizards’ weakness is dark magic, but they have a means to counter it…”
This is the reason the ‘Death Line’ guild grew explosively in a short period of time.
“I drank almost all of them and will have to get a new one, but there must be a few bottles lying around in the hideout near Hind Village.”
“If you analyze it, you might find out something.”
“All right? I told you everything I know!”
rattle! rattle!
Gahen shook the iron bars and shouted.
“Now keep your promise! Get it out quickly!”
“promise?”
“If you tell me the truth, I’ll let you go!”
“Ah, I made that promise. By the way…”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled and opened his mouth.
“Didn’t I just say this? ‘If you give me a satisfactory answer, I’ll let you go.’”
“What what?”
“I’m grateful that Mr. Gahen worked hard…but it wasn’t a very satisfactory answer from what I heard. That’s why I can’t release it.”
“you you! You son of a bitch!”
“What should you have said clearly from the beginning? But I will put the information you gave me to good use.”
bang!
Gahen finally realized that he had been tricked.
He was furious and struck the iron cage.
“I must have cheated on myself! Are you still an adventurer!”
“Thank you for the compliment. I hear that often.”
“Aaaaaaaaa!!!!”
The Azul Continent is a town with low basic human rights, but that means that the human rights of criminals are also garbage.
Kang Seung-hyeon had no intention of helping Gahen from the beginning.
“It goes without saying that the rope that comes down to a bastard like you is a rotten rope in the first place. You need to know the subject.”
