210. What I want to ask 1
Drizzle tak.
“It looks like the meeting will be long.”
“Damn it… I missed getting off work on time today.”
Soldiers waited outside the room while Branch Manager Li Wen held a trashy meeting with union staff.
These are soldiers under the direct control of the branch commander belonging to the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Even if it wasn’t for the money, I would have beaten you right away.”
“What is that guy’s money? I was the second born this time, so I burned my resignation letter.”
“Yesterday’s crumpled paper, today’s drinking glass… Tomorrow, something will fly.”
“If you are going to throw it, it would be nice to throw something like a potion.”
The job he was in charge of was escorting the branch manager and, of course, having the incompetent, trashy, corrupt branch manager as his boss, so he suffered a lot.
“We’re the only ones suffering because we met the wrong boss.”
“I know yeah.”
“Hey McCoy. Is the place you hit earlier okay?”
“it’s okay. It was just because of my negligence.”
The soldier who had been hit by a flying glass nodded. This kind of sight happens so often that I’m used to it now.
“If you avoid anything, you’ll be damned, so it’s better to end it with one hit. Still, not cursing is great, but…”
“By the way. Why did Liwen-nim bring in the cult?”
“that’s right. How are you going to handle the aftermath?”
Unlike branch manager Li Wen, who was always excited, the soldiers were not alone in their worries.
To attract the church to capture Kang Seung-hyeon.
It might sound like a nice idea at first glance, as you can get rid of the guinea pigs without spending a dime, but there’s one big problem.
“If the high-ranking priests are dispatched, the guys from the huge church will grow bigger.”
“It’s still a close game, but if the power of the church gets stronger here…”
The soldiers were worried about the growing power of the church.
Right now, the strength of both forces is similar, so it is a cooperative relationship, but it is not known whether it will continue to be a cooperative relationship even after one side becomes stronger.
“Again, only we suffer.”
“Hey, are you still going to be Kang Seung-hyun? That friend is about to be stamped into the Ayver Church.”
“Well… how do you beat the high priest when the priest is also hard?”
While all the soldiers sympathize with Kang Seung-hyeon.
“However, adventurer Kang Seung-hyun is the one who defeated dozens of undead Velotosan dogs.”
McCoyman, the soldier hit by the glass, didn’t think so.
“It’s not easy to deal with undead monsters without divine power, so even the church won’t be an easy opponent.”
“Well, we also ask the Church for cooperation when we catch undead.”
The soldiers who heard McCoy’s words nodded.
Certainly, considering what he has done so far, he is an opponent that should never be taken lightly.
“In addition, information came in that the other day, adventurer Kang Seung-hyeon won a one-on-one fight with an apostle.”
“what? Beat the apostle one-on-one?”
“Isn’t that a bit bluffing?”
“It must be the testimony of the Ayber Church priest who accompanied the party.”
“Are you really human?”
For this reason, Kang Seung-hyun’s reputation among Hind branch employees ‘when working as a healer’ is low, but ‘when not working as a healer’, Kang Seung-hyun’s reputation is quite high.
Branch manager Liwen hates both.
“It would be enough if I didn’t become a healer and just lived as an adventurer.”
“You don’t do healers to make money, you do healers as a hobby.”
“Because he’s a real bitch healer.”
As they didn’t know the real reason why Kang Seung-hyun was a healer, they thought he was a healer for the pleasure of his hobby.
Of course, 50% is correct.
“Someone said that adventurer Kang Seung-hyeon actually has so much magic that he doesn’t need to drink magic potion?”
“really?”
“Is that so? That’s why they say they only drink magic potions when they show their sincerity.”
“Was drinking stamina potions an appeal that I don’t need to use magic potions against people like you!”
“Aren’t you just crazy about stamina potions?”
“It wasn’t like that. To be honest, I don’t like stamina that much, but the branch manager bought me a stamina potion without even noticing, so I’m pissed off.”
Like this, it was an adventurer’s union in the Hind Village that spread all sorts of rumors about Kang Seung-hyeon.
“So the rumors aren’t true?”
“What rumors?”
“Why do you know? Rumor has it that he was the one who destroyed the headquarters of the ‘Zmayre’ Church two years ago.”
The Church of Zmayre was once popular, but is now one of the churches that have completely collapsed. The cause of its collapse has not yet been revealed, so it is often mentioned among people.
“It is also true that there was no record of Kang Seung-hyun until two years ago. Isn’t something plausible? It turned out that the church was killed and the identity was washed…”
The light brown haired soldier spoke rather seriously.
“what? Does it make sense? It must be just nonsense.”
“That’s right, even the Heretic Questioner can’t destroy the church alone.”
“There are no traces left now, but in its heyday, the ‘Zumare’ church was ranked 10th in the church rankings. There’s no way that such a great church would be ruined by a single adventurer.”
“I’d rather believe the words that Kang Seung-hyeon took the lord of Kamar as his target.”
Most of the soldiers treated it as nonsense and just laughed it off.
-“You must have ordered our portion in advance, right?”
“It will. I didn’t say anything, but Ziggs will understand my feelings.”
“I guess I didn’t.”
Meanwhile at that time.
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were on their way to the pub, expecting a fun drinking party.
“Ah, Healer Kang Seung-hyun.”
“huh? Why are you both out there?”
But for some reason, Ziggs, who should have gone first and settled down, was standing outside the tavern.
The black beast squatting next to it is a bonus.
“They say pets are not allowed.”
“No entry?”
“To be precise, you can enter the store, but you have to put it in a cage so that other customers don’t get hurt.”
“^%@%#$▽….”
The black beast was lowering its tail.
Even though he couldn’t understand the language, he seemed to notice that he couldn’t enter the bar because of him.
“They say you can’t stay at an inn without a cage… Maybe that’s good, right?”
“{I’m fine, so tie me to a stable somewhere and go have a drink by yourself…}” “{
Then we’re such trash.}”
After all, the answer is to sleep outdoors.
Kang Seung-hyun and Ziggs were contemplating.
“Everybody forgot my detective agency. From the beginning, I had planned to let Kim sleep there.”
“Did Mr. Alec have an office?”
“Because I’m a detective.”
“Then you can drink there too.”
Ziggs followed Alec with an expectant look on his face.
Of course, that expectation was shattered five minutes later when he found out that the identity of the office was a tent.
– “Congratulations on your safe return! Cheers!”
“Everyone did a good job today.”
Arriving at Alec’s tent office, the three of them had a drinking party with the drinks and snacks they had bought.
“{Even though I became a monster, I was hungry.}”
The black beast, which had been pretending to be a pet for the whole time, changed back to a bipedal form and drank alcohol inside the tent.
“{Alcohol is so delicious…}”
“{Please be at ease.}”
It seemed like I felt much more at ease because no one was watching.
“Wait, since there are 4 of us right now… can’t we register as a formal party?”
Alec, who was drinking, said with a smirk.
According to the rules of the Adventurers Guild, the minimum number of people in a group to be recognized as an official party is 4.
For reference, the official name for a group of 2-3 people is a team.
“Usually six, but the minimum is four.”
“yes?”
If you gather members and form a formal party, you will be able to receive better benefits than now, such as discounts when using the adventurer’s association service or receiving requests exclusively for a formal party.
In the first place, most adventurers form a party, so some dimension movers like Kang Seung-hyun, who prefer solo play, are a special case.
“Are you having a party? I have a lot of party names in mind. Like Monster Busters.”
“That’s a bit.”
“Ah… I’m not a member of Healer’s party. I’ve said it a few times, but I’m not an adventurer either.”
Ziggs listened and shook his head.
Somehow, he is accompanied by Kang Seung-hyun’s group, but his main job is not a village youth 1… but a puppeteer.
“Are you going to become an adventurer at this point? You have qualities!”
“I will politely decline.”
Alec invited him as if he had been waiting, but was rejected with a single knife.
“It was difficult to have been with you for the past few days, but to have to make this a job… What a penance. I can’t even die.”
“Compared to serving Elder Harvey as a teacher, I think living as an adventurer would be more comfortable.”
“I can bear that while looking at Master’s work.”
“Ah yes…”
Kang Seung-hyeon slipped away from Ziggs.
Ziggs didn’t notice and continued talking with Anju.
“There are things that I really enjoy working as a puppeteer, and the current situation of Tracotti makes it difficult to leave the village for a long time.”
“Well, it’s shit right now.”
“Since I got all the items Master asked for, I’m going back tomorrow morning. Thank you so far.”
He bowed his head and gave a light greeting.
It’s sad to break up, but it’s more cool not to catch the person who originally leaves.
“It’s unfortunate, but when there is a meeting, there is also a parting. Be careful and go back.”
“Well, with that carriage, it would be fine to go back alone.”
“Then I will go to sleep. Good night everyone.”
Ziggs left the tent and returned to the inn.
Even if he didn’t show it, it seemed he didn’t want to sleep in the tent.
“Hmm, Ziggs is gone too… Hyung Kim is sleeping in the corner, so should we stop drinking soon?”
“We can drink together.”
“Yes, you have to say that!”
Kang Seung-hyun poured a stamina potion into the glass, and Alec began to drink a mixture of various drinks.
“From now on, you can talk comfortably.”
“Ziggs is a good friend, but we also have circumstances…”
In fact, the two of them had been waiting for Ziggs to leave or go to sleep.
No matter how close they are, information about the status window or dimension mover Earth cannot be given to the citizens of Azul.
“As I said before, there are many things I want to ask you about Alec.”
“Different innocence! The same goes for this one.”
With those words, the two turned off [God’s Communication] at the same time.
“{Then, start with simple information.}”
“{Let’s exchange one by one.}”
