229. Goals and Reasons
Excuse me! I’m looking for a party…”
“Can you tell me the name of your party?”
“Oh yes! It’s called ‘a cup of green tea’!”
After that, Kim Ho-jeong, who arrived at a nearby village, put everything aside and headed to the Adventurer’s Guild.
Of course, it is to hear news from colleagues who broke up.
“The ‘green tea’ party requested by the adventurer was due to the recent situation in Skanakia village…” ”
Ah…”
I did it just in case.
Most of Kim Ho-jung’s former colleagues were found dead in the village of Skanakia. It seems that the ponytailed murderer has even chased down and dealt with the fleeing colleagues.
“Again, I’m the only one who survived…”
“Unless it’s a dimension mover, it’s common in this industry for normal adventurers to die.”
“Even if it’s common, I’m not used to it.”
Kim Ho-jeong bowed her head with a very sad face.
I don’t know the details because I haven’t asked yet, but because of the [Black Beast] trait, there must have been many times when all of my colleagues died, but I was the only one who survived.
“Ah, adventurer. wait a minute!”
“huh?”
At that time, the union employee who was reading the material called Kim Ho-jung.
“You said it was a ‘green tea’ party, right? There are survivors!”
“There are new survivors?”
“yes! I received the data this morning, so it seems that the data has not been reflected yet!”
A total of 8 members of a green tea cup party.
Except for Kim Ho-jung, six people were found dead in Skanacia Village, but only one person, ‘Tayurel’, succeeded in descending Skana Mountain.
“That guy is alive…”
Kim Ho-jeong sniffed.
Apparently he was the smartest party member at the party.
“At the time of the incident, Tayurell-nim thought that even if she died, she should inform other adventurers, so she didn’t go down the mountain and went to the Adventurer’s Guild building.”
At the time, the Adventurer’s Guild of Skanakia Village had already destroyed the tail, but it is said that there were several communication devices that were not broken.
“Tayurel said that after contacting the other branch about the situation at the time, he was attacked by the criminal and fell down. He was rescued by the Adventurers Guild staff who visited him afterwards.”
“structure?”
“I don’t know why, but it looks like the culprit didn’t kill him and kept him alive. The reason is still under investigation.”
I don’t know about the Adventurer’s Guild, but Kang Seung-hyun knew why.
‘When the ponytail was about to kill Tayurel, the black beast that resurrected at the right time beat him and ran away, so he couldn’t kill him.’
Kim Ho-jung was also unaware of this fact.
“Umm… Why did that bad guy let Tayurel live? Could it be that you liked Tayurell?”
‘How could that be?’
It seems that he really doesn’t know when he sees that he is walking on a wrong leg.
However, Kang Seung-hyun didn’t tell me the truth because he didn’t think it was necessary.
“So where is he now?”
“Currently, Tayurell-nim is receiving treatment at the Church of Iver.”
“The Church of Iver….”
“This is the village of Bricca. It is a pretty town.”
The Adventurer’s Guild staff handed out the data.
Tayurell was staying at the Ayver Church in the village of Bricca, a short distance from here.
“It seems that the injuries were quite serious at the time of discovery. But don’t worry too much because the priests with excellent skills will treat you.”
“thank you.”
After the story, the two left the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Hey, I’m glad! If you are receiving treatment, there is nothing to worry about! We’ll see you soon!”
Kim Ho-jung was delighted with a very bright face, but
“It will be difficult to meet you soon.”
Seunghyun Kang didn’t think so.
“huh? why?”
“Since the cost of treatment must have been greatly broken, aren’t you going to work as a slave in the Adventurer’s Guild for the time being?”
The Adventurer’s Guild does not provide free treatment.
Perhaps Tayurell is working as a member of the Adventurer’s Guild to pay off the church’s medical bills.
“Either he was digging for stones in a mine, or he was taken to a sea dungeon for fishing, or he was shunned by others and called for a long-standing request….
Once alive, take the money or make them fill it with their bodies if they don’t have it.
The Adventurer’s Guild is like that.
“I guess so. It’s going to be hard to find a request because all the kids are dead…”
“Perhaps even if we go to Brica Village, I’ll go to work and won’t be there.”
“Where are you still alive? If we pursue it diligently, we will be able to meet again!”
“Or is Kim Ho-jung paying bail? That would be faster.”
Even if you are working as a slave to the adventurer’s guild, you can regain your freedom right away if you win the lottery, get a rare item, or if someone miraculously pays off your debt.
“Bail money… it looks like Tayurell was arrested for committing a crime.”
“It’s a sin to not have money in this town.”
“Ah no matter… I also want to pay for the treatment, but I don’t have a single penny.”
Kim Ho-jeong sighed deeply.
Dimension movers are usually better than ordinary adventurers, but Kim Ho-jung was Kim Ho-jung.
“Then you have to work hard to make money.”
Kang Seung-hyun drank the stamina potion.
In any case, since you have to earn money to survive, there are many people who give up looking for a lost colleague and join a new party in the first place.
“by the way. All of the party members earlier were from the Azul Continent… What about the people you went out with on the first day?”
“We parted ways in the cave… the ceiling collapsed and we were avoiding it. I haven’t met you since.”
The road to the right wasn’t smooth either.
Ho-jeong Kim and his party, who entered the cave, met people from other starting points there, but when they arrived at the exit due to a monster attack or something like that, only some members were left.
“I didn’t come out together… but I’m sure he escaped by another exit.”
“Or they could have made an exit.”
In fact, some idiots couldn’t find a way out of the cave and just broke down the wall.
“Stop talking about the old days and move slowly.”
“okay!”
A temporary companion is a temporary companion, and Kang Seung-hyun had no intention of neglecting his main job.
“According to the information, it was said to be around here.”
Seruk.
Whenever he wandered around the village to find Kim Ho-jung’s group, he read the wanted list in his spare time and caught and handed over the wanted men.
[Class F wanted ‘Bengbang’.]
[Class D wanted ‘Panini’.]
[Class C wanted ‘Eirant’.]
[Class D wanted ‘Levin’.]
[All of them are Class D criminals. He is a member of the collective ‘Storage Keeper Jack’.]
‘I found it.’
I finally found this prey. They are idiots who run around in groups and play around.
Parbat!
Kang Seung-hyun threw the knife coated with paralysis poison as usual.
“Ouch!”
“Heuk!”
“Uhhh…”
The two F-class and D-class were hit by the knife and fell out, but
“Damn it! You’re a bounty hunter!”
The C-class, who seemed to be the leader of the team, quickly used his colleague as a shield and started running away.
“There must be. Kids who sacrifice their comrades and jump out.”
“What are you all about?”
“The person who catches these kids.”
flutter flutter.
Kang Seung-hyun spread wanted letters around him and pursued him.
ride it!
I ran hard, but even so, it was a C grade.
It was impossible to resist the chase of the dimension mover.
“If you surrender now, I will beat you gently.”
“Damn the rain!”
Driven to a dead end, Class C, as if there was nothing they could do, pulled out their weapons and rushed at Kang Seung-hyun.
“This is the judge!”
Whiik!
Grasp!
“Where!”
At that time, Kim Ho-jeong, who was hiding, threw herself and pushed the C-class wanted man over.
“Get out of the way!”
“Never get out of the way!”
In the gap between the two of them fighting over each other,
Kkap!
Kang Seung-hyeon took out a tough rope and tied him up.
“Damn damn…! I’m not the type to be caught in a place like this!”
“Not anymore.”
So, the D-level criminal group ‘warehouse keeper Jack’ was caught by Kang Seung-hyun and arrested within 10 minutes.
“Thank you, Kim Eui-jun!”
“I finally caught them!”
“Today’s work will be settled and paid at once. Besides, you’ve arrested all of the ‘Storage Keeper Jack’ guys, so you should get an extra bonus!”
After a while, the Adventurers Guild staff dispatched and dragged the 4 ‘Storage Keeper Jack’ and miscellaneous wanted men they encountered in the middle.
“Ouch….”
“Good job.”
“What did I do, Sensei Kang?”
“It’s obvious, so I didn’t mention it.”
Chow!
Kang Seung-hyun poured a stamina potion on Kim Ho-jung, who was lying face down.
“Yes, yes, Mr. Kang is the best!”
Kim Ho-jung laughed and stood up.
‘It’s so rare.’
When it was a black beast, it was so scared that it couldn’t move forward, and when it was a human, it was scared, but it never ran away.
Even though he must have been much stronger as a black beast than as a human.
‘I don’t think I can use the defensive thorn skill right now in human form.’
‘Perhaps being strong isn’t so fun, so I’m deliberately living my life with strength.’
So, isn’t that just a bitch?
Seunghyun Kang couldn’t understand.
‘Well, I’m comfortable and nice.’
Anyway, the reason Kang Seung-hyun hasn’t abandoned Kim Ho-jung yet and takes him with him is because he was comfortable when he was working.
‘Do chores, make me strong, let me earn points from injuries.’
I still can’t fight, so the only thing I know how to fight is my body, but what if I just don’t run away.
‘At this rate, it’s okay to go out together until we meet. It’s not a very rude answer.’
Kang Seung-hyun drank the stamina potion and calculated the reward he would receive this time and the money he had accumulated.
“How much can I set aside for Mr. Kim Ho-jeong?”
“me? I’m done! Rather, I have to pay…”
Kim Ho-jeong waved her hand and refused.
“I didn’t have any money yesterday, so I paid for the meal. Get it.”
“Thank you…”
“Then I’ll pay for the meal you lent me yesterday.”
“After all, plus minus zero! Did you just give it to me and want to take it away?”
“Originally, money is the one who enters and exits together.”
“My situation is the same whether in Korea or Azul.”
Kim Ho-jeong grumbled briefly and organized the inventory.
“Oh, come to think of it, Mr. Kang is saving money very hard… Is there a reason?”
The more money, the better, but in Kim Ho-jung’s eyes, Kang Seung-hyun was earning too hard.
Just today, Kim Ho-jung has earned an amount of money he has never touched before.
“Ah, that’s… it’s okay if I tell you something.”
“What is it? Would you like to buy a house?”
“It’s not like that…”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled and pulled out a letter.
“There is something I really want to buy.”
On the outside of the letter, the name {Church of Zumare} was written.
