268. Bismar Island 1
“What the hell is going on…”
The cultists couldn’t believe it.
It was because Kang Seung-hyun, who was supposed to be in a deep sleep under the influence of Zale gas, was standing on his feet and smiling instead of falling asleep.
“That’s for the same reasons as you.”
“what?”
“You drank gas and stood still.”
grasp!
Kang Seung-hyeon responded and threw the knife at the believer’s neck.
“You bastard!”
Shindo quickly activated his defense skill to block the attack, but
Chaeeng!
The knife shattered the shield as if breaking a window and pierced the believer’s throat.
Fu-wook!
“I can’t believe it…”
Shindo fell back as it was.
“The power definitely went up.”
The disbelief stat currently possessed by
Kang Seung-hyun is Lv.
“It’s all thanks to the Church of Simua Rize, so I’ll hit it with my fists with gratitude.”
Kang Seung-hyun moved his gaze toward the church members scattered on the floor. One was stretched out and put in a warehouse, but the other is still breathing.
“It took a lot of work to bring you here.”
As you may know by this point, Kang Seung-hyun had never been asleep in the first place.
The reason is that he drank a stimulant made from jalle leaves the moment the gas burst.
[Zale Leaf Tea]
[Tea made by boiling the leaves of the Zhale tree.]
[Slightly sour taste. It tastes better if eaten cold.]
[It nullifies the effect of zale potion for a certain period of time when taken.] [
You can immediately wake up a sleeping person by drinking zale potion.
] .’
Thanks to this, unlike the other passengers who collapsed on the spot, Kang was able to ignore the sleeping gas and move.
If Alec had stayed in the room according to his fortune, he would have arrived on the island without incident, quietly sleeping like everyone else.
‘As expected, heading to the cargo compartment was the correct answer.’
It’s not necessarily a good thing to come without anything.
Those who are ambiguous like fortune tellers are up to interpretation.
‘I also got a lot of useful information.’
Alec was a more competent colleague than I thought.
The person concerned may be asleep without even knowing that the gas is spreading.
‘This must have been drunk by members of the Church of Simua Rize and guards like Ji-ah Lee. So all the passengers are asleep, but they are fine.’
It is confirmed just by walking around the ship where the gas is spreading.
‘But Lee Ji-ah didn’t say anything. If it were me, I would have hidden it on purpose, but I really didn’t know.’
Apparently, the guards didn’t seem to know that they drank stimulants, that they were resistant to sleeping gas, and that sleeping gas spread in the first place.
‘Because he is an outsider, the church deliberately hid it. He must have secretly fed the stimulants. It’s because they’re just people stuck in the cargo hold for the entire voyage anyway.’
It was also a darker church than I thought.
It seems that the gas ejected from the cargo compartment was for cargo disinfection.
Thanks to this, the security team became just dark idiots under the lamp, not knowing that there was an uproar on the ship and that the passengers were being taken away.
‘By the way…’
Kang Seung-hyun looked around lightly.
At first glance, it is an old-fashioned prison made of stone, but if you turn on the [Observation Eye] and look at it, you can see the information message along with the strange light.
[Magic power is sealed when entering this area.] [Magic sealing
stones are planted throughout the prison
.]
Magical Ban Prison.
As the name suggests, prisoners trapped inside are unable to use their skills because their magical powers are sealed.
‘No matter how proud I am of a dimension mover, as long as I use magic, there’s no way to break it unless I hit it with a normal blow if I’m imprisoned in that prison.’
So, physical dimension movers somehow have a chance, but magic dimension movers have no hope until someone rescues them.
‘Well, it’s a story that has nothing to do with me.’
Of course, to Kang Seung-hyeon, the magic barring prison is no different from a normal prison.
In terms of difficulty, it is easier to escape than a normal prison.
‘Then let’s start soon.’
Fuck!
Kang Seung-hyun threw the low-level follower he had just defeated into prison. The believer who hit the wall was scattered like garbage in the prison.
By the way,
‘Let’s borrow some clothes.’
Seunghyun Kang stole the uniform he was wearing and put it on.
In fact, the reason he entered prison while acting at best was to disguise himself as a member of the cult.
‘Because it’s much easier to get a pass than to break the barrier.’
According to Ijia, there is a barrier on Bismar Island.
-As soon as they arrived on the island, they were caught in the defense and smashed.
-It seems to have spread all over the island.
If so, there is a high probability that there are not only defensive barriers but also barriers that hold back outsiders such as the illusion maze.
‘Probably Jiah Lee’s alter ego exploded because she didn’t have a name tag or a church uniform.’
Usually, there are many cases where the barrier free pass effect is applied to the clothes of the members.
Perhaps the name tags of the passengers would have a similar effect, but they would have a narrower range than the members of the church.
‘After all, to investigate a closed group, it’s most effective to infiltrate by disguising as a member of that group.’
Kang Seung-hyun, who put on a hood, even stole the glasses that the lowest-ranking follower was wearing and put them on.
“Now all that’s left is… someone to pretend to be me instead of me?”
Seunghyun Kang doesn’t have the [Disguise] skill.
So even if you say disguise, it’s all about putting on a hood and wearing glasses, so there’s a high risk of getting caught if there’s even the slightest suspicion.
‘If it’s known that I’ve escaped from prison, everyone I meet will ask to remove the hood.’
However, if you make a fake, you can operate without suspicion for a few hours.
baek!
Pak!
Seunghyun Kang slapped the face of the fallen believer.
When his face was so swollen that even his parents couldn’t recognize him, he put on his own clothes and put him in a corner of the prison.
‘This completes the dispatch of a pinch hitter.’
I think this would be enough for a day.
Kang Seung-hyun put the fake Kang Seung-hyun in jail and walked out of the room with a confident step.
-“Kang Seung -hyun said he finally caught?”
“It’s all cool inside. Let’s go see each other later.”
As I passed through the hallway, I heard the believers talking. I thought the voice was familiar, but they were all believers from the Port of Karon who had suffered from Kang Seung-hyeon for the past week.
“Gather up the food waste!”
“Good! Let’s go and pour it!”
“I’ll go and spit. Dog chew! ”
‘Actually, I’m here.’
Seunghyun Kang laughed at them and passed them by.
Seeing that the person passing right next to you doesn’t recognize you, you probably won’t notice unless you take off your hood and reveal your true identity.
‘All the passengers are locked in the cabin.’
As I walked around the ship, I could see the sleeping passengers through the windows.
‘Kim Ho-jung and Alec… aren’t there after all.’
I stopped by the dorm room just in case, but Kim Ho-jung and Alec were nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps the two of them are also imprisoned in another dungeon.
‘Originally, if a colleague was captured, it would be right to go to rescue him… but he’ll escape on his own.’
It would be nice to get help from colleagues, but wouldn’t a true ‘enjoyer’ like to escape on their own?
At least Kang Seung-hyun thought so.
Alec, in particular, seemed like he would somehow come back alive even if he was thrown into the middle of the sea.
‘Well, Kim Ho-jung isn’t an idiot who enjoys it, but that doesn’t matter.’
Anyway, if you kill a dimension mover by any chance, that would be hastening the order of the Seymua Rize Church.
‘Let’s leave that side and go gather information.’
Kang Seung-hyeon walked around the ship and collected information.
‘The highest ranking person on this ship right now is Bishop Deyard.’
The guy read the potential abilities of the passengers using Seymua Rise’s authority, [The Eye of Selection], and classified them by rating them.
‘Most of them are powerless commoners, but is it because they can sometimes find useful gemstones?’
If that’s the case, you just have to use the [Spirit Eyes] in the first place and pick only the talented ones and take them.
‘There must be a reason for not doing that.’
For example, in order to use [The Eye of Selection], the target must be asleep.
‘And the adventurers I met at the Horseshoe Inn in the first place were never good enough to become advanced adventurers.’
Seeing that even those guys came back incredibly strong, I wonder if Seymua Rize has the power to grow people.
Kang Seung-hyun guessed this.
‘But the fact that there are missing people means that there are people who have failed to grow.’
It’s not like you can just grow up, it seems like there are some conditions.
‘Is this much I can find out from a ship?’
It seems that the rest of the information can be found only after arriving on the island.
-“Im here.”
“Ohh finally!”
Four hours after leaving Karon Harbor, the Simua Rize docked at Simua, the only port on Bismar Island.
Compared to the big city Karon, it is very crude, but it is equipped with everything.
“You worked hard to come a long way.”
When Dayard and the others got off the ship, the leader of the First Apostolic Order of the Simua Rize Church, Laiha, led the followers to greet them.
“It is an honour.”
“It is an honour.”
The congregation, including Bishop Deird, knelt down in unison.
Raiha’s head nodded with a satisfied face and stood them up.
“So where are those thugs?”
“Here it is.”
When the bishop signaled, the congregation dragged three people.
One is a man wearing a robe and glasses.
One had fluffy white hair with bangs covering his eyes so that his face could not be seen properly.
The other was a man in a white coat who had been beaten so badly that his face could not be recognized.
The teacher looked at the three and wrinkled her face.
That’s also true, because the religious leader hasn’t been able to rest properly for the past week because he’s been dealing with letters of complaint from Charon’s followers.
“It’s these trivial things that got in our way.”
“What are you going to do now?”
“Instead, lock them separately in the basement of the palace.”
good.
The priest opened the fan he was holding and said.
“Giving everyone a ‘fair’ opportunity is Simua Rize’s teaching, so we should give them a chance as well.”
“All right.”
As soon as the bishop sent his gaze, the believers began to carry the three people on their carts.
“These idiots are handsome!”
“So who messed with the church?”
“But who is this kid? My face is so swollen that I cannot recognize it.”
“well? The kids who guarded the prison must have seen it.”
And the person in charge, Kang Seung-hyun, joined the group and moved the fake Kang Seung-hyun together.
