110. Red Road Hideout 1
“This is the entrance to our hideout.”
“Since his name is Red Road, I thought there would be a red carpet.”
Red Road No. 2, who went inside, stretched out his hand.
Koo Goo Goo.
The stone door opened with a loud noise.
“That was an automatic door.”
“It’s wider than I thought.”
The Red Road Hideout was a fairly gigantic cave. At least enough to accommodate dozens or hundreds of people.
“I can’t believe there was a cave like this in a place like this.”
“I had no idea.”
The Balik couple also muttered with surprised faces.
This cave seems to be a secret place that even the natives of Tracotti Village do not know about.
“Oh, please wait here for a moment.”
“I have to explain to the kids inside.”
Red Road No. 1 and No. 4 entered first, asking for understanding. The rest of 23567 glanced at Seunghyun Kang nervously.
Shoot Aaaaaa!
Just in time, the rain poured down with a loud sound.
If I had been a little late, I would have been wandering in the pouring rain.
“It’s raining heavily.”
“Ummm, I don’t really have good memories of rain.”
The two of them were muttering leisurely.
Jerk, Jeop, Jeop.
After a while, the thieves inside the hideout showed up. Everyone looked very nervous, but they didn’t attack blindly, perhaps because they had heard the explanation.
“Are you guys the…guests the recon team talked about?”
“My name is Seunghyun Kang Healer.”
At this time, a man came forward and spoke to me. He, like the other members, had bright red hair.
“I heard about the situation. My name is Rosen.”
The man who introduced himself as Rosen looked at Kang Seung-hyun and said.
“Honestly, it’s difficult… because we’re a band of thieves wanted by Kamar. It’s a little hard to bring outsiders into the hideout.”
“I’ve already come this far, so what’s the difference?”
“That’s right…”
Rosent murmured with a deep sigh.
He also wants to refuse, but
‘Seeing as he invaded the thieves’ hideout and asked to stay, it must mean that he is an extremely strong adventurer.’
If you refuse, the hideout will be destroyed as it is.
He thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Are there… wizards in your party?”
“There are no wizards.”
“Then… it will be fine.”
After muttering something softly,
“I’ll lend you a room where you can stay. On the condition that you leave as soon as tomorrow morning and don’t hand us over to Camar.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party readily agreed to stay.
“I thought so from the beginning.”
“I can’t enter Kamar anyway because of the closed barrier.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Right now, Kamar is busy resolving the Mage Tower Crisis and its aftermath.
There would be no time to worry about this gang of bandits.
“Everyone come this way. I will guide you to your room.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party followed Rosent.
As I walked down the winding cave road, several members of the Red Road bandits stared at me.
‘Hmm…’
But when Kang Seung-hyun turned his head and looked at him, he hurriedly lowered his eyes and avoided his gaze.
What I felt there was not a sense of vigilance towards outsiders, but an unknown nervousness.
“That’s what I was thinking about earlier.”
Kim Ho-jung, who was walking beside him, opened his mouth with a serious face.
“Is that guy number one here?”
“Ask with a serious face at best.”
Seunghyun Kang looked at Rosent walking in front of him.
He didn’t have the force to be a boss.
‘It’s like a voice that lacks confidence. Like the nervous attitude.’
He is not a person who will lead a group. Especially if it was not an ordinary group, but a group of thieves made up of upstarts.
“That guy is not a leader. There is no bowl for that.”
“Well, he felt more like the owner of a rural general store rather than a bandit boss.”
“But I don’t think it’s a pony.”
You can tell that just by looking at Rosent’s eyes from the thieves.
The Red Road gang was clearly a group of people in their 10s and 20s, but that guy was in his 40s no matter how you look at it.
“He must be someone who has something to do with the captain here.”
– Jerk, jerk, jerk.
After walking along Rosent, we arrived in front of a small rock cave. Apparently, the Red Road gang dug burrows all over the caves and used them as rooms.
“You guys can use this room. It’s not that large, but it’ll be enough to lie down and sleep.”
“thank you.”
Inside the burrow, instead of a soft blanket or bed, the floor was covered with straw bales.
Kang Seung-hyeon and Kim Ho-jeong immediately thought of a chicken coop.
“It’s like a bird’s nest.”
“Sorry, this is our captain’s taste…”
“Whatever it is, it’s better than sleeping in the rain.”
The visuals aren’t good, but I’m not in a position to worry about that right now.
Kang Seung-hyeon called the party into the cave.
“Then rest in peace. I hope the party gets better.”
“thank you.”
“Oh yes.”
Rosent, who was about to leave, came back as if he remembered something.
“I hope you stay in your room and don’t come out.”
“Only in the room?”
“First of all, it’s a little difficult for outsiders to wander around the secret hideout.”
‘I was thinking of going around needlessly.’
“Since we also have circumstances like this…”
Rosent seemed to have something to say, but soon shut up. The other thieves were watching Kang Seung-hyeon’s eyes.
‘As expected, these guys are hiding something.’
Somewhere in this hideout, there is something that should not be discovered by outsiders.
Kang Seung-hyun interpreted Rosent’s words as follows.
‘Well, let’s watch for now.’
No matter what, the Red Road gang let Kang Seung-hyeon and his party stay. With that in mind, I decided not to move right now.
‘Because I have work to do now.’
After organizing his thoughts, Kang Seung-hyun spoke to the Balik couple.
“I’ll check Rudy’s condition first.”
“yes yes!”
Daisy showed Rudy in her arms.
Her complexion was still unfavorable, but the worst was averted by wrapping herself in a thermal blanket.
“I’ll have to light the fire first.”
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the Red Road reconnaissance team.
“Somebody get some firewood!”
“I will bring it!”
“Light a fire!”
I just looked at it, but everyone started to prepare themselves.
‘It’s nice because it’s comfortable.’
Kang Seung-hyeon took out a barrier carpet for rest.
This one doesn’t have a warming function like Kim Ho-jung’s blanket, but it will help Rudy recover.
“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong.”
“yes.”
Kim Ho-jeong injected magic into the carpet.
Then the magic circle started to work and emit a soft light.
flutter.
Kang Seung-hyeon spread the rug over the straw.
Roaring!
“I made a fire!”
Meanwhile, a bonfire was lit.
When the bandits set up a reflector in front of the fire, they were able to collect the escaping heat.
“It’s warm.”
Rudy’s face brightened a little as the subtle warmth spread out.
At this point, it seems that the hurdle has been passed.
“Is there anything else you need?”
“Everyone’s clothes are wet, so please lend me some clothes to change into. Four for adults and one for children.”
“yes! All right!”
After a while.
Bandit Member 6 has arrived with crisp new clothes.
It was the bright red uniform worn by the Red Road gang.
“The only clothes in our hideout are uniforms for members.”
“I guess.”
It wasn’t a design I really wanted to wear, but considering it was a jjimjilbang outfit, it was worth wearing.
Seunghyun Kang received the Red Road uniform.
“You also keep spare uniforms in your hideout.”
“That way, when the clothes are damaged or a newcomer comes in, we pay right away.”
“We are not newcomers, but we can wear them well.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party headed to the locker room to change clothes.
“Wow, these guys’ towels are red too.”
“The concept is so awful.”
“Poisonous, poisonous.”
Kim Ho-jeong wiped her face with a red towel.
“Something like red tissue makes me feel bad…”
“I’ll just use a homemade bandage.”
As I took off my damp clothes, my wrists caught my eye.
It was the part that had been bitten by Belloto Sangae the other day.
‘It healed nicely.’
Now it was clean without any scars.
It was so clean that it didn’t seem like he had ever been hurt.
‘Compared to him, Mr. Kim Ho-jeong…’
There were still scars all over his body.
Originally, there were no minor scars.
‘I guess I have better resilience than others.’
Kang Seung-hyun was exceptionally fast in recovering from wounds.
It also had good regenerative power, so it didn’t leave even a trace of a scar.
‘Usually it’s normal to have minor scars left.’
-After changing clothes, the two went out of the changing room.
“Wet clothes are dried over a campfire.”
“I will. Otherwise, it will stink.”
Back at the rock den, the Balik family was looking after Rudy.
“How is Rudy?”
“It has improved a lot.”
“He’s conscious, so let’s feed him warm soup and stamina potions.”
“All right.”
While the Balik couple prepared the meal, Kang Seung-hyun looked at Rudy.
His blood color was much better than before.
[Detect heat]
Whoa!
Let’s check the temperature right away.
[351℃]
I could tell that my body temperature had gone up quite a bit.
At this rate, normal body temperature will be restored.
‘I can use it now.’
[Cure Judgment]
Kang Seung-hyun used [Cure Judgment] on Rudy.
When the carpet of the barrier of rest was added to this, the body began to recover rapidly.
“I can rest easy now.”
“thank you. What would have happened without the teacher?”
“After dinner, the two of you should rest a bit.”
“All right.”
The Balik couple thanked them and resumed preparing the meal.
‘I don’t think I need to worry about tonight.’
Kang Seung-hyun went to another bonfire to dry his wet clothes. There, Kim Ho-jeong was sitting and drying her robe.
“If this was an inn, we would have laundry service…”
“I can’t help it. It’s too trashy to ask for laundry when you’re only staying overnight.”
“If that’s the case, start by beating them to put them to sleep.”
“I’ll leave the laundry tomorrow at the Tracotti Inn.”
iron puck.
Kang Seung-hyun hung his wet clothes on the drying rack.
The weather is not good and it is deep in the cave, so it will take time to dry.
“Are you leaving as soon as you get to Tracotti tomorrow?”
“no. I need time to rearrange. You should stay for at least a day.”
Kang Seung-hyeon consumed more potions than he expected due to the fight against the wave parasitic plant. There is plenty of magic potion, but other potions only have one set at most.
“Yamae Healer is a healer who lives on potions. We have to replenish the potions that have run out.”
“Then I’ll give you my potion. Although there are not many.”
“I will write well.”
Kang Seung-hyun tried to take over the potion Kim Ho-jung gave him.
Degururr.
“uh!”
At that time, Kim Ho-jung accidentally dropped a bottle of potion and rolled away.
“I already have tremor….”
“A mistake, a mistake!”
Kim Ho-jeong jumped up and ran to pick up the potion. Fortunately, the potion didn’t break and didn’t go very far.
Kim Ho-jung bent down to pick up the potion.
‘huh?’
As he bent down, he noticed something strange on the floor.
At first, I thought it was just a stone, but
‘What is this? Is it a sculpture?’
Looking closely, I could tell that it was a sculpture made of stone.
It’s also in the form of a bug that I’ve seen a lot of places.
