145. Wismel’s Left Hand
Adventurers Guild’s Relic Appraiser only selects skilled people who can break most of the seals.
‘It’s not that there aren’t guys who go by parachute, but basically, they have a strong image of ‘even if their personality is rotten, their skills are certain’.’
So, the fact that the relic appraiser belonging to the Adventurers Guild failed to unlock the seal means two things.
‘Either it’s a ploy to steal the item pretending to have failed to release the seal, or it really failed.’
Seunghyun Kang thought for a moment.
Usually the former is more likely, but now he is sitting in the position of branch manager, albeit on a temporary basis.
‘Artifact appraisers are the ones who stretch their legs while looking for a place to lie down. Unless I’m crazy, I won’t aim for the branch manager’s request.’
In other words, it means that he really failed to break the seal.
Organizing his thoughts, Kang Seung-hyun picked up the box.
“Why did you fail?”
“That… takes a long time to explain.”
“Then briefly summarize.”
“The seal on this box is not in the usual shape.”
According to the relic appraiser, when he first saw the box, it had a normal seal on it.
So, the moment he opened the seal with a light heart, a complex hidden seal appeared with dozens of barriers intertwined.
“A complex form of seal?”
“Yes, in our industry, it’s called a thread seal, but it’s a vicious guy who gets tangled up more complicatedly if you try to solve it clumsily.”
The relic appraiser muttered, rubbing his forehead.
Thread sealing is one of the most difficult sealing methods, so it is said that there are few people who can search all over the Azul Continent.
“In addition, it seems that this seal was made several hundred years ago. It’s not the way it is these days, so it’s a lot more difficult.”
“Then is there no way to solve it?”
“It is not that there is no way, but it is not easy.”
In order to unlock the thread seal, there is no choice but to find out the exact order or cooperate with multiple relic appraisers.
“Of course, the only person who knows the order of sealing is the person who applied the seal, so the latter is the only practical option.”
“So you’re saying we need more Artifact Appraisers to open this.”
“Well, as you already know, I’m the only relic appraiser in the Red Forest…”
The relic appraiser muttered with an awkward face.
“There are no relic appraisers other than Kamar around here. Tracotti is a special case.”
Originally, relic appraisers are one of the most valuable talents and can only be found in large cities or towns with a floating population.
“In addition, it is not an ordinary seal, so I wonder if it would be difficult for one or two relic appraisers.”
“It must be tougher than I thought.”
First of all, it is not easy to hire a relic appraiser, and even if you manage to gather people, the next problem is.
‘The problem is that as the number of relic appraisers increases, the possibility of stealing items increases.’
Even if you pay a lot of money and hire them, there is no guarantee that they will do the job properly.
It’s not that there aren’t conscientious relic appraisers like Siyel of the Knights of Catailer, but usually relic appraisers are either obsessed with expensive relics or scum who like to cheat others.
‘I don’t know what’s inside, but I’m sure it’s something appraisers covet.’
Seunghyun Kang looked at the wooden box in his hand.
‘Actually, you don’t have to open this box.’
However, having a seal of this size means that the items inside are by no means ordinary.
‘At this point, I’ll have to open it somehow. I wonder what’s inside.’
Kang Seung-hyun, holding the box and thinking for a while, activated [Observation Eye] once again.
[Sealed Box]
The only information that appeared was still that.
It is true that [Observation Eye] is a fraudulent skill, but you cannot obtain information about sealed items until they are unsealed.
‘As expected, nothing has changed now.’
Kang Seung-hyeon spoke to the relic appraiser with [Observation Eye] activated.
“Remove the seal on the box.”
“Again?”
“yes.”
“All right.”
The relic appraiser nodded and began to open the seal. Again, a bright light emanated from the box.
[The box is being unsealed.]
[The second seal is hidden in this box.]
[A hint to unlock the second seal is hidden at the bottom of the box.]
Then a new informational message appeared from the box.
As the relic appraiser unlocked the first seal, information about the hidden second seal appeared.
“Check the bottom of the box.”
“floor?”
“I think you should try [evaluation].”
The artifact appraiser turned the box over and looked at the bottom.
You can’t see anything just by looking at it, but when you use the [Emotion] skill, a hidden sentence appears.
“Is the radish sentence hidden?”
“What letter is it?”
“Wait a minute…ah!”
The appraiser exclaimed in amazement.
“This is the order of sealing the thread. It must be!”
Somehow, the person who sealed the box hid the order of sealing at the bottom.
“If I do well with this, I think I can solve it by myself! The order of sealing is not the answer!”
Even the most complicated seals can be broken if the correct sequence is known.
The relic appraiser opened the second seal with enthusiasm.
Dig! Dig!
“Whoa!”
In the middle, red light came out, but
it was tak!
[The seal on the box has been completely released.]
“It’s opened!”
“Thanks for your efforts.”
Finally, all the seals were broken and the locked box was opened.
‘What the hell is inside.’
Kang Seung-hyun hurriedly checked the inside of the box.
Click.
Inside the box was a severed left hand. He had clenched fists and had strange tattoos on the backs of his hands.
“omg!”
“what is this.”
At first I thought it was a mutilated corpse.
However, upon closer inspection, it resembles a human hand at first glance, but the atmosphere felt was not human.
“Shall I [appraise] that too?”
“yes. I need to find out what this is.”
“All right.”
The relic appraiser [appraised] the left hand of something.
“This is… a relic!”
“A holy relic?”
“The name is [Wismel’s left hand]. I’m not a priest myself, so I don’t know the details, but I’m sure it’s filled with divine power!”
In other words, what Kang Seung-hyun found was the hand of a being with strong divine power.
I’m guessing it’s the remains of a divine being.
“Hey, you’ve acquired a great item!”
“If it’s unexpected, it’s a request.”
“It’s not easy to find holy relics because of the religious people, but…”
The relic appraiser smiled as he suppressed his greed. If the customer in front of me hadn’t been for Kang Seung-hyun, I would have switched to another one long ago.
“If you’re going to sell it, our appraisal center is willing to buy it at a very high price…”
‘Why was this thing abandoned in the forest?’
The relic appraiser was talking about something, but Kang Seung-hyun didn’t pay attention to that and looked at [Wismel’s left hand].
‘Sacred relics are usually found in churches or ruins… anyway, where the gods are messing about.’
-The church’s power is weak in this area.
Clearly, the area around Pitsta Lake in the Red Forest is one of the regions where the power of the Church, which has been dominated by the Mage Tower for a very long time, is very weak.
It is not a place where holy relics can be found.
‘Even though the Tracotti people don’t particularly believe in God. What happened?’
Kang Seung-hyeon was puzzled and put [Wismel’s Left Hand] into his inventory. It’s annoying to have a relic appraiser stare at you.
[Achievement achieved!]
‘Huh?’
At that moment, a message appeared indicating the completion of the achievement.
[Accomplishment Achievement: Remains of □ㅎ□□]
[Achieved when obtaining the remains of □ㅎ□□.]
‘This is…’
Unreadable text as if the letters are broken.
The content is slightly different, but it’s unmistakable.
‘It’s the same as Freeah’s crossbow!’
It was the same situation as when Fria’s crossbow was put into the inventory by the manager’s order.
Seunghyun Kang immediately opened the achievement window.
[Accomplished Achievement: Relic of □ㅎ□□]
[Achieved when acquiring the remains of □ㅎ□□]
[Accomplished Achievement: Remains of □ㅎ□□]
[Obtaining the remains of □ㅎ□□ Accomplished.]
Even this time, the initial consonants of the invisible letters appeared because they were broken.
‘Is the second letter initial [ㅎ]?’
It seems that every time you collect a specific item in this way, you can unlock a hidden letter.
‘But if you’re going to tell me, you don’t have to tell me from the first letter. Why does it start with the second letter?’
So, I still couldn’t figure out what the hidden letters meant. It is unclear whether there is a space there or not.
‘If it’s the same pattern as the crossbow this time…’
Kang Seung-hyun took out [Wizmel’s left hand].
Nothing much has changed so far, but the moment he presses the [receive reward] button.
Wow!
[Wismel’s left hand] emitted an intense light and disappeared.
★[Obtain the skill (Wizmel’s left hand)!]
And the missing left hand has been turned into a skill.
[Wizmel’s left hand]
[When activated, ‘Wizmel’s left hand’ is summoned.]
[When activated again, the summoning is cancelled.]
[The power of ‘Wizmel’s left hand’ dwells in your left hand.]
‘Description It’s almost like a crossbow.’
[Summon Wismel’s Left Hand]
When the skill was used, red energy radiated from Kang’s left hand, and a tattoo identical to the one on [Wizmel’s Left Hand] appeared on the back of his hand.
‘This is a skill that treats my hand as Wismel’s left hand.’
[Achievement achieved!]
As Kang Seung-hyun acquired the skill [Wizmel’s Left Hand], additional achievements appeared.
[Accomplished Achievement: Wismel’s Roulette]
[Achieved when Wismel-related skills are acquired]
[※Wizmel’s Roulette has been added to the status window]
[If you use Wismel’s Roulette, you can strengthen or You can pick up related skills and items.]
‘As expected, roulette comes out this time too.’
[※Others (wizmel’s roulette 5 times free ticket obtained)]
Of course, the reward is a free Wizmel’s roulette ticket.
The annoying kindness of the manager to spin the roulette quickly as soon as you get it stands out.
[Consumes 5 free tickets for roulette.]
‘I got something, so I have to use it.’
Tarrrrr!
[※ Roulette Result]
☆[Stat (Black Magic Resistance +1)]
☆[Stat (Black Magic Resistance +1)]
☆[Stat (Earth Property Enhancement +1%)]
☆[Stat (Earth Property Enhancement +1%) ] Likewise, as the roulette was spinning
, I got
