181. What’s Next
“You think you know what’s going to happen?”
“Please follow me.”
Kang Seung-hyeon said this and headed towards the inside of the aisle.
“Let’s follow this for now.”
“It’s not just that I’m still here, and if something happens… Mr. Kang will solve it!”
The party looked puzzled, but there was nothing else they could do, so they followed Kang Seung-hyeon.
bruise bruise.
How long did they walk? After walking for a long time without stopping, Kang Seung-hyun and his party found a soft light emanating from the end of the road.
“It is light!”
As I got closer, I could see that this was the place where various clay artifacts, luminous stone lamps, and old wooden altars had been placed.
On the altar was placed a broken icon, presumably a statue of the Goddess.
“W This is…”
“Perhaps!”
“is it so. It is a temple.”
A place presumed to worship the goddess.
In other words, this is the temple where the Tracotti people enshrined Wismel long ago.
“Wizmel-sama saved us from being crushed to death.”
I thought he was a useless guy, but at this level, he managed to pay for his meal.
“The Temple of Wismel!”
“To think that the temple was still there…”
“It must be the traces of the Wismel Temple, to be exact.”
In the process of erasing Wismel’s traces, the doll workshop destroyed all temples and church buildings, but it seems that they couldn’t find the underground temple that was deep in this way.
“Come to think of it, the land on which Spencer Workshop is built was the site of the Wismel Church building in the past!”
“Pengrill must have found out about the existence of this temple while building a workshop.”
It must have been several months ago that I discovered the temple.
However, before the complete collapse of the doll workshop, the Church of Wismel could not be put forward, and of course it was impossible to publicize the existence of the temple.
“Perhaps Pengrill intended to move this place to the ground after Wismel is completely resurrected and build a new Wismel temple.”
But that grandiose dream was shattered.
It was because Kang Seung-hyun trampled on him mercilessly.
“Well, that’s not what’s important… If this is part of the Wismel Temple, there will be a way out.”
Originally, the Wismel Temple was a building built in the Red Forest.
This underground temple seems to be in the middle of the two places, Tracotti and Red Forest, so there must be an entrance to the Red Forest.
“I bought and lived… It’s not a dead end.”
“I thought I had to dig a tunnel from here to the ground.”
Kim Ho-jung put in a golden glory with a relieved face.
It seems that this man was seriously thinking of digging a hole to escape.
“This is Wismel’s shrine…”
Rebecca wiped away her tears and carefully placed the Wizmel doll in the temple.
“You want to put it there?”
“Isn’t it in Tracotti?”
“I think we should put it here until we build a proper space in the village.”
Rebecca said in a calm voice.
Although it is now an empty shell with nothing in it, he said it was right to leave it here as it was a vessel that Wismel once lived in.
“Thank you for saving me…”
“Thanks to you, I saved my life again!”
“There’s no way I’m going to die of starvation like this… Thank you, Mr. Wismel.”
The puppeteers prayed with gratitude towards the Wismel dolls enshrined in the temple.
However, since the real Wismel has been extinct for a long time, it is meaningless.
“Thank you thank you.”
“Thank you so much Mr. Wismel… and I’m sorry.”
Even knowing that, the puppeteers did not stop praying.
It seems to be due to gratitude for saving their lives and guilt for losing such a wonderful god to their own incompetence.
‘They’re pathetic guys.’
What’s the point of regretting it after it’s over?
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the scene with a calm face.
“Sir, would you like something to eat?”
“yes?”
Either that or not.
Kim Ho-jeong opened her mouth with a carefree face.
“You haven’t eaten anything since we escaped from the cellar at Pengrill.”
“Do you run out of rice in a place like this?”
“If you think you’ve come to a tourist destination, you’ll get over it.”
Kim Ho-jeong settled down in a suitable place and took out a biscuit and ate it. Emergency rations from the basement of the mansion.
“Ah, but since this is also a temple, are there any treasures?”
“well.”
“Kirkir Satan hid holy relics under the altar.”
“This is Kirkarashtel.”
“I wish I had something.”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was eating a biscuit, looked around and put her hand inside the altar.
Click!
“huh?”
The moment Ho-jeong Kim touched the inside of the altar, a loud noise was heard.
Koo Goo Goo!
Paaa!
A dazzling light swept through the interior of the temple.
“What! is this because of me? Sorry!”
“Calm down and look at this.”
As the light faded, a pile of glittering jewels appeared on the altar of the temple.
“It’s a bo jewel!”
“You really did find the treasure.”
“These guys didn’t exist before, so where did they come from?”
“Probably been here from the beginning.”
Seunghyun Kang activated [Eye of Observation].
It stopped working now, but I could see that the magic circle was hidden in the altar.
“Until now, it was hidden because of the barrier, but I think it was just released because of Mr. Kim Ho-jung.”
Circumstances suggest that Wismel left it behind.
There’s no way Pengrill could have hidden something like this, and it was a barrier that was set up a long time ago in the first place.
“I should take it as a reward for this job. Tracotti won’t have any money anyway.”
“I saw the sim!”
Kim Ho-jung dug up a pile of jewels.
Several wooden boxes were buried inside. This side seemed new because it wasn’t worn out, perhaps because of the effect of the barrier.
“Sir, there’s even a box here!”
“Let’s open it.”
The two of them opened the box in each hand.
Inside the box Kang Seung-hyun opened was full of round, golden pills that exuded a sweet scent.
“This is…!”
Undoubtedly.
This pill is a recovery item that, with just one pill, all fatigue disappears, injuries are healed, and stamina is permanently increased.
“Gold Mills!”
It was one of the rare recovery items [Golden Mill].
Of course, it is an item that Kang Seung-hyun, who lives on stamina, would be crazy about, but currently, the recipe has been lost, so it is a rare item that can only be obtained in the highest level dungeons only one or two eggs.
‘I have to eat it right now!’
Kang Seung-hyeon ate golden wheat buns without hesitation.
The sweet and sour taste spread throughout the mouth, and the fatigue accumulated in the body disappeared neatly.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve eaten this precious thing.’
According to Kang Seung-hyun’s memory, it was an item he hadn’t even looked at after eating just one pill a year ago.
This is because not only the performance but also the taste is so good that the nobility would buy it whenever an item came in.
‘Even if he had money, he couldn’t find anything for sale.
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the bundle of golden wheat in the box.
‘The box itself isn’t that big, but…’
Even if it was small, it was about the size of a tissue case, so even in the past, where it was easier to get golden wheat sticks, the money would have been very broken.
‘I’m sorry, Wismel, I was excited about swearing earlier.’
I never thought I’d have so many precious treasures. Now is the time to set up an annual ancestral rite to say thank you.
“What was in Kim Ho-jung’s box?”
“It contains moonlight stones!”
Looking inside the box, it was full of raw moonlight stones.
“Even though it’s a gemstone.”
“It’s good! rather!”
Kim Ho-jeong also embraced the box with a happy face.
Moonlight stone is a mineral with the power of the moon, so it increases the performance and stats of several of Kim Ho-jung’s skills.
“This one is also really hard to find, so congratulations.”
“It will be difficult to use right now!”
“Let’s open another box.”
The rest of the boxes were filled with all sorts of healing items, such as herbs and pills of various kinds.
“There are a lot of recovery items. I don’t really need it right now.”
“What’s this? I don’t think it’s a normal potion.”
“It is the essence of the earth.”
Unusually, the essence of the earth was contained between recovery items.
“This is an item that permanently raises the earth attribute stats, so earth mages will be crazy about it.”
“But can I drink this? Aren’t you hurt?”
“It’s sealed with a barrier, so there won’t be any big problems.”
The treasures here were items crafted a long time ago during Wismel’s lifetime, but thanks to the strong seal, they were as fresh as if they had just been created.
“Then you can drink without worry.”
“You seem to care more than I thought, so I should thank Wismel…”
At that moment, Kang Seung-hyun felt strange.
‘Wait… is that a bit strange?’
Clearly, the things here are things that Wismel hid hundreds and thousands of years ago.
But why are the items that are essential for Kang Seung-hyun and Kim Ho-jeong prepared?
‘As if they expected us to come here…’
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the golden thread in his hand.
It could be a coincidence, but seeing as there are no magic-related rewards among them, it seems that Wismel has prepared rewards tailored to the two of them.
‘Did I really know?’
Kang Seung-hyun thought this.
Maybe the Wismels of the past foresaw the future. Maybe that’s why he prepared everything and disappeared without regret.
That thought came to me for a moment.
‘Is this the parent’s heart? I really don’t know.’
It was a range that Kang Seung-hyun could not understand.
‘Wait, then why did you prepare recovery items?’
Seunghyun Kang looked at the last box.
If you looked into the future, you would have seen the sight of him resurrecting all the dead Tracotti residents.
‘There must be no reason to write now.’
Even so, Wismel of the past handed over the recovery item to Kang Seung-hyeon of the future, as if he must have something to use.
‘I’m sure it was before…’
After thinking for a while, Seunghyun Kang recalled what Wismel said at the end.
-From now on, you must protect the forest and village with your own strength. Of course it won’t be easy.
-But I believe in you.
– Because all of them are my children who can overcome the crisis by gathering strength.
‘I told you so.’
That means something will happen to Tracotti sooner or later.
‘Right now, the Red Forest is polluted with the magic that flows from Camar. In addition, as Wismel disappeared, the power to protect the village also disappeared…’
It is not difficult to guess the reason.
It’s probably a monster raid.
‘I thought they’d give out some sort of reward.’
Kang Seung-hyeon swallowed a grain of golden wheat.
It still tasted like it melted in your mouth, and the energy of stamina surged through your body.
‘He gave me something good, so I should help him.’
