184. Last Mission 3
“What?”
“Because it hasn’t been cured yet.”
Seunghyun Kang replied with a very calm face.
“I collected soul fragments and assembled them, but I did not restore them. Should I say that the broken mug is not glued?”
“What is it?”
Harvey was unable to move because he thought he would die if left alone, so he only took care of it so that he would not die.
“Well… I can move two fingers.”
“You swindler!”
Hearing this, Harvey, of course, became very angry and raged.
Of course, all I could do was scream because I really only had two fingers to move.
“Why do you think I fought with a sick body!! Can’t you fix it right away?”
“If you cooperate with the Tracotti restoration, I’ll fix it properly this time.”
“what?”
Seunghyun Kang looked around.
Tracotti is in a state of chaos due to monster attacks and puppets messing around, and he only believes in the blessings of the Red Forest and has hardly come up with any countermeasures against monsters.
“It’s in the middle of the forest, so it’s open on all sides, but there’s not a single wall surrounding the village… I’ll have to build at least a barrier.”
“Are you telling me to carry a stone right now? With this body?”
“You can still manipulate puppets in that state, right?”
Harvey was a monster who could manipulate dolls with only one or two fingers left.
“Of course, it would be impossible to control hundreds of top-class dolls at the same time as before, but… if it’s a low-class doll, you can play with it as much as you like.”
“Yeah, but if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to restore it with a normal body?”
“If your body is fine, won’t it bounce as it is? isn’t it?”
Seunghyun Kang looked at Ziggs who was next to him.
Ziggs nodded wordlessly.
‘Due to his human nature, there’s no way he will readily cooperate with the restoration of the village.’
As a person who likes to pamper others, even if you ask for the restoration of the village, you will ignore it, telling you to do it yourself.
‘I’ll run away to Bonama or another village, and then crawl back when the village is fully restored.’
So instead of asking Harvey to do the job, Kang Seung-hyeon started threatening as usual.
“This bastard…”
“If Mr. Harvey cooperates, the restoration of the village will be completed much faster, right?”
“You cheated on me like this last time… You cheated on me again!”
Only in this way is it no different from Lecacothecin.
Harvey burst into exasperation, but
“if you want to move, get down to business.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and left Harvey behind.
“Damn Healer!!!!”
‘With this, I don’t have to worry too much about restoring Tracotti.’
When I headed to another place, I could see three people gathered together, Kim Ho-jeong and Masen Rebecca.
“Is everyone okay?”
“as you see!”
Everyone was struggling with dealing with monsters, but they didn’t look bad.
“I was listening to what had happened to the two of them. It must have been a lot of trouble.”
“Then I don’t think I need to explain.”
Fengrill sacrificing the souls of Tracotti residents to resurrect Wismel, and the resurrected Wismel sacrificing himself to resurrect the residents.
“In the process, Wismel was completely annihilated and even the blessings of the Red Forest disappeared.”
“…Actually, I guessed to some extent.”
Masen answered briefly and sighed.
Until now, while I was staying in Tracotti, there was a benevolent and warm atmosphere, but now I don’t feel anything.
“Because I took that power and used it to resurrect you.”
“My heart hurts. To think that a being I have never seen and never met saved me… us by sacrificing himself.”
Masen smiled bitterly.
He said that if he had noticed Pengrill’s ambition a little earlier, if he had moved without paying attention to the superiors, this wouldn’t have happened.
“Don’t be too discouraged.”
“Yes, because protecting the villagers is the priority right now.”
Somehow they managed to block the attack, but since Tracotti is a village in the middle of the forest, it is not strange that monsters attack at any time.
“I left the restoration of the village to Mr. Harvey, so you can exchange opinions there.”
“Recovery is also restoration, but the important thing is what comes next…”
A union employee next to me ran up with a pale face.
“Look around the branch manager.”
“The color of the red forest has completely changed.”
Now the red forest had turned to a pale green, closer to a normal forest.
“I can’t call it the Red Forest anymore.”
“Fortunately, the rich mana in the soil is unharmed.”
“Then it won’t be a problem for the residents to eat and live.”
Only the color changed, but the animals and plants that grew in the red forest had special powers as before.
So there won’t be any problems with farming or pottery workshops…
“But since God’s blessing is gone, you’ll be attacked by monsters while wandering around the forest.”
Wismel’s protection no longer protects the residents of Tracotti.
Since you never know when monsters will attack, it will be difficult to gather freely like before.
“It’s a big deal. This will affect people’s livelihoods.”
“If you can’t walk around the forest freely, it’s no different from the forest disappearing, right? We need adventurers or soldiers to protect the residents.”
“As expected, we should ask for more support from the head office…”
“Did you forget? The branch manager negotiated to hire Tracotti residents as staff instead of cutting the head office subsidy. Should we lay off more than half of our current employees?”
The Adventurers Guild employees always had mixed faces.
The village itself was protected, but it was a problem after that.
“Is there no choice but to rely on Camar?”
“Those who didn’t send a healer to the village will help out.”
“You idiots, don’t you know even after going through this?”
At that time, Harvey, who was repairing the village, opened his mouth.
“They are with us. If it goes wrong, I will throw it away.”
“What is he saying now. The guy who tried to run away as soon as something happened!”
Kim Ho-jeong muttered as if it were absurd.
Union employees looked at Harvey and cautiously opened their mouths.
“But there is no other way than you.”
“If there is a problem with the livelihood of the residents and security at the same time, it will be difficult for the village to survive…” “
I have to ask for help from other forces…”
“What do you think is so difficult?”
Kang Seung-hyeon glanced at Harvey with a thick face.
Seunghyun Kang smiled as if telling him to continue what he was saying.
“That work is cooperated by our doll studio.”
“At the doll workshop? But that would cost too much…”
“I will teach the people of Tracotti how to make dolls.”
“To the people of the state?”
Union employees were shocked.
To think that Harvey, who was obsessed with the idea of the chosen people, would teach ordinary people how to make dolls.
‘Is it time to die?’
‘He died and came back to life.’
‘What happened to his hair…’
Union staff, as well as Masen’s branch manager, were faces that could not easily be trusted.
“No matter how poor they are, they can easily make dolls for self-defense or bait.”
“That would be fine!”
“You can’t have an adventurer attached to a villager 24 hours a day… If you take a doll with you to protect yourself and leave the monsters to the adventurer…!”
Union employees were full of enthusiasm.
Everyone said, ‘I saw you again!’ It was a face that said, ‘This is how old Harvey is!’
“Are you okay?”
“It’s just right.”
The truth is that Kang Seung-hyun persuaded Harvey with a little threat.
-If you knew that the doll workshop was covering up Wismel, it would be noisy. Now that Pengril is dead, the doll workshop will be all over the place this time… You won’t like that.
-So what?
-Invite disciples and teach villagers how to make dolls.
-Look at me, call those damn things and spread the technology to the commoners?
– If the doll workshop shows the way they work, the anger of the residents will be calmed down. As long as we can eat and live as before, the residents won’t say anything.
-Anyway, you vile bastard!
-Of course, the doll studio pays for all the expenses.
-You want me to pay you money?
Harvey was reluctant, but he had no choice.
Afterwards, it was obvious that commoners who had problems with their livelihood would turn arrows of anger at him and the doll workshop.
-So you won’t? So, I’ll make you a rebel right now. I don’t know if the villagers who are having a hard time making a living will set up a campfire as a doll workshop.
-Damn it… you can do it!
Eventually, Harvey decided to offer a helping hand to cover his sins.
“Of course, teaching myself would be a waste of time. I will accept you as a disciple again, so you guys have to teach newbies.”
“Thank you, Master!”
“thank you!”
In the process, he also gathered disciples who naturally escaped. The puppeteers were moved by Master’s broad heart, but
‘I can’t believe I brought these bastards with my own hands…!’
Harvey just suppressed his anger.
“I also agree with old Harvey.”
Rebecca, who was next to her, also said with a happy face.
“Because doll making skills are the last legacy that Wismel-nim left behind. It was a problem in itself that a certain class monopolized it like it is now…” If
the doll making method had been spread all over town from the beginning, there would have been no need to depend on Camar right after Wismel disappeared.
“My family also wants to actively cooperate with the doll studio.”
Now that Pengrill had died, the position of head of the Spencer family naturally passed to Rebecca.
But Rebecca seemed to be planning to sell her property and use the money for the town instead of taking the seat.
“Are you okay?”
“My family must pay for my brother’s sins. And I want to continue living as Rebecca instead of Lewna Spencer.”
“Rebecca, learn how to puppeteer yourself. Now, any Tracotti resident can become a disciple of ‘Elder Harvey’.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and looked at Harvey.
Harvey just clicked his tongue with a rotting face.
-“Let’s stop here for today and take a break.”
“I’m tired…”
Kang Seung-hyeon and Kim Ho-jeong returned to their lodgings.
Originally, the dolls made a mess and it was cluttered, but in the meantime, the union staff seems to have organized it.
‘Thinking about it, since I’ve dealt with boss-level monsters in a row… it’s normal to be tired.’
Seunghyun Kang yawned and lay down.
“Should I drink a potion before going to bed…”
As Kang Seung-hyeon was about to take a potion out of his inventory, he saw an unfamiliar item.
‘huh? what is this?’
What was in the inventory was a small ticket.
‘Come to think of it…he said something like this.’
[The unknown items received as quest rewards have been moved to the inventory.]
‘Is this a quest reward?’
Kang Seung-hyun recalled Wismel’s words and took out an unknown item.
