195. Trend person
‘This bastard…was a dimension mover?’
Azul Continental citizens can not use the inventory.
This man, Alec, is unmistakably a dimension mover.
‘It’s not surprising that dimension movers usually hide their identities, but…’
Kang Seung-hyeon stared at Alec.
Alec was thinking about something as he twirled the pen he took out.
‘Only the people of the Azul Continent don’t notice. Dimension movers are generally recognizable by their unique atmosphere, fashion, way of speaking, etc.’
For example, Kim Ho-jeong wears slippers on the subject of being a tanker, so we recognize that he is a dimension mover.
‘But this bastard hides it so perfectly that I almost didn’t notice.’
Alec didn’t feel the unique atmosphere of a dimension shifter, and there was no way he didn’t know that Kang Seung-hyun was a dimension shifter, but he didn’t show it at all.
‘Are you pretending not to know?’
Again, due to the nature of the Azul Continent, it is not surprising that dimension movers hide their identities.
However, continuing to hide their identities in a situation where dimension movers encounter each other means that there is something bothering them.
[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]
Without hesitation, Kang Seung-hyun took out his crossbow and aimed it at Alec’s head.
“Hey… Healer?”
“I know you’re in a hurry, but it’s because you don’t come out right away just because you’re so urging.”
“I’m a bit sad.”
Unlike Ziggs, who was greatly taken aback, Alec just turned the pen with a calm face.
Seunghyun Kang aimed his crossbow and opened his mouth.
“It’s something that people from the same country I met in other places don’t even show.”
At that moment, the smile disappeared from Alec’s face.
This is because ‘a person from the same country I met in a foreign land’ was a slang word used when dimension movers ran into each other.
“…?”
Ziggs looked flustered, but Alec stopped spinning the pen and looked up at Seunghyun Kang.
There was silence at the table for a moment.
“…isn’t hyung a normal bet?”
“…”
“No one noticed that I had ID.”
Alec said with a laugh.
The phrase “possessing a national ID card” is a slang word used among dimension movers.
Of course, it means Korean dimension movers.
“How on earth did you find out?”
“Somehow.”
“It’s not something you can easily spot.”
Seunghyun Kang stared at Alec.
[Takes out an item from the inventory.]
If it wasn’t for the [Observation Eye] that was reflexively activated earlier, it wouldn’t have been easy to notice that he had used the inventory.
“So why did you hide it?”
“There are circumstances here too.”
Alec shifted his gaze to Ziggs.
Caught between the two without knowing why, Ziggs had a confused face.
“….”
“….”
For a long time, the three of them looked at each other with their mouths closed.
‘No, what the hell is it?’
The two who are ready to fight right now, and even Ziggs, who is stuck between them with a very uncomfortable face.
The person who broke this awkward silence was an unexpected person.
“Do you want to eat together there, sir?”
At that moment, Kang Seung-hyun and Alec simultaneously looked in the direction where the voice was heard.
“huh? Why do you look like that?”
“…”
When Kang Seung-hyun did not come back after waiting for a long time, Kim Ho-jung, who was sitting there, approached him.
“Eek what? what happened?”
Ho-jung Kim looked at the crossbow Kang Seung-hyeon took out and shouted with a surprised face. It wasn’t something I would take out at lunchtime.
“That’s…”
The moment Kang Seung-hyun was about to open his mouth,
“Huh? uh?”
Seeing Kim Ho-jung approaching, Alec got up from his seat with a surprised face.
“Brother Kim?”
“huh?”
“You’re Kim, right? That’s right, Kim!”
And I was very happy and approached.
However, Kim Ho-jung was still confused.
“Do you know Kim Ho-jeong?”
“uh? well? Who are you?”
“My name is Alec.”
“Is this your first name?”
Ho-jung Kim didn’t seem to recognize Alec at all.
“I do not remember? In Taric Village before us…”
“Taric Village? iced coffee! you you! that! What! okay! Long time no see!”
No matter how he looked at it, he didn’t seem to remember it at all, but Kim Ho-jung gladly held Alec’s hand.
“…Are you familiar with Mr. Alec and Mr. Kim Ho-jung?”
“An old colleague.”
Alec smirked again and opened his mouth.
The chilly atmosphere had completely disappeared.
“We had a party together before. It was just after I came here, so… 3 years ago?”
“Oh, I remembered now. Are you Cheolhyun?”
Kim Ho-jeong opened her mouth with great joy, as if it was only then that she remembered it.
“You remember now.”
His real name is Ma Cheol-hyun.
It was also a name that had nothing to do with Alec.
“I didn’t recognize it because it was completely different! Your hair was originally short and black.”
“Of course I bought the dye and changed it.”
“Anyway, isn’t it a little gray hair?”
“It’s not white, it’s cloud color?”
“The clouds are white!”
Kang Seung-hyun sat in a chair while the two chatted happily.
“Um…something seems complicated.”
“It’s been like this and that.”
“Anyway, there is no need to fight, right?”
“Yes.”
[Fria’s crossbow disappears.]
When Kang Seung-hyeon canceled the summoning of the crossbow, Ziggs sighed with a relieved expression on his face.
It seems that he didn’t want to get into a fight while eating at a restaurant.
“The meal you ordered earlier is here.”
“Ah, we will eat here!”
Just in time, Julia came to the table with food.
“Come on, let’s talk while eating!”
That’s how Kang Seung-hyun and his party naturally joined the Zigstable.
“This is Mr. Kang. You are my party member now.”
“I am Healer Kang Seung-hyun. Come to think of it, he didn’t even introduce himself and left the request right away.”
“It happens often in this industry.”
Alec smirked and poured a drink into his glass.
“My real name is Ma Cheol-hyun, but I call him Alec for short.”
“Eh? Are you Mr. Alec?”
“Would you like a business card?”
“Okay, I already got it…”
Only then did Kim Ho-jung realize that the detective he was looking for was an old colleague.
Judging by the look on her face, it seems that she didn’t know at all.
‘How can I shorten Ma Cheol-hyun to Alec?’
Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth, putting aside the alcohol.
“There seems to be a story behind it, so I won’t ask further. Still, ho… Considering that he has been acquainted with Kim Ho-jung, I don’t think he’s a bad person.”
“Pictures in general~ If you’re also Kim’s friend, wouldn’t you be a bad guy? Let’s be friends!”
The two, who seemed like they would fight right away, stopped fighting after realizing that they were acquaintances of Kim Ho-jung.
Among dimension movers who know Kim Ho-jung well, the use of Kim Ho-jung is, no matter how disbelievable he looks,
‘If you are acquainted with this human, he is not a heinous trash.’
It was because it was a kind of human nature reader.
“To be honest, I was surprised. I couldn’t believe he was still alive.”
“No, you’re talking harsh words.”
“Yeah… I thought someone like Kim was already dead, right? All but a few of the kids who made the party in the beginning died.”
“Ahaha… that’s right. Somehow, I’m still alive.”
Kim Ho-jeong replied with a shy face.
His expression didn’t look very good.
“More than that! There’s something we’re looking for…”
“That’s right. Talk about the details later.”
Small talk with a colleague he hasn’t seen in a while is important, but that’s none of Kang Seung-hyun’s business.
‘Because now the priority is to find the people who attacked the wagon.’
Kang Seung-hyeon said while mixing alcohol with a stamina potion.
“Please solve the request first.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Alec spread the paper out on the table and twirled the pen lightly.
“I was trying to find it right away in the first place.”
And just like before, I closed my eyes and thought deeply.
‘If you’re a dimension mover, you can trust his skills.’
An adventurer who specializes in finding things.
If the garbage relics appraiser praised it, he would be quite skilled.
“Hmm?”
At that time, Kim Ho-jeong, who was next to me, had a puzzled face.
“What’s wrong?”
“No… he wasn’t a detective when he was partying with me. I can’t remember what my role was at the time.”
“Aren’t you a detective?”
“huh. obviously wasn’t Did you acquire detective skills during that time?”
Kim Ho-jung looked at Alec with a worried face. Alec was still deep in thought with his eyes closed.
“Hut!”
It was then.
Alec wakes up and grabs a pen and starts scribbling something on a piece of paper at high speed.
Crumble crunch square.
At first, I wondered what graffiti he was doing, and he said
“Huh?”
“Is this a Hind Village?”
“Iknow, right.”
If you look closely, it was a map drawn simply, giving up details, as if it were a drawing of the surroundings of Hind Village.
“Why did you draw this?”
Shaak!
Instead of answering, Alec cut his own hand with the knife he had pulled out.
“Oh really…”
Ziggs, who was eating in front of him, was arrogant.
It certainly wasn’t a sight to see in a restaurant.
Chow!
Alec, however, didn’t care and stamped his bloody hand on the map.
“…”
“Ah~ the answer came out. This place is suspicious!”
Then, with a calm face, he pointed to the bloody map.
“I feel a strange aura from this side.”
“hey.”
Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded.
“What is your job, by any chance?”
“My name is Mr. Alec. I am a detective.”
“Hey, don’t be ridiculous! Where in the world is there a detective who investigates like this?”
Kim Ho-jung, who was next to him, grabbed Alec by the collar with a blank expression.
“Oh, I remembered! Are you a blood mage?”
“…a blood mage?”
A blood mage is a profession that fights using blood.
It’s definitely not a job with detective-like skills.
“That’s the main job and the side job is ‘Fortune Teller’.”
“That’s a fortune teller! After all, you’re not a detective!”
Yes.
Alec was not a detective who used reasoning to find people, but a fortune teller who looked for people by divination.
“What kind of bastard are you?”
“Still, are you sure about the performance?”
Alec smirked and pointed to the map.
The guy claims that the bright red blood in the form of palm prints on the map tells the whereabouts of the person Kang Seung-hyun is looking for.
“Believe that now…”
“This is why I have no choice but to pretend to be a detective. My clients don’t believe in my ability.”
“Would you believe me if I were like you?”
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not.”
Alec sighed and said.
“This is my way and I normally work this way. Isn’t it just a matter of solving the request that my older brother entrusted to me?”
It is said that Alec’s method is to first receive a request as a detective, find out the location by fortune-telling, and then go directly to collect evidence and present it to the client.
“Are fortune-tellers and detectives doing the same thing?”
Unlike Kim Ho-jung, who was dumbfounded
, “It just sounds like a scammer
.”
Seunghyun Kang nodded his head with an understanding face.
Just like he works as a healer in a savage way, this man is only doing a detective job in a savage way.
“Are you agreeing?”
“It’s not fraudulent as long as it produces results. That friend is not an ordinary detective, but a wild detective.”
“If possible, call me a psychic detective.”
Alec smiled and pointed to the map.
From Kang Seung-hyun’s point of view, it’s there, but according to Alec, he used blood to predict the location.
“Come on~ There are a total of 3 places that the fortune-telling points to.”
The location is the southeast exit of the clock tower of Latika Inn.
First of all, it is said that in these three places, there must be someone with [the ability to call rain].
“Here, the exit side has no energy. Do you feel that the clock tower is a bit tight? Will you have a hard time if you go?”
“is that so.”
“But the inn is dangerous.”
Alec pointed at the inn with his bloody finger.
The blood dripping from his fingers stained the map red.
“The fortune telling came out very ominously.”
“Fire?”
“If I go here, someone will surely die? If I were you, I would never go this way.”
“You die?”
“Now choose.”
Alec held out a bloody map.
One is the easy way and the other is the hard way.
The last one is the road of death.
“Where are you going, brother?”
