196. Suspicious guest 1
“Nothing to worry about.”
widely!
Seunghyun Kang smiled and pointed at the map.
If you think about it plainly, it’s safe and easy to go to the southeast exit of Hind Village, but it’s correct.
“I will go this way.”
“Sir Seo? I’m serious?”
Kim Ho-jung, who was next to him, shouted in astonishment.
The point Kang Seung-hyun pointed out
was “to the most dangerous Latika Inn.”
It was because it was the Latika Inn on the road where death lurked.
“Hey Healer…”
“Oh, you want to go to the inn? I must have kindly given you a warning.”
Ziggs and Alec each looked at Kang Seung-hyun with a surprised face and a smirk.
“Oh no… it’s not just dangerous, you could die, right? But are you going there?”
“yes.”
Kim Ho-jung was greatly taken aback, but Kang Seung-hyun nodded without changing his expression.
“Ah, is that so? You don’t believe in my divination, do you?”
“no. I believe.”
“You believe?”
“I chose this inn because I believe in Alec’s fortune telling.”
Seunghyun Kang looked at the map with a calm face.
The Latika Inn branch was splattered with blood and spread so badly that it seemed like a foreshadowing of a sea of blood to come.
“If you say that you will die unconditionally if you go to the inn… Conversely, you mean something will happen with 100% probability, right? Of course I have to go.”
The person Kang Seung-hyeon is looking for now is a member of a group of kidnappers who raided a carriage and kidnapped passengers.
There’s no way anything will happen while chasing these guys, so the answer is to head for the most dangerous path.
“…isn’t it common sense to avoid Mr. hyung’s place?”
“that’s right. For that reason, choosing the clock tower…
”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled and continued the story.
“But you never said it was me who died here, did you?”
Earlier, Alec only said that someone would die, but he never said it was Kang Seung-hyun.
“If you make it into someone else’s grave, I won’t die.”
“That’s right. Healer-sama was fortune-telling to find someone, not his own destiny…”
“Now I know what you mean.”
At first glance, it sounds like a psycho, but Ziggs and Kim Ho-jung, who were present, realized Kang Seung-hyun’s intention.
“The carriage hijackers… will surely die.”
“Let’s pray for the rest of those friends.”
Go to the inn and find the carriage hijackers.
I’m thinking of killing them.
“If you do that, there will be no problem with fortune-telling, right?”
“Are you really funny?”
Alec, who was listening to the story, laughed heartily and nodded.
“My divination is superficial when it comes to finding something, but when it comes to predicting fate or the future, isn’t it clear?”
A good fortune-teller will be able to determine with certainty who will die when taking the inn route.
However, since Alec was a fortune teller who specialized in finding traces of lost objects or people, it was unclear who would die.
“But if someone was going to die anyway, they would bury someone other than me. The idea is very crazy.”
“Think whatever you want.”
“But… I like it.”
Alec stumbled and rose from his seat.
He put the bottle he was holding into his inventory and instead took out a leather glove and put it on.
“I never go to a place where I will die… but hyung is pretty tough, isn’t he?”
“I don’t like hiding like a coward.”
“Originally, it’s right to step out of here, but I think it’ll be fun, so I’ll cooperate.”
“Oh you want to help? Great!”
Hojeong Kim shouted with great joy.
It was because just thinking about leaving together like this was too tiring.
“You don’t have to refuse someone who wants to help you. I will leave it up to you.”
“But don’t expect too much. I’m not that good at fighting.”
“Better than nothing.”
Kang Seung-hyun glanced at Kim Ho-jung.
“good! With this, the 4-person pot is complete!”
“A pot of four? Do I have to go too?”
When Kim Ho-jeong shouted with a happy face, Ziggs was greatly taken aback.
Because I thought only three people would go like this.
“of course! Are we colleagues?”
“Kim Ho-jung, I am not an adventurer.”
“Haha, there’s no way I’m going to bully you, right? Let’s go together!”
“Please turn me away.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t come, but it’s more balanced to go with 4 people rather than 3 people.”
“Is Healer doing the same thing… I understand.”
Finally, Ziggs nodded.
After all, he could not refuse the request of the savior who saved the village.
“Then let’s go!”
So, Kang Seung-hyun and his party, which became a four-person pot, headed to the Latika Inn.
-The Latika Inn was located a short distance from the Beats Fall Inn where Kang Seung-hyun and his party were staying.
Unlike the relaxed and quiet Bitspole Inn, this place is always bustling with people.
“It’s busier than I thought.”
“Oh, when will you search all these people?”
“According to fortune telling, something will happen here.”
“That’s right! Let’s just stay still.”
“If the fortune telling is right, that is.”
In fact, Kang Seung-hyun said he believed earlier, but he did not blindly believe in Alec’s divination.
Seunghyun Kang always thinks like this.
‘If the fortuneteller misses, I just have to beat him.’
Good if right, not good if not.
The only thing he believes in 100% is himself.
“welcome? Is it a stay? Or a meal?”
As the four of them wandered around the store, Latika Inn’s waitress approached them.
“Let’s order a meal first.”
“Eh? We just ate lunch.”
“Now that I’m in the store, I have to order something.”
Ziggs looked at the employee and opened his mouth.
He’s smiling brightly right now, but if you just stand around doing nothing, he’ll kick you out.
“But I’m still full.”
“You can order it as a packed lunch.”
“oh.”
“Is this a packed lunch? Which one would you like to order?”
“Do you have any recommendations?”
“Today’s recommended menu is…”
While the two of them chattered and looked at the waiter, Kang Seung-hyun went to inspect the inside of the store.
‘I think I can leave the staff to two people.’
The customers of the store were chatting excitedly, so they didn’t pay much attention to whether Kang Seung-hyun was walking around or not. ‘I
have to calmly
investigate…’
As I looked around, I heard a loud noise from the corner of the store.
I wondered what was going on, so I turned around and said,
“If you bumped into me on the street, you shouldn’t apologize!”
“Did you hit this now?”
The drunkards were hitting and fighting.
‘The fight started in broad daylight.’
Of course, this kind of sight was very common in Azul continent, so no one cared about it.
“Yaya, who will win, should I pay for a drink?”
“Okay~!”
“I bet the red shirt wins!”
Rather, most of the people enjoyed watching the fight as a snack.
‘Everyone was excited. Why are you not working and drinking all day?’
Anyway, this kind of thing is so common that if it’s a simple fistfight, there’s no problem, and if you want to use skills or the fight gets too intense, guards or other adventurers will stop you.
So, from their point of view, drunken fights are just events that can be seen in stores.
‘There is a story that some restaurants deliberately pay money and hire actors to fight… Maybe it’s because there’s no TV.’
Kang Seung-hyun didn’t care about them and looked around.
As expected, most of the inn guests just watched the fight or chatted happily among themselves.
‘…huh?’
But among them.
There was only one strange guest.
‘What is that guy…’
The guy was wearing a hood, but there was no party next to him, he wasn’t watching the fight, and he wasn’t even drinking.
He looked at the door with a nervous look, as if he was waiting for someone.
In fact, it may be that far, but
‘strangely, my eyes are drawn to it.’
The moment I saw him, I felt a strange feeling.
Seunghyun Kang looked at him carefully.
‘An ordinary mantle, hood, ordinary shirt, pants, and ordinary leather shoes that can be found anywhere.’
It was a common adventurer’s set outfit, but there was nothing particularly strange about it.
“…!”
I couldn’t see it properly because it was far away, but his weapon mage’s staff was very flashy that didn’t match the clothes.
That’s why I’ve been feeling uncomfortable since before.
‘Luxurious staff adorned with jewels!’
Seunghyun Kang took something out of his inventory.
It was a jewelry decoration found in a wagon that was attacked.
[Observation Eye]
Kang Seung-hyun hurriedly activated [Observation Eye].
[Amethyst sculpture]
[The decoration fell off the staff.]
-[The jewel shattered from the shock.]
As expected, the jewel Kang Seung-hyun found was an ornament that fell off the staff he had.
‘After all, that guy is holding that staff…’
That guy is the culprit who attacked the investigator and took the staff.
‘I finally found it.’
Seunghyun Kang approached the man without hesitation.
The man nervously checking the door said,
“What is it? What you looking at?”
“For a person who wears loose clothes, weapons are very luxurious.”
“Do you want this to die? Get out of here!”
Seeing Kang Seung-hyun suddenly approaching, he raised his staff and shouted as if he was very embarrassed.
widely!
Then Kang Seung-hyun snatched the staff wielded by him.
“Aren’t you going to let this go?”
“Where are you going to do this for how long?”
After causing a commotion like this,
“Hey, it looks like there was a fight over there too.”
“Returns to pay for alcohol!”
“It’s nice to see a fight!”
I started looking at the two of them from all sides.
“There’s no way I know the price of the stolen weapon, though.”
“…!”
Kang Seung-hyun, looking at the embarrassed man, threw the jewelry on the table.
Anyone could see that it was a jewel that had fallen out of this staff.
“You were the one who attacked the wagon that was going well yesterday, right? I’d like to hear what happened…”
“Damn it!”
The man shouted as if he was very flustered, and injected magic into the staff.
“…!”
Pod!
Kang Seung-hyun quickly let go of his staff and stepped back.
“I didn’t mean to draw attention, but I can’t help it!”
Along with that, powerful magic power erupted from his staff.
Whoa!
The burst of magic power turned into a huge gust of wind and began sweeping the store.
“What!”
“That crazy bastard! Are you using your skills here?”
It was an advanced magic that could easily kill even one or two people.
“Contact the Adventurers Guild right away!”
Quagga Gagagak!
The tornado that broke out inside the store began sweeping everywhere, crushing walls and floors.
“Ah!”
“Stop! The store is collapsing!”
“It’s okay, run away!”
The inside of the inn quickly turned into chaos.
While the customers were confused, the guy ran out of the store.
“To be able to go through this kind of bullshit.”
“Sensei Gagang! what to do Shall I follow you?”
“First of all, let’s fix things from the inn. It might collapse like this.”
“Then should I just let him go…”
“Of course.”
[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]
Kang Seung-hyun quickly summoned a crossbow and said,
“We can’t just let it go.”
I pulled the trigger at the guy.
