249. The strange party
has been a long story since then, but I have obtained a clue to guess the missing memory.
‘If we compare the story of the dimension mover step by step in this way, we will be able to find out what happened that day.’
square square.
Kang Seung-hyun opened his notebook and took simple notes.
{A guy who was brought in while taking a leisurely bath right before coming to the Alec Azul continent. Perhaps this is the only dimension mover who came to take a bath.} {
According to Alec’s story, the manager seems to provide newbie wear in situations where the dimension mover does not bring clothes or the clothes are damaged. }
Actually, with this much information, I could go to the manager and ask, but I didn’t want to get help from someone who was looking for memories.
I’m not going to be able to help you properly anyway.
“Now that I’ve told you what I know, it’s also a give and take. I want you to tell me about a way to get back to Earth.}”
“{I will.}”
Alec smirked.
It’s a very bad guy who wants to exchange SSS-level secret information with just taking a bath, but I wasn’t too upset because I was planning to pamper him in the future.
‘Good. I was thinking of hiring a black magician.’
Black magicians can attract aggro to the Church just by being there. He is a thorn in the eyes of the church because he is already acting as a healer, but if he brings a blood mage along with him, the anger of the church will soar endlessly.
‘I’ll roll just enough to not die.’
-“{…Something like that happened.}”
The manager’s purpose or the truth in the status window The identity of the black star The reason why they were chosen as dimension movers The way to return to Earth, etc.
Kang Seung-hyeon explained what the manager contacted him and the information he learned in the process.
“{Perhaps very few people know this information. If you don’t get the black star, you can’t even communicate with the manager.}”
“{Hmm…}”
Alec was surprisingly calm after hearing the story.
I thought it would be a bit more riotous, but it was a face that was thinking about something calmly.
“{I thought this story would last for dozens of hours, but I thought it would end so quickly.}” “{
Is that a problem?}”
Then it is.
I was concerned about the length, not the content.
“{Do I really need to talk at length? It is enough to organize and explain only the essential parts}” “
{It would have been nice if that wonderful theory was reflected in that epic 4-hour long story.}” “{
Anyway, this is the purpose of Kim Ho-jung and me.}”
-Sung Destroy artifacts to refill the [Bowl of Divinity].
– To withstand the check of the church coming from there.
– Prepare to fight the divine being.
-Fuck the manager.
-Just aggro.
– Doing all of these while having fun.
“{Speaking of feelings… There are only things that make me want to be crazy.}” A
sane person would run away right away, but
“{In a word, it means that it is a must.}” “
{As expected, this is Alec.} ”
“{Let’s do better in the future, brother.}”
Alec accepted the offer as if he had been waiting for it because he wasn’t particularly sane.
So Kang Seung-hyun’s party became a party with a strange combination of a wild healer, a black beast, and a blood mage.
‘It seems like this is only a collection of jobs that the Church hates.’
-”{By the way, I never thought there would be a hidden quest. I was eliminated in the preliminaries.}”
“{Eliminated in the preliminaries?}”
“{Because I joined the church. The black star has crossed the water.}”
Alec showed the back of his hand with a regretful face.
As he concentrated his dark magic, a red tattoo appeared on the back of his hand.
“{Of course, it’s not a cult, but a cult.}” “
{It’s a sign of the Sehmet Church.}”
Sehmet is one of the black gods, a divine being who handles tainted holy power. It goes very well with the Blood Sorcerer.
If you become a follower of Sehmet, you can receive useful skills or items for bloodshed, so it seems that Alec joined the Sehmet Church aiming for that.
“{Well, if I told you not to join the church, you wouldn’t have entered.}”
Those who have already joined the church or signed a contract with a divine being will literally never be able to acquire the Black Star unless they return.
The cult that worships the Black God, which is not a general denomination, is no exception, so Alec can’t get the Black Star.
“{Then it’s a victory for me who never joined any denomination.}” “
{Kuh! I concede defeat…!}”
It wasn’t just Alec, but most dimension movers joined a church or signed a contract with a divine being in order to gain some kind of benefit for rapid growth.
‘For now, those who enjoy it must be 100%.’
Of course, it was not unexpected that there would be events or hidden pieces that occur when dimension movers do not join any church due to the nature of those who enjoy.
“{I was thinking of joining the Church for the first round and then returning later to play as the NOT Church… I never thought there would be friendly people first.}” “{Why are you so sure you can
return?}” “
{Return. is common sense.}”
It’s a problem because most of them think this way.
“{Well… the important story is over, so let’s wrap it up roughly.}”
Kang Seung-hyun checked the mana watch.
Now, the time zone is closer to morning than night.
“{Um… I’ve finished drinking and I’m tired from listening to the long story… We’ll talk more about it later.}”
Alec muttered, yawning loudly.
“{Let’s end it here today.}”
-And the next day… no, a few hours later in the afternoon.
Kang Seung-hyeon was able to wake up in a state that wasn’t too bad for drinking until late.
‘What time is it?’
Let’s check the mana watch. Around 3pm.
It’s time for others to spend their daily lives for a while.
‘It’s time to move slowly.’
Seunghyun Kang opened his eyes and looked around.
“{Curr…}”
The Black Beast. No, the thug was still busy sleeping.
“…Zz z.”
Alec, who drank twice as much alcohol as Kang Seung-hyun, showed no signs of waking up.
‘Let’s go and eat.’
Just like the early bird catches the worm.
Only party members who wake up early can eat.
Kang Seung-hyeon threw away the loyalty of waking up his colleagues and went out to eat alone in the tent.
-“Welcome, Mr. Kang!”
Upon entering the Bitspole inn, Julia greeted Kang Seung-hyeon with a smile.
Julia was polishing the inn windows.
slurp.
It was long after lunchtime, so the inn restaurant was very quiet.
As if everyone had gone to work, the only customer inside was an adventurer drinking milk.
“It’s a bit ambiguous time for a meal, so I’ll order a sandwich that’s easy to eat.”
“Yes, I will make it right away.”
Julia stopped cleaning the windows and headed to the kitchen. I noticed then, but it was blood on the window.
‘It was buried by Alec during the blood fountain show yesterday.’
If this were Korea, there would have been complaints as soon as they saw the blood splashing on the window, but
‘It’s a common occurrence in the Azul continent.’
Places where many adventurers gather, such as inns and bars, tend to bleed a lot, so no one cares about blood splashing on the windows.
‘Since the guests don’t care like this, even the inn employees are often rude.’
Julia didn’t.
When she had a little spare time, she tidied up the messy shop.
Apparently yesterday I was so busy at the inn that I couldn’t touch the window.
‘This is why I like this place.’
99% of the reason why Bitspole Inn has such a good reputation is thanks to Julia.
The remaining 1% is location selection.
‘But the hardened blood won’t wash off with water…’
Kang Seung-hyun [sprayed] the Latasia potion toward the window.
Whoa!
The dried blood on the windowpanes oxidized, giving off a bright light.
“The sandwich set you ordered is here.”
Soon, Julia brought the food she ordered with a bright face. It’s a bitzpole sandwich that eats grilled rabbit meat between bread.
‘As expected, this is the best way to taste meat at a low price.’
While Kang Seung-hyun was eating a sandwich, Julia went back to cleaning the windows.
“uh? Did Mr. Kang clean up by any chance?”
“I only sprayed one Latasia potion.”
“oh my god! thank you!”
Julia was overjoyed and wiped the windows.
It was because Latasia Potion was difficult to obtain in the western part of the continent, so it was not something that the inn employee could obtain.
“It seems like I haven’t seen you in quite a while, but Julia-san is still the same.”
“Of course it has to be done.”
“Others don’t take that for granted.”
The reason Kang Seung-hyeon likes Julia is because she is faithful to her work without any complicated thoughts.
“There are so many inns with poor service when I look around the Azul Continent.”
“Take it easy. Our Bitspole inn always provides the best service!”
Julia wiped the windows clean.
Like the twinkling windows, Julia’s life seems to be shining brightly.
“Oh, did anything special happen while I was away?”
“Is it something special?”
“Little things are fine. Or something that happened in the village during that time.”
And one more thing.
The reason Kang Seung-hyeon has a good impression of Julia is to hear the news of the village or the rumors of adventurers.
‘It feels a bit like a bulletin board NPC.’
Julia doesn’t usually go out of the inn, but she’s such a reputable lady that she can access all sorts of information just by sitting in the inn.
“Hmm…”
Julia thought for a moment, then looked out the window and said.
“From what Mr. Kang hears, it may not sound like anything special, but a few days ago Mr. Matria’s pig gave birth to a baby. So I went to visit and there were 6 cute little pigs.”
“okay.”
“And it seems that some people believe in a denomination they have never heard of.”
“is that so.”
“Ah, not too long ago, branch manager Li Wen held a celebration party to commemorate Mr. Kang’s departure from the village.”
“You’re still such a dope bastard.”
It seems that they even held a ceremony to tell them not to come again, but it seemed to have no effect at all, so Kang Seung-hyun proudly returned and fed them a huge taffy.
“Immediately after Kang Seung-hyun left, members of the church were busy with something… I don’t know the details.”
“Because they always pretend to be serious.”
“And… ah!”
Julia shouted as if thinking of something.
“There is an item I was asked to deliver to Mr. Kang!”
