421. Ghost Pepper Village 3
Anyway, Alec was imprisoned in a dark magic sealed prison like a top-notch criminal, but currently the apostles of the Sehmet Church are being guarded by priests and followers in the highest-class VIP safe room.
“{Even though apostles are stronger than ordinary believers, humans are humans. It’s not invincible. If you get injured, you become weak and eventually die.}” “
{That’s right.}”
Kang Seung-hyeon, who has sliced up not only an apostle but also a godly being with half a penny, nodded his head.
“{Because it is not easy for black magicians to be healed, either.}”
Min Soo-yeon sighed and crossed her arms.
Since she is an apostle with a Dark Priest job, she can quickly self-heal, but other apostles do not.
There was such a thing as Sehmet being the goddess of blood and slaughter, but basically, it was because the powers of the black gods did not have recovery-type skills or were weak in many cases.
‘but. I’ll do my best to recover even that kid…’
Kang Seung-hyeon recalled the burning Isle Croa rolling forward in hell.
“{So that’s why we gathered in Ghost Pepper Village.}”
“{Because if there is an injury, we need to be able to get treatment quickly.}”
Unlike the priestly healers of the general church, the Dark Magic Church, whose future and life are bleak, is a priest healer. The Dark Priest is precious.
It was because there were even fewer people with healer talent among the few followers, and there were only a handful of more talented people there.
“{I’m also a priest, but I’m a healer anyway, so I can get around. Everyone else is in the room.}”
“{I must be bored.}”
“{Everyone is having a good time. He said he was playing poker.}”
“{You came to play, not to evacuate.}”
At this point, I feel sorry for Alec, who is confined to solitary confinement.
“{Well… then, when will Cheolhyun be released? No, no, when will he be able to come out?}” “{They just
said he was released…}”
“{Kim Ho-jung, deep down, also thought of Alec as a criminal.} ”
“{It was a slip of the tongue.}”
The thug whimpered and lowered his head.
Lee Ji-ah quickly stroked the thug’s head.
“{Until we find out what they really are and for what purpose they are attacking the apostles, it should be safe here.}” “{Then we should wait until then.}” “{Besides, he’s a blood
mage
. Suyeon Min, who had been talking this far, touched her chin with a puzzled look on her face for a moment
.
‘Come to think of it, is it clean with no scars?’
The human who usually appeared in tatters appeared today with a somewhat sloppy appearance.
‘It’s not like he stopped by somewhere else to recover.’
If the purpose was to heal his wounds in the first place, he would have visited the Dark Magic Tower rather than Ghost Pepper Village.
“{So… what did you guys come for?}”
Min Soo-yeon asked Kang Seung-hyeon and the others instead of Alec, who was absent.
“{I don’t think you came to join the Order, and this is a place where you wouldn’t stop by unless you were a member of the Church of Sehmet.}” It’s not unusual for
outsiders to stop by Ghost Pepper Village as a rest stop for tourism, but neither a black magician nor a member of the Church of Sehmet It’s strange for someone who isn’t even to visit the Sehmet Church.
“{I came here because I have a few questions to ask Sehmet.}” “
{Ask me?}” “
{That’s why I’ve prepared a present for Sehmet.}”
The cart waiting outside the temple is occupied by Lee Ji-ah’s alter ego. I’m keeping the lights on.
“{Things are bad right now. You won’t be allowed to enter the inside of the temple.}”
There is no way to let outsiders into the church as an unknown group that kills the apostles is roaming around.
“{Wow, Cheolhyun is our teammate?}”
“{For now, I take monsters with me.}”
“{I’m not a monster…}”
The goon cried a little.
“{Then, please enter the temple and say just one word.}”
“{Say a word?}”
“{Healer Kang Seung-hyun has come to visit you.}”
“{…}”
“{If you say that, you will understand. It’s because I haven’t met him for the first time.}”
Kang Seung-hyeon replied with a smile.
The attitude of a person who came to meet a divine being is unbelievably arrogant.
However, I thought that he was a very strange character who did not feel like a mere bluff.
“{okay. But now it’s prayer time, so you have to wait. Are you okay?}”
“{Then let’s wait.}”
“Wait this way. I have something to tell Sehmet.”
Kang Seung-hyun nodded, and Min Su-yeon called people and told them the story.
“{We didn’t even eat anyway, so we came right away. Let’s eat something while we wait.}”
“{What about Sehmet Church Seon Ji-guk, which Alec recommended?}” “{
Actually, Alec doesn’t exist.}” “ {…I’m really
surprised .}”
After scanning it, he shifted his gaze to the kongdol who was lying on the floor.
When Min Soo-yeon looked at him, the thug lowered his body and moved behind Kang Seung-hyun.
“{I thought he would make a dimension mover companion.}”
“{I still wouldn’t believe it unless it was Mr. Hojeong.}”
Lee Ji-ah pulled up the punk from the floor.
The thugs scattered on the floor were dragged with the feeling of a black lump stretching.
“Actually, I’ve been curious
about it since before.
“{I thought the monster’s name was Kim Ho-jeong?}”
“{It’s a human.}”
“{As far as I know, Kim Ho-jeong is the name of Alec’s Ma Chul-hyun’s dead colleague.}”
What the hell happened.
For Min Soo-yeon, who did not know the circumstances, she wondered if Alec was completely insane.
“{Well, it doesn’t matter if I tell Priest Min Soo-yeon.}”
Kang Seung-hyeon looked around and opened his mouth.
“{Ho-jeong Kim, who died at that time, is this garbage bag-like mass.}” “
{A garbage bag…}”
“{Then did you say that he was resurrected as an undead? But…}”
I didn’t feel any dark magic from the pitch-black lump calling itself Kim Ho-jeong.
If you really died and were resurrected as undead, it would be normal if you radiated black magic.
“{We don’t know the details either. Even the person in question doesn’t know why he was resurrected.}” “
{When he opened his eyes, he was alive.}” “
{But Sehmet-nim came because he thought he might know something.}” “{Sehmet-nim?}” “
{Sehmet-sama?}
” Because Kim Ho-jeong was resurrected in this way because it was related to a tailor named ‘Shin Yu-jun’.}” “{
Shin Yu-jun…}”
Min Su-yeon also knew Shin Yu-jun very well.
Because I heard directly from the person concerned what happened that day.
“{A ‘tailor’ came to Mr. Alec not too long ago.}” “
{They finally met again.}”
“{This and that happened, and the tailor left… But in the process, Shin Yoo-jun was involved in Kim Ho-jung’s resurrection. To be
more precise, it is the relationship between the identity of the black beast and Sehmet, but there is no reason to reveal that much.
“{That’s why I came to hear about what happened that day. I wonder what Shin Yu-jun did to bring a normal dead person back to life like this.}” “{
If that’s the reason… I’m curious too.}”
Bang, bang, bang!
Drooling!
“Priest Min!”
While talking for a while, several church priests hurriedly came inside.
“What is going on?”
“Sehmet’s oracle has come down!”
“Treat Kang Seung-hyeon and his party who visited the temple as members of the Church of Sehmet!”
With those words, the church priests presented the uniforms of the Sehmet Church.
In other words, it means that Kang Seung-hyeon and his party will be allowed to come inside the temple and offer sacrifices.
“If you pretend, you pretend.”
“Yah-ho!”
“But Sehmet-nim said she wanted to talk to Kang Seung-hyun-nim alone. Colleagues wait here or feel free to look inside the temple…”
The priests bowed their heads while saying this.
“Then it’s good for me.”
“Then I’m fine.”
Two people, but one mind.
The two turned their backs without hesitation.
“You’re giving me a chance to talk alone, but there’s no reason to refuse.”
“There is no reason to refuse the opportunity to tour.”
“Normally, one-on-one encounters with divine beings are often nerve-wracking, but you don’t mind at all.”
“It’s rather nice.”
“That’s because I’m not going.”
“…”
It was Min Su-yeon who also thought it was Alec’s colleagues.
“{I’m going to visit Uncle Ho-jeong’s temple.}” “
{Is it okay if I go alone, Mr. Kang…}” “{
The most useless worries in the world are worrying about celebrities and worrying about Kang Seung-hyun.}” “{
That’s true, but… .}”
“{Sooyeon, please guide us to our temple.}”
“{Okay. There’s nothing particularly worth seeing.}”
The four people + priests + something like a black dog entered the temple.
“{What’s over there, unnie, it’s so noisy?}”
“{It’s the main hall in front of the VIP room. Priest knights are lurking in the room on the other side.}” “
{Then, this is where the apostles of the Sehmet Order live.}” “{
It looks like an apostle MT meeting.}”
This hallway is as large and spacious as the main hall, so it can be used as a hotel lounge or break room. A few people were playing in a casual atmosphere, playing poker or chatting among themselves.
“…”
But I felt something strange.
I couldn’t pinpoint what it was, but it felt kind of sticky.
‘It must be a safe place, but something feels strange.’
It is a space where the apostles of the church are hiding from danger, but I felt a sense of tension rather than a sense of security.
It should be said that it feels like a snake and a mouse are hidden together in a narrow box.
“Who are Min Soo-yeon?”
“It’s the first time I see your face. Were there any kids like that among the apostles?”
“Not an apostle, but Sehmet’s special guest.”
“okay?”
Among them, a man with brown hair smiled and approached Kang Seung-hyun and his group.
“{nice to meet. You guys are also dimension movers, right?}”
“Huh?”
“{Here are friends who are not dimensional movers, so let’s turn off communication and talk comfortably. Ah, my name is Yuri Seo.}”
