87. I’ll take care of you 2
“Aren’t those the guests? Why are you in my house…”
She is Seyel Katyler, an appraiser of conscience at the Kamar Relics Appraisal Center.
It turned out that he was Cyril’s younger brother.
“I invited you. Do you even know someone?”
“uh. We just met at the store.”
“You are Cyril’s younger brother. My name is Seunghyun Kang Healer.”
“Here I see you again like this! This is Seyel Katyler!”
Siel was delighted and sat down at the table. I didn’t know it before, but when I saw the two of them standing side by side, their faces looked exactly alike.
“So what’s your relationship with your brother?”
“This is the one who healed me.”
Cyril briefly explained the situation.
Thanks to Kang Seung-hyun, he was able to cure the half-fish, Byun-hwa, and invited him to his house in return.
“Wasn’t he a very wonderful person in the world? I heard that rumor!”
Siyel started talking with a bright face.
“A great healer who single-handedly swept dozens of fishmen from the lake during the day has appeared!”
“Because we need fresh fish livers to make half-fish medicine.”
“I really wanted to meet you once, but there are all these ties!”
The customer who helped me get scammed was the benefactor who saved my brother’s life.
It can’t be a really strange relationship.
“Now that this has happened, take a good rest at my house for about a month. You can sleep in the living room.”
“Who keeps sleeping in the living room? I’m going back to the soldiers quarters too!”
The table quickly became noisy.
“The teacher might be concerned, so go back quickly.”
“Don’t bother asking me or the teacher to show me rare items.”
Although the two bickered constantly, they were close siblings.
“I’ve been wondering since before, what is that sack?”
Kim Ho-jung, who was watching the brother-sister fight, pointed to the sack that Siyell had brought. It was a very heavy, wet sack that had a lot of weight.
“This one? It’s a Sequoia squid.”
rumble.
Ciel poured the sack onto the table, and a pile of dark blue squid spilled out from inside.
“Sequoia Squid?”
“Oh, that’s a real squid.”
Among them, some were the size of a child’s palm, while others were the size of an adult’s forearm.
“It’s one of the freshwater squids that live in Lake Pitsta, but it’s very dirty, so it’s classified as a monster.”
Sequoia squid belongs to hostile monsters. It’s so violent that people attack without hesitation.
“Originally, they couldn’t even approach Camar because of the Mage Tower’s barrier, but now it’s because there’s no barrier…” It
is said that a swarm of Sequoia squids attacked the northern shore of Camar Lake earlier.
They said they fired water cannons in the water because they couldn’t even come out of the lake.
“They attack people, so they’re on their way to hunting with a few adventurers.”
I don’t eat large sequoia squid because it’s tasteless, but this small size is edible.
“It was easy to catch these guys because they go crazy when they see the light. So tomorrow morning is steamed squid!”
Sequoia squid has a tendency to be attracted to bright light.
They say making a light is essential for hunting.
“But a lot is really a lot. A bag the size of a small…”
“I think it’s only been a day or two since the barrier was lifted, but a lot of monsters are coming.”
The number of monsters approaching Kamar is increasing exponentially. It’s because of the powerful mana emanating from the city.
Cyril sighed and said.
“It is unfortunate that there is a lake at least.”
If it wasn’t for Pitsta Lake, the monsters would have already destroyed the walls of Camar.
“The monsters in the lake are also threatening, but there are few monsters that can rise above the water.”
“Some underwater monsters get weaker on land.”
So far, fishmen can be said to be the most threatening monsters.
Because fishmen are pretty strong on land too.
“Originally, fishmen are monsters that live deep in the northern part of Pitsta Lake. I thought I wouldn’t see anything south of the lake.”
I don’t know if it’s because the barrier disappeared, but now it’s starting to appear all over the lake.
Now, you don’t know when and where you will be attacked by fishmen.
“Then the cure must be important.”
It seems that we need to produce the anti-fish cure as soon as possible and supply it to the Kamar government office.
“Then are you going to pick fish livers tomorrow too?”
“Is that so? I just happened to get a good item.”
Now that I have the Fitzta Marine earcuffs, I can move more easily and comfortably in the water.
“Ho-Jung Kim will also go fishing with me tomorrow.”
“It’s good!”
Kim Ho-jeong also has a fitztie earcuff and, above all, is completely immune to mutation, which is ironic.
There is no other colleague who can be more helpful in hunting fishmen.
“Ah, but to do that, I’ll have to leave the weapon repairs to you.”
Now, Kim Ho-jung’s sword is no different from scrap metal.
If you’re going to use something like this, you’d better swing your bare fists.
“A shovel? It suits you well.”
“I left it! Not mine.”
How do you use that as a weapon?
Kim Ho-jung grumbled and said to Siyel.
“Appraiser, can you recommend a good blacksmith or weapon store in Camar?”
“Weapons? Camar is a city of wizards, so there won’t be any shops worth going to other than magic weapons.”
“If you need a weapon repair, you can go to the guard.”
All non-magical weapons related tasks are handled by the Camar Guard.
If you want to buy an ordinary knife, you’ll have to go to the Camar Guard.
“Then tomorrow, let’s stop by the Kamar Guards first.”
“I see.”
Kang Seung-hyun nodded and continued to eat.
– “Then good night.”
“I will rest in peace.”
After the meal, Kang Seung-hyun and his party prepared for bed. As I laid down on the blanket borrowed from Cyril, a warm energy came from the floor.
“Thanks to you, I can spend the night comfortably.”
“It’s nice that the room is warm. After all, it is a city of wizards.”
Kim Ho-jung took off the glasses he was wearing.
“How can I live without this? There is no LASIK surgery on the Azul Continent~.”
Then, after singing a strange song, he used the [Mask Repair] skill.
“okay. Glasses repair complete.”
“That skill looks comfortable.”
[Mask Repair] is a skill that repairs face-mounted accessories. Thanks to that, even if Kim Ho-jung’s glasses are broken or dirty, he can repair them and wear them like new.
“As soon as I came to Azul continent, it was registered in the skill window. It would be nice if they gave you a skill that increases your eyesight.”
“why. The glasses look good on you.”
“It’s inconvenient to wear glasses and live in a tight neighborhood like this.”
Kim Ho-jeong folded her glasses and put them by her bedside.
“Tomorrow, I’ll stop by the Adventurer’s Guild. There are things to check, and if you look for them, there will be a fishman hunting request.”
Adventurers wandering around the Azul Continent exchange news through the Adventurers Guild.
If you need to contact other villages, it is convenient to go through the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Well, I guess I should contact the Hind village inn. I’ll be leaving soon, so don’t leave your room.”
“Then get a good night’s sleep… let’s move tomorrow.”
“good night.”
Cyril’s house was far from the city of Camar, so it was very quiet, only the sound of the lake could be heard.
The two slept like that.
-“….”
How much time had passed Kang Seung-hyun woke up in the middle of the night.
‘What time is it now?’
[03:57]
I checked the time on my mana watch and it was only 4 am. It was in the middle of the night, but I couldn’t sleep because I was in a disturbed mood.
‘Something feels strange.’
It seems that some unpleasant sensation is approaching.
Kang Seung-hyun could not fall asleep and tossed and turned for a while before getting up.
‘Should I drink a glass of water?’
The moment I left the living room, I ran into a man coming down the stairs.
“huh?”
Seeing that she has blue hair like Syel, she seems to be from the Katyler family.
“Who are you?”
“I…”
He tried to pull out his weapon with a wary face, but
“Oh uncle! That is Healer Kang Seung-hyun!”
Cyril, who followed, hurriedly stopped the man.
“Ah, you said you saved Cyril… I almost did a big disservice.”
The man hastily removed his weapon and apologized.
“it’s okay. It’s natural to be wary of strangers in the house.”
“I am Hecaro Katyler. This guy’s uncle.”
The man briefly introduced himself. As explained, he was Cyril’s uncle.
“What are you both doing at this late hour?”
“It’s not like that…”
Cyril said with an awkward smile.
“It’s because the basics of Camar’s soldiers are waking up at 5:00 am at the latest.”
It is said that his eyes opened spontaneously because of his usual habit. The two of them were moving around so as not to disturb others sleeping.
“I’ve been retired for over 20 years, but I’ve gotten used to it.”
Hecaro was also a former member of the Camar Guard, befitting a member of the Katyler family.
It’s also the head of the guard.
“We plan to go to the watchtower, but would you like to come too if you don’t mind?”
“I see.”
Kang Seung-hyun, who must have woken up anyway, followed the two to the watchtower.
“…”
As I climbed onto the watchtower installed at the top of the house, the cool dawn air touched my skin.
Hecaro sat down and polished his weapon.
“When I open my eyes in the morning, I start my day watching the lake.”
Hecaro has retired from military service, but has set up a watchtower in his house, wanting to keep Camar in check.
“Others say that there is a barrier in the magic tower, but they do useless things.”
However, the Kamar wizards laughed at Hecaro, who built a watchtower and watched over the lake.
Anyway, the barrier is a waste of time protecting the city.
“What’s the point of trying to protect my hometown with my own power?”
“That’s why there was a watchtower on the roof of the house.”
Kang Seung-hyeon looked down at the lake through the guard.
A thick fog hung over the surface of the lake.
‘Fog?’
It is not unusual for the lake to be foggy at dawn. But I felt something unpleasant.
I can’t explain it, but it’s a strange feeling.
‘The fog doesn’t spread all over the lake… it feels like it’s gathered in one place.’
If you saw it from the lakeside, you wouldn’t have known it, but looking from the watchtower, the fog felt strange.
‘…Let’s see with the eyes of observation.’
[Observation Eye] is the answer when you feel uneasy about something. When he used the
[Observation Eye]
skill, Seunghyun Kang’s eyes shone blue.
To others, it may look like normal fog, but
[Thick fog]
[It doesn’t dissipate even when the wind blows.]
[It seems like it can be broken with a harpoon arrow.]
In Kang Seung-hyeon’s eyes, who used the [Eye of Observation], all sorts of things could be seen above the fog. information began to appear.
‘…can be broken?’
Normal fog will not display this message. Sounds like something is wrong
[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]
Kang Seung-hyeon aimed the crossbow at the fog.
“Mr. Hecaro.”
“huh?”
“It doesn’t seem like it was useless.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s what made the watchtower.”
[Harpoon Arrow★]
Kang Seung-hyeon pulled the trigger and the black harpoon flew towards the fog above the lake.
Aww!!
The fog started to clear with the sound of something tearing.
‘It was also a skill. Water property skills can’t block harpoon arrows.’
One of the options of the harpoon arrow is [Water property skills cannot block the harpoon arrow].
Seeing that the fog was pierced by the harpoon arrow, the identity of that fog was a skill someone used.
‘There’s no way some crazy person would have sprayed fog on the lake.’
There’s only one guy who can do this.
Seunghyun Kang pointed to the surface and said.
“Look above the water.”
“Those things! Monsters!”
As the fog over the lake disappeared, monsters swimming on the surface appeared.
The fog was camouflage to avoid guard surveillance.
“It looks like they were trying to raid Camar.”
