96. You made up your mind.
“If I don’t leave today, I will have to stay for a month.”
Kim Ho-jung muttered with a confused face.
I had planned to leave Camar soon, but I still intended to take a break for two or three days.
“I was going to take a few days off and leave.”
Instead of getting a good rest, it is time to pack up and run away at night.
“Mr. Kang… What do you think of this?”
“It’s okay to stay for a month.”
Kang Seung-hyun, who was lost in thought, opened his mouth.
If it was about a week, I thought I would take a break and rest.
But no matter how you think about it, it’s not even a month.
‘I don’t have any urgent business, but I hate being confined to the city for a whole month.’
If the closed barrier is activated, Camar will be safe, but instead, adventurers have nothing to do.
‘If there are no monsters to defeat, there will be no patients to treat.’
Kang Seung-hyun cannot earn points if he has no patients to treat. In addition, most of the points accumulated so far have been used to pick up new skills.
‘It would be right to leave soon.’
There is no reason to stay in Camar anymore.
If you want to earn points, the answer is to leave now.
“Hiding for a whole month is not good for my personality.”
“I agree with what you said too.”
Kim Ho-jeong nodded.
Both of them prefer to move directly rather than sit still and wait.
“Let’s get ready and leave right now.”
They decided to leave Camar without hesitation.
-“I’ll have to redo the route first.”
“Let’s borrow a table.”
“Ah yes….”
Cheerureuk.
Kang Seung-hyeon spread out a map of the Camar area on the table.
“I can’t borrow a carriage… so I guess I’ll have to walk from now on?”
“It’s not to the extent that you can’t walk, but you will get tired quickly.”
It’s tiring to just walk, but you have to fight monsters in between.
Build a bonfire there and go to bed outdoors.
“Besides, we can’t cook properly, so it must be a really beggarly camping trip.”
“Let’s buy lunch boxes or hire a cook…”
I can’t even rest properly, and I have to go while eating poor food.
Just imagining it would be a terrible trip.
“That’s what I thought.”
Seunghyun Kang pointed to the map and said.
“I wondered if we could borrow a wagon from another village.”
It’s built over Lake Camarilla, so if you close the bridge, carriages won’t be able to pass through, but it’s not another village.
“I’ll still have to walk for half a day… but it’s better than walking for a whole week.”
“But wouldn’t the coachmen be afraid to go out of town?”
Right now, the area around Lake Pitsta is infested with monsters attracted by magical powers. In addition, the wagon is more likely to be attacked by monsters because of the noise.
“If you pay a lot, it will take one guy.”
“There’s nothing you can do about it if it’s money.”
A normal person would say no to giving money, but wherever people live, there is always a person who is crazy about money.
“Lord Gabain, are there any towns within walking distance where I can rent a carriage?”
“Umm…”
Gabain, who was looking at the map, twitched his chin.
“Any town worth renting a carriage for in this situation…”
Gabain’s hand pointed at the map.
“Now there is only Tracotti Village.”
Tracotti.
It is the only inhabited village in the vast and gloomy red forest north of Lake Pitzta.
“Tracothi has a unique carriage that cannot be found in other regions. If you borrow it, you will be able to pass through the monsters.”
“Then I should go there.”
Hearing the recommendation of Lord Gabain, Kang Seung-hyeon decided to head for Tracotti.
“The problem is that in order to get to the Red Forest from Camar, you have to cross Lake Pitsta…”
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at Kim Ho-jung.
It was a face that looked like it would die any minute.
“I have to cross the lake…”
“I’ll have to rent a boat to do that.”
“I have to get on a boat…”
It sounds like a thunderclap to Kim Ho-jung, who suffers from seasickness.
“I’m fine with Joe… I’m going to swim, so the teacher will follow me on a boat.”
“It would be possible if Lake Pitsta were the size of a local swimming pool.”
Unfortunately, Lake Pitsta is so huge that a lake city has been built.
If you try to swim across it, you will get exhausted and drown.
“Then make me a fainting pill. I will sleep until I cross the lake.”
“It’s a good choice, but when a monster appears, I have to fight while protecting Kim Ho-jung.”
Stamina drains faster when fighting on a rocking boat.
Should I protect my comrade sleeping there?
There is no such thing as suffering.
“If you die by drowning, there is no answer.”
“I can’t even take motion sickness medicine… I can’t even play games because I’m dizzy…”
“Then I need some help at this point.”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled and looked at the lord of Gabain.
“Since I received the Magic Association as my reward, I want to receive Kim Ho-jung’s share of the reward this time.”
“compensation?”
He didn’t change his expression and continued talking with a shameless face.
“yes. My comrade’s share of the reward.”
“Oh no… If it’s a reward, didn’t it end with the Magic Association?”
Lord Gabain looked very flustered, but
said, “Unlike Mr. Kang, I am not a wizard. Even if the Magic Association forms, it has nothing to do with me.”
“No, even if that’s the case…”
“Kim Ho-jeong did a great job in this raid. Of course, you have to give me an appropriate reward, right?”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were steadfast.
“What is this time? You’re not asking me to build something like a magic tower, right?”
“It’s cheap compared to the Magic Association.”
Seunghyun Kang said with a smile.
“It would be nice if Mr. Kim Ho-jeong and I could support the necessary items and travel expenses when we go back to Hind Village.”
“That much is fine…”
Lord Gabain sighed with a relieved face.
No matter how expensive it is, it will be cheaper than building a building.
“Good. Say anything you need.”
“Did you just say ‘whatever’?”
As if he had been waiting for those words, Seunghyun Kang took out a notebook from his pocket.
“First of all, food.”
Food is the most important thing when going on a long journey.
Even the strongest adventurers cannot fight if they are hungry.
“The full-scale food preparation will be done in Tracotti Village, so please prepare only emergency food and money. A set of potion boxes too.”
“I don’t need magic potions, so I don’t need to give them.”
I’m leaving today, so I don’t have time to prepare a separate lunch box. However, if you take only the ingredients, it is obvious that it will become food waste.
“Okay. Emergency food and food expenses… Would it be enough for the two of us?”
“Then labor costs.”
“personnel expenses?”
“I heard that the red forest is easy to get lost in.”
It is so vast and gloomy even in the daytime that it is easy for outsiders who do not know the geography to get lost.
“Find guides to guide us to Trakoti Village.”
Among the people who were tied up in Camar due to the Mage Tower incident, there must be people from Tricotti Village.
Kang Seung-hyeon was thinking of hiring them as guides.
“Most of them will not leave Camar because they are afraid of monsters, but there will be at least one person who wants to go to the village.”
“yes. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait a month.”
“Even if you don’t have one, if you say that we will escort you and pay for your troubles… you will feel better.”
“Ah~ If this is me, I do it unconditionally. I really can’t.”
Kim Ho-jeong nodded and agreed.
Since ancient times, money has been the best solution to problems.
“Of course, but you have to pay for the guide’s share of food.”
And all the money is going to be given by the lord of Kamar.
“Okay. I’ll release people right away and find people to guide me through the Red Forest. Could this be it?”
“no. We still need a lot.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and handed over the notebook.
“Of course, you will need a boat to cross the lake. Please prepare a ferry to go to the Red Forest.”
Transportation costs will also be subsidized by Camar.
“Okay. I will support you as well.”
“We will row the boat by ourselves, so there is no need for a boatman. So, a guy who will be used once and thrown away.”
After Kang Seung-hyeon and his party cross the lake, Camar will open a barrier and seal the city.
So it’s better to take a boat that will be used and discarded from the beginning.
“Okay. So will this be enough?”
“no. We are still far away.”
“yet?”
“It’s dangerous to just go out.”
Now, Lake Pitsta has turned into a monster den.
Monsters will attack as soon as you launch the ship.
“Well, it would be a few fish, but shouldn’t I or Mr. Kang scoop out the sashimi?”
“We’ll be fine, but not the ship.”
No matter how strong Kang Seung-hyeon and his party are, they cannot cross the lake if the boat cannot withstand the monster’s attack.
If there is a hole in the boat, it is the end.
“Then what should I do?”
“Wizards have to step in.”
Kang Seung-hyeon turned over another page of his notebook.
“Please enchant the ship we will board.”
“Enchant the ship?”
enchantment.
A skill that grants enchantment to a specific item.
Naturally, the larger the size of the item and the more complex the magic, the higher the difficulty.
‘Simply put, it’s a skill that adds additional options to items.’
Usually, it is a skill that is only used for weapons or accessories that will be used for a long time.
However, Kang Seung-hyun suggested that such a technology be hung on a disposable boat.
“If you want to enchant a ship that can carry people, an enormous amount of enchantment powder will go into it…
”
“There are few enchanted ships in Kamar.”
“Isn’t this a bit off!”
The nobles of Kamar shouted, but
“I’m going to float on the lake, so I want to cross quickly, so I want to cross quickly, so I need to use the underwater movement speed increase magic. My dear friend has severe seasickness, so I have to endure the seasickness prevention magic. Eh…”
Kang Seung-hyeon ignored them and read the list he had prepared in advance.
“…So I’d like you to get me a disposable ferry that has all the following magics attached to it.”
“Huh.”
“Anything else, to use a ship that received a lot of enchantments for one-time use…”
Not as much as the Magic Association, but a huge expenditure is expected.
The wizards, as well as the lord, were mesmerized.
“No matter how much I think about this… it’s too much…”
the words I wanted to say rose to my throat.
“So no?”
“Oh no, I don’t mean no…”
The coward Youngju, mistaking Kang Seung-hyun for the strongest anti-magician, couldn’t possibly refuse.
“It will be possible before the closed barrier opens, right?”
“It’s possible…”
“Then please.”
Kang Seung-hyeon bowed politely and left, leaving Yeong-joo behind.
“Somehow, I thought Mr. Kang would tear it off less than usual. You made up your mind.”
“I have to get this much for the price of one city.”
Kang Seung-hyun said with a very refreshing face.
He said there is nothing more enjoyable than legitimately ripping something off someone else.
“But what do we do until the ship is ready?”
“Let’s go to the Adventurers’ Guild.”
Before leaving Camar, there is something to check at the Adventurer’s Guild.
