How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 12
12. A welcome person
The inside of the bar was crowded with people.
A man who wears a hood over a crowd of drinkers making his face red, or a woman who clinks glasses with her colleagues. A wizard who only eats snacks instead of alcohol.
And even a log that aims for drunken people’s pockets.
“What about this? There are no seats for guests right now.”
“There are a lot of people.”
The tavern proprietress looked around the store very sorry.
“I think you should sit together or go to another store.”
“Um…”
The mushroom and potato stew sold here is exquisite. Not to mention the grilled skewers that go with it.
Kang Seung-hyun did not want to go to another store.
‘Shall we join?’
In the Azul Continent, coalescence is a common occurrence. Adventurers without a face chat, exchange information, and form teams on the spot.
“Sensei Kang!”
Then someone called Seunghyun Kang. As she turned her head, she realized that a hooded man was calling her.
“Here, here!”
The man took off the hood he was wearing. He was a small man with glasses, round eyes and a beard.
“uh! Kim Ho-jeong!”
“Hey, how long has it been?”
Kang Seung-hyeon was glad to see him and approached him.
The man’s name is Kim Ho-jeong. Like Kang Seung-hyun, he is a dimension mover brought from Korea to the Azul continent.
‘I still want to hold on to another dimension mover and ask him something, but it just went well.’
Kang Seung-hyun joined Kim Ho-jung at the table.
“Probably over a month. Was it two months?”
It is very rare for an adventurer to stay in a village for a long time unless he is a healer. Kim Ho-jung was also on the verge of returning after going quite far for a request.
“I must have made a lot of money this time. Order whatever you want to eat! I shoot today!”
Kim Ho-jeong boasted that this request was successfully completed.
“Oh, how much did you earn?”
“Hmmm. Don’t be surprised, Mr. Kang, listen.”
Kim Ho-jung whispered in a low voice so that others could not hear.
“A whopping… 2 million gold. Awesome, right?”
“Wow, that’s really great.”
“So pick whatever you want to eat!”
Kim Ho-jung gulped down the beer.
“I have a lot of money today hahaha! Add beer here!”
“Ah, Mr. Kim Ho-jung. Would you like a beer on a day like today?”
Kang Seung-hyun stopped Kim Ho-jung from ordering beer. And pointed to the menu board.
“You should try this.”
[Belloto raspberry mead.]
[1900000 gold]
A liquor made with raspberries and honey collected in the Bellotto Mountains. It is a typical celebratory drink that adventurers of the Azul Continent drink when they make a big request.
“Ouch! Mr. Kang! That’s a bit… expensive!”
Kim Ho-jung shouted with a startled face.
Of course, this is the most expensive menu item at the pub in Hind Village. It would be a pittance for aristocrats.
“Of course, it’s true that I hit the jackpot today, but the amount is a bit short…”
“Then I’ll buy it.”
“Eh?”
“I’ll order a Bellotto raspberry mead here.”
“Are you really going to do it?”
Kim Ho-jung shouted with surprised eyes. Seunghyun Kang smiled and showed the ring of mental concentration.
“I picked up an artifact today. It is also a rare artifact.”
“relics? That expensive guy?”
Kim Ho-jung’s mouth fell open.
“What is it, Mr. Kang, who is more successful than me? 2 million gold isn’t even worth bragging about!”
“That’s 1.2 million gold plus.”
“nice! Envy, envy!”
Kim Ho-jeong shouted as she gurgled the remaining beer in her glass.
“Wait and see! Next time I’ll earn 4 million gold and shoot two bottles of mead! Just wait!”
“Ahh, then that’s good for me.”
I would really cry if I found out that the artifact I got today is worth 6.4 million gold. Kang Seung-hyun kept the price of the relic a secret for the mental strength of an old acquaintance.
“A bottle of mead, one mushroom and potato stew and three servings of grilled meat skewers, please.”
“I added a plate of roast rabbit hind legs!”
We each ordered what we wanted to eat and waited for a while.
“The dish you ordered and Velotto raspberry mead came out.”
The hostess put the food down with a smile.
“Seeing that you ordered this precious fellow, it seems that something good happened today.”
“I earned enough to drink celebratory wine today.”
The hard work was dirty, but the reward was sweet.
Kang Seung-hyun poured mead into his glass. It was a dazzlingly beautiful golden liquid.
“Sir Kang. Can I not drink stamina?”
“Oh yes.”
Kang Seung-hyun said to the mistress who was about to leave.
“I’ll also order a stamina potion. About three bottles.”
“All right.”
The hostess soon brought three bottles of bright yellow potion. Kang Seung-hyun mixed the mead with a stamina potion.
“aka Stamina Cocktail.”
“Mr. Kang must be very cumbersome. Because I have to pay attention to stamina and stats.”
“What is it?”
Stamina is a separate stat from physical strength.
If stamina means vitality, stamina is energy energy. People whose stamina drops to 0 will either fall asleep or pass out from exhaustion.
‘Put simply, fatigue. The stamina potion is fatigue recovery paper from the Azul Continent.’
Usually, stamina potions are used by adventurers to relieve fatigue by buying one or two bottles or mixing them with alcohol. Stamina can be recovered quickly just by resting, so there is no need to carry potions.
But it wasn’t Kang Seung-hyun. No one else knew about it, but it was a necessity to him.
“Because I can’t use the skill without it.”
Seunghyun Kang opened the status window.
The magic stat did not appear on his status window. Instead, there were only physical strength and stamina stats.
-Everyone on the Azul Continent has magic. Aristocrats as well as ordinary farmers who farm.
‘Each person has a different amount of magical power, and common people’s magical power crawls on the floor.’
However, Kang Seung-hyun did not possess magical powers. It wasn’t to a low degree, but there was no such thing as magic power in the body.
‘If I had at least 1 magical power, I would have been able to use the [Beginner Healing] scroll I bought with a large sum of money from the church priest.’
So at first I thought of this.
‘Is it possible that I’m not from the Azul Continent and come from another dimension and don’t have magic?’
However, except Kang Seung-hyun, all other dimension movers had magical powers. It was the same with Kim Ho-jeong in front of me.
“I thought you were joking when I first heard about it.”
“It turned out that I was the one with the problem…”
“But what? Are you better than me? Anyway, it’s not uncomfortable to use skills!”
Kim Ho-jung giggled and drank.
Kang Seung-Hyun consumed stamina when using skills instead of having no magic power.
As you can tell just by looking at what other people didn’t notice, her stamina skills were no different from other people’s magic skills.
‘On the contrary, stamina potions are much cheaper than magic potions, so it’s a bargain in terms of price.’
Although it has the downside of being unable to move when stamina reaches 0, or making it difficult to use objects that use magic.
“It’s not like there aren’t any advantages.”
Thanks to the use of stamina instead of magical power, Kang Seung-hyun can use the skill even in situations where magical power is nullified.
There are downsides, but there are certainly advantages as well. So Kang Seung-hyun had no complaints about him.
‘The problem now is that I can’t use heels.’
Kang Seung-hyun is a dimension mover with a healer concept who gets points when he heals others.
So, the most important skill for a healer is heal, but Kang Seung-hyun did not get a heal.
This is because it did not come out even after spinning the roulette to get points.
“Isn’t an important skill a skill that needs to be given from the start?”
“I know yeah. I can’t even use my skills normally!”
“I bought a skill scroll, but I can’t even use it.”
At first, I thought about doing something else, but in order to become a dimension mover, I had to collect points at all costs.
‘A miraculous balance that gives healer aptitude but can’t use heal.’
And the only way for Kang Seung-hyun to earn points is to treat others.
‘I can just do a healer without a heel.’
I can’t use heal, but there is a skill that can replace it. That’s how Kang Seung-hyun learned to live as a wild healer.
Although each skill was lagging behind compared to heal, when used in combination, it was possible to achieve performance comparable to heal.
“Honestly, if you’re going to pay expensive money and get healed, it’s much better to get healed cheaply from Mr. Kang.”
“Heal is definitely a good skill, but it’s because the people who use it are stupid.”
The reason Kang Seung-hyun can live as a wild healer in the Azul Continent is because of the loophole of the healer.
Poison and disease cannot be cured with only the typical loophole heal. You can tell just by looking at Ruth Taker. Even if you use heal on poison, it only delays the symptoms, and it is impossible to cure it.
“You must have detoxification skills, right?”
“That’s right. Anti-poison or something.”
“But because of idiots who think heels are the best and only use heels, there are many cases where the treatment period is missed.”
Proper treatment should provide patients with the appropriate treatment for their symptoms. However, the majority of healers pour heels and extort money.
“Sometimes people think that if they get healed, they will get better, and then they just go back, and the poison spreads through the night, and they are found dead in the morning.”
Kang Seung-hyeon tried to save such poor friends and treated them while eating curses. A little reward and points are a bonus.
“Anyway, I’ve heard of a strange idiot healer who doesn’t know how to heal, but I’m going to push through because it’s fun.”
“Nana and Kang-sensei both have the same strange concept.”
Kim Ho-jeong giggled and filled her glass with mead.
“Now, let’s have a toast with the guys with the stupid concept!”
“For those who live on the Azul Continent with this ability!”
The two clashed glasses. True to its reputation as an expensive celebratory drink, it tasted really good.
“Oh yes.”
“huh? why?”
Kang Seung-hyun, who was drinking, remembered what he was trying to ask Kim Ho-jung.
“I was going to ask Kim Ho-jung something.”
“What is it? Is it important?”
Seunghyun Kang looked around.
I’m thinking of asking about the star attached to the newly acquired skill [Throwing★]. I was wondering if a dimension mover might know something.
“You have a lot of ears to eavesdrop on.”
It’s stupid to talk about secrets in a bar. On the outside, they don’t care about others because they are chatting among themselves, but they don’t know the inside.
‘Because adventurers are sensitive to information.’
The best thing is to move, but Kang Seung-hyun knows a simpler way.
“Turn off God’s communication for a moment.”
When Kang Seung-hyun turned off [Communication with God],
“&$*8#….”
“…##&*[email protected]++.”
The voices I heard around me quickly changed into an incomprehensible language. At the same time, the people of Azul Continent couldn’t understand Kang’s words.
