How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 148
148. Muddy Town 1
“You look busy, so I couldn’t speak to you properly.”
“I’m a bit free now.”
I turned around and saw a hooded woman approaching me, very happy.
“Thank you very much. Thanks to that, I was treated comfortably.”
“no. I was just repaying the favor I received from Healer Kang Seung-hyun.”
The hooded woman laughed shyly.
He said that he couldn’t bear to be misunderstood by a great healer who treated his colleagues wonderfully.
“I was actually a bit surprised. I knew he was a great person, but I never thought that he would make a missing hand and cure it!”
“This is the first time I’ve ever made one.”
It’s not just making hands, it’s a way to implement bones and flesh one by one and place them. It was something no healer had ever done before.
“Oh, my name is Rebecca. Is it a bit late to introduce yourself?”
“As you already know, I am Kang Seung-hyun’s Healer.”
The two shook hands lightly and introduced themselves.
The woman, who identified herself as Rebecca, smiled softly.
“Actually, I came because I thought I couldn’t find a place to stay. I heard there are almost no vacancies at the inn right now.”
“Ah, that’s no problem. I got my hands on a grade A room.”
Kang Seung-hyeon showed the key to the union lodging.
It was a key with an impressive decoration that symbolizes an A-class accommodation.
“Oh my god, did you solve the A-class quest? In that short time?”
“What happened?”
“What our party has prepared is, at best, a B-class room. You can’t rent a B-class room to someone who has an A-class room.”
Rebecca showed the key to the Class B hostel and said with a shy face.
“I wanted to be helpful, but I’m sorry for wasting your time.”
“Yes, you know…”
Kang Seung-hyun tried to answer naturally, but looked at Rebecca’s hooded face. Red hair peeked through the hood.
“Oh, you can see the hair.”
“yes? omg!”
Rebecca looked in the mirror with a surprised face and tidied her hair out of sight.
“It’s like when the hood came off earlier. It seems like you’re deliberately hiding your hair color.”
Kang Seung-hyun looked around lightly and asked,
“What is the reason? I think you are from Tracotti.”
“Oh, you are sharp. I am Tracotti.”
Rebecca looked around and carefully removed the hood. The long, bright red hair that symbolizes Tracotti flowed down.
“Actually, my family really hates working as an adventurer. Normally, I just go there, but only when I come to Tracotti, I am disguised like this.”
It turns out that Rebecca was hiding her identity as an adventurer so that her family wouldn’t find out.
Of course, Rebecca is also a pseudonym, not her real name.
“You must be bothered by this. Like me, I would never go back to my hometown.”
“My family is annoying, but I like Tracotti. I have precious friends, the scenery is wonderful, the food is delicious, and…”
Rebecca talked about the town for a while, then smiled brightly as if she had a good idea.
“Ah, if you don’t mind, can I guide you through Tracotti Village? It’s not such a big town, but there are restaurants that only locals know about!”
“A village guide…”
Even so, Kang Seung-hyun had a few things he wanted to investigate about Tracotti.
The abnormal phenomena that appeared in the Red Forest, or the sealed box of holy relics found in a town without a church.
‘It would be easier if someone who knows the village well cooperated rather than me researching alone.’
Seunghyun Kang nodded and accepted Rebecca’s offer.
“Thank you for guiding me.”
“We are also staying at the Adventurers Guild, so please contact us when the time comes tomorrow!”
“Then let’s go eat lunch.”
“yes~.”
Rebecca left with a smile.
-Lunch the next day.
Seunghyun Kang was having a late breakfast in his room.
‘Guys in the union… Are they giving adventurers a trashy diet and serving such a luxurious meal for the branch manager?’
Even though it was temporary, Kang Seung-hyun’s meal was as luxurious as a hotel as he had the status of a branch manager.
‘Well, the Tracotti Adventurers Guild’s menu is good for the price and the taste is good.’
Unlike Hind Village, which had no budget because the branch manager was busy eating everything, in Tracotti Village, the branch manager was not corrupt, so even ordinary adventurers could eat good food at a low price.
‘What’s wrong with Hind Village? As expected, I have to kill Liwen’s branch manager… No, even if I do, the same guy will come again.’
Kang Seung-hyun roughly emptied the rice bowl.
It tasted good, but I wasn’t in the mood to eat it.
‘Let’s start with what I have to do.’
Kang Seung-hyun got up from his seat and finished cleaning up and moved to the next room. Kim Ho-jeong was eating lunch leisurely.
“Kim Ho-jung, are you still eating?”
“Because it is delicious.”
“I don’t think it’ll matter if you don’t tell me anything, but… I have nothing to do while I eat, so I’ll explain.”
Kang Seung-hyun briefly talked about what happened yesterday while Kim Ho-jung was sleeping.
Unsealing the box and obtaining [Wizmel’s Left Hand] and turning the Adventurer’s Guild into a healing center.
And even the story of Rebecca.
“What, I just closed my eyes for a little bit, but in the meantime, how many things did you do?”
“There are only three.”
“Aren’t all three of them great things, one by one? You said you got something like Pria’s crossbow again?”
“yes. This is [Wismel’s left hand].”
When Seunghyun Kang activated the skill, a unique tattoo appeared on his left hand.
“It’s like a free one-time tattoo.”
“Wizmel will cry when he hears it.”
“And like this…”
He put his hand into a flower pot in the room with [Wizmel’s Left Hand] activated, and then activated the
[Earth Bone]
skill to start creating bones.
“I can craft bones.”
“It’s scary. It looks like a skeleton is crawling out.”
“It’s kind of medical, right? It’s not legal.”
Kang Seung-hyeon took out one of the finger bones from among the bones created in the soil and poured a stamina potion on it.
[Illusory Flesh]
When the skill was activated in that state, the potion boiled and turned into flesh.
Just like yesterday, Kang Seung-hyun placed blood vessels and muscles and covered the skin to create a severed finger.
“If you combine it with your existing skills, you can use it like this.”
“no. You don’t have to reproduce it like that.”
“Shall I give it to you as a souvenir?”
“it’s okay! Where are you going to use that!”
Of course, Kim Ho-jung, who saw the finger, hated it.
It was so unnecessarily realistic and detailed that it was like a finger that had just been cut off.
“But that’s great. Attaching a severed hand is also surprising, but to make and attach a missing hand as well.”
A skill that recreates missing body parts.
At first glance, it feels like an open fire skill, but in the end, it is a meaningless skill if the caster does not have excellent anatomy or medical knowledge.
“Because I became Teacher Kang, I use those things. If I had a skill like that, I would make chicken legs.”
Kim Ho-jeong sighed deeply and said.
If you think about it, most of Kang Seung-hyun’s skills were often unable to perform at their full potential if someone else used them.
“You know that. Because I am, this is possible.”
“It’s not like there’s a book next to it… How do you make it without looking at it?”
“You can give him a mouse with a medical book and let him play.”
“No, no matter how bored you are, there are kids who play while watching something like that.”
“Anyway, you just have to memorize everything.”
In the end, in order to properly use [Flesh of Illusion] and [Bone of the Earth], I had no choice but to cram all sorts of knowledge into my head.
“The finger made this way is 99% similar to the real one, but…”
Kang Seung-hyun looked around at the finger he made and then used [Disassemble ★].
Smack!
The flesh melted away and turned into stamina, and the finger bones exposed between them returned to a handful of dirt.
“The downside is that it melts when hit by the [Disintegration] skill like this.”
“Who would try to disassemble a finger?”
Kim Ho-jeong laughed as if it was absurd.
“Seeing how you make bones and flesh… Will you make a human soon?”
“That is difficult. I haven’t been able to make proper internal organs yet.”
[Flesh of an illusion] can be used to make things that are visceral, but the durability is too weak to perfectly replace a damaged body like skin or muscles.
“Let’s talk about internal organs later…”
Kang Seung-hyun opened the status window while drinking a stamina potion.
“What I’m concerned about right now is the achievement unlocked this time.”
[Accomplishment Achievement: Remains of □ㅎ□□]
[Achieved when obtaining the remains of □ㅎ□□.] Although
the exact conditions are unknown, this achievement is achieved when you put the relic in your inventory.
When you achieve this achievement, a roulette will appear where you can change the acquired relic into a skill and draw an item or reward related to it.
“There is one strange thing. The Orb of Kirkarashtel I have is definitely a holy relic, but nothing happened when I got it.”
“That’s right. Nothing happened when I put it in my inventory.”
Kim Ho-jeong nodded in agreement.
In other words, [□ㅎ□□] is not an achievement that can be unlocked by inserting any holy relic.
‘This must mean that there is something special about Freea’s crossbow or Wismel’s left hand.’
Something special, different from other holy relics.
That something might have to do with the manager’s real purpose.
“Above all, Wismel’s left hand has a lot of suspicious features. Who would do crazy things like cutting off God’s hand and putting it in a box?”
“Um, madness, that. I’m not crazy.”
The only people who would do such an idiot are those from other religious groups who believe in other gods. However, the Red Forest is a place where the church stopped visiting a long time ago.
The only way to answer all these questions is to investigate the Red Forest where the box was found.
“Maybe Tracotti has something to do with it. This village is inseparable from the Red Forest.”
“Then, should we go to the village history center first?”
The box seems to have been made at least a few hundred years ago, so researching the past and history of Tracotti might give you a hint.
“I also hired a guide, so let’s do some research as if we were sightseeing for a while.”
“Tourism… I think it would be a little tough.”
