How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 194
194. Return of Hind 2
The items in the box are all related to the Magic Association. Those are also very expensive.
In other words, the owner of this box was a high-ranking wizard belonging to the Magic Association.
“As expected, the weapon fragments I picked up near the wagon were also his belongings.”
“If it’s the Magic Association… is that so?”
“That’s it.”
A few days ago, Kang Seung-hyun asked the lord of Kamar to build a magic association.
It seems that the plan went smoothly, and the association dispatched someone to conduct a preliminary investigation.
“Your lord did it! That’s great!”
“The problem is that if I don’t find him, the Magic Association construction will go over the water…”
Due to the nature of the Magic Association, the dispatched investigators would not want to build an Association branch in the missing village.
No matter what, the investigators had to be found.
“The labor cost was not a problem.”
“Iknow, right.”
Currently, Kang Seung-hyun is preparing a crazy plan to collect and destroy the holy relics, so he needed someone to tank the aggro of the church and the adventurer’s union.
‘It’s because the Magic Association is perfect for that role.’
This is because wizards are a profession with low reliance on holy relics, and they are a group that overuses holy relics for research.
‘Let’s think positively. Rather, it’s a good thing.’
Taking this incident as an opportunity to create a debt to the Magic Association, it would be easier to keep in check the Adventurers Guild and Church.
“I’ll have to find this friend no matter what.”
“Yes, the Azul Continent is a town where kidnapped people don’t look good.”
“The problem is that I have no idea where it might be.”
The identity of the person taken away was ascertained.
However, it is unknown how or by whom it was attacked.
“Aren’t they not on good terms with the Magic Association? Like a church.”
“It won’t be.”
It is true that when a Magic Association, Church, or new branch is being built, it is checked by hostile forces.
So, when going out for a preliminary investigation, it is basic to thoroughly hide your identity as you do now, so you don’t even know the Order or the Adventurer’s Guild.
“The wagon was attacked for another reason.”
It must have been that the Magic Association inspector was riding in that wagon unluckily, and the purpose was not to aim for the inspector.
“It is very strange. If you’re a wizard belonging to the Magic Association, don’t you have some skills? But why were you robbed?”
“There are many reasons.”
Either you were ambushed or you weren’t in a fighting state.
Or the other person’s skill is very good.
Or that the opponent’s page was too many, so it was applied.
“Even though wizards are strong, they don’t match well with black magicians, and there are many counter jobs like anti magicians.”
It was clear that he was not an average bet, seeing as he defeated a wizard belonging to the Association.
“But isn’t it strange that there are no traces of using the skill at the site?”
The area around the attacked wagon was so clean that it seemed like a simple accident. The fact that it wasn’t caught in the [Observation Eye] means that the skill remnants were intentionally erased.
‘As expected, that rain is suspicious.’
Kang Seung-hyun recalled the pouring rain yesterday.
According to the stable clerk, it had rained the last time, just like now, and there had been an accident with the wagon.
‘It might be a skill that erases traces by making it rain.’
Meteorological phenomenon-related skills belong to high-difficulty skills.
It is so different from simply producing water that few people can handle it.
“I’ll have to find the guy who sprays the rain first.”
“The one who makes it rain? Where can I find it?”
“First of all, the Adventurers Guild…”
“Healer over there?”
At that time, Picaros, who had been awkwardly caught between the two, opened his mouth.
“I don’t know… who are you looking for?”
“Yes.”
Then, he slipped out a business card.
[I’ll find anything – Mr. Alec]
Looking closely, it wasn’t even a business card, it was just scribbles on paper with a pencil.
“I don’t believe it at all.”
“Ah, even if you look at it like this, this friend is really good at finding people! Leave it to me and you will know!”
“It’s not because it’s about you.”
“I washed my hands now! I’m not doing anything bad and I’m living an honest life!”
Picaros shouted desperately.
Kang Seung-hyun looked at him with a face that said he was not the same.
‘It’s not a very trustworthy person, but it’s true that this guy is a talented relic appraiser.’
You can’t expect personality because it’s such a human connection, but one skill is sure.
‘Well, if you cheat again, you’ll kill me, but if you want to live, you won’t do that…’
Kang Seung-hyun nodded and accepted the crude business card.
-“The address written on the business card is…”
“Here it is.”
The two headed to an alleyway in Hind Village.
I followed the address written on my business card and found a tent spread there.
[Away]
[Absent]
“Isn’t there something?”
A sign like this was hung on the tent.
“Did you leave for work?”
“Let’s leave the note for now and go back to the dorm.”
Kang Seung-hyun left a simple note in his notebook, pasted it on a sign, and returned to his dorm.
“Oh, Mr. Kang!”
“How have you been?”
“How much is this!”
Upon returning to the inn, Julia, the waitress, was very happy and hugged Kang Seung-hyun.
“I am glad you came back safely. Are you very tired?”
“I missed Julia’s meal.”
You might think you’re making a lot of fuss because you haven’t seen them for just two weeks, but adventurers die or go missing for one reason or another, so it’s normal to worry even if you don’t see them for a few days.
“The room the two of you are staying in has been cleaned every single day, so you can use it today!”
“It’s worth paying for a month’s worth of room in advance.”
“Then let’s start with a light meal.”
After ordering food, the two sat at a table.
“Come to think of it, Ziggs must have got a room here too?”
“The carriage must have been parked at the stable, and since we said we were staying here, there is a high probability that we will stay here.”
“huh? Isn’t that Ziggs?”
At that time, Kim Ho-jung pointed to the corner of the table.
Looking there, I could see that Ziggs was sitting with a man. Ziggs looked very tired.
“You made a friend in that time. Awesome?”
“Where are those eyes looking at friends?”
Seunghyun Kang approached Ziggs.
Ziggs, who was sitting with a tired face, noticed Kang Seung-hyun and nodded.
“Ah, are you here?”
“Who is that Mr. Ziggs?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why are you eating with someone you don’t know?”
“Eating alone seemed sad, so he said he would eat with me and sat down on his own.”
Combining stones is a common occurrence in Azul Continent.
It’s rare to sit down blindly like this.
“I guess it’s because he doesn’t want to eat alone.”
“I think so. I kept talking about it until now.”
There was a reason Ziggs was exhausted.
Even if he doesn’t, he’s a guy who doesn’t talk much, but the guy I saw for the first time today talked to him non-stop.
“Then I drank and fell asleep.”
In fact, the man with the messy hair sitting across from me was sleeping face down.
It’s like a person who drinks alcohol in broad daylight.
“So I’m wondering if I should watch it until it wakes up… but what should I do?”
“Just throw it away.”
“Isn’t that a bit like that?”
“Or call your friends.”
Somewhere in town there must be a colleague of this man. Unless you’re a dimension shifter, there’s usually no solo play.
“That may be the only way.”
“I’ll go and contact the Adventurer’s Guild. What is this man’s name?”
“Um, he said Alec.”
“Alec?”
“Some say that his real name doesn’t fit the atmosphere of this town or something… so he named it himself.”
Seunghyun Kang glanced at the business card in his hand.
The business card clearly said [Mr. Alec], but I thought it was someone with the same name and tried to ignore it.
“He said he was a successful detective, so he gave me this.”
Ziggs held out the same business card.
A scribbled business card scrawled on paper.
‘Was this child?’
In other words, the guy named ‘Alec’ he was looking for was this drunkard sleeping on his stomach.
“Could you wake up Mr. Ziggs?”
“yes?”
“I have a question for you.”
“I see. Alec, wake up.”
“Umm… Is it time to calculate already?”
Ziggs shakes Alec awake, and Alec yawns loudly and pulls himself up.
“I’m here for work, not for that.”
“Hmm? What do you want me to do…?”
Anyone can see that he is a person who is less drunk.
He got up and drank cold water.
“You say you’re good at finding people? I came here after hearing rumors, so please find someone.”
“person? Hmmm…then pay for the drink.”
“great. I pay for the request with that.”
Kang Seung-hyun threw the money bag without hesitation.
Because he robbed a lot of jewels from the Wismel Temple, he never ran out of money.
“It’s nice to be cool, bro. So who are you looking for?”
“That’s…”
I want to request the whereabouts of the missing Magic Association investigator, but I still had to hide information related to the Magic Association construction.
‘It’s annoying when the Adventurers’ Guild or Church smells it and rushes at it.’
Right now, only Kang Seung-hyeon and the relic appraiser know about the Magic Association investigator.
That side has been thoroughly silenced, so if you want to live, you won’t spread it.
‘Now let’s investigate the criminals who attacked the wagon.’
Kang Seung-hyun, who organized his thoughts, opened his mouth.
“Can you spot people with only certain skills?”
“Ah~ Do I have to search the entire continent? Then paying for the drink isn’t enough.”
“Around Hind Village is enough.”
Judging from the fact that they raided wagons and kidnapped people, there is a high probability that their base is somewhere around here.
wouldn’t have gone far.
“Well, that much is easy.”
“I am looking for someone who knows how to make it rain. It doesn’t matter if it’s a skill or an item, so find someone with the relevant ability.”
“rain? Are you looking for something unusual?”
It’s not surprising to find someone with a specific skill, but it’s not common to find someone with a rain purifier.
“So you can’t find it?”
“I’ll do anything for money…”
Alec smirked and clenched his hand.
“I will find them all.”
A bright light emanated from his hand, and paper and a knife-ink pen appeared.
‘What is this?’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at him with a surprised face.
The ability to summon a specific object from somewhere with a bright light.
‘It’s a directing to take out things from the inventory?’
