How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 231
231. Church of Zumare 1
“Brother Hahaha makes jokes fun too! Could the Zumare Church, which boasts a history of thousands of years, disappear? We will survive 100 years later…”
Priest Louis, who looked like a fat rat, babbled something next to him, but Kang Seung-hyun didn’t pay attention and looked at the healing skill scroll.
‘There’s no problem on the outside, and there’s no problem so far when I look at it with the [Observation Eye].’
A prayer from the Church of Zumaire, carefully written on luxurious paper.
It feels extravagant rather than sacred.
“I don’t think it’s fake, so let’s go.”
After checking, Kang Seung-hyun put the scroll in his inventory pretending to hide it in his bosom.
In fact, if you just use it right away without looking at it like this, you can tell if it is genuine or not, but there was a reason why you couldn’t do that now.
“Heh heh heh. I’ll repeat it, but in the name of Zumare-nim…” ”
I knew they didn’t have a conscience because they were cunning by selling the name of God for a few pennies, but fortunately, it seems they don’t have common sense.”
Kang Seung-hyeon cut off Priest Lewis’s words and put on the hood.
“What…”
“Let’s not see each other again. There will be nothing to see.”
And without looking back, he ran out of the alley and disappeared.
“…How dare that blue-eyed young fellow!”
Priest Louis, who had been smiling all along, distorted his face and burst into anger only after Kang Seung-hyun had completely disappeared.
“You know who I am, and you’re twitching your snout!”
It’s a topic that I haven’t even heard of before.
“And what? Will our church disappear? I’m a bit scared, but where are you bluffing! You’re so arrogant that I’m at a loss for words!”
For about 5 minutes, Priest Lewis went on a rampage, huffing and puffing.
“We, the Church of Zumare, will soon destroy all pagan groups and become the only Church in the Azul continent. Foolish, foolish!”
Then he chuckled to himself, opened the money sack, and grabbed the coin inside, salivating.
“Why should I forgive you for giving such a large sum of money to Zumare-sama? Of course, Zumare-sama is a generous person, so he won’t blame me if I use it!”
– Jerk-jerk-jerk.
Kang Seung-hyun, who left the alley, returned to the market.
“uh? teacher! Have you finished your business?”
“When you say that, it seems like I’ve been urinating all the time.”
Then, Kim Ho-jeong, who was waiting nearby, approached. I was carrying a lot of things in my arms, so when I looked, it was roasted sweet potato and black pudding.
“I bought this because it looked like sundae, but they said it was pudding.”
“I thought you would say that.”
“Oh so how did it go? Heal….”
“You should turn off communication like that.”
“{Oops.}”
Kim Ho-jeong urgently turned off [God’s Communication].
Kang Seung-hyeon also turned off [God’s Communication] and opened his mouth.
“{First of all… I got the scroll.}”
“{Oh! congratulations! So, can he heal now?}”
“{I still put it in his inventory.}”
While others don’t know, the {Healing Skill Scroll} containing the power of the Church of Zmayre is dormant in his inventory right now.
“{uh? haven’t you written yet? Why?}”
“{I want to write it right now as well.}” “
{Then why don’t I use it now?}”
“{That’s it…}”
Seuk.
Kang Seung-hyun looked around lightly.
The place where he is now standing is the market hall in front of the Great Temple of Zumare, the home of the Zumare Church.
“{If you use a scroll in a place like this, the high priest of Zmaile will find out right away.}”
A priest with deep faith can detect a small amount of holy power that comes out when using a healing skill scroll.
If you tear the scroll now, the priests of the Church of Zumaire will mobilize immediately.
“{That’s right…. If it were me, I would have ripped it open as soon as I bought it. I never thought there would be a security device.}”
“{Then, a black beast will descend in the middle of the church’s stronghold.}” “{
Don’t say anything scary.}”
The #1 reason why thieves who actually stole scrolls are caught by the priests is ‘the church’s It was caught while using a scroll within the sphere of influence’.
“{There will also be priests disguised as lay people hiding nearby, so you should go as far away from here as possible.}” If you don’t
want to chase the Church of Zumaire, you should at least go out to the outskirts of Radia before using it.
“{I was thinking of staying at an inn for a while.}”
“{Let’s camp outside the city again today. I want to try it as soon as possible.}”
Kang Seung-hyun didn’t want to waste a single second.
I waited for 9 months, about a year, until this day of acquiring the healing skill came.
‘It’s not such a great skill, it’s only {Beginner Healing Scroll}.’
[Beginner Healing]
The basic of the basic healing skills.
Others are basic skills you acquire when you draw at roulette or get an initial job.
[Beginner Healing]
[Recovers some physical strength and heals minor wounds.]
[Healing efficiency isn’t that great, but it’s a useful healing skill in the beginning]
However, Kang Seung-hyun couldn’t get it even after thousands of points, and other healers received it for free. He had to buy the skill with an amount close to 200 million won.
‘But where is it?’
The important thing is that you have acquired the healing skill.
Even if it is an initial skill, there is no problem in acquiring points, and even if you know how to use only one healing skill, you can be recognized as an official healer and receive a healer badge.
‘With this, I can get rid of bounty hunters who don’t get points.’
[Beginner Healing] itself is not a great skill, but it can be used much more efficiently if you use it in combination with medical knowledge.
‘Let’s prepare a tool for treatment soon.’
Kang Seung-hyun moved forward, imagining collecting points with heels.
“{Today, I will learn skills while camping, and tomorrow I will go to the Adventurer Guild in a nearby village as soon as I wake up.}” “{
To get a healer badge?}” “
{That’s right. If you become a full-time healer, you can legally receive healer requests, join the Healer Foundation, and benefit from this and that…}” The
two walked down the street talking about various things.
“There are a lot of people here. Are they all tourists?”
“There are tourists who came to play lightly, and I see people who came to pilgrimage to the Holy Land.”
“Ong….”
Ladaya itself is an ordinary area in the southeastern corner of the Azul Continent where there is nothing special, or because it is a sacred place of the ‘Cult of Zumaire’, thousands of Zumaire believers come and spend money every day.
“In effect, the Church of Zumare is feeding this city.”
“As expected, the 10 largest denominations on the Azul continent are different.”
“Anyway, they’re all the same guys.”
Whether it’s a good church or a bad church.
In the end, it doesn’t change that he squeezes and exploits his subordinates.
“After reading the booklet, there are many mines around Ladaia.”
“mine?”
“Of course, it is a dangerous area where monsters appear.”
The mines around Radaia are all owned by the Zmayre Church.
Originally, they would have to send adventurers to clean it up periodically, but the Zumare Church sent a low-level paladin and a priest to deal with it under the pretext of training.
“what? Aren’t you an adventurer?”
“It must have been a waste to give the Adventurers Guild a fee.”
In addition, instead of hiring formal miners for mining work, laymen were put in to work, which greatly reduced employment costs.
“The whole city is a black business.”
“Still, the followers said it was good to be able to serve Zumare-nim.”
“Are you still okay?”
“Because God bless you.”
If you work for the church, you can get a divine skill or healing skill with a very rare chance, so many commoners visit the Zumare Church today, dreaming of reversing their lives.
“Well, the skills of the Azul Continent are basically obtained through hard work.”
“We spin roulette to pick skills, but Azul Continental people pick skills through the game of life.”
Kang Seung-hyeon took out a church-related report from his inventory and said.
“Anyway, for one reason or another, all mines owned by the Church of Zumare are only operated by members of the Church.”
“It’s a domestic craft.”
“The church claims to be an ordinary mine with nothing special, but outsiders are never allowed inside… Some items are often transported with their contents hidden.”
In fact, if you look around, you can see some members of the Church of Zumare carrying an unknown box.
“Have you dug up something good?”
“But there is no record of the Church of Zumare trading rare minerals.”
“Oh~ Suspicious.”
In fact, all the churches of the Azul Continent are hiding their own secrets that are not known to outsiders.
Perhaps one of the secrets of the Church of Zumare is related to that box.
“It must be trafficking or smuggled goods.”
“It’s not strange to do anything to a board that sells scrolls for money.”
“Then let’s go camping soon.”
“Phew, you’re homeless today too.”
I have nothing to do with Radaia anymore. As Kang Seung-
hyeon
and his party were about to leave the city,
they ran into people in robes who were just entering the city.
‘huh?’
At first glance, it was an ordinary robe with nothing unusual, but somehow I felt a sense of incongruity.
‘That’s… the silver horse’s robe.’
[Silver Horse Robe]
[A robe made of ‘silver cloth’ that has the power to suppress and hide magical power.] [ It prevents
the wearer’s magical power from leaking out.]
I must have.’
But this is the home of the Zumaire Church.
No matter how much he hid his dark magic by covering himself with the cloth of a silver horse, there was no way that the high-ranking priests would not know about it.
“As promised…sooner than later…”
“Soon to be ready…”
“That’s…so…forward…”
Then the priests of Zumare came and started talking with him.
I couldn’t hear it properly because of the distance, but it didn’t feel hostile.
‘I’ll take care of it.’
It has nothing to do with you.
Kang Seung-hyun ignored them and went out of Radia.
– Jerk-jerk-jerk.
after about 2 hours.
The two arrived at Minlin Rock, a long way from Ladaya.
“Oh, what kind of rocks are there? I’m going to die hard.”
“If we came all the way here, there would be no problem.”
After confirming that no one else was around, Kang Seung-hyeon took out the {Beginner Healing Scroll} that was stored in his inventory.
“Then I will write it.”
“Finally, Mr. Kang has a healing skill!”
Seunghyun Kang tore up the scroll with a face full of anticipation.
Aww!
The scroll was gently torn apart, and the divine power contained within spread out with light.
Dig!
However, the light from the scroll disappeared the moment it touched Kang’s body.
It’s like touching something you shouldn’t be touching.
“uh?”
Originally, the light would wrap the scroll user’s body and teach them new skills, but instead of acquiring the skills, the light itself disappeared.
“No way…”
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the torn scroll and, just in case, tore it in half again, half-half-half.
Jjik jjik po!
But just in case, it’s the same way.
No matter how many times I tore it, no light appeared, and only shredded scroll paper piled up under my feet.
“These motherfuckers…”
Somehow things worked out, he said.
Kang Seung-hyeon muttered as he gripped the scroll fragment tightly.
“Are you sure you sold a fake?”
