I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 63

63. Clearance (2)

I quickly stopped them and looked back at Lien. Although I didn’t say anything, she must have realized what I was trying to say.

just as expected.

‘I told you to bring in the ones that were okay…’

‘Those are the ones that were at least okay.’

The woman who was beating up the members immediately responded with her eyes. I immediately read the explicit look in his eyes and had a moment of doubt.

That’s the only thing that’s okay? really? Even so, wouldn’t there be one or two people who can imitate a somewhat normal person?

As Lien said, I searched my mind for a moment to see if there was anyone better than those guys.

‘…there is none.’

After seeing Cletor looking at the medicine lying on the floor as if it was a waste, he shook his head.

‘There really isn’t any.’

Aside from feeling miserable about my situation, I can’t just waste my time here.

When the commotion seemed to have died down to some extent, I glanced at Ran, who had been looking pitifully at the guys who had been deprived of their medicine and had become sullen.

She sensed my unspoken question as to whether I had still changed my mind and gave a small nod. damn.

“…You don’t have to kill them all, but you have to exclude those who are simply possessed. So medicine is not an option.”

“You’re too soft, but…”

“I understand why you brought us here. We would be perfect for distinguishing between the poor and the poor. However, it would be a confusing situation, so why bother distinguishing whether they are poor or not?”

I know it too. But it can’t be helped. If the shaman doesn’t cooperate, it’s the end of the plan and all.

“We are going to set a fire inside the building. Most of the people who come out at this time will be ordinary people who are possessed by religion. The four of you will wait outside and select and kill the suspicious people hiding among them—” There is no need to capture them alive

. does not exist. Even if he wasn’t an ordinary person, he would be a small child to run away like that. Even if you miss a few people, it probably won’t be a big problem.

Those in higher positions will probably have something to hide or take care of, so they will go deeper. I acquire the ‘things that need to be hidden or taken care of’.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it. Because I already know where something like that could be.

“—The remaining six are going to mess around inside. Likewise, just kill the suspicious guys. You can go in when you see smoke. Oh, and if there’s one moving in a different direction as if it’s going somewhere, have some of you chase it.”

“Who starts the fire?”

“I.”

I deliberately brought ingredients that smoke well and last a long time. All you have to do is light it and throw it in a place with few people.

Of course, the shaman has to go with me, and Lien will follow even if I don’t like it, so in the end, there are no people left. Well, it’s neat.

“But…”

“Huh?”

“There seems to be something strange about your plan.”

Cleter tilted his head.

“It’s not that I don’t know what I have to do… It’s just that…”

“Are you going to complain about my lord’s orders now?”

“No, I have to do it when I’m told. But… “

He looked down at my knight’s uniform and looked at me with a confused expression.

Ah, I know what you want to say.

“I think you are confused about the fact that we are sending the poor to live, but the purpose of this matter is not to handle it quietly. So, you can tell the world that the murderous knights have messed up.”

No, I have to tell you. Only then will my merits be recognized.

Of course, if I just go out like this, the emperor, who is known to patronize me, will be criticized even more, but that’s none of my business.

I am not a person who cares about the emperor being criticized, and even if he wants to reprimand me, I am just following his orders, so there will be no major problem.

“Then find a suitable place and wait.”

“yes.”

Leaving them behind, I walked around the back of the building and touched each of the windows. I tried to go in through that open window last time… but it was all locked?

‘Well, it’s even more suspicious if the security is still there even though you made such a fuss…’

We’re in big trouble! I don’t know of any other entrances other than the front door!

I glanced back at Lien and the shaman. The two of them shake their heads as if there is no other way.

An embarrassing wind passed between us for a moment, and Ran slowly opened his mouth as if a good idea occurred to him.

“How about checking to see if any of the knights you brought know how to open a window?”

“Hmm?”

“I heard that all the knights brought here were poor. I haven’t been out into the world a few times, so I can’t say for sure, but most of the poor people I’ve met so far are learning various and interesting skills.”

aha. I know what you want to say.

Now that I think about it, there were quite a few members who had quite interesting dexterity. For example, pickpocketing or how to open a door…

I told Lien to go check without further delay and bring him in if there were any such members. But she, who would normally have listened straight away, shows hesitation this time.

“I can’t leave my master alone again…”

“You are not alone. There is also a shaman like this. I will wait quietly, so don’t worry and go.”

“….”

“…?”

what? I guess it’s not just that?

I looked at Lien’s back with some confusion as he walked away, showing signs of reluctance.

Not long after, she returned with a member of the group, and

only then did I understand why she was upset.

‘Lien was a knight.’

This situation of having to open a window like a thief must have been inconvenient.

The lord, who should always be prioritized, is not in danger, and I think I could have found another way if I investigated a little more, but I chose to open the window.

I knew I didn’t have time, so I kept my mouth shut. If I had a little more time, I would have been careful and said, let’s find another way.

It’s not something I say that will make it happen. Pretending not to notice Lien’s appearance, I looked away and looked back at the member who skillfully opened the door and was very proud.

“I never thought this would be used here like this…! I’m so moved…”

“Okay, good job. Go back now.”

“Wow, you’re so heartless. You could have praised me a little more…”

His mouth is grumbling, but his actions follow orders faithfully. I inadvertently let out a laugh as I saw the guy grunting and turning away.

I feel this every time, but those guys are just crazy talkers, but they are really good at understanding the situation. I wonder if he has any sense.

Actually, if I wasn’t smart, I wouldn’t have survived that battlefield, but it’s still amazing.

Maybe that’s why, with a slightly softened heart, I spoke to the back of his head.

“Go quickly.”

“Yeah…”

As soon as the member walked away, we held on to the open window and crossed over. Oh, of course, I checked everything to see if there was anyone inside.

As if it were natural, my two companions followed me through the window without saying a word. Ran was a little tired, but thanks to Lien lifting her up, there were no major problems.

Since it wasn’t the window I had passed through before, I stopped for a moment in front of an unfamiliar landscape and fell into a brief contemplation.

‘Where would be better…’

It is difficult if the fire is discovered too quickly and the smoke spreads too late.

Just as I was hesitating because I had no idea if I even knew the geography of this place, Lien took the initiative.

“If you tell me where you think is suitable, I will guide you.”

“Lord Lien? How…?”

“Last time, when I was looking for my lord, I visited most of the hallways and rooms. I have some idea of the geography.”

That’s so helpful. What a world…

I looked at her with subtle eyes and laid out the conditions I had in mind. She listened to me with a serious attitude, nodded and began to lead the way.

Thanks to Lien’s excellent sense of presence, she was able to navigate several crises without incident, and it may not be an empty statement to say that she had some understanding of the geography for a while, but she found a suitable location faster than expected.

“Here it is, what do you think?”

“It seems okay.”

“Then…”

“Yes.”

I set fire to the ingredients I brought with me. Wow, there’s already a lot of smoke…

Lien covered his nose and mouth with the handkerchief he held out and threw it on the floor.

My vision was already starting to get obscured, so it seemed like I had prepared an incredible amount of ingredients. I looked at the large amount of smoke spewing out with half anxiety and half pride, and then turned around.

From now on, it is a race against time. The leadership, who senses something suspicious, must steal important evidence before they run away.

“Let’s hurry.”

Thanks to Lien’s guidance, it wasn’t that difficult to find the prayer room.

The interior still had a mysterious atmosphere with the white walls and purple fabric, but this time, instead of looking around, I led the shaman in search of a problem that needed to be solved.

There won’t be anything more to see anyway.

There was no one by the way. It couldn’t possibly be here. Is it already inside? Or is this a trap?

‘…Honestly, I’m not sure there will be any evidence left.’

Because Lien caused that mess. The leadership, alerted by the previous incident, may have already stolen important clues or evidence elsewhere.

Nevertheless, the reason I came back here was

‘It doesn’t matter anyway.’

In any case, Salvation Church will be destroyed due to this incident. This is true if you exclude the possibility of a comeback or a second Salvation Church.

If the leadership stole key documents, Cruel would not be able to find them either, so considering the situation, I will ultimately be the winner of this game.

Neither Cruel nor I could find the key documents.

What about the collapse of Salvation Church? I did it.

So who will be the winner?

It’s just a thought in my head, but honestly, I feel like I want the leadership to steal the ledgers. If I find it, it will only be an element of bonus points, but if Cruel finds it, it will be an important hand that will turn the game around.

That’s why they came up with such a reckless and weak plan.

‘Anyway, you’ll find out when you go in.’

I went up to the stage and removed the hanging purple cloth. Ran’s eyes immediately fell on a certain point on the wall.

“It appears to be a spell using a jewel as the main medium. It seems to have a communication function that allows a signal to be transmitted immediately when it is destroyed, and also has a space distortion function…” “I see. All I have to do is pass through

this place. Is that possible? ”

“….”

“…?”

“…Just a moment… Could you please give me a little more time?”

“Is there something wrong?”

“Something… something…”

His words trail off.

The initially calm gaze became serious as if sensing something strange, and the quiet black eyes were trembling. And it soon turned into astonishment.

“…Why… Here….”

“Why is that?”

“Why is there a spell here?”

“…yes?”

“This is not witchcraft. It is magic disguised as witchcraft.”

My head was blank for a moment. This was something completely unexpected.

Magic. Of course I thought it was witchcraft… but suddenly it was called magic? In the human world?

This is a serious problem. I don’t think it will be long before I end up in the demon world again…

‘Ugh, my stomach…’

Just thinking about it made me feel stressed, so I tried not to think about it and looked back at the shaman and Lien.

As he was a shaman, the situation was serious . Ran, who felt this more clearly than anyone else, was explaining the device to Lien, who had a stern expression on his face and a question mark above his head. Although he was explaining, he seemed lost in thought.

“I was convinced after seeing the space distortion function. Do you know the difference between magic and witchcraft?”

“I only know that magic is breaking the rules of the world, and witchcraft is about paying a certain price and slightly twisting the rules to use it to your advantage… Is that right?”

“Yes, that’s right. If we take this space distortion as an example, it wouldn’t even be a distortion. This is a combination of a completely different space.”

“You mean grafting?”

“Yes, completely different spaces are connected through this gem. If you destroy this wall, there will probably be nothing behind.”

“That means that if you break the jewel…”

“It would mean that crossing into connected space is a long way off.”

Those words sting me for no reason. Good thing I didn’t break it.

Anyway, that’s not what I’m curious about right now. There are two things I’m curious about.

Who cast the spell?

Is it possible to move on to ‘that’ space through this?
