Episode 331
“how is it? are you okay?”
“I think it’s okay? “How did you really make this?”
Nilia looked curiously at the leather water container up and down.
It was even more interesting because there were no special gems, special materials, or reagents to be seen.
“But it only lasts about two weeks.”
“Two weeks? It’s a shame… but not to the point where I can’t use it.”
“If you were to buy this for silver coins, how much would you pay?”
“???”
Nilia was taken aback by her friend’s sudden seriousness in conducting market research.
What are you doing this for?
* * *
The hunters selected fairly useful artifacts and expressed their gratitude.
“thanks. “I didn’t know you could get something like this.”
Vaishada was very satisfied after finding the ring of muscle strengthening.
Of course, if you wear this, you will be cursed with reduced movement, but it was a curse you could easily handle.
“It was not a gift from me, but from members of the Pricinga Church.”
“yes. But I wouldn’t have gotten it if it weren’t for you. By the way, priests. “I’m sorry for just accepting this…”
“no. “I would be happy if you thought of it as a mercy from Prisinga.”
The two hunters who were pondering asked as if they suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, I heard that a small dungeon was discovered in the forest outside the bridge gate. Isn’t the Pricinga Church interested?”
The bridge gate was said to be that a dungeon had been discovered in the forest located about half a day past the south gate of Grandeur City, that is, south of the city.
It was not a very large dungeon, nor was it a relic from ancient times, so it did not become a hot topic. Dungeons were found more often than expected.
It was something that would end slowly, with adventurers wandering around and searching the inside…
…It was a different story for priests in nearby cities.
Just as peddlers targeting adventurers immediately prepare supplies and rush to the vicinity when they hear that a dungeon has appeared, priests immediately become alert when they hear that a dungeon has appeared.
Even if it was a small dungeon, I didn’t know what kind of curse would come out inside. If a cursed person entered the city, an epidemic could break out.
So usually, when a dungeon was discovered, the religious order would send a priest nearby. It was to prepare for an emergency.
“I was already thinking of going and checking. “I asked the city council to provide escort…”
“If you don’t mind, we will escort you.”
And of course, not only priests went to places like this.
Whether you attach a church paladin or hire a trustworthy escort, you are prepared for emergencies.
It was a necessary preparation as there were many dangers, starting from monsters to adventurers who had become addicted to it.
Hunters from the Shadow Patrol and Wasteland Stargazers had enough strength to overflow.
“I’m sorry to even ask you such a request, but…”
“no. “If I just pass by after receiving a gift like this, the spirit of the mountain will laugh at me.”
“you’re right. Please help me.”
As the two hunters made their earnest request, Priest Mehrid realized that it would be rude to refuse any further.
“thank you. Then, let’s leave the rest to others and go back for a while.”
“I will help you too.”
“Thank you.”
Priest Mehrid expressed his gratitude for Priest Tijeeling’s resources.
Lee Han felt something sparkle at that sight.
‘This is an opportunity!’
“I will help you too.”
“yes? Lee Han of the Wardanaz family. Uh… you came with the professor, right?”
“it’s okay. “The professor will do the rest.”
While Professor Verdus went to eat, Lee Han planned to run away.
What if I told you that I went out for a while to help the work of the Pricinga Church?
“I’ll help too.”
widely-
Nilia said, placing her hand on Lee Han’s shoulder.
Not only the hunters, but even Lee Han was trying to help the church’s work in both material and spiritual ways, so he couldn’t stay still.
“But are there that many monsters around there?”
“hmm? “I don’t know either.”
“…???”
Nilia tilted her head.
“Weren’t you trying to come out and help the monster?”
“no. You’re trying to run away from the professor. “In addition to this, we also check the demand for artifacts from adventurers.”
“……”
hey!
* * *
The group quickly left the castle gate. Lee Han looked back. Fortunately, Professor Verdus was not seen chasing him.
‘It looks like you haven’t noticed yet.’
After passing through the castle gate and running along the road, it didn’t take long to reach our destination. From afar, tents and processions could be seen spread out in the forest.
Quick-moving peddlers first brought their wagons and set up tents. The adventurers sat around and shared information.
“So a mud lizard came out inside?”
“That’s right. “It would be better to go with a blunt weapon.”

“I don’t want to change weapons just because of a mud lizard. “Is there no way?”
“wait. I have a book. “Mud lizard, mud lizard…”
“Aside from monsters, did you find anything useful inside? How much would you get if you caught a monster and sold it? “It’s really useful.”
“Arthur. It’s a naturally occurring dungeon. “People like us can’t recognize useful things even when we see them.”
“why. Just dig up everything you can find. “If you take out everything inside, whether it’s minerals or plants, wouldn’t there be at least one of them that can make money?”
“Have you never been in a dungeon? That could very well be the case. You know what’s going to come out of that dark place and you do the damn thing. And how are you going to check it when you bring it out? “The wizard will place you in the palm of his hand and play with you.”
“f*ck… you have a knack for making me feel bad before I even start.”
Lee Han listened to the conversation with interest. Nilia wasn’t really interested in that kind of conversation. Because she had heard enough during her time as a patrolman.
“Did you hear? “Nilia?”
“uh? what? what?”
“Don’t you feel the need in that conversation? “It smells like business?”
“I don’t know… something like that…”
Nilia couldn’t understand her friend’s suspicious obsession with business.
Do I really need to start a business?
I think Lee Han will be able to make a good living even if he doesn’t start a business…
“uh?”
“You are priests, right?”
The adventurers were delighted when the priests of the Pricinga Church arrived.
Merchants charged a high price of silver for even a simple gold spear medicine, but priests were different.
The only people here who truly cared and thought about the adventurers were the priests.
“thank you. Priests. Thank you for coming!”
“Oh, get out of the way. “Priests, you need to sit down.”
“No, we came first…”
The adventurers tried to push out the peddlers and get a good spot. The adventurers scolded the grumbling peddlers.
“Don’t you even believe in a god? “If you get hurt, don’t you go to the temple?”
‘Dirty and disgusting bastards.’
As the peddlers moved from place to place, they promised to sell more expensive food to adventurers.
“Priests. “I’ll help you set up the tent.”
“ah. it’s okay.”
Lee Han stopped the adventurers from coming and raised his staff.
“Dig it out.”
A hole was created into which the tent poles would be embedded, and the surrounding soil was neatly trimmed.
As soon as the tent work was finished, Lee Han lit the fire, brought water into the pot, and sat down comfortably.
The adventurers looked in awe at the magic that completed in a matter of minutes what it would take others hours to do.
“That’s magic…!”
“Was something like that possible?”
“Then it’s magic, so of course it’s possible.”
“Isn’t it strange? I was once at a party where there was a wizard. I was so thirsty that I asked the wizard to bring me some water, but the wizard absolutely refused. He says we need to conserve our magic power.”
“That guy lied.”
“You bastard…! Was it something like that!”
While the adventurers were misunderstanding, Lee Han looked around at the nearby merchants.
‘Potions, tools, sundries. Hmm. ‘There’s quite a bit of competition.’
Competition was fierce as it involved buying quality products at a low price and selling them at a high price.
But there is always a niche market.
‘There are no artifacts.’
It was natural.
What kind of crazy peddler would bring such an expensive artifact and sell it here? I was lucky if I didn’t get robbed on the way there.
‘If you create an artifact…’
As Ihan was pondering with a serious expression, the Tigiling priest asked Nilia as if he were puzzled.
“Are you worried that a curse might come out now?”
“Well… well…”
Nilia could not bear to tell the truth to the Tigiling priest.
* * *
“Priest!! My legs!! Is it a curse!?!”
“no. “It’s muscle pain.”
“aha.”
As expected, nothing major happened.
Adventurers who often went in came out with tired faces or something broken.
Sometimes, among the adventurers, there were people dragging huge monsters out with a grunt.
dump!
“You have grit. “That friend.”
“But even the dismantling is important.”
“that’s right. “It’s not a good idea to bring it out.”
Even if you hunt monsters, selling them at a high price also requires skill.
It would have been easier if at least a magic stone came out from inside, but peeling off the skin and getting the meat was a fairly difficult skill.
Of course, for the hunters here who were former Shadow Patrol and Wasteland Stargazers, this was something they were so familiar with that they could do it with their eyes closed.
“Well… tsk tsk.”
“I was disappointed with the cutting. just now.”
“That’s right.”
The two hunters gave advice as they watched the adventurer’s skill in dismantling it with a hatchet and knives.
Lee Han also nodded and said.
“Over there, you would have to draw to the side first and then pull to get it off easily.”
“no…?!”
Vaishada was surprised.
As was the case last time, the boy from the Wardanaz family was skilled in hunting and butchery, as if he had learned it directly from the Shadow Patrol.
It was truly amazing.
“……”
Nilia stared at Lee Han. Lee Han slightly lowered his head.
“Thank you for teaching me.”
“No… it’s okay…”
Nilia had a feeling that even if she said to those two hunters, ‘Actually, I taught you,’ it would only make things more troublesome.
I was already misunderstood enough.
‘What on earth is cultism? It’s not the magic of an evil church.’
Rumbling!
The ground shook with the sound of underground tremors.
Everyone present was taken aback by the sudden change.
“What on earth is this…?”
“Priest. Come this way!”
The hunters immediately protected the priests. I don’t know what happened, but it was clear that something was triggered in the dungeon.
‘what?’
dump!
Fortunately, I was soon able to find out what happened inside the dungeon.
The adventurer who ran out in a complete mess started talking gibberish.
“S-people were teleported…! “People from other places are with monsters…!”
“what? What are you talking about??”
“Get out of the way!”
Another person who had the ability to explain properly came forward.
“I am Berhirg, a knight of the Kerel family! While the subjugation team and I were in the process of subjugating the Red Lotus Forest, we were teleported and flew this way! There are many people seriously injured, so I will ask for support! “I will reward those who helped me in the name of my family and the families that participated in the punitive force… Ugh.”
The knight must have been seriously injured and fell to his knees and chuckled.
But that was enough for people to realize what was happening.
“It appears that a space movement spell was cast during the subjugation, and he flew into the dungeon along with the monsters. “Let’s call the city and ask them to send healers quickly.”
Peddlers prepared to lay down the wounded and priests contacted the city for further assistance.
Lee Han approached Berhirg and healed his large cuts with magic and gave him a potion.
If you try to cure everything with a potion, there won’t be anything left, either your body or the potion.
“…???”
Priest Mehrid was surprised to see Lee Han casting healing magic so naturally.
What are you doing now???
