Episode 98. Rumors (3)
“Uh… . Huh?”
Expressing your emotions with a twist!
Now is not the time to call the Nachal Temple crazy.
Even Kim Ki-ryeo himself is sad that he is second to none.
‘what?’
It doesn’t make sense that a criminal with the nerve to plan a S-class assassination would just run away, and the man even spoke sarcastically about Park Jun-tae’s death in a strange tone…
Suspicion grows in an instant.
“I really didn’t know… Are you sure you didn’t know?”
Esther asked again with a puzzled look on her face.
“Then, even though you knew that Mr. Kiryeo Park was a dangerous guy like Juntae Park, you didn’t tell me in advance?”
“At that time, I didn’t know the other person’s purpose in detail.”
“yes?”
“Esther, you didn’t know you were a target either.”
But all I got in return was a response saying they didn’t know English.
Even though he maintained an honest attitude after that, Esther’s misunderstanding deepened with each passing day.
“No, I don’t understand… … . Huh, then explain in detail why Park Jun-tae ran away.”
“Well, that’s difficult.”
“yes?”
“What happened back then… I didn’t do anything, but Park Jun-tae got scared for no reason and backed down.”
By the way, the noise pollution caused by a flock of dead birds was ‘nothing’ in the eyes of the Archmage.
I thought it was unnecessary to reveal all the details of such trivial magic, so I omitted some of the expressions.
The explanation was dismissed.
“But can we stop talking about dead people? It’s a waste of time.”
And this was a way of cutting off the small talk, taking into consideration the busy guild leader.
To Esther, it seemed like she was avoiding answering.
‘What the heck?’
In the end, Esther was unable to let go of her unease.
A strong suspicion remained that the hunter in front of him might have been involved in Park Jun-tae’s death.
“Oh, this is confusing people… … .”
“yes?”
“It’s nothing. I was just talking nonsense.”
But whatever.
If this question is true, then I like the hunter Kim Ki-ryeo more.
‘If that guy did something to Park Jun-tae, I’d welcome it.’
Esther promises with a soft smile.
“Anyway, I will fully reflect your request in my schedule.”
This S-class hunter will wait for the winter snake.
***
I’m glad I tried, even though I thought I’d lose.
In a way, this was a lowly hunter telling a S-class master what to do.
‘Is it because I’ve been trying so hard to flatter you?’
Now that I’ve received a promise to stand by S-class, should I start searching for Imoogi again?
But wait a minute.
Why did a guy who was looking for Imoogi suddenly stop by the association?
I quickly walked past the association and entered the building across from it.
Today was the day that the rare magic stone I obtained from the Flower Garden Baron was sold.
‘It took quite some time just to get an appraisal.’
Thanks to this transaction, my balance has changed digits again.
But I wasn’t particularly happy. The money I earned today was going straight to my living expenses.
‘For a weakling like me to endure the dungeon break, I need to at least get my gear up.’
How can a person always live positively?
I failed to find the missing snake, and I naturally assumed that a terrorist attack had occurred.
In other words, I wanted to buy items in advance to prepare for the worst.
“hmm.”
Inside the Hunter Market, which we arrived at soon after.
I entered the building and loitered around in front of the potion shop. Then, I soon heard a voice.
“older brother!”
Right. Here is my ticket… no, my precious alien neighbor.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No! Not at all!”
I waved lightly at Ahn Yoon-seung, who greeted me politely.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him.
This was the first time I had seen your face since the last mutation.
“Anyway, thanks for taking the time. I bet you’re busy these days too.”
“Hahaha, I am busy. Compared to you, hyung, a newbie like me has nothing to do! What!”

I feel a little sorry because I feel like I only call you when I need to… … .
Since I was planning to use the 5th floor of the Hunter Market today, I had no choice but to call this A-class hunter.
The 5th floor, which handles items found at gates of Class A or higher, is off-limits to those without VIP status.
However, if there is someone with a high hunter rank like Ahn Yoon-seung around you, you can enter with them as an acquaintance.
“Then shall we go up?”
“Oh, yeah.”
So we took the elevator and entered the 5th floor.
By the way, I was wondering why it was so expensive when the only difference was the number of floors.
‘Oh my.’
The 5th floor we arrived at was very different from the previous floors right from the entrance.
There was a large lobby with a sign that said “VIP Lounge,” and staff greeted each guest kindly from the entrance.
“welcome.”
We followed their instructions and were seated on a soft sofa in no time.
“Would you like some warm tea for your drink?”
“Do you accept money?”
“No, it’s a service.”
“Then please give it to me.”
But this kindness usually comes from capital.
As expected, the lowest price on the 5th floor catalog that I checked a little later was in the hundreds of millions.
Since rich people come here and spend hundreds of millions of won on a single purchase, the quality of service is naturally high.
‘Eww!’
200 million for a bottle of potion, 300 million for a hat.
Just thinking about all the money I worked so hard to accumulate melting away already brings tears to my eyes… … .
‘My money!’
There was no choice now.
What’s the point of new lungs if you die in an accident right now?
“The products in the catalog are representative products. If there is any equipment you want, please let us know.”
As the staff said, this booklet didn’t contain many different items.
As expected from a place that only gathers the best items found at gates of Grade A or higher, I was able to find something that caught my eye in just a few minutes.
[Hermes’ Shoes]
“Can I see this product in person?”
“Yes. Please wait a moment.”
Besides, the performance of the magic tools I found in the catalog wasn’t actually bad.
[Hermes’ Shoes]
[Rank: Unique]
[Description: Shoes imbued with the magical power of the wind attribute. When worn, movement speed increases significantly.]
Up until now, even when I encountered high-level monsters, I somehow managed to survive because their actions were slow… … .
Unfortunately, the boss, Imugi, was a monster known for its fast movements.
There was even talk that it was difficult to see the attack coming against a dark background.
‘Yes. I must listen to what my senior hunters say.’
Running fast.
For an F-class trying to survive, there is nothing more necessary than this.
I paid for [Hermes’ Shoes] on the spot.
Because of that, my bank account balance dropped to 100 million in an instant… … .
Well, you can grieve later.
“Thank you for using our service!”
When the employees see off their precious customers who have spent close to 300 million won with smiling faces.
Ahn Yoon-seung watched the situation closely and finally spoke first.
“You came here to buy shoes?”
It seems like this Earthling deliberately kept his mouth shut so as not to disturb the shopping.
“huh.”
Now that I think about it, this A-class person in front of me didn’t even know why he was brought here.
Well, before I could even explain anything, he jumped out first, saying that he wanted to help his brother no matter what.
“Hmm.”
I decided to give the omitted explanation right now.
“Yoon Seung-ah, I have something to say… … .”
But the response I got was more intense than expected.
“Huh? T, terror?”
Nacha Temple.
A growing snake.
And Ahn Yoon-seung, who heard about Su Ye-hui’s twisted thoughts one by one, jumped up and said.
“While I was worrying about earning a living, something big was happening behind the scenes! As expected, the scale of the work you care about is…!”
“hmm.”
“So where is that Imoogi now? If it’s a dungeon break like that, I’ll definitely join in to stop it!”
Where is the snake?
Yes, it would have been nice if we had only known that. But unfortunately, that is what we have now.
“I don’t know.”
“yes?”
I explained the current situation to Yunseung in more detail.
“I don’t know. I don’t even know where the boss is hiding or the date the terrorist attack will occur.”
“… .”
“So, I’m in a situation where I can’t go anywhere and vent my frustrations. Since I don’t know anything for the time being, it’s difficult to even approach the association.”
“ah….”
“It would be difficult if you push for help and end up wasting it.”
Upon hearing this, Ahn Yoon-seung lowered his head with a pale face.
But in Korean, you have to listen to the end.
“Don’t worry though.”
Bam.
I continued the conversation while waiting for the elevator to arrive.
“I’ll find out soon enough.”
Filling the hallway is someone’s confidence.
Upon hearing this, Yun Seung began to look at me with an expression full of respect.
“older brother…….”
Honestly, I, an alien, have no idea what was so touching about what you just said.
‘hmm.’
Well, it won’t matter much.
I didn’t say that lightly either.
‘Let’s see who wins.’
From now on, I plan to use all means at my disposal to deduce where the dungeon break will occur.
Besides, I already had a new way of tracking that damned closed gate in my head.
From now on, it’s just a matter of time.
For me, nothing is impossible.
Because I am a living witness to the 60,000-year history of magic and a magician who represents the times.
‘I’ll find that missing snake right away.’
Even at this moment, Yoon Seung was unable to close his mouth and was expressing his respect, but I ignored the Earthling’s gaze and thought seriously.
‘And as soon as the location of the Imoogi becomes clear, buy a train ticket and run away to the furthest part of the country… …!’
Yes, that’s right.
In fact, from the time I first learned of this incident, I was only acting for myself.
This means that the fate of this country, in which we have lived for only a few months, is not even in our sights.
The ground splits open!
The sky is falling!
I was only concerned with ensuring my own safety.
But, knowing that it’s dangerous, it’s fatal to just go off on your own, so shouldn’t I at least give you a warning?
“Oh right, but Seung-i, you… you said earlier that you would help if a terrorist attack occurred, right?”
I recommended it to that A-class hunter.
“But instead of doing that, why don’t you just run away when the boss appears? In my opinion, a grown Imoogi would be dangerous to you too.”
“Run away?”
“Okay. I’ll share the dungeon break location as soon as I find it, so go out somewhere for a bit.”
Then, Ahn Yoon-seung started shouting, asking how he could do that to his brother… … .
That was a story with a flawed premise.
“Don’t worry about this. I’ll run away too.”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“Then what did you think an F-class hunter would do in that situation?”
Ding.
The elevator arrived soon. I went inside and said something lightly.
“Yoon Seung-ah, it’s helpful to get rid of people who are originally ambiguous in advance.”
“… … .”
“So you too, don’t look at me strangely and take care of yourself first. Got it?”
Ahn Yoon-seung made a strange expression at those words, but it seemed like he understood what I meant because he quickly replied that he understood.
