With the appearance of another healer, the world began to turn upside down again.
The president of the American Association was already in Seong-hyeon’s grasp, so he didn’t show a more active movement than I expected, but that’s a national level story.
The most powerful hunters were the United States, and those hunters were very pleased with the appearance of another healer.
Padron, a representative of the hunters who looked down on Seong-hyeon, was like that at the beginning, but now he doesn’t have any particular hostility toward Seong-hyun.
But that’s the emotional realm.
The appearance of other healing powers was something that could bring great power in this hunter world, so he couldn’t stand still.
It wasn’t just the US.
In the United States, the president of the association only did not take an active role, but other places began to show movement at the national level as well.
The hunters belonging to the associations of each country started to come forward.
The place they visited was, again, the remote village that provided information to the media for the first time and has been providing information ever since.
“Is it here? Where the pilgrims first appeared.”
“That’s right.”
It was such a backward place that I wondered if anyone could actually live there.
All I could see around me was sand, and the things that looked like a house were crudely made out of cloth and soil.
“Are we the first?”
“Yes, I will.”
“After… let’s go.”
A few days after being first known to the media.
It is true that there was an active movement in all countries, but there was no actual movement of it.
The moment I saw that movement, it was like announcing that I was going to walk a different path than Seonghyun.
“It should be aimed at subjugation or conciliation, and at least not as an enemy.”
From the moment he set foot on this land as a member of the Russian Association, he distanced himself from Seonghyeon.
never failed
The Russian hunters entered the village where the pilgrims appeared.
“Hey, I don’t even come to meet you… Do you have any beliefs?”
I was thinking of killing you if I did.
It is true that they have a lot of information about the pilgrims, but they are all foreigners who have arrived here.
If you can’t get what you want, you can’t give others what they want.
“It’s over there.”
The only place in this town that can be called a building.
There, at the same time managing this village, people with information about the pilgrims were waiting.
The Russian hunters headed towards the building, leaving behind the villagers who looked at them with frightened eyes.
When we arrived at the entrance of the building, a man who appeared to be the village manager appeared.
“hello.”
“…Nice to meet you. It’s called Kabulsky.”
“It’s Toulouse.”
The look in Toulouse’s eyes showed that he had already gained the upper hand in this conversation.
Kabulsky was quite offended by that expression, but he smiled as he wasn’t an idiot to end the conversation before it even started.
“I believe you know why we are here.”
“of course. Come in.”
The inside of the building was very ordinary.
Here, the most luxurious places fall far short of the average.
“yes? Why is that door locked?”
However, a small building and a few non-existent rooms.
One of the doors was locked very tightly.
“…is the purpose of your visit today to open that door?”
At Toulouse’s words, Kabulsky laughed inwardly and answered.
“Of course not. I was just curious.”
‘There’s something inside that door.’
Kabulsky stared at the locked door for a moment before following after Toulouse before he noticed.
“Let’s get right to the point.”
“Good. Main subject.”
Toulouse naturally sat at the top of the table before Kabulsky, who was about to sit at the top.
“…”
“Aren’t you sitting down?”
Kabulski, who smiled as if he was having fun, sat down next to him and stared at Toulouse.
“Can we meet the pilgrims?”
“I don’t know that either.”
“Then have you met the pilgrims?”
“We met, and we are going to meet. Quite often.”
Kabulsky salivated in response to the regular meeting with the pilgrims.
‘Is the relationship deeper than I thought?’
“So what do you want?”
“pilgrim. Looking at it now, it seems that we are being treated appropriately by providing information to the media, but if we create a place for pilgrims, we will make it possible to have everything we want to do and have for the rest of our lives.”
“…”
At Kabulsky’s shocking suggestion, Toulouse unconsciously swallowed dry saliva.
The offer without the condition of getting along with the pilgrim was more attractive than anything else.
“Are you saying that we just need to set up a seat for you?”
“okay.”
Kabulsky was convinced of Toulouse’s reaction.
Interest is infinitely weak to sacrifice.
“Hey, how can I believe that?”
In response to Toulouse’s reaction, Kabulsky erased the soft smile he had been holding back at once and answered with a firm voice.
“I do not believe the words of the Great Russian Association…”
“I don’t mean it that way, but there are some words that the pilgrims asked to deliver anyway.”
“For us?”
“no. If I and the people around me suffer even a little bit from everyone who comes to me, I will go to Korea immediately.”
“…”
If Toulouse had said it, it was the worst of the worst.
‘The pilgrim guy… he’s not an ordinary guy.’
“it’s okay. Do I even want to destroy this village?”
After all, if only the pilgrims get their hands on it, that’s enough.
At that time, it was not too late to deal with it, and Russia was not weak enough to miss out on talents already in hand.
“Well, it will take a while. I have a meeting with a pilgrim, but I can’t meet him when I want to…”
“Ah, I fully understand. We can wait comfortably, so when you see a pilgrim, just tell us about it. and…”
Kabulsky looked at the hunter who was with him and beckoned.
Then a paper appeared from within Hunter’s arms.
“I was thinking of giving you some cash… but the things I use here are a little different, and it seems too bulky compared to the surrounding environment, so I thought about it and prepared it.”
“This…what…”
“A check issued by a Russian bank.”
The check showed a feast of zeros that had never been seen before.
“He is a thoughtful person, so the conversation ended sooner than expected. What I am giving you now is a gift from Russia regardless of the outcome, so please take it easy.”
“Go, thank you.”
“Then stop.”
Kabulsky looked down at Toulouse with his head bowed and snorted inaudible and went outside.
“Twitter, you have to be able to understand the subject to live a long life.”
Kabulski left the village with a pitiful tongue, as he knew exactly what Toulouse would say.
Toulouse stared at the check in her hand, distracted.
“Hey, with this amount of money…”

Money to live and play for the rest of your life.
I wondered if this money would be enough to satisfy me, but Toulouse couldn’t.
As if he had forgotten all the advice the pilgrim Seong-hyeon gave himself, greed was starting to arise.
“I couldn’t even give you a seat, but if it’s like this…”
Besides, they were the first to come.
There were far more people who would come, so it could have been the fewest when considering what they would get in the future.
“I have to do that.”
As if something flashed in his mind, Toulouse began to look around the room.
“okay. That would be nice.”
A picture frame that can be seen as the only luxury item in this room.
A frame with a flag hanging on it.
Toulouse took out the frame and took out the flag inside.
Then I put the check I just received into it.
“ha ha ha!! I am a genius.”
Then I hung it in the most visible position in the room.
As if to brag, as if anyone who enters this room wants to see that frame unconditionally.
“Kukk…kah hahaha!!!”
For a while, laughter filled with greed and desire resounded.
It took a few days for the first movement to appear in Russia, but as soon as the first movement appeared, they started appearing as if waiting for each other.
Countries in the top 10 rankings, such as the UK, China, and France, as well as other countries, such as Japan, which are outside the top 10, took action quickly.
He didn’t usually have hostile feelings toward Seong-hyeon, but he knew how great of power he had, so he had to keep it in check.
“…what is that?”
“That…what is it?”
“That’s Russian…”
Just today, hunters belonging to three countries, except Russia, came to visit.
Naturally, they immediately checked the lavishly hung Russian check, and began to scramble for a better deal than that.
“To just have money…”
“According to the incident three years ago, Russia is hard to trust…”
There was only one reason why they cling to Toulouse like this.
After the existence of another healer became known to the media, the investigation began immediately, but none of the pilgrims’ information was found.
I dispatched all the personnel to the surrounding villages, just in case, but the pilgrims did not appear as if they had evaporated.
“I need time to think.”
“I am going to meet the pilgrim in a few days, so please wait for a moment.”
At first, Toulouse was nervous about having to negotiate with a hunter belonging to the state, but after meeting with Russia, he realized that he was in an overwhelming position and put down the tension for a long time.
“Heh heh, where would you like to go?”
who will give you money
Some say they will give you power.
And some say they’ll give them both.
“No, you don’t have to choose yet.”
it’s only the first day
The time remaining in the future would be much more than Tulua thought, and much of that time would all be on Toulouse’s side.
“Oh. I have to start with this.”
The Russian check that was first framed has already come down.
Because I got better things than that.
Toulois, having replaced the newly received items in the frame, leaned back on the chair and put her feet on the table, full of anticipation of what she could receive in the future.
“The seller is very good.”
“Who are you?”
Surprised by the sudden voice, Toulouse fell back as she sat in her chair and looked at the source of the voice.
“Sue, pilgrim?”
“I met quite a few people. Who is it?”
“They are people who just came to meet you.”
“…okay?”
Obviously, his face was covered with a hood, and Toulouse was well aware that his fighting ability was almost non-existent, but his back was getting chills for nothing.
“What did you get?”
“Rice, it’s not a big deal… just a little bit of money or something like a job as a guild leader…”
The paper hanging on the wall said that he would fortunately give him a seat as the guild leader, and Toulouse turned his gaze away as he pushed the Russian check he was holding in his hand under his hip.
“Do it yourself. Do you have anything to say?”
“Ah, I don’t really need all of the people who came today, and they only ask me to meet them once… How, how difficult is it?”
“It’s not difficult to meet you.”
“I, really? Then when…”
“Aren’t those people back yet?”
“Yes, you must be living in a nearby big city.”
“Tell me that you will find me.”
“i get it.”
“And what you got. Get drunk in moderation.”
“Yes?”
The pilgrim left only those words and left.
It seemed that it would have been impossible to kidnap him as if he had disappeared as if he had evaporated.
“Are you going to… give up on this?”
Toulouse pulled out the Russian check he had shoved under his ass.
“…”
After staring at the check for a moment, Toulouse looked around and shoved it into the depths of the drawer.
