Episode 106. The End of the Village (Crystal)
106. end of town
A sparrow flaps its wings and flies over the clear sky. I felt the cool wind brush my cheeks and looked at the unfolding scenery.
Banners and pickets made with excitement. The main dishes in the center are also prepared enough to bend their upper legs.
Most of the dishes were made with potatoes that could be easily harvested in this dungeon. Stewed potatoes and stir-fried potatoes, potato wedges and potato salad, and finally, potato pancakes.
From a distance, it looks golden and shiny. It’s amazing how many dishes can be made with potatoes.
“It smells good, but it’s pure potatoes. It’s not that I don’t like it.”
“I know. The festival is about to start.”
He nodded in response to Lina’s brief review. Not only us, but the villagers were all looking at each other in a friendly manner.
“oh. hello. Teacher.”
“yes. hello. Wow. You are suffering from the beginning.”
The ladies who found me greeted me warmly. As they smiled while bowing their heads slightly, their gaze turned to Lina.
“Lina is so pretty too. What do you two have?! ummm. Then how about Dayoung?”
“Shh, sorry. Are the aunties too arrogant? It’s such a small town, so there’s nothing to enjoy but chatter, sorry?”
He apologizes, but somehow he seems to enjoy it. Still, he points to the food on the table and starts chatting.
“Lina, do you remember the exact location?”
“yes. Seojun-nim, of course.”
At first glance, Ah-reum Han also seemed to be doing her job well as planned. Me and Lina said hello and walked to the table.
The men of the village are chatting and eating food. Among them, the uncle who had looked after us in the past got up and greeted us.
“ah. Doctor, hello. Five. Two people?”
“hello! Is that delicious?”
“ah. this? It’s delicious. By the way, my wife made the sauce.”
Then, after making sure that no one is around, he whispers in my ear. Maybe it’s because of my brother-in-law.
“Actually, I’m a little tired.”
The appearance of the man who smiles wildly is somewhat like Mapel-doo. The men who were jealous of me talk among themselves without even looking at me.
The smell of blooming potatoes. Unconsciously, my eyes went to the foods that were tasty enough.
“uh?”
“Why?”
Lee Da-young is seen from afar. His impression hardened as if he had seen us, and he turned back his steps.
Somehow I’m sorry But she will also regret it if she regains her memory.
“Nothing.”
From a little distance away, there was a clear sound of laughter. There the children were eating hot potatoes with them.
I’m sweating profusely and running around. They laughed among themselves at what was so funny, and then ran back to another place.
“Do people here know the truth?”
“… You probably don’t know.”
Perhaps the one who will play the biggest role among us in this plan is Han Ah-reum.
“brother!”
“great job.”
“I really thought I was going to die. The atmosphere was brutal even while cooking.”
Han Ah-reum took a deep breath and looked at the table with annoyed eyes. I comforted her by rubbing her shoulders.
“okay. okay. I had a hard time cooking. But most importantly, you know?”
“Give me a cool massage. The best healer in the world is doing this, so it’s great.”
Han Ah-reum bursts into laughter. After kneading a few times, Lee Jang stepped out onto the stage where he had been prepared.
It was quite bright. Attire was also very thoughtful.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed an event like this. I’m so glad we’re together like this. After all, it’s fun to have a lot of people.”
Han Ah-reum, who saw it, muttered quietly. Because it was the right time at this most crowded and busy time.
“Teleport.”
⁕⁕⁕
Inside the wooden hut, someone was chained up and collapsed. It was filled with only pleasant dust and stinky air.
The door, which was tightly locked so that no one could easily enter, was never to be opened from the inside. Nevertheless, Ah-reum Han was able to move easily with her skills.
“… What is this?”
Han Ah-reum looked at the man who was lying down slowly. His humiliation was disastrous. He had been imprisoned for so long that he was quite dry and full of scars all over his body.
Almost torn clothes. Blood stains on the floor.

Noticing her presence, the man barely opened one eye. It was as if he was about to collapse at any moment as he barely exhaled.
“Uh, uh. buy, live.”
These were traces of blood drawn.
“The specialty of this village, that is the potion. After imprisoning people with healing powers like Seo-jun, they draw blood to make potions. If you put it on the ground, the crops will grow faster.”
Jang made a proposal to Lina, who had no healing ability. First, get close to him and, if necessary, add sleeping pills to his food.
“Lina, are you sure about that now?”
“It’s something I’ve heard and confirmed. I didn’t know at the time that they only knew the location and the situation.”
“If you put those words together, it is likely that a potion with good efficacy has been released recently.”
“The person inside the hut was also the village doctor before. That’s… .”
The next target might be Lee Seo-joon.
It was really shocking information. This terrible fact was being done under the orders of the village head.
There were even wounds that were presumed to have occurred yesterday. It was hard to believe at first.
But seeing this scene in reality, I can’t help but think that Rina’s words were true.
“Hey, what’s your face?”
I remembered the news I had seen before. The man who was now kidnapped in this hut was a Hunter. It was also the missing hunter in charge of the healer.
It was a different guild, but I couldn’t know. It was because it was a face he had seen in various media, including the Hunter community.
“Okay, are you okay?”
He approached quickly and untied the man’s rope. It was made with empty sappers, but potions were scattered on the floor.
“Hey, hey. Stop it, please.”
The man seemed to be tainted with considerable shock and fear. His trembling lips and trembling body were very pitiful.
Maybe Lee Seo-joon went through it too. Of course, I don’t think he with the ‘guardian angel’ skill would be easily defeated. Isn’t it too much?
What do people here view as a precious healer? If you go out and talk about this, everyone will be the flagship.
“Hunter Lee Ji-hoon, it’s okay now. I am a hunter too.”
A non-combat hunter. Anyway, he’s not a Hunter.
“I will go to a safe place right away. This dungeon will be cleared soon.”
Please let me feel relieved. to help him calm down.
“Take a slow, deep breath. you are fine
Did her sincerity come through? The man with tears in his eyes lowered his head and relaxed.
Han Ah-reum grabbed the man’s forearm with her hand. Once we got this guy to a safe place, we had to get things done.
“Teleport.”

“I will start the potato festival from now on. clap!”
Shouts and applause erupted at the chief’s words. Even the children who were watching from afar flocked to the bottom of the podium.
“You can dig potatoes or buy potatoes from the fields that have been made. Please enjoy this town’s first festival with potato dishes. After that, you will enjoy dancing with the partner of your choice.”
Actually, I can’t dance. Well, it doesn’t matter.
“Seojun, now slowly.”
Lina urged her with worried eyes. I glanced at the distant chieftain.
When our eyes met, he smiled. I felt like I knew something. The expression on his face was bitter and it looked sad.
Such acting skills Really. It’s creepy.
“Areum Han, haven’t you seen it yet?”
“… Yes. yet. You can’t make tea as much as possible.”
As I was contemplating whether I should look at this place a little more, Ah-reum Han suddenly appeared next to me and pulled out something. It was none other than french fries.
“Brother, eat this. Come on, Aang.”
“synthesis!”
Once given, I took it. Even if I went out to reality, I might remember the food here for a moment.
“no. Wait a minute. When did you come?”
“A little while ago. That hunter rescued me to a safe place.”
Han Ah-reum’s dignified shoulders rise. Before I could say anything, the music started playing, and people started dancing with their partners.
“Soon.”
“It is. When this is over, the chief will rise to the top of the podium.”
Lina nodded at my words. After a while, the manager holding the microphone opened his mouth.
“Large. Finally the festival is over. I will never forget today’s festival.”
Lee smiled softly. he adds
“Thank you everyone. Forever and ever… .”
dump.
That moment. People began to fall one after the other. Finally, the effect of the herb was to begin.
Lina finds herbs with sleeping pills and Ah-reum Han puts them in food. Originally, I had Lina to put it in my food.
bum bum.
“Did you have to do that?”
To kidnap people into dungeons and use healers like me. Treating a healer like me with a bag of blood to make potions, a specialty of the town.
There was also a lot of kinship. From what I hear, it looks like he rolled it right before he died.
I slowly approached the chief. Then he looked at us intently.
“Your victory. In fact, it may have been a decided outcome. The future is coming, and the past is irreversible.”
“… If you don’t know anything else, I’d like you to explain the potion. Why did you do that?”
“Yeah, for the revival of the town. At the very least, fertile land and crops at such a sacrifice. And there are jobs that make a lot of money.”
“Is it just that much sacrifice?”
“If you put the blood of a person with healing powers into water, you can make a potion with great efficacy.”
Read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not worth hearing any more. Because I can’t even kill or hit an old man who isn’t a monster.
I just raised my hand up to the sky. to end all this. To put an end to the nonsensical play.
“The light of purification.”
A huge blue light began to be written geometrically through the grass on the floor. Particles of light swirl and seep over the heads of everyone in the village.
“Can’t you stop right now?!”
Threads were clearly visible in the eyeballs of Yijang. He stared fiercely and tried to grab my wrist
Maybe people feel like a dream. like a brief shower. Memories of a midsummer day.
[SYSTEM: Everyone in town has their memories back. Congratulations. The dungeon has been cleared.]
“yes. late.”
A fragment of the world had fallen from the place where Lee Jang had been. If you know that your village is precious, you have to learn to respect others as well.
As soon as the fragments were picked up, bright lights erupted from all directions. I shut my eyes tight.
