“Well, I’m not much left anyway, so I’m glad that all the members of the tribe survived…”
“Grandpa!”
Suddenly, the woman screamed and glared at the chieftain.
“········I told you not to talk like that. What’s left?”
“Young-seok, don’t shout with pain in your ears.”
The chieftain simply drank the tea with his tongue out.
An awkward silence fell for a moment.
I felt the warmth in my hands as I fiddled with the teacup, then opened my mouth again.
“The wounds appear to be very serious.”
“Honestly, yes. No matter how old you are, there is no sign of getting better.”
“I don’t know how much it will help, but I have one remedy.”
At that, the woman looked at me in amazement.
“Chi, a cure?”
The chieftain also opened his eyes and asked me.
“If it’s a cure… are you talking about a healing potion?”
“exactly.”
do you know
Because they live in the wild, I thought they would not know about potions, but it was a surprise.
I immediately took out Scarlett, which I always carry in my arms.
I’ve used it quite a bit so far, so I’ve got less than half left, but it’s a good enough amount.
He said while looking at the woman whose eyes were completely fixed on the potion.
“This is the best potion among the potions floating around in the world.”
“············”.
“If you tell me where the place I’m looking for is, I’ll give it to you.”
I seek a place of mystery, and the chief heals wounds.
It was a suggestion that there was nothing bad about each other.
“How can you believe in what humans give…”
After muttering like that, she shut her mouth again, glanced at the chieftain, and changed her words quickly.
“Oh, no. I’ll believe it, so give it to me.”
“Can you tell me where the place is?”
“Yeah! I’ll tell you, so hurry up!”
It was a desperate cry.
It was a more intense reaction than I had expected, so I continued to speak, even though I was a little perplexed.
“Then make a promise.”
“What else?!”
“I don’t know how effective this potion will be for the chieftain’s wounds. So even if the effect is minimal or not, you must guide me to that place.”
Scarlet is definitely a great potion.
But he wasn’t completely sure if the chieftain’s wounds could be healed.
Because, first of all, it is not a normal race, but a Haerin tribe, and if it was a wound from an Archmage, something could have been different.
To be honest, I was reluctant to put conditions on the treatment of an injured person, but I couldn’t help it.
The woman also looked at me without saying a word, with a look that contained such a sign, and answered.
“Give it because you understand. I will guide you to places like that 100 more times.”
Originally, I was going to hand over the potion after being guided from the location, but that’s not the case.
The order doesn’t really matter, but it’s possible that she didn’t keep her promise.
‘Well, I hope it is.’
I meekly handed her Scarlett.
After accepting it, she stood still and looked at the chieftain.
he gestured
“Give it to me.”
The chief opened the potion bottle and glanced at the contents.
Then he looked surprised and nodded.
“Seeing that the scent of magical power is so strong, it’s definitely not an ordinary thing. Can I really accept this?”
“I get something, so I don’t just give it.”
“Well, I guess the place you’re looking for is quite important to you. Anyway, I’ll put it to good use.”
The woman snatched the potion from him again.
“Show me your back, Grandpa. Treat me right now.”
“Do you know how to use it?”
“·······Well, can’t it just be poured into the wound?”
She turned to me and looked at me.
“Just give me what I’ll do.”
However, having used it a few times, I know how to use it better.
After laying the chieftain on his seat, he examined the wounds on his back.
The wound was torn at an oblique line, and there were black marks around it. The color was similar to that of a bruise, but the severity was incomparable to him.
crooked.
I poured the potion little by little from top to bottom along the wounded area.
Contrary to expectations, the effect appeared shortly after.
It was a little slow, but the wounds slowly healed and started to sprout.
“······ah!”
The woman who was watching the scene, restless next to her, let out a sigh.
When the wounds disappeared without a trace, the chief rose again. And he looked at me with bewildered eyes.
I asked him.
“How are you?”
“·······There are still some wounds left, but the trauma seems to have completely healed. This is a really great thing.”
I nodded and gave him all the potions I had left.
“Drink all that’s left. My wounds will recover to some extent.”
The chief drank all the remaining potions at once and set the empty bottle on the floor.
Then, with a much more lively face than before, he smiled and looked back at the woman.
“Baby, what are you crying about?”
As he said, the woman’s eyes were blushing as if she was about to cry.
“······ Are all better, Grandpa?”
“Yeah. Now we can head to the sea again. Without exception, everyone.”
“Uhhh!”
She rushed into the chief’s arms and hugged her, and burst out crying like a child.
The chief patted her on the head.
As I didn’t know the details of what had happened to them, I just sat still and watched the scene awkwardly.
***
After exiting the cave, he returned to the carriage.
After receiving the apnea magic enchantment, I headed straight to the designated place by myself.
After sitting with her back against a tree and waiting for a while, a woman appeared from within the forest.
“······What you looking at.”
The corners of her eyes were still red, so when I looked up, the blunt words returned.
I shook my head and got up from my seat.
“I’m leaving right away.”
“If you don’t say it, will you?”
The woman threw down her clothes and walked towards the lake. I followed him too.
Now it was time to go find the mystery of space leap.
She, who had been staring at the water surface, glanced at me and asked.
“But you’re human. You can’t stay in the water for long, can you?”
“It doesn’t matter because I put a magic on it.”
“Oh yeah······.”
Read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
He hesitated as if he had something else to say, then said in a crawling voice.
“Thank you.”
“···········?”
“Thank you, for treating my grandfather. Thank you so much.”
“okay.”
I answered briefly.
There was nothing I needed to thank because I was treated because I wanted something.
As she spoke, she wiped her face with a sullen look, then stuttered and shouted.
“······· OK? Is this your way of saying thank you? Because I’m not as brazen as you!”
Is this a fight or a thank you note?
I sighed and said.
“Before you go in, tell me about the place I’m looking for. Somewhere in the lake.”
She glanced around the lake, pointed in one direction, and said:
“See over there? You have to go over there and go down to the point where you can almost see the bottom. It’s pretty deep.”
I also looked where she was pointing.
I nodded my head because I didn’t know how to see it from above anyway.
“Well, what worries me is that if you go that deep, you might run into those damn spiny fish…”
“A spiny fish?”
“Yeah, he has a dirty long, pointed nose, and he’s twice as big as you.”
If it’s a fish monster with a long and pointed nose…
‘You’re talking about a charging fish.’
Their level is not high in their 30s for adults, but at most hundreds of them flock to them and hunt them.
Their whole body is covered with hard scales, and they use sharp thorns protruding in front of them as weapons to charge and attack as their name suggests, so the greater the number, the more lethal.
I definitely remembered these guys as monsters that I had been properly reverse-toured when I was a beginner.
“Well, that’s fine. There are only a few, because I can handle them easily. You just have to trust me and follow me.”
she said smirking.
I looked at the level above my head.
39 isn’t at a level where you can be so confident, but…
As she continued to speak, she asked as if she was curious.
“But why are you looking for that place? Are there any hidden treasures?”
gold and silver treasure
There are hidden treasures that can’t be compared with anything like that.
“I don’t know.”
“Aha, I see. Are you trying to find a treasure ship? I’ve seen a lot of people like that when I was living at the beach… Wait, but this is a lake. You’re not doing anything stupid to find a treasure ship in the lake, are you?”
“Stop talking and guide me now.”
At that, she snorted and jumped right into the water. I followed and jumped in.
with a splash!
Seeing her in the water, she instantly changed into a figure covered with scales.
If you look closely now, you can see that there were gills on his side. It’s interesting.
As if she was telling me to follow her, she swam first, waving her fingers and moving.
‘It’s too fast.’
He worked hard to pursue her, but of course he had no choice but to fall behind.
How can I, as a human being, catch up with a race that lives in water?
She shouted when she saw that I was lagging behind. Even though she was underwater, her voice was clearly pierced in her ears.
– What’s so slow! come fast! just leave it alone?!
Were the Haerin people capable of raising their voices underwater?
Anyway, while saying that, she started moving slowly at my pace.
how long has it been
As we got to a fairly deep place, big fish appeared and passed by.
– It’s okay, these aren’t the first to attack…
The expression on her complexion, who had been speaking with ease, hardened for a moment.
Something huge was approaching fast from below.
A monster with black scales that look hard like armor, and thorns pointed forward like a lance.
‘damn.’
I also looked at him and frowned.
It was the charging fish she mentioned before going into the water. I’m really encountering this.
– Be careful!
Whoops!
She flew in as if she was shooting at the guy who was charging towards this side and smashed it with her fists.
Even in the water, it was as fast as running on the ground.
A charging fish that had been properly hit in the body spit out blood and sank down the shaft.
Unlike her, who was relieved, I looked around.
This is because they were much more likely to travel in groups than as single individuals.
I could feel a huge amount of ghosts starting to gather around me.
– Huh, huh?
She also looked around with a puzzled face.
The charging fish that flocked in an instant surrounded us and spun around like a tornado.
The number gradually increased and soon passed hundreds. It was like a black wave.
‘Aww…’
I watched the scene as if tired.
