“Ugh… … .”
I covered my nose with a sound of pain.
When the potion of purification exploded from within, the guy screamed for the world to leave, and soon after, it broke into pieces and melted as if the joints of his body were torn apart.
The stench was literally mind-boggling, but somehow I regained my consciousness and walked in front of his wreckage.
It had already melted, and now it was hard to even recognize its shape.
Was it a magic measure to prevent corruption?
The Flesh Golem literally rotted and rotted in an instant.
I don’t know how long ago it was like this… … .
“… … .”
I bowed my head for a brief moment for the unknown victims.
I never believed in a religion, so I didn’t know that there was a prayer worth memorizing at a time like this, so this was my best bet.
People who got involved because they had no power.
Maybe I too have followed the same path as them in this world.
“Whoa.”
Raising my head, I headed straight for the several gates guarded by the Flesh Golem.
Unlike the wide square, the gates were quite small.
I opened the door one by one and checked what was inside.
Living space, bedroom, warehouse, laboratory, etc… … .
Henir’s shadow opened it from afar to see if a trap was installed, but fortunately nothing happened.
I just wandered around the rooms looking for useful things.
Cash, precious metals, magic materials, laboratory equipment, books, equipment, and at least the clothes that Isabelle Gaudi would have worn were all piled up in a corner of the square.
I still didn’t know if the stench would go away, so I roughly tore off my clothes and covered my nose and mouth like a mask.
And it took about an hour or so before she was able to get all of her belongings out.
“I’m serious.”
It’s not large enough to fit all in your backpack.
Fortunately, if you apply Henir’s shadow ability, it can be used like a bag, so carrying it with you was not a problem.

Okay.
Storing and sorting is a problem.
In addition to the problem of disposal later, it was good to reduce the amount of items carried as much as possible.
It’s around 3pm right now, so if you count the time to go back, you’ll have at least three hours of free time.
I had no choice but to take out my phone and open the emotion window.

Of course, it should be convenient to have a notification window appearing in the air, but it was because my magical power was not enough to appraise all these things one by one.
“Whew… … town!”
I let out a sigh without realizing it, and stopped breathing at the stench of the tip of my nose.
And I tried to hold it in, but I couldn’t stand it, so I immediately took off the mask and bowed down.
“Week… !”
If you stay there, the stench and strange aura will make you really go crazy.
As I urged myself to finish it quickly and go, I continued my emotions on my phone.
A must-have for sure.
Hold.
totally useless.
In general, when divided into these three categories, there were overwhelmingly many things that were classified last.
“How come there are no clothes or any proper artifacts enchanted by a human called a witch.”
Maybe when he went to fight Lee Myung-jun, he took all the grandiose things with him, and then they just died, so they just disappeared.
I frowned involuntarily at the assumption that had enough credibility.
All the clothes were crap.
There were rare luxury items, but they were all thrown away.
Where on earth do you think the clothes that Isabel Gaudi used to wear?
In addition to that, all the trinkets I checked carefully because I thought they were magic tools or artifacts were all bad.
I thought it was just for decoration, but in most cases it was even fake.
some cash.
two gold bars.
a little bit of jewelry.
Looking at them, one thing I could tell for sure was the fact that Isabelle Gaudí did not prepare much for her old age.
After letting go of regrets, I went straight to work.
In the case of magical instruments and books that seemed to be for experimentation, I kept them all because it was difficult for me to honestly put a value on them.

Of course, all the unpleasant things were excluded.
As time passed, the general disposition or classification came to an end.
I let out a small laugh as I looked at the things I had pulled out and laid out.
It was spectacular.
[Sap of the first substance]
[Potion of Awakening Promotion]
[Resistance Gas Stone ― Poison]
[Ring of Pollution]
[Earring of Magic Control]
[Introduction to Necromancy]

Originally, Isabel Gaudi would have been carrying items related to Lee Myung-Jun, and a banshee necklace would have been added.
But even this alone was a great booty.
Especially the first three.
The sap of the first substance has been obtained before, but it is an item with a simple and powerful effect that permanently raises one stat.
I took this right away and strengthened my muscles.
Name: Yoo Ji-hyuk
Gender: M
Stamina: D (+)
Strength: C (+)
Agility: C (++)
Horsepower: E (+)
Arts: D (++)
Luck: C
At first, I was thinking about raising the horsepower.
However, thanks to the branches of the World Tree and power storage, it became possible to store and receive extra mana, so he was able to invest in his strength without hesitation.
I picked up the other two right away.
A potion of awakening and a gastrolith of resistance.
The Awakening Potion was not as good as the Awakening Potion taken before, but it was an item that obtained a large amount of invisible experience.
In the case of the resistance gastritis, it was an item that permanently increased resistance to status abnormalities.
I swallowed these as is.
As a potion of awakening stimulation, the experience of Henir’s shadow was increased, and when the resistance stone was swallowed, a notification window that said resistance to poison had risen as it was written came up.
“Whew… … .”
Being able to raise the ability for future events was a huge benefit.
Both strength and resistance to poison were valuable abilities.
Henir’s Shadow also acquired a large amount of experience, so hopefully the third ability might bloom in the near future.
Encouraged by that fact, I looked at the three bulky objects.
A ring, an earring, and a tattered book.
I used emotions in turn.
Ring of Corruption (Curse/Rare)
It is a ring with a bad feeling.
The reluctant anecdote is told that many of those who inadvertently put the ring on their fingers gave up their lives.
― If you wear it, you will suffer from a status abnormality (mental pollution).
― When worn, it blocks all mental interference except for the previous status abnormality (mental pollution).
Earrings of Magic Control (Stacked / Rare)
It is imprinted with the heart of a worm that eats magic crystals and forged it.
You can tell that it was made with a lot of effort in its beautiful appearance.
― Only people with a magic power of C or higher can wear it.
― It draws out and strengthens the flow of magic to use magic more easily.
― You can overlap objects and effects with similar effects.
Necromancy Primer (Skillbook / Consumable / Rare)
A book that will guide you through the first steps of an evil, stealthy, and powerful necromancy.
Anyone who has read this book will be different from who he was before, and he will be enslaved by the lust for power and commit taboos.
― Once used, the effect disappears.
― Magical level B or higher and can only be used by people who have mastered ‘Introduction to Magic – Advanced’
― You can learn the skill ‘Corpse Necromancer’.
― You can learn the skill ‘Necromancy’.
― Permanently increases evil tendencies.
“Hmm… … .”
They are obviously good things, but they are very vague things that I use.
I didn’t want to wear the Ring of Pollution just by explaining it.
Where the hell am I supposed to use this?
“I think it would be useful for torture… … .”
He didn’t even know if he would be able to defend against mental attacks by giving flesh instead of bones.
But honestly, in the case of the ring, it was better.
In the other two cases, even the minimum conditions for use could not be met.
Still, maybe someday I’ll have something to write about.
I used Henir’s shadow to swallow up all the items I had sorted.
He then threw all the solid fuels he had brought into the objects he had classified as useless and set them on fire.
It also included data and records about human experiments that Isabelle Gaudi would have done throughout his life.
When I saw that they had started to burn, I immediately moved on.
As soon as I came out of the cramped crypt with smoke, I took a deep breath.
“Fufu… !”
I think I will live now.
Whilst muttering like that, while I was packing the bag I had left next to me, I could smell an unpleasant smell.
It was the smell of my body without having to go far.
“… Let’s take a bath first.”
* * *
“Do you think this is right?”
“wait a minute.”
With the giant halberd thrown upside down to the ground, Kim Yoo-hyeon brushed her sweaty hair with her hands.
As the sweat dripped from his gestures, Lee Hyun-seong distorted his expression as if dirty.
Immediately he raised his glasses and carefully picked up the pale purple flower with his tongs.
“Will it take long to check?”
“It takes less than five minutes to prepare the reagent and monitor the reaction. In the meantime, everyone is taking a break. In that case, I have to do my part.”
Lee Hyun-seong answered Ivan Hunt’s question with a confident voice.
I looked around as if it was okay, and Jin Ye-seul was also by my side, pretending to be looking around.
“Then let’s take a short break.”
At the words of the captain, Ivan, Kim Yu-hyeon just collapsed and fell to the ground.
The terrain in this mock dungeon class is plain.
Thanks to this, I was exhausted as I poured out my energy to check and block the monsters coming from all directions.
‘But why am I the best with a dagger?’
He said he was a scout, but looking at him, he always stood on the front line with Kim Yoo-hyeon.
But honestly, I did very little on this battlefield.
Knowing that he suffered as much as I had never done anything, I naturally stood on the edge of my surroundings.
It was time to reach out for the water bottle that was tied to the waist, wondering if it was the neck or a little damp.
“I, here… … Drink this.”
“Thank you, but I’ll drink mine.”
I said that to Jin Ye-seul, who held out her canteen in front of me as if she had even read my thoughts. At my refusal, Jin Ye-seul muttered with a gloomy expression as usual.
“Um, sorry… … I made you uncomfortable… … .”
Then he bowed his head and stuttered to the side, the composition that looked like garbage no matter how you looked at it.
In fact, Lee Hyun-seong, who was looking at this side with interest, made eye contact for a moment, but seeing him awkwardly avoiding his gaze, it was clear what he was thinking.
“there.”
“uh?”
Meanwhile, Han Soo-young approached me and spoke to me carefully.
She had a more serious expression than usual.
“what. Is there anything?”
“Can we talk for a moment?”
When I asked that question, Han Soo-young asked in a quiet voice.
Nodding her head, she let out a small sigh.
“… What happened to you and Hyeonu?”
“What?”
Why is Choi Hyun-woo suddenly appearing?
She shook her head as if I didn’t know.
“You don’t even know… … .”
“What’s going on?”
“He’s a little weird.”
Han Soo-young replied that way.
In short, these days, they are confined to the training room every day and only train.
Her explanation was that training and training had been routine for a long time, but it has gotten worse in recent times.
And after hearing that, I replied:
“But it’s not easy for you either. I don’t think I’m in a position to tell anyone.”
“no. that… … .”
“that?”
“… … .”
Han Soo-young was silent.
Then he suddenly began to look at me with a fat gaze, and I quickly waved my hand.
“okay. As you said, it seems like a big deal. So I’ll go and ask you this, right?”
Han Soo-young nodded and added.
“I asked once, but he didn’t move.”
“I don’t answer what you said, is it different from what I’m saying?”
“… I understand what you are misunderstanding, but Hyeonu and I are just like family, right? We grew up together since we were young under the same teacher, so there’s no way we’re on bad terms. Me and her are just close friends.”
“uh. oh yeah sorry.”
I took a step back for a moment at Han Soo-young’s attitude, who suddenly spoke like a shot.
Then, Han Soo-young made a surprised expression.
“Mi, sorry. I didn’t mean to be angry… … Anyway, that’s what I mean… … .”
“Yeah, I know what you mean.”
I nodded.
It was because I thought that it would be terrifying if Han Soo-young came all the way and talked to me.
Then I said to her with a memory that came to mind.
“It’s fine. After this time is over, we can go to Choi Hyun-woo together and then go to the library.”
“Uh, what?”
Looking at Han Soo-young, who was confused as to whether she had heard anything strange from my words, I put my water bottle back on my waist.
