How to Live as an Illegal Healer

484. Western Tehes 3

“The fact that you need to disguise yourself as the Admiral Knights means that your purpose is not to hunt monsters in the Contaminated Zone.”

Huss Iaref, who was lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth slowly and spoke.

“answer. The Knights uniform doesn’t block contaminated monsters, but it prevents humans from the contaminated area from approaching.”

The moment when you have to keep the same law as the outside in Tehes, a lawless land where there is no law and order.

It was when he encountered a special forces member patrolling the contaminated area.

“If a person wearing an Admiral’s Knight’s uniform came into sight, most of them would have avoided it, but they wouldn’t come close.”

“Ask a question!”

Lee Ji-ah, who was listening to the story, raised her hand and shouted.

“It’s a bit like saying this here, but.”

“Then don’t do it.”

“Considering the garbage-like personality of the dead people playing in the polluted area, I think they would just kill them as soon as they meet the special forces members?”

“There is a skill dedicated to the Contaminated Zone special forces unit that when a unit member dies, the identity of the killed target is transmitted to the special unit camp.”

That’s why dimension movers don’t bother to touch the special forces since there are idiots who kill special forces without thinking and then get chased or died because they are wanted.

“For reference, the initial intention was to gather information about the contaminated monsters that killed the unit members.”

“Now it’s turned into an amulet to ward off adventurers.”

As Alec giggled and added a few words, Huss Iaref glanced at Kang Seung-hyeon and his party and opened his mouth.

“Yeah, I understood the intent. So you disguised yourself as our knights and avoided the eyes of adventurers… what the hell are you trying to do?”

“Don’t look at me that way. There is nothing bad about you either.”

Kang Seung-hyun’s party’s ultimate goal.

“Because our goal is to return the contaminated areas to normal.”

“what?”

Huss Iarev, as well as his aide, looked at Kang Seung-hyeon in amazement.

To return the contaminated area to normal.

So far, a miraculous thing that no one has been able to achieve even though many dimension movers have tried and tried.

“What the hell…”

“Is that true?”

“Oh, don’t ask how. Because it’s hard to explain.”

It doesn’t matter if I tell you the purpose, but there’s no reason to tell you the process in detail.

“In any case, you just need to know that our goal is to make Tehes, which is rotten, habitable.”

“….”

“Isn’t that a benefit to Huss too?”

When Tehes returns to normal, there will be no reason for the Admiral’s Knights to stay here anymore, so you can return to Hind to stop the Adventurer’s Guild and manage the town.

“Of course, it’s up to Huss whether you believe me or not, but since you don’t have a choice anyway, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to just believe it?”

“…Apart from that, searching for the missing people in Tehes is the basic mission of the Admiral Knights.”

“Then let’s look for it. But don’t expect too much. Hus-nim, you know the general atmosphere of Tehes right now, right?”

“How is the atmosphere in Tehes right now?”

“Not good.”

When Kim Ho-jung asked with round eyes, Huss Iarev shook his head and answered.

“Originally, powerful adventurers were taking care of the contaminated monsters of Tehes, but now those adventurers are all gone.”

“They disappeared?”

“Eyewitnesses said that all of them ran out of Tehes as if possessed by something.”

“ah.”

After hearing the story, Kim Ho-jeong and Lee Ji-ah looked at Kang Seung-hyun.

Kang Seung-hyun only looked at the two with a face asking what he was looking at.

“Although, the recent disappearance cases have increased rapidly, and several of my men have disappeared, but to make matters worse, even the adventurers who dealt with the contaminated monsters have disappeared…” “So I asked outside for help, but no one asked me to come

. It’s like a strange guy coming and threatening you.”

“….”

“The face of someone who knows that is asking me to say something like that.”

“….”

“A face telling me not to read other people’s thoughts right now.”

Instead of answering, Huss Iarev turned his head and let out a sigh.

‘…Certainly there seems to be no choice.’

I want you to cooperate to purify the contaminated area.

It’s an offer that you can’t easily believe, but if you can’t refuse anyway, it’s easier to believe what he says.

–

After a while.

Kang Seung-hyun and his party changed into the uniforms of the Admiral Knights.

“Your clothes are pretty.”

“Because it’s expensive.”

The basic design is common to all special forces, but the knights uniform wears a cap and no cape. There is a small difference between the uniforms of the Ranger unit and the fact that they have a cape and wear a hood.

As a bonus, the Admiral’s Knights uniform is navy blue.

It is said that it is made of materials with high poison resistance, so that it can withstand the corruption and miasma of Tehes for as long as possible.

“Hey Kang Seunghyun. Did you know that Liwen was missing?”

“no? I just found out about it.”

“But why are you talking like you’ve been waiting?”

“That’s because the purpose was to borrow the Knights uniform from the beginning.”

Kang Seung-hyun looked in the mirror and adjusted his hat.

“Originally, I was planning to persuade Huss Iaref to borrow it, but I changed my route because I thought it would be more effective to threaten him with the disappearance of Liwen.”

“Persuasion and intimidation are like flipping the palm of your hand.”

Lee Ji-ah also looked in the mirror, straightened her hair, pressed down on her hat, and smiled with satisfaction.

“Once everyone is ready, let’s go.”

“yeah.”

“for a moment.”

As Kang Seung-hyun and his party were about to leave, Huss Iaref stopped them for a moment.

“So what is your party name? Even though it’s camouflage, they even received the Knights Badge, so it’s like a regular team going on a mission.”

“The name of our party?”

Seunghyun Kang and the others looked at each other for a while.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t decided yet.”

“Should I decide now?”

“I, Mr. Alec, mean those who rebel against the world…”

“Yamae Healer, Yame Tanker, Yamei Communications Area, Yame Disbelief, Since there are people with savage hair, let’s have a Yame Party.”

“The identity of our party is wild.”

Kang Seung-hyun and his party, aka ‘Yamae Party’, who even decided on the name of the party without sincerity on the spot, entered Tehes, the land of corruption and deterioration.

–

Trude trudge.

“I feel really bad here…”

Lee Ji-ah’s impression when she first came to Tehes was like this.

At first glance, it seems like an ordinary forest, but if you look closely, you can see that the trees are black and withered, and the muddy ground wriggles from time to time, and something like ooze flows out of lumps piled up on the roadside to form a puddle. space in.

“What kind of spirit do people who enjoy living in a place like this?”

“No sane kid would enjoy this.”

Min Soo-yeon grumbled briefly and took out the black stone from her inventory.

With that as a signal, Kang Seung-hyeon and Alec each went into combat readiness.

“Ah, Mr. Kim Ho-jung, wear a shadow robe over your knights uniform.”

“huh? why?”

“Well, you don’t have to wear it if you want to transform into a black beast.”

“Wow!”

Ho-jeong Kim panicked and started putting on the shadow robe at the exact moment when the ground that had been wriggling in an unpleasant way rose up and a monster poked its head in.

“Kiyaaa!!!”

“I just came in and a monster pops out?”

“It’s a polluted area.”

“It happens often in polluted areas.”

The monster that appears is a contaminated Paetonophis.

Originally, it was a monster in the form of a huge snake with red scales, but due to the influence of Tehes, it was dyed in a dark purple color, and it had a terrible appearance with black sap dripping from its eyes and nose.

“Kayaaaa!!!”

The guy opened his mouth wide and started firing sharp needles at Kim Ho-jung, who was closest to him.

Papababak!

“Huh huh?”

“Let me explain for the newbies.”

Seunghyeon Kang swung the [Dagger of Blue Moon] and quickly returned the flying needle.

“All monsters in the Contaminated Zone can use skills.”

“to?”

“Not even rare monsters or boss monsters, but normal monsters as well.”

“what?”

“It’s a polluted area.”

“It happens often in polluted areas.”

Wow!

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

The contaminated Phaethonophis opened its mouth as well, but this time it vomited a black liquid instead of a thorn.

slap slap slap!

The black liquid that had been vomited onto the floor wriggled and then turned into a snake and rushed towards the night party.

“Aaaaaaa!”

“What sort of junk mob is at the level of a boss mob?”

“It’s a polluted area.”

“It happens often in polluted areas.”

“Stop talking about that!”

“Whee-ha! Blood island!”

While the three of them dealt with the snake, Kang Seung-hyeon turned the [Cheongwol Dagger] lightly and looked at the contaminated Paetonophis.

“I hit back the needle that guy threw earlier, and seeing that the wound has healed in a while, it seems that he is also using a regeneration skill.”

“You use annoying skills. Can you handle it by blocking playback?”

“Thank you for stopping me.”

Min Su-yeon slammed the black stone into the floor.

[Panic Room]

Click!

Then, a square-shaped magic circle spread on the ground, and the contaminated body of Paetonophis instantly vibrated.

“Duration 7 seconds.”

“Enough.”

grasp!

Quaaaaaagh!

Kang Seung-hyeon kicked off the ground and ran out, swinging the [Blue Moon’s Dagger] and cutting off the contaminated Paetonophis.

Wow.

The cut tried to stick again, but failed due to the influence of [Panic Room], and Kang Seung-hyun quickly swung his dagger in the gap and sliced the contaminated Paetonopis into pieces.

cooong.

“End of Panic Room.”

“This is also over.”

Kang Seung-hyun brushed off the blood from the dagger, and Min Soo-yeon brushed off the dirt and mud from the black stone scepter.

“Is this a normal monster? Contaminated areas are all over the place?”

“It’s a polluted area.”

“It happens often in polluted areas.”

“Are you going to stop saying that?”

Less than 3 minutes after leaving the garrison.

Lee Ji-ah sat down on the floor, arrogantly, and Kim Ho-jeong sighed deeply and sat down next to her.

“Ah, come to think of it, where is Liwen? I don’t know if he’s still alive.”

Although he doesn’t like it very much, one of the goals of the night party is to find Liwen, who has disappeared.

“It’s Mr. Alec’s turn.”

“I can’t use Mr. Alec’s fortune-telling skill because there is no full map of the Contaminated Zone.”

“shit.”

“Honestly, I wish I could drink medicine and go around and die from being eaten by monsters, but if the culprit who sent Liwen to Tehes was Shin Yu-jun, it wouldn’t be such a trivial ending.”

The guy had a purpose, so he handed over the delphinidin to Liwen, and that’s why he went to Tehes.

If so, Liwen is likely alive.

“Why did Yujun send Liwen to Tehes in the first place?”

“That is none of our business.”

“Aren’t you curious?”

“I’m not curious.”

“I see.”

Kim Ho-jeong was curious, but kept her mouth shut.

“If Liwen were still alive and roaming the polluted area, he would most likely be a target for ‘those guys’.”

“Underworld!”

“So you don’t have to go looking for Liwen, just find the Underworld bastards and you can find Liwen too.”

“I see!”

“And the location of the rift where the Underworld is supposed to be…”

Kang Seung-hyeon took out the [Forgotten God’s Compass] from his inventory.

“Near the swamp under the black water.”

Based on the Admiral Knights’ garrison, it was in the same northeast direction as where the compass is pointing.
