Chapter 322 – Chapter 322

Before departure, I was briefed on my mission by Skin.
First of all, I’m not with them as a mercenary, but as a ‘porter’… All I had to do was lift the load.

“It will be quite heavy. This is because there are a lot of extra equipment and other things you might need for survival. Try it once, and share a little if it feels too heavy…”
“This is fine.”

I casually lifted the bag the size of my body that Skin gave me.
It’s just that I can’t handle mana.
The fact that Kaisis also said so many times, he said that even among the humans in this world, no one could come close to me in terms of pure physical ability.

In other words, unless you are a person who handles mana at a high level, if you fight well, I am strong enough.

“You child! Contrary to what it looks like, the power is good!Haha!”

Skin said while slapping me on the butt.

“I don’t know for what purpose you are going with this request, but we won’t betray a friend we trusted at least once. You won’t die before us on the way, so please put your mind at ease.”
“Thank you.”

It wasn’t a pretense, it was sincere.
Anyone can look suspicious, but the skin only takes me along with the request as promised. He didn’t ask further.
The crew also accepted him without hesitation.

‘Romance’, which is hard to find among modern people who pursue practicality, made my heart pound for no reason.
By the way…

‘It’s late.’

The sun is rising and the temperature is gradually rising.
A lord who has almost 200 people standing and does n’t even show his nose his.

It’s a situation where you can start at any time if that bastard comes right away.
Because of that one kid, 100 people were sweating and suffering. Even the beings who could be called the soldiers of the lord took off their helmets for a while to catch their breath.

In the meantime

Seeing the soldiers who were wiping their sweat hurriedly put on their helmets, it seemed that the lord had appeared.

“What are you doing! Not leaving! They’re like insignificant mercenaries. Are they idiots who don’t even know how to move autonomously if I don’t give them orders?”
“…”

In an instant, I was blown away by the unexpected rant.
What do you mean by that?
Even the appearance of the lord who appeared was terrifying. I’m not lying, it’s the first time a horse has ever looked pitiful.

“… Leave! Leave!”
“Depart!”

Meanwhile, Skin and Rose seem to be angry with the lord’s attitude of his.
As if he was used to it, he casually led the members and started to lead the way.

I also followed the mercenaries and glanced back.

‘It really does exist.’

It is a model of a villain that would appear in a fairy tale book that I always read to children. If it was a lord like that, I think it’s natural for everyone to be concerned about being stabbed in the back.

Even I, who saw it for the first time today, feel that it’s even weirder if that bastard doesn’t hit us in the back.

‘If he hadn’t been born as a real lord, he would have been stabbed and scoured right away.’

How long did you walk while muttering inwardly?

“Stop!”

Two scouts from the Black Drake Mercenary Corps and the Red Moon Mercenary Corps, who were advancing faster than anyone else in the front, shouted in a loud voice.

“Forward, Lizardman troops found. Even at a rough estimate, there are more than 30.”
“A lizardman in a forest like this… Ha, did you really think there was a treasure in this? Everyone ready for battle! Take advantage of the fight by surprise.”

It was an instant.
Scary to find the enemy, the fact that the battle started really suddenly.
And all of this was ‘reality’, not a movie.

“Kill!”
“Waaaaa!”

—… !
—It was a surprise attack. Raise your arms, everyone!

I thought I should help the mercenaries too, but it’s a piece of cake to help.

“…”

Even though I thought I had trained with Kaisis’ fantasy magic, my spine shuddered at the first taste of battlefield madness and my hands and feet couldn’t move properly.

“Beep…”

Suddenly, tinnitus starts ringing in your ears.
Of course, I felt sick to my stomach, and my vision seemed to blur for some reason.

Just… Even though he was just watching the battle in front of him from behind.

[Mr. Hyunwoo! Don’t panic!]

“… !”

Ah… Lee Rin?
I was able to come to my senses at the sound of Irene’s voice that seemed to resonate in my head for an instant.
She called her just in case, but she didn’t answer.

Perhaps the hallucinations I created…
However, even with that brief hallucination, I was able to quickly regain my composure.

‘Yeah, how embarrassing Irene would be if she saw me like this.’

Let’s not forget the purpose for which I came here.
As the head of a family, I came here for my family. I couldn’t show my weak side because I was just fascinated by this kind of battle.

“Uhhhhh!”

「Bhaaaaagh!」

“Wook!”

Still, the gross was the gross.

Just looking at it, sharp blades that make chicken meat grow all over the body, tearing the flesh of a two-legged humanoid lizard with disgusting blue scales, and watching it enter, I unknowingly try to vomit up.

I thought I could understand why many people suffer mentally for a long time because of the people who work after seeing human corpses or the aftermath of war.

‘If I saw something like this every day, everyone would go crazy.’

… I thought

I don’t think so.

“Die!”

Blah blah!

Looking at the skin that once again cuts the Lizardman’s shield in half with a huge axe, the back of the guy felt relaxed.

Exactly… It is obvious that people in this world have lived a different life from modern people who have lived peacefully.

“He’s the last one, Rose!”
“Okay!”

Scott… !

The wind-like stab pierced the lizardman’s neck at once. The mercenaries who saw it clapped their hands.

“Because it’s really great.”
“I’m not the leader for nothing.”

It was amazing to be able to do that even with blood all over the place and corpses rolling around.
I want to leave this place right now.

“Tsk, you handled it dirty like a savage mercenary. After the fight is over, why don’t you move again quickly?”

Undo what you just said.
Shit, it’s embarrassing that I had the same thoughts as that pig lord.

“… Tsk, let the injured get treated! We have a long way to go for the rest, so make sure to pack as little loot as you can!”
“Yes!”

I quickly approached the injured.
As I get closer to the people whose skin is torn, my complexion turns blue for no reason.

‘Once again, I would like to express my respect to the doctors who always save people.’

In particular, the doctors who perform the surgery would see this kind of scene without rest, but they were superhuman in a different sense when they saw that they were always cold-hearted and saved people.

“Puha, just looking at this makes it so hard. Will I become the son of a noble family?”
“Chiggle! Well, that face doesn’t look like a place like this.”

Feeling like the youngest since entering the host bar for the first time in a long time, I silently approached them and used the ‘Blessing of Treatment’.

“I’ll treat you, so please stay quiet.”

[Use ‘Blessing of Healing’.]

Pod!
The light seemed to come out, but in the place where the light disappeared, there was only the result of everything being restored in an instant.

“To…”

The mercenaries who saw it seemed to be stunned for a while.

“Eeeee

They were surprised enough to overdo it without even knowing it.
Is it that surprising?

… I tilted my head, but Skin, hearing the commotion, strode towards me.

“What’s going on? Has anyone ever died?”
“Bah, it’s the opposite. Leader… What is it, here… The guy who joined as a porter healed everyone’s wounds at once.”
“What?”

Skin looked at me and asked openly.

“Kim Hyun-woo, are you a priest?”
“No.”
“Hmm, that’s right. Did you guys hear it too? The priest is not. So, don’t show off as weird, treat them as the same ‘colleagues’ as you’ve always done.”
“Yes!”

Then he said something to me as well.

“Well… Healing the children is something to be thankful for even with a bowed head, but I think it would be better to hide that power from time to time.”
“… ?”

It was the first time I heard something like this.
When I showed a suspicious expression, Skin explained the reason as if it was ridiculous.

“If you see him exercising the power of healing even though he is not a priest, the temple will definitely not stand still.”
“…”
“… Can’t you tell me this far? Aren’t you kind of an idiot?”

Skin said.

“It’s the so-called monopoly of power. By monopolizing the right to immediate treatment, the temple clearly raises its value. That’s why beings with healing powers become members of the temple, even if forced or semi-forced.”
“What if I refuse it?”
“Do I have to say that with my own mouth? As I said before, new competitors can’t be welcome for those who want to monopolize, right?”

Skin responded by slashing his throat with his thumb instead.

“And, in the first place, it’s better to hide the power you have until the very end. It’s like a secret to surviving for a long time. Anyway, thank you for treating me. As the leader, I want to thank you once again.”
“It’s okay. If anyone gets hurt in the future, please come to me. I will treat you right away.”
“You…”
“Even if it feels like shit, it will.”
Haha!”

Even if it’s because the temple that tries to make a big profit from monopoly is disgusting, and there are more corners to believe.
I had no intention of hiding even the blessing of healing.
In the first place, I don’t have much to say other than this.

It was also something that I couldn’t help but go around this world in the future.
Rather, when you see even the priests who believe in God do monopoly-like things to make more money…

‘I’m afraid of that guy’s money in any real world. Fuck I’m afraid of money.’

If it wasn’t for Seonwoo Yerang, I would have lived with money, money, money every day, right?
Just imagining it really takes my breath away.

“Once the maintenance is over, we start again. Leave!”
“Depart!”

After repeating the battle and rest until evening, the sun was setting.

On the way, battles took place with not only Lizardmen, but also various monsters such as goblins, orcs, and even blue wolves with blue leather.

Surprisingly, there were no casualties.
It’s embarrassing to say it with my own mouth, but I was able to do that because of my strength.

All wounds can be healed with a single Blessing of Healing, because I heal all over the battlefield based on my high physical abilities.

I wanted to die, but I couldn’t.
Seriously, even the guy who had been thought to be dead after being instantly penetrated through the stomach by a goblin would have been brought back to life.

“Wow! Long live Kim Hyun-woo!”
“It turns out, the saintess… No, he was a saint!”

I saved my comrades, and I died and came back to life.
Who would hate me
Naturally, my stock price rose like crazy.

On the contrary, there were also people who looked at me with an ugly gaze.
This was exactly the case with the lord who tried to preserve the strength of the knights and soldiers by putting only the mercenaries at the forefront.

“Tsk…”

I was dumbfounded when I saw that the mercenaries clicked their tongue as if they were very openly sorry that not a single one had died.
What kind of kid do you have?
If I had absolute power like Kaisis, I would have just landed a drop kick in the face.

“You are hungry! Prepare your meal! As today is the first day, get ready! If you don’t like me, I’ll slit his wrists!”

I wondered why I was yelling at the mercenaries like that, so I looked inside the bag I was carrying.
There was only hard bread and dried jerky in the bag.
So, you’re going to salt the mercenaries with what that piglet will eat?

“Okay, fuck! Today I am the chapagetti cook!”

I just thought I had a social life and I was just going to move on.
I can’t stand it anymore.

Let’s see who gets salted.
I took out pork belly and ramen from the subspace pocket.
