Chapter 112 – 112.New Omen (3)
After that, he escorted Pamela as she collected plants, mushrooms, and insects and bugs used as medicine.
Pamela was excited every time she discovered whether there were really a variety of medicinal ingredients used as medicinal ingredients, and she put the collected medicinal ingredients into the subspace ring.
However, because living creatures such as insects and worms cannot be put in, I took out a small dagger and stabbed them to death before putting them in.
However, there were some medicinal herbs that Pamela could not catch on her own.
For example, it was a type of snake, which is one of the animals commonly used as medicine.
“That’s an armored snake. It’s hard skin scales are said to be good for skin care when ground up and used to neutralize poison, making it an effective antidote. However, it moves much faster than a human… Ugh.”
I wanted to catch it, but Pamela seemed to know that she couldn’t do it on her own.
If Yeonhwa had protection, she wouldn’t get hurt anyway, so she would have come closer to attack her, but right now, she doesn’t have protection.
“Leave it to me.”
“Time, time limit?”
The window has already been taken out for escort.
Just as you can see the trajectory.
Phew!
[Pierced through the armor snake.]
It quickly pierced the top of the armor snake’s head.
To the speed at which Adeline’s sword had to be struck, the armor snake’s movement was very slow, so hitting it was a piece of cake.
The armored snake stuck in the spear was pointed at Pamela.
“Is it okay to do this?”
“Ah, yes! Thank you!”
Without hesitation, Pamela grabbed the dead armored snake and placed it in the subspace ring.
Perhaps because I usually pick up a lot of insects as medicine, I didn’t seem to mind snakes at all.
And for about an hour, I explored and collected ingredients that could be helpful for medicine with Pamela.
I wanted to do it as a bonus before going on a culinary tour, but it was more fun than I thought to find various plants and insects with Pamela.
Moreover, since there was a subspace ring, it was easy to move around since there was no need to carry a bag.
It was in the meantime.
“Huh? Well, what on earth is that?”
Pamela, who was wandering around the forest and smiling, pointed to a certain place as if embarrassed.
“That…”
As I looked at the direction Pamela pointed to, I quickly stopped the words from coming out.
There was a dark red tree.
It wasn’t just dark red, but dark red lines were drawn here and there on the pillar, as if they were blood vessels.
Not only the tree trunk, but also the leaves and even the roots were dark red, and there was a dark red jewel embedded in the center.
If there was just one tree like that, you would think it would be rare, but the tree radiated a dark red energy that even the plants surrounding seemed to be eroding.
The plants around were also turning dark red, and some were drying out.
It was a omen.
What I was looking for so long.
A precursor to the beginning of Chapter 2 of the main story.
How the Chaos Church operates in Bitters.
It was a method of polluting the forest with the power of chaos by inserting essence containing the power of chaos into trees or plants.
“Wow, that tree is strange. It looks very ominous and that color is like… Radish, like a jewel stuck in the forehead of the holy water of water.”
And that was when Pamela guessed almost correctly.
-Keruk! Kihi!
“Uh, huh?! Why is the Mud Goblin here… And he looks strange!”
Three mud goblins appeared near the tree.
It’s not just a mud goblin either.
Perhaps due to the influence of the tree, it had dark red lines drawn all over its body like a tree.
When the appearance of the monsters in the Corruption series in Chapter 1 in Rupan was almost the same, it was said that it was a bit insincere to the users.
Chapter 2 came out after going through several festival events and sub-events.
From then on, the appearance of corrupted monsters changed significantly.
More intuitively, this state can be broadly known as a fallen state.
In other words, the state of waving dark red lines all over the body became a sign of the monster’s corruption.
It may be obvious, but the corrupted monsters with the dark red lines like that suffered more.
A group of corrupted mud goblins found us.
-Hey! Kihak!
-Kihi Iik!
“Pamela, get ready.”
“Yes, yes!”
Pamela, who had gained a lot of combat experience in the Fortis Group, immediately took out her staff and performed magic as usual.
“Vine of obsession!”
No matter how corrupted and strengthened he was, he was ultimately a mud goblin.
-Kihehe!?
-Kigeek!
The Corrupted Mud Goblin was unable to shake off the vines as they were caught in the vines of Pamela’s tenacity that rose from the ground and entangled themselves.
Of course, when I first saw it, I could have ripped off the vine of persistence that Pamela had spread, but Pamela’s vine of obsession also increased in power day by day as she faced various monsters.
Even if Pamela were alone here, she would be able to use Vines of Tenacity and then use the Spike of Crushing or the Sword of Loss for an extra hit to defeat her.
But I’m not alone now.
Percussion!
After running towards the restrained goblin, he followed her her her trajectory her and swung the sword to the side her her her once.
Sigh! The throats of the three corrupted mud goblins were cut off with a flashy water effect.
I easily killed the corrupted mud goblins and looked around.
“It seems there are no more monsters around.”
“Sihan. “What on earth are these monsters and trees?”
“I’m not sure. But my guess is…”
Puff poop! He stabbed one of the corrupted mud goblins in the chest, then cut it out and took out the magic stone.
Just like the corrupted goblins.
Corrupted Mud Goblins also had thicker magic stones than ordinary Mud Goblins.
“It seems similar to a rampage of monsters like Raden.”
“The size of the magic stone…”
Pamela also opened her eyes wide when she saw the size of the magic stone, which was noticeably different compared to the mud goblins she usually caught.
“Well, then the jewel embedded in this tree… Is it the same as the one embedded in the holy water?”
“At least it would be similar.”
“Oh, what should I do!”
“Let’s start by taking evidence at the scene first.”
I took out the camera I bought for my own use, like Yeonhwa or Atsubal, from my inventory and took pictures of the fallen fallen mud goblin and tree.
Snap!
Put the camera and photos in your inventory and look at Pamela.
“Pamela, we must withdraw first. This matter must also be reported to the Adventurer’s Guild.”
“Yes, yes! Ah, but… Is it okay if I leave it like this? Ah! Wouldn’t it be okay if I destroy it like I did when I destroyed the Jewel of the Holy Water?”
The method Pamela talked about seemed like it would actually work.
If it were me, I would probably be able to pierce through a gem that looks like a chaos stone and lose its effect.
However, with the appearance of a foreshadowing that can be entered in Chapter 2.
Because I know how to solve the chaos stone in the story development.
I thought it would be a great opportunity to leave it like this.
To be precise, going out in a way that I cannot break this chaos stone without permission turns into an opportunity.
The positions of the remaining members I thought of.
It is used as a very good excuse to recruit a healer.
If you consider the personality of the character you are recruiting, it will be a very good excuse.
That’s why I shook my head at Pamela’s opinion.
“No, I think it’s better not to touch it this time. I have a feeling, but… This time, I have a feeling that if I throw out the window carelessly, it won’t work. At a glance, I can see that it is affecting the surroundings, so I don’t know what will happen the moment I break it. Military.”
I explained it in a way that Pamela could understand, and she agreed with what I said.
“Yeah, that’s right. It’s not only affecting the tree it’s stuck in, but other plants as well… Plus, it’s also affecting monsters. I’m sorry.”
“No, there is no need to apologize. Rather, let’s get out of here quickly. If we stay too long, it might affect us too.”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
I took the corpse of the magic stone and the corrupted mud goblin, fell from the tree, and went straight to Suzar with Pamela.
After arriving in Suzar, I immediately went to the Adventurer’s Guild and reported to the receptionist.
It is said that Vitus also caught a situation that appeared to be the movement of the Chaos Church.
Of course, I also submitted a photo as evidence.
“This… Is definitely a situation that cannot be ignored. Thank you for watching.
The receptionist looked at the photo strangely, then nodded and bowed her head to me.
“What measures do you plan to take at the guild?”
“I think I should report it to the guild leader first.”
“I also have a corpse of a mud goblin that looks strange and a magic stone. Do you need it?”
“Do you have it? If so, please provide it to us for investigation! We will pay you twice as much as the Mud Goblin.”
After receiving an amount twice the usual exchange amount and submitting the Mud Goblin’s body and magic stone, he left the Adventurer’s Guild.
I’ve done everything to report, submitted photos, corpses, and magic stones, so my first job is done.
So what’s left is.
“Pamela.”
“Yes, Si, Sihan.”
“We’re done with everything outside Suzar, so let’s go wander around a store that’s known for having delicious food.”
“Ji, now?”
“Yes. Anyway, even if we discovered things that appear to be the influence of the Chaos Church, we have done everything we need to do right now. Since there is nothing more to do, wouldn’t it be better to send in the original schedule?”
“Well, that’s true. But are you hungry? There’s still an hour left until lunchtime… Oh!? Ho, did it take a lot of effort to carry me all the way back here? Well, of course, I got hungry quickly because I was heavy! “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
I was able to see a rush of apology due to Pamela’s perfect moodiness and low self-esteem, something I hadn’t seen recently.
“It’s not like that, so don’t worry. Since I played on a hot day like today, it’s inevitable that I’ll expend a lot of stamina.”
“Ah! I made Sihan waste even more stamina by listening to something like that…! I’m sorry, Sihan!”
Hmm, it’s been a while since I last saw it, and I felt a little excited because it felt like I was watching a rare scene.
I think I will drink more rice at lunch.
