How to Live as an Illegal Healer

27. Q&A 1

Kang Seung-hyun returned to his room at the inn. As soon as I entered the room, I locked the door and looked around.

‘Nothing stands out.’

Azul Continent is a mess of security and human rights are stuck in the gutter. When rumors spread that one adventurer had made a fortune, three or four assassins often came as night guests.

‘I’m sure no one will come.’

However, Kang Seung-hyeon tended to trade without going through the Adventurer’s Guild, so even if he made money, word of mouth didn’t spread much.

‘Thanks to that, it’s nice that there’s nothing bothering me.’

Seunghyun Kang sat down on the bed.

Now there is no one to interrupt, no one to eavesdrop. He did what he was told to do neatly.

‘No matter what, it’s a perfect situation to send a message.’

Kang Seung-hyun sat down on the bed and briefly wrote down what happened today. While I was taking notes, I waited for an answer from ‘something’, but

‘What’s wrong?’

Nothing happened. Seunghyun Kang frowned.

‘Why is there no news?’

I got it after working hard all day.

‘Couldn’t it…Did I just tell you because it’s a really good item and it’s a pity to miss it?’

It can’t be. The fact that he responded after 3 years without saying anything means that there is a reason.

‘Did I miss something?’

Seunghyun Kang looked at the message once again.

[Put that in your hand]

Kang Seung-hyun looked at the bracelet he was wearing. I was told to put it in my hand, so I put it in my hand, but why is there no response?

‘…Could the hand here refer to the real hand?’

One of the slang words used among dimension movers is ‘take it into your hands’. This doesn’t really mean pick it up, it means put things in your inventory.

‘Well, he’s been watching us too, but there’s no way he doesn’t know the jargon of dimension movers.’

Kang Seung-hyun returned the bracelet to the crossbow. Black energy wrapped around the bracelet and returned to the crossbow.

‘Let’s put the crossbow in the inventory. If it doesn’t work after putting it in, then go and think again.’

Seunghyun Kang put Freea’s crossbow in his inventory.

[You did it]

A message came from him as if he had been waiting for it.

“…Give me a hint.”

Kang Seung-hyun glared at the message and said.

[Achievement Accomplished!]

At the same time, a message appeared indicating the achievement was achieved.

‘I expected this much.’

If I had prepared for such a troublesome task, I would have made at least one achievement.

“huh?”

But it was no ordinary achievement.

[Accomplished achievement: □□□□ of □□□□]

[□□□□ left □□ to □Eulkyung □□ Castle.]

‘What is this?’

I couldn’t read it because the letters were broken. The only words that can be recognized are ‘achievements achieved’ and ‘left’.

“I think there is a system error right now?”

Kang Seung-hyun shouted at ‘something’, but there was no answer. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything I can do either.

‘Considering the achievement achievement message that has appeared so far…’

[Achieved: Rare 1:1]

[Achieved when hunting rare monsters alone.]

Kang Seung-hyun recalled an achievement he had recently achieved.

‘The last part [Kyung □□ Castle] is this, right? [if achieved].’

All achievement messages ended like this.

‘The middle letter [□ to □] is [get it].’

Obtaining a crossbow was a condition for achieving the achievement. Inventory, to be exact.

‘If you roughly guess the missing letter… is this a sentence?’

Achieved by obtaining the □□ left by □□□□.

I’ve been able to guess this far, but I haven’t been able to figure out the first two most important words.

‘Is it [weapon]? Then there’s no way it will end with [e]. It doesn’t even look like a crossbow.’

Seunghyun Kang pondered and opened his mouth.

“It’s a [artifact].”

There are no words other than that. Pria’s crossbow must also be an item obtained from the artifact.

This is what happens when you complete a sentence with the word you figured out.

“Achievable if you get your hands on the artifacts left by….”

support position.

As Kang Seung-hyun read the blanks aloud, the status window screen crackled.

[Achievement Achievement: □□□□’s Artifact]

[Achieve if you acquire the artifact left by □□□□.]

‘It has changed.’

When the answer was correct, the text returned to normal. ‘□□□□’ that has not yet been guessed has not returned.

‘What the hell is this? So who left the artifact?’

As of now, there is no way to know. Because there is no such thing as a hint.

‘Let’s think about this later.’

I’m curious, but it’s not urgent right now.

‘The important thing now is…’

Kang Seung-hyeon took out Freea’s crossbow from the inventory.

“See? I got this as instructed. I also broke an achievement.”

Seunghyun Kang shouted into the air.

“But do you have anything to say to me? I hope this isn’t the end.”

I confirmed that there was ‘something’ beyond the status window. He also granted his request. All that remains is to obtain new information.

“Stop watching and come out. Let’s talk!”

[★]

As soon as Seunghyun Kang finished his words, a message window with a black star appeared in front of him.

‘Is this like an icon that symbolizes this guy?’

Whatever it is, it seems that I can get close to him if I get involved with ★.

[Okay]

“What?”

[Your question]

[I will answer]

[I will]

Finally got a chance to communicate with him. Maybe there will never be an opportunity like this again.

[Question]

[5 questions]

And the message that followed.

The text of the message was getting shorter and shorter. It seems that this guy can’t tell you everything either.

‘Is there any time limit? Or a character limit?’

If you ask, he will answer, but asking such a question is a waste of questions.

‘Let’s think carefully.’

There are many things I want to ask, but there are only 5 questions I can ask. Now you have to think carefully to get a lot of information.

‘Let’s ask the most curious thing.’

Kang Seung-hyun shouted the first question into the air.

“Are you the one who brought us to the Azul Continent?”

After waiting for a while, a message flew in. There was only one letter written on it.

[O]

[4 left]

“As expected….”

As expected, ‘something’ was the one who dragged the earthlings to the Azul continent.

“So who the hell are you? What are you doing?”

I asked a second question, but got no answer. It was the same when I asked the same question one more time. Instead, there was no message that the number of questions had decreased.

“Maybe yes or no. Is this the only thing I can do… Oh, this isn’t a question, so don’t answer.”

Kang Seung-hyun twitched his chin and was lost in thought.

‘I won’t be able to hear the specific reason… but I have to ask this. Because there is no one to answer except this guy.’

Kang Seung-hyun shouted the second question he had prepared.

“Is there any way we can get back to Earth?”

Most important question. that’s the way to go home

‘It’s hard to know the specific method with only 5 questions, but I’ll be able to find it someday.’

What if there is none?

‘Why don’t you kidnap people and come up with a way to get them home?’

It doesn’t matter if I die here for the rest of my life. I will definitely find him and kill him.

[O]

[3 left]

Fortunately, Seunghyun Kang didn’t have to kill anything beyond the status window.

“There are.”

Seunghyun Kang muttered with a depressed face. I don’t know the specifics, but there was definitely a way to get home.

“Will you tell me sooner?”

I muttered a little, but there was no answer from him.

‘The two most pressing questions have been resolved. There are 3 questions left.’

How can I use this to get as much information as possible? Seunghyun Kang shook his head.

‘There are many things I want to know about myself… But to be honest, it’s not that important.’

The reason why you can’t use magic or the reason why you can’t use heal.

I’m curious about these things, but finding out the reason won’t change much. Even now, I eat well and live well without magic or healing.

“Has anyone ever returned to Earth?”

Seunghyun Kang raised the third question. Depending on what answer ‘something’ gives, the next question will be decided.

[X]

[2 left]

“As expected.”

No one has returned to Earth in the past three years. It is said that no one has found a way to return.

‘It’s very difficult to find or I can’t figure it out with normal methods.’

Seunghyun Kang thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“I’ve been thinking about it. I’m sure they didn’t arrest us for no reason either. It has a purpose.”

The reason why the people of Earth were brought to the Azul Continent. There will be something there.

“Perhaps you have to fulfill a special purpose to return to Earth. It seems that no one has achieved their goal so far.”

You can tell by looking at the fact that no one has ever returned to Earth. It is said that no one has achieved their goal in the past three years.

‘I need to find out what the purpose is…. With two remaining questions.’

To get the answer you want with just two questions.

‘This is the only way to find out as much information as possible with the OX quiz.’

I have no choice but to ask a very long and detailed question.

“You have kidnapped Earthlings to the Azul Continent. You want Earthlings to do something for you. Choose the one that is closest to the correct answer.”

Kang Seung-hyeon showed the sentence written in his notebook into the air.

1)

{Collecting points}

{Collecting items}

2)

{Using skills}

{Growing up and becoming stronger}

Any dimension mover can use the status window. If so, there’s nothing better than a status window for him to hide his target.

‘There are four things you can do with the status window. I wish there was an answer to this question.’

Which of these 4 actions should be taken first?

“If there is a correct answer to number 1, O. If there is a correct answer to number 2, X. If there are no answers or all of them are correct, do not answer for 5 minutes.”

Kang Seung-hyun said to the air.

This way, you can get information without asking questions. There is a limit to his answer, but there is no particular limit to Kang Seung-hyun’s question.

‘Now all that’s left is to hear the answer from him.’

And exactly 5 minutes later.

A message with an answer flew in.
