How to Live as an Illegal Healer

123. 2 thorns by the campfire

.

It is one of the things that adventurers traveling to the Azul Continent should pay attention to. This is because the damage is weaker than weapons such as spears or knives, but the probability of causing status abnormalities is high.

“Fortunately, there are no signs of abnormal status.”

The spines of the star hedgehog are short, only about 1 to 2 cm long.

“Small thorns like this do not cause status ailments such as bleeding. Plus, it’s not poisonous, so you won’t get poisoned or paralyzed.”

As long as the thorns are removed, the arm can be used immediately without any problems.

“It’s because it’s hard to pull out.”

“It is, too.”

Red Road No. 3 sighed and muttered.

“I was just trying to pull it out.”

In fact, several of the thorns in the patient’s arms were either broken or deeply embedded.

It is proof that the attempt to pull out the thorn failed.

“It happens often.”

The smaller the size of the thorn, the lower the chance of causing a status ailment, but at the same time, the difficulty of removing it increases. That’s why many healers used to think thorns were disgusting.

‘It’s cumbersome to treat, but the wound itself isn’t a big deal, so I can’t make much money.’

The point is the same, so Kang Seung-hyun also didn’t like thorns very much.

‘I would have taken out the tweezers first while cursing.’

[Extraction]

‘I have a new skill today.’

Kang Seung-hyun extended his right hand and activated [Extract].

Shaa!

Then, a translucent hand appeared out of thin air.

It didn’t look like a human hand, but a skull made of glass, like a large skeleton’s hand.

‘Am I invisible to those guys?’

Nickel or Patient No. 3 did not pay attention to the hand that suddenly appeared and just stared blankly at Kang Seung-hyun.

‘Good. I would have screamed if I had seen it.’

This hand was able to be freely manipulated by Kang Seung-hyun, but it passed through walls or objects as if it was invisible to others and had no physical substance.

Naturally, it was impossible to grab or attack objects with these hands.

‘Looking at it this way, it’s a garbage decoration skill that only looks good.’

rattle.

Let Kang Seung-hyeon touch the patient’s arm with his bony hand, to be precise, the thorn in the body.

Faaaa!

The thorn that had been stuck in it emits light and disappears, and then

the pod!

Parbat!

At the same time, several small thorns appeared in Kang’s left hand.

‘It’s triggered like this.’

[Extraction] is a skill that expels foreign substances from the target’s body. It was the ability to teleport to another place.

‘Are you okay?’

Seunghyun Kang thought with a satisfied face.

Now, if you know the approximate location, you can easily remove foreign substances that are difficult to remove using [Extract].

‘It’s not without flaws, though.’

The downside is that it consumes quite a bit of stamina and that if Kang Seung-hyeon doesn’t know the location of the foreign object, he can’t use it. And the removed foreign matter was transferred to Kang Seung-hyun’s hands, not anywhere else.

‘It doesn’t matter since it’s not a threat right now, but toxic substances will be a bit annoying.’

I guess I need to prepare separately for that.

“Removed.”

Roaring!

Kang Seung-hyeon showed the thorn in his hand and threw it into the bonfire to avoid being stabbed.

“What did you do?”

“I pulled out the thorn stuck inside.”

“Which gap?”

Nickel and No. 3, who did not see the hand of [Extraction], shouted with bewildered faces.

To them, it was because Kang Seung-hyeon had just opened and closed his hand, but the thorn had disappeared.

“Can you teleport?”

“There’s no way it could be possible with that kind of bottom magic.”

“Then it was moving so fast that we didn’t notice!”

The two never thought it was magic and thought that Kang had removed the thorns with his hand moving at breakneck speed.

“Wonderful! To the point where we right in front of us don’t even notice!”

“That’s the reason we didn’t hit even one when we fought earlier!”

‘It can’t be.’

The two were seriously mistaken about something, but Kang Seung-hyun decided not to correct it.

“Other than that, there are no other problems. I think I can sleep well and wake up.”

Instead, the treatment ended with a [Cure Judgment].

Red Road No. 3 bowed his head and said hello.

“thank you! I couldn’t sleep because I was sick!”

“This is in lieu of the reward!”

Nickel pulled out several bottles of wine.

The name is the 13th sun. It is a fine wine enjoyed by Camarcan nobles.

“The 13th sun? That’s pretty expensive.”

“I was blown away by the Kamar wizards!”

“For some reason, he was holding expensive wine… well, I’ll drink it.”

Kang Seung-hyeon was thinking about what to do with the wine that was full of wine. Even if I wanted to drink right now, the person who would be my drinking partner was sleeping.

“It’s bigger…”

‘Shall we just drink it tomorrow?’

The moment I thought about it like this,

“You must be very tired, but I’m sorry for asking for treatment for the children. If you like, eat this with wine.”

Rosent brought cheese to eat as a snack. Apparently, the reason Nickel and No. 3 came to Kang Seung-hyun was because of Rosent.

“You even prepared snacks, so I can’t just skip it.”

Seunghyun Kang said while opening a bottle of wine.

“If the time is right, let’s all drink together.”

“Can I?”

Nickel, who was listening, asked with a brightened face.

“It’s no fun drinking alone.”

“Then I’ll make you a stamina cocktail.”

Nickel pulled a cocktail shaker out of her bag.

“Because my nickname is Red Road’s bartender!”

And so the late-night cocktail party began.

-“Let’s go for cocktails!”

[Cocktail Shaking]

Nickel made a cocktail with skillful hands.

‘Looking at him using the skill, did he just eat and make cocktails?’

There was a reason why he was nicknamed the bartender.

You must have made enough to acquire the skill.

Leap.

“Eat it.”

Nickel poured the finished cocktail into a glass. I didn’t expect much because I made it on the spot, but it tasted better than I thought.

“It’s fine. You can sell this for money.”

“Hehe, after eating and making cocktails, I even acquired a skill.”

‘Was it real?’

“The captain also likes stamina cocktails.”

said Nickel, bringing the cocktail glass to his lips.

“So after making it a few times, the skill is voila.”

“Because Le Peny likes your cocktail the most.”

Rosen said while slicing the cheese into bite-size pieces.

“Today, Healer Kang Seung-Hyun is able to enjoy wine like this thanks to Le Peny. thank you so much.”

Otherwise, LeFenie would have planted the symbiote and the hideout would have been a mess.

Seunghyun Kang said while drinking wine.

“After all, I almost endangered everyone here.”

“…But it’s not like I don’t understand that child’s feelings.”

“You speak like a teenager.”

“Ahahahaha… I raised LePenny from a young age.”

“From an early age? I don’t think he’s your father.”

Rosent replied with an awkward smile.

“Actually, I’m Le Peny’s maternal uncle.”

There was a reason for the Red Road members and Le Peny’s attitude. He is the captain’s relative. It was because he was an uncle who raised him like a father.

“My older sister was a Trakoti commoner, but thanks to her above-average magical power, she married into a noble family of Camar.”

“I thought he was a country bully.”

“The captain is the Demershire family master. I hate to talk about it.”

“It turned out that he was a madman from an aristocratic family.”

Le Peni was surprisingly from Camar. Not from an ordinary family, but from a prestigious wizarding family.

“I thought they were going to have children and live well there, but the youngest was born as a magic resister…”

When Le Peny was born, the Demershire family went into chaos. It’s because a magic repulsor was born in a wizard’s family, not anywhere else.

“I heard that it is a cursed child, that it will destroy the family, that it has to be killed, and so on.”

A newborn baby less than a month old.

Unable to see the scene, Rosent’s older sister entrusted her youngest son to her parents’ house before she passed away.

“I was born into a family of wizards as a magic resister, so my personality deserves to be like that.”

“I’m sorry that Inseong is like that.”

Hearing a familiar voice, he turned around and saw Le Peny standing there with a thick face.

Seunghyun Kang said with a bright smile.

“Oh, it’s okay. Because I understand.”

“What do you understand!”

LePeni sat on the floor annoyed. It looks like he came for a cocktail.

“Nickel, give me a drink too.”

“One more cocktail to go!”

[Cocktail Shaking]

Nickel excitedly shook the shaker.

“If you want to talk about me, call me.”

“Ahahahaha… I’m sorry. I thought you were sleeping.”

“But it is not wrong. The house is that tail.”

Le Peni muttered while drinking a cocktail.

Not being able to use magic is also a disgrace to the family, and even has a tendency to interfere with other people’s magic. I can imagine what his childhood must have been like.

“Brothers see me as worse than a bug, my relatives shake their mouths whenever they see me, and my father… let’s not talk.”

He even said that he was the only one of his siblings to have red hair because he resembled his mother.

“So my family raised me in Tracotti when I was little.”

“My hometown is Tracotti.”

Little Le Peni was raised in Tracotti by her grandparents and Rosent. He said it was the happiest time of his life because he didn’t have to worry about his constitution or hair color there.

“But when LePenny was 12 years old, the Demershire old man took him away saying he could no longer rot in the country town.”

“What would a magic repulsor like me do in Kamar?”

Le Peny was led back to Camar by her father’s hand, but she never learned magic because of her magic-repelling nature.

In addition, Camar, who has many wizards, was reluctant to Le Peny’s constitution, so he mocked or avoided him.

“Old dog. I said I didn’t want to go.”

In the end, the only people who could hang out with Le Peni, who couldn’t do anything, were commoners with little or no magic power.

“The only thing that helped was the Battle Mage’s taijutsu, wasn’t it?”

“That’s why it was so strong in close combat.”

“Well, no matter how great my skills were, this damn city wouldn’t recognize me.”

Le Peny couldn’t learn magic, so she couldn’t become an official battle mage. So I skipped school and wandered the streets of Camar.

“Then, when I got into a fight with the wizards and beat them up, it ended up like this.”

Then some children started following Le Peny and the present Red Road gang was born.

“The captain ranks first in kamar in terms of taijutsu skill!”

“that’s right! You defeated the wizards who were messing around with us!”

Nickel and Gascoigne proudly said. LePeni continued while drinking a cocktail.

“As long as it’s not a monster like you, I can catch most of them.”

A unique style of anti-magician who uses skill cancellation instead of magic, although he used the battle mage’s martial art.

Wizards have no way to do anything, and the moment they allow access to other jobs, it’s the same as losing.

In fact, Le Peny was a 100,000 winners until he lost to Kang Seung-hyun.

“Then, three months ago, I discovered a transfer dungeon. For a while, I was playing with the kids in the dungeon, so I didn’t pay attention to Camar.”

In the meantime, it is said that a rumor spread in Camargue that ‘if Tracotti’s blood is mixed, a mana-repellent constitution will be born’.

Of course, it was bullshit spread by evil wizards.

“There were rumors spreading like crazy.”

However, rumors that Le Peni was an idiot from a fairly famous family were not suppressed.

“Even people who dye their hair red to go to Kamar are starting to come out.”

“We purposely dyed our hair red.”

On the contrary, it is said that there has been an increase in blatant discrimination against people with tracotti red hair in Camar.

“You know the story of the Red Road kid I told you about? He went shopping in Camar and heard about it from wizards passing by.”

It was because of that that the little Red Lord wiped out the wizards with [Anti Magic]. After hearing about the rumors, Le Peni was really upset and started attacking the Kamar Wizard in earnest.

“I deliberately only attacked people who didn’t have red hair. Eat some shit.”

“There are people who dye their hair red on purpose these days.”

Then, after discovering the symbiote, it is said that Red Lord was preparing various plans to destroy Kamar.

“Well, everything is ruined now.”

Of course, now that I know of the danger of Gordian Larva, I have given up terror cleanly. He had no desire to seek revenge, even endangering his colleagues and family Tracotti.

“Still, there are still hideouts and dungeons… so I will continue to hide here and find new ways.”

“Actually, I have something to say about that.”

Kang Seung-hyun was about to talk about the transfer dungeon.

Whoops!

Blasphemy!

Suddenly, the wall cracked with a sound that sounded like something was vibrating loudly

.

Bros!

At the same time, something like the flapping of wings of an insect began to be heard.
