Chapter 32
32. Belloto Mountain Range 2
Kang Seung-hyeon The sun was just about to set when the party returned to camp. The camp was much more crowded than when we started.
“I’m here to get a quest reward!”
“A commission reward!”
“We will deal with it in order. Please stand in line.”
The Adventurers Guild staff, including Barcelo, seemed very busy.
“Oh, what a long line. This will leak me.”
“This is the busiest time.”
Evening is the time when people return to the village after a day’s work. It is only natural that adventurers flock to it.
“There are too many people there, so it won’t be easy to eat.”
“Ouch! will you give me all that? It’s not even a restaurant!”
There was also a long line in front of the restaurant tent. Compared to the inn food, it’s terrible, but you can’t eat even that much if you don’t line up.
“I will receive the reward, so Kim Ho-jeong, please stand in line at the restaurant.”
“I will. Because I don’t want to starve.”
Kang Seung-hyun turned his eyes to the kitchen in the corner of the camp. Some adventurers were cooking over a fire.
“If you can afford it, it’s better to make it yourself rather than buy it.”
Cooking utensils can be borrowed for free from the kitchen, and ingredients can be found in the mountains or bought in tents. It is also a good option to make and eat without having to wait in line in front of the restaurant.
“Neither I nor Sensei are sick with food…”
“Shouldn’t they have brought a packed lunch from the inn?”
Their cooking skills were rubbish. It’s been 3 years since I came to the Azul continent, but I didn’t know how to cook something edible.
“When I go back to Korea, I have to stop cooking academies first….”
Harmful effects of modern earthlings in the 21st century. These are the words of those who made dinner at convenience stores and frozen foods.
“The taste is there anyway… Please order from the menu that comes out the fastest.”
“okay!”
Kim Ho-jeong headed to the restaurant line. Kang Seung-hyun stood in the reward line and waited for his turn.
“Next minute!”
And how long did you wait? Kang Seung-hyun’s turn came.
“Here you go.”
Kang Seung-hyun held out the sack containing the mole’s body.
“Oh, did you catch a lot?”
“It took a long time to catch a lot.”
The employee looked at the sack with a surprised face. It was because Kang Seung-hyeon brought corpses dozens of times as many as the others.
“Did you catch all of this by yourself?”
“yes.”
“Three worlds.”
The staff muttered in disbelief. Actually, it was the two of us.
“Where… let’s see what kind of guy it is.”
The employee who was taking the body out of the sack said in admiration.
“Oh my God, to catch so many of these guys… it’s really amazing.”
“If there are a lot of iron moles, they are iron moles.”
The staff member said with a surprised face.
“yes? Oh, they look similar, but these guys are not iron moles.”
“sure?”
“The iron mole is this guy, and the one you caught is the steel mole.”
The employee showed me another mole carcass and said. When comparing the mole carcasses side by side, the claws of the mole caught by Kang Seung-hyun were much harder and sharper.
“The steel mole has a similar name and appearance, but it is much stronger than the iron mole.”
“Somehow, they seemed a bit stronger than usual…”
It turned out that they were actually strong guys, not an illusion. It’s just that I caught it so easily that I didn’t notice.
“To be able to knock these guys down without getting hurt…”
Steel moles surpass iron moles in all aspects, including strength, intelligence and speed. It would be difficult to defeat one or two steel moles without a single wound.
“Hey did you see that? I must have shot those nimble guys with arrows.”
“It’s not just one or two… How many of those are there?”
“That friend is no ordinary adventurer. He is a skilled player with at least 20 years of experience.”
“20 years? Then how old was he when he started working as an adventurer?”
Other employees who were moving and carrying the corpse also glanced at Kang Seung-hyun. It was because he had caught the most monsters in this base camp.
‘There’s a big difference in level.’
Originally, dimension movers were dozens and hundreds of times stronger than ordinary citizens of Azul. Kang Seung-hyun is overwhelmingly strong among those dimension movers, so it has no choice but to be like this.
‘If I hadn’t been a healer, I would have returned to Earth long ago.’
Maybe it was intentionally given a healer concept for a balance patch.
-“You can still receive rewards as long as you bring the corpse, so come back anytime.”
Kang Seung-hyun left the reward tent while being escorted by the Adventurers Guild staff.
‘I solved this one and what happened to the other side?’
Looking at the restaurant tent, the line was twice as long as before.
‘It’s too much.’
There are tables inside the tent, but there were too many people.
‘It seems impossible to eat inside.’
Most of the adventurers who actually ordered food were eating outside.
“Where is this old man?”
I was just looking for where Kim Ho-jung might be.
“Sir Kang! come here! I got a seat!”
I heard a familiar voice and looked around. Kim Ho-jeong had lit a bonfire and had settled down.
Kang Seung-hyun approached the campfire and sat down.
“What did you do?”
“Belloto hare stew.”
Bellotto A stew made by simmering rabbit meat and various vegetables. It is easy to make and the ingredients are easy to obtain, so it comes out the fastest when ordered. If you hit it in Korea, it’s a dish like gukbap.
“How does it taste?”
“It’s worth eating like that.”
Kim Ho-jeong held out a bowl of stew. It was kept hot by putting it next to a campfire so that it would not cool down.
“I deliberately asked for it to be spicy. Doesn’t it feel a bit spicy?”
“It’s a bit thicker than Maeuntang, so it feels like a stew.”
“Because of stew, I want to eat soybean paste stew. What do you like, sir?”
“Soft tofu stew.”
“Soft tofu stew is good! There was a restaurant near my house…”
Kim Ho-jung chatted with excitement. There is nothing more enjoyable than talking about hometown food in a strange land.
‘Although there are nice people here too.’
Because only Koreans can have a conversation like this.
‘It’s really fortunate that I wasn’t the only one dragged in.’
Kang Seung-hyeon muttered as he ate the stew. How annoyed I would have been if I had fallen alone in a place like this.
-Kang Seung-hyun took a break after eating. Now is the time to prepare for the night sweep.
“I will treat your wounds.”
“Ugh! Please! The blood has stopped.”
Kim Ho-jeong raised her arm. The arms were full of cuts from sharp objects. It’s all the work of the iron mole.
‘I’ve prepared the medicine.’
Seunghyun Kang took out the medicine from his inventory. I sterilized the wound thoroughly with an antiseptic and took out a skin wound regeneration ointment and applied it to the wound.
“The stew tastes amazing!”
It must have been quite bitter, but Kim Ho-jung just threw in the stew with a calm face.
‘Finally [determination of cure].’
When the wound wasn’t that deep like now, I could use [Cure Judgment] with simple treatment. As soon as I used the skill, I saw the wound healed.
“It is done.”
“As expected, Mr. Kang! There is no such thing as fire!”
Kim Ho-jung looked at the wound and shouted. Kang Seung-hyeon heard that and replied as if it was absurd.
“It is an honor to be called Hwatarani. By the way… does that mean Kim Ho-jung is Kwan-woo?”
“This is Guan Yu’s cousin.”
It’s kind of silly to compare yourself to someone who plays Go while getting hit by a poison arrow.
Seunghyun Kang took out a bandage and said.
“It must be a person from the neighboring country of a distant descendant of Guan Yu’s cousin’s eighth cousin’s neighbor’s cousin.”
“Then you’re just someone who has nothing to do with it?”
“of course.”
It was time to bandage Kim Ho-jung’s arm while talking about this and that.
“He’s wearing bandages.”
“If I used something like a bandage, it would get tattered, so I don’t know why.”
A few adventurers passing nearby laughed at this. There were also a few healers among them.
As they say, bandages quickly become tattered after a few battles. In the first place, there was no need to use bandages if you were using heals, so bandages were also an item that symbolized adventurers who did not have the money to use heals.
“I’d rather get a heel.”
“What can I do? Kids who don’t have money should use that at least.”
They are very common and typical hill all-rounders. It is so common that it is indistinguishable from stones rolling on the road.
“Things that aren’t cheap…!”
“Leave it.”
Kim Ho-jung was furious and tried to say something, but Kang Seung-hyun stopped him.
“Isn’t Mr. Kang even angry?”
“I can’t do this if I get angry with those guys one by one.”
Seunghyun Kang said with a smile. If you get angry at each one of these things, you will die of high blood pressure.
“They don’t even know your skills… what a great healer you are!”
“So you have to time it.”
“timing?”
Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth to prevent an old acquaintance from dying from high blood pressure.
‘There is no need to uselessly show off your skills.’
Kang Seung-hyeon’s survival philosophy with 3 years of experience as a wild healer 9He knows better than anyone how to feed unlucky people.
“Can you see the sky? It is now night after the late evening.”
“Uh… it’s almost midnight. It’s already over me.”
There is a saying that the sun sets early in the mountains. While the two were eating dinner, the sky turned black.
“Now it’s time for the wild and powerful night monsters to be active…”
All the adventurers who didn’t return to camp would have encountered the night monsters.
“If you wait a little bit, the patients will come.”
As expected, the adventurers who were seriously injured in comparison to the evening time returned to the camp.
“healer! Looking for a healer!”
“Please treat me here!”
“Healer is here!”
Waiting healers approached the wounded. Most of them can be healed with heals, but
“there’s always one that the healer can’t help.”
Aiming at the timing means that.
Survival Philosophy 10
‘But if the moment comes to show off one’s skills, one must show it clearly.’
This is because a wild healer who treats the 101st patient he could not treat looks more amazing than a healer who treats 100 patients.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
A shrieking sound came from somewhere.
“Teacher over there!”
Seunghyun Kang turned his head in the direction of the sound. I was able to find one adventurer who seemed to be in very bad condition. He was being healed by a healer when he suddenly screamed in pain.
“The wound is definitely healing, but why are you doing this!”
“Stop heeling for now!”
Healer stopped heeling in embarrassment.
It should be normal if the pain goes away when you get healed. The adventurer was in pain as if the pain had gotten worse.
“That one! Aren’t you a patient who can’t heal?”
“yes. This is the patient I have been waiting for.”
Seunghyun Kang rose from his seat. If the healer doesn’t do its job, the healer becomes useless.
“excuse me.”
“who…?”
“Can I see the patient?”
That means it’s time for a wild healer to step out.
