SSS - Class Suicide Hunter
Chapter 12's
“A, this is a bit bad but .. please log in.”
The pharmacist dragged his feet. The shop was a mess like a tornado that passed through it.
“It's really bad but..”
He's not exaggerating.
There were broken glass bottles all over the floor. The shelves were on their backs, and all the books had fallen. Dust flying around is a bonus.
It was an accident.
- Wow.
Bae Hu-ryeong exclaimed.
– When I was alive, I often heard that I was untidy, but this was way above my level. Her cleanliness must be trustworthy. Hey, do you really want to eat the potion this woman made?
“Um. Are you really going to order 20,000 items worth of Gold from me…? ”
Bae Hu-ryeong and the pharmacist asked me at the same time, as they planned.
I smiled bitterly.
“If you don't believe, should I pay in advance?”
“Y, You don't need to do that..”.
He waved his hand and stopped.
“...No. In fact, if possible, prepayment only. ”
His face was completely red. He was ashamed of himself for saying this. But this is how bad the situation is.
“Take as much as you need from my safe. I'll tell Sangryun beforehand. ”
“As much as I need..”.
He mumbled empty.
“Iya. But my wealth is unlimited. I'll thank you if you keep it under 20,000 Gold. ”
“A, What kind of medicine are you.?”
Is he scared because of the amount of money? He was happy, but also looked anxious at the same time.
“I'm sorry, but I can't make drugs. Because of my belief, make drugs it really.. If you come to order drugs, I, I will refuse.. ”.
Oho.
I thought to myself.
‘He's someone who fits Alchemy Master's degree well.’
Not many people could resist the thousands of Gold that existed right in front of them. Especially if they go bankrupt. But he emphatically said he would not make medicine.
This apothecary looks weak on the outside but is actually quite strong on the inside.
“Haa. They are definitely not drugs, so don't worry. ”
“Ah...t, that's a relief. Specifically, what drug are you looking for? ”
“Mm.”
I looked to Bae Hu-ryeong. His mouth had been closed ever since we entered the store as if he did not like something. He sighed after looking at me.
– Haa. Alright. He doesn't look like a skilled kid, but I'll tell you the recipe.
He should have said it earlier if he was going to come out like this.
– Listen. Pig rabbit liver and balloon cat eyes, and desert worms are out. ”.
“I'll tell you from now on. Pig rabbit liver, balloon cat eyes, and .. ”
I delivered Bae Hu-ryeong's recipe to her.
“Ah. Please wait a minute! Me, I'll write it down! ”
He frantically wrote it. There are 23 different materials. As the recipe grew longer, his face became more serious.
– Well. That's enough for the recipe. The way it is made depends on the skill of the pharmacist.
“This is enough for the recipe.”
“…”
He silently looked at his notebook, biting the back of his hand.
“If this is combined..it is something that improves reflexes. Not something that relaxes, but stimulates. No, I think it's more of a resurrection. ”
– Hah?
Bae Hu-ryeong looked at the apothecary.
The pharmacist continued to speak.
“It's a very complex combination. Ah, that might be my fault.but you want this to be made not with dry or frozen ingredients, but with the freshest ingredients, right? ”
– Yes, it is true but…
I nodded my head.
“It's true.”
“I know that! Usually, there is little venom in a desert worm's nest. One way to reduce this effect is to use rabbit hearts, but this should be…!
He excitedly spoke. The stuttering woman in front of me disappeared, and was replaced with a chat box. Yep. There are people like this in the world.
‘The method is wrong, but he is a skilled person.’
Someone who addresses a topic they like at full speed and achieves outstanding results. I don't like experts like this.
“How many more days can you set it up?”
“Ah.”
The seemingly endless conversation was interrupted. He blinked like he was attracting attention. It seemed like he had fallen into his own world when he spoke.
“M, sorry! I saw a beautiful combination like this for the first time after such a long time and…! ”
“It's okay. So how long does it take? ”
“If the money is enough..I, I can prepare it in 4 days. Usually I can give it to you faster, but I have to get a new tool.. ”.
4 day.
I can wait that long.
Before I regressed, it took me about 1 year to be able to get the medicine from this person.4 days was nothing compared to that.
– Hey. I still can't agree.
Bae Hu-ryeong continued to complain as we left the store.
there are a lot of people who only know how to talk like experts. People like that end up being drug dealers. Ugh. We're going to waste money!
“So, where did you learn that recipe?”
this is a combination I made myself. The best elixir I made after drinking countless poisons myself. It's a precious potion that you can't drink in your world even if you want to!
I grinned.
The pharmacist said it was a high-level combination.
-…
“He can tell the true value with just one glance, so trust him. Even if he looked like that now, he would be at the top of the Alchemy Castle 10 years later. ”
Bae Hu-ryeong closed her mouth.
you just cursed me in your mind, huh?
“This ghost is trying to hurt innocent people now.”
I pretended not to know what he was talking about. He was too fast for his own good.
4 Days passed quickly.
During that time, the pharmacist continued to take money from my safe. Someone came from Sangryung to ask if it was really okay, but I told them to let it go. Even if it was expensive, if it was for a medicine made by the Lord of Alchemy Castle, it was nothing.
– Zombie. Wanna bet?
“Yeah, this time what.”
– The woman will run away with her money. I guarantee that. I don't know about anything else, but my eyes can see what kind of person someone is. She looks like a thief from birth. Quickly commit suicide. A zombie! Kill yourself 4 times and go back 4 days ago!
Obviously, the ghost could not read people.
At lunch time on the 4th day.
The pharmacist came to my room carrying the elixir himself.
“S, sorry. I want to give it faster, but it takes longer than I thought... ”“Nothing. You said you'd make it in 4 days. That's good.”
The pharmacist bought 3 boxes of elixir.
If I drink it 3 times a day, it will last for 30 days.
If we go to the store that Bae Hu-ryeong wants to visit, we will only get 2 days. This increased 15-fold.
This is how you should spend money.
I unconsciously smiled.
“Um..”
“Iya?”
“A, I know it's weird to ask this now. But why did you leave that expensive order to me? ”
He turned his fingers.
“O, of course, I'm confident. Looking at the recipe, I think there are only about 2 people in Babylon who can make this. ”
“Hm.”
The reason why I gave it to this guy.
That was because this person was the genius of the century. The guild master of the Alchemy Castle. I have calculated to have a relationship with a person who will grow into the ruler of a great clan someday.
Yet.
‘It's not all.’
Earlier I retreated to 4000 the day before.
When the Fire Emperor had burned the slums. At that moment, someone had arrived before anyone else controlled the flames even though he was one of the higher-ups. Helping people, the Lord of Alchemy Castle muttered.
that Fire Emperor, I don't like him.
he gave me a bad vibe or something. Talking about someone behind here is not good, but I still think Saintess can meet someone better.
Someone who had seen the true nature of the Flame Emperor.
“She may have just guessed it with her common sense without proof.”
Even if that was the case, he had an amazing ability in reading people.
He is skilled, good enough to run immediately to help people in danger, and can read psychopaths. Wouldn't it be a waste not to get close to someone like this?
I opened my mouth.
“Because you look good.”
“What?”
“I'm helping you because you look good. Well, you'll probably be great even if I don't help you. But shouldn't good hunters like us have to help each other grow? ”
“…”
“We can't let a psychopath be the only one who succeeds. That's not fair. The shop owner-nim and I have to work harder. ”
I said exactly what I felt without lying. I can't be more honest than this. Now, it depends on how others accept my words. He looked at my face and spoke.
“...I saw. Ja. Because we have to succeed first to change the world. ”
That's the prescribed tone.
“Thank you, customer-nim! Like you said, I will work harder too! ”
Fists clenched.
“If you have something else to order, contact me! I'll always prioritize your orders! ”
I'll be grateful for that.
Kami berdua saling tersenyum dan berbalik.
Sayangnya, senyum saya tidak bertahan lama.
- ohno. I have never seen a hunter who called himself good in a while. And I've never seen anyone accept it that way. Hey, are you guys crazy? Ck ck. You're not sane.
“... I know I said something embarrassing so let's start practicing.”
Next day.
We're heading to the hunting ground. I carry a sleeping bag and a lot of potions in my backpack.
If there was something different than usual, it was that I was at the hunting grounds on the 3rd floor and not on the 2nd floor.
There are many monsters that are still too difficult for me to deal with. Orcs and hordes of goblins roam. I saw them from far away.
“What should I do from now on?”
- Drink your potion first.
I nodded my head.
I gulped down the potion that was the glass I brought without hesitation.
“Mm.”
It feels ordinary itself.
It tastes good, as honey and lemon are added to it.
When I thought it was a relief because it tasted good.
“Hm....?!”
Thumped.
My heart beats faster than usual.
At first, I thought I was hallucinating, but I wasn't. Sweat dripped down my back. The most interesting fact was. I could feel every drop of sweat on my back clearly.
‘What is this?’
Thumped.
Not just sweat. The touch of air in my fingers and the feeling of the ground I stepped on. When I blink, it feels like 30 seconds.
“This is..”.
- Effect of panacea.
Only Bae Hu-ryeong's voice felt the same way between everything that felt different.
it slows down what you feel. It's easy if you think that it extends your time. I don't want to admit it, but the woman is quite good at making potions.
That was so horrible.
I could feel every strand of hair moving in my body. I could even feel the blood vessels in my ears twitching. If I didn't know, I would think that I drank poison, and not potions.
can't you feel it?
“What are you talking about?”
- Things that move in your heart.
Thumped.
There's something there. No, something's flowing. And it's not blood.
It was softer and more fragile than blood. But it must have flowed all over my body. It slowly spread from my heart. Something I've never felt before.
- It's Auror.
Bae Hu-ryeong spoke.
all the hunters in the Tower had Aurors on their bodies. They just live without realizing it. How much you can feel this Auror and control it is what determines victory.
Bae Hu-ryeong laughed.
The laughter lasted for 20 seconds. It might be a second, but somehow, to me it feels like 20 seconds.
I felt tired, like I would fall if I let go.
- Usually, you get used to this feeling by practicing yourself secretly.
In it. Something big is approaching.
but it will take too long.
Explosions.
Foot step.
Even the footsteps felt long to me. As I raised my head to take a look, a huge orc was heading towards me.
a body without talent like yours should suffer a little.
It's cursed.
- Alright! If you don't want to get hurt, use your Auror, Kim Zombie! You have to practice with real things! After all you're not going to kick the bucket, so what if you get a little hurt.
“This... ghost... really..!”.
-hm? I can't hear what you're saying because you're a loser who can't even use the Auror.
He laughed again.
– Are you sad? Suicide if you don't like it. Oh, then your kill count increased from 4000. Then Marcus' grandfather will hunt you down continuously, huh?
Uh.
My partner is a really bad bastard.
