Chapter 848 – 848. Hero Academy (6)
After the warp light had been withdrawn, the scene that came to my eyes was a dark, gloomy room.
“I need to put some lights on. It’s where Hanna and Lena often hang out, but it’s too dark.”
The place I moved to the warp was Gi Cheol-ho’s secret base in the basement of Seoga Mansion.
This is where Kang Han-na and Lena are staying in order to extract information about Gi-cheol-ho… It felt too gloomy for a woman to be with.
There were only a few shallow orange lights, and monsters around it were sleeping in glass tubes, giving off a bizarre look.
The one who responded to my self-talk was none other than Armonia.
[The two don’t seem to care, so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.]
‘But… I think it would look even more bizarre with lights on.’
When the light is stepped on, the appearance of the monster creatures naturally trapped around will be much clearer.
In a way, I thought this atmosphere could have been much better.
“What… You can cover it with a tent later and install lights.”
I thought so and slowly entered the secret base.
When I was in front of the room with two people, two people came out of the room just in time to greet me.
“Here you are.”
“Are you here? Master.”
It was Kang Han Na and Lena.
And as soon as the two of them left the room, they tried to close the door.
After a while, a sound came through the crack in the door.
“Buy… Consideration…”
But that was it.
Kang Han-na and Lena caught the sound and both slammed the door shut at the same time.
Bang!
“…”
“…”
“…”
In the sudden situation, all three remained silent, and Kang Han-na and Lena opened their mouths in a trembling voice.
“Even if you pay attention, you won’t listen. I’ll have to come back later and train again.”
“I think that would be good.”
“…”
What happened inside?
Maybe I’ll never know
After such an awkward situation unfolded, Kang Han Na and Lena took me to a room where we could have a calm conversation.
As soon as I entered the room, Kang Han-na began to tell me the information she had learned so far.
“Ki Cheol-ho was negotiating with the church.”
“What is your purpose?”
Strong at my question, I responded by extending her index finger upwards.
“Stack.”
I was roughly guessing.
There was no way he would have targeted Seo Ji-eun for no reason.
“Ki Cheol-ho is paying a huge amount of support to the church with the authority of Seoji’s deacon. And in return… I was given a drug that could make the monsters out there.”
“Is that all?”
“There are more.”
Kang Han Na carefully placed something on the table.
She was a cubic too small to be seen with the naked eye.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a machine that obstructs the flow of mana.”
“Ah…”
As soon as she heard the strong me, she had a character that immediately came to mind.
“Is this the reason why the author couldn’t use magic?”
Strong I answered with a nod of her head as soon as I heard my words.
“That’s right. It looks like this was secretly attached to Seo Ji-eun’s cadet uniform. And of course… It seems that this was also received from the church.”
“…”
I touched the cubic and examined her appearance.
The transparent cubic is about 2mm in size, and it was difficult to tell if it was there unless you looked closely.
“The flow of mana is disturbed with such a small thing…”
“I said it was still in the testing phase because of the side effects that also affect recovery magic. But do you feel it? If the Church completes this object…”
“The age of wizards will end.”
The death of the mage was also the story of the tower collapsing.
The first thing that came to mind was Yeriel, the head of the tower.
Even Yeriel, the head of the tower, did not notice the cubic on Seo Ji-eun’s school uniform.
If the church completes the cubic and officially uses it… If not, all the wizards in this world will disappear.
There was a high possibility that it would die in an instant rather than slowly disappearing.
“There’s no way the church that makes something like this will wait patiently.”
A monstrous creature and a mana disturbance cubic.
There’s no way the guys who make these things did it with good intentions.
Kang Han Na nodded her head as if agreeing with me.
“For now, the goal will be to knock down the tower. If the tower collapses, other large guilds will naturally fall as well.”
“Whoa… You’ve had a hard time.”
I stood up after giving Kang Han Na and Lena encouragement.
“From now on, I’ll have to find out as much as I can about the Order.”
After hearing my words, Kang Han Na and Lena asked me with a puzzled expression.
“How are you going to get in? You know you can’t enter the spirit state, right?”
“And the security is great, so you won’t be able to break through it easily even with stealth.”
As Kang Han-na and Lena said, it was impossible to sneak in with my pure skills.
But I had one way.
“Because there is a way. Don’t worry.”
I said with a smile.
‘Armonia. Call me.’
[All right.]
At the same time as Armonia answered, a rainbow-colored column was created in the room.
And after the light is withdrawn…
“Suho~ I’m here~”
Viola appeared.
..
..
There were two ways I could sneak into the church.
One was a soul, one was stealth.
The state of the soul is invisible to the eyes of the people around, but it was impossible to enter the church.
For reference, Ki Cheol-ho’s secret base was the same.
It was probably because there was something preventing the monster-creating drug from accessing the soul.
That part was currently being researched by Kang Han Na.
The next method is stealth.
However, even stealth was not an attempt in the end.
It was because hiding was only to be less likely to be recognized by others, not to become invisible.
If it was a large group like the church, there would be plenty of guards who were excellent at detecting stealth.
No matter how careful I was, I wouldn’t be able to avoid the eyes of those guards.
In other words, I concluded that I could not completely infiltrate the church with my abilities.
So that’s what I came up with…
‘Hey… Ether is good too. Like cloaking, completely conceal it.’
It was the ether that Viola had.
Unlike my stealth, Viola’s ether had the ability to hide like an invisible person and even completely erase the presence of people.
If it wasn’t for monsters like Cho Kang-hyeon or the dean, he judged that he would probably not be caught.
By the way, the first place we warped to was the lodging where I was staying when I went on a field trip to the church.
‘I didn’t expect my previous visits to be so helpful.’
Thinking so, I warped to the church with Viola and started infiltrating together.
‘Good. As expected, I don’t notice this.’
As I expected, the invisible shield of ether was not caught in the sight of the guards.
However, with the help of Viola, another problem could be found in the church they infiltrated.
‘As expected, they are thoroughly guarded.’
The security system was in operation to prevent outsiders from entering and leaving without permission.
In fact, I had already expected it before I infiltrated it.
There’s no way I, who is in charge of guarding the consulate, would have overlooked that fact in the first place…
Even though I knew it, the reason I stopped by today was not to dig into the inside at once.
‘First, let’s search the security room step by step. Viola, come this way.’
[Yes~]
It was to check the outside step by step and figure out a way to get inside.
Once you can take one step inside, the next time you can easily enter the warp, it won’t be difficult.
I took Viola and headed to the guard room outside the church.
The church security room was larger than expected, and people were coming in and out even at night.
There was security in the guard room itself, but it was not difficult to get in by taking advantage of a few guards coming in and out.
After searching through the security room, I was able to understand the basic security system.
‘It’s not fingerprint or eye recognition, it’s card recognition…’
It was the fact that each of them had a security card, and only with it they could enter important facilities.
To put it simply, the employee ID card was a security card.
But here was another problem.
Stealing the card seemed to solve everything, but the situation was not so easy.
‘The entry and exit records remain perfect… If that’s the case, stealing it would be a problem.’
Even if they stole the guards’ cards and entered, it was a problem after that.
There is no way that the guards guarding from the outside can enter the important facilities inside.
If there are traces of someone coming in and out with a stolen card, they will look at the CCTV, decide that something is wrong, change the security method and strengthen the vigilance.
I had to get inside, somehow making it unsuspecting.
‘It’s a little annoying, but I guess I have no choice but to sneak in when the other guy enters.’
It was the moment I was about to adopt such a troublesome method.
“Hey, move quickly!”
“!?”
Suddenly, I heard a shout and involuntarily turned around to prepare for a fight.
However, the person who shouted continued to shout regardless of my appearance.
“Didn’t you know that today is the day Archbishop Chin Ho-yeon is going home!? Do you want to be scolded again for not seeing me off like last time!?”
“Ji, I’ll go right now!”
“Move quickly!!”
Fortunately, Viola and I weren’t caught.
The guards were moving riotously, even in the middle of the night.
‘Archbishop Jin Ho-yeon?’
[He is one of the high-ranking members of the church.]
The church had four archbishops under him, led by the patriarch Shin Seok-gwon.
And Archbishop Chin Ho-yeon was one of them.
‘So you’re saying that he’s a guy who knows how well he’s doing?’
[It will be.]
‘Good! Viola, let’s go!’
I smiled as I chased after the scurrying guards like a viola.
‘It would be much better to dig behind that archbishop than to sneak in.’
..
..
Archbishop Chin Ho-yeon leisurely left the church in a luxurious vehicle, befitting his location.
Viola and I quickly started chasing after Jin Ho-yeon’s car.
No matter how fast the car was, it could not reach the speed of the ether.
By the time we chased Jin Ho-yeon’s car for about an hour…
‘And… The house is fucking big.’
I was able to witness entering a huge mansion that was unbelievable for a religious person.
‘Is this your house?’
[Not only the Patriarch, but also the residence of the Archbishops is not known information.]
But… It’s strange that information about the residence of such an important person is going around here and there.
‘It’ll be right for now.’
Thinking so, I sneaked in with Viola.
Jin Ho-yeon’s mansion was as tightly guarded as that of the religious or Seojia.
However, the basic level of security was weaker than that of the church, so it was not difficult to infiltrate.
And the first place I arrived after sneaking in was…
“Big uh… It tastes good!”
It was Jin Ho-yeon’s room.
“Khaaa… This is paradise.”
He had already changed into comfy clothes and was drinking and drinking.
“I can’t drink anything because the Patriarch has been paying attention to me… Gulp, gulp… “
Jin Ho-yeon was a man who looked to be in his early 50s.
His body type was voluptuous, as if he liked to drink.
From the street, he was just an ordinary middle-aged man, nothing less and nothing more.
‘Hmm… There’s no reason for me to watch a guy drink alcohol. Shall we sleep right now and sleep?’
It was a moment when I was thinking about how to grill and boil Jinhoyeon.
However, after hearing Jin Ho-yeon’s words, I had no choice but to postpone the chim-mong plan.
“The Serpent Underground… I raised them at best, but it’s not enough that they stupidly failed their mission, so they all run away? I’ll have the other guys take care of it quickly.”
Venomous Snake Underground… ?
I thought over the words Jin Ho-yeon had uttered in my mind, and suddenly a person passed through his mind.
‘The Viper Underground… Erica… Moon Joo… ?’
