Chapter 886 – 886. Hero Academy (6)
Yeriel and the unidentified cloaked man.
The group led by the two accompanied each other for a while, even though they exchanged business.
It was because they decided that it was good for each other to accompany them to get out of the dungeon, even if they exchanged all the business.
However, the time of companionship did not last long.
On the second day, the cloak man called Yeriel to her secluded place and said.
“We’d better break up here.”
“… Okay.”
Yeriel nodded her head with a firm expression at the man’s words.
The man’s notice was unfortunate, but his position was understandable.
The search party, which had been together for the second day, finally got in touch with the staff at the entrance.
Being in contact with the entrance side crew means that you can guess the direction of the entrance, and it was said that sooner or later you will be able to get out of this dungeon through the entrance.
Naturally, the entrance was not a place where the man in the cloak could freely enter and exit.
Yeriel asked her question calmly, just in case she wanted to.
“Are there any problems with the exits you guys used?”
“Well, it won’t be.”
Yeriel sighed at Cloak Nam’s carefree answer and opened her mouth.
“If there is a problem with the exit, come to the entrance we use. I will write a hand so you can get out.”
“There is no need for that.”
“That is something no one knows. Even if you tell me not to, I will do it. If there is a problem, use it.”
The man who heard Yeriel’s answer smiled and said,
“I don’t need it, but for now, I’ll just accept it.”
“…”
After the conversation was over, the man in the cloak lowered his voice and spoke to Yeriel.
“Do you still have the item I gave you?”
“Of course.”
Yeriel pulled something out of her pocket and showed it to her parents as if she were showing her parents a pretty stone she had picked up outside.
The man in the cloak smiled at Yeriel’s appearance, took out a bag made of beige cloth from his cloak, and handed it to Yeriel.
The bag was roughly the size of a watermelon, and was shaded as if it were full of round objects inside.
“Receive.”
Cloak Nam handed the bundle to Yeriel, and Yeriel hurriedly took her bundle and held it in her arms.
“What’s this?”
“An object that blocks the interference of mana.”
“Ah!?”
Yeriel recalled the jewel Seong Su-ah showed her before.
An item that temporarily disables Mana’s disruptive ability.
He already knew that he had received the jewel from the man in the cloak.
Yeriel immediately began to check the inside of the bundle.
Inside was a lot of egg-shaped jewels.
And this time, there was one USB.
Yeriel took out the USB and asked the man in the cloak.
“What’s this?”
“How to make that thing.”
“!?”
Yeriel received the mana out of control cubic given to him by the man in the cloak, but on the other hand, her uneasiness did not disappear.
Knowing a problem and solving it were two different things.
Even if she took this cubic and started researching it, she might not be able to find an answer due to the technical limitations of the tower.
But this solved everything.
“Then let’s break up here.”
“…”
It was all thanks to this man.
Yeriel has never had such great help in her life except for one.
One of them was his own father.
The man’s back was completely different from his father’s in the past, but the atmosphere was exactly the same.
Yeriel looked at the man’s back and nodded… No, she bent over.
“Thank you so much.”
“…”
Cloak Nam turned behind her for a moment and glanced at Yeriel, then she looked right in front of her and opened her mouth.
“You worked hard to give me an opportunity, so I hope you don’t waste it.”
The man in the cloak said so and left.
It was an action that could have seemed like ignoring Yeriel’s gratitude, but Yeriel, who was in charge of her, was able to realize right away.
“…”
The fact that she pretended not to see her bending over and took care of her…
Yeriel stretched her back like that and she checked where the man had left.
“Well, then… Shall we go?”
Yeriel took the man’s words to heart and started to leave the dungeon again with the search party.
..
..
The world had changed a lot between entering and exiting the dungeon.
First of all, one of the big incidents is that large broadcasting stations were attacked by monster creatures.
That alone was a surprising event, but what was even more surprising was what happened after that.
It was the fact that the reporters who had been writing hostile articles to the Tower suddenly started spreading friendly articles, even if it was just their mouths.
Even after the successful rescue operation of the advance party, the reporters poured out articles praising Yeriel.
However, there was no law that everything in the world was going in a good direction.
While Yeriel entered the dungeon and carried out a rescue operation, Patriarch Shin Seok-kwon announced a bomb.
That’s right…
(Our church has found a way to defeat those monsters.)
It was the way to deal with monster creatures.
A monstrous creature of unknown origin.
(The method is… Canceling the status abnormality.)
It was an announcement that the monster creature could be easily dealt with with [Release Status Abnormality] By the healers.
A monstrous creature that appeared while suddenly increasing its population.
Monsters were clearly a threat.
However, unlike in the past, as the hero system was established and security was stabilized, monsters and monsters became difficult to see except in dungeons.
However, the strange creature ignored such an environment and attacked a facility in the middle of the city, such as a consulate or a broadcasting station.
The prestige of the church is already strong.
(Our church will take responsibility for the safety of citizens!)
If Shin Seok-kwon’s words are true, the tower and the large guild… Even under it, medium and small guilds will have a bloody fight.
However, Yeriel did not show much expression even while watching the video of Shin Seok-kwon’s explosive remarks.
Just…
“… Is this true?”
Looking at the laptop lying on the desk, he just put on a look of astonishment.
The USB that the man in the cloak gave me was plugged into the laptop, and inside the USB…
“All of this… The church did it?”
There was a lot of information that was presumed to be the evil committed by the church.
Yeriel looked at the image of Shin Seok-kwon on the TV in her office.
(Our church will overcome this crisis by working together with the Tower, the three major guilds, and all guilds.)
Shin Seok-kwon gives a speech with a subtle smile that seems to be bewitching.
Even Yeriel had never thought that she was such a good person.
She used to growl and check her sometimes when we met, but since she’s a competitor, she just thought it was that way.
But…
“Did I see the world too easily…”
It was as if Yeriel had opened Pandora’s box.
Yariel continued to skim the information her mantle gave her, listening to the voice of her god-sovereign.
And the more I read, the more the anxiety inside of Yeriel began to grow.
There is only one reason why she is anxious…
“If this is known… For a while… No, it may be in an unrecoverable state.”
It was just chaos.
The church was a huge guild that affected not only Korea but also the whole world.
By the standards of other guilds, the church had the ability to easily cover big problems.
But if it was Yeriel who broke the problem, and if the evidence the man in the cape handed over… She was sure she would never be able to cover the world’s cults.
“Crime of civil war, crime of foreign exchange… The moment it is confirmed, the death penalty will be lined up.”
And if the information the man in the cloak gave is accurate, and if the church is really an organization that commits such evil…
“There’s no way I’ll ever get caught quietly. I will make one final push.”
He was more likely to choose self-destruction.
It would be fortunate if only Shin Seok-gwon committed evil deeds, but based on the current information, most of the high-ranking officials in the church were at the level where they deserved the death penalty.
After checking all of her data, Yeriel sighed as she lowered her laptop screen.
“Haaa… This… Is it real?”
It would not be difficult to verify the truth of the information the man in the cloak gave.
The difficulty itself was different between doing a background investigation based on speculation and doing a background investigation with information already secured.
As for checking the truth, even if it started with a small thread-like information, it was able to weave it in an instant like making cotton with a loom.
But even though she didn’t do such a background investigation, Yeriel was already…
“… That’s right.”
He was confident that the information would be accurate.
That much was because she trusted the mantle.
Yeriel calmly looked up at the ceiling and suddenly came to her senses at the sound of Shin Seok-kwon’s voice in her ears.
(The Church will exist only for your safety, and will strive for peace. Then stop…)
Shin Seok-kwon ended the press conference with those words.
After that, a debate program was held on TV, and heated discussions about what Shin Seok-kwon said came and went.
Most of them were positive about the church, and negative about the tower and the 3 major guilds.
It was a situation that had no choice but to be.
The damage and danger caused by the strange creatures made even the heroes feel a sense of crisis.
In such a situation, the church came up with an easy solution.
And that’s a solution that only the Church can use…
Yeriel continued to sigh as she watched TV.
“What do we do? It’s too dangerous to explode all of this right now.”
Yeriel also thought of checking the truth of her information and attacking her.
However, even if she confirmed the facts, there were a lot of problems.
“Government… The other side is obviously involved as well. There’s no way I could have just buried that much money in the ground.”
Yeriel closed her eyes and began to sink into her troubles.
Even Yeriel, who prides herself on having gone through countless hardships and hardships, has never been as worried as she is today.
Is she in danger? She fights with all her might and that’s it.
Is her colleague in danger? It’s enough to jump in without thinking ahead.
It was Yeriel who was confident that she would step out of her way if she could only sacrifice herself.
But now, it was clear to me that this problem would not end with a single sacrifice.
“… You will see a real sea of blood right in front of you.”
Yeriel leaned back in her chair, turned her head to the ceiling, and closed her eyes.
She couldn’t come to a conclusion.
Clearly, the evil deeds of the church must be known to the world.
However, as soon as it is known, those who committed evil will throw the world into chaos.
“Is it okay for me to decide that?”
The moment when Yeriel is about to fall asleep while worrying so much…
(You gave me the opportunity through hard work, so please don’t waste it.)
“Wow!?”
The man’s voice brought Yeriel to her senses.
After she came to her senses, Yeriel looked around her, and around her… There was no one.
“… What am I thinking?”
Yeriel could feel her mind clearing thanks to her brief drowsiness and the hallucination of her voice.
“You cannot make the world hell just because you are afraid of sacrifice.”
Saying that, Yeriel looked at the bracelet on her wrist.
A serpentine pattern was engraved on her gold bracelet, and a red ruby was set in the eyes of the serpent.
A bracelet with the ability to manipulate people.
Yariel stared at her bracelet, she exclaimed.
“If it’s for people’s safety, it’s no longer a situation where we have to resort to means and methods!”
After Yeriel shouted, she grabbed the doorknob and turned it to get out of her office.
At that moment, Yeriel remembered holding his hand while being held in the arms of the man in the cloak.
And she smiled.
‘When this is over, I’ll go to pay back everything I ate, so wait…’
***
I opened my eyes and smiled.
‘Whew… I’m glad.’
The information I gave seemed like it would put a lot of pressure on Yeriel.
The moment it is known to the world, for a while… No, it was dangerous information to the extent that one had to prepare for lifelong anarchy.
And if she was Yeriel, she wondered if she would handle it as quietly as possible, not for her own comfort but for the comfort of the general public.
So she secretly checked her condition by spirit state.
However, she could be relieved to see Yeriel’s determination.
“It will take time to prepare, but it will explode.”
Yeriel seemed to think she was going to explode after putting in as many safeguards as she could.
And she wasn’t going to leave that safeguard in place for her, Yeriel alone.
‘I’m going to sneak into the church and keep looking for information.’
I intended to help Yeriel as much as I could within the scope of my ability.
‘I’m glad things worked out better than expected.’
She rescued Yeriel and Seongsuah from crisis, and further informed Yeriel of all the evil deeds of her church.
On top of all that, I even handed her her hidden card that could solve all of her problems.
‘If I use a bracelet, it will be an easy solution.’
The [Osiris Bracelet] Given to Yeriel.
Originally, it was in the form of a staff, but it was combined with an ordinary bracelet and alchemy.
And the reason for merging…
‘I made it a bit smaller, but I’m glad it fits perfectly.’
It was made for Yeriel.
[Even if you use a bracelet, it is expected that it will take a little longer.]
‘I think so too. I have to figure out the authenticity of the information I gave you, and safety is just as important.’
Once this case was well done.
Organizations related to the church were also almost destroyed, and Seongsuah and Yeriel were safely saved.
All that’s left is…
“Have you waited long? Do you want to be compensated soon?”
“… I get it.”
It was my turn to finalize the deal with Leila in front of me.
