‘Did you think I was going to fall for that?’
That hurt my pride.
I took the slingshot out of the inventory and blew it off with mana.
Puck!
The shadow, who was shot, was pinned to the wall.
I intentionally controlled my mana roughly, but it was more powerful than I thought.
I didn’t even feel guilty about shooting a slingshot at a person.
‘Cause that’s not a person.’
As I thought, the shadow was torn down.
At the same time, I saw something escaping from Felix’s eyes.
The energy that the unbeliever injected into Felix has escaped.
“Violet, are you watching? Come quickly.”
“Yes! Ms. Banker!”
Violet answered loudly from behind the mirror as she spoke with a communication mirror.
“What is this……”
I tapped Felix on the shoulder, who was embarrassed.
“Felix, I’m here to save you.”
“What?”
“I thought you were taken away by unbelievers.”
“How did you know that?”
Felix’s eyes shook.
The first time I suspected is because Felix was at the palace.
‘A missing person is in the palace without people knowing?’
Felix was arrogant and had a personality that turned his eyes upside down once he was angry, but he wasn’t short-sighted.
“Why are you doing something dangerous when you can’t afford to take care of your own body?”
Felix’s track record became suspicious the more I watched.
He moved from palace to palace.
Nevertheless, there was no word that Felix appeared at the palace.
“Is he moving through a secret passageway?”
Watching Felix’s behavior made me question it.
Staying within the secret passage.
‘It’s like he’s a person whose life is being threatened.’
Come to think of it, it was plausible.
‘Felix has lived in the palace all his life. Of course he knows the secret passage.’
It made sense to assume that he hid in a secret passageway due to a crisis.
Then who’s going to………?
Felix hovered near the Imperial Palace.
At first glance, it was easy to say that the empress was the culprit.
‘Because the Empress’ blood was taken for the pills given to Felix.’
However, it was designed to make it too easy to suspect the empress as the culprit.
‘I need to meet Felix first.’
I wanted to help Felix, but the conditions were tricky.
‘I can’t step up.’
Felix would have great antipathy towards me for bringing Calix.
So I brought Violet.
However, Felix was a bit strange when he came across me.
As if he was someone else, his behavior was completely different.
‘The system also gave Felix a biased notification.’
The notification window was not dedicated to Felix, but a notification was sent to me whenever his feelings changed.
The most decisive hint was the altar in the secret passage of the palace.
The only forces large enough to influence the royal palace were the unbelievers.
‘No, why is he so scared of them all of a sudden?’
As I have said over and over again, my dream is to become an unemployed chaebol.
‘The saint should take care of the unbelievers. It’s not my job.’
But there was already an unbeliever in front of me.
‘If I get this wrong, I’m risking my life.’
But…………….
‘I can’t ignore quests.’
I grinned.
‘I’m going to finish the quest quickly.’
I vaguely guess that the people who kidnapped Leonhardt were unbelievers.
“The people who kidnapped Leonhardt are unbelievers.”
I stated the answer to solve the quest, but I didn’t get any notifications.
No matter how much I muttered to myself, it was the same.
There was only one reason why the quest was not completed.
‘I have to hear the answer directly from the unbelievers.’
No wonder they gave me 100 fate energy.
However, all those involved in Hope for the Poor were already dead, so an answer could not be obtained.
‘In the meantime, I got caught well.’
In other words, I came to save Felix and completed the quest unexpectedly.
“That’s what happened.”
“Oh? Oh yeah, yeah. Thank you.”
Somehow Felix nodded with a bitter face.
He was completely devoid of arrogance and spite, because of how the unbelievers treated him.
“Felix, I’ll purify you.”
The unbeliever who enchanted his body disappeared, but that did not mean that he was completely purified.
I took out a rose of harmony and the perfume.
“That’s…”
Felix’s pupils shook.
“I opened 〈Rose House〉 this time. It’s a product we sell there.”
Before Felix could say anything, I sprayed perfume on the rose of harmony.
Soon, pink energy surged and was absorbed by Felix.
In fact, I didn’t know that rose harmony could purify the energy of unbelievers.
It wasn’t impossible in theory, so I was just experimenting.
【〈Purification of Unbelievers〉 has been confirmed】
【Quest 〈Explore the truth about the Leonhardt Brighton kidnapping! (2)〉 has been completed】
【50 fate energy will be given as a reward】
“Wow, this works.
I solved two quests in a row.
I think today’s quest was lucky.
‘At times like this, you have to complete the next quest.’
I told Felix.
“Felix, let’s go.”
“Huh? Where?”
“The secret library dedicated to the Imperial family.”
Felix looked embarrassed, but eventually took his benefactor to the secret library dedicated to the royal family.
Violet joined the party heading to the secret library dedicated to the royal family.
“Any writings about the curse of roses, let’s collect them all.”
We decided to split up and look around.
‘I wish I had a search system here.’
Trying to search one by one was inefficient and difficult.
‘Should I really summon one?’
I immediately opened the system window.
I had quite a lot of fate energy saved recently, so I thought I could summon this freely.
【Please specify the item you want to summon】
‘I need an item that can quickly find only the information I want in a place where there are many books or documents.’
Having gained experience while summoning several times, I believe that this much is enough.
After a while, the notification came to mind.
【100 Fate energy is used to summon. Remaining Fate Energy: 675】
‘I knew it would work!’
【Summoning…】
【Summoned successfully. You have acquired glasses that have been adjusted.】
【Summoned items are stored in the inventory】
I immediately took the item out of the inventory and checked it.
【Glasses summoned from the unknown world】
-Grade: C grade
– Item Description: Type the word you want to find the relevant articles.】
“It’s not noticeable because it’s glasses. It’s okay.”‘
【Do you want to use glasses summoned from the unknown world?】
I started searching for information about the curse of roses using items.
【〈Glasses Summoned from the Unknown World〉 will be used.】
‘How does it work?’
I looked around with my glasses on, and at first, there seemed to be no big change.
“What is that?”
Then I took off my glasses when I saw the book in the corner shining.
When I took off my glasses, the light disappeared.
When I put on my glasses again to check, the book shone.
‘This is how it works.’
I was amazed and picked the book that the item told me.
“The Story of an Ancient Witch?”
When I saw the title, I suspected that the item was broken.
‘No, I asked you to find a book about the curse of roses, and you’re looking for a book like a witch’s story.’
It was then—
【〈Find out the curse of roses〉 has been confirmed】
【Part of the requirements have been met to complete the quest 〈Reveal the secret hidden in the curse of roses! (3)〉】
A notification was raised that some conditions of the quest were met.
“What is this?”
