195. Trend person
‘This bastard...was a dimension mover?’
Azul Continental citizens can not use the inventory.
This man, Alec, is unmistakably a dimension mover.
‘It’s not surprising that dimension movers usually hide their identities, but...’
Kang Seung-hyeon stared at Alec.
Alec was thinking about something as he twirled the pen he took out.
‘Only the people of the Azul Continent don’t notice. Dimension movers are generally recognizable by their unique atmosphere, fashion, way of speaking, etc.’
For example, Kim Ho-jeong wears slippers on the subject of being a tanker, so we recognize that he is a dimension mover.
‘But this bastard hides it so perfectly that I almost didn’t notice.’
Alec didn’t feel the unique atmosphere of a dimension shifter, and there was no way he didn’t know that Kang Seung-hyun was a dimension shifter, but he didn’t show it at all.
‘Are you pretending not to know?’
Again, due to the nature of the Azul Continent, it is not surprising that dimension movers hide their identities.
However, continuing to hide their identities in a situation where dimension movers encounter each other means that there is something bothering them.
[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]
Without hesitation, Kang Seung-hyun took out his crossbow and aimed it at Alec’s head.
“Hey... Healer?”
“I know you’re in a hurry, but it’s because you don’t come out right away just because you’re so urging.”
“I’m a bit sad.”
Unlike Ziggs, who was greatly taken aback, Alec just turned the pen with a calm face.
Seunghyun Kang aimed his crossbow and opened his mouth.
“It’s something that people from the same country I met in other places don’t even show.”
At that moment, the smile disappeared from Alec’s face.
This is because ‘a person from the same country I met in a foreign land’ was a slang word used when dimension movers ran into each other.
“...?”
Ziggs looked flustered, but Alec stopped spinning the pen and looked up at Seunghyun Kang.
There was silence at the table for a moment.
“...isn’t hyung a normal bet?”
“...”
“No one noticed that I had ID.”
Alec said with a laugh.
The phrase “possessing a national ID card” is a slang word used among dimension movers.
Of course, it means Korean dimension movers.
“How on earth did you find out?”
“Somehow.”
“It’s not something you can easily spot.”
Seunghyun Kang stared at Alec.
[Takes out an item from the inventory.]
If it wasn’t for the [Observation Eye] that was reflexively activated earlier, it wouldn’t have been easy to notice that he had used the inventory.
“So why did you hide it?”
“There are circumstances here too.”
Alec shifted his gaze to Ziggs.
Caught between the two without knowing why, Ziggs had a confused face.
“....”
“....”
For a long time, the three of them looked at each other with their mouths closed.
‘No, what the hell is it?’
The two who are ready to fight right now, and even Ziggs, who is stuck between them with a very uncomfortable face.
The person who broke this awkward silence was an unexpected person.
“Do you want to eat together there, sir?”
At that moment, Kang Seung-hyun and Alec simultaneously looked in the direction where the voice was heard.
“huh? Why do you look like that?”
“...”
When Kang Seung-hyun did not come back after waiting for a long time, Kim Ho-jung, who was sitting there, approached him.
“Eek what? what happened?”
Ho-jung Kim looked at the crossbow Kang Seung-hyeon took out and shouted with a surprised face. It wasn’t something I would take out at lunchtime.
“That’s...”
The moment Kang Seung-hyun was about to open his mouth,
“Huh? uh?”
Seeing Kim Ho-jung approaching, Alec got up from his seat with a surprised face.
“Brother Kim?”
“huh?”
“You’re Kim, right? That’s right, Kim!”
And I was very happy and approached.
However, Kim Ho-jung was still confused.
“Do you know Kim Ho-jeong?”
“uh? well? Who are you?”
“My name is Alec.”
“Is this your first name?”
Ho-jung Kim didn’t seem to recognize Alec at all.
“I do not remember? In Taric Village before us...”
“Taric Village? iced coffee! you you! that! What! okay! Long time no see!”
No matter how he looked at it, he didn’t seem to remember it at all, but Kim Ho-jung gladly held Alec’s hand.
It was then.
Alec wakes up and grabs a pen and starts scribbling something on a piece of paper at high speed.
Crumble crunch square.
At first, I wondered what graffiti he was doing, and he said
“Huh?”
“Is this a Hind Village?”
“Iknow, right.”
If you look closely, it was a map drawn simply, giving up details, as if it were a drawing of the surroundings of Hind Village.
“Why did you draw this?”
Shaak!
Instead of answering, Alec cut his own hand with the knife he had pulled out.
“Oh really...”
Ziggs, who was eating in front of him, was arrogant.
It certainly wasn’t a sight to see in a restaurant.
Chow!
Alec, however, didn’t care and stamped his bloody hand on the map.
“...”
“Ah~ the answer came out. This place is suspicious!”
Then, with a calm face, he pointed to the bloody map.
“I feel a strange aura from this side.”
“hey.”
Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded.
“What is your job, by any chance?”
“My name is Mr. Alec. I am a detective.”
“Hey, don’t be ridiculous! Where in the world is there a detective who investigates like this?”
Kim Ho-jung, who was next to him, grabbed Alec by the collar with a blank expression.
“Oh, I remembered! Are you a blood mage?”
“...a blood mage?”
A blood mage is a profession that fights using blood.
It’s definitely not a job with detective-like skills.
“That’s the main job and the side job is ‘Fortune Teller’.”
“That’s a fortune teller! After all, you’re not a detective!”
Yes.
Alec was not a detective who used reasoning to find people, but a fortune teller who looked for people by divination.
“What kind of bastard are you?”
“Still, are you sure about the performance?”
Alec smirked and pointed to the map.
The guy claims that the bright red blood in the form of palm prints on the map tells the whereabouts of the person Kang Seung-hyun is looking for.
“Believe that now...”
“This is why I have no choice but to pretend to be a detective. My clients don’t believe in my ability.”
“Would you believe me if I were like you?”
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not.”
Alec sighed and said.
“This is my way and I normally work this way. Isn’t it just a matter of solving the request that my older brother entrusted to me?”
It is said that Alec’s method is to first receive a request as a detective, find out the location by fortune-telling, and then go directly to collect evidence and present it to the client.
“Are fortune-tellers and detectives doing the same thing?”
Unlike Kim Ho-jung, who was dumbfounded
, “It just sounds like a scammer
.”
Seunghyun Kang nodded his head with an understanding face.
Just like he works as a healer in a savage way, this man is only doing a detective job in a savage way.
“Are you agreeing?”
“It’s not fraudulent as long as it produces results. That friend is not an ordinary detective, but a wild detective.”
“If possible, call me a psychic detective.”
Alec smiled and pointed to the map.
From Kang Seung-hyun’s point of view, it’s there, but according to Alec, he used blood to predict the location.
“Come on~ There are a total of 3 places that the fortune-telling points to.”
The location is the southeast exit of the clock tower of Latika Inn.
First of all, it is said that in these three places, there must be someone with [the ability to call rain].
“Here, the exit side has no energy. Do you feel that the clock tower is a bit tight? Will you have a hard time if you go?”
“is that so.”
“But the inn is dangerous.”
Alec pointed at the inn with his bloody finger.
The blood dripping from his fingers stained the map red.
“The fortune telling came out very ominously.”
“Fire?”
“If I go here, someone will surely die? If I were you, I would never go this way.”
“You die?”
“Now choose.”
Alec held out a bloody map.
One is the easy way and the other is the hard way.
The last one is the road of death.
“Where are you going, brother?”
