230. Skill Scroll
“Did I explain before that I haven’t acquired the healing skill yet?”
“It was, it was.”
Over the past few months, Kang Seung-hyun has spent thousands of points on roulette to pick up a healing skill, but he has been living a life full of anger, winning only garbage every time.
“So I was thinking about quitting everything and living as a physical therapist... I found out about skill scrolls.”
“Skill scroll?”
skill scroll.
A consumable item that allows you to learn skills just by reading or tearing it.
– You can get skills without doing hard training!
– Can I really just tear it up?
-If you have this, a new skill...!
-yogh! Thank God!
Dimension movers have no reason to ask for a skill scroll thanks to the status window, but it is an item like a miracle of God for the people of Azul, who have difficulty obtaining skills unless they are born with talent.
“Of course, my purpose is the healing skill scroll.”
Didn’t get what you wanted at roulette?
If that’s the case, you just have to put the cash on it.
“Oh, now that I think about it, I think I’ve heard of it... isn’t that a very expensive item?”
“that’s right. That’s why I work so hard to save money.”
Millions of gold are just broken if you want to obtain a very crappy skill or a trivial life skill in the form of a scroll.
“Of course, the better the skill performance, the higher the price goes up exponentially.”
“I’m stumped with a few thousand gold, but other people are playing with tens of millions of gold...”
Kim Ho-jeong looked at her wallet.
It contained only pennies.
As the skills of the Azul Continent are created through hard effort and practice, skill scrolls are also created as a by-product of effort.
“A product of hard work?”
“Usually, it is very rare to find in dungeons or sealed artifacts, but it is possible to make it artificially.”
“huh? If it can be made, isn’t it easily obtainable?”
“Because it wasn’t easy.”
For example, in order for Azul Continental citizens to acquire the ‘detoxification’ skill, they must study various poisons and detoxification methods diligently and write thousands of records.
If you read and study hundreds of thousands of records made in this way again, you will have faith and will, and finally {Decryption Skill Scroll}, which allows you to learn the ‘Decryption’ skill just by reading it, will be born.
“So it’s a byproduct of hard work.”
“Oh, so skill scrolls are like organized notes or genealogies!”
“That’s it. When you say that, it doesn’t seem like it at all.”
“Then I’ll call it non-class.”
Anyway, to sum it up, ‘Skill Scroll’ is born when people’s beliefs and wills are combined with ceaseless efforts.
“There are also records that a diary written by a hermit master during his lifetime training became a skill scroll, or a letter he wrote wishing for the safe return of his husband who left for the battlefield became a scroll.”
“Oong...”
There are stories of individuals creating skill scrolls in this way, but it is a very rare case and is usually made by a group of many people.
“Roughly, fighting skills are martial arts dojo, swordsmanship skills are knights, magic skills are magic towers, etc...” “
Sure! Healing skill!”
“Of course, I have no choice but to deal with the ‘Cult’ guys.”
The healing skill itself can be obtained by ordinary people who are not affiliated with the Church, but only the Church can create {Healing Skill Scroll}.
As well as holy water, in order to create a healing skill scroll, dozens or hundreds of great priests like Heiss had to pray and write prayers to the god who reads and writes every day.
“But they aren’t good at selling holy water. Shall I give away such a precious scroll easily?”
“That’s right.”
Like holy water, healing skill scrolls are not given to just anyone, as they are the fruit of faith in God.
“Usually, it is an item that is given only to benefactors who have made a big contribution to widely spread the name of the god supported by the church or who have been of great help to the church.”
So, in the church, it was one of the items that were strictly managed, such as severely punishing those who damaged or leaked healing skill scrolls to the outside.
“We have to go quite far, so let’s prepare what we need in advance.”
-So, a month after Kang Seung-hyun temporarily accompanied Kim Ho-jeong, the two of them arrived in the southeastern city of ‘Ladia’.
“Oh, this is Radaia.”
As the city is home to the headquarters of a large religious order, security is assured and treatment is easy, so the streets are full of wealthy nobles.
“Let’s go straight to the church headquarters.”
Headquarters of the Church of Zumare, Great Temple of Zumare.
Like other denominations, it is a sanctuary for the followers of Zumare, where believers and priests hone their divine power.
‘Well, it’s open for outsiders to visit, but they won’t let the really important places in.’
Only a few tourists can visit, and in order to come inside, you must be invited by a follower of Zumare or an insider.
“Are you going inside?”
“No, the trading place is over there.”
Around the Great Temple of Zumare, a market is formed to rob the pockets of visitors to the temple.
“Kim Ho-jeong, please wait here. Because it’s the rule to go alone
. ”
Kang Seung-hyun put on his hood and passed through the market and entered a quiet alley.
This alley, not far from Daeshinjeon, is an illegal scroll trading place.
“Are you there?”
“Oh brother! I was waiting.”
Then, at a glance, a greedy-looking man appeared from the back of the alley.
This guy is Louis Berel, a priest of the Church of Zumare.
“I don’t know how long you’ve been waiting here, but you probably haven’t waited longer than me. I waited half a year.”
“Ha ha ha, I know that. How earnestly the brother must have been until this moment when he received Zumare-nim’s blessing...” ”
So there is no need for long words, let’s get straight to the point.”
thud! thud!
Kang Seung-hyun put down his heavy pockets.
It is a valuable asset that I saved hard to buy a healing skill scroll.
“The promised 170 million gold.”
“Oh oh...”
“70 million of them are coins and the rest are filled with jewelry and items, so take care of it yourself.”
“Heh heh heh! rather good! Originally, the more precious things are stored, the higher their value.”
Priest Lewis smiled broadly and gestured.
Then, people who had been hiding in the alley appeared and began to examine the sack.
Of course, these are porters.
However, he is not just a porter, but possesses an item appraisal skill.
“Verification complete.”
“The appraisal skill result is genuine.”
“no problem.”
After verification, the porters moved the sacks.
“Now that you have paid, please give me what you promised.”
“Heh heh heh, here he is.”
Priest Louis held out an ornate box.
When the box was opened, it contained a dazzling scroll.
“Ah, I’m asking just in case...”
“I swear by Zumaire-nim’s name that it is a genuine scroll.”
“Well, he must have prepared a fake one.”
Seunghyun Kang looked at the scroll with a smile.
“If you did that, the Church would disappear.”
“But if it’s that expensive, it must be hard to find, right?”
“Yes. It’s hard to find, but the demand is high, so it’s expensive.”
