Chapter 234

234. What you are hiding 1

“I can’t believe there was a space like this inside the rice wall.”

“It’s a common thing in Azul Continent.”

“They run an escape room cafe at home.”

The existence of the secret room itself was not surprising.

Whether it’s the nobility or the church, the upper classes of the Azul continent often had secrets that others should not know about.

“The problem is here...”

There were a lot of things wrapped in white cloth in the hidden room. Quick-witted Kang Seung-hyeon realized that the identity of the white cloth was the ‘silver horse’ cloth.

“There are a lot of things that shouldn’t be in the church.”

“Shouldn’t there be?”

Fire!

Kang Seung-hyeon rolled up the cloth of the silver horse.

Then, a parched mummy appeared beneath it, exuding black energy.

[I feel strong black magic.]

“I knew it would be like this.”

“Ooh whoa!”

Kim Ho-jeong screamed and fell backwards.

It’s been a year since I fell on the Azul continent, but it seems that I still haven’t adapted to the corpse.

“What is this all about! Are you a zombie?”

“It’s not a zombie, it’s a mummy.”

Man-made mummies, not natural mummies.

It is also a ‘sorcery mummy’ created using black magic.

“It’s something that doesn’t go well with the church.”

“Why? Aren’t all black magic victims sent to the Church?”

“Because this is not the way priests do.”

In fact, it is common for the church to store corpses contaminated with dark magic.

However, if it is a normal church, the contaminated corpse will be purified with divine power and not wrapped in silver horse cloth.

“If I had to argue, it’s the way black magicians do.”

“Huh, black magician?”

In other words, ‘something’ that should never exist in the church.

That was the trace of the black magician.

“Priest Louis, please come this way.”

“Something? I’m busy investing for my future... Huh!”

Priest Lewis, who had approached with a heavy body, was surprised to see the mummy affected by dark magic and fell backwards.

“It is terrible!”

If you’re a church priest, you’d be used to seeing a corpse, but looking at it like that, it looks like you haven’t done much work.

“what do you think?”

“Isn’t it a corpse that exudes dark magic! Why is this inside the holy and holy Great Temple of Zumare!”

Priest Lewis screamed in a fit of rage.

Even though they came in after paying back money, it seems that the priest was beaten when they see the dark magic and froth and run amok.

“This is a church. But there are traces of a black magician?”

“It’s not just a church, it’s the headquarters of a denomination.” Even here

is the holy place of priests who are

the furthest away from black magicians .

“Ser, is there a spy inside the Church of Zumare?”

“Spy... is a strange word. There’s no way the priests wouldn’t notice this.”

Kang Seung-hyeon pointed at Priest Louis, who was diligently rummaging through the bookshelves behind him.

“It’s not a fake like Pastor Lewis.”

“That means! Does that mean that all the priests of the Church of Zumare came in with money, just like Priest Lewis!?”

“That’s not what it means, but it means that the Church of Zumare is knowingly but acquiescing.”

“They must be dissatisfied with the pitch black tower. They are dark magicians who live by the law.”

The plan was grander than expected.

If the operation really succeeds, it will be possible to swallow the Azul continent.

“Well, if we can combine divine power and dark magic.”

“Just as water and oil don’t mix, pouring water into boiling oil is the same as making a mess.”

There are reasons why others don’t.

If you forcibly mix black magic and divine power, one of them will disappear or usually collapse without being able to hold on, so there were people who tried a few times, but gave up soon.

“But it will be the first time in the history of the Azul Continent that the Church is working hand in hand with a black magician... Let’s take a look.”

“Are you going in?”

“I can’t just miss something that looks like fun.”

Kang Seung-hyun moved into the secret room.

After all, he was a ‘enjoyer’.

trudge trudge.

As we passed between mummies wrapped in silver horse cloth in a dark space, we found an old iron gate.

“Sir, I’m going too!”

“I am not going! Both of you, come back quickly and escort me! You never know when the church priests will attack you!”

Lewis slowly moved away from the back, and Kim Ho-jung glanced around and came inside.

“What on earth are they trying to do with a bunch of dead bodies...

”

It means that it must not be leaked to the outside world, not anywhere else, but in the base of the church, and in a secret room connected to the archives that are strictly prohibited from entering.

“Usually black magicians use corpses as research materials.”

“That’s right. That’s their job.”

“But the corpses in this room were not collected to be used as materials, but they were difficult to deal with, so they were put in storage.”

“Difficult to deal with?”

“You just threw it away.”

In fact, the mummies in the room were piled up here and there like holiday packages.

“If it’s for ingredients, I organize it neatly and put a tag number on it, so I don’t leave it in such a mess.”

“If it’s unnecessary, I’d rather just burn it... Aren’t these guys sorry for the deceased?”

“There must be a reason. Is there a reason not to burn it?”

Kang Seung-hyun drank the stamina potion and pushed the iron door.

profit.

The door opened quickly as it was not locked.

It was dark and narrow beyond the iron gate, but there were torches installed in the middle, so there seemed to be no problem when walking around.

“It looks like you entered a ruins dungeon.”

“Except for the humans waiting for us underground, not the boss monsters.”

good.

Kang Seung-hyun took a knife out of his inventory and hid it in his sleeve so that he could use it right away.

“Ehh, monsters are better...”

Kim Ho-jung swallowed and took out the wooden club he bought for 10 gold from the store.

I wondered if something like that would help, but I couldn’t help it because I didn’t have the money to buy weapons.

Bassack Bassak.

“Sir, is there a door here?”

how far did you walk

The two found a tightly closed door in the hallway of the hidden room of the Great Hall. It was a door that emitted powerful energy that was incomparable to the crude iron door that had been opened earlier.

“Are you going to lock it too?”

“It is open.”

Seunghyun Kang twisted the doorknob and went inside.

“Someone opened it and went in, so it should be open.”

“Who are you!”

As soon as I entered, I ran into a man in a robe.
