250. Flemish Olive Mansion 1
“Something to deliver?”
“Last night, Lafay-nim came and left it.”
Julia brought out a small box.
From the outside, it looks like a luxurious jewelry box that only nobles could use.
“Originally, I came to see Mr. Kang, but when I told him he hadn’t returned yet, he handed it to me instead.”
Lafay, who left the box, said he had work to do for the time being and left Hind Village.
I think it will come back in about a month.
“Don’t you know what’s in it?”
“yes. I was just told to tell Mr. Kang.”
“thank you.”
Kang Seung-hyeon lightly bowed his head and left the inn with the box.
-Suddenly.
“{Huh...}”
“{Uh, sir! Are you here?}”
“{Yes. I’ve been to the Bitspole Inn.}”
Back at the tent office, Alec was still sprawled out on the sofa, yawning, and clearing the table was a black beast that had hardly been involved in a night of drinking.
‘Well, how many times do I have to see a monster clean up the drinking table in my life?’
Took.
Kang Seung-hyun sat down on the sofa and put the box he took out of his inventory on the table.
“{huh? bro what is that? Cake?}”
“{Mr. Lafay left it at the inn.}”
“{I see... Lafay. I don’t know who it is.}”
“{He’s an apothecary I know well}”
Lafay.
Like Alec, a strange apothecary who runs a tent shop in the back alley of Hind Village.
I usually take care of or cooperate with her on various things, but today is the first time I’ve received a box like this.
‘What’s in it?’
rattle.
When I open the box, I find a pocket full of gold and a map folded in half with letters scrawled on it. And there was a paper bag inside.
“{It’s not a cake.}”
“{You should read the letter first, right?}”
Kang Seung-hyun opened the scrawled letter.
This letter seems to have been written yesterday at the inn.
§ Do you have any plans to do a commission? §
§ Open the paper bag if you have one. §
§ If you don’t have one, you can sell it to the Adventurer’s Guild. §
§ Or burn it, it doesn’t matter. §
§ – Lafay – §
‘As expected, it’s a letter like Mr. Lafay.’
The letter contained only what he had to say.
“{Uh... Sir, I can’t read because communication is off right now. What is it written on?}” “
{Mr. Lafay wants to entrust me with a request.}” “ {
Ask Mr. Oh?}”
As they knew each other well, they usually did not go through the adventurer’s guild, and entrusted the request.
There are no fees and it is much faster.
“{I’m not the kind of person who prepares such a luxurious box to entrust a request... It looks like someone else asked for it.}” Judging by the paper
bag with a stamp that would be used by a high-ranking person, the real client is a nobleman. It seems.
“{So what is the request?}”
“{Let’s check it.}”
First of all, the map in the box was {Karon Guide Map}, one of the cities in the western region of Azul Continent.
‘If it’s Charon, it’s around here.’
City Charon is the largest city in the area and at the same time the closest city to Hind Village.
You can reach it by going down through the forest and plains from the south gate of the village.
‘I haven’t been there for a while now, but I still go to the bookstore once a month to buy a new book when it comes out.’
Charon was a city frequented by adventurers who lived in the Hind Village because there was a Magical Association or Alchemist Workshop that were not yet in the Hind Village.
Kang Seung-hyeon also often visited to get books or item materials.
“{There’s a mark on the map.}”
“{Let’s see.... It says ‘Golden Olive Mansion’.}” “{
“{Is this the Golden Olive Mansion?}”
“It’s dirty big and splendid, befitting a mansion of an aristocratic family in a big city.”
“It’s beautiful. If I had brought a camera, I would have taken a commemorative photo.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party looked around the entrance for a while and then moved inside.
“Forbidden!”
“Unauthorized people cannot pass through...”
“Now, check it out.”
“Take a look!”
Of course, armed guards guarded the entrance thoroughly, but when they saw the entry permit to the mansion that Kang Seung-hyeon had given them, they bowed their backs and let it pass.
“{I just let you through.}”
A four-legged black beast. No, the thug muttered as he glanced behind him.
“{Yeah, it’s popular these days among adventurers to bring a pet.}” “
{I’m a human?}”
After passing through the entrance and going inside, I was able to see the beautiful golden locust trees planted throughout the garden, worthy of the name.
“{This is a gold tree!}”
“{I didn’t notice it at all when I was outside, but when I came inside, the flower scent was amazing.}”
“I didn’t smell anything outside.”
As the three leisurely look around the garden,
“Are you a guest?”
“By the way.”
“Nice to meet you. I am Daphne, the gardener of the Pacherell family.”
A gardener who was tending the garden found Kang Seung-hyeon and the others and approached them.
“Oh, my name is Healer Kang Seung-hyun.”
“I am Mr. Alec.”
“@♧♧&♧♤.”
“We came here for the granddaughter of the head of the household. Can we see the head of the household?”
“of course! The elder gave the order to serve all the healers who visit the mansion with utmost sincerity.”
Daphne, the gardener, took the lead, smiling brightly and saying she would lead us to the drawing room.
Zap Zap Zap.
As I followed Daphne, my eyes were drawn to the beautiful scenery of the manor garden.
“The garden is beautiful.”
“Goldwoods are not only beautiful to look at, but also have a beautiful scent, so it’s nice to be able to enjoy the beauty twice as much.”
“By the way, doesn’t the golden olive scent spread far?”
Geummokseo is a plant nicknamed Manlihyang because its scent is very sweet and spreads far.
But outside the mansion, there was no scent.
“Originally, the scent should spread outside, but the elder called the wizards to put a barrier on the mansion to prevent the scent from spreading outside.”
“To prevent it from spreading outside?”
“The scent of the golden locust is so attractive that in the past, people who were intoxicated with the scent used to raid the mansion.”
“If that’s the case, then I understand.”
“That’s why we’re setting up a tower in the garden and activating the Eunhyang Barrier.”
Hearing those words, he looked around the mansion and saw that 12 towers had been built in the garden.
Fire!
Examining the [Observing Eye], I saw a blurry film spreading around the tower and enveloping the mansion.
‘Well, the idea is not bad, but do I need to put that many?’
The structure of Eunhyang Barrier is not complicated, so it can be activated by installing only 3 or 4 stone towers for the barrier.
‘There’s no need to build 12 of them.’
[The stone pagoda was built 40 years ago.]
[The stone pagoda was built about a year ago.]
As a bonus, 3 of the 12 pagodas have been built for quite some time, but the other 9 are only a year old.
“Im here. Relax inside!”
“thank you.”
“I will excuse myself.”
Seunghyun Kang and the others saw off Daphne as she returned to her seat and opened the parlor door.
slurp.
There, the first guest was drinking tea.
The moment he brought the teacup to his lips, Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes met.
Whoop!
He spat out the tea in his mouth with a shocked face.
It’s like running into someone you never want to meet.
