343. Turning the bomb 1
Late at night, Dail Lofiarmus was resting on his forehead in his room with a confused face.
“Why why why!”
It’s the 5th day since the next master selection match started.
If you endure for the next two days, this hellish life will end, but
“Is it my son!”
Of course, yesterday, his son, ‘Alligan Lofiarmus’, lost his left wrist after being caught up in a suicide bombing attack by the opponent’s forces.
‘Even if you get rid of your wrist so that normal healers can’t treat it...’
Of course, if you get help from Kang Seung-hyun, the only healer in Azul continent who can recover your body, you can restore your wrist.
‘Injuries that do not endanger life will be treated after this event... No, this next master selection match is over.’
‘It’s just an event.’
‘You must have heard it wrong.’
‘...’
‘Anyway, you know that. I’m a referee, so I have to be fair.’
‘Of course, non-candidates can come anytime.’
As he said, Alligan could not receive wrist treatment until the election was over.
‘Damn it! The winning condition is healthy, but how can a patient with one wrist amputated win!’
Dail spared no money and personal connections for this fight, and thanks to this, Alligan was healthy enough to compete for 1st and 2nd place in the candidate competition until yesterday.
‘If I persevered for a while, the next Master’s seat would have been taken by Alligan...!’
However, due to the daytime terror attack yesterday, the efforts of the past five days were in vain.
What’s even more upsetting is that the terrorist who attacked Alligan fled to Kang Seung-hyeon’s side, was treated, and disappeared with the help of his submaster, who instigated him.
-‘Please heal quickly! I have to jump out!’
‘If you pay twice the regular price, we will treat you twice as fast.’
‘I’ll give it to you!’
‘Then [out focus].’
It was an operation that cleverly took advantage of the fact that Kang Seung-hyun’s place was a magic tower safe zone, and that Kang Seung-hyun treated ordinary members even though he did not treat candidates.
‘Hey bitch!!!! who sent you If you don’t tell me quickly, I’ll kill you and your whole family!’
‘Dail! calm down!’
‘Ahh Meteor!’
‘This is the Safe Zone! If Kang Seung-hyun gets caught up in it, he’s out!’
‘Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!’
Thanks to this, Dail had to watch the terrorist run away after being treated right in front of his eyes.
-bang!
‘이런 더러운 짓을 할 만한 새끼는 보나마나 루지 그년이겠지!’
Da-il gritted his teeth and cursed his younger brother, another assistant master.
Originally, the sub-masters did not get along, but even before becoming sub-masters, the two fought and criticized each other over the inheritance of their parents.
“Luge! Are you saying that you’re going to drag our Alligan around like a water ghost because it looks like you can’t master it?”
Rouge’s son and nephew, ‘Idesh Lofiarmus’, was the most unfavorable candidate in this fight because he had good magic skills but a weak body.
In fact, Ideshi was at the bottom of the list for all five days and is said to be crying out loud that he wants to quit even now, as if his body and mind were tired from the endless raids and terrorism.
‘Hold on Ideshi a little longer!’
‘But mother... I really can’t.’
‘lets think. Do you think other kids will save you if you quit now? When it comes to magic skills, you’re number one! There is no master in the world who would let a wizard who is superior to him!’
More than anything, I’ve seen all sorts of dirty things in the past five days, but I can’t let the candidates live.
Even if he gave up everything and ran away from the golden tower, it was clear that he would send assassins until he died.
‘You must become a Master if we are to live!’
So, as time passed, the submasters attacked their nephews in more vicious ways, and Alligan’s terror was one of them.
‘What the hell should I do...’
There are only two days left.
No matter how great a healer is, he can’t make the missing wrist, and Kang Seung-hyun, who can do that, will only heal after the fight is over.
‘Is there any way?’
If the other four lose their limbs within two days, there’s no hope, but since everyone saw what happened to Alligan this time, they would have multiplied the number of guards.
‘Even if I can attack one or two people, it will be difficult to attack all four people.’
“We have to keep the wrist injury on hold and catch the rest of the candidates off guard.”
In the eyes of the other submasters, Alligan with a blown wrist was virtually eliminated.
If there’s nothing special, I won’t bother attacking.
“Probably for the next two days, they will fight each other. Well, if I get sick, I’ll be treated by a healer and take medicine.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and took out a book from his bosom.
“But what if you were relieved because you didn’t seem to have any problems until the 6th, and then your condition suddenly deteriorated?”
“suddenly?”
“For example, other candidates getting so ill that they can’t even get out of bed.”
In that case, Alligan, who walks on his own feet without a wrist, will be the healthiest winner.
“You mean that is possible?”
“Of course I do.”
“Come on, let me know!”
“I’ll let you know if you pay me.”
“...wasn’t it free?”
“Don’t hate it.”
In the end, Kang Seung-hyun took out the herbal medicine book and explained it only after Dail held out the thick bag of money.
“Here is a poisonous mushroom called Meadow.”
“It’s a purple mushroom that’s mushy and doesn’t look like slime.”
A very small amount can be used as a medicine, but if you eat it as it is, you will vomit blood and severe convulsions in your limbs, and if you do not deal with it quickly, you will die of respiratory distress.
In addition, the symptom onset is short enough to be only 30 minutes to an hour after eating, and even if you succeed in detoxification, you will have to stay in bed for three or three days.
“And this is called red orchid. They call it red orchid because it resembles a red cloud.”
Eating red orchid as it is has no effect, but strangely, eating it together with mead mushrooms has the effect of delaying the onset of symptoms.
So, although red orchid itself cannot be used as an antidote, it can be used to buy time.
“It depends on the ratio, but if you combine red orchid well, it is not a problem to postpone the poisoning symptoms of mead mushroom to two days later.”
“That means...”
“If you use this, the only candidate who will appear on the last day in good shape is Alligan.”
Reversal of the rankings in one day from the bottom.
It also means that you can win after sitting still for two days.
“Everything is going to be manufactured right now... Where do we get the materials for the materials?”
“calm down. I have the red orchid.”
Kang Seung-hyun took out a red orchid from his inventory pretending to take it out of his pocket.
“But there are no mead mushrooms. Can you get me from the magic tower medicine room?”
Kang Seung-hyeon wrote down the number of medicinal herbs and the required amount of mead mushrooms.
“Ah, if you bring in other people, there is a high possibility that the story will leak out, so it would be better to visit ‘in person’.”
“Okay. Go right away.”
“It may fail while making it, so please bring me plenty.”
Da-il hurriedly ran to the apothecary and got mead mushrooms.
Boogle Boogle.
Kang Seung-hyeon made a poison potion using the mushrooms Dail brought and the red orchid he had.
“It is complete.”
“Oh oh!”
“The potion manufacturing cost is 300,000 gold.”
“Are you getting paid for this...”
Dail held out the bag of money and received the poison potion with arrogance.
“You know how to feed them. Shouldn’t I tell you that?”
“Don’t worry. Because I have something in mind.”
“Then let’s go. Good luck.”
Kang Seung-hyun, who was about to leave the room, stopped for a moment and picked up the mead mushrooms left on the table.
“Oh, can I keep the leftover mushrooms? It’s hard to find and expensive.”
“If you dispose of it, I will be grateful. Do as you please.”
“Then I’ll do ‘whatever’ I want.”
After taking the mushrooms, Kang Seung-hyeon smiled lightly and left Da-il’s room.
