Chapter 18: Purification skill.

[I have successfully analyzed the water.]

'Good, so what did we get?'

[For starters, it's of no natural occurrce, magical properties have be injected into the water. Either a curse or perhaps creatures with a curse have affected the water's natural properties.]

'A curse, can you determine what kind of curse we are dealing with here?.'

[Negative]

[But I shall keep working on it.]

'I guess ev you have your limits'.

Ha Joon looked behind him, the curiosity on Merlin and Artoria's face were boldly writt.

He sighed.

"So uhm, here's the thing. From what I could tell after my observation and other stuff like that. This water has be cursed." Ha Joon revealed as he stood up.

"A curse? That's impossible, if there was indeed a curse, our mages would have ssed it before it was ev casted." Artoria immediately spoke up.

"Yeah, and ev if they didn't manage to do that, we have guards here 4/7, I doubt anyone could have walked in here." Merlin added.

Ha Joon was quiet for a while.

'Do they realize they have an evil maniacal being in the castle with them? This has Morgana writt all over it, the illegitimate sister of Arthur Pdragon, evil and cunning as legd says it. Unless she's differt here, come to think of it, I hav't se her since I arrived.'

Ha Joon took a deep breather.

"Ah! Yes, wer't you at war two weeks ago or so. While the whole commotion was happing in the country, someone might have used that opportunity to do this.. in any case, there's a curse in the water, the problem is, how do we determine what kind of curse it is?" Ha Joon uttered.

Artoria looked to the side, "I have no issue trusting you. But I doubt the rest of the knights would have the same reaction, especially since we don't know the type of curse we are dealing with".

"Th we only tell them what we want them to know. There's a curse in the water, so we'll have to lay off it until Merlin is able to purify it." Ha Joon uttered, "That way, they know it's a work in progress, while I try to fix it".

"You want to fix it?" Merlin asked.

"Of course, you should have more faith in your studts. Give me one night." Ha Joon replied boldly.

Both Artoria and Merlin stared at each other for a while.

Was it going to be the right choice to leave everything at the hands of the Traveler?.

Artoria smiled a bit, "Do whatever you must. I'll go address my subject." She left.

"Well, I'm curious to see how you plan to handle this one, .... Traveler." Merlin winked at him before walking away.

'Sorry to tell you guys, but my motivation isn't coming from any place or honesty. If I succeed, hehe, I'm sure Merlin would want to do more freaky freaky, and I'll be damned if I don't get busy busy'.

Ha Joon stared at the template. Looking at it, he could tell there were some skills he hadn't dreamed of touching.

Other than that, some of his skills had gott past Expert rank and are already in Master- a good step forward in his eyes.

'Okay, I'm satisfied. Eh? But these NPC skills still in Novice rank tho, remind me what the Icon tag does again?'.

[Idtifies objects with a tag. Suitable for finding something that has be missing.]

'Ahh, so like in games.' Ha Joon placed his hand under his jaw, 'That can actually be very useful in the future, and I'm guessing Night vision is for seeing at night?'.

[Yes.]

[But with further ranking, it could be used for reading heat signatures.]

'Eh? What on earth would I need that for if I have the tag skill already?' Ha Joon looked a bit deadpanish.

[You can use that a means of spying on your emies, in a way, you can see through walls, and that can be-]

'Did you just say... see through walls?' Ha Joon paused.

[I did.]

A smile showed on Ha Joon's face.

'You should have said that earlier'.
