Episode 231
: Highly Difficulty Quest!
The reason why X declared this was because of his wealth of experience.
It would be a different story if it were simply a case of missing children, but the case of Always Green Sunset Village was unique.
“Children are missing, but parents are keeping silent. It’s strange, isn’t it? “There are a lot of reliable naval forces near the village.”
“Are you saying the Navy is involved in the children’s disappearance?”
“That is likely to be the case.”
At this moment, X changed his evaluation of Cheol Jung-hwan.
From an ambitious person to an ambitious person who will do whatever it takes.
As I said, it was not a confirmed fact. There was a possibility that Danwoo and Katharine were just guessing.
However, if you listen to the stories of the village residents, you will be able to understand the truth of the incident.
‘It looks like we’ve committed some crime.’
The three exchanged glances and then entered the village, hiding their presence.
X began to have reasonable doubts. Since these were missing children, I couldn’t help but think about other beings.
‘First of all, I don’t feel any foreign energy in the village.’
Still, I thought it was a blessing in disguise.
The problem started now.
How can we contact the villagers on a late night like this? The village was unusually quiet, not a single child crying.
“If I make a loud noise, I’ll be caught right away, right?”
If I had known this would happen, I would have made an appointment in advance.
As Katharine bit her lip, Danwoo came out.
A small light was coming out of the blacksmith’s house next to the blacksmith shop.
“That guy clearly looked like he needed help.”
“Is it possible to have a proper conversation in a situation like this?”
Well, it would be okay if the blacksmith let me into his house. Didn’t the village residents also say that they were being watched?
It seemed that in order to contact them, we would have to exchange at least a password.
But Danwoo shrugged his shoulders.
“Blacksmiths have something in common.”
“...what?”
It was only for a moment that Katharine tilted her head.
Danwoo knocked softly on the door of the blacksmith’s house. Dan-woo whispered quietly as soon as there was a sign of popularity.
“trident.”
trident?
Did you decide on a password in advance?
There was no way that Ex and Katharine could have known about the discussion about the trident’s cost-effectiveness.
But blacksmiths have something in common.
Squeak-!
Soon the door was carefully opened.
“Please come in.”
The three of them quickly entered the blacksmith’s workshop without anyone knowing what to do next.
The blacksmith seemed surprised by the large number of people, but he opened his mouth with a determined face.
“Looking at your outfit... are you strangers?”
“you’re right. We are the upper class from the West Station.”
“West West Station?”
The blacksmith was startled, but heaved a sigh of relief.
“Maybe it’s a good thing.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“From now on, what I am asking you to do is because it is related to the high-ranking people of this land. “You don’t have to worry about getting caught up in them and causing harm to yourself.”
High people!
Danwoo and Katarin couldn’t help but be surprised by the words that came out of his mouth. Because X’s guess was exactly right.
Of course, this was what X had expected.
X asked back.
“Is it possible that General Cheol Jung-hwan is also involved?”
“Now how did you do that...?”
“It’s only natural to assume that you can’t ask for help from the Navy. So, can you tell me the whole story?”
The blacksmith took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
It is said that the incident began with a warning from a shaman.
“The shaman gave a fortune telling that if the village soil does not get wet for the next year, General Cheol’s path to success will be clear. “Except the providence of nature.”
“Town? “Okay, what do you think?”
“The tranquility seemed perfect for feng shui geography.”
“Feng Shui? Haha, do you learn that kind of thing in the West Region as well?”
For a moment, I thought he had made a mistake, but Cheol Jung-hwan didn’t think it was a big deal.
And then, whether he liked X’s answer or not, he revealed a secret without even asking.
“I think it was thanks to the fortune telling that I met you.”
“Foretelling?”
X asked innocently, pretending not to know anything.
Cheol Jung-hwan spit out the same words the blacksmith said.
Even though he was laughing, he didn’t seem to have the slightest hint of guilt. X said, filling his glass with interest.
“He seems like a very brave shaman.”
“okay? Would you like to meet me too?”
“Can I do that?”
“There’s nothing that can’t be done, right?”
Rather, I had to be careful when things got out of hand. Instead of answering right away, X asked carefully.
“I’m also curious about my fortune, but that’s because I believe in a religion. Still, isn’t it possible that the god I believe in in the West and the god worshiped by the shaman in the East Continent are the same god?”
“Contrary to what it looks like, you pay attention to the little things.”
“So, general, do you know what kind of god the shaman serves?”
Gurgling X swallowed his saliva internally.
First of all, the decision to bring out the volcanic deodeokju was the best.
Cheol Jung-hwan, who was completely drunk, answered any question without thinking about it.
However, in Cheol Jung-hwan’s subsequent answer, something completely unexpected came out.
“Hehe, there’s a reason that shaman was useful.”
He continued speaking as if he was proud of Cheol Jung-hwan.
“Because he serves the ‘god of fate.’”
“!”
At that moment, X’s drinking glass shook slightly.

Early morning.
X was riding deep in the mountains. Strangely enough, X was not alone.
The owner of the shadow following closely behind X was Dallas. Dallas said, panting.
“Hey, Mr. X, isn’t it a bit weird to hunt monsters from dawn?”
“I heard you wanted to party hunt with me sometime.”
“No, now the experience points don’t increase because of the level difference.”
The reason why X led Dallas up the mountain was simple.
God of fate!
Doesn’t he express dislike towards himself for defeating other beings? Doesn’t he now kidnap innocent children?
Because I couldn’t help but wonder what the hell that guy was doing.
Therefore, X planned to honestly ask Sacredia, the god of sacrifice.
It seemed like even Sacridia wouldn’t be able to protect him if he told him what had happened.
“I’m sorry, but you’re going to have a hard time today.”
“You’re still having a hard time?!”
“My condolences in advance to your kneecap, Dallas.”
The advent of Sacredia!
X was now able to purify the rune stone without Dallas’ sacrifice, but he was unable to have a proper conversation with Sacredia who appeared like that.
That’s why I brought Dallas. Dallas has now enjoyed the jjambap to the point where he can read X’s thoughts.
Dallas shrugged his shoulders.
“Just looking at it, it looks like you are planning to offer a ancestral rite. But isn’t the most important relic missing? Unfortunately, my meeting with the goddess will be at a later date...”
Absence of sacred objects.
The sacred tree branches that X currently possessed were not enough to summon Sacredia.
But X clearly remembered what Seo Ji-ha said.
-Ah, that ugly duckling was a monster. The variety of monsters is so vast. Come to think of it, the flesh of monsters was often purchased by shamans who worshiped gods at a reasonable price.
“Well, it’s a sacred object, so you can look for it from now on. There’s a saying that if you don’t have teeth, you have gums.”
Why would only a shaman need the flesh of a monster?
Needless to say, this is because the flesh of a monster is an offering to the gods!
X, who was looking around, quenched his appetite.
“From the ancestral rites to the experience points, today’s hunting must be particularly rewarding.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
