The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism - Chapter 140



140.

＜The repeat quest has occurred by meeting certain conditions!＞

＜Repeat quest complete!＞

＜Compensation will be given.＞

“Repeat Quest… ”

Apparently, a new quest had been added.

I stared at the log and opened the quest window.

＜Repeat Quest – Correcting the Wrong Tradition＞

– Extinction of existence with twisted tradition, or improvement of tradition.

Reward: Crafting Recipe, Crafting Material

The content of the quest itself was quickly understood.

However, the reward was a bit subtle.

crafting recipe.

In fact, until now, the crafting function has been rarely used.

I didn’t know what to make, and I didn’t know how to make it.

So, are you going to tell me how to do it now?

“… If you’re going to tell me, let me know soon.”

I muttered that and called up the Magic Cube’s crafting window.

Then, there were actually several recipes related to snailfish added.

From equipment such as snail’s shield and snailfish’s pot helmet.

Even skills could be crafted.

Even if it’s equipment, it’s a skill.

Was it even possible to create skills?

But there was a problem.

I needed that material as it was a crafting skill, but I only had one material right now.

＜Shimmering Snail Shell＞

– It is the shell of a large water snail with the legend of snail snail. It can be obtained as a repeatable quest reward.

– Crafting material items.

– It is not consumed even if used as a crafting material.

It was nice that it wouldn’t disappear even if I used it as an ingredient, but what could I do with just one of these shells?

However, as I looked through each recipe, I found that it can do a lot of things unexpectedly.

＜The Snail’s Shield＞

Magic grade or higher shield + snail shell

＜Ureonggaksi’s Urn Helm＞

Epic or better helmet + snail shell

In the case of equipment, most recipes were like this.

As long as you have a snail shell, you can create a snail set by combining it with other sacred spirits.

In addition, the snail set is used as a crafting material for other items.

The recipe was designed to create multiple crafting items by combining snail shells with common items.

“hmm… ”

Of course, some of them seemed difficult to make.

In particular, among the recipes, there was one that could make the fish snail body, and there were more than 10 ingredients.

Also, the name of the ingredients, except for snail shells, were the only ingredients that the Yonggung’s spirit was talking about, and I didn’t know.

So, I started by looking for something I could make right away, but still useful.

Then, just in time, something just right caught my eye.

＜The snail hiding in the shell＞

Snail Snail Pot Fragment + Snail Shell

– When activated in a non-combat state, it enters an intermediate cognitive impairment state. Decreased chance of being discovered by enemies.

– You can hide the status of your own succession.

It was a small skill that could help with concealment when doing something like stealth.

But I was more interested in the second effect than the concealment effect itself.

The fact that it can hide the status of succession.

I still needed this skill.

I’m still seeing the effects of the divine powers, such as the blue dragon and the white tiger.

There will be times when you have to hide that power.

So I decided to try making that skill right away.

All ingredients were with me.

The jar fragments… Because I could have made it right now.

“… … ”

I looked at the jar in my hand.

The jar of snailfish, which was once a treasure, was judged as an ordinary item with its black color gone.

So I snapped the jar’s handle and broke it.

Anyway, the management department only requested the disappearance of the snailfish, so it wouldn’t matter too much if the pot was broken.

And when I made a skill with this material, the new skill was added to the skill window without any problems.

“Not bad.”

That moment when you successfully finished making your first recipe.

The door opened with a clanking sound.

Outside, besides the sewage well, several guards were waiting for me.

It was probably in case I failed.

“It’s already over… is it? Are you okay… ?”

Ha Soo-jung carefully looked inside the room and at my face and asked.

“Ah, yes. it’s okay. The snailfish was safely removed.”

Saying that, I first held out the jar, and she was startled and backed away.

But when he realized that the lid of the jar was open and that it was empty, he opened his eyes wide.

As expected, he didn’t seem to care too much about the handle being broken.

“It’s really a snailfish… What happened?”

“I just caught it because it jumped out.”

I answered appropriately.

She wouldn’t have been able to use the observation equipment anyway, so she wouldn’t know what was going on inside.

“Caught… Exactly how-”

“Rather than that, is today’s work over?”

At my words, Soo-jung Ha smiled a few times, then nodded reluctantly.

She would have to write a report or something like that, so it seemed like she wanted to hear the details from me.

Work came first for me.

Anyway, today is not the last day either.

“Then, thank you for your hard work.”

So I answered like that, and the first day of my dispatch from the management department ended like that.

and the next day.

After finishing my work in Gwimul-dong, I went to Sinsu-dong of the management department.

Unlike Gwimuldong, in a much brighter atmosphere, I met an unexpected familiar face.

“Mr. Kang Jin-woo?”

That was Dayoung Kim.

As an exorcist at LB Academy, it seems that she eventually quit her combat job and moved to the administration department.

I briefly exchanged greetings with her.

“Ah, you’ve been dispatched.”

“It happened. I didn’t know you worked here.”

“Actually, I haven’t been here in a while. So, I am still a regular researcher. But thanks to you, I’m glad I was able to guide Kang Jin-woo today.”

Dayoung Kim said with a smile.

After that, Sinsu-dong started to handle the work under her guidance.

But the thing is,

“Haetae… Are you not listening?”

“yes. So, I hope Mr. Kang Jin-woo can help me. I heard you brought back the white rock easily this time?”

For some reason, they reminded me of animal-related TV shows.

“That’s it… ”

“And one of the inmyeonjo hasn’t eaten lately. I’d like you to take a look at that too.”

Not a dog trainer.

But I also had nothing to say.

Because to me it wasn’t impossible.

“… All right.”

That’s how I visited some of the gods and spirits, corrected their behavior, and solved the problem.

It was by no means difficult.

With the deity of the White Tiger, Suzaku, and Blue Dragon, there were no gods or spirits here who would refuse my orders.

So I tackled those little chores as if I was at the zoo on vacation.

And while trying to hide the legend and divinity, while also checking the efficacy of the newly acquired skill.

“That… ”

Inside a large cage, I found the serpent I had encountered before.

According to Dayoung Kim, the management department seemed to be treating him as a new type of Imoogi.

“Something like that… Are you new?”

“yes. They said it could be a newly discovered special object.”

Originally, the Imoogi was sacred but ferocious.

Even if he is kind to humans, he is an existence that can never be easily treated.

They have strong pride and do not want to be bound by humans, so even in the management department, the handling of the Imoogi was particularly difficult.

“however… Wasn’t that Imoogi at all?”

She then told of a minor accident that had occurred here.

It was a mistake on the part of the management department that led one of the management personnel to come into direct contact with the Imoogi.

If it were an ordinary Imoogi, it would not be strange even if a death event occurred.

However, the Imoogi, which had no such desire, naturally did nothing even when it came into contact with people.

From that incident, the management department kept in contact with the bastard and identified his tendencies.

And the result is this.

Even the management department noticed that it was no ordinary Imoogi.

“Does Mr. Kang Jin-woo know why the Imoogi is like this?”

Dayoung Kim asked, but even though I was able to communicate with the Imoogi, I didn’t have much to say.

He… how to say

From nob le mt l. com

Just because he was that kind of guy.

So, without saying anything, I looked at the room where the Imoogi was staying.

How the hell have you been eating here?

He was much fatter than when I found him.

“That’s not a snake, but a ham?”

At the zoo, at least, it was entangled in tree branches.

Now it was to the point where I had to roll on the ground instead of entangling the tree.

At my words, Dayoung Kim also smiled bitterly.

“That part is unique. What should I say? Because I eat a lot. Then I got very chubby… I’m worried if I can ascend to heaven even if I become a dragon.”

ascension?

What is ascending to? It seems to him that this is paradise.

Apparently, he seemed to be doing very well here.

“… Then let’s go next.”

“yes!”

So I stopped taking my eyes off the Imoogi and moved to take care of other things.

After that, Dayoung Kim followed with slow steps.

and two days later.

“Then see you next time!”

In the end, the dispatch work in the management department ended safely.

With Dayoung Kim seeing me off, I went back to the police box.

* * *

That’s how the dispatch work at the management department was finished, and the weekend passed in an instant, the next Tuesday.

I was in front of the police chief’s office again.

“hmm… ”

After only a week, the police chief called me again.

Seo In-na seemed quite puzzled by this.

To me, it was as if it had already been predicted.

Wasn’t the content of the last main quest itself about passing Chairman Lee Sung-min’s test?

So now, you should pass on this mission to me, not a test.

I opened the door to the office and went in.

Then again.

In addition to Police Commissioner Kim Joon-seong, Chairman Lee Seong-min could be seen there.

“… You’re here. Come sit down.”

Kim Jun-seong said, with a much harder face than the last time I saw him.

After being polite to the two of them, I immediately complied.

“Do you have any idea why Inspector Kang was called today?”

From nob le mt l. com

Junsung Kim asked.

I pretended to be worried for a moment, then opened my mouth.

“Do you have anything to entrust me with?”

“You’re too quick to notice.”

In response to my answer, Sungmin Lee looked at me and said.

Kim Junsung also nodded.

“You got it right. Actually, I have a case to entrust to Inspector Kang. However, there is something I need to answer before that.”

Next, Kim Jun-seong confirmed my determination to deal with the case.

That the case could be very dangerous.

And since it should be treated confidentially, it should never be disclosed elsewhere.

Well, those were the stories.

What on earth is it that you lay the groundwork like this?

Even though I had such doubts, I gave a positive answer to his words.

Then, Kim Junseong nodded slowly and finally got to the point.

“Have you heard of xie jiao?”

Of course it was.

I’ve also solved a few cases related to him.

“yes.”

“Recently, a foreign agency colluding with the cult was discovered. But they say that’s the power of large corporations.”

“major company… is it?”

It was a rather unexpected story.

I also wanted to go to finish off the Mine organization that was buried somewhere underground.

Unexpectedly, the giants were involved.

it’s a big company

It seemed like he could understand why Kim Jun-seong had put so much emphasis on security just a moment ago.

“Yes, this is the situation captured by the Chinese group. Previously… Do you know which of my large corporations have been recognized by foreign organizations?”

I nodded.

“Baeksan, Hwain, and the GTW group.”

They were the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd largest conglomerates in Korea, respectively.

Other than this, no foreign institution recognized by the state is recognized, and no large corporation can hire exorcists.

There are several reasons why only three companies were recognized as foreign organizations.

One of them was concerned about the electrification of the exorcist.

If all companies were allowed to establish an exorcist organization, companies with large amounts of capital could unite as one to keep the country in check.

So, those three companies have different political positions.

In the case of Baeksan, it is pro-business, and in the case of Chinese people, it is pro-government. Finally, GTW is neutral.

Well, I don’t know the details of the inside, but at least on the surface, I’ve heard from Seo In-na.

“Among them, Baeksan fell for a cult. Maybe even GTW got involved.”

However, Kim Jun-sung said that all the other two were suspicious except for Hwa-in.

To think that two of the country’s largest conglomerates cooperated with a xie jiao.

It was something that was not easily understood.

They don’t even know what a risky gamble it is.

“Are you sure?”

So I asked.

It was no different from doubting the words of the police chief.

Rather, he smiled happily, as if he was proud.

“You have a good posture. This is the proof.”

He put a file on the table.

And even before opening it, Kim Jun-sung continued.

“Why did a sane conglomerate barely fall for a xie jiao? Would that be odd?”

He said it as if he knew what was on my mind.

It was just a question I had.

I nodded.

“The answer is simple. It can no longer be called a cult.”

He opens the case file on the table, showing a picture.

there… There was a picture of several people surrounding an unidentified white ball of light.

what kind of religion

I was thinking about that, but Kim Jun-sung gave me a more detailed answer.

“They… You created a god.”
