Chapter 159
159. Wismel 2
Kang Seung-hyun and his party escaped through the secret passage.
I got a lot of information from the hidden room, but new questions increased.
‘I thought the doll workshop wasn’t behind it.’
Kang Seung-hyun was lost in thought with a complicated face.
‘Rather, they were the furthest from Wismel followers.’
If what Harvey said was true, it wouldn’t be strange if the doll workshop didn’t wake up Wismel, but rather interfered with Wismel’s resurrection.
‘There’s no chance he’s lying…’
Seunghyun Kang looked at Harvey.
He said, ‘No… why are you looking at me again?’ With the same uncomfortable face, he avoided Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes.
‘Because I can see clearly inside this child.’
First of all, Harvey can’t do dirty acting.
He was a guy who couldn’t hide his inner feelings properly, probably because he didn’t usually notice others.
‘And you can tell just by looking at the records left by the previous doll studio owners.’
The Doll Workshop is undoubtedly the hostile force of the Wismel Church. There is no way these guys will try to revive the existence of God who has been determined and buried.
“Sir, isn’t that guy cheating?”
“It won’t be.”
Excluding Harvey’s words, the doll workshop has no reason to resurrect Wismel.
“Currently, the group behind it, which is presumed to be the Church of Wismel, is very hostile towards Camar.”
However, since the doll workshop is profiting greatly from trading with the nobles of Camar,
there is no reason to stop losing money.
“It seems that the true culprit is different.”
“Of course I thought he was the culprit…”
“What the hell is the identity of the Wismel Church and what is its purpose?”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were in trouble.
It was a situation where the clues I had caught went back to the starting point.
“You must be trying to stop losing Camar first, right?”
“I will.”
It was clear from this incident.
The reason why the God Wismel Church is hostile to Camar is that the doll workshop sold [Wizmel’s love] to Camar 700 years ago.
“Perhaps [Wismel’s kindness is still being used as a battery somewhere in Kamar.”
“Guy Wismel must be crying in the underworld.”
So, from the point of view of the Wismel Church, Camar and the doll workshop are no different from their parents’ enemies.
“Still, if the records are true, even Kamar won’t give them back. I didn’t steal it, I paid a fair price and got it.”
“Well, from the church’s point of view, it’s probably not something that the doll workshop did and sold the holy relics at will.”
“Could it be that the Church of Wismel intends to fight Kamar?”
“No matter how much Kamar is in a shrunken state, the fledgling church will be wiped out easily.”
If he really intends to fight, he must have prepared some countermeasures.
“What the hell are you guys talking about? The Church of Wismel?”
Harvey, who was listening to the story from the side, asked with a puzzled face.
“Eh? Don’t you know?”
“Right now, the whole town is in trouble because of the Wismel Church.”
“I don’t openly use Wismel’s name.
Surprisingly, Harvey knew nothing about the group of Wismel followers.
“I had no idea. I’ve been busy the past few days.”
It seems that Harvey was stuck in the workshop and did not know the situation of Tracotti.
“You didn’t know?”
“Then do I have to know what the commoners are doing?”
“The whole village has been turned upside down, and you should know that much! Aren’t you a Tracotti noble?
Rebecca argued with a puzzled face, but said,
“I don’t know if there will ever be an adventurer like you scattered around the streets, but a competent and talented aristocrat puppeteer like me is always busy.”
Harvey gave a sarcastic look on his face.
Despite all the insults, his personality remained the same.
“Why did heaven bestow such a wicked person with excellent skills?”
“If you don’t have any skills and even have a bad personality, is it because you really have no answer?”
“It’s plausible.”
Rebecca quietly agreed.
Harvey glared at Rebecca, but soon clicked his tongue and opened his mouth with a thick face.
“Anyway, followers who want to revive the Church of Wismel have appeared? So, how many are there?”
“According to the adventurer’s guild, 1/3 of the residents of Tracotti are possessed by the Order.”
“what?”
Harvey exclaimed in horror.
I guess I never thought it would be that many.
“Even now, the number is increasing.”
“I heard that sooner or later, half of the residents of Tracotti will become followers of Wismel.”
“Half of the inhabitants!?”
Harvey had a very anxious face.
If the Wismel Church is resurrected and the disappeared Wismels reappear, the first group to be destroyed would obviously be the doll workshop.
We have to stop this no matter what, but when it comes to this…”
In addition, Harvey was feeling uneasy for a different reason.
“Is something wrong?
“Come to think of it, the atmosphere in the studio right now is a bit strange.”
Originally, the doll studio was supposed to be crowded with puppeteers in training and people who came to buy dolls, but now it was empty for some reason.
Like a workshop on the verge of collapse.
“There aren’t that many customers, there aren’t that many materials coming into the workshop… and above all, there are too few puppeteers working!”
“According to the Tracotti guide here, it says that there are dozens of talented puppeteers in training at the doll workshop.”
Kim Ho-jeong opened the guide book and said.
However, there are only 7 puppeteers that Kang Seung-hyun and his party have encountered so far, including Ziggs.
“I haven’t looked around all the studio buildings, but I think there are less than 10 people at most.
“What the hell happened?”
“Is that so? Nothing happened!”
Harvey averted his gaze in a cold sweat.
‘This guy is really bad at acting.’
It was the attitude of someone who lied to anyone without even bothering to ask.
“I’m holding on just fine, what will happen to our workshop…
” Master should say right away.”
Jerk, Jeop, Jeop.
Then the door burst open with the sound of footsteps walking down the hallway.
“Isn’t this tracotti doll studio going to close soon?”
The person who opened the door was a man with long auburn hair. He walked towards Harvey
with a very confident smile .
“I heard that you are in bad shape.”
“You you you bastard!”
“Now give up and come under me.”
“I would have told you not to come again. Get out!”
Harvey grabbed the papers from the table and threw them at the man.
Palak! Palak!
However, Harvey was a patient undergoing treatment for lecacothecin poisoning, so he had little strength.
Thanks to this, the man was able to easily dodge the flying papers.
“What kind of workshop
are you running with such a weak body?”
“Iiiik…!”
As an added bonus, he laughed heartily at Harvey.
“Wow, it’s like some kind of drama.”
“It happens often.”
“I think I’ve seen a movie like this before. What’s your name…”
For reference, Kang Seung-hyun and Kim Ho-jung did not interfere and just watched. Because it looked fun.
“You have such a guest.
“We don’t mind and do what we do.”
“sorry. I thought that no one would come to visit Master anymore.
Only then did the man who discovered Kang Seung-hyeon’s group lightly bow his head and apologize. Of course, it wasn’t a sincere
apology, but rather a mockery of Harvey.
“What’s wrong with this guy?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve had a guest, so you should have a leisurely conversation. I’ll be in the way, so I’ll leave for today.”
“Quickly disappear!”
“See you again tomorrow. Master.
He bowed politely and turned his back and left the room.
“It’s unlucky to say honorifics to that guy for the first time. He’s obviously a bad guy.
“The teacher shouldn’t have said that.”
Kim Ho-jeong looked at Kang Seung-hyun with a puzzled face.
“Damn the damn bastard…!”
Harvey was left behind, his face red with anger. He sat down on a chair and covered his face with his hands.
“Wouldn’t it be too trashy to ask outright what this is all about?
“I’m sure that’s the case?”
Leave it alone for now and ask me later.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party left the room, leaving Harvey in a state of disrepair.
“Are you okay, Rebecca?”
Before leaving the room, Kang Seung-hyeon spoke to Rebecca, who was standing in a daze. From the time the auburn-haired man appeared, she had been wearing her hood tightly and lowering her gaze.
“yes? Ah yes! are you okay.”
Rebecca, who came to her senses, smiled awkwardly and followed the two of them.
‘Looks like you have something to do with him.’
Even after entering the workshop, there was a feeling that he was conscious of someone, but he had never tried to hide his face openly like now.
‘It’s obvious no matter what I ask…’
“Everyone is here.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party went outside and encountered Jiggs.
“I was just about to call the meal ready.”
“By the way, it’s time for lunch.”
“Should we eat and think about it first?”
“Come over here.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party followed Ziggs to the restaurant inside the doll studio. It was quite large and spacious, but few people used it.
“Can I not call Mr. Harvey?
“Master, eat alone in your room.”
He hates eating in restaurants because it’s noisy and irritating, so he always has to bring his meals to his room.
He was a teacher who bothered his students in many ways.
“That guy’s personality is really dirty. It’s empty, so what’s noisy?”
“Originally, it must have been full of people.”
Seunghyun Kang said while eating the mushroom salad.
“This is a studio run by the best puppeteer in Tracotti, so there’s no way there aren’t people around.”
That is, of course, under normal circumstances.
Kang Seung-hyun recalled what the auburn-haired man had said earlier.
-The Tracotti doll workshop is going to close soon, isn’t it?
According to the man, the workshop didn’t look like it was going to fail, it was actually going down.
“Actually, Mr. Ziggs, this happened earlier.”
Kang Seung-hyun briefly explained what had happened in the room.
The auburn-haired man’s rude remarks, the angry attitude of Harvey, and so on.
“I would like to hear more about it.”
“You met him.
“Do you know him?”
“Um… I can tell you guys.
Ziggs continued his story with a bitter face.
