How to Live as an Illegal Healer

481. The Cracks of Tehes

“Past plot. Alek Drit, an extremely ordinary detective from the Azul continent, was attacked by a stranger while walking on the road with his 20-year-old best friend, Picaros, and the shock brought back memories of his previous life that he was a 27-year-old Korean, Ma Cheol-hyun, who lived on Earth… .”

“It wasn’t like that.”

After subduing the members of the Underworld who attacked Picaros, Alec decided to ask them for details.

“hey! So what the heck is that artifact? Why did you send a killer to assassinate a weak and good citizen like me?”

“Hey my friend? A good citizen does not betray others.”

“I am a man of conscience in our industry.”

“How can you say that with your own mouth? Watch me and learn.”

‘It’s Yoo Yoo Sangjong.’

‘Crazy duo….

‘

“So when are you going to answer the question?”

The guild members, who watched for a while, cautiously opened their mouths.

“Did you say your name was Ma Cheol-hyun?”

“No, I am Alek Drite. I don’t know a guy like that.”

“…”

They held back what they wanted to say, ‘crazy concept-cheeks’, and got to the point.

It was a really strange guy, but it was true that he was too strong to

be ignored.

“okay. To protect the peace of Azul Continent.”

‘Ha concept-chung bastard.’

“…You guys have a rough idea, right? Right now, our guild is killing Tehes.”

While other dimension movers were led by GGG’s aggro to leave the contaminated area, most members of the Underworld remained in the contaminated area, except for some dispatched to Hind Village to collect information.

“Because of that strange artifact?”

“As I said beforehand, the artifact itself is normal. You know because you’ve been appraised, right?”

“But why do I feel such a strange aura?”

“I don’t know.”

“Not Nandle.”

“We didn’t even know there was such an energy there.”

As Picaros guessed, the Underworld did not know that such a strange energy could be felt from the artifacts they brought.

In the meantime, he had visited dozens of appraisers and entrusted them with appraisal requests, but Picaros was the first to distinguish between general artifacts and those artifacts.

“…But since the ingredients are like that, there’s nothing strange about feeling that kind of energy.”

As one guild member covered his face and muttered lowly, the other guild members looked at each other and opened their mouths as if determined.

“That artifact was ‘made’ by our guild.”

“produce? Will that happen?”

“To be precise… I discovered a place that produces artifacts.”

roughly a month ago.

As usual, the Underworld Contaminated Zone capture team was wandering around Tehes to collect items and materials.

“Then, by chance, while investigating the area near the swamp under the black water, one of the guild members asked why the crack? They say they found something like a black hole.”

“Cracks are cooler, so let’s make them cracks.”

“Is fashion important?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

The Underworld has visited Tehes hundreds of times and visited the swampy area under the black water dozens of times, but the rift had never been seen before.

At that timing, the monsters attacked, and the capture team left behind the cracks and started fighting the monsters with the idea of ‘let’s first catch and investigate the monsters’.

“Then, the corpses of the monsters that were blown away by our attack were absorbed through the rift.”

“Absorbed?”

“Is it correct to say that I was sucked in? Imagine disappearing into a rift anyway.”

“Then can you imagine it as a vacuum cleaner?”

“don’t do it.”

And not long after, light emanated from the crack, and a small round bead rolled out of it.

“For now, that was the first artifact our guild produced.”

“Oh, that’s great.”

“If the story is true… a revolution in the artefact industry?”

That would be the case. Currently, the only way to obtain artifacts is to hunt monsters, but the probability of obtaining artifacts by catching normal monsters is very low.

And among the artifacts that can be obtained with such a low probability, the probability of an advanced artifact is even lower, so the value of the artifact goes up endlessly.

However, as I just said, if monster corpses can be turned into artifacts, it means that a large quantity of supplies will become incomparable to now.

“If so! It means that the ransom of our relic appraiser, the only talented person who can appraise unidentified relics, will go up!”

“I’m going to cheat you that much.”

“Isn’t there a need for character education when selecting true relic appraisers?”

The Underworld guild members looked at Picaros with a bewildered face and continued talking.

“Anyway, the strategy team also said, ‘This is a jackpot,’ so they threw it with excitement. About a few hundred?”

The problem was that there were only a handful of relics obtained from the fuss, and all of them were trash relics that were too small to be worth appraising.

As it is rather a loss to appraise these things, they are usually ground and used as material for making items, so they are not treated as relics.

“what. It’s the height of complete inefficiency.”

“In that case, it would be more profitable to dismantle monster corpses and sell them as materials.”

Of course, the strategy team was greatly disappointed and said that they started fighting with themselves.

It was also because there were people who were so focused on hunting monsters that they wasted magic potions and their weapons and armor were damaged.

“Then… it happened.”

While fighting each other saying it’s your fault or mine, one of the team members who was pushed away had a really bad luck, and an accident occurred when his foot tripped on a rock root and fell backwards.

But the most unfortunate thing was that there was a crack right behind him.

“Wow…”

“He’s really unlucky.”

Until then, only dead monsters were thrown in, so he didn’t know, but then he said he learned what happens when a creature enters a rift alive for the first time.

“With a tearing scream…”

“Do I have to describe it? Just skip it!”

“okay.”

For reference, if Kang Seung-hyun were here, he would have dismissed the request and listened to everything in detail.

“After that, a bloody artifact popped out of the crack.”

The relic was so large that it couldn’t be compared to the garbage made from the corpse of the previous monster, so the capture team realized how to properly use the rift.

If you push a living creature.

More precisely, a space that transforms humans into artifacts when pushed into them.

“I tried it with a living monster just in case, but only garbage came out like when putting a corpse in.”

“Has anyone ever put their hands on it?”

“Are you there?”

“If you ever lose your hand, no one will make it for you, so why are you doing such crazy things?”

“…”

Alec tried to answer something, but decided not to.

“Anyway, after the raid team returned to the guild room, they reported to the guild the place where they found the crack and everything that happened there.”

And the Underworld executives didn’t just bury the crack at the end of the meeting…

‘So… I can print artifacts?’

‘That means no one but you and our guild knows that, right?’

‘Actually, I’ve always thought there were too many humans on this land. Let’s go to “Tar ○S”!’

Rather, it is said that he was very happy, praised the attack team very much, and started actively using the rift.

“Oh, did you sacrifice the guild members? You are crazy!”

“Can it be?”

It is said that the prey of the Underworld did not cover everything from easygoing citizens of the Azul Continent to dimension movers who lost their way in the contaminated area.

“Once they get caught, they push them into the cracks, grab them and put them in, and in severe cases, they kidnap them from other areas…”

People who were dragged in without knowing why or who followed them thinking they were giving directions all screamed in agony. turned into a bloody relic.

“Honestly, at that point, it didn’t seem like the purpose was to acquire artifacts, but rather the act of turning humans into artifacts seemed to be enjoying itself.”

Of course, there were people in the guild who felt uncomfortable with the situation, but they were few and far between, and I couldn’t say it because I thought I would get ‘cracked’ if I said it.

“Oh wait. So those artifacts… were they made by killing people?”

“That’s how it is.”

“Aww!”

The moment he heard that, Picaros freaked out and started rubbing his hands with a handkerchief.

“Somehow disgusting! no wonder! Do you come to our store to sell that stuff? Hey you rotten bastards! Are you still human?”

“You ate it again!”

“Even if you eat your back, you won’t eat the corpse? Did you just lose money?”

“You’re trembling with the swindler subject!”

While Picaros and Underworld Takari squabbled, another person scratched his head and continued talking instead.

“For reference, all the guild members from other regions are flocking to Tehes because of this incident.”

In the aftermath of GGG’s massive aggro, all the dimension movers in Tehes disappeared.

Underworld would not want to miss the opportunity to monopolize Tehes.

“In the past, I only targeted dimension movers who had fallen out of the group because I was aware of others and had problems with numbers, but now…

”

Alec, who nodded slowly, opened his mouth with a smirk.

“But can I confide this important information to an outsider?”

“I don’t think that’s something a person who was robbed of information while chatting at a jajangmyeon restaurant would say.”

“I’m fine. Because it’s Alec.”

“…Anyway, at the point where I couldn’t catch that appraiser, I’m out.”

“If we go back like this, will you just leave the end like us? We will be ‘cracked’ too.”

So far, the only case in which a guild member has been ‘cracked’ is the unlucky guy at the beginning, but originally, the lowest members of each group are less than disposable tissues.

Especially in a situation where the guild officials are mad with madness like now.

“So, I’m going to try gambling once it’s happened like this.”

That was the reason they confided in the identity of the artifact, the guild situation, and even the location of the rift.

“On the way to Tehes, destroy our guild.”
