by adminI realized that maybe those people were going crazy because of me, and I laughed at how meaningless all my exclamations had been.
I was about to tell these people to trust me and stop acting wild, but I stopped myself.
This is because I realized that this secretly plays a significant role in filling my self-esteem.
‘If I didn’t believe in my own abilities, how could I have done that? Because I have the abilities, because I believe in myself, I can do that.’
The belief that no matter what wound you have, He will be able to heal you.
That belief was both joyful and burdensome.
‘I really need to get stronger.’
I had to work hard to get my mind straight and grow up so I wouldn’t kill all those people.
At a time when I was feeling a new realization.
Before we knew it, the battle was over and it was time for rewards.
“The eyes seem expensive. And since the venom glands were removed, there must be a place where they can be used if we study them.”
The process of selecting what can be of value from the bodies of killed monsters is extremely important.
Wouldn’t it be a shame to work so hard to kill someone and then just throw away something so expensive because you don’t know how to look at it properly?
It was foolish to regret it later when you found out it was expensive.
That’s why the expressions on the faces of the team members collecting monster byproducts were extremely cautious.
In particular, since poisons that rapidly lower the temperature were uncommon, it seemed that they were meticulously taking care of the venom glands.
‘It’s a problem because it’s so lethal, but if we could reduce the effect a bit, wouldn’t it be quite useful as an antipyretic?’
Of course, it would be a waste to use such a rare poison as an antipyretic, so we would have to find other ways to make it effective.
While on one side they were passionately dismantling the monster, on the other side people were busily searching around.
What they were doing was finding pieces.
‘You shouldn’t be greedy for small fortunes and miss out on big ones.’
Once you get the map that leads to the secret room, you can quickly find your way by going straight.
That’s why finding pieces of the map was an essential task.
“Found it!”
And then a team member who had been searching around lifted a piece of the map in one hand and shouted.
“No, why is the map in a place like this? It’s ridiculous.”
I don’t know where he came from or what he was doing, but that team member’s body was covered in dust.
Judging from the way you complain, it seems you didn’t find it in an easy place.
“Where have you been to get like that?”
“I was in a nest with eggs. I found it while trying to break the eggs.”
“Wow, what I found is even more amazing.”
“That’s right. There are a lot of balls of yarn inside the nest that they pulled out. Don’t you think they’ll be worth a lot?”
It seemed that he had brought not only map pieces but also other by-products.
“Think about it. What if you fish with this?”
“Oh?”
“Doesn’t it look good? It won’t dissolve in water, right?”
“Okay, I’ll try that later. Can you give me a few?”
“There are plenty here, so take them.”
While the team members who returned the map pieces were chatting.
The discovered map appeared before me naturally.
“I think the leader could just do it.”
“Since the priest has come this far, wouldn’t it be better to finish it off neatly?”
“Well, is that right?”
First, I stared at the discovered map fragment.
I had to take a closer look at where the path led.
We carefully chose the location because this map might not be the one we were looking for.
“Unfortunately, no. But it is a piece of map we need.”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the map we were desperately looking for.
But the good news is that the piece of paper we found was helpful in finding the piece of paper we were looking for.
“This is a map showing the route to get here.”
“Yes. It’s the fork in the road we saw earlier. And when we matched it up like this, we went in the right direction. The other road leads to the 5th floor.”
To other people, this path might feel like a dud.
If you keep going like this, you’ll reach a dead end unless you look at the secret map.
Everyone couldn’t hide their joy at the situation finally coming to an end.
“I hope that place is where we thought it was.”
“Rest and get moving right away.”
It would be nice to find more pieces of the map, but if the path was revealed to this extent, it seemed okay to move by relying on one’s senses.
After collecting all the spider corpses and taking a proper rest, we moved with everyone’s consent.
“Even though I caught so many, spiders keep coming out.”
On the way, we encountered various types of spiders.
Even though we killed so many, there were still spiders popping out quite often.
However, since there weren’t that many people there, we were able to clear them out and walk away without any major problems.
“From here on out, there is no map.”
“But you’re still going the same way, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
In fact, I think it’s about time we see their traces.
If this is really a secret room created by ‘heretics’.
Since it was probably a trace that ordinary people wouldn’t see, I didn’t say anything and just looked around carefully while fighting.
I didn’t even tell Sister Melody, but she was looking around carefully to see if she was thinking the same thing as me.
“I think I should take a quick look over there.”
“Ah!”
Then, I thought I found it as Sister Melody had said, so I moved to the place she had pointed out.
“Here it is! You found the right place.”
As expected from a heretic inquisitor, he is as quick as a ghost in finding traces of heretics.
“Let’s investigate this a bit more. There might be a way in.”
If you follow the normal path, you won’t find the way to the secret room.
The trace of the heretic that Sister Melody found was a painting on the wall.
I drew a picture of what they did here.
I felt a sense of discomfort as I looked at the picture of the altar with the devil drawn on it and the heretics kneeling and praying underneath it.
“You drew this so well.”
“What do you have, priest?”
My teammates started to take interest in where I was.
It was understandable that he was holding a torch to a wall that was too dark to see, so it was understandable that he was curious.
“If you look at the wall here, you can see traces of what heretics have done.”
“Heresy?!”
We are delighted to hear that traces of heretics have been found in the place we are looking for, perhaps because it is related to them.
Then, as if he had said “Oh no,” he looked at us and asked.
“Isn’t this a good thing? That’s where they were, after all.”
“Yes, that’s good. I think this picture is a hint.”
“Hint?”
“If we just follow the road, we won’t get to where we’re looking for. If you look at this picture carefully, you can see which direction it’s pointing.”
I had to look into it a bit more, but the moment I saw the picture, I knew that this was the only hint I had to find my way.
“Can I pass this on to the leader?”
“Of course. I was going to do it, but I would appreciate it if you could do it for me.”
“Yes. I’ll bring the leader.”
The team member disappeared to call for the leader, and soon a crowd of people gathered.
There were two people: the leader, Princess Rasiel, and a wizard.
“I heard you discovered a mural.”
“Yes. This way.”
They looked at the mural with interest.
“The mural is horrible, perhaps because it was made by heretics. Isn’t this a severed head?”
“Yes, I think so.”
There was also a mural depicting a heretic praying to a shrine while placing five human heads on a magic circle, and another depicting heretics arrogantly leaning on canes on top of paintings of gold and silver treasures.
It seemed like propaganda that if heretics came under the evil spirit, they would be able to enjoy great power and wealth.
The spider monster that frequently appeared here could also be found in the mural.
The story was that they had subdued spider monsters and were using the power of the evil god to control the spiders like their limbs.
“Would you like to look these people in the eye?”
“Huh? Everyone is looking to one side. This guy is even bending his back to look.”
What I found more important than understanding the content of the mural was the perspective of the heretics.
If their gaze was focused on one place, it couldn’t be meaningless.
“Yes. I think we should investigate where the heretics are looking.”
“Let me check it right away.”
The leader immediately called the guides and told them to investigate the direction the mural was pointing.
Meanwhile, Sister Melody was incredibly focused on the mural.
He was interpreting the text that the heretics had drawn like a picture.
“How is it? Does it make sense?”
“It took me a while to figure out what you were trying to say, because there were some words that aren’t used these days, but I could tell what you were trying to say. And the priest was sharp.”
“Is your guess correct, Priest?”
“Yes.”
“Ohhㅡ”
“As expected, our priest is different.”
Exclamations of admiration erupted from those around them at Sister Melody’s words.
“Was there anything else besides that?”
“You don’t necessarily need to know the other details. They’re just proudly listing the things they’ve done.”
As soon as I heard them boasting about all the things they had done, I understood why they had such a bad expression.
“Go and see.”
Sister Melody walked away, as if she was no longer interested in the mural.
We all walked together to where people’s eyes were focused on the mural.
The guides we had sent earlier had arrived at the place before us.
“Has something come out?”
