“So you are a shaman?”

“That’s right.”

The only food served was some fruit, dried beef jerky, and a light stew.

Even for me, who was hungry, this was a sumptuous meal.

Would you believe me if I told you that dried meat tastes like chicken?

That means he was that hungry.

“You live in the county territory below this? Do you make a living by hunting?”

“Yes. The hunter just quit.”

“Hmm?”

Instead of answering, I waved my bow with its string cut off.

“Shamans can’t do anything else.”

“Huh?”

Paramon still seemed to have curiosity in his eyes, but he didn’t ask any more questions.

Is it the understanding of an old man who has lived a long time?

It was an expression that seemed to indicate that there must be some reason.

“So are you planning to become a shaman? Because you opened that fortune teller?”

“Yes. Well, it won’t be easy…”

Again, there is no profession called a shaman in this world.

In Korea, if you say ‘a brave shaman’, you will find someone somewhere through word of mouth, but that doesn’t happen here.

It had to be built completely from scratch.

And without a single penny.

“He will tell you the future and relieve your resentment?”

“Oh, that’s right. I keep eating…”

It was common sense not to touch a dog while eating.

Although it is not common sense here.

Anyway, it was my first meal in two days, and I couldn’t help but feel annoyed because they kept interrupting me.

Who is it that makes me hungrier?…

“So, what you’re saying is that you see it and receive something called bokchae.”

“Yes yes….”

After roughly answering and slurping down the stew, Paramon got up and headed somewhere.

“You did a great thing for me, so I guess I should give you that reward.”

“Yes…..?”

“If you think about it, am I not your first customer?”

There was an orc named Gulak, so it wasn’t the first time.

But where would you rub an orc cub against a human?

When I was possessed earlier, it seemed like he was the leader of a knighthood.

That means he is a person with quite a bit of money.

They are true guests who cannot be compared to the miserable orcs.

Sigh.

As I expected, Paramon’s pockets were quite deep.

“Fifty silver. This is all I have now. What is it like? Is this enough for the bokchae?”

I suddenly opened my eyes wide.

50 silver.

It literally means 50 silver coins.

In this world, one silver coin was worth about 100,000 won in Korean money.

Isn’t it more expensive than you think?

This is because silver is not a metal that can be found by just digging in the ground.

“Oh…fifty silver?”

It was an incredibly large amount.

If you have that, it will be much easier to open a fortune telling shop.

As expected, he was a big-hearted person, unlike the orcs who were always talking about trauma.

This must be the dignity of the race.

“Enough is enough!!!”

“Hmm…then I’m glad.”

When I picked up the pocket, I realized that it was heavy and very reassuring.

Is this a weight that makes you laugh?

“Hehehe…. Sir, is there anything else you need? Do you want to know the future?”

It was a service for first-time customers.

Since I had already received a lot of Bokchae, it wasn’t a problem to take another look at the new store.

“Hehe….I’m already over 90 years old.”

“Yes?”

The reason I asked back was simple.

The old man named Paramon looked too young to be over ninety.

She had skin without a single wrinkle and even had fair brown hair.

The old man’s body was also swollen as if his muscles were poking through his clothes.

As I felt while shaking the bell earlier, he was a person with a big soul.

He must have some great talent.

“If you live this long, what kind of future can you be curious about?”

Paramon said bitterly.

“It will change depending on how you live….”

That was correct.

Because I worked hard to relieve my resentment so that I could live well.

“Anyway, I support your future. I received great help.”

“Thanks to you, I think the future will be easy.”

I received a bigger reward than I expected.

I never thought I would receive it, and I never thought about asking for it.

Because the Master, who is all gods, always told us to stay away from material desires.

Even if you don’t like it, it happens?

However, I couldn’t not take what was given.

Because I have to eat right now.

“Now that I’ve finished eating… I’ll go.”

“Are you ready to go?”

“Because I have to open a fortune teller!”

“I see… I’ll see you again if we meet again.”

It should have been nice to see it again, but it wasn’t anything good.

What would you do if you were in a relationship with a shaman?

And most relationships between shamans are forged by gods.

“If you want to be in a relationship with me…hmm…no.”

I put the money in my small bag and got up.

I planned to sell the hunting supplies in my bag as soon as I returned.

Because I won’t be able to use it anyway.

The steps I took after passing the statues and coming out of the road were very light.

“Oh, by the way, I forgot to say hello again.”

Paramon wasn’t the only person who had to say hello.

I don’t know why I was so worried, but there were still souls left.

Nod.

I lightly lowered my head and raised my head and ended up laughing.

Because the soul that had no arms had arms.

It was an arm that looked exactly like the one sculpted by an old man named Paramon.

“It might not be a bad idea to sell a shaman…?”

***

After sending Chris away, Paramon got up and lightly packed his luggage.

“This is a young man I like for the first time in a while…”

He was a mysterious young man.

Did you say his name was Chris?

“A person who communicates with souls…lol…”

Paramon, who was leaving the roughly constructed house, took a look at the statues.

“Did I tell you to be happy? I’ll give that a try….”

With even more relieved eyes, Paramon took his steps again.

Paramon, who was walking along the road, stopped while passing a statue.

A knight who was born without one arm but was greater than anyone else.

Chris’ voice passed through my mind.

– What is the use of shaving off the arm of a person who has no arm?

“Hmm…. Should I cut it?”

After thinking for a moment, Paramon shook his head and continued on his way.

“It’s been a while since I returned to my territory…”

Since I’ve been wandering around my whole life, I thought I’d like to return to my territory for the first time in a while.

My son may be doing great, but it was still home.

“Hmm?”

Paramon picked something up from the floor.

“Huh…I thought you were greedy for money, but that wasn’t the case.”

It was the money bag I gave to Chris earlier.

Seeing that the tied entrances were undone, it seemed like they had left them as is, except for a few.

It must have been placed in the middle of the road for you to discover.

“Approximately about five silver.”

I was able to see what a person was like just by talking to him for a short time.

A young man who knows how to help others and is not even greedy for money.

A young man who had an unprecedented ability to communicate with spirits but did not think much of it.

He was a young man I liked more and more.

“You said you were making a fortune teller, right? I need to help.”

Oh Silvero was not enough to repay the favor he had received.

Paramon reached into his bag and took out a small crystal ball.

Suuuu-

Mana flowed through the fingertips, and a human face appeared along with a small light from the crystal ball.

“….Nah, how are you? It’s none other than meeting a young man I like.”

As he looked into the crystal ball, Paramon’s feet moved again.

“They say you live on your son’s territory.”

***

Sizzling.

The meat on the skewer was cooking deliciously.

Finally, I get to eat real meat.

But swearing continued to come out of my mouth.

“What the fuck…..You fucking idiot….”

I couldn’t help but curse.

The money I received from Paramon has disappeared.

By the time I broke through the barrier and checked my bag while walking, it was already a long time late.

The entire pocket was gone, leaving only the silver.

I hurried back and tried to open the barrier and enter, but even that was impossible.

No matter how much I shook the bell, the barrier did not open.

Even if I danced with the bell like a crazy person and prayed to the bell, it was still the same.

Do you know what this means?

This means that only five silver coins are allowed as a bond.

“Where is the thing that was given but taken away?…”

It seemed like the god I was connected to did not allow more than Osilver.

In this way, my entire wealth was reduced from 50 silver to 5 silver as I was subjected to the world’s cruelty.

“Shaman Palja is not bad….a plague…”

I moved my hand again while watching the meat being cooked.

I was holding a fairly large wooden board in my hands.

It was the sign of a new fortune teller shop.

– Let me see your fate. 5 Cooper.

“It’s about 5,000 won…is it too cheap?”

It’s something that can’t be helped.

People who have never even seen a new store would pay high prices for it.

I can’t believe I can only earn this much with this great ability….

“If it were Korea, I would have made a lot of money…”

Now that I have money to live on for the time being, I will try to start business tomorrow and make a decision.

Anyway, now it was time to eat.

It is time to enjoy the taste of meat in a fantasy world.

But my meal never came to fruition.

The moment you reach out to pick up the meat.

Clap –

Clap –

It became noisy outside.

“What is this again?”

It was the sound of several people’s feet.

Judging by the sounds of armor that can be heard, it is presumed that they are soldiers and knights.

Soon a loud noise was heard outside the house.

– Receive the lord’s orders!!

“Hmm?”

What do you want me to get?

The lord of this place is a count and I am a commoner.

The count never singles out a single commoner and gives him instructions.

I quickly opened the door and stopped looking.

Knights and soldiers filled the front of the house.
