Labyrinth City Mesugaki Pawn Shop

42. Invisible Light (2)

After sequestering Peach Blend in a corner, Floren washed her hands and left alone in the bathroom to take off her top.

Then I slowly turned around and checked the stigmata on her back.

Eight wounds I hadn’t known about before, both Rusalka and Rafi, I was sure they were stigmata as soon as I saw them.

“There’s nothing special about it.”

When I gently stroked it, the very slight, finely convex protrusion did not seem to be much different from the burn.

Traces of God.

8 Pieces.

“Come to think of it, I only died 8 times.”

8 Dice rolls.

The 9th retracement made sense, given that it was achieved by the monkey’s hand without dying.

“Then it increases by one every time you die…?”

The wound on the back is the shame of the swordsman…! I wasn’t going to say the same thing.

After all, there was only one way to confirm it, to die, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t just die.

“Achievement Points”

From noble mtl dot com

A window appeared before my eyes.

-Has Achievements Points 12 /200

-Cumulative Achievements History : Holy Sword Find (100 PT)

Special Quest Words(5PT )

Blight Evasion (5PT)

LV2 Enlightenment (10PT)

LV3 Enlightenment (20PT)

…………..

-Accumulative Usage History : Retry(-16)

Past Regression(-110)

Only 12 points left?

As soon as I thought …, Fireworks exploded in front of my eyes.

[Subdue the first floor boss!]-10Pt obtained!

[Encounter with the Goddess] -40 Points obtained!

[First return to the past!] -10Pt obtained!

[Attention of the void!] -40 Points obtained!

I couldn’t wake up to the banquet of alarms pouring in as if I had waited.

Even if I close my eyes tightly, the flashing alarms are in some ways an unexpected disaster, and I managed to calm myself down after standing like that for a long time, pointing to the bathroom wall.

Still, it seemed that the adjustment of the goddess Theia had an effect. The achievement window moved in accordance with the hand gestures, and the long parts were automatically omitted and only the necessary ones were printed out.

-Has Achievements Points＜ B＞ 112/200

In a way, should we call it fortunate or is it a revelation from God telling us to roll and roll more.

It returned to a similar figure to the previous one.

Looking at the 112 lives, I felt somewhat relieved, and at the same time, an uneasy feeling that somehow something similar to Legarete would happen again passed through my whole body.

“Then maybe the status window…?”

A thought struck her, and she shouted again, ‘Status window!’, But unfortunately nothing happened.

“…I didn’t return this.”

Or is it not there in the first place… I wanted to, but when I looked at the wearing restrictions of the holy sword, rather than not having it, it was still not activated.

Like the reincarnation privilege, it might only appear properly if you get permission from the goddess.

Goddess Theia was always a substitute.

“Then, is this going to work? Achievement Shop.”

Then, a still simple alarm popped up in front of her eyes.

However, this time it was clearly marked differently from the past where it was marked as ㅅㅅ.

Interchangeable List

-100 Achievements Points = Holy 1PT

“Sacred?”

I would understand if it was divine power because it was a special status given to priests, but I couldn’t figure out what the simple two letters of ‘divine’ meant.

It feels like a random box where you don’t know what’s inside before you buy it.

It has been like that in the past, and it will be like that in the future, but I had no intention of investing in such an uncertain thing.

That’s as much as 100 lives!

“Still, what’s not one point of insane s*x?”

She let out a sigh of relief and was about to put her clothes back on when her stigmata reappeared.

For some reason, the scattering of scars, reflected vaguely through slightly open eyes, feels like a part of a painting…

“Ah, no..”

Shaking her head, she brushed off her thoughts and went outside.

**********

Rusalka smiled and shook hands with the head of the Alchemist Association.

“May the name of the Goddess be full of blessings.”

Contrary to the bright smile on her face, her heart was rotting away.

Oh, I’m looking at her heart again.

Why is her waist wrapped around her waist?

Are age and s*xual desire directly proportional?

When will you let go of your wrinkly hands?

As if to be seen by those around her, Rusalka moved on to the next batter, skilfully avoiding the contact with her breasts wrapped around her shoulder.

She also sent greetings from the Magic Tower, but someone other than the city’s branch manager was present.

She was probably one of Hayden’s pupils. When I asked her how she was, she said that she had been out on business at the central mage tower, so she had no choice but to come instead.

She gave me a simple handshake and looked around her, and there were many unexpected people.

Administrative personnel from each country would not normally pay attention to an exhibition like this.

It seemed that there was definitely something in the alchemist guild.

I had no idea what it was, but there’s no way we’re hosting an event of this scale with drugs like those that were announced before…

She was handed a drink of water by her ladies-in-waiting who were walking around carrying a tray, and tried to drink it lightly. Realizing that it was not a glass, she examined the water in her hand.

“Huh?”

It was not a glass, but a bottle, and it was not a regular bottle, but a special container filled with a glass stopper.

I thought I might have gotten it wrong, but when I looked around, everyone was holding the same bottle and looking at it.

[Raditol-Imperial Intellectual Property Office Certification]

It looks no different from ordinary water, but it’s called patent. I tried putting it in my mouth, but it didn’t smell great.

“By the way… It goes well with water?”

There is no such thing as water that doesn’t flow well, but this Raditol water had a different feeling.

So… Do you want to drink some more?

It was only after I took another sip that I realized.

My mouth and throat felt a bit more refreshing.

It’s not easy for pure water, not a beverage, to give you this kind of feeling.

A businessman next to me was drinking another bottle even after emptying one bottle, as if he liked it quite a bit.

“hahahaha, do you like the water?”

“No, this is the first time in my life that I have experienced such cool water. This is how it feels to find an oasis in the middle of the desert.”

A man smiled and shook hands with a businessman who finished drinking a bottle he had just received.

“My name is Sears Bailey. I am just grateful that our guild enjoys drinking the patented water this time.”

“This is Eden Byers. I’m just running a small business. Then, by any chance, the developer of this water…?”

At those words, the eyes of the people around him were immediately focused.

“No, I am just a doctor belonging to the guild. I’m just in charge of promoting this water. Speaking of this raditol, it is our guild’s new flagship product that relieves minor pains in the body and prevents minor illnesses even if you drink it steadily. hahahaha.”

The story of a simple salesperson, but Sears Bailey, who seemed dazzled by the water, was overwhelmingly positive.

When Eden brought up a story related to efficacy, purchasing, and business, Sears pointed to a podium installed in the center of the fairgrounds.

“Ah, it would be better to talk about business through our guild’s official window. And soon he will come.”

“That person?”

“Yes, you are the one who developed various things including Raditol. He is also the pride of our alchemist guild.”

Voices echoed through the magic loudspeakers installed everywhere.

[……The following is Dr. Louis Deviène, who extracted radium, the greatest achievement of this exhibition. I hope everyone cheers with applause.]

A man with half-naked hair and a neatly trimmed mustache and beard stepped onto the podium.

Then, cheers poured down as if they had waited, and the announcement began.

“……This has endless possibilities. The body also discovered not only blood regeneration but also additional effects.”

When Louis Devierne snapped his fingers, the wizard who was assisting next to him enlarged the picture.

“…A complete cure for cancer.”

“My God.”

“Cancer is conquered?”

There were not a few who were dubious about his words.

Because cancer is still an unknown disease.

However, the research results showed clear results.

“Our guild researchers started a clinical trial in which 20 cancer patients were selected and exposed to high-concentration radium light. And as a result, the following results show that cancer cells have decreased by more than 93% compared to before.”

The results of the experiments that followed were very positive.

It is safe to call it a miracle of God.

I used radium for pain and it didn’t hurt at all

I spread radium on my skin and it turned white.

Radium is the direct bread for various diseases of unknown cause

It was a presentation to publicize the strength of radium.

“Then, when will these items be released on the market?”

“When will it be released… hahahaha, there is no question as stupid as that.”

When the person wearing the reporter’s name tag did not understand, Louis Deviène spoke firmly and in a deep voice so that everyone could hear.

“Isn’t it too much to disclose a product that has already been released?”

“That means…”

“Yes, today, no, you can buy it immediately at all Alchemist Guild branches, Alchemy Street, and affiliated shops on the continent. I hope that everyone on the continent, not just a few people, can enjoy the best, best experience, and this miracle of God. Thank you.”

As Louis Deviène bowed his head, thunderous applause erupted.

Everyone who was sitting in the chairs stood up.

“Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to Cardinal Girolamo of the Order of the Goddess for sponsoring this research. Thanks to her Cardinal’s patronage, the goods sold in the western part of the continent will be marked with the guarantee of the Order of the Goddess.”

“What?”

Rusalka was a story I hadn’t heard at all.

If it was something as big as this, she would have heard something, but it was definitely strange that there was nothing.

What she didn’t even hear from Raffy, who put together a lot of information by her side, was that a great deal of confidentiality was in place…

As I approached Cardinal Girolamo, who was surrounded by her people and was smiling hahahaha hoho, those who recognized her rusalka gradually moved away from her.

“Oh, aren’t you a saint? How come you’re not at the exchange today? Heh heh, I guess the goddess is finally looking down on the saintess.”

(Hey, gambler addict, why didn’t you stick around there today and crawled out?)

“It’s just a short-lived entertainment. By the way, I don’t know if Cardinal Girolamo had the money to support such a huge research… I heard that he secretly invested in the downside at the Terdam Exchange a while ago and lost the price of the boat after not lasting even a day… Alas, I shouldn’t tell you. Was it to be? “

(Why is the tongue so long for a bastard who made ignorant bets on other exchanges and then blew away the money to buy a ship?)?)

[f*cking bastard]

[f*ck b*tch]

An unknown current flowed between the two, and the atmosphere began to cool.

“I guess you still have some money left? I don’t think it’s worth a penny or two to invest in a place like this…”

“Wealth is something that always exists and does not exist. If you pay attention to such things, can you be called a priest?”

“Hmm, is that so? These days, the goddess seems to love tulips, but I keep getting bigger… Ah, I’m sorry. For those who don’t like the tulip story…”

Sigh.

The sound of grinding teeth came from Cardinal Girolamo’s mouth, laughing casually, but Rusalka pretended not to notice.

“Anyway, I thought I had good ears in my own way, but I never thought you would do something like this secretly…”

Certainly, a substance that emits a mysterious green light even at night was in demand in many ways.

Various basic medicines including radium, chocolate candies, which are favorite foods, wall paint, and various luxury goods are also planned to be released in cooperation with the guild to release products coated with radium or partially highlighted.

Not bad from a business point of view…

“I wonder if the sponsor just mentioned is Girolamo’s personal sponsorship or…Is it the sponsorship of the church? It’s a church mark, I wonder if I’ve heard it wrong.”

“This sponsorship is based on the common opinion of the three Western Cardinals, myself included, and working-level officials of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. In particular, it was decided to allow the denominational mark to be worn on products. Right now, it is limited to the western region, but soon the church mark will be engraved everywhere on the continent. Of course, this is not a unilateral guarantee. It was agreed that the church would take 8% of the proceeds.”

For some reason, Rusalka felt her backbone pull hard at the cardinal’s proud attitude.

It felt like 10 seconds before falling into the abyss, and besides, those three people who agreed to support were all black cows among black cows who had all the money they had on tulips.

It is a method of lending a name only with a small investment and collecting royalties of up to 8%.

‘It’s okay… I’m nervous…’

8% Royalty.

Considering that typical brand royalties are only 3-5%, this was a fairly excessive level of payment.

Paying twice as much for the name of the church? Those demons of the alchemist guild who are crazy about money?

If it wasn’t for the guild, these crazy cardinals could have been slapped in the head for being tricked into a guarantee scam.

“First of all… you know the intention is good, but the Central Church wants to take a closer look. After all, accepting something new takes some getting used to. And please-“

Rusalka took a look at the Raditol water bottle in her hand.

My throat, which had been filled with a sense of refreshment, was drying up like a rice field in a drought, as if asking for more before I knew it.

“I hope you don’t do anything stupid that goes against the will of the goddess.”

It is enough to make up for the loss caused by Tulip’s investment elsewhere, and even if you blow your money there, only the person who invested will be criticized.

However, the business carried out under the name of the church was different.

It is a kind of guarantee that completely lends the church’s credit.

If an unexpected accident breaks out, the responsibility will also be shared by the church.

Despite the cheers and applause of people from all over the fairgrounds, Rusalka was holding onto Raditol tightly.

“Raditol certified by the Western Church and the Imperial Patent Office! Meet it at the nearest Alchemist Guild store right now!”

Because if I missed it, it felt like it would explode at any moment.

The disaster that originated from ignorance has finally reached out to this land.

**********

From the day after I sent Yerica and Floren, Yan really fixed me as an insider at a pawnshop instead of delivering outside.

To go outside, hire a porter again, no, if that’s the case, there’s no reason to hire one!

“A crappy person only causes trouble when he goes outside, so keep calm and learn what I am doing inside.”

While saying that, I thought I would just clean it like before, but… Surprisingly, he also gave me tips on purchasing things.

”For example… In the case of this gold coin, there is no separate engraved or embossed picture, it is just [XXX] Stamped on something, but the price is three times that of normal gold coins. It’s something that starts with Why?”

“…Because it’s gold coins on a treasure ship?”

When I told him what was displayed in the information window, Yan’s expression reminded me of surprise.

“Uhhh, you know better than you think about a crappy topic. First of all, if you look closely at this [XX] Mark, you will see solid white organic matter. This is the remains of coral. Proof that this gold coin came from the sea. He’s been sleeping in the sea for a very long time.”

“And we exchange them for imperial gold coins. You benefit from the difference.”

“As expected, the person who teaches is excellent, so even with that lousy brain, you can understand well♡”

The information window given by Goddess Theia was working like crazy, rather than being taught by a teacher, but Jan’s conceited appearance wasn’t too bad either.

From noble mtl dot com

Seriously, if she stays that way, she’s a pretty cute girl who seems to have jumped out of a novel somewhere.

“Help♡Help♡”

….Doesn’t he just want to ram his head into it because of that way of speaking?

‘Jalrang’

The bells hung on the blackout curtains rang, announcing the arrival of guests.

“Welcome, welcome to the BSG pawn shop.”

When I looked straight ahead, a woman who seemed to be 180 cm tall was walking there.

With black hair, a slender body, and…A white gown and glasses, it was like a researcher working at a research institute.

And I couldn’t take my eyes off the customer.

The two trumpet-like horns on its head, which indicate that it is not human, are also horns, but what catches the eye more than that is the huge lump of metal that emits light from its neck.

On the other hand, Yan seemed to be accustomed to it and threw short words.

“Where are you a slave? Did the owner tell you to buy something?”

“Dr. Louis Devierne of the Alchemist Guild asked me to find out if the item is in question.”

An object twice as large as the restraint tool Raffy tried to put on my neck, plus a hideous light, it was definitely not an ordinary object.

“Is there any gear or armament made of the scales, teeth, or horns of the rock dragon at the pawnshop?”

“Hmm, a rock dragon. I’m looking for something really rare.”

After closing her eyes for a moment and tilting her head as if she was remembering something, Yan nodded her head as if she had finally remembered.

“Ah, there is. There is an armor made from the scales of a petroglyph. It’s a structure that separates the top and the bottom, but I don’t sell it separately, so it’s 4820 gold coins. Ussuri and 4800 gold coins. The appraisal for the item was personally inspected by the witch Yan Etoria and the central magic tower lord, and in the case of the certificate, if you write down the address to receive it, it can be delivered in about a week via owl express mail.”

About 48 billion won… It was a big deal.

I wondered if that was enough to go to an auction somewhere, but Yan’s expression looked so calm.

As if it was only natural to sell something like this.

“We will contact you as soon as possible.”

After writing down the things Yan said in her notebook, she bowed her head and went outside.

“Slaves…Right?”

“Yes, he is a really rare dragon slave”

“Yongin?”

The Suin system was commonly received as a teammate in games, but Yongin was a story I had never heard of.

Come to think of it, the handle that resembles a trumpet on the side of the head…No, the horns were distinctly different from normal ones.

Is that a dragon’s?

“Was there ever a case where Yongin was treated as a slave after Suin-guk was properly established? Hmm… I don’t think there are very many of them from my memory.”

Yan also seemed to come and go.

“There is no way Yongin could be sold as a slave unless he committed high treason. About 5 times in the last 100 years…? Besides, the strength he has is not average, so he can’t even use normal restraints. Did you see the stuffed neck? In addition to that, there must be a lot of obedient spells implanted all over the body.”

“Do I have to go that far?”

“Assuming that Yongin woman fights against Einheri without restrictions…”

Without thinking a word, Yan nodded.

“Tear the crap in half.”

“Yes?”

“Without anything, in just one second, you can divide heojeop into heo/jeop with both hands.”

I suddenly forgot that I was in this world.

How can an elephant have a muscle density that is high enough to tear a person in half?

“By the way, have you heard of Louis Deviène… Somewhere?”

I must have seen it somewhere… When I was thinking about that, the newspaper caught my eye.

[At the time of Blitz! Raditol, western church-certified by the Imperial Patent Office, containing radium! *Sister products perfume and cosmetics are also available.]

[The Alchemist Guild Fair is booming…! An event of the century that both empires and kingdoms focused on!]

[Where is the limit of radium… Those who conquered 999 diseases with the light of radium!]

[The discoverer of radium! 1:1 Exclusive interview with Dr. Louis Devierne…! The answer to all diseases in human history is here!]

“Ah. It was that chewy.

He was a psychopath who was happily selling radium.
