SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

4.

“Nuh, Nuh, but · · Please come in. ”

The pharmacist walked me through the well.

I felt dizzy inside the store as if it had been swept away by a storm.

“Really leaky · · · ·. ”

It was not a lie.

The glass bottles were broken and scattered across the floor. Bookshelves spill out and the books collapse. The dust was a bonus.

What a mess.

- Wow.

I admired the man behind it.

- I've been told I don't clean up a lot in my life, but my young wife is one step ahead of me. Hygiene management is very reliable. Hey, do you really want to eat this lady's elixir?

“Hey, are you really going to give me a quest for 20,000 gold teeth · ·? ”

The courier and the pharmacist asked at the same time as if they were pressed.

I made a bitter smile.

“If you don't believe me, should I pay upfront? ”

“Well, you don't have to. ”

The apothecary waves his hand and stops.

“· · No. I'll pay upfront, if I can. ”

The pharmacist had a completely red face. I felt ashamed of myself for saying this. Of course, the least courtesy you can ask for is bad money.

“Take as much money from my vault as you need. I'll tell you about it in advance. ”

“As much · · · as needed. ”

The apothecary mutters dainty.

“Yes, of course, my property is not unlimited. I'd appreciate it if you could fit the budget inside 20,000 gold. ”

“Uh, him. What medication are you referring to · ·? ”

I wonder if the budget was too big to be scared. The pharmacist was happy on the one hand, but on the other hand, his complexion was uneasy.

“Excuse me, I can't make drugs. Because of my personal beliefs, only drugs are really · · ·. If you're here for a referral, I'll refuse. ”

“Oh.”

I accepted.

‘It's a clumsy tree, but it will grow into an alchemical tree later. ’

Tens of thousands of gold were coming and going, but not many humans were able to resist. Especially if his shop just crashed. Nevertheless, he insisted that he would not manufacture drugs alone.

This pharmacist appeared weak, but his pride was very strong.

“Haha. Don't worry, it's never drugs. ”

“Ahh · · ·. Well, that's a relief. What specific medication are you referring to? ”

“Hmm."

I looked at the messenger. After entering the store, the messenger kept his mouth shut to see if he liked something. Only after I caught my attention did I sigh.

Well, good. You don't seem like a very good kid, but I'll tell you the recipe.

It will be.

- Listen up. Rabbit pig liver, balloon cat eyes, desert worm skin · · ·.

“I'll tell you about it now. Rabbit pig liver, balloon cat eyes, and · · ·. ”

I recited the ingredients of the elixir along the trail.

“Oh, please wait! I'll take your note! ”

The pharmacist wrote down the recipe for cowardice. 23 different ingredients. The longer the recipe, the more serious the pharmacist's expression became.

- Well, that's enough of that stuff. How you make it is entirely up to the pharmacist.

“This is all the ingredients I need. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The pharmacist quietly lowered his notebook. Bite your nails.

“It's a combination that maximizes the · · · reflexes when mixed like this. The relaxing side, not the relaxing side. No, if we put it together here, maybe we should say Awakening rather than nervous. ”

- Huh?

The messenger looks at the apothecary.

Regardless, the apothecary continued to mutter.

“It's a very high-quality combination. Ah, I may be mistaken for ingredients, but · · · Not by drying or refining the ingredients separately, but by attaching them together in the freshest condition possible? ”

- Yeah, but...

I nodded.

“That's right. ”

“I knew it! Usually the skin of desert worms has a little bit of poison in it. One of the ways to neutralize this is to take the liver of a rabbit pig, and it works according to the way you take it. ”

The pharmacist was excited to talk. Earlier, the girl who was groaning and stuttering disappeared, and now the pharmacist in front of me was no different.

Yes, there were these kinds of people in the world.

‘He's a bad craftsman, but he's good at it. ’

But one day, he will run with power to his favorite area and achieve great results. I didn't hate this [expert].

“Can you have it ready in a few days? ”

“Ah.”

I ended the conversation that seemed to be going on indefinitely. Then the apothecary blinked as if he had regained consciousness. He seemed to have fallen into his own world and been chatting.

“I'm sorry! It's been a long time since I've seen a beautiful combination! ”

“No, thank you. How many days will it take? ”

“Just enough money · · · I, I can have it ready in four days. I can usually give it to you faster, but I also need to get new equipment and tools. ”

Four days.

“You can wait as long as you want. ”

It took him basically a year to get his meds before he came back.

Four days was not even on the waiting axis compared to him.

- Hey, I can't admit it yet.

Even after clearing up the story and leaving the shop, the messenger kept grumbling.

- There's a lot of good, bad people. It's like those kids grow up on drugs. Ewwwww. I'm going to throw away my money!

“So where did you learn that recipe? ”

- It's a combination of my hands. The best and best elixir I've ever made by drinking all kinds of poison myself. It's a precious elixir in your world you can't drink even if you want to!

I laughed bloody.

“That pharmacist praises you because it's a very high-quality combination. ”

- · · · · · ·.

“Trust me, I can tell the value of the combination just once. Ten years from now, I'll be the tallest person in Alchemy. ”

The messenger clamps his mouth. He looks like a giant toad without fail because he's so bad-mouthed.

- You just insulted me, didn't you? Yeah? Yeah.

“This ghost is now trying to catch a living person. ”

I'm such a jerk.

It's unnecessarily quick to notice.

5.

Four days passed quickly.

Meanwhile, the apothecary took the gold coins from my vault. A person comes from the scene and says, "Are you sure you're okay? ’I made sure, but I told him to leave it alone.

No matter how much money you spend, it's like getting medicine from the alchemist in the world.

- Zombie, shall we bet?

“Oh, what else? ”

- She'll just run away with the money. I'm sure. I don't know anything else, but it's one hell of a sight for sore eyes. The girl was awarded the Great Thief when I saw her! Kill yourself, zombie Kim! Kill yourself four times and go back four days!

Of course, I couldn't see a soul for a ghost.

Lunch is only the fourth day.

The pharmacist packed the elixir and came to my accommodation.

“I'm sorry. I wanted to give it to you as soon as possible. The combination is later than I thought · · ·. ”

“No, I promised I'd make it in four days. That's fine.”

A total of 3 boxes of elixir made by the pharmacist.

When I said drink it three times a day, it was like 30 days.

If he used a store he knew, he could only get two days at most. 15 times more efficient.

‘Even the medicine will work better. ’

This is how you spend your money.

I felt relieved and smiled at my mouth.

“Hey · · · ·. ”

“Yes?”

“Gee, it's weird to ask this now. Why did you send such an expensive request to a nameless pharmacist like me? ”

The apothecary pinched his finger.

“No, of course I'm confident in my skills. With the combination you requested this time, I think there are only two people in Babylon who can really understand and build this. · · However, people treat me like a freak. ”

“Hmm.”

That's why I entrusted this man with making elixir.

That was unquestionably because the pharmacist in front of him was a great genius. The leader of the Alchemy Guild. There was also a calculation that he wanted to connect with someone who would grow up to be the owner of a large guild someday.

But...

‘But that's not all. ’

Before I come back from 4,000 days.

This is the story of the salt that set the slums on fire. At that time, the woman arrived on site sooner than anyone else and commanded the fire site, even though she was the top ranker.

While helping people, Alchemist Seong-ju muttered.

- The man with the salt, I don't like him.

- Would it be a little offensive? It's not polite to talk back in a place like this. But I think she needs to meet someone better.

Someone who knows the real nature of salt.

‘Maybe he punched him with pure intuition without any evidence. ’

Even so, this pharmacist has an excellent eye.

Good skills, good enough to rush right into an accident, and good enough to recognize a psychopath. If we don't get along well with someone like this, we'll lose a lot.

I opened my mouth.

“You just seem nice. ”

“Yes?”

“I helped you because you seemed nice. Well, if I hadn't helped you, you'd have grown up on your own. If good hunters like us succeed, we'll have to help each other later, won't we? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“We can't just let some psychopath succeed. I'm furious. Let's do it, too. ”

I told her exactly how I felt without lying. I couldn't be more honest. It's up to the other person to know how to take my word for it.

The pharmacist looked at my face and said,

“· · Yes. Yeah, well, you have to succeed to change the world. ”

Sounds like he's making up his mind.

“Thank you, sir! Like you said, I'll do the same! ”

The apothecary clenched his fist.

“Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything else! Your quest is always our top priority! ”

“Then I thank you. ”

We shook hands and parted with smiling faces.

Unfortunately, my smile didn't last long.

It's been a long time since I've seen a guy say he's a good hunter. I've never seen anyone take it for granted before. Hey, are you crazy? Tsk, tsk. You're out of your mind.

“· · · I know I said something embarrassing, so let's practice. ”

The next day.

We head for the hunting grounds. I packed enough sleeping bags and elixir in my backpack.

What's different is that he came to the hunting ground on the third floor, not the hunting ground on the second floor.

Monsters - like Goblins and Orcs - have been spreading around and around too much for end hunters like me.

I looked at them from afar and asked.

“What do we do now? ”

- Just take the elixir first.

I nodded.

And without a doubt, I swallowed, swallowed, and drank the elixir from the warming bottle.

“Hmm."

The flavor itself was ordinary.

I even added honey to the lemon aroma and it was a little tasty.

I imagined the taste of ginseng extract, but I was fortunate.

“Ugh · · ·!? ”

Biceps.

My heart beat stronger than usual.

At first, I thought I was mistaken, but I wasn't. I felt a cold sweat rushing down my back. The strange thing is that every single drop of sweat flowing down my back is starting to become very perceptible.

What is it?

Biceps.

It wasn't just a sweaty drop. It was a touch of air wrapped around your fingers. Pressure. the feel of the ground on which the soles of the feet are stepping. The time it took for my eyes to blink once seemed like 30 seconds long, very slow.

“This · · · · case · · · ·. ”

- It's an elixir effect.

While everything was slow, only the voice of the messenger was the same as usual.

- Extremely slow time to process the phenomenon. Well, it's comforting to think it'll help you feel longer than ever. I hate to admit it, but she's quite the potion-maker.

It was horrible.

A single strand of hair felt alive, hundreds of thousands of hairs, all twitching. I could even feel the blood vessels of the eyeballs twitching. If they did not know it, they would have mistaken it for poison, not elixir.

- Can't you feel it?

“What · · · · go · horse · · · · ·? ”

- Slowing down your heart.

Biceps.

There was something. No, something was flowing. Something wasn't blood.

It was much softer than the blood, much thinner than the blood stream. But something must have flowed through my whole body. The flow was slowly spreading through the heart.

I've never felt more clear in my life.

- That's what's coming.

The messenger said:

- Every hunter who enters the tower has an order in his system. You just live without realizing it every day. How consciously can we use this error, in short, how freely can we use it? That decides the battle.

The messenger smiles.

The laughter in my head continued for more than 20 seconds. Obviously, the messenger laughed for only a short while, but somehow my consciousness felt it in 20 seconds.

I feel fatigued if I stay sober for a while.

- Usually in this condition, you're either trained alone or you're used to the slow flow of error by turning the scaffolding.

In it.

Something huge approaches me.

- That's gonna take too long, right?

Kuang.

Footsteps.

The sound of the footsteps sounded long, just like the sound of laughter. Barely raising your head, you see a large orc approaching me.

- If you're not as talented as you are, you have to suffer.

Goddamn it.

If you don't want to get sick, use your error, zombie! You have to practice with practice! Why don't you ruin your body if you don't die anyway?

“This ear · · · god, jung · · · horse · · · ·! ”

I can't hear what you're saying because it's steamed.

The messenger blew up the paan barn again.

Or kill yourself. Oh, so the kill count is up again at 4,000. Then Grandpa Marcus is gonna be so sweet to you, isn't he?

Oh, I see.

My partner was a real bad guy.
