"So now you're banging with the Optima Order?”
"Oh, no! What have you heard so far?!”
The brown bear guild jumped at Jae-ho's words and shouted.
"We have no intention of doing that at all! They're the ones who've gone all the way back!!”
The guild members of the brown bear who were with Jae-ho confessed everything to him.
About the Optima Church's plan to launch a magic bombing on Jae-ho's current location.
Fellowship?
Wasn't that a brown bear guild that didn't exist in the first place?
They're all gathered, like the same Russians, or white supremacists.
There was nothing in common other than having white skin, so I couldn't have a fellowship.
They were just concerned about their own safety, so it was no wonder that they immediately hit the back of their heads and clung to Jae-ho.
"The brown bear guilds are...….’
I heard it was the largest guild in the world, but I felt that the reality was not worth its reputation at all.
Taylor and the passionate man didn't have the slightest sense of belonging to the guild.
"We have no intention of betraying you. And it's true that I came here with the intention of making a contribution. So......"
"Hmmm......."
those with a glimmer of hope
Jae-ho noticed what they wanted.
"Release the sailor?"
"Well, if not necessarily...….”
"I want you to know that we are different from those traitors...….”
The truth is, I'm asking you to let me go, but I didn't know how I'd get caught again, so I clouded my words.
"Okay. I'll let you go.”
"Ay, you don't have to...... what?"
"Poo, you're letting me go?!”
"I have conditions instead.”
Of course it wasn't free.
"You need to be bait."
The Optima Order, to be exact, Jae-ho's head swiveled rapidly to tighten Pudok and Lenium.

Curse neutralization potion made by Jaeho.
[Flowers' essence]
[Class : Advanced]
[An concentrate that has been brewed in a short period of time.
The drug is somewhat ineffective, but it's not too bad because it's gone through the hands of the spirits.]
[Effects: 1. Increases curses and magic resistance by 4%.
2. : Cursed increases agility by 1%, up to 5%.]
There were only basic effects because only the undiluted solution was extracted.
In addition, the effect of trying to produce large quantities has decreased slightly, but it is believed that it will be enough to relieve some pain in patients.
Clicks... Clicking....
those who laboriously swallow the essence
Sa-a-
The subtle scent enveloped them and soon the expression, which had been distorted by pain, was somewhat loosened.
"Uh...uh..."?"
"The pain..."?
In addition, visual and direct effects began to appear.
The black spots that covered the skin became slightly lighter.
And there were other things that were unintentionally added.
That's the effect!
[Cursed increases agility by 1%, up to 5%.]
"I feel... ... much lighter!"
Due to the constant influence of curses, they were quickly applied up to the maximum overlap, and they were clearly aware of the change.
"Oh, my God....! How could you just hang flowers like this effect!"
All the priests of the Anabolic denomination were amazed.
"It doesn't have a very long time effect. After all, the prototype of the curse is intact."
"But that's great! If we combine this with the purification of our priests, we can see a lot of efficiency."
Stroann bowed his head at Jae-ho.
"You've been as good a man as the continent's title. Thank you again for bowing."
[Stroan's favorability increases.]
[Increases the favorability of the Anabolic Church.]
"Well, I just did what I had to do."
After a textbook answer, Jae-ho approached a nearby patient.
"Excuse me. I have some questions. Can you answer them?"
"Oh... well, yes."
The conversation was easier thanks to the perception that Jae-ho was a benefactor who relieved their pain rather than the scary face of Jae-ho.
"Maybe recently, have you received any orders or suggestions from the Church Union? Like, plant a bomb in the ground."
The purpose of Jae-ho's question.
It was possible that the island's residents were the ones who laid landmines around where they were headed.
Such conjecture was obtained through a whisper of the finished food department.
sanctuary created by the denomination union
The island's residents have been visiting the island as if they were visiting a hospital for purification.
In other words, they didn't stay there, but they repeated going back to their homes after receiving purification.
Even after the horse-riding rift, it remained unchanged, and if the Optima Church secretly worked for Jae-ho, it was assumed that they might have used them.
Moreover, the residents who were staying around here were more likely...….
"Uh, I don't know, but...….”
[The opponent is lying.]
The truth was quickly confirmed.
"You have to think carefully. It's about your life and death."
Jae-ho spoke with his voice down to the fullest.
"It's us who are going to wipe out the devil and close the maggot crack. And we fell into a trap of people who were supposed to be the same human being.”
"Well, that's... ....”
"I think the church union is just an opportunity for priests to improve their skills. You're the ones who are the victims for that.”
Jae-ho was outspoken in his words, which would make him feel uncomfortable when he heard the completion.
It was true anyway.
"Uh..."
a shaky opponent
"Not telling the truth is betraying the Anabolic Church, which has so far risked its efforts for you."
"Laughing..."
When he mentioned the Anabolic Church, he finally bowed his head with tears.
"Sorry, I'm sorry......... but we had no other choice."
a sob story
They didn't want to be cursed by demons.
During the invasion of demons in the past, curses imposed throughout the island continued to the future generations.
It was really grateful that the churches came forward for them, who were always suffering from the devil's whispers toward suffering and personal grooming.
However, the denomination union tried to distance itself thoroughly from the islanders.
as if dealing with an infectious disease patient.
"We wanted to get out of the island. Then you'll get out of the curse. But the church didn't allow it."
“…….”
Jae-ho didn't bother to point out the fact that they were mistaken.
'Maybe the reason they couldn't get out of the island was to prevent the curse from spreading to the continent.’
If you settle down on the continent, the curse will gradually spread over generations.
If it had been a curse to stay on the island, all the church officials who were already dispatched would have been caught.
But the only thing that affected them was a simple curse of diminishing stamina.
"But recently... I heard from the Bishop of the Optima Church of Optima. They said they would get their families off the island in exchange for what they were told to do."
"Hmm?"
However, Jae-ho frowned at the following story.
"So we... I buried the bombs you gave me to avoid demons. That would be a great help in dealing with demons...….”
"Well, that's why."
Stroann, who was listening quietly, nodded and said,
"Suddenly, there were people who went through the curse very quickly, but... Maybe it's because we're close to the crack."
"Well, that's all......... Anyway, we had to accept that we could not only save our families, but also avenge the demons. I never thought it was meant for you...….”
Jae-ho nodded.
It was because the blindfold informed me that everything I just said was true.
-Finished. Are you busy?
-No, why?
-Can you check something out there?
-What is it? You don't do anything weird?
-It's no big deal. Are there any islanders over there?
-Huh? Inside the sanctuary zone? I don't think so. Wait a minute. I'll ask Jinah.
And after a while, the reply that came back.
-He says he doesn'
-Yeah, I got it.
This has confirmed it.
They've been tricked, and they can't tell what's going on with their families...….
Jae-ho shared all the information and conclusions he gained with his colleagues, and the Anabolic Church, which he heard together, resented.
But at the same time, he also showed calmness and faced the situation.
"Realistically, it is impossible to hold them accountable without solid evidence. The Optima Church is the fifth largest denomination, and it has the strongest influence on the entire continent."
No matter how long Jae-ho flies, he cannot engage in an all-out war with the denomination that exerts influence over the entire continent.
It was different from simply fighting a country.
So Jae Ho's conclusion.
"You don't have to fight the entire Optima Church."
No matter what the Optima Church actually thinks of Jae-ho, it didn't matter.
The important thing is justification.
In other words, the Optima denomination had to make it inevitable for itself to disentangle Pudok and Lenium.
* * *
Jae-ho's first opponent to join the team was the brown bear guild with him.
"Hey, you guys."
Jae-ho, who stood them up, opened his mouth in a heavy voice.
"I'm preparing an important operation right now. But your help is essential.”
“…….”
"Mr. Alcia! I can hear these scumbags rolling around here.”
They were choked up when Tina next to them snitch.
"What are you talking about! Don't set me up with nonsense!"
"We were prepared to tell you everything!"
"That's enough of your resolve, and what I'm trying to do is a warning. What will happen if you betray me again?"
There was a dark shade on Jae-ho's face, and only the blind eye shone in the dark.
"......what are you doing?”
"What?"
"I'm going crazy."
Tina, who held a torch above Jae-ho's head and created a shadow on her face, slipped back.
"Hmmm, to continue...….”
Jae-ho set the mood heavy again.
"Well, maybe you'll think of a way to kill me and take my ship or something....... you'd better think about it if you failed. 'Cause then I'm gonna make your level one.'
“…….”
"And if you succeed, you will regain your freedom? Remember that golem you saw before? We'll see you again in the Bugomguk. Even if I run away, I'll follow you to the end of hell. You'd better not think you can run away.”
“…….”
The brown bear guild heard nothing of Jae-ho's threat in vain.
It's the only thing I have to do... Jae-ho's expression was really scary even though the shadow was gone.
And contrary to Jae-ho's worries, they really had no intention of betraying.
It is best to take a step to seal the cracks and be freed from slavery.
He's the one who's screwed up, so I'm going to follow him.’
The only thing I could think of was the "former" guilders who had betrayed me.
"Clear. I won't betray you again.”
"From now on, we will never lie."
"......good."
Jae-ho nodded and gave them a mission.
"But this time I'm gonna have to tell me this time."
"Huh?"
"To your guild members."
Their faces dimmed as they listened to Jae-ho's plan.
"Come on, hold on! That in the end means we're going to die!"
"Ay, I hear you've died ten times. What's the difference if you die one more time? Please use a little more generosity.
"No, no matter how much...….”
"Wouldn't you be afraid of death any more?"
"However, this is a little too much!”
The wild protest of the brown bear guild.
"And we want to follow you too! The big quest is just around the corner and you want me to give it up now!"
"Oh, that's why?"
Jae-ho nodded as if he understood.
"Okay. I won't go until you guys come and I'll wait here. Of course, you know it's a story when you've done the right thing."
"...whoo.... ...okay. You can do it.”
"You must keep your word? I believe?"
Only after receiving the new authorities did the brown bear guild accept the mission.
-Finished.
And Jae-ho whispered to Wan-sik.
-I have a favor to ask you and Jin-ah.
