Chapter134: Witchcraft and Heresy

Just before entering, I found a bulletin board near the entrance.

Various wanted posters were pasted on the bulletin board. The criminals stabbed a priest and ran away. thief who robbed a peddler. A wolf with two heads. Also mutated goblins.

And there was the most striking portrait.

A silver-haired girl is wearing a crown. Her appearance was a little faded, but unforgettable.

Gaki

The number of digits in the reward was wrong.

Even if the rewards from all the wanted letters are combined, it doesn't seem to be worth the reward.

The charges were listed below the portrait.

Charges: heresy, summoning demons.

In addition, charges such as insulting the royal family, murder, arson, theft, and rape were listed.

At the end, it was written that, as the heir of a great bloodline, he had committed a heinous crime and would be stripped of his royal status.

Are you targeting this witch too, Hyung?

I turned around.

A little boy with a backpack looked at me. The backpack was partially open and filled with wanted posters.

Your dream seems great, but it will not come true. Even the most powerful people on the continent couldn't find her anywhere they looked. If you're a bounty hunter, you need to know this, right?

With practiced skill, the boy took out a wanted poster and began pasting it on the board.

Why do you call this little girl a witch?

Of course. She is said to be incredibly powerful. It is said that she offered the heart of her newborn baby as her offering. Dozens of pieces. She is said to use forbidden black magic.

Forbidden black magic?

It is said to attract evil beings. I don't know the details, though.

The boy turned around after pasting up the wanted note.

I grabbed his shoulder.

Please wait.

Yes? What? I am busy.

I'd like to hear about that.

I work here. We still have a long way to go to reach today's quota.

I silently handed him the gold coin.

The boy rolled his eyes and accepted the gold coin.

W-what?

Please give me more information.

Haha, it seems pretty expensive, but

If you don't want to do it, forget it.

I reached out to retrieve the gold coin.

The boy shook his head and clutched the gold coin tightly.

Okay, okay, he's

Hyung, where do you want to talk?

At the inn.

Got it!

The boy staggered into the inn, muttering to himself.

I followed him in. Our room was ready, so we ordered a place for two. We sat at a corner table on the second floor of the inn.

What kind of story would you like to hear?

The boy smiled and put the gold coin in his pocket.

He bit into it and gently wiped it with his palm.

As we looked at the soldier and the boy, it seemed very precious to them, but to us, it was just a thousand pieces of gold. The amount of money you can get by walking around the lower floors.

Please tell me about this witch.

I said that while drinking a strange-tasting drink.

The boy began to explain in detail.

Her name is Priasis al Laguna. Since she lost her title, she is now only Priasis. She was once the heir to the imperial throne.

The basic information was the same as what I knew.

However, there were inconsistencies in several places.

Was he stopped a year ago?

Yes, exactly a year ago. Then the order was issued by the church. Would you like to view your profile again?

The boy took out Priasi's wanted note from his pocket.

At the bottom of the wanted poster was a sticker with a cross and what looked like wings on it.

one year ago.

It hasn't even been a week since I parted ways with Priasis on the 15th floor.

I had already seen the sticker on the wanted note. It was a pattern engraved on the armor of the people I killed.

I asked the boy more about the princess, but he replied that he knew nothing more than what he had already told me. I wouldn't have expected more information from a simple kid.

Considering all the information,

Priasis was searched immediately after his escape from the city. She has been wandering around different places for the past year. She looked like she lived somewhere.

If she had been captured and killed, the wanted poster would no longer be in circulation.

Next.

I talked.

Of course, I didn't intend to end it there.

Yes, please continue.

Has there ever been a monster invasion in this town?

Robbery, yes, robbery. Eh!

The boy clapped his hands.

I don't know much about him because he was in a different place before that, but I've heard rumors. Goblins have invaded the city. Was it about 2 years ago?

So?

They managed to repel them. I heard that many people died, but thanks to the intervention of the church, the problem was resolved.

Of course.

Two years have passed.

After making sure no one was around, the boy whispered something to me.

This is also a rumor, but there is a story that the mastermind behind the invasion was a witch. Monsters usually do not perform such large-scale activities.

I laughed lightly.

All the bad things were connected.

This is easy to explain.

Are there any other unusual occurrences?

Hmm, that's a bit vague.

Everything is fine. Could you teach me this, please?

An epidemic has occurred. Monsters start rampaging. It seems like the weather is getting colder. The strangest of them all, of course, is the dungeon.

The boy opened his mouth.

That must have been a few years ago. Ancient ruins suddenly appeared all over the continent. We call these places dungeons. But these places are really strange. The public cannot enter because there is an invisible wall.

Invisible wall.

I understand what that refers to.

It seems that there are people who can enter and people who cannot.

That's right. This is also a rumor, but there is a strange stone at the end of the dungeon. Obtaining this stone will give you special powers.

Power

Only one stone can give you special power.

Advent Stone.

It was the main character's third ability, after status and skills, and the source of his stamp.

I'm sure it's here too.

Is it true? how?

You'll know it when you see it.

Mercenaries were swarming around.

I finished my drink and got up.

Please show me the way. I'll pay for it.
