I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

259.Business Is Not Done With Words (7)

“Who are you?”

“I came to meet the owner of Dern.”

“There is no one like that here.”

“Tell Sir Quartz that he has come.”

“Quar, Lord Quartz… !”

The employee looked at me with a surprised face at my words. It seemed as if he was trying to check if I was the knight in the rumor, so I deliberately glared at him.

“Quickly.”

“Is there any evidence?”

The guards guard the hospital look at me. If he’s an impersonator, I won’t leave him alone. I quietly lifted Lue, which was hanging from my belt. As Lue’s tentacles began to wiggle, the employee finally relaxed his expression and spoke.

“Sorry. This is a place where impersonators often appear…”

“The apology is okay. Where is Dern Sangsangju?”

“Follow me.”

I followed him up the stairs quietly. After taking the stairs and climbing two floors, the hallway I reached was quiet.

Was there anyone there?

Just as I was thinking that, I suddenly heard a shout.

“Adaam!”

“Oh my… I’m having another seizure. “I will go quickly.”

The employee who was ahead began to walk faster. The closer I got to the end of the hallway, the louder the screams became. Naturally, our movements became faster.

“This is the place.”

The employee inserted the key into the iron door at the end of the hallway and turned it. The door began to open with a squeak.

“aah!”

“Could you please wait a moment?”

The employee opened the door, went in, grabbed Dern’s chin as he was glowing on the bed, and took out the medicine from his pocket. Then, the body of Dern Sangju, who had been making a fuss by twisting his whole body began to become more and more calm.

“Is it a sleeping pill?”

“That’s right. He’s a bit harsh, but… For patients addicted to strong drugs, anything else than this level of medicine won’t work.”

“By any chance, is the name of that drug an angel’s call?”

“That’s right.”

The employee looked at me with wide eyes, as if wondering how I knew that name. I shrugged my shoulders and approached the haggard Dern Sanjangju.

“Did Dern Sangju come here on his own feet?”

“His escort showed up here carrying him. The escort is…”

The employee trailed off, but I immediately understood what he meant.

Is he dead?

“Hasn’t the location been revealed to the executives at the top of Derne?”

“You probably noticed it slowly.”

“…I will take you with me.”

“Do you mean Dern Sangju?”

“Okay. “Wouldn’t treatment be difficult if I stayed here anyway?”

“That’s true, but…”

If drugs were something that could be solved so easily, Dern Merchant would never have become this mess in the first place. I sighed and looked at Dern Sanjangju, who was sleeping soundly.

He was really lucky. In any case, his life was saved here thanks to the dedication of his escorts. And being friends with me will be the greatest luck of his life.

Because I was the only one who could cleanly solve this drug problem.

Of course, it won’t be me who will treat it, but Karina…

“How long does the effectiveness of sleeping pills last?”

“It will take three to four hours.”

“It must be pretty tight.”

I walked to the side of the bed and untied the cloth that bound Dern’s arms and legs one by one. Dern Sang-ju looked at me blankly with blurred eyes, as if the sleeping pills had taken effect, and by the time I finished taking it, he had completely closed his eyes and fallen into sleep.

Before I picked him up, I realized one thing and took out 10 gold coins from his pocket.

“If possible, don’t mention it. “If you feel like you’re going to die, you can say it.”

“We are a hospital that operates in the dark, but we protect what needs to be protected.”

Aside from that, they take the gold coins right away. Well, there’s a reward for taking care of it, and there’s no reason not to take it. With the help of the staff, I carried Dern Sanjangju on my back and secured his body with the cloth.

It may have been somewhat uncomfortable to move, but it was an unavoidable choice since he could not move on his own.

“Be careful. “It should be known by now that the owner of Dern is alive.”

“How do you know that?”

“The executives at the top of Derne must have gradually expanded the scope of their search to this place. “The chase will continue until the death of Dern Sanjangju is certain.”

So annoying.

Still, they won’t try to attack me.

The employee must have noticed what I was thinking when he saw my face and immediately added.

“They won’t bother approaching Lord Quartz.”

“It means they will try to assassinate the Dern merchant from a distance.”

“What kind of person would Lord Quartz be so obvious that he could be caught?”

“…You want to save the Dern merchant.”

“Because I have received grace from Lord Dern. Even though it is stuck in the shadows, it is not a ungrateful beast.”

“He did well to save one person.”

“Thank you very much.”

I bowed to the staff and quietly left the hospital.

When I left the hospital entrance, I felt a harsh gaze, unlike when I first came in.

It’s just as the employee said.

I made my way through the crowd and walked quickly towards the exit of the black market.

The gaze continues to follow.

One two three four…

“Rue. “Hold on tight so it doesn’t fall.”

[Huh? Isn’t it better to deal with it?]

“Look at the state of the upper management hanging on my back.”

If you accidentally hit something, it’s the Jordan River.

I quietly entered the narrow alley. It seemed like a suicidal act, like giving one’s body to an assassin, but it was advantageous for both the assassin and me to be in a place with few people.

My gaze became more stinging.

The secret attack will probably begin soon. I quietly touched the floor and used the skill.

“Production.”

A tunnel that looks like it can accommodate two people comfortably. I have to continue to pave the way, but that is not difficult for me.

I silently blocked the entrance to the tunnel, leaving behind the assassins’ bewildered sounds. I picked up a shovel and started digging. Come to think of it, it’s been a long time. There is a little less air, but it will be enough to open some breathing holes.

It moves forward, occasionally creating a hole that one hand can barely pass through.

Before coming here, I checked the direction to Yeomyeonggwan in advance, so if I go straight, I will be connected to the tunnel created at the academy. Once I got there, I could move around comfortably.

[The contractor is always a strange person.]

What does that mean?

I glanced at Lue for a moment and started working again.

There is no time, and the assassins will be looking for a way to chase me.

—————-

“…John? Why is it covered in dirt…No, who is the person carrying it on the back?”

“It’s Dern Sangju. I need your help. If I continue like this, I will either die or lose my taste completely.”

“Let’s go to the guest room first.”

Karina led me to the guest room with an unusually stern look on her face at my words her her her. I opened the door to the guest room, placed the mud-covered Dern on the bed, and wiped her face with the handkerchief that Karina gave me.

“I will treat you, so please step aside for a moment.”

“Okay.”

As Karina said, I stood back and watched her treatment process.

Karina knelt down in front of her Dern temple, assumed a devout praying posture, and began to recite a prayer.

“Great and merciful Kalon…”

[I’ve seen it a few times, but it’s really amazing…]

Because she is a saint.

I watched Karina, whose body was starting to glow more and more, and waited for her upper body to recover. How many minutes did I wait like that? The glow on her body began to cover the upper part of her body.

It was a light that made me feel at ease and cozy just by looking at it.

As time passed, the glow surrounding his body slowly began to disappear. After the glow had completely disappeared, I approached the master of Dern and checked his condition, and his face which had been distorted in pain, had softened.

“It’s a terrible drug… It has taken away all the drug energy, so if you take good care of yourself, you will be able to recover quickly.”

“Thank you.”

“Saving people’s lives is my job.”

As expected, although the saint is different, something is different. I admired her her beautiful mind her her her and put her her handkerchief her her her in her her pocket her her her her. Should I take a shower first?

“I’m going to take a quick shower, so can you wait here?”

“Sure. Oh, on the way, please tell the worker to bring care tools and come to this room.”

“Okay.”

I went straight out into the hallway and went to my room. As Karina said, she didn’t forget to call Ashley, who was passing by in the hallway, explain the situation, and send her to her room.

After quickly taking a shower and returning, Karina was sitting in front of Dern Sangju and examining his body.

“Drugs have damaged my body so much. “I need to rest for about three days before I can wake up.”

“It’s a long road.”

“I was almost on the brink of death, so this is better.”

Three days.

If possible, I’d like to lead the Dern merchants back to the top and set up a meeting, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to do the work before that.

In the end, there was only one conclusion.

“… I guess Lennie will have to add to her troubles.”

When I’m done with work, I should at least have a glass of whiskey in my arms.

I chuckled as I remembered Lennie, who was still working in her office.
