How to Live as an Illegal Healer Chapter 344

356. Secret story of Lophemus 1

“Is it really that surprising that the Mage Tower Master wanders around the Mage Tower?”

Kang Seung-hyun and his party looked at Doradel with wary eyes, but the person in question only responded naturally.

“Of course not! You must… sure!”

“It feels like being treated like someone who has died. I was just lying down because I was sick.”

“a little?”

Kim Ho-jeong shouted as if it was absurd.

“you! He said he was poisoned by the mead mushroom poison! They said that even if it was detoxified, it was poison that would require lying in bed for days and days!”

As the saying goes, mead mushrooms are one of the poisonous substances that have a long-lasting aftertaste of poisoning.

“But why are you walking around? Wasn’t this kid actually pretending to be sick?”

“No, it’s true that I ate.”

Unlike Kim Ho-jung, who was excited, Kang Seung-hyun responded calmly.

“How do you know that? Did you see the culprit?”

“Because I ate them.”

“Eek! Then the culprit is good…”

“Wait! That’s not what’s important!”

“No, I just heard a very important remark…”

“Why is that old man here?”

Kim Ho-jung did not know, but Lee Ji-ah knew that Kang Seung-hyun was the real culprit, so she quickly cut off her words and shouted.

“I’m looking at the mage tower with other clones, but when I asked people, they said that Doradel-sama is lying in bed and recuperating!”

Doradel, who heard Lee Ji-ah’s words, responded with a smile as if it was nothing.

“I was lying down and got a sore so I went out for a short walk. Of course, if you find out it came out secretly, you will be worried, so keep it a secret.”

“Well, I must have opened a secret passage on this side of the master room earlier.”

When you think about it common sense, there’s no way it doesn’t exist.

If you want to conduct secret research for 80 years, it would be better to create a warp portal than to walk every time.

“You talk as if you looked into it.”

“It’s obvious. You know without looking.”

“then! Why do you eat poison and walk around fine? Wasn’t it poison that couldn’t be detoxified if you ate it?”

“It’s not that there isn’t a way at all.”

Originally, even if you detoxify the mead mushroom poison, it is correct to lie down for several days in the aftermath.

However, if you take a special elixir made by a high-ranking alchemist and temporarily increase your addiction resistance, you will be able to move in a short period of time.

“Such an elixir is expensive, but it takes some time because it has to be tailored to the constitution of the user.”

However, if it was Doradell, who had shared the joys and sorrows of alchemists for nearly 100 years, Kang Seung-hyun would have been able to order an elixir as soon as he discovered the symptoms.

“Of course, not a single member of the general staff knew that Doradel-nim was working with the alchemist, so he couldn’t tell them that he had recovered.”

So it seems that he hid himself under the excuse of recovery and crossed over to the Southwest Hall through a secret passage.

‘Under the circumstances, one of the alchemists must have belatedly requested help from Doradel.’

Of course, it was too late and it ended up like this.

“I never thought I would kill those monsters. As the master of the Golden Mage Tower, I express my gratitude.”

Doradel bowed her head to the three of them.

It seems that even a great wizard who has lived for over 100 years, no matter how brilliant and powerful he is, would not have dared to deal with dozens of contaminated homunculi in the black magic fog worse than poison fog.

“Thanks to you, I was able to enter this far. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to dream.”

“Oh yeah… Then did we make others do good things through hard work?”

“It is not.”

Seunghyun Kang smiled and looked inside.

“At the point when we caught this, wouldn’t it be a big loss over there?”

There were piles of corpses and homunculi resembling the Lophemus family.

“One is a homunculus, so it is. This is an ordinary corpse…” The

unique curly blonde hair of the Lophemus family, a small physique, half-open purple eyes and slightly drooping eyes, etc.

“As you can see, they are family members themselves, to the extent that it is impossible to tell them apart even if they are related by blood.”

It’s shocking that a human named Gaju secretly produced and researched a homunculus that looked just like the family members, but even that wasn’t enough, so he was conducting human experiments as a member of the family?

“No matter how you are, it will be difficult for you to just go over.”

“How could you do this to a family… a family? Are you still human?”

Even if you are the number one person in the Mage Tower, you can’t do everything.

Because there are things you can do in the world and there are things you shouldn’t do.

“Many people have tried to uncover our family secrets over the years, but you are the first to find out.”

“Why the hell did you do this? No matter how many of these people there are, they’re the same as grandchildren by your standards!”

“that’s right! If you’re old enough, you’ll die gracefully!”

Kim Ho-jeong and Lee Ji-ah poured out criticism, but Doradell only calmly opened her mouth.

“All of this was for the future of the Lophemus family.”

“what? What nonsense are you talking about?”

“It was to solve a curse deeply rooted in the family.”

As expected by Kang Seung-hyun, Doradel planned this experiment in cooperation with alchemists to remove the family curse.

“What does that curse have to do with using family members as test subjects!”

“There is a relationship. Because this curse was given by God to cut off the lineage of our family.”

“what?”

“A curse from God?”

Until now, Kang Seung-hyun had only been casually listening to it because it was not interesting, but after hearing the story, he became slightly interested.

“Because what the hell did you do?”

“Somehow it’s a bean flour family, but it seems to be a family tradition.”

“Ah, I hate that tradition…”

Although curses were widespread in the Azul Continent, he noticed that it was not an ordinary curse when he saw that quite a few priests were so powerful that they couldn’t even use their hands.

‘I can’t believe it was a curse I received because I was caught up in by God.’

It can’t happen if you don’t have interest.

“What did your ancestor do to bring your family to this point?”

“I can’t tell you the details, but originally, Lophemus was a family that produced priests for generations.”

Just hearing this one line gave me a sense of what had happened.

“Looks like you betrayed the god your family worshiped.”

“…Yes.”

hundreds of years ago maybe thousands of years ago.

At the time, the Lophemus family worshiped a god who was now completely forgotten.

However, as the young priest who led the family at the time came into contact with the magicians, he began to view God as an object of study rather than an object of worship, and eventually reached the stage of forcibly taking away at least some of the power of the god he was worshiping.

The Loppyarmus family switched from priests to wizards based on that power, but the

god they worshiped lost its divine status and disappeared as a reward for losing its power to the followers. do.

The curse didn’t appear at the time, but 100 years after the death of the last priest in the family.

In other words, the curse began in earnest after the family completely forgot about God.

“It’s self-employed.”

“No, I thought I set fire to the church I was passing by, but was it the god they worshiped?”

“Even if this is me, I curse.”

“It is a family that repays kindness with enemies from generation to generation, just like the Golden Mage Tower.”

After hearing the story, Kang Seung-hyeon and his party said as if they were dumbfounded.

“At this point, shouldn’t the Lofiarmus family be ruined wisely?”

“If a family started doing bad things like this, even the descendants will live a good life.”

Anyway, since this happened so long ago, it is said that only the head of the household who receives the truth about the family now remembers that Lofiarmus was a family of priests.

“It’s definitely a family taboo, so it’s only worth passing on to the head of the household.”

“I wouldn’t have wanted to ask the children about the family’s karma and sins.”

“So what does that have to do with those corpses?”

Doradel looked at the strewn body.

“The ‘Curse of Orl’ passed down to the Rophemus family can be endured by using mana, but it gets worse as time goes by, so it will come to an end someday.”

Everyone in the family knows this condition, but in fact, there are other conditions that are passed down only to the heads of households.

“When the ‘Curse of Orl’ is manifested, if you kill someone who inherits family blood, the curse is temporarily weakened.”

“what?”

“Isn’t that what you said? This curse is meant to cut off the family line.”

Doradel answered calmly.

To accurately explain this act, it is said that by killing someone from another family, you are passing on the curse you are receiving to that person.

“That’s why it’s so effective that it can’t be compared to magic recovery, and you can live longer.”

“No, then…”

“I can’t believe I’m going to live! Did you kill all those people?”

“You psycho killer bastard! Kill me right now!”

Ji-ah Lee and Ho-jung Kim were about to attack with their weapons, but Doradel raised both hands as if she had no will to fight and answered.

“It doesn’t matter if you attack me, but please listen to my story to the end.”

“….”

Unlike Kang Seung-hyun, Kim Ho-jung, a weak-willed hunk, couldn’t bear to swing his weapon at those words.

“What if this condition became known to the family members?”

“It must have disappeared without a trace long ago.”

They also fight and kill each other.

“Well, I’m still fighting and fighting to get my hands on the Master’s seat…”

“The family would be ruined that day if it was known.”

That can be understood just by looking at the current situation of the Golden Mage Tower.

“After I became the head of the family, I was very distressed to hear about this from the previous head of the family.”

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a way to break the curse, and I couldn’t publicize the second way, so I had to send away many dying family members.

“Then I remembered.”

Killing someone with family blood will temporarily weaken the curse.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible to solve the family curse by producing artificial lifeforms inheriting family blood with the cooperation of alchemists?

“That’s why you were doing this kind of research.”

Doradel nodded.

Of course, a homunculus made from the blood and flesh of a family member was ineffective, so they had to create a real human with magic flowing inside.

“Those children are members of the family, but they were born with little magical power and therefore did not become wizards.”

Or children born as commoners and born with little magical power, so they wouldn’t live long. Or you’ve endured enough, but you’ve reached your limit.

Either way, they were the ones whose death came.

In a word, the life of the time limit.

“The other side was conducting an experiment to increase lifespan with the cooperation of alchemists. In the first place, I was afraid that if I became a body that had no meaning in magic power, I would not be freed from the curse… Although he passed away in a heartbreaking accident.”

“I see… I don’t even know that. I’m really sorry for swearing at you as ignorant and reckless garbage!”

Upon hearing the circumstances, Kim Ho-jeong bowed her head as if she was very sorry.

“But after 80 years, research has not progressed. I knew it wasn’t easy…”

“I understand, I understand.”

“So speaking of that, Kang Seung-hyun healer. I need your help.”

Doradel opened her mouth with a desperate face.

“In fact, an ancient book of prophecy has been handed down in our family that contains the only way to lift the curse.”

“An ancient book of prophecy?”

Doradel pulled out an old scroll and showed it to me.

There was only one sentence written there

{The only thing that can lift the curse of God is those who defy God’s will.}

So Doradel teamed up with the representative blasphemous group alchemists who broke the three major taboos.
