My Abandoned Disciples Came to Me

91. Finding Traces, Baekhyunseo’s Reverberation

-You mean investigating the source of the dark artifact?

Jichan Ho spoke in a slightly embarrassed tone. It was natural. Dark artifacts are mostly connected to the highest guild or equivalent group.

The mere act of digging up information creates the possibility of retaliation.

However, at this time, Kang Seong-ho offers a deal he cannot refuse.

-If you complete your investigation properly, I will give you the dark artifact.

-That…Is that really?!

Ho Ji-chan was so surprised that he screamed and checked.

Dark Artifacts, even if their functions are broken or have problems after use, are filled with various magic devices and demonic energy, so they have tremendous value by themselves. Choi Joo-won, overflowing with rotten money, has already asked Kang Seong-ho to investigate and has just given ownership of the dark artifact.

Although Seongho Kang had an opportunity to use it in various ways, he gave up his interests for a proper investigation.

Seongho Kang replied to Jichan Ho.

– Yes, really. Instead, do your research on where the artifact came from.

-Okay. If you bring the Dark Artifact to the place I am talking about, we will help you with all the information we have.

***

After quite a while, Seongho Kang heard from Jichan Ho how the dark artifact was used by which group.

And he called Choi Joo-won to convey what he learned.

Kang Seong-ho, president of the Hunter Association, looked at Joo-won Choi and talked.

“There’s something I want to tell you. First of all, I think I know roughly what’s behind it.”

Choi Joo-won looked at Kang Seong-ho with a surprised expression. He honestly thought that if it was a crazy group capable of committing terrorism using dark artifacts, it would of course not be a small place, and it would be difficult to track down that much. He had various escape devices, because he thought it would be difficult to find.

However, contrary to Joo-Won Choi’s idea, the head of the Association, Seong-Ho Kang, said that he had roughly grasped the identities of these people in a very short time.

Choi Joo-won thought to himself.

‘I’ve felt it before, but he’s a very competent person.’

What I felt after watching Kang Seong-ho for a long time, the head of the Hunter Association, was that he was a person who judged the situation rationally and made decisions rather than being swayed by emotions, and furthermore, he was a person who made good use of his surroundings. .

‘I’m sure you found out through the information guild. But even so, it’s a great thing.’

Kang Seong-ho, the head of the Hunter Association, probably obtained information about the entire incident through an information guild called Letan. From a third person’s point of view, he might think lightly that he was just scooping up the information he had from the information guild, but that’s not the case.

An information guild called Letan is operated in a very closed manner. Therefore, no one can open exchanges with them, and even if they are able to exchange, the information provided about how long the exchanges have been made, how much information they have exchanged with each other, and how much they pay has changed dramatically. .

In a word, it is not easy to establish exchanges, and even if a transaction is started, high-level information cannot be obtained at random. After establishing a relationship of mutual trust due to long-term transactions, and then spending a lot of money on information that is not very important, it is the guys called Letan who give you the right and real information from then on.

‘If it’s information about users of dark artifacts, the price doesn’t matter.’

Even if it’s not this terrorist incident, dark artifacts are ridiculously powerful, related information is very rare, and there are many people with strong powers, so pretend not to know even if you know the information. Often taken off It is only natural that you never know when and how you will be retaliated against for selling information about them.

However, Kang Seong-ho, the head of the Hunter Association, skipped all these parts and brought information related to Dark Artifact users from the Retan Guild.

It would be impossible if he hadn’t formed a trusting relationship with the Rethan Guild by pouring in an enormous amount of money from a long time ago.

‘The Hunter Association probably didn’t need much information, but it must have been invested for the future.’

It was a part where Kang Seong-ho, the head of the Hunter Association, was able to realize the readiness. The Hunter Association is quite closed, and there were many days when there was no need to go around digging up other people’s information because disputes with others did not occur for a long time. However, even then, Kang Seong-ho, the head of the association, said that he maintained a close relationship with Letan.

‘I’ll have to keep going with the Hunter Association president. It will be of great help not only this time, but also in the future.’

Choi Joo-won thought so and asked Kang Seong-ho a question.

“What information did you find out?”

Kang Seong-ho looked at Joo-won Choi with worried eyes and talked.

“First… I’ll tell you everything honestly, but please promise me you won’t act too hastily.”

Choi Joo-won felt suspicious. Kang Seong-ho was clearly aware of Choi Joo-won’s powers better than anyone else. That’s how much he would say. I wondered who the hell was involved with doing this.

“Yes, I understand.”

When Joo-Won Choi promised, Seong-Ho Kang spoke.

“Anyway, this incident… Seems to be related to the Baal guild.”

“Baal… You mean?”

‘Honestly, I was more suspicious of the Magic Tower… But this is unexpected.’

Choi Joo-won thought that Bonama and Shin Yura had kept Wallace Academy in check by spraying the dark artifacts he had been secretly keeping.

This was a natural idea. When Wallace Academy was established, it was the Mage’s Tower that suffered the most, and Shin Yu-ra had direct friction in the early days when Joo-won Choi was a masked instructor before, so her motivation was sufficient.

‘Well… Speaking of motives, Choi Seung-hyun, that bastard, must also be there.’

Choi Seung-hyeon also had a direct fight with Choi Joo-won. Choi Joo-won cursed at him for saying such nonsense as to be friends, and that behavior would have been unacceptable to Choi Seung-hyeon, who had only seen people who couldn’t get along with him.

‘He was more crazy than I thought.’

This academy terror incident was not simply carried out on one person, the masked instructor.

To be precise, the head of the Hunter Association, which he co-founded, and the spectators who were there, plus Choi Joo-won. He was appalled that he had taken such a drastic action, even though there were more than one person involved.

At that time, the head of the Hunter Association spoke.

“It’s obviously connected to Baal, but don’t misunderstand. It was Kaisolt, one of Baal’s affiliates, who directly initiated this incident.”

“So you’re saying Kaisolt is the culprit behind this terrorist attack?”

“That’s not the case either. Kaisolt directed the attack by handing over a dark artifact to one of their criminal groups. In other words, the real culprit is Lifort, a criminal group that follows Kaisolt’s orders. .”

“…”

It was a complicated situation in many ways. Choi Seung-hyun is the top, the middle member is Kai Salt, and the actual culprit is Lifort. It’s because you have to go upstairs from the real criminal.

“Could you please tell me about Kai Salt?”

“Of course it’s possible. Now that we’ve figured out their home base, you should be able to dig up a lot of information from them if you look for them.”

“Thank you. I would appreciate it if you could send me the location on your mobile phone.”

Not long after, a message with a location arrived on Choi Joo-won’s cell phone. Seeing the place, Joo-Won Choi thought to himself.

‘What? It’s closer than I thought, isn’t it?’

***

Choi Joo-won enters the base of the report. He’s in the cave

‘Certainly, according to the words of the head of the Hunter Association, Kang Seong-ho, there is a stronghold of small men in the market called Lifort, called Kaisolt’s Takari, near here.’

-Jerbuck

-Jerbuck

-Jerbuck

As Choi Joo-won started walking toward the underground cave, the sound of his footsteps echoed throughout the cave.

He could use magic to mask the sound of his steps if he wanted to, but he didn’t bother. Because he was It’s not Kai Salt, there’s no need to worry too much about the janitors on the market who are just their subcontracted guild.

Even if they all jump out of hiding and attack Joo-Won Choi, Joo-Won Choi was confident that he would kill everyone in an instant.

-Jerbuck

-Jerbuck

Choi Joo-won walked deeper and deeper into the underground cave. There were magical torches that lit up the interior, and the water dripping from between the caves made the atmosphere of this creepy cave even more bleak.

-Jerbuck

-Jerbuck

– He hesitated.

At some point, Choi Joo-won, who was walking a little further, stopped on the spot.

‘What the hell is this?’

Choi Joo-won rubbed his eyes and checked the sight in front of him again. But he still hasn’t changed.

In his pupils, he could see dozens of people lying down as chilly corpses.

‘Who did this? Is there someone who beat me before me?’

A criminal guild under Kai Salt. They are not very well-known and the group’s military power is not strong, but Kai Salt is looking after them. Kaisolt’s belly was an existence that no one could carelessly touch because Baal was looking after it.

Isn’t it? If they did something wrong, they could be entangled with Baal and beheaded, so why bother with them?

Even what I can see right now is not just one or two dead. I don’t know the exact number of these people, but at least half of them. No, I thought that maybe everyone was harmed.

‘Who did this?’

-Sueuk

Choi Joo-won tried to stamp the blood on the ground with his hand.

‘The blood hasn’t hardened yet’

Judging from the circumstances, it was possible to guess that not too long had passed since they died.

-Shudder

While checking their bodies, Joo-Won Choi finds something unbelievable.

-Pasasasak-!

As soon as a corpse was touched, it oxidized into the air and disappeared.

‘F*ck… I can’t believe it?’

Joo-Won Choi knows better than anyone else the case of the corpse disappearing into ashes.

‘Sacrificial Temple…’

It was the same scene as the people used in the sacrificial temple being destroyed.

It wasn’t long before. It meant that the temple of sacrifice was cast here.
