How to Live as an Illegal Healer

Chapter 163

163. Counterfeit

‘The masked group does not belong to the church? Does that make sense?’

They obviously knew about ‘Wizmel’ and were even cursed not to mention it.

‘Looking at Lit, there was no curse on his body.’

The instant death series curse is a skill that puts a strain on the body of the caster, so it is rarely activated unless it is in a situation where you have to keep your mouth shut even if you kill it.

‘But the fact that they put the instant death curse on them must mean that they have important information.’

In the first place, the masked group knew that their bodies were cursed and accepted it calmly.

‘Because throwing away one’s own life is something only church fanatics do.’

Kang Seung-hyun was convinced that the masked group belonged to the Wismel Church.

‘There must be a reason to hide this on purpose.’

There is one more thing to be concerned about.

Due to the nature of the Wismel Church, the masked group must be Tracotti.

However, the members of the Adventurer’s Guild, including Masen, reacted as if they were seeing a group of masks for the first time.

‘What the hell is that guy hiding?’

Seunghyun Kang looked at the pen grill with an expressionless face. He just brought the teacup to his mouth with a calm face.

‘He’s such a suspicious guy. After all, there is no normal person who speaks respectfully when you first meet him.’

It seems that Pengrill is sincere as much as he thinks of Tracotti. However, the secret he was hiding in the middle made him unbelievable.

‘This is how it happened... Shall we investigate that guy’s background?’

Organizing his thoughts, Kang Seung-hyun stood up from his seat while looking at his watch.

“The time is already like this.”

“Tea time passes quickly.”

“We will just go. It’s about time to give medicine to old Harvey.”

“I hope you can safely convince Master. I am looking forward to good news.”

Pengril smiled softly.

Kang Seung-hyeon, who saw that, thought, ‘It’s a psycho bastard who wants to convince the human he poisoned to kill’.

“You drank a lot of tea. It’s delicious.”

“...Excuse me.”

Kim Ho-jeong and Rebecca also stood up following Kang Seung-hyun.

“...”

Then Pengrill looked at Rebecca with a strange gaze.

It was a face I couldn’t read at all.

sudden.

At the same time, Pengrill reached out and took off Rebecca’s hood.

It happened so suddenly that no one could react.

“When you go, you should say hello and go, right?”

“omg...!”

The tightly pressed hood came off, revealing Rebecca’s bright red hair.

“You’re my only brother.”

“what? brother?”

“Oh, didn’t you know?”

Pengril opened his mouth with a calm face.

“Rwenna is my sister. Didn’t you tell me?”

“what? Who is Rwena?”

“That’s my real name...”

Rebecca opened her mouth with the sound of an ant crawling.

Rebecca’s real name is Lwenna Spencer.

They were brother and sister with Pengrill.

“Were you a noble?”

“...”

“Now he has run away from home to become an adventurer, but he is also a member of the Spencer family.”

Pengrill looked at Rebecca with cold eyes. Rebecca kept her mouth shut and bowed her head.

‘The family that said they were against being an adventurer was Pengrill.’

I think I know why he desperately tried to hide his identity. Of course, it was revealed in an instant without any hidden reward.

“You are still wasting your time unnecessarily. I told you that being an adventurer isn’t right for you.”

“...”

“And what is that clumsy disguise? Did you really think I would be fooled by something like that?”

Pengrill approached Rebecca and began pouring out harsh words.

“Ever since you were really young, no matter what you do, you can’t do anything right. I at least knew you would try to say hello to me first. I didn’t even think of it as a disguise.”

“...”

“You even ran away to become an adventurer, so why hasn’t anything changed from when you left? What the hell were you doing while I was setting up a workshop for Tracotti and preparing the church?”

“Hey hey... there’s nothing to say that much.”

Kim Ho-jung, who had not heard of it, tried to dry the pen grill.

But Pengrill said coldly.

Harvey, who had clicked his tongue, spat out.

“Well, that bastard can’t make a special golem with his skills, so that must have something to do with it.”

“A special golem?”

“The strange golem he created. It looks like you failed by trying to imitate the special golem I made.”

Harvey continued his story over a cup of tea.

“The special golem I create is a clay doll with an ego, commonly referred to as ‘ego golem.’ After all, it is an existence that is intermediate between animate and inanimate objects.”

The ‘Ego Golem’ is a pseudo-life that has no soul, but has a will, so it can think like a normal creature and move on its own.

Of course, making it is not easy.

This is because even the slightest mistake in the production process will turn you into a monster without reason.

“Of course, a person like me wouldn’t do that.”

‘Even in the midst of that, he doesn’t forget to brag about himself.’

“But the one he made... is a little different.”

Harvey clicked his tongue, looking very displeased.

“At first I thought he made something great, but when I thought about it, there were a lot of strange things.”

In order to create a life-like creature, an object to replace the body and an object to replace the mind are needed.

Harvey made a body out of clay and mixed the magical energy containing his will into it to replace the Ego Golem’s spirit.

“But the things he made don’t have magic, right? Compared to humans, it’s like a zombie without a soul. And yet, he had an ego.”

“That sounds like it’s not the normal way.”

“Of course it was a failure. If I do a little research, I can solve it in no time.”

If Harvey put his mind to it, he could solve the problem with Pengrill’s golem.

“But what am I doing to be nice to him?”

But the grudge against Pengrill was so deep that he would not help even if he died.

“It seems like he’s trying to complete the golem while poisoning you. What’s the reason?”

“You must be stupid, right?”

Harvey laughed at Kim Ho-jung and said.

“I’m trying to make that Wizmel doll.”

“A Wismel doll?”

“If I set my mind to it, it’s not even a job to make a ‘doll’ that looks like it’s really alive.”

If Harvey borrowed Pengrill’s technology, he would be able to create a golem so perfect that it would be difficult to distinguish it from a living thing.

“If I show the Wismel I made like that to the people of Tracotti, won’t they believe it as a god?”

Although they are dolls made of clay, if the Tracotti residents worship Wismel as their god, they can establish a Wismel Church.

“Then we wait for some time, and when the real Wismel appears, we stealthily destroy it. It’s obvious, it’s obvious.”

“As expected of the best puppeteer, he is fast when it comes to dolls.”

There are times when even trash can help.

Thanks to Harvey, I was able to roughly grasp Pengrill’s purpose.

“Then the question is... whether to stop the Church of Wismel or not.”

In order to restore the glory of the past, the god who loved Tracotti more than anyone descended.

Clearly, there was no loophole in Pengrill’s logic.

‘But my instincts say no.’

Kang Seung-hyun recalled Pen Grill’s whereabouts.

Far from rescuing his subordinates caught in enemy lines, he was buried.

Far from caring for his one and only blood relative, he mercilessly criticized and disregarded them.

He poisoned his teacher to achieve his goal and has no guilt about it.

‘The biggest problem of all is that no matter how well-intentioned they are, they try to trick the entire population of Tracotti by creating a toy god.’

Pengrill is a person with a character who does not choose any means and methods to achieve his goal, and has no mercy for those who are below his standard.

‘I seem to have a sincere heart for Tracotti, but a guy whose fundamentals are crooked will end up doing evil even if he tries to do the right thing.’

You don’t know what will happen if a guy like this takes over the town.

“More than anything else, I’m curious about the secret that Pengrill hides.”

“secret?”

“I know that old Harvey has great skills, but it doesn’t make sense to try to scout him while spending hundreds of millions just to make a toy.”

That is, the man’s purpose.

There must be a reason to borrow Harvey’s power to complete the doll.

“If that was the right reason, they would have explained it to us.”

“But if you look at hiding it...”

“It must mean that it is a reason not to let others know.”

I don’t know what it is yet, but considering Pengrill’s personality, it must be for immoral reasons.

“Then where should I start investigating?”

“That brother...he said he found information about Wismel-sama inside the house, right?”

At that time, Rebecca, who had noticed her surroundings, opened her mouth cautiously.

“Then why don’t we inspect our house?”

“If it’s Rebecca’s house...”

“The Spencer family’s mansion?”

Although not as good as the doll workshop, the Spencer family’s mansion is also one of the oldest buildings in Tracotti.

“Most of them have been taken to the Spencer workshop, but there may be materials we haven’t been able to find.”
