Ruler of the Game 23

Chapter 23 – How to Become an Alchemist

After a satisfying night, Seong-il woke up rubbing his eyes in the morning sun.
Next to Seong-il, a silver-haired beauty was sleeping with her face leaning against her chest.

When she thought of the last night’s sticky sex, Seong-il remembered her ecstasy and smiled involuntarily.

Seong-il recalled her last night, holding her pirina in his arms and starting to massage her buttocks. Pirina, who was awakened by the stimulation, greeted her with a smile when she saw her holy day.

“Whoa.. Are you awake? Young master Seongil?”

Seong-il lightly kissed Pirina’s forehead and said,

“Good morning.”

When she heard those greetings of her holy day, she rose from her bed and began to stretch herself.
Her voluptuous breasts, cute nipples, scattered silver hair and pure white armpits made her heart beat on her holy day.

Piri, who woke up with her stretched out, lightly kissed her on the mouth of her holy day and said,

“Whoa.. How was the night? Did you enjoy it?”

“Sure. I can honestly say it was the best night I’ve had.”

Seeing Seongil’s sincere expression, which showed no lies, Pirina smiled and said,

“Yeah… I was a little worried as it’s been a few years since I retired, but I’m glad it was good.”

Seong-il asked Pirina’s answer.

“Next time… Can I see you again next time?”

At Seongil’s words, Pirina answered him with an expression as if she knew.

“Well..?”

“Because I am no longer a woman who sells herself. In principle, I should say no?
Of course, the price is the same as yesterday.”

After her words were finished, she knelt down in front of me, put a veil over her mouth, and used her hands to brush her hair behind her back. And began tying her hair.

Then she puts on a top that looks nothing more than a bra, knots her shoulder straps, stands up, turns around behind her and bends her waist 90 degrees so that I can see her pussy clearly.

She pretends to look for something in a position where her cunt is visible, and turns her ass around to seduce me. Then he picks up her panties and puts them on her legs slowly. She pulled up very slowly and put on her panties.

And wearing her pants the same way, she turned her head to me and smiled silently.

Laughing like that, she lifted her veil and kissed my cheek, then without a word she turned her head and put on her veil, then left me on her bed and left.

Her words and actions made her decision long ago.

How about two gold coins?
She herself had a lot of gold coins, and the money wasn’t earned hard enough anyway.
Isn’t it the world’s rule that if you earn easily, you should spend it easily?

And another whore..?
Even if she gave a thousand gold at her window, would she be able to meet a witch like her again?
It’s a no-brainer.

After finishing her thoughts like that, Seong-il washed herself in her bath and put on her clothes and left Changgwan.

She overslept, but because today was a day without classes, Seongil was able to walk around the city leisurely.

Seong-il stopped by her dormitory, took her student ID, and moved to the authorized guild in Adenheim.

“Hmm? A new face? An oriental? A trader?”

‘It’s a trader again.’

I got used to the sound of the Oriental traders by hearing it quite often now.

‘Does the eastern side of the world have a stereotype of being a trader?’

Seongil didn’t respond, and quietly took out his student ID and presented it in front of the guild receptionist’s face.

“Huh? You’re a student? Looking at the date, it looks like you’re a freshman.”

The receptionist, who had identified my identity, asked me about my business.

“What did you come here for? Did you come for an alchemist mission? A freshman wouldn’t have a job to do…”

The red-haired, chubby-looking receptionist didn’t listen to Seong-il’s business and began to speak on his own.
Tired of her attitude, Seong-il sighed and told her.

She said, “She came to make a commission, not to take a commission.”

The receptionist was surprised at the words of her holy days.

“Ah! Oh… I said a lot without asking. I’m sorry. If so, what kind of request did she come for?”

“I’d like to introduce you to a real estate agent.”

Then she shrugged her shoulders as if it was okay and answered me.

“If that’s the case, our guild can handle it directly. Our guild has been entrusted with brokerage qualifications from Adenheim City Hall. It will be safer from fraud problems if you do it through us rather than through a decent broker.”

“Okay. Then, I have a house I want. Can I ask if it’s available for purchase?”

Then she smiled broadly and gave me an affirmative answer.

“Of course! It’s even better that there’s a house you’ve known about beforehand. Which house would it be?”

I gave her the address of her ‘cursed house’, which I had researched beforehand.

“Uh…?!”

She looked very surprised and asked me in a trembling voice.

“Do you… Do you know about that house?”

“Yes. From what I’ve heard, it’s a house full of all sorts of nonsense. Thanks to that, the house is famous for its low price.”

At the words of such a seongil, she was restless and said to her seongil.

“…I also have the guild’s interests at stake, so I try to package things well, but it’s a matter of conscience. Customer, it’s a really hideous house there. The rumors you said are probably true.”

Seong-il replied with a smile at her words.

“So you’re saying the rest of this Hal is fake?
Haha! Rumors are like that. We Easterners do not believe in such superstitions. Wouldn’t it be funny to be afraid of a series of coincidences and curses?”

The receptionist, whose expression hardened at Seongil’s words, advised Seongil in a slightly angry voice.

“Guest. Judging by the identity card, it looks like a student with a contract, but if you ignore the words around you and live with your ears closed, you could get hurt someday. That house is real.”

Seeing her like that, Seongil questioned her with a more shameless expression on her face.

“It doesn’t matter if I’m 20 or 30. Being an adult is the same anyway. And if I was someone who would be swept away by the words around me, I wouldn’t have left my hometown and come to Nerke Kingdom, right?”

“Thank you for giving me advice, but I’ll take care of my life. If you’re so concerned about damaging your reputation, can I write you a memorandum?”

“Even though the guild did their best to spread the bad news about the house, this customer pushed hard and bought this house.”

At Seong-il’s strong attitude, the guild member lost her words and thought about it alone before telling her Seong-il.

“That… I don’t think this is a problem I can solve alone. Could you wait a moment?”

After waiting for her holy day, she opened her door and went into her room.

Soon after, she returned to her sanctuary with an elderly middle-aged man.

“Yes… Are you an Asian student studying abroad who wishes to purchase that hideous house?”

“That’s right.”

He stared intently at his holy day, then began to open his mouth.

“Huh… I’ll be honest. A lot of the horrible things that happened there are real. Do you still want to buy that house after hearing that?”

“This time I’m going to prove that those incidents were just coincidences. I’m going to show that such superstitions can be destroyed in the face of reason and logic.”

The guild employee, who was glaring at Seong-il with a ridiculous expression, said to Seong-il.

“Well… If you’re so stubborn, I’ll mediate, but I’d like you to write a memorandum like you told our receptionist. We did our best to inform you of the information about the house, but you took a firm stand. I said I hoped to buy it.”

“As you know, trust is the key to this kind of brokerage business. If you sell such a hideous house and there is a problem with the seller, there will be a trust problem at the guild level. Actually, I don’t want to do brokerage, but refusing to do business for this reason is against national law. You’re forced to do it.”

Seongil nodded and agreed to his words.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take a memorandum as requested. Ah! I don’t have that seal, can I get it replaced with a Jijang?”

The guild staff, who laughed at Seong-il’s words, nodded at him and took out a memorandum and contract.

Following his guidance, Seong-il drew up a contract and memorandum, gave the guild a down payment, and decided to come back the next day.

‘Now.. Now let’s go get the holy water to lift the curse.’

Seongil moved to the temple of Olta, the god of light. Due to the nature of Nerke Kingdom, which is a polytheistic kingdom, there were many gods in the city, but the reason why he dared to adopt the ‘Olta’ cult was simple.

‘Of all the gods, the Olta Church has the best knowledge of things like exorcism, lifting curses, and necromancy..’

The Church of Justice and the Church of the Earth also had expertise in removing curses, but it was true that their fame was less than that of the Orta Church, which symbolizes light itself.

After thinking so many things, I went to the Temple of Light and asked for advice.

“How should I ask for a blessing or purification?”

Then, a very beautiful nun approached Seongil.

‘Oh.. Was there a character in this original work? What a beautiful woman?’

The nun was a beautiful woman with ebony-like hair and sapphire eyes that contrasted with the pure white hood and priestly uniform.

“Hello. Brother, you said you asked about blessings and purification. Are you a follower of Olta?”

“Ah, I’m not a believer, but I’m not ashamed because Olta’s authority is so famous in that area, but I came here to seek help.”

Then, at Seongil’s answer, the nun answered with a smile.

“Of course. How can we not reach out to a brother in need? Tell us the situation and we will present a bottle of holy water appropriate for you.”

At her words, Seong-il shook her hands and expressed disapproval.

“Ah! It’s because I’m not comfortable with a lot of holy water. By any chance, I’ll show my utmost sincerity, so can I buy the highest quality holy water? Please, Sister.”

The nun, who had a puzzled look at Seongil’s words, thought about it for a long time before she spoke to Seongil.

“Um… Since the sale of top-notch holy water is limited unless you are a follower of ours… Excuse me, but would you please wait for a while?”

After asking for my understanding, the nun turned her back for a moment and moved somewhere.

‘In this neighborhood, if you make an inquiry, you report it to the superiors and take care of the work?’

Her holy day waited for her with a sigh inside her.
Not long after, a nun and an elderly priest who seemed to be his superiors came to Seongil.

“Yes. Is the brother the one who wishes to purchase the highest quality holy water of our church?”

“Yes, it is.”

The priest expressed disapproval at the words of such a holy day.

“Normally, unless you are a faithful believer, you cannot take out the holy water of the highest grade in the church. I’m sorry, but I would like you to take that word away.”

At his words, Seong-il opened the bag he brought and showed it to the priest.

“Priest. Here are 10 gold coins. I will offer these gold coins as an offering, so could you have mercy on me?”

When Seong-il brought out a surprising amount of money in front of the priest and nun, the two looked shocked.

‘One gold coin is the amount of money a commoner can earn by working for half a year, so if it’s 10 coins, the two of them will be surprised.’

In particular, the older priest was so surprised that even his voice trembled, but Seong-il did not miss the greed in his eyes.

‘I should hold on to that priest rather than a nun who seems to be an FM.’

“Priest! If you provide a bottle of the finest holy water every day, I will donate 10 gold every day as a reward. Please, please.”

Then, the priest with a troubled expression asked Seongil what the holy water was for.

“What kind of problem did you need holy water for?”

After a little dramatization of his question, Seong-il explained about purchasing a cursed house.

“It’s nothing else, I bought a house in Adenheim that’s famous as the ‘cursed house’ without knowing anything this time.”

“I, an ignorant easterner, moved all my belongings and started living there a few days ago, and only today I learned about the ugly rumors about that house.”

“I panicked and moved out, but since I suffer from terrible nightmares every night, I wondered if Olta-sama’s holy water would somehow solve the problem.
Also, the furniture left there is sprinkled with holy water to prepare for the curse.”

“If you help me, can you give me the highest quality holy water as I will visit this temple every day and donate 10 gold until the nightmare is relieved? It’s a matter of my life, so I want to ask for mercy from the priest.”
