I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill-Chapter 60.1: Refrigon (5)
Chapter 60.1: Refrigon (5)
Asher and I took Van out of the prison and brought him straight to the potion shop.
I moved with my super sensory to the maximum in case the Tyrant sent someone to monitor me, but no one followed me. It was a useless worry.
“Thank you, Mr. Pleon! Thank you so much!”
“It’s all thanks to this friend here. What are you thanking me for?”
So arriving at the shop, he thanked me and Gulpiro repeatedly.
It surprised me at first that Van called him ‘Pleon’ until I remembered that that was his current pseudonym.
“Are you going to leave right now?”
Gulpiro answered my question by looking around the inside of the store.
“Could you give me a few days? Most of them will be thrown away, but I still have a lot to organize.”
Well, that was true.
It would take some time to organize and pack all his luggage.
Staying in the Tyrant’s city was no good, but it probably wouldn’t matter for a few more days.
“Anyway, thank you so much for saving Van. I will consider this a debt and keep it in my heart.”
Gulpiro said with a soft smile.
Saving Van was a condition for him to follow me to my territory, so there’s no such thing as a debt.
But he seemed to think that it was a debt that he should pay back later. It was a good thing for me, anyway.
“Just in case, I’ll keep my escort here until you’re ready.”
I looked at Asher and said.
The Tyrant didn’t seem interested in what I was doing in Mahea, but there was nothing wrong with being careful until we left.
But Gulpiro firmly shook his head.
“It’s okay if you don’t. I have enough strength to protect myself.”
【Lv. 56]
I looked over his head.
Of course, the level of Gulpiro was considerable.
Although he was an alchemist far from combat, he was not an ordinary alchemist as he had a continental reputation.
I know that the level of his magic was also quite high, so there was no danger at all, but…
“Okay. How long will it take for you to organize everything?”
“A week is enough.”
“Then, we’ll come back then.”
After talking a little more with Gulpiro, we left the store.
I told Asher.
“Keep watching the shop from a distance. If you see anything suspicious, report it immediately.”
Asher glanced around the store and nodded.
“Yes, I understand.”
There’s nothing wrong with having this kind of safety device in place just in case.
So, I left Asher behind and I went back to the inn.
As I was passing through the alleyway, a woman with a familiar face was walking by from the other side.
“···”
I paused for a moment and turned my head.
I stared at her back as she entered the potion shop I just came out of, and then immediately turned around again.

“I’m sorry, but we have received no information yet.”
The man wearing a black robe said in a calm voice.
Reef, who was sitting on the other side, just stared at him without saying a word.
“There’s really nothing! It’s light blood disease. Do you think it’s so easy to find a survivor of that?”
“···”
“We’re doing our best, but it’s something that needs a little more time. If you still want to cancel the request, there’s not much we can do…”
Biting her lower lip, she pulled out a purse from her arms and held it out.
The man smiled and took the money bag.
“I will try to expand the search area by mobilizing more manpower. Next time you come, I will prepare good news.”
Watching her get up from her seat and go out in a hurry, a subordinate, who was standing behind the man, asked quietly.
“Are you really going to increase the number of people investigating?”
“Are you crazy? We will not waste scarce manpower on such a useless thing.”
The man shook his head and leaned back on the chair.
“A survivor of light blood disease, there is no way to find it. Even if there is one, there is no way to know a cure.”
“But it’s already been half a year, isn’t it? At this point, the request can be canceled, but it’s tenacious.”
“She must have all known that deep inside. It’s all useless, anyway. She’s just doing this because she can’t put away her hope.”
The man burst out in laughter.
“Well, it’s okay if we just keep pretending in moderation and accept the request money.”
Reef came out of the information guild building and walked down the street.
Ignoring the surrounding glances, the next destination was the potion shop.
As she opened the door and entered, Gulpiro, who was smoking at the checkout counter, looked at her.
“Are you here?”
As if familiar, he pulled out a red potion bottle from the drawer.
Reef, who had a potion, took out a few silver coins and put them on the table. And without a word of conversation, she walked towards the door.
Gulpiro took the pipe he was biting from his mouth and said.
“I’m leaving Mahea soon. Maybe in a week.”
“···?!”
At that, she hurriedly turned around.
“Don’t worry. I have left the recipe for the potion to Marik at the Blue Dew Shop. Now you can get it from there.”
“Why are you leaving suddenly?”
“It’s just happened.”
She stood still for a moment, then walked out of the store.
“Tsk.”
Gulpiro, who clicked his tongue slightly, put the cigarette in his mouth again. Looking at the closed door with sad eyes.
