After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

31 – Curiosity

[ Pharmacological analysis of magic for blackening drugs in Shale cults ]

– These characteristics have been observed in subjects addicted to the drug. Significant aggression, intensification of negative emotions (especially with an inferiority complex), and a tendency to take physical harm.

– What is unique is that all drugs that give these effects can act as brainwashing drugs for the Shalam Bridge. A detailed follow-up study on this seems necessary.

… Finally, the thesis of the Magic Pharmacology Society.

Ian stretched after reading all the books on Shalam Bridge recommended by the librarian.

Most of them were confirmations of the information I already knew, and I also learned new, somewhat specific details.

“Should I purchase advanced information from the guild?”

At the end of most books, there was a phrase [For the latest information and specific information, please contact the ㅁㅁㅁ guild].

As much as the group called Shalam Gyo is an organization, it must be because of the great value of related information.

“It’s rather nice.”

Information that Ian possesses as if it were taken for granted.

If the value is high, it is rather good.

However, you cannot blindly sell.

The fact that information is highly valued means that it is worth it. Information sold thoughtlessly may affect the story.

Therefore, I plan to approach information sales with caution.

The first method is to use Sylvia, the waterlord who has some understanding of the target.

The second way is to use Kirtos’s anonymous chat to sell small pieces of information.

The concept for the second method has been conceived to some extent.

“Let’s register while we have time.”

In a corner of the library, a rare seat.

Ian took out the Kirtos terminal.

Then they dug a room.

【 ★Free today only★ Prophecies certified by masters! We’ll give you a free divination today only. (First 3 people) 】

“Is this title enough?”

How to sell information as safely as possible.

After much consideration, I chose the rather subcultural method of prophecy.

The reason for taking such an ambiguous position is simple.

‘Because I don’t have to reveal the information I have in detail.’

For example, if the ground of the academy were shaken by tomorrow…

– A lot of anger. You seem to be patient, but there is a lump in your heart. Fire is fire. The problem isn’t just you. A lot of anger comes out someday. Not long ago Go look under your feet about three days.

Just this vague explanation.

To be honest, Ian didn’t have the confidence to say anything plausible.

‘People who are interested in this field understand me even if I talk nonsense.’

There was shamelessness.

Anyway, don’t you know the real facts?

If word of mouth accumulates to a certain extent, it will be easy to touch activity funds.

Anyway, since Sylvia is a dependable water owner, I won’t be too greedy.

Next, how to use it.

I put a simple usage method that is automatically displayed under the chat window.

— A prophet who was trained by the Great Prophet Mano.

— For accurate consultation, please write down the personal information such as the counselor’s name, department, age, etc. In as much detail as possible.

* Direct chat inquiries are politely declined. Please be polite.

“Hmmm. Good.”

At the phrase full of truth, Ian nodded in satisfaction.

How did you receive the study of the great prophet?

When I was playing Fanta X Arca, I received an experience book from a great prophet named Mano while raising a prophet character.

“Then what is a disciple?”

Then, this is enough for rice cakes.

Ian got up from his seat.

I plan to check in a few hours to see if there are any fish that will bite these rice cakes.

“I need a means of attack.”

Academy North.

A place where dangerously rising mountain peaks are lined up as if threatening people.

Ian is walking along the foot of the mountain there with Sylvia and a guide.

“…They called me out of nowhere. Did you ask me to come to a place like this?”

“Did you expect anything?”

“Hah? No! They say there’s a hidden dungeon…”

There is a hidden dungeon here.

The goal is to find useful attack items.

Of course, it uses land magic (physical), but it has limitations in terms of explosive power and range. This is because of the characteristics of the extraction and transformation abilities, in which the difficulty increases exponentially as the target is separated from the body.

It is said that a little bit of temper is needed for the scenario that is right in front of you.

The reason he seduced Sylvia was to pass on the cost of hiring her guide. In addition, it is beneficial in many ways because it will be a power in case of emergency and show the owner of Ian’s own intelligence.

“This way.”

As soon as the guide stops, Sylvia comes and sends a whisper.

“Is this right? Is there such a thing as a hidden dungeon?”

With Sylvia behind, Ian bowed his head to the guide.

“Enough here. Thank you.”

Sylvia was taken aback when the guide was sent back.

“Now, wait a minute. Do you know how to get back?”

“Don’t worry.”

This is the beginning of the northern mountain range.

Since the magic of the guide map that came with the announcement of the combat practice was still there, it was enough to look at it on the way back.

Ian went down inside.

Sylvia, who grumbled for a while, follows right away.

A V-shaped valley where the energy of both mountains gathers.

After wandering under it, I found a small tunnel.

“This is the entrance.”

“… This is the entrance? Nothing?”

Sylvia looks around.

There are only mountains to the right and to the left.

“What nonsense…”

Ian put his hand on the ground.

“See this hole?”

“…Yes. It looks like a snake den.”

“This is the entrance.”

“…What is that?”

Having swallowed her words of nonsense, Sylvia closes her eyes.

Shape using magic power detection.

Her eyes widen in an instant.

“It’s true! I can only feel the magic inside through this hole! But how does this go in? The hole is too small.”

“Payage.”

“… Selling this? Just the two of us?”

Sylvia walks on her arm while embarrassed.

Feeling the vitality of her life in her appearance, Ian involuntarily smiled.

“Why are you laughing!”

She had an agitated Sylvia behind her, and her Ian put her hand on her floor.

“Huh!”

And then take a deep breath.

Extraction and Transformation.

The dirt dug up immediately piles up on one side.

A tunnel wide enough for one person to enter.

Sylvia’s eyes widened.

“Ah, no, how could you do that much dirt at once! Have you been hiding your power?”

What’s hiding the power?

Originally, the field of heavy equipment was the most specialized for Pongpong.

There is no chance to show off at the academy, which only teaches infinitely lofty skills.

“Let’s not talk nonsense.”

Sylvia, who was embarrassed for a while, followed Ian and entered.

Tunnel made of soil is temporary.

Soon after, the cave opened up.

Seeing that figure, Sylvia muttered involuntarily.

“Well, really dungeons. I can’t believe there are unknown dungeons around Lichten Academy.”

There are hundreds of small and medium guilds around Lichten Academy. No wonder they wander all over the place. But there was such an unknown dungeon?

Sylvia stared blankly at Ian, who went ahead of her.

◆

Sylvia is basically a busy being.

Her ‘busyness’ is fundamentally different from other people’s ‘busyness’, because she is the heir to a huge merchant guild and an injured sophomore.

Naturally, most of her daily life is at work.

It’s a story that I’ve never had an interest in people other than work.

But these days it’s different.

She had one person who piqued her curiosity.

— [Ian]: Sylvia. Is it time Wait, let’s go somewhere together. As soon as.

When Kirtok came like that in the first place.

Of course, there was no such thing as time.

Sylvia’s head was on the verge of exploding due to the pouring business of the guild.

But Sylvia replied like this without even realizing it.

— Do you have enough time to listen to what’s going on? What’s going on?

Ian Black Angus.

This man stimulates curiosity.

Since the person Sylvia is experiencing is a completely different person from the rumors.

Ian Black Angus is the one who babbles at anyone, shows strange obsessive behavior when he is not accepted, and drives all sorts of bad rumors around thanks to him.

But what about Ian she experienced?

I know the monster’s weakness, and I said that I would reward you, but instead of a confession, I asked for a stone. He carries that stone behind his back as a magic wand, and his skinny body can be seen gradually gaining muscle. If you send Kirtok once, you don’t get a reply until 10 hours pass.

‘…What the heck is this guy?’

For Sylvia, Ian is a being that sparks maddening curiosity.

SonTalk came from such a person.

I hit everything and came out.

‘I know Frostbear’s weakness, and he might be a big deal unexpectedly!’

I repeated that excuse in my conscience, but in fact, I was just curious.

And… Now here, in the dungeon.

“You really don’t disappoint.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

Looking at Ian, who was ahead of her, Sylvia felt her curiosity grow even more.

‘… Have you changed?’

Muddy water in the corner of an etheric class building. From the first time they met there, she noticed that her Ian had changed.

However, this level of change is at the level of metamorphosis.

I know the location of the dungeon that no one has found, and a few people cling to it and dig up the soil at once, which should have been a struggle for hours.

‘…Or was he hiding his power?”

I am very curious about Ian as he walks ahead and explains the outline of the dungeon.

“… There are probably junk mobs inside. It’s not that big of a dungeon. But you have to be a little careful with the boss. Instead, the rewards are great.”

The dungeon briefing is perfectly neat. His voice is cool… No, calm.

I was curious about the person named Ian.

How much power they hide, how many things they know, and what kind of past they have lived.

‘No, wait a minute.’

Sylvia suddenly realized.

Because I was concentrating on Ian, I just said something I shouldn’t have said.

“Wait a minute. The distribution of rewards!”
