How to Live as an Illegal Healer

164. At the mansion 1

“Let’s start by reorganizing before we leave.”

“There are not many points left, so let’s go after treating a few patients.”

“First of all, I think it would be better to briefly explain to the branch manager Masen…”

Before leaving for the Spencer family mansion, Kang Seung-hyun and his party returned to the Adventurer’s Guild.

After all, it is to infiltrate enemy camps, but it is dangerous to go there without informing anyone.

“You returned safely. Would you like a cup of coffee?”

“No, thanks.”

“I came from drinking tea outside.”

The three of them explained the information they found out today to branch manager Masen.

“The culprit who tried to poison Elder Harvey and the power behind the Church of Wismel is Spencer Workshop Pengrill Spencer.”

“Pengrill Spencer… Was that him, too?”

Masen nodded while drinking coffee.

Rebecca sighed with a gloomy face.

“Oh, is the branch manager also familiar with Masen?”

“You know. I’ve seen it since I was little.”

Masen was also a native of Tracotti, so he knew Pengrill well.

“He is the head of the Spencer family, and he is a genius puppeteer who even started his own workshop at a young age.”

“Oh… the evaluation is surprisingly good?”

“The problem is that he’s self-centered and he’s a snobbish little boy who doesn’t know how to be considerate of others.”

“Not good.”

Masen didn’t like Pengril either.

It is because he is talented and competent, but because of his cold personality, he has a personality that easily hurts the people around him.

“For a guy like that to take control of Tracotti… It’s time for this town to go bankrupt.”

‘The annoying guy Le Peny was talking about was Pen Grill.’

Tracotti’s superficial leader is the doll studio to which Harvey belongs, but actual power has passed to Spencer’s studio.

Thanks to that, the Adventurers Guild had no choice but to pay attention to Pengril.

“The guy’s purpose is to make Tracotti the base of the Wismel Church. He even thought of inciting the residents of Tracotti by making Wismel dolls.”

“If a doll that looks just like God appears, all the other residents will turn into followers of Wismel.”

It’s an obvious scam, but there are no victims, so the adventurer’s guild can’t stop it.

Rather, if it is beneficial to Tracotti, it is a plate that should actively cooperate.

“Of course I don’t really like it.”

“I agree. The idea makes me feel bad.”

The whole town is about to play in Pengrill’s puppet show.

Masen, who loves Tracotti, couldn’t just watch it.

“Even if it benefits Tracotti right now, I don’t think the ending will be good.”

“The intention is good, but the method is wrong.”

“But because of the damn policy, we can’t officially step out…”

Masen signaled, and several union workers appeared with boxes.

Inside the box were various potions.

“I will support you with everything you need, so don’t leave it up to you.”

Potion is unavoidable.

Kang Seung-hyun answered while taking the stamina potion box.

“Please leave it to me.”

-After leaving the adventurer’s union, Kang Seung-hyun and his party headed for the Spencer family’s mansion.

The mansion was built southwest of Tracotti.

“It’s really pompous.”

“It’s a typical mansion for nobles to live in.”

The Spencer family’s mansion was an old building built with the characteristic red bricks of Tracotti buildings.

The exact year is unknown, but it seems to be at least 300 years old.

“It’s been a really long time here…”

Rebecca arrived at the mansion and looked up.

It is said that he has never been there since he became an adventurer.

“When I was young, I was always here with my friends…”

“It’s good to be soaked in memories, but first, let’s search.”

“Ah yes!”

The three of them approached the front door of the mansion. The door was firmly locked and there was a defensive magic to prevent outsiders from entering.

[Warning] [Prohibited access]

[There is a strong defense magic.]

[It’s a very complex magic, so it won’t be easy to solve.] [

Attack anyone who touches it without permission.]

[A key is needed to open the door.]

“It would be troublesome to break into it.”

“Well, since we have a landlord next door, it doesn’t matter.”

Of course, Kang Seung-hyun and his party were able to enter with confidence because they brought the landlord with them.

“Rebecca, please open the door first.”

“yes.”

Click.

Rebecca took out the house key and opened the door.

Thanks to this, the complex double and triple defense magic to prevent intruders did not touch Kang Seung-hyun and his party.

“Let’s go inside.”

“excuse me.”

Kang Seung-hyun and his party entered the mansion.

The overall atmosphere was neat and elegant, but in between, there was a dark and desolate atmosphere.

“It doesn’t look like a house where people live.”

“Does Pengrill live in such a gloomy house?”

“Originally, my older brother left home early and was living in a studio dormitory.”

Pengrill left home and lived in a dorm for a long time, saying he wanted to focus on making dolls.

However, after the death of his parents, he said he had no choice but to return home to take over as head of the household.

“At the time, I went back and forth between my house and the workshop due to the succession of the head of the household… I remember saying that I didn’t want to waste time like this.”

Now that she has become the official head of household, there is no reason to visit her house, so she seems to be living in the workshop again.

“Of course, it’s not Harvey’s Doll Studio, but Spencer’s Doll Studio.”

“Then who manages the mansion?”

It didn’t feel inhabited, but the mansion itself was very clean.

“I would have hired a servant.”

“Ah, originally, I was using hired workers, but my brother sent them all out.”

For reasons unknown, Pengrill, who took over as head of the household, fired all the employees working at the mansion.

“After that, tidying up the house…”

Rebecca pointed to the end of the hallway.

Objects resembling pure white mannequins were roaming the mansion cleaning.

“They over there are doing it.”

“Ugh! What is that? Are you a monster? This is a dungeon!”

“…That’s a cleaning mannequin.”

“that’s right. It’s a doll that my brother made in his studio.”

Pengrill fired all of his employees and began managing the mansion with a cleaning doll.

“A cleaning doll?”

“No matter how noble you are, using a doll instead of a human is a luxury.”

“Is this it? industrial revolution? Due to the development of machines, workers lose their jobs…”

Of course, operating a doll costs a lot of money, and even considering efficiency, hiring one person is much better.

It is not normal even by the standards of Azul Continent.

“You said you fired your employer shortly after becoming the head of household, right?”

“yes.”

“Then it looks like you found the Wismel data around that time.”

It seems that Pengrill sent all the people working in the mansion in order not to leak records about Wismel.

“Dolls don’t talk about what they see and hear.”

chin chin chin.

Pure white mannequins indifferently brushed and mopped, tidying up the ownerless mansion.

Kim Ho-jung muttered with a confused face.

“It’s like a horror movie, it’s scary… What if they attack us?”

“Don’t worry about that.”

chin chin chin.

At this time. The cleaning mannequins came closer, but they soon passed Kang Seung-hyeon and the others and went to clean up another place.

“Puppets used for simple labor work only move according to the commands entered. They’re cleaning, not guarding, so they won’t attack us.”

“If they attack, you can just hit it in self-defense and destroy it. Rather, it is a good thing.”

Seunghyun Kang smiled and walked past the mannequin. As long as there are cleaning dolls in the mansion, no one will disturb Kang Seung-hyeon and the others.

“Never mind, let’s do what we were doing.”

“Anyway, it’s a strong heart.”

“First, let’s look at Rebecca’s brother’s room.”

Kang Seung-hyun and his party proudly began searching Pen Grill’s room.

“This makes me feel like a thief.”

“It’s called a phantom thief.”

“I’d rather call it a bandit.”

I was wondering if there might be something.

“There is nothing…”

“Isn’t it empty?”

“Let’s look for another room.”

There was nothing in the room.

All that was there were traces of furniture that had been moved.

After that, Kang Seung-hyun and his party searched the library and even the warehouse, but there was no great result.

Rebecca said with a grim face.

“As expected, they moved all the materials they found to the Spencer Workshop.”

“Maybe.”

“Didn’t you rather rob Spencer’s workshop?”

“sorry. I think you just wasted your time because of me.”

“It’s late today, so let’s rest and tomorrow…”

Kang Seung-hyun was about to take out a stamina potion and drink it.

Took.

A cleaning mannequin walking from the opposite hallway collided with Kang Seung-hyun.

Chew!

The shock caused the stamina potion to spill onto the floor.

“Hey, look ahead!”

Kim Ho-jung shouted at the cleaning mannequin.

However, the mannequin didn’t care about the people in front of it and only wiped the potion spilled on the floor.

Kang Seung-hyeon looked at him quietly.

‘…if all the materials in the house were moved to the Spencer studio, there’s no reason to use dolls?’

There are still reasons to use dolls instead of humans.

The moment he remembered that, a thought ran through Kang Seung-hyun’s head.

‘Somewhere in the mansion there is information that outsiders should not know.’

I don’t know what it is.

However, given that it could not be moved to the Spencer workshop, it is assumed that it cannot be moved outside.

‘But where are they?’

First of all, it was not in Pengrill’s room or study.

Searching all over the mansion is a waste of time.

‘I’m sure Pengrill took over as head of household and got Wismel’s data…’ After

thinking for a moment, Kang Seung-hyun asked Rebecca.

“Where is Rebecca’s family room?”

“It’s on the first floor.”

“Let’s go there.”

Kang Seung-hyeon and his party headed to the house of the housekeeper on the first floor.

Since it was a room used by the owner of the mansion, specially designated cleaning mannequins were roaming around.

[Observation Eye]

Kang Seung-hyun activated the [Observation Eye] and approached the head of the house.

‘If I were the head of household, I’m sure somewhere in this room…’

As I looked at the desk, an informational message appeared.

It was a message that appeared from under the desk.

[The switch has been unsealed.]

[It was sealed for a long time, but recently someone broke the seal and revealed its identity.] [

You can open the door to the basement.]

‘I’m going to hide a secret to pass on to the next family head!’

Kang Seung-hyeon found a secret switch that went down to the basement.

Click.

When I pressed the button, a magic circle appeared under the desk and a staircase leading down to the basement appeared.

“You’ve found the first secret Pengrill was trying to hide.”

“What is this? stairs?”

“This house doesn’t have a basement…”

“This is a secret passage. It’s like being in a doll studio.”

This basement was a hidden space that could only be entered by manipulating a button.

“It cannot be used while sealed, but once the seal is broken, anyone can press the button.”

Even if you don’t necessarily have a family head, you can use it as long as you find the button.

So it seems that Pengrill has let go of all its employees and replaced them with puppets.

“Well, if it’s a doll, even if it finds a switch, it won’t press it.”

“What is down there?”

“Well? I don’t know what it is, but looking at how well it’s been hidden…”

Kang Seung-hyun said as he went down the stairs.

“It would be difficult if someone found out.”
