How to Live as an Illegal Healer

154. Doll Workshop 1

“Somehow, this is my second visit.”

“Yesterday was a tour, and today is an investigation.”

next day.

Kang Seung-hyun and his party headed to Tracotti Workshop Street.

The workshop distance was not much different from when I visited yesterday.

“Can you tell us more about Rebecca’s doll studio?”

“The Tracotti Doll Workshop is a group that boasts a history of hundreds of years!”

“You said that yesterday.”

“Uh… In our village doll workshop, all members have excellent doll-making skills and are very proud of it!”

In a word, a group of deceased people.

They are difficult to deal with as they have the pride of nobility added to them.

“I don’t want to meet proud nobles.”

“I can’t help it.”

Kang Seung-hyeon and Kim Ho-jeong grumbled briefly.

Both of them were the type that didn’t like nobles very much.

“What is the Rebecca Tracotti Doll Studio famous for?”

“There are many of these, but the most famous and representative product is the horse golem.”

“A horse golem?”

“Tracotti’s carriage is driven not by ordinary horses, but by golems made by puppeteers.”

Looking at the direction Rebecca pointed to, I could see a horse-shaped golem made of various materials such as earth and stone standing next to the wagon.

“Why are you using golems instead of regular horses?”

“The Red Forest is a dangerous area with many monsters. How can an ordinary horse hold up when monsters attack at every opportunity?”

Originally, Tracotti did not have a wagon, but it is said that the doll workshop developed a horse golem and that the wagon was able to come and go.

“The Horse Golem Carriage is a local specialty that can only be ridden in Tracotti.”

So when you leave Tracotti, it is recommended to rent a horse golem carriage or a horse golem.

Although it is a little expensive, it is convenient and safe.

“Ah, that’s why the lord of Kamar told me to go to Trakoti.”

“Tracotti is the only town in the Pitsta Lake area where you can rent a carriage.”

Wagons in other towns have all stopped running due to the rapid increase in monsters, but Tracotti, which uses horse golems in its wagons, can run without any major problems.

“Then, did we come all the way here because of the hardships we suffered because of the horse golem?”

“That’s it.”

Kang Seung-hyun and Kim Ho-jung sighed briefly.

If you think about it, even if the mage tower hadn’t collapsed, if Kamar hadn’t been ruined, there wouldn’t have been such a hard time.

“Now that this has happened, shall we go to the doll workshop and order a horse golem?”

“There is nothing wrong with making a reservation.”

Kang Seung-hyun and his party were about to head towards the doll workshop.

“Oh right!”

“Why are you like that?”

Kim Ho-jung stopped and headed to the corner of the workshop.

“I forgot to leave the amulet yesterday!”

“I’m already forgetful…”

“I forgot because I was busy!”

Kim Ho-jeong, who ran frantically to the tent of the street vendor, hurriedly explained the situation.

Fortunately, the shop owner remembered Kim Ho-jung.

“This is the amulet you ordered yesterday.”

“thank you!”

Kim Ho-jung returned with the completed amulet.

It was a small token-shaped amulet made by carving and baking a shape on clay dough.

“I heard that this is mine and this is the teacher’s.”

“Are there any special options?”

“I don’t have great abilities, but they say you can sleep well at night if you have them.”

Kim Ho-jung put the amulet in the inventory with a proud face. He said he would put it in a fish pillow.

“It looks pretty good.”

“Mine had a picture of a doggie on it.”

Kang Seung-hyun looked at the talisman he received.

It’s an ordinary token amulet made of baked clay, but unusually, it had a round flask picture engraved in the center.

“But I don’t think it’s a design for an amulet.”

“Since you are a healer, wouldn’t you have made it in the shape of a potion bottle?”

“If that’s the case, it’s not like I don’t have eyes to see.”

widely!

Kang Seung-hyeon threw the amulet into the sky, snatched it lightly, and put it into his inventory.

“Usually, round flasks are used for alchemy rather than potion manufacturing, but…”

“Ah, we have arrived at the doll workshop!”

Rebecca, who was walking in the lead, pointed to a building with a proud face.

The largest and oldest facility in Kobo Street. It is a tracotti doll workshop.

“This looks like a historical site.”

“It’s amazing that people live in a place like this.”

It was quite old as it was built hundreds of years ago, but it felt antique, perhaps thanks to the magic circuits scattered throughout the building.

The studio building itself was a cultural heritage.

‘A building this old must have hidden records about Wismel somewhere.’

Kang Seung-hyeon lightly scanned the studio building.

Tracotti itself is a village built deep in the forest, so unless there is something special, the building will not be destroyed.

“How does the doll studio work?”

“The tracotti doll studio has been passed down from generation to generation in such a way that the owner of the workshop is passed on to the student with the most outstanding skills.”

“It’s a meritocratic group.”

“Even if you are a commoner, if you have excellent doll-making skills, you can become the owner of the workshop.”

Groups with many aristocrats usually look down on people from commoners, but the Tracotti Doll Workshop strictly evaluates them based only on their skills.

“That part is strangely similar to the Mage Tower.”

“Because Trakoti is a town heavily influenced by Camar.”

“So even now, countless puppeteers are training to take over the workshop…”

Suddenly!

When I opened the studio door, I saw an empty building inside.

“What is it that there aren’t many people?”

“Something is sluggish.”

“How are you?”

Rebecca looked around in amazement.

There were at most three or four people making dolls.

“Originally, it should be full from here to there…”

“It’s empty and there are not many people working there.”

“Isn’t today the day off?”

“The doll studio is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

The doll studio that Rebecca remembers was always a crowded space, but now it was as quiet as a damn store.

“Phew….”

“When are you going to do all of this?”

Other than that, a few adventurers who seemed to be guests were wandering around. All of them were carrying bags of soil with tired faces.

“Are you doing a request?”

“Perhaps.”

Seunghyun Kang stared at them.

“What are you here for?”

Just then, a young man with ponytail hair approached the three of them. Judging by the way he was dressed, he seemed to be a puppeteer belonging to the workshop.

“I’m here to borrow a horse golem carriage.”

“I don’t want to ride right now, can I make a reservation?”

“You’re here to borrow a carriage…”

The puppeteer with ponytail hair sighed with a very tired face after hearing Seunghyun Kang’s answer.

“You need to get permission from Master to rent the Horse Golem Carriage.”

“Master?”

“You mean me.”

Hearing a strange voice, he turned around and saw a man with an impudent face approaching Kang Seung-hyun and his group.

He had a light beard on his philtrum.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Harvey Sarvan, a Master-level puppeteer.”

He said his name in an arrogant tone.

“He is the most skilled puppeteer in Tracotti and the owner of the Tracotti Doll Workshop.”

I expected it, but he was also the owner of a doll workshop.

Seunghyun Kang greeted with his usual smile.

“nice to meet you. My name is…”

“Oh, you don’t have to introduce yourself.”

“yes?”

“I’m not going to see you today anyway.”

Your name is not even worth remembering.

Harvey was saying it out loud.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you…”

Rebecca whispered quietly.

“The current owner of Tracotti Studio is really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad.”

“Yeah… it looks like that.”

Even though he had only talked to Harvey Sarvan for 10 seconds, Kang Seung-hyeon knew what kind of person he was.

“Then let’s get right to the point. How much does it cost to rent a horse golem?”

“Yes, how much is it?”

“5 million gold for a one-day rental.”

“what? Five million a day?”

Kim Ho-jeong, who was listening to the story, shouted with a puzzled face.

“Even if it’s 500,000 gold a day, it’s a bit expensive… You want me to pay 10 times that amount?”

“According to the Adventurers Guild guide, the cost of renting a tracotti horse golem would be 1.2 million gold for 3 days.”

“Isn’t that a total scam?”

“Originally, it was like that, but now the demand is quite high. I raised the price a little bit.”

Harvey Sarvan spoke with an impudent face.

“I think I sold it too cheaply.”

Originally, it is natural for the cost to increase when demand increases, but it is not normal to increase 10 times in 3 to 4 days.

“No, what kind of bastard do you have?”

“….”

“Mr. Kang, let’s just go to another store!”

“That’s it…”

Rebecca whispered with a confused face.

“The only person who can make a horse golem in Tracotti is the workshop owner, the elder.”

“what?”

“Your lady is right. Only Master can make a horse golem in Tracotti.”

The puppeteer with ponytails explained with a confused face.

“Originally, not everyone can make golems, and the horse golem is one of the most difficult golems to make.”

This is because it is not just about making the appearance similar, but each action must be implemented exactly like the actual horse.

“Unless you’re an outstanding talent like me, you can’t even imitate me!”

The only person who can do this in Tracotti right now is Harvey Sarvan, the workshop owner.

“So, in order to borrow a horse golem from Tracotti, you must get permission from Master.”

“If it looks good to me, I might cut it.”

Harvey Sarvan said, twiddling his chin.

“You go to the Red Forest to get some materials for making dolls or clean the studio building or something like that, right?”

In fact, if you look around, you can see adventurers doing all sorts of chores to borrow a horse golem.

“That’s why he was carrying dirt… he worked as an unpaid slave!”

“If you really don’t like it, you can just walk away. But you know how dangerous the Red Forest is right now, right?”

The otherwise dangerous Red Forest has become several times more dangerous due to the magic leaked from Camar.

Harvey Sarvan knew that all too well.

‘I expected it, but it’s really trash.’

If you are the owner of a doll workshop, you will not be short of money. It’s just an excuse to pamper someone below you.

‘A bastard who harasses his subordinates while sitting in a high seat.’

Kang Seung-hyun was a person who had excellent skills and talents, but hated people who used them unluckily.

‘What should I do with this guy?’

This type will eat the candy at any cost.

That was one of Kang’s iron rules.

‘hmm?’

At that time, a strange part came into Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes.

I didn’t know it at first, but Harvey Sarvan’s complexion was not very good.

‘Why is your complexion like that?

Kang Seung-hyeon unwittingly activated [Observation Eye].

Then a surprising informational message appeared.
