Weed-nim, you are wanted by the Embinyu Church.
Pursuers will be on the chase for your trail.
Along with the message window, Weed could see an image of what had happened within the Embinyu Church.
“Pursuers…. this will be annoying.”
If one’s notoriety for murder became extremely high, there were cases where the Kingdom sent pursuers. Those pursuers came chasing the trails fairly quickly.
Even if the first group fails, a second wave of pursuers will quickly follow. The next group of pursuers will higher numbers and superior skills.
It was virtually impossible to escape from a group of pursuers!
He would definitely be caught at some point.
Even if his movement speed was fast, or if he was a Thief or an Assassin with ‘Stealth’, it would only make a minimal difference on how long he can run. As the number of pursuers accumulated, outstanding Thieves or Assassins would join the group.
Weed decided to think positively.
“I did expect something like this was going to happen at some point.”
It was due to good fortune nothing like this had happened to him until now! Since he had accumulated many resentful relationships while solving quests, getting chased wasn’t surprising.
Anyway, accomplishing the quest here came first, since it was a chain quests with countless enormous rewards.
By Weed’s side were the useful Bingryong, Phoenixes, and Yellowy. Not only were the Guardian Knights of the Matallost Church unable to leave the area around the River of
Lamentation, but they couldn’t follow him to complete the quest because it was their duty to protect the Church’s temple.

Once Bingryong entered the scene, the Phoenixes lowered their wings and bowed.
Proper treatment to an elder brother!
Yellowy also displayed obedience, like a docile Korean cow.
Bingryong swelled with self-importance.
“You guys are working hard.”
“Not at all, senior. We are merely utilizing the path you have already cleared.”
Yellowy acted especially friendly.
“So you understand. In our time, we always listened intently to the words of our seniors.”
“Please tell us the ways of life and what we must do to endure living under our particularly evil master.”
Bingryong was greatly satisfied by the seniority treatment and told them the absolutely necessary information for living.
“No matter how hungry you are, you must eat cautiously. Never eat around the master. You’ll be abused for eating a lot. You must not recklessly eat meat dropped from any prey. You have to give the tasty and fresh meat to be sold.”
Yellowy and the Phoenixes understood and nodded their heads in sympathy.
“In the end, we have to live while only eating the food the master gives? When can we eat tasty meat?”
“You have to eat in secret. Be it hillock or hollow, you must fill your belly in such a place. The master has a talent for constantly keeping us hungry. Jeez. Does a boat get lazy if you fill it with oil? Make sure you eat properly.”
“As expected of our senior.”
“This is the wisdom I learned in life. You guys will also come to know it all with the passing of time, but I’m telling you beforehand so you don’t suffer. There are also times when you hunt with the master, right?”
“There are many occasions. We want some time to ourselves, but he always drags us along.”
“Watch out for japtem. He gets edgy when there’s less japtem drop. On such days, it’s good to not stand out and you have to pretend you’re hunting diligently.”
“Ooh, so that’s how it is!”
“He becomes extremely happy when a weapon or armor drops. Even if he was irritated just five minutes ago, he laughs mirthfully. When that happens, you must get close to him and imprint your presence.”
“Why?”
“We must flaunt our roles to him. With how much he nitpicks and abuses…”
This was vital information for a peaceful existence!
Bingryong fully did his part as their senior.
