Chapter 102 – 099 Small Town Wayford
Malevolent malevolent-
“…….”
I came to the second cemetery to confirm the rumor, and there was a huge crowd gathered in front of the cemetery to the extent that the word crowding was appropriate.
It was impossible to break through that person’s wall and get inside.
Listening to the rumorsheheard on the way and the conversations of people watching from a distance, like Hwanin, it was certain that Elcata had awakened to the Spirit Master.
‘Then I guess I mistook a cold for awakening.’
I want to meet Elkata and find out what the real spirit life is like, but now doesn’t seem like an opportunity.
Hwanin, who was about to return to the hotel, heard someone running out of the crowd and approaching people nearby.
= Guys. Spirit Master is not at the graveyard right now. I heard you were called to the castle?=
=You’re not there, but why are people gathering like this?=
= You must be waiting because you want to see your face when you come back…….=
= Ugh. What are you going to do? Will you wait?=
=Well…….=
=I know when the spirit master will come. I just want to go back.=
= I will wait longer. Maybe now or never.=
=Since you entered the castle, you won’t be able to come out for a few days. I just have to go back.=
= Huh?! Are you all going!?=
Watching the people he was talking with leave, Hwanin also moved on.
‘I was called to the castle. Elkata promised to keep my identity a secret, so I won’t reveal it…….’
The Fleurs are a race that cannot lie as much as they can see through the lies and truths of others.
And the people who are respected throughout the continent. Now that I have awakened as a spirit master, I don’t think the Baron will do anything bad to Elcata.
Moreover, she is Fleur. If it is known that Luke and the Baron persecuted the Floe Spirit Corps, the Tribal Alliance to which the Floe race belongs will not stand still, so they will not treat it carelessly.
‘It may take some care, but the public eye is on Elcata. It’ll be all right to cleanse my soul tonight.’
After El Kata awakened as a spirit priest and was summoned to the castle, all the eyes of the citizens, whether it be the streets, the main streets, or the general districts, turned to the castle.
Thanks to this, Hwanin, whose activities became easier, went out every night to find spirits roaming the city, resolved their lingering feelings, and helped them attain Buddhahood.
In the middle, thanks to the tricky soul, the time was delayed a little bit.
Memories from the past are vague and you can’t find the person you want to see, the bereaved family has left the city and you can’t resolve your regrets, or you want to murder.
Except for that case, with the knowledge he gained while wandering around Wayford, he was able to attain Buddhahood for 42 souls in 5 days.
Mental training during the day. Soul purification at night.
It was a fulfilling five days, but it was also a time when I realized that uneasiness was lurking everywhere in Wayford.
‘There were many owners of lingering feelings stained with anger and hatred in the general area.’
Most of them will naturally achieve sexual maturity as their anger and hatred will fade over time, just as color fades in the sun, but some of them were souls burning with such resentment that even Hwanin would be reluctant to touch them.
A soul burning with resentment and anger to the extent that one wonders why it might be mixed.
Such a soul spent time trying to persuade, but it didn’t listen. The number is five.
Two of them were examples of innocent innocent people getting caught up in the manipulation of a back alley organization or dying unjustly due to an operation, so Hwanin did not interfere anymore.
It is not because killing a living person to help the soul attain Buddhahood is morally problematic. Murder is a serious crime in this world. There is no reason to cover up such a sin for a soul that has no one to know.
If they turn into a mixture and turn the city into a mess, that’s a problem this city will have to deal with.
However, the other three were a group of people who caused corruption in the slums of the general district to the extent that they belonged to evil even by universal moral standards.
Hwanin did not hesitate to try the forced purification that Elkata had said.
It wasn’t difficult even if it was forced purification. It just pierces the spiritual body with the soul arrow.
Until it pays off.
Fit-
「Quaaaaa…… ! You are so…… ! Help me…… !”
‘You are too much. To kill all 47 members of the organization? Do you want to become a demon?’
“However…… My grudge for being killed while being used…….」
‘What will you do with the grudges of the innocent people who died at your hands? Shall I change your soul to relieve their grievance?’
“That, that…….」
Blood shot-
「Quaaaaa…… !”
「Decide. Will you put down your resentment and achieve Buddhahood, or will you be destroyed by my hands?”
「Huh, huh…….」
Roughly in this way, if you pierce the soul arrow 10 times, you will attain Buddhahood with a vain face as if your emotions have been largely bleached.
The first time I tried forced purification, I put a curse on it and shot 4 stacked soul arrows.
‘I broke out in a cold sweat because my soul almost perished in one generation.’
After absorbing the droplets of light left by the third and final soul, Hwanin passed through the back alleys of the general area filled with unpleasant silence and headed for the main street.
Soon it’s time for the sun to rise. I was thinking of going back to the Olts Hotel among the crowds of people heading to the main street early in the morning.
After moving among the people and showing his dog tags to the guard at the second inner castle gate, Hwanin entered the main street and slightly frowned at the scenery 180 degrees different from the general area.
‘It’s quite nerve-wracking.’
Although they are all inhabited, the difference between the main street and the slum in the general area is too extreme.
It is said that moderate discrimination is helpful in revitalizing the economy, but this is not included in that “Moderation”.
It is a slum for people who cannot afford to eat even one meal a day. As a result, the souls who died in the pit of despair.
Their deep grudge.
I didn’t even look at 1/20th of the general area, which is 10 times wider than the high street and main street combined, but I saw only five spirits that were likely to be mixed.
Simple arithmetic means there are 100 mixed reservists at Wayford.
‘It’s none of my business, though.’
The reason why he suffers from spiritual misfortune is only for the growth of his superpowers. Collecting the light drops of the soul, training the soul skills, and absorbing spiritual energy should be done evenly so that the supernatural power grows well.
So, I don’t care what happens to Wayford, but I feel like I’m worried because of the feelings of hundreds of souls I’ve felt.
‘I accepted too many unnecessary emotions. I guess I’ll have to go back and practice meditation.’
Hwanin, who was walking with that thought in mind, noticed that he was passing in front of a high-ranking military officer, Heyern.
Early in the morning, the front of the senior military officer was crowded with people waiting for the opening.
If this number visited every day, earning 15 gold coins a month would not be a task.
It’s not just training, but it seems like the instructors go into the labyrinth once a week for the purpose of training, so the income must be higher.
‘That’s enough, so he must have proposed confidently without thinking that he would be rejected.’
As I passed by from a distance, I glanced through the open gate and saw Hayen=Jod giving orders to people dressed as military officers.
It is unusual that he has a calm expression and is dressed as a senior instructor, unlike before.
As far as Hwanin knows, Hien = Zod didn’t wear a military uniform. There must be many reasons, but he probably didn’t want to wear it because it felt like a clunky and slightly baggy sweatshirt.
It was like that, but the appearance of checking and accepting the daily visitors in military uniforms looks like the next official.
‘Did he realize his situation?’
The image of him recovering after his proposal was rejected like a knife. It’s not bad. I wish I could stay like that for a while.
In a few days, Isilite will appear. After that, if she enters the labyrinth without light, she will not meet her in the meantime, and after she has been through the labyrinth, she will leave Wayford. There will be no
That evening, Hwanin met a guest who came to visit him.
=…….=
“…….”
A tiger-headed man with a whirlwind of fiery yellow aura on his arms and legs.
He was 2.5 meters tall and had a steel-hard spirit, Hayern = Zod, Haien = Zod’s father, and was a 7th-level professional with a senior military officer.
‘The gap is more enemy than I thought. Even if he fights only with skill, he won’t be able to finish it short.’
The 5th grade, Hien = Zod, was a walking gaping mass. He was also similar to Ctachinan from House Awick, who was of the same 5th class.
But Heyern = Zod, no matter how carefully you look, there are only four or five gaps in each part.
If you start a confrontation, you can create gaps, but it seems difficult to win at once.
Of course, this is a story when it is limited to a technical competition. Hwanin’s defeat is certain when Hierne = Zod begins to demonstrate the aura that wraps around his limbs, and the question becomes how long he can hold out.
‘…… I don’t know. I can’t tell because I haven’t checked the level 7 combat power.’
While Hwanin was analyzing his opponent like this, Hierne = Zod was also analyzing Hwanin in front of him.
‘If he had been a professional, he had the qualities that would have made him a loser…… It’s a pity.’
That day, when he saw Hwan-in beating his daughter-in-law, Hierne = Jod endured it because of his dignity, but inwardly he was beating his knees.
This is because Hwanin’s martial skills were almost invisible even to his own eyes.
In terms of skill alone, she is two levels higher than the tomboyish daughter.
Hayern = Zod, feeling sorry for the figure of Hwanin who did not waver even in front of him, took out a silk pouch from his bosom with his sharp and pointed nails and put it down in front of him.
Jiggle-
The silk pouches, colorfully embroidered in red, gold and blue, give it a metallic feel.
= First…… I would like to thank you for disciplining my helpless daughter.=
“…….”
=Thanks to you, my daughter, who had been wandering around after reaching the 5th grade, came to her senses. This is a token of her appreciation for him…… Giving her daughter on the condition that she not approach her anymore…… ?=
Hwanin picked up his pocket before Heyern = Jod’s words were finished. It was a pocket the size of a fist, but it was heavy.
‘This is at least 10 gold coins.’
Heyern = Zod was speechless at the Hwanin’s actions. No, the decision is too quick? Didn’t he say that he had a serious and considerate personality?
If he didn’t listen, he was going to accept it even if he showed some strength, but now that it’s in this situation, there’s not a little feeling that he’s been hit.
Hwanin looked at the slightly frowning tiger-patterned face and said,
“I am leaving Wayford in a few days. After that, I will never come back again. The reason I rejected my daughter was partly because she was not a good fit for me, but this reason was the main one.”
= Um…….=
“They said it was a reward for helping with that, so I couldn’t decline because it was a car that needed travel expenses. Please understand.”
=Yeobira, how far do you want to go?=
“For now, the current destination is the leadership of the Tribal Union.”
= Is it Merianol? It’s far away. If you don’t mind, I’ll tell you why.=
“It is a journey to return to the homeland.”
Hearing Hwanin’s calm reply, Heyern = Zod crossed his arms with his forearms like wooden beams and breathed lightly.
At the same time, she examines Hwanin up and down with the fierce eyes of a tiger.
=…… Since you accepted my offer unconditionally, I will also give you one piece of advice.=
“I will listen.”
Heyern = Zod felt sorry for him again in his heart at the manner as polite as that of the high family. If this man had been a career man, he would rather have taken the initiative in his daughter’s marriage himself.
However, the man in front of me didn’t feel any phase power. It’s just too bad.
=Cultivate strength.=
“…….=
= Power to the point that even the central power of the city cannot do anything to you. Until you develop enough power…… It would be better not to step into the leadership of the tribal union.=
“…….”
=Looking at the expression, I can guess.=
“I need reassurance.”
= I can’t answer more than this. Understand.=
Having said that, Heyern = Zod stood up without a sound, gave a small nod to Hwanin who stood up with him, opened the door that was significantly lower than his height, and left the parlor with his back bent.
“…….”
After the tiger man left, Hwanin sat down and untied his silk pocket.
‘Fifteen gold coins.’
He was a Hwanin with a smile on his face because of the unexpected large amount of unearned income, but after a while the smile was erased and he was lost in thought.
The black eyes staring at the bonsai on the table sink deeply.
‘Hayern Jod seemed to know something about me.’
A few troubling things come to mind.
A world where Earth’s culture spreads.
A race whose mindset is similar to Earth’s humans.
As soon as I picked up the tribal union-led currency, I was forcibly transferred.
A 7th grade job that warns a specific city.
There is a joke that the US tortures aliens to steal or create technology.
What if something like that existed in this world?
Returning to the guest room, Hwanin looked out the window at the streets where neatly dressed people came and went, and muttered while fiddling with the tribal union gold coins in his pocket.
“The world is full of shit.”
Until now, I was just strengthening my mind that it was fun because I could see the growth through training, but from now on, I have one more reason why it is not so fun.
The day dawned on the 40th day after Isilite entered the Advanced Maid Training Institute.
=Miss Isilite is a happy maid. An owner like Hwanin even waits for me to be discharged like this.=
Susa’s wife, Ann Flind, said that she didn’t have to wait, but she said that considering her routine, it would be advantageous in terms of time if she waited and dragged right away.
She has to go to Bai Lijiang and reconfirm her contract, prepare weapons and armor, and prepare to eat and sleep in the labyrinth.
She even wondered how much Isilite would have changed in 40 days.
“It is a fate that will be with us for a long time to come. I just thought it would be nice to take care of it.”
Of course, this is also true. It’s not just a horse face for more than a few days.
It was about 10 minutes after waiting at the entrance of the red brick-style convent-like training center.
The dark brown door opened and two women walked out with calm steps.
One was wearing something like a black nun’s uniform, and the other was wearing a white shirt and black skirt, like the western style of the enlightenment period.
A woman carrying a rivet-studded trunk bag the size of her porcupine herself turns around with her back slightly bowed to the woman in her nun’s attire.
“…… Her.”
And as soon as she saw her Hwanin, her face brightened and she came running with a light brown ponytail that stretched down to her back.
=The appearance of a farmhand has been neatly removed.=
The change in her Isilite was dramatic enough for Anne Flint to evaluate it that way.
She has transformed from an old mercenary who seemed to have rolled on the battlefield for decades to a well-educated, neat young lady from a rich family.
=Master!=
There was also a cataclysm in Isilite’s appearance, which was welcomed.
Her hair, which had been so messy that it couldn’t be said to be soft with good words, was neatly tied up so that it could be said to be calm, and her skin, which looked rough, was smoothed out, and maybe she even learned to make up, she kept a natural look with natural makeup.
With the addition of a melee worker bonus that enhances her physical abilities, she has become a lively and innocent beauty that men cannot look back on.
=…… Master?=
Seeing her unanswered Hwanin, Isilite calls her again with a slightly anxious expression on her face.
“Okay. She’s changed for the first time she doesn’t know the outside.”
When Hwanin, who was relieved of the shock of transforming a wild female monkey into a rich lady, said, she smiled as if Isilite was lucky, put down her trunk bag, and politely took the scroll she was holding in her other hand with both hands. Stuck out
When she received it and opened it, it was a report card.
Name: Isilite
Sexual
Conduct: E ▷ A
Conversation: E ▷ B
Skills: C ▷ A
Knowledge: C ▷ A
Total score: D- ▷ A-
Note: This student completed all of her education with high grades with an enthusiastic learning attitude…….
In the comments section, Isilite wrote a 500-word note praising her teaching attitude and her ability to learn, summarizing that in just 40 days she had achieved the equivalent of a two-year intensive course. .
=You have changed so amazingly.=
=Thank you, madam.=
= Whoops. It’s like we want to hire him.=
= I’m sorry. I have no intention of serving anyone other than the master.=
= I know. If it wasn’t for that mindset, she wouldn’t have been able to achieve that in just 40 days. =
Hwanin folded the scroll of her report card and gave it back to Isilite, praising her.
“Good job. The result is beyond my expectations.”
=Then…… ?=
“Okay. I wish you well in the future.”
=…… Yes! I wish you well, master!=
Seeing Isilite smiling broadly and rejoicing quietly, her phantom decided to send her to the Maiden Higher College Technical Institute in her capital.
