Chapter 115 – 112 Small Town Wayford
=I’m glad you’re safe, Mr. Hwanin.=
Brillit, who came in with Isilite in neat trousers, bowed deeply to her and greeted her.
“…….”
Hwanin smiled silently and nodded her head.
= What are you talking about? Did you think that the master would fail in the 3rd level labyrinth?=
=Can it be?=
= Then?=
Brillitt looked at Isilite for a moment with her pitiful eyes, then turned her attention to her phantom.
It seems that Hwanin-nim understands, so it’s okay.
= What is it…….=
Isilite, who was staring at her ignoring herself and walking towards her master with a sullen expression, pouted her lips, took off her armor, and, with the permission of her phantom, Brill, sat in front of her. I glanced at Ritt.
The master seems to understand the meaning of that absurd statement, but what do you mean?
=On behalf of Mr. Susa, who was absent, I will give you a message from Anne Flint. Susa said that she was away from Wayford for four days due to the Lian Narin Company incident last night, and that he was very sorry that he could not accept Hwanin’s offer of a meal. =
“Four days is the minimum expected date for the labyrinth exploration I gave you.”
=Yes. Susa-nim also scheduled his return that day and left. By the way…… Are you really okay?=
“No problem. But Mr. Brillit managed to know that it was related to me.”
=In the early morning of the day Hwanin-nim entered, Susa-nim and I were in the labyrinth barracks. It was for product preparation.=
‘Yes?’
As Isilite listened to the conversation as she arranged her equipment one by one, she felt her head tickle and that something was about to take over.
I’m glad you’re safe She knew that something would happen in the labyrinth. She ▷ She witnessed Master and I entering the labyrinth.
…… Did you know that she went in with Lady Baek Ligang?
‘What. So, did she say good-bye when she found out that what happened last night had something to do with her master?’
Of course, Isilite had no way of knowing how Susa had noticed the identity of the Lady of the White River.
I know the cause and effect, so I feel like I just skipped the process.
I’d like to ask directly to confirm, but interrupting a conversation with the master is absolutely forbidden as a maid. Isilite suppresses her curiosity, gets in her car, puts it down in front of Master and Brillit, and stands quietly to one side.
Isilite’s behavior shocked Brillit on the inside, but on the outside she pretended nothing was wrong.
A ponytail tied her light brown hair into a ponytail.
A flawless white blouse and a leather corset that reached her waist. Dark gray pants neatly wrapped around the outstretched legs underneath.
Seeing the well-groomed young lady standing next to Hwanin with her eyes half-closed, Isilite, the farmhandsman Brillit remembered, wasn’t even there.
‘A person can change this far.’
Brillitt, who was on her way to visit her Hwanin-nim at the request of Madame Anne Flint, was the sword warrior who was walking in front of her and tapped her on the shoulder. She does and she used to think.
She pretends to know someone by touching someone she sees for the first time. She thought it was because she had no manners or because her eyes were bad, but she couldn’t believe it was Isilite.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t wait for Mr. Susa to return. If the opportunity arises, she will make it again next time.”
Brillit, who had been distracted by her thoughts, quickly came to her senses and answered the story of her ghost.
=Yes. That’s how I’ll tell Madame Anne Flint.=
“To Mr. Susa and Ms. Flint, stay healthy until the next meeting…….”
Seeing Hwanin stop talking, both Brillit and Issilite widen their eyes.
It was because Hwanin, who always acted with dignity, had never interrupted a conversation like this.
“…… Mr. Brillett.”
=Yes.=
“How much do you trust me?”
=Similar to Susa and Mrs. Anne Flint.=
Hwanin, who nodded slightly at the exemplary answer, gave advice with sincerity.
“Tell him you’d better consider leaving Wayford.”
I thought there would be an important story to come out, but could you leave the city? Brillit opened her mouth at the unimaginable story and asked.
= Uh…… May I ask why?=
“I can’t give you a clear answer because I haven’t seen other cities. There are only five mixed reservists I have found in this city. If you count the souls you haven’t found yet, you might be over twenty.”
=…… !!=
=…… !=
“I’ve heard that another spirit master will visit this city in the future, but no one knows when that time will be.”
He makes excuses by saying that he wants to stay in the city for a long time and bring all those souls to Buddhahood, but he has no choice but to leave Wayford due to circumstances.
Brillit was really worried with a serious face, then stood up and bowed to her Hwanin.
=I’ll be sure to pass it on to Susa.=
“Please.”
While her head is complicated by a serious story, it is Brillit who is sitting next to Hwanin, and her attention is stolen by the emergency food that has grown again.
Isilite and emergency food……. If you go with Hwanin-nim, do people and animals experience great changes?
Brillit, who was about to leave her guest room while thinking this, was caught by Isilite.
= Wait…… Let’s talk.=
=…… What story?=
=Okay, it’s okay, so follow me for a second.=
=…… ?=
She followed Isilite, who pulled her with her slightly reddened face, and Brillit failed to manage her expression after hearing Isilite’s story.
= Thank you. It’s thanks to you and Susa that I can serve my master. I am truly grateful.=
=Uh, uh.=
= I don’t think I’ll have time to say hello to Susa, so she says, but tell her that she’s also grateful to Susa. =
=…… Got it =
Hwanin stared at the blue sky outside her window, listening to Isilite holding onto her Brillit.
There is no Elkata, and Hien = Zod may come again sometime. Almost all the souls roaming the city have reached Buddhahood, and it is difficult to obtain a woman capable of absorbing aura.
Since she has experienced the labyrinth, she has nothing to do in Wayford.
Staying longer is a waste of time.
Even if she hadn’t said that Reshim would visit her today, she would have left Wayford thinking that there would be no remorse after seeing the Lyanarin Chamber destroyed and the leader of her Bloodhide Clan hanged.
“…….”
When she thought of the bloodhide clan members who were hanged in front of the magistrate, her eyes went to the red soul orb she had collected.
The remaining orb retention time is about 28 hours.
‘It seems that if I take down a human soul, it will have a different effect than beasts or spirits.’
I want to do some experiments on humans…….
If it wasn’t for Lessim and Baek Lugang, she would have experimented on the human body as a member of the raiding blood and hide clan.
However, he failed to do so, and if not now, there is no promise of when he will be able to experiment again.
Hwanin naturally imagined conducting human experiments on people in the back alleys of the general area.
“…….”
And he had a serious expression.
It was only for a moment, but the fact that he didn’t see people as people made Hwanin feel uncomfortable.
‘Is this the aftermath of the murder?’
Not one or two people, but four people on the first day and over 20 people on the last day. I didn’t feel anything when I died. It’s just a short impression that it’s easier to deal with than Lee Hyeong-jong.
And now, what I realized was a problem, I recognized as a big problem.
Even now, my head is filled with complacency about killing how many garbages that do not help society.
‘No.’
Whatever the other reason, if you want to live without harm in this world or on Earth, you should avoid killing as much as possible so that you do less damage.
However, if you blindly ban murder, this side could get into trouble. You can tell by looking at human crumbs or bloodhide clan raids.
Click.
=Goodbye.=
=Be well.=
As if the conversation was over, she looked at Isilite, who was saying goodbye to Brillit.
‘…… It would be foolish to entrust Isilite to judge whether or not there was a murder.’
Need a colleague
At least a ‘normal’ colleague who can judge murder for me.
It was long after lunch when Resim came.
=Through internal collaborators, 26 workers, employees, and gang members belonging to the Bloodhide Clan and Lianarin Trading Company were all captured or killed on the spot as suspects for planning the raid. Among them, the main culprit of this incident, 7 chiefs, including the leather clan leader Asia Ludan, were hanged, and it was decided that the remaining 19 people would be escorted to the border area of the evil faction.=
Among the rest of the general public who have not awakened, those who are innocent (mainly from the Chamber of Commerce) will be released through investigation, and the rest will be sent to underground mines.
“If you are an internal collaborator, is it an Inung woman who is the chief manager of Lianarin Trading Company?”
=Do you know?=
“Yes. She came to buy emergency food for 200 gold coins. He looked like he couldn’t accept it with a moderate refusal, so when I strongly refused, he got scared and left. From that appearance, she judged that there was no need to worry about future repercussions.”
= I see……. So when she encountered her, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
With Resim’s short muttering, Hwanin also quickly deduced what had happened through what had happened the night before, what he had seen in front of the administrator, and what had happened.
‘Aldjin Bere had the data of the Lianarin Company and the Bloodhide Clan from the start. And this time, he preyed on the clan and the company.’
Even with the cooperation of Ifrebel and Aldtis, it would have been impossible to obtain information for the operation in just 4 hours.
So Hwanin was sure. Aldjin = Bere said that he was aiming for Lianarin’s business from the beginning.
=…… Hwanin-nim seems to have grasped all the circumstances.=
“Aldjin Bere-nim must have had the information of the clan and company from the beginning.”
=…… Yes. She was extremely furious at the attack on the young lady, but she calmly commanded her troops and immediately froze the Lianarin Chamber and raided the Bloodhide Clan’s dwellings and facilities. No matter how you looked at it, it was like getting information from a long time ago. I’m curious why.=
Hwanin said in a low voice to Resim, who looked into the teacup with a slightly darkened face like a boy who looked into the dirty world of adults.
“Lianalyn is one of the three largest stores in Wayford. If such a place is swallowed up, the company directly under the Bere family, which is still only a medium-sized company, will be able to grow significantly.”
According to the knowledge gathered by Hwanin, among the twelve merchants in Wayford, there was one directly under the Bere family.
The problem was that the company directly under the Bere family was medium, not large.
Aldjin = Bere’s wallet will become even richer if the Lianarin Company is merged with the company directly under it.
= Ah. If this happens, you’re saying that you’ve been gathering data to devour it in one fell swoop…….=
“Of course, there is no doubt that the blood relatives were outraged by the attack. But on the other hand, it was a cool calculation and moved in a direction that benefited the family. If you are the lord of a castle, I think you should have taken such an action as there are many families and citizens to be responsible for.”
Hwanin took a self-defensive stance, saying that he had no intention of being hostile to the current Weiford barons and agreed with them, but Leshim didn’t care.
=…… What Hwanin said is correct. Lianarin Trading Co., On the outside, was claiming to be a general business, but in reality it was a stepping stone for the Bloodhide Clan to advance into the sun. The seeds of crime must be rooted out in advance…….=
Aldjin Bere’s actions to satisfy his own greed, using the fact that his relative was attacked by a young and innocent man of the Inrang tribe, are unintelligible.
But he was aware that he had to understand and accept. Because she herself lived in such a world.
Leshim explained the rest with a slightly flustered look.
=The Bloodhide Clan and the Lianarin Trading Company have completely collapsed. In particular, the Bloodhide Clan has been caught up to ordinary clan members, so there won’t be anything that bothers Hwanin-nim from now on. Likewise, thanks to the lady’s well-spoken words, the focus of this case was that an organization in the back alleys of the city tried to raid and kidnap the lady of the baronial family. The bloodhide clan’s past transgressions are gradually rising to the surface, so Hwanin-nim won’t be bothered by annoying eyes in the future.=
“Tell her thank you for caring about her.”
=Yes. We will be sure to tell you. And…… Thanks too.=
It was a story that left out the content of what to be grateful for, but Hwanin understood it without difficulty and answered quietly.
“Mr. Resim has nothing to be thankful for. I only escorted her according to the contract, and in the process, the lady’s bright and enterprising personality was a change made by the lady herself.”
He sees through and cares about his concerns.
Lessim was really sorry. If this person becomes a baron, there will be a small possibility that he will connect with a lady named Sarah, a spirit from a baron.
If you bonded with the lady like that, she would be able to live a happy life too.
=…… I can’t help but thank you.=
It’s a futile idea.
No matter how strong they are in the spirit world and have outstanding martial arts skills, a 6th-level noble is treated as a Junjin-goal. Would such a family accept being connected by blood with a spiritist from a dimension wanderer?
Absolutely not, Leshim could assure.
Although the value of being a soul Sarah is excellent, she is absolutely not able to accept that as a member of the family.
She can get along well enough by sponsoring her, but why does she have to accept her foreign blood into her family?
Barons of level 6 or higher are connected to each other.
It has been passed down from the distant past like an unwritten rule that grade 8 or higher jingol is only connected to each other, and grade 10 is connected only to the sacred bone that is connected by the blood of the sacred bone.
The family will never sit idly by when other bloods are mixed.
In the worst case, he could purge the young lady and even try to kill the target, Hwanin.
Even if Hwanin became a first-class or second-class baron by the appointment of a holy family, it would have to be supported by his own terrifying yet passionate efforts.
‘Miss…….’
The lady must have noticed that already. That’s why he must have shown a lack of energy after entering the castle.
=Then I will go back now.=
“Goodbye. We’ll see you again when we get a chance.”
Haha……. If you visit Prabur, please visit the Dringje family. We will welcome you with hospitality.=
“I will definitely visit you.”
After shaking hands with her phantom, Reshim looked up at her cloudless blue sky, revealing in her expression the melancholy of her young lady’s worries.
‘It’s damn blue.’
* * *
=Elkata.=
=Baek Ryeo-gang.=
Elcata, who was barely meditating in a small garden where little birds chirped and unknown flowers bloomed profusely, looked back at the lady of the baron who had appeared with a storm-like incident.
= I’m sorry. Did I interrupt your meditation?=
= No. Embarrassingly, I was wasting my time because I couldn’t shake off my thoughts.=
Seeing the Fleur spirit priest answering with a small smile, Baek Ryogang felt a faint reflection of a man and sat down gently next to her.
=…….=
=…….=
Prick- chirp.
Chong chong chong.
Small birds that came to the garden landed on the shoulders and heads of the two and sang.
Among the members of the family, the sight of Baekryeogang, a rare blue bird with thick blood, and Elkata, a tribe of the forest, sitting side by side in a pretty garden and playing with small birds caught the attention of passing attendants, maids and knights.
‘It’s a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.’
‘If I could leave that scene as a picture, I would pay any amount…’ ….’
Baek Ryogang looked at the little bird playing on her palm, then peeked at the quiet Eel Kata.
Wearing a pure white dress like her wedding dress and with a small tiara on her head, El Kata was a beauty she had only seen a few times in her life.
Baek Ryogang, wearing a dress designed by mixing white with blue, was as beautiful as her, but Baek Ryogang was heartbroken over one fact.
When she first entered Wayford’s castle, she first met Eli Cata, and Baek Ligang had no good feelings for her.
When she heard Hwanin’s short explanation, it was because she thought that El Kata had stolen her Hwanin’s performance.
But the truth was different.
As soon as Elkata was summoned to her castle, she frankly revealed that there was one other soul sage besides her own in the city, and that it was he who purged the souls that roamed the city.
= He who purifies even the mixture is the one who avoids people’s eyes and silently commits sexual misfortune. If the lord of the castle is interested, he will avoid it because it will be burdensome, so I recommend that you just watch from a distance.
= Personally, I really want to see him once……. Since the lady of the Elwidris family said that, I can’t help but obey.=
= If fate touches, how to always continue. If you have a relationship with Aldjinbere, you will definitely be able to meet him again in the future. =
And when she found out that El Cata had used her powers to divert her attention away from her Aldzin = Bere, she felt her crush on her.
= He is my…… You are like Jeongin.=
After becoming close with Elkata, who stays until the spirit knight of Yeongdo arrives, Baek Ryogang feels jealous after hearing her confession.
The words of a beautiful woman with a slight blush on her cheeks, which even a woman like her could fall in love with, were because it was an experience she longed for so desperately.
Forreung.
=…….=
Baek Ryogang, who was looking at the colorful little bird leaving the palm of his hand, let out a small sigh that filled his chest.
Seeing the girl in love she couldn’t help herself, El Katha smiled lightly and opened her mouth.
=Baek Ryeo-gang.=
=…… ?=
=I envy Baek Ryogang.=
=I envy Elkata more…… ?=
As she looked back at her and spoke, her white hair was momentarily clouded by El Kata’s eyes, shining as if her gold and silver light had permeated.
That…… What is it? Bai Lijiang blinked her eyes, and El Cata stretched out her hand with her kind face and gently caressed her cheek.
=The relationship between me and him is so thin that it cannot be continued even after that. However…….=
However? Are you saying I’m different? Could it be that Elkata-sama’s pupils are capable of foreknowledge?
I’ve heard of it. It is said that people who foresee the future are sometimes born in families that inherit the blood of the ancient Fleurs.
Bai Lijiang waited for El Cata’s next words with her heart pounding, but her complexion darkened slightly and the moment she held her own hand, her fear slightly choked her heart.
=…… You have two fates.=
= Hana is destined to lead a flat and decent life, both as herself and as her family, and achieve happiness as a woman. =
= One is a long, painful, cold, painful, exhausting hardship and thorny road. A fate that doesn’t even know if what lies at the end of it is the happiness you desire.
=You just have to choose which side to choose.=
=…….=
=Then the fate will be yours.=
As for Baek Ryogang, she was fascinated by her golden and silver eyes. After a while, she was only able to come to her senses when Le Sim came to visit her at sunset.
=This, Elkata-sama…… ?=
=You left with the spirit knights.=
= Ah…….=
=Are you okay? You look dizzy.=
= Yes. Are you okay. I’m okay…….=
Baek Ligang, answering her worried Le Sim’s question absentmindedly, raised her hand to her chest, looking up at the red sky where her world was burning.
‘My destiny…….’
