Chapter 143 – 139 Saint Farhists
Hwanin, who left the 8th camp, spurred on without hesitation at the soldier’s tip that it was a two-day walk to Farhist.
If it’s a two-day walk, it’ll take about half a day if emergency food and Kurti run at full power.
“Emergency food. Let’s arrive at Chengdu within today.”
Quet!
At the story of running fast, the emergency rations are excited and shake their tail feathers vigorously, kicking off the ground and jumping out.
When the lowest level of instruction was given to such Kurti and emergency food, the speed increased even more, and I began to feel the sense of speed as if I was riding in a sports car.
Still, on the back of the emergency rations, which barely swayed, Hwanin took a closer look at the ruby brooch Sidur had given him.
‘It’s not a topology stone.’
Even if you make skin contact with the jewelry, there is no feeling that the warmth inside the body is stimulated.
Is the design just so-so?
Compared to the colorful jewel brooches that would make the eyes of the earth wide open, it was a bit plain, but the brooch created by the harmony of gold and red felt somehow noble.
Hwanin, who was examining the gold ornaments surrounding the ruby like a flower, checked the back of the brooch, but found nothing.
Like a luxury product, there are traces of attention to detail on the back, but there is no pattern to hide the meaning.
In other words, if you want to make imitations, you can make any number of things.
‘But it couldn’t have been made so poorly.’
As I turned the ruby around, I could see a faint green light flickering in the center.
Since I haven’t heard of Ruby having this phenomenon, it would be more correct to assume that it is the effect of magical treatment.
Recalling what had happened as soon as he opened the sealed letter from Elkata, Hwanin put the brooch in his inside pocket.
‘Come to think of it, there was also an Awikk 3rd-class baron family mark.’
…… I thought about it for a while, but it seems like it would be better not to use this mark.
It was not a member of the clan, but a sign given by the guard. Even if you visit, you will be recognized only after proving your skills, proving your worth, and solving troublesome things.
Such a troublesome task was a specification on the part of Hwanin.
When the skill and reputation are built up and the title of Soul Master is ready to be used in earnest, it is meaningless because it will be easy to establish a relationship with a level 3 baron.
Hwanin, who put the brooch in his inner pocket, took the paper out of his fingertips and took it out.
This is Kant’s introduction.
“…….”
The letter of introduction says to go to a place called Ruslan Manor, but he has already made up his mind not to be indebted to this place.
The only thing that bothered me was that I had never received a letter of introduction like this before, so I didn’t know how to deal with it properly.
According to the general knowledge I’ve acquired so far, it would be right to show the introducer’s face even if it’s for the face of the introducer…….
‘I guess I’ll just have to show my face for a while when I leave Farhist.’
Hwanin also put the briefcase in his chest, held a pearl-colored phase stone in his left hand and a blood-colored phase stone in his right hand, and began meditation and mental concentration training.
But…….
Quhin.
It was literally fleeting, like a sports car on the highway.
Spotting a person walking ahead, emergency food automatically slows down and makes a disappointed sound.
As the sun began to rise little by little, they encountered wagons, wagons, people ahead, and wagons coming from the opposite direction, and they could not speed properly.
It’s already the 10th time to go and stop. I thought I would be able to run as much as I wanted, but in less than an hour, I stopped 10 times and the emergency rations whimpered.
Hwanin scratched the scruff of the emergency ration and looked around.
I see people clearing the camp over there.
‘Just because we arrived at the campsite around lunch time, we can’t rest there for the day, I guess.’
Isilite said to Hwanin, who pressed the hood of his black-grey leather jacket a little deeper, feeling the people passing by staring at him.
= Master. Wouldn’t it be nice to just get out on the edge of the road? Emergency rations and Kurti would be happy if I let them run in the meadow for the first time in a while.=
The width of the unpaved road is wide enough to be close to 8 lanes, but there is a lot of traffic to and from, so it is complicated.
If you walk at the same speed as people walk, you will have to spend a day more on the road…….
“It is. Emergency food.”
Coo!
Like a smart guy, he gets off the road and goes up to the meadow on his own even though he calls his name.
A meadow is not a place full of grass.
The road, which had been paved by millions and tens of millions of people, was sunk by a few centimeters and was even bumpy, so there were many people like Hwanin and Isilite who strayed from the road and walked.
Emergency rations and Kurti, who had distanced themselves from people, began to run at speed again.
= Master. Here’s a sandwich.=
“This bread…….”
=I got some from Sura before we left. It’s a reward for giving me the cooking recipe.=
“Right. Surely yesterday’s dinner was delicious.”
Hehe…….=
The recognition of her Hwanin made Isilite feel proud of her heart, and she felt a new sense of gratitude to the Hwanin for allowing her to live a new life.
She hadn’t thought just a few months ago that she would teach someone something and get something in return.
When it was lunchtime, Hwanin and Isilite made sandwiches with the prepared ingredients and ate a meal.
=And.=
Que~.
As the white city that fills the horizon appears over the long downhill road, which is close to a kilometer long, Isilite and Bichansik burst into exclamation at the same time.
Hwanin also admired a little inwardly.
I understood why Wayford was nicknamed a small town. Farghest was a city well over six times the size of Wayford.
Including the gates, the ramparts, which could be as high as 30m, were much higher than Wayford, and the magnificent white castle and towering spiers towering into the sky, which were built in what seemed to be the center of the city, were also incomparable to Wayford.
‘That must be the castle of the lord of the castle.’
You can see buildings like cathedrals, and there are buildings like the Colosseum all over the city. From a distance, it looks as if there are no slums, and it is so clean and white.
The huge granary area with a width of 10 km was enough to make Wayford’s wheat fields laugh, and the huge river that runs through the city while flowing noblely among such golden waves is another difference from Wayford.
Not only that, but the 1-shaped roofs that are close to each other in the far west of the city are probably barns.
It was probably a forest covering the horizon east of the city.
I can see the wall that looks 50% higher than the normal wall, but what is that place doing there?
I don’t see anything that makes Wayford better than Farghist, at least for now.
“Go down.”
=Yes.=
Watching people smaller than ants come in and out through the gate, Hwanin nodded his head when he saw that not only the main road but also the roads between the grain fields were paved in the Roman style.
Somehow, it keeps being compared to Wayford, but it is different in many ways from Wayford, where only the roads in the city, and even the general area, are paved.
And Hwanin realized, looking at the field, that the labyrinth’s soil quality and soil fertilization had been carried out here as well.
‘It’s more detailed than Wayford. The growth looks good too.’
Hwan-in, who arrived at the gates of Parchist after walking along the road where rich people passing by and people who looked like travelers were constantly coming and going, was surprised again here.
=Welcome to Parchist. Are there two people in your party?=
The uniform level of the guards at the Farghist Outer Gate was similar to that of the guards at the Wayford Inner Gate. In addition, 10 groups of 3 people in 1 group were carefully inspecting and inspecting visitors.
“Yes.”
When I presented my ID card to a guard wearing a white surcoat and a heavy infantryman, the guard asked with a smile.
=One person, please bring your ID and follow me.=
The guard wearing a helmet guided us to the guard post.
Inside, like Hwanin, five people with ID cards were waiting in line in front of the desk.
Hwaak-
The guard standing at the desk took the ID of the person waiting and held it to the blue crystal ball, and the ball emitted a non-dazzling white light.
‘Is it a function that identifies criminals?’
On his turn, Hwanin submitted even Isilite’s to his identity card, and white light emanated from the crystal ball without any problems.
= There is no problem. The toll is 1 silver coin per person and 5 ten copper coins per Que.=
The toll was quite expensive at 1 silver coin or 1 million won, but I saw common people at the entrance of the gate pay 1 coin.
It is probably a system in which the toll tax differs depending on the presence or absence of an identification card and status.
Hwanin finished the ID check without any problems, paid 3 silver coins for the toll, and left the post.
=Master.=
Isilite waits in front and gives the reins of emergency food to Hwanin.
Hwanin, who accepted the reins and entered the castle with Isilite, exclaimed slightly at the openness of the city, which was completely different from Wayford.
First of all, I feel that the city is clean from the entrance, setting aside the crowdy feeling of population.
The general section of Wayford was a bit better than the slums, in terms of the dilapidation of the buildings and the buildings, half log cabins and half stone houses.
Road pavement was also laid only on main roads and main roads in general areas, but Farkhist was different. Here, the road was paved even to a small alley.
In addition, the city was not divided into districts by walls.
Considering that there is no inner wall to the place where you can see the castle of the lord in the distance, it must mean that the security is very good.
Most of the buildings are white brick houses. There are also wooden houses, but they are not log cabins or shack houses like those in villages, but built with proper architectural design.
Average height is 2 stories. The buildings are wide apart, and there are many trees and shrubs between them, so it doesn’t feel like a desolate stone city at all.
Westernization, only the impression that it is an advanced city.
“Unlike Wayford, this city has a sense of openness. It looks clean even from the entrance.”
=The lord of Farghist has poured a lot of money into the city. All the land in the city belongs to the lord of the castle, and more than half of the houses are owned by the lord of the castle.=
‘It means that the saints themselves are no different from those of the lord of the castle.’
= Oh. Master here.=
Isilite tugged at her sleeves, and she looked over and saw a huddle of boys and girls who she thought she might be 12 now.
When people dressed as tourists approach it, they chirp and raise their hands like baby birds waiting to be fed.
And when I saw a traveler going into the city with one of them, I noticed why those children were gathering.
“Is it a city guide?”
=Yes. The first time you visit Farghist, they say it’s a good idea to take one of those kids with you for a few days. It is illegal for children to solicit guests in the city, but children in designated places like that are said to be educated by the city administrator.=
Hwan-in, who was about to approach the guide children after hearing Isilite’s story, was startled by the appearance of a large figure suddenly appearing from the side.
No matter how distracted you were when you arrived in a new place, you didn’t notice it while you came this close?
Then, he noticed from the concentration of his aura that he was a fighter of at least 6th grade, and the moment he unconsciously opened his soul sight, Hwanin’s expression became so serious that it was not revealed.
= Hey, thanks for the explanation. I was worried about what to do since it was my first Farhist, but thanks to you, my worries were resolved.=
= Oh, no. …… F, Fleur?=
= Right. Is it a bit big for Flöch?=
Seeing the grinning figure, Isilite reflexively tried to say, ‘It’s not that big-‘, but managed to swallow it.
He has pointy ears and silver hair, so Fleur would be right, but what kind of size…….
‘Are you of mixed Zilliant blood?’
His height is close to 2m, and his muscles are comparable to that of a male gorilla of the Human race, which can be explained by the Fleur and the Giant’s harp.
In addition, it comes even more distracting because she wears her heavy gray plate armor all over her body.
Looking closely, the shield on his back was a tower shield that looked like he was carrying a marble door, and his weapon seemed to be using a two-handed warhammer with one hand.
Issilite is smiling while trying to hide her tired expression…… She looked up at the woman.
She only noticed it because her voice was thin, and if she had kept her mouth shut, she would have mistaken it for a man. Because of its size.
=Yes. I’m even envious as a warrior.=
= But she’s not young as a woman. =
…… It goes without saying that she is so massive, but her hair and face are as beautiful as a woman’s, so the disharmony is extreme.
The giant Fleur laughed and patted Isilite on the back.
It’s ‘tuk’, but to Isilite’s feeling, it was ‘puck’.
= His stance and weapon are great, but if there is a chance, I want to compete. Are you in the tournament too?=
=No decision has been made yet.=
= Yes? If it’s decided, see you at the Expert Tournament. Enough!=
The giant Fleur, who smiled with a face so incongruous that it felt refreshing, pointed to one of the guide boys and walked into the city.
Isilite, who was looking at her back, gave strength to her eyes at her belated realization, and she stared at the giant fleur.
‘The weight of all the things she’s wearing would be close to 200kg, but there’s no sound of her footsteps.’
Are you really human?
When Issilite was surprised by the physical specs of the giant Fleur, her Hwanin was surprised in a different way.
‘It’s not the death of the soul.’
El Kata cited the amount of aura flowing from her body as a hallmark of Soul Master.
The aura of the giant was also the first to be seen. Because of that, she wanted to be a soul sign, but the eyes of the people around her were looking at other professions.
‘Then what is the amount of that aura?’
The aura of non-spirituals is basically the size of a baseball. When you start training to become a spirit master, your size will gradually increase to the size of a basketball in the past.
And when awakened by spirit death, the body is covered with a strong haze and the inside of the body is filled with spiritual energy.
But that giant fleur wasn’t a soul master, and it didn’t seem to be a tombstone, but the aura didn’t fill the body and overflowed outside.
It’s literally a huge amount. To the extent that Hwanin would have to hug him every day for several months to absorb all of his aura.
‘There is no possibility that Elkata gave the wrong information.’
If so, it is highly likely that it is one of the special jobs that Isilite told me about.
When I turn off the spirit sight and look at the giant fleur, I can see the aura more clearly.
An aura that spreads lightly like fog.
That’s it, I’ve definitely passed the 5th grade. A job that has proven its skills with the amount of aura, knows how to appreciate unintended kindness, and stands in the front line when looking at equipment.
“…….”
Hwanin’s eyes shone slightly.
