Chapter 148 – 144 Saint Farhists
The temple sells various potions, cures, and consecrated items for other income.
From the consecrated mouthpiece recommended by the noblewoman, to weapons and armor with real holy water and phasic power claimed to be holy power, to accessories made with symbols of the temple.
It seems like it handles pretty much anything.
As soon as Hwanin entered the temple through the entrance and portal, he encountered a wall of crowds.
Rather than the dark, high vaulted ceilings and intricate craftsmanship reminiscent of an opera house…….
Malevolent malevolent-
The image of the people who were almost united in one mass and buzzing was the illusion that made me more speechless.
“Excuse me. I will pass for a while.”
=Oh, don’t push.=
=Ouch, Ouch.=
The sex ratio is so biased that there are 9 women for every 1 man, and passing through the entrance to the nave filled with the scent of women is quite embarrassing.
You have to go through this to enter the holy relic room. Every time you move there is a woman, and every time you move there is a woman. Every time you move, a woman’s arm or shoulder touches you, and sometimes her elbow touches her breast.
=Kyaa.=
“I’m sorry.”
Realizing that the soft touch of her elbow had pressed some woman’s breasts, he immediately apologized.
= Oh, no…….=
Fortunately, the woman did not criticize and moved on.
After that, her hood came off somehow, and from then on, somehow, she felt that women were blocking her with her body, and she couldn’t even dare to wear the hood again.
=… Where did you go…….=
=…… Nice guy… Gone…….=
=… Sorry…….=
Hwanin was a little exhausted and straightened his strangely tangled clothes, looking at the inside of the temple.
The interior emphasizing vertical lines was wide enough to be hundreds of pyeong.
Auxiliary columns are lined up on the left and right walls at regular intervals to form an arcade of pointed arches, and opaque brown glass windows are attached to the ceiling instead of stained glass. In progress
The crowd was full of people not only in the corridor, but also in the left and right corridors of the groom.
There are no empty seats in the mass space in front of the inner altar, waiting for something while wearing mass, and those who could not enter (mostly women) are standing near the porch.
At that time, a small commotion broke out at the entrance.
=Where are you touching!=
Squash!
= Kuk. Mi, I’m sorry. It was a mistake…….=
= Kyaaak! Did you just touch my ass?! Isn’t this person a pervert?!=
Match!
=Billion!=
= Everyone! This person has been touching the women around him since earlier! Isn’t that an evil intention?!=
=Yes?! Oh no! I have something to do in the relic room…… !=
= Enemy of this woman!=
= Ugh, billion! Sleep, wait…… Keuok! Don’t pull your mane, just talk…… !=
The man’s urgent cry, the woman’s high voice, I glanced in that direction, but I couldn’t see it because of the human barrier.
Hwanin looked back at the statue of the beast god with holy shadows in the sunlight resembling gold, and looked back at the people lined up on the left and right of the boat.
People lined up in front of standing marble bowls to the left and right of the boat to wash their hands in holy water.
If you add these people, the people standing in the corridor, and the people sitting neatly in front of the image of the beast god, it would easily exceed hundreds of people.
‘Is there a ceremony today?’
I was going to buy only the blessed mask and go back, but it seems like it will take quite a while just to enter the sanctuary.
‘Should I go back and come next time?’
While agonizing over the image of a statue that seemed even holy at first glance due to the shadows, Hwanin’s ears caught the conversation between the two.
= Oh wow, there are so many people. Did all these people come to see the spirit master?=
=Everyone is like us.=
= Even though there are many people, there are too many……. Hey, can’t we go back and come back tomorrow? =
= What is he talking about? There are more people today than yesterday. Will there be more tomorrow? And how do you know when the spirit master will go?=
=Ugh.=
‘Spirits are here?’
Seeing that the other people are not agitated despite the conversation between the two, the authenticity seems certain.
Contemplating whether or not to go back, my mind immediately turned to waiting.
Even if you can only see the aura of the spirits here today, it is beneficial.
Besides, what if other soul priests were attaching soul orbs just like you? What if the opposing spiritist reacted to seeing his arm?
Hwanin waited in line in front of the holy water fountain and washed his hands.
Then, after asking a nearby lady for directions to the holy relic room, she entered the corridor, paid an offering (1 silver coin) in the relic room, and made a cloth soaked in holy water and salt water for 30 days. I gave 20 masks (10 silver coins) and left the relic room.
‘He’s not coming out.’
The spirits didn’t show up.
Almost an hour had passed since I entered the temple. It’s evening and it’s time for the sun to set…….
Male voice.
=You are coming out.=
= Now? Are you coming out now?=
=Soul knights are coming to the chapel!=
The murmur that started from the chapel in front quickly spread to the aisle.
Hwanin immediately turned the steps she was about to move outside of her and made her way through the crowd to the railing separating Baerang and the groom.
Although women were blocking the front.
“Excuse me.”
It wasn’t difficult to advance to the railing because women looked back at the man’s voice when I spoke to them slightly closer, and the women who looked inside the hood with a height difference + close distance blushed and made a way to the side.
Medium to medium back, I felt light touches on her arms and shoulders, but it didn’t matter as long as it wasn’t a pickpocket.
After waiting for a while, Hwanin could see two warriors in gray plate armor walking into the lighted chapel.
Anubis-like head of a humanoid dog and a black panther-like ear and tail female warrior first looked around her and then gestured towards her northern facade.
And the Death of Souls appeared with a group of priests.
A plain two-layer robe of the same light gray color as the soul, and a mist cloth worn on the head. And the aura that lit up her surroundings in the dark chapel.
The aura that wrapped around her body like a falling light phenomenon was of a form I had never seen before.
However, rather than the shape of the mysterious aura, Hwanin’s long fleur ears and pale blonde hair, which can be seen through the silt, caught my eye first.
Familiar hair color and ear shape.
‘Elkata?’
It’s a pity that there is no way to check because the slightly thick silt is covering the face due to the distance and the poor manufacturing technology.
What if ELkata is correct?
‘In the letter it was written that he was leaving for Yeongdo with the spirit knights. I don’t know which direction the zero point is, but if the schedule passes here…….’
If you think about the schedule, that faint appearance, and the warriors escorted, there is a high possibility that Elkata will be right.
In the meantime, the spirit priest had finished praying to the statue of the beast god and was slowly turning toward the people.
“…….”
He turns completely this way, but his face is unrecognizable because Misapo is covering it all the way down his nose.
His robes are also thick, making it difficult to see the curves of his body.
It would be nice if he could speak out, but as if praying for a living soul, he holds his hands together and bows his head. In response to that action, the people in the temple also follow the same action.
And 10 minutes later, after spreading something like a light grayish-white wave…….
=Ah, Mr. Soul…… !=
= Please forgive me for my sins, heuk heuk…….=
= Salvation, please mercy…….=
I left the crying people behind and went back to the elevation I came out of.
= Master! I was worried because it was too late.=
As Isilite greeted the illusionist coming out of the temple, she let out a sigh of relief.
“What is there to worry about?”
=But it’s been over an hour since you entered.=
Realizing that her illusion was a bit late, she patted Isilite’s hair without saying anything and told her what she had seen in her temple.
“They say the spirits are staying in the temple. I think I can see it if I wait. She is late to see the soul corpse.”
= Wow, really? So did you see?=
“Okay. The aura is so brilliant that you can tell even from a distance.”
Just in time, people start pouring out of the temple entrance.
It seemed that everyone had an exciting experience inside, as their faces flushed quite a bit. Isilite, who was looking at them, asked her Hwanin to take the blessed mask she held out and hand over the reins of emergency food.
=Do you have any more places to visit today?=
“It’s getting late, so let’s go back today.”
= Yep. Aruru, hold your sister’s hand.=
=Four!=
Issilite, with Aruru in front, followed Hwanin, who had left first, and glanced around the temple.
It’s a soul, not a master. It’s not that I’m not interested, but I also don’t want to go see it on purpose. It’s just that I’m a little curious because it’s the same job as the owner.
She suddenly became curious, so she asked Aruru, who sat quietly in front of her and looked around her.
= Aruru. Does the Spirit Master visit the city often?=
=Yes. At least one person a year would come. But this year, three people came.=
After all, it’s probably because he’s a saint, so he’s often visited by the Spirit Master.
My master said in all directions, ‘I’m buying a soul! Support me!
As soon as Issilite erased the existence of other spirits from her head, as soon as she arrived at the Warden, she went into the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Aruru also approached saying = Is there anything I can help you with? And started preparing dinner.
Kyaaaaa!
Ahahaha!
After changing into casual clothes from the second floor and sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Hwanin listened to Aruru’s laughter coming from the kitchen and was lost in her thoughts.
“…….”
The moment the temple’s spirit priest finished praying, a grayish-white translucent wave gently covered the inside of the temple. What was that
Hwanin, engulfed in the energy, felt a soft and cozy sensation, but nothing else happened. There were no other effects.
‘Did she get out of the way because of her magical nature?’
It seemed that the sense of comfort she felt was her question, and it seemed that she felt it not only herself, but also felt by the people present.
Then, either you were affected by the wave, or everyone present felt the same placebo effect…….
‘It makes no sense.’
How many decimal places would it go down if the probability was that all over a hundred people felt the same placebo effect at the same time?
As Yurpa said, her magical powers have a low repulsive effect against weak phase power. In other words, it is more convincing to say that he felt at least some of the effect of the wave.
‘Besides, it’s a confirmed fact that my soul skills are also interfered with by my magical powers…….’
If so, how do I write it?
‘Is there a skill that can be used for each spirit master and a skill that cannot be used?’
Soul…… Shall we call it a wave? If the wave matches your thoughts, it’s a pretty useful skill. The effect of calming an excited or angry soul would be very useful.
In addition, it will have a weak but positive sedative effect on the living.
Kheung.
He stopped his hand while finishing the theorem of the hypothesis, and the emergency food that was resting his head on the armrest snorted to stroke his head quickly.
If this signal is ignored, it sends a signal by gently biting the hand with its hard and strong beak, and if this signal is also ignored, the bite becomes stronger.
Hwanin laughed lightly and started stroking his hair again with the smooth beak of emergency food.
He is a guy who becomes his bridge without the slightest complaint. There is no such thing as suffering like this.
Anyway.
No matter how much you think about it, that soul master is ELkata. That’s right, but when you think about how you turned away despite seeing yourself on the way back to the elevation…….
‘There must be a situation. If it was her personality, she would have approached me first before I approached her.’
There is a high possibility that the problem was the situation written in the letter that was inconvenient and the situation that was not explained.
I thought about going to the temple at night and asking for a visit, but after organizing her thoughts, that feeling disappeared.
She will have a reason for turning away from her side. And she must have identified herself so if there is a problem or need help she will come first from her side.
I want to learn that mysterious wave like a chimney, but I have no choice but to watch it from a distance.
‘No, let’s take some time to visit the temple again.’
There’s a chance that the priestess there knows something about the wave.
By the time I finished organizing my thoughts, Isilite and Aruru started bringing out all kinds of food.
Quet!
At the sight of all kinds of greasy, sweet and spicy grilled meat lined up, the emergency rations couldn’t hide their excitement and stood up and rustled their tail feathers.
Hwanin smiled at the sight of the emergency rations, unable to take his eyes off the meat dish, and sat down in front of the table.
Emergency rations are also placed near the seat where Hwanin is sitting, and after a while, Isilite, who has brought all the food from the kitchen, sits across from Hwanin.
Aruru also joins Isilite, clearly surprised and delighted by the volume and quality of her food.
She said, “You worked hard making the food. Miss Aruru also had a hard time.”
= No. Rather, it was fun. =
=Me too!=
“Then eat.”
Hwanin started eating with a small smile when he saw the emergency rations waiting for him to pick up a knife and fork, and Aruru gulping down his spittle.
The types of food were slightly more diverse than yesterday. Could it be because of Aruru’s support by her side?
Among them, there was a paella-style yellow rice dish, so when I tried it out of curiosity, the scent of the unfamiliar spices was a bit strong, but it was just as delicious.
Usually, paella has a similar feel to seafood bibimbap, but Isilite’s is not seafood, but teppanyaki fried rice with plenty of chicken and beef gravy. It’s food that has nothing to dislike.
Hwanin thought that he liked it quite a bit because the rice stuck to the iron plate felt like scorched rice, but he smiled.
‘I can’t help it, I’m a Korean.’
When Hwanin smiles, realizing that she is eating paella as her staple food, as well as other meats, vegetables, and soups, Isilite asks her, eyes twinkling.
= Master. Do you like that dish?=
“It’s nice that it’s similar to the stocks of my hometown.”
She said that she felt a bit nostalgic after eating it for the first time in a while, and when she said that she wanted to try various rice dishes, she said that Isilite showed her enthusiasm and asked her to look forward to it.
After the meal was over in such a good atmosphere, I called after seeing Aruru finish cleaning up after the meal.
“Miss Aruru. I would like you to investigate the labyrinth tomorrow.”
=Are you referring to Adun Gotmog’s prison?=
“Yes. You don’t have to purposely gather information near the labyrinth. For a guide like Aruru, there must be a separate source of information. The information gathered there is fine.”
= Yep! I’ll work hard to gather information!=
“Oh, and if you are this tall and this big…… If you see the silver-haired Fleur, please remember its location and let us know.”
At Hwanin’s request, Aruru opened her mouth with a smile on her face. He’s a Fleur, but he’s such a big guy…… Ah?
=Are you talking about the big guy you saw on the first day?=
“Yes.”
= Since he went with Hyogo, if he asks Hyogo, he will quickly find out where he is staying. But if he says he doesn’t want to give the location…… I can’t tell you…….=
“If you refuse, please tell me. I understand that you have been through a lot of annoying and annoying things, and you just need to say that you want to see and talk for a while for a good proposal.”
=…… Yes! I’ll go with Hyogo and tell you!=
“Please.”
=Leave it to me!=
Is it because Aruru got delicious meat dishes and rare fish dishes? Her enthusiasm waved her hand through the sky and disappeared into the late night streets.
“…….”
According to her own expectations, it would be difficult for her to join the party even if she met the giant Fleur.
It is highly likely that she will be alone without a party. Because she hired a guide boy to go into the city alone. There is a possibility that she will join her teammates later, but she couldn’t read any trace of her teammates in the information that the giant Fleur sent.
In other words, a job close to 6th grade goes alone.
As much as she went alone, she must have received all kinds of love calls, and yet, being alone means that there are circumstances or reasons.
‘It was okay in many ways.’
Hwanin organized her thoughts and called Isilite to prepare for the match.
It was time to rest for a while in the living room with Isilite and emergency food after finishing the evening sparring in the backyard garden.
Hwanin picks out the coffee beans he received from Sidur and is savoring the meticulously ground coffee.
Coo?
In one corner of the living room, the emergency rations, which were crouching on the rug Isilite had laid, lifted its head and looked toward the doorway. Issilite asked the emergency rations.
=Why? Who’s here?=
A knocking sound resounding at the same time as the cries of Kuut and emergency rations.
Hwanin secretly reached for the soul stick and hid it under the table.
She has no guests for herself or Isilite on a night like this. If there is, there must be only one.
‘Is it from Elkata?’
First of all, there are two reasons, good and bad, so in preparation for the bad side, I silently spread the lowest order to herself, Isilite, and her emergency rations with a soul orb.
=…… !=
Isilite looked back at her Hwanin with her nervous face, and Hwanin winked at Isilite.
Assuming a battle, Issilite also opened the door, hiding her nervousness.
=Hello.=
A woman wearing an off-white leather top and bottom set stood in front of her door. As soon as the door opened, she slightly bowed her waist.
=Who are you?=
=I brought a letter from Elwidris. Could you please tell me the name of the recipient?=
Hwanin’s eyes deepened.
