Chapter 149 – 145 Saint Farhists
Elwidris, the castle of Elkata.
Hwanin, wearing a soul stick around his waist, got up from his seat and looked at the woman standing in front of the door.
Her hair, neatly braided back, is grayish-white, but it is slightly brown at the roots, perhaps because it has been bleached.
Her clothes are also off-white. Her hair is also off-white.
Grey-white is a hue that symbolizes the color of the soul.
After figuring out what her color meant, Hwanin sent her eyes to Isilite, telling her to step aside, and approached her.
“I am Hwanin.”
=This is Lorna Aurora, who is accompanying Elwidris.=
Taking out a letter that looked like an invitation from her waist belt pouch with her brief self-introduction, Lorna held it out with both her hands to her ghost.
“…….”
After receiving her letter, Hwanin, who drew attention to her well-groomed appearance and long ears like El Kata, returns to the table in the living room and sits down.
She said, ‘I took care of myself on the way, but she couldn’t sense anything suspicious. If she didn’t know that even sensitive emergency food would follow her…….’
It must be a skill related to tracking. Is it a power related to psychic powers? But no aura.
Noticing that she had no intention of going back, Hwanin told Lorna.
“Come in and wait. Isilite, two cups of tea, please.”
=Yes, Master.=
Isilite was a little concerned about who El Widris was and who that was, but she went into her kitchen, repeating that her duty was to serve her master.
In the meantime, Hwanin, who had opened the letter, opened the letter after seeing a small shooting star popping up and disappearing like last time.
I naturally catch something that falls between the letters.
‘…… Flower?’
Six yellow petals similar to the color of Elkata’s hair.
Hwanin, who looked at the wild flowers resembling a sseumbago flower for a while, turned his attention to the letter paper.
[To my dear.]
“…….”
[My surprise at seeing you there was indescribable.
Could this coincidence of overlapping schedules with you be a small miracle arranged by him?
Her body is close, but her heart feels far away, and she is saddened by this situation.
Wish you good luck on your journey.
I hope you achieve what you mean by being healthy.
I fervently pray in her name.]
What is the reason why the small dot at the end of a short sentence feels like a tear stain on Elkata?
Hwanin closed the letter, feeling his heart throb a little, and put what was troubling him in his mouth.
“Why? She has become her soul sage, which she has longed for, but she doesn’t look very happy looking at her letters.”
=The happiness of the many is built on the sacrifice of the few.=
“Are you saying that the majority does not sacrifice for the happiness of the few?”
=…….=
Rona felt as though her heart was stabbed by Hwanin’s question, and she was speechless.
“Why is Miss El Widris doing a gravekeeper in a small town in Radseah, why is she on the move receiving everyone’s training after awakening as her spirit master, why does she not seem happy even though she must have achieved her biggest wish…… I don’t quite understand.”
=Lwidris is…… She’s on her way to the places she needs to go for the things she needs to do. That’s what he wanted and what he chose.=
What the heck is this man Rona looked at Hwanin with slightly shaky eyes and lowered her gaze.
“Is it right to go to Yeongdo?”
=No doubt.=
“Then you are not a spirit knight.”
=… That…….=
“Are you her little collaborator?”
=…… There…….=
“Her status is beyond my imagination. Is heading to Yeongdo an effort to avoid being dragged back to your home?”
=…… !=
“The Elwidris family wants you…….”
= Hwanin. Please stop it. We can’t guarantee your safety if you dig any deeper.=
Rona felt her heart sink down every time Hwanin opened her mouth, but she hurriedly cut off his words and ate them.
Hwanin’s eyes deepened as he revealed his embarrassment, bewilderment, and urgency, like a person stabbed at a vital point he wanted to hide.
Lorna said, swallowing her saliva nervously.
=Originally, I didn’t want to deliver this letter either.=
“…….”
=You seem to be wiser than I think and read the current trend deeply, so you can read what I want to say. Please. At the end of this letter, please distance yourself from him. Please don’t come close. Him…… Please don’t shake.=
Hwanin, who was staring at Lorna with her hardened face, looked down at her letter, and then called Isilitte, who was standing at the entrance of her kitchen, unable to bring her tea or go back.
“Bring me the one you bought during the day.”
=Yes.=
Isilite, who dropped her car in front of Hwanin and Lorna, quickly went up to the second floor and came down with one of her blessed masks.
With a dagger, Hwanin separated the skillfully sewn earring part and the patched fabric for durability, and then wrote a single word on the softest and densest fabric with a magic tool pen.
[I will remember.]
Then she politely approaches the emergency rations sitting on the rug and strokes her head.
“I need one of your feathers.”
Quet? Coo.
She slipped her hand into the bountiful breast feathers of her emergency rations, which nodded as if she had taken it, and ran a comb through it until one of the missing feathers caught on her fingers.
Moderately cute soft green feathers. Tie a cloth to the flagpole and hand it to Lorna.
“Please tell her of her.”
=…….=
Lorna’s expression darkens as she accepts her green feather.
A face that clearly shows what you’re thinking.
Hwanin realized why Rona Aurora was assigned to Elkata. And along with the intentions of someone unknown to the family behind Elkata.
Normally, I would have removed her hand thinking to myself, ‘It’s a nuisance.’ But the throbbing feeling in her heart as she read the letter suppressed the annoyance.
And, arousing her near-living presence, she quietly said Rona’s full name, whose expression was still gloomy.
“Lorna Aurora.”
=…… ?!=
Suck?! He stares at the surprised Fleur woman with bleak eyes and continues her words.
“Don’t think nonsense, be sure to deliver her message to El Cata El Widris. If it doesn’t come…….”
Staring quietly into Lorna’s swaying eyes, she whispers while gently brushing her flowing bangs.
“Even if you or your loved ones die, you will never find peace and rest.”
=…… !=
Lorna Aurora, who had been frozen for a while at the cool smile floating on her phantom’s lips, nodded her head with difficulty only after her tea cooled down.
Until then, Hwan-in, who had been quietly gazing at Ro-na and Ro-ra, stroked her head with a gesture of kindness, but not a single gram of her warmth.
“Since you seem to be smart enough, you must have realized my true identity.”
=…….=
“If it is possible, I would like it to be unconcerned about me. Oh, this is a request, not an order.”
= Oh, I see…….=
Although her head was being patted, Lorna felt as though her ax had been stabbed through her head. Her shoulders and her back trembled by themselves.
“Good. Then go back to her and tell her in her silence and in her secret.”
Receiving the feather of her little cloth-bound emergency ration in her quivering hand, Lorna Aurora carefully wrapped it in her handkerchief and put it in her belt pouch. She then bowed to her phantom and walked out of her house with her heavy steps.
Hwanin, who had been staring at the closed door with cold eyes for a while, smiled faintly as he looked at Isilite and her emergency rations.
“Isilite. A cup of coffee, please.”
=Ah, four!=
Hwanin looked away from Isilite, who rushed to her kitchen, and the emergency rations that followed, and smiled while looking at the letter from Iel Kata and her yellow wildflowers on the table.
It’s possessive.
Reason judges that it is not a desire to be exerted on a person, but something to know.
Elcata’s letter expressing her yearning for him and wishing him comfort set fire to his possessive desire. Hwanin intends to follow that desire until the end.
‘There are more and more reasons to develop strength.’
An ordinary person would have stormed into the temple burning with a sense of justice, saying ‘I will protect my woman!’, Or he would have become a prince on a white horse who rushed in and rescued Elkata from danger by saying ‘I’m buying a soul too!’.
He was a Hwanin who recognized that he was too cold for that.
Anyway, Elkata will go to Yeongdo and spend some time learning the skills that a soul master needs to know and learning the posture of a seeker.
After that, he will either go back to his hometown and be used or go on a pilgrimage on his own. Until then, you just have to build up your strength and build a foundation.
And he should own her rightfully.
= Master? Here’s the coffee. This time, I roasted the beans closely to create a strong flavor.
“Well…… Nice.”
Hehe.=
Halfway between savory aroma and tanna. Satisfied with the aroma of the exquisite roasting, I fall into my thoughts again.
‘Prepare the foundation.’
Hwanin took out the token Ctachinan had given him and the ruby brooch given as a gift by Sidur and put them down on the table.
After securing practical power, that is, if you collect about 500 soul orbs…… Wouldn’t it be possible to catch a heterogeneous species that is about 5th grade only with soul skills.
‘Since I’ve undergone two ability expansions, I’m currently a level 3 soul master if I’m considered level 1 when I wake up.’
When it reaches 500, it will experience at least two or three more expansions of its abilities. If you go through three stages of growth, you will become a 6th-class spirit warrior, so I think your strength will be sufficient.
From then on…….
“…….”
Hwanin enjoyed the strong aroma of coffee and began to make simple plans for her future.
The next day, she stayed focused on Isilite’s training, waiting for Aruru to bring her information.
For the first hour, as usual, Hwanin attacked and Isilite blocked or avoided training, but after an hour of training, during a 10-minute break, Hwanin suggested a new training course.
“Now that you’re used to getting hit, blocking, and dodging, let’s learn how to attack.”
=Really?!=
She was told during breakfast that she would be working hard on her training until Aruru came, but she could not even train for offensive skills…… !
Isilite was very excited, but put a hand on her chest to calm her excitement. She was excited and her master would be disappointed if she made a clumsy or stupid attack.
“I will write the code and deal with it on my own, so don’t worry and do your best.”
=Four!=
For a very brief moment, Isilite wondered what she would do if her master was seriously injured by her own power.
Puck!
= Kyaauk.=
The moment she was strongly stamped on the stomach in the first joint, she reflected, ‘Oh, the cat was worried about the tiger.’
At first, she did a diagonal cut with the intention of lightly cutting her liver, but I never thought she would hit the blade in the middle to change direction and stab a vital point.
“If you make a feeble attack like just now, there will be a thrilling counterattack, so remember that.”
= Cool. Yep!=
Isilite, who coughed lightly, poured all of the attack methods she learned from Resim and emergency food and sparring into Hwanin.
Various slashes, as well as rushing in, close-handed slashing, sword-face slashing, sweeping, full control of the inertia of the sword with force, and rapid 2 consecutive slashes.
She was unafraid of being hit and attacked with her whole body. As a result, her left hook hit her chin, causing Issilite a mild concussion and knocking her face down on the grass.
And she had an epiphany.
‘Ugh. Master is good at martial arts, not just spearmanship and defense.’
When I hit her on the chin, I momentarily lost consciousness for about 1 second, but after 1 second, the world just shook and I couldn’t stand up.
“Don’t think that your opponent won’t be able to perform Kwon Jujutsu just because he has a weapon. Think that you don’t know when and where a fist or a kick might come from.”
=Yes, yes.=
“Take a 10-minute break and do it.”
=Sue, thank you for your hard work.=
Isilite, who struggled to get up, sat down on her lawn again and grunted, grabbing her hair or banging her forehead to calm her still shaking bones.
And Isilite, whose vision was barely stable, she let out a small sigh before expressing her gratitude to Hwan-in, who was sitting in the shade of a tree.
It was because, no matter how much she thought about it, she thought that her master was gaining nothing from teaching her.
= Master. I don’t think I’ve told you before…… Thank you so much for spending money and teaching martial arts for something like me.=
“Dealing with you is helping me keep my senses sharp. Besides that, she is getting a lot of help with meals and care. Think of it as a reward for that.”
Without Isilite, he would have chewed raw fruits and veggies for minimal nutritional supplementation and only ate beef jerky. Washing and organizing equipment would have been a hassle.
= Ehehe…….=
Hearing her reply that she was of help to her master, Isilite felt her subtly rumbling stomach sink at once.
The power also sucks. As it is now, she seems to be able to hold out even if she sparred in defensive arts for 3 hours.
=…….=
That’s it…… The owner seems to be in a good mood today. Shall I ask you a question? But what if you think it’s too presumptuous to ask?
She glanced at her master, who was sitting in a slightly crossed position with her legs stretched out on a circular chair.
‘How cool he looks sitting down.’
The waist is erected at a right angle and the arms are slightly crossed. You are closing your eyes, but if you open them and look at me, how…….
Startle. Recovering her consciousness, Isilite pinched her thighs, awakening her reason with her pain.
=Me, Master.=
“Well.”
At the sign that she is listening, Isilite plucks up her courage and asks.
= Yesterday, the person named Elkata…….=
“It was a cemetery keeper I met in Wayford. When you were at the Technical Institute, you met through sexual misfortune, and after that, you awakened as a spirit master.”
= Ah. Is that he?=
“Did you know?”
=Yes. The technical institute also received great attention. One of the Grave Keepers has awakened as a Soul Death.=
“So, do you care who Elkata is?”
Do you care? Well…….
=I don’t think I care much.=
Isilite, too, now has some sense of the kind of person her master is.
He takes good care of his people and doesn’t care too much about financial gain, but if he harms himself more than a certain level and behaves rudely, he responds like a knife.
And he doesn’t know love.
The spirit priest named Elkata probably gave most of his heart to the master, but the master would have just accepted it.
So, even if Elkata Spirit Master joins right away…….
‘Master, the way you treat him will be the same as the way you treat me.’
When I realized that, I didn’t really care.
What is a soul sign? The master is also a spirit master. Rather, I am better because I serve my master closer.
Likewise, I’m not worried about Lady Baekryogang, who seems to have fallen in love with her master.
How many beggars are there among the barons? You won’t have anything to do with that girl in the future, right? Even if we get involved, I will look better to my master than Lady Baekryeogang.
Yes. I’m the first mate
‘It would be nice if I could be your first one too.’
All the women the master has embraced so far are disposable. So I don’t care However, among his colleagues, he only wants to become the master’s first woman.
“I took a break, so let’s start again. This time it is defense training.”
=Four!=
So, for one hour, I tried to block and avoid Hwanin’s attack somehow, and for the next hour, I tried to break through the Hwanin’s defense somehow, and I was repeating the training.
Aruru came.
