Chapter 154 – 150 Saint Farhists
After spending the night in Isilite’s room, Anne got up before dawn, borrowed her kurti, and went to her hotel.
From her looks to her personality and cooking skills. She liked her, and she and Isilite talked about this and that, and after spending the night, she was alone, and she didn’t want to be in that spacious hotel.
Hearing the sound from the first floor, Hwanin, who finished her meditation and went downstairs, could see Anne letting Kurti into the backyard.
After opening the backyard garden door and sending Kurti out, Anne waved her hand at the Hwanin coming down her stairs.
=Good morning.=
“Okay. Did you bring your luggage?”
= Yes. Since I canceled the stay for three days left, only 50% of the prepaid fee was refunded.=
“It is said that this place is a warden, but it won’t be as comfortable as a hotel.”
= What are you talking about? Since we became colleagues, we have to stay in one place. And she has to be here so she can eat Seuli’s delicious dishes, right? =
As Anne giggled and turned to her kitchen, the smell of her food flowed into the living room, causing Hwanin to laugh as well.
=Anyway, now.=
“…… What do you mean?”
Nae-mi did not accept her money bag and asked, and Anne reached out and took her Hwan-in’s hand and put her pocket directly into it.
=Use it for food and other party management expenses. The first profit will come after going to the labyrinth, but I participated halfway, so I have to pay a certain amount.
“Okay. When I do soul work, I get a side income, and it covers my living expenses.”
=Like that case I received yesterday?=
“Okay.”
Thinking of her donation from the quokka-headed man yesterday, Anne guessed that it wasn’t much of her money. Even in reality, her reward was 5 rows of silver coins, which is a lot of money for an ordinary household, but it is only a small amount for Anne.
= Hmm. Do you get a lot of money if you are unhappy?=
“We extort compensation from the vested and privileged class in the downtown area. If you say sincerity, they usually give you a unit of gold. Ordinary people leave it to their own judgment and do not accept anything but food or alcohol from the villagers. Instead, the village chief gives some of the village development fund.”
Anne, contented with the story of how much she gives to those who have a lot and not to those who have little, said as her phantom pushed the pouch out of her way.
= Just get… Not. Give it here I should give it to Seul Lee and ask him to cook me a delicious meal.
Anne snatched her pouch from her phantom’s hand and went straight to the kitchen where the smell of her food flowed. She put her pouch on Isilite’s hand while she was cooking and came out.
= Now, wait a minute. Don’t you? What is this?=
=Use it for food and living expenses. I don’t mind using it for anything related to food.=
=…… You don’t have a lot of money?=
As if she couldn’t take her hands off her cooking, only Isilite’s voice came from the kitchen. But Anne didn’t answer, she said as she sat across from Hwanin’s table.
=And about the future distribution of income. I’ll leave everything to the captain.=
“I don’t know how much profit it will be, but I’m leaving it all to you.”
= Yes. Usually, parties divide all profits after adding 1 person to the number of party members, and manage the party money with 1 person saved separately. But if you listen to the captain’s words, our party is not an ordinary party.
“…….”
= You bought all the weapons and armor for Seul Lee? Clothes and underwear. I can take responsibility like that.=
Hwanin closed the booklet Yu Lepa had given her and calmed her eyes while stroking her chin.
Hwanin, who briefly summarized her thoughts, asked Anne, who was smiling.
“Your weapon must be a magic weapon. Isilite’s and I’s equipment is normal beast leather equipment. If the equipment is replaced on my initiative, your turn will come much later. It will only be a loss to you, but is that okay?”
=If you thought about the loss and gain, you wouldn’t have participated in the captain’s party in the first place.=
That’s right, the story of Anne continues in the ears of Hwanin, who thought to himself.
=Don’t make it complicated. I simply think that the captain has one more mouth to be responsible for. And I have quite a bit of money saved up while working as a sex fighter.=
After hearing the story, Hwanin tapped the table with his index finger and said,
“What I had in mind while accepting you into the party was to distribute half of the total profits from the labyrinth to you. If you think about the share of the current party’s combat power, you’re 50%. But refusing it…… It makes me question why you joined us.”
= That’s right…….=
“Don’t answer that Isilite’s food is delicious.”
Anne, who had been blocked from the source without even having time to say anything, smiled at her sulking eyes and said.
= It’s simple. I’m a little tired of being alone now. And I like Captain and Dew. I am also interested in the career of escorting the Spirit Corps, and more than anything else, I think it would be fun to travel together with the general who is a lump of singularity. This is the biggest reason.=
“Have fun. Fun and interest are important factors in life.”
Hwanin, who thought for a moment, nodded her head.
“I get it. I’ll give you 5% of the profits from exploring the labyrinth as pocket money. I will take the lead in using all other profits, and I will not use them for the purpose of harming innocent people, which is the condition you set here. Do you agree?”
= Yes. Agree =
Hwanin, who nodded her head, saw Isilite come out, wiping her wet hands on her apron, and stood up from her seat holding her black spear.
“After sparring with Isilite for 30 minutes, we will have breakfast. Until then, do your thing.”
=Can I watch from the side?=
“Do.”
Hwanin, who had gone up to the second floor to grab her window, exhaled silently as he watched Issilite and Anne talking outside the backyard through her window.
‘It’s fun.’
Would it be all right if I caught the human scraps in front of Anne and mobilized them for the living experiment of her soul?
It seemed that he was not blindly crying out for justice just because he was a sex fighter. Elkata also had a light atmosphere, but it wasn’t as naive and kind as that.
‘Still, it seems that he has a basic good disposition, and the standards he deserves have been established.’
It seems that this floor life is not short, so I think it will be okay if I get a moderately universal level of persuasion and confirmation before proceeding with work.
As she opens the door to the backyard, she sees Isilite wielding her greatsword and Anne watching from the side.
Isilite was repeating her vertical, horizontal, and oblique cuttings with her exemplary precise posture, and Anne was beside her, watching Isilite’s posture with a serious attitude.
= Her posture is very good. But the captain uses a spear…… Did you learn from the kendo master?=
= There is someone who taught me, but it’s a little difficult to reveal because of his identity. =
= Yes? That’s it. Are you sparring with the captain from now on?=
=Yes.=
=Would you like to play against me after it’s over?=
=Oh, I have to finish preparing the meal in 30 minutes.=
=It’s okay even during breaks, not right now.=
= Then that’s good for me. Please take good care of me =
Anne’s skill, which I learned from the results of yesterday’s match, was above average. She was 1.5 to 2 levels stronger in both her technique and body than Wayford’s 5th grade boxer, Hien = Zod.
At that level, I could easily navigate the labyrinth without light. It won’t be dangerous even if you come across a monster room where monster centipedes from level 1 to level 3 are gathered.
‘If I were to receive a code of conduct with that physical ability…….’
If you get a lower or lower middle class, you might be able to take down Urgur on your own.
Hwanin, who was systematically classifying Anne’s strength, called Isilite, thinking that he should bring up the story of Adun Gotmog’s prison after the morning sparring.
“Let’s start sparring in the morning.”
=Yes!=
After 30 minutes of defense training, Hwan-in, who came inside her house, could hear Anne talking as if she was slightly fed up.
=You really beat me mercilessly.=
“Because there is also the purpose of training the endurance of the body. In fact, I am getting stronger and stronger.”
=What is the awakening type of dew?=
“Strength is the strongest, followed by endurance. His regenerative power will be three to four times that of an ordinary person.”
= Optimized distribution for using a great sword. Then such training is fine.=
Kuut.
= No. I told you not to come into the kitchen because of her feather dust. =
Cue.
Anne nods her head, and as she tries to get her emergency rations into her kitchen, drawn by the smell of her food, she is stopped by Isilite’s hand, and she giggles.
Hwanin also looked at it and asked Anne.
“Did you hear anything about Adun Gotmog’s prison?”
= No? Why?=
“According to the story I heard from the owner of the magic tool shop I went to buy the subspace bag, human debris are haunting the prison.”
= Hung. It’s the festival period, so they’re scum trying to get their share by jumping on the bandwagon.=
The wind of her sword begins to rage at Anne’s expression.
“I’m going to test the curse against those guys.”
=…… You mean to curse with the power of the spirit master?=
“Since I don’t know what other spirit masters call power, I arbitrarily named it Curse, but it’s a kind of blessing that lends power to the soul. Unlike blessings, if you are cursed, your physical abilities will drop. In severe cases, confusion and hallucinations may occur.”
=Is it similar to the curse magician’s weakening?=
“Well. That’s why I’m trying to practice against them in case I can use it when I’m purifying the mixture that doesn’t want to reach Buddhahood, and when people who interfere with sexual misfortune appear.”
When asked if the action would go against your values, Anne’s expression widened as if it had never been like that.
= It doesn’t matter. I will actively help.=
“Surprised. I thought he might not be reluctant to walk into a trap on purpose.”
At Hwanin’s question, Anne turns on the lights in her eyes and growls.
=Because the bastards who commit crimes in the labyrinth have to fill all the holes in their bodies. You don’t dare to thank the earth god’s blessings, but do you do anything in it?
Suddenly, the sound of flesh twisting in Anne’s grip as she gripped the air.
If such crumbs were in front of his eyes, he looked like he would crush a bone pain.
‘Does the Church of the Earth God say that the labyrinth is a blessing from God?’
You might think so. Because the soil around the labyrinth is very fertile. In addition, if you think about the various resources that come out of the labyrinth…….
‘It’s almost strange to think otherwise.’
After that, Isilite said that her meal was ready, and she asked Anne to help carry her food. Hwanin, who finished her meal amid Anne’s rave reviews and the joy of emergency food, was ready to enter her labyrinth. Has initiated
“Isilite. She starts preparing to enter the labyrinth. This schedule is about 3 days, and the essential preparation is 3 days worth of firewood to burn every night.”
=Yes. Then I’ll fill the subspace pocket with firewood. Do you only prepare simple meals such as dry rice?=
“Okay. Since it’s a place where corpses roam, you don’t know how the infection works, so you have to be careful.”
In response to her Hwanin’s answer, Anne, who raised her intimacy level by stroking her head and neck with her emergency rations, yelled out loud.
= What? No! Because I can purify the disease and develop a weak sanctuary! Make me something delicious!=
“Does the sanctuary prevent airborne infections? How long?”
= About 90 minutes after unfolding? After the deployment ends, you need to rest that much before you can use it again.=
“Then there should be no problem with eating…….”
=What should I do?=
Cooking in the labyrinth is not difficult. There’s a heated plate and I’ll bring a bunch of firewood. If the sanctuary prevents airborne infections, there is no problem in the cooking environment.
However…….
“Anne. The subspace bag currently in possession is only about 1㎥. There is not enough space here to fill firewood for camping and to pack the tools and ingredients needed for cooking.”
= Eh. Is that the only pocket?=
“It sounds like an excuse, but it hasn’t been long since the trip started. The large-capacity subspace bag you ordered will arrive in three days, so until then, bear with it.”
=Wait a minute.=
After Anne went upstairs, she heard a rumbling sound from above her. And Anne, who came down a moment later, had a small pouch in her hand.
=Use this until the subspace bag you ordered is completed. 50% weight reduction in a 2m width and height bag. Can I fill this with firewood and put my living tools in that little pocket?=
Hwanin nodded her head slightly at the expression of his determination that he would never give up on a delicious meal, and Isilite gave a wry smile that was almost empty laughter.
Seeing that, Anne pouted her lips and pointed out.
= Dew is not making that kind of expression. How important is eating?
= I agree with you too. But how about doing that even in a place full of corpses…….=
= Because it’s such a place, you should take better care of it. =
Smart smart
At the sound of knocking on the door, Hwanin put on the hood of his leather jacket and grabbed the reins of his emergency rations and said,
“Looks like Miss Aruru is here. Don’t go to the temple.”
= Oh, yes. I will finish what you instructed in the morning.=
“Okay.”
She answered and opened the door, standing in front of Aruru and a boy the same age with a lesser panda head.
=Hello, Hwanin!=
“Good morning, Miss Aruru.”
When she accepts Aruru’s greeting and looks at the cute brown and white lesser panda boy, she nods and bows.
= Hello. I came here with Aru because Ahn was here. This is An’s guide, Hyogo.=
“I heard the story. It’s inside, so go in. Miss Aruru is coming with me.”
= Yep! Where should I take you today?!=
“Let’s go to the southern temple first.”
Before going down to the south, I passed by the northern temple and inspected the exterior and graveyard.
‘There is no soul in the graveyard. I see it occasionally on the street……. Did Elkata arrive first and have sexual misfortune?’
The appearance of the northern temple was no different from that of the southern temple. If the surface is the same, the speed will be similar.
And the arrival at the southern temple is still 1/10 compared to when I visited the day before, probably because it was still morning.
Hwanin, who arrived at the shrine room after passing through the people who sparsely filled the inside of the temple, purchased 12 general-purpose intermediate disease recovery and disease resistance increasing drugs from the priest in the shrine room (-26 silver coins, 2 silver coins as an offering).
= Thank you. I will pray that the protection of the beast god be with you.=
“I am just happy to be able to share the holy relic with the Beast God’s blessing.”
= Thank you for your words……. Come to think of it, brother visited you two days ago too, right?=
“Yes. I bought a consecrated mask to purify some of the immortals who will be punished.”
= Indeed. You were preparing for the labyrinth…….=
She was thinking about how to get rid of the luck to ask about the gray-white waves she had seen two days ago, but a priestess in a white priestly uniform luckily heard the story of personal possession first.
Thinking that it made it easier for her to talk to her, Hwanin asked with a soft expression and voice.
“Maybe this is an outrageous question, but may I ask you a question? If it’s a rude question, consider it an ignorant worldly person and it’s okay to ignore it.”
= Yes…… ?=
The eyes of the beautiful priestess, who combed her dark blond hair without disturbing it, widened slightly. Then, as if she was perplexed, she gently lowered her eyes and looked around cautiously, as if she were looking around her when there was no one around her.
= That…… Please refrain from asking questions that are difficult to answer…….=
Fortunately, permission was granted. Hwanin opened his mouth even more respectfully with a still soft expression.
“When I visited the day before yesterday, I couldn’t sleep well because I was curious about what that mysterious gray-white wave was…… If it’s a difficult question, you don’t have to answer it.”
=…….=
The priestess stared at her ghost’s face for a few seconds without saying a word, then drew her peculiar sign with one hand and she smiled a little.
= Such a question is very ordinary, and a land person will naturally wonder. It’s not a question at all presumptuous, so don’t be embarrassed. Those grey-white waves are what anyone with a soul stance can unfold after effort, and they are called waves of tranquility.
“A wave of tranquility…… Okay. That’s why she felt soft and cozy that day.”
= It is as the brother said. It is a wave of loving-kindness that gives peace and peace of mind to the living and helps the dead to purify and attain Buddhahood with a compassionate heart.
Hwanin smiled softly and gently held her priestess’s hand and bowed her head.
“Thanks to her priest, it feels like the congestion in her chest has gone down. She appreciates it.”
The priestess holding her hand = Ah…….= He let out a small sound of surprise and slightly blushed his cheeks.
She then peeked out towards the entrance hidden by the Hwanin’s body, wrote a short message on a piece of paper smaller than her palm, and put it in her Hwanin’s hand.
= You’d better go back. May her brother’s path be full of His blessings. =
Hwanin, who was half forcibly sent out of the holy relic room, wondered inwardly, then opened the note and put it in his pocket with a small smile on his lips.
What was written on the note was ‘Please visit me at night,’ along with her home address.
“Next, let’s go to the labyrinth entrance.”
=Yes.=
Hwanin, who had Aruru seated in front of him, moved the emergency rations and headed northeast of the city, pondering the words the priestess had said and the time Elkata used the Wave of Tranquility.
If it’s a soul master, after hard work, anyone can use it.
Less than a month has passed since she became a spirit master. Her words are quite vague, so it would be right to assume that everyone can use them.
How to write
El Kata was an ascetic from Yeongdo, but she said that she had never learned the karma or skills of the spirit master. It would be correct to say that after awakening immediately, she became able to write naturally.
“…….”
Why can’t I write myself? Do you need enlightenment? Or do you need a separate knowledge that you do not know?
Before using Wave of Tranquility, Eli Kata clasped his hands together. It would be correct to see it as a step to write a wave, not a formal act to show off.
Then…….
Hwanin put the reins in Aruru’s small hand.
= Eh? Hwanin?=
“It’s okay. Emergency rations are smart, so if you tell them where to go, they will go on their own. Just hold the reins.”
=Yes. Yes.=
Hwanin, who emptied his hands, held his hands as if praying.
And the moment he let go of the warm air in his left hand and the cold air in his right hand.
“…… !”
Whoaaaaa
It was difficult to see because it was under the bright sunlight, but a beautiful gray-white halo of light began to spread far and wide without end.
