Chapter 155 – 151 Saint Farhists
=…… ?!?!=
Aruru was horrified by the grayish-white light wave that suddenly burst from the side of her stomach.
What, what? I didn’t do anything! I wonder if the beast god is angry because I want to have Que too…… ?
“Miss Aruru, are you okay?”
= Yes? Uh, Hwanin-nim, what just happened…… ?=
“I do not know…….”
Perhaps what just happened was because he did something wrong, and while stroking the head of Aruru, who was half crying, her illusion looked around her.
Not only Hwanin, but also emergency food, places and people that can be seen there, as well as horses and Que going up and down the road, and herbivorous reptiles pulling a wagon are buzzing around.
=It felt like something was shining right in front of my eyes. What was it?=
= That, well? I do not know either. Rather…… Something made me feel very comfortable. Don’t you
= What are you? By the way. =
= Huh, what is that?
= That’s right. It wasn’t something to be greedy for, she just did things that could have flowed according to the natural order…… I raised my voice and fought. Sorry =
= No. I’m more sorry.=
Could it be that in broad daylight, perhaps because a wave of tranquility burst out unexpectedly? People didn’t notice the waves, and those who did notice seem to focus on the current sensation rather than where the waves came from.
‘There must have been a reason the lights were not lit inside the temple.’
If it was night or dusk, he would have been caught out that he was a spirit master.
On the other hand, while feeling a little relieved at not being able to draw attention to himself on the emergency rations, Hwanin’s eyes widened as he looked at the people who felt more relaxed and comfortable.
I never thought it would be so simple to use Wave of Tranquility.
Warm and cold are hot and cold. In other words, it means that poles meet and form Taegeuk.
What is taegeuk From a broad perspective, it is the source of the universe that combines Yin and Yang among the ancient ideologies of the East to create all things, and from a narrow perspective, Yin and Yang are harmonized.
The harmony of yin and yang means stability, so it is not strange to interpret it as if the grayish-white waves make you feel calm and stable.
The people who were looking around come to their senses one by one and go their own way. Watching the stopped road move, Hwanin also grabbed the reins and signaled to the emergency rations to start.
And when she crossed the Ren River alone, the hesitant Aruru opened her mouth.
= Over there…… Hwanin-nim just wrote that…… ?=
As she turned around and looked up at herself, her Hwanin only smiled slightly at Aruru who asked her hesitantly.
=…… I’ll keep it a secret that Hwanin-nim is the one who does it!=
“Miss Aruru is nice.”
The quick-witted child was a Hwanin that he did not hate.
Stupidity = Gottmogg’s prison labyrinth was a labyrinth with the history of the capital, Farhist, and the very root of Farhist.
The time when the prison labyrinth appeared was the transitional point when the farhist moved from the village to the city.
Materials and human resources were needed, but at that time, when both were in short supply, the camp for criminals in the Farghist village became labyrinthine on a night of storms and thunderstorms.
As a result, the soil around the village was fertilized, food production increased, and livestock also ate high-quality rice straw and increased their growth.
In addition to this, the items excavated from the labyrinth, probably tailored to the concept of prison, are rusted or moth-eaten weapons and armor that feel like stolen goods, and sometimes bribe-like crushed gold coins and silver coins and jewels in boxes.
And, due to the nature of the prison, there are no iron bars.
As a village, there were only things that were useful in any village, not just the farhists, which had become saturated.
At the time, villagers who were insignificant explored the labyrinth carefully and retrieved rusty weapons and armor, and the collected items were re-polished or melted down to make new weapons and armor for reuse.
The bribe-like goods from the discovered box were all used for the prosperity of the village, and the iron bars that were created in the lower floors of the labyrinth were collected and used for various civil engineering works whenever they were regenerated.
Since the recovery rate of phase stones was high, Farhist continued to thrive, and after the labyrinth appeared, more villagers were awakened, accelerating the labyrinth attack.
During the process of stabilizing the village, the workers who were created thus discovered a number of gold, silver, and iron mines, and these combined became the driving force for the Farghists to rise as saints.
In other words, stupidity = Gottmogg’s prison was the basis for the promotion of the Farhists to Saints.
As if it were a labyrinth that had been with Parghist for hundreds of years, the prison was located inside the outer walls of the capital, Parhist…….
=There is a labyrinth beyond the white wall. That wall is called the Baekwon wall.=
The place Aruru pointed to was a white wall that was 1.5 times taller than the outer wall, and uniquely, a faint light was pouring out.
The entrance is small. It was barely wide enough for four people to pass if standing side by side, and it was only about 3 meters high.
Compared to Wayford’s Labyrinth, it’s at the level of a side door.
‘The atmosphere is sharp.’
Hwanin could feel sharp from the entrance to the outer wall of the labyrinth.
Just like a village where news of war has spread to the border, the tense atmosphere is felt from the hardened expressions of the Farghist soldiers, and the people waiting to enter are also tense under the influence of such soldiers.
Hwanin, who got off the back of the emergency rations and lined up, silently waited for his turn.
And some time later, when it’s her own turn to approach her soldier, the bear-eared female soldier with a lot of annoyance on her face glances at her emergency rations and sees her ghost.
She then asked, making her face expressionless.
=What is the purpose of your visit?=
“The purpose is to purchase a labyrinth map.”
=Please submit your pass.=
At the request of the bland female soldier, Hwanin submitted his pass and identification card.
The female soldier, who even checked her identity card, returned her identity card and pass with her bluntness a little relieved, she said.
= You can pass by. Please be mindful of your actions as making a fuss inside could get you arrested. And children are not allowed to enter. Please tell me to wait at the entrance or send it back.=
“I will.”
Hwanin, who answered briefly, stepped aside from the entrance, and the man with the head of a mouse, who was standing behind Hwanin, stepped forward.
And the female soldier’s face distorted into a grim face when she saw the Inseojok.
= Oh, this crazy bastard again…… 이새끼야! Didn’t you say a permanent ban?! Uh?! But you’re bringing that fucking face up again?! We look so funny!?=
At the shouting of the female soldier, an Inseer man who looks like a rat shakes his hands in fright.
= Whoops! No no! Sister, that’s not it…… !=
= Fuck my sister! Who’s your sister?! Karam! Tie that bastard!!
= Ha…… Hey, if you don’t want to be left behind, follow me when I say nice words.
=Wait a minute, soldiers! Let me say…… Knock off!?=
=Don’t open your shit-smelling mouth! Fall behind!=
Puck! Puck, puck! Fuck!
= Oops! Buy, save…….=
Seeing Aruru tremble at the sight of high voices, irritation, and violence, Hwanin pushed her back and said,
“Miss Aruru. I’ll be doing my business in a little while, so please wait in the plaza over there.”
=Yes, yes!=
As soon as she answered that she was quite afraid of the female soldier, she ran away as if she were running away.
Hwanin, who sent Aruru, was beaten with the shaft of her soldiers’ ax spears, and she ignored the Inseo tribe screaming that she would die and entered the castle wall.
“…….”
The first thing that caught my eye as soon as I entered was another square with a vast area.
The floor of the square, which looks like a combination of 9 soccer fields and 3 horizontally and vertically, is cleanly paved with black gravel bricks, and a white castle wall that seems to reach 45m in height rises high into the sky surrounding the square.
There’s a lot of shade because of that, but it’s not a residential area, so I don’t really care.
The white castle wall was packed with square windows at every 10m height, and it caught Hwanin’s eyes that something similar to a battery was installed on the wall.
‘Is this Mercury’s countermeasure against the labyrinth reflux?’
He must be attacking Hyungjong Lee, who jumped out of the labyrinth through that window. The reason why the walls emit such a soft light seems to be part of the measures to weaken the undead.
Hwanin, who looked around as she moved her steps, realized that it was similar to the Labyrinth Barracks in Wayford, except for the walls and floors.
Weapon shop, armor shop, tool shop, general store, magic tool recharge shop, tavern, inn, public bath.
The buildings of the first things that come to mind after coming out of the labyrinth are close to each other on the side of the castle wall, and merchants gather on one side of the square to bargain for by-products with the people who came out of the labyrinth.
However, it seemed that the barracks were set up inside a 20m-thick wall.
There must be a door that leads into the castle wall near the guardhouse at the entrance. You can also see people walking around through the windows installed at certain heights.
‘There’s nothing to look around.’
Hwanin looked around asheheaded toward the one-story stone wall building that appeared to be a labyrinth building in front of him, narrowing his eyes at the atmosphere of the plaza in front of the labyrinth.
There were many people. If you add all the merchants and people coming and going, it’s a level that I think will be 300 people. But the noise they make is more like a buzz of bad news than a riot on the lively side.
It must be because the soldiers who became sensitive about the labyrinth growing were sharp.
There must be a reason why the danger of the labyrinth has increased because human debris has also begun to appear.
However, I see a lot of people younger than I thought. In Korea, it’s about 3rd or 1st in high school. Maybe it’s because it’s a labyrinth inside the city, so it’s easy to access.
Hwanin suddenly felt that some people were stepping on his eyes.
The weapons and armor were ordinary adventurers, explorers, or mercenaries, but in Hwanin’s eyes, the murderer looked like a normal person.
The same kind recognizes the same kind, and it is to read the inhuman aspect in their atmosphere.
‘Are you looking for prey? The way he looks at people is blatant.’
Even with that gaze, you can’t notice the strangeness. I thought that was inhuman in its own way, but as usual, it was a hwanin who didn’t let his thoughts out of his mouth.
= Ugh. Hello? Do you have a moment?=
Hwanin, who was walking into a labyrinth that looked like a stone warehouse building, saw a man with dark brown hair and a raccoon head approaching and talking to him.
‘This guy is involved in something illegal too.’
I read the atmosphere of a criminal who skillfully moves between legal and illegal, but Hwanin did not express himself and answered normally.
“What happened?”
= Oh, it’s nothing. Apparently, you might be interested in the labyrinth map. Our party is about to leave the labyrinth, and it seems like we need to dispose of the map we have. Do you not need the labyrinth map? If you buy it, I will sell the entire map of the Prison Labyrinth for 19 silver coins, a little more than half of that for 10 silver coins.=
“Thank you for the offer, but I will decline. There is a teaching that you should only use labyrinth maps sold by soldiers.”
= Ah…… That’s right. You have received great instruction. Then I hope you win.=
Hwanin did not say that he had been taught, but the raccoon-headed man interpreted it on his own and walked away.
With common sense, you can’t trust the maps sold by people like scalpers.
I glanced at the raccoon man walking away, and he was approaching and talking to a party of young, unknowing-looking people.
A gray dog-eared woman accepting the map with a big smile at what she heard.
She seems to be the leader of a party of three, and despite being a great combination of a warrior, a shooter, and a sex magician, I thought Hwanin wouldn’t live very long.
To be so naive It would be easy for him to get stabbed in the back and die in a labyrinth or field.
“…….”
Hwanin, who arrived at the entrance of the labyrinth thinking it was none of my business, bought 19 maps of all floors of Gottmogg’s prison for 19 silver coins.
‘It’s just a map. So 19 silver coins?’
The map of the whole floor of the labyrinth where light did not reach was a 5 row silver coin. The price difference is more than twice, but the booklet also depicts the heterogeneous species and briefly describes its characteristics.
It must have been expensive because it contained information.
Kww.
Kick kick kick…….
Hwanin, who was examining the map at a reasonable distance from the entrance, saw a group of parties giggling past him.
= What should I do? Look at the map. You must be interested in the labyrinth.=
=You should be more interested in Awakening than Labyrinth.=
= Don’t be like that. It’s not like he didn’t wake up because he didn’t want to.
=Kick-kick-kick.=
The two men and the two women, who looked like chain armor with iron plates, sneered and ridiculed them, but Hwanin turned around wondering where the rats were barking.
‘I’ll just buy coffee and go back right away.’
As soon as Aruru heard Hwanin’s question if he didn’t know about the coffee bean shop, he ran into a nearby shop, and she came out 10 minutes later and guided Hwanin to a nearby shopping street.
And Hwanin could see three types of coffee beans at a place with a simple signboard that said it was a grocery retail store.
The problem is the price.
There were three types of coffee beans, each 100 grams costing one silver coin.
Before he traveled to this world, the most expensive coffee on earth was a bean that won the best of Panama coffee competition, costing about $800 per 500g, or 900,000 won in Korean currency.
However, here, the mediocre variety of beans costs 1 million won for 100g.
Of course, there are various factors to consider as the price does not completely equalize, but even so, the price is not cheap.
“…….”
The troubled Hwanin slightly shook his head and apologized to the store owner.
“I will come back later.”
=We look forward to your return visit.=
Before accepting Anne to the party, Hwanin would have bought about 1 kg of coffee without hesitation.
But now I can’t.
The party was formally formed by recruiting Anne, and she could not use it privately, as she herself used it as a fund for her party’s activities without all her income being distributed due to Anne’s concession.
Food expenses, equipment maintenance, and tool purchases were included in the party activities, so it didn’t matter, but coffee was a favorite item.
‘Since there are three of us, it would be better to distribute 5% of each person’s income so that it can be used for personal expenses.’
Thinking so, Hwan-in, who returned to the warden’s office, was able to face Anne’s puzzled yet slightly moved expression when he learned about her everything.
= The captain is so diligent that it is frustrating. I wouldn’t say anything even if I bought that much.=
“It can’t be. If you start making exceptions in areas that have not been discussed or discussed, the rules will be broken in an instant.”
=No, but if the captain…… I’m so sorry I didn’t pay the money I had. The captain put all his property into the common fund.=
“The leader and the members in charge of the party cannot be the same.”
=Uh~.=
Covering his face with his thick hands, his little head is completely hidden from view.
After a moment of agony, Anne let out a deep sigh and put her hand in the pocket of her belt and put down her small box.
It seems pretty heavy to make a snapping sound.
“What is this.”
= It’s money. There are about 30 gold coins inside.=
“…….”
=Don’t look at me like that. I have only one suggestion. This is not to be used for equipment preparation or labyrinth exploration, but for other purposes. I like to eat and I like to drink. If I start buying something of a satisfactory quality, it will be a matter of seconds for the money to run out in gold coins, so let’s use this.=
And…… Anne wiggled her fingers.
Anne, who showed the bear’s shyness, said with embarrassment in her voice.
= I was moved by the captain’s heart. I don’t know when to leave the party, but I think I’m like an old colleague…….=
“Well.”
=If you are the captain, I think you can give me all of my money. But you still won’t accept it?=
“Because each member’s property is theirs.”
= Yes. So, think of this as my heart and add it to the fund.”
“…… If you say that, I will accept it.”
Hmm, smiling, Anne patted her Hwanin on the shoulder and visited her coffee shop again. Among them, she bought two bags of coffee beans with a scent similar to Brazil Santos No.
=Thank you for purchasing. The filter paper is a service=
After purchasing about 1kg of coffee beans in total, I received 50 sheets of filter paper as a service. When she left the store, Anne asked, who was slightly frowning at the aroma of coffee inside her store.
=Do you like coffee?=
“Likes.”
=That bitter and sour black liquid with water is delicious, but I don’t know.=
“Coffee has many flavors. Sweetness, sourness like the acidity of fruit, and pungent sourness, bitterness, and saltiness that pierce your tongue like vinegar. Depending on which beans are mixed and how they are mixed, certain flavors can be strong or light. The coffee you drank must have been a bitter, sour, light-bodied coffee according to someone else’s taste.”
= Ugh. Isn’t coffee just sour and bitter?
Anne, who thought it was the first time she had ever seen Hwanin speak so long, smiled at Hwanin’s continued words.
“I think I know your taste. When I get back, I’ll make you a cup of coffee that you might like.”
= Hey. What to expect. =
And Anne, who was served coffee by Hwanin herself, like a lie, likes coffee…… There was no such thing as
=Wow, is this edible? I don’t drink it on purpose.=
It was Anne’s impression of sipping caffe latte, which is made with milk and sugar to increase sweetness and body and reduce sourness and bitterness.
At least Isilite seems to have come to like espresso lightly diluted with water, so she was able to relieve the burden of enjoying expensive favorite foods by herself.
‘This is the taste of coffee that the owner likes…….’
The truth was different though.
