Chapter 222 – 216 Saint Farhists
After the settlement of the labyrinth exploration was completed, everyone held a teacup in one hand and started talking in a relaxed atmosphere.
=Really? Has my aura gotten a bit thicker?=
= Yes. Now it’s a mature 4th level. If you add about two rounds of exploration this time, you’ll be level 5 too?=
= I’m a little confused. Raising the rank is so easy…….=
=It’s because I caught a lot of heterogeneous species of the same or higher grade than you.=
= I guess so. Then now I need to verify the series.=
= Huh? What is it, you still haven’t taken the exam?=
= It’s not yet, it’s been a while. I got it when I was in 2nd grade and haven’t gotten it since.=
= Huh. What have you been doing? It doesn’t take long to verify.=
Anne’s question made Issilite slightly troubled. She lowers her gaze to the teacup and sips, sipping tea and evading.
= Well, I was busy with this and that, and there was nothing uncomfortable about not receiving it?=
= Huh? Oh right Lady Seul Lee said she was a thief before she met him, right? If she was a thief, she wouldn’t be able to stop by the village, so it might have been difficult to get. =
Isilite’s shoulders twitched slightly.
= Ahang. …… Well? Then how did you meet Doryeong?=
= That, that’s…….=
In the end, the subject she wanted to avoid came out and Isilite’s pupils began to shake.
Glancingly, what about Yurpa who saw her eyes on Hwanin sitting across from her and tilting her teacup? She asks while doing.
= Could it be that she robbed her pockets and robbed hers as well? =
=…….=
Isilite’s white face turned bright red like a tomato at Yurpa’s guess that had stabbed the dark history straight. And next to her, Hwanin giggles with a small smile.
Seeing this, Anne burst into laughter.
=Fhahahaha! Did the real thief get her pockets robbed and get robbed again?! Awesome~!=
=…… ! No! It’s not the master, but there was a merchant who followed the master at the time, and that merchant…… !=
Isilite desperately tried to cover up the dark history by making excuses, but the moment she said the story, the game was over.
Anne didn’t listen to Isilite’s excuses and was distracted by giggling, and Yurpa held back her laughter to the point that her face blushed = Well, that could be the case. She says yes and she pats Isilite on the shoulder.
In the end, Isilite ran away to her kitchen, covering her face with her hands, and even Yurpa burst into laughter, and the two women couldn’t hold back their laughter for a long time.
I can’t believe that Master’s desired dew was robbed while trying to rob the Master!
Anne, barely holding back her laughter, wiped her tears with her handkerchief.
= It’s a really great relationship. The Isilite who tried to rob her swordsman, or the swordsman who accompanied Ishilite like that…… Kick Kick Kick.=
=But isn’t that proof that the lady dew thinks of her is amazing? Now when she sees the lady, who would think she is a thief or a maid? =
= That’s the way… This is a cliché that often appears in famous heroic or adventure stories. A thief or a villain who is enlightened by the greatness and splendor of the main character and becomes a more passionate follower or colleague than anyone else. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.=
=…….=
The corners of the two girls’ lips begin to twitch again.
If you don’t change the subject, the atmosphere seems like this story will continue to come out. Isilite did not want her table to be stale the next day because she sighed, so her Hwanin brought up the topic at the right time.
“By the way, I have a question.”
= Huh? What?=
“Conversation.”
Conversation? At the unexpected word, Yurpa and Anne looked at each other.
“I am now speaking in my native language. Anne, you are playing Fleur, and Yurpa is playing with Luke. But isn’t it strange that the conversation goes through?”
When I said I didn’t understand why this was happening, Anne put her arms on the table and tilted her upper body slightly, she replied.
=That’s because the gods blessed it. Because war broke out and slaughter occurred between tribes because they could not communicate because they spoke different languages, God gave them the authority to tell them not to do that and get along well.=
I want to hear a more fundamental and essential reason, not such a religious interpretation. No, it seems that God really exists in this world, so that might be the orthodoxy.
Hwanin thought it was because of Anne’s answer, but as soon as he saw Yurpa making a slightly awkward expression, he realized that it wasn’t so.
It’s not the soft reason that the gods were merciful and blessed everyone to get along, but that there was a different, realistic reason.
Hwanin is looking at Yu Lepa, so Anne looks back at Yu Le Pa and tilts her head.
=Why? Does Yuri unnie think this is not the reason?=
= Uh, huh? No, I think so too.=
=Looking at your expression, it doesn’t look like it at all, does it? Uh-huh, she doesn’t say anything, and my hand will scold the bad sister who tries to get over it.
Yu Lepa hides next to her Hwanin, abhorred by Anne’s behavior as she wiggles her fingers while smiling like a middle-aged man with the opposite hair color.
=Okay, okay! I’ll tell you, stop that!=
Then, she let out a sigh and looked at Hwanin and Anne alternately. And after struggling for a while, she carefully brought up the story to Anne.
= First of all, please know that this is a story I have heard. It’s not clear whether it’s true or not, and it’s a story that everyone who has accumulated some insight and knowledge among wizards knows.=
=…… What are you going to sprinkle rice cakes on first?=
= It’s because this is a story that is contrary to the claim of the Four Great Gods……. And Lady Anne is a holy fighter of the land god.=
“It’s something I don’t like to talk about religion in front of religious people.”
At Hwanin’s assist, Yurupa nodded eagerly.
= It’s okay. The earth god does not exist and this world is an illusion made of lies. …. What is it, is it really that level?=
= Could it be that?!=
After sighing in agony, Yu Lepa looked back at Hwanin and said, ‘I’ll only trust you.’ Then he opened his mouth.
And while the story that flowed out was far more persuasive to Hwanin than an ambiguous story like ‘God’s blessing’, Anne’s expression hardened as if it was a story that was a little difficult to accept.
= There must have been a madman in the past. He was a monster who believed in the existence of God, but claimed that God did not spare people as he was known.
The monster made claims that would not be accepted by people at the time, and would be disgusting to people of today.
The claim that Nionebreth is the breeding ground of the gods and that people are only food – the souls – of the gods.
Confronted with criticism, criticism, and opposition from countless people, the monster began to gather evidence to support his claim, but, as usual, the act of gathering evidence gradually became harsher and more brutal.
=The most widely known fact, that the reason we can communicate with everyone in the world is not the blessings of the gods, but our natural ability.
“You suspected that there was a visceral organ responsible for the translation phenomenon. And I actually had those organs in my body.”
Anne, who had been listening to the story with a bewildered expression, looked back at her Hwan-in and said, “What?” She made a noise.
= Right. The monster was able to buy hundreds of slaves and cut open his stomach and his chest. And the internal organs were removed and tested one by one.=
=…….=
Anne’s expression darkened considerably.
=The experiment of removing the intestines and pouring potions to save them was repeated several times. In the meantime, some people died instantly or shortly after having their vital organs removed. Then she finally found it. The organ that the monster named the ‘magic release organ’.=
“He’s someone who could be called a monster.”
= Yes. Anyway, the person who was eliminated lived without any inconvenience. There was a sense of incongruity, but there was no change in life. There was no problem with communication.=
= Then isn’t the monster’s hypothesis wrong? No wonder he couldn’t understand the story when the organ was removed…….=
= Right. It is natural for normal people to think so.=
Hwanin was not an ordinary person, but thought differently. First of all, I have my own experience.
“The institution is like a universal interpreter. Like interpreting what you hear and translating what you say.”
= Right. If 1 in 10 people don’t have that organ, there’s no change to the group. But if it increases to 2 or 3…….=
“People who don’t have it won’t be able to communicate with each other if they speak different languages.”
= Uh…….=
Hwanin calmly replies to Anne, who looks back at her, asking how she knows that.
“Because I am from another world. In the world I live in, people cannot communicate in different languages. There is a job called an interpreter.”
= Since Doryeong is a person from another world, it is possible that he did not receive the blessing of our god……. No, no.=
Anne stopped talking and shook her head. From what Yurpa said and Hwanin’s answer, he guessed what would happen next.
= Yes……. The lunatic monster dissected more people and removed their organs. People whose organs were removed couldn’t talk to each other…… It was written The monster announced it, and the cult announced that the monster had tarnished the god’s glorious, great, and splendid achievements, and was hunted down.
=…….=
The expression of Anne, who had shut her mouth, was as sullen as she had never seen before. That’s why Yu Lepa didn’t say anything about her anymore and just glanced at her Hwanin, and Hwanin…….
“Anne, is your faith shaken by something like this?”
He intervened, judging that if left as it is, awkwardness would arise between Yurpa and Anne.
She blamed her own questions, so her probation is something she herself has to do.
Anne shouted in a fit of rage at the question of her phantom.
= No! Even though I am a freedom fighter, my faith in the Earth God is stronger than anyone else!=
“That’s it.”
=…… Huh?=
“The truth sometimes hides behind bitter reality. And tempts those who know the truth into corruption. The temptation to fall is greater for those who have strong faith.”
Hwanin’s liquidation flow prompts Anne to start biting her eyes.
“I have a question, is it written in the Bible that God directly sprinkled power and bestowed blessings?”
= Oh no? The sage said that this was a blessing from God, no doubt…….=
“Then it’s obvious. It is highly likely that someone full of her faith would have commented on her own personal opinion, not her truth, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, transformed as if it were an affair and hardened into the truth.”
Yurpa narrowed her eyes at the Hwanin’s interpretation and asked cautiously.
= He is…… Do you have any knowledge of theology?=
Hwanin covered it up with a small smile.
Religion-related remarks and subjective opinions always cause controversy. Since he had no intention of sharing such a topic with her girlfriend, Hwan-in dispels Anne’s confusion with a plausible remark.
“Even in the world I lived in, God exists and there are scriptures containing the words of God. And as people get older, their stubbornness and prejudice become stronger, and usually…… You will be foolish.”
An ambiguous story with multiple meanings. Anne and Yurpa shook their heads with serious faces at the story, which could have dozens of meanings depending on interpretation.
“Anne, do you serve the earth god, or do you serve the church that believes in the earth god?”
=Of course I serve the earth god.=
“That’s the end of the story. You are a freedom fighter who serves the earth god, and your faith is upright and firm. Is there room for other interpretations?”
= Uh…… Isn’t it? Yes, no.=
“There is no guarantee that what Yurpa said in the first place is the truth. Anne, I think you know why I treat secrets and yasas as back stories.”
=…….=
Anne gave a small nod of her head, put her hands on her lap, and took a long breath.
= I… I’ll go and see what Dew is doing. =
Yu Lepa, who was looking at Anne as she walked away with a thoughtful look on her face, brushed her chest and sighed.
= Phew…… Thank you darling She would be in big trouble if it wasn’t for her. =
“If Anne had her character, even at her worst, she wouldn’t have attacked her as a heretic. Even so, you have to be careful. Because she is a faithful religious person too.”
= Yes. I’ll keep in mind.=
“I’m sorry too. If I had known it was such a sensitive subject, I would have asked it when we were together.”
= No~. Aren’t you in a position where you don’t know that?=
“Anyway, if you have to talk about something sensitive like this in the future, give me a sign. I will arrange the place properly.”
= Yes. I will =
