Chapter 230 – 224 the Road to Owling
Anne, who was staring blankly at Hwanin asking why, clapped her hands.
= Ah~ It is only natural that Doryeong does not know. The most populous tribe in Nionebreth is the Lukrang tribe. There are more Lukerang tribes even if all three races, Fleur, Proud, and Flavius are combined?=
It is said that the average lifespan of such a Lukrang is about 100 years old.
=In addition, the average life span of other races is given as a percentage. Each race has a different lifespan and growth period, so it is not correct to determine the approximate top and bottom of society based on age.=
“…… So Anne is in her early 20s and Isilite is in her late teens? Yurpa is in her 30s.”
=Yes.=
So it wouldn’t fit any better.
Even if a 30-year-old man with a 100-year-old lifespan meets a 90-year-old man with a 300-year-old life span and becomes friends with him, when the 100-year-old man turns 40, the 300-year-old man will still be in his 30s.
= It’s just an indicator. There are few people who share honorifics and casual words depending on the age of the other person. Unless you’re a child, everyone who speaks honorifics uses honorifics and everyone who speaks rudely uses rude language.=
Other than that, it is said that they share polite and respectful words based on their social status and status.
Hwanin’s gaze turned to Isilite.
Isilite was twenty-nine years old when I heard about her half-sister becoming Buddha. She was also similar in face value, so I thought she was twenty-nine, but she was in her late teens on average.
“…….”
Hwanin shook his head slightly. And he decided to keep it simple.
She said that she should believe in the face value of her appearance without thinking about things like her age.
‘Then…….’
If you calculate the age of your girlfriends with an average of 100 years old, Yurpa’s lifespan is 230 years, Anne’s lifespan is 300 years, and Isilite’s lifespan is about 150 years.
Hwanin laughed. After all, this world is a different world. A lifespan of 150 to 300 years.
“Then I will be the first of us to die.”
Hwanin, who ate the sandwich and passed the empty basket to Isilite, thought it was a mistake as soon as he saw the expressions on his girlfriends’ faces.
Their expressions as if they were told by a doctor at the hospital, “Your lifespan is short.”
=Week… Sir?=
= What does that mean… Are you?=
=…… How many years does the Doryeong family usually live?=
Seeing the female friends approaching as if they were about to attack, Hwanin said calmly.
“Statistically speaking, the prime of a person who takes good care of himself ends between the ages of 40 and 50. Is 80 years a normal life expectancy? There are records of long-lived people living to be 130 years old, but it’s not very common.”
= What is that! Where is the race with a jagged lifespan of over 50 years!=
Anne screamed at which part she was angry. Isilite asks, holding her Hwanin’s hand while twitching the back of her nose as if she is about to cry.
= Oh, how old is the owner… ?=
“Twenty-six.”
The girlfriends were speechless.
In addition to the cities and towns she filled out, the map she received from her gallot records some of the locations of villages, villages, and cities purchased from her guild.
There are a total of 3 villages and 9 villages between Farhist and the capital, Rasubitan. There are, of course, many more unrecorded villages and villages.
And the place where Hwanin and the others are heading is Ouling, a riverside village about 200km away in a straight line.
“…….”
Looking back, Hwanin could see his girlfriends who were still silent with serious faces.
=…….=
=…….=
After lunch and leaving, women stare at only the ground, the back of Que’s head while riding, and the sky.
‘It’s no wonder.’
The Inhuman tribe, a species of Isilite, becomes an adult at the age of 12 to 15 and maintains a youthful appearance until almost 80 or 90 years old.
The Sucking Tribe, a tribe of Yurpas, become adults at the age of 20 and continue to look like adults until they die.
In the case of Fleurs, Anne’s tribe, they have a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 30. Until then, they maintain their appearance as boys and girls, and then grow rapidly after the ceremony. She remains young until several years before her death, then rapidly ages and dies.
To them, they become adults at the age of 18, remain young for less than 20 years, and continue to grow old until they die.
‘Because I don’t have innate abilities or racial abilities, and I don’t have a long lifespan.’
Was it such a shock that he lived less than them? Hwanin laughed at the sight of Anne, who always had a bright and healthy personality, looking down at the world seriously.
She and she herself laughed, but she put on a subtle smile.
I love them…….
At that moment, Hwanin caught a weak life.
It wasn’t a blatant killing attempt to kill you, but a sign that a hunter would give out when he found his prey.
After running for a while, I switched to walking a few minutes ago, but in the meantime, it seems that something caught this side.
Hwanin, who was guessing the direction of his life, looked at the back of Bisang’s head with one eyebrow furrowed.
If Bi-sang noticed the presence first before he could detect it, why did the presence detection suddenly become so inhumane?
Could it be the reason why my nerves became sharper on the 16th floor of the prison labyrinth?
Hwan-in, who never thought that her own senses were wrong, remembers this feeling while estimating the direction and distance of her life.
“…….”
The direction from which life was flying began to move rapidly. The movement trajectory, as if trying to move forward first and block the road.
Coup?
Perhaps because of that, Bi-sang cried softly and turned her head in the direction of the flying life. Right after that, the movement of the death penalty stopped and the amount of death was drastically reduced.
…… Coo. Quet. Cuckoo.
Bi-sang, who stopped walking, looked back at Hwan-in and whined that something was strange. In response to that admirable action, Hwanin reached out his hand and stroked his head.
“Something is up to us. It seems to be a wild beast.”
Quet? Whoops!
Really? Then scold me! Hearing that, Hwanin took out the scale from his waist pocket, and Isilite and Anne, who were stunned, reflexively took out the greatsword and the hammer of punishment and asked.
= Dolyeong? What?=
= Master. Are you an enemy?=
I didn’t lose my mind. Conversely, living has now become so faint that even Hwanin can’t feel it unless he pays attention.
“Okay. Do you feel alive?”
=…… No….=
= No…….=
Hwanin silently created a triple soul arrow with the two lowest-grade soul beads and shot it at the place where the life force was weakly flowing.
Fit-
There was no sound, but the spirit arrows flew like bullets and disappeared into the grass. Right after that, kyaaaaang! With the cries of a feline beast, a brown and gray quadruped animal the size of a car jumped out of the bush.
Wow-!
There were two devil horns on the head resembling a tiger, and dark red blood was flowing in streams, as if the spirit arrow had grazed his shoulder.
=It’s kual.=
=Strong?=
= It’s about 4th grade. Maybe it’s because the road has faded, something like that pops out.=
Qual gurgled, baring sharp fangs. When he tried to attack, he tried to leave it to Isilite and Anne, but…….
Grrrrr…….
Apparently, he was a cautious species, and he could see through his concealment, and that he was trying to run away, as if he felt that Issilite and Anne were at a disadvantage in participating in the war.
Most of those things are obsessively tracking and annoying. Even if you run away, they’ll come back and try to attack you.
As expected by Hwanin, Qual was under extreme vigilance after receiving an invisible attack and was measuring the angle of escape.
And the moment I tried to turn my body to run away.
Dudududuk-
In the pain of having something stuck in my eyeball, I lifted my front leg wide and kowooooong-!! I screamed.
Consciousness fades and the body loses strength. Ku-ung, who stretched out his body, died without knowing what he was going to die from.
Hwanin, who briefly looked at Qual, who died after having his eyeballs and brain pierced at once by four triple-layered soul arrows, looked down at the balance he was holding in his hand.
‘The speed of the soul arrow has increased. I think overlapping is more possible.’
As a test, let’s stack arrows with the lowest-grade soul orb, and it stacks up to 5.
Looking at the 3 stacks at 30 soul orbs and the 5 stacks at 50, it would be hard to say that there is no correlation between the number and the number of stacks.
In the meantime, Isilite, who had been looking at the dead beast and grabbed her by the hind legs and dragged her to the place where her ghost was, opened her mouth.
= Master. Can I tan this?=
“Okay.”
=I’ll help you too.=
= Yes. The meat will be grilled for dinner. When you cut it, you have to cut it well.=
= Uh …… Uh? Meat?=
=You can’t eat kual meat?=
=…… No, I don’t mean that……. No, nothing.=
=… ?=
=Ah, Miss Dew? Try using this tanning knife. This will work better.=
Hwanin, who saw his girlfriends gathering around Qual’s corpse, saw Qual’s soul coming out of the corpse and called them by force.
In terms of the size, shape, and clarity of the soul, it is on the level of the razor-sharp wild boar of Twin Mountains.
Isilite said that Qual was around level 4. After all, she is the lowest level for level 1, the lower level for level 2, the lower level for level 3, and the lower level for level 4. Then the bladed boar is also intermediate?
‘But it doesn’t have an aura.’
The razor boar’s soul had an aura of fire, but this Qual’s soul has no aura of fire.
‘Is it that only beings classified as holy beasts have such an aura?’
Hwanin, who was lost in thought for a moment, saw Isilite starting to sever Qual’s stomach, Anne, and Yurpa watching from the side, and imposed Qual’s soul on himself.
“…….”
My heart started pounding, beating twice as fast as usual.
The sense of increased physical ability is at a similar level to that of the lower spirit spirits as a whole.
Hwanin took out a notebook and wrote down on one side.
[Human Soul – Can be destroyed by hitting. Through coercion.
Aura O = The only soul possessed is Lua (sister Ryuhi). Effect unknown. Beading is not possible.
Aura X = Possibility of deprivation of physical freedom. Larger in size when marbled. In case of command, the effect of strengthening the body is about 3 times (need to check the difference according to the soul). ※If you turn a slain soul into a marble, it will turn red (requires confirmation of conditions).
Colored Soul = Sighted colors are blue and black. If you achieve Buddhahood, you can get skills from light powder. Not sure if beading.
Red Horn = mixed. Can spread disaster. Not sure if beading.
Beast Spirit – Can strengthen physical abilities by decreeing. Some skills can be acquired. Graded according to transparency and size. Through coercion.
Aura O = holy water? Beading possible. Side effects occur during the code (it was supposed to be a difference in the level of the soul, but it was modified due to unknown conditions. Confirmation required)
Aura X = 1.15 times lower level, 1.3 times lower level, 1.5 times lower middle level, 2 times lower level.
Elemental – Through force. The lowest level is a lump of light. Appears to be a humanoid of about 10 years old from the lower class, about 20cm tall.
Lowest = Increases physical ability by 1.15 times during the Code. No side effects. No additional effect.
Lower level = Increases physical ability by about 2 times during the course. Physical burden increases when the durability of the body is low. Has an additional effect.]
“Hmm.”
Looking at the memo, Hwanin thought, and closed the notebook.
There are a few things I want to confirm, but since it’s not an extreme situation where life comes and goes with a single piece of information like in the forest labyrinth, there’s no need to rush into fact-checking.
Anyway, my heart is thumping and my hot blood is circulating, so I’m sweating.
After confirming the effect of Qual’s program and thinking of stopping the program, Hwanin, who was slowly relaxing his body and checking his senses to see what kind of technique he had developed, closed his eyes and felt that his senses had become dangerously sensitive.
=Is that camouflage?=
= Yes. If you tear this and the other things connected to it and eat it, it smells really bad and the meat tastes bad. Be careful when removing.=
Even though I am about 10m away, I can clearly hear the conversations of the girlfriends as if I were listening right next to them.
Not only that, but you can hear their heartbeat and breathing, and you can clearly feel the movement of their body and muscles whenever they move.
Memories of their naked bodies were overlaid here, and their inner bodies were drawn as if they were wearing see-through glasses.
Watching and appreciating their naked bodies, as beautiful as statues in an art museum, Hwanin turned his attention to his surroundings.
Then, as if he were looking at himself in the third person, a grain of sand, a piece of stone, a blade of grass, a leaf, the movement of a flower, its shape, the surrounding scenery all began to come into his mind.
Sticky.
‘…… This is dangerous.’
I woke up feeling a headache as if my brain couldn’t process all the information. Then the amount of information was drastically reduced and the headache disappeared.
Qual’s skills were physical. In other words, sensory amplification.
I look around for a while and find a suitable hill. It was not a hilly area, but a flat area with hills here and there, so it was easy to find a hill of the desired height.
“I’ll look around on the hill for a while and then come back.”
= Uh go.=
After talking to Anne, ask Bi-sang to go to the hill you see over there, and climb to the top of the hill, which is about 5m high.
Wheein-
A gust of wind took off the hood and scattered his hair, but Hwanin didn’t care and looked around at the sky.
‘As expected, they’re following me.’
A small dot in the sky on the side where Farghist is located, the side where Hwanin and the others have moved. A dot so small that it would be difficult to find unless you knew and looked for it came into view.
As I turned on my soul vision and focused on the sensory amplification from before, the dots in the sky began to grow.
A female member of the Korean tribe, wearing a blue knight uniform with wings as blue as the sky. When her eyes meet, the pretty girl with a pretty face even shows a slightly surprised expression.
However, he did not show any reaction, probably because he did not believe that Hwanin had discovered this side.
And Hwanin confirmed that his prediction was correct.
As expected, the join people who had been following them since they left the city were the Farghist Knights. Under that article, there must be some history of other Farghist Knights.
In the unlikely event that a problem arises for him, he will intervene to solve it. That must be the will of the Holy Lord. It is easy to guess that they will continue to follow until they cross what is known as the Farhist sphere.
‘He cares about and cares for me in various ways.’
After completing the business, Hwan-in touched Bi-sang’s neck and said.
“Let’s go down.”
Quet!
Digging and jumping-
Bi-sang jumps off the hill and flies away while beating his wings in an appropriate manner, then spreads his wings wide. Along with him, a green wind blew from below and continued to glide.
Seeing this from below, Anne and Yurpa’s eyes widen, and their Kuudo soars in the sky, crying with envy.
The smell of Qual’s blood, which was being dismantled, rose slightly in the wind.
As soon as we set off after sorting out the leather and meat of the Qual, the talking of the female friends decreased again.
If earlier they had seemed dazed and dazed, this time each of them seemed to be thinking deeply about something.
The scene lasted until the sun set near a small stream to prepare for camping, but Hwanin was not the type to deliberately say that there was no conversation, so he silently wandered around the surrounding grass and picked up small firewood.
There are no trees or anything around, so where did these tree branches come from?
When he brought an armful of twigs into her arms, Anne let out a laugh.
= It is good to have a good command. There are no trees around, so where did you get the branches from?=
“When I came, I saw branches all over the place. So I picked it up.”
=That’s probably because of the typhoon~. Every summer a typhoon from Aleughel Lake sweeps through the jungles of the Roatings and disappears on the Farchist plains. At that time, I know that the tree fragments, leaves, and branches caught in the typhoon are scattered.=
…… Is that possible?
She wondered, but it was a good thing, so she poured it out beside the burning campfire and brushed off her clothes while Issilite, who was squatting by the stream, brought several skewers of meat the size of a human head.
Water drips down as if washed by a creek.
= Oh wow. Is it barbecue today?=
= Yes. It will be delicious because we will bake it with a special sauce.=
=Expected…… Ah.=
Anne, who was trying to reveal her expectations, showed a little regret, then she smiled as if she had never done that, and she said to Isilite.
= I will only eat vegetarian now. I will not eat eggs or meat fat. Oh, fruit is fine.=
Upon hearing her story, not only Isilite but also Yurpa next to her were surprised, and Hwanin also looked back at Anne with a puzzled face.
Because of her constitution, she can’t eat much, but she likes meat and fish more than anyone else.
The three of them were surprised by Anne’s sudden declaration, and there was also an emergency, ‘Cut off meat? He must be crazy.’ He gave Anne a look.
She quit meat Didn’t a Korean singer/entertainer buy sympathy for saying this? ‘If you stay away from meat and flour, you can live longer, but then there is no particular reason to live long.’
That’s how much her foodie means a lot to her life, and her declaration that she won’t eat meat, which she really likes, not even the food she hates, is enough to raise suspicions that her head has gone crazy. Did.
=Anne, does your head hurt? Is something wrong with breakfast?=
=I’m fine?=
Anne, who pouted her lips at Isilite, who placed her hand on her forehead, gathered her attention to listen.
= There is a reason, so listen. Her sword is…… I honestly don’t know, but you and Yuri’s sister will welcome you with both hands. =
At the same time, the story Anne brought up was something that shocked Hwanin beyond culture shock.
= Did you know that Fleur’s distant ancestor was a tree man? Our ancestors, who were wooden people, married people and gave birth to children, and became what we are today. There is another ability derived from this. Besides the innate ability of being a witness of truth.=
= Really? God, what ability is it?=
Anne smiled at Yu Lepa, who was showing great curiosity about new knowledge, staring at Hwan-in and said,
=The ability to extend the lifespan of a companion accepted by heart.=
