Chapter 239 – 233 Ouling, the Village on the Bridge
Wearing a gray hooded robe and going up to the mansion, Hwanin looked around the house and the watchtower and noticed that there were watchmen and guards.
The gaze that I didn’t feel when I went up yesterday with Helisa was flying like a stab when I went up only with my girlfriends.
The intensity of the gaze was not at the level of receiving guests, so I started to get a feeling that things were going to get a little twisted. It seems that the intention of the action he was collecting rumors was misrepresented.
‘Should I have contacted you first through the waiter at the inn?’
Sure enough, when I arrived at the mansion, I saw Helisa blocking the entrance to the mansion with four female soldiers armed with a 4th-class female warrior and two 4th-class sorcerers.
The midway momentum between murder and anger stings Hwanin’s spirits. In particular, Helisa was showing feelings similar to betrayal.
You treated her like that yesterday, and you repay her favor with enemies! A face that thinks the same way.
=Are you a brain magician?=
= I’m not in a good mood…… Anne, let’s get ready.=
=Yes.=
Hearing the whispers of his girlfriends behind him, Hwanin briefly glanced at the yellow-haired sorcerer.
It is the aura of sorcerers that spreads out like a sonic boom from a fighter jet. But how did you notice the property? Is it because you have yellow hair?
Hwanin gestured to his girlfriends to wait and slowly approached Helisa.
On the outside, he thought that the girls would be less stimulated if he, a seemingly ordinary unemployed person, stepped forward.
Hwanin, who took a few steps forward alone so that the women would not feel threatened, quietly opened his mouth.
“Hello.”
= It seems to depend on the customer’s intention whether to say hello or not. May I ask why you came back to the mansion fully armed?=
The answer is polite, but I feel the bones in the words. The posture is also subtle. His left hand was raised neatly on his stomach, but his right hand hidden behind his waist seemed to be holding a dagger or poison needle.
At this rate, there will be a 100% fight.
It was Hwanin who didn’t care if it happened, but this situation was a friction caused by a misunderstanding, so I conveyed my true feelings to solve it through dialogue first.
“The reason I went around town and gathered information was not to do something to Mr. Malvin.”
=The disgusting people who came that day also said that.”
“…….”
Come to think of it, yes.
Anne is a 6th-class professional who looks like a plate knight wearing a cloak because of the light of salvation she wears inside her. Isilite is similarly a plate chain warrior, and Yurpa is also a 6th-class mystic with a staff.
Marthe was also unemployed, and he must have been accompanied by a high-ranking professional like himself. From Helisa’s point of view, it must have been a traumatic feeling.
Maybe it’s because I’m speechless for a while. Helisa and the women’s eyes become menacing, the female warrior’s hand goes up to the hilt of her sword, and the magician?
‘A real brain magician.’
Yellow electricity was gathering at the head of the staff in his left hand.
Women who put down everything this time and reveal their determination to be together even if they die. Hwanin, who felt that his girlfriends were also showing tension in that spirit, shook his head slightly and emphasized again that it was a misunderstanding.
“It seems that there has been a misunderstanding between us. First of all, I apologize for not disclosing my identity yesterday. Calm down first…….”
=Doryeong, those older sisters are going to attack right now because their eyes are turning? I think it would be better to just quickly reveal your identity.=
It’s because she doesn’t believe me even if I reveal that she’s buying her soul, and will rush at me saying ‘Die, you villain!’ That said, if I raised my hand to use the Wave of Tranquility, I think it would be regarded as an intention to attack.
Isilite and Anne pull out their weapons as they see the figure on the other side being pulled tight enough to break the tension.
It’s a space vibration bomb.
Hwanin, who felt all of them thanks to his heightened senses, wanted to be whatever he wanted to be, so he first revealed his identity.
“I am a spirit master.”
=…….=
=…… !=
Regardless of whether I was dumbfounded or stupefied, I felt a momentary gap between Helisa and the women and quickly threw the words out.
“I will show you the evidence from now on.”
Before the other side steps forward to stop talking nonsense, I grab my hands and interlock them. Seeing this, the sorcerer flinched with his staff, but the lightning did not come flying.
Hwanin, who watched all the action, fired a wave of tranquility.
Hwaaak- Under the scorching sunlight, grayish-white waves embrace warmth and spread quickly.
=Uh, huh?=
= This… Thing.=
Perhaps because of the effect of the wave of tranquility, the soldiers who looked like they would attack at any moment looked dazed. Helisa’s sturdy expression gradually loosened as if she had entered a hot spring, and the female warrior, who exuded vigor when touched, gazed blankly at the wave of tranquility…….
=This, is this really a wave of tranquility?=
= It’s the first time I’ve seen it myself! Hey, Helisa? How do you do it?=
I started to get very upset.
At this moment, Isilite and Anne quickly jumped out and blocked Hwanin with their bodies and shouted.
= This is a real spirit company, so it’s not what the unnies think, so calm down! The warrior sister over there took her hands off the weapon, and her brain magician sister also put in some ugly energy! =
=The reason I gathered information by going around your town was because I was also suspicious of you. I was wondering if you guys did bad things and the souls were generated in large numbers.=
Isilite, who suddenly stepped forward, and the female magician, who momentarily flinched at Anne’s action, fumbled.
= Ah. That, that…….=
=Yes, we misunderstood each other, so let’s get the weapons first?=
= Calm down. We have no intention of fighting.=
The sharp momentum of the women, who seemed to have hardened their heads for a moment, disappeared like a lie.
And the two workers and soldiers who grasped the situation began to tremble with the faces of a big trouble.
In this world, attacks on the spirits are treated as a more serious crime than immorality. There are even places where an attack on the spirit master is the same level of crime as a plan to overthrow the state.
Helisa dropped the dagger she had hidden behind the ground, Chang-grang, and ran out, knelt down in front of her phantom, and slammed her forehead into the ground.
Thud!
=I have committed a great disrespect to Mr. Spirit! This, this behavior is all my own, please punish me and forgive the children and Malvin! Sorry! Sorry…… !=
Thud! Thud! Thud!!
The sleek, white forehead hit the ground, turning red and blood starting to flow.
Hwanin lets out a short sigh.
Not being able to see the aura isn’t always a good thing.
Even so, she has an aura that has more advantages than disadvantages for herself. As she is asymptomatic, she puts aside her short thoughts and approaches Helisa, who is prostrated in plaster.
=Ki, please wait! Please wait!!=
The front door of the mansion slammed open and Malvin = Ruby Joo jumped out, followed by the mansion’s servants and maids with frightened faces.
= Bitch! No!=
= No, son! Come back!!=
Hwanin, who had a rough idea of what was going to happen, slightly furrowed one eyebrow in annoyance.
As expected, Malbin hugged her Helisa as if she were about to fall and shouted at Hwanin with a teary face.
=Please! I’ll give you all the treasures and labyrinths passed down from generation to generation, so please forgive Helisa!=
“…….”
No matter how you look at it, it was the look of a man trying to protect the woman he loves. After a while, the servants and maids who came after him also fall down and start begging to save Malvin and Helissa.
Seeing more than ten people prostrate themselves in front of him, Hwanin felt like a villain.
However, as if this wasn’t the end, Ouling’s soldiers, about twenty or so, rushed uphill.
It was a face imbued with desperate determination.
= You are the heinous pawn of evil! Now we can’t stand it either!
“…… Whoa.”
I keep feeling like I’m looking at you somewhere. It seems that the soldiers who saw this situation from the watchtower in the middle of the bridge came running.
Hwanin piled up one more stack of his murderous intent towards Marte, holding his spear and watching Ouling’s soldiers attacking with calm eyes.
First…… I’d better knock him down and calm him down. I guess that’s how the story goes.
Malvin, the servants, and the maids, unaware of what they were doing at the sight of the soldiers grabbing their weapons and attacking, showed hope on their faces, but Helissa and the rest had all the blood drained from their faces.
= Oh, no! He is the soul…… !=
Tuck! Woodeuk, Kwajijik- Bang!
Aww! Ugh!? Pretty much!
…… Sir… But…… ?
Helisa, who tried to stand up to stop her, stiffened.
At one point, a long stick in his hand, every time the spirit priest swings and stabs it, Owling’s soldiers roll on the ground and fly through the sky.
Clap! Fuck! Clumsy-!
Aang-! Aaaaagh! Quack…… !
A female soldier who was hit in the head collapses with her eyes turned upside down, and the soldier tripping on her pole spins like a windmill, colliding with another soldier and falling like a domino.
Yu Lepa, who was staring blankly at the Space Vibration Bomb tightly in his hand, asked the ladies.
=… Hey, girls? You don’t have to dry yourself…… ?=
=Enjoy it.=
= Yes. It seems that Doryeong is also a bit annoyed at being treated as a villain for questioning and answering, and they should be beaten like that to feel a little lighter even if they find out that the person they attacked is a spirit master.
I misunderstood it arbitrarily, asked for forgiveness, misunderstood it arbitrarily, and attacked it.
There is a saying, “Don’t fix your hat under a pear tree and don’t fix your shoelaces in a melon field.”
It was Isilite and Anne who were a little saddened by the sight of the soldiers screaming and rolling around after being hit by the baton of Hwanin.
= Turn off….=
= Aww, aww.=
= Ugh…….=
It took less than two minutes for twenty or so male and female soldiers to spread out with their nosebleeds bursting and their eyes widened.
Soldiers fell here and there, crouching and moaning in pain.
There are a few 3rd and 2nd class workers among them, so they are not weak soldiers, but to Hwan-in, who can destroy even 4th class + Lee Hyeong-jong at once, they are no better than children.
Helisa, who was riding a horse, regained her senses only after all her soldiers had fallen, and jumped up and pointed at her phantom, asserting that he was between souls and not those demons.
It was a very late point at the latest, but the misunderstanding was resolved anyway, and as Hwanin expected, the atmosphere was finally settled to the point where they could have a conversation.
As Hwanin expected, the soldiers who had been beaten up were saying wow, the spirit master is fucking strong, with expressions on their minds going back and forth, but anyway.
Things got a little bigger, but at this point, it can be said that the situation has been sorted out.
According to the rumors, no memorial service was held, and there is no such custom in Owling, so if you gather the spirits and hold the memorial service in front of the villagers, there will be no false rumors spreading.
Hwanin looked around at the people and spoke in a calm but clear voice.
“Even if it’s a misunderstanding, everyone risked their lives to protect Mr. Malvin. Seeing his loyalty, I will leave this matter to the Buddhist question.”
=Ga, thank you!!=
“A strong answer is good. Then, soldiers, please explain to the villagers who are coming up now that it was a happening and send them back. You just have to stop anyone from coming up until we go down.”
=Yes, yes!!=
Like a raccoon, a third-class female guard captain with blue eyes and bleeding nose, raises her salute and runs downhill with the exhausted soldiers.
Hwanin put his balance in his pocket and reached out his hand to Malvin, who was sitting in a daze.
“Please wake up.”
= Oh, that, that… Really sorry…….=
“Since it happened due to a misunderstanding, it would be better to let it go like a proudly flowing paywell.”
=Yes, yes.=
Was the Tanaka tone he showed when we met yesterday was forced? As if embarrassed, Hwan-in grabbed Malvin, who was revealing her youthful nature while covering her eyes, and patted him on the shoulder.
“Mr. Malvin, would you like to talk with me for a moment? Please only follow Miss Helisa.”
Whenheheads to the family grave with Helisa and Melvin, who are clearly nervous, only Isilite follows.
The resident troops and attendants of the mansion lingered around as if they were not bothered. However, he does not have the courage to break through the two 6th grade workers, Anne and Yurpa, so he only frets with impatience.
Hwanin, who came down to the family tomb, sighed lightly as he looked at the souls standing in the shadows like his gravestone.
When a large number of people gather, get tangled up, and quarrel, yang energy naturally arises. Considering the nature of the soul attracted to yang, this scene certainly seems problematic.
When Hwanin and Malvin stood in front of Cedar, a widowed woman with two tails, who was standing in front of the ossuary, Cedar’s head lifted and her eyes widened.
All kinds of emotions are stirred up in her eyes as she looks at Malvin.
Hwanin, who was staring at Cedar, turned to Malvin and Helisa and said,
“I knew what was going on in the village, albeit roughly. And I decided that the man who caused you pain is most likely the man I was after.”
=… Yes? Uh, could it be that the Spirit Master also suffered from that human?=
“There is a village called Carton north of Farkhist. Something big happened there not too long ago.”
As she recounted what had happened at Carton and showed Marthe’s montage drawn in her notebook, Malbin’s shoulders began to tremble slightly. Cedar, who has come up behind her, also sees the montage, then grabs her breasts and gasps.
Hwan-in, who was watching her engulfed in primal fear, asked quietly.
“Can you tell me what you know about him?”
Malvin, who had been trembling until then, let out her short sigh and opened her mouth with her shaking eyes as her Helica held her hand tightly next to her.
=That, that person’s name is Aldhelm Lemarite Bijalux……. Hey, I’m a direct descendant of the lord who rules all the mining towns in the Bijarucks Mountains to the south of here.=
Is Marte an anagram of a middle name?
Helisa caressed her by her side, but Malvin stammered and continued her words, unable to overcome her fear.
=I don’t know why that person did that, I don’t know. Kids playing on the street, killing people just because they bumped into each other, laughing like it was fun, laughing!=
“Mr. Malvin’s mother was also killed by him.”
=Yes, yes. At first, we, the villagers, claimed that we had tarnished the baron’s honor, but later…… Anyone can see that he acted as if his purpose was murder and torture…… Yeah Uh, mom too…….=
“Ah…….”
Cedar, who had been listening to the story, sobbed as he covered his face with his hands. Shrugging his shoulders, crouching down and crying, it is the image of him shuddering in agony as an unbearable memory comes to mind.
The problem is that part of the soul that makes up Cedar’s body is dyed faintly red.
“…….”
Hwanin gave a signal to Malvin to stop talking about her, and then watched Cedar as the red light covering her fingertips and toes gradually ate away at her soul.
「Aaaaa…… Uhhhhh…….”
Eventually, the sobs begin to pierce your ears.
If left as it is, there is a sign that it will surely turn into a mixture. Hwanin clasped his hands together and fired a wave of tranquility.
Because it is irregular, the beautiful fluctuations of light warmly embrace Malvin, who was trembling with trauma, and Cedar, who was immersed in pessimism.
Cedar’s soul, which had been slightly stained with blood, regained its original grayish white color. Her sobs, which seemed to call for despair, turned into ordinary tears, and she let out a long sigh with her tear-stained, pitiful face as if she had come to her senses.
“I’m sorry, Spirit Master. It looked ugly.”
‘The calming effect is better than using coercion. Then…….’
After thinking for a while, Hwanin said to the bewildered Malbin that the effect of her holy wave freed her from her negative emotional state.
“Malvin. The reason that brought you here is no different. Don’t you want to see your mother?”
=… Miss you. But her mother is dead…….=
Could the Spirit Master allow us to meet again? She nodded her head to Malvin, who showed such anticipation, and looked at Cedar, who was still covering her tears with her sleeve, she said.
“I will help you meet her mother. After that, I hope you can help me too. I will not ask for anything dangerous or difficult.”
= Really?! Mother, I’ll do anything I can to help you see you again! Uh, how can I do it?!=
Is it because I’m still young? Excessive use of empty checks is not trustworthy in Hwanin’s eyes.
Her feelings were similar to that of Helisa, and Malvin let out a small sigh from behind.
Anyway, after accepting her promise from Malvin, who reacted violently, Hwanin put her hand on Cedar’s shoulder and pushed her aura.
“Ah…… ?”
As if coated on the grayish-white soul of cedar, a gloss passes once.
= Don’t… ?=
=… Mother?=
“Maru, Helsa. Do you see me…… ?”
‘What was that just now?’
Hwan-in, who had slightly frowned at the momentary scene that passed in front of Cedar’s aura, stepped out of the way as they approached each other as if they were having a dramatic reunion.
=Mom!!=
Then, Malvin bursts into tears and jumps into Cedar’s arms.
There was no scene like a touching embrace. Malvin pierces Cedar as it is, slams her face into the cliff opposite her, and falls into a slump.
=Quaang!=
“Son!”
=Bob!=
Hwanin, who was looking at Malvin, who was showing off her body with her whole body, looked back at Isilite at the sound of rapid breathing next to her.
Lips tightly closed until they turned white. Her shrugged shoulders. A clenched fist.
Isilite, her face slightly flushed, was struggling to contain her laughter.
‘Is the point of Isilite’s laughter being her body jokes?’
Hwanin, who was considerate of her in the way she would burst into laughter after talking to her, hung something unknown whether it was tears of pain or emotion around her eyes and turned her gaze from her smiling Malvin to other souls. .
The phantom-like souls hit by the waves of tranquility were coming to their senses little by little.
