Chapter 244 – 238 Ouling, the Village on the Bridge
After the memorial service, Malvin and Helisa left immediately in a wagon filled with various goods to be given to the lord.
As known to the villagers, it was a visit to the Farghist castle lord to remove the shadow cast over Owling.
= If you are incorporated into the Chengdu, won’t something like the last time happen? =
= It’s a natural thing to say. When it comes to Saint Parchist, it’s the most prosperous high-class city in central Radsea. Even if it’s Visalux, you can’t act recklessly.=
=It is true that it is much safer because it is the same distance as Visalux.=
The atmosphere in the village was good. It is because the mind and body have been purified by the wave of serenity close to baptism, and also because the cause of the confusion, the fundamental fear, has completely disappeared.
= Doryeong Doryeong. A shadow has fallen on your face. Do you have new concerns?=
Hwanin, who was gazing at the Faywell River through the window in her mansion where her master had left, looked back at Anne.
Isilite was also standing next to her, both wearing weapons and armor as if they were expecting a battle.
Even though the battle was not going to happen right away, thinking of Aldhelm, he couldn’t stay still, so he was dressed up.
Hwanin looked out the window again and murmured quietly.
“I was thinking about whether Malvin’s party could arrive safely.”
= The troops of the family from the village went together. With two 4th class workers and four skilled soldiers trained in combat, you should be able to solve the attack of demons or monsters without any problems.=
“I can’t guarantee that none of them have been bribed by Aldhelm.”
= Ugh…… ?=
=Ah.=
Anne screamed in dismay.
=Yes, then I have to go after him right away! Aldhelm might attack Malvin!=
“I have prepared all possible preparations.”
Anne, who was momentarily dazed by the smiling Hwanin’s reaction, pouted her lips with her slightly reddened face.
=Don’t be surprised, really.=
She said, “It wasn’t just that she hid it until right before departure. She has also finished inspecting the belongings and prize delivery.”
= That’s right. There is a possibility that she will chase her with a tracking magic tool and attack her…….=
Hwanin nodded at Anne’s self-talk.
“Even if there was a spy and sent a telegram, by the time the news gets into Aldhelm’s hands, it will be after Malvin and his party have arrived in Farhist.”
=If there is any possibility that the person who was bought will harm Malvin?=
“Helisa said she would take care of that, so you can trust her.”
Issilite thought about the worst possible assumption in her own way and asked cautiously.
=If Helisa was bought by Aldhelm…… ?=
“She thinks it’s impossible, but even so, Helisa won’t let her do anything. If Malvin, who has the ruby brooch I gave you, dies or gets injured, it’s no different than Siddur and the Farghist lord’s face.”
The ruby brooch is an object of honor for herself, her Higher Spirit Sign, and for her mother, the Lord of the Farghest Castle. Touching Malvin with something like that is tantamount to saying that he will fight against the owner of a saint-class city.
= Then what are you worried about? Of these, it seems that she has all three safety devices. =
“Because there is one uncertainty. It’s time.”
Although the path is different from Bijalux, the radius of action of Aldhelm’s man is known only to Carton. In addition, Ald Helm’s current location is unknown, and a time period of about two years has passed since he committed it.
The chance of encountering Aldhelm coming this way on the way to Farhist is slim, but it exists.
=…… It could be.=
In her own way, through the captain of the guard, she asked carefully to inquire if any of the villagers had shown suspicious behavior since she arrived, and had instructed Cedar to keep an eye on the village from yesterday.
As a result, I was contacted that there was nothing outstanding, but paradoxically, I was a little concerned.
I wondered if Aldhelm really couldn’t foresee this situation.
He wouldn’t have guessed the situation that an entity like himself would intervene, but he probably thought that Malbin might go to a nearby city and entrust him…….
= Master. So, is it okay for us to follow Mr. Malvin?=
“I thought, judging from the information given, that if Ald Helm moved, he was more likely to come this way.”
= Ah. So he stayed in the village. Then, what if Aldhelm chases Mr. Malvin because the probability is low?=
“At that time, Malvin will contact me immediately. If we get a call, we just have to run to Farkhist day and night.”
Anne looked at Hwanin, who answered without hesitation with her fierce face.
Somehow, it feels like the world I live in has changed since I met Hwanin.
Until now, the bad guys she had experienced were stealing in the fields, stealing party profits out of material greed, or murderers attacking people in the labyrinth.
But after being together with Hwanin, aren’t there only things happening that make those bad guys look cute?
The third daughter of a 7th-class baron dies in the labyrinth, and the 1st-class baron of Crabberry commits a pleasure killing act in the labyrinth, and a Farghist warrior, who can be said to be a high family, is bought by Crabberry and tries to lay the blame on this side. Things started right before the war broke out, plus what happened in Owling.
Before she joined herself, she faced a murder case in the town of Carton, and also a couple of mixed up?
In Wayford, a large troupe in collusion with a local gang tried to steal the green Quein emergency, and 10 people, including the key ringleader, were skinned and died.
…… If this continues to happen, it will be hard to keep your sanity, but is Doryeong all right?
“…….”
Anne smiled awkwardly at the visionary gaze of her as if reading her own thoughts, and put her hand on her waist and said,
= Well. So, we just have to trust the lord and wait for the bad guy to come?=
“Only 7 more days to stay. If something happens, it has the highest probability of happening in a week, and if it doesn’t happen, you can visit Visalux in a week.”
= Can I go there? What about here?=
“Do. Seven days is enough time to do everything possible in Malvindo Farkhist.”
When she looks out the window again, she sees the spirit of Cedar wandering the skies of Owling.
Her naked body, her limbs stained dark red, covered her body with a fainter aura.
A reliable dagger was also in hand, so it would be easy to assassinate Aldhelm even if he was hesitant.
=…… Doryeong. Are you thinking of causing confusion with Bijalux?=
Hwanin, who looked at Anne and Isilite for a while, shook her head slightly.
“No. As long as the lord of Bija Lux stays still, she has no intention of making a big deal out of it. I will only assassinate Aldhelm and get out of the city.”
Assassination. The women make awkward faces at the word that doesn’t fit the soul history the most.
Hwan-in noticed that the female friends’ reactions made her believe that she would be able to create a mixture, but…….
‘I don’t care. Do you trust me that I won’t abuse it?’
= Oh, that’s right. Doryeong and Yuri said they appraised all the gifts Malvin gave them.
“Is it.”
I went to the quiet and sunny room on the 2nd floor of the Lu Bei Zhu family residence, among the 8 rooms, and knocked gently.
=Welcome~.=
“I heard that the feelings are over. How is it.”
=It was the only option Helisa told me about. None of them were negative or given location tracking options.=
In a room filled with warm light with the curtains drawn, two rings, an earring, and 20 gold coins are piled up between the enchantment tools spread out on the desk.
“Are the gold coins fine?”
= Yes. It is clean and has no traces of any other phase power besides the base grant. By the way, options like this are hard to find and expensive, but it seems that Malvin owes a lot to him.
Reminds me of the fact that I didn’t tell her that I gave the ruby brooch to the two of them, so when I told her, Yu Lepa looked a bit regretful, but she quickly put it away.
= What would you like to be similar to? First of all, these two rings are a set of two.=
Yurpa, who picked up the blue and purple rings, puts them on the Hwanin’s hand and explains.
=This blue ring promotes phase power recovery, and the purple ring can charge phase power. You can use the charged phase power whenever you want.=
“It sounds like it would be expensive just by hearing the explanation.”
= Right. A set of two would be worth 50 gold coins?=
Hearing Anne let out a small exclamation, Hwanin also looked at the ring in surprise.
A blue translucent ring with a blue gem the size of a thumbnail and two purple translucent rings with purple gems of similar size.
‘Is the blue phase stone related to phase power recovery, and the purple one related to the absorption and release of phase power?’
Hwan-in looked at the highly opaque ring and found that the inside of the ring was densely engraved with lines that looked like earthworms crawling.
It is a spelling sentence. Flickering letters in each ring color. And small phase stones the size of sesame grains stuck between them.
“There are many small phase stones embedded in the ring.”
=That’s one of the reasons it’s expensive. It’s a secondary spell sentence that maintains the remaining phase energy of the core phase stone. If you replace that small phase stone periodically, you can use it forever. The core phase stones are also level 4, so the effect is quite high.=
“…… Is that an option for 50 doubloons?”
Level 4 phase stones cost about 7-8 gold coins if they are common colors. In the case of a rare color, the price tends to jump up to 2 times.
Phase stones related to phase power recovery usually cost well over twice the market price.
If the phase stones used for the two rings together cost about 30 gold coins, wouldn’t that mean that the other auxiliary phase stones, the material for the ring, and the processing cost were all 20 gold coins?
It doesn’t make sense that a pair of rings cost 50 gold coins, considering that the higher the maker’s level, the higher the price due to brand value.
Although the market itself formed by gold coins is not understood in the first place.
Yurpa laughed and said.
=From the producer’s point of view, it means that the store price is 50 gold coins. If you put it on a famous auction house in Chengdu or the capital city, 80 gold coins? Would I be able to get that? Magic items related to phase power recovery and preservation are always rare and very popular product groups.=
Seeing that, Hwanin nodded and looked at her with her earring. Then, Yurpa quickly added an explanation.
=This earring has the same effect as the pearl-colored phase stone you have. A magical weapon that increases the holder’s technical power. The rest is the same as the ring. Probably made by the same creator.=
It definitely feels similar to a ring and earrings. Whether it’s a pattern or a glossy texture.
After receiving the earrings and ring, Hwanin proposed them to his girlfriends.
