Chapter 269 – 263 Bijalux, Mining Town
After purifying all the people in the castle, Hwanin received their thanks and began to purify the remnants of the curse that clung to the building from the third floor of the old castle.
It is a bit cumbersome to open each door and look inside, but thinking that this is work, I carefully inspected the old castle, which is as wide as a large indoor gym, with my girlfriends and Esart behind me.
As soon as the purification began, Esart, who followed up to guide the castle, told the Hwanin all kinds of stories, from the current state of damage suffered by the family to plans for the future, to the past that Aldhelm hadn’t been like that from the beginning, and to getting things right.
As a result of a combination of psychological debt and various emotions such as respect, adoration, and awe, it was an act brought on by an obsession to say something if nothing was done.
Among them, there were stories that were meaningless and of no interest, stories that were close to conspiracy theories about the history of the soul, and gossip that hadn’t been confirmed, but there were also helpful stories.
= I have never seen a wave as great as that of a high-ranking soul priest in my 22-year-old life. It’s so gentle yet vivid, cozy and comfortable, and the range is so wide that even though I have faithfully observed the purification practices of many soul priests, I have never seen the level of tranquility of a high-ranking soul priest. Ah! That doesn’t mean that the level of the other soul masters is low…… !=
The wave of tranquility was a skill that other soul masters often used, and could be called the basic skill of soul masters.
Bijalux invites a spirit master to carry out the purification of the village as an event, with a term of one to two years.
In other words, it is a story that the spirit temple roams the streets during the Seungryeongcheonje, purifying the village with waves of tranquility, and finding the soul to become a Buddha.
Hwanin, who was purifying the third floor with unexpected little help, encountered corpses all over the hallway, and sometimes bumped into living brainwashed people.
Red bloodshot eyes, shivering body. Most of them seemed to be unable to open the door and come out, probably because their intelligence had been greatly reduced.
Paaaaa-!
Most of those people were speckled with curses, and even when attacking the Hwanin party, if they were hit by a wave of tranquility, the curse was usually neutralized and they often fainted.
Clap!
=Khehe.=
Or did he pass out after being beaten by the scales of the Hwanin?
= Hey! This is it!=
Those cured in this way were carried out by the soldiers Esart had called, and while Hwan-in continued to purify himself, he arrived at the room he had seen in Cedar’s memory.
This is Aldhelm’s room.
“…….”
=…….=
The head of Aldhelm rolling around with his skin peeled off, and the body covered in blood on the bed.
Hwanin left without saying a word, spreading a wave of tranquility. And it wasn’t long before he ran into another brainwasher in a small room in the corner.
“City… Er, man… Harm… No…….”
Unlike most of the others who had rolled her eyes and attacked her phantom party, she was holding herself back in the corner of her room, clutching her blanket with both hands, trembling and suppressing herself.
Hwanin noticed her identity.
It’s weird not being able to She was speaking in Korean, and she was the woman Cedar had left behind.
= Huh? This person is very similar to Doryeong.=
= That’s right Are you not from your hometown?=
=…… !=
Esart is startled. And Lim Se-hee, a woman who shrinks even more as if frightened in response to the voices of the group.
Hwanin unspokenly spread a wave of tranquility, and Lim Se-hee, who had been buried in a group of grey-white light, collapsed and passed out with a short groan as if her tension had been severed.
=Wow, he has strong mental power. Even though I was brainwashed by the curse, I didn’t want to harm people, so I stayed in my room.
“There may be more people like this. He moves a little faster.”
=Ah, yes.=
Lim Se-hee was carried outside in the hands of the soldiers Esart had called, and Hwan-in began to move a little faster.
From then on, Esart’s story became more and more disorganized.
It is a story that there are people who believe that the regurgitation of the soul and spiritual food that occurs when a soul master is killed is reprocessed and is a judgment performed by a high-level soul master.
The story of a soul master who has reached the pinnacle of soul magic and can issue coercive orders to the souls of living people.
Evil spirits can extract souls from the bodies of living people…….
=Sometimes people implicitly circulate the story that you can travel any distance at once through the path of the soul. Of course that makes no sensehahahaha… Under……. Sin, sorry.=
“That is an interesting story.”
Hwanin, who smiled at Esart, who hurriedly apologized, as if he thought he had said something rude belatedly, wondered if it was all nonsense.
Surprisingly, there were some stories that people’s imaginations made up based on facts. So, I wondered what other rumors would be like.
In addition, as expected, it was confirmed that there was a trump card to deal with the mixed situation when it reached the level of a noble family.
It was an arrow blessed by a soul whose price cannot be set per shot.
It was an arrow for a crossbow that a high-level spiritist spent a considerable amount of time with a special producer, and if you hit it, it could have the same effect as an attack by a spiritist.
=But the arrow was destroyed by brainwashers without even using it properly.=
The captain of the knight who was about to fire was pierced by his cursed spear and was shattered as it was.
Anyway, since it was helpful in collecting information in many ways, Hwanin was a little noisy, but he responded faithfully and rescued the brainwashed people who couldn’t get out of the purification and room in Goseong.
= To think that people who thought they were dead were still alive…….=
On the first day of purification, Hwanin, who purified the second and third floors and saved nine people, gained greater respect from people.
The next day.
Hwanin, who visited the castle again, cleaned the remaining first floor and went up to the second floor again to check if there was anything he had missed (some curses from the upper floor were still buried on the first floor).
It’s what people do. Rechecking is essential to avoid mistakes.
On the third day, I was able to purify all the curses attached to the old castle by touring the inside of the castle as well as the inner garden and other annexed buildings.
While Hwanin was purifying the castle, Aldhelm’s confusion was quickly resolved under the direction of Esart’s brothers and sisters.
When a mixture occurs, the first thing that comes to the fore is the departure of residents. Looting under the guise of a riot also takes place, and crimes take advantage of the chaos in the village.
In order to prevent it, the surviving rock knights, soldiers, and patrols were mobilized to announce that the situation had already calmed down, while suppressing the malicious rumors that were growing.
It’s not just an ordinary Honjae, it’s a Honjae from a powerful family that rules the village.
If this fact spreads, the 2nd and 3rd rumors may be expanded and processed, and the honor of the noble family may be thrown into the mud.
Esart’s younger brothers were concerned about that, so they handled everything transparently as quickly and wisely as possible.
First, it was announced that the outline of the case and subsequent handling were specified through a poster with the lord’s seal, and that the spread of the curse was blocked at the source through large-scale purification.
It stopped the spread of malicious and false rumors and people’s concerns in a neat way.
And by airlifting a large amount of Ilil flowers and plastering them around the castle and all over the village, it proved once again that the village is safe from confusion, fundamentally blocking the elements that would cause confusion.
As a result of this, the fact that Aldhelm’s depravity and the fact that he was murdered after incurring someone’s grudge spread widely throughout the village.
Had to spread. It is known that Hwanin cares about it. Since everything was revealed for the sake of fairness and transparency, Aldhelm could not receive silence and remembrance from the people even after he died, and he became an irreplaceable person in the world who almost destroyed the village.
It had no choice but to do so, as many as 30 attendants, servants and maids, knights and soldiers who worked in the castle that day were killed.
Even if they buried the truth in that they were all from the village, they had no choice but to become bastards.
Thanks to the fruits of all these activities, the Bijalux family’s reputation was barely able to keep from sinking.
The fact that he did not make a big deal out of trying to hide his family’s shame.
The fact that the situation was prevented with minimal damage by inviting a senior soul priest who stayed in the village in time.
The fact that Esart’s brothers and sisters generously released money for the subsequent situation and compensated for damages to the victims by paying alimony and consolation money.
It took into account the fact that he did everything in his power not to flow out of the castle.
However, Bijalux’s reputation outside the village will not be able to escape the abyss.
Humans are creatures that cheer for even more stimulating things. Rather than focusing on how Bijalux resolved the mix, I’ll focus on the fact that the mix took place within the Bijalux family.
In return, Hwanin’s fame and prestige soared without knowing how high it was.
A great senior soul priest who removed the catastrophic confluence. A holy pilgrim of the soul who cleansed the curse of the remaining mixture and collected the souls of the dead and made them to Buddhahood.
Even while working on removing the curse of the castle, Hwanin could feel her reputation rising in real time.
Hundreds of villagers, women, and girls lined up around the Stone Heart Hotel in an attempt to see Hwanin at least once, and almost every hour, village leaders and local dignitaries came to ask for an audience (they said this).
Of course her Hwanin deferred the request to all her female friends.
“I want my name to be known, but I can’t meet each and every person who asks to meet me to build a network without much meaning.”
= Yes. Besides escorting, some of the soul knight duties include handling such reckless requests for interviews. Don’t mind yourself, leave it to us.=
=Listen to it and I’ll make a separate note of what Doryeong wants to meet. You must be tired from purifying for three days, so rest in peace.=
=Master, I will be back.=
While her girlfriends were doing this, Hwanin also conducted information-gathering activities in her own way.
Thanks to this, Staetha learned that she was publicly known to have died trying to calm her son, who did not even recognize her mother.
She saw through to the political implications, but Hwanin did not respond.
She killed the original target, Ald Helm, and somehow even annihilated her soul when she rode on the mother, Staret.
I didn’t know if bursting the heart with a soul arrow would affect the soul, but anyway, the aftereffects were removed cleanly, so what I care more about here is just a waste of energy.
Instead, they leaked information to the other side and inflated rumors.
The fact that I learned from the memories left by Cedar, the technology that Aldhelm had invented and developed, turned out to be the result of the dark-haired woman who had been harvested by Aldhelm.
Shortly after this rumor spread, the person in question came to Hwanin.
“Ah…… I was really, really Korean. Black, uhhh…….”
After being found and rescued by Lim Se-hee and Ald Helm, she was used as a sex slave and bundle of knowledge. As soon as she saw her ghost, she wept and cried.
Her Isilite asked while her bewildered Anne and Yu Lepa patted her on the shoulder to calm her down.
= I brought him because he said he was from the same hometown…… Am I mistaken?=
“Not. It’s right to be a trend person.”
= Uh. But the doryeong doesn’t seem very happy.=
Anne, who had barely stopped crying, sat down on her sofa and approached Hwanin, who was a little further away.
“There is a saying in my home country. Be most careful with people from the same country you met in a foreign country.”
=But it’s not a travel destination, it’s a completely different world. I think I would be incredibly relieved to meet someone from the same dimension and from the same country…….=
“It is a field where two dimensions are known to exist. It is unknown whether another parallel world exists, and it is difficult to see that even the time zone will be the same. Even if everything is the same…….”
A country of 50 million people. When I explained that my feelings were not colorful enough to give meaning to meeting one of them, Isilite and Anne nodded in agreement.
=50 million is more than the combined population of all four countries, right? You are from a very large country.=
=If you are one of so many people, you might feel like someone else.=
Anyway, it was Hwanin who had guessed to some extent how Lim Se-hee came to visit him.
As she was resting during her castle cleansing operation, she, who had been cured of her brainwashing, passed by with some of her other maids, and she overheard a conversation between herself and her girlfriend and looked into her eyes as if she had seen a ghost. Because I’ve seen it float.
In addition, if you look at her name and appearance, you can’t help but know that she is the same Korean.
