Chapter 284 – 278 Helumen, City of Heroes
The time when the street lights start to turn on one by one as the day gets dark.
Returning to the hotel with Isilite, Hwanin recalled the situation of Helumen, which he came across by chance while gathering information about the lord.
‘Helumen is a city that has historically been governed by delegating city management to a faction.’
The highest class and ruler of the city is, of course, the Wirt family. 70% of Hellumen’s total armed forces come from within the lord’s family.
However, the operation and management of the city is not carried out by the Wirt family.
The lord establishes policies through a meeting with the elders of the family, and a government agency under him manages and runs the city.
The point here is the way the institution is elected.
When the lord’s generational change approaches, several factions are raised under the direction of the lord, and after inciting competency among factions, the one that wins will play the role of the institution and inherit the work and influence of the previous institution.
“…….”
Hwanin’s family was gradually branching out into unpleasant ways.
Now is the time when the lord replacement is approaching roughly 5 to 10 years later, and a new faction is forming in the middle of the day.
The woman she witnessed while flying in the sky on a flight might be the lord of Hellumen. Wouldn’t she be throwing herself and Isilite’s work as fertilizer for the soil that would nurture her clique that the woman would do with her posterity?
‘If you think about it with common sense, it can’t be like that.’
However, the problem is that her own common sense is not the common sense of this world.
If things go according to this assumption, she herself will become the lord of Hellumen…….
“Well….”
=Master?=
“It is nothing.”
Hwanin lightly shook Isilite’s hand as she looked at her, wondering if there was something to be done.
Maybe it’s because my body feels a little heavy and drowsy since yesterday. I feel like my thinking is focused on the negative side.
Hwanin, like her lover, felt Isilite’s body temperature close to her, calmed her mind, and thought again.
I don’t like being swayed by other people’s intentions, but the fault is always on this side. Even if the lord is a bit forced, if she makes a reasonable proposal based on her reason, I should accept it.
But if it goes too far, it’s no good. The other side is holding the hilt of her sword, but this side is also wearing steel gauntlets with blades attached.
The fact that she is a high-level soul who has started to be called a saint, and that her guidance is the way to invite her will also be a handicap, and the proof of the Farghist castle lord will also be a strength.
Among the party, there is a lover and colleague who is a saint fighter of the main body of the Church of Earth God and one of the five cardinals is a friend.
By the time I returned to Hotel Helumen, it was completely dark.
=Are you back, Holy Son.=
When I entered the hotel, which was bright as daytime due to the magic tool lighting, the manager who was in the lobby approached me with hasty steps and bowed politely.
“Yes. You seem to have been waiting for me. Do you have something to say?”
=I am sorry to say this as soon as I return, but there is someone who has been waiting for the Holy Son.=
“…….”
It’s not that he’s waiting, is it an expression of the person who’s been waiting?
Considering the hotel manager’s expression of regret and his remarks, it must be a visit from a high-ranking person.
Could it be that he came from the castle? He thought he wouldn’t do anything stupid by sending someone on the day he arrived in the city.
Since there was no one else to visit him, he wondered who it was and asked the manager for guidance. When he arrived at the hotel’s elegant tearoom, he met an unexpected person…….
=To the Green Saint who is making a name for himself in the southern part of Radsea, Farhist’s Lutia Aslid greets you.=
A person of outstanding beauty with round, white bear ears, elegance and loveliness coexist.
She was the second daughter of a Farghist lord.

=Haaa~.=
Yurpa, who was heading towards the Church of the Land Gods on Kura, looked back at Anne’s great sigh and asked.
=Are you worried about Ms. Dew?=
= Yes……. Dew Seul is also Dew, but she is also worried about Doryeong. She told her to leave it to herself, but as her older sister knows, there are many eccentric people among the nobles. No matter how much Wirt is a heroic family…… No, no, I’m more worried because it’s a hero’s family.=
If the Wirt family rushes forward with the unique self-esteem of a powerful family and hurts Dee Seul, there is a high possibility that Doryeong will turn around with her smiling face.
Doryeong is also a person who surpasses the ordinary in many ways. That’s right, isn’t the method used to kill Aldhelm, as well as anything an ordinary person could never do?
Anne could not imagine with her own head what would happen under such circumstances.
Let’s guess with poor imagination…….
‘Doryeong can handle the soul and make it mixed. And she doesn’t forgive touching herself. That would also apply to possessions.’
If it gets very angry, it may drop concoction on Helumen. A pure spiritist would never do this, but Doryeong has the abilities of a spiritist and a necromancer.
The catastrophic confluence is over in a dense metropolis like Hellumen.
Farhist is at least spacious, but Hellumen is extremely dense. Looking at this street alone, dense residential buildings that are likely to house hundreds of people fill the left and right sides of the eight-lane road.
People walking on the sidewalk are all dressed in stylish suits and dresses, and the carriages on the road are of high quality, and the weight of que for vehicles is higher than in other cities.
There are also 2-3 story buildings or single-story houses if you go beyond one block of the district, but the more central you are, the 1st floor is a shop and the 2nd to 4th floors are residential. I heard that the size of the city is about 2/3 of that of Farghist, but the population is similar.
What if a catastrophic confusion occurs in the middle of the city?
‘It’s the end.’
That situation should be prevented.
Having roughly grasped what Anne was thinking, Yurpa worried a little. Will she reveal the trick she’s been hiding, or will she keep hiding it.
‘It’s a plus in many ways rather than hiding it, right?’
The lady Anne she saw herself is lighthearted and flirtatious at times, but she is infinitely sincere when she needs to be serious, and her heart for her colleagues and Hwanin is stronger than anyone else’s.
Even if you let her know her own secret, she won’t feel bad about it.
Yurpa nodded and said as she saw the road sign, exited the main road and entered the two-lane road leading to the Church of the Land God.
=I haven’t told you this yet, but I can do a 50km space leap in an emergency. No, if it were you, would you already guess?=
Anne is taken aback when she recalls telling her Hwanin that making a portable transmission magic device grafted with teleportation technology into a magic device is her dream.
She almost screamed out loud, then recalled her surroundings and moved her coupin to close to Kura’s side and whispered.
=Really? No, 50km is huge!=
= Of course, I can’t just write it. Every time you use it, you cut off about a year of lifespan, and if you use it 5 times, you won’t be able to get out of bed for a few days. I can’t go to places I haven’t been to, and I can’t even go to old places in my memory.=
Instead, how to use it is not complicated. 30 seconds? If you have that much time, you can use it 5 times in a row.
= Uh, uh Since it’s that much space jump, that kind of penalty is natural.=
=If the Wirt family wants to harm you, they will run away with only you, the girls, and Bisang. If the situation is not good enough and only one person can escape, the girls will give up and let themselves escape.=
= That’s normal. If I could do it, I and Dew would do it too. Uhh, I feel relieved that my biggest worry has been resolved. I’m really glad you came. =
Yurupa burst into a small laugh. Anne’s reaction was no different from her own guess.
= So don’t worry too much. Even if the situation becomes the worst, if you somehow avoid the situation, you will become the incarnation of anger and later drop a disaster on Helumen~.=
= Ugh. The best thing is that that doesn’t happen. If that happens, even if Doryeong is a saint, it will become a problem…….=
=Jung Then, how about giving the church a little luck?=
= Huh? Doryeong told me to only request things related to Yeongdo…… Ah.=
He said he wouldn’t like messing around behind his back. So, isn’t it said that it’s not bad to move openly in front of you?
As soon as she arrived at the Hellumen branch of the Church of the Earth God, Anne, whose expression changed strangely, she went through the procedures. I tried to communicate.
She can use her personal terminal crystal orb that she has, but her remaining phase power is slightly low due to her last use. You should use this when you are really in a hurry.
As soon as the video was connected like that, a green-eyed beauty with light silver hair appeared on her rectangular crystal panel, and her face became red and angry.
[Hey crazy fat boy! Don’t you know that this is our first contact in 5 years?!]
=… Are your eyes aging from sitting in front of a desk all day and looking at papers? Do I still look like a muscle pig?=
[Noisy! What do you say after making a phone call after 5 years? You want me to investigate the zero island situation? Last time, he didn’t contact me and just threw out something to say! Isn’t it the right thing for a human being to say hello first, at least asking how you’ve been?]
=Ah~ My dear friend Leah, how are you? I got along very well with our doryung, biting and sucking and having fun while doing everything we had to do~.=
[… Bad year.]
Yurpa looked at Anne in amazement as she was casually conversing with the young cardinal of the Order of the Land God through the large panel.
No, even though they are from the same jockey, is that possible?
The fact that he became a cardinal at a young age of less than 100 years old means that the family he came from is also great. Given the social structure of Fleur, where the caste system is clearer than that of Rasubitan, I don’t know what it means to be friendly with such a cardinal…….
=Oh, so you don’t want to get along well with our doryung?!=
Like a 50-year-old bad friend, Yurpa looked at Anne with startled eyes again as she shouted after aglowing, then looked back at the silver-haired, green-eyed cardinal who responded with a high voice in the same way.
[Who said no! It is a great welcome even for the main body to have a close relationship with the youngest saint and one who has a high possibility of becoming the next spiritual leader!]
=But what are you talking about so much!=
[I’m sorry for you, bitch! Seeing. I was worried that you would die somewhere, so I thought of you once a week and looked after you, but I haven’t contacted you properly for 5 years…….]
Considering that there are flaws in the beauty of the crystal ball image quality, Anne frowns and pouting her lips as a beautiful woman of the same level as the young ladies cries with tears in her eyes.
Yu Lepa pricked up her ears and looked at Anne with a strange face. I think you just said something about Seonjeup Pilseung?
[Do you really have anything to say to me? You bad bitch.]
= Ugh, I’m sorry. At that time, I really put everything down, so I went around without contacting anyone except for my duties as a Holy Fighter. But after meeting Dolyeong, he came to his senses. It’s not that I didn’t contact you because I didn’t like you, so let go of my anger.
[Sniff.]
=If I get a chance, I’ll introduce you to Dolyeong. This side isn’t as good as it is right now, so I’m a bit busy, so I’ll get better later.
[…… Is it because of her colleague, Isili Terra?]
=Well, that’s right.=
Yurpa nodded his head in agreement with the cardinal’s thinking ability to understand the situation here without needing a separate long explanation.
At that level, it would be possible to become the highest rank in the church.
[I’ll find out about Yeongdo here. If it’s not a big deal, you can use my name, so you decide on your own. Instead, do you have to do an after-action report?]
=Thank you. You know I like you right?=
[Because it means don’t send me a bunch of notes and hang on to me, because I won’t stay still if I just leave a few words and go to sleep this time!]
=Yes~ I love you, my friend.=
[Tit……. I’m busy hang up.]
The communication that started out so violently came to an abrupt end, and Yurpa was about to ask Anne about her past, who smiled shyly and said, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen her, and she’s hysterical.” But she stopped.
No matter what the past was like, now I’m just a friend and colleague who loves a man.
