Chapter 285 – 279 Helumen, City of Heroes
Jjorororok-
=This is a green tea brewed by roasting young leaves first picked in the Betan Goji of the Hoklava region.=
= Oh…… Contrary to what I was used to, the scent is very strong. The color is also bright. Is it because it’s just one tea leaf?
=Yes. Roasting the tea leaves in a cast iron pan that has been tamed with Kdiptic oil gives the tea a more savory and deeper taste. One of the few teas the owner enjoys.=
= Uhm~. As you said, the deeply brewed taste is very impressive.=
Returning to the guest room with the daughter of Farhist, Hwanin drank the green tea given by Isilite and stared at Lutia = Aslid = Farhist, who smiled softly.
If it were her second daughter, she would be older than Jonah = Aslid, but rather her looks while looking younger than her.
Her hair looked fluffy and soft like the clouds in the summer sky, and her slightly drooping eyes, thin eyebrows as if drawn, and her detailed features were straight as if she had grown precious.
A light but fluffy pink man-to-man with a warm brown polar tee and a scratch patterned H skirt that goes down below the knee.
It’s not aristocratic, it’s more like a girlfriend’s Cody who came out to play.
Seeing that she has a frank and sensitive conversation with Isilite, she seems to have a good personality.
However, she is not just an innocent and kind girl from a noble house. She is smart but not cunning, obedient but not submissive.
= Eh! The moderately sweet red bean paste melts with the rich taste of green tea. Where did you order this snack from? I want to use it too!=
=It’s a dessert the owner enjoys, so I made it myself.=
= Oh…. Then it’s not for sale…….=
Lutia = Aslid, who is really sorry and eats the bite-sized red bean paste.
As soon as her Hwanin shared her voice with her in her drawing room, her listeners remembered her words.
=My father told me to try to have a close relationship with the saint. Actually, the reason I met the saint here in Helumen was my father…….=
It is a fantasy that prefers to get straight to the point rather than dragging the story along as a saddam, but Lutia = Aslid has surpassed that level.
If you are sensitive to manners, it is a level that can be unpleasant.
Hwanin naturally asked a question at the timing when her conversation was cut off as Lutia = Aslead put her last remaining dessert in her mouth and savored it.
“Lady Lutia Aslid Farhist. I understand that the reason the lady sought me was the will of the Farghist castle lord. But would you mind telling me what it means? If you’re a Farghist Seongju I think, you probably don’t want that kind of intention revealed.”
= Yes. If I go back, I think I will be scolded by my father.=
Hwanin muttered inwardly as he answered with a smile. Even if she says something that offends others, it’s a speech that she uses as a build-up to make it a bigger favor.
Hwanin asked politely, anticipating her answer.
“Then why?”
=I thought that if I hid my true feelings and approached the saint, he would be uncomfortable or hate me.=
“I might feel rejected at the point of revealing the reason.”
= But…… I thought that if I didn’t approach him honestly, the Holy Son would push me away.
At the same time, she puts her hands together and wriggles them cutely while glancing at Hwanin. It is so pure that any man would mutter ‘cute’ in a low voice.
= I…… I wanted to get closer to the saint who rescued Jonah’s soul from that dark labyrinth and sent it up to heaven, and to the saint as a person-to-person, not as someone else’s instructions or orders.
Not my father’s order, but my will, my wish. Lutia added as if looking at the Hwanin’s eyes = I didn’t feel any pretense or embellishment from Aslid.
Hwanin thought that she was also a clever woman.
That’s what it says. It wasn’t Hwanin who couldn’t notice the intentions of people approaching him with different intentions, and if Lutia = Aslid hadn’t revealed her insides in the end, Hwanin would have dealt with Lutia = Aslid with a sense of distance that never narrowed.
With that smart and quick notice, he must be unconsciously thinking and acting on what kind of personality the other person is and what he likes and dislikes.
According to her manners, Lutia = Aslid, who got up from her seat, lifted the hem of her dress slightly and bowed her respectfully, bending her knees.
= Although it was late, I thank her brothers and sisters for being able to bury her brother in the family grave and for showing the mercy of the Holy Buddha so that her brother can safely enter the garden of God. =
“In regards to greetings and thanks, I received an overflow from the Lord of Fenri Castle. And since you did what you had to do, it is burdensome to hold a ceremony beyond this. I want you to be comfortable.”
=Yes, saint.=
Hwanin read the intentions of the lord of the castle of Fenri while chatting with Lutia = Aslid, who did not sense even a handful of malice or bad intentions.
= Actually, she was a little nervous before meeting the saint. What if she’s a scary person, I also had fears. However, the saint I met in person was, to say the least, very different from what I had imagined…….=
“Does it look strange?”
= Oh. Not like that! Be cool! You’re cool, but in terms of the story, it was the image of a Fleur man, right? But seeing it in person is completely different!
“I have an exotic look.”
Hehe. I thought so too.=
Lutia smiling bashfully = Aslid’s eyes are dripping with goodwill and good feelings.
Looking at it, the Farghist castle lord is trying to use a simple but effective tactic that has been with human history.
‘Beauty world.’
Not particularly surprising. I counted the possible things that would happen when I received the certificate, and among them, beauty reports were among the most likely items.
However, in terms of personality, appearance, intelligence, and wisdom, I didn’t think that the castle owner’s intentions would be so strong that he would send a child who would be a considerable blue-chip owner even among the powerful family.
‘I might have been a little complacent.’
Hwanin exchanged stories with Lutia = Aslid, thinking about how far this category of beauty could go.
There are many types of beauty world. From spy-type beauties for the purpose of leaking ordinary information, to companion-type beauties who make connections in the nearest place through arranged marriages and captivate the target.
In addition, seeing that he came on the day he arrived at Helumen, it means that he had read the schedule and travel route here.
If it’s enough to communicate through an expensive crystal ball, the latter must have more weight than the former.
=The thing that surprised me the most after coming to Helumen was the cold and the cold, white cotton that fell from the sky. It was so cold that my fingertips turned red in no time.
“Farkhist is a place that is mild or hot all year round. It seems that the lady has not traveled much to the south or the north.”
= Yes. It’s embarrassing that I spent all my time in the castle reading books, so I never imagined that the snow would be this cold and the winter would be so cold. Wasn’t Hwanin cold? I think it would be very cold in that outfit.=
“The cloak blocks cold air, so this much cold is fine.”
It must have been about 10 minutes since we had a small chat while refilling the tea. Although she has a gentle face, a 5th-class anthropomorphic escort woman pretends to be familiar and cautiously approaches and whispers in Lutia = Aslid’s ear.
= Lady. It’s too late.=
=Already?=
Lutia = Aslied’s expression was filled with regret and a little embarrassment.
Hwanin, who read that there was a purpose originally, but was unable to achieve it due to time problems, stood up from his seat and smiled a little.
“I’ve been rudely holding Miss Lutia Aslid for a long time.”
= Oh, no. It’s because I’m late to see you.=
“Is that so? Then let’s do something like that.”
Did you like these jokes? Ruthia = Aslied laughs as she lightly covers her mouth with her hand.
Lutia with her smile = Hwanin, who held out her hand to Aslid, took her hand and escorted her to the outside of the hotel, announcing her own plans.
= Oh…… Are you leaving Helumen soon?=
Hwan-in answers the person who reads her newsletter while sitting on the sofa in the lobby.
“I looked around Helumen for a while, and it was a clean and spiritually clean city with few wandering souls. It is proof that the lord of Helumen is wise and a great monarch who cares for the common people.”
= Yes. Lord Wirt is also a noble and outstanding monarch who cares about the citizens.=
To Lutia = Aslid, who nodded as if she agreed with her, Hwanin deliberately looked outside the hotel where the sun was setting and the darkness was over.
“With this level of spirit concentration, there would be no reason to go on a spiritual pilgrimage and sexual misfortune. Even fish cannot live in water that is too clear and clean. So, as long as there are no special problems, I plan to stay for about two days and then depart for Praber.”
To do so, when she said that she had also gathered information on the location of villages and villages in her post office, Lutia = Aslied listened to her story with a small smile on her lips, and she was slightly shy and twisted her fingers.
The gesture that you have something to say. As Hwanin took a step closer, Lutia = Asleed also showed her courage, standing on tiptoe in a half-embracing position with Hwanin and whispering in his ear.
=Farhist and Father are preparing various ways to help Hwanin when he is in trouble.=
“…….”
=Don’t forget us and the token….=
Then he took three steps back and asked with a slightly reddened face.
= Eh……. It’s really embarrassing to ask you such a favor, but I would be very happy if I could have a meal with the saint. Possible… Should?=
“Since I owe a great deal to the Lord of the Farghist Castle, it is difficult for me to refuse the young lady’s request.”
When Hwanin kissed the back of Lutia=Aslid’s hand with a small eye smile, she pushed her lips together with her red face showing a slightly fresh look.
=Really, Hwanin-nim is a mischievous person unlike his calm appearance! See you next time!=
Lutia = Aslid, who greeted her with a skirt, left her eye smile until the end and left in her carriage with the escort knight.
As soon as the carriage she rode turned the corner and disappeared, Hwanin, who erased the expression from her face, entered the hotel lobby and briefly stared at the man whose face was still buried in the newsletter. Looked down
‘Sense expansion and presence detection are very useful for monitoring and detecting the surroundings.’
Hwanin also bowed slightly to him and returned to the room.
Hwanin, who was buried on the soft sofa, let out a short sigh and looked up blankly at the colorfully patterned ceiling for a moment.
‘…… Wherever people live is the same.’
Power struggles and securing, procrastination for power and expansion of blood ties, unnecessary, meaningless and exaggerated actions to adorn oneself.
Are these all things in common with a certain intelligence?
No, it would be difficult to see it as all living things. It would be correct to say that it is the homogeneity of living beings with similar intellect and body structure.
“…….”
When he realized that what he had been sick of doing for self-preservation in Korea was similarly unfolding here in Nionebreth, the color of emotions that had awakened little by little became a hwanin who felt like dying again.
No, it’s just because I’m tired.
Hwanin sighed again at the sudden feeling of boredom and called Issilite out of the kitchen.
“Isilite, come here.”
= Oh. Master, you are here early.=
“I only came to see you off to the entrance.”
As she spreads her arms toward her close friend, Issilite, blushing, falls into her arms.
Adding to her exaggeration, she wrapped her arms around her thin waist, enough to wrap her hands around her, and buried her nose in the nape of her neck.
The warm body temperature is gradually transmitted from the tickling gesture, and the body odor resembling the scent of an unknown flower relaxes his mind.
In fact, most of the series of events that were taking place did not match Hwanin’s tendency.
It was because he preferred a life of quiet solitude in a place where there were no people, rather than a way of life where he was mixed up with other people.
However, I had three understanding people who I thought would never arise in my lifetime, and I had a goal that I had to do.
I’m working my way through the process for my goal, but it’s definitely tiring to live among humans.
“…….”
Why does it remind me of escaping from a forest type 6 labyrinth?
A seagull as big as a fighter jet, a bipedal rabbit as big as a grizzly bear, a six-legged deer as big as a giraffe, a white and blue flame tiger as big as an elephant, and a turtle as big as a small mountain.
A dangerous place where battles are always taking place, filled with creatures that are literally mysterious and hostile creatures that are not.
Rather, he is a Hwanin who thinks that those days were comfortable and fun.
In her arms, she hugs Isilite a little tighter, who also smells her own body odor.
Isilite, who was held in Hwanin’s arms in a half-leaning manner, seemed to be tired for some reason, so she knelt down and hugged Hwanin’s face to her chest.
‘My master likes breasts, so this will relieve his fatigue a little.’
Hwanin, who buried his face in her large breastbone, sighed in satisfaction at the feeling of his mental fatigue being relieved, as if he were receiving a facial massage from a professional masseuse.
She said, ‘Even if she isn’t having fun, she has no choice but to do it. To find a way back to Earth, you need the recognition, prestige, and power to negotiate with the Tribal Alliance. Even to protect her girlfriends.’
The situation would have been different if she had been a normal warrior, fighter, or magician rather than a spiritist or necromancer, but her assumption is meaningless.
Hwanin, who enjoyed Isilite’s voluptuous breasts with her face, lowered her hands and opened her mouth while massaging her ass, which was her 100th point.
“Anyway, Anne and Yurpa are late. I thought she’d be back before us.”
= Shall we prepare a meal for you when you arrive? =
“No. If the two of you come over, we’ll have room service. Shouldn’t you also have time to rest?”
When she tells her that tasting her new dish will help her improve her culinary skills, Isilite smiles naturally from her heart and holds her fan’s head to her chest.
It was then that Anne and Yurpa returned.
Jump.
=We are here!=
=Sorry for being late~.=
Both of their hands were full of luggage as they opened the room door hard and entered.
“Okay. Are you late for shopping?”
= No, no. I went to the upper part of the ear crad instead of shopping. Well, I heard that Weisha Haeng-soo, whom I met near Visalux, was an injured single owner at the top of the ear crad?=
= He said that he made a great profit as a planeswalker, so why don’t you give him a gift? I received them and said that the necessary items from the above items are provided at a 0% margin rate, so I was late to buy the things I needed for the trip.=
Her Hwanin let go, so Isilite, who came out of his arms, approached Yurpa and asked as she took her luggage in her arms.
=Why did you buy so many?=
= It is a material needed to make magic tools. It was a normal use, and the quality was good like a big city guild, so I just bought them all. Honey, I spent 44 gold coins this time…….=
“It’s a work-related expense, so that’s fine.”
=Yes, here!=
As if waiting, the note presented contained a large amount of raw gemstones for making jewel powder, as well as a large number of rare metal ingots, metal plates, and 1st and 2nd class phase stones.
In terms of volume, rough gemstones the size of a fist accounted for most of the weight, while metal plates, metal ingots, and valuable topological stones accounted for the most weight.
Hwanin, who was reading the items written on the note, suddenly noticed that there was nothing he should have and remembered that there was none before.
“Yurpa. Are there any supplementary tools needed for crafting? If you made hundreds of magic tools, the amount of consumed tools must be considerable.”
=I make and use the tools I use, so I don’t have to spend extra money~.=
Hwanin, who nodded his head, took out 50 gold coins from his money pocket and gave them to Yurpa.
It used up 1/6 of the party’s funds at once, but even if you spent 44 gold coins, it’s Yurupa who will spend time and get back several times the gold coins.
She was the one who earned 82 gold coins for the material cost of the 19 gold pot.
= Huh? Honey, you have 6 more gold coins?=
“It is an operating cost. Use it when there is something else to spend besides material costs. I’m sorry I couldn’t take care of you beforehand.”
= Eh~?! No no no Ehehehe, thank you~.=
Yu Lepa smilesheheand walks next to her and crosses her arms. She peers into her face, and the otherwise white face now turns white enough to blur her features.
Hwanin approached Isilite and Anne, who smiled softly, kissed her on the cheek, and examined what was inside her gift box.
= Oh, Dew. Isn’t this lupine fruit?=
=… It’s real. Each grain would cost more than one silver coin, but each basket……. Besides this, there are many more expensive foods. There is also 100g of Prandin’s finest black tea, and this… Rice of Hisrond? This is also one silver coin per kg.=
=Wow, Dew, look at this. These are all dresses. As for measurements, there are me, you, and Yul’s unnie’s…… Oh, and underwear too. Are these boots and shoes made of vampire material?=
=Anne, the packaging is high quality, so you’re saying you got all of these as gifts?=
= Yes. Fearing that me and my sister would be entertained, she tried to refuse, but she said that in the state capital, she put a bounty of 10 gold coins on the neck of the planeswalker.
In addition, it was said that there were not a few gratuities and reciprocations from the noble and noble families who were burned by the Planeswalker group, saying that they had avenged their enemies instead.
It was a story that he exchanged it for an item of equal value and received all of the capital’s bounties.
= Ms. Weisha said that she was satisfied with selling the corpse of a planeswalker and gaining some of the fame, but she begged me to take it, saying that if they ate it, they would get very sick. Even so, she said that she was going to entrust all of these to the courier association and ask them to deliver them to us. =
Hwanin roughly noticed the situation.
They were the ones who caught the Planeswalkers, the chief vampires, and their hordes. If the bounties, rewards, and sponsorships were snuffed out, it could be known that the guild members tried to steal the achievements of the saint’s party.
When that happens, it’s literally a crossover.
Hwanin received a pouch containing 10 gold coins from Yurupa and asked.
“I decided to deliver a letter of thanks to Earclad Sangdanju, and what happened to my departure?”
= Oh, that. I was given permission to use the cardinal’s name as long as it wasn’t a case where the Wirt family and the Church of the Land Gods would collide head-on. As for the upper part of the ear clad, Seul didn’t know anything about the name, so he just didn’t say anything.
“The top side did well. But he didn’t expect that the church would give such a benefit…… Could it be that cardinal that Anne is an acquaintance of yours?”
= Yes. Let’s say Leawen.=
“I’ll have to send a thank you letter over there as well.”
He is a Hwanin who has learned the approximate power structure of the continents in this world while traveling.
The influence of one of the five cardinals of the main body of the Order of the Land God is equal to that of the Pope of Vatican City on Earth. Being able to write that name…….
‘Is this a personal connection?’
It’s a powerful hand, so I can’t use it carelessly, but just having it has a feeling that the annoyance is reduced to a large extent.
Hwanin said that she did well and patted Anne’s head.
