Chapter 287 – 281 Helumen, City of Heroes
All of his women, including Hwanin, wore gray hooded cloaks and rode them to Que as they moved down the main street. Most of the people walking on the road, the passengers in the carriage, and the coachman all began to pay attention to the party.
Half of them are intelligent and realize their identity from the characteristics of Hwanin and the others, while the other half stare at them with something on their skin and their hearts pounding.
“Whoa….”
As Hwanin lowered his head and let out a short breath, he looked back and cried as if he was worried about Bi-sang. At that sound, Yurpa joined Hwanin’s side and said.
= Honey, tell me if it’s hard. There are more painkillers, so I’ll prescribe them.=
“I’m fine now. If you feel like you can’t stand it, I’ll ask you then.”
=Yes.=
Anne, who was following her behind, heard the conversation and wanted to ask Hwanin if it was okay for her to visit her like this or if he had any plans.
However, I can’t help but say that I’m afraid that just sitting on the back of the emergency room seems difficult, and I’m afraid that useless questions will make it even harder.
‘Yuri unnie didn’t even talk to me and she quickly went back…….’
Thinking about it made me a little angry. If she’s sick, you can go after she gets better, but her fever has gone down and her headache has subsided.
‘Uh~. My body should start to become a tree soon.’
She didn’t say it because she was shy, but when arborealization progresses and your body starts to produce essence, you can live a healthy life without getting sick if you drink it steadily.
The reason why it is embarrassing is because the essence is water made by the body.
In the first place, Fleurs are a race that hardly ever burns. Even if she goes around without washing for days and days without washing her hair, her hair doesn’t get tangled, and her body doesn’t get dog fat.
They are a clean species that digest 100% of what they eat when they are in good shape, but making them drink bodily fluids means…….
Hmmm.
Anne cleared her throat and changed the subject of her thoughts.
Anyway, Doryung’s intelligence is really amazing. She only hears that Seuli is sitting in the living room all the time trying to do something, and she notices it. It must be because she is a genius that she shows this amount of brain rotation even when her head hurts, right?
Anne again wondered what Hwanin was thinking, but Hwanin was not thinking about anything else because her head was heavy.
I’m just looking at the splendid streets similar to modern British cities that I’ve only seen in pictures.
Wirt Castle, the giant castle that arrived along the uphill road, had no moat, drawbridge, or gate.
There were just four knights in full-body plate armor standing guard in the middle of the empty castle wall.
No matter how much it is the entrance to the mainland, the quality of the troops to send knights to guard duty is at a level that surpasses that farhist.
It is said that there are three level 8 jobs at this point, so it really deserves to be called the city of heroes.
As Hwanin approached the entrance of the castle and looked at them, the knights were slightly nervous watching the Hwanin party.
The knights who had finished their lunch shift were on alert as usual.
However, unlike the crowded streets, four people approaching the street in front of the castle, where not a single dog roams around, attracting the attention of passers-by.
They were wearing gray hooded capes as if they were matched, and three out of four were level 4 or higher. Until he rode Que there.
As for the atmosphere, it feels like a top-notch, first-class adventurer’s party beyond the upper class…….
‘… That’s not it!!’
Apparently, the report came in yesterday. It means that the green saint of Bijalux has arrived.
Guildre, a low-ranking knight who led the lunch guard duty, noticed the identity of the approaching party and said to his fellow knight, feeling goose bumps on the back of his neck.
=Kwan. Hey Kwan.=
=… Uh?=
= Did you hear the story this morning? Those are the Green Saint of Visalux and his companions. Go into the guard post building and put a contact inside.=
= I didn’t expect it, but it was like that. Come and go =
A fellow knight went into a building hidden behind the castle wall to report, and the eyes of the remaining knights naturally turned to Muhuigwang, who rode the green Que at the top.
‘A presence that makes your skin tingle even though it’s more than 30 meters away.’
The bare skin exposed by the intense presence is tingling.
This feeling of stiffening his face was similar to standing in front of the leader of the Heroic Knights, the pride of Helumen and the best knights, or the elders of the Elders’ Council, a gathering of past leaders.
Only at that level can you be called a saint, and your reputation can spread so quickly.
In fact, Hwanin’s true nature, which was outwardly flowing because of his poor physical condition and bad mood, was similar to living, but these articles misunderstood Hwanin’s existence because of his name value.
=For those approaching, please stop for a moment.=
According to etiquette and work rules, Gildre stood in front of the Hwanin party and said. Then, watching the saint and his party descending from Que, I admired a little inwardly.
I was just talking to him, but he got off the mount. It’s easy to get annoyed by not getting off the carriage even if you’re a high-ranking person, or if you’re high-status, you’ll get in the way.
=This is Guildre, the person in charge of afternoon duty at Seongmun. Could you tell us the names and identities of the visitors, and the purpose of the visit?=
Hwanin answered the knight with the head of a bird of prey approaching politely, lowering his head slightly and taking off his hood.
“My name is Hwanin, a pilgrim who guides lost souls to the garden. These are my lovers and colleagues, Isilite, Anne, and Yurpa.”
The moment Isilite’s name came out, Guildre’s black, round eyes blinked, and then, struck by a very thick and gentle wave of tranquility, he slightly opened his beak, which was yellow but had a black tip.
With one hand, on top of that, such a dense wave…….
Hwanin, who showed a wave of tranquility as proof of identity, continued his words.
“The purpose of my visit is to meet Siha Saiji Wirt, the lord of Helumen and head of the Wirt family.”
Gildre, who was slightly opening his beak, realized his ugliness and hurriedly closed his beak and cleared his throat.
= Excuse me. Did you make an appointment with the head of household?=
“I couldn’t.”
=I’m sorry, but the head of household is busy with construction, so it seems difficult to see him without an appointment. If you leave the place where you are staying in the guestbook, we will forward it to you and take action so that you can receive a reply soon.=
So, I politely ask you to stop today.
“Looks like I have to ask you a difficult favor.”
=Yes…… ?=
“I will not be able to go back without shame until I see the head of the household. I will continue to wait here, so please let me know if you get in touch.”
=Ah.=
Guildre and the other two knights were quite taken aback.
I’m sure you understood the story of wanting to go back, but you’re waiting here. It would be a real big deal if the fact that they did not enter the castle and treat the spirit master, who is called a saint among the seniors, but set it up on the street.
‘Besides, the spirit master’s complexion and voice don’t look good, he seems unwell.’
Gildre, who became serious, shared his thoughts with his colleagues through the eyes, asked to wait for a while, and headed to the guard post.
Just in time, Kwan, whom I sent in to contact, is out and calls.
=Quan.=
= Uh Is the spirit master dead?=
= No. He says he will wait on the road until the family lord meets him.=
= What? Crazy, so you just parked it outside?=
= It depends on what you heard. Tell me what you said inside.=
=The lady-in-waiting said to politely take her inside if she didn’t die. Let’s go.=
It can’t be tens of thousands of luck. Guildre gave instructions to Kwan with a happy face.
=No, you contacted me again and told me first that the spirit master’s condition is not good. His voice cracked a little and his complexion was not good. He said he also showed signs of cold sweat. It seems that the lady-in-law needs to take care of her.=
= Hey, Mr. Is that the only thing that worries me?=
=Shut up and go.=
Guildre immediately turned and left, and she could see the group of spirits retreating to one side of the wall, as if she really meant to wait outside in the cold.
Perhaps it wasn’t just him who was horrified inside, ‘Did you call me to take you inside? Tell me you’re here!’ He nods to his colleagues who shout with eyes and approaches Hwanin.
= Saint. I received a call from the castle to politely serve me inside. Let me guide you.=
“Thank you. And please, Sir Guildre.”
= Say nothing. This is our duty.=
Hwanin thought that the exterior of Wirt Castle resembled the royal house of the Prussian royal family, which comes to mind when thinking of German castles.
It only resembles them, but the scale and size are nearly twice as large, and the interior is also full of elegant splendor in maroon tones reminiscent of European royal houses.
While taking a closer look at the interior of the castle, where splendid yet restrained, dignified and refreshing feelings coexist, Hwanin stopped his thoughts.
Only one unit can reveal the owner’s personality through the interior. The castle of long history, which must have been passed down through dozens of generations, would not have the current owner’s intentions added to it.
Because the longer the history of a family, the more people are buried in it.
=You can wait here.=
The reception room, which was guided by a neatly dressed maid, was spacious and warm.
Firewood was burning in a large fireplace installed on one wall, but smoke filled the large room with a medieval French interior.
He said that the basic knowledge of a rich man is a waste to smoke a fireplace while maintaining warmth with magic tools.
As soon as her handmaid leaves and Hwanin, who is left in the living room with her girlfriends, stumbles a little and steps on her, Isilite and Anne startle and support her next to her.
“Sorry.”
= Hey. I’m not talking like that. Come on sit down, come on.=
Hwanin sat down on a nearby armchair with support and stretched his body.
It feels like your body is melting with the sofa. It’s been a long time since I felt this kind of fatigue, so I felt new.
When was the last time you felt this fatigue? It was the day after I went out for a bivouac in the middle of winter believing in the clear weather of the Korea Meteorological Administration and spent the night in a snowstorm.
= Master…….=
The girlfriends who were hanging around gathered around looked at her with worried eyes.
Among them, Hwan-in, who smiled at Isilite, who worried about her with her most sullen face, took out and touched the orb that she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“If anyone sees it, they’ll know you’re here to die.”
=But I’ve never seen my master look so tired…….=
“I’m sure I’ve never been this tired since my awakening. It’s been a long time since I’ve been tired, so I’m glad to see you, so don’t worry about it.”
I tried filling up my original energy through salvation, but it stopped after recovering for a while. It feels like the stretched and broken condition has reduced it to the upper limit of vigor.
Hwanin said to her girlfriends who were still hanging around him.
“I don’t know who will come, but until then, relax and rest. Especially Issilite.”
=Doryeong thinks that Wirt’s family head will make Seuli do something?=
“In the current situation, nothing can be concluded. Anyway, you might have to wait a long time, so take care of yourself.”
Hwanin puts his orange shiny orb in and pulls out a bloody phase stone, holding it, puts his head on his headrest and closes his eyes.
It was unknown whether the head of the Wirt family would come or the representative of the head of the family would come, but at least it was his intention to conserve stamina for that time.
How long had it been since I closed my eyes and focused on recovering my body with the effects of the Blood Phase Stone and mental concentration?
Smart smart
At the door that opened with a knock, a gentle brown goat haired man entered with three maids wearing white hoods on their heads.
A goat-haired man in a white coat entered the drawing room and then approached Hwanin exactly and bent his waist with both hands together.
=Hello, Green Saint. I am Tolbald Cureunz, the resident physician of Wirt Castle and the head physician of the family. It’s an honor to meet you.=
“… Excuse me for sitting down. It is said that Hwanin is a pilgrim of the Hongil.”
As I was about to get up with my stamina slightly restored thanks to the blood-colored phase stone, Tolbalde = Cure Wounds approached me with a smile and lightly pressed Hwanin’s shoulder.
= It’s okay if you don’t wake up. I came to check on the saint’s illness by order of the lord. Excuse me for a moment.=
Then, after taking the pulse of Hwanin’s wrist, checking his eyes, complexion, and whether or not he was sweating, he asked.
=Uhm, as reported by the driver at the entrance, it’s a symptom of stamina damage caused by a cold. It was around this morning when my energy went down in earnest. However, it seems that the physical condition is already recovering.=
“Among her companions and lovers is a pharmacist. She is thanks to the care of her lovers.”
As he looked at Yurpa who had come near him and spoke, the resident doctor expressed his courtesy to Yurpa with great admiration.
= You have a good understanding of medicine as well as secret arts. It seems that you mixed dried meir leaf powder, which is effective for pain relief, with purified recovery potion in the amount of 7.8:2.2, is that correct?=
=As Mr. Cure Wounds said, I made a painkiller by referring to the Flenne method.=
=Meh, there is no medicine for a cold. Do you have any thoughts on future prescriptions? … ?=
Tolvalde, as if acknowledging that the healing of her ill-wishers was her domain, decided on an auxiliary prescription for her while talking with Yurpa. He has created a potion of rejuvenation.
Tolvalde calmly explains to the Hwanin who took the small brown pill.
=There is no better treatment than enough rest to recover from a cold. If you have the Holy Son’s mental strength, you should be able to live a daily life, but as a doctor, I don’t recommend getting out of bed for quick recovery.
She said, “She said that if she wanted to get well soon, she had to rest, but there was something she couldn’t put off, and she was forced to move. I’m ashamed of being a nuisance to Cure Wounds-nim and Family Lord Wirt.”
= Meh. This old man’s intervention, but all diseases start with a mild cold. Keep that in mind and hopefully take care of yourself. I’m going to go now, so if you feel worse, please call me through those ladies.=
“Yes. Take a look.”
Hwanin looked at Yu Lepa, who had followed her to the door, and Tolwalde, who continued her conversation, then turned her head and looked outside where her eyes began to fall again.
‘The fact that Seongju personally sent a doctor with a last name…….’
Hwanin, who was habitually analyzing the situation, shook her head slightly, brushed the thoughts out of her head, and started meditating without thinking.
= Oh…… It’s hard to sit still and wait…….=
After about three hours, Anne, who had been sitting still, got up from her seat and began to loosen her stiff joints little by little.
Hwanin came down from his armchair an hour ago and sits in an ordinary chair to train his concentration, and Issilite is also meditating nearby with Hwanin.
Yurpa took out a book a little bigger than his palm and read it quietly.
The conversation between them was about two words an hour. It’s a pretty painful situation for Anne, the active side of her personality.
Issilite, hearing Anne’s self-talk, opens her eyes and apologizes.
=Sorry.=
= If you’re sorry, tofu hotpot ‘do it’.=
Anne, who has stopped eating meat, requires a cumbersome combination of seasonings and a special sauce that requires a lot of effort to properly flavor the hot pot with only her vegetables.
However, it is a food that is not too difficult to make to receive it in place of an apple.
Isilite smiled a little when she read Anne’s consideration, and it was at that time that her Hwanin opened her eyes.
“Come.”
Click.
The door opened and a tall woman similar to Hwanin entered with confident and straight steps.
Hwanin’s women felt the illusion that the room would become brighter in her position.
A light pink wave perm that shines brightly, white fox ears stand up above it, and a pure white shoulder cape gently flows down one shoulder.
She wears pearl-colored shiny leather boots that reach up to her thighs, and over them a pleated skirt of gray lace on a white ground flutters with four tails as white as her ears.
The outfit, wearing a trendy gray suit vest with all kinds of luxurious decorations, harmonizes with the look, exuding elegance and wealth at the same time.
She is a great beauty with a mature and strong impression, completely different from Isilite, who is innocent, and Anne, who is innocent + lively.
Hwanin’s women, who easily realized the identity of the woman who entered without knocking, got up from their seats, and Hwanin also quietly got up from his seat.
=I thought you would come after a few days of leisure, but you came earlier than expected?=
As she said that, Rosalind pearl-colored lightning flashed periodically on her body.
The shape of the changed aura, characteristic of those who have achieved the 2nd awakening at level 7 or higher.
Her Hwanin put a hand on one of her breasts with her nonchalant face and bowed her head just enough to not violate her manners.
“If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have even visited. She is a phantom on pilgrimage along the soul path. This is Isilite, Anne, and Yurpa in turn. A precious lover and a companion on the journey.”
=I am Siha Saiji Wirt, the lord of Helumen and the head of the Wirt family. It’s an honor to see the green saint of Bijalux, which has been making a name for itself recently.=
Siha = Saiji = Wirt first reached out his hand and asked for a handshake, and Hwanin also reached out and shook hands without emotion.
Siha = Saiji looked over Hwanin and Isilite with a scrutinizing gaze and said with a grin.
= It’s unexpected. And it’s fun. Let’s move to my room and talk.=
Siha=Saiji swept her light pink hair that flowed like fine threads behind her shoulder and immediately turned around and left her drawing room.
“…….”
=…….=
Hwanin silently followed him, and his women, who looked at him for a moment, hurriedly followed.
