Chapter 290 – 284 Helumen, City of Heroes
The women of Hwanin immediately set up a one-month schedule to explore the labyrinth and started packing to leave tomorrow.
The preparations are almost ready.
= Master. Can we prepare meals for 3 people for 30 days?=
“Okay. It seems that food can be supplied from inside, so there is no need to pack all 90 days’ supply.”
While Isilite and Yurpa are preparing supplies, Anne reads the information about the tyrant dragon’s labyrinth that Hwanin bought from the Hellumen Fighter Guild.
=The tyrant dragon’s labyrinth is a 7th-level labyrinth, and it is stated that it is an extended labyrinth with a total of seven floors. Each floor is in charge of one layer, and each floor is formed as a very vast cave, and inside is a small nature, where not only heterogeneous species but also small animals live.
The heterogeneous species that appear are of various kinds, and although they are not true dragons, they are sub-dragons, but they are still classified as dragons by default.
Just like the prison labyrinth of the Farghist, where the 4th floor was transformed into a reinforced layer and heteromorphic species up to the 5th level began to appear, the entire labyrinth in the tyrant dragon’s labyrinth is treated as an enhanced layer.
In other words, a class 2 heteromorphic species appears on the 1st floor and a class 5 heterogeneous species appears on the 4th floor.
Since it is a cave-type labyrinth, there are no traps, and the inside is bright like daylight and dark like night at regular intervals.
As a result, the behavior patterns of the heteromorphs also change. They are active during the day, but at night, most of the heteromorphs return to their nests to sleep.
=At this time, it is written that Hyungjong Lee, who was awakened by his will, enters into a state of rage. It’s 30% stronger than normal, so the angry deformed species on the 4th floor must be at level 5.5. Conversely, there are types who sleep during the day and wake up at night. =
=Ah, this is a labyrinth where there is a risk of mind invasion for intelligent bodies.=
= You can take all the Queers with you. Take all the empty subspace bags.=
It refers to a labyrinth that is easy to take along, such as a pack horse, because it is a labyrinth in which the mental invasion only affects those with human-level intelligence.
While checking the information Hwanin purchased, Anne glanced at one item and read it with a puzzled expression.
= Most of the meat from this labyrinth is delicious, but among them, gemt lizard boasts the best taste? What is it, it’s not even a gourmet guide…….=
=Isn’t it really delicious to see that the tin says that gemt lizard meat costs 1 silver coin per kilo?=
= Oh, I don’t know. It will be tasteless.=
=…… ? Miss Anne, have you ever eaten this?=
= I don’t know. Anyway, it won’t taste good. =
Why are you suddenly acting like a child? Yurpa, who was blinded by Anne’s complaint, shed a small exclamation after hearing Hwanin’s explanation.
“It’s because Anne can’t eat her meat anymore. She is like a fox’s grapes.”
=What kind of sour grapes does the fox make?=
Hwanin tells a short story to Anne, who is curious about the idiom she has heard for the first time.
“A hungry fox wandering around looking for food came across her vineyard. However, the grapes were hanging too high to be picked and eaten, and the fox, who could not reach the grapes no matter how hard he tried, gave up and went away grumbling, “Those grapes must be sour grapes anyway!”
=…… Hurts =
=Whoops.=
Isilite and Yurpa could not stand it and burst out laughing at the story Hwanin said with a calm expression.
It is because Anne’s expression was appropriate enough to make me wonder if the expression of the fox in the story was like that.
=Don’t laugh. Don’t laugh.=
Anne vented her anger by pushing Isilite and Yurpa’s buttocks with her blushing face, but the two women only giggled.
Next day.
Hwan-in, who took a day off from having sex with his lovers every day to recover, was able to completely shake off the cold.
The process was difficult for Hwanin to accept, but Isilite said =If you catch a cold, they say that if you have a healthy person next to you, your cold will get better quickly=, and Anne and Yurpa agreed with that opinion.
It was an absurd folk remedy from Hwanin’s point of view, but he couldn’t say anything after seeing the results.
Yurpa, which can catch a cold, was removed, and Isilite and Anneman volunteered to act as a living hearth in their underwear, clinging to Hwanin’s side.
I had many thoughts, but I didn’t reveal my intentions. Anyway, their actions were for their own sake, and anyway, the cold went away and I was able to sleep soundly for the first time in a long time.
“…….”
Most of all, she dreamed of her mother.
The memory of falling asleep in her mother’s arms one day when she was bedridden with a bad cold.
A mother’s arms that were exceptionally warm and cozy, the feeling of being the safest place in the world. The memory had been revived in the arms of lovers.
She is a mother who gave her all her love so that she could live a normal life as a human being.
Hwanin, who was thinking of her mother, felt a faint longing creep in.
The feeling I felt for the first time after coming to this world. And a feeling I’ve never felt before.
I miss my father who taught me things other than what I could learn at school, but today I miss her mother’s smiling face so much that her heart throbs.
‘… I had a separate picture of her parents at that time.’
She took Kang Ha-yeon before going out to blackmail him. She put the picture where she was.
It was a year ago so I can’t remember. At that time, I disassembled the frame and took care of it, and my father’s alloy multi-tool was in my pocket…….
‘I must have put the picture in the suitcase.’
Since the suitcase didn’t trip with him, it must be lying in the back alley.
If a good citizen had found it, he would have brought it to the police station. It’s been a year since it’s been classified as a possession, so it must be stuck somewhere. Or it fell into the hands of thieves.
Hwanin shook his head and even put on his equipment.
While looking at Hwanin, who had recovered and returned to her usual nihilistic appearance from feeling exhausted, Yurpa began whispering to the girls who were packing their luggage.
= Girls. Maybe you mean Could it be because of that that he suddenly became ill?
=That’s it?=
= That? What is it?=
= He hugs us three times every night. No matter how strong your stamina is, it wouldn’t be strange to become a skeleton at that level?=
It is not uncommon for people to be born with extremely strong stamina. Men who seem to have received all the blessings of phase power in their stamina.
Most of those men are furry, big, and have a strong masculine smell. However, Hwanin had a fresh and slightly excited body odor when he was near him, and he had extremely little hair below his eyebrows.
=Doryeong has a phase stone that enhances regeneration. Isn’t that effect? He said he also gets a lot of help from it.=
= Shouldn’t you say that I’m barely maintaining my condition thanks to that? As the ladies know, humans have a basic amount of recovery.=
For example, let’s say that the state of full condition is 100 vitality, and you recover about 40 every day.
Assuming that 10 vitality is consumed during sexual activity, and if the vitality goes down to 40 or less, the physical condition worsens.
=Your vitality won’t be restored by 40 every day. There may be days when your vitality recovery decreases because you are too tired, and it may increase when you get a good night’s sleep or spend time relaxing. You can also increase the amount of recovery through food.=
Anne, who had been quietly listening to the story, said,
= So, what Yul-unni wants to say is that her vitality is maintained at around 50 to 60 thanks to the phase stone that enhances regeneration. You mean it was yesterday?
= Yes. When my physical condition deteriorated and my ability to resist decreased, I ended up catching a cold.
Isilite and Anne nodded with serious faces at the plausible story.
Yurfa doesn’t tell Isilite, fearing she’ll mind her, but he knows that using her hair too much makes her condition worse.
Ever since he left Bija Lux, Hwanin had been thinking about something, so he couldn’t say it didn’t affect him.
In addition, since we had carriages, we made love several times every night when we moved from village to village. If you think about the fact that when there was no wagon, one person came only once a day…….
= It must be because the frequency of sex has increased too much. Before there were wagons, there were opportunities to energize by moving from town to town, but now even that is gone!=
=… The solution is to reduce the number of times you have sex.=
=Since you hug the three of us every day, why don’t we take turns falling for each other?=
When Anne seriously brought out her solution, Yu Lepa raised her hand.
=I will fall.=
= Huh? Why?=
= I’m satisfied with just doing it once a week. Her semen is so dense that she can last for several months even if she only receives it once a week. Before I went to bed, my condition was fine.=
Seeing the older sister say that Hwanin’s condition was deteriorating because she had a stake in it, the two women tried to say no, but shut their mouths at the sound of knocking.
=Yuri sister. I’ll tell you that story again after I’ve been to her labyrinth. =
= Uh It’s not her sister’s fault, it’s her husband’s…… We all have to take responsibility for managing Doryong’s physical condition.
Husband? Was she just trying to say she’s the husband?
When Anne’s slip of the tongue made the atmosphere of the women soft, the door opened and Siha = Saiji strode in wearing a short dress of light forsythia with high activity.
Under the flowing lace skirt, the white straps of the garter belt are revealed whenever the legs move.
= She is Hwanin, she heard that she is preparing to leave the castle. =
“I plan to train in the tyrant dragon’s labyrinth in preparation for the exam in a month.”
Hwanin replied calmly with an expressionless expression that could not read anything.
If it had been like this all of a sudden, Siha = Saiji would have had doubts about the changed attitude, but Hwanin had that expression from yesterday, so he had no doubts.
I just laughed at the thought of getting a young and promising soul master and getting a young female knight with pretty promising qualities.
= Hmm. Certainly, that child’s aura concentration is close to level 5. Not a bad choice.=
The airway she shows when she moves her body proves her unusual quality. If she fails the test due to lack of phase power, it wouldn’t be bad for her to accept her as a disciple because she is good at coaxing herself.
Siha = Saiji, who was slender and stroked her sleek chin and nodded her head, turned around and approached Isilite.
=The Wirt family is in charge of supporting applicants for the Hero Knights entrance exam. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to tell me.=
“I will decline.”
Her Hwanin, who followed her, refused her support instead of Isilite.
Was the answer unexpected, or was it because of the business attitude that Hwanin would feel desolate? Siha = Saiji paused and looked back at him with eyes of surprise.
= Why? In order to explore the labyrinth, human resources as well as material resources are needed. Doesn’t the saint not know that the efficiency of those with and without the support of arms and combat tools makes a negligible difference?=
“I don’t know. However, as the current situation is not normal, we will try to solve it only with the power of the party, excluding elements that can cause gossip.”
Afterwards, Siha = Saiji put on a slightly troubled expression when he said that he did not want to be caught even in the slightest gap.
= You live a very complicated and difficult life even if you take everything you give and make it your own. =
This is a good intention to support.
“I would appreciate it if you could think of it as a way of living among powerful barons with no powerless background.”
=…….=
It’s a pretty significant story. Shiha = Saiji felt that it was her last chance to do something given by her Hwanin, but she dismissed it as her mood because she was a celestial sacred bone she had never experienced before.
= Couldn’t it be said that the lack of support is unfair?=
“Didn’t half of the people at the Wirt family’s family meeting object to giving them a chance?”
= Um…….=
“In addition, rumors are circulating that you will also have a generational change in 5 to 10 years. Even thinking about what happened after that, I can only conclude that accepting support according to your words is a bad idea.”
Siha = Saiji was quite surprised by Hwanin’s discernment and analytical ability, which was like a knife at a roughly thrown story.
It was impossible to have the knowledge and insight to analyze situations to this extent without being educated from a very young age.
Above all, Siha = Saiji smiled, thinking that it was a fresh feeling because it was the first time he had been refuted so bluntly.
=You wield your tongue pretty fiercely, right?=
“I wasn’t feeling well yesterday.”
This is my true self. You understand
=…….=
Siha = Saiji glanced at her Hwanin prettily at the feeling that it was a bit disgusting and fun not to lose a word, and then she said to Isilite.
=Anyway, since your owner says so, I will say no support. Looking forward to your growth in a month. Hwanin, I have something to share with you, so would you mind giving me some time?
“I can’t because I’m thinking of leaving now. If it’s an interview, please put it off until after you’ve been there.”
= What? What do you mean the soul sage follows the combat jobs in her labyrinth? =
“I am the party leader.”
=…… Uh hmm?=
“Yurpa will remain in the castle. Don’t worry, I’m not trying to run away.”
Siha = Saiji was genuinely confused.
The spirit master is classified as a magician-type profession. This is because even if she awakens, her physical abilities will not be strengthened at all.
Of course, the labyrinth, and even less useful in battles on the 3rd floor or lower.
There’s no way a man like him wouldn’t know that. She wouldn’t be forced to hold her comrade’s ankles, so why would she want to follow the labyrinth?
Siha = Saiji read Hwanin’s spirit and prayer again.
I still don’t feel anything special. Rather, the strong presence I felt when I first met her has disappeared.
=… Good night. There must be something unspeakable.=
Originally, in order to reduce the aftermath after Isilite failed the entrance exam, I planned to accompany the saint and introduce him to high-ranking officials in the family to recognize his identity and qualities.
If you can have a good time with him, have it.
But for some reason, I keep thinking that it was an outcast on this side. Besides, there is something about his political sense stabbing me in the back of the neck…….
At first glance, I thought that the conversation we had yesterday might be a problem, but there was no branching of the family from there.
It was difficult for her to come up with the hypothesis that she was being victimized because her political sense was the imperial politics, which consisted of overwhelming status, ability, and money.
However, since she had lived her entire life in politics, she could feel her hunch that maybe she would go through something special that she had never experienced before.
‘I’m curious.’
Siha = Saiji prayed for good luck to Hwanin and her party, who set out for her labyrinth, expecting the incident they would cause in a month.
Anne, who was leaving Wirt Castle and heading towards the west gate, spoke first.
=Hey, Lord Siha. Don’t you think you’re a better person than you thought? Looking at it again, the tone is a bit misleading, but there is no ulterior motive and it seems friendly.
= Yes~. There was no selfishness in Dew’s attempt to take care of the young lady, and it seemed that she was thinking of discussing the situation after she failed her exam when she tried to call her aside.
Anne and Yurpa glanced at the phantom.
Seeing her words of coming to visit her just before her departure, it was hard to see that she had any ill intentions towards her. If it was her self/her daughter, of course she would have noticed…….
Feeling that her girlfriends were glancing at him, Hwan-in said while stroking Bi-sang’s neck.
“There is no need to try to improve the relationship when the problem is not yet resolved. After the problem is resolved, it is not too late to make a decision based on the reaction of the other party. If you look at the lord’s personality, there’s a high possibility that he’ll make another mistake while having a conversation and deepen the problem.”
…… Is it? When I heard it, it seemed like that.
Arriving at the west gate like that, Hwanin looked back at Yurpa who had followed him to see him off.
“Then I will go. We are only staying in the castle at the invitation of the lord, so if there are people who are arguing about your clan or something, memorize their faces and names.”
= Whoops. Are you going to come and punish her? =
“Will it be enough to scold you? Since you touched a non-combat type soul knight, you need to fix it to the extent that you can’t enter the garden of the god, so the exchange rate will be right.”
=…….=
=…….=
=…….=
He laughs and says it as if it were a joke, but why doesn’t it feel like a joke?
Anne smiled at the frozen figure of Yu Lepa and waved her hand.
= Then I will go. Don’t go around getting hit and wait quietly in your room. =
=I’ll be back.=
= Oh, yes. Go carefully~.=
It took about 6 hours after leaving the preface like that.
Thanks to each of them riding on Kue, Kurti, and Kuffin and running tirelessly, the party broke through the distance of a day and a half on foot to reach the labyrinth of the tyrant dragon, and was able to step into a wild labyrinth that was not managed by any city. There was.
