Chapter 345 – 339 2nd Entry to the Labyrinth of the Spawning Pond
For balance, Hwanin-Uti was the first shift, Anne-Romdis was the middle shift, and Isilite-Rektal was the Malvern shift.
Ciela was grateful and sorry for being left out of the night watch to recover her phase power, but that disappeared as soon as she lay down with a blanket wrapped around her body.
As soon as I lay down, I fell asleep as if I passed out.
=… No, you must have been very tired.=
Having said that, Romdis also lay down next to her lover, Ciela, and covered her with her wings, and then she quickly fell asleep. Sit down and fall asleep
As Isilite and Anne also fell asleep quietly with their weapons beside them, the camp became quiet in an instant, and silence covered the camp.
Gurreuk- Gurreuk-
Sseureuk- sssss-
On the first night of the labyrinth, you can hear the cries of frogs and bugs somewhere.
Uti was worried about what to do if he was attacked while sleeping, but the first night of the exploration went well enough to put such worries to shame.
The flow of exploration on the second day was similar to that of the first day.
Romdis and Rektal take turns pulling the wagon loaded with rescued women and guarding the wagon.
Whenever a heteromorphic species appears next to Hwanin, Siela detects the victim with her vitality detection spell.
Uti waits around the wagon, and when a victim is detected by the spawning pond, she digs into the spawning pond with an emergency. After each battle, she approaches Isilite and Anne and rinses their armor of the blood and flesh of the xenomorphs with water.
What is not similar is that the battle was more intense than the first day.
“Today, we plan to conduct a forced march that cannot be compared to yesterday. Mr. Romdis and his party, please follow us slowly from behind.”
To the extent that the warning felt kind, Hwanin participated in the battle in earnest, met Hyungjong Lee, and when the battle broke out, he gave his girlfriend and Bisang a low-level spirit command, then flew up in the emergency and drove all the other Hyungjong around.
And he literally slaughtered Hyungjong Lee by shooting soul arrows and soul explosions from the sky.
On the ground, Isilite, who wields a greatsword of light and a greatsword of iron in her hands, wields it like a storm, and in the sky, Hwanin, who rides a flight and rains invisible arrows with the wind.
Thanks to two powerful dealers, more than 100 heterogeneous species came in, but the heterogeneous species, caught in temporary confusion due to the wave of tranquility, were swept away without even resisting properly.
Romdis and the others shuddered.
Is that the real skill of a 6th grade party? No, it’s safe to say that it’s already a hero-level party.
In particular, the saint, riding on a green que and causing invisible arrows and explosions in the sky, was literally the archer of the sky.
Every time he wielded the finely crafted stick-shaped staff, two or more xenomorph heads were blown away, and every time he raised his hand and shook it, an invisible explosion occurred and swallowed five or six xenomorphs.
=This, is this the sincerity of the saint’s party…….=
The courageous spirit and fighting spirit felt on the first day has long since disappeared.
Right now, I’m just hanging around in the back so as not to disturb them.
Thanks to such a battle, Hwanin and his party were able to clean up part of 10 football field-sized spawning ponds, 1 large lake-level spawning pond, 2 small lake-level spawning ponds, and 2 large spawning ponds by the end of the second day. We were able to rescue 10 more people.
When the second day of camp began, the group expressed their concern as they saw 19 women lying dead side by side in the wagon.
= People still can’t come to their senses…….=
= Mr. Those who saved early have not eaten anything for over a day. Will it be okay?=
=Uti is feeding you water. According to Do-ryeong, a person can survive for 4 days just by drinking water, so you should still be fine.=
Siela and Uti thought that if the Holy Son said so, it must be true and moved on.
However, there was a good reason for such an explanation.
It was judged that since the eggs and the monster’s offspring that the toad monster fed were in its stomach, it would be able to survive for three or three days as long as it was supplied with water.
Hwanin clapped his hands, drew everyone’s attention, and talked about tomorrow’s schedule.
“It is not possible to take care of women here. Tomorrow’s schedule is to quickly inspect the spawning ponds cleaned up during the first exploration early in the morning, rescue the victims there, and then finish the second exploration…….”
=Are you planning to return to the village and hand over the victims?=
“Okay. It’s a place where heterogeneous species were once sorted out, so I don’t think a battle will happen. And looking at the trend so far, victims have been gathered only in lake-level spawning ponds, so these are the three places where the victims are expected to be.”
So, when they heard that the goal was to leave after figuring it out in the morning, the party agreed without any doubts or doubts.
Romdis felt his eyes open again.
This is it. If you are a leader who leads a party, you should demonstrate that level of leadership. See, none of the party raises a question.
Romdis, who briefly thought of Homen, who hadn’t even listened to him, let it go, and stared at the saint who was briefing Seongtusa and Geomhee with even more sparkling eyes.
‘But how can I demonstrate such leadership? A clever story? An appealing voice?’
The day after Romdis realized the importance of speaking to give everyone faith.
The party was quite surprised at the development of the situation, which was not at all wrong with the story they heard yesterday.
Ciella, who started aerial reconnaissance with Hwanin, was greatly surprised that the vitality of the victims was detected exactly where the saint pointed out yesterday, and was relatively less surprised that there were almost no heteromorphic species around it.
How did you find out? It’s hard to believe that the fact that victims came out only in lake-level spawning ponds led to such results.
Hwanin, who had completed pre-reconnaissance by flying with Siela, led the party to the three lake-level spawning ponds marked on the map, as well as all other large and small spawning ponds, and rescued 6 more victims from the lake-level spawning ponds. After saving 25 people, he immediately returned to Krabin Village.
It was the 3rd day after the 2nd admission.
Kravin Village once again went into an uproar.
Twenty-five of the people thought to have been dragged to death by Lee Hyeong-jong returned alive and well.
=Yana, Yana!=
=Ella, you were alive… ! Ah…… !=
= Mom! Open your eyes, Mom…… !=
Hwanin watched with cold eyes as the women who were still unconscious returned to their families, and then said to Raviola.
“Victims are in a state of unconsciousness from extreme psychological trauma,” She said. You could simply call it a shop that was looted and closed.”
=Yes, yes.=
A cold voice that made my shoulders shrink just from listening to it from the side.
Raviola squinted her eyes at the whispering inhabitants as if they were seeing something dirty in a place away from her wagon, but she was troubled.
“Fortunately, Miss Ciela’s appearance is no different from before thanks to Miss Ciela’s recovery spell. If only she came to her senses, though post-traumatic stress disorder…… So, her memories of being in the labyrinth will be a great scar on her heart, but time will heal her.”
=Yes.=
The more Raviola heard the story, the more the two bats hit him in the chest. He is to blame for the momentum that Hwanin is shedding.
Don’t these people notice?! Why are you doing that in a place that looks like that!
Hwanin raised his voice with abdominal breathing so that everyone in the gathering could hear.
“But if people in the same village discriminate and persecute them, they may live a difficult life and make a sad choice.”
Buzz buzz. Realizing that it was the saint’s voice, the villagers looked for Hwanin and bowed their heads at the ensuing voice.
“What I’m trying to say is that I don’t want those who have dedicated themselves to the village and come back after experiencing terrible things to not groan and suffer from the discrimination of the same villagers.”
=…… !=
=…….=
“Everyone knows the reason why spiritists go on pilgrimage. So am I. I just hope that after today, I won’t regret saving Kravin Village.”
After saying that, Hwanin made eye contact with the villagers whispering toward the carriage, then turned around and headed for the mansion.
To be honest, Hwanin saved the survivors for two reasons.
One was because the girlfriends wanted to rescue them, and the other was to find the souls of the victims who were wandering around.
That’s why Hwanin wasn’t very interested in what kind of life the survivors lived after. Because he thought he had done his job by saving them.
‘I haven’t found a single soul since I thought it was an incidental achievement.’
In such a yard, if the villager he and his girlfriends have worked hard to save commits suicide due to bullying, his efforts will be in vain.
Since he was a Hwanin that he didn’t want to see like that, he took advantage of his position and subtly threatened the villagers.
And that threat worked.
As soon as Hwanin turned around, exuding a cold energy, the village elders came out and started shouting.
= No! What are you guys doing there?!=
=Yes, yes?=
=I was asking what the attitude you are showing now means!=
= No… We…….=
= Isn’t it?! Hopefully it’s not the reason I thought it was! A person wearing animal skin wouldn’t do that!=
=…….=
People with experience found a villager who showed unfriendly feelings towards the survivors, and hurriedly spurred them on.
Feeling that the atmosphere of hatred towards the victims had changed quite a bit, Hwan-in questioned Raviola, who was following him with trepidation.
“Miss Raviola, do you know anything about the atmosphere around town?”
=Yes! I formed a patrol and carefully searched around the village for the third time, but I couldn’t see a single frog heteromorph. After that, the fantasy fairy also scouted around the village once, and as a result of the scouting, he confirmed that there were no heterogeneous species within 10km of the village.=
“It’s a reassuring story, at least.”
Hwanin was a little worried. If there is no more crisis in the village, he seems to be okay with taking Hwanyeon…….
=Me and I got a call from the communication center this morning. The reinforcements from Praver arrived two days from the village.=
“That is good news.”
= Yep. The troops were said to be a total of 30 people, including the 2nd Army of Prabur’s Sky Knights and their attendants. I know that there is usually no contact with this mid-course, but…… I think it was probably because the Holy Son was there and contacted me.=
Having said that, Raviola showed infinite gratitude to her Hwanin.
=Thank you very much, saint. If it hadn’t been for the help of the Holy Son, our village would have perished…….=
“That must be the guidance and trials of the beast god.”
Raviola is deeply moved and moved by Hwanin’s story.
Hwanin, who arrived at her outbuilding while talking with her about her rare situation, returned first and was able to see her group busy with importing equipment, arranging tools, and checking supplies.
Yurp was also nearby.
After parting ways with Raviola, Hwanin approached her while she was repairing her carriage, wearing a tool vest with various magical tools stored in her overalls and overalls from the carriage storage attached to her annex.
‘Is it adding a function to the wagon?’
She once talked about adding a cooling function, but she seems to be paying attention to the exterior to see it as adding such a function.
As we approached the storage room, Yurpa came out from under the wagon and approached with a bright face.
=Did you come?=
“Yes. Didn’t everything happen?”
= I was only staying in the annex, was there anything special? Ah, lady Ravi bought a lot of the magic tools I made for life. 14 gold coins here.=
The note that Yurpa gave along with a small bag of gold coins said that a total of 76 magic tools were made and sold with 10 Level 1 Phase Stones and 2 Level 2 Phase Stones.
Crafted items include kettles, kitchen knives, cutting boards, plates, cutlery, oven plates, grinders, seasoning containers, dishwashers, etc.
The second-class Astral Stone was used to install a cleaning and preservation technique in the underground freezer and storage room of the Raviola Mansion.
=I earned 16 gold coins, but I took out 2 gold coins because I was going to buy metal and wood to use in making the next magic tool.=
The value of the phase stone is only 1.9 gold coins, but by adding a little material and metal, did you inflate it to 16 gold coins? I asked again thinking that Yurppa was an alchemist.
“Good job. Didn’t you say that you would make a ring magician that is used in battle? When did you make 76 magic tools for life?”
= I made it when you and the ladies entered the labyrinth. It’s like a village, because life magicians sell the most. Madogi for combat accessories are sold at Praber.=
“…….”
Hwanin looked into Yu Lepa’s eyes without saying a word, and, in response to her own gaze, grabbed her chin, turned it back, and lifted her slightly.
=Ah.=
The sunlight hits Yurpa’s face, which is pale rather than white, and reveals the texture of her roughened skin and slightly dark circles under her eyes.
Hwanin, who was staring at Yu Lepa who was restless as if she had committed a crime, asked quietly.
“So you’re making and selling it and then adding new features to the wagon.”
= Uh, yes. Didn’t something like that happen with Praver this time? I was adding a structure change function because he seems to care about revealing his identity. Even if you change the color and exterior, people won’t recognize it.=
“Can you change the appearance of the wagon?”
= It’s not difficult. The basic gist of the wagon is not touched, and the character of the appearance…… So, I record the current appearance and then change the material. It’s changing to pine, oak, cypress, or birch.=
Now, the wagon is made from a unique tree that only exists in Nionebres. Because of that, the texture is very luxurious, the color is matte black, and the shape is also characteristic, so it is hard to forget once you see it.
It was a story of changing only the exterior while leaving the interior intact through material and detail changes.
= Ah! Also, getting rid of the aura is difficult, but I’m also thinking about magic that changes it slightly. A little more research will complete, complete, complete…….=
Yurpa, who had been hesitantly avoiding Hwanin’s gaze without speaking, smiled awkwardly and spoke.
= If you need anything more, let me know! I’ll reflect right away!=
“No. I am satisfied with that much.”
Even if I tell her not to, she would rather stay still, which would be harder for her.
Hwanin smiled lightly, grabbed Yurpa by the back of her neck, and kissed her on the lips. Yurpa was shy and ashamed and didn’t know what to do, then crawled under her carriage again.
Hwanin, who looked at Yu Lepa’s leg protruding out of her carriage for a moment, then turned her body and called Hwan-yeon, who was playing with Bi-sang, while hiding that her cold feelings were about to be revealed.
“Didn’t the villagers look down on Yurpa?”
“I didn’t. Rumors spread that Yurupa was your woman.”
“Is that why you paid attention to this and that instead? Because of that, Yurfa locked herself in her room and only made her magic tool.”
“…… I heard it from Yurpa.”
Chit, she grumbles as she stares at her village with her face saying that she doesn’t like her fantasy with her tongue strongly pressed against her small and pretty appearance.
“In front of me, I respect you as if I was treating you, but behind my back, there are a lot of things like saying that I was bewitched by a saint with a smooth face. It seems that there is an atmosphere of discrimination because of the Yurpian race?」
“…….”
“Even if she speaks inaudibly out of sight, it’s not like Yulepa isn’t paying attention, she notices everything. If she had said something in front of Yu Lepa, she would have smashed it, but I can’t say anything about her chewing on it in an empty place. That’s why I’m a bit annoyed.”
While protecting Yulepa, Hwanyeon, who offered Mijual Gojual about the bad points of the villagers who had been trampled on by her eyes, saw that the more she spoke, the more her Hwanin’s expression turned cold. I felt like doing it.
…… Uh?!
“What! Did you read the judo newspaper?!」
“I didn’t. You misunderstood what you said.”
“Seriously! Yurpa told me not to say this!”
Hwanyeon, who let out a small scream as she clutched her hair with her ruined face, eventually turned her arrow of resentment toward her Hwanin.
“Your personality is really sinister! Bad guy!”
Hwanin catches Hwan-yeon, who takes out her anger by pulling on her ear lobe and biting it, and stuffs it into his jacket pocket.
Then he found the wagon storage and pulled Yurpa’s leg, who was lying on a board with wheels attached and fiddling with the underside of the wagon.
= Wow?! What, what?!=
With the sound of rolling wheels, Yu Lepa, who was dragged out, flutters in amazement, then opens his eyes wide when he sees Hwanin.
Then, noticing that Hwanin’s face was slightly angry, Yurpa realized what had happened when she saw Hwanin’s apologetic expression with her head sticking out of her chest pocket.
= Self…….=
“I am not angry or upset. Add the wagon feature later and get ready to move. We will leave in the evening.”
=Oh, where are you going?=
“It is a spawning pond labyrinth. Hwanyeon, you will accompany me too.”
“Yes.”
Hwanin, who lifted the collar from the back of Hwanyeon’s neck and lowered it onto Yurpa’s chest, went to the party after his equipment was repaired and informed them that they were leaving again in the evening.
Hwanin’s girlfriends and Romdis’ party, who thought they were going to rest at least tonight, widen their eyes in surprise.
= Huh? Right after dinner?=
“Okay. This time Yurupa and Hwanyeon will join instead of Miss Yuti. Miss Uti, you worked hard for three days, and this is the payoff for working hard together.”
U-Tee, who received a yellow-brown, common first-class phase stone (13 silver coins) from Hwanin, was dazed, but then bowed down with a brightened face.
=Thank you, saint! It was a great honor to be able to help the Holy Son!=
“I pray for the blessings of the Beast God in Miss Yuti’s future.”
In the last three days, the phase stones obtained during the second exploration are 18 (576 silver coins) for level 2, 7 (13 gold coins and 23 silver coins) for level 3, and 5 pieces (37 gold coins and 80 silver coins) for level 4, which is close to 57 gold coins. Was The first time, the profit was less than 40 gold coins.
There, 13 silver coins is less than 1%, but in the first place, Uti’s mission was to help the rescuers bathe, supply drinking water, raise muddy water in the spawning pond, wash dishes, and other chores.
Having suffered for three days and receiving a whopping 13 silver coins, the amount she could earn by working hard for three months, Uti suppressed a smile on her lips and bowed down to Hwanin. After nodding off, he returned with a happy expression.
Her Reality For her, the exploration of her labyrinth for the past three days has been a very difficult and frightening experience.
Her disposition and motto are moderate and easy-going.
She hates fighting. She wasn’t even an adventurer, she was around 30 years old, living her life in moderation as a blue magician in the village.
When she heard that she was going to the labyrinth again in the evening, she didn’t reveal it outwardly, but she was dark inside, but she didn’t have to go in! In addition, I received a first-class phase stone!
Anne, who had been watching Yuti go down with a clear expression of her delight, asked her visionary.
=Doryeong, why did you suddenly change your mind? Besides, Yul is taking her sister too…….=
“The day after tomorrow, the troops from Praver are scheduled to arrive. When I saw that Yu Lepa was still in the village, I thought she would not look good, so I tried to take her.”
This happens even in small villages, but what will happen when people who say they are coming from Praber see Yurpa?
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason.
It was a decision made because it seemed that if Hwanyeon was added to the party, the remaining areas of the labyrinth could be conquered within three to three days.
Because Romdis and the others were there, Yurpa would be safe.
=Wait, can’t you see the good looks? What do you mean, did the villagers harass Yul-sister?=
“There are many ways to bully. Among them, there are acts that you are not even aware of as bullying.”
Isilite and Anne’s facial expressions did not look good due to Hwanin’s imagination-enhancing speech technique, and Romdis’ party looked at Hwanin’s eyes…….
=Me, saint? Then, we will prepare for departure.=
“Miss Raviola said she will prepare dinner in a while, so you can come back by then.”
=Yes.=
She asked his permission and quickly left.
It’s a bit inappropriate to say that the thief is numb, but because of the sins he has committed, the side of Hwanin, who blows away cold air, was like a cushion of thorns.
Hwanin, who also gave Romdis and his party Spledam, looked down at the village where white smoke began to rise from all over, as if preparing dinner with cold eyes.
