Chapter 360 – 354 Kravin, the Village Next to the Forest
It took less than 30 minutes for Hwanin and his party to return to Krabin Village.
It was all because Krabin Forest had changed beyond recognition.
= Wow, was Krabin Forest originally like this? It’s so refreshing. =
=Yes.=
The labyrinth of spawning ponds disappeared and became clearer. The annoying bushes and bushes that caught my ankles were replaced with calm grass, the trees grew straight, and the faint fog that obscured my view disappeared, so it didn’t take much effort to move.
Thanks to moving so quickly and without hindrance, Krabin Village, which he arrived at quickly, looked fine on the outside.
Guards stand guard at the watchtower and the village entrance, and all the shops and stalls along the roadside that can be seen through the wide open village entrance are open and doing business.
Even the clothes of the people walking along the main street do not look like villagers.
Simply put, the population of Krabin Village is about 1,000. The number decreased to 800 due to the spawning pond labyrinth, but if the number of people he saved was added, the number would have increased to 920.
However, there are well over a hundred people on the main street.
Since 10% of the town’s population cannot be gathered there in broad daylight, it must mean that the blockade is over and visitors such as travelers and merchants are coming and going.
As proof of that, people’s expressions are bright without worries or worries.
As Hwanin and his party approached the entrance of the village, the eyes of the watchtower and guards standing at the entrance slowly began to widen.
= Huh? Hey, those who come over here…….=
=…… Huh?=
=Seo, saint! The saint has returned!!=
The guards’ facial expressions change in the order of doubt – surprise – amazement – delight, and then the alarm bell rings out loudly.
= What! What’s up!? =
=Is it a monster attack?!=
= No! The saint has returned alive! The saint has returned!!=
=What!?=
The area near the entrance suddenly becomes cluttered, and a few more guards pop out or stick their heads out, then hurriedly run inside.
The women of Hwanin shed a small laugh at the sight of the village guards looking at them and acting as if the dead had returned.
=I am very surprised.=
= Wouldn’t it be surprising? Because the people I thought were dead came back after 4 months.
Cudang-tang, bang!
Eventually, the wooden door of the guardhouse was shattered with a roar, and Sepius, the chief of the village guard, ran out with his eyes wide open.
Then, when Hwanin’s eyes met, her face changed into a grotesque.
An expression of joy mixed with relief, joy, and even a little bit of pain.
Sepius shouted out instructions to the guards, who were at a loss for what to do.
= You! Run to the village government office and tell Yumian-nim and Ravi the news! And you go to Mi-an Yu’s house to tell them the news, and you…… !=
Sepius, who frantically gave a few instructions, ran to the point where his dog-like ears, a characteristic of the anthropomorphic tribe, fluttered, and knelt down in front of Hwanin, who was flying.
= Holy Son, you are safe! Glad!=
“Yes. Heaven helped me and fortunately I was safe.”
When Hwan-in, who got off her emergency room back, grabbed her by the arm and raised her up, she was stunned and unable to lift her head.
= Ah. I really… How distressed I was at the news of the saint’s disappearance, and I felt so sorry for not being able to do anything from the standpoint of protecting the village…….=
“You didn’t do anything. It was Mr. Se Pierce and his guards who protected the village until we arrived.”
Had it not been for your efforts and sacrifices, Krabin Village would have been reduced to ashes long ago. You can feel proud.
Seeing Hwanin saying this, Sepius’ well-groomed face was stained with emotion.
= Saint…….=
It is often said that men fall for women who recognize their efforts.
It will be vice versa. When he sees Sepiers looking at Hwanin with admiration, he can’t help but think that way.
The women of Hwanin see it and whisper behind it.
Doryeong makes women wherever he goes.
It will be more so because there are far more women than Luke.
If you don’t fall for it, would that be a girl?
Sepius suddenly came to his senses at the reaction of the spirit knights and bowed his head.
= I’m sorry. You must be tired, but I stop without even noticing.=
“No. It just went well. I have something to ask the captain of the guard, so would you like to join me for a while if you have time?”
=Yes, I will meet you.=
Somewhere around 10 people gathered and passed by the guards who looked at him with envy, and entered the village. Hwanin felt something strange.
If the villagers in the past flocked in droves because they wanted to exchange a word somehow, now they can’t bear to come close and kneel down or put their hands together to pray.
It is like a believer facing an object of worship.
‘No matter how much I got rid of the labyrinth and saved the village, it’s an excessive attitude.’
It’s not surprising to see that it rescued 120 people. There, a hippo-headed man in obvious merchant’s attire is also on his knees.
Previously, when all the villagers gathered, there were no hippo-headed Lukerangs.
Passing by them in wonder and examining them closely, I could see a little bit of fear and horror in their faces and attitudes.
Fear and horror Could it be that Mi-an Yu was oppressing her in her own name?
Arriving at the town square like that, Hwanin narrowed his eyes at a symbol that didn’t suit the town at all and stared at the ugly thing.
“…….”
= Ugh. That…….=
=… Yuri unnie, are those people right?=
= Uh… Yes…….=
The heads of 21 men and women shriveled like mummies, stuck on skewers, were decorating the center of the town square, as if they had been embalmed and dehydrated.
Upon discovering it, Hwanin’s women’s expressions darkened. Hwanin’s expression also disappeared from his face.
What is that? Is he the aftermath of the raviola he spurred on?
…… That’s not it. He told Raviola that she would come back and punish her. I don’t think she would have ignored it and executed the villager, as she believes in herself.
Then, what did Yu Mi-an do? It’s hard to see that either. Immediately after rescuing Yu Mi-an, I saw her in a situation where people are most likely to reveal their true nature. She was calm, thoughtful, and considerate.
In the third case, Hwan-in called out to Sepius, who couldn’t make eye contact with him, in a cold voice, weighing up the possibility that it was an evil act committed by those who came from Prabur.
“Mr. Sepius. What happened to those people?”
= I… I’m not talking here on the roadside…….=
“Let me check one thing first. Did Yu Mi-an or Miss Raviola do it?”
If Raviola did something like that on her own, her Hwanin should ask her for her crime.
There is a big difference between killing people on your own terms and losing your life because they are mentally driven and make an extreme choice.
It is because Hwanin himself cannot escape the responsibility because he has committed such a murder with his name and reputation as his backing.
If done wrong, rumors could spread that he was abusing his position in the Spiritual Temple to harm people.
If such rumors follow, it is never a good thing from the point of view of the soul.
Saphius couldn’t even think of that and shook his head hastily, feeling only that Hwanin was angry.
=Absolutely not!=
Then there is no problem. However, before hearing the circumstances of the past 4 months from Raviola, I should check with Saphius first.
We need cross-examination, not cross-examination.
“I was going to go to the town hall, but I will change my destination. Let’s go to Ms. Yu Mi-an’s annex.”
=Yes, yes. Saint.=
Hwan-in, who urged Sepius to return to Raviola and Yu Mi-an’s mansion, could see that the outbuilding was clean and tidy without a speck of dust.
Their wagons are also covered with a white cloth like sunlight to prevent them from fading or gathering dust.
It seems that they were sure that they would come back and cleaned it regularly.
Que~
Coo! Quuet!
Coo
As I entered the outbuilding, Kurti, Kuffin, and Kura clung to the fence and cried and fretted toward this direction.
Where did you go, why are you coming now, I missed you.
=Kurti, how are you?=
Que. Wow.
=Oh, it looks like our coupin misses you a lot.=
Quet!
While the girlfriends had a brief reunion with Que and the others, Hwan-in, who sent Bi-sang into the stable with Hwan-yeon, sat down with Sepius in the living room of the annex.
“Now tell me. What has happened since the day we started?”
=That, on the night that the saint and the spirit knights left for the labyrinth for the last time…….=
The story of the two days that flowed out of Sepius’ mouth was as he expected.
Shortly after her self and her girlfriends left, Raviola became extremely angry and gathered her villagers together to give warnings and warnings to the humans who had been gossiping and gossiping about Yuurpa.
In the process, 17 presumed culprits committed numbness on their own, so they were captured and hung on poles, terrifying others that punishment would come after the saint returned.
When everyone is in trouble, those who gossip, slander, and criticize others behind their backs are not worthy of receiving the blessings of the soul, and the Holy Son will catch them and curse them.
As a result, on the first night, two families got scared and fled at night, and the next day, nine families escaped under cover of darkness.
I’ve been predicting this so far.
From the point of view of ordinary people, being cursed by the soul and not being able to enter the garden of God and falling into Hell is something they want to avoid even if they die.
How do you catch a lie?!
Thinking like that, they had no mental leisure, and they had a blind faith that if they were the Holy Son, they would catch lies.
The original plan was to come back around this time and annihilate those who gossip about Yurpa and gossip behind them.
He doesn’t care what kind of life Yu Lepa led before he met him. But after she met herself, she was more like a prostitute who spreads her crotch for a penny of her iron coin, a shemale who flirts with the village man who owns her, than a foot wiper who can’t die on her man’s cock. I can’t stand the slander of being a dirty galvo bitch.
It is unforgivable for a man to think dirty thoughts and throw dirty words at Yurpa’s figure.
That’s why I controlled Raviola from behind…….
=The problem occurred on the third day. Among the reinforcements that arrived from Prabur, there was a woman named the leader of the Knights of the Sky Knights.
“You mean Miss Raviola saw that?”
= No. Even though the Holy Son stopped me to come back and punish me, the woman called the captain of the knights did not listen and cut her throat, saying that I could not spare the soul priest and those who insulted the spirit knight even for a moment. =
According to her words, the woman who was the leader of the knights had invaded her authority.
If you blaspheme the Spirit Knight, the punishment for that should be given by the Spirit Knight. However, one of the dispatched knight commanders punished them arbitrarily.
The reason can be roughly guessed. The leader of the knights must have committed such a thing because he wanted to show his loyalty and believed that there was a noble lord behind him.
However, in principle, the lord who commands the knights can also be held accountable.
“What happened after that?”
= The leader of the knights said to set an example, put his head on a skewer and spread it out in the square. I strongly warned that damaging this is an insult to the lord, who is the owner of Prabur and the ruler of this land.=
‘Also.’
=And the next day, the captain of the knights led the knights and marched toward the labyrinth of the spawning pond. That afternoon, Romdis’ party returned to the village with Yumian-nim and the captives, and the knights returned the next day at noon.=
The captain of the knights talked with Romdis (a 5th-class member of the tribe is treated everywhere) and Yumian throughout the day, and then searched around the village for a month to search for and subdue heterogeneous species and monsters…….
=Since the saint did not come back in the meantime, the knight commander concluded that the saint was dead and returned to Prabur.=
A person of the order of Prabur’s Knight Commander would be a high-ranking member of the local community or a member of the lowest-ranking member of the community, so he wondered why they didn’t use honorific titles, and Hwanin wondered if it was because of this.
“I heard you. I’m relieved to hear that it wasn’t something Raviola-san or Yu-mian-san did.”
= Uh…….=
“If you two committed such an act with my name on your back, I should have punished you both with bone-breaking pain. Thank you for being honest with me.”
=Yes, yes.=
Swallowing his saliva at the story of punishment, Sepius said that Yu Mi-an would be looking for the saint, so he would go and call him.
Anne, who was quietly listening to her story, asked.
= Doryeong. What are you going to do?=
“Praber passes. After arriving at Praver, we will stay for a short while before departing for Alsof in the northern part of Lake Aleughel. In the lord’s castle of Prav…… End with writing a letter of protest.”
=Protest?=
“For those who gossip about Yurupa behind their backs, I had to either punish them or forgive them. However, for the knight commander to slaughter them arbitrarily is clearly an act of excess of authority. If you don’t show any reaction and move on, there is room for others to look at you lightly when this is known later.”
Furthermore, since I have to comment on the work of the telecommunications correction management department, I plan to handle it together at that time.
=Your lord will lose a lot of face.=
“It was taken with that in mind. In addition, if you visit the current situation, you will be caught in the lord castle of Prabur and you will not be able to escape easily. They will make lame excuses and try to catch you and feed you bribes and entertainment.”
4 months passed. It can be said that everything that happened in Helumen, including what happened in Bijalux, was heard by the city-level lords of Radsea.
The troublesome and troublesome thing that happened in Helumen was the Hwanin who was more modest.
= Master. Then what will you do with the eleven houses you ran away from?=
“Do not care. His placenta must have collapsed in the field and died.”
It was close to impossible for non-professionals and non-combatants to safely spend over 10 days on a journey.
Looking at themselves, they were attacked by large and small monsters or beasts once every four or three days while on the move.
Even though it was a party made up of four Que, a large wagon, and a group of professionals, how sad would it be for those who escaped? I don’t think they will reach another village or village safely.
Even if Heaven somehow helped them and arrived safely, the residents of other villages would not accept those who ran away after causing trouble.
“It is not just that villages and villages are looking for migrants by paying introduction fees.”
At Hwanin’s cold-blooded analysis, the women swallowed saliva and nodded. Hwanin looked at those girlfriends and said quietly.
“Yurpa. It’s a good opportunity, so I’ll tell you.”
=Uh, huh?=
“No matter what your past was, you are my woman now. If you listen to gossip and do rude things with nonsense, don’t put up with it and smash your head with a cane. If that’s the case, it’s okay if you accidentally kill it. I will take responsibility.”
Yurupa’s mouth opened slightly at the staged remark.
“This also applies to Isilite and Anne. If you ever get sexually harassed or belittled as a woman, split your hair.”
The three women widened their eyes when they were told to openly throw their heads away, then smiled and nodded.
It was because they felt the heart of Hwanin who was considerate of them in the cold and bloody words.
After Sepius went back, Isilite, Anne, and Yurpa looked around the house and found their luggage stored in the carriage.
=It looks like Rom took care of it.=
=Let’s take everything in and check it out.=
=Yes.=
Since it has been 4 months, you should check the condition of the contents in the general subspace bag, not the preservation bag.
As the women lined up their bags and checked the contents inside the house, they realized that several items needed to be sorted out.
=There is almost no leftover food. Our food bags are fine…… Anne, how are you there?=
=There is not a single piece of cloth or blanket. It seems that most of the consumables prepared by Krabin are out of stock. Our personal items are all fine as if they were not touched.=
Holy water grapes are also intact thanks to being put in a preservation bag to prevent drying out or volatilization of the holy water. Excluding alcohol, it doesn’t matter how much time passes.
= Who is Yul’s sister? Unnie’s luggage is the most expensive among our luggage.=
= Yes. The material pouch, tool pouch, and storage bag are all fine. There is no trace of being touched.=
While Isilite and Anne were rearranging their subspace bags, Yurpa carried out a precise appraisal of the 6th grade phase stone obtained from the core of the Labyrinth of the Spawning Pond.
And again.
=It’s a 6th grade phase stone with the vitality extension function. Although it is a beginner in level 6, it is collected from the core, so the energy is clean and the purity is high. If you sell it, the premium will be more than twice as high.=
=Oh, twice. So you’re saying it’s over 400 gold coins? If you put it on the auction house, it will be more expensive as a rare item.=
= No. If you’re thinking of selling, the auction house is a bad vehicle. If such a ghost comes up, a party can come in and sell it cheaper than the market price. =
= Huh? Is there such a thing?=
=You can’t underestimate people’s greed.=
Answering, Yurpa, who put down the magic tool of one-eyed glasses engraved with the technique of widening the field of view and correcting the focus, spoke to the illusionist.
= If you are thinking of selling, you better sell it to your network. If you give it to Lord Henry Justio of Parchist or Lord Siha Saiji of Hellumen, you will surely get more than that.
=Ah, rather than selling it, you should use it.=
= I agree with what Anne said. I think it’s best for the master to write.=
= I think so too. But do you have more pressing things than this? If you use this as an exchange material when exchanging it for one of the rest of Grimoam’s artifacts, it’s sure to work well.=
After hearing Yurpa’s opinion, the two women thought it was not bad.
He can also see the effect of raw phase stone. It is something that can be used as it is without processing and exchanged when the time comes.
“All right. Then, please make it so that it can be worn like the recycled necklace I am wearing now.”
= Yes. I’ll make you cool!=
When the story ended like that, two women entered the yard on the side of the annex with the sound of running fast.
A face that resembles a face that expresses emotions such as joy, relief, and bewilderment.
At first glance, it was Yumian and Raviola who looked like sisters rather than mother and daughter.
