Chapter 361 – 355 Kravin, the Village Next to the Forest
= Eunin.=
=Saint!=
The blue-haired women who ran in through the terrace were thrilled to see Hwanin.
Her mother, Mi-an Yu, was only relieved, but her daughter, Raviola, couldn’t control her own emotions and frantically bowed her head in front of her Hwan-in.
= Saint! Thank you for saving my mom! Thank you so much! If the Holy Son hadn’t come, our village, my mother…… !=
As she speaks, Raviola begins to shed tears with sapphire blue eyes.
Hwanin revealed his true colors inside. I never thought she would show such vivid emotions even after 4 months.
Thinking that this was unexpected for her, Hwanin stopped her by holding her shoulder and calmly comforted her.
“As I said before, it was my duty. Rather…… Are you okay. It doesn’t make sense.”
Looking good… No, she doesn’t even need to look closely, her cheeks have become visibly slimmer, and even under her eyes, fatigue can’t be hidden.
If Yu Mi-an was like that, she would think it was because she was tired from heavy work, but Yu Mi-an must have overcome all her after-effects and has a neat and well-groomed appearance.
= Oh, I… So this.=
A slightly flushed face, an attitude shy enough to make proper eye contact with her.
Hwanin realized what was going on whenhehesitated as if it was difficult to say.
“Thank you. To think that she cared for us enough to go through so much trouble, I feel like all the hard work so far has been rewarded.”
= Oh… That…….=
“Now, stop crying and smile for the sake of the dead. Happiness and blessings always come with a smile.”
With a small smile, he gently caresses her cheek and under her eyes, and the blue cat ears on top of her head react violently.
Behind her, Mi-an Yu could understand why her villagers couldn’t forget the saint, even after 100 days had passed.
It must be because of this kind of personality of the saint.
He broke through the labyrinth without expecting anything in return and rescued 120 kidnapped villagers.
She heard that there were over a thousand monsters killed outside the labyrinth, and she beat and killed a similar number of heteromorphic species inside the labyrinth, and finally destroyed the labyrinth.
It’s a feat that deserves to be taken for granted even if it’s condescending. Even though he has a status that deserves to be respected and respected, he doesn’t show that kind of tee at all.
= I’m sorry……. Seeing that the saint was safe, I was overcome with emotion…….=
Seeing her daughter acting like a girl and Hwan-in affectionately soothing her, Mi-an Yu felt that her heart, which had been consumed by her futility and emptiness, warmed little by little.
Yu Mian, who was treated as the seed of her core, returned to the village after two months with 119 rescued people like herself.
Arriving in a village she never thought she would be able to step on again alive, to be honest, she didn’t know women who were married and had children like her, but she thought that the rest of her life would be difficult for young unmarried women.
It is the body used for breeding by receiving the seeds of monsters. She can’t be accepted if you consider the basic character of men.
However, when she returned to the village, Mi-an Yu said that all the villagers had suffered for their survival, and she was quite surprised to see her caring.
To the extent that Yumi An, who had been dying for two months, regained her vitality in an instant.
What the hell happened to the village?
She was quite taken aback by the villagers welcoming them, but there were still women who couldn’t come to their senses, so she first moved them to the village’s aid station.
The aid station was also better than expected.
More than 100 beds were prepared, each room was neatly arranged so that 10 people could fit in, and there was a large bathroom that could accommodate 40 people at a time, as well as a large dining room.
=This is a place prepared according to the words of the Holy Son.=
=…… You mean that saint cared about even these things?=
=Yes. Party… Hospital? You said it was hospital food. He hired old people in the village who were a little less skilled in labor to take care of the patients.=
=Where is the saint’s money?=
=As soon as he arrived in the village, he made the wandering souls attain Buddhahood. To that, the villagers gave gifts and gifts in return…….=
It was said that the saint returned it intact to the village, and the result was this hospital.
It didn’t end there, but the Holy Spirit’s companion, the Yurpa Spirit Knight, helped the hospital run by teaching some how to handle herbs and how to heal wounds with medicine.
World… To. Do you think the spirit master cares about these things?
After reading the saint’s deeds, Yu Mi-an went beyond admiration and was sincerely in awe.
40 I’ve seen over 20 soul ceremonies in my life, but I swear it was the first time I’ve seen someone do something like this.
No, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone who moves so altruistically, not in the spirit world, but in all people.
That’s why he couldn’t contain his sadness. Someone like the Holy Son had to survive, not them.
However, he disappeared with an intense golden light immediately after breaking the core of his labyrinth.
It was hard for her to stay sane when she remembered that fact, so she immediately immersed herself in her work at her government office to solve the problems that were piled up in the village.
=Are you the noble family of this village?=
=Yes, Commander of the Knights Baekchiryeong.=
Once she and her daughter were in charge of the current situation in the village, the next day she was able to meet the head of Pra Ver’s late reinforcements, whom her daughter had told her about.
Yesterday they set out to save themselves, but the paths diverged and returned today…… Prabur’s 2nd Corps of Sky Knights and their attendants and servants.
According to her daughter, if it wasn’t for the saint, they were people I’d never seen in my life, and they were people who were very late at the latest.
=I heard from an adventurer in the village that the saint did not return from the labyrinth. To explain what happened.=
Yu Mi-an skillfully hides the repulsion she felt at the arrogant attitude of the woman who inherited the surname of the Baek clan, the lord of Pra-Bur, in her heart and explains the situation at the time.
Why do you feel rejected? This is the natural attitude of the nobles who have been through life.
=…… So the Holy Son’s party disappeared with the golden light. We were shocked and searched for the saint, but there was only broken crystals scattered all over the place…….=
After that, the labyrinth began to shake, and Mian Yu explained that she had no choice but to escape the labyrinth at the urging of Mr. Romdis, and the expected answer came back.
= Why did you come back alive? My Son is nobler than four years or hundreds. Even if he had to die in the labyrinth, shouldn’t he have found them? =
=… Sorry…….=
= This saint is like that too. I just can’t understand it. Giving up one’s life to save these fools.=
=…….=
= Became We’ll take care of his search, so you guys, renovate my place to stay. I looked at it yesterday and it looked like a pigpen.=
= Yes, Commander of the Knights Baek Chi-ryeong…….=
Her tone was not good, but everything she said was true, and Yu Mi An shed tears.
He is a person who will benefit the world more than themselves, the common village’s nobles and villagers, but to think that such a person died in vain in the labyrinth.
Although it was only for a moment, I saw his personality, and when I naturally compared him with the powerful people in front of me, I felt even more saddened.
From the next day, the Sky Knights searched widely around the place where the labyrinth was located, subjugating heterogeneous species and monsters.
Yumian and Raviola watched it and prayed with a little hope in their hands.
He was the one who broke through that dangerous labyrinth with his three colleagues. There’s no way people like that could die in vain.
Dozens of knights and servants are searching the area, so good news will come soon.
However, a day passed, two days turned into a week, and more than a month, four months passed, and he did not return.
Baek Chi-ryeong, the head of the Knights, declared the saint dead after a month-long search and passed away, and his daughter lost her smile.
‘Ah…….’
Yu Mi-an immersed herself in the village work to avoid unnecessary thoughts.
The aftereffects of the two-month blockade of the village were greater than expected.
The stockpiled goods in the village were almost running out, merchants and merchants stopped visiting, and replenishment of daily necessities was stopped.
If this continues, the village will die.
Yu Mi-an buried the suffering she suffered from being taken away by Lee Hyung-jong and the saint’s work in her heart, and made every effort to revive her village.
Using her personal connections, she called her merchants and merchants, and released herbalists, hunters, and gatherers to encourage them to harvest special products.
Seongja-nim cleaned up most of the heterogeneous species outside the village, but even so, he comforted those who were frightened and did not want to go out well, and redeveloped the fields around the village.
They sent people with enough energy to fetch lumber, rebuilt collapsed buildings, repaired broken buildings, and repaired damaged village buildings.
He supplemented the positions of the village patrol and vigilante, which had become vacant after his death, to train and patrol at the same time, and he took care of special products such as forest greens, medicinal herbs, various techniques, and magic processing materials that came in every day.
In the process, her villagers surprised her by coming out with unprecedented cooperation.
=Is it okay to clear the road here?=
= There’s nothing wrong. Let’s finish it quickly. =
=Uhh.=
The men, who always shied away and shouted, “Only fighting is the only thing men do!” Went on to clear the fields and tidy up the gathering areas without saying anything.
= Big. I was lucky today.=
=No, isn’t it Clavintia red vinegar! You guys are lucky today!=
=… You are the one who brought back half a dozen Roatings evening primroses that have not bloomed. The skills of the heyday are coming out.=
Gatherers and herbalists subtly collected expensive materials and special products such as forest herbs from the secret collection area and poured everything into the revival of the village.
=Hyungjong Lee seems to have disappeared. Beasts and animals are returning.=
=The birds are flying again. There were a lot of horned swans in the northwest lake.=
When the hunters came back with their own income, the women of the village did not play tricks and moved busily to process them into products.
Arrow shafts and arrow feathers are made from bird feathers, wood, and metal pieces, and arrowheads are made from animal bones to mass-produce arrows.
They gnaw bones to make needles and household tools, and tan leather to make clothes, shoes, and wallets.
It was immediately clear why they were so cooperative.
The words the Holy Son said before leaving for the final labyrinth, ‘Those who gossip, slander, and criticize others behind their back when everyone is in trouble are not worthy of receiving the blessings of the soul, and will be cursed by the soul.’ And expanded…….
‘If I try to take advantage of myself when others are in trouble, I will be cursed and will not be able to go to God’s Garden.’
…… It was because it changed and was recognized in the minds of the villagers.
Thanks to that, he was able to secure the quantity to trade with merchants and merchants who arrived a few days later, and Yu Mi-an was able to secure a higher price than usual by roasting and boiling them with splendid speech and speech.
Of course, all of the money was spent on the purchase of daily necessities and miscellaneous goods they brought, and even that was not enough, so they had to pour all the profits earned from selling Raviola’s magic tools.
Distribution was made according to each person’s contribution.
It was held in an open place according to standards that anyone would feel fair. Thanks to that, people did not have complaints and continued production activities with more strength.
After two months, thanks to the efforts of Yumian and Raviola and other villagers, the barn was filled again, and visitors began to come to the village.
After this, the work gradually decreased and I started to have some spare time.
As soon as she had time to spare, the pain buried in Yu Mi-an’s heart sprouted.
As her body became more comfortable, the terrible memories of her being dragged by her monster came back and haunted her day and night. Didn’t make it
= Mr. Yu Mi-an. Then we will go back now.=
=You worked hard to find him on behalf of us helpless, Mr. Romdis.=
= No. Rather, it is not your fault that things turned out this way.=
=…….=
=…… So cheer up.=
On the second month since he came back, the adventurers who stayed after the knights left and looked for them also left.
Yumian and Raviola felt as if the saint had been sentenced to death.
Since he is dead, he is sentenced not to have false expectations.
Time continued to pass.
Thanks to Yu Mi-an, who does not sleep for several hours a day and is immersed in work, by the time another two months have passed, the village has regained its original appearance.
But her mind never regained her former self.
Her memories and guilt from the time she was seeded that came to her mind were eating away at her heart and taking away her life and her will.
It was around the time that the townsfolk were showing their concerns little by little as they killed time by staring blankly at the blue sky for several hours a day.
= Yu Mi An! The saint, the saint and the soul knights have returned!!=
=…… ?=
Just like yesterday, today, when I was just killing time in a daze, Yu Mi-an couldn’t react properly at the moment when the guards ran in and shouted.
You came back? Who?
…… Are you a soul master?
Really? How?
Her deadly drooping heart began to beat little by little, and Yu-mi-an’s head woke up with the feeling that her dead brain cells were waking up, albeit a little.
That’s right, there’s no way the beast god would take such a person early.
The disappearance must have been due to the beast god’s misunderstanding.
“…….”
On a small hill with a clear view of her village, Hwan-in and Yu Mi-an quietly listened to the stories she told them.
Her curiosity about her was all resolved in her early days. The process of normalizing the village is out of Hwanin’s interest.
‘After breaking the core of the labyrinth, it seems that the labyrinth will disappear.’
My girlfriends said yes, but I still needed a clear case, but I think this can be confirmed as a reference case.
Then, when you attack the next labyrinth, you have to prepare a means to escape the labyrinth……
I decided to talk about this with Yurpa later.
When the story was over, Hwanin said to Yu Mi-an, who kept his mouth shut.
“Come to think of it, when I returned, the forest had changed beyond recognition. Is this the original Krabin Forest?”
= No. Krabin Forest was no different from any other forest…… After Euninnim destroyed the labyrinth, the forest became clearer and the grace of nature became stronger. The profits earned from gathering and hunting for the past four months have more than doubled from previous years.=
“I’m glad. Since you went through that hardship, you should be able to enjoy it from now on, but I guess nature knows that and takes care of it.”
=…….=
The more Yu Mi-an looked at her, the more she felt her heart shake by the man in front of her, who was completely different from the members of the royal family, and smiled naturally after the first time in a long time.
It would be better if all the nobles in the world were like him.
Hwanin gave a small smile at her smile, and she stared at the hair skewer in the plaza, which can be seen from here as well, and asked in a slightly lower voice.
“Lastly, I have a question about that one in the square.”
= Yes…….=
“Are you sure Pravor’s Sky Knights did this?”
=Yes. The person who killed them is a direct blood relative of Lord Baek Joong-ik, the commander of the 2nd division of the Heavenly Knights Baek Chi-ryeong.=
“…… I am a little angry.”
Are you angry? You don’t seem to have anything to do with that…….
It’s not that I hate it. Rather, I liked it because I showed my human side. It doesn’t mean that you’re just a good person, it’s because your philosophy and subjectivity are complete.
Yu Mi-an thought for a moment and then asked.
= This is an embarrassing question, but…… Didn’t the Holy Son also try to punish and condemn them?
Rather, the commander of the knights slapped his neck, so isn’t it nice to be relieved of the troublesome and troublesome work? Hwanin replied with a cold expression to such a gist of the question.
“Miss Yumian. To be honest, execution is not a proper punishment.”
=…… ?=
“So I wanted to give them a chance. I tried to open a way for you to be forgiven and live a life depending on how you evaluated and acted before.”
I remember hearing from her daughter. One of Rom Dis’s party, a writer named Homen, refused the saint’s repeated requests for apology, and died after his throat was pierced.
Did the Holy Son intend to give them a chance? Even though the insignificant ignoramuses blasphemed their women and spirit knights?
“So I tried to curse in my name.”
Curse…… ?
The saint’s curse, isn’t that a punishment more terrifying than death?
“If you are cursed by me, of course the villagers will ostracize you, contempt, and contempt. It will be a life-changing experience.”
If the past behavior was bad, greater contempt will be poured out, and if it was a momentary mistake, it will be relatively less, but an equally unbearable time of suffering will follow.
However, if they really repent of their mistakes and show long reflection, there is a possibility that the villagers will forgive and accept them again.
“Of course, the road will be long and difficult. But the possibility certainly exists. But death completely erases that possibility.”
= Ah…….=
Yoo Mi-an noticed what Seongja-nim was about to say and felt goosebumps and tremors from his tail go around his body and gather in his heart and erogenous zones.
How can this be ruthless yet merciful words?
Death is a short pain that ends everything, but according to the Holy Son’s words, it will be painful enough to think that death is better.
Because it is much more painful and painful to put hope in despair than to give only despair.
Jureuk-
“…… Ms. Yumian?”
Mi-an Yu was taken aback by the tears flowing down her cheeks against her will.
“Are you okay?”
=Yes, yes. It’s okay, it’s okay… That’s fine. Yes…….=
I say it’s okay, but the tears won’t stop. Rather, my heart is constricted as if it will explode, and tears pour down like a waterfall.
No, why is this…….
“It’s okay. Don’t try to hold back and let everything flow in tears. If you pour all the pain and suffering into those tears and let them go, your heart will feel much better.”
Yu Mi-an sobbed silently in Hwan-in’s arms at the warmth of her careful care.
Yu Mi-an, who sobbed in his arms for a while and drenched the island in front of him, knelt in front of him with a sudden calm look and lowered his head.
It is as if a servant is paying respect to the monarch.
=I received an immeasurable amount of grace from the saint. Yumian Kravin of Krabin Village, on behalf of the village, express our sincere thanks to the Holy Son’s hard work and generous support.=
“… I’ll accept it. I pray for the peace of mind of the villagers who passed away in this incident.”
Hwanin saw Yu Mi An looking up from below and smiling at his answer.
It feels like a burnt-out ember…… If you think about what she’s been through, you’re not mistaken.
Hwanin, who was about to open his mouth, hesitated as Yu Mian lowered his head even more, then slightly frowned when he saw Yu Mian kissing his foot.
On Earth, the act of kissing the instep is devotion and loyalty in the positive sense, and submission, humiliation, and coercion of shame in the negative sense.
But this is Nionebreath. What does it mean to act like this in this situation?
Hwanin raised his head again and read several emotions and attitudes in Yu Mi An’s eyes.
Resignation, abandonment, and helplessness.
Overall, it resembles the symptoms of a suicide.
=After my benefactor disappeared in the golden light that day, I became a criminal after escaping the collapsing labyrinth and returning without being able to search for the disappearance of the saint.=
“…….”
= In retaliation for grudge, in return for grace. My benefactor saved my life, but I was unable to answer that, so I will dedicate my life in this life to my benefactor. From this moment on, the owner of this body is benefactor, so please use it comfortably…….=
From that appearance, Hwanin realized one thing.
Saying that you will sacrifice your life is not an ambiguous expression, but the meaning of the word.
Hwanin, who gave Raviola a look at Raviola, who seemed frozen in surprise, looked at Yumi’s well-groomed crown, then knelt down in front of her, put her hand on her shoulder, and opened her mouth.
