Chapter 397 – 391 Port City Praver
Squirm— squirm——
“…….”
Hwanin raised his head not at the cry of a small bird, but at the sound of a seagull, and felt the outside of the window brighten and a lukewarm wind blowing instead of the cool night air.
It’s already bright.
Hwanin looked down at the laptop and closed the laptop after checking the end of the chapter on the growth of fish stocks on changes in feed formulation and salary for freshwater fish stocks.
After 5 hours of collecting and arranging the necessary information, Nionebreth selected the information that should not be known and the information that should be shared and transferred them to paper, so the work took longer than expected.
I haven’t slept a wink, but I’m not that tired.
On the contrary, as I stayed up all night doing paperwork after a long time, it reminded me of the tumultuous overtime at my previous job.
A mistake committed by the external sales department came back as a big claim, and the task was assigned to the HR team, and all office staff were mobilized.
Almost 30 years of cumulative sales settlement data, storage and organization are messy, so I can’t even use the sort function and search, so I have to compare and review the data sent from the other side one by one.
I stayed up all night for two days to solve it, but compared to that time, I can’t even get tired of this much.
In addition, at the time, the job was to take over and fix the accident committed by others, but this work is only for one’s own purpose.
The threshold of fatigue felt is inevitably different.
‘And thanks to the weekend work being over, I left straight away to bushcraft.’
Memories of coming into the forest while physically and mentally tired and enjoying the refreshing energy of the forest while enjoying a nap in the hammock, then waking up from the cold of the night and drinking coffee while looking up at the night sky in the forest full of stars come to mind one after another.
Memories turned into fragrances, and the smell of bitter coffee and the cold forest night air passed by my nose, bringing a smile to my lips.
Kiruruk—Kiruruk—
Hearing the cries of seagulls again, recalling the memory of being attacked by a seagull the size of a fighter jet in an unknown forest labyrinth, Hwanin leaned back against the backrest and reviewed the contents of a bundle of papers for the last time, then laughed.
‘I’ll be able to catch that too now.’
Hwanin, who put down the documents as thick as a small notebook, took out an iron stick called a light spear from his bosom.
At first glance, it is an ink stick with poor craftsmanship, but it is a famous relic weapon that can be counted among two hands among relics, turning into a spear of light if you put your own will into it after finishing the imprint on it.
Either show extreme cutting power or not be able to use it as a weapon at all. It’s a weapon without a middle, but it wasn’t a big problem for Hwanin because he had a magic weapon called a barrier.
And the fact that the attack power is strong is an advantage, but it is not a disadvantage.
Just because it cuts everything down to the point where power control is meaningless doesn’t mean there’s no way to subdue the opponent.
Blowing away the cartilage in the knee or cutting off the joint in the arm.
Boo-woong-woong——
When he put his will into activating the light spear, dozens of hornets flapping their wings, revealing the shape of a light spear measuring 3m in length.
After appreciating the beautiful shape of the light spear for a while, Hwanin withdrew the spear and looked back at Booth and Baek Chi-ryeong, who got up from their seats.
=…….=
Baek Chi-ryeong rubs her face with a face that is still going back and forth, perhaps awakened by the sound of the light spear. Her cheeks, which are slowly turning blue on top of the rolled-up blanket, catch her eyes.
Soon after, she came to her senses, and her Baekchiling felt all kinds of emotions about her own situation, revealing the futility of her life on her face.
“When you wake up, go out and wash up and go to Anne. And just listen to what she says.”
=… Yes…….=
Baek Chi-ryeong, who gave an answer that did not feel even a gram of confidence, flinched, furrowed her brow as if pain was rising from below, then covered her lower body with a blanket and left the room sloppily.
Hwanin, who looked at her from the back for a while, also packed her laptop, roughly bound the documents, and went to wash in the bathroom attached to the room.
=Doryeong, the kid has completely become a duck bottom. Shall we treat it?=
Hwanin, who came out of the living room after washing himself lightly, looked at Baek Chi-ryeong, who was lying on the living room floor and quietly writing a letter of reflection, just like yesterday, at the words of Anne approaching.
Certainly, the pants look tighter than yesterday, and the butt is held unnaturally so that it doesn’t touch anything.
“No. That pain will engrave in your heart your situation, the change of heart you experienced yesterday, and your commitment.”
= Well, that’s right. By the way, did Doryeong have such sadistic hobbies?
Hwanin, who had been staring blankly at Anne laughing like her perverted virgin, also smiled.
“It was a different experience.”
= Ohhh. Then why don’t you try it with my ass tonight?=
Hwan-in, who lightly slapped her on the buttocks, replied as she walked to the sofa.
“Well. Considering your body defenses, I wonder if my hand will break first before your butt turns red.”
= Ah. That’s the problem…….=
If you think about it, Anne and Issilite are both saints and swordsmen. She is a professional whose physical abilities far exceed those of ordinary people.
=Master, did you sleep well?=
=Good morning, darling~.=
“Hello, Mr. Hwanin.”
“Okay. Everyone come and sit down.”
Hwanin, who pointed to the seat in front of him at his girlfriends walking out of the room, recounted a conversation he had with Baek Joongik yesterday.
Isilite and Baekryeogang were in the same place as Hwanin, but Anne and Yurpa were not.
And after hearing all of her story, Anne asks, touching her own slender chin with her serious face.
=That’s not one of the city’s main industries, but two. In addition, there is also an enemy called Alsop, and there is a problem such as confusion inside Praver……. Is it possible?=
“I showed them that this vision could exist, and they judged it possible, so they reacted that way. And I intend to provide some information that may be helpful.”
When I waved the booklet I had written and moved all morning, Yurpa took it with both hands and began to open it.
Hwanin gave Baek Chi-ryeong a brief glance and said, not paying attention to this side and focusing only on the reflection.
“And when the maid brings breakfast, she intends to eat and go to the city.”
= Huh? Aren’t you leaving today?=
When Anne asked, saying it was unexpected, Baek Chi-ryeong’s hand, which was calmly writing down her reflection, stopped for a moment.
And she lifted her head slightly, and as soon as her eyes met her own, she was startled. .
“Okay. I will stay for a few more days to purify the soul and the mixture.”
= Huh? Didn’t Praver say he wouldn’t help?=
“It wasn’t that I didn’t help, I said I wasn’t going to do this.”
=That’s not it…… ?=
=…… ?=
As Anne and Isilite were confused, Hwanyeon, who was lying on top of Yurpa’s chest like a waterbed, spoke in a sleepy voice.
“Stupid guys… It’s not about helping Prabur to achieve Buddhahood…… Hwanin will do it of his own will……. Because of political issues…….」
=Ah.=
“It will be difficult for Alsof to obtain the fact that I saved Lord Baek Joong-ik. Of course, you may not know at all. Baek Joong-Ik’s condition improved right after I entered the castle.”
=So, are you saying that you have no choice but to follow the castle and act as if you have nothing to do with Praber? If you don’t give physical evidence, Alsop won’t even think of stabbing or touching this side.=
“Okay.”
Isilite, who was listening to her story, murmured as she lightly stroked her soft and smooth forehead.
=There are a lot of things that we really need to pay attention to in politics…….=
“It is not a difficult story. It’s just a way to cover the sky with the palm of your hand.”
As long as it’s not just idiots gathered there, you’ll notice a connection between your brief stay in Praver Castle and the fact that the lord of Praver came to his senses.
However, as much as she values her justification, she will not be able to move only with her heart, and it is only an action aimed at the point that she will not be able to touch it because her social position is absolutely not low.
= But what about you? Miss Baek Chi-ryeong heard all of the story right now. Is it okay?=
“Yes.”
It was a short answer without any additional explanation, but the women nodded their heads without doubt at his answer.
If Baek Chi-ryeong’s behavior was no different from yesterday, they would have expressed their concerns. That self-respecting woman would be able to talk about the stories she heard here.
But now Baek Chi-ryeong is obedient, as if her pride had been castrated, and her rebelliousness is not really revealed.
All of them were Hwanin’s assistants last night… They were the ones who thought it was because the corporal punishment was effective.
After that, Hwan-in, who had a luxurious meal brought by her maids, left the castle with her girlfriends and even Baek Chi-ryeong.
Everyone wears a gray hooded robe, and Hwanin is in the state of a well-known green saint.
Then, Hwanin was guided by Baek Chi-ryeong, who was wearing the same gray hooded robe, to the plaza where her bloodstains were still left, one after another.
= There were a total of 17 public interrogation courts installed in the city. Each district was made one by one, and the place where the Holy Son created the pillar of light the day before yesterday was Judge No. 3.
Public Inquisition Tribunal. A place where those who behaved suspiciously were caught and executed in the name of trial.
A place where not a single one of those who were put on trial survived, and although it was only 50 days, it gave PTSD to the people of the city.
The methods of execution varied. In some places, guillotines were set up, and in some places, gallows were set up. In other places, burning was carried out, and in other places, burning was carried out using horses.
Although they have all been demolished now, the number of people executed in 17 courts for about 50 days exceeded 150.
Anne muttered with a displeased face.
=It’s a courthouse, it’s a death penalty.=
= Most of those who were publicly executed were criminals who committed mortal crimes. The details of the lord were not good, so they were like the leader of a violent group who took advantage of the gap and expanded their power underground.=
=Really? Wasn’t there a single innocent person?=
=…….=
= If all of them were criminals, wouldn’t Doryeong have such a hard expression? In addition, when I came in on the first day, what I learned while interacting with the spirit was the death penalty of an innocent person.
=…….=
At Anne’s disgusted reaction, Baek Chi-ryeong didn’t say anything and only lowered her head.
She knew her too. Prosecutors and investigations were not perfect, and innocent citizens disappeared in the dew of the executioner in some courts.
And the more women followed Hwanin, the more they felt negative feelings towards the Baek family.
According to Hwanin, most of them were members of criminal organizations, as Baek Chi-ryeong had said, but there were also quite a few non-criminals and innocent citizens.
His women showed great and small displeasure on their faces, but Hwanin had no particular thoughts.
He just regards this situation as a test of how to control the power of the pattern.
On the first day of visiting Prabur, regardless of his intentions, it is enough to experience his memories pouring in as he interacts with nine mixed prospects.
Hwanin put all his energy into making the power of the pattern his own by using the willpower he forged while manipulating the barrier panel and the mental strength reinforced by the Grimoam’s relic bracelet given to him by his Siha.
Block unwanted multi-sensory effects of distant souls. He also practices opening his heart to accept the memories of the spirits when he wants and only as much as he wants.
Twenty to forty souls were piled up in each court, so there were enough opponents to practice with.
In this way, while learning to control the power of the pattern from unintentionally interfering with his soul art more accurately, Hwanin proceeded to achieve the Buddhahood of the soul quite violently.
“What is it that remains as a soul and spreads resentment because it is unfair?”
「Oh, that’s unfortunate! It’s really unfair, Mr. Soul! The lord’s privates randomly dragged me in and slapped me, claiming that my behavior was suspicious…… !”
“In your 20 years of being in a criminal organization, you have killed and driven to death hundreds of people. Can I say that I feel unfair in front of such people?”
“Yes? Uh, how…… !”
“I don’t have the strength and energy to use a human like you to tell a lie in front of the soul corpse. Choose Will I attain Buddhahood right now, or will I perish?”
「Ok! Aww! Ha, I will! I will, please…… That’s it… !”
If you take out a balance, pour spiritual energy into a long stick, and hit it moderately, the soul will be hit with it, complaining of pain, and then attaining Buddhahood.
If the words do not work, they will be beaten to the point that the spiritual body is cut off.
Those who belonged to a criminal organization like that awakened their minds with waves of tranquility and then beat them to become Buddhas, and those who endured pain and sowed resentment like demons blew their heads off with soul arrows.
It is enough to recommend mercy once.
But really innocent people…….
“… There is not. All the family…… Being murdered…… I have nothing left…….”
“If you still want to set aside your grievance and achieve Buddhahood, I will help you.”
“If you don’t want to attain Buddhahood, will you annihilate me like they just did…?” … ?”
“How can you equate the soul of a criminal with the soul of an innocent victim who has lost his life? It just passes as if you didn’t see it.”
“… What are you going to do if I get mixed up and spray the ash…….”
“That’s something the lord family of Pravor and the citizens who pretended not to see, didn’t hear, pretended it wasn’t their business, and let you die unjustly, will have to endure.”
“…….”
“I will respect your decision. What would you like to do?”
“…… I want to stay. What will happen to this city, what will this end up like…… Until I see it with my own eyes, I can’t attain Buddhahood because I feel unfair and resentful…… !”
“All right. As a soul sage, I hope that what will happen in the future will bring some comfort to your sorrow.”
「Kuh……. Ugh…….”
Could it be because he went from court to court and fired countless waves of peace?
Soon, rumors began to spread throughout the city that the green saint of Bijalux was having sexual misfortune going around the former courthouse.
The reaction was more than Hwanin expected.
As soon as people heard the news, they abandoned or quit their livelihoods and jobs, and started to gather, running from judge to judge following the rumors.
By the time Hwanin arrived at the fourth court and was undergoing sexual misfortune, countless people gathered to form a cloud-like crowd.
Around that time, Isilite took out the Redrick Alter and summoned multiple swords to block people from approaching, and Anne also took out the hammer of punishment and the shield of the castle wall and built a wall to prevent people from approaching the Hwanin.
Yu Lepa also took out her staff and, with the help of the fantasy between her breastbones, floated large attribute beads of fire, water and wind around her body, creating a sense of intimidation.
At first glance, it was an action to protect Hwanin from a crowd of close to 10,000 people beyond thousands, but…….
= Holy Son, Holy Son…….=
= Ah…….=
= You are the beast god…….=
The crowd kept their distance and only knelt toward Hwanin or put their hands together to offer prayers for the missing brothers and sisters of the deceased family.
In the middle, when Hwanin spreads waves of tranquility, people who have received the effect of tranquility burst into tears or sob in tears.
Hwanin gathered like a cloud, but after looking back at the people who never came within 100m, he murmured softly.
“It’s rotting from the inside more seriously than I thought.”
At Hwanin’s small voice, all of Baekryeogang’s aura is exhausted, and Baekryeogang’s expression becomes blurred.
“I didn’t even imagine it would be like this…….」
Baek Joong-ik must be on the move, but is he really aware of this situation?
Depending on whether you move after recognizing that the situation is more serious than you think, or whether you move with a moderate condescension, the result will be as different as the sky and the earth.
The sexual misfortune that took place in the morning instilled considerable expectations and hopes in the citizens of the city.
If he moves in an appropriately condescending way, compared to his own sexual misfortune, the fuse may be set on fire with thoughts like “Are you kidding me?”
‘A while ago, someone who seemed to be a member of the Changchun Knights was secretly following me…….’
Now it’s not noticeable If the report goes up, Baek Gongja is not stupid, so he will recognize that the situation is serious.
If that’s the case, I’d better pack something in moderation.
Hwanin, who looked at the crowd praying for a while looking at him like the Messiah, said to Baek Ryeo-gang.
“Lygang. Go back to your room first. Fantastic, you too.”
“Yes?”
“Why?”
“I will spread a pillar of light.”
“Ouch, okay.”
“Yes, Mr. Hwanin.”
Hwanyeon first soars high into the sky like an arrow and flies to the castle. Baekryeogang also looked at him, bowed to Hwanin, bowed his head, and followed him.
When the two of them are far enough away, Hwanin draws out about 20% of the power of the pattern and concentrates his mind at the same time…….
“…….”
He raised his fist to the mark on his chest and fired a wave of serenity.
Doo kung——
A flash of light extends from the top of Hwanin’s head and pierces the sky.
Following them, a grayish-white light burst out like an explosion and became a pillar, tearing up the clouds and covering the vast square at the same time.
* * *
Upon hearing the report that the saint’s party was going out of the castle, Baek Jung-gang gave instructions to the Changchun Knights just in case with genuine concern and concern.
The Changchun Knights must be ready to mobilize within 10 seconds when the signal is received. And the two knights will secretly escort the saint’s party in plain clothes.
It was said to watch from a distance and to intervene immediately if a problem arises with the saint’s party.
One of those knights hurriedly returned and reported…….
=The mood of the city’s citizens is not good.=
= Please explain clearly. How can you say it’s not good?=
=The atmosphere that regards the saint as a savior is spreading. An estimated 15,000 people have already gathered in the courthouse area we visited on the fourth visit, and most of them are praying to the Holy Son. It was a look of concern that the anger of the citizens might be directed toward the castle.=
=…….=
At the report of the article, Baek Joong-gang understood the seriousness of the situation at once.
It is not a problem to regard the Son as the savior. However, to think that a crowd of 15,000 people gathered due to sexual misfortune.
It is natural for people to gather toward salvation. The problem is that so many people gathered in that short amount of time.
Doesn’t that mean that the people’s hearts are filled with anger and they are hoping for hope?
‘I didn’t know until things got this serious.’
No, in normal times, the complaints would have slowly decreased without needing to care.
However, when people have something to believe in and believe in, they sometimes change somewhat blindly.
And there was a comparison target called a saint. If the situation is adequately dealt with, the dissatisfaction will not decrease, and the anger of the citizens can pour into the family.
The anger and riots of ordinary citizens are not a big deal, but the fact that there is a saint behind it and that the cooperation of citizens is important for the plan proposed by the saint presses Baek Joong-gang’s concerns and worries.
Doo kung——
Then the chest… Not only that, but a sound wave that seemed to vibrate the entire body once passed through, piercing the heart heavily.
=…… ?!=
= What! What happened?!=
=Rain, a pillar of light! The grayish-white pillar of light that occurred three days ago rose again from the northwest direction of the city!!=
Suddenly, Baek Joong-gang jumped up to the point where his chair fell backwards, and immediately ran to the terrace and looked northwest.
And at the sight of the majestic tower of light soaring up into the sky, Baekjung-gang felt the cotton feathers all over his body stand on end.
Undoubtedly. That is a signal from the Holy Son to raise the response level of the citizens to himself as the situation is very serious.
=… Aide! Summon all the nobles in the family right now! I will come to see my father!=
=Old!!=
Baekjunggang ran hard toward the lord’s residence with his short legs, feeling the tension in his beak as his saliva dried up and his heart tightened.
