Chapter 398 – 392 Port City Praver
Baek Jung-gang summoned his family’s servants to the audience room and ran to Baek Joong-ik to explain what had happened and asked the white officials to devise follow-up measures and countermeasures.
And Baek Joong-gang himself immediately ran to the place where the pillar of light appeared, leading the Changchun Knights and the Sky Knights, who had been put on standby.
If a pillar of light came up, it means that there was a confusion or something went wrong. And that the saint is there.
What Baek Joong-gang paid attention to was the biggest disaster of Bijalux among the mixed events that occurred in the past 20 years.
Confusion breaks out in most of the villages and villages that do not have the capacity to invite a spirit master or are located in remote areas.
The more the city, the more likely it is that there will be a mixture. The reason is that if you are at the level of the lord of the city, you will periodically invite a spirit priest to prevent a mixture even for the sake of your family and proceed with the ascension ceremony.
Even so, it’s a human thing, so there are places where it’s missing. Most of those places are the back alleys where the lord’s eyes either do not reach or refuse to reach them.
However, the residents of the underworld react more sensitively to the mixture.
Since they cannot expect the mercy and benefits of such a lord, they spread the Ilil flowers, called mixed induction flowers and salvation flowers given by the gods, around their business sites and bases, and furthermore, they treat people far away from their bases. Is to destroy
As a result, the larger and wider the city, the less likely it is that confusion will occur. The confusion that broke out in Bijalux a while ago was the first catastrophe that occurred within a powerful family in decades.
Because of this, the nobles of Radsea paid attention to the catastrophe of Bijalux, and thoroughly analyzed the reason so that the same thing would not happen within the family.
It was the same with Baekjunggang that paid attention to the cause. And in the course of the investigation, I learned that Honjae can be properly matured in just a few days and born with resentment and hatred, and that Honjae born in such a mature state can be manipulated like a limb by brainwashing and mind-controlling even a 4th-class professional knight.
Then, what will happen if a crowd of 15,000 people gathers and there is confusion?
It is said that the Holy Son has great spirit knights called Sword Princess and Holy Fighter, but if only three people are covered by an army of 15,000 people who do not know fear and never retreat…… !
Burr—
Baekjunggang, who was overcome with chills just thinking about it, rode his favorite bird, the orange Que, along with Changchun and 52 sky knights, and galloped along the main street where traffic stopped while being possessed by a pillar of light.
= Silfurte, run! Run!!=
Queueek~!!
Doo doo doo…… !
Performing dazzling and splendid Que riding techniques, it steps on the roof of a wagon on a congested road and soars up, runs on the outer wall of a building, jumps onto the roof, and shows the knights the way to follow by jumping on the roof.
I feel like my mouth is dry and my blood is running dry even though I’m running on a road that is only 2km.
Five minutes like an hour passed. Baek Jung-gang and the drivers arrived at the main square in the northwest direction of Prabur, recording a lap time that would have won first place by an overwhelming margin if they had participated in the Que race…….
= Huh…….=
=…….=
= Uh…….=
I couldn’t think of anything at the sight that unfolded in front of my eyes and put on a bewildered expression.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo -—
As if hundreds or thousands of light spirits were dancing in a plaza filled with gray-white light, light drops fluttered and swam through the air.
A crowd of 15,000 people knelt down towards the center of the pillar of light under such a choreography of light.
And the green saint standing alone in their gaze.
Goosebumps ran over Baekjunggang’s small and compact body at the mysterious yet holy and majestic sight.
=…….=
At the same time, I received a huge psychological shock.
She wondered if she had ever been worshiped and worshiped like that by the citizens.
When you show up in the city center, people show interest and a little respect. But there are more people who sneakily avoid it. There are far more people who feel burdened to find themselves and go back the way they came.
Seeing the citizens who show awe toward Hwanin without any misguided thoughts, the desire to be worshiped and respected by people in the same way arises.
Even if it’s not enough to be worshiped by people I’ve never seen before, like a saint, I want to be respected at least by the citizens of the city I’ll rule.
Such a desire warmed his heart and made his heart warm.
When the little baby penguin was developing a more specific and clear goal in life, Hwan-in found Baek Joong-gang and knights haunting a corner of the plaza and was conceiving a series of plans in his head.
‘It’s a pity that I sent Baeknyeogang.’
I never thought an actor would appear along with the stage.
If there was Baekryeogang, he would inject her with spiritual energy and focus a series of streams on her in relation to her sexual misfortune, transforming her into a saint of self-sacrifice and restoring her reputation. I would have been able to solve the piled image and reputation problem at once.
Hwanin clicked his tongue inwardly.
There are several alternative measures, but the route is the way to concentrate the achievements on both Baekjunggang and the powerful family.
There is no reason not to help the Baek family now, but there is no reason to help, so Hwan-in, who destroyed all the plans he had conceived, approached Baek Jung-gang, who was riding an orange Que.
=…… Saint.=
“I think I surprised you.”
=Oh, no.=
Paik Joong-gang, who came to his senses and hastily jumped off his back, ran to Hwan-in and bowed his head as if embarrassed.
= I’m stuck believing that the saint is in a dangerous situation and stop…….=
‘Did you guess that the confusion occurred when you saw the pillar of light I opened?’
I’m not saying it to be nice to hear from your face or for flattery.
Then…….
Hwanin raised his head and looked around at the knights who were also under Hajo, then gave his gaze to Baekjunggang, who looked up to him.
“Captain Baek. Do you know why this situation happened?”
=…… I think that the complaints of the citizens have reached a critical point, and they have gathered to pray for salvation and well-being from the Holy Son.=
This is good enough.
As Hwanin brought out one of the discarded ideas, pretending to be friendly, he put his arm around Baek Joong-gang’s shoulder and led him to the center of the plaza, a platform used for performances and events.
“You’re right. Right now, the hearts of citizens are rotting with anxiety and fear. Internally, because of the lord, externally, because of Alsop.”
=…….=
“If we proceed halfway with this situation, the situation will get worse out of control. To prevent such a situation, they need a light that shines deep into their hearts.”
The only person who can be such a light and who can remove people’s anxiety at the source in a peaceful way is Baek Joong-gang, Baek Joong-ik’s son and confirmed as the next lord.
Citizens’ dissatisfaction and distrust may prevail over the fact that he is his son, but if you look at it differently, his father’s karma can be adjusted in such a way that the son is trying to relieve it.
Now everyone has achieved mental stability with the light pillar of tranquility. If you use that point, you can easily pull out a reversal of perception.
Hwanin continued speaking in a low voice, feeling the citizens who were casting questioning glances at him and Baekjunggang.
“If you successfully shine the light, the image improvement task that would take a long time will be solved at once. Now is the time when people are more focused and interested.”
=Uh.=
“Can you do something to relieve people’s anxiety and show everyone a hopeful future?”
=I’ll try.=
Even if it is not so, early this morning, after the saint’s warning, I prepared a speech in front of the public, seeking a way to resolve and soothe people’s dissatisfaction.
The original plan was to focus everyone’s attention and attention and then announce the compensation plan and future actions to change the atmosphere in one shot, but…….
‘Now, with just a few words, I can instill faith in people.’
There is no need to announce the reward immediately.
Even if the family apologizes to everyone for what has happened so far and the family will do their best to compensate for the sacrifices of innocent citizens, a lot of faith will return.
Because the saint is by your side!
Hwanin smiled invisibly as he looked at the cute baby penguin in a royal uniform as he bravely climbed the 3m high platform.
Please successfully win the hearts of the people in the city and quickly normalize Prabur…….
‘I want you to mentally pressure Althof.’
To make their own activities more comfortable, so that the level of raiders and raiders they will send towards them will be lowered so that they can grind them down, so that Althof’s power melts like ice cream under the scorching sun.
[Respected citizens. Please listen to me for a moment.]
A clear, clear voice spread far beyond the plaza, perhaps using a volume amplification magic tool.
[My name is Baek Joong-gang, the leader of the Changcheon Knights, the first son of Lord Baek Joong-ik, and the next lord of the confirmed Prabur.]
[The reason why I am standing here urgently with the Holy Son’s permission is to apologize for causing a great wound in the hearts of the citizens…….]
[The fault of betraying your faith and losing your family…….]
And as Baek Joong-gang’s sincere and passionate speeches continued, a bit of faith began to flow from the faces of the citizens who were angry and distrustful of the identity of the person standing on the podium.
Baek Joong-gang’s speech contained a passion and spirit that warmed people’s hearts.
People feel it too, and look at it as the only hope to overcome this gloomy situation from ‘the son of the lord who stole our family from us’.
Hwanin laughed a little thicker as he watched Baekjunggang continue his roaring speech amid the fading pillar of light.
= Wow, Dew. Doryeong is laughing sinisterly again. =
=Anne, it’s not insidious…… Not…….=
=Isn’t that sinister?=
=…….=
= Miss Anne is also true. It’s just that it looks a bit sinister to us, but it’s okay because it will look like a benevolent smile to others.
…… Did the smile come out?
At the whispers of his girlfriends, Hwanin purred, correcting her expression and stroking her lips.
Baek Joong-gang’s speech was very effective.
Difficult words used only by the nobles were excluded as much as possible. Also, his remarks were full of strength, passion, and spirit, and I could feel that he was apologizing with all his heart.
The contents were also not spilled as if they were drunk with water or alcohol, but said that they would officially announce a compensation plan for the citizens who suffered damage due to this situation by announcing the exact time the day after tomorrow.
It is a common world for barbarians to slit the throats of ordinary people when they commit wrongdoing against ordinary people, asking if they dare to confront the barons with a red flag.
However, the highest-ranking member of the city, a person who would not be guilty of murdering the same member of the family if there was a just cause, apologized with sincerity.
There’s no way it won’t work.
The people present talked about the story to their acquaintances, who spread it to other acquaintances, and the city newspaper published an unusual extra edition and sold the newspaper containing Baek Joong-gang’s speech as an extra.
Thanks to this, Baek Joong-gang’s speech spread like fire in a field of reeds in an instant, all over Praver.
And Baek Jung-gang was in a position to be listened to by Baek Jung-ik and the old retainers of the family for his actions.
= If you ask him if he had to do it on the spot, he will answer that he should have done it. =
=…….=
=…….=
=The family has a lot of money, but it is not infinite. Even now, Asof’s battleships are circulating the fjord and carrying out military provocations, this side also deploys battleships for defense, and hundreds of gold coins are evaporating every month.=
Even if it is a measure to protect merchant ships, it is useless compared to usual, and due to such disputes, logistics transportation is often delayed and delayed.
Passenger ships have already stopped at the southern port town of Jordan, avoiding Prabher, and the number of visitors continues to decrease and tourism income is also decreasing.
=In a situation where damage is piling up like clothes getting wet in drizzle, internal discord should not be treated with time, but special measures should be taken to promote unity among citizens.=
At the family meeting, where even his Hwanin stood as observers, Baek Jung-gang expressed his will in front of Baek Jung-ik and his retainers with strong confidence that his actions could not have been wrong.
= Even so, would it be necessary for the future lord to step forward in front of the people? He might not have had to use an agent…….=
=Is that what you say in front of the one who is in the highest position and does good in the lowest place!=
The sparrow-headed Noh Ga-sin, who opened his mouth at Baekjunggang’s force of shouting, shrugged his shoulders.
=It is an undeniable story that a family’s prestige, honor, and pride cannot be exchanged for anything! But even that can only be achieved when there are people who need to rule and take care of it! The baron’s pride is only valuable when you can be a baron!=
No vassal dared to protest against Baek Joong-gang’s statement, “How ugly and ugly is the pride of a person who has nothing to protect.”
As such, Baek Joong-gang’s momentum was unstoppable.
In the eyes of the retainers, the current Baek Joong-gang was not the son of Baek Joong-ik and the next lord, but the rightful lord of Prabur.
=You speak well.=
Baek Joong-ik, who was sitting on the throne leading the old man, made a remark and all the eyes of those gathered in the audience hall turned to Baek Joong-ik.
=…… I’ll see how you keep that word going forward. The vassals should do their best to move in unity according to the will of Zhonggang.
=Yes, Father.=
==Yes!!==
After the meeting was disbanded and the relevant working-level officials gathered and before the second discussion began, Baek Joong-gang spoke to Hwan-in looking tired but not losing his energy.
= I really feel like it’s not enough even if I say thank you to the saint over and over again. How should I repay you…….=
“Don’t forget that feeling and spread your selection.”
Baekjunggang looked at Hwanin, who was not greedy at all, with intense eyes for a moment, then bowed down at him.
= I will do as you say. And I will take this opportunity to clear all the stigma of his second sister, so please watch over me. =
Three days after that.
The reaction was to some extent as expected by Hwanin.
Baek Jung-gang’s speech had a positive effect on the servants and maids who worked in the castle as well as the people who worked in all places of the castle.
What Hwanin felt when he first visited Praver Castle along the Baekjunggang River was an unstable feeling like a castle built on sand.
The anxiety caused by the absence of a person who would be the pivot and the sense of crisis caused by the pressure of Alsop were felt in the atmosphere of the maids and attendants working in the castle.
However, although there may be some anxiety due to the opponent named Alsop, the atmosphere was unwaveringly stable.
It was thanks to Baek Joong-gang’s presence that became so intense that even Baek Joong-ik’s shadow escaped in just a few days.
Citizens outside were more sympathetic than those close to the center of Praver.
This gave rise to the belief that if the nobles knew how to bow their heads to the citizens, they would take more interest in their lives and make the city a better place to live.
In the meantime, as the green saint of Bijalux continued to purify the soul and attain Buddhahood by going around the terrible court, the citizens were able to shake off their anxiety and enjoy a peaceful daily life for the first time in a long time.
And the day of the announcement of the promised administrative compensation plan.
= This is really…… ?=
= Huh. The families whose families were massacred were buried in the church, and the deceased were compensated with 5 gold coins per person, including the family…….=
=Hey, be honest. It’s not compensation, it’s compensation, compensation.=
= Huh? Is there a difference between compensation and compensation?=
= Aigo. To think you had such an idiot as a friend.=
= Okay, please explain. What’s the difference?=
=Compensation is to compensate for the damage suffered even though it was legitimate, and reparation is to admit that you have done something wrong and pay back the damage. So, Gongja Baek acknowledged the family’s mistake.=
= Oh…. Did the baron lord really do that?=
Compensation of 5 gold coins per person in the event of death in the family.
If there is no family to receive compensation, the family graves are placed in a public cemetery managed by the city administrator and managed for the next 100 years.
Finally, an apology in the name of Baek Joong-gang.
It was an incomparable compensation plan that Hwanin saw, but the citizens murmured that this alone was amazing, and some even said that the city would become more livable if Baekjunggang became the lord.
The invisible gloom and gloomy atmosphere that enveloped the city were diluted at once…….
“Has that person’s soul also attained enlightenment?”
Public opinion towards the lord and family of the city turned from negative to very positive, to the extent that the soul of a man who had lost not only his life but also his family to the lord and his family and cried out that he would watch over the future of the lord’s family became a Buddha.
On the way back after purifying the last place among the 17 judges.
Citizens laugh and chat and rejoice as if they were depressed at an open-air pub on the street, and Hwan-in feels a bit…… No. I was a little bit startled.
‘It’s a yard without a union, but it’s on the harsh side.’
I didn’t expect until Revolution. Still, it is a yard where dozens or even hundreds of innocent citizens died.
I wondered if the improvement of citizens’ rights and interests would be achieved, but I never thought I would be ignorant enough to be satisfied and happy to this extent.
At this level, he was unfoundedly confident that he would be able to do politics himself, and this is why he thinks that the Tribal Union City is taking over the dimensional wanderers with the ideology of Earth.
=Master?=
Seeing Hwanin suddenly stop walking and stare at the open-air bar, Isilite asks what’s going on and sticks closer.
“It is nothing. I will go back.”
That’s right, it’s nothing to know about the lives of people you don’t even know. I just need to care about my girls.
Hwanin, muttering so to herself as she watched Baekryeogang gazing at her street with her bright, unwrinkled face, as if delighted with her lively and brightened streets, found her Anne grabbing her own sleeve. I felt and looked back at her.
It looked likeheheard something from Baek Chi-ryeong when he said something.
= Doryeong, Doryeong Doryeong! Wait a minute! Hey bastard. Is that true?=
= I didn’t say it was real. By the way, the dark beer in that bar is so good that I sometimes order her lady-in-waiting to run errands and drink it. If you try it, you will never regret it.=
= Doryeoong. Now, the work at Prabur is over. Why don’t we buy some dark beer and have a party?!=
Huh? Huh? Please!
Hwanin, who was momentarily hardened by her beauty as she earnestly looked at her as if begging, smiled and turned her head.
“There’s nothing wrong with that.”
=Thank you!=
=Wait! Anne, there will be a big commotion if you go there. Give me the money and I’ll buy it myself.=
=What, do you have no money?=
=… All my property has been confiscated by the family. All I have is this set of clothes and a body that doesn’t look like mine…….=
= Uh, uh okay. Stop lamenting about your situation and buy as much money as you can with this. Let’s all drink together.=
= I will. If you have a subspace pouch, please.=
=Oh, if that’s the case, master? I’ll stop by the grocery store over there for a while. I’ll make snacks to eat at the after party.=
「Hwanin. I want to try that star-shaped candy over there.”
= Huh? Ah, honey. I also went to the general store over there for a while…….=
“I’ll be waiting for you here, so everyone go.”
=Yes!=
=Yes.=
“Yurupa, come with me!”
=Yes, yes.=
With his permission, the women dispersed in groups and head to the shopping district.
Watching the girls disappear happily, Hwanin smiles and looks back at Bisang standing next to him.
“Other people don’t care. Isn’t that right, emergency.”
Coo? Kuheung.
He was a Hwanin who calmly watched the band dancing and singing while petting Bisang, who asked to be stroked.
