Chapter 440 – 434 Akret Village
In a world where monsters exist, a policy to divide the inside and outside of the town is not an option, but a necessity.
For that reason, villages and villages are usually built on high ground, or on cliffs, valleys, and forests.
This is because if a village or village is formed in a low-lying area, a monster or beast that has discovered the lights of a private house on a higher elevation than the village may come to visit.
In a similar sense, the minimum fence is 4m, and in the case of a house species village where tall species live, it is even higher than 7m.
Surrounding the village of Akret is a 5-meter-high fortification wall built with trees, rocks, and stones.
The total length of the wall was about 8 km, and it was enclosing a space where a small city could be built on Earth.
And Hwanin, accompanied by Baeknyeogang and Hwanyeon, was looking around at the panoramic view of the village inside the wall from the highest place in the village.
Hwanyeon sticks out only his head from his breast pocket and exhales exhaledly before speaking softly.
「Hmm. The air is clear. The cemetery seems to be well maintained.”
“Do you feel that way?”
“In places where there are many souls who have not attained Buddhahood, there is a musty smell and the air is stuffy. I found out because I went with you.”
The current location was the one and only church of the beast god in the village, and the graveyard next to it.
Hwanin looked around.
Near the cathedral, there was a fairly large charnel house and graveyard. Only about 100 tombstones were visible, and the charnel house was large enough to store hundreds of jars of bone powder.
Here, flowers with the flower language of comforting the soul are covering the graveyard along with Ilil flowers, and trees that suppress the negative energy are growing majesticly as if protecting the graveyard.
In a place like this, it often happens that the soul maintains its sense without losing it, and it also attracts the spirits from nearby areas.
Seeing that souls usually remain in this world with lingering attachments, it becomes difficult for a soul with reason to attain Buddhahood.
Halfway intellect raises the threshold of satisfaction.
In this way, souls continue to pile up, but there are only five souls here. This is the part where you can see how well the village manages to prepare for the soul.
After touring the church, graveyard, and village once, Hwanin looked down at the village and said,
“Should I just go back?”
“Yes? Aren’t you going to make them come true?」
Baek Ryo-gang, neatly wearing a blue hooded robe dress made by Yu Lepa, lifted the hood slightly and opened her eyes wide.
What about the illusion of that word? He asks.
“What. Until now, I have never had sex misfortune in the place I stopped by. But are you just leaving?”
“Since the spirits here seem to be kind and gentle, there is no reason to immediately become a Buddha, and we judged that nothing dangerous would happen if we did not become a Buddha as much as the cathedral exists. And in a few months, the Celestial Festival will be held, so they will ascend to heaven at that time.”
As a result of carefully responding to them so as not to fall deeply into their memories, it was not that all of those souls had great regrets and did not reach Buddhahood.
It was just a pity to part with this livable and peaceful village, and that was the reason why it remained as a soul.
One person harbors a little strong lingering attachment, but even that person had thoughts of attaining Buddhahood soon. At that level, even if you leave it alone, you will be able to achieve it on your own.
Of course, there are other reasons as well. It was a problem that they were hiding their identities in order to make them become Buddhas.
When I entered the village, I did not announce that it was a spirit company. The saint hid his identity with various magic tools.
In a situation like this, a soul without an aura suddenly appears?
Everyone will notice your identity, and then the meaning of deliberately hiding your identity will disappear.
Secretly having sexual misfortune is also a problem. If you look at the current atmosphere of the village, the possibility of being treated as a suspicious person increases.
“It’s not something that you can’t pass by after seeing a lot of souls, so I decided to pass on the sexual misfortune in Akret Village.”
Hwanyeon and Baekryogang nodded their heads at a reason that was reasonable for them to hear.
“Not having an aura is helpful for hiding your true identity, but sometimes it becomes too convincing evidence and it’s difficult.”
“I also want to see Hwanin-nim’s aura. It must be very noble and sacred.”
Hwan-yeon is dumbfounded by Baek Ryeo-gang’s bright story, then asks again.
“Suddenly?”
“Yes?”
“It’s true that you talked about the aura, but the point was to talk about the usefulness and disadvantages of hiding your true identity. But suddenly you want to see Hwanin’s aura?”
“… Ah.”
Bai Liogang expresses her embarrassment with her whole body, then covers her face with her hands in embarrassment. While Hwan-yeon sighed at that idiotic beauty, she said to Hwan-in.
“He is really funny. If you look at it, during the conversation, like now, you sometimes say the wrong thing?”
「Ugh~.」
Baek Ryeo-gang groaned with tears in his eyes, telling him not to speak. Her Hwanin looked at her like that, then turned her head and gave her gaze to her soul, which cautiously approached her this way.
“The intelligence quotient of a person is called IQ. If this IQ differs by more than 30, it is said that conversation does not work well.”
“I wonder how IQ is measured, but……. What is the reason?」
“I think the difference comes from literacy. For example, if you give a topic A, it is said that the context of the conversation is that it passes through B and C in turn and leads to D. At this time, when a person with a high IQ is given a topic A, he skips B and C and arrives at D…… That was the claim.”
“Five. So, on the subject of aura, Ryogangi thought about the pros and cons of not manifesting an aura by himself, skipped steps B and C, and came to the conclusion of step D, ‘So I want to see what Hwanin’s aura is like’?”
“Lyegang is a master of green magic. She can’t be called stupid as she used to be a wind magician in her lifetime. It is my opinion that he thinks faster and deeper than others, and unconsciously draws conclusions that surpass others.”
“Really?”
“…….」
Bai Lijiang took her own side and gave her a sweet gaze in amazement at her Hwanin, who read her thoughts accurately, and nodded her head shyly.
Neither her parents nor her siblings could understand her like this, and they accused her of being a stupid bitch or a bitch who was distracted, saying, ‘That’s always something else’…….
‘Ah.’
At that moment, a lightning-like realization came to Baeknyeogang.
Isilite, the swordswoman, Anne, the holy warrior, and Yurpa, the 6th-class mystic.
All three of them are women with the skills and personalities to lead a sect or group wherever they go.
If she has that kind of ability, she must inevitably have a strong assertive personality, and if that’s the case, then it’s generally accepted that her possessiveness is formidable.
However, from Isilite, Anne, and Yurpa to the rare half-human, half-spirit Hwanyeon… They only look at Hwanin, do not quarrel with each other, do not show greed, and get along well.
Baek Ryogang was convinced that the biggest reason for that was the appearance her Hwanin had just shown. And her confidence was almost right.
Unbridled energy. Wizardry. Great looks. High level of understanding here.
‘Ha…….’
Baek Ryogang looked at Hwanin’s back, put her hand on her chest, and let out a trembling sigh.
She had fallen in love with him from the beginning, and when they met again, she was captivated by his thoughtfulness.
And she was very sorry for the loss of her physical body.
The feeling of being embraced by him with one’s own body, and the feeling of wanting to make him feel good by using one’s body wells up like spring water.
If only he somehow survived. If I had been holding on, wouldn’t he have come and solved the problem?
‘That’s an idea that I can do now, but…….’
Sadness and earnestness seep into her eyes, and her heart toward him grows stronger.
I can’t ascend like this. At least until Hwanin-nim sees the end of this journey…….
Hwanin was staring at the spirits approaching him, not noticing that Baekryeogang’s resolve was getting stronger.
What is it The way you look at me is full of surprise.
“I…… Are you going to become a spirit master?”
“… How did you know?”
“Ah! He was also a spirit master. When I saw a large ball of light approaching from afar, I was terrified, not knowing what kind of strange phenomenon it was.”
This is the story of the most advanced soul among the five, a male soul resembling a mixed dog.
A light that shone like the sun from under the hill, but was not dazzling, approached and was no longer approaching or moving away from the edge of the graveyard.
At first, it was the will of the beast god to punish those who remained without reaching Buddhahood, but the light was not threatening and felt gentle, so he could not stand his curiosity and questions and came to the story.
“It’s a big light…….”
Hwanin couldn’t help but bewilderment at the story of the soul.
What does this mean? It is a great light. I have met many souls and have attained Buddhahood, but this is the first soul to say such a thing.
“Lygang. How do I see myself in your eyes?”
“Although Hwanin-nim’s appearance is dazzling…… I think it has a different meaning than the light they are talking about.”
“…….”
Hwanin looked back on the past for a moment.
Could it have something to do with what I experienced in the abandoned village of Linden?
Hwanin frowned slightly as he remembered the eyes that covered the sky and a huge, brilliant tree that lit up the universe.
Even so, the spirits of Hravan Village had the same reaction as the spirits they encountered on a daily basis.
The spirits of the wild dog warriors whom they met and killed on the northern coast were not the reactions of seeing the light they were talking about, and the same was true of the White Ryeo River.
“Ah, what kind of light do you see? I don’t understand.”
Hwanin paid attention to the story of the young girl among the five approaching souls.
The anthropomorphic man speaks to the girl as if he is frustrated.
“You can really see it?! Didn’t you say you could see Luca too!」
“Grandpa and Luka-san have already been souls for 12 years. Aren’t you looking at strange nonsense to turn into a mixture?”
“Such a damned bastard! Who is going to turn into a mixture!”
「Kyaa! Against violence!”
Hwanin restrained the conversation of the spirits and questioned them again.
The question of which of the five people sees themselves as the light and how many years they remain as spirits.
And from the answer that came back, Hwanin realized the exact reason.
‘Only those who have been in the soul for a long time see me as a light.’
If you stay as a soul for a long time, will your spiritual eyes be opened?
You never know how long you have to be a soul to see yourself as a ball of light. What is certain is that the experience in Linden Village was the trigger.
But what caused this change?
For a moment, Hwanin looked at the light covering his left arm, then closed his eyes and put aside his doubts.
In a situation where there are no clues, the only thing you get from clinging to a question is nervousness and growing curiosity.
Excessive curiosity and nervousness will only harm the mind.
Hwanin asked the souls who had approached him if they wanted to become a Buddha. And as I guessed in my heart, they cautiously received an answer that they still wanted to stay as spirits.
“Why is that? If you hold out for a long time without attaining Buddhahood, your soul may become entangled in lingering lingering thoughts and become corrupt.”
「Yes. The spirit priest who visited us during the last Seungryeong Cheonje also said the same thing. However, there is someone I really want to see before ascending…….」
“Is the person you want to see your family?”
“No. You are the saintess of Yeongdo. She met him only once in her life, during the reign of Heaven, and at that time she was terribly shocked. I still remember that day clearly.”
The humanoid man remembered the shock for the rest of his life and said that he died after living a normal life.
“When I came to my senses again, I was a soul. And it was only then that he realized that he had longed unconsciously to see the saintess again.”
“…….”
“If she had realized that fact in her lifetime, she would have gone on a pilgrimage to Yeongdo…… I was so stupid that I only found what I really wanted to do after I died. But I can’t get out of this place with my soul state.」
The man said that he had been waiting for his saintess to visit again for more than 10 years.
“I did…… The Spirit Master said. It can fall into confusion. It is as you said. It was getting harder and harder to keep up. The Ascension Heaven Festival will surely be the last this year.”
「Grandpa. Are you saying you’re going to ascend to heaven only after seeing the Ascension Celestial Festival this year?”
“Okay. If I were to become a mixed race, it would cause a great burden to the village. On this Ascension Day, whether or not he comes, I intend to attain Buddhahood.”
The story flowed from the mouth of the spirit, but it was a story that was not interested in Hwanin.
Returning to the inn, Hwanin was immersed in thought as he watched the girlfriends, who had been in a mess from giving a warm heart, trimming the food ingredients to a cleaner appearance.
I thought about it on the way back, but it was because I thought that I shouldn’t pass it off as just being an old soul seeing myself in a big light.
But for now, there are too few clues for thinking and reasoning.
‘There is a possibility that it has nothing to do with the dream I had in Linden Village.’
As soon as he returned, he called and asked the spirits of the wild dog warriors who had come to their senses, but they were no different from Baekryeogang.
In desperation, Hwanin brushed his bangs.
Up to this point, his awakening was at a level that could be explained in the common sense part of this world. However, starting from Linden Village, a change that even he cannot understand is taking place.
According to Yurpa, he has the ability to channel physical damage to himself, but there is no way to find out through verification.
He tried to hit his arm or leg with a suitable cane, but the pain was transmitted as it was, and he tried to lift a dagger, but the damage reduction effect did not occur.
Here’s what we learned today.
There is a noticeable change in yourself, but you don’t know where the change came from or how the effect of such a change occurs. That came as a great stress to Hwanin.
‘Is it just a matter of going to Yeongdo and checking it out?’
Hwanin stared at the light covering his left arm for a while.
Next day.
Perhaps because he thought too deeply last night, Hwanin lost consciousness in Linden Village and dreamed again of the dream he had.
A huge tree that shines white and brightens the dark space. And one eye that covers the black sky and gazes at himself with pupils containing black holes.
Later, only the white light of the tree and the one-eyed black hole-like iris remained, covering the world in confusion.
And the unidentified and incomprehensible voices heard.
The second dream left a deep mental fatigue unlike the first dream.
=… Master? You look very tired…… Are you okay?=
= It’s true. It’s dark under my eyes Did you use too much energy yesterday?
Such a change was immediately discovered by them.
As soon as she woke up in the morning, Isilite, who had fallen asleep in the same bed because it was her last turn last night, noticed, and Anne, who had come in under the excuse of waking them up, also noticed Hwanin’s fatigue.
“Hwanin-nim, did you have a nightmare?”
“…… Did you notice it?”
“Yes. It was similar to the expression I make after having a nightmare.”
Afterwards, Baek Ryeo-gang, who came in to say good-bye, quickly saw why Hwan-in was tired.
=What nightmare did you have?=
“I only saw the scene in Linden Village as a dream. I had something to think about, so I thought deeply about that part, so it must have been influenced.”
= If that’s the case, I wouldn’t worry…….=
Yurpa suggests that the nightmare of the illusionist may not be a mere nightmare.
=I don’t know about Doryong, but in this world, there are monsters with mental bodies that make you have nightmares and eat mental pain. That’s what her sister is talking about. Just in case, let’s not have sex tonight and just sleep. I’ll hit the mental barrier with holy spells from the side.=
Hwanin, who wondered if there was such a thing, collected their opinions without saying anything.
That’s because they’re experts.
Morning training was skipped. While she was complaining of mental fatigue, it was because she was a little unsure of her precision strikes and power control, so it was because of the judgment that she could inflict great damage on them.
After that, after having a hearty breakfast, the group left the village of Akret and headed for the eastern branch of the Jungle of Emit.
The destination is a forest road used by travelers and merchants heading to Alsof or Fraver.
= Doryeong. Come over here for a second.=
While leaving Akret Village and moving for a while, Anne called Hwanin into the carriage.
Hwanin entered, wondering what was going on, and stared blankly as Anne pulled back her top, exposing one breast.
The expression of Yurpa, who was reading the magic book she bought from Prabur, must be similar to her now.
Hwanin asked Anne, who sat with her legs together on her cushion and tapped her thighs.
“I don’t quite understand. May I ask for an explanation?”
=Don’t sit there, lie down here on my thigh.=
“…….”
First of all, as she said, I lay down on Anne’s left thigh covering her left breast. And Hwanin looked at Anne, who was feeding her milk into her mouth, asking, ‘What are you doing here?
= Suck on the side. I don’t know exactly… Essence will come out enough to relieve the fatigue of the sword.=
‘It’s not breast milk, it’s pure water.’
Not even a water dispenser.
=Actually, I wanted to milk myself and put it in a cup, but it didn’t come out no matter what I did, probably because I had no experience in breastfeeding. But I think it’s a bit like that to gather there below.
Convinced by Anne’s explanation, Hwanin opened her lips a little more, bit her areola and nipple at once, and sucked on her with a little force.
Hehe…….=
With a small moan, a small amount of liquid flowed out of her mouth.
A slightly sweet liquid with a popping carbonation-like feel. Is an integer
The more force you suck, the more essence flows out. Hwanin, who had been drinking it for a while, felt that his fatigue was definitely reduced and his mental tension was relieved.
= Yes. My Hwanin baby, are you very hungry? Oh gu oh gu =
“…….”
Hearing her remarks about stroking her forehead and tidying up her hair, Hwanin remembered that a junior at her company had shown this as a killer erotic comic.
The act of a grown-up naked man laying on the thighs of a grown-up naked woman, breastfeeding, and receiving handjobs.
‘How many times do you have to tell the company not to bring pornography into the company for it to be understood?’
‘Wait! Hwanin hyung-nim, playing with the goddaughter who is breastfeeding from a beauty is a major taste!’
‘Noisy.’
= He’s cute~. You don’t know how cute her mother sucking her breasts so hard ~. =
Hwanin was about to bite off the nipple for a moment, but he responded by simply folding his arms and closing his eyes.
It would be impossible to react to her pranks with a serious face.
=Ahh, but I don’t know how you suck like that. Who taught you such bad things?=
=Cook-Cook-Cook.=
“…….”
…… It was Hwanin who began to think seriously about whether he should bite him or, if he did, how much force he should bite.
