Chapter 448 – 442 King of the Lake
Chow ah- Chow ah-
Hwanin, who got off the back of the emergency room and waded through knee-deep water, walked along the road with only traces left, and looked around.
The buildings that made up the city are nowhere to be found, and the plain that has turned into a swimming pool extends to the wall several kilometers away.
There are no remains of buildings and no human bodies. A quiet place where the only living things are you, Viking, and the White Blue Dragon.
It is a sight as if a tsunami came and took away all the dirt on the land and purified it.
The water level rises up to his knees and splashes as it greets the drizzling rain pouring down from the sky.
Amidst the traces of the castle of Asof, which was completely blown away from the middle of the hill and even disappeared, and the collapsed or cracked castle wall standing in the distance, the loneliness is multiplied…….
《Come quickly.》
“…….”
The dragon, standing firmly in the middle of the water playground, conveys the feeling of being beaten by why it is so slow.
《If you ride the one behind it, it will be soon.》
“…….”
《Human beings don’t even live long, so they just relax.》
“Please be quiet.”
At the reproach of Hwanin, the sound of the ground shaking and vibrations pass through the feet.
The action of a white blue dragon that thumps and thumps the ground with its long, beautiful tail covered with scales and white-blue hair.
The act of an overwhelming creature hundreds of meters long was extremely stressful in itself, but to Hwanin, it looked like a displeased cat expressing displeasure.
“Leave your tail still, too. Are you hitting the ground with your scaled tail when you’re stubborn because you can’t scratch the beautiful scales?”
《…….》
A dragon that secretly stops wagging its tail and makes a fuss. Hwanin let out a short sigh like a sigh and opened his mouth, being wary of the fact that he was a magistrate.
It was because of the thought that I had to resolve the doubts that I had been harboring ever since that day.
“My name is Hwanin. What is your name.”
《You are a human who will not live long, but you are curious about the name of this body.》
“But I can’t call you you, hey, can I?”
《…… Don’t let me know especially about you. This body is Adnevila, the one who has inherited the lineage of the Lord of all the waters of this world and the origin of life.”
“Are you talking about the water god?”
“It is true.”
Hwanin was surprised and new. It is a yard where I have even seen dragons, which are dismissed as legends and fictions on Earth. It is not strange if God exists.
‘No. Rather, it would be more strange to say that there is no God.’
Understand naturally. It’s because he’s a god, so he probably has that level of ability. At that level, he must be able to make Aleughel Lake, which is as wide as the five oceans, his home.
“I have a question for you.”
《Just come quickly when you are curious.》
“You can use this to finish quickly.”
《What are you curious about?》
As soon as he lifted the balance, Adnebilla changed his attitude, and Hwanin felt a bit of absurdity and fatigue at the same time.
The atmosphere goes back and forth to the point where you can’t adapt.
Right after the tidal wave wiped away everything in Alsop, he spread a surreal presence and power that was not enough to be called a dragon. But now, he acts light and thoughtless enough to remind me of Hwanyeon.
I don’t know if that’s all, but with the addition of an unidentified mental wave that overwhelms the mind, it feels like seeing a superior who is selfish and moody and even behaves in a mess.
Hwanin asked patiently.
“What is a thousand won? Is it correct to say that there is a land in which white flowers bloom profusely in space, a huge tree supporting the universe, and a place with big eyes in the sky?”
《…… Eye? Did you just say snow? What about those eyes? What was it like?”
Hwan-in answered Adnevila’s question first, seeing that he was showing huge interest enough to cover up his doubts.
《…….》
After hearing her explanation, Ad Nevilla fell into deep thought.
He lowers his eyes and doesn’t even move. She seems to be breathing, but she doesn’t even make the slightest movement, so you can think of it as a very sophisticated and beautiful stone statue.
Hwanin continued to walk while appreciating Adnebilla’s graceful appearance, and his thoughts continued until he narrowed the distance in half and reached the collapsed labyrinth.
The dragon raised its head with a light in its eyes and gave a long belated reply.
《Cheonwon, as it is expressed, is the source of all things that exist in the sky. It is also the cradle of holy water and the dwelling place of the gods who watch over the world.”
“What does it mean to see it?”
《…… Seeing you again, you are truly a strange human being. Bondi, your destiny is not in this world. But how…….》
Suddenly, Adnebilla’s eyes, which make strange noises, change as if they contain the Milky Way and emit strong light.
The feeling of starlight embroidering in a dark space covered with dark clouds.
《Those who should have died because of you survived, those who should have ended up as weeds blossomed into bright flowers, and those who should have been fully bloomed flowers perished without ever sprouting.
“…….”
《At this point, it wouldn’t be strange if the world regarded you as an anomaly, an irregularity, or an abnormal existence and tried to eliminate you…… But it’s not like I’ve completely become an existence in this world…….》
“Is it because I was awakened by the Spirit Master even though I am a person from another world, a dimensional wanderer?”
《Dimension Wanderer? Is it. Therefore……. However, awakening is a privilege and privilege unique to the creatures of this dimension. The intruder is not given such a benefit…….》
“…… ?”
Adnevila’s eyes stare at Hwanin.
Seeing that gaze, Hwanin felt a strange sense of deja vu. It’s like making a mistake and standing in front of her mother.
“Is it! Was that so You are a lucky guy.”
“Please explain to me too.”
Ad Nevila, lying prostrate on her land and crossing her arms with her front feet, spoke as if she had seen through all of her ghostly past.
《You, have you ever held an object in your hands within a few days after coming to this world? It’s not an ordinary piece of equipment, it’s like a statue that monsters can carry around.”
At that point, Hwanin recalled the green hob’s antlers staff that used strange techniques.
When Hwan-in nodded her head slightly, Adne Villa continued her saying, “That’s right, then.”
《It must have been that the monsters gathered their strength for awakening. You, who do not belong to this world, touched it, and from then on, your destiny began to twist.”
“Is it fate?”
《When a lost child from a dimension flows into another dimension, the ending is not good. It is easy to be rejected by the living, rejected by the inanimate, and eventually killed by the world. However, you achieved an abnormal awakening with the power of a monster, and ironically, you have achieved a state of excellence with that power, so your existence is an anomaly itself.”
“…….”
“You said you visited Cheonwon. Was there someone who greeted you at that time?”
“I came back after standing alone in the middle of a field of white flowers for a long time.”
“It will. Usually, 1,000 won is not a visit, but an invitation…….》
Whoop whoop. Adnevilla laughed as if it was really funny.
《How long has this been an interesting existence to see? To the point where I forgot about the unpleasant experience. But it won’t be much fun for you.”
“…….”
At Adnebilla’s meaningful words, Hwanin naturally came to a conclusion.
“You mean that beings belonging to the heavenly world can pursue me.”
《A person who was not invited to the dwelling and who was not permitted entered the dwelling with mud feet and returned. Even if the person who becomes the owner of the house thinks it’s no big deal, in the position of the lower ones who serve the landlord, the blood will spurt backwards or there will be questions.”
As if Hwanin’s case is really funny, Adnebilla can’t stand it and laughs all the time.
Whenever that happens, the long body narrows and spreads out like a caterpillar moving, and the scales perform a peristaltic movement. Is it because of that?
Took, clink—
“Well?”
The mark of the blade that had been embedded under the scales pushed itself out and fell down.
《…….》
“…….”
An awkward silence that flows between one person and one dragon.
《…… When I tried so hard to pull it out, it didn’t fall out.”
Adnevila, with an embarrassed voice, gently trampled the mark of the blade and turned it into powder.
Unexpectedly, the matter was resolved, but Hwanin bowed slightly to Adnebilla without showing any particular emotion.
“The request for help has been resolved by itself, so I will return.”
“Let me say thank you. Thanks to you, my bad mood has improved and my anger has been relieved.”
“I will also say thank you. Your story has cleared up some of my old questions.”
Adnevila, who was impressed by Hwanin’s plain attitude as he climbed onto the back of the emergency room, stopped him with a pause.
Adnebilla, who reigned as the king of the lake, had met many humans up to this point.
She saw people who came to subjugate her, people who asked for help in their work by offering their wealth, people who tried to make her subordinates, and people who worshiped her like a god.
All of those humans were afraid of themselves, afraid of them, or dismissed them as monsters, displaying hostility and dirty desires.
But that Hwanin was different.
I swear I’ve never met a human who treats himself as just some big, strange creature.
Is that why? Adneville acted on what could be called a whim.
“You haven’t heard what it means to see a thousand won. You don’t need that answer.”
“I didn’t want to tell you, so I thought you were turning around.”
“I, the king of Aleughel, would commit such a servile thing. If you don’t want to tell me, I’ll just refuse.”
Adnebilla snorted and said, staring at him with deep eyes.
《Seeing the thousand won is similar to becoming a master in one direction. For example, it is a similar story to being recognized as an agent of God.”
“Are the agents of that god different from those called apostles?”
《An apostle is no different from a communication crystal ball. It would be easier to understand if you think of an agent as something like a butler.”
“… Adnevila has a high understanding of the human world. He often transforms into a human and goes out to play.”
《………….》
Was this something that shouldn’t have been asked? Seeing Adnebilla slightly averting her gaze, Hwanin smiled slightly.
But that laugh didn’t last long. It was because there were so many elements that would complicate my thoughts in the stories Adneville told me.
It feels like the laughter that comes out stops when you think that a bigger blue than before might be waiting in front of you.
“I’ll just go. Adnevila, I will cheer you from far away so that you achieve your desired goal.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Dream?
Can I go back now? Hwanin, who was about to say yes while stroking Bisang’s head, instantly covered his eyes with a golden glow and could not see anything.
It was a sudden change, but it was a phenomenon that I had experienced once, so I was not surprised and grabbed the reins of emergency.
And in order not to lose consciousness, I focused on the sensation of the reins in my hand and the feeling of flying.
The emergency situation was also stiffened by the sudden brilliance.
‘Am I going back to Earth again?’
It’s not a sudden thing.
Due to Adneville’s approach, the labyrinth suddenly exploded. At first, it collapsed on its own, but then a second collapse occurred due to Adneville.
If the core of the labyrinth was destroyed during the second collapse, and the power released from it flew to you while you were passing near the collapsed labyrinth while wandering around because you couldn’t find a place to go…….
“…… ?”
However, no matter how focused you are, there is no sign of your surroundings changing, and there is no sign of losing your mind.
Hwanin opened his closed eyes. The brilliance that used to dazzle his eyes is slowly sinking.
It was then that his chest became hot as if it were on fire. It feels like burning your chest with fire and carving something into it.
After unraveling the front island, Hwanin could see that the existing patterns that looked like pictures or letters had been expanded a little more.
After destroying the spawning pond labyrinth, the first pattern engraved could not be guessed at all. However, I think I know what it looks like now that the pattern has been expanded to the pit of the stomach.
‘Is it a tree stump?’
No, it would be more correct to regard it as the stump and roots of a tree that has not been fully drawn yet.
‘Every time the heart core is broken, strokes are added to the pattern, so it must be drawing a tree. When this becomes a tree, the pattern will be complete…….’
Will that be the time when he will completely return to Earth?
At that moment, Hwanin remembered Gilliamy, the space beast. A white and gigantic divine tree seen from the land of Heaven. Is it because of my mood that I feel that it resembles this?
Cue?
Seeing him tilt his head to see if his vision had returned to normal, Hwanin tidied up his clothes and lightly touched his side.
“Let’s go back to them.”
Pp.
Hwanin, who looked back from the back of the flight soaring into the dark sky of rain, saw that Adnebilla did not return to the lake, but went into a sinkhole with a diameter of more than 1,000 meters, which was created when the labyrinth sank.
Adnevila is immersed in clear and transparent water and spins as it is.
Does entering that place mean waiting for people to come here, or is it an intention to kill and eliminate the people who come to punish themselves?
Hwanin looked at him for a moment, then turned his head.
Girlfriends wait in tents in the rain, which is gradually getting stronger, and people from the Yeongdo and Land God denominations.
Hwanin returned to them and informed them that the matter had been resolved.
=Oh, really!=
=I’m glad that no more dangerous things will happen…….=
=But with that many people…… Brothers and sisters sacrificed…….=
=…….=
=…….=
Kururureung, shoot aaaaa–
In response to the silent prayer from the members of the Land God Church, the Yeongdo side silently offers a silent prayer.
“This is a major disaster caused by the lord of Alsof, Cadram Initiity Alsof. It can be said that the perpetrators paid the price, but the lives of the priests of the Church of the Land God and other churches who were killed as a result, as well as hundreds of thousands of innocent people, will not be solved with a few words.”
People look at Hwanin’s story.
“Adnevila didn’t seem to want to get out of that land for a while. A fact-finding will be conducted in the capital city, but then Archbishop Rennie and Archpriest Alax will have many things to do and say.”
=Yes……. Well then, the saint and the soul interrogators…….=
At the question of Archbishop Reni, who seemed to have lost his energy, Aziera brushed the wet, dark violet hair on the side of his head behind his ear and said,
= Our goal is…… Due to what happened this time, in the mediation between the Light of Dawn and Lord Alsof, I headed to Eshnuur with the Light of Dawn.=
=Then…….=
=But it is an important matter that cannot be delayed even in response to the Alsop incident. Mr. Hrod.=
=Yes, Mr. Agiera.=
=May I ask that you join Archbishop Reni and contribute to uncovering the whole story.=
=Yes. Archbishop Roney, please take good care of me.=
The news of Alsop’s disappearance in one day quickly spread all over Radsea.
It is one of the few major events in the history of Radsea that a city, not even a place that had just been promoted to a small town, had solidified its mid-level foundation for hundreds of years and was expected to be promoted to a large city soon.
The barons were keen on the reason why Adnevila, who was treated the same as the sea king, attacked Alsof, even though he was a lake.
Even the circumstantial evidence, evidence, and testimony of witnesses pouring out every day from the Youngdo, the Earth God Church, and Prabur.
And I realized that there is a green saint at the center of a series of events.
If it wasn’t for him, the sea king Adnevila’s wrath would not have died down, and the story that all the cities and villages adjacent to Lake Aleugel would have been in danger of extinction had begun to circulate.
The reaction was divided into two parts.
The reaction of the barons, and the reaction of the common people.
Ordinary people, citizens, did not wonder about the lord of Althof, who had been searched for. They only cared about the Green Saint.
A green saint known as the savior of Bijalux and Krabin Village, and the liberator of the abandoned village of Linden. The appearance of a heroic figure has always been a stimulating subject matter for the common people.
=Green saint? It’s called the Spirit Master, but is it a story that the Spirit Master is strong enough to stop even a dragon?=
=He’s strong, but his soul magic is so great that even the soul interrogators get down on one knee.=
=There was a saying that the reason why I visited Alsop was to criticize the damn thing the lord had done.=
=That, they say that they have already seen the sky whale twice, which is said to be seen only once in a lifetime.=
If they were to talk about the rumors floating around in the market about how great the green saint was, the barons were getting more intimate information and were nervous.
=The sea king’s attack was the result of the actions of lord Alsop, but…… Is it the saint himself who killed Lord Alsof?=
=There is a saying that the soul art of a saint is enough to communicate with mixed beings.=
=It is said that the reason Lord Alsof attacked the saint was because he was angry when he tried to swallow Prabur and returned to Musan because of the saint.=
= The saint is…… After killing the raiders, he got information through the spirits and went to argue with Lord Alsop? Huh true.=
=This is a story I got with a lot of money, but there is a story that maybe the leader of Yeongdo may change.=
=What?=
= There is a position that goes beyond spirituality, and it is said that it is the light of dawn. The green saint that appeared this time is the light of dawn.=
= That… What is the light of dawn?=
=They say it is the pinnacle of death of souls.=
= Vertex…… It’s hard to believe, but I think it’s true that you can see the soul right after death.=
= It’s dangerous. He’s a really dangerous person.=
= Politically, he carried Hellumen and Prabur on his back in the Order of the Lord and Earth God, and his body’s power was to the extent of defeating the corrupted Bardul and stopping the dragon…….=
=Soul magic is said to be called the king of souls. It’s not some kind of ancient hero, how could such a human appear?=
Upon hearing the news, the nobles woke up.
How authentic is this story? How much is true and how much is false? How much exaggeration did you add?
There is no limit to the information that can be gleaned from the dead. And it’s a well-known fact that the soul can’t move to the soul master.
If you think that potentially fatal information can flow there, you cannot just welcome the visit of the saint.
When the two letters of Hwanin’s name, which had been known only to small towns and villages, began to be known to even higher-level barons.
The two letters of Hwanin’s name reached the depths of the palace in the capital city.
= If all of this is true, you are someone I would like to meet at least once. =
A private office of more than 300 pyeong that would feel empty if you do not have an eye for eye and aesthetic sense beyond luxury.
In the place where the horizon of Aleughel Lake is beautifully drawn behind, a nine-tailed white tailed tiger looks at the report and murmurs.
= Wouldn’t it be dangerous? He is said to be a person who can see the souls immediately after death and handles cohabitation. So far, there has never been a consul of soul art of this level.=
=Why not?=
=…… Isn’t that a tale from 800 years ago?=
=Okay.=
The woman, who had been looking over the report with a vague smile, put her report down and looked back at the huge north-facing window, she said.
=Collect all of this person’s path and whereabouts, and collect everything that happened before.=
=I will follow Her Majesty’s orders.=
Hwanin, who had attracted the unseen attention of so many people, had Elsnerfell, the city of the Join tribe, right in front of him, a place one step forward to Yeongdo.
