Chapter 462 – 456 Orlnaha Plains
Male voice
Buzzing
Returning to the wagon with two children, Hwanin could see that the party had increased.
Four old and middle-aged men and women wearing slightly worn-out clothes with traces of stitching here and there.
‘Those are them.’
When the children are captured by Hob and the children’s parents and a woman who has learned a little martial arts run to save the children, they run away saying that they will survive somehow.
The Hwanin party, wearing weapons and wearing armor and robes, seemed to be high-ranking people, so they couldn’t breathe properly, and they gathered together and shivered.
Hwanin didn’t care about them. Instead…….
“…….”
A girl with silver hair, silver eyes and fox ears who hiccups silently and shakes her shoulders.
A silver fox boy who holds his little sister tightly and looks around her with anxious eyes.
Unique They were too smart and realized their situation and looked at the children who were holding back tears even though they were separated from their parents forever.
As soon as they receive Hwanin’s gaze, they are still young children who startle and tremble.
The children noticed that Hwanin, who was honored and respected by the patrol warriors and high-ranking spirit knights, especially the knights who were more beautiful and stronger than anyone else, was the highest in the group.
Being higher than you imagine is something to be feared.
Hwanin knelt down on one knee in front of the two children, who were trembling as he approached her, but then closed their eyes tightly, put her at eye level, and stroked her hair.
Gently stroking it, it spread a wave of tranquility that covered only the children.
= Oh my god. To be able to control the waves of serenity so perfectly…… !=
=You really are a green saint. It’s a great spirit art.=
When the tremors were finally gone by the wave effect of tranquility, the slightly loud voices of the warriors around them reached the children, and because of that, the children started to tremble again.
I calmed it down.
Hwanin turned his angry eyes toward the warriors. And the warriors, realizing their mistake, bowed her head and shut her mouth.
I wasn’t really angry. In order to quiet them, I just thought this would be the fastest and most effective way given the current atmosphere.
The effect was excessive and the surroundings of the carriage fell silent, but Hwanin was a little satisfied with the quiet environment and spoke in a soft voice.
“My uncle’s name is Hwanin. What are your names?”
=… Hey, I’m Arfin. My younger sister is Ia. She is seven years old and her sister is six….=
He is shaking a little, but his voice is bright and his eyes are clear.
=Gu, thank you for saving me, Master Hwanin.=
“…….”
=He and my mother also made me a Buddha… Go, thank you… Great Thank you.=
But the child is a child, so her tears quickly fill up.
For some reason, Hwanin felt a sigh and patted the two children’s heads again.
“You already know that, you’re so clever even as a child.”
=…….=
=…….=
“I’m sad to part with my beloved mom and dad, but…… A man must one day be separated from his parents. You broke up with your parents early, so I know a little bit how you guys feel.”
= Ooh….=
Her cries flow from a girl in the arms of a silver fox-haired boy.
Hwanin carefully hugged the two children and comforted them a little.
“It would be easier to think that I broke up with my parents a little earlier. Other than that, don’t worry. The uncle will help you a little behind the scenes so that you can become adults safely.”
= Go, thank you…….=
=…… Thank you….=
Children weeping and saying thanks.
Hwanin, who suffered from demons disguised as Aira several times and was burned by immature humans who neglected such demons, came to dislike children.
However, it is a different story if you are such a quick-witted, kind-hearted child who knows how to see the atmosphere.
As long as the mother of these children said to take care of the children with her eyes, she was going to do at least a human duty…….
“…….”
Hwanin, who got up from his seat, summoned Yurupa and Baekryeogang and instructed them to take care of the two children, then approached the old and middle-aged villagers, who had been staring at the children and scratching their temper.
The villagers hurriedly kneel down at the approach of Hwanin and take a posture of prayer.
With a smile on his face, he quietly opened his mouth.
“Get up. I am a person who has no reason to receive your prayers.”
= Hey, Mr. Soul…….=
The voice is soft and comforting, but the content is completely different, so the dog-headed old man calls out to Hwanin with a trembling voice.
Hwanin did not answer and continued to speak quietly.
“As a human being, the fear of death is a law that everyone has. I do not intend to say anything about what I did to live in the same situation as you alone. I think people can do that.”
=…….=
=…….=
“But if you decide to act, shouldn’t you be held accountable for your actions? ….”
It is only the voice that has gone down an octave, but the feeling that the surrounding temperature has dropped by 5 degrees all at once wraps around the audience.
The villagers who received Hwanin’s near-killing spirit from close range could not breathe and trembled. The same goes for the warriors of the patrol and the knights of the spirits who are hardened by the mysterious spirit.
Only his women quietly watch the group of four humans.
Feeling the gaze focused on him, Hwanin let out a small sigh and continued.
“While running away, abandoning the children to live and the people running to save the children. If you have a conscience as a person, you shouldn’t be greedy for your children now.”
He has been relieved a little thanks to his girlfriends lately, but he is a Hwanin who has lived for over 26 years with a more inhuman way of thinking than anyone else. That’s why the thoughts of the villagers were clearly visible.
However, the villagers thought that if they persisted in lying, somehow, they would continue to insist on their lies.
= Oh no! No! We have treated those children we met on our pilgrimage as our grandchildren until now!=
= Also, the reason I ran away was to ask for help…… !=
= Ino Oh!! How dare you disrespect the saint!
When a thunderclap like thunder erupts from Sernen’s mouth, the pilgrims who have swallowed up excuses, excuses, and lies scream and slam their heads to the ground.
I’ve seen Sernen too. As soon as Hwanin said that he would take care of the children, the four people who were staring at him suddenly changed to cunning.
Most of the people present noticed the story of the Hwanin and Sernen’s scolding.
Running away = true
Seeking help = true
However, it is correct to say that he did not run away to seek help, but encountered a patrol while running and asked for help.
= A person, how can a person be like that…… !=
Sernen was enraged to the point that blood pooled on his forehead at the lies aimed at mocking people, whose meaning changed 180 degrees depending on the precedent.
They are the children who will be under the guardianship of the green saint. How peaceful and comfortable life would be if the role of taking care of those children would be guaranteed. These humans must have been aiming for that and trying to take the children by telling lies like this.
=Did you think you didn’t see that the saint’s expression changed cunningly when he said that he would be your guardian? They are like those who will be punished by such a beast god!!=
= No… It’s not like that…….=
Sernen couldn’t stand the behavior of the shameless humans who trembled but insisted that they were not stretching, and gave his hand to the swordsman at the waist.
A situation in which the heads of four of her members would fall like straw if she had just a little more determination.
But seeing the carriage door open and Agiera stepping out, neatly dressed in her Soul Inquisitor’s garb, Sernen took a step back, swallowing her tantrum. It is impossible to splatter blood in the presence of her serving soul priest.
As the warriors of the patrol bowed back to the left and right, villagers secretly raise their heads, unaware that their necks almost fell in the changed atmosphere.
And her villagers, who witnessed Agiera approaching this way, thought that she was a higher-ranking person than her phantasmal who had bullied them.
Also, that man doesn’t even have an aura. A common adventurer in any outfit. The only difference from other adventurers is that the leather clothes are of high quality?
The wave of peace that Hwanin spread to the children was only scattered in a very small area, so it was an illusion that the villagers couldn’t see.
= Hey, Mr. Spirit! We are sorry!=
= It’s a soul… !=
Such an illusion came in the form of clinging to Agiera and complaining of her injustice.
Since he had just gotten off the luxurious carriage, he must have been the highest-ranking person in the group, and since he was only inside the carriage, he wondered if he was unaware of the situation outside.
The knights of Agiera’s spirit, as well as the warriors of the patrol, now looked bewildered.
In the meantime, Aziera asks in her calm voice.
=Are you unhappy?=
= Yes! We were just worried about the Rulipe couple, so we tried to find someone who could help as soon as possible…… !=
However, an old man with a shaggy gray hair and a dog head glanced at Hwan-in as if he was persecuting him.
It was an act that brought back not very pleasant memories for him.
Bushcraft, which he always did on his days off, went deep into the mountains and spent the night bivouac, and after returning, Hwanin saw old people from farmhouses gathered around his car and a cultivator.
I went after talking to the owner of the vacant lot and the village head of the village head next door, giving him 50,000 won as a small fee, and getting permission to park in the nearby vacant lot.
It happened to prove that rural people’s hearts are as cracked and dry as a tortoise’s shell.
“Uh, are you the owner of this car?”
The tiller scratched the driver’s door, and it was disfigured and pitted, and the hairy middle-aged man who appeared to be the owner of the tiller blamed Hwanin for the fault, saying, “What if an outsider parks his car in the village’s common lot?”
Later, I heard that it was because it was a waste to pay for repairs, and that it was because they were in a good relationship with the village chief, so if they insisted and bullied them, they would not have to pay for repairs.
In any case, did Hwanin, who quietly and politely speak with respect from start to finish, be looked down upon? When Hwanin tried to say something, the hairy middle-aged man would stop his words with resentment and shouts, and as the saying goes, crayfish are on the side of crabs, the village chief and others defended the hairy middle-aged man and criticized Hwanin.
The village chief, who even took the money, joined in and pushed the situation. After confirming that he was unable to communicate, Hwanin stopped talking and called the police and the insurance company.
After that, I hired a lawyer to file a complaint by proxy, using the black box that was filmed all around, as evidence.
Seeing the dog-headed old man complaining to Aziera over and over again, Hwan-in’s feelings quickly deteriorated.
The furry, dog-headed old man, who lies, becomes intoxicated with his own lies, and believes the lies as if they were the truth. Then, like a madman, he will not hesitate to accuse innocent opponents of being sinners or wicked.
The situation right now fits him perfectly. The strange thing happened then.
The pattern on his chest, resonating with his displeasure, and the pattern that looked like a tree stump with more strokes began to shine in the leather jacket, and Hwanin’s obsidian-like eyes were also colored gold.
= Uh…… ?=
= Ugh, uhm?=
The warriors, knights, and villagers who saw it looked at Hwanin in awe.
Suddenly, golden light flowed from their eyes. Did any of the soul priests have such a ability?
The warriors of Yeongdo hesitated, not knowing why, but Sernen and other spirit knights and Ajiera looked at him with slightly warm eyes because they had a guess.
That time. Hwanin, whose pattern-enhanced soul vision was activated, was looking at the souls of the villagers.
The appearance of a soul that looks exactly like a dog-headed man shrinking as if intimidated.
Raising his head, Hwanin looked around at Ajiera, his girlfriend, and the others, and they could also see the same body and soul overlapping and shimmering.
‘This…… Is it a living being?’
There were also differences in the living age.
While the girlfriends were so integrated with their bodies that they could not recognize their souls, the villagers seemed weak, as if their souls and bodies could be separated just by touching them.
‘It seems that the soul’s sight has opened by itself. It might have something to do with the expansion of the pattern.’
Rather, that look…….
Hwanin, who quickly put together a hypothesis that was close to the correct answer, looked at the villagers with cold eyes and said.
“If you’re honest with me even now, I won’t ask you for a serious crime considering the circumstances.”
The villagers were frightened and gulped their saliva. I thought wrong. Looking at it now, the dark-haired man in front of me was the tallest person in the group.
What to do What do we do?
Seeing them looking at each other, Sernen’s tantrum rose, and he gnashed his teeth and growled like a beast.
= I still can’t come to my senses…….=
“…….”
Hwanin, who stopped Sernen, stared at the living souls of the villagers, then stretched out his hand toward the shaggy, hairy, dog-headed old man.
The swaying fingers with golden light at the end slowly point to the old man’s forehead, and the moment they lightly touch the stiff old man, his head drops and at the same time half of his soul comes out of the old man’s body.
「Uh, uh uh…….”
=Huh?!=
= I, that’s what…… !?=
The spirit of an old man who struggles in a panic, not knowing what has happened to him.
And the warriors and spirit knights of Youngdo who are terrified and surprised by a phenomenon they have never seen in their lives.
=…… !=
The only one who vaguely inferred the situation was Agiera, who had read close to 70% of the materials in the archives.
‘The ancient soul priests picked souls from the bodies of living people and interrogated them, but I don’t think the Hwanin Saint…… !’
Ajiera’s face spreads emotion and joy as she witnesses the return of the ancient soul art that was thought to have disappeared.
Aziera tried to sort out her feelings for him about yesterday, but it was useless. Hwanin imprinted feelings that were no different from a stigma deep in her heart.
The person concerned is forcibly interrogated by the living spirit of the old man for his own purpose without even guessing.
“Please answer honestly. What were your thoughts when you left the young couple and their children and ran away?”
“Turn it off… Ooh, we… I’m not attacked…… I’m glad…… Those people…… While the children are being eaten… Far…… I want to run away…… Oh oh…….”
“Why did you change your mind now?”
“Do-on… Seems like a lot…… Because people are guardians… Side, live comfortably…… I want to…… !”
People felt goose bumps run down their backs, necks, and forearms at the cry of the spirit, which resembled the hissing wind.
I felt like there was such a disgusting person, and the wonder of soul art that I had never seen before.
People stared in awe at Hwanin, who pushed the old man’s soul into his body, without blinking.
As soon as the soul entered the body, the old man, who had been stretching his head, suddenly came to his senses.
Public opinion about the villagers is already the worst. While no one was giving them a good look, Ajiera stared at the trembling villagers with emotionless eyes before asking Hwanin, who was standing calmly.
= Holy Son Hwanin, what should these people do? =
“I don’t think these people have done anything wrong enough to deserve punishment. However, in order to regain the kindness, duty, and compassion of those who have lost it, I think we should discipline them.”
In response, Ajiera slightly lowered her head with a smile that revealed feelings of admiration in the midst of a sense of satisfaction.
=You are very right.=
Ajiera ordered the warriors and knights to clean up on behalf of Hwanin.
The four villagers cower in complete fright, and the patrol team picks them up according to their roles and moves together. As usual, she and her soul knights escort Hwanin Saint and their two children and head to Yeongdo.
=Woov.=
=Yes, Mr. Era.=
=I give an order in the name of the second interrogator of the executive department. Please record their personal information and take them to the training room when they arrive in Yeongdo so that they can repent. We must repent by any means. You know?=
=I will follow your word.=
Uv, who raised his head deep toward Agiera, looked at the back of Hwanin, who was talking with the knights, with her face full of awe.
=Doryeong, what was that just now? Are you able to extract souls from living people now?=
=Anne……. Saying that makes the master look like a villain.=
= No, but… If Doryeong wasn’t a soul master, he would have been mistaken for a necromancer?=
“I-I looked a little like that too…….”
= Girls? Think about it. Agiera-sama, her spirit knights, and patrol warriors didn’t say much either. What he showed me was that, the light of dawn? It could be related to that job.=
The women, who sounded plausible in Yurpa’s guess, looked at Hwanin with their arms folded and their eyes closed.
Seeing that gaze, Hwanin opened his eyes and silently touched his chest, where the pattern was engraved.
=Ah.=
=Ah.=
=Um.=
Convinced by one simple gesture, the women looked at each other with delicate expressions.
‘The pattern energy is the power obtained while breaking through the labyrinth. Does that affect spirit art?’
‘Master, to be precise, he is not a spirit master…….’
‘The powers received by the body tend to mix together, so it’s not strange that the power of the core affects the spirit art.’
Hwanin thought of the pattern on his chest as he listened to his girlfriends whispering.
The first pattern was obtained by destroying the core of Kravin’s Spawning Pond Labyrinth, and the second expansion was achieved by luckyly picking it up after the labyrinth of Althof was broken by Adnebilla.
The fact that the spirit vision has changed as a result of the expansion means that the wave of tranquility has also changed, and the overall spirit arts, such as soul arrows and soul explosions, have become stronger.
Hwanin was trying to use the patterns, the wave of tranquility and the pillar of light of tranquility, buthehesitated and looked back at the Baeknyeo River.
‘…… I’ll have to experiment with it later.’
=But Yuri unnie, what happened to the children?=
=After washing and changing clothes, he fell asleep.=
=Because I saw my parents reach Buddhahood right in front of me…… You must be very tired.=
= Yes. So after sleeping, I turned on the sound insulation function and came out.=
Hwanin, who was listening to their conversation, saw that the party was ready to depart, and whistled with his fingers to call the emergency that was playing in the sky.
“Stop getting in the carriage. Depart.”
It wasn’t long before Yeongdo. It’s delayed a bit, but if you speed up, you’ll be able to arrive before nightfall.
