Chapter 463 – 457 Yeongdo Eshnuur
After the initial commotion, the movement continued unscathed.
According to the Hwanyeon investigation report, relatively weak monsters overflow from the outside…….
“The monsters seem to regard this as the territory of another strong organization, group, or clan. So, try not to come this way.”
“Of course. In order to build a road, the surroundings must be stabilized first, so they would have cleaned up monsters and beasts in the area on a large scale, and since then, they would have been conducting periodic sweeping operations.”
If you see a wasp nest, normal people don’t go near or go around it, so if you have been on the Orlnaha Plain for a long time and are intelligent, you won’t come this way.
If you accidentally touch it and the warriors mobilize and turn the surroundings into a mess, only they will die.
Moving until the sun came up overhead, the party entered the middle camp under Ub’s guidance.
=Sir, this is the 4th patrol camp managed by the Yeongdo regional patrol agency. Since lunch time is approaching, why don’t you eat there and then depart?=
“It doesn’t.”
In Hwanin’s eyes, the patrol camp was similar to the Farhist camp near Farhist.
A low stone wall surrounds a site the size of two soccer fields, and dozens of decks ranging from small decks measuring 2m in width to large ones in height of 20m are embedded on the well-planned ground.
There are carefully crafted wells in between, and there are simple conventional toilets along the edges.
Near the entrance, there was a 5-meter-tall stone watchtower that gave a full view of the surrounding area, including the campsite, and four stone buildings that looked like small dormitories, probably used as patrol barracks.
In addition to a proper stable and an iron lattice structure that looks like a prison. It is a well-groomed campsite where pilgrims can pitch their tents and get some rest.
There are quite a few pilgrims using the campsite, but each of them is focusing on their own work, just glancing at it.
That was until Agiera appeared.
As Aziera got off her wagon, her gasps, uh, waaah, exclamations and exclamations erupted from all over her, and they surrounded her from a distance of about 20m and prayed towards her, surrounding her. Pilgrims.
After a little fuss, the group settled for lunch with the sandwich lunch box Isilite had prepared in advance, took a break for 20 minutes, and then left the camp again.
The pilgrims followed them to the entrance and saw them off, bending over until they disappeared from sight.
Having something to think about and review, Hwanin entered the carriage and met the gaze of Agiera, who was sitting opposite Yurpa and Baekryeogang.
Hwanin, who thought he would avoid her gaze soon, saw her tightly closed eyes slightly drooping and a blush coming up on her cheeks.
Until she left in the morning, she was Agiera, chewing on her pain and not wanting to meet her own eyes…….
‘He changed his mind again due to an incident from a while ago.’
Sweeping out her hob and rescuing her child at the behest of her female spirit was not an act done out of a sense of justice and humanity.
It’s just her soul, so it’s because she thought that if she made her become a Buddha and absorbed the light orb, and if she showed a good person in the process, her reputation would improve and her side would increase in her territories.
In addition, four villagers played a significant role, and even the warriors of the Yeongdo patrol team served as folding screens, allowing a considerable image to be implanted.
But the effect of her was too much, so she picked up her feelings that Agiera had half-put down.
As her eyes meet for a few seconds, Aziera smiles lightly and tells her joke.
= Hwanin… It’s embarrassing to think that I’m a little envious of the Holy Son.
“I wonder what you were envious of.”
= Oops. Are you pretending not to know? Hwanin… The saint savored a cup of tea from afar pretending not to be with them…….=
…… Oh, is that what you mean?
After lunch at the campsite, Aziera had not been able to rest for 20 minutes blessing and baptizing the pilgrims gathered nearby.
While she was doing that, Hwanin had a leisurely coffee break with her girlfriends at a place far away from her.
This was possible because Hwanin was a person with no aura symptoms.
Among the group, Agiera is the only one whose aura is revealed, so her pilgrims flocked to Agiera, and Agiera pointed out that and joked with her.
“If you envy, you lose.”
When Hwanin accepts it as a joke, Agiera smiles silently.
= I’ve seen two non-manifested workers until now, but they didn’t even know if they had the ability or not, so how could they be Hwanin… I can’t tell if someone like the Holy Son is a non-appearance.=
“Is the strength of her ability related to the manifestation of her aura?”
=Yes. I’ve read the writings of those who have no manifestations in the archives room, and it’s written like that.=
Hwanin realized that he had clearly overlooked that point.
The aura gets darker as her rank increases and her power grows stronger. That means the lower her grade and the weaker she is, the more faded it is.
Then, what happened to the fact that the aura was generated by the interaction of the phase forces outside her body, the conclusion she and Yu Lepa had speculated and made through experiments?
Aziera looked back at her yurupa and opened her mouth with a look of pure curiosity.
= So when she first saw the aura her cloaking demon tool, she couldn’t contain her surprise. I was wondering what principle, what mechanism did she borrow, so that she could create such a magic tool? =
As if she was a little embarrassed, Hwanin moved instead of Yurpa, who was looking at her while slightly lifting her eyebrows.
She first takes a table and opens it, then takes a raw egg from her preservation bag and hands it to Aziera.
“Would you like to stand this egg upright without any tools?”
What’s the problem all of a sudden? Aziera tried to stand the egg while she was curious, but she shook her head saying she couldn’t because it didn’t go well.
Hwanin, who received the egg, pointed the wide part downward and stamped it on the table with a crackling sound.
An egg that stands upright with the bottom cracked and hollowed out.
Aziera let out a small exclamation.
“It’s simple if you know the method, but it’s easy to overlook and difficult to achieve. Where I’m from, they call it Columbus’s egg.”
=You’re saying that the creation of the Concealment Magic Tool is the same…….=
Instead of asking if the topic of conversation was more important than the principle, Aziera became immersed in contemplation as she looked at the egg standing upright on the table.
Hwanin glanced at the children who were sleeping soundly side by side on futons in one corner of the carriage, then looked at Agiera again.
She said that she had read more than 70% of the archives in Yeongdo.
She must have accumulated a wide range of knowledge, but she seems to know the core of her labyrinth…….
‘Is it okay if I ask about the core?’
Le Awen = Agi Ossis said that other barons would know that she had touched the core of the labyrinth while breaking through the labyrinth of the spawning pond.
That was a few months ago By now, not only barons who would not want to know about the labyrinth, but also the great saint would know that she had broken through the labyrinth and made contact with the core.
If she meets the great saint here, no matter what her reasons are, there will be a high probability that she will have to reveal the origin of her abilities. Then, in the flow of conversation, the opportunity to acquire the current ability will be mentioned, and naturally, the relationship with the core…….
“…….”
If you want to get her leadership on your side, you have to show the right attitude. If you try to hide her abilities and consistently say, ‘I don’t know’, you will be suspicious of her abilities and will not buy you favors, even though you can hide them.
In this world, there are all kinds of magic tricks, and there are tribes that can see through lies, so even a lie will be exposed quickly.
If I were to tell the truth, I would have to reveal the pattern obtained while contacting the core.
Before doing so, it would be good to first obtain information about the core…… Even if her relationship with Agiera is good, is it really the right decision to ask her honestly?
The question arose about this because of Adneville.
‘The Dragon King of the Lake, who sees through many things, didn’t even mention the pattern. I don’t know if it was because I was interested in the thousand won or there was another reason, but there is a theory that the reason why I didn’t trip over the pattern is because I didn’t have enough interest in the pattern or didn’t detect it…….’
It’s good to hide some power. If so, to what extent will you hide it? How far can you hide a lie without telling it?
As Hwanin frowned inwardly at the countless families, Azierra opened her mouth with a small exclamation.
= I’m sorry. When I’m immersed in her thoughts, I can’t see her surroundings well……. Did you say something?=
“…… Mr. Agiera. Do you know about the core of the labyrinth?”
= Yes? Yes……. For what reason are you asking…… ?=
“I’ve been thinking about why Agiera calls me the light of dawn. So, I guessed something.”
Hwanin saw Agiera’s vision of her exclamation mark popping up on top of her head. The change in her expression was dramatic.
=Are you saying that was the core?!=
“You’re probably aware of the gap between my schedule leaving Helumen and heading to Pravor.”
= Yes…… He disappeared for about four months in Kravin Village.=
Do you know that far? It was the right answer to bring up the story.
Ajiera is in a state where her feelings are biased toward herself to the extent that she not only mixed her body with her, but also took her heart. Convincing and convincing her Agiera right now will help her undertake her spiritual activities.
“The village of Krabin was on the brink of destruction due to the labyrinth that occurred in the Krabin Forest.”
Hwanin, who slowly explains what happened in Krabin Village and the spawning pond labyrinth.
After her hardships, she rescued dozens of her people and exterminated her core, even her eyes widened and she made a moving expression.
“This is the Phase Stone obtained after defeating the Core.”
=Level 6 Red Phase Stone!=
Hwanin continued the story with a smile of repentance on Agiera’s face, who was only surprised and did not reveal even a single milligram of greed.
After that, he saved the town’s high tribe and dozens of others from the core’s spawning ground, and destroyed the core.
“The problem arose after breaking the core. Enveloped in bright golden light…… When I came to my senses, two months had passed.”
One fact was cut into chunks in the middle, but the story itself is all true. Even on Earth, after being enveloped in golden light, I came to my senses and found myself standing in the middle of the forest where the spawning pond used to be.
= How…….=
“After that, my spirit art changed a bit. If you put your mind to it, you can change like this.”
Due to the effect of the pattern-enhanced soul sight, golden light flows from his eyes like a haze.
= English poetry…… Then, marrying Cheonmin in the morning…….=
“You’ve probably heard of a pillar of light rising from Praver.”
=Yes. Oh! No way?=
“I can even respond to the experiences of the soul during its lifetime. There, dozens of souls and forcibly reacted to the wind, so I went through a lot of trouble…….”
To escape from the state of compulsory induction, he spread a wave of tranquility with all his might, and when he said that such a phenomenon had occurred, a look of amazement spread across Agiera’s face.
Ajiera, who was thinking with a serious expression with his eyes open, let out a small sigh and closed his eyes.
= Hwanin… I understand why the Holy Son asked about the heart core. Anyone who has had such an experience would think so. However…… It seems difficult to see that it is because of the core.=
“… Is that so.”
Hwanin carefully observed the change in Agiera’s expression. And…….
=The core is…… It is known as an aggregate of unconsciousness that grants wishes.=
As she intended, she hid her smile inside as she caused her illusion and gave out information about the core without any doubt.
=To explain this method, you have to go back to the distant past by retracing the history of the creation of the labyrinth, and the explanation on this is so vast that even one month of intensive education is not enough. It’s not a simple explanation here.=
“…….”
= It’s a fantastic thing to pass by with this explanation… Since the Holy Son’s curiosity seems to deepen, I will briefly explain. The Labyrinth is a purification device that gathers the mysterious mysteries overflowing in this world, transforms them into phase power, and sprinkles them on the world. Hwanin… What do you think a mystery is?=
“I see it as an unknown that cannot be explained and explained by human wisdom, theory, or common sense.”
= It is as you said. When those mysteries come together, miraculous things happen that cannot be explained in words. And…….=
“Since the core contains such mysteries, if you break it, the miracle of granting people’s wishes will be manifested.”
=…… That’s the correct answer. Mystery is not a phenomenon that is beneficial to people. Because of that, it is said that the ancient continent full of mysteries was a hellish landscape.=
The story that followed was a step forward in theology.
It is a story that the five gods of this world took pity on the humans living on the earth and scattered fragments of power, which absorbed the mysteries, converted them into phasic powers, and re-dispersed them to create a home for people to live on.
=… The fragment of that power is what is now called the Labyrinth.=
Hwanin, who had been listening carefully to the explanation, asked.
“Aziera-sama said that the Core had nothing to do with my ability, but at the time I was acutely aware of my lack of strength. The heart core resonated with the wind and gave it strength…… Wouldn’t it be explained in this way?”
=There are not a few people who have obtained the mystery of the labyrinth. And all of those mysteries materialized. Just like the relics and light spears of Grimoam that the saint obtained.=
Agiera, who drew an unknown sign of the cross with her fingers, added her words with a small smile.
= Just because there was no precedent before, there is no law that there will be no after that. Hwanin… The saint may be the first case. However, among the hundreds and thousands of cases, the mystery has never been materialized, but spiritualized, so for me it is a fantasy… I had no choice but to deny the Holy Son’s guess.=
“… Understand.”
In the story that followed, Hwanin was able to get more information.
Since materialized mysteries have a strong power in themselves, some objects have been transformed into wish-stones that fulfill the owner’s wishes in a slightly unexpected way.
The things obtained through the core are mysterious, so they are slightly against the laws of this world, and they are called relics because their efficacy cannot be nullified by any force.
Some relics are literally worth a castle.
It is said that the reason why the power sometimes dwells in belongings when the core is defeated is because the core has stayed near the core for a long time and has absorbed part of the mystery into its body.
‘It means that Isilite’s Redrick is also a kind of low-class artifact.’
Her weapon, which had changed after defeating the core of the labyrinth, the Giant Skeleton, where Farghist’s light couldn’t reach, boasted an incomprehensible durability that did not go out even though she had cut hundreds or thousands of monsters up to this point.
Perhaps the reason why her weapon had such unusual durability was Issilite’s wish, that she wanted a weapon that would not be broken even by her own strength.
It was said that until now, her weapons were nothing more than disposable consumables that would break quickly.
Smart.
=Master, I’m starting to see zero degrees.=
The side window of the driver’s seat opened and Isilite’s report came in.
Hwanin held Ajiera’s hand and kissed her on the back lightly, expressing his gratitude for sharing knowledge.
= Ah, ah, that’s right…….=
Pretending not to see the flustered Ajiera, Hwanin opened the sunroof on her ceiling and climbed out of her roof. Along with the cooler wind, he saw parts of the majestic yet rugged mountain range that obscured his vision and the picturesque old city below. Could see
It feels like the perspective is distorted because of the distance, but it conveys how big the city is without adding or subtracting.
“Is that city Yeongdo? I heard Yeongdo is halfway up the mountain.”
= That… Silver! As you said…… Ok.=
Hwanin approached the whining Agiera to get up on the roof and put her hand into her armpit, lifting it up.
Ajiera, who had shrunk like a startled cat, smiled shyly and continued her words while deliberately half-cuddled in his arms.
=The city you see now is a city built by pilgrims heading to Yeongdo, Eshnour, gathering one by one. Its name is also a shelter for pilgrims.=
“…….”
It is a large city where hundreds of thousands of people can live. But the name is Shelter…….
Upon hearing Hwanin’s reaction, Ajiera secretly pressed the breast to his chest and smiled softly while talking.
= Everyone who saw the pilgrim’s shelter for the first time was a hwanin… It’s like a saint’s reaction.=
“…….”
Strangely, when he called himself earlier, he deliberately paused one beat at a time. Was it on purpose?
Looking down at her purple hair tickling her own chin, Hwan-in gently dropped her body so that she would not be ashamed, and gave her gaze to Adji, her pilgrim’s shelter.
Yeongdo Eshnoor is an old-fashioned small town on the mountainside of Alnor, Yeongsan (but no ordinary people live there).
Since Yeongsan Mountain itself is made up of very rugged strangely shaped rocks, the only way to reach Yeongdo is through Adji, a pilgrim’s shelter.
To be precise, it was the form in which Adji was blocking the only road to Yeongdo.
There are few tall buildings. Most of the buildings were built by stacking stones and baked bricks, but perhaps because it is a place where people from all over the world live, numerous styles are mixed to create order in chaos.
It is a city with a long history enough to be called Godo, but there is nothing like it that is outdated and unsightly.
Is it because the spiritists come and go several times a day? The city was so clean that there was not a speck of dirt or stain on it, and the clothes of the people were also neat.
It shows a sense of ownership in the city, and it seems that each citizen cherishes and cherishes the city.
Other than that, if there is anything special about Adman…….
= Wow! These are the knights of Agiera Spirit Master!=
=Sirnen~!=
= Aisha! Kyaaak!=
That the spirit knights are no different from the idols of this city.
As we move along the 10-lane Jungang-daero, straight to the entrance to Yeongdo, we hear cheers and shouts of the names of Sernen and his party from all sides.
Even the professions who seemed to be practitioners looked at Sernen and the others with envy, so it was a testament to the status of the spiritists and spirit knights in this city.
In the cheers that are almost like a parade, Anne whispers softly to Isilite in the seat next to her.
=Will we get cheers like this if we go later?=
= That, well? No matter how hard it is, the owner wants you to work quietly, so wouldn’t it be difficult to receive it?=
At the conversation between the two girls, Uv, who was riding the Que next to the driver’s seat, laughed as if asking what he was talking about.
=Who do you think will be the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd most famous and most desired person in Adji right now?=
=…… What do we mean?=
=Yes.=
Uv, who had temporarily left her ranks in vain, took a notice board from her stall and handed it to them.
Accepting it, Anne frowned as if she had seen something bizarre while reading the sentence written in large letters.
=… What’s this. ‘In-depth analysis of the spirit knights of the Green Saint known until now’? No, if you want to know, you have to analyze the sword. Why us…….=
=Spirit Masters are so noble that I dare not say that I love them. As a result, it has become a culture to ardently support the spirit knights who guard and protect the spirit priests instead. In the popular vote held every 3 months, the knights who ranked in the top ranks will be presented with a special dignity maintenance fee in the city…….=
Hwanin listened to Woob’s explanation and gave a single evaluation of the pilgrim’s resting place, Adji.
‘It’s a city with a huge fan club.’
It’s absurd, to the point of laughing, but thinking that this is also the culture of this world, he was a Hwanin who paid attention to the Yeongdo Uphill, which was gradually approaching.
