Chapter 466 – 460 Yeongdo Eshnur
Great Saint Ninsil = Prior to Anag’s meeting, the party changed into costumes made by referring to Korean clothing patterns from the Earth.
It’s because I can’t go there wearing half-combat uniforms and armor that I usually wear when I travel casually to meet someone who can be called the head of Yeongdo.
First, Baek Ryeo-gang and Anne, who were out in the living room, chatted while waiting for someone to change clothes inside.
“Anne. Are those costumes the basic ceremonial clothes of the Holy Fighters of the Church of the Earth God?」
= Yes. It is a must-have outfit for the dignity of the church in a place where you need to be polite. It’s comfortable because I don’t have to worry about my clothes.
“However…… Anne is tall and has pretty silver hair, so I think there will be a lot of dresses that go well with her. I’m sorry.”
= Uh. The dress isn’t real. Look at me If you’re tall, wouldn’t there be something that suits you because you’re tall? And you’re going to see Daeseongnyeo. It’s not a dress outfit. Yes.=
“Is that so? But some of the dresses I know will definitely suit Anne, so if she needs to wear a dress, leave it to me to decorate her. I’ll be sure to decorate it so pretty that even Hwanin-sama will look back on it!”
= Uh, uh I’ll ask you then… ?=
Anne blinked her eyes as she touched the tip of her silver hair at the strange spirit of her eager White Lady River.
She looked gloomy and lackluster until yesterday. Did Doryeong cheer her up separately at night? Than that
‘As expected, smiling is the best thing to see.’
After she became a member of the company, she was Baek Ryeo-gang, who often showed an obsessive need to help.
Anne, Isilite, and Yurpa, who know from experience that such OCD usually end badly, have tried several times to relieve her OCD, but ordinary encouragement and support do not work well, perhaps because they are essentially in a state of spirit without a body. Did not
Still, they did their best, and Baek Ryeo-gang was so nice that when I gave advice and encouragement, I felt relieved for a while with a smile on my face…….
Yesterday, I was worried that my obsessive-compulsive disorder had worsened and showed signs of becoming depressed, but now there is no sign of it.
Noticing her reason, Anne smiled at her and quietly approached her and hugged her and asked.
“Aww! Oh, don’t you?”
= Does Ryegang look good? Did Doryeong give you a hug?
“…….」
=…… Uh, really?=
“Hey, it wasn’t naughty! That… From dawn to dawn, you just held me tight in your arms……. Sunrise together…….」
Oh, was it like that?
Anne thought for a moment. In a quiet living room with no one around her, she basks in the moonlight coming in from the large window that occupies one wall, and she feels warmth and coziness in his arms.
Together in the arms of a man who loves the moment of dawn when the darkness slowly recedes and the black sky is purified by the brilliant light of the rising sun…….
= And…… Good that…….=
Anne hugged her flushed cheeks and eagerly expressed her affirmation by nodding her head in response.
I thought you would know if you didn’t. She deliberately behaves in an easy-going way, but she is kinder and more sensitive than anyone else.
At that moment, the door opened on one side and Isilite and Yurpa walked out, both dressed, and the eyes of the two women flashed open.
“They are both so pretty!”
= Whoa. Even the real Dolyeong will fall in love at first sight, right?=
Yu Lepa covered her big breasts with a light gray shoulder shawl over a white front-slit robe that revealed the curves of her body.
Both the shawl and the robe are white-based fabrics with a simple floral pattern called yeolnyeocho (烈女草) in silver thread, so it is an attractive attire that is not conspicuous but gives off a subtle elegance if you look closely.
Compared to her, Isilite was a figure who captured her man’s heart at once with her attractive outfit with a little bit of liveliness and a little bit of exposure.
A black voluminous lace blouse that neatly hides and gathers the breasts so that the large breasts do not look vulgar.
A neat white button divider skirt that sticks to the lower abdomen while revealing white and immaculate thighs from the middle.
An amber double-lined ribbon belt accentuating the slim waist with black leather knee-high boots.
Here, the bright amber-colored hair that is cutely braided gives a little casual activity, and the charm of vitality is conveyed intact.
Finally, the beautifully scattered aura light particles bring out her beauty to the fullest.
If it’s Luke and the men, it’s to the point that all ten out of ten will look back.
= Wow, but Dew Seul is so pretty? When I saw the pattern, I just thought the clothes were pretty, but now that Seul is wearing them, the clothes and body completely adorn each other, so it feels like the charm is doubled.
“Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen someone who looks so good in skirts like this!”
= Right? While I was making it, I thought it would be really pretty if Lady Seul Lee wore it!=
Women circling around her isilite attached to two praising her own work, prying at the hem of her short skirt or touching the slight puffiness of her shoulder, pouring out her compliments.
= No, don’t make fun of me…….=
Isilite, who has become a spectacle in her sleep, tries to resist feebly, blushing in her face.
= You’re kidding me! We’re telling the truth now! Isn’t it?=
“Right!”
= Well then. But I don’t know what to say about this belt. It’s similar to a sword belt, but it’s thin and cute, so I made it.
= Yes. I think it would be perfect if you put something like a sword breaker on it.=
= Ugh…….=
They are the ones who don’t stop praising them for being even cuter.
= Lord, Master. Where is the master?=
Isilite, unable to bear the awkwardness of her compliments, tries to change her subject.
Her intentions were clear, but Anne, who knew from experience that her fierce palms would come flying if she played any more, smiled and pointed at her garden.
There, Hwanin, dressed in a costume that would be worn by a male protagonist in a gothic or steampunk virtual world, was talking with a panda-headed man with two children.
A black suit with a black trendy coat that seems to have been upgraded from the usual magician’s outfit in a vest suit.
Previously, it was a suit reinforced with leather for combat, but this one is for the ceremony, reducing the amount of leather and using more high-quality fabric to enhance the dignity.
As we walk towards it, we hear a voice talking.
“…… So I want to support these children, but what way is there?”
=If the Holy Son sponsors the children…… They have two futures. One is to stay at a higher education institution with a dormitory in Adji, complete the education, and then get a job in the city administration. The other is to stay and eat in Yeongdo and begin training to become a spiritual master. They’re both at the right age and both are smart, so it won’t be difficult for them to adapt to practice.
“If I can’t become a soul master, will I become a city or village grave keeper?”
=There is such a future, and if the person in question wants to remain in Yeongdo, there is also a way to become a professional who assists spirit priests like me.=
“Woove-sama also wanted to die of souls.”
Haha. A thing of the past… Joe…… ?=
Uv, who answered with a smile, forgot what to say when he saw a group of women approaching from the other side and stared blankly at them.
The world-class masters in sophisticated costumes that are familiar yet unfamiliar.
When four women are together, Michu is divided among them, but each one of them is beautiful like a beauty goddess, and it feels like they get along without harming each other’s beauty and become more beautiful.
Woove said inwardly that he was very envious of Hwanin.
=Everyone, the doubles are really…… It’s neat yet sophisticated. It must be the work of a famous craftsman.=
Hwanin also looked back at them and nodded her head in admiration.
All of them are outfits that add the western beauty of Nionebreth Continent Radsea to the sophistication of Korea in the 21st century. It must be a style rarely seen in this world.
“It’s Yurpa’s workmanship.”
= Huh! Oops, excuse me.=
I heard that he was a person who made a lot of money by catching a lot of strong heterogeneous species and breaking through labyrinths of estimated 5-6 levels.
He also stopped by several large cities along the way, so he wondered if he had matched expensive clothing there, but he couldn’t believe it was a work made by the accompanying spirit knight himself.
=…….=
Yurpa responded with a neat smile to Ub’s apology, and Hwanin asked with a slightly concerned expression.
“More than that. Seeing Uve-nim react like that, I’m concerned about whether it’s okay to go on like this.”
Uv waved his hand in embarrassment at the story of what he would do if he was seen as debauched or enjoying extravagance.
= Ah, ah! No. If you spend extravagant entertainment by receiving expensive money and valuables in exchange for sexual misfortune of a noble or noble family, a warning is issued from the level of the state, but in the case of the Hwanin saint, it is rather contributing to the revitalization of the market economy. No problem at all.=
Consumption commensurate with ability is not considered a luxury, let alone clothes made by oneself.
‘Huh. Saint Hwanin is indeed…… You are blessed both as a soul master and as a man.’
Seeing Jin’s affectionate gaze toward Hwanin, Woob, who was once again envious inside, opened her mouth while hiding those feelings with a smile.
=If you are ready, we will guide you to Pilryeonggung Palace.=
“Yes. Ar, ara Play and wait until we get back. You don’t have to climb over the fence and go outside.”
=Yes, saint.=
= Yes….=
The Hwanin party, each riding a Que and following Ub, moved not towards the tabletop, but into a huge semi-cavity in the mountain.
Thick and gigantic stone pillars are erected throughout the space, which appears as if the mouth is open, forming a real folding screen with a sense of distance.
In the solemn scenery, the women chatted in low voices.
= Everywhere you look, it looks like a folding screen with Seokju……. It seems that the mountain was built on purpose to prevent it from collapsing. Was this scene intended?
= If you look at the shape of the ceiling, it’s a natural large cavity. There’s no way such an artificially-looking stone pillar could have been created naturally, so it must have been built by a person.=
“I read in the book that the Proud people put a lot of effort into making Yeongdo.”
= Oh. If it were those guys, they could make something like that.=
Proud race…… Is it the race that sold the Celestial Tabernacle in Helumen?
While looking around the folding screen of Seokju, Hwanin got the feeling that the shape of it strangely drew attention to one direction.
It feels like there will be Pilyeonggung (弼靈宮), which is said to be where the great saint lives.
= Uh-huh. It is a terrain that is very difficult to create a tabletop map, but there are mountains attached to it, and what is the probability that even a large cave like this is in the mountains…….=
=If you search the entire continent, wouldn’t there be nothing but this place?=
The women whispering while passing by the stone pillar with a diameter of 30m shut their mouths when they see seven people who appear to be monks walking quietly from the opposite side.
Attendants in dark gray robes passed by, slightly bowing their heads to Hwanin’s party.
The girls also slightly bowed their heads, and after they all passed, uh, let out a small sigh of tension.
The sincerity felt even though he is not a soul master and only a practitioner.
= I’m kind of nervous….=
In response to Isilite’s self-talk, Anne nodded slightly, then glanced at the monks who were gradually moving away.
= I think it’s more because the atmosphere is solemn. The monks who just passed by than that, the younger one seems to be about as young as Arhago Ara…… Something is great. =
To start practicing asceticism away from parents at such a young age. Anne could not imagine the pain they would go through.
After hearing the story, Ub looked back for a moment and then quietly smiled and explained.
=Because the earlier you start practicing, the better=
The more you accumulate, the farther you are from awakening, and the more ordinary the environment down there, the worse the accumulation of killing. That is why there are many people who come to Yeongdo to practice asceticism.
“I heard that at the moment of awakening, you must receive all the grudges of the lives you have damaged up to that point in the river of light. Is that why?=
=Yes. That is why it is to practice asceticism and build virtue in Yeongdo at an altitude of 852m.
At 850m above sea level, it is an environment in which quite a few insects cannot live.
The floor is hard rock, so insects like ants don’t roam around, and there are few plants except for mansions and small parks.
Meals are brought in every day by pulley elevators, not phase force elevators, and only fruits and vegetables are provided to practitioners.
An environment in which young practitioners, who are still young, have weak impulses and self-control, and are distracted, do not inadvertently harm small creatures such as insects.
Not only that, but they are forced to lead an ascetic life.
A practitioner should not be stained with selfish desires for the sake of a clean and pure mind.
After becoming a spirit master, there are no restrictions on diet, but before that, meat is prohibited. It is forbidden to laugh and talk loudly. Avoid crowded and crowded places.
Prohibited Ascetic life in a desolate place like this would be 30 years at most.
=After such penance, you became a spirit priest and went through sexual misfortune for the sake of the world…….=
=Isn’t that why you are respected?=
In a way, it is a life of self-sacrifice.
“…….”
Hwanin stayed quiet as he listened to Woob’s explanation.
He himself has lived a life far from asceticism. Even if it was thanks to the mysterious staff that Green Hob was holding that he awakened as a spirit master, all he could touch from the river of light was the life he had killed.
I couldn’t see any meat I had eaten until I was 26 in that river of light, and most of all…….
‘Plants must be a life too.’
Eating a vegetarian diet in order not to save money is just ridiculous sophistry in the eyes of Hwanin. Because plants are living things too.
However, denying their life and beliefs in a place close to a religious city is tantamount to fighting.
Hwanin, who had reached the innermost part of Zero Island by walking along a clean path free of dust or stone dust, stared blankly at the building in front of him for a while.
‘Are there any Japanese or Chinese spirit masters among the high-ranking officials in the previous kingdom?’
Arranged parts can be seen in many places, but there was a building in front of him that would exclaim, “Huh?” To anyone who has encountered their culture and style.
= I have arrived. This is Pilyeonggung, the shrine where successive great saints and great saints live.=
The white and gray wooden structure, which could easily accommodate about 20 people, was inspired by Japanese shrines and Chinese temples.
As the party gets off the back of Que, a woman in a gray-white plain robe from the annex of Pilyeonggung Palace silently approaches and politely hands over the reins of the Que.
What is it?
“I’ll be back for a while, so follow him and wait.”
Quit.
I wonder what this woman is trying to drag him, so he sends Bi-sang, who refuses to go, and Hwan-in, taking a small breath in from her, moves toward Woob waiting at her entrance.
‘This will be the watershed of Nionebreth’s journey.’
Depending on how strong you form a relationship with her woman, the Great Saint, it will determine whether your future journey will be comfortable or annoying.
The other side seems to know themselves well, but this side doesn’t know the other side, so tension arises naturally.
I don’t know much about Baekjunggang Daesaengnyeo, and she tried to get her information through Le Awen of the Church of the Land God, but she only replied that she was a great person.
‘A person who is respected by everyone.’
Hwanin thinks that such a thing is only an impostor. Doesn’t he get an answer just by looking at himself?
If there really is such a person in this world, he must be a being close to God…….
As I entered the gateless entrance of the shrine with Ub, something like a floor appeared.
=You can take off your shoes and go up.=
=Woove isn’t going with you?=
At Anne’s question, which took a while to take off because they were long boots that came up to his thighs, Oub grinned and placed a hand on his chest.
=Yes. I have to leave Yeongdo for another mission from now on.=
“You worked hard to guide me to this place.”
At the story of Hwanin who took off her boots and went up to the floor, Woob smiled and said.
= No. Attending the Holy Son was an honor for me too. Go up to the floor and follow the path to the left. There will be someone there to guide you. Then I’m done.=
= Good bye see you next time =
At the light greetings of Anne and the bows of Isilite, Yurpa, and Baekryeogang, Ubu also smiles and bows slightly before leaving the shrine.
“…….”
After saying goodbye to Woob, Hwanin went up to the floor and moved as he said, quietly inspecting the inside of the shrine.
Only the exterior resembles a shrine, but the inside feels like a palace with many ordinary thresholds attached.
However, Korean palaces have rooms and courtyards attached to each other, so you have to wear new shoes to move to another place.
However, if it feels like a classic Japanese mansion, it’s not, the door is a door made of shoji paper. The floor of the room, visible through the crack in the slightly open door, has a tatami room and an ondol room…….
Hwanin laughed as he felt a little bit of tension at the foundationless structure, which was a mixture of styles from all kinds of Asian cultures.
The fact that my girlfriends are so nervous that they act like kittens who came home for the first time also helps to relax.
Entering the place where Woob said, where the four roads diverged, Hwanin noticed an unexpected person standing neatly dressed in a mixture of hanbok and gray shaman’s attire, and opened his eyes a little wide.
“… Elkata-sama!”
Like Hwanin, Baek Ryeo-gang, who had been absent-minded for a moment, shouted with a bright face, but he did not go forward and only made a happy expression.
EL Kata responds to her with a gentle smile.
“It’s been a while, Elkata.”
Hwanin, who had quickly recovered from the slight embarrassment caused by the unexpected incident, bowed slightly and greeted, and the women standing behind him each bowed their heads.
As she greeted them, as women who love a man, they instinctively noticed that she was in a deep relationship with her Hwanin, and were a little nervous.
She was told that she first met her at Wayford. If so, the story that she had a relationship with Hwanin before anyone else here.
Furthermore…….
= Uh…… I hoped it was true… ?=
Isilite and Yurpa intuit that there is something else wrong with Anne’s whispering to herself.
Swoop-
Irrespective of the women’s wary gazes, Elkata puts her hands together and bows deeply to Hwanin.
But she didn’t say a word and took out a card the size of her palm with a gentle smile on her face.
[Nice to meet you.]
[It is called Elkata.]
Then, Hwanin asked as she bowed her waist again.
“Are you practicing your motto?”
[That’s right.]
It is unlikely that she, who had awakened to her spirit master, had an accident in which she lost her voice, and when she asked for a guess that came naturally, it was sure to be real.
It can’t be just a maxim with her self-discipline. Does that mean she’s training for something?
Hwanin nodded her head and said with a slightly soft expression.
“I am relieved to see that you are safe. Nice to meet you again.”
[Nice to see you too.]
Hwanin’s women felt an alarm going off in their heads as they exchanged glances with Hwanin with a flushed face, as if they were invisible.
[I will see you guys.]
Hwanin, who was following El Kata, who showed the card and took the lead, felt Anne slightly pulling her sleeve from behind and turned around.
= Doryeong. How do you know that girl……. No, deep relationship?=
Hwanin replied, looking at the golden hair of El Kata ahead of her and the long ears unique to the Fleurs that protruded slightly from there.
“Okay.”
Then, realizing that Anne’s serious expression meant that there was something about her that only she knew about, she asked Hwanyeon to block her voice and asked quietly.
“You seem to be concerned about something.”
= Uh……. That lady, if I’m not mistaken, is the daughter of the Elwidris family.=
“Is there something wrong with that family?”
=…… Her family is the most important family in the tribal union nation. For thousands and hundreds of years, I have been predicting the great and the small of Marianol. Because of that, the status is high, but if I were to rank it here, it would be about the 8th level baron.
“It must be quite a political matter for her to be here.”
= Even now, requests from the El Widris family to return her to her Merianol are still coming. Almost 2 years ago? Did you say you woke up around that time? The fact that that lady is here means that she has been rejecting it ever since then…….=
=…….=
Isilite’s expression was filled with worry as she heard Anne’s worried story.
Shortly after arriving in Farghest, she had been visited by a woman named Lorna Aurora the night before she was going to see Anne.
She hinted that there was something wrong with her family, El Katar, and her. And her master, who exchanged letters and gifts with her, threatening her with her half-heartedness…….
It was at a time when her worries were rising like dark clouds in Isilite’s mind.
“Funny.”
Hwanin sincerely thought that and smiled.
‘The fact that she guides me like that must be an expression of her intention that the Great Saint will not be hostile to her.’
The enemy who dragged her into this world, and the social high-ranking members of the tribal union country who must be disapproving of her.
If it were them, she would have known that she was a dimensional wanderer, but how would Merianole, a tribal union nation, see herself as having a close relationship with Yeongdo?
And how are you thinking of dealing with it?
Hwanin does not hide the smile on his lips and follows Elkata, who walks ahead with a neat gait.
Behind him, Isilite and Anne did not hide their worries and concerns, and at the sight of the two, Baeknyeogang and Yurpa also shut their mouths and glanced at them and Hwanin.
