Chapter 518 – 512 the Stranger of Hrasrind
Anne, who silently walked between her houses like a ghost following her ghost, let out a sigh close to her sigh.
= And… This isn’t much…….=
= Yes? What?=
As a (self-proclaimed) apprentice spirit knight, Baek Ryo-gang, who had been keeping her keen sense of touch while watching her senior sisters as a (self-proclaimed) apprentice spirit knight, asked her with a pricked ear.
= Yes. Castle wall magic protection consumes a lot of phase power, so I understand leaving it off normally. In small cities, it is difficult to charge that much phase power. However…… Look around. You haven’t seen one of the night patrols since you entered the middle street. There is no one passing by.=
= Ah…….=
=Are there hardly any lights on in the private house? What do you think this means?=
=… The hardships of life are so severe that I can’t even turn on the lights, and I think I can’t go outside because the security is getting worse.
= Right. Yeongju doesn’t pay any attention to the distance between the middle class and the lower class. =
=…….=
Baek Ryogang, who quickly realized what it meant because he was from a powerful family, made a sullen expression.
=And in this situation, parasites that live by sucking the blood of others are approaching.=
Anne, whose hearing is more sensitive than anyone else in her group due to the nature of the Fleur, points to the alley toward her corner.
There, a group of figures came out messing around in old leather armor. Giggling as she throws the dagger in her hand is a bonus.
= Kick Kickie…… Heck?=
= A bad kid running around at this time…… Huh?=
The hair on his face was stuck here and there, his ears were torn and there were many stitch marks, so he missed the dagger he threw and cut his hand.
The man who caught the sound of five or so walking laughed at them, saying, “Idiots who think they are safe in groups,” And planned to kidnap them all…….
=…….=
Serureung-
I screamed inwardly at the sight of a man with an aura of a rare job wearing a hooded cloak whose true identity was unknown, but who seemed stout at first sight, pulling out a knights sword with a murderous killing force.
Hey, why are people like that here?!
Three out of five jobs. One of them is an ordinary mystic, but even that looks like a 6th grade, and the other two are rare jobs that I have never seen before.
Why are there people who would fit in the knights of the lord’s castle or the grand mansion of a baron instead of being in a place like this?
“Isilite.”
=Yes, Master.=
“They don’t deserve to be alive. Kill them all.”
=Yes.=
Contrary to what he expected to be moderately intimidated or beaten back, the order to kill was given, but Issilite did not waver and flew in lightly and swung his sword.
—…….
Isilite, who drew an S shape like a swallow with a silent sword strike, turned around and inserted the knight’s sword.
The gangsters at the bottom of the middle-class street organization were curious at the unknown figure turning away from them, but soon realized that it was an opportunity to escape and turned around in a hurry.
The fact that rare jobs of at least 5th grade or higher appeared on the streets is a sign that something unusual is about to happen. Go back to the hideout and inform the boss.
‘Maybe the lord has finally made up his mind. Calling a cleaner like that…… All…… Kill…… Think…….’
However, they couldn’t walk even three steps, and their heads and bodies were divided and they fell.
He didn’t even know that he had been decapitated by such a neat sword strike.
“The red-tailed gang only thinks of people on the streets as money and toys…… !”
「Kuh……. My sister, too, was taken by those bastards…… ! I went to look for my brother…… ! Heh heh heh!!」
「Huh…….”
Watching the fountain of her blood rise and then gradually recede behind Isilite as she walked this way, her illusion heard her spirits roar around him and let out a long breath.
Little by little, her tingling resentment creeps into her mind, even though she puts up some pretty solid mental defenses against her soul touches.
Looking at this, tonight might not be sexual misfortune, but rather cleaning.
The souls we encountered along the way are venting their resentment and anger toward the gang of violent human traffickers on the middle-class streets, and the number is not small.
‘Maybe there’s a hybrid growing somewhere.’
This year is the year of the Seungryeong Cheonje, which is held every leap year.
Since the city in this situation is concerned about the occurrence of confusion, and there is no way to carry out spiritual stabilization by calling the spirit master every year, the situation is that the souls have accumulated as much as they have accumulated over the past four years.
However, it is not like that if there are mixed induction flowers and ilil flowers planted all over the city.
If it weren’t for the trees planted all over the city, it would have been a dull gray city with no greenery. Here in Hraslind, I invited a spiritist for four years and didn’t have any sexual misfortune, and I spread flowers to try to figure out the occurrence of hybridization in advance. Didn’t even try
“…….”
Hwanin noticed that her girlfriends were looking at him seriously with a slightly nervous look, and she told them why he was keeping his mouth shut.
“…… So maybe we should prioritize cleaning Hraslind’s organization over sexual misfortune.”
Noticing the seriousness of her situation from his explanation, Anne habitually adjusted her hood and asked.
=Are all the souls sacrificed to that organization?=
“That’s the case with the 17 souls I’ve seen so far.”
=…… There must be a mixture somewhere in the real city?=
Baekryeoggang also asks in a voice full of concern at her sincere reaction.
= Hwanin…… What if the honjae wants the death of the lord?=
“What you worry about won’t happen. Directly tampering with the lord’s family would not only cause a great hindrance to our journey, but it would also cause problems in Yeongdo.”
Hwanin, who answered that, continued as he looked at the souls who were crying and creating a gloomy atmosphere.
“I only have one thing to do here.”
Hwanin, who smiled a little at the nervousness of his girlfriends about what had happened, started moving his steps again.
“We don’t know yet if there is a mix. Let’s look around the city now. Even though Hraslind is small compared to other cities, there won’t be enough time to see it all tonight.”
= Ah… Yes.=
=Yes.=
Hwan-in recalled the map of Hraslind in his mind and quickly wandered around the middle-class streets.
The topography of Hrasrind is a typical fan shape, with the handle of the fan being the upper street, and at the end of it is the Flavian cliff and the lord’s castle.
The middle part of the fan is an intermediate street, and at the right end of such an intermediate street, there is a labyrinth, another maze of forests.
The lower level street, which is several times wider than the combined middle and high level streets and is adjacent to the end of the jungle of Rottings, is a landscape no different from the slash-and-burn village.
The place where Hwanin started to turn was the middle of the three streets.
There was no particular reason why it started spinning from here in the first place. I just chose it because my primary goal was to find a useful soul, and the closest place to the inn I was staying at was an intermediate distance.
When he went all the way around such an intermediate distance, there were over 300 souls gathered around him.
Even his women, who could not see or feel the spirits, feel something creepy and creepy as the spirits of that number gather in one place and sob and shed dark anger.
=Middle… 300 souls in just one street, crazy.
Isilite, who heard Anne’s words to herself, asked in a low voice, clutching the hilt of her knight’s sword instead of Redrick Alter, since she was in the city.
=How many citizens of Hraslind?=
“If you look at this scale, it would be about 20,000 people when the upper and middle classes are combined. The population of the lower streets cannot be counted in this situation.”
But I wonder if there will be at least 80,000 people.
=If there are 300 souls at a distance of 20,000 people, more than 1,000 souls can come out even if it is not possible at a lower distance.=
“Depending on how the anger towards the lord is in the poor environment, it will increase if it increases, but it will not decrease from that number.”
Lucky for me, I didn’t get mixed up at intermediate distances. The problem is the low street.
Hwanin, who identified the location of the three back alley organizations through the information of the spirits, weighed the two options on the scale, then turned around and spoke to her girlfriends.
“Going down to the lower streets.”
=Doryeong, are you going to climb the wall again?=
“No. This time, we will go through the second inner gate.”
=It should be known that the spirit master has appeared?=
“Okay.”
Hwanin, who replied that he intended to do so, walked toward the middle gate of the second inner wall in front of him and shot a wave of tranquility mixed with aura.
Faaat—
Not the usual grayish-white ripples, but very faint golden-colored light ripples spread out, and about 300 souls following Hwanin were engulfed in a wave of aura and visualized.
=…… !=
Even the women of Hwanin were shocked to see the legion of souls. The guards, who had been passing the time yawning during the tedious night guard work, almost dropped their spears in fright.
= Who, who are you! Oh no, who… Who are you?!=
= Hey, you crazy bastard… ! Of course, who is the Spirit Master? !=
Among the three gates of the second inner wall, the west gate, the middle gate, and the east gate, the guard post at the middle gate was in a commotion.
I haven’t received any notification that the Spirit Corps has entered the city, so how is it?
The night watchman, who rushed to the guards’ report, almost started a game at the countless spirits surrounding the castle gate, then looked at five people wearing hooded cloaks and hooded robes hurriedly walking this way.
Who is the soul? …… What. Why can’t I see an aura like a glowing phenomenon?
The head of the guard is in a half panic and grabs the soldier who came to report by the collar and threatens him slightly.
= This baby, there is no soul. !=
= Oh, over there! The one at the front of the five used Wave of Tranquility… ! Me and Yunkel definitely saw… !=
=…… ?!=
What? The history of the souls of those who do not manifest auras?
‘…… There’s only one person like that who’s supposed to be known!’
The savior of Bijalux and Linden, whose fame is spreading all over Radsea, and the rare saint who stopped the flood by calming the demon dragon of Alsop!
The head of the guard recalled a conversation he had with the upper class a few days ago when he was entering the high street.
The story that a great spirit master appeared in Yeongdo, and it seems that the spirit master is the green saint known to the world.
And the story that the green saint seems to be the next great saint.
Lastly, the story that Her Majesty the Queen of the capital seems to be keeping an eye on the saint!
Heck, heck. Ugh.
The superintendent felt her breathing quicken due to hyperventilation, but she couldn’t help but panic.
In his mind, the inappropriate actions, corruption, and corruption that he has been doing so far come to mind and disappear.
If that person was a real Green Saint, communication with the spirits would be very simple, but if that many souls told the Green Saint about the corruption they had committed…… !
In the meantime, Hwanin, who arrived at the castle gate, quietly spoke to the warden, who was in panic.
“It’s late, but I’m trying to get down to the lower streets. Could you please open the door?”
= I, I…….=
The goat-headed warden stutters with shaky eyes without thinking about opening the door.
Isilite instinctively sensed that some nonsense would come out of her outpost commander’s mouth, so she summoned two greatswords of light, multi-sword weapons, floated beside her, and roared forward.
=If you bring up a story that will dirty the ears of the saint, I will cut you.=
Upset!
Thinking of how to pay the saint a bribe pretending to be a donation, the guard commander gives orders to open the door with a clumsy hand gesture to the soldiers who have already arrived without a sound due to Isilite’s pressure.
It just wasn’t a threat. If I had opened my mouth, I would have really been cut.
Damn! Of course, there is something to be done at night at this time! If it wasn’t for today, I wouldn’t have to worry about this…… !
I feel resentful and unfair, but there is no way to escape this situation. The guard here prayed in my heart that the saint and his party would just pass by.
「Uhhh…….」
「Uuuuu…….」
“Kektal…… Kektaaaaal…… !”
Heaven did not hear his prayers.
Hwanin confirmed that as many as 20 people out of 300 had a grudge against the head of the guard, and gave a soft order to Isilite who was returning.
“Isilite. You must give him a bad taste on behalf of the souls.”
=… Yes, master.=
Realizing what the bitter taste means, Isilite raises his knight’s sword in its sheath and returns to the superintendent exhaling a chill.
The superintendent, startled by him, shouted as he hurriedly backed away.
=Wait! Hey, please wait! Why, why are you saying that!?=
“Souls are burning with a grudge against you. You yourself know better why they are so angry.”
=I, I am a centurion appointed by the lord of Hraslind, Kroal Dumd, the lord of Hraslind! Me, if you touch me, there could be a big diplomatic problem between Yeongdo and Radsea!!=
“I don’t think so.”
Although the head of the guard made a threat that was not a threat while breathing heavily, Hwanin did not even blink. Rather, it was an act that only drew out Issilite’s anger rather than Hwanin.
Isilite was furious with the superintendent who was threatening Hwanin, and with more force than originally planned, he terribly swung the knight’s sword with the thought of breaking his limb bones.
Puck! Clap, clap! Fast!
= Kkeah— Kyeok, Kkeuh heh! Mehehe!=
Every time the knight’s sword was swung along with the sound of pagong, the superintendent screamed and twisted her body to avoid the pain…….
Puff! Woojik, duduk! Bubbly!
Hehe! Buy, save… Kkuheik! Meken!=
It was a futile struggle for Isilite, who had learned how and where to hit her body, how painful it would be, how to break a bone, and how to fall down.
1 minute. Bubbles of blood bubbled from the mouth of the head of the guard, who was unable to collapse and was beaten all over the body with fractures and bruises.
Well. Something is missing to end here.
While thinking for a moment, Isilite looked at the spirits standing behind Hwanin, and realized one thing from the angry but calm expressions on their faces.
And finally, as if showing off, he swung his knight sword wide and hit her head, and with a clear and clear sound, the superintendent closed her eyes and passed out.
It was an expression that relieved all resentment with that blow.
=Those two must have died because of the goat man…….=
“…….”
Souls ascending to heaven, scattering gray-white light powder.
With a small nod, Hwanin moves his steps toward the open gate of my castle, passing through the heavily frightened soldiers.
About 300 souls followed him. On that march the city slowly began to awaken.
Due to the commotion at the middle gate of the second inner wall, the lower-class street, which can be called a shantytown, woke up really quickly.
The saint came out from the middle gate!
Uh huh Where?! Chinese!?
I heard that the chief of the garbage sentinel in Jungmun got beaten up by the spirit knight?!
Wow, let’s go right now!
The sound of people running and shouting lights up lights in houses that had been turned off, or more and more people run out of their homes in pajamas carrying lanterns and lanterns.
=Yeah, I’m the spirit master…….=
=Spirit Master is in misfortune…….=
= Now, wait a minute. He doesn’t have an aura.=
=…… Is a saint It’s the Green Saint!=
=We, a green saint has come to our city…… !=
Then, upon discovering Hwanin and the spirit procession following him, all the citizens began to follow the spirit procession as if possessed.
Paaaaa…….
= Spread, it is a wave of tranquility……. Ah…….=
= Uhhhhh…….=
Occasionally, the citizens of the low-class streets, caught in the waves of tranquility, shed tears due to the overwhelming emotions, and sometimes bowed their heads and prayed to Hwanin.
A single ray of light shining in the dark hell of life.
It felt like the beam of light was quietly caressing people’s deep han.
Not long after walking, the number of souls began to increase exponentially, and more people than that number gathered to follow Hwanin.
100, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000.
Among them, there were those who recognized the spirits and called them by name in awe or sobbing.
= Father? Father !=
=Dad, it’s me! It’s Myon!=
= Honey…… !=
= Mom, Mom……. Aww…….=
Families who were abducted and whose life or death were unknown, people who cried out in tears at the sight of their families who were kidnapped and never returned.
As such people continue to increase one by one and start approaching the soul, the surroundings gradually become noisy.
Hwanin’s women felt a slight sense of crisis and wariness at the situation.
Hwan-in, who walks slowly with her eyes half-closed as if in a trance state, and a little confusion at the end of the procession of souls.
It’s not just one or two, it’s a situation where thousands of people have gathered. Hundreds even if only 10% of them come out. If they caused problems, it could seriously affect your sexual misfortune now.
Realizing that fact, Yurpa called Isilite and Anne in a low voice.
=Miss Dew, Lady Anne. People are gathering too much. Need to clean up If you do this, you may disturb yourself and your sexual misfortune will stop.=
=…… !=
Isilite and Anne, who brightened their eyes at Yurupa’s point, left Hwanin’s side to Baek Ryogang and Yurupa, and then divided into left and right and lined up people.
= It’s the Holy Son’s sexual misfortune! Even if you see the souls of your family, do not be impatient and wait for the Holy Son to grant you time!!=
=You must not interfere with the saint’s sexual misfortune! Stay away and stay away! You shouldn’t come over there…… !=
While the girlfriends were cleaning up the crowds, Hwanin was being stimulated by the cold from the growing spirits.
Unlike when you insert your arm into the spiritual body to absorb the cold, the cold of countless souls and the cold inside the body resonate more…… The feeling of being pure and refined.
In the meantime, people continue to gather, and now the small alleys along the roadside where Hwanin goes are starting to be filled with people, and as if attracted by the procession of spirits, souls fly in from afar and join them, and the scale grows larger and larger.
The number of people exceeded 10,000 and the number of souls exceeded 1,000.
Nevertheless, Hwanin, who did not stop, arrived at Crossroads, where the commercial district was maintained.
Hwanin opened his eyes and let out a cool look.
It is the target place.
The purpose of coming here is to destroy one of the three remaining organizations in Hrasrind.
Hwanin stood in front of a building on one side of the crossroads, in front of an old two-story inn-like wooden building, caught a low-level spirit, turned it into a soul explosion orb, and shot it with only 3% of the energy of the pattern.
Kugu Palace—!
A glyph-enhanced soul blast that flies rapidly and creates a 7m diameter explosion at the center of a building.
With that blow, a wooden building that had been turning from brown to black for too long was smashed to pieces, scattering tree fragments and people everywhere.
… Aaaaah—
Ahhh…… !
Aaah…… !
Thump, thump- thump, thuddeng—
People froze high in the sky and then froze like ice at the sight of humans falling.
It was due to the fact that the known soul master, who had no fighting ability, fired a gasping attack, and the fact that the attack was performed in the hideout of the notorious red-tailed gangsters on the lower streets.
A woman from the Inho tribe who fell from a good 10 meters and stuttered like a bug.
“You are the leader of the Red Tails.”
= Heck…… ! You, you… How…… !=
A woman with a red fox tail, physically and spiritually mortally wounded from an attack while sleeping, gasps in her underwear, revealing her inner flesh, and looks at her with cloudy eyes.
Although the aura of a 5th-class warrior wraps around the body, it is impossible to exert one’s strength in pain as if one’s soul is being torn apart by a soul explosion.
Why why? Suddenly why?
To a woman in her late 20s who clearly showed such confusion, Hwanin spoke in a voice without any emotion.
“Look around you.”
Gray, gray, gray. All around are gray souls.
As soon as their eyes met, the spirits showed demonic anger!
“There are hundreds of souls who hold grudge against you, and the same number of souls who wish you dead. What do you think this means?”
= Everything… Resentment. Seo, castle…… Ruler….=
“I have no right to punish souls. But as a human being, I can bring justice to you, a heinous criminal.”
Boooung—
The core of the light spear in Hwanin’s hand spreads a fierce vibrating sound and transforms into a spear of light. Hwanin holding it high.
Hwanin, who held a light lance aloft like a torch burning white, seemed to people to be the revealer of the divine light sent down from heaven.
Fluffy, fluffy.
People kneel in turn and offer prayers, but the souls cry out, as if to pay their grievances.
Hwanin listened to the mournful sounds made by people and spirits together, and with tears mingled with blood, as if begging for help, she thrust a light spear into the heart of the red-tailed female leader who reached out her hand.
* *
=… What a fuss this is in the middle of the night.=
=The green star of Bijalux, known as the candidate for the next great saint of Yeongdo, appeared on the lower street. Currently, thousands of citizens and hundreds of thousands of souls are in the process of sexual misfortune…….=
…… Wow…… !!
… Wow…… !!!
The butler, who had been reporting to the shouts that made the windows slightly flutter, fell silent for a moment.
The lord of Hrasrind, Kroal-Dumd, crossed the luxurious bedroom and approached the window, pulling back the thin curtains that fluttered in the moonlight and stars.
And when he opened the window, he saw the view of the city bathed in moonlight along with the damp wind.
=…….=
He didn’t even have to look away to find the source of the commotion. What immediately caught his eye was the figure of a man holding up what looked like a torch of light in the middle of a shanty town on a dirty lower street.
An army of grey-white spirits surrounded the man, and a number of citizens many times greater than the army of spirits.
=…… It bothers me.=
= Lord. He is a candidate for the next great saint who has been recognized by the seven spiritualities in Yeongdo. As much as he is acquainted with the current Prince of the capital…….=
=I know, so shut up.=
=…….=
Croal = Doom, who blocked the butler’s advice with an annoyed look, closed his eyes that only showed annoyance.
Today, the priest of the Church of the Earth God came to visit us and made a noise and annoyance. Was that in the background?
=You are a great person in a city that is too small and has only beast gods and land gods, a city with nothing to see.=
Kroal = Doom, who laughed at him in a tone that showed only indifference, let alone affection, drew his curtains back nervously.
=I’ll go back to sleep, so you’ll take care of the rest.=
=…… Yes, lord.=
The butler felt sorrow and pain at the sight of the lord, who had changed so much, and left the lord’s room by bending his back and slowly walking backwards.
