Chapter 555 – 548 Giant’s Forest Labyrinth
“Can you say that you brought a monster you couldn’t handle, and you didn’t mean to leave the monster to us and run away?”
=Wait, definitely not!=
Gaya, who had been frozen by the shocking story, hurriedly waved her hands as her white face turned even paler. The reason for the disappearance of blood must be due to the amount of blood shed.
=We heard the noise of the battle and guessed that there would be Seongje’s party on this side…… !=
“Since you guessed it, did you intend to bring it and die together?”
= It’s not like that… !=
No matter what I tried to say, I felt frustrated when I had to go to Hwanin’s way of speaking.
“Your skills are barely enough to deal with one of those shadow monsters. If not, why did you drag six of them this way?”
But even with two mouths, there is nothing to say.
It was true that they could only handle one deformed silhouette mare with their own skills, and it was also true that they brought six of them even after knowing that Seongjenim and his party were on this side.
If we only look at the facts, we cannot say that the hypothesis of Seongjenim is wrong.
At that moment, Gaya read death in Hwanin’s eyes.
She had heard of it too. Even if their throats are blown away while fooling around in the labyrinth, they can’t go anywhere to complain.
Dump.
Knowing that there is only one way to live, Jojang knelt down in front of Hwanin. Realizing the seriousness of the situation at that action, the three members of the group also kneel in the same way.
=I have nothing to say about that! It was an act that deserved to be seen as an attack and an assassination, and I can’t say for sure that I didn’t have such thoughts unconsciously!=
Thud.
The leader, who thumped his head on the dirt floor, appealed in a determined voice.
=However, if you allow me a chance to speak and listen to one request, I will take my own life and ask for forgiveness!!=
“…….”
Hwanin saw Anne, who had been staring at her leader, deliberately turning her gaze around her into a surveillance posture, and she closed her eyes for a moment before opening her mouth.
“Tell me.”
= I will speak first. The tribal union Merianol has a proposal for Hwanin, the Holy Emperor of Yeongdo, and hopes for an opportunity to have a detailed discussion about it. If you allow it, please visit the nearest land god church and express your will to accept it.
‘…… Miriastum?’
Anne’s real name is Ancilla = Neriol = Miriastum. The fact that middle names and last names are similar and identical means that they are extremely close blood ties.
The captain felt cold sweat trickling down his ears at the exclamation he didn’t understand.
An urgent and tense feeling triggered the Truth Watcher, but the exclamation just now was really… Because she was the first voice in her life to feel no emotions.
If you are a living person, no matter how hard you try to erase your emotions, you will still feel the faint color of your emotions.
In the case of just now, it is a lack of interest, indifference due to lack of fun, or indifference caused by disapproval of having caused this situation.
But just really…… It felt like something inorganic, like a rock or dirt, made a sound.
In the midst of confusion and fear, the leader came to a single conclusion.
‘If you go against this person…… Everyone dies here.’
In an attempt to save Jo Won somehow, the captain opened his mouth again, banging his head on the ground.
=The request I want to give you is that I ask you to forgive the members of the team with my only life… ! The fault lies with me, so please ask only me. I earnestly ask His Majesty the Holy Emperor…… !=
Hwanin, arms folded, sent Meria play with an emotionless gaze…… What should I say about this envoy? Reaper? She looked at the errand boy anyway and called for Anne.
“Anne. Seeing you earlier, it seemed like an acquaintance. Is it someone you know?”
=… I was a classmate at the training camp. Later, news came that he graduated from the church and moved to the central government of Merianol. It must have been true.=
“Right. It was a very unpleasant experience, but you can’t be mean to someone you know.”
= I’m sorry….=
“Never mind. If you’re going to ask for an apology, you’re going to ask them.”
Hwanin, who said that as if to hear them, told them to stand up and then opened his mouth calmly, but with an irresistible atmosphere.
“Even if you are an acquaintance of Anne, you cannot dismiss what happened as nothing. Do you agree?”
=Yes…….=
“So, for the act of bringing the monster, I will replace it with not hearing the message you conveyed.”
=Thank you for your generous consideration.=
The foreman closed his eyes. Should I say it’s the best of the worst?
If this is known, his status and career will be over, and his family will be a bit of a nuisance, but at least the members of the crew can be saved.
Since his main job was not related to the labyrinth, he honestly remembered the rules of the labyrinth, but anyway, it is better to survive than to be annihilated by the deviant Silhouette Mare, who is out of sight of him, the spokesperson of Yeongdo and the candidate for the great saint.
It’s a story about when you can get out of the labyrinth alive.
Hwanin misunderstood himself as a sorcerer and asked the giant, who had become very compliant, to wait for a while.
And, as expected, Merianol sent someone to entrust him with mediating the dispute with Radsea, and the council’s opinion was that he had a priest of the Fleury Land God Church as a spirit knight, and he was friendly with Merianol at the negotiation meeting between Radsea and Radsea. I was able to reason that it was to ask for a stance favorable to Merianol.
‘Looking at Anne’s father’s name, it’s only natural.’
The background of the completion of this message is probably because the story of her uncle, the law consul Auban=Need=Tursion, whom she met in Hraslind, entered the council.
“If Merianol is moving like this, Radseah must be moving as well.”
= It is as you said. It would be safe to say that the remarks made by His Majesty the Holy Emperor are from the position of Yeongdo. Furthermore…… You are judged to have built a friendship with the demon dragon of Aleughel…….=
Just because she said it, she couldn’t say that Youngdo’s position was the same, and Ad Nevila wouldn’t be involved even more.
Hwanin, who had thought about that for a while, was a little displeased that the plan to dive until the commotion subsided as a result went awry.
Politicians are no different from Nionebreth.
Thinking that way, Hwanin asked if he knew of any other pursuers, and Gaya opened her mouth with an expression of ambiguousness as to whether she could say this.
=I don’t know if it’s true, but according to rumors, the Elwidris family is also looking for the Holy Emperor.=
“The council has also planted a culprit in the Elwidris family.”
=…… Me, no….=
“The fact that you’re willing to remember the rumor to the extent that it reaches your ears, the Council’s scouting organization, gives the rumor some validity.”
=…….=
Even if it’s not that, if you think about Elkata’s vision and work, the pursuit of the Elwidris family is certain with Gaya’s comment.
“Is there anyone else who entered the labyrinth besides you?”
What the hell is this guy Gaya swallowed deeply and opened her mouth cautiously, feeling as if she were facing a high-ranking doctor from her home country rather than a spiritualist.
=I’m not sure, but if those who are looking for the Holy Emperor have found this labyrinth, I don’t think they’ll be able to get out without entering.=
“All right.”
Hwanin came up with a plan to be confirmed by Relais through Hwanyeon, but discarded it right away. Because he judged that Lee Rice was cheating.
It’s a trick to increase dependence on yourself. If it’s not that, there’s no way I won’t tell you the news until you ask on purpose.
‘Because he’s stupid and selfish, there’s a good chance he’ll forget about it until he asks.’
It’s too pathetic to believe it’s the latter, so I deliberately erase that detail. However, the results are not different.
Gathering his thoughts, Hwanin looked back at the three men and three women who were nervous and said almost in a sentencing manner.
“No matter how many of you say you are Fleur, a tribe of the forest, I don’t think you can safely escape from here with your own strength. Maybe you have a transfer scroll.”
= No….=
“If you promise to abide by the conditions you are going to put forward, I will temporarily protect you until you leave the labyrinth.”
=…….=
Gaya was greatly troubled by the story of Hwanin, who insisted on making a promise without telling him what the conditions were.
I know that not answering right away can stimulate his fearful heart, but I can’t help thinking about it.
Rather, Gaya, who bought Hwanin’s trust, nodded his head with difficulty.
=Please, I hope this is the condition of not betraying the motherland.=
“I hope so. From this time on, everything you have seen and heard here will not be revealed to the outside world. The period will be two months.”
Gaya’s head was spinning in an unexpected condition, but this time, he hurriedly nodded, not knowing what to say if he didn’t answer right away.
=I will follow your word.=
“Of course, all acts of hostility and sabotage against us within the labyrinth are prohibited. The price for breaking the promise will be the most horrendous thing you can think of.”
= Yes, yes…….=
If you are the only job candidate who is a candidate for the great saint of Yeongdo, that would be quite possible…….
Seeing that Gaya and his crew were getting discouraged, Anne approached Hwanin and asked if it was okay.
“There is no problem with food because it can be supplied in abundance in the forest. Rather, having them by my side is stable.”
=But you were planning to stay here for a few months.=
“Okay. That is if no one ever found us. But they chased it like this and came to the labyrinth. If they can do it, others can too.”
=…….=
Hwanin pinched the cheek of Anne, who seemed to be thinking a lot, and smiled lightly.
“You always buy worries and regrets.”
=But…… It seems that Doryeong is going through more and more trouble because of me…….=
It is all the more so because he thinks that there is nothing difficult for him even if he is not there. He needs him, but he doesn’t care if he isn’t himself.
Seeing Anne’s expression revealing such thoughts, Hwanin fed her forehead with chestnuts.
“Anne, you are my woman. Just as you have no intention of leaving me, I have no intention of letting you go either. If you’re really sorry, I’d like you to pay more attention to sex training.”
I got hit in the middle of the night, but honestly, it just felt like I was stabbed with my index finger. Anne was a little bewildered, then nodded her head.
= Huh? Ah yes. Even if it’s not, she bought intermediate and advanced sex spells from the Hrath Lind Land God Order. She seems to have improved her sexual skills as she changed jobs…….=
“Okay. That’s it.”
She turned her body away from her and walked towards her giant, her phantom erased her expression.
The simplest solution is to kill all the women called Cheokhujo and bury them in the labyrinth. Meria Knoll will doubt it, but if she says she doesn’t know, there’s no proof.
However, if you think that you will be hostile to all kinds of doubts, it is a fundamentally impossible choice.
The next best thing is to drive them away, but even with a very low probability, the moment they succeed in escaping
The problem is that some of Merianol’s brightest minds might find out about his plans.
Furthermore, when you come out of the labyrinth, it is possible that Merianor’s envoy ‘Dan’ is camped nearby.
In any case, the best method for now is to seal her mouth, take her around, and treat her to the point of scorching the kitchen. It would be even better if he was attacked and killed by a silhouette mare.
Hwan-in said to the female giant standing at a distance rather than watching Anne create an awkward atmosphere when she and Gaya.
“Then, Utaba. Could we possibly visit your village?”
= You should take the body of the intruder with you. However…….=
“…… ?”
=…… I do not know. I have a bad head. Talk about difficult things with adults.=
‘I can take them, but I’m not sure if I’ll be treated as a guest or attacked by a group of giants.’
Hwan-in accepted with a smile on her face saying that it would not be a problem, and asked Gaya and her captains for a favor.
“Please take care of Silhouette Mare’s corpse. You can put it in her sack, tie it with her string, and pass it to Miss Utava.”
=Yes. Did you hear Let’s move =
=Yes, manager…….=
= Yes…….=
After realizing that they had come back from the dead and that the leader had prepared for death for them, the members of the group began to move according to the leader’s instructions, looking exhausted.
Watching Gaya and her crew move, Hwanin predicted the possibility that his plan would work.
“It would be nice if the giants had similar habits to a small number of barbarian warriors.”
=Are you thinking of delving into the part that is in conflict with Silhouette Mare?=
Seeing the gaze of the female friends around him who were talking to themselves, Hwanin quietly nodded his head.
“The plan to relocate those giants is starting to become a reality. I want to make it happen if possible.”
= Um……. Whether the giants migrate or not is not a problem, is it not a problem if the migration is successful? If it were giants, the amount of food would be staggering, but where would they get enough?=
“There are many fertile lands around Yeongdo. It is said that gigantic monsters often come over from the border of evil faction. Tens of thousands of pilgrims are always on standby.”
=Ah.=
=Ah!=
Hwanin’s idea made the women’s eyes light up.
They thought, at best, that they should form a village around them, or that they should help them settle down somewhere like a good forest.
Watching the female friends nod, Hwanin saw the dirt on the hem of his coat and brushed it away.
The Cheonneung, which has a cleaning function, cleanly removes dust even with this light action. Then, reorganize your thoughts.
I don’t know how many giants there are, but Hwanin believes that even if the number of giants is large, he won’t exceed 200.
It is because we believe that the maximum population limit is about 200 people living on a land that is half the size of Gyeonggi-do by collecting and hunting in nature.
If there are about 200 people, even if they eat a ton per meal, they can secure enough food if they even process monster meat.
And if everything goes according to his plan, Yeongdo will get a huge armed group for free, but that’s about it. It’s not expensive considering the giant fighters and operating costs.
‘Although I think Ninsil will scream for me to tell you first.’
She would see the value of a giant fighter and accept it right away.
=Yeha Seongje…….=
“Miss Gaya. You can call me by my first name from now on.”
= Yes? Yes……. Hwa, Hwanin-nim, the capture of the silhouette mare is over.=
When Hwanin saw that her crew had brought six corpses (the dismembered ones were properly sewn up) tied up with ropes, he gestured to Utaba.
Now it’s time to go to the giant’s village.
