Chapter 556 – 549 Giant Forest Village
For the movement, the party decided to speed up according to the giant’s stride.
The 20-meter-tall female giant moves forward at 9 to 10 meters per step in a half-running fashion. The level that the party must run to keep up with this speed.
Yurpa, who is physically unable to run, started following on a broomstick, and Hwanin brought Silu and chased after him on a flight.
Other than that, they are running after each other without any difficulties.
Isilite and Anne can run all day at 10m per second, and Baengnyeogang can also run without difficulty for half a day thanks to the specifications of the Yongin body that constantly refines and polishes.
Gaya and the captains were also occupations composed of 5th and 4th grade warriors, fighters, and shooters, respectively, so they pursued from the back of the party with their own leisure.
“…….”
Hwanin, who was watching the female giant’s chubby eggshell and the gap between her thighs while holding on to the reins of flight, sighed inwardly at the gaze coming up from between her legs.
Silu is looking at you with envy with bright red eyes.
It seems that killing the deformed Silhouette Mare with a single blow was very impressive to Silu.
In the meantime, Silu has been building a wall on purpose so that he can get closer to Isilite and Anne first, and it actually works. Silu was difficult for himself and did not come close to him, but it seems that the psychological barrier collapsed at once from a while ago.
‘I can’t help it.’
Like Kue is attracted to the strongest individual in the group. It’s absurd that Shilu, who has been born for more than a month and is now two months old, can recognize the strength, but it can’t be helped because it happened.
I wanted Siluga to choose between Isilite and Anne whenever possible, but looking at this situation, that would be impossible.
‘I have no choice but to decide on one of the two and nail it to Silu’s status as next to Bisang.’
Hwanin pondered for a moment on who to choose as Silu’s mate.
The swordsman, who uses multiple swords and rides through the battlefield riding a sunset-colored Que, would literally be no different from a tank galloping between slaughter weapons and battle wagons.
However, her mobility is that even if she doesn’t have Que, she’s never lost. Rather, it can be a disadvantage that you cannot act in three dimensions on the battlefield using multiple swordsmanship as a stepping stone.
If you change your point of view and don’t agree with Anne Silou, that’s not the case either.
If Issilite is a normal medium tank, which covers long distances with the special ability of the sunset-colored Kue and destroys everything at short distances with Anne’s monstrous power, Anne is a super-heavy tank beyond a heavy tank.
In addition, since he deals with sexual arts, it is a very big advantage that Silu can recover quickly even if he is injured, and that he can fill up with sexual arts even if his physical strength is low.
Beep
As she strokes Siloo’s little head, her red feathers tickle between her fingers. Seeing if the physical contact was good, Silu actively rubbed her head on Hwanin’s palm and cried softly.
‘I’m still young, so I’ll just have to decide slowly.’
Perhaps because he is young, Byeong-sang is also not wary of losing base.
At that time, the sound of a small conversation was heard in Hwanin’s ear, and he listened in that direction.
This is the conversation between Gaya and Anne.
=Anne, you have changed a lot.=
= You haven’t changed much. And now I don’t Call me for hugging.=
= Yes, Anne. Thank you =
=…… As I said beforehand, I didn’t do anything.=
= It can’t be. If it wasn’t for you, me and my crew would have been killed by the Silhouette Mares. The Holy Emperor, who recognized us as the barbarians of the labyrinth, must have let us die.
=Our Seongjenim is not like that. Be rude or ruthless towards enemies.=
= It was like that a while ago. Since you rudely brought a monster, it wouldn’t be strange to be considered an enemy, right? If it wasn’t for you, I don’t think things would have worked out as well as they do now.
In fact, the trembling atmosphere in her heart disappeared after the story came out that she was her and her former classmate at the training center.
… Hmm, Anne gave her a small snort, and she deliberately removed her attitude from being indifferent towards her, and smirked as if to tease her.
= At most, you were selected by the main body of the church, and the path to the higher clergy was opened. Besides, she almost died from that monster? =
= Don’t do that too much. Those monsters were heteromorphic or something, they were as strong as a 6th level combat master. They were cruel enough to play with life……. And it’s not just a scoundrel? It’s called the Scouting Corps under the Ministry of Justice.=
=Anyway, it means scouting. If your grades were good, and you stayed, even the archbishop… Maybe he could have become the capital archbishop.=
At Anne’s attitude that she was not interested in the strength of Silhouette Mare, Gaya replied with a wry smile.
= I couldn’t help it. Because the fiancé family didn’t want the priest of the church to become the wife of the head of the household.=
=…… Didn’t you say anything about going to the central government?=
= He strongly recommended it. It means that there is an adult relative of the in-laws in the judiciary.=
= His family’s understanding, his family’s circumstances. Very sick of it. =
Haha.=
Gaya, who laughed because she knew well why Anne was disgusted with her, let out a short groan while holding her left breast, which had been severely cut by her silhouette mare.
The cuts on her clothes were roughly sewn with thread, so her bare skin wasn’t exposed, but the scars that divided her breasts in the shape of a plump water drop vertically exactly in half were noticeable.
Anne took out her mark and silently cast the spells of concentration, mild pain relief, and weak sustained healing on her chest.
When a weak yellow aura hovered near her left breast and disappeared, Gaya felt that her pain and foreign body sensation from the wound had greatly diminished and silently admired it.
= She wears her middle armor and uses her sex art while running…… Not only the aura in her appearance, but also her skills have improved a lot, right? Her powers were amazing even back then, but her sexual skills were at the level of a failing student. =
= Hey…….=
Glancing at the back of Hwanin, who was ahead of her, Anne narrowed her eyes and told her to stop talking nonsense. Gaya smiled and quietly opened her mouth.
=Anne, I have a message from your father.=
= No need It’s really a no-brainer to get entangled in politics and make our Seongje-nim annoyed.
= It’s not like politics. It’s just a story about a child’s father who wants to tell the story if they ever get to know each other.
= Because I don’t need it. I don’t want to hear about household chores and I don’t want to get involved.=
=Anne, don’t do that.=
Anne, who had been sternly refusing her, pouted her lips as if planting was complicated when Isilite, who was ahead of her, asked at the speed of her side.
Gaya suddenly glanced at the enemy knight who had been talking to her, Isilite, who had no idea why he was called a red knight even though there was nothing red, and she glanced sideways at Anne again.
In response to that action, Isilite persuaded them by imitating the aloofness of her phantom.
=Anne. I think it’s okay to listen to the message as a father. Even if it’s not, if the family is trying to do something to you, the owner should know about it so that he can prepare in advance.=
As if disapproving of her, Anne, who made a small frown on her face, sighed at her. Gaya, who understood that as a sign of her permission, spoke to Isilite.
= It is not a story related to politics. Upon learning that I was being dispatched, Anne’s father just…… He just wanted me to tell him that he was happy because he seems to be doing well.
=Isn’t Anne’s father a king? Such a person…….=
When Issilite questioned whether a person in that position could simply show concern without having to do with politics, Gaya, realizing that she was ignorant of the internal political structure of Merianol, explained in an easy-to-understand manner.
=Marianol is ruled by one incarnation. There is a council below it, and in the council, there are the kings of the Fleurs and Prouds, and the chiefs of the Lucrang, Flavius, Xavi, Harin, Gifla, Amdrux, and Notien form the council.=
The kings of the Fleurs and Prouds are not the only kings of the tribes, but three kings or queens are selected from the tribal decision-making body and sent to the Council every 5 years, and the position of the head of the council is alternated between the Fleurs and the Prouds every 10 years. Go.
After Gaya’s explanation, Anne added something she felt was lacking.
=So, to compare it to Yeongdo, Hwasinnim is the Great Saint, the King of Fleur and Proud is the spirituality, and the chiefs of the council are the candidates for the spirituality. My father is called the king, but there is no such thing as overwhelming power.=
= Even so, you are a king. Aren’t they the 9th or 10th grade barons of Radsea?=
= That’s right, but…….=
Having read Anne’s mind that she didn’t want to talk about it, Isilite changed her subject, thinking that if she told her Hwanin later, she would take care of it.
=But the king only has the Fleurs and the Prouds? What other races?=
=Marianol, created by the land god, is a country founded by Floe and Proud. Just as the land embraces everything, the tribal union nation was established by accepting other races without blocking them. Out of respect for the Fleurs and Prouds, other races do not appoint a king.=
= There must be a political problem. Radsea obviously has a queen, but if the Lukrang tribe settled in Merianol put forward a king, it would look very strange.
=Is there such a thing?=
Hwanin shook his head as he listened to the conversation of his girlfriends behind him.
For now, it is clear that Anne’s father has no intention of taking advantage of her. According to her, she was exiled because of her foreign body, and even though she left Merianole, it is assumed that her father was the one who stopped sending assassins to protect her bloodline.
‘Although there is an opinion that it is because I entrusted myself to the Church of the Land God.’
Anyway, when I made the assumption that that statement was true, what I should be careful of were the people sent by Elwidris and the Radsea Baron League.
‘The Royal Palace of Radsea must be aware that it is a bad idea to physically touch this side through the Prince Hocheonmyeong. The current council in Merianol seems surprisingly moderate.’
After all, it is the upper class who are sensitive to profit that commit accidents.
The top layer has a lot of incoming information, so it is rather cautious and sensitive to move while weighing gains and losses based on that information.
However, the upper layer does not receive advanced information that is equivalent to the top layer.
The reliability of information that comes into hand is approximately 60-70%.
It’s an ambiguous number, but it’s easy to commit stupid things because you absolutely believe in it and trust the conclusions you draw based on that information.
It is safe to distribute eggs in several baskets to preserve them, but the upper class chooses the latter because it is more convenient to collect and manage eggs in one place than to deal with such information and situations.
Of course, weakness in money and power will also play a role.
By the time Hwanin’s eyes gradually grew colder, and a way to set an example was established in his head.
= Small human. It’s a village soon.=
The party was able to put the giant’s village in front.
It was about an hour after running non-stop.
Nionebres also has a society of sub-species classified as giants.
Of course, not the 4 main races, Lukerang, Fleur, Flavius, and Proud, but Zilliant, a minority race that spreads across the continent in families and small tribes.
As for their external characteristics, grown adults are 3 to 4 meters tall, and their physical conditions, including muscle density and physique, are the best among all races, so they are called a natural fighting race.
To the extent that a jobless Gilliant can tear and kill a third-class job, that’s all I’ve said.
If the Gilliants were aggressive and had a strong desire to reproduce, there is a prevailing opinion among scholars that Nionebreth would have become one of the 5 main races, not the 4 main races.
Even such a Zilliant, a race that could be treated as a baby, was living in a small village in front of the Hwanin party, a village that was only a village in terms of social scale, not size, but anyway.
The heights varied greatly. At first glance, there was a 15m class, and some giants seem to exceed 50m.
The color of the skin is usually apricot, but there are also blue or brown, and occasionally gray. There are various hair colors, such as blonde hair, silver hair, red hair, blue hair, green hair, and white hair.
The houses in the village are in the form of huts made by cutting down nearby trees and dugouts made by half-dug the ground, but looking at the village landscape, it was found that there was almost no cultural life.
As for the clothes, both men and women were sloppily covered with leather, like Utaba.
Most of the giants wrapped around their waists to cover their lower bodies were female giants, and most of the giants wrapped in leather like bandages like shorts were male.
The faces of the giants are not the ones hit by life, but rather the peaceful atmosphere with the expressions of living enjoying small but trivial happiness.
This was also evident in the behavior of the giants who greeted the party.
=Great.=
As soon as they arrived at the village, they received the gaze of all the giants who stood out, and as soon as they heard the story from Utaba, they welcomed them to come and guided them to the village chief.
Hwanin got down on a table wide and strong enough to build a house in Utava’s hands, and after receiving the chief’s gaze watching them with an honest face, he opened his mouth.
“Thank you for accepting me so readily even though it must have been a sudden visit.”
At Hwanin’s greeting, a male giant with straw-colored hair like a lion’s mane grinned. Then he let go of Utava and opened his mouth in a booming voice.
=They are the guests who helped Utaba and got rid of the intruders, so hospitality is a matter of course. I am the chief It’s been a long time since a guest came from outside like this.=
The voice sounds like thunder rumbling.
He said that his voice was a little louder than usual, but from the giant’s point of view it must have been as low as the sound of flying flies, but didhehear it all?
Hwanin answered while estimating the chief’s physical specifications.
“I am Hwanin. Nice to meet you, Chief.”
Hwanin, who introduced himself, thinking that those who have a position in the village are called by position, not by name, immediately opened his mouth and asked a question.
“Rather than that, with your abilities, that deviant Silhouette Mare would be an easy target, but are you saying that you are having trouble?”
=Of course, those things can’t be a threat to us. If you step on them once, they will explode and die.=
In the chief’s hand as he said that, there was a corpse of a mutated silhouette mare, but the chief dropped it on the table and knocked it lightly with a fist the size of a house.
=…….=
=…….=
On the table, which shook as if a weak earthquake had passed, the women hardened their complexions at the sight of Silhouette Mare’s corpse turned to jerky by that light gesture.
In particular, Anne’s expression was the most serious when she directly hit the silhouette mare.
Even though they only put in about 60% of their strength, they didn’t die instantly and their bodies were tough enough to stay intact. But to be turned to rice cake with a light punch.
=But it is true that there is no means or method to eradicate those who burrow through walls or underground to avoid us. And you can’t be very vigilant, a young one like Utava can be attacked by a group of intruders who walk alone.
“Is that so. Looking at Ms. Utaba, it seemed like she would ignore any and all attacks.”
=No, because women often wear leather only on their waists because it is annoying to clean up when doing errands. There was also a woman who had to split her belly when intruders came in to the place where she gave birth while doing errands.=
Hwan-in was not shocked because he had guessed, but the women’s complexion deteriorated at the plain story of the chieftain.
“Understand. It is said that the threat to an elephant is not its own kind, but a mouse.”
=I don’t know what the elephant and the mouse are talking about, but I think I know roughly.=
As they exchanged a few words, Hwanin questioned the chieftain’s words and actions, which gave him more knowledge than he thought.
No matter how smart you are, there must be an input for an output. In such a closed space, the development of the language center cannot happen on its own, so how did it happen?
‘There seems to be an interpreter agency, so the knowledge of the people who came in from outside must have been passed on.’
Hwanin stared at the village chief with serious eyes.
Both in his way of thinking and in his conversations when he met them, the chief possessed more knowledge and common sense than expected.
Her words communicated more than expected, and her personality wasn’t bad enough to treat her as a guest.
Even though it was already dead, it was quite rough to kill a mosquito or an ant by lightly pressing the body of a silhouette mare, but according to his story, it was not a problem because the silhouette mare would be like money bugs or cockroaches to them.
The real problem…….
‘The power is too strong.’
Utava had a strong self-respect mindset. That means that even among giants, the law of supremacy among the strong is basic.
If it was the chieftain, he would be the strongest among the giants.
Looking at his height, his sitting height is about 20m. The only thing that can beat the chieftain in front of him is a 7th or 8th class job, a rare job, or a military unit of a country with large biological weapons.
When they go out, will they obey the orders or requests of people whose strength is as different as that of an elephant and an ant?
At that time, the chief who was watching Hwanin carefully opened his mouth.
=It’s amazing.=
“…… What do you mean?”
= You mean The power I feel from you is insignificant. Weak compared to the little girls in the back and insignificant compared to these intruders. However, your attitude and momentum are absolutely second to none even compared to our warrior commander.=
“Is that so.”
= Well. That kind of momentum can’t come from powerless people. Besides, it looks like you’re the boss…….=
Are there warriors who are worthy of recognition by the chieftain? There will be an individual called a shaman, and the chieftain himself has a good eye for it.
Hwanin slightly modified the plan and opened his mouth.
“I am also a warrior, but rather than that, I should say that I am in charge of the party by title.”
= It’s a job. What is that?=
“Miss Utava said I was a witch doctor.”
= Lord, drinker…… ?=
“But I am not a shaman. It is the guide of the lost spirits, who lead them to the Garden of the Gods.”
=Spirit Death!=
Seeing the chieftain’s three-story head approaching with a hard face as if facing something serious, the Hwanin women reflexively raised their hands to their weapons.
The chief knew that, but he didn’t care at all and looked at Hwanin from all over, then fell and nodded her head.
=Certainly, it’s similar to a shaman, but it’s a different energy. Is this the spirit of the spirit? Yeah, I heard that Utava is strangely downcast, so it’s because of you?=
“I just showed a little bit of strength because I don’t talk to the weak.”
Seeing Hwanin’s attitude, the chief seems to be happy and laughs while banging his knee.
= All men who lead women must have that much power! I apologize for belittling you.=
“I will accept it. And the chieftain knows about the history of souls.”
= How much? Well, I guess I’ll have to call our shaman as well. Are you wondering what a shaman is like?=
The more diverse the information, the better. When Hwanin nodded, the chief called the giant outside and ordered the shaman to come.
After that, he asked with a curious face.
=The shaman will come in a while, so let’s get to the main topic in the meantime. There must be a reason why you came to our village. Little humans like you rarely come down here.=
Hwanin gazed at the blond male giant with a lion’s mane in front of him and recalled the interior of the village he had seen on the way to the chief’s house.
Each of the log cabins was large enough to remind one of a residential-commercial apartment complex. Perhaps the core of the labyrinth is hidden in one of those houses.
The most likely one is the house of the giant called the shaman, or the house of the chieftain here.
‘I can’t ignore the possibility that the chief or the shaman will carry the core.’
Among the labyrinths, I read in Yeongdo’s book that there are places where the core carries the core.
If you can move the core, there’s a good chance that one of the giants will carry it yourself. If that was the case, would it be the chieftain or the shaman?
Hwanin thought about something else for a moment.
Maybe the labyrinth can’t create a heterogeneous species because the core is constantly moving.
Then, Hwanin, who adjusted his words according to the chief’s temper, opened his mouth.
“As I came, I saw the peace on the faces of the giants.”
= Yes. It’s a peaceful and boring place, this is.=
“Compared to annoying and annoying work, boredom is not bad.”
=Are you just talking about something annoying and annoying?=
“The outside world is a place where people who are smaller than you, like me and my party, live with countless monsters, monsters, true beasts, holy beasts, and divine beasts. That’s why this labyrinth, where everything is huge, is quite a mouth-watering place for people outside.”
=…….=
“The reason you have been able to keep quiet so far is that there is little information about this labyrinth. But things have changed.”
=You mean that intruders and other intruders can come.=
Hwanin and the women turned around at the woman’s voice coming from the entrance.
Common brown hair neatly combed back over the shoulders. Unlike other giant women, she wears a large piece of leather like a toga with a short hem.
She was a little taller than Utava, about 25m, but a giantess who was much thinner than her stood at her entrance.
Its distinctive feature is that both eyes are covered with leather eyepatch.
Her chief rises from her seat and points at her.
=She is the shaman of our village. Shaman, this little man is a spiritist from the outside.=
= Nice to meet you. Soul sir. I am the village shaman.=
“Nice to see you. He is said to be a Hwanin who is on a pilgrimage to the continent as a spiritual master.”
Her Hwanin introduced herself but couldn’t take her eyes off the head of the wand she held in her hand.
The head of the cane made of a trimmed red branch (even though it was as thick as a moderate tree) had a crystal slightly larger than the one seen in the Labyrinth of Spawning Ponds embedded in it.
A transparent crystal that emits a beautiful golden light as a golden orb floats inside.
It was the heart of the giant forest labyrinth.
