Chapter 558 – 551 Giant Forest Village
If Gaya refused the offer, there was no need to mobilize the means prepared to use.
= I will…….=
Gaya, who showed death twice, tortured three times, and expelled from the family four times, bowed his head at the end with a face that all escape routes were blocked.
Hwanin smiled softly like a friendly man in the world and patted her shoulder.
“Good idea.”
And before talking to her, she called the members of Gaya who had been sent away and confiscated all of their belongings with a laugh that she did not allow her objection.
From weapons and armor to subspace pockets, literally everything except for one set of clothes she was wearing.
“The confiscated belongings will be returned when we release you. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of the meals for you.”
= I, that’s it. Seongje-nim, there are clothes and underwear to change into, too…….=
A girl with green pigtails, the youngest among Gaya’s members, raised her hand and said cautiously.
“………….”
= Oh, no! It’s okay just like this!=
I hurriedly back away from the pressure pouring from her smiling face to the point that her fuzzy hair stood up.
Hwanin, who stared at the fleur girl who was trembling in contemplation for about 10 seconds, looked back at Gaya and warned her.
“It’s not a very safe place here, so you’d better not act alone. Even if you are resting, do not separate from Yurpa and Bisang.”
= Yes…….=
He seemed to have a pretty good head, so if you tell him this much, he’ll take care of himself.
As proof, Hwanin could see that her face, which had been mixed with confusion and complexity until he spoke to her, had become much more comfortable.
The story of the end of organizing the mind.
Hwanin, who had also finished work on Gaya, returned to the place where he set up the camp and looked around at the surrounding scenery.
Even though it is twice the size of a regular stadium, the incredibly high log ceiling and wide interior of the log wall catches the eye.
Currently, they are on the table in the shaman’s house. Even if it’s a table, it’s the same as a small playground with a width of 60m * 40m.
The chieftain’s house was moved here by the hand of the shaman because the giants had to have a meeting.
He calmly examines the shaman’s house, but there is nothing particularly special or unusual about it.
The furniture was better than the one-table chieftain’s house, but the table, chair, bed, and tableware carved out of wood, and other household items, were at the level of a primitive man.
Hwanin looked at the unidentified grass and plants drying on the wall, then stared at a huge piece of meat hanging in a secluded place.
‘Usually, if raw meat is left outside like that, it will rot.’
Five chunks of meat bigger than the giant’s head were hanging in a row, and the surface was drying out as if they were dry-aged.
Dry aging is usually carried out in a well-ventilated place after adjusting the humidity to 70 to 80 degrees at about 1 degree Celsius.
However, the average temperature here in the labyrinth ranges from 14 to 15 degrees in the morning to 22 degrees at noon. It’s not an environment where dry aging can happen…….
Is this a place where microbes and bacteria don’t use much power? Or maybe it’s a matter of the mass or characteristics of that meat.
Hwan-in, who briefly inferred the principle of the mysterious phenomenon, heard the conversation of his girlfriends.
Looking back there, the girlfriends are gathering and discussing what to do for dinner.
Thanks to putting up a temporary screen and bathing there, the white appearance is pretty, but everyone is wearing light clothes, so I didn’t like it.
Shorts that come up to half of the thigh above the knee, sleeveless, and an open shoulder blouse…… They are on the better side.
Anne, who once had a body as rugged as a man’s, had very little resistance to revealing her skin, and often wore open-minded clothing, but that was the case even now.
“…….”
She’s wearing black dolphin pants and a gray bra top, but it’s almost like underwear.
Most of all, Hwanin noticed that part of her underwear was protruding from the hem of her dress, revealing black lace.
The mulberry made with slime was removed to reduce the visible sense of fullness, but that doesn’t matter. However, it is a problem that part of the underwear is visible.
“After…….”
Is this jealous of possessiveness? Hwanin slapped Anne’s butt while laughing at the unusual emotions that filled his heart.
Like her peaches, the flesh of her seductive hips waved briefly, and Anne rubbed the spot and looked back at her phantasmagoria before pouting her lips.
=Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?=
“Your underwear is coming out of your clothes.”
= Huh? Oops!=
“There are men and giants are secretly watching, so it would be nice if you pay a little more attention to your clothes here.”
Anne, who was tidying up her clothes with a slightly reddened face, saw Fleur, a man from Gaya’s party, approaching this way. He luckily noticed that he didn’t know what had happened.
= Go, change and come! =
Hurry back behind the screen that Anne had put on while taking a bath, and the women who watched the brief happening started talking again.
= Unnie Lee, the floor is also wooden, so can we light a fire like this?=
= It’s better to make a fire yourself because the taste of fire rises…… I think it would be better to use a heated plate for safety.=
= Yes. From now on, I will have to carry a wide stone plate.=
= You don’t know what kind of situation you’ll have to camp in, so you’d better be prepared. Now that Jim’s limitations are gone, so…… ?=
Hwanin put down a fairly large rock in front of his girlfriends who were chatting with each other.
It is a mountain-shaped rock with the longest width of 2m and the longest height of 1m.
=Baby, when did you put this in?=
Yurpa puts her hand on a rock that must have come from Aspen and giggles like it’s funny.
“I took care of it in case you didn’t know. If you drop a rock this big from 100m or 200m in the air, that alone will become a terrifying weapon of attack.”
…… Was it for attack?
The women are bewildered, but then, thinking they have a point, cling to the rock and measure the length of this and that. Isilite then raised her sword skills and turned them into eight large stone slabs at once.
A stone plate was laid on the floor, and Baekryeo-gang returned with soil to fill in the gaps, and a kitchenette to prevent fire was completed.
Hwanin watched Isilite take Baekryogang, take out her firewood, light a fire, prepare her ingredients, and prepare dinner. I called Anne, who was wearing a long coat.
“I will reassemble the wagon.”
=Why are you suddenly assembling a wagon?=
=If we enter the wagon, it will be easier for the giants to move?=
“No. First of all, I’m going to bed tonight……. I don’t know if it will work or not, so let’s assemble the carriage first.”
Thanks to the assembly and disassembly repeated several times, the accumulated proficiency allowed the wagon assembly to be completed in less than 20 minutes.
And after completing the rescue, separation, and guerrilla warfare checks, Hwanin quietly put his hands on Aspen and the wagon.
Shook-
=… Ah?=
=Ah.=
“Well.”
Seeing the wagon disappear like a mirage, the three of them briefly exclaimed.
= This is…… There is no weight limit, so it could be like this.=
As if Yurpa had overlooked it, he muttered a little despondently.
The subspace pockets of this era are classified by indicating the percentage of weight reduction and the amount of volume.
But few people think deeply about it. The weight that the pocket can hold, that is, the weight that a person can carry is important, and the size of the bag is not so important.
To put it bluntly, if the weight reduction is 0%, it is meaningless even if the internal space is 10㎥.
The use of subspace pockets is usually used for carrying luggage. And the weight that an ordinary person can carry varies depending on physical ability and distance, but it is about 30 to 40 kg.
No matter how wide it is, if you fill it up a little, you won’t be able to lift it because of the weight.
Of course, there are things that people do not move, such as putting them in a pack horse, wagon, cart, or storing them in a house, but anyway, people pay more attention to weight reduction than width.
Therefore, women simply approached Aspend without thinking deeply about its features, and Hwanin only thought that Aspend would be easy to use.
But what made him change his mind was the rock he had been keeping for high-flying attacks.
Aspend’s interior is about the size of a large cart. If so, how is the area occupied by that space calculated?
What if you put a solid rock and a hollow wagon?
I was thinking about that, and tonight, when I had to make a bed, I tried to solve my curiosity, and the assembled wagon was stored in the aspen without any problems, and the volume was not much different from when it was completely disassembled.
=Are you saying that Aspen is only calculated by volume?=
= I’m not sure about that either. You can also calculate it by mass.=
What is volume and what is mass? The women who were listening from the side tilted their heads at the questions and answers they did not understand.
It was only natural for Nionebreth that this kind of knowledge would only be known by magic tools and magic tool makers like Yurpa.
Since there is no compulsory educational institution, each person only learns knowledge suitable for their job, and does not have the shallow but wide knowledge like modern people on earth.
So, Hwanin briefly explained the difference between volume and mass to his girlfriends who were not understanding and tilted their heads.
“Volume is the amount of space occupied that can change according to conditions. For example, with water, if you heat the same amount of water and turn it into steam, the space occupied is larger. Volume is the change in the area of space occupied by a change in state. But mass refers to something that does not change under any conditions. To put it to the extreme, it can refer to phase force.=
Although it is consumed by use, it is in itself unchanging energy that does not change no matter what the environment.
= Ah. So if Aspend calculates the interior by volume…….=
“The loading capacity will be less than expected. If you calculate it by mass, it will be wider.”
The only people who understood Hwanin’s additional explanation were Gaya and the others, and among the Hwanin and the others, Baek Ryeo-gang was the only one.
So Hwanin explained a bit more.
“One cubic meter of space can hold 1,000 liters of water. However, when this 1,000 liters of water evaporates, its volume expands nearly 1,700 times. You won’t be able to fit it all in 1 cubic meter of space.”
For this reason, when calculating by volume, it becomes important which state of matter is used as a standard, making calculations complicated.
However, Hwanin felt that Aspen was calculated by mass.
The reason why it is called feeling is because the space inside Aspen that Hwanin perceives is sensuous.
Of course, there is a simple way to determine whether it is volume or mass. After taking all the luggage out of the aspen and filling it up with water, take out only the water and measure the weight.
‘But it’s annoying. I have a problem.’
If you fill the aspen with water, you don’t know what kind of load will be applied to the artifact.
Whether it’s a truck or a wheelbarrow, there is an appropriate load. That load is no different from the limit weight that can use a car for the longest time.
In other words, if you run with the proper load as much as possible, the wear rate is faster than if you run less.
This is a kind of physical law. Only the core that created this relic bag will know if it will work for the artifact or not.
=Um~.=
=Yeah.=
Hwanin seemed to understand the explanation only with Anne and Gaya, so he decided to cut off the topic.
Because that’s not what’s important.
“Anyway, that’s it. Isilite, the food is getting ready.”
= Yes? Ah, almost done.=
“Then let’s get dinner ready.”
Hwanin, who took the carriage out of the aspen again, hired Gaya’s crew to take out tables and utensils and prepare them one by one.
The meeting of the giants went on and on until the night fell and the day dawned again.
And Hwanin declared a vigil, paying attention to the movements of such giants, and under Hwanin’s direction, Gaya and his women spent the night mixed half and half.
Even though it is a village, this is the dwelling place of giants who have not yet been distinguished from each other. It was Hwanin’s assertion that he could not rest in peace, and that was a story that everyone in the room agreed to.
=…….=
A few minutes ago, Gaya, who had been shifted with Hwanin, who had the most difficult night shift for herself, opened her mouth quietly while looking at the morning twilight in a place where she felt like a small person.
=Anne. Do you love Seongjenim?=
=Yes.=
In one word that seemed to contain all the positivity in the world, Gaya looked back at his old training center mate, who was studying while writing something on expensive-looking paper, tightening the shawl over his shoulder a little more.
Platinum-colored long hair and silver eyes filled with the envy of the Fleurs, with the noble blood of the Fleurs.
Long, sleek, pointy ears of the perfect length and shape that any Fleur would envy.
A straight nose, brush-like features, and a slim jawline are the beauty itself.
The eyebrows are raised slightly and may feel sharp, but the detailed and elegant eyebrows change it to a new princess look.
Unlike the red knight’s large and dull chest, the breasts that reveal femininity but are not excessive, the waist that is narrow but not too thin, the hips that are easy to give birth at 20, and the well-developed pelvis are playful. It is a swollen body that completely beats the aesthetic sense of the Lei people.
The appearance of the giant woman, who was no different from the rambunctious Jilliant, looks like a princess of the gold jade-yeop, who seems to monopolize the love of the Fleur royal family.
‘That’s why that man must be making such a fuss without knowing his face or shame.’
Gaya, who thought that he should inform him, shook his head at the level of his blond hair.
It’s none of my business if that guy doesn’t recognize the terrifying Seongjenim and he messes around and dies. He would be more profitable to our family if he died sooner rather than later.
…… In fact, more than that, the reason is that I don’t want to increase my association with such a scary person.
Gaya, who had been told that he had a good sense of humor since he was young, became acutely aware of this as the time he spent with Hwanin grew longer.
There will never be an end to incidents and accidents around Hwanin, and if he gets entangled with him in a bad way, something better than death can happen.
So, I don’t want to do anything to get involved with him, or to touch his feelings.
=Did you just get in the mood to ask that?=
Gaya, who had been crouching in front of her bonfire, turned her head towards her and laughed at her words, as if Anne was saying everything she was saying.
=Did you manage to fall in love with such a scary person?=
= It’s scary for you, but for us, they’re the kindest men in the world. =
She knew that too. She only shows herself like a reaper of death, but when she treats her or other women, she is kind and loving enough to make you wonder if she has Fleur blood mixed in.
If it wasn’t for that…….
Gaya, who put his thoughts aside, put the main point in his mouth.
=I signed a contract with Seongje-nim.=
=…… What contract?=
= It’s a contract to investigate and tell him what he’s curious about in his home country. The price is my safety.=
I guess roughly. It’s probably about the Elwidris family and the people who called him to Nionebreth.
=That’s why I’m telling you in advance in case there’s a misunderstanding. I…… I don’t want to be around a scary person like Sungje.
Mmm. I’m sure Doryeong treated Gaya a bit brutally.
Anne muttered to herself and decided to give her advice out of love for her brother.
= I will tell you one thing. We are truly merciless towards our enemies. If you promised to cooperate with Doryong, it’s better to keep it even if you die. In a word, it means don’t betray or go this way. Then, even if you die, I won’t ignore it, and at least I’ll make sure you get your revenge.
= Yes? I couldn’t even dream of betraying Seongjenim because I was scared…… It’s a little reassuring to hear that he will definitely take revenge if you’re wronged.=
Gaya, who finished her words with a smile, continued to check the dynamics around her with the extraordinary hearing unique to the Fleurs, and the motives and stories she hadn’t seen in a long time bloomed.
Chieftain, Shaman, Warrior Chief, Ranch.
The conclusion of the conversation that went on all night with the four highest-ranking people in the giant’s village turned out to be positive for Hwanin.
=We decided to follow your will, the spirit company.=
Opening a laptop, you can learn about architecture, livestock farming, overall agriculture, double cropping and private cropping, soil quality, climate, fertilizer production and ingredients, differences between seeds and seedlings, etc.
Hwanin, who was transcribing and arranging a considerable amount of data, answered calmly without being surprised by the remarks of the chief who came with the shaman.
“Good idea. I will take responsibility for your safety and settlement. However, please remember that we also need your cooperation and cooperation.”
=What is cooperation and collaboration?=
Hwanin calmly and relatively detailedly informed the shaman, who served as the chief’s adviser and pocket of knowledge, about what he would do after moving to the vicinity of Yeongdo, what he could do, and what he could not do.
=Okay. Are we going to join that organization called Yeongdo…? ….=
= It’s a place where nice little people gather. There are not a few things that try to take advantage of those good guys, and if you go up north from there, you’ll find intruders like intruders. Can we just protect those nice little humans?=
“It would be better for you to hear the exact thing you need to do from the strongest and highest-ranking lady in that place rather than me. As the two of you must have felt, I am both a martial artist and an extremist.”
=Since you said so, we also have faith in Mr. Spirit.=
The sorcerer, who had been infared as if his nerves were being pulled tight, said with a slight smile.
The tightened shoulders are released and the posture becomes more natural, and the tension is relieved a little.
Hwanin smiled slightly at the shaman.
“If the opponent does not betray, attack, or hostile, I will just keep quiet.”
If it is the individual that is hostile, it destroys the individual. If it is a group, it destroys the group.
It’s simple and clear.
=Yes. But one problem remains.=
Now that the conversation is over, Hwanin, who thought that what was left was a means to send the giants out, was puzzled by the chief’s remarks.
It’s a problem, there was no giant’s soul or silhouette mare’s soul in the village, and I didn’t see any problem elements…… Are you wondering how to get out of here?
=I will explain that to the spirit master.=
The chieftain, who had just opened his mouth, saw the shaman, nodded slightly, and crossed his arms. And the shaman slowly tells the inside story of the problem.
Roughly speaking, the story of the history of the village of giants fighting against the deformed silhouette mare. To summarize the point there…….
“You mean we have to get back your pride that the intruders stole.”
= Yes. It’s the same reason that allows us to be giants. Even if it is broken, we must break it with our hands.=
With the Chief’s words, the medicine man lowered his staff and showed his head to the party.
Right next to the heart core shining with golden light, there was a mark where something had been pulled out.
= Hey… That’s what I want to ask the Spirit Master.=
“You’re asking me to bring it back. It’s difficult to chase after a silhouette mare with that huge body.”
Seeing the chieftain and the shaman nod, Hwanin asked what pride was for a moment.
“What if the intruder who took pride is already destroyed?”
= I have no choice but to give up. =
=If the labyrinth is destroyed, all intruders will die, so you should take that as comfort. However, I would like to bring you at least the broken fragments.=
“… Okay. However, since the area of this labyrinth is very wide and the activities of the intruders are unknown, the search may fail. Be prepared for that.”
= I got it…….=
=Please.=
Afterwards, the chieftain and the shaman left the house to inform the town’s giants of their decision.
I will meet each of the giants close to 70 and inform them of the decision.
When the chieftain and the shaman left the house, women approached and asked if it would be difficult for Hwanin.
= Doryeong. This place is wide enough to accommodate ten or twenty large cities. Besides, they even have a habit of digging around in the ground. It’s like looking for grains of sand in a real sandpit.=
= I think it will be difficult even if I use all the remaining 3 months that I was planning to spend from the beginning…….=
=It would be nice if Hwanyeon could handle the spirits, but that’s impossible.=
After calmly listening to the negative opinions of his girlfriends, Hwanin answered by taking out a soul bead from the storage in the soul prison on his left arm.
“If you search in an ignorant way, it will be.”
When he injected a little energy into the soul orb and materialized it, his women and Gaya’s party widened their eyes.
Kieheh— kuhoheh—
One of the souls of a deformed Silhouette Mare that twists and cries out.
Hwanin looked at it with cold eyes and opened his mouth.
“Use this to solve it as quickly as possible.”
