Chapter 619 – 612 Royal Residence
A black stone staircase that seemed to ascend into the abyss. In addition to that, a black fog obscuring the vision filled the aisle.
Even if the light rod magic tool for securing the light source is turned on at its maximum range, it cannot push out the darkness and can only illuminate up to 5m in front.
= Wh…=
Baekryeogang, who was advancing through such a dark cloud, let out a small moan at the feeling of his heart being grabbed.
Issilite, who was walking up the stairs behind Baekryeogang, noticed that and asked.
= Ryogang. Are you okay?=
=… A little bit, it feels like an invisible hand is grabbing my heart.=
One day up to the 4th floor. It was Baengnyeogang who had endured well without suffering until this point, but the frequency of groaning and sighing noticeably increased.
A figure that is beginning to be affected by mental infringement, which grows stronger with each layer it deepens.
A silver short-haired female knight among the knights of the Sky Knights, who were lined up around him, expressed his concern as if he was going to protect Baeknyeogang, which seems to be the weakest with unconsciousness as a knight.
= It’s amazing that the unemployed came all the way here with a sane mind. It’s not too late now, so why don’t you go back?=
“Baekryeogang. Here.”
Hwan-in, who stopped in the middle of the stairs and summoned Baekryeo-gang, looked into the jewel-like blue eyes of a mysterious beauty who looked just like Adneville but was slightly younger.
“How do you feel?”
=I feel agitated, like when I’m a bit agitated before an important event.=
As she listened to her answer, she examined the condition of her soul with her soul’s eyes.
The body Baekryeogang possesses is a dragon body created based on the owner of Aleugel.
There is no doubt that he has a strong tolerance for bad things. If it wasn’t for that, even though the 6th floor is right in front of you, the color of your soul won’t fade and there’s no way you’ll be able to spread clear light.
Still, looking at the color that looks like anxiety is spreading little by little on one side of the heart, it seems that the 6th floor is the limit for going down naked.
Said, sweeping her sea-blue hair over her ears.
“It still looks good. Is it because of the body?”
=I think so. In the labyrinth where light doesn’t reach, I couldn’t even reach the 4th floor.=
Baek Ryeo-gang smiles a little shyly, probably remembering what happened at the time.
Concerned about the condition of Baekryeo-gang, Ah-young, who had been snooping behind her, raised her hand and asked.
= Brother. Shall I use the Holy Law of Purification on Li Kang?=
“No.”
I don’t know what the purification technique is, but it must be a technique that brings mental stability like a wave of tranquility.
Hwan-in, who rejected Ah-yeong’s proposal, directly spread a wave of tranquility.
Grey-white light is sprinkled on the 7m-wide stairway, covering the group and further pushing the darkness of the passageway.
While the spirit of the Baekryeo River, enveloped in her waves of tranquility, became clear like crystal, Anne poked Ayeong’s side with her elbow and asked:
=What level are you in the purification method?=
=Step 3.=
= Wow, is that so? It is an advanced sex technique that is famous for being difficult to master.
= I worked hard to build up my skills because there are so many places to use. Maybe Anne’s sister… ?=
= Yes. I can’t I just started using recovery.=
= It’s more amazing that you can use recovery as a mixed job? From there, I even reawakened as a spirit knight, so from martial arts to holy magic to spirit magic…=
Hwan-in, who was listening to the conversation between Anne and A-yeong, thought it would be better to prepare for a situation in which he could not apply a wave of tranquility.
If you look at the context, it seems that the effect of Ayeong’s purification spell is quite good, so she should cooperate with Yulepa to make a magic tool containing the purification spell.
Whisperings of the knights are also heard in Hwanin’s ear while he is adding what he needs to do.
= The fog in the abyss is being pushed away…=
=Did the wave of tranquility have the same effect as the light of Pasa?=
= Stupid. Would be the opposite. =
=… Pasa’s light mimics the wave effect of serenity? Hmm, definitely that way is more credible.=
The knights whispered as if they were relieved of their shrinking with the wave of tranquility. After hearing the story, Anne asked a question.
= The knights there. What is the light of Pasa?=
=Ah, it is a military magic weapon that spreads light once a day in the 6th floor military camp.=
=It was made with a grade 8 white phase stone imbued with the Pope’s purification. Go up and you will see.=
Military sorcery…
Hwanin began to climb the stairs again, wondering where the 8th grade statute stone was excavated and how strong the 8th grade heterogeneous species would be.
The 6th floor, the royal residence of the forgotten old city labyrinth, had an atmosphere that did not match its name at all.
A square room made of black granite-like stone. In addition to the bloody scenery devoid of any decorations or patterns, a dark fog drifts like poison gas and covers the view.
It is a landscape that can be accepted even if you have entered the abyss.
= Stop there. Climbers must identify themselves.=
At the end of the stairs, behind the iron thorn barricade installed in such a way as to completely block the entrance to the 6th floor, the 2nd Sky Knights Epaulet knight peeked out through the barricade and asked.
The silver-haired female knight sneaked in front of Hwanin and spoke to the knight across the barricade.
=Sir Roccini, the holy priest of the spirit world who possesses His Excellency Duke Aduri’s proof and his companions. Holy Father, show me that brooch.=
When Hwanin silently holds out the brooch he received from Duke Aduri, the knight who received it through a small hole gives it back and folds the barricade to open the way.
When the Hwanin party entered the open barricade, six knights, including five knights of the 4th class who were hidden behind the barricade, raised a knightly salute.
= Excuse me. Instructions from the top are down, so you can pass.=
= Mr. Seongje. May I show you to the military camp? When Seongje-nim ascends to the 6th floor, instructions are given to guide him to the military camp.=
“I should say hello to the manager. Please.”
Hwanin gave a small bow to the knights guarding the stairs on the 6th floor, and then started walking down the winding black hallway following the silver-haired female knight.
Anne, who had maintained a nonchalant expression until then, looked around her and let out a groan.
=Wow, this is a desolate landscape again…=
=Is the 6th floor of other labyrinths similar to this one?=
=The deeper you go, the more abnormal and distorted scenery comes out. When you reach the 6th floor, a number of landscapes that seem to exist in the world will appear…=
It follows her experiences with several of the labyrinths on the 6th floor that she saw during her travels.
Poisonous swamps in the basement where poison stagnates or flows, forests that have been cursed and twisted, and monster roads made of flesh like the insides of human intestines.
=Usually around 6 layers, a structure is formed around one theme. The poisonous swamp below is poison, the cursed twisted forest is cursed, and the monster meat is corrosive. Considering that, I guess… It seems like a space created for the purpose of suppressing the spirits of those who enter.
= Knight Anne is right. Most of the 6th floor heteromorphs do mental attacks.=
“…”
In Hwanin’s eyes, a more horrific scene was being drawn than what was reflected in their eyes.
The stone walls and floors are black and glistening in the dark. And the red meridians and acupuncture points covering the wall.
The red meridians sparsely covered everywhere look like human blood vessels, inciting disgust.
Red energy flows along such meridians and pulsates, so if you are in good shape, it is a sight that can easily lead to mental illness in less than a day.
However, Hwanin moved along with the female knight, checking his surroundings with a nonchalant face that was not affected at all.
To him, this kind of mental illness is just one of the backgrounds.
Hwanin, who had been traveling for about 10 minutes, had never encountered Lee Hyungjong, and the place he arrived in silence was the location of room 6, where the six visions that the knight showed for a while were drawn.
=Here.=
When the female knight knocked on the pitch-black iron door that was tightly closed, a small crack opened at the height of the person’s head, revealing the person’s eyes.
Then, a blue light illuminated her face once more, and it closed again with a bang. And a jet-black door that opened silently, as if it had been oiled smoothly.
A knight of the 2nd Sky Knight appeared from behind a 50 cm thick iron gate, wearing a visor-type feather helmet and asked.
=Luni, who are behind you?=
=The most famous person in Palatum now.=
=… You say you are the Holy Emperor?=
=I have to guide the vice-captain, so can you step aside?=
=Uhh.=
Passing by the knight with a bewildered voice and entering the door, Hwanin was suddenly hit by the noise of life created by countless people.
Buzzing buzzing noisy.
If you listen only to the voice of the crowd, it is a noise that makes you think there are hundreds of people.
= I couldn’t hear anything from the outside, so it looks like I’ve even spread a barrier to block out sound.=
Just looking at it reveals a space as wide as the size of an official soccer field. And the small, medium, and large tents and the Flavians, Fleurs, and Lukerangs who come and go in those tents.
I used the expression “Gunyoung living here”, But she did as she said.
The tent was a barracks, and the people who came and went were either knights or servants of knights.
The corridor is 7m wide and 10m high. Based on such a hallway, I thought that a room with 3×5 squares would not be very wide, but it is wider than expected.
=This is it.=
As soon as he saw him, Hwanin stopped and froze, passing among the rather lightly dressed people and looking around at the ceiling or walls covered with white cloth.
There is no black fog here, no meridians of the labyrinth pass through the exposed walls here and there, and the bare floor.
‘Is it because of that?’
In the middle of the room, there was a huge altar with a near-future sci-fi atmosphere. A fist-sized phase stone is floating in a huge crystal, and soft light is spreading out from it.
That’s where the Pasa light that the knights talked about is scattered.
Hwanin’s eyes rush out and scan the crowd who seem to be watching.
There were not only knights, but there were also many figures from the guild of fighters who seemed to have been dispatched to the mage tower of Palatum and the sorcerers who seemed to have come out of the church.
As the expression “Military camp” Suggests, it feels like a military camp.
=Please wait a moment.=
The female knight who guided us to the front of the largest barracks in the military camp gave the official rank and went inside. Then, 30 seconds later, he came out again and led Hwanin and the others inside.
Upon entering the barracks, a slightly tired blonde trifle sits in front of a desk full of papers and looks up at them.
A vixen woman with soft, wavy blond hair.
She boasts her outstanding beauty as she wears the aura of a 7th-class warrior around her body, but she feels that her spirit and beauty have faded due to fatigue that she can’t hide.
=Meet the saint of Yeongdo… Huh? Aura?=
“For some reason, I went around without revealing my aura.”
= That’s right. Meet the saint of Yeongdo. He is the vice-captain of the 2nd Celestial Knights, whose main office is Yurtrang Adena. =
“I am Hwanin, a pilgrim to Yeongdo.”
Vice-captain Yutrang, who looked at Hwanin with tired eyes for a while, let out a small sigh as he put down his magical tool, feather pen.
= Whoa… A noble person has come, but as you can see, I am so busy that I can’t make time for it.=
“It’s me who came suddenly, so don’t worry about it.”
In response to Hwanin’s courtesy, Vice-captain Yutrang took out a small bell from a drawer and rang it with a faint smile.
Instead of the rustling sound that would normally come to mind when you hear a bell, a light wave of air comes out and surrounds the inside of the barracks, and the noise coming from outside the barracks is clearly blocked.
The vice-captain, who opened the sound barrier, questioned Hwanin with a tired expression.
= I have received the official notice from above. I honestly don’t understand. If you are a holy priest, aren’t you busy with sexual misfortunes? Do you really want to come down to the 6th floor of the labyrinth and see the core and core? May I ask what your purpose is?
Hwanin answered the question with a faint smile.
= Ugh. It would be arrogant for a field manager to ask the purpose of a job that the Minister of History and Armed Forces has allowed.=
I can feel the antipathy from the words of the yurtang vice-captain from earlier.
Hwanin realized where her antipathy was coming from and answered with a faint smile.
“The 2nd Sky Knights seem to have a custom of blaming the victims for their mistakes.”
=…=
The expression disappeared from the vice-captain’s face, which was tinged with fatigue and annoyance.
Step by step, Hwanin walked to the table where the vice-captain was sitting, and placed her left hand on the table, staring into her cobalt blue eyes that were faintly tinged with resentment.
“It seems that Vice-captain Yutrand respected Count Leauca Sabine.”
=…=
“Then she should have advised her wholeheartedly not to make pumpkin-seed remarks behind her back.”
=The captain was just warning the knights of the Order to be careful.=
“Was the caution to treat the person concerned like an unsavory monster?”
=…=
To the vice-captain who kept his mouth shut again, Hwanin pointed it out with a calm expression that showed neither ridicule nor ridicule.
“If you’re a person who can’t even figure out the aftermath of a hasty remark that you can’t handle, shouldn’t you consider this incident rather fortunate?”
If another high-ranking person with a violent temper, other than himself, had experienced such a thing, it would have turned into a huge diplomatic problem.
Hwanin said after watching the small hand on his desk tremble with his clenched fist.
“This was all I said to Duke Aduri. The knight of the 2nd Sky Knights looked at me like a monster to be avoided. Vice-captain, how do you think I should have acted then?”
=… It.=
“Did I just laugh and overlook the rudeness of the knights, whom I was openly reluctant to do? Or should I have gone to Count Sabine and pointed out his attitude toward his knights?”
Both are actions that a person with a high position should not do.
Considering the status of Hwanin, as the holy emperor of Yeongdo, it is necessary to send a formal letter of protest to Cheonwanggung and point it out as diplomatic rudeness.
However, Hwanin mentioned it casually, giving them a chance to take a step back and deal with it. He gave me a chance to smooth things over.
And it was the Kang Seongpae faction that took advantage of the opportunity.
“In other words, if you resent it, you have to do it to the faction even if you had a strong attack that caused Count Sabine to fall. But looking at what the vice-captain is doing right now, it seems like I’m just brawling and whining because I’m complacent. Now, can you guess what will happen if we handle this situation according to the formal procedure and protest to Chunwanggung?”
Her hand, which had been clenched into a fist and trembled, slowly loosened at those words, and her trembling stopped.
Vice-captain Yurt Lang felt the nape of her neck grow cold and her head, which had become dull from overwork, suddenly wake up.
A catastrophe caused by a heart longing for the leader and a dull judgment from overwork.
If Seongje goes back and mentions this, he and Leah Uka will be caught up in the political whirlpool again.
This time, it won’t end with suspension and confinement in the mansion, but even deprivation of title.
Not only that, but the reputation of the 2nd Knights will also fall and fall into the abyss. Because of his own foolish behavior.
After grasping the situation, Yurtrang, with a pale complexion, clenched his fist again, then stood up in front of the desk and bowed deeply to Hwanin. In the wind, a pair of breasts that are in no way inferior to Isilite’s are swaying and swaying.
= I’m sorry. I fell into delusion and committed a great disrespect to the Holy Emperor.=
“…”
=There is no way to know how to ask for forgiveness from the holy priest who must have been offended by my foolish behavior. If you tell me how to do it, I will sincerely ask for your forgiveness.=
Anne, who was disapproving of Yutrand’s oath, whispered.
=I’m serious.=
“…”
Even if it’s a way to get forgiveness… There’s nothing very appealing about it.
He is not reluctant to ask for riches, magic tools, or magic tools. Wealth is what you earn when you hunt heterogeneous species in the labyrinth, and halfway magic tools are not as good as Yurpa’s handmade.
Above all, isn’t it like taking advantage of a weakness and extorting property to demand such riches in exchange for an apology?
If this story is known, it’s the inside story, anyway, those who like to talk may produce and circulate nonsense.
Hwan-in, who had been thinking about her for a while, had no meaning or meaning, and the no-bra gave her yurt-rang breasts a moment’s attention, and then passed her thoughts on to her.
“It would be better for the vice-captain to think about how to apologize.”
=… !=
“I’ll stop talking about it here, and the reason I want to check the core and core is because it’s related to sexual misfortune.”
=… Are you talking about sexual misfortune?=
“Even if they are the same knight, the work of a low-ranking average knight and a knight commander will be different. I would appreciate it if you could understand what I am trying to do in that category.”
In an easy-to-understand analogy that one would not do without knowledge, Yutrang bit his lower lip slightly and nodded his head.
=Okay. However, patrolling the Core Chamber is set to once every two days. Coincidentally, a tour of the labyrinth tomorrow and a patrol of the room of the core are scheduled, and today it is late, so why don’t you rest at the military camp until noon tomorrow?
“I will follow the vice-captain’s suggestion.”
Thanks to his knights, he arrived at the military camp quickly, and since he had no intention of being forced, Hwanin nodded his head obediently.
Vice-captain Yurt Lang rang his handbell again to break the sound barrier and summoned his attendant.
=Guide Seongje’s party to the VIP barracks.=
= Old. Seongje-nim, this is this side.=
Shortly after the spirit knights, who had revealed their suffocating sense of intimidation and stinging death without filtering, left the barracks.
Yurtrang, who couldn’t get his hands on work, asked the knight who was quietly standing with his ice-cold hand covering his radiant forehead.
= Rooney. What kind of person is Seongje?=
=The rumors circulating within the Knights were all nonsense. He’s a cool and calm person, but he didn’t seem like someone who would slander without reason. He also showed how much he cared for the soul knight. =
= Uh…=
=And he is a master of martial arts and seems to be a master of soul art. It’s a martial art that kills two 4th-tier old castle urgers in just one breath, and a group of nearly 20 bugbears with a single wave of the hand to explode and kill them.=
=That, was that enough?=
=If you look at the shape and concentration of that aura, isn’t it about level 8? Because 8th graders are beyond superhuman and have reached the realm of rookies… In my judgment, it seemed possible to break through the 7th grade labyrinth if there were all the spirit knights. Minch, Adrek, and Kohi have seen the same thing, so if you don’t believe me, call them and ask them.=
=…=
Yurt Lang lingered in front of her desk, gesturing anxiously, biting her thumb nails at even worse news.
Luni, who was staring at it, opened her mouth cautiously.
= I… Vice-captain.=
=Why.=
= This day, I think that the formation of the 2nd Sky Knights may change if the Armed Ministers hear it. Rumors are spreading in the second-floor plaza. The one who healed the punishment of His Majesty the Heavenly King is Seongjenim…=
=…=
= Just… Yes.=
= I know But I have no idea how to ask for forgiveness. I didn’t even seem to have a bath… !=
To say I can’t guess is a lie. I also felt it with Yurt. When he was apologizing, Seongje’s gaze clearly reached his heart.
In this fucking big, cumbersome lump of flesh.
What that means…
Seongje is also a man, so he must have been interested in these beggarly big breasts. But I…
= After all, isn’t dedicating one’s body the right answer? Men of other tribes usually covet our Flavian women’s bodies…=
=… Runy.=
=Yes?! I can’t! There is a man who promised to marry!=
= I’m not asking you to go instead of me. With me…=
= No! Even if you give me an order, I will refuse! The mistake was made by the vice-captain, so the vice-captain must take responsibility!=
=… Seed. Hey, fuck your head. Where is this right now?
The senior knight of Luni folded his two pairs of wings and quickly bombarded Wonsan. It’s 100 times better to be rude and get dragged away and put your head in a bar where you will commit adultery for an hour.
And vice-captain Yurt Lang, frustrated with his distraught mind, started pacing in front of his desk again, shaking his bare breasts with his bra unbuttoned.
She’s not the girl I’ve been saving for this kind of thing…
=… Mr. Hey, aren’t you fucking the head straight?!=
Puck pushes Rooney’s side and knocks him over, but Rooney hits her head again with a knife-like motion. It’s hard to find fault with how angular the behavior is.
However, among the things I learned during my long military life, there were also things that made up faults that weren’t there.
From Rooney’s point of view, it was an absurd situation to be hit next to an angular stone, but isn’t it in military life that such irrationality happens at any time?
Knowing that the vice-captain’s anger was the result of having already made a decision in his heart, he subtly turned his phase power into his body to strengthen it and endured the vice-captain’s thirst.
I believe it will be over in a while.
