Chapter 665 – 658 Canyon City Nirain
The Red Rock Hotel that Isilite checked into was in an upscale commercial district, at the heart of Nirain.
Even in such an upscale commercial district, the hotel is one block away from Crossroads, the center.
Even if you listen to this much, you can see that it is not a top-notch 0-tier hotel in Nirain, but it is an accommodation facility where even aristocrats can stay without objection.
A U-shaped three-story building with straight-cut stone exterior walls. Hwan-in, who entered the hotel, which was designed to exchange internally and externally and pursued elegance amidst such modesty, was greeted by the hotel manager and employees who were intimidated.
=All members of the Red Rock Hotel warmly welcome the visit of Yeongdo’s green saints, Seo and Seongjenim.=
Guests resting in the neat, tidy, yet luxurious hotel lobby, or people waiting to check in or out, stare at ‘What is this?’
Hwanin, who had her hood pressed down deeply, put her hand on her chest without answering and slightly bowed her head. With an expression on his face, he bowed his back.
Isilite stepped forward with a look that seemed like it would always be if left alone.
= Manager. May I ask you to show me to your room?=
= No, of course. Sungjae, this is it. … What are you guys doing? Accept the load of the knights… !=
At the manager’s muted screams, the hotel staff from the left and right hurriedly approached, but the women of Hwanin politely declined and carried their luggage to the room.
The room the group rented was the highest quality room on the 3rd floor of a 3-story building.
It is like a penthouse with 5 rooms, 4 toilets, 1 large bathroom, 2 small shower rooms, a large living room and a living room.
=If you pull the string of the simple table here, the person in charge will come to you right away. If there are any inconveniences, we will correct them immediately, so please feel free to pull the strings…=
=Thank you for your kind explanation. We’ll take care of the rest, so the manager can just leave.=
=Yes, yes. Then rest in peace…=
As soon as the door to the room closed, Hwanin took off the hood he had been wearing all along and brushed her bangs.
She began to put down her gym bag, which the women had also brought, and Anne carried her and her sister’s and younger’s personal belongings into the room, and she chuckled.
=This was the first time the manager seemed pitiful.=
= She’s in a great mood when she quietly holds her weight. Some of Seongje-nim’s aura was overwhelming, and some were even more shivering because he was an ordinary manager.
When Yu Lepa accepted her words with a smile, Ayoung giggled too.
=The people in the lobby were just staring blankly at us?=
=Anyway, he looks a bit timid, but since he seems capable, he seems to be able to get rid of the chattering manager, so he won’t be tired. Well, if something gets tiring, I or Seuli can go downstairs and put pressure on me.
Attended by Isilite, Hwanin took off her hooded cloak and Tianling’s half-coat and stroked her beautiful amber hair, praising her.
“I found a good hotel. She had a hard time even checking in.”
= No. She also learned this in the maid’s house. She made some mistakes, but with Ayoung’s help, she was able to do it without any problems. =
“Okay. Ah, come here.”
=Yes!=
She ran up to her like a puppy, and Ah-yeong, who stuck out her head, was petted, and her body moved so much that if she had a tail, she would spin around like a windmill.
Hwanin, who praised the two of them like that, gathered her girlfriends who were trying to organize her luggage first in the living room.
“As expected. As a result of a brief inspection of the entire city with the Hwanyeon Spirit Scout, the security is not very good. The reason can be attributed to the offensive of the evil faction that attacks quarterly.”
“People from all over Heathrond gather to earn money to fight the evil faction. The kites who committed crimes are also brought in and used as meat shields or seeds for breeding.
=Well, most bordering cities feel like that, so it’s not unusual.=
Hwanin also nodded at Anne’s grave reply.
“Here, too, it is divided into upper, middle, and lower classes. You could call it Harlem, for example. I don’t think I’ll go down to the lower level for personal business, but… Ayoung.”
=Yes?=
“If you have to go, pay attention to your manners. I don’t want to be caught by the lord of the city and stay for a long time.”
Realizing that she pointed out that she had knocked on the city’s lower class bully in the alleyway at the entrance, Ah-young smiled awkwardly and nodded her head.
“Mid-level streets are filled with people who have made a fortune in war, mixed with ordinary citizens of the Niran. Most of the supplies seem to be gathered once in the intermediate distance and spread to the lower and upper grades, so there will be frequent occasions to go to the intermediate distance for errands. At that time, don’t go alone, just the two of you.”
=Yul and Bell, did you hear that?=
= Is it the same with Miss Anne? She says that if she reveals her identity, the ladies are Youngdo’s face madam soul knights, so you shouldn’t hit and kick someone for making you feel bad. =
= Huh? Wait, was I that kind of image?=
=Anne’s older sister has a violent image next to me, right? The exact opposite of us is Ryogang and Yurpa unnie.=
= No no! Dew Seul has a more violent image than me! Up until this point, I was the only one who pressured my opponent with force?! But she thinks she’ll slit her throat with a greatsword if she’s wrong!
= Is she calm and rational unless it’s her older brother’s business? However, I think Anne will smile and squeeze her opponent’s face with one hand if her opponent comes out unsportingly. =
= That…=
When Anne made an expression of regret at Baek Ryeo-gang’s evaluation, the women giggled.
Hwanin also smiled slightly, then continued with a serious attitude.
“Speaking of strength and weakness, it probably has nothing to do with you guys.”
Even when going out of town, Yurpas always carry amulets and magic tools for self-defense.
The power of various types of amulets and magic tools is at a level where even the lower knights of Palatum can escape after a while.
If she decides to run away, even her demons feel a bit in trouble, so the magic tools she wears on her body are equipped with functions for preventing all kinds of abnormal conditions, jumping into space for short distances, and surviving.
The reason for preparing this is because he knows that if he gets into trouble and something bad happens to his body, Hwanin will become enraged and slash (physically) all the heads of those involved.
“What I’m concerned about is, as Yurupa said, I have become the signboard of the zero island. That means that you are also being asked to behave accordingly. I think you know very well what that means.”
=If we use violence or act like a gangster, the reputation of the doryeong as well as the yeongdo will be lowered…=
“Okay. So, it is a story that the two of you should pair up so that there will be no problems with the moths that are attracted to your beautiful appearance.”
The streets of the upper class are noble streets in the first place. Only those with a certain status and position, such as semi-nobles or top lords of the upper guild, and rich in wealth, could enter. Because of this, the security is so certain that even the lord cares about it.
However, there were also soldiers who were a little corrupt on the middle class street, so it was said not to go alone, but the women were more embarrassed by his appearance compliments than that, and his face blushed.
=Yes.=
= Certainly…=
Humans are stupid creatures who repeat the same mistakes.
Temporary paralysis of reason is quite common, and as a result, with the liver protruding out of the stomach, it is possible to wield one’s own life.
Knowing well that Hwanin’s concerns were not groundless, the women nodded their heads saying that they should definitely go together.
Anne, who had calmed the heat on her face, opened her mouth.
=Then what is the schedule like at Niline?=
“In a few hours, someone from the lord’s castle will come out and invite me. After moderately interacting with the lord, find a way to cross the gorge safely, then finish supplying and leave.”
= What about sexual misfortune? It’s been a while since the Seungryeong Heavenly Emperor ended, but since the Holy Emperor has arrived, you can ask for a favor.=
“As a result of digesting fragments for about two weeks and practicing reiki circulation, it is judged that you can perform basic spirit wine. If you want misfortune, I plan to use the Spirit Spell once.”
If your soul ascends to heaven and attains Buddhahood in a place where you are not confident, there will be no need to accept a piece of your soul into your body.
=Master, it’s over.=
“Thanks. You too should wash with the white lily river. If an invitation comes from the lord’s castle, I intend to take you and Baeknyeogang.”
=Yes, Master.=
Hwan-in, who received Isilite’s bath attendant and even had her hair trimmed, stood by the window and basked in the refreshing breeze.
It was annoying that her hair was too long, but thanks to Isilite’s trimming, the nape of her neck felt cool, and when she drank a drop of holy water in the purple fruit juice Bai Lugang had made, she flicked her tongue like a soda. The freshness is doubled.
“…”
Hwanin’s eyes headed towards the opposite side of the wall, towards the canyon.
A canyon of enormous scale, as if God had split the land.
Although he had never personally seen the Grand Canyon of the United States, Hwanin thought that it would not even reach the Neraltored Grand Canyon.
The depth is so deep that it is impossible to detect even the spirits of fantasy, and the width is also far beyond her detection range.
Nirain Gorge, built on the cliff of such a grand canyon, looks like Baesan Imsu with mountains on both sides with the grand canyon at its back.
The terrain on this side is higher than on the other side of the canyon, so you can see quite far. And the villages formed across the gorge and the people flying over the gorge.
Let’s call it an airplane landing. Join tribes or Flavius tribes carry the people or luggage they have been waiting for and fly across.
I thought about how to cross the canyon, but it is more primitive and outdated than expected.
As Hwanin was looking around the city like that, a small shadow flew sharply behind him, aiming for the nape of his neck.
“What are you doing?”
“I was looking at the city.”
Hwanyeon, which flew in silently, sits on Hwanin’s shoulder and secretly clings to his neck, sniffing and sniffing. Then, looking a little satisfied, she asked him a question.
“If it’s that way to cross the gorge, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to ride the Norn after Yurpa uses the miniaturization secret technique?”
“Yes.”
“Then why did you come to Nirain? Give me some juice.”
I lifted the cup and tilted it slightly, so I grabbed the cup with both hands and sipped the juice.
Hwanyeon, who drank almost 100mL, more than her body, exhaled a small breath as if she was alive and wiped her lips.
“Were Ayeong asleep when she reported the communication with Elmine yesterday?”
“Huh. My back and lower back hurt so much because of someone.”
“… I don’t know why you keep provoking me when you’re having such a hard time.”
“Kick kick. It’s because it’s more strange to fall for such a provocation. Is not it? Oh, papa♡」
“…”
It’s been 3 weeks since she started mixing her body with her.
Perhaps thanks to the emotional stabilization effect of sexual intercourse, almost all of the gloomy expressions and emotions that were shown at times have disappeared, but on the contrary, it is difficult to be a little playful.
It’s all about accepting the prank and not responding to the provocation…
Hwan-in sighed lightly at Hwan-yeon, who breathed into her own ear, and brought up the original subject.
“According to the reports posted by Elmine, it appears that the fangs of the Savior and the Assassins of Nassarat are working together.”
“There’s no way you’re the target, are you Ayoung?”
“Okay. One Karax’s group of assassins is gone, and the name has been inherited by one, and he has become my fifth soul knight.”
“It must be because he thought that if he assassinated Ayeong, the assassin of Karax, who is said to be the best in the industry, would be emotionally annihilated due to his achievement of assassinating the spirit knight of the Holy Emperor. It’s stupid.”
“The opportunity to raise their reputation and make them the top in the industry is right in front of them. If you look at the tendency of that group, they probably thought it was worth taking a risk.”
It’s not like he’s trying to kill the Emperor. Seeing the opportunity, he would have thought that there was no risk as he would only kill one girl who was a 7th-class priestess and escape.
「Huh. Hasn’t it been over a month now? A woman named Elmine is also quite capable. Seeing that she asked for this kind of information at that time.」
Elmine, who received 1000 gold coins as operating funds, reorganized her organization and at the same time weaved and weaved knowledge and wisdom to quickly lay the foundation for the organization, while she worked hard to improve the method of information collection and the quality and quantity of information collected. Did.
She, of course, also worked on creating added value to make a profit.
The reason why Hwanin threw her 1000 gold coins was the white wolves’ all-out reform.
Reform is not only about re-establishing the symbolism and direction of a group, but also includes the basis for self-reliance.
A month after Hwanin’s visit, Elmine poured out nosebleeds every day to promote reform, verify and organize the loyalty of the members, and select three people with excellent intelligence and wisdom and roll them to death together.
As a result, she began to pay off to some extent, and part of that performance was the trend of her former kindred rivals, Assassin of Nassarat and Fang of the Savior.
Members of Karax’s Assassins have been dealing with information and assassination from the beginning.
Elmine, which reorganized and reformed the organization based on its capabilities and changed it to a point organization method, took advantage of its existing operating experience and advantages to recruit local informants in the field and began collecting and organizing information in earnest. 3 times that of this previous Assassin of Karax.
There was evidence that the fangs of Nassarat and the Savior were moving.
“Even if you’re not competent, you have to be competent.”
She is even supported by the great saintess, with the Seongje of Yeongdo as the background.
She must have been working hard because she would know better than anyone what her track record would be like and what would happen if she didn’t achieve results.
“By the way… Fantastic.”
“Huh.”
“Are there any changes in your body yet?”
Hwanin, who was gazing at the endless grassland beyond the grand canyon, shifts his gaze to the city.
His eyes caught sight of four lavishly decorated white horses leading a splendid white chariot. Looking in the direction, this seems to be the destination.
“Doesn’t exist. It seems that my body and the Six Delight Medicine don’t match well. I think the compatibility of the inner flesh is good.”
“Is it.”
Hwanin felt a little relieved inwardly as he did not feel any negative emotions such as regret, sadness, or despair despite the fact that it did not work.
The madness of futility that she sometimes showed seemed to require identity, existence, and emotional stability, but if the six healing medicines were activated late or did not work, there would still be a risk factor.
Now that we have some time to spare, we should also be mindful of finding something to further establish her identity…
“Don’t worry. It won’t cause seizures anymore. Apparently, rather than establishing my abilities and body, I think I needed more someone to accept this unknown body and create a place for me.”
… Hwan-in, who thought he should take care of her, looked at the hwan-yeon that flew in front of his eyes at her answer.
A small, unadorned smile appeared on his face. It is an expression that will never be seen as a lie for reassurance.
“Thank you. For accepting me And for making a place for me.”
“… Okay.”
Sensing that he was a little shy beyond his expressionless expression, Hwanyeon smiled briskly and kissed him with a bud kiss on his lips.
Hwan-yeon enters the bed basket on the table, and a moment later, a white carriage stops by the hotel.
Then three descended and five Flavian knights gathered.
Hwanin’s eyes turn to one of them and become heavy.
‘Mixed…’
A moment later, there was a thump and heavy knock at the door.
=I’m leaving.=
Taking off her lighthouse light uniform top, Anne, dressed rather casually, walks out wearing a formal warhammer at her waist.
Click.
Opening the door to her guest room, Anne blinked once, stunned at the sight of a single-winged man standing in front of her.
What. What about this ridiculous and flashy attire?
= Oh. You are a wonder of the famous Silver Iron Wall, Guardian Spirit Knight Anne. Nice to meet you, Sun of the Red Earth, Marquess of Northern Heathrond, Lord of the Nyraltored Grand Gorge that runs from the Grand Canyon of Portonio, and ruler of the canyon city of Nirain, Second Son of His Excellency Yam Hemilnia, Countess of Nirain, Ufey Hamiltoner This is the knee line.=
Shoulders swollen with something, a doublet with vertical golden patterns on a white background, pumpkin pants and white tights, and an exaggerated red shoulder cape and a white feather hat.
Anne was at a loss for words at the exaggerated aristocratic greeting in her grand fashion, but thanks to the manners she had learned since childhood, she was able to answer without showing off.
= This is Anne, the second soul knight of Sungje. So, why did the second son of the Count come to visit her?
= What would you like to hide? It is to meet the face of the Holy Emperor, who suddenly appeared like a comet for several years and started with the nickname of a green saint and became a shining star of Yeongdo.
= Yes, yes…=
He looked at Wufei, the second son of the lord family, with the eyes of truth, but everything was true and sincere.
Seongjae is said to have a position second only to the Great Saint of Yeongdo, but that is within Yeongdo. He had nothing to do with the aristocracy, so to put it a little radically, he was like a commoner.
A thoughtless person with a short string of knowledge would be able to look down on Seongje, but Wufei reveals her sincerity with her whole body from one to ten as if she really respects Hwanin.
His clothes and fashion sense are a bit burdensome, but he doesn’t seem like a bad person.
Anne glanced at the two aides and five knights standing behind him and spoke to Wufei.
= I can’t come in. Up to two people only. Are you okay?=
=Of course. Leave Gems alone, the others go down and wait.=
Chuck.
The Flavius tribe raises and descends salutes in perfect order, as if the blessing of blessing is omitted.
Anne stepped aside to let Wufei and a single-winged woman named Jems enter, and she slowly followed Wufei, putting her hand on the handle of her ceremonial warhammer.
Although it is meant for ceremonies, it is enough to become a vicious weapon in the hands of a 7th class professional. If the two of them try to do something strange, it’s to smash the bone pain at once.
A woman named Gems glanced at Anne, but she said nothing.
= Oh, oh oh! Ohhhhh!!=
Anne flinched in surprise at Wu Fei’s sudden exclamation and the sight of him running toward Hwanin, but Wu Fei only knelt down on one knee as if to jump three steps away from Hwanin standing by the window.
= Jung… !=
“Quietly.”
Then, just before he pours out praises decorated with all sorts of rhetoric, Hwanin raises his index finger and sends a signal to shut up.
Moved and thrilled by the dazzling aura, Wu Fei immediately shut up.
Hwanin nodded slightly at his appearance and continued the story in a quiet voice.
“Excessive ceremonies are just burdensome. Please understand that staying at this hotel was unavoidable due to the status of the Holy Emperor.”
Nod.
“If you are ready to have a concise conversation without using modifiers, you can say it.”
=Wufei Hamiltoner would like to deliver a personal letter from His Excellency Count Yam Hemilnia of Nirain, lord of Nirain, to His Holiness the Holy Emperor.=
“I express my respect for the second son of the Nirain family to come and deliver a personal letter.”
=Nothing.=
Are you the same person as him?
Hwanin gave Anne a brief look at Anne, who held her lips tight enough to hold back her laughter, and accepted the high-quality scroll rolled up in Wufei’s hand, who seemed to have changed 180 degrees.
The content was the same as what he said.
Excluding the rhetoric that accounts for about 70%, I invite you to the family gathering at Mowol, so please come and visit me.
Hwanin opened his mouth to the message asking the messenger to inform him of the date if he accepted the request.
“I am grateful for the lord’s invitation, but unfortunately I have a long way to go and I am in a hurry so I can’t afford a long time. In three days, including today, we are going to cross the gorge and head for the Cheonam Mountains, so in the meantime, I would like to ask the lord to meet me.”
= How about noon tomorrow? The lord enjoys a heartfelt conversation, even if it is short, so I can tell you that the things that the Holy Emperor is concerned about will not happen.=
“…”
Hwanin exchanged glances with Wufei for a moment, then turned her head to look out of her window at one of the people standing around the white and gold-rimmed carriage.
To be precise, it is Honjae, the red spirit staring at him from behind him.
Hwanin turned his head again to Wufei, who began to show his doubt on his face, and nodded his head with a soft smile.
“Yes. Please tell them that you would like to see them at that time.”
=Old.=
Wufei bowed to Hwanin with the moderation of a knight, bowed to him as a member of the aristocratic family, and disappeared with his aide.
All the exaggerated behavior I saw at first was a lie-like attitude.
=I was a bit embarrassed, but I wasn’t a bad person.=
= He behaves exaggeratedly, but seeing how he changes his attitude at his brother’s words, it seems that he doesn’t have the ability? =
=Are you a messenger sent to Seongjae? If you send a stupid and careless person, you will live your life. How could you send such a person?
=If you think about the ecology of nobles with a high stupidity index, you can’t say that there are none…=
= Well…=
Hwanin, who was staring at the carriage leaving with the man Wufei and Honjae clinging to, looked back at her girlfriends.
= Girls. What are you going to do now?=
=I’m thinking of going out with Li Kang to look for groceries in the city.=
=I think I’ll wash some clothes after I’ve cleaned up my weapons and equipment.=
= What are you doing? She is Isilite sister.
=Then Ahyoung help me. She needs a test to make a secret art. =
=Yes.=
= I will help you too. You can do equipment maintenance later.=
=Thank you~.=
GFriends who are trying to find something to do normally.
Wouldn’t it be nice to talk first? Even if it’s mixed up, it’s not a big problem anymore, but if you think about the situation before and after…
After thinking about it, Hwanin opened his mouth to his girlfriends who looked back at him.
“I just saw Honjae.”
=Seungryeongcheonjeje was only two weeks ago, are you already confused?=
Hwan-in turned his head to see a jewel rat sleeping in a bottle on the table like a human.
Looking at the carefree jewel rat, she revealed the truth she had been hiding quietly.
“It may be my guess, but it seems to be related to the traces of the annihilated merchant guild that I found on the road on the way back.”
= You can write it as a guess and accept it as a certainty… Evil!=
With a thump on Ayeong’s head, Anne, who clenched her fist, asked her Hwanin with her cautious face.
= It was not a simple monster attack. Did you find any traces of an attack there?=
“Okay. I thought it would have nothing to do with us, and I didn’t say it because I thought it would be too meddling.”
= Uh… Who was the confusion? If…=
“It wasn’t the second son. It was one of the aides standing in the back.”
=Are you saying that Count Yam was a bad person? …=
In the conversation between him and Anne, Baek Ryogang muttered with a slightly gloomy face. It’s a face full of disappointment that I didn’t expect it to be like that.
“That’s something you don’t know. And it is a prejudice to think that Hon-jae was a righteous person and that the person who created Hon-jae was a villain. Resentment, vengeance, and anger that pierce the sky are feelings that anyone can have.”
=… Ah.=
=Um.=
Hwanin nodded slightly at the look of the female friends whose expressions became more cautious.
“I said it with the intention of asking you to know for now, so don’t be too burdened. And when I meet the lord at noon tomorrow, I take only Isilite and Baekryeogang…”
= Can I go too? I can take human form now.=
Hwanin, who briefly thought about the story of Norn holding Silu in his arms like a doll, added one more person.
