Chapter 702 – 695 Daevaston Mountains
A clearing in a dense forest that leads from the Daevaston Mountains to the Great Plains of Hiarid.
The women, who had taken out the wagon there, packed up, tied Que to the wagon, and finished preparations for departure, did not depart until 20 minutes after that.
=… Hey, dew, you go and call me. Your name is Master.=
= Shi, I don’t like… Since you are more open-minded than me, Anne, go and call the master.
=No, I have no face with Doryeong these days… Yui’s sister? Sister, if you cover your ears and close your eyes, doesn’t nothing happen? Sister?=
=Ah~~ I don’t know, I don’t know~~ I can’t hear~~ I can’t see~~.=
= Oh, sisters. My, my, my, my, my, like I’m listening to mama… !=
= Ah… No! It’s okay. Bell, I think I’ll run out of breath if I ask you to do it. Ah Young?=
= Ugh, should I do it… ?=
=At times like this, the youngest should step in.=
=Eh, if I talk to you, I think my throat will fall off…=
Not living, not feeling intimidated… She sees far away with an ice-cold smile and cold eyes like frost. Thinking she should approach him and talk to him makes her heart strain.
I can’t even subtract it Because she thinks Bell will try to go if she doesn’t go. Norn holds Silu on the roof of the carriage and teaches her something.
‘I wish there was another one under me…’
But are the only people worthy of entry, such as Ji Ji-ryul and the great sage? If he comes in, I think I’ll be pressured and continue to be the maknae.
As she hesitated and approached him, Ayeong’s body trembled under the strange pressure.
What is this? What kind of energy She also has a lot to see and hear about as an assassin in her own way, but the energy she feels from him is very unfamiliar.
No… Is it similar to when her brother unleashed a soul drink in the underground den labyrinth?
It was Ah-young who finally understood that her sisters were not going.
How could her older sisters not want to talk to her brother just because the atmosphere was scary? The older sisters were the first to feel this unknown energy flowing from their older brother!
‘… Women have guts!’
In the labyrinth of her underground burrow, she failed to display that guts and her ugliness came to her memory, but her soon-to-be-cleaned A-young was her hind-up—strengthening her belly and opening her mouth. Opened
= Oh, brother. Chu, chupral, preparations for departure are all over… ?!=
“… Hmm.”
As soon as he speaks to her, the unknown energy that flowed from him disappears as if washed away, and her expression changes to a calm expression as usual.
Thanks to that, Ayoung was able to catch her breath.
“I’ve been preparing everything while I was thinking about something else.”
Only then did she see her older sisters and her friends sneaking up on her, and Ah-yeong puffed out her cheeks a little, then asked her Hwan-in more comfortably.
= What did you think? You were communicating with someone earlier, did you get some bad news from the white wolves?=
“It’s not the white wolves, you said something that the Great Saint wouldn’t welcome. Gather everyone.”
Hwanin, who called her girlfriends together, told them of a plan he had devised based on the conversation he had with the great saint, with some additional explanations.
“It is only when the other side gives such an excuse that this side will go out with violence. Violence without name is subject to criticism and criticism.”
For now, it is true that something, 2%, is not enough to mobilize violence.
To the general public, even if they know what the nation called Merianol has done, they will burst into anger, saying that they are wrathful bastards, but when it comes to the national leadership, it means that they do not agree with the legitimacy of this side.
‘Can’t you do something like that even in an assassination attempt? He didn’t do it himself, he didn’t die, and the other side is trying to apologize in its own way.’
… I would look at it this way.
Politics tends to be lukewarm like that, so that kind of impact is needed to get them to take a more certain stance…
“What I am going to do now is a device to give that impact.”
=Shock.=
To Anne, who muttered softly, her phantom nodded her head and continued the explanation.
“The capital of Merianol is currently showing signs of being dominated by Turcion. Turcion may try to manipulate Merianol from behind the scenes instead of coming forward, but either way, I have no choice but to be uncomfortable with Turcion.”
= So you’re trying to encourage them? By secretly distributing to the public what I heard from the great sage and the evidence my brother had. Meria Play kidnaps dimensional wanderers from the other world and uses them, roughly this much?=
At Ah-young’s opinion, women widened their eyes and said that Hwan-in was like that.
“I will dismiss the simple rumors as nonsense. Such malicious rumors are already at the level where nobles and nobles from other countries openly speak.”
There are many people who dislike Merianol for gathering and protecting dimensional wanderers. Malice and rumors that originated from such people spread to the upper classes.
Spread it to the public this time.
“Of course, if you just spread rumors, the effect will be small. So we add some devices.”
First, use the black jade to blast the spirit wine. And they hide on Earth for a few days, and Young-do informs them that Seong-je is missing.
Rumors that started with Daeseongnyeo and Yeongdo will quickly spread throughout the continent.
Rumor has it that Seongjae, a candidate for the great sage, has lost contact with the great sage after meeting him.
A few days later, rumors will circulate again saying, “Traces of an enormous explosion have been found in a place where news of the Holy Festival has been cut off.”
“The moment these three rumors come together, Merianol will not be able to sit still. One rumor that is ambiguous whether or not Dimensional Wanderers are forcibly summoned and disposed of in Merianoll, one rumor that Seongje has gone missing, and rumors that traces of an unknown explosion have been found in the vicinity of Seongje’s disappearance, and that Seongje is also a former Dimensional Wanderer. One.”
=…=
=…=
=…=
The women felt goose bumps.
Even with their poor imagination, they clearly remembered the confusion that Meriano would experience when the rumors were combined.
All those rumors will merge into one, and it will be misrepresented as saying that Merianol harmed the Holy Emperor.
Merianol will not be able to escape the eyes of Radsea-Heathrond-Veltical-Zero. Merianole citizens, many of whom are relatively benevolent, may step forward and try to verify the truth.
The Tower of Green Leaves, the secret group hidden in it, Gyeolmyeongja, must be crazy.
Even if it’s a lie, it’s going to be a lot of trouble to explain the fact, but that’s all true, right?
“When I return from Earth, it will be three months at the shortest and half a year at the longest. From then on, my options for activities broaden.”
=Uh, how does it get wider?=
“It is an option to directly attack Turcion’s territory or the nobles’ territory belonging to the Tower of Blue Leaves.”
=Eh?!=
= Huh? How? Oppa was also contemplating a direct hit because of public opinion.=
“Prior to the six-year disappearance, I issued a reminder and an official statement. That would justify my hitting action. In addition, there is more solid evidence than anything else to prove Merianol’s evil deeds.”
Hwanin lists the occurrences of events in the order of their appearance.
1. The Elwidris ‘Prophet’ family of Merianol assumed that Seongje was the Demon King and attempted to assassinate him.
2. After the incident, Merianol dragged the case for half a year and did not give a definite answer.
3. Seongjae issued a reminder and official statement.
4. Afterwards, Seongje met with the great sage and disappeared.
5. A large-scale unidentified phenomenon was discovered at the place where Seongje disappeared.
6. Rumors spread that Merianol is experimenting with summoning dimension wanderers.
7. From Seongjedo Dimensional Wanderer.
Here, the women swallowed their astonishment with a gasp.
Anyone who has eaten even a little bit of ink can’t stop doubting Merianol.
In particular, the fact that Turcion embraced the survivors of the Elwidris family civil war will fuel suspicion. In addition, Merianol’s current chaotic internal situation.
There is one more.
“8. After disappearing for about half a year, Seongje appeared and became enraged and attacked the nobles belonging to the Tower of Blue Leaves and the Turcion family.”
… For half a year, the leaders of each country must have done everything they could imagine. And when Seongjae, who was said to be missing, suddenly appeared and started attacking Merianol, he would feel all his imagination coming true.
What if we submit the conclusive evidence, the tribal union coin for the dimension lure, as evidence?
=Those who thought of one thing in a million and spread prudence will drive the truth into the rumor that ‘Marianol is the axis of evil’.=
“Yes. The more I run wild, the more Merianol will be cornered and other countries will have a good excuse to bite Merianol.”
=… Mmm.=
= Well…=
So, for 20 minutes he’s been running a reasonable and plausible war simulation based on this, right?
Women’s reactions were generally divided into two.
In general, Yurpa, who is well aware of the physiology of nobles, Baek Ryogang and Anne’s ‘Doryeong, Scary Man!’ Side.
The other side is Isilite, who has a lot of social experience in her own way but is ignorant of the physiology of an aristocrat, and Ah-yeong, who is still young and has not fully understood the habits of a high-ranking official, who was training as the next molar, but ‘however, will rumors do it?’
“More unexpected problems may pop up in the middle, and the three countries, except for Merianol, may not move as you think. Of course, it doesn’t matter if the three countries don’t actively pressure Merianol. It’s a plan that will succeed even if you just embed the shadow of doubt into the heads of the leaders of the three kingdoms.”
It is to destroy one of the royal families of Merianol and the tower of green leaves, which is counted as one of the three major mountain ranges of Merianol. I made the decision to cross the irreversible river with Merianol, so Merianol’s reaction doesn’t matter.
The important thing is the reaction of the remaining three kingdoms. Radsea, Hethrond, and Beltical should not step forward and be hostile.
Seeing that Isilite and Ayeong were also convinced by his additional explanation, Hwanin asked his girlfriends.
“Then pack up again. Yurpa, please prepare the miniaturization magic for the wagon with Que. Isilite, Anne, and White Ryogang reduce their burdens as much as possible, and Ah-young should contact the white wolves and tell them to spread the ‘rumor’ I just said.”
= Yes. Ladies, please put all your magic tools and magic tools in this pocket first.”
=Yes.=
=Yes.=
Ah-yeong, who was going to a quiet place with a communication crystal ball? She does and she looks back at Yurpa.
=Why do you store magic tools separately?=
= I don’t know Ahyoung. Earth is a world where phase power is very thin. Because of this, if you don’t use a special method, you won’t be able to use it soon. The phase stone used as a material is consumed in an instant.=
= Ah…=
=And take off the clothes everyone is wearing right now and change into these clothes~.=
= It feels similar to the clothes Dae Hyeonja was wearing…=
= Yes. It’s clothes that fit the trend in Korea. Isn’t the great sage dressed like that because she couldn’t forget her hometown? =
While the girlfriends were reducing their luggage and organizing the bulk, Hwanin took out eight pieces of black jade from the wild dog warriors and examined them.
A bead with innumerable small crossbeams floating all over black, as if it were cut out of the night sky.
When the Wild Dog Warriors were first made of black jade, it was a matte black marble that would absorb all light.
But maybe it’s because the spirit art of the Hwanin has also grown after going through various things from the situation of Alsop to now. It has changed quite a bit.
Hwan-yeon, who had been listening quietly while Hwan-in’s story progressed, climbed on his shoulder and asked.
“What. Is that black jade?”
“Okay.”
“It has changed quite a bit. I really hated it and the feeling of reluctance decreased a lot. If there are more crossbeams inside the beads and the beads turn white, won’t you be purified from evil spirits and attain Buddhahood?”
“…”
If it’s like that… I don’t mind. I will leave Nionebreth before that day comes.
“Are you going to detonate the Spirit Spell with that?”
“I left traces by writing with gray jade and sapphire. It would be black jade to write here. The problem is, we don’t know what effect the black jade will have.”
“Considering the properties of each marble, jet jade must be on the rotten side.”
“Okay. If the power is serious, it might damage the basement rate… Mmm.”
“But there is no time to find out. Well, underground rate also seemed to have the ability, and since there is such a thing as the omniscient eye, I’ll solve it in moderation.”
“If it doesn’t work, come back and apologize.”
The name Jiha Yul is also characteristic, and there is a condition that she is a high school student who went missing in the year 16, so it will not be difficult to find her family.
‘It’d be nice to find her family and make sure they’re all right, and get a picture of her family.’
After thinking for a while, Hwanin asked Hwanyeon, who was looking at the black jade.
“Explore the area that can be explored by the Wind Spirit and the Earth Spirit.”
“Is it because of the pursuer?”
“Because it’s difficult for this side’s whereabouts to be revealed now.”
“Huh… Doesn’t exist. In particular, even if you look at the traces of phase power, there is not a single person within 30 km of the wind spirit’s line of sight.”
“Okay.”
Then, all that was left was to cast the black jade spirit spell.
=Baby~ Look here for a second~.=
Let’s go there at Yurpa’s call, pointing to the piled up luggage and asking.
=I can’t bring this to Earth, what should I do?=
“Are the bags and pockets where food ingredients are stored separately?”
= Yes. If you go beyond that, you’ll hardly be able to use the subspace expansion pockets and bags, right? It could explode in the middle of the road and spill the contents.=
Looking at it, most of the food was prepared by Que and Isilite worked hard to keep.
“Hmm… Fantasies, can you bury it deep enough to not be caught in pursuit or exploration?”
“Is it possible.”
= Huh? If that’s the case, wait! Ladies, let’s unpack again!=
Upon Hwanyeon’s answer, the women immediately reclassified their belongings.
What you bring to Earth is a couple of sets of clothes and underwear, as well as weapons and some belongings.
Everyone only packs about the size of a small bag.
After putting the remaining belongings, food and ingredients, and all other items necessary for camping in the subspace preservation bag and the expansion bag, Hwanyeon summoned a higher-level earth spirit and buried it deep in the earth’s crust.
“Since we put our heart and soul into it, even considering science, it will be difficult to find traces even if the highest level land spirit comes. Relais assured me that the transcendental class would notice it only when it comes.”
= Since the material is also material, there will be no problem even if it is buried in the ground for up to 15 years. You can relax.=
Other valuables and wagons that could not be put down were stored in the Aspen, making everyone’s outfit extremely simple.
Girlfriends dressed in ordinary clothes that you can see when you go out into the city.
Each of them is holding Que, which has shrunk to the size of a cat, while Yurpa is carefully holding a wagon that has turned into a toy.
When the wagon with the miniaturization magic was put into Aspend, the proportion of space it occupied was no different from the original size.
Hwanin, who checked the outfits of the girls, fixed his gaze on Baek Ryeo-gang for the last time and said.
“Adneville. I don’t think Quan Yin magic will go beyond the dimension. If you don’t come back within a day after we get back, I’ll go to Alsof to find you. So please don’t make trouble and stay calm.”
While the women were looking at each other, Hwanin stacked the eight black jade pieces he had brought out earlier and put 20% of his core power and 80% of his phase power into them.
Growl—
A vibration resembling a beast’s cry occurs, and the overlapping black jade bulges like an atomic nucleus.
= Hehe. Me, that again…=
= Ugh…=
= I’m afraid to see you in my dreams… !=
“…”
How the hell did it look like that every time you handle a soul orb from the dungeon labyrinth, you get that kind of reaction.
Thinking of having a serious talk with her girlfriends, Hwanin summoned a panel with an improved barrier mage, stepped on it, and jumped out into the forest.
After looking around him, Hwanin identified an appropriate spot, strengthened it by channeling his core power upwards, and then threw the black jade spirit brew that continued to roar like a beast.
Shhh—
The Spirit Spirit flew about 20 km in the blink of an eye, and after a while, it exploded with a heavy sound, not an explosion.
「Ugh… What is that?”
It looked terrible, as if thousands or tens of thousands of black cells had been gathered together and grown to a diameter of hundreds of meters.
At that moment, the black mass convulsed once, and then something began to protrude like a hedgehog. That is not the end, but an unknown light leaks from within.
“Ahh… I won’t see you any more.”
Then, like rotten pus, black things flowed down into the forest, and Hwanyeon moaned and went into Hwanin’s inner pouch.
The explosion happened at that moment.
———
A silent explosion with no sound or vibration.
The sticky-textured surface spreads out with a popping sensation along with the explosion, expands to a diameter of hundreds of meters, and soars into the sky like a clump.
A white mist began to spread over the forest on the ground, and the blue sky quickly became cloudy and blackened like fog, and black mist… The plume of smoke murmurs quietly, with no sign of abating.
And the green, lush forest slowly turned brown around the plume of smoke.
The sight of death descending in the forest so quietly that even Hwanin, who was watching, felt the horror.
Then, for a moment, Hwanin slightly narrowed his eyes at the scene he saw in the smoke.
Something, I think I saw part of the universe in a plume of smoke.
“…”
I waited for a while, but couldn’t see the same thing again.
I was worried about it, but rather than worrying about the phenomenon that I had no way of knowing, I covered it up for now.
Hwanin waited a little longer and watched how far the white mist that sowed death spread. If the expansion range is wide, you have to take your girlfriends and dodge farther back.
However, the fog that only covers a radius of about 1 km has no sign of expanding further. It just gets thicker and gradually hides the still-clumping column of black smoke.
With her satisfied face, Hwanin went back down to the ground and approached her girlfriends talking about Earth and Korea.
= Oh, Dolyeong. Did you just come down without shooting?=
“No, I shot. The black jade spirit possessed a more terrible feeling than I could have imagined.”
Anne, who blinked her eyes a couple of times, can I take a quick look? After receiving permission, they climbed up a nearby tree and jumped up, followed by the other women, each using their own abilities to climb up the forest.
After a while, the women who came down all had pale complexions.
= Self… That’s the soul lord… ?=
“Yes. Doesn’t it look like an evil spirit made into a soul orb and unfolded?”
= Eh… It felt like I could understand how the Red and Black Spirit turned the city of Elwidris into a pile of sand. Even with evil spirit marbles, if you make the mixture into marbles and mix them…=
Don’t say if you’ve even imagined it. Woo-wook, the retching Yurpa.
Shhh—
Hwanin saw that the soul orb of the wild dog Satan had returned and infiltrated his left arm, and he told his girlfriends.
“I’ll start now, everyone stick around.”
As soon as the words are finished, Isilite, Anne, and Yurpa quickly join him on the left and right, and Norn clings to Hwanin in front of him while holding Silu.
Hwanin calmly took a deep breath when Anne called Baek Ryogang and Ah Young, who were not immediately understanding what they meant, and had them hold his hands and arms.
Will it really Will she be able to get over it safely with her girlfriends?
As she recalled the earth, Korea, and her own home there more clearly than ever before, she channeled the warmth and cold inside her body through the pattern on her chest, and her chest, engraved with the pattern, gradually began to heat up.
「Hwanin. It shines in your chest.”
=Oh, my left arm started to glow too… !=
The white light that had leaked through Tianling’s vest and coat gradually turned into golden light, and the heat in his chest changed to the point where it could now be called pain.
With that, I felt my heart tighten slightly.
Hwanin intuited the pain.
This temporary trip to Earth is not something that can be done multiple times. Even if it was possible, would it be two times in the future, or once if it is less?
When I thought so
=Aww?!=
= Oh… !=
A blinding flash covered Hwanin and the women.
