Chapter 726 – 718 Sprould, the Sandstone City
The next morning.
When the news that the lord had committed suicide spread in earnest and the whole city was agitated from dawn, Hwanin led his girlfriends and Que to the castle of the lord.
= Stop…=
=You idiot, give up… ! Shi, excuse me! You can just pass by!
“Isn’t there a toll tax?”
=Yo, all tolls and city taxes are exempted for soul attendants!!=
“Is that so. Then I’ll pass, thank you.=
=Oh no!=
When Hwanin, who rode Shinsuhwa Norn, arrived at the second gate of the inner wall escorted by women, the soldiers sent him away trembling as if he was ill.
Anne opened her mouth in a small voice at the gaze of the soldiers who were terrified as they were moving away.
= If you see him wearing a soldier’s uniform, is he a person who has lived an honest life? =
= One looks like a hastily recruited recruit… The other side is the same as you said.=
=… ?=
Isilite looked back at them with her puzzled eyes, and Ayeong glanced back at her at the gate and explained it.
=Uh, because Issilite was in the guest room. Those who committed serious crimes were sentenced to death, those who committed less serious crimes were expelled from the city, but soldiers who committed lesser crimes ended up with dismissal and fines. The skilled soldiers who remain must mean that they have lived their lives abiding by the law.=
=Ah.=
Isilite, who has been confined to the kitchen of the hotel room because of her securing and organizing food ingredients, except for when she follows Hwanin’s sexual misfortune, nods her head slightly.
After that, when we arrived at Yeongju Castle, where the green energy of the early morning was entwined, a low-ranking knight jumped out in contemplation from the temporary earthen wall and guard post built instead of the collapsed Yeongju Castle gate and castle wall.
=Stand, stand, Sungje!=
“I’m sure you’ve been contacted.”
=Water… It’s Ron! This way! We will guide you!=
As she entered the garden following the nervous knight to the extent that her left hand and foot moved together, a flower garden covered with gray dust came into view.
There was no garden anywhere that was beautifully lit with all colors. A part of the castle that collapsed and became a monstrous object was only covered with a tall soil plate summoned by the land sorcerer.
Since she deliberately gave her a tight deadline, she must not have thought of redecorating and redecorating this place.
Arriving at the main gate of Yeongju Castle, which seemed to have been cleaned at least, Hwanin got off Norn’s back and walked across the high-ceilinged hallway made of sandstone.
It would have been bright if there had been a light, but all the lights are turned off, and as I walk down the dim gray hallway, a chill wraps around my body.
There was no sign of popularity and no human warmth, a chill close to chills.
“…”
Hwanin’s spirit sweeps the castle.
Although the range was greatly increased, it was not enough to penetrate the hard and thick walls, so it was impossible to see far, but at least there were no servants and maids to manage and maintain the castle.
Of course. In the yard where the lord committed suicide, he could not go back to his daily work.
Dijon = Feldrix must have sent all the servants out of the lord’s castle for now.
When he reached the crossroads of the crossroads, following the knight who walked ahead with a rustling sound, Hwanin could feel a strong presence in the opposite corner.
When we stopped, Fleur, a gray-haired old man who appeared only in classic fantasy novels, appeared with a walking cane.
The aura of the Holy Wizard whirlwinds so lofty as to be described as splendid. And as soon as she saw the antique robe with intricately embroidered tan patterns on the pure white, Anne let out a small exclamation mixed with annoyance.
=Kek.=
Hearing that rude voice, the old man scolded her while staring at Anne with her harsh, stern voice.
=Anne Gong. It is not enough to always remind her of her status and role and be careful about her behavior. Keep her classy. =
=…=
While Anne, who was pointed out, made her face look grumpy, Ayeong whispered to her Hwanin in a small voice.
= Higher Cardinal Bifron Ougutus Nemei of the Church of the Land God… The person who bullied Anne’s older sister the most with words yesterday…=
= Ayoung-kyung, she is a cow who did not bully Anne. She just asked for an attitude befitting her status. =
Cardinal B. Pron, who opened his mouth while staring at the stinging Ah-yeong, saw a golden glow flow from Hwan-in’s eyes for a moment and then disappear, and then gripped the head of her staff tightly.
Just now, the light was a noble and holy radiance that symbolized the loving god. In addition, I felt even some divine power, so the rumor that I had divine power after passing through the trials of the God of Mercy must be a true story.
Cardinal Bifron marveled inwardly.
‘To achieve the feat of being a god at that age…’
What is divine power What is a sub-god?
It is a power that can partially imitate the power of a god, and it is a qualification to use divine power.
It is divine power to feel the pain of the soul disappearing or to die if an unqualified person tries to use it, but already at that young age…
Cardinal B. Pron, who had been looking at the calm Hwan-in at least, bowed his head first.
=The old servant of the Church of the Earth God greets His Holiness the Holy Emperor who has received the grace of the God of Mercy.=
“Meet the senior cardinal of the Church of the Land God. It is a weak soul priest who is praised as a holy god by those around him.”
= Heehee…=
In front is the senior cardinal of the Order of the Land God. Behind is the Great Noble Emperor of the Spiritual Path, who has passed the ordeal of the god of love.
The knight, who was trembling as if he would pass out at the sight of the two giants greeting each other with himself in between, hurriedly clung to one wall after seeing Hwanin’s hand gesture.
Hwanin walked to where he was standing and looked up at Cardinal Bifron, who was slightly bent and leaning on his staff.
“I heard that he is a very picky person, but he unexpectedly has an upright personality.”
=This is how rumors do not flow into your ears.=
“It’s easy for young children to listen to advice from adults and chirp like larks.”
As Anne listened to her story from behind, her expression became strange.
If you look at the context, the child Doryeong talked about is himself… So you’re saying that Grandpa thought of me and said something bitter?
‘But that old man was the first to say that he was like Urge. It reached the ears of the other trainees and became my nickname.’
“Since I am busy and cannot be rude, I will try to answer your questions as time permits. Are you okay?”
=How can a small star that will be buried on the other side of time block the path of the rising sun? Don’t worry and pass by. =
“…”
=The old man was just trying to take a last look at the disobedient Thunder Naked.=
After saying that, he called for the Thunder Naked, who was standing behind Hwanin and sticking out his snout.
=A guy like Urgur.=
= Ah! I told you not to call me that, but again!=
= Noisy There is no word that suits the young guy who acted as if he was carrying all the wounds in the world alone. I wondered if I had grown up a bit as if I had met a giant tree I could lean on… Tsk tsk.=
Cardinal Bifron, who had been kicking her tongue at Anne, who frowned as if in disapproval, opened her mouth as if tossing it.
=When you return to the capital, eat your heart out.=
=Why.=
Anne responded to the cardinal like her rebel, but Bifron ignored the reply, lowered her head as if asking her phantom to take good care of her Anne, and slowly walked away from the corridor.
Hwanin, who watched for a moment as the senior cardinal came out and returned alone without an attendant, slapped Anne on the buttocks as she glared at the hallway where the cardinal disappeared with her grumpy face.
If she was an adult, she would have had honey chestnuts on her forehead, but she can’t help it because of her short stature.
= Ugh! Do, Doryong?=
“A guy like Urgur.”
= Oh! Huh…=
Her lips pouted out at the nickname she hated, but Anne couldn’t bear to complain.
In this situation, she was not stupid enough to understand Cardinal Bifron’s hidden heart.
“Let’s go.”
=Yes, yes!!=
Hwan-in and the women urge the frozen low-level knight to start walking again.
Anne rubbed the spot she had been struck by and cast her gaze back to the hallway where Cardinal Bifron had disappeared.
=…=
The impact of Hwanin’s blow was worse than that of her flower petals falling down, but Anne thought that the spot she had hit hurt so badly that she chased after him.
=Yeha Seongje.=
“Sorry for this early morning. What I asked for…”
=Of course, I finished the preparations. We will guide you.=
Dijon = Earl Feldricks, who occupied the office of the lord of Sprould, escaped from the mountain of thousands of documents as soon as the Hwanin party arrived and led him to a small temple built in a solemn place behind the lord’s castle.
The interior, lit day and night by generously using large ore, was similar to the peristyle of a Greek temple.
A temple style with a room of about 100 pyeong in the center and a colonnade surrounding such a room.
=Here.=
Hwanin, who opened the door with the sky and wings patterned on it, first found Rimin, quite tired, waiting with Gray Que and Zelfrey.
=Meet the Holy Emperor.=
Ri-Min greets Hwan-in with perfect aristocratic manners, tiring but tidy.
But that kind of etiquette puts them to shame, and Jellfree is yucky! It flapped its wings and flew towards Hwanin and Norn, revealing intense joy.
‘Why are you here now?’ Hwan-in petted the beak of Jell-Free, who was happy, and sent it to Norn.
The 21st level is the level of the space movement magic circle in which 21 large and small circles are arranged according to the law, and the magic circle drawn here is about 10 meters in diameter.
The fact that such a magic circle is shining means that the phasic power necessary for space movement is filled.
“Did you fill the magic circle with phase power?”
=Yes. Dear teacher…=
After calling him a teacher, Rimin looked at Hwanin’s eyes and continued talking with a smile.
=I volunteered because I wanted to do it for you.=
= It is possible to mobilize the wizards in the castle to fill it, but it would be better if the place where the Emperor Seongje would go would not be known for the time being, so I had my grandson supplement the phase power of the magic team. Would it be a nuisance?=
“No. Thank you for your concern. However, the cardinals of each denomination will be curious about my whereabouts, so don’t bother hiding it, just tell them that I went to Hebült.”
=I will do as you say.=
“And since he will ask if you have any stories left behind, please say that you will be able to find some time after the Merianol case is over.”
Dijon- Feldricks, who has been in the political arena for decades, inferred from the story and the aftermath, and shuddered slightly.
It’s amazing. Is this a plan you came up with in an instant? No, at least before the arrival of Sprould… It seems like you’ve been planning it since before the disappearance was known, but if it’s a plan from the Giant Forest Labyrinth…
How wide a rough sketch is drawn to predict the political situation?
Dijon = Feldricks, who imagined for a moment, felt dizzy before his eyes.
If you have to assume the movements of Radsea and Heathrond, including Merianol and Youngdo, you should read the movements of important key factors by country. The problem is that there are hundreds of them all together.
‘Did I predict their movements one by one?’
Thinking that he was a person who should never be made an enemy, Dijon Fedrix bowed deeply, hiding his fear of the Holy Emperor.
= I will do as you command. Please leave it to me.=
“Yes. And Limin, I had a hard time recharging the magic method.”
=Yes, yes.=
Li Min, who had never seen his grandfather bend down so deeply, was equally nervous and pressed her against her chest to do the same.
After pouring spiritual energy into these two to repay them in their own way, Li-Min, who believed that he was greatly blessed by the strong energy, started preparing for the spatial teleportation technique, his face flushed red.
=Miss Rimin, I will help you too.=
= Oh, yes. This magic method is a 21st-class acarnolac type ultra-high-distance spatial movement magic method for extremely distinguished guests. There is a list of coordinates of the place to move on this side, and if you convert it to the x37.495673, y126.543460, z37.501482 of the Enorem wavelength, and the secret signal 1q2w3e4r, set the resonance formula…=
Yurpa, suspecting that Rimin and Dijon may be playing nonsense, attaches himself to Rimin and quickly adjusts the setting of the magic method.
Hwanin also noticed that Yurpa was suspicious, but he didn’t stop it.
There’s no reason to stop her from caring about her and saying she’ll check.
While the two were preparing for the magic trick, Hwanin asked Dijon = Feldrix, who was standing next to him.
“By the way, Count Feldricks. Why is Zellfree here?”
= That is…=
Hwanin had returned Jelfrie to the owner immediately after the incident. Because if you have the key material that caused the incident, there is a lot of room for problems.
But the day after Zell-Free was returned, the Magnar family contacted the lord about trouble.
It was a story that the Zelfrey who sent it back had made a completely different person its owner, and none of the people on this side would follow it.
I wonder if I should report it to the lord, but the object Zelfrey made as his owner is the Holy Emperor.
= There… When he came back, he beat the old subordinates and attacked the new captain, knocking him down, but he only cried toward the castle and often tried to escape, and asked for advice on what to do.=
If you just beat up Captain Kue and don’t take the captain’s place, the order in Kue’s barn will be messed up.
However, it is difficult to undermine the status of gel-frees, as evidenced by the fact that they survived alone in the Great Plains of Hierrid for several months, but gel-frees are a superior species among the gray Que.
Prior to that accident, he was an individual who was serving as the captain of the Kue barn.
Another big problem is that the low-ranking Que, who are intimidated by the messy atmosphere, do not want to breed.
For the Magnar family, whose business was to breed Que and raise them for riding, it was like a meteorite rather than fire.
At first glance, I don’t understand how to consult in a situation like this, but when I look inside, I nod my head.
It was the Magnar family’s sentinel who triggered the Sprould crisis by recklessly offering Jell-Free to Hwanin.
Hwanin, who saw the head of the guard and all the soldiers involved with him beheaded, turned off his mind about the Magnar family. If all involved are punished by guilt-by-association, then the Sprould should be erased with cheongyeongju rather than going through the criminal record and holding a trial.
If you think about future plans, you couldn’t do it blindly.
Because of that, if there was a crime, the neck would fall at the trial, and if not, he would survive.
There is nothing more annoying and troublesome than having to pay attention to something that has no nutritional value, and even more annoying. It’s 100 times more efficient to rest in the arms of your girlfriends at that time.
However, this is not the case with the Magnar family.
The Magnar family is being criticized by both nobles and commoners as much as the lord for triggering the Sprould crisis. Considering the future of the family, he must somehow restore his relationship with the Holy Emperor.
The family head of Magnar desperately wanted to interview the Hwanin, raise the prizes and apologize, but the Hwanin did not accept it.
Please do something instead
Cuckoo, Cuckoo.
Kuek?
Kwok. Queet.
Kuek!
Thinking about this dynamic relationship, Hwanin saw Kurti and Jell-Free talking amicably.
When I was walking around in a small size in modern times, somehow I was stuck with Kurti. Although it is the form of Zelfrey courting Kurti, Kurti seems to be secretly enjoying Zelfrey’s virtue, as if he has no intention of rejecting it.
Hwanin looked at the scene for a while and asked Count Feldrix.
“Didn’t you say that no one had been beheaded in the Magnar family since the sentinel?”
=Yes.=
“… I can’t help it.”
Reluctantly, Hwanin took out gold coins from Aspen and tried to pay for Jell-Free, but Count Feldricks first took out two precious-looking subspace pockets and held them out to him.
=One is a donation from the lord’s family to the Holy Emperor with all of the slush funds and private funds of the lord of Multrach Sprould who volunteered. And the other is a donation from the Magnar family to the Holy Priest.=
“…”
When Hwanin poked his eyes at him, asking if this was a bribe and asking for forgiveness, Count Feldricks slightly lowered his head.
=Leaving aside the Magnar family, if having parents who sinned is a sin, the lord’s family members should also be hanged. However, from a human point of view, the lord’s family were good-natured nobles. These are people who don’t commit any crimes, forgive minor mistakes, and maintain a good relationship with attendants.=
Hearing that it was his job to decide, Hwanin took the lord’s donation bag and put it in Aspen without hesitation.
Then, place 100 gold coins on top of the Magnar family donation bag.
=Okay. That’s how I’ll tell the Magnar family.=
Dijon = Feldricks with a pale face lowered his head with a small smile. At that moment, he saw his eyes shining coldly, but Hwanin deliberately pretended not to see.
It’s not his business whether he devours the Magnar family or steals the rights to breed and distribute Que from the Magnar family.
In the process, the position of the Magnar family will be narrowed and their life line will be cut off, but something to know.
Queek~
Kheung.
After waiting for a while while watching Kurti and Jelfrey contend, the huge magic circle that Yurpa and Limin were touching started pouring out pink light.
Ung-ung-gung— Yurpa waved to him in front of the magic circle that let out a heavy, low sound wave that made my body tremble slightly as if it were going to activate at any moment.
= Honey, I’m ready. If you just memorize the starter word, the magic method will be activated. =
Behind her, Rimin is making surprised rabbit eyes. She looks very surprised at her erudition.
Hwanin nodded and led the party to the center of the magic circle, and Dijon = Feldrix and Rimin = Feldrix walked away from the magic circle.
“Have you missed anything?”
=No, Master.=
“What have you forgotten?”
= No Dew and Yul unnie and I checked three or four times.=
Hwanin, who looked at each of his girlfriends and looked at their condition, confirmed that everything was ready and bowed slightly toward Count Feldricks.
Then, Yurpa raises her right hand, concentrating the phase power and linking the wavelength with the magic circle.
As she concentrates her mind and completes the activation key of the magic form with phase power, the phase power gathered in her hand gradually transforms into a blue round three-dimensional magic circle, and along with it, the magic form also emits pink light The amount is gradually increased.
Eventually, when the light intensity of the magic school reached its peak, the entire room was dyed pink.
=Kar thveudamnaer avkas!=
Yurpa briefly spoke three words.
* *
Dig-!
=… Pooh.=
As soon as Hwanin and the others disappeared with a flash of light from the magic court, Dijon = Feldrix sighed as he crouched down without face.
The physical and mental fatigue caused by the presence of the Holy Emperor is greater than two days of all-night paperwork.
Limin, who is in a similar state, also squatted down next to him, haha… He let out a short breath.
= Even though the teacher became small, he still looked huge. No… I think she felt bigger than before she became small. =
= Since you are a person who transcends humanity, you have no choice but to do so. I wonder if the fist of the land god, who is known to have reached the 8th grade wall, came to the castle alone.
Bifron = Ogretooth = Higher Cardinal Nemey is one of the three representatives of the Order of the Land God who can beat Urgur to death with his bare fists.
What does it mean that such a person moved alone?
Li Min, nodding his head slightly, asked his grandfather, thinking about how the Four Great Orders would behave if he conveyed the words the teacher had told him to convey to the cardinals.
=… Grandpa, are you going to stock up on war supplies?=
=What do you think?=
= No matter how much I review the conditions and consider the past war history, I don’t think a general war will happen. It is judged that buying war materials is a shortcut to taking on debt.=
= Correct It’s no longer a typical war pattern. He is the holy priest who will be God’s agent. Since you already have enough strength and capacity to do that, what will happen next will be a one-sided mace raining down on Merianol.
=There are many great heroes and heroes in Merianol, and there are also apostles?=
= How close they can be to those who are bound by politics, family, blood ties, connections, and race. Even that is the story before the 4 major churches entered the war.=
Dision = In Feldrix’s mind, he remembered the area at the beginning of the Daevaston Mountains, where he was dying in darkness, the area that Hwanin Seongjae had appeared as soon as he disappeared.
That must have been the skill Seongje-nim used. Even if there are only a few of them in MeriaNol, it is inevitable that the country will collapse.
Excluding the capital is the realm of apostles and heroes, even if you spread one port in the largest granary, Merianol will dry up like crops in a droughty field in midsummer.
Dijon = Feldricks, who raises his body and straightens his back.
An innocence that cannot be seen in an old man of his age emanates from his body. It was thanks to the spiritual energy given by Hwanin.
=The landslide has already happened. From now on, it’s a question of how to respond appropriately, but even I can’t imagine how many schemes Seongjenim has concocted. If Meriano doesn’t notice this fact, the damage will increase like a mountain.=
What we need to do in this situation is…
Rimin, who woke up together and listened nervously to her grandfather’s next words, was taken aback by the story he heard after a while.
=Curl up and stay still.=
= Grandpa…=
Dijon = Feldricks stroked her head with a kind smile at the grandson’s expression full of doubts as to whether that was really the case.
= There is a typhoon, but there are no sparrows flying. Seizing the opportunity to make money and improve one’s status is only possible when a person is a talented person. Non-standard, out-of-the-world beings are raging and rampaging, but if you stray near them, you’re likely to get struck by lightning. Limin, remember.=
The most important thing in life is to know exactly when to stand up and when to lie down.
At the story of her grandfather’s experience and her own, Li-Min nodded quietly with her hard face.
