Chapter 730 – 722 Hebült, a City Dedicated to the Sea God
Hwanin, who received a request from Kuklin to assassinate the condemned faction, stared at the round, harmless lizard-like ivory Sabi with nonchalant eyes.
His eyes widened slightly enough to make him wonder if he was suffering from mental illness.
He is smiling, but his mouth feels uncomfortable and his expression is mild.
Looking at him, he wonders if he would have been like that in the past, and wondered if the girlfriends he dated in modern times would have felt this way when they saw him.
The three discordant expressions are mixed together, so no matter how good you try to look at it, it doesn’t feel like normal.
“…”
Afterwards, Hwanin let out a sigh and asked.
“There are many things I want to bet on, but I’ll cover it up for now and ask. Do you have any predictions about the action between the factions after the assassination and the repercussions that will spread from the time the assassination takes place?”
=With the eyes of the watcher, I have grasped all the grudges of the assassination target. It would be difficult to assassinate all 194 people because it would be unnatural, but if you take advantage of accidental deaths and honor duels, you can kill about 40 people. Even so, there are more than 71 cooperating factions, but the movement of the condemning faction will be atrophied, so I think it will be quite helpful for Seongjenim’s activities.=
When I asked with his eyes, “Is that all?”, Kuklin nodded and said, “That’s all.”
Hwanin just pointed out that Kuchlin’s story was sincere and criticized it.
“It is a pitiful idea mixed with short-sighted optimism in a clumsy, foolish plan.”
=Yes… ?=
“If the heads of your chiefs and advisers of the Sabi tribe are as intelligent as the heads of crucian carp, that plan will be very effective. If the relationship is so bad that they can’t eat each other and fret, it’s probably not a bad plan.”
No matter how prevalent honor duels among the Xabi people are, and even if the duel that has been pushed back since the Savior’s fangs have not been active for nearly half a year is being pushed forward, such an assassination is unnatural.
It’s not like there’s a hole in the brain, but if only certain people from a certain faction are assassinated, of course there will be a background investigation, and the actions of the Savior’s fangs will soon be exposed.
It’s not a bloody battle between ordinary people and ordinary people, but if something like this happened to those with a higher status, a full-scale investigation would be initiated.
Even though the number of Sabi is small, there are jobs that command the souls of beasts similar to spirits, and jobs that read the thoughts of things like psychometry are few but exist.
If you kill just three or four people, your awareness will reach its peak, but you’ll kill forty people? It’s something you can’t go unnoticed about.
Hwanin sighed and asked with annoyance and annoyance.
“I ask. Who in the group knows more about these actions of you and the Savior.”
=… Five of the eight Command Spells know about it. It’s not accurate, but I’m sure you feel that you had some kind of conversation with Seongje.
To the Savior’s answer, Hwanin replied, “In that case.” And connected his words with a bloody aura.
“The Commander-in-Chief could pass information on to the Condemn faction to get you and that stupid bitch off your seat.”
=…=
“There is no meaning to physical evidence when the head is hot.”
If the fact that he and them had a honeymoon like this is known through investigation, the upper classes of Beltical will grit their teeth and try to argue with himself and Youngdo.
“Aren’t you thinking about what will happen after that? From my point of view, I have a strong suspicion that you guys are deliberately trying to connect the clues of the incident to Yeongdo Island and have an affair with the upper echelons of the Sabians.”
The fact that the advisor, Kuklin, and the Savior were not in a good position within the Savior’s fangs was confirmed beyond analogy by the actions of the assassin who had come during the day.
If he had excellent control over the organization, he would have sent a reliable subordinate to do his will instead of wandering around like this.
= Oops. Such intention… !=
A traditionally excellent leader, the Suban, does not move recklessly even if he is concerned about the butterfly effect his actions will cause.
Just as the Queen of Radsea Castle gave her command, the Regent of Heath Lond moved the Duke of Aduri, and the former King of Merianol, his father-in-law, Grappaden, came to find himself only after he abdicated his throne.
Even if that wasn’t the case, when Karax’s assassin tried to assassinate him, he sent Ayeong, who was the second molar of her current molar, and only one person to assist her.
This is normal. Even the assassins of Karax, with whom they have close ties like family, are thinking about the future and the future, what kind of bullshit are these guys talking about.
When the venomous fangs of the Savior, who seem to have poor organizational skills, start assassinating the chiefs of tribes, warriors, and priests in the upper ranks of Beltical, there is no doubt that a person who opposes them will appear within the organization.
The possibility of passing information on to a censuring faction frantic to find the culprit behind bringing down the Savior and putting himself in the position of Supreme Commander would take a sharp upward turn.
Even if you blow their heads off with the magic of return, it will be too late by then. Because the belief that he assassinated them by moving the Savior’s fangs will turn into physical evidence through the corpse.
As a result, the cause of this side is soiled and legitimacy is damaged.
‘Is it the holy order to order an assassination? This is heresy!!’
… I said.
The center of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, which drives Merianol, will be shaken sharply, and they may doubt the integrity of Yeongdo, and in addition, they may place responsibility for Adnevila’s downfall by acting recklessly.
There is a 100% chance that the current ongoing submersion of Merianol will be caught up through the fault of himself and Youngdo. It is a bonus that the reputation of Yeongdo, which was built through thousands of years of sexual misfortune and self-sacrifice of soul masters, will fall to the ground.
From then on, only real death and killing killings remain. The ending that she wants to avoid as much as possible comes to her.
Hwanin took off her hood, opened her spirit eyes, and raised her voice as she sprinkled life.
“If it becomes known that I am behind your assassination, this side’s cause will be tainted and we will be in danger of being counterattacked by Merianol. But you’re going to assassinate the upper echelons of the Condemn faction without any future arrangements? Tell me What do you mean? Are you plotting a fight between me and the upper class of the Xavi tribe?”
At his death, the savior stunned and only moved his shoulders back half a step, but Kuklin staggered with a short moan and fell to his knees.
In that state, Kuklin raised his head and raised his arms toward Hwanin as if begging for mercy and said,
= Mr. Seongje. The reason why Beltical is not recognized as a nation by Radsea, Merianol, and Heathrond is that it is like a moth that jumps on a torch due to its stubborn pride. Honor is more important than life, and cause is more important than clan. How to have a conversation when you have time… If you manipulate a little information, the tribal chiefs of the condemnation faction will only try to wage a bloody struggle with the cooperative faction, but will not turn their eyes to the outside…=
“It seems to me that you are also obsessed with vengeance, using your position as an advisor to the Savior to reveal your resentment toward the upper echelon of Beltical in a mysterious outburst of emotion.”
At Hwanin’s point of interruption and entry, Kuchlin’s expression hardened as if he was paralyzed, and Kuju also looked at the back of Kuklin’s head and swept his face one after another in a very complicated state of mind.
“I guess the Savior has some guesses.”
=… The advisor is a candidate for shaman priesthood. To make it easy for Seongje to understand, he could be said to be a preliminary high-ranking spirit master from a ducal family. =
=…=
Kuklin puts his hands down with a doll-like expression and is mesmerized as if he is staring blankly into the distance.
Seeing that, the women glared at Kuklin with her astonished face.
According to Hwanin, it means that he was using him to get revenge on the high-ranking members of Beltical.
Kuklin, who had been immersed for a short while, laughed unexpectedly.
= I see. When I wondered where this sometimes unknown emotion comes from, was it the feeling of revenge? It’s true, I’m ashamed to say I’m no different from those authors.=
= Hey, what is that…=
So stunned, Anne reflexively lowered her fangs and bit her mouth shut. ‘Cause he’s talking and interrupting only complicates the situation.
Hwanin looked at Kuklin with eyes as if the north wind was about to blow and called Yurpa.
“Yurupa, can’t you apply a restriction that is one level higher than the occult attribution?”
= There is Give him a keyword, and if he violates that keyword, his head explodes and he dies. You can call it an oath of obedience.=
“Good. Kuklin, accept the treatment of that secret art. Because you might need a dog leash.”
Kuklin smiled and replied.
=I think so too.=
While Yurpa was performing some kind of esoteric treatment on Kuklin, who had passed out after being fed the soul saving potion made by Ayoung, Hwanin gave an order to Guju.
“Kill all eight Command Spells.”
=… It’s close to impossible. The eight Command Spells are the eight pillars that support the Savior’s poisonous teeth, and the vigilant…=
“It looks like I’m inviting you.”
=…=
“And you are mistaken. It’s not for me, it’s for you.”
=… What?=
“You are strong in martial arts, but your intellect and political power are poor. Even within the organization, he must be pointed at and despised as a puppet of Kuklin. Am I wrong?”
The Saviour’s unconvinced story gave the Savior goosebumps.
How did you know that?
“Kuklin is crazy. In such a state, holding the ability of the beholder’s eyes, the command lords must have felt as if a dagger had been thrust under their necks. If they had the chance, they would be eager to get rid of it.”
=…=
“A dog whose hunting season is over is just boiled in a pot. I don’t think I’m stupid enough to ask who the hound is here.”
The Savior’s eyes closed tight.
Nasaratra hunted game. The prey, Karax, left the hunting grounds. He is the only one left in the area.
= I can’t… So you’re saying that this is where the internal strife begins?=
“If it’s just an internal faction fight, there won’t be any problems. Your power seems to be out of the stage of assassination, and since you have the Eye of the Beholder, threats will not work. Here is the problem Are the Command Lords aware of that fact or not?”
=… You know.=
“What means should I use to defeat an opponent who cannot be defeated by just fighting?”
=… … Are you saying you’re going to bring in another organization from outside?=
Hwanin, who waited with patience for the conclusion he came to after thinking for a long time, gave him a choice instead of an answer.
“You have two options left. One is to wipe out all the Command Spells and prove their usefulness to me, completely controlling the Savior’s Poison Fang. The other is to die together in the gap when I wipe out the command shards after I regain my original form.”
The Savior’s expression turned grim as he added a little, “Maybe I’ll be eliminated by the Spirit Lords before I die at my own hands.”
It is the Holy Emperor who saw through the mind and inner world that even the advisor himself did not notice, only twice, in a conversation that did not last long, and even saw through the dissatisfaction of the commanding lords.
If we continue like this, the future of being killed by the Command Lords will surely come.
The Savior looked at Hwanin who was sitting on a small rock.
The figure of a five-year-old child bathed in blue moonlight. A deep sense of boredom and annoyance that did not suit him. And buried alive.
I swallowed my saliva.
It doesn’t even feel like he’s trying to use them. Rather, I can feel the chills from the expressionless expression and emotionless voice that he wants to dismantle the poisonous teeth of the Savior after burying himself and Kuchlin here.
The Savior muttered as she looked at Kuklin, who was undergoing the subjugation procedure.
=The Savior’s fangs may end in my generation…=
Then, he got down on one knee in front of Hwanin and begged for mercy.
= I will follow the instructions of the Holy Emperor. I’ll get my hands on the fangs of the Savior and show you perfect control, so please… Please save the organization’s life.=
“Whether you remove all the Command Spells or not, don’t appear in front of me again. If even one of you, Kuklin, or a member of the Savior’s Fangtooth organization appears in front of me, I will consider it as a wish to die, and I will pursue it to the ends of hell and erase them all from the world. Similarly, if Kuchlin dies, think of the Savior’s fangs disappearing at that moment.”
= Said… I’ll keep in mind.=
=Doryeong, the procedure is over.=
= Ahaha. It’s a strange feeling. It seems to be floating around.=
Cucklin, who stumbles along like a drunk with her girlfriends, giggles like a drunkard.
Hwanin, who stared at the madness for a while, asked Yurupa.
“How can I put restrictions on it?”
=You have to activate the device with a secret technique. Wait for a sec…=
= Oh? Ahhh? Oh? Oh?=
As Yurpa radiates rainbow light from both hands, Kuklin’s gray eyes radiate the same iridescent light and flinch as if starting a game.
= Yes, that’s okay. Now you can say it.=
Hwanin, who read the situation for a while with the eyes of the soul, said.
“First, I forbid any threatening behavior towards me and anyone with whom I have perceived friendly relations.”
=Seo, threatening acts against those who have a friendly relationship with Seo Seongje are prohibited.=
“Two, among the information obtained so far and information to be obtained in the future, all information related to me is discarded, and disclosure, announcement, and recording are prohibited forever.”
= That’s prohibited. Forbidden… !=
“Third, be prepared to destroy at any time in case something that violates the above acts occurs. Fourth, as long as it does not conflict with the above three items, fully cooperate with the Savior.”
= Howeol, Gu! Tongue, chin, cooperation, jojo clothes… !=
When the four items came out, blood began to flow from Kuchlin’s eyes, and blood flowed from his nose, staining the ivory scales.
Yurpa, who was watching Kuklin stiffen and convulsing as if he was suffering from ailments, and adjusting the rainbow colors of his hands, warned the illusionist.
=Baby, if I add more items, I think my brain will break. Become a dead person.=
“All right. That should be enough. If I’m halfway intelligent like Kuklin, I’ll be eaten by my accident. And.”
= Shut up…=
When Yurpa quits the secret arts, Kuklin collapses like a marionette with a thread cut off and spreads like a jellyfish out of the water.
Hwanin looked at Anne and Ayoung, who laid Kuklin down and healed them, and gave a final warning to the Savior.
“Savior, the condition of you and Kuklin is always being communicated to us. Always keep that in mind and act.”
The Savior lowered her head with a blurred expression at the bloody warning that if the situation was abnormal, she would immediately blow her throat.
Even if it was unconscious, I tried to take advantage of the fisherman’s geography using him and Yeongdo. If they hadn’t been caught, they wouldn’t have known, but their intentions were completely discovered. It’s a good thing that it wasn’t buried right away.
=I will.=
The Savior bowed His head, signifying submission.
Hwan-in, who sent off the Savior carrying Kukulin, who had been stretched out due to the aftermath of the occult obedience procedure, called A-yeong as the soul attached to them returned.
=Did you call?=
“There were also Xavi among the white wolves. Send them to Beltical to keep a close eye on the movements of the cooperative factions.”
= Uh… Aren’t you a condemnation faction?=
“If it’s Kuklin, I’ll go back and use the material to entice the Command Spell, inducing a dispute between the Condemn faction and the Cooperative faction. With that, I’ll deal with about three command lords, and with the rest pretending to investigate those cases, I’ll seduce the rest of the command lords as well. Watch and after all of the Command Spells are dead, deal with the Savior and Kukulin. Elmine would have been collaborating with the poisonous teeth of the Savior and collecting information and data, so follow-up would be easy.”
At Hwanin’s instruction, Ayeong opened her eyes a little wide and asked in bewilderment.
=Brother, you said that if the Savior dominates the organization, he will save you. It’s not okay for someone who’s the size of an older brother to tell lies…=
=Ayoung is right, master. Please remember that Adnevila can’t lie.=
=You have passed the test of the God of Mercy. Then the level of existence would have surpassed transcendence, but if you lie, in the worst case, your growth might be blocked.
Not only beings such as divine beasts and apostles, but also ordinary people like me are subject to such restrictions…
Concerned by his girlfriends, Hwanin briefly reviewed the feasibility.
‘Considering the strength of existence, it wouldn’t be strange if there were restrictions other than those.’
It is a world in which a lofty being like a divine beast harms one’s spirituality just by uttering lies. There is also a Fleuran race that suffers greatly emotionally and physically from lying.
Up until this point, she hadn’t fooled anyone with lies, but she thought she’d better be more careful in the future, and asked her concerned girlfriends.
“When did I say that I would spare them both?”
= Yes? Saying that she has two options left, she first wipes out all of her Command Spells, buys her brother’s trust, and completely dominates the Savior’s fangs… Eh!?=
Ah-yeong, who had been talking, finally noticed her strangeness and opened her eyes wide. How about Yurpa, White Ryogang, and Anne? She does, and then she runs her arm down like a crush.
Right. She told the savior to rule, not spare him.
In addition, she ordered to destroy all data related to her. Doesn’t that include Kuju and Kuklin if you expand it?
Most of all, Kuklin would implement the extinction, but that…
Lastly, if Kuju and Kuchlin die and disappear, everything related to her brother will disappear, and the Savior will protect only one organization that wants to be saved…
Hwanin got up from a small rock and brushed his butt.
“Kuklin was in a faint state and did not hear what I said to the Savior. I can’t figure out the inside story. If you think of the Savior’s intelligence, she will create an illusion in her head that she will ‘save’ herself like you, so even if a story related to this comes out in the future, Kuklin won’t notice anything strange. Even if you notice…”
= There must be no way because it is caught in the secret art of obedience…=
= He, the advisor? Since there is an observer’s eye, won’t the strategy be discovered?=
Anne pointed out the situation, but the treatment for him was already over.
“Because of the prohibition of threatening behavior in the section on keeping secrets about me and us, the eyes of the observer cannot detect the white wolves. Kuklin knows that the white wolves are my private organization, and seeing them through the eyes of a watcher itself is a violation of information gathering.”
=… !=
“No matter how coincidental you find out, since you gave orders to the Savior to cooperate, you must fully cooperate with the Savior in defeating the Command Sphere. The results do not change.”
In the worst case, if all of this goes awry and the plan fails, Yurpa’s manipulation will rip the two heads apart, and the white wolves will collect all the Command Spells with the location information data.
Ayoung and the other women felt goosebumps run down her spine.
She thought that as she became a little child she became kinder and better-natured, but she also said that her brother was her brother.
When necessary, she shows her cruel side without filtering.
Hwanin gave a last note.
“Looking at it through the eyes of a new-style soul, the Savior is particularly vulnerable to lightning and curses, but has a strong resistance to poison and other properties. So, a couple of top-class assassins with two elements, Lightning and Curse, should be able to take care of the Savior. Tell Elmine.”
=Yes, it’s okay.=
Ayoung swallowed her saliva and nodded her head eagerly.
‘As expected, kneeling down on my brother at that time was the correct answer.’
Shouldn’t it really be luck? He and Karax’s Assassins did worse than the Savior’s fangs, and in the end, it could be said that they did well.
She herself became her brother’s woman, and Karax’s assassins changed their name to the white wolves and successfully made their longed-for entry into the sun.
She thought that if she had taken a wrong step, if the priorities of Kuju and Karax had been reversed, she would have become the equivalent of Kuju and Kuklin. I felt my instincts roar.
Oh, if it strikes you tonight… Can’t it? My sex drive is very hot.
* *
= Ah haha! Savior, it’s my fault. I made a complete mistake.=
= Ha…=
As soon as she came to her senses, Kuklin burst into laughter, and the Savior held her forehead as if it was a headache.
Regardless of his condition, Kuklin kept talking and saying that he really admired him.
=Uhh~ I never thought Seongje-nim would see through the resentment I hadn’t noticed. When you provide one piece of information, the head that grasps all the circumstances that follow from there is really beyond imagination. After all, that should be enough to pass God’s trials, right? It is a test of God that even the Archbishops and Popes cannot challenge or fail even if they try.=
= It’s like touching the murder hive, but it’s a relief that it ended like this. There is a lot to do. I have to come up with a plan, so I hurry back to Googol-dong.
The savior, who hardened her expression, hurried her land lizard and tried to run, but she did not follow and because of her kuklin, who only stared at the back of her land lizard, came back and called her.
=Kuklin?=
= Lord. Why don’t we just run away?=
… ? What’s going on with that Kuklin talking about running away? Were you even scared of Seongje?
While the Savior is puzzled, Kuklin laughs and continues.
=It’s the poisonous teeth of the Savior, and it’s just living comfortably deep in the thick jungle.=
= It’s an attractive story, but it’s not feasible now. Above all, do you think that if we run away, Emperor Seongje will leave it alone?=
=Well, after cleaning up and running away, if I offer my life to the Holy Priest while praying for forgiveness… I think the savior will save you?=
At Kuklin who shrugged his shoulders, the Savior hardened his face and sighed.
= Bullshit. You and I are a community of destiny. When I die, you die, and when you die, I die too. That must have been a promise.=
= Uhh~. That’s right. I bet it is. Ok, let’s go back.=
=Follow me.=
Kuklin, who hurriedly followed the lead of the Savior, looked up at the pouring moonlight and smiled fleetingly.
Beyond the entrance of the jungle, as if a black monster had opened its mouth, it looked like their own dark future.
