Labyrinth Story 747

Chapter 747 – 738 Collado United Cities

=~~~! … !!=

An evil faction-type human who does not scream even though his limbs are severed by Isilite’s sword technique and blood is sprayed in all directions.

‘It’s the first aura I’ve ever seen.’

The concentration is well above level 6, but it is an aura that has never been seen before.

The blood shed is not blue or black, but a normal red color. I thought that the species itself might be different just because it was opposed to the four major races, but surprisingly it doesn’t seem to be that way.

Hwanin approached and tried to unmask the assailant, but tilted his head to the side. At the same time, there was a small puncture sound, and something small and thin like a needle passed by the side of his head.

= Master?! This is!=

Seeing a hole in the mask near the mouth of the assailant, Issilite becomes enraged and tramples the muzzle of the assailant with the heel of her shoe.

=~~!!? ~~!!=

The man’s lower body turned to porridge at the kick and spewed out flesh, sticky blood, and bone fragments, and fluttered again.

Seeing him not groan while struggling in pain, Hwanin made a surprised expression.

Doesn’t it look like you’ve been trained for this kind of situation?

In the history books of Yeongdo, it was written that the Evil Faction was a savage tribe without civilization or culture.

As the Shadowers roll over the puddles of blood that flowed from their bodies, their clothes are soaked in blood and begin to reveal the unique curves of women.

At that time, Ayeong stood in front of Hwanin with a reddened face.

=Brother, wait!=

The shame and anger revealed because he did not know that he would attempt an ambush, and because he could not prevent the ambush in advance.

Ayoung gritted her teeth and grabbed the assailant’s clothes and hood and tore them apart.

The dark uniform was torn and the crude and rough breast fabric was ripped off, leaving the assailant naked in no time.

Text and picture tattoos engraved all over the naked body of a slightly purple gray skin stand out. And dull gray hair, blood-red eyes, and long pointy ears.

As if they had suffered a comminuted fracture below the nose, their lower limbs were crushed and blood and bone fragments were pouring out, but Anne and Ayoung did not care at all and made stern expressions.

= It was also Shadow. Like a filthy corrupter!=

Puck!
Kheuk!

As Ah-yeong’s kicks pierce her side, the woman bends her body and spits thick foam of blood and fragments of her teeth, but her fear is silent, revealing only Won-dok and glaring at her phantom party.

However, her complexion is gradually turning pale, perhaps because she has lost too much blood.

“Ah Young. Treat it once I’m going to die of blood loss like this.”

=Old.=
=… !=

Her illusion is fleeting, but she caught the perplexity, not poison, passing by in the stranger’s gaze toward her.

“… ?”

When she looks at the assailant with her doubts, she is a shadow fish woman who shoots a vicious force as if she had never done that.

However, Hwanin of hers could see that her vitality had significantly decreased compared to before.

‘Immediately after hearing what I said, the reaction changed…’

While walking around Nionebreth for several years, Hwanin learned the Lukrang language of Radsea to the native level.

Of course, she usually speaks Korean, but she only speaks Lukrang in crowded places or places where people of high status gather.

She just spoke in Korean, and the fact that the Shadow Woman reacted like that…

‘The story of knowing Korean.’

= Stay calm! Oh really!=

Bubbuck, wow! Bang!

After being beaten by Ah-yeong for refusing to heal her, Hwan-in looked at the shadow woman for a while and asked Anne and Yu Lepa who glared at her woman with disapproving faces.

“Anne, Yurpa. Are the Evil Factions really a savage race without culture?”

= Huh? Uh, it will depend on what level of culture Doryeong is talking about, but it won’t be completely non-existent. In particular, Shadowers are those who have fallen away from the Fleurs and become corrupted…=

“It means that there might be a culture similar to yours.”

= Yes. Since that was a very long time ago, almost all of the original forms have disappeared.

=The savage he is talking about is probably something like Ohhume, Hob, or Urger. Those on the opposite side of the four races, such as Shadow, Hellplum, and Bardul, must have formed their own culture because of their high intelligence. They are also called the upper race of evil faction. But why are you asking that all of a sudden?=

“There is something that worries me a little. I don’t think it’s important to us, so we’ll talk about that later.”

Well, nothing strange.

Just looking at himself, he appeared in a flooded area close to the border of Evil Faction. It is rather nonsensical to think that there will be no Koreans, dimensional wanderers who have fallen into the domain of Evil Faction.

If it’s a trivial matter, does a person know Hangeul enough to ride an evil gargoyle and raid a city?

‘A fairly smart person must have established his own position within Evil Faction.’

Hwanin continued his thoughts by picking up the torn clothes of the shadow woman who had become rags and scattered with a scale.

The problem is now.

Obviously, I can’t think of any reason other than the assassination of a specific person or the robbery of a specific item to attack Colaido with a small number of elites.

What is the purpose? Assassination? Or extortion? Or both?

Then, I found a blue mineral cut here and there like a jewel submerged in blood.

Earlier, when Ah-yeong tore her clothes, she thought she had seen a glimpse of light, but she was not mistaken.

“… Fantastic, how far did those colleagues go?”

“I’m getting further away as if I didn’t notice the situation here.”

Pick it up carefully with a piece of clothing and check it with your soul’s eye.

‘This… It’s not a magic tool or magic tool.’

As Yurpa produced countless magic tools, they were able to understand the characteristics of magic tools to some extent. For example, using phase power to build up phase power like building a building on an item.

Relics are qualitatively different from those magic tools, and the entire item is filled with energy, not phase power.

A relic… Hwanin is judging.

However, what I picked up now was neither a magic tool nor a relic.

“Yurpa, what do you think this is?”

= Huh? I feel a strange power… Uh, I’ve seen something similar to this before, but when was it… ?=

It must have been a long time ago, but when Yurupa began to search for his memories, Hwanyeon pulled on his collar and called out.

“Hwanin, some of the people who ran out of the city will arrive.”

“…”

That’s fast No time to interrogate that woman.

This, I’m going to get swept away by more troublesome things than I thought.

There is a possibility that that shadow woman who continues to struggle may simply have contact with a wanderer from another dimension, but the level of annoyance that the premonition warns of is far beyond that level.

Doo doo doo…

The sound of several Que galloping makes Hwanin’s brain spin furiously.

And after making a plan based on some predictions, he grabbed the unknown ore with cloth on it, stored it in the aspen, and then exploded a wave of new-style tranquility.

Ripples like golden waves spread wide, and the shadow woman’s head snaps back and her eyeballs disappear over her eyelids.

“Oh, regenerate its limbs. Hurry.”

=Uh, old!=

“Enjoyment. How about, can the spirit read the memory of the earth?”

“… The children of the earth spirits just ran away from the wave, and their memories were blown away.”

“Okay. Yurpa, you didn’t see anything just now. If I ask if you’ve seen anything, whether it’s a nobleman from that city or a person from the Evil Faction, don’t answer, just leave it to me.”

= Huh? Ah, okay.=

The women questioned Hwanin’s sudden behavior, but they kept their mouths shut because they knew that the fact that he acted like that was a sign that something was about to happen.

And then the Que cavalry arrived, who rushed out to pursue the Evil Faction raiders from the city.

=Sir, excuse me. Bump… Perhaps the great pilgrim of Yeongdo, Seongjenim… Are you?=

The Que troopers resolutely followed the order from the superior to pursue the assailant even at the risk of their lives and set out in pursuit.

In recent years, the attacks of Evil Faction have become very shady and blatant.

No, since they were mean and shady from the beginning, raids and surprise attacks were the main method of attack, as befits those living in the dark forest adjacent to the Colaido wilderness.

However, the framework of a frontal attack was not different.

It was the evil faction’s way of attacking from the front, as if it were an assassination attempt ==I will kill you from now on!=.

However, in the last 5-6 years, the attacks of the evil faction have gradually changed and now they are even deploying deception tactics in their diversionary operations. As a result, it is only natural that he would carry out an assassination-like assassination.

This raid also had a diversionary operation, and while a number of middle and upper level monsters attacked the outskirts of the city, shadow assassins infiltrated the city hall and several high-level key personnel were killed.

The upper echelons of the city came to the conclusion that someone was studying tactical theory with the evil factions in the dark forest, but they didn’t know who it was until recently.

However, now that Merianol was thrown into extreme chaos due to the Holy Resurrection and the entire Nionebres continent was suffering from measles due to an incident involving the entire continent, most of the upper class people from the military were vaguely aware of why the evil faction had changed like this.

‘I’m a dimension wanderer.’
‘The country must have forcibly summoned a dimensional wanderer and then paid for it.’
‘There must have been a dimensional wanderer with military knowledge in the hands of the Evil Faction.’

The Que Cavalry, the city’s knight-level force, also heard and knew about it, but now, in front of them, the Holy Emperor, who had a presence that was hard to even see, was radiating cold air.

Of course you can’t help but be nervous. They recognized the Dimensional Wanderers as a clan united under one nation.

“That’s right. Are you all the knights of Collado?”

=Yes, yes. There… I am Maxia Erof, the 3rd Division Commander of the 1st Cavalry Corps in the Colaido United City, in charge of the pursuit of the Evil Faction strains captured by the Holy Emperor.

Fleur, a woman in her sandy hair and slightly yellowish skin, took off a cavalry helmet resembling a Valkyrie Helm, put it around her side, and saluted her.

And she opened her mouth with a timid and intimidated look.

= I, over there. Our city has no affiliation with the Passage royal family or secret societies, and is governed by upright councilors elected by the citizens.=

“… ?”

=That, it’s a city made up mainly of the Desert Fleurs and Desert Prouds, so there are many other races living there too… So, writing and wiping out the city…=

Hwanin raised his eyebrows at the story of the female knight.

It was because she noticed how the image of herself in Fleur, the woman in front of her, had been formed.

It’s the truth. Anyway, what spreads widely is malicious rumors that have been distorted and stimulating in this way.

“Sir Eroff. I swear, zero people in Sprould have ended their lives at the hands of me and my spirit knights.”

=… Yes?=

“And even those who died were limited to criminals who had committed serious crimes in order to give a fair trial in front of the innate ability of the Fleurs, and even that was punished according to the severity, but I will affirm that I have never killed an innocent person indiscriminately. “

=… Shi, excuse me! Sorry!! That, I didn’t mean that!

Maximia, realizing too late how her words had been interpreted, nodded her back with her pale face.

She thought it wouldn’t be nice, but she’d be known as a serial indiscriminate killer. And to believe that, what do they think about the history of the soul?

“Anyway… Did you say you came to pursue this evil faction race?”

=Yes!!=

“All right. I will hand over the recruits.”

Even if you say interrogation, you will only hear the story of a dimensional wanderer that has nothing to do with what you will do in the future. Since there is nothing to regret, I hand over the shadow woman to them obediently.

= Go, thank you…=

Trembling, flinching. The troopers, looking at Hwanin’s notice, approached closely and searched the body and hole of the shadow woman who had passed out and tied it up after tying it up.

Another cavalryman retrieves the body of the fallen evil gargoyle, and another cavalryman puts the clothes and blood-stained soil of the Shadow tribe that Ayeong tore apart in his pocket.

After tidying her up like that, Maxia took a small deep breath and approached Hwanin and opened her mouth.

=Hyeop… Thank you for your cooperation. If it wasn’t for Seongjenim, this guy’s pursuit would have failed with a high probability. If you go back and report to the city council… There will be rewards and rewards for Seongjae, so what should I do… ?=

“I plan to stay in Colaido for a day or two. Can you tell me if there is a place to stay?”

=Yes?! Oh no! When you go to the city, there is a mansion prepared to receive distinguished guests, so there… !=

“I didn’t come here to give great help to Colaido, so how can I recklessly use a facility where the blood tax of Colaido citizens is melted, as a dead soul?”

No, if you have the Holy Emperor status, you can use it enough…

Maxia moaned like a fretful puppy.

Following the will of Seongje, she went back and told the cavalry commander, ‘Seongje has come, will you guide me to such a place?! I’m out of my mind!’ Break?

… No, if you think about it, it would be more comfortable to have your shin cut by the captain a few times. And if the captain knows the situation, he’ll know he can’t help it!

=Yes, in that case, I will guide you to the hotel.=

“Thank you for your consideration.”

As Hwanin climbs on Norn’s back, the women and horsemen also board their mounts and depart for the city.

In the meantime, Anne received the signal from her Hwanin’s eyes and approached Maxia = Erope, demonstrating her unique affinity, and she began to dig up information about what was happening in the city.

=You mean the evil faction started moving so intelligently?=

=Yes. As a result, the city’s defense system is becoming more systematic and robust, but it is not a good thing because sacrifices and damages are inevitable.=

Maxia’s alertness is lifted in an instant and she talks about everything she knows.

=You have a lot of trouble.=

= It’s like the fate of a city close to the border of evil faction. And if we don’t, who will?=

=Hey, he’s the vice principal of the article. But do raids like this happen often? I just arrived and I was surprised to see fires and explosions in the city.=

=That’s… It’s the first time I’m serious like today. I am concerned that the situation may change rapidly from today…=

=Certainly, if the city’s infrastructure is attacked with pinpoints, a sense of crisis will overwhelm… If it’s the city hall, there must be a lot of very important documents and things like that.=

=That’s why I believe that the shadow fish captured by Emperor Seongje and Sir Anne will be of great help in turning the situation around. I’ve never captured a single high-ranking evil faction race before. Gather information at all costs… Um.=

= It’s okay. Because our Seongjenim is awake.=

=That’s right?=

= Yes. So, can you guess why they attacked City Hall? Since Yeongdo Island is also bordered by the Northern Evil Faction, I would like to know that Colaido’s work does not feel like South Korea’s work.

= Ah… Certainly, the location of Zero Island is similar to that of Colido. But…=

Maxia glanced at the phantom following behind her on a very elegant green Que.

Seongjae, a dimensional wanderer. And the Spirit Knight, the escort of such a Holy Emperor.

How can I say in front of the spirit knight that the dimensional wanderer seems to be the culprit behind this incident. Maxia just laughs awkwardly.

=We also question that.=

“…”

Hwanin listened attentively to Maxia’s story, but there was nothing that could be useful information.

The Desert Fleurs are also Fleurs, so they can’t lie, and Maxia’s attitude doesn’t show any intention of deceiving them.

However, there seems to be a suspicion that the dimensional wanderer has something to do with the current series of events in which he is conscious of himself.

That’s it. Without further instructions, literally, the cavalry who just jumped out at the order to pursue the Shadow Clan, or he showed no interest in the belongings of the Shadow Clan woman.

Hwanin maintained the hypothesis that the ore he had secured could have come from the City Hall, and silently followed Maxia.

= This is it. This is the biggest and best hotel in Collado. Look, is there a manager inside? … Do you have? Then call me soon Because a great nobleman has come.=

The hotel that arrived across Colado, which had the feeling of a neat and tidy Arab city, was a five-story, high-end hotel with desert-style, sand-colored exterior walls.

It looks like it would be easy to accept even if you are in the United Arab Emirates, and there is even a large, sparkling blue swimming pool at the back.

In addition, there were large and small high-end long-established stores on the left and right of the pool, and trees similar to palm trees were planted here and there, giving off a refreshing yet hot feeling of a southern city.

The feeling of a luxurious high-class hotel seems to be emphasized even more as the scenery of the wilderness that can be seen over the low fence harmonizes with these hotel facilities.

=Wow, this is more amazing than the famous tourist town Prabur…=

= If it is a high-end facility like this, the maintenance cost will not be negligible, so how do you maintain it? Are tourists coming all the way here?=

=Yes. Collido is a relay station where nobles and nobles from each country leave or visit through space teleportation techniques. Although the number of customers has decreased a little due to the rampage of Evil Faction over the past few years…=

The current space teleportation technique cannot fly to the other side of the continent at once.

For safety’s sake, they move in three or four times, but in the case of ordinary people, they need to rest for three or three days after moving between spaces, so nobles use this hotel at that time.

=Master, check-in is complete.=

The position of being the commander of the 3rd division of the 1st Cavalry Corps in the city was more than Hwanin thought.

As soon as she came and called her manager, the manager, a Proud tribe who could only see her as a beautiful girl, ran out and greeted her group of ghosts.

Seeing that Isilite, who had entered with the female manager, had returned, Hwanin shook hands with Maximiaerov.

“Thank you for guiding me this far. She will be leaving after staying for about two days, so if you have business in the meantime, please leave a message at the hotel.”

=Yes, old!=

Turning around, Hwan-in hears Maxia’s conversation with the woman’s wife in a low voice.

=Hey, it’s Seongjenim’s group. Know? Return the accommodation fee to the city council…=
=Maxia-sama, the spirit knight paid for the lodging right away…=
=… Oh no. What if I get it… !=
= You don’t want to check in if you don’t accept it, what should I do… !=
= It’s stupid… ! Isn’t there a preferential treatment policy for the spirit master? I had to cover it somehow… !=
= I told you, but… !=

Hwanin ignores the other side and looks around the luxurious hotel lobby.

People who seem to be aristocrats and nobles sitting in a lounge or something like a resting place look at Hwanin and his party out of curiosity, and turn their heads in amazement as soon as their eyes meet.

What?!
Wow… !?

A little commotion and shouting was heard outside, and the humanized Norn put on a hooded robe and the Dodo also ran and clung to Hwanin’s waist.

「Hwanin. Are you resting here today?”

“Okay.”

“Wow. Can I take a look here?”

Norn looked around the inside of the hotel and begged Hwan-in, as if he were curious about one of the most luxurious facilities he had visited so far.

“Norn, how did she say you should behave when you’re with people other than your group?”

“I told you not to be a nuisance.”

“Okay. Unless the other side offends you first, keep calm and watch. Imorell, stay with Norn.”

=Yes. Sungjae.=

Hwanin attached Immorel to Norn, who showed her curiosity, and took the mechanical elevator with the women to the fifth floor room.
