Chapter 752 – 743 Collado United Cities
* *
Male voice
The Erof family is at the top of the prominent congressional families in Colaido. At the urgent call of the current head and senator, Aran, members of the upper and lower houses rush into the parliament building without rest.
Members who are professionals are on their own, and those who are unemployed are supported by professional escorts.
The lawmakers who came in with their hair straightened by the wind took their seats and chatted with fellow lawmakers.
=Isn’t it the first time in 10 years that an emergency convocation of former lawmakers is held?=
= Exactly 11 years. =
=Anyway, do you have any idea what the convocation was for?=
=… Isn’t it natural because of the pillar of light rising from the west of the city?=
The eyes of the two congressmen turn to the window facing southwest.
The gigantic and sacred pillar of light that fills the long rectangular glass window has not disappeared even though it has been 10 minutes since it soared.
While the two lawmakers were distracted by the holy pillar of light that was not blasphemous or threatening, but rather seemed to be supported by God, the empty seats in the parliament were filled one after another, and 90 percent of the lawmakers completed their attendance even before 10 minutes of the convocation declaration.
=The mayor enters!=
A booming voice resounded in the spacious hall decorated to resemble a modern parliamentary hall, and a finely aged Fleur tribe woman entered the hall with a cane.
When an old man with unrecognizable white hair neatly tied back and a green shawl covering his shoulders entered, all the members of the standing assembly rose from their seats.
Across the quiet parliament building, the mayor climbed up to the mayor’s seat on the left side of the chairperson’s seat, revealing a slightly strict expression, looking up at Aran = Erof in the chairperson’s seat one step higher and asking.
= Chairman Aran Erof. No one arrives later than this nogu, so let’s start an emergency council.=
=Yes, Mayor Luxemd.=
Aran = Erof’s gaze briefly moved to the empty seat of Senator Muros, then returned to the mayor who opened his mouth again.
= There are no idle people in this place. Everyone gave up their busy livelihoods and responded to the summons, so there must be a good reason.=
=Of course.=
After answering “Of course”, A loud murmur rang through the hall wider than the main auditorium.
Ground.
Aran = When Erof tapped the chair twice, the noise immediately disappeared, and Aran, seeing that the eyes were focused on him, opened his mouth with a heavy complexion.
=Collido is now facing an unprecedented crisis. The pillar of light currently visible through the western window is the Spirit Spell, and it is the miracle of purification carried out by the Hwanin Seongje who came from Yeongdo yesterday.=
Seongjae?
If it is Hwanin Seongje, he is the one who set up a confrontation with Passage…
Why is he here… ?
If it is a soul spirit wine, it is a high-level spirit art that can be unfolded only when at least three spiritualities are gathered.
It’s a bit surprising that Seongje did it alone, but according to rumors, it’s not strange. But why is it here?
At the eyes of the lawmakers who were full of questions, Aran=Erof continued the story with his face still unresolved.
=You all know better than anyone else that the Evil Faction has been carrying out insidious raids since 5 years ago. For that reason, it has come to reality that there is a dimensional wanderer Kang Hyuk-jun who left the city 5 years ago.=
=Why did you make that decision?=
In response to a question from a member of the House of Representatives, Aran-Erof, as a representative of the city council, mentioned the behavior he showed in conversations with Seongje this morning and afternoon.
= Hwanin Seongjae’s interest in Kang Hyeokjun’s couple, strong displeasure after the first sexual misfortune, followed by confirmation of the city’s history and information on citizens who died in the air raids of the Evil Faction over the past five years, and later up to the towering honryeongju. This sequence of actions means that a great ordeal has come to the city.=
=But I feel that it is not enough to say that it is an unprecedented crisis.=
At the remarks of another member of the House of Representatives who raised his hand, Aran=Erof focused on their astonishment with a face full of concern.
= Hwanin Seongje directly said this. The reason why collido may disappear is that I will tell you directly from this place.=
=… !?=
=… !=
=Above all, Hwanin Seongje, who has clearly risen to the throne, is looking suspiciously at whether the tragedy that happened to Kang Hyuk-joon’s dimension wanderer couple is related to us, the city council.=
=… Huh?!=
= That, it is… !=
=Didn’t everything that happened to the couple turn out to be a coincidence?!=
A noise close to a clamor erupted from members of over 50 different races.
Aran=Erof hit the chairperson’s baton again to block out their voices.
= That’s right. At the time, we conducted four rounds of investigations with eminent spiritists. But what if we missed something? … What if there was a part that I hadn’t noticed before, and that part was obtained by the Hwanin Seongjae?=
=…=
=…=
=…=
All the eyes of the lawmakers are directed to the west window.
A gigantic pillar of light that continues to scatter light along with light waves. A sense of danger began to fill the minds of the members of the council at the holy pillar of divinity that could be seen even on the horizon.
= That… This is a story I heard from a Saby merchant with whom I am close…=
The eyes of the lawmakers who were looking out the window turned to the pangolin human Lukrang, the head of the commercial cooperative and a senator.
=It is said that blood is blowing in Hebült, the capital of Beltical. A famous shaman priest family insulted the Holy Emperor and was destroyed, and the four major institutions are also undergoing internal reorganization. The reason is that the great spirit of the Holy Emperor… To make all the water spirits in the city retreat…=
… You made all the water spirits in the city retreat? Then it is said that the water in that land is not further purified and only rots, but is that possible?
No… It’s possible, so all four major churches are pressuring Passage on behalf of the Holy Emperor…
Unexpectedly, dark rumors make the atmosphere in the Congress Party droop like water-soaked cotton.
Aran = Erof glared at the senator who destroyed the atmosphere with useless words, and raised his voice.
= So! Before Hwanin Seongjae arrives at the Congress Hall, something, the information or facts contained inside… If you have any doubts, please let me know. It’s not an individual’s issue now, it’s a city’s reputation issue. I swear on the name of the Erof family…=
“I swear, what do you mean?”
Quaang—!
With a voice that seemed to tighten the soul, the large door of the Congress Hall opened wide with a roar, and an all-black man wearing dozens of layers of golden aurora strode into the Congress Hall.
Then, a strong presence began to fill the hall of the Congress Hall to the point where it felt cramped.
=… Hiccup.=
Aran=Erof swallowed a hiccup at the man’s golden gaze that flashed like the anticipation of a new sword.
* *
An unidentified man rudely opened the stone door and entered, but the lawmakers who filled the assembly hall were speechless.
A man who was brilliant and won a seat in the House of Representatives by taking an executive position in the union.
She is ignorant, but her dexterity and skill are extraordinary. She is also a woman who could have won a seat in the House of Representatives.
A lawmaker with excellent military skills or excellent skills, or a lawmaker with abundant knowledge or keen eyesight.
No one pointed out the man’s rude behavior.
It was because there was not a single person in the Congress Hall who did not know that that man was the most famous person in Nionebreth, the Holy Emperor.
Even if he did not know, he would not have been able to open his mouth at the openly revealing presence of Ashinwi.
Most lawmakers said, ‘Seongje… Right? I think he’s mad about something?’, But the mayor, who is full of years of experience, pointed out Seongje’s planting and put on a slightly embarrassed expression.
It’s not hard to appease and calm an angry person if you know what makes him angry.
However, how to appease a person who is full of annoyance due to annoyance, and who is evaluated as being cool-headed?
The mayor glanced back at Aran in the chair.
Hiccup. … Hig. Inhale.
The mayor, who sighed a little at the sight of Aran’s blushing face because her hiccups didn’t stop, got up from her seat in her place and bowed her back politely.
=The insignificant mayor of Colaido meets the brilliant and noble lamp of Yeongdo.=
Hwanin, who walked between the senator’s seats made like brackets, to a place like the witness stand, responded silently to the old mayor’s polite greeting and scanned the faces of about 50 lawmakers.
‘… 6 people.’
=Huh, six.=
Muros, the cavalry commander who came in after Hwanin a little late, muttered a sigh like a sigh and went to his seat in the Senator’s seat.
Hwanin, who briefly glanced at the place, looked at Aran again with a sharp gaze, who was trying to add more trouble to himself.
“Senator Aran Eroff must be hiding something from me.”
= Yes, it is! Oh no, it’s not! Town…=
“Then why did you urgently gather the lawmakers and plan a party in my absence?”
= It’s a misunderstanding! I didn’t mean to conspire, so that Seongje wouldn’t be bothered! …=
Aran’s sand-colored skin, which had covered her face with her hands, turned red.
“Can you say that before I arrived, there really wasn’t any intention to try to reduce the damage by somehow finding out the details so that the situation doesn’t escalate?”
=… Sin, sorry. There was a bit… Hiccup!=
“Let’s talk about that later, and I’ll ask the mayor some questions.”
=Of course. I will answer what I know sincerely, so if you have any questions or questions, please feel free to ask.=
Hwanin replied in a blunt tone to the gray-haired mayor.
“It’s okay if you give me a rough answer, and if you have something to hide, I won’t mind if you hide it. … How much do you know about the Kang Hyeok-joon couple?”
The old mayor realized with an animal sense that comes from age that the fate of the city depends on the answer to that question.
You can answer roughly. If you have something to hide, it’s okay not to say anything.
‘Instead, if there is a discrepancy from what I found out later, you will all bear the cost.’
The cost is the demise of the city.
The day of his death was imminent, and he was relatively calm in the presence of Asinwi, but even the mayor, who was called Iron Blood, could not help but break a drop of a cold sweat.
What he is curious about has already been figured out from the story he came in and brought out.
The mayor began to speak with a sigh.
=… According to the information I have personally gathered, I believe that the nobility must be involved in the death of the wife of Dimension Wanderer Kang Hyuk-Jun. Of course, not the aristocracy of Collado. No, I must say that the nobles of Colaido are also wearing one.=
“Who is it.”
= Um… 140 miles east of here is the noble city of Syresea. Lucrang of the Four-Tailed Fox Clan is a low-ranking viscount, and his greed for knowledge is said to pierce the sky.=
140 miles, roughly 224 km. At that time, a desert fleur man sitting on the steps of the House of Representatives in the auditorium protests while sitting.
= Poetry, mayor! Slandering the nobles of other cities can cause conflict between cities… !=
=By the way, the guy you’re talking about is a guy who’s been quite close with the viscount for 20 years.=
Hwanin’s golden irises turned to the man who was sitting as if hiding among the people.
As the member of the House of Representatives gave out a suffocating scream while clutching their necks, Isilite and Anne blocked the only entrance to the Congress Hall so that no one could go outside. Among them, Isilite moved without a sound.
In one step, Isilite arrives at the desert Fleurs grabbing his neck, grabs him by the collar, and silently jumps in front of the Hwanin.
= Whoops!?=
Almost like being thrown, a round unemployed man struggles away from Hwanin with a pale face.
Suaaaaa…
Suddenly, the light spear held in Hwanin’s hand revealed its blade of light and thrust itself into the face of the fallen Fleur tribe man.
“You have two options. One is to tell the truth about what you know in life. The other is to give a sincere answer by dying and crying out.”
= This, this, this should not happen! It shouldn’t even happen! Do you know how much and how much repercussions the oppression and persecution of the nobility of Merianol will cause!?=
At the congressman’s outburst, Hwanin asked with a slightly absurd expression on his face.
“You bring up the authority of a nobleman in front of me, who came prepared for an all-out war with Merianol. Can you see that you chose the second option?”
A look of stupidity fills the congressman’s face.
When Hwanin silently lifted the light spear and prepared to strike it down = Hee Iik! = The man screamed and shook his hands.
= No, no! I’ll tell you the truth!
The man’s confession that followed was a sloppy story itself, in which the ugly greed of common aristocrats was buried.
Fascinated by Yoon Mi-rae’s ability to create fairy tales, an aristocrat from an eastern city invited her to become her concubine, but Yoon Mi-rae, who had become her wife from a childhood friend, refused several times.
The city aristocrat, who had a tendency to kill her rather than make her his own, ended up murdering her Yoon Mi-rae.
As befits a character who covets her knowledge, the plan is quite meticulous, leaving only a little bit of a grievance, but he thoroughly erases his traces, kills Yoon Mi-rae, and starts a fight between Kang Hyuk-joon and Colaido’s back alley organization.
=This, because I was drunk and accidentally, I only heard the short story, I don’t know if it’s true or made up! Yes, it’s real!=
Some members of the Desert Fleur tribe, whose eyes were shining blue as a watcher of truth, an innate ability of the Fleur tribe, look on their faces as they see their fellow tribesmen in disgrace.
Regardless of whether or not, Hwanin counted this and that in his head, then narrowed his brows and let out a small sigh as he took the light spear away.
And he kicked the side of the congressman’s face, whose expression brightened, with a face full of annoyance, saying, “I lived!”
Wow!
The congressman, who was blown away by a clean middle kick and hit his head so hard that the senator’s desk dented, and then bubbled with his head broken.
=The shame of the city.=
The chief of the Muros cavalry, with his eyebrows raised in reverse, takes a rope from his pocket and arrests the fainting legislator.
Hwanin, who turned his pants off, looked at the mayor and Aran=Erof with a cold expression and criticized them.
“As you might have guessed, Kang Hyuk-jun would have devoted himself to Evil Faction. And he has become a rare job called Tanwang of Darkness and is moving to destroy not only Colido but also the entire Nionebres.”
=What?=
= Huh… ?=
“From now on, I would like those whom I nominate to come forward. Fourth from the left in the middle row there. 2nd, 7th from the right on the bottom row, 6th from the left on the top row over there…”
The members of the House of Representatives who were pointed out by Hwanin stand up and come forward with stiff faces.
What they have in common is that their skin is purple, although there is a difference between dark and light.
“You are the ones who have been infected with the curse, the soul-contamination bomb, spread by the Dark Night King.”
=… ?!=
=… !!=
At the reaction of the lawmakers, who are astonished and hard to believe at the same time, Hwan-in, as if he had already guessed, fires once, mixing aura with an old-fashioned wave of tranquility.
=… Hey!?=
= Huh… Me, what is that?=
= Young, soul? But that wound… !=
When eleven of the terrible and horrendous souls were visualized by the wave of aura, screams erupted from all over the place, even though they were overpowered by the ashes.
Hwanin put the souls he forcibly brought behind him and opened his mouth.
“I heard that a high-ranking spiritist came to the city not too long ago and wandered around the city complaining of misfortune. In your eyes, was he the one who carried out the unfaithful sex misfortune?”
=…=
=… !=
Then, Hwanin slowly explained what he found out.
3400 years ago, the reason why King Tan of the dark night appeared, his ability, characteristics, scope and aftermath.
Fluffy. Members of the House of Representatives infected with the soul-contamination bomb sit down with devastated faces, while other members of Congress groan and raise their upper bodies as if trying to walk away.
However, I woke up to the fact that Hwanin spread a wave of new-style tranquility, and the skin color slowly returned to its original state, although there was a difference in degree.
Of course, the parties were delighted with the way they were being treated.
= Go, thank you! Thank you, Spirit Master!=
= Stupid… ! This person is the holy priest… !=
=Whoops!=
Hwanin sent a cold gaze at them, who were delighted as if they were dead and then came back to life, and after returning to their seats, he continued.
“The purpose of Kang Hyuk-jun’s actions is clear. It will erase you, and even the citizens of this city, from the face of the earth, dwelling on hatred and resentment.”
=…=
=…=
Hwanin asked with a cynical smile at the faces of the lawmakers getting complicated.
“How does it feel to have made this sadal by burning down a house that should have been a resting place while treating a citizen of the city as a criminal or an insane person without being able to properly protect one citizen from their injustice?”
At Hwanin’s contempt, the members of the council cannot lift their heads.
The mayor said with a haggard face, as if half of his life span had been cut off.
= Just… It’s embarrassing and embarrassing. If he had paid a little more attention, if he had taken care of him, he could have prevented it with a hoe…=
Hwanin looked at the mayor and Senator Erof for a while and then made a request.
“I will see if that statement is true. I will solve Kang Hyuk-jun and the corrupted Evil Faction in the Dark Forest. The city nobility of Syresea is up to you. And.”
Hwanin, who summoned the memory stone from Aspen, put it down on the table in the witness stand.
= Ki, memory stone? That…=
“If today’s incident spreads widely, those who are aiming for the memories contained in the Memory Stone will cause trouble in Nionebreth.”
= Yes? That, … Evil!=
Kwachang— As the memory stone is broken by Hwanin’s fist with a sound, Aran=Erof and several lawmakers scream.
The last bastion to protect the city from the evil faction!
When several lawmakers jumped up and Aran = Erof’s complexion turned pale, Luke Lang, a pangolin from the commercial cooperative, showed his doubts toward Hwanin.
=The thing that Seongje stole back after destroying it… Big!=
However, Isilite, enraged by the act of doubting Hwanin, exploded his life force, and the senator, who was exposed to the death penalty, was unable to finish his words and clutched at his chest, turning blue.
Hwanin looked at the senator with contempt and said.
“I have the information to treat the firearm design in the Memory Stone as ‘so-so’. Would I be greedy for firearms information?”
=…=
“Senator Eroff, please answer me if you sensed a lie in what I just said.”
As Aran = Erope shook his head with a somber face, the hall was so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.
Ballista and repeat heavy bowguns were nothing more than news to them.
A weapon called a gun that John Gunsmith, who created it, feared to recreate, information enough to call it that much… ?
“This is why I broke it. There are people who push their standards of judgment onto others and doubt and doubt again. Even towards Seongjaein, they have unmatched suspicions like this, but what if it was someone of a lower status or powerless?”
Numerous lawmakers appear reddened by harsh criticism. Pangolin Lucrang, who received a direct hit from the criticism, is literally as red as a tomato.
=Ha, but that memory stone was the last bastion to protect the city… !=
The remarks of a member of the House of Representatives were suppressed without delay by Hwanin.
“If you can only defeat Evil Factions by relying on technology from a different dimension where you don’t know the base or the root, if you can’t help and cooperate with nearby cities to stop Evil Factions, it’s better to give up the city.”
At his blow, lawmakers shut their mouths like honeydew mutes.
Have no choice but to close To a person with such knowledge, any logic would be refuted.
Hwanin looked at them as if they were pathetic.
“I don’t know what John Gunsmith did to this city. But if I had to pick one of my worst mistakes, it would be that I left behind drawings and memories of firearms.”
= That… The thing is, why is it… ?=
Her successive mental shocks drove her to a near-groggy state, and to Aran = Erope’s question, her ghost stared at her calmly and answered.
“Firearms are a technology that will destroy Nionebreth civilization in a different way. If I were God, I would not stand by and watch such an act.”
As he speaks, it comes with a sense of reality that is different from what others say.
The mayor asked in a slightly trembling voice.
=What do you mean?=
“Whether it be a flood, an earthquake, an avalanche of monsters, or the wrath of the sky, it will wipe out civilization. Or did they reduce the number of humans to such an extent that civilization could not be established?”
For a while, no one could open their mouth to his story as cold as ice.
