Chapter 769 – 760 the Road to Elwidris
Around that time, Hwanin and his party were crossing the Moldlete Strait by boat.
The prophets from Elwidris were in a panic and frenzy, causing delirium.
Tavianus Anullan Turcion, Director of the Dimensional Wanderers Administration and another side-identity, asked the secretary who had brought her report, faintly frowning her brush-painted, silver-green eyebrows.
= You said all 19 people went insane? Did you even see the prediction of the end of the world?=
= There are many mysterious things to see. There is a previous record of a premonition of that magnitude entering an awakening state in the middle of daily life. By the way, all 19 people went mad and went crazy, but the time was different.=
=What about our prophets?=
=All the Prognostic Officers of the Jewel Palace are safe.=
=Are they the only prophets on the Elwidris side? …=
Tavianus reads the rest of the report quickly, noticing the wrinkles between his eyes.
In the report, the time when the frenzy was suppressed by those who were put in as escorts, the time when they were escorted to the medical center due to delirium, etc., But as the secretary said, each perspective was different.
But there was one thing in common.
=It happened after each person went to bed starting from 7 hours ago.=
=Yes. I heard a prophecy through a prophet with whom I could barely communicate, and I received an answer saying, ‘It was a scene of golden light pouring down and melting me to the soul.’ According to the investigator’s investigation, the moment the brain is relaxed for sleep, it is believed that the murderous intention of a transcendental person hit the brain directly and the mind could not stand it.=
=… What kind of person is transcendent?=
Both Tabianus, who asked the question, and the secretary who received the question, were thinking of the same name and face.
Even if it’s not, the loss of thirteen high-ranking judges and the loss of the torpedoes for the anti-Ashin attack, which I put a lot of effort into due to the late contact, are giving me a headache, but this time even the prophets…
Ppogak
The pen magic tool breaks with a rupture in the grip of Tabianus, who recalled the memories of being scolded by his superiors while talking about responsibility.
The deaths of the higher judges this time were entirely due to the sudden actions of the judges.
The duties given to the judges were observation and surveillance.
The procedure of the two test subjects was originally a top-class secret, so it was a class that could not be disclosed to the outside or publicized, so judges were sent to observe and monitor how the two would move in a suggestive way and activate the magic ball, just in case…
=…=
However, when the experimental body unexpectedly acted, the judges tried to stop the two by raising work ethics, and a battle broke out, causing destruction in Moldrete, and as a result, the Holy Emperor gave an excuse to intervene.
Through the sprinkled snow, information is coming in that the two test subjects are alive and well.
The shamanic sphere has been removed, the suggestion has been released, and it must be said that some information from this side has been exposed.
From the beginning, the Gyeolmyeonghoe was not exposed at all, and the test subjects tried their best to keep the girls buried in their skin and remain stupid, but considering the intelligence of Seongje, he must have found out quite a lot.
Even the prophets…
Tavianus, who beckoned to send the secretary away, couldn’t bear the throbbing headache and sighed softly, clutching his face.
= It’s frustrating…=
Right now the situation in Passage is extremely bad.
It is not known how much the Holy Ritual was aimed at, but due to the interference of other religious orders, the activities of Gyeolmyeonghoe were extremely contracted, and there was a setback in the supply of ‘material’ and materials for the activities of the meeting.
It has become increasingly difficult to find ‘material’ in other countries, and even if it is found, it is often already secured by the relevant national institution.
Even if they ask for the delivery of ‘material’, the countries that handed over the ‘material’ obediently until a year ago are now only snoring because of the exposure of the Holy Emperor.
It has been a long time since the material for the awakening experiment of the material, as well as the ‘material’, has not been supplied.
Due to the extremely sensitive nature of the material, it has been raining for over half a year, and the energy of water has soared overwhelmingly, making airlift itself impossible.
It is a situation where it is sensitive to the flow of phase force and cannot even use space movement. It has already been 3 months since the experiment was stopped.
‘Despite this, the old people only urge us to produce results. It’s so full of greed, it’s so hideous.’
Tavianus, who was chewing on someone inside, felt the withdrawal symptoms caused by his stress slowly creeping in.
I couldn’t stay calm, and my legs wrapped in black stockings trembled, then I got up and walked around the front glass.
A white blouse, a black spandex mini skirt, and a voluptuous body uncharacteristic of a fleur in black stockings are restless, enough to set a man’s chest on fire.
= Only one cigarette…=
Tavianus eventually lost patience and reached for his cigarette box.
The dark brown cigarette treated with special medicinal materials is soon lit and gloomy white smoke rises, clearing her forehead, which was weakly wrinkled from her headache and stress.
Tavianus thought as she awoke her drowsy mind as she sparingly smoked a cigarette that cost 10 gold coins each.
‘It is widely known that the aura of the Holy Emperor is golden. If the golden light foretold by the prophets is really the light of the holy sacrifice…’
What the prophets saw was a future of self-destruction.
El Widris She knows about her visions that the prophets saw. And that it was a prophecy that came true after part of it was missed.
The pre-view ended with Elwidris being completely annihilated by an unidentified black pillar.
However, in reality, the symbolic tree of the city was burnt down and most of the nobles, knights, and some citizens died due to the painstaking efforts of Phsud = Oul = Elwidris.
Since then, there has been no reaction, but today, the reaction of wisdom suddenly returns. Does it mean that Seongje, who had been ignoring it until now, decided to dispose of the prophets?
But why now?
=… I don’t know.=
Delirium and madness are poisonous to prophets who require delicate and sensitive mental power.
It is no exaggeration to say that they have lost their practical value.
Rather than all that trash, what we should focus on right now after losing 2 test subjects…
‘It’s evidence that the Holy Emperor possessed it.’
It is understood that he started his activities about 5 years ago.
Five years ago was the time when the coin toss policy was in full swing. If he really crosses the dimension with a coin toss, he should put all his energy into securing that coin.
Their power enough to wipe out thirteen high judges in an instant is comparable to that of the White Leaf Warriors, the highest armed group in the Passage.
If they go all the way to the Holy Festival, even if they mobilize all the black leaf altars, there is no guarantee of victory.
Should I mobilize all the power of the city and even the royal family, the transcendent spirit contractor, to achieve a 90% win rate?
In addition, it is unknown what more they are hiding, so if they confront it head-on, it will be an overwhelming loss for them.
So, before that happens, if you find out the coin numbering of Seongje, you can banish that troublemaker from this world without any damage.
As the cigarette burned, Tabianus’s eyes began to take on a gloomy light.
An hour after the ship departed South Moldrete, Hwanin thought for a while and asked the sea otter-eared female sailor who operated the ship as the first mate.
“Can you dock anywhere other than North Moldlet?”
The sailor, dressed in a Japanese sailor’s swimsuit, held the helm and read the wind direction and tide while sailing, blinking at Hwanin’s request for a moment.
Why do you want to anchor somewhere else? Usually, these requests are made by illegal immigrants or criminals…
Seongjae couldn’t be a criminal, much less an illegal alien, and the second-in-command butler ordered that Seongjae obey all requests even if he wrecked the ship or asked for his body…
=You can!=
“Then I would like you to get out of this area and head east, as far as you can go.”
=Old!=
Leaving the sailor who answers vigorously, he gazes at the gradually decreasing port of Moldlet in the south.
There must be a lot of pigeons and pigeons sent from Passage without knowing it in North Moldlete.
It doesn’t matter if the trend and dynamics of this side are conveyed, but I have no intention of giving out information quickly.
The more panicking over there, the more gaps will be revealed, and the white wolves might get a chance to penetrate those gaps more easily.
‘Is there a month left?’
It’s about a month until the completion of the giant golem mentioned by the underground rate.
… No matter how much I think about it, the schedule seems to be pushed back a little more.
The distance from Moldlete to Passage is about twice the distance from Colado to Moldlete.
Between Colado and Moldrete was a relatively flat moor-plain. But Passage was told that jungles were formed everywhere, like southern countries.
Also, instead of going straight to Passage, we plan to stop by Elwidris to get information on the prophets and pass by the place where the divine beast is located.
Considering that it took more than 20 days by carriage from Colaido to Moldlete, a month from here to Passage can easily pass.
‘It would be good to share what I found out this time, as well as talk about it.’
Hwanin, who came down to the deck and went to the cabin, saw Isilite sitting near the mast in the middle of the deck with Silu.
Both of them look not good and have no energy.
Silu has a fire attribute, so even so, I didn’t expect Isilite to show her like that.
She fought near the lake a few times and fell in once, but it didn’t matter then. But why is it squeaking like that now?
=Master.=
“It’s okay, rest.”
= I’m sorry…=
Beep…
Hwan-in, who stroked the hair of Shilu, who shook her neck, and Isilite, who looked weak, passed by Anne, who was talking to Kim Chul-soo and Kim Young-su, and entered her cabin.
“…”
Cheol-soo Kim, who had been staring blankly at Hwan-in’s back until the cabin door closed, asked Anne to confirm again.
“Hwanin hyung-nim has been traveling for 5 years… ?”
= Yes. The longest he stayed in one place was about a month? I also stayed because of my schedule doing various things, most of it was spent on moving.=
“…”
“…”
Kim Chul-soo and Kim Young-soo were at a loss for words.
Due to the nature of the university, which has a long vacation period, the two have experiences of traveling quite far in search of a part-time job with strong Faye during summer and winter vacations.
I’ve done highway repair work and railroad facility management, and I’ve been on a fishing boat for about a month.
Almost full vacation period, 1-2 months. It was hard to get around for a limited time, but five years of traveling from opposite side of the continent to the other side, not an ordinary journey, but across a monster-infested and caste-ridden place, going to Passage?
“That… You’re going to kill the guy you summoned in Passage, right?”
“Isn’t that the explanation?”
The two naturally shut their mouths. And I thought seriously.
‘I really shouldn’t be fooling around with my brother…’
‘If I get filmed, even if I die, I won’t be able to die comfortably.’
Brother threatens… No, I warned you. If you betrayed me, you would see a terrible sight.
At the time, I just vaguely thought it was scary, but I didn’t quite realize it, but when I heard that he had been crossing the continent for 5 years for revenge, I thought that I shouldn’t be messing around.
If you look at the current situation, aren’t you trying to terrorize the capital of a country and a city with a population of millions in order to revenge yourself for forcibly summoning you?
It is difficult for an average person to maintain a fair amount of vengeance for less than a year.
No matter how much resentment burns, humans are animals of adaptation. This is because we are used to anger, and maintaining anger and vengeance takes a tremendous amount of mental energy.
For the first 1-2 months, I would be in a constant state of anger. However, as time passes, the anger subsides and daily life returns.
And if it’s anger enough to make it difficult to return to daily life, people will become devastated or go crazy.
But Hwanin hyung-nim isn’t crazy or impoverished…
‘Isn’t it rather a fun mode?’
Develop your skills, collect beautiful girlfriends, equip your equipment, and raise your reputation.
Going on a vengeance that has entangled millions in 5 years of fun mode?
Cheol-soo Kim trembles as if he is getting goosebumps and asks Young-soo for his consent.
“Director Tavianus, that bitch is really fucked up.”
“Real. I was pretty angry too, but seeing my older brother’s anger, I just… The anger is gone and all I can think of is pitiful.”
= Now, stop chatting. Restart your mental focus. This time it’s 10 minutes.=
“Ancient!”
“Yes! … Um, by the way, Hwanin hyung-nim, how many minutes does he focus on?”
= Dolyeong? As far as I know, I do it all day. I have a lot of things to do with my head, so I can’t do that very often.=
“Oooh. All day!”
“Oh my god…”
To think that they can empty their heads and stay mindless all day long, even after 5 minutes, miscellaneous thoughts come to mind.
=Close your eyes, eyes.=
Tadak!
“Ugh!”
“Evil!”
Feeling the pain rising from the top of their heads, the two suddenly closed their eyes and began basic training to improve their abilities, mental concentration training that no one had told them about in the passage, under Anne’s supervision.
After sailing for 12 hours, the party moved a longer distance than originally planned and arrived at Meishin in the south, one of the four continents that make up the main island of Merianol.
With the help of the wind, the tide, and the wind spirit, it traveled nearly 400 km in 12 hours.
The south-central coast of Meishin had many sharp and rugged reefs due to the strong waves coming from the sea, so even a small cog could not be docked.
However, Hwanin and the others ran, jumped, or flew across the surface of the water without much difficulty and landed on the ground.
Kim Young-soo opened his eyes wide in surprise when he saw the spatial movement unfold after almost three days.
“Oh oh. The real ability has become a little easier to use!”
“Really? How much?”
“It’s okay even if I expand space movement, right? The detection range has also been slightly increased. It’s sick.”
Before that, I had to be constantly nervous to perform a space jump, and when I used space movement several times, my chest felt sore and stuffy.
I did, but now, just looking at my physical condition, I feel like I can move 100 km without rest through space movement.
“Oh my god! How much have my abilities grown?
Hwan-in, who gathered the two of them and their girlfriends who were making a big hit, looked up at the sunset sky for a while and said.
“For the time being, we will increase travel time. Wake up early in the morning, move, set up a shelter, and put off resting for about three hours.”
=To avoid the pursuer?=
“I’d appreciate it if the tracker came. The purpose is to match the basement rate and schedule.”
The progress of underground rate work was smoother than he expected.
The giant golem has already been completed and only the magic circuit is being repaired, but I heard that there is no problem in driving it right now without fixing it.
“Let’s talk about this situation, and the underground rate decided to proceed with the work of reinforcing the magic circuit and adding external armor. We aim to arrive at Passage within the next 50 days, and when we arrive at Elwidris, get Kim Chul-soo and Kim Young-soo’s Que, put the carriage in and move only to Que.”
=Yes.=
=Yes.=
Later, when the women were loading the wagon and connecting Kue to prepare for departure, Hwanyeon pulled him by the collar and called out.
“Hwanin, there are people on the sea side staring at you. Not human… Is that my family?”
Looking back, I see a green head floating in the sapphire-colored sea, which is a bit darker than Moldlete Strait.
A snake-like head covered in scales the size of a palm.
Some have the perfect shape of a snake, some have human features to some extent, and a head that looks like a mixture of a snake and a human catches the eye.
That number is about twenty.
Anne, who had approached Hwanin and Hwanyeon looking at the sea, furrowed her eyebrows when she saw it.
=… Oh my God, Nagel, Narga, and Nacus are all mixed together. What’s up with that.=
“Are Naga families divided into categories?”
= Yes. It is divided according to the shape of the head. The one that resembles a person is Nacus, the head of a lizard similar to that of the Sabi is Narga, and the one that resembles a snake is Nagel. The females are Nagi and Medusa, but they almost never watch the nest.=
“The three of you usually don’t seem to get along very well.”
= Uh They are in different areas, and they even fight each other…=
Judging by the green color of the scales, it is a heterogeneous species caused by the reflux of the labyrinth in the sea.
When Hwanin tried to summon an improved barrier panel, Anne held his hand.
= Those guys, when they start fighting, they put on a strange smell, and their own people chase that smell and follow it for hundreds of kilometers. They’re very annoying, so it’s better to ignore them if you’re not attacking them.=
“… It seems your habits have become quite intelligent.”
= Yes. They communicate by making a sound like a scream, which travels several kilometers away on the water. With that, you can identify and track your enemies. =
That’s why, when a battle breaks out, you have to watch them keep coming until all the combatants in the nest they belong to are wiped out, she says.
Hwanyeon said with a face that it was not a big deal.
「Can I wipe it all out with a higher level water spirit?」
=They also have a high affinity for water. The moment you call the water spirit, you’ll call the work cry right away, right? From then on, dozens or even hundreds of naga families flocked to them. Since Nagel, Narga, and Nacus are all together, there could be thousands of them.=
They are annoying people who only listen to stories.
= Master. Preparations for departure are complete.=
Hearing Isilite’s story, Hwanin turned his back on the naga, who were just staring at him in silence.
“There’s no reason to fight the nuisances if you don’t pounce. Climb into the wagon. Depart.”
As soon as he climbed onto Norn’s back and the girlfriends climbed into the wagon and started the wagon, the naga family began to disappear into the water one by one.
For what purpose did you come? Could this be the realm of those naga families?
After telling Norn to fly up, they look down from the sky and see the ship that brought them to this place moving quickly in the wind.
And a group of nagais chasing after such a ship.
「Hwanin! That boat is being chased!」
“…”
「Looks like they came because their territory was invaded. Hwanin, what are you doing? Shall I call the spirits and help you?”
“No.”
It’s the lord’s ship, so it has a special function, or it’s well winded.
‘Cog’s capacity is about 10 people.’
Including the three sailors, herself, her girlfriends, Lee Morel, and the Kim brothers, 10 people easily pass by.
In addition, there were three Que that weighed twice as much as a human, Jellfree was over three times as heavy, and Siludo was enough for one person. Finally food and luggage.
Because it was overloaded, it must have been unable to accelerate. And now that there are three of us and hardly any luggage, we’re going to go full speed.
“Oh, the ship is quite fast.”
If you look at the speed, it is 25 knots, 12 meters per second. The navigational skills were also quite good, and since the charts of nearby seas seemed to be in the head of the first mate, it seemed that the Naga family could be safely evaded.
Hwanin stopped caring and followed the carriage as it began to run in earnest.
And two days later
The party, who had traveled north without rest across a vast plain, had a tall, thick wall in front of them.
“Hmm…”
When I look up, the first thing I see is a tree stump the size of the 63 Building, which has been burned down and broken off in the middle.
The trunk of the tree, which was estimated to be close to 300m in height, was charred like charcoal.
The walls of the castle are stained with soot to the extent that it is impossible to know the original color, perhaps because of the traces of the great fire, and they are dirty from rain and wind.
A lot of goods were coming and going along the road, but an indescribable gloom was felt throughout the city.
A city destroyed by a catastrophe.
That was Hwanin’s impression after seeing Elwidris’ poem.
