Chapter 775 – 766 Elwydris, the Arboreal City
Returning to the inn, Hwanin paid for the repairs of the damaged items and the lodging for the assailants. With their money, of course.
The innkeeper and the innkeeper’s daughter showed a frightened attitude, so Hwanin briefly explained what had happened.
=Spy sent from Passage… Uh, it was kind of strange. That girl smelled like a high-ranking person, but why was it not in a hotel on the main street, but in our inn in a corner like this…=
Hwanin’s eyes shone darkly at the mistress’ trembling sigh.
She is high Come to think of it, it is said that the same Fleurs can tell a high-ranking Fleur just by their scent.
As he left the inn leaving the relieved hostess behind, he saw the three men tied up with broken limbs.
The girl was also tied up with her rope, as if Isilite had tied it up.
Although it is said to be tied, it looks like a tortoiseshell tie at first glance as it is tied with emphasis on the weak chest and groin.
「Hwanin. Humans are flocking to the noise. It’s only now to go back.”
Hwanin, who was staring at the shivering girl on her knees with indifferent eyes, listened to Hwanyeon’s advice and said that she would return to Isilite and the heroic army, then jumped toward the castle.
“…”
No matter how much I thought about it, the purpose of their visit to Elwidris was not clear.
Cheol-soo Kim covered up the story that he saw him at the Dimensional Wanderer Management Bureau, tracked down and captured him, but if you think about it, you can’t figure out why that girl found Elwidris.
It’s not that we can’t figure it out because of complicated and vague plans and conspiracies, it’s that the Administration Bureau can’t find a valid reason or reality to send raiders into this city again.
If you think about the girl’s aura density, it’s about level 2 at most.
It’s not light, and it’s not a case where the aura is extremely sparse due to phase flow like the dimension wanderer.
If it’s level 2, it’s hard to even show the power of the job, so why did the management bureau send that girl?
What is the benefit to the administration by sending it?
What is the reason for sending the three men with self-destruct magic tools planted in their bodies together? Why did a high-status girl stay at an inn in a back alley like that?
To think that she misunderstood the identity of that girl, the behavior the girl showed when approached by us made no sense.
The one the girl was about to throw on the floor was a fairly common emergency escape magic tool, and it had the same appearance as the magic tool I heard about during the pillow talk that happens after having sex with Yurpa.
If you try to run away from this approach, doesn’t it mean there is something to catch you?
Can not understand. So, you must interrogate to understand.
After getting off the Yeongju Castle drawbridge and entering while being saluted by the knights, Hwanyeon whispered that he was sorry in his coat.
“What are you sorry about?”
“I should have been more careful and watched…” … There’s a hole in the surveillance.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“… Huh?”
“Thanks to you, I spent a lot of time comfortably, but that’s about it. Rather, I’m sorry I didn’t say thank you a few times until now.”
“…」
Hwan-yeon, who pursed her lips with an ambiguous expression at Hwan-in’s apology, leaned her head on his chest and smiled that she didn’t even recognize.
He is truly a very considerate man.
After he became younger, he smiled more and acted more kindly, but even before that, he cared for and cared for them enough to make them think he was a psychopath.
Anyway, it is true that there is a hole in the surveillance network, and it is his own fault for making surveillance his role.
In addition to being combat agents, the women, with the exception of Yurpa, had their own roles to share.
Isilite is a maid in charge of taking care of Hwanin and taking care of the party’s meals and housework.
Anne’s role is to understand the laundry and furnishings, and to make Hwanin feel comfortable and give advice.
Yurpa manufactures and supplies various magic items, clothing, and underwear, is in charge of finances, and serves as an advisor related to magic and secret arts.
Baekryeogang is the assistant to Isilite, Anne, and Yurpa, and the shy role of Hwanin.
As a priestess, Ayoung is in charge of the party’s injuries and illnesses, managing the Ques and acting as the leader behind the white wolves.
And she herself is in charge of surveillance and reconnaissance as a spirit.
I tried to keep my mouth shut even when Hwanin nags me about the hole in my surveillance, but I never thought I would be encouraged.
“I know something like this happened, so I won’t miss it from now on.”
“Huh.”
“That’s it.”
Returning to the VIP room after reading the inner pouch containing Hwanyeon, Hwanin sat the three fainted people on chairs, tied them up, and splashed water on them to wake them up.
= Pooh! Phew, Fuuuuu… !=
Yurpa, wearing a single-eyed magic tool for analysis, looks first at the assailants, who have broken limbs, are gagged, and are doused with water and cannot come to their senses.
Yurpa, who was focusing on the wound on the pit of the stomach, took a scalpel and surgical scissors and violently opened the wound where blood continued to flow.
=Turn it off—!!=
= Knocking… !=
In the scene where the raw flesh was ripped open and the emblem in the shape of a small dagger cut into half pieces was precisely removed, Cheol-su and Young-soo couldn’t see the woman’s naked body.
It is the naked body of an extremely beautiful woman, but the blood flows down through the raw breasts and soaks the genital area and pubic hair.
=Yes, it is the same system as the one in Cheolsu and Youngsu’s body.=
“Me, with us?=
As Cheolsu shook off the chicken meat that rose from his arms and opened his eyes wide, Yu Lepa, who pulled the emblems from the chests of the three men, took off his gloves and nodded to him.
=Your emblem is equipped with a resonance and echo function to expel your abilities, and this is a bio-bomb detonator that greatly increases explosive power through phase power. If this all exploded, the surrounding area would have been blown away without a trace?=
“… If it’s the same lineage as the one in our body, it means that it was sent from the management bureau?=
“I think that is very likely. I’ll have to check, though.”
Hwanin’s answer made Kim Chul-soo and Kim Young-soo’s expressions rot.
The fact that they were expendable items no different from those gangsters made them angry.
The more angry the two Kims are, the more flexible the execution of the plan becomes.
Hwanin possessed the souls of the three monsters and asked them questions after the two of them gave enough answers to anger them.
“Where do you guys come from?”
The gagged woman let her sneer through her naked body, her breasts torn apart, and her limbs broken, even in her agony.
= There are many rumors that you are smart, but you are stupid. Did you know that you would honestly answer a question like this?=
A brown-haired woman with her fleur-de-lis and fairly large breasts bowed her back and laughed at her while she was breaking out in a cold sweat, but Hwan-in didn’t care and asked the next question.
“Is it the Orthodox Judgment? What does it have to do with the Dimensional Wanderers Administration?”
=… ?!=
“No relation? Then, why did you come to Elwidris? … Because of that girl? Who is that girl?”
The agents of the 3rd and 4th grade judges, consisting of two women and one man, became cold in the middle of confusion and hot heads from pain.
What is it, does Seongjae even have the ability to read minds? How… !
“Hmm… You don’t know who the girl is, and you don’t know what her purpose is. The mission you received is to deliver the girl to Elwidris, and if you are discovered along the way, run away or self-destruct if you can’t escape? Are you an insignificant errand boy?”
The agents, unaware that the possessed soul was reading and conveying the thoughts that came to their heads, were frightened at the idea that they could read their inner thoughts and tried to avoid eye contact with Hwanin, but Issilite, Anne, and Ayoung stood behind them and forced their heads. Make eye contact with Hwanin.
Hwanin, who had been intimidating the three of them by revealing his secret stomach to dig up information more easily, turned his head and looked back at the girl.
I ask a few questions to the girl with light blue hair who trembles with her clouded eyes.
Where do you come from What order did you receive? Are you a human sent by the Dimensional Wanderer Administration? What is identity name is?
The girl was too frightened to answer, as if in a panic.
She wondered if it was a tactic of deception. Looking through the eyes of the New Spirit, she saw that the color of the fear in the soul was so swollen that it obscured all the colors of the other souls.
He must be a weak person on both sides of the mind and body.
‘It’s difficult.’
The special sealing magic tools made by Yurupa are very effective, but they are too good.
It’s so good that even the possessed soul can’t use much of its power when you wear that seal.
Because of this, it is impossible to possess a soul and then extract information from it. However, it is unknown what will happen if the sealing mouth is removed, and killing is something that is reluctant.
After thinking about a few ways for a while, I called Anne and Ah-yeong, who were only treating her chest wound so that the Judgment Bureau agent would not die, and asked quietly.
“Can you guess what the girl with the blue hair is?”
= Judging by his body odor, he is a child of a marquis family. About twelve years old? Thirteen?=
= I know almost all of them except for those born in the last 10 years, but there is no girl like that. Of the Fleurs with sky blue hair, there are only two Marquis of Jaktol and Marquis of Gutaleon.=
=Body hair color is revealed as an atavism, so I can’t believe it very much.=
= What is atavism… ?=
“It is a genetic trait that is expressed across generations.”
=… Uh, then most of the marquis families are included.=
When Ah-yeong makes a puzzled expression, Anne slightly frowns.
Hwanin asked the two questions.
“What would happen if a Marquis-class person received seeds from commoners or sowed seeds from commoners? Does it smell like a Marquis in the same way?”
= Huh? Uh… The odds are low, but it’s possible. There is a story that the unique body odor is a kind of magic mark that is created by a combination of magic power and spirit power. If you happen to be born with strong magic power, even if you are born among commoners, you can have a body odor similar to that of a marquis. In that case, the child will be brought into her family and made her a collateral descendant.
=Really? It’s the first time I’ve heard such a story.=
=It must be because it is a story only known to the royal family.=
= Ah… The high-ranking people of the Fleurs will never say anything that will damage their face…=
Hwanin, who was listening to the conversation between Anne and Ayeong, furrowed his eyebrows even more.
“Does that mean that a child born between a marquis and a commoner could have the body odor of a count or a viscount?”
=Is it right?=
“Then that girl could be a child of royalty and commoners, or low-ranking nobles.”
=…=
=…=
The unthinking glances of the two women turn to the girl who is trembling like a small bird.
Hwan In-do looked at the girl and thought for a while before calling Kim Chul-soo and Kim Young-soo.
“I said I was hungry for women. Take the authors and pass into the next room for a moment. She’s done her usefulness, so you can play with her until she calls.”
“… ?!”
“… !”
The two opened their eyes wide at the story of Hwanin.
Although they are a bit injured and devastated, they are incomparably more beautiful than the women the administration gave them.
Can I play with girls like that?
Kim Cheol-soo kicked Kim Yeong-soo, who was trying to laugh, and answered with an awkward laugh.
“Oh no! I’ll just take him over and keep an eye on him so he doesn’t do anything stupid.”
“Is it.”
“Shit, why are you doing this… !”
“Crazy bastard, pay attention… !”
“Why… ! Brother allowed… !”
“Shut up and let’s move on, huh… ?”
Kim Yeong-soo grabs the Judgment Bureau agent with a small voice and leaps into the next room and disappears.
Hwanin, who watched with a small smile, put his hand on the head of the girl who was trembling even more as the Judgment Bureau agents disappeared, and spread the wave of tranquility weakly.
First of all, I’ll be able to hear the answer what to do with this tension.
Afterwards, he untied the ropes that tied her body, wrapped her outer clothes even though they were puffy, and ordered Issilite to give her a sweet and soft fruit drink.
What a sudden change of attitude, the girl whose head was paralyzed by her fear and fear glanced at her ghostly mind a little bit.
Growl—
Maybe it was because he smelled the sweet and soft smell of milk and strawberry juice. Hearing the sound from the girl’s stomach, Hwanin cleared his fearful energy and spoke in a soft voice.
“I understand that you are afraid of me. Although I am called the Holy Emperor, I am merciless towards my enemies.”
=…=
“The reason I scared you was because I thought you were my enemy… It would be better to drink it first and take a breather.”
While the girl hesitated at Hwanin’s soft story, she jumped out! The door opened and Norn ran in.
She must have been playing with Silu, her hair and her clothes are full of straw.
Seeing the juice in the girl’s hand, Norn shouted, her eyes twinkling.
「Isilite! I’m a milk strawberry too!”
=I’ll give it to you, so come in after dusting yourself with straw.=
“Huh!”
A normal child would shake her clothes with her hands, but the Norn creates a wind that winds it lightly from her toes to the top of her head, then blows straw and clumps of dust out of her window.
Then, with her green hair twisted like a stick, she ran to Isilite, who brought her milk strawberry juice.
“Norn, come here.”
Hwanin sat Norn in front of him and brushed her hair with a comb.
After a few brushings, Bongdu’s hair turned into a bob, but every time I brushed her ears pricked up so cute that I continued to comb her hair slowly.
Norn liked it so much that she sipped her milk strawberry juice with her smile on her face, shaking her legs slightly, and the girl sitting across from her cautiously started drinking her milk strawberry juice.
As soon as she took a sip, she opened her golden eyes round, and the girl who drank a little faster.
Seeing her quickly empty the juice in a cup large enough to cover half of her face, her phantom beckoned her to refill the juice, and her portion of the egg yolk was also reduced. Get a refill from Rite.
Hwanin quietly spoke to the girl who was drinking the juice more than before.
“Looking at your timidity, it’s hard to see that you took the initiative to harm anyone. Someone must have ordered it, and I think it must be the director of the management bureau.”
=… !=
Watching the girl who shuddered her shoulders gradually calm down, she opened her mouth again.
I listened to Hwanin’s story relatively calmly, probably less surprised this time.
“So, to be honest, I’ll try to treat you in the best possible way.”
=…=
The deepening of the girl’s troubles is clearly visible from the movement of her toes.
The girl, fidgeting with her little white toes as if nervous and nervous, lowered her half-drinked juice cup and opened her mouth as if determined.
= I… I am the royal family, of… I’m an illegitimate child…=
Anne’s eyes widened when she said that she was the illegitimate daughter of the royal family, and Hwanin gave her a small signal to give up her mind and regain her composure.
=Cha, from the Dimensional Wanderer Administration… Sent me here If you are here, the next person will come… Just to tell you what to do…=
“If it’s the royal family, is it Turcyon?”
= Yes…=
“Was it an order from the Administration to try to escape by using a magic tool for emergency escape?”
=Yes, yes. He told them to run away if someone attacked them in the city… It was given to me by Director Tavianus…=
“…”
When she looks at Yurpa, she puts down the emergency escape tool she was holding and secretly sends her hand gestures.
It is said that only the appearance is a magic tool for emergency escape, but in reality it is a signal.
After hearing her story, Hwanin touched the finger of Norn, who sat between her legs, and was lost in her thoughts.
In the meantime, Anne asked a question in her calm voice.
= Do you know who her dad or mom is? =
= No… It’s just, a member of the royal family of Turcion…=
= Yes? Maybe the color of her hair…=
Anne, who asked this and that, gave her girl a small smile.
Could her question have allayed the girl’s anxiety?
Hwanindo asked a few more questions to the girl who opened her speech with a more relaxed complexion.
What’s your name do you know what your job is What were you doing before the administration’s instructions came down? What was the atmosphere like at Passage? …
The girl, Saine, was living in a facility that collected and managed illegitimate children of the royal family. She said that even though it was a facility, she lived in abundance in a three-room, one-story building with a spacious garden.
Like the other boys and girls, Neh, who was staying at home with two watchmen and maids, awakened to her rare job and her affiliation shifted.
However, she was moved to a special facility, and as a result of the investigation, her abilities were not much.
It was just a rare job that made plants grow a little faster, a so-called bad job.
Abilities that have nothing to do with combat and growth limit qualities are only 2nd or 3rd grade, and the range that can affect them is only a small vegetable garden.
A second investigation was conducted to see if it would be helpful for growing rare plants or herbs, but when it became known that Saine’s abilities could be done with mid-level plant spirits, the neglect began in earnest.
She could also be called Gyereuk.
Because she showed a special facility, a place related to the defect, she can’t change her affiliation again, because her ability is insignificant.
However, she had royal blood to dispose of.
Yes, she was summoned by Director Tavianus a few days ago, and she moved to El Widris with humans she did not know whether she was an escort or a warden. .
Hwanin and the women, who had moved away from Saine, exchanged stories in low voices.
= There was no lie. It’s all true and sincere. What was Doryeong like to see with her soul’s eyes? =
“It is like you. With a personality like that in the first place, you wouldn’t be able to lie in an atmosphere like this.”
= Sympathy So, I think you guessed why he sent that girl?=
Hwanin remained silent for a moment, then nodded his head.
“Director Tabianus seems to have used Saine as a sacrifice to try to figure out this side’s abilities.”
It is easy to find out what kind of detection ability the opponent has if you give him a specific anti-detection magic tool and calculate the time it was sent, the time period, and the way he was caught.
=Uh, then I wonder if Hwanyeon has been able to detect spirits… ?=
“I don’t know about anything else, but you must have found out that this side is using spirits for detection.”
Isilite tilted her head at Hwanin’s calm response.
= Does being known change anything? =
“Well. If it was the Administration, he might have created an object or ability that completely avoids the elemental’s line of sight. We have the skills to create something like this.”
The women’s eyebrows furrowed when they lifted up the emblem embedded in the bodies of the two Kims and the emblem with the self-destruct function.
Yu Lepa puts her hand on her waist and makes a cute frown.
=So, it means that he will start meeting the conditions to assassinate you.=
“It has already been widely known that we are heading to Passage. Since the whereabouts are obvious, it is possible that the assassin is ambushed at the corner of the road.”
=If that’s the case, isn’t there any reason to send Saine?=
“Isn’t it?”
= What… Ah.=
Unlike Yu Lepa, who realized something about her, there were women who couldn’t guess yet, so Anne explained with her ice-cold face.
=If Doryeong kills Saine, he can be accused of murdering the royal family, and the secret of the facility can be hidden, and Turcion is an opportunity to cover up the illegitimate child’s flaws. Maybe she’s just waiting for me to kill her. =
The women keep their mouths shut over Anne’s expressionless talk about dirty politics.
Hwanin looked back at the girl who was being watched by Norn like a puppy wary of newcomers.
“Okay. But… Director Tavianus and the facility seem to have misjudged Saine.”
= Huh? What?=
“Saine’s ability is nothing special.”
The fact that her facility, which has more information about her rare job than anywhere else, has investigated her, suggests that her job is a unique class.
In addition, in the eyes of her Hwanin’s new-style soul, Sai Ne’s aura is very thick and rich.
Although her whole body is not as full as Anne’s, it’s a level that easily surpasses her advanced level of spirits.
“Nevertheless, her appearance is just that of a slender woman. It means that she has a lot of aura that her ability needs so much that it can’t affect the body.”
As Hwanin of hers approaches Saine and carefully lifts her slender wrist, the women who come closer nod to her as well.
= Saine’s ability is weak and useless as a result of the investigation, then…=
“It must be said that the facilities of the Management Bureau and the organization of those who are destined to lose sight do not have any means of detecting spiritual energy. Wouldn’t she exert enormous power towards agriculture and plants if she had proper training.”
If she made a pact with the plant spirit, she might be able to grow certain plants, such as purifying flowers, without much effort.
At Hwanin’s guess, Saine puts an unbelievable light in her big eyes.
Seeing those eyes, Hwanin gave a small smile.
“It may be hard to believe. This is a group without any special means of inspection, and the place you received must have been a specialized facility that received all kinds of support from the capital.”
= Oh no! I believe…=
Hwanin looked at you while she clenched her fists and shook her head, then smiled and told her girlfriends about her feelings.
“I feel like I have been given an unexpected gift. Of course, you will have to undergo a thorough examination by Yurpa to make sure that no harmful procedures have been applied to your body.”
Anne also laughed as if it was a little absurd.
=Really. The great saintess of Yeongdo will be happy to see Saine.=
= Then, should Saine also sleep with the master? If she has a lot of aura, she can be affected as good as that. =
To Issilite who asked an unexpected question, Hwanin frowned and answered.
“Nothing like that. Minors are out of my interest.”
= Yes? What about Norn?=
Hwanin frowned a little more at Anne’s calm and weak question.
“From the perspective of Norn as a member of the Que tribe, she is an adult. Hwanyeon is also a spirit whose age is meaningless.”
She first put a wedge in the momentum to mention Hwanyeon, but the women gave subtle smiles that were hard to understand.
