Chapter 786 – 777 Durdane, the Open Pit Mining Town
Having exceeded the purpose of visiting Durdane, the party began preparations for departure that afternoon.
= Isilite sister. It is said that rock salt and two spices are famous here. I heard that the stone mushrooms mined in the Doldos Labyrinth are also delicacies.=
=Stone mushroom… Could it be a stone mushroom?=
=Oh, that’s not it. It looks like a stone on the outside, but it’s an ordinary mushroom on the inside. Proud people at the tavern said that it is so delicious if you mix it with rock salt and dolde spices after steaming or boiling.
= I’m selling it over there. Try it once.=
=Yes, sister!=
Isilite, along with Baekryeogang, went around to buy Durdane’s specialties and food materials that could only be obtained on land, and Yurpa took Anne and Ayeong to buy various quality ingots of Durdane.
The reason is no different, there is a Doldos level 4 labyrinth attached to the open-air mine northwest of Durdane…
=The mine is affected by the labyrinth and produces high quality ore.=
=… Yes? Create?=
= Yes. After digging down the mine, if you go back in a few days, it is said that the ore is recreated in the place where you dug it up.=
= Wow, various natural mines that don’t dry up to the Prouds. It’s worse than a labyrinth where gold comes out?=
=Thanks to that, the Draugus royal family’s finances are much better than other royal families. The amount of money donated to the Council every year is also the largest among the seven royal families, but this incident has left the biggest supporter…=
=That’s probably why the inside of the council can’t unite as one.=
= I think so too. In addition, the Alseis family and Myriastum are also leaving, right? It seems that the power of Merianol has been cut by more than half at the most, as the one tower of money, Drogus, the one tower of power, Alseis, and the one tower of spirits, Miriastum, broke away at once.
= Uh… Combat is not the main specialty of the remaining four families, right?=
= Yes. At least, if Younglim’s Formisald and Cheonryeop’s Alquanin act recklessly, they can fight…=
Formisald is a family with many outstanding talents in many fields.
If Alseis’ talent is 10 in force and Myriastum is 10 in affinity with spirits, then Formisald has 7-8 in affinity with power and spirits.
Since Alquanin was the beginning of his family, he declared that he would only deal with monsters and deformed species, so it is difficult to mobilize for interpersonal combat.
The turcion of astrology and the ombard of jimo are specialties outside of combat. Of course, since he’s a royal family, he has basic powers, but…
=… I really don’t understand Turcion. Even though there is astrology, it’s true that you didn’t predict this situation or you’re planning this situation by predicting it.=
= Astrology is a sixth sense that transcends cognition, and it uses tools to predict the way to go or what to do in the future. It’s a completely different structure from Yeji. There may be a mistake in the selection.=
=Ladies~ Hurry up!=
=Oh my sister is calling.=
=Let’s go.=
While the girlfriends were wandering around like that, Hwanin was stirring up Durdane following the soul’s response and perception with only Norn and Hwanyeon.
“Sir Seongjae. I can feel the organ on this side.”
Mymria, who had been following her invisible, guides her through Durdane’s alley.
If it was another country, I wouldn’t have been able to go around like this, but it’s because the Fleurs of Merianola don’t look at it strangely even if they walk around alone without a hood.
Hwan-in, who followed Lia’s name, was able to find the souls of a man and a woman sitting in a dark and dank place where her sun was hidden.
The two Selfin Prouds, dressed in shabby and patched-up clothes, who seem to have died after living a pretty rough life, sit like bullies and stare at Hwanin standing in front of them, saying “Ah?”
“What’s up with this far-off goblin?”
“… Can’t you see us?”
“You can see the fucking pussy. We’re not even spirit masters, so how do you look at us?”
“Still…」
The Selfin Proud man looked up and down at Hwanin and the Norn clinging to him, messing around like a modern teenager.
“Why did you come all the way here when you’re not even a professional? Even if you see the kid next to you, did you find a dark place to stab it?”
“… Yum, something feels strange. Let’s just go.”
“It’s strange, what is it? Let’s wait If you do well, you might even be able to see rice cakes.”
Seeing the man lowering his head as if trying to look inside Norn’s skirt, who was smirking and looking around, Myeongria laughed and asked Hwanin.
“Seongje-nim, how are you?”
“Uh?! What, what! Where do you hear… !”
「Yum, as expected, it’s strange! Let’s run away!”
The two of them flinched as if they couldn’t see Myeonglia right in front of them, but soon the woman’s cry made them try to run away through the wall, but their movements froze as if they were stuffed.
The moment the man’s voice resounded in my head, “Stop it.” I really couldn’t move a finger.
In the meantime, I resonated with the two souls and confirmed what life was like before I nodded my head slightly.
“This should be fine.”
While alive, he threatened and extorted those weaker than himself, and even committed murder on several occasions, burying them in the ground.
If you ask 10 people, all 10 of them are criminals who would say the death penalty.
“Yes. Then…」
Leah, who came closer to the two hardened souls with her back to her, wrapped her arms around her two necks like a child and began blowing ominous bloody breath into her ears.
“Hug!? Heehee!”
“Ha ha… ! City… Rut… ! With your head… Come in… Maa… !”
Two gray souls that turn red from their ears the more breaths flow into them.
The two of them, who were fluttering with the name Lia’s arm wrapped around her neck, turned into complete red spirits before just 10 seconds had passed.
Hwan-in, who recovered the two of them by turning them into soul beads and saying, “Hmm.” He let out a short sigh.
On the way to this point, I caught animals and experimented with monsters, monsters, and monsters that attacked to increase the red jade, but only human souls were mixed.
Bandits and wild enemies often appear, and if Passage continues to send raiders, they will gather them quickly, but whether the current state of Passage is the current state, there are no raiders, and there are few bandits due to the nature of Merianole country infested with Nagas.
As a result, only 17 bodies have been gathered from Elwidris to this place.
Her name, Lia, looked at Hwanin in her troubles and, like a succubus, seducing her, she quietly placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered tenderly.
“I’m Sung Jenny. Rather than collecting this inefficiently… Wouldn’t it be nice to visit the directly-controlled city of the Turcion family? If you go there, there must be a mountain of garbage… Whoop whoop.”
“…”
Her Hwanin looked back at her with her expressionless expression without answering her, and at his gaze, which seemed to warm even her ice, Lee Myung-ri stood back in awe.
“Name Lia.”
“Yes yes.”
“I understand your grudge. As much as you cooperate with me, I will try to resolve that resentment.”
“…」
『But like this… If you try to cross the subject, it will be difficult.”
Recognizing his voice and the sense of intimidation that seemed to shake her soul, Leah let out her mandible, rough breath, clutched her neck, and dropped to her knees.
A voice that seemed to sway the gathering of souls. A presence that seemed to grab and crush the soul itself.
Name Leah trembled, unable to take her eyes off his golden eyes and the distorting glow around them.
Hwanin smiled as he placed his hand on Lia’s hair, which was as red as blood and as white as her snow.
『People know how to live without problems. Isn’t it?』
Her lips and eyes are holding a warm smile like a spring breeze, but the eyes looking at her do not contain any emotion.
The gaze of a ruthless tyrant who seemed to destroy even the soul if he went against it even a little.
Her name Leah answered, pressing her bulging chest to the point that her bulging chest was squeezed as she felt a shudder running from her tailbone to the nape of her neck.
“Yes… Hey! Sungjae’s… As you said… ♥」
“Great.”
Hwanin lightly patted her on the head and turned her around to get out of his back alley and conceived of a plan to gather more confusion.
The only thing that appears in Durdane’s labyrinth is the golem-type heteromorphic species. However, there are labyrinths where humanoid heteromorphs appear.
If it was a heterogeneous soul there, wouldn’t it be possible to make it mixed? If you look for labyrinth information near the passage… No, rather than that.
‘I think I can try it as a Naga family.’
The Naga family are monsters that do not have only an interpreter organ, have a language, and use collective tactics by forming colonies or colonies.
There are plenty of possibilities.
Still, I have to go out to sea sooner or later, but it will be annoying if I get along with the Naga family.
Hwanin, who had secured three more red jade by treating My Name Lia, who had become more docile as his madness faded, walked out into the main street watching her slowly set.
She no longer seemed to be able to get more red jade even if she wandered around Durdane.
「In the end, I only managed to secure 5 red jade in 3 hours. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to find and kill hwanin, bullies, or bullies?”
It is a story that those who raided an organization and even killed people should be executed as they are, and those who committed lesser crimes should be thrown to the city guards to solve the problem.
However, Hwanin was negative about that opinion.
“I think the fact that Adnebilla fell and turned into a serpent that spreads obesity is the result of an arbitrary interpretation of the current situation.”
“You mean killing a human and capturing their soul and turning them into red prison is no different from what Adnebilla did?”
“Okay.”
The soul’s judgment of good and evil is God’s job, not one’s own.
It would be self-defense to kill and use those who rushed to kill or harm us with obvious hostility. It feels like there is no problem.
However, even if it is a wicked person, harming someone who has nothing to do with this side and trying to use the soul is felt to be a kind of overreaction in terms of modern law.
「Hmm. This is why I collect all 100 red jade in a certain age.”
“It will be fine if you collect it. If you have to write it, you can write it first.”
Saying that, I left the alley and entered the main street, where I could see Durdane workers pouring out of their workplaces.
The sky gradually turns from blue to orange. Street lights that come on one by one.
Carts and wagons are busy carrying customers, and people who have worked hard are looking for a bar with bright faces in groups of threes and threes.
From the shops lined up along the road, loud laughter and the smell of food from frying, roasting and roasting flow out.
「Hwanin. Spirits are coming in from the other side. I’m guessing it’s an official high-level soul master?」
For some reason, Hwan-in, who was slightly lost in memories as he walked through the nostalgic scenery, looked back at the story of Hwan-yeon.
You can’t see it from here, but you can hear a strange buzz through the crowd.
As I stopped and waited for a while, the murmur grew louder and the same people walking down the street stopped and snooped across the road just like Hwanin.
= What is it What’s going on? =
=… Huh? What=
=Hey, the spirit master is here!=
=Soul Master!?=
= What? Really?=
= It’s not the time to drink like this! Let’s go!=
Some of them jump out of their drinks and run to the other side, and the carts and frictions that come and go on the road become cluttered and then stick to the edge of the road.
It was at that moment that the crowd split left and right and the Spirit Sage with an aura like a lightening phenomenon appeared on a straw-colored Que.
Whoaaaaa!!!
Wow~~!!
Shouts broke out in a loud voice.
Three on the left, three on the right. When a female spirit priest with yellow fox ears appears with a total of six spirit knights, crowds of people walking on the road gather at the edge of the road and chant the word spirit master.
The female spirit woman waved her hand slightly to the citizens of Durdane who were calling her with an awkward smile on her face.
Toward such a spiritual event, the citizens roar with respect and welcome.
“A younger brother like that would be about 6th grade. Seeing that the spirit knights behind are also 4th and 5th grade, it must be a city-level touring soul knight.”
“…”
As if they are accustomed to this kind of welcome, the Que of the Spirit Master walks confidently. And on Kue’s back, the spirit knights guarded the spirit master without any gaps and sprinkled sharp eyes.
Citizens utter a shout of respect and adoration towards such people.
If you look closely, you can see that they arrived in the city with the spiritists. Adventurers and travelers who follow them, the upper ranks and their escorts are following them like a march.
Eventually, Du-du-du-du— from the opposite direction of the Spirit Master’s group, a group of knights and soldiers rode on horseback with Que and quickly got off the mount and saluted the Spirit Master.
=Durdane welcomes the Spirit Master’s visit! I am Rotgars Admilion, captain of the city’s 1st garrison!=
The Spirit Sage answers, but it is hard to hear because it is buried in the surrounding shouts.
= Oh! I see, Master Kleihi! We, the 1st Guards, will accompany the Spirit Master!=
Is it performed Since it’s so noisy, I’ll have no choice but to guide you to the lord’s castle.
Norn just stared blankly at this series of events as if he couldn’t understand it, but Hwanyeon looked at the surroundings in an almost festive manner and poked his cheek and giggled.
「Wow, Spirit Saga was so popular. But I don’t think our Seongjenim has ever been so welcomed in the city. How do you feel?”
As Hwanin laughed, Hwanyeon laughed and hid himself in his inner pocket.
Norn whines as he pulls his hand as if he is bored now.
「Hwanin. I’m hungry.”
“Okay. It’s time for Isilite to prepare dinner, so let’s go back.”
Hwan-in looked at the spirit priests who were walking away for a while and then returned to Yuja Hotel, but the excitement was the same here.
= Oh, brother! Did you see A spirit priest came to the village!=
“Look at him. Hey, are you excited about the news of the arrival of the Spirit Master in front of Seongjae-nim?」
As soon as he entered the living room, Hwan-yeon scolded A-young for making a fuss, and A-young smiled and stuck to Hwan-in’s side, crossing her arms.
= Something is strange~. Isn’t it a really rare chance to meet by chance in the city like this?=
“That’s right.”
= The atmosphere of the hotel was also somewhat exhilarating. The soul master I visited this time seemed to have considerable skills among the regular soul masters.=
Her ghost said calmly to Anne, who accepted her coat in place of Isilite who was cooking.
“Cleich Castehill. She currently sees her as a Spirit Master most likely to be promoted to Spirituality. She is also famous for being a saintly woman who chooses and searches only dangerous areas.”
= Oh! Are you Kleigh? Wow, I can understand the commotion outside.=
=Anne, do you know her?=
= I’ve only heard rumors, but I’ve never met him in person. Hey welcome. Did you see Kleihi-sama in person? How was it?=
“How was it? She was a soul mate worse than Hwanin.”
= Don’t say such obvious things. What was the mood of the Spirit Master and the Spirit Knights?
“I don’t know~ I’m not interested.”
=Eg.=
= Sister. Could Kleihi-nim have sex misfortune today? If so, I would like to see a little bit.
= Ugh. I don’t think the chances are that great… If possible, I would also like to meet Mr. Kleihi.=
A slightly joyous atmosphere permeates the living room, similar to being swept up in a festive mood.
When the outside of the room becomes a little noisy, Yurpa comes out of the room, and Kim Chul-soo and Kim Young-soo from the next room come to dinner, making it even more noisy.
“Sisters. Did you hear that a famous spiritist has come to visit you? Oh, Hwanin-hyung. Have you been there!”
“Did you come!!”
“Okay.”
=Unnies~ The food is going out soon, so please set the tableware~.=
“Uh? We’ll do it!”
Cheol-soo Kim and Young-soo Kim smile at the delicious scent that fills the living room with the women preparing the meal with more excitement than usual, perhaps because of the cheerful atmosphere outside.
At Hwanin’s suggestion, as soon as I took out the drink and prepared a glass, Isilite and Baek Ryeo-gang’s painstakingly prepared dishes began to appear one after another.
“Ooh!”
“It looks especially delicious today?!”
The atmosphere heats up as the delicacies are prepared using Durdane’s specialties such as stone mushrooms, rock meat, lava eels and lava crayfish.
Including Kim Cheol-soo and Kim Young-soo, there are 11 people, and food prepared to the extent that the upper legs bend, even alcohol and drinks.
At this point, wouldn’t it be okay to call it a small banquet?
The party enjoyed a hearty meal in an exciting atmosphere after a long time.
After dinner, Cheol-soo Kim and Young-soo Kim go back to their rooms, and after a while.
“Isilite and Anne prepare to go out for a while.”
When it was time to go to bed, Hwanin called two of his girlfriends while putting on Cheonleung’s coat.
=Where are you going?=
“I’m going to see Kleihi’s soul master.”
The two of them opened their eyes slightly at his story, and immediately packed up the clothes and equipment they had taken off and put on a cloak with a deceptive hood.
The three of them, who had received the secret technique of stealth and presence reduction from Yurpa, headed for the lord’s castle on Norn, Silu, and Jellfree.
It’s a deep night.
Until this time, no one was wandering around, and the knights and soldiers patrolling the streets had not been able to penetrate the 7th-level mystic’s secret arts, so the three of them were able to reach the drawbridge in front of the lord’s castle without any hindrance.
= Who are you? Reveal your identity.=
Hwanin, who canceled the secret arts near the gate, lightly revealed his identity to the knights guarding the gate.
=Seo, Seongjae, Seongjae?!=
Although they were warned not to speak out, the news that a distinguished guest of great status had visited in the morning had also been passed on to the knights.
The knights didn’t know that the honored guest would be the holy rite of Asin-wie, who made the Nionebres continent lively, and moreover, they never expected to visit at night like this.
“I visited for a while to meet Mr. Kleihi. May I ask for a message inside?”
Even though he was frozen in the brilliant golden aura of the Holy Emperor for a while, the knights, trying hard to hide their astonishment, led the Hwanin to the private room where the Kleihi Spirit Corps stayed.
= That’s it. I’ve put a message inside, so Kleihi’s soul master will be waiting for you.=
Pass close to the free pass from the entrance.
Should this be regarded as a separate instruction from Prince Darug in preparation for his own visit?
“Thank you for the guidance.”
=Bye, don’t say anything…=
As Hwanin and his party reached the private room across the beautiful small garden, the spirit knights standing guard outside saluted as they stood firm at the visit of Seongje and his party.
=Welcome to Hwanin Seongje!=
=Welcome to Hwanin Seongje!=
“Sorry for the rude visit late at night. Since we are leaving early tomorrow, it seemed like there would be no other way to tell the story, so I had no choice but to visit.”
= Yes, old. Kleihi is waiting inside. Eat it =
As soon as Hwanin entered the door opened by the spirit knight, he could see Kleihi standing in the living room dressed in the robe of the spirit master.
As his eyes met, as if Cleigh had been waiting, Sosogo put his hands together and bowed on his knees.
=The wandering little lamp of Yeongdo greets the Holy Emperor, the lighthouse of the God of Mercy.=
“Me and Kleihi-nim are just the same lamp of the God of Mercy. This courtesy is too much.”
As she knelt down and lifted her bow, holding her arm, she was ecstatic that her hand touched her body, and she couldn’t even meet her gaze at all. As her great saint and her peers.
Only then will we be able to talk for a long time or even do six-day visits.
The longer he stays here, the more Cleich and his party can’t rest.
Even her soul knights are standing side by side against the wall in full battle attire, not moving.
Hwanin calmed the tension and surprise of Kleihi and her spirit knights by spreading out her new wave of tranquility and quickly got to the point.
“It is judged that Cleich’s next destination is the capital Passage. Are my expectations correct?”
=Yes. A prediction was delivered from the agency that a large number of deaths would occur in the capital city due to flood damage approaching 8 months. So, after 4 days of sexual misfortune in Durdane, we are going to head to the capital.
“I know it’s not polite for me to say this to Kleihi, a high-ranking soul attendant, but I have no choice but to give it to you nonetheless. Stop your schedule to the capital and head south when Durdane’s sexual misfortune is over.”
=I will follow the command of the Holy Emperor.=
“…”
Seeing her willing to follow without even asking why, Hwanin was speechless for a moment, but she smiled softly and lightly stroked Clay He’s pointed golden fox ears.
