Chapter 84 – 082 Small Town Wayford
‘Everywhere people live is the same.’
The people of Yulkam and Etbruk were too naive, and Susa and the others were too common sense, so he was an illusionist who thought this world might be a decent place to live.
=Really. Why would we lie?=
Haha.=
The hyena-headed guard shed a sneer-tinged mockery and then straightened up.
=To believe now that two 3rd and 4th class warriors captured a 5th class Urger?=
= It is…….=
= Oh, you talk so much! It’s noisy and all the load is off, man! You guys are intensive inspections!=
The complexion of the people who waited for the hyena’s head to pass by now and then is colored with annoyance.
The four guards in charge of the inspection are conducting inspection and search in a team of two.
If one of the two groups is tied up, it will inevitably take twice as long to get through the gates.
= Oh really…… =
=I have to go in quickly, but it’s annoying.=
= Do it quickly…….=
A gaze of accusation directed at them, not at the guards. Hwanin took off his hood and spoke to the guards with an emotionless face and voice.
“Would you please wait a moment?”
=What are you?=
“I did.”
=What?=
“I am saying that I have captured Urgur.”
The hyena-headed guard glanced at Urger in the luggage compartment for a moment, then took one look at the smooth-faced man like Fleur, and a familiar sneer flashed across her face.
= Hey, Klanga. Did you hear He said he captured Urgur alone. Kkkk.=
= Kwk kwk. Wouldn’t it be more realistic to say that the 3rd or 4th grade nerds caught it?=
Hwanin silently stared at the two guards who mocked and giggled.
In Hwanin’s head, the plan to feed the guard in front of him a big taffy has already been completed.
Whether it’s a hyena-headed guard or a greyhound-headed guard, the moment one of them performs a specific action, the plan begins.
The senior guards in charge of guarding the first north gate of Wayford frowned.
I don’t know why, but I felt uneasy.
When the hyena-headed guard only rolled her eyeballs, she learned the reason for her reluctance.
Like the reaction of the dark-haired man who stared at him silently despite the mockery……. Why are those cheetahs and warrior women looking at them with pitiful eyes?
The porters in the luggage compartment are praying while drawing the sign of the cross.
Why?
It was the moment when the hyena-headed guard showed her teeth and tried to shout at her, thinking that she would be pushed away from her spirit.
“Mouth.”
= This…… !?=
The moment she was about to scream at the top of her voice, these cubs, the hyena-human was speechless as if her breath had been choked by a single word that pierced her ear.
As if your heart is blocked by a louder voice the moment you try to say something, everyone will have experienced at least once in their life that words do not come out when you try to speak.
Hwanin more intelligently used the tactic to block the mouth of the hyena-headed guard, then raised his index finger and quietly brought it to her mouth.
=…… ?=
=…… ?=
Silence is contagious.
As the two guards calmed down in embarrassment, the people around the wagon also fell silent, and in an instant, the eastern gate fell into an unnatural silence.
Hwanin said softly with a faint smile on his lips that showed no emotion.
“There is nothing easier and simpler than a proof of strength. You two…… Do you really think I’m lying?”
=…….=
=…….=
The hyena-headed guard sensed something was wrong with the animal’s keen instincts.
Looking closely, I saw a man with dark hair, wearing a leather outfit that was a level of sophistication that was hard to get in normal hands.
That horned cane standing at an angle in the front passenger seat also looked a little out of the ordinary, and more than anything.
‘Such noble words are said to be used by a tradesman?’
He’s not even a professional, but he’s skilled enough to catch Urgur alone.
An accent with a noble tone and knowledge that I have never heard before.
Costumes that look expensive even at first glance, and a cane with a strange feeling.
If even one of those things were missing, they would have been called a swindler and thrown into a dungeon for obstructing public affairs.
No, the result came out that he was a person who should not be treated carelessly with his head, but he was in a self-contradictory situation where he could not accept the result because of his pride.
In fact, as long as it is revealed that Hwanin is a spirit master, everything will be solved and the road to the castle lord of Wayford will be pierced with a free pass.
In other words, this situation happened because Hwanin, who wanted to collect information quietly and unhindered before getting involved in politics, asked Susa for his understanding in advance.
And if it was usual, it would have passed normally without Hwanin revealing that he was a soul.
If there is a problem, the inspector in charge of the party was a greedy hyena-headed guard, and if all the corpses were disposed of, a few gold coins would come out of Urger, and the corpse was not a combat group such as mercenaries, adventurers, or explorers, but a merchant party. That you had
In other words, it was a situation brought about by the greed of the head of the hyena, who could extort silver coins, perhaps ten silver coins, his salary for several months, as a bribe if he was caught.
Susa noticed the guard’s hesitation.
When this situation becomes serious, annoying things happen between each other. Thinking that Hwanin wouldn’t want it, Susa quickly got off the wagon and gently coaxed the hyena-headed guard.
= Come over here for a while and talk. It’s embarrassing for other people to hear……. Come on, this is it.=
And Isilite, who was watching all of this, got off Kue and followed Susa.
If he was in a normal state, he would have been a hyena guard who would have waved his fist at him, saying, “What kind of bullshit is this?”
Before Isilite reached her gates, she had been warned by Brillit several times.
She said, ‘Servant, a maid must not speak in front of her master, nor talk about her master’s occupation, she said. But she said that in a situation where the master is going to be insulted, she must stop the insult from the master.’
This is the situation where the master is insulted, right? It happened that Susa also dragged this poor dog’s head to a quiet place…….
Arriving in the shadows of the guard tower, Susa glanced back inadvertently, but when she found Isilite, she blinked her eyes. And he backed away a little while hesitating at Isilite’s beckoning to her to leave it to him.
Isilite said to her watchful guard.
=You should know that we were able to live thanks to you.=
= What are you talking about…….=
= You still don’t know? Me and Susa saved you from almost falling into the abyss because of your stupid mistake.
The hyena-headed guard’s eyes widened.
What? Fall into hell? To my actions? What is that person’s true identity? …… Aaaaah wait a minute? Did you say something wrong? In hell?
=Standing, standing?=
= Mr. Isilite. What are you talking about!=
= Oh, lower your voice! Others will listen!=
= What are you going to do if you reveal what he asked you to hide? Seriously! Oh, I’m a fool for believing in you…….=
=Mlhzmlug…….=
What do you mean by this?
Susa bit her lip and covered her face with both hands, troubled by the sight of Isilite growling.
Accepting that as a declaration of surrender, Isilite snorts softly and calmly speaks to the frozen guards.
=My master wants to go quietly, really quietly……. You know that too What kind of tendencies are they?
Nod…… Nod nod!!
=The owner is not only that, but also really strong, and that…… Know? That…… I mean you are very much loved. Huh? If I said one word to the owner wrong…… You know?=
Rattle.
=Okay, take this.=
= Huh, wait…… Wait show! Me, i…… !=
The guard shook his head in amazement at the ten copper coins that fell on his hand.
= Shhh……. It’s okay, because this is for us to get along well, ah~, and happily part ways while laughing.
=…… !=
=I’m glad you received this and are safe, we’re glad we passed without incident, and I’m glad the master didn’t get caught up in the anguish, huh?=
=…….=
=If you just keep your mouth shut and send it away as if you haven’t seen the owner, it’ll be over. Of course, you haven’t seen Master since then.=
=…… I, is that really enough?=
= Then what? Cursed by him, to die and fall into hell…… ?=
Whoops.
= Look at me I am the living witness you can trust.=
=Muh, what do you mean, that?=
= You know, what do you ask? Are you going to keep acting like a newbie?=
The hyena-headed guard glanced at the woman in front of her. Looking at it now, rather than escorting her, she looked like she was stealing somewhere.
=…… Egg… I will. =
Susa’s eyes widened as Isilite coaxed and placated the rotten guards with her eloquent words and let go of her threats to take her soul away.
Then, she immediately remembered Isilite’s former job and nodded her head slightly.
Former thief boss. And a rotten guard who loves money.
‘It must be Yuyusangjong.’
She mentioned the Alpensis Company and tried to talk about what kind of person the Hwanin was, sneaking away about Urger’s attack.
The yard came a little far to end the situation already. In order to overcome this situation without incident, I had no choice but to show that much back or strength.
‘This time, Mr. Issilite handled it well.’
Since the guards belong to the castle lord of Wayford, it’s good to end it like this unless you want to make a big problem.
Admitting that he had done the job more neatly than he did, although he was slightly offended, Susa gave Isilite the thumbs up as he trailed the guards back to the gate.
Trouble at the gates created tension like a bomb on fire, but…….
=Passed.=
It ended without incident, as if such tension had never occurred.
As if nothing had happened, the hyena guards who returned formally figured out the personal information of Susa, Hwanin, and the party, and then received the toll and passed them through, and the procession behind them quickly passed, passed, passed, as if to compensate for the delayed time. Passed all
When all the people who were curious about something going on nearby and annoyed that they might get caught up in something bothersome went in, the front of the north gate, where there was an unusual atmosphere, became noisy as always.
Entering a street resembling a medieval townscape in Arab or Europe, Hwanin inquired while examining the surrounding landscape.
“What conversation did you have with the guard?”
Haha……. To my shame, nothing I did. Mr. Isilite just roasted and boiled the guards with amazing skill.=
Hearing everything, Hwanin looked back at Isilite, who was moving next to the luggage compartment as if guarding a wagon.
Isilite’s eyes met, and he seemed to be asking what was going on, so when he nodded slightly, she smiled as if she thought it was a compliment.
Turning his gaze forward, Hwanin thought about the scenery of the city, where the shape of the windows, the shape of the entrance, and the shape of the walls were all different, as if each building boasted its own personality.
‘It’s not bad to end it like this.’
Hwanin acts as if he does not know the word suitable. He puts up with trouble to a certain extent, but when the level exceeds a certain point, Hwanin turns the table over without a word.
Hwanin is a human who sets fire to a thatched house to catch mice.
There is a weapon that can be used more conveniently than on Earth, but Hwanin’s judgment is that it is feasible enough to turn the city upside down.
‘Communication with the soul became possible. If the dissatisfied soul is roasted and boiled with words, it may turn into a mixture.’
Contrary to purifying and attaining Buddhahood through words, could it not be possible to turn it into a mixture?
Coexistence, if used well, is tantamount to biochemical terrorism.
If you succeed, the city may fall into chaos, and the city itself may be ruined.
I assumed that there might be other spirit warriors besides myself, since the name is city-level, but looking at the reaction of the guards, it doesn’t seem like that, so the effect must be certain.
However…….
‘I need some more information.’
Terrorism can be committed more perfectly and neatly only when there is a general knowledge of society.
Right now, his level of knowledge is only the upper grades of elementary school, and if he takes good care of him, he is only at the level of middle school students. Securing knowledge is a priority.
And an experiment to see if souls can really be turned into hybrids.
Hwanin, obsessed with one subject, thought about how to cleanly destroy Wayford, where hundreds of thousands of citizens live. He suddenly felt a shadow and raised his head.
Walls appeared again within the city. It’s lower than the outer wall, but it’s still a decent wall.
The moment the walls were sighted, the chances of success in the plan to overthrow Wayford using confluence were cut in half.
This is why basic knowledge is required.
‘The distance from the outer wall to the inner wall is almost 1 km…… I’m sure it’s not a lie that the population is about 200,000.’
The quality of the guards at the gates of the inner wall was different from that of the gates of the outer wall.
The guards on the outer wall were regular soldiers wearing chain armor with long spears, swords and shields, but the guards on the inner walls were knights wearing iron plate armor.
The attitude was also very common sense.
While figuring out the type of luggage, he also checked Urge’s corpse, but the guards at the inner gate proceeded with the inspection process without blinking an eye.
=Please submit your pass as well.=
= Oops. Guard, that is the person our Susa Trading Co. Guarantees. I am going to visit the administrative officer on this road to issue an ID card and sign a subordination contract. Yes.=
=Is this your ID? Well……. Okay. We will issue a temporary pass. The deadline is until tomorrow evening, so please complete the application for issuance of the pass in the meantime.=
= Thank you. Here is the cost of issuing a temporary ID.=
=Confirmed.=
Hwanin, who received a metal plaque tinged with a faint yellow color, bowed to the guards who moved in a thoroughly businesslike manner, and then got on the wagon again with Susa.
Hwanin, who entered the inner castle after completing the procedure, felt that the atmosphere was different from that of the outer castle.
First of all, the building’s floor height was 1-2 stories higher than the outer wall, the materials of the building were luxurious, and the atmosphere felt like a wealthy village unlike the outer wall, which was like a market.
The passers-by were also dressed luxuriously, and the wagons and wagons traveling on the road were much more sophisticated.
Above all, the districts were organized like a city on Earth, and the sidewalks and roads were divided, and there were trees along the roadside that looked like streetlights.
Adding to the exaggeration, it feels like standing in an old city in Europe.
“Is this a place where the middle class and above live?”
= It is as you said. Wayford is divided into three districts, and in the center is, of course, the castle of Aldgin Berenim, a baron. And the first residential area surrounding the castle is the residence of the high class. It is a mansion only for the noble class, where no commercial buildings can be built.=
The volume of the first area is the size of a village. Next is midtown, the main street, which is now entered. The volume is the size of a village.
=It is divided into three districts: residential, commercial, educational and association. It’s kind of a wealthy rich neighborhood. Weapons, armor, tools, and various commercial stores are also available in the general area, but the high-end stores are located in the central commercial district, and training centers, military officers, occupational associations, occupational groups, and municipal buildings are also located here. It’s literally the heart of Wayford.=
“Is that the only educational institution?”
= Yes? Well, if you pay the education fee to a military officer, training center, or vocational association, you can receive any kind of education.=
Hwanin had asked about basic education or compulsory education, but Susa’s answer was nonsensical.
Realizing that this world education consciousness is at the level of the Middle Ages, Hwanin laughed inwardly.
‘Is this why people have mysteries or fantasies about the soul?’
At that time, Susa pointed to a large 4-story building made of red bricks, like a high-end European building, and explained, =That is Alpensis Co.=.
Certainly, there is an open entrance for wagons to come and go on the first floor, and a lot of people come and go, which feels similar to a delivery distribution center.
“Aren’t you going to visit Alpensis Trading Co.?”
Haha. That’s something I can do alone. For now, the first thing to do is to dispose of this Urger corpse.=
And the explanation of the last area continued.
=The general area is literally here, where everyone who couldn’t enter the main street gathers. There are some high-class streets in the general area, but they don’t reach it. Even if you step out of the zone just a little bit, you’ll end up with a bad quality space.=
Susa explained that the surroundings of the main road connecting the outer and inner gates were clean and of a decent standard, but if you go further away from the main road and go to the corner toward the outer wall, a slum spreads out, and that you shouldn’t go there.
While listening carefully to the explanation, Hwanin, who had his eyes on the scenery of the main street, suddenly had one spot that caught his attention, so he muttered while looking at it.
“It looks like a cemetery over there.”
= Oh, that’s right. How did you find out? Those who first visit the center of Wayford mistake it for a flower garden.=
“You see a lot of soul.”
=…… Uh, um.=
Susa scratched her cheek in embarrassment and said with a smile.
= It is a place where no one can enter. There are four flower garden cemeteries in the center, and all of them are accessible only to the family of the person buried in the cemetery, or to the keeper and gravekeepers. Hwanin said that…… If you reveal your occupation, you will of course be able to enter.=
Hwanin quietly nodded his head without answering.
Once you’ve gathered enough information to your satisfaction, you’d better reveal your profession and visit the tomb.
‘Or, say it privately and then ask for confidentiality.’
