Chapter 86 – 084 Small Town Wayford
The guard of the 1st Inner Gate, the passageway connecting the main street and Gojok Street, was different from that of the 2nd Inner Gate.
The second inner gate wore a mixture of plate armor and chain mail, but they were wearing complete full plate armor.
In addition, it is a faint but professional person with an aura.
Isilite was surprised to see it, her mouth slightly open.
She was a two-in-one group of two guards, and only one of them was her job, but it was a shocking surprise to her that she was using her job as her guard.
‘It has many similarities to the plate armor of Europe in the late Middle Ages.’
Plate armor for non-cavalry infantry is classified as a mass-produced type. For this reason, there are many forms where only the knees or shins are protected, but the guard in front of you was wrapped in sheet metal all over.
Moreover, it has a strong sense of customization tailored to the curves of the body, perhaps because the appearance is more important than performance.
The sabaton also has a blunt appearance like a shoe, not a pointed tip.
The guard, who looked like a knight with gray hair neatly tied, said while checking the temporary pass submitted by Hwanin.
=It’s for issuing an ID card. Has confirmed. If you go straight along the main street, you will see an administrative officer, so you can get your ID card issued there. And never leave the boulevard. This is a warning.=
Hwanin, who received the temporary pass back and nodded, passed the guards and entered Gojok Street, which was more paved than the main street.
‘It feels like an American rich village.’
There were no carriages and few passers-by on the main road, and there were no shops or stalls.
All I could see was a waist-high wall, or beyond the shrubbery, two or three story high, stylish mansions and gardens.
The mansion is also a large mansion with a size of hundreds of pyeong that can only be seen in high-end residential areas in the United States.
At the banquet of the grand mansion, Isilite looks around her in admiration.
= And……. It’s amazing to use a professional as a guard, but the inside is even more grand. But why did you tell me not to leave the main street?=
“It must mean not to spoil the dignity of the street.”
=Yes?=
Isilite, who did not understand her answer itself, was explained by her Hwanin in a more understandable way.
“It means that the privileged do not want ordinary people to pollute the streets they walk on.”
=…… Really? You mean you can’t even walk?=
Hwanin put a slight sneer at Isilite’s behavior as she looked around the street with a sad expression on her lips.
“I guess you haven’t experienced the possessiveness, self-consciousness, and chosen people of rich people yet.”
= Master. What are self-consciousness and chosen people?=
“…….”
Looking at Isilite walking beside her, she slightly raises her eyebrows like a wild beast, as if ‘I really don’t know.’
Hwanin saw her sleeping with her head on her bosom, her voluptuous breasts, and looked at her in front of her.
“I am a soul. I know how to fight, and I can even apply.”
=Yes.=
Not quite. I have a chimney-like desire to point out that point, but I calmly wait for the next story.
“To become conscious of oneself through experiences like this is self-consciousness. And imagine kicking and punching you and cursing at you, asking how dare you walk next to a thief.”
= The owner won’t do that…….=
“I would have said imagination.”
=…….=
“In that way, it is called the chosen people idea that a person who lives exceptionally well and a person with a high social status goes beyond the attitude of looking down on and despising a person of a relatively low level and takes it for granted and has a sense of superiority.”
=So, it is said that the idea of the chosen people is for someone who thinks I am good to bully people who are poorer than him. Wow, the people who live here are very bad.=
“Maybe not.”
=…… ?=
“Maybe it’s to guard against people who like to steal other people’s things or people who dirty the streets.”
Hwanin seemed to be able to see Isilite’s head as she scratched her head.
So you’re saying he’s a bad guy or not?
Hwanin, who had no intention of answering, crossed the road as wide as the main road and looked at the huge gate with a moat and drawbridge in the distance.
It is a huge castle gate that is almost 20m high.
‘It’s literally a castle.’
What kind of lifestyle is the owner of the castle creating? Feeling like the Middle Ages? Or is it a mix of modern and medieval times?
While I was thinking, I started to see a three-story white marble building next to the drawbridge.
It is a government office style building that is clearly distinguished from other mansions.
In front of it, there is a small park decorated with trees, flowers, and fountains, and if you see people in aristocratic clothes entering and exiting the marble building…….
“Looks like an administrator over there.”
= Wow. It is marble.=
Before entering the magistrate, Hwanin, who had called Isilite to her stop near the fountain, opened her mouth.
“Originally, I wouldn’t have asked such a thing. However, I will ask you one last question because I received one from Abet personally and the determination you showed until you came to Wayford. Think carefully and answer.”
=Yes, yes.=
“Will you continue to serve me? Or will you find your way?”
Isilite looked at her with an expression of incomprehension at the moment, and Hwanin added her explanation as she looked back at the large fountain where her horses and women were dynamically sculpted.
“If you’re going to find your way, I’ll forget what happened and let you go. I ask Susa-san to help me make a living with a proper job instead of being a thief.”
Isilite hurriedly tried to say something, so Hwanin raised her hand to cover her mouth and opened her eyes sharply.
=Hiccup.=
She hiccups in surprise and continues to speak to Isilite.
“But if you choose to come after me, I cannot guarantee your life. It currently has a number of objectives, but one of them is high-level labyrinth exploration. At your level right now, it wouldn’t be strange if you died at any time.”
=…….=
At first, Isilite tried to shout ‘I’ll follow you even if I die!’ To impress Hwanin on reflex, but in her Hwanin’s story, sincerity she had never felt before reached deep into her heart and she kept her mouth shut.
And she was deeply immersed in her own thoughts.
What do I want to do, how do I want to do it?
The master made Abet, who was in a mixed state, a Buddha, and blessed him several times, so he won’t fall into the abyss.
If you want to live a normal, comfortable life, you can choose the former, but…….
Isilite’s voice filled with determination flowed into Hwanin’s ears as he listened to the babbling sound of running water.
=I will follow the master.=
“Even if the end you will face is death while traveling?”
= I’m not really smart. Stupid and unlearned. Still…… Abet even told the master to stick with him…… If I hadn’t met my master that day, I would have died from being stabbed in the back on the street, being cut myself by meeting an unexpectedly strong man, being captured by the regular army and hanging from the wall of the castle.
“…….”
=A death like that would be a dog death that doesn’t get anyone’s attention. But if I die while exploring the labyrinth with my master…… A beggar girl from a filthy slum ends up dying as a maid for a spirit priest. It’s a death that many people acknowledge. Even if I die, I want to die by my master’s side.=
“Is that so? Do whatever you want.”
=Yes!=
With Hwanin’s permission, Isilite, who smiled happily and followed, moved to the administrator’s office.
My heart was a little complicated.
According to Ssana Brillit, Issil Lee Tei was not good at deceiving others. So she just found out that the story was all true, but Hwanin felt strange.
Even if she dies, she wants to die by her own side.
“…….”
After getting rid of her thoughts of deepening, Hwanin, who entered the administration building, took a look at the interior, similar to a community center, and proceeded with the identity registration process for herself and Isilite.
As her guarantor, she received Susa’s letter of introduction, a temporary pass, and a pale purple metal plaque the size of two fingers and 40 silver coins, the cost of issuing a temporary pass, in exchange for a registration fee of 50 silver coins per person, one gold coin. .
The metal plate, about 1 millimeter thick, had the date of issue, the location of issue, and the name of the owner written on it. At the bottom, the name of the guarantor, Susa, and the seal of Aldjin Beret, a 4th-class baron, were stamped small.
‘Is it a dog tag?’
Recalling the damn thing he wore around his neck while serving in the military, Hwanin looked back as he felt his sleeves being pulled as he was about to leave the administrative office.
Isilite says, pointing to the magistrate with her slightly perplexed face.
=Master, I did not make a unilateral subordination contract.=
“Not required.”
Took, Isilite, who was staring blankly at her Hwanin who left the magistrate after wiping her hands, ran after her and asked her with a puzzled face.
= Why, why? What will you do if I betray you?=
“Are you going to betray me?”
=I won’t!=
“That’s it.”
Is it…… ? This is not the Isilite you used to do! She snapped back to her senses and she asked again.
= Master, why did you suddenly change her mind? =
Hwanin had put Isilite to the test.
If Isilite had asked her to release her question, she would have let her go as she wished. As she said, she must have asked for a job through Susa and shared some of her money.
She said she would follow, and if she had answered immediately without much hesitation, she would have taken her with her.
By entering into a unilateral contract of subordination.
However, Isilite showed her own serious thinking in her own way.
And she revealed all of her thoughts.
It was for that reason.
Just as she had a good relationship with emergency food, which was a relationship between prey and predator at first, a kind of capricious mind to trust Isilite for once.
“I decided to trust you once.”
=…… !=
Of course, Hwan-in, whose doubts are her daily life, has no choice but to completely trust others.
It is also the chosen option because it is more comfortable to have a relationship where you can give and receive some level of trust and trust than a relationship that is just suspicious and suspicious.
There is no doubt that Isilite had earned some trust.
Returning to the Olts Hotel, Hwan-in immediately had the hotel maid prepare a bath, and after three months, he was able to enjoy the pleasure of washing her body.
“Whoa…….”
Soaking your body in hot water and lying in the bathtub with your arms outstretched, all kinds of thoughts and worries disappear.
=Isn’t the water temperature hot?=
“It is suitable.”
Responding to the hotel maid who waited on the bath next to her, Hwanin closed his eyes and placed his legs on the edge of the bathtub at her feet.
In the meantime, I had been wiping my body every day with a towel soaked in water, but it was an unsatisfactory time for Hwanin, who still has the sensibilities of modern people.
‘You have to soak your body in this hot water after all. Even if I can’t, I want to take a shower every day…….’
In order to do that, I will also have to buy a house. Or stay at an inn or hotel that has a bath system like this.
The maid at the hotel who was beside her, adjusting the temperature of the water and massaging her arms and shoulders, carefully lifted her Hwanin’s head and placed it on her upper breastbone, then pressed her neck, shoulders, and temples. As she presses down on her massage, she asks in a soft voice.
= Guest. There are paid service items on the market…… Would you like to try it?=
Judging from the soft touch on the back of the head, it must have been something like a paid service.
“Interesting. But we will have to postpone it to another opportunity.”
A Victorian maid in her maid cap pretended to massage her phantom’s forehead with a wistful expression, pressing her phantom’s head against her own breasts, she said.
= It’s a pity……. Do you really need to call me then? I will serve you wholeheartedly.=
“What is the name of the lady?”
=Wenna.=
“I will remember it.”
Her beast ears were hidden by the maid cap, and her tail was also hidden by a long skirt that emphasized her neatness, but her voluminous blonde hair and the teardrop under her left eye made her a flamboyant young lady.
Of course, her appearance is also a bit above average in this world. It was an offer that she had no reason to refuse from Hwanin’s point of view, as the warmth in her lower belly is sufficient, but she has to visit her Susa’s house after a while.
After Hwanin came out of the bath, Isilite also went in and washed up, and when they both finished getting ready to go out, Susa came out to meet her in a carriage as if it was just the right time.
It is a wagon, not a wagon. A luxury wagon similar to the wagons seen when escaping from Lehill.
Upon entering the door opened by the coachman, Susa, dressed like a 16th-century European male aristocrat, smiled and gestured in front of her.
= Oh! You bought a new hooded cloak. Indeed…… To buy from a famous brand in the city, as expected, Hwanin-nim’s eyesight is not normal.=
Isilite, who climbed after Susa’s father, frowned and scolded him.
=Stop flattering, you flatterer. I went into a dressmaker I saw on the road and bought it. What brand is it?
= Uh-huh! Have you lived a life of deception? When it comes to Luardo’s dressmaker, it is one of the brands that even the nobles on the streets order! …… Anyway, after washing and putting on nice clothes, it’s enough to not stain Hwanin-nim’s face.
= Yes? Glad =
=…….=
I expected it to be heated and added an afterword, but when the honest response came back, Susa made a puzzled expression.
“Susa-san, your clothes look great too.”
= No. Sophistication is just a ridiculous outfit that can’t even keep up with Hwanin-nim’s toes.
He laughed shyly, but the white boots that came up to his knees, green wide pants, and a vest and coat on top of it seemed like a 16th century stage costume itself.
‘I really wonder who spread such outfits.’
The carriage moved westward along the main street, and the Susa house they arrived at was not a mansion on Gojok Street, but it was a decently luxurious mansion with 3 stories high, high walls and 15 rooms.
While peddling, I got the impression that he was living quite well from the occasional story about his personal life, and it was as expected.
After getting off the carriage that stopped at the entrance of the mansion and entering the front door, a small hall appears and eight servants and eight maids standing side by side in front of the door bow their heads.
Between them, two women and two children, standing in the center of the hall, came closer.
One is Brillet, wearing light riding breeches. The other is a fragile-looking beauty in a dress reminiscent of the Victorian era.
Her quick-moving Susa stood between them and bowed her back, placing one hand on her chest.
=Welcome. Welcome to visit, Mr. Hwanin.=
=Welcome to visit.=
=Welcome to visit.=
“Thank you for your gracious hospitality.”
Hwanin, who was looking at the women and boys and girls bowing her waist with her Susa, puts her hand on her chest and bows lightly.
= It’s been a while since we broke up, and it’s embarrassing to say this, but I’m so glad to see you like this. I’m really happy to be able to invite Hwanin.=
“No. There is someone who invites me with such a good heart, so I feel like my loneliness in a foreign country is going away a little. But what about the people next to you?”
= My family. This is Anne Flint, my wife. Brillitt knows that well. And this one here is the eldest son, Jileu, and the little lady here is Eara, my children. Ann, Zileu, and Eara. This is Hwanin-nim, whom I met on this trip. You are a noble traveler on the path of the spirit. Greetings =
After Susa’s introduction, the beautiful woman introduced as her wife bowed her back deeply, feeling soft but slightly powerless.
= This is Anne Flint. Thank you for saving her husband from a crisis several times. =
Anne Flint’s appearance up close was not weakness, but weakness itself.
She wore her hair up in full curls, the color of the ripe rice of her fields in the fall, and her make-up seemed to be a little heavy, but that didn’t hide her pale complexion.
Furthermore…….
‘Your warmth is only 1/4 of that of other women. Does a lack of innate warmth make you sick?’
But she was as good as her looks. She is one of the few women I have ever seen in this world.
= Hello. This is Aira.=
=It’s Jileu!=
The two boys and girls were round cheetah-haired boys like kittens crying as if to prove that they were children of Susa and Anne Flint, and Eara was a girl whose beauty began to be revealed even though she was still young, resembling Anne Flint.
“Nice to meet you. I am Hwanin.”
When I lowered the hood of the hooded cloak and said hello, Susa’s children let out a small exclamation with their eyes sparkling.
But was it embarrassing to speak up? The children who make eye contact with Hwanin hide behind Ann Flint’s skirt and only stick out her head.
Laughinghahaat the cute faces of her children, Susa led Hwanin with a respectful and careful attitude.
=Now, let’s not stand here like this, let’s go to the dining room. Today, the wives and cooks worked hard for Hwanin-nim. I hope the food prepared will suit Hwanin-nim’s taste.=
“I can’t wait to see what your cooking skills will be like.”
We arrived at the dining room, which was furnished to seat 10 people.
The intricate carpet-patterned wallpaper, based on reddish brown, receives light from a small chandelier on the ceiling, giving Hwanin a unique sense of space.
There was a 5m long rectangular dining table in the center of the room, and the food served on it was at a level that did not match the words that it was a little forceful.
There is no lake or sea nearby, but a large fish the size of an adult man’s torso has been grilled and steamed, and golden turkey dishes are filled with various vegetable and fruit dishes.
Isilite asked, prodding the side of her brillette, as the interior candlesticks gave the food a luster and a more appetizing look.
=Susa was very rich?=
=Susa is a well-known celebrity in the city. Originally, he’s not the kind of person you can talk to casually. =
=My master is more powerful than Susa?=
=Spirit Spirit is great, isn’t 4 years great?=
=Haven’t you heard that a bastard from a noble family can’t be careless even in a noble family?=
=…….=
How can you say such a thing so casually?
Brillitt stared at Isilite in bewilderment, but Isilite didn’t care and just sat at the bottom of her table and stirred her body, waiting for her ghost to pick up a fork and knife.
