Chapter 375 – Correspondence
He buried the dead coachman on the roadside and made a small burial mound.
Instead of a tombstone, a twig was put up there, and Sister Vivian prayed for her rest.
“I beg you, please let him enjoy eternal rest in the bosom of the Holy Ghost.”
As she finished her prayers and drew her sign of the cross, those who had been silent for a moment also raised their heads to her.
They climbed back into the carriage one by one.
The journey had just begun – the atmosphere was already miserable.
Seo-joon’s seat was the coachman’s seat.
There was no one who could handle the wagon, and there was no one more suitable than Danggeum-Seo-Jun in the face of the danger of being attacked.
However, a blind nun approached Seo-jun and asked.
“I···. Could I have a seat next to you?”
“…Sister should be in the safest place.”
Vivian lifts her head and looks at Seo-joon.
No – the word ‘looking at’ was a bit ambiguous, but she turned her head anyway as if she was staring at him.
Beneath her pink eyelashes, wearing a neat nun’s cap, narrow purple eyes are faintly visible.
She licked her lips and answered in her small voice.
“Gee… I think it would be safest with Seo-jun.”
Seo-joon tilted his head to the side.
It was true.
However, Seo-jun felt that the reason wasn’t everything.
Maybe someone in the group made it uncomfortable?
Could it be that someone in her harassed her as her horse servant?
Seo-joon looked around the party, but he didn’t notice anything.
Karina is staring at her right now, but that’s probably because Vivian was trying to occupy the seat next to Seo-jun.
When there is no answer from Seo-joon, Vivian lowers her head and hesitates.
“Oh, can’t I…?”
“···No. There’s nothing wrong with that. Sit comfortably. So, everyone come in and sit down. Departs slowly. I will remove the doors of the wagon. If a situation arises, you can come out and respond immediately.”
After removing the door of the carriage, Seo-joon looked for traces of flaming arrows stuck in the carriage. There were only black scorched marks.
Meryl and Karina quickly extinguished the flames with cooling magic, so they were able to avoid the fire.
However, the horses were startled by the arrows that flew out of nowhere.
As Seo-Jun approached them, he kicked the dirt with his back foot while purring. A look that doesn’t hide the uncomfortable planting.
Seo-joon grabbed the mane of the largest of the three horses and slammed them into the dirt.
Then, the guy who was running wild and struggling screamed in pain.
From ancient times, beasts and people were, and hawks were medicine.
Seo-joon, who made his horses compliant, climbed into the coachman’s seat and rolled up the reins.
“Let’s go, kids.”
Cheolseook-
He slammed the reins violently.
As the horses ran – the spokes began to turn.
“`
As the name suggests, the side gates were a messy-, pest-like group.
They had no clear direction.
Through the expansion of the group and the expansion of influence – there were those who tried to control the darkness of the empire, but few of them saw that far.
Most of them were human beings who thought that it was enough to have a woman in front of them to fuck.
Just like Seojun did-.
Survival of the fittest.
The strong survive, and the survivors become the law.
That was the method of side-questioning.
There were five executives at the side gate, and each executive had a different purpose and direction.
There were those whose purpose was money and power, and there were those whose purpose was women.
There were also those who tried to destroy the Holy Kingdom.
What they have in common is that even the devil grand duke of hell is a bitch who is so terrible that he sticks out his tongue.
“Keeeee-!
I vaguely remember seeing things flying far away right now.
Those chasing Seo-jun were probably Kodomo, a monster called ‘cockroach’.
There was no particular reason why Kodomo was called a monster.
It is because he is a test subject who managed to escape after being subjected to a mad experiment by a wizard.
I understand that it was probably an experiment to insert a demon factor into a human body.
What kind of thing would a black magician do? – You might want to, but the political faction is more vicious than Sapa.
Just like Karina did to Seo-jun.
He had the vocal chords of a grotesque bird, and the sinews belonged to werewolves. Maybe it was because he had troll balls attached, but his sexual desire was no joke.
In addition to that, he was wearing monsters all over his body.
In other words, those monstrous birds must have been the pet birds he had tamed.
Seo-joon opened the lattice toward the inside of the carriage and snapped his fingers to attract attention.
“Lily, those over there—can you guess just one? Not to die Just- just enough to fall down.”
Everyone expressed doubts about Seo-joon’s question.
If you kill, you kill. Why do you ask me not to die?
“I have something to tell them.”
As Seo-jun muttered, Karina, who was sitting at the end of the carriage, screamed.
“My, I can drop it! One magic arrow…!”
“Don’t die, is that possible?”
When he asked, Karina licked her lips.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure about that. But he didn’t want to answer that he couldn’t hurt his pride…
“…It’s better for her to step out now. For Karina-sama, the time to show her skills will come later.”
Karina glances at her Lily, her eyelids quivering.
At that she flinched at her—her shoulders trembled.
“Can you?”
“···Maybe.”
When Seo-jun asks, she nods her head.
Holding her breath, she poked her head out to look at the monsters.
The distance was significant.
Knowing that there are archers and wizards on this side, the rogue birds were following them from a distance.
But Lily was just a bowman.
She was the one who practiced her ki every single day. Even with her magical powers, she is at the level of a tolerable knight.
Lily pulled out the bow stick from her body and flicked her string to check her firmness.
She then took out the flesh of her short body from the arrow sheath on her thigh and inserted it into the round cylinder-shaped extra meat (tong-ah).
Also called pyeonjeon, it is an object that flies farther—thanks to being lighter than an ordinary arrow.
Lily heard from Seo-joon how to make it and how to use it, and made several.
I didn’t know I’d be able to use it right away…
Lily braced her string and pulled it tight.
There was still a glare following her, flitting in the sky, and if she leaned out and aimed her bow, the rogue birds might escape.
So when Lily finished preparing her shot, she took a couple of deep breaths and held her breath.
Her everyone squeezed her inside to give her enough space.
They also held their breath and looked alternately at the grotesque bird and Lily in the sky.
Lily opened her eyes, which had been tightly closed, and then she stood out and took aim at a monstrous bird in an instant.
Tuwoo-!
When I let go of the string – the baby meat that had been in the extra skin cut through the air with a peeping sound.
The rogue birds belatedly flapped their wings to spread in all directions—but it was already too late.
The baby meat filled with mana flew at a terrifyingly fast speed—it pierced the bird’s wings with precision.
Pyuyu-
“Ki-yi-yi-!”
The grotesque bird flaps its wings and falls.
Quadduk- Kwajik-
Cooung…!
Since it was so large, it would have turned into a piece of meat if it had fallen as it was, but in the process of falling, it caught on a tree branch and slowed down significantly.
The feathers had fallen off and were all tattered, but the breath was clearly attached.
“I like it.”
Seojun snapped his fingers and laughed.
Everyone looked at Lily with excitement.
She showed her skills after a long time – she just laughed awkwardly.
After stopping the carriage, Seo-joon jumped from the coachman’s seat and approached Goejo, who was flapping his wings.
“Keeeeek-! Awesome! Squeak!”
Being very scared, he struggles to get away from Seo-joon.
Its hooked beak was no slouch to rip through human flesh, and its claws were as sharp as blades.
However, Seo-joon approached without hesitation and pressed his boots against the guy’s neck.
“Sister, can you heal this guy’s wounds?”
“···Yes?”
Vivian opened her mouth wide.
“I intend to return it to its owner. If I do well, I think I will be able to eat pheasants and eggs.”
Seo-joon knew better than anyone else about the desire of the owner of the rogue bird, Kodomo, the cockroach.
Seo-joon was the one who hit him the hardest.
He knew what it wanted, and at what point it was going crazy.
“And Ian, bring me a piece of parchment, because I need to write a letter.”
Seo-joon smiled as he looked down at the squeaky, wild bird.
“`
A group of men in black hoods hid in the bushes, their horses parked.
All of them were looking at someone, but the target was a man with his shoulders hunched over the back of a rock.
The man was drooling at him with his head down.
“Fuck fuck baaal-!”
The man who swears, looks back.
Red, bloodshot eyes flashed.
Everyone averted their gaze and put their heads on the floor.
“Doo, Dushik! That busty woman shot our Dushik! Dushik said wheeeee! Did you guys see it too? Did you see it!”
The man was a little short.
The way he behaved and the way he spoke was like a child.
Even so, no one ignored him.
Weight is power.
The man weighed over 200 kg and had a huge physique. It’s about the same level as a silverback gorilla.
And that wasn’t all.
There were three lungs inside the chest, which inflated and then became smaller with every breath, and the abnormally developed dental power was not enough to crush the human skull and suck the brain.
The man was called ‘The Mole’.
I had long forgotten my real name.
The mole, like the cockroach, was also subjected to experimentation by the wizard—and thanks to that, it was still able to claim itself as the cockroach’s right arm.
‘Doo-sik’, which the mole calls out over and over again, was the name of the bird that fell after being hit by an arrow shot by a woman.
They were the pet birds of Kodomo the cockroach, one of the five officers of the Side Gate.
Dushik was the most aegyo among dogs, so Kodomo cherished him very much.
If Kodomo finds out he’s dead, he might lock him up in the haunted den.
No, it will definitely be like that.
The mole tore off his hair, thumped it on the floor, and repeated the hum again.
“Uuuuu!”
“Tongue, brother. Calm down first! Bar, there must be a way…”
Method···?
The mole suddenly raised its head. Vertically elongated pupils glared at the opponent as if to kill them.
“How…?”
“That, that’s why…”
As the guy spoke gibberish, the mole stood up. The face of the man who had said anything to calm him down was stained with contemplation.
The mole asked with a broad face.
“How!”
“… Huh? Tongue, older brother…! Dushik over there…!”
The cornered guy suddenly points to the empty space.
The mole was no fool.
No- I’m stupid, but not to the point of being fooled by such nonsensical tricks.
The moment he raises a fist the size of a pot lid and the man screams out loud-, from above the sky, KeeeeeK! And the cry of a monster was heard.
Goejoga, Dusik is back.
Du-shik, who had just been hit by an arrow in his wings, returned intact.
A piece of parchment was tied to the crow’s ankle.
It was a letter
