Changed Body 518

Chapter 518 – Sanctuary of Blood (5)

Two types of people live together here.

Those who clearly understand their purpose as members of the Guardians and those who do not.

After explaining the goal to them, who came running without asking or questioning, only at the request of my colleague, Francis Maier, the full-scale meeting began.

“As I said a little while ago, the place we need to go is Romania. Among them, it is a cursed land that has come to be called the Sanctuary of Blood.”

Sanctuary of Blood.

Cursed land.

Everyone’s faces begin to harden at the appearance of a name that raises even the tension that wasn’t there before.

“The first task is to enter Romania without being discovered by the enemy…”

Someone raised their hand and asked.

“I guess I need a disguise?”

“Yes. “We plan to enter Romania by hiding our identities through disguise.”

Someone else asked.

“Uhm… “Even if we hide our identities, if many people suddenly enter Romania, the attention of our enemies will be focused.”

“That’s a very valid point. So we have to enter the country without drawing the enemy’s attention. For this purpose, we decided to enlist the help of the Vatican Orthodox Church.”

Help from the Vatican.

As soon as I hear it, one thing comes to mind.

With their help, there is a natural way to enter the country without drawing attention from the enemy.

“Are you entering the country as part of a volunteer group run by the Orthodox Church?”

Even before I finished speaking, the smile on his lips said this.

That’s the correct answer.

He took his gaze away from me and continued speaking.

“As Hunter Kim Do-jin said, we plan to enter the country with the help of an Orthodox volunteer group that regularly goes to Romania to volunteer. And after understanding the domestic situation and completing reconnaissance, we enter the sanctuary of blood.”

Entry through the Orthodox Church Volunteer Corps.

There was no one who disagreed with this.

Because there was no way to enter the country while hiding one’s identity more completely than this.

However, questions still remain.

“Isn’t the Sanctuary of Blood a place that has not allowed invasion by foreign enemies for the past 10 years? How are you planning to get through there? .”

Even if the question was quite difficult, he answered without hesitation by extending his index and middle fingers.

“We plan to find spies operating undercover in Romania and steal information.”

“What if I can’t find it?”

“We have also prepared a secret trick for that time. However, since it is a powerful card that gives allies an advantage in all situations, I hope that you will not want to use it just for entry.”

A secret sura.

Although it was not revealed what it was, no one questioned it.

That’s how much I believe.

The being before my eyes, a hero named Francis Maier.

Same goes for me.

If he speaks with such confidence…, There is definitely a big move in store.

For the first time, an expression of disapproval appeared on his face as he perfectly explained the process of entering the bloody sanctuary.

“We estimate that there will be no problems during the entry process. But…, What happens after entry is the problem.”

Yes.

In fact, the biggest problem with this operation is not entry or entry.

Rather, what happens after that is the most problematic.

“As you said, the Sanctuary of Blood was a place that did not allow invasion by foreign enemies for the past 10 years. I don’t know how the apostles of the Seven Deadly Sins and their subordinates, who were the exception, get in and out…, In other words, we don’t have enough information about that place, and they have enough.”

Absence of information.

That was the most painful.

I’ve been thinking about it ever since I came here, but I just can’t come up with an answer.

Why?

Because I don’t know what the biggest problem is when I walk around in it.

However, it was not that there was no information at all.

“The bloody sanctuary I went through 10 years ago…, Okay. First, your feet become heavy. “Every time I took a step, it felt like sticky glue was stuck to the sole of my foot, and it became difficult to remove it.”

Decreased movement speed.

And the resulting increase in physical strength consumption.

“And…, Wounds suffered there are not easily stopped bleeding. The wound would normally heal easily, but here it took a little longer to bleed just barely to stop the bleeding.”

In addition, the stamina regeneration effect is reduced.

“This is the end of the effects that the attack team, including myself, experienced at the time. However, as you know, it is only information obtained 10 years ago, so it is difficult to know how much stronger it would have become and what effects would have been added now that it is surrounded by a wall.”

The passage of time, 10 years.

In addition, there is an apostle of the Seven Deadly Sins who uses the place as his home.

It is unknown how those two variables would have changed the Sanctuary of Blood.

There are so many reasons not to go in.

And ironically, that reason also serves as a reason why it must be included.

“I disapprove of the entry into that place more than anyone else gathered here.”

Francis Maier’s story settles down heavily.

“Because I have already experienced it. “What a terrible place that place is.”

Now, 10 years later, I explain the struggle at that time like this.

The disaster was put to rest through the sacrifice and dedication of the greatest heroes of the time, including Francis Meyer.

Being recorded means that you have performed tremendously well.

But no one knows from that sentence alone.

The struggle they fought to be recorded in that one line, and the pain and suffering they experienced in it.

Since he is the only person here who knows this, he is probably even more reluctant to enter the Blood Sanctuary.

“So I have to go further. Because the apostles of the Seven Deadly Sins who work for the destruction of the world are here. “They are the only ones who exist in this cursed land that does not allow anyone to invade.”

A cursed land where no one can set foot and no one wants to set foot.

There they will be dangerous, but at the same time free.

No matter what they do, they have to be watched or there is no one to stop them.

“They can dream anything there. Anything can be prepared and built up for the destruction of the world. Before it gets any bigger.”

You never know.

They must have stored up powerful weapons there that could sweep the world to destruction.

Or maybe they are creating a very serious virus or disease through secret research.

Because you can’t know anything.

“We must finish them off.”

A justification is established that we must enter the sanctuary of blood and condemn them, even if it means taking risks.

He spoke after convincing everyone.

“Ten days from now, a volunteer group from the Orthodox Church will arrive here. Only thorough preparation can increase our survival rate, so I hope you do everything you can until then. Also, I welcome stories of good strategies or plans that suddenly come to mind, so feel free to come to me.”

A heavy silence.

In it, Francis spoke his last words.

“Of course, as many people as they want to have a drink can come by.”

Haha!

The atmosphere became a little lighter.

* * *

Kim Do-jin spent the day relaxing after a long flight and adjusting to jet lag.

He woke up in the best condition and left the hotel straight away.

“I said where.”

He walks slowly, tracing his memories of last night.

Eventually, with my heightened hearing, I began to hear the sounds I wanted.

Kaaang… !

Gang!

The sound of powerfully hitting hot iron with a hard hammer.

The destination was a blacksmith shop on the outskirts of Sofia.

It is currently used as Angela’s personal studio.

Minerals piled up in a fairly spacious space.

Angela is at the center of a space where new crazes are swirling.

Kyaang!

Gang!

Whether you’re a man or a woman, you look more attractive when you’re concentrating your entire attention on your work.

Is that why?

The sight of her hitting the red iron on the anvil with all her might looked extremely beautiful.

So much so that each drop of sweat flowing down her body feels like holy water.

As if he was possessed by her, he tried to approach her but stopped in his tracks.

‘I shouldn’t disturb you.’

It is one of the taboos to approach a blacksmith in the middle of his work and distract him from his concentration.

So I decided to wait.

Until her work is done.

It didn’t take as long as I thought.

About two hours.

“Uhm…, If you just set the blade a little longer, no. “If you think about the overall balance, this is right.”

Angela holding a freshly made sword and swinging it around to inspect it.

Then, suddenly, I felt eyes on me from behind.

“Huh? Who…, Uh, you!”

When she looked back, she was very surprised.

Kim Do-jin was standing at the entrance and staring at us, so it had to be that way.

Angela approaches quickly, happy to see you.

As she was about to be hugged by her wide chest, Kim Do-jin was startled and stretched out his hand.

“Now, wait! “Put down that sword first.”

“Ah!”

Only then did she realize that she had a sword in her hand and smiled brightly.

She then carefully placed her sword to one side, then jumped up with all her might and fell into his arms.

“What’s the matter? Huh? You came here because you missed me, right? Right?”

A barrage of questions.

The purring feels like seeing a wild beast that likes human touch.

Kim Do-jin answered.

“What…, I miss you, and I also have errands to run?”

Angela’s lips pouted slightly.

“It would have been nice if it was just one thing I wanted to see.”

“Then let’s assume that one was bigger.”

“Tch…, Speaks well. So.”

After enjoying his embrace to the fullest, she broke away and asked.

“What do you mean by business? Is there anything you want to make?”

“That’s right.”

My curiosity rises as I see Kim Do-jin agreeing.

Even if he said he would make something for him, he wouldn’t say anything even if it was his, so that’s what he wants to make.

“Hmm…, What? Whatever you want, just say it. I’ll make everything for you. Of course.”

She moves forward with her light steps and whispers into Kim Do-jin’s ear.

“If you just propose, I can even make you a baby…” ♥”

A tempting yet terrifying offer that comes with hot breath.

Kim Do-jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“That’s still okay, I just came because I wanted to make a sword.”

“Yes…, Sword?”

“Yes. “It won’t be an ordinary sword.”

“If it’s not normal…”

Most blacksmiths have similar tendencies.

Something special and unique rather than creating stereotypical things.

I am often fascinated by things that make me want to create.

The weapon Kim Do-jin wants to make is a sword.

It is the most common weapon, but if you look closely, it is not like that at all.

“A sword suitable for a magic swordsman who uses magic and a sword at the same time.”

Only suitable for Kim Do-jin.

If you go a little further, it’s a very special sword that can’t be used properly by only two people, including Son Seo-yeon.

“What do you think? Isn’t it appealing?”

An invitation to an unknown territory that no one has ever attempted.

When Angela received the invitation, a very rough smile filled with a desire for challenge appeared on her lips.

“That’s really…, Sounds fun?!”

A genius blacksmith.

The will of the craftsman, who was worthy of being called that, began to stir.
