Chapter 170 – 2. Psyche’s Sleep (4)
Coo… Coo…
Although it was a fairly loud footstep, the sound of Talos’s footsteps had definitely decreased compared to before.
And Nuri and Jincheong, who saw it, broke into cold sweat at the change of the Loa who was controlling Talos.
He knew that Roa would risk her life if it had to do with Yuria, but Roa absorbed the martial arts knowledge she had learned from Jincheong like a sponge, to the point that even a sponge could not absorb this much.
The Loa Nuri knew was very nice, but she was stupid and, to put it a little harshly, was a ‘stupid’.
Lazy in acquiring new knowledge, poor understanding, and not good at thinking deeply.
A person whose head hurts even when a little difficult story comes out.
However, he was fluent in conversation and was not that stupid and stupid to be called a real fool, so I did not laugh at him even though I sometimes laughed in some situations.
However, the Roa he saw this time was very different.
If he missed any of the knowledge that came from Jincheng, he would cling to it as if he were dying and display a bizarrely high level of understanding.
Didn’t he say this by pointing out geniuses?
If you know one, you know ten.
Loa was like that.
Contrary to how she had been foolish until now, Roa was a genius while learning martial arts.
And he was proving his genius without hesitation.
Talos’ gait contained the technique of footwork and light attack, as well as the power of gravity used in Gravity Homet, a swordsmanship that had not yet been properly developed.
It’s just because I don’t know anything about martial arts yet. At this rate, Roa’s talent is so great that if she encounters various martial arts, she can naturally create her own martial arts such as footwork, light ball, and swordsmanship. Looking at it, cold sweat broke out again.
It was the same even from the time when Gravity Homet swordsmanship was born, but his father showed him that he was moving farther and farther when he thought he had caught up.
Although the driving force was based on her desperate tenacity to protect her mother, it was also true that it would have been impossible if her father’s natural talent had not supported it.
Roa, who was walking down the street, gave Tia a glance and Tia let out a sigh.
Her mother, and herself, an almost pure descendant of her mother’s lineage, can read other people’s surface thoughts.
Of course, Tia herself is a god even though she is not of her mother’s lineage, so it is not difficult to read other people’s thoughts, but she has her own power as ‘Thebes Noah’ and not her own power as ‘Tia’, so she is quite confident. Had to use only her power as ‘Tia’.
Although the use of power as ‘Tevenoa’ is allowed to some extent, it is literally ‘to some extent’.
Restrictions are more sloppy than I thought, but powerful.
If you put it on your ears, it’s like an earring. If you put it on your nose, it’s like a nose ring.
It was more ambiguous which ear or nose it would be. Even really annoying.
Tia sent her thoughts only to Jincheong.
“Dad told me to tell only you. You may have noticed, but someone is following you from behind.”
Hearing Tia’s thoughts directly in her head, Jincheong shuddered and only slightly rolled her eyes to look at her Talos.
[Couldn’t it be that Loa also felt the small agreement?]
“Dad has always had an excellent sense.”
Maybe it’s because I grew up in the forest since I was a child. It felt like a beast.
It’s a pity that this feeling is on and off, but it’s a feeling that doesn’t show up well in normal times, but only when I’m nervous.
Rather, Tia was delighted and intrigued by this method of transmitting voices to her.
Is it transmission?
Tia tried to convey to her father the method of transmission sent to her by her Qingcheng through her mind.
Intention is not a language.
A way to literally convey one’s will to the other person.
That’s why she has the ability to completely convey thoughts and knowledge of the mind that cannot be conveyed through words.
And Dad, who had been passed on the knowledge about transmission through Uinyeom, paused for a moment as if thinking about something, then glanced over and checked the location of the jingcheong reflected on the inner wall of Talos and concentrated his mind for a while.
[Is it like this?]
“Eww!?”
In an instant, Jincheong stumbled and struggled as if his feet were caught on a rock, and in an instant swept away from Talos, and then panted again and came a little ahead of Talos.
[Roa, small agreement with Loa?]
[Tia told me that she has good skills]
At those words, Jincheong broke into cold sweat.
Miss Tiya is a god, so human skills are nothing, but what is a loa who learns so quickly no matter how much Miss Tia imparts them to her?
[Sohyeop really should have been born in a kingdom or in the East Continent]
[I hate that… If so, she would never have met Yuria]
[… ]
However, Roa also had a bitter side.
What if she had had the opportunity to realize her talent early and learn martial arts?
Even if she didn’t eliminate Yuria’s suffering, wouldn’t she have been able to reduce it a lot?
Or even if so, did this world somehow twist and twist fate and lead us to a prepared tragedy?
However, at least the things that happened after the birth of Hosea and Joshua were not interfered with by the world, so I felt very sorry for that part.
Regrets about the past were regrettable, and now it was time to talk about something else.
[Who do you think Jin Cheong is following us now?]
[Even considering the fact that I don’t run that fast to match the black giant’s stride, it’s a speed that anyone who hasn’t learned martial arts can’t possibly achieve. It seems like they’ve been following since they came out of Biryu… ]
A group that is jealous of Baekryongmun?
Merchants trying to figure out trade routes to the top of the euro?
Numerous hypotheses came and went in my head, but I couldn’t figure out the answer at all.
Roana and Jincheong didn’t know.
As a Loa son, the tension that had been tense up until now was relieved after meeting Jincheong, and he loosened his guard, believing in the security of a kingdom that was superior to his expectations.
I couldn’t even imagine that there would be someone who opened Yuria’s coffin while the escort and hired guards from Baekryongmun looked away for a moment to see if anyone would climb on top of that fearsome black giant.
It was also in a situation where it was very difficult to climb on top of the black giant because he was standing up without knowing when he was sitting.
[Then let’s test the opponent]
[What do you mean?]
[Jin Cheong, you said you are running slowly at the pace of Talos right now.]
Jin Qing gave him a small nod.
[As Talos’s piloting skills have improved, I’ve gradually felt how much Talos’ actions give Talos a boost or strain.]
[?]
[The current speed is just the most suitable speed for Talos, and I will increase the speed to the maximum without excessive strain]
At that moment, Talos’ steps changed.
‘Poetry, Gyeonggong?!’
Toohong -!!
At that moment, the huge new model of Talos began to stretch forward, and Jin Cheong also began to speed up quickly following Talos, operating light air in earnest.
‘Oh my god… It’s not a famous gungong, but this is definitely the way to renew it’
Talos’ speed was not difficult or difficult to catch up with, but Jin Qing was astonished at the fact that in the meantime he had caught the concept of light gong and used it anyway.
To be able to perform martial arts like this not through one’s own body, but through the equipment one controls.
It was a different story than just learning the basic techniques of martial arts and applying them to general actions.
Jincheong was a little bit greedy, but on the other hand, fear came in as well.
At this level, if it is generally open to the public and anyone can learn basic martial arts if they pay money, how about teaching them?
So how much progress will you see?
However, since this person’s intellect is so terrifying, they wondered if it would be right to properly teach him martial arts.
Jincheong, who had been thinking about it for a long time, glanced again and only rolled her eyes to see that dark black giant, and finally decided to trust Roa.
It hasn’t been long since I’ve seen him, but from what I’ve seen so far, Loa’s personality is so pure and kind that it makes me feel like an idiot.
In addition, if he is truly a wicked person or a person who could become a wicked person, God cannot be with him no matter how much he is related to him.
However, he decided to teach martial arts after all the training on the basics was over.
Although Roa’s level had already surpassed the foundation and was easily surpassing the level of the third-rate level, even so, just as a tall building cannot be built without a solid foundation, martial arts were the same.
He had no intention of making it awkward as long as he had decided to spread martial arts.
It was a matter of one’s life. If you think about what has not happened and teach it clumsily, it could bring about a big disaster.
If he ate poisonous food, didn’t he tell me to eat it whole?
If you decide to teach, he won’t look back.
And above all.
“…”
I couldn’t say that I didn’t have a small selfish desire to sincerely support the man who risked his life to save his partner.
* * * * *
After running fast for a while, the two returned to their usual speed and looked behind them.
“I think I’ve shaken it off, but I’ll have to watch it a little longer.”
“Who was it?”
“I don’t know anything yet. It might just be the same direction.”
Rather than saying that I was following them, it might have been that they kept a reasonable distance from each other because they seemed suspicious if they unnecessarily narrowed the distance.
In fact, as soon as I increased my speed a little, there was no sign that the opponent was pursuing me anymore.
But Roa, Jincheong, and Nuri didn’t even think of it.
He knew that the person who followed him was simply lacking in skills, so when Roa and Jincheong increased their speed, he couldn’t catch up and fell behind.
The speed at which a horse runs at normal speed.
That it was the highest speed that anyone who followed him could achieve.
It happened because the person who pursued them had never even assumed that they would have such poor skills.
As night fell and it was time to camp, the loa pulled out a black cloth and placed it over Talos.
On the first trip, it was a trip that I couldn’t even prepare properly, so I was lacking in many ways, but now it was different.
I was able to prepare in many ways because I came out fully prepared in Biryu.
“Certainly, the newly developed version of this seasoned beef jerky is better.”
Jincheong took a bite of the seasoned jerky newly developed for a kingdom in the travel bag, threaded the jerky on a branch in his hand, and began to lightly grill it over a bonfire.
Loa also tried the newly developed beef jerky, but except for the exotic taste, the original one was more palatable to them.
However, like Jincheong, Nuri had changed to a new version of the jerky, and like Jincheong, he was putting the new jerky on a tree branch and gently grilling it over a fire.
“I’ve never thought before that I could have such a rich and delicious meal on my travels. Thanks to you, I’m glad that a new pleasure has been created in this country.”
“I’m glad you’re happy. I’m happy too if a lot of things sell that much.”
Delis quietly shoved the wickedly dry dried meat into the pot with a knife and poured the vegetable flakes into it.
Even if it wasn’t a properly made stew with fresh meat and vegetables, the stew made with lean meat and dried vegetables wasn’t too bad either.
Instead of roux, **can was baked to make it thick, spread it in a bowl, and while they ate the hot stew, Roa and Jincheong exchanged glances with each other.
[I think it came again]
[Who is it? Is it the same road that we just happened to be on?]
[I don’t know. I can’t get rid of the thought that they followed us.]
If it got dark, would you camp, but you kept moving through the night?
Something was strange.
Of course, he might have come because he thought it would be dangerous to stay up all night alone on this forest road, but in that case, wouldn’t it have been better to approach him during the day?
Loa quietly sent a glance to the party, and the party who saw Loa’s glance quietly began to be wary of their surroundings, although they did not show it.
“Seoyeok seems to cook porridge in a strange way.”
“Uh, uhm… Do I have to kill this…?”
Even while eating the stew, Jincheong made a very subtle expression.
It’s not familiar food, but I was eating well enough to eat it.
“It’s not a proper stew, so it’s hard to say.”
Delis, who cooked the stew, spoke quietly, and Jincheong quietly sent a glance at Roa, saying that if that’s the case, I would like to try a proper western rice porridge later.
“Well, to do it right, you have to stir-fry the flour with butter to make a roux.
In the first place, this abbreviated stew is just an outdoor meal that is full of substitute ingredients and the cooking process is also abbreviated.
However, what he was saying was not a story he really wanted to tell about Stew, but a bluff to hide the signals coming and going through his glances in real time.
At some point during the discussion, Roa pulled out a dagger from her waist and threw it somewhere with a quick swish.
Wedge liquid -!! Puck!!
The dagger that escaped from Roa’s hand flew through the air and grazed the side of the figure approaching from behind, planting it deeply into the tree next to it.
“!…”
In that brief moment, Roa and Jincheong were aiming their swords at the man’s neck while occupying the man’s left and right sides.
“Who are you?”
“Hee, heehee!?”
* * *
“Name”
“Woo, this is Woojin. My name is foreign.”
“Why did you follow us?”
“…”
Woojin seldom opened his mouth about why he followed them.
Roa and Jincheong began to misunderstand more and more in a situation where they hardly opened their mouths even when they put a sword in their throat and scared them.
It seems that he has been properly trained or has a weak spot.
“How do I do this?”
“Is there anything special? When we arrive in Haenam, we have no choice but to hand it over to the guards.”
While hesitating, Woo-jin got the feeling that this would really ruin his life, but no matter how hard he tried to say what to say, he couldn’t come up with a suitable excuse.
What did you mean?
To spill over the beauty of a youkai sealed in a coffin hanging from the back of that black giant?
To be honest, I couldn’t figure out what to do with it.
However, if the seal of that monster is really broken, I have to be honest with you right now so it won’t be taken care of.
What if that monster wakes up? If he wakes himself up, wouldn’t he praise it?
However, while drawing, I was very afraid of how dangerous monsters would be and what dangerous things would happen.
While he couldn’t make up his mind and couldn’t say anything, the misunderstanding deepened, and in the end, with neither side deciding what to do, Ugin was tightly bound and clung to Talos.
Woo-jin, who was clinging to Talos like that and unable to do this or that, struggled for a long time about what to do, and finally opened his mouth.
“Uh, guru over there… What is that coffin hanging on the back of this black giant?”
At that, Roa’s expression hardened and he glared fiercely at her blue eyes.
“You are not part of the job”
Even if it wasn’t so, Roa was wary of Woojin with a growl just by mentioning Yuria’s coffin, which was like a reverse to Roa, to that suspicious man.
Security is better than expected and people are good, so the vigilance that had been released without knowing it rose to the fullest, and he glared at Woojin as if he was trying to figure out what the hell he was trying to do.
Wow, what the hell is a young bastard’s spirit so bloody?
“I ask the other way around. Why did you ask that?”
Jincheon began to push hard as if he had found the direction to interrogate Woojin’s question.
“I-I’m just curious…”
“Even you, a civilian, know well that it is taboo to ask about the secrets of Taoism, right?”
“…”
Jincheon kept his mouth shut for a while as if he had become dumb for a while, then asked a question he had been thinking about for a long time.
“Well, then let’s just ask this. Is that coffin dangerous?”
“It’s not a dangerous thing. Is it done?”
At those words, Woojin let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like the dangerous giant youkai he thought he was.
It’s not a dangerous thing.
For a moment. The ‘coffin’ may not be a dangerous thing, but what about that substance?
“Then what’s in the coffin?”
At those words, Roa and Jincheon frowned again.
“It’s the same with being in the coffin. Then it’s time for you to answer.”
Pretending to, and again aiming the sword at Woojin’s throat, Jincheon opened her mouth.
“Why did you follow us? Did you receive an instigation from another guild? Or did you receive an instigation from a group that is hostile to Baekryongmun? What is the purpose?”
“That, that’s…”
After hesitating for a while, Woojin thought about it again because he had confirmed that the coffin was not a dangerous object.
Then what the hell is the body in the coffin? What the hell is that borderline beauty?
Could it be that you are a gentleman?
Did you freeze it to maintain the state of being attacked by a monster and falling into a critical condition?
Certainly, if the sages were different from ordinary people like themselves, they wouldn’t die even if they were frozen that way.
If it was such a serious wound, it might be better to leave it frozen until it is ready to heal in a place where it can be healed.
How do you do what do you do?
Jincheon, who had been thinking about it for a long time, thought about just telling the truth, but he thought about it for a long time.
Woojin, who was confused and unable to figure out what would be better for him, groaned and rolled her hair for a while, somehow squeezing out the hair.
“Well then, Master. What are those people from the west station doing?”
“I’ve already answered enough of your questions. Now it’s your turn to answer.”
Woojin gulped and swallowed as he felt the sharpness of the blade through her throat.
“Dae, what on earth is that coffin, so why are you so serious about it? Did you mean that the demons were secretly transporting a seriously injured seonnim?”
Unexpectedly, everyone who was stabbed to the point by those words flinched greatly without realizing it.
Woo-jin thought that he had finally opened a way for him to survive.
“I’m right”
“…”
But why? On the contrary, the atmosphere became even more heinous.
I pondered for a long time about why.
Judging by the momentum, the head, which had hardly been able to turn properly because it was soaked in drugs, began to spin faster than it could.
It wasn’t just that the situation was going to get really bad, that I might die, but at this point, in the atmosphere where I was really going to be killed and destroyed, my head, which had been pushed to the limit, went beyond the limit and devised again and again.
“Oh, no! I’m not like the devil’s minion! Not really!!”
“Tell me. What is your identity? Why did you follow us?”
In the end, Woo-jin thought that there was only one way for him to survive in this situation that seemed to have only gotten worse after playing tricks and tricks.
How did it really come to be like this?
“That, that… Soin was blinded by curiosity and opened the coffin.”
“What?”
Woo-jin, who was caught by Roa and got caught, was terrified.
“Lee Ja-sik…! What did you do to Yuria…”
“Oh, no. I really only opened the coffin! It’s real. I didn’t even touch the ancestor inside.”
Roa, who gritted his teeth, grabbed Woojin by the collar and glared at him for a long time, and eventually let go of Woojin.
Woojin, who was finally released, glanced at Roa with a frightened face as he calmed down and calmed down.
Why the hell is Lee so angry?
“He is the wife of the sage of the Western Region who is sleeping in the coffin.”
“Ah…?”
“Anyway, you can’t just leave it alone.”
Woojin gulped at him and swallowed.
It wasn’t the same ugly atmosphere as before, but he knew too many things he shouldn’t have known.
“What are you planning to do with me?”
“I’ll have to go to Haenam to find out about that. But since the purpose of this journey itself is her recovery, if I can’t find a way to do something about her four mouths…”
“…”
Snug… Are you going to do it?
In the meantime, Woojin hid at the blade of the sword that touched her throat again, and her hiccups came up.
“Yes, but I haven’t heard the reason properly yet. I know that you have committed a felony by opening the coffin on your own. The fact that you opened the coffin, which may have been an incantation device to control the black giant. If so, the black giant Something that might have gone wild in the town and caused a lot of damage.”
Hiccup!! Hiccup!!
“So. Why did you follow us? I don’t think we’ve heard the reason yet?”
“That, that, that!!”
Jin-Cheong closed his eyes tightly and cried out.
“That, that!! I fell in love with the sage at first sight!!”
It’s all~ It’s all~ It’s all~
A loud cry resounded like an echo, and the party stared blankly at him in a daze.
That, so what is it
Now, how did you open the coffin and see Yuria, fell in love with her and followed you?
Surprisingly, Jincheong seems to understand Woojin’s words, um, um… I was shaking my head.
“Certainly, the nobleman’s beauty is so outstanding that if he himself had been less disciplined, she would have been firmly possessed. It’s not that she doesn’t understand.”
Loa is with him… He made a grumbling sound as if he was asking what the hell he was talking about.
However, at that sound, Roa’s children stopped laughing.
It was a sound that was very similar to the one her mother used to make when she was very shy.
She must have been very embarrassed by her compliments on her mother.
Everything was finally resolved, but even so, trouble was trouble.
She was said to have been under strict security, but there was a gap in it, and the fact that Yuria’s existence was known in itself was very difficult.
Even Jin-cheong, who saw Yuria’s appearance and her condition, judged that YuRia’s existence was dangerous, so she did not inform her private affairs, but she became known to such a strange person.
“It’s not possible. When we arrive in Haenam, we’ll have to find a way to lock the coffin of the nobleman tightly so that no one else can open it.”
“I must be like that… A kingdom was so peaceful that it caught its guard…”
Yes, that’s how it works
Really what?
Do you kill that thing with a quick glance at yourself? Woo-jin, who received a strong feeling of her doing, had goose bumps.
Hey, what do you really do with this?! Hey, isn’t this really dying?
Uh, how are you?
Again, her Woojin’s head started spinning.
Even though it’s been a long time since I’ve already taken the medicine, it’s really very pingping that I can’t think of it.
