Chapter 275 – 4. Is It a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing? Is It a Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing? (3)
“Ahhhhh!
Yuria screamed as she desperately grabbed the elder’s hand and clung to it, as the elder shook the fragment of the crown embedded in his head.
As the thorns swayed and the sharp ends scratched and pierced here and there in the brain, the elder looked at YuRia, who was twitching with her eyes wide open in pain as her thoughts were shaken, and the elder again gripped the fragment tightly and pulled it.
“Uhhhhh”
Seeing Yuria convulsing with blood flowing from her eyes, nose, and ears, and even frothing at the corners of her mouth, the captain stopped pulling the shrapnel.
When the elder let go of his hand, he flinched weakly and flinched! Flinch! Looking at YuRia, who was convulsing intermittently, he tutted and clicked his tongue.
Did he show such a normal appearance with this kind of thing stuck in his head?
Carrying the collapsed YuRia on his shoulder, the captain hurried his steps again.
Until now, no one had ever touched the thorn in his head, to the point that no one was even careful about touching it.
I had always been careful not to touch YuRia’s brain by any chance, but today, she was grabbed so roughly that it shook her brain, and she felt as if her head hurt and even an accident was jumbled up. Even after waking up, Yuria lost consciousness for a while couldn’t keep
Like a patient suffering from epilepsy, I felt like I was convulsing and my insides were turned upside down, and as I put the pieces of the puzzle scattered in a mess together, and my confused consciousness came together bit by bit, the pain became more and more clear.
It was painful, dizzy, nauseous, and it hurt so much that my head felt like it was going to explode.
Every part of her head was so stinging that she had the urge to open her skull, take out the brain, and scrub it away.
“Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!”
Unable to overcome his pain, Yuria, who tried to ram his head anywhere, hesitated for a moment.
It was designated that if you accidentally drive a place with a thorn, more insane pain would come.
The captain just silently watched Yuria, who was trembling and crying while holding her head.
“That’s pretty amazing. Are you saying you’re fine with messing with her brain that much?”
“Eugdeuk!! This, crab… Looks fine… Does it look good?”
Yuria, unable to breathe properly and gnashing her teeth at her excruciating headache, glared at her leader with bloodshot eyes.
“It’s just right. If you behave arrogantly in the future, it will be a good punishment.”
“…”
Even as she let out her breath roughened by her pain, Yuria calmed her outward hostility as much as possible.
The feeling of her thinking ability itself being jumbled, shuffled and crushed, if not as much as being subjected to a complete death, and this pain of tingling madly and furiously in her head, was too much to bear.
“Did you know about us?”
“…”
“They say knowledge only known through books is dead knowledge, but is the knowledge you know about us living knowledge? Is it dead knowledge?”
“Anxiety… Han, do you want to go?”
Even though she was sweating coldly from her pale complexion, YuRia stammered her words as she continued.
“Horse, this long…”
“…”
The captain frowned at Yuria’s words.
She already understands what she’s trying to do and what she’s trying to do.
In fact, the many paddles she possessed have become obsolete.
Not all of her cards were lost, but now that the one remaining card had shrunk to the point where it could be counted in one hand, he was shaking as she said.
Buzz buzz…
Yuria, who first came to a place called Gaekjan, which she had only seen in writing, glanced around and took a look at her appearance, which was very different from what she had imagined.
“Isn’t this the Yeon Kingdom?”
“No. It’s still Yeon Kingdom. It’s not all wetlands.”
Seeing Yuria looking around with interest, the general sighed softly so that no one could hear.
Looking at it like this, it should be said that it is really that small stature.
However, after looking around a couple of times, I stopped. It seems like you already figured everything out.
Soon, the food she ordered was served, and YuRia had dumplings made entirely of wheat. No, rather than dumplings, the bland dumplings, which should be called steamed bread, and bland noodles like those dumplings, made his expression harden slightly.
The broth seemed to be broth, but the saltiness was too weak, and the taste was so strong that I felt sick to my stomach.
This was really better than the clumsy food I ate to survive when I was living in Loa Village in the past.
‘Western food in the East has a Chinese style, and Chinese food is one of the world’s three major culinary styles, isn’t it?’
The best culinary civilization in the world has blossomed. Insufficient food culture that was eaten like a dog due to the Cultural Revolution.
Could this world be the Chinese style after the Cultural Revolution?
Or did you show me this as part of a way to let me know that the knowledge I know is dead knowledge?
While Yuria was confused in many ways, he casually ate bland dumplings and noodles, and that’s why Yuria also quickly started eating her own dumplings and noodles.
Even though the psychic energy was released and the body was recovering, the body that had already been drained was still demanding a lot of nutrition.
On the other hand, the captain is messing around with dumplings! Howop! And bite metallurgy metallurgy. Looking at YuRia, who was chewing and inhaling a few thin strands of noodles, she kept thinking of squirrels, so she tried to control her expression.
“How old are you?”
“… I’m not asking about a woman’s age.”
She glared at her fiercely once more, then held the dumpling with both hands again and opened her mouth as wide as she could! He bit into the dumplings and seemed to keep smiling, so he tightened his face.
Your head is so big, why is your mouth so small?
“Can you open your mouth as wide as possible?”
“…?”
At the elder’s words, Yuria couldn’t understand why, but she had no reason to refuse, and she had to open her dumplings as wide as possible anyway, so she added to that and tried to open her mouth wider.
“Aang”
And whether he had seen it enough or not, YuRia, who showed her mouth wide open for a while, made dumplings again! And bit off.
The general, who saw the size of Yuria’s mouth opened to the maximum a moment ago, murmured… I thought for a while.
Surprisingly, her mouth was large compared to her appearance while eating dumplings.
No, to be precise, the width of the mouth is not very wide, but it should be said that the chin opens considerably.
Just in time, when YuRia seemed to have finished her meal, he reached out her hand and cupped her cheek.
“Urgent?”
“Hmm…”
I could definitely feel it when I squeezed her face like this.
Surprisingly, the lower part is quite narrow. And I could see why her hair was so big, but it didn’t stand out too much.
The ‘head’ was big, but the ‘face’ was not.
“You’ve got such a subtle head, yes.”
“… Excuse me, that’s”
When the elder’s hand was released, Yuria spoke to him with a sad expression.
“You must be afraid of me”
“No, I’m afraid. But I have some beliefs…”
Although I do agree that he would be nothing if it weren’t for the thorn in his head.
YuRia finished her meal by drinking the fiercely delicious broth of the noodle soup, and looked at him as if wondering what to do now.
“Do you know how to drink?”
“Under…”
Yuria sighed as if asking if that was all she was asking.
“Why. Do you want to play tricks when you’re drunk… Kyaaak?!”
The hand that gripped his chest warmly gripped Yuria’s heart! Hi He trembled with shame, stiff as he was.
“You can get drunk as much as you like right now, so what does that matter?”
“Heh, heheuk! Hehe…!”
She shuddered and moved her hands as if caressing his entire chest, and she shrank and cried at his touch, but she couldn’t bear to resist.
Yuria, who had been teased for so long, had tears in his eyes and finally, in his falling hand, she unknowingly raised her arm and covered her chest.
“You must earn a hawk”
“…”
“I’ll ask again. Do you know how to drink?”
YuRia nodded his head without saying anything to him.
She doesn’t like the unique fermented smell of alcohol, so the only drink she likes is vodka, but it’s not like she can’t drink alcohol itself.
The elder ordered a drink, and soon a small jar and two small glasses were served on the table.
When the paper blocking the mouth of the jar was removed, the strong scent of alcohol wafted out.
YuRia gasped at the strange scent that seemed to be similar to Tamamo’s favorite Japanese soju, but with something different. She groaned softly.
Vodka was good, but I didn’t like this kind of drink either.
Of course, that didn’t mean she was offended.
Squeeze…
The elder effortlessly lifted the jar, which could not be held in her hand, somehow. The jar sounded as if it were sticking to his palm, and the captain poured the liquor from the jar into the glass placed in front of Yuria first.
And after pouring alcohol into his own glass, he emptied the glass first, and Yuria also emptied it reluctantly.
The smell of something musty made me frown.
Why the hell do you like this drink? Vodka is the truth.
“You don’t seem to be drinking as much as you thought, do you?”
“Kuh… That, you guys are just drinking tasteless alcohol”
He had to drink a few more glasses of alcohol that was disgusting to eat while going round and round like that, and seeing Yuria who showed a clear dislike of alcohol and yet not drunk at all with that strong drink, the captain thought for a while.
Are you really drunk?
Is it just that this drink isn’t to your liking?
“Ugh… The taste is so good…”
“Your alcohol is stronger than you think.”
“It’s natural that my favorite alcohol is distilled alcohol, too.”
Before that, in the first place, the race itself, alcohol, was only an energy source, so there was no way I could get drunk.
In the end, YuRia sighs and drinks her glass! I put it down to make a sound.
“If you want to give it to me, give it to me with a drink I like.”
“A drink you might like. What is it?”
“Hmm… To put it in your way, it’s just a collection of pure alcohol.”
With that said, what did the chief do? And blew out a fuss.
“Are you talking about knowing what you’re talking about?”
“Actually, that’s the kind of drink I enjoyed. 4 to 9 percent pure alcohol and only water.”
Was the captain bragging about him? Or maybe it was because he really didn’t like the smell of her alcohol, but he stopped pouring YuRia any more.
“It’s a pity. Alcohol is perfect for an open conversation.”
“Unfortunately, I am not drunk.”
Drinking alcohol does not cause acetaldehyde. Even if acetaldehyde is produced, it is not particularly toxic.
The premise of taking it from the beginning cannot be established.
Of course. Although the story is a little different if a fairly large amount of acetaldehyde is injected directly into the carotid artery, which is located deep in the throat.
YuRia, who was exchanging pleasant stories with each other, came to think that it was a little unexpected.
Did you really come here purely to have a meal and talk? Or is there something wrong with it?
Was it an exaggeration to assume that something would happen here?
“If you want to talk, why don’t you bring it up first?”
“I’ve thought about it before, but it’s pretty bold.”
“Even if you look like this, you’re in your 50s”
While I was talking, I was silent in my heart! And groaned softly.
She herself didn’t want to mention her own age…
“He was in his 50s.”
“…”
“But I’m a little older, so I don’t understand that attitude.”
“Have you ever driven a stake that hinders the flow of energy in the upper ranks? If it weren’t for this cursed thorn, you would be nothing to me.”
At that, the captain ha… I laughed out loud, as if I was stumped.
“You’re bluffing”
“Even my husband couldn’t believe it at first. He knows very well now.”
“What?”
“My strength. Even before this thorn was stuck, there was a time when I couldn’t use my strength because I was in a dying situation. At that time, my current husband saved me, and after that, we stayed together, fell in love with each other, and got married.”
When the little child talked about love or marriage, he seemed to be bluffing, but looking only at his face and body shape, not his body size, I got the feeling that he wasn’t bluffing at all.
“So. How strong are you?”
“Even if it weren’t for these thorns, my condition wouldn’t be perfect. But without these thorns, I could turn a small city into a flat plain at once.”
The general did not know whether it was true or false, but if he said it was true, he wondered for a moment whether he would be able to resist the force.
If it’s about one small city, you can make it flat at once. Does that mean you can make it flat by weaving the entire terrain? Or is it that you can simply take down the building?
If it’s the former, it’s definitely a loser. If it’s the latter, I might be able to endure it, but… If that power is narrowly concentrated and stamped down, will it be able to withstand it?
Of course, if you focus on such a narrow range, you can avoid it as much as you like, but what if you first press down on a wide range and then narrow the power to yourself.
Above all, it’s an example to explain how strong it is, so it won’t be all about just pushing down, and there won’t be any restrictions on the direction of the force.
It would be right to see it as a kind of very powerful void-substantial ability.
“Under…”
However, the bluff was too strong.
How could a human have such power?
No matter how alien he was, there was bound to be a degree.
“What do you mean you’re going to be the best of the world you used to live in?”
“That’s right”
Even the elder was really taken aback by Yuria’s prompt reply this time.
Is it a bluff? Is it true?
“Are you the world’s greatest?”
“Can’t you believe it?”
The captain, who was seriously considering whether it was a bluff or the truth, couldn’t easily believe her words, but for some reason, she began to lean toward ‘it might be the truth’.
Overly confident look.
Even though he has become somewhat docile by holding on to his lifeline and shaking it, he does not flinch in the slightest even in front of himself as the head of Baekhwagyo.
It was clear that it would be difficult to see such a wall unless you were in a fairly high position.
“Isn’t the person in that position overly naive?”
“Luxury isn’t my taste. Haven’t you heard much about me?”
“Hmm?”
“Baekgyeong. It seems that you haven’t heard the story that the owner of the ship is me. It seems that you have some information, but you know what Baekgyeong is talking about, right?”
The captain remembered a certain news he had heard.
About a huge, beautiful white ship that doesn’t look like it was made by man.
“I was the one who made the basic structure of the white whale. The current white whale is based on the ship I made, and the Dragon King made it completely new.”
“The Dragon King…?”
“I guess you think it’s a bluff again. If you look at the ability of a white whale, you have no choice but to believe that what I say is the truth. No matter how much I do, it’s difficult to build a ship that’s as big as a hundred whales.”
Even after regaining all abilities.
It’s not a question of how strong you are, but a question of how high-level abilities you can handle freely.
In terms of the total amount of power, I, who have fully recovered, will be higher than the dragon king, but in the end, in terms of existence, these are unavoidable parts because the dragon king is higher than himself.
Above all, he is a fighter, not an engineer.
Of course, these parts did not tell him, but quietly looked at him.
Good information if you do your research and try.
Is this real or false? Information that is likely to be puzzling enough to confuse.
Throwing reliable information or very low-important information as needed, Yuria looked at the elder’s reaction.
His plan was to gaslight himself and direct his thinking in the direction he wanted.
Perhaps, in order to use it as a sacrifice or a vessel, you will need your heart for them.
And Stockholm Syndrome must have been intended to be used, but it is useless.
In a situation where you know what your opponent is aiming for and how they will approach you, there is no way that way will work.
If so, he will use it in reverse.
The relationship between a hostage and a hostage taker is not only sympathetic to the hostage taker. The opposite is also possible.
Gaslighting also has many types of methods, and if he tries to gaslight himself, he just needs to gaslight him in reverse.
Okay. Keep rocking keep struggling
Because that’s what I want
“Why. Do you think it’s strange that the so-called supreme is making a boat by himself because he has nothing to do?”
“…”
“However, when someone of the level of the Dragon King directly steps in to rebuild the ship, it seems like he should have a position worthy of him, so he seems confused, right?”
“…”
“Then let me ask you. If your Baekhwa Church were not in the current situation, but in a world where peace was achieved and everything returned to normal, how would the head of the Baekhwa Church be doing?”
“That, that’s…”
Something I’ve never thought about.
However, it is a dream that millions of members of Baekhwagyo have never forgotten.
In a world where there is no longer any need to struggle for survival and everything is going right according to God’s providence, how will the religious leader, who no longer has the need to protect and lead the church members?
Basically, you will live a life of worshiping God, but what else?
“Compared to now, there will be plenty of free time, right?”
“…”
“And even such a small amount of time is so much time for extraordinary people compared to ordinary people. Learning to build something like a boat is not a big deal.”
The captain thought about it once.
Really, what would happen if her teacher had some free time and had a hobby like this, and if her hobby was to make her boat like her.
Even if it wasn’t a ship like the White Whale, it seemed clear that a great ship that could easily be counted in this continent would come out easily.
He has better eyesight than anyone else and has hands that are more accurate than anyone else. Even if he cuts different trees, they will be carved to fit together as if they were only one tree.
Just like Cheonui-mubong, a ship will be born in which all parts of the ship fit perfectly.
YuRia, seeing the elder’s expression and recognizing that he was in deep agony, put a faint smile on her lips.
Okay. Agonize over agonize, agonize, agonize again.
So until the agony goes to yourself, not just thoughts about me.
Until the moment you doubt even your beliefs.
However, this is a race against time.
It’s a way that won’t work for a teaching assistant or someone who specializes in brainwashing.
It is a battle of who can assimilate the opponent to himself and gaslight well, whether or not he can finish everything until he arrives at the headquarters of Baekhwagyo.
