Chapter 374 – Chapter 374 Towards the Second Gate-14
At the request of the underground, the lord and servants of Gadeon visited the camp of the Red Union.
While commander-level generals watched, the basement faced those who had come to surrender.
The young man at the forefront would be Todan, and the translucent beauty behind him would be his wife.
The two knelt in front of the basement, accompanied by attendants and servants.
Todan said.
“Nice to see you. Commander of the Red Union. I am Todan, Lord of Gadeon…”
“How do I believe?”
Underground said boringly.
“Yes?”
“How can you believe that you are a lord? Could you send someone else to trick me?”
Todan was flustered and cleared his throat.
“If you are caught doing such tricks, you will buy the commander’s wrath. Why would you?”
“Because I’m still cheating.”
“Yes?”
Jiha ignored Todan and looked at the woman.
She is a beautiful woman, translucent through her azure skin.
She was a woman literally made of water, an exotic charm.
“A rare species.”
“This is Undine. This is my wife, Viona.”
Todan said quickly.
Undines are water spirits, but they were not that numerous.
“I only heard rumors. It’s more tangled than expected.”
Viona did not respond to the words of the underground.
Looking down at the basement with a curious face.
Indeed, Todan burst into tears.
“You came here to surrender, but you are a little rude.”
“Ah…”
Barjet let out a hushed sound.
The faces of the Red Union commanders, not just Barjet, stiffened.
Everyone knows what happens when you speak carelessly to the basement.
“It should be said that it is resilient. So you say it’s all withered?”
“You talk too much to my wife.”
Todan got up from his seat in a fit of fuss.
Jiha looked at Viona and asked.
“Are you honest? No, do spirits have a marriage culture?”
“…”
Viona silently shook her head.
Because Undine is related to humans, she cannot give birth to children.
They married because it was custom, and Todan would have to have a separate human wife if he were to make her an heir.
“Why did she marry the lord? Do you love him?”
“…”
Viona is silent.
But that’s the answer.
‘It’s an arranged marriage. Undine is a water spirit, and Gadeon is a city surrounded by water… It must have practical benefits for protecting the city. Then, in order to rule this city, it would be quicker to obtain that spirit?’
Todan, who had been ignored while trying to figure out the situation in the basement, heated up.
“Chief, please forgive me for speaking rudely to my wife.”
“Oh, did I?”
“Yes! If you’re apologizing now, it’s something that didn’t happen…”
The basement rose from its seat.
Todan, who was just talking, turned into a puzzled face as the basement suddenly approached.
Damn!
Jiha slapped Todan on the cheek.
Without using his magical power, he obediently struck with only his palm.
“Your cheeks are quite puffy. It has a taste of hitting, so it goes.”
“…”
Turning his head, Todan narrowed his eyes.
A reflexive hostility in his eyes, Jiha laughed as he slowly turned his head back.
“Why? Come on?”
“…”
Todan lowered his eyes, but at that moment the basement slapped him again.
Aww!!
Stronger this time, Todan staggered back.
Looking at him hardened in humiliation and anger, Jiha said it was not a big deal.
“No, I don’t think I twisted it, so I wanted to be able to hit it more.”
“Ha, what the hell are you doing to the envoy who came to surrender…”
As Todan squeezed his horse out, the underground kicked him in the stomach.
All of them were purely physical blows without the use of magic power.
“Keep it off…”
As Todan grabbed his stomach and sat down, Jiha tilted his head.
“Do you surrender so proudly? I think this is the first time I’ve seen a surrender like this? Do those who say they surrender say that it is a demand?”
Underground looked around at his subordinates and said.
“I guess you don’t know what surrender is. Even if I kill all of you here and throw you as animal food, what you have nothing to say is surrender? Shouldn’t the existing ruling class be prepared to be blown away the moment they surrender?”
“Kuuuuu… So, shouldn’t you be kind?”
When the collapsed Todan protested, Jiha kicked him in the jaw.
Underground laughed.
“No, if you’re going to say that, shouldn’t you have surrendered a little earlier? Wouldn’t it make me feel better if you paid me some bribes and surrendered beforehand? How would you feel if you knew I was coming, but you stayed still the whole time and then you surrendered reluctantly?”
“Heh, heh…”
“You think these bastards are trying to surrender secretly after watching each other, don’t you think?”
Jiha kicked Todan’s side as he tried to get back up. With a gasping sound, Todan’s body fell forward.
“I defend with magic. Continue?”
Underground hits only with the body, but Todan summoned his magical energy and was holding on.
Underground looked around at his subordinates and said.
“Oh, this is annoying, but someone mess with him instead of me.”
“I…”
“I-I’ll do it!”
Enlil was about to step out, but Barjet raised his hand in a louder voice.
It was unusual for Barjet, who did not want to step out and shun violence. Seeing the underground, he forced a smile with a hard face.
“Yeah, beat it to your heart’s content.”
“Yes, yes…”
Barzett’s intentions are clear.
If this continues, Todan will be beaten to death. Rather, she decided it was better for her to step in and tone down her violence.
Why did you go out anyway? Barjet was looking at Viona.
I thought it was something she couldn’t show in front of her wife…
‘Even though the woman is surprised, she doesn’t sympathize?’
Jiha didn’t miss Viona’s reaction even while beating Todan. It looks like she’ll have to put it in her hands if she’s going to rule Gadeon.
It is certain that Gadeon and Todan were doing liver bogey.
As he had inferred, he had to extract information to confirm whether he had been waiting for the Princess Thunder Dragon, and what the specific method was.
How her wife’s heart would be shaken when her husband became helpless, but would not even sympathize with her.
‘He hates it quite a bit.’
As the basement retreated, Barjet imbued his staff with magic. Then the staff flew by itself and hit Todan.
“Ouch! Whoa!”
“Eh, you can’t defend yourself with magical powers. Because it gets stronger.”
Barjet said that, but Todan didn’t seem to hear it.
As Tothan curls up and wraps his head around him, the cane strikes nonstop on his side and hip, pounding his thigh.
His skills in picking out and defeating only the fatal vital points were considerable.
“Let’s continue there and I’ll try this side.”
“…”
The underground stretched out her hand towards Viona.
At the approaching man’s hand, Viona did not avoid her reluctant face.
Jiha smiled as he touched her transparent cheek.
“I thought it would be soggy, but it’s smooth.”
It’s a water spirit, so I thought it would water if I touched it.
Viona said nothing.
Even though her underground hand pressed her lips and slightly opened them, she just stared at them.
It meant that no matter what I did, I would not resist.
Underground took her arm.
“I am surprised to have this woman. Everyone disperse, do as you were wary of during the day and gather again at night.”
“Oh, no!!”
At the declaration of the underground, Todan, who had been crouching on the floor and constantly being beaten, jumped up. The momentum was so urgent that Barjet, who had been hitting him, hesitated.
Cried Todan, her face bruised and swollen.
“Where is this law! To insult the wife of the lord who came to surrender!”
“Where is the law to treat you guys favorably?”
“That, that…”
The reason why surrender is accepted well is usually because the next opponent also wants to surrender.
Conversely, if you don’t want that, there’s no reason to treat you well for surrendering.
“You have to surrender properly.”
“Eh, what, what…”
“Bardjet, if you don’t do it right, I’ll leave it to someone else.”
Aww!
Barjet shook his hand hastily, and the staff struck Todan’s head mercilessly.
Todan’s body, which had been staggering, collapsed.
Concussion, if not treated promptly, the aftereffects will remain.
Barjet looked around the basement.
Her eyes begging for her permission, her subterranean nodded her head.
“Show it to the therapist.”
“…”
When Barjet quickly took Todan out, the servants and attendants who came with him also followed.
It was ironic, but if Barjet hadn’t done that, Todan would have died.
Now the Red Union’s forces were obeying any orders from the underground.
Killing a lord who surrendered was nothing. Aren’t Enlil and other commanders feeling sorry right now?
A missed opportunity to prove your allegiance to the orders of the Underworld.
“As I said, everyone goes out to work and gathers in the evening. Enlil moves according to the instructions given earlier.”
“…”
As Enlil silently nodded his head, the crowded barracks were empty.
To say that the basement is enjoying itself with a woman, he left leaving only an escort outside.
Undine, Viona looked around and made a puzzled face.
“There is no bed.”
“Her?”
“I don’t like it here.”
What does a woman who has her husband say?
I expected resistance or fear, but it’s the complete opposite.
Viona lowered her eyes.
It was silent, but the attitude of dissatisfaction was uncooperative.
She lifted the kettle from the table in the basement and poured water.
“What do you drink, water, tea or alcohol?”
“…”
“Keep acting dumb?”
Viona shook her head slowly.
“I don’t drink water.”
“Well, that’s it.”
“…”
She watched Viona as she drank from the water in the basement.
If you look at her profile as she stands, she is slender and subtly voluminous.
Her azure skin is a translucent exotic charm when seen with her eyes, and smooth when touched with her hands.
“Why does a water spirit act as a human’s wife? I don’t think I like it.”
“…”
“If you pretend to remain silent, I will make it impossible. When I speak, answer quickly.”
As her basement calmly reached, Viona opened her mouth.
“Aren’t you?”
“Do you think I am doing this to fuck you?”
The basement looked amazing.
Unlike Ravian, he seems to know human sexuality and desire.
“It’s amazing. It is true that I am curious about whether the body under the clothes is also transparent and how it feels to be fucked. But am I at work right now?”
“…”
“Let’s go back to what we were talking about. If she doesn’t even like it, why be a human’s wife?”
“It is a custom. Gadeon customs. I just did it as the representative of Undine. Because everyone hates it.”
Viona was quite dissatisfied.
Whether it be her dissatisfaction with her underground, her husband’s, her own lot and her people’s, or all of it.
She has to be inside. She confirmed that she doesn’t have a crush on Todan anyway, so it’s okay.
“Okay, then tell me everything you know. Then I’ll give you what you want.”
“I heard about you from Labian in advance.”
“Okay?”
The basement looked interesting.
The fairy queen Labian, who was the mayor of Larussa, secretly exchanged letters with her.
Viona said.
“Yes, Fairy and Undine are relatives going back. Ordinary people don’t know, but they are the same spirit race.”
“Okay, then you know I’m not talking empty words and you know I’m not holding back, right? What do you want?”
“… I want freedom.”
Viona said right away.
A conditional reflex, a tone that has come out of what you have longed for.
“I’ll give it to you if you cooperate.”
“I will.”
An immediate answer without hesitation, Jiha laughed.
She was a woman who was anxious to get a divorce, an unwanted marriage.
“Okay, then the first question. Why does Gadeon want to surrender now?”
“Unique, I asked Yegrina, Princess of the Thunder Dragon, for support, but it didn’t seem to work. I don’t know the specifics.”
The predictions of the basement were exactly right.
“I guess the reason I endured until I came was that I had my own belief that support would come, but what is that?”
“Todan confidently insisted. I don’t know the details.”
“If I don’t know the details, it won’t help much, right?”
“Because I’m not in a position to access information well.”
The horse is a wife, but is it actually a prankster?
“For that matter, Tothan seems to be terrified of you.”
“… It is only a nominal marriage.”
Disgust crossed Viona’s face.
She was the face of a woman dealing with a man she hated.
“Is this all you know? Are you marrying an unwilling human for the sake of your kind?”
“… It’s just fitting them. We, the Undines, don’t have marriage. We didn’t even share the bed.”
Well, that’s kind of the nuance.
“Okay, then let’s do concrete cooperation next time. In front of everyone, fawn on me with your body.”
“I will.”
“Can you really do it?”
“Are you touching me? I will stay still.”
She must have been a virgin to have never slept with Todan.
To cooperate with the underground right away.
It seems that he really misses freedom quite a bit.
Underground nodded.
“Okay, in front of Todan.”
If you provoke her, she will desperately call the Thunder Dragon Princess, Yegrina.
Prepare in advance and arrange everything.
Reduce Blue Seal’s strategy card by one.
Acquire the 2nd city needed to hit Heaven.
