Chapter 847 – 838 on the Way Back – Yulkam
The first people Hwanin met after traveling to Nionebres were Ryuhi, Ephnis, Huini, and Ennel.
If souls are included, one more person is added in front of them, but in dictionary terms, it can be limited to these four people.
And various accidents and incidents occurred and were encountered. He also met Bardul, and now that he thought about it, he also encountered a creature that might have been a divine beast.
Hwanin has the skills to fight against monsters, beasts, and beasts, but lacks basic knowledge of nature and the ecosystem.
Four people who lack the power to fight, but who live rough in the village and know the reproduction of plants well and are roughly familiar with the geography.
It was a hastily organized party, but it went fairly well.
Although they had experienced an accident that brought them to the abyss as humans, they showed their will to live an active life and, except for battles, took on the task of carrying luggage, gathering food ingredients, and gathering by-products of game, and even volunteered to be on watch at night.
As a result, Hwanin and the four people worked together with a feeling of mutual help and escaped the forest-type labyrinth.
To be exact, it was a jungle near the labyrinth, and even if Hwanin was alone, he would have somehow been able to survive due to the presence of emergency food, but it is an undeniable fact that with these women, he was able to live more comfortably and like a human being.
In the process, we even became closer to each other by mixing our bodies together. No matter how abnormal a person was, it was inevitable that they would become close to them.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been somewhat reluctant to have anything to do with them because of what they went through.
However, Hwanin, who was abnormal at the time, did not care about such things at all, and even now that emotions have arisen, he does not show any interest or discrimination towards such things.
If you look at it objectively, you are trash with no qualifications to point out such things.
In effect, isn’t it like abandoning her wife and son to another dimension?
It is possible to include a lengthy 5,700-character explanation about him, but no matter how many 5,700 characters were filled with inscriptions and famous calligraphy, Hwanin was able to summarize it in just two letters.
It is an ‘excuse’.
“I’m glad everyone is healthy.”
Anyway, when he reunited with Enel, who had grown up from a young girl to become a beautiful young woman, Hwanin was able to smile with an honest heart after hearing that the other girls were safe as well.
Before coming to Yulkam, I stopped by for a while and saw the death of the female village chief there, so I wondered if there was anyone among them who had died.
Hwanin entered the village with Ennel and looked around him.
Unlike when I first came, the wooden fence had been upgraded to the level of a stockade and was protecting a wider area than before.
The unmotivated vigilante men who used to just wander around the wooden fence are now wearing leather armor and spears and carrying out border surveillance quite seriously.
In the past, houses were often made of planks or huts made of straw hardened in mud.
But now, most of the houses are built properly with logs, and the population is closer to 300, compared to around 150 back then, so it feels lively.
Hwanin laughed a little when he saw children who looked like they were about four or five years old running around laughing and opening their eyes wide when they saw this.
There is a saying that if you want to see the situation of a village, look at the children.
Although they have patched up leather here and there, they are all well-dressed and their hair and faces are clean and neat.
Their clothes are a little dirty, but since they are children who like to play, a little dirt is not a blemish.
Looking at the plump cheeks and not a single wrinkle on the face, it is said that the situation in the village of Yulkam is very good.
=Oh my, oh my… !=
=Um, is that person not the spirit priest back then? ?=
=Right? I wasn’t mistaken… ?!=
The village women who recognized Hwanin there began to fussily slap the arms and shoulders of the woman next to them.
Among the dogs were women whom Hwanin had carried, and some were carrying children such as kittens, puppies, and wolf cubs on their backs.
It looks like everyone has found their home.
=Well, but who are the people following behind… ?=
=Isn’t she the soul master’s woman? ?=
=Ah. Then this time I won’t be able to be hugged by the spirit master…=
Enel, who was guiding the village, glanced at the small story being heard, looked behind her, and became a little depressed.
When I first saw Hwanin, I couldn’t see my surroundings, but when I came to my senses after a brief hug, I was very surprised.
As many as 11 noble and elegant women followed him.
There, in Kangchon, where it is difficult to find even a single Kuerani, there are black gray and sunset-colored Kuerani. No, there is no need to go all the way to Kueh. Wouldn’t it be possible to buy the entire village of Yulkam just by selling that precious-looking carriage?
Unlike her twin sister Huini, who had a slightly lighter and more lively personality, her consideration was deep in her body and she was a deep thinker, so inferring the relationships between those women and Hwanin was a piece of cake.
‘Your benefactor was a great success as expected…’ …’
Between the disappointments, sadness wells up little by little like a small spring.
It is a sadness that comes from realizing that there is no place for her, Huini, and her two older sisters next to her benefactor.
It was two months after her husband left that she awakened to her warrior profession.
She was very happy at first. If she is a warrior, it would be natural for her to take on the role of a village vigilante.
And she was sad. If she had awakened just two months earlier, she would have been able to follow her benefactor.
I made a final promise. If my benefactor visits Yulkam again, I will leave with him then.
So I worked hard with weapons and fought against beasts and monsters.
As the first and second years passed, my skills and grade rose sharply. She became the leader of Yulkam’s vigilante group, and all threats around her village were eliminated, giving her peace of mind.
He exorcised the beasts, demons, and monsters that attacked from time to time, and sometimes went into the jungle to fight, and the materials he obtained were supplemented with the weapons of the vigilante group by mobilizing his father, who was a blacksmith, and Huini, who followed in his father’s footsteps, and also trained the vigilantes.
It was because I deeply experienced the importance of strength, skills, and equipment while following my benefactor.
As three years passed, four years passed, and five years passed, Ennel was able to become a fourth-class warrior…
=…=
Enel knew with the intuition of a wolf. They say that all those who lightly follow behind them are more capable than themselves.
Eleven women who have excellent equipment, even better looks, and are stronger than herself, a level 4 warrior.
There are various races there. I know Luke, Fleur, and Flavius, but there are many races that I don’t know…
Ennil held back the tears that were threatening to overflow from his insides and smiled brightly after leading Hwanin to the village chief’s house on the second floor.
=This is the village chief’s house. You know it too, right?=
“It’s a place I was indebted to while staying in Yulkam.”
=Hehe. You will probably be surprised when you enter. =
The village chief’s house on the second floor was in a newer style than before. It’s not that the design has changed, but the two-story building, which was a bit shabby to put it negatively and was old-fashioned to put it positively, has been straightened out.
Besides, you’ll be surprised.
“I’m looking forward to what kind of surprise it will bring.”
Hwanin, who said that thoughtfully, grabbed the doorknob of the village chief’s house on the second floor.
As she came, she heard from Enel about how the village had grown. However, since the story of Ryuhi, Ephnis, and Huini was never mentioned, Hwanin had already figured out that the reason was within the village chief’s house.
If you combine them, you get one conclusion.
The end of the L-shaped table in the large living room of the village chief’s house, which has also been neatly decorated inside. A beautiful girl with pointed gray ears and tail like a Jindo dog looks up from her vellum and opens her eyes wide.
=… Ah, my benefactor… ?=
As expected, the chief of Yulkam Village had changed, and Ryuhi was taking on that role.
Moreover, as Enil said, Hwanin was not ‘surprised’, but he was quite surprised.
Her gray eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the human being, and the aura of a level 5 holy magician blooming like a whirlpool enveloped her.
As Hwanin was reuniting with the now beautiful Ryuhi, the door to the village chief’s house burst open, and two beauties rushed in.
They were Huini and Ephness, a beauty dressed as a blacksmith who looked just like Ennel, and a beauty with the folded ears and gentle appearance of a golden retriever.
=Benefactor?!=
=Benefactor… !=
Likewise, they ran to his arms and sobbed. Ryuhi, who had barely stopped crying, and Enel, who was standing next to him, also had tears in their eyes as they hugged Hwanin again.
Hwan-in, who hugged the four women who were crying with heightened emotions, and who had become virgins over the course of five years, was quite surprised by the changes in them.
The four virgins who reunited after half a decade had become unrecognizably beautiful, and surprisingly, all four had become professionals.
Level 4 warrior Ennel, Level 3 warrior and blacksmith Huini, Level 5 holy magician Ryuhi, Level 3 mystic Ephnis.
How did not one, two, but all four of them find jobs that fit their personalities? Is it because of his own ability?
Anne, who was sitting on one side of the U-shaped table, looked at the women who were chattering to Hwanin like baby birds following their mother bird as if she couldn’t see them.
=Isn’t it a coincidence that all those ladies became professionals?=
“It can’t be a coincidence. “I guess we should say that Hwanin’s effect of the six-healing herbal medicine has been effective since then?”
As Hwanyeon in her human form responded by twirling her long straight black hair with her fingers, Isil Rite added to the story.
=The owner said that he and the children escaped from the Loatings Jungle for several months and arrived at Yulkam. If she had continued to be held by her master for so long, wouldn’t she have received the master’s grace to the point where not only her constitution but also her talents would have blossomed?
“… Wait, wait, wait. What does that mean? Are you saying that if I have sex with you, I will become stronger?”
When Ji Ji-yul asks in bewilderment, the women, including Isilite, smile softly.
=But you know. She said that at that time, she had just started her journey, and that there were medicines such as Yukhap back then… How about it?=
I have never seen a growth-supporting ability as absurd as the Six-Heart Pill.
To put it bluntly, she thinks that just having the six potions and other abilities is enough to be classified as a top-level, rare, and unique job.
But she had both the power of soul death and the power of medicine, such as healing, right after awakening?
Adneville, who had a sullen expression on her face at Yurpa’s remark, suddenly threw her words away.
=The classification of occupations among you mortals is extremely pathetic. Classifying occupations as unique or rare based on whether they appeared in history or not. I’m not an idiot or anything, that’s it.=
=Then how should we classify it? ?=
Adneville, who looked at Baek Ryeo-gang with her somewhat softened eyes, gave a slightly pointed look to Hwan-in, who was surrounded by women, and said.
=That damn bastard is a job loved by God.=
It refers to Hwanin and Jihayul. Next, Adneville points the finger at Isilite and Anne.
=And it is correct to say that you and your profession are blessed by God.=
=Love and blessings… It’s a much more intuitive expression than unique or rare…=
=There are differences in that love and blessing, but it can be said that that damn top has definitely received the highest level of love from the God of Mercy.=
The women nodded their heads silently.
To them, Hwanin just felt like he was getting stronger, like breathing. Although she didn’t stand out because she used her brains more than her abilities.
Then the door opened again and a pretty, black-haired girl who must have been ten years old came in, her blood-stained spear hanging on her shoulder.
=… ?=
=… ?=
If Hwan-in were a woman, she would have looked like this. When a girl with a cute appearance that gives off a slight but Hwan-yeon vibe appears, women inevitably look at her.
The girl blinks cutely when she sees that her house is full of women she has never seen before, then sets up a bar near her entrance and asks the name of the one closest to her.
=Who are your sisters?=
She has a lower voice than other girls her age, but anyway, she thinks this is the kid Susa was talking about. The women who were thinking that way were surprised a little too late.
Sister!? It was a boy, not a girl?!
=A pretty boy in crossdressing has appeared!=
=Ayeongah’s mouth. … Hmm, hello? My older sister is called Yurpa. If it’s okay, can I tell your sisters your name? =
When Yurpa, who had stopped Ayoung’s inappropriate nonsense, asked, the boy was so happy that he had tears in his eyes with a man he had never seen before. She looked at her mother and aunts who were talking for a moment and answered calmly.
=It’s a toddler. Wait a minute.=
After stopping the pretty sisters from asking her questions again, Yua approached her mother and tugged on the hem of her mother’s clothes, who didn’t even know she was there.
=Mom. She grabbed her Crocs. She can’t eat meat now unless she gets rid of the poison. =
=… Huh? Ah!=
At Yua’s words, mother Ryuhi grabbed Yua’s shoulders and made her stand in front of her husband, as if there were more important things than that.
=I… My benefactor, this child is said to be a toddler. That… This is the child I gave birth to after my benefactor left…=
“…”
Hwanin, who was looking at her as if trying to remember the image of Yua looking up at her, said to Ryuhi while stroking her slightly bushy hair like when she was young.
“It was named after Ryuhi and Rua.”
The infant seemed to be offended by the touch, shook her head, made her hwanin’s hand go away, and grabbed the hem of her mother’s dress.
=Mom. The meat is poisonous.=
=It’s a baby. This person…=
=You’re telling me to be polite because you’re my dad? No, I do not want. Abandoned her mom and her aunts and hasn’t even shown her face once in 5 years. She didn’t even help. Now that I think of someone like that as my dad, I feel like I’m going to break out in hives. =
Omg. Omg. Oh. Oh…
“He’s quite temperamental. Did she get it from her dad?”
=Hayul…=
At Yua’s blunt words, various exclamations erupt from those around him, and Epnis, Huini, and Enel catch Yua, who is raising the tip of his eyebrows at Hwanin with a puzzled expression.
Although he might have been embarrassed by his son’s defiance, Ryuhi was not at all perturbed and turned Yua around, brought him to eye level, and calmly opened his mouth.
=Infant. If her mother hadn’t been her benefactor, she would have died 6 years ago.
=…=
= And the benefactor did not abandon her mother and her aunts. The benefactor left because he was going to do great things in the world…=
=That’s what you threw away! Or he would have contacted the top at least once, but he never did!
Yua, who had shouted at her, now turned around to face her husband with a completely angry face and shouted as if he were shooting him.
=I hate you! I won’t acknowledge you as my father!=
Then he shakes off her aunts’ hands and runs out of her house.
Ryuhi got up and bowed his head to Hwanin as if he was sorry.
=I’m sorry, my benefactor…=
“No. As Yoo Ah said, I am a man who does not deserve to be called father.”
Until recently, Yulkam didn’t even care. Moreover, in a few days he will visit the forest-type labyrinth, and then he will leave for good.
How could he hope to be called father?
Hwanin looked at Ryuhi, whose face was full of worry, with a slightly self-deprecating smile, and said while caressing her soft ears.
“Ryuhi. We must stay in Yulkam for three days and then leave forever, to a place of no return.”
=…=
=…=
The four women’s faces stiffened for a moment, then straightened and smiled.
“The reason we came to Yulkam today was with you… “I’m going to see you, Ephnis, Huini, and Ennel one last time.”
The four women felt both joy and sadness at his story.
The joy of knowing that they did not forget and came to visit us. Although it is short, the joy of being able to spend time with my benefactor. The sadness of never seeing you again.
With a slightly sorrowful smile, Hwanin hugged the girls, whose height barely reached his chest, again.
Hwanin, who asked Ryuhi to find a place for the lovers to rest, scanned the village in search of Yua, who had left home.
If you open the eyes of God, you will find a hidden child…
“…”
Hwanin, who found where Yua was hiding in 0.1 second, was so surprised that he stopped moving for a moment.
The body is so full of spiritual energy that it can hardly be considered the body of a child. An energy that circulates so actively that it must be described as appropriate.
Just looking at that, it can be compared to a level 4 job.
Of course, Se-yu, So-you-do, Yeo-woon, Yeon-a, and Yeon-woo are full of energy and qualities, but compared to Yoo Ah, there is a difference between an ordinary worker and a rare worker.
Is it because of age? Or actual qualities?
However, unlike the other five children, I don’t see any special talents. Seyu and Soyou had wings of fire and cold, and Yeoun, Yuna, and Yeonwoo had multiple fox tails each with different powers.
But what Yua has is simply a strong body, a vast amount of spiritual energy, and energy flowing like a giant river.
‘In the dream, the children had no aura. Does that mean those children have become new humans?’
Or, like Anne or Yurpa, if someone has already awakened and becomes a higher-ranking race, their job will be maintained, but people who were born in a higher-ranking race will not awaken their job.
Hwanin looked back at the blue crocodile the size of a car, dead, with its tongue out, next to the vacant lot on the downhill road in front of the village chief’s house.
Red blood is flowing from the cuts here and there on the body, making it look like a red crocodile instead of a blue crocodile.
If you think about Yua’s story earlier, it would mean that the 5-year-old child caught her witch with a spear.
After thinking for a moment, she smiled and took out the core of the Gwangmyeong Spear from Jaebo’s coffin and played with it.
‘It’s Gwangsinchang…’
It seems that the dream I had that day was a precognitive dream just as they said.
In that case, her job would be to ensure that Fanatic Chang, who only appeared as a title in the precognitive dream, could become an infant.
Hwanin put the core of the Gwangmyeong Spear in her pocket and walked towards Yua, who was hiding in the outer crevice of the wooden barrier.
