Chapter 169 – 2. Psyche’s Sleep (3)
The city of Biryu.
Seeing Biryu in the distance, I began to understand what Jincheong said little by little.
The concept of classifying each region is different from that of the West Station, so if you are looking for a similar word, you could use a city, but it is a place that is different from a city.
Certainly, it was not bustling to be called a city, but it was too large to be called a village.
A town with an exotic landscape can be seen in the distance, and a loa who has not seen other ways of living except for a small village where around 100 or so dozens of people live around a vast field or a city where thousands of people live in a densely populated city has no idea that it is a capital. The method was really the first time I had seen it.
Looking at the way of life itself, just like the village where she lived, there were wide fields and ‘paddy fields’ that Yuria had only heard about, and cattle were raised in the wide pasture.
It felt different to say that it was just a place where several villages gathered in one place.
I can’t even call it a city, but I’ve been able to see a block with a certain population density.
And above all.
Biryu was bigger than any city he had ever seen.
Although it was not very busy, it felt very quiet.
“Something seems peaceful”
The first thing Roa felt when she saw Biryu was that she seemed calm.
The village he lived in is Yuria. Myself. Uncle Cashwin. There, Allen and Nuri were organizing from time to time, and Joshua and Hosea again in a situation where the adults had already been deceived. And as Elsa and Liza cleaned up for magic practice, it looked peaceful, but not all villages were like their own.
Didn’t Mr. Merkin, who passed away now, do the same?
If his parents hadn’t settled in this town in the past and cleaned up the monsters around them.
And if Uncle Cashwin hadn’t periodically subdued the monsters around him, this village would have disappeared within a few years.
In reality, Yuria settles in her village and she saves her monsters’ magic stones for her own recovery. Considering that the victims used to come out.
And when she thought of the atmosphere she felt as she went from place to place, seeing firsthand what this world was like, being an accomplished adventurer herself, Biryu seemed oddly so calm.
“It’s not always like that. Certainly, there are no monsters around where people live, but monsters often appear and possess people.”
At Jincheong’s words, Roa tilted her head.
It’s been like this before, but among the words that seem to classify monsters into more subdivided ones, Jincheong said that he specializes in monsters with ‘Yo’ in front, but I wondered what it was.
“Ghosts. In other words, monsters and demons are very close. Monsters are beings that are indistinguishable from dangerous beasts with their strong bodies and cruel dispositions. Because these monsters are often insubstantial, they are very difficult for ordinary people to deal with compared to other monsters.”
“Ummm…Are you talking about the case of a demon-type monster?”
Wraith or Banshee. Mare et al. It seemed that this case was a ghost.
“It’s a little different over there. The existence of Mare can be seen as a monster, but Wraith and Banshee aren’t monsters, they’re specters.”
Grunt… It is difficult to distinguish between the East and the East.
In any case, according to Jin Qing, it was like this.
A monster if it can only deal physical damage and can be beaten in a physical way.
A monster that possesses the ability to use some magical (magical) ability or interfere with a person’s mind or psyche and is not a dead being.
Those who are dead but refuse death and walk around are ghosts. Or demons.
It is not possible to categorize all of them with this alone, but he said that this should be enough for us to understand.
However, looking at Nuri, it seemed that she had a mysterious expression, so it was just a classification that was easy for us to understand, as Jincheong said, but it was not a proper way to distinguish it.
“Nuri is more familiar with our culture than Jincheong, so wouldn’t it be easier to explain?”
“The correct classification is what kind of power is being used. That’s probably it.”
At those words, Jin Qing shook his head.
“The majority of the monsters are monsters with extraordinary strength, and the monsters that are least affected by ‘evil’ are the monsters.”
“And it has become more and more deeply tainted with demons, and even though it is not a monster of the supernatural power type, it is rather a more dangerous monster.”
“The existence of the undead is a very similar classification, so there is no need for a separate classification.”
Nuri and Jincheong took turns explaining, and at the words, Roa sighed and nodded.
“Then, what is that crimson… No blood queen ant classified as?”
“She is also a monster. Although she has mighty power, the power she possesses is not of the supernatural power type, and is a very dangerous monster.
Half devil
While we were talking like that, we arrived at Biryu before we knew it.
At first, it was necessary to hide Talos, but Jincheong said that it was not necessary.
I was a bit puzzled by that statement, but since Jincheong, the local who knows the place best, said so, I was surprised to see that the people who led Talos and entered Biryu did not show any reaction, although people glanced at them occasionally as if they were curious. Did
“I often see swordsmen like me with various stallions, so I think your black giants are like that too.”
“Stallion…?”
“…Ah, no, it’s not that stallion, it’s literally a monster that is completely subdued and used as a servant.”
Nuri, who was sitting behind Talos, giggled at those words.
* * *
First of all, Loa, who got a room at the inn and had no place to put Talos, sat quietly in front of the inn. Watching Jincheng strike a gold line on Talos, he quietly watched what the hell he was doing.
After a while, after Jincheong broke the gold line, people flocked to see Talos, but strangely, seeing that they did not approach within a certain range, Roa wondered why they were doing that.
“Cutting a gold line means that this is a dangerous existence, so it is sealed. Perhaps it is difficult for them to control the monsters while they are doing their business here, so it will be seen as sealed.”
“Ah…”
It’s a dangerous existence, but it’s safe if you don’t touch it.
I’m sure no one would care about messing with it.
And we followed Jincheong’s command in earnest to prepare for the small continent, and entered this and that knowledge and precautions about the small continent.
In particular, Dellis was carefully educated about what items were most needed and what items were lacking the most when going to the small continent, and while the conversation was going on like that, Dellis started asking questions from Jincheong.
If this place and the continent could communicate, what could we do?
Hearing that, Jincheong tilted her head as to what the meaning of asking such a question was, but she looked at the two again in surprise at the existence of a subspace gate installed in Talos and the existence of Hosea and Joshua, who could recreate the subspace gate if they had the materials. .
“If that’s true, it would be possible to create an indescribable gigantic guild.”
“From the beginning, we plan to make business here a branch of the europe, which is with the empire. We sell our specialties here to the empire. We can sell the empire’s specialties here.”
Hearing those words, Qin Qing fell into thought for a moment.
Then I came to the idea that it might be easier to build a base there than I thought.
The hardest thing about the small continent was that, in the end, it was necessary to procure various items by somehow local procurement while carrying only limited items.
In a place full of countless venomous snakes and venomous insects, as well as all sorts of bizarre and harmful creatures, considering the busyness of preparing for such poisons, the subspace gate was indeed a revolution.
Also, considering that all kinds of items that can be obtained from the small continent also have great value on the mainland, but are difficult to transport to the mainland, this was a really great opportunity.
“But I’m afraid it won’t be too difficult for Delis Sojour.”
At those words, Noori just laughed and said.
“I can say this because I still don’t know Delis. Delis is a person who has achieved a gigantic top group called the Euro Top by herself, not only in her own country, but also in a foreign country, and even in an empire.”
“Ah…”
Yes.
Come to think of it, despite the fact that he had already heard the story, he hadn’t had a chance to show off his abilities so far, so Nuri reminded him of what he had forgotten, and Jincheong looked at Delis again.
Jincheong thought about something for a while, and then made a proposal to Delis.
Can you put your own private affairs in this business?
“Are you talking about Jincheong’s monk?”
“It will greatly reduce the time to build personal relationships here in the East, and in many ways it will be of great help in understanding the culture and customs of this place. We will need a foundation to organize and process items from the continent, and we will also need a means to produce, store, and distribute various items and equipment, and our Samus can help with that.”
At those words, Dellis groaned and pondered for a while.
“Then, how do you plan to divide the stake? As you know, the existence of the gate is the power that can easily bring the huge foundation of the Euro Headquarters that I already have in the empire to this place.”
In a word, the help Jincheong said would be acceptable because the situation is urgent right now, so it would save time, but it literally only shortened the time for what Delis could do alone in the not-too-distant future.
“You know. That’s why I’m going to do this. Please resell the by-products from the small continent to us.”
At those words, Dellis groaned and pondered for a while.
“Don’t worry. I’ll pay for all those by-products on my honor.”
Delis thought for a moment.
What was Jincheong’s intention when he said that?
And it didn’t take long to get to the answer.
Dangerous small continent.
And in such a barren environment, the amount of items that could be transported at one time was extremely limited.
Even if you don’t have it, it’s not an exaggeration to see that it’s a price, even if you don’t even have a way to carry it properly, so even if you pay for it all, even if you pay for it, these noble objects are no different from weapons just by having a considerable amount.
As the quantity is small compared to the one you are looking for, you will be able to stand on top of your opponent beyond just being money.
That was the power of all kinds of resources from the small continent.
Realizing that, Dellis raised the corner of his mouth and added a condition.
“Of course, of course, it would be natural to provide your infrastructure and background for free to the top of the euro, right? This is also included in the terms of the contract.”
“Oh, you’re a bigger person than I thought.”
In the short time, Jincheong caught what his monk was aiming for and sighed at the appearance of Delis, who demanded the return.
“Okay. Our Samantha will support the top of the Euro in a kingdom, and we will provide our Samantha’s connections and distribution networks indefinitely, as well as support facilities and equipment. Under that condition, all goods obtained from the small continent will be traded with our Samantha. Is to do”
“Of course, except for the items we will use ourselves.”
“This”
I hope you won’t miss that part.
“Good”
Jincheong, who caught a glimpse of some of Delis’ abilities, realized once again how the task, which was supposed to comfort Delis, was the right job for Delis, and already felt exhausted.
I’m already at a loss as to how to explain this.
Then, a hawk flew into the sky, and a few days later, while the party learned about the basics of martial arts from Jincheong and memorized an illustrated book on the various creatures of the small continent, the priest who was contacted by Jincheong officially proceeded to sign a contract. People arrived at Biryu.
And in the ongoing negotiations to dry the blood, Jin Qing saw Delis and felt that he was more like a seasoned merchant who had gone through all the pre-natal battles.
It was just because she didn’t have a chance to show off her unique ability. She felt once again how great she was when the place where she was active appeared, and Jin Qing and those who came out of her monks just shook their heads excitedly. .
Clearly, at first glance, this side seems to be advantageous, but the negotiations continued sluggishly and for a long time amidst the tension as if you would open your eyes and Kobe if you lost your guard for a moment. However, in a situation where it was beneficial to make a contract, the contract was made between each other.
After staying in Biryu for about a month and completing all the tasks to be done here, Jincheong sees the coffin hanging from the back of the black giant named Talos. And tilted his head slightly.
The ghost’s spiritual power, asleep in the coffin, had increased, albeit slightly.
Yes, no matter how alive they are, those whose bodies are frozen and are in a state of suspended animation actually increase their spiritual powers?
In response to that surprising fact, Jincheong cautiously asked Loa, the father of the genie.
And at those words, Roa looked very angry and surprised.
“Oh, really? YuRia is recovering?”
“Looks like he didn’t know. It’s insignificant, but his spiritual power has definitely increased a little.”
Tia said her mother was now at ease, but how could she accept that easily?
However, the fact that she was recovering little by little even in the midst of such a frozen state allowed Roa to be relieved.
“Then how much better?”
“Compared to a month ago, the size of the nobleman’s spiritual power has increased by one watermelon seed.”
At that, Roa uh… And she put on a slightly disappointed expression.
“Don’t think lightly of that. It’s difficult for even a fairly advanced simbeop to show this level of supernormal ability.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Of course, it’s not the level of absolute knowledge that no one can learn carelessly, but even among the most outstanding simbeop that can be learned in general, this level of supernatural ability is not easily seen. It’s a simbeop that is only revealed to the core center.”
As a result, Loa was able to greatly relieve the burden on her heart.
I was very worried that Yuria’s condition would get worse if she was frozen for too long, but it is actually getting better.
In the meantime, I remembered one fact that I had forgotten again.
Now she said to herself that it would be nice to have her body, but it wouldn’t matter if she didn’t.
YuRia really literally did it little by little, very slowly, even while her body was completely frozen.
However, even by the standards of a Murim person like Jincheong, he was recovering surprisingly quickly.

“To rot…”
Woojin was one of the parakho that could be found anywhere.
At one time, he was a young man with a bright future, but now he is just a loner, getting drunk on drugs and gambling, wasting his family fortune and no one helping him.
For such Woojin, the recently opened shop in Biryu was somewhat of an eyesore.
Someone is so embarrassed because they don’t even have enough money for a day’s medicine, but someone goes on a winning streak as soon as they are born with the famous Baekryongmun on their back.
“Above the euro? What a strange name.”
It’s not a fee, it’s a euro? It’s not even a flower name.
Huh? Come to think of it, is the euro the name of a currency? I think I heard it somewhere, but I don’t know.
It was said that they managed to bring in goods from the West beyond the goddamn country of Galton and sell them, but it was obvious that it was a lie.
Galton, what kind of guys were they? Selling stuff over there? Hey. They must have been items that had passed through China.
But Woo-jin’s reasoning made no sense.
The Galton country was a country where conversations were difficult and the language was difficult to communicate, but it was not an ‘enemy country’.
It is a country that is so tired that sometimes it makes me wish it was an enemy country, and it is more hostile than an enemy country, but it was not an enemy country anyway.
But Jina Guk was really the enemy.
Excluding the Sorby Empire, which occupies the entire central area alone, the top leaders in the north are Jina and Tian.
It was split in two and listened to the sound of the kingdom, but at one time it was a country that listened to the sound of the empire like the Sorby Empire, but it was split in two and eventually downgraded to a kingdom.
What is regrettable is that the two kingdoms were still in the days of the Empire. It is true that the forces that were friendly to one kingdom at the time of the empire called Zatan became Tian far away, and the forces that were hostile to one kingdom passed right next to it.
What’s more bitter is that between Jina and Tian, who’s stronger is Jina.
Do you trade with the Sorby Empire through the Gina Kingdom? It literally made more sense to trade through the Galton Kingdom.
In fact, the most reasonable way would be trade through sea routes.
That fact was not part-time job for Woo-jin.
It just hurts my stomach that someone is sweeping away money so easily.
That is also an outsider.
But the people of the city liked it.
It was because as Yuro Sanghoe came to Biryu, many people came and went to Biryu, and as much as the floating population increased, it was because even if it was not Euroo Sanghoe, they were making a lot of profit by buying other merchants and goods of Biryu as well as lodging and meals.
Woojin didn’t like that.
Everyone is happy that their pockets are getting thicker, but isn’t he still a pitiful person?
Then, it felt as if it was the fault of the euro company that made me unhappy.
While he was building up his hatred for no reason against Euro Corporation, one day he went to see what was going on in front of Euro Corporation and saw something in a commotion.
In front of Sanghoe, the giant ear, which was usually sealed with a gold chain, was standing up. I didn’t know it until now, but there was a small coffin hanging from the back of the giant ear.
No one was paying attention to the coffin, but Woo-jin was curious about what it was for some reason.
Surely you wouldn’t wear something like that for no reason.
So Woo-jin wandered around for a while, looking for an opportunity.
Seeing how the Euro store was packing up their clothes as if they were going to go quite far with the giant, he seemed very hectic, so he thought there would definitely be an opportunity. It came up behind the ears.
Woojin, who was examining the coffin firmly fixed on the back of the giant ear with an elaborately made locking device, succeeded in unlocking the locking devices with a long grunt.
Inside the coffin was the frozen body of a woman.
She thought she was a child, but her very full breasts said that this woman was only small in size and not a child.
Seeing her dead body with a hole in her chest as if her heart had been pierced by something, she was frightened for a moment, but Woo-jin was fascinated by the beauty of her corpse in front of her eyes.
Indeed, even if it is Dalgi or Poppy in the legend, can it be as beautiful as this woman in front of her now?
Could it be that the gold string that was struck to seal her giant ears was not sealing this woman but the giant ears?
Her appearance, which was so beautiful that she shook her world, was hardly human.
As soon as the thought reached that point, Woojin suddenly became frightened.
She wondered if she might have unsealed the great monster dangerous enough to shake the country.
Didn’t Dal-gi, the clever nine-tailed fox, also shake the country?
Woojin hurriedly closed the coffin lid, locked the lock again, and hurriedly jumped off the giant and ran away.
And she huddled in her house like that and trembled with fear for a long time, but even in the midst of that, the beauty of the mysterious woman couldn’t get out of her head.
That made her even more frightened.
She seemed to be firmly possessed even if she herself was possessed by the monster.
But as time went on, she began to feel that it was all right now.
Wouldn’t she be happy even if her liver was eaten by a beautiful monster?
With only the desire to see him one more time filled his heart, Woo-jin eventually packed up all the remaining assets in the house and left the house.
Then, cautiously, no one secretly began to follow the crowd of Eurosanghoe, which was just starting out.
