Lemegeton 178

Chapter 178 – 3. Land of the Golden Hair (2)

There is a ship that goes back and forth between Newre and Haenam on a regular basis, so they were not isolated in Newre.

Comparatively, compared to when I was in one kingdom, I could obtain items that could only be obtained from a small continent at a cheaper price, and I could obtain items that could be obtained from a kingdom easily by exchanging letters through the subspace warehouse, so I was able to accelerate my training even more. There was.

According to the original plan, the plan was to build a base in the small continent by now and send the goods in the small continent to the mainland through the subspace warehouse, but the situation became very strange.

“Even so, the plan isn’t completely wrong.”

No matter how big and strong the boat between Haenam and Newre was, it took about a month. In addition, even the waterway is closed in winter and summer, so no matter how diligently you transport it, the price here and the price in one kingdom are inevitably large, and now, beyond the difficulties of such transportation, there is a need to obtain and transmit goods at local cost in real time. In this situation, Baekryongmun and the top of the euro were really on the way to victory.

The only Merchant Merchant to have a distribution network connecting a kingdom and an empire, and now connected to Newre Island on a small continent.
It’s not even the strongest clan in a kingdom, but it solves the problems of all sorts of monsters, overturns the highly popular Baekryongmun, and helps each other.

But even so, Roa felt frustrated.
Arriving and not leaving

Roa, who wielded the sword for a while and tried to control his mind, finally sighed and withdrew the sword.

Loa headed towards the building where his son and Jincheong were working.
The children did not rest even in the boat and sought learning from Jincheong, and in the end, they obtained all the learning and enlightenment that Jincheong could give to the children.

Jincheong was just beside such children, giving them advice they sought, watching the children’s progress, gaining enlightenment himself, and strengthening the coffins of Talos and Yuria through various items obtained here.

When he actually arrived, the shape of Yuria’s coffin was completely different from before.

As before, all kinds of amulets were not attached to each other, but had a strange appearance that was difficult to describe, and a bundle of amulets were contained in a small tube next to it.

As if what the hell was going on, the bundle of amulets were breaking apart and bursting in real time, so Roa was dripping with cold sweat.

Could it be that the attack on Yuria is intensifying?

Jincheong was working so hard on something, and the children seemed so focused, so Roa watched quietly to see if he would get in the way if he talked to her.

And after a while It was only after changing the amulet bundle three times that the situation in which the stretching amulets exploded calmed down, and Jincheong and the children sighed in relief.

“Are you okay now?”
“Um… I’m sorry. Maybe because I came inside the seal, the demons’ interference got stronger. I knew they came in, but I couldn’t afford to react.”

Hosea and Joshua, who sat down on the floor with fur and fur, were also covered in sweat with their stretched hands, probably because the situation had been extremely difficult a moment ago.

“I’m already 12. The reason I decided and went crazy like this”
“What?”
“Ahhhhh. They’ve been like this a few times before. Today was even more severe, but I was really surprised at first. The amulets in my mother’s casket just broke through…”

Those words gave Loa a chill.

“Hey, twelfth?”
“But don’t worry, Dad. I’ve never been pierced yet.”

At the same time, the twins started talking with Jincheong.
Things like that, if the attack continues to get stronger at this momentum, how many times will it be able to block it?

“Hey guys…”
“… I, that side probably has its limits too. Every time a strong attack comes, it takes a long time.”

I wonder if Jincheong was also very tired, so in the end she slumped down and sat down.

“I’m worried. I don’t know which youkai is doing this, but if you enter that youkai’s territory, these attacks will become even more intense.”
“…If this attack was done by a fox, what would happen?”

At that, Jingcheng shook her head.

“No. The fox, the owner of this land, has been silent since he made this land his home. I heard that he is waiting for something, but it has never been revealed what it is. Now I don’t think the fox will move. I don’t think so”

Didn’t move…

In the meantime, Roa suddenly remembered one thing.

“Didn’t you say that the Crimson Ant was related to this place before?”
“That’s right. The monster ant called hostility is the species that originated here.”
“It is said that the enemy was born by a demon, that is to say, a being called a devil, but if he was born here, isn’t he born of a great youkai?”

I didn’t understand.
Then how did it turn out?

“In the land of the small continent, there are generally only two places that can be active. As I said before, only the tip of the peninsula area where the small continent and Newre Island extend toward each other is the only area that humanity has barely occupied.”

Hose and Nuzi.

“Even in Hos and Nugi, most of the area is unexplored, and even this is barely active around the barely occupied peninsula.”

Meanwhile, Jincheng scribbled a rough map on the floor with his finger.

From left to right: Hose, Nue, and Oshi.
A huge inland sea between Hoth and Nugi.

“The Hoth area is the most unilaterally active area. This is the land of the Hundred Ghost Nights. It’s a disaster that came true. That’s why the total amount of power is the strongest among the four disasters, but it’s the weakest because the concentration of power isn’t achieved. That’s why the land is also the safest to operate.”

And Jincheong, who paused for a while, continued talking.

“And the enemy also began in this hose.”
“Yes?”
“A collection of innumerable misogynists who have given up even naming each entity. In the midst of this maelstrom, innumerable new monsters are still repeating the birth and disappearance of Hoth. In such a Hoth, the devil is suitable to become a great disaster on this earth. I just chose a monster and made it my servant.”

I wondered if it would conflict with the saying that the devil made it.

“I think the explanation was a bit lacking. That statement is not wrong either. It is not that the devil just waited and picked it up, but it interferes and influences in the birth and extinction of countless monsters. I’m a food monk, something like locusts will be born naturally.”
“…”

The birth of Crimson Ant seemed to have been born out of more complicated circumstances than he thought.

“Then, is Yuria’s heart also in the hose?”
“There is no way to know for sure.”

Roa said ah at that and took out the cards in her luggage.

This card was created with Yuria’s spiritual power through a part of the magic book.
If this object reproduces Yuria’s precognitive ability in a very limited way, then surely…

Loa immediately began reading through the cards.

Except for the back of the card, the front side of the card is all white, except for the basic form of the card.
Nothing was drawn until it was laid on the floor and turned over, and the moment it was turned over, the content was decided.

And the location of YuRia’s heart is in the hose, as expected by Roa, if the fortune telling is correct.

If so, will she be able to retrieve Yuria’s heart once she reaches Hos?

Card denied it.

If so, the card was silent about where to get Yuria’s heart.

“Gee, Jincheong?”
“Calm down!”

You mean you can’t get it on the small continent?
But Yuria’s heart, no, come to think of it, was it including the heart or something that could replace the heart?

Roa gulped and guessed whether she would be able to retrieve Yuria’s heart.

A fortune telling appeared saying that she could be recovered fortunately.

But when she tried again, she was silent as to where she could get it.

Loa divuted again. So where can she find a replacement for Yuria’s heart?

Turning over the card with a trembling heart, Loa focused on an island that appeared clearly on the card.

“Gold?”

A mountain of all kinds of treasures.
However, all those treasures were all gold. Not mixed with any other treasures or jewels. Made only of gold.
Gold bracelet and gold necklace. Gold chain. Goldfinch. Gold statue, etc.

In fact, the card also had Gold written on it.

“What does this mean?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know either.”

After thinking about it for a long time, the two only carefully guessed whether it would be possible to save it with great wealth.

“Then does that mean that we can get something to replace Yuria’s heart only if we build a mountain of goods like in this picture?”
“Whoa… Maybe it’s really like that. If it’s something like that, it’s really worth it to ask for it.”

However, if this interpretation was correct, it was said that in the end, things that could save Yuria could be bought with money.

“She’s got a reason why she has to make money like crazy.”
“Tsk…”

“Let’s try one last thing. When will we get it?”

Laying the card on the floor and flipping it over, Loa was taken aback and his body stiffened.

The card showed a thief.

Let alone finding it, they would lose even what they had.

“Yuria…”
“Seriously! There’s no confirmation yet that she’s the one we’re going to lose!”
“But, but!! Trying to get her heart back, what more do you have to lose!!”
“So calm down! Isn’t that what your children might be referring to!”

At those words, Roa thumped and a great shock came.

That’s right… My child…
Yuria and my treasure…

Yuria is more precious than my life, but even if both YuRia and I die, what does that mean if her children disappear…

“You have to be alert. This is not a prophecy! It’s just showing the highest probability of what’s going to happen. You have to be alert to prevent it from happening!”

Loa, who had been out of her mind for a while, slapped her on the cheek and tried to catch her up.
Okay. Whether she was YuRia’s body, or she was YuRia and her own, her child.

If someone unknown enemies were aiming for them, he had to be even more alert.

“Please… Please help me. Please help me so that I don’t lose Yuria and the treasures that are more precious than my life and Yuria’s life…”
“I think so even if you don’t tell me.”

After thinking about it for a while, Jincheong put the card into Roa’s hand again.

“Just one more fortune”
“…Yes?”
“Foretell who the thief is”

When the cards were laid again and turned over, two cards responded.

Snake. And fox.
The fact that the snake came out first meant that the snake was the main culprit and the fox was the accomplice.

“Damn…”
“Jincheong…?”
“If it’s a snake, it’s a big deal. We’re in the area of ​​Oshi, where we can’t go. It’s the strongest monster among the four disasters.”

And there was nothing to say about the fox.

The owner of Nure, who was said to be friendly to humans.
Because it was so obvious that she was her nine-tailed fox among the four great catastrophes.

“…”
“…”

Now that he has walked into the throat of a thief who will steal something more precious than his life to Loa.
Roa and Jincheong couldn’t say anything.

It’s just the weakest of the great youkai.
It was a great monster that used to fool the country by itself, and now it is one of the four major disasters that is stronger than ever.

It was impossible to do on their own.

“Should I go back now?”
“Um…”

At that moment, Jincheong hurriedly put his hand into his bosom and grabbed the amulet as much as he could in his hand and scattered it in the air.

The talisman bundles scattered and scattered melted and disappeared in an instant, just like snow melting in front of water, and Roa was breathless in the suffocating dense atmosphere.

Eh, what the hell is this…

“This, this…”

That was the moment.
The reason why the owner of this dense aura appeared.

Her soft and light footsteps and the figure that appeared covered her lower face with a fan in her hand, but Roa was still shocked by the sight.

No matter how hard I tried to hide it, there was a face that I couldn’t recognize.

However, the color changed from blue to gold.
Even if it had pointy fox ears, there was no way I wouldn’t notice it.

“U… Ria?”
“Come to your senses, Loa Sohyeop! She is the owner of this land. She’s a golden girl with a white face!!”

Although it was the first time I had seen it in person, there was no way I couldn’t recognize that feature.

A nine-tailed fox with golden fur.
When she saw her in person, she thought that her portrait did not represent even one tenth of her beauty. She hurriedly shook her head and tried to come to her senses.

Perhaps it was not an exaggeration to say that just by being there, countries were fighting with each other, and conflicts broke out. Jincheong, who was almost shaken by her appearance, tried to keep her spirits together.

As if it were her mourning clothes, she appeared in a black kimono with nine golden tails, long blonde hair, and golden fox ears hanging down. He confronted her with a lot of tension.

Even though she wasn’t trying to be particularly enchanting, she was trying to shake her heart just by looking at her.

Jincheng looked at Loa worriedly, but she seemed to be shaking in a different way than he was.

She looks so much like Yuria. She seems to be aiming for Yuria, but since she looks exactly like Yuria, she must be confused.

Indeed, Loa was so embarrassed that the face she had missed so much appeared and blocked her.
I wasn’t shaken by the appearance of the white-faced golden hair. It was only because her face was so much like her teeth that she loved.

She was not a Loa who would be fascinated by her face, who had grown accustomed to seeing her every day since she was too young to be fascinated by her appearance.

As Jincheong confronted the white-faced golden mother, she kept recalling the fortune-telling she had seen earlier.

Thief. Snake and fox.

The main snake and the accomplice fox.

“Loa small hyeop! Hurry up and go to the Seonin right away!”
“Jincheong?”
“The white-faced golden hair is just to keep us away from her. Come on!”

Urgent window! Roa hesitated for a moment as she drew her sword and saw Jincheong blocking the front of the white-faced golden mo, but she hurriedly ran towards Yuria.

Please! Please don’t be late!!

At that moment, an enormous yogi exploded from behind her and her roar resonated, but Roa just closed her tight eyes once and ran towards Yuria, praying for Jincheong to be safe.

And at that moment, Kwaaang!! The loa hurriedly ran towards Talos at the sight of Talos staggering and breaking the walls of the building with a loud roar.

“Children! Open the cockpit!!”

As Talos staggered and staggered, she covered the cockpit with one hand and the cockpit opened slightly, and Loa hurriedly jumped toward Talos.

She hurriedly climbed into Talos, and as soon as the cockpit closed, she saw the terrified children and Tia in dismay.

“Oh, Dad…”
“The situation is not good… I thought we would meet someday, but already… 」
“Children… Are you okay?”

Hosea and Joshua looked at Roa with expressions as if they were about to cry.

“Dad… Well, we’re fine. Ha, but… But Mom…”

At those words, Loa hurriedly looked behind her back.
There, the coffin that should have been fastened behind Talos’s back was nowhere to be seen.

“!!”

Looking inside the hastily destroyed wall, there was a man with a hearty smile, holding a very large coffin in one hand, although it was small compared to adult coffins.

“Yu, give me Yuria!!”

Loa hurriedly manipulated Talos and stretched her hand toward Yuria’s coffin, but the snake-eyed man kicked Talos’s hand with a thump.

Loa, not understanding the situation, tried to reach out her hand on the other side of hers again, but before that, the chest where the cockpit was already located was empty! As he was struck, the gigantic body of Talos broke again and flew through the air, destroying several buildings and rolling around.

“It is a pity. You do not have the strength to defend a treasure that is not worthy of your measure.”
“Keugh!”

Should I use the Gravity Homet? No, but if YuRia’s coffin is also affected…

Through his aura flowing through Talos, it was felt that there was no damage to Talos, but it was too shocking for Loa.

To think he could kick Talos’ huge body so easily in the form of an ordinary human. How could this be?

“If you want to resent me, blame the stupid fox. The fox who made a contract without even knowing the identity of the thing he was going to hand over.”
“Stop the unknown sounds and give me Yuria!!”

The aura was circulated as much as possible, and Hosea and Joshua additionally expressed their abilities, further enhancing Talos’ defense and power.

Even if he couldn’t use the Gravity Homet swordsmanship, he incorporated the magic of gravity into his movements, adding an enormous martial force so that he would not bounce off like before.

The man ignored the huge hand flying towards him and fell backwards with a hook.

“You’re strong, but you’re sluggish.”

Kwajik! And Talos’ hand broke through the wooden floor, and Roa gritted her teeth and looked at Yuria’s coffin again.

She kicked the floor again and rushed at it, but more and more despair began to settle on Roa’s face as YuRia’s coffin was getting farther and farther away.

“That, there… Stand there!!”

More. More speed was needed.
As a result, Loa instinctively understood the nature of gravity and took Talos infinitely lightly. Lightly. Made lightly

Twoung -!!

“Give me back!!”

The fact that Talos had caught up with him at some point made the snake man’s face look as if he was surprised, but that was all.

Bang! Talos, who had been kicked, tumbled, turned around, and tumbled to the ground.
It feels so light.

“Speed ​​is good, but it’s not that limitless.”

At that, the loa gritted its teeth again and raised Talos to his feet. More precisely. More precisely.
Lighter. Heavier.

It was antinomic and contradictory, but it was actually manipulated that way.

Roa stretched out her hand, raising her concentration to the limit and dealing with gravity in a way that would normally be impossible.

Reach…

Please reach out!!

Please!

The snake-eyed man made a puzzled expression for the first time at Roa’s appearance.

Cold sweat flowed at the sight of Roa approaching beyond his own expectations.
I don’t know yet, but at this rate, if I do something wrong, I’m afraid that I might miss the treasure I’ve been able to get my hands on.

However, that was the moment.

Tuong! With that sound, Talos was thrown far away and flew away.

There, Tamamo holding a black fan was looking at him with an expression that seemed to be helping him this time.

Haha!! I hope you will help me”
“Get out of here right now. If you don’t keep the contract, I will definitely take out your liver and chew it up.”

It really wasn’t empty talk.
As a yōkai whose power is the power of that tradition, if they break the contract, then the eight warriors who have lost the tradition will no longer be Tamamo’s opponents.

“Ah yes. Keep it.

Talos, who had flown far away again, jumped up, but at the sight of the man who had gone far away to the sea, Loa’s Talos fell to his knees without power.

Unbelievable…

Tamamo felt so much guilt when she saw Loa who had fallen into such great disappointment, but she tried to turn away.

She knew that it was not right and that she would greatly blame herself if she knew it, but she was too tired now.

Only once.
This time, even if she did something wrong just once, she definitely wanted to see her again.

“This, this…”

Jincheong, who had been chasing Tamamo late, realized what had happened when he saw Talos appearing in a mess and sitting helplessly, even though he said he had no fatal wounds.

“Oh my God… Golden Face. What the hell have you done?”
“…”

Know. That what she did was never right.

Still… Even so…

I couldn’t wait any longer for Toba.
