Chapter 515 – Beyond Eternal Sleep (1)
After the first day of the finals, I visited the manor house.
‘For the first day, there was something to see.’
In particular, the place called L Whatsigi Studio, which came out as the last batter, was quite admirable.
It’s because they overcame the first round even though they didn’t seem to get the artificial mithril I sowed. Instead, the golem was halved, but with three days until the next tournament, I don’t know how to fix it.
‘The publicity of artificial mithril has become extensive.’
There was one intentional gap in the rules of this contest.
That is, ‘if it is an artificially made material, it is paid as part of the technology’.
What do you mean? To put it simply, this is it.
─Natural mithril? It’s a material that can only be obtained by paying money, right? Doesn’t it fit the purpose of the contest to compete for golem production skills? Is it dismissive?
─But a mithril made by a person is acceptable. Are you twisting? So, did you guys make artificial mithril too? Perhaps… Are you lagging behind in technology?
How about Isn’t it easy to understand?
So, this final was actually a place where we could publicize the technology of our Dynamis workshop in a big way, no matter how it went.
Of course, there was no way that LingLingi No. 6, which Clara and I put all our effort into, would get tired of those improvised mithril-plated golems.
We went through a pilot system called Lingling 5 in the middle and reached 6, this is it. It would be unfair if there was a big gap in technology.
Anyway, the result of watching the first day competition like that.
It was hard to imagine that we would lose this tournament.
A certain guild that the lord of Alishik sponsored before he was possessed by Sidanav was no match for Lalilura.
“Hmm. Hello.”
“Oh, yes! Hello! It’s Cidanave! Please take good care of me!”
In that way, the high priestess of the Church of Hathor, who met for the first time while avoiding Tolio, the lord’s son, who behaved like a bigot… What should I say? He was a person who seemed to have taken the current position with one real talent.
To paraphrase the words once more, it means that people could only be seen as one side and the other side.
‘There are many but few people of other religions, but they have a seasoned attitude to match.’
The Mithril class, Signatio, and the religious people I saw were all people with a single shot at combat power or political power.
However, the priestess sitting at the same table with me and smiling broadly didn’t look like a deep-seated person even when I looked at her arm, so I was a bit surprised and even embarrassed.
It’s just that it’s only when compared to the standards of the past, and in terms of ‘speciality’, Sidanav was also a considerable person.
‘… What a fucking beauty she is.’
I, Kang Buk-ho, am a forager who can confidently say that there is no woman prettier than my wives.
However, Sidanav was a woman so beautiful that even when I was like that, it made me say, “Fuck you, you acknowledge it.”
Our wives are also beauties that the president of the agency would give out his business card to, even if they were slapped round and round by actors or idols who make a living for their visuals, but Shidanav was literally a beauty on the level of a state-of-the-art.
Like Audrey Hepburn or the poppy in the legend, her appearance was basic and somehow eye-catching.
“Lol. It took a long time to meet you. Are you more than happy?”
Oh, except for the behavior.
I smiled wryly at the sloppy smile that broke my prettiest beauty.
Should I say I’m glad that I’m half asleep? It was an unexpected advantage to not have lust against a beauty of this size.
“I’m sorry about that. If the lord had delivered the news, he would have returned sooner, but it seems that there was an omission in the contact information.”
I naturally toss the fault to the lord and his son.
No, it’s toss and shit, and those bastards are right.
‘Looking at them, it looks like they didn’t contact me at all so that I could come back even a little later.’
Yeongju says he’s been sleeping all day today, so he has nothing to say.
The real Hennesses and the people of the Armials family are fairies, fairies.
“Oh! Ah! No, I don’t mean that! I meant it was a pleasure to meet you!”
Sida Nav shook her hand and scrambled as if she had stumbled upon her words. Then the gold jewelry she wore under her thin robes—bracelets, anklets, her necklace, and so on—clashed and jingled.
‘… Somehow, it seems that he resembles Fran.’
Not a few similarities were noticeable in her large breasts, short stature, and eye color.
It’s also the character that seems a bit weak.
“Then I’m glad. Nice to meet you too. I am suffering forever because of the bad curse.”
“Yeah. I heard about it. I will be sure to do it for you!”
– Hot! Clenched into fists, Sidanav led me to the treatment room.
She must have been a woman of considerable title, but she only had one person with her. I was curious about that, so I asked her as she walked.
“Do you have an escort?”
“Uh, that… Dorian next to you is also very reassuring, isn’t it?”
I replied as if I was a bit embarrassed, so I thought it was a topic I didn’t want to talk about and when I tried to change the course of the conversation, she seemed embarrassed and couldn’t stand the silence.
“Well, actually… My other escort told me that he senses a disturbing presence in Alishik. So she said she would look for it now and then disappeared.”
“… You mean an escort?”
“Yeah! Nord-sama probably knows… Do you remember Nefertiti?”
Nefertiti?
I blinked and responded immediately.
“Don’t remember. Wait, that escort… “
“Yes. It’s Nefertiti. It is the strength of our church.”
Right.
About the Church of Hathor, which I had heard within myself for several days, I had told Beim and others to some extent.
‘Hathor is a god who has a history of being blackened in mythology, and he calls that blackened state Sekhmet.’
So, when I heard that name, I also thought ‘just in case’ and thought of that impressive light blue haired woman.
Isn’t there a place where it’s easier to realize that it’s a human connection than this other world? I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t imagined a reunion.
In reality, she seems to be more concerned about the safety of the city than meeting me.
It was a natural decision even for the escort target. Wouldn’t it be better to share the news that the bait was sprayed?
‘By the way, as far as I know, the Sekhmet Guild is famous for being so ferocious that Frank would have been frightened just by hearing the name…’
Is it a form of calling followers as the Church of Hathor, launching the Sekhmet Adventurer’s Guild, and spreading its roots in the world?
When you think about it that way, it’s a bit strange.
First of all, why is the Sekhmet Guild, an affiliated organization of the Church of Hathor, that seems to be fine, so crazy?
‘It’s better if it’s a disagreement between the church and the guild. Perhaps the Church of Hathor itself has deep roots,’
However, if you look at Nefertiti on this side, there was little chance of that.
Even that ‘worship’ is not forced upon the goddesses.
So, the most curious thing is why Nefertiti chose the Sekhmet Adventurer’s Guild.
‘If you want to get revenge on
It may have been the Cult of Hart Law that took her in, she said, perhaps from the loss of her family.
“The cleanup won’t be over right away, I’m guessing it will take a few days! To put it simply, today is the first day of the ceremony!”
Shidanav raised his fingers as if to show off his knowledge. She was like a child imitating the announcer on TV.
“So there will be a chance to meet Nefertiti during the contest! I’ll make sure it’s not awkward in the middle!”
“Thank you for that. By the way, are you very fluent in Britannia?”
Even in this world, the language barrier is high.
In particular, the languages of Narmer-Nile and Britannia are almost polar opposite, but they seem to be smarter than I thought. Sida Nav covered her mouth as she stretched her face.
“Oh, really? I studied hard because I thought it would be helpful for missionary work, isn’t it strange?”
“Yeah. He is very fluent at the level of a native speaker.”
“What a relief! Hearing from the locals gives me confidence!”
─Glance. The escort beside her rolled her eyes anxiously. She seems uneasy when she talks in terms she doesn’t understand.
If the character of the escort was like this, anyone would be worried. I was worried that I might make a mistake in my words without knowing it.
“Lol. That’s fortunate. When we first met earlier, he stayed silent without saying anything, so I thought he did something wrong.”
It’s because I was watching you with Odin’s eyes until you walked over from a distance.
Fortunately, Sida didn’t seem to care, and Nav smiled broadly as if to highlight her beauty. She must be a very incessant laughing and laughing person. Yes.
Are those religious people special to their personalities as if they were watered with water or drunk with alcohol? I think Nefertiti was pretty strong as a child.
“Oh, we’ve already arrived! Let’s go!”
– Wow! Shidanav, who ran energetically, opened the stone door with difficulty and went inside.
“I will wait here. If anything happens, please call me right away.”
The upright escort greeted and closed the door as well as his neat attire.
─Kikik, thump!
“Um, scented candles are enough… “
Shidanav looked very busy laying something on the sarcophagus and burning incense.
“Oh, can you change into the clothes over there and come?”
“Yep.”
“First of all, I’ll neutralize the mana that pollutes Nord’s body and then take it out.”
After changing her clothes and waiting for a while, she made me lie down on the sarcophagus and said,
After entering the stone bathtub where the holy water dripped, I asked awkwardly.
“Out? Aren’t you treating me?”
“Yeah. Oh no. Cure… So, it is correct to purify the mana of darkness and yin.”
─Aww. She wrapped holy water around the sarcophagus and held her holy symbol.
“Neutralizing it inside the body is inefficient and bad for the body because of the body’s mana resistance. So if you drive mana outside, then you go and pour it into this jar.”
“… It seems a bit like how to make a mummy, but if you have any grudges against me, please speak up.”
Of course, there is no such thing as a blade here.
Shida Nav also observed with Odin’s eyes, but she was an opponent who showed no trace of the mana of the old gods or the mana of darkness and yin. She doesn’t even look like she’s hidden her true form with transformation magic.
Still, it can’t be helped that it suddenly becomes a fire. Wouldn’t it be nice if you let me lie on a bed that looks like a normal bed instead of a sarcophagus?
When I said it like a joke, Sidanav laughed like a flower blooming.
“Ahaha, grudge! Rather, as I said, I’m glad I could meet you. Since I received the offering, I will do my best!”
After saying that, Shidanav reverently cast a spell as if to dispel my anxiety.
《─If you want your actions to be good (ir mr.K nfr sSm.K).
And if you wish to save yourself from all evil (nHm tw m-a Dwt nbt), reject the opportunity to indulge your greed (aHA tw Hr sp n awn ib).
He binds his wife and husband together (iw nS.S Hmt TAy), imposes all evil (TAwt pw bint nbt), and breeds all hatred (arf pw n xbdt nbt).
As I matched the rhyme as if reciting a poem, the mana of light scattered by Sidanav permeated my body through the sarcophagus.
It’s like putting on some moisturizing cream. The problem is that there is a little too much soup.
The holy water turned black in the blink of an eye. It was quite embarrassing to be like a homeless person taking a bath in years, but Shida Nav kept squeezing mana out as her face hardened and her smile disappeared.
《There will be no grave for the greedy heart (nn wn is awn ib).
He who keeps the precepts of a good god is he who does his will (wAH s aqA.F mAat Sm r nmtt.F).
Rumble… !
The sarcophagus filled with holy water trembled.
‘Fuck, it feels like something is going wrong.’
I caused an earthquake in my pupils without being able to get up or lie down properly.
I kind of expected it.
My dark attribute talent is beyond standard. Maybe that’s why he was able to absorb darkness and negative mana without any side effects even in the ghost city and replace it with other mana.
That’s why there was no way that the dark and negative mana that was so thick that it could affect Juji beyond my tolerance was easily resolved.
‘But this is a bit… No, I think I’ve gone too far.’
Even if you do, side effects step 1. Erectile dysfunction.
Wasn’t it so weak that it was not even suspected of being a black magician by the expert Optum?
Perhaps, even after passing through the attribute test the other day, I was underestimating the magic talent I had——what the nameless goddess who blessed Dana had called it, a ‘vessel’.
Kwak Kk K K K K —!!
The dirty holy water escaped from the hole in the sarcophagus. The black water had filled the jar a long time ago and soaked Sidanav’s feet, charring the ceremonial field filled with sacred texts.
Shidanav spoke with a strained voice, then shouted as he raised the sacred sign.
《Therefore, if you are merciful to your mistakes (ir sf.K Hr sp xprw)── the bug’s disease will no longer get worse (xAt pw mrt nt btw, n xpr.N aq im.S)! !》
─Kuuuuuang!!
It was like closing the lid with a junk kick. The jar containing the holy water was sucking up more holy water than it seemed to have as it whirled around.
Sida Nav shouted, her face lit up.
“I did it! I did it!”
“Ah.”
It was only when I understood that I was screwed by her energetic shriek.
Shida Nav’s eyes, which had been clear as her attendant until her purification began, widened.
“Uh, huh? This is a little beyond imagination—”
─Fuhuaaaaa!!!
As if a tsunami had hit the inside, the jar flowed backwards, spewing holy water black enough to reach the ceiling.
Patty pounding…
I lay on the drained sarcophagus, and Nyda Nav rolled over behind me, drenching her clothes and face in the black rain.
The holy water that had turned black was salty.
I want to believe that it doesn’t taste like my broth.
“Pet. Pet, tweet! Khing! Kheung! Huh, sigh…”
Dunsida Nav sniffed at me as she sneezed, spitting black holy water into her mouth.
“… Nord. This holy water tastes like ink.”
“… I’m the one who ate some food.”
The purification ceremony on the first day was obviously a fiasco.
All right, fuck. I knew it wouldn’t be easy anyway.
