Chapter 230 – Chapter 11 – Help
[Great. Now that this woman is back, I’ll explain. If you have any questions in the meantime, please ask right away. Because it will be easier to understand that way.]
Fortunately, Yeo So-cheon succeeded in coming to her senses quickly, and she sat calmly in her seat while maintaining her usual expression.
Since she was making it clear that she should not touch what happened earlier, she also prepared to sit quietly and listen to her saintess’s words with a reflective attitude.
If she were the Socheon I knew, she might look so calm on the outside, but she would still be in chaos on the inside.
[First, I have to explain the race of vampires that you call the blood cult. They are beyond death. The concept of living and moving death. They are a new race born by the king of the undead. However, unlike the undead such as zombies and skeletons, the concept of which has long been recorded in the world by necromancers, they are a race created and appeared in the world by necromancers. Thanks to this, Warstein, the progenitor of such vampires and the master of all vampires, is much more loyal to him than other members of the family.]
“Uh. I have a question.”
[Yes. What is it?]
“What are necromancers. Zombies. Skeletons. Undead.? I know that vampires are the blood religion we are calling them now.”
[…
The saint placed her hand on her forehead after hearing the question from Dang A-yeong, who was listening to the saint’s words with an active attitude, even holding her record sheet.
You could have just said that when talking to me, but since all the people here were from Jungwon, if you said that, you would inevitably end up saying words that you couldn’t understand.
[… The necromancer is not that important, so you can skip it. Undead refers to living entities that have already died but come back to life for some reason and move around. These include zombies, skeletons, and vampires.]
“Aha.”
[… I need to be a little more careful with the words I use from now on. It’s been a long time since I’ve talked to someone other than the warrior…]
‘?’
Are you not talking to anyone but me?
[… I’ve been watching the warrior 24 hours a day for over 10 years, so I barely have time to talk to other people.]
‘Aha.’
Still, please talk to some friends or people like that. It would be bad for your mental health.
[Thank you for your consideration.]
After briefly exchanging personal communication with me again, I returned to reality and continued my explanation.
[Our world has been at war with those undead for hundreds of years, and we have succeeded in winning, although it has left us with great scars. Thanks to the success in subduing the king of the undead, all undead were extinct. However, vampires who would have clearly gone extinct were resurrected in this world for unknown reasons and began their activities again.]
“Don’t you know why they came over?”
[There is an assumption, but it is difficult to explain because it is complicated. In fact, I think it’s correct to say that I don’t know. However, if you look at their actions after being resurrected in this world, their goal itself is clear. The resurrection of their monarch.]
Yeo So-cheon already knew this.
They’re trying to summon their monarch to this world, and to do that, they’re hiding and doing shit.
[I’m telling you this just in case you don’t know, but it would be better not to try to stop him after he has already been resurrected. It is better not to know what effect the appearance of a being embodying the concept of death in the world will have on the world.]
-Gulp
“… What on earth is happening.”
[First, you have to be prepared to have half the world’s population fly away, right? Please keep this in mind. Stopping him isn’t the problem. Consider that the moment he is resurrected, it is effectively over. There isn’t much time left for you.]
The saint did not tell me exactly what was happening, but I knew what was happening.
First, the moment you are revived, a war will begin for a very long time
In the saint’s world, the human side had clearly defeated him.
The world is doomed to destruction due to the curse he left in the midst of extinction.
In the end, if he succeeds in resurrection, the fate of mankind will not be good, regardless of whether he wins or loses the next war.
The message was that we had to somehow prevent his resurrection.
[Now, then the important thing is how to prevent that resurrection. Well, it’s simple. He kills the lord of the vampires before he can perform the resurrection ritual. Even if you kill just one person, the progenitor of all vampires, all remaining vampires will disappear or lose their powers. But what? This is a story that the saint over there already knows.]
“… I think you know why I called you, other than that useless story I just told you.”
[Well, what I just said was actually just an explanation to help others understand. What you’re curious about is his weakness. Personality. It would be information that could actually be helpful in stopping him, such as where he might be. But… Those vampires’ biggest weaknesses, sunlight and divine power, don’t work in this world, right? The only way is to catch it directly with force. Can’t cross over flowing water. Weaknesses like not being able to enter the house of an uninvited person won’t help.]
“…”
[Ah, okay. Please bring at least a map. I’ll find a place for them to hide.]
When Yeo So-cheon, who had suffered humiliation and had not achieved much in her life, looked at her saint with cruel eyes, her saint raised both her hands and asked for her guidance.
“. Can you tell that there is only a map?”
[How long do you think I fought with them? As long as you have a map that properly describes the surrounding terrain and features, you can easily infer where they are hiding. I wouldn’t know if those people were aware of me and hid, but they came to another world and weren’t even aware of me, so if I judge them based on their habits, I can narrow down the scope.]
“… Just wait. I’ll find it and see.”
Yeo So-cheon said that and walked out of her house.
It seemed like he was really trying to get a map.
-Boom!
“…”
[…
After Yeo So-cheon left, we had nothing to say, so we stayed silent again, and then Dang A-young opened her mouth, and we started talking again.
“Well, by the way, saint… Where are you usually? You’re floating in the air right now…”
[Hmm. The reason I am visible in the air right now is not because I am here, but because I can see myself somewhere else inside this square box. I’m not even in that dimension right now.]
“Well, I thought that was roughly the case… He suddenly appeared out of thin air and said ‘Pod!’. From what he was saying, it seemed like he knew Cheongroegeomnim or him… I was wondering where he was usually…”
[Ah. That was the question. Um… I usually hide myself next to the warrior.]
“Ah. Hide yourself next to him.”
-Stop
As Dang A-young continued her words, she paused as if she thought of something.
“Well, it doesn’t stay there all the time, does it? It doesn’t happen when you say it’s time to go to sleep or go to the bathroom or do things like that that others can see, right?”
It seemed like he realized the truth about the saint in an instant.
I think she was probably worried that since the saint said she was always by my side, she would have seen me and Dang A-young mixing her bodies.
[Oh, I have that kind of insight too. I’m usually by your side, but when I need to be away, I stay away. So rest assured. I only stay by the warrior’s side because I need to, and I don’t have a hobby of voyeurism.]
“I’m glad…”
‘?’
A question mark appeared in my head as I saw Dang Ah-yeong feeling reassured by the saint’s words.
What does this mean?
A person who monitors your privacy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without any regard for your privacy.
‘… Saint?’
When I called her saint with such feelings, she began to make excuses in a voice that made the saint notice her.
[Well… If they say they are monitoring everything without exception, it may be uncomfortable for that person. In the past, I’ve seen people interact with warriors on a daily basis, but from a woman’s point of view, if someone who doesn’t know her in person says she’s seen something like that, it could be psychologically shocking.]
‘Me?!’
It’s not just women who are shocked, right?!
Men get it too?!
[It’s okay because the hero is public property.]
‘… That’s too much, really.’
It’s already sad that I can’t act like a man and live in bed, but isn’t it a public good?
Still, is it okay for a person called a saint to be like that.
Isn’t a saint supposed to maintain purity both in body and mind?
The goddess should banish such a dishonest saint.
[Those crabs ended up on the elves’ table.]
… Do elves eat seafood?
[Elves are friends of the forest. Since you can’t eat your friends, you can eat unrelated seafood.]
This is another interesting idea.
The elves aren’t all that well in that world either.
-Snap!
“I got it for you, so take a look.”
While I was talking to the saint for a while, Yeo So-cheon, who had bought the map, spread out the surrounding papers.
It seems like it’s only been about 5 minutes since Socheon left, but she seemed to be in a hurry.
Well, considering the speed of traveling from Shaanxi to Jungwon in less than a day, this arrangement may be easy.
[Hmm. Let’s take a look. I can’t use physical force, so please move the parts that I ask you to move.]
After that, Yeo So-cheon laid out a map on the floor and began marking places here and there as the saint said.
Really
It seemed like the long, long fight was coming to an end.
