by adminEpisode 138 – Welcome to Yeon-guk -
“Then I will announce the results!”
The quarterly exam ended really uneventfully.
There was really nothing to see.
The problem was that the devil briefly invaded.
Due to the nature of the succubus, which can move through human dreams, it is virtually impossible to defend or arrest, so it is virtually immune.
This is also because there was no particular damage.
“1st place is Abraxas Cadet. 2nd place… !”
And I was the one who came in first place in this test.
The reason this happened was really simple.
Among the cadets who were going to spar with me, all of them who had seen the prospect of watching the war against the president abstained.
And unfortunately, among the cadets who did not intuit my sparring with the president, all of them who ended up with me were extremely weak.
‘Perhaps because we spar in groups, we can’t lose because there are weaker kids than class B… ‘
If I lost with the Saint of Saints, my relationship with the Saint of Healing might also be in trouble, so I just won.
“You. Have you decided to move forward now?”
“Isn’t it natural that other nobles can’t stand it? In my own way, I slept well in all sorts of extreme situations.”
Even now that I think about it, I find it absurd that the South Korean military was so helpful.
I never thought this would really help.
But why does searching help?
If I get help while I’m still alive, what’s the point?
[then. Holy woman. I’ll see you later in the health room. You can get there safely, right? There are also priests with us.]
[yes. That is quite possible.]
It’s a surprising fact, but the saint knew how to use Jeonum.
It seems like he has learned the basic auras and how to use them.
Even if it were an essential skill for politicians, it would be quite a difficult skill.
What the saint was learning was surprising.
‘phew. Fortunately, they don’t ask me if I know something.’
If you ask, there’s no way I can tell you about WFS.
I wasn’t sure how to explain it.
Even though Seonghwangcheong also knew that the Great Depression had come and that it started with Yeonguk.
After that, I don’t even know why the founder of Yeonguk made that choice.
‘Originally, there would have been no need to tease me like that.’
I was just going to say let’s go normally.
Looking at the current situation, I didn’t think I would ever go, so I persuaded him with this.
It was a gamble because the likelihood of success was not clear.
Without a healing saint, there was no way to gain high credit.
Taking Luna Kerenil is another option.
There is no way you can rent it for a month.
“Hey. So what is your score?”
“Me? It’s just so-so.”
At some point, I asked Lucas, who came up next to me.
Since this guy is also in Class A, he probably has a high score overall.
“Hey. You need to go somewhere with me.”
“Why me?”
“He immediately refuses without even asking where.”
“I don’t know where you’re going, but it won’t be a normal place. If you see that they’re talking about reviving the founder of a vampire, you might think they’re going to a vampire.
By the way, how is the operation to revive the vampire going? People around me are asking about that.”
It certainly seems true that the vampire alliance incident I mentioned had its own impact on the empire.
It had to be that way.
It’s possible to form an alliance with a vampire, one of the Empire’s greatest achievements.
In reality, this is bullshit at the level of South Korea and North Korea forming an alliance.
It is not unification, but alliance.
It couldn’t happen under normal gaze.
“So why on earth are you making a fuss by bringing in elves?
Questions are pouring in on me because questioning what you said at the auction itself could be an insult to His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Were the nobles that cautious? Aren’t you usually a master at saying things in reverse?”
“It’s because there was a scandal between you and the princess. At least it is true that I am favored by the princess, so I am taking care of it.
Moreover, although it is an honor, he is a member of the imperial guard. And since you bastard hits me so often, I’m saving it all.”
It seems like the things that have been accumulating so far will create a synergy effect and the information will not be relayed to me.
no wonder. He said he didn’t say anything during this time.
To question something is to doubt the emperor.
Considering the Emperor’s magnanimity, Alice’s trust and command of my royal guard are problematic.
In the end, the position of the Royal Guard turned out to be an advantage.
It’s definitely okay.
“So you should go too. I have to go anyway. Even if I ask Princess Alice, I will drag you along.”
“You crazy bastard. It was decided from the beginning.”
“Uh. So, let’s just go together obediently. It gets harder without you.”
“First, tell me where you are going. Even people who are executed know what crimes they will be accused of before they die. So where are we going?”
I softly said to Lucas, who had a despairing look on his face.
“Yeon Guk.”
“Crazy bastard.”
No, Yeon-guk is not to that extent.
It’s better than the Vampire Principality or the Demon Lord of Il.
It is said to be one of the sacred places for alchemists.
Of course, I swallowed my words because I felt like I would be beaten if I said those words.
Now it was time to set out on a new schedule.
=========
“No, so why did the President and the Princess let you go without any hesitation?”
“We talked about it in advance.”
This is something I told Alice Tantalota and Sergey Darmore a long time ago.
In Alice’s case, I knew very well that she might die if I couldn’t save her.
Because the president has been talking about it for two weeks.
“I never thought I’d get on this damn flying ship again… Can’t I just take a carriage?”
“The place we are going to is Yeon-guk. A society completely ruled by money, with no status whatsoever.
If you have a lot of money, even if it’s just half a penny, you should preserve some of it in a society where all alchemists except Changje can be made slaves.”
An airship settlement located on the outskirts of Academy City.
Lucas was very annoyed about having to ride this crappy facility again.
Airships are organizations created to safely transport materials from various risk factors.
Because only the payload and speed were given thorough attention, interior convenience was at a low level.
It is a facility that most nobles strongly dislike.
It’s worth it since it’s like taking the president on the back of a pigeon van.
“I don’t ride much anyway.”
“Is that fortunate? Is it because there is no airship settlement in Yeonuk? It’s a problem because you have to get off nearby and walk.”
There are no airship settlements in the country.
If so, the Yeonguk people would have stolen all the goods long ago.
To stop it, we need to send in armed forces.
Loading weapons into a flying ship that flies through the sky and avoids dangers is an inefficient action.
It’s better to just have limited exchanges through borders.
“So you are going to contact the saint there? Is that true?”
“Would I lie about something like this? The only time I lie is when there is something to be gained and when the lie will never be caught.
You would have had to come along anyway even without the saint, and the story about the saint will be revealed when you arrive, so why am I lying about it?”
“Because it’s absurd.”
I would like to take the saint, but that would be difficult.
But I found a way.
The Saint of Healing declared that she would visit the Holy Palace for a short time after this exam.
He said he didn’t know the exact schedule for when he would return.
The healing saint was a saint of the Holy Emperor before being an academy cadet.
Seonghwangcheong has no choice but to take priority.
So the president and the academy immediately sent the saint away.
No one doubted that the saint’s original destination was not Seonghwangcheong.
This is because he said he would try to find a way to respond appropriately to vampires.
‘The biggest problem was the possibility that the saint would get lost. ‘I even hired a guide.’
After all, money is everything.
I asked a troubleshooter who is known for being moderately loud-mouthed, so he will guide me well.
“For now, this will be the most comfortable. If you go to Yeonguk, you should be able to get enough sleep.”
“Isn’t it just a matter of not going to Yeonguk? Principality, republic, empire, kingdom, grand duchy, federation. Is it possible for the land called the Feyre Confederation to be comfortable because it is not a system of any kind?”
“So, rest. You’re going to get tired anyway, so why fight like that now?”
“Damn guy.”
Lucas grumbled and left his body in the flying ship.
This was because I knew very well that even fighting would be a loss.
The airship continued to fly.
We continued to stay still.
This may be because you need to store as much stamina as possible and use it in the Yeonguk.
Kugungㅡ
Quite a long time has passed.
Because the Helium Empire is roughly as large as the former Russian Empire.
This is because it took a long time to get to the border.
[This airship will soon land at a settlement in the Far East, so please be prepared if you want to disembark.]
Far Eastern settlements.
It is the closest airship landing site to Yeon-guk and the place where we were to meet the healing saint.
After slowly getting ready to disembark, I got off at the settlement.
People gathered from around the area to check whether the cargo had arrived properly.
No one recognized us.
Fortunately.
Scribble, scribble~
“It’s over there.”
And a woman with pure white hair waved her hand.
She was a saint belonging to the Holy Hwangcheong, a healing saint whose real name is not yet known.
I went straight there.
“Abraxas. Mr. Lucas. Welcome.”
“Luckily, you arrived safely. Fortunately, the guide took me to the right place.”
“He was a kind person.”
As soon as we met, we had a quick chat.
We all shared an unspoken opinion.
Everyone knew where to go.
“You said you had prepared an automatic carriage, right?”
“Yes. You can go now. Lucas. Holy woman. Let’s go.”
“You ordered a really cheap automatic carriage, right? There is also a saint, so let’s borrow something decent.”
“Is there anything good about an automatic carriage going to Yeonguk? If nobles or merchants had anything to go, they would ride in a cart.”
“Ah. I guess so.”
Head to the automatic carriage repair shop.
The eyes of the person who had already been seated were opened.
White hair.
And the saintly attire she is wearing.
He seemed to know what kind of person we had brought.
“You are the one who wants to go to Yeonguk, right?”
But he was faithful to his role.
I just accepted the customer by pretending that he wasn’t curious.
It doesn’t matter if we find out though.
“Yes. There are three of us like this.”
Get on the automatic carriage.
Leaving Far Eastern settlements along the road.
and.
The further we went, the closer we got to the remote area.
The road became bumpy.
At some point, the building disappeared.
None of that existed either.
There was just a forest that continued.
“Hey… Is this right here? I feel like I’m going down a strange path?”
“Abraxas? Is this right here?”
The saint and Lucas, who had never been here before, seemed anxious.
Of course it has to be that way.
This is a road that few people travel on.
If they come, they are either criminals or illegal immigrants.
“Yeon Guk.”
But soon their doubts were put to rest.
Eventually, the border appeared.
“… ”
“… ”
Unlike me, who saw Yeon-guk in the game.
The Healing Saint and Lucas were left speechless as if it was their first time seeing Yeon-guk in person.
In fact, if you see it for the first time, you will wonder whether that is a real country.
Buildings that stand tall in the middle of the plain, like the Kowloon Fortress.
Rather than a road, it would be more appropriate to say that it is a place without buildings.
The walls protrude in polygonal shapes, like Jenga in moderate progress.
And black smoke that you don’t know where it’s coming from.
Everything was talking.
That place is Yeonguk.
It was Yeonguk from where that building was built.
A place that isn’t is called an empire.
“ character. Now it’s Yeon-guk. We can only go so far. If you go inside, they’ll just rip it off with the automatic carriage, right?
You can get a pass issued by the border guard over there.”
“I am grateful for this amount. I am actually grateful that you came to such a remote place.”
“I just did the obvious thing. Then please… Good luck.”
The carriage driver must have thought of something when he saw us, who looked like a saint and a nobleman, and cheered us on.
Actually, there wasn’t anything wrong with that, so we said goodbye to him as he left.
“What brings you here?”
As we headed near the border guard station, armed men greeted us.
They were personnel deployed to stop Yeongu people trying to escape to the empire.
“I’m trying to enter Yeonguk. So, please issue me a pass. Because we are imperial people.”
“First of all, do you have any means of proving your identity? People from Yeonguk who escaped through other countries often disguise themselves to easily enter and exit the empire, so please understand.”
“No problem.”
Although we have no means of proving our identity.
There was someone to prove their identity.
A saint of healing.
If she was one of the five saints of Seonghwangcheong, it would be possible.
[Light.]
As the saint chants a simple chant, a group of lights gathers around her.
A beautiful spectacle that would never be possible in a low realm takes place between the Empire and the Commonwealth.
“This is… !”
At least the border guards would know that she was a high-ranking priest.
And if you are a high-ranking clergy, there is no need to stop them.
If you decide to push ahead anyway, the one who loses will be the border guard.
“We will issue you a pass.”
The border guard obediently issued a pass.
Now, if you have this, you can at least escape to any country.
“Where do I enter?”
“Me. Can you see the gap between the buildings? It’s not exactly a gap, but it’s one building where two other buildings are next to each other at the gap level. You can just go in there.”
It is not a road, but it is definitely a road.
A road, not an alley.
A truly contradictory place.
The first thing we encountered after entering the damp wall covered in oil stains.
“Kaaa!!”
It was a woman’s scream.
“Huh?”
“What?”
Lucas and the healing saint were taken aback by the sound.
Turn your head around to find the cause of the sound.
“The Endㅡ”
The cause of the sound was a man and a woman.
The women’s side was crushed by the men’s side.
The man was roughly tearing the woman’s clothes.
The woman was trying to block the man’s actions with one hand.
“How dare you… Such an inhumane act… !”
The saint immediately tried to stop them.
Enraged, she immediately turned around and headed towards the direction where the sound was coming from, where the man and woman were tangled together.
A saint can only be an upright person.
She wouldn’t have been able to tolerate injustice like that.
“No.”
That’s why I quickly grabbed her shoulder.
I wasn’t worried that there would be a problem.
They captured this land because it is a country.
“Abraxas? What’s the problem? I am a saint. Even if evil deeds are stopped, no one on this earth will have an issue with it, right?”
The healing saint looked at me and became angry.
I guess they thought I was telling them to put up with injustice for fear of causing trouble.
Lucas also glared at me.
But I’m not interested in that.
Even if I suddenly kill all 20 people here, if they give me money, “hehe. It was such a perfect massacre. ” This is Yeon-guk.
I just blocked it because it was a problem to intervene.
“Saint. This is Yeonguk. A place where anything is acceptable. So take a good look. In detail.”
“Is there a reasonable reason?”
“In the country, corpses are also property. The body of a dead human loses its aura. Because a body without aura can become the target of alchemy through magical power.”
That’s why they say there is no sexual assault in Yeonguk.
There is only rape and murder.
Let me leave this with you.
The healing saint and Lucas looked closely at the woman as if they realized something.
And their expressions became very rotten.
What made their expressions rotten.
Ironically, they were the eyes of a woman.
Two eyes that were staring straight at us.
That fact made the saint and Lucas different.
This is because the woman did not shout for help even when she saw us.
And in her hands.
There was a piece of metal in his hand that he didn’t know had been given to him by someone.
As if it was more important than his genitals being raped.
Even as I used one hand to prevent my clothes from tearing, I was holding the metal piece tightly with my other hand.
“Let’s go.”
Didn’t say anything else.
Rather, helping is not helping.
Wow~
A woman’s screams are used as background music.
We entered the interior of the country.
There is no reason for us to interfere.
Because that is also the survival method of Yeonguk people.
Yeon-guk is right.
This is the land.
