Episode 329

From the moment the village was visible to the naked eye, I stopped using the Cheoncheonil Road and leisurely approached the destination at a slightly reduced speed.

Instead of going straight into town, I leaned against a huge tree covered in snow and gathered my thoughts.

‘What was Keian doing at this time?’

Based on what I heard before returning, there’s a high chance that he’s wandering around somewhere in the north.

If I find that Iron Blood Collector first, I might be able to go home three days earlier than last time… … .

I didn’t think so.

It’s my subjective opinion, but I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Anyway, since all the brothers are already gathered at the main house and most of the elders, including Asad, are there, it is difficult to move freely.

Of course, a more decisive reason is that we currently do not know Kean’s location.

Finding Keian in this vast, useless snowfield would literally be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In the end, the fastest way to get to your hometown is to stay silent and wait for Keian to arrive at the Frostwolf Village.

“okay.”

Let’s keep the same time to return home, three days later.

Then, we should now focus on finding Verita, which was our original goal.

Although I have improved my level through over a hundred days of cultivation, I am still not confident that I can win or overpower that guy.

However, I gained confidence that I wouldn’t be easily swayed.

Above all, the decisive reason why Verita is not rough around the edges is the Dark Heavenly Fragrance Theater, and thanks to this technique, I am able to respond even in the worst situations.

What’s the worst that can happen?

It is like Verita revealing my identity as a priest. That is, Luan Badniker is a priest.

By now, the revelations could be dismissed as nonsense.

Even if you are caught by the 72nd Church and your whole body is searched thoroughly, you can hide the instrument perfectly.

‘Is it a bit strange to be so sure of this?’

I am confident that I can fool even the most skilled of experts, but it might be difficult if the opponent is a bishop of the 72 Churches or a great magician like Asad.

but…….

Somehow I never thought that Verita would reveal my identity even if she was pushed to the worst.

Of course, it wasn’t because of what happened in the snow that I came to trust him.

Verita is just avoiding me right now.

For now, I think the reason is the fight between the Ambassador and the Iron Blood Lord, and the results of that… … .

Actually, the reason doesn’t really matter.

What caught my attention was that this heartless, incomprehensible fanatic avoided people.

Avoiding means avoiding face-to-face contact, and avoiding face-to-face contact means that you are aware of my feelings.

Then, isn’t it true that Verita has finally awakened to the feeling of shame?

For now, that’s enough.

My belief is that you can somehow communicate with someone who knows they are being sold.

After thinking about it, I took my back off the tree and walked around the Frostwolf Village.

The giant’s abode was a paradoxical village that was ‘small but big’.

In terms of scale, it was only a village, but because it was a place where giants lived, the size of the few buildings it contained was enormous.

It’s a blessing for me.

Since the building is large, there aren’t many places to hide, so it didn’t take much time to look around.

The conclusion came right away.

‘There isn’t one in the village.’

By the way, the reason I didn’t ask around through Mirna or other people when I entered the village is because I thought that if I revealed my existence so openly, Verita might disappear.

In my current state, it would be possible to escape Verita’s aura… … .

On the contrary, it would be impossible to find Verita who had decided to hide herself, so the plan was to move as secretly as possible.

Of course, I don’t intend to continue searching alone.

Luckily, I know where he is and I know someone I can trust.

The place we soon arrived at was a slightly ridged winter hill with a wall built around it.

You see an inexperienced hero nodding off, leaning against the entrance.

But I wonder if he had completely lost his mind. He opens his eyes wide when I make a slight movement.

“Who is it!”

A guy who confidently shouts and raises his weapon… … I think his name was Annie?

Anyway, I introduced myself kindly.

“Luan.”

“That, the gold fairy?!”

Somehow, as I listen to it, I feel like I’m starting to get used to that damn tinnitus.

I took a deep breath, explained the situation to Annie, and then asked her about Verita’s current location.

Annie, who had been nodding absentmindedly, answered obediently.

“Oh! Sister Razbeth is out for a moment today. She said she had some urgent business to attend to.”

“Urgent business?”

“I don’t really know what it is.”

“Then do you know where he went?”

I asked without any particular expectations, but Annie answered.

“Yes! I saw you heading towards Ymir’s remains! This is certain!”

“harmfulness?”

“I think it’s probably for the purpose of removing the instruments and cleaning up the church, but I don’t know the details. The area around Ymir’s remains is currently under the control of the 72nd Church. So even heroes can’t approach without permission.”

“I see. That was helpful.”

“Ouch, in that case, please sign… … !”

I engraved Annie’s shield with a dagger like before, and told her not to tell anyone about me if she ever met Verita.

“I will absolutely abide by this!”

Annie replied with a cheerful face, and I headed towards Imir’s remains.

It was a far away place, unlike what it looked like, but now I am not the god of lightness… but I am the king of lightness.

If you run at full speed, you’ll get there in no time.

‘…if you run at full speed.’

Unfortunately, since I don’t know where Verita is, I plan to refrain from using my internal energy as much as possible.

I ran across the white snowy field using only my physical strength, and because of that, I ended up wasting quite a bit of time in reaching my destination.

When we finally reached Imir’s feet, the sun was slowly setting.

“… … .”

I looked at the world’s largest corpse with new eyes.

I couldn’t help it, thinking back to the time I rolled around like a dog inside this body and was a fucking bastard.

The frozen giant’s body would have endured countless years, accumulating snowflakes little by little each year… … .

The accumulated snowflakes would have been pickled by the bitter cold and cold wind.

Is that why?

When seen up close, Ymir looked more like a huge ice statue than a remains.

In other words, the surface was close to ice, which created a scene where the entire body seemed to be on fire the moment it absorbed the setting sun.

It’s not exactly a frost giant, but a salt giant, and it looks like it’s burned to death rather than frozen to death.

It was quite a sight, but I couldn’t watch it for long. The reason was simple: it was too bright for my eyes.

Anyway, quite a bit of time has passed since the incident in the North… … .

The remains of Ymir, which must have contained a great musical instrument, seemed peaceful, as if they had somehow forgotten about the disaster at that time.

At least in appearance.

“But where is the entrance here?”

I looked around Imir’s feet and shook my head from side to side.

“Where is it? Is it here? Where is it? Is it here? Really, where is it?”

I wandered around like a madman for about ten minutes… … .

It was only after the sun had completely set that I had an epiphany.

Come to think of it, there was only one place that could be called an entrance to Ymir’s remains.

That’s the anus of the world’s largest frost giant… no.

It’s the snout.

I climbed up Imir’s body almost as if I was climbing a mountain.

I was thinking about using Crowtaker’s power, but I held myself back because I was worried that Verita might be able to sense the spirit’s presence.

Climbing Imir’s body is easy.

And then came the mouth of Ymir.

From Imir’s mouth, which was wide open, a cold chill and a foul smell were felt for some reason.

This is the breath of Ymir that has been condensed for thousands, tens of thousands of years… of course not.

There are still traces of the remaining instruments.

Is there a veritas under this mouth hole?

“hmm…….”

It’s embarrassing to step in rashly.

This also seems to be because I once wandered around there for a very long time and experienced all sorts of things.

Of course, Ymir’s body is not as dangerous now as it was then…

While I was thinking about it for a moment.

“… … ?”

I bent down at the sudden sensation.

At first I thought it was Veritas, but it wasn’t.

It was a messy and chaotic sound, and above all, there were many of them. Immediately afterwards, a number of figures appeared along with a rustling sound.

At a glance, there were more than fifteen people holding pickaxes, handles, lamps, etc. Judging from their attire, they looked exactly like miners.

Of course, there’s no way a miner would be in a place like this… … Judging by their skin color and appearance, they don’t seem to be from a snowy area.

“Ugh, gasp… … !”

“Shit!”

These guys looked like they were being chased by something, and some of them were even covered in blood.

‘Demon? Or was it the remnants of the church that attacked you?’

The chances of that happening are slim.

Because Heroes would have spent about a month removing the instruments and putting a lot of effort into removing the remnants.

Of course, it’s hard to be certain that they would have caught and killed them all, since it’s such a large place.

“Huk, huk… … . If you’ve come this far, you’re okay, right?”

“Well, you won’t be able to get out. T-that’s definitely the devil bitch. There are a lot of instruments inside, so you can move around freely, but outside, that’s not the case-.”

“Fuck!”

The one who spat out the curse was a man with a rather vicious look.

The attitude of the people around him is like that, and he seems to be the leader.

“Hey, you punk! Is it true that I have to risk my life every time I go in? Are there any relics left here in the first place? Those Heros guys probably already swept them all away!”

“Huh?! Ha, but Imir’s body is so huge that it’s impossible to look through it all, so it was the leader who said that… … .”

“Shut up!”

The sly looking guy closed his mouth… … .

Only then did I understand the situation.

Their impressions, the equipment they wear, and most of all, the conversations they have with each other.

‘He’s a grave robber.’

And then it got absurd.

The area surrounding Ymir’s body is a place that not only the Empire but also Heros and the 72 Churches pay a lot of attention to, so why are these kinds of rascals running wild?

‘Should I come out?’

As a hero, it’s only right to step forward and deal with those guys quickly.

The problem is that I’m moving incognito right now. If I make a fuss here, Verita will discover my presence.

When I was wondering what to do… … .

“Hey, you guys! What are you doing, huh?”

A boy appeared from the opposite direction with a timid voice.

It was a very unexpected appearance, but the attitude he displayed was even more absurd.

He looked at his opponent with a frightened face and trembling eyes, then shouted in a timid voice. Even the last “Kka!” sounded like a croak.

“Are you a grave robber? How could you possibly think of invading Ymir’s remains! Put down your bag and disappear immediately!”

Not only my voice, but my body as well, is trembling.

The grave robbers forgot what they were muttering and started to murmur at the sight of that shabby sight.

“What is that kid?”

“Brother, this doesn’t seem like an ordinary kid. The patterns on his clothes… … .”

The man who had just closed his mouth pointed to the clothes, and only then did the boss nod.

“Is it Frozen Hunt?”

The ice and arrow patterns carved into the hem of the clothes – I guess that’s a unique pattern to the Frozen Hunt. They are the most famous hunting tribe in the North.

A low light flickered in the leader’s eyes.

“I heard that the leather clothing of the Frozen Hunt is so expensive… … . I heard that the clothing they wear with shamanic patterns on it keeps you warm even in a blizzard, and is lighter than down. It’s a shame that they’re so small though.”

“Think of it the other way around. If you tell those money-hungry nobles that it’s a gift for their children, they’ll be able to sell it for a higher price.”

“Oh. I see. Hehe. As expected, life doesn’t always tell you to die.”

The leader slowly drew the sword from his waist.

Did you feel like you were living in that attitude?

The boy, his face turning pale, shouted.

“Hey, stop it! I, I’m an honorable hunter from the North! I don’t want to fight with people!”

“This isn’t a fight, kid.”

“Ugh, ugh… … !”

Are you scared?

The boy who had been trembling finally pulled out his dagger as if he had made up his mind.

It’s a strangely small dagger.

It doesn’t look like a weapon for harming an opponent, but rather has the size and design of something that would be used to dispose of the carcass of a killed animal.

Of course, the grave robbers burst into laughter.

“Poohahaha!”

“Hey kid, what is that? Is that a nail clipper?”

“Who with that little finger-sized knife?”

The voice suddenly cut off with a “thud” sound… … .

“… … .”

I blinked my eyes at this point too.

I thought that if I hadn’t trained my eyes, I might have missed that little boy’s movements at that moment.

The boy, who had been at least a few dozen meters away, quickly closed the distance and was hanging on the back of the leader of the grave robbers.

The small dagger in his hand was stuck in his throat, and judging by its location, it had pierced the carotid artery exactly.

“Greuk… … .”

The leader’s body collapsed with the sound of boiling blood.

“Two, boss?!”

“What the fuck!”

Only then did the grave robbers come to their senses and rush in at once.

“Eww… Don’t do that… … .”

The only thing that was joking was the voice.

The young hunter slaughtered a dozen grave robbers in an instant with his skilled movements.

Actually, I don’t want to use the gruesome expression ‘slaughter’, but I can’t think of any other appropriate word.

Chomp!

As a result, it took less than ten seconds for the grave robbers to collapse in a pool of blood.

‘Are you hitting me?’

I thought he was at least a Hero A-class hero, maybe even more.

Are all the Frozen Hunt monsters like that?

‘… … .’

That’s not true.

I quietly placed my hand on my heart.

Just now, when I was watching that little boy’s movements, I felt my heart pounding unusually.

To be precise, the orchestra formed near the midpoint – the instruments there reacted faintly.

What does this point to… … .

It’s simple.

That kid just used an instrument.

in other words.

‘You’re a believer.’

That’s not all.

Among the church members, I know of only one person who can play an instrument so perfectly.

‘…a colorless believer.’

I narrowed my eyes.
