Chapter 18. Apostle Su Hun Ho

Pyrineos Mountains that link the eastern part of the Empire to the thaw.

In the Empire, you can cross without any restrictions, but in the eastern countries, you can call it Mount Seo-young ( ), a mountain full of lumps, a gold station that refuses to enter.

From this example, in a thaw with a strong closure tendency, it was more negative for the crossing from Taj.

Even though it has been twenty years since we started our alliance with the Lubarzan Empire, most of our citizens still look at foreign nationals and foreign doors in a bad way.

Judas' group immediately descended the mountain and arrived in the first village of the thaw.

In fact, they didn't cross the mountain altogether. There was a portal in the middle of the mountain range leading to thawing. Judas chose to ride the portal instead of crossing the mountain peak.

Regardless of the size of the mountain range and the harsh mountainside, it took days to get to the Portal Management Room located on the edge.

It's time to walk through those huge, rugged mountain ranges completely, but people couldn't cross them without getting tired. I couldn't speak because I didn't clean the road properly either.

For this reason, there was usually a portal that could easily be moved from mountain to mountain over a certain height.

The portal immediately moved the group to the entrance of the defrost.

The first land to be trampled on was a village named 'HaPat’. The village also revealed the closed tendency of thawing. Even though the Imperial people who had crossed the mountain in the village would be familiar with the mix, the villagers noticed that they were secretly struggling with foreigners.

Only merchants in the marketplace greeted them with active austerity.

Judas' group, who had no intention of being noticed anyway, entered the village quietly as the water flowed.

“Ah, here we are at last. ”

Baikal, who had to test the limits of his stamina for several days, collapsed as soon as he entered the property.

Cook squeals through the muscular pain that strikes his whole body with a cheeky bone.

Knights with physical abilities were fine, but rest was desperate for wizards, healers, and spiritists.

Born in Muga and born stronger than anyone else with physical abilities, Edan was lightly tongue-jumped without understanding the dying vicar.

“Is it that hard? ”

“I thought it was really crazy. If I ride this horse, I feel like I will have muscles in a bad place.. ”

“I guess the only thing that's hard is the blunt force. ”

When Baikal complained of the pain, he shut his mouth in front of an iron wall that didn't even eat a damn egg. Whatever Nam Isa said, he was moved by the honey-like break he was taking in a few days now.

It felt like the muscles clumped together in the hot temperatures coming up from the floor were loosening.

As soon as I crossed the border, my lifestyle changed. Oddly enough, in the thaw house, I yoked on the floor instead of the bed so that each person could lie down on their own. Even the bare floor had the advantage that the entire floor was warm and could warm up sooner than the bed.

It was the reason for using hot stone heating to heat the entire room. Ondol was a unique thermal design structured to prevent smoke, unlike the fireplace heating methods mainly used in the Empire.

Besides, the building was all on the first floor. Man is a living creature under heaven because of his sleep, and the closer he gets to heaven, the more arrogant and disrespectful he is.

Even the aristocrats of the Thaw fell in love here, so no matter how tall the identity was, the second floor was the limit.

I don't see anything special. Not bad for security.

A light sweep of the surroundings scatters a gentle breeze.

"What a festival! There is a custom of offering the first cub of a beast that grows every spring. What do you mean you want them to take good care of their guardian gods?

"If you're a guardian god, you mean them?"

"Yes. Spirits like us are more than gods. It's not the natural world, it's the animal world. Well, I heard you haven't seen a contractor lately, so it wouldn't do you any good to sacrifice Amman like this.

Unlike the Lubarzan Empire, which established the Pope's office and served the only god as a nation, thawing has retained its native faith.

There is a God in everything in the world, especially all kinds of people who contract with the royal family of the Thaw for generations to take care of them.

Thawing was divided into upper arms, lower arms, lower arms and western arms, and there was a custom of bringing a guardian god to the defence.

In the western defences where Judas' group now crossed the mountain, he offered sacrifices every spring, serving Baek Ho as a guardian god.

And now it was the time of the sacrifice, when the spring was ripe.

“Ho Seong is on the northern side of the capital. If we move at the same speed now, we should be able to get there in a week. ”

Separately from the briefing by UNI, Edan finished a brief report on the current location and destination of the group.

Judas put together the information he heard and drew an approximate picture in his head. Thawing, who came along the path of pilgrimage, was in fact a meaningful country for him in many ways.

The birthplace of Saint Hyun Lee and the source of the alchemy that made him live this life.

Finally, I was able to respond to Seo Yoon Lee's invitation, which was delivered five years ago.

“A week.”

Deën

I heard a heavy pounding from the outside.

Sage, who had folded his cloak, approached the window with a dubious face. When I opened a rustic wooden window with a thin window, a low flute of sound echoed with all sorts of percussion sounds.

“Wow, there's a lot of people out there. I'm wearing a bunch of masks, too. Is it an event?”

Judas approaches Sage and looks out the window.

The animal mask that symbolizes the white fur tiger first came into my eyes.

The masked villagers were dragging their first cubs and heading somewhere.

Judas leans against the window frame as he listens to the loud instruments.

“Hmm, this is Baek Ho's territory. ”

“Baek Ho……? ”

“Yes. Have you heard of all kinds of water in the thaw? ”

Sage nodded confidently at the question.

“Yes! Blue Dragon, Baek Ho, Baek Joon, Hyun-mu. I read it often in books. ”

Tales of all kinds of defrosting were much more famous than alchemy.

The power that they could not easily kneel before the power of the Empire was right here.

The power of all gods, who have maintained the contract for generations, could not easily be defeated, even if it was Lubarzan, the Magical Power.

Though the country was shaken as the Mac was cut off, the alliance with the Empire and Hyundai's blood were only now stabilizing with effort.

“Oh, so that procession is going to meet Baek Ho? ”

“Well, I don't know if we can meet. I am going to offer an offering and offer a prayer. ”

“Sacrifice……. ”

Sage glances at the gray baby goat, holding a leash in someone's hand and following the elder. Then I heard an offer mixed with laughter in his ear.

“Do you want to go?”

“Yes? Ah. Hey, can I do that? ”

Fourteen years old, curious.

The Imperial Palace was too harsh an environment for a child to grow up in, and Sage learned to kill himself to survive.

The value of the mother's crimes was evenly passed on to her children. They fingered him, and his miserably dead mother was kept as a sinner until she died.

Cold father didn't hate him or let him go, but he didn't give him a corner to set aside.

And even in the royal palace of this thaw, perhaps he should bow his head as a sinner.

Sage followed his brother knowing that. If you are wearing a Goulet of Sin, all you have to do is avoid it and raise it.

I had to bump it, whether I like it or not. Sage thought so.

for himself, for the mother who died committing sins, and for the brother who was involved in all that process.

Knowing the obsessive idea of the value, Judas shoved his shoulders and suggested an eye-down idea.

“Now that you've come to another country like no other, you'd better look at it when you get a chance. Let the weary rest and go to the people who want to see the sacrifice. ”

Sage's head slowly nodded.

Unlike my brother, excitement blossomed like a mist of water in a slightly cloudy gold. You won't be able to beat the crowd, but if Judas offered it first, he was willing to respond.

After listening to his brother's conversation, Baikal, who was hanging on the floor like a dried squid, arose.

“Rest. I'll be right back."

“No, I can't sleep because I'm curious about the sacrifice. ”

Baikal stretched his eyes to lie, not lie.

It was true that I was curious about Taj's culture because of Baek Ho, but now I just want to fall asleep.

Judas, who noticed the generosity like a ghost, gently stayed behind.

“There are four guardians of the Thaw, so there will be another chance. ”

“Actually, I like tigers the most among animals……. ”

“Here's one. ”

Judas smiled at his 19-year-old friend, who was more like a child than a 14-year-old.

Then I pulled out the last card towards the bicycle, where I could not hear anything.

“It's an order, Baikal. Rest here and watch out for your tired colleagues. ”

“…… Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Baikal, who had just picked up the staff, laid it down in vain.

Seeing the commander staring at him with a slight nod, he gives up following him completely. Judas left the room with Sage and Edan.

Since we had separate men's and women's rooms, we couldn't tell if Cristina and Lan would follow.

He leans against the wall, slipping and lying down.

‘Still alive. ’

Joining as a Wizard, he performed enchantments and magical power consumption wonderfully, but showed extreme efficiency in activities requiring stamina. As if all the old people were dying, Zacchin was stabbed.

Then I found a man lying comfortably in one corner and blinked at him.

“Uh, don't you need to follow Cole Inspire? ”

Cortoban Yen, an imperial spiritist whose disciple's love was so unique when viewed by others, followed the tribe Judas was doing.

Looking at it, it was like a mother chicken followed a chick who put a shotgun on the water.

‘No, on the contrary, is the chick chasing after the mother chicken? ’

Ben Cole relaxes his head on an incense pillow, leaving him in a strange dilemma.

“I only follow the weary because he says to rest. ”

“Well, I'm not saying, but aren't you worried? ”

“Aren't you the one who's worried about me? Huh.”

Late in the beat, Baikal recalls that their master was the contractor of the Spirit King. Obviously, something worrying happened. Although that is true, I was still uncomfortable with the accepted position.

Cole spoke again when he saw Baikal scratching his head.

“If you don't rest when you can, your body will get wet. At this age, I think I'll have more lungs in the future. ”

Cole burst into laughter and dragged the blanket up to the end of his neck.

“Besides, since you have good relatives escorted, this old man will only strike today. ”

“Yes, well……. ”

At the end of that speech, Cole really comfortably fell asleep.

‘You are a peaceful inspiration. ’

Teachers and disciples resemble each other, but there seemed to be some corners that resembled Judas.

Baikal leans against the wall and grinds the yawn. My body was locked in a thousand fatigues, but I didn't think I would fall asleep.

“Beep?”

Only the vibrant young Wyvern chuckled at his feet.

“Fluvi.”

“Beep!”

As he reaches out his hand, he brings his head to the palm of his hand as if he were a big dog.

He lifted a blue mini Wyvern and raised it above his chest. The blue scales and magenta eyes, which felt gross when we first met, are now even cuter.

Baikal pinched Fluvi's ball over my chest and stretched it out like a tweezer.

“Wake up if anything happens. I put on the alarm magic, but if I sleep too deep, I might not wake up. ”

“Peekaboo……. ”

I was accustomed to even the cry of complaining.
