Hunter of the Perished World

[144] City of Dusk (2)

The building, as if it were attached, was wrapped around all the walls and columns of the tree trunk, along with a giant tree. Other buildings collapse as if they were natural, but not just dusk towers. It was certainly an astonishing sight.

I felt like I was performing a miracle just by facing nature, holding down a collapsed civilization.

Perhaps it was natural for the Twilight Bridge to be a landmark for that building from this location.

“Fortunately, there's no MCP here, so there's no Fortress. ”

Ho Chi Minh City used to have eight million inhabitants. Fortunately, there are no subsequently occupied portless MCPs, as no MCPs occurred.

If there was a Wargrave here, we wouldn't be able to make it to the Twilight Bridge. The Southeast Asian region is clearly controlled by Central Asian forces. In fact, Ramfil, who had committed treason, was no longer supported by Fortress near Asia.

“I wish Twilight City were in Hanoi.... ”

Ramfil said as if it were a joke. Hanoi is home to Wargrave Fortress. Ramfil still considers himself a soldier, but now he has a position to take on Wargrave unless he reaches Fortress on his command.

You are no longer required to carry out that task now that you have disobeyed the commanders who told you to hunt the White Witch.

But Ramfil is with Jean's group. And Leona and Jean didn't ask Ramfil about the subject. It was something Ramfil would say when he came up with the idea, and until then the subject was being mysteriously avoided.

Twilight City was essentially a free city, not a castle. Leona looked at the city dazed and felt a sense of camouflage, and soon realized what it was.

“By the way, there are no walls here? ”

The city was open to everyone, without even its usual rubbish walls.

“It's basic practice not to antagonize monsters. It's contradictory to build a wall. ”

“Most of all, I've cleared out all the dangerous monsters in the gospel, so it doesn't matter if there's no walls. ”

Ramfil thinks it won't be a big deal without a wall, as there's virtually no monster threat. But the strange camouflage that the city without walls gave Leona and Ramfil was quite close.

It used to be natural, but now, whenever I encountered the scenery that had become strange, Jean's heart sank.

“Let's go inside.”

They're already on the edge of Twilight City.

To avoid distractions, Leona tells Flaires to stay in their backpacks, and the frogman and his little birds do exactly what Leona says. Riding around in a slime cow wasn't a sight to behold.

There was, of course, no gatekeeper because there was no distinction about the entrance to the city. Everywhere there were men dressed in black, and Jean said they were guardians.

“It's a common place for outsiders to come from around here. ”

So it means that facing outsiders is like everyday life. Soon, it meant that the action was free compared to the rest of the group. So outsiders or not, people wouldn't care, but they were beating the shit out of the village.

I couldn't help but wonder and wonder every time I saw it.

Gene didn't give them much credit for their reactions as if they could.

It is possible that Twilight City is unlike any other city in the world.

“Wow... ”

Leona can't take her eyes off the man riding around with his stirrups on a horse. The wolf meets Leona in the eye, and passes by with its head bowed as if to look at her.

“Look! Look! He said hello to me! ”

“I think so. ”

“Nice dog! Oh, is a wolf a dog? ”

Leona tilts her head, and this time she sees a little monkey monster running down the street, her children staring down at her.

“After him!"

“Come play with me! ”

Rrrrrrrrrr!

Five or six children ran along the monkey, and the monkey drove around, controlling the speed. Upon arriving on the main road, Ramfil stops walking with a blemish.

“Well, what is it? ”

Kuang!

“Get out of the way! You're hurt!”

There, a Cyclops Giant, who would be five meters tall, was working to fit the giant log into the groove, and people around him were pressing their hands against the passers-by and biting people to prevent anyone from getting hurt.

“Looks like you're building a house. ”

Gene said casually.

“No, a monster is building a house? ”

“What can't you do? I could make you dance. ”

A Cyclops, a Cyclops one-eyed giant, was stumbling around the wooden column and touching the ground. Ramfil is a fool, so he can't take his eyes off it.

Twilight City is the main source of the Twilight Bridge.

Soon, the most domesticated monster in the world.

Leona shakes her head as if she was surprised and can't help it. People seemed peaceful, and it was puzzling that monsters were accepting this landscape lying around the world as if it were a daily landscape.

“Well, aren't those poisonous dogs? But that's poison. Are you okay? ”

Leona could recognize the poisonous dogs that drive the sheep because they were monsters that are often seen on the Korean Peninsula. Leona felt her limbs stiffen as she saw the poisonous dogs who were classified as corpse hunters wandering around with a few sheep.

“I remember saying that in Southeast Asia, the endocrine glands of venomous dogs are dried and seasoned. ”

“Did you?”

Leona tilts her head due to the faint memory of her past.

“Poisonous dogs don't release poison by removing the endocrine glands. That's why they get rid of the poison and tame it. A little smarter than the other dogs. If you go further south, you'll see more Poisonous Dogs than Slime. ”

A clever Poisonous Dog can be a great burden if it is tamed. Although the endocrine gland is regenerated, it is doubled because we can continue to obtain a seasoning called Poisonous Dog endocrine gland.

A life in perfect harmony with monsters. It was unfolding before my eyes.

Ramfil smiles bitterly.

“I can't believe this is a failed religion. ”

This is like paradise.

After facing a life where monsters no longer kill humans and humans don't kill monsters, Ramsay realizes that everything he believed in and did was not an absolute justice and inevitable choice.

Kill the monster or I die. That's why it's awesome.

This natural proposition was actually a lie. There were people who lived like this without it.

It was natural for Ramfil and Leona to fall into the twilight bridge. It was so attractive for those who had never seen it before.

It didn't just make its way into a large religion that encompasses the entire region of Southeast Asia. Religion itself is a real miracle, even if it is false.

So it seemed that it was possible for people to kneel down and pray at times, staring at that enormous dusk tower.

“Where are we going? ”

After a long look, Leona followed closely to the side of the camp and asked. Gene points toward the dusk tower with a jaw as if to ask what.

“I'm going to meet my client. ”

The client will, of course, be in the dusk tower.

Leona was puzzled by the thought that the leader of this dusk bridge would meet Jean quietly. But, like always, Jean had a way and an answer.

“It's really big... ”

The tree that was wrapped around the giant building and the dusk tower that was holding it as a new pillar were even bigger when we looked closely at it.

“I can't believe it. ”

Seeing Ramfil up close, he realized how ridiculous a miracle this was.

People think the tower is holding out just because of the sunset miracle, but the reality is a little different.

That's just a coincidence. It is just one kind of tree that grows rooted in a cliff and climbs up a cliff. It was contaminated with CP and caused a large deterioration, growing up on a building instead of a cliff. It was just that.

“But it's not coming down? ”

You shake your head at Leona's question.

“It's not just the bending level. The outside of the building, as well as the inside. ”

Soon, the roots of this enormous tree actually spread deep and wide throughout Twilight City, and hardened trunks tied tightly to the exterior of the building as well as to the interior.

So this building was actually more durable than it was built.

There were numerous vines at the entrance to the Twilight Tower, and the appearance of blue leaves that resembled willow looked mysterious.

Naturally, the Guardians were guarding the area with swords, and more monsters were lurking around the Twilight Tower than anywhere else. Some of the monsters are taking a nap, and some of them are playing with humans.

And in the large square in front of the dusk tower, someone who appeared to be a priest was preaching on the raised platform.

“Aren't you glad that the grace of twilight blessed us and occupied this great and sacred Twilight Tower? ”

“Aren't you glad? ”

.

Those who kneel around you solemnly recite the words of the High Septon. Jinn passes by the view and stands at the gate of the Twilight Tower. From here, I couldn't enter unless I was a member of the Church or a guardian. One of the Guardians speaks in a gentle tone.

“Brother, today is a day when there is no service for Oracle. ”

The Guardians are looking at the group at the gate, and if they try to take one more step, they will stop them. Jin draws the sign of the Twilight Bridge and lowers his head slightly to the Guardians.

“Greetings, brother. I came here to mark the end of a long and long pilgrimage. ”

The Guardian's eyes changed. With pilgrims, no matter how few dangerous monsters there are, the path these three must have taken would not have been greedy. The Guardians recognize that they must have traveled a long way to see the uniquely dressed faces of the defeated party.

“Phew…. It's rare and mysterious. ”

“My name is Jean, and this is Leona and Ramfil. I was baptized in the Twilight Tower a long time ago, but these two will be baptized in the Twilight Tower and will live the lives of the Christians from this day forward. ”

This explains the fact that they do not know the examples of the Church. The meaning of entering in a fairly old-fashioned way changed the eyes fairly favorably, whether it looked puffy and respectable to both guardians.

Even though this process was unnecessary, Leona needed to get her out of Flary, Jean chose a slow way to persuade him that it was obvious that a big commotion would occur.

The Twilight Cult was favorable to pilgrims, and it was no different from Twilight City. He did not suspect that he might have a dishonorable intention. Jinn painted the sign and the manners of the Twilight Bridge as much as they did.

“For baptism, and for pilgrims, the door to the Great Chapel will be opened. Soon, I will bring a successor to be baptized. ”

Another guardian enters the burinake, and Leona and Ramfil are surprised to see the situation unfolding. The Guardian asked.

“Where are you from? ”

“I'm from the HMCP up north. ”

I was talking about Hanoi, and the Guardian fully understands.

“That's a long way to go. Was the descent not obstructed? ”

“There was no great danger because the grace of dusk was with us. ”

“Truly a blessing of twilight. ”

In fact, there were no major threats to the forest except mosquitoes. Of course, Sawtooth and Flary were of great help, so the blessings of the dusk ceremony were definitely together, so they weren't lying.

Leona wonders what baptism is, but shuts up. I thought Leona could tell the difference between when to ask and when not. After a brief conversation, the chancellor appeared shortly. He was wearing white gloves, and an embroidered pattern in brown thread was suggesting that he also had a respected successor position in the Twilight Bridge.

The dusk bridge was not as luxurious as the culture and environment, so it was just right to embroider the white well-made cloth.

Due to the rarity of hunting and agricultural methods, it was hard to get leather, so cloth made of cotton was often used. Instead, he was a middle-aged man with a distinctive tranquility on his face that old religions inevitably attained.

He painted a sign in front of the pilgrims that said he had come a long way.

“Greetings pilgrim. I hear you've come a long way. I am Houlman, the Deputy Chief of Staff, in charge of spreading the blessings of the Twilight. ”

“Nice to meet you, Deputy. ”

“Come with me.”

He gently leads the group inside the dusk tower. Slime leads one of the Guardians to the private stable, and Leona looks sad to see the slime dragged into the Guardian's hands.

The Guardians also sent them, expressing their intentions of reverence as if they would obey the example of pilgrims.

“Wow... ”

Leona didn't know to keep her mouth shut when she saw so many vines digging inside the tower, on the ceiling, on the walls, and on the floor.

“You can baptize right now, or tomorrow or the day after you rest. To pilgrims, the Twilight Tower is always... ”

“That's not what we're here for. ”

I asked for baptism for a reason. In this Twilight City, baptism in the sense of accepting new Christians could only be performed by those with a superior position.

The Ordinary Catholic Church and its Guardians naturally do not know the secrets of the Twilight Brigade.

Of course, the chancellor will not know the details of the secret. However, it still speaks to a certain extent when it comes to the succession.

Jinn's heartfelt words, and the chancellor turns his back on his flawed face. Jean's hand had a mark the size of a palm made of brass.

“Do you recognize what this is? ”

Marks that shaped the sun crossing the forest were embossed marks.

A metallic mark that shapes dusk. Now it's symbolized, so don't use that kind of detail. Mark that was written at least four generations ago, and what it said was clear.

The man in front of me is a person related to the twilight bridge, but at the same time carries symbols from the past that no one uses anymore. Above all, in this precious region, tigers do not carve wood out of metal.

And, obviously, there is such a legend.

An unidentified advisor and helper who is said to have helped in the founding of the early Church of Oracle Sullin. He had black hair with black eyes and was known to have saved her by appearing like a miracle of God whenever the early prophet was in trouble.

He disappears suddenly after the cult is completed. Without taking any place in the cult, they disappeared as if they were a welcome sight. Therefore, it is still a rumor about its existence.

If Sulin is the Bishop who founded the Twilight Bridge, he is known to be so.

“The apostle of twilight.... ”

“That's what they call it. ”

Gene nods slowly as if he were unfamiliar.
