one hundred eighty-seven

"Let's talk about the details later, shall we?"

Seoul Howl began to prepare his meal, looking somewhat deluded. Collect the cookware that was left around there and turn your back on Mira. Looks like a blackout to me.

"Then there's something better!

There will be no need to pursue it any further. Mira, who guessed so, rose so proud that she was in a renewed mood, even this.

"So I don't really need red."

Soul haul looking back with cold eyes. To him like that, Mira smiles invincibly with a chitchat and tongue.

"I'm not an ingredient person. The cookware."

More importantly, Mira deepened her grin, letting her summon the Spirit Mansion next to her at the next moment.

There he appeared in a large room, a small mansion. Seeing that, Seoul Howl said, "Oh?" Raise your voice as if surprised.

"This is interesting. Is that a new subpoena?

"Mm-hmm. At the mansion's artificial spirit. We just met the other day, but it's a very reliable technique."

Mira flirting with me just saying what do you think? But whether or not to hear Mira say anything like that, Seoul Howl reaches for the mansion's door knob, inspired by interest.

"Yeah? It's not gonna open."

Seoul Howl turns seldom while turning the door knob in such a way as pushing or pulling.

"Mm, that can't be right."

Mira rushes over to the door and pulls the door knob. Then the door opened without difficulty.

"You mean you can't open it unless you're my husband?

"I've never tried it, but maybe that's what I'm talking about."

Mira and Seoul Haul, who exchanged those words, began experimenting with research minds in an effort to try them out. As a result, it was found that the Spirit Mansion could not only be used by Mira herself or by all of the equipment unless Mira authorized it.

"You're a mansion truly loyal to your husband. So I need permission to use the shower."

Is it part of his instinct to want to be refreshed in the shower, after verification, Seoul Howl quickly began to take off his clothes in front of the shower room, and yes, he asked Mira's permission.

"I don't have a choice. Perhaps I will grant you permission."

Mira admits to using the shower while immersed in a slight sense of superiority. "Thank you, thank you," Seoul said, disappearing into the shower room.

(Well, dinner should be... let him make it!)

Mira laid a special sleeping bag back on the floor and lay down all over it. Although I am hungry, I do not yet prepare my meal. That and this, because the Seoul Howl stunt is actually the dish.

One or two servings would be much the same. Having thought of it that way, Mira was a stomach buildup to have her share made as well as providing a cooking place.

(It would be perfect if I had a shower before I could cook!)

The finished dinner greets me where I left off refreshed in the shower. Mira giggles damned that it is the perfect flow, and she recalls the repertoire of Seoul Howl wondering what dish to order.

And that was the time.

'Er, hey, Master Singh. I wonder if it's connected. Mira. Meerer. Can you hear me?

That's what I heard in Mira's head.

What is this voice, Lord Martel?

Suddenly, Mira was starting to get used to hearing the Spirit King. But this time, I was surprised to hear a different voice. The Lord of the Voice is apparently the Martel of the Original Spirit. The voice color and Mira, who decided so in the words she heard, asks what was going on.

Then, were you happy that there was a reaction from Mira, saying, 'Oh, Mira! Amazing, I've got a good connection,' Martel's joyful voice came back noisy.

"I'm sorry, Lord Mira. I'm the only one who can talk to Lord Mira, and Martel pushes me away."

From between the shaky voices of Martel, now the voice of the Spirit King arrived. According to the story, the Spirit King enjoyed the adventure together through Mira's senses, as usual. But along the way, they got caught up in Martel's chatter. And until now, I was depressed to say that I missed the adventure of the corner because it had always been accompanied by chatter.

And in the middle of the chat, he said it became a stream of teaching not only the spirits, but also how to talk to Mira. The only time I can talk is when the Spirit King is connected to Mira's conversation. This means that Martel can cross whenever he talks to the Spirit King.

'Well, don't worry about it. For that matter, I don't think I can count on anything. "

If I have to, I have two people to talk to about ancient ginseng. Mira laughed with pleasure as she grinned bitterly that this was going to be reliable and noisy again.

"Lord Mira, by the way. Looks like someone's here, but wasn't that annoying?

"Oh, really? I'm sorry, Mira. '

The sound of water heard slightly from the shower room. Looks like the Spirit King heard about it and realized there was someone else besides Mira.

'No, there's no problem. He's enjoying the shower now. Let's not come out for the time being. "

I'm talking about Seoul Howl, who tends to have long water. Mira thought and replied that the shower alone would be quite a long time.

"From that mouthful, do you know Lord Mira? For example, you met a searcher. When I'm not looking... '

With the information he was peeking at, the Spirit King knew Mira was looking for a friend. That's why the Spirit King was looking forward to the reunion scene, but it seemed like a real shame that he got caught up in Martel's chatter and missed the moment.

"Oh, Mira's been here looking for people."

Try to push such a Spirit King, and Martel's voice enters.

"Uhm, he made the Holy Grail of God's Life and Glory. Following that trail, we're finally caught here."

"Well! In the making of the chalice. It's amazing. '

When Mira briefly explained it, Martell raised her voice to her surprise. The boulder should be called the Original Spirit, or he still seems to know about the Holy Grail of Divine Life and Glory. Moreover, he understood all the production procedures and also the difficulty. It seemed very impressive to me that it would have been terribly difficult for people to go through the procedure so far.

"Well done. I thought about making that one. Lord Mira's friend is really crazy."

The Spirit King also said so, as he was impressed. From the Spirit King's point of view, the production procedure seems quite difficult.

And, hearing that voice, Mira comes up with a fuss. Apparently, about the Holy Grail of Divine Life and Glory, the Spirit King and Martel, who look familiar. Then I wondered if the Holy Grail could really erase the devil's engraving.

As a matter of fact, we're still only talking about the possibility of erasing the devil's engraving with the power of the Holy Grail. At present, there is no clear basis there. But since that was the only possibility, Seoul Howl is working so hard.

By the way, I need to ask you something.

Will the effort be rewarded, or... When Mira speaks as if she had made up her mind, the Spirit King and Martel respond by asking her to listen to anything, just more and more. So Mira asked, looking for possibilities, hoping that Seoul Haul's efforts would not be wasted.

With the power of the Holy Grail of Divine Life and Glory, I wondered if it was possible to strike down the devil's engraving.

"Devil's Engraving, or"

Somehow it conveyed how the Spirit King conceived. What can not the power of the Holy Grail do to engrave the devil? Mira prepares the worst answer.

But the readiness, in the following words, was fogged at once.

"What is the devil's engraving?

"You've never heard of it."

That's what Martel and the Spirit King said with their mouths shut.

"What, bye..."

That the two who live as long as this world do not know the inscription of the devil. Mira's surprise was immeasurable.

'See, that's it. It's called the Curse of the Underworld, the Blessing of the Devil, etc., in that engraving.'

It was Mira who explained so, but King Spirit and Martel just replied that they had no idea.

And here Fumi Mira remembers. Speaking of which, he said that the call for the curse of the underworld, the blessing of the devil, etc. was a common name given by the players on their own. And the devil's engraving is also called just for convenience, and the engraving itself did not have an official name.

So Mira explained the engraving in detail. One day, he suddenly ripped off his skin and floated to his body. Six light stars and the symbols and shapes that line their surroundings, as well as the letters XV inscribed in the center. Whoever has this engraving floats, shorten the hour, and die unemployed. At that time, there was always a demon shadow beside it, etc.

Mira sums up information about events and other things she has seen so far to talk about as far as she knows. And finally, I also told him about the woman at the bottom of the ancient temple of Nebrapolis, the purpose of making the Holy Grail.

Then, after a brief silence, a surprising answer was returned from the Spirit King.

'Isn't that a sacred mark, sir?

Sacred marks. Unexplained wounds that appear in the bodies of the faithful. That was still a word that was not familiar to the demons of today, if they were once demons. But to that word of the Spirit King, Martel also agrees, 'Yeah, I think so too'.

When you hear about holy marks, most people think of holy things. Speaking of demons or angels, angels should float without having to either. Mira naturally did, too.

"Sacred marks...? I have a sacred impression of holy marks... '

Mira, who attacked several events, also did not hold shards of a sacred impression on the engravings said to be holy marks. However, the King of the Spirit and Martel affirm that what Mira is almost certainly referring to as the satanic engraving is a sacred mark.

"It's true, though, that if you put it to people, it might not be the same as a curse or anything."

The Spirit King began to talk about what the Holy Mark was like when he grumbled so much.

First of all, holy marks say that the divine power of sleeping, accumulated in the soul, manifests itself when it awakens due to some cause. And the divine power that causes it, but this, they say, is the power of the true God, only the holy marks.

Then why does a man's soul go so far as to dwell on this kind of power, which he says is simply coincidence, not for reasons like stories such as God's whim, consideration, grace, etc.

"Lord Mira, do you remember? About the night you dropped off my family's soul."

"Um, I remember clearly"

Mira nodded slowly at the voice of the Spirit King as she missed it. It looked far beyond the sky, remembering the great river of light.

"On that day, the" company on the other shore of Heavenly Tsu ", to which the soul returned, exists to adjoin the Divine Domain. For this reason, the divine power unleashed by God sometimes falls from scratch."

According to the story of the Spirit King, this zero-dropping divine power can reside in souls that were nearby depending on compatibility. The Spirit King laughs bitterly that it would be unfortunate in this case, although it is a very fortunate impression, such as being compatible with the power of God.

Nevertheless, if sacred power was just a dwelling, they wouldn't have that many problems. Because it is too much for people, naturally people cannot understand how to express themselves, and the divine power will continue to sleep inside the soul.

In some cases, they may become familiar with the soul of something time-consuming, benefit, or be able to freely handle the familiarity of the person's mana.

"Does Lord Mira know a man who is a miracle user of healing, healing any illness or wound?

"You're the miracle user of recovery... I did feel like I was at the church in Alice Farius. Thirty years ago, I don't know now."

A miracle of recovery. Mira recalls that there was such a thing in the quest that occurred in Alice Farius. Then apparently the Spirit King says that it is the divine power that is the identity of that power. Recovery, he said, is the most easily expressed force under the influence of this.

Because that's not easy either. Such things are extremely rare, and they are mostly fogged with recoil when the soul is freed from the flesh, that is, when it dies. Death is a phenomenon of loss so powerful that God's power is also defeated.

But before that happens. They say that when certain conditions are met, the power awakens and manifests itself in the form of sacred marks, while the divine power remains asleep inside the soul.

I mean, that girl I saw, she fulfilled the terms and conditions.

'That's the thing. The awakened force then first changes into a form that means force. In a world dominated by matter, form makes the most sense. That's the Six-Mountain Star, the shape and the symbol. But naturally a man's vessel can't stand it. thus tearing his skin apart'

Having heard so much explanation, Mira convinced herself that the devil's engraving was definitely with holy marks.

So what are the conditions under which holy marks are expressed? When Mira asked about it, the Spirit King replied that there were two main parts.

The first condition is the divine power to sleep inside the soul and interference by forces of the same kind. If there is something nearby with homogeneous power, it slowly resonates with it, and at the end of the day it is said to awaken. In the meantime, the divine power gradually awakens and swells and oppresses the soul, so that some malaise appears to man.

And the other condition, on the other hand, was interference by evil forces. Evil power, the opposite pole of divine power. When it approaches nearby, the force suddenly awakens, as if to confront it.

'Hmm...... Then, beside her, there wasn't one of them. "

'You'll be sure to think so. It's just that, on either condition, it's not what it is. I wonder where Lord Mira's daughter touched that power.'

One of the conditions, divine and homogeneous power, is God, or his genealogy, angels and other powers. Another condition, evil power, is everything that has abominations such as curses, and the power that demons have today. None of this, as the Spirit King put it, is like being there. The chances are extremely low that those with souls that dwell on the divine powers that are born very rarely will receive these forces to reach the expression of the sacred marks.

But the holy marks appeared. Where the hell did the woman meet the conditions?

Speaking of which, there was a demon in that place where Seoul Haul was rooted.

Maybe Mira, thinking about it, remembered what Seoul had told her.

The woman always came on her own and made a whole lot of noise, but one day the noise became modest. And finally, the devil's engraving, or holy marks, appeared.

The noise became modest. In other words, can we perceive that this was made uncomfortable by the divine power that gradually swelled? In doing so, interference by divine forces, not evil forces, is considered to be the cause.

'Well, maybe that girl touched a divine power somewhere. According to the story, because you seem to be a follower of emerging religions, have you been influenced by your gods or something?

That was the Mira I expected, but the Spirit King replied that it would be difficult.

'As a possibility, there may be. But when it comes to being able to interfere with the ability to sleep within beyond a wall called the soul, it has the same or more power as the artifact. I don't know how big that emerging religion is, but it will take at least 30,000 years for your gods to gain that much power. It is also a sect comparable to the Tritheism, if it was the only one of its kind. "

"It's tough, but it's no longer possible."

Sometimes, faith tells us that your God is as powerful as God. But it took an interminable amount of time and conditions to get to it. You won't be able to achieve it in the emerging world no matter what.

"If you have placed something powerful in your divine body from the beginning, that is not the case."

It is not uncommon for a new deity to have something more powerful than the original, or something that has been said, on the deity. But even in this case, he said he would hardly ever be in the same condition as that frozen woman.

First, it is not easy to procure artifact class gods. That is evident from the turbulent times, when the players were crowded.

Artifact. It is a mythical treasure that reigns at the top of immobility among several categories. No matter who it got, where it found it, and other information flying around, all of it was false and more obscure than rumors.

Despite reading through the various literature, including Mira and the other top players once rushed and pursued all over the continent, the artifact never even revealed its shadow.

And in the end, there was not a single sure piece of information that we had it, and one solution was that the artifact was exclusive to NPCs, and it was only up to the Epic level that players could handle it.

Only three artifacts whose location is currently confirmed are in the possession of the generals of the Three Kingdoms. So far, so far away from artifacts. If we were to put this on your body, the rumors would be spreading all over the continent in an instant.

Now, what if I put an object or a curse that is abominable on your deity?

In this case, he said, the divine power to recognize the evil power that serves as a threat and to sleep in the soul does awaken. But this doesn't match the symptoms of gradual malaise.

For these reasons, it came to the conclusion that emerging religions were irrelevant.

The condition is a gentle awakening, by divine force. What fills this is an artifact or something comparable to it.

(Speaking of which, one of the artifacts is missing. Does it have anything to do with it?)

The iron hammer on Yellow Springs Road, an artifact believed to have been used to wear the coffin of a sealed ghost. But the anticipation was that the artifact should now be in the possession of the devil. If so, he should be awake at once, first by the evil power of the devil, rather than gradually awakening.

And, having thought that far, Mira goes to another question.

By the way, I was convinced that the devil's engraving was a sacred mark, but why did those who bear it die in the unemployed?

A rising engraving, and a demon that will surely show a shadow in its death. Together, they had such ominous names as the curse of the underworld and the blessing of the devil.

But its identity is due to divine power. Then why is the situation like the devil has to do with it? Mira wondered.

'That would probably be easy. It seems because, as I said earlier, some people can freely manipulate the rare but sacred power'.

After saying so, the Spirit King made me predict the great muscles of the devil's actions.

The expression of sacred marks means the awakening of the divine power that slept within. And people can't possibly control that state, and power will always remain free. There's no way that demons with conflicting powers won't notice this.

Even if left alone, he is almost a self-destructing Holy Mark Holder, but rarely comes out who can manipulate his power familiarly and freely. It is the power of God, even though it is lacking. It becomes an absolute threat to the devil who dwells in evil power.

Therefore, in case it does not happen, the devil will be finished as soon as he finds the Holy Mark Holder, yes, the Spirit King said.

"Sure, I'm not convinced."

Holy marks that are sacred, yet have made an ominous impression. But it was due to the presence of the devil, who had called him because of his holiness. The Spirit King's prediction was a fitting one, and even if it applied to all the situations Mira knew, it was a reason to stick around.
