#72 How Shamans Influence War (1)
Kuung –
The gates were closed with the inspiration of Paramon.
All the knights who had gone out to deal with the undead have returned.
“Thank you for the help of the church.”
The Pope responded to the inspirational greeting.
“I’m sorry I’m late. I should have come to help you a long time ago…”
“Thank you for giving me great strength.”
Aluard ran straight towards me.
“Is your majesty well?”
“of course.”
“cadet…!”
After a while of greetings and conversations, people started to move.
however….
“Why are you so observant?”
The knights standing behind the inspirations.
And people who appear to be high-ranking nobles.
They were sneaking glances at me, glancing at me from the corner of their eyes.
“Isn’t that a natural thing?”
Aluard looked at me with a rather strange expression.
“what?”
“Even I would have noticed Chris’s expression. I carried the saintess on my back as I crossed the battlefield.”
“hmm….”
“You barely walked there?”
It seems like it was a radical action.
Seeing the nobles doing that.
“Where are those people going?”
A larger number of wizards than before were rushing toward the castle gate.
“I’m going to see the generals.”
“Inspiration Clocell!”
“Would you like to go together?”
Now that I think about it, it seems like there have been changes to the jangseung.
Clearly, his appearance and energy had grown.
“Fortunately, this reinforcement force included a spirit master.”
“A spirit master?”
“It also included two water spirits.”
“….Are they those people?”
Two people being dragged behind by wizards.
The strong scent of water seemed to be what the spirit master had been talking about.
The problem is that he looks extremely haggard.
He looked to be in worse shape than the others who had fought in the battle.
Rather than feeling tired, I feel like my bones are touching.
“While you were away, they gave the generals water.”
“It’s a blessing.”
The gate that had been closed not long ago opened again.
As I followed my inspiration, wizards who had seen me before came to greet me.
“You’re finally back.”
“I waited with bated breath.”
“There have been changes among the generals, would you please confirm?”
These wizards… .
It wasn’t normal for the eyes to sparkle.
One of the wizards nodded and the spirit master walked out.
“W…is it starting already?”
“Now that the battle is over, I will be thirsty like last time. Please give me Undine.”
“If you rest a little more and then do it…”
Tingling.
“Let’s get started right away.”
Shiver shiver.
The spirit master’s fingertips were trembling.
The remaining spirits were breathing a sigh of relief, as if it was fortunate.
“What on earth did they do to deserve this?”
Clocell waved his hand as if it was nothing.
“All I did was give them water. The generals only drink the water from the Undines.”
“…I don’t think that’s all?”
The old man, who had been licking his lips for a moment, began to explain.
“There were only two water spirits, so they took turns giving water.”
Up until this point, I thought it was nothing serious.
But the explanation that followed left me speechless.
“I kept watering it, alternating day and night.”
“….?”
If you said it was while I was away, it wouldn’t have been short, right?
You kept watering it during that period?
Inspiration opened his mouth with an interested expression.
“The generals are drinking a lot of water. The amount is increasing day by day.”
“….”
“I started watering them in the morning, and by the time night came… one of them had collapsed.”
“….yes?”
“Then the remaining person starts to water it.”
Isn’t that abuse?
You work until you drop…?
Two shifts, day and night?
“I asked you to volunteer, so don’t worry about it.”
“Volunteering isn’t something you do, it’s something you receive…?”
“That’s the way it is among wizards.”
Whatever the situation, Jangseung grew quite well as the inspiration said.
When it was first made, it was about knee high.
But now, they were both as high as my waist.
“You’ve really grown a lot…”
I turned my head away from the spirit master who was looking at me longingly and looked at the jangseung.
“I don’t think it was ever cut like this…”
I’m not very good at carving like this.
Now, even if you just look at it, doesn’t it look cool?
It really had the face of a jangseung that I had only seen in books.
Judging from the fact that his facial features are changing little by little, I don’t know what he’ll look like when he grows up… .
The divine energy contained within had also grown beyond recognition.
“…Is this really a jangseung?”
No matter where you look in the world for a jangseung, there is none that has this kind of energy.
Could it be because it was carved from a branch of the World Tree?
The voice of the spirit master was heard from the side.
“Undine…”
Spot –
Undine reveals herself.
It was flying around in the air, blushing, and then came near me.
– ….?
It was our first meeting, perhaps because it wasn’t the spirit that Serena had called.
They looked similar, but their temperaments were a little different.
– ….!
Bow –
And as expected, Undine greets him as if she knows something.
The eyes of the spirit master standing next to me were filled with a strange feeling.
“Is it true that Undine just greeted you?”
“that’s right.”
“How could that happen… You are a mysterious person, just like I heard.”
The curious gazes began again.
Why does it seem like everyone involved with magic looks at me like that?
“Ugh!”
“Luna?”
Luna fidgeted behind me.
The way he waved his arms toward Undine sounded like he was asking her to come down.
“Do you want to wait?”
Swish –
I unwrapped Luna as I was accustomed to, carried her forward, and approached Undine.
“This is a spirit…um…”
What would this look like to Luna?
“It’s like water for now.”
“What?”
Have you seen it?
A baby less than a month old tried to say water?
Undine flew towards us.
“He’s my brother.”
– …..?
Nodding –
Shit shit shit –
“Wow!”
Undine’s eyes, which had been looking back and forth between me and Luna, suddenly widened.
Whirlyrick –
Undine was circling around Luna.
He lightly dropped a few drops of water towards Luna and flew towards Jangseung.
As expected of a saint, Undine also seemed to show a sense of friendliness.
“….?”
Groan groan –
“…what?”
We were so busy examining the jangseung that we didn’t realize that all eyes were on us.
The soldiers on the wall and the magicians who came to inspect the jangseung were all looking at us.
“They say the baby you are holding is a saint.”
“A saint and a saintess appeared together?”
“You don’t have to worry.”
The wizards’ eyes also sparkled.
“You all must have seen it clearly, the moment that guy Chris appeared, Jangseung turned his head.”
“I witnessed that moment clearly.”
“You said it even rose from the ground?”
“The area that blocks the undead has also expanded.”
Woorur –
This time, the priests came rushing out from inside the castle gate.
“It is time for the saint to eat.”
“It seems like you’ll be tired, so you should take a quick rest…”
“I’m worried because you’re holding Chris and won’t let go.”
Clocelle came and stood next to me, grinning.
“You’re really a celebrity now.”
“It’s difficult…”
“It’s only natural. I’ll have to receive more attention like this from now on.”
Groan groan –
I’m not a monkey in a zoo or anything.
It was extremely uncomfortable to have people’s eyes focused on me.
As it becomes more famous, there will be more people coming to see the fortune teller… .
“When on earth will I ever rest…”
“Let’s go in now. We have a lot to talk about.”
We started to share stories about various things, following our inspiration.
Given the circumstances, it seemed inevitable that we would have to suffer.
It was my destiny too.
“Don’t you feel anything more about them?”
“Um… the undead’s condition was a bit strange.”
It felt different from the last time I saw it in the Elf Forest.
This time, it feels like something is stuck to me.
I felt a lot of regrets left in my body.
And the thoughts of the souls that are falling away.
“I think we should go up the mountain as soon as the elves arrive.”
“Is that right?”
“We need to find out quickly. The top of the mountain has turned too dark.”
After giving some instructions to the wizards following behind, Clocell returned to me.
“I’ve already made the preparations.”
But, you know.
“Can you do as I say…?”
I am a person who does not even know what war is.
Doesn’t it seem like all these people are moving as if they were following my words?
“Taking your opinion into consideration is a way to reduce casualties.”
“Umm…”
“Don’t worry, we’ll take care of the rest of the operation ourselves. We’re all excellent friends, so you won’t be lacking anything.”
After all, even if I wasn’t there, they were people who would have somehow won the battle.
These inspirations are the ones who have already led the continental war to victory.
“Reduce the number of victims…”
Maybe this is my role.
“It won’t be easy.”
Jeokbuk –
Woorur –
People kept following us.
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood.
Have you adapted to combat?
It also seemed like he was trying to forget the deaths of his colleagues by joking about them.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw that.
Because they saw something else beyond them.
“Inspiration.”
“Please speak.”
“I think we need to move forward a little.”
I was wondering why I hadn’t seen any of them since earlier.
But I never thought something like this would happen.
“Spirit is wandering around the village…”
From afar, a line of souls was walking towards me.
Their eyes were all blank and not in perfect condition.
“….So that’s why you drank a lot of water.”
The souls that had lined up at the gate changed direction and began to circle the village again.
The jangseungs turned their path around.
“You’ve captured my soul.”
