The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 80

#80. Regrets that go back (12)
“I have something to ask you.”
“yes.”
I guess that means ask.
“How did Princess Yuyoung kill her other brothers and ascend to the throne? And how are the three of you still alive today?”
“I don’t know.”
“Both questions?”
“I heard that ‘they’ can’t die originally. And I neither die nor grow.”
I understand.
She also doesn’t seem to know how the former Princess Yu-yeong ascended to the throne. She also doesn’t know how she is still alive.
After thinking it over carefully, I answered.
“Okay, I’ll help you.”
It’s worth a try.
Besides, if Do Hye-won’s testimony is true, Do Seon-woo is definitely a demon. His rank is at least upper level.
‘Maybe it’s Hocheon himself.’
Since ancient times, it has been common for demons to take on human shells. It is not difficult for them to eat a newborn baby and take its place.
‘If you are born into a noble family, there are many things you can do.’
Didn’t the high-ranking demon tribe that was under Changcheon at the time take over the position of Duke of a country and brainwash the crown prince?
In the same vein, even if the royal family of Su-guk had a tiger, well.
“But please don’t expect too much. My miracles are not omnipotent.”
“…yes.”
Do Hye-won nodded.
I looked at her in fox form and suddenly opened my mouth.
“Miss Hye-won. Could you please give me your hand?”
“yes.”
Did what happened earlier give you faith?
She reached out her hand (or paw) more obediently than I expected.
When I stroked the fur, I felt a pleasant fluffy texture. I held the meatball in my hand and activated the skill.
Completely healed.
I didn’t pray because I didn’t want to give false hope. The divine power that only I could see wavered for a moment.
That was the end.
‘ah.’
Do Hye-won was still somewhere between a beast and a human. My eyes narrowed at the sight.
‘The curse cannot be cured.’
Curses are not common in this world.
So, it was my first attempt, and it seems to have been a miserable failure. Complete healing is nothing more than a miracle that heals the ‘injuries’ and ‘diseases’ of the body.
“Miss Hye-won is really cute.”
“?”
I pretended not to know and let go of Do Hye-won’s front paw. My mind was spinning in a complicated way.
‘Can the library cure it?’
I don’t know.
If ‘complete cure’ had judged Do Hye-won’s condition to be simply ‘normal’, then treatment might have been possible.
According to her testimony, Doseo-won definitely needed treatment. At least, she would be different from Do Hye-won, who couldn’t feel pain.
But if you just don’t react to curses, then it’s a different story.
It will be incurable.
‘Well, I should still go to the palace.’
Wouldn’t it be better to lose than to gain?
If you could actually fix ‘them’, it would be a virtual point vending machine.
There is a 50% chance that the points will be copied!
“But Hye-won, as you can see, I have a hard time moving around on my own.”
“It looks like that.”
“So, in order to help Hye-won, I think I’ll need help from my colleagues. Is it okay if I tell this story to other people?”
Do Hye-won paused.
But soon he nodded.
“… … .”
“… … hot.”
Realizing the problem, she answers out loud this time.
“Okay, then.”
It was a refreshing agreement.
***
The next morning.
The three were astonished to see the blue fox clinging closely to Justinas’ side.
Of the three, the one who was most surprised was none other than Izumi.
“It’s me! It’s the fox who stole my purse!”
“The blue fox… … really exists?”
“… Amazing.”
“I need to give him a beating right now!”
Justinas stopped Izumi from rushing towards him.
“Just a moment, Izumi. And the other two, too. I have something to tell you.”
And so began Justinas’ explanation. The blue fox just sat there quietly listening.
And by the time the explanation was over.
All three were shocked.
“What the heck is going on.”
“I can’t believe it. Wow.”
“… … .”
Unlike the two who sighed out loud, Cedric bit his lips on the part that bothered him the most.
‘Black hair again.’
Black hair is rare.
Those with black hair and black eyes are even rarer.
Even in Chieto, where all kinds of people gathered, he had never seen a person with black hair except for himself.
But ever since the adventure began, black-haired people have been appearing continuously.
At first, it was the Duke of Villa in the branch office.
As it turned out, he was a demon who had been brainwashing Crown Prince Diold for over a decade.
Next up are the citizens of Nigel.
Nigel, known as the country of black hair, accepted only black-haired people as its citizens.
“Three centuries ago, when Emperor Xuanzhen ascended the throne, a large-scale massacre of black-haired people took place.”
“Even now, people with black hair are looked down upon in the palace. They cannot even move their residences at will, and must do whatever the designated master orders.”
“We have dispatched soldiers all the way to the area surrounding Su-guk to thoroughly search for and kill the remaining Black Hairs. The country established by the few survivors is here, Nigel.”
The reason was none other than the Emperor of the Water Kingdom. The Heavenly Emperor dried up the black-haired seed and killed them, so they all fled and created their own country.
And this time it’s Prince Yehyeon.
The royal family, whose cruel nature even Cedric admired, was unlikely to be human given the circumstances.
‘What is the reason?’
What does black hair mean?
In that case, most of Nigel’s people were just ordinary people, at least on the surface.
‘No, that’s not necessarily true.’
When they saw Justinas, their eyes were all menacing. The security situation didn’t look very good either.
Although it was a neighborhood where people were originally struggling, the public sentiment was bound to be bad, Cedric felt a certain vibe from them.
A murderer who doesn’t even blink an eye when someone dies right before his eyes.
If you change ‘person’ to ‘ruto’, it fits Nigel’s people perfectly.
Duke Biya and Prince Yehyeon too.
Himself too.
Aren’t they all of the same kind?
“Okay! As a warrior, I can’t pass up such circumstances.”
While he was lost in thought, the party members seemed to have reached a conclusion.
Izumi, in particular, was so angry that she clenched her fists.
“I can never forgive you for treating people like that.”
Cedric paused there too.
Do you treat people like that?
You can never forgive me?
It was someone else’s business anyway. Cedric couldn’t understand why Izumi was so angry.
To him, only those within the line were precious. Among them, Justinas was more than life itself.
He crossed his arms.
There’s definitely something wrong.
The realization rising from deep within me tickled my insides like a sneeze about to come.
Although Cedric himself did not know it, this was an unconscious movement to discover his true identity.
If Justinas had read his mind, she would have been horrified. She planned to make Cedric either never know that he was a demon for the rest of his life, or to make him admit that he was human after telling him everything.
Given her personality, if her plans were to go awry, she would have eliminated Cedric at all costs. Fortunately for Cedric, Justinas did not learn the ‘mind reading’ skill.
‘… I don’t know.’
Eventually, Cedric scattered the enlightenment that was just around the corner.
It was a moment of delayed awakening.
So, the warrior party overcame another crisis without anyone knowing.
***
The cruise ship’s anchorage was in a city right next to the capital. Once the destination was decided, there was no need to hesitate.
“and!”
Izumi, who was holding the railing right next to me, let out a gasp.
“It’s a wonderful city.”
Then he started describing the scenery to me in detail, and in short, he said that it was even more magnificent than the city at the entrance of the hydrangea.
I definitely agree with that.
‘A ten-story tower? There was no building that tall even in Kieto.’
Although Kieto is called a garbage dump or a cesspool, it is right next to the country of fire and the principality, which means there were quite a lot of abandoned concrete buildings.
So, even in the noble country of Seongguk, where technology was lacking, he was amazed at the state of Suguk.
When you see the tall pavilions and magnificent tile-roofed houses, you will truly realize the beauty of the Orient.
“The ship is anchoring! Everyone, please make sure no luggage has been left behind!”
With the sailor’s guidance, the passengers staying in the cabin began to pour out. Do Hye-won, who had made her way through the crowd, was stuck at my feet.
The little ones are so cute.
As I was patting his head, Cedric, who was carrying a lot of luggage, said.
“Let’s go now.”
“huh.”
I stepped forward cautiously, leaning on my cane. My hands and feet were still black from the effects of the area-wide healing.
‘You have to be careful.’
But there was one thing I overlooked.
“… … Youth, why are you walking like that?”
It turned out that Cedric’s powers of observation were much better than expected.
