Chapter 486 – [A Guide for Transcendents Traveling in the Post-Apocalypse]

The mad dogs came out and shot the moderator to death with a crossbow as an example.

The head of the presenter exploded like a smashed watermelon with a succinct feeling. Considering the level of the kids here, that’s just a threat.

Anyway, they killed the moderator, took out crossbows, pointed them at the auctioneers, and then shouted:

“Kill everything that moves!!!!!”

As if trying to put those words into practice, someone flinched, and a wild crossbow shot and blew one person’s head off.

Really anyone shot. If they tried to shoot Shion, they would have torn him to death, but they blew someone else’s head off and took the items that were up for auction.

Of course, the first thing I got was the enhanced serum. Perhaps that was the purpose, and it is noticeable that he paid attention to it.

“I shouldn’t have done that, but I didn’t know that.”

“What do you think you’ll do if you regret it now? Shut up and keep your mouth shut.”

“Okay”

“Ah, our sandyong byproducts are also dancing!”

“Aren’t you talking too blatantly?”

Stealing other people’s things is not as good as stealing your own. Ruri growled at the sight of those stealing the by-products of the sand dragons.

But Ruri and I are separate. No matter how much Ruri screams, if there is no damage to us, she will stand by.

At least that was a clear boundary for us. As if Ruri here and Ruri on Earth were different people, the line to interfere with each other was a separate issue.

I’m a bit reluctant to lose the money I’ve earned, but it’s manageable. However, to lose the money Shion earned was to tear the opponent to death and tear them all apart.

For me, Zion is my top priority.

“They kill all the babies that move!!! There, you!!!!!”

At that time.

I don’t know who it was, but a threat or something, someone fired a crossbow at Zion.

A quarrel with the power to explode a human skull was fired. The kids here have more advanced technology than Earth, so no matter how old-fashioned they are, they are more powerful than normal bullets.

What they did was done with the intention of blowing off Shion’s head. There is nothing else to look out for. I received the Quarrel it fired with my hand and glared at them.

“Uh?”

“Did you fucking touch Zion?”

“Hey! It’s a reinforced soldier!!!!! Shoot them all!!!!!”

As it is, dozens of quarrels are pouring at me. But none of them gave me a fatal wound.

Even if that’s fucking

Did these bastards touch Zion?

Shion roughly predicted what would happen in the future and spoke with a sigh.

“I’d appreciate it if you could do it in moderation”

“I will conform to the ethical notion here.”

But isn’t the concept of ethics here a long time ago? I can tell just by looking at this, damn it!!!!!

After that, I rushed to tear them limb from limb.

*        *    *

Really, really, it wasn’t until the minimal torture was over that things showed signs of calming down.

Actually, I didn’t do that much. Twenty mad dogs were torn from limbs as they were and tortured in a form that only inflicted pain without bleeding.

Whether it was an agent of a nobleman or just a merchant who bought some money, those people were just shocked to see me.

“Ahhhhh!!!!!”

“It cries quite loudly, but that’s not enough!!!!”

“Kuuuuu!!! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!!! Please forgive me!”

“If you were only going to forgive me for that, you wouldn’t have done it in the first place, right?

If it was enough to listen to the children’s pleas, they would have forgiven them long ago.

Each of them screams in harmony and screams. It’s quite orchestra-like, so it’s pretty good to listen to. Perhaps someone with sadistic tendencies wanted to record it and listen to it.

No? No!

“……Isn’t that something that needs to be dried?”

“What do you mean?”

“This is common sense here. Wouldn’t it be better to just say that?”

It is common sense that if the stomach splits and the intestines leak out, it is common sense that it will die sooner or later unless it is sutured.

However, torture that has reached the stage becomes an art. It’s quite an interesting sight to see someone cut open but no blood coming out and showing off talent but only getting sick and not dying.

“Not even a mad dog…!!”

“You can’t do it to normal people. So you’re doing it to mad dogs, right?”

“It’s ridiculous logic, but it’s a problem because it’s persuasive!!!”

Soon it is time for public power. If I had been able to avoid the seat, I would have had enough time, but I couldn’t help it because my pride couldn’t tolerate the people who were trying to harm Zion.

Rather, I can flexibly deal with threats at my convenience. However, when it comes to Zion’s stake, it’s pretty easy, so I don’t think about compromise.

“Don’t move!! If you move… Ugh?!”

The city’s security forces rushed in. The security here is originally a mess, so the guards are armed and go around, but they came with heavy armament that could be called an army.

Armor that hums strangely. It had a better form and function than the one Ruri wore, and it seemed to be driven by ectoplasm.

They broke into the auction house and were horrified to see a bloody corner of the auction house. Some even vomited.

No, living in a world like this is bitter if you have such a weak stomach.

“Don’t you think what you did was so terrible?”

“Oh, that’s a good twist.”

“…Originally, this seems like a normal idea, but I don’t know if this place is strange or you are strange.”

“Or both”

Because the level of equipment is different, it is not a hunting dog, a wild dog under an aristocrat like Jin-gyo. It was a formal city army where city residents formally entered under the nobility and swore allegiance.

They look at me, who has created this situation, with eyes that are half wary and half afraid, and aim their crossbows this way. The man who seemed to be the leader looked around the auction house and asked me at a distance.

“I heard that there was a robber trying to rob the auction items, so I went to the scene… Is this your fault?”

“The thief is this way. You’re not trying to mess with a strict person, are you?”

“Mister, get out of here for a bit. If he talks about it, I get an inexhaustible feeling that I will get burned.”

You think you’ve already had enough of the shit?

Still, I took a step back and handed over the initiative to Ruri. Luri crouched out with a good-natured smile on her face.

“Hey, you’ve worked hard. Just call me Ruri, a wild dog.”

“It’s Kiyeong Doshi-gun and Eunyang Camouflage. I’d like to hear from you first.”

“Then why don’t you start by lowering the crossbow first? There are people who are in trouble if you touch it and it explodes.”

When Ruri sneakily glanced at me, the eyes of a man named Ju-dae in Eunyang’s stomach also focused. Although he has mixed boundaries, the fact that he has a hint of exploration is proof that he is quite capable.

“Is it only the author who fought?”

“Yeah, well. We didn’t have to go out, we didn’t have time to go out.”

“To kill that number alone… It must be a reinforced soldier.”

“Yeah what”

“Even if it doesn’t matter what city the reinforcements are from, I’d like to express my gratitude for killing them. These days, mad dogs aren’t unusual… But since they committed murder in the city, they should be investigated to some extent.”

“…How long will that take?”

“It depends on the situation, but it should take a few days.”

It was clear that Ruri was slightly embarrassed. We are in the middle of being chased right now. That’s why I fled to this city for now, but wasting time here is a complete turnaround.

Ruri, wondering what to do, came this way for a moment. And he asked, bowing his head toward Zion with a respectful look he had never shown before.

“What shall we do, Lord Shion? If we waste time here, the journey will be disrupted.”

“…….”

I barely noticed why Ruri was doing that. She had already suggested that she avoid trouble by revealing that she was a wandering aristocrat before entering this city.

I think it’s because he thinks that now is the timing… Hmm, I think so too. If you have to, you can solve it by force, but in the end, this is the best choice right now.

Shion also noticed. Then she turns over the hood that covers her face and reveals her face.

For an instant, the auction house became quiet. For those of us who knew Shion’s appearance, it’s no big deal, but originally, Shion’s appearance was one of the top beauty among transcendent people. Even if her youthful appearance is a minus, she is a good enough look to push that taste to second place.

In addition to that, white skin is a symbol of nobility for the people of this era.

“…….!!!”

First, they are surprised by their appearance, and secondly, they are shocked at how noble they are. As soon as Eunyang’s stomach guard grasped the situation, he knelt down and bowed his head to show respect.

“Forgive me for the rudeness of what I’ve done. I didn’t know you were a noble person”

“I don’t mind. But I’m in the middle of speeding up my journey due to personal business, so I can’t take a long time. How can I do this?”

“Is that person an escort for a noble?”

Eunyang’s stomach guard looked at me and asked. It was the moment when he was upgraded from a simple reinforced soldier to an aristocratic escort… Although he was actually a husband.

“Yes, he did that because they tried to hurt me. It’s overkill, but as an escort, I just did the obvious thing, so I hope you have mercy.”

“Okay. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this.”

“Thank you”

It was a simple thank-you. But for some reason, he showed signs of excitement as if he had just heard words of great encouragement.

…….I can roughly guess what their work life is like.

Afterwards, Eunyang’s guard and his troops recovered what had been a stray mad dog and went back. Shion covered her face again, but there are many other people around her who recognized Shion’s identity.

“Let’s get out of here before we get further involved”

“If you revealed your identity, wouldn’t it be okay to be treated rather?”

“Revealing that you are a nobility is just a stopgap measure. A nobility who simply carries only relics is not treated very well, but if you have reinforcements, the story is different. They say that even if a rich man perishes, he will go on for three generations. Same?”

“It might reveal your dark heart.”

“So you have to jump right in before that.”

But by the time we got to the inn, it was already too late. Just as we were about to pack up and leave, a person sent by the mayor came to visit us.

“Excuse me. Speaker Kiyoung wants to invite a noble”

The action was pretty quick. As soon as I saw whether it was that urgent or greedy, it seemed that the order had been given.

The feeling… Wasn’t bad. If the Absolute of Destiny did not intervene, I would get a rough feeling about what would happen in the future, but this time there was nothing special about it.

“If I refuse, I’m sure I’ll be grateful and there will be a lot of problems, but I’d rather go and sleep for a day and make an excuse for my schedule.”

“How’s the noble reputation here?”

“It’s not bad, but it feels like there’s nothing really good?”

“Sounds fine”

Before long, we were guided to a building in the center of the city.

It is a white building that stands out even from a distance. Baekhee said it was a super-luxurious hot spring vacation facility, but when I looked closely, it was decorated with a splendor worthy of such a modifier.

Compared to the buildings made of earth and stone in the city, it is an extremely heterogeneous building. Beyond the simple material, the construction method, technology, and level are also different.

At least with the technology of the world after the destruction, a building of this height could not be built. It is roughly equivalent to the height of a half-half building, but it is almost certain that it will collapse before it is usually built like this.

Upon entering through the front door of the building, a gorgeous lobby welcomes you.

Befitting the name Chohohwa, you can see pretty oriental palace-like decorations everywhere. A masterpiece that seems to exist even after a long time has passed, a lighting that emits a soft light but has an antique look, or a lighting that is not explicit but has a luxurious feel.

“It’s a familiar sight…”

Baekhee made a sad expression. For her, the scenery of the facility that still remains is more familiar to her than the scenery after her destruction.

There is a period of frozen sleep in the middle, but the time I didn’t even notice is meaningless. For her, her anima empire existed only a short time ago, so it’s not strange to be sentimental on the other hand.

“Welcome, I’ve been waiting for you. I’m Hwaja Kiyeong, the owner of this city.”

Soon we were guided to a place that seemed to have been prepared as a reception room in a building. A woman dressed in luxurious clothes greeted us on a soft sofa made of animal skins that we had never seen before.

…….Was it a woman? Fortunately, it seems that only one misfortune in the bay can be skipped. If you don’t have a homosexual taste, you won’t covet Zion.

What if you covet it? I’m a person who pursues gender equality, so I beat and kill, but men and women won’t go!

“My name is Shion. Please forgive me for not revealing the family name due to circumstances.”

“I……”

Following Xion, Baekhee also revealed herself by taking off her hood. But if there’s one thing she didn’t expect, it’s all about what she reveals about herself.

“I am called Emperor Baekhee.”

“……The Emperor?”

Wait a minute, come to think of it, wasn’t that the castle of the imperial family?
