Chapter 580
Odogmun is still a warm area, so there was no problem taking a bath.
Because it rained often and there was plenty of water, taking a bath itself was always easy.
But the North Sea Ice Palace is different.
There is water, but the temperature is too cold.
Therefore, taking a bath without firewood was tantamount to suicide.
‘After all, the gap between rich and poor is more scary than pseudo-believers? No, now that I think about it, they come together.’
If you are poor, you get sick often, and the more you get sick, the weaker your heart becomes.
A pseudonym is digging into that weakened gap.
Even though the blood missionary religion is a religion that truly gives blessings to those who sacrifice human beings… modern people think that this is something closer to systematic massacre instigation rather than a religion.
Anyway, after finishing the relief work, I repackaged my luggage.
“The palace lord doesn’t send anyone? “Could it be that this matter hasn’t caught my attention yet?”
Jin Cheon-hee shook her head at Gongsunyoung’s words.
“I guess it went in okay? There’s no way you wouldn’t know. “Nevertheless, leaving it alone means in effect condoning it.”
“Why are you doing this?”
“well.”
Jin Cheonhee sighed softly.
“Now that I think about it, why didn’t they give out smoking charcoal for free? Anyway, even if you receive that much money, you will lose a lot. In that case, wouldn’t it be better to gain public support and give it away for free?”
Jin Cheon-hee shook his head at those words.
“I vaguely thought that would be the case before, but it wasn’t so. Human psychology thinks that items received for free are also free in value. There’s no need to have a lot of ex-pats. “I have to get at least a little bit.”
This was a lesson I learned while inoculating smallpox in Hangzhou.
“Hmm.”
“If I hadn’t learned the lessons from Hangzhou, things might have been different. But I guess I am where I am today because I learned this lesson, right?”
He said that and stood up.
“I guess I should prepare tomorrow. I bought smoking charcoal and hot spring water… I looked around to see if there was any other way. It’s a great environment for washing, but isn’t it a waste? “That water is monopolized only by a few people in the North Sea Ice Palace.”
“That’s right.”
So Jin Cheon-hee headed to Merchant Street to buy ingredients.
While purchasing things for tomorrow, someone suddenly approached Jin Cheon-hee.
Although he was in disguise, Hwanggu pretended to know him.
That means someone who knows.
[This is a saint. If it’s okay, can I talk to you?]
This is the first time we’ve had a conversation like this in person.
The merchant took a step to the side and pointed to the back door.
The saintess winked and went inside the house first.
Jin Cheon-hee also followed the saintly woman into the store.
The saint removed the items from there one by one.
It felt like a melody I had played many times.
Finally, a secret room appeared that was small enough for one person to enter by bending over to the side.
A saint enters there.
Jin Cheon-hee and his party also went in together.
* * *
Prince Hanbing said as soon as he arrived in the secret room.
“What is going on? sister?”
“long time no see. Priests. “I’m really happy to see you healthy.”
She was a woman with a clear voice.
She took off her disguise and exchanged greetings with Prince Han Bing.
“Jin incinerator liquor. “The reason I secretly called you here is to ask for your help in catching the epidemic.”
She gritted her teeth.
“I will take responsibility for all funds spent on it. Now, my father is not the same father he used to be. My current father abandoned his people. As a saint of the Beihai Ice Palace and the Guardian Church, I can never ignore this.”
Although his voice was low and quiet, his eyes were stern.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“It’s too much for me alone. What I need most right now is taking a bath and doing laundry, but doing that often in the cold north is a daunting task. “Unless you want to use the hot spring water.”
“….”
The saint closed her eyes.
Finally she said.
“Firewood alone isn’t enough, right?”
“yes. Firewood also costs money. “Nowadays, people are in a situation where even cleanliness enough to prevent confusion fever is a luxury.”
“….”
Prince Han Bing said.
“I don’t know if you’re secretly providing funds, but I know that getting permission to open a hot spring is difficult even for you. Master is no longer the same person he used to be and will definitely discipline him severely. “Don’t overdo it.”
“…no. Priest Hanbing. “That can’t be possible.”
The saint said.
“Even if my father’s disposition has changed, I believe he will not behead my own daughter for the sake of the people. “I’ll try my best.”
Phew.
She took a deep breath.
All her life, she behaved properly as a saint and lived according to her father’s words.
Prince Hanbing clicked his tongue.
“I can’t believe that a good sister who always listened to her teacher made this decision.”
“There is a limit to just continuing to watch. “It’s my first time disobeying my father, so it’s a little scary.”
It has grown beautifully. That’s what I thought too.
However, they say it is a beautifully grown flower.
It was not that there was no sense of agreement.
“I am. My mother passed away when I was born. In my life as a saint, I haven’t done many difficult or rough things. “I know it’s because my father cared so much for me, and even I, who don’t know much about the world, know that if things continue like this, the North Sea Ice Palace will be shaken.”
“….”
“Priest Hanbing would know, right? “Something strange is going on in the North Sea Ice Palace.”
In the end, Han Bing spoke honestly.
“If you had eyes, you wouldn’t be able to see. The poor filled the streets. “The last time I came to the North Sea Ice Palace, it wasn’t at least like this.”
“okay. Moreover, they formed an alliance with the Apostolic Alliance and went to war. There is an epidemic currently going around in the North Sea Ice Palace, and I don’t know why my father made that choice. “In the past, my father was so cold-hearted that he sent the Ice Jeonggeom to Baekrin’s Pavilion to end the silver circle.”
“Does the North Sea Ice Palace want war?”
The saint answered Jin Cheon-hee’s question.
“It started to get weird years ago. Of course… up to that point, his actions had become cruel, but I could understand it because he only dealt severely with those who broke the precepts. Everyone thought it was because of their own feelings and moved on. “But.”
She gritted her molars.
“…But. “As the epidemic spread, my father became more and more strange, and so he formed an alliance with the Apostolic Alliance.”
“Does it change as the epidemic spreads?”
“yes. Of course, you are still leaving one step behind, even blood death. “But I’m not sure what the future holds.”
Jin Cheon-hee presses his forehead.
What can be seen between the white, thin fingers is a blue eye glow.
“Then let me ask you. “How long has a man named Saint-Germain settled here?”
“I remember it’s been at least 10 years. “You are a great person.”
“okay. “Is this person trustworthy?”
When the name of Saint-Germain suddenly came out of Jin Cheon-hee’s mouth, the saintess tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand, but then nodded.
“yes. He is greatly respected in this area. “I feel the same way.”
“…hmm. All right. Let me ask you one more question. What specifically does a saint do in the church? Ah haha. I’m definitely not arguing about religious issues. “I’m asking because I’m new to the country and don’t know much about it.”
It was a question that could be sharp, so I asked it while propping myself up on a soft cushion.
The saintess also answered right away, as if she wasn’t that upset.
“I am the guardian of the Torah and the custodian of the Holy Land. “In order to climb to the sacred site located at the top of that huge mountain, Cheonbingsan Mountain, I must perform a ritual.”
Prince Hanbing added a word.
“In Joongwon style, it can be said that a very special strategy is unfolding.”
“aha? Something like that? “It’s fascinating.”
“Also, among the saints of the past, there is one who hears the voice of heaven and makes prophecies, but I am ashamed to say that I have never heard of it.”
Is it like some kind of precognitive ability?
Anyway, she blushed as if she was embarrassed that she had never heard the voice before.
Prince Hanbing added quickly.
“But the ritual was not successful. “You are a worthy saint.”
“Thank you for comforting the priest. Do not care about it.”
Even though I said that, I couldn’t hide my reddened expression.
It seems that being able to hear the revelation is quite important.
Jin Cheon-hee pretended not to know and moved on.
“Aha… Anyway, this brings us one step closer to understanding the Guardian Church. In the future, I want to compile the things I saw and heard in Sae-oe into a book. Thank you.”
I spoke in a light tone on purpose and asked again.
“That saint. What should we do to break our alliance with the Apostolic Alliance? Or is there any clue that the palace lord will come back to his senses?”
The saint was lost in thought for a moment at Jin Cheon-hee’s direct question.
And said.
“If we investigate the Blue Light Crystal Mine, we might be able to find some clues…?”
“hmm?”
“As my father’s personality began to change, he began visiting the city frequently. Be sure to stop by the Cheonggwang Sujeong Mine. “He still visits twice a month.”
“Blue light crystal is as important an ore as ice crystal in the North Sea Ice Palace, so isn’t it natural to inspect it often?”
She shook her head at those words.
“I was trying to investigate privately and secretly. But a strange interference prevents me from doing so. “I sent some close associates, but they went missing.”
At those words, Jin Cheon-hee smiled kindly on the outside and thought this on the inside.
‘Oh, you say you grew up well without knowing anything about the world. You did everything you had to do under the water. ‘Saint.’
Aside from sending someone to your father for suspicious behavior, shouldn’t you be a bit intimidated by the fact that several people have gone missing?
I felt this way when I saw Jin Cheon-hee coming to her and coyly whispering in a low voice that she had to stop this.
‘…ah. I don’t want to become enemies with the saint in the future.’
There were people in the hospital who were externally treated.
These people do their work quietly and have a strong stress tolerance.
They are so-called stubborn people.
Even when you smile, always smile shyly.
You recorded the absurdity in the hospital and revealed it to the reporter.
It happened when Jin Cheon-hee was a chick.
At that time, the hospital was turned upside down, but many people, including seniors, came forward and were able to improve it in a better direction.
‘I didn’t know that when I was young. Since my senior runs, I also run. My senior told me to go to the website and sign, so I signed.’
As my hair got thicker, I thought about it and realized that so many people came forward at that time as if they had been waiting for it.
Maybe it was because the quiet nurse at that time asked for everyone’s help and made comments before she exploded?
‘The quiet nurse solved the problem and left.’
There is a shortage of nurses everywhere anyway, so don’t worry.
He left some food on Jin Cheon-hee’s desk, saying that his body was tired but there was no need for spider webs to form in his mouth.
Even though he was leaving, he filled the whole basket and gave it to his senior who would still stay.
He said in a low voice that it was a gift to his comrades who would suffer the most in the future.
The senior smiled like the devil and handed out chocolate bars to everyone.
‘It’s courageous people like this who change the world.’
At the same time, it was these courageous people who disappeared first.
How hard did you try to prevent it?
The mistakes and regrets from that time become experiences.
It became the spine that supported the heart.
“All right. “I’ll be back.”
“i look forward to. “Gin incineration liquor.”
The saint greeted deeply in a low voice but with strong eyes.
