You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿ - Chapter 228

In the middle of the night in the countryside, where there was no artificial light at all.
The night in the countryside, where there were no houses around, was incredibly quiet.
The only things you could hear were the breathing of people sleeping in their rooms, and the sound of water flowing from a stream somewhere.

Compared to the noisy city, this wasnât even noise.
These were the people I could tolerate.
âGood.â

How nice would it be if the world were this quiet even on a regular basis?
It would be nice if everyone except the people I could tolerate died.
Crunch!

I frowned because the chestnut skin didnât come off cleanly.
Was it because it wasnât roasted properly, or because the chestnut itself was rotten?
ââ¦â¦ How long are you going to keep it like this?â

âItâs noisy.â
Thud.
I threw the chestnut that wasnât peeled properly toward the voice I was hearing.

The root is rotten and cannot be saved, whether it is a chestnut or that human.
Hyun-am frowned after being hit directly with a chestnut on the forehead.
âStop being childish. Even a young animal would be better than this. You canât find any mannersâ¦â¦â

âI would have said it was noisy.â
Bam!
This time, I hit the chestnut with more force.
I glared at Hyun-am, who had his mouth shut.

âYou forgot all about manners when you were driven out into the wilderness? And honestly, when was that? You still look for manners in me?â
The only people I could talk to were slightly crazy dragons or real demons.
The former was annoying, and the latter⦠⦠was even more annoying.

âIâm already having a hard time keeping you alive, so donât talk to me. Just keep quiet.â
I was wasting a lot of energy just sitting still like this.
It wasnât just that I was eating five chestnuts at a time.

The reason wasnât just because I was looking at Hyunamâs unfortunate appearance.
âThis is some kind of magic-eating monster.â
The âspaceâ that kept Hyunamâs body.

An incredible amount of magic was pouring out just to maintain that dimension.
I had rebuilt my body with golden lacquer, and even though I was sucking in pure magic, it was difficult to maintain it.
It was a state like a bottomless pit.

Actually, that wasnât strange.
-The system complained to the user, âJeong Da-on.â
It was an incident that the system would display such a message.

âIt wouldnât be a very good phenomenon for the system.â
In fact, I had created my own world within the dimension called Earth.
And it wasnât a normal world, but a world that moved according to my own laws.

It was like there was another area that the systemâs restrictions didnât reach.
Of course, it was a small space that only one person could fit in.
âHonestly, I didnât know it would be like that.â

A magician is someone who sets their own rules and changes the world, but there are limits.
There are many factors that determine the control of magical power, the body, and the limitations of a magician.
Thatâs why a magician who uses mantra magic to overcome those limitations and redefine the world with language is special.

Of course, that special magician is me, but I didnât think I would be able to completely create a world so quickly.
âIf you ask me to do it again, I donât think I can do it.â
At the time, I thought I had to âkeepâ Hyunam, so I tried to create a new space where time would not pass within a certain range.

However, usually, even if magic temporarily breaks the rules of the world, it naturally returns to the laws of the existing world as time passes.
Thatâs why itâs hard for magic to last forever.
However, the new world I created was still maintained without being dismantled just by pouring magical power into it.

To be honest, I donât know how I did this either.
âThe only thing I can guess is the skill⦠⦠.â
The âCovenant of Dawnâ skill that I used for the first time this time.

When I looked at the skill description in the system, I thought it was just a skill that allowed me to use my original power⦠â¦
âIt wasnât just my original power⦠⦠, it felt like my prime power had returned.â
The âmeâ I remember from my previous life was a bit past my prime, so I didnât know that I would be able to regain my prime power.

Of course, even if thatâs the case, the fact that I can do this means that my level as a magician has improved⦠â¦
â⦠⦠Was there something that could raise my level?â
Iâm already at the peak as a magician.

Iâm not just talking about ability.
In order to reach a higher level as a magician, I actually need to gain another enlightenment⦠⦠.
There wasnât anything that could give me enlightenment.

- The system reports that the user, âJeong Da-onâ, is successfully completing the quest âIf you do good deeds, you will be blessed¿â.

ââ¦â¦What nonsense are you talking about?â
If the system had a real body, I would have thrown chestnuts at it.

That stupid swarm intelligence seems to want to claim that I unknowingly gained enlightenment while completing that ridiculous quest.
âNonsense.â
Of course, what I did in Soju was judged as good karma according to the criteria of the âIf you do good deeds, you will be blessed¿â quest.

However, that did not really give me enlightenment.
All I saw were selfish humans who chose the latter between immediate death and the great disaster that would come later.
Of course, there were humans who ran to help other city humans later⦠⦠.

âHuh.â
I snorted.
Why did my magic level go up because of that little incident?

Indeed, no matter how much of a swarm intelligence it is, it is just a swarm intelligence of stupid humans, so it is at that level.
âI thought useless thoughts because of you.â
Hyun-am frowned as he glared at the chestnut skins that were piling up.

ââ¦â¦What did I do?â
âWell, itâs not just because of you. The fairy is just being unnecessarily weak.â
Ironically, Han Jae-young, who had regained consciousness this afternoon, passed out again soon after having been asleep for a week.

He would have been asking useless questions and just fainted, wondering how he could possibly damage the main body of Orbis. He was a fairy who was completely useless.
âWell⦠⦠Itâs quite remarkable that he recovered this much in such a short period of time.â
The speed of his recovery was also thanks to Han Jae-youngâs family home in the countryside.

I looked at the tree on the veranda where I was sitting.
The energy it contained was extraordinary in many ways.
âDid it come from the fairy world?â

The wood itself was unusual for coming from this earth.
The energy of the wood, which had a white tint somewhere, was truly pure.
And the main beam supporting the roof of this hanok was also unique.

It wasnât the kind of wood you normally see.
The outer surface was very rough and black, and it was even bent.
âThey used wall jujube.â

It was so full of energy that even the most evil spirits wouldnât approach within 1km.
It really seemed like a house built for fairies who loved nature.
That was when.

There was a rustling sound behind me.
I turned my head.
âYou donât seem to be sleeping well.â

A woman in comfortable pajamas opened the door and came out onto the veranda.
Han Yeong-won.
Even if she were dropped on the floor of a crowded market, anyone would know that she was Han Jae-youngâs mother.

âIs it uncomfortable to sleep? Itâs not easy to sleep on the floor after living in a bed.â
âNo, thatâs not true.â
After leaving the orphanage and living with Jeong Da-jeong, she slept on the floor more often than in the bed.

Itâs not that sheâs out because sleeping on the floor is uncomfortable, sheâs just awake to watch over Hyeon-am.
However⦠⦠.
I glanced at Han Yeong-won and continued.

âRather, the house site isnât that good, for people to live in.â
In Korea, the first thing to consider when building a house is the topography.
A good site is definitely a place thatâs wide and rich in land.

âIsnât the location ambiguous, considering the amount of thought put into the material?â
But here, the house was built on a hill that jutted out from the flat land.
There is a saying, âè­·è¡ç§æ (guarding and accommodating).â

Usually, in places like this, they donât build houses but temples or shrines, so it was unusual to see so much care put into each piece of wood.
âThatâs a sharp point, youâre right.â
Han Yeong-won laughed after hearing what I said.

âThis isnât an ordinary house, itâs a place entirely for Jae-young. Our child isnât an ordinary person.â
âAre you saying that you built a shrine because heâs a half-fairy?â
âThatâs not wrong. There are so many evil things in the city that can harm Jae-young. I wanted him to come back here and recover a little if he was harmed by evil things.â

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Evil things.
It wasnât an ordinary word.

I peeled another chestnut and looked at Han Yeong-won.
In fact, it was a good opportunity to satisfy my curiosity.
Although I happened to come to Han Jae-youngâs family home, I was curious about what kind of person Han Jae-youngâs mother was.

After all, she was the one who gave birth to a fairy hybrid.
Since fairies are almost asexual beings, I was curious as a wizard about how it was possible to give birth to a hybrid purely biologically⦠⦠.
I was also curious about what kind of person it was to give birth to a fairy hybrid and raise it.

And now, as a result of my observations.

âIt seems like there is a divine energy.â
Something huge is cast over the soul that I looked into through my observation eyes.

That shadow is probably⦠⦠The existence of a shaman in Korea is called a âgod.â
âWell, it was unusual that he didnât care at all after seeing Hyeon-amâs appearance.â
Even Han Jae-young fainted at the sight of that appearance, but Han Yeong-won didnât care at all from the beginning.

Is this an ability gained from living in the fairy world for a long time, or is it an ability that you originally had?
âIâve actually heard your story a few times. I was curious, but this is nice to meet you.â
âI didnât know Han Jae-young was the type to tell you everything in detail.â

âOh, thatâs just Hanul. I heard it from Hyung-hwa.â
Is it Son Hyung-hwaâs story?
Come to think of it, Son Hyung-hwa and Lee Hyun-joon knew that Han Jae-young was a half-fairy.

So those two people knew Han Jae-youngâs mother in the first place?
Thatâs why they must have known that Han Jae-young was a fairy.
âIâm close with Hyung-hwa and her husband. When Jae-young wanted to go into the hunter world, I asked for advice.â

âWhat did he say about me?â
âHyun-joon said you were suspicious. He said that innocent kids were being fooled, so we had to get rid of them somehow.â
Itâs the kind of awkward thing that a parent with a teenager would â NоvеlÑgÒ»t â (Only on NоvеlÑgÒ»t) say.

âInnocent kids. You know that theyâre both older than me, right?â
âWhat does physical age mean?â
ââ¦â¦â

I frowned.
This conversation was secretly awkward because Han Yeong-wonâs eyes looking at me felt like they were piercing my soul.
ââ¦â¦ So, what do you want to say?â

Han Yeong-won chuckled when he saw me frown.
âJust, please take good care of our child. I really like Jeong Da-on.â
âI thought you said we werenât lovers.â

âHey, itâs better to have someone like you as a friend.â
I really donât know what heâs talking about.
Han Yeong-won clapped his hands.

âOh, come get your fortune told early next year. My fortune is much more accurate than Jae-youngâs. Iâll do it for free.â
âNo, Iâll decline. I donât believe in fortune tellers.â
âReally? But I still want to tell you this.â

Han Yeong-won pointed at Hyun-amâs face with his finger.
âDonât trust that guy too much.â
I looked at Hyun-am and said quietly.

âI know.â
Han Jae-young lay down for three more days and finally woke up.
By then, he had grown to the point where he could build a small mountain out of chestnut shells.

Han Jae-young, who had woken up, said with a tired face.
âYouâre stealing a squirrelâs winter food like thisâ¦â¦.â
âIâm hundreds of times bigger than a squirrel. So, now tell me.â

I was also reaching my limit.
I was getting tired of killing time by throwing chestnut shells at Yoo Han-ul and Hyun-am.
âSo, how can we damage the main body of Orbis?â

Then Han Jae-young cleared his throat at my question.
âIâll put it simply. The original human soul is a complete world in itself, and no matter how much it is separated, it is still the same soul at its core.â
âThatâs right.â

Leo, who was sitting on my lap, yawned.
âBut the separation of the soul itself is âuncleanâ from the perspective of the fairies. The destruction of the world entails as much cost as creation.â
It was an interesting theory.

The separation of the soul itself is unclean.
I only knew that fairies purify the impure, but I didnât know what the standard for that impurity was.
But then I had one question.

âBut you couldnât purify Margarita.â
The life-size statue that was pieced together from the body was impure, but wasnât Margaritaâs soul intact and unable to be purified?
Han Jae-young shrugged his shoulders at my question.

âThatâs because Iâm just a half-breed fairy, so I canât use the âpurificationâ of a complete fairy⦠⦠But if itâs a complete fairy, itâs a different story.â
Han Jae-young lifted his finger and pointed at Hyun-am as he said that.
âSo, that piece of soul⦠⦠can be completely âannihilatedâ if we take it to the fairy world. Itâll probably disappear the moment it enters the fairy world without me having to ask for it, right? All kinds of fairies will flock there.â

â⦠⦠â
âIf that happens, the main body will inevitably be affected.â
In other words, Han Jae-youngâs proposal was this.

âSo letâs take it to the fairy world.â
No, wait a minute.
If we go to the fairy world like that, I have to take Hyun-am with meâ¦â¦.

âKkiyaang!â
Leo cried as if he was having a hard time.
ââ¦â¦If that happens, Iâll be purified too.â

Iâm the owner of the soul that did that thing that deserved to be purified.
For some reason, I felt a cold sweat running down my spine.
