City of Backstreet Nymphs

Chapter 89

89 – 089 – A new family! # 5

089 – A new family! #5

“Everyone is trying to come like this… !”

Illinois made a fuss.

Wondering what the hell was going on, I approached and Illinois pointed at the flowers.

“It’s only here that white flowers bloom… ! That Illinois can know that this is a message of something… !”

“Really? Are white flowers really blooming only here?”

The 「Flower of Truth」 Mentioned by Lee Jin-ah was a flower with five red petals. However, sparse white flowers bloomed where Illinois pointed.

It’s amazing-.

I thought so, but Lee Jin-ah picked some flowers and put them in a bag, she said indifferently.

“I looked at it a lot, but it didn’t seem to mean anything. They are just white flowers.”

Does that mean it’s not a hint?

However, Illinois clicked his tongue.

“It may look that way to ordinary people, but it looks different to us nymphs… ! This means that the language of fairies is clear… !”

The language of fairies?

It was a story that intrigued me.

Shut-.

Illinois taking a smartphone out of a bag and lifting it up.

“Muhh, that Illinois has this smart phone as a great means of communication… ! But most of the nymphs didn’t have a smartphone… !”

Chojal jjal-.

Illinois has taught us how fairies without cellphones communicate.

“Since ancient times, nymphs have left messages by tearing off flower petals or breaking tree branches… ! This is the Morse code of the fairies, let’s talk about it… !”

Morse code!

At the description of Illinois, I started to see these white flowers again.

So what do these white flowers mean?

“I think you can understand this garden itself if you look at it from a very high place… ! If you look at the white flowers planted at a high place at a glance, that Illinois will interpret it… !”

This underground garden was very large and had a very high ceiling.

It was said that in order to see this place at a glance, you had to climb to an extremely high altitude.

“hehehe, I knew this would happen and I brought the drone.”

I was an Awakener who was ready anytime, anywhere.

Carrying various equipment when traveling through a rift is the basic of the basics.

It was for this moment that I struggled to climb the mountain with heavy luggage.

Knock-. Kirik, Kirik-.

I opened the bag, took out the drone, and launched the drone through the controller.

Booooong-.

A drone soaring into the sky.

But a problem arose.

Something popped out and shot down the drone!

It was a beam of light emitted from a glowstone hanging from the ceiling.

There must be a trap in this flower garden too!

“Is it true? My drone! I bought it for more than 5 million won!”

I was angry.

Right next to me, Ari was equally angry.

“How dare you shoot down your drone! I can’t forgive you! It seems to be a trap that shoots down objects that cross a certain altitude!”

Ari is now in a state of being very candid under the influence of 「Flower of Truth」.

She is very candid and sympathizes with my drone being destroyed.

“What can I do? There is only one drone.”

Shut-.

My eyes were looking at the tiger owl, Kalinoi, as I spoke with such a regretful feeling.

I wish I could ride on the back of Kalinoi and take a picture overlooking the garden.

Poof-!

However, Kalinoi turned her head away, perhaps trying to avoid my gaze.

She was such a miser.

“Well, well, Kali Noi can’t fly because her wings are damaged. Since it is a place where traps are set, you can get seriously injured again. I can’t help it.”

The Kalinoi could not fly longer than 10 seconds.

She was recovering from a broken wing.

In the meantime, flying while avoiding laser traps may have been impossible in the first place.

Pot-.

It was then.

Kalinoy spread his wings and leaped into the air, clutching my shoulders with his strong legs.

“What-.”

I really had to feel like a squirrel being hunted by an owl.

A tiger owl, Kalinoi, leaps into the air in an instant.

Pishun-.

Lasers were fired at the Kalinoi, but it didn’t seem to even hurt the Kalinoi’s strong feathers.

“Now!”

I took a cell phone out of my pocket and took a picture of the flower garden and put it on one screen.

At the same time, Kalinoi landed on the floor flapping its wings uneasy.

-…….

Kalinoi puts me down and spreads his wings left and right.

It was as if he was boasting, “Do you think I can’t do it even after this?”

It was impossible for me to fly towards Kalinois—it seems to have hurt my pride quite a bit.

That’s right.

Anyway!

I showed the picture well to Illinois.

Illinois looked at my phone carefully and said.

“I see, now that this garden is a tomb… ! What these white flowers are conveying is affection, remembrance and longing… ! It’s such a feeling… !”

I’ve felt this since the days of Oinoi, but indeed, nymphs are amazing.

Breaking the curse or solving these hidden messages.

“Illinois, that’s great.”

“Muhuh, it’s okay to praise more intensely… !”

“Awesome!”

Suk-.

I patted Illinois on the head, which is what nymphs like to do.

Swish, snooze-.

Illinois straightened his shoulders, probably in a very good mood.

Then, Kalinoi pounced on me with his wings.

“Do you want me to praise you too? Good job. Thanks for taking the picture.”

Suk-.

I also stroked Kalinoi’s head, chin and wings.

Of course, after about 5 seconds, Kalinoi swooped away from me.

He was very miserable.

Anyway.

Illinois interpreted the patterns of the flowers shown in the photos.

“That Illinois can also know that this is the tomb where a god named Baldur is buried… ! These flowers are the flowers Neff’s daughter commemorates Baldur of Light… !”

Baldur was a familiar name to me too.

The last time Jinah Lee and Yuari were together, the Sejong City fixed crack was also Baldur’s temple.

I heard that he is the god of the elves and symbolizes ‘light’.

The god Baldur died and winter came to the elves’ hometown.

“———.”

Illinois recited a strange spell.

It seemed to be the language of fairies that I could not understand.

Then, the ground started to vibrate, and then a staircase leading to the basement appeared in the center of the flower garden.

# # #

When people think of underground stairs, they usually imagine something dark and gloomy.

The underground stairs under this flower garden were planted with very beautiful flowers and were brightly lit like the Garden of Eden.

It smelled good, and the floor was covered with grass, so it was soft to walk on.

After walking for a long time, the door appeared.

It was a door decorated with flowers, said Illinois when I thought the pattern was unusual.

“This seems to be the door of truth… ! It is a gate through which the unclean cannot enter. ! It means that those who lie cannot enter. !”

A door that liars cannot enter?

It was amazing.

I approached the door, and the flowers grew rapidly, tying and restraining my legs so I couldn’t move. When I step back, it slides again – the flowers that relieve my legs.

It was very strange.

“It’s amazing.”

It was the same with Jinah Lee and Illinois.

Only Yuari could approach this gate, but it was very strange.

Ari said.

“Why is it that only I can enter? I must have been the most virtuous of men! That I was the most sincere person! Now I am an honest person!”

Unusually making a fuss was fun.

It must be because of the effect of eating the 「Flower of Truth」.

“Wait.”

I was struck by something.

Then, he took out the 「Flower of Truth」 From Lee Jin-ah’s bag.

“What are you going to do?”

Lee Jin-ah frowns and looks at me.

I just smelled the flowers.

When I felt like I was going to faint from the fragrant smell, I went towards the door again.

“Look. Don’t wrap your legs The fact that only sincere people can pass through this gate means that only those who have smelled this flower can pass through.”

I thought it was fun because it was like a puzzle.

However, Ahri was stunned.

“Yeah, that can’t be… ! I thought I was the most honest and sincere person, but it was because of the flowers… ! Very disappointing… !”

“I see.”

“So, senior. How do you feel? Senior has become a body that cannot lie! You are saying that now you have to tell only the truth!”

How do you feel?

I don’t think there’s much difference.

“Let’s go through the door. There must be something great.”

Shut-.

I passed through a door planted with flowers.

Then I saw something that could be called a statue standing inside.

It was a statue of a woman and a man holding hands, and it was nice that flowers were beautifully decorated around it.

“Pretty.”

Ari said.

Actually, as Ari said, the female statue was very beautiful.

Soon Mheh-Smiling IL.

“Neff’s daughter, Nanna, seems to be the goddess of flowers in a foreign land… ! The flower goddess is a woman who meets Kore’s requirements…. It’s natural to be beautiful… !”

That’s right.

To be honest, I didn’t understand what they were talking about, but I could tell that this was a statue of Nanna, the goddess of flowers. Then, is the man next to him Baldur, the god of light?

“I can’t recognize her face.”

The face of the new male statue was worn-out, so it would be better to describe it.

His eyes, nose, and mouth were worn out.

Shut-.

Lee Jin-ah came to me before I knew it.

The guy touched the face of the statue with the palm of his hand.

“I touched my face too much and it was worn out. I feel a lot of longing and sadness in this place.”

“Look at this!”

From noble mtl dot com

Yuari screaming.

Turning her head, she saw that there was something like a foundation in front of the statue, and something was placed on top of it.

“It’s a ring! It is shining gold!”

As Yuari said, a ring was visible on the foundation.

It was very beautiful with flowers embossed on the gold border.

Since it is a ring placed in a place like this, it must not be a simple object.

Shut-.

As I stretched out my hand toward the ring, the flowers around me withered and crumbled in an instant. Seeing that, Illinois said.

“It is a ring that can make flowers bloom… ! It seems to be an artifact imbued with the power of Nanna, the goddess of flowers… ! It’s a very nice ring… !”

I could see that it was a wonderful thing.

Soon Yuari was greatly impressed.

“When it comes to relics, I mean treasures with great power, like 「Gungnir」. I think I know that this ring holds great power! Take it out and it will be awesome!”

Artifact.

A great treasure that is said to be usable by S-class Awakeners.

She was delighted to have found it—but that joy soon turned to bewilderment.

Sssss-.

Something huge was crouching on the ground where the flowers withered and scattered.

It had a long, broad body with countless legs.

Multi-various multi-dimensional -.

A gigantic centipede—something like that emerged from among the wilted flowers and roots. Its body was so long that it looked like a giant snake or dragon.

Are you the guardian of this flower garden!?

ㅁKaaa!

What he was aiming for was Kalinoi, the biggest owl among us.

Kalinoi flapped his wings, but he couldn’t fly easily due to his injured jaw.

-Whoop, whoop… !

“Dangerous!”

I reflexively jumped between Kalinoi and the giant centipede.

Pot-!

As if I had been run over by a running subway, a great pain ran through my body.

But it was bearable.

“Kuh-. Sick. Damn. Where is the centipede suddenly popping out? Was it sealed between the roots and then able to move… !?”

Looking at the torn suit on my thighs, I looked like at least an A-class monster.
