Certainly [mystery] is a symbol of faith in this world.
As soon as he presented the uncertain evidence of sorcery, prophecy, etc., even the skeptical knights of Galahad were convinced and followed him.
It was something that was difficult to understand with my own emotions… .
It was the sudden birth of a team, and although I should have been reluctant to accept it, I had no choice but to admit it less than 10 minutes after the team was formed.
‘What are these guys like?’
… I hate to admit it, but if this is a group project and they are group members, there is no one as talented as me. So… .
They were so excellent that it was absurd to think that they were not the kind of dedicated crew members you only see once in a hundred years.
“Based on Lionel’s research over the past several hundred years, the
“You figured that out, didn’t you?”
“Lionel has many ancient books from the past. Our scholars had a hard time finding out.”
“You figured it out in a similar way to us. So, where is the place, and do you have the key to get in?”
“I found out the location, but I don’t know the key. In that sense, it’s fortunate. Even if I don’t have the key, I still have your ‘third eye’.”
“… You fucking know so much.”
“Haha, this is also something the sorcerer taught me.”
“When you return to your family, raise the alert level for Lionel by two more levels.”
“Oh my, this is scary.”
He doesn’t have to do anything.
Because they just beat the drums and janggu and figure out everything for themselves.
‘Wow, is this what it feels like to be a newbie following behind high-level users?’
There was nothing for Lee Han to do, including avoiding angry priests and nuns, finding his way, or searching for holy relics.
It may be because they have different personalities, but they are really capable people.
… Sometimes it’s a problem because it makes you sick or because you have a fiery personality.
He’s a truly amazing talent, but his personality dilutes all his strengths.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“what?”
“I think I gave you a strange look….”
“It’s my eyes, so I can open them or not as I please.”
“Hmm.”
“… … .”
…a guy with quick wit.
He has a mysterious skill called the third eye, so his perception is incredibly sharp.
‘I can’t even curse inwardly.’
Scary guy.
“You’re having strange thoughts again. If you have the time to think of something else like that, let’s explore together.”
“quest?”
“As you may have heard, the sacred treasure where the relics are is a subspace warehouse. It exists in the Great Hall, but it does not exist. And we must find the sacred treasure.”
“That gentleman knows?”
“I know, but I only know the general area. I guess it’s roughly around the hill we’re on right now.”
“It’s too rough….”
Daesinjeon is a natural fortress carved into a mountain.
As a result, in addition to the temple buildings, there were also forests, hills, and cliffs.
For example, you can think of it as a temple built on a mountain.
The temple occupies less than 40% of the area, and the rest is an environment where plants and animals live?

So, just looking at the hill that Maximus roughly pointed to, it was obvious that it was difficult.
As if he was wondering when he would ever finish searching this vast place and fall down.
“I guess I’ll have to search for a while.”
“I’m sorry, I thought I’d see it right away if I just looked for the hill, but it’s actually so big, haha.”
“…Is that an excuse?”
Maximus and Lark were arguing again.
I’ve thought about it since we first met, but somehow it doesn’t seem like we’re on good terms.
In particular, that gentleman Maximus seems to be showing more fighting spirit strangely. Are Lionel and Galahad originally like enemies?
“It’s not my interest if we’re on bad terms… It’s a strange place, hmm, I think I found it?”
“??”
“…what?”
They were momentarily taken aback by Lee Han’s indifferent answer.
I was wondering how I could find the entrance in this vast garden.
But this is Lee Han.
“Over there, that tree. I think that’s the entrance.”
“… … ?”
They just tilted their heads in bewilderment at his confident answer, and Lee Han shrugged.
“Check it out.”
“… … .”
Soon, Lark was walking towards the direction where the young tree that Lee Han had pointed to was, with light movements like a flying squirrel, and not even a minute later-.
“… … You? How on earth did you not know?”
I really found the ‘entrance’.
Lark asked with an expression of disbelief, and Yihan asked back.
“Isn’t this called echolocation?”
“??”
“It’s okay if you don’t know.”
Since it would be a pain in the butt to explain, Lee Han advised him to just ignore it.
The important thing is.
“The important thing is that you found it.”
Wouldn’t everything be fine if the results were better than the process?
* * *
Galahad had been devoted to embodying the mysteries for a long time, as if they were techniques like martial arts or swordsmanship, and he named these arts that embodied the mysteries as ‘mysterious arts’.
And it is said that even if you only had the talent to learn one of these mystical arts, you could be called a genius, and that in the history of Galahad, there was no one who learned more than two mystical arts.
That’s what I meant by it being that difficult.
However, in this day and age, there was a knight who not only mastered over seven mysterious arts of incredible difficulty, but also created his own mysterious art called the ‘Third Eye’, and that man was…
“Wow, your eyes are really turning red?”
“It would be comfortable at night if I had that.”
“… … Be quiet, you thugs.”
Lac de Duron.
He was the contemporary champion of Galahad.
The Third Eye was a complex art that he had mastered, investing in five of the seven mystical arts he had mastered.
An eye that destroys the opponent’s strength, the flow and gaps of space, and even magic.
Well, since the Third Eye itself is a mystical art that only Lachman has successfully mastered, there are likely to be even more powers that have yet to be discovered, aside from those mentioned.
And while it was amazing that Lark had mastered these powers, Lark had gone one step further and had properly learned how to use his eyes.
Crunch.
“It’s a mix of ancient laws. But that’s fortunate. It shouldn’t be difficult to do something like this.”
“What is that?”
“This is an artifact created by the combined efforts of the clan’s wizards and sorcerers. It is a useful tool for deciphering mysteries.”
“… It looks exactly like a thief’s tool for opening doors?”
“Ahem.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“… Keep your mouth shut. Don’t lose focus for no reason.”
Tools that are commonly categorized as lock picks or locksmiths, which are cheap to use, or lockpicks or lock-breaking tools, which are more sophisticated, move quickly.
A feast of fantastic techniques that only technicians with specialized knowledge of magic and sacred law can achieve.
It was a mysterious sight that made me think it might be the so-called [Dispel Show].
‘He’s also talented.’
However, to the eyes of an outsider who knew nothing about it, it was just a confusing sight.
It seems great, but I have no idea exactly what it does.
But one thing is clear: if it weren’t for Lark, even if he found the entrance, he would never have been able to get in.
‘Is this why there are thieves in adventurer parties?’
It would be an essential occupation to infiltrate such a special place.
When you see something progressing steadily as if striking a bonfire.
“Hmm, that’s disturbing.”
“…suddenly?”
“Ah. I’m sorry, my friend. I have a habit of saying things out loud.”
“Stop that damn thing, please.”
“Haha, we’re friends.”
“… … plague.”
Lee Han turned his gaze to Maximus, who suddenly made an ominous remark.
What is so disturbing?
“Hmm, aren’t things going too smoothly?”
“… … .”
“Oh, you quickly empathize with me.”
“… It’s unpleasant that our thoughts overlap, but when I think about it, it’s not so good that things are going well.”
My fingertips are numb.
A different kind of pain than the pain that comes from an injury.
It is a pain similar to phantom pain that comes from experience.
‘Has anything in my life ever been solved easily?’
They say that you should cross a stone bridge by knocking on it, but that’s just a proverb. No one truly crosses a stone bridge by knocking on it.
Because there is no case where a stone bridge suddenly collapses while you are walking.
But Lee Han’s life was like that.
A life that is extremely dangerous, where a stone bridge suddenly collapses while you are walking.
He lived a life where he had to knock on the bridge he had to cross no matter what happened, and even if he crossed the stone bridge, there was always a crisis waiting for him.
Is that why?
As things went smoothly as Maximus had said, Lee Han began to feel discontented.
‘There’s no way what I’m doing will be safe?’
Firm faith.
With the confidence that he could not possibly be so lucky, Lee Han tightly rigged the two swords, three daggers, and one-handed buckler-shaped shield he had looted from the half-demon guys.
As if this were a lifeline.
“What a mess, you fell over.”
Lark, who was working, gave him a reproachful look as if telling him to stop making such nonsense, but Lee Han was serious.
“You too, get ready, because if you rush in here, an accident will definitely happen.”
“… … .”
“Oh, I said, trust me!”
“Heh heh, brother, then you have the option of not going in, so why do you want to go in?”
“I told you not to call me friend, now we’re like brothers?”
Maximus’s sudden question.
Maximus asked as if he was really curious as to why they kept trying to go in even though he clearly knew it was dangerous, and Lee Han answered properly even though he was annoyed by the title of brother.
“Even if you avoid it now, sooner or later, you’ll have to deal with it later anyway. It’s useless to avoid it, anyway.”
“… … .”
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Haha, brother, it’s really a shame you weren’t born a northerner! Instead of running away for immediate comfort, you chose to fight! Ah! That’s what a warrior should do!! This is a northerner’s choice more than anyone else…!”
“… … .”
Why is it that I don’t feel happy at all even though I’m clearly receiving compliments?
‘I feel like I’m being cursed at when I hear this guy say I’m a northerner…’
It was an extremely awkward moment, and Lee Han tried to open his mouth to say something.
Hwaaaaah!
… The conversation became meaningless in the face of the blazing sunlight.
“Go in quickly, you can hold it for 5 seconds.”
“…Turn on your blinkers.”
Lee Han flew straight away, striking.
Without any hesitation… .
and-.

“-Lee Han-ah, you said you were going to drive a stake?”
… … Regret also came quickly.
“… … .”
“Child, think again. There’s nothing good that comes from driving a stake in!”
“… Brother Dokgo?”
“Brother? This kid, even though he doesn’t have much time left until his discharge, he’s not really a brother in the military, Inma.”
“Are you really Dokgo hyung? Dokgo Gupae?”
“… … I told you not to call me by my full name!”
“…Wow, it’s real.”
Lee Han blinked and looked around.
There were no beds, just yellow floorboards where the soldiers had to sleep huddled together, and rusty and diseased water pipes.
And even water jugs and old supplies used during the Korean War.
and….
‘This gentleman, he had hair in this era… .’
Lee Han blinked blankly as he watched his old superior, who seemed like he would use the Dokgo Gupae and Dokgo Gugeom, but could barely even boil ramen, let alone wield a sword.
I prepared for the crisis, but… .
‘Surely I have to go through the NCO life again?’
Brrrrrr… .
The knight, who was confident that he would not be afraid even in the face of hundreds, if not tens of thousands of monsters, trembled in fear.
I would have rather spent two years as a soldier, not a remake of a non-commissioned officer…
