Episode 57
* * *
A place deep in Seoraksan Mountain.
The time when fog covers the ridge like a dragon cloud and the owls start to call out one by one.
“… … Lord Ronim! This is the great Ronim!”
“Ahh… … You little shit, you’re so noisy.”
“Sir. That’s too much.”
“What’s too much? Where did you pick up that pot and boil it and eat it?”
“… … Your idioms for cursing are really getting worse by the day. You still can’t even get a 30 on basic dictation.”
“What the heck, you little brat?”
“Oh, I don’t know! Get up! The Jeonseogu is here!”
A boy monk holding a magpie’s cradle and screaming loudly.
A huge rock that looks like a wall.
Above, it was directed at Inyoung, who was lying down with her face covered by a magazine.
The cry of two clasped hands echoed through the valley.
Still, a mountain is a mountain, and water is water. A shadow that hangs still like a corpse.
The mutterings pressed into the magazine continued.
“I don’t know if you’re a Jeonseo or something. Fucking f*ck. Get out of here and f*ck it all… What a f*cking dirt spoon life… …”
“You came from Babylon!”
“……what?”
A hand that sweeps away a magazine.
The March issue of Cosmopolitan fell far away.
“where?”
“Baa, Bill, it’s Rooney!”
“… … These conscience-wasting, dirty and filthy golden spoon, no, X-rated stone spoon bastards, how dare they think this place is safe!”
Choi Da-wit, who had suddenly gotten up, shouted in the direction of Seoul, as had become his habit over the past few days.
“Of course! Did you have to take everything to feel better?”
“Here we go again… … Come down! The one the lord is looking for… … !”
WHISTLE. CLACK.
“… … That’s it.”
A giant rock about 400 meters high.
The monster landed there as if coming down a flowerbed staircase and thumped its waist, making an old man’s sound.
“A hundred-headed bird is looking for me?”
“Yes.”
“Then you should have said that first, you tight-fisted punk.”
A hand scratching its head nervously.
Thanks to the recently bleached lavender hair, her hair went from disheveled to full bob.
‘He is truly a natural person in many ways… … ‘
This woman is probably the only person in the world who wears monk’s clothes like a gangster.
As if reading the boy’s dirty thoughts, he kicked his butt.
“What are you doing? Are you talking behind my back again?”
“Oh, no.”
Phew, phew-.
The long, ringing owl cry. Choi Da-wit, who had been giggling, turned around.
‘If the owl’s hoot is loud, something bad will definitely happen.’
“… … Let’s go. Where is the white bird?”
“You are in the training center.”
“Oh my. Of course it would be like that.”
Choi David smiled and let the wind blow through his body. That was enough to get him to the main building.
“Hey. Hey. Come on.”
“Ah. Just leave me alone… … .”
A young monk staggering from motion sickness.
Choi Da-wit, who had been patted on the back, walked ahead with brisk strides.
A sacred mountain in the clouds with the sound of a waterfall and exquisite fog.
A forbidden area where ordinary people cannot enter. A place covered by barriers and formations that have been in place since the Three Kingdoms period.
Succession of the Korean Peninsula’s no-maek tradition.
Guild
The disciples who saw the elder bowed and paved the way.
“The new brain came looking for me?”
“Elder, how many times have I told you not to call me that?”
“Ah. Stop nagging. The person involved is quiet, so why are you making a fuss?”
I’m the one talking to these kids. Choi Da-wit got annoyed and went straight ahead.
As I crossed a few thresholds, the scent of orchids suddenly wafted in.
The frown between his eyebrows melted away.
“Hey, you’re a white-faced bird. White-faced bird, white-faced bird.”
Center of the hardwood floor.
A white bird sitting in meditation.
It’s like a sumi-e painting.
Choi David sat quietly a little distance away and waited. After a few minutes, a calm voice rang out.
“David.”
“uh.”
“Are all your feelings resolved?”
A low voice that contrasts with her gentle appearance.
But it looks quite suitable for the heavy seat that the woman is sitting on.
“It was just someone who wasn’t related to us. There’s no need to wear out your heart over a trivial relationship.”
“……know.”
“If you know, that’s enough.”
The owner of the
“A messenger came from the deer side. They said they would change the meeting date to 1pm tomorrow.”
“Huh.”
“It’s a rude notice, but the schedule isn’t that problematic. If you agree, I’ll go with you.”
“Oh, really? Hey, you little punk. Did you just try to appease me like that because you thought I’d say no because I hate seeing them?”
“I can’t deny it.”
“Oh my god, you cute X.”
“Watch what you say.”
“Okay, okay.”
Choi Da-wit, sitting with his legs stretched out, nodded with a chuckle. Yeah, I have to go. I’ll go.
“What good is it if the thread doesn’t follow the scales?”
“It’s not scales, it’s needles.”
“shut up.”
Guild
Confirmed attendance at the conference.

“Providing housing within the safety zone, hiring experienced workers at Sungjin headquarters, and supporting family protection programs… Is this all true?”
“We don’t put lies in contracts.”
“The deposit itself is enormous… … ”
Seoul Mo Hotel, Sky Lounge.
It was a typical course, starting with a Michelin three-star set meal. Classical melodies continued on one side.
Even this song that flows out was all carefully calculated.
For one signature to be engraved on the contract that this family is looking at right now.
Jeong Gil-ga-on continued speaking softly.
“Because he is a talented person worth it. After all, I am a businessman, so I don’t make investments without a reason.”
“Is my child really that good? They say she’s high-ranking, but she’s so ordinary… … . I’d rather my child be out of danger than worry about money. It’s not like she’s in a combat zone.”
“mom.”
“You stay still.”
“Then you should sign a contract with us even more.”
A leisurely smile.
There is a natural power to the laughter of successful celebrities.
And if it’s a world-class powerhouse, it’s twice as much.
“We are different from other guilds that form teams or groups and act aggressively and improvise amongst themselves. If we were to use an analogy, DI is a ‘company’ that is like a guild, Mother.”
“… … ”
“Systematic collaboration. That’s our character.”
“… … ”
“And I think you both know this, but I’ll explain it to you since you don’t seem to know. DI stands for Defense and Innovation.”
Defense and innovation.
“I can proudly say that there is no guild in Korea that is safer and more stable than ours.”
Ding.
In front of the elevator.
I knew you’d chase me out.
Jeong Gil-ga-on slowly took his gaze away from the watch on his wrist.
“Sir, I really, really……”
“I’m listening.”
“… … Am I really worth it? I don’t know why the rating came out like this, but I really… … .”
“Mr. Jo Yeon.”
A man who prefers to wear a T-shirt rather than a shirt under a suit.
The current 3rd ranked person in South Korea, who has heard countless times that he would be more suited to be a celebrity than a hunter.
Jeong Gil-ga-on looked down at Na Jo-yeon with his hands in his pockets.
“Don’t listen to the nonsense other people are talking about.”
“… … ”
“As an adult, you should calculate and judge based on facts. Especially when it comes to yourself.”
“… … ”
“If you don’t know the facts about Na Jo-yeon, shall I tell you?”
1. The highest rank of healer ever to appear in Korea is AA.
Two. Until yesterday, there was no AA-level healer currently playing. Therefore.
“Three. Najo Yeon is currently the only active AA-class healer.”
“ah……”
“Saint, Divine, Princess Heohae… There are world-class healers everywhere, but in this land known as the Hunter Nation, there has never been a single named healer.”
“… … ”
“Don’t you think it’s time to come out now?”
But I am.
Jeong Gil-ga-on, who was smiling, walked into the elevator.
“The 39th floor raid will begin soon. It’s the best stage to gain experience. Tomorrow, there will be a 5th guild conference for him… … .”
“… … ”
“Can I pick you up in front of your house tomorrow?”
… …
It was a small affirmation, but it was clear to the eyes of the high ranker.
The elevator doors just close.
In the hotel lobby where he came down, his only secretary was waiting for Jeong Gil-ga-on.
Jeong Gil-ga-on raised his eyebrows crookedly.
“Don’t you ask if it was successful? I sent my boss up there by myself.”
“I bet the director did a good job.”
“I don’t want to be the director of a large corporation and go around alone… … .”
“Oh, you’re kidding, I’m shy. What should I do? Find another secretary. And strictly speaking, it’s not a large company, it’s a subsidiary of a large company. You’re just trying to sneak up on me.”
“Vivian, when you talk to me, at least look at me when you talk to me.”
“I’m saying that you’re uselessly handsome and it’s burdensome.”
“How can you still be shy around your boss after working with him for over 10 years? You’re just a chat addict.”
Even though I tried to harass him, he still had his phone in one hand and a chat window in the air in the other.
Vivienne Kim (pseudonym), Matilda haircut who loves Vivienne Westwood. Currently ranked 21st in Korea.
Babel nickname is the public certificate renewal tomorrow.
“By the way, how long are you going to pretend not to know me on the channel?”
“Imagine meeting your boss at work in a chat room. How horrible would that be? Alpha, please just be Alpha.”
“ha…….”
Jeong Gil-ga-on sighed as he breathed in the night air. The car glided to a stop in front of them.
As soon as the car door opened, Vivian got in first.
Following this, Jeong Gil-ga-on gave a light remark.
“Tell them there are three seats available here tomorrow.”
“I knew you’d do well.”
“If you can’t even speak… … .”
Guild 〈DI〉
Confirmed attendance at the conference.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
