00318 Reunion %26 Return ———————————————- —————————=
On my way back, I occasionally checked on the condition of the tramps. Now, a cold current was flowing between the remaining seven people.
The potion given to Baek Seo-yeon contained exactly enough to save two people. And the users she chose were her confidants Lee Ga-in and Lee Hae-in.
What did Jeong Hyun-woo and Shin A-young think as they died? And how did the remaining tramps feel as they watched it?
The correct answer has come out. In the end, after that night, everyone except Baek Seo-yeon and the two people she saved expressed their wish to convert. And, Baek Seo-yeon’s momentum was clearly broken. No matter how harsh she was, her game that day was memorable, and she consistently showed a dark expression throughout.
At first, users seemed to find it strange that the number of vagabonds had decreased. But the priest must have been good at what he said, and soon he did what I wanted.
One thing that has changed since then is that users’ harassment has focused on Baek Seo-yeon and her henchmen. It is difficult to say that the remaining four were treated well, but the bullying was significantly reduced compared to before, and food and water were distributed normally.
And now, we were walking along the road, maintaining our own pace. We were able to leave the grassland following the forest three days ago. The area that followed the grassy field filled with bushes was a barren field. In contrast to the grassland, a rough and lonely landscape without a single blade of grass was visible before my eyes.
Although it was no different from a grassland in that it was open in all directions, I felt a little relieved after entering the sandy field. Since this was a place I clearly remembered, I was able to get my bearings just like before. So, I pushed forward without any necessary breaks, and as a result, I was able to reach the so-called ‘King’s Tomb’, the midpoint of the field, faster than expected.
“wow.”
“Wow. Wow.”
Ansol, the assassin girl, and Gu Ye-ji were constantly amazed as they looked at the excavated ruins. The king’s tomb basically has a structure similar to a pentagram (a five-pointed star symbolizing sacredness), and the sanctuary towering in the center had the grandeur of a pyramid.
Ansol discussed something with Goo Ye-ji for a while and then quickly ran towards me. She then asked me a question with a question mark floating around her head.
“Brother. Brother. I have a question.”
“huh. “What are you curious about?”
“This is the king’s tomb that you discovered. By the way. “It’s so big, why hasn’t it been discovered until now?”
“ah. It’s simple. Do you remember when you discovered Vivien’s dungeon before?”
When asked the question in reverse, Ansol blinked for a moment. But she seemed to have found the answer, as the question mark soon changed into an exclamation point. She responded by clapping her hands together to make a sound.
“ah! “It’s a career barrier!”
“yes. As expected, you are smart. “But how did you know that you discovered the king’s tomb?”
When I asked him while stroking his head, Ansol answered with a wry look on his face as he twisted his body.
“lol. Also, you’re smart… . From a record I happened to read while sneaking into my brother’s room… . Hehehe.”
“huh? what?”
For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.
Now that I think about it, things that were in my office have been disappearing from time to time. But I didn’t think it was that strange. To be honest, I thought Go Yeon-ju cleaned it up because it was like a cup of tea that was already consumed.
When I glanced around, I saw Ansol completely frozen. “I’m embarrassed” was clearly written on her face.
“Uh, my dear.”
“Ansol. You this guy… .”
When he spoke in a stern voice, Ansol pursed his lips like a scorpion. It was an action that showed her resolute will to remain silent. Anyway, it was a moment when I was taking one step closer to the idea of using this opportunity to scold him and change his habits.
“Su-hyun.”
It was then. I heard Go Yeon-ju’s voice calling me. She stopped walking and turned her head this way and that.
“What happen?”
“Now, just a moment.”
Ko Yeon-joo looked unusually serious. She signaled everyone to stop, and she stared to one side, clearly nervous. I immediately used my magic power to raise my senses, and activated Detection and Occupy at the same time in the direction that Go Yeonju was looking.
Thing!
‘huh?’
At that moment, the presence of powerful magical power was felt within the widest possible range. The force was so explosive that I could feel a slight tingling sensation in my body even though I was a little far away.
“Go Yeon-ju. “Direction and distance.”
“The direction seems to be coming from a bit east… . No, it’s almost similar. It’s not quite the same, but you’ll definitely come across it along this path. I can’t accurately estimate the distance yet, but if it’s this powerful magical power… . Maybe soon… .”
“… … .”
“What should I do? “Life is too difficult to just think comfortably like this.”
I was lost in thought at Go Yeon-ju’s words. The reason I chose this route was because it was the quickest route to Eden. Moreover, I understand that the King’s Tomb has already been conquered and stabilization has progressed to some extent. So I guessed that it wouldn’t be too dangerous, but my expectations were wrong.
Of course, other users may also use this route, but the current situation is in disarray and the feeling of life is too strong to just ignore it.
‘No, wait a minute. This magical power… .’
I was about to instruct battle preparations in case of an unexpected situation, but I lowered my hand when I felt a familiar feeling of magical power. And I opened my mouth to the users, praying in my heart that it was not true.
“First, I will move in the direction where I can feel the magic. “I will take the lead, but unexpected situations may arise, so please make your own preparations.”
After saying that, I quickly walked in the direction where I felt the magic.
“sister. Thank you… .”
“Yes?”
Suddenly, I heard Ansol sighing in relief behind me.
I think I walked at a brisk pace like that for about 20 minutes. It was around the time when I felt that the magical power and the intensity of the deadly force felt on my skin was gradually becoming stronger.
I began to see with the naked eye that someone was running using wind magic, and rough dust was swirling in front of me. I stopped walking and quietly looked at the center of the dust. Then, as expected, I was able to confirm that someone was running at a tremendous speed.
‘I really can’t survive.’
After sharpening my eyes and confirming the identity of that ‘someone’, I sighed deeply. I hoped it wasn’t like that… .
Eventually, the moment the hero who created the dust came into the vicinity, I quietly raised my hand. He glanced at me once and then passed by, waving in the wind. And the moment I counted exactly 3 seconds in my head, the sound of magic rubbing against the ground rang out from behind me.
“Soo, Suhyeon?”
“… Huyu.”
At that moment, the life that had been tingling my skin just moments ago disappeared in an instant.
“Suhyeon? Soohyun!”
“… uh.”
The main character of Dust was my older brother, Kim Yu-hyeon. I hoped he wouldn’t, but he cruelly shattered my expectations.
“Suhyun… !”
“Hyung, wait a minute.”
It looked like he was going to run up to me and hug me at any moment, so I stopped him in advance.
“My body is fine. No injuries anywhere. So first, please lower your open arms first.”
“uh? Uh, uh.”
There were many eyes watching. I wanted to prevent the rumor that “Kim Yoo-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun have a brother complex” from spreading. My brother made a hesitant gesture for a moment and then obediently lowered his left arm.
“Your right arm too.”
“… … .”
‘You don’t think I know you’re trying to pat my head again?’
Perhaps feeling embarrassed by the cold response, my brother slowly lowered his right arm. However, the way he looked at my head with such deep regret made me wonder if it had been coated with honey.
Eventually, while everyone was watching, my brother and I slowly shortened the distance.
“Suhyun. Are you hurt anywhere? huh?”
“huh. “Other than being a little tired, I’m feeling fine.”
“After a while… . thank god. “So you’re coming from Mule?”
“that’s right. “But what are you doing here?”
I wasn’t particularly looking for an answer. Since I already had an idea, I glared at my brother sharply. And my brother must have sensed the thorn in my tone, so he quickly averted his gaze and cleared his throat.
“Suhyun. What do you say like that? sad. You said you were going to Mule… . But something happened, and I was worried about my younger brother… .”
“under… . So, it’s a good thing you came here alone without any plan.”
“no. That’s not it… .”
“Why don’t you be quiet?”
When I raised my voice in frustration, my brother scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
What if Go Yeon-ju didn’t notice the magical power? And what if my brother didn’t know that I was coming back, and our paths diverged and he ended up in Mule?
It was terrible to even think about it. Perhaps he might have sent his brother off like this without the reward of returning for the second round.
After glaring at my brother for a while, I closed my eyes with a deep sigh. And I calmed my pounding heart by taking deep breaths. I just felt like it was all my fault. This would not have happened if at least a crystal ball for long-distance communication had been provided.
“Do you have a mind or not? Do you know how many thousands of people are there? But what are you going to do when you come alone? .”
“haha… . Soohyun. “I didn’t come alone.”
When I opened my eyes to see what he was talking about, I saw my brother pointing in one direction.
There, a group of users were running in a hurry.
*
“Huff, huff, huff, huff!”
“Hak, Hak, Hak, Hak!”
The users who succeeded in escaping were looking awkwardly at the users who were lying on the floor and out of breath. Some of the users’ faces turned blue as they ran so fast. To someone who didn’t know the situation, we would have looked like a rescue team.
I was equally embarrassed. It was true that his brother didn’t come alone. The number of people immediately visible included most of the Mercenary Clan members, Hamill Clan members, and even the Han Clan’s Clan Lord Seong Hyeon-min.
“Oh, brother?”
“Huh, huh! So, Sol! Tongue, bro! “Huh, huh!”
As Ansol ran away with his eyes wide open, Anhyeon barely responded and started panting again. He opened his eyes once again and looked back at his brother, but before he knew it, his brother was looking at the distant mountains.
I sighed again and walked over to the clan members who were on the floor. There were many users, but the people who caught my eye next to my brother were the clan members.
I walked over to the woman with light blue hair who was bending her back and spitting calmly. Eventually, she must have sensed that I was approaching, so she quickly cleared the corners of her mouth and raised her head. The woman’s identity was Jeong Ha-yeon.
“… Are you okay?”
“Hak, Hak! It’s okay, it’s okay. Crane, crane!”
“… … .”
“crane! But, why do I think the question has been reversed? crane!”
Even though everyone was out of breath, light laughter broke out here and there, as if they had heard Jeong Ha-yeon’s words.
I looked back at my clan members, feeling a little embarrassed. The faces of everyone except the baby unicorn were visible.
There was a look of exhaustion on everyone’s face, but there was also an expression of relief when they looked at me. In particular, Lee Yoo-jeong kept biting her mouth as if she wanted to say something. However, it seemed like her throat was choking and she was just wiping her eyes and making loud noises one after another.
To be honest, there were some aspects that I didn’t quite understand. Even though my brother likes me, it was unexpected that they even came running to save me.
In any case, the reason they are looking so tired now may be because all the tension they have been suppressing has been released all at once. While wondering what on earth I should say to my clan members, I ended up calmly saying something.
“everyone… . Why did you come? “It must have been a hassle.”
“Su-hyun. Where is that saying? He is our clan lord and our clan member, so I came because I was worried. “Once I confirmed that he was alive, I couldn’t just wait.”
“… “You confirmed that I’m alive?”
“yes. “I was able to find out thanks to Vivien.”
Jeong Ha-yeon must have barely caught her breath and regained her natural voice. Soon she looked at Vivian and, as if the cells that made her feel ashamed had degenerated, she could see a single female alchemist lying on her floor in a large posture.
Vivien must have heard what she was saying, but she turned her head slightly to the side while lying down. Then he made eye contact with me and c*ckily nodded his head once, then searched inside his chest and pulled out a record the size of his A4 paper.
That was the (subordinate slave) contract between me and Vivien.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
oh my. It’s hot today too. I wonder when the weather will get cooler.
Actually, I’m revealing this now, but when I created the character Kim Soo-hyun, there was a character I chose as a motif. This is the character Lee Won-sul in the movie Public Enemy Kang Cheol-joong. At that time, Cheol-jung and Lee Won-sul met in the orchard, and I vaguely remember what Cheol-jung said. I don’t remember exactly, but “You show only good things to your children and only do good things(?), but you treat other people’s children the same way?” I think it was roughly like this. haha. I really enjoyed it, so I recommend it to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet! 😀
『Reripple』
1. Separation of powers: Congratulations on first place. As you said, you took first place with speed. haha. 🙂
2. Blamy: Oh my. For as long as 5 days… . Where have you been… . Sobbing. ah. I once gave a brief answer to someone who asked the same question on ReRipple, but I think it would take too long to explain everything about bums here. hmm. There are many reasons. And rather than simply dividing it into users and vagabonds, you can segment it even further. To explain it properly, the ‘origin’ of the tramp’s creation and its current ‘origin’… . hmm. This is a spoiler, so I’ll keep it a secret. haha. We will add more information as the story progresses. 🙂
3. Usain Bolt: Thank you for the coupon. _(__)_ I will try harder in the future.
4. Ethersion: Yes. All right. You will probably be able to see Soo-hyun and his group complete their return around the next episode. haha. There are a lot of interesting things left. 🙂
5. Yuun [流雲]: Modification completed. thank you
6. Myeongbakjjang’s combination of both yang and yang: No. I am neither gay nor female. He is simply a man with a sound view of the opposite s*x. Please believe me. please. ㅜ.ㅠ
7. Akitsuki: It is said that humans are originally animals of self-justification. I’ve been like that too. A lot of that is reflected in Memorize. If I do it, it’s romance, if someone else does it, it’s adultery.
8. Choyo: Thank you for your comment. I hope you always end your day in a good mood by reading my novel. 🙂
9. zjekfksqlc: I got full credits this time, is it really that difficult? I’ve never experienced anything like this before, so I’m not sure. ㅜ.ㅠ
10. hohokoya1: Thank you. I will do my best to get all the credits and novels! 😀
Thank you for always reading. Your recommendations and comments are of great help.
I hope you can always read my writing with a comfortable mind.
Selection, recommendations, comments, criticism, and questions are always welcome.
fantasy,
