00325 The future is distorted. ————————————————– ———————-=
Her skin was as pale and white as if it had been coated with milk, and it was shining even more dazzlingly under the bright light shining from the moon.
The woman in the pavilion stares at me with eyes filled with blue moonlight. I also looked straight at her. Soon, the woman’s beautiful eyelids quickly moved up and down three or four times.
After looking at each other and swallowing the silence that had come, I calmly sat down in front of the woman.
As expected, the woman’s identity was Lee Hyo-eul. She was showing an expression of extreme embarrassment that did not match her calm appearance. As she quietly studied her face, for a moment, an eerie energy ran down her spine. Although her expression did not feel fake, her eyes were as cold as ice.
‘That’s interesting. Still, I guess I took my time.’
After all, the guardians of the Northern Continent are probably users who have experienced hardships of their own.

‘You’ve recovered a bit.’
I recalled Lee Hyo-eul’s user information and calmed my mind so as not to let down my guard.
“No, that’s ridiculous. What the hell are you… .”
Lee Hyo-eul stuttered, still unable to erase her embarrassment. I slowly took out a piece of tobacco from my pocket and put it in my mouth. Light it with a sparkling stone and then take a deep sip. Then he exhaled a long puff of smoke and opened his mouth in a calm tone.
“okay. I heard she wanted to talk… . “What business do I have when angels scold me?”
The smoke that came out of the mouth spread out like a dance, drawing a deformed shape. And when the smoke completely dissolved into the air, Lee Hyo-eul’s face, which had been hidden by the blurry gas, was revealed again. The feeling of embarrassment that had colored my face just moments ago had disappeared like melting snow.
Soon, Lee Hyo-eul smiled softly. Her eyes curved in a soft curve, and her pretty pink lips drew a thin line.
“What does that mean… ?”
Lee Hyo-eul muttered in a high-pitched voice. His voice is much more refined than before, and he no longer stutters. She had a rough idea of why she had come to see me. That’s why I wanted to refuse the tiresome work of pushing and pulling each other. So, I intentionally threw a fastball from the start.
“There is no need to pretend to be surprised or unaware. Let’s go.”
“Ho Ho. Are you saying this coldly because you’re worried that someone might think you’re Kim Yoo-hyun’s younger sister? Also, could you please stop calling me that since I was taunting you earlier? “I feel bad hearing it.”
I laughed dryly at Lee Hyo-eul’s witty answer. She swept her hair back with both hands and then continued by rubbing the back of her head until it made a noise.
“Why is my head so complicated… . Ugh. Anyway, first I should thank you for saving my life. thank you. Of course, I don’t like it when people call me informally and informally, but since I’m a benefactor, I’ll just ignore it.”
“You spoke informally first, and it’s true that you followed suit.”
Strictly speaking, it could be seen that all users, including Lee Hyo-eul, were single. However, there is only a difference in degree. But I didn’t bother to say this out loud. I wanted to save words on this part. I know something about the Northern Continent’s guardian, but I don’t know the extent of her access rights.
“… “You speak so obnoxiously.”
“Anyway, I’d like you to stop talking nonsense and get to the point.”
Lee Hyo-eul rolled her eyes to the side for a moment and glanced at me, but nodded as if she agreed to get to the point.
“Then I’ll ask you again. “Why did you ask to see me?”
“That’s simple. I called because I was curious. I’ve been hearing you talk a lot lately, so I was really curious who you were. No, I thought it was strange from the very beginning when I saw Mule’s promotional records? So I called him over and tried to take a look… .”
“… … .”
“Don’t look at me like that. You seem to know something about me, but honestly, how could you not be curious about me? Don’t they excavate ruins every month? Aren’t clan members plastered with secrets and rares? You know that I am the guardian of the northern continent, right? Doesn’t he show inaction that is unbecoming of a user with 0 years of experience? Even if you ask the angels, they will say something like Tanay and say they don’t know because they don’t have access to them, and instead, they will tell you to be friendly and help them as much as possible. “Wouldn’t you be curious in a situation like this?”
As expected, it seemed like he didn’t just show up here. It is clear that he did his own research on me in advance. Of course, it doesn’t look like much was saved. I flicked the burned-out tobacco and shrugged my shoulders.
“The angels didn’t tell you, so you think I will tell you?”
“I have thought of many ways. First, I tried to find out about you using my unique abilities and pretend to have something by revealing that you were the guardian of the Northern Continent. And I tried to gently flirt… . Did you know that your unique ability was overlooked by your unknown abilities and that you were a guardian? Now that I think about it, what is the identity of your abilities? How was it possible to block a Guardian-only ability?”
As honest as she was, she was also very curious. Of course, Lee Hyo-eul’s curiosity toward me was natural as a user of hers, but that was her own situation. So, when she answered with a snort, I could see Lee Hyo-eul’s face turning pale.
“After a while. Then just tell me this. How on earth did you know that I was the guardian of the Northern Continent? “This is a very important matter, so I would like you to answer.”
“well.”
“please. If you answer, I will also answer one thing you want.”
This was a slightly attractive proposition. I was lost in thought and then nodded.
“I just knew. And haven’t you already been to your angel? If there was a problem, the angels would have taken action long ago. From the looks of it, it seems to have passed without any problems, so that’s it.”
“… Gabriel asked me to tell you. Please keep the secret. And I’m waiting. Now that I think about it, what does this mean?”
“Now it’s my turn to ask a question.”
“Oh, I’m really going crazy.”
For the first time, Hyoeul Lee distorted her face and began chewing her lips. Regardless of that, I calmly asked the question.
“What is your relationship with my brother?”
Lee Hyo-eul, who couldn’t shake off the look on her face that said she had suffered a loss for a long time, looked at me blankly for a moment and then said, “Kick.” He burst out laughing. She knows why she smiles But the most important question to me now was this. Although she was spared for now, her subsequent disposition could be decided based on what Lee Hyo-eul thought of her older brother. Should I let him live for now, kill him when I get the chance, or cooperate?
“pooh. I wonder who isn’t a brother. Anyway, to answer that question… . This is my 7th year as a Guardian. And the user you chose to lead the most recently is your brother. Of course, the most recent was two years ago.”
“… … ?”
“It is rare for a guardian to stay in one place for two years. Really, a year at most? Of course, since it is worth it to Kim Yu-hyun, the angels don’t seem to say anything… . Now that too is over. Anyway, the biggest thing that remains is my personal will. “I am also a woman in heaven.”
“Right.”
It took me a while to say, ‘That’s over now.’ But I answered calmly.
“Well, honestly, if I could quit now, I would like to quit right now. The problem is that I can’t do that. There is no successor, so there is no successor… . Ugh, damn old woman.”
Lee Hyo-eul crossed her arms, sighed, and shook her head. Then, she suddenly started giving me a strange look.
“It’s over there. Maybe my sister-in-law and I can become masters. Can’t I just ask one more question? Of course, you can do it too.”
“I can’t accept what you said before, but I’ll let you say what you say later.”
“good. It seems like you don’t want to go into detail, so just answer yes or no. “Are you the new guardian?”
“no.”
When I answered immediately, Lee Hyo-eul pouted with a very disappointed look on her face. It seemed like she had expectations for one reason or another.
“It’s my turn again. “I heard that you will be holding a rather large convocation ceremony soon.”
“huh? huh. But it’s not that big. “I’m only going to call people who know me.”
“I guess so. Then let’s ask. How far did your story go? And what is the purpose?”
“?”
Hyoeul Lee tilted her head in response to my question. It seemed like the scope was too comprehensive, so it seemed like it needed to be narrowed down a bit.
“Not long ago, the Starlight Clan came to Monica. “It was originally a clan active in Halo, but it was said that they were scouted by Istantel Law.”
“aha. What’s going on? Soyoung made a mistake… . No, no. Well, things are going to explode soon, so it doesn’t really matter, right?”
Lee Hyo-eul opened her eyes as if she had finally caught on, but quickly grinned and made an incomprehensible noise. No, it wasn’t something that didn’t make sense. Keywords such as ‘mistake’ and ‘I guess it doesn’t really matter since I’m going to explode’ came out. Perhaps she noticed that I was asking two questions at once and gave me a euphemistic answer. She said she would answer both questions, but it occurred to me that she was a really incomprehensible user.
“And the purpose… . I think this explanation will be a bit long… . Oh, well, since there are angels and he is also a master, it is a huge service. Do you want to… . Adventure. “You know that your godmother was murdered, right?”
“Know.”
“sifter. To give a hard answer. Anyway, personally, I thought there were a lot of things that were unclear about Daemo’s death. So, I took action to solve it, but as you know, I ended up wandering into death. Thanks to you, I survived, but when I woke up, everything had exploded. That’s why, just when I was in trouble, you showed up with a group of pathetic outcasts. The purpose of the summons is the vagabonds you brought in. ah. I’m just saying this just in case, so please don’t misunderstand. “I’m not saying I’m going to take away your authority, but it’s a strict request.”
‘You took action to solve a puzzling problem?’
My brother explained that he got hit while exploring the ruins. But Lee Hyo-eul’s words were different. If so, it can be divided into two cases. Either she is lying, or there are circumstances she cannot tell others about.
I opened my mouth softly, trying not to reveal such thoughts.
“So what you’re saying is that it was a tramp who murdered the godmother?”
“It’s nice to be smart. huh. I have something to point out. If you compare it to the current situation, it smells quite strong, right? To be honest, I was in dire need of a vagabond, but I was really thankful that they even caught Baek Seo-yeon. Since he is almost a leader-level kid, he seems to know a lot of things. “If what I think is correct, he may have participated in the murder of his godmother.”
Perhaps because her mouth hurt from speaking for a long time, Lee Hyo-eul touched her lips for a moment, then gently held her hands together and continued speaking.
“Oh. I was drinking kimchi soup alone. Will you participate in the second convocation? Among the participants, of course, is Kim Yu-hyeon. huh?”
I don’t know what this has to do with anything, but I calmly stared at Hyoeul Lee. Her thoughts and mine are similar. No, would it be correct to say that it is similar to a memory? Anyway, I still can’t completely believe it, but today’s conversation has convinced me of one thing. I thought it was a good idea to treat her right away.
After gathering my thoughts for a while, I smiled inwardly and made a decision.
Let’s keep him alive for now.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
I’m 5 minutes late today. sorry. After the semester started, my rhythm of life suddenly went out of whack and I couldn’t move. haha. Oh, and I plan to replace the photo of Goyeonju on the notice soon. I asked the person who drew it to modify the drawing to cover the chest area a little more. 🙂 and… . Those of you with keen eagle eyes may have caught something from today’s episode. Even if you have noticed, I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to share your thoughts for others. _(__)_
『Reripple』
1. Angmacheoda: Congratulations on first place. Is it really him? ha ha ha. 🙂 If yes, it was nice meeting you!
2. TrueEyes: Yes! I will leave a reply here. Flat porridge! _(__)_
3. Moon Night Suwol: Think of the curse of Hwajeong and Bansi. Not all abilities are the same. 🙂
4. Path in a dream: Hmm. It is difficult to compare the two because their uses are different, but if you assume the two are complete, you can think of them as Hwajeong > Third Eye.
5. Sun, Moon and Stars: That’s right. Lee Hyo-eul has influence that encompasses the southern and eastern regions. I plan to gradually reveal this in future convocation orders.
6. podytop: Lee Hyo-eul is someone Kim Soo-hyun did not remember. Originally, in the first episode, Lee Hyo-eul died after failing to resolve the Banshee curse, and it was much later that Kim Soo-hyun joined his brother’s clan. If you are curious about the Guardian of the Continent, I recommend that you re-read the conversation between Simon and the tramp captain. 🙂
7. Yurikenne: Isn’t Hyoeul such a pretty name? haha. I think Suhyun’s strings would look good with shining strings. 🙂
8. Refill: I can definitely say that the third eye is a deception ability. haha.
9. JF: In Su-hyeon’s case, she is the current sword owner. So it is loved by all swords. haha.
10. Sunsets: I watched this in a heartwarming manner until the middle of the first half, but then suddenly I was surprised to see a boy who looked like the male protagonist lying down bleeding. -_-a And at the end, I glanced at it and turned it off again in surprise, and it looked like it was hugging my neck. ㅜ.ㅠ
