00688 The Return of the King. ————————————————– ———————-=
Each continent or city has its own name. For example, in the case of the continent I have been working on, everyone calls it the ‘North Continent’. And many cities within the continent also have their own names. For example Barbara, Prinica, Halo, Monica, Pamela and so on.
But the case of Atlanta is a little different. Both the continent and the city are collectively called ‘Atlanta’. In fact, it is a small difference that does not require much attention, but the cause of the difference can be revealed by looking at the historical records (records that serve as data for official history compilation) preserved in the city library.
In a way, you could say that I now have the corresponding sedge.
I lightly touched the earring hanging on my right ear.
『Victoria’s Glory』
1. Description: Distant ancient times. This is the royal sword symbolizing the Kingdom of Victoria. Although many kingdoms have arisen and fallen since then, Victoria is one of the longest-lived kingdoms in the Hol Plain. Victoria was such a warlike nation that other kingdoms called it a ‘warring people’. Although Victoria’s last queen, the ‘Empress of Proof’, went down the path of ultimate decline due to an unreasonable war of conquest over 200 years, what is clear is that Victoria was once a prosperous nation that was aiming for the unification of the Hall Plains. ‘Victoria’s Glory’ is a historical sword that has been traditionally handed down to the royal family… .
What is important here is that the kingdom of Victoria was once a powerful nation that called for continental unification and started a war. Of course, I do not know how far the line was drawn and unification was defined at that time.
Anyway, to put it bluntly, the area we are currently targeting is the continent where the headquarters of the ancient Kingdom of Victoria was located. In other words, it is the concept of a capital city.
Maybe that’s why Atlanta is different from the northern continent. The difference is that rather than having cities arranged in all directions like in the northern continent, all cities are concentrated and connected around a central capital. In other words, it is a combination of four regular cities in the east, west, south, and north in the large city of Barbara.
The man I met for the first time when I came to Atlanta said, ‘There are no mercenaries in this city.’ Me ‘Go through the western tunnel and you will come out.’ That’s exactly what it meant. In the first session, it was called one inner city and four outer cities.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no cities or villages on this continent. There are definitely some traces. However, it is fair to say that such places only retain their value as relics and, like Atlanta, have lost their residential function.
This isn’t important.
In other words, if you think about it against this background, it is possible to guess to some extent why the current situation in Atlanta is like this. Because five connected cities suddenly appeared, users must have thought of everything.
Of course, after the expedition is over, the results are distributed to those who worked the hardest. But what is so different about an expedition?
So it would have been even more embarrassing. It would be neater if there was just one city. Even if the largest central city was managed by a central management organization, it was truly a miracle that each expedition team would have fought a huge battle of nerves over the remaining four cities.
‘They say our Mercenary was checked right here… .’
If you think about it carefully, it’s obvious who did it. It’s probably the East Coast’s doing.
In the end, it was a simple story. Looking at simple achievements, no one can disagree about the Mercenary Clan taking over a city. However, it is not as if there is absolutely no room for delving into areas other than merit.
After the meal, I listened to it separately and it was said that Dongbu really risked his life to shake the mercenary. In particular, did you say that you suffered a huge attack from the media?
for example.
‘Machionary participated as a southern clan. Moreover, it is not right for them to become the representative clan even though they are not part of the Northern Continent.’
‘It is questionable whether a clan with just over 50 members can manage a city.’
‘After Kim Soo-hyun disappeared, Mercenary couldn’t come to his senses.’
‘There was a secret struggle to take Kim Soo-hyun’s position within Mercantile.’
etc.
They really shook up Mercenary with various nonsense.
So, there is only one thing Dongbu is aiming for. The goal is to take advantage of the current users’ greatest interests.
According to Ko Yeon-ju, the eastern part of the country has quietly delayed the second round of talks that have been held so far. And with the continued media play mentioned above, the cause of the delay in the meeting was shifted to Mercenary. It cleverly penetrates the hearts of users who want to quickly organize the city situation and go outside. In other words, should we say that it is a way to gain public support?
After hearing it for the first time, I couldn’t help but be amazed.
In fact, we cannot guarantee that doing so will cover up Mercenary’s achievements. But that is even more amazing.
It is neither clumsy nor reckless. Rather, it is very appropriate. I don’t know whose idea came from the head of the party, but it is a strategy that was developed after accurately recognizing the situation the eastern part of the country is currently facing. They have chosen the best method they can now. Of course, I can only admire it to a certain extent, but I have no intention of giving in.
anyway.
This summarizes everything you need to know before attending the third meeting… .
‘… But why did this happen in the first place?’
There is still one question left in the back of my mind.
I turned around on the bed and stared at the old ceiling.
It was literally like that. Why did we just sit by and let the situation get to this point in the first place? Of course, this question has no choice but to be directly related to Han So-young.
As the current meeting itself was held under the auspices of Istantel Row, the current Han So-young could be said to be truly untouchable. It’s not that it’s not, but if the South had suppressed the East while pushing the mercenaries, it would have ended a long time ago.
Even if it’s not necessarily true, I know very well what Han So-young’s temper is like. I’m not the type of person to drag things out in such a sluggish manner. Nevertheless, the fact that the situation has come to this point makes me think that she ultimately just ignored it.
‘why?’
There are many possibilities. Either they were trying to keep Mercenary as an affiliated clan, they were trying to lay the groundwork for a merger while I was away, they were trying to keep me in check, or they were not interested at all.
Unfortunately, no matter which way you think about it, there is no good conclusion.
Of course, there is no obligation for the South to support us. However, it was true that when I thought about the relationship I had had so far, I felt a sense of disappointment.
‘Or maybe I’m thinking something unexpected… . huh?’
It was then. The moment I was about to think that it was an extremely small possibility, I felt something strange. Although it was only a moment, something black passed by on the ceiling.
After stopping to think for a moment, I stared at the ceiling and quietly opened my mouth.
“Why don’t you come out?”
“this. “I got caught.”
I knew it. Soon, Go Yeon-ju suddenly appeared from a shadowy part of the ceiling. I smiled bitterly as I watched her slightly stick out her tongue.
“If I lock the door, does it come in as a shadow?”
Literally, after I entered the room, the door was tightly sealed. Part of me was trying to organize my thoughts quietly in preparation for the meeting, but the kids were mostly to blame. Even though I told him to stop, it was so persistent that I was really sick of it. In the end, once I got angry and went into the room, I could barely have time to think.
“Then shall I go out too?”
Go Yeon-ju spoke lazily and smiled slightly. I also smiled and knocked on the bed a couple of times.
“You can come here if you promise not to act like a child.”
“joy. We’ll see. “Who is acting like a child?”
After saying that, Go Yeon-ju flowed from the ceiling like a mermaid and fell onto the bed. He tried to hug me, but I overpowered him and pulled him into my arms. Go Yeon-ju was startled and trembled. As I quietly lowered my gaze, my long eyelashes were blinking in confusion.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that it had been a long time since I had seen this up close.
I slowly looked at the notes one by one and stared at them.
“It’s been so long since I last saw you… .”
And, breathing in the unique, strange smell of Ko Yeon-ju’s flesh, which I smelled for the first time in a while, I spoke in a whisper.
“Go Yeon-joo is also very pretty.”
“… yes?”
At that moment, Go Yeon-ju opened her mouth wide. As if I had heard something unexpected, there was a strong light of disbelief in the gray eyes looking at me.
Either that or not. I lowered my head and touched my forehead with Go Yeonju and said, “You worked really hard.” He whispered softly. Then there was a soft kiss. The more this happened, the more Go Yeon-ju still looked like she couldn’t believe something.
‘Did I do something wrong?’
I tilted my head.
“Hey, why is Lee like this all of a sudden…?” . Me, manly… .”
Go Yeon-joo stuttered for a rare moment, then quickly turned his head and tried to get away from me. But when she hugged him tightly and wouldn’t let go, he said, “Ugh! Ah yes!” Letting out her moans of pain, she was helpless. And even made her squirm and struggle. It’s really refreshing to see Ko Yeon-joo like this.
“Now, wait a minute. Su-hyun. “I’m talking about the third meeting.”
In the end, Go Yeon-ju chose to change the topic by clearing her throat, which was extremely awkward. Although she felt like teasing him a little more, she decided to let it go.
“yes. Why the third meeting?”
“that is… . I thought it would be a good idea to visit Istantel Low Road before the meeting… .”
The moment I heard that, I felt a little down. It wasn’t because it was wrong. Go Yeon-ju also understood the current situation accurately, and it was also the best method.
However, I did not intend to visit Soyoung Han until the meeting. no. I don’t even plan on letting people know that I’m back. Because, even if it’s Dongbu, I was curious about how Han So-young would turn out if I wasn’t there.
If the unfortunate possibility I thought of occurs. Then, you can’t help but be a little disappointed in Han So-young. But even if she had to risk it all, she wanted to see it at least once. Han So-young’s true intentions.
“well… .”
I deliberately blurted out my words and blurted them out. This time it was my turn to change the topic. As the story of Han So-young came up, there was one person who came to mind.
“Now that I think about it. “I have one question.”
“yes? Ah~. “What about the person impersonating Soo-hyeon?”
Go Yeon-joo said with joy as if everything went well, but I calmly shook my head. Of course, I was curious about that too, but there was something I had to ask first. If things weren’t like this, I might have asked the first question after arriving in the city.
“I mean, brother. “My brother.”
It was that moment.
Just as he was about to ask his brother what he was up to, Go Yeon-ju’s face hardened. Suddenly, I felt an ominous feeling as I saw dark shadows all over my face. The expression on his face was like, ‘It’s finally come.’ Because it seemed like he was saying.
“why… . Is that so?”
“actually… .”
Feeling something was strange, Go Yeonju asked, and after hesitating for a while, she opened her mouth.
And after a while.
After hearing the whole story from Go Yeon-ju.
bang!
I just ran out the door.
“Soo, Su-hyeon!”
I heard Go Yeon-ju’s voice grabbing me, but at this moment, no thoughts crossed my mind. The fact that she was going to hide her return until the meeting was also out of her mind. Now all I could think about was that I had to get to his brother as soon as possible.
‘completely… . You’re crazy. ‘You could almost call him a madman.’
I couldn’t believe it, but I didn’t know it would be that bad. no. I might have thought that his brother would be okay. Because my brother is strong.
‘You’ve had a really hard time since Su-hyeon disappeared.’
But that was a wrong idea.
‘Then at some point, I couldn’t hold on and collapsed. You won’t be able to see your old self anymore.’
In the end, my brother was also a human being. When I think about what happened to me after losing my brother in the first inning, I shouldn’t have been so relaxed.
‘Now? I don’t know what you do, but I heard that you’re in the library all day. You have completely severed all relationships with the outside world.’
okay. I should have gone looking for his brother as soon as I got back.
“shit!”
He left the inn swearing harshly and ran quickly down the street.
To where my brother is.
*
According to Go Yeon-ju’s words, there was a high probability that his brother was still in a place called the ‘library’. As he had once been active in Atlanta for a long time, he knew where the place was, and as a result of running with all his might, he was able to arrive at the destination in a short period of time.
A bluish light was coming out of the shabby building, which was a little different from what I remembered, and seemed so dilapidated that it seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
Without even having time to feel that it had been a while since I had been here, I went straight up the stairs and into the library. The fact that light was coming out at this time was proof that there was a user inside.
“… … .”
It was dark inside. The light seen from outside was coming from the innermost part of the bookshelves arranged in a row. However, the moment I followed the light and walked quickly inside, I had no choice but to stop.
The source of light was a large crystal ball placed on an old table covered in musty dust.
The surrounding area illuminated by the crystal ball was truly a mess. A pile of records scattered haphazardly or piled up on a table is a good thing. The records, which clearly collapsed as they piled up, are scattered around like fallen leaves. It was so dizzy that I felt dizzy.
In the center of the table sat a black figure wearing a thick robe.
“There will be… . no. There must be… . Red Curtain… . Black hole… . clearly… . Hehehehe.”
His gaze was fixed on the records on the table, his eyes burning black and he was muttering something. You can tell who it is without looking closely.
“Suhyeon… . Soohyun… . Hang in there… . My brother is coming soon… .”
That person was my older brother.
