00707 Angel’s request. ————————————————– ———————-=
Creak, creak… .
The wind that blew a little strong made the entrance door shake and make a loose noise.
widely.
After carefully closing the door, Baek Han-gyeol secretly took a deep breath and turned around. In a space measuring about 60 pyeong, several tables that could seat 20 people caught my eye. And users sitting in a circle along the table.
As Baek Han-gyeol looked closely at the total of 13 users, he felt somewhat intimidated. He craned his neck for no reason, walked slowly, and rested his butt on an empty chair.
A cold chill was flowing through the inn. If there were this many people, it would be expected that a little bit of hot steam would come out, but instead, there was only a chilly atmosphere. It felt even colder as everyone was silent with their mouths closed. It’s like an atmosphere where you shouldn’t open your mouth carelessly.
Baek Han-gyeol, who was slowly looking around, soon fixed his gaze on the three people. While the majority of users had a sword and shield symbolizing Mercenary drawn on their chests, only three users had a different symbol.
First of all, the user sitting to the right of Kim Soo-hyun, who has his eyes closed and his arms crossed. He was a man with a sophisticated look, wearing a jet black wizard coat that was large enough to cover his entire body, with his collar slightly raised. Perched on his shoulder is a golden bird reminiscent of his hawk.
Baek Han-gyeol knows the man’s identity. This is because he has seen it dozens, if not hundreds of times, and is a user who can be counted among the first among all wizards in the Northern Continent. A wizard who is unrivaled, especially when it comes to the Thunder series.
‘Thunder Emperor’ Kim Yu-hyeon.
And to Kim Soo-hyun’s left, a large man with a larger body than anyone else in the inn was sitting, holding on to his weight. The leather armor bulged as if it would burst at any moment, giving rise to the illusion that it was probably made of muscle.
The eyes are obscured by the shaggy flowing hair, but the wounded mouth, which occasionally moves like a snarl, fully reveals its rough, wild nature. It’s like looking at an animal rather than a person.
Baek Han-gyeol also knows the identity of this giant. Above all, it is clear when you look at the black spear that spreads ominous energy held tightly in its arms.
Gong Chan-ho, the ‘Master of Surama Creativity’.
Lastly, there was a woman sitting across from me on the right. Strangely, this woman was not as heavy as the two men before her. She was constantly showing changes in her expression, such as looking at someone and slyly laughing at them or glaring at them as if they were going to kill them.
At first, he wondered who he was looking at, but the moment he saw Go Yeon-ju silently fighting back across from him, Baek Han-gyeol was finally able to remember the woman’s identity.
‘Princess Of Executions’ Yeon Hye-rim.
At first I was confused and didn’t know who it was, but after thinking about it, I was able to remember. He is a user who has already reached the top 10 for a long time, and I remember meeting him once or twice at the user academy. In particular, it is almost certain when you see him fighting with Go Yeon-ju with his eyes. That’s because I remember hearing the late Yeon-joo swear at Yeon Hye-rim, calling her the princess of a s*ut on rare occasions.
Soon, Go Yeon-ju smiled, held her nose in her hand, and shook her head excitedly. This behavior refers to smelling and compares Yeon Hye-rim to a mop. It was a moment when Yeon Hye-rim, who was furious, was gritting her teeth and placing her hand on the table, while Baek Han-gyeol was wondering what to do.
Ugh!
Suddenly, a weak flow of magic power that arose from somewhere broke the silence of the dawn.
At that moment, Go Yeon-ju and Yeon Hye-rim stopped their actions at the same time and calmly concentrated as if they had never done so before. Although surprised by the quick change in attitude, Baek Han-gyeol quickly stared at the table. In the center of the cracked wooden table lies a blue bead shining with light.
Kim Soo-hyun suddenly opened his eyes and quietly placed his hand on the bead.
Flash!
The light exploded and the bead illuminated someone. After a long time, the face of an intelligent woman who looked a little tired was fully revealed. Baek Han-gyeol sighed inwardly. She didn’t know the details of who that woman was, but she did know that she was the highest-ranking user in the central management organization.
After a while, Lee Hyo-eul looked everywhere and whistled.
(Wow… this is really not a joke. One or two large clans will get a little steamed.)
“joy. I was begging for help so badly. Actually, I’m not the type of person who likes to do things like this, but Soyoung also told me to help her. “Even though I don’t feel like it, this body came forward.”
When Lee Hyo-eul admired Yeon Hye-rim, she spoke in a clear voice and showed off her arrogance.
Kim Soo-hyun secretly laughed bitterly. It is true that he contacted Istantel Row, but in fact, she was trying to bring Han So-young, not Yeon Hye-rim. He mustered up some courage and asked if he was having a headache due to a lot of recent events, and suggested that we take care of some outlaws together for a change of pace.
However, Han So-young was very sorry and euphemistically refused, saying that she was too busy these days, and then asked again if she would take Yeon Hye-rim with her. She said, ‘Even if she exists, she doesn’t help the city’s development as much as a fingernail, so I want to turn it around like this.’ So, please,’ she added. Of course, Yeon Hye-rim doesn’t think that way at all.
(Good. Very good. With this much power, I’d rather mourn those outlaws.)
“I just did my best to prepare. Any information?”
Kim Soo-hyun lightly summarized his words and asked back. Then, a look of apology appeared on Lee Hyo-eul’s face as she nodded.
(Hmm… I just stormed into the temple and asked… First of all, there are currently about 1,500 users from the West Continent confirmed in the ‘Dark Forest’. There are about 400 or 500 users being chased, and there are about 400 or 500 users being chased. I think the number of outlaws is about twice that.)
“There are 100 people per head… . I tried to trick him into asking if he wanted to go on a rampage, but this was a bit of a disappointment. Hehe… .”
At that moment, Gong Chan-ho, who had been quietly listening until now, grinned, showing his white teeth. Kim Soo-hyun took a long breath.
“I can’t help it. It is said that the majority of them flocked to the southern continent. Anyway, it’s in the pitch black forest?”
(Yes. This is my guess. I think they probably used the road the vagabonds came in during the last war.)
“Then they say they came through an unexplored area.”
(I guess so. Anyway, this is all the information I found out. Sorry.)
Lee Hyo-eul said she was sorry and smiled bitterly. I was in the position of receiving a request, but it was bittersweet to receive information through almost begging.
However, Kim Soo-hyun did not care much. Anyway, from the time he heard the story, he had a strong feeling that it was an obligation, rather than a necessity, to save the Western Continent users. Didn’t Seraph do the same? This request is just one condition for passing some kind of agenda. In the first place, it is absurd for an angel to think of users.
“This is enough. “Because this guy can determine distance and location.”
Kim Yu-hyeon smiled and touched the golden bird sitting on his shoulder. The bird’s sharp eyes shined and it let out a low cry.
(Yes. Thank you for helping me and I’m sorry. I wish you all the best.)
Soon, Lee Hyo-eul bowed politely and cheered, and the bead’s light went out for the last time.
“hmm… .”
Kim Soo-hyun calmly put the marble in his arms and then looked around.
“what… . “Everyone will take care of it.”
As he was about to say something, he shook his head and stood up. This is because, considering each person’s level, I did not feel the need to give separate instructions.
There is a saying about Hole Plain:
I am not envious of one well-cultivated user or ten users.
However, the majority of users gathered here are not at a very high level, but each one is a user who has reached the extreme. Just looking at Kim Soo-hyun, about 100 average users can easily be treated as a hangover after drinking.
Of course, it is difficult to say that this is true for everyone, and Kim Soo-hyun’s gaze rested on Ahn Hyun and Baek Han-gyeol for a moment. However, as if he wanted to give it a try, he immediately picked up a large gray robe from under the table and began to put it on. Other users also stood up and wrapped themselves in robes of the same color. Baek Han-gyeol was embarrassed because he thought he didn’t bring it alone, but when Heo Jun-young nonchalantly handed him a robe, he accepted it with joy and put it on.
After a while, the users, led by Kim Soo-hyun, came out of the inn one by one.
“then Let’s go.”
Like that, the 14 users wearing gray robes left the castle gate like the wind and suddenly disappeared into the pitch-black forest.
*
Buss, booths!
Dusky dawn.
The dark forest covered in hazy fog was showing an untimely bustle that did not match the silence of dawn.
“Huh… . Huh… .”
Soon, a woman suddenly appeared through the shaking bushes.
no. The woman was not alone. The woman was only the leader, and soon the bushes shook violently once again, and countless users began to appear one after another. The number was truly significant, possibly 4,500.
Even at first glance, the appearance of users, including women, was not normal. The scattered hair looks cute. Dust had accumulated here and there on her body, as if she hadn’t washed in months, and the armor and robes she was wearing were discolored and tattered. In severe cases, it looked like a rag rather than a robe at all.
“almost… . We’re almost there… .”
However, the woman walked continuously, muttering in a feeble voice as if possessed by something. However, her eyes, which endlessly stared straight ahead, contained an unexpected spleen.
It was then.
“Sarah! Saraaa!”
Suddenly, a desperate cry came from behind and hit the woman on the back. The woman, whom she called Sarah, turned her head to glance as she still did not stop walking. A man was running towards her, his brown hair flying. A puzzled look appeared on Sarah’s face.
“Arnold?”
“Sarah, Sarah! It’s a big deal! Something big… . evil!”
At that moment, the brown-haired man named Arnold fell violently to the ground. She must have been running in a hurry and got her foot twisted. Sarah couldn’t hide her stuffy expression, but she turned around and walked towards Arnold.
“Arnold? are you okay? What happen?”
“Well, that…” . Pfft!”
Arnold was about to say something, but gritted his teeth as if the pain was so intense. The area around his ankle turned bright red and was swollen. Sarah, startled, tried to shout out, but Arnold shook his head vigorously.
“Buy, buy! We’re in big trouble! “There are stragglers, stragglers!”
“yes?”
Sarah widened her eyes and bit her lower lip. Then she quickly turned her head and looked around her. It was as if he was very alert to see if anyone was following him.
Arnold endured the pain and opened his mouth.
“It’s not an attack. I guess I was exhausted from the continuous forced marches and fell behind somewhere. “You must be lost.”
“Arnold. It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do. “Our situation is not that good right now.”
“Sarah.”
“No. “I didn’t expect you to chase me this far, but we almost caught up with you two days ago.”
“B-but… .”
“I was lucky and managed to escape, but I can’t expect that kind of luck again. If there is even a little delay, we will not be able to guarantee the future situation. So wake up. hurry.”
Sarah spoke very quickly but with a clear voice. The beautiful golden eyes shining brightly revealed the will to never go back.
Then Arnold stood up shakily and made a sad expression.
“Sarah… .”
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
Something a little sad happened today.
In fact, I sing very occasionally, really occasionally, while writing. Like today.
“Unbelievable~. Is there~. My decoration~. Inside~. “You are a princess enchanted!”
So, while I was singing like this, my mother suddenly called me.
“Eujin… .”
“Always~. You~. In the gesture towards you~. Numerous difficulties~~~~. yes?”
“sorry… .”
“yes? What?”
“I’m sorry mom… .”
“????”
“I’m sorry mom… … .”
“… … .”
And then my brother suddenly walked towards me with long strides.
“okay. hey. “I’m sorry too.”
“no. Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Don’t sing? “She sang softly.”
“no. sorry. Really sorry. “I’m sorry.”
“… … .”
… This is the second time in my life that I have heard my brother say sorry. I was dumbfounded.
Anyway, I learned something good today.
Next time I get the chance, I plan to kiss my brother at the door before he goes to work. ha ha ha.
