00779 The snowy field of a glacier. ————————————————– ———————-=
The evil spirit was definitely real.
That evil power was so terrifying that it covered the sky and killed the earth.
Nevertheless, the reason he did not come forward directly was
I think he probably wanted to watch the process of humans slowly dying.
So, the miracles that occur everywhere after the woman from Shinnyeo Valley appears,
In the end, I think I might have incurred the wrath of an evil spirit.
The first appearance of the evil spirit was when the final punitive force approached the source of the abnormality.
In other words, if anything that caused even the slightest harm to the phenomenon occurred, the evil spirit seemed to reveal itself.
In other words, evil spirits do not stay still,
If there is a situation that interferes with the current situation, they will take action directly.
To punish that obstruction directly.
As a result, it was obvious that the woman would be targeted.

There was no need to wander around looking for the mercenary you were supposed to meet. Because I was able to find it as soon as I arrived at the east gate of the eastern city. There is a large man crouching against the castle wall, and she can’t help but notice him. therefore… .
“Why is that user doing that?”
“Iknow, right. “You look so desperate.”
Someone said what I wanted to say for me.
At that moment, Gong Chan-ho also stood up as if he had seen me. He walked forward at long strides and stopped about five meters ahead. The stern eyes staring at me lifted up curiously.
“you… . “Are you Kim Soo-hyun?”
“Have you forgotten my face now?”
Gong Chan-ho frowned when he asked back, feeling a little absurd. Then he looked me up and down and nodded his head a couple of times.
“hmm. “It’s quite interesting to see since I haven’t seen it before.”
Why is everyone acting like this today? I just changed the gloves.
“Anyway, I didn’t know you’d come first. “Have you waited long?”
“not really. “About an hour or two.”
“okay. Two hours… . what?”
“Tsk.”
You waited two, two hours? From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like a lie. Could it be that the delivery was wrong?
“To Seong Hayan… .”
“no. I definitely received the delivery. “I just showed up early.”
“why… .”
“Ahh, that’s enough. Let’s go quickly. Anywhere is fine. “If I can just escape this damn stuffy city, I’ll go to hell with a smile on my face.”
Gong Chan-ho gulped his appetite and shook his head. Seeing him express his feelings like that makes me feel like I understand him a little. I guess I must have been quite bored all this time.
“It feels like watching a child going on a picnic.”
At that time, I heard someone muttering behind me. In fact, in some ways, it was a very accurate expression. However, there is no way that Gong Chan-ho did not hear what I heard, and he glances away and then looks back at the male body. Heo Jun-young was staring at Gong Chan-ho, who was trudging along with his arms crossed.
“Say it again.”
Gong Chan-ho, who stopped right in front of Heo Jun-young, let out a growling voice. Heo Jun-young is not short, but compared to Gong Chan-ho, there is a clear difference. However, Heo Jun-young did not show any signs of being pushed back, and tilted his head in an obnoxious way.
“why. “Did I say something I shouldn’t have said?”
“I am.”
Gong Chan-ho snorts loudly.
“I really hate it when people who are weaker than me talk to me carelessly.”
“Ho, you’re kinder than you look.”
“what?”
“So what you’re saying is that I don’t have any relevant information. thanks. “I’ll refer to it in the future.”
Then Gong Chan-ho raised the corners of his mouth. Then he raised a hand the size of a pot lid and tapped Heo Jun-young on the shoulder.
“You better watch your mouth from now on. The second guy I hate is the guy with a big mouth, and the third guy I hate is the guy who looks like a gisaeng brother. But you fall into the first, second, and third categories, right?”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s the second or third time. Won’t you wake up from the illusion at least the first time? “Ah, my brain is full of muscles, so I guess it’s going to be difficult?”
This is truly spectacular. Gong Chan-ho and Heo Jun-young. Well, they have opposite personalities… .
“Kick!”
Then someone burst out laughing.
“Pukik! Gisaeng brother… . brain muscles… . Pukkikikick!”
Gong Chan-ho and Heo Jun-young turned their heads at the same time. Then Jin Su-hyeon, who was laughing out loud, was startled and quickly started looking at the distant mountain. I quietly opened my mouth as I listened to the subsequent whistling sound.
“stop. Gong Chan-ho. “You are next to me.”
“… joy.”
Although he glared at Heo Jun-young as if he was going to eat him, Gong Chan-ho obediently turned away. After sending a warning to Heo Jun-young with my eyes, I looked at the gate.
“Let’s go now. “Because I have a long way to go.”
“It’s nice to hear this, but… .”
Gong Chan-ho trailed off and glanced at me.
“You guy, you can satisfy me this time, right?”
“… “I think that’s quite misleading.”
“I felt like those guys from the Western Continent last time were a bit lacking.”
“aha.”
I thought I knew what he meant, so I couldn’t help but laugh. Without saying a word, I lifted my shoulders and walked toward the gate. I heard grumbling for a moment, but then I felt signs following me.
First of all, getting out of the wasteland was an urgent priority.

Siiiiiiing!
The bitter wind passes sharply past my skin, and a bitter chill penetrates my entire body.
When I take a deep breath, I feel like my insides are freezing. Who hasn’t done that? Even if the temperature is the same, it feels colder in the mountains. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but one thing is certain: this mountain covered in snow, or rather ice, is extremely cold. The tingling in my face from earlier felt like my skin had hardened and was being torn into pieces. It was truly extremely cold.
Siiiiing, siiiiing!
The icy wind blows once again. Damn it, does it rain like this all the time, so the mountain doesn’t freeze?
I reflexively twitch my neck and walk down the slippery mountain path. I don’t know how much it went up. However, eight hours ago, the mountain peak, which had been dim in the distance at the entrance, is slowly becoming larger, so I guess I will soon reach the summit. Now that I think about it, the clouds seem to have gotten closer.
“Aaaah!”
While climbing for a while, a violent scream suddenly erupted from behind. I quickly turned around and saw Kim Han-byeol, who had been balled up, and Woo Jeong-min barely holding on to her next to him. He seemed to have lost his footing while climbing an icy road.
“S-sorry.”
Kim Han-byeol apologized and immediately straightened her posture. I gave a very cliche remark about being careful because the road was slippery and resumed the march.
All of the colleagues I just saw had their eyes narrowed. It may be because of the razor-sharp wind, but they all clearly look exhausted. In particular, the wizards’ faces were so white that they looked pale. Like a person just before dying.
“Huheueuunneuniim… .”
A strange sound suddenly heard. It took more time than I thought to understand him as ‘brother’. At first, I thought it was something similar to a melody mixed with the sound of the wind.
“Uh, uhmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn… .”
“soon.”
“Ugh, ugh…” .”
“… … .”
… I don’t know what you’re talking about.
“f*ck, damn it. “Can’t we just go beyond transportation capacity?”
“Who, who, who, do you know who doesn’t want to do that?”
“Well, then you can do it.”
“Say how many times! This can be used at any time… !”
While I was lost in thought for a while, I heard Heo Jun-young and Jegal Hae-sol grumbling. However, in this situation, I don’t feel like saying anything about arguing.
Actually, the road itself is not terribly bad. Although it has been a long climb, the slope itself is not steep and can be seen as rather gentle.
However, two things. The biting wind and the frozen roads are making the march difficult. These two adverse conditions are currently a major problem. In other words, the biggest enemy of marching can be said to be ‘boredom’, and when added to that by ‘hardships’ that cannot be handled by human power, great irritation arises.
Moreover, even I, wearing the shirt of hope, feel the bitter cold, but my colleagues will feel it even worse.
In the end, there is only one way left. The only thing left to do is to pass through this mountain as quickly as possible. When I get down from the mountain, at least it will be better than now. I hurriedly walked towards the mountain peak.
How much time has passed?
It felt like the sun was setting a little earlier than usual. When I kicked up the frozen, tangled bushes to make a path and climbed the bumpy, winding mountain path with difficulty, I suddenly felt the soles of my feet tripping and my body felt at ease. So, should I say that the feeling of being slightly pushed backwards has disappeared.
When I came to my senses and looked ahead, I let out a short exclamation without realizing it.
“Why, what’s wrong? Have you arrived?”
Maybe it’s because the voice is shaking so violently that I don’t even know whose voice it is anymore. However, I heard a series of whining sounds from behind, so I stopped and moved forward.
First of all, I understand that you have reached the top of the mountain. But the place is quite strange. I thought that if I wanted to get to the place where Shinnyeogok was located, I would definitely have to climb over this mountain. My guess was only half right. Beyond the mountain, I could clearly see the place I remembered, but I couldn’t see the way down. So cliff? No, I wonder if this is what it would feel like if you cut the mountain exactly in half. When I glance down, I see a straight, sharp line. If you ski here, you will definitely die.
“here is… .”
Before he knew it, Ansol quietly poked his head down and then hesitatingly stepped back. She touches her forehead so hard that she makes a clicking sound. Looking down at her from the top of the mountain, she must be dizzy. Ha Seung-woo, who was calmly looking down from the side, shook his head and closed his robe.
“I can’t see very well. “It feels like I’m seeing a snowy field, or rather, the North Pole.”
“It won’t be as bad there as it is here.”
Jegal Haesol responded with a sharp voice and looked at me.
“Clan Lord. “You don’t plan on going down the road, do you?”
Suddenly, the wind got stronger. I gaze towards the east, feeling the fluttering cloak. Even if you increase your visual acuity, you cannot see much detail. The weather seems to be getting colder, and since we are all exhausted, I think it would be a good idea to camp here today.
“of course. “How much time is left to wait?”
“You can use it tomorrow morning.”
“It’s perfect. Since the time is right, let’s camp here today.”
“Oh, I’m going to die when I sleep today.”
Jegal Haesol fell down with a groan and then stood up in shock. They seem to have forgotten that there is ice underneath. Ha Seung-yoon came next to Jegal Hae-sol, who was crying, rubbing his hands together.
“Oh, it’s cold. cold. It’s really crazy cold. Clan Lord! “Today’s march ends here, right?”
Nodding and shaking his head, Ha Seung-yoon began to prepare for camping, shivering in Busan. But we soon ran into a problem. To camp, you first need to make a fire, but the most important thing, firewood, was missing. You can’t use frozen trees as firewood, right? The wizards tried to memorize spells out of desperation, but even that was not easy. My mouth was shaking from the driving cold, so I couldn’t recite the spell properly. Even the source. (He was shaking his mouth with an expressionless face, but it was actually a little scary.)
“Uh, what should I do?”
Gong Chan-ho, his face turning red, looks around and asks. I was lost in thought for a moment, then opened my mouth as I looked at the good-sized ice tree rising to my left.
“Gong Chan-ho. “Can you cut that for me?”
“that? “It was frozen.”
“There is a way to melt it.”
“Really!”
Personally, I hoped he would ask how he was going to use the water-soaked wood as firewood, but Gong Chan-ho started running quickly.
“ah! I help too… !”
Cha So-rim tried to help by holding the spear, but
“It’s a help!”
thud!
Kwasik!
He looked dumbfounded as he watched Gong Chan-ho smashing a tree with a headbutt. Soon, Gong Chan-ho came with a bunch of pieces of ice wood and threw them all at once on the ground as if to start a fire.
‘Hwajeong. request.’
After speaking to myself, I touched the ice, or rather the piece of wood, and unleashed the power of fire.
Grumble!
A bright, clear flame. Hwajeong’s power was truly amazing. As it was not enough to melt the ice in an instant, the wet water was burned, and soon the tree began to burn with energy. The colleagues cheered and continued to bring firewood, and before long, a huge bonfire comparable to that of a camp fire was completed. Well, it’s a little warm now.
“Wow, it was nice to cross the meadow.”
“Who was it that whined about being bored back then?”
“Did you know that this would happen? What is this? “To begin with, I didn’t even know there was an area like this in Hall Plain!”
“me too. “I’d rather be in the mountains where the dead roam or the cursed forest. This is the absolute worst.”
While Jin Soo-hyun and Lee Yu-jeong were talking, the skillful Cha So-rim took out a large container and cup from the Chaos Mimic, and Woo Jung-min cut the ice scattered all over the place and put it into the container.
After a while, you start to hear the sound of water bubbling in a container placed around the fire. The amount was not large, so we had to share a cup each, but even though it was just plain water, we drank it sparingly as much as we could, as if it were the water of life.
After warming up my insides a little like that, I was finally able to find some relaxation. It was still cold though.
“Clan Lord. Can you see where we are now? “Based on destination.”
In response to Nam Da-eun’s question, I reflexively tried to take out the map but stopped. The place we are currently in is still an unexplored area externally. But if I told you the exact distance, wouldn’t you think it strange? Instead, I took out the record I had brought with me and waved it around.
“I think we’ve almost reached our destination. “If I can get down here tomorrow, it won’t take long.”
“Do you think the climate described in that record is similar to the current climate?”
“There are many similarities in many ways, including the weather.”
“okay.”
Nam Da-eun quietly nodded.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
Thank you for your support.
I enjoyed reading all the comments.
I’ve thought about it a lot, but first of all, I don’t want to take a hiatus.
If there are unavoidable circumstances, such as once every 2 or 3 weeks, it is highly likely that continuous absences will last throughout the year.
I think it would be best to write it down consistently.
First of all, since I started a new part, I will finish this part first.
And if my physical condition does not improve after completing this part, I plan to move towards abduction.
There are some things I wanted to write about, but deleted due to progress.
The revenge on the former Golden Lion Clan member who tried to gang rape Jeong Ha-yeon, the backstory of Baek Han-gyeol and Cha Yu-na, Kim Soo-hyun and Ko Yeon-ju, Kim Soo-hyun and Nam Da-eun, etc.
After writing it down, it seems like it’s all related to that(?). Huh. ㅡㅡ;
Anyway, let’s first focus on finishing the current episode.
Originally, I planned the process of getting to today’s location to take about 4 steps, but I just deleted them all and arrived right away.
Please understand if there is some confusion. _(__)_
