Return of the Frozen Player 606
Winter Song(5)
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes looking at Keith Bremen were mixed.
Somehow, I wondered if I had to fight him.
‘I didn’t know anything about him when we fought before… …
Now, just a few minutes ago, he was looking at the world through his eyes, ears, and skin.
I was vividly sharing his thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
Because I know that earnest and firm loyalty, I understand it better than anyone else.
I didn’t have the courage to aim the sword easily.
“Take it easy. You and I will never fight.”
Keith shook his head lightly and walked past him as he walked forward.
“Walk for a while.”
An awkward air flowed between the two as they walked down the aisle.
Seo Jun-ho, unable to overcome the silence, asked.
“What do you mean you always wanted to meet me?”
“Literally. I wanted to meet you at least once.”
“Haven’t we met before?”
Let’s turn our heads and look at each other, kiss
shook his head.
“The Keith Bremen you met stopped the moment I died… … It’s kind of like a record.”
Seo Jun-ho, who pondered over the words for a while, asked.
“Is frost like that?”
He had a spirit called the Frost Queen, and when he reached the 8th floor, the Frost Queen was there too.
That said, one of the two must be something like the record he said.
But Keith shook his head.
“It is not. It’s a little special for him.”
Keith, who had reached his destination, stopped walking.
A gymnasium full of weapons.
He opened his mouth as he watched the blizzard blowing there.
“Your face has a lot to ask.”
“very.”
“You may ask one by one.”
Seo Jun-ho opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.
“good. Then, where is this place first?”
“It is a place created by projecting my image.”
“… … Usually, I know that warriors who died bravely go to the Knight’s Corridor.”
In response, Keith nodded lightly.
“Like you said, warriors who died bravely in Niflheim are led to the corridors.”
However, no matter how you look at it, this desolate and lonely space is far from that warm place.
When I asked with his eyes, he pursed his lips.
“… … I gave up on my side. the right to enter there.”
“what? why?”
It is the honor and goal of every warrior and knight to set foot in a glorious place after death.
There are many people who wield a sword for the rest of their lives simply with the will to go there.
“Aside from that, do you have any other questions?”
“hmm.”
Are you saying you don’t want to talk about this part?
Seo Jun-ho nodded and asked again.
“I understand that non-transcendent people need to have that kind of bond to invite others to their mental space, right?”
I vaguely remember Lord Hart saying that.
In other words, you and I aren’t even that close yet, so how did you call them?
Well, that’s what it meant.
Knock knock. Kisses fasten my cloak
I tapped the emblem on the left with my finger.
“I don’t know if you remember this.”
After staring at the emblem he pointed to for a moment, Seo Jun-ho blinked.
After a while, a small exclamation escaped my mouth.
“iced coffee!”
I definitely remember that fog-shaped emblem.
After searching through the inventory, Seo Jun-ho pulled out an emblem that looked identical.
“Are you talking about this?”
This was the token he received as a reward after passing the Knight’s Proof in the Winter Castle.
Keith nodded.
“That is the biggest reason I was able to call you.”
“I understand.”
At that time, Knight Commander Hoorn definitely said so.
If you possess this emblem, you will be qualified to meet the ‘Lord of the Winter Castle’.
“Then the next question. Why did you call me here?”
At that question, Keith shut his mouth for a moment.
Then he slowly turned his head.
“Did you see the memory I showed you?”
“As expected, that was what you showed me.”
It was weird from the start.
To say that Frost Queen showed it, the point of view was towards kissing.
“Can I ask about your impressions?”
“Feeling… …
The corners of Seo Jun-ho’s eyes slightly lowered, and melancholy passed over his pupils.
Keith, who confirmed that appearance, looked at the commander of the kite again.
“Right.”
“Wait, haven’t I said anything yet?”
“The answer is that expression is enough.”
He added another word after a while.
“… … thanks.”
” what.”
“For making that face for my lord.”
Feeling ashamed for nothing, Seo Jun-ho changed the topic while looking at the gymnasium.
“I don’t know if you know it, but I hate spinning words.”
“Me too.”
“Then I want you to tell me soon. The real reason you called me.”
After thinking for a moment, Keith opened his mouth.
“… … You’ve been by my side all my life I saw it for the first time. the lord weeps
Thing.”
I saw the kiss that became a soul leaving behind a cold body.
A woman left alone crying sadly in the frozen battlefield.
“I was already dead, so even if I wanted to attend him, I couldn’t attend him.”
Meanwhile, a light from the sky beckoned him to come.
But he couldn’t bear to leave.
Even more so after leaving the master crying alone by the side of the dead people.
“no way……?”
Seo Jun-ho’s face became serious.
“Is that why you gave up? The right to enter the corridor?”
Keith kept his mouth shut.
Confident in his appearance, Seo Jun-ho reprimanded him.
“..even if he knew, he wouldn’t be happy
I won’t.”
“Know.”
The subordinate he cherished, for himself
He threw away all the honor and honor that all knights wanted.
Now Keith Bremen is not the soul of an honorable knight.
It was just a nameless soul wandering in Nine Chun (九泉).
“But I have no regrets. Thanks to that, I was able to assist him, at least in the state of my soul.”
The only thing that can be said for being the assistant of the soul is to watch it quietly.
Seo Jun-ho asked cautiously.
“What did she do after the war ended?”
“After coming to his senses, he went straight to a being.”
“What if it was one?”
“Chaos.”
He was the ruler of the universe that Gray had told him about, imprisoning the Archduke in a layer.
“Why did you visit him?”
“To get a chance.”
“opportunity… … ?”
I turned my head and our eyes met.
Those eyes are so clear and hard that they can see through even my innermost thoughts.
“Yes, chance. A chance to get everything back.”
“Goofy… … There’s no way that would be possible.”
Seo Jun-ho laughed bitterly.
He knows that reversing everything is impossible after going back in time several times.
“That’s right. Even Chaos nailed it as impossible. But it’s not like it wasn’t very profitable.”
“Does that mean that you have gained something?”
“Yes. Because the floor you are climbing right now was made at the suggestion of your master.”
“… … uh? what?”
A stupid sound comes out of my mouth, and my thoughts stop for a moment.
Seo Jun-ho tried to understand the meaning as he put the words back together in his head.
“So, this floor is a system… … You said it came from Frost’s head?”
“To be precise, the lord just wanted to get a chance, and Chaos
It made things.”
For a moment, the sight becomes dizzy with unexpected information.
Somehow, my lips were dry.
“… … Does that mean, the frost tricked me?”
“Heh.”
Keith’s light laugh sparked sharp words.
“What is funny?”
“I apologize if I offended you. Somehow, I still seem to know my lord better than you.”
“… … what do you mean.”
“He is not a person who can deceive someone so determinedly and for a long time. He knows how to cheat at best… … It’s about me.”
Keith finished his speech in a bitter voice and picked up a wooden stick placed in the corner of the gymnasium.
Squeak, he drew a small picture on the snowy dance floor with it.
“Now, this is your master.”
“… … I can’t draw.”
“This is your master.”
“Okay, so go ahead.”
He drew something on one side that he insisted was the Frost Queen and continued.
“My lord begged Chaos to leave the 8th floor to me.”
” The reason is?”
“If you can’t undo everything, at least you want to prevent a tragedy like yours from happening elsewhere.”
Keith drew a new picture.
I couldn’t really draw this either, but it was better than before.
“floor? Could this be a floor?”
“I saw it right. Originally, this layer was supposed to create strong players and correct the balance of the lopsided universe.”
self
Keith drew something strange again.
“This is a grand duke.”
“… … Even so, why is that guy again?”
“The Archduke also waited patiently at first. No matter how human beings break through all these layers, what do they do to themselves?
Because I had the thought and confidence that I couldn’t do anything.”
Seo Jun-ho also agreed.
He didn’t think that he would be able to deal with him even if he covered all 10 floors.
“But the Archduke soon realized that something was very wrong.”
“… … Is it wrong?”
“I don’t know if you know it, but your lord is incredibly stubborn in a strange place. like a bull.”
He tapped the first floor with a stick.
“When the lord judged that attacking a floor was impossible, he boldly froze all floors.”
“… “what?”
Seo Jun-ho, eyes wide open, looked at Keith.
Right now, I can’t understand what the man in front of me is saying.
“I’m sorry, but am I misunderstanding something? The world freezes… … That never happened.”
“Of course not.”
Keith glanced at himself.
“yet. In your world.”
“But it was real on the 13,729 worlds that were already frozen.”
Seo Jun-ho’s body and face stiffened.
“That was serious even for the Grand Duke. The player must come up the floor quickly to free himself, because the lord froze the entire floor.”
“… … then what happens
ji?”
“Everything comes to an end. In a place where even time is frozen, there is no existence to attack the floor.”
In the end, the Archduke made a decision.
“He didn’t want to live in frozen time.”
The moment all floors are frozen.
He created a new parallel world and ‘resumed’ the attack.
“In a way, he gave us a new chance. Your lord probably looked that far.”
If the Archduke doesn’t create a parallel world, he’ll live forever trapped in the layer, so that’s fine.
If he creates a parallel world, it’s even better because he gets a chance to try again.
Seo Jun-ho stuck out his tongue.
“It’s vicious… …
“Smart, wise, wise.”
Keith spoke.
“After that process has been repeated hundreds or thousands of times, even the lord has no hope at this rate.
You took it all in.”
“Have you given up?”
“no. Quite the opposite. Rather, they began to intervene more actively on the floor.”
Tuk-tuk.
His stick knocked on the first floor.
“He decided to divide himself into two and send one of them down to the floor master on the first floor to directly select a human with the ‘potential’ to defeat the Archduke along with him.”
“..no way?”
“okay.”
The tip of Keith’s stick was pointed at him.
“It is you. Player Seo Jun-ho.”
