< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 54 >
“Wow… you’re an amazing person. “Isn’t that right, Dad?”
“I see.”
Dan Woo-hyeon gazed at the fortune teller.
The gaze that looked down without emotion, as if nothing had happened, seemed to be pouring down on the woman without hesitation.
flinch-!
At that moment, the fortune teller trembled.
‘What is this person? ‘Why are your eyes so cruel?’
The woman took a deep breath and tried to avoid eye contact.
She is proud that she has experienced more than anyone else and has lived a difficult life. As a result, I could say I was used to the looks in people’s eyes, but I couldn’t bear to look at Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes, perhaps because I wasn’t used to them.
But work is work.
“Hmm! Sojeo… Haven’t you experienced some good things recently? Are you saying that unwanted things keep happening?”
“ah! that’s right! “Something…strange things just keep happening.”
Phew, Dansomi sighed.
At that moment, the woman smiled slightly and nodded willingly.
That’s right,
as a person, unwanted things happen one after another. It is not something that should be considered surprising, as eight-nine out of ten people are nodding their heads.
However, Dan So-mi’s expression was clearly surprised.
This is it.
Aren’t they doing this for the fun of fooling people who make that kind of expression?
The fortune teller did not look at Dan Woo-hyeon as much as possible, but instead kept her eyes on Dan So-mi and smiled.
“That’s because Sojeo is walking the wrong way. “Only by walking the true path can good things happen… and we can save ourselves from the disaster that is about to come.”
“A… disaster?”
At that moment, Dansomi opened her eyes wide.
It was obvious that he was quite embarrassed by the word disaster, and that he didn’t know what to do. However, when Dan Woo-hyeon lightly placed his hand on her shoulder, her embarrassed expression calmed down in an instant, as if it had never happened before.
“yes! Soon the sky will fall, the earth will split, and the world will be destroyed. So… our cloth….”
“Wow! But what is this puppy? “It looks very interesting.”
“Heaven and earth… eh? Go puppy?”
“Yes, this puppy.”
Just when she thought she had cornered her, the woman suddenly heard Dansomi’s words and her mouth trembled. I could say that I didn’t want the conversation to leak somewhere else, but what if I saw my own spirit and said it was a dog?
Without realizing it, my fist tightened.
“Are you a puppy? This child is Bae Baekho. “It is a spiritual creature among spiritual creatures.”
“White tiger?”
“yes! An axis of the four directions! This is Baekho! “Isn’t it sacred?”
Dansomi quietly looked at the dog called White Tiger.
It is large and has white fur with black lines drawn here and there. At first glance, it clearly appears to resemble a white tiger, but no matter how you look at it, the fact that it is a dog remains the same.
When I unconsciously reached out and tried to touch it, the sleeping thing opened its eyes and cried out.
bruise! Woof woof-! Crumble!
“….”
“….”
At that moment, Dan So-mi looked at the fortune teller.
She also broke into a cold sweat as she faced Dansomi. I tried to quickly cover the dog’s mouth, but it was impossible to repeat the sound that had already been heard.
Dansomi took a step back without realizing it.
“That’s cool. A white tiger that makes dog noises…”
“No, that’s…hoho. “This child is good at making different sounds.”
The fortune teller wanted to cover up this matter somehow. I’ve seen many people so far, but no one actually tried to touch the dog, and after much training, they made it stop barking in front of people.
But why are you barking here?
Even if you’re unlucky, it’s too bad.
“Ha, but I also have a white tiger, and it looks very… different.”
“…I beg your pardon? “What do you grow?”
“A white tiger.”
At that moment, the woman looked into one of her ears, as if she thought her hearing was wrong. However, Dan So-mi’s words that I heard a moment ago resonated clearly in my head, proving that they were not nonsense.
Without realizing it, I opened my eyes wide.
“You’re raising a tiger…?”
“yes! It’s also a pure white white tiger. ah! “There are also white cats, so there are two.”
“Baekmyo… White tiger…?”
I heard that there are people who tame and raise tigers. They live with animals in the wild, communicate with them, and make their power their own.
Those wild people from Namman over there.
However, no matter how I looked at Dan So-mi and Dan Woo-hyeon, they did not look like Nanman people. Not only was his clothing the same, but his speech was also similar to that of a Jungwon person.
Then what on earth is this woman that raises a tiger?
It’s not even just a tiger, it’s a white tiger?
At that moment, she remembered the letter she had received last time.
“Wait… you’re raising a white tiger?”
“yes! “It’s so big!”
Dan So-mi spread her arms wide and showed off her size. However, no matter how much she spreads her arms, she will not be able to fully express the size of the white tiger.
It was huge when I first saw it, but over the past ten years, it has grown even bigger, so much so that even mountain soldiers are scared and run away.
He has become a white tiger, a divine beast in name and reality.
I thought that perhaps he was still playing around in the mountains around here, harassing other mountaineers.
“okay. “Raising a white tiger…”
At that time, the woman smiled.
The sparkling eyes look as if they have discovered something. He lightly bit his lips and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
“You found the right one.”
“yes?”
“No… no… I’m really… lucky today.”
The woman was overcome by an indescribable feeling of joy.
Until I read the letter sent from the school, I thought it was impossible, but after meeting him in person and hearing that he was raising him again, I felt like I had a little more faith.
I never thought we would meet so soon.
“So, is the fortune-telling over?”
Creepy-!
At that time, I suddenly heard Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice.
The words were so insipid that I got goosebumps all over my body. The moment I barely moved my trembling eyes and looked at his face, a strong alarm went off in my head.
“Eh… yes… roughly….”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled for a moment, sighing.
He quietly took out a couple of coins from his pocket and placed them on the table. I just put it down lightly, and the table cracked with a loud crack.
“Hi?!”
I was shocked for a moment and held my breath.
My mind went blank and my whole body was shaking to the point where I couldn’t even figure out what to think.
What is this?
Who on earth is this person?
I have met many people who are called martial arts experts in their own way, but there is no one who exudes an atmosphere as fearful and bloody as this one.
Without realizing it, my shoulders slumped and I lowered my head.
“It doesn’t fit anything, but I give it to the child because it makes him happy.”
“Thank you.”
“And… I hope I never have to see you again.”
“…!?”
What did you mean by those words?
The woman could not interpret Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.
It was because I couldn’t come to my senses just by feeling his gaze and hearing his words.
So I nodded without thinking.
I don’t know what I heard or understood, but nodding my head may have just been a natural instinct to live.
“Then let’s go.”
“yes! take care.”
However, Dan So-mi, who knew nothing, just smiled brightly and waved hello.
Soon, he followed closely behind Dan Woo-hyun, who was ahead of him at a brisk pace, and spoke in a voice so low that no one else could hear.
“But he seems a bit strange.”
“person who is abnormal? “You mean that fortune teller?”
“Yes, anyone can see that it is a dog… but seeing that it is called a tiger… it seems like it has a mental problem. “Pity…”
“Haha, did it look like that?”
Dansomi sighed heavily and nodded.
Even at first glance, he didn’t look that old.
However, the woman is very worried because she appears to be not in her right mind. I’ve seen a lot of strange people, but this is the first time I’ve seen anyone go to that level.
“Next time I see you, I should buy you something delicious. “I’m sure it’s because I’m hungry.”
“Yes, if you see it.”
Dan Woohyun smiled and patted her head. The kind heart I have had since I was young still hasn’t gone away.
This means that there was not a single speck of foreign matter on the pure white paper.
Once again, I thought I raised him well.
My shoulders straightened with pride.
* * *
– Lady! Shall we chase it?
“No… just stay still for now.”
The woman left alone bit her lip angrily.
What about that guy?
An unknown ominous feeling dominates my entire body. It felt like something beyond simple fear was engulfing my brain.
Could the Four Emperors, who were said to be so strong, be like this?
no.
Since she was the one who saw the skills of the Four Emperors in person and chose her, she knows that this is not the case.
So who can you compare it to?
Is there anyone who can overwhelm people with just a few words and facial expressions?
Cult leader?
moment ha! He smiled awkwardly.
The religious leader is undoubtedly strong.
He is probably the strongest within the Church of Heaven and Earth, and is certain to be counted among the three in the Central Plains where those called the Five Emperors have disappeared.
So does the cult leader cause as much fear as he did just now?
That’s not it either.
– Jin Tae-gong has arrived. How about talking to him?
“Is that true?”
– Absolutely.
When she heard the subordinate’s words, she sighed in relief for a moment and nodded. I believe that Jin Taegong, one of the Four Emperors, will provide a somewhat understandable explanation for this phenomenon.
Among the Four Emperors, he was one of the top five powerful men, and he was also the one she trusted the most.
“Phew… good. Have you arrived nearby?”
– They say they are waiting for the priestess with news from Yegyo.
Eventually, I nodded at the words I heard and sighed. I could see that his expression had clearly changed, as if he felt a little more at ease.
There was no doubt that the name Jin Taegong gave her a sense of relief.
With his skills, any difficulty is no problem.
She was truly thinking that.
