Episode 766
Weieng!
The black snow cat on Yeo Ha-ryun’s shoulder made a pleasant sound.
“It looks like my men are in ambush somewhere. Black snow cat. “Tell them to come.”
It was fortunate.
Jin Cheon-hee also added a word.
“If I find Nojin returning from delivering the letter, I will ask him to come here and delay the Rakshasa army. All you have to do is make lightning fall from the sky.”
Normally, it would take longer for the concussion to come back, but after the metamorphosis, my flight speed also increased, so I asked in advance just in case.
“Wow,”
the black cat answered as if a human was speaking, then jumped off Yeo Ha-ryun’s shoulder and ran away into the darkness.
Wow?
Hwanggu looked up as if asking what he was going to order him to do.
And this time, his face is filled with dissatisfaction as if he is going to separate himself from me again.
Jin Cheonhee sighed.
“You come with us.”
Kkkkkkkkk!
“But if it gets dangerous, we’ll go back right away.”
Hehehehe!
Hwang-gu rushed to Jin Cheon-hee in case he canceled the offer.
Yeo Ha-ryun said while looking at that scene.
“My older brother Hwang-gu is stronger than the powerhouse masters. “Such treatment is not right.”
“But Hwanggu is cute!”
Wow!
If it’s cute, it’s done.
Jin Cheon-hee thought so and followed Hwang-gu.
So I run and run towards the mine.
Finally, the three men and a dog arrived at the mine.
* * *
Upon entering the mine, Hwanggu transformed himself into the size of a large dog.
“For some reason, it looks more like a salt terrace than a mine.”
Jin Cheon-hee responded to Yeo Ha-ryun’s words.
“I’m not sure what the principle is, but this is what the natron mine in this area originally looked like.”
After saying that, Jin Cheon-hee looked around and used Yin Gong. When Jin
Cheon-
hee stamps his foot, the vibration spreads everywhere.
His elegant profile closed his eyes for a moment. When I finally opened my eyes, I walked somewhere and opened the door on the floor.
That’s right –
it’s a long tunnel there.
It was a hidden place.
“let’s go.”
Jin Cheon-hee goes down first as if giving a guide.
Yeo Ha-ryun stared at this in silence and then followed behind his brother.
There were no people to be seen inside the mine.
Unknown tools only tell us that there was a person not long ago, but there was no Rakshasa in sight.
“There is no trap. “Is this strange?”
Saying that, how much further did it go down?
The sound of singing came from inside.
“Luckily he didn’t run away.”
Yeo Ha-ryun said.
The group began to descend further and further down.
The secret passage suddenly turned into a natural cave.
Like the last hidden bidong, stalactites lined up and walking began to become more and more difficult.
The further we went in, the more difficult the road became.
Hwanggu shrunk his body a little smaller and walked after Jin Cheonhee.
And that’s the end.
A huge space appeared where a dragon could land.
A skull the size of a house was placed in the white space, and its luster was eerie.
‘It’s definitely not human… Is this a snake? But it has horns.’
The skull was half-submerged in the gray sand.
Above the head of the giant skull, someone who was either a man or a woman was singing and dancing.
Strangely enough, the dance was more elegant and splendid than that of a first-class entertainer, attracting people’s attention.
“What an eerie voice. “It will mesmerize people.”
Yeo Ha-ryun spoke without much emotion in response to Jashi’s words.
“Is this the person your brother was talking about? “It’s a spherical face.”
“huh. that’s right. “It looks like he went to say hello to you too.”
“I’ve been running away for a long time…”
At that moment, Jashi jumped forward.
“Ushaaa! How dare you make fun of Usha’s blood!!”
Before Jin Cheon-hee could stop him, the wolf’s skin swelled.
Jashi immediately got on the wolf and attempted to charge.
however.
Slurp –
the gray sand rose up as if it were alive and knocked Jashi down.
Quagwang!
“Jashi!”
Jin Cheon-hee hurriedly jumped down next to Ja-si.
On the gray sand. The gray sand continued to pulse as if alive.
Due to the shock just now, Jashi’s wolf skin lost its strength and returned to its original skin.
‘With just one blow?!’
Jashi’s combat power was not comparable to that of Jin Cheon-hee or Yeo Ha-ryun, but it was above the level of being able to slay any number of demons or rakshashas.
To be able to incapacitate such a Jashi with a single blow is truly unrivaled power.
Baekcheon-gun stopped dancing.
“Oh dear. You’ve finally come this far. “I told you not to come, but…”
“Baekcheon-gun. “What kind of scheme are you planning?”
He laughed for a while as if he was happy to hear Yeo Ha-ryun’s cool voice.
“You mean you turned the humans in this city into Rakshasha? It is not an evil plan. “They did it because they wanted to… and I just gave it to them in return.”
“You gave something in return?”
“yes! It was a fair deal♪”
At that moment, cold air overflowed around Jin Cheonhee like a wave.
Pasasak-
The same level that his teacher once showed.
The energy responds to the heart and creates harmony.
Yeo Ha-ryun got goosebumps at the sight.
‘As expected of my brother…’
It was a distant feeling that his body could not accept.
Nevertheless, Jin Cheon-hee was so angry that she could not even notice her own state.
“A fair deal?”
A sound hole leaks out in a low voice.
Jin Cheon-hee’s voice spread as if piercing the air far away.
Nevertheless, Baekcheongun is not afraid.
rather.
“Seeing is worth hearing. Now, shall we take a look?”
When Baekcheon-gun waved his hand, the sand tangled itself and formed an arch-shaped gate.
“Another illusion…”
Baekcheon-gun said as a pitch-black sword appeared in Yeo Ha-ryun’s hand.
“Oh, it’s not fascination. “You would know the seed of antipathy.”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee does not answer.
Instead, he didn’t even draw his sword. And finally, a vision began to appear inside the arch-shaped door.
Remember it.
It was the memory of Seongju.
* * *
Seongju looks in the mirror.
When he was reflected in the mirror, he looked scrawny and thin.
It was a strange sight. The mirror was decorated with precious stones and pearls and was so gorgeous, but the person reflected in the mirror was starving more than anyone else.
However, he is without a doubt the lord of Natron.
A family that has ruled this mining town for generations and a collateral lineage that continues the royal lineage.
With his thin body, he constantly struggled with documents and asked for help elsewhere.
They struggle to buy food using the natron and money they have.
But rinderpest, rinderpest, rinderpest.
Cows die and grain crops fail.
The farmers became a band of horse bandits and attacked the wagons.
When I read the letter that the food I had purchased had fallen into the hands of magic bandits, I felt like I was chewing sand.
hell.
My life dried up like a cow.
In the end, he pushed aside the letters saying he couldn’t help and the letters asking why he didn’t receive food when he sent it.
Just one of them.
A bright red letter.
Blood mission.
He read the letter. And then push it out again.
I want to eat rice.
But it couldn’t be done.
Because he is still the lord of the castle. To take responsibility for all of these people.
He went to look around the city with a frustrated heart.
Starving people were lying on the side of the road.
“Are they not even able to remove all the bodies of those who starved to death?”
“We are short on manpower. Lord Seong. Besides, the soldiers are starving.”
“In fact, people are asking to be allowed to eat the corpses of those who starved to death.”
Some people began eating human flesh amid extreme hunger. I had heard of something like that happening in the past, but I had no idea it would happen in his class.
‘A corpse, yes. It would be better if we were allowed to eat corpses… but…’
If that happens, wouldn’t we literally be no longer human?
At first, they might eat the corpses of those who starved to death, but then they might end up lusting after the corpses of the living.
Is this too much imagination?
I thought no.
“What did the shamans say?”
“They said we should sacrifice a few people and save everyone. In any case, rinderpest can make rotten beef look like new again.”
“I only need to donate a few people now, but later it could be dozens or even hundreds.”
“But aren’t people dying anyway? If everyone is going to die, you only have to choose a few.”
The soldier spoke in a desperate voice.
“Who will do it?”
The soldier could not answer that question.
However, it was obvious that he would not be in it. The soldier said this instead.
“Once… we will accept applicants. In any case, there are people who think it is better than everyone dying.”
It was strange.
Even though I have money, I can’t eat.
Isn’t this exactly the same as during the war?
‘Ha, I’m hungry.’
That guy named Kia is really scary.
At some point, all I could think about was that I was hungry.
Morality and faith are gone, just hunger, hunger, hunger.
I can’t even tell if there’s an end to this road, and I’m just struggling in hunger.
It is literally a sura unfolding in this world.
‘What should I do?’
Seongju returned home.
“Lord Seong! Seongjuniyim!”
The servants come running. They all had skinny bodies.
A castle that can’t even provide decent food.
Even though he could have run away, I still serve him with all my heart. But then they come running, sobbing.
“What’s going on?”
“Young Master… You have passed away!”
Seongju closed his eyes.
My body, exhausted from hunger, could not overcome the tantrum and collapsed.
Blink blink.
When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was my son’s body.
It was a body with only the intestines sticking out.
“They say the greatest pain in the world is the pain of starving to death. I was so unscrupulous that I sent my son like this. “I am so unjust…”
No matter how much I hugged and cried, the dead child did not come back.
I’m hungry. hungry.
Suddenly, the dead child’s dry fingers caught my eye.
It was a mark left by madness.
“Why can’t humans live without eating something?”
Instead of chewing on his son’s finger, he bit his own arm.
Where did that energy come from?
At this moment, blood was pooling in my arms.
It was agony.
Today I won the agony and maintained my humanity, but what about tomorrow?
I couldn’t guarantee it. No one could guarantee.
* * *
The scene changed.
Baekcheongun was standing at the temple of Maitreya Bridge.
And Seongju was also standing in front of him.
The skinny Seongju’s eyes were filled with only darkness. It’s only been three days since it happened.
With that alone, firearms disappeared from people’s eyes.
“Is it really possible? “A future where I can bring my son back to life and no one goes hungry.”
“it’s possible. First of all, he may not be the original son. Oh, the memories and physical structure are correct that it is my son, but if you ask me if it is him… I guess that depends on your definition♪”
Baekcheon-gun laughed and shook the bottle.
A crossroads of choice.
