87 – Purple. (2)

Squeak.

Only the sound of water echoes in the thick darkness.

People standing in a line on both sides of the aisle, expressionless.

At the end, the man sitting on the huge chair quietly took a sip of the tea.

Took.

The teacup just touched the floor, and the bet thuds in the space.

Eventually, the teacup crumbles.

The man quietly revealed his presence and opened his mouth at the same time.

“The Shaanxi branch was wiped out.”

Someone answered the man’s question.

“That’s right.”

“Who was in charge?”

“It is bloody.”

“Well… .”

The man quietly closed his eyes.

be bloody

As far as I can remember, it was clearly a peak martial artist who had reached a mature level.

It was a person who did not reach the Hwagyeong and stayed at the same level for a long time, but his proficiency must have been that high.

On the contrary, he was a person who belonged to the main palace, but was demoted due to his ignorant disposition and attitude.

Originally, it would have remained even after his head was cut off, but his loyalty to the palace and his military power were recognized and he took the position of branch manager even after being demoted.

It’s not going to be an easy level.

“Did the plum line move?”

“It doesn’t seem so.”

“Hey, that old man in the back room couldn’t have been that quick.”

I don’t know if it was the Maehwaseon of the past, but now it’s just a toothless tiger.

“The volcanic side liquid isn’t that important, but… . Trust is a bit difficult.”

There were a lot of other things, so it wasn’t really that important.

That’s why I entrusted it to an ignorant person like a bloodthirsty.

At least there seems to be progress on the job, so I thought it was okay, so I also sent about trust.

It was a mistake.

It would have been better to send the warriors of the main palace.

‘It’s useless, I’ve only increased my vigilance.’

Even if they wanted to bring in another member, seeing that all of them failed in the end, what remained was faith.

“A trace.”

“… When I tried to check the branch, the volcanic wave had already arrived, so I couldn’t see it properly. However, judging from the lack of signs of battle… .”

It means that a small number of people, or alone, organized the branch. in one moment too.

The written story states that the bloody enemy died outside the branch, but even so, dozens of people must have been deployed in the branch.

‘But that number is annihilated in an instant.’

Even if the level of those deployed was low, it was a different story if it happened overnight.

Not to mention, there are no signs of a battle.

‘Is it that even the King of Darkness appeared?’

The owner of an all-night shooter who says he can kill anyone he wants.

Or, unless you are a master of another pistil that is proportional to it, such a method of slaughter is impossible.

“Who did you say killed the bloody enemy?”

“Currently, it seems to be hidden in the volcanic wave, so confirmation is delayed, but the information I found is that it is a late index.”

“Late index?”

A mastered climax martial artist only to a late Ji-soo?

It was one of the strangest words I’ve heard today.

If it’s a volcano, maybe it’s a sword dragon?

The genius of Hwasan who stole the nickname Geomryong from Namgung’s blood relative.

At best, I heard that he would not have exceeded the terms and conditions.

If so, has it already reached the level?

‘Even if it’s fast, it’s too fast.’

I don’t think it’s a position to pay attention to yet, but if so, it seemed to be a little noticeable.

“Let’s find out as soon as possible.”

“All right.”

“God is… .”

If it is clear that there is faith in the bosom of the volcano, there will be many problems to catch it right away.

Even so, it was necessary to hold on to faith.

The surest way would be for the princess to move, but she couldn’t leave her seat right now.

“Send a rake. I order you to capture it as quietly as possible.”

“All right. I will order you to depart immediately.”

The one who received the order quietly disappeared, and the princess opened her eyes in the dark.

Light purple eyes look down at the crowd.

Those who bowed their heads trembled at that gloomy gaze.

‘It’s a little bit until the last piece now.’

There were only a few steps left to reach the desired destination.

All for your own sky.

The man closed his eyes again as the dark clouds gradually thickened.

******************

After another day, I was finally able to move my body.

The shallow pain remained, but compared to the sharp pain I felt when I came to my senses, it was a tickling level.

He said that there was almost no magic power left in his body, and that his body was almost completely healed.

Soon after Shinui told me that it was okay to go back to the dorm.

The plum line has arrived.

“I’m sorry… .”

Mae Hwa Seon’s face showed a variety of emotions.

It would not be common for a long-time master of one school to be so immersed in somberness.

“Fine.”

All I could say was this.

In fact, even if the volcanic faction was involved, it was not an act done for them.

“… I heard from Tae-eui that my physical condition has improved a lot, is that correct?”

“Fortunately, I heard that.”

“Then, there are many more options available to you… .”

Is this what I was talking about last time?

If that was the case, I was thinking of taking it.

Even the body is weak.

“I heard you weren’t seriously hurt. It’s fortunate, because it’s so sad to see other people’s precious children die on this land.”

How to say, it was fortunate, but the feelings contained in the words did not seem to be speaking only to me.

I didn’t feel like asking what was going on, so I kept my silence.

I’ll have to ask Youngpoong again later.

“Even though a foreigner was hurt in another gate, I am sorry that I rarely show my face as a long-time member of a sect… .”

“… no.”

There are no injuries, and compensation will be provided, much less the treatment received from the first clinic in Jungwon.

It wasn’t really a problem.

And I had something else to ask for.

I was thinking of going back and talking about this later.

‘… It’s a bit of a problem that the days were delayed because of fainting.’

I’ve been stranded for too long

I tried to go to the end of the shoe exhibition because of Gu Ryeong-hwa, but Gu Ryeong-hwa announced his intention not to return to Sega.

I wanted to leave around yesterday.

I’ve already been stranded for four more days.

Come to think of it, isn’t it about time you’re doing a shoe show?

Sounds like the right time to hear.

“Jang Moon-in, is it during the Shoe Show?”

At my question, Mae Hwa Seon’s eyebrows tremble slightly.

“Bondy… . The time is right now, but I’ve been putting it off for a few days because I have some work, I’ll start soon.”

I hid my surprise in the words of Maehwaseon.

The few big events of the Volcano Faction have been postponed?

‘It seems like a pretty big deal.’

It reminds me of hearing that there was a case of literary men going missing.

Is it because of that?

There may be other things, but that’s all I know for now.

“I’m sorry this old man interrupted you while you were resting. Rest in peace. I’ll be back next time.”

“no. You say you feel better, so I’ll see you next time.”

Mae Hwa Seon smiled a little at my answer.

Even he looked a bit tired.

“If you feel better, go outside and see someone waiting for you.”

“You mean me?”

Maehwaseon, who spoke like that, went outside, and I also stood up at Maehwaseon’s words.

who’s waiting

Namgoongbia or Wiseolah… .

It might not have been because they told me to stop coming, since they usually visit me often.

Could it be Youngpoong then?

‘It’s a little uncomfortable for a man to visit, but who will it be? .’

I inadvertently stopped my inner thoughts.

Shin Noya doesn’t exist now.

Thinking like that made me feel uncomfortable.

‘… Where did you go?’

They treated it as a demon, but it was sad to see it disappear.

It was an incomprehensible, vague feeling.

He was just a noisy old man who came with volcanic energy.

‘Is this also the influence of demons?’

Since the demonic energy that suddenly began to circulate around the body calmed down, did Shinnoya disappear in connection with that?

‘It’s abrupt to come and leave on its own.’

… Should this also be called an ancestral decree?

Or maybe he just fell asleep.

I was hoping for the latter, if possible.

I came out of the building four days after waking up.

Aside from being early in the morning, where else are you?

It seems to be right that it is inside the volcanic wave, but it was the first building I had ever seen.

Is it medical?

“oh.”

“Well?”

As I was looking around, I heard a sound from somewhere.

Moving your gaze, you see something behind the tree.

Could it be that it is hidden?

“What are you doing there?”

“…”

It was Gu Ryeong-hwa who showed off an unknown presence behind the tree.

Since he’s making an ambiguous expression, as if he didn’t know he’d find out about this, someone pushes the guryunghwa away.

“Ugh… !”

It was Namgoongbia with a bandage on one arm.

Gu Ryeong-hwa was still hesitant as if he had something to say.

“what’s the matter?”

“… What.”

When I ask, he averts his gaze.

Namgoongbia approached Guryeonghwa and stroked her back.

At Namgoongbia’s touch, Gu Ryeong-hwa coughed several times before speaking.

“… Hey, are you okay?”

“what?”

“… Are you okay!”

I was a little startled by the sudden scream.

why are you screaming all of a sudden

“… it’s okay.”

Rather, it was Namgungbia, not me, who suffered the most external injuries.

“… yes.”

Saying that, Gu Ryeong-hwa may not be able to stand it, but she tries to run away, but Namgoong-bia catches her.

“Eh, sister.”

“no.”

It was called something sad, but Namgoongbia’s attitude was firm.

I just watched in silence.

It was because I didn’t know what to say.

Soon after, Gu Ryeong-hwa stood in front again as if he had given up.

The trembling shoulders were impressive.

“go… .”

It’s a rat-like voice.

I couldn’t hear it at all, so I wanted to write it down and listen to it.

“… Go, thank you!”

As if waiting for that moment, the old-fashioned screaming screams.

You could have screamed like that.

Perhaps it was embarrassing to say it, Gu Ryeong-hwa suddenly runs away and disappears.

This time, Namgoongbia also did not catch Gulinghua.

“… Did you hold on to this?”

When I asked, Bia Namgoong nodded slightly. Feeling embarrassed, I scratched my neck lightly.

Thank you, but… .

It wasn’t necessary.

Before hearing that, I have something to say to Gu Ryeong-hwa first.

Still, Gu Ryeong-hwa’s words must have been sincere.

I knew what Namgoongbia was thinking.

“thanks.”

So I was able to spit it out.

It’s probably the first time I’ve said it to Namgoongbia in my entire past life.

Upon hearing my words, Namgoongbia stiffened, perhaps because she heard something unexpected.

Are you that surprised?

“Why are you doing that… .”

I’m trying to talk to her because she seems to be in a strange state, but Bia Namgoong suddenly runs up the mountain.

Something seemed very urgent.

“Where… . Come before we eat!”

I shouted out belatedly, but did you really hear it?

He even had a bandage on his arm, so he probably wasn’t going to practice.

And what to say, Namgoongbia’s ears were stained red as she ran away.

******************

Returning to the dorm after a long time, to my surprise, there was a swordsman.

When I saw it, I was shocked without even realizing it.

The swordsman who was sweeping the broom looked at me and lowered his head.

“I’m sorry I haven’t been able to work for a while, young master.”

“… that’s fine I heard that the head of the family allowed it, so did you finish the job well?”

“Yes… . Thanks to the consideration of the head of household, I finished it well. I heard that you were also injured, are you feeling well?”

“Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously hurt.”

Sword Zone smiled slightly as if he was happy with the answer.

After telling me to suffer, I moved on.

No matter how you look at it, Geomson was a difficult being.

Maehwaseon, who is said to be on the same level as Geomzon, feels somewhat comfortable.

Still, with the swordsman back, fortunately, I felt like I could start preparing to return to Sega.

‘Where did Wisul-ah go?’

Usually, as soon as I noticed it, he ran to greet me as soon as I arrived, but this time he didn’t come out.

‘Did I get caught by Hongwa?’

Usually in that case, maybe it’s because I didn’t show up even though I wanted to.

I thought I was doing well, so I decided to go into my room first.

It was time to properly organize what to do after returning to Sega.

******************

Geomson looked at the back of Guyangchun as he entered the room.

‘Something strangely changed.’

Arriving in Shaanxi and seeing Guyangcheon a few days later, something has changed.

This time in an unusual direction, not sure if that’s a good direction or not.

The energies that dare not exist in one body were united and intertwined like a ring.

It is a part that even the swordsman of the world cannot understand how it is maintained.

Last night, I heard from Mae Hwa-seon that Gu Yang-cheon killed Sapa of the Black Night Palace.

I also heard that the opponent’s realm was not low.

From the swordsman’s point of view, I thought that Guyangchun was not strong enough to defeat a warrior of that level right away.

Could this also be wrong with your own eyes?

It was too much growth to be called Hohyeop’s son.

‘It’s really heterogeneous.’

I already know that the sphere itself is a place that has many things, but even so… .

“grandfather.”

The swordsman who suddenly heard Wiseol-ah’s voice turned around.

Behind the swordsman’s back stood Weiseolah.

She hadn’t seen her granddaughter in a long time, but when she came back, Wiseol-ah had a thoughtful face.

Even so, she is a pretty and cute granddaughter of her own.

Geomzon put on a pleasant smile.

“Okay, what happened?”

“grandfather… .”

“Why?”

Wiseol-ah hesitates at the question of the sword master, and then speaks up.

“… I want to learn martial arts.”

Took!

At Wiseolah’s words, the broom that Swordsman was holding fell powerlessly to the floor.
