“That’s it. If that’s what the customer wants, then the answer is that we don’t get involved any more.”

“customer… … .”

Come to think of it, Woong-jeong was like that. I’m a guest, I’m here to meet you.

They knew who I was.

“What could be difficult? Jinseon-nim is the ‘dragon’ who has endured the longest. I can read simple celestial gi (天機).”

“Cheonggi (天機)… … . Are you saying that you can even read the future?”

“Not similar. It’s too vague to describe it accurately, but it’s okay.”

Jinseon can read the future?

So you’re saying you know what’s going to happen next?

You know that and leave it alone? Is it none other than Jinseon?

“Sir, I understand what you are thinking, but maybe it’s not as simple as you think?”

Woongjeong shrugged and started to move. This is the direction Arietta and Eleanor left.

Now that the topic of Eolchu Mari is over, it seemed that he was going to talk about the rest while moving.

“It’s not such a convenient thing to be able to see the exact future.”

“Then what, fragmentary pieces? Is this how you feel?”

Well, there is no way we can see such a definite future.

Even the information I knew right away was the flow, there was nothing to know all the small things.

In the end, what matters is the big flow.

“Did you tell me? that’s stupid It’s not even the future in the first place. not the past. The heavenly gi always changes, and even Jinseon-nim can only read a few of them accurately.”

“Is that so… … .”

“So, it is unusual. It was because I was able to pick out the flow of the heavenly spirit and read that you were coming.”

guess goes

Perhaps my existence is in a very special position.

Even if I am not special, I can be proud that the existence of my country is a special event.

“Is the question over?”

“Yes, I think that should be enough.”

“yes?”

Woong-jeong smiled meaningfully and soon started walking down the road with light steps.

“That’s it.”

“… … Aren’t you asking? Why was I heading for Mt. Bongrae?”

“Oh oh. Then, after saying that, can I ask you one more time? so? What are you here for?”

“I’m here to pick up our immature head of the academy over there.”

Of course, that’s not the only purpose. However, since it didn’t happen right away, and it wasn’t something that could be avoided by explaining it in advance, there was no need to doubt it.

So, right now, all you have to do is explain the superficial purpose of coming to pick up Tia.

“Has there ever been a person with such a high position in Penglai Mountain? Uhm, well, it might be because there are a lot of people who come in because the world is annoying.”

“… … Tiamat-nim.”

There is no doubt that Tia went to Mt. Bongrae.

However, Ung-jeong did not seem to know that Tiamat was the head of the academy.

Well, it might be because it’s a place away from the world.

“Was that real?”

Ungjeong blinked his eyes as if he couldn’t believe my words, and then spoke in a trembling voice.

“Nonsense… … . ‘That’ Tiamat who beat and burned everything when he was wrong? Could you do anything other than destroy?”

hey Look at Tia’s image.

There is no such thing as Narak.

You shouldn’t say anything to me, but you should be good to yourself, right?

“I thought I was just saying it in moderation because I was embarrassed that I had lived an unemployed life outside?!”

“How bad was the image of the head of the academy?”

The more I hear the rumors about what happened to Goetia, the more I am surprised. It is said that in his youth he lived up to his reputation as a tyrant, but was that enough?

After all, there was a time when the country was set on fire. At this point, I just want to live a consistent life.

“I see. If it’s been that long, even a dragon will change… … .”

“Listening to what you say, it doesn’t seem like your personality has changed much from before.”

Woong-jeong muttered something vaguely as if recalling the past.

Having lived for a long time, it seems that he inevitably knew Tia well.

“No, it would have changed. Even if the outward appearance hasn’t changed.”

Ungjeong patted my chest and smiled.

“Deep down, it must have changed.”

“… … Is that so?”

“Otherwise, there is no way I would have chosen the path with humans.”

It seems that there are memories that I don’t know about, that only those who have lived for hundreds of years can know about.

Actually, I had my doubts. Why did Tia sacrifice herself for the world?

She was a tyrant who destroyed the country just by passing it down in tradition, and she was a being who prioritized destruction if she went wrong.

And above all, she had something to absolutely protect in this world.

her family.

Sister Spina.

But I made ＜Skientia＞ despite such risks.

I don’t know why.

If I ask her about Tia’s past, will she answer?

I do not know.

I thought I learned a lot through the game. Surprisingly, I knew very little.

“It seems like you arrived after thinking about it later, so straighten your expression first. Because I don’t want to be misunderstood.”

“ah… … . Yes.”

As I stood there blankly, Woong-jeong tapped my shoulder and pointed his finger across the forest.

There, along with my party, there was a figure of Nokjeong sitting with his head bowed in a normal state.

“Oh, as expected Mr. Nokjeong, I was worried that he is over 500 years old, but he hasn’t died that much yet?”

“Woongjeong, your age is well over 400, so how long are you going to be like a child?”

Nokjeong had the appearance of a young man, but his tone of voice felt quite old, perhaps because he was older.

“Don’t just say that you are copying Jinseon. Just talk like you normally do.”

“It hurt… … . I should have stopped it.”

But I guess it wasn’t.

The character is a little different from what I knew. Maybe I should have expected it from the time Ung-jeong had a sad attitude.

Rather than a mysterious guru, they are more like a man and an older sister who came out to drink in the neighborhood.

It’s not hard, so it’s comfortable, but something, something… … .

A little bit, I feel like my illusion is broken.

“I should have looked into it a bit more. I was still looking, but the old man entered.”

“Ugh, isn’t it the virtue of monks to act first in such an emergency situation?”

Woong-jeong started to touch Nok-jeong, who was sitting in a lofty pose, with her toes, as if feeling pathetic.

“It would have been if it was a real emergency. Yes, it was an emergency. Does it hurt from being stabbed? here! here!”

“Ah! What is this crazy girl doing?!”

The two looked like siblings. They are real siblings too.

Then you can’t help it.

Even if they accumulate virtue for hundreds of years, aren’t brother and sister born to kill each other?

Maybe that’s an ordinary day.

“Did you apologize to the kids?”

“I did. No, but who would think that the saintess and Cistus are colleagues?”

“Anyway, you’re saying useless gossip? If you’re wrong, just say it’s wrong!”

“It hurts bitch!”

Woong-jeong rebukes Nok-jeong by focusing on her wounds.

It looks like blood is pouring out of Nokjeong’s wound again, but it will be okay.

If you become a master, that kind of thing will be fine. So it’s not going to play?

“Kuhm! I couldn’t see it. Welcome young friends. I’m Ungjeong, and the pure white over there… … Now, the man with a bit of red is green.”

Ungjeong introduced herself and Nokjeong in a relaxed manner.

The party introduced themselves in their own way at the words of Nokjeong and Woongjeong.

Most of them were friendly, and if I had to question them, they looked like they were suspicious of Marie.

“But that pure white… … Why is the man in red injured?”

She didn’t seem to be aware that she had stabbed Nokjeong.

She had been confused until just now, but it seemed that the memory of that time itself had been blown away.

“I did something stupid. Since it’s my dark history, can you please stop touching it?”

Fortunately, Nokjeong didn’t say much to Marie either because it was his fault or because he was considerate.

Rather, it was an attitude of encroachment. Still, a guru seems to be a guru.

“Now then, let’s get straight to the point, shall we? once you guys How were you going to come to Penglai Mountain?”

While Nokjeong was smiling bitterly, it was Ungjeong who started talking.

“I know the location, so I tried to find the way by looking at the map.”

“Usually it will take a month if they come like that.”

“Well, I heard that.”

If the Samdocheon is a road that makes everyone wander, Mt. Bongrae is a little different.

If the person heading there is a human, not a monster, then if you just walk, you will arrive at Mt.

And monsters can arrive too. It’s just that the road is too far and it will take a long time.

The monsters who reached Bongnae Mountain in this way become monks by shaking off the yogi that they have been harboring since their lives.

Right now, [Baegun Geosa] Nokjeong and [Cheong-o Geosa] Ungjeong are such beings. They could be regarded as immortals who transcended monsters.

At that point, he could have lived hundreds of years.

“Did you really try to move so carelessly?”

“I do not know.”

It could have arrived relatively soon.

Because [Yowang] started to move. The barrier of Mt. Bongrae will also weaken.

Not only would we not be lost for a long time, but Jin-seon, who sensed the crisis, would have taken the initiative to find us.

Above all, don’t I have [contemplation] as well? Wouldn’t it be possible to see through the barrier if it was made only with Jinsun’s pure mana, not Yogi?

“Hmm… … ? I think there is something… … . well, that’s okay If you don’t want to say it, as I said before, I won’t force it. Because you are a guest.”

absolute faith.

It seemed to them that they knew what kind of dragon Jinseon was without even asking.

“And since that method doesn’t seem to have worked very well. You guys have already reached the mountain.”

“Yes… … ?”

I was puzzled by Ungjeong’s words, but the moment I realized the meaning, I got goosebumps.

Is this already Mt. Bongrae?

[Contemplation – Activate]

I can not know.

I never know.

To my eyes, it looks nothing but an ordinary forest.

Was I underestimating the dragon too much? No, even so, this is nonsense. My [Contemplation] can see the flow of mana itself.

If there was a barrier spread here, there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize it.

“aha? Was it those eyes?”

“… … .”

At that time, Woong-jung looked me in the eyes as if he had found something interesting.

There was not the slightest hesitation in front of [Contemplation] activated to this extent.

It’s not about having good courage or being that competent.

“You know about these eyes.”

She is already accustomed to [Contemplation]. Then who?

“I saw something similar. If you have the eyes to read the heavenly spirit.”

If you have the eyes to read the celestial spirit, there is no doubt. The target she is talking about is Jinseon.

Jinseon [Contemplation]. No, even if I can’t, I have eyes similar to his.

“indeed… … .”

Then it is understandable that I couldn’t see through this barrier.

There was no way that a dragon-like being would have left the problems that were visible to him right away.

He probably even suppressed the flow of mana through some method.

Move the river without touching the waterway. It’s absurd nonsense, but… … .

Considering that the opponent was a dragon, there would have been nothing I couldn’t do.

“Well, it’s only natural that you humans can’t find your way, so don’t be discouraged. In fact, it was difficult for us to point out the road until Jinseon-nim told us about it.”

“Nope.”

[Contemplation – Activate]

Jinseon’s skill is absurd.

That’s what a dragon is. There is no way humans can see through it.

“It shouldn’t be natural.”

It was a flow that even Kang Chul, the same dragon, could not notice. In some ways, it could be natural.

[Contemplation – Activate]

But I’m different.

If I think about my purpose, it should be different. Tia’s death could not be prevented if he had to admit that the opponent was a dragon and resign.

I’m step by step You have to grow to the point where you can approach a dragon.

“Wait a minute… … . You now?!”

The amount of information received by the eyes is already dizzying.

Trees do not look like trees and rocks do not look like rocks.

It feels like trying to calculate everything in the world.

Something flows from your nose. My head is throbbing endlessly.

But there was a lot of achievement.

“found.”

Just one step.

with all my might

in a way that is nothing short of expedient.

In a foolish way that may have no practicality and no meaning.

“Did you see Penglaisan on your own?!”

“It is a beautiful mountain.”

I stepped into dragon realm.

* * *

“What?!”

The mind awakens with a stabbing pain. The film is cut.

I guess I was too busy. This is the first time [Contemplation] has been activated this far.

Perhaps this was the view of the world that Oz and Janus were looking at.

They are crazy freaks.

“Ugh… … .”

It’s a pain you’ve never felt before.

It wasn’t as much as the bones in his body were shattered by Gigantes’ attack at the Vatican, but this was a terrible feeling in its own way.

Pinpoint hurts in two places, so the pain is rather vivid.

And above all.

“I can’t see… … .”

I should have opened my eyes, but I couldn’t see them. It doesn’t feel like being blinded.

something is covering my eyes

eye patch? No, is this a bandage? I don’t know what it is, but it’s frustrating.

“Ah must. It’s still too early to remove the bandage, so do it a little longer.”

“… … .”

The direction the voice came from was right next to it. It wasn’t popular, and it was closer than I thought, but it was surprisingly not wary.

Rather, what is surprising is my attitude.

How long has it been since I, who fell asleep every night worrying about an assassin, stopped being wary of strangers?

Even though I already knew it in my head, I thought I had come to a situation where I couldn’t help it, but the world is still something to live and see.

“My name is Oz Quo Vadis. If it’s not rude, may I ask for your name?”

Be as polite as possible.

You know who your opponent is.

Not at the level of guessing, I just knew. But I asked

I don’t know why, but it seemed like it had to be.

“You are a well-mannered child. How could Tia, the careless Ahae, raise such a student?”

“… … .”

Tia didn’t really raise it. Rather than being an educator, she is simply a being who reigns over an educational institution.

That alone can reassure some, but… … . More often than not, it feels like a double-edged sword to someone as suspicious as I am.

“Nice to meet you. I’m just an ordinary old lady living here, so I don’t have to be so rigid.”

he humbled himself He insisted that he was not special.

But at the same time, he was a being with a clear sense of self.

“However, I also have a precious name given to me by someone… … .”

The opponent is a person who claims to be a resident, not the owner of Mt.

I’ve endured the longest time in my life, and maybe the loneliest existence.

“… … I want you to call me ‘Jinsun’.”

[White Dragon] Jinseon

he greeted me
