126. Unchanging Thoughts (3)
In front of the silver advertisement, MITRON.
Typhoon warnings were issued for most of the country, so all stores near Eun Kwang-go were closed, and MITRON was no exception.
Pastry chef Ryu Jang posted a notice of closure on the web in advance, but there were a few reckless customers who came without checking it.
“It’s closed! No way!”
“See, I told you I wasn’t going to open today!”
Students who braved the typhoon to come to the store to buy bread screamed and retreated when they saw a hologram announcing the store was temporarily closed.
In particular, Bang Yun-seop, a regular customer of the store who was presumed to have come to buy cookies, stood there with a blank expression on his face and then shed a few tears.
Looking at that, it seemed like he had caused another accident and had come to the store to apologize to his girlfriend, but had come up empty-handed.
Ryu Jang, who was looking outside through the recording device installed in front of the store, thought.
‘I’ve grown since I was caught smoking heavily last year and had to run errands for Jo Eui-shin to get bread. Back then, I didn’t have the stamina or talent to withstand a typhoon like this.’
The back of Bang Yun-seop disappearing through the strong wind looked quite stable.
Ryu Jang, seeing the growth of the Eun Kwang High School students, naturally thought of Jo Ui-shin.
Jo Ui-shin sent a message today following his polite greetings.
[Jo Eui-shin] My proposal has been accepted. Please take good care of me.
A few days ago, Jo Ui-shin sent a device message to Ryu Jang saying that he had something to say regarding X, and Cidellentium responded without hesitation.
However, instead of the god of mourning, the one who appeared was Baekho, a mythical powerhouse known for his arrogant personality and power to match.
Jo Ui-shin even moved the white tiger to propose a deal.
The deal was to find out the location of a ‘Silver Coin of the Oath of Silence’.
Cidellentium asked Baekho silently, only moving his mouth through the gap in his crow mask.
―As expected, X is deeply connected to the nobles and bears. If so, the silver coin you are looking for must be the one the bear woman possesses. But do you know what kind of item my silver coin is and are proposing a deal?
-The god of mourning knows.
-I think you know that too.
-I know what Jo Ui-shin knows.
Baekho spoke in such a shameless manner that even Ryu Jang, who was quietly listening from the side, was shocked.
The pure silver coin that Jo Ui-shin requested to be found was genuine, but there were not many of them and they were quite rare.
In the case of the replicas made by the bear woman wandering among humans, the oath of silence could be broken by cutting off the tongue or using a high-rarity curse removal item, but the original was different.
The oath of silence made with the genuine article was protected by the power of the Demon King, who symbolized silence and indifference, and could never be lifted unless Sidelentium was killed.
‘Did student Jo Ui-shin really propose such a heavy deal?’
Unlike the replica version of the pure silver coin, which has a rarity of SR+++, the original version has a rarity of UR.
Because the power of the Sidelentium was so thickly imbued in it, if one wanted to, one could not only find its location, but also borrow the seal engraved on the coin and the eyes of the crow, and if one pushed themselves a little, they could become its retainer and exercise its powers.
But even though all this was possible, Cedlentium remained silent and ignored countless secrets for a long time.
Knowing this, there were many who held onto the silver coin to keep the heavy secret, even though they knew that Cedlentium might be watching.
‘In order to find the pure silver coin that Ungnyeo possesses, you have to check all the coins. In the process, a considerable amount of Sidelentium’s power will be consumed, and some of those who possess the coins will feel Sidelentium’s gaze. In addition… … .’
Whatever the secret about X, pinpointing the location of the bear girl through the silver coin was tantamount to interfering deeply with the fight between the powerful and bear tribes.
If you deal with Baekho, it is no different from siding with the powerful clans.
It was not something to say, as he was in a position where he was doing business in the clan’s sacred territory and looking around, but it seemed that Sidelentium had no intention of taking the clan’s side.
If it were the usual Sidelentium, I would have immediately rejected whatever White Tiger or Yellow Tiger offered, but I hesitated.
The reason for the hesitation was because of the condolence.
―It’s a deal I have to refuse, but it’s difficult. I really like what the God of Mercy and those who were influenced by him showed me while wearing crow masks.
Ryu Jang-do also agreed with Cedrentium’s words.
In reality, Cedrentium and the God of Death have never fought directly together, but they have spent countless hours together through the crow mask.
In addition, thanks to the god of mourning, the number of people wearing crow masks has increased.
Since there was the issue of the Demon World Guide and the Daegwanseok issue that was intertwined with Seongguk-eon, refusing this deal wouldn’t mean that my connection with Jo Ui-shin would be severed, but I wanted to agree to most deals.
―We need to find the coin that Ungnyeo is holding, but I don’t plan on just making you search for it. There is a candidate.
– A candidate for the location where the bear woman is? If there is such a thing, why didn’t the clan move sooner?
―Sooner or later, the Hojok will get X and the Black Tiger back. It will only make sense to move after that. And if Ungnyeo finds out while confirming the authenticity of the candidates, things will get complicated.
X, At the mention of Black Tiger, Ciderlentium’s heart wavered even more.
As Sidelentium had thought, the god of mercy was the one who held the key, and he had finally figured out the answer and was preparing to open the door.
Not only that, Jo-shin knew exactly what was beyond the door and what to do to get what he wanted.
―One of the eight great sages of Jinung, the Bear of Worries, is in the abyss of the Hojok, and Yongjegeon of the Dragon Clan of the Play World has been trading with Ungnyeo for a long time. Through the Bear of Worries, I confirmed the location where the scales were studied, and with Yongjegeon, I confirmed the location where the transaction took place.
Baekho said, showing a holographic map created by the God of Dreams.
Before coming here, Baekho half-threatened Yongjegeon to confirm the location of the transaction with Ungnyeo, and gave false hope to the Bear of Worry to confirm information related to Libra.
The places that the Bear of Worry spoke of were marked in the color of sewage water, and the places that Yongjegeon spoke of were marked in cyan, and they were all organized by time zone.
Jo Ui-shin selected candidates based on the completed map, including the fact that the hideout would have moved periodically, that the Ung clan was wary of the Ho clan, and that the Ungnyeo would have confused Yong Je-geon to avoid identifying the hideout.
As a result, there were three points left on the map.
Baekho spoke in an arrogant tone.
―Jo Ui-shin and I have already secured the location of Ungnyeo. The deal we are making with you is just a means to shorten the time.
Cedellentium felt for the coin’s presence, aware of its location on the map.
I only checked the general location to avoid being discovered by Ungnyeo, but it really was one of the candidates that appeared on the map.
There was a completely different value to finding out the location of the bear girl and reporting it to the local leader than to confirming the location of the bear girl that was already secured.
At this point, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to agree to a deal depending on the price.
-Okay. If the nobleman accepts my conditions, I will agree to the deal.
-Are you proposing conditions to the local clan rather than the god of mourning?
-If you don’t like it, I’ll suggest it to Jo Ui-shin.
-The nobles will take charge.
Baekho smiled brightly as he answered like that.
I couldn’t figure out why he was laughing, but it seemed like he was laughing because he was thinking of the god of mourning.
At that time, the god of mourning in the dream grumbled and said, “You’re not the chief. You’re not in a position to say that you’ll take care of things as you please. Just tell him that you can make a deal with me.” This made Baekho laugh, but the two people watching him didn’t know the reason.
Baekho said, his smile quickly fading away.
-Once you get the Black Tiger back, Jo Ui-shin will tell Hwang-ho the conditions you mentioned. Provide information depending on the results.
-Just wait and see. You’ll see something interesting soon.
And a few days later, the baron responded to Cedlentium’s offer.
Even though he had set quite heavy conditions, Hwang Ho agreed without even negotiating.
Jo Ui-shin seemed prepared to agree to the deal in case the clan refused, but things went as Sidelentium, Ryu Jang, and Baekho had expected.
After providing the location of the bear girl to the nobleman, Cidellentium looked at the situation through the eyes of the crow engraved on the silver coin.
The moment the bear woman’s trap exploded, most of the items exploded, but the pure silver coin that Cedellentium was examining was unharmed.
– I will keep the pure silver coin and accompany Ungnyeo.
“If you do something like that, won’t the bear woman notice?”
―It’s an item that Ungnyeo has owned for thousands of years, so it’s strongly imbued with her energy, so it’ll be fine.
Although the deal with the nobles had already been concluded, Cidellentium had no intention of taking his eyes off them.
And soon after, sparks of supernatural powers flew out from around the Cedrentium.
This was what happened when the crow that served as the eyes of Cedrentium disappeared.
– That’s too bad. This is all I can see up close.
“Did you get caught by the bear girl?”
―No, I sacrificed my followers because a dangerous attack came at Ungnyeo. It wasn’t a blow that could destroy a UR-class item, but since it was a hastily put together followers, they couldn’t hold out.
“Did you intervene? Protecting the bear girl wasn’t part of the contract.”
Ryu Jang’s expression became clouded.
It would have been better for me to have been discovered by the bear woman.
There was a big difference between being caught and eliminated while watching and being sacrificed while intervening.
“If you continue like this, you might lose the ‘bystander’ part of your modifier.”
Ryu Jang said worriedly.
In recent times, there has been an increase in the number of cases of Sidelentium interfering with the present world.
This was the case when Ryu Jang moved at Morian’s request and touched Lia Fáil.
In the case of the rear arm, it was not moved directly by Sidelentium but by Ryu Jang’s ability, so Sidelentium’s modifiers would not be affected, but this intervention was somewhat heavy.
-My contractor, my philosophy and thoughts have not changed one bit.
As if to appease Ryu Jang’s worries, Cidellentium moved her lips more slowly than usual and spoke silently.
―I promised to remain silent and watch over all the actions of those who swear by the pure silver coin engraved with my power. However, Ungnyeo only copied my coin and did not use it for the oath. Strictly speaking, she is not the object of silence and watch.
To Ryu Jang’s ears, those words sounded like sophistry.
That may be true, considering that the power of the Cedrentium has not weakened yet, but it was unclear how long this kind of sophistry would last.
The words of Cedrentium continued for so long that it was hard to believe that he was the Silent Demon King.
―As I expected, Jo Eui-shin found X. This time, it would be more accurate to say that it was a tribute to Jo Eui-shin rather than a bonus for the deal or an intervention for Ungnyeo.
With those words, Cedlentium fell silent again.
At that moment, suddenly, fireworks exploded around the Cedrentium, and the supernatural powers sporadically flowed out.
Pavabavat!
Ryu Jang opened his eyes wide.
It was an incomparable amount of supernatural power compared to the one that just disappeared.
It seemed as if the eyes of countless crows had suddenly disappeared, or that a phenomenon unknown to Ryu Jang had occurred.
“What’s going on?”
―In fact, I had placed a crow retinue on standby far away from that hideout, or to be exact, on the road connecting the territory of the noble clan and the hideout of the bear clan. They were all destroyed just now.
Ryu Jang thought, ‘As expected.’
Even if the deal with the nobles fell through, Cidellentium was eager to see this and seemed to have prepared thoroughly for it.
“Is this something done by a nobleman or a bear?”
―The Ho clan hasn’t arrived yet. Considering their location, it’s more likely that they’re the Bear clan than the Ho clan. However, Jinwoong Palseon doesn’t have the luxury of dealing with my followers right now, and the other Bear clans probably don’t either.
Sidelentium poured out his supernatural powers as if he were drawing pictures in the air.
Then, just before the crows were destroyed, the last sights they saw unfolded.
Cedlentium, who was slowly examining this, moved her lips.
―It seems like there was a reason Jo Ui-shin was in a hurry.
