127. Rumors in the Storm (7)
I was very worried that Little Hyangrok might have been hurt in the typhoon, but fortunately, he looked very healthy.
Rather, he looked more energetic than usual.
“It’s not often that I get a chance to make an elixir for the powerful clans of the mythical world, including the leader, Hwangho! I thought I wouldn’t have a chance like this because rumors were going around that something big had happened among the powerful clans, but I came in a hurry because I got a request.”
Unlike Hyang-rok, whose face grew brighter the more he spoke, the shadow cast over Hwang Ji-ho’s face grew larger.
Before long, rumors seemed to have spread among the Jin tribe, including Hyangrok.
It was a natural course of action, as the powerful clan actively tried to inform people of the existence of the Black Tiger and the full story of what happened at that time.
‘Hyangrok, who seemed to have no interest in anything other than experiments, seems to be concerned about this rumor.’
Rumors are rumors, but it was an opportunity to feed elixir to Hwang Ji-ho, the leader of the powerful clan, and Cheong-ho, the founder of Taeho-kwon, so he couldn’t miss it.
Even among the aristocrats, there were those who came to this annexed Hanok building, which was mainly used as a clinic when Hyangnok came, so as not to miss this moment.
“White tiger, black tiger. Why did you come?”
“Haven’t you come to see it every time?”
“I came because the white tiger came! It would have been nice if the red tiger had come too.”
If you are a true friend, it is a sight you cannot miss.
It was amazing that the white tiger came here again even though he could figure out the situation through me.
Of course, it was understandable that the good black tiger was very curious at the time.
Cheong-ho, who was still unaware of the misfortune that was to come, seemed to be thinking, ‘Are they really bored?’
Since I have no intention of playing around like Hwang Ji-ho and saying things like “I’ll give you some Bae-suk-ne Mane”, I decided to prepare some sweet food for Cheong-ho in advance.
“Today’s request is a custom elixir for Hwang Ho-rang and Cheong-ho, right? Since you’ve come all this way, I’d like to make one more elixir as a service!”
Hyangrok’s words were met with mixed feelings.
Suddenly, Hwang Ji-ho’s eyes lit up, and the white tiger, black tiger, and I, who had been letting our guard down, became tense.
I understand that it is difficult to place large orders due to issues such as the power of the incense burner, time, and concentration, rather than the amount of money, so I don’t understand why they are suddenly showing such unnecessary service spirit.
“I welcome such service, Hyangrok. I will consider it an additional request and pay the full cost. Choose whoever you want.”
“Wow! Really? That’s great. The intelligent test subjects just started a factional fight, so we wanted to double the recording equipment for more precise observation. I’ll take it without hesitation!”
Maybe it was because he was running around in the rain so excitedly that Hwang Ji-ho turned into a water ghost.
Hyangrok must have chosen his target in advance because he immediately targeted the target and struck with lightning.
Hyangrok spoke to Heukho, who was half-hiding behind Baekhogun.
“I wonder what the condition of the Jin tribe’s body will be like after its existence was erased and it returned. I’m also curious about the effects of the elixir. Black Tiger, drink my elixir!”
“What? I don’t like it!”
“Congratulations, Black Tiger. Not everyone can take the custom elixir of Hyangnok.”
“If it’s that precious, the tiger should eat more!”
The black tiger was terrified.
I also wanted to feed Black Tiger something good, but I wondered if it was really necessary to feed it to him when he hated it so much.
But if you feed the elixir to Black Tiger, he will become healthy and Hyangrok will be happy, so wouldn’t the result be good?
I decided to help Black Tiger at least drink the less tasteless elixir.
“The black tiger is healthy, so there is no need to use any poisonous elixir.”
“uh?”
Wouldn’t a less toxic elixir taste better?
I was proud that I had managed to preserve Black Tiger’s sense of taste, but Black Tiger had a look of betrayal on his face.
Hyangrok looked at me and asked.
“Really? Black Tiger seems to be healthy. What about the God of Mercy?”
“I’m healthy too… … .”
“The god of mourning is not healthy.”
A white tiger suddenly barged in.
I wondered why that tiger was like that.
Seeing that he wanted to feed me the elixir so badly, it was clear that he shared my thoughts but did not have a sense of taste.
“Then I will feel the pulse of the spirit of the deceased.”
“If we’re going to do it, how about we prepare an elixir for Jo-ui-shin as well? As Baek-ho said, Jo-ui-shin’s health is not good.”
Suddenly, even my mother-in-law started talking nonsense.
I thought about running away, but Hyangrok had already grabbed my wrist with his small hand and started feeling my pulse, so I couldn’t shake him off.
Hyangrok said, feeling the pulse.
“The spirit of the deceased took elixir often, didn’t he? It’s better to take it a little at a time.”
Hyangrok was a wise pharmacist, so he did not fall for the white tiger’s trick!
But the small joy quickly disappeared at Cheongho’s innocent words.
“If you leave a gap, you can eat it later.”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
Hyangrok then said to me, who was out of her mind, ‘Are you going to find a higher being who can look after your left eye?’, ‘Do you have my device code? Contact me if you have any trouble!’
If I contact you, you will be given the elixir. What should I do?
Although I occasionally say hello to Hyangrok, I don’t think I can tell him how I’m feeling.
I was absentmindedly staring at the camera when I suddenly came to my senses when I saw a white tiger squirming.
“I’ll check the taste buds of Cheongho and Heukho. Show me your tongues!”
Hyangnok seems more concerned about the condition of the tongue than the journey or past history of the nobles who returned after thousands of years.
If someone like Seodol were in this position, he would question the tigers and try to observe them, but Hyangrok was different.
“You can’t move.”
While Black Tiger was crying and trying to find a way to escape, Blue Tiger became the first victim.
Hyangrok held Cheongho’s neck with one hand, and a dropper filled with an ominous-colored liquid with the other.
Cheong-ho realized something was wrong belatedly as a pungent smell rose from the tip of the dropper, but it was already too late.
A drop of medicine fell on Cheongho’s tongue.
“… … !”
“Well, the taste response is normal! The psychic is also responding well.”
Cheongho, as a powerful figure in the mythical world, did not move an inch, but his eyes looked as if his soul had been sucked out.
While Hyangrok was doing the same thing to Heukho who was resisting, I handed Cheongho the box containing the chocolate bonbons that I had put in my item window.
“Thank you, my lord.”
Cheongho expressed his gratitude with moved eyes and ate one chocolate bar after another without stopping.
It wasn’t something that deserved gratitude, but since the tiger friends next to me were of no help at all, I felt grateful to them in comparison.
Then, Heukho also came to me with tearful eyes and said, ‘Give me some too!’, so I took out another box.
Meanwhile, it was Hwang Ji-ho’s turn to watch the scene with excitement.
“Hwangho! You came here as the main character? I’ll take your pulse!”
“……I get it.”
Seeing his friends suffer in the future, Hwang Ji-ho also seemed to have strengthened his resolve.
Hyangrok did not perform a taste test like he did with Cheongho and Heukho, but he examined them more carefully, feeling their pulses all over their bodies and looking into their eyes.
Hyangrok seemed most excited when he was examining Hwang Jiho.
After asking a few questions to check the condition of his body, Hyangrok took his hand away and said.
“As expected, Hwangho’s body is interesting! It shares senses with its clone, right? When taking elixir, you must take it with your own body, and while taking it, you must not use your clone’s sense of taste.”
“… … .”
Hwang Ji-ho looked taken aback by Hyang-rok’s words.
This person only had one mouth, so he could taste the elixir in its entirety, but Hwang Ji-ho must have tried to use his clone’s sense of taste to disperse the taste of hell.
The white tiger that had been watching intervened again.
“I will keep a close eye on you to make sure you eat with your own body and do not use another body.”
“White tiger… … .”
There are ways to use the best of the clan’s talents outside of fighting.
Although Hwang Ji-ho said that he could send it slowly, Hyang-rok said with an enthusiastic face that he would complete the elixir and send it as quickly as possible.
“Oh, by the way, I want to treat a bear for the first time in a while, so if you need a bear girl’s share, let me know!”
“I guess the rumor about the Ungnyeo spread quickly among the Jin tribe that has lived for thousands of years. I see. Haven’t you ever seen the Ung tribe before?”
At the word bear, the eyes of the tigers, except for the black tiger who had his mouth full of chocolate, became sharp.
Hyangrok must have noticed the change in her gaze, but he accepted it without any concern.
“I didn’t meet him because I wanted to continue dealing with the clan! I did exchange letters with the Bear of Joy for a bit, but when he asked me questions about things I didn’t know, I said I didn’t know, and I didn’t get a response.”
The tigers calmed down somewhat at the mention of the Bear of Joy.
Among the Eight Immortals of Jinung, he was one of the few bears that did not directly confront the powerful clans.
“What did the Bear of Joy ask?”
“Well, when you took my pulse, I asked if I could sense your true nature. I guess it had to do with the magic the Bear of Joy was researching?”
Hyangrok didn’t remember very well, as he had no intention of forming a relationship with the Ung Clan while fighting against the Ho Clan, but just knowing that the Bear of Joy was conducting research related to Jinmyeong was a great gain.
There are some Jin tribes with large livers who cross both legs at the same time like Yongjegeon, but there are probably more Jin tribes who make choices like Hyangrok.
‘On the other hand, there may be a Jin tribe that chose the Ung tribe instead of the Ho tribe.’
Just as there are evil spirits who choose to hide behind the dark curtain.
* * *
The archer walked down a long corridor following the butterfly.
He returned from carrying out orders in the midst of a storm without sleeping a wink, but his steps were full of energy.
The palace guard planned to report right away, but since he didn’t call, he had to wait all night.
‘You finally called me. Have you finished checking?’
The orders that Gung-gi received from him were conditional.
When Jinwoong Palseon wakes up, he will stop Ungnyeo from escaping and make Ungjok kill Ungnyeo.
However, if the powerful clan intervenes, they will prioritize the recovery of the evil darkness and the eight good spirits of Jinwoong over the extermination of Ungnyeo.
The palace carried out his orders.
It would have been even better if he had killed the bear woman, but it was a great feat to succeed in the mission alone in a situation where many powerful clans of the mythical world were involved.
But he, who was very suspicious, seemed to want to receive the report after examining the situation through confusion and make sure there were no contradictions.
“Report.”
Into the darkness reached by following the butterfly’s guidance.
His voice was heard.
Those who were still in the dark harbored malice worthy of being served.
Intoxicated by that malice, the palace reported softly and affectionately.
The palace guard reported one by one the local clans that were present, the intervention of the Crow King, the conversation they had, and their reactions to the evil darkness.
But the palace did not tell everything.
‘I can’t let that malice be trampled upon.’
The palace reported about a man wearing a crow mask and having the appearance of a dragon.
However, Gung-gi called him ‘the one wearing the crow mask but presumed to be Yongje-geon’.
The eight Jinwoong sages who risked their lives to fight against the mythical world’s powerful clans and the bear woman were located in a somewhat distant location.
They had already confirmed in advance that although they had noticed the contact between the palace guard and the crow mask, they had not heard the detailed conversation.
Gong-gi’s eyes and speech still overflowed with reverence for him, and it was all sincere.
But until the very end, the palace guard’s report did not include a single word about the immense malice that the crow mask held.
‘The crow mask. Ah, that’s it.’
Meanwhile, upon hearing the words “crow mask,” Nabi-ryeong immediately realized what Gung-gi was hiding.
Butterfly Spirit was a Jin tribe who was very sensitive to dreams, and he could sense the nightmares and terrible malice carried by the one wearing the crow mask very well.
I could guess what the palace guard was thinking when he encountered that malice.
Nabi-ryeong saw off Gung-gi and laughed in the darkness.
‘I finally found it.’
Because he was a villain obsessed with the evil intentions of the underworld, there was no place to dig until now.
But finally, the Butterfly Spirit succeeded in finding a gap.
The loyalty of the palace guard had already been cracked, and the crow mask was filling the gap.
