God’s Nemesis, Returns Episode 078
61. Gyeongbokgung Palace
“It’s my brother!”
Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
Where the monarch’s power resides.
To Si-hyeon, Park Na-eun, and Ok-jan, who were sitting somewhere at the entrance and spending time leisurely.
Someone came running.
“… … It came back again without even dying.”
“Stop fighting.”
After playfully ruffling Park Na-eun’s hair while she was grumbling.
Sihyeon shook my hand.
“Are you here? My little brother.”
“Hahahaha! I came. As soon as the disaster was over. Because I missed you, hyung.”
Even though he became a high elf, he still wore white priestly robes.
Seo Young-woo ran towards Si-hyeon.
Sihyeon muttered, thinking that the figure looked like a white Pomeranian.
“Oakjan.”
“Okay, master.”
thud!
Seo Young-woo, who was running with his arms outstretched, was blocked by something and bounced away.
“What are you?”
“It’s the master’s order. He told me not to try to hug him.”
“It’s my brother… … .”
“Why would a grown man do that?”
“Still, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you… … .”
“Ugh.”
Even if Seo Young-woo has the body of a high elf.
Oakzan is the ultimate conqueror of the Orcs.
The being with the strongest body among the existing orcs.
Seo Young-woo couldn’t rush in any further because the guy was physically blocking him.
“Poohahaha! Look at that! The ball didn’t even bounce off the wall.”
“Wow… … You’re going too far! Brother!”
“That’s too much. You two should watch and learn. Look at that Oakjean. How dignified and strong he is. He’s also physically fit.”
“Master. If you just give me the order, I can give those two full muscle… … .”
Sihyeon shook her head as she recalled the strength training that Oakzen usually did.
This guy is an orc, not a human.
And half of them are ogres.
So I did extreme weight training to build muscle.
If you divide it into three, it would be around 3,000.
“Arthur. If you train them so ignorantly, they’ll all die.”
“Seo Young-woo. That idiot. Hehe. He’s not even a bouncy ball.”
“Park Na-eun… … Attention. Are you out of your mind since it’s been so long since I’ve seen you?”
“You’re a troublemaker. You don’t even have a name on the rankings.”
“You’re not here either!”
“What? Kayayayaak!”
“Growl… … .”
Tsuzujeok.
As soon as they met, the two of them were sucking each other’s energy out, as if they were a dog and a cat.
Black fog gathered in Seo Young-woo’s two hands.
Park Na-eun’s golden fleece fluttered and yellow talismans began to spread in all directions.
At the same time, the replica of Draupnir that the guys were wearing began to glow.
“You guys! These items weren’t given to us to fight each other!”
Only then did the two of them calm down after hearing Sihyeon’s words.
“joy!”
“Tch!”
Looking at the two of them turning their heads towards each other.
Sihyeon shook her head.
‘Can they do well without me? This guy Oakzen is not a trustworthy guy, but he is just so strong.’
Phew.
“No. In the past, we would argue and fight. These days, we just fight as soon as we meet.”
“That’s right, Master. This is all because you don’t have discipline.”
“It’s better than you using informal language. Inma. Do you want to use formal language?”
“I’m sorry, Master. I don’t speak human language very well. I don’t know how to use formal language very well.”
“Ugh. I’d rather die than be sick. I’d rather die than be sick.”
When you are sighing like that.
“Sihyeon!”
“Gurrurrung!”
Someone came waving from afar.
A blue robe of a brighter color than before.
A bright smile replaced her pale complexion, and eyes as transparent as ice crystals.
A female player carrying the spirits of water and fire on her shoulders and holding a fire scepter in her arms.
It was the Ice Flame Flower ‘Cheon Yuri’ who had now risen to 14th place in the rankings.
‘Yeah… … I’m a little worried about leaving my followers alone. Fortunately, these guys all follow Cheon Yuri well. I can trust them and leave them to her.’
As she had promised with Sihyeon, she came running here as soon as the twelfth plague ended.
I’m taking the belongings that were left to me.
“Ms. Cheon Yuri. You look healthy.”
“sure.”
“Gurrurrung!”
“Okay, okay. How have you been?”
Caressing the little girl who jumped into his arms.
Sihyeon chuckled.
“Thank you for bringing me here.”
“Thank you.”
Looking at Cheon Yuri who came closer like that.
Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun rushed in at the same time.
“Sister Yuri. As I had imagined… … No, you are even more beautiful than that.”
“… … Youngwoo? You’ve changed a lot? Can you see ahead now?”
“Of course. Hahaha.”
“Look at that little bastard opening his mouth. He knows that his first wife is pretty. How pathetic. First wife! I was doing well too!”
“Yes… … How have you been?”
“Phew! Look at Park Na-eun. Sister Yuri is awkward with you! Well, you’re old, so wouldn’t you be uncomfortable?”
“Eeeeeee… … Is this really it? Are you going to lose?”
“What? Let’s try it?”
Tsuzuzuzu!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, the two were about to start the second match.
“This is an order. Both of you stay still.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two of them calmed down at Sihyeon’s words.
Although they are close, they are both members of Sihyeon’s family.
I had no choice but to follow the ‘order’.
“Oh my… … This is what I saw as soon as I arrived, Cheon Yuri.”
“Master. Leave your training to me. I started as the chief instructor of the Orc Grand Army… .”
“shut up.”
“Phew.”
Cheon Yuri snickered at the situation.
The three clans also looked at each other and laughed.
It was because he knew that Sihyeon couldn’t get angry in this kind of atmosphere.
“Okay, I’ll explain the situation briefly. First of all, once I sit on the throne, I don’t know when I’ll be back. There’s only one thing the people here can do. They’ll protect me and the throne.”
In Sihyeon’s words.
The group nodded.
“You can help Gyeongbokgung Palace, but if you feel that you are in danger, get out immediately. They need to protect us, not us. Just guard the throne.”
“All right.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Understood, master.”
“Well, Gyeongbokgung Palace facilities are nice, so there will be a lot to enjoy. Take care. While I’m gone, listen carefully to what Cheon Yuri says!”
Two humans, a human insect, a high elf, an orc, a spirit, and an immortal headed straight for Gyeongbokgung Palace.
“Then let’s go. To the new capital of Joseon.”
“Wow… … It’s definitely gotten bigger. I came here to see it before.”
“It’s a bit rustic. I came here with the owner a few days ago.”
“… … I’m angry.”
Leaving behind Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun, who were constantly bickering.
Sihyeon walked ahead.
And the players who recognized him shouted in admiration.
“It’s the fallen demon!”
“Wow!”
“Here you go! Here you go!”
“There is also a lady who rules over insects!”
“Ohh… … It’s a flying orc.”
“Can I feel your muscles?”
The people’s reaction was explosive.
That was understandable.
Sihyeon is a player who cleared the twelfth disaster with his arms crossed.
Because the impact was enormous.
‘It’s diverse.’
Gratitude, worry, jealousy, awe.
Eyes filled with all sorts of emotions were looking at Sihyeon.
For them, hunting demons was something they had heard of, but taming them was something they could never have imagined.
‘What. This feels familiar.’
Although not this quickly, Sihyeon was a player who had been ranked number 1 for quite some time.
I was very used to this kind of gaze.
However, the other party members, except for Oakzen, seemed slightly out of sorts, perhaps feeling burdened by this gaze.
In particular, Cheon Yuri was at a loss with an awkward smile.
“Ms. Cheon Yuri, don’t be nervous. These people will retreat soon.”
“Yes… … Yes, yes.”
When we arrived at Gwanghwamun with our group.
“Are you here, fallen demon?”
“welcome.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t know before.”
Unlike before when he was treated coldly, the monarch players guarding this place bowed down to him.
“Come this way.”
“I will guide you.”
When I was guided like that and headed towards the throne.
“oh my!”
Someone came running out of breath from far away.
‘That woman hasn’t changed at all… … .’
Messy hair, bloodshot eyes, an energy drink in hand, huge glasses.
Even after the twelfth disaster, the genius player who took charge of all external administrative processing was Seo Jin-hee.
“Anyway! Welcome. Thank you so much for saving us.”
Seo Jin-hee smiled brightly and grabbed Si-hyeon’s hand.
“If it weren’t for Sihyeon, the workload… … no, we would have all been in danger. You must all be tired from coming here. First of all, get some rest today.”
“It’s okay… … .”
Because Sihyeon wanted to quickly sit on the throne and deal with .
Seo Jin-hee’s proposal wasn’t very welcome.
but.
“Si-hyeon, take a break. If not now, then when else would you rest? You only sleep for 3 hours every day.”
“That’s right, master. We need to ventilate the room once in a while.”
“Brother, we should have some fun too.”
“Yes, master. Let’s take a rest today.”
“Gurrurrung!”
Sihyeon sighed deeply as she was unable to overcome the continuing temptation.
“Okay. Just for today.”
Looking at those four people getting beaten to death like that.
Seo Jin-hee forced a smile.
“Okay! Okay. It’s all free. Enjoy it to your heart’s content, you corrupted demon. I’ll make sure to treat you well.”
The facilities around Gyeongbokgung Palace were literally luxurious.
Thanks to players who are skilled in architecture and repairs, the throne in the center of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the numerous points collected in taxes.
I don’t know about other places in Jongno-gu, but the area around Gyeongbokgung Palace had already been completely repaired.
And Seo Jin-hee’s words were not empty words.
Because of her authority, everything you could enjoy here at Gyeongbokgung Palace was free.
“Let’s play a game of Yut Nori! If you win first place, you’ll get a B-grade item!”
“Have you seen it? There’s a SS-grade spinning top tool!”
“We have traditional rice cakes and yakgwa! Originally, only the king ate them!”
A traditional(?) market that emerged near Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Papat!
Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun, who had briefly locked eyes, quickly went to stand at the table.
“This is where the battle is decided, you damn bitch.”
“Good. Fallen Savior.”
The two of them stood in front of the Yut Nori board without saying who would go first.
The two stall owners were exchanging murderous words to the point that the stall owner swallowed his saliva.
“If you cheat at Yut, you know what I mean?”
“The palm of your hand is flying away.”
“Who should we start with?”
“Do whatever you want. I’ll win anyway. But the loser will be a slave for 30 days.”
“What’s 30 days? You little bastard. 300 days.”
“call.”
Looking at the two with shining eyes, Oakjan’s eyes also caught a different eye.
“Isn’t that too bland?”
“What are you talking about? This orc.”
“Do you know how to play Yut Nori?”
“I know. You sloppy outcasts.”
Oakjan brought out a Yut stick and shook it.
“Since the master told us not to fight, how about we decide the outcome through this strategy game?”
“……what?”
“The one who wins here will act as the master while the master is away.”
“Ohh…….”
Hearing those words, Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun’s eyes darkened and they soon met each other.
‘Whoever wins here is… … .’
‘Are you going to be the leader while your brother is away?’
Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun’s eyes began to burn.
“come in.”
“come in.”
“Come in.”
When the three of them sat in front of the Yut Nori board and looked around.
Gasal walked away and was held in Seo Young-woo’s arms.
“Gurrung!”
“Okay. Come here. My family.”
“Lizard! I need cheering squad too.”
-Swish!
At Park Na-eun’s call, Salamander stood next to her and started cheering her on.
Since they both dealt with the fire attribute, it seemed like they had something in common.
And Undine.
-… …I’ll throw it.
Unable to resist the temptation of high elves, human insects, and orcs, they began to play Yut ‘fairly’.
So to speak, it was a ‘referee’ role.
“Uhm… … If it’s like this, I’ll carry you and double!”
“Are you going to regret it?”
Whirl!
“No! Why is this Yut? Isn’t it a trick?”
“Yeah. Luck is a skill. You stupid high elf.”
“Keep that in check! If you keep doing this, you’ll end up in first place!”
Cheon Yuri was smiling faintly in the somewhat violent but peaceful atmosphere.
‘How long has it been since I’ve felt this kind of atmosphere… … .’
Something cold touched her cheek.
“Ouch! Sihyeon!”
What touched Cheon Yuri’s cheek was a cold iced Americano.
“I’m surprised?”
What Cheon Yuri sees when she looks back.
It was Sihyeon’s face with her red lips raised.
“It’s a bribe. I have a favor to ask.”
