Episode 431. Visa (1)
Blood flows before my eyes.
The world was dyed red because of that.
‘Ah… It’s this dream again.’
Yuri was aware that this was a dream.
That would be the case, because I had been having the same dream for several days after first seeing this vision.
‘Is it because it’s that shocking?’
Or maybe the memory of the left foot that gave rise to this welcome was so strong that it was engraved in my mind?
‘Or maybe… he keeps showing us these faces so we don’t forget them.’
After finishing her thoughts, Yuri began to focus on the situation in her dream.
With him, the boundary between dreams and self collapsed, and Yuri became deeply absorbed into the present situation.
Cool!
The moment when Yuri and the owner of the dream coughed up a lot of blood.
A woman appeared in front of him.
She had an indescribable beauty that seemed not to belong to the world, and she looked down at the glass with sad eyes.
In her moist, turquoise eyes, the hazy image of a man with both arms and both legs cut off was projected.
After that, the woman slowly lowered her posture and stroked Yuri’s bleeding cheek.
Then, Yuri’s vision filled with long ears sticking out from between the golden hair.
‘Elf.’
Upon first seeing her, Yuri discovered that she was an elf.
They were a mysterious clan that lived for anywhere from 500 to nearly 1,000 years.
Even though he had become one with the master of his dreams, the existence of the woman was still incredibly strange to Yuri.
That’s when Yuri looked at the elf woman.
“one…….”
Her mournful call brought Yuri back into her dream state.
“one.”
Tears began to flow from the elf woman who called her name again and again.
“one…….”
Yuri’s heart ached as she watched him repeat the name over and over again, shedding tears.
And that was when it happened.
Boom- Boom-!
A bald man appeared with heavy footsteps.
A man of similar size to Poppy when she was giantized looked down at the glass.
“one.”
Eagle-eyed gaze and low, rough bass.
It wasn’t hard to see that what was contained there was clear anger.
And it didn’t stop there, another being appeared.
“…one.”
The one who appeared with a small, trembling call was an old dwarf with a bushy gray beard and red eyes.
The old dwarf standing next to the elf woman looked down at the glass with a subtle and complicated gaze.
Elves, giants, and dwarves.
The three of them called each other by the same name, but the feelings contained in that name were different.
The elf woman was in a state of terribly painful sadness.
The giant man was burning with anger.
The dwarf old man had complex emotions that were difficult to read.
The gazes of the three ancient races were deeply engraved in Yuri’s mind.
But Yuri, who had already had the same dream many times, knew.
This means that there is still one more being left to appear.
And, as expected,
Thud thud thud-.
Ordinary footsteps.
A new figure appeared in Yuri’s field of vision.
“Lee Han.”
sorrow.
anger.
Complex and incomprehensible emotions.
A middle-aged man appears with a call that contains all of that.
As soon as he looked at him, the heart of Yuri and the owner of the dream started beating rapidly.
‘Definitely… they look alike.’
If the sword master were to become young again and return to middle age.
I thought that if his pale white hair turned a brilliant gold again and the wrinkles that had formed over time became tighter, he would look just like that.
Moreover, the dark, black eyes that looked down at him were very similar to the unique atmosphere of the swordsman.
The man who resembled the sword opened his mouth while looking at the glass.
“My brother, my nemesis, my inevitably entangled being.”
Hearing that gentle call, Yuri also met the man’s black eyes.
Black and gold.
Gold and black.
The moment when two opposing gazes connect.
“I look forward to the day when our destiny will be connected again.”
The middle-aged man’s voice dug deep into her mind and Yuri woke up from her dream.
***
Slurp-.
As I slowly raised my upper body, the thin blanket slipped down.
“Whoaaah!”
Yuri yawned so wide that her mouth was torn, and her face became blank for a moment.
The brief illusion that first appeared when the left foot and the moon came together was repeated every night.
Now I don’t know if this is really a dream or a series of illusions.
“It’s so vivid it gives me goosebumps.”
The emotions of three ancient races looking at a man named Lee Han.
And a middle-aged man who resembles a swordsman.
The scenes, emotions, and voices from my dream were still vivid in my mind.
It seemed like it was beyond the level of being dismissed as a mere dream.
“hmm…….”
Yuri let out her damp emotions as she fell into a deep sleep and became one with her dreams.
He got out of bed.
“The sun has risen.”
Whenever I had this dream, I would always sleep in late.
So Yuri roughly made up the bed and left the room.
A loud noise was heard at that moment.
Knock knock-.
Squeak-!
The noise that sounded like something was being hit and broken was actually the sound of something being fixed, not broken.
‘It’s already been ten days.’
It’s been ten days since the Baekgeom Byeongdan disappeared through a large hole in the ceiling of the sleepless castle.
A lot has happened in the meantime.
First, the day after the hole in the ceiling appeared.
Teresia and the Sowol mercenary group arrived at Bulya Castle with Minsu.
[Huh? Less?]
[Where did they all go?]
[Huh? Is this the end of the situation already?]
Five more days passed after welcoming them in confusion.
[What kind of scoundrel dug a hole in someone else’s ceiling?!]
[Damn, this is a total mess! When will I ever fix this!]
The other masters and the rest of the Gol tribe’s exploration party also returned to the sleepless castle.
After this, the Gols began to repair the damage they had suffered from this incident.
Along with that came some surprising news.
‘The number of Gol people killed in this incident is less than twenty.’
Even those twenty people did not die while fighting, but were those who died after being caught in the rays of the Heavenly Dragon Palace while watching.
On the other hand, the bodies of the Baekgeom Byeongdan, who were the invaders, were found to be close to two hundred.
‘They say even a dog will eat half of its food when it fights in its own home, but this place was like a tiger’s den.’
It was once again a moment when the results proved that the leisureliness of the Masters and the expedition team was for a reason.
Although the casualties were minimal, the material damage was quite serious.
The tracks of the tram were cut off, and fires engulfed many parts of the sleepless city.
The ceiling of the sleepless castle was blown away, destroying the ventilation and humidity control devices.
Even the city hall, one of the city’s key institutions, was more than half completely blown away.
Thanks to this, the Gols were busy restoring the city of Bulya without having time to feel sad or angry about this incident.
On the other hand, Yuri and her group were having a very leisurely time.
“What about the other kids?”
Yuri came out and asked Yulia, who was busy reading.
She answered, still not taking her eyes off the book.
“The three idiots are at the construction site again today to earn some pocket money.”
The Three Idiots.
That is, Arin, Poppy, and Gunther, who were suddenly at a loss as to what to do in the time they had suddenly lost, twisted their whole bodies and eventually went to the restoration site of the sleepless castle.
You might wonder what use they would be to the Gol tribe, which is overflowing with technicians, but the Three Idiots were surprisingly well-received by the Gol tribe.
[Wow! You’re really good at climbing up to that high place!]
[Hey, this guy… You don’t need to saw it off, right? Okay, let’s cut this too!]
[Wow, it’s huge! And what kind of power is it?!]
Arin, who can quickly climb up high places like a flying squirrel without even a ladder.
Gunther, who cuts wood with ease using his sword skills.
Even Poppy, who was carrying and moving objects that had to be carried by a dozen or so Goljok members, by herself.
Thanks to the skills they learned while working under Yuri during the construction of the old Demon King’s Castle, they were able to be treated as fairly high-level laborers even by the Gol tribe.
The three musketeers gradually became friends with the Gols and received gifts from them.
Julia called it pocket money, and indeed it was.
“I thought you’d get sick of it after a few days and just stop, but it’s lasting quite a while.”
“If not now, then when will we befriend the Gaul and get our hands on their creations?”
“but…….”
Yuri nodded.
Even if it’s just a worthless piece of junk to the Gol people, once they touch it, it’s worth calling it out to outsiders.
So, all the miscellaneous items that had been received as wages for the past few days were piled up in a pile in the room of the three idiot musketeers.
“That leader and those members are the ones who are responsible for that.”
Yuri, who lightly ignored Julia’s story, asked the question again.
“What about Teresia?”
“To May.”
It’s the third day since returning to the sleepless city.
May Winchester wakes up.
And as promised, Seojun and Gayeon were using everything they had to restore May’s energy to its original state.
Thanks to that, she was getting healthier day by day, and Theresia was always by May’s side.
‘… Is this what family is?’
The relationship between aunt and nephew.
But when Yuri saw them, they were so close that she thought they were sisters.
When I think of those two who look so much alike,
“So how long are we going to be here?”
Yuri’s eyes turned dull at Julia’s question.
“When asking a question to someone, isn’t it polite to look up from your book and ask?”
“I can tolerate everything else, but I can’t tolerate your polite criticism.”
Yuri sighed and replied to Julia’s attitude of still only looking at the book.
“Well? Wouldn’t things have to be sorted out to some extent before you can leave and receive compensation?”
There was a reward to be received for this commission.
However, since the Goljok were busy restoring the sleepless castle, there was no opportunity to bring up the topic of compensation.
However, it is not a situation where they can bother May who was injured and bedridden while saving their lives.
So I stayed in Bulya Castle for a long time thinking that I had no choice, but in fact, that was just an excuse.
If Yuri wanted to leave, she would have pestered Goljok or Maiden as much as she wanted.
But the reason he can’t leave.
That’s because there were still stories left to be told.
‘What, you’re having a meeting just to tell old stories? And for how many days?’
That day, Yuri urged Docheol to tell her the truth about King Yue.
But the answer that came back was simple.
[That’s… not something I can decide on my own.]
With those words, Do-cheol entered into a meeting with the other masters.
And he has been in hiding for nearly ten days now, with no news coming from him.
‘What on earth is this grand story that is taking so long?’
It was a situation that Yuri simply could not understand.
Why are we having this long meeting when all we needed to do was just talk?
“Anyway, let’s wait until things are more or less sorted out.”
“As you wish, Captain.”
Yuri’s eyes became slightly blurry at Julia’s answer.
He glanced at Julia, whose mood had changed strangely recently.
‘You’re strangely obedient.’
What should I say, the atmosphere seemed to have strangely changed to one of obedience?
Yuri, who had been suspicious of Julia’s changes that she had no idea about, quickly shook off her discomfort and grabbed the doorknob.
“I’ll go out and earn some pocket money too.”
Yuri pulled the door forcefully with those words.
But his attempts at earning pocket money ended up being nothing more than an attempt due to a gang of thugs standing in front of his door.
“who?”
“Ah, that’s… … .”
The young Goljok, clearly embarrassed at having opened the door first while trying to open it himself, looked up at the glass and answered.
“I came to convey Grandfather Do-cheol’s words.”
And at the words that followed, a strange light flashed across Yuri’s eyes.
“The meeting is over, so he asked me to come and listen to his story.”
***
Spacious interior.
In the midst of a heavy silence.
Behind four small circular tables sat four masters in various positions.
And across from them, Yuri sat upright in front of the same round table.
He looked blankly at the dark green liquid in a bowl on the table.
“Did I get the wrong number? I thought you asked me to come and talk… … .”
But what is this?
What lay before him was something dark and sticky, something closer to poison than tea.
And who serves tea to guests in bowls the size of a person’s face?
“No matter how I look at it, it looks like it means eat and run?”
Gayeon snorted in amusement at Yuri’s words.
“If you don’t want to eat it, just leave it. I gave it to you especially because I thought you had a hard time this time.”
Yuri was slightly touched by her reaction.
‘Huh?’
His intuition told him to pick it up rather than risk it.
Yuri dipped her pinky finger in the dark green liquid and tasted it.
His eyes grew wide involuntarily.
At the same time, amazement burst out of my mouth.
“What, what is this?!”
Gayeon snorted again at Yuri’s reaction.
“It’s a medicinal liquor made from the byproduct of making elixir. If you can’t get a good response even if you give something precious, you should just give it to dogs… … .”
As she spoke, Yuri, who had already emptied a bowl, shouted.
“Here’s another drink!”
widely-!
It seems like medicinal liquor isn’t medicinal liquor for nothing.
The moment I took a sip, my internal organs felt refreshed and a refreshing feeling spread throughout my body.
Also, I felt a small but pure mana building up.
After drinking two more glasses of alcohol and getting scolded along with it, Yuri sipped her fourth glass sparingly and asked.
“What on earth were you trying to tell me to make people wait like this?”
The atmosphere of the masters who were sipping their liquor also became tense at Yuri’s question.
Minsu spoke on their behalf.
“The story we are about to tell is a long-held secret that has been kept hidden by agreement.”
Seojun took over the conversation.
“If you weren’t his predecessor… you would never have broken the taboo of the agreement.”
This time, it was Gayeon who took over the conversation.
“If you are truly his predecessor, we have concluded through our meeting that you have the right to know.”
And the last one to speak was Do-cheol.
“Before I tell you the old secret… what you must know is the truth of the ancient East.”
“Ancient East?”
Do-cheol answered Yuri’s question in a serious tone.
“Yes, the ancient East… It is now a mysterious land that has become common knowledge, and it is also the birthplace of the magic used by modern humans. However… … .”
Do-cheol paused for a moment.
And Yuri’s eyes widened at the story she heard immediately afterwards.
“There is no such thing as an oriental land in this world.”
