Episode 765: Feeling sad

“Quickly get behind the stone wall and take cover!”

Bukjin started acting hard.

He shouted loudly without looking back, as if he were a hero who risked his life to save two girls.

“No, don’t come…! It’s dangerous here!

I don’t need help. Your safety comes first, so get out of here quickly!”

Bukjin fought the swarm of rats, constantly shouting and swinging his sword.

The sight was extremely tragic.

To create the mood, he even modulated his powers to create a precarious situation where he would not kill all the hundreds of ‘steel rats’, but rather narrowly confront them.

But there was no answer from behind.

There was no helping hand as I had imagined.

Bukjin looked back slightly, feeling strange.

‘shit!’

He was so angry that he almost swore.

Baek San-ak was already hiding behind the stone wall with the two girls.

And all the warriors of the village were watching from the castle walls.

The one-eyed old man was screaming something.

They didn’t seem to care about Bukjin, so it seemed like they had no intention of helping him in the slightest.

‘Damn. Do these people even have morals?

Even so, don’t you have any sympathy? If you receive a favor, shouldn’t you repay it?

I saved two girls, and now you’re not helping me? Then all my hard work in driving this bunch of ‘hard-haired rats’ out here and killing them was in vain.

‘If they don’t listen to me like this, how can I get inside?’

Shh- shh- shh-!

A sharp, ear-piercing sound rang through the air.

In an instant, dozens of ‘steel rats’ let out a shrill scream, and the thorns on their backs shot out like arrows.

Its incredible destructive power was comparable to the arrows shot by Park Bo-seong, the sharpshooter of the Arctic Empire.

‘Is this their way of killing?’

“Face the storm!”

Bukjin immediately cast the Seventeen Swords.

Then a wall of sword wind appeared in front of my body.

All the thorns disappeared as they hit the wall of sword wind.

At the same time, dozens of ‘steel rats’ that had fired bone thorns were drying up and writhing at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.

Firing bone spikes seemed like a powerful enough means to burn away all of their jade.

It was like a stinger on the end of a bee’s body.

“Huh? If I shoot once, I die?”

Bukjin went up again, swinging his sword.

The Baekwol village people on top of the stone wall in the distance were still chattering and shouting something loudly.

The loud noise was full of excitement.

I was so excited, like I was watching a circus.

‘Those guys without a conscience.’

Bukjin cursed in his heart.

Everything was different from what he thought.

As Bukjin killed a few more ‘Bristled Rats’, it seemed that the ‘Bristled Rats’ finally realized that the humans before them were difficult to deal with.

In particular, the leader of the large rats squeaked and unexpectedly turned around and ran away with the group of rats.

“Gasp, gasp, gasp…….”

Bukjin was panting heavily.

There was rat blood on his body, and he looked as if he had suffered a serious wound.

At that moment, footsteps were heard.

The one-eyed, one-legged, one-armed old man who had not helped the advance north was slowly approaching, accompanied by a few young warriors.

Bukjin held back his anger, then ran his hand through his hair and smiled warmly and purely.

“Curry, tile, guaragura…….”

When Baek San-ak opened his mouth, Buk Jin’s eyes widened in surprise.

“???”

‘Oh, shit. I’m screwed. I calculated everything and I forgot the most important thing. I don’t speak a foreign language!

It’s obvious that we won’t be able to communicate, but you can’t even think about that!’

He wiped the large bead of sweat off his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

“What are you talking about?”

This sound was heard only as a muttering to the ears of Baek San-ak and others.

To their ears, the words of the North Korean advance were like a noise whose meaning was completely incomprehensible.

Baek San-ak looked embarrassed and spoke to Buk Jin.

“Wow, wow, wow……”

Bukjindo was embarrassed and tried to follow their words while observing them.

“Guru Majiri……”

The two people listened to each other’s voices and only question marks lingered in their heads.

After a while, the two people just stared at each other awkwardly with their eyes wide open, not knowing what to do.

By the end, they were forced to communicate only with hand gestures.

“I am the most handsome man in the North Sea Empire, and a noble titled celestial being. I came here to participate in the examination. Then, by chance, I came here and…”

Bukjin explained diligently, using gestures with his hands and feet.

Baek San-ak, one of the oldest and wisest elders of Baekwol Village, briefly looked at Bukjin.

Soon a ray of light flashed in his pupil.

He suddenly turned around with a look of realization on his face and shouted at the villagers behind him.

“Everyone, rest assured! He said he was a lowly slave who fell here from the void outside the White Moon Realm.”

The Baekwol tribe on the stone wall let out a long sigh of relief.

Someone waved his hand in greeting, looking at Bukjin with a pitiful expression.

This often happened on different land fragments in the offshore world.

There have been instances of runaway slaves like this before.

However, Baekwolgye was so small and desolate that very few people came from outside.

‘Huh? I think I understood.’

Bukjin was very happy in his heart.

‘I am truly a sign language genius.’

“I came to make friends.”

He continued to try to communicate using sign language.

Baek San-ak saw Buk Jin’s gesture and spoke to the people.

“He says he’s hungry.”

Bukjin continued to sign language.

“Can I come to your castle and take a look?”

Baek San-ak thought for a moment to understand Buk Jin’s gesture, then opened his mouth with an expression of understanding.

“I heard you’re thirty-five this year.”

When it seemed like he understood, Bukjin continued to sign with an excited expression.

“I am a good person. You can rest assured. I came here with good intentions.”

Baek San-ak smiled at Buk Jin’s gesture and spoke to the people.

“His last name is Joo.”

‘I’m really a genius.’

Bukjin could see the faces of the Baekwol village people gradually relaxing.

Their expressions became more and more stable, and they even showed a hint of gratitude.

For a moment, Bukjin thought that his sign language had taken effect.

‘Hahaha, so what if we don’t speak the same language? I, Im Minam, am able to communicate perfectly with these tribesmen with my intelligence and talent, so it’s okay, right?’

The sign language genius and the wise elder had a very pleasant exchange.

Eventually, Baek San-ak, after consulting with his fellow tribesmen, decided to temporarily house this runaway slave from outer space.

Anyway, he was a benefactor who saved the lives of two people, Baek So-so.

The Baekwol tribe is a place where people have clear sense of gratitude and resentment, and they never commit bad deeds without repaying the favor.

Before setting off, the Baekwol tribe warriors received permission to advance north and collected all the corpses of the ‘Gangmo Rat’ and loaded them onto a cart.

Although the ‘stemmed rat’ had a tough flesh, it was meat.

It could be considered a treasure because everything, even the leather and bones, were useful.

In this place where supplies are scarce, it was a precious treasure that could not be missed.

‘But that’s really strange. The ‘Bristled Rats’ don’t usually run wild during the day, they only come to this area at night, so why is this an exception today?’

On the way back to the castle, the wise elder Baek San-ak thought quietly to himself.

Not only was the ‘Strong Rat’s’ sudden actions questionable, but so was the stranger who suddenly appeared.

The party soon returned under the walls.

Only after the wise elder Baek San-ak entered the castle and reported the situation was Buk Jin able to enter the Black Castle.

On the way, the village warriors were chattering and talking, but Bukjin couldn’t understand them.

The villagers surrounding Bukjin were looking up and down his body with curious eyes.

There seemed to be no malice in the people’s innocent faces and genuine smiles.

Rather, they were friendly to the North Jin.

‘Ah, they seem like innocent people. They say that people who grow up in difficult environments have bad personalities…

No, this is what it means to have a good personality.’

Bukjin couldn’t help but be amazed.

After about a day or two, he was placed in a desolate courtyard inside the castle and rested for a while.

It wasn’t intentional to ignore Bukjin.

Most of the buildings in the castle of Baekwol Village were old and similar to this.

The main reason for this was the poor environment.

Because water resources are lacking here, severe desertification has occurred.

After the wise elder Baek San-ak stabilized Imbukjin, he first went to the center of the village and reported to the chief what had happened that day.

Outsiders still needed permission from the chief and several elders to remain in the village for any length of time.

The skills displayed when Bukjin appeared were very strong.

If you can remain in the village, it will be of great help to Baekwol Village.

This was also one of the important reasons why Baek San-ak sent Bukjin into the castle.

The small courtyard where Bukjin was placed was covered in dust.

Bukjin began to quietly look around his surroundings.

To be honest, this small castle with only about six or seven hundred people was not lively or bustling at all.

Low houses, dirt-paved roads.

Even the old Yunmong Castle was hundreds of times more prosperous than this black castle.

But strangely enough, this place felt comfortable.

Bukjin recalled memories from Earth.

This place felt similar to the feeling I got when I visited my maternal grandparents’ house in the countryside.

In an instant, a warm feeling spread through my chest.

Before I knew it, I was thinking of my family.

‘How are my parents, grandparents, maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother doing now?’

I was especially curious about how my grandmother was doing.

‘Ever since I was little, my grandmother has loved me the most among her grandchildren.

My grandmother has not been in good health for the past few years due to a hereditary heart and lung disease. If she finds out about my disappearance, won’t her condition worsen?’

Bukjin stood at the entrance to the garden and looked out at the fields spread out in the distance.

I felt sad for a moment.

The thought of returning home, which had already faded, came rushing back like a tide, completely consuming him.
