Episode 128
In the original work, the location of the real Proposal is revealed much later than the first episode.
So, knowing that, of course I could be sure. The Proposal Sutra that Qingdao Yul has now is not the original.
‘At the beginning, Qingdaoyul was mentioned as if passing through his own mouth.’
His family has been in charge of the management of the Proposal for quite a long time, but it seems that Qingdaoyul came to realize the truth that it was a deteriorated version, not an original, by chance.
‘Of course, it has a similar effect in its own way, but… … .’
Qingdao Yul was indignant at the fact that he treasured things that were not real and passed them on to the next generation.
There was a reason why he was desperately trying to acquire the power of the Blue Dragon.
Since he realized that the Proposal is a fake, he wanted to obtain something comparable to the blue and white sword that Jung Hae had on his behalf.
When I told him about it without hesitation, Ki-beom Cheong seriously changed his expression as if he realized that I wasn’t just lying.
“Then you mean you know the location?”
“That’s right.”
“If what I said now is a lie, I will never set foot on this Korean land again.”
The freedom that emanates from one’s own strength.
It’s not, but if you deceive Cheong Ki-bum, he will chase after me to the ends of the earth and try to punish me. He was such a straight-forward and straight-forward person.
“It is all unmistakable. Nothing was said back.”
“You’re confident. I’m curious about the source of the information, but I’ll put it aside for now.”
In fact, just by knowing this information, Ki-beom Cheong owes me a debt.
I was able to stop pouring my efforts in a useless direction, and it was like I had a card in my hand that would put pressure on the Qingdao rate when I was young.
And Cheong Ki-beom is a character who cannot live without debt to others.
In other words, it was clear that the option of refusal had disappeared from his mind now in addition to the original purpose.
Unsurprisingly, Ki-beom Cheong, who had been contemplating for a while, soon nodded and informed me of his consent.
“Then you must be saying that you want to borrow my power in return for the Proposal. yes, good If you really bring me a proposal, I’ll put this blue flag in the name of you and cooperate with you.”
“thank you. I’m sorry, but would it be okay if I asked you one more thing?”
“Request? What is it?”
“I know the location of the Proposal, but of course I can’t get my hands on it so easily. Right now, I don’t have enough energy.”
In other words, he was asking for the power to get help. And it was clear who he was referring to.
“Ts. That’s not wrong. yes good Take Uncheol.”
“Hey, I just came back.”
“It wouldn’t be funny if they were caught by other people before they achieved their purpose. Until then, stay by my side and slay the flies.”
Chung Woon-cheol scratched his head as if it was annoying, but that didn’t mean he refused.
It was because, as Ki-beom Cheong said, it was definitely necessary.
In the end, that’s how the deal went smoothly. We left the territory of the Cheong Ki-beom clique and began to move, accompanied by Chung Un-cheol.
The next destination is none other than the place where the real Proposal Sutra is hidden.
It was a place that was hidden deep in Cheongyeongsan Mountain and could only be entered if certain conditions were met, and it was a mirror forest that appeared as an event stage in the game.
***
The time is midnight, when the sun has all gone down.
Following the group, heading deep into the mountains where the Proposal Sutra is hidden, Cheong Woon-cheol looked at Han Kang-yoon at the front with meaningful eyes.
‘… It’s also not an ordinary bet.’
In fact, just before visiting Ki-beom Cheong, Woon-cheol Chung, who had heard from Cheongju-hwa how to make the amulet he was interested in, was determined to cooperate in persuasion in his own way.
And to such Cheong Woon-cheol, Han Kang-yoon said this.
[As a result, after accepting the offer, the elder will probably want to accompany Unchul Chung to our side.]
[…] ho.]
[So, if you follow the elder’s words at that time, it will be of great help to me.]
At the time, I just passed it on thinking that there was definitely a possibility, but now that I look at it, everything has been perfectly done according to Han Kang-yoon’s thoughts.
Indeed, without missing a single thing.
‘… He’s a really creepy talent.’
It is certainly not unusual to have this level of skill and judgment at this age.
In a situation that is already in crisis, meeting an elder from a family who is not sure if he will be on his side and arguing with him, who can take such an adventure calmly?
So, as he went through the process, Chung Woon-cheol thought.
Perhaps, the person who will make the most of his name in the next generation is this Han Kang-yoon, not anyone else.
‘When I was that age, I didn’t have the same sense of intimidation as him.’
The abilities he showed in person were also surprising, but apart from that, there was something unique about Han Kang-yoon that was unknown.
A strange presence that can only be felt when dealing with real giants.
Chung Woon-cheol, who had encountered many powerful people, including the elders of the family, was confident in his senses.
‘It went well. It’s probably something we should take a closer look at this time.’
If Han Kang-yun is really that talented, it would not be a bad thing to attract him to his clan or to establish friendly relations with the Jeong-ha faction to which he belongs.
While organizing the contents to report to Cheong Ki-beom, Cheong Woon-cheol continued to follow the group.
And finally we could reach our destination.
“Is this really right? I don’t really feel anything.”
As Jeong Ji-yeon had said before, Chung Woon-cheol could not detect any energy either.
It was hard to believe that a hidden place like this existed.
However, without hesitation, Han Kang-yoon stepped forward and started doing something.

Mechanical movement, like measuring distance or repeatedly testing something.After finishing it all, Han Kang-yoon found a spot and sat on it and opened his mouth to everyone.
“Now wait for a while and the entrance will open.”
We couldn’t clearly understand what that meant, but there was no other room anyway, so the party waited for a while according to Han Kang-yoon’s will.
And just after midnight, when the day started to change, Han Kang-yoon took out the necklace he was wearing and set it down on the floor at an angle.
Then amazing things started to happen.
Whoops.
Gee!
The jewel in the necklace began to shine as it absorbed the moonlight, and soon the reflected light pointed between the two trees in the corner of the forest.
It was only then that Unchul Chung was able to recognize some kind of space that had been hidden until now.
‘Is this a barrier technique?’
To completely deceive Cheong Woon-cheol’s eyes, at least meant that the person who created this barrier had more skills than that.
“Then we will move without delay.”
Han Kang-yoon took the necklace that had been left on the ground and led the party again at the front, and Cheong Woon-cheol, feeling more and more curious, followed.
As I keep guessing in the corner of my head, the identity of Han Kang-yoon, which I can’t quite figure out.

‘Fortunately, there was no such thing as a different entry method.’
Originally, it was a place that the characters from the first episode of the series would reach after finding various clues, but of course, all of those things were meaningless to me.
The way to open the entrance to the Mirror Forest was difficult and simple.
With the exception of the Proposal, you can obtain one of the three main tools of the family, the Blue White Sword and the Cheong Shim Ok, and reflect the moonlight at the moment of midnight and shine it on the designated place.
At the same time, I had the Cheongshimok that I received from Jiyeon Cheong, so there was no need to satisfy the conditions.
It sounded like everything was just right.
‘Because I was going to get it someday anyway.’
It’s just that it’s been advanced a bit.
Although it was necessary to hand over the Proposal to Cheong Ki-beom according to the terms of the transaction, there was another thought about it.
So, for now, all you need to think about is reaching the edge of the Mirror Forest and acquiring the Proposal.
slurp.
Whoops.
As I entered the entrance to the barrier formed between the trees, the mirror forest I had only seen in the game finally appeared in front of me.
‘It’s literally what it is.’
The scene inside was truly bizarre.
The trees of the forest planted on the ground were reflected in the ceiling and hung upside down, and mirrors that had no idea where they were hidden were scattered everywhere, randomly distorting the landscape.
Seeing this, Cheongju-hwa was disgusted and said:
“… 👌👌 What’s this? I’m going to die of dizzy.”
“A kind of maze. It’s like finding a hidden object.”
“It doesn’t look like it will be easy at all to find a way.”
Perhaps it was as if he was tired of the sight, Cheong Woon-cheol, who was behind him, raised his spiritual power and developed a detection system magic.
however.
Whoops.
blah blah!
“Hey, how is this… … .”
The spiritual power that had spread in all directions after completing the search system was reflected back and forth in the mirror and lost its shape in an instant.
That meant the trick didn’t work.
“… Who on earth can create a barrier like this?”
It would be quite a shocking day for Chung Un-cheol. In fact, the level of magic that could not be destroyed even with his skills, which had a special express in front of him, appeared in front of his eyes.
After that, after several attempts, we had no choice but to proceed towards the entrance of the forest on our own feet, concluding that simple destruction was unreasonable.
“This is difficult, and even if you try to leave a mark, it will soon scatter. Isn’t there a possibility of getting lost forever from the inside?”
Cheong Ji-yeon’s concerns were justified. In fact, if you get stuck in this maze of the mirror forest, you won’t be able to find a way out and die of starvation.
At the moment when everyone’s expression hardened at those words, I moved without hesitation and stepped into the entrance for the first time.
jii ing.
As a result, my images began to be reflected in the mirrors scattered in all directions, and I reached out and handed it to the party before entering in earnest.
“Everyone has to hold onto each other. As you can see, it is difficult to tell the actual location of the place with the naked eye.”
“Hey, wait. Do you mean that you can find the right way in this as well?”
At Cheong Woon-cheol’s words full of questions, I gave the answer with a calm face.
“Yes. You can find it.”
It was clear that ordinary people would have a hard time crossing the maze, but my case was different.
In my head, through my experience, all the spaces of this mirror forest were entered as a map.
