profit.
The gate opened and Sega stepped in.
After months of travel, I was finally able to arrive in Kuga.
The cold winter season has now become spring.
The time has come for flowers that have been resting for a while to bloom again.
It was already a year since I returned.
‘… It’s only been a year, but it feels like so much has passed.’
The pitiful body, which had difficulty climbing even one stairway, did all sorts of things to raise it to its climax.
Around this time of year, where are the childhood days when I was stuck in the corner of my room and expressing my depression?
In front of the name, a grandiose nickname of Jinryong was attached.
It has been a year of so many changes.
“Well?”
As soon as I opened the door and came in, I let out a noise.
When I arrived at Sega with my party, it was somehow quiet.
“what?”
Since I had sent a letter in advance, I had to come out to meet him.
The appearance of the users was almost invisible.
‘What’s going on.’
It was a strange atmosphere.
Even though it’s a house where you lock the door and hold your breath.
It’s not like this atmosphere.
“Why are you like that? Confucius?”
As I stand still, Dang So-yeol, who has followed me, approaches and asks me.
For reference, Dang So-yeol said that he did not go directly to Sacheon, but stayed in Guga for a while.
When asked if it was okay, Dang So-yeol slightly averted her gaze and said it was okay.
That’s obviously not okay… . I didn’t bother asking.
“No, it’s just a little quiet.”
“exactly… . It seems too quiet.”
It was quiet.
as strange as it is
Such silence can also turn into anxiety like this.
‘Something seems to be happening.’
Looking around, I moved to the center first.
No, I was going to move it.
The moment I was about to move, I felt someone running towards me.
At first I thought it was the commander-in-chief.
However, it soon became clear that the person approaching was not the commander-in-chief.
I could see a small, fragile body jumping this way.
It wasn’t long before I knew who it was.
Not to mention the unique uniform worn by blood relatives.
The beautifully braided hair was a familiar shape.
I said as I looked at the girl approaching me.
“Why are you… . Are you still here?”
The identity of the person who hurriedly ran this way was Guryeong-hwa.
Gu Ryeong-hwa is a person who should not be in the old house now.
Because of the timing, I should have left for Geomhu and Hwasan earlier.
So, why is such an old man here?
“Five… brother… .”
“you… . what’s the matter.”
Seeing her crying expression and trembling voice, I hurriedly approached her and grabbed her by the shoulder.
“what’s the matter.”
“Okay… .”
As I get closer, Gu Ryeong-hwa bursts into tears.
Apparently there was a real problem.
“First calm down… .”
“Elder Lee… Elder Lee… .”
“What?”
I tried to calm down Gu Ryeong-hwa, but rather, what Gu Ryeong-hwa said to me made my emotions fluctuate.
“… What did you say?”
I asked Gu Ryeong-hwa without hiding my fluctuating emotions.
“Ouch… .”
Gu Ryeong-hwa sheds tears at my words.
But now was not the time to appease it.
“… Elder Lee… .”
“Don’t cry and speak the truth.”
A somewhat ferocious tone came out, but now is not the time to think about such things.
Wi Seol-ah and Namgung-bia urgently come to Gu-ryeong-hwa, who is crying so much that she cannot speak, and begin to soothe her.
I couldn’t get my face off.
The sobbing Gu-ryeong-hwa speaks to me in a trembling voice.
I hoped I had heard it wrong.
“I-Elder Lee… . I might die.”
I had to swallow my breath at Gu Ryeong-hwa’s confirmed kill.
******************
Why didn’t Guryonghwa go to Hwasan yet?
Even though the blood relatives returned from Hanam, no one came out to meet them, and the atmosphere was rather chaotic.
Not to mention, even the desire to visit the elder Il upon arriving was not important now.
I almost ran into Sega’s room.
From the moment we arrived, it was full of the thick smell of blood.
A bandage that looked like it had been wiped off blood was piled up in one corner.
Uibang had to feel authentic because of the unmanned bets mixed in the air.
“… what is this… .”
Not only the members of the Gu Family, but also the members who seemed to be outsiders were busy moving.
The lawmakers were taking care of the patients while sweating.
The patients were all members of the Gu family swordsmen.
Judging by the pattern written on the stripped uniform.
They were all Five Swords.
I moved while observing the surroundings with my shaking eyes.
I raised the bet to find the sign I was looking for.
In the end, I was able to find what I was looking for.
I could feel the presence of Elder Lee in the room at the end of the room.
As soon as I started to step forward and enter the room.
Someone blocked me.
“Hey, you can’t go in!”
Looking at the person blocking the attack, the culprit trembled and took a step back.
The one who stopped me was a member of the Gu Family.
“What?”
As I glared at him with sparkling eyes, I saw the senator shaking his shoulders.
“… God, God’s elder is also at home. It’s an emergency, so don’t let anyone in… .”
“…”
Inside this door, Shinui seemed to be treating Elder Lee.
He wrote that trust, not anyone, is at stake.
It was the words of the person who is the best in the middle of the day, so I could see how critical the situation was.
I tried to relax my teeth and asked the doctor.
“… Where is the commander-in-chief?”
I barely resisted the urge to destroy anything.
I had to know first.
I mean, why did this happen?
“Meet the Bocchan.”
Shortly after my call, the general came directly to the medical room.
Normally, I would have gone to see the general.
I didn’t want to move here.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t find you on my way… .”
“Because I apologized. How did this happen?”
I cut off the old man handing me an apology.
Now was not the time to hear such words.
“What the hell happened, did it end up like this?”
“… There was a raid.”
“attack?”
“That’s right.”
It was something I couldn’t understand.
is it an attack?
‘Elder Lee was attacked… ?’
Aside from the position of Elder Lee, he is usually a person whose scope of activity is within the Gu family.
Of course, it seemed like I went to Anhui from time to time or went here and there.
It was incomprehensible that a soldier of the level of Lee Elder was attacked and his life was in critical condition.
‘Is it related to the Five Swordsman?’
I looked at the five swordsmen lying around sick.
It was none other than the Ohgeomdae where the eldest sister, Gu Hee-bi, was the principal.
Looking at this, a thought crossed my mind.
‘… Come to think of it.’
Before leaving for Hanam for the Yongbong branch.
I remembered what Elder Lee had said to me that he would visit Hee-bi Gu because she needed help.
Sure enough, the commander-in-chief spoke out about this.
“It is said that there was an attack from the front.”
“That attack is what caused it to be like this.”
I don’t know for sure, but I’m sure Elder Lee is at least a soldier who has crossed the borderline.
If you have reached Hwagyeong from Jungwon, it is a level that transcends the mask of a human being to be regarded as a human being.
The influence of one existence must be like a typhoon.
Who is this unmanned person who can be called a walking disaster?
why?
“Do you know the culprit?”
“Because we can’t be sure, we sent a search party to secure information… . It is said that there is a person to be expected when looking at the testimony.”
I immediately listened to the general’s words. Fortunately, the culprit seems to know.
After a moment of silence, the commander-in-chief spoke to me.
“The Black Night Palace.”
My eyes widen when I hear the name in my ear.
It had to be.
It was a completely unexpected name to hear now.
“… When combining the testimonies, we know that the person who perpetrated the attack was the Dark Night Palace.”
‘I’m the lord of the dark night palace… ?’
The owner of the Black Night Palace and one of Sima Oze.
A few years from now, he was a person who was scheduled to be killed at the same time as the Black Night Palace collapsed by the Murim Alliance.
‘… Why is someone like that?’
It is a part that can be known if he really is the owner of the Dark Night Palace when Elder Lee’s treatment is successfully completed.
If it was true, I had to find out if the Dark Night Lord had attacked Ohgeomdae and Elder Lee.
‘This, too, was unexpected.’
There was no memory of Elder Lee experiencing such a big thing at this time.
It’s possible that I can’t remember.
‘There’s no way I can’t remember this.’
No matter how tall he was, he couldn’t forget this.
The future is changing. I’ve been through countless times.
‘… Could things be like this?’
If it was something that hadn’t happened in the past, it was most likely that it had changed because of what I had done.
‘Then from where?’
Even if you have to find the twisted place, you won’t be able to solve it now.
He had to know how the footsteps of the Dark Night Lord arrived there.
“… for a moment.”
I was struggling to think through my pounding head.
I realized one important fact.
“General.”
“Yes… . young master.”
“Who is your sister?”
“…”
At my question, the shadow on the general’s expression deepened.
Oh sword belt is Goo Hee-bi’s sword belt.
If Elder Lee went to the front to help Hee-bi Gu.
Where is Goo Hee-bi?
“Where is your sister?”
There is no Goo Hee-bi in Uibang. Moreover, given Goo Hee-bi’s personality, if she was in good shape, there was no way she wouldn’t be here.
Even though his swordsman and Elder Lee were injured, he wasn’t a person who would be confined to his room and taking a leisurely rest.
So I had to know more about Gu Hee-bi’s whereabouts.
At my words, the commander-in-chief hesitated for a moment before speaking to me.
“… It is said that the lord of the Dark Night took the first lady.”
“under.”
At the commander’s words, I wiped my face with my hand.
It was a series of really crazy things.
******************
I spent time in the medical room leaning against the door without unpacking my luggage properly.
In the middle, Wi Seol-ah came over and tried to take care of the meal. It wasn’t like putting something in your mouth.
I was looking at the front while touching my dry lips.
This was not because he was looking at one place clearly, but because he couldn’t handle his distracted gaze and let go.
‘Gu Hee-bi was kidnapped.’
The commander-in-chief clearly said so. Gu Hee-bi was dragged away by the Black Night Palace.
‘Then, what was the purpose in the first place?’
Could it be that Gu Hee-bi was the reason why the Dark Night’s lord suddenly appeared on the front line and incapacitated Elder Lee and the Five Swordsman?
Then why did he take Gu Hee-bi with him?
‘Why? Why the heck is Gu Hee-bi?’
It was something I couldn’t understand no matter how much I thought about it.
‘… the problem is.’
It was because of this that his father was away from Sega.
‘Did they say it moved like a swordsman?’
My father said that Elder Lee left the family at the same time that he was entrusted to Shinui.
The purpose is probably the search and recovery site for Goo Hee-bi.
As long as something at the level of the Jinma Sutra was not opened, the father, who had not moved in the old house, moved himself.
It seemed that the father himself had decided that it was a serious matter.
To say it was a daughter’s job, I thought that the father was not a person who had such a deep love for children.
There seemed to be some other reason.

teeth are grinding
As soon as I came back from Hanam, I didn’t know that this situation would welcome me.
‘A nobleman who seems to be able to endure comfortably for the next ten years… .’
It was a situation full of questions about the ring I secretly entrusted with, as well as the letter of recommendation from Pazon.
Who knew that bear-like old man would lie down like that?
“… F*ck.”
The quiet whispered swear words moved the old man who was sleeping next to him slightly.
Because of that, I had to hold back the swearing that was about to come out.
Looking at such an old painting, I thought of Swordsman.
A master of Hwasan who was temporarily staying in Guga with Gu Ryeong-hwa.
‘They said that the swordsman also departed with the Ilgeomdae.’
I heard that not only my father, but also the swordsman who was staying with Gu Ryeong-hwa also moved his body to help.
I don’t know how much strength he regained after the sword fight, which had been encroached on by demonic energy.
Even if it was completely recovered, I was just grateful that Swordsman moved something that didn’t need to be moved.
I asked Bia Namgoong and Soyeol Dang to go to their room first.
Wi Seol-ah had asked Hong-wa to hold on to her.
I didn’t want anyone to see that expression.
Even more so for them.
When you foolishly wait for time to pass for a long time.
profit.
The door Shinui was treating opened slowly. As soon as I heard the sound, I immediately got up.
The one who dragged himself out of the door as if exhausted was trustworthy.
When Shinui found me waiting in front of the door, he made a surprised expression.
“Why are you here… .”
“faith… ! Is Elder Lee all right?”
When I cut off my words and start screaming, Shinui covers his ears and frowns.
“I’m going to lose my ears. Hey! Surprisingly, why are you screaming!”
grunt-
The fidelity that spits out words like a shouting roars and stumbles.
Seeing that, I immediately supported my faith.
“… Are you okay?”
“It’s okay because you’ve been sitting for so long. It’s all because I’m old.”
Saying that, Shinui took off her clothes.
“The treatment went well. It will take a long time to recover your energy. You will open your eyes soon.”
I let out the sigh I had been holding back. Seeing me like that, Shinui briefly clicked her tongue.
“Did you get stuck here as soon as you got back?”
“…”
“What’s different if you’re a fool and not a member of the council wait here?”
Sinui spat out the words curtly and moved out of my way.
As if to go in.
I immediately stepped into the room.
“…!”
Inside the room, Elder Lee was lying flat.
The room looked especially small with the huge body lying down, but that’s not what I’m looking at now.
‘… There are traces of penetration to the upper body.’
Even though the treatment was over, traces remained openly.
Even the bandages wrapped around it couldn’t cover it, and it was visible.
It was expected that it would have been a fatal wound, even if it was not a big one on Elder Lee’s body.
Besides that, I felt like I knew how messed up my body was.
Following this, the faith that came in added words as if to explain.
“Even in a state of unconsciousness, the bet was stopping the bleeding. Even more so, the regenerative power was excellent. If even one was weak, it would have been a wound that would have died long ago. What a monstrous body it is.”
“… ha.”
“Once you’ve checked, go now, you’re out of your mind when you’re here.”
“… Do you know when you will wake up?”
Shinui snorted and answered my question.
“If I knew that, would I have been a doctor instead of a shaman? Your eyes will open within four days at the most, so stop worrying about unnecessary things and go away!”
Despite spitting it out ferociously, it contained all the information.
He was telling me to stop worrying and go get some rest, so I looked at Elder Lee for a while and then turned my back.
As God said, even if I were here right now, there was nothing I could do right now.
“… i look forward to. I will see you after a proper greeting.”
“huh.”
I put my faith behind me, carefully hugged the old woman, and then went out of the medical room.
Soon after, the guryeonghwa was handed over to the attendant who was waiting outside.
“He probably won’t wake up easily, so just take him to his room and let him go.”
“All right.”
It’s not going to happen because it’s been secretly injecting blood into Gu Ryeong-hwa.
Maybe tomorrow morning I’ll wake up on my own.
“Should I call the residence and ask them to prepare a meal?”
The attendant seemed worried about me for skipping meals, but brought it up.
I shook my head and refused.
“done. I don’t want to eat anything right now. Besides.”
Uduk.
I relaxed my shoulders and looked in a certain direction.
“I have a place to go to.”
It calmed the speculation that fluctuated along with emotions.
This is because mixed feelings about Lee Elder and Gu Hee-bi had to be excluded.
“It will be a bit late.”
Saying so, he moved on.
The place I was headed was Guseonmun Gate, where Iljangro was located.
