Frontlines are signs of disaster.

It is a proof of history that happened in the past.

It was evidence that the peace that many people say was barely established was not perfect.

The Unclosed Magician Gate.

An area devastated by demons.

A normal human being would not be able to live there.

It was also a dangerous area infested with countless monsters.

Under the pretext of reducing further damage in Murimmaeng.

Several years ago, along with the men of the Blind, he had been managing the frontlines in collaboration with military men belonging to the political faction.

Coincidentally, the front line was not very far from Shanxi.

Elder Lee was able to arrive right away within a short time after receiving the letter from Gu Hee-bi.

“You can clearly see the cracks.”

A huge gate to the Magic World opened in front of my eyes.

Unlike other places, this place was directly managed by only the main figures of the Gu family.

And, it was only the Kuga family that was given and managed this specific area.

“How did Elder Lee come? ?”

It’s been a month since Elder Lee arrived at the front, where Gu Hee-bi is.

Goo Hee-bi, who returned belatedly from dealing with the monsters on the other side, asked while looking at Elder Lee.

Seeing Gu Hee-bi like that, Elder Lee chuckled.

“Heebi, didn’t you call the old lady? My pretty granddaughter is calling, and this old lady has to come right away!”

“… I asked for a specialist to be called because I was experiencing abnormal symptoms.”

“That’s why the old lady came! If you are an expert, wouldn’t it be Lee Gu-ryun?”

At first glance, it seemed that he was trying to get out of Sega.

It’s just amazing how a nobleman called Elder could do that.

‘I’m afraid my brother will learn from watching that… ‘

“yes? What did you say?”

“it’s nothing. You must be busy, but thank you for coming. Elder Lee.”

No matter what the situation was, the expert was right when it was actually Lee Elder.

Even if he was helpless, he was an unmanned soldier who touched the hwagyeong, so it was okay if he was helpful, there was no way he couldn’t.

“by the way… ”

Elder Lee swept his beard while looking at the demon scene in front of him.

“This is the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”

It is normal for the Magic Gate, which is a mixture of various colors, to shudder incomprehensibly.

What was in front of me was different.

Of course, the color has changed to a deep black.

There were cracks around it as if it had been cracked.

“Are doors in other regions like this?”

“no. Only this one was like this.”

“… Whoa.”

There are a total of three places that Kuga manages separately in the front line.

This was the place where the smallest of them was located.

“Are there any other problems besides this?”

“So far nothing has happened other than changing color and seeing gold all around.”

After hearing Gu Hee-bi’s explanation, Elder Lee nodded.

“I guess I’ll have to report to the family head separately. Maybe it’s because it’s the time when the gates of the True Demonic Tradition are opened.”

“Has there been no contact from Shaolin?”

“Even if Cheonan didn’t mention it, you can’t help but prepare for the unexpected.”

Shaolin. Because you can’t just trust Cheonan.

The elder Lee did not utter the words that followed.

‘It’s strange.’

It felt like something unknown was happening a lot lately.

As the saying goes, good things and bad things happen at the same time.

The maniac of the family, which was the cause of Elder Lee’s anxiety and worry.

I woke up to my dormant talent and flew up.

At some point, he crossed the wall and entered the ranks of masters.

Perhaps, if he wishes, he will be able to stand out in the untitled and gain fame as well.

‘Even though I was told to come after an accident. I’m worried.’

It was a bit of a regret, not a regret.

Even if you don’t hit, to the guy who will hit. I was told to come back after having an accident.

“That… .”

While Elder Lee was lost in thought.

Heebi Gu called to Elder Lee in a calm voice.

Seeing Gu Hee-bi like that, Elder Lee gave an answer without hesitation.

“Yangchun is doing well.”

“…great!”

Goo Hee-bi’s expression changes strangely at Elder Lee’s words. Like how did you know.

“Isn’t that what you meant to ask?”

“No, yes… .”

Elder Lee clicked his tongue as he saw Goo Hee-bi making an embarrassing expression.

That kid was too extreme.

There are already rumors in the middle court that Goo Hee-bi’s Seongjeol hair is quite dirty.

When it comes to my sister, people change.

“Let go of that worry. You are not a parent, and you cannot hold Yangchun in your arms forever.”

“What do you mean by the person who bought Yangchun the cheapest?”

“That’s what the kid is talking about when he’s out of his mind.”

“Your brother is still sick.”

It was.

I keep forgetting what I’m doing these days because I don’t feel like a child.

Guyangcheon was still at an age that was difficult to be called a young man.

But the elder Lee did not give up his opinion.

“Since he will one day become the head of the household, if he flies up, it means that he must be released.”

“…”

Goo Hee-bi seems to understand this and does not bother to say anything else.

It is a confirmed story that Gu Yangcheon will become the family head.

Gu Yeon-seo and Iljang-ro, the second daughter of the householder, seemed to have different ideas.

Just because their thoughts are different doesn’t mean it’s different.

Even if it is not Gu Yang-chun’s own idea.

No matter how talented Goo Hee-bi is, it is said that she has exceptional abilities.

There is no substitute for Guyangcheon.

She must be well aware of that.

In the first place, Gu Hee-bi herself had no desire to become a family head.

Goo Hee-bi had planned to run away from the family someday, rather than living with such cumbersome things.

“I just hope he doesn’t have to lift a heavy load.”

“I’m like that too, but it’s not something I can listen to instead.”

Such is the work of the family head.

I can be by your side, but I can’t listen to you.

It is the same when you look at the current head of household, Koo Chul-woon.

He silently accepted the load on his shoulders.

“What you are doing now is, in the end, the child’s job to do after all.”

“I know.”

just before that.

I just want my brother to be comfortable.

As if reading Gu Hee-bi’s thoughts, Elder Lee spoke to Gu Hee-bi in a dejected voice.

“… Why don’t you share that kind of heart with Yeon-seo?”

“Yes? We are prettier together.”

Guyangcheon, Guyeonseo, Guryonghwado.

Goo Hee-bi was giving love normally.

When Goo Hee-bi made an expression asking why did she say such a thing, Elder Lee had no choice but to shake his head.

‘No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like it.’

Elder Lee could know very well from the difference in attitude between Gu Yang-cheon and Gu Hee-bi towards Gu Yeon-seo.

Gu Yeon-seo knew that all too well, so maybe he was looking at Gu Yang-cheon with a bad eye.

“We exchange letters often. You seemed to be doing well.”

“… that, no It became.”

If I had to bring it up more, the conversation would have been at a standstill.

The elder decided to just skip it.

While observing the state of the Ma Gyungmun a little more, Gu Hee-bi added a comment.

“My child is immature, so I hope he doesn’t have an accident when he goes to Hanam.”

At the words he spat out as if he was worried, Elder Lee said as if he was dumbfounded.

“… Didn’t Heebi have a lot of accidents when she went there too?”

How surprised I was when I heard the news that I almost turned the Yongbong branch into a sea of fire.

To put it bluntly, the blunt head of the Gu family brought Goo Hee-bi away and scolded her.

Goo Hee-bi protested as if it was unfair.

“… I didn’t even know the subject and was flirting, so I just looked after her.”

“When you heard that you burned all your hair, did the old lady go crazy?”

“I should have sent Shaolin after burning everything.”

“… Who the hell do you look like and have a personality like that… for a moment.”

Elder Lee, who was sighing and lamenting, felt something strange about the conversation and cut off his words.

Immediately after, he looked at Goo Hee-bi and asked.

“By the way, how do you know that Yang Cheon-i went to Hanam?”

“… !”

“I’m sure I haven’t told you that yet?”

Goo Hee-bi made a rare expression of bewilderment at Elder Lee’s sharp words.

He averted his gaze, and saw a cold sweat dripping down his cheek.

“… Are you happy?”

“It’s not like that. I just wondered if that was the case… !”

Goo Hee-bi had to shut her mouth as if she was urgently trying to explain.

Because I had to roll on the floor at Elder Lee’s sudden touch.

thud!

“Elder Lee… ! this now… !”

Goo Hui-bi, barely able to stand up from a distance, looked in the direction of Elder Lee, and her body froze.

For darkness has descended upon the parched land.

It was a sudden appearance indeed, considering whether it was originally there.

What’s more, such an ominous sign.

Gu Hee-bi couldn’t feel its presence until the moment it appeared. It was only now that he noticed such a huge presence.

What would have happened if Elder Lee had not pushed and protected him right away?

Creepy goose bumps running down your shoulders and down your spine.

Goo Hee-bi immediately tried to draw the sword, but her hardened body did not listen.

I can see the light in the deep darkness.

It was this elder who radiated heat.

The body, dyed red from the heat, gives the illusion that it is surrounded by flames.

The presence that had been pressuring Gu Hee-bi’s breathing was finally able to breathe thanks to Elder Lee’s energy.

As Elder Lee bleeds out the heat and raises his fighting spirit, a voice can be heard.

“It’s been a while, Yeom Ah Kwon.”

These were the words of the man clad in darkness to Elder Lee.

Elder Lee looked at the man and nodded! and break it

“… Why are you here?”

“I didn’t know you were there.”

“Yeah man!”

Elder Lee’s shout echoed everywhere.

The still floor is dug up and begins to crack.

Elder Lee’s steel-like body swelled and the surroundings began to fill up with heat enough to feel the heat even for Gu Hee-bi, who had mastered chemistry.

“You must have promised not to show that disgusting face any more, right?”

At Elder Lee’s words, the man is silent for a moment, then smiles.

“Ah, that pitiful pact. I decided to wake up now, because there is so much to do.”

“… what?”

Despite Elder Lee’s question, the man looks around as if he doesn’t care. The man who was looking around like that turned his eyes to Goo Hee-bi.

The man who found Goo Hee-bi smiled wide.

“I found it.”

There is not a single point of contrast in black eyes.

Like the surrounding darkness, the man’s pupils were grotesque.

When Goo Hee-bi vaguely realizes that the man’s purpose is himself.

Elder Lee stretched out his fist.

Wow!

The surroundings are swept away with one punch from Elder Lee.

It was strong enough to change the shape of the terrain with just one blow.

The soldier’s heavy bet that touches the hwagyeong shoots out on the heat and attacks the man.

“Keuk!”

Before the fist closes, the man’s darkness attacks the man and Elder Lee.

As such, the catastrophe that emerged was so sudden.

******************

– And in the end, I couldn’t keep the joy.

This is what Elder Lee left me with at the end of his explanation.

The look on Elder Lee’s face when he finished speaking was so desperate that he couldn’t even utter a word.

‘… The princess appeared on the battlefield?’

The lord of the Dark Night Palace who is famous for not moving in the main palace.

A martial art that seemed to be wrapped in darkness.

It was definitely a characteristic of the martial arts used by the Dark Night Master.

I’ve only heard of it, but I’ve never actually seen it.

‘Apart from that, why is Hee-bi Gu?’

It was said that the Dark Night’s mistress took Gu Hee-bi to the point where she dragged herself to appear.

Second of all, it was something that hadn’t happened in my previous life.

Because of that, Elder Lee almost died.

My father even went out of town with a swordsman.

‘I don’t know why… .’

It was a really bad situation.

Because there is nothing to know.

[That’s why I couldn’t ask anything.]

‘… It’s not a question.’

What happened to Pazon’s letter of recommendation, and what about the ring?

There were a lot of things I wanted to ask why.

Considering the expression and atmosphere that Elder Lee had just before, there was nothing he could ask.

‘About the phrase… .’

I wanted to find out how things were going outside.

It was impossible right now.

‘It wouldn’t be too dangerous if the other elders moved.’

The current situation where I had to stay still was the problem.

[Can’t we just leave?]

Like Shin Noya said, he could break through right away.

It wasn’t that the bet was blocked, and it wasn’t that I was tied up with restraints.

It’s just a show off under the words of the general.

Anyway, killing the elder was right.

Until the justification for doing so is clearly clarified.

Or, it had to be like this until my father came back.

The camp that Iljangro planted underground is very strong.

Not to mention, it won’t be easy since the power of the Gu family is relatively low.

It didn’t seem like it would take too long.

‘I wonder if the kids are doing well.’

As soon as we returned to Sega together, something happened and I couldn’t even see my face properly.

According to Elder Lee, Wi Seol-ah cries every day.

It seems that Wi Seol-ah laughs a lot and also cries a lot.

I was more worried because I wasn’t the type to cry as much as I thought.

Wouldn’t Bia Namgoong and Dang Soyeol just stay calm?

I hope so.

“More than anything else… .”

He said that his father dragged him out, but it was questionable whether he would be able to find it.

The information about the Dark Night Palace that I know right now is limited.

Even then, there was little talk of location.

The few things I knew were not the main shrine called the main palace. Even more, it is close to useless information as of now.

In the past, I only heard that the Dark Night Palace was destroyed by the Murim Meng.

‘How can I… .’

I turned around and thought about how to do this.

The time was already dawn, and I thought it would be better to practice deep air instead of sleeping.

It was already hard to concentrate.

Is it because I tossed and turned for so long?

The lucky bag tied to the waist suddenly falls to the floor.

Rather than being tossed and tossed, it seemed like the ropes that tied them were worn out.

When I try to pick up the bag again, a marble rolls out from inside the bag.

It was a small marble with a scarlet hue.

“Ah, this.”

I remembered it as soon as I saw the beads.

It was definitely something Gu Hee-bi told her to tie around her waist and carry it around.

They said that if you leave it there, you will die, so I carried it without realizing it.

By now, I had forgotten that I had attached this to my belt.

I tried to catch the rolling orb, but my hands trembled and stopped.

“… Tsk.”

It was because blood was flowing from his hand along with a tingling pain.

It was probably a cut from the elder’s fight, but he noticed it now that it was all over.

It wasn’t that deep, so I ignored it and picked up the marble.

“It looks expensive for buying it from a merchant.”

[That’s right. It doesn’t look cheap.]

It was too bright to be called a cheap gemstone.

I looked at the marble for a second and tried to put it back in my pocket.

Uh-

“Well?”

[Huh?]

A strange noise was heard from the marble, and it began to vibrate rapidly.

Gee-!

“Why is he like this again… ?”

I was about to throw the bead far away in a hurry to see if it would explode.

The marble emitted a shallow light for a moment, then stopped moving as if nothing had happened.

While examining those beads, I said in an absurd voice.

“… What the hell did this crazy person buy?”

They say it’s like a lucky charm, but it’s actually a vibrating marble, what kind of weird thing do you mean?

It was an unknowingly creepy feeling.

I clicked my tongue once and tried to put the beads back into the lucky bag. As I averted my eyes, I stopped.

“uh?”

This is because the visual field of view has changed significantly.
