MEMORIZE

As he quickly increased his mana and expanded his senses, the sign felt more detailed. More than 10 people, to be exact, were suffering from detection. But it was a little strange. Eleven were apparently approaching where we were. But it was a very clumsy move, not considered vagabond. Also, the number is small and above all, I can't feel alive. It's like you're looking for someone with great care.

'Do you happen to...'

"Suhyun, it's 50 meters ahead."

"I know."

The voice of a high performer who calls me. There's no way she doesn't feel what I know. As he nodded and calmly held his breath, Ko Yeon-ju's words continued.

"I smell a little blood. I'm sure it's from Mule. Shall we get ready for battle?”

"I don't think they're vagabonds.But let's be prepared just in case."

The Clan members looked curious at first, but soon a dark shadow crossed their faces to see if they understood. Starting with Ko Yeon-ju holding the tirbing, Kim Han-byeol, Ahn Sol, and the old man also took out their cane and were wary of the front. Feeling the tension slowly rising, I activated my senses.

Crunch!

There was a slight shaking in the silent undergrowth with the sound of stepping on the grass. And the shaking was getting worse. The flag had already come close.

Has it been that long since about 10 seconds? As Clan members' staff slowly moved forward, the cluttered bushes split left and right, creating a small gap. At the same time, a small head popped out of the hole.

"…Growl.Cha."

“…….”

And the moment of silence that came. The face revealed through the bushes was the appearance of a girl who still looked a lot younger. Now I'm just a high school student, or maybe a middle school student. It was a cute impression with chubby cheeks and round features that didn't lose baby fat.

The girl tilted her head to see if she saw a cane pointing at her. However, he blinked once or twice and soon began to look at us with clear eyes. It was as if he didn't care about the cane.

I met her eyes when the Clan members were looking back and forth at each other in confusion. At that moment, her face turning clockwise stopped and began staring at me.

I decided to open my mouth first.

"Who are you?"

“…….”

I asked in a low voice, but the answer didn't return. In no time, eleven people stopped behind the girl.

When I looked at it without saying anything, I was about to feel a little stuffy in my heart. At that moment, the girl's lips fell off gently.

"Phew."

The child let out a short sigh and soon turned back. It was not long before I heard a young voice speaking to someone.

"I found it."

Princica, a general city in the eastern part of the North Continent.

It was just five days after Kim Soo-hyun visited the Hamil Clan and left Princica after sharing the sunset with his brother. During that five-day period, the North Continent was seething like a beehive.

On the day Kim Soo-hyun left Princica, the vagrants took advantage of the darkness and invaded Mul. Eventually, the Warp Gate was damaged, which cut off traffic to all cities.

Users didn't think it was too strange at first. These days, traffic has often been cut off, so I was just unhappy and didn't think that the vagrants would have attacked.

However, as it continued for more than two days, users began to think strange. And the growing discontent began to turn into chaos when not only the center and the west, but even the two northern cities, noticed that they had lost traffic with Mule.

It wasn't just traffic. I couldn't get in touch with him. Honestly, no matter how bad they were at riding time, at least one user would contact them. Some suspicious users tried to communicate with acquaintances using crystal ball, but failed repeatedly due to strong mana interference.

Only then did users begin to panic. The suspicion that he had turned away from until then quickly raised his head.

But that wasn't the end of it. After two more days, traffic with Dorothy (a small town in northwest direction) and Beth (a small town in southwest direction) was cut off this time. It was also done almost at the same time as if it had been promised.

And as soon as Dorothy and Beth, who were late preparing for the rescue, confirmed that news of the attack, which had been circulating only a few people, turned out to be true.

The sudden, unannounced raid threw all the cities into chaos.

It was no exception to Princica, who was away from the disputed area.

"Gasp! Gasp!"

A man rushes down the hall without hesitation. The male identity was Lee Jun-sung, one of the users who was with Kim Soo-hyun when he visited. Whether there was something so urgent or not, his usual cold face was red and looked so urgent.

Soon when Lee Jun-sung reached the fourth floor, Seo Ga-hee was leaving the door open. He shouted loudly at her.

"Gasp, door! Gasp, open it!"

"Junseong oppa? Yoohyeon oppa is...!”

"Listen to the call, and then, bring it back!"

Lee Joon-sung answered briefly, asking if he was out of breath. And when I said, "Come!" I had already run to the door. He stormed at the door, shouting out what he hadn't said yet.

Gulp! Bang!

"There is! Whoops! Whoops!"

"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! You scared me, you idiot!"

There was a woman in the room leaning against the bed. And the moment Lee Joon-sung kicked in the door, the woman frowned and screamed. Unlike the cold and mature appearance, women's voices were sharp and pointed like children.

"Hak! Hak! Hyoeul, Noo, Noo! Noo!" Crane! Crane! Oh, my God.Oh, no, finally get up...Crane! Crane!

"Hak, Hak? Gi, I feel bad! Take a breath, you idiot!

Lee Hyo-eul snapped sharply and threw a bottle of water around her. Lee Joon-sung grabbed it lightly and gulped it down. She kicked her tongue in disapproval and shook her head.

"For God's sake, you're the man I see as soon as I wake up.It's annoying."

"Phew…, sister. I mean...I don't know what to say first.First of all, congratulations on waking up....”

At Lee Joon-sung's words, Lee Hyo-eul snorted and shook her hand.

"Never mind, you're in trouble. Don't stutter and tell me straight.”

Lee Joon-sung gulped once and stared at Lee Hyo-eun, calmly choosing his breath. On the bed, she was staring at him with her legs crossed and arrogant face.

"Northern continental cities are under attack. The vagrants joined hands with the West Continents!”

"Sickness."

"Sister! I'm not lying!"

"Oh, I see. Be quiet."

Lee Joon-sung stared at Lee Hyo-eul with a surprised face. It was obvious that this was important news, but she didn't even raise an eye. Given that most users who first heard the news did not believe it, Lee Hyo-eul's response was certainly unexpected.

"Whew, Lawrence, did this girl end up failing?So, where are you being attacked?"

"Mul, Dorothy, Beth. They stormed Mule first, Dorothy and Beth stormed at the same time."

"Mulla…."

Lee Hyo-eul scratched her head with a troubled face and smiled bitterly. Soon after, she smacked her lips and reached out her palm to Lee Joon-sung. He looked puzzled at Lee Hyo-eul's milky and shiny palm and then opened his mouth.

"Sister, as soon as I wake up...You're not feeling well..”

“…….”

"Oh, I see. I'll give it to you."

When Lee Hyo-eul gave him a sharp glare, Lee Joon-sung quickly searched his arms and took a piece at the beginning of the year. And as soon as she bit at the beginning of the year, she also displayed a service spirit that lit the fire. Lee Hyo-eul took a deep sip with a satisfied face, and said with a long sigh of smoke.

"Whoo~ I'm going to live now. So, is that a big deal?”

"What? That's true, but...Actually, that's not the problem. You just happened to get up."

“?”

When Lee Hyo-eul tickled his head as if to speak, Lee Joon-sung expressed his unfairness as if he were telling the truth.

"Oh, now, Clan Lord is making a fuss about going to Mule!"

Lee Hyo-eul coughed loudly while washing the beginning of the year.

"Cough cough! What, what?"

"The atmosphere is no joke right now. Mule has a real brother.!”

"Wait. Your real brother? Kim Yoo-hyun? What nonsense is that?!”

"It's not nonsense. Lee Hyo-eul."

It was then. Behind Lee Joon-sung's back, a cold voice struck the room like lightning.

Snap, snap!

In the middle of the campsite, a bonfire burns. I sat on dry leaves and stared still at the bonfire. I was quietly watching the fire splashing, when I heard someone plodding from behind.

"Mercury Road. You must be tired, so should we stop taking turns?”

I turned my head slowly at the sudden voice. A man with a neat look was smiling at me. His name was Cho Seung-woo, one of the users who joined us a few days ago.

I answered, shaking my head calmly.

"That's all right. We still have time to change."

"Ha ha. I can't sleep today."

Cho Seung-woo sat next to me, smiling calmly. I kind of stepped aside.

There was a moment of silence. Only a fireball from the bonfire occasionally splashed through the air. How long has it been? Cho Seung-woo thought he was looking at the bonfire for a moment, but soon opened his mouth quietly.

"We really appreciate your help."

"No, I don't think I've helped you with anything. We're just moving together..”

"No, I'm not just talking about joining. I'm very grateful for your help in the square, for opening the way, and for accepting us who are injured."

"Ha ha. If you listen to it one more time, you'll get a scab on your ear. It's really okay, so you can stop talking."

"As expected, you are a humble man. I respect you so much."

"You're very self-conscious.'

I sighed for a long time because he interpreted it well no matter what he said.

Cho Seung-woo was one of dozens of users who followed me from the square. And he was one of the 11 lucky people to avoid the vagabonds.

I can't say that Cho Seung-woo's words were very wrong just now, but I felt so funny right now.

In the city, they were only moving for me and the Clan members, not with others in mind. In fact, I only packed my Clan One while passing through the outlying area, but other users didn't care. But Cho Seung-woo, following along, brought all the users I had just passed by. As such, Cho Seung-woo was the one who should be praised.

It was not entirely in good faith to accept the injured. There were said to have been injuries, but not to the leg. We have completed some treatment, and since there are three wizards, there is no significant disruption to the speed of the march. They could also be used as a shield for Clan members in the event of a mishap.

In other words, in the current situation, it was advantageous to move together in this way or that way. That's why I allowed him to join.

Of course, food and drinking water can be a problem as the number of people increases. But now that we were walking along the river, we could procure our own food and drinking water. If it didn't work out, we could have caught a forest animal for food.

Anyway, there were two things to be careful about at the moment. Monsters and trackers. I ran into a monster a few times as I walked through the forest. But there wasn't much trouble dealing with it.

Then there's only one thing left, but the tracker was a little vague.

Personally, it was unlikely that the vagabond would have set up a tracker. Although they have their own characteristics, there is no way they can send a tracking team to catch a user who has already fled without a crazy commander.

Don't let your guard down. I was preparing myself for the chase. The way we passed was being played to a minimum, and the impermanence was being thoroughly set.

Honestly, it's good for everyone not to come. However, I didn't want even a few dozen people to come. Because I was wondering why Mule invaded first, if the tracking team came, some people could catch it and dig for information.

"What do you think that way?”

While I was deep in thought, I heard Cho Seung-woo's voice. He was glancing at me with his fingers stuck in his lap.

"I just thought about this and that."

"Ha ha. I thought you were sleeping because you were closing your eyes. It's time for your shift, so go in and sleep."

At Cho Seung-woo's suggestion, I calmly punched my head.

"Okay, then I look forward to your kind cooperation. If you stand on your own watch without waking anyone up like the day before yesterday, you will be excluded from the watch for the next two days."

"Oh, no. I'll have to stay up all night for the next two nights."

"I'll take back what I just said."

"Ha ha. I'm kidding."

After chatting with Cho Seung-woo, I held my hands to the ground. Still, I was thinking of turning it around before I go as it was just in case. The right hand still felt the touch of dry leaves, but the left hand felt the soft soil. I slowly pulled myself up, creating mana. No, it was a moment to get up.

It was then.

"Hmm? Aren't you going in?"

“…….”

"Mercury Road?"

A slight wave was felt in the mana of the hand holding the soil. It was such a shaking that it would not have been noticed if it had not touched the soil deeply.

And the wobble was growing little by little by little.

============================ Review of the work ============================

Hello, readers. How was your gloomy Monday? Haha. I feel really good today. And it's very subtle. I was worried that the comment section might overheat like last time, but you kept the right line. Thank you! :D

And I changed the cover. The cover of this song is divided between likes and dislikes. Haha. I'm so sorry! It's a little too much to change the cover right now. Instead, I will use it alternately with the seraph cover at appropriate intervals. We ask for your understanding. :)

PS. Oh, Victoria's glory will make its debut next time.
