MEMORIZE

If you define the area of the mountain range where the dragon sleeps, you can summarize it in one word.

Clownless.

It was so spacious and large that the end was invisible that not all areas were cleaned during the first round.

However, if we set the site with the remains as the destination, not the end of the mountain range, we can estimate how far we have left. Anyway, the key to the attack is the remains.

Anyway, if you think about it that way, as it is now close to the second and third days of rescuing Hangyeol, we can see that about a third of us have gone too far. In other words, the first gate, the entrance, and the second gate, the "Land of Wandering," passed safely.

And when you get to the crossroads that are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, you enter the third gate.

The third gate of the dragon-sleeping mountain range is uniquely divided into two areas. In other words, the forked road acts as a turning point.

If you go to the right, you'll find a region called the Land of Hatred, and if you go to the left....

"Now I know a little bit.”

At the moment when I was quietly continuing my thoughts, Vivien's distinctive clear and clear voice reminded me. As soon as she raises her eyes, she sees three women surrounding a burning bonfire.

Kim Hanbyeol, Cha Soorim, Vivien. These three were standing on the watch with me. That means the other nine Clan members are in a sleeping bag.

There was a reason for taking a rest now. For now, Hangyeol's rescue was successful, but Ahn Hyun's rescue is not guaranteed.

Also, the Clan members had been unknowingly exhausted from force and battle. Even considering the rest of the journey, it was now necessary to recover even a little bit.

"Kim Soohyun. I think I know a little now. What?"

Vivien spoke to me again. The tone contained a silent plea for a reply or a reflection of oneself.

I guess you're pretty upset about the wrong tree branch.'

I smiled softly. Cha So-rim and Kim Han-byul were so quiet that they didn't feel bored, but fortunately, Vivien opened the door for them.

I calmly poked at the bonfire and opened my mouth as I tried not to show that I liked it.

"What?"

"Why Baek Hangyul wandered around the place. So furthermore, I think I know what this mountain range is like.”

Vivienne's voice was elated, and there was a desire to say, "Just don't do it." Then, I felt like I could see Vivien, who was about to cry and buried his head between his knees. Well, honestly, there was a good chance it was a story I already knew.

However, Kim Han-byul and Cha Sori, who shine brightly in the eyes, immediately changed my mind. I don't think it's a bad story to hear at least once, and the situation wasn't a situation to play around with.

I stopped poking the bonfire and stared calmly at Vivien.

"Okay, tell me."

"What's with that arrogant look. I hate you."

"What?"

"Oh, no! That's not it! Yeah, you've mentioned the field effect before, haven't you? That's why I thought differently based on it!"

I feel like I've heard something very profane, but I decided to pass on the effort to quickly change the subject.

So as he raised his head to keep talking, Vivien continued with a more relieved look.

"Well, I mean...Dead man means a man who's lost his life, right?

"That's right."

"Yes, then, from that point of view, a lifeless human being stops everything. No heart, no body movement, no accidents. But since I entered the mountain range, the man I've seen doesn't seem like a man. Sometimes, I could hear words, memorize spells, and the way I fought seemed pretty much like a living human being. Then the problem here. How can the dead people who appear here act like humans when they are obviously cut off?”

"Soulless, tenacity, resentment, curse, etc."I don't know. Something similar happened in the frozen forest, so there are many factors that make what you say possible."

I answered quietly and then looked at Vivien. Perhaps so, Vivien nodded loudly and continued excitedly.

"All right, all right, let's go back to the field effect. Think about it. Why on earth did this field effect happen?"

"…there are two conditions when it happens. Either someone caused it artificially, or some conditions were met and naturally occurred."

"Right. Among them, I focused on natural occurrence. Because after putting together all the stories you've told me, there's a hypothesis."

"Proposition?"

Vivien smoothed her nose as if to organize her thoughts for a moment, and stretched herself as hard as she could, perhaps a little tired.

"Yes, at the end of the myth, Magnakarta, the dragon of the apocalypse, cursed humans. And the original spirit, tenacity, Han, things you just talked about?”

"These are the things...Natural occurrence is a combination of Magna Carta's curse and man's original spirit, tenacity, and one thing, creating a single field effect?"

"That's it! But, but...Kim Soo-hyun, why do humans have a grudge in this place? Is it because the dragon cursed?"

“…….”

I waited silently for Vivien's words. Kim Han-byeol and Cha So-rim also focused on Vivien.

Vivien glanced at the three of us and said with a deep smile.

"No, you fought for decades to regain control, and you must have made your mind to enter the final mountain range. But when the battle is almost over, does the dragon have a curse? I don't think so. Of course, there's a certain amount of connection.There must be a different, more direct reason for human resentment. For example, something very important happened here, which has not been reported in history."

Vivienne finally finished the long story. At the end, he continued to talk quickly without breathing, so his breathing is slightly rough. And I stared at Vivien with a new heart.

"What do you think, my story?”

'That's almost the answer.'

In the first car, users poured out various hypotheses about the mountain range in which dragons slept. Among them, the most popular hypothesis was "There is an event that we do not know about," which Vivien said was almost consistent with the hypothesis.

Of course, it's just a hypothesis. Which means it could be right or it might not. The answer may lie dormant in ruins, but eventually the truth was buried forever by sealing it in Istanbul Low.

Anyway, I think it makes sense, but for some reason I didn't want to admit it. There's no particular reason. I just don't want to see Vivien go "Ahem."

In the end, I replaced the answer by just shrugging my shoulders.

Vivien briefly smacked his lips to see if the reaction was too good. Then, he turned his head and looked at Kim Han-byul, who was quietly enjoying the bonfire.

"Jewel, how about you?"

"It's... it's noisy. Why am I a gem? I told you not to call me that."

Kim Han-byeol raised her eyebrows to the fullest extent, but saw me once and softened them. Perhaps, cautiously, you were just about to say, "Shut up."

"What's wrong? It's jewelry because it's a wizard using jewelry."

"Don't do it. I don't want to hear it. Why do you keep doing that? If you keep doing that, I'll call it a pension."

Kim Han-byul fiercely opposed it. Vivien pout her lips and grumbled, and this time she turned to Cha So-rim, who was still.

"How about Chang Chang? Did you hear me?”

"…Vivien La Clacidus. It's not good to talk too much on the fire. Please, be careful."

It's a window. Is it because I'm using a window?

Anyway, Chasori's voice was calm, but his hands were gently stroking the Arcus Valkyrie spear. I think it's a pretty interesting name, but it doesn't seem to be the case with the name being called. The tone of the last word, "Please, be careful," was so full that even I felt sincere.

I could see Vivien's shoulders drooping as he giggled inside. He looks sullen because he has made a plausible hypothesis, but he looks disappointed because the response is lukewarm. As expected, Vivien thought that face looked good on me and I calmly went into appreciation.

It was then. Vivienne, who had been complaining for a while, suddenly raised his head. Seeing that his face is full of indignation, he seems to be angry for no reason.

Soon I saw a hint of opening my mouth to me, so I immediately beat it up.

"Shut up."

"Then, Arrest...What! What!

"Don't call me that."

"No! It's my heart! What's wrong with this?"

"I order in the name of the contract. Please, that big mouth forever....”

"I'm so sorry."

Vivienne, who was angry even after farting, immediately fell flat on his stomach. It was a very simple suppression.

The night went so deep.

*

next day

After a two-hour break in three shifts of four, I immediately announced my departure for Ahn Hyun's rescue.

In fact, Clan members don't know the inside story yet, but since I confirmed Ahn's disappearance, I had already concluded that I should go inside the ruins. Because missing users are most likely there.

Of course, this is also just a one-time hypothesis. The mountain range where the dragon slept was an unexplored area, with nothing certain.

Although it departed in the morning, it was hard to tell whether it was morning or afternoon because the mountain was so rough and the trees were dense.

Thus, we were able to reach the forked road that Hangyul said within two hours of departure after three battles in total.

At a crossroads.

As long as it is a mountainous area, there will be a forked road, but this forked road is a bit special. The road was divided into two branches based on a large tree, which was clearly seen as a forked tree.

"This is... a fork in the road.

Twenty minutes ago, Nam Da-eun muttered to herself in a gasping voice to see if the aftermath of the battle was still there. Nam Da-eun's eyes were fixed on the big, dry, and crumbling tree in front of her.

I looked down on the left and right roads, and looked down on Hangyul with an uneasy face.

"You're saying you're on the right side of here.

"Yes, yes, I'm sure."

"How deep did you go?”

"It didn't even go in that much. About ten minutes? And…."

Hangyul was trying to continue, but suddenly frowned and groaned. He seems to be confused because he still has a shock in his head, although he has less anxiety than when he first rescued him.

"Let me know once you see where you've been to the end. I'll talk to you then."

"…Yes, I'm sorry."

He bowed his head and turned to the rear. As soon as I saw Hangyeol walking weakly, I immediately called Shin. Currently, the user in charge of Hangyul in general was Shin Jae-kwang.

I opened my mouth quietly.

"Is Hangyul in a bad condition right now?”

"If it's bad, it's bad. How much are you talking about?”

"…I wonder if I can join the rescue team normally if I overdo it.”

"Never."

Shin Jae-ryong shook his head without any room. It was a firm voice.

"…is it that bad?"

"Yes, I'd like to go back right now and let Hangyul rest."

"…Phew."

"Of course, I know this is because of Anhyun's rescue," he said.. You need to take care of it from the beginning to eliminate the aftereffects as much as possible. I don't know what you're thinking, Clan Lord. Please reconsider your participation. Maybe being in this place itself will be a burden to Hangyeol today."

In a recurrent earnest tone, I nodded to say yes. And he sighed once again as he looked at the crossroads.

I suddenly remembered what Vivien said yesterday. It doesn't matter if the road to the ruins is right or left. However, the road to the right where Anhyeon entered had a terrifying field effect called the "Land of Hatred."

That's why you need Hangyeol's defense to be protected from the field effect, but if you force him to do so....

"Should I have a heart party?"'

It occurred to me because there was a group of hearts that I had prepared just before my departure, but I shook my head right away.

Although the amount of supplies in the warehouse was swept away, the inventory that was held in the first place was insufficient. It was barely enough to return one by one to the Clan members. Moreover, I was in a hurry to start, so I couldn't afford to manufacture a sediment that had a working effect in this mountain range.

Also, considering the field effect of the remaining areas, Jungsimdan was more effective in using it at the fourth gate than the third gate, "Land of Hatred."

Let's go in for now.'

For now, the only way left is to get to the place that Hangyeol remembers. In the end, I thought I had no choice but to face it, so I straightened up and started walking.

I took a short step to the left, and immediately turned to the right. Then he turned his head and looked at the Clan members.

"Well, let's go."

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

Lee Yoo-jung and Kim Han-byeol, who had the least votes in the first round, will also go into the second round of voting. And I'd like to gather your opinions for the second round of voting.

I'd like to limit the total number of people to eight. Lee Yoo-jung and Kim Han-byul took two seats, so there are six seats left. It's not just that we vote for no reason, but as a result of the vote, characters with high votes are likely to be selected for the appearance ratio or illustration production in the future.

Except for the characters who participated in the first round of voting and Kim Soo-hyun (to prevent the votes from rushing to the main character). If there is a character you want to recommend, please leave a comment. I'll count them one by one and cut them from 1st to 6th place and put them up for the 2nd round of voting. I'll leave a comment if the vote is held. Thank you. _(__)_
