MEMORIZE

"Mercenary has the status of free mercenaries for all Clan One members. In other words, it is not technically part of the North Continent. Didn't you participate in this attack as a mercenary in the first place?”

"So what?"

"What?"

"That's what it's like. Literally we are mercenaries. I am confident that I participated as a mercenary and played better than any Clan. Fortunately, the attack ended with a success, and now that I've completed the request, I need to get paid. I'm asking for an opportunity to become a representative clan in that concept. Is there a problem here?"

Another man sat down, mute with honeyed silence. But there were still users standing up. How many people has this been? Was it the 6th?

"Wait a minute. The mechanical rod keeps mentioning the ball of Zahlan. You certainly took the lead, but technically, you have to take credit for the entire Southern expedition. That's the part you can't see separately. I mean…."

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll ask too. What did the Eastern Expedition do in this attack on the Steel Mountains?"

"Well, that's... Eh…First of all, by successfully targeting the area 1 and building a fortress...To secure a stable entry path for the late expedition....”

"Isn't every expedition in common?"

Speaking in a ridiculous mood, the man tilted his head.

"Is that so? Oh, come to think of it, I guess so. No, you're right. …Ah! I also led the expedition after entering Atlanta. But with the city at hand, there was an accident that no one expected. It's been really devastating. I think you should take this into consideration."

"Aha. By the way, do you know this? To be exact, the leading expedition was the South until the day before the city was discovered. But that night, something unsavory happened in the Northwest expedition, and the Eastern expedition was at the forefront as an excuse. All the commanders gathered and Koryo Road asked for it himself. On my own, I'll go.”

I emphasized the word self. I mean, it was your choice, who do you blame? In fact, nothing more than whining because there was nothing to say.

The man also looks pitiful to see if he understood me. But I shook my head slowly. No, I don't want to cut you some slack. Go back.

The man had been standing for a while, but eventually sat down with his eyes twirled. After a while, a heavy silence fell. This is exactly the sixth person, but there seemed to be no more cards to put forward. It was understandable. Apparently, the East has put a lot of effort into preparing for this meeting, but I must have been speechless because I hit everything back. I can't say anything, but the expression on my face is worth seeing.

"…I'll say something this time."

At that time, a user slowly rose up in the middle of a silent East greeting. The moment I looked at the neat man with wise eyes, I felt a little nervous. It was Sung Hyun-min, a Korean road, who quietly raised his hand and asked for the right to speak.

"I heard that you were pushed out of the fight with Cho Sung-ho..’

After the death of Koryo Lord in the war against the Allies, the eastern part of the country fought a subtle war of wits. No. I almost did, to be exact. However, Cho Seong-ho, a quick-witted person, organized the surrounding situation, including a clan of Sung Hyun-min.

However, Sung Hyun-min survived the cleanup process. Of course, it is true that he has not been highly valued, but the fact that he survived under Cho Seong-ho's character, who always eliminates the political opponent, means that Sung Hyun-min has some skills.

Isn't that so just by looking at the Steel Mountains? The reason why Sung Hyun-min was able to live this time was because he was deployed to the rear unit in charge of the expedition's unpleasant work.

Regardless of whether it was the first car or the second car, Sung Hyun-min was not the one to let his guard down. For the first time since the meeting, I felt nervous and relieved.

Soon after, Seong Hyun-min slowly opened his mouth.

"The representative Clan is…No, I'll correct my words."

Is Sung Hyun-min nervous, too? Stir your head for a while and wet your mouth. Such eyes of Sung Hyun-min had an unexpected determination.

"In fact, when I first heard that the Martial Clan participated in the city selection process, I was a user who was looking forward to it. Because of the characteristics of the Clan, who is in charge of mercenaries, I thought it would go well with the role of the representative Clan."

It certainly was. Considering the users who ask for research and who to save, the museum has gained experience by performing numerous requests. As a woman who is deeply crushed now says, it is not that she has no experience.

"But."

Here, Sung Hyun-min reversed his words.

"Since the disappearance of the Commercial Road, the movement of the Commercial Clan has disappointed me a lot. Of course, it's a personal feeling, but....”

I knew this would come out. In fact, it has been a problem that has emerged as a weakness for the fashion since it was in the North Continent. I focused on Sung Hyun-min's words, thinking about what to say in advance.

"The representative Clan needs to be firm. No matter what happens, you must be able to manage the city fairly and coldly at all times."

Sung Hyun-min's words continued.

"I mean, three years ago during the war, for example. After Koryo Road, user Cho Sung-ho quickly stabilized the surroundings. In comparison, however, only bad rumors have been circulating about the MERIALY KLAN."

Sung Hyun-min who was trying to organize himself. Am I having fun in this situation? Before I know it, I am smiling with my arms crossed.

"Although now the Medical Road is back….”

Soon, Sung Hyun-min, who blurted the end of his words, stared at me with a calm look.

"One for God's sake. Oh, it's just a possibility, so don't be offended. When something like this happens again. Can you guarantee that the mechanical road will be different from what it was today?"

I was carefully lost in thought by the words that followed. In fact, I felt like I was hit on the nail. This is the first time I've been speechless since the talks. That's how well Sung Hyun-min's words were coherent and logical. I guess so. Obviously, the mercenary didn't do well while I was gone.

But it's not like I have nothing to say. In fact, the reason why Ko did not control the machine perfectly is because external factors played a big role. You can hit the counter with this. However, I have to make some resolutions.

I thought so, so I quietly opened my mouth quietly.

"First of all, I admit that the machine was not good. But since I've already mentioned it, I have something to say about it.”

“…….”

"I certainly admit that there has been a shaking inside. But on the other hand, I was told that someone had systematically shaken the machine with a malicious purpose."

"Yes…? Oh."

Sung Hyun-min, who was about to return the visit, suddenly opened his mouth. Something seems to be pointing out. I remembered Sung Hyun-min's expression. Anyway, I just spilled the water.

"In other words, intentionally spreading rumors, encouraging the third round of talks to face unfavorable situations for the fashionista….”

'Wait. What do you mean all of a sudden!'

At that moment, a middle-aged man jumped to his feet and shouted.

"I'm not done talking yet."

"I'm so speechless.So, you're saying we're the driving force behind the malicious rumor?”

"I haven't said that yet.”

"Don't be ridiculous. In this situation, anyone would have heard that the words were aimed at us."

Now even a woman sitting next to a middle-aged man stood up and shouted. I smiled a hearty smile inside. Yeah, my feet would feel numb.

"Who in the world would have such a lookout...!”

"The Shadow Queen told me.”

"Oh, so the Shadow Queen's words are the law? Is what he says absolutely right? No, you don't. Do you have proof?”

“…….”

You're taking turns doing your best in pairs.

I stared at two men and women, each with one hand on his chin. Then I quietly opened my mouth. I was already convinced anyway.

"…are you confident?"

"What, what, yourself?"

"I don't know what you're counting on to say. If you remember Baek Seo-yeon's case, you can't be so confident.”

“…….”

Then the middle-aged man and woman shut up at the same time. Some of the eastern figures also showed signs of stiffness. Maybe everyone remembers. The incident that destroyed the user's spirit, which corresponds to a great executive, who was a vagabond of the martial arts.

"Woo, is there a duty we have to comply with?”

The woman forced her voice up. It was a struggle to escape the charges, but unfortunately it was a handshake. Avoiding means there's something unpleasant about it. The evidence was that the hall, which had been quiet so far, slowly began to get noisy.

"If you're worried about mental pollution, you don't have to worry. You don't have to use potion or power to correct the truth. Of course, the burden is on our side. What do you say?"

The middle-aged man looked around with a bewildering light and suddenly looked back at me and growled.

"…you're gonna come out like this? Hey, Commercial Road."

"Yes."

"You're a good at answering. Are you threatening me, or us?”

"Threatening?"

A light smile flows out of the temple. I smirked and nodded my head to say yes.

"Yes, that's right. You heard it right."

"…Huh?"

The middle-aged man reacted as if he was dumbfounded and laughed at him.

"That means... you're going to try against the East now?”

It was then.

"Are you saying you'd like to try against our West.

A lively voice came out cold next to it. It was your voice. It was a little flyy, but no, so it's scarier. His eyes, which were glaring sharply at the top of his head, were glistening as if they were about to blow a brain failure. The face of a middle-aged man quickly hardened.

"Hae, Hamilton, why all of a sudden....”

"You scare my brother. Then did you think you'd stay still?"

"Oh, no. The Mercenary Lord is the first to threaten....”

"Hahaha! Yeah! Now it's a little fun.”

However, the middle-aged man was speechless again this time. It's because suddenly someone laughed loudly and stopped talking.

"I've been bored since a while ago because you've been babbling like a girl. It's a little fun now. What?"

A huge user raised his body by spinning a window flowing with ominous energy. It was Gong Chan-ho who was aiming at the spear toward the east. He seems to have participated in the event as a northern figure.

"Oh, don't look so weird. The North is an ally of the West. And I owe him something.”

"Uh, uh…."

Gong Chan-ho glanced at me and smiled, showing his teeth. The middle-aged man then groaned as if he was sick, wondering what to do.

It followed the West to the North. Now everyone in the East was looking stunned. I think that's the only way. The West and the North, who have been quiet all this time, suddenly supported me up. However, it is certainly understandable considering that the two regions were enraged by the behavior of the East during the attack on the Steel Mountains.

"I have a chance to pay you back, and I can't miss it. Don't you think so?"

Gong Chan-ho also laughed back, perhaps feeling the eyes of the East. The hall was in uproar in a flash.

At that moment.

Bang

The sound of someone hitting something lightly and all the users on the stage hardened hard. Then, the frosty flesh flows out of somewhere and covers the intestines. Then the uproar that had risen to its full extent began to subside naturally.

Han So-young, who sat at the top, was exuding tremendous vitality from her whole body with her rude eyes. It is not intentional living. The will to be quiet, all from the absolute authority Charisma. Even I got goosebumps all over my body. I was astonished inside.

"When did you get this much...'?’

A little later.

Within a long time, not only the stage but also the hall were dominated by Han So-young. There was only a sound of swallowing as if no one had thought of opening their mouth. Han So-young, who quickly swept the left and right, glances at Gong Chan-ho.

"Calm down, sit down. This is a place to talk, not to fight."

“…….”

"Sit down."

"…Well."

Gong Chan-ho frowned as if he didn't like something very much. In the end, however, he had no choice but to lick his lips and sit down.

"And…."

Subsequently, Han So-young tried to say something to me, but she just shut up. The next place to look was in the direction of the eastern personnel.

"On a separate note, I personally agree with the Clan."

"Yee, Eastantel Low Road!"

Someone shouted in a ridiculous tone, but Han shook her head stubbornly.

"The significance of this third round of talks is to organize and end the current situation. I think we've talked enough already."

"Huh, but!"

"If we come all the way here and either side doesn't agree, we'll have to find another way. Of course, the South will remain neutral.”

"…I give up."

It was then. Han So-young said in a tone that she would not take any further objection, but a young man declared abandonment in a weak voice. Sung Hyun-min was smiling bitterly with one hand raised.

"I'll give up in the east. And I will try to solve the mentioned problem separately from the Commercial Road. I sincerely apologize for the disturbance."

Seeing Sung Hyun-min speaking one more time, I sighed a little. With this opportunity, he tried to lay the groundwork for destroying the East, but did he recognize that the situation was turning unfavorably? Sung Hyun-min quickly declared to give up. It was a bold decision if it was bold.

Soon after, Han So-young looked at me and nodded lightly.

"Okay."

"Now, wait a minute…!”

Right before the word "moor" came out in the east, where the surprised rabbit eyes were open.

"Well, that's the end of the story."

Han So-young's voice rang the stage as if to announce the end of the talks.

The third round of talks is over.

*

Istanbul Low Clan.

a makeshift inn

"Anyway, the man. It's amazing."

Park Da-yeon, who is so good for radish, laughed and talked.

"I can't believe we ended this tedious third round of talks at once.Don't you think so?

“…….”

"And did you see the eastern scoundrels screwing up one by one?”

“…….”

Is it because there are only two in one room? Park Da-yeon's talk was unhesitating. However, Han So-young, sitting in a chair and looking at the records at her desk, kept reading as if she had not heard them. Then Park Da-yeon often ran to Han So-young and hung on.

"Especially when you're cold-hearted. That was really amazing. When I saw Kim Soo-hyun laughing at Dongbu, I thought he was banging on the bottom. Oh, I feel relieved just thinking about it."

This time, Han So-young also frowned at the beautiful ARMY, as if she had no choice.

"Buk?

"Oh, I thought you were dangling with excitement.”

"…That's a bad word."

"Hey, what's wrong with you two?"

Park Da-yeon, who touched Han So-young with her elbow, soon began humming and dancing her shoulders. Han So-young shook her head and focused on the record again.

"Oh, how do you feel?"

Then at some point, Park Da-yeon said jokingly with a face that she thought of something. Han So-young ignored.

"How does it feel to be rejected in front of everyone? Please say something.”

Park Da-yeon held her hand as if she were holding a mic, but Han So-young remained firm. Then I said, "Ho. You're going to come out like this?' Park Da-yeon's face turned expressionless. Like imitating Han So-young.

Soon after, Park Da-yeon, who was walking gracefully in the room, held her hands tightly and opened her mouth in an unfamiliar voice.

"Mercury Road. Can we talk for a second?”

Next, Park Da-yeon had a solemn look on her face.

"I'm sorry, but I have a previous engagement."

This time it was a cold, low voice.

"I don't want you to do that and I want you to take your time.”

"If you tell me where you are, I'll visit you after the appointment."

Back and forth. Park Da-yeon, who poses with her two voices alternately, seemed to be watching a play.

"A-ing~ A-ing~ A-ing~ A-ing~ A-ing~ A-ing~ A-ing It's so cold. Oh, my!

Soon, when Park Da-yeon shook her head and laughed in exaggeration.

"Do it properly."

Eventually, Han So-young, who couldn't stand it, said a word. Park Da-yeon tilted her head, pretending to be surprised.

"Huh? I'm playing alone. Why?"

"I never asked her out in the first place. I didn't even say it in such a cute way.”

"Hehe. Anyway, it's true that you were rejected, right?"

"Park Da-yeon!"

Han So-young screamed loudly. Park Da-yeon shrugged her shoulders like a baby bird and often ran to the window with her steps. And I started looking at the distant mountain. Han So-young sighed deeply and turned to the record.

How long has it been?

"By the way. The guy from earlier...Are you sure it's a mechanical road?"

Park Da-yeon, who was looking outside, suddenly opened her mouth carefully.

"Probably.

Han So-young replied calmly.

"Maybe? Then maybe like last time....”

Park Da-yeon quickly turned her eyes.

"I don't know. That's why I wanted to see you separately."

"What about the super-sensitivity?”

"First of all, the truth. But it happened last time, so I don't think I can trust you.”

"…That's true. I didn't know there would be an impersonation that would even deceive my sister's super-sensitivity."

Park Da-yeon spoke in a serious tone and then turned to the window again. Then he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared out of the window for a while.

After a while, Park Da-yeon continued in a serious tone.

"So you're staying still this time?”

“……?”

"A long time ago, when Mechanical Road first appeared. And when I didn't know it was impersonation."

"Get out."

"Oh, come on. When I saw you on the Commercial Road....”

"Get out, get out, get out, get out!"

Han So-young jumped to her feet. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" Park Da-yeon, who shouted hurriedly, ran to the door quickly. But just before he left the door, he opened his mouth.

"Oh, for your information, I'm on the Medical Road."

Han So-young's body paused for an instant. I was telling her that what she said was true.

"I actually saw it ten minutes ago. Strangely, he didn't come in right away and just sat near the inn. You were eating alone."

"A meal?"

"Yes. Should I go get her?"

"…No. Just stay. They'll come in on their own. And get out."

Han So-young was lost in thought for a moment and shook her head. Then, he calmly sat in a chair and listened to the record as if he was not interested. Park Da-yeon turned her eyes once and shrugged as if she knew it.

Bang

Soon after the door was closed, Han So-young set a record of listening to it at best. Then I woke up and opened the window and looked outside.

As Park Da-yeon said, Kim Soo-hyun was near the inn. He is taking a big bite with a big meat skewer in his hand.

"…Ha."

Han So-young, who laughed in vain at the sight, shut the window hard. Then he turned around and sat at his desk and began to read the records he had set.

But exactly 10 minutes later, Han opened the window again and stared outside. Kim Soo-hyun was still there. But this time, I was slurping on a steaming stew that I got from somewhere else.

“…….”

I wonder if he' Han So-young blew her nose and bit her lower lip. Then I forced myself to sit down and read the crumpled record.

It's been 20 minutes.

Are you still not coming in?’

Eventually, he rose from his seat once again.

But the moment she looked out the window, Han So-young was surprised. This is because Kim Soo-hyun, who was seen until 20 minutes ago, suddenly disappeared. I wondered if he had come in in the meantime, but I couldn't hear a knock even though I waited for 10 minutes in nervousness.

It was that moment.

Han So-young's eyes, who was anxiously looking around, suddenly grew as big as a fire lantern. Kim Soo-hyun, who briefly disappeared from the direction of looking, was walking slowly. With the meat skewers in both hands and a very happy face.

At that moment.

"…really!"

Han So-young felt like something was breaking in her head.

Bang!

Following the rough opening of the door, thumping footsteps followed the hallway.

And

"40 minutes, but you've held out for a while."

Park Da-yeon, who was secretly standing on one side of the hallway, pulled up the corner of her smile.
