Even if he makes a great song.

If there's no one to listen to, it doesn't mean anything.

“In the end, music can exist because there are listeners. ”

“Then I'll make sure more people find you. ”

Nerin says Odyssey has a dark smile.

“But if it does, my faith will inevitably be tested. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“If I become more famous than I am now, the number of assassins will certainly increase. But in that situation, I don't know if I can stay sane or keep chanting the name of Tang Khan. ”

Odyssey bitterly said.

“ · · · ”

Nerin, who knew his situation better than anyone, said nothing.

Maron, who was watching them, interrupts the jealous conversation.

What's there to be afraid of? He's always watching over you. Isn't that why you came all this way without getting hurt?]

“Apostle...”

[Put down all the heavy burdens in your heart. As long as he's watching you, you'll be safe.]

Tang Khan.

It reminds me of that noble and dignified name.

Odyssey felt at ease.

“... okay. ”

He nods.

Maron smiles satisfactorily.

[I wrote a song with a different atmosphere than last time. Are you okay?]

“.. Yes? ”

[Why... didn't you say before that heavy, humid songs were hard to attract the public's interest?]

When asked, Odyssey nods and whispers.

“Yes, to be honest with you, I'm worried about you. But... maybe it'll be okay. Even if this song doesn't see the light, as long as Tang Khan protects me, I will be able to rise again. ”

[Guy...]

“And...”

Odyssey's gaze is on Nerin.

[sighs]

A sly smile hangs over Maron's mouth.

What, are you interested in her?]

“Oh, no, no, it's not like that. Don't get me wrong."

[I understand, I understand. I've been stuck with her for a long time, at the age of boiling blood, and it's natural to feel that way!]

Maron smiled and patted his shoulder.

“I'm not!”

Odyssey shouted.

“What? ”

Nerin, surprised by Odyssey's shout, stares at him with his eyes wide open.

“N-no big deal. I'm just a little tired. I think I saw something. Haha... Rest first. ”

Odyssey's awkward excuse.

“Yes, don't overdo it. ”

Nerin glances at him curiously and retreats.

Creak

She disappears behind the door.

Odyssey looked at Maron.

What? I didn't say anything wrong, did I?]

Maron shrugs without hesitation.

“I never thought of her that way. ”

What did you think?]

“She's... just a warrior that Kenon gave me to protect me. That's it.”

But even Odyssey's answer is that Maron does not smile maliciously.

[Is that really all? That's not how you looked at her.]

“Stop making fun of me. And even if my heart does, Nerin and I can't be together. ”

[Well, that doesn't mean you can't do it because your species is different, right?]

When Maron asks, Odyssey's shoulders sag.

“.. there's no reason for that. ”

So you do have a heart after all?]

“... I'm not going to tell you again. ”

Let's turn around as if Odyssey had fallen into an interrogation.

Maron sighs, clears his laugh and says,

Who cares about the tribe? What if it looked a little different? After all, isn't it your heart that matters?]

“You can't trust your heart. There will be a dish for love that looks like it will burn forever. ”

You don't know that. You can stay active until the end, or you can cool off like you said. After all, the size of the fire depends on your mind, doesn't it?]

Odyssey nods at Maron's interpretation.

“It doesn't matter if I don't change my mind forever... but I'm worried that I might change my mind. ”

In his thoughtful and cautious reply, he looks at him with a thoughtful face.

[You're right. And it's no wonder you're so cautious. It's just not good to be so cautious. And then things happen that you can't decide when you have to decide.]

“So what do you want me to do? ”

[Well... sometimes it's good to do what you want, right? Of course, even if you change your mind and hurt your opponent in the meantime, some things can only be learned through failure.]

“ · · · ”

Odyssey couldn't say anything.

[Oh my... I'm so frustrated, really!]

He taps his chest as if he were stuffy.

[Just do what you want! What are you so afraid of, young man?!]

“.. my father hardly ever stayed home. I understand now, of course. You must have been busy trying to keep the nobles alive. But... if my love for my mother had been the same as before, I wonder if I would have found her more. ”

[sighs]

Perhaps if Odyssey hesitated,

The childhood memories seemed to bind his feet like chains.

[I don't know what you're saying because I don't know your family history, but I don't know that. It's not all you can see.]

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

[Your parents might have whispered love out of your sight, right?]

Marron's words also made sense.

Odyssey was lost in thought.

Maron says to Odyssey,

[No need to think about your mother's face. Is he smiling?]

“ · · · ”

Odyssey takes his lips off after hearing Maron's question.

“You're smiling. like a blooming flower.”

Maron smiling at him.

[Look. If you two didn't get along, would you always be able to smile?]

“Yeah. ”

[That's not all I see. You have to look behind it. Anyway! I said everything I had to say. It's your call.]

Maron points to the door where Nerin went out with his eyes.

[Just for the record, if you keep going, when is the next baton gonna catch her? Decide well.]

Let's just say that, and then he'll disappear into the wall.

The rest of Odyssey is deeply troubled.

"Do what I want sometimes?" As you wish... "

But if you do what you want and it doesn't work out,

Your relationship with her will be completely awkward, won't it?

‘Ugh... It's horrible just thinking about it. But if someone approaches her as the Apostle says...

Imagine her next to another man.

I feel annoyed for no reason.

‘Sometimes whatever you want... yes. Let's write a song. What if we fail? No, we can't fail. Let's have a more intimate relationship. How do I get closer to Nerin? Ah! ’

Has he come up with an ingenious idea?

Odyssey's eyes sparkle.

‘Let's teach him the instrument. That way we can be closer, and we can be closer. ’

To the end.

“Nerin! Don't you want to learn about Roland?! ”

Odyssey hurriedly left the room and called her name.

[You're young, you're young.]

When Aaron stepped outside the neck wall and smiled at Odyssey's back.

Zec

He realized that his vision had returned to its original place.

He's lost in thought.

‘Hmmm... Assassins... Did I get it in return for being famous? After Odyssey finished the concert successfully on the King's Birthday, I think some of the Elves who considered it most irrelevant. ’

You know, Odyssey, the Demibeast and Lord of Tang Khan.

You wanted to kill him somehow.

‘But Kenon seems to be holding back. ’

including the safe house where Odyssey can hide.

I put him next to the guard guard.

Fortunately, they didn't seem to have found out where the safe house was.

There's been repeated assassination attempts.

The face of Odyssey was much more overwhelming than before.

‘Even if Odyssey learns spirits and natural powers from Maron, he must be exhausted if he continues his assassination attempt. ’

If the last maid who followed the car suddenly attacks with a knife.

If the gardener throws out pruning scissors.

‘Stay sane, we don't know when or where they'll attack. ’

So Odyssey couldn't handle it.

You chose to take refuge in peace.

‘But we must overcome, Odyssey. Trials come from everyone, but only those who have passed them can enter the path of true heroes. ’

Heroes have always been born through trials and hardships.

‘No... maybe we've already been through this. ’

Even in such trials, Odyssey did not stop writing.

‘Abyssal. It was always dark, but at the end of the day there was hope. He made that song based on the trials. ’

Odyssey makes notes out of all his experiences.

His mind will not be swayed by other warriors.

‘Though now you walk the path of trials, the light will shine brighter than ever upon your head, and the songs you write will spread to my world. I promise, Odyssey. ’

When Joon recited it in his heart.

Reclaims the Warrior Odyssey's Quarterly achievement.

The warrior Odyssey composed Tang Khan's second hymn, The Maw.

Outside Achievements: The warrior Odyssey successfully completed "The Unity" on the king's birthday.

Using the instrument crafting technique that the warrior Odyssey brought to us, we begin to make instruments.

Mentor Maron has blocked multiple assassination plots in Odyssey with constant surveillance.

You won the "Abyssal" score as a reward.

A series of messages appeared before him.

Tuk

Several sheets of clean parchment are scattered at the feet of the target.

"Oh... Is this the song Odyssey wrote for me?" ’

Help me take care of the scores with a happy smile.

Music Note: Abyssal

Description: It was composed by Odyssey, a veteran musician. I feel a gloomy atmosphere somewhere.

Ability: If you listen to this song, you will most likely fall into a 'frustrated’ state.

Restrictions: Only a Spirit can bring out the essence of this musical note.

"Disappointed... Does it mean everyone gets exhausted listening to this song?" We'll have to test this later. But if only a Spirit could use it... Do I have to learn an instrument? ’

He tilted his head.

Take the sheet of music to the subspace well.

*

The next day.

In one meeting.

“Did you hear? They say the miraculous is dead. ”

“A miraculous sign? Who is it? ”

“Why... you know! Said one of us was a spy at a bomber party. ”

“Really? ”

The crowds were already gathering and exchanging information amongst themselves.

“Quiet, everyone. ”

Director Kim, who just joined the chairman, silenced the crowd.

‘Hmm... Clearly more steep than before. ’

JooJoon looks around and thinks.

‘Almost half of them seem to be out. ’

Unlike at the first meeting.

The number of people in the chairman has decreased considerably.

‘It's probably the result of Director Kim's actions. ’

To cooperate with the government under suspicion of being a spa at a bomber party.

Their relationship was not cohesive.

"Why the sudden urgent call?"

When Joon stared at Director Kim.

Director Kim opens his mouth slowly.

“I want to thank all the Awakeners for coming to me even though they called me out of the blue. ”

“Well, let's not drag it too long, just get to the point! ”

When one Awakened complained.

Kim looks over his glasses and turns his head again.

“Just to cut a long story short, I got a call from China this morning. that if we don't get the Myster back in a month, then we won't be able to take responsibility. ”

“A month? Ha... What the hell are they doing? Are they on a timeout? ”

A clan leader asked me sarcastically.

Director Kim continues the conversation with a cool expression.

“Correct me for not taking responsibility. They've declared war if they don't send a Myster within a month. ”

Director Kim finished speaking.

“ · · · ”

For a moment, there was a strange static and tension in the president.
