King of Shadows

In his doubts, he opened his mouth with a confident expression as he sat on his knee.

"Hey, you know what? It's an official holiday. Let's just say it's backdoor day. Bererosa told you, the convention used to be a gathering of all the important people in Zephyros. Cleaning up is no joke."

"That's right, we're giving time to our users, just like Deeroe said. Even if you start organizing from the closing ceremony, you won't have enough for one day. And of course, because of the smaller scale, it's a big rebuttal to reduce holidays even if you can reduce events and days that don't matter."

"It breaks my heart to think there are fewer scheduled holidays."

From Bererosa and Deeroe, she got a sense of ambiguity when she heard the overall overview of the meeting. And it was clear that tomorrow was an important subject.

"Starting tomorrow, the role of Se-hyun becomes important."

The day the opening ceremony is held tomorrow and the conference is held at the same time. Seeing what Bererosa was saying, he nodded gracefully.

"I know, that's why I'm here."

He knew exactly what to do. I came here to turn over the agenda to be addressed in the conference.

However, unlike calm demonstrations, Bererosa seemed anxious.

"... but we may have to find out who he is because of this. No, if we're going to silence the complaints of the other pioneers, we have to. Are you ready for this?"

Asking Sihyun, Bererosa felt that she was selfish. He knew that the name "King of Shadows" was given to him in order to live a normal life.

I thought I'd take it for granted, but first I asked him if he wanted answers. Bererosa felt disgusted by her instinctive movements for peace of mind.

"Come to think of it, yes. But it doesn't matter. I can take as much of you as it takes just to reveal your real name."

Sihyun didn't think the crude secrets he created lasted long. The eyes of the world are gathering. The fact that the King of Shadows was Han Shi-hyun was soon to be revealed.

If the secret had to be revealed, it was the most efficient use of food. That's why he expressed his opinions without hesitation.

"... Se-hyun sometimes surprises me."

Bererosa, who lowers her head, mutters with a grumpy expression. As soon as she noticed her change, she clapped her hands, smiling brightly.

"Heh heh, Bererosa's face turned red!"

"That's not true, Dero."

Bererosa, who covers her cheeks unnaturally, glances at you.

After finishing the conversation, Sihyun came out. He looked around and lightly moved his feet. There was no destination. I was curious about how things were going in the castle, so I just moved to a place where I liked to go. Through a corridor that had never been there, Sihyun arrived at a rare place.

A place filled with flowers that exude their own fragrance and color. Xi Hyun who arrived there was caught off guard by flowers with an unimaginable shape. It was different from the flowers on Earth. Among the flowers on the flower bed, there was even light on its own.

"It's a good place."

At the sound of his voice, he turned his head. There, an old gentleman in a fur suit was wearing a black umbrella. Despite a rainy day, the old man covers himself with his umbrella like he wants to avoid something.

"The flowers you can't see here - on Earth -"

Unlike a well-dressed bird, the old man's eyes were sharp and unfamiliar. The fangs protruding outward once every smile, as well as the skin that was white enough to show a clear line of blood, indicate his dangers exclusively.

"Who are you?"

In Shi Hyun's question, the old man simply revealed his identity.

"'Ellard Judicia.' He's one of The Purity's co-representatives."

The memory of The Purity was immediately lowered. It is thought that it is one of the largest influential organizations on the continent of Hailer.

"Hi, I'm Han Si-hyun."

Sihyun was invited here by Bererosa and did not reveal his identity. I didn't want to cause a dispute. But Ellard releases the truth without hesitation.

"You're the King of Shadows, right?"

His expression hardened in a flash. He had never officially revealed that he was the King of Shadows. For a moment, he remembered Kuntaran. A pioneer disguised as Kuntaran guessed the identity of Xi Hyun.

But in the dungeon, he couldn't have told Ellard the truth. No, even if they had some sort of relationship, they wouldn't say what they wanted. All we have to do is identify him as an accomplice.

"..."

"There's no need to be so vigilant. Anyone can guess that you're the King of Shadows. You were invited by Queen Bererosa. Plus, you're the first pioneer I've ever seen in Zephyros. It's not" King of the Shadows, "but who could escape my insight by gaining Queen Bererosa's favor? Don't you think?"

"That's right. Only Mr. Ellard knows that."

He did not deny it. It was a fact that it was going to be revealed. Furthermore, Sihyun treated him politely because he had nothing good to do with Ellard, the co-representative of Purity.

"You've come for Queen Bererosa, too, haven't you?"

Ellard seems to have already made up his mind. Sihyun remained silent because he was not wrong. It's because I was strongly encouraged that Ellard wanted to say something.

"But I hear you don't have a good body..."

According to Ellard, Shi Hyun tilts his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you come out of the room of a woman - a girl - who had a great spear this morning? You're already a whore. Are you saying you want to be a candidate for Queen Bererosa's companion?"

He smiles at Ellard face to face. Even so carefully, a witness came forward. However, his eyes sank because he didn't think he would approach it this way.

A frosty voice pours from his mouth, realizing he doesn't need respect.

"Funny. Threatened by a stranger today."

"You should have been careful. The night is my bedtime. I can't help but notice you moving around without thinking about it."

Ellard smiles joyfully. One of the leading candidates fell on his own. He was cheering for his grandson. It was unpleasant to mix pure bloodlines with other bloodlines, but I was able to bear the blood of the Tantium. The blood of the Tantium family was worth it.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Abandon your seat. If you do that, I promise I'll protect your reputation."

"Too bad."

"What's the pity?"

"I'll forget soon enough."

"Bullshit..."

[Forget it all.]

Sihyun spits out [please] toward Ellard. With his absolute command, one of Ellard's memories' burned '. When Ellard regained his senses, shaking his head.

"Hmm?"

Ellard tilts his head in a strange way. It felt like I'd forgotten something. But he couldn't remember.

As Ellard stands still, Sihyun smiles brightly and looks at him.

"May I help you? Mr. Ellard."

"It's nothing."

"Wasn't there something you wanted to tell me?"

"... It was useless. Never mind."

That way, Ellard turns away from Sihyun, saying only what he wants to say. Sihyun glanced coldly at the farther Ellard. I couldn't let go of the idea that the worms were starting to twist.

"I only see you once."

- 209.

That night, Shi Hyun entered the world of dreams again with the great Chang Oh. The fact that they could hear the truth about the deliverer meant so much to Sihyun and Chang Oh, that they went to bed earlier than usual.

Pommen welcomed them as soon as Shi Hyun and Chang Oh came, whether they were earlier than expected.

"You're here now. I almost got tired of waiting."

"Still not enough hawks?"

As Zhang Ogre lifted his fist, Pommen kept his mouth shut. You quietly climb up to Shanta and shake your hand. Sihyun and Chang Awesome climbed over Shantaq and headed towards' Oriv ', the largest of the southern islands.

Soon after, Sihyun and Chang Ogre were able to see the reality of Oriov. The island where Pommen's owner and invited him lived was in the middle of a stormy sea.

It was not clear whether the island itself was causing the storm or just the location of the island, but it felt strongly that Oriov was unacceptable to foreign approach.

"Hold on tight!"

Pommen grabs his belt, rides his skilled hand through the air flow and squeezes through the gap in the storm. Shantaq also shoved his wings into the wind like a knife to see if he was used to escaping the storm.

Sihyun and Chang Oyeong grabbed the thick scales of shantak tightly in their hands. Shanta shakes violently, without covering his back and forth. The storm moves around to catch the shantak. With a strong storm and raindrops, even Pommen, who wouldn't give up his allies, Xihyun and Zhang Oh looked bored.

"Phew, that was another fun game today."

Soon after, Shantak lands on the outskirts of Oriv. Xihyun and Chang Awesome tried to see the surrounding landscape, but Pommen did not allow such behavior. What was so busy was the demonstration and the great arm of the spear.

"Come with me. My master wants to see me as soon as possible."

Pommen said that Xi Hyun and Zhang Oh were forced to follow him.

Jihyun and Zhang Oyang, who had entered a naturally formed cave along the Formman's back, had lost their words to the enormous landscape that was so open in their vision. It contained ten minutes of aesthetic, even though it was not artificially made.

Moreover, the cave was emitting a bright light that was unfit to be a closed place. It was a light so calm that it calmed the mind of the viewer. Not to mention the stone staircase, which is giving off a subtle glow.

"The master is down there."

Sihyun and Spear Ogre stepped on the stone stairs and went down. How long has it been? Realizing that there were no more stone steps to tread on, Jihyun and Chang looked straight ahead.

In the depths of the cave there was a man. The fast paced Formman knelt in front of the young man and tightened his head.

"My lord, at your command, I have brought you a guest."

"Well done, Pommen. Now get out there."

Despite knowing that it was not a word directed at them, Xi Hyun and Spear Awesome seemed to bend their knees. Pommen left his seat and In-young appeared in the shadows, and Sihyun and Chang Awesome were breathless. No, I wanted to breathe, but I couldn't.

Recommendation for National Power

Commendo National Power

1. I've been told that as more people become more organized, sociality falls into Japanese cartoons. What about you? Do you feel any kind of camouflage?

2. Of course, there is nothing that can be fixed because it is somewhat true. Even if you accept it as best you can, those tendencies and methods of deployment are the hallmarks of writing and the realm of taste. What I want to ask you is a fatal error. Sometimes when you're too close, you can't see it.

3. The first letter of the watchman's code name and first name match, as a convenience, for readability.
