Level Up

The streak that came out walked somewhere without hesitation. He seemed to know the geography very well around here.

Of course, there was no supposition. He was stuck in an inn as soon as he got here, so he never came out.

On the contrary, the rest of the group, who spent a day trying to get information, will know much more about the geography nearby.

Nevertheless, I was starting to wonder if I'd ever been here before.

I entered a narrow alley. So the suspicion became more intense. This complex alleyway, which is not the way it is, should not be entered without someone who really knows the way.

Do not think about the well-developed and well-maintained city of the modern Earth. This alleyway was literally a maze.

Hyunseok began to wander around the maze's narrow alley.

At first, the group thought Hyun-seok knew the alleyway well.

He was not so tough to walk. If you don't know the way, you won't be able to walk confidently like that.

But it turned out that it wasn't that long ago.

“Huh? I think I passed here a while ago. ”

Ryu Hye-yeon, the smartest of the group, mutters unknowingly.

Since then, the rest of the party's gaze turns suspicious.

However, he walked confidently without shaking at all. Everyone tilted their heads.

However, that hesitant look of suspicion eventually turned into clear confusion.

If you cross the same path three times, you won't know if you don't want to know.

“Can we talk about this now? Where exactly are we going? ”

Eventually, Ryan stepped up and asked. Everyone's gaze was focused on the stone.

At that moment, Hyundai changed direction, shining his eyes.

“Found it.”

The group gazes at the back of the stone, silent as if it were honey again.

Once again, the group following behind the fence is surprised to see a large clearing in front of them.

It was an incredibly wide and beautiful place to be in the middle of that complex alley.

In fact, it was a better place to say park or garden than a vacant lot.

The ground is full of all kinds of grass and sticks, and there are flat stones along the path.

At the end of the road, there was a pretty big mansion. The wall was not high enough to reveal the inside, but there seemed to be a similar garden open inside the mansion.

“Is this where you were going? It's a really... beautiful house. ”

At Ryu Hye-yeon's words, everyone nodded in unison. I didn't know anything else, but I couldn't deny it was a beautiful house.

“But where is this place? ”

“Where other tribes gather. ”

“Yes? Here? ”

Everyone was staring at the house in a daze. Why are all the other tribes gathered in a house like this?

“And…. ”

Hyun-seok looked around. Surrounding the vacant lot were small houses close to each other. Then you see the alley leading out in the middle.

“Most of the people around here are from different tribes. ”

“Yes? Really? ”

Everyone was surprised and looked around. If there are other tribesmen living in those small houses over there, that number will be really unlikely.

“How the hell do you know that? And why do the rest of the tribes live here? ”

Ryan looks at the stone with a stuffy face and asks.

However, Hyun-seok slowly walked towards the mansion instead of answering.

It's frustrating, but Ryan and his group have no choice but to follow. Hopefully we'll find out when we get in there anyway.

As the squadron arrives in front of the mansion, the door opens slowly by itself.

Hyundai rushed in without hesitation.

Of course, you follow the rest of the group in. There was no hesitation in their steps.

When everyone went in, the door closed by itself.

The fossil walked straight to the inside of the building without stopping.

Then an old man dressed in a very sophisticated outfit came out of the building and opened the door.

He bows politely toward the squadron.

“My master asked me to bring you inside. ”

Hyun-seok nodded once and followed the old man and the steward of the mansion inside.

As soon as the group gets inside, they keep looking around.

In fact, the inside was ordinary. Perhaps if this house were in Croccilia, the group would not be so curious.

In fact, Medina Toon's atmosphere was quite remote from the mansion.

Of course, I had not entered any other mansions, but there was a postponed atmosphere.

The atmosphere was completely different from other houses or inns on the street.

Anyway, the steward takes the group to the reception.

It was a very similar structure to the most common mansion in Crocchia. Even the reception room did.

The group looks around the banquet hall and tilts their heads.

“Isn't this house unusual? ”

“Maybe so? The atmosphere at the inn is totally different from this. ”

“That's right. It's kind of... Oriental here, isn't it? Isn't that right?”

“I don't like to think of it as oriental...... but you don't have a cabin or anything like that, do you? ”

However, it was more or less Oriental.

As I was talking about the mansion for a moment, someone came into the reception room.

Everyone's gaze was pierced into him. Everyone's eyes sparkled.

The one who came in was the woman in the dress. It's also very young and beautiful.

“It's been a long time since I've had a guest in my house. I'm Lyla. Nice to meet you. ”

Lila smiles brightly. It was obvious to me that I was really happy.

The group greets each other. Everyone tried their best not to lose their respect.

And so the time came to say goodbye. Leila's gaze shifts frenzily with the group, but in fact, from the moment she first came in, all of her nerves have remained with her striker.

“Now that you've said a lot of hello, let's get to the point. ”

After venting the atmosphere, Lyla glares around the group.

“Why on earth did you come to see me? ”

Hyun-seok looks directly at Lyla and greets her.

“Why are we gathering other tribesmen? ”

Lila's expression hardens at the question.

“How... did you know that? ”

Hyun-seok smiled.

“It stings. ”

“Te... fly?" ”

The stone nods loudly.

“Perhaps the powerful noble family knows all about this place. ”

“It can't be. ”

Lyla shakes her head. Absolutely not. How carefully I prepared, how thoroughly I took care of it, and I found it.

“You really don't know the atmosphere. ”

“You don't know what? ”

“Unless you were born and raised in Medina toons, you'll be branded the moment you enter the city. ”

Everyone's eyes widened. Flagged? Does that make sense? And if so, why did the string just come in here?

But their surprise is nothing compared to Leila's. Lyla looks at the stone with a wide, frightened look on her face.

“No way! ”

Hyundai nods at Lyla's reaction.

“Not all nobles know that, I see. ”

When he first entered Medina Toon, he could feel the special magic emanating from a giant sphere floating in the middle of the city.

I analyzed it instinctively and retaliated. Of course, the group's body is covered in shaman power.

I was able to determine the role of the spell. It was kind of a stigma.

I could pick it up at any time later and plant a target to exclude or attack it.

That's why I thought the nobles knew all about it. But Lyla didn't even know it.

“You're not very noble, are you? ”

“Huh. What are you talking about? After all, he's a nobleman who goes inside ten fingers in Medina toons. ”

Hyun-Seok was sure of what he said. There aren't many nobles who know about it yet.

‘Maybe no one knows. ’

Anyway, Hyundai used it to find his way here. This was the only place where the stigmatized people would flock except for the inn.

“Why are we gathering other tribesmen, anyway? Are you trying to start a war?"

“Wrong! I'm trying to stop a war! ”

Lyla sighs, then shakes her head.

I can't believe I got caught up in such a novice induction interrogation because I was so excited about the stigma.

She looks straight at the stone with a calm look on her face. Then you stand behind the ledge, gazing at the group in surprise.

“To prevent a war from happening. so that the peace of the forest will not be broken. ”

Hyun-seok turns his head and looks at the group. It was as if the answer was now there.

Ryu Hye-yeon stares at Lyla dazed and nods.

“Someone's been struggling. I'm relieved."

Lyla glared at Ryu Hye-yeon.

“Are you here to help me? What tribe are you from? ”

Hyun-Seok gave the wrong answer at all.

“But there will be war. ”

Lyla stares at the stone because it's sticky.

“I will never let that happen. ”

“How? ”

Lyla shuts up. Honestly, there was no alternative. No, there was one way.

You will be king. Of course, that would be enough. But we should be able to contain the war for a while.

Hyun-seok suddenly asked her, looking at her face.

“To be king? ”

Lyla looks at the stone in horror. Your face turns red. I couldn't even deny it as soon as I felt it in my heart.

Hyun-seok who saw it smiled and said.

“Now that I've checked, no more. ”

Hyun-seok said so and turned away.

Everyone stared at the stone with embarrassed eyes.

“You're just going? ”

Hyun-seok nodded at Ryu Hye-yeon's question.

“The rest... … we'll postpone the next one. ”

Hyun-seok said that and turned around as if he had remembered something after walking a few steps.

You see a group with a silly look on their faces, and Lila.

“You guys stay here for a while. Maybe...... we can use our strength. ”

“Yes? Stay here?" ”

Ryu Ji-hye looked at the stone and Lyla alternately with a confused expression.

Can't you just stay if you want to? Lila, the landlady, has to give her permission.

Lyla nods.

“Okay, everybody stay here for a while. We'll treat you with no discomfort. Anyway...... I'm a long-time guest. ”

Hyun-seok smiles at Lyla.

“Maybe you'll thank me later. ”

“Is it true? ”

Hyun-seok smiled and turned around and left the reception room.

“What are the odds of that? ”

Ryan stares at the door of the banquet hall with a ridiculous look.

“But you're staying in a much better mansion than the inn. Isn't that right?”

Lyon shut up and looked at her as Ryu Hye-yeon smiled. With a sigh, she shakes her head.

At first, everyone was absurd because they wanted to know what was wrong, but they accepted the situation.

If you think about it, Hyundai probably told them to stay here for no reason.

"Maybe there's something we can do?" ’

Earlier, I was so confused and embarrassed that the situation didn't get into my head.

However, after calming my mind, I was able to understand some of the action of the stone.

‘Obviously...... it could be dangerous. ’

Ryu Ji-hye gave a meaningful look at Lyla.

“Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Ryu Ji-hye smiled as she asked.

“Anyway, please take care of it for now. ”

Lyla stares at Ryu Ji-hye, dazed.

“The day will come when you will be thankful. ”

At that point, she thought to herself, They're really weird people.

* * *

The stride out slowly follows the magic flowing underground.

In fact, I was originally going to stay in Lyla's mansion for a while.

But I came out here because I found this flow of magic in it.

It was a very clear flow that I hadn't found so far. The location of the mansion was very subtle.

It would not have been so easy to spot this flow if you hadn't visited here.

As soon as I left the mansion, the flow was very weak.

Anyway, I focused on the faint feeling and walked along the flow.

Suddenly, the stone leaves Medina Toon.

And I stopped walking in front of a big tree.

“Is this it?”

The stone placed its palm on the tree. And I pushed hard.

Pow!

The giant tree is uprooted and collapsed.

Under the uprooted tree, a dark hole bursts into an unknown depth.

Hyundai threw himself into the hole without hesitation.
