00356 Barbara

"Dot watch"? ’

For a moment, I was intrigued by the young proposition of goodwill. But when I think about it, I don't think I'm particularly curious.

I tilted my head for a while, then slowly shaken my head.

“I don't know. I don't really have any questions... It's okay.”

“Oh, you're saying no? ”

“Rather than rejecting... I don't really have any questions. Anyway, thank you for your kindness. ”

“Come on, take a look. There might not be a next time. Well, I don't talk to guys about this stuff. ”

Am I mistaken that I felt a slight thorn in the voice of the tune?

No, it's not a mistake. The chorus was making a blunt look at me that I didn't think I would refuse. The attitude that had just become profound seemed to be gradually fading, and his pride seemed to have faded.

“That's what you're saying.... I think it would be rude to refuse again. All right, let's take a look. ”

“Yes, that's good thinking. Just think of it as a little bit of fun. It won't take that long.... ”

When I saw that I was recovering my original expression, I thought I was good at changing my words.

“Huhu. It's been a long time since I've seen a man... ”

Soon after, Choi Hyuk sighed and muttered to himself, and began to shuffle the cards with a solemn face.

Tak, Tak, Tak, Tak.

Tak, Tak, Tak, Tak.

Shuffle cards with fairly regular sound. As I said before, think of it as a trivial fun, there is little caution in shuffling cards.

While watching the process of preparing the points, I suddenly felt a question.

“Tower Road. Then why don't you look after the man? ”

“Oh, that? ”

I was quite focused, so I thought I could talk to him, but the answer was fortunate. She looked fine and said it was me.

“I've seen it before with no distinction between men and women. But after one bad case, I've been reluctant to look at men. ”

“A bad case? ”

“Yes, it was during the annual period before I had my secret class. When I had no money, I used to work as a side business to play a point with a roughly made card... I still remember. As soon as he saw me. I heard you're really good at lactating. He said.... ”

Milk or fortune teller? '

It's a fortune teller. I can't help but get the feeling I'm strangely confused somewhere.

Tak, Tak, Tak, Tak!

And at that moment, I felt the sound of the chords shuffling more heavily. His eyes slightly lifted up and he seemed to boil as he recalled that moment.

Over time, the card shuffling regained its original rhythm. At the same time, the lips of the tune were ripped off.

“Suddenly, he took off his pants and pulled out his penis. ”

“? ”

A sudden burst of words made me wonder and raised my head. I thought I heard it was milk, not dots. But her face was still calm and focused on shuffling cards. I can't find any jokes around here.

Are you serious? '

When there was a slight confusion in his head, the story of the tune followed.

“It turns out it wasn't a fortune teller, it was about breastfeeding. Don't you know how to suckle? In professional terms.... We said breast-feeding. In Japanese, Paisley. ”

“Mee, you're crazy. So what did you do? ”

“How do you do that? What power does that annual user have? I just did what I was told. ”

“… Yes? ”

How can you be so bold about this? I stared at the tune, feeling dazed. She pauses at a dazzling gesture as she shuffles all the cards.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

A moment of silence passed.

In the meantime, stay on the table! The tune that lowered the card enough to make a sound opened its mouth boldly.

“I'm joking, I'm joking. So don't look so serious. I just cut it off.”

“Well…. ”

Glug-ug-ug-ug! Tongue!

Before I say anything, the arm of the tune on the card draws a large semicircle. Soon after, she took out a small hourglass of sand next to a card spread out in a sliver and opened her mouth in a calm, polite tone.

“Hooray. Let's get started, shall we? You said you didn't have any questions, so I'll take my chances. ”

“Load the magical tower. ”

“Oh, don't mind this watch. It's just a point tool. ”

“ ……. ”

'She is truly an uncontrollable woman.'

Suddenly, a tired sigh flows through my lips because I was relaxed all at once. I stared at the music in a ridiculous mood. Maybe I was mistaken, but I felt like she had a little smile on her mouth.

“Then I'll explain how to do it from now on. It's very simple."

“Yes, yes. Suit yourself."

Suddenly, I thought that the silent tune was very hateful for some reason. So the voice of the answer was full of stubbornness even when I heard it.

“Cook. You see these cards up here? You can pick them out one by one. ”

“… Is that the end? ”

“Yes. Almost all of them end in chapters 12, but there are rare cases. But you must protect three things from now on. One at a time. And when I tell you to stop, you have to stop pulling. Lastly, please place the cards in the order from the left. ”

“Oh. Yes... ”

The moment I heard that, it got a little steamy. Of course, I heard it was for fun in the beginning, and it didn't mean much to me either. I guess there was something unexpected about that subject.

So I relaxed my mind and moved my hands to a visible card. And as I was about to pick up a piece, a thought suddenly passed over my head.

“But what is this about? ”

“Just think of it as a whole. ”

The election answered clearly.

I tilted my head for a moment, but I picked up a piece lightly, endlessly repeating the word "fun." And as I looked at her, I could see that her gaze was directed towards the Sand Glass.

Soon, Choi Hyuk nodded his head.

“I'm going to check after I've picked all the cards. You can leave the drawn card upside down from the left. Keep picking.”

The conviction of the tune gives me a nod. Then I quickly started picking cards one by one.

Chapter 1. Chapter 2. Chapter 3. Chapter 4. Chapter 5. Chapter 6.

I quickly picked a card, and then I was about to pick the 13th card over the 12th card. Suddenly, I felt a strange look in front of me. As we pause the draw and raise our heads, we continue to see the turn of the card and the hourglass from earlier.

There is one difference from before, that the eyes of the current tune show a subtle bewildering light.

Suddenly, I turned my head, and I could see the hourglass, which was much smaller than before. Compared to the beginning, it's about a quarter down.

I started moving my hands again. And by the time I got to chapter 15 of the cards from the left, I could hear the tune stopping me.

“Stop it, stop it, stop it! ”

The voice of the tune now contained a clear tremor that could be understood at any moment. The powder that was filled in the hourglass is now fully lowered.

The tune was to catch my mind, catch my breath for a while, and then speak in a tone that was slightly trembling.

“Hey, 15 chapters. I've never seen anything like it. Anyway... I'm really curious. Can you open up four pages to the left, please? ”

I thought you said it usually ends in chapter 12? After I said there were exceptions, I turned from left to left.

And then there's a big pool of blood on the table and a man groaning in it. A watch that went backwards. A clear flame that burns black. Then, one man standing alone in the landscape painting with a sword in his chest was spread out in sequence.

One peculiar thing was that on the underside of the four cards there was a small-scale text.

He looked at the cards one by one with a very focused face and opened his mouth with a murmur.

“Hmm. It's hard. But I'm going to do it quietly one by one. A pool of blood. You were born with a very harsh destiny. A watch that went backwards. But there is an unknown entity involved in that fate. A clear spark.It's this card... Born and raised? I don't know exactly what that means. The last man in the world with a sword in his chest. The first card has been replaced by the second and third cards. ”

“What does the last card mean? ”

In my question, the choir sighed a little.

“If I interpret it in relation to the previous three chapters... Your total of two factors intervened, and as a result, your fate completely changed. A clear flame here means birth or the world, and you are loved by the world. ”

“Favorite?”

“Yes, but be careful. It's not unconditional favoritism. You see the sword in the man's chest? I think it means double-edged swords. So if I'm wrong... ”

As the melody blurred the end of the sentence, I suddenly felt my heart cooled. I blinked for a moment and slashed my throat once or twice.

“Hmm. Interesting. So, should we flip the next four chapters? ”

“Yes.”

I wanted to quickly move on to the previous chapter 4, so I quickly turned over 4 cards. And the cards that were opened this time were very complicated. because each card had several very complicated drawings on it.

I first turned my eyes to the first card.

The first card was a square card with a beautiful woman drawn on each box. And around women are the backgrounds that represent the atmosphere.

'Blood and steel. A beautiful but wounded sword. Shadow. And.... What's the last one? Light?'

Among them, the woman on the bottom right was unique. Looking at the background, there was a sacred atmosphere, but unlike other women, I was only shed tears by myself. So, even though the light was the background, it was not a bright feeling, but rather a picture that created a depressing atmosphere.

The second card that followed was unrecognizable. It was hard to recognize because the painting itself was small, because there were countless drawings of humans, animals, swords, flying dragons, etc.

The third card was relatively small, but more subtle.

There was a baby in the middle of the card, with a clear spark and a raging flame wrapped around it. Both felt familiar for some reason, but when I saw the spark, I felt bad for some reason.

And fortunately,), the last fourth card was very simple compared to the previous cards. There was only one man who was wearing a crown compared to other complex cards.

I looked at the tune reflectively. I was curious about the interpretation.

However, the moment I saw the face of Seongju, the mouth I was trying to ask was silent. It was because her expression on the card was overwhelming.

Unlike he has always been calm and relaxed, his eyes are now wide open. Emotions such as embarrassment, confusion, and confusion were flowing through the mouth. No, it felt like that.

After a long time, the sound begins to groan.

“Oh, Mercenary Road. ”

“Yes.”

“Hey, why is it so complicated between women? What, what are you doing? What the hell is this?”

“Yes?”

And I said, “Why are you asking me that?” I wanted to say, but I endured it. Because the tune still began to mutter to himself with a confused face.

“No... Yes, he is a king.Even if four queens do... Oh, three? One of them pushed himself. Poor thing... ”

“ ……. ”

“Wizard. Archer. Priests, witches, etc. Yes. I've conceded it a hundred times, so I understand... He's a Human.But... Cat? Spider or dragon? Are you an apprentice? I don't know... How do you love a Sword Human...? ”

“ ……. ”

“The third is…. One is the spark of purification. One is the flame of destruction. It's natural that purification and destruction are top attributes. Then why did a new life suddenly appear.... ”

I could feel the spirit of the tune slowly collapsing so painfully that I heard it.

Suddenly, I felt sad, and I ended up shaking my hands.

“Tower Road. Let's stop."

“Oh, Mercenary Road. ”

“You can stop if you're having a hard time. It's interpretation anyway. It's fun. ”

“ ……. ”

You have a light of conflicting music, but soon you nod slowly. However, I was embarrassed to see a flush on my face.

“I'm so sorry. My card is a kind of magic card, so it depends on the situation, but I've never seen a card like this before…. It doesn't make any sense. Well, then, the other four, or even seven... ”

“Just calm down. What do the rest of the cards mean? ”

When he struck his hand again, Choi Hyuk let out a light breath to see if he had realized his inference.

“Hooray, hooray. So the rest... The next four chapters are what the Machinery Road wants. So it's kind of the future. And the other three... I can see it as a divergent point or as an additional interpretation, but I don't think I'll know until I open it. ”

“I see…. That's fine.”

“Yes?”

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've decided to take a stand. If it was something else, I would have listened to it, but if it was about the future, the story would have changed.

Honestly, I'm curious. But there was one oath I swore when I learned that the future had changed. Nevertheless, if I looked at this card now, I could only shake my heart once more.

“At first, it was my destiny. The second is my love fortune. So far, so good. But I don't think it's a good idea to look into the future. ”

“ ……. ”

“Rather than being influenced by the way forward, why don't you just keep pushing forward as you originally thought. ”

“That's it... Right, because the future is self-pioneering. It's a little different from what you want, of course. Okay. If that's what Mercenary Road means, then I'm done here. ”

There was still a bit of a bewildering light, but luckily, goodwill agreed with my opinion.

I nodded three or four times and jumped to my feet.

“I'll be going, then. It was a pleasant time. Load the tower.”

“Hooray. I'm just sorry. I looked so confident... I'm ashamed."

“I understand your Pride. But I'm really okay, so I don't want you to worry too much. I'll be going, then. ”

I lowered my head slightly, staring down at the seven cards that had not yet been opened.

'…….'

“Of course.”

However, as soon as I got rid of the feeling, I immediately turned around and walked out.

*

The next day. I went through a lot last night, but I always had the same morning. After completing a routine simple maintenance, he finally joined the last march toward Barbara in the east.

We've already been through some rough spots. No more abandoned fields, no more wild forests. Well-picked roads and tidy meadows spread widely around the users.

I kept track of the march, except for one more visit to the third legion on my way.

When I visited the third legion in the morning, I could see that Shin Yong had returned. But he didn't look so good to talk to, and even the march was walking a long way on its own.

Nevertheless, I turned around because it seemed like Shin Yong knew I was coming. In fact, I even met my eyes once. However, it was a complicated shape in my head, judging by the way I looked at my lower back and avoiding my gaze.

So, I decided to wait a little longer so that I could organize my thoughts rather than talk forcefully. I wanted to believe the last will that Shin Yong saw before participating.

After I returned to my seat, the march continued.

I looked up at the sky, and suddenly the sun was slowly setting. The sunset was radiating dusk and watering the meadow in deep red, and we crossed the red light along the path between the grasslands.

After a moment, you can see that the road leads to a region near Barbara.

If this was originally the time, it would be normal for users who were on an expedition or hunting to return to the city smiling, or crying at each other. But little by little, the path through which the dark earth spiders began to spread, only the endless cold and serene conventions were swirling.

As time went on and on, the dusk light that had washed the world red gradually disappeared.

“Barbara's five minutes out! Prepare yourselves!”

On the plain in front of you, the shadow of the great city slowly begins to catch you.

It's very difficult. Originally, I was going to focus on the other seven chapters. But I cut it on purpose because I didn't think I'd make it to Barbara. Hahahaha.I 'm going to reveal it next time I think about it. Of course, there will be no Kim Soo-hyun then.

And if you have any questions about this, please write to me. We'll answer them as honestly as we can.

That's a lot of notes. I don't have time to check in on weekdays, and I'll drive you on weekends to get back to you. By this time tomorrow afternoon, there will be a reply to every single message.:)
