00443 Hatred, and conflict.

If you define the area of the dragon sleeping mountain range, you can summarize it in one word.

Clown Stool.

It was so generous and so big that I couldn't see the end, and I couldn't clean all the areas in the first place.

However, if we set the destination of the ruins rather than the end of the mountain range, we can estimate how far we are now. Anyway, the whole point of attacking is the ruins.

Anyway, if you think about it, now that we're two days and three days away from rescuing the colony, we've been able to see that about a third of it has passed. In other words, the first gate, the entrance, and the second gate, the land of wandering, have been safely passed through.

And when you reach the fork in the road, which is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, you will enter the third gate.

The third gate of the dragon sleeping mountain range is unusually divided into two regions. In other words, the fork in the road acts as a branch point.

If you go to the right, you get an area called the 'Land of Hatred', and if you go to the left....

“Now I know a little bit. ”

When I thought about it quietly, a clear and loud voice that was unique to Vivian woke me up. As I look up, I see three women surrounding a small blazing campfire.

Kim Hanbyol, Cha Sorim, Vivian. These three were standing with me. That means the other nine clans are in the sleeping bag.

There was a reason to rest now. Once the rescue was successful, we can't be sure of An-hyun's rescue.

In addition, the clans have been strangely exhausted by violence and combat. Despite the remaining journeys, I now needed to recover at least a little health.

“Soo-hyun Kim. I think I know a little now. Huh?”

Vivian talks again. The voice contained a cry for help, or for self-reflection.

'I think I'm getting the wrong tree branch.'

I smiled a little. It was so quiet that you didn't have a bad feeling because of Chasoim and Kim Han-suh, but fortunately Vivian opened the door.

As part of my efforts not to give out my favourite tea, I opened my mouth quietly by poking at the campfire.

“What.”

“Why the indiscretion wandered the place. So furthermore, I think I know what this mountain range looks like. ”

Vivian's voice resonates, "Don't do it.” There was a desire to say. It was because I felt like I could see Vivian burying her head between her knees and being depressed for a really long time. Well, to be honest, it's more likely that I already know the stories.

However, I immediately corrected my thoughts as I saw Kim Han-sung shining brightly in his eyes. It wouldn't be a bad story to hear once, and it wasn't a free play.

I stopped poking at the campfire and calmly stared at Vivian.

“Good…. Tell me.”

“What. That fertilizer look. Nope."

“What?"

“Oh, no! That's not it! Th... Yeah, you said it was a field effect once, right? That's why I thought differently based on it! ”

I felt like I heard something very profane, but I decided to give it up quickly.

When he nodded his head, he said with a relieved face.

“Hmmm. I mean... I mean, deserted people are supposed to be dead, right? ”

“That's right."

“Yes. And from that point of view, a lifeless human stops everything. No heart, no body movement, no accident. But ever since I got into the mountains, I haven't seen a dead man for some reason. You know, sometimes, it sounds like a living human being, chanting spells, fighting styles. Then here's the problem. We are definitely lifeless Humans.How can the deserters who appear here behave like humans? ”

“Rarity, determination, hahn, curses, etc... Well, the same thing happened in the frozen forest, so there must be a number of factors that make what you said possible. ”

I quietly replied and looked at Vivian. Meaning that, Vivian nodded her head loudly and said excitedly.

“Good, good. Then let's go back to the field effect. Think about it. Why on earth did this field effect happen? ”

“… if it happens, there are two conditions. Someone artificially generated it, or some condition fits and occurs naturally. ”

“Yes. Among them, I focused on natural occurrence. Because after compiling all the stories you've told me, there's one hypothesis. ”

“Hypothesis?”

Vivian taps her nose to clear her head for a moment, then straightens out her base with a bit of tiredness.

“Oh, yeah. In the last part of the myth, the dragon Magnakarta of the Apocalypse cursed the humans. And the spirituality, the determination, the hahn, all that stuff you were talking about? ”

“Such things... By spontaneous occurrence, do you mean that Magna Carta's curse and human soul, concentration, etc. were mixed together to produce a single field effect? ”

“That's it! But, but... Soo-hyun Kim, why did the Humans get together in this place? Is it because the dragon is cursed? ”

“ ……. ”

I've been waiting for Vivian to say something. Suddenly, Gimhan Stars and Cha Sorim were also focusing on Vivian.

Vivian looks up at the three of us and smiles deeply.

“No. I've been at war for decades trying to regain control, and I think I've come to my senses as I enter the final mountain range. But when the battle is almost over, the dragon curses you? I don't think so. Of course, there must be some kind of connection.... There must be a slightly different, more direct reason for human hatred. There was, for example, a very important incident here that had not been passed down in history. ”

Vivian finished a long story. At the end, he did not breathe and spoke quickly, so his breath was slightly rough. And I stared at it with all my heart.

“What do you think? My story? ”

'That's almost right.'

In the first car, users spilled several hypotheses about the dragon sleeping mountain range. The most popular hypothesis is that there is an event that we do not know about. 'Vivian's words were almost consistent with the hypothesis.

Of course, it's just a hypothesis. That means it may or may not be true. The answer will lie dormant in the ruins, but ultimately the truth will be buried forever by sealing it in Istantell Row.

Anyway, I thought it made sense, but for some reason I didn't want to admit it quietly. There is no particular reason. Just Vivian says, "Ahem.” I don't want to see you do it.

Eventually, I just shrugged my shoulders instead.

Vivian tasted for a moment that she didn't like the reaction. Then, he turned his head quietly and looked at Kim Han-star, who was warming his campfire.

“Gems. What about you? ”

“Shush... Shut up. Why am I a jewel? I told you not to call me that. ”

Kim Hanbyol raised his eyebrows as much as he could, but then when he saw me once, he slumped. Probably a cautious guess, "Shut up.” wasn't he going to say?

“Whatever. A wizard who uses gems. A gem. ”

“Don't do it. If I don't want to hear it, why do you keep doing it? If you keep doing that, I'm going to call it an annuity. ”

Kim Hanbyol fiercely disagreed. Vivian grunts, her lips sticking out. This time, she turns her head to Chaxorim.

“How about a brothel? Did you hear me? ”

“… Vivian La Classidus. It's not good to talk too much at the same time. Please be careful. ”

A window. Is it a window?

Anyway, his voice is still, but his hands are gently stroking the arcus valkyrie spear. I think it's a pretty interesting name, but at least the person who is called is not. The last words were, "Please, be careful.” The tone of the voice was sufficiently liveable, even for me, to feel genuine.

As she laughs deeply, I can see Vivian shrugging. I made the most plausible hypothesis that my complexion looks dull, but I'm disappointed because my reaction is aesthetic. Vivian thought that the face would fit, so I calmly went into her emotions.

At that moment, Vivian, who was chattering for a while, suddenly raises her head. Seeing that his face is full of fluttering colors, he seems to be angry for no reason.

Soon I saw a sign of wanting to open my mouth to me, and I immediately struck the player.

“Shut up.”

“Then the sword... Why, what? ”

“Don't call me that. ”

“No! It's my heart! What's wrong with that? ”

“I order in the name of the contract. Please keep that right mouth forever.... ”

“I did something really wrong. ”

Vivian, who moved her arms and raised her voice, immediately fell to her knees. It was a simple suppression.

That's how deep the night went.

*

The next day.

After resting for two hours in groups of four, I immediately announced the departure for An-hyun's rescue.

As a matter of fact, the clan members still don't know the details of the innards, but as soon as I confirmed An-hyun's disappearance, I had already concluded that I should go into the ruins. because missing users are most likely there.

Of course, this is also just a one-time hypothesis. The dragon sleeping mountain range was an uncharted area that remained uncharted.

They said they left in the morning, but it was so dense and dense that I couldn't tell if it was morning or afternoon.

So, after a total of three battles, we were able to arrive at the fork in two hours after departure.

A fork in the road.

As long as you are a mountain, there is a fork in the road, but this fork in the road is a bit special. To the best of my knowledge, it was a cleavage, so that I could see that it was divided into two lengths on the basis of a large tree.

“This is... A fork in the road?”

Twenty minutes ago, the rest muttered to themselves in a gasping voice, whether there was still aftermath of the battle. His gaze was fixed on a large, twisted, crumbly tree in front of his eyes.

I once glanced at the left and right roads, then looked down at the anxious face.

“You mean you went in the right way here? ”

“Yes, yes. I'm sure.”

“How deep did it go? ”

“I didn't go in that much. Ten minutes...? And…"

He suddenly frowned and let out a faint groan as he tried to speak again. The anxious appearance has decreased as much as it did when we first rescued it, but it is still confusing because of the shock in your head.

“First, tell me where you've been to the end. I'll talk to you later. ”

“… Yes. I'm sorry."

I bent my head and turned back. As I watched as I started walking powerlessly, I immediately summoned the new dragon. The user who is currently in charge of the whole team is the new dragon.

I opened my mouth quietly.

“Are you in a bad mood? ”

“If it's bad, it's bad. How much are you talking about? ”

“… I wonder if I can attend the rescue party normally if I work a little too hard. ”

“Absolutely not. ”

Shin Jae Ryong shakes his head without a word. It was a decisive voice.

“… is that all? ”

“Yes, I feel like going back now and resting the united forces. ”

“Phew. ”

“Of course, I know this is because of An-hyun's rescue... You need to be well cared for from the beginning to eliminate the sequelae as much as possible. I don't know what you're talking about, Clan Lord. Please reconsider your participation in the united forces. Maybe staying in this place alone is a burden on the current united forces. ”

Once again, in an uncompromising tone, I nod my head in the sense of knowing. Then I looked at the fork in the road and sighed again.

Suddenly, I remembered what Vivian said yesterday. Once you're on your way to the ruins, it doesn't matter whether it's to the right or to the left. However, the path to the right where Ahn Hyun entered was the one that had a terrifying field effect called the 'land of hatred'.

That's why you need a lot of defensive power to be protected from the field effects, but if you force it from the current state....

"Would you rather have a panel? '

I had an idea because I had a panel ready just before I left, but I immediately shook my head.

I wiped out the quantity in the warehouse, but I was short-stocked at the beginning. You barely make it back to the clans one by one. Moreover, I could not afford to produce a sentimental panel that would work in these mountains, leaving in a hurry.

Also, considering the field effects of the remaining regions, the judging panel was more effective at the fourth gate than the third one, the 'Land of Hate'.

'Let's go inside for now.'

The only way to get to the place I remember is now. In the end, I thought that I would have to face it, but I straightened up and moved on.

I took a short step to the left, then immediately turned to the right. Then you turn your head to look at the clans.

“Then, I'll be on my way. ”

The reason for having the lowest votes in 1st place, Kim Hanbyol will also be in 2nd place. And the second vote would like to collect the opinions of the readers.

I want to limit the total to eight people. Since Yu Jung and Kim Han-star have two spots, there are six spots left. Characters who get high votes are more likely to be selected for future appearances in the work or for illustration production.

This is to prevent the characters participating in the primary vote, and Kim Soo-hyun (to prevent the protagonist from getting a vote.) Please leave a comment if you have any characters you would like to recommend. I'm going to count them one by one, and I'm going to cut from number one to number six, and I'm going to vote second. If we vote, we'll leave a review. Best regards_(__)_
