M E M O R I Z E

Two years ago, when the Golden Lion Clan ruled the North.

When it was confirmed that the western continent and the vagrant alliance were advancing, the North continent was in violent turmoil. Especially in the western city, where the Allied forces were the first to be met, it was even worse.

Eventually, what happened was that users living in western cities were fleeing to other cities. Sometimes the whole clan moved beyond the caravan, not just the users.

So why did that happen?

There were a number of subtle reactions on the surface of the Golden Lion and the immature reactions of the western representative clans, but in fact the biggest reason was right behind it. More precisely, it's the actions of the east and the south.

The southeast, which was not usually good with the golden lion, put in a Scout, an offer that pretended to be a helping hand at the time. Several clans who felt uneasy in the west accepted the proposal and chose to relocate their cities. He did not flee for a while, but chose a path to change the jurisdiction.

And now, after two years,

The situation was very different from then, but something similar was happening. East, West, and North, including the center. Even the southern Koran has begun to move toward it.

The Koranese clans felt uneasy about the growing contingency, and the clans in other cities did not miss this situation. The clan was in the process of recording and updating a small number of controversial, but secretly private, Scout or Clan-level offers. I mean, it was still progressive.

Eventually, a huge reversal occurred.

- Implementation of Moss Clan Road. At this time, the Moss Clan declares its resignation from the Confederacy and officially apologizes to the current clarification of the situation and to the Mercenary Clan….

One of the eight clans that was the core of the Koran alliance moves swiftly. Judging that he could not handle the current situation, he announced his position alone and declared his resignation.

This was different from the simple departure of the clan. The Moss Clan was under the jurisdiction of the entire mountain clan, with a power equivalent of one-eighth of the country turning its back on the Union.

Outwardly, the implementing regulation explained that deep apples and themselves had nothing to do with it, and therefore stopped all activity for a while. However, anyone with a twisted head would have noticed.

Someday this will all go down. The fact that the Moss Clan will move somewhere other than the Koran, whether moving the residential city or merging.

The Moss Clan's declaration of resignation hit the new Koran Alliance, which had barely survived.

Just over a week after the incident, the dropout barely draws a downward curve, turning into a road rise curve. The Moss Clan's declaration has been a great excuse for users who have only seen it under the name of family.

The Koran coalition has lost consciousness. It's hard on the outside, but it's making it harder than helping on the inside. I want to cry, but I slapped him on the cheek.

“Whew. This is killing me. ”

Park Tae-jin grunted and buried himself deep in the chair. I looked at the ceiling for a moment and closed my eyes quietly. Recently, my head aches frequently and my body is weak, so I thought I might get sick.

When I was sitting still without thinking about it, I suddenly felt my shoulders were cool. Someone starts rubbing his shoulders. I glanced at him and showed him smiling. Taejin Park, who confirmed that the young man was Park Hwan Hee, laughed deeply.

“Cool. Squeeze my neck a little more. ”

Then Park Hwan-hee began to wring his neck without speaking a word.

In fact, Tae Jin was very fond of this young man. Not only did I like him, I was thinking of him as almost a successor.

There were no users who hated Park Hwang-hee, at least a few clans, to see how spreading and polite they were. Appearance is good, user information is good, above all competence and good practice. Park Hwang Hee was not just a traitor to the Sue Clan.

Did you recognize Taejin Park's expectations, Park Hwang Hee showed more sincerity. It looked as if he had seen the first time he entered the hall plane, Taejin always carried Park Hwang-hee around. I was so jealous that one clan member would get married.

'I know people.'

A moderate number of clans have now turned their backs and many have fallen. However, Park Hwang Hee still remains. Looking at this, Taejin smiled, thinking his eyes were not wrong.

After a while, Park Hwan-hee cautiously opened his mouth.

“You're amazing. I can't believe I'm laughing in this situation.... ”

“Huh? Ah... Well, if I'm down, who's going to believe in the Union? That's why you should smile. Pretend you're not having a hard time but you're smiling even if you want to. ”

“Easy for you to say. But it's hard to do that. ”

“Yes, I do. But that's where I'm supposed to be. No matter how hard it is, we have to find a way through it, and we must not lose hope under any bad conditions. I mean, there's also the power of positivity, right? You should remember that. ”

What a surprise. Park Hwan-hee opened her eyes for a moment. Then, Tae-jin raised his hand and let out a long sigh.

Then Park Hwang Hee opened her mouth with a quiet smile.

“I'm still worried. There are a lot of people left who only trust you. But I can see you're tired these days. I think I'm going to collapse soon. ”

“Don't worry. I don't fall that easily. ”

“That's what I'm saying because I'm worried. And even though it's a user, it's essentially a person. I can't keep running. You need to rest now. ”

“Got it. Got it. What are you talking about? Someone thinks she's my wife. Hahaha.”

However, Tae Jin burst out a big smile to see if he felt better about what he was worried about. And I stretched my base as quietly as I could.

However, as I still have to say, Park Hwang Hee looked forward with her hands twitching. Soon, when Park Tae-jin lowered his hand with a short groan, Park Hwan-hee opened his mouth quietly.

“Brother. Speaking of which, you're really going to have to change your mind soon. ”

“Oh, okay. If so, would you mind... ”

Tae-jin, who nodded his head, suddenly stopped speaking. It's because Park Hwang Hee suddenly gave out a record. After taking a few shakes and going through the records, for a moment, Tae-jin Park's eyes felt a spot of debris. Then I lifted my head and shook my eyes.

“This... It's a ruin record, right?”

“Yes, courtesy of Mercenary Road. ”

“What? Mercenary Road? Did you... know each other? ”

“I used to be an instructor at the user academy. That's when I learned a little bit. We're not that close. ”

Park Hwan-hee explained with a clumsy smile. Park Tae-jin tilted his head.

“Yeah? Well, that's a different story if he gave it to me. It's a real possibility. Then why all of a sudden? ”

“That's... I'm sorry.”

“Hmm?"

“I didn't expect things to get this big. It looks like there were some problems with the machine and the central management. ”

Park Tae-jin heavily snorted. It's because I knew this would happen from the time I left the Central Administrative Organization. And now you're sorry you had to come all this way. Tae-jin Park, who had a tongue, stared at the record with an unfair tone.

“Anyway, good. So, we go now? ”

“Isn't that great? You get out of the city, you get some air, you get a knife to relieve the stress. ”

“Hey, man. I can't go now. I'm telling you, it's a long day.Let's explore here. It's a mess.”

“Of course, we have to make excuses on the outside. A reasonable excuse for everyone. ”

Taejin looked at me curiously. Then Park Hwan-hee looked around and calmly said.

“You said you wouldn't say anything right away, but you would after you investigated the truth. ”

“That's right."

“This ruin is just on the way to the sleeping mountains. So it looks like we're going to the dragon sleeping mountains to investigate the truth, and the ruins might just be a coincidence. ”

“Happiness. However... ”

I said, "If you look at it like this, it's a dodgy situation. Those who go out will go out, and those who blame will continue to blame. Instead of sitting around like this, why don't you just tell them to investigate the truth for a while? It can show behavior, it can stall time, it can make you feel better. The accidental excavation of the ruins will revitalize the stagnant alliance. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Park Tae-jin slowly touched his chin. At first, I thought it was crazy, but then I heard it was tempting. After thinking for a long time, I nodded my head, placing the record on my desk.

“I see. I'll think about it a little bit, but first let's see what's going on." If you don't see any improvement, you might as well do what you say. ”

I didn't say I was going, but it was almost a refusal. Park Hwang Hee smiled slightly and nodded his head to see if he was satisfied.

“Yes, I'll take my time to prepare. ”

*

The visiting room was strangely cold. The moment I was left alone, Shinhyuk's body shook noticeably. Kim Soo-hyun's eyes that see Shinhyuk like that are not so cold. The dark-eyed pupils show a subtle lifestyle, and the air around them sinks indefinitely.

Shinhyuk rolled his eyes. I opened my mouth with a trembling voice, trying my best to remain calm.

“Well, yeah... What is Mercenary Lord doing here? Are you here to reproduce the famous White Paper case because you don't have a poet? ”

It was a squeaky voice. However, instead of being angry, Kim Su-hyun burst into laughter. Then he tapped the table and responded.

“There's nothing you can't do. But White Seo-yeon survived quite a bit. How long do you expect to last? It's a clan road, but shouldn't it last three or four days? Hahaha.”

“Who knows who will be scared.... ”

“And here's the proverb: Thieves are a pain in the ass. And it doesn't sound very convincing to say it in such a chatty voice. ”

“Who!”

Shinhyuk, who was about to shout, suddenly stopped talking. It's because Kim Soo-hyun, who scoffed at me with a mockery voice, put her hand in her arms and pulled something out.

Suddenly, unwarranted despair struck me. I came to see you. Shinhyuk was wondering what to do, seeing the beads laid by Kim Soo-hyun through the window. A bead of blue light, the size of a tent, was the crystal of truth.

“This... The Crystal of Truth?”

“Oh, you know what I mean. Haha... Ah. ”

“... You have no idea. So, why 'd you take this out all of a sudden? ”

“Hmmm. Seems like a gentleman to me. I wasn't forced out in the first place. I mean, give him a chance? ”

Soft, soothing bass. But inside, there was an unseen sharpness. The necklace of Shinhyuk swallowed. Nevertheless, because his neck was tightly burned, Shinhyuk had only to look back at the crystal of truth for a while.

“Soo-hyun Kim... What do you want from me? ”

“What do you want? The truth, all the truth you know. If you're so confident, put your hands down. And prove it."

“Huff...! The situation, the situation, I heard it! Then this should be enough! Where the hell are we going? Y-you have no blood or tears! ”

“Why is my tongue so long? Shut up and put your hands where I can see them. What you're doing right now is admitting your actions in the end. ”

“Rejection…. ”

“Deny it, once. ”

Shinhyuk jumped up and shouted. No, I was going to scream.

However, Kim Soo-hyun immediately hung up on me, so I opened my mouth and stopped. I couldn't even get out the words that were hanging from my throat.

Kim Soo-hyun took out the lotus candle with a bold face. Then I lighted the fire slowly and opened my mouth.

“In advance, whether you put your hand on the crystal or not, the result is the same. I've already been given custody by the central administration, and it's over once I hand you over. Actually, I'd rather you keep denying it. You don't have to ask questions with a headache, save the Crystal of Truth, and most of all, there's no surer way to do it than mental contamination…. And one more thing. ”

Kim Soo-hyun took a few moments before opening her eyes wide.

“I promise you this. From the moment you refuse, you will never be comfortable until the day you die. Whatever you're imagining, I'm going to show you more. This is really something to look forward to. ”

At the end of the sentence, Shinhyuk's eyes were shaken to the point of view. I shook my tongue without knowing it. When I saw the tail of the mouth painting a soft arc wire, my whole body was horrified.

Shinhyuk was speechless. No, I couldn't. Because I felt that Kim Soo-hyun's words were not a bluff, and that he had no choice.

He really wants me to say no. No, it doesn't matter what happens. The only difference is how to get there, and the conclusion is the same.

Shinhyuk, who thought that way, reflexively sat down to face the cold snowflake that was coming up from below.

There was silence for a while.

However, Kim Soo-hyun opened her mouth, bouncing off the candle, whether she hated the endless silence.

“Talking more is a waste of time. Shinhyeok? Last chance. Place your hand on the Crystal of Truth in 3 seconds. If you don't put it on, I'll consider you a reject and take over. Then one.”

“Wait a minute! No, Mercenary Road! ”

“Two.”

“On it! On it! But first, I need you to answer me one thing, please! ”

Shinhyuk quickly placed his hands, begging to be humiliated. Kim Soo-hyun, who was just about to count to three, stopped. And soon, the taste was again, and it seemed quite a shame to finally lay a hand on the crystal of truth. Shinhyuk, who confirmed the reaction, felt a cool sweat on his back.

“Hm. Please. I heard you can't help but remember the dead. Yeah, what do you want to know? ”

“Just tell me who did it and who did it. Just record the meeting and let me know who it was that tipped you off. I want to know who did this, at least. ”

“Hmm? Ah... Hmm. Well. I've been personally asked to keep it a secret. ”

“It doesn't matter anyway, it's all over now! Who is it, Tae-jin Park? Is it Baek Doo Mountain or Park Hwang Hee? ”

Kim Soo-hyun's face was subtle. He smiled as if he was trying to tell you. However, the moment the name Park Hwan-hee appeared, the smooth brows narrowed.

“Park Hwan-hee? Who is she...? Aah! Aah! That's right. I met him at the user academy. Then why did his name suddenly... Park Hwang-hee was in the Koran? Anyway, she's not. ”

This time, it was his turn to distort his face. It was almost a soliloquy, but it was because of the nuance that she did not know Park Hwanhee, the resemblance. In addition, Park Hwang-hee had just heard that she met a mercenary road, so it was an incomprehensible reaction as a neophyte.

“That's... What do you mean, you don't know Park Hwang Hee? ”

“No, no. I just don't remember for a second, I know who it is. I met him at the user academy as an instructor versus a chick. I learned a little face back then. And I helped out a little bit after the war two years ago. My clan was in league with him... Anyway, we lost contact, but I didn't know you were in the Koran Coalition. Well, why do you ask? ”

Rather, I only looked at Kim Soo-hyun, who is asking me questions again, because Shinhyuk is far away. Then I thought for a moment. It was certainly similar to what he knew, but it had never been said that he had lost contact.

'Wait. Then... Park Hwang Hee is not a spy. So what the hell happened?'

Park Hwang Hee is not a spy, proven by the correction of the truth.

Park Hwang-hee also said that he met Mercenary Road at that time.

But now, the mercenary road has almost forgotten Park Hwang-hee.

Dizziness on my forehead pinged me. Shinhyuk grabbed hold of his tenacious head, then shouted with a loud fur.

“How far do you have to make fun of me to be satisfied! Not long ago, I met Park Hwang-hee in Koran! ”

“Huh? What's a joke? This is actually... ”

“Don't be ridiculous! Because I know everything! In the streets of the night, in the windows! Didn't you talk to Park Hwang Hee? And…"

“No, wait, wait. What kind of nonsense is that? I haven't seen Park Hwang-hee since. And I've never been to the window. Aren't you confused with someone else? ”

Shinhyuk's eyes only grew into a flashlight cup.

“Don't lie! No, wait... Oh, no, it's not. That can't be right. Well, what is it? What the hell is going on? ”

“… I see. I don't understand.”

Then Shinhyuk stammered as if he had remembered something unnaturally. Then suddenly, he starts screaming like a madman.

Due to the confined space, Kim Soo-hyun frowned. And you reach out your hand with a face that you have no idea why you're doing this, taking it off first, and placing your hand on it. And after a while, a little light rose from the crystal of truth with a bright light.

“What, what are you doing?! ”

“Wash your ears and listen carefully. I have not met a user named Park Hwan-hee in the last 2 years. I have never contacted Park Hwan-hee by any means. I have not been to the window you speak of, nor have I met Park Hwanhee in the window. ”

“... Huff?! ”

“How about this? This proves my point." ”

Shinhyuk reflectively examined the crystal of truth. And the moment I confirmed that the color of the light was intact, I groaned strangely. At the same time, you feel a heavy impact on your left head. Suddenly, my whole body was exhausted and I bent down to one side.

“Hey! Shinhyuk? Hey!"

“Now, hold on! Shut up, shut up! ”

“Excuse me?”

“Please! I just need a minute! No, no, no! Please, please, please! ”

He doesn't know what he's talking about. However, Shinhyuk, who was afraid of the road, put his hand into a round hole and took away the crystal of truth. And speaking of which, I couldn't help but notice that the light had changed and the color had been restored to its original color. In other words, it was an original, not a forgery.

“This... What…."

Shinhyuk's face lost its light in a flash. I turned white in my head. For now, I have no idea.

Only one. What the hell is going on? Only this one question remained, stabbing the entire body of Shinhwa like a needle.

Queek!

“Clan Road. Wait…."

At that moment, the sound of someone coming in, Kim Soo-hyun waking up, and coming out for a moment continuously whistling, "Keep your head cool."

But right now, Shinhyuk didn't have the slightest care. Two memories, and the disconnect that arose from the two crystals of truth, were immeasurably engulfing the whole body of the Divine Revolution.

Soon, I heard the door close with a bang. The rest of the Faith breathes heavily and breathes heavily. After more than ten such unconscious breaths, I was able to hardly catch the mental cord that I had missed for a moment.

Shinhyuk did not see the scene where Park Hwang-hee and Mercenary Road met in person. I just thought it would be, and that was Park Hwang Hee's admission. Now, however, Mercenary Road has never met Park Hwang-hee.

Shinhyuk gripped the crystal of truth as if it were crumbling. I closed my eyes and desperately organized my thoughts.

Soon, the situation began to come back to me one by one in the mind of Shinhweok.

'… I met him. Yes, I admit that.'

The moment I remembered my first memory, Shinhyuk bit my lips. At this time, Park Hwang Hee was before using the correction of the truth. I mean, he lied.

So why? Why did he lie?

Leaving behind the rising questions, Shinhyuk made every effort to find as calmness as possible. And Park Hwang-hee continued to recall assuming she hadn't met the mercenary road. From here, I used the crystal of truth.

'Yes, Park Hwan-hee the user... I told a story.'

Yeah, I definitely talked to someone. But there is no subject, who I spoke to.

'No! I didn't reveal your plan at the window! I've never laid down a plan for a mercenary road before, not today! It's unfair!'

I did not demonstrate the plan of the Faith. However, it may not be practical, depending on the situation. If the opponent already knew about the plan of the Divine Revolution, there is no need to say so.

Furthermore, since there is a condition called plan restriction, he may have told another story as much as he wants. So, most importantly, with someone other than the Mercenary Road.

"Wait. What if they knew my plan...?" Did you attend the meeting...? '

And one last thing.

'Sir! I'm not a spy for the Mercenary Clan. I have never received a spy order from the Mercenary Clan. He also never put his plan into practice with the Mercenary Road and simply did what he asked!'

This was the most important part. Park Hwan-hee is not a spy in the coalition. Then why did he lie about meeting a mercenary lord?

And for the sake of doing me a favor, this is also ambiguous. Horses are not subtly connected. At that time, I was talking about the thought of meeting with Mercenary Lord, but when I saw him, I didn't tell him exactly who he was asking for. That is, this is also without a subject.

“What the hell.... What's going on... ”

Shinhyuk muttered with a almost crying voice. I don't know why Park Hwang Hee lied, or who she met at the time. No, maybe Park Hwang Hee met the culprit at that time. No, I don't think so. Was it just a cover?

Queek.

That's when I heard the door open quietly.

Shinhyuk felt that the crystal of truth that he had been holding so tightly was shattered. But instinctively, I stopped thinking and stared at the door. Then I could see Kim Soo-hyun, who was going out for a while, coming back into the visiting room again.

Shinhyuk watched as he watched through Kim Soo-hyun.

All the answers were with that guy.

*

When I came back and sat in the viewing room, the face of Shinhyeok was truly shameful. The first bluffing, then screaming like a madman, was nowhere to go. I kept my mouth shut, looking at myself with my Eagle's eyes burning.

I could barely bear to laugh and put my hand into my heart.

Users like Shinhyeok personally are very fond of it. He thinks he's smart, but he's not. Though he thinks he is special, he is not only a cohesive user living in the world he created.

As much as that, it's easy to handle as you want. It is because if you throw some decent food, it will interpret it as its own interpretation and determine it to be true.

Either way.

I gave him plenty of time to think. Of course, it was also time to use the Crystal of Truth.

Anyway, since he's so thoughtful, he's just about to go crazy because his head is so complicated right now. Now all you have to do is show me the food that binds them all together.

“How's it going? Is your head cool? ”

“... who are you? ”

“... Well, it doesn't matter if you tell me now. ”

“ ……. ”

After I tilted my head, I opened my mouth with the impression that there was nothing I could do. And when I took the recording crystal ball out of my arms, I put the piercing gaze of Shinhyeok. The crystal ball was also a glare. I shrugged my shoulders and spoke freely.

“I'd rather see it once than hear it a hundred times. Especially someone as suspicious as you. ”

I rolled the crystal shaft into a round hole under the center of the window. Shinhyuk received a crystal ball more calmly than he thought. Soon after placing his hands quietly, the video began to flow.

The beginning of the video was from the part where Cho Seung Woo swiped the right hair.

(I see. Thank you very much. And I sincerely apologize for what I said earlier. In fact, I was so angry when I first heard it....)

(Ah, no. I was aware of the situation. As Sue Lord said earlier, Orlot is at fault with Nambee Lord. Moreover, you have shown the pride and distribution of the Koran Alliance so far... You'd think this would be enough for our clan road. As I said before, I will not do as much damage to the alliance as possible except for the Bees.)

The video was not played for a long time. Less than a minute later, Cho Seung Woo swiped his left hair and the crystal ball turned off. And I looked at the face of the mystic statue still holding the crystal sphere.

“ ……. ”

Surprisingly, the outward appearance of Shinhwoo did not show much change.

His eyes were still wide open and his lips were silent.

But that was also a moment.

It started to change slowly.

First, the eyebrows slightly raised. The confused eyes are deeply silent. My lips are slowly chewing away at me. The hand holding the crystal ball was trembling, and there was fine gold on the outside.

Later, the head of Shinhyeok who was looking at the crystal ball slowly and very slowly began to be heard, and he immediately met my gaze.

And that was the moment.

Boom!

The fist of Shinhyuk struck me as hard as he could with a spear to divide the boundaries.

Then look up at the ceiling at the same time.

“Shhhhh!"

I could see the Shinhyuk's eyes, half-turned.

“Hehe! Hehehehe! Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhaha!”

And I burst into laughter like a madman. Almost like a half-diligent user, he smiles faintly.

Shinhyuk suddenly stopped laughing, smiling like a madman for a while. Then, you twist your face like a miraculous malice and cry out for someone's name.

“Bastard!"

I stopped gazing at the entertaining mythology.

Then I secretly smiled and thought to myself.

Maybe the residents who are outside right now...

No, not a resident.

Maybe we're smiling together for the purpose of the residents who are out there right now.

Hmm. Now I know a little bit about why I can't stockpile. Hahahaha.It's my sin. I admire the writers for subtracting the progress that they have made in the first half of this.:)

Oh, and I'll tell you one thing in the review today. Probably all the vengeance will be over by the next round. But the contents are a little... Anyway, for those of you who are reluctant readers, your eyes may frown. I give you a warning in advance, so if you don't want to see it, please don't hesitate to skip it. Best regards_(__)_
