Possessing Nothing

Lee Sung-min looked at Kim Jong-hyun in surprise with wide eyes. Surprised that Kim Jong-hyun was the same, he opened his mouth halfway. Since it was the last time I saw him before leaving Behenger, it was only four years before I met him again. Although there was a gap between the two, Kim Jong-hyun did not change as if time had stopped.

“This... is a strange fate. Maybe it's fate too.”

Kim Jong-hyun mumbled and walked loudly, his face unchanged compared to four years ago, but his outfit was much different then. Kim Jong-hyun's clothing, which Lee remembered, was a white robe that was worn under any kind of support.

However, Kim Jong-hyun was wearing a dark robe that looked luxurious. The black symbol engraved on the robe was not merely engraved with gold thread. It was writhing and moving as if it were alive.

“… do you know each other? ”

A middle-aged shaman holding a sword and restraining Lee Sung-min asks. The target of the question was Jonghyun Kim. Lee Sung-min's eyebrows twitched at the question.

It is not uncommon to be a superstar. Among the unmanned that Lee Sung-min has met, there are surprisingly many masters, but few of them are even in the big gate. If you are a master, you are more than mediocre in any discipline.

A middle-aged potter in a volcano who is half as good as he is. Given that Lee Sung-min's skill is knocking on the door of supernova, the so-called so-called so-called so-called so-called masters standing in a considerable position in the volcanic system. However, such a volcanic master was extremely respectful of Kim Jong-hyun.

“Ahh. Ahh. Oh, yeah. We know each other. But... what happened? There seems to be a misunderstanding. ”

Kim Jong-hyun looked around and muttered. The young lizards of the fallen volcano rise up. They gasp and shout.

“Ooh, we didn't do anything wrong. As I heard, I was guarding the entrance from here, but you said we have to go inside for free...! ”

“… umm…”

The middle-aged man groaned at the cry of the young shamans. He looks at Lee Sung-min's face, realizing later and muttering.

“Weren't you... a fatal young man and a blacksmith... with the scriptures of Shaolin yesterday? ”

“… correct. ”

“Yes... yes. The wind told me you knew the sword. Are you here for the sword? ”

“That's... no. ”

“Then what are you here for? Why did you try to subdue them? You said you're not here for the Sword, so why are you interfering with the volcanic activity to kill the Sword? ”

At that point, Lee Sung-min thought about what he would say. I need to see the Sword. I have something to ask the Sword Ear. You are responsible for this.

In what way?

I don't think about how I want to take responsibility for the topics I feel responsible for. It's just a blur. I just feel I have to take responsibility. So it doesn't become a language. The impulse I feel in my mind. The urge is to insist. You cannot speak it, because you have not refined it in a language, and you cannot harden your mind.

“… Hmm. ”

Kim Jong-hyun, who was silent, shrugged. Kim Jong-hyun's eyes turned to Lee Sung-min.

[What's going on?]

Kim Jong-hyun's voice echoes in my head. It was not a consonant, but it was similar to a consonant. Lee first explained to Kim Jong-hyun about his situation. It was not a big deal to explain to Jonghyun Kim because he knew that Lee Sung-min was returning to life after he died.

“I'll go with you. ”

Kim Jong-hyun, who had heard all the stories, nodded his head. The middle-aged teacher was surprised and looked back at Kim Jong-hyun.

“What is it...? ”

“Statue Guru. I've been sent from the guild to help you, as requested by your predecessor, the Wandering Master. Pursuing and killing the sword, he will absolutely need my help to hear the news of the case. ”

Kim Jong-hyun calmly told Yooseong Guru. He made a trembling face to Kim Jong-hyun's words, but his head nodded.

“I... know that. ”

“If I can't go with you, I won't go either. ”

Kim Jong-hyun said so, and his face distorted. The same thing happened to Lee Sung-min.

[No, it's too hard, isn't it?]

[Is there any other way to persuade that stubborn soothsayer than to insist? Rather, in this case, squirming like a baby will work.]

[What if the Master oppresses you and forces you to take him?]

[You do not have the authority to do that to a Paid Master. No, no one on the volcano can treat me like that. The volcano has formally requested support from the Wizard Guild for this matter, and I have been dispatched from the Wizard Guild for him. If a volcano treats you carelessly, it's like putting poop on the dignity of the Wizard's Guild.]

[Is that all?]

During that four years, you've changed a lot. Especially without balls. I wasn't playing around. Scarlet has become a Red Horse Master, so I'm also out of the Wehenger Wizard's Guild because I'm sick of my stomach.]

[… Yes? What's that supposed to mean?]

[Now I've become a black steed.]

Kim Jong-hyun said with a face that it is not bulky, but Lee Sung-min could not take it lightly. The Black Horse Tower. This means that Kim Jong-hyun was the highest ranked among the Black Wizards who placed enemies in the Wizard's Guild.

[You don't have to look at it that way. Unlike other horse towers, the Black Tower is neither too big nor too powerful. All skilled Black Wizards, like Prescan, were banned and kicked out or died, and most of the time they didn't enter or enter the Wizard's Guild in the first place. Well, we still have the power to force it at the same time.]

Kim Jong-hyun grinned. Yooseong, who was thinking with his poop chewing face, nodded his head while sharpening his teeth.

“... What if... that young man wants to help the sword?" ”

“If that's the case, I'll kill you. for sure.”

He said it without changing his face, but he could feel it was true. It was the same with the statue that felt him.

Eventually, Yooseong allowed Lee to go inside. When I accompanied Lee Sung-min, Kim Jong-hyun told me that I didn't need to escort him.

“You mean he's better than me? ”

“No, I just don't need it. I am the Black Horse Master. I have a knack for protecting my body. ”

“But I told you to bring her back...”

“I don't feel respectful about going with you. Just go and pick up those sick little lizards over there. ”

After speaking so far, Yooseong Doin could no longer follow Kim Jong-hyun. Lee Sung-min left his tongue out while traveling with Kim Jong-hyun.

“Jonghyun Kim... is more resilient than I thought. ”

“Seat is the way to make people. ”

Kim Jong-hyun replied. Lee walked fast because he was impatient, and Kim Jong-hyeon did not lag behind in his pace of walking.

“You can run all you want. ”

Only after Kim Jong-hyun said that, Seong-min ran forward.

“By the way, do you know where to go? ”

When I looked next to him, Kim Jong-hyun was flying half a inch off the ground. Though the divination method of flying in the sky would be immense, Kim Jong-hyeon is using magic, not shaman.

“… I don't know. ”

“There's no plan. I'll set a course for you. Go. ”

Lee Sung-min became aware of how emotionally he moved. If I hadn't met Kim Jong-hyun in that situation, I would have seen a great disadvantage in the fight with Yooseong Guru. Even if they were fortunate enough to defeat the statue master, they would have lost the volcano and chucked it, and it would have been impossible to track the sword in this vast area.

“By the way... I thought it was hopeless. Why can't you see anyone? ”

“How inefficient and bothersome would it be to fill a vast area full of people. Well, it seems that in Moorish, not Eria... This place isn't Moorish. ”

Kim Jong-hyun grinned.

“There are many ways to replace people in Eria. Magic is one such tool. Volcanoes have requested cooperation from the Guild of Wizards of Drimoor in order to effectively sweep the area for the killing of swords. Of course it wasn't free, and the Wizard's Guild accepted him. Many wizards in the Wizard's Guild were using chase magic and war horses to chase after the Sword, and I ended up here in Dreamer. The sword has already been located. It's being communicated in real time to the uninhabited people on the volcano. ”

“... What are you... going to do with the sword? ”

“Me? Hmm. There's no room for me to intervene in the sword's assassination. I just... I came here in response to the fact that the sword uses strange magic. And when the sword died, it came to interrogate him. ”

“... Interrogation. When the sword died, didn't you say? ”

“Sometimes it's easier to interrogate the dead than to interrogate the living. especially for a dark wizard like me. Rather... Seong-min. Some of the ominous blessings you felt were gone. ”

“… can you feel it? ”

“Of course. I couldn't do it.... Hehe! Why did you do that favor? ”

Kim Jong-hyun smiled and asked. Lee Sung-min, who was running in the direction Kim Jong-hyun set, chewed his lower lip slightly without answering straight away. After a while, Lee Sung-min replied.

“… I didn't want to rely on it. ”

“That strange blessing had no adverse effect on you. Rather, I was helping you. It's a great ability to get unconditional affection from someone on the ground. Even if it is impulsive, the ability to force a 'first impression' … is a tremendous value for its use. By the way, did you throw it away just because you didn't want to rely on that blessing? ”

“... unless I'm aware of the existence of that blessing. As long as I am aware of him, I will expect someone else. That someone else is doing me a favor. And you're going to take that for granted and you're going to be arrogant. And I... don't want to be connected to others as that impulsive, compulsory favor. ”

“Hahaha!”

In Lee's answer, Kim Jong-hyun burst out a big smile.

“It's self-satisfying after all. Lee Sung-min, you've already got most of what you need, and the process of obtaining that identity must have been a blessing. You take what you want, and now you're telling me that? ”

“That's right. It's self-satisfying. ”

Lee Sung-min did not deny him.

“That's who I am. Selfish, and I'm the only one. So is my behavior right now. I don't even know what I want to do with my sword. But we're doing it because we want to do it. ”

“Something new. ”

Kim Jong-hyun smiled again.

“That's what it's like to be human in the first place. What's so great about wanting to do it that you need reasons and reasoning? In the beginning, every animal lives by impulse. Suppressing it is rational. Just because we don't refrain from doing what we want to do, we don't become people. ”

I can smell it.

“Just because I act impulsively doesn't necessarily mean that I have to answer why I act this way. It doesn't take a great, noble, convincing reason to erase the blessing. Simply

Isn't that right, Lee Sung-min? You did it because you wanted to. ”

That is why it is called self-satisfaction.

The smell becomes intense. Lee Sung-min knew this smell.

It smelled like blood.

You see the bodies lying around.
