Possessing Nothing

< Reunion -2 >

Lee Sung-min supported Ji-hoon's body. Ji Ho-yeon, who was standing staggering, tried to sit down. Lee quickly reached out his hand and wrapped around Wei Ji Ho-yeon's waist.

“... Ah-ha-ha! ”

Wijiho-yeon burst into laughter. Lee Sung-min, who fixed her whining, glanced at Wijihoen, who burst out a big smile. Wijihoyen, who was wagging his shoulders and smiling, shook his head.

“Things don't really work out the way you think they do. ”

He said that and tried to strengthen his legs. However, his legs were trembling like a thorn bush and did not support him properly.

“Ten years ago, when I promised to meet you today... I never thought I'd meet you like this. I... I'm so ashamed to see you. ”

“I don't think I'm ashamed. ”

Lee Sung-min replied. She tried to stand on her own, but she couldn't get into the bridge, so she gave up on standing. After a short sigh, she saw Lee Sung-min's face.

“Really? Well, that's a relief. Then let's do something a little more... embarrassing. I can hardly stand on my own. Hold me back."

Lee Sung-min did not answer. Instead, the spear was retracted into the subspace pocket, and a blank back wrapped around W. Hoenn. Ji Ho-yeon on his back was too light. Seong-min felt a little upset about it.

The squatting Yu Yu Jung didn't get up. He only looked at Lee Sung-min, who was carrying W. Ho-yeon with bloodshot eyes. Yoo Ho-jeong chewed his lower lip.

[… Leave Rubeth.]

In Lee Sung-min's head, I heard the Voice of the Well.

[I've already blown up the Book of Chronosphere that the Small Horses are weak to Muslims. It's not far from here to Cron... Maybe even Muslims know about it and are already organizing an assassination squad.]

[Why are you telling me that?]

[Because you didn't kill me.]

Yusuf's face, answering like that, was covered in miserable light.

[That's it. If there are Muslim Killers coming... I'll act with them too. As long as you defeat me, your risk grows. Unless you give up the Mountain, you're going to have a terrible day ahead.

I too will bear your horror.]

[This is familiar.]

That's what Lee said. However, I was grateful for Yusuf's advice. Lee took a step to get out of the gate first.

[Wait…]

It was the moment that Heju was about to say something. Lee Seong-min stopped. Heju didn't finish his sentence, but Lee Sung-min kept thinking. Soon, he turned around and turned his back on the gate. The eyes of the squatting wellbelow open wide.

“... You're not leaving? ”

“I think it's safer this way. ”

Even Yusuf's advice about leaving the city is true. But there are still minerals and rubies in this city. Without the Mine Horse, even if you turn south, you won't find a tribe that can handle force.

I don't just want to stay in rubes for that.

“You know, there's groceries in rubes. ”

His face stiffened.

If there are Muslim, Old Pilgrim, and Luxury Safaris in the sect, there are Safari, Samaritan, and Madosam. Rubes is a city of different forces, including the Golden Tower and the Red Tower, the Blind and the Saddle. As a result, the city was large and developed, and its security was stable. It's because the intertwined forces suppressed each other in the midst of the cancer and were made static.

They are a group of Safaris, so they are hostile to the Muslims. Not all people are mad because they say they are sapphires, and not all people are evil because they need to know that they are enough to live in this world. On the other hand, there is also the removal of Madu from the private sector.

Wijiho-yeon is a celebrity. Although they don't want to collide with Muslim blindness, if they are as famous as Wijihoyeon, they may protect them from Muslim blindness. This is better than being chased out of the city by a blind man with an unhealthy sighting.

[You're not an idiot.]

Heju grumbles. Heju also tries to tell you to stay in the city, holding on to the Lee Sung-min who was about to leave the gates.

You think I'm an idiot? ’

Lee Sung-min died like that and passed through the well. The spectators who gathered stood back as Lee Sung-min carried Ji-hoon. Ji Ho-yeon, who was stretching out her arms on Lee's shoulders, chuckled and laughed.

“Thirsty... No. I knew it for the first time.”

“What?”

“Yes and so on. It's... spacious and nice. I've never been on someone's back like this. Maybe I was carried away as a very young boy who I don't remember... but this is the first time I remember. ”

Ji Ho-yeon raised her head forward. She leans her chin against Lee Sung-min's shoulder. Then he tilted his head slightly and laid his head on Lee Sung-min's neck and head.

“... I feel good. Should I say stable... Hehe! Weird thing to think about. You gave me a lot of things for the first time. He's my friend. He taught me how to be a shaman. I made a promise. Being guarded.... And being held like this. ”

His voice was small. The exhale was shallow and warm. The breath that touches your ear seems to tickle your eardrum. My heart was beating loudly, and I was a little worried that I might hear it from W. Hoenn.

“Nice... to meet you. ”

The stretched arm rises slightly upward. Ji Ho-yeon's arms hugged Lee Sung-min's neck.

“I'm sorry I'm late. I never thought I'd break my promise... Hehe! I was slower than I thought. Still... It may sound like an excuse, but... Don't blame me too much. I had a hard time getting here...”

“What happened to you? Why are you... so weak? ”

“Next time…”

Ji Ho-yeon answered with a helpless voice.

“… later. ”

Finally, he did not say any more. Lee was frightened and turned his head to look at Wijihoen. Her face was right before Lee Sung-min. With a weak exhale, Lee was relieved. Wijiho-yeon was just asleep. Lee Hyeong-min lets out a sigh while empowering his stumbling leg.

“What a surprise...! ”

I look at Wijihoyen's sleeping face for a moment and insist on walking. The spectators didn't follow. I could see Yu Yu Yu Jung jumping up from afar. Where's the private stockpile? This way is faster than thinking and exploring.

‘Nevel.’

[Yes.]

The voice of Nebbel is heard in your mind. Whenever this happened, Lee Sung-min questioned the brokerage guild, Erebrisa. Convenience as an intermediary guild was also convenient, but vague things like information are not handled perfectly. However, the ability of the brokers to be affiliated was uncanny.

‘The location of the miners and Rubia. And rubes' geographic information. ’

Rather than asking for the location of the posse, Seongmin wanted geographic information throughout the city. Soon after, Nevel appears in the shadow of Lee Sung-min. He gave the Crystal Ball used to pass information to Lee Sung-min.

He didn't ask for a map, he asked for geographic information to make sure it was engraved on his head.

The quadrant was located in the central district. A mercenary guild is a long way from the Muslim branch. Rubia and GwangcheonMa were riding a circulating train around the outskirts of the central district.

‘Tell them to come to buy something. ’

[Yes, sir.]

After asking Neville about him, Lee Sung-min started moving again. I couldn't get on the train. This was thanks to the guard who ignored what they said. But now I can't behave. Lee Sung-min started running on the railroad just like he did when he got here. You hear another whistle and the screams of the guards, but it doesn't stop you. I thought it was important to go to Sapphire first and hear their position.

[This woman... is cursed.]

You hear a hesitant murmur as you run along the tracks. At that, Lee Sung-min's body shivered.

"Curse"?

[Yes, it's a strange form of curse. It's not magic... It looks like a curse used by southern shamans. Very poor quality.]

Heju kicked his tongue short.

[You're twisting the blood and impeding the gathering of your strength. Not only that... I'm shaking my body from the ground up. No matter how good a master is, he can't move properly with a curse like this in his body. The internal air does not converge properly, and the back-blending continues to cause pain. I'm shaking my body there, so I can't even use my physical strength properly.]

I think of Wijihoen sitting down. Stretchy limbs and fading voices. Sung-min chewed his lower lip well.

"How do I break the curse?" ’

[Magic is not magic. Magic can be conquered with better magic, but magic is different. Especially a curse of this lineage is impossible unless you kill a cursed alchemist.]

For now, I couldn't figure out who the cursed alchemist was. First, we have to wait for Wijihoyeon to wake up and then hear directly from her.

[Fortunately, the curse itself cannot kill this woman. Is it just to take away your power and inflict pain...? It's a bad curse.]

He was cursed. Wijiho-yeon who was so strong. Lee Sung-min met a variety of people as he arrived here, and met strong people who would never have been in a past life. With the exception of hundreds of years old monsters such as Geniella and Zhou Yu, Ji Ho-yeon was the most "human" that Lee Sung-min had ever met. But you said that Ji Ho-yeon was cursed and weakened?

Stop running for a long time. Lee Seong-min jumped over the railing and started running again. Soon he arrives at a place remembered in his head.

The pavilion was a huge Oriental mansion. In front of the entrance of the mansion are two ferocious-looking guards. Lee Sung-min listened to the breathing of Ji Ho-yeon, who fell asleep behind his back, and approached them.

“Earrings?”

The guard opens his mouth. At that, Lee Sung-min's eyebrows flickered.

“A few thousand horses on your back? ”

The guard who looked at Lee Sung-min's face muttered as he glanced at Wei Ji Ho-yeon who was asleep. Then I turned away without listening to Lee Sung-min.

“Go on in. The head office is waiting. ”

Two guards open the door for you. Lee didn't think they would find out and open the door first.

[Maybe it's a trap.]

“It's not a trap. ”

Heju warns, and the guard says it first, as if he had read it. Seong-min hesitated for a moment and entered the door.

Inside the door was a middle-aged woman dressed in adornment. She bowed her head to Lee Sung-min.

“I am the beneficiary in charge of the chancellor of this mansion. This way, please.”

The Counselor raises her head. It was clear that he had mastered the art of skilllessness, but it was not to the extent that he felt that he was great. Lee Sung-min crossed the mansion and the garden following the previous benefits.

“He's in the backyard garden. If it's such a good day, you'll be right outside. ”

The eunuch said with a smile. Behind the mansion was a fairly large man-made pond, and on top of the pond was an octagon that connected to the bridge.

“The station chief is over there. ”

The Counselor stops walking. Lee slowly approached the pond. I see a man sitting inside an octagon. He glances at Lee Sung-min who stopped in front of the bridge.

“Come this way. ”

The middle-aged man looked about the same age as the beneficiary. I was not at the peak of my youth, but I was a complete master. Lee Seong-min slowly crossed the bridge.

“Did you know I was coming here? ”

“If there is an opening in the sect, there is a Hao Moon in Safa. Rumor has it that the noble spirit rescued the Little Horse from the iron scepter and went deep into the city to become one without leaving the city. ”

“Is that the answer to the question that you knew I was coming here? ”

“I just anticipated that I would, or wouldn't. By defeating the iron spear and getting the Small Horse, it means that we will be blind and pretend. Nevertheless, leaving the city... might be to ask for help. It's not much to look forward to. ”

The man said so, smiling low.

“Sorry I'm late. My name is Guangfu, and I'm the Station Chief for Rubes, Saddam. ”

The coroner rises up and takes possession.
