Possessing Nothing

[207] Sea (6)

What the hell.

Lee did not immediately understand what he was looking at.

Gum Dragon Nam Gong-hee-won.

What the hell is he doing here, a civil servant of the Southern Palace?

Lee saw us in the middle of the blank square.

The people in the square didn't care about the Namgongheewan.

In the middle of a crowded square, we were placed that big, and the Southern Palace Circle was sitting on a scaffold, and they didn't care at all as if it were a natural landscape.

“Well, there. ”

Lee Sung-min caught one of the people passing by the square. He blinked his eyes at the stopped Lee Sung-min.

“What is it?”

“That's...... What the hell is that? ”

Seongmin hesitated and pointed to the Namgongheewon by hand. Ah. In Sungmin's question, the man glanced at the Southern Palace within us.

“Is this your first time in Belador? ”

“Yes.”

“There he is, the man in the cage. Gum Dragon Nam Gong-hee-won, the tenant of Nam-gung-sega. ”

“Why is Sogaju of the Southern Palace there? ”

“My father, Nam-gungsage, disobeyed him. ”

“Yes?”

Lee Sung-min replied because it was ridiculous.

“I don't know the details. It seems that the Southern Hemisphere was very angry. Thanks to that, Sogaju has remained like that for more than three months. ”

I couldn't understand. What did he do to imprison him in this crowded square?

Furthermore, what I didn't understand was that Nam Gong-hee was accepting that.

That shackle.

Although it looks thick, you can cut it off and escape at any time if you like.

However, Nam-gyu Won is silent.

“Don't come any closer because you're curious. If I did, the Southern Imperial Court wouldn't stand there. ”

“I understand.”

Seongmin stood at a distance and looked at the Nam Gong-hee Won. At this distance, I can hear the sound of the war.

[Why are you doing that?]

Lee Sung-min sent a message to Namgongheewon.

Nam Gong-hee-won's shoulders twitched while twisting his diaphragm.

He raises his head, crouching. Between the messy head, the two eyes of Namgongheewan glowed. He looks around slowly.

[This way.]

Lee Sung-min once again sent a message, informing the members of Namgongheewon of his location.

I touched Lee Sung-min's eyes. Although the streets were quite far apart, Lee Sung-min clearly saw Nam Gong-hee's curious expression.

Who are you?]

[What did you do wrong to stay like that?]

Nam Guk-hee-won asked, and instead of answering the question, Sung-min asked what he thought he was curious about.

He looks at Nam-guiwon, who is far away.

[Who asked you that?]

[Someone who knows you.]

[Someone who knows me. Everywhere on this continent. The name Sworddragon Nam Gongheewon is quite famous.]

[I'm Lee Sung-min.]

Eventually, Seong-min sighed and said his name.

In saying that, the face of Hwang Hee Won Nam was stiff. I shouldn't have said that. I thought about it.

I don't even know how Nam Gong-hee-won is accepting the work of the Ghost, but I introduced myself for no reason, and then Nam-Geung-hee-won will have a seizure.

[I see.]

After a little silence, Nam-geum nodded his head. He looked at Lee Sung-min with a bitter expression.

[I have a question.]

[What?]

[Did you kill the Ghost and the Recruiter?]

I knew it. Namgongheewon asked for it.

Seong-min kept his mouth shut. Nam-gu Hee-won was waiting for Lee Sung-min's answer.

[I didn't kill him.]

I said it honestly.

[You didn't see it either. I didn't kill them. I let them go.]

[I know.]

The shoulders of the Namgongheewon shrugged. He knew that Lee was going to answer like that in the first place.

[I thought so. It's just a strange rumor. You didn't kill the drafter...... or the mourner. Yeah, because that's who I know you are. But everybody said, You killed them both.]

[I didn't kill him.]

[Then this is a conspiracy. Someone... yeah, maybe someone with a high chance of being a blind Black Dog. The Black Dog killed the Ghost and the Recruiter in the Forest of Temptation. And he blamed it on you.]

[Maybe so.]

[You're being framed because you're blind. Haha! I knew it! I was right.]

Hwang Hee Won raised his hand and grabbed the bald head.

Lee Sung-min looked bitterly and saw such a Namgongheewan. I didn't think I'd be able to meet Nam Gong-hee-won like this here.

Sung-min once again asked.

[Why are you stuck like that?]

[He told me to go kill you.]

Namgongheewon replied.

[At that time, I was also in the Forest of Temptation. Two of the royal family members died in that forest. Because of that, Sega's dignity has fallen, and our Lord...... is very concerned about that dignity. So he said to me, Kill the earring and come back.]

So?

[I refused. I didn't believe you killed the Ghost and the Recruiter. This is a conspiracy. You said killing them was another force. But, you know, it's a different kind of force. They were blind black dogs who preached their deaths. In the end, I doubted blindness in front of my father, the honorable Southern Imperial Palace.]

He lowered his hand, which grabbed his head. The light in Nam Gong-hee-won is giving off a harsh glow.

[My father was angry at me for saying that. I knew it. My father, the Southern Imperial Court, had a close relationship with the Muslims. I used to talk about building a new organization called the Orthodox Society using Sega's power, but that was too long ago. It's been 30 years since my father gave birth to me. He was young...... But he's too old now. He was furious that I doubted the blind and accused him of being wrong. This is what I look like now.]

[If you choose, you can escape at any time.]

Seong-min asked again. He did not answer.

[Why are you doing that? The internal air seems to be intact, and I'm not uncomfortable.]

[Because I wasn't sure.]

Namgongheewon chuckled.

[I wonder if I'm right, if he's right. I wasn't sure. It was uncomfortable being stuck here, but it wasn't that bad. It's the most uncomfortable thing to do, is to know where to pee.]

Namgongheewon slowly got up.

[You. Did you come to know that I'm trapped here?]

[…… coincidence.]

Even though he replied like that, he was not disappointed.

It doesn't matter if it's a coincidence. I was convinced by your presence here.]

Maybe I'm lying.]

[So, are you lying?]

[No.]

[Then why did you say that in the first place?]

Namgongheewon grumbled and approached the front of the iron shaft. He raises his hands to grip the iron bars.

[I'm thinking of getting out of here.]

[And then?]

[I admired my father. But I don't know right now. My father chose to take the side of the blind rather than believe me. And he locked me in here to establish his authority. Maybe my actions offended my father and Sega, but I don't know. I don't want to worry about that anymore.]

Lee Seong-min stood tall and saw the face of Nam Gong-hee-won. Nam-geung-hui, who was touching the iron bars, laughed out loud.

[If I get out of here, the Southern Palace and my father will come for me. I will root them out and leave this city. I'm thinking of going to the Muslim blind and asking for the truth.]

[Do you think they will listen?]

[I don't know about that. Maybe the blind, like they did to you, can blame me for some crazy crimes. Then so be it. That way I'll know for sure it's not right.]

Lee was silent for a moment. Queek...... The iron bars held by Nam Gong-hee are starting to twist.

Those who passed the square stopped walking in shock. They opened their mouths to see the iron bars that were going on and the Namgongheewon that was coming out of them.

[I'm going to meet the tetrarch.]

Lee Sung-min spoke to Nam-guiwon. The steps of Nam Gong-hee-won, who had made it out of the bars, stopped. He looked at Lee Sung-min, surprised.

A thousand emperor?]

[Yes.]

[Why him?]

[The Muslim blindness has defined me as a person, and I will continue to fight the Muslim blindness. I think it's too much for me, so I'm going to borrow the power of privatism. And the owners are doing me a favor.]

[…… that's amazing. If he's a master, he's a mysterious man...]

Would you like to come with us?]

Lee Sung-min asked. At that point, Nam Gong-hee-won's face stopped frozen.

He hesitates for a moment, shaking his head and answering.

[…… No. I don't think blindness is right, but that doesn't make me right about private owners and private owners. Of course, I've never met the tetrarch, so I don't know what he looks like. It's not that I don't know the evil deeds of Safa Gates and the Demons who put their name on it.]

[Yes, sir.]

Sungmin nodded his head in response to Nam Guk-hee-won's answer.

I made a recommendation, but honestly didn't expect it. Even though Namgongheewon was disappointed in the practice of Muslim blindness, Namgongheewon was born and raised in a sect famous tax family.

It is impossible for him to enter the company with Lee Sung-min.

[Yes, sir.]

Lee Sung-min raised his hand and touched his face. Not his face, but the face of an inflatable sphere he's been accustomed to for two months.

[Unless there's a lot of movement. Leave this city now.]

Lee Sung-min smiled as he sent a message to Nam Gong-hee. At Lee's feet, the purple air floated.

[What…… are you trying to do?]

[To buy you time.]

[What……?]

[Even if you say that. Isn't it awkward for you to fight the Southern Imperial Guard and Sega's Unsullied?]

[Why are you...?]

[But I used to call you sir.]

Lee said that and looked around. You hear horses rushing in from afar.

The Southern Hemisphere's unarmed men are coming this way, who have heard that Nam Gong-hee-won has escaped from us.

[And because you trusted me without doubting me. That's all.]

[But…….]

[Don't worry.]

Seong-min smiled and said.

[Nor the Southern Imperial Guard, nor any of Sega's Unsullied. I won't kill you.]

Huff.

Lee Sung-min breathed inner air into the window.

A purple flame envelops the entire window. Looking at it, he swallowed a gulp.

Even when I saw it in the Forest of Temptation...... Lee Sung-min's status was much higher than that of the Namgongheewan.

It's only been a few months since then. In the meantime, Lee Sung-min had reached an unimaginable position.

‘That's enough...... Even if my father comes at me personally, it won't be easy...... ’

King of the Celestial Sword, the household owner of the Southern Palace. Used to be called a Great UAV, and is still one of the most skilled UAVs in the world with a sword.

However, such an archswordsman was only nearly as good as the current Palace of Nam-Ghur.

[Go.]

Seong-min said to Nam-guiwon again. He hesitated and fled.

Seongmin simultaneously felt the orientation of Nam Gong-hee-won leaving the square and the orientation of the three coming this way.

[You buy bothersome work.]

“I know. ”

When Heju grumbled, Lee Sung-min smiled and replied.
