The Live

146.

On the other hand, Arhan is still doing nothing.

Everything that was important to the Clan was behind us. Most of the work takes place with the clan's executives, the walkers Elvin and Lois.

“It's been a while. ”

Urban aspirations.

It was the developing metropolis and the second largest city after Trump.

Arhan finds hope alone. He looks around the city and turns his feet in a familiar direction.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

It was a large clan house, about ten stories tall, about an hour's walk from where I arrived.

Those who were standing at the entrance of Clan House found Arhan approaching and asked:

“Who are you? If you have business with us first... ”

“I'm here to see Genji. ”

“Gen... right? ”

“He's an old friend, and he just called me. ”

Arhan says so, and pulls a letter out of his arms.

At the bottom of the letter was Genji's first and last name.

Fukushi Genji.

He was a master of the Genger Clan.

The bodies of those who checked the name were stiff.

“Ho, may I ask your name? ”

“I'm Arhan. ”

I didn't need to reveal my identity.

The golden hair and beard, and the golden eyes that match the hair.

The golden harp, Arhan.

There may not be many people who don't know that name.

“Excuse me! I'll take you right inside! ”

“Don't be so stiff. Make yourself comfortable. Make yourself comfortable. ”

Arhan taps the shoulders of those who shout with his feet together.

He then took a natural step inside the clan house of the Genger Clan.

‘It's been a long time. ’

Genger Clan.

It was known as one of the five Great Clans along with the Skyscrapers and the White Tower Clans.

It was also a place where Fukusi Genji, an old friend of his and the same first-generation friend, lived in a clan.

It was like Arhan or Gengina that stopped moving for a long time and stayed in the same boat.

‘I don't know what else I contacted you about.... ’

With guidance from the Genger Clan members, Arhan touches the letter in his hand.

The letter had something important to say, so it briefly asked you to visit your clan. I had a rough idea of what it would be like to say something important.

‘Tales related to the key. ’

It was the only thing that mattered at this point.

‘If not……. ’

Arhan takes a step back, clearing out his complicated head.

The leader led Arhan to the top floor of Clan House.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you.”

“Have a good time, then. ”

Ahan slammed the door twice as high as his height, looking down at the back of the person who was leaning away from his seat.

Knock-knock.

“Come in.”

It's been a long time since I heard your voice.

Moss gains -

Even without touching the door, the door opens from the inside. Arhan steps into a large office.

It's not as big as its burial chamber, but it's about half as wide as it looks. However, books were piled up all over the place, not organized.

“You must still be dizzy. ”

“It looks better than it looks so clean. I can smell people. ”

A short-haired, black-haired man sitting with his legs on his desk.

Touchy voice and tone. A young look that looks about the beginning of the 20s.

He was a first-generation correspondent like Arhan, Fukusi Genji.

“It's been a while."

“I know. ”

Genji sets his foot on his desk and approaches Arhan.

Arhan shakes his hand. The smiling Genji, likewise, points to a dirty table and couch, filled with books.

“Don't just stand there. Sit down. Anything to drink?”

“Beer. Refreshing, please. ”

“Still tastes good. ”

Genji guides Arhan first, then instructs the Clan members outside to bring the beer. Arhan narrows his eyes, gazing at such a genji.

“Huh?"

Genji, sitting across from Arhan, looks at his face and asks.

“What? Why are your eyes open like that? ”

“It's nothing. ”

“It's nothing. Tell me.”

“Never mind. Just give me a drink. ”

That's what Arhan said. He took the bottle from Genji.

Then he opened the bottle cap by himself and took it to his mouth.

Gulp -

“Are you drinking alone? ”

“Today is a bit……. ”

Arhan takes his mouth off the bottle and replies.

“I want to. ”

Drink alone.

Genji has never seen Arhan like this before. He was always his drinking buddy.

“What's going on? ”

“And you are? ”

There is no answer to Arhan's question. He looks at Arhan's face for a moment to see what his intentions were.

There was a subtle static between the two of them.

Arhan takes a sip of wine without saying a word, and Genji places an unopened bottle on the table.

Soon, Arhan opens his mouth when he's almost empty.

“Luckily, you're not on drugs. ”

“…… What are you talking about? ”

“Let's stop acting. I'm not so oblivious. ”

Arhan points to a book rolling around on one side of the floor with his jaw.

“That book. Grand Wizard Abram, is it related to his past crimes? ”

“ ……. ”

“You got your hands dirty. It's an old book, so he must have been desperate. The title and subtitle of the book are all on the cover. ”

“Is there a problem? ”

“Why did you research Abram? ”

“That's it. There was a big commotion in Mellon a while ago. So I did some digging. ”

“In the yard after all? ”

“Why? Why not? ”

The voice is legitimate. The attitude is that there's nothing to hold back about.

Yeah, it is.

I could have done that.

Abram's commotion in Mellon was formerly difficult to find and curious to investigate his past.

As much as I like his own books, it's not surprising that Genji even looked at the books related to him.

But…….

“Friend.”

Arhan smiles bitterly and says:

“If you really wanted to deceive me... you shouldn't have shaken my hand when you met me earlier. ”

“ ……. ”

At Arhan's words, Genji closes his eyes.

Until just now, my happy expression disappeared, and I became expressionless. Soon, he opened his eyes and said.

“It's just been a long time since I've had a chance to feel like old times... It's been hard. ”

“Glad to see you're here. ”

“But ‘once’ was a friend. It's old, and I wanted to talk to you for a minute. ”

“Old school.... ”

Arhan shakes his head.

“I'm sorry, I didn't really like you back in the day. ”

“... Really? ”

Genji got up from his seat and said,

“Well, I wouldn't be sorry if I killed you. ”

Zec, Zec...

I felt a lot of popularity outside the door.

At the same time, I felt like they had a shitty life in their minds.

“You could have killed me yourself... but you never know, do you?" It's not like the Golden Ladle has vanished. ”

The outward movements were unusual.

Arhan looks the same.

‘Were they all... on the same side?' ’

Genger Clan.

A clan that belonged to the Murder Clan, and Turner, the Devil himself.

At first, I thought Turner had infiltrated the Genger clan. But it wasn't.

The entire Genger clan was in league with demons like the Murder Clan.

“You fought with the muggers? ”

“You mean Turner? I didn't know him. Emily, she planted some spies in our clan. I guess I wasn't as gross as I thought. ”

Was it information from the Genger Clan, not the Five? ’

It was an unexpected story. He also learned that the Genger Clan and the Murder Clan have long been connected.

‘That's how long ago the demons started playing tricks on this side. ’

The devil's tree.

No matter how fast it grew, it could not grow in a year or two. At least five years ago, they would have taken the seed of the devil and planted it, raised it, and cultivated it.

“Since when?”

“What?”

“Fighting the Devil. ”

With Arhan's words, Genji looks a little surprised.

Even in this situation, Arhan was not embarrassed, but looking at the essence.

“Well…… has it been seven years? It took a long time for the devil to grow. ”

“Seven years... It's been too long. ”

Arhan's face is crumpled so badly.

I was furious that I had deceived myself for so long.

“I trusted you. ”

“I know. That's why you told me about the key. And you'd be stupid enough to come alone to my invitation. ”

“Why on earth……. ”

“Is that a question? ”

Arhan shuts up when Genji asks again.

Not really.

It was obvious. There was no way to win a war in the yard without keys.

“Too bad, too bad. I wish the key had appeared sooner in a decade. Right?"

“Are you trying to kill me? ”

“Of course, of course. Why else would he have called you? ”

“Are they... starting to move? ”

“Almost there. Oh, don't worry about the key. I know Kim Jin-seok is guarding it, but Emily must have gone that way. He's probably dead by now from a hole in his stomach. ”

Arhan's eyes falter. The moment he shows the first shivering look, Genji smiles small.

“Now I'm surprised. ”

“I don't think it's going to be good enough to buy us more time. ”

“Buy you some time? ”

“But I wanted to tell you a long story about why you changed so much.... ”

Arhan shakes his head and speaks.

“I can't help it if the key is dangerous. ”

“If I can't help it, what are you going to do.... ”

Genji shakes his head and looks at the door.

I felt an unexpected posture. Soon, two groups with different hostilities began to fight.

“You're not alone? ”

“Just in case, I'm glad you brought him. ”

Arhan, like Genji, turned his gaze to the door.

“Well, he followed me instead of bringing me. ”

Gurgle-

“So what's the problem? ”

Elvin spills blood from his blade and opens the door. After that, Royse turns around and helps the others who are fighting outside the door.

“No.”

Arhan smiles and replies.

“Thank you.”

* * *

About a month ago.

Yun Jae came to Elvin and Royce with Kim Jin-seok. You said you had something urgent to say.

The story of Yoon Jae who came with Kim Jin-seok was shocking.

Even though I heard it right next to him, Elvin couldn't understand it for a moment.

“So... you're saying Fukusi Genji has something to do with the Murder Clan? And the demons?"

Elvin summarizes Yun Jae's story and asks.

It was such a unrealistic story.

“That's right. Didn't you say Elvin? There are a lot of suspicious people in the Jinger clan. ”

“Yes, but…. ”

Fukushi Genji.

Master of the Genger Clan, a first-generation member such as Arhan and Kim Jin-seok.

It was about such a giant. Kim Jin-seok immediately appeared uncomfortable somewhere.

‘The surviving first-generation was five to Murderer Clan's Master Emily. There's nothing more intimate between them than Emily. ’

Among the first generation, there were more than just friendship.

Yoon Jae could not have known that.

Even though Kim Jin-seok had lived without a relationship with any of them right away, he had remained friendly with the first generation people like Arhan or Hundred Thousand.

It had to be as sensitive as that.

‘But I brought it up.... ’

I was convinced.

I don't know what part I was convinced of. But there wasn't much room for doubt.

‘Obviously, the Genger Clan is strange somewhere. ’

Elvin has also recently begun to be interested in the Jinger Clan.

At first, I started investigating just because it was related to Turner. But the more I uncovered the past, the more my relationship with the Murder Clan rose to the surface.

Above all, there was something else that felt strange.

“Abram……. ”

Elvin squints and opens his mouth.

“I heard you were looking for Abram in the Gengher Clan. ”

“Abram is……. ”

“The Grand Wizard who wreaked havoc in Mellon. It was a tragic death of tens of thousands. ”

Walker Elvin looks at Yoon Jae and his horse.

“If it weren't for these guys, there'd be millions of people dead, not tens of thousands. ”

Of all the strange activities of the Genger Clan, the walker Elvin was most concerned about.

Of course, that alone did not raise any doubt about the entire Genji Genji Genji Genji, or the clan master.

I was just trying to find out who was looking for that information.

But…….

"If he's telling the truth, he should be suspicious of the entire Jinger clan. ’

My head gets complicated. I can't figure out what to do.

What if the entire Genger clan is connected to the Murder Clan or the Devil?

“If, just in case... …. ”

Yoon Jae who was quiet opened his mouth carefully to give people time to think.

“When the Jinger Clan master calls for Arhan separately, be sure to be prepared. ”

“Ready?"

“You might be able to fight the entire Genger clan there. ”

“You mean killing clans in the Jinger Clan? Even if what you say is true, there's no reason for it to be true. ”

As Yun Jae said, even if the Genger Clan is related to the Devil, they have lived with that secret all these years.

And now you're willing to risk killing him?

It was inconclusive.

“There's nothing wrong with being careful, is there? ”

When Yoon Jae asks, Elvin thinks for a moment and nods.

“Yeah, it can't be that bad. ”

The death of Arhan.

That was not supposed to happen.

If not, Arhan will be invited by the Genger Clan in the suspect yard?

I shouldn't have let him go alone.

‘His personality will try to go it alone. ’

Elvin nods.

“Let's talk to the Clan Leader there. I was suspicious of the Jinger Clan, too. The clan leader will make sense, too. ”

“Thank you."

“Are we done here? ”

Kim Jin-seok, who was standing with an uncomfortable face the whole time, urged Yoon Jae.

“Then let's hurry back before daybreak. I can't wait any longer. ”

“Very well. I'll be going, then. ”

“Yes."

Yoon Jae quickly followed behind Kim Jin-seok, turning around and leaving the room. Like Elvin, Royse follows behind and meets him with a complex face.

‘I don't know how he suspected the Gentile Clan...' ’

Elvin was quite a believer in Yoon Jae's provocation.

‘One tentacle is a good one. ’

And...

Regardless, the tentacles fit wonderfully.

Chiang, Chiang -

Kwakwang-

Aaahhhh!

A spear slams in, a mixture of thunder and scream.

Elvin, the men of the Skyscraper clan leading Royce and the men of the Jinger clan are fighting in clumps.

At first, Arhan summoned Elvin when an invitation came from Genji.

- If it's true that he has something to do with the demons...... I'll send a signal.

- What kind of signal?

- Keep this.

Arhan says so, and hands Elvin a magic stone with a blue glow.

- This is...

- A magic stone embedded in the bodies of chimeras made by Abram. Modified it to create an item in the White Top Clan.

- Alarm item for signal?

- The amount of magical power inside is so small. That's how effective an item can be if it's made into one.

- Well, that shouldn't be too bad.

- If it's really you and the Genger clan, like you said, and they're connected to the Devil, I'll send a signal through it. If there's no signal, we don't have to move. But…….

Abram hesitates for a moment and says,

- If there's a signal, push it in.

“...... This is how it ends. ”

It was a group of people who thought it might be like this in the first place.

Each one of them is skilled enough to understand even the Skyscraper Clan. There was no shortage to clear the way and save Arhan.

Elvin looks at Arhan and Genji, facing each other.

I didn't want it to happen.

If possible, I hoped that Yoon Jae's touch was wrong this time.

Thinking about the future, the Genger Clan, one of the Five Clans, was an essential force for Humans.

But in the end, Yoon Jae's touch was perfect.

“Is that Walker Elvin? There were a lot of kids back then. ”

Genji said, making an impression on Elvin's appearance.

Elvin, who had never seen Genji before, asked as he seemed to know himself.

“Do you know me? ”

“Well, I've seen faces. I've heard rumors.He's the one who's watching. ”

“Friend?”

Arhan smiles and asks.

“That's funny. Friends?”

“Once.”

“You mean not now. ”

“Well, but... ”

Genji pointed at Elvin in his jaw and asked.

“What difference does it make? ”

It was a big city wish.

The realm of the Genger Clan. That is why those of the Genger Clan who live in Hope are not enough for Elvin and Lois.

Even though he's holding out now, he's still outnumbered.

“Even if we get in here somehow, this is the wish. That's you. I'll take care of it. What about the others? ”

Not all seeds were cultivated to the subordinates of the Genger clan.

But they will also take the side of the Jing Clan if there is a fight.

In the long run, it was impossible for Arhan to leave this place.

“You're dumber than I thought. ”

“What?"

“Don't you think they're here because I'm prepared for you? ”

With Arhan's question, Genji narrows his eyes.

If Arhan had suspected himself and the Jinger Clan, he wouldn't have stopped there.

“Did you bring all the people from the Skyscraper? ”

“It's better that way. ”

A familiar voice comes from behind Elvin.

Genji's gaze is in the direction of hearing his voice. And Genji's face hardened for the first time on the familiar face he found.

“A hundred thousand?”

A beautiful man with white hair tied up.

White skin as pale as her hair and clear blue eyes.

The White Tower Clan master, 100,000.

“I was hoping this would be a good place to spend a long time with friends. ”

A thousand swordsmiths.

He draws his sword and slowly walks in.

“Well, didn't you think it might happen someday? ”

Arhan.

He starts to put the white gloves from his arms into his hands.

Elvin sighs, gazing at those two and Genji.

‘It's not my place. ’

Three first-generation people.

Now, this was the place to organize the long-standing relationship and horror that had been between them.

They have no place to be, and they must not interfere. His role was different.

“Elvin! What are you doing here? ”

Just as Royce shouts.

Elvin turned his back on the three first-generation figures.

“Here we go, here we go. ”

What you need to do.

It was to keep the intruders out of their way.
