The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 205
◈ Episode 205. The immortal was startled (3)
Barche came to his senses.
However, even though he came to his senses, he did not move.
The point at which he came to his senses was when Zhong Li-quan was overwhelmingly suppressing Kim Joo-hyuk.
Tsk-!
Kim Joo-hyuk continues to attack even though he is being shown to be overwhelmingly defeated by Zhong Li-quan.
However, Jong Li-kwon blocks Kim Joo-hyuk’s desperate attack without any hesitation.
At that point, someone could have criticized Barce.
Barche, who immediately came to his senses, asked why he was just watching his comrade fight.
Of course, Barce could move right now.
Although he was attacked and lost consciousness for a moment, Barce did not suffer such fatal injuries that he was unable to control his body.
But why isn’t Barce moving right now?
‘You have to look for the gap.’
It was to take advantage of the gap.
The force shown by Zhong Liquan at present could be said to be overwhelming.
Because Kim Joo-hyuk, who is the strongest at this moment, was being toyed with by Jong Li-kwon without a care in the world.
‘If Kim Joo-hyuk is really on the verge of death, he will have no choice but to wake up.’
Barche, who knew that there was nothing better than a surprise attack to deal even the slightest effective blow to such a being, tried to wait for the right moment without making a hasty move.
After a while, Barce’s thoughts became useless.
‘…I can’t help it.’
The reason is because Kim Joo-hyuk completely lost in the fight against Zhong Li-quan.
Looking at Kim Joo-hyuk, who is on the ground and can no longer come to his senses, and Zhong Li-kwon looking at him, Barce has no choice but to gather his magic power and stand up – “Fuck you.
”
-I couldn’t.
Zhong Liquan is swearing mercilessly while looking at the red amulet.
Barche, who recalled that he was always smiling when fighting Kim Joo-hyuk, looked at Zhong Li-kwon with a questioning expression.
Soon, Zhong Li-quan looked at Kim Joo-hyuk on the spot, muttered something, and immediately placed a small bottle and a scrawled amulet in front of him.
“Labyrinth Lord, this bastard…”
He suddenly disappeared using an amulet, leaving behind the words.
A moment of silence after that.
In response, Barce quickly got up from his seat and dispersed his magical power to confirm that Zhong Liquan had disappeared. He quickly moved his body and headed to where Kim Joo-hyuk was.
“ah.”
The moment Barce reached Kim Joo-hyuk.
Zhong Liquan, who had not been seen a moment ago, appeared again, letting out a low exclamation.
“!”
Barche looks at Zhong Liquan with a very nervous expression.
At that moment, numerous thoughts flowed through his mind.
What situation is this?
Is there an attack coming?
Should I hit first?
Barce’s head spinning at high speed.
however.
Zhong Liquan was looking at Barce for a while.
Eat.
Soon he smiled and spoke.
“I thought there was no way that idiot could create such a masterpiece, but now that I look at it closely, I understand. Was it you too?”
“…?”
Barce had a blank expression on his face, as if he had not been able to focus on Zhong Liquan’s words for a moment.
However, Zhong Liquan smiled and spoke despite Barce’s blank expression.
“There’s no need to look so stupid. Because I roughly understood all the circumstances. There’s an estimate. “I wondered where I had been all this time, but was it somewhere like this?”
Zhong Liquan speaks as if he understood everything.
But Barce remained silent.
Of course.
‘What is this guy talking about?’
Because Barche was currently unable to keep up with Zhong Liquan’s conversation at all.
Since he couldn’t understand a single thing he was saying right now, Barce just stared at Zhong Liquan in silence.
Zhong Liquan, who was watching Barche’s reaction, looked sullen for a moment, but then shrugged his shoulders and spoke as if there was nothing he could do.
“Well, it’s the same as before and now that I’m cautious beyond the weight. “Then, since you seem very cautious, I won’t ask any more questions.”
What are you not asking?
To be honest, at this point, he seemed to know Barce’s past so clearly that he became curious, but he still couldn’t open his mouth.
Zhong Liquan continued speaking as if he was complaining, as if he had no regard for Barche’s intentions.
“No, but when you come down here, can’t you just give me a quick look and tell me about the situation? “Isn’t this too much?”
“….”
“You came out just to make a name for yourself and almost got yourself killed, right?”
“….”
He wanted to say, “I don’t know anything either,” but he immediately kept his mouth shut.
Because he couldn’t say anything at this point anyway.
How can you talk about something that only you know in the first place?
However, Zhong Liquan, perhaps aware of Barche’s feelings, waved his hand and spoke.
“Anyway, I won’t tell anyone, so don’t worry and tell me my story nicely.”
know? Zhong Liquan said while looking at Barce.
Barce ended up under that strange pressure.
Nod.
I could only nod very slightly.
Zhong Liquan smiled at him.
“good.”
Saying that, I used the talisman again.
While the talisman was being activated, Zhong Liquan smiled slightly as if he remembered something to say.
“Oh, and the smart guy above was chosen well.”
“?”
“Then I’ll leave a gift up there as well. “See you next time.”
After saying that, he disappeared.
And Barce was left alone like that.
“????”
For a while, I could only stand there blankly, as if I didn’t understand the situation.
####
A luxury hospital room located in Seocho-gu, Seoul.
“…You mean that guy disappeared when you gave him this?”
“okay.”
There, Kim Joo-hyuk listened to Barche’s words and lifted the small bottle in his hand.
It looks as if a huge gourd was carved into very small pieces.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been looking at it for a while, massaged his temples several times as if he had a headache and then spoke.
“What on earth is this?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question is difficult to understand at all.
To be honest, for Kim Joo-hyuk, the sounds he heard as soon as he came to his senses were extremely confusing.
“You beat us up and beat us all up like that, and then at the end you disappeared, leaving behind this bottle and this note?”
Kim Joo-hyuk said that and read the words written on the amulet.
[I didn’t recognize you. I will give you gifts and leave.]
Just one word.
The simple statement, which didn’t say what on earth he didn’t recognize, amplified Kim Joo-hyuk’s curiosity to the extreme, so Kim Joo-hyuk stared at the note for a while.
Barche, who was looking at that scene, spoke immediately.
“First of all, let me tell you one thing: Gongcheong Oil is definitely the elixir of elixirs.”
“…This little crab?”
“Yes, when I looked up my memories from when I was a mountain commander, it seemed like Gongcheong Oil was a very great elixir.”
“Why on earth are you giving that to me?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk said that, he thought of Zhong Li-quan.
Without even moving his body properly, he casually teased Kim Joo-hyuk with just a few pieces of paper.
In short, he is a powerhouse who easily surpasses Kim Joo-hyuk.
But why on earth did such a strong person come to kill him?
As the same questions as before were flooding into Kim Joo-hyuk’s mind, Barce, who had kept his mouth shut for a moment as if gathering his thoughts, spoke.
“If I were to guess roughly from the story, it seemed like he knew me and you.”
“You know me?”
“Yes, more precisely, it seemed like I knew you and me from the past, not from 300 years ago. That guy spoke as if he knew me. “Didn’t you tell me about your conversation with him earlier?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded to Barce’s question.
“You can’t remember anything and can’t follow the conversation, but you said you were just messing around by yourself?”
“…Well, that’s right. Based on that story, the man obviously didn’t notice, but he acted as if he knew us. “There-”
Barce spoke while looking at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Maybe you and I really had some connection in the past.”
“You and Me?”
“If you listen to the story, Zhong Liquan thought that I was planning something and said that you were also involved in it.”
Barce’s words.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was silent for a while, frowned mercilessly as if he was getting annoyed, but Barce shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“ah. “If you think about it.”
“Why again?”
“There are two things he said that I didn’t tell you.”
“What is that again?”
“One thing is that I was selected as a smart guy.”
“…?”
“As for the other thing, he said he would leave a gift above.”
“…gift?”
Kim Joo-hyuk had doubts about Barce’s words.
####
“I was fooled by the prank.”
Changju frowned as he looked at the watchman in front of him, no, Zhong Liquan.
The reason was that Changju returned to Bian as if he had taken care of all the work while he had not yet seen Bian due to the call of the Lord of the Labyrinth.
“….”
Changju does not respond to Zhong Liquan’s words.
His eyes were on Zhong Liquan, but he wanted to move towards Bian right now.
Because he wanted to see with his own eyes whether he was alive or dead right now.
And after confirming whether he was alive or dead –
Changju frowned and glared at Zhong Liquan, and he looked at him with amusement –
“As expected, I chose him well because he was a smart guy.”
-I said that soon.
“…?”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry. I finished my conversation with the guy below. “You don’t have to be so guarded.”
“?”
“You must have had a hard time working alone above that. It’s not easy to work alone. yes?”
“??”
“Huh, you and that guy are very careful, aren’t you? Do you think that idiot would bother to look in here? “From what I can see, it definitely doesn’t seem like it.”
“????”
Changju looks at Zhong Liquan with a confused expression, as if he can’t keep up with the situation.
However, Zhong Liquan smiled and placed his hand on Changju’s arm, regardless of what Changju said to him.
“ruler.”
“…?”
I put something in his hand.
“Maybe it will help me get things done.”
As Zhong Liquan said that, he immediately got off his seat and started walking towards the other side of Bian.
“After everything is done well, tell me your story. Understand?”
After saying that, Zhong Liquan immediately headed towards the portal provided on one side of Bian and moved to where the Lord of the Labyrinth was.
And Changju was left there.
“…??”
He tilted his head as he looked at the amulet given to him with an expression of complete incomprehension.
