The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 244
◈ Episode 244 How do you know this? (1)
If I had to describe the image of the office in Labyrinth 4 in one word, it was an old-fashioned royal palace.
The office of Lord Labyrinth is decorated so splendidly that it feels like a royal palace.
Among them, the place where the ghost spirit always sat was decorated like a dragon statue, showing authority.
“…OMG…!”
Now, he was sitting on the dragon podium, looking at his blooming ability that had completely disappeared.
‘The backflow of magical energy must have stopped…!’
The first thing he did after running away from Kim Joo-hyuk was to calm the backflow of magical energy.
However, despite somehow calming down the backflow of magic power.
“Save me
!
Even when the ghost spirit tried to talk to the monster, the monster just curled up, trembled, and mumbled, but did not respond in any way.
At that, the ghost spirit felt his fear of Kim Joo-hyuk growing rapidly.
‘What on earth was in there?’
Shim Goe-ryeong thought of Kim Joo-hyuk.
On the outside, he didn’t seem very mentally strong.
Of course, he was fully aware that judging people by their appearances was very foolish, but no matter how much he thought about it, this was too strange.
‘That guy is probably just a Labyrinth Lord who came up from the Labyrinth…!’
While thinking like that, Shim Goe-ryeong suddenly remembered a rumor.
There are rumors that the person who came up from the labyrinth this time has some connection to Zhong Liquan, who can be said to be the leader of the Watchmen.
‘Could it be… that was real?’
The ghost spirit smiled without realizing it.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t think that there was any relationship between the Labyrinth Min coming up from the Labyrinth and Zhong Liquan.
so that.
“help me. please please!! Help me…!!”
Shim Goe-ryeong had no choice but to continue thinking about Kim Joo-hyuk for a while as he looked at Mong-gwi, whose mind was completely shattered.
####
“The conclusion is that Labyrinth Master No. 4 tried to harass me and take the Labyrinth.”
“you’re right.”
In response to Cheongjong’s answer, Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to think for a moment and stroked his chin once or twice to organize his thoughts.
‘He tried to kill me and eat the labyrinth.’
In fact, even Kim Joo-hyuk had guessed it up to that point.
Basically, people move because of enemies or interests, but there was no enmity at all between Shim Goe-ryeong and Kim Joo-hyuk.
However, what he was actually curious about was something other than ‘Why did Labyrinth Lord attack him?’, which he had already guessed internally, so Kim Joo-hyuk continued the story.
“hey.”
“Yes…”
Cheongjong now answers with a very haggard expression.
“Is Labyrinth Pillar No. 4 a bit strong?”
“…Are you talking about our Labyrinth Lord?”
“okay.”
Kim Joo-hyuk answered like that and recalled the previous situation.
The ghost spirit, who was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk with a very confident expression at first, suddenly started vomiting blood on his own, then looked at himself with a shocked expression and ran away.
Yes, even before Kim Joo-hyuk did anything.
Thanks to that, Kim Joo-hyuk was so dazed that he let Labyrinth Joo run away without even thinking about catching her properly.
It never occurred to me that Kim Joo-hyuk would be strong thanks to the spirit of the mind that disappeared while making such a ridiculous show in front of him.
“Our Labyrinth Lord is strong.”
“…really?”
“As far as physical ability is concerned, he is not that strong, but his flowering ability is definitely stronger than that of other Labyrinth Lords.”
“…ability?”
Cheongjong momentarily flinches at Kim Joo-hyuk’s question and rolls his eyes.
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke lightly.
“Why are you blowing everything and rolling your eyes now? “Whether you use your master’s abilities or not, you are already a traitor there?”
“Traitor….”
“So, if we just talk comfortably and talk comfortably, our debt relationship will end here? There-”
Kim Joo-hyuk continued talking.
“He abandoned you too? “I wonder if you would have said that to me if I had come to save you in the first place?”
Kim Joo-hyuk, before hearing the story earlier, told the story by adapting the story he had with the ghost spirit to persuade him a little more.
…There was a bit of dramatization, but thanks to the story, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to hear about the abilities that the 4th Labyrinth Lord possesses.
“…The flowering ability is that kid?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“…that’s interesting.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded once or twice, remembering the kid who had turned blue looking at him earlier.
‘Then now I have to make a decision.’
Kim Joo-hyuk began to worry.
Naturally, the content of the worry is about the 4th Labyrinth Pillar.
‘…It’s annoying, but should I deal with it?’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought, recalling the number 4 labyrinth owner who ran away from him earlier.
In the first place, he never left behind those who were hostile to him.
The reason is, of course, because there is no reason for Kim Joo-hyuk to benefit much from keeping those who are hostile towards him alive for a long time.
But unfortunately, Kim Joo-hyuk now has to keep moving to find a name for himself.
He had already heard that Zhong Liquan and Bulsal had told them to quickly find some strength.
‘…Now that I think about it, I heard that it would be good to make some friends.’
Kim Joo-hyuk slowly turned his gaze to look at his students.
The disciples were quietly looking at themselves, wondering if they would say anything.
‘…Should we also think about ways to raise disciples?’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought that way while looking at his students, and immediately recalled the memory that followed.
‘Now that I think about it, I should also go to a place called Goesan.’
I heard from Jong Li-kwon that he had a disciple in Goesan.
‘If you list it like this, there’s a lot to do.’
Kim Joo-hyuk, who soon summarized his to-do list, realized that there were quite a lot of things he had to do other than finding names, and frowned as if he had a headache.
After some time, Kim Joo-hyuk thought about it and asked Cheongjong a question.
“hey.”
“yes…?”
“Do you know anything about Kalpa?”
“…You mean Kalpa?”
“Yes, Kalpa.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
However, Cheongjong seemed to notice and quickly shook his head.
“About Kalpa… I don’t know.”
“You really don’t know?”
“I really don’t know…! “I’ve never heard of a place like that before!”
Kim Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue and thought as Cheongjong opened his mouth as if he was a little bit offended.
‘Well, for some reason, I thought it was unlikely that this guy would know.’
When Kim Joo-hyuk looks at Cheongjong and makes a sound of regret, Cheongjong looks at Kim Joo-hyuk as if he is a little uneasy.
How long has it been like that?
Ugh-!
“?”
“!”
Kim Joo-hyuk made a surprised expression as he suddenly saw a round portal forming on his right side and simultaneously grabbed his sword.
The same goes for other disciples.
The disciples raised their respective weapons and looked at the portal.
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned and thought.
‘Is this the ghost spirit?’
No, it was better to be him. If the guys that Zhong Liquan or Bulsai mentioned were attacking now, the situation could be said to be even worse.
Thinking of that, Kim Joo-hyuk gripped the handle of his sword more tightly.
“uh?”
In the portal that opened like that, someone unexpected to Kim Joo-hyuk came out and made that sound without even realizing it.
and.
“long time no see.”
He was the one who made Kim Joo-hyuk make such an awkward sound.
“You said we’d see it in real life next time, right?”
The guide came out of the portal, looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, and smiled.
####
Although Kim Joo-hyuk was momentarily taken aback by the sudden appearance of the guide, he soon talked to her and was able to hear how she escaped.
“You just gathered your magic power and escaped?”
“yes. Didn’t I tell you earlier? “It’s not that great of a story.”
“Didn’t you say last time that the place you were was a little dangerous?”
“That’s right, to be honest, you have to be careful when gathering magic power, but thanks to your appearance, it seems like all the eyes that were chasing me have turned to you.”
“ah.”
Kim Joo-hyuk let out an exclamation.
“Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to gather my magic power and escape with some ease. “Thanks to that, I used up all my magic power.”
“Well, anyway, it’s good that we escaped quickly.”
“that’s right. “It’s much easier to help you this way… But.”
“why?”
Kim Joo-hyuk tilts his head when the guide suddenly speaks a little longer.
“Do your students… seem to like you?”
When the guide opened his mouth with a slightly shocked expression, Kim Joo-hyuk immediately turned his gaze back.
What you see is a beak mask with a slight smile on his lips and the ruler behind it.
“What about the other kids?”
“Jukchang, Jilal, and Dugui were sent to watch over Cheongjong.”
“Even though it looks like it, it took quite a bit of force to subdue it.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who listened to the words of the ruler behind the mask and behind the mask, turned his attention to the guide again, and immediately opened his mouth.
“Well, we get along pretty well.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, the guide broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the disciples standing behind him.
Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head and looked back again, but all he could see was the beak mask and the lightly smiling face of the ruler behind it.
Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head and looked at the guide as if he didn’t understand, and she shook her head left and right as if she was a little dumbfounded.
“…You are exactly the same even down to that point.”
“What’s the same?”
Kim Joo-hyuk asks again.
“No, no. “I’ll try to find the name later and remember it myself.”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide spoke like that, then cleared his throat as if checking his voice and then opened his mouth.
“Now then, continuing the story from before… didn’t you say there was something you wanted to ask earlier?”
“that’s right.”
Kim Joo-hyuk immediately nodded and spoke.
“Do you know about a place called Kalpa?”
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke like that and began to explain step by step to the guide how he came to know about Kalpa.
The guide nodded and spoke.
“You met a stranger.”
“That’s right, I also received this sword there.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk untied the white sword from his waist and showed it to the guide, she spoke.
“It’s an important item, so you’d better keep it safe.”
“okay?”
The guide nodded at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“And I know about Kalpa well.”
That’s what I said.
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled at that.
“The timing is perfect.”
I answered.
