The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 278
◈ Episode 278 New method (3)
Tak!
Zhong Li-quan, who saw that Kim Joo-hyuk disappeared as soon as the paper door through which he went through was closed, immediately turned to the guide and spoke.
“So what do you plan to do from now on?”
“From now on?”
“I’m talking about the story after bringing back the lotus from reincarnation. Anyway, isn’t it virtually certain that dwarves have the Lotus of Reincarnation? Otherwise, there would be no need to covet your body.”
The guide nodded in agreement with Zhong Liquan’s words.
“You’re right. “I also assumed that there might not be lotus flowers, but the dwarves would probably be holding them.”
“Then now you have to choose.”
“Are you talking about who to exclude?”
Zhong Liquan nodded at the guide’s words.
“It would be nice if we had more time, but isn’t that the situation right now?”
“Of course.”
Surely, as Zhong Liquan said, there was not much time left until the seal was released.
In fact, it would not be surprising at all if the seal were to be released in a month from now.
However, compared to such a tight time, even if Kim Joo-hyuk were to rescue the Lotus of Reincarnation, the number of people he could use was limited.
“As of now… if I’m lucky and destroy a lot of them, wouldn’t it be about two?”
“that’s right. “If it doesn’t flow as expected, we may only be able to destroy one.”
“…Shouldn’t we have moved a little faster after all?”
Zhong Liquan’s words.
But the guide shook his head resolutely.
“no. Even though I didn’t have enough time, I definitely should have gotten at least some rest. Otherwise, it would take even longer to retrieve the memories. There-”
The guide looked at Zhong Liquan.
“It was just one day anyway, right?”
“…Well, it doesn’t really matter unless the seals on all the other incarnations are released in one day.”
She looked at Zhong Liquan, who nodded in agreement with the guide’s words, and continued the story.
“Still, what you say makes sense. “Before awakening from the seal, I will have to think about who I will destroy first.”
She stared at the books she had organized so far and began to think for a while.

Sigh-!
Kim Joo-hyuk, who easily entered the dwarf’s enclosure using the ice sword, was soon able to discover a huge cave that appeared to be where the dwarfs lived.
“….”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the cave, which was wide enough for hundreds of people to pass through at once, then checked the structures built around it and walked inside.
As we walk into the cave, what we see is buildings built on both sides of the cave passage.
“oh.”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the buildings and let out a small exclamation.
Of course, the reason was not because the architecture was beautiful.
In the first place, I couldn’t tell for sure whether the buildings were as beautiful as they were when viewed from a dark place, and to be honest, if I were to compare them, the buildings at Mandala were more wonderful and beautiful than the buildings here.
Nevertheless, the reason why Kim Joo-hyuk let out a small exclamation.
This is because the buildings that the dwarves built inside the cave were built by digging into the walls inside the cave, rather than by importing separate materials.
‘It must have been made by digging a cave.’
Nevertheless, Kim Joo-hyuk went inside with a strange expression of admiration at the very elaborate building.
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to enter the huge cavern created inside the cave.
“It’s so big…”
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered unconsciously at the truly gigantic size of the cavity, then looked around and immediately took out a lotus petal from his arms.
Woo-Woong-
The lotus petal that Kim Joo-hyuk took out from his pocket was still pink and was making a humming sound, and he soon heard how to use the lotus flower from his previous guide.
Swish.
Without hesitation, I threw up the lotus flower in my hand.
Lightly.
As soon as you throw the lotus upward, the lotus flower begins to fall gently.
However, rather than falling completely to the ground, the lotus flower began to flutter and move somewhere.
Even though there is no wind at all because it is inside a cave, the lotus flowers flutter as if blown by the wind.
Kim Joo-hyuk started walking after the lotus flower.
Soon after, Kim Joo-hyuk confirmed that the lotus flower was entering the huge building built on one side of the cavity, and walked inside with the lotus petal.
How much time has passed like that?
“…is this place?”
After going deep into the building, Kim Joo-hyuk watched a lotus petal land on a box, muttered, and walked towards the box.
“….”
The box with the lotus petals on it was nothing particularly special.
It’s just a box made of wood with a rather unusual-looking lock on it.
Therefore, after checking the material of the wood, Kim Joo-hyuk pulled out his village sword and swung it without hesitation.
Kang!
“…?”
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at his protruding sword with a puzzled expression and then looked at the lock.
A lock without any scratches.
Kim Joo-hyuk felt something strange and swung his sword once again.
Wow!
The village sword still could not cut the lock, and Kim Joo-hyuk felt doubtful, so this time he swung the sword at the box itself.
Wow!
Just like the lock, Kim Joo-hyuk’s sword bounced off.
“What?”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had a puzzled expression on his face, immediately touched the box, but the material of the box was clearly wood.
Still, he was unable to cut it with his sword, so he swung his sword at the box a few more times and soon realized that the box had some kind of defense mechanism.
It’s a sealing device so strong that it can’t be broken through by one’s own attacks.
‘…Can I swing it with an ice sword?’
At that moment, Kim Joo-hyuk had a momentary thought and immediately took out his ice sword and struck it down.
Wow!
Unlike when piercing the seal of a seal, the attack of the Bingsin Sword is blocked so futilely.
Kim Joo-hyuk began to look around the room to see if there was a key nearby, but as expected, there was no key in the room.
‘…First of all, I know that there is a lotus flower in this certificate, so should I take the whole box?’
Kim Joo-hyuk begins to think seriously.
However, not long after he started thinking about it, Kim Joo-hyuk suddenly turned his gaze and looked at Bingshingeom.
“hey.”
[Why?]
Bingshingeom answers Kim Joo-hyuk’s question as if he had been waiting.
“Do you know how to open this?”
[Of course I know.]
“Really?”
[There’s no reason for me to lie, right?]
Bingshingeom said that and added another word before Kim Joo-hyuk even opened his mouth.
[instead. know? Contract fee.]
“…Okay.”
At Bingshingeom’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk let out a strange sigh and nodded.

Barce… No, now he is called Baekho, and in fact he has achieved everything he wanted right away.
First of all, by getting a name for the first time, he regained all the memories he had ever wanted.
After regaining his name and memories for the second time, he immediately regained his powers.
Yes, he definitely found everything he wanted when he was ‘Barce’.
entire.
‘But…’
Why am I not this happy? Barce thought without realizing it.
Actually, for him, the current situation was not that bad.
Not only was it not a bad thing that he found his name and power right away, but the Phoenix and Suzaku that followed him were clearly superior in terms of military power.
Suzaku was one of the Four Divine Beasts like himself, and Phoenix was a divine beast that, although not as good as him, certainly possessed abilities comparable to his.
In addition, looking at the simple facts, the fact that those two women liked him was a situation that other men would be very envious of.
Aren’t they both pretty?
Men can’t help but envy this situation.
okay.
I’m sure it would be so.
‘Why… why am I not this happy?’
And that’s what Baekho thought.
“…after.”
Baekho looked at the sky with a blank expression.
What you see is a very clear sky.
When I immediately looked down, what I saw were two women looking at each other with smiles on their lips.
They are Suzaku and Phoenix.
I didn’t know it before finding the memories, but after finding them, Baekho clearly remembered the relationship between the two.
One is a former fiance who broke off their engagement.
One was my younger brother who I was very close with.
“Does this bitch really… want to have all her hair pulled out?”
“Oh my, look at the harsh way you speak. Are you telling me to stop? “Why are you speaking so harshly?”
“Isn’t it because you’re making a mess of it right now?”
“Still, you listen well~”
“…Do you really want to die?”
“Are you trying to kill me? Oh, by the way, didn’t you hear me earlier? I think I said not to put any effort into it here, but you can if you want to. After all, you’ve been behaving as you please since long ago, right?”
“hey!!!!”
It is said that life is a comedy when seen from afar and a tragedy when seen up close.
Baekho thought that was a truly mysterious sentence.
What may be a very serious problem to some is just a comedy to others watching from afar.
Because the subject of the object is not you.
No matter how serious the problem is, there is no need to worry.
Of course, this did not mean that he had enjoyed such comedy during Barce, when he still did not remember anything about it.
Anyway, he wasn’t the perfect third person.
That meant that he was somewhat involved in this relationship.
Now that he had found his name and entered this relationship perfectly, he was participating in a tragedy.
“hey! Say something! “This pudgy guy keeps picking fights with me!”
Did you say that when you get too angry, you cry?
Now, Suzaku is screaming with tears secretly forming in his eyes.
“What do you think I was arguing about? “I didn’t do anything in the first place?”
The phoenix looked at Suzaku and shrugged his shoulders, raising both arms as if he had done nothing wrong.
“You did it!!!!”
“I’m just listing the things my manager told me not to do earlier, right? “I don’t know why you’re so angry~”
“Aaaaaah!!!! Are you going to leave it like this!? And who is yours!? uh!?”
“You’re leaving me like this? Anyway, I guess I told you earlier that I’m just repeating what you said, right? And can I call you Lim? “Isn’t this just a title I decided on?”
“hey! “Please do something about him!!!”
Suzaku points at the phoenix and talks while looking at the white tiger.
“I didn’t do anything wrong, but you think that too, right?”
At the same time, the phoenix looks at the white tiger and smiles cleanly.
Looking at those two.
‘I really looked for the name for nothing…’
Baekho was feeling this terrible tragedy that had come upon him.
