Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 587
[Episode 587] The Little Princess of the North Sea Ice Palace.
“Uihyun is dead.”
An underground space in Hanam filled with the smell of dampness.
There, a man was kneeling down and giving a report to someone.
In front of a person with his head down.
An old man sits on a broken rock.
Hearing the report, the old man turned his gaze to the man.
“The corpse.”
“I couldn’t find it. It is judged to be certain in the circumstances.”
“I see.”
the child is dead
Hearing this, I feel bitterness in the eyes of the old man.
And that wasn’t the only problem.
“also.”
The man adds further.
“…It seems that the positions we deployed have been canceled.”
At the words he heard, the old man’s brow furrowed.
The truth has been lifted?
It was an interesting talk.
“The time.”
“It was less than an hour after the camp was deployed.”
“…Huh…”
It was the most startling thing the old man had heard in years.
Whose work is it really?
He wondered if it was Murim blind, but the old man knew that it couldn’t be.
The Murim Maeng still don’t have the ability to dismantle their jinbeop.
Naturally.
It is Murimmaeng who cut off the growth of Jinbeop and Sorcery with their own hands.
As long as they abandoned themselves, there would be no growth.
That’s why the old man rested his chin and thought.
‘One try.’
only one o’clock.
If it took the time it took to dismantle their camp, then they had to have a lot of knowledge.
So it is questionable.
There will be no one as good as they are in terms of formation under this wide midfield.
The old man looks away.
“Is it you?”
At the words of a question with a question, the person on the wall raises his head.
If there is, only the author.
When it comes to Jinbeop, he is as superior as medicine.
“faith.”
“…”
As the old man called out to him, the wrinkles of faith deepened.
“…it can’t be.”
“yes. You couldn’t have done that.”
The old man laughed at his sincere answer.
“At least if you have a conscience, you shouldn’t do that.”
“…”
“If it’s not you… who the hell… I don’t know.”
A question lingers in the old man’s eyes.
“I’m curious, so check it out.”
“…yes. lender.”
After giving the order, the kneeling man disappears.
So, only the two of them were left in the space.
Only then did Sinui open her mouth to the old man.
“Please stop talking.”
The old man who heard the words looked at Shinui.
“What do you mean?”
“Why did you call me here? I want you to tell me that.”
“Mmm.”
At the words of trust, the old man raises the corner of his mouth.
The reason I called…
“I wanted to see my blood relatives outside. How about saying that?”
“…”
Shinui responds with an expressionless expression to the old man’s words.
Because I knew it was nonsense.
Seeing this, the old man laughed.
“You are still desolate.”
“Tell me the main point.”
“Yeah… that’s how it should be.”
Took.
I go down to the rock where the old man was sitting and move to Shinui.
“How about living outside?”
“I’ll say it again, but to the point…”
“It’s a question of what it would be like to betray your family and live as a dog of a political faction.”
“…!”
At the old man’s words, Sinui’s face instantly distorted.
“house owner…!”
“God, do you have any excuses to spit out?”
many.
There are so many things to say, excuses, and excuses to make. God could not speak.
It was because it was no different from an excuse.
“Whatever life you led when you left us. The reason I didn’t care was simply because you were blood relatives. You know, don’t you?”
At the old man’s words, Shinui’s eyes sharpen.
“So now, what do you want from me?”
“If you’ve seen it for so many years, I think you know it now. That factions have no future.”
did not respond to the words.
It is a fact that God also knows.
Right now, the faction has no future.
At the same time as the swordsman withdrew, countless reforms were being repeated.
There was nothing that could be called right growth.
I just repeat the packaging as if the world is peaceful.
It was already rotting and rotting inside.
“So…”
Shinui, who recalled this, said to the old man.
“Are you saying that I should at least join the family lord’s miserable plan?”
“It’s miserable…”
The old man’s eyes grew cold after hearing the word of faith.
“What if it’s not a disastrous plan?”
Ignoring this, Shinui continued talking.
“I’m blinded by revenge, so I can’t even see an inch ahead. It’s not that the few remaining blood relatives are being sacrificed because of that…”
Kkak-!
The old man grabs the throat of the god who was spitting out the words.
“Kuk…!”
“Jegal’s cloth.”
Faith bites this hard.
It was a name I hadn’t heard in decades.
“Even if all my blood relatives curse at me, at least you shouldn’t do that.”
“Turn it off.”
“At least. really at least. That is not what you, who forgot Sega’s anger and ran away, would say.”
As he gradually stopped breathing, the old man threw away the faith he was holding.
thud-! God’s slender body tumbled to the ground.
“Turn off…”
“Yes, you have been like that since ancient times.”
The old man says while looking at his faith.
“Among blood relatives who lived in hiding while cooling off their anger because they could not forget the humiliation suffered by Maeng. I remember you being exceptionally calm.”
It is a story of the distant past.
A story from the old days that even those who remember now have few left.
“Can’t we live in revenge? Should I still find a different way to live? You even added that to the head of the household at the time.”
I also had memories of that.
Remembering that time, the old man smiled.
“How ridiculous and selfish these words are.”
“…”
“What on earth should I forget and what should I look at differently?”
Dragging.
Laughter deepens.
rang the space.
“Did you forget your karma and live? Jegal Uicheon. right. Forgetting is such a convenient thing.”
“…Gaju…”
“Don’t call me that.”
He was no longer the head of the household.
There is no family left, so what is the family head?
It was once called that, but not now.
It’s been a long time since I’ve already put down my seat.
he is the owner.
That’s enough for now.
“Are you comfortable? The days when I forgot the resentment of my family.”
“I… have never forgotten my family.”
“It’s interesting. Don’t you see how ugly your words are right now?”
How can a person who ran away from his family to live as a lawmaker talk like that?
The old man found it really funny.
The person who had the most outstanding talent for Jinbeop in history.
In doing so, the existence that was called the hope to raise the Zhuge family.
“No one knew that I would drop everything and run away.”
The old man was facing such a being.
“…Are you saying you resent me?”
“Hmm well. Not now, but I don’t know if it was like that in the past… but.”
Faith raises the tired body. Looking at it, the old man said.
“Even if you say resentful. You don’t have anything to say, do you?”
“…”
The one who escaped from the wrathful blood relatives and ran to save the lives of the filthy sect.
What can you say to yourself?
“Hundreds of years have passed since the Maeng family was framed and abandoned miserably.”
The Jegal Segas worshiped the Blood Demon.
Under such false accusations, the Jegal family, who had been sitting in the five great families, collapsed in an instant.
The killing order was issued and countless blood relatives were killed.
The barely surviving blood relatives live their lives hiding their names.
It was such a life.
“But you can’t live in revenge… How could you say that? Even then. Even for me now. Shouldn’t you be like that?”
“…”
That’s right.
At least, it was not supposed to be said in faith.
“house owner.”
“Tell me.”
There was one problem.
“How… how are you sure?”
There is a trembling in the voice of God.
Even the eyes of the old man who heard this were filled with questions.
“What do you mean?”
“…Their decision was truly false. How can you be sure?”
shaa.
The moment God spoke the word.
The emotion disappeared from the old man’s expression.
Looking at it, I could be sure of God’s faith.
“The lord… did you already know…?”
“…”
There is silence.
It was only for a moment, but in that brief silence, Sinui had to feel all sorts of emotions.
“faith.”
The title that the old man calls God has changed.
“I understand that yours and ours are different.”
The expression appears again on the face.
Seeing that, Shinui should have goosebumps.
“I am sorry. Although there are only a handful of blood relatives left…”
The old man is spatting out words as if he is truly regretful.
Sinui should have felt several meanings in those words.
“I can’t help it because the meaning is different. stop going back.”
“…house owner.”
“Don’t worry. Aren’t they the same bloodline anyway?”
dragging
“The fact that you appeared in person like this in my correspondence. That must be the reason.”
“…”
“Let’s talk about it here. You must be very busy too.”
The old man reacts as if he has no lingering feelings.
Is it true? Faith was inconceivable.
at that time.
drooling-!
A door on the wall opens and a space appears.
It was the entrance used when Shinui came in.
This is an obvious congratulatory order.
“…”
Seeing that, Sinui turned around without saying anything.
There was no further conversation.
Saying farewell in silence, right after faith disappeared.
The old man went back to his seat and bent down.
at that time.
“Are you all right?”
A voice came from the darkness. The old man did not react to this.
Because I knew it from the beginning.
The old man replied to the worried words.
“What do you mean?”
“…I don’t know if it’s okay to send it that way.”
A traitor to the clan.
The shame of a blood relative who went to find peace alone when everyone was sharpening knives.
The man couldn’t understand.
“If you judged that the meaning was different, I’d rather kill you…”
“The sub-owner.”
“…yes versus-.”
The old man turns his head and looks at the man.
“…!”
As they met their eyes, the man had to tremble.
It was because the eyes of the old man looking at the man were so fierce.
“Have you forgotten our oath? You wouldn’t have done that.”
“…sorry.”
At the end, the man bowed his head.
“I do not kill people of my own blood. Isn’t that what we decided to do?”
“…”
“Even if everything is slowly crumbling. You have to keep that much.”
“…but.”
“Also, that friend knows about it.”
Shinui took a step forward in this matter and found herself.
The reason why he was still alive even after his faithfulness betrayed him.
It was all the same story.
“If Sinui goes out and talks about us…”
“Cluck.”
The old man laughs at the man’s worries.
There was a faint insignificance wrapped around the smile.
“It is already too late for those who do.”
Even if Shinui goes out and spreads about this.
It is a very late point.
Knowing that, the old man also quietly sent his faith.
The old man shifted his gaze away from the man and stared into space.
A ceiling where nothing can be seen.
Beyond that, the old man was looking at something.
“The gears have already moved.”
Once you’ve moved, you can’t stop.
The resentment and anger toward Meng that he had never forgotten for a moment.
Now was the time to pay it off.
the problem is.
“Sub-owner.”
“yes. Lord.”
“I guess you’ll need to hide for a while.”
“I will pass on the word to the personnel.”
The fact that the Jinbeop was lifted made it necessary to act a little differently.
‘The thing that unlocked it.’
There could be a problem with the work that started scattering in Hanam little by little.
Isn’t that a big concern?
Still, you need to be careful.
Of course…
‘No matter what happens. It’s already too late.’
It’s just a little delayed.
Thinking that far, the old man slowly closed his eyes.
‘Hello…not much time left.’
How much have you been looking forward to this?
The old man had to struggle to calm his swollen chest.
All that remains now is to watch the fall of the Maeng.
no one can stop it
enough to overturn it.
That is, unless something major happens.
