Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 646

[Episode 646] Cold.

When I opened my eyes again, it was a cold night.

It is the night when the moon rises again after the midnight sun that my father created has disappeared.

The cold like a knife was still there, and I could feel the cold that was gradually getting worse.

It wasn’t snowing, but the cold was getting stronger.

A sound is heard in the gap of that uncomfortable sensation.

“You’re out of line–!!”

It was the cry of the black lion.

The gaze returns.

The Black Lion was putting the palace guard he was supporting on the ground before he knew it. He was staring somewhere with his characteristic attitude.

When I follow his gaze, I see Woo-hyuk collapsed on the floor.

I think we were just talking.

‘Did he just pass out?’

I was about to ask what it was, but it’s going to be like that, so it’s impossible right now.

‘what?’

Grabbing his dizzy head, he grasped the situation.

The meeting just now was not an illusion, so I had to check the situation properly.

‘I’m sure Namgung was right.’

I’m not sure if he’s lying or not, but now it’s funny to doubt.

Right now, it would be correct to assume that he was the real Namgoongmyung.

Let’s gather information.

I remembered what Namgungmyung had said.

– All nobles will bow their heads in front of you.

This is the first information.

The reason I can use the demons set by other owners, including Noae, is because I am a dragon.

However, he said that it is a different story to have people follow Namgung-myeong’s words as long as they can use it forcefully.

You can use Brainia, but it will be different to make you follow me like a nobleman.

Because of this, Namgungmyung said he was convinced.

-You are reincarnated.

I am the body that Shinnoya should have reincarnated into.

‘That’s the sound of forgetting ghosts.’

How could that be?

I can’t even listen to her. Even if that was the reason why the ghost followed me casually, it wasn’t something I could easily believe.

Only questions remain.

‘Why me?’

He is neither a scholar of Hwasan nor an ordinary scholar, but a blood relative of the Gu family.

If I were to say that I was the reincarnation of Noya, then I would not be able to understand it.

Volcano sword.

And the best midfielder.

If I were the reincarnation of a person who was outstanding enough to do anything.

‘I should’ve gotten something from the disease.’

Shouldn’t he have been born just as brilliant?

It was only now that he raised his level by consuming all kinds of talent, but looking at his previous life, he was far from him.

Also, what is the difference between Noya’s conviction and Namgungmyung’s words?

‘Are you living for the world? He’s laughing.’

I don’t know if you live for me. He also held the opposite beliefs.

Even though it’s a reincarnation, it doesn’t resemble a single important thing, but should I believe this naively?

‘…and it’s strange that Noya didn’t know.’

It didn’t make sense that Noya, who handed me the hometown directly, didn’t know that Namgung Myung, who saw me for the first time, noticed it at once.

‘In the end, does this mean I have to meet with Noya and ask Namgoongmyung again?’

It was a tough part to think about alone.

‘Also, if I really am Noya’s reincarnation.’

Will that be such an important part?

I was a little surprised, but nothing that touched me greatly.

Anyway, I have a separate body, and I have no memory of living as a noya several centuries ago, so should I care about that? It was something I didn’t know.

It’s burdensome and cumbersome.

Now, only those feelings remained.

This is unavoidable.

‘I have to do it anyway, right or not.’

Noya’s work was included in my work anyway, and even if there was another reincarnation, I was going to do this work.

As long as it’s that kind of position, it won’t matter what happened.

‘Rather than that now.’

What Namgoongmyung said behind his back was more important.

-Find Xinjiang.

Those were the words I spat out after pressing my forehead.

At that moment, he also knew that Namgungmyung’s brain energy had seeped into his body.

‘Why is Xinjiang telling me to go?’

where is xinjiang

It is the end of a long journey from Hanam to Seo Station.

‘It’s the area where the Demonic Cult existed in my previous life.’

It is the place where the nature of the Heavenly Demon Goddess was located.

It was called a sanctuary for church members and was considered sacred, and to me it was a place that became my own hell.

‘To think I should go to a place like that.’

What was it that made me go to Xinjiang?

As far as I remember, I heard that it was a place that was in ruins with the appearance of the demonic gates like the front line that the Gu family was in charge of…

‘ah?’

When I think about it, something comes to mind. Come to think of it, it was.

‘If it was Xinjiang around the time the demonic scriptures broke…?’

It was a place where the Demonic Cult was in my previous life, but that’s when Noya and others were active.

‘It’s also the place where there was a blood bridge.’

It was also in Xinjiang that there was a religious order created by a blood demon, just like the religion created by the Heavenly Demon.

‘Why didn’t I think of this?’

Could it be that it was so in the past?

Now that I think about it, it was an unusual feeling.

‘Is there anything in Xinjiang?’

Why did the blood demon and the heavenly demon make their headquarters in Xinjiang?

To say it was a coincidence, I felt uncomfortable.

Could it be because Namgungmyung sent Shinkang away?

‘I’ll have to go see whatever it is.’

A place I would like to visit someday.

I just didn’t choose because I didn’t have time or justification.

If your schedule overlaps with important work, there will be no problem.

‘Now that I’ve sorted things out… Now all that’s left.’

The final word, perhaps the most important.

-Be careful of Yeonilcheon.

“…”

A regressor like me, the first person in the world, and a person who led the superhumans of the time, including Noya.

Geumcheon Kwon King Yeonilcheon.

Why did Namgung Myung mention him and warn him to be careful?

‘Hasn’t this human already disappeared?’

From my point of view, I am not a person with very good feelings.

When he came face-to-face with evil spirits at the remarks in the Shenlong Hall. Without Noya’s help, I would have been killed by Yeonilcheon there.

There was also a history where he singled out me as a disaster.

that i will destroy the world

That would be a disaster. It was definitely decided that way.

‘But… it seems like everything is going according to what he said.’

I don’t know if it was bullshit at that time. The body that became non-human and a series of situations that were happening were really pushing my back as if a disaster was right.

Namgung Myung told me to be careful of him in such a situation.

‘Does that mean I’ll meet Yeon Il-cheon someday?’

It was that I was still in a relationship with him whether I liked it or not.

I don’t know why she was so sure of Namgung Myung, or why his thoughts were looking for the North Sea and doing something in the first place.

‘You mean we have to meet again in order to know that?’

Now, it means that I am in a situation where I have to meet Namgung Myung again and ask him what to say, and I wondered if maybe this situation was intended by Namgung Myung.

unless it is

“You wouldn’t have forced me to come out like this.”

Stepping ahead of him, I twisted his waist and swung his toes quickly.

Quagga-!! His strong energy wrapped around his feet collided with the sword blade of the sword, causing a wave.

Wind pressure mixed with air pressure sweeps the snow off the ground.

“Kuh-!”

The black lion who blocked my foot let out a drool and slightly distanced himself.

Whoop-! His heavy attitude swung around and pointed the tip of his sword at me.

“What are you doing?”

The black lion was glaring at me with burning eyes. He endured the gaze and slightly raised his hands to show them to him.

“Are you calm?”

“Calm? You said you were calm now.”

“Yes, you heard me. Calm down.”

Spitting out his words, he stretched out his hand.

When his fist touches the air, sword gangsters come to that location.

Koo-!! He shattered the sword steel with his fist.

The tips of his fists are numb. Apparently, my body wasn’t all that well either.

“Calm down. Awesome…”

Despite the continuous words, the black lion spews out speculation and murder as if it could never calm down.

The speculation was directed at me. My life was heading towards the guy lying behind me.

Outsiders in the North Sea.

To the guy known to me as Woohyuk.

“You know what you are guarding now.”

“I am well aware of it.”

“Are you telling me to calm down even though you know that?”

“yes.”

The story that Woo Hyuk plotted a rebellion in the North Sea spread everywhere.

In fact, I know that this guy is involved to some extent.

Even if there was a reason unknown to me, that fact does not change.

‘So I was going to leave it alone to some extent, whether it’s true or not.’

Being beaten was okay, but dying was a problem.

The black lion looked like it would kill Woohyuk at any moment.

no he will kill My life was real.

That’s why it came out.

“If he dies here, it will be difficult for me. Please bear with me.”

I still had something to ask Namgoong Myung. Even for that reason, Woohyuk shouldn’t have died.

“Hold on…?”

The problem is that these words made the bow show, and the black company’s speculation became more intense.

“I’m saying this knowing what that guy did–!!”

A wild lion’s roar erupts. It was louder because it was loaded with emotions and bets.

“Due to the rebellion, several warriors were killed and the people of the North Sea who got caught up in the work died-! But look at the main culprit and calm down?”

Sobs permeate the cry. It seemed that he knew all too well what kind of emotions the black lion had.

but.

“well.”

“what…?”

“Do I need to know how many people died and how many were involved?”

His feelings didn’t reach me.

I know that anger has a just cause and is right.

one.

“Are you doing well in the first place? Isn’t the first problem with the idiot who thought that the regime would be maintained forever at the expense of blood relatives?”

“this–!!”

The black lion, who had maxed out his fighting spirit, inflated his body’s muscles.

It felt like the veins in his eyes were about to burst.

I was dumbfounded even watching it.

I continued talking to the black lion while tapping the fallen Woo-hyuk with my foot.

“I know this asshole had an accident. In the first place, the North Sea was a place where it would not be strange if it collapsed at any time.”

Perhaps it was the time when he met Yuri and heard about the palace.

And he knew it the moment he came to the North Sea and went around it a few times.

“The power of the palace was being managed by someone other than the palace owner. Looking at it, you were doing everything else in a different place?”

Although it requires permission from the palace to move it.

Anyway, the important thing was that the palace did not manage the overall management, and the internal staff was also assigned to a specific family, not a division.

I understand.

“They did a good job. The blood family had work, so they must have done it. By the way.”

I understand.

“Because power is what you can’t do.”

If you do that, human desire will sprout.

“Human beings are usually like that. When you touch something big, you become greedy.”

How many years did you say you were in charge of power?

From what I heard, the blue wolf or something has been managing it for over a hundred years now.

One family is in charge of most of the power of the palace, not the power within the family?

Even the palace go beyond this?

‘I could think of it as recognition and increase my loyalty.’

Looking at the situation, no matter how I looked at it, that wasn’t the case.

“I left it like this until shit happened, so the problem broke out.”

Even if they raised a rebellion, what about those who joined it?

I was convinced that I could do what I had endured because I had the deterrence that I couldn’t betray the princess, so I immediately followed her.

It was what I secretly wished for. So it must have come together so quickly.

“Seeing this, even the princess is responsible to some extent…”

“dare-!”

The black lion, who couldn’t win in anger, grabbed his attitude and leaped into the air.

As the blade brushes against the air, it leaves a trace in the air, like a wave.

It is a strong endurance.

“Tsk.”

Looking at the flying black lion, he clicked his tongue.

‘Even though I didn’t say anything wrong.’

It was so shocking when it was said that one family was in charge of most of the power.

‘If that’s the case, there’s nothing strange when a rebellion breaks out.’

As long as there were no blood relatives in the Ice Palace, it was maintained because it could not block the cold wave of the North Sea.

It was said that there was a means to replace it, so didn’t it turn out like this right away?

Whii Iik–!!

I thought, avoiding attitude.

Why did the rebellion happen?

‘It’s because I couldn’t lay the groundwork in the first place.’

There are many reasons for this and that. The most fundamental reason is that the palace owner does not have the capacity to manage it.

‘Because I’m busy.’

I had to block the cold wave and manage the ice crystals.

The words must have been only good for the palace.

Doing that and managing politics and public sentiment? I really should have called him a superman.

‘Reality is not ideal and romantic.’

If you don’t, you’ll get ripped off. This was reality.

So it was strange.

‘How are you still maintaining it?’

In that situation, he must have taken some vicious measures, such as locking his blood relatives in prison and using it only to prevent the cold wave. It was rather strange that the palace was still maintained.

‘I’m not saying I would have done that.’

How can it be that people have a conscience, but lock them in prison and only suck out their life force?

That was what power-mad people would do.

‘Ah, wasn’t I a human now?’

anyway.

It was said that the ice palace was so dangerous.

In this case, there were several means to secure a position.

Among them, the easiest way would be to use the Heavenly Demon as an example.

She had no interest in power or politics.

She runs several battalions with numerous church members, but there are only her demons who died for her, far from betraying her.

The reason why that was possible was simple.

‘Because it was too strong.’

Because of her magic, she couldn’t betray the Heavenly Demon, but even so, the Heavenly Demon was strong enough to dare not disobey.

That’s it.

She is strong enough that no one can betray her.

Otherwise, it is an act that cannot be tolerated.

There may be stories about Seonggun or something, but I can’t understand them.

Of course… even if you think about this or that.

‘The guy who rebelled was wrong.’

No matter how badly he locked the door, the guy who stole it was at fault.

This was obvious, but I just couldn’t bring it out now.

thud-!! thud-!

When the attack was blocked and the attack continued.

The black lion, who instilled strength in his attitude, speaks to me.

“If you say you’re going to protect the army, you’ll be cut too.”

I could see that the speculation that had come to me was mixed with life.

Seeing that, I raised my eyes.

‘I’m mixing it now.’

I was surprised at how late it was.

The black lion didn’t show me how to live until the end, then spat out a warning and showed it.

He can’t be a very knowledgeable person.

‘Is that why he didn’t betray until the end?’

There are few good people.

I thought so, but I hid my feelings and said with a sneer at the black lion.

“Can you do it if you want to?”

“Even if I can’t, I can’t back down. So I will.”

“…hmm.”

It seemed like a good answer in many ways.

‘pass.’

Hearing the answer, he nodded inwardly.

It was a satisfactory answer, so I was able to confirm what I was worried about.

‘I shouldn’t kill him.’

Originally, I tried to kill him because he was a nuisance, but I think it would be better to leave such a person alone.

I lowered my stance slightly. And it lifted my spirits.

As the energy becomes a form and begins to be visible, the black lion’s body is also wary.

It is at this time.

“omg-! excuse me! I have something!”

He raised his upper body with an urgent expression and pointed somewhere.

Seeing that, the black lion’s thick eyebrows frowned.

“What are you doing? To the point where I’m going to throw myself away on such tricks…!”

The black lion swallows in vain in the situation that is unfolding.

It didn’t matter if it didn’t go through anyway.

The important thing is to distract yourself even for a moment.

My body was already in front of the black lion’s nose.

The black lion reacts belatedly to the unexpected speed.

yeah it’s too late When the black lion reacted to this.

Took-!

“Kuh!?”

It was after his fist struck the black lion’s chin.

The black lion loses consciousness immediately as if it was hit properly.

thud-! His large body collapsed in the snow.

Seeing that, I let out a small sigh.

“It was close.”

Even if it was a little late, the surprise attack would have failed.

It’s because my level has risen, but it’s thanks to the fact that the black lion, a soldier in the Hwagyeong, was tired of dealing with monsters.

He took a moment to catch his breath and calm down.

“Looks like it’s all over.”

Pa-jon and Seong-yul, who were watching from a distance, approached me.

I had to look at it and make a face that I was ridiculous.

“Aren’t you showing up too late? I knew you were watching. Could you please help me?”

“Why are you interfering in other people’s fights? There is nothing more fun to watch than that.”

Pazon chuckled.

“and. I don’t think you really wanted me to intervene.”

“…it sucks.”

That was right.

It’s something I can handle alone. I thought it was something I had to do alone, so I wouldn’t have liked it very much if Pazon had intervened.

Sabak.

I slowly passed the black lion and moved forward.

It was where the palace was.

“Are you thinking of killing me?”

Seeing that, Pazon asked.

He had to gasp when he heard the question.

“What scary words are you talking about? Kill whoever you kill.”

To think that a nobleman, the triad of political faction, would say such a thing casually… Anyway, it was brutal.

‘Another funny part is that it’s hard to deny in the middle of it.’

To be honest, I originally intended to kill him.

It’s true that it doesn’t matter if you die or not. It was to my advantage that the palace princess died, so I just put more effort into the former.

It’s easy to get out of the North Sea, which will be somewhat messed up when the princess dies.

It was just a matter of taking Woohyuk along with him.

‘Things got a little twisted.’

Because of what Namgoong Myung said, I couldn’t do that.

This is also the reason why the Black Lion was stunned.

I don’t have time to bother explaining. It was convenient to just faint.

In the meantime, I feel a gaze from behind.

It would be Pazon and Seongyul.

Pajon didn’t say anything more and just watched me curiously.

You must be wondering what you are going to do.

‘Honestly, I hope I don’t even see that man.’

I’m not the kind of person you wouldn’t want to see.

Gradually, I thought that I could show this much to Pazon.

He approached the prince, lowered his stance, and stretched out his hand.

I touched his chest and felt his breathing.

shallow Breathing is weak, as if it would break at any moment.

If you leave it like this, it will stop breathing in no time.

Passasac-! A strange sensation is felt in the body.

Something seemed to freeze.

He wondered what it was, but after a while he noticed.

‘…The bet is freezing.’

Perhaps the problem was her weakened body, but the princess’s energy was freezing too fast.

How do you mean to save this?

From a distance, I wondered if it could be done. When I touched it myself, it was on a different level from Mo Yong-hee’s coldness.

You want me to melt this with heat? is that really possible?

‘My body isn’t very good right now.’

Physical condition was also an issue. Because of that, I hesitated for a while, but I changed my mind after thinking about Namgungmyung’s words.

‘If you ask for help and come to Xinjiang later, it must mean that I can do it now.’

Even if it’s not that, it must mean there’s a way I can do it anyway.

She gave a slight nod of her head and let the heat go to the princess.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

The heat formed in the heart roars and flows through the hands and into the body of the princess. Up until here, there was no problem.

The heat calmly penetrated the body of the palace and fortunately, I felt the cold melt to some extent.

the problem is.

‘Is it slow?’

The heat dissipation rate is remarkably slow.

Compared to the speed at which the cold air freezes his energy, it was too slow.

It barely prevents it from freezing. Is it already too late to use your hands?

Even so, I’m trying to blow more heat just in case.

Awesome-!!

“…!”

In an instant, cold air flowed from the body of the princess.

I try to pull her hand out as it is in the cold and cool energy.

uhhh–!!

As soon as her coldness hit her body, her magical powers of heaven-breathing were activated and she began to swallow her coldness towards herself.

rain-! rain-!

The magic breather greedily coveted energy and began to fill his stomach.

I could tell by looking at this.

‘This bastard was sucking it.’

It wasn’t that the cold air suddenly penetrated the body, it was the magic perforation hole that was activated on its own to consume the cold air.

Thanks to that, cold energy gradually began to build up in a corner of his heart, and as with Magi, the mouth flame garun Gong gradually began to purify the cold.

‘hmm.’

I had to put on a look of embarrassment as I felt the energy in my heart increase.

‘Should this be considered a surprise?’

It was already a huge bet, but if I ate all the energy I could feel right now, I would be able to add more than half.

It was a staggering amount to say the least.

By my standards, this Hal is equivalent to the amount of fire an ordinary peak warrior has.

‘Fortunately, I think I can deal with the cold this way.’

I was wondering if this would work or not, but since I can do it this way, I wonder if it will be a success.

Besides, I thought it would be a considerable harvest to bet while doing it… Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

‘hmm?’

Suddenly, I felt strange.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Something strange is heard from the sky.

I couldn’t lift my head.

The moment I tried to focus on forcibly absorbing the cold.

Woooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

“…!!!”

A great energy poured from the air on me.

“…Keuk…!”

He couldn’t even scream under the enormous pressure, so he managed to recover and recover.

‘What is this crazy?’

can’t move

It was impossible to even scream.

As long as the energy is in a state of coming and going, if you do something wrong, a coin initiation will come. In a word, it means you have to be patient.

“my–!!”

“Confucius—sir!”

The cries of Paison and Seong-yul were heard faintly.

And then I thought about it.

What is this energy now?

It was hard to think because it was a sudden situation, but I knew instinctively why.

It was a chill that spread over the North Sea.

A terrible cold that was created by ice crystals and blocked by blood relatives.

Eventually, the ice crystal broke and was released.

As soon as I touched the coldness of the palace, they all came together at one point and were drawn to me.
