Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 89

< Episode 89 > Treatment. (1)

The time when about an hour had passed since I locked myself in my room.

Only then did I come out of the room.

It was because I was tired, but I had something to think about.

When I came out after finishing the tidying up, there was Wi Seol-ah outside.

For some reason, I was sitting still on the floor, so I sneakily sat down.

“What… what are you doing?”

Wi Seol-ah’s expression is unusual when he pretends to know him.

My eyes were slightly swollen as if I had cried a little. The face looks kind of depressed.

“What’s going on?

5

“Nothing happened…”

“Wouldn’t it be more credible if I said it with an expressionless expression?”

“ ”

Even if it’s not, it’s a little drooping eyes, so if you’re expressionless, you look sad.

The corners of her mouth went down slightly, and her face had all the sorrows of the world.

Wiseol-ah, who had been mumbling, speaks quietly to me.

“…I had a fight with my grandfather.”

“…With Noya?”

Geomjon and Weiss, baby? It was an unexpected word.

Sword John, in my opinion, is tolerable. No matter what Wi Seol-ah does, ‘Oh, my

granddaughter is pretty!’ It seemed like he was doing it, but he scolded me to the point of sniffling.

‘Except for the last time I secretly followed you all the way to Sacheon, I don’t

think I’ve ever seen you get scolded.’

It’s to the point where I’m depressed after being scolded.

What happened?

I asked, pretending to be as calm as possible.

“are you okay?”

“…are you okay.”

It doesn’t look okay at all.

Wiseol-ah looks at me with a sad face.

It seemed like he wanted to say something, obviously.

I didn’t even speak out.

Wi Seol-ah quietly raises her body.

It was because Hongwa had ordered him to go.

“young master.”

“huh…?”

“I will work hard.”

“uh? Yes… work hard.”

I don’t know what it is, but they cheered me on because I was working hard.

After saying that, Wi Seol-ah runs off in a hurry.

What did you mean by working hard?

Since you are going to Hongwa, are you saying that you are working hard?

Whatever it is, I’m worried about your gloomy face, so I’ll buy you some medicine later.

came out of the dorm.

The shallow pain still continued, but I thought it was worth moving.

I wandered around the mountains of the volcanic wave, which I had become accustomed to recently.

I went to the training center first, but there was no one looking for it.

There are more than 100,000 files such as

Telegram’s largest novel sharing room, DC Webtoon novel, etc…

found.’

Fortunately, not long after walking around the mountain,

I was able to spot someone climbing a cliff in the distance.

“stamp!”

At my call, Youngpoong, who was climbing the cliff, looks at me.

Youngpoong jumped down without hesitation and came towards me.

“Gusohyup.”

‘He also has a bad expression.’

Looking at Yeongpoong, who was slowly approaching, his face and other things

were not in very good condition.

Youngpung, who usually looked fine even after training all day,

was drenched in sweat even though the sun hadn’t even set yet.

It meant that he was training more intensely.

As if to prove that, the sandbags attached to the legs and arms

were also wearing much heavier ones.

“What are you doing?”

Youngpoong smiles bitterly at my question.

The expression of the literati of the Volcano School, whom I met on the way right after waking up, usually looked like this

.

Originally, I would have tried to pretend I didn’t know because I didn’t want to be involved in the work, but this time

I held back that feeling and asked one more time.

“I tried to ask Mae Hwa Seon, but the dark cloud on his face was so thick that I couldn’t ask

.”

“

“If it is something that cannot be told because outsiders should not know about it, I

will not ask any further questions.”

If it’s a job to the extent that the shoe show is pushed back, it’s actually a big deal.

It would be a bad thing to see that all of the writers, including the long-time writers, are like this

.

Youngpoong pondered over my words for a long time before carefully opening his mouth.

“…Do you remember when I said earlier that literary figures are disappearing?”

“Yes. I remember.”

…found those who were missing days ago.

‘As expected…’

What I thought was the most likely was correct.

Was the search successful in the end?

Even when the plum inspectors searched around, it seems like they couldn’t find it properly, but somehow

they seem to have succeeded in finding it.

It would have been fortunate if they had discovered the problem, but looking at the reactions,

it seems that a good ending was not waiting for them.

Youngpoong’s increasingly depressed expression proved this.

“…At the time of discovery, the masters were already dead.”

“Were you also present at the time of discovery?”

“Yes, because there were only a few Maehwa swordsmen left in the current Munpa.”

It seems that it was urgent if it was still included in the later index, Youngpoong

.

They were all already dead.

It was said that the Volcano faction had a grudge against them or

that it was only captured by plum swordsmen, so the purpose was to weaken the power of the Moon faction.

‘Whatever it is… I think it’s an unknown incident.’

“and.”

Yeongpoong seemed to have something to say, but repeated hesitation to see if he would not let go

.

Then he took a deep breath and spoke.

“…not a single drop of blood was left on the body that was found.

”

“.• !”

My eyes widen at Yeongpoong’s words.

No blood on the corpse?

All of that too?

Just imagining it is a cruel sight.

If the disciples who barely found it were not enough to lose their lives, they were in a terrible state.

The depression they had was also understandable to some extent.

Just have one question.

Not just one, but several, and why did they draw the blood of plum swordsmen?

“Seal…”

“Yes.”

I asked Yeongpoong just in case.

“Is the place you found managed by the Dark Night Palace?”

At my question, Yeongpoong swallowed in vain.

“How did you do that…?”

Looking at Yeongpoong’s reaction, the Dark Night Palace was right.

It was something I had been wanting to do since I hadn’t encountered it recently.

“I was asking because the Sapphire I met last time was from the Dark Night Palace, just in case.”

” ah.”

Young Poong seemed to know that I had fought a bloody battle.

There were a lot of things that looked dirty like bloody enemies.

‘…What is the Black Night Palace doing?’

I just thought it was one of the Sapa groups that would disappear after being pushed away by the Murim Meng in a few years

.

Even now, thinking that way, the night blood enemy belonging to the Dark Night Palace later became a demon.

The Dark Night Palaces already possessed demonic energy.

‘Is the Dark Night Palace and the Demonic Cult related? If so, how?’ It was said

that the purpose of the bloody enemy he encountered was to seek the faithfulness of the hut

.

Even more, the Dark Night Palace kidnapped and killed the plum swordsmen and drew their blood.

Killing them meant that they were not meant to be used as hostages.

‘What’s the plan?’

At first glance, it seemed complicated and heavy.

Seeing this, in my head, it is something that will be resolved on my own, so I step out and volunteer

.

Now that I’ve realized that I can’t turn away and run away in peace.

‘Don’t run away.’

It was at this point that I had one more thing to do.

“Is that why you changed the amount of training?”

“…ah.”

I asked while looking at Youngpoong’s sandbag.

Perhaps feeling the gaze, Youngpoong answers my words with a dejected voice. “…For some reason

, I can’t sleep easily when I see

the classmates who seemed so strong left in vain .”

Though exhausted and drenched in sweat, Youngpoong continued to warm up, perhaps thinking of doing more

.

“I lived thinking that only Heo Myung-man’s high praise had done anything, but thankfully, I

seem to have finally opened my eyes.”

“”

“I think I was too lazy. If I climbed much higher as an unmanned person,

I would be able to prevent the same situation from happening now.”

I was just looking at

Youngpoong, who spat out a little calmly and resolutely, without saying anything .

At Yeongpoong’s words, I thought in my heart that it was an absurd belief.

In his previous life, he killed the Heavenly Demon and saved the world. Couldn’t save everyone

.

Of course, Yeongpoong is the greatest genius of Hwasan, but after many years, when the time comes for the Magistrate to appear in the world,

he will eventually lose more people than he saves.

But I’m not going to talk about it too much.

I didn’t dare say anything to him.

Because it was a road I had never been to.

Indeed, if Shinnoya were with him, what would he have said while looking at Youngpoong now?

At best, what did the three generations of disciples say about living so heavily?

Or would he have praised him for having a good mindset?

When I saw it, it was neither.

I wouldn’t have said anything.

I would have just let out a bitter sigh.

I thought so.

Youngpoong looks at my face and smiles shyly.

Am I making a weird face again?

“This year has been a year in which I was able to gain many realizations.”

Youngpoong, who tried hard to hide his emotions,

said that he had to train more, so he said, “Work hard,” and I moved on.

The steps headed towards the top of Yeonhwabong Peak.

To have to climb this insanely high mountain to the top, how can it be so fucked up

.

‘…I think it’s better to go to the hut outside the door.’

He let out an insignificant grumble and moved on.

I was on my way to see the aftermath.

I heard from Mae Hwa-seon that he was being treated at the place where

Geomhu originally stayed, not at the hut he was in last time .

‘Why should it be built at such a high place…’

Since it has to be treated, Shinui must also go back and forth.

How the hell does God go? It must be difficult with the body of an old man who is not an

unmanned

…

It didn’t look like it, but it was something I didn’t know.

With a grunt, we finally reached our destination.

The house in front of me looked bigger than the hut Shinui stayed in.

He cautiously approached and knocked on the door.

profit.

The door opened slowly and the face I encountered was Jegal-hyeok, the grandson of Shinui.

As soon as he sees my face, Jegalhyeok slightly lowers his head.

It was like saying hello.

I wondered what to say, but I just brought out the business.

“I came to see the swordsman… but what about trust?”

My galhyeok made some motion with his hand in response to my question, but

it seemed that he had no faith right now.

Then he gestures back into the house. Are you willing to come in?

Inside, I could see Geomhu lying asleep.

First of all, I’m going to enter the room carefully .

‘…uh?’

I see something in the sword’s body.

It was obviously invisible before, but why

is it so clearly visible now?

As soon as I saw it, my eyes trembled.

Margie.

Demonic energy was wriggling in the body of the swordsman.

It wasn’t even the dark aura that the Dark Night Palace possessed.

It was like the pure demon possessed by the Heavenly Demon.

The time when Yangchun Guo looked at the sword and was startled.

Sinui was immersed in contemplation as he looked at the giant tree on the volcano.

Was there a tree this tall in the volcano?

I stood still with my hands behind my back, thinking such nonsensical thoughts.

waiting for someone

“faith.”

Eventually, hearing the voice from behind, Shinui turned his back and looked at the owner of the voice

.

“…I’ve been looking for you for a long time. God.”

“That’s right, I tried hard to avoid it. How can you be so persistent?”

The one who found trust was Geomzon.

Seeing that, the impression of faith is slightly frowned upon.

“Long time no see. Lord.”

At the call of faith, the swordsman shook his head.

“I… am no longer the leader.” It was

the point where many years had passed since Geomjon passed away and left the Moorim League

.

However, Sinui firmly responded to the words of such a swordsman. “To me, the Lord is still the same person

. What this means is that the Lord of the Lord has not forgotten

what he did .”

The Sword Master could not open his mouth at the firm voice of faith.

“I was hoping that the Lord of the Lords wouldn’t find that much.”

The swordsman closed his mouth again to say what he was about to say at such words of faith.

Because there were no words to say.

Sinui let out a sigh as he looked at Geomjon, who was avoiding his gaze even slightly.

I’m not sure if it’s someone like him from the past.

The sky of the political faction and the one who showed the appearance of the supreme absolute

was struggling with his heart collapsing.

‘…It’s not different from what Dohwa said.’

Looking at Dohwa who came last night, Sinui cursed at herself,

asking who she was asking to meet. Even after hearing those harsh words, Dohwa persistently

requested

that she meet Maengju just once .

He said that he should also be given a chance to atone for his sins.

Sinui thought that a long time had passed for that.

It was a story that would have worn off the resentment and hatred he had harbored.

It’s too hard to call forgiveness.

I understood him a little to continue my resentment.

So, it was not a very pleasant feeling to see the sky where faith was collapsing

.

Even though I once hoped it would collapse like that, that’s all.

Sinui looked at Geomjon and finally let out a big sigh before asking.

“Why did you come?”

Geomjon made a face as if he was surprised for a moment at Shinui’s question.

It was as if he didn’t know how to ask such an easy question.

At that gaze, faith crumpled and spoke as if explaining.

“…I’m just asking, so please don’t put your meaning into it.”

“…Thank you…”

The swordsman thanked him for his faithful consideration and soon

brought out the words he had endured for a long time.
