Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 431

< Episode 431 > The Lake of Regret.

When the banquet is over, the night is ripe.

There was a full moon in the sky, and I was slowly walking along the promenade of Tang Gate.

Woo-hyeok said that the food at the banquet was delicious and would eat more.

Cheol Ji-sun seemed to feel the same way, so I left it behind and left.

“Whoa.”

Tonight was unusually bright.

Lanterns hung everywhere were lighting up the streets.

It was because the rising full moon was shining particularly brightly.

Contrary to how I feel.

The world still seemed bright.

He looked around with dark eyes and quietly opened his mouth.

“The white lotus sword?”

At my question, Dangdeok, who had been following me from a distance, raises his head.

– He said he was drinking.

“I knew it would be like that.”

It seemed like that would be the case. I let out a little laugh and started walking again.

“Go back to your room and wait quietly. I will go for a little walk.”

“…”

At my command, Dang-deok looks at me as if glaring at me, but soon moves on.

Carrying that guy out here for so long was a problem in its own way.

After confirming that Dangdeok had disappeared, I stopped for a moment.

I stroke my body once with my hand.

and remember

About the death that God said.

‘Death.’

Did you say that the bowl has reached its limit?

‘no wonder.’

I wondered why the headaches and mood swings I’ve been feeling lately have been so severe, and it seems this was the problem.

The balance of the body is getting distorted, so the influence is gradually spreading.

Tuapa Cheonmu corrected the body and proceeded with the artificial metamorphosis of the bones.

If the bone metamorphosis occurs, the original bowl will also become larger.

Is it possible to keep up with the breaking speed?

They even said that the more you increase your energy, the faster the bowl will break. Training itself is a dangerous condition.

Pazon said that at the current rate, he would reach that level within 20 years.

After learning martial arts, in just 20 years, he is completely transformed.

This was truly incredible speed.

Did you say that I have ten years left?

Since it was said that it could go to the end of the year, it might have been more than 20 years.

Even so, it would be appropriate to take ten years.

What is the probability of achieving a metamorphosis in it?

In addition, in a situation where bloodshed is in front of you, can you choose the option of building a state?

I see no

‘Ten years.’

I repeated the thought in my cold head.

How long did the war period last?

The flow has been pulled and has sped up a few years, so I have to calculate that too.

I think I’ll have to revise some of the things I’ve planned for the future.

Is there any way to gather more power?

I had to go to Vigo, where Naedan or ghosts were hiding all over the country.

After building more strength, he had to overturn the Murimmaeng once.

Catch all of that within five years.

Then the remaining five years had to think about the war.

“haha.”

I think of it and suddenly burst into laughter.

Plans are always so precise, but accidents happen in unexpected places.

Not everything will go the way you think.

My death was like that too.

“not good.”

Death was not feared.

I thought it might be like this someday.

I knew that if I kept changing the presumptuously predicted flow, something like this would happen.

Even though I knew everything, I thought a lot when I came in.

‘Didn’t God say he wouldn’t give me medicine?’

Are you saying that if you don’t have a medicine of faith for 10 years, you might die tomorrow?

One year, if not until tomorrow.

Shorter than that, half a year or a month.

It’s not bad.

That doesn’t mean death isn’t bad.

‘Meeting God here.’

I mean, that wasn’t a bad reason.

Pazon probably didn’t know that there was something wrong with my body.

He is a military man and not a member of parliament.

I’m sure he didn’t know about the problem with the bowl.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have forced him to train so hard

…

If it was that crazy human personality, I didn’t know if it would have been, but I was not seeing it.

this is one gimmick

It was a coincidence that I met Sinui here, and it was a coincidence that Shinui figured out what was wrong with my body.

In addition, it is also a coincidence that he was able to know that he could make a medicine that could prolong life from my death.

Did he say he wouldn’t give me medicine?

Judging by the look in his eyes, his words must be sincere and he will not easily unravel his meaning.

It didn’t matter.

As much as the head sinks coldly, the gaze also cools down.

Unlike sharp words and harsh attitudes, loyalty is deep.

Even though I hadn’t seen me in a few years, I could tell by looking at the way I went.

Not only that.

‘You have too many weaknesses. faith.’

He had obvious weaknesses.

Jegal Hyuk.

My time at Kuga with him taught me one thing.

The reason why he wanders all over the central plain is because of Jegal-hyeok.

I don’t know the exact reason, but I was certain of this.

Then what is the purpose of doing so?

There were also a few things that he was not familiar with or guessed, and most of these guesses were things that would be a weakness of faith.

Even if it’s not that, go further.

Jegalhyeok itself was a weakness of faith.

It won’t be too difficult for me to use it.

“…”

The way you think of them one by one makes you feel so calm that even you are surprised.

Is this because Jegalhyeok plays a big role in the later bloodshed?

‘no.’

no.

This is simply because Shinui or Zhuge Hyuk are not that important to me.

The mindset that you can throw anything away.

I felt like I was going to vomit at that dirty and heavy feeling.

He moved his legs, suppressing his sense of shame.

Sabak.

take a step

Then I thought.

Then what is important?

Does my death matter?

Neither is that.

I didn’t have much attachment to this life.

It’s been that way ever since I came back.

chance again? What is the opportunity for

Is this an opportunity to atone for what I did with my own hands in my previous life?

‘Haha…’

It’s useless.

Even if you say that you are now atone for what you did in your past life, can that really be called atonement?

It was just self-gratification.

It’s just a delusion that you paid for your sins.

then.

What is the reason for trying to live a life without wishing for the present life?

I didn’t have to think about it too long.

Because I already knew the reason.

“Gongja?”

“…”

Someone made a surprised voice while looking at me.

It was a hypocrisy.

Why is the weasel here?

Thinking that way, I looked around and found myself at the inn where Wi Seol-ah was staying.

The fact that Wi Seol-ah is here…

I turned my head slightly to the side.

Beside him, Namgoongbia was also sitting and looking at me.

They both said they were in the same place.

Namgoongbia watches the day that suddenly appears, and then approaches with her eyes widened.

This was also the case with Wisulah.

“…Gongja-nim? What’s going on…?”

Two people approach me and look at my face with a worried expression.

I laughed bitterly when I saw that.

I guess I’m not very good at managing facial expressions.

I hear everything

I wish I hadn’t heard of this.

“Nothing happened.”

“…lie.”

At my words, Namgoongbia showed an expression of disbelief at all.

Still, I couldn’t help it.

‘Did I come here after walking?’

As I walked and walked casually, I instinctively headed here.

It’s not a dog. I wonder if that’s a meaningless story.

Namgoongbia and Wiseolah, who were watching my condition, seemed to sense something strange.

Hey, if you showed up like this out of nowhere, you wouldn’t do that.

What should I say?

I thought about it for a while.

There were no words that came to mind.

So for now, I decided to just spit out my impressions as they are.

“I just want to see you.”

“…!”

“So I’ve been here for a while.”

I want to see you all of a sudden

That seems to be all I can say now.

I moved a little closer to the two who raised their eyes in surprise.

It’s so strange to see it hardened like a stone.

He smiled at the sight and stretched out his hand.

Seruk.

“…!”

oh…!

I hugged her a little tight as if she were careful.

I felt resistance for a moment, but I soon relaxed and the two came into my arms.

My hair is wavy and it tickles the tip of my nose.

The subtle scent of the flesh made it possible to let go of the heavy heart.

If I hugged her suddenly, I would be surprised and spit out something.

The two said nothing.

Are you that surprised?

By the time you feel sorry

Seruk.

I felt a hand caressing my back. Rather than blaming him, he seemed to think this was the priority.

I felt it and closed my eyes.

‘It’s small.’

I can feel the bodies of the two held in my arms.

thin and small

No matter how strong the energy inside them was, they were small and fragile.

Even though I was comforted by them for no reason, my head was still complicated.

Why do you want to prolong this dull life?

I thought of that.

‘Ah…’

And I remember.

The peace and serenity that Cheonghae Ilgum spoke of.

I am reminded of the wrinkled eyes of the old man who asked me where is the peace.

I also remembered the answer that I couldn’t give at that time.

‘I guess this is my peace.’

Please peace be with those who died for me.

Also, may the lives of those in your arms be peaceful in the future.

A life for those who burned their lives for me even if I didn’t hold them in my arms.

If it was a life for that, this life was enough.

Did you say ten years?

It will end the bloodshed in it.

Even if I can’t, I will.

We have to do it somehow.

The option to give up was abandoned long ago.

For that, I can give up anything.

It can be anything.

back.

He hugged me tightly and buried my face in his shoulder.

And I thought.

‘can do.’

I don’t break down.

I kept repeating it over and over again.

******************

As soon as morning came the next day, I faced the poison king.

“Sorry for the early hour. The head of the party.”

Others are just starting their morning practice.

When I didn’t even eat properly.

The king of poison narrows his brows as he sees me who has come to visit me abruptly.

Seeing that, I smiled slightly.

“The lake I mentioned before. Can I see you now?”
