Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 432

< Episode 432 > Lake of Regret

.

It would be seen as disrespectful from the family head’s point of view, since he is making such a request from the wind in the morning.

I decided he wasn’t the kind of person who turned it down because he was in a bad mood.

And it was as I expected.

“From now on, you have to be careful with miasma.”

Following the warning, I raised my bet.

I had no tolerance for poison in this life, so I had to be a little careful.

I was now heading to Dok-i Lake with guidance.

When Dokjeolcheon Dangjemun was the head of the family, a ghost created in Sacheondangmun.

Poison Lake.

It is a mysterious lake that constantly forms poisonous water.

Although it may not be extreme poison, infinite poison had considerable value, so it was used and added to the poison made by Tang.

Through this, I heard that in the past, they sold poison and made a considerable profit.

It is a place that has become a history of the past as a treaty with the Murim Maeng made it impossible to be discharged without the permission of the Maeng.

and.

‘It’s where the White Horse is sleeping.’

Vigo, where the White Horse Stone, which was given to me by the Heavenly Demon in my previous life, is sleeping.

It was right under Poison Lake.

‘I never thought I’d come here on my own.’

I was thinking of coming and stealing it someday, but I didn’t know that I would try it before the contract was reached.

Although it was nice that the growth was faster than I expected.

‘It looks like I’m going to die because of that.’

I didn’t know it would catch my ankle.

It is a story that did not know that rapid growth and increase in energy would damage the bowl.

Most of the energy there was not something I ate because I wanted to eat, so it was a more unfair part.

‘What is my life like?’

As always, it never went the way I expected, so it’s just the same this time.

As I walked like that, I asked the person who guided me ahead.

“Doesn’t the head of the family go with you?”

“The owner said he had an urgent schedule…”

“I see.”

It was a woman who spoke. It’s a woman I’ve seen before.

Around the time I went to have a meal with King Dok in Hanam.

She was one of the dark-speakers who were all over the inn to test me, and she was the woman who looked the most talented among them.

I had never heard her name from Dokwang, but I knew her name was Nahi.

“Can I guide you alone?”

“…If you don’t like it, I’ll call someone else.”

“Not like that. It’s a rare thing, but I wanted to be able to watch it alone like this.”

It is said that Dok-i Lake is now just called a unique ghost, but it is one of the ghosts representing the party, so I wondered if it was okay to attach only one guide and watcher like this.

It was full of clumsiness somewhere to call this faith.

‘The single king didn’t come there either.’

Normally, if it was a form of fulfilling a request due to grace, the head of the house would be able to guide you directly.

Dokwang did not show up saying that the schedule was tight.

‘Hmm.’

Then there would be sogaju or dangsoyeol at least.

The fact that no one attached a blood relative…

‘Is there something?’

It seems that something is going on.

I wonder if it’s because of the problem of the transported sinners, but I had other thoughts in my head.

‘Is the party’s plan really over?’

The birth plan of the Cheonmujiche that Dangdeok suffered.

In addition, thoughts about poisonous rain in the future overlapped, and I often worried about it.

‘The actions of the Heavenly Demon are also at risk.’

The time when he stepped on Sacheon to kill Tang Mun.

Even the act of the Heavenly Demon trying to burn the land of Sacheon and check the underground here.

At that time, I wondered if Jegal-Hyuk did such a strategy because he had an idea.

‘…Did the Heavenly Demon know something?’

The thought that it might not be that suddenly comes to mind.

I thought there might be more parts that I didn’t know properly.

“This is it.”

I woke up to Nahi’s voice.

After a few minutes of following blindly, I was already facing a small lake in front of me.

When I see the lake, my eyes widen slightly.

‘…this place.’

You can see a lake with a light green glow.

The size wasn’t that big.

The calm waters in the soft colors just looked like a beautiful lake.

Since it was a lake full of poison, I thought of a place bubbling and full of disgusting smells.

Contrary to my expectations, the lake was so beautiful.

‘Is it like this originally?’

When I arrived at the Heavenly Demon and the lake.

At that time, it could no longer be called a lake.

The lake had drained and all that was left was a deep pit.

Moreover, at the time, the area was melted or rotted due to the miasma sprayed by poisonous rain.

It’s just a bit surprising to see such a beautiful scenery.

The moment I took a step towards the lake, Nahi spoke to me.

“…You cannot get closer than a certain distance.”

“Is all that water poisonous?”

“yes.”

“It looks too clear for that.”

clear.

Even from a distance, you can see the entire floor.

Is that all poison?

‘It doesn’t smell like anything.’

With that thought in mind, I relax a little and make a small bet on my body.

‘…hmm.’

Then I felt something enter my body.

It’s very subtle, but it was definitely poison.

Sensing this, I opened my curtains again, circulated the bet to drive out the poison, and looked at the lake again.

At this distance, just breathing alone would fill you with poison.

The time I can endure when I put my body in myself…

‘I have to try at best with my current body condition…’

About half of half of each.

‘It’s tight.’

It’s a shorter time than you think.

‘Does that mean we have to find the entrance to Vigo inside?’

At that time, since the Heavenly Demon followed his directions, all he knew was a vague location.

The fact that the lake was so clear that they hadn’t found Vigo until now must have been covered up with an arithmetic.

‘Um…’

Around the time I was thinking about what to do.

“Confucius.”

Nahi came up to me and lowered her head slightly.

“The time set by the master has run out. You must return now.”

“Already?”

“yes.”

haha.

look at this uncle

Did you really intend to just watch it?

It’s been less than half an hour since I arrived, but I’m going back.

‘Is this because I’ve been looking for you since morning?’

No matter how you look at it, it was clear that he was playing the back end.

It was a narrow-minded nobleman than I thought.

It must be doubtful that he asked to see such a lake first.

I didn’t think it would keep me looking at it for long.

and.

‘It doesn’t matter if I put a limit on it.’

I was thinking it would be anyway.

He looked at me slowly and said.

“You know.”

“…you tell me.”

“Would you like to make one deal with us?”

At my sudden remark, Nahi looks at me with a questioning expression.

I looked at the woman’s face a little.

She was an ordinary woman with light green hair and black eyes.

“…What do you mean by that all of a sudden…?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

He smiled at her and continued talking.

“I have to go into that lake for a while. Can you pretend not to know that?”

“…?! What!”

Nahi was taken aback by my remarks and tried to speak.

It was cut off with words in the middle.

“Instead of.”

There is something I once asked Dangdeok about.

Even if Dangdeok was smarter than expected, it would have been difficult to plan a strategy while figuring out all of the king’s path.

Contrary to expectations, he felt like he knew everything when and how the poison king would move.

What a strange thing.

How could that be?

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

In other words, it’s obvious.

It must have planted a spy.

It can’t be so unless there are eyes and ears to the poison king’s entourage.

So I asked Dangdeok.

Who are your eyes and ears?

Then he told me information about the spy.

“I won’t tell the Poison King that you are a baby bat. how is it?”

“…!”

It was a woman named Nahi right in front of me.

Nahi was taken aback by my words and immediately tried to raise his life.

waved his hand

Aww-!

“Keuk!!”

After being slapped on the cheek, Nahi’s head spun, and her bet was quickly disrupted.

He grabbed Nahi by the neck and pulled him closer to meet his gaze.

“I will ask you again.”

He didn’t express anything about living.

“I will make a deal. won’t you?”

“…How…how…”

“How did you know?”

how did you know

“Dangdeok told me everything. kindly.”

It was the truth. I really heard from Dangdeok.

When I tell him the truth, Nahi suddenly bursts out.

“It can’t be! Oh my dear…! There’s no way I could say something like that…!”

Jab-!

He gave another slap because he was making noise. Nahi collapses on the floor.

He said as he stepped on her chest.

“Ugh…!”

“If you don’t believe me, what will the next four years be like?”

“Turn it off…”

“Don’t scream in annoyance, you might get mad and twist your neck without realizing it.”

Blood dripped from his lips on his swollen red cheeks.

In a way, I didn’t care about how pitiful he looked.

“I don’t care if you won’t. After I kill you, I tell the poison king that you were a spy and drowned me in the lake, and that’s it.”

I knew that Nahi would come as my guide from the start.

I didn’t expect her to come alone.

If Dangdeok was captured as my escort, it was because I expected that Nahi, unaware of the situation, would follow me.

It just made things a lot easier.

‘It’s the fastest way to turn this bitch into a demon.’

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the energy to do that.

If Nahi, who seemed to be at the peak of maturity, was corrupted into a demon at the point where he had to head to the lake right away, the problem was afterward.

With the insufficient bet, it would be difficult to hold on in the lake.

So I decided to write it this way.

If I can afford to bet, I will corrupt it into a demon.

It wasn’t like that right now, so it was kind consideration.

Give a little more strength to the foot you are stepping on.

“Ugh…!”

He smiled and asked Nahi again.

“how is it? won’t you? Or will you?”

I hope you reply soon.

If you think about it, there will be only one option anyway.
