[Episode 654] Back to midfield.
It was around night before going to midfield.
I visited the palace in the middle of the night for my last schedule in the North Sea.
“This is a place where only blood relatives, among whom were predestined for the position of princess, could come from generation to generation.”
At night, carrying a lantern, the place he visited was an underground passage located on one side of the royal castle.
I don’t know why there are so many underground here.
I was walking for a long time following the guidance of the palace attendant, and as I was walking like that, the palace attendant suddenly spoke to me.
“Old Confucius.”
“yes.”
“I want to ask you something.”
“Speak. I will listen carefully.”
“How did you try to save the non-foreign army?”
It was a somewhat out of the blue question to ask while walking in the dark.
I took a moment to catch my breath and looked at him.
“What do you mean by asking?”
“I mean literally. I saw your intentions and matched your words. I don’t understand.”
Hearing the princess’ words, he nodded.
I knew it.
‘The intended reaction was correct.’
The atmosphere of confrontation when meeting the palace.
As I expected at the time, it was true that the princess had intended such a situation.
It means that he knew that I needed Woo-hyeok and reacted that way on purpose.
“Being friendly. Would that not be enough for a reason?”
“How does it look to Confucius?”
“It seems a bit lacking, but…”
I wonder if there is more explanation to add.
No, there must be more to find.
“Looking at the condition, I think it would be good to use it if I took it.”
Woo-hyeok was forcibly made into Yong-in with the energy stored in the mang. There are things that have become much stronger, and because I put demonic energy into them, there is little chance of betraying me.
There is nothing more trustworthy than a relationship built on solidarity.
“I have a good job to do. The situation was also just right…”
Besides, Woo-hyeok is a shaman. It is also ambiguous at present, but originally he was the disciple who was receiving the most attention.
Even Goeseon, a master shaman, has a strange behavior and personality, so it would be no wonder if he was treated as the next great master.
when you look at it alone. Just having Woohyuk by his side was of considerable use.
He is the disciple of the next Jang Moon-in.
The current shaman’s best late index.
At the age of not being able to move at present, he has outstanding talents to compete with the elders.
Woo-hyuk is a person of enormous value based on personal connections.
If you ask why you have to take Woo-hyuk, you can explain enough to overflow.
‘Except for that.’
It probably won’t change what I mean.
“In the end, there isn’t much else besides the reasons I told you in the beginning.”
I saved him because he was a friend. Any other reason is just an excuse to pursue a just cause.
“Even if the princess is uncomfortable. It’s hard to find anything other than that.”
“…Right.”
In my words, the princess did not say anything after this.
Originally, bringing Woohyuk like this would have been impossible.
It was probably possible because the princess tried to pretend she didn’t know.
‘If I had to, I would have really tried to crash into it.’
The fact that there was no need for that means that the palace owner deliberately passed it on.
‘Should I say thank you?’
I thought about it for a while, but I knew that this also meant nothing.
an apology or thanks. That shouldn’t be said to the palace now.
It wasn’t enough that my daughter rebelled by being eaten by ice crystals, and ended up dying.
In the aftermath of the war, while the palace was in turmoil, the guy who took part in the work should be sent alive rather than beheaded.
It was obvious that the palace owner’s feelings would not be good enough.
‘It’s amazing that he’s guiding me right now.’
How are you moving your steps now? I didn’t understand at all.
What would it be like if it were me?
Well, I didn’t really want to imagine it.
“…I would like to ask you one last question.”
“Tell me.”
“Does Confucius have any goals?”
“yes?”
suddenly?
‘target?’
Goal. I was a bit taken aback because it was such a sudden question, but I was able to quickly find the answer.
“It’s not that grandiose.”

It wasn’t originally, but maybe what I had to do while regressing.
“I have work to do, so while doing it, I want to save the world.”
It blocks blood demons and heavenly demons, and at the same time blocks blood attacks.
That was the goal I was aiming for now.
When I mentioned this, the princess who was walking in front suddenly burst into laughter.
“Haha… They say it’s not grandiose, but it’s not great.”
“It was just a goal, so I said it out loud.”
It was also said on purpose to be taken as a joke.
The princess didn’t look too trusting.
The moment I wanted to walk again like that.
“If you do, what are you going to do after that goal is over?”
“…”
The words I heard flowed made my toes come to a standstill.
‘next?’
what are you going to do next
There was a feeling of vagueness in those words.
When you’re done.
‘After it’s all over…’
I’ll do it after I’ve finished all the things I have to do.
I tried to think of it, but I couldn’t think of anything right now.
‘I don’t know.’
Can I just sleep comfortably?
It was something I didn’t know yet.
As I was touching my lips with a blank expression, the princess glanced at me and added a comment.
“It would be good to think deeply about it for once. It’s not a matter for you to meddle with… Confucius…”
I can feel the light blue gaze of the palace owner beyond the darkness.
“Because it seems buried somewhere.”
“…”
After these words, the princess and I did not speak until we arrived at our destination.
******************
The place I arrived after was a large basement room.
The inside was filled with unknown books.
Along with the cool wind, old papers gather to create a unique scent.
It was also a smell that I really hated from my point of view that I didn’t study at all.
I pulled out a book and looked at it.
No title was written.
I was curious and opened it up a little.
Squeak.
“Ah, it’s enchanted, so if someone outside your bloodline opens it, you’ll have a problem…. You’ve already opened it.”
“…wouldn’t you like to tell me a little earlier?”
“I didn’t know you could open it right away.”
“sorry. Stop without me noticing.”
How can I close it again?
Since he was making an embarrassing expression, the princess said,
“How is it now that it is open?”
“…What do you mean?”
“You can read the text.”
At the princess’s words, I looked at the book.
The very densely written letters catch my eye.
How can you write so little?
“Yes, it looks very good. It’s enough to make your head hurt.”
Maybe it’s because I’ve always hated reading. Just looking at it makes me annoyed.
“Right. I see, I see.”
“why? Can’t I see it?”
“exactly.”
“yes?”
“It is an object that is not supposed to be seen unless you are a blood relative.”
Uh… but why does it look so good?
Just when you think something is wrong
“But it seems like it’s meaningless for the former Gongja anyway.”
“What do you mean?”
Upon hearing the question, the princess approached me and took the book she was holding.
Sarak.
The sound of turning the chapter tickles your ears.
“Confucius said he wanted to hear information about witchcraft.”
“you’re right.”
“If so, do you know what witchcraft is before that?”
“…I don’t know that in detail.”
Let’s remember what we heard.
“What the dragon brought… that’s what I heard.”
It is said that the dragon brought the unknown power of sorcery itself.
“That’s right. The sorcery was originally brought by the dragon.”
After saying that, the princess closed the book she was looking at and put it on the table.
match-!
I clapped my hands lightly.
That moment.
Hwareuk-!
The lights on the wall are lit. Of course I didn’t do it.
Did you smoke with energy? There was something subtle about that.
There is no trace of it to be called Samadhi evolution. I can’t feel the heat from the palace to be a painter.
it was something different.
“…just that.”
“Right. This is also witchcraft. Looking at their expressions, they seem to have recognized the difference right away.”
had to be aware
I know it’s like something different. Together.
‘What’s different?’
I hadn’t noticed that subtle thing.
haha.
Seeing me like that, the princess laughed.
“Doesn’t that seem strange?”
“Yes, it is very strange.”
“exactly. That is witchcraft.”
“yes?”
“A force that doesn’t make sense somewhere. I mean, that’s witchcraft.”
“There’s not enough explanation.”
Even if it was lacking, it was lacking for a long time. A power that doesn’t make sense? To be used as an explanation, it was indeed the sound of biting a dog.
“Before that, may I ask Confucius why he wants to know magic?”
“hmm.”
I had to be silent for a while after hearing the question.
It’s not because it’s hard to answer. I just wanted to explain a more plausible reason, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t.
The reason for wanting to know witchcraft To be honest, it wasn’t such a grand reason.
“It looks usable.”
“…hmm?”
“It was information I didn’t know, so I thought it would be good to know.”
The difference between knowing and not knowing was important.
I wondered if it would be convenient to know as it was something I had never heard or seen in my previous life.
Upon hearing my words, the princess did not show any noticeable reaction.
I just lightly raised my hand.
Swoop.
Then I felt movement on the bookshelf.
Took.
Among the books gathered, one book slips out and flies into the hands of the princess.
After that, the princess with the book in her hand asked me again.
“How did you see it this time?”
“What do you mean?”
“Looks like you used a spell. Or…”
“You made a bet.”
This time, it’s not something like witchcraft, it’s a void.
“oh.”
In response to the firm answer, the palace owner shows a reaction as if he likes it.
I should have looked at it and questioned it.
Why are you reacting like that?
“Keep an eye on it. Or did you take a picture?”
“You’re filming. It looks so good.”
“hmm?”
It looked similar, but it was definitely a flow of energy.
The sorcery I showed you earlier had a different flow.
Upon hearing this, the princess looked at me and tilted her head.
“Amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“At the time, when the same thing happened to me, I gave the answer that it was somehow different. Hearing this, my father, the previous palace owner, said that I have a talent for witchcraft.”
Somehow it was too different to be different?
“When you see it. I’m not sure, but it seems that Confucius has a great talent for magic.”
“…Um, is that so?”
is it a talent
Hearing the words, I smiled inwardly.
‘I wonder if there is something.’
I’ve lived my whole life listening to all kinds of nonsense, but now it’s a strange thing to say that I’ve discovered something.
That too.
‘It’s not martial arts, it’s sorcery, so it’s power that you don’t know anything about.’
It wasn’t a very pleasant feeling.
Since I was harboring trivial thoughts, this time I handed the book brought by the princess to me.
“Read it.”
I immediately took the book and opened it.
It’s no different than before. It is still full of thick letters, which makes my eyes frown.
I was just told to read it. I’d like to try reading it first.
“hmm?”
Suddenly, I noticed something strange.
It was a strange feeling about myself reading line by line.
This…
‘Why is it being read?’
As far as I know, I heard that the letters themselves are different between North Sea and Jungwon, but why are they reading it casually?
Noticing this, let’s look at the palace again.
“As I said before, witchcraft belongs to dragons, and that book is also enchanted. A spell that only blood relatives can read.”
“…does that mean I can read such a book?”
“It would be correct to assume that the barriers made of witchcraft do not work on you. Because you are a dragon.”
If so, does this mean that it is also the power of witchcraft?
If it was blocked by witchcraft, I wondered if it would be normal if it couldn’t be read.
‘The power brought by the dragon…’
I think it means that it was brought by a net or a blood horse.
What did they bring this for?
‘Besides, if you think about it, I mentioned trust.’
Not only in the North Sea, but also in the Central Plains, Shinui also raised about witchcraft.
‘It was time to fix Jegalhyeok’s neck.’
Around the time when he was treating Jegalhyeok using Baekgeup Magic Stone.
I watched the process according to my promise.
He placed a hundred-class magic stone on the floor, drew a lot of unknown patterns, and placed Jegalhyeok in the center of it, and Shinui closed his eyes for several hours.
Is that also ‘witchcraft’?
As a result, seeing that Jegal-hyeok’s neck was healed, it can be said that he did something.
Unreasonable power beyond reason.
It was definitely something different from martial arts.
“Information about witchcraft. The return I promised Confucius is what I have in my hands.”
At that, I looked at the book again.
“…this one book?”
There are books all over the place, but this one? He looks at the princess as if he’s not too tired.
“Don’t look at me like that. Because it breaks the law of the ice palace that has been passed down from generation to generation and gives it to you.”
Are you saying you’re lucky to be able to see this?
Tsk.
“There…”
The princess continued, while I began to read the text in the book once more.
“The book Confucius is holding contains instructions on how to build a ring around the heart, which is the most important part of using witchcraft.”
An explanation comes to my ears. At the same time, my eyes were lost in the text.
‘A loop on the heart. At first glance, it doesn’t look much different from the practice of deep gong.’
When it comes to the majority of deep gong, it is natural to replace the energy in the empty space with the danteon.
Mouth fire whistle ball used the bet made in that way to blow out the heat.
The martial arts of other Sega or munpas may be different, but not different from this.
Together.
‘This ring is…’
It’s like building the foundation from the start before stopping.
It was also strange to focus on the middle and upper level battles while ignoring the short battles.
‘Does this mean I can use magic or something?’
Shall we give it a try?
“So, even though other books cannot be shown according to the rules… I thought it would be right to show them at least the beginning.”
‘I’m sorry,
I can’t let you take it. Even with the authority of the palace, this was the best.”
The princess kept saying something, but she ignored it and focused on the flow.
“I can go as far as transcribing. If you use it from now on, you will be able to do it before you leave. You’d better not think about learning it right now. It took the previous princess half a year to learn this…”
‘Next time… if I send it to the midterm…’
He moved the fine energy around the heart using the gugyeol.
OK.
Click.
I felt a sense of being filled with something, and at the same time, I felt a shallow loop in my heart fill up, just like the name suggests.
“It took three months for the person who was praised for his talent, so rather than rushing.”
“done.”
“Over time, step by step… What did you say?”
I said to the princess with a somewhat refreshed expression.
“The ring is full. Fortunately, it’s not difficult. Ah, can I read the next one? I think there is still a lot of time left to receive just one.”
“…”
At my words, the expression on the princess’s expression crumpled for some reason.
It seemed like I was seeing a lot of expressions like that today.
Why?
