He’s the Legendary Guard, Isn’t He? Chapter 209

Episode 207

“Huh… It’s really huge, it’s huge.”

A man holding a camera raised his head, looked at the mountain where the prison castle was located, and exhaled admiration.

A mountain that appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the island.

That alone is an incredibly mysterious sight.

In addition, there is an unidentified castle perched like a fortress up there.

It was a sight that could not help but stimulate the reporter’s curiosity.

He began taking continuous pictures of the mountain and the prison castle with his camera.

“Wait! What are you doing there!”

At that time, an irritated voice was heard from the other side.

He turned his head.

A man who appeared to be an employee of the Hunter Association was seen approaching this way with a stern expression on his face.

“What are you doing? I’m here to report. I’m a reporter for the 00 Daily News.”

“Don’t you know that this place is off limits right now? Reporters or anything else is not allowed to come in here. Even if you don’t know how you got in, get out now.”

The employee looked bored, as if he had already experienced this many times.

However, the reporter had no intention of stepping down easily.

“What right do you have to stop me?”

“The state has a duty to protect the lives and safety of its citizens, and we are doing this to protect those lives and safety. Come on, go back. This is a dangerous area, dangerous area.”

“Huh? This person?”

The employee began pushing the reporter with force.

The reporter, an ordinary person, had no choice but to be helplessly pushed aside by the power of the low-level hunter employee.

“Danger? What on earth is dangerous?”

The reporter asked, frowning.

“It hasn’t been long since the gate opened here. It’s been less than half a day. So, shouldn’t civilians be banned from entering until the authorities determine that it is definitely safe? And as you know from looking at the reporter, that unidentified castle. “What kind of crazy government would allow civilians to freely enter and exit that castle now that the safety of that castle has not been confirmed?”

The employee answered bluntly and repeatedly waved his hand at the reporter as if telling him to leave.

“Wait a minute, another gate has appeared?”

The reporter’s eyes widened as if this was his first time hearing this.

“No, you say you’re a reporter and you don’t even know that information yet? Anyway, there will be a detailed announcement from the government soon, so wait for that. Now, let’s get out. Get out.”

◈ ◈ ◈

There was a heavier atmosphere than usual in the association president’s office.

This is because the demon that the head of the National Intelligence Service had assured would not come with a high probability appeared, and the power of the demon was beyond imagination.

The head of the National Intelligence Service looked somewhat embarrassed by his remarks and also seemed uncomfortable.

It’s only natural that things have become more troublesome.

“This is really difficult. Was that demon that strong…?”

The head of the National Intelligence Service frowned and opened his mouth.

“That’s right.”

Sihyeon answered immediately as if there was no room for argument.

There is no one in the world who can give a clearer answer than someone who has experienced it firsthand.

“Didn’t you witness that huge fire, Director? A fire of that magnitude would have had enough power to reduce a city to ashes.”

Ryu Geon-woo spoke as if agreeing with Si-hyeon’s answer.

It would have been certain if two S-class awakened people could say that.

The wrinkles on the head of the National Intelligence Service’s forehead deepened.

It’s enough to turn a city into ashes.

It was not easy to imagine.

If such a disaster were to unfold in reality… .

It was terrible just to think about it.

“Well, after listening to what you two said, I understand very well how dangerous something happened. So, if something like this happens again in the future… how likely do you think it is?”

The head of the National Intelligence Service asked without removing his frown.

Sihyeon answered quickly, as if he had expected such a question to come up.

“Honestly, I think through this incident, the demons will realize that humans are powerful, so I don’t think they will be able to fall for us carelessly.”

“Is that so.”

When the head of the National Intelligence Service looked a little relieved, Sihyeon continued speaking.

“However, this is only a personal opinion. And unless a fundamental solution is reached, it will inevitably continue to be exposed to great threats.”

“What is a fundamental solution?”

“It would be to eradicate the demons.”

“…But isn’t that something our country can do?”

The head of the National Intelligence Service said with a look on his face that that was not the answer to the problem.

“That’s right. So it’s a frustrating situation. We don’t hold the key to solving the problem. Anyway, I think I’ll have to go to the United States at least once.”

Sihyeon spoke about what she had thought about in advance.

“America? Are you saying what should we do diplomatically?”

The head of the National Intelligence Service opened his mouth with a complicated face.

Diplomacy with a powerful country like the United States is not easy.

No, it’s difficult.

This was because the conversation had to start from B’s perspective rather than an equal relationship.

In addition, this incident is also related to important national issues of the United States.

This meant that the issue was both serious and very sensitive and troublesome.

Isn’t that why they agreed to keep quiet for now during a series of meetings?

“It’s not that I’m going there to get something or to ask for help. But I just felt like I needed to have a conversation with the great sage on both sides of the river, starting from the last gate and ending this time.”

“You mean… the manager is going to go to America himself?”

“That’s right. I have my own communication channel in America, so I plan to come and meet the Great Sage in person.”

“hmm….”

The head of the National Intelligence Service had a thoughtful expression.

At that time, Ryu Geon-woo, who was next to him, opened his mouth.

“The situation has changed. The risk has risen beyond what was originally expected. The director is probably aware of that. Some new countermeasures are needed.”

When even Ryu Geon-woo said that, the head of the National Intelligence Service nodded as if there was nothing he could do.

“Okay, I’ll report that to the president.”

“Thank you. And regardless of that, I think the government should basically make all the preparations it can.”

Sihyeon said.

“Of course. The President will also give instructions to prepare as best as we can.”

The Director of the National Intelligence Service continued speaking and changed the topic.

“Let that be done… about this matter.”

Since such a large mountain suddenly fell on Ganghwa Island, the government had no choice but to make an announcement.

I was asking for opinions on it.

“I guess we can just go with the truth. The gate exploded and an S-class awakened person, concerned about major damage, summoned it and stopped it. What do you think?”

Ryu Geon-woo opened his mouth.

“I think that would be better for me too.”

Sihyeon agreed.

“Hmm, I see. It sure looks good. So shall we go that way?”

Ryu Geon-woo and Si-hyeon nodded at the words of the head of the National Intelligence Service.

The head of the National Intelligence Service showed an expression that he understood.

“I just want to ask you one thing.”

Sihyeon raised his hand and said.

“What is it?”

The head of the National Intelligence Service cast a questioning look.

“I hope you will continue to strictly prevent people from entering the castle I summoned.”

“Is there any problem with that castle?”

“It’s a problem… If it’s a problem, it’s a problem. There are people summoned from the other world inside that castle.”

Sihyeon confessed honestly.

It was necessary to ask for government help.

“Huh? Well, what?”

“that….”

The head of the National Intelligence Service and Ryu Geon-woo looked surprised when they heard those words.

This was unprecedented in the world.

Summoning people from another world… .

“If I were to explain it, it would be a bit long. Still, since it is such an important matter, I will explain it to you step by step.”

Sihyeon began to explain.

◈ ◈ ◈

“oh my god….”

After hearing the explanation, the head of the National Intelligence Service still could not hide his surprised expression.

Ryu Geon-woo also had a similar expression.

“What do you think? Don’t you think we need to control access?”

Sihyeon looked at them and asked.

“Hmm. That certainly seems like a need.”

The head of the National Intelligence Service frowned and answered.

It was obvious that if the truth became known, there would be chaos.

First of all, it seemed necessary to control information.

“It was really unexpected that there were people… but thorough control will be necessary anyway. People’s attention is already focused on that castle. And some people may think that there are valuable items in that castle. Even if it is controlled, how will it be done? “They’ll probably try to sneak into the castle and check it out. But if we don’t control it, it’s sure to be chaos.”

This time Ryu Geon-woo opened his mouth.

“Well… that’s right. By the way, what about the people in that castle? Shouldn’t we at least talk about something?”

The head of the National Intelligence Service looked at Sihyeon and asked.

“If the people inside that castle come out, there will be no way for information to leak out.”

“What I mean is, this person goes in there and….”

“I know that place well because it is the castle I was summoned to. It is a very dangerous place. It is full of extremely dangerous prisoners. And the people who manage those prisoners are also extremely dangerous. Someone other than me is in that place. “It’s dangerous to approach.”

Sihyeon answered like that.

It was true that his answer was an exaggeration since he had not yet entered the prison castle.

But the reality didn’t seem to be that different.

Since it was a place that Poachim personally managed, I thought that it must have housed notorious criminals on the continent.

And as if that thought was not wrong, Ryu Geon-woo also opened his mouth as if agreeing with Si-hyeon’s words.

“What you said is correct, Director. You may not know this, but that castle is a prison castle, a place where the most vicious criminals on the continent are imprisoned. It is a very dangerous place. If even one of the prisoners there escapes, it will be very terrible. Days….”

“Is that so?”

The head of the National Intelligence Service swallowed dry saliva.

As Ryu Geon-woo spoke with a serious expression on his face, I clearly got the feeling that it was a dangerous place.

The head of the National Intelligence Service’s eyes immediately turned to Sihyeon with some resentment.

It contained the meaning of why such a dangerous place was summoned.

Si-hyeon, who guessed his intentions, answered.

“As I said before, the enemy was too strong. If I hadn’t summoned that castle, I might have been hit. And if I had been hit, the flames of death would have been….”

Si-hyeon trailed off, but no one here could understand the meaning behind it.

The head of the National Intelligence Service also slowly released his eyes that contained some resentment.

It would have been an even more terrible situation if a city had been reduced to ashes and hundreds of thousands of citizens lost their lives due to a vision.

‘Anyway, thank you.’

Sihyeon glanced at Ryu Geon-woo and thought.

Unlike the head of the National Intelligence Service, Ryu Geon-woo, an S-class awakened person, would have known well what prison nature was.

And that it is a place that does not suit Geomje at all.

Ryu Geon-woo, who knew himself as Geomje, was naturally shocked by the situation.

Nevertheless, he was thoughtful and considerate without saying anything special.

Perhaps he thought there must be some reason.

That’s why I’ll be quiet here.

In any case, it was a consideration that Sihyeon was grateful for.

Ryu Geon-woo opened his mouth again.

“It would be better to leave the people in the prison entirely to the guard. Only the guard can deal with them and communicate with them. So I think that is the best. As I said before, it is a dangerous place. Strangers. There is no need to provoke them.”

“I was already going to tell you that. It is a place I summoned, but it is also a place where it is best for me to manage it. I will take responsibility and ensure that it remains safe until that castle returns to the other world.”

Sihyeon said.

Since Ryu Geon-woo took the baby out first, we were able to talk more comfortably.

“That castle is returning to the other world?”

“Yes, I don’t know exactly, but I am certain that it will return to the other world someday. I summoned it, so I can guarantee it.”

“Hmm, I see. If that’s the case, then that’s a good thing… Anyway, it’s reassuring if someone as powerful as the manager says that first. I will express the same opinion to the president and emphasize it.”

The head of the National Intelligence Service also expressed his agreement with the changing atmosphere.

Since it was an item from another world, there was of course the thought that S-class awakened people would be familiar with it.

“Then let’s do that and then….”

The emergency meeting continued for some time afterwards.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Prison guard, please talk to me for a moment.”

The meeting was broken up and Ryu Geon-woo said so.

And it was what I expected anyway.

“great.”

Sihyeon answered.
