Episode 208
“Honestly, I was shocked.”
Ryu Geon-woo opened his mouth with a smile on his face.
“I never imagined I would see a prison castle here.”
“Actually, I was surprised that they called me out.”
Sihyeon also smiled and accepted the words as if he was joking.
But of course it wasn’t a joke, it was true.
I will probably never forget the feeling of coldness when I summoned the mountain and suddenly saw it fall.
“That’s right. Anyway, I’m so glad. It sends a chill down my spine just thinking about what would have happened if the prison guard wasn’t there.”
Saying that, Ryu Geon-woo looked at Si-hyeon with grateful eyes.
Then he paused for a moment.
He seemed to be thinking for a moment about how to bring it up.
After some time had passed, his mouth opened again.
“The reason I asked to talk to a busy prison guard like this is because I wanted to ask a question about one thing I was curious about.”
“I thought you would already do that.”
Sihyeon nodded and continued speaking.
“I summoned the Prison Castle, so you might be wondering about that.”
“That’s right. But actually, I was a bit hesitant to ask that question. I was wondering if I would make you uncomfortable by touching on something you don’t want to reveal….”
Sihyeon waved her hand at Ryu Geon-woo, who was speechless.
“No. I think it would be easier to at least give a clear explanation to the president of the association. He is also someone with whom we will be working on many important things in the future.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
“What can I say? I really want to thank you for your consideration earlier.”
After politely exchanging words of gratitude, Sihyeon opened her mouth again.
“The meeting is over, but you must be busy in many ways with this matter, so let me tell you right away, I am a bit of an unusual awakened person.”
“Deputy Director Seo once said something like that. The prison guard seems to be a bit of an unusual awakened person. I wondered what he meant at the time, but it turns out he was right, hehe.”
Ryu Geon-woo said with a soft smile.
Sihyeon also smiled.
“Well, if it’s Deputy Director Seo, it’s worth saying that. He’s someone I’ve had a relationship with since I was a low-level hunter. Anyway, anyway.”
His words continued.
“Actually, I am not only an incomplete awakener… but multi? Well, multi would be fine. I am also a multi awakener. That means I have awakened the powers of two people.”
“her….”
Ryu Geon-woo looked surprised, as if he hadn’t expected those words.
Although he has been hiding his identity for a while, he seemed to think of an answer like, in fact, it is Poahim, not Geomje.
“Of course you have an idea who those two people are, right?”
“…Are you the Sword Emperor and the Iron Blood Guard? But you’ve really awakened the power of those two…?”
Ryu Geon-woo asked with a look of disbelief.
“That’s right. So, you can summon the Prison Castle and use Hellfire with Accuoruts. I don’t know if you know, but not everyone can use the magic imprinted on Accuoruts. It’s because of the blood imprint that Hyris did last time. “Only the Sword Emperor himself can use it.”
“I see… I didn’t know that the Accurates had such a secret. Anyway, it is truly amazing. The fact that the power of two people was awakened is amazing in itself, but those two people….”
Ryu Geon-woo shook his head with wide eyes.
In any case, the explanation itself seemed to make sense.
In a way, it wasn’t really wrong.
Since there are Accurates and, above all, the Heart of the Sword Emperor, it could be said that Sihyeon is the closest to the Sword Emperor’s awakener than anyone else now that there is no official awakener.
“Has your curiosity been satisfied now?”
Ryu Geon-woo came to his senses at Si-hyeon’s words.
“Yes, thank you for telling me.”
“I hope the president of the association could give some explanation to other S-class awakened people. They also know me as Geomje, so they must have had some strange thoughts when they saw the prison castle this time.”
Even the Korean S-class awakeners who considered themselves Geomje were just about to talk.
It was obvious that they would be puzzled because they had memories of the prison castle.
“Okay, I will.”
“thank you.”
Sihyeon said thank you and continued.
“No matter how thoroughly you control it, the news about the prison castle will probably leak out to foreign countries. They will also guess that Poahim is in Korea. Well, it can’t be helped. It’s such a big deal… But I hope you keep the news about the multi-awakening a secret for now. do.”
In fact, it didn’t matter much if it became known as long as he had fully regained his strength.
However, the emperor group knows themselves as Geomje.
They and I have already crossed the river of no return.
And I didn’t know if I would hit him again and bleed in the future.
I had a feeling that was close to certainty that that would happen.
I wanted to cause as much confusion as possible to the emperor’s group.
“Of course. It will never come out of my mouth. But even if you feel uncomfortable in some way….”
Ryu Geon-woo said while examining Si-hyeon’s complexion.
“No, it’s okay.”
Sihyeon waved his hand as if it was nothing.
It seemed like I frowned a bit without realizing it.
Hi Reese.
She will definitely hear this news.
And thinking about what happened with her made my head hurt a little.
But it was something that had to be solved at least once anyway.

“Huh!”
The association employee who checked Sihyeon’s ID looked surprised.
He then quickly signaled to his subordinates to remove the barricade and open the way.
“take care.”
Sihyeon said that to the association staff and drove off again.
After about 10 minutes, the car approached the mountain whose name he had summoned.
Sihyeon parked the car nearby and raised his head to look at the mountain.
An uncharted mountain that no one in the world has ever climbed.
Now we will climb there.
It was something that would make any mountaineer jump with joy and be overwhelmed with emotion.
However, Sihyeon, who is not a mountaineer, just thought it was a bit of a hassle.
Still, thanks to his strong body, he was able to reach the prison castle at an incredibly fast speed.
“That’s amazing.”
Si-hyeon muttered unconsciously as he neared the prison castle.
It really was a castle.
It’s also quite a castle.
The walls were very high and thick.
Combined with the rugged mountainous terrain, it seemed like it could easily hold off even an army of 100,000.
No one would ever look at this place and think it was a prison.
After staring at the magnificent view of the prison castle for a while, Sihyeon remembered the purpose for which he had come here.
“This is Lee Si-hyeon, the 5th lord of the castle. Please open the castle gate.”
Sihyeon said.
After a while, the gate began to open with a heavy rattling sound.
When the gate was fully opened, Sihyeon walked towards it.
◈ ◈ ◈
“insect!”
As soon as Sihyeon stepped into the square beyond the castle gate, a loud voice burst out at the same time.
The crowd seemed to be well over 10,000 people.
They were standing in rows and rows, like precision machines.
They could feel the strict discipline of an elite soldier trained in battle.
In the front, Chuck and Marie, who had met at that time, were also staring at Sihyeon with their sword-like attitude.
Sihyeon looked truly shocked by that sight.
Looking at their clothes, they looked like guards.
And he predicted that no matter how much it was called a prison castle, the number of guards would be a little over 1,000 at most.
But what is this?
It seemed to be ten times more than that.
It was almost believable that it was not a gathering of guards, but troops preparing for an expedition.
Also, what about military discipline?
Even if it was a special forces unit, I didn’t think it would be able to do that.
“Lord Seong.”
Chuck, the first warden, walked with deliberate movements and stood in front of Sihyeon.
Next, Marie, the second warden, walked over and stood next to Chuck.
“What is this….”
Sihyeon said, unable to hide her embarrassed face.
“This is the first welcome greeting to the new lord of the castle.”
Chuck answered.
“This is a truly wonderful welcome.”
Sihyeon clicked his tongue and said.
“If there’s something you don’t like….”
“No, I mean it’s literally amazing.”
Sihyeon shook his head.
“Thank you for seeing it that way.”
“But… these people here are all guards, right?”
“That’s right.”
“So what about the prisoners now?”
“There are 1,000 guards on tight security, mainly for prisoners of note. So please be careful.”
“No, is there another 1,000 to this number?”
Sihyeon asked with surprised eyes at Chuck’s answer.
“That’s right. The number of guards is exactly 11,079.”
“….”
Actually, my temper was a bit big.
Still, this number was beyond imagination.
It seems that there were no residents in this prison castle, but instead it was all guards.
“Then how many prisoners are there?”
Sihyeon asked.
“The number of prisoners is exactly 3,383.”
As expected, the number of prisoners was quite large.
In the end, there were about 15,000 people living inside this prison, including guards and prisoners.
“I see. Um… do you have enough food?”
People must eat to live.
Sihyeon, who remembered that, asked.
“The prison castle always has six months’ worth of food stored up, just in case.”
This time Marie answered.
She took a quick look at Sihyeon’s eyes and continued speaking.
“By the way, Lord Seong.”
“What is it?”
“There’s a bit of a problem with the drinking water….”
“ah.”
Sihyeon looked like he understood.
The water source must have been cut off because he was summoned alive to another world.
“That certainly needs to be addressed urgently.”
“Yes, Lord Seong.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll provide drinking water right away.”
He had that level of ability.
It would be okay if you moved bottled water at night.
If you were worried about that, you could just use Toya’s teleportation magic circle to move it.
“Thank you, Lord Seong.”
Marie bowed her head.
“Then, please return the guards to their original positions. Of course, they did a good job, so there is no problem with boundaries, but there is no need for them to keep standing like that because of me.”
“I will do as you command.”
“And now I’d like to take a tour of the prison. Please show me around.”
“Yes, Lord Seong.”
◈ ◈ ◈
“This is a place like this.”
Sihyeon muttered.
I was puzzled because I couldn’t see any buildings in the castle that could accommodate more than 3,000 prisoners.
However, it turned out that a prison for prisoners had been prepared in the basement.
I was shocked.
They barricaded the outside with a fortress, and as if that wasn’t enough, they locked the prisoners underground.
The prison castle’s notoriety was understandable.
And now I think I know why the prison castle was summoned alive.
If only the prison castle was summoned, it would be an underground prison, that is, a prison castle without prisoners.
Now, Sihyeon was going down the endless basement stairs.
What he wanted to see wasn’t the small children.
Of course, there are no small children in this prison where there are vicious criminals from top to bottom, but there are definitely people who can be called real bigwigs.
And then I went down to check on the big guy.
Because it was underground, there were torches lit everywhere, but it was dark.
In addition, there was a damp, fishy, disgusting smell.
Even now, they say the smell of the prison is disgusting, but they wouldn’t even dare to put it here.
I literally felt like I was going to throw up, and I was vibrating in all directions.
Si-hyeon, who had experienced many things and had become accustomed to seeing human corpses, felt sick to his stomach.
Once again, I thought that Marie, who was walking casually in front of me, was amazing.
Chuck stayed behind to manage the guards as the first warden, and she was in charge of guiding the prison.
How much time has passed?
Marie opened her mouth.
“Here we are, Lord Seong.”
To be honest, I had no idea how far I had walked.
However, it was clear that it was the lowest floor.
Because there were no more stairs leading down.
“insect!”
At the entrance to the prison, two guards who looked quite strong spotted Sihyeon and Marie and stood at attention and greeted them.
“It’s a lot of work.”
Sihyeon was greeted like a security chief and patted the guard on the shoulder as if encouraging him.
I saw the guards flinch for a moment.
I tried to encourage him, but it seemed like it only made him more nervous.
From next time, I thought I would just give encouragement with words.
“Seonglord, this way.”
Marie walked one step ahead and guided Sihyeon.
Sihyeon followed behind.
and.
‘indeed.’
I had just stepped inside the entrance, but a powerful and ferocious energy pierced my skin.
It was an energy I had never felt even in Sadong, where Max of Alcatraz was located.
There wasn’t even a comparison.
It seemed like there were more than one guy like Max here.
Maybe the entire prison on the bottom floor of this basement was filled with Max-level guys.
Max is S class.
In other words, although the exact extent is not known, there may be S-class prisoners swarming here.
‘It’s huge?’
Still, considering that there were only six S-level Koreans who barely made it to the top, it was truly incredible.
Sihyeon thought about that and started walking again.
