MEMORIZE Chapter 362

00362 One-shot match ———————————————– ————————–=

In fact, there was nothing to ask. Once a full-fledged battle has already begun, sudden action is greatly restricted. As such, it must be somewhere in the camp established here near Barbara.

The clan members were all looking at me with anxious faces. Then, once he tried to make eye contact, he hurriedly avoided his gaze. I sighed softly and took a step forward.

“As a clan lord, I feel embarrassed to be shown in such an ugly way. still… . “I’m really grateful that everyone came here despite their busy schedules.”

“Soo, Suhyeon.”

“I am in very good condition now. I will visit my brother and Geomhu separately later. “Then I think it would be better for you to go back to your original positions.”

“Okay, then. If you’re going, come with me… .”

Jeong Ha-yeon grabbed me with a low voice, but I calmly shook my head. And he left the barracks, leaving behind the clan members who still showed a hesitant attitude.

I have no intention of blaming the clan members. no. In some ways, in the end, I could see that changing the final personnel selection was my biggest fault. One way or another, Shin Sang-yong was a user on my fence. If only some action had been taken in the meantime… . The thought that leaving it behind with the thought of trusting it might have been neglect came over my head.

okay. Let’s meet first. Let’s meet and listen to the story. Thinking like that, I quickly moved to where the 3rd echelon barracks were. Even if I avoid Shin Sang-yong like last time, I started walking around the barracks, confident that I would meet him somehow this time.

The 3rd echelon’s barracks alone numbered well over 200 to 300, but I was able to find Shin Sang-yong’s barracks by asking people walking around. And the moment I entered the barracks that the users had taught me, I could see him lying dead in one corner. Luckily, it seems like he stayed in the barracks today.

As if he sensed someone coming in, Shin Sang-yong’s head, which was lying motionless, suddenly turned to look at me.

“Shin Sang-yong.”

“eww… ?”

Thinking that he was still awake, I called his name, and soon I saw Shin Sang-yong’s eyes open as wide as a flower lantern.

“… “Clan Lord?”

“It’s okay to lie down.”

Finally, as if he had finally confirmed that I had come in, Shin Sang-yong hurriedly got up. However, it seems that his body does not have enough strength to immediately slide his arm. I quickly walked closer and supported his body. At that moment, from the sour smell that suddenly hit his nose, he was able to guess that Shin Sang-yong had just vomited.

‘It looks like it’s really quite difficult.’

Shin Sang-yong’s face, seen up close, looks so painful that it looks extremely serious. The previously untidy eyes had become so devastated that they were almost dull. The eyes that used to be calm and warm had long since lost their vitality. Only a gaunt face and empty, sunken eyes were staring at me.

Shin Sang-yong and I stared at each other for a long time.

“User Shin Sang-yong. “Are you feeling okay?”

“… … .”

“I heard it was very difficult.”

“… Tsk.”

At that moment, Shin Sang-yong suddenly lowered his head as if my words had touched something inside him. It seemed like he didn’t want to show his haggard face, but eventually a few tears streamed down his pursed lips. He sobbed quietly for a while without even thinking about wiping it away.

I stayed silent as I looked at Shin Sang-yong, who was so dark that I couldn’t even talk to him. And when 3 minutes, which felt like 3 hours, passed, I could see the tremors in his shoulders slowly subsiding.

Soon, a hoarse voice came out from between the lowered heads.

“I don’t know if you remember… . “There is something Rod told me a long time ago.”

“What did you mean?”

“When you feel your own limitations. Getting over that wall must be done with your own strength. Of course, the process of moving on will be very difficult… . “If you climb over a wall on your own, it will become a solid support under your feet.”

I remember. That’s what I told Ha-yeon Jeong and Sang-yong Shin when they first joined when I was still at Mule. I nodded quietly.

“Before I met Rod, I was always a person who put life first. It was very rare for me to leave the city, and I lived my life seeking as much safety as possible… . But after meeting Rod. And while living with many colleagues… . Slowly, very slowly, I came to the idea that I wanted to change. No, I think I did it.”

I ended up doing it, and I think I ended up doing it. I took a deep breath as I heard words that had an unexpected meaning.

“Participating in this war also had that purpose. So I made a fuss to the clan lord and followed him. But he only realized it now. “It was an exhilaration, not an exhilaration.”

“… … .”

“I wanted to prove it somehow… . I wanted to show you that I can do it, that I can change… . haha. “I guess the guy who can’t work won’t work.”

“User Shin Sang-yong.”

Shin Sang-yong slowly shook his head at my call. At the end, a faint sound of laughter was heard, but it was a deep, self-mocking laugh that ridiculed oneself.

“I heard that you collapsed. I’m sorry I couldn’t go. I wanted to run right away and say hello, but… .”

Shin Sang-yong paused for a moment. Then he slowly lifted his lowered head and showed his face. There was a sad smile on his lips. Eventually, the mouth that had stopped opened again.

“I didn’t want to be seen like this by the clan lord.”

And at those words, I immediately opened my mouth.

There is a faint moon in the sky. The dark clouds covered in dark ink and the moon halo in the form of a round band foreshadowed tomorrow’s rain. Before entering the barracks, I calmly looked up at the sky. Suddenly, I felt the cold night wind wrapping around my whole body.

An eastern camp with a quiet aura. However, for some reason, a gloomy air had settled down. Perhaps the reason is that the aftermath of yesterday’s battle remains.

The eastern part is said to have suffered the most damage yesterday since the fighting began. The confirmed number of deaths is 22. In the end, it seemed that they could not withstand some of the enemy attacks that exploded on the front lines. Of course, the enemies must have also suffered a lot of damage, but this was a fact that could not be confirmed in detail at the moment.

In my personal opinion. In fact, it was quite ironic that the death of 22 people led to such a gloomy atmosphere. Ultimately, the point was fraud. As the battle had been consistently dominant so far, the fact that they almost suffered a crushing defeat this time must have come as quite a shock. Fortunately, I caused great damage to the enemy by returning the dragon flame, so it didn’t seem like there was a morale turnaround.

‘Tomorrow is the problem… . Yoo Ji-na, is this a twist? But I don’t think they can make an attack like that again… .’

“Merchionary Road.”

It was then. Just when I decided to stop thinking and go to bed to prepare for tomorrow, I heard a voice with a very deep voice.

“You’re not asleep yet. What a relief.”

“Magic Top Load?”

The woman who called me was Seonyul, a tarot card magician. She shrugged her shoulders once and then nodded her head once or twice.

“Isn’t it hard to call it that? “I would really appreciate it if you just sang it with a melody.”

“It was late at night. What brought you here?”

“this.”

When asked about the business immediately, Seonyul had a wry smile on her face. Then, as if trying to live up to my expectations, he started speaking very quickly.

“is it so. I came here because I had three official and personal matters to attend to the Mercenary Lord. The first is a user recruitment request requested by Mercenary Lord. Second, because I have something to personally apologize for. Thirdly, I have news to tell you.”

“If it’s a request to be taken out… . “Are you on your way to the military service now?”

“yes. “Originally, someone else was going to be the one to deliver the news, but I happened to have some business to attend to, so I took on the role as well.”

I stared at the melody that spoke like water with a new feeling.

“And I’m not the type of person to sleep while leaving work behind. “Is that rude?”

Eventually, when Seonyul gently raised her eyes, I sighed and scratched my head. To be honest, it wasn’t rude, but rather a welcome. Because I had a similar personality.

“After a while. The request for a loan is… . So it happened. “I ask for your understanding, Magic Top Lord.”

“If it’s user Shin Sang-yong, I know it well. I’ve been watching it with interest all this time. anyway… . Well, I will allow you to borrow money. But I want you to know this one thing. Mercenary Road.”

“What… .”

“If you have heard the rumors surrounding Shin Sang-yong, I would like to tell you that they are nonsense. “I will guarantee that.”

The strange rumor surrounding Shin Sang-yong was about his behavior of frequently leaving his position while marching. This led to the attitude of not properly participating in the battle, or rather, being ‘bad’, leading to the current situation where unsavory rumors were spreading.

“No matter what, Shin Sang-yong has participated in all of the battles that have taken place so far. “He fought as hard as he could, really, as hard as he could.”

However, I knew full well that the rumors were not true, so I nodded and kept my head in response. Seonyul must have seen my reaction, and continued speaking in a low voice.

“Then the issue of recruitment is resolved… . “Now I have to make a personal apology.”

“Have you done something wrong to me?”

“yes. “Do you remember the last time you told me a fortune?”

“I remember.”

“Since you left, I have dealt with the rest of the cards on my own. Of course, I couldn’t interpret it… . sorry.”

‘What else can I say?’

I didn’t understand why he came to apologize for just looking at the card, but I thought it might be because of the nature of his job. And since they said they couldn’t interpret it, it wasn’t something to worry about.

“I watched it for fun anyway. “There is no need to apologize.”

“Hehe. “Thank you for thinking that way.”

As if she liked my answer, Seonyul let out a subtle laugh and soon began to shorten the distance between me and me. Eventually, she took two steps forward and suddenly held out her hand. In that melody’s hand, a square card was held.

“This is a gift. “I’ll give it to you.”

“This… . “Isn’t this a magic card exclusively for the Magic Tower Lord?”

“This is the last card of the fifteen cards you unfolded then. Up to twelve are the cards I always use, but not between thirteen and fifteen. Just like the watch I showed you back then, you can think of it as a tool that helps with fortune telling.”

“still… .”

“The important thing is. “It’s a useless card for me, but the Mercenary Lord might need it.”

It was a sudden, out-of-the-blue remark, but I forced the words I was trying to reject back into my throat. After waiting for a while, he calmly reached out for the card. No magical response is felt, and no unusual information is displayed even when viewed with the third eye. I don’t know how a card like this would be helpful, but I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get it.

Eventually, the card handed over was showing its back side. I held it in my hand and shook it slightly, and Seonyul shrugged her shoulders again, as if telling me to do as I pleased. For a moment, I was debating whether to look at it or not, but I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal if I just looked at the picture I received. I hadn’t seen any other connected cards, and the chances of me interpreting the cards were very low.

So, I immediately turned over the card.

A total of two men and women were depicted on the card. The woman in particular stood out in the painting, and because she had wings, she seemed to represent an angel. At first glance, the angel had an expressionless face, but if you look closely, you can see that she was shedding a single tear. And in the arms of the weeping angel, there is a man.

One unique thing about this is that the angel’s wings were dyed black.

“Oops. Mercenary Road. Come to think of it, you said you had news to tell you?”

Was I focusing too much on it? I was just about to raise my head to see the angel for the last time when I heard a melody that sounded like a dream. And the moment my eyes fell on his face, I was at a loss for words.

‘uh… ?’

“We haven’t revealed it to users yet… . Hehehe. That’s good news. Finally, news came in from the North and South.”

I don’t know why, but the moment I saw the angel’s eyes, someone familiar suddenly came to mind. This… .

‘Seraph?’

Uhehe. The holiday has passed today. I have to go back into depression mode again. There must be a lot of people who are similar to me, right? ^_ㅠ I will take a day off from reviews and re-ripples today. We ask for the readers’ understanding. (We will combine the re-ripples tomorrow!) 🙂
