MEMORIZE Chapter 922

00922 A Poisoned Chalice, Two. ————————————————– ———————-=

As soon as the Hamill expedition left the area it had conquered, the surrounding scenery changed completely. If the border crossing was a forest with an ominous atmosphere, the place we were marching to now was a valley filled with clear and clean air.

In addition, perhaps because it was an area filled with holy energy that made one’s mind and body spontaneously become pious, Marr looked around with a bright face throughout the march. What’s worse is that the quiet kid came up to me during break time and said, ‘Father. I really like this place. Can we run around for a while?’ (Of course, permission was not given, because individual actions were absolutely prohibited in such a large-scale expedition.)

When I said no, I was looking at Mar, who turned away sullenly with his ears drooping, and a thought suddenly occurred to me. Perhaps the area we have passed through so far is at least a partial expression of the area that exists within the legal area.

Isn’t that right? A forest colored with dark blue steel and blood, and the area of ​​iron blood, the third rite of passage. and the Sacred Valley, the fourth rite of passage, the Sacred Ground. I didn’t really know it before, but when I think about it carefully, it seems like they are really connected one by one.

In any case, no matter how noble it is, it does not change the fact that it is an area that must be conquered in the future, and the same was true for this area. However, I made a different choice than the first time, keeping old memories alive.

There are a total of two roads that pass through the valley, and if I remember correctly, the main road is blocked by a colony of monsters that are native to this deep gorge. However, as a result of completely attacking this place in the past, we were able to belatedly find a side road that goes around the colony.

I chose to take that side road on this expedition. The downside is that the road is narrow and you have to take a few turns, but the chance of encountering a monster is significantly lower. It was the best choice since we had to conserve as much power as possible until we attacked the Temple of Promise.

Of course, since they have been settling in this valley for a long time, it would be too much to hope that we would never encounter them. Although it certainly cannot be said to have been frequent, the monster appeared once in a while if it was forgettable. Since thousands of people were moving at once, they probably sensed a strange presence and approached to scout.

Each time, I called Seon Yu-un and instructed him to quietly snipe any monster that came close. If successful, I retrieved the body, incinerated it, and quickly left the scene.

Are you going to miss something just in case? Then, it was a miracle that the one who returned would show up with the group in the colony. Later, after receiving advice from Woo Jung-min, he even managed a group of about ten snipers to prepare for the appearance of more than one sniper.

In fact, the expedition team itself was a group of elites, and as a result of further selection, archers who would have been second to none when it came to bows were gathered. Perhaps that’s why most of the snipers showed off their skills that lived up to my expectations when the situation arose, but there were also dangerous moments. There was only one time.

Was it time to pass through a side road with slightly rough terrain? More than twenty of them suddenly appeared above the gentle canyon.

As soon as half of them saw us, they said, ‘Wow! ‘Kyeah!’ I was able to easily take care of it by jumping down, but the remaining half was the problem. He must have been quite surprised to see his colleague being beaten mercilessly, so he immediately ran away.

The snipers quickly chased after them and were able to kill most of them, but because the terrain was so unfavorable, they narrowly missed two of them. Go Yeon-ju showed off his abilities and managed to catch one of them, but the remaining one was a problem. Since they initially ran away in opposite directions, even the Shadow Queen had no choice.

At that time, the person who came forward to solve the problem was ‘Cheongung (天弓)’ Seon Yu-un. Step, save me! He was aiming at the fleeing monster of distant light, but when he thought it was impossible, he shook his head and took away his purple longbow. Then he sighed and suddenly shot an arrow into the sky.

At first, I thought it was the way a player who failed a penalty kick got angry and kicked the ball. But it took less than five seconds to change that thought.

The arrow, which was thought to have disappeared far into the sky, suddenly appeared through the clouds, fell in a sharp curve, and landed precisely on the top of the monster’s head, which had turned into a dot. It was a truly miraculous sniping attack, as if an eagle had caught its prey in one fell swoop, and it was something I had endured for ten years as I was bitter about having to fight without moving a single inch.

Amid the small cheers of the expedition team, Seon Yu-un retrieved the body with a calm expression and burned it. Feeling like something was interesting, I asked her what her abilities were, but she just smiled slightly and didn’t tell me. So she saw with her third eye.

After overcoming this dangerous juncture, we resumed our march. Although there was still tension at every moment, the progress was at least twice as smooth as the first episode. ‘Avoid colliding with a group of monsters and escape as quickly as possible.’ The goal was no longer a dream but was becoming a reality.

*

When I first passed the first parking lot, I was hesitant, but as the march got closer, I became more confident. I haven’t seen a single monster in almost four days. It was definitely an unusual thing, considering that they showed up frequently in the morning and evening, or every other day at the latest.

Not only that, but the surrounding scenery was also slowly changing. It didn’t change all of a sudden, but at some point I could see the water mist swirling around my feet, and I felt a soft, wet sensation wherever I stepped. The visibility became a bit heavy, but it was not enough to significantly impede the march.

As the tension gradually eased, the atmosphere of the expedition team became slightly relaxed.

“Wow~. Source, source, source. What is this? Aim line alignment Two? Wasn’t this an archer’s ability? “How can a wizard use this?”

“… … .”

“what? This is applied magic… . Ah, why are you hiding it? Let me see you too~. Let’s see together~. huh?”

“… … .”

Jegal Hae-sol was trying to secretly steal the records that Geun-won was reading, but when Geun-won wouldn’t show him, he did strange things such as breathing into Geun-won’s ear or stabbing him in the side. However, when Heo Jun-young said something with an angry face, he went back to his place with a tearful expression on his face.

Geunwon stared at Heo Junyoung with indifferent eyes, then gently held out a sheet of records he was holding. However, Heo Jun-young was completely embarrassed and cast disapproving glances in all directions. Then the whispering and giggling noises disappeared in an instant.

While that quiet silence passed, I just walked quietly without saying anything. Occasionally, only a faint sound carried by the wind tickles my ears. However, as the unidentifiable dream-like sound continues, I unconsciously increase my hearing and focus.

The sound of angry breathing, a short sigh, the sound of stepping on pebbles, the sound of mountain birds chirping, the sound of water flowing, and the sound of sniffling somewhere… .

How much time has passed?

The preceding sound quickly disappears and then appears again. However, a whimpering sound, like someone crying, was constantly heard. The surroundings became even quieter than before.

When I felt something strange and looked around, the fog that had been flowing around my ankles suddenly rose up to my chest. Only then did I realize that I was caught in a dream.

It was a strange thing. Perhaps because of the fog, my vision was very blurred, but I didn’t feel like I was in a fantasy space. I was still walking through the valley, and although it was a little blurry, I could also feel the presence of my companions.

「Ugh… . Wow… .」

It was just that a young man, curled up on the ground, suddenly appeared in front of me.

“too bad… . It’s really too much… . Bad bitch… . Bad bitch… .」

“under.”

For a moment, I burst out laughing. This was because I was used to seeing a young man wiping away tears while squatting down. No, that’s me from episode one.

When was it… . Ah, I remembered. Was it when you were lingering in the plaza, but when you heard that you were going to be part of an expedition, you jumped in and participated? At first, I shrugged it off because they treated me well, but it was just a ploy to use them as bait. She barely escaped with her life and was kicked out after receiving only a small amount of silver coins, as if to tell her to eat and leave.

When I think about it, I think I really resented it back then. I still can’t forget the way the leader who led the expedition looked at me like he was looking at me like a bug. That priest woman, what are you doing now?

At that time, another me suddenly disappeared. And not even a second later, a new dream appeared. There are a lot more characters this time.

“Why can’t you help me?”

“My brother just said that. Still not sure? “I heard Belphegor’s plan is certain.”

“Ah, that’s it! I’ll go even if I’m alone! “Don’t stop me!”

“Suhyeon? Soohyun! Please tell me… .」

Me and my older brother holding on to me with a troubled look on our faces, screaming with tears streaming down our faces. And the past Hamill Clan members just sighing while looking at me.

hmm… . Umm… . I feel so ashamed just looking at it. If we had endured at this time, the powerful Hamill Clan would not have fallen into disrepair. There was no nuisance like that. My brother is also a bodhisattva.

Still, it’s a bit surprising. No, I should say that I miss it. Or am I jealous?

I appeared in both dreams and was crying in both. Regardless of how foolish and stupid it was, seeing him get angry and shed tears like that was truly humane. At least much more than I am now.

… Now that I think about it, when was the last time I cried? I don’t think I can cry now even if I want to. When everything is over, I wonder if I can cry freely at least once.

Well, I don’t know. It may seem impossible. In fact, until now, I think I’ve forgotten how to cry, or rather, the act of crying itself.

The moment I thought that, a third dream appeared.

「Suhyeon… . Soohyun… .」

Finally, a woman with ebony hair and deep eyes appeared,

“Holy shit… .”

I cursed softly and activated my third eye with all my might. He raised his magical power and created the power of Hwajeong. I don’t know anything else, but I never wanted to see that memory again.

Did it work? After a while, the image of the woman laughing like an idiot gradually begins to blur. The fog that had risen to her chest was still there, but she spoke. At this point, she can’t tell whether she’s still dreaming or not.

Regardless of how I broke through my anti-magic power, I stopped walking first. Unless there was some reason, the dream couldn’t have just appeared for no reason. There is definitely something there.

Thinking like that, I raised my eyesight even further and took a quick look around.

It was then.
