Choi Seo-yoon shrugged her shoulders suspiciously at Yoon Ha-young’s words.
Then Lily, who had been eavesdropping from behind, approached and narrowed her eyes.
“Wait a minute. By the way, didn’t you say you were going to meet Kim Seon-woo yesterday?”
“… … Seonwoo? Did you meet Seonwoo yesterday?” Yoon Hayoung’s eyes widened.
“No, that’s not it.”
Seo-yoon Choi hurriedly waved her hand.
Yoon Ha-young frowned at the suspicious appearance.
“What? You didn’t… stay out overnight with Seonwoo, did you?”
“You stayed out the night with Kim Seon-woo?”
” really?”
Lee Seo-jun and Yoo Ah-ra approached, seeming interested.
As the situation began to escalate, Choi Seo-yoon quickly denied it.
“No. I stayed out overnight at Han Se-yeon’s house.”
“If it’s Han Se-yeon, then Han Seong-ga?”
“yes.”
Seo-yoon Choi recalled what happened at that time.
When I opened my eyes, I was at Han Se-yeon’s house, and I ate the breakfast she prepared for me there…
I don’t remember it well because it was such a chaotic situation.
It’s not clear, but one thing is certain: her cooking was quite tasty.
According to her, she had cooked for her senior a few times and he always said it was delicious…
“How did you end up staying out there overnight?”
“Ah, that’s… …
At that time, the leader of the special task force, Kim Deok-hyeon, came and looked around at everyone.
“Is everyone here now?”
“Okay. I think you can proceed now.”
Shin Young-jun, a third-year agent who has now shed his rookie image, raised his hand and answered.
Kim Deok-hyeon cleared his throat slightly and spoke.
“As you know, there were simultaneous riots all over the world last night.”
At Kim Deok-hyeon’s gesture, a holographic image appeared.
The burning city.
In front of him, a line of people were seen, each wearing black hoods as if trying to hide their identities.
“This is not the first time something like this has happened. It happened 18 years ago. It was when Jin Cheon-woo’s influence was spreading all over the world.”
It was an unfamiliar story to special agents who have become mostly young due to the recent generational change.
“We call these people ‘followers.’ They are fanatics who worship Jin Cheon-woo as a god, and terrorists not much different from Jawoon. They also played a part in the reason Jin Cheon-woo came to be called the world’s worst magician.”
Then Lily raised her hand.
“Why do those people worship Jincheonwoo as a god?”
“To answer that question, I need a precise explanation. The followers do not worship Jin Cheon-woo as a god. They believe that Jin Cheon-woo will become a god in the future. They believe that they will be saved by Jin Cheon-woo someday.”
At those words, Yuara muttered blankly.
“… … Are you hoping to receive some benefit by believing in the new god that will be born in advance?”
“It’s reasonable, isn’t it? It’s better to believe in Jincheonwoo than to believe in a god who may or may not exist.
“Belief increases the odds of success.”
Lily answered.
And Kim Deok-hyeon opened his mouth again.
“The number of followers will continue to grow. The world will be in great chaos, and this chaos must be suppressed before it becomes too much to handle.”
Kim Deok-hyeon continued speaking.
“In that sense, it was decided to temporarily cooperate with external forces for quick suppression and subjugation of Jin Cheon-woo.”
“… … External force? Who?”
“No way. It’s not that guy?”
Voices were heard here and there.
It was a situation that was somewhat predictable based on recent events.
Then Kim Deok-hyeon nodded.
“Yes. As everyone expected, 8()1 joined the mission.”
“As expected. I knew it.”
Everyone instantly agreed.
It was already a well-known fact that Kim Seon-woo, the leader of 8()1, had a deep ill-fated relationship with Jawoon.
“And there is one more force besides 801
More will join. There may be strong opposition, but it is the Chairman’s order to avoid the worst situation, so we will follow it.”
Everyone tilted their heads at Kim Deok-hyeon’s subsequent words.
“… … Hmm? Who the hell are you?”
“Which force is it?”
Kim Deok-hyeon was lost in thought for a moment as questions poured in, then said.
“It’s the mine club.”
For a moment, a thick silence fell within the association.
Because it was something that was difficult for them to understand with their common sense.
“Ma, mine… … what?”
[Senior, I’m really sorry about what happened yesterday..
(Crying puppy emoticon)]
While I was looking at the documents I received from Han Se-yeon in the hideout of 8()1, I found a message from Choi Seo-yoon.

——————
It contained an apology for yesterday’s work.
Suddenly, I remembered what happened yesterday and let out a snicker.
[Don’t worry about it. And let’s refrain from drinking alcohol from now on.]
I sent a reply like that and this time I received a different message.
[Seo Yoon was returned safely.]
It was a message to Han Se-yeon.
I had no choice but to let Choi Seo-yoon stay at her house, but I feel bad because it seems like she suffered for nothing because of me.
It’s not easy to just let a drunk person stay at your house.
If it were me, I would have kicked him out right away.
[I always receive help. I will definitely repay you.]
Let’s send a reply like that.
Doom rose and someone appeared.
“… …Your Majesty.”
Seonhwa bowed her head politely to me. I looked at her and nodded.
“I have relayed the King’s plans to Ha-ryeong. Although there is some internal opposition, I hear that there are no major problems with the plan.”
“great job.”
Seonhwa lowered her head instead of answering. I stared at her blankly and let out a short breath.
“By the way, I don’t know if this is a good thing to do.”
“Are you talking about putting mine into the association’s work?”
“that’s right.”
Humans and mines are archenemies.
It had been too long since that relationship could be restored, and Mine had committed a sin against humanity that would never be erased for the rest of her life.
These two are not in an equal relationship, but rather a relationship between the perpetrator and the victim.
Ignoring such causality and forcibly
I was worried that maybe they were trying to mix the two.
“Four years have passed since the King’s wisdom enabled the clan to obtain human blood on their own. Conflict between the two races is inevitable, but accidents caused by bloodsucking desires will not occur.”
“As you said, it would be fortunate if no accidents occurred. But I’m worried that this will only escalate the conflict that had been quiet for no reason.”
Seonhwa looked at me blankly and said.
“… …Do you, Your Majesty, wish to create a future where humans and demons interact?”
I shook my head.
“No. What did I say?”
I know my subject too.
How can I, an ‘outsider’ who does not belong to this world, make the two interact?
I am neither an adult nor a revolutionary.
I have neither the ability nor the intention to do something so presumptuous.
And as I said before, humans and mines are not equal. Humans are more like victims who have been hit unilaterally.
“That’s your homework. It’s not my problem to solve.”
Seonhwa looked at me quietly and nodded.
“… … That’s right. That’s our homework. The King is an outsider in this matter.”
Then, as if remembering something, she opened her mouth again.
“I have one more piece of news to tell you.”
“What?”
“One of our clans was attacked by Jawoon.”
I shrugged at those words.
“What does that mean?”
“Yes, as the King said, I began to search for the magic of the Jawoon clan.”
I moved with Sunhwa to the new mine hideout built near the Moon Island.
As we arrived on the island, a familiar aura wafted through the air. A thick magic energy.
This energy was unpleasant when I was human, but after gaining the power of the king, it felt familiar.
“… … Over here.”
Seonhwa guided me.
I know it wasn’t that long ago that they moved into hiding, but it was huge, like a castle built a long time ago.
“Wow. How many years was it possible to build this?”
She said as she muttered while looking up at the huge castle.
“It’s not a newly built castle. It’s an old castle that has been reused.”
“…….}. Somehow.”
Even in a world where science and magic technology are advanced, it would be impossible to build this huge castle in an instant.
“For your information, this castle was built before the first king came to power.”
“okay?”
As far as I remember, the first king was at least
A person who has lived for over 300 years.
That means this castle was built quite a long time ago.
Then suddenly a sudden question occurred to me.
“I suddenly got curious. Wasn’t there a king before the first king?”
“We don’t know. However, we know that the first king has held the power of the king for quite some time, and has only recently revealed himself.”
“You have hidden yourself even though you have the power of a king?”
“Yes, that’s right. Maybe he has it.
I guess I was cautious because of the power of the prophetic ability.”
“Hmm.”
Before we knew it, we had entered the center of the castle.
I was wearing a black hood over my head, not wanting to cause any unnecessary commotion, but the people around me recognized Seonhwa and looked at me with questioning eyes.
Creepy.
A huge door opened and a throne came into view. Standing before it was a man I hadn’t seen in a long time.
He looked at us and said.
“..Seonhwa?”
Soon his gaze turned to me.
I smiled slightly and took off my hood.
I took it off.
“It’s been a while, Haryeong.”
“… …Your Majesty.”
Haryeong immediately got down on one knee.
all.
“I meet the king.”
“There’s no need to be polite, just get up.
You know my style.”
Only then did Haryeong get up.
As I approached, he stared blankly into my face.
“… … I heard the story, but he really is alive.”
“Oh, so that’s what happened.”
I looked around the king’s chambers. It was a luxurious space filled with gorgeous gold.
Mine’s hideout had always been characterized by deep darkness, but this place was bright.
It’s probably tailored to me.
He glanced at the throne.
A giant golden chair.
Haryeong gave me a hint to sit down, but I felt burdened and didn’t feel like sitting down.
“So. You found traces of Jawoon?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Haryeong answered, bowing his head.
“Thanks to the king’s advance warning, we were able to respond quickly to their attack.”
Jawoon is an ancient sorcerer who has been cast on Jincheonwoo.
He is desperate to solve it.
I was thinking of using it in reverse to find them.
Of course, they probably know my plan vaguely, so they won’t fall for it easily.
“Please accept it.”
Haryeong handed me something.
It was a black sphere with a pure white pattern drawn on it.
[Dead Man’s Resentment (Relics)]
“This?”
“This is a tracking mystery. If something unusual happens to someone who possesses an artifact like this, you can track them down.”
“oh.”
I found some pretty interesting stuff.
Haryeong said while feeling the novelty.
“I planted this relic in a clan that knows the magic of the ancient mines. If something happens to them, we will be able to deal with it immediately.”
As the summer that heated up the peninsula passed and fall approached.
The Wizards’ Association has recently discovered one of the strongholds of the ‘Followers of Jincheonwoo’, who have been causing the greatest trouble.
It was the Chinese branch that was estimated to be the largest among the ‘Followers of Jin Cheon-woo’ forces.
The association immediately formed a punitive team including a special task force of 20 people, and today,
They gathered on the Chinese plains to subdue the fields.
“… … Amazing. You created this in just two months?”
Yoo Ah-ra muttered in admiration while watching the footage taken by a drone.
A steel structure that looks like a giant tower.
Numerous magical engineering facilities were installed to avoid outside surveillance, and huge walls were erected to keep out intruders.
It’s hard to believe that it was created by a group of followers with no background.
It was of Korean scale.
“I guess the rumors that the followers have made contact with Zawoon are true. It would take a huge amount of capital to build such a fortress.”
Choi Seo-yoon said. Then Lee Seo-jun answered.
“There are also rumors that several large guilds have joined forces with Jincheonwoo. They may have provided support there.”
At that time, we were talking about the fortress.
“It is true that the followers have contacted Zawoon. That fortress is also supported by Zawoon.
“It was created by receiving it.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the suddenly heard voice.
The leader of the special task force, Kim Deok-hyeon, was approaching.
“Since Ja-woon was involved in the construction of that fortress, there may be hidden clues to finding Jin Cheon-woo’s whereabouts.”
According to the intelligence team, a suspicious magical force has been detected centered around the fortress.
That means there is some secret hidden in that fortress that the association has not yet discovered.
It is highly likely that this will happen.
“So, we absolutely must make this operation a success. So, everyone, stay alert.”
“yes!”
A powerful answer was heard from everyone, and one of the agents raised his hand.
“But, Team Leader. Do we really have to carry out operations with those guys?”
The agent glanced to the side. At the end of his gaze, there were twenty mines gathered together.
“Those guys. They will attack us during the operation.
“It could be.”
“Hong. That’s what we have to say. Human.”
