◈ Episode 234. Obscurity (3)
“I don’t have a wife, do I?”
“… … “What is that?”
“I don’t know anything else, just tell me that.”
As soon as he returned to the Labyrinth Lord’s office, Jong Li-kwon, who looked at Kim Joo-hyuk in awe as he asked that question, immediately nodded and answered.
“… … “As far as I know, I don’t think there has ever been an arranged marriage.”
“As expected… … ?”
Kim Joo-hyuk sighs with an expression of strange relief.
Zhong Liquan tilted his head slightly and asked.
“Then why are you sighing so relieved that your wife is gone?”
Zhong Liquan’s question.
“Yeah-”
Kim Joo-hyuk tried to answer that… … .
“… … hmm? I know?”
Suddenly, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu and frowned without even realizing it and looked at Barce.
Barce is looking at himself with a slightly distant expression.
‘If you think about it, it’s not really something to overreact… … .’
Kim Joo-hyuk, who thought so, thought about why he suddenly overreacted, then shook his head once and spoke.
“Well, anyway, this is fine. “Have you finished all your business?”
Zhong Liquan thought about Kim Joo-hyuk’s question for a moment, then nodded and spoke.
“First of all, my business is done for now. Now, let me finally answer your questions. “What are you curious about?”
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke without hesitation in response to Jong Li-kwon’s question.
“One is about the tiger beastman and the other is about Barche’s name. In fact, at this point, I don’t think I have anything more to ask you.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk said that and looked at Zhong Liquan, he nodded and then slightly turned his gaze to look at Barce.
Sigh.
Barce secretly turns his gaze to him.
Seeing that sight, Zhong Liquan unconsciously smiled and spoke.
“It’s really amazing.”
“what?”
“It’s so amazing that you remember your name even when you don’t. Of course, if you can’t remember your name, your personality will change slightly… … .”
“Barce hasn’t changed at all?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Zhong Li-quan nodded once.
“Yes, not saying much and being silent is the same as it was in the past. Because of that, in the past, I was the only one who talked about it.”
“… … “I’ve been curious about this for a while. Were you and Barche friends?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Zhong Li-quan shook his head.
“What can I say? “Rather than being friends, our relationship was a relationship, so we had no choice but to meet often.”
“… … “I can’t even guess what the relationship is, but I figured it out first.”
Since he was not particularly interested in what kind of relationship Zhong Liquan and Barce had in the past, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded lightly, and Zhong Liquan looked at Barce and began to think about something.
“Hmm… … .”
Zhong Liquan was thinking deeply for several tens of seconds, making a muttering sound as if he was putting together a puzzle in his head.
“Right.”
Suddenly, an unknown sound came out of his mouth, and he immediately looked at Barche and spoke.
“Perhaps the name you found now is Sangun, right? Or something like Shin-kun.”
“… … “How did you know that?”
Barce’s words.
To that, Zhong Liquan spoke with an expression that said, as expected.
“There is a way to know everything. “You were often silent, but your actions were very easy to understand.”
Zhong Liquan chuckled and spoke, saying something he couldn’t tell whether it was a compliment or an insult.
“There is nothing to do at least. “Perhaps your original name is not here, but in a place called ‘West Geumtaesan.’”
“… … Seogeumtaesan?”
“Yeah, maybe we can find your name there too.”
“Can you take me there?”
Barce’s question.
Zhong Liquan nodded slightly as if it wasn’t difficult.
“Well, that’s enough to make it not difficult. However, after arriving at Seogeumtaesan Mountain, I cannot help.”
“Just taking them there is enough.”
Barche nods his head in response to Zhong Liquan’s words.
“Then do you want me to go right now?”
Zhong Liquan’s question.
In response, Barce glanced at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Well, if you want to go, go right now.”
“… … “Let’s do that.”
“Then why don’t you come out with me a little later?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s next words, Zhong Li-kwon said that and immediately looked at Kim Joo-hyuk and spoke.
“Then what about the tiger beastman?”
“that’s right.”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer, Zhong Li-kwon spoke as if it was not difficult.
“Isn’t the tiger beast you’re talking about a woman who has blonde hair and seems to follow you very well?”

“You understand well, right? Do you know who it is?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Zhong Liquan nodded at that.
“Of course I know. She’s a little… … Well, it was a delicate relationship.”
“… … A subtle relationship?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked, Zhong Li-quan shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
“Well, your relationship with me isn’t that important. Anyway, let me tell you, that tiger beast is the leader of a group called Heukmong.”
“… … “Dark dream?”
“exactly.”
“Then if I go there, can I meet him?”
“I’m not sure about that, but I think there’s a high probability that it’s probably impossible.”
“why?”
“From what I heard a long time ago, she, the head of the Black Dream, has been in hiding for quite some time.”
“… … “He went into hiding?”
“That’s right, because of that, Black Dream, who would have made the whole world confused if she had appeared in the first place, has remained silent since she went into hiding. “I don’t know any more news than that.”
Kim Joo-hyuk continued speaking after Jong Ri-kwon’s words.
“Then where is the group called Black Dream?”
For him, Zhong Li Quan.
“I don’t know if it’s still there now, but at least as far as I know, the black dream is in ‘Goesan (怪山).’”
That’s what he said.

After Zhong Liquan and Barce left.
“… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk remained silent the whole time and remembered Zhong Li-quan’s last words.
What he said to himself after sending Barce away first.
“Watch out for the mandala… … la.”
Beware of the group called Mandala.
Zhong Liquan said that with a vaguely serious expression.
‘Of course, they can’t attack you right now, since most of Mandala’s group is currently sealed.’
‘But it is also true that the seal does not last long. If you want to survive, you’d better gather enough strength to help you by then.’
With those words, Zhong Liquan seemed to have finished what he had to say and went outside, where Barce was waiting.
‘You said it would take some time, right?’
Zhong Li-kwon also told Kim Joo-hyuk that it would take some time for Barce to find his name, so he thought so.
“after… … .”
I leaned back with a light sigh.
Obscurity.
One of the first names that came to mind after killing the underground man.
‘It doesn’t mean there is no name… … ‘A person who does not understand the truth’… … .’
I don’t know why on earth such a memory remained like a remnant along with the name Obscurity in his mind, but Kim Joo-hyuk remembered the meaning of the name Obscurity.
Kim Joo-hyuk did not become anonymous because he had no name, but because he did not realize the truth, Kim Joo-hyuk became anonymous.
“Hmm… … .”
It was around this time that I thought deeply about the name Obscurity.
“!!”
Kim Joo-hyuk saw that his eyes began to glow white and a very familiar shack was visible in front of him, and he turned around and spoke.
“I called you at just the right time.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
As usual, she sat down in the old shack and talked while looking at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“You found the name.”
“Thanks to.”
Kim Joo-hyuk said that and sat in front of the guide.
“Well, I think we’ll be able to hear the real story now, right?”
I got straight to the point.
After hearing Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, the guide nodded and spoke.
“I’m still going to tell you the story. If you’ve already found the name, you definitely need to hear this story and it probably won’t be boring.”
“I heard last time that I had to explain something from a very long time ago.”
The guide spoke to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“I wasn’t just playing around until you found the name, I was thinking a lot about how I could explain it to you more efficiently.”
“Then tell me right away.”
Kim Joo-hyuk responds immediately to the guide’s words.
The guide responded by nodding his head once, then cleared his voice by grinning for a moment.
“Avatar… … “Do you know?”
I asked Kim Joo-hyuk a question.
####
A huge mountain.
However, all that was visible on the huge mountain was stones, rocks, and a few withered trees.
“… … .”
All you really see are rocks, stones, and extremely rough-looking terrain.
Barche, who was staring blankly at the mountain, opened his mouth in a slightly dazed voice.
“… … Is this Mt. West Jintaesan?”
“That’s right.”
Zhong Liquan, who was next to him, answered like this and looked at Xi Jintai Mountain together with Barce.
“Your name is probably here. In fact, there is no place for your name other than here.”
“… … “What does that mean?”
Barce’s question.
However, Zhong Liquan smiled and spoke.
“That’s all I can tell you. As for the rest, you can look up the names yourself. “Maybe if you find the name, you’ll know everything you’ve ever wondered about.”
“… … .”
“I can understand everything, including why you left your name here and there.”
Zhong Liquan said that and tapped Barce on the shoulder.
“So, take a good look.”
After saying those words, I immediately tried to turn around.
“for a moment.”
“Why is that?”
Zhong Liquan, who was about to turn around, immediately turned his head again when he heard Barche’s voice.
“… … .”
Barche, who was looking at Zhong Liquan like that, slowly turned his head several times as if he was about to talk about something a little difficult.
“after… … .”
Soon he sighed loudly and opened his mouth.
“That’s what I was talking about earlier.”
“What were we talking about earlier?”
“that… … “I’m talking about my wife.”
At Barce’s words, Zhong Liquan opened his eyes blankly for a moment and seemed to think, but then he seemed to remember. Ah! She let out an exclamation and opened her mouth.
“Oh, I did.”
Zhong Liquan looked at Barce and opened his mouth with a clear understanding.
“Of course, now that I think about it, I think it must have sounded a little confusing to someone who couldn’t even remember the name. So, what I’m curious about is who her wife is?”
In response to Zhong Liquan’s question, which opened his mouth with a slightly playful expression, Barce nodded with a slightly nervous expression.
Zhong Liquan grinned at that.
“Firebird.”
“… … what?”
“You said it was a firebird.”
That’s what he said.
