◈ Episode 246 How do you know this? (3)
“… … “Can I ask you a question?”
When the Taowang opened her mouth to hear the guide’s words, she immediately nodded.
“Questions are welcome. “What are you curious about?”
In response to her question, the king spoke.
“that… … It’s not that I didn’t understand the story about finding a name, but now it seems like we also have a hidden name. Is that true?”
The King’s question.
The guide smiled at that.
“That’s a good question. “Actually, I was going to continue even if you didn’t ask questions.”
She answered like that, then cleared her throat loudly and continued talking in earnest.
“First of all, the conclusion is that none of these people here will be able to find their true names. Because, of course, unlike Kim Joo-hyuk, you are just a mystery person.”
The guide said this while looking at Moo-gwang.
“Well, it looks like some of them have already found their names.”
“Then what does it mean to find a name…?” … ?”
The guide answered the question the king asked as if he did not understand her story.
“Hmm, I think I may have phrased it a bit wrong. To be more precise, would it be correct to say that I will find the ‘right’ name for you guys?”
“A fitting name… … ?”
In response to Seolnanshin’s question with a puzzled expression, the guide continued.
“I don’t know about you, but in this world, there are many names that have been abandoned thanks to the fight between the Avatars I mentioned earlier. And among them, there are many names that will greatly improve your skills.”
At the guide’s words, Tugui, who had been quiet this time, opened his mouth.
“That sounds like you are looking for someone else’s name for us… … “Is that possible?”
“It was originally impossible. “A name is not something you can get that easily in the first place.”
The guide said that and talked about the name.
“There are a lot of things that are needed to get a proper name and use that power. You need to know the past of the name you need to get right away in detail, and you also need to be able to assimilate to that name as much as possible. “You even need to know where that name sleeps.”
“… … “Are you saying that’s the case?”
In response to Tugui’s question, the guide spoke.
“No, actually, this is something that won’t change even if I help. “It’s so important to assimilate to the name.”
“Then wouldn’t it take a very long time to go through all of that?”
At Tugui’s words, the guide nodded as if he would not deny that fact.
“That’s right, it will take a long time. Moreover, although it is theoretically possible to assimilate someone else’s name and take that name, it is almost impossible. If you use it as an auger, you can use it, but… … .”
The guide declared.
“Even if you use the name like that, you won’t be able to properly use even 30% of the power that the original name has. But, if I were there, it would be a different story.”
She grinned and held out four fingers from her index finger to her ring finger.
“At least I know where all the names that suit you are.”
I folded my index finger.
“I also know what kind of past that name has.”
Then I folded my middle finger.
“I also know what philosophy and ideas those names had.”
Then the ring finger.
and.
“Finally, I have a secret to quickly assimilate the name.”
The guide smiled and spoke.
“Maybe you can get a name much faster than other people.”

Immediately after hearing her story, Kim Joo-hyuk’s disciples, Seol Nan-shin, Mu-gwang, and Do-wang gathered in the labyrinth master’s office and began to listen to the guide’s story one by one.
Soon, the King of Dao was the last to hear the story from the guide.
“The place you are going is Kunlun Mountain.”
“… … Kunlun Mountain?”
“Yes, Kunlun Mountain. If you go to the top of Kunlun Mountain, you will see a very large rock resting on one of the highest peaks. “You just have to go inside.”
Gibjabi said this to the king and handed over two items to him.
One is the compass that Kim Joo-hyuk used last time.
And the next item is a ring without any pattern.
The guide explained as he handed over the two.
“This compass will tell you where to go. So make sure to check and move.”
“This ring… … ?”
“That ring eliminates your presence. I’m handing it over to you in case other guys, including Mandala, attack you after you leave Labyrinth 5, so make sure you wear it when you leave the Labyrinth. and.”
“and?”
“That ring also contains information about the people whose names I explained to you earlier. You will find out when you infuse magical energy into it, so I won’t bother explaining it.”
The King of Dao looked at the ring as if he was impressed by the guide’s words.
“Did you prepare all of this in such a short amount of time?”
“Rather than preparing in a short period of time, these are things I already had.”
At the guide’s words, the king nodded and put the ring in.
Soon, he took a quick look at his surroundings and opened his mouth.
“however… … .”
“why? “Do you have any questions?”
Guide’s question.
The King of Dao responded by nodding his head slightly, then turned his attention to the curiosity that had suddenly arisen earlier and spoke.
“Well, do you know why they’re doing that?”

“… … there?”
The guide turns his attention to the words of the Tao King and looks in the direction he taught.
There was a ruler behind the mask and behind the mask.
They also look at the compass and ring with a very meaningful expression and sometimes smile a bit sinisterly.
The King suddenly became curious about how the girls, who had shown a sour expression until they were first called to the guide and received the compass and ring, began to smile meaningfully and suspiciously.
‘Of course, it’s possible that he’s just happy because he can be of help to Hyeonoh.’
Also, the sinister smile he occasionally showed was too distracting to just ignore it, so he asked the guide a question.
The guide spoke with a knowing smile.
“You two like them, right?”
“yes?”
“Your teacher. “Do you like it?”
“… … “Yeah, whatever.”
Since it wasn’t really a particularly great truth, the King nodded a little half-heartedly.
The guide opened his mouth without erasing the expression on his face that he already knew everything.
“No matter how I looked at it, it just seemed to be the same, so I explained in detail what name they would get in the future as a way to encourage them to work a little harder.”
“… … in detail?”
“Okay, so I guess it’s something like that?”
Hearing the guide’s words, the king looked at them again.
They have a smile on their lips with an expression that seems to be secretly anticipating something.
The King of Dogs felt curious about what the guide had just said to them, but it didn’t seem like she would say anything, so the King ended the story by nodding his head.
The guide, who watched it return to its original position, soon looked at the others.
“Okay then, good luck to everyone.”
He said that and smiled.

Training room.
“?”
Whether Kim Joo-hyuk expresses doubt or not, the white sword that Kim Joo-hyuk was holding a moment ago is Kim Joo-hyuk’s open sword! It began to shine brightly at the scream containing the cry.
Kim Joo-hyuk was looking at the sword in his hand with a puzzled expression.
“No, really?”
A sword that doesn’t respond to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“A bitch?”
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered again.
The sword did not move at all, as if its previous reaction was a lie.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who thought about it for a moment, opened his mouth again.
“It’s open water.”
The white sword begins to shine brighter as soon as Kim Joo-hyuk speaks.
Kim Joo-hyuk thought to himself with an absurd expression on his face.
‘… … ‘The name of the sword is Gaebingshin?’
For a moment, Kim Joo-hyuk thought about how destructive his past self’s naming sense was, and then he felt as if his spirit was being sucked out of him.
Soon, a white light began to cover Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes.
And with him.
A wooden table was created in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
A wooden table in a pure white space.
Around the time Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head at the seemingly unbalanced appearance, a man appeared in front of the wooden table,
“???”
No, a man who looked exactly like him appeared.
The appearance of a man who has the exact same appearance as Kim Joo-hyuk, so much so that he could be said to be a twin.
Kim Joo-hyuk tried to open his mouth without realizing it.
“I know everything you were going to ask.”
He appeared in front of the wooden table, had the same face as Kim Joo-hyuk, and opened his mouth.
“It’s too long to explain it all, so let me keep it simple first. I am a remnant of the old ‘you’ that remains in this sword. If you break it down a little further, you can think of it as something like a remaining memory. I just understand it that way because it’s easier to think of it that way. Oh, and-”
“I’m sure you have a different name now, but just in case you get confused, you can just call me anonymous.”
“… … “It’s so quick to clean up.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk responded to the man who introduced himself as Anonymous and had the same face as Kim Joo-hyuk, Unmyung smiled and answered.
“of course. “I don’t know when it will happen, but I’ve been waiting for this moment.”
“You were waiting?”
“Yes, the reason why I remained as a remnant on this sword in the first place was because ‘I’ would come find me someday.”
As Nameless said that, he sat down on the chair next to the table and opened his mouth.
“Now then, shall we listen to the question right away? What are you curious about? “I have a lot of time, so I’ll take my time and explain everything one by one.”
Anonymous question.
At that moment, Kim Joo-hyuk felt numerous questions popping up in his head.
Among them, I asked what I was most curious about at the moment.
“Sword name.”
“Sword name?”
“Why on earth did you name your sword something like that?”
It’s about the name of the sword.
Kim Joo-hyuk actually expressed his curiosity as to why the name of the sword became Gaebingsin and asked Unknown.
He tilted his head for a moment, wondering what the question was.
“Oh, that’s it.”
He soon nodded as if he understood.
“It sure might be a little absurd.”
“Was my naming sense in the past this destructive?”
“Naming sense… … Well, I guess you’re talking about something like a sense of names, but first of all, if I were to conclude, I guess my senses weren’t that bad, right?”
“But why did you name the sword something like that?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Moo-myeong made a “mmmm” expression and spoke.
“Well, it’s not that big of a deal. To give you a little context, when I tried to use this sword’s abilities, I had to give it a name in order to use its abilities, so I gave it a name.”
“however?”
“But no matter what name I gave it, it didn’t respond.”
“… … so?”
“So, I called random names for about five hours and there was no response, you stupid sword! And I cursed… … .”
“… … “That was the name because you liked the sword?”
“answer.”
“This is crazy… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the white sword he was holding with a puzzled expression.
