◈ Episode 264: Since when did my disciples become (2)
Black dream.
Those who have heard that name even once could never smile when they hear it.
That’s because Black Dream was already a group that had built up a huge notoriety in this world.
Of course, I don’t know if their activities have any special cause or any special beliefs.
However, people who know the Black Dream know only one thing about the group.
That is, if you are captured by ‘Dark Dream’, you will die unconditionally.
Whether the target person is lowly or noble.
Even if the target is not a person but a group, or even a village beyond the group, the moment the black dream points out, nothing that has been targeted will survive.
Only that one simple fact was recognized by those who knew the dark dream.
Therefore, even though it had been quite a long time since Heukmong went into hiding in a place called Goesan and ceased his activities, most people still remembered Heukmong.
It was the same with Zhong Liquan.
“Hmm… … .”
Zhong Liquan savoring a drink while leisurely enjoying the scenery in one of his secret abodes.
But after a while, he opened his mouth, still not taking his eyes off the scenery.
“There are quite a lot of people visiting me these days.”
A word from Zhong Liquan.
Soon a man behind him appeared.
A man with wolf-like pointy ears on top of his head and a wry smile.
“Ah… … .”
“It’s been a while, Shinseon.”
The man who answers Zhong Liquan’s words… … No, Arang.
Zhong Liquan immediately turned around completely, looked at Arang who had suddenly appeared, and spoke.
“I knew the black dream was moving, but I didn’t know it would move so progressively.”
If there is nothing special going on, Zhong Liquan enjoys drinking and staying in one of the secret shelters he has created all day.
However, this did not mean that his intelligence was lacking, so Zhong Liquan was aware of what Black Meng had done recently.
Killing a total of five Labyrinth Lords. “Huh…” … .”
In fact, Zhong Liquan definitely had to make a move regarding that matter.
From the beginning, the Labyrinth Lord and the Watchman had a symbiotic relationship.
The more the Lord of the Labyrinth disappears, the more the watchman’s work disappears.
Therefore, Zhong Liquan had been thinking of meeting Black Dream at least once.
In the end, his current occupation was that of a watchman.
“I saved you from having to come and search for me in person, but do you want to tell me why?”
Zhong Liquan talking while holding a glass of wine.
Arang still spoke with a sly smile on his face.
“Of course there is.”
“?”
“Why do you look so surprised?”
“No, I didn’t think you had any intention of saying anything. You guys haven’t said a single word since a while, right?”
Zhong Liquan recalled the past.
As they dealt with their target, they simply killed and destroyed their target in silence, even as the other party struggled to understand why they were killing them.
“Well, actually, if that were going to be the case, I wouldn’t have come here.”
As I was thinking that, I heard a voice.
“then?”
“It’s simple. The reason we moved was because the five Labyrinth Masters were conspiring with the sealed Avatar.”
“… … “The Lord of the Labyrinth conspired with Hwashin?”
“That’s right. There is no reason beyond that. That’s it. “That was the only order we received in the first place.”
Arang said that while still maintaining a wry smile, and Zhong Liquan, who thought about it for a moment, nodded as if he understood.
“… … “That’s how it happened.”
“Yes.”
“Then why did you come to me? “I don’t think you came to me just to tell me that story.”
Arang responded to Zhong Liquan’s words.
“Oh, that’s no big deal. Just, what should I say. “I came here to give you some sort of warning.”
“… … “Warning?” “Yes, warning. I think it would be good if you could control the guards so they don’t attack us. “It wouldn’t be so bad if there were additional watchmen on our side.”
“I’m sorry, but I am not the representative of the Watchmen. “In the first place, watchmen are individuals.”
“Well, that’s what you say, right. To put it simply, just-”
Arang narrowed his eyes and spoke.
“-Please don’t interfere with our mission.”
“… … .”
There was silence for a moment, but Arang closed his eyes again and spoke with a wry smile.
“We are so foolish that we think we have to listen to what the captain says even if it costs us all death.”
“… … “Let me remember.”
“And one more thing.”
“… … one more?”
“As I said a little while ago, I think it would be quite helpful if the watchmen were attached to this side. Don’t you plan on doing that?”
“As I said before, I would have said I was an individual. “I don’t have the power to gather watchmen.”
Zhong Liquan’s words.
Arang didn’t say anything more, just raised the corners of his mouth and smiled once, then shrugged his head and turned away as if there was nothing he could do.

“Well, I’ve finished talking about this, so I’ll go back.”
The story tried to disappear immediately, as if it were over.
“ah.”
As if something suddenly occurred to him, he looked back at Zhong Liquan again and spoke.
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“… … ask?”
“Yes, I have a simple request for you.”
After saying that, Arang turned again to look at Zhong Liquan and spoke.
“Go to him and say just one word. “Your disciple is still with you.”
“… … !”
He looks very surprised by Arang’s words.
However, Arang spoke without erasing his smile.
“I would like to tell you, but the captain told me never to do that.” “… … In the end, isn’t it the same thing if I tell it?”
“Anyway, that’s not what I told you.”
Jong Li-kwon looks at Arang with an expression that says, “Huh.”
“Please be kind to me.”
However, Arang turned around and disappeared, as if he was truly done with what he had to say.
“… … .”
Feeling the countless signs that had disappeared along with him, Zhong Liquan sighed lightly and then turned around again.
“… … “Is that really what happened?”
He nodded as if he understood something.
“I guess I need to move.”
Zhong Liquan immediately poured the alcohol he was holding into his mouth and muttered that.

After taking exactly one day of rest, Kim Joo-hyuk asked the guide.
“So, where should I go this time?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide spoke to him.
“Deep in the forest where no one’s eyes can reach.”
“… … “In the woods?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide shook his head and spoke.
“No, ‘deep in the forest where no one’s eyes can reach.’”
“… … “No, is that itself a proper noun?”
The guide nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“that’s right. “It wasn’t originally, but it became a proper noun because of a man who lived there.”
“What should I do there?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide was silent for a moment and spoke as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“Oh, by the way, you said you already met, right? “In Kalpa.”
“In Kalpa… … ?”Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the time when he told his guide about what happened in Kalpa, and after thinking about it, he spoke about the thought that came to his mind.
“Oh, you really mean Parashurama?”
“that’s right.”
“… … “Isn’t Parashurama also being sealed?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide nodded and spoke.
“that’s right. “He is also sealed.”
“Ah, then your goal is to go to the forest where Parashurama is and bring back something?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
But the guide shook his head.
“No, I’m not going there and bringing anything back this time.”
“… … then?”
The guide opened his mouth at Kim Joo-hyuk’s questioning expression.
“You must go this time and meet the sealed Parashurama. To be more precise, we must overcome that sealed Parashurama.”
“… … “No, wait a minute, you have to beat him?”
Kim Joo-hyuk looks a little embarrassed.
The guide opened his mouth as if to say not to worry.
“I know what you’re thinking, but on the other hand, this is the quickest and surest way to retrieve your memories.”
“… … “I haven’t found my strength, so is it possible to deal with the Avatars?”
“To be honest, it would be difficult for you to defeat the Avatars in your current state.”
“… … But now you want me to beat Parashurama?”
“Of course I will not mindlessly send you to defeat Parashurama. “I have all my thoughts.”
The guide said so and began to explain his plan to Kim Joo-hyuk step by step.
By the time the story is all over.
Ugh-!
Suddenly, a paper door appeared in the middle of Lord Labyrinth’s office.
Tak! At the same time, the person who opened the paper door and appeared was none other than Jong Li-kwon.
“… … Zhongli Quan?”
“It’s been a while.”
Jong Ri-kwon responded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
He immediately looked around, looked at the guide sitting across from Kim Joo-hyuk, and tilted his head for a moment.
“uh… … uh?”
Immediately, I looked at the guide with a surprised expression.
“Da, by any chance?”
“long time no see. “Young hermit.”
A guide who laughs and talks at Zhong Liquan’s stuttering words.
Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head and looked at Jong Li-kwon, who was called the young immortal.
Even at first glance, Zhong Liquan has a beard and is now beyond middle age and is moving towards old age.
As he looked at that figure and the guide, Kim Joo-hyuk realized something again.
“… … When you think about it-”
“Until there.”
Kim Joo-hyuk tried to open his mouth, but the cold sound that followed immediately forced Kim Joo-hyuk to close his mouth.
Although it was momentary, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the guide with a blank expression for a moment, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Kim Joo-hyuk soon looked at Zhong Li-quan and spoke.
“So, what’s going on?”
“ah… … ? “Oh, I see.”
Zhong Li-kwon also had a dazed expression for a moment, but then he seemed to come to his senses and belatedly cleared his throat, chuckling, and then looked at Kim Joo-hyuk and spoke.
“I came to tell you a story.”
“… … story?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Jong Li-kwon explained to Kim Joo-hyuk what they had asked him to say, starting with the dark dream that came to him.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who heard everything, answered with an expression as if he had just heard a puzzling quiz.
“So what you’re saying is that when I was out, my disciple was with me…” … “What do you mean?”
“exactly.”
“… … where?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked as if he was curious, Zhong Li-quan shook his head. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t hear that. Just to think about it, were there people you taught while you were in the labyrinth?”
“Of course there were, but they were all… … .”
When Kim Joo-hyuk muttered that and looked at the guide, she shook her head.
“As I checked, there were no former students of yours among those you brought in.”
“… … “Are there any other disciples besides them?”
As soon as the guide finished speaking, Zhong Liquan opened his mouth.
Kim Joo-hyuk thought about it for a moment.
“ah.”
Soon he realized that there were people he was looking after who had not yet come out of the labyrinth.
“There was.”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought of Yan Lang and Choi A-rin.
