[170] Eorumuri (1)
[It spews fire and burns when it touches… … . hmm. Fire-breathing monsters are widespread.]
Head to the graveside. Even if he went there, he probably wouldn’t feel very good about it, but Gwangcheonma wanted to see the tomb with his own eyes.
Seongmin Lee saw the back of Gwangcheonma walking ahead with a weak step.
The overall mood was the same for everyone.
In particular, Aladur was unable to open his mouth and remained silent because Gwangcheonma had teased him that the woman might have already died before arriving here.
[Well, if you really think about it… … . hmm… … . A huge body that breathes fire… … .]
Heoju was deep in thought.
Actually, there is no reason to look for that monster now.
At least for Lee Seong-min.
Pervas did not know how to control the magical power, and in order to find a villager who knew how to do so, he had to find the nine-tailed fox, not the monster that wiped out the villagers.
Because it was said that the nine-tailed fox took the surviving village warriors.
“I want revenge.”
Nevertheless, the reason he wanted to find the monster that killed the villagers was because of Gwangcheonma’s desire for revenge.
Even if it was a relationship from 10 years ago, the relationship in this village was quite precious to Gwangcheonma.
I never thought that I would leave the village, suffer from mania, and return to the village again.
It never occurred to me that everyone would have been murdered when I returned to the village.
Lee Seong-min sympathized with Gwangcheonma’s desire for revenge and, if possible, wanted to help Gwangcheonma get revenge.
This is because we have been traveling together with Gwangcheonma for almost a year, and we have heard a lot about it.
The grave was overgrown with weeds.
The only person in charge of it was Pervas, and since Pervas was also not of sound mind, the tomb was practically an abandoned place.
“… … “That’s the reason.”
Aladur let out a small voice.
The place Aladur pointed to was one of the tombs overgrown with weeds.
He wrinkled his nose and glanced at Gwangcheonma.
“The reason for that grave.”
“Thank you.”
Gwangcheonma answers in a stiff voice. With a shuffling gait, he stood in front of the tomb pointed to by Aladur.
No one knew what Gwangcheonma was thinking as he stood looking down at the tomb, and no one came forward to ask him.
[I don’t know. There are too many fire-breathing monsters… … . How about meeting that nine-tailed fox instead?]
Heoju, who had been lost in thought for a while, spoke up.
[If things go well when you meet the nine-tailed fox, won’t you be able to meet the tribesmen that the nine-tailed fox took with you? You will also be able to find out who the monster is that killed other tribesmen.]
It was impossible to just say that we should do that. The nine-tailed fox that Perbas spoke of is probably Yana, and Yana is a giant who rules the Eormuri. It was unknown whether Yana was connected to the Predator, but I couldn’t easily ask him to go see Yana, who was said to be hostile to humans after ripping out the heart of a red spirit.
[But isn’t there a need for that? You have to bear the risk.]
‘know.’
Seongmin Lee answered with bitterness. It was only when the sun was setting that Gwangcheonma turned around.
He said while fiddling with the bracelet he had in his arms.
“I plan to go to Eorumuri.”
“Good.”
Seongmin Lee nodded and said.
“I also plan to go to Eormuri.”
“I’m not going.”
Aladur said, trembling.
“Looking at what you guys are doing, I think you’ll end up getting involved with a nine-tailed fox or some other monster. “I don’t want to be fooled, so I’ll go home quietly.”
“Even if I give you more money?”
“Well, don’t make me say it again and again! No matter how good the money is, does it compare to the cost of your only life?”
“Then do whatever you want.”
Seongmin Lee nodded his head. I was reluctant to take Aladur by force.
I was guided to this place, and the clear destination of Eormuri was set, so there seemed to be no need to force Aladur, who said he didn’t want to, with me.
“Don’t feel too bad about it. You guys are such good people that they can’t be compared to you f*cking idiots… … . Still, I don’t want to go to Eormuri.”
Aladur said that as if he felt sorry for not being able to do so.
Seongmin Lee took out a large jewel from his subspace pocket and handed it to Aladur.
Aladur opened his eyes wide and looked at the jewel that Seongmin Lee gave him.
“… … “What is this?”
“A reward for leading me here.”
“… … “Sigh.”
Aladur groaned and stretched out both hands to receive the gem.
Although he was surprised by the weight of the heavy jewelry, he did not show the same money-minded snob as before.
Aladur, who was purring his thick lips, sighed deeply.
“… … Although I won’t go with you to Eormuri. Sigh… … .”
“Something?”
“It’s not just youkai that I won’t go to Eormuri. In the middle of nowhere… … . therefore. I have a teacher who taught me witchcraft. “If you hadn’t fallen, you would still be living there.”
As Aladur said that, he glanced at the Gwangcheonma who kept his mouth shut.
“I don’t know the location well, but… … . Because you are a member of Erebrisa. If you just know the name, you can somehow find it. My teacher’s name is Frau, so ask him carefully. If you meet the teacher and tell him that you came because you are friends with Aladur, he will treat you a little harshly, but he will be willing to grant you a few favors. “As long as you pay the price.”
“okay.”
Seongmin Lee nodded his head.
Aladur also seemed to feel sorry for being the first to fall into this matter.

Gwangcheonma glanced at Aladur’s face and bowed his head.
“Thank you.”
“thing… … . There is no need to say thank you. My mouth is free, ugh. “Your mouth is free.”
Aladur made a fuss as he smacked his thick lips.

left the village
Aladur said he would return alone to another reasonably sized village or city instead of Deven.
Seongmin Lee asked for information about Frau, the nine-tailed fox, and the fire-breathing monster through Naver.
[There is only one Nine-Tailed Fox. There are more youkai foxes… … . There is only one real nine-tailed fox with nine tails. It’s just Yana. Fire-breathing monsters are all too common… … . Frau knows.]
‘Are you in Eorumuri now?’
[yes. Frau is a particularly outstanding person among the many shamans in the south. We really wanted to have them as members, but we were repeatedly rejected.]
Information about Frau’s location flowed into Lee Seong-min’s head.
Likewise, information about Yana. Yana was a classic nine-tailed fox, a mutated form of a fox that lived long enough to gain magical powers.
It was true that Yana was ruling the current village, but that did not mean that Yana was doing anything on the surface.
It was a very different story from what I heard from Aladur.
[Yana is not hostile to humans. On the contrary, it is showing some favor.]
‘I heard that the number of people going missing is increasing recently?’
[hmm… … . That’s true. In fact, it’s not entirely Yana’s fault that something like that happened. This happens because Yana does not manage the other youkai.]
‘What do you mean?’
[Yana is a youkai who suddenly became famous a few years ago for pulling out the heart of a red spirit that had ruled the Eormuri for hundreds of years. Originally, in Eormuri, there were not only red demons but also many great monsters with great power. Even though they were under the enemy, they were holding their breath to strike the enemy in the back at any time. however… … . Yana suddenly appeared.]
It wasn’t just Lee Seong-min. Heo Joo also listened to Nevel’s story.
[Yana’s appearance was unconventional. The Red Demon could not resist Yana in any way and ripped out her heart and ran away. Until Yana appeared, the Red Demon was a monster that clearly ruled the Eoruri. Yana, who reigned over the Er group after the Red Demon, only ruled and did not control the other monsters. It was a different rule from the time of the Red Ghost. The Red Demon was holding down the group of monsters with force to prevent them from going wild. This was to prevent the monsters from eating humans and increasing their power through them.]
[I see what you mean.]
Heoju, who was listening to Nevel’s story, shook his head.
[But since Yana doesn’t do anything, it is now that the great monsters in the group have secretly started hunting humans to increase their power. As time passes, the number of humans disappearing from the world will increase.]
After saying that, Nevel made an audible sound as if he remembered something.
[Come to think of it. You said it was a giant fire-breathing monster, right? Even if it touches the body, it burns. Among the great youkai, there is one that has such characteristics. It is a monster named ‘Chuseong’.]
[Chuseong? It’s steel.]
‘Steel?’
[There are many different types of monsters. Chuseong is a monster called ‘Gangcheol-i’. They say that the Imoogi that failed to become a dragon is a mutated monster, hmm… … . When I saw this old man, he was just a short-tempered and ignorant snake. But 400 years have passed, so it may have become more plausible.]
[Chuseongdo is also located in Eorumuri. In case you don’t know, would you like to hear information about Chuseong?]
‘please.’
There was no guarantee that Chuseong was the monster that attacked the village, but it still seemed worth knowing.
While heading to Eorumuri, Gwangcheonma did not say much.
He meditated and checked his martial arts skills whenever he had time. Thanks to the Gwangcheon Horse, the mood of the group calmed down.
Luvia was paying attention to those around her, and Lee Seong-min also checked his martial arts skills with Gwangcheonma.
On the way, I received a call from Selgerus that processing the dragon’s scales and bones had failed.
In the end, in order to process and use the bones and scales he had, he had to go to the Dwarven Chief.
Three days after parting ways with Aladur.
There was a lot of confusion in sight.
Although it was night, the surroundings of Eorumuri were brightly lit as if it were not night.
[Eorumuri’s night is beautiful. Because youkai prefer the night rather than the day when the sun is up.]
Heoju mutters. Is there any need to wait until daylight? Heoju gave the answer to that question.
[If you want to fight a monster, it is wiser to go when the sun rises rather than at night.]
These are the words of the monster Heoju himself. In the end, I ended up sleeping on the street near Eormuri.
We lit a bonfire and prepared a meal, but Gwangcheonma did not sit down.
He glared at Eormuri with cold eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay.”
It was a question I had been asked several times on my way here, and this time Gwangcheonma gave the same answer.
Seongmin Lee looked at Gwangcheonma’s back as he nodded.
Gwangcheonma, who had been staring in the direction of Eorumuri for a while, came to sit by the fire.
“I’m sorry.”
“it’s okay.”
“… … It’s a shameful thing. “I can’t believe you’re so agitated.”
Gwangcheonma giggled and laughed.
Seongmin Lee doesn’t know what happened 10 years ago between Gwangcheonma and the dead village woman. He didn’t even ask for nothing.
“I never thought I would go back one day. It was a casual relationship. but… … . She came back and found that she had been murdered. So, I have to get revenge.”
Gwangcheonma spat out, glaring at the flames.
When it was early morning. Even though no one woke them up first, the group settled down as soon as the sun rose.
The morning of Eormuri, where bright lights twinkled all night, was quiet.
I approached the wide open castle gate, but there were no guards in sight.
There is no need for such a thing to exist in the first place. This is a city of monsters, not people.
The street seen through the castle gate was wide and long. Crossing between closed street vendors, Lee Seong-min organized the information in his head.
First, I planned to meet Frau, Aladur’s teacher.
I already heard from Nevel where Frau is.
“… … “Umm.”
Lee Seong-min looked embarrassed as he remembered Frau’s location.
The place where Frau was located was the brothel of Eormuri.
