The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 920 (920/1020)
I looked up at the sky.
The sun was setting and the sunset was gradually taking over the sky.
I felt it last time too, but time passes really slowly.
It should have been well into the night by now, but I could only now clearly feel it as I saw the sunset.
‘Then, before it becomes night, there is still… .’
It feels like it would take about two hours. I think it would take about that long.
It has to be that much before night comes.
Honey, I was checking some information before the moon rose.
There were things I learned along the way.
-Volcano? Where is that?
-I think I’ve heard of it… Was there a place like that?
In the first place, most people don’t even know where a volcano is.
-Oh, why aren’t they there? They’re swordsmen who go around doing mercenary work.
-Ahh… That half penny… .
-Oh my!
Even though I know, I don’t think I’m thinking very clearly.
‘mercenary?’
I had a strange feeling, so I looked into it.
Then, one of the questions I had was answered.
-What, a mercenary? What is a mercenary?
-Where are you from that you are asking that?
Those who had been looking at me suspiciously for a moment nodded their heads as if they understood what I was wearing.
-Ah… I guess you’re a volcano or something.
When I asked how he knew, the man with deer ears answered as if asking what I was asking.
-The only people in the Yawol Palace who wear clothes like yours are the Hwasan people.
I get that, but I wondered what that had to do with what I noticed.
I asked about this too.
-Well, that’s the place where most mercenary work is done in Yawol, so I thought you were a newcomer. Or not?
First of all, I said it was correct.
Then the man pointed to a place.
It was a large building that could be seen from afar. It had four floors and, as expected, was a building somewhat different from the central one.
Seeing this, I approached it.
I examined the building itself without going in or getting close to it, hiding my presence.
I can feel several people inside.

As I gradually grasped it, I felt energy flowing through my five senses, especially my hearing.
-This time too… .
-Death penalty, that part… .
-Next time, I will speak to Jang Moon-in as well… .
After hearing that, I turned back. There was no need to hear any more.
‘Over there.’
Even just listening to their brief conversation, I could tell they were two great disciples doing different things.
What are you doing?
I would have liked to find out more about it.
‘Well, I know the location.’
That was enough for now. After I finished figuring it out, I turned around.
I jumped up in a short leap and reached the top of a tall building.
Beyond the brightly spread out field of vision, the shape of the Yawol Palace comes into view.
“Hmm.”
I gained a lot of things besides the awareness and information of the Volcano Sect.
First things first.
-This place is ruled by a general named Liu Shi.
There are four generals under the Lord of the World, each with their own country.
And the guy named Yusa is in charge of the Yawol Palace.
Below that, there are four families called nobles.
The families were in white, blue, gold, and black.
Among these, the white one was the one where the Baekul we met earlier belonged.
I thought you said you were in charge of a portion of the Yawol Palace’s forces and a few stores?
‘So, you’re saying that you made a contract with the volcano and that it will provide you with food on a regular basis.’
This is what Baekul did to make things worse.
Even though I had already paid the original contracted amount, did you say that you wouldn’t send it if I didn’t pay more on the same day?
Of course, it was something that could not have happened originally and was worth discussing.
‘It seemed like that guy Baekul was actually intending to do that.’
If you want, go ahead and cancel the contract. If you want, I’ll even give you a penalty.
Try as you may, that was the guy’s attitude.
Should I just cancel the contract?
and.
‘That guy Gubong is like that too.’
It also bothers me that I called him a black night when I saw him. It’s like we know each other.
‘If you look at it that way, it seems like there’s something… .’
Advertisements
What is the connection between the two? I didn’t delve too deeply into this part because it wasn’t particularly important.
If you want it in the first place, you can just torture Gubong to get it later, so it won’t be that difficult.
The important thing here is.
‘Do we really have to go to that White House to get groceries?’
Just hearing the words, Noya’s volcano seemed quite out of favor.
It seemed that the reason he was struggling and unable to break up even after hearing such insults from Baek-ul was also because of that.
At least we signed a contract here.
What this means is that we are in a situation where we can’t even think about doing business with other places… .
‘Hmm… .’
He kept rolling his head with his eyes narrowed.
‘What should I do?’
I just wanted to do it moderately.
‘I guess Noya sent this knowing all this.’
The gentleman who told me to go and look and think about it myself must have predicted this to some extent and sent me there.
also.
‘Just looking isn’t the end.’
While you’re at it, why don’t you pay for some food?
I could clearly feel that intention.
It’s a delusion, but I’m half sure of it.
‘Shin Noya can’t enter another castle. This part is where it gets weird.’
So you think Noya doesn’t know anything? Gubong’s words are still funny when I think about them again.
‘There’s no way I wouldn’t know.’
Noya must have known. Or he must have expected it and that’s why he sent me.
Ask them to come and check the status on your behalf. Or.
‘Please solve it.’
It was truly a wind of weakness.
Even I, who am saying this to do that, am saying the same thing.
‘But I’m sorry… .’
I think about the houses sparkling under the sunset and the crowds of people.
‘I think it will be difficult to solve?’
It’s difficult to do anything right now.
There would be no aftereffects from destroying that guy named Baekul, after all.
I looked towards the entrance of the castle and chuckled.
‘It’s not that it doesn’t exist. It’s already happening.’
The place they entered. There was something strange there.
Advertisements
-Stop! Entry is prohibited from now on!
The gatekeepers stop those who are just passing through.
Perhaps it was to prevent people from carrying food from the volcano? That was my guess.
There could be other reasons, though. Well?
Sigh.
I got up.
‘Okay, then.’
What should I do?
Should I just leave it? That doesn’t seem too difficult.
If you go back to Noya’s Volcano and see what you see, there won’t be much of a problem.
‘I guess I’m somewhat responsible.’
Even though Gubong’s words were shit, if I had actually endured it, nothing bad would have happened.
Honey, it’s a bit difficult to just ignore it.
‘hmm.’
At that moment, I was standing still, thinking about a method.
-Get out of the way!
A sound was heard from the east.
-The family is moving! Make way!-!!
When I looked around, I saw several people moving in a group.
There are about six people.
He didn’t ride a carriage or a horse. He just walked along the road.
The destination is directional….
‘It looks like there’s a volcano there.’
An old building in a corner of that alley.
It was a place where the disciples of the Hwasan faction gathered.
Flutter-!
The flag that the person was carrying. I looked at it intently.
‘That pattern.’
A fang-shaped design painted in white.
I wondered where I had seen it before, and it turned out to be the same pattern drawn on the clothes that Baekul was wearing.
Recognizing this, I looked at the being walking in front.
He is a white-haired man with a large physique.
Rough muscles, prominent ears and tail. Just like Baekul had.
If there’s anything else.
‘It’s just a different dimension?’
Advertisements
The presence of Baekul and the author were like heaven and earth.
Of course, compared to Gubong.
The quality was just different.
‘You can count on one hand the number of people who come here and see it.’
That’s a little funny.
Even if you look at it, you might wonder how much you’ve seen to be able to judge it… but it means that he’s that great.
and.
‘Is that him?’
It’s similar to Baekul, but has a much higher presence.
And the atmosphere and subtle momentum that it exudes.
A fairly high-ranking figure in the White Family.
In particular, I thought it might be the head of the household.
‘That guy is moving in that direction.’
The intention is obvious.
This must be the situation that Gubong was worried about and that I was desperately hoping for.
‘hmm.’
I nodded my head as I watched the situation.
Now, what should we really do?
‘Just show up?’
That seems a little risky.
That guy named Baekul is like that too. I haven’t yet properly confirmed what kind of influence he would have if I messed with him.
No matter how bad my temper is, it could be dangerous to directly attack him in this situation.
Above all else.
‘I’m just wearing the clothes of a volcano. I’m not a volcano fan.’
Any further intervention as a volcano would be problematic.
‘then….’
After thinking for a moment, I opened my eyes wide.
‘Can’t it be anything but a volcano?’
As long as it’s not a volcano, it’s fine.
That too.
‘A third party that no one knows about.’
Wouldn’t that be okay?
I thought about it that far and smiled, putting my hand in my bosom.
It seemed like it would be fun after a long time.

“Is this it?”
The head of the White House.
Baekwol took a step forward and stopped in front of an alley.
At those words, the servant behind him nodded with a nervous expression.
“… That’s right. I heard that it’s been seen a lot here.”
“Hmm.”
Baekwol heard the words and smiled, showing his fangs.
I felt disgusted the moment I saw it. It was a dark and murky alley.
Not only is it disorganized here and there, but bugs can be seen peeking through the cracks in the collapsed walls.
It’s ugly and disgusting.
It was a place where those who were just plain rascals would stay. Baekwol slowly walked towards that place.
There were guys here.
Unlike the people I serve, they are incompetent, ugly, and half-baked.
‘Disgusting things.’
Those who lacked both power and potential dared to touch his bloodline. Baekwol found that so funny.
That those who don’t even know the subject are touching the blood of the nobles.
Even my stupid son who got defeated by that bastard.
‘I need to change my thinking a little.’
As the eldest, I was thinking of slowly preparing to hand over the position, but seeing this made me change my mind a little.
If I was going to lose to these guys, I thought it would be better to give the position to another child.
That’s how it should be.
That way, I won’t upset the general’s feelings.
Baekwol thought about that and reached out to the alley wall, just slowly touching it with his fingers.
Kkwaduk-!
The tips of his fingers dug into the wall so nonchalantly.
Kwagagagagak—!!!
As you walk along, five lines are drawn on the wall.
The shape is like that of a wild beast scratching roughly.
This was also Baekwol’s way of expressing his anger.
The people behind them trembled in fear as they looked at the white moon.
When my master shows up like that, the group is torn apart and disappears like a horse that day.
Something is going to happen today too, I’m dying.
And those, after all, will be volcanic beings.
The users are confident of that.
“… Hmm?”
Advertisements
Baekwol suddenly stopped in the middle of the alley.
At the same time, the hand that was drawing the wall is retrieved.
“Who are you?”
The blue eyes of Baekwol look straight ahead.
It was strangely dark. It was so alien.
The space, which should have gradually darkened, suddenly became dark as if a line had been drawn.
It’s not like the light doesn’t reach that far, so what on earth is that?
Even in this strange situation, Baekwol just laughed ferociously.
“What a ridiculous prank.”
Krrrrrr.
A low beastly roar was heard from Baekwol’s mouth.
“Is it a volcano? Are they the volcano guys?”
Baekwol’s blue eyes shine as if he is already certain.
“Do you know who I am and why you’re blocking my way? Show yourself right now.”
He grips his hands tightly as if he’s going to break everything.
Baekwol, who had gained a lot of momentum, soon spoke to the darkness again.
“I am the head of the White House. White…”
[Quiet.]
“…!”
Baekwol’s mouth closed in an instant with a voice heard in the darkness.
It wasn’t my will. Baekwol was embarrassed and touched his mouth. What happened?
The moment when Baekwol was embarrassed.
[I was just enjoying the quiet. Don’t be so noisy.]
Thump.
Someone appeared in the darkness along with a voice that continued.
[I don’t care who you are.]
Baekwol frowned at him.
It’s not a volcano.
It wasn’t the clothes they were wearing.
It was a pitch-black outfit with no color added.
His long black hair and the black ears and tail attached to his head made it clear that he was a member of the Moonlight Tribe.
The only shining purple eyes beyond the cracked mask.
Baekwol saw that and said with a smile on his face.
“…Who are you…?”
The leisure I had before is gone.
It can’t be helped. From that guy… .
‘What? I can’t feel anything.’
It’s so amazing that I can’t feel anything.
Advertisements
Is it possible for something to be so colorless and odorless?
As Baekwol thought about that, his face gradually became distorted.
[I am the darkness born of heaven and the son of the ten thousand worlds.]
He said.
[It’s a heavenly demon.]
When Baekwol heard those words, jealousy flashed in his eyes.
