<Episode 200> Pilgrim’s Pearl. (2)
Pilgrim’s Beads. (2)
The front lines are a sign of disaster.
It is proof of the history that happened in the past.
The peace that many people say has just been achieved is in fact not complete.
It was evidence.
And the unclosed magic gate.
An area scorched by monsters.
This is a place where a normal person would not be able to live.
It was also a dangerous area teeming with countless monsters.
The Murim Alliance claims that it will further reduce damage.
For several years, I have been working with these men and the unmanned personnel of the political faction to control the front line.
I was doing it.
Coincidentally, the front line was not too far from Shanxi.
After receiving the letter from Gu Hee-bi, Elder Lee arrived immediately.
I could do it.
“There are definitely cracks.”
A huge open gate to the magic world opens before your eyes.
Unlike other places, this place is managed directly by only the main figures of the Gu family.
It was.
And, only the Gu family was granted and managed this specific area.
“How did this elder come here…?”
It has been a month since Elder Lee arrived at the front line, where Gu Hee-bi is.
Gu Hee-bi, who returned late after dealing with the monsters on the other side, looked at this elder and asked,
It was.
Elder Lee burst into laughter as he looked at Gu Hee-bi.
“Hee-bi, didn’t you call your old man? Your pretty granddaughter called you, and this old man
“You have to come right now!”
“•••I asked to call a specialist because I was experiencing unusual symptoms.”
“That’s why the old man came! If we’re talking about experts, it has to be this guy, Gu-ryun.”
At first glance, it seemed like he had used a number to escape from the three houses.
It’s amazing how a gentleman like Elder can act like that.
‘I’m afraid my little brother will cry after seeing that…’
“Huh? What did you say?”
“It’s nothing. Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule, Elder Lee.”

Whatever the situation, this elder was actually an expert.
Even if it was only a weapon, it would be helpful if it was an unmanned unit that had reached Hwagyeong, so there was no way it wouldn’t be helpful.
all.
“By the way…”
Elder Lee stroked his beard as he looked at the demonic realm before his eyes.
“This is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”
The magic mirror, which is a mixture of various colors, sways in an unknowable way.
This is normal.
What was before my eyes was different.
Of course, the color has changed to a deep black.
Cracks were appearing all around, as if gold had been broken.
“Are the doors in other regions like this?”
“No. It’s just this one.”
“•••Hoo.”
There are three places that the Guga manages separately from the front line.
This was the place with the smallest magic gate among them.
“Are there any other problems?”
“There hasn’t been any change in color yet, and there are cracks appearing around the edges.”
The elder nodded after hearing Gu Hee-bi’s explanation.
“I guess I should report to the head of the household separately. Maybe it’s time for the True Demonic Realm to open.
“That could be the case.”
“There was no contact from Shaolin?”
“Even if Cheonan didn’t mention it, we can’t help but prepare for the unexpected.
“No, no.”
Shaolin. It’s not like you can just trust Cheonan.
The elder did not say anything further.
■How strange.’
I’ve been feeling like inexplicable things have been happening a lot lately.
As the saying goes, good things and bad things happen at the same time.
The family troublemaker who was the cause of Elder Lee’s worries and concerns.
He soared, awakening his dormant talent.
Before I knew it, I had climbed over the wall and joined the ranks of the experts.
If the guy wants, he can stand out in the non-armed world and gain fame as well.
It will be.
■I told you to come after causing an accident, but I’m still worried.
Advertisements
It was something I regretted, not just a little.
To a guy who keeps hitting even when I tell him not to. I told him to hit and come cause an accident.
all.
“that….”
While Elder Lee was lost in thought.
Gu Hee-bi called the elder in a quiet voice.
Elder Lee looked at Gu Hee-bi and answered without hesitation.
“Yangcheon is doing well.”
“..class!”
At Elder Lee’s words, Gu Hee-bi’s expression changed strangely. It was as if she was asking how he knew.
As if it were said.
“Isn’t that what you were going to ask?”
“No….”
Elder Lee clicked his tongue as he looked at Gu Hee-bi, who had an embarrassed expression.
That kid was also a total disaster.
In the Central Plains, there was already a rumor that the hair of the Queen Dowager Gu Hee-bi was quite dirty.
But.
When it comes to my younger brother, people change.
“Don’t worry about that. How long are you going to protect Yangcheon when you’re not even his parent?
“I can’t hold it in my arms.”
“What are you saying now when you are the one who sold Yangcheon the most?”
“That’s what happens when a child is still unconscious.”
“My little brother still has the app.”
That’s true.
I keep forgetting about it because the things I’ve been doing these days are so childish.
Guyangcheon was still at an age where it was difficult to even call him a young man.
But the elder did not bend his opinion.
“It means that if a child has flown up, he or she should be released, as he or she will become the head of a household one day.
”
“ ”
Gu Hee-bi also seemed to understand this, but she didn’t say anything else.
It looks like this.
It is a confirmed story that Guyangcheon will become the head of the household.
However, Gu Yeon-seo, the second daughter of the head of the household, seemed to think differently.
It wasn’t like their thoughts were different.
Advertisements
Even if it is not Guyangcheon’s own thoughts, it is all the same.
No matter how talented and outstanding Gu Hee-bi is,
There is no substitute for Guyangcheon.
She probably knows that too.
To begin with, Gu Hee-bi herself had no desire for Gaju.
Goo Hee-bi said that she would rather run out of the house than live with such a shameful thing.
It was a thought.
“I just hope that kid doesn’t have to carry heavy loads.”
“I would say the same thing, but I can’t do it for you.”
That’s the kind of karma a family has.
I can be there, but I can’t listen with you.
The same can be said of the current owner, Gu Cheol-woon.
He silently accepted the burden on his shoulders.
“What you are doing now, in the end, will turn out to be that child’s job.”
“I know.”
Just until then.
I just want my little brother to be comfortable.
As if he had read Gu Hee-bi’s thoughts, Elder Lee spoke to her in a dejected voice.
“•••How about sharing some of that feeling with Yeonseo?”
“Yes? We are enjoying it together.”
Guyangcheon-do, Guyeonseo-do, and Guryonghwa-do.
Goo Hee-bi was giving love in a normal way.
When Gu Hee-bi made a face as if asking why he was saying such a thing, the elder nodded.
I had no choice but to cry.
‘No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to be the case.’
Elder Lee was very impressed by the difference in Gu Hee-bi’s attitude towards Gu Yang-cheon and Gu Yeon-seo.
I could have known better.
Gu Yeon-seo also knows that very well, so she looked at Gu Yang-cheon with a bad eye.
Maybe.
“We exchange letters often. It seems like we’re doing well.”
“•••That, no. It’s done.”
If I brought it up any further, it was obvious that the conversation would just go nowhere.
The elder decided to just let it go.
While observing the condition of the magic gate a little more, Gu Hee-bi adds her words.
“I don’t have any children, so I hope I don’t get into any accidents when I go to Hanam.”

Elder Lee responds in a bewildered manner to the words that are spoken with concern.
“•••Hee-bi, haven’t you been in a lot of accidents when you went there?”
How shocked I was when I heard the news that the Yongbong branch was almost turned into a sea of fire.
Why else would the blunt head of the Gu family have taken Gu Hee-bi and scolded her?
It was.
At this, Gu Hee-bi protested as if it was unfair.
“•••I just helped you out because you kept nagging without even knowing the topic.”
“When you heard that they had burned all the hair on your head, did your heart sink?”
“Since I was already burning everything, I should have sent Shaolin.”
“•••Who on earth do you take after to have such a personality… Wait a minute.”
The elder, who had been sighing and lamenting, stopped talking when he noticed something strange in the conversation.
Got it.
Then he looked at Gu Hee-bi and asked.
“But how do you know that Yangcheon Lee went to Hanam?”
“.••!”
“I haven’t told you that news yet, have I?”
Gu Hee-bi showed a rare look of bewilderment at the elder’s sharp words.
He avoided the gaze that had been focused on him, and a line of cold sweat appeared on his cheek.
all.
“… Hee-bi-ya?”
“That’s not it. I just think it might be like that…!”
Goo Hee-bi started to speak as if she was trying to explain herself urgently, but she had to keep her mouth shut.
I had to roll on the floor because of this elder’s sudden touch.
thud!
“Elder Lee…! This is now…!”
Gu Hee-bi, who had barely managed to find her bearings from a distance, looked at Elder Lee and then
My body froze.
Because darkness has fallen over the dry land.
It was a truly sudden appearance, to the point where you could wonder if it had existed originally.
What’s more, such an ominous sign.
Gu Hee-bi couldn’t feel the movement until the moment it appeared. It was like that.
He said that he only just noticed the presence of Korea now.
What would have happened if Elder Lee hadn’t pushed and protected him right away?
A chill runs down my shoulders and spine.
Goo Hee-bi immediately tried to draw her sword, but her frozen body would not listen.

I see light in that vast darkness.
This elder was radiating heat.
The flesh, reddened by the heat, gave the illusion of being surrounded by flames.
It’s called that.
The presence that was squeezing even Gu Hee-bi’s breathing was barely hidden by the energy of Elder Lee.
I was able to rest.
As this elder was burning with heat and raising speculation, a voice was heard
all.
“It’s been a while, Yeom Ah-kwon.”
This is what the man shrouded in darkness said to the elder.
The elder looks at the man and cracks his teeth.
“•••Why are you here?”
“I didn’t know you were here.”
“Hey you!”
The elder’s shout echoed throughout the area.
The floor that is still begins to crack and fall.
The elder’s steel-like body swelled and even the fire-breathing Gu Hee-bi felt the heat.
The heat began to build up around me to the point where I could feel it.
“Surely you promised not to show that disgusting face anymore?”
The man was silent for a moment at the elder’s words, but then quickly smiled.
“Ah, that was that bad promise. I’ve decided to break it now, I have too much work to do.”
“•••What?
99
The man looked around as if he didn’t care about the elder’s question.
The man’s eyes, which had been looking around like that, turned to Gu Hee-bi.
The man who discovered Gu Hee-bi smiled brightly.
“Found it.”
In black eyes, not a single dot of light or dark is visible.
Like the darkness surrounding him, the man’s eyes were eerie.
When Gu Hee-bi vaguely realizes that her purpose in the story is herself.
The elder extended his fist.
Kuuung!
With one punch from Elder Lee, the surrounding area is swept away.
It was a force strong enough to change the shape of the terrain with just one blow.
The heavy aura of the unmanned body that touched the mirror spread out along with the heat and attacked the man.

though.
a
“Ugh!”
Before the fist closes, the darkness of the man covers the man and the elder.
As such, the disaster that arose was so sudden.
-And in the end, you couldn’t keep Hee-bi.
These are the words the elder left me with at the end of his explanation.
The expression on the elder’s face when he finished speaking was so desperate that he couldn’t say anything.
It was.
‘•••The princess appeared on the front lines?’
The Black Night Princess, famous for not moving from her main palace.
A martial art that seems to be surrounded by darkness.
It was clearly a characteristic of the martial arts used by the Black Night Princess.
I’ve only heard of it, so I’ve never actually seen it.
‘That being said, why the joy and sorrow?’
There is a story that the Black Night Princess herself showed up and took Gu Hee-bi away.
It was.
Secondly, it is something that has never happened in a previous life.
Because of that, the elder almost died.
My father even went out to the market himself, carrying a sword.
‘I don’t even know why…’
It was a really bad situation.
Because there is nothing to know.
[That’s why I couldn’t ask anything.]
‘•••Because it’s not a situation where you can drink water.’
What happened to the letter of recommendation from the Emperor? And what about the ring?
There were many things I wanted to ask, such as why on earth it was like that.
Thinking about the expression and atmosphere that Elder Lee had just made, there is nothing I can ask.
There was none.
‘About the nine-part leaves ••.’

I wanted to see how things were going outside.
That wasn’t possible right away.

‘It wouldn’t be that dangerous even if the other elders moved.’
The problem was the current situation where I had to stay still.
[Why can’t you just leave?]
As Shin Noya said, it was possible to break through right away.
My air wasn’t blocked, nor was my body tied up with restraints.
Because it’s just for show under the director’s words.
Anyway, it was true that he killed the elder.
Until the justification for doing so becomes clear.
Or maybe it had to be like this until my father returned.
The formation that the elders planted underground was very strong.
It won’t be easy, especially since Gu-ga’s current power is relatively low.
It didn’t seem like it would take that long though.
‘I wonder how the kids are doing.’
As soon as we returned to Sega together, something happened and I couldn’t even see his face properly.
According to Elder Lee, Wi Seol-ah cries every day.
It seems like Wi Seol-ah laughs a lot, but also cries a lot.
I was more worried because I didn’t cry as much as I thought.
Wouldn’t Namgung Bi and Dang So-yeol just stay quiet?
I really hope so.
“The problem above all else is….”
My father said he dragged the body out, but it was questionable whether he would ever be found.
all.
The information I currently know about the Black Palace is limited.
Even then, there was little talk about location.
Even the main shrine, which is known to some, is not called the main palace.
As of now, it’s almost like useless information.
In the past, I only heard that the Black Night Palace was destroyed by the Murim Alliance.
am.
‘How can I…?’
I tossed and turned, wondering what to do about this.
It was already dawn, and it would be better to do some deep meditation instead.
It seemed like it would get better.
It was already too dark to concentrate.
Could it be because I tossed and turned for so long?
The pouch that had been tied around his waist fell to the floor with a thud.
It looked like the rope that had tied it was worn out rather than tossing and turning.

When I tried to pick up the gold bag again, a marble rolled out of the bag.
Russia comes out.
It was a small bead with a crimson tint.
“Ah, this is.”
As soon as I saw the beads, I remembered.
It was clearly something that Gu Hee-bi had tied to her waist and told her to carry around with her.
I carried it around with me without knowing it because they said I would die if I left it behind.
By now I had even forgotten that I had this thing attached to my belt.
I tried to catch the rolling marble, but my hands trembled and I stopped.
“•••Tsk.”
Because blood was flowing out of my hand along with a stinging pain.
It’s probably a wound from the battle with Iljangro, but it’s only now that it’s over and I can see it
It’s been cooked.
It wasn’t that deep, so I ignored it and picked up the marble.
“It looks expensive considering you bought it from a peddler.”
[That’s right. It doesn’t seem to be cheap.]
It was too beautiful to be called a cheap gemstone.
I looked at the beads for a moment and tried to put them back in my pocket.
yes-
“hmm?
99
[huh?]
A strange sound was heard from the marble, and it began to vibrate rapidly.
Jiiing-!
“Why is he like this again…?”
I was about to throw the marble far away in a hurry, thinking it might explode.
The bead briefly emitted a faint light, then quickly stopped moving as if nothing had happened.
It was.
I looked at the beads and said in a disbelieving voice.
“•••What on earth did this crazy person buy?”
You said it was a lucky charm, but it’s actually a vibrating bead. What the heck?
Are you talking about a broken item?
It was a creepy feeling, knowingly or unknowingly.
I click my tongue once and try to put the marble back in the bag. I turn my eyes.
I just stopped in my tracks.
“uh?”
Visible to the eye…
