<Episode 217> Prelude. (3)
Prelude. (3)
Wi Seol-ah had a dream for the first time in a long time.
I’ve had dreams like this often since I met ‘Sister’.
Today was a particularly vivid dream.
This is probably the most vivid dream I’ve had since that day.
‘Where is Seol? Where is it?’
By now, Wi Seol-ah had become somewhat accustomed to this hazy feeling.
I also felt like it wasn’t my body.
A view of the world from a third party’s perspective.
After several experiences, I can say that I don’t feel much of a sense of alienation anymore.
It was.
“Where are you?”
The above-mentioned Seol-ah reacts to someone’s voice.
What a beautiful voice.
Wi Seol-ah knew whose voice this was.
“•••I asked where you were.”
A woman who expresses her emotions without hiding them, seemingly calmly.
She had a beautiful face that resembled her voice.
However, contrary to her beautiful appearance.
The place she is is covered in dust.
It was a prison without any sunlight.
The walls were covered with traces of torture.
Just looking at the blood hardening gives me goosebumps.
I could tell it was a lie just from this.
This time again it was a nightmare.
As such, most dreams featuring that woman are nightmares for Wi Seol-ah.
Because people were often dying.
A woman kills someone.
Someone dies for a woman.
The world is falling apart.
In the gap, the woman silently swings her sword.
From the perspective of Wi Seol-ah, who knows her end, just seeing her is hell.
It was the same thing.
The woman did not cry.

Even if the one who protected you dies.
Even after my beloved family died.
Even if your comrades die, and even if your comrades who turn into enemies die.
The woman just swings her sword silently.
Wi Seol-ah thought that kind of woman was a cold person.
If it were me, I don’t think I could have made that face in this situation.
peel.
That kind of woman.
He rarely showed his emotions.
‘Who is it…?’
It’s blurry.
Someone the woman is looking at is not clearly visible to the above Seol Ah and is as if covered in fog.
It just looked bright.
Looking at the body, it seemed like the man was right.
The man made no reply to the woman’s words.
‘Dead, dead…?’
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case, as the man was breathing very shallowly.
He looks badly injured and covered in blood.
That somehow made her heart ache and she had to bite her lip.
“Surely you know where the remaining mines went.”
The woman continued to talk to him, seemingly oblivious to the man’s appearance.
all.
no.
Wi Seol-ah could tell.
It’s not that women don’t care about men.
I just had to endure it.
In her body there was anger, regret, despair, and longing.
Because I was swirling with emotions that couldn’t coexist.
Enduring them all.
The woman is talking to the man.
“To you… .”
The woman who was spitting out words bit her lips for a moment.
“If you have even a shred of conscience….”
The words he spoke next were somehow shaking slightly.
Is that anger?
Advertisements
Or is it a pity?
Or maybe it’s both.
As a young child, I couldn’t have known that much.
One, it seems like intense emotions are right.
– Splash.
I feel the woman clenching my fist tightly.
Blood dripped from her tightly clenched fist, but the woman did not appear to be in pain.
It was.
“This is your last chance, everyone is hoping for your death, but I will help you just this once.
If you give it to me, I will bet everything I have to spare your life.”
The woman’s voice began to tremble more and more.
Tell me what to do. Tell me what to do.
The woman’s heart was clearly crying out like this.
therefore.
“•••So please.”
Tell me.
The woman’s lips were tightly shut.
I held back my words so as not to utter the last words.
The man, who had heard everything the woman had to say, still remained silent.
Or maybe he can’t speak.
Just letting out a faint breath.
He just raises his head and looks at the woman.
With what kind of eyes and with what kind of emotions does that man look at that woman?
Wi Seol-ah wanted to see it, but she couldn’t see it.
“So tell me quickly. Where are you hiding?”
The woman says this and grabs the man by the collar.
I want my feet to react in some way.
The woman suppresses the words seething inside her, telling her to try anything.
The man still didn’t say anything.
Then, the woman moved the hand she was holding and threw the man to the floor.
Because of that, I rolled hard on the stone floor.
The man doesn’t groan even once.
Still, it only looks like he has given up on everything.
The woman who was watching said.
“If I had known you were such an ugly person, I would have killed you the moment I saw you.

”
There was definitely anger mixed in with the emotions that were rushing in.
The above is a very small emotion that is struggling and not being able to find its center.
Got it.
If only I had taken a slightly different approach.
I wish I had said something a little different to you.
Maybe it wouldn’t have turned out like this.
The woman’s mind was full of conflicting thoughts.
•••I regret that so much.”
After speaking.
The woman looked down at the fallen man.
The rumbling emotions are crouching as if they might explode at any moment.
The woman still just endures it.
Leaving that man behind.
The woman turns and goes out.
But his steps were filled with hesitation.
He maintained his firmness as if he would not show it to the outside world.
Just when I was wondering if he really intended to leave like this.
Sr
thing•
The woman immediately turned her head at the sound of someone behind her.
When I looked back, I saw the man’s broken body creaking as he moved.
The woman looks at the man with trembling eyes.
Knock. Knock.
I don’t know if you know that kind of gaze or not.
The man began to write something on the floor with trembling fingertips.
One line.
And also.
Every time I write something down on the floor.
Blood gushed out from the man’s mouth.
It’s as if they’re saying that you shouldn’t use that.
“what are you doing…!”
The woman who checked the man’s condition approached him urgently, making a noise.
In an instant, the woman’s body staggers.
The woman also looked unwell somewhere.

“for a moment….”
The woman noticed something in the man’s appearance and barely regained her composure before running away.
But I ran to the man.
On the body of the man who wrote all the words.
Bam-!
The body collapses with a sound of something exploding.
The woman supported the man with all her might.
“Please… . Please… .”
The woman tries to check on the man as if she is in a hurry.
My body is cooling down.
From the eyes of those losing consciousness.
I could already tell that the man’s life was over.
‘•••Why…?’
The above Seol-ah could not be known.
Anyone who is locked up in a prison like this must be a bad person.
Why does that woman show such feelings for that man?
The above Seol-ah could not be known.
One thing we can know is that.
What the woman is feeling now is clearly sadness.
So many emotions were swirling around, boiling over, threatening to explode.
All that’s left for the woman now is sadness.
That too, a very deep and dark sadness.
‘•••I want to break.’
Wi Seol-ah wanted to wake up from this dream right away.
Because the emotions I was feeling right now were too heavy to handle.
What did the man want to say to the woman just before he died?
The words written in blood on the floor were erased because the woman was moving in a hurry to hug the man.
There was nothing left.
Surely this wasn’t the information the woman needed.
but.
The words didn’t matter to the woman now.
Stop.
g: m
Nightfall.
A drop of water falls to the floor.
Advertisements
It wasn’t blood.
‘Crying…?’
Wi Seol-ah could see it.
A woman who did not shed a single tear even in those difficult circumstances.
She was hugging the man and shedding tears.
The woman who had been sobbing slowly began to cry out loud.
Telegram’s largest novel sharing room
There are over 100,000 files including dramas, webtoons, novels, etc.
At the same time, Wi Seol-ah had to tremble as she could not bear the feelings she felt for the woman.
all.
It was the first time I felt such deep pain.
When you get scolded by Hongwa, raise your arm.
It’s different from the pain I felt in my hand when swinging a wooden sword.
The pain my heart felt was so deep that it was difficult to bear.
‘I want to wake up… Please… .’
Dreams are not always on Wisul-ah’s side.
I want to wake up, but I can’t, so maybe I just have to endure it this time too.
‘master….’
I closed my eyes tightly as I recalled the above mentioned Guyangcheon.
Of course, even if I closed my eyes, the dream didn’t end.
The woman who was crying so loudly.
He covered his throat and suppressed his voice as if suppressing his emotions.
It’s because someone approached me.
“Your Majesty.”
At the voice of someone approaching the prison.
The woman cleared her throat and answered.
“•••What’s going on?”
“•••What were you looking for… . Huh.”
The middle-aged man stopped talking after looking at the person the woman was holding.
“The devil… .”
Before the man says anything.
The woman slowly got up.
The body of the deceased was laid neatly on the ground.
The man tried to lower his head.
Because I shouldn’t have faced the woman now.

“King of walking.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“If there are any mines left, tell them that the demon is dead.”
“•••All right.”
The woman goes out as if she has no regrets.
The king, left alone, quietly looked at the demon who had closed his eyes.
“Have a nice trip.”
Just those words.
The King of Geul-wang says briefly and then disappears from the prison following the woman.
And I know that I am left alone in the room.
I looked down at the man lying dead in loneliness.
But I still can’t see the face.
For some reason, this feeling feels familiar.
A place where the woman’s deep anger and heavy sadness have both left.
If it were true, he wouldn’t have been able to leave the woman.
It was strange for Wi Seol-ah to be left here alone.
Nick… why •••ji 쇷笲
Even though it is a dark and scary place.
For some reason, I don’t feel completely scared.
I know the above story that is left alone.
She extended her translucent hand to the man.
There was no reason.
Because for some reason it felt like it had to be that way.
By the time her small fingertips reached the man.
-Are you sure you’re okay?
Another voice was heard in Seol Ah’s ear.
My eyes opened.
I woke up from a nightmare.
Dark dawn.
Wei Seol-ah looked around with her sleepy, hazy eyes.
Not far away, a small candle is lit.
Two old men were talking.
“Are you sure that’s okay?”
“Is there anything that can’t be done?”
Advertisements
Maybe it’s because I woke up in the middle of the night.
I was still feeling sleepy.
But I wondered what my grandfather was saying behind me.
Weisulah could not stand the sleepiness that was creeping upon her and had to fall asleep again.
Wi Seol-ah fell asleep, unable to overcome her drowsiness.
Geomjon was quietly looking at that hypocrite.
“•••What are you doing?”
“It’s nothing. I put the child to sleep because he seemed to have woken up a little.”
I don’t know how the sword master, who was sitting far away, put Wi Seol-ah to sleep.
God didn’t ask specifically.
Because now there’s something more important to talk about.
“I dare to be called a divine doctor, but I am truly not a god.”
“I know.”
“No, it seems the leader doesn’t know. There are things he can’t do.”
“One, since God accepted it, isn’t it because it is something that can be done?”
“•••Huh, Leader… .”
In response to the lament of the gods, Geomjon says:
“I hope that child grows up to be a normal child.”
“This is the most difficult wind.”
Shin-ui had to click her tongue inwardly at Geom-jon’s words.
A child sleeping in the back.
Shinui had to vomit out his flagship upon seeing the huge space that the child possessed.
It is too wide to be called a human vessel.
It’s so wide and high that it looks like there’s nothing there.
Maybe that’s why Geomjon asked Shinui.
Please close that thing.
Close that huge bowl that anyone would covet.
Shinui couldn’t understand Geomjon’s words.
“•••Please understand that this is not within the realm of medicine.”
“I know. That is why I came looking for you even more.”
divine.
Or the old man who is called Tae-ui’s real name is Jegal.
A name that has now disappeared or been lost.
A prestigious family of the past.
Explored and evolved the realm of formation.

These are the three families who were researching and studying about the magic realm.
Even though he knew that, Shinui was extremely prickly.
There are probably only a handful of people in the Central Plains who know this, but it is the Sword Master who knows this.
That’s what you’re saying.
“•••If you grant this request, I will give you what the god desires.”
“Ha, where on earth are you going to get a hundred-level demon stone?”
Despite the swordsman’s confidence, Shinui couldn’t easily believe it.
What Shin-ui had been searching for all these years was the magic stone of a hundred-level demon.
For a very long time, the Baek-Geum Magic Mirror did not appear.
It seemed like the magic stone of a hundred-level monster was impossible to obtain.
The swordsman was speaking.
He said he could give it to God.
“• • •There is no lie. If you want, give me the gold.”
Looking at that swordsman, Shin-ui let out a deep sigh.
Because I understand his urgency to some extent.
The reason why he ends up obtaining the Baek-Geul Magic Stone.
Because it was for the grandson who I would not mind putting in my own eyes.
“… I’ll say it again, it’s going to take a lot of preparation. You can’t do it here, even more so.
“It is a thing.”
“I told the old master that I will leave once the divine preparations are done.”
Now the god was looking after these people of the Nine Kingdoms.
And God is a person who never leaves his patients no matter what happens.
It’s water.
So if you leave, everyone will be better off now.
The god did not hide his trembling face.
I asked the sword master.
“Where do you plan on going?”
As things are not going smoothly.
It requires a lot of preparation and expense.
Moreover, since the work had to be done in secret, it had to be done in utmost secrecy.
It will be difficult to get to the place where the enemy is.
To the question of the god, Geomjon answered.
“•••I will go to Cheonghae.”
At Geomjon’s words, one place comes to mind in Shinui’s mind.
One of the old file rooms.

Qinghai, where the Kunlun School is located.
However, the place where the sword is headed will not be Kunlun.
It’s not just the Kunlun sect.
Now, it was the place where Jang Ga’s family home was located in Hanam.
And so it was noon the next day.
“I will conduct a meeting of elders regarding the work of the Confucius.”
In the old days, the elders’ council was convened, led by the head of the household.
