Episode 427. Suspicion (2)
Wind chimes, wind chimes, and transport.
And thanks to the Baekgeombyeongdan members who acted as cushions, Yuri was able to slightly reduce her falling speed and successfully land on the ground.
While Do-cheol was foaming at the mouth and passed out, he was running excitedly again.
In front of him was a moon that guided him.
Turn left (↰).
Turn right (↱).
Straight ahead (↑), etc.
Thanks to the direction of the moon that changed in real time, Yuri was able to run through the complex night sky without any problems.
‘I didn’t mean to look around here like this.’
Once the work in the labyrinth was finished, I planned to go sightseeing in the sleepless city while I was waiting for the promised weapon.
But even if the work is finished, it seems like it would be wrong to go see the beautiful sleepless city anymore.
Boom- Kwakang-!
Eww!
Explosions erupted one after another and screams echoed around.
It seemed like it would take some time for the sleepless city, engulfed in phone calls, to regain its beauty.
‘By the way, it’s a bit unexpected.’
As Yuri ran, she took in every detail of the sleepless city.
Most of the corpses seen at that time were wearing white clothes.
“Ugh!”
“Lord, kill me… … .”
Those who died with arrows and various weapons stuck all over their bodies.
Those with red faces or foaming at the mouth.
Ironically, the ones responsible for the death knell that occurred throughout the sleepless city were the invaders, the Baekgeom Byeongdan.
‘Is that why it was like this?’
Yuri and her friends thought that the Meister and the Gol Exploration Team were just crazy about research and had no worries about the sleepless nights.
The stereotype of the Goljok is that they are diehard artisans and intellectuals.
Therefore, it was thought that their weaknesses would be weak due to their nature of not being trained in magic.
But Yuri had to admit that she was wrong.
‘You weren’t just crazy about research… you believed in it.’
The belief that the sleepless Goljok tribe would be able to repel any invaders.
That’s why the Gole tribe’s exploration party seemed so relaxed.
‘Just because you haven’t learned magic doesn’t mean you’re weak.’
The power of knowledge and technology accumulated by the Gol tribe.
The shadow of death that fell all over the sleepless city was proof of how terrifying its power was.
‘This might end up being simpler than I thought?’
Perhaps things could be concluded more easily when the other masters and the elite of the Gol tribe who were out there arrive.
Yuri ran in the direction that Wolru led, her expression looking much less burdened.
The more she ran, the more Yuri’s eyebrows began to furrow.
“Where are you going, you punk?”
At first, I ran through the city that never sleeps.
But now, aren’t we completely out of the city and heading to some remote place that we don’t even know where?
A place so far from the city that you’d wonder if such a place even existed if it weren’t for Wolru’s guidance.
Then, finally, Yuri’s new form stopped in one place.
His face was greatly distorted by the sight that appeared before him.
“Damn it, another tunnel?”
At the final destination that Wolru guided, there was a small cave.
‘Abandoned mine?’
Mining equipment that still bears the marks of the passage of time.
There were many things around the cave that were on the verge of disappearing.
“Are you telling me to go in there?”
Perhaps because of the curse of the labyrinth, I no longer wanted to even look at the tunnel.
Then suddenly an ominous thought crossed Yuri’s mind.
‘Come to think of it, this place is already underground?’
Since the city of Insomnia is located underground, isn’t it no different from a labyrinth?
While Yuri was having such unlucky thoughts.
Woof-.
Wolu, who had briefly trembled, soon disappeared into Yuri’s body.
Doesn’t this also seem familiar somehow?
‘This kid again?!’
The already overwhelming sense of anxiety grew even stronger.
And why do uneasy premonitions never go wrong?
Thud thud thud-.
The sound of footsteps coming from the abandoned mine reached Yuri’s ears.
The heavy momentum flowing out of the darkness along with the sound of footsteps made Yuri’s nerves tense.
‘Damn it… that damn tunnel!’
There was no need to go all the way to the abandoned mine right in front of us.
The moment you enter the sleepless castle, the curse of the labyrinth has already begun.
‘This fucking kid ran off on his own again!’
Just like last time, Yuri, who had finished the guidance and cursed at Wolru who had gone out alone, raised the tension as she lamented her situation.
How much time has passed like that?
Thud thud thud-.
Yuri’s eyes widened slightly as she saw the person finally emerging from the abandoned mine.
A face that seems familiar somewhere.
Yuri thought for a moment and then remembered his name.
“… Peter Lehmann?”
And that was when it happened.
In the meantime, a panicked voice came out from Do-cheol, as if he had come to his senses.
“Huh… What is this case? Why is there a person coming out of there?”
Glass and railroad.
I was flustered because I met an unexpected person in an unexpected place.
Peter’s voice was heard then.
“This is an unexpected and fun combination.”
Just as Yuri and Docheol were surprised to see Peter, Peter was also surprised to see them.
‘This is Master Do-cheol.’
Since he had already checked the impressions of the Masters before starting this operation, Peter was able to recognize Do-cheol right away.
Rather, it took him a while to recognize the young man carrying him.
Peter opened his mouth and looked at the glass.
“You said Glass Holland? I guess you can see everything in places like this.”
The last time Peter saw Yuri was when he was working on the quest to break through the organ in the cradle.
The little boy I saw back then has grown into such a young man.
It was perhaps natural that he had difficulty recognizing Yuri.
On the other hand, Yuri, who had not heard any news from Peter, also asked him.
“From black to white… When did you change jobs?”
“I wouldn’t call it a job change. I never once considered myself a member of the Black Swordsman Corps.”
Peter’s calm voice made Yuri recall the information she had heard from Julia.
‘Didn’t you say that there were assistants who helped the Baekgeom Byeongdan that day?’
At the time when the labyrinth of sin was collapsing.
If the White Swords caused chaos by slaughtering the riders inside the labyrinth, then outside, the White Swords, who had been hiding among the Black Swords for a long time, revealed their true colors and caused chaos.
Peter was probably one of those people.
As Yuri looked at Peter with a strange gaze, Peter also had a similar gaze.
‘By the way, why is this guy here?’
He also knew very well that it was the time when the 50th class had completed.
But as far as Peter knows, Yuri Holland went missing that day with the collapse of the labyrinth.
Not only is that guy alive and well, but he even shows up in the forest.
Besides, the aura I felt from Yuri was extraordinary.
‘I guess I’ve been stuck here too long.’
At that age and with that level of skill, he would have been quite well known.
So it was clear that the headquarters would also be keeping a close eye on it.
But he himself has not yet heard any news about Yuri.
‘Even though I’ve been holed up in the forest for years preparing for this, it’s still so late to hear from you.’
Peter opened his mouth, reflecting on his own neglect of information.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so would you mind getting out of the way? I’m a bit busy and have a lot to do.”
Hearing those remarks, which were incredibly calm, Do-cheol fell down from Yu-ri’s back.
“What the heck!”
Do-cheol, who was patting Peter on the hunched back, looked at him with a strange gaze.
“I’m asking just in case… How did you know about this place? It’s a place that even our clan has forgotten.”
“… … .”
Peter didn’t answer.
Instead, he just stares at Do-cheol with cold eyes.
Then Do-cheol said, carrying the luggage on his back.
“If you don’t want to answer, then I guess there’s nothing I can do. Well, I guess I can’t keep a busy person for long. Of course I’ll have to send you. But.”
Do-cheol’s gaze, which had been interrupted briefly, fell on the box Peter was carrying at his side.
“Even if you go, leave that behind. The owner of that item has already been decided.”
Peter’s expression turned sharp at Do-cheol’s words and he opened his mouth for the first time.
“What if you can’t do that?”
“Hehe, why are you doing this? Since we said we’d do whatever you wanted, shouldn’t you also give us what we want in good conscience? I won’t hold anything against you… Just leave that item behind and go.”
“… … .”
Peter had no response to Do-cheol’s words, which were almost like a complaint.
How much time has passed like that?
The corners of Peter’s mouth began to twitch.
“Ugh… Hehehe.”
The laughter that keeps coming out of my mouth.
This soon changed into a big deal.
“Hahahaha!”
Peter was laughing like crazy and even shedding tears because he was so funny.
Then suddenly he stopped laughing and raised his forehead.
Then, the eyes that were brimming with murderous intent appeared, as if the smiles she had been showing until now were fake.
“Just now… did you say conscience?”
The vicious murderous intent emanating from Peter.
“How dare you… … !”
As he shouted, a whirlwind of mana swept through the iron and glass.
Peter growled, glaring at Do-cheol as if he was going to chew him up any moment.
“How dare you, you filthy clan that has forgotten even grace!”
“… … .”
“You are the ones who consider even mentioning the events of that day taboo in order to hide your sins! How much more so!”
The vicious murderous intent that flowed from Peter became tangible and greatly stirred.
“The bloodline of that disgusting clan that sealed the remains of their benefactor in that filthy, dark underground… Who could dare talk about conscience to anyone! Unlike you who forget the past, we have not forgotten him!”
Do-cheol’s eyes changed at Peter’s tone of voice, which seemed to hold a deep grudge against the entire Gol tribe.
At first, my doubts soon turned into certainty.
“… It was you. I was wondering who changed the settings of that door.”
Do-cheol’s expression hardened as he realized Peter’s identity.
A voice like a groan came out of him.
“Why… did the Quan people come out into the world again?”
“Make no mistake. Our clan did not stay silent for so long because we lacked strength. It was simply to uphold his will. But… not anymore.”
Peter smiled bitterly.
“The true slayer of the dragons has drawn his sword, so be afraid. He will soon come to you in person to punish you for your sins.”
“…huh?”
For a moment, Do-cheol’s eyes widened as if he had heard something wrong.
Soon his pupils began to shake violently.
‘W, what is this?!’
A true dragon slayer?
There is a separate person?
‘Then… what is this little thing?!’
I was now confident that I had figured out Yuri’s true identity to some extent.
But as the identity became a mystery again, Do-cheol’s face became filled with confusion.
Meanwhile, Peter smiled, mistaking this for fear.
“Yes, fear, fear again, the day when He comes.”
While Peter was misunderstanding, Yuri began to organize their conversation in her head.
‘Quan, Dragon Slayer, Yuhae.’
It wasn’t long before a rough outline of the context formed in my head.
‘Peter Lehmann is a member of the White Swords and a group called the Quan Tribe.’
Also, it seems that the Quan tribe follows the one who is the predecessor of the Dragon Slayer.
‘And the remains are… … .’
Yuri’s gaze fell on the metal box.
‘Maybe it’s contained inside there.’
If we sum up the story, the box will contain the remains of the dragon slayer.
‘The remains of a dragon slayer.’
At that moment, two clues began to combine in Yuri’s head.
Wolu’s strange behavior.
The remains of the dragon slayer they mentioned.
And the right and the left.
As the puzzle began to come together, a strange light flashed across Yuri’s eyes.
‘I see… that’s it.’
