77. Different Dreams

“Teacher! Look. It’s a king!”

Iris was genuinely surprised, not acting.

Before her return, the castle she saw was only ashes.

Because we arrived after the castle collapsed, and there was no time to rebuild.

The capital city, which was said to be the most brilliant city on the continent, was left in ruins.

And no hope ever arose over the ruins again.

But this time it was different. And it will be different.

It took less than two weeks, let alone a month, to reach the royal castle.

It was great that I didn’t waste time getting caught in a trap in the west.

Also, since Garam’s gang has been cut off, he’s probably on his way back as well.

A hero of the sword who should have been wandering in the north in the first place.

This time, he was to appear as the strongest reinforcement.

‘Okay. Still good It can’t get any better than this.’

I wanted to say it was perfect, but that was impossible.

An attack by demons in the city where they met the divine hero, Lily.

And that was the reason why a great hostility towards this world appeared.

‘Originally, that never happened. After all, if you touch something, it twists a little accordingly.’

Those thoughts made Iris more cautious.

She said that the only thing she touched was that she cut off Garam’s gang.

All she did was use that woman to deal with the demon worshipers in the city.

But as a result, demons not only appeared.

Even ‘enemy’, an existence that cannot be resisted by the current self, has appeared.

He was himself that day he almost fainted at how surprised he was.

Iris made up her mind to be more careful in the future.

He cannot rust and break his only weapon himself.

He had to refrain from stepping out unless it was a decisive moment.

“… I just thought it was a great place. It certainly deserves the name of the capital.”

Namgung-Hyun, who had approached Iris, looked out the window.

It was a natural reaction since he was also the first to be in the capital city.

“Master. The royal palace is located in the northern area of the royal castle. They say they’re using up the whole northern district! And in the east, there are villas where each nobleman stays. In the south….”

“Whoah, calm down. Iris. Take a breath and tell me Rather, how did you know that?”

“I asked Gerard sunbaenim, and I also asked other people. Preparations must be thorough.”

“You are doing a strangely thorough preparation in a strange part, stupid student?”

Namgung-hyeon secretly clenched her fist while saying that.

At that, Iris reflexively covered her head.

It’s not that I can’t hit just because I’m blocking, but I had to do it instinctively.

Fortunately, he didn’t really intend to hit him.

He lowered her hand, looked at Iris for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“Are you going to visit the castle while Master Lee is looking over the palace?”

“… Yes. There are many places I want to see here and there.”

“Yes. If so, take a look around a lot. Very meticulous.”

Namgung-hyeon already knows that Iris is a regressor.

To say such a thing under that circumstance is that he would be in charge of the palace himself.

It means that you should go around other places in the castle and get suspicious.

Iris also understood the meaning instantly and nodded her head.

Isn’t that the reason why he chose to go on a trip to the royal castle instead of the royal palace?

‘And the reason why I want to serve Teacher Tae… It has something to do with him.’

I wouldn’t know again if his physical condition was before regression.

I am in an extremely pitiful state right now, nothing more and nothing less.

At a time like this, you may miss something somewhere.

So he needed a more reliable helper, and the only person left was his Taesabu.

Although her personality is sharp and scary.

She is as strong as she is, and her senses are sharp enough to be sharp.

If there is something suspicious somewhere in the royal castle other than the royal palace.

He would capture his Taesabu faster than anyone else.

‘And… I have some stories I want to share.’

Her own mentor said.

I told my story with a slight twist and passed it on to my mentor.

She did not disclose that she was a regressor, but she did mention that she was from an ‘other world’.

Is that why?

She was Iris, who had felt Taesabu take care of herself little by little lately.

She

She was wary, but in the end she seems to have an affinity for saying that they are in a similar situation.

Or maybe she knew it long ago, but she was offended that she didn’t say anything.

Anyway, compared to her first meeting, she could say she is much better now.

She

She was, of course, though she was still fearsome when she was being taught swordsmanship.

“Master.”

The window placed between the carriage and the driver’s seat opens slightly.

Gerard, who drove the carriage beyond, continues her words.

“The Royal Knights asked if it would be okay to go as close to the palace as it is.”

“When a customer visits somewhere, it is only natural to meet the owner first. Say yes.”

“Yes, I understand. Master.”

The sound of a conversation outside is heard for a moment, and the carriage turns slightly.

And the scenery outside the window became more and more colorful and beautiful.

“Wow!! .”

“Heroes!!….”

There was a clear sound of shouts coming through the window.

Iris, who quietly drew the curtains and examined the situation, had to sigh.

People who live in the capital city.

Thousands of them came out into the streets to greet the warriors who had entered the castle.

Cheering, scattering flowers, clapping.

I want to be amazed just glancing around in the carriage like this.

And why is the royal family wary of the warriors, yet unable to drive them out?

Iris could feel it very clearly once again.

Absolutely necessary, but too burdensome.

In the royal family, a warrior was an existence that had no choice but to be like that.

How much time has passed.

Soon the wagon slowed down and stopped completely.

The cheers of the people were already coming from far away.

It seemed that they had reached the northern district of the royal castle, where the royal palace was located.

“Master. We have arrived at the palace.”

“Yes, I understand. Gerard. Master. I’ll go if you can.”

At Namgoonghyeon’s words, Nayeonhwa nodded.

“Iris. Take good care of Master Tae. After looking around, move to Daisy’s residence as the knights guide you. Got it? Don’t even think about being late.”

“Don’t worry, Master.”

After that conversation, Namgung-hyeon left her carriage.

I thought I could hear some conversation outside for a while, but it soon became quiet.

It seemed that he was heading towards the entrance of the palace with Gerard and Iris.

After a while, the carriage door was carefully opened with a knock.

“Me, you two. You may want to move soon.”

The vice-captain entered the palace, but not all the knights entered.

Almost half of the knights were still there.

The reason was, of course, Iris and Naturalization.

Because they were not separately called by the king.

Let them tour the castle as they wish, then guide them to the place where the magic hero is.

Since they received the order from the vice-captain, the knights waited to do it.

“Master Tae.”

Iris held out the hood that Namgoonghyeon had prepared in advance.

It seems that there was one more besides her own.

“… See me and write this? You have nothing to worry about?”

“It’s not because Taesabu did anything wrong, but for the sake of others, Master said.”

“Did you mean disciple or Hyuni?”

“Yes. If others see Teacher Tae as it is, they will surely do something rude. It could cause unnecessary trouble, so let’s hide properly over here.”

“It’s not very pleasant, but… You can’t knock out all the powerless ones.”

He is a very difficult person, but there are also parts that are easy to understand.

One is not to touch those who have no power at all.

Another thing is that when he talks about his student, he becomes surprisingly gentle.

That’s how Iris and Natural Hwa got off the wagon with their hoods on.

After that, all the remaining knights wore cloaks appropriately over their clothes.

Because this side has no intention of revealing its true identity to the residents of the capital.

I just had to spend some time properly and move on to Daisy Blossom’s residence.

“… It is gigantic.”

Iris was in the middle of moving her steps.

Natural painter behind her stopped her steps while muttering that.

“The headline of the Demonic Sect where I lived was splendid, but… It wasn’t that lively. Rather, it seems that this place is truly a place where human beings live.”

“You have to do that. They are really ordinary people who know nothing and have nothing. It’s where those people live, so isn’t it natural, Master Tae?”

“For some reason, you are saying all the right things. Strangely.”

“It seems like Master keeps calling me an idiot disciple and a idiot disciple. I am not stupid.”

After answering that, Iris moved her steps again.

She wonders if she can find anything because there are so many people.

She still tried to feel something by expanding her senses as much as possible.

After all, isn’t there someone stronger than her teacher behind her?

‘If it’s Master Tae, he won’t overlook even the smallest thing.’

By the time Iris thought so, she was fulfilling the excuse of watching the royal castle.

Nayeon-hwa, who followed her slightly behind her, had other thoughts.

‘What is this guy up to? The guy who wouldn’t come near me very often.’

At first, she was teaching Iris the sword herself.

She

I knew she did it because she did it because she had her gratitude for him.

But on second look, she didn’t seem to be all that.

Her eyes were looking for something, but she couldn’t figure out what it was.

– That child is like me and Master. –

Namgoonghyun’s words come to mind.

A person who is not from this world, but from a completely different place.

Maybe that is why he felt the strange sense of difference he experienced.

“… Iris.”

“Ah, yes. Master Tae! Did you call me?”

It was a bit embarrassing naturalization because the face was expecting something.

What do you want from me? The word was about to come out of my mouth.

“… Can I ask you something?”

“Yes! Anything!”

“I heard from Hyun. You guys are similar to my disciple and principal.”

“Ah… yes. If I had to say it, I would.”

“If so, why did you hide it? When I am so wary of you and reject you. Couldn’t you tell?”

“Because I thought it was a misunderstanding that would be resolved someday. I didn’t want to embarrass Taesabu there. I was just going to let it be my fault and talk about it later.”

“A foolish thing.”

Tsk tsk, but on the outside he clicks his tongue.

I thought naturalization was pretty good for a young kid.

As a bonus, Namgung-hyeon, I thought that my pupil was raising his pupil very well until the very end.

“Though Taesabu is a little, no, very scared. You are still a good person.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Abu is just disgusting.”

“He is also the one who is most needed by Master. So please stay by my side.”

“… What did that mean all of a sudden?”

“It just means good luck.”

Ah, the smiling Iris! And she exclaims.

Just in time, there was a street vendor selling a lot of food right next to it.

“Master Tae. Would you like something tasty?”

“Ha ha. You guys are still far away. I don’t know, from controlling human desire to being strong….”

“It must be really delicious, right?”

What Iris said was the same as what Namgoonghyun said.

Those words that lead naturalization into temptation every time and eventually follow the desire.

In the end, the Heavenly Demon drool and followed Iris to the street vendor.
