Chapter 566 Sweet conflict. =========================================================================

It is, I don’t know when it was born.

I don’t even know where I was born.

When I first woke up and opened my eyes, all I could see was darkness everywhere. All you could do in that darkness was curl up endlessly and find out who you were and why you were here.

After countless years, he realized his identity and established himself.

For the first time in its life, it became aware of the inner sentiments of emotion.

The first feeling I had there, no less loneliness.

In a way, it may be natural. After spending countless years alone, all I did was sit still and swim my consciousness.

Then one day, while it was struggling with solitude and quietly building strength, something fell forward.

It was the first strange creature I saw since I was born. One round thing and one long thing ran up and down and down, each floundering.

It was so interested in the strange creature that it went straight to explore it, and after a long time, it was not long before it found out a surprising fact. It’s the concept of race breeding. And to breed a species, you need the ability to conceive.

It thought.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the ability to conceive.

It’s an ability that wasn’t given from the beginning.

But you don’t have to worry.

If there is a creature with the capability of conception, it is sufficient to implement this new concept.

I did research over and over again. And when I thought this would be enough, I immediately started breeding.

But variables always happen.

There was an unexpected problem. The creature acting as the mother body was so weak that it was not available for a long time.

More, a stronger mother is needed.

That’s what it thought, and since then it has worked out a way to gather the mother. He also raised and used those who had already succeeded in reproducing. It wasn’t without results. It was able to capture creatures that looked similar to the first ones that came in accidentally.

But in the long run, its woes are still unresolved. It’s hard to find a creature with the capability of conception, and it’s just a lot of them even if they catch it at their best. There were even creatures that looked similar but did not have the ability to conceive.

There were some cases when they found a strong mother, which was not hoped for occasionally, but they failed to withstand the endless breeding of the species and eventually broke down.

There is a need for a more, stronger mother.

Years have passed since the start of species breeding, but it is still lonely.

That’s why I crave more.

Mother, who can always be with herself and her children, who can be the companion of Father.

next day

As soon as the morning dawned, the Southern expedition immediately began an investigation into the pit. There’s not much to investigate. It’s like investigating how deep the pit is or how the ground floor is inside.

The method of investigation is also fairly primitive. For example, the way to measure the depth of a pit is to tie a long rope from time to time and tie a heavy stone to the end. Also, a sensitive user measures the distance based on when a stone touches the ground by stretching a string.

“Then let’s get started!”

I sighed secretly as I saw the man holding the line and positioning himself. Inside, I wanted to say it was useless, but what can I do? There’s no reason to back up what I’m saying. It would be better to just watch until you realize it yourself than to be suspicious of something you shouldn’t have said.

As soon as he thought so, the man threw a rope into the pit. The rope that went inside quickly disappeared into the darkness, streaming down. There was a small exclamation around me as I looked at the man who was manipulating the line as if he were fishing, but I stared at the pit in a calm mood. Because I already knew the result.

How long has it been?

The rope continued to flow down after a few minutes, but now it was slowly ending. Whether the man realized that there was not much time left, the line that was going down cheerfully at first is slowly going down.

Then, when all the lines finally went down, the man, who had done nothing in the air, looked stunned and blank.

“Huh?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, no. The rope’s all gone. But I don’t feel anything yet.”

“…No way. It was over 500 meters long. Didn’t you make a mistake.

Someone asked in a suspicious voice. In addition to the ropes brought by the residents of Hagiya, there is no doubt that they weaved everything to extend the length.

“No, I really put all my heart into it. I don’t feel anything.”

However, the man protested with an expression of resentment and shrugged.

There was a brief controversy among the users. However, the man tilted his head and began to raise the rope, as the decision was made to raise it up again.

“That’s great.”

Suddenly, Ko Yeon-joo, who was watching next to me, leaned gently and said,

“Suhyun, how deep is the hole?”

“I don’t know.”

“Can I really get in there?.”

“It’s not like there’s no way out. It’s a road. We can make it.”

I raised my arms and hugged Ko Yeon-joo, answering in moderation. And the moment I try to gently sweep down the top of my head.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, I had to feel a strong shock from my shoulders and sides. At the same time, I and Ko were forced to fail. Someone forced their way between me and Ko. As he lifted his gaze while hesitating, he saw Vivien walking by, trampling on the grass.

“Oh, my God.”

Ko made a dumb frown, but I’m just calm. Maybe it’s because of yesterday’s work.

“Vivienne?”

“What!”

When his name was called, Vivien shouted back and turned nervously. And I had to try hard to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.

He cried all night, but his eyes were swollen because he couldn’t turn red, and his mouth was protruding like a beak. The sound of breathing loudly seems to be cute.

My face is full of signs that I’m dying of sadness, so hurry up and soothe me.

But I simply betrayed that expectation.

“No. Did you sleep well?”

“…members!”

“Really? That’s enough. Anyway, get out of the way.”

“What, what?”

“I can’t see the pit. Get out of my way.” It’s been a while since I’ve been cozy, but it’s disturbing.”

“Oops, oops!”

Vivienne shouted once again that she couldn’t understand. Then he stared at me, grinding his teeth, and started to turn around and walk with big eyes. He keeps wiping his eyes with his fist on his way, probably shedding tears again.

…When I was thinking about comforting him even now, Ko was glued to him again. And after a while, I felt a slight pull on me.

“Suhyun, Suhyun!”

“What?”

“Look over there.”

“……?”

Ko Yeon-joo, pointing to the pit ahead. Did you pull it up already?

Soon as you turn your eyes reflexively, you see a man standing blankly in front of the pit. The rope had already been pulled up completely.

“Hey. What’s wrong? Why are you sitting still?”

He opened his mouth as if someone were flirting with him in the direction of standing with his back against the man. Then the man, who was standing blankly, slowly turned and leaned the rope forward.

“This is….”

At the same time, questionable exclamations erupted everywhere.

I gazed gently at the end of the rope.

A stone was clearly tied at the end of the rope before getting off. But now that it’s been pulled up, nothing’s tied up. I don’t even see a knot tied tightly.

Only a section that seems to have been cut off by something sharp remains, swaying from side to place.

The meeting was held immediately after the first investigation.

In fact, most of the Clan Roads looked puzzled because they didn’t find out much yet. But it’s meaningless to stay like this anyway.

Then, in the end, there is only one answer. You have to go inside yourself. Han So-young must have called a meeting because she knew about it.

“In my opinion, maybe that pit is kind of like a sinkhole.”

Shortly after the meeting began, layer investigator Wright Lord calmly raised his glasses and said.

“Sinkhole?”

“Yes, sinkhole. Simply put, it means a hole formed by sinking. It’s a large naturally formed pit, found everywhere. …and of course, it’s not exactly the same, but I think it’s about the same.”

“Then do you have any other characteristics? For example, things to watch out for.”

“Well.”

At Han So-young’s question, Light Lord sheds a short slumber. And I thought I was pondering something, so I quietly opened my mouth.

“I don’t know the details because I just picked them up. But based on modern knowledge, sinkholes are created because when large amounts of groundwater suddenly spill from underground rock, the ground collapses because it can’t bear the weight of the ground. As you’ve all seen, that pit is over 100 meters in diameter. The stratum is really badly dislocated, and there is a very long crack.”

Light Lord paused for a moment, as if he were out of breath from speaking for a long time. And he quickly breathed and continued to talk.

“In other words, the problem is the crack. The current status of the stratum is very unstable, so you never know when it will collapse. In fact, in my personal opinion, it’s amazing that it’s still like this.”

“Then, I have an idea.”

The user who received the word was none other than Musa Rod Ko Oh-hwan.

“That’s what Wright Lord says. Do we really need to get in there?”

Then he held up the end of the cut rope and waved as if to look.

“Maybe they’re waiting for us to come down below. So if we go down like this, we’re likely to end up as tasty prey.”

“Then….”

“Then what? Then. It’s simple. Let’s just bring the wizards together and pour magic inside, or use geographical magic to knock down the pit altogether. Let’s think about it. The strata are falling apart. What can I say? It’ll just get crushed.”

“Pooh.”

The moment I heard that, I desperately had to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out. At the same time, I was a little jealous. It’s so simple to think that way.

…but. Why is everyone looking so plausible?

“He, that’s absolutely not possible!”

Wright Lord said in a roaring voice.

But there was a normal person. That’s a relief.

“Why not?”

“If you do as Warrior Rod says, you’ll burn a thatched house while trying to catch a mule.”

“So what do you mean….”

“Now, the ground is somehow interlocked and the depression has stopped, but that pit can be widened anytime, anywhere. That’s how sinkholes are.”

“No, it’s not that big of a deal..”

“You look down on the sinkhole. If something goes wrong, it can sink to where we are in a flash. Literally in an instant. You fall down in the blink of an eye.”

As if he couldn’t give in, Wright Road cut off Ko Oh-hwan’s words. It was a firm voice.

Then, Ko Oh-hwan, who was quite afraid, closed his mouth with a look of dismay. Not only Ko Oh-hwan but also everyone who attended the meeting was silent. Then, the only way left is to go down, but since I saw the rope cut off earlier, it would be ambiguous to come forward.

For a moment, a heavy silence fell.

It was then.

“I listened to you both.”

As we were just looking around each other, Han So-young, who had been silent, opened her mouth.

“I’ve been thinking about this and that as I listen to it..”

Then he calmly looked around the audience and continued in a quiet voice.

“If that’s the case, I think there’s only one way left.”

Off the record.

Ro Yu-jin: Hey! Vivienne!

Vivien: Why?

Ro Yu-jin: You scolded my readers yesterday! Did you tell on me again?
