MEMORIZE

Chapter 914 A Poisoned Chalice, Two. =========================================================================

It seems like yesterday that we entered the meadow through the swamp, but at some point, the meadow was slowly showing signs of escaping.

Everywhere I turn my eyes, the sky meets the grassland. As I tilted my chin and looked up, I saw a cloud swimming softly in the sky. It was constantly going in the same direction as if it were leading us. At this rate, we may be able to see the city soon.

“Eh.”

While marching quietly, a meaningless voice was heard behind his back. I can’t see who said it because I’m at the top, but I can guess it’s Lee Yu-jung from my voice.

“It looks like we’re almost there.”

“What?”

“Huh? Why?”

“No, you said the same thing earlier.”

“So?”

“I don’t understand why you’re bringing up the facts you know.”

Oh, it’s a pretty sharp attack for an easy target. “Ha?” exclaimed as if Lee felt similar.

“But there’s a saying. We have to listen to what we have to say.”

“Well, that’s true. I admit it.”

“Acknowledge? Wow, since when have you been so blind?”

“Oh, don’t come. I’m telling you, my mercenary grade is EX…(sighs) (sighs) (sighs) (sighs)

I keep walking forward, so I still don’t know what’s going on behind my back. However, judging from the new scream, Ansol’s chubby cheeks are likely to be growing on both sides.

After a while, Ansol sniffled and Lee Yu-jung’s refreshing cry broke out.

“Whoo~ Anyway, where did Yeonju go?” Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve seen it throughout the march. …this is what I ultimately wanted to say. Do you understand?

“Crying… Yes.But I think I’ve seen you a few times….”

“I’ve seen it from time to time. That’s why I said the whole march.”

“It sounds like it..”

It was not long before I felt someone running towards me. I purposely pretended not to know and made fun of my steps. But someone managed to get close and stick their head out to the side by side.

“Oppa, oppa. Yeonju, where did you go?” What did you order?”

Why does he only sense things like this? I just wish you’d let it slide.

“Huh? Huh?”

Lee Yu-jung even poked at the side of the male agent. But it’s a bit of a difficult question to put straight, so I’m in trouble. How should I say this?

Then something came into my sight, incidentally, to get me out of the woods. I quietly pointed forward without saying a word.

“Huh?”

Then, Lee Yu-jung’s eyes widened as she looked ahead, and soon smiled brightly.

“It’s a city!”

I could see a small town standing in the middle of the meadow.

*

It was unexpected. As soon as we entered the city, what awaited us was a huge crowd of people swarming in a small city. As soon as I passed the main gate, applause and shouts poured out from all sides, as I heard news that it would arrive by this morning. I felt as if I had become an improvement general.

Of course, those who remained on the North continent also fought a war with the West continent, but technically, those who participated in the salvation of the East continent suffered more. It was undeniable, but it didn’t make me feel like I was campaigning for it. The situation was different, and the compensation was different. So you just had to take it in a good mood.

What followed after the welcome was a snap. As the ceremony was omitted at the start, he did not make a grand greeting even when it was over. After only explaining the background of bringing survivors to the East continent and emphasizing that the war was not over, the order was issued immediately.

So with thousands scattered, I shared a simple sunset with the members of the Commercial Clan who came out to meet us. In particular, Cho Seung-woo smiled nicely, saying that he kept his promise, and led my hand gently. I’ve prepared a rich festival in the Commercial Castle.

No matter how easy the war was, and the way back was peaceful, the house is more comfortable than the outside anyway. I’ve been close to homelessness and eating outdoors for almost four months, and I’d be lying if I didn’t miss a soft bed and warm food. In other words, there was no reason to refuse.

In the midst of the uproar, I could realize when I saw Clan members heading to Warp Gate.

The fact that we really beat the devil and came back safely.

*

The next day, I watched Excalibur with a third eye as soon as I woke up.

“Excalibur”

1. General description.

Ⅰ I. Excalibur is a legendary trait that has emerged since a long time ago. It is safe to say that it is an absolute holy sword that has dominated many eras to the point where there is a record that says, “In the golden age, absolute good symbolizing good and evil, and in the dark era, a ray of brilliant light illuminating darkness.”

Ⅱ. Equipment that covers the owner. If the owner’s consciousness succeeds, it is attributed until the user dies. However, the Excalibur sometimes leaves on its own when it is determined that the user is disqualified.

Excalibur is a symbol of good. It has never been used in the hands of a wicked person since its appearance in the world. No matter how qualified you may be, the closer your tendencies are to evil, the more likely you will not accept it as your master.

2. Detailed efficacy.

Ⅰ. Giving the owner infinite power. The user’s muscle strength increases by 6 points unconditionally.

Ⅱ. Gives the owner higher stamina. User’s stamina will increase by 4 points unconditionally. (Seal: Unsealed when interlocking with the sheath of the Excalibur.)

Ⅲ. Give the owner a faster civil servant. The user’s mincheop will be raised by 2 points unconditionally. (Seal: The seal will be released when linking with Der Ring Des Nibelungen.)

Ⅳ. The vast experience accumulated in Excalibur forces the owner to rise. All unique, special, and potential capabilities of a user are unconditionally raised by two grades.

The mana in the Excalibur is strong enough to destroy everything that’s in the way. Every time you swing a sword, you can strike with a terrible spell.

Ⅵ. Excalibur’s energy is automatically linked to the user’s mana circuit. User’s horsepower flow increases by 2.5 times.

“Phew.”

As I was reading the printed message, I held my breath without realizing it. In the first episode, I only heard bits and pieces of information, but when I actually saw it, it was breathtaking. However, the more I read it, the more I feel sorry for it rather than wanting it.

In fact, I read it over and over again throughout the march, so I was guessing why Excalibur wouldn’t recognize me as his master. Perhaps because of the third condition of the general explanation. My tendencies are order, not good, moderation, and chaos.

As chaos is a pre-male stage of evil, it is not unreasonable to hate me. Hagiya, you did something bad to Eldora, the original owner, in front of Excalibur.

Anyway, I understand, but I don’t feel sorry for you. As soon as Excalibur recognizes me as its owner, my user information can achieve tremendous growth.

First, the muscle strength will rise to 105 points, the third eye will be rated EX, and the horsepower flow will rise up to seven times. At this point, it is almost thought that the detailed efficacy condition No. 5 is a bonus.

Is that all? If we open up the sealed effect now….

“Oh, my God.”

Come on, what’s the point of thinking about each and every one of these? At first glance, I can feel the feeling of dislike for me. For now, I’m careful not to even touch it. I can’t help it. For the time being, we have to wait for Excalibur to calm down on his own.

It was then. I felt a small vibration in my mouth. Light is flowing on the surface of the communication bead. As soon as the mana was poured in, the sound of breathing came out before the video came out.

(Hey!)

A sharp shout broke out. Someone watched the video and slowly revealed a woman with intelligent features. Lee Hyo-eul, who had a very angry face, was staring at me.

“Oh, it’s been a while.”

It’s been a long time! Are you sure you want to die? No, you want me to die?)

“What are you talking about? Why are you getting angry as soon as you see it?”

You don’t know? Survivors of the East Continentire! You still don’t remember?)

Ah.

“Oh, I’m glad to hear from you. What happened to the war on the West Continent?”

(Huh? Uh, didn’t you hear that? I thought you heard it on your way back.)

“I heard you won. But I didn’t hear the details.”

(Oh, really?)

No, I’m kidding.

Lee Hyo-eul grimaced and tilted her head.

(Well, it’s just the word.) After you guys left, we stuck in the mule and cared about Mercury.)

“There’s a saying that you didn’t bump into each other much.”

(Yeah, I thought he’d rush, but it was the other way around. You were so careful that it was annoying. We got out of the castle, surrounded, and attacked. I mean, you don’t even look back, you retreat right away.

“Huh….”

Let’s give them a little ad-lib.

(Tries to attack, retreats, creeps up when you return to the castle. In the end, you kept going back and forth, and suddenly disappeared the day your war ended. Isn’t that a little weird?)

“Yeah, that’s weird.”

(Right? And so do you. You won a couple of big games, but you’ve got a lot of people running away.

“Ho. You know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you?”

(This is nothing. Anyway, victory is victory, but I guess angels have something they don’t like. I think I’ll page you when the discussion is over, so you’d better be prepared.)

“Yeah, I get it. Maybe I’d better go first.”

I reached out to the beads with the nuance that I would end it. However, Lee Hyo-eul suddenly became serious. I thought I had succeeded in changing the subject, but I’m sure you’re not like Vivienne. In the end, he raised a white flag.

“Can’t you just do it for me?”

(No!)

Lee Hyo-Eul is screaming. Very determined. I thought it was sweet pumpkin for a moment.

“I’m busy, and as you say, as soon as the angel calls, I may have to move in a hurry.”

Who’s not busy? So don’t bring him back from the beginning?

“It was inevitable.”

(Oh, I don’t know! It’s not a hundred, but thousands.)

“You could do it. And weren’t you supposed to help me?”

(That’s funny. Don’t get me wrong. The current guardian is you, not me! You brought him, so you take care of it!)

Lee Hyo-eul folded her arms as if she had no chance, and even snorted.

Oh, he’ll come out like this.

“Okay. If you are, I can’t help it.”

Lee Hyo-eul was startled when he muttered quietly.

What else are you going to do??)

An anxious voice was heard, but I let go of the new communication bead without saying a word. And not long after that,

(Huh? Soohyun?)

I could hear my brother’s voice.

Hmm. I don’t remember using it after the first episode. Shall we do it? It’s been a while.

First of all, his eyes are about 45 degrees down, and he smiles as if he is struggling with powerfully. It worked well to stutter a little bit and drool.

“Uh, bro… It’s me….”

(Yeah, why are you communicating? What’s wrong with you?

“Uh, huh?”

(Your face and your voice are weird, too. What’s wrong? What’s wrong?)

As expected. Your reaction is always the same. Let’s change our facial expressions now. What’s the matter? Did you have a fight with your friend?’ she said to her worried mother, ‘No, it’s nothing. Don’t worry.’ Like a reluctantly smiling son.

“No, no, no…It’s just….”

(Just?)

“Ha ha. I’m a little busy. Sorry. I’ll get back to you when I’m done.”

What are you doing?)

“Oh, you brought in survivors from the East. I thought I’d take the job.”

Why would you do that? What about the Central Administration Agency?)

“Phew. I got a message earlier. They said they couldn’t handle it, but they told me to take care of it.”

(What!)

As expected, his brother’s reaction was fierce. Lee Hyo-eul opened her mouth wide as she glanced at the bead that had been secretly set aside. He must have seen something that he couldn’t see.

That’s what Lee Hyo-eul said so? Wow, I didn’t see him like that, but he’s pretty funny.)

“Oh, no.”

What do you mean no? Soohyun, just stay still. You don’t have to go.)

“Ha, but….”

(Never mind, don’t move.) I’ll take care of it.)

“Tongue, brother?”

Before I could say anything, my brother cut off the communication right away.

Is it over? I straightened out my expression. Then, after moving his chin from side to side, he buried himself in the chair and stared at Lee Hyo-eul in the bead. Now all you have to do is look at what’s going to happen.

A little later.

(Yes, it’s me, the head of the Central Administration.

(Uh, uh, Kim Yoo-hyun…).)

(Excuse me, don’t call me by my name.) This is Hamill Clan Road.)

(…….)

I could see and hear Lee Hyo-eul with an awkward expression and his cold-hearted brother’s voice in real time.

(I won’t say too much.) I just heard it from Suhyun. Is it true?)

Wait a minute. Listen to me first. What?)

(I don’t want you to speak informally. Anyway, why are you passing it on to the guardian? Don’t you know enough about Lee Hyo-eul? I heard Suhyun told you to take care of it. What is the significance of a central government organization?)

(Hey! Yeah! That’s what you said! And who put it on you? You know who helped them, fed them, and put them to sleep last night? It’s me! I’m not the one who passed it on, it’s Kim Soo-hyun!

What? No! I just got back from the war and I could turn things around! Why are you killing my brother’s nerve?

(Ha, ha!)

“Do you not remember Su-hyun saving your life?” and “If you were going to do this, I wouldn’t let you be the guardian in the first place.” Many words went back and forth for a long time.

But it was his brother who won in the end. I can’t win with words if my brother is words. So, there is no such thing as Lee Hyo-eul.

Okay! Okay! I’ll do it! You can do it!)

Finally, the older brother, who got the answer, “The Central Management Organization will take care of it,” ended the communication by saying, “Get it right in the future.”

As I was burning the beginning of the year, I shrugged at Lee Hyo-eul, who turned around with a tired face.

Then, Lee Hyo-eul said,

(Sobber.)

He cut off the communication, leaving only one angry comment.

============================ Review of the work ============================

Yes, I see.

I’ll write down what you’ve told me sooner or later.

And I think one of the illustrations will be completed faster than June 30th.

I’m happy that the illustrator had a lot of fun working on it.

First of all, the new illustration is a remake of one of the old ones as I told you before.

In other words, one of Seraf, Ko Yeon-joo, Ansol, and Han So-young is coming out with a new image.

Kim Soo-hyun + Hwajeong will come out later. 🙂
