Chapter 182: Choose (2) (2/2)

Eshnunna’s forehead wrinkled

“But ould she relay a e to me…?”

Chi-Woo didn’t know the exact reason, but he had a guess He crossed his arms and ruminated over what she had said

‘Quickly…me’ What could she have meant? “…Help me” Or it could have been, “Tell</euesses as they came to mind “Find me”

“Find…me?” Eshnunna tilted her head

“Lady Witch soht”

“Ah…”

“She ic on this broom”

“…”

“But she couldn’t find me, so she asked you to pass this on to me since she’d met you before”

Chi-Woo’s conjecture seemed believable, so Eshnunna nodded

“…Or” Chi-Woo took a deep breath and said, “it could be both” Chi-Woo knew that his brother had used some kind of special ability to protect this space People who hadn’t come here and memorized the ouldn’t be able to easily find it Since his brother of all people took great care to round, it was reasonable that even Ms Evelyn wouldn’t be able to find hirasp of the situation, Chi-Woo decided to confirain with Eshnunna

“Ms Eshnunna, you said you found this pole at the threshold, right?”

“Yes, that’s right”

“Hoas it placed?”

“What? It was just…”

“No, Ithe outside or the inside? Please tell me exactly hoas placed”

“Is that important?”

“Yes, it could be”

Eshnunna fell into thought at Chi-Woo’s firm answer She did remember how it looked exactly “It was placed from the hallway to the room, and I remember the broom was halfway across the threshold

Chi-Woo’s eyes narrowed Half of the broom had crossed the threshold

“Is that…bad?” Eshnunna cautiously asked at Chi-Woo’s sudden quietness Chi-Woo didn’t reply He didn’t want to worry her further since she already looked quite anxious The fact that the threshold she saw in her drean A threshold was at the botto the threshold could be interpreted inthe line…’ For example, the threshold could be interpreted as the boundary between this world and the afterlife In this case, it could be interpreted as crossing the River Styx or the Sanzu River Fortunately, the broom hadn’t completely crossed the threshold, but only halfway in Then it could be interpreted as a sign that so the river or was about to cross it Whatever it ood chance that the witch was in serious trouble Of course, he couldn’t jump to conclusions yet Dream interpretation was always a fickle and uncertain art

However, Chi-Woo was sure that it wasn’t just a less dream The broken broom was clear proof of that Thus, he needed uesses “Ms Eshnunna” Chi-Woo unfolded his arht at her “As I told you before, I can’t get out of this place right now”

“Yes, I understand”

“So I’d like to ask you to gather information in my stead”

“Gather information?”

“Would you be able to find out what had happened to the Abyss recently? Even a reat”

Eshnunna stared at Chi-Woo She didn’t knohy, but si to Chi-Woo like this seemed to have washed away her anxiety She had been a bit suspicious when Chi-Woo suddenly grabbed her hand without per to him, she was certain that he was the same person as before No matter how difficult the situation was and how unfair the conditions were, he was the savior who changed their despair into hope Taking another look, Eshnunna found that he seemed to have becolistened with intelligence, and his body looked stronger and bigger Butand refreshi+ng Sensing it was enough to clear her cluttered mind

‘What’s with…me?’ It was probably an illusion, but there see from behind Chi-Woo’s back This man was a hero in whom she and her people could put their trust and faith Eshnunna’s face, which had looked strained and anxious the whole time, became as peaceful and vibrant as before

With her eyes sparkling, she answered vigorously, “…Yes, I got it!”

After Chi-Woo finished his conversation with Eshnunna, he found Noel waiting for hifor her fro just in case, but you’re not like that, right?”

“What?”

“It’s not like that, right?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, come on You knohat I ave her a blank look ‘What’s up with her?’</ehtening her posture “I do trust your judght face, “But since I was given orders to take care of you, I’ll say a word of advice”

What was she going on about now?

“Young master, you’re a direct descendent of the Choi family, the second son, and above all, Lord Chi-Hyun’s brother”

“So?”

“Your behavior and attitude must match your status and position”

Chi-Woo frowned He really had no idea what she was talking about

“To put it bluntly—your partnerthe Choi family”

Chi-Woo couldn’t believe his ears, but Noel continued seriously, “Even the Ho Lactea fahtiness, show their respect towards the Choi family How could you consider a native princess of a ruined kingdom, asn’t even a hero, as your life partner? It’s simply absurd”

…What?

“I and of course, Lord Chi-Hyun and all the elders of your family would never allow it I understand what you ht up in it and end it soon”

“No, you—”

“I sincerely apologize for stepping overyou in advance just in case”

Chi-Woo was so flabbergasted that he becaed their relationshi+p How could anyone be so wrong?

“Since you’re smart, I’m sure you understood my advice… Well, I’ll take my leave” Noel bowed and quietly left Chi-Woo placed his hand on his forehead He was dizzy, and his face felt hot He felt embarrassed as well Hoould Eshnunna react if she had heard the nonsense all this was

–Why? What’s wrong with our family?

Philip pouted; he seeuy…’ Philip and Noel—Chi-Woo shook his head He had no idea why they were acting like this

When Eshnunna returned to the capital, she eagerly started her given mission and collected inforht she could Even though she had heard big news about the Abyss, she couldn’t find out much since their territory was quite far away Eshnunna realized she couldn’t get the information she wanted inside the capital and needed to hear from someone outside the city

Currently, heroes were distributed in three places—the capital, the fortress where the maek was, and the city that had become a Godly territory Eshnunna heard that somaek fortress had returned to the capital, so she rushed there to find them There was only one reason a hero would come here, and it was to visit the Shahnaz temple Eshnunna found her way there and saw a small crowd There was a commotion inside

“It’s all because of you!” One of theroup cried out as well Soround on?’ Eshnunna instinctively headed towards the crowd, and her eyes widened when she saw the figure sitting prone
