Chapter 436 00436 The Sleeping Mountains. (1/2)

A cool breeze blows. And there were so many users' hair hanging out. A woman's dark hair is scattered into the air, and she shakes her head back to her original position.

”Queen of Blood and Iron” Han Soyoung. As the title suggests, there was a woman who didn't even blink an eye, but now her eyes were filled with a sense of tension.

The place where the woman's gaze reached was a flat area surrounded by mountains high above sea level. However, it is not well visible. The basin was covered with cloudy fog, only a dark and dreary aura flowed out and held the steps of those looking down.

Again, the wind blows.

This wind was also cool, but I feel something different. It felt like some kind of warning, the presence of something unpleasant and sticky. It's like, ”Come any closer and you'll die.” like I said.

Tra n sl a t e d b y Jp mtl.ｃo ｍ A moment later, a man approaches the woman. A man with a slightly luminous chain mail grips a large axe with both hands. However, the man seemed very nervous because his hands were slightly trembling and a drop or two of sweat was coming out.

Soon the man opened his mouth with a cautious face.

“Clan Road. The summoned queen's army will not return. ”

“... I know. I confirmed the disappearance five minutes ago. ”

The woman accepted it lightly. However, I didn't know that the word ”extinction” would come out, and the man widened his eyes and showed his emotions.

The woman sighs softly, but turns her head. And you gaze at the clans standing in line behind you.

Clan Istantel Row.

They were as powerful as the reputation spread across the North Continent, but their faces were not so different from women or men. Rather, I saw the fear in his liver, overwhelmed by the energy coming from the basin in front of me. T rans lat e d by ｊp ｍ t l .ｃoｍ

“... Should I just go back? ”

It was a voice of sadness. The woman turns her head again and stares at the basin with sad eyes. After all the hard work, I came all the way here, and it was just a waste to turn around.

However, the other thought was not so, the man calmly shook his head and asked the woman to calm down.

“Clan Road. Remember the end of Jung Chang-min. He breathed and stopped them from going inside. Though we have managed to get here, we may have to make more sacrifices to attack the ruins. ”

Jung Chang-min was a member of Istanbul Low's clan until the day before, and a well-known user of his ability to handle the outcome. He was also a unlucky user who had been eaten in the 'dragon sleeping mountain range' by a single mistake.

'Evil, cries, despair, flesh, hatred, etc…. Anyway, as I go inside, I feel something very bad. Clan Road. Actually, I really didn't want to go there. Sorry….'

The woman was silent for a while. I just closed my eyes like a habit. And after chewing my lips for a long time, I broke the silence and opened my mouth.

“Let's go back.”

Eventually, the woman's waiver fell. And the clan members, who were watching, turned around and looked relieved together.

At the same time, a long sigh came out of the mouth of a young man who was standing at the very back.

*

“I don't like it. ”

It was very late. Clan members were exhausted by the vigilante today and went into their sleeping bags as soon as they finished dinner, and only me and Heo Junyoung were left standing.

Tak, Tak!

T ra nsl a ted b y Jpm t l.ｃ oｍ As I tried to throw away the splintered firewood, I turned my eyes to look at Heo Junyoung. The reaction was too late to think of anything else for a while. Soon after Eagle Eagle is thrown into the blazing campfire, the table pops up again.

It wasn't until I saw the flames rise again that I opened my mouth.

“What, are you going to save An-hyun? ”

“Just everyone. I'm going to save An-hyun and I have to attend to this. ”

I have to be part of this.

I calmly stared at Heo Junyoung. There was a dark purple light flowing on the long hair that had grown to the waist of the man. The outfit you're wearing is a black coat, with unknown symbols engraved all over it, emitting a subtle light.

Heo Joon-young took out his sword and laid it on his leg, blindfolded. I don't know what he was thinking, but his sensitivity felt totally dark. I felt warmer than a man with a sword in his hand.

Later, Heo Junyoung opened his eyes and looked at me. It was the eyes that glowed dark, like the hair color.

“A year ago. So when I just joined the mercenary, something like this happened. ”

“A year ago? ”

Doubtful, I recalled something a year ago.

The first relationship with Heo Joon-young was when he worked as a Wanderer Killing Jo. Immediately, the vagrants came in and went out of the slaughter with information of a hideout, and by the time they got there, they could see the user arriving one step ahead.

The user was Heo Junyoung. He was alone in the battle with nearly a hundred vagrants, including the Viceroy.

At that time, Heo Jun-young... I don't know. I've been preaching in my own way, but I think I was in a pretty dangerous situation with the vagrant's systematic response. So I came out and killed Joe, who immediately backed him up and wiped out the vagrants.

Of course, Heo Junyoung didn't join right there. He then gave a simple gesture of gratitude and said, ”One day I will repay you.” Leaving a note behind, I turned my back on user information.

Unfortunately, the reunion between me and Heo Junyoung was held by Lee Hyo, the protector of the North Continent. It turns out that Heo Junyoung's identity was the role of helping Yi Hyo to become the hands and feet of Yi Jungyoung. At that time, I went to deal with the vagrant. I was asked by Lee Hyo. Translated b y Ｊpmt l .ｃ o ｍ

At that time, Lee Hyuk found a successor. As soon as the acquisition was over, he quit the Guardian, and similarly, Heo Junyoung's contract with Heo Joon-young was already preparing to finish.

So Lee Hyo-young proposed that we stop both of them anyway, and take Heo Jun-young from Mercenary beforehand.

Since then, Heo Jun-young and I had a little chat and joined the formal process.

It was a good thing that I got one user who was comparable to the rest, and Heo Junyoung also has a duty to repay the favor, so I joined in return.

The memory is followed by a tail. Whether I didn't think of it, Heo Junyoung said in a slightly stuffy tone.

“About Ahn Hyun, something similar happened a year ago. And I'm having a hard time fixing it. ”

“Oh, that. But... It's not even comparable to then. ”

Heo Jun-young shakes his head slowly, smiling freshly.

“Isn't it a similar context in the end? After that, I wanted to be a little quiet, but the thunder-naked guy caused trouble again. I mean, you didn't follow your control then and now. ”

“That's right. ”

“... So why don't we just leave it at that? Honestly, I'm running out of love for him on this one. If you're lucky, you'll come back alive, and if you're unlucky, you can't help it. We're not sure... ”

“You can't do that. ”

I just cut and answered. And he spoke in a resolute voice.

“I decided to save them, and the rescue team is already here. I know what you mean, but I don't want to change my mind, I don't want to change my mind. You go back on your own to get back. ”

Tra n s la ted b y Ｊp mt l.ｃo ｍ Tak, Tak!

Suddenly, a thick fire erupted from the blazing fire. Heo Jun-young waved her head slightly, whether she was hit by a fire dung.

And after a long time, I opened my mouth slowly.

“... I hate that. ”

“Dragon Sleep Mountains are dangerous places. We can't start pulling together and already being uncooperative. ”

“It was just an idea. Now that I think about it, I have no choice but to go in. ”

“It's inevitable. ”

I smiled bitterly. A while ago, words were a habit rather than being the heart of Heo Junyoung. He was going to lend me his power eventually, but before that, he had a habit of grumbling. You know, sometimes it feels like you're seeing a cat. Well, a guy's a cat, but it's a little inappropriate.

It was then.

“Huh?”

“Hmm.”

Again, while slowly shriveling to pick up the firewood, Heo Junyoung and I turned our heads to one side at the same time. It's because I suddenly felt the slightest vibrations from the earth. The vibrations that seemed to dig a tunnel were still felt constant.

'Is that a Zakhalod...? The number is about 30.'

Zachary Lord. Simply put, he's a monster on the ground. The body itself is a monster optimized for digging or living underground, and they are vicious to raid while users sleep.

Rrrrgh! Shhh!

“Now that I think about it, it's time to change the number... Bye. Sleep first. ”

Heo Joon-young immediately got up and drew his sword with a cool skill. The blade's width was very thin, but its length was very long, almost like its own height. From now on, I slowly opened my mouth as I looked at Heo Joon-young who was wearing a sword on his shoulder.

“You can come with me. ”

“Not really. I don't think they're following us... I don't care if there are dozens of peasants. ”

'They're following us.'

Heo Junyoung replied as if it was spilling. I listened carefully to him.

The followers who just brought it up are the users or vagrants who have been following us from the moment they left Monica. The distance control was so delicate, I was just feeling like someone was following me, but I felt really good about it.

“Anyway, I'll be back soon. Don't worry, go to bed first. ”

In Heo Joon-young's conviction, I nodded my head and raised my body. If you are that good, it will be funny to call them ”peasants.”

“Should I wake him up? ”

“No, thank you. I'll wake you when I get back, so give me one for the beginning of the year. ”

Throwing it out on a request for a year's wager, he grabs it with his thin fingers. At the same time, the moment he lightly leapt over the earth, Heo Junyoung's body suddenly disappeared, as if he had used an arctic projection. He was a highly agile incognito class like me.

After checking for a rough fire, I buried myself in a sleeping bag.

Later, there was a great surge of darkness on one side, the sound of cutting through the earth, and the supposedly screams of the Zacalod.

I slowly fell asleep, accompanied by those sounds.

It was a little foggy, but the sky was clear and blue this morning.

We simply finished eating and left early in the morning. As you set out, you hear that Ansol and the well slept well well, but you don't seem to know that they almost got attacked by Zakhalod.
