Chapter 125 (1/2)
“Let’s greet the Chief.”
As the man got closer, the wizard bowed his head and greeted him.
‘Is that person Cordell?’
Soo-hyuk heard the wizard’s greeting and was able to know the identity of the man.
The man was Cordell, who was called the Master of Fire and the iron-blooded wizard.
‘He looks friendly.’
Cordell’s appearance was smooth. But why is it called an iron-blooded wizard?
‘Well, one shouldn’t judge a person by their appearance.’
It was very foolish to judge people by their appearance.
“Who is that?”
Cordell received the wizard’s greeting and asked the wizard.
“He said that he had come to see the Leader.”
The wizard quickly answered Cordell’s question.
“So you just brought him?”
“Yes, he had the proof.”
Cordell looked at Soo-hyuk with a slightly unexpected expression.
Soo-hyuk did not avoid Cordell’s gaze and looked face to face.
“Hello.”
While watching Soo-hyuk, Cordell bowed his head and said hello.
“Hello.”
In response to Cordell’s greeting, Soo-hyuk also bowed his head slightly.
“I’m Cordell, a Chief of the Tower of Fire.”
After receiving such greetings, Cordell introduced himself.
Then he looked at Soo-hyuk. Soo-hyuk could see why Cordell introduced himself from Cordell’s gaze.
It was clear that he introduced himself to understand who Soo-hyuk was.
“I’m Soo-hyuk from the Tower of Poison.”
He came because Fabian told him to go anyway. It’s not a bad thing, and there’s no problem with introducing him in this manner.
The moment Soo-hyuk introduced himself, Cordell’s face changed.
It was just for a moment, but surprise and embarrassment appeared and then disappeared.
“So, you were Soo-hyuk.”
Cordell said with a nod.
“From now on, I will guide you.”
When he finished talking, Cordell looked at the wizard.
The wizard, received the look, greeted Soo-hyuk and Cordell, and then went back down the road he had come from.
So the wizard descended and Cordell took the lead and began to walk.
‘He’s silent.’
Soo-hyuk thought, walking behind Cordell.
Cordell didn’t say a word, just walking silently.
Ttog ….. Ttog….
Fortunately, the silence did not last long. Soon, Cordell stopped at a door, knocked and opened his mouth.
‘Are you there?’
They seemed to have arrived at the destination, Brinis’ room.
And Soo-hyuk’s prediction was exactly right.
“Brinis. A guest has come.”
It was Brinis’ room.
“A guest?”
A voice from the inside answered Cordell’s call.
The owner of the voice was clearly Brinis.
Soon after, they heard a dampened voice and the footsteps got closer, and then the door opened and Brinis, the owner of the room, appeared.
“..?”
As soon as he saw Brinis, Soo-hyuk tilted his head.
‘I think she looks familiar.’
He felt like he saw her somewhere.
‘Is it just a feeling?’
Did he mistake her for someone else?
It was then.
“… … Soo-hyuk!”
Brinis called Soo-hyuk.
‘She knows me?’
Soo-hyuk panicked when his name left Brinis’ mouth. It was not because he knew her name, but because he knew her. Cordell didn’t tell her, so how would Brinis know? Of course she know the name. But how did she know how he looked?
‘I think I know from where I know her…’
It was clear where he saw her. It was obvious that they have encountered each other.
A memory suddenly resurfaced and Soo-hyuk opened his mouth looking at Brinis.
“Long time no see.”
He remembered.
‘That’s the woman I saw when I was drinking poison back then.’
She was the woman he saw when he went to Fabian to drink poison because of the <’30 days’ journey> quest.
He couldn’t even imagine,…
‘To think she was the Lord of the Tower of Fire.’
“Oh! Do you remember me?”
Brinis beamed a wide smile at Soo-hyuk’s words.
“Yes, I remember.”
“Oh my God. I just saw you for a while. You have a very good memory!”
It was then.
“Then I will be excused……”
Said Cordell. And after greeting, he went back the way he came.
“Shall we go inside and talk?”, said Brinis after Cordell disappeared.
“Yeah.”
Soo-hyuk responded to Brinis and entered the room.
‘Is it because the tower of fire?’
The moment Soo-hyuk entered the room, he felt the heat. Was it because of the Tower of Fire?
“Please, sit!”
Brinis offered Soo-hyuk a seat. Then Brinis sat on the other side and asked, holding the teacup on the desk.
“Would you like tea?”
“No, thank you. I’m fine.”
Soo-hyuk responded with a smile and opened the inventory.
“And here… …
And he took out Fabian’s letter and Brinis’ token from his inventory.
“The leader of Tower told me to deliver it.”
“You can keep the token!”
Brinis returned the token to Soo-hyuk and took up Fabian’s letter. Then she opened the letter and began to read it.
“Wow… …
Brinis, who was reading the letter, made a strange snort.
Soo-hyuk was puzzled by Brinis’ snort.
