History of Territory Design - Episode 305
305fury. homecoming (2)
Beyond eons of time and space.
Someday, in a different dimension from Korea,.
‘‘Kiaora’ was the key material that made the Jewel of Truth shine..
placed at the very top of the jewel.
As if illuminating the world with the light of truth.
It was a decoration that announced the existence of Jewel to the world..
But in reality, Kiaora had no set form..
If you just come in contact with things around you.
So if you feel impressed.
Judge for yourself.
Evaluate yourself.
The material and shape of the object would be copied exactly..
Just like when it was placed on top of the Jewel of Truth, it was just a duplicate..
That's why no one has ever seen Kiaora's true form..
Even Dragon King Berkis did the same..
I just transported Kiaora to another dimension without thinking..
Kiaora only revealed her true face shortly after crossing the dimension and coming to South Korea..
It was a cubic metal cube.
Like dice thrown by the hand of God.
I jumped over the dimensional wall and fell into a warehouse at a railing factory in Korea..
kacang!
The warehouse was filled with iron railings that had been completed and were awaiting delivery..
Kiaora fell over the railing..
At that moment, Kiaora decided.
evaluated.
The railings are impressive.
I want to stay like this this time.
Right after that.
Tsutsutsutsutsu……!
A strange thing happened in an empty warehouse in the middle of the night..
Kiaora replicated the appearance of the railing..
It turned into a railing..
Stacked up in the warehouse like that.
spent a few days.
And it was delivered to Seoul City..
Namsan Tower, a famous landmark in Seoul.
It was installed as a railing to decorate the place..
It has been used as a ‘love lock railing’ where many couples hang locks promising sweet love and a future..
So today, the two men who came from the Laurasia continent were put in an awkward position..
“……What should I do about that?.”
Lloyd sighed..
his gaze turned to one side.
There, there were many couples at the Namsan Tower outdoor observatory..
Breathing in the fresh air of Namsan for the first time in a while.
Immerse yourself in the night view of Seoul spread out beneath the mountain.
Or leaning on the warm shoulder of a lover who came with you.
Whispering the sweetness of the present.
Whispering excitement about the future.
While salting in all directions.
There was a lock clicking on the iron railing..
But that railing was Kiaora, the last core material of the jewel.!
‘Oh my, I'm going crazy.’
Lloyd felt like tapping his forehead..
It was absurd.
I had no idea that the last core material would look like that(?).
So, because it is a jewel of truth that resembles a general’s gun..
Because it is the core material of that jewel..
Like other key materials so far.
I thought Kiaora might also be a large stone of a special shape..
So I thought it was buried at the foot of the mountain or used as a paving stone at the bottom of Namsan Tower's outdoor observatory..
‘Tsk. So I thought it wouldn't be that difficult to pull it out. But that…….’
It was in a very conspicuous place..
No, it was in the most crowded place at Namsan's outdoor observatory..
I got embarrassed.
Did that guy, Javiel, notice the situation as well?.
I tilted my head and asked.
“Lloyd.”
“uh.”
“if… … That iron railing that Lloyd is looking at now with a puzzled look..”
“Oh, right. That's it.”
“okay.”
“uh.”
“So what do you plan to do now?.”
“well.”
Lloyd pursed his lips..
“I originally wanted it to be in a place that wouldn't be too noticeable. That way it will be easier to pull it out. No one will make a fuss when they see us extracting key materials. I thought I could handle things quietly..”
“But I had no idea it would be in such a crowded place..”
“I agree. If you're going to pick that one, you can't help but get attention..”
So I was embarrassed.
No, it would have been fortunate if I had just received attention..
“People will go crazy. After reporting it, there is a lot of noise. Work has become a hassle.”
“That's right. Then would you like to wait?.”
“Uh, yeah, I'll take a look..”
Lloyd glanced around..
Without a watch or smartphone, it was difficult to know the exact time..
However, based on what I was seeing, I thought it was around 8 PM..
“First of all, it seems like this is the time when most people gather. Let's wait for now. Then, when people stop moving, I move..”
“All right.”
“Well then, shall we sit down and rest for a while?.”
“That's a good comment.”
There was a bench nearby..
I sat on the bench to catch my breath and cool off my sweat..
The wind that blows like it’s hitting my chest is cool.
I felt the Seoul air in the wind for the first time in a long time..
The memories of all those smells awaken memories..
Lloyd was deeply sentimental for the first time in a while..
People passing by glance this way.
There are also those whose eyes turn into hearts when they see Javiel..
I felt like a person from my hometown whom everyone wanted to say hello to and miss and welcome..
What's fun on TV these days?.
Are there any good songs?.
How have buzzwords changed in the meantime?.
How many series did Gallop City and Aifeng come out in?.
It's not that important, but I was curious about some things that came to mind..
That's why.
‘I still want to remember the scenery and people here.’
Although they don't know anything at all.
Although they are just people from Seoul who have been here for a long time,.
They are simply people who speak the same language and eat kimchi and soybean paste, but.
For this seemingly trivial reason, I felt a sense of friendliness to everyone here..
So I thought this was my hometown..
The couples hanging their locks on the love lock railing, or rather, Kiaora, the core material of jewelry, looked really fresh and warm..
“Hey Ijjana, it’s really nice to be up here. That's right?”
“Um, I don't know.?”
“why? The night view here is really pretty..”
“I'm not pretty at all. It's so bright that I can't even see the night view..”
“Is it bright? Where?”
“Our Jagi.”
“I don't know, let's kiss.”
Crackling!
‘It's really refreshing and warm.!’
Lloyd clenched his fists without realizing it..
I lament over the laws of this world that are cruelly collapsing..
With the heart to establish justice.
I glared at the chicken couple..
I muttered darkly..
“hey.”
“yes.”
“Let's just pick it now.”
“I strongly agree.”
With all my heart.
Lloyd too.
Javiel too.
I woke up suddenly with a heart full of resentment..
I walked towards the Love Lock railing, no, Kiaora..
Laying down the shoulder bread of justice for countless couples,.
I hear the complaints of couples being pushed away.
I stood tall in front of Kiaora..
As if I made a promise.
At the same time, he lowered his body and stretched out his hands to grab Qiaora's lower legs on both sides..
At that moment we exchanged glances..
With a pious heart and passionate gaze that purifies a corner of the dirty world.
I sincerely say fuck those chicken meat couples..
The three-pronged mana circle was rotated with full force..
Kiiiiing-!
A huge wave of mana amplified and filled the Mana Heart..
Provided overwhelming vitality to the muscles.
The vitality contains the will to punish the chicken-salty couples..
The result was a strength that surpassed that of an ordinary human being..
Pokwajak!
The love lock railing, no, Kiaora was pulled out on cue..
“……!”
People's eyes widened.
From when Lloyd and Javiel approach the railing.
I thought they were good-looking but strange foreigners..
I never imagined that the entire railing would be pulled out..
Moreover, I never thought that I would run away while carrying the handrail I pulled out..
“……There, there!”
“uh? Uh oh?”
“Wait!”
The cries of countless couples passed by my ears..
Just stand there for a moment.
I just put a lock on it.
I was about to propose, what are you doing?.
The cries of the couples flying towards the back of my head have become more urgent..
But Lloyd didn't stop walking..
Carrying Kiaora on his shoulders with Javiel.
With the feeling of being possessed by a wild boar in the Ural Mountains.
I ran straight through the crowd of people on the Namsan stairs..
“after! Phew! after! don't stop!”
“All right.”
I had already done something(?).
Lloyd and Javiel fled with Kiaora on their backs..
Stride length and running speed are exquisitely matched..
Sometimes I jumped down several wooden stairs..
I slid down a pathless mountain path..
But after a while, the surroundings became increasingly noisy..
“excuse me! There it is!”
“Tourists there! You can't take that.!”
Beep! Beep!
Is it because people reported it?.
Some people who appeared to be Namsan management staff found this place and ran over..
Their panicked cries and whistles filled Namsan noisily in the late evening..
But I had no intention of just stopping because of that..
“Ignore it and keep going!”
“yes.”
The two kept running.
Every time, the hundreds of locks on Kiaora made a loud clanking sound..
The noise was the same even after we came down from Namsan Mountain..
Thanks to this, two police cars welcomed us..
It seemed like they were dispatched after receiving a report..
So Lloyd?
“Oh, I don't know! keep running!”
Crumbling, clanking, clanking.!
No matter what the police car says through the loudspeaker.
I ignored it for now and kept running..
Because there was no need to listen..
‘of course! Write in response to instructions? They will try to arrest you for damaging public facilities and other things. It will have to be investigated. Even Kiao will be taken away. Even me and Haviel don't have ID cards, passports or anything right now.?’
He was literally no different from an illegal immigrant..
But haha, I tried to smile and cooperate with the police.?
There would be no gain in return..
“Come this way!”
I ran quickly near the Namsan Library and the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall..
Lloyd led, Javiel followed..
Still carrying Kiaora on his shoulder..
I ran like I was playing trains..
Of course, a police car came running behind me..
- stop! stop there!
Loud sirens and loudspeakers.
ignored.
I just ran in the direction of Hoehyeon-dong..
I deliberately went into a winding street in a residential area..
It was to avoid being pursued by police cars..
Old villas, shops, and complex alleys spread out in front of you..
It was a familiar road.
“Follow me. here.”
It was quite late at that time, so there weren't many people on the dark street behind the residential area..
Avoid people's gaze.
Along a residential street with the street lights turned off.
I moved quickly as if wandering through a maze..
Thanks to this, I was able to outrun the police car not long after circling the residential area..
I walk down an alley just for a moment to catch my breath..
Javiel looked at Lloyd's back as he walked ahead..
“By the way, Lloyd.”
“Uh, why.”
“Lloyd, did you know?.”
“Did you know, what.”
“If we come in here, we can shake off those who were chasing us earlier..”
“Then you didn't know?”
“yes?”
Javiel paused..
Fake Lloyd suddenly stopped walking and looked back..
Slightly frowning your eyebrows as if you were pathetic.
I gave a scolding retort.
“We went up that mountain earlier, right? But didn’t you just climb the mountain and look at the surrounding terrain? In that place with a wide view?”
“that…….”
“Tsk. Our Javiel, we still have a long way to go. When you come to an unfamiliar place, you need to scout the surroundings carefully. Where is the danger and where will it be safe? Or the route to take when a situation arises. Terrain that can be useful in certain situations. is not it?”
“…….”
“So this body has seen it in advance..”
“Are you talking about this place?.”
“uh. It looked just fine. There are small buildings tightly packed together. Between them, narrow roads are twisted like a maze. So I thought it would be a good idea to use it if I had to run away. result? As expected, as you see now.”
Lloyd shrugged..
I lifted my chin arrogantly..
“So, when you come to an unfamiliar place like this, all you have to do is trust this older brother and follow him. okay?”
“……okay.”
“uh? Why do you agree so obediently?.”
“Can't I do that?.”
“uh. no. Strange. I got goosebumps.”
“…….”
“who are you? Our Javiel is not this quiet, polite, and loyal guy. He's not the kind of guy who nods his head obediently without throwing up at anything I say..”
“…….”
“You, speak honestly. Where did we hide Javiel?.”
“Phew, really.”
Javiel stopped smiling bitterly..
“Who else could be this handsome other than me? But I have one more question..”
“What.”
“What is your phone number??”
“……what?”
“Earlier, when Lloyd left the room for a moment to go to the bathroom. A woman asked.”
“so?”
“I was nervous. I feel like if I tell you without permission, my identity will be revealed..”
“Yeah, good job. I don't know what the phone number is, but in that case, pretending to be flirty is the best..”
“also. okay.”
“yes.”
I started taking steps again.
The back of Lloyd moving ahead like that.
Javiel looked at that scene and thought to himself..
‘It's a joke. Now, like you?.’
I'm confident now.
No matter how much I pretend not to be.
No matter how unfamiliar I pretend to be here.
As expected, this place called Seoul seems to be the hometown of fake Lloyd..
A glance down the alley.
Steps to take direction.
I could feel it through all those actions..
It was the same when Lloyd took out Sir Podon and made him bigger..
“Po-dong? That way. If you go over there, there will be two big statues, right? Let's keep running while passing that. Because there is a return point at the end.”
“Podong!”
I rode on Lord Podon's back with Lloyd..
With Kiaora on Lord Podong's back..
I ran brazenly down the big street in the middle of the night..
Vehicles driving on the 12-lane road were frightened and blared their claxons..
The police car that had been driven away earlier followed behind again..
But I couldn't catch up with Podong..
Of course, we couldn't avoid CCTV or phone filming here either..
But it didn't matter, Lloyd thought..
‘I have no intention or plan to return anyway..’
There will be no problem if you drive on a 12-lane road in a Podongi..
Even if that image heats up the news and social media.
It will just end up as something that happened in a world that doesn't matter..
No one will even recognize you..
‘So there's no reason to stay here.’
Lloyd encouraged Podong even more..
Gwanghwamun intersection.
Finally arrived at the return point.
As soon as I arrived, the dimension shift magic reacted..
A three-dimensional magic circle arose..
Light lingered from all directions..
The dimension door has opened.
The familiar sight of Seoul has become blurred..
Meanwhile, Lloyd looked at the blurry Seoul..
Now, with only the starter word left to activate the magic circle,.
Thought.
I don't regret it at all.
I won't miss you at all.
I won't fall for useless sentiments.
I'll go back like this, without any regrets.
As if I'm repeating to myself.
I thought and thought again.
‘therefore…….’
Seoul is just a place I once lived.
The streetlights are now receding.
People shouting and car headlights.
Colorful neon signs and acrid air.
The neighborhood I was wandering around earlier, the neighborhood I was familiar with since I was young..
It's been a while since I've been to the residential area in front of the apartment where I lived with my mom and dad..
Likewise, the alleyways are piled up one after another as if countless memories are being painted over..
Everything is now just a memory left behind as a trace in fading colors..
‘therefore…….’
Lloyd unconsciously bit his lip..
As if saying a long goodbye to distant memories.
I mumbled the starter word low..
“……homecoming.”
