Chapter 470
Sabacheon (2)
‘How do I do this??’
A dilemma.
You can't fight, you can't run away.
Pajik — Pajik!
The woman was already fully prepared and gaining momentum..
It seems that he thought that Hoon was a formidable opponent through the remnants left here, and that he intended to do his best from the beginning..
The moment when the situation reached a critical point.
“Now, wait! Please wait a moment, sister.!”
Just before things reached the point of no return, a voice that cut off the pulse rang out..
“Sohoe, wait a moment. Now, starting with that magic practitioner···.”
“Well, that is... I guess that's not it, sister! I think there's some misunderstanding.···.”
“···what? what do you mean?”
The woman frowned at that unexpected sound..
However, his gaze did not take off from Hoon until the end, watching his every move..
To respond immediately the moment he shows even a hint of something suspicious..
“He was the one who saved me from being kidnapped and imprisoned. In the process, we also defeated all the evil beasts..”
“···I wasn't with them.?”
“yes! Besides that, there are a lot of things that can't be explained..”
Yoon So-hoe persuaded my sister in a calm tone, as if her panic just moments ago was a lie..
He was a member of the Seongcheon Yun family, renowned for his intelligence..
When I was first exposed to the aftereffects of a negative mental wave, my head froze for a moment, but as a trustworthy ally appeared and I regained stability, I was able to feel a sense of discomfort again..
A conversation that strangely did not connect, such as not knowing much about Seongcheon Yunga..
The attitude of confidently using one's abilities and then belatedly trying to explain something after seeing one's own reaction..
Exotic clothing that I initially thought was unique and passed over..
‘Besides that, there are a few strange things. I was just a bonus, as was the fact that I came in to save that girl.···.’
The same goes for defeating the masters in the basement of the hideout first, and then defeating the novices on the ground on the way out..
According to common sense, if you entered from the outside, wouldn't it make sense to deal with the enemy from the outside first??
And there was one element in this world that could explain those incomprehensible parts..
“Are you perhaps from another world??”
A person from another world who crossed the dimensional wall.
Wanderers, each with unique abilities, grow at a rapid pace and bring about big and small changes in the world..
Yun So-hoe, a descendant of the Seongcheon Yun family, also knew them well..
Wasn’t their family’s founder from another world??
If you think that the ability that man showed was not magic chakra, but a part of such special ability.···.
“oh? That's smart. I was thinking about how to explain it..”
···I could fully understand that aspect..
Because there are quite a few things about the people of this world that don't match the common sense of this world..
Even taking that into account, it seems a little crazy..
“People from another world? That man is from another world?”
The woman with wide eyes couldn't hide her embarrassment and looked at the man again..
When I thought about it that way, I felt quite a bit of discomfort..
Until now, I thought that he was using some kind of means to hide his energy, but that was not the case, it seemed like he had not trained chakra at all from the beginning..
“Ha, but this... hmmm.”
The woman blinked several times and slowly began to calm down..
The reason she was hostile to Hun was because she thought he was a magic practitioner..
Their notoriety, disguised as humans, was literally terrible..
But if that wasn't the case···.
“···Still, not everything is certain yet. I can't just let it go like this.”
Finally, with a small sigh, she took a step back and came up with a compromise..
If this is all a trick of an evil magic practitioner, wouldn't it be like missing out on the evil in the world right in front of our noses??
As someone who was faithful to her principles, she couldn't take that risk..
“Excuse me, but would you please accompany us for a moment? There are already a few otherworldly people staying in our family, so it won't take too long to check..”
As long as it is confirmed, it can help us in various ways while we live on this earth in the future..
Hoon could only nod his head at her polite but firm-willed words..
‘Because I had nowhere to go anyway.’
Until Ramyu came to his senses, he had to be tied down in this world..
This situation wasn't that bad if you thought about having a place to stay for a while..
The warriors of the Yun family, who sensed the commotion, gathered one after another to settle the scene..
Hoon, carrying Ramyu, followed the two people..
It is the greatest trace left on this land by a great hero who brought peace to the world after ending a long great war a long time ago..
To the center of the storm that slowly began to swirl.
***
If I were to express the Sabacheon dimension in one word, it would be···.
It could be said to be a kind of ‘oriental fantasy’ world..
Starting with an architectural style dominated by wood and tiles, and a wide range of clothing with almost no cutting of fabric, etc..
At first glance, it felt similar to the Kang Hwan faction, which belongs to the martial arts world, but there was also a clear difference from that group..
‘It's amazing.’
In the middle of a downtown area of a fairly large city.
Hoon narrowed his eyes as he looked at a street vendor grilling skewers on the street through the window of a slowly moving carriage..
The sight of the fire in the brazier dancing around as it pleases and cooking the meat properly was almost like watching a stunt..
“huh? Are you hungry??”
“Ah, not that. He looks like just an ordinary citizen, but it's amazing that he can control chakra..”
“Ah, that was it..”
Yoon So-hoe glanced toward the street vendor following Hoon's gaze and shrugged his shoulders..
And he continued as if it was no big deal..
“Chakra is a power that anyone can handle as long as they understand the object. Of course, there are limits to growth without proper teaching and talent..”
As he said, the status of middle-aged street vendors was not that high..
Because he now looked lower than Yoon So-hoe, who was only in his early teens..
By this standard, it could be said to be an entry-level stage that has not even entered the lower class..
“It looks like that street vendor has been grilling meat ever since he opened his fire chakra. But in order to grow further, we need various other methods. Lighting a fire for several days and feeling its heat with your whole body, or sticking your hand into the fire, are very basic things.···.”
Hoon looked out the window again, casually listening to Yoon So-hoe, who was chatting and showing off her knowledge in the seat across from him..
That street vendor wasn't the only one who used chakra in everyday life..
A woman washing the laundry several times to dry it, a porter carrying a load disproportionate to his size, a merchant selling fresher vegetables, etc..
No matter how high the level may not be, the sight of even seemingly ordinary people using mysteries without a care in the world was bound to be amazing even to his eyes who had experienced various levels..
‘Chakra... seems quite useful..’
Hoon’s eyes sparkled..
Unlike other common mysteries, chakra, which deals with the concept itself, was an interesting topic for him as well..
If you can handle that, wouldn't it be a great help to yourself??
“···In that sense, there is a difference between someone who can simply use chakra and a practitioner. In order to raise one's level, one can only be called a practitioner if one can endure any kind of penance. Generally, from the moment you pass the entrance and enter the lower level,···.”
“Sohoeya.”
While watching Yoon So-hoe's general speech on the radio, I looked outside the carriage..
The woman who had been sitting quietly next to the boy opened her mouth softly..
“Arrived.”
“ah!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage they were riding in stopped..
At the main gate of the manor, the wall is so long that the end cannot be seen through the window..
“I discussed this situation in advance while contacting my family, so it won't take too long to complete the formalities..”
“ah! As expected, you are Lucette. thank you.”
“Well, of course it's something to do..”
The woman stroked Yoon So-hoe's head as she looked up at her with shining eyes—Yoon Lucette smiled softly..
Yoon So-hoe, a little girl with a western appearance, and Lucette Yoon, a beauty with an oriental appearance..
‘···I still can't get used to it.’
I couldn't help it.
If this is the culture of this world, then the outsiders have no choice but to adapt..
Hoon rested his head on his thigh and sighed softly as he stroked the hair of Ramyu, who was still sleeping..
***
The Shengcheon Yun family was a huge force recognized everywhere here in Sabacheon..
It had to be that way..
They were located between the Hongsan Kingdom and the Qinghai Kingdom, the protagonists of the Hundred Years' War. Although they were merely a family, if you think about it, they could be considered a military group and a monarch who ruled an independent city-state..
The power of the Yun family, which maintained the balance between the two great powers that divided the world and served as mediator between them, was that great..
‘Seeing it in person like this makes me feel amazing again. It is also true that such a force has been maintained without collapsing for decades..’
This was all possible because the origins of the Yun family were different from ordinary families..
Although they are said to be descendants, in fact, there was not a single member of the group who inherited the blood of the founder..
In the first place, weren't the people who followed the founder and the war orphans taken in during the uproar the beginning of the family??
To that extent, bloodlines were not that important to them..
“Wow!”
“hey! you come here!”
“Ahhh~ Sister···.”
Hoon, who was passing through the manor, came across another orphanage and stuck his tongue out..
What number is this?.
What was even more surprising was that, despite their young age, most of the children were so talented that they had opened or were on the verge of opening the chakra entrance gate..
‘Bringing in talented children from all over the world and raising them as equals to the family??’
That seemed to be the driving force behind Yoonga's success..
Yoon So-hoe, who is in his early teens and peeks into the middle class beyond the lower class, and Yoon Lucette, who reached the depths in his twenties..
They were all people who proved their qualifications and were allowed to use the surname ‘Yoon’..
“Hmm, I'm sure you're from Earth..”
“I think so too. It is difficult to acquire knowledge that is close to common sense..”
It wasn't that difficult to verify that Hoon was from another world..
All I had to do was chat with the Earthlings who stayed here as food guests..
Next came a small problem..
“Now, wait a minute! So, where are you from??”
Yoon So-hoe, who was watching blankly from the side, forgot his usual solemn tone and hurriedly asked back..
Lucette, who kept her guard up for Hoon until the end, also opened her eyes wide..
It was a very burdensome look in his eyes that flashed like lightning, but I had no choice but to answer..
“Korea... and if it's Seoul···!”
“Wait, then what about Sijo? Do you even know the founder??”
Everyone knows.
We had a conversation and even shook hands..
‘We also have a relationship where we decided to cooperate with each other..’
However, it was obvious what kind of reaction he would get if he answered like that, so Hoon just nodded..
Even though it took a while to calm down the two excited people,.
Among Earthlings, the probability of Koreans being transmitted to Sabacheon among hundreds of dimensions.
And the probability that they will survive until the end and reach the territory of the city-state of Shengcheon Yunjia..
Also, considering the possibility of revealing their identity and having a conversation afterwards... it was no wonder that they overreacted like this..
I'm not sure how many times it happened considering the decades, but considering their ages, it would have been difficult for them to have ties even then..
“A more detailed story···.”
“Sijo, are you healthy? What about our world?···.”
He slowly turned his gaze to look at a large picture hanging on the wall..
A world where everyone suffers from war, killing and killing each other..
Dozens of lightning struck from thunderclouds that filled the sky..
At the center of it all, a goddess descends to the earth with her whole body covered in sacred lightning..
Sabacheon Seongcheon (聖天) Yun Ji-yoon, founder of the Yun family.
In the district, he is the head of the Seoul Southern branch of the Korean Returnees Association..
‘···They don't look alike at all.’
Hoon, who was looking at the picture depicting a peerless beauty with a subtle expression, nodded slightly..
Well, glorifying the object of worship is everywhere..
‘Still, it worked out well. If you do this, you won't be treated badly. I guess I can stay here for a while and learn chakra..’
For some reason, several hours have passed and Ramyu still hasn't woken up..
There seemed to be no problem with his health... but if he continues to be like this, he will need to take some special measures..
There seems to be no place in the world as safe as here, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to use this place as a base to monitor the situation..
“So, the founder···.”
“Are you a founder?···.”
···No, maybe you should think again.
***
“failure?”
The thing in the dark twitched the corner of its mouth..
I couldn't help but react sensitively to the news that the plan that had already been reviewed and reconfirmed several times had failed..
“···The cause is?”
There was no answer.
But the thing in the dark seemed to have heard the answer and slowly nodded and began stroking its chin..
“No, there is no way the magic practitioners would have betrayed him. They are the ones who wanted this plan more than anyone else..”
The Hundred Years' War ended decades ago.
That period, when death, hunger, violence, despair, and pain abounded wherever you went, was truly the heyday of magic practitioners..
It is no longer a big secret that they were behind the war that lasted for such a long time..
Even saying that the current prestige had shrunk drastically compared to then was miserable would be an understatement..
If you think about it, the Seongcheon Yun family is no different from the enemy of all magic practitioners..
But there's no way they'd betray us and try to interfere with our plan, right??
“It's ominous. Let’s find out more. Everything related to this matter, down to the smallest details..”
For some reason, the being in the dark muttered lowly, feeling as if it would lead to great repercussions if it was ignored..
There was still no answer, but he quietly closed his eyes as if the entire conversation was over..
The plans that had been made so far and the things that needed to be done in the future were swirling around in his head..
“···The air is shaking.”
Although he had no precognitive abilities, he was able to vaguely sense the truth of the world thanks to opening the Astronomy Gate..
Even at this moment.
Something unknown is slowly reaching out to me..
But unless he was willing to give up everything he had done so far, his work was set..
“I guess I need to hurry up with my plans..”
Right after those words were finished.
The presence that remained in the darkness disappeared without a trace..
As if nothing had happened from the beginning.
