Chapter 399 3. Second Request – Rescue: Frozen Forest (5/5) =========================================================================

“Gwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…”.”

…Was it too much to be hit by the butt? The baby unicorn tried so hard not to fall out of my arms, and I quickly got in trouble. The reason for crying is that if I was surprised, I would shake your legs.

After all that time.

Eventually I saw the decision to go in with the baby unicorn. He was still young, so he didn’t feel much pressure, and it was a clear example to keep Han waiting.

“You should never be so arbitrary. Okay?”

“Kyu.”

But only after I was firmly determined once, just in case, I quickly climbed the stairs.

Soon after, when I pushed the door in, Han So-young was sitting on the sofa and tilting a cup of tea, and a man I saw for the first time was waiting for me. Maybe he’s the guest that Ansol mentioned.

The colorful lips that bit the teacup caught my eye for a moment, and soon came to my senses and opened my mouth.

“You’ve been waiting a long time. Istanbul Low Road.”

Han So-young looked at me once and nodded lightly. The neckline moves slightly to see if it is turning over the tea water.

“No, I’m the one who pops up and says….Uh.”

Then he seemed to greet me right away, but suddenly stopped talking.

“Hm?”

When I looked closely to see why, I could see her eyes stuck near my chest.

It was that moment.

“Kkyu?”

At that time, the baby unicorn, who was burying his head endlessly, suddenly stuck out his head. He’s full of curiosity, and when he sees new people, he seems to be interested.

I gently patted the head of the tilting guy and opened his mouth quietly.

“Come on, say hello.”

“Kkyu?”

“He’s a good man.”

“Kkyu kkyu.”

Then, the baby unicorn bows his head, cuckoo. At the same time, her gentle hand, which was putting down the teacup, stopped in the middle.

As she looks at the scene with a pleased heart, her eyes shake so violently that they can be seen. I tilted my head and sat face to face on the rest of the sofa, when Han So-young’s eyes turned to me.

It wasn’t long before her lips came off.

“Is it a unicorn?”

“Yes, he’s still in infancy.Oh, is this your first time.

“I’ve heard a lot. But it’s my first time seeing it.”

The table was served with a simple refreshment with herbal tea. After crying, the baby unicorn moves around and sniffs. But I pinched him to stay still and then glanced at the man next to me.

At first glance, his behavior was quite unusual. It’s because I’ve been showing anxiety all along since I came in. No, the feeling of just grazing my eyes…Is it horror?

After looking at him for a moment, I immediately opened my mouth.

“What brings you here today?”

“Yes, it’s no different.If you don’t mind, can I ask you a question?”

As she nodded to show her permission, her face turned faintly tense. As she always maintained her poker face like the real “Queen of Iron Blood,” her reaction a while ago and now was quite unexpected.

“On the way here, I saw a Hamill Clan flag hanging at the entrance..”

‘Aha.’

At that moment, I could understand Han So-young’s reaction right away.

The reason why the flag is hanging is simple.

Since I confessed my secret to my brother, a few days ago, the Mercy and the Hamil Clan have formed an alliance. The level of alliance was the “battle alliance” (which means attack and defense together), which was considered the highest level of alliance except merger.

In that sense, a small symbol symbolizing the Hamil Clan was hung at the entrance, and there was probably a misunderstanding. Since the patterns of the machineary have not been decided yet, it would certainly be strange for someone interested to see it.

“Not long ago, I formed a workshop alliance with the Hamil Clan. And I haven’t decided on the symbol of the beauty yet, so I haven’t hung the flag yet. That’s all.”

“If that’s all…”

“It’s not a merger, it’s not a subordination. Therefore, there will be no possibility of the Materials leaving Monica.”

I opened my mouth with certainty, and Han So-young’s face felt a little brighter.

“I see. I’m glad. And I’m sorry I shouldn’t have asked you that.”

“No, there’s a mistake on our end. Anyway, I’m glad the misunderstanding has been resolved.”

I guess Han So-young didn’t want to miss us anyway. And I also didn’t intend to leave Monica for a while, so I was grateful to tell you in advance.

Anyway, thinking about getting to the point, I opened my mouth to the barley bag of guguda rice paddies.

“But who’s next to you?”

Then she nodded as if she knew, and soon turned her head and said.

“Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t introduced it to you yet. Song Seunggyu?

“…….”

“User Song Seung Kyu?”

“…Oh! Yes, yes.”

As expected, a lot of course. So as soon as I checked the user information with my third eye, I could feel the pressure in my eyes. So he felt his back reflexively and groaned deeply about the fact that he had left his sword behind.

‘…No, we’d better wait and see for now.’

Soon after, a man named Song Seung-gyu looked at me carefully and opened his mouth with a stuttering voice.

“Oh, hello. So…My name is Song Seung Kyu. I’m the one who used to lead a small caravan until recently.”

Not too long ago means no more. I felt the smell of request, so I decided to focus on what I was saying. Of course I didn’t forget to keep an eye on his every move.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kim Soo-hyun, a mechanical clan rod.”

“The mechanical load is…. By any chance.”

“?”

“You played in the previous war…”Is that him?”

It’s him. It’s a word with a lot of implications.

Anyway, I nodded to say yes, and he looked back at Han So-young with a more relieved face.

Han So-young immediately opened her mouth.

“Mercury Road. The reason I’m here all of a sudden today is because I have a favor to ask.”

“Please?”

“Yes. Oh, should I say request? Have you ever heard of a frozen forest?”

Very. And of course I knew it well, so I nodded lightly.

Later, Han looked at Song Seung-kyu again, and he gently closed his eyes to see what he was trying to recall.

Soon his lips slowly opened.

“I mean… it was probably two months ago. Me and the Caravan’s colleagues in the war against the Allies were also involved in the subsequent siege and were ordered to patrol the frozen forest a few days before the order was given.”

“Yes.”

“So….”

*

…After the official dismantling order was issued, we immediately returned to the city. And after a few days of maintenance, I went on an expedition. Before the siege was dismantled, I was worried that someone might find it, so I wanted to get there as soon as possible.

Yes. Two weeks later, we arrived at the ice tower in the middle of the ‘Frozen Forest’ we had seen before. Of course, it’s not a tower made entirely of ice, and the ancient hull looked like it because it was covered with ice.

…didn’t look too good. Up close, the walls inside the ice were torn down and the rust in places was simply hideous. But the size was huge. It was huge, but it was huge. Is it almost the height of a 15-story apartment?

Anyway, I didn’t really want to get close to him, but…You know. What remains mean to users. We were so excited about exploring and getting here that we immediately went inside.

There was nothing special on the first floor. No. There wasn’t anything unusual when I went up. Not a single monster came out, let alone treasure.

My colleagues and I were very disappointed. But there was still a floor left, so I comforted my colleagues. Let’s go up a little bit. There’s still a place left, so let’s go to the end.

…I never dreamed it would be a source of trouble then.

I don’t remember which floor it is. However, one thing I felt when I opened the door and went up the floor was that it was completely different from the floor I had been through until then.

What do you call it… a maze? Yes, it was a maze. There is ice everywhere, and the road is a maze of very complex ice.

We somehow managed to find the way up the stairs and managed to find the door after all the trouble. And that’s when I found out.

That one of my colleagues is missing.

At first I thought I was lost, so I went back, but there was no sign of a colleague. Far from a trace, we got lost in the maze.

What’s really crazy and crazy is that when I realized I was so lost, two people were missing again.

Yes, the number of caravans that started with 11 including mercenaries has already decreased to 8, and after an hour of wandering, it has decreased to 5. Only then did I realize that things were wrong.

I decided to retreat right away from my colleague’s suggestion to back off, but even that was not possible. They’ve already…Because we were in a maze. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find the exit, and as time went by, we were in a terrible panic.

Then he finally came back to the door, and it was the door to the upper floor that he found earlier. And the moment we looked at the door, we were all frozen.

Why? There was a message on the door that wasn’t there before. One of the remaining colleagues was an expert in Gore’s interpretation, and he interpreted it and told me.

You’re looking for a way out.

Then open this door.

I thought about it for a moment and finally decided to open the door. Some of the remaining colleagues were dissuaded, but they thought it would be better to bump into each other than keep wandering. So I opened the door right after I got ready.

…it was dark in the room. And most of all, the scene was different once again. Just a dark, spacious room? It was just like that.

How long did he walk like that?

We stopped walking in front of a blocked wall again. And there was another long writing on the dark wall.

You really opened the door.

Thank you.

The moment I heard that, I felt that things were wrong. And then one of my colleagues screamed and ran away to the door, which made me even more confused. At that moment, I was thinking about what to do.

At that time, the colleague who interpreted it opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

Then never look back now.

At first, I wondered what he meant, but at that moment, as an archer, I could feel it.

The fact that something is approaching quickly outside our door. And my colleague’s saying, “Don’t look back,” is that I read what was written on the wall.

It was then.

Outside the door, a scream believed to have belonged to a colleague who ran away first was heard, and at the same time the door that had been tightly closed was wide open.

*

“…So what happened?”

At my question, Song Seung-gyu shook his head and clasped his face with both hands. It was not long before a hoarse voice leaked through the cracks of his hands.

“I don’t know. The moment I checked the door was opened, my eyes turned white. I remember walking around the room like crazy to avoid knowing what it was, and how I got out of the door.”

“And?”

“And… I don’t know. I sometimes remember running around like crazy…I don’t know how he got away. When I finally came to my senses, I was out of the tower.”

“I see.”

I crossed my legs calmly, looking at him, who still didn’t show his face yet.

In time, he lowered his hand and showed his face, and continued, eyes shining brightly.

“Please, I don’t think I’ll ever be alive, but…But they’ve been together for years. At least I want to know if it’s alive or not.”

“You’re saying you’re going to ask for a rescue.”

I changed my mind and corrected it to rescue.

For a moment, I thought it was really ironic.

Frozen Forest was clearly a memorable monument, but it was not on the list of explorations. Because it was a place to find out later in Istanbul Low. Rather than touching it for no reason, I was going to let it be revealed on its own.

Han So-young quietly opened her mouth to see if she felt my eyes.

“It’s supposed to be our job to deal with…Now, Istantel Lowe is putting all his energy into maintaining the city. It’s true that I don’t have enough money at the moment, so I want to ask for the help of a mechanical.”

The speech was good, but it was not enough to fully believe Han So-young’s words. It’s true that she’s busy, but there are a lot of clans under her. You can leave it up to them, but the reason why they came to see me….

‘It’s not from the flag, it’s from a long time ago. So after checking the facts, if it’s not, I’m sure you’re trying to take care of it.’

When I thought about it that far, I had a bitter smile. Still, it seemed to be a favor, but it seems that no full trust has been established yet. Well, maybe this is normal.

Crunch crunch. Crunch crunch.

As I lowered my head to the sudden sound, I saw a baby unicorn enjoying the refreshments on the table. I gave a short sigh and nodded once.

“All right, I’ll take care of this commission, from the Commercial Clan.”

Song Seung-gyu bowed his head so low that he couldn’t see his face, and shouted out loud.

“Thank you!”

Perhaps the sound was quite loud, and the baby unicorn, who was excitedly looking for refreshments, looked up and looked at him.

“Kyu, kyu!”

Then, he rushed at me with powder all over his mouth. Perhaps surprised by something, his whole body trembles like an asiatic tree.

‘…….’

Soon I smiled face to face at the white teeth reflected on the table.

“What? It’s a request.”

There’s a lot to gain there, too.

============================ Review of the work ============================

“Mercury Road. By the way, have you seen the postmortem examination?”

“What? No. I didn’t see it.”

“Well, I see.”

(Han So-young sprays the hawk’s eyes.

“Why, why do you think so?”

“Hmm.”

“?”

“Okay, if you see it, could you call me?”

“I see. Weren’t you with him?”

PS. It’s been configured for 4 to 5 sessions, so a lot of the progress will be omitted. The next episode will be arriving in a frozen forest, except for the introduction.
