Chapter Index

    Sayun, who was watching the crackling bonfire, looked at the things in her hands.

    Necklace and bracelet.

    Both were colorful and beautiful accessories. Of course, its value will be considerable.

    “Hehehe…”

    “Kkeukkeuk…”

    But is it better than the rewards obtained after breaking through the two secret realms? I couldn’t help but have doubts about the question.

    Even the sword collection owned by the apprentice and the brain sword obtained from the secret destination that Namgung-cheon visited this time.

    These were items that would cause a stir if they went out to the martial arts world.

    So, in a way, it is fortunate that Doje and Namgungcheon obtained those things.

    Anyway, it has returned to its rightful owner. The treasures of the Chae family go to the Chae family, and the treasures of the Namgung family go to the Namgung family.

    No one can fault that.

    “Anyway, is there anything else you want?”

    “Hmm. I’m fine.”

    As the blessings he received from breaking through the secret world were considerable, Sayun was not greedy.

    Dog house? Sayun did not use Tao.

    Brain scan? I have a sword that I got thanks to my uncle.

    And things like jewels, armor, and secret weapons were not greatly needed by Sayun.

    That’s why she smiled at Chae-ryeon’s question, and the doje, who was enjoying stroking the dog, smiled and said,

    “I will give everything I get from the next secret site to Hongseongmun.”

    “Huh? Is it still okay?”

    “Of course. hey. He’s an old man. Are you okay?”

    “Sounds obvious.”

    The next secret site, Yuwol said, was a secret site created by a person called ‘Chamak’.

    Since Yoo-wol didn’t say who it was, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to take whatever comes out of there from Hongseongmun.

    “Now. Well, I guess it’s about time. Shall we go in?”

    Namgungcheon, who was watching the bonfire, opened his mouth and held up a thunderbolt.

    He broke through Chae Hyeon-gwang’s secret realm and urged his companions to move right away. Wearing the lightning sword on his waist, which was a reward from the secret realm of the Bicheon swordsman who broke through, he opened his mouth, and the apprentice, who checked the time while looking at the sky, also stood up and spoke to Chae-ryeon.

    “Ryeon. Are you ready?”

    “Yes. Because it is said that the way opens when the stars are shining in the sky. The time will be right now.”

    She moved the sarcophagi around her. When Yuwol changes the position of the sarcophagus as written, light begins to emanate from the sarcophagus.

    As the light gathered in one place, the four people were amazed.

    The entrance to the secret world made of light began to reveal itself.

    “Ah. This is why it is said that it is only possible at certain times…”

    The stars in the night sky do not always stay in one place. So, Yuwol’s explanation that one can only enter that secret place at a certain time and in a certain location is immediately understandable.

    “How does your brother-in-law know this?”

    Because that’s how it used to be, man. I know a lot, and I don’t regret sharing what I know with others.

    Sayoon smiled without even realizing it.

    It was like that before. Let me tell you about the secret places hidden in Hongseongmun Gate, or tell me about Hyeonwungap.

    In addition, it was the same when he sent me a clue to enlightenment.

    He would give something that someone really desperately needed without any regrets.

    “It won’t be easy.”

    “Huh? What?”

    “Uh…”

    Sayoon, who was about to open her mouth, smiled.

    “It’s nothing.”

    I want to be like my uncle.

    I want to become someone similar to my uncle.

    Sayoon was embarrassed to reveal it, so she just scratched her cheek.

    “Now. Let’s go in.”

    Nangong Cheon placed his hand on the door made of light. At the same time, the door opened and Sayun slowly took a breath.

    okay. Because that’s not possible now.

    So, for now, let’s start by doing the work that you trusted us to do.

    Is it because there is a strategy written by Yuwol? Breaking through the secret area itself wasn’t that difficult.

    He also wrote down the countermeasures for the monsters encountered in each room, so there was no danger.

    When they arrived at the last room, Chaeryeon read the paper Yuwol gave her.

    “The owner of this secret place is a monster called Syeong (鏡邪). Relative law is… well. There’s a mirror over there, right? They say you just have to catch the slope coming from that mirror. However, you must not attack your father or elders carelessly. Please only attack the mirror I attacked first.”

    “Huh? Why?”

    “It says that if you attack when you shouldn’t attack, the sergeant will reflect the attack back to everyone in the room. Except for when a gap was created, it was just me and Sayoon. The two of us need to take the lead.”

    “Then, unless there is a special situation, it is better for us to just defend. It doesn’t matter. Would it be better than that?”

    “Of course. Sayoon. Are you okay?”

    “Yes.”

    Chae-ryeon grinned at Sayun, who nodded seriously. If so, great.

    “Now. Then shall we go?”

    As soon as you go inside, the walls inside the room move. As numerous mirrors installed on the wall appear, a strange sound is heard.

    -Hey. Hehehe. Hehehehe!!

    A laugh that sounds like glass breaking. Sayoon bit her lip slightly as the sound sent shivers down her spine just by hearing it.

    And that moment.

    -Kyahaaaa!!

    Something jumps out of the mirror on the ceiling. It was a woman with a scythe on one arm.

    Sayoon calmly swung his sword at her, who fell while screaming in madness.

    -Chaae Aeng!!

    “Be careful!!”

    Sayoon gritted his teeth and spun around to avoid the attack, cutting into the woman’s body.

    -Aaaah!!

    The woman who came out of the mirror disappears. Is this the end?

    Sayun bit her lip slightly and pulled out her sword. I don’t know where the attack will come from.

    It was when the sergeant, who appeared here and there in the mirror, repeatedly revealed and hid himself as if teasing them.

    “Now!!”

    Chaeryeon swung her sword, aiming for the opportunity when the sergeant attacked Sayun. Surado’s pottery is stuck in the mirror where the auspicious sign was displayed, and the sword of the Thunder Sword King and the martial art of the swordsman are displayed.

    The mirror caught up in the enormous energy eventually could not withstand and broke.

    -Aaaah!!

    A scream echoes again. When the sergeant, who was angry that his mirror was broken, focused his attacks on Chae-ryeon, Sayoon ran towards him and swung his sword, leading the sergeant toward him.

    Hongseong Shingong Swordsmanship. Chronic wave.

    Her sword swings splendidly along with the multi-colored light emanating from the sword. In that sword strike, all of the light and sickle attacks that the sergeant fired were nullified, and Chae-ryeon took advantage of that opportunity to attack the mirror again, and in response, Doje and Namgung-cheon also attacked the mirror.

    -Changerang!!

    Was it because two mirrors were destroyed in an instant?

    The slope’s movements begin to become more cautious.

    The apprentice asked while holding the sword in response to the sergeant’s actions of not showing his appearance.

    “Can’t we attack the remaining mirrors now?”

    “Then it says it will be reflected.”

    “I see.”

    In the end, you have to destroy the mirror when the sergeant attacks.

    Now it is a battle of concentration.

    Dojedo, Namgungcheondo, Chaeryeondo, Sayundo.

    I held my breath as I waited for the sergeant to attack me at any moment.

    Tension soars.

    And, as if he couldn’t bear the tension, Sayun slammed his sword into the floor.

    “Phew…”

    And I took my time breathing slowly.

    The sergeant, who took the opportunity to see her actions that clearly showed a gap, struck down Sayoon.

    She grabbed the sword that was lying down and opened it.

    Hongseong Shingong Swordsmanship. Late onset.

    Swordsmanship that deliberately induces an enemy’s attack and counterattacks.

    The sergeant’s head was cut using the swordsmanship that Hongryeon had learned not long ago, and Chae-ryeon chuckled.

    “That’s good!!”

    Induce an attack

    I can’t be held here forever.

    Chae-ryeon leisurely put down the Sura sword and closed her eyes, Doje pushed the Black Moon sword into the sword case, and Nam Gung-cheon grabbed the bottle.

    -Kyaaa!!

    The sergeant became angry at the four who seemed to let their guard down, as if they were openly laughing at him, and attacked them.

    Without knowing that is what they want.

    -Aaaahhh…

    It would have been dangerous to fight without knowing.

    Since the sergeant’s movements changed from pretending to attack to then just turning away, if he made a mistake it would have been reflected and he would have suffered greatly.

    However, since they already knew detailed information about the sergeant, there was no way they would fall for something like that.

    In the end, the last mirror was destroyed by Sayun’s hand, and the sergeant, who had nowhere to go, went outside and screamed in panic before being destroyed like the other mirrors.

    “Phew. It was a troublesome enemy.”

    It would be better to just have a strong enemy. It was really not easy to deal with a sergeant who seemed to encapsulate the idea that if you don’t know, you will suffer.

    “There were a lot of hardships.”

    “Doje seniors too. And Mr. Namgung worked hard too.”

    Sayun smiled brightly, and the apprentice nodded as he approached her.

    “But thanks to you, I was able to catch the slope quickly.”

    “Hehe. What.”

    If Sayun had not used the method of inducing the enemy’s attack, he might have made a mistake at least once while waiting nervously for an attack.

    And that one mistake could have been fatal.

    “Now. Then, shall we check the rewards?”

    “Huh? Wait. What is this?”

    There was a small mirror where the sergeant’s body had disappeared. It looks similar to the Heart Mirror, but it is a different mirror.

    Sayun picked it up and tilted her head.

    “What mirror is it?”

    “Well…? It looks like something precious. I’ll have to ask you later.”

    Sayoon thought nothing of it and put the mirror in her arms.

    Meanwhile, the apprentice who had entered the reward room brought a box, opened it, and took out a sword, a book, a large expensive-looking jewel, and a medicine that appeared to be an elixir.

    “He asked you to bring him this sword, right? And as for the rest, as promised, I will hand over everything I gained here to Hong Seong-moon.”

    At best, it’s just a mirror and a reward for holding on to the slope.

    Still, considering their value, it was not something that could be given away so easily.

    “Uh. But…”

    “It’s okay, so keep it in. What should I do? Let’s go talk to Yuwol.”

    Only after Namgung-cheon spoke warmly did Sayun nod.

    “Now. Then shall we go back?”

    After passing the last secret area and continuing to run until she saw Seomhwaseong Fortress, Chaeryeon burst into laughter.

    “Ahaha! oh my god. I did something that would freak out other secret hunters if they heard about it. If this becomes known, your brother-in-law’s reputation will increase, right?”

    It will happen.

    If you knew the exact location of a secret area and could even figure out how to break through it with just instructions, there would be plenty of people who would do anything to buy that information.

    There are many families and clans like the Munwoljeong and Namgung families who have lost their family treasures or whose treasures only appear in records.

    So, if this incident became known, it was natural that they would also visit June just in case.

    ‘Not only that, but you said you know how to save even half of the Heavenly Demon God’s skills…’

    Sayoon slightly bit her lip and grabbed Chaeryeon.

    “Do I really need to tell you that?”

    “Huh? Why?”

    “No. Because you could be dangerous.”

    “Hmm. Actually, that’s right. father. This is…”

    “You should just keep your mouth shut. hey. gaffer. Don’t let anyone know either.”

    “I know.”

    Nam Gung-cheon, who spoke indifferently, stroked the lightning sword hanging on his waist.

    “After I return and report to Yuwol, I will return to Sega.”

    “Huh? Do you want to go back to Namgung House?”

    “Ah. That’s not it. After telling you about Noejeongeom and Bicheongeomja, I plan to go to the north.”

    Sayoon and Chaeryeon were disappointed to hear that Namgungcheon was leaving. Still, we became a lot closer.

    Namgungcheon smiled at them.

    “But don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”

    Namgungcheon, who spoke leisurely, glanced at Seomhwaseong. By the time you return, the island castle will have grown even bigger.

    He entered the castle, wishing there were more bathing facilities when he returned, and others followed him.

    When we walked down the bustling streets of Seomhwaseong, the guesthouse was still crowded.

    Sayoon found a man busy working among them and smiled without knowing it.

    June.

    The person who will become the husband of the teacher, the ambassador, and my close older sister, Chaejin.

    and.

    Dear uncle.

    So it is inevitable that you will smile as soon as you see him.

    “Uncle!”

    “Hmm? iced coffee. You came. Thank you for your hard work.”

    Yuwol, who was welcoming the guests, smiled as usual. When Sayun saw that smile, she felt a part of her heart warming up.

    I’m back.

    I feel like I’m home.

    Even though this is not Hongseongmun.

    Just having him there makes me feel quite at ease.

    “I’m glad that no one seems to have been hurt. ruler. Let’s go up.”

    Sayoon, who went up with Chaejin under Yuwol’s guidance, felt the faint scent of plum blossoms, the scent of tobacco, and the scent of adults mixed together.

    She sat down, relieved by the scent that somehow made her feel at ease, and looked at Yuwol, who was talking with her apprentice and Namgungcheon.

    “Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything else special?”

    “Ah. Hey.”

    “Hmm?”

    Sayoon gently raised her hand and showed the mirror she had gotten from the sergeant.

    After receiving it, Yuwol tilted her head.

    “This is… a wonder of space.”

    “Space landscape?”

    “Hmm. If you are lucky when you get the slope, you can get it.”

    “Then if you have it, can you move through the mirror like a slope?”

    “That’s not true. It is said that if you practice with a space mirror, you can use a technique called space charm.

    “Space Cham. Something like this?”

    The apprentice lightly pulled out his sword and swung it, and his attack caused one of the decorations hanging on the wall to snap off.

    “It’s something similar to an empty island. It’s good to use for a surprise attack, but its power isn’t that great…”

    “Wow… isn’t that good enough?”

    “It’s weak for something a superhuman would use.”

    The apprentice spoke casually and Nangong Cheon also nodded in agreement.

    Yuwol placed the space mirror on Sayun’s hand.

    “Anyway, it’s a valuable item. It has excellent decorative value, so keep it.”

    “Uh. I’ll give it to you, uncle.”

    “Haha. Wouldn’t it be better for you to have the mirror rather than for me? You can use a space charm as a space mirror, but other than that, it is a mirror of high value. You can use it later when you put on makeup, so you can use it.”

    “Hehe. Yes.”

    Sayoon nodded and placed the space mirror in her arms.

    “Now. Well then, thank you for your hard work, eat as much as you want today. I’ll take care of the rest.”

    “Oh. Then I guess I should take a bath first.”

    Namgung-cheon left, the doje headed to the guesthouse to have a drink, and Chae-ryeon headed to the branch to take care of the remaining work.

    All that remains is Sayoon.

    Yuwol smiled and asked Sayoon, who was sitting down and looking at him.

    “What do you have to say?”

    “Um… no. I just want to stay here a little longer and then go. Uh… is it not possible? If it’s a nuisance…”

    I want to enjoy the warmth of home a little more.

    When Sayun smiled awkwardly and asked, he shrugged his shoulders.

    “You can have as many as you want.”
