Seonghyeon spent all of her time in Sammy’s lab before meeting with the headmaster.
They ate, slept, and rested here and figured out all the paths Sammy was going to.
As if Sammy was not very conscious of Seonghyeon’s existence, he was wandering around the laboratory, bringing information to Seonghyeon.
Rather than Sammy being careless, there was no other way because Seonghyeon’s abilities far surpassed the walls made of this special material.
“…Sammy. Have you been living here with the pilgrims all this time?”
“How are you? And they gave us our mobile equipment.”
“Ha…really…you can’t take away what you’ve already paid. Haven’t the chief’s words come out yet?”
“it’s okay. Isn’t a pilgrim not supposed to be treated like this?”
Envy looked like she had more to say, but since further arguing was meaningless, she sighed and turned her back.
“Then, pilgrims?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go. You are waiting.”
“You mean right now?”
“Yes. right now.”
Seong-hyeon was showing a slightly surprised expression, but in fact, this was also a little later than Seong-hyun’s expectation.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but if it had been a normal reaction, I would have taken the pilgrim to the table right away.
“All right.”
I was about to go out on the road right away, but Envy called out Seonghyeon like that.
“You have to go with this.”
Another piece of equipment from Envy’s arms.
At first glance, it looked no different from other equipment, but at a glance, it looked like it had been used quite a bit.
“Is that a dedicated piece of equipment going to the headmaster?”
“That’s right. me and sammy It’s a piece of equipment that only the two of us have.”
“It seems that the level of equipment we have is far superior.”
“Isn’t that going to prove that ordinary people are not worth surviving? There is no equipment that can be said to be similar to or even better than ours, except DeMargue’s equipment.”
A hunter with skills related to equipment production sometimes produced equipment, but the hunter was not in charge of all the process of equipment production.
Common people with skills and knowledge were also there, and Envy was now arguing that they weren’t worth being there.
“If there is a lot of production, that might be the case.”
Contrary to Envy’s expectations, the pilgrim responded very calmly.
Because the fact that we decided to be together did not mean that we had completely shared our thoughts.
Envy was so wary of pilgrims, and that hasn’t changed much now.
However, this pilgrim’s answer was completely beyond Envy’s expectations.
Envy’s answer itself was to say that for this reason ordinary people are not worth living.
They did not show any reaction to Envy’s words, but rather a reaction as if it was a pity that the production was low.
It was definitely one of them that he was reacting like that even though he knew that he had completely blown away the place he was based on and manipulated the steps behind it.
They were either in the same category in their thoughts and beliefs, or they were looking for opportunities.
“…Yes. Production is disappointing.”
And, of course, Envy was thinking of the latter.
However, the result of the meeting between the pilgrim and the chief did not change, so Envy took the equipment without saying a word.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Is Sunghyun different from Envy?
Seonghyeon, who could clearly see what was going on in Envy’s head right now, put his hand on the equipment as well with only a faint smile under the hood.
It’s the same feeling as when you first come to Sammy’s lab.
And at the same time, the whole scene unfolding before my eyes changed.
Unlike back then, this time it really feels like a place where people live.
There was a soft light attached to the wall, and I could feel crystals embedded in all the cracks in the wall.
“Follow me.”
Following Envy’s guidance, I walked deeper and deeper, and a large door reminiscent of the Middle Ages was waiting for Seonghyeon and Envy.
“Is there anything I need to pay attention to?”
“Yes. He’s not that rigid.”
Envy, who showed a light smile as if reassured, knocked on the door and shouted in a slightly louder voice.
“came.”
“come in.”
The chief’s voice came from beyond the door.
Before and after the return, not only Seong-hyeon, but probably everyone else would have heard the chief’s voice for the first time.
Except for Kabulsky.
The door slowly began to open, and after that, the figure of a person called the chief began to appear.
To be precise, it is the back view of sitting in an ordinary chair.
“Are you a pilgrim?”
“Yes. I am a pilgrim.”
“Come on.”
An overly calm voice was heard, and then the head slowly turned his head.

Maybe it was Sammy’s case, and he seemed to be instinctively thinking about how to react if he knew a face.
Fortunately, the face of the headmaster is a completely new face.
Seonghyeon sighed in relief because it was a face she had never seen before and after the return.
“I showed my face too, but you don’t want to show your face, do you?”
“Yes. There is not.”
At the reply that came out without hesitation, the headman looked quite surprised.
The attitude that Seong-hyeon and the pilgrim showed now was not the remark of a person who thought that the chief was above him.
It was an attitude that only treated me with respect, and looked at me in the same position as myself.
“It’s like he has a great secret on his face. Am I right?”
“It doesn’t matter what you think, but it doesn’t change that you don’t show your face.”
The chief nodded in front of him as if he had no choice but to say.
“Then there is nothing you can do. Would you like to sit down?”
Soon, Seong-hyeon also took a seat where the chief was pointing, and the chief looked at Seong-hyun without saying a word.
“First, I am Carl Lowden. You can call me Carl.”
“All right. knife.”
He opened his mouth first, so he wanted to say something else, but the chief remained silent after that.
They just stare intently, as if to check the face of the pilgrim covered by the hood.
“Strange.”
“…?”
The first words that came out after looking at Sunghyun for a long time.
One strange word.
Seonghyeon looked at the knife with a puzzled expression without answering, and the knife looked at Seonghyeon with an expression that seemed to show the inside of the hood.
“Do you know about my abilities?”
“I do not know.”
Carl got up slowly and took a book that was lying next to him.
“…Are you going to show me that?”
Envy, who was watching this, intervened, but Carl only stared at Envy for a moment, but didn’t answer.
Instead of answering that, I just put the book in my hand in front of Seong-hyeon.
“Can you see?”
The clear eyes of Carl were as if he knew what kind of choice Seong-hyeon would make.
Seong-hyeon, who stared at those deep eyes for a moment, reached out to check the book in front of him.
“if not…”
At the same time, Carl’s hand grabbed Seong-hyeon’s hand.
It was a hand that had no rough feeling at all, as if he had never faced a beast.
“Can you hear me?”
seeing and hearing.
The two options didn’t seem very different, but there was a huge difference.
Now Carl was testing Seonghyeon.
The most different thing between these two options is to check the records that Carl has already left.
To hear is to confirm what Carl is thinking now.
I don’t know what was written in that book, but if something was written, I could get a glimpse of Carl’s thoughts at that time, and at the same time, I could confirm that it was objective compared to what I heard.
But if you choose to listen, it is certain that the content will change according to Carl’s thoughts and goals.
Carl was deliberately offering these two options to Seong-hyeon and trying to figure out Seong-hyeon’s intentions.
Did he come here to understand Carl himself, or did he come here to show Seong-hyun’s own abilities and to be treated appropriately?
“I…”
Sunghyun hesitated for a moment to answer.
There is only one primary reason to come here.
Just to figure out their home base and end it all.
He could have taken action right away from the position he had already faced with the sword, but Sunghyun did not.
There was one question left.
How did you move through those long years without leaving any traces?
It would have been an unbearable pursuit with the ability to simply hide something.
Then there was only one answer.
Hearing directly with the sword’s mouth.
At least they seemed to have to check what more they had.
“I will listen.”
Perhaps he liked Seong-hyeon’s answer, Karl smiled faintly and placed the book in front of him next to him.
“My ability is simply the ability to see the future.”
“The ability to see the future…”
“However, it is not the present me who sees what will happen in the future, but the future me who informs the past me of the results.”
“It’s a pretty complex ability.”
I was wondering if there was a difference between the two, but there was a very big difference.
Just like the choice Sung-hyun received.
It would be a huge difference from simply seeing the results of what you experienced in the future.
Because he will know everything about the things he felt at that time, and what was wrong if the result was wrong.
“Did you know that I’m seeing you now?”
“no. Unfortunately, there are those who cannot be seen. Originally there was one, but this time there was one more.”
Looking at Carl’s gaze and reaction, it seemed that he was the target of the increase.
And Seonghyeon must be the variable that Kabulsky told him.
“Who is the other one?”
“Kim Seong-hyun.”
“It is him.”
“okay. The one and only… no, the invisible ones who have now become two with the appearance of the pilgrims.”
Perhaps it was quite frustrating to be unable to see, so Carl drank the water next to him.
The knife, soaked in water so harshly that it ran down the corner of his mouth, set the glass down on the table aloud and stared at Seonghyeon, or no, the pilgrim.
“Since he is an invisible person, we did a lot of research on our own.”
Carl immediately turned to Envy and beckoned, and Envy nodded slightly and left the room.
“I have something to show you.”
The two didn’t talk to each other until Envy came back to the room.
However, they did not take their eyes off each other.
Soon Envy entered the room, and in her hand were two bottles of liquid.
Since Seong-hyeon made it, there was no way that Seong-hyun did not know.
The liquid in those two bottles was Elixir.
“Do you know what that is?”
“That’s…”
“You probably don’t know.”
Carl took the two bottles from Envy and put them on the table.
“Because you made it yourself. Isn’t it? Kim Seong-hyun?”
Carl’s expression wasn’t that of a floating one.
It was an expression that anyone who was already sure could see.
