Chapter 2102 – 2102. Map of Ascension
Hearing Park Dal’s words, he frowned. It seemed that the king of the mountains, who could be called the king of bandits, was up to something.
But he soon realized that it had nothing to do with me and opened his eyes. I had nothing to do with the mountain king. It doesn’t matter what the king of the mountains is up to.
“It looks like the mountain king is deliberately trying to cause confusion.”
Sung Ji-gon said. Unlike me, he seemed interested in this. Seong Ji-gon was a general, so he was sensitive to the rampaging bandits.
“It is as the Daehyeop said. I don’t know why, but the mountain king wants to use the bandits to create chaos. His Majesty the Emperor, the absolute supreme ruler of the Empire…”
“I won’t step out. You can’t just do something like this. Pakdal, don’t mention His Majesty the Emperor at all times. I am speaking for you.”
“Thanks for the advice. I forgot my identity for a moment…”
“Well, even if His Majesty doesn’t step in, those in the position to protect the city will have no choice but to be bothered by the bandits’ action. Moorim will be noisy for a while.”
I couldn’t help but agree with Sung Ji-gon’s words.
An empire has hundreds or thousands of cities. All of these cities are not managed by government forces, but by famous literati. Their gaze had no choice but to turn to the bandits in motion. Those who are astute will know that the King of the Mountains is trying to do something.
“Yujin. How about you? You are active in Moorim.”
“I’m not interested in bandit shit.”
Tried to roll his head once. To be precise, I recalled the contents of the original works. I came up with a few episodes of bandits, but the scale wasn’t this big. There is a reason I don’t know. And I wasn’t really interested.
“I wish I could leave for Samasega sooner than that.”
“Okay. Your woman is at stake, so I have to cooperate as much as possible. Last though. Bakdal. Do you know anything about the Mountain King? What do you think his purpose is?”
“… Currently, the seat of the four kings is empty. The Mountain King is known for being tough and ambitious. I don’t know the exact plan of the mountain king, but… I think he might be trying to take this opportunity to become a yeonju.”
It’s a pretty probable story. However, this is also a story that has nothing to do with Sung Ji-gon and me.
After we returned to the city, we left for Samasega.
•••
After driving for 15 days, we arrived at Jeongwoo City, where Samasega is located.
Jeongwoo-si was a city that was a bit far from the system. Still, it was quite large as a city belonging to the so-called institutional sphere. Seong Ji-gon, who entered the city, smiled awkwardly.
“I think I came too early. I sent a letter, but it arrived before that letter.”
“The full text is not important. I apologize for anything We’re not here to fight Samase.”
“That too.”
I headed to Samasega with Sung Ji-gon. The location of Samasega was located at the end of the city.
“Isn’t this city governed by the Samasega? Why are you on the edge of town? It’s usually in the center of town.”
“Well? Could it have some kind of magical meaning?”
Jigon Sung was right. The closer he got to Samasega, the stronger he felt a sense of incongruity. Should I say that something unknown keeps hitting my nerves? I didn’t want to stay here.
Looking around, there was only Seong Ji-gon and me on the road before I knew it.
“It seems to be some kind of magic that bites people. Sama Sega seems to have no intention of welcoming his guest.”
“It is closed. If possible, I would like to come out cooperatively.”
How did you get to the gate? There was no gatekeeper in front of the grand house. The only thing there is a signboard called Samaga and a gate with a red pattern.
It was the moment when I tried to open the gate by force. Before I could reach my hand, the gate opened by itself with a bang.
“… Was it an automatic door? It’s unexpected.”
“If the door is open, that means it welcomes us, right? That’s not a bad sign.”
Walk forward When I see things being solved so easily, I feel some reluctance. It feels like walking towards a trap.
‘Because in this world, if you move, you’ll get stabbed in the back of the head. I have to be careful not to get hit in the back of the head.’
Soon after, I spotted a neatly dressed middle-aged man.
“I was waiting for you two. Socheonma Seong Yu-jin, Hayang City Small Armed General Seong Ji-gon.”
“… You know us Seong Ji-gon said that the letter would not have arrived.”
“Yes. There are no letters that have arrived in the family recently.”
“How did you know we were coming?”
“The head of the household was once a priest in the imperial family. One of the essential conditions for being a priest in the imperial family is to read the heavenly flag.”
Did you know about our visit by reading the heavenly flag? It was questionable. Reading the heavenly gi was something even Mi-ryung could not do easily. Did you say you need other special talents? And even if he reads the heavenly gi, he said that he could not be sure of things related to the future because they were vague.
Sima Ling, the family head of the Samase family, may be a magician with tremendous talent, but… , She may have predicted the visit of me and Sung Ji-gon in a different way.
‘First of all, it must be that he has some ability. That’s a good sign.’
The guide stopped walking and stopped little by little. Every time that happened, the direction we were moving slightly changed. Feeling frustrated, I spoke to him.
“What are you doing?”
“Ah, there are dozens of camps installed near the main house of the family. If you walk carelessly, you will get lost. Originally, there was no such method, but… It seems like the family head is experimenting with something recently… For safety, we have inevitably installed a camp.”
It took 20 minutes to break through the camp and reach the main building.
The main dish was also strange. The building itself was distorted and curved. Should I say that the building is mixed with energy?
“… No. It’s tangled up.”
“As expected, you are an absolute master who has risen to the Three Kingdoms. You got it right. The main building is tangled with all kinds of energy and spells. It is the influence of all the successive heads of the Sima Family who trained and studied here. Exactly what kind of powers this main building possesses, we have not been able to figure out at all. Maybe it was created accidentally… Isn’t that great? When other wizards other than the family came to the main building, they always widened their eyes in amazement. It was quite interesting to see that reaction, but recently…”
The man suddenly became more talkative. Seong Ji-gon and I followed him into the main building with a tired expression. He thought he would guide you to the end, but at some point he stopped walking.
“This is all I was allowed to do. You can just go inside.”
“You did a good job guiding us this far.”
I praised him and moved forward.
And at some point We entered the room and faced a woman.
She was a calm woman. Everything from the strand of her hair to the crease of her clothes is neatly organized. Her white jade-like skin, graceful crescent-like eyebrows, and tight red lips made her feel elegant.
Her figure was difficult to ascertain. Because she was wearing a baggy dress. All I can see is her face.
“Are you the head of the Samase family?”
“Yes. I am the family head of the Samase family, the Four Demon Spirits. I was waiting for you two.”
“How did you know we were coming?”
“I read the heavenly message. Before that, your information was recognized. The Socheonma of the Heavenly Demon Church, the disciple of Seonja Guwol… They were unusual identities, so I couldn’t not know.”
“The Samasega’s intelligence is so amazing.”
“I can’t explain in detail, but Samasega’s eyes and ears exist all over the continent.”
“… Then, do you know the purpose of our visit to the head of the household?”
“I do not know. The only thing I’ve read through the heavens is that two people come to me and help me. Heaven didn’t allow me to do more than that.”
Do we help
Are you saying this back? If you don’t help yourself, you won’t help us.
Not angry or annoyed at all. Because I had predicted that he would not help without any conditions.
I stared at her Her aura was stronger than mine. In other words, the realm of the four demons is higher than the middle of the three peaks.
The Four Demons invited us to take a seat. She then served her tea with her tricks. I said after drinking tea.
“My woman is in a coma. She tried to rise to the level of harmony beyond the three peaks, but she failed. My master said she was trapped in the image world. She says that one year from now is her limit as Jira is unable to control her aura and continues to spill it. How can I save her from her?”
“… Fortunately, it’s a symptom I’m aware of. Many family heads of the Samase family wanted to go higher. More than 70% of them failed. Some of them had the same symptoms as the woman you mentioned.”
“Do you know her way to save her?!”
“I know. Perhaps He shifted the mind to imagery to protect it. However, the image must have been altered by the influence of the failure. That’s why you get stuck in your imagery and can’t come out. Because the altered image cannot be said to be one’s own anymore. All you have to do is step into his image and bring him out. He will arrange the images later.”
“How can I enter someone else’s image? Do you have any tips?”
“Those who don’t know much about magic consider magic to be omnipotent. They are mistaken that everything is possible with magic. However, magic is not omnipotent. As far as I know, there is no magic method to enter another person’s image.”
“…”
I shut my mouth and listened to the four demons. He had an intuition that the words of the Four Demon Spirits were not over.
“However, the story is different if it is a power other than magic. In Samasega, there is a treasure that can be used as a talisman. You can enter into the image of another person if you use Zen art. It is a proven fact.”
There was a way. I asked her, feeling her tension ease slightly.
“… Is there a difference between tactic and trance?”
“Shamanism is a higher level power. You can do things that cannot be done with trance.”
“What should I do? I hope it doesn’t take too long.”
Sima Ling asked me with her expressionless face.
“Do you know the legend of Mt. Domyeong?”
