Chapter 1172 – 1172. Hero Military Academy (7)
I sent Yeonho to the afterlife for a while and headed straight for my destination.
The place I arrived at was…
‘This place is shabby.’
It was the residence of one of the archbishops belonging to the religious order.
The size of the mansion was so large that it could not be compared to an ordinary family home, but the security itself was so lax that it could be described as poor compared to religious facilities.
And as I entered that shabby mansion, I heard the whisper of a woman following me.
“Wait a minute, stop.”
The owner of the voice is Moon Joo-ah.
After Moon Joo-a stopped me, she put something on the wall.
She said, “Okay. Let’s go.”
The material that Munjua attached to her wall was clay the size of a grain of sand.
It was so small that you had to squint to barely recognize it, and even the color matched the wall, so you were already confused about its location.
If Moon Ju-ah hadn’t shown the scene of her putting it on, she wouldn’t have even known it existed.
I followed Moon Ju-ah and asked.
“What is that?”
“Adhesive smoke screen. If they get caught, they set it up to explode all at once, create a mess, and then escape.”
“Oh…”
Because it is so small, when it explodes, it doesn’t create enough smoke to cover the inside of the building, but Moon Joo-ah explained that it was better than nothing and kept adding it.
“Can I get it back later?”
Moon Ju-ah responded by applying another sticky smokescreen.
“There is no need to retrieve it. When exposed to sunlight, it immediately hardens and loses its smokescreen function.”
“Oh… “Where did that come from?”
When I asked with admiration, Moon Joo-ah once again smiled like a puppy and answered.
“There was someone in my old organization who was researching this area. That’s when she learned the recipe.”
“That’s kind of you. You let me know these things easily…” .”
A person who lives in the dark would not reveal these skills without permission, even if only to increase his own value and preserve her life.
Nevertheless, he informed Moon Ju-ah.
Even in the shadows, she exchanged her feelings with Munju-ah to some extent…
“Yeah, that’s right. Chi, he was a kind guy. I don’t know what I’m doing now…”
“…”
… It was a moment when she realized once again that there was no self.
‘… Let’s not ask.’
[…]
It seemed like she knew how she learned the recipe and what she did with that guy without even asking.
When I shook her head in disgust, Munjua started to lead again with a puzzled look on her face.
And it wasn’t long before she…
“Khuuuuu…”
“You sleep very well.”
She was able to peacefully enter the sleeping archbishop’s room.
Currently, the patriarch of the church is Shin Seok-kwon, and four archbishops are occupying positions under him.
And now the place I have invaded is the mansion of one of the archbishops.
The archbishop who sneaked in last time had a handsome figure, but in the room he broke into this time, there was a skinny archbishop lying down.
Moon Ju-ah asked me as she looked at the archbishop who was sleeping peacefully while snoring.
“Exploring a dream like last time?”
She already knew that I had the ability to dream.
I nodded and sat down, leaning against the wall.
“Yes, it will be over soon, just wait. If there’s a problem, wake me up right away.”
“Nyun~ I’ll do as you say~”
I smiled at the sight of Moon Joo-ah playing around and entered the archbishop’s dream.
.
.
As soon as I came out of the dream, the scene I saw was…
“… What are you doing?”
Moonju was sticking her finger inside my cloak and poking my face.
Fortunately, she didn’t lift my cloak.
Just…
“Oh, I was experimenting to see how much stimulation I had to give to make it happen.”
She was playing a prank on me like a girl who likes to play.
Seeing Moon Joo-ah like that, I smiled faintly and got up from her seat.
“Come on, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
After leaving Archbishop Moon Ju-ah’s room, she was able to leave her mansion without any trouble.
After she left the mansion, she headed to the next target’s mansion.
So, while she was heading to her next destination, Moon Ju-ah took advantage of the silence and started asking me questions.
“If you look into that dream, to what extent can you see the memories?”
“As long as it is not at the level of completely disappeared memories or memory loss, you can probably look into it.”
“Oh… “That’s amazing.”
After hearing what I said, Moon Joo-ah continued to ask questions with a calm expression.
“Hey, don’t you know that with that ability, you can even get into the heads of the patriarch and the head of the tower? On top of that, Super Kanghyeon goes even further… Even in the head of the monster!?”
“It’s not possible for everyone.”
I roughly explained the impossible situation.
“You can’t have high magical power or high mental power. Rather, I might be the one to suffer.”
“Aha… “It is an incredible ability, but the side effects when it fails are serious.”
I didn’t particularly deny what Joo-ah Moon said, but in fact, the benefits were much more important than the side effects… No, the overwhelming majority of abilities were Chimmong.
So far, there have been only a handful of cases where she has failed, and compared to that, there have been countless successful cases.
But…
“The leader of the tower, Cho Kang-hyeon, and the monster leader will not work.”
Those three couldn’t deny the fact that it was impossible.
After hearing what I said, Moon Joo-ah started giggling.
“It seems like you can become the patriarch?”
“I’m not sure because I haven’t met in person yet. I think it might work, but…”
“Ohh… The story is… “So you’ve met the other three?”
“…”
I felt like I was caught up in something.
The fact that I had met Yeriel and Cho Kang-hyeon was not particularly problematic.
But the monster leader is different.
I have never met a monster before.
But in the end, he came here on a mission from Zodiac related to the monster leader.
In other words, it was a story that was no different from a monster follower.
Even if it was a world where monster followers existed, it did not mean that one could freely reveal one’s identity as a monster follower.
The moment it was revealed that I was a monster follower, not only the church, but the tower and the three major guilds, no… The state will launch an all-out war to catch me.
‘Should I just briefly explain it?’
The moment I was wondering whether to tell you my identity or not…
“Well, you don’t have to say it if you don’t want to. But keep that in mind.”
“… ?”
Moon Joo-ah smiled as she stared at my face covered by the cloak.
“It doesn’t matter who you are anymore. I just need you.”
“…”
“It doesn’t mean I just like it. It’s a story about you being the meaning of life. I have no intention of enjoying anything or enjoying anything without you. Just…”
Moon Ju-ah, who had been staring into my cloak for a while, turned her head and finished her sentence.
“I’m saying that just walking around with you is enough.”
After Munjua finished her sentence, she lifted her shoulders and quickly began to move ahead.
I chuckled looking at Moon Ju-ah like that.
‘I guess I was really embarrassed.’
Seeing her running like that, Moon Ju-ah must have been quite embarrassed by what she just said.
‘I should compensate you properly after the mission is over.’
I followed Moon Joo-ah, looking at her back covered in embarrassment.
.
.
Originally, the archbishops almost lived within the church rather than at home.
However, due to an incident I recently committed, all the archbishops came to my home to resolve issues outside the church.
Thanks to that, I was able to see into the dreams of a total of four archbishops.
I, who turned the dreams of the archbishops upside down…
“… “I guess I’ll have to buy it for a while.”
I realized what a troublesome situation I was in.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Moon Ju-ah, who heard my grumbling voice, smiled and asked me.
“How is it? “They come out pretty strong too, right?”
“Uh. “They’re setting up a bunch of traps to catch me?”
Recognizing that I was openly interfering with them, the church was making a detailed plan to catch me.
“It looks like we’re going to make some big things happen this time. And that whole incident… They’re blowing it up just to catch me…”
“Really? Hey… This is the first time a denomination moves like that…”
“…”
When I heard the compliment, I burst out laughing without even realizing it.
‘It feels like a world away. In the past, I didn’t have the strength to be treated like this.’
It is true that it has been recognized regardless of the fact that it is a nuisance.
However, I have no intention of just watching this situation in vain.
“As I said before, you should take care of yourself for the time being. Just worry about erasing traces as much as possible.”
“Hwang Min-seo?”
“I’ll take care of him.”
For your information, I didn’t mean to kill you.
She is a woman who is married to Oh Hyun-min, a hero, and a hero who is quite famous in the tower.
Killing a woman like that would be the worst move for me to get caught.
‘It’s a waste…’
[…]
I left the archbishop’s mansion with Moon Ju-ah, remembering Hwang Min-seo’s body.
And I recalled the scene I had seen in the archbishops’ dreams.
‘I guess this is enough for a gift for now.’
No, on the contrary, it was so excessive that I wondered if the recipient would be surprised.
I returned home with Moon Ju-ah with such a rich gift in my head.
***
A quiet hallway bathed in sunlight.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
A girl ran and moved through that hallway like an idiot.
And, looking at the child like that, the old man calls out to the child with a kind smile and a voice full of concern.
“Then he will fall.”
“Ah… “I’m sorry for making you noisy.”
On the outside, it seemed like her kind grandfather was worried about his granddaughter, who was running around like an idiot.
However, the conversation between the two is slightly similar to that relationship…
“It’s noisy. I’m just worried. Then I will get hurt. Take it easy.”
No, the texture seemed to be very different.
An old man being polite to a child who is about the age of his granddaughter.
And she is a girl who receives the old man’s courtesy and thanks her as if it is nothing special.
“Thank you for your concern.”
Rather, the girl was treating the old man like he was her elder.
However, despite her treatment, the old man smiled and spoke to her.
“Where are you going in such a hurry? Yeriel.”
The girl’s identity is Yeriel, the head of the tower.
And the identity of the old man who captured her was Joo Hyeon-guk, one of the Hyeonseongs (high-ranking officials assisting the head of the tower).
Yeriel smiled bitterly at Joo Hyeon-guk and answered.
“I’m going to the Heroes National Cemetery.”
As the name suggests, Heroes National Cemetery was a place to bury dead heroes.
Of course, not all heroes could receive the privilege of being buried in the Heroes National Cemetery.
It was a place where only heroes equivalent to mid-level heroes or those who had devoted themselves to the country could be buried.
And for Yeriel, who has lived a long life, visiting the National Heroes Cemetery was not particularly strange.
However, Yeri El was currently working without sleeping properly to prepare for the chaos that would soon occur.
And the wise men were well aware of Yeriel’s hard work.
She couldn’t help but be surprised when Yeriel, who was so busy working, suddenly said she was going to the Heroes National Cemetery.
“What suddenly happened to Heroes’ National Cemetery?”
“I have someone to meet.”
“Hmm… Okay. Oops, I caught a busy guy. Let’s go.”
“Okay, then, that’s enough…” .”
Yeri El gave a greeting that was unbecoming of her young appearance and started running down her hallway again like a little girl.
Yeriel, who had been running non-stop inside the huge tower, was barely able to reach the underground parking lot after a while.
But as soon as she arrived at the underground parking lot, she felt something different from usual.
‘… There is someone.’
Her sense of Yeri El was warning her that her situation was not simple.
Yeriel, the leader of the tower of the world.
There weren’t many people who would harm Yeri El in her tower, not anywhere else.
And the group that comes to mind right now is…
‘… ‘Denomination.’
It was a denomination.
It is said that she carries out her work undetected, but considering the influence of the church, it was not a big surprise if she was discovered.
‘And… He’s not an ordinary guy.’
After Yeri El realized that the being approaching her was not an ordinary person of skill, she sincerely raised her mana…
“He’s quite fearless! Doing nonsense here… !”
She fired a gravitational wave at the approaching opponent.
But Yeriel’s gravitational waves…
Paaaaat!
“!?”
The image of her flying with her life shattered to an embarrassing degree.
Amidst the gravitational waves of Yeriel scattered like a haze…
“It’s been a while since I came here, and they immediately try to kill me.”
“Ah…”
The man wearing the cape gradually revealed himself, drawing a clearer picture.
