MEMORIZE

7 days ago.

The forest in the middle of the night was quiet and dark. A pitch-black darkness that seems to devour everything. The moon in the sky was sprinkling brilliant light, but dense trees and thick bushes of dark blue light blocked the light that shone on the forest.

Crunch, rustle.

At that time, the sound of dry leaves and stepping on the sword broke the stillness of the forest. The source of the sound was a hill somewhere in the forest. And surprisingly, there was a man carefully climbing the hill.

The movement that was carefully climbing the hill stopped for a moment. Then the sound died down in an instant. The man looked around for about 10 seconds before creeping back up the hill.

There was a strange tension in the man's son-in-law. The sound of bugs, birds, and other cries that might have been heard from nowhere sometimes flowed into his ears. And by the time the chilly wind had passed the hill, the man was finally able to reach the top of the hill.

a forest with a pitch-black tent It was too dark to tell an inch ahead, but the man's movements were moving like a clear view. Soon he settled in the middle of the hill and opened his eyes wide and began to look around.

And as soon as the eyes of a man seemed to be young, he fixed his eyes on one side at lightning speed. Soon after, the impression of looking far away for a while as if he was observing something was frowned upon.

There was a faint light rising where the man looked. Around the lights were unfamiliar sights that did not match the still forest. Three women were hanging naked on a branch above a long tree. And as much as twice as a crowd were giggling around the tree.

The man watching it, soon muttered in a pathetic voice.

"Insane people, you can't tell the time from the place."

"You understand~ It's already been seven days since we've been waiting here. You should be generous with that kind of fun."

"You're the one I felt earlier.”

"Hehe. Did you get caught?"

It was a sudden voice, but the man calmly replied and turned his head. Where he looked, a woman in tight tight tights stood. The woman shrugged her shoulders and pouted her lips as she looked at when the man came.

The woman, who approached the man without saying a word, soon sat on the floor and opened her mouth.

"What's the next travel time?"

"Two days from now. I'm going to leave the unexplored area.

"So on the second day, we're going into the pitch-black forest?”

"Not long ago, I got a call from the main university. It is said that we are finally in the swamp of death."

The man nodded and shook his head. The woman looked lost in thought and muttered, "Well, then time would be right." The woman, who had been keeping an eye on the man for a while, soon continued, lying on the ground.

"But you know, they're pretty fast, aren't they? Hasn't it been a little over two months since we left the West Continent? But if it's already the swamp of death....”

"The aisles of the North and West continents have already been pioneered. But you'll have to be careful when you get out of the swamp of death. It's more likely to catch your eyes."

"That's why we're here.”

"It's only a few days' difference. Anyway, don't worry about the main university for a while. We just have to do our job well.”

The man answered bluntly if there was anything uncomfortable. At the end of the remark, quietness was heard for a while.

The men's eyes were still fixed on the sight of the crowd mocking women, and the women were lying in a large shape and looking up at the sky. The two remained silent for a long time. And the silence that followed was broken by the woman opening her mouth first.

"You know, Hyun. Will we be able to succeed??”

"It can be successful if the surprise is assumed to work properly."

"It's barely over 2,000 people. Even if it's a pioneering city....”

"Not everyone has gathered yet. Until the day of the execution, the number of people will continue to gather, and the number of people who respond from within will be 100 as well. Above all, each and every one of us is a warrior of reversal who has crossed the unexplored area. Even if there are twice, or three times, the city can win."

There was confidence in the man's voice. In response, the woman began to giggle even more, laughing, saying, "Yes, if the raid succeeds.

In time, the woman raised her waist and raised her body. He then whispered in his ear, winding his arms around the man's neck with elasticity.

"I can't wait for that day to come. The day I can avenge them."

"Just hang in there a little longer. Don't worry and trust me."

"Whoa, that's trustworthy. Yes, sir! Then I'll wait quietly according to the captain."

“…….”

The woman spoke in a humorous voice and ran down the hill laughing. The man looked at her indifferently and burst into laughter. Then he sighed for a long time and began to keep an eye on where he was looking.

As such, the night in the forest grew deeper.

"User Kim Soo-hyun?"

"Long time no see…"

As I entered the summoning room, I saw Seraph sitting on the altar as usual. It seems quite surprising that I've visited myself twice in a row to raise the ending sound oddly. In the past, it was almost once every three months, not once a month, so it was worth wondering.

Seraf quickly recovered his expression and spoke in a calm voice.

"You're here again?”

"Yes, I have a question. Then why are you so surprised?”

"I'm surprised you came even though I didn't call you separately."

"You didn't even page my recent visit.”

I sat in a seat where I could face Seraf, answering roughly. And I decided to go straight into business at the beginning of the year.

"Anyway, I have something to ask you about harmony."

"Yes, go ahead. I'll answer with all my heart."

"Well, how can I say it? Yeah, in a nutshell. For example, suppose there is one user who is cursed by reflection. Can we put the curse of the user to the power of the fire?"

"It's possible."

a ready answer without a moment's hesitation But I knew that much vaguely. What I wanted was a more detailed explanation. If you read my mind like that, Seraf immediately began to explain further.

"The curse of half-time is the curse of the late Rank, which is very effective. You can't fight with much horsepower, luck, or endurance. But it's not comparable to harmony. To put it simply, I also have a saying, "Gyeok." The comparison between the flowering and the half-cursing curses is sorry in itself."

"Okay, so the flower bed is not for combat, it's for treatment, right?

"That's not quite wrong. However, there is a limit to using a flower tablet for treatment."

“…….”

What Seraf said just now was exactly what I really wanted to know. Until now, there has been no vague use for other purposes except combat. Wouldn't it be necessary to be vigilant so that future use would be disrupted?

"Depending on how you use it, you can use it for combat or treatment. It's a bit vague, though. Suppose it's used for treatment, it's a simple purification. I mean, it doesn't mean complete healing. For example, if the user Kim Soo-hyun has treated the user mentioned earlier, the curse of reflection can be definitely burned away. But the aftereffects of the curse cannot be cured."

"…Really?"

"I'll give you another example. If a user is mentally contaminated, it can clean up the contamination. However, if a user suffers from a mental illness caused by pollution, it is not treatable."

"What, there are more restrictions than I thought. Didn't you think you could burn everything?”

Suddenly, I remembered when I used the power of passion to Margarita. I certainly instilled the will to burn bad memories then. Later in the reaction of the fairy queen, I thought it would be possible if I did well, but Seraph in front of me was denying it from the front.

So it was really a coincidence then?

As he bit his lips and was lost in thought, Seraf's calm tone flowed into his ears.

"The tinnitus of the flower is the burning chlorine forever. You can burn everything, but it's literally just a burn. The focus is on destructive activities, and treatment is only an additional factor. And please note that the current user Kim Soo-hyun's Hwajeong rating is only the S rank."

"In the end, you can save your life, but you can't guarantee what happens after that. Is this what you're talking about?

Then, the only answer to complete healing is Elixir. When he kicked his tongue out of his chest, Seraph tilted his head and opened his mouth.

"Elixir? Are you thinking of using Elixir, Kim Soo-hyun?”

"I'm thinking about it.”

"I don't know how precious the user I'm trying to get is to Kim Soo-hyun. But if you're not sure, I'd like to recommend that you put your thoughts on hold. There are many kinds of aftereffects. The symptoms may get worse, stay the same, or get better over time. Elexer, it's a heavenly potion like a single life. I don't know who the hell I'm going to use it for, but I think the use of nonsense is definitely something to avoid."

"Yeah, actually, I think so, too. Ha-ha, once you can save your life, you'll have time to relax. We'll need to watch what happens later."

As I nodded gently, a mysterious light appeared in Seraf's eyes.

Seraph's words were clearly clear. The most urgent thing right now is your life, so take care of yourself first. And, of course, I didn't mean to, but I meant not to waste Elixir by using it out of the blue.

Anyway, I was able to sort out my complicated mind by talking to Seraf. Now that I've got all the information I can get, I casually raised myself and spitted out a word.

"I heard you. Anyway, I'll be on my way. Thank you."

"Yes, yes?"

"Huh?"

"Oh, nothing. Don't mention it. Helping users is the role of a helper."

'What's wrong with you?’

Seraf's reaction was a little subtle, but he quickly turned away because he made up his mind.

"User Kim Soo-hyun."

“?”

And just as I was about to throw myself on the portal, a quiet voice flew from behind my back. I stopped walking reflexively.

"Well, can you come back next time…"?”

“…….”

I flew straight to the portal.

*

After meeting with Seraf, I left the temple. And after to run some errands to take a look at the squares and public bulletin board, I move to the Clan House.

The dawn had passed and a clear morning had arrived. Im Hanna had faithfully fulfilled my instructions. As I entered the main building and entered the small council room on the third floor, I could see Clan members sitting in ten seats. Of course, some of them had their heads stuck in the table with a disheveled face.

"Where have you been since early in the morning?”

"I had business in the temple, in the square."

After sitting at the top of the table, I watched Ahn Hyun shake Ahn Sol and Lee Yu-jung to wake them up, answering Ko Yeon-joo's question. At that moment, I suddenly thought of her and looked at her. Ko was staring at me in the same manner as always.

"…user high performance."

"Ho-ho. Yes, how's everything going?”

"It worked out well."

"I was worried, but I'm so much.”

The last words of Ko Yeon-ju contained meaning that only I could understand. Ko is smiling softly, whether she read what she is feeling right now. When I saw her smiling even though she was so badly committed last night, I felt a warmth in the corner of my heart. You don't have to tell me. I'm fine. It was as if you were talking like that. I was much relieved when I saw the reaction, but I still feel uncomfortable when I see the swollen eyes.

'I apologize, but let's do it later when we get a chance. Let's focus for now.'

I'm sure Ko Yeon-joo wants this attitude. I sighed briefly, grateful for her deep consideration. After looking around the Clan members like that, he opened his mouth in a powerful voice.

"Everyone's eyes are full of drowsiness. I told you not to wake me up, but I'm grateful that you gathered earlier than usual."

"Gyu-woo…."

"…The reason I've brought you together so early in the morning is because I have something urgent to tell you. I'll let you know once I'm done. Today, I and some Clan members will have to vacate the Clan House for two to three days."

"Eh! Why? What?"

Lee Yu-jung, who was half-asleep as if she was surprised to hear that she was leaving Clan House, quickly woke up and looked at me. Although she was the most responsive, Lee Yu-jung was not the only one. A little more detailed explanation is needed. So I calmly began explaining what happened last night.

There's a user in the Hamil Clan who's under the curse of Bansi, where he's asking for help in many ways. That I'm looking for help at Eastantell Row at their request. And finally, you can cure the curse of Bansi with the flowers, and you've checked the truth through the angel in charge this morning.

Of course I didn't explain it as it is.

'Eliccer... 'Let's put it away for now. Once you see the situation, if you really need it....’

It's not like your brother or Han So-young is in danger. You may feel a little upset, but if the aftereffects are improving, you will lose a bottle of waste. So, once the Elixir in his arms decided to return it to the warehouse, I was able to finish the explanation.

After hearing all the explanations, Clan members began to ask questions one by one. The first batter was Jung Ha-yeon by far.

"Clan Lord, but using that power....”

"You may know that I've recently improved my physical strength. When used for therapeutic purposes, the output is sufficient.

Jung Ha-yeon immediately voiced her concern, but she was able to shut up immediately. At that time, Ko, who had been listening so far, quietly raised his hand and asked for the right to speak. I nodded my head right away and allowed to speak.

"I understand roughly what you mean. Hamill Clan is looking for a way to save Clan One under the curse of Banshi. And Clan Lord has the power to treat it."

"That's right."

"Then I have a question. What does Clan Lord want from Hamill Clan by helping him with this? Is it a reward or an alliance? Of course, you know, the cost of life is quite precious."

"Of course there is a reason for that. It could be a superficial reason, if I had to say so. However, there is one more reason besides that. This is a very personal reason and I can't elaborate on it yet. But just to be clear, personal reasons will never affect my public judgment."

When I told her straightforwardly, Ko looked satisfied. I paused and took a breath. Ko Yeon-ju's words meant that since you are giving it to me for free, don't give it to me for free and take what I need to take care of it. And as long as I'm on Clan Road, I don't take that responsibility lightly. I was going to let the Clan know where and how to use the items, even if they were in my grasp.

"Anyway, the Hamill Clan is very famous in the eastern city. I don't know if you remember what I said the other day. Users gather to form a clan, and Clan gather to form a city. It's an opportunity for a mercenary to pay off his debt to the Hamill Clan for almost nothing. If I take a little trouble, I might be able to pave the way for a good relationship with the Hamil Clan in the future."

"As long as it doesn't strain the body of Clan Lord, I'll agree."

"As long as we've created the Clan, the relationships around us are important. Well, it takes a while to be a Clan in the eastern city, but I've asked for help from Eastantell Row, so it's gone. I agree."

"That's nice."

I have a point. Ko Yeon-joo and Jung Ha-yeon agreed with their bright faces. In fact, the two who have the second strongest influence in the Clan agreed, so it was safe to say that there were no opposition.

Soon after a while, everyone's eyes gathered on me except Ansol, who was still trying not to doze off. In the first place, he declared that he would take a few people, not just me. And the number of people to take has already been fixed.

"User High Performance."

"Yes."

"User Kim Han-byul."

"What?"

Ko replied with ease, and Kim Han-byul was surprised.

"There's a saying, take the iron out of the fire. We'll leave as soon as we're ready. So please get ready to leave right after this meeting. No matter how much it takes, it won't take more than three days, so you can prepare accordingly."

"Wouldn't a day be enough if we went to Hamil for a while?”

"The Hamil Clan is in the eastern general city of Princica. I'm not coming back from my business there, but I'm going to stop by Mule one more time."

"Is it Mule?"

The mysterious voice of a high performer. I gently shook my head and buried myself in a chair. When I looked at Kim Han-byul for a moment, I could see her still puzzled. And...

It's 1000 gold. I added a little more.’

"If you happen to recruit a jewel wizard, will you bring him in?"

I slowly opened my mouth, recalling the old man who was still a jeweler in Mule.

"There's one person I'd like to meet in Mule. I made a promise when I was working there. Oh, it's more of a request than a promise, but...Anyway, he's been very nice to me."

Of course, he was also considering making an offer to recruit him. As I saw Ko tilting her head as if she still didn't understand, I smiled softly. The old man was also a user of a rare class called the Jewel Emotion. It would have been of great help to Kim Han-byeol if he could recruit an old man.

Although the recruitment failed at the time, this time it will be different. Comparing the foundation of that time with the foundation of today, there was a huge difference.

"Well, then…."

"What? Mulyo-oh...?”

It was then. Ansol, who had been dozing off, raised his head as if he had been hit by cold water.
