Rebirth of The Heavenly Demon

Beyond the Door (2)

Lee said politely at the door.

“It's me. I'll go in with the Mage and make an anonymous deal." ”

He said exactly who went in. It meant respecting and being careful with the people inside.

When Lee opened the door, it opened gently. It's not locked this time.

“Let's go inside.”

He leaves without coming in as if he had done his duty.

Me and the witch went inside. I was nervous because I didn't know what was waiting for me.

The room was filled with the first things I had seen in my life. Before even looking at them one by one, a powerful smell pierced my nose.

Ordinary people may feel like a medicinal scent that can be smelled by the congressman, but I was able to pinpoint the identity of this scent.

It was the smell of two ingredients that I know best. There was a strange mixture of elixir and poison.

There were all kinds of things in this smell. The first thing that appeared was a large sphere. A sphere was connected with a dozen bamboo tubes, and at the end of the tubes were several more barrels.

The barrels were different colors, but it was likely that various elixirs or poisons were collected through the barrels into the center sphere. The box had boiling and cooling devices attached to it, as if they were not simply collecting drugs in one place.

The strange energy that I felt earlier was coming from that sphere. It's actually coming from the drugs that are in the sphere.

Along the side was a pile of all kinds of medicinal herbs, snakes, and boxes of poison and venom.

On the other side of the wall was a large piece of paper, filled with unrecognizable letters and numbers. It seemed to be calculating something, but it wasn't something I could tell.

There was a desk on the wall with a piece of paper on it, and it was piled around it like a pile of books.

Meanwhile, a woman sits with her back turned. She was reading a book, and when we walked in, she didn't even look back.

Of course, I first noticed her presence when I came into the room, but perhaps a normal person would not have noticed her presence.

This room was full of eye-catching things, and on the contrary, she was not moving like a doll. It would have felt like the background of this room, but it strangely suited the space.

The magician told her.

“Let's say hello to your face when someone comes. ”

She said without looking back.

“You're not a person, are you? ”

It was a clear yet resounding voice.

Having heard this many times, the magician did not feel bad at all.

“That's why I brought a man here. ”

“It must be the food in the herb. ”

The magician smiled lightly at me. I felt favored for her. Maybe she's a necessity for witches.

“Another failed test. ”

Suddenly, I felt empowered by the woman's voice.

“I know. ”

Then she gets up from her seat and turns toward this side.

The moment I saw her, I was surprised. It was much more beautiful than I expected. Moreover, I was wearing clothes that revealed my body, but I was very intuitive. Her breasts were large, her waist was thin and her legs were straight and long.

This contradiction made her look really attractive because she never seemed to look at books in a place like this.

There's another one.

She had no idea how old she was. At first glance, it looked like I was in my early twenties, and somewhat like I was in my thirties. If I was in my thirties, it was huge.

And crucially great master.

He was much better than a sorcerer, much better than a eunuch. Of course, it couldn't be compared to me, but it's been a long time since I've had this much Yeosu.

She looks at me and comes closer and smells it.

“Are you a new volunteer? The body odor is good.”

The magician smiled and said.

“No, my friend. ”

“Friend? You have that, too? ”

She glanced at the witch and told me.

“If you get close to someone like that, you'll die early. ”

I wasn't kidding, but I wasn't serious, so I was vague about what to say.

“I'm feeling desperate these days. ”

“But why do you travel with him? ”

“I'm trapped. ”

“Traps, scary. Especially his traps are very powerful. ”

To put it bluntly, the magician shows no reaction.

The woman stared at me quietly.

“But you, something's strange. ”

You felt something for me. Strange feeling is how I feel about her.

She looked at me and looked at the magician. She looked like, "This guy? I felt like asking."

The magician smiled and said.

“A friend who wants to set a trap. ”

It was the answer to the conversation before and at the same time the answer to her question.

At this moment I could feel it. The last time he said that it had something to do with this woman. He wants me to test them first.

I look at the magician pretending not to know anything. He was looking at me and building a nice smile. Subject bled to death on the day of the trial. I can't believe you're laughing at me like that.

She goes back to her seat, making sure she wasn't interested anymore. Then I started reading again.

Me and the witch looked around the room.

I asked him in front of the poison that was next to him.

“What the hell are you building here? ”

“Medicine.”

“Medicine?”

“A drug that makes you invincible. It'll save your life at the same time. ”

“Really? This place? ”

“Yes. A study is underway to remove the word 'complaint' and put the word 'invincible' on the spot. ”

In other words, he was researching to eliminate the side effects of the charter.

“You tricked me. Pretend you already have a solution. ”

“It would be even weirder if there was a solution to such a drug. But you can succeed in a year. ”

The magician looks at the woman and asks.

“Isn't that right? ”

Then the woman turned around and said,

“You come and interrupt, it could take another year or so. ”

The sorcerer smiled at me.

“Don't worry. You will succeed in a year. Now do you understand why I wanted to show you this place? ”

I nodded.

The magician said again.

“Trust me. ”

Then the woman suddenly said without looking back.

“Do you drink? ”

I couldn't figure out what you said to me, so I looked at the magician with a puzzled face.

You nod as if it were a witch.

Then I told her.

“Of course. I just don't drink alone. ”

She gets up from her seat and picks up the clothes next to her.

“That's great. Have a drink with me. ”

She said first, perhaps the sorcerer will follow.

“I'll just drink it alone. So don't even think about it. ”

* * *

After half watches, we were drinking at the tavern. The one who brought me here, blindfolded.

As she moves, she follows. He was still waiting in the wagon that was set up outside the tavern.

Now I see that Lee Ho's main mission is not to keep an eye on the Magician, but to protect her.

She says it's been a long drink, and if she drinks a sip of alcohol, she takes a pillow and eats it.

“Just drink, and I'll let you go. ”

“I don't think you should be stuck in a basement like that for your health. ”

“It's a job. You have to do it. ”

“Is there really nothing I can do? Why don't you just close your eyes and go somewhere? ”

“Run away? ”

I expected ‘good selling' or ‘irresponsible’, but she smiled brightly and said.

“That's all I can think about. ”

At this moment, her expression was so bright that she could see that it could never be done.

She was a strange woman once again. She had an intellectual feeling that didn't match that sensual look. She was as mysterious as the mysterious energy from the sphere.

One thing is for sure, this woman is in charge of underground testing. She was in an important position in this organization, just by the way that the magician's attitude or Lee Ho was catching up.

“What's your name? ”

“Are you in a position to ask for someone's name? ”

When I entered the room, I said it because Lee introduced me as an anonymous compromise.

“I'm frustrated that I don't have my name, but I'm frustrated that I don't even know the name of the person sitting across from me. ”

I didn't think it would give you an easy name, but suddenly she told me her name.

“Im Yeon-jung.

“Oh, that's a good name. Well, I'm glad we met. Let's toast. ”

She gives a cheerful toast and empties her cup in a heartbeat. She drank very well.

“What kind of research are you doing? ”

“It's a study for living. ”

But I didn't make a mistake when I was drunk. She's impeccable. He did not tell me a story that would speculate his identity. I didn't even tell him my age. Then I asked him a question.

“How did you get to know the Horseman? ”

“I stumbled upon it. ”

I told the story of finding the armor through the walls of the barn when I took the young girl and came all the way here.

“You used to be a pitcher. ”

“Co-op? It just happened. ”

Im Yeon-jung stared at me quietly. At this time, she was far from evil. However, you should never judge someone by their looks and feelings.

“Then how did you know the Horseman? ”

“It's a lot more trivial than you are. ”

She drank instead of answering. Like most of my questions, this is also a category of questions that I do not answer.

She laughed and mourned as she told the story. I couldn't control my emotions, but I could tell one thing.

She seems to have been very frustrated lately. He wanted to laugh and talk with someone like this. Seeing that she had chosen me for the first time, I could guess that her life was not so easy.

When I see a magician, I feel full. Whether it's evil or ambition, he's full of it. The same is true of Yiho.

But she was different. She feels a margin. Something like a margin of mind.

Only after emptying three bottles of alcohol did she wake up from her seat. It didn't take much time for us to get drunk like we were competing.

She leaves you with one last note, about to go out drinking.

“You have to be worse when you're making out with bad guys in Gangho. That way you can survive. ”

“I don't think the Mage is such a bad person. ”

She looked at me quietly, leaving a word behind.

“If you can't see people, just keep your ears open. ”

* * *

When Lim Yeong-jung returned to the general, the magician was waiting in front of her room.

“How did it go with you two? ”

“I couldn't see your face, so the liquor moved on. ”

“Glad I could be of help. ”

As she snorts and tries to get inside, the magician suddenly says.

“I'm going to give him a dose of the elixir I'm researching. ”

Immediately, her movements stopped. I felt a slight tingling in her eyes. It is because he knew better than anyone that if he took the unfinished surrender, he would die. I ran off with a force stronger than I used to, and I ended up with seven.

You will bleed to death on the ball.

“A clever man. If the cure had been developed in a few days, you wouldn't believe it. Just say it's medicine you should take as a first-line treatment. ”

“What if I don't like it? ”

“Then drink it. ”

Even if the sorcerer does not make mean threats, she is not in a position to refuse the sorcerer's request. Eventually, I sighed and asked.

“What's the date of your intake? ”

“Ten days later, the golden opening ceremony. ”

“You know, I need to get him in here and take care of things before he takes them. ”

“Haven't you been drinking to make it easier? I thought so. ”

The expression on her face frowned when she asked me to take care of it.

The sorcerer takes a step back without provoking her anymore.

“I'll help you. So proceed as planned. ”

When she has no answer, she asks like a witch.

“Did you like him? ”
