Episode 464
“Wow... Are you saying this is the sea?”
Jang Sam-tae couldn’t erase his excited expression.
This is the sea I see for the first time in my life.
The thrill I felt the first time I saw it was something I will probably never forget until I die.
The water forms a wide horizon and waves crash.
The crashing sound stimulates your ears, and you feel overwhelmed just by looking at it.
I felt like my mind was becoming more open, and I was also filled with unknown fears.
How scary would it be to be floating alone in the middle of nowhere?
Emotions that he had never felt before while looking at nature arose and stimulated him.
“It’s noisy.”
Dan Woo-hyeon frowned when he saw Jang Sam-tae like that.
As I speak loudly, people passing by look at me.
I didn’t like the way he was laughing because it felt like he was looking at a hillbilly.
However, Jang Sam-tae, who could not calm his excitement easily, just ran ahead like an excited child.
“Joe... can’t you come a little closer
?!”
“You can see enough from here.”
“No, still. “Wouldn’t it be better to see something like this up close?”
Jang Sam-tae sniffed and smelled the sea.
What was so fun and exciting about it was that his bright expression hardly calmed down.
Before I knew it, he came and walked towards the sea as if leading Danwoohyeon.
“Actually, I thought I might have followed along wrongly, but after seeing this, those feelings disappeared. I wonder if I was alive to see this. ha ha ha!”
He raised his voice loudly and started walking a little faster.
That’s why the sea captured Jang Sam-tae’s heart.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon, on the other hand, was unwilling.
This is because people are looking at you, but they are not there to look at the sea.
However, when I saw Jang Sam-tae smiling happily, I couldn’t bear to scold him, so I just walked toward the beach with a small sigh.
Jang Sam-tae ran around enjoying the sea seen right in front of him.
I didn’t even care about the looks of people around me.
“Jusan Island...”
But on the contrary, Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze was focused on a certain place.
It was a long way out to sea.
You can’t see the island because of the thick fog, but that place is called the Jusan Archipelago.
Perhaps this is a place where traces of Emperor Cheonmu can be found, and it is the place where Emperor Cheonmu raised numerous subordinates, including Bicheonwoong.
“It’s far...”
How great would it be if you could run away in an instant?
However, it is not easy because the distance is farther than expected.
It seemed difficult to enter the Jusan Islands unless by boat.
With that thought in mind, Dan Woo-hyeon turned his gaze and looked at Jang Sam-tae.
“Stop looking around and find a place to stay. “There is a lot of work to be done.”
“Okay! Hehehe.”
Jang Sam-tae nodded without looking offended at Dan Woo-hyeon’s blunt tone.
His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, perhaps trying to find a place with a view of the sea as much as possible.
“That would be a good place to stay! You can see the sea and it looks like they might be selling something delicious. What is that?! “Since we’re at the sea, shouldn’t we try some food from the sea?”
“...Okay, do whatever you want.”
“Hehe, thank you!”
Jang Sam-tae began to hurriedly move towards the guest room.
The reason why his steps became faster than before was not only because he watched the sea until he was satisfied, but also because he was curious about what kind of food was coming from the sea.
Fish from the sea is not easy to store.
Since transportation itself was difficult without ice, food from this place could only be tasted here.
Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae made strange expressions in this inexplicable situation.
“I... I’m really sorry to tell you this, but... I think it would be best for you to give up going there.”
The guesthouse sighed as he carefully expressed his opinion.
After pausing for a moment to figure out what he was thinking or what he wanted to say, he soon approached Danwoo Hyeon and opened his mouth in a low voice.
“And wherever you go, don’t even mention that place. And then... big trouble happens.”
In a delicate situation, Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae, who entered the room after being guided by the guest, simply unpacked their luggage and sat down on the bed.
When I glanced outside, I could see some of the people inside the guesthouse going outside and whispering with their acquaintances.
He glanced towards the guest room, and it looked as if he was on guard or trembling with ominousness.
“Something is strange....”
“I know.”
Dan Woo-hyeon also had the same thought.
The moment the story about the Jusan Islands came out, the atmosphere that changed was still vivid in my mind.
Some people were surprised, some people were afraid, some people had fear and ominousness, and others’ gazes contained pity as if they were looking at a victim.
That was the guest’s gaze.
And the words he said also touched my heart.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was thinking about this and that, sighed.
“Anyway... it seems like something interesting is going on.”
“Is this going to be a big problem?”
“Well...”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who had been lost in thought for a moment, frowned. Since there was nothing to say, I tried to guess a few reasons why this happened.
Of course, it doesn’t take long for that thought to come close to an answer.
“The influence of the Jusan Archipelago is reaching here... or that none of the ships heading there have returned...”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was shaking his head, opened his mouth.
Considering the emotions of those I saw in front of me, I thought that perhaps this was the closest to the correct answer.
“Would you like to investigate?”
Jang Sam-tae’s eyes sparkled.
Seeing that he said he would do his own research first, it seemed clear that he had also grown to the next level.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.
“Do you want to go out like that?”
“No... well, it’s nothing in particular, but... aren’t you curious?”
Jang Sam-tae waved his hand with an annoyed expression.
He wanted to tour the village under the pretext of doing research. Perhaps because Dan Woohyun was quick to read his own thoughts, he gave an awkward smile.
“Yeah, there’s no harm in finding out. “We have to save the ship...”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded slightly.
You can’t get there without a boat.
No matter how great his power, Dan Woo-hyeon was also a human being, and in front of nature, he was nothing more than an infinitely small human being.
Humans cannot overcome the huge ocean.
“Then I’ll be back!” Jang Sam-tae raised his voice with an excited expression.
My eyes lit up as I thought that I had to go to that street first.
Before he knew it, he had even taken the money that Dan Woo-hyeon had given him and left the room with light steps.
“You’re a child.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Jang Sam-tae’s back and laughed awkwardly. The way she was running around excitedly made her look like she was the same age as Dan Somi.
Thinking of that, Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and stood up.
I looked out the window again.
The huge seascape stimulated his gaze.
“Are you there?”
I can’t tell if it exists or not.
However, in Dan Woo-hyeon’s heart, there was a wish that everything would end here.
I no longer had the desire to go into the labyrinth.
His eyes were calm and serene.
