Episode 715: Where is the lake?
Moon Lake Village.
Although it was not flashy, it was a village that looked as peaceful as its name.
At least until I heard the conversation between Elini and the other kids.
There is something that is not apparent on the surface.
I don’t know if that is implicitly tolerated or if there is another reason.
‘Nothing too strange.’
Because everything has a hidden dark side.
Especially if the world is falling apart.
Just because it wasn’t overtly revealed, it could have been seen as okay.
Because there is that much room.
of course.
‘That doesn’t mean it’s normal.’
Is this okay?
What does that mean?
It’s okay if you’re fine.
It still is.
“What! “Who are you?”
The kid who shouted to Elini to unite.
A village resident was watching the scene through the window.
There was no warmth in the tightly closed lips and cold, sunken eyes.
Just in case, I asked Deokchun to keep an eye on me, but as expected.
“I am Urban’s guardian.”
I secretly checked the boy’s name with my authority and answered.
“What bullshit is that! “No one knows that I’m an orphan who came here two years ago.”
-Kwasik.
The wrist that was gently being held was crushed.
The guy screamed with the sound of bones breaking apart.
“Khaaaa! “What a crazy guy!”
“He’s a guardian.”
I grabbed his wrist and sprayed the potion on the rolling guy.
Since I didn’t crush it, it will stick to this level.
The man, who was sweating coldly, looked up at me with trembling eyes.
First of all, this guy seems ready to talk.
“Where should I go? “When you come to work and talk.”
“Ugh!”
The guy holding Urban tries to sneak away but stops.
The trembling of my chin seemed to be calculating whether I would be able to escape like this.
“I was just following you, Guardian Urban. “I just held on!”
The selection didn’t take long.
It looks like you’re not that stupid.
Nope.
-Bah.
“Ugh!”
It’s true that it’s stupid.
Who talks to a guardian like that?
You should either hit him head first or apologize first.
The guy who got hit in the back of the head fainted and fell to the ground.
“Who are you?”
“Someone who knows your friend.”
Urban asked, looking at me.
I received help, but since I don’t know my identity, I can’t help but feel wary.
Well, it would be the same even if you knew my identity.
In the end, I am also a stranger and a stranger.
If there is anything else.
“hey.”
“Yes, yes!”
It’s just that I have power.
“You know me, right?”
Hwareuk.
I started a fire with my fingertips.
Thanks to you, you will be able to see my face clearly.
The village is not large, so the story about me has probably already spread.
Even more so after I got rid of some monsters last time.
The man who had been blinking opens his mouth.
“You were a knight!”
At the same time, his eyes were filled with puzzlement.
“Why are you here? I don’t know what misunderstanding there is, but that child is an orphan. “He is a guy who steals things and does things carelessly.”
I nodded quietly.
It means to do more.
“They even gathered together a gang and threatened people. They say something for money. Isn’t it normal to buy something to eat or a place to live? “If you just yell at me to give it to you, that’s robbery!”
“You don’t pay the right price for the work!”
“What kind of money do you get for doing odd jobs? If you don’t like it, do something else! “There are plenty of people, even if not you, who would agree to these conditions!”
There will be something unfair about both of them.
How amazing would a person who is at most a middle school student do when he works?
You might do odd jobs or work.
Because I have no professional knowledge or skills.
Even so, there is almost nothing worth making a lot of money in a town like this.
Most of them are just farming or running a small store.
“Do you know that the food you eat just comes out? “Where are you staying?”
“What kind of accommodation is that? It’s a garbage dump! “I’m just asking for weekly wages!”
As we leave it alone to see if something has accumulated, voices rise.
I roughly threw the guy who was still unconscious.
The man who suddenly took it crumpled his face as if it was heavy.
“By the way, what is your relationship with Urbans?”
“Why are you curious about that? “I should have said it earlier.”
“lol. no. As the driver said, there are many relationships in this world.”
With that, the two men returned.
“Yes.”
Before I can say anything, Deokchun secretly follows the two.
Still, just in case.
“Kyaaaa!”
Even Mangu was summoned and attached.
If you did this much, there would be no problem.
“Urbans.”
“First of all, thank you?”
“I just need to know. “I have more questions than that.”
-Dude duh.
I activated Earth Wall weakly and created something to sit on.
I tilt my chin and sit across from him in amazement.
“What do you want to protect?”
I quietly stared into Urbans’ brown eyes.
I couldn’t protect anything when I was your age.
It’s already dawn.
It was time for the child to sleep, but no one cared.
Damn destruction turns even children into adults.
* * *
The call came quickly.
Judging from the fact that Deokchun and Mangu are back, it looks like they aren’t doing anything behind his back.
“You can come this way.”
The place we followed the man was beyond the lake.
It took time to go back, so I took a ferry to cross it.
I’ve felt it before, but the water is clear.
It seems like there are quite a lot of fish.
‘I think everyone was collecting drinking water from here.’
One thing I learned while I was in town these past few days.
There is no river nearby.
There are no other streams.
Without the lake that serves as a reservoir, this area would have been desolate.
I didn’t know how this lake was created.
“We’re all here. “Please don’t make loud noises.”
The question was quickly resolved.
“haha.”
I laughed a little.
okay.
It was a ruined world here.
[The stone statue of disaster apology sheds tears.]
A small forest exists behind the lake.
There was a pond in the center, and a statue modeled after an angel was inside it.
He held his hands together as if apologizing, and tears continued to flow from his closed eyes.
The tears that flowed like that pooled and flowed into the lake.
Around there.
“I killed it myself!”
“I’m sorry for pushing you. “I’m so sorry.”
“Oh oh. Do not forgive my sins.”
The missing vagabonds were on their knees confessing their sins.
Spilled food is rolling around.
There is no trace of eating.
I just prayed and prayed, occasionally licking the statue’s tears that had soaked into the floor.
“I think the person you mentioned last night is the author. Umm. “If you get any closer than this, everyone will turn away.”
The man scratching his head pointed to the stones lined up on the floor.
This means that from there is the area of disaster.
“I’m not disrespecting the driver, but it’s really dangerous. So I sent some in advance.”
Beep!
He whistled.
Perhaps reacting to the sound, someone who was invisible among the crowd raised his hand.
It is within the realm of disaster.
Small, skinny hands.
Twisted forearms visible with loose sleeves falling down.
“More to the left! “Bring it along well!”
He covered his eyes with a cloth so that he could not tell where he was.
The man claps his hands as he fumbles and catches the person praying according to his instructions.
“okay! “Take it with you!”
The man looked satisfied as he saw Elini dragging the person who was whining and praying.
“This is really difficult. “I’m glad there are less kids.”
I looked at Elini with his words flowing through one ear.
“Why are your eyes covered?”
“I can’t see.” “When children see a stone statue, they are often disgusted and end up hiding it.”
“Right. “Can I ask you a favor?”
“yes? “Do you need anything more?”
There isn’t really anything I need.
“Can you tell me to cover my ears too?”
“Oh well. Of course. Elini! Cover your ears!”
Elini flinches at the guy’s shout and covers her ears.
At the same time, my hand moved.
