Episode 60
Previously, Doyul was not very small for his age, but recently Doyul has grown by almost a span.
‘No, it didn’t hurt this much when I was raising Sejin.’
Even though Yerin was pouting, she was busy taking care of Doyul.
So today.
She was sitting next to Doyul and talking about the letter from the central region.
“I heard that they succeeded in restoring some of the vision at Sacheondangmun Gate.”
The person who sent the letter was Hyuk Min-woo.
He was the first disciple sent from the Beihai Ice Palace to manage the land transferred from Sichuan Tangmun.
After hearing that story, Doyul’s expression darkened a little.
“Is that so?”
No matter how well Sichuan Tangmun is presented, the relationship with Beihai Ice Palace cannot be said to be very smooth.
It was natural that Doyul could not help but feel uncomfortable.
Yerin continued speaking as if to comfort Doyul.
“Well, anyway, there is a secret to the Millennium Tales here.”
Only after hearing those words did Doyul’s expression relax a little.
Yerin shrugged her shoulders.
“According to the records, even though the vision of the Tang Dynasty was restored, the Tang family head was not very happy.”
Perhaps it is because of the existence of the Millennium Tales.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know that there exists a spiritual organization that can destroy the extreme poison of the Tang Dynasty?
“The recent atmosphere at Sacheondangmun is literally like walking on thin ice.”
The letter Hyuk Min-woo sent contained detailed information about the party gate.
Although the letter was written with utmost courtesy, it was clear that he was happy.
So, let me summarize the contents of this letter in one word.
‘It tastes like sesame salt.’
… … I will go.
‘Well, I’m going to sue you too, but how would Hyuk Min-woo’s disciple, who is at the temple in person, feel?’
Yerin openly smiled brightly on her face.
“Aren’t you really suing me?”
“You mean to sue?”
“We have managed to restore the vision of Tangmun, but it is as if we have the elixir that will completely destroy it!”
Yerin, who was very excited, clenched her fists and shouted.
“Considering that the head of the family has a very distorted face… … !”
“… … .”
“Palace lord?”
Meanwhile.
Yerin tilted her head.
This was because Doyul had an ambiguous expression.
For a moment, Yerin’s eyes narrowed.
‘Ah, I think I understand.’
Since I know that the head of the family is Yerin’s biological father, I can’t bear to like him openly.
Nevertheless, the corners of the lips twitch because of the laughter that bursts out… … .
Yerin nodded generously.
“You can smile.”
“Ahaha!”
Only then did Doyul burst into loud laughter.
It was a refreshing laugh that seemed to pierce the hearts of those who heard it.
* * *
About a month passes.
Doyul got up from his seat.
The growing pains that had plagued him for a long time were finally over.
However, Yerin was happy that Doyul had recovered completely, but was also a little shaken.
“… … “I am the palace lord.”
Yerin looked up at Doyul with mysterious eyes.
“When did you grow up so much… … ?”
What, I feel deprived… … .
Yerin truly thought so.
That’s because Doyul has grown up so much.
His height, which had grown even for a sixteen-year-old boy, was now comparable to that of most adults.
‘Now, the womb of a young man is slowly emerging.’
However, compared to that degree, isn’t Yerin still a child?
At that time, when Yerin was feeling complicated in many ways due to the far different eye level.
Doyul looked down at Yerin with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
“… … “Was your wife this short?”
No, this guy?!
The time when Yerin’s eyes lit up.
“Palace lord, matriarch.”
Someone called them.
This time, he was the newly elected governor of Financial Won.
“I received a call from the chief of Seoga Village.”
“Seoga Village?”
Doyul tilted his head.
Seoga Village.
It was a small village located halfway up the snowy mountain that could be reached by riding a horse for two or three days from Behai Province.
I heard that only about a dozen families make a living through hunting… … .
“yes. “They say they are asking Lord Binggung for help.”
“to me?”
Doyul accepted the letter handed to him by the financial advisor with a puzzled look on his face.
If we were to strip away all the polite greetings addressed to the palace lord, the contents were as follows.
<The animals have been acting strangely lately.
Animals raised at home keep trying to escape the fence, and field mice are escaping the village in droves.
Moreover, it is not uncommon to see wild beasts and animals living in the mountains moving to other places.
Everyone in the village is shaking with anxiety.
So, please do us a favor and ask the North Sea Ice Palace to investigate this matter… … .>
Doyul, who had read the entire letter, frowned.
“… … “It’s definitely a bit strange.”
Meanwhile, Yerin, who was watching the letter from the side, secretly lit up her eyes.
‘This is it, isn’t it?’
A phenomenon in which animals sense danger and run away.
The terrified villagers even ask the male protagonist of the original story for help.
This series of processes is.
‘Soon, perennial ice crystals will appear.’
Perennial ice crystals.
It was an auspicious being that existed in Beihai Province.
Along with Millennium Tales, it was also a major role that dramatically improved the male protagonist’s abilities.
In general martial arts novels, Permanent Ice Pavilion is usually described as a jewel containing the essence of winter.
But in this novel where Yerin is possessed… … .
‘It’s a spirit that gathers the energy of nature.’
As described in the original work, signing a contract with the Permanent Ice Jeong is equivalent to gaining almost 1% more power.
Yerin glanced at Doyul from the corner of her eye.
‘When Doyul signed with Mannyeon Bingjeong, he said he would become one of the best new players in the midfield.’
The owner of the North Sea Ice Palace is often given the formal title of ‘blessed with a 1000-year ice palace.’
And Doyul made that modifier a reality by signing a contract with Permanent Ice Well.
Yerin, who was reflecting on the contents of the original work, was inwardly impressed.
‘Of course it’s a munchkin… … .’
Actually, Yerin herself had thought about signing a contract with the Perennial Ice Jeong in her past life.
But at that time, I didn’t want to deviate from the original work as much as possible, so I just moved on without signing a contract.
To be precise, it was because I was tired of the arduous work of going to find perpetual ice crystals… … .
“Hmm.”
Yerin briefly cleared her throat and came out of her thoughts.
“Anyway, I guess I’ll have to look into this.”
“I agree.”
Doyul nodded.
“I guess I’ll have to go and see for myself.”
Goram, Gorrum.
Only then can our male protagonist make a contract with the Permanent Ice Crystal, right?
At that moment, Financial Wonju asked Doyul a question.
“Then we should form an investigation team.”
“Yes, please give it to me. “Please tell the head of the discipline and confirm the number of people.”
“How many people can we have?”
“Well, it’s a hassle if there are too many people… … .”
Do-yul and Jae-jae Won-ju talked about various things about the investigation team.
Then, Yerin, who was quietly listening to the story, asked Doyul.
“When are you leaving?”
“Well, I plan to go quickly as soon as I’m ready.”
Doyul, who had been answering like that without thinking, momentarily looked at Yerin with suspicious eyes.
“… … “But why do you ask that?”
“Well, I have to pack my bags too.”
“Ma’am, why are you packing your bags?”
“They say a needle and thread go together.”
Yerin shamelessly shrugged her shoulders.
“It’s impossible for a wife to not go when her husband is going, right?”
“… … .”
Doyul was silent for a moment with a complicated expression on his face, but then answered firmly.
“But that doesn’t work.”
Yerin was furious.
Ah, why not!
* * *
After Jae-jae Won-ju left the position.
“Ma’am, please think again.”
Doyul tried hard to persuade Yerin.
“Do you know how far away Seoga Village is?”
“Of course I know!”
Yerin answered confidently.
No, why don’t I know that?
Even though it happened 300 years ago during the Seolryun Day, Yerin had already been to Seojiachon.
Because Seogajachon was the place where the male protagonist would sign a contract with Ten Thousand Years of Ice in the future.
I thought it would be a good idea to take a look… … .
‘I thought I knew why the perennial ice crystals were staying there.’
Even though I didn’t stay there long, I could feel it.
The snowy mountain standing tall with pure white ice on top was filled with the spirit of nature.
It was such an auspicious land that even ordinary animals and plants were transformed into spiritual creatures.
“It might be dangerous.”
Doyul could not hide his worried expression.
“Don’t you say the animals are running away?”
“I heard that too.”
“And yet you are so calm and weak?”
Doyul asked Yerin back with a straight face.
“You don’t even know what’s going on there. As expected of a wife going to a place like that… … .”
Then Yerin asked back.
“Then does the palace lord know?”
“… … that.”
“See, even the palace lord doesn’t know.”
Yerin shrugged both shoulders proudly.
“Please change your position and think about it.”
“No, that’s… … .”
“The palace lord told me not to follow him because it might be dangerous.”
Yerin looked up at Doyul with stern eyes.
“I can’t be dangerous, but can the palace lord be dangerous?”
