House of Nothing, the library of the Blue Dragon Troops.
The mountains that could be seen through the window were beautiful, and the back of a great blue dragon with bristling scales seed amazing.
Seol Young mumbled.
The scenery is nice.
Actually, he didnt really go to the library for the records. He wanted to be in a quiet place away from the others. And since there wasnt much about the Disfigured Spirit, it was much better to learn about it from soone who had witnessed it firsthand.
Wasnt there soone who had co across it? When he looked back, he saw Zaha waiting.
It sounds like the scenery is nice. Did you see anything nice?
My eyes are working fine.
It didnt seem like that before. Dealing with his spiritual power like that, dont you realize that even if you go out of your way, it wouldnt be worth it?
The one who doesnt know anything is the High Governor.
Seol Young answered.
For , this place is like the center of the enemy lines. I wouldnt look down on them just because they showed their weak side. Otherwise, I might really turn into a target for their arrows this ti.
For that reason alone?
Zaha said, as if he couldnt understand.
I wonder if they can still attack you now that their troops have a big problem?
You never know. How can you be sure that they wont be angry or attack first just because theyre quiet now?
Even if you are on alert, it cannot be helped
Zaha was about to say sothing.
What was wrong with being alert?
Seol Young looked around.
This library was the place where he had previously ordered his demonic beasts to be destroyed. How was he sitting here like this?
As expected, you never know what happens in the world.
With that thought in mind, he looked at Zaha.
Anyway, I tried to be moderate this ti. It seems like the spiritual power of Seo Jun-rang is becoming stronger, and if he wakes up again, it will be difficult to calm him down.
We need to get clues soon.
He was deep in thought and looked serious. Zaha said,
The more I think about this, the more confusing it is. Six Hwarangs returned from a simple investigation mission and were attacked by the spirits but the truth was that Seo Jun-rang killed them?
Zaha mumbled as he walked through the bookshelves.
Does a Disfigured Spirit commit suicide? Right. Of course, I know that there are cases where the spirit returns in a short ti. But this is Seo Jun-rang we are talking about.
Seol Young turned to him.
What kind of person was he?
Seo Jun
Zaha said.
He hated the sword.
A Hwarang?
So what? It might not be the right fit for him.
Then he should have stopped.
How can the eldest son of a famous family do that? It was painful for him. Because he was the type of guy, who hated swords and liked poetry and jokes. He was soone who couldnt be compared to the brilliant younger brother he had.
He added that right away.
It may sound like an insult, but I actually liked Seo Jun-rang.
Because he wasnt sane?
Do you have to say that? There is nothing wrong with wanting sothing else.
It was surprising that he liked soone for the personality that they had.
When Seo Jun-rang did well, I would congratulate him, saying, Ah, you did great. Even when his father would scold him, the man never gave up.
I see.
Not just . But many people actually liked him. However, Seo Geom hated his brother. He couldnt stand how he didnt have any talent.
Seol Young didnt have to see it to know, and he asked,
Was there anything strange about Seo Jun-rang before it happened?
Not at all.
Zaha shook his head.
Its normally like that. First, it happens without warning. A person who has just been laughing and talking suddenly turns into an evil spirit and hurts their family and friends.
And the second?
Too many forms. There is no big change in their appearance. Only their eyes change, or they turn into monsters. In so cases, they even grow horns, and their nails beco longer.
And the third?
It is impossible to turn back. From the old days until now, there has never been a case where a person who had lost his nature returned to his original state. Because their souls have completely changed.
Zaha looked out the window.
And because of that, everyone was afraid of becoming a Disfigured Spirit. As the evilness intensifies, one never knows when it will change and turn into sothing crazier. That is why I began to look for the Yin-Yang plaque. Right before a soul becos tainted, at least the Yin-Yang plaque can show the signs of it.
Seol Young listened and asked.
Then what did you do? If the plaque showed signs
I was prepared to kill them.
And what about the exceptions?
No.
Zaha said.
Anyway, the important thing is this. It is true that the plaque changes when a Disfigured Spirit gets close, but just because there are abnormalities in the plaque doesnt an everyone is tainted. For example, you.
Yes.
So Seo Jun-rang seed to be the sa to when he first appeared. He seed fine.
Zaha spoke.
All of the tis I used my sword to cut them down were done neatly. Was it because he didnt die at my hands and killed himself?
What Euljae had said ca to his mind.
-At that ti, the High Governor was going through tough tis, so we didnt rush
Looking back at his face as he said that, he felt a sense of dj vu.
He had a cautious attitude, as if he didnt want to talk about sothing personal.
It reminded him of the attitude Jin Rim had when he t Zaha.
-And his sister had a third child
Jin Rim said that, but then he regretted saying it as well.
Is it sothing bad related to his sister?
As Seol Young thought about it, Zaha looked up. He seed to notice it.
Did you think of sothing just now?
Seol Young was shocked, but
Do I have the ti to think about sothing else?
Instead, he hardened his face.
At that mont, a blue light shone from Seol Youngs wrist.
Seo Jun was waking up, which shocked them both.
Already?
They thought he would be asleep, at least for the night.
They hurried outside, and it was already noisy.
HAAA.
Seo Jun was in the middle of the yard, yawning.
When I opened my eyes, it was already morning, I should really drink in moderation.
Seol Young doubted his eyes.
How is he out? Could it be that he had already begun to break free of the constraints of space?
I dont think so.
Sa Hyun, the 4th mber of the Blue Dragon True Toops, said with a pale face.
Looking at the situation, it seems like he did it on his own.
Seol Young asked in disbelief,
On his own?
If it is Seo Jun-rang, it is possible.
What do you an?
When Seol Young turned to Zaha, he didnt seem to know anything either.
We forgot one important thing.
What is it?
Seo Jun-rang was a genius when it ca to escaping, and since he was young, he would always run away from ho.
Uh?
His father locked him up too. So the way he would escape always changed. He was always modifying the shackles and locks
He never thought of this.
Seol Young was lost for words and looked at Seo Jun.
Yawning again, Seo Jun looked at his clothes.
Look at this mud. Where did I roll around last night? Did they kick out because I didnt pay for the drink?
He didnt even know why everyone looked so shocked
Seo Jun spoke and acted normally, like a living being.
It will be a ss if he sees
He looked around and found the trainees.
Can soone get clothes before my brother cos? As soon as possible!
The trainees were shocked.
That, clothes
What about clothes?
There are no clothes.
What? My room should have lots of clothes! Go!
Seo Juns voice rose a little.
They should never provoke him. Everyone knew that, so they didnt know what to do.
At that ti, Gyeon Yun, the third mber of the Blue Dragon True Troops, ran hurriedly and stood in front of the frightened trainees.
You asked for your old clothes to be thrown away, and you said that your new clothes had to be tailored for the festival.
He responded wittily and held out soones robe.
Ah, right.
Now
Although the situation was creepy, Gyeon Yun mustered up the courage and tried to put clothes on Seo Jun. But the mont he was about to touch his hand
Do not touch !
Seo Jun yelled.
A strange aura rose from his body, and his face twisted.
Is he going rampant again?
Seol Young was about to jump out. But Zaha blocked him.
No.
He pointed at Seo Jun. His face, which looked like it would explode, went blank.
What was it? There was sothing very important
Seo Jun mumbled like he had sothing to say. Then he moved his lips a few tis as if to say sothing, and then he stopped.
His strange aura slowly subsided.
Well, thank you.
He quickly put on a new robe and tied his hair.
I just realized now that even my shoes are a ss.
As was his habit, he put his hand on the tree next to him and tried to take his shoes off, but he stumbled.
Uh? Where did the tree go? The tree I planted?
That.
I took it down.
A cold voice said.
Seo Geom walked with the Hwarangs, and he looked straight at his brother.
That is too much.
Seo Jun shook his head.
I was the one who ca drunk. What did the tree do wrong for you to cut it down? It was such a precious tree
It wasnt cut down. It died.
Died? No, why did a tree that was fine until yesterday die?
Seo Jun asked, puzzled, and his gaze stopped in one place.
What happened to the library? Why did you tear down a perfectly fine building and build a new one?
He looked horrified.
Where did my music sheets go?
They burned.
Seo Geom said.
Seo Jun was shocked.
Did you.
I didnt burn it.
Seo Geom looked at his older brother. There was tension between the two.
And Seo Juns face changed.
Co to think of it, I forgot sothing important
He mumbled, and the unknown energy began to grow thicker again.
Seol Young stepped forward again. Zaha glanced at him.
Did you forget what you just said? You said you were going to let go of it this ti.
I tried, but I didnt think it would be like this. This is my responsibility.
The idea that the Blue Dragon Troops gave him a reason to burn down the library didnt change, but if Seo Jun-rang was soone whose truth had to be uncovered, then he needed to help.
Because I was the one who ordered the spirits to run rampant here.
Seol Young thought so and stepped forward.
I burned it.
Seo Jun looked at him.
Who?
Im Seol Young, a Hwarang.
Ive never heard that na.
Seo Juns eyes flashed.
What were you thinking when you ca here and burned down my music sheets?
A strange aura rose. It felt like his negative emotions were fueling it.
Dangerous.
Seol Young raised his spiritual qi in one hand and confronted Seo Jun.
anwhile, in the Moon Palace, Jin Rim was having a eting with the three Hwarangs of the White Tiger Troops.
The festival is coming soon, so I hope you will all pay special attention to
He thought for a while and added,
Ah, Seol Young-rang has co back.
Is that so?
All three of them looked happy.
We should go and see.
If it is about the plaque, I already told him. But right now, he has a task on his hand.
Are you saying that his trip to Apryang didnt go well?
No. I heard that it went well, but they went straight for the Blue Dragon Hall because they had sothing else to do.
The Blue Dragon Hall?
The three were startled.
They couldnt say anything with the Governor right in front of them, so they greeted him goodbye and went out.
Is it about the supernatural calamity?
Hyo Wol mumbled, being a bit on the edge.
At the Blue Dragon Hall
Seo Geom was not the type to hide his ill feelings toward Seol Young, so everyone was aware of them.
Song Ok looked at Baek Eon with a hardened face.
Could it be that sothing bad happened? Is Seo Geom-rang hurting
Ah, would he do sothing like that?
At Hyo Wols words, Song Ok said,
I dont know. He is an insane person. I dont know what he would do with Seol Young.
And then they turned to Baek Eon.
Lets try to find out why he went there.
He thought for a while and then nodded.
Finding out about it wasnt wrong.
Coincidentally, so Hwarangs were passing by, and Baek Eon grabbed one of them.
Have you seen the Hwarangs of the Blue Dragon True Troops?
We saw a few of them a while ago, but they were in a rush due to a summons order.
They all said.
It looks like they are closed.
Closed?
Yes, we dont know what is happening, but it seems like everyone apart from them is being prohibited from entering.
Then what about the visitors?
They said things like, We cannot let anyone co.
What?
The three of them were shocked.
We need to go.
Everyone hurriedly turned around and followed Baek Eon.
