I Was A Porter - chapter 73
_
In order to get rid of the blanket of darkness, the early rise of the day stood holding a trembling left hand by the head of the emulsion, either asleep or asleep.
The tremor that started on my arm spread throughout my body, and soon my whole body trembled like a thorn bush.
Even in the cold weather, Seung-ho’s face was already sweaty, but he could not feel anything while controlling his left arm.
Perhaps due to the slight commotion, the sleeping emulsion turned around and the extended arm reached the shin of the hoe.
He tried to naturally attract the warmth of his fingertips, but he woke up feeling somewhat foreign because he was attracted.
“…. Huh? ”
Yoohwa rubs his sleepy eyes, realizing that the owner of the bridge he held was Seung-ho, raising his head to look at him. The moonlight had already faded, but the facial contours could be seen leaning against the dusk of dawn.
Yoohwa noticed that his condition was strange and quickly got up and tried to look at his face, but he seemed to tell his distorted eyes to fall immediately.
Even asking him if he was okay, he tapped his shoulder as he approached the sleeping rhinoceros.
I woke up from sleep after being beaten so awkwardly by the expression “I fell asleep.”
In the meantime, the situation has worsened. Her eyes were bloodshot, and tears were flowing from her lips.
As I slowly turned around, I glanced at them with a sudden burst of glow, but it was not so bad.
The user swallows her saliva, but her natural abilities make it difficult for the target to figure out how to deal with an ugly, low-powered ascension.
At that time, he stepped forward instead of retreating. The fear that was hovering in my eyes disappeared without a trace, and only a warm feeling was formed that worried about winning.
I tried to grab the arms of the rhinoceros oil in an unprecedented burst of action, but I stopped trying to grab them and went on.
One step closer to winning, his eyes trembled roughly, but he couldn’t take a step back to calm his body down.
Coming right in front of him, he squeezed his arms wide and closed his eyes toward Seung-ho, trembling.
While watching behind him, Lu Shu’s left hand slowly moved toward the head of the emulsion.
At the imminent event, he turned his head away, and the emulsion hugged him tighter and did not let go of his clasped hands.
“Let go of my hand. ”
He opened his arms slightly, opened his eyes and looked at Seung-ho’s eyes, as he stroked his back head and spoke kindly.
His eyes, which turned red like they were about to burst, suddenly returned to normal. His face was covered in sweat, but he seemed to have caught on.
“How?”
Yoohwa hugged me to calm me down, but I also felt that my left hand had ended some part of my mind. However, his grip on the back of his head was clearly his left hand.
Eucalyptus would have been surprised, but it was nothing compared to the surprise of Ascension. Tears shed into his left hand as he headed toward the back of the oil.
It was filled with anger that he would volunteer here to save himself and regret that he would kill the rest of the oil with his own hands and that he had kept pushing his heart away. Moments before his hands touched the head of the emulsion passed through his mind, and his hands came under his control.
Seung-ho, who continued to stroke his head, openly opened his heart as he met his eyes.
“You…. Not yet, it smells like shit. ”
“This…. Yay!”
I slapped Seung-ho with my arm, which I unravelled. I have to hit with all my strength with an emulsion, but how painful would it be to wield my magic without loading it? As he gladly watched, he raised his arm and knng his nose.
“Do I smell that? ”
Seung-ho and Yoo-Hwa watched him burst into laughter.
After a moment of unrestrained urgency, Seung-ho, who had regained his composure, sat down.
“I think I can control it a little bit. ”
“Did you know how it works? ”
When he asked the question, he started scratching his jaw a little embarrassed.
“Hmm…. How do I explain this? ”
I tore my head off for a while, but I couldn’t think of a way to explain it right away.
“Let’s start with breakfast. You have to eat.”
I didn’t bring enough food, so I had to worry about food from tomorrow. Thanks to this, the dining atmosphere naturally became somewhat depressing.
It was only after one night that I felt it clearly.
“Can we go back? ”
It is unknown whether the gate will be reopened once Vallock is dead. I might have to live here for the rest of my life. I pressed heavily on the breasts of the emulsifier who brought out the words.
“Of course.”
However, they were surprised at the positive response of the win. Slowly, the moving spoon completely stopped.
“Is there really a way? ”
“It will one day. ”
The two of them sighed with a face that did not seem promising. Despite their reactions, Seung-ho never gave up hope.
It was this vague hope that helped me win when I was left here alone. I could never let go of this hope that held me back from becoming helpless, consumed by despair.
“Someday… It will.”
The eyes of Seungho muttering once more, receiving a single beam of sunlight shining through the leaves, shimmered with excellence.
He insisted that the emulsion was breakfast prepared by hand, but the simple amount was everything. Seung-ho asked me to distribute the same, but I gave another piece of Jerky to Seung-ho because she said she would eat less.
Seung-ho chewed the jerky thistle and touched the energy that was staying in his heart for a while.
The jaw stopped looking away, and the emulsion immediately caught my attention.
“What are you doing? ”
“Well, just… ”
I tried to move on, but his eyes changed sharply. Soon as his lips were about to open, Seung-ho quickly took out the stone from Balock’s heart yesterday.
“You couldn’t get the other monsters’ corners out, could you? ”
“I was busy fighting, but where was the time to get it out? I should have gone to get it out last night. ”
A successful triumph over the topic brought me joy. I hurried to get the marble, and I got up from my seat with the jerky in my mouth.
A massive battle with monsters was only a short distance from where you wanted to sleep. Moreover, while collecting the stone, the hunters urgently discard a small amount of rations.
“I’m a beggar. ”
The group picks up the remaining intact pieces of jerky and biscuit bags on the floor.
“Give me a horse and carriage. ”
At the end of Seungho’s remarks, he gave me the Fine Stone in his hand, and I held the Stone in my left hand. In his right hand is a stone that he took from his heart. Comparing the two, it seems that something from him has lost its power.
“Even the power of the Stone is weakened by life…? ”
Not only can it absorb the life force with its left hand, but it can also absorb the magic stones. The energy contained in the stone held in its own hand was completely silent. I’ve been twitching for a while, but I haven’t earned much.
I turned around again to see if I was bored with the emulsification I was watching, and took off my butt to check for emergency rations. At the same time, Seung-ho got up from his seat with the horse in his arms.
“Let’s stop looking and go. ”
“Where are you going? Just a little more food. There’s nothing to do anyway. ”
There were no gates to close and no monsters to risk their lives for. However, Seungho shook his head at the words of Yoohwa.
“I have work to do. ”
Seung-ho’s words tilt his head, but he brings his rhinoceros, which is still sweeping the floor without words. His expression was not so puzzled when he heard that he was moving.
“What’s going on? ”
“I need to find something. We can get food anyway, so let’s start with this. ”
Seung-ho walked forward without any explanation, and followed behind him, he walked two more without question. Seungho looks at the map and its surroundings, and puts the map in his arms to see if he remembers anything.
“This way.”
As Seungho passed by, there were broken trees growing everywhere, and there were massive bones that were thought to be monster bones everywhere. Signs of a long fierce battle remained, and monsters’ ashes were scattered all around.
When Seungho and Hong Kong’s expression changed similarly, one thought passed through the head of the oil painting.
“Here… ”
As he tried to ask Seung-ho who was walking ahead, Seung-ho turned his head and nodded slowly.
“Yes. The porters who fought 21 years ago, or died in retreat. ”
* * *
I searched for the remains all day, but there were many remains that I didn’t know the names of. However, the only Korean who cared kindly for Seungho was able to recover the remains.
“Met, Chase, Anton, Berkushe…. Enjoy your stay there. ”
When I prayed with Seung-ho and Rhino, I joined him in the choir, then I stepped back and stabbed him in the side of the choir.
“Are they Buddhist? ”
“How should I know? ”
“Then why join us? ”
The sudden question of Yoohwa should have been sacrificed according to their religion, but the bear decided that sacrifices are for the living, not for the lion’s religion.
He comforted himself and mourned the death of his fellow porters who died here without even knowing it. The food provided for the sacrifice runs short, and the party immediately enters their mouths.
“What are you going to do now? ”
“Let’s get some survival supplies first. I don’t know if it’s still there…. ”
In the direction of the mumbling tide, there was a thick forest. As you quickly clear the forest with the branches in your hand, you see the very old captains hiding in between.
“Wow! What is this? Are these the captains you used to bring? It was quite hectic…. Wow…”
He continued to be amazed at the many armies hiding in the bush.
“Yes, the things the porters used to take with them. I left everything I could use, but I don’t know if there’s anything else I can use… ”
I rummaged through the backpack, but the backpack that had barely kept its shape was torn just a little rough.
“Can I eat this? ”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Empty it inside and put it away. We need plastic bottles. ”
It was clear that the bottled water with the emulsion was not opened, but it was hard to call what was inside water anymore. Seung-ho frowned and waved his hands as he continued to wave the bottle in front of his eyes with a playful face.
“Don’t be ridiculous. Go away and throw it away. It stinks.”
“Yes ~”
He went to dump the water, shaking his butt to see if it felt good even with the bruising of Seungho. Along with the water bottler, there are still enough jackknives to use and two sets of fire sticks in the zipper bag. I was relieved when the rhinoceros lighter ran out of oil.
“We’re done shopping here, so let’s get going. ”
“To where?”
“Somewhere you can live, somewhere you can survive. ”
I almost fell into silence for a moment because of his short but meaningful words, but he opened his mouth pretending to be cheerful.
“…. Then tell me how you lived here. ”
Seung-ho knew his heart, so he laughed.
“Wonder what? ”
“Next story in the butthole. ”
Seung-ho’s face frowned like he was eating shit at the words of an oil painting.
