synthesis!

"Haab!"

At the Bunta dance hall, the nuns were in full swing in martial arts training. A little higher up the gymnasium, there was a hermitage of Taesashinni on a small hill.

A tree was planted in front of the hermitage, and it looked like a skewer not long after it was planted.

It lay on a flat next to the tree.

An old monk and a young man were sitting on the bench.

"Do you live in such a small place?"

"It's enough just to have space to lie down."

"That's right."

Young Suho looked at the skewered tree and asked.

"It will take a while for even a shade to form. Can I raise you?"

"Ho-ho, it's nice to see them grow little by little over time."

"Ugh."

"Isn't it more expensive the longer you grow it?"

"Do you think this tree will die first before it is fully grown?"

"How do you know what the future holds for Binseung? If I go first, this tree will remember me."

"Ugh."

Suho alternately looked at the bare tree and the tall grass.

"Um, I don't know."

Suho, who had been watching for a long time, laid down on the floor with his arm pillows on the floor.

"The old man seems to have a lot of troubles."

Suddenly, the title was changed from a blood horse to a sage.

"A lot of trouble."

Suho looked up at the blue sky and just watched the clouds flow.

"In the old days, I used to wait and take it easy, but now it's really urgent."

"What are you in such a hurry for?"

Suho gave his gaze to Geon-woo and Chua, who were playing in the yard of the hermitage from afar.

"Because no one is waiting."

Kids these days are so fast.

When he was young and buoyant, Geon-woo saw his descendants before himself.

"Is it worth staying here?"

"There is no separate Mureungdowon."

Not empty words, but Taesashinni really felt that way.

After leaving the midfield, I feel like I left all my troubled thoughts and relationships there.

I envy you.

"What could a sage be envious of this Binseung?"

"You are old. Are you going to die of old age soon? Wow, I'm really envious."

" ."

Is this the diaphragm area that calls for a coin-operated horse?

"Is it fun to make fun of an old monk?"

"Are you kidding me?"

" You are serious."

Taesashinni's eyebrows gently curved.

Does the shape of a horse matter to nothing?

There is no meaning in it.

Suho's words contained the sincerity without any lies.

"Are you envious of getting old?"

"You are all getting old. That tree will one day grow up and spread its branches. Then you will wither to death."

" ."

"However, that robber will not last forever. The waterway will change, and the river itself may disappear. How about that mountain?"

" ."

"Everyone changes, but nothing is more painful than not changing alone."

I feel like I have glimpsed a secret streak in Suho's words filled with regret.

"Binseung celebrates its 150th anniversary this year."

"Are you asking my age? I do not know. Seda forgot I must have lived at least ten times longer than you."

" ."

hello you were new

You were a person who entered the realm of the Zen world and lost life.

"How did the good man return to the human world ."

"Ah, I came here to come. What could be the reason?"

How much did you miss civilization?

" no reason... ."

Taesashinni pondered those words several times, then quietly closed her eyes and sat still.

Seeing that, Suho laughed.

If you don't want to talk, say you don't like it, everything else is a blessing.

"Yeah, turn it off."

Suho patted his ass and stood up.

"Hey little ones. let's go eat.

Chua and Geon-woo, who were arguing with each other with a tree in between, saw Suho at the same time.

"Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm fine too."

"Look at these."

Suho smiled and waved his hand.

"A quick-witted uncle will fall for you."

"Oh, enjoy it."

Bye.

Suho smiled as he walked down the street.

"Fast, fast."

Hard-hearted bastard, he doesn't take a single shot when he goes to his uncle.

I wanted to have a lot of fun, but I was alternately cutting the fallen leaves from the trees.

It will be martial arts training and play.

"Sheesh, I'm embarrassed, so I need to breed quickly."

Yes? Breeding?"

Suho saw Kim Mi-so sitting in a pavilion by the stream on the side of the road.

"Why are you here?"

"I waited."

"Work? Are you done?"

"I'm still here to report it."

Kim Mi-so said with a smile.

"Once you go, you can move freely. The portal was rejected by me."

North Korea persistently asked for a new mobile portal, but Kim Mi-so refused.

A direct link with Pyongyang is still premature.

okay? You can't fight in vain.

"Fufu, that's right."

After all, Suho will freely roam wherever there is an agreement or not.

This convention is not intended to protect.

It is meaningful to block in advance the victim who may be grieving because of Suho's act of self-defense.

disputes resulting from it.

Those who will really benefit are the other mercenary raids of the Guardian Guild.

Their scope of activity extends beyond the fields near Seoul to all over North Korea.

Go further to the Manchurian Plain.

It has become difficult to claim the field as a territory in the modern era, which is divided into city-states.

Even if entering the city is a separate issue, you can wander around the field as much as you want.

okay. there was nothing But why the portal?"

"We are still in direct communication."

The guardian guild has nothing to gain by breaking through the portal.

For now, it is better to keep a distance from each other by interacting with the field in between.

"Ah, we have decided to start trading. I will do this with the cooperation of the raid, so you don't have to worry about it."

The Guardian Guild raid increases to 50.

Not all of them are at a high level, but once the number has grown, there is room to be hired for tasks that require force or security in addition to dungeon capture missions.

"Trade?"

"Yes, it is a brokerage trade. We buy various kinds of food on Aruka and sell it to Pyongyang."

What you get in return is bloodstone and monster by-products.

Since the former government that was vigilant and oppressing the Awakened has collapsed, Pyongyang will have a tremendous increase in the number of Awoken in the future.

They can satisfy hunger and escape poverty with the bloodstone and monster by-products they earn.

What the Guardian Guild gains from this is not all the profits through brokerage trade.

'It buys time.'

Miso Kim required two hours.

Time for Pyongyangites to get used to capitalism.

And the time for the guardian guild to be etched deep in their minds.

They will gradually use the guardian guild's battlesuit and guardian guild artifacts over time.

To that end, production facilities have been prepared and are being prepared.

Pyongyang will slowly become the satellite city of the Suho City.

very slowly... .

Installing a mobile portal is just that point.

It is a reward like a leash given to a fully tamed dog.

food? Do I have to make another field?"

"No, I can't keep using the boss's powers."

right. This power is limited."

The foundation of the harmony of guardianship is plants.

They borrow their life energy to create harmony magic.

If you use that power little by little in a forest that is full of harmony like Guardian City, there is no problem, but if you forcefully use magic in a place with low vitality, the area will only become desolate.

Growing rice with rapid growth in Pyongyang is a price to trade for the vitality of weeds and trees in the surrounding area.

The harmony magic that the guardian can use without the help of harmony power through the tree spirit is his harmony stat.

It's just the power of that number.

"Oh, I didn't know that."

"Not everything is created from nothing. It changes."

This energy is converted to low energy.

As with life and death, everything changes.

'Skills like this... .'

After Suho spoke, he became bitter for nothing.

"Are there any students you can use as an intern?"

"A lot. why?

"You have to grow it."

"Oh, why are you so active?"

"I need to go to Aruka and see."

Kim Mi-so also knows about the topics that Suho and Jang Soon-pil work together every day.

"You can go now."

now?

Yeah.

" ."

Suho stared at Kim Mi-so.

"Why do you look like that?"

"Can you do it without me?"

"It's the planet Aruka."

Well?

"If you've been to the planet Gucheon, what are you so worried about?"

worry? I? haha.

Suho replied with a smirk.

"You are concerned."

"There are messengers who speak more than ever."

"What if something happens while I'm running?"

"Except for the president, we have been in our guild since the 2nd place in the world awakening level."

Putting aside Park Soo-ho, who transcends ranks, the U-Class Awakening itself exists only in the Guardian Guild in the world.

There are less than 200 SS ranks in the world, but there are more than 30 in the Guardian Guild alone.

Without going too far, if all 12 conglomerates in Seoul are combined, there are only three SS-level awakeners.

"Don't worry, go ahead."

"Ugh."

Suho moaned.

I just saw a distant mountain.

look at this

If you take a little care, it will quickly grow and become independent?

The Guardian Guild, which was like a candle in front of the wind, has already become a forest fire. It does not turn off for a while, and it is to the extent that it is called out on its own without help from anyone.

The guardian guild that already has a system in place has only a difference in speed, and will continue to be the world's No. 1 guild without the help of the guardian.

At this point, I can't help but admit it.

It seems that the reason for worry was not in the guild, but in himself.

Good. Don't worry."

Kim Mi-so hastily stopped him from leaving at any moment.

"You think of going on a tour. How about joining the next trade procession?"

tourism? surely ."

Kim Mi-so will do just fine.

"Huhu, you can go and help out with the trade negotiating team."

There are two trade routes to the planet Aruka.

Busan Gate and Jeju Island Gate.

Both places are connected to the planet Aruka, but there is a difference of distance between Korea and Australia.

"The two places are connected to different estates in different countries."

wisdom?

Yeah. Elves and dwarves on Aruka planet each have their own territory."

"Oh."

It was similar to the Earth, where countries were united to form a society.

"Jeju Island Gate is the territory of the Naria tribe, and the Busan Gate is the territory of the Aroa tribe."

The sad thing is that both Naria and Aroa are elf tribes.

"Their land is fertile and the crops grow very quickly. And there is a steady demand for bloodstone."

interests are aligned.

Bloodstones are provided and food is provided.

"A peaceful land? what's the problem?

Kim Mi-so smiled softly.

"The tribes are not willing to do business with either of them."

The Naria tribe has maintained relations with the current government of the Republic of Korea. There, the Aroa tribe is doing business with the Yeongnam Federation.

"I want a new trade route for the Guardian Guild."

"Are you trying to steal it?"

"Ah, maybe."

Seoul and Busan are already friendly cities.

7-star dungeons are also in a difficult current situation, but considering the threat of 8-star dungeons, you can never harm the relationship.

When it comes to dungeon raids, what reason would there be to turn cities that were almost subordinate to them as enemies?

"They only trade in bulk with those with tokens of trust."

Tourists can buy at the market, but not large enough to cover the city.

Because it has to go through the chieftain, not the market.

"Then you want to get a token of trust?"

Are you going to take yourself for this?

"I want a whole new trade route."

At Kim Mi-so's words, Suho tilted his head.
