Chapter 81: Flute Of Foreboding (1)

The roadside to the capital had houses with tiled roofs on both sides.

Because of the heavy rain from the night before, puddles of water remained, and the procession of the Hwarangs could be seen.

People came out on the road and whispered.

The beast on Mount Danseok has been captured.

What? The demonic beast?

Someone pointed to the large lump of iron at the end of the procession. They were escorting an iron box.

It was sealed up in layers of chains and locks the size of a forearm.

Because it was made of iron, what was inside couldnt be seen.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The only thing they could hear was the sound from inside of it.

Mom.

Some kids who were close to it were startled and backed out.

Be careful.

The Hwarangs smiled.

Slowly, the number of Hwarangs decreased, and the people watching noticed it. Among the Hwarangs who were dressed in blue were two men with odd clothes.

One of them looked like a high-ranking Hwarang who had a black robe with a golden pattern, and the other one just wore a white robe.

The two men had contrasting clothes and moved a bit far from the group.

What could it be? They are

Seol Young lowered his voice.

Not yet.

Zaha replied with a snort. On their way, he handled everything well.

The iron box and the symbols.

While everyone was devastated by Seo Juns sudden appearance, Zaha remembered that Danseok was a place for the Hwarangs to train. So they headed there to imprison the demonic beast.

Thanks to this, they managed to hide Seo Jun and bring him back to the capital. But they had to overcome many more things.

Seo Geom approached him.

High Governor, what should we do now?

He asked, pointing his head. With no time at all, they began to move toward the palace.

Zaha said,

What do you mean? Everyone will behave normally, and I will handle it with the Governor.

Yes. I understand.

Seo Geom moved and completely trusted him.

Do you see that?

Yes, such great

Seol Young clapped his hands a couple of times and glanced back. Seo Geom was moving farther from the procession.

But about Seo Geom-rang. Isnt he being strange?

Strange how?

His reaction. It just feels coldÑøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

The two of them didnt get along.

But the other Hwarangs are also being strange. It seems like they are hiding something.

You think so? What is there to hide?

It must be about his death. I heard he was killed by the demonic beast at that time, but is that really true?

Well.

Zahas brow furrowed slightly.

Come to think of it, I have only received reports about it. I didnt actually see the scene.

Is that so?

The conversation ended right there because they reached the capital. Outside the northern palace, Jin Rim and the officials of the Great Heavenly Pavilion were there.

They couldnt enter the palace with a monster in their hands, so they came out instead.

You have come?

Jin Rim greeted Zaha and looked at Seo Geom.

Then the two realized the situation and guided them inside.

What? Who is coming?

Seo Geoms uncle jumped out in shock the moment he met Seol Young in the middle of the yard.

He was surprised and embarrassed to the extent that his eyes looked like they would pop out.

He had focused on helping his nephew and teaching the Hwarangs, so he had never set foot outside this place.

He had only seen Seol Young again after seven years, but he recognized him right away.

This person.

He had a puzzled expression. He opened his mouth wide to say something, but Zaha quickly intercepted him.

Euljae.

Ah, yes, High Governor

Euljae exchanged glances with Zaha and then threw a look of doubt and confusion at his nephew.

Seo Geom avoided his gaze and ordered the others.

Tell everyone to gather in the basement of the training room.

Yes.

They carried the iron box and went into the training room in the basement. It was a place where they kept the demonic beings and Yokais that they had caught and observed.

Everyone in a circle.

At his command, everyone went around and held a chain with hooks in their hands.

Do not give it a chance.

In Seo Geoms words, everyone was nervous without knowing why. Inside the iron box, there was a thumping sound.

And the iron box was reaching its limit in its ability to restrain what was inside.

You need to catch it the moment it is opened.

After saying that, Seo Geom looked at Zaha.

Then please.

Zaha nodded as he stood at a distance and threw his sword.

The sword flew towards it and broke the lock. Then the chain that wrapped around it was undone.

Ah!

Came a scream.

The beast came out with a thump, breaking down the lid.

Its hair was scattered, and it prepared to attack by showing its long nails.

Catch it!

Everyone from the Blue Dragon troops threw chains with hooks. Some of the chains snapped, but they managed to catch it.

Kuak!

Immobilized, it screamed and struggled. They could glimpse a humans face beneath its scattered hair.

And at that moment, everyone was shocked.

That face?

It was only then that the beasts clothes became visible. It was torn and damaged, but it was the same blue robe they were wearing.

Seo Jun-rang!

Everyone was shocked.

A dead person came back to life as a monster that had lost its reason. Of course, they were surprised.

But is that all?

Seol Young looked at their reactions. He didnt miss this moment because of his instinct.

And as he thought, they werent just shocked.

A heavy silence fell.

There was a strangely uncomfortable and awkward atmosphere.

It couldnt be simply explained by the fact that Seo Jun and Seo Geom werent on good terms.

Look now. They are all hiding something.

There was definitely a secret hidden behind Seo Juns death. And he had to figure it out.

Seol Young turned to Zaha.
