Chapter 769: The Last (2)

I opened my eyes.

As I slowly got up, I saw familiar scenery.

“Guild Master?”

I heard someone’s voice, and I moved right away.

-The Saint of Light, Son of Benignore, and my friend will be with us as the light that illuminates the continent. In our hearts… he will remain forever.

There was a sound leaking through the Goddess’s Mirror, but it disappeared soon enough.

It didn’t take long before the interior of the Guild House, which had been noisy for a moment, became quiet.

I could see an empty space. There was no sound, and nothing was visible.

The space filled with silence seemed darker. After slowly standing in front of the door, I knocked.

‘Come on in.’

I entered despite no one responding. I sat in a chair quietly and looked at the room, then shook my head.

‘What is it?’

After walking around the room for a while, I stood up, but I still couldn’t hear any voices. I stroked the books on the desk.

He was reading them.

He was always here to do his work or read a book. When he had nothing to do, he would bring his alchemy kit and do experiments, the types I couldn’t quite understand. Sometimes, he would pass the time sitting quietly. I remembered he even ate here when he was in a hurry.

It was a place where many traces of him had remained.

He also seemed to enjoy spending time here. I looked around the room for a while, but I still couldn’t hear any voices.

‘Ah, yes. I was… just about to eat. You came at the right time.’

As I moved again, the table came into my eyes. Thinking about what food could be done easily, I quickly reached into the food storage warehouse.

‘It’s good.’

I thought a simple fish dish would be okay. I remembered that he liked it the most.

‘Wine would be fine too.’

I didn’t hear a voice, but I nodded.

After placing the two plates on the table, I pushed the food into my mouth.

I couldn’t taste anything. What I had made before was much better.

After drinking the wine a bit, I moved once again.

I didn’t even know where I was heading, but I thought it was better for me to walk. It would be nice to look around the guild.

As I opened another door and stepped outside, the training ground became visible.

In fact, he didn’t come down here often. He would come out on the terrace, sipping coffee quietly, looking down at the guild members training, but he didn’t step on it.

Come to think of it. I didn’t think he liked to move his body. I hoped he could do some physical training as well, but he often got exhausted fast, perhaps because his body was weak by nature.

He took a rough breath and quietly laughed, saying that he didn’t seem to fit well and that it was too hard.

I smiled bitterly, grabbed the sword, and swung it, but quickly lost interest.

They occasionally held a party here. It was a guild house with a separate banquet hall, but there were many cases where they gathered together to drink beer and chatted after training.

It seemed that the seat was naturally created in a noisy atmosphere, but when I thought about it again, it seemed that it wasn’t.

As he had looked down on his training, he talked to the guild staff. A simple table had been made along with seats, and when it was ready, he quietly came down to talk.

‘You worked hard today, Deokgu. Hyunsung also… worked hard.’

“I…”

Whenever we talked and laughed happily, a lot of time often passed so quickly that I felt a little regrettable and strange.

I was worried that it would interfere with the schedule for the next day, but I remembered that I enjoyed the gathering at the time.

In fact, some did not appear at the training ground the next day. However, he always came out at the same time to drink coffee and read the newspaper.

If our eyes met for a moment, he would raise his hand and quietly nod to greet me.

Sometimes he was with Hayan. I couldn’t really hear what they were talking about, but I’d seen him laughing out loud quite a few times.

Even guests with personal acquaintances seemed to have spent time with him there. There were a lot of members of the State, members of Castle Rock, Catherine, and the Church that visited him.

Whenever he held a large tea party, the terrace was always bustling.

At that time, the guild members who were training below were quietly working on training or entering indoor training grounds. That was because they were worried that they would interfere with the event.

Still, he spent most of the time here. Perhaps everyone did. We didn’t talk to each other, but it seemed that everyone thought the same thing. The sound of him talking quietly with several people, the sound of music and laughter that gently resonated, the occasional sound of birds, or the sound of loud noise whenever something happened made my mind strangely comfortable.

I didn’t know what to say exactly, but it was probably because I realized how peaceful it was.

I felt like ‘my daily life began, and it’s amazing.’

Of course, there were times when I was invited to the party. No, in fact, most of the time I was invited, but I didn’t go. I thought I might kill the mood.

I wondered about whether I might make a mistake or make them uncomfortable, but attending was much better now that I reconsidered it. I had to attend.

‘That’s what I said. Didn’t I say that it would be good to build up friendships with several people?’

“…”

‘I heard that in a few weeks, Marlin Young-ae’s birthday would come. Maybe in this place…’

“Yeah.”

After quietly nodding my head, I went inside again. I heard someone calling, but I did not stop and moved on instead.

After sitting in the conference room for a while and then getting up, I went up to the desk and laid myself down. I knew it was funny, but I didn’t care about it much.

As I quietly turned my head to the side, an empty space came into sight once more.

‘Today’s meeting…’

No voice was heard in reply, but I still nodded.

‘The expedition will be in a few days. Can manager Kim Miyoung once again brief…’

It seemed that he was always smiling whenever manager Kim Miyoung talked in front of everyone. No, he was happy no matter who talked.

He smiled as if he felt good even when a serious meeting deviated from the main subject for a useless joke. There were times when he seemed uncomfortable, but he seemed to be laughing most of the time.

‘Do you have anything to say, Hyunsung?’

“No. I am… Yeah… fine.”

‘Then, it would be better to end today’s meeting. Shall we have a cup of coffee?’

I took another step. I wasn’t sure where exactly I was going, but I continued to walk onwards.

Library.

Warehouse.

Griffon’s hutch.

Workshop.

Banquet hall.

As I moved slowly and looked up, I saw the red sky. I couldn’t hear any voice, but I kept going forward.

As I stepped up on the roof of the Guild House, I caught a glance of Lindel’s scenery.

I couldn’t believe that a war had taken place over it. Lindel’s landscape was no different from before.

The Guild House of the Red mercenary and Black Swan could be seen from far away, as well as the Lindel Square, which the adventurers created. The large fountain. Although it wasn’t huge, the auction house was also visible. His favorite restaurants and cafes remained the same.

It was always a bustling square, but it was quiet that day. No sound could be heard.

As I quietly looked at the sky, which was getting redder. The day was coming.

‘It’s beautiful.’

“Yeah. It is beautiful.”

‘I’m glad I got to keep my promise.’

“Promise…”

‘To be together again someday…’

“Yeah… Together again…”

That day, that view was especially beautiful. Just looking at the sky starting to change little by little made me smile.

As I quietly looked to the side, I could see him nodding. However, as soon as I blinked, he disappeared. In his stead was a randomly placed sword.

“Together again.”

I slowly lifted it.

I moved my gaze up, noticing that the sky painting the red landscape was shining on the world.

Maybe he was the one shining over us. That had to be it.

There was a cool touch on my neck. My arms became tense, and I drew my sword toward it.

However, nothing happened.

My body didn’t move before the force was properly applied, and the blade penetrated the throat.
