Yeon-woo smirked . He didn’t need to leave the 11th floor for the time being because of the war, but there was a big difference between cleaning it and not clearing it .
Yeon-woo stroked Chirpy, who was blatantly staring at him .
“No, thank you . You might be bringing good fortune to me . ”
Chirpy bounced under Yeon-woo’s hand like he was happy Yeon-woo said that .
[No . I’m still thankful to you . ]
“Ok, then let’s say that after we catch the Saber God . ”
[Ok ok! I’ll do that . ]
Chirpy nodded his head . Since he was stronger, he wanted to start doing things now . He slowly came down and sat on Yeon-woo’s shoulder . His claws digged into Yeon-woo, but strangely, it didn’t hurt .
“Then let’s go back now . We have a lot of things to do . ”
[Sure . ]
But when Yeon-woo was about to turn back .
[But Master . ]
Chirpy called him again .
“Hm?”
[Can I request something of you before that?]
Yeon-woo tilted his head .
Chirpy asked in a desperate voice .
[Can you change my name?]
‘Why isn’t he coming yet?’
As Yeon-woo didn’t come back, . Edora became worried . She thought maybe the Saber God and Madodan had taken her . But she couldn’t hear any sounds of anything, so patiently waited, thinking something else was holding him back .
If he didn’t come back in 10 minutes, she was going to go look for Yeon-woo . Thankfully, Yeon-woo came back . With a falcon that she saw for the first time .
“Oraboni, who’s that?”
“Chirpy . ”
[Tsk . I said to change the name . Unfair . ]
The falcon complained, but Edora couldn’t hear properly .
“What?”
Edora’s eyes became bigger . This bird was that tiny baby Phoenix?
It was a size incomparable to before .
And an aura that could hunt most superior Mythical Beasts could be felt from him .
[I said to give me another name . ]
But Chirpy continued to complain like something really wasn’t to his liking .
Edora awkwardly smiled . She thought Chirpy was a bit unfair too . But Yeon-woo just turned away like he wasn’t going to listen to Chirpy .
“Let’s go back to Kuram . ”
Edora and Yeon-woo sped back to Kuram . When they saw the ruined castle walls, Yeon-woo asked Edora once more .
“Edora . ”
“Yes . ”
“I’m thankful for everything you’ve done up to here . So go back now . ”
“What are you talking about?”
Edora whipped her head back at Yeon-woo . But Yeon-woo just looked forward with an indifferent look .
“I’m going to be fighting against Cheonghwado, it could also be against the One-horned tribe . I don’t think it’s right to pull you in that fight . ”

Edora pushed her lips together . And after a short silence, she spoke again .
“You don’t really not know the reason why I’m following you…right?”
At this, Yeon-woo shut his mouth . Only fools wouldn’t know why she was being so forward . He had some dating experience, so he knew what the expression in her face meant .
But Yeon-woo had never thought of her like that . Just a close friend or little sister . So he was pretending he didn’t know . But Edora was bringing it up . After an uncomfortable silence .
[Are the two of you gonna mate?]
Chirpy broke the atmosphere . Edora whipped her head at Chirpy and Yeon-woo glared at Chirpy .
“Where did you learn that?”
[Hm? Mom told me . That there are things a male and female does! That I’ll do it when I find my mate!]
Yeon-woo grabbed his face . He didn’t know why he was talking about this with a teenage bird . But thanks to Chirpy, the awkward silence was broken . And once they arrived at Kuram . Yeon-woo was able to see . The crowds going into the ruined castle walls . A waving flag in the middle of it . Cheonghwado .
“Were we supposed to meet with Cheonghwado today?”
Yeon-woo frowned .
Edora realized something and nodded her head .
“They did say Uncle was coming today… . ”
“Sword God?”
“Yes . ”
“Is that so?”
Yeon-woo nodded his head . It was weird that the One-horned tribe didn’t have that many meetings with Cheonghwado yet .
‘If I could observe the Sword God before I leave, that’ll be nice . ’
Yeon-woo waved his arm at Edora, who was looking at him with a worried look, and passed by the castle walls . There were crowds of people bustling . It wasn’t hard to tell who was from where . Cheonghwado wore blue armor, and the tribe members were wearing their traditional clothes . The tribe members all had stiff faces .
But when they made eye contact with a Cheonghwado member, they would snort or let out a cold laugh . Cheonghwado didn’t react to that because they received orders not to make trouble with their alliance . But the tribe became madder that they didn’t react .

From this, Yeon-woo was able to feel the arrogance of the tribe that he had not known because he was with Phante and Edora .
“Hm? My Lady and Cain-nim, you’ve arrived?”
Yanu ran towards them with a bright face and the Cheonghwado players gaze followed him with surprised looks in their eyes . They didn’t expect to see the Hoarder and next Psychic Medium . Some looked at Yeon-woo sharply . Now Yeon-woo wasn’t infamous just on the 11th floor, but Cheonghwado and Red Dragon knew of him .
Not only had he broken the alliance between clans himself, rumors that he had killed Shanon were spreading . People said the Martial King and the tribe had helped him, but it was still shocking that a novice had defeated a semi ranker . That meant a new guy with potential had appeared .
Also, the fact that Yeon-woo was the Martial King’s third disciple was known as well . The players had been ordered to find out more about Yeon-woo .
But Yeon-woo ignored them all and asked Yanu .
“Is Seseungnim inside?”
“He’s conversing with guests… . oh, here he comes . ”
Yanu nodded his head towards the people coming out of the fortress and the rest of the Cheonghwado players all bowed .
About 30 people left the fortress . One of those people was easily noticeable . A height of 3 meters . The horn and purple eyes showed that he was from the tribe .
‘Sword God . ’
Individually, the strongest is the Saber God, but the Sword God is tricky . He has the physique of the One-horned tribe, and his sword is unbreakable . A few of my comrades had a difficult time dealing with him too .
People considered the Sword God second most powerful in Cheonghwado, and he was truly strong enough to defeat many high rankers .
He had the aura to scare people, but Yeon-woo was used to it after spending time with the Martial King .
The Sword God read Yeon-woo’s attitude and stroked his chin .
“Hoho . ”
An reaction of many meanings . The players that followed him had surprised eyes . The Sword God rarely took an interest in people .
Yeon-woo just lightly paid respects to the Sword God and passed by .
“Hyungnim has picked up something good again . How he gets such people, it beats me . I’m jealous . ”
Looking at Yeon-woo, who was disappearing inside the fortress, the Sword God curled his lips up .

The Martial King sniggered at Yeon-woo when he came in .
“Did you eat something good? Why? Hm? You don’t offer it to your godly teacher and eat it yourself?”
Yeon-woo tried to hide it as much as possible, but the Martial King was still able to tell . He tsked his tongue . The Martial King truly was a person that you couldn’t hide things from .
“But why do you have such a serious look? Like you’re about to die . Do you have something to say?”
After his younger brother left with words like ‘We’re able to relax a bit because of you’ and ‘I hope you continue to help us in the future,’ he felt like punching him .
But after seeing Yeon-woo those feelings disappeared . He felt like he was about to do something mischievous again . He couldn’t see Yeon-woo’s face because of the mask, but his eyes were quite serious . It was the look he had when he first started learning Mugong .
“I’ve come to tell you I’m sorry . ”
“Sorry? Did you do something?”
“I want to stop being a guest of the One-horned tribe . ”
At that, the Martial King’s joking manner disappeared . His serious face made him seem like someone else . And as a corner of his lip twitcher, a murderous aura swept around Yeon-woo . Yeon-woo’s eyes shook behind the mask . The Martial King bared his teeth like he was a dangerous beast .
“You’ve got everything you need, so you’re going to leave now that it’s getting dangerous, is that it?”
“No, sir . ”
“Then what? Does our tribe seem like the neighborhood playground where you can come and leave when you want?”
“That is also not it . ”
“Then?”
Yeon-woo momentarily thought it might be okay to tell the Martial King .
Unlike Edora or Phante, there were so many things he didn’t know about the Martial King . Actually, it was hard to know . Exactly what was hiding behind his smile . It was too hard to read the Martial King’s emotions .
So he was hesitating .
