CHAPTER 51 - Relics

Start from the beginning
                                    

Since many constellations were determined by the history of their lives, Yoo Sangah who knew history would be useful in many ways in this scenario.

Yoo Sangah suddenly clapped.
“Ah, that reminds me of a place.”

“Huh?”

“I’m not sure if I’m remembering correctly but… there will probably be Gwangsengmyo Shrine near here.”

“Gwangsengmyo?”

“Yes, it is on the way and the power of a great person might be there. He isn’t South Korean but…”

Not South Korean? I was a reader of Ways of Survival and I had never heard of Gwangsengmyo.

In any case, we decided to move according to Yoo Sangah. We walked for a while.
The first one who screamed was Lee Sungkook. “Eh, is that it?”

There really was an old shrine nearby. The Gwangsengmyo shrine. There was a place like this in the middle of the city?

I read the description and was even more surprised. Huh, it was this person? It was an unexpected figure.

It was a shrine for one of the best Chinese god of war.

Yoo Sangah asked with a tense expression.
“Now what…?”

I looked around. An idol couldn’t be seen.
“Let’s pray.”

This was different from Samyeongdang. I wouldn’t always be able to get a good reward for destroying the idol.

We collected water from the shrine and prayed quietly. Some time passed. Then a system message was heard.

[This shrine has been neglected for a long time.]

[A constellation who loves gaundaos is pleased.]

[A constellation who loves gundaos has revealed his modifier.]

[The constellation ‘Lord of the Beautiful Beard, Marquis Zhuangmou’ has blessed you.]

Lord of the Beautiful Beard, Marquis Zhuangmou. He was Chinese but he was a great person almost everyone in South Korean knew.

It was because this constellation was Guan Yu from Romance of the Three  Kingdoms.
[The constellation’s blessing increases your strength and physique by 5 for the next 24 hours.]

Lee Sungkook turned rosy like a flower.
“Crazy… Representative-nim, isn’t this a complete jackpot?”

“It is a decent start.”

I didn’t know why there was a shrine for Guan Yu in Seoul but it shouldn’t be strange when there was a shrine for the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare in Japan. Guan Yu was world famous, just like the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare.

“I guess it is hard to get an item from here.”

“It would’ve been nice to get something like a guandao…”

He was a great person of China. Even if there was an idol, it didn’t mean a good item would appear in South Korea. It was more likely that an incarnation of China had obtained it…

He couldn’t be compared to the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven or Uriel, but he wouldn’t lose when it came to the Chinese constellations.

“Did you see that?” I heard the CRSF members whispering.

“If we make a temple for Our Godly Idols and pray like that, will we also get a blessing from them?” Another member said while nodding her head.

“What a foolish question! If we able to saw them is already a blessing in our lives. Just look at their wonderful appearance! Oh...they are too dreamy.” Another member said with a drunk expression.

As I looked at the direction that they are looking.

I saw a child around 12-13 years old with light grey hair and purple eyes talking to his group and pointing at another direction.
Lee Gilyoung grabbed my collar.

“Hyung.”

The cockroach’s antennae was moving wildly. I had a bad hunch and saw a group walking in the distance. There were approximately 50 people.

Eh!!! Did he know about their approached before Lee Gilyoung able to know about them!?

I used Calm Observation and saw that their average physical body stats were around level 40. It was lacking compared to the apostles, but it was still enough to call them elites.

A warlord with 50 elites.

Lee Sungkook muttered, “That armour, somewhere…”

The historical clothing reminded me of a museum gallery. I looked at the members and they were all handsome men.

But after looking back at that Otherworlder Group, for some reason I feel that they become less handsome than before.

Lee Sungkook muttered, “Isn’t that Hwang Sungmin in the first row? He seems to be an entertainer?”

Anyone who saw it would think it was a historical drama filming but bloodthirst was coming from them. A man came forward and pointed his spear towards me.

“Who is blocking the way of the king?”

“Who are you?”

I guessed but I still asked. I thought I would meet this person later but the timing was faster than expected. Besides their bloodthirsty was weaker than the crazy cultists stan that are with me.

A woman’s voice was heard from among the group of men.

“That brown flag… are you also a king?”

“…So what?”

“I didn’t think there would be a king in Jung-gu. It is amazing.”

Her voice was like petals blowing in the spring breeze. It was a stage voice.

I replied, “Kings are now common in this world.”

“A king might be common but not just anyone can become king. Everyone, open the path!”

The retainers moved in unison and a woman dressed in a royal costume appeared in the centre of the ranks. Her hair was raised in an elegant manner. She was a stunning beauty that could easily be the heroine of a historical drama.

“A-Are you Min Jiwon?”

Lee Sungkook stuttered. The woman laughed.

“You recognize me?”

“I am a fan!”

Lee Sungkook stepped forward in a spellbound manner. Fool. The Hypnotist was being bewitched first?

[The exclusive skill ‘Permanent Lv. 2’ is activated.]

I used it the moment I met Lee Sungkook’s eyes.

“I-I-I’m sorry.”

“Is she someone famous?” A rude comment comes from behind, luckily it was a small voices.

The woman’s eyes narrowed.

By the way, it was interesting. Lee Sungkook recognized the name Min Jiwon like she was a person who actually existed.

…One of the Seven Kings of Seoul, the King of Beauty was a real person?

I felt a bit strange. It was because the real name of the King of Beauty in Ways of Survival was ‘Min Jiwon’.

Was it just a coincidence? I should check it out.

[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated.]

Fortunately, the skill was activated safely.
