Only I Have Two Towers Episode 209
Return of Life
How long had I been running on the iceberg?
Lights began to appear in the distance.
A small fishing village at the edge of Greenland.
I took out a mirror to check my appearance.
It was already getting dark.
If I suddenly appeared, I might be mistaken for a thief.
While I was wondering which house to approach,
A small boat came in from the direction of the sea.
An elderly couple getting off with a small lantern.
I could see recently used fishing rods and nets, but their hands were empty.
I approached while making as much noise as possible so I wouldn’t startle them.
“Hello.”
“Holy shit!”
Despite my efforts, Grandfather stumbled backward in shock.
I swallowed nervously.
Holy shit, he said.
It was my first time hearing Greenlandic, but somehow the meaning came across like that.
“Sorry. I wasn’t trying to sneak up on you.”
“You’re human, right? My goodness, nearly gave me a heart attack. Is our old lady okay?”
“Only you got scared, so stop talking nonsense. Where are you from, young man, to be soaking wet like this?”
“I came from Korea. I was wondering if there’s somewhere nearby to wash up, so I came here shamelessly.”
“You’ve come from far away. It’ll be a bit cold, but there are two outdoor hot springs. One for men, one for women.”
“That’s great. Could an outsider like me use them?”
“Of course. They’re natural, so who would dare say you can’t? Do you have clothes to change into?”
“Yes. They’re in my bag. Here, let me carry that for you.”
I took the luggage from Grandfather and Grandmother.
“Thank you. I was just thinking about throwing this damn thing away since we didn’t catch a single fish.”
“What do you mean throw it away, you old hag! It’s what our grandfather left us!”
“I was just saying. Let’s go home first. I’ll give you a cup of hot tea.”
“Yes.”
I followed the elderly couple.
Grandfather let out a deep sigh.
“Damn it, what do we have to do for the sea to dry up like this? Today we even heard fierce crying sounds from across the sea. My whole body froze – I have no idea what’s going on.”
“Have you lived here long?”
“My whole life. We’re descendants of the Inuit Tribe. Our ancestors have protected this place for generations.”
I looked around.
It’s a beautiful neighborhood that could appear in a fairy tale.
“Until recently we lived quite prosperously. I don’t know how it came to this.”
“Maybe it’s time to leave.”
“There you go again! I can’t abandon our ancestors’ land.”
“Then are we going to stay here and starve to death? Maybe those ancestors are giving us a signal to leave.”
Grandfather looked toward the distant mountains with a frustrated sigh.
Jinhyeok, reading the mood, carefully spoke up.
“Won’t the sea friends return soon?”
“That would be wonderful, but I don’t know if it’s possible. This has never happened before.”
“They’ll return soon.”
They didn’t leave because of pollution or other reasons.
It was purely to avoid a powerful predator.
Now that the predator is gone, they’ll return to their home.
“I hope so. Ah, we’re here. This is it. Thanks for carrying our things. Come inside and have some tea.”
“No, thank you. Even my shoes are completely soaked. I’ll go straight to the hot spring.”
“Then I feel too sorry.”
“Just telling me about the hot spring is enough to be grateful for. Which way should I go?”
“The men’s is this way. Women’s is that way.”
“Thank you! And.”
Jinhyeok gave a thumbs up.
“Just wait a little. They’ll return soon.”
The elderly couple looked at each other’s faces and smiled.
“Even just the words are appreciated. Stop by after you’re done washing. I’ll give you some dried fish.”
“Yes!”
Jinhyeok bowed his head and walked in the direction they indicated.
Grandfather, watching Jinhyeok’s retreating figure, spoke up.
“What a bright young man.”
“His energy is very clear and good too. We only talked briefly, but I feel much better.”
“Energy, what energy. Are you a fortune teller or something?”
“It’s cold, so let’s go inside. Stop your nonsense.”
Step. Step. Thud thud thud thud thud!
After confirming the door closed, Jinhyeok picked up speed.
He felt too grimy and wanted to wash quickly.
“Let’s split up here!”
He manifested Camilla, Ellia, and Seira.
Momo was already hanging around Seira’s neck.
From here there were signs, so they could find their way easily.
After waving goodbye, he ran hard following the arrows.
Steam came into view.
“It’s a hot spring! We need to get in quickly!”
After quickly washing at the simple shower facility at the entrance, he threw his body in.
Splash!
Water at just the right temperature enveloped his body.
“Gyaaah!”
Kancheo jumped out in shock.
It seemed a bit too hot for the Yodel friend.
“It’s lava!”
“It’s less hot over here. Just avoid where the bubbles are coming up.”
Kancheo avoided where the hot spring bubbled up and immersed his body.
“Very good! This is paradise!”
“Amazing.”
Renia and Dark, who manifested late, also immersed their bodies.
Seeing everyone submerged up to their necks, they seemed completely satisfied.
As expected of an outdoor hot spring.
Face cool, body warm below – it’s fantastic.
I tilted my head back.
“Wow.”
An incredible sight unfolded before my eyes.
A cluster of stars filling the sky without a single empty spot.
There seemed to be more stars than black background.
“So pretty!”
“Indeed.”
fiddling with his pointed ears while drawing a smile.
To be able to stargaze along with a hot spring close to paradise.
Really an unbelievable outdoor bath… Huh?
Jinhyeok’s eyes widened.
“Wooooh!”
Kancheo raised his voice.
Pastel-colored waves crossing the dark night sky.
Those waves mixed with the stars, creating a spectacular sight.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen an aurora.”
“Oh? Dark, you’ve seen auroras before?”
“I often saw them in Frostheim. They called it a song for dead angels.”
He seems displeased about something.
Renia staring intently at Dark.
“What’s with that unsuitable sentiment?”
“It’s something my childhood friend said.”
“Say that kind of thing quickly. I almost got disgusted.”
“How strange. You’re only almost getting disgusted now. I’ve been feeling disgusted since earlier.”
The two people bickering relentlessly as usual today.
Jinhyeok quickly stepped in to mediate.
It would be too wasteful to fight over this spectacle and hot spring.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
“Huh?”
He opened his bag.
It seems communication has returned.
The phone ringing incessantly.
“Ugh.”
He decided to skip over the piled-up KakaoTalk messages and missed calls for now.
He sent a message to Black Wings.
His business here was finished.
Now it was time to return and do the tower climbing he had postponed.
Two or three hours later.
The elderly couple left their house.
The Korean young man who went to the hot spring a while ago but hasn’t returned.
They were wondering if a polar bear had appeared and were about to go check.
“Hm?”
Just as they were about to take a step.
A large package placed in front of the door caught their eye.
# Thank you for telling me about the hot spring! It was heaven!
An enormous amount of food that poured out as soon as they untied it.
Judging by the Korean writing, it seemed to be Korean specialty products.
There was so much that it would take quite a while for the two of them to eat it all.
“What’s that now.”
A pitch-black ship moving away from the coast.
It was a state-of-the-art model rarely seen in these parts.
The elderly couple walked to the dock and gazed at the ship side by side.
He could have at least had some tea before leaving, what’s the rush!
“Let’s go inside. It’s cold too.”
“Let’s do that.”
Just as they shrugged and were about to turn around.
A splashing sound reached their ears.
Before they could turn around, the elderly couple fell on their bottoms.
Unlike before, this time the grandmother was with them too.
“Oh my…”
An enormous number of fish schools and dolphin pods swimming in the sea.
They had lived their entire lives, but this was the first time seeing such a sight.
The grandfather rubbed his eyes.
Perhaps because it was under the beautiful aurora.
He couldn’t tell if this was a dream or reality.
The elderly couple, who had been staring in a daze, now looked at the ship that had become a small dot, where the young man from Korea would be riding.
-I’ll be back soon.
The words the young man had said echoed in their heads.
They thought he was just a positive and bright young man trying to cheer up the elderly.
But thinking about it again, that wasn’t it.
That was conviction.
Strong conviction that it would definitely happen that way.
How on earth did he know?
“He was an angel.”
The grandfather muttered quietly while alternately looking at the aurora and the sea.
The ancestors of the Inuit had said.
That auroras were traces of angels descending from heaven.
“That’s right. An angel had visited us.”
The grandmother, who would normally have told him to stop talking nonsense, nodded her head this time.
The elderly couple remained in that state, gazing at the sky and sea for quite a while.
The elderly couple smiled.
They probably wouldn’t forget.
Tonight. For their entire lives.
A small airport located in the outskirts of Greenland.
Jinhyeok, who had boarded his private jet Sky Palace, took a deep breath.
Mmm! It feels like coming home.
“Good, good.”
He buried himself in the chair and took out his tablet.
Captain Dominic had told him on the way.
That Iceland was turned upside down because of Admiral Robion’s unilateral decision.
‘Was it that ship that was fleeing earlier?’
One ship that had passed by on the way to Ilulissat.
He must have been on board that ship.
# Robion drove national talent into a death trap with wrong judgment.
# Estimated that more than 10 players died.
# What is Admiral Robion hiding?
Articles pouring out as soon as he searched for Iceland.
Every article headline contained the name Robion.
There was also a lot of content saying that Iceland’s already low national defense ranking would drop further.
# The admiral and his aide are claiming there was a dragon. However, no traces could be found in Ilulissat, so it’s presumed to be a lie.
He swallowed dry saliva.
Of course they couldn’t find anything.
Our Teacher Daemomo had collected everything without leaving even a handful behind.
What used to be the black dragon Drachan was enshrined in the infinite warehouse in a frozen state.
# The Government of Iceland also dismissed it as an absurd claim. Admiral Robion seems unable to escape responsibility.
He nodded his head.
In a way, it was a natural response.
Iceland would want to deny it as much as possible.
The connection between Robion’s blunder and the marine ecosystem that had been destroyed.
‘Geez, I told them not to bring it up.’
He clicked his tongue and put down the tablet.
And leaned back his head.
On the way back, he had sent a KakaoTalk message to Jin Yun-ho.
Telling him not to worry since everything was fine.
That he was just temporarily postponing his climb due to lack of holy-type weapons.
Hehe!
He rubbed his hands together while lifting the corners of his mouth.
A reply came saying they’d even open the director-level storage, so take whatever he wanted.
His heart was already racing thinking about what to grab.
He turned his eyes to the clock.
Just before midnight.
Soon another ticket would be added to the ticket storage… Ding!
‘Huh?’
He opened his closed eyes.
What’s with the sudden notification sound?
[The day has changed!]
[It’s Yodel Ranger Unit Captain Kancheo’s birthday!]
[Promotion Quest begins!]
[The 16th Floor of the Mythic Tower will be changed to the World of Toys!]
[With the Tower’s transformation, existing entry conditions are removed! You can enter immediately!]
