Chapter: 155

‘Huh?’

Yeowun then noticed the place where he bowed at the front of the pillar sank in the middle and liquid seeped out from it. He tasted it with his finger and found out that it was oil.

‘Is it made for fire?’

The pillar had a mechanism to burn itself when its duty was complete. The oil was to be wet when it sent down those stones so that the internal energy would be able to light it on fire.

‘...Hmph. I got it anyway.’

He was lucky at least. Yeowun realized it was easy to get these stones too late, but could now destroy it.

‘Now it will be easy to erase those holes on the pillar.’

Yeowun then walked over and picked up one of the stones to destroy it.

“Huh?”

He then became confused.

‘What is this?’

There was something engraved on the other side of the stone. Yeowun looked down at it, and saw weird lines on it, unsure of what it meant. Those lines were hidden from sight.

‘This is strange...’

Yeowun then looked over at the other stones.

“Huh? This one has it too.”

The other stones also had weird lines etched onto them, but they all had different shapes from one another.

‘What is it? Why are there lines on the back of the stones?’

Yeowun then gathered every stone and gathered them in one place. He then turned them backward to show the strange lines.

“Hm...”

Yeowun moaned. He stared at it, hoping to find anything that might be hidden behind it, but the lines just looked like doodles.

‘What are these?’

It was really strange. But nothing left by Father Chun was there without reason, so there had to be a message.

‘It’s not made with a sword at least.’

The lines were too crooked to be made with a sword. Then what were these things trying to say? After looking at it for a long time, Yeowun narrowed his eyes.

“Hmm?”

Yeowun got up and looked down at it from the top. He then sat down and made the stones face each other. After putting them together, he got up and looked down again.

“OH!”

He then realized that the lines seemed to form some kind of map. The lines didn’t match up yet, but he was certain that it was a map.

‘I need to order it right.’

Yeowun then sat down and began matching the lines. After moving from stone to stone for over an hour, Yeowun finally completed it.
