[Storybook] Tale of Bihyung

Chapter 7: Behind the Mask As the traveler and Dolswe prepared to embark on their journey, the healer approached them with a letter to the Ministry of Culture requesting more staff. Taking up the healer's request, the traveler and Dolswe set off towards the Ministry. Upon arrival, they stumbled upon a scene shrouded in suspicion. There, they witnessed Minister Kim Geumryun burning a letter. "...offered Cheoyong's mask to the Great Tree of Goddess Samsin and held a ritual." The rest of the message was charred beyond recognition. However, the sight of Kim Geumryun incinerating such a document could not be ignored. Determined to uncover the truth, the traveler and Dolswe decided to shadow him. Their pursuit led them to a shocking revelation. "Heh. Hehehe. Muhahaha! Not only do we spread the disease, but we also release the cure to win people's favor... Brilliant!" Egads! Bihyung was not merely a healer. He first sowed the seeds of illness, only to cure them and gain the people's trust! This was all to rally those who opposed the Crown Prince's ascension. With newfound determination, the traveler and Dolswe gathered clues from Bihyung's abode and sought counsel from Hong Gildong. If anyone knew the depths of Bihyung's machinations, it would be his former mentor.
