Absolute Regression - Chapter 209

Episode 209: The religious leader has no intention of losing that bet.

The person my father wanted was the Poison King.

At the word poison king, the expressions of the mazons hardened slightly and looked at each other. Hyeolcheondoma sighed so that only I could hear. That means this job is not easy.

Indeed, like the reaction of the mazons, my father seemed to be convinced that the Poison King would never come forward.

“Can you do it?”

“I will try.”

The look in my father’s eyes when he looked at me was provocative.

Are you sure you can accomplish this? If you really accomplish this, I will admit it.

The father’s gaze turned to the Mazon.

The eyes did not contain any emotion, but I felt a subtle difference in those grave eyes.

The way he looked at the demon was different from the way he looked at the demon, and the way he looked at the evil soma was also different.

If you knew how much you respect your father, how good would it be if you gave Ilhwa Geomzon even just a little warm look in your eyes?

The last place my gaze rested on was Chuma. Chuma accepted his father’s gaze with calmer eyes than ever.

After communicating with the demons with his eyes, my father turned and walked toward the Cheonma Hall.

My Majons and I bowed our heads in respect.

What is your father thinking now? Will there come a day when I sit face to face with my father and hear his honest words that he felt this way and thought this way?

When my father left there, I bowed my head to the Magons.

“thank you.”

Ilhwa Geomzon said with an embarrassed face.

“There is no need to say hello to me. “I was forcibly taken by Chuma.”

“That was a big help too.”

“What do you mean?”

“If all five of us had pushed forward, even my father would have been very angry. However, Chwima and Geomzon senior must have softened their minds by acting as a buffer.”

Chuma joked for no reason.

“I’m screwed. “You’re drunk in front of the religious leader!”

Then, Ilhwageomjon took the liquor bottle hanging from his waist and drank it in one gulp.

“I said too many useless things in front of the religious leader.”

Chuma took the bottle and drank it.

“It’s because of this ugly friend.”

“You just need to know.”

I intervened in the conversation between the two people.

“No, you gathered together because of me, it’s because of me.”

I bowed my head politely to the Magons once again.

“I will repay you for what I did today over time. You have no idea how strong I feel because there are five of you. thank you. Since we’re all here today, I just want to say… Oh, wait a minute! I’ll keep it short. I’m not that talkative person. Let’s all get together and plan a plan to capture the Poison King…”

The five Mazons had already left in five different directions without even looking back.

“They do it so much!”

Since I didn’t have five people, I ran after one of them.

* * *

Of the five mazons, the one I chased after was Hyeolcheondoma.

Even though he was happy that I followed him, he was grumpy for no reason.

“Why aren’t you going after the evil Soma?”

“For me, the elderly are always the best.”

“For you, the worst is the worst?”

Hyeolcheon Doma relayed exactly what had happened earlier.

“Just now, Extreme Soma risked everything he had. The leader, me, and the magician. “I didn’t know he would go that far.”

I had no idea that Extreme Soma was this strong. Soma, I received that response correctly.

“I should have been there.”

“That’s why it was even more amazing. That I did that even when you weren’t around. “You can’t do that unless you truly like it.”

The Hyeolcheon chopping board at this moment is also amazing. I could have been secretly jealous of the relationship between me and Extreme Soma, but he was telling me everything as it was. They said it was great, it was great. So how can I not like this person?

“When on earth did we become this close?”

“I don’t know either. “Somehow we became friends.”

“friend? “What is the age difference? Are you friends?”

That’s right. How much more do I have? I have lived longer than the elderly.

“Isn’t there such a thing as friendship that transcends age?”

“I am thirsty for that great friendship. “Get some tea over there.”

I took the teapot from the table next to the bed and poured it for Hyeolcheondoma. It was heartbreaking to see his still skinny arms.

“Are you eating well these days?”

“Why are you suddenly telling me to eat?”

“For me, the health of the elderly is the most important. “What is important about the poison king and what is important about permission?”

“Sounds that are not even in my heart.”

Still, Hyeolcheondoma seemed to be in a good mood and drank the tea with a faint smile.

“You went to see your father first today, right?”

“It’s because I’m impatient. “Don’t attach importance to what went first.”

“It will have meaning. “He was the first to run for me!”

“Okay, honestly, I was trying to show off by saying I went first, but today I was completely defeated by the masked person.”

It seems that the masked man touched Hyeolcheondoma’s heart today.

“It seems like everyone’s effort was in vain.”

When he brought up the story of the Poison King, he sighed. The expressions on the other Mazon’s faces seemed to have similar feelings.

“Is it that hard to attract that person?”

“It would have been easier if I had told them to bring all Palmazons. If we held a Majon meeting and pushed for political cooperation, it could have been handled that way. However, by pointing out the poison king and asking him to bring him in, he was preventing it from being dealt with in that way. “The leader is secretly smart.”

“Do you know anything about the Poison King?”

“There is no personal relationship. The way I see it is that he is a person who has his own world and has strong self-esteem. I’m crazy about poison. “This is all I know.”

Hyecheondoma’s concern was not about that aspect of his personality, but rather it was here.

“Can you still be yourself in the face of the Poison King’s poison?”

Can I be myself in the face of the poison of the poison king?

I could see what he was worried about. There is a fundamental fear that poison gives. It was thought that he might die without even being able to fight properly, so along with the dead Seobhonmazon, the Poison King was the mazon that the Murim people were most reluctant to deal with.

“No matter how eloquent you are and how good you are at flattering, can you really be unstoppable in the face of a poisonous king? “He could poison you without notice and cause you to get sick and die a few years later.”

In fact, it may be the most outspoken. Unless the poison worked, at least he was the weakest of the Palmazons to me.

Rather, that’s why I’m worried.

The moment you touch his pride, it will forever be impossible to bring him before his father.

Before my return, when I returned to the main school to obtain Dafa materials, the Poison King had already died and the next Poison King was in the position of Mazon.

I know how he died. How many people did he take with him when he died?

As I was lost in thought for a moment, Hyeolcheondoma stared at me.

“Do you have a method in mind?”

“You know. “I must somehow learn from the old man the secret to making the poison king on my side.”

“If I use the method that is within me, I will become distant from even close people.”

At the same time, Hyeolcheondoma stared at me.

“If I had to give you some advice, it would be to do what you do best.”

“what is that?”

“The cult leader called it a cheap sentiment that is just right to die.”

When I heard that, I burst out laughing. It was surprising that my father and Hyeolcheondoma had a conversation like this. The fact that I expressed that expression to someone else is proof that my relationship with my father has become one step closer.

“Use it like you did with me and the other Mazon.”

Look at the other person directly and if you have something to say, say it without delay.

I treated people with these two beliefs. It is unclear whether it will work on the Poison King as well.

“I understand, old man.”

Hyeolcheondoma took something out of his arms and held it out to me. It was a top-quality poisonous liquor that I once gave as a birthday present.

“Take this too. “It’s been washed clean, so don’t say it’s dirty.”

I looked down at the poisoned drink in silence for a moment. This is the heart of Hyeolcheon Doma. That feeling keeps shaking my heart these days.

I took out two blood poisonous liquors from my arms and put them on both cheeks.

“I’ll go with my cheeks full like a squirrel! “Keep this with me, and if I get hit by the poison king, please take it with me and save me.”

“No work! “I will never go to that dirty poison pit.”

I won’t do something like that because I know I’ll be the first to come running.

“Rest. “I’ll just go.”

“Don’t push yourself too hard. “It may seem like a big deal with your fate at stake now, but in hindsight, it’s not that big of a deal.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

When I left Hyeolcheondoma’s residence, it was already dark.

When everyone is paying attention to me and watching what path I will take, there are times when the pressure to do well oppresses me.

At such times, there is someone who always comes to mind. Forget the poison king, forget your father’s permission. I walked slowly, guided by my instinct to find rest.

Ian was burying his efforts against time again today.

I could feel the maturity brought about by her hard work in the extraordinary Bicheon swordsmanship she practiced.

Chop rock.

The sword energy split into two in front of her chest. Although she was unable to share more due to lack of internal skills, she succeeded in using Yucheon style accurately.

Shhh. Hiss!

Two sword blades flew through the air and landed on the left and right sides of my face. Her sword is on the left and the sword-shaped sword is on the right.

She didn’t even know I was there because she was so focused on training, and now she’s throwing a tantrum at me.

“Now I can feel free to send him to the midfield. Come down now, Ian. “Don’t go around killing people too much.”

“I don’t like it, master. I will stay right next to you, Master, and live comfortably like this for the rest of my life. ah! But now that convenience is over.”

“Congratulations.”

“Did you hear? “Senior Cheongmyeon has finally joined Guiyoungdae as a leader.”

Her voice trembled. This would be a major event in her life, except for what had to do with me. Because the successor who will become the next Extreme Soma has become the leader of the organization he is the head of.

“How do you feel?”

“I’m nervous.”

“The most important thing is to believe in you. People know like ghosts. Oh, that guy doesn’t have the confidence to lead us. I was bored. “We will all be killed in the end.”

Ian sighed.

“I believe you. “I’m worried that my abilities will keep up.”

“If I don’t trust you, trust your tail.”

Then Ian raised his head and grinned.

“That’s somewhat believable.”

“Let’s listen, discuss, and start forming an organization in earnest. There is one principle. We create the best elite organization at our school. Look at your skills and personality. The goal is not to create a group of butchers with only good skills, but to create an elite organization that can be trusted. Fill it with people like Jang Ho and Inspector Seo. know?”

“yes!”

“From now on, having an eye for people is more important than eating herbivores. “It will save you.”

Ian’s life as the head of an organization begins from now on.

I talked to her about various things. Being with her made me feel at ease. The moon, which had seemed bleak until it came, was shining warmly on the world outside the window.

When I broke up with her, I didn’t forget my last prank. I endured all the side effects and became pretty with great difficulty, but since I am only training to meet, I should also say something.

“I thought you were the best in the world, but I guess you weren’t.”

For a moment, I was nervous as to what Ian was saying.

“You’ve become prettier than before you left school. “If you’re the most beautiful woman in the world, you can’t be prettier, right?”

I left her with a blushing face and left. Ian slept well tonight.

The next day, on my way to see the King of Poison, I stopped by Ma Yi.

He, who happened to be free because there were no patients, gave an unexpected expression.

“I see you often these days, Gongja Lee.”

“When I see Uiseon saving people’s lives, it somehow makes me feel good.”

How could Ma Yi not know that I came here on business?

“You never know when another patient may come in, so hurry up and tell me your business.”

“There’s something I’d like to ask Uiseon.”

“Say it.”

“Have you ever had any interaction with the Poison King?”

I asked pretending not to know, but I knew that the only person the Poison King interacts with is Ma Yi. This is one of the few pieces of information I know about the Poison King.

“Isn’t one person the one who saves people and the other one who kills people with poison? “I thought that polar opposites connect and maybe the two of you could share a friendship.”

“Why the Poison King?”

“There is something I want from my father, but he has set the condition that I must persuade the Poison King to bring it to him.”

Ma Yi shook his head.

“Then the cult leader has no intention of losing that bet.”

Ma Yi also didn’t think that the Poison King would be persuaded by me.

“I know that you are a great person. But it won’t be easy for the Poison King.”

“Do you have something to say to me?”

Ma Yi was silent for a moment. I guess I’m worried about how much I should tell the story between my friendship with the Poison King and my relationship with him.

“I have met many poisonous people in my life, but I have never seen anyone as serious about poison as the poison king. That’s how strong your pride is. “He believes that the only person he cannot kill with his own poison is the religious leader.”

This was also the reason why we should not carelessly reveal that we would never attack Germany. The moment you touch his pride and pride in the wrong way, things will go wrong.

“Wait a moment.”

The doctor left for a moment and brought a small vial.

“It’s the best cancellation I’ve ever had. “I’m not sure I can detoxify all of the Poison King’s poison, but it will help.”

I gave the contract back to him.

“Please use this medicine for other useful purposes.”

“Why but?”

“It is only possible for a poisonous king to punish me if he is risking his life to plan a rebellion. “At that time, we will use a poison that no solution will help.”

“You’re right.”

Ma Yi nodded.

“Then I’ll see you again.”

The reason I came to see Ma Yi was because he was the person who would be the biggest help in persuading the King of Poison in the future.

‘There will be something you can do to help me in the future. And it’s not just my job, it’s also for Dr. Ma.’

I was about to get up and leave when Ma Yi spoke for the last time.

“Do you know what the Poison King’s dream is? It’s about compiling all the poisons in this world and leaving them in a book. Even at this very moment, I am quietly conducting research on poison alone. Getting that person out of the lab will be key. “Because he has no interest in the world.”

The Poison King even lied to the only person he interacted with. His dream is not to compile the poison of the world.

He is a person who dreams of becoming the world’s most solemn person, who will bring down the martial arts world at his feet with his poison.

After leaving the room, I walked to the southwest of the temple. There was Cheondokrim (千毒林) where the poison king lived.
