Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 288
Episode 287
“Lord Jang-! Lord Jang-!”
Jang Sam-tae rushed home in a huff, quickly opened the front door, and went inside.
Jump up!
The open door made a violent sound as if it would break at any moment, but that didn’t seem to be a problem to Jang Sam-tae at all.
He gasped and looked inside.
People who should be there are not visible. Sadohak and Namgungcheon were sitting there playing baduk, but Danwoohyeon was not there.
Jang Sam-tae, who was sick and tired, began to tremble.
“Why are you doing that?”
Namgungcheon saw that and asked.
How could it not be funny to see someone come in unexpectedly and tremble as if they had seen something they shouldn’t have seen?
At that question, Jang Sam-tae swallowed his saliva.
“Now… where has Lord Jang gone?”
“Yes? Now that I think about it,
it’s been a while since I said I was going to a back yard…”
“Huh…?”
Jang Sam-tae’s breathing became a little rough.
“Are you here?”
Then I heard a familiar voice.
It was the voice of Danwoo-hyeon, who was walking from the back yard.
He was dressed the same as usual and his expression was no different. The moment he saw it, Jang Sam-tae sighed in relief, but he opened his mouth out of some uneasiness.
“Where have you been?”
“In the back.”
“…Is that true?”
“Is that so?”
Dan Woo-hyeon said with a sincere expression.
“Look right in my face!”
“okay.”
“Is this really a back yard?”
“How many times do I have to tell the same story before my senses are resolved?”
Jang Sam-tae suddenly opened his eyes.
‘Isn’t it really true?’
However, their backs looked so similar that it was impossible to see them as different people.
No matter how much of a mask you wore, you would recognize it right away.
“Hehe, what’s going on?”
“No… I was wondering if Lord Jang was participating in the competition.”
“you idiot! Why are we participating in such a third-rate competition? And if we were going out, would you have put masks on you?”
Sadohak glared at him with a puzzled expression.
It’s not even anyone else, it’s Dan Woohyun.
Is it possible for someone who has already reached heavenly heights to get involved in a competition that resembles a children’s fight?
In addition, Kwon Mu-jin was given a gentleman’s sword and Jang Sam-tae was given a Macheongun mask to compete.
In fact, those are the two things that King Yeongchin believes in.
So, if Dan Woo-hyeon had gone out, Namgung Cheon or Sadohak would have come out directly without putting a mask on others.
“But he really looked like Lord Jang!”
“Hehe Dan Jangju. “Did you really participate in that competition?”
“You’re not saying anything funny.”
Woo-hyeon looked at Jang Sam-tae as if it was truly absurd. The expression on his face that said he was sick of it didn’t seem like he was lying.
Jang Sam-tae groaned.
Is it really someone else?
But his actions and overall atmosphere were clearly Dan Woohyun!
“…I guess I was mistaken. ha ha ha. Yes? There’s no way our Lord Jang would go out there like that, right?”
“Yeah, I thought wrong.”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded and passed by Jang Sam-tae. Without even realizing it, I looked at Dan Woo-hyeon’s fist and saw a drop of red blood splattered on it.
Creepy-!
Jang Sam-tae looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a creepy expression.
Dan Woo-hyeon realized that gaze! He made a small noise.
“It’s because a wild boar appeared in the back yard.”
“Where is the… boar…?”
“I threw it away.”
“…Where?”
“Well… I’m not sure.”
Jang Sam-tae looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with an expression at a loss for words.
The moment I saw him passing by with a smile on my face, I started to genuinely worry about my future.
Two days later, the finals of the Moorim Competition opened with cheers.
The king’s royal family began to gather one after another at the convention hall, which was prepared to be several times larger than usual, and countless police officers and reasonably skilled guards camped out in all directions around them to guard them.
Since they put a lot of effort into this competition, they probably want to finish it successfully.
This is especially true from the perspective of Geumwangbu.
“Hahaha, it’s worth opening it up big. “Isn’t that right?”
King Yeongchin smiled softly at the words he heard.
The reason why so many people were gathered was with the intention of embarrassing King Yeongchin in front of everyone.
It wasn’t true because there was no way he didn’t know that, but since he couldn’t swear openly, he had to at least give a shy smile.
“I heard that one of the Agyang Shinheungsae was appointed as the representative of the royal family…?”
“Well… that’s right. “It’s called Honam Danga, and they’re quite skilled.”
King Yeongchin answered with an awkward smile. That’s why I felt a little uneasy because it wasn’t as influential as the Eight Great Families.
Wangya of Geumwangbu burst out laughing.
It seemed like they were laughing at me, so I frowned without realizing it.
“It’s okay, Dad! “I’m sure we will win this time!”
“Hahaha, since you’re talking like that, I’ll have to take a look.”
“Ha… Haha….”
King Yeongchin had a hard time suppressing his anger as he listened to Geumwangbu Wangya speak in a relaxed manner.
‘I’ll make sure to press it this time!’ He made that promise and prayed for the victory of the Honam Danga.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that people could literally form mountains and seas.
Dan So-mi, seeing so many people for the first time in her life, also couldn’t hide her surprise and her eyes sparkled.
“see! “There are so many people.”
“Hehe, that’s really true.”
Namgung-cheon and Sadohak, who entered the venue and sat down, smiled as they looked at the crowd of people gathered together. Even though I wore bamboo lipstick because I didn’t want others to see my face, it seemed like they were attracting more people’s attention.
“Can you see in front of those humans?”
“It must be really frustrating.” Whispering voices were heard everywhere.
The two old men smiled awkwardly, as if they thought they had used it for no reason.
However, it was an inevitable choice because I could not show my bare face in front of so many warriors.
“But I can’t see my dad.”
“It will come a little later. “Didn’t you say you were going somewhere?”
“Yes…”
Dansomi nodded with somewhat slumped shoulders.
It seems like it’s already half past half past since he said he was going to the back yard, but he hasn’t come back yet.
“I guess I’m very constipated.”
“is that so?”
“Let’s feed him something good later. “Hehehe.”
The moment Dan So-mi nodded willingly, people suddenly started shouting.
Wow!
This is because those who will take part in the finals began to appear one by one.
Not only among the eight great families, but also among the ronin, they are quite famous.
Thanks to this, more people came to this place than in the preliminaries, and the cheers never stopped.
“I guess the gambling is over already, right?”
“Uh huh – I don’t think you should mess with something like that.”
“What do you think? Somi.”
“yes?”
“Who do you think will win among those people?”
Sadohak asked with sparkling eyes.
Although she doesn’t enjoy gambling, I asked Somi Dan, the luckiest among them, if she thought it wasn’t a bad idea to try guessing for fun.
Somi muttered and swallowed a small moan.
I looked at the people I saw from a distance one by one. Namgung So-hye was also seen, and Jang Sam-tae was also there. There are many familiar faces, so no matter who you choose, those who were not chosen will inevitably be disappointed.
Then Dansomi pointed to someone.
“That guy over there.”
” who?”
“That’s the guy wearing the goblin mask.” “goblin’?”
The two people looked at the direction Dansomi was pointing with strange expressions on their faces. Then, I saw someone wearing a goblin mask standing tall.
At that moment, the two people were speechless.
Because he was wearing a mask, his face was not visible. However, this does not mean that you cannot recognize who the person is.
Each person has a basic body type and unique energy, but among these people, Dan Woo-Hyeon had a slightly special energy.
That’s why the two old men recognized it right away.
“What is that guy doing over there now?”
“Heh… heh heh….”
“Why? “Do you know someone?”
“Oh no, no.”
The two broke into a cold sweat.
Now that I think about it, the memory of Jang Sam-tae rushing towards the end of the preliminaries came to mind. I thought maybe it was because of this incident.
“You’re an adult intervening in a children’s fight, right? “Do you have any thoughts?”
“Well… isn’t that because you have something on your mind
?”
Although he is being protective, Namgung-cheon also looks very disapproving. If this happens, isn’t the winner already confirmed?
A sigh escaped from the mouths of the two people.
Then, Namgung-cheon and Sadohak looked at each other, as if they suddenly remembered something.
Silence for a while.
The moment we realized we were thinking the same thing, we cleared our throats.
“Big…”
“Huh…”
The two people rummaged around in the arms.
He checked something, counted them one by one, and then nodded.
“Somi.”
“yes?”
“Can you be alone for a moment?”
“Of course! “Are you coming soon?”
“Hehehe, you won’t even get caught.”
“yes!”
The two quickly stood up, looking at Dansomi, who nodded willingly.
My steps towards somewhere became very fast.
I passed through the countless crowds and entered the back alley.
Normally, it would be a place without even people, but today I saw countless people gathered there.
Two people stopped there.
“No, I’m just giving it a try…”
“Wouldn’t it be beneficial to play games like this sometimes? haha.” Hiding their awkwardness, they stood in front of a man.
When the person working at the reception slowly raised his head, Namgung-cheon endured some awkwardness and cautiously opened his mouth.
He had an expression like a child playing pranks without an adult knowing.
“Are there people who bet money on the man wearing the goblin mask?”
In response to the question, the man started shuffling through the paper. He looked at it for a while and then nodded slightly.
“There are a couple of them. “One of them bet quite a lot of money… but the odds aren’t really that good…”
the man answered with a sneer.
The winner of this competition must have been the people of the King of Geum’s wealth, that is, the late exponents from the Cheondohoe, but some foolish person had put up a huge sum of 100,000 nyang.
That moment when you shake your head.
“I’ll bet all this money on the guy wearing the goblin mask.”
“me too.”
“You mean… everything?” As the two people nodded, the man made a strange expression. Although they are said to be wearing a fearsome mask, wearing such a mask does not necessarily mean they are strong.
Therefore, many people thought that the person wearing the goblin mask was out of the question and placed a bet, so even though there was someone who placed a huge bet of 100,000 nyang, it has the highest odds in the competition.
If, by chance, he wins, he can win a huge amount of money.
Of course, the man thought the probability of that happening was very slim.
The man sneered as he thought about that.
“Hurry up and give me a confirmation! “The kid is waiting!”
“All right.”
The man had a strange expression, but there was no reason to stop him. He quickly reached out, collected the money, and handed over a confirmation certificate.
“Hehehe……”
“Hehehehe.”
The two old men walked leisurely with invisible smiles on their faces. The laughter flowing out of them gave off a somewhat uneasy feeling.
The man looked at it and trembled with some uneasy feeling.
