Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 67

Episode 67

Nearly two months have passed since Namgungcheon entered this manor.

After recuperating for about 15 days, he began to help with the manor’s work in earnest. In fact, from Namgung Cheon’s point of view, as he did not have any special skills, it was nothing more than chores or helping out.

Moreover, since he didn’t even have one arm, most of the problems were solved by Jang Sam-tae or Kwon Moo-jin.

In the end, Namgung-cheon took special measures.

I decided to do something that could help this manor even if I had no arm. It’s not that much, but there are still a few things you can do.

Especially this one.

Pop!

As I vigorously lifted the fishing rod, a large catfish was caught. It was so big that it was as big as an adult’s palm, so Dan Somi, who was watching from the side, burst into laughter.

“Wow, it’s so big! “I think this is the best one I’ve caught so far!”

“Is that so? “Hehe, but it’s not as good as the carp you caught yesterday.”

“Oh, I think it’s bigger than that?”

Dansomi smiled brightly and stretched out her hand. I removed the hook from the catfish’s mouth and placed it in a basket that was half submerged in water.

This way, they will stay fresh for a long time until you take them home.

“This time, let’s catch an eel! “Take care of your health, Dad and Grandpa!”

“Huh, those guys are hard to catch, ok…”

“It’s okay. Somi snaps! ‘I’ll catch you!’

Nam Gung-cheon quietly looked at Dan So-mi.

The young one is fearless and grabs the live bait in its hand and without hesitation puts it on the hook.

‘At that age, it’s normal to be scared even when you see a bug.’

Namgung So-hye also picked up a sword at the same age as Dan So-mi, but was very afraid of bugs and rats. Especially when cockroaches came out, they would run wild and make a big fuss.

When that thought vaguely came to mind, I started to miss it quite a bit.

“Now that I think about it, Somi.”

“yes?”

“Aren’t you tired?”

” What?”

“What is it, Inseok? I mean what’s here. It’s like a low school or a school, but aren’t there any friends around and it’s only full of guys? “Hehehe.”

“ah!”

Dan So-mi understood Nam Gung-cheon’s words and nodded.

During the past ten days, when I saw Somi, Dan Woo-hyeon always picked her up after school, and she didn’t even have time to play with her friends. All she did was follow the men around.

However, except for Dan Woo-hyeon, Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae each had their own work to do, so they were unable to continue to look after Dan So-mi.

I spent a lot of time alone.

Being in such a remote place did not seem like a good environment for a child.

But Dansomi shook her head.

“Grandpa, are you uncomfortable with not having arms?”

My eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected question. This is because even children usually do not ask questions like this.

Even Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae noticed.

Nangong Cheon thought for a while.

‘Yes, it’s uncomfortable.’

It was actually quite a shock just to lose my left arm. Because it was the arm that had been with him his whole life and had elevated him to the position of Emperor of the Sword.

Even now, because I have no arms, I can only fish like this, and I feel sick that I can no longer provide any help to Namgung So-hye.

Therefore, there was only one answer for him.

“It’s a bit like that.”

“Not me. Even if you don’t have any friends, there’s an uncle here and there’s a dad. And now I have a grandfather too. If I sleep today and go to school, I can see my friends, and when I come back from school, my family will be there. That’s why Somi is not uncomfortable at all.”

The child’s fresh smile touched me.

Although he was just expressing his thoughts, Nam Gung-cheon looked as if he was shocked.

It was also at that time that Dansomi’s voice was heard.

“Isn’t your grandfather like that too? You don’t have a left arm, but you have a right arm. “I don’t think my grandfather is uncomfortable.”

Nangong Cheon raised his remaining right hand as he listened to the story.

Because it is not the arm I normally use, I still feel awkward in my movements, but I can still fish like this because I have this arm.

I burst out laughing without realizing it.

“I see… This old lady still

has her right hand.”

“Hehehe, that’s right. So, I also go fishing. “It’s not uncomfortable at all, right?”

“haha! Inseok, you said it was uncomfortable. But it doesn’t seem to be as bad as you said.”

Parr-!

Nangong Cheon, seeing the fishing line trembling violently, quickly stretched out his right hand and lifted it vigorously.

An eel was dragged up without even being able to resist.

As it fell to the ground, Dan

Somi clapped her hands.

“oh}-!”

“Hehehe.”

Namgungcheon smiled softly as he looked at a wriggling eel.

It feels as if all the distracting thoughts that were messing around in my head are disappearing one by one.

Before you know it, your gaze is not on the caught eel, but on Dansomi. To be taught by a child who was twelve years old at most?

Even though the Geomwang’s face was crumpled, it seemed like it was completely crumpled.

‘I still have my right arm left.’

Even if your left arm is cut off, you still have a right arm.

Although your strength has disappeared, it may not be completely impossible to get it back if you try again.

Namgung-cheon began to look back on each and every one of them and think positively about them, and soon his eyes lit up.

“This Nangongcheon… is not dead yet.”

He is a swordsman.

He was praised as the best leader of the political faction, and was a military person that everyone respected and looked up to.

Even if at most one hand and one arm disappear, the footsteps of a great warrior do not disappear.

You can go up again.

Namgung-cheon got up from his seat.

I smiled as I felt Somi staring at me.

“This old man has something to do for a while, so can he be alone?”

“Yes, Somi likes fishing. Hehe, and I said my dad would come after a while, so it’s okay.”

“Hehehe, go ahead.”

I stood up with a small smile.

He was truly an extraordinary child.

It must be quite lonely being alone, but he doesn’t even show it. That may be why I feel more attached to it.

If Namgung Sohye saw how he was treating this child, she might become jealous.

I disciplined that child, but never praised him.

I walked slowly, opened the manor door, and entered.

On one side was Jang Sam-tae, and on the other side was Kwon Moo-jin’s face.

I walked on, ignoring those two people.

Where he is headed has already been decided.

The training hall behind the manor.

I grabbed a wooden sword lying around there in my hand. Since I had never held a tree except when I was very young, the feeling of the tree that I felt for the first time in a long time was very unfamiliar.

Boom-!

I swung it once, and the sound of the strong wind irritated my ears.

Even though it had no history, it made a fairly sharp sound as if its herbivorous nature had not changed.

But I wasn’t used to it.

Since I was trying to do everything with my right hand that I had done with my left hand, I couldn’t even figure out how Choshik should develop, let alone the sword.

But he swung without stopping.

Boom boom!

Every time the sword moved, the sound changed dramatically. I repeated the sword path in my head one by one and explained everything from the beginning, step by step.

They are never easy. Although less than a minute had passed, Namgung Cheon’s face was covered in sweat as if he was exhausted.

Since his attack power has disappeared, it is a martial arts attack that uses up his remaining basic stamina.

It’s bound to be difficult as you get older. But Namgungcheon did not give up.

day. Two days. Three days.

After spending two hours a day holding the sword, the blade became sharper than before, and it felt like my food habits had changed a lot.

Also, as I looked back on everything from the beginning, I gained insight that I had overlooked at the time, and I felt like my sword skills had improved significantly compared to the past.

Namgungcheon concentrated even more.

It felt like I was sharpening my sword even more for the day when I would get everything back.

About ten days had passed like that.

Dan Woo-hyeon, who was not even seen without a nose, came to the training hall. He stared at Namgung Cheon, who was swinging his sword for a long time, and then when he stopped swinging his sword, he spoke.

“I guess you’ve finally regained your energy.”

“Hehe, shamefully, I gained enlightenment from a child.”

“Does enlightenment discriminate between men and women of all ages? “If you don’t know something and someone else knows it, you can be taught as much as you want.”

Namgungcheon thought as he heard that voice.

‘Yes, it’s never embarrassing.’

Nam Gung-cheon, who was looking down on everything while intoxicated by the fake name of Geomwang, didn’t know if he was even more embarrassed because he had never received teachings from someone recently.

But even that was good for now.

“I guess I’m not dead yet.”

“That’s how I see it too.”

“Can you hang out for a moment?”

Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Nam Gung-cheon with a somewhat surprised expression. Are you trying to outwit yourself with a right arm you are not familiar with?

It was quite interesting.

“You mean that arm?”

“It’s not moving properly, but that doesn’t mean we can’t just leave it alone. As I said before, this Nam Gung-cheon is not dead.” After swinging a sword for ten days, I realized something.

The quickest and most comfortable way to adapt to the right hand is to fight appropriately.

Although he was said to have no air power, things like basic herbalism and fighting methods were heaven and earth different from Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae.

Since he couldn’t compete with them, he asked Dan Woo-hyeon, who seemed to be strong.

Everything, including how to use Chosik and the sword, had to be different from when used with the left hand, and he was the only opponent who could create tension.

“I think it will be okay to take it lightly. “I am confident that I am already quite familiar with it, but there are still some things I am lacking and I would like to test them out.”

Dan Woo-hyeon swallowed a short groan and said, “Hmm.”

We have already seen the swordsmanship of the Namgung family through Namgung Sohye.

But what does Geomhwang’s herbal diet taste like?

Even Namgungcheon was the most expert among those he met after opening his eyes.

I have never seen someone as strong as this, and his prayer was so great that it made my heart beat.

Although it was a simple herbivore competition, it seemed like it would be fun.

“good night. “If you want.”

“Thank you.”

At the sound of that sound, not only Jang Sam-tae, who was working, but even Kwon Moo-jin carefully approached and kept an eye on the training ground.

That’s because the match between the two was something you couldn’t see even if you paid money.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Of course, Lord Jang. No matter how strong you are, you can only use one arm…”

Kwon Moo-jin, who was looking at the two people moving slowly and holding wooden swords in their hands, nodded at Jang Sam-tae’s words.

Dan Woo-hyeon will definitely win this match, as his attack power has been disrupted due to acid poisoning and he is not in the same physical condition as before.

However, the variable was that the opponent was Geomhwang.

He is the strongest political faction.

That is why he was given the title of Emperor Geom.

Even if it was a simple herbivore match, it was clear that they could never keep up.

That’s why I couldn’t take my eyes off it even more. Soon, the two people faced each other with wooden swords. What kind of herbivorous diet should you go for? As I was thinking about that, the voice of Dan Woo-hyeon, who had not even taken any stance, flowed in quietly.

“Try your best.”
