Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 96
Episode 96
Man Houliang sat in his office, drinking tea and looking at the person in front of him. Although he was wearing a mask so that his face could not be seen, his sharp prayers were felt and he did not seem to be an ordinary person.
Man Hu-liang’s gaze as he looked at such a man was like looking at an insect. Man Hu-liang asked, slurping down a sip of tea without even giving her a proper look.
“So what happened?”
“Contact with the subordinates I sent has been lost.”
“…Hmm, then it must have been Geomhwang?”
“That’s… I don’t think that’s the case.”
“I don’t think so? because?” Man Hu-ryang’s gaze, which had been agitated, turned towards the man for the first time. He had an expression of great curiosity about what would come out of the other person’s mouth.
“We found the bodies of the dead people. “It seems like something happened while they were attacking the manor and escaping from there.”
“There was an attack?”
“Yes, I sent the children to check and it turned out that the manor already had signs of a fight so intense that it was practically in ruins. Also, the place where the children we sent died was not far from the manor, and the traces of the fight that took place there are hard to believe were black.”
“Are you sure?”
“You can risk your life. Upon examining the body, it was found that although a sword had been used, it was so cruel that it could not be considered a martial art of the Emperor of Swords. “There were also traces of magic.”
“Magic… Magic… So, that means this is where the master of the Demonic Cult was hiding.”
“I think so.”
Man Huliang nodded.
I don’t think my subordinates’ guesses are wrong. However, there were some things that were unclear. Since I couldn’t pinpoint what it was, I had no choice but to accept it for now.
“So are the people in the manor dead?”
“…From the beginning, they ordered everyone to sink except for the body of the Emperor, so whether they were dead or alive… However, their whereabouts were unknown.”
“The master of the Demonic Cult may be alive, but those with him are missing? Maybe they’re all alive…”
“I’m sorry!”
“No, no.”
Man Huliang waved his hand loudly and laughed. The order given to them was ‘Kill the Emperor.’ Although the circumstances of failure were visible, it would have been enough if it had been confirmed that the person there was not the Geomwang.
What do you do when you see unnecessary blood?
Man Huliang burst out laughing briefly and leaned back in his chair.
“Then is that gentleman really dead?”
Man Huliang was impressed.
Surely, if he had seen the corpse of the Sword Emperor in his eyes, he would not have thought this. As a result, it was Man Hu-ryang’s mistake that the cleanup was not done neatly.
“I can’t help it. You guys, keep your hands off Honam affairs and take care of the children. “Nothing good can come from having your tail stepped on for no reason.”
“Jonmyeong!”
“Ah, and what happened there
?”
“It’s smooth.”
This time he nodded with a satisfied smile.
In fact, no matter what the situation was, it was probably good. It was just a thorn in his eyes, and the body was needed to further shake Mo Yonghyeok’s heart.
He had more important things to do now.
Man Houliang adjusted his posture and opened his mouth.
“You guys go to Anhui like this
.”
“number of people!”
“It’s time to take down the Namgung family’s plaque. haha.”
Late at night.
Dan Woo-hyeon was looking at the collapsed manor.
Beside him, Hong Won-chang, Nam Gung-cheon, Kwon Moo-jin, and Jang Sam-tae were standing silently watching Dan Woo-hyeon’s actions.
The manor was in ruins.
The wall had almost collapsed and could no longer be said to exist, and the magnificent buildings had disappeared into nowhere.
Although it was only a short time, it was a space that gave him rest, so the bitterness cannot be expressed in words.
“It reminds me of when the manor was first built here.”
At that one word, everyone raised their eyes in anger.
Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice was somehow very empty. Those who heard that voice began to tremble without realizing it.
‘It’s true that you built it!’
‘They said it was renovated… but no one believed it.’
The four people laughed awkwardly.
In any case, it was the moment when it became clear that Dan Woo-hyeon had built this manor in just one day.
“You don’t have to worry, Master Jang! “This Samtae will clean it up.”
“Haha, is that so?”
“yes! “That old man seems to have a lot of money and is in good condition, so wouldn’t it be okay to treat him to his heart’s content?”
Jang Sam-tae quietly approached me and said with a smile.
He, too, was as attached to this place as Dan Woo-hyeon.
From the moment I first came to now, it has been a little over a year, but there have been so many memories along the way. If I were to list them one by one, there would be no end to them.
Therefore, this place was also a home for Jang Sam-tae.
For him who had nowhere to go, this was his home, his hometown, and the embrace of his family. This is the same thought as Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae.
“It needs to be fixed quickly… I can’t be in the care of the government forever.”
“ha ha ha! What do you mean? Lord! “Isn’t this Hong Wenchang’s house your master’s house?”
At that moment, Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Hong Wenchang with a strange gaze.
It seems that the word ‘daehyup’ was mentioned not long ago, but suddenly the word ‘lord’ appeared. I thought Kwon Moo-jin was the only one who would say something like that.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon said, ‘Ah!’ And I remembered something.
There was definitely something written down, right?
Is that why?
Although the term ‘lord’ was very annoying, I thought it was okay.
“Thank you for saying that. “I guess there was a guest here.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at his feet.
There were some strange footprints there. It seemed like an effort was made to erase the traces, but it seemed like even the smallest traces could not be erased.
“It’s here too.”
Namgung-cheon also found traces of someone else.
It was like searching the inside of a collapsed manor.
Not just one person, but several people. Since no police or anyone else had come here, it was certain that he was an uninvited guest.
“Of course. These are the ones you were talking about. “He probably came to check.”
Jumping and running –
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded and walked around the manor.
After discovering traces that could not be erased here and there, I checked the footprints while recalling the light tools they had used.
It’s definitely true.
“What are they doing?…”
“Do you want to chase them?”
“no. It’s probably already too late. “It’s too late to catch the tail.”
It has already been four days since the manor collapsed and entered Hong Won-chang’s house. Since he was busy consoling Dansomi and taking care of Sadohak’s fallen body, he had no time to pay attention to the manor.
If you had come by earlier, you might have caught it.
Dan Woo-hyeon clicked his tongue.
It’s unfortunate, but that’s it.
I’ll be able to catch it again someday.
“Let’s go back first.”
Now it was urgent to repair the manor.
Although Dan Woo-hyeon could easily accomplish that level of work on his own, there was actually one thing I felt while living in Hong Won-chang’s house.
‘Yeah, I didn’t know anything at that time.’
Dan Woo-hyeon was not a professional carpenter. It was also my first time building a house.
Because he was dexterous, he was able to build a house exactly as he had in his head, but he could not build it perfectly like carpenters. The manor he built looked gorgeous, but it had many cracks and was weak.
I found out that winter was approaching.
A cold wind blew in, making Dansomi shiver.
This time, I planned to complement them all and build a perfect manor.
For the first time in a long time, fighting spirit appeared in Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes.
Sadohak opened his eyes.
I felt like my whole body was going to break.
I couldn’t move a single finger properly.
It was such a big shock. I tried to remember what on earth had happened.
Eventually, an idea occurred to me and I laughed helplessly.
“You lost… I…”
I thought it was ridiculous.
It was thought that everything was due to a surprise attack. However, when I thought back on every single thing that happened at the time, it was so overwhelming that I could clearly feel the difference in class.
‘Huh-’ I laughed awkwardly again
.
Apostle Crane, known as the Demon Emperor of this world….
“Are you awake?”
I was startled by the sudden sound and turned my head.
There was clearly no sign of anything, but there was a child. No, it’s not that I can’t feel it, it’s that I feel like I’ve lost some sense of my body.
That’s how big it was.
“You slept for three days.” The round eyes looked intently at Apostle Crane.
Those eyes that are utterly innocent. He just seemed to be full of worry about the person in front of him.
Apostolate made an impression.
“Are you sure…?”
“It’s called Dansomi!”
“I see.”
“What about grandfather? Oh, you’re grandfather, right?”
“…it’s all about apostolate.”
Sadohak answered with a reluctant expression.
He hated children.
They only make noise and act immaturely, causing trouble to others. Even when used in droves, it is truly a sight to behold. When I saw a child crying so loudly in the middle of the street, I felt like hitting him.
There was a child in front of him. Even though it’s a girl, I still hate things I don’t like.
“Would you like some water?”
“It is done.”
“Do you want to eat?”
For a moment, I remembered something from the past.
Sadohak looked away with a bored face. Now that I think about it, something like that happened, and a long sigh escaped my lips.
The two said nothing more.
Since Sadohak did not respond, Dan Somi had no idea what to say. In the end, I groaned and thought for a while before lowering my head.
“Hey, sorry!”
“huh? “What do you mean?”
A sour answer came back.
What accident happened again?
The sight ahead was already dizzying.
“That beard… Somi said that.”
“So… what?”
“B…but there was no malice. “It’s a little messy so I’m going to clean it up…”
Sadohak frowned. I was boiling with anger, but I couldn’t raise my voice at the child who was crying with his head down.
In the end, I sighed again.
“It is done. “It’s in the past.”
“Hehehe.”
“Don’t laugh. And the child who did something wrong must be punished. “Look at the wall over there and stand there with your hands up.”
” to?”
Dansomi was surprised.
No one has ever said anything like that before. No matter what mistakes there were, most people just smiled and accepted it.
Not only Jang Sam-tae, but also Kwon Moo-jin and Namgung-cheon.
Dan Woo-hyeon had nothing to say.
Dansomi stood up from her seat awkwardly. I thought it was a joke, but when I saw Sadohak hurriedly raising his eyes, I couldn’t bear to say, ‘It’s a joke, right?’ It was impossible to ask.
He stood in front of the wall on his two small legs and glanced at Sadohak again before raising his hands.
“Am I really doing this?”
“Isn’t it obvious! “If you did something wrong, you should be punished.”
“…yes.”
Dansomi raised her hand.
Even so, he glanced around and glanced at Sadohak. Seeing her like that made me realize that I had never really experienced being scolded.
How much did you embrace and raise it?
“lol.”
At that time, I heard Dansomi’s laughter.
I could hear him laughing even though he was being punished, so I shot him a look to see if he was doing something else.
“What’s so funny?”
“But somehow it feels good. “Because no one else would do this to Somi.”
“under! It’s because I was raised too much. “What do you think you will be when you grow up like that?”
“Uhm-!”
Dansomi’s short moan was heard.
After thinking for a while, he turned his head and looked at Sadohak. Before he knew it, his face was filled with smiles.
“Beauty?”
“Wow, what a fucking bountiful harvest.”
Sadohak shook his head.
I thought he might be a little lacking.
