Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 272
Episode 272
Welcoming Guests (4)
“Priestess.”
“Are you finished?”
“yes. Some of the indoor moisture has been removed. “I think we can now move the patients.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“no. “If we do that, we will immediately transfer the patients.”
“Mr. Gong and his wife should not move yet. The pus has been completely removed, but the fever has not gone down yet. Fortunately, they are both young and will recover quickly, so we will watch for another day or two before moving on.”
“All right.”
“Yes, please work a little harder.”
“you’re welcome. “If you do it, that’s enough.”
As the man walked away, the woman moved her brush again.
Sak Sak.
The woman’s brushwork was truly a work of art. It was a typeface that reached the pinnacle of the eight laws, yet also coexisted with delicacy and mystery.
Her handwriting, so perfect that even the darkest of eyes would gasp, resembled her appearance.
Pure white skin that is difficult to compare to any woman in the central region. Her hair, which shined brighter than gold, hung down to her waist and was so soft that it looked like a river of melted gold.
She was tall for a woman and her body had clear curves. The pupils were blue, the skeleton was quite solid, and the facial features were very clear.
It was the appearance of peoples living further west than Cheonchukguk (天竺國), far to the west of the central plains.
On the good side, he has an extremely mysterious appearance. On the bad side, he has a magical appearance. She was an exotic beauty rarely found in the midfield.
“Is this enough?”
Gently wave your sleeve to dry the ink.
Although he had the appearance of a westerner, his handwriting and behavior showed that he had ingrained Jungwon etiquette. In fact, he seemed to be much more proficient in etiquette than the Jungwon people.
The woman who had finished drying the ink folded the letter one by one.
The woman sighed.
“It should arrive within five days, but I’m worried.”
She got up and headed to the next room.
Beep!
There were three hawks flapping their wings in the room.
The woman tied a letter to the ankle of one of them. It was a fairly small piece of paper, but since the falcon itself was not that big, both ankles were covered.
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble. Now, go quickly.”
Deukdeuk!
After sending Jeon Seo-eung away, she looked up at the sky outside the window with deep eyes.
It was a night sky with barely any clouds visible. The starlight seemed like it was going to pour down, and the moon, which was slightly less cold, was shining quietly.
“It’s very cold. “It’s also dry.”
White steam flowed from the woman’s mouth.
“How can it be so cold in Jungwon? “They say that in the South, even winter is like spring. I’d like to go there once I’m done with work.”
It was a tone that conveyed a sense of nostalgia.
She quietly looked up at the sky and smiled mischievously.
“There are probably a lot of new herbs to see, right? “Oh, I’m excited.”
A strange excitement appeared on her face as she rested her elbows on the window and rested her chin.
“Jungwon’s medical skills are definitely mysterious? The same goes for blood flow and energy. Well, ‘they’ were also good at handling energy.”
The woman stroked her lower abdomen.
“Naegong is truly mysterious. I never thought I would feel so warm and secure just by forming a Danjeon. If I knew it would be like this, I would have learned from them in advance…”
Her voice became increasingly faint.
“….”
There was silence for a moment.
Two hawks turned their eyes to her.
She looked out the window for a long time with indecipherable eyes and soon closed her eyes.
“When will I be free?”
She opened her eyes again and smiled and stroked the hawk’s chin.
“You guys are good. Because it has wings. “It’s like this right now, but you can fly away whenever you want.”
She said with a sigh.
“Isn’t that so, Jamyoung Ilho?”
Slurp.
A man with black bandages all over his body appeared from a dark, shadowy corner.
The man’s pupils were also blue, like the woman’s. The only difference was that the woman’s eyes were clear and deep, while the man’s eyes were cool.
The man got down on one knee.
“I meet the saint. “Have you been safe so far?”
“Unfortunately, it’s okay.”
“Fortunately, the.”
The woman, Ki Woo-hee, smiled bitterly.
“Are you here to check? “Am I shaking?”
“Additional people fell from above.”
“….”
“This is an order to stay in the Murim Alliance as long as possible.”
Ki Woo-hee’s eyes wavered.
“Is that all?”
“That’s right. If another person falls, we will contact you separately.”
“all right. Is there anything else you can tell me?”
“I heard that you recently learned the Naegongsim method.”
Ki Woo-hee’s face hardened.
As expected, they were continuing to watch them.
The problem is that I didn’t feel any sign of it.
Ki Woo-hee was born with a sixth sense and was able to survive countless assassins’ attacks even before he learned a single martial art.
That sixth sense became sharper day by day, and now, if I wanted to, I could sense the presence of someone looking at me from 200 miles away.
A representative example was the immediate recognition of Jamyoung Ilho’s popularity. Jamyoung Ilho’s stealth skills were so great that they could outsmart even the best assassin in the central region.
She didn’t realize that someone was watching her.
“Who is it?”
“The Neigongsim method that the saint has learned is third-rate. “I am sending a message that if you wish, I will grant you the martial arts of the religion.”
“Who ordered it? “I didn’t feel popular or noticed.”
“These are the words of the leader himself, so please speak whenever you wish.”
Cult leader.
Ki Woo-hee let out a sigh.
“The leader… are you well?”
“of course.”
“…You’re not in pain or anything, right?”
“The religious leader is a godman. “No disease or demon in this world can violate His body.”
“….”
“I brought two copies of the Naegongsimbeop, just in case. “It is a fusion of the doctrine’s judgment and the martial arts of the central plains, so even those who know the school would not know that the saint’s martial arts are related to the doctrine.”
Sreuk.
Jamyoung Ilho placed two secret books on the table.
“Once you memorize everything, you must burn it immediately.”
Ki Woo-hee, who was quietly watching the situation, soon sighed.
“Now that I’m here, please do me a favor.”
“Please speak.”
“There is a shortage of medicinal ingredients. “We have been providing help from one of the top organizations, but that has also become very difficult recently, so we are having trouble securing medicines.”
“….”
“Can you airlift the medicinal herbs I requested within five days?”
“It’s impossible.”
“….”
“I received a report that a guard team has departed from the Murim Alliance. “It may not happen, but if they do try to check the source of the medicine, it could be a headache.”
Ki Woo-hee gritted his teeth.
“Then give me the money. I’ll take care of it. If there is a delay in securing the medicine, the patients will be at risk…”
“The saint is not the kind of person who would bestow favors on insignificant people in a place like this.”
“…!”
“Also, infiltrating the Murim Alliance is not something the saint would do. Nevertheless, the reason the saint is experiencing this suffering is because she has original sin.”
Despite the insurmountable difference in status, Jamyoung Ilho’s words were cold and sharp like a dagger.
Ki Woo-hee knew. The fact that Jamyoung Ilho feels sorry for himself.
The reason he spoke so harshly was because he was worried about himself.
“Even the original sin becomes nothing if the saint puts her mind to it. “You know very well how much the priest cares for you, right?”
“….”
“Please stop associating with insignificant people and make your heart right. “I am not a religious leader who will give up just because the saint is like this.”
“Jamyoung Ilho.”
“Yes, saint.”
Ki Woo-hee’s eyes caught fire.
“They are not insignificant people. “They are human beings with flesh and blood like us.”
“It is insignificant because their blood is different and their flesh is different.”
“….”
Ki Woo-hee sighed.
“Just go. “I listened carefully to the orders from above.”
“Saint.”
“I don’t want to talk anymore.”
Jamyeong Il-ho, who was looking at Ki Woo-hee, lowered his head.
“If you do that, I’ll just go.”
Slurp.
Jamyoung Il-ho disappeared. Just like when it appeared, I had no idea what kind of martial arts it was using when it disappeared.
Ki Woo-hee, who was looking out the window with sad eyes, suddenly turned his eyes to the table.
The two volumes illuminated by moonlight looked somewhat eerie.
Ki Woo-hee muttered in a self-deprecating voice.
“Saint? New woman? It’s funny. “You’re asking me for money as if you were leaving me to a subject that the only thing I know how to do is medicine.”
Grumbling.
Ki Woo-hee shed tears.
She heard the emergency.
“Jamyoung Ilho. They are not insignificant. “If it’s insignificant, I’m even more insignificant.”
* * *
Heeheeheehee!
Each of the four horses let out a harsh cry.
“Shall we rest here today?”
Mukbi’s appetite whetted at Yeonhojeong’s words.
“I’ve been curious about something for a while.”
“hmm?”
“Why do you like being homeless so much? “You can just go to the nearest guesthouse.”
“What do you think? “The scenery is nice, and it’s a time like this to be with nature.”
“It’s too cold to talk about the scenery!”
It was winter and there was a lot of snow. I brought fur clothes and a jacket just in case, but the weather wasn’t conducive to spending the night in the snowy forest.
Yeon Ho-jeong snorted.
“What are you going to do with your skills? Besides, if you are conscious, you won’t feel the cold at all.”
“We are who we are, but our words are the problem.”
“These are children raised with the best blood and even elixirs. “I’m sure he’s more resistant to the cold than you are.”
“You shouldn’t talk.”
Mo Fei got off the horse in disgust.
Mo Yong-woo said with a smile.
“Manager Mook has a point. “Is there any need to sleep in the forest?”
“It’s romantic, right?”
Mo Yong-woo gave up trying to persuade this crazy younger brother.
In other words, he possessed strong endurance as a peak expert. If I was just paying attention, I wouldn’t have been affected by this much cold.
In the end, the group, unable to break Yeon Ho-jeong’s stubbornness, had to spend the night in a snowy forest.
Cheeeeeeeek!
By cutting down the moisture-filled wood, drying it, and lighting it immediately, a bonfire was created in an instant.
“It’s warm after.”
Kang Ryang spread his hands in front of the bonfire.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked Kang Ryang.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“Yes, brother. “It’s only been an hour since I ate.”
“Is it normal to ride a horse?”
“If you see me like this, I’ll cut you with a knife. “It doesn’t get through to you.”
“That’s right. Anyway, my stomach is full, so take your knife and follow me.”
“yes? A knife? why?”
“You said you weren’t hungry?”
“So?”
“I have to practice when I have time. When are you going to do it? Follow me. “My father told me to mold you properly and bring you back.”
Kang Ryang’s eyes suddenly became serious.
“Good.”
Although he appeared a bit goofy, his desire to become stronger was genuine. Kang Ryang quickly grabbed his great sword and followed Yeon Ho-jeong.
Mo Yong-woo said.
“Don’t relax too much. Let’s start… “He’s already gone.”
Mo Yong-woo glanced silently.
Mukbi smiled awkwardly and lowered his head. Mo Yong-woo also bowed his head with a shy smile.
“….”
The suffocating awkwardness made it seem as if the roaring bonfire would go out.
After a while.
Mo Yong-woo cautiously opened his mouth.
“If you’re not tired, we’ll have a good time…”
Tsk.
Before I knew it, Mukbi had fallen asleep. He must have been sleeping quite deeply, so his breathing was very even.
“…After complaining like that, you fell asleep so quickly.”
In the end, Mo Yong-woo had to do nothing but look around the bonfire for two visits.
alone.
