Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 369

Episode 369

The way forward (4)

What was in the box were two hatchets.

Of course, it was no ordinary hatchet.

“It was made using the original family’s visionary alloy technology. It may weigh a bit more than regular iron, but your clumsy ax cutting won’t damage the blade. “As long as you don’t do anything stupid, you can use it semi-permanently.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were instantly filled with ecstasy.

The official said bluntly.

“What are you doing? “See if you can hear me.”

“yes? “Oh yes.”

Before I knew it, I came up with a polite answer. To that extent, the ax was a work of art.

Yeon Ho-jeong lifted one of the two sacks.

‘That’s amazing.’

It was a little longer than a regular hatchet. Is the total length approximately one and a half feet long?

The ax blade itself was wide and long, so that the extended end of the blade touched the end of the handle. The length of the blade is also close to one and a half characters.

It was a little over a span in width and very thick, about the width of two fingers. The blade was so large and thick that even if ordinary iron had been used, it would have weighed as much as a fairly long sword.

Moreover, perhaps because it used Tangga’s secret alloy technology, it was 30% heavier than the same amount of iron. The horse is like a hatchet, but it is a somewhat burdensome weight for an ordinary person to hold and swing.

‘How on earth did they make it?’

The ax blade, with its strange, wavy patterns engraved on it, was like a work of art in itself. It even had a dynamic dragon shape engraved on it, as if it would jump out at any moment, so it looked even more gorgeous than the Gwangryongbu.

The handle colors were different. One sack was black, and the one held by Yeon Ho-jeong was white.

The material is unknown. However, even though it was white, it didn’t seem like it would get dirty. Additionally, the surface was not slippery, so it felt just right in my hand.

“This is an ax made by a master craftsman, one of the best in the family. “The master named it Black and White Twin Dragon.”

The Black Dragon Club and the White Dragon Club.

One might ask why they should even give a name to a hatchet, but after seeing this figure, I thought that the black and white twin dragons were too simple.

“How do you feel? “Do you like it?”

Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in a voice as if possessed.

“It’s best.”

The official laughed. Even though he cursed at Yeon Ho-jeong a lot, calling her a fool rather than being rude, he still acknowledged Yeon Ho-jeong.

With that guy looking completely possessed, even the magistrate couldn’t help but feel good.

“I also added a round ring to the end of the handle as you ordered. Are you planning on swinging me around on chains?”

“Yes.”

“Write well. Those two axes contain eighty-five percent of the casting technology that our family has been researching. “Even if you cherish it more than your own body, it will never be lacking.”

“….”

“Even if you lose your head, don’t lose it.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the hotel with shaking eyes.

The official frowned.

“What? “Those burdensome eyes.”

“…thank you.”

“You’re laughing. “When did you ask for something half-threateningly and say thank you now?”

“I never thought I would receive something this wonderful.”

The corner of the official’s mouth rose. This spoiled brat must have really liked it to the point of saying something like this.

Yeon Ho-jeong took control.

“I have received great grace. “As long as it is not against morality, I will repay this favor at any cost.”

“In the meantime, they’re putting conditions on it again. “You and your father are similar in that respect.”

“yes?”

“It is done. “If you like it, take it and get out of there.”

“Oh yeah.”

Yeon Ho-jeong quickly took the black and white twin dragons.

It might be a bit heavy for an ordinary person, but for Yeon Ho-jeong, it was the perfect weight. To begin with, he is a person who wields a heavy weapon that weighs over 80 pounds, so if he decides to do so, he can swing it as fast as if he were swinging his bare fist.

‘That’s great.’

Yeon Ho-jeong already felt his heart pounding.

‘The Gwangryongbu would be good in many-on-many fights, but it might be better in one-on-one or melee battles.’

Of course, the Gwangryongbu alone can fight well.

However, the reason Yeon Ho-jeong asked the party official for a hatchet was because he did not know what kind of mission it would be used for in the future. As before, when deployed for operations such as stealth or assassination, the Black and White Twin Dragons will be much less burdensome and more useful than the Gwangryongbu.

‘I received a really nice gift.’

My hand was itching to swing it right away. Yeon Ho-jeong walked out the door with a pounding heart.

It was then.

“for a moment.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked back.

The official was looking at him with his back turned.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“Are you not disappointed?”

“yes?”

Yeon Ho-jeong held up the black and white twin dragons.

“That can’t be possible, right? “I want to swing it right now.”

“I’m not saying that.”

“…?”

“You missed the number one general. “Aren’t you disappointed?”

“ah.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“It’s unfortunate, but what can you do? They’ve already run away, so the future is important. Besides, you and Hugae are investigating various aspects, so for now, you can just carry out your duties in your respective positions.”

“That’s true.”

Tang Gwan’s eyes deepened.

Actually, that wasn’t what I really wanted to ask.

“Do you remember what you told me before?”

“yes?”

“I knew you had a trick hidden from me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

“That’s right.”

“How did you know that?”

Of course, it was because I saw it during the time of the Emperor of Darkness.

But Yeon Ho-jeong couldn’t be honest about that.

“It just seemed like it would happen.”

“Are you trying to just brush it off?”

“In other words, isn’t it normal for the head of a family to have one or two martial arts skills that are not shown to the public?”

“….”

“My father is like that, and so is Mr. Moyong. “In particular, in the fight against this recent crop, my father brought out a trick that he had kept hidden for so long.”

The hotel also remembered that.

‘It was huge.’

Yeonwi’s last sword inflicted a terrible wound on Beonjak’s upper body.

It was not that he showed off a very flashy herbalism or used a unique weapon. Yeonwi’s last sword was literally a maximization of sword power itself.

So it was an even greater sword. It takes time to develop the martial arts, and after throwing down the sword, you will be in a situation where you cannot fight for a while, but it contains such terrifying power that if it hits, it can send anyone to the nether path.

Should we say that it is truly a sword worthy of a senior officer? Yeonwi’s absolute sword, reminiscent of a thunderbolt, was extremely simple, yet showed the ideal of kendo that a swordsman should pursue.

‘I can’t believe you were hiding such power.’

It probably wasn’t something to hide. Yeonwi’s personality was not good at hiding something.

There was just no need to show it until now.

‘If you think about it, Yeongaju’s martial arts skills have always been like that. We follow the middle path without any deviation from the orthodoxy and do not reach out to the wrong things. Although he is frustrating in some ways, he shows himself as a swordsman who can compete with anyone through his honesty in pushing his beliefs to the end.’

When he first had a deep conversation with Yeonwi, the party instinctively felt that Yeonwi was a completely different person from the people he had previously known.

So I kept giggling and was busy thinking about it a few times. My instinct was to understand the personality of a person named Yeonwi, but my mind could not easily accept that such a person could exist in the world.

As time passed, the party came to fully recognize the person named Yeonwi.

There was no way not to admit it. Yeonwi never lied, risked his life to solve a given situation, and despite his position, he always knew how to treat others sincerely.

A person who eats a knife may not be able to hear the sound of a saintly gentleman, but at least in this powerful martial arts world, it will be difficult for a saintly gentleman as good as Yeonwi to emerge again.

So the hotel was well-connected. It was not because he was good and walked the right path, but because he was a person with the guts to respect others and uphold his beliefs to the end.

If Yeonwi had tried to persuade him with nice words or rubbed his palms against him, he would never have acknowledged him.

‘and.’

The official was keeping an eye on Yeonhojeong.

‘That kind of father gave me this kind of son.’

Yeon Ho-jeong was a guy who bore no resemblance to Yeon Wi, even to say the least. At least that’s how it seems on the outside.

But now I could also see the party hall. No, I could tell.

No matter what anyone says, Yeon Ho-jeong is Yeon Wi’s child.

Yeonwi, an Ilse charlatan who practices orthodox swordsmanship, values norms, and regards morality as the highest value.

Yeon Ho-jeong, the world’s best late-round exponent, who has trained his own unique martial arts skills and shows unconventional words and actions and outstanding brain power without being restricted by norms and morals.

Although the two people were completely different, there were some surprising similarities.

‘This rich man never has any impure thoughts or worries when he shows his sincerity.’

I thought Yeonwi was that kind of person, but I didn’t know that Yeonho would show that kind of side.

That was the reason why the party recognized not only Yeonwi but also Yeonhojeong.

“But how can you ask that?”

The official, who was quietly looking straight at Yeonhojeong, suddenly asked.

“Do you believe in me?”

It was a random question.

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“That’s a unique question.”

“Answer me. “Do you believe in me?”

“I believe it. “To some extent.”

The official laughed.

“It means I don’t completely trust you.”

“I don’t know why you’re asking that question, but it’s because I’m a very suspicious person. “I cannot become a saint like my father.”

“It’s obvious. Even if you train for a thousand years, you will not even reach your father’s feet.”

“I know. That’s why I live by acknowledging it to myself.”

“There is nothing more important than knowing how to understand the topic. “If you look at things like that, you’re definitely not an ordinary guy.”

“I will take this as a compliment. But how can you suddenly ask such a question?”

The official watched Yeon Ho-jeong in silence for a moment.

‘This guy doesn’t know. It’s not that I don’t admit it, it’s that I don’t know.’

He looked into Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.

Two transparent and deep eyes with clear black and white colors.

‘This guy is the eldest son of a royal family. This guy is me…’

The official closed his eyes.

‘What a stupid guy. Even though we fought so hard, do you still believe in me?’

Because we risked our lives together and fought together? Not like that. Yeon Ho-jeong is not a very easy guy.

He went to fight with me because he already believed in me. It was a small but big difference.

The official opened his eyes.

“You said you would return the favor, right?”

“yes?”

“I said that I would repay the favor of handing me the ax as long as it did not violate moral principles.”

“That’s right.”

The official nodded.

“Follow me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up. It was because I felt like I knew what the government wanted.

“I’m not in the best shape.”

“I have no intention of taking your life, so don’t talk nonsense and just follow me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.

“Yes, you say so.”
