Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 524

Episode 524:

The barracks located outside the castle.

As I removed the curtain that covered the entrance, the sight of two women sitting across from each other at a table came into view.

Dang Seo-yeon and Cheon Ga-ryeong.

I don’t know what was being exchanged, but the expressions on both sides were contrasting.

Tang Seo-yeon had a slightly embarrassed face, while Cheon Ga-ryeong had a calm and collected face.

“Dang sojeo.”

“What’s going on? “Unrang (郞).”

I glanced sideways in the direction of Cheon Ga-ryeong, took a deep breath, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

I thought about asking him to leave for a moment, but decided not to.

Because what I’m going to say from now on has nothing to do with her.

“I have news to tell you.”

“What do you mean by news?”

“First, it is said that Dang Ga-ju has regained consciousness.”

“Is that true?”

Tang Seo-yeon’s eyes opened wide.

There was only one reason why she had to live in the barracks, leaving behind the intact buildings in the castle.

To receive the messenger as quickly as possible and receive news about my father.

The Tang family’s poisonous ghost fell into a critical condition, unconscious, due to a fight with the demonic cult leader.

Ever since she heard that news, a shadow had always appeared on Tang Seo-yeon’s face.

Seeing her overjoyed made me feel rewarded for delivering the news quickly.

‘Thank goodness.’

It was Gyeongbo (丐幇) who informed me that Dang Family Master had awakened.

The beggars’ tightly knit information sharing system boasted a much faster transmission speed than a messenger.

‘Master, you should be safe too.’

I heard that he was safely transported to Hwangbosae and is receiving treatment.

The side effects of the bomb sleep magic attack were not something to be taken lightly, but I believed that I would overcome it safely since it was my teacher and no one else.

The Master I knew was never a great man who would make the woman he loved into a widow.

“And second. “I found a way to solve Sojeo’s concerns.”

“What concerns are you talking about?”

“The fact that Germans cannot have children. “I know that you are worried and worried about this more than necessary.”

Tang Seo-yeon suddenly turned her head and looked at Cheon Ji-ryeong’s complexion.

It seemed as if he was asking, ‘Did you know that too?’

[And… maybe there is a way to solve your sister’s concerns.]

[It means that there may be a way for single people to have children. I found a related record a while ago.]

If it were natural, it was a natural reaction.

The first person to tell her about this issue was none other than Cheon Ga-ryeong.

I had no way of knowing what exactly the two people had talked about at the time.

I can only roughly infer it from the words Cheon Ga-ryeong said in passing.

“For example, my younger brother. “It seems like my younger brother knew about this.”

“…….”

“Can I ask for a detailed explanation?”

Cheon Ji-ryeong, who nodded, explained what had happened so far and what investigation Hao Wen and Gao Jing had conducted at my request.

It took some time for Tang Seo-yeon to sort out her confused emotions.

“There are a few facts I learned from the records about the first Heavenly Demon found here. First of all, the first Heavenly Demon used mysterious supernatural powers in addition to martial arts. And the source of his heterogeneous abilities is the West.”

“West Station?”

“yes. “It is said that he left behind various items for later generations of demonic cultists, many of which were relics excavated from the West.”

The older the records of the past, the more absurd and exaggerated they were.

The records on the first Cheonma were also like that, so it was quite difficult to extract only the necessary information.

Without Simaun’s help, we would not have been able to get the clue so quickly.

[According to records, it appears that the priestess at the time protected the fetus from demonic energy in a special way.]

[I don’t know exactly what she did. Even though I searched through all the remaining records of what happened at that time, I couldn’t find anything. I’m just speculating that it may have something to do with witchcraft that was said to have been prevalent in the distant past.]

[This is the point. If it is possible to protect the fetus from demonic energy for more than half a year, wouldn’t it also be possible to protect the fetus from poisonous energy?]

Cheon Ga-ryeong said.

There may be an object or method that can protect the fetus from the poison accumulated in the body of a poisonous person.

“To conclude, there is a way. “It is said that among the legacies left behind by the first Heavenly Demon, there was an item with such power.”

“Really?”

“But there is one piece of bad news.”

“……?”

“Now that object is gone and does not exist. “They say that a demonic priestess disappeared into the backwaters of history and her whereabouts soon became unknown.”

Tang Seo-yeon’s face, which was filled with anticipation, cracked.

I continued explaining without paying attention to her reaction.

“Like all objects, there is a hypothesis that the legacy of the first Heavenly Demon has reached the end of its lifespan, and there is also a hypothesis that the Demon Cultist at the time discarded related items in order to shake off the remnants of the past when the priestess existed.”

“…….”

“Either way, it seems clear that the item no longer exists in Jungwon land.”

“is that so.”

Tang Seo-yeon let out a long sigh and drew a bitter smile on her lips.

As the expectations were high, the disappointment was also great.

“Even though I didn’t get any results, I’m grateful that they worked hard for me.”

“Who says that? “There is no result.”

“yes? Just now…”

“I clearly said that that item does not exist in the central region. And the place where the cult leader is presumed to have obtained the item is the West Station.”

“…!”

“Do you remember the promise you made with me earlier on the way to Haenampa?”

[There are many places I want to go with Sojeo.]

After the war with the Demonic Cult was over and the scattered problems were resolved, I was thinking about going on a trip with Tang Seo-yeon.

The road back and forth may be long and rough, but I thought the fact that the travel destination was the West Station would have its own charm.

You will be able to encounter unique cultures, food, and people.

“You don’t have to do that for me.”

“I will tell you in advance, Sozer does not have the right to veto. “In case you have forgotten, Sozer has not yet paid off the debt he owes me.”

[With this, Sohyeop can tell me three wishes.]

I wonder if he remembered the conversation we had while exchanging drinks with him on the ferry.

Tang Seo-yeon made an indescribable expression.

‘I don’t want to force it.’

If she didn’t do this, she would never be able to let go of her heavy heart.

She wasn’t like that when interacting with other people, but she showed a particularly cautious attitude when dealing with me.

I knew that despite her bold and fierce appearance, she was a woman with a soft side.

“one more. Sojeo is not the only reason I want to go to the West Station.”

“What does that mean?”

“Perhaps we can find a way to solve the fundamental problem of the White Lightning God Art.”

Not only Tang Seo-yeon but also Cheon Ji-ryeong looked surprised.

Both women had heard of me.

Although White Thunder Godkong is an unparalleled mental technique, it is also a martial art that has a significant disadvantage.

Considering only the fact that it is impossible to learn the mind method without being a master, Cheonreimun was bound to be a sect that would find it difficult to survive, let alone revive.

‘Honestly, I’m not very interested in nurturing successors who will inherit the martial arts skills of a monk.’

As a disciple, I wanted to solve the teacher’s concerns and conflicts.

Right now, I’m only following a glimmer of hope, but I might be able to see a path if I get in touch with various studies in the West that are comparable to the martial arts of the Central Plains.

“So, Sozer, even if you don’t like it, I need you to accompany me on my journey.”

“Is there anything you wouldn’t like?”

Tang Seo-yeon bowed her head and slightly trembled.

I smiled in satisfaction as I watched her wipe her eyes with her sleeve.

It was then.

Cheon Ga-ryeong, who cleared her throat to attract attention, looked straight at me and said.

“Take me too.”

“……uh?”

“I’ve wanted to go there at least once for a long time. West Station.”

I ended up making a blank expression.

What is this woman saying all of a sudden?

It was not a decision to be made lightly, as if going on an outing.

I knew how long it would take to get to West Station.

“Let me tell you, you don’t have the right to veto.”

“what do you mean?”

“You promised, right? “He said he would grant me anything I ask for.”

I burst out laughing out of embarrassment.

As I watched her copying the same words she had said to Seo-yeon Dang a moment ago and using them on me, I was so shocked that I was speechless.

[If there is anything you want from me, tell me. I will grant you any wish.]

[I will grant your wish?]

[Yes.]

I did make that promise to Cheon Ga-ryeong, who saved Tang Seo-yeon from almost being killed by the Demon Lord.

I never thought it would come back like this.

“You weren’t planning on going to West Station just the two of us, were you?”

“Not really.”

“Then it won’t be a problem.”

I scratched my cheek with a nervous expression.

As Cheon Ga-ryeong said, it wasn’t just the two of them trying to move.

If we could go on a private trip just the two of us, it would be great, but wouldn’t the destination be the West Station?

If you were not properly prepared and organized, the trip could have turned into an ordeal.

“For your information, I know how to use the language and script of the Western region. “You won’t lose anything by taking me.”

If what Cheon Ji-ryeong said was true, I had no reason to refuse her request.

Rather, it was a situation where even a request on my part would not be enough.

Competent and trustworthy talent.

If such a person were willing to step forward and become a companion, why would there be any reason to refuse?

Additionally, with Hao Wen’s help, it would have been easy to obtain information from merchants traveling between the West and the Central Plains.

It will be much easier to achieve your goal.

“……”

Cheon Ji-ryeong looked back at Tang Seo-yeon with a provoking gaze.

The two women’s gazes crossed.

It felt like sparks were flying in the empty air.

The two people who were engaged in a strange fight turned their heads at the same time as if they had made a promise.

“Foot.”

Dang Seo-yeon smiles while covering her mouth.

He looked somehow happy.

She soon calmed her expression and spoke to me in a bright voice.

“For example, if my younger brother goes with me, I won’t be bored. “I agree.”
