Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 144

—————————————

[ Martial Arts Tournament (8) – Uncle! ]

Namgoong-hyeon also easily passed the preliminaries.

After overwhelmingly defeating two opponents in a row, no one came up to the off-stage in the third turn.

When Namgoong Hyun passed the preliminaries and came off the stage, whistles and cheers poured out from the men in the audience.

“Limhyeon Sojeo!”

“Please look this way just once!”

“Accept my heart!”

Men were already giving Namgung-hyeon nicknames such as the world’s best mini-geombong and fairy.

The great man spoke as if teasing her.

“All I have is a star name praising her for being pretty. “Would you like to choose one of them?”

“no, I do not want.”

Namgoonghyun shook his head with a sullen expression. I didn’t like the fact that I was evaluated based on my appearance rather than my skills.

“It was better when it was a chivalrous double sword.”

The two people who passed the preliminary round planned to go straight back to the guesthouse where they were staying.

However, leaving the Murim Alliance was not an easy task.

When the two people – especially Dae-in – caused a surprise and emerged as candidates for the championship, people started talking to them from all over.

“If it’s okay with you, I’d like a cup of tea for a moment…”

“Nice to meet you. I am the president of the Hanam Yongbong Association, a group of late Hanam exponents…”

“Sojeo! I am Geum Yeong-ho, the eldest son of the Geum family! If we speak with our golden words….”

“Daehyup. ” If you stay at our base for a few days, you can get all the alcohol and beautiful women for free…” Not

only the martial people but also all kinds of beggars were attached to the two people.

It wasn’t surprising.

Daein defeated Hwasan Shinseong, who was one of the contenders for the championship, and

Namgoonghyun easily passed the preliminaries and had outstanding beauty that belied her skill.

‘Both of our names will become quite famous before today passes.’

So, it was natural that flies would be attracted to try to create even a small relationship with the two people.

Of course, I had no intention of welcoming a swarm of flies.

‘I can’t tell everyone to shut up…’

Daein maintained a pretentious smile because he planned to maintain his fearless image until he won the Yongbongbimu.

“sorry. “Because we are busy.”

However, the flies were persistent, and Daein did not necessarily want to exercise much patience with them.

That was when the two decided to make a suitable excuse and use a new law to quickly escape.

“You two have to prepare for the finals, so everyone step aside!”

A group of warriors approached with powerful voices and chased away the annoying swarms of flies.

They were warriors of the Murim Alliance.

A handsome young man walking in front smiled softly and spoke to the great man.

“Have you ever felt disillusioned when you see people’s attitudes changing as soon as they become famous?”

“It can’t be. It’s just that it’s my first time seeing this kind of attention, so I’m a little confused. By the way, we are spherical.”

When the elder pretended to know first, the young man widened his eyes.

“Do you remember me?”

Every time I remember.

Daein was one of the most memorable people among the martial arts people he met when he arrived at Gaebong.

“I remember that you gave passes to the martial arts people when they came into the theater.”

When Daein said that, Cheongwoon, deputy head of the Murim Alliance Biryongdang, grinned.

“Then, do you remember that you said you came to the opening for the simple purpose of sightseeing?”

“haha. It just so happened that it happened that way. Are you here to catch me for lying?”

Cheongwoon burst out laughing as Daein was acting rude.

“Puh-ha! Then how did you happen to participate in the Yongfengbimu and defeat the Hwasan God?”

When Daein gave an ambiguous smile, Cheongwoon stopped laughing and formally offered to shake his hand.

“This is Cheongwoon, deputy head of the Murim League’s Biryongdang. By order of my lord, I will escort you to the place where you are staying. The horse is an escort. “All we can do is make sure there are no annoying people who cling to us.”

‘Cheongun?’

At that moment, a star sign appeared in Daein’s mind, but he put it aside for now and gave strength to his joined hands.

“I am a landlord. “Thank you to the Murim Alliance for their consideration.”

“I have to give this much to someone who might become the new star of the martial arts world.”

Cheongwoon was a man with a pleasant personality.

The two of them talked quite a bit as they headed to the dorm with him.

“I was fooled, didn’t I?” Obviously, prayers were barely visible at that time… haha. Of course, it’s because my skills are immature.”

“I also participated in the Yongbongbi dance. Please take good care of me when I meet you in the finals. “Can’t you blow it up like that friend Young Ho-sik?”

“There are five candidates being mentioned as winners.”

“The recent movements of the Demonic Cult are unusual. Just like the beacon fire not long ago, all the soldiers of the Maeng Dynasty are mobilizing and putting their heads together to unravel the letters.”

“yes? “You don’t know that text?”

Cheongwoon gave the two people a lot of information.

Among the Yongbongbimu participants, those who are considered candidates for the championship and those who need to be wary of others.

Recent trends in the Demonic Cult and the Murim Alliance’s response plans, etc.

And,

“On the day when the beacon in the shape of a strange bird lit up, these letters appeared above the strange bird’s head.”

Cheongwoon drew letters on the floor with the sheath of his sword.

The text that had been passed through the hands of many people had deteriorated considerably compared to the first time.

ㅁㅏ ㅈ ㄱ ㅆ iI

“This is truly a strange letter. “All the supposedly smart military are there to interpret it, but they are not able to produce any clear results.”

“Hmm…”

Daein tilted his head as he looked at the text.

‘Strangely enough, it’s my first time seeing this article, but it feels familiar.’

But I soon lost interest.

‘Well, it has nothing to do with me.’

Even if all the martial arts people were paying close attention to the movements of the Demonic Cult, Daein had no reason to do so.

Because I was planning to return to Earth before the Great Demon War began. Therefore, information about the Demonic Cult went in one ear and passed out through the other.

After a while, they arrived at the accommodation where Daein and Namgung-hyeon were staying.

Cheongwoon attacked the two men.

“Then let’s go back.”

“Thank you for helping me in a difficult situation.”

“haha. no. “It was an honor to host you both.”

Cheongwoon was a polite yet confident man. Also, he didn’t approach the two with the same purpose as the others.

He just had curiosity and interest in the two people.

“If you don’t mind, I’d love to have a drink next time.”

“Of course.”

The great man also nodded willingly. It’s just that he didn’t want to be the target of trouble, but he also wanted to make some good martial arts friends.

“Then let’s promise what happens next. “That’s enough for us.”

The warriors of Cheongun and Biryongdang returned. The great man looked at his back for a moment.

‘The future best person in the world was in a place like this.’

***

When I entered the room, Old Man Manbak and Old Man Jin arrived first.

As if they had already heard that the two had passed the preliminary round, a generous meal was already set out on the table.

“You guys! “Why are you so late!”

The two old men’s faces were turning red, as if they were already having a drink among themselves. There was a strong smell of alcohol.

“Cluck cluck! Hey!”

The old man couldn’t hold back his laughter and asked the great man.

“Is it true that you made a member of the Hwasan Sect into a eunuch? “Why did you do that?”

The great man shrugged his shoulders and answered. The two old men had no reason to lie.

“He was giggling at Hyun.”

“What? Puhahaha! Well done you guy! You should have seen it in person…”

As if it was fun just imagining it, Manbaknogoe held his stomach and laughed.

On the other hand, Old Man Jin looked very moved.

“For our Hyeon…”

Old man Jin’s face was as red as a jujube, as if he hadn’t even used his inner strength to push away the alcohol.

“You are our benefactor! And my Hyeon and I are a match made in heaven! “I recognized you from the first time I saw you?”

“Grandpa, are you drunk?”

Namgoonghyeon sat next to old man Jin and nagged him.

However, Old Man Jin did not even listen to what his granddaughter said and looked at the great man with a sad gaze.

“From today onwards, I will call you my grandson-in-law. “You know what that means, right?”

“grandfather!”

“this guy! If my Hyeon makes tears come to his eyes, I will…”

“Grandpa!!”

Namgoonghyun screamed and covered his grandfather’s mouth. Old man Jin seemed quite drunk.

The great man asked as he sat down in front of Manbaknogoe.

“Did the two of you go well?”

While Daein and Namgunghyeon were attending the martial arts competition and taking part in the Yongbongbimu preliminary round, the

two old men infiltrated the martial arts alliance and performed a mission.

“Cluck. Don’t even talk to me, you idiot. The warriors were so tightly guarded by the bizarre techniques and strange techniques. “I almost got caught because of that guy.”

“What? older brother! “Thanks to my ability to lure the warriors, I was able to lift the ki-hwanjin!”

“shut up. And since when am I your older brother?”

It seemed like Old Man Jin’s liver had suddenly come out of his stomach.

“Huh. We are in a situation where we are growing old together…”

“…This guy must be really drunk? Hyuna. Take that guy and lay him down. And when you wake up, tell me to come to you.”

“Wow! “It’s not like I’m making a campaign just because I’m older and more skilled in martial arts!”

“grandfather. “What are you going to do later?”

Namgoong-hyeon, whose face turned white, picked up Old Man Jin and took him out of the room. The great man expressed his condolences in advance to him tomorrow.

After a while, only the great man and the old man were left in the room.

There was silence for a very moment.

“Cluck. okay. “I brought it, but…”

The old man smiled bitterly and presented the documents he had stolen from the Murim Alliance to Daein.

They were documents containing information related to the extinction of the Geomhwangmun 15 years ago.

“How are you going to use it?”

Is it an illusion that Manbaknogoe’s voice is heavier than usual?

The great man said, putting the documents aside.

“I don’t really plan on doing anything right now. “First of all, it’s for insurance purposes.”

“insurance?”

“Because you never know what might happen later.”

Daein knew that Namgung Jeongcheon was suspicious of them. And that he won’t stay still.

‘It would be nice if you could stay calm until the Yongbongbimu is over, but…’

In any case, as long as you take the Changcheon Shingeom, your business in the martial arts world will be over. Then, I planned to return to Earth with the group here.

But what if Namgung Jeongcheon tries to do something before that?

‘At that time, I would use all the means I could…’

I didn’t want it to turn into a big fight for no reason, but it was necessary to prepare as much as possible just in case.

“I’m also hoping to avoid using it as much as possible.”

“Cluck. Is that so…”

The great man noticed something strange and asked.

“Master. “Why is your expression like that from earlier?”

“What do I mean?”

“It’s strange that you’ve been making a drunken expression since a while ago.”

“You damn bastard. “With my speaking habits.”

‘It’s really strange. It’s normal for something to fly in by now.’

It wasn’t normal. Manbaknogoe’s voice was weak.

“Cluck. Hey. “Pour some drinks.”

Manbaknoge just smiled helplessly and continued to drink.

‘There’s something I couldn’t tell you. I think I want to say something secretly.’

The great man sighed lightly.

I wondered if I was now in a position to take care of not only children but also the elderly.

However, it was too uncomfortable to just pretend not to know.

“Master. “Would you like to try some alcohol from my hometown?”

“huh?”

“I’m saving this so I can take it out when I really want to eat it. “I’ll give you a special drink.”

The great man stretched out his hand, and his backpack, which had been lying on one side of the room, floated into the air.

The great man opened his backpack and put his hand inside it and said.

“This is called soju…”

The backpack brought from Earth was an artifact specially custom-made by Abraxas.

The interior is enchanted with space distortion, so it can hold as much items as a warehouse measuring 10 meters wide and 10 meters high, and it also has a refrigeration function, so if you put food inside, you can keep it cool without spoiling it.

It also had a function to block magical power, so even if a magic stone or artifact was placed inside, it would not be detected by the outside world.

“Where was the soju?…”

As he opened his backpack and took out the soju out of thin air, he saw something shiny in his field of vision.

“uh?”

The moment he saw that, Daein made a stupid noise without even realizing it.

And twice.

“…Uh huh?”

The great man reached out and took out the shiny object.

I always wore it, but recently I took it off for martial arts training.

[Guardian’s Bracelet]

The bracelet was shining brightly.

“Why is this… shiny?”

The great man’s eyes wavered. Actually, I knew it. Why does the bracelet sparkle?

There was only one reason why the bracelet reacted to magic like that.

‘…no way. no way.’

Although Daein denied that reality, he quickly took out another item from his bag.

A communication item given to me by Kiri before crossing the gate from Earth to Murim.

The great man breathed magical energy into the communication device with a fearful heart.

Jiiiing-!

The green light on the communicator came on and a blinking signal was acquired.

And after a while, a voice that should never be heard came from the communicator.

[…Are you sure? mister? Are you a man?!]

At that moment, Daein screamed.

“kid! Why are you here? No, where are you now!”

Daein wished that Lily was nearby. That way, I will go find it right away.

If that troublemaker collides with the martial arts people, you never know what might happen.

We have to bring him quickly….

[I am a member of the Heavenly Demon God Church here!]

“A million!”

Lily, unaware of others’ speed, spoke brightly.

[I made a lot of friends here!]
