The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 234
Episode 234
“You… you!”
“You’ll have to sit down.”
Soryo’s eyes hurriedly searched for Seolhong.
Seolhong is also afraid.
– Act confidently. Kwak Seong will dig in if Seolhong shows weakness.
Seolhong remembered Kang Seol’s words and looked at him. He casually went to stand behind the seat where Seolhong would sit.
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. My name is Seolhong.”
This was what Seolhong said as he sat down.
Soryo also followed Seolhong’s actions as much as possible.
“It’s beef sauce. “I am Yonghwa…”
As soon as he sat down at the table, Soryo’s shallow composure was immediately broken.
“What is this? “Brother Baeyu is dead.”
A dagger was stuck in Bae Yu’s chest, and blood was seeping out.
Anyone would be shocked if they realized that a dead body was sitting at the same table before they had even taken a sip while eating.
The reaction of the material was normal.
Seolhong’s reaction was abnormal.
“May I ask why there is a corpse occupying the seat?”
“Do you know someone?”
“Maybe so, maybe not.”
Kwak Seong, intrigued by Seolhong’s answer, twisted his mouth and asked.
“What do you mean?”
“If he died because he committed a big mistake, he would be someone I don’t know. If he died simply because of someone else’s whim, he would be someone I knew.”
If Bae Yu made a mistake, he would pretend not to notice, and if Kwak Seong killed him by mistake, he would find fault.
Seolhong was saying that without even shaking.
“That’s fun. “He made a big mistake.”
“Is that so? “What kind of mistake is it?”
“You dared threaten me. “Without even knowing what kind of situation I was in due to that humble position.”
“What about the content?”
“They told me to give up the arena. Either that or submit to the Khan Empire. “He even offered to give me a certain amount of money, but I was so embarrassed that I killed him.”
It could not be seen as Kwak Seong’s fault.
It was clearly Baeyu’s fault for not being able to identify his opponent and his own location.
Although the burden was excessive, the life of Yonghwa, who was currently fighting the war, was not that heavy.
Clatter…
clatter…
Meanwhile, Soryo was trembling.
It looked like he was going to faint at any moment due to the sight being so strange.
Sigh…
Under the table, Seolhong’s hand was folded over Soyo’s hand.
“….”
Strangely enough, that was enough to stop Soryo’s trembling and he did not throw away his hand.
“Miss, do you know about me?”
“He is the owner of the heart of a Kwakseong warrior and a talented person who has produced two conquerors. “It is the same as the Absolute One of Yocheon.”
“… What about the other parts?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if the girl dares to guess, are you talking about a secret story from the past?”
“You’re clever. “Do you know what happened to me?”
Bae Yu probably died because he didn’t know about it, or even if he knew, he didn’t even care.
“A khan official who was blinded by past success attempted to assassinate Gwak Seong, the owner of the arena at the time, and unfortunately, the conqueror Daesan died in the process.”
This is what Kang Seol said to Seol Hong.
Because he was a little-known secret priest, Toho of Liaocheon also knew about this and blocked Soryao from approaching Gwak Seong hastily.
“I know very well. “This guy here didn’t know.”
“Ignorance always accompanies trouble.”
“Hehehehe… That’s pretty good.”
Seolhong really spoke with Guo Sheng as equals. On the other hand, Soryo could not say anything and just kept his head down.
“Your Majesty, come here. “Let me introduce you to new people.”
“yes.”
Kang Seol looked at the man approaching Kwak Seong.
It is much smaller than Daesan.
But it was definitely strong.
‘He is a great powerhouse!’
If I were to compare it to a monster, I thought it would be someone who has reached the threshold of transcendental level.
The energy it gave off was amazing.
Showing all your energy means you are confident, and doing so in a situation like this could be said to be beyond arrogance and madness.
“Greetings, these people here are the damned children of Hongcheon and Yonghwa who came to steal the warrior’s heart from me.”
“….”
“….”
Seolhong and Soryo were embarrassed.
It seems that Bae Yu confessed all the facts.
If he had confessed, he would have survived, but failing at both was the height of incompetence.
“Treat me.”
“This is Seolhong.”
“It’s beef sauce…”
Daeha’s eyes fell on Kangseol.
“What about you?”
From the beginning, Daeha was only focused on Kang Seol.
“It’s snowing.”
Kwak Seong laughed like crazy.
“Okay… okay… it looks like everyone has no appetite, so let’s get to the point now.”
Sigh…
Kwak Seong placed both elbows on the table and asked.
“What do you want? “You little ones.”
“….”
“Are you trying to threaten this Kwak Seong like your brother? “Live for Khan?”
bang-!
When Kwak Seong hit the table, Soyo was startled.
“Hehe…”
“Are you also planning to involve me in some kind of trick, like a succession battle or something like that?”
“That’s it…”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss- For of course,
Gwakseong’s warriors began to fill in around him. It was a clear threat. Don’t let yourself get caught up in the fight anymore.
Soryo’s Yongseok put his hand on the sword, but could not pull it out.
“Answer me!”
Soryo trembled at Gwak Seong’s words and ended up saying this.
“I’ll quit. “I will stop…”
At that moment, the archivist’s voice came from somewhere.
“Sweet plum material Nakhwa (落花).”
At those words, Soryo’s face turned black.
Even so, I couldn’t stop talking. Because I didn’t want to die.
Now only Seolhong remains.
The excitement coming from the warriors around her would make you gasp, but she continued to bring chopsticks to her dishes.
“The food tastes good.”
“…is that you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Someone said it was you who spread the rumor in Yocheon.”
“….”
“What kind of humiliation did Daesan suffer… What kind of humiliation did people like you who know the world so lightly…”
The atmosphere became strange.
No, the atmosphere was actually strange from the beginning, so it would be fair to say that it became dangerous.
“I will kill you. “Answer me before that. Why are you doing this?”
“I can’t tell you.”
“… What does that mean?”
This is an imminent situation where even Snow Seol is on guard for fear that a battle will break out.
Seolhong gave the best answer she could right now.
“If you have something to say, take up arms.”
– If you have something to say, take up arms.
The reason why the warrior’s heart became great.
Seolhong cited the banner there.
Hearing those words, Kwak Seong was truly speechless for the first time in a long time.
“So… Could it be that those rumors were truly aimed at becoming the conqueror?”
Seolhong smiles.
Then Kwak Seong…
“Huh…”
laughed.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
“I will tell you my answer after the bloody battle is over.”
“hahahahahahahaha! Cough… Ahaha… Ahahahaha!”
Grrrr…
Kwak Seong got up from his seat.
“In three days.”
“3 days later.”
“The great river and the snowfall will meet in the heart of a warrior and engage in a battle of conquest. “What are you going to bet?”
“What about that one?”
“Yeah… everything.”
Druk…
Seolhong also got up from his seat.
“Yes, I will risk everything too.”
Sigh…
Kwak Seong smiled with all his teeth exposed.
“It feels like I can breathe for the first time in a long time. “Really… it’s been a while.”
After 3 days everything crashes.
Kwak Seong felt joy at the exhilaration.
* * *
Three days later, Kwak Seong left his residence.
Shoot…
a shower was coming.
The shower that day when Daesan was taken away.
But today I was in really good condition.
“Puhuh….”
“Let’s go.”
His Majesty the Conqueror followed him.
“Your Majesty….”
“Yes.”
“Are you confident?”
“You don’t fight with yourself.”
“… then?”
“We are fighting to protect the will of Gwak Seong.”
“….”
Kwak Seong looked at Daeha’s body for a moment.
Unlike Daesan, his body was weak from the moment he was brought in.
But now his body was full of muscles.
“Do you remember the day your brother left?”
“… I remember.”
“Your brother died because of me.”
“Adult Kwak Seong.”
The events of that day came to mind.
The newly appointed khan’s official wanted to take over everything in Liaocheon.
Even the interests of the warrior’s heart that should not be touched.
Of course, Guo Sheng did not give it up.
And that night, a large number of assassins were sent into Gwak Seong’s mansion.
… Stop it!
… Protect Adult Kwak Seong!
… Wow!
That night where there was a lot of screaming and shouting.
Daesan died after receiving the assassin’s sword instead of Kwak Seong.
“I tell you again and again, my brother would be proud of that death.”
“… why?”
“That’s right, brother…”
Daeha closed his mouth again.
The thoughts of the dead were not to be spoken out loud. Because it was disrespectful to the dead who passed away first.
“If you have something to say, take up arms. “I really like these words.”
“… me too.”
“These words changed my life completely. “This life of Kwak Seong, who was boring, changed everything when he entered the heart of a warrior with his brother.”
“My brother really liked that too.”
“Kkekekeke… Now that I think about it, it seems like your brother and I have quite a bit in common.”
“… Do you miss your brother?”
“no.”
“… You don’t have to lie to me.”
“ha ha ha! “Have you been caught?”
Kwak Seong was walking along when he stopped and looked at Daeha.
– Brother… I will follow in your footsteps!
– … jumbo shrimp.
– My brother… My brother is… His
Majesty said this to him who was devastated after Daesan died. He indeed succeeded Daesan and became a conqueror.
It was something like a miracle that happened, but somehow I felt like there was a void that could not be filled after Daesan disappeared.
It was truly strange.
I enjoyed the same life as before and regained my glory.
But it was a feeling I couldn’t explain.
“I am the only one who will succeed in my brother’s footsteps. “The truth will be revealed today.”
“Don’t die.”
“… yes?”
“Oh no…”
Kwak Seong was embarrassed by the words that had leaked out without his knowledge.
Why did he say this?
It should have been said, “Don’t lose,” not “Don’t die.”
“Let’s go soon.”
* * *
Shoot…
The warrior’s heart is already full, with no empty seats. As if that wasn’t enough, people kept coming in.
They forcefully created temporary seats to accommodate more people.
This is because what is happening now is rare even in the heart of a warrior.
A battle of conquest that has been taking place for the first time in a long time.
Daeha, the conqueror, accepted Kangseol’s challenge.
“What do you think, Shinyo?”
“You are already a conqueror. “Until now, even against numerous challengers, I have never once fought for more than a minute.”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-uping be the battle over whether the snowfall can stop time for 5 minutes or the crow can finish it within 1 minute.
“The technique he has learned delivers merciless blows without any pre-heating. Most people fail to respond to it and fail within a minute. On the other hand, Kang Seol has never shown anything special. “Maybe Snowfall will be defeated.”
“… I guess you’re more knowledgeable than I thought?”
“Hmm… I only read it because there was a scroll for sale at the entrance.”
“If I knew you liked it this much, I would have come often… I will come often from now on.”
“I don’t like it! But what do you think, Jangdu?”
“You mean what I think?”
Jangdu scratched his chin with his index finger and pondered.
“As expected, I think the king will win.”
“yes?”
“But there is one problem.”
“Something that catches?”
“Do you remember when I said earlier that I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary?”
“I remember.”
“I’m hiding something…”
“Snowfall? “Is he a talent worthy of that?”
“There’s something strange about the fight. It’s awkward, like a giant fighting in small shoes… I’ll try walking there.”
“Hoo…is it a bet?”
“Whoever loses will be on guard in the next camp.”
“I tend to sleep a lot… Plus, Yonghwa…”
“Where is the person who laughed at Bae Yu for dying while trying to impersonate Yonghwa in Yocheon?”
“good night! “I bet on the king.”
“haha! Start!”
Shoot…
It wasn’t a modern dome facility, so the spectators in the arena had to endure the falling rain. I tried to block the rain as much as possible with Taoist spells, but I still couldn’t avoid my clothes getting slightly wet.
Crumbling!
Lightning flashed.
Everyone burst into laughter at the thunder.
That’s how excited I was.
– Even the weather is blessing today! Isn’t that right?
“Shut up!”
“Does this seem like a blessing now!”
“Whahaha! Crazy bastard! “Let’s get started!”
– Ha ha ha ha ha! Today is the day that the battle of conquest unfolds, so please be a little lenient. Just! The gladiators are entering!
Challengers Kang Seol and Daeha appeared.
Today was the day to determine who among them was the true conqueror.
