Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 567
[Episode 567] To Hanam.
The point at which the shaman is in the middle of recovering from work.
Immediately after sending the children away, only Geomhu and Ubongchwigae remained.
The swordsman waited patiently for Wu Bongqiui’s words, and the old man looked at her and opened his mouth.
“It’s been a while since I saw you.”
How many encounters? If not, ten years would easily have passed.
After the Shinryongdae incident, the swordsman hadn’t met Woobongchwigae.
“long time no see. Ark.”
“So, how have you been?”
Geomhu laughed slightly at Wu Bongchwigae’s words.
“Don’t you already know everything?”
“Holhol…”
Woobongchwigae let out a shallow laugh at the finely thorny words.
That’s what it says.
Most of the things that happen in this world must be known to Woobongchwigae.
There are many beggars in the world.
Because all those beggars became the eyes and ears of Woobongchwigae.
“Oh, I’m asking because I’m worried about my heart, so don’t hate it too much.”
The swordsman just took a sip of tea without answering.
Seeing this, Woobongchwigae makes a bitter expression.
“still. You seem to hate it very much.”
“Not really. Because a lot of time has passed.”
“If…”
“Just for the sake of the members of the past. I just think that you shouldn’t change your mind easily.”
“…”
There was a coolness that was different from when the children were around.
“…okay.”
Woobongchwigae just held back his words as if resigned to the appearance of such a swordsman.
There is nothing to spit out.
At least the swordsman and himself would have nothing more to say after seeing the swordsman.
“As for the children, I thank the ark.”
“What did you mean?”
“Thank you for letting me go without being caught.”
It was a story about sending children who didn’t know more lightly without asking more.
If Woobongchwigae wanted to do it, he could have done more in the name of interrogation.
He didn’t.
This is probably what was passed after seeing the post-mortem. of course.
“There are things that are right in the circumstances.”
When summing up the reports received in a short moment.
The biggest reason was that the children were judged to be innocent.
also.
“Besides, it was something I could have asked Soi.”
She was in a situation where she knew long ago that Ubongchwigae had affairs with Swordsman.
Because I thought he wouldn’t have created this situation otherwise.
It didn’t matter. Rather, it was something that the swordsmith also wanted.
“Before that, there is something I would like to ask you. Ark.”
“Tell me.”
“Maybe it was because of me that you moved to the shaman?”
The reason why the owner of the busy opening came all the way to the shaman.
Maybe it’s because of himself after the sword. That’s what I questioned.
“hmm.”
Woobongchwigae, who heard the words, tilted his head for a moment and then replied to Geomhu.
“It is not.”
It was negative.
“This is also what the head of the clan requested…”
Wu Bongchwigae, who was about to go on with his backstory, shut his mouth for a moment. It seems that there is something you shouldn’t say.
“Anyway… Soi. It is not that you have business to do.”
“All right.”
The swordsman did not show any particular reaction to that answer.
It took some backbiting, but I was sure that even if I asked, they wouldn’t listen.
“If the answer is yes, now. May I also get to the point?”
“Tell me. I will listen.”
Ugh-!
With Woobongchwigae’s words, I felt the air around me rise.
“The shaman was smashed to pieces. I was so proud of it, and it looked so good.”
“…the ark.”
At those words, Sword Hu frowned.
“A person has died. Can’t you express it that way?”
Even if Woobaek and Jicheol weren’t the ones who liked Swordsman.
I didn’t like it very much to say that about the dead.
“You are still kind.”
“…I just.”
“However, if you knew what they meant by living, you wouldn’t come out here either.”
“…”
Woobongchwigae always knew more than anyone else.
This was the case even now.
“Now ask me what you wanted to ask. cow.”
“…yes.”
“Tell me about the man who attacked the shaman. I heard you saw it up close.”
At the question of Wu Bong Chwi-gae, Geomhu had to feel a little bloated inside.
Thinking about him who suddenly appeared.
That alone was enough to make me feel so uncomfortable.
Blue eyes that could be seen through the mask.
A ghastly aura that emanated from it.
Even the presence that makes even the surrounding air heavy just by standing there.
It was the first time he felt like a swordsman.
There was something he said while introducing himself.
“Heavenly Demon…”
Woobongchwigae, who heard the story, whispered his nickname in a low voice.
“Is this someone you know?”
“It’s a name you’ve been hearing often lately.”
It was a name that was heard slowly from the end of the midfield.
That was the name the person who single-handedly attacked the Murim Maeng branch spit out.
heavenly horse
‘A devil descended from the sky.’
At first, I thought that some incompetent person would do something unworthy of poetry, but when things came to this point, it was something that even a Ubong-chwigae had to think about sensitively.
Even if it goes all the way to the Murimmaeng branch.
Including the fact that this time in Guangdong province.
The Hwagyeong-class soldiers who lost their lives in the incident have become two today.
together.
‘The shaman was attacked.’
This time, one of the old file rooms and the leader’s private office were even attacked.
Even the culprit could not be caught and missed.
From Maeng’s point of view, it would be quite difficult.
If there are more problems here.
“Did you say you tamed a monster?”
“yes. It seemed so.”
The existence of the Heavenly Demon is taming the monsters.
That too. A monster at the level of a red monster.
Even if rumors spread, this would have an enormous impact.
The current situation is that even green monsters cannot be properly tamed.
He tried endlessly in the field, but never succeeded.
Even now, it is said that the experiment is being carried out in secret. It is still a point of no change.
in such a situation.
‘To think that a person who is hostile to the alliance can tame a monster.’
It is also a red monster class that can be hunted only when a large number of peak warriors gather.
This just wouldn’t be a dangerous situation.
“Except for the Heavenly Demon. He said there were others.”
“From my point of view, there was only one other than the Heavenly Demon. There was.”
Before the appearance of the Heavenly Demon, the giant who appeared in the shaman first and overpowered it.
He seemed to be a subordinate of the Heavenly Demon. He looked at the Heavenly Demon and called him Guru.
“Are you the leader…”
Woobongchwigae focused on the word. It was a word that was not often used in the midfield.
One thing can be known from the words and the situation in which they were heard.
‘It’s not a single body, it’s a force. The fact that its power is absolutely not small.’
and.
‘That he clearly has hostility towards the Murim Meng.’
Ubongchwigae, who had cleaned up to that point, sighed inwardly.
Is it at this time?
Although it is a time when many changes are coming, it is said to be an era of upheaval.
If it was a mediocre existence that even such an existence appeared here, I would have passed it lightly with an appropriate attitude.
‘Did they say it was transcendence?’
If the swordsman, not anyone else, had judged it that way, there was a high possibility that it was true.
The story is different if it is a warrior who has reached transcendence beyond the hwagyeong.
Even if they were picked from the midfield, they were not over twenty.
There were also people who lived quietly away from the world.
There were also people who lived while hiding their powers. There were also people who expressed the opposite, as if trying to protect their strong self-respect.
One thing in common here.
All of them are treated like walking natural disasters.
in this situation.
It is not enough that a new transcendental world has appeared. If you have a vast power.
‘It’s a crisis.’
This could not be the crisis of the Murimmaeng.
In the complicated situation, Wu Bongchwigae tries to hide his expression and tells the swordsman.
“Thank you for telling me.”
“…Are you okay with my lack of words?”
“I’ll have to ask the other eyewitnesses. It was definitely a big help.”
“Thank you.”
Woobongchwigae slowly raised his body. Swordsman also moved accordingly.
“Because I have also conveyed the message to the lord. This won’t make you uncomfortable.”
“What is that…?”
“A raid on nobles. I received a definite answer from the head of the lord that he would not make things complicated by this.”
“…!”
“Rather, he came to the shaman and suffered damage, so talk to Dohwa separately about the agreement.”
Wu Bongqiui brought up the story of Maehwaseon, and Swordsman slightly bowed his head and bowed to him.
“…thank you for watching.”
“Holhol… it’s the first time I see your face. You should do something like this.”
Saying so, Woobongchwigae took the first step.
Woobongchwigae, who turned around, was in a state where the unique comfort had disappeared.
The protruding pupils under the long eyebrows are sharp.
‘Is it the Heavenly Demon?’
In the time that is barely putting the pieces together.
I repeat the name of the unwelcome typhoon.
Not good.
I guess I should have known in advance.
“…I need to contact Sinan, yes.”
The Shinryongdae must be re-established as soon as possible.
Thinking so, Woo Bong Chwigae continued to walk.
The direction to go was where Shaman Geomseon, the owner of Maeng, was.
******************
One day in the spring.
At the Hanam branch of Baekhwa Sangdan, someone was moving briskly.
With her long legs, every time she moves lightly, the delicate fragrance of flowers passes by.
The scent of flowers spreads around with the unknown cool wind.
Those who saw this bowed their heads and greeted the woman.
“Meet the branch manager.”
“Meet the branch manager…!”
A woman passed by, waving lightly to those who were bowing.
Seeing the back of such a woman, many expressed admiration.
“Hey… the branch manager is beautiful today too.”
“Iknow, right. You seem to be particularly pretty today.”
“When were you not pretty?”
“That’s right too.”
The men continue to speak with a dumbfounded expression.
It had to be. The newly assigned Hanam branch manager last year was too young for the men to see.
It was so beautiful.
even.
“I don’t know if you are pretty. Aren’t you doing well?”
“I heard that it takes a long time to become Lee Rip. How can you be so competent…”
Now I heard that you are barely in your mid-twenties.
The new head of the Hanam branch was particularly competent.
Originally, the Hanam branch selected only outstanding talent from the Baekhwa Company and placed them in the position of branch manager.
This time, I heard that it was the best ever.
In the midst of such conversations, a man adds a comment.
“You weren’t famous before, were you? It must be more so since you are from the four generations.”
“Oh hey, what a man. Should I strike a candle here?”
“No, because it is special. I wondered why a person named Six Dragons, Sambong, from the four generations, came to Baekhwa Sangdan.”
At those words, those who were beside them fell silent.
Because it was something everyone was curious about.
at that time.
“Oh, I’ve heard of that.”
The young man who was diligently moving the paperwork pretended to know and listened.
Their eyes are all focused. The young man was the youngest in the Hanam branch.
“You heard? what?”
“That’s why the branch manager came to Baekhwa Sangdan.”
“How did you hear that?”
When everyone asked as if they were surprised, the young man said with a calm expression.
“I heard because I asked.”
“You asked…? To whom…?”
“To the branch manager.”
Everyone looked at the maknae in amazement at the answer they heard.
“…That guy is pretty crazy. You asked for that…?”
“Can’t I ask…?”
“Hey, everyone, stop talking. I need to get rid of it now. Looking at it, I can’t seem to get enough of it…”
“Yes? What are you talking about?”
The seniors said what the youngest meant, but asked back. The seniors tried hard to ignore the words of the youngest.
He looked like he was going to go to another branch soon, so I had to keep my affections away even now.
“Anyway… So what did the branch manager say?”
The youngest was making a face full of embarrassment.
Fortunately, the answer was given.
“What did he say…ah.”
The maknae seemed to have come to mind and quickly continued talking.
He said
[I am taking lessons for my daughter-in-law.]
The men who heard this had to put on a grotesque expression as a group.
yet.
“Hey! The person I believed in is an asshole!”
“Is it a lie to ask? Eh tsk tsk.”
“yes…?”
“Isn’t the branch manager supposed to have said something like that? This guy is very scolded.”
“No, really…”
“Shut up and do your job. I wasted my time, tsk tsk.”
“…”
The youngest had to put on an unfair expression after hearing a lot of angry voices from the men.
Leaving that youngest behind.
The young branch manager went to the hurried pace and was facing someone.
Sarak.
The head of the Baekhwa Sangdan Hanam branch in the sound of flipping books. Mo Yong-hee carefully bowed toward her opponent.
“Meet the Dan Lord.”
At the well-arranged greeting, the person sitting at the table raised his head.
“How have you been.”
It was a cold tone with little emotion.
“yes. Sovereign Lord.”
The person Mo Yong-hee is facing is none other than Mi Hyo-ran, the owner of Baekhwa Merchant.
Mi Hyo-ran organizes the books she was holding and continues to talk to Mo Yong-hee.
“The results are good. You’ve done this much for half a year. It’s amazing.”
“…Thank you.”
Mo Yong-hee swallowed dry saliva while watching Mi Hyo-ran.
I learned something from her over the past few years.
The fact that Mi Hyo-ran spoke good words from the beginning meant that there were more words prepared after that.
“but.”
just as expected. Mi Hyo-ran spits out words while looking at Mo Yong-hee.
“There are a few problems with the reported story. There is something I regret about the handling.”
“…If you tell me, I will correct it.”
“Words aren’t enough, I’ll organize this part separately and give it to you sometime tomorrow. Please look at it slowly.”
Hearing Mi Hyo-ran’s story, Mo Yong-hee sighed inwardly.
I thought I had handled it perfectly. In Mihyoran’s eyes, it seemed that there was still something lacking.
It was just regrettable.
Perhaps he read something from Mo Yong-hee’s expression, Mi Hyo-ran smiles and says without anyone knowing.
“by the way. They said it was over the wall. Is that right?”
Mo Yong-hee raises her eyes as if surprised by Mi Hyo-ran’s words.
Because I didn’t think she would know.
In fact, Mo Yong-hee was at the peak of her career about three months ago.
It was a feat achieved shortly after starting training again.
“Ah… that’s right.”
“congratulation. You seem to have worked hard even in busy situations.”
“Thank you.”
Mo Yong-hee endured the corner of her mouth trying to sneak up on Mi Hyo-ran’s praise.
I didn’t dare to show ugliness. Especially in front of her.
at that time. Mi Hyo-ran gives something to Mo Yong-hee.
“It’s not even a congratulatory gift… but I have something to give to the branch manager.”
“yes?”
Growing her already widened eyes, Mo Yong-hee accepted the letter.
“It’s important. Can you?”
“ah! sure. You can.”
At Mi Hyo-ran’s words to make her work, Mo Yong-hee laughed happily.
The reason Mi Hyo-ran orders important things is because she trusts the other person.
This was a way of ‘recognition’.
Looking at Mi Hyo-ran, Mo Yong-hee opened the letter as if she was happy, and soon checked the letter…
Stopped.
I had to stop my actions while looking at the contents of the letter and the seal embedded in it.
He then looked at Mi Hyo-ran.
“…Sweet Lord. Is this…?”
Mo Yong-hee looks at Mi Hyo-ran with trembling eyes.
I couldn’t help it.
The seal at the end of the letter was the seal of the North Sea Ice Palace.
In addition, the content of the book was also a problem.
That is the content.
Along with the news that the little princess of the North Sea Ice Palace is looking for Jungwon.
It was about wanting to entrust the guidance to the Baekhwa Association, not the Moorim Meng.
