Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 426
< Episode 426 > Long time no see.
Fortunately, the answer to the request given to the poison king was permission.
It wasn’t materialistic, it was just that I wanted to see the famous lake in that house, so there shouldn’t be any reason to refuse.
Why did the king make such a request? However
, he added that
the lake itself is treated as a precious object by the party… and since the lake itself is made of poison, it can be quite dangerous, so a servant is attached.
‘Danger is just for surveillance.’
This is the sea I was expecting so far.
Being monitored would be a little annoying, but this was also within the assumption.
Sigh.
As I get closer, Dangdeok sitting on the wall gets up.
It was because of the order not to do anything nonsense and to remain crooked.
“sit down.” After receiving the order
“…”
Dangdeok sits down on the wall again.
“Didn’t anything strange happen?”
-…No.
“Did you not see the monster?”
– I didn’t see it.
Hearing Dangdeok’s short reply, he sighed slightly.
The monsters that overflowed during the day were rather gone at night.
‘I think it was an unusual situation earlier.’
Why did that happen?
still not figured out
If I had to guess…
‘Is it because of the red monster?’
The enemy investigator who was in the water at that time. It was most likely because of him.
“Hmm…”
Anyway, whenever I try to do something, it doesn’t come off easily.
It’s like shit. Very.
I tried to suppress my irritated nerves and looked at Dangdeok.
Eyes still full of anger.
Even if he became a demon and became my slave, that temper didn’t seem to die.
Of course, it could be that he wasn’t properly corrupted because he was a soldier of Hwagyeong.
It was because he remembered that at least when Dangdeok was King Nok, he couldn’t budge from the Heavenly Demon.
I looked him in the eyes and smiled.
“It looks very unfortunate.”
“…”
“Sure. I should have lived a little better.”
fast.
Hearing my words, Dangdeok gnashed his teeth and sharpened his blade, but at that moment, the controlling power in his body oppressed him.
“Kkeudeuk…”
The pain felt in the heart was significant. Dangdeok salivates.
I thought to myself while watching it.
‘In the end, he doesn’t choose death.’
Even though Dangdeok was going through this cruel thing, he did not choose death in the end.
Do you want revenge so much?
Or are you afraid of death?
Neither the former nor the latter is a bad thing to me. If I wanted to die, I would have let go.
Ah, letting go means letting go to die.
It is true that Dangdeok is a useful power that will be needed in the future. If I did that, I had no intention of stopping it.
However, looking at it now, he doesn’t seem to want to die easily.
Probably aiming for the moment to get away from me.
Looking at this, he was a man with a strong will.
‘This guy is also this guy… I have to put in one more task before we get to the gate.’
The eyes and ears that Dangdeok sent to the Tangmen.
I was thinking about when to take care of it, but…
As I was thinking about him, a useful thought crossed my mind.
I just came up with a good method.
******************
Four days have passed since we started crossing the river.
Originally, it would have arrived within two days, but it took longer than expected because of the incident where the monster appeared and the roads were twisted around for safe transportation.
If it wasn’t for this, there would have been time left even if we had
arrived at the gate long ago.
From here, the carriages of the three families were not prepared separately, so the party and the clan supported the carriages.
Is it because we arrived at the land of Sacheon, and that is also where the influence of the Tang Dynasty can reach?
It feels like the size of the wagon has gotten much bigger.
It probably means that we have entered the realm of stability. It wasn’t a bad thing.
“I think we have about five days left.”
Mo Yong-hee, who rode in the same carriage, said while gently waving her fan.
“Maybe that’s about it. It will be as short as three days.”
“…are you used to it?”
“What do you feel?”
He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Jiri knew only a little about it because he had wandered around so much in his previous life. At this distance, it would have been a few days.
If I was in a hurry, I might arrive earlier, but I probably wouldn’t. Because of the character of a poison king, he seemed to want things done properly no matter how urgent it was.
It was okay because I was not in a hurry because I was spending my spare time anyway.
‘…No, honestly, I don’t have time. What can I do?’
I had to pretend to be relaxed.
I want to rest for a while, so I close my eyes, so I can hear Mo Yong-hee’s voice.
“Confucius.”
“huh?”
“What do you think will happen in the future?”
“Um…”
I opened my eyes at those words and looked at Mo Yong-hee.
From time to time, Mo Yong-hee would ask me about this.
Let’s ask another person why.
…I don’t know.
well?
I do not know!
It was obvious that he would spit the same answer, and it would have to be Cheol Ji-seon, who was smart enough, to have a conversation with Mo Yong-hee at a level.
It felt like Mo Yong-hee was a little farther away from the steel wire.
When I asked her why she kept her distance out of pity for her.
She said this with a somewhat cold expression.
-Because I don’t really like nerdy people.
“…”
I feel like even I was hurt by that resolute statement.
When I heard this, Cheol Ji-seon wasn’t around, but I felt sorry for some reason, so I went to visit him later and brought him something sweet.
When I gave her something to eat, Cheol Ji-seon made a disgusted face.
-why…? Where else are you going to throw me!?
After saying the same thing, he ran away.
A person went to the best of times and gave it
to me, but this bastard…
I haven’t been bothered lately, but it seems that I’m getting a little bit of flesh.
This needed some discipline.
huh? Are you friends?
Originally, you spend your time fighting with each other.
‘It’s one-sided, because I’m the one hitting it.’
The personal things go beyond.
Anyway, if Mo Yong-hee-ah looked around for a conversation like this, I was the only one left, so she sometimes brings up these words.
Of course…
‘…it’s not easy for me to have a conversation like this.’
Mo Yong-hee is a smart woman.
Even if it wasn’t as much as the brain of the Demonic Cult. It was a talent to be recognised in this field.
Conversation with her is a bit difficult for me.
‘If I hadn’t had the experience of my previous life, I wouldn’t have had anything to share.’
I don’t think I’m ignorant, but it’s not enough brain to have an enterprising conversation with these smart people.
Even so, the reason why I don’t hate her and don’t stop her as much as possible.
‘I like it so much, how can I stop it?’
The problem was that whenever Mo Yong-hee-ah talked about this, he seemed excited, which is rare.
“from now on?”
“yes.”
“…what?”
“A red monster appeared. Then what do you think will happen in the future?”
Mo Yong-hee speaks to me with interesting eyes.
Appearance of red grade monsters.
Moreover, it was the time when King Dok sent a letter about this to the Murim Meng.
“Um…”
What do you think will happen if that happens?
“There will be a fuss.”
It is a natural procedure.
Unlike blue monsters, red monsters are difficult to hunt.
It should be at the pinnacle of full-fledged strength that it can compete with in terms of speed and power.
Of course, if you are a skilled person, you can hunt with a number of top-notch warriors working together.
Is that really only possible for those who are extremely trained to hunt monsters?
Usually, it was standard practice to catch a group of peak unmanned people.
‘That’s the problem.’
From the peak, it is often called a master.
Although the number is quite high, it is not common.
In fact, unless it is a place like Hanam, if a peak unmanned person appears in the prefecture, you will see it from afar.
Is it possible to hunt only when a number of such people gather?
Perhaps a big change will come to the hunting method that is currently built.
This is like the reorganization of the swordsman.
As the need for martial artists and masters increases, the value they had will change.
It is soon that there will be a change in the frame of the midfield that has been maintained for hundreds of years.
“Blue is coming.”
meant blue.
When I looked at my previous life, I could predict that not a few things would happen.
Upon hearing my answer, Mo Yong-hee slightly nodded.
“…I guess Gongja-nim also expected that.”
“…Uh yeah.”
I’ve seen it myself, more than I expected.
Good is good, so what…
“You must be busy too.”
“yes?”
“The Moyongse must have already sent a message.” Upon hearing the words
“…”,
Mo Yong-hee opened her eyes wide for a moment, then smiled.
It was still enchanting.
“How did you know?”
“Is there anything I should know or not do?”
This is also natural.
Humans seek profit.
It didn’t matter whether it was a merchant or a soldier.
I mean everyone is like that.
Even if a crisis came due to the appearance of the red monster, there are bound to be people who are looking for some benefit from it.
That was especially true for those who stayed in high positions.
‘Just looking at the poison king right now.’
The poisonous king who sent a letter to the Murim Meng.
Will it arrive early?
probably not too late
The poison king wouldn’t want the world to become a mess either.
but.
‘It will be later than sending them to their household.’
this is information
Tremendous information about the appearance of a red monster.
Being able to discover this information before Liu Yi or Hao Mun had tremendous value.
Even if a situation explodes, you can deal with it first.
In this way, you will be able to benefit from the surroundings.
Could it be that only the king of kings did that?
It would be the same for Mo Yong-hee as well as Pae-ga.
I don’t think it’s bad.
It’s not like that everywhere people live.
As I thought about it, I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten about.
‘Ah, I should have sent it too.’
Everyone knew this. Actually I didn’t send
If I send it now, it’s already too late…. What should I do?
I don’t think my father will be angry.
“Umm…”
The moment I tried to frown at the feeling that I was slightly troubled.
“I don’t think Gongjanim sent you. Is that right?”
Mo Yong-hee, of course, took out the story and heard it.
“…how did you know?”
“I just happened to know.”
“…”
Mo Yong-hee’s answer gave her a flounder look. How come?
Put saliva in your mouth and lie. What does this mean? Anyway, she was still a scary woman.
How else would you know that I didn’t send a letter?
As I was still looking at Mo Yong-hee with dumbfounded eyes, Mo Yong-hee smiled and said to me.
“So I sent it instead.”
“huh? what?”
“Oh, I sent it to Mrs. Mi in my name. Are you okay? I think that would be the fastest.”
“to?”
I wondered what this meant.
…sent information instead?
“Last time, my mother… No, Mrs. Mi…”
“Hey, what was the title you just called?”
“Because Confucius asked me to contact him separately if anything happened. So I sent it separately through that contact network.”
“What’s your name?”
I think I heard something strange in the middle, so I keep asking.
Mo Yong-hee continued to speak only as if she couldn’t hear her.
My mouth would only hurt if I kept talking, so I let out a small sigh and leaned back in the chair again, closing my eyes.
No matter what the situation is, it will be okay because it is the right thing to be thankful for.
There’s no way that Mo Yong-hee wrote something strange in the letter.
“…”
“…”
I jumped up and looked at Mo Yong-hee and asked.
“…You didn’t write anything strange other than information in the letter, right?”
At the sudden question, Mo Yong-hee was taken aback for a moment.
what is that reaction what are you why are you anxious?
“You…”
“Oh, Gongja-nim, you must be sleepy. You should go to bed soon.”
“No, that’s what’s important right now…”
“Isn’t the chair very hard? May I lend you my knee?”
“…”
Ho-ho-ho.
Seeing Mo Yong-hee, who covers her mouth with a fan and tries to calm her down with a smile, gives chills to her spine.
…You didn’t do anything strange again, did you?
I should have hoped not.
******************
Food Deuk.
A bird flaps its wings in the sky.
A bird that lowered its altitude as if it were gently swimming.
I approached the young man who was standing still and looking at the sunlight.
The young man stretches out his hand, and a bird lands on it.
Soon, as if getting used to it, the young man untied the paper tied to the bird’s feet.
Charak.
Unfolding the finely folded book, the young man reads the words written on the paper.
Six to seven lines of writing at most.
There were some things written there that would have surprised the young man.
Immediately after reading all the text slowly.
“haha.”
The young man laughed out loud in spite of himself.
The eyes turn into half moon shapes with a smile.
The red eyes that were shining coolly were soon covered.
“The flow has indeed turned.”
The Blood Demon smiled happily.
How could I hate it when the crack I had hoped for came like this?
How did it happen?
A young man’s face flashed in his mind as he thought so.
The only person I can think of is that person.
Ah, I can’t call myself a human anymore.
Cheeky….
The Blood Demon laughed as he spread his trivial thoughts.
“Is it because of you? Or is it your fault?”
Is it virtue
Or is it to blame?
The blood demon thought it was good no matter what it was.
“I expect a lot from you.”
I hope you jump more.
By doing so, I hope that the eyes of the sky will reach me by growing bigger.
Blood Demon was really hoping for that to happen.
Only then…
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Pretending to be popular, the blood demon folded the book he was holding and put it in his bosom.
I straightened my clothes and looked back.
When he turned around, the blood demon’s red eyes disappeared and there were black eyes.
“no. It is an honor to meet you.”
“…”
At the words of the blood demon, the old man took a slightly wary look.
“I want to hear the main reason why you wanted to see me. New Star.”
old man no
Shaman Geomseon, the owner of the shaman and one of the swordsmen representing Jungwon, looked at Jang Seon-yeon in front and asked what to say.
Jang Seon-yeon answered the question with a gentle smile.
“There is something I dare to recommend to a great writer, so I came here to meet you.”
“You mean to me?”
At Jang Seon-yeon’s words, Shaman Swordsman laughed.
Now, the fallen sword has come down from the position of leader.
The divinity, which seemed to be burning hotly, is somewhat losing its light.
However, his son, who is not even a fallen sword, has something to recommend to him?
As a shaman swordsman, it wasn’t particularly interesting.
It was because I was still in a state of headache about the sleeping dragon.
“I’m sorry, but…”
I’m about to go back as soon as I feel like I’ve wasted my time in a useless place.
“I heard that you want the position of leader.”
“…”
At Jang Seon-yeon’s words, Shaman Geomseon had to stop and stop the bridge that was about to move.
Jang Seon-yeon, who confirmed the reaction, smiled a little thicker than before and continued.
“I think I can help with that… would you like to listen?”
At Jang Seon-yeon’s words, Shaman Geomseon’s eyes shake. It doesn’t matter how you knew.
It is news that most of us know implicitly that Shaman Geomseon dreams of becoming the leader.
“Sacred… are you making fun of the old lady?”
The shaman’s voice contains anger.
At best, a lump of blood that would have reached the terms and conditions.
It is even the bloodline of Nak-gum, who was sitting in the seat of the leader.
Is Jang Seon-yeon recommending this?
It was something I couldn’t easily understand.
Shaman Geomseon expresses his anger, but Shinseong just smiles the same as the first time.
“First of all, please just listen. I think that Master Jang punishing me is something I can do enough after that.”
“…”
Shaman Geomseon looked at Jang Seon-yeon for a moment.
how will we do it.
The worry didn’t last very long.
It was possible as long as you just listened to it.
In addition, as Jang Seon-yeon said, if it is trivial, you just have to take responsibility for it.
Thinking so, Shaman Geomseon replied by returning the steps he had taken.
Seeing this, Jang Seon-yeon’s eyes are momentarily slightly reddish.
The Shaman Swordsman did not notice this.
