Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 5

A time when the swordsman was still called the windswept sword.

Due to the Jinma-gyeongmun that was opened near Sacheon, the black dragon sword attacked the gate when the head of the party was absent.

The number of Black Dragon Swords (黑龍劍) and Black Dragon Bats (黑龍隊) is hundreds, if not many.
The Black Dragon Sword had reached its peak, and most of the members of the Black Dragon Squad were first-class unmanned.

It was a long time before the head of the party family received the letter and arrived at Sega.

It was the plan of the Black Dragon Sword to devour Dangmun, who was the loser of Sichuan, and dominate the whole of Sichuan in the absence of Dangjiak, the leader of the party.
If it hadn’t been for a special event, the party might have been destroyed that day.

However, unfortunately, there was an abnormality with the Black Dragon Sword.
The strange thing is that there was a flurry sword in the party gate by chance.

What happened after that was unbelievable to those who had not seen it in person.
Hundreds of Black Dragons and the apex Master Black Dragon Sword were all killed by the Wind Sword.

Said one who watched from afar the gale sword, which had dealt with hundreds of people alone

The sword dance wielded by the gale sword was as beautiful as the crescent moon in the night sky at the time.
He said that the place the sword passed was just cruel.

After a short bloody battle, there were only hundreds of corpses and gale swords standing there.
After this happened, the party gate took out the old season and made a sword and presented it to the gale sword.

He carried that sword as a lover until he later became a swordsman.

Waltham Sword (月閃劍).

It is the name of a sword made by many craftsmen with all their strength in the Tang family, which is said to be the best in the Middle East to handle iron.
But where does a sword like such a work of art go? … .

“It’s a broom, it’s a broom.”

In Geomzon’s hand was a broomstick.

… Is this correct?

******************

The time just past Missy (13:00 to 15).

I sat on the floor in the warm sunlight.
What you do is called meditation.

If you dig deep, you can see in the distance a dwarf back brushing hard.
An old man with thick white hair with a slightly curved back was sweeping the floor slowly and vigorously.

It was hard to believe who he was, but the old man was a swordsman.

“… Seeing Gumzon sweep the floor with a broom in our house.”

Is this really correct?

Two days have passed since Geomjon and Wi Seol-ah took care of me and entered the place as a servant.

I’ve been half-conscious for a while.
I asked the general why they suddenly came in.

‘This is the name of the Lord.’

It ended with the words It was actually the expected answer.
However, he could not suddenly break into the housekeeper’s room and argue with Gu Chul-woon. is not it? Would it have been better to ask and ask?

I thought a lot, but time passed without being able to come to a conclusion.
Is it okay to leave it like this for now? I wondered if it would be the right choice for the future to kick them out by hitting the chess board.

He didn’t have enough lives to dare to fight with Geomzone, so he gave up on that for now.
Another problem appears when I turn my tired head away from Geomzone.

“Seol-ah, it’s dangerous to eat too much alone, shall I go with my sister?”
“no! I can do it!”
“Uh, uh! stand up! Stone in front… !”
“Yes? Ouch!”

“….”

I turned my eyes away from the look.
Although Seol-ah Wei was treated like her youngest sister among the attendants, she seemed to be adored.

The work didn’t even last.

She must have had superior talent as a warrior, but does it make sense that she can’t do that with her body?
Didn’t she even turn it all over while carrying the laundry?

She is comforted by Seol-ah, who is crying, and her attendants grow up.
That doesn’t mean that her laundry that rolled on the dirt floor doesn’t come back.

Fortunately, she hadn’t washed it yet. She looked up to see the figure and got up her body.
Guess she saw me moving, Seol-ah Wie ran up to me from behind.

“Why aren’t you doing what you were doing?”
“The master told me to follow you wherever you go!”
“… Who said that?”
“Grandpa!”
“… okay.”

Why did you… .
Judging from her name, she seemed to be a direct servant.

In my opinion, it was just passing.
In fact, the reason other users are particularly good to her is probably because they semi-forcibly entrusted them with the things they were most reluctant to do.

It must have played a part in that the uncomfortable atmosphere of the place where I had only looked at me was resolved by the arrival of Seol-ah Wi.
She’s a child of a well-known family, but is it okay to just set her exclusive servant like this?

As it was a matter related to the family aides, it was obvious that the general had touched it.

‘Does the general, as well as the father, actually know the true identity of Geomzon? Or did the servants quit their jobs so they didn’t know what to say?’

There must have been some reason as the general couldn’t have known what was going on at Sega.
….it seemed to me to be the latter

Seol-ah Wei, who came after me, tried to trim my clothes, but, due to my poor skill, I stopped Seol-ah Wei, saying that I would do it in the end.

Tears welled up in his eyes as if he was upset that he was rejected.
However, he did not have any dexterity, so it was still difficult to entrust it to him.

‘No, is it okay to do this in the first place?’

It seemed that there was still a lot of time left, but there was no need to move in a hurry to cover the anxiety.
It was one of the reasons why Sega went out now.

After getting ready to go out, I sent Seol-ah Wi, who was about to follow me to the streets, to another attendant.
It was easy for him to let go because he had a cause that he had not finished learning the job yet.

At the fact that he couldn’t go out, Seol-ah Wi gave a sad look.
For me, it was difficult for me to know how to deal with Wiseol-ah.

To be treated like a servant, to think about the future, that was not the case, and to treat it differently, it was a difficult matter as it is.

As I was about to leave the place, my eyes met with Geomzon.

Then Geomjon bowed his head as he bowed his head.
Feeling uncomfortable in a great sense, I quickly moved out of the place.

When I left the place, my escort, Muyeon, was waiting for me.

“I heard from the commander-in-chief. You said you were going out on the street.”
“It won’t be long, and I’ll probably be back at Sega before the sun goes down.”
“All right.”

Don’t ask about other parts. As an escort, he was well educated.

‘The problem is, it’s a bit pitiful that I was the escort.’

After I left Sega and walked around the Korean food scene, I came across the street where I first met Wi Seol-ah.
She had felt it before, but if she had not practiced for a while, she was feeling out of breath after walking a little.

She felt she wanted to go take a break, but she had to go in before the sun went down, so she hurried.

I passed the streets full of people and searched the alleys.
I expressed concern that Mu-yeon was a dangerous area, but it did not deter my actions.

“found.”

After looking around for a while, I finally found a building with a sign on it.
The building looks old and shabby, but it was definitely the place I was looking for.

“I was worried that it might not be available during this time, but it was a useless worry.”
“young master… . What on earth did you come here for?”
“Why? Is it strange to see?”
“Yes… . Frankly, yes. Even with the building, the surrounding feel is not very good.”
“It feels so good, that’s right.”

profit

As I opened the old door and entered, the eyes of the people inside were focused on me.

“What is it, what kid are you? Who hit a bastard without our knowledge?”
“What disgusting sound are you talking about? I must have just gone the wrong way.”
“Who’s the guy standing behind him, look at him, he’s got a knife.”

In the dimly lit interior of the building and in an aggressive atmosphere, Muyeon put her hand on the handle of the sword. Either way, they didn’t care.
One of the guys told me.

“Child, this must not be a very peaceful neighborhood because you are just running around, how did you get here?”

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way, but recently, after being treated like a high-ranking person, it was rather a familiar feeling, so it was comfortable.
I replied with a slight smile to the man’s words.

“Why did you come here as a guest?”
“Is my kid talking too short? Do I have to cut my tongue that short to get my mind?”

Muyeon finally tried to pull out her sword as he giggled, but I quickly stopped him.

“Master, this guy dares now.”
“Just be still for a moment.”

I said to the guy who only had a fishy smile in front of him, who seemed to be swinging a sword at any moment.

“You must know who I am anyway, and you’ve known everything since I set foot in this area. Let’s go easy and easy.”

I wanted to fit in with the atmosphere, but unfortunately there was not much time allowed to go out.
The smile he was making disappeared at my words.

“Let’s not go, do I have a lot of time? I knew everything from the beginning, so let’s get rid of useless acting.”
“What the hell are you talking about!”

At my words, he tried to act again, but it was too late to restore his already broken expression.

“He seems worried that Gu will know and push this road away. There is no justification for doing that, and if we quarrel, we lose, right?”

I see a cold sweat running down the man’s cheek.

“I said, but I am running out of time. Now, since you are definitely a customer, go quickly and call the branch manager. Before I make you guys worry so much.”

The man’s pupils tremble at my cover.
In fact, they didn’t have the ability to do that, but they were the ones who would understand if they had to shout it out.

Muyeon asked in a bewildered voice as if something had changed.

“..young master. What the hell is this… .”
“It’s no big deal, I was originally going to go to the open because there was something to find out, but there were some problems with that.”

Muyeon is startled Is it because I have a place to go to? He was a much better friend than I thought.
It would have been nice if I had left him, but it was something I couldn’t possibly do with my current body.

“I’m sorry I brought you here, but it’s an unavoidable situation.”

Openness (丐幇) was able to occupy the place of the old file room (九派一幇) only with information rather than force. If it was originally, it would be more convenient to go to the open and ask for it.
The openness faction is a faction, so it doesn’t do anything that might cause problems.

I don’t know if I’m going to throw in a thousand bucks.
Anyway, there was a problem with the opening of my quest, so I had no choice but to find another place.

If the political faction is information power, openness is the best.
If it was Sapa’s intelligence, this was it.

Hao Gate. I came to Haomen.

*****************************

It didn’t take long for Haomen to receive proper guidance.
After the man contacted us, he led us to the basement at the back of the building.

Mu-yeon said, ‘You can’t take the master to such a dangerous place!’

When we went downstairs, a young man with a snake-like face and squinted eyes was waiting for us.

“My name is Do Un-chu, the head of the Shanxi branch.”

He was quite handsome with white skin. Of course, as Hao Mun, it was obvious that he was a human face.

“He is a very unexpected person for those who are looking for us… . I apologize for being too radical.”
“The apology is fine, so will you accept the request?”
“Before that, may I ask if you dared to find saffron baboons like us in a famous family like Guo?”
“You keep asking strange things, you said you came for a request.”
“It’s asking us to ask you why you came to us without having to open the door.”

Why do you have to come to Sapa and ask for it with the same faction open?

“I can’t open it, but Hao Mun must have come because it’s a quest that I can do. You must know that, so why do you keep trying to check it?”

When a slightly blunt voice came out of his annoyance, the snake-eyed young man smiled slightly.

“I’m sorry if I offended you. Apparently, the rumors about Confucius are rumors, so we also need to confirm a little… .”

A boy who, at best, would have been only fifteen by now. At the very least, a troublemaker who said it looked like it was half-released from Gu came and asked for it, so it was likely.

“Even under this circumstance, the reason why I, as the branch manager, appeared in front of Confucius was only because of his surname.”
“I know, that’s why my name is my name, so you’re asking if I’m going to take a quest. It’s already the third time, you know?”
“Haomen never refuses a request. Only if the price is right.”

Dowoon-chu relaxed his posture slightly. It was a sign that he would listen to the quest.
Can I talk to you now?

“I am looking for a person. A boy who must have been a little over ten years old now.”

In my arms, I handed Doun Chu a piece of paper on which I wrote the impression and area.
Do Un-chu, who was handed the paper, said with a strange expression.

“I don’t understand, Confucius. If you are looking for people, there is no reason to visit Haomen.”
“It’s because the area is a little far away and the range I know is a little narrow. Opening is expensive.”

As it is well-known in that it is a political faction of the old file room, the credibility of openness is high.
And the cost of receiving the request was high.

Perhaps, if I hand over the same quest I gave to Haomen to the open now, I won’t receive twice as much for Haomun.
Just in case you have a little problem.

“Confucius, we do not operate with such a small amount of money.”

Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s cheap.

“I know, but if it’s Haomun, I came here because I could afford it.”

Dowoon-chu was looking at the paper I handed him.

“It is true that it is easy to find because of its unique impression, but it is not an easy request because the area is wide and it is even far from Shanxi.”
“Are you saying it’s that expensive?”

Dowoon-chu talked about the appropriate amount.
Mu-yeon, who was behind him, heard the amount and swallowed in vain.

How much money should I save from Sega? It was a terrifying amount to even imagine.
It didn’t matter though.

“The more you can’t find it, the lower the price will be, but for now, this amount… .”
“Sorry, we’re not paying for it.”
“… I beg your pardon?”

As a member of the political party, finding and commissioning Hao Mun was a dangerous thing in itself.
Wearing the name tag of the Gu family and being entwined with Sapa itself was like that.

Still, the reason I came to Haomen is because I am confident that they will not go anywhere and will surely listen to my request.

“I have some very good information, I think I can pay enough with this.”
“… Confucius. Have you forgotten where this is?”

In any case, in the midfield, it is a place that forms a double wall with openness in terms of the amount of information.

“I dare you to be confident, the amount of information we have will be greater than the openness.”

Opening up may not be easy due to the cause of the faction, but Hao Mun does not choose any means and methods.

Perhaps because of the difference, in a way, he can make such an arrogant remark.

“How much less can we not know what Confucius knows. If there was no commission fee, this would not have happened… .”
“Hao Munju.”

The head of the branch, Do Un-chu, stopped talking at the slurred words.
His face, which could not be seen clearly, was stained with astonishment.

“The location of the missing Munju Ha. Aren’t you curious?”

As soon as I finished speaking, swords flooded me.
