Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 51

EP.51 Maehwa Sword Dragon. (1)

Maehwa Geomryong (1)

The Namgung family, said to be the biggest pillar of the political faction, is a renowned swordsman.

As the name suggests, it was a place that reached its peak in using a sword.

To put all the enlightenment into a single sword by endlessly training one’s mind and body.

A place where you train without stopping to reach the highest level that you can reach as a swordsman.

That was the meaning of the swordsman.

The seasonal emperor sword type used by Namgung’s blood relatives and the Changgung Muae Sword, a representative sword, are evidence of this.

Sega always had the name of the greatest sword in the world until the sword master appeared.

However, the position has tended to be somewhat shaken by the present.

The name of the first sword in the world is possessed by Sword Master Wihyo.

Conversely, Cheonjon Namgungjeolcheon, one of the three, was given the arrogant name of Heaven, but that was not the name he wanted.

I wanted to walk the sky as a swordsman, but the name was given to Prince Wihyo. The meaning of Cheonjon must have faded.

Besides that, there was also the fact that Namgung Cheonjun, who is said to represent the late Jisoo of the time, received the nickname Noe-Ryong.

Namgung Tianjun is an excellent late index, but not the best.

The best was definitely Geombong Gu Hee-bi.

Besides Gu Hee-bi, Namgung Cheon-jun did not have the name Geomryong.

Since he uses brain ki and a speed sword, he is only called a brain dragon, but he does not have the name of a sword dragon in the end.

Because of that, Namgung Cheonjun shed bloody tears and wrote evil, but the result was not different.

This generation’s Geomryong belonged to Hwasan, not Namgung.

The plum blossom sword dragon of the volcano.

There was a young man who was the youngest plum swordsman in Hwasan and would later be called the plum sword.

A man who was considered infinite in his talent for the sword.

A peerless genius who blossomed at the tip of his sword at a very early age and solidified his position as a swordsman.

He is standing in front of me

She looks two or three years older than me, and her hair is well-tied and tidy.

He had eyes that looked like something harmful, but he was a handsome man with an impression that seemed to have a strange determination mixed in them.

“Small narrow.”

The sword dragon asks me.

“How does Xiaohyup feel the energy of the volcano?”

I realized something was off with his question.

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

The incident goes back a while.

Seven more days and nights had passed since Simbeop had risen to 4 stars, and it had been well over 15 days since he was on the road to the volcano.

When I showed up in the morning as a 4 star, I remember Mu-yeon’s eyes shaking like crazy when she saw me.

Comparing it to the past, it felt like I could win against Namgung Cheonjun without much difficulty.

Of course, if the Namgung guy had grown up in the meantime, I wouldn’t know.

Now, if you look at it, it felt like it had risen to the position of the late index with excellent talent.

Judging from my current age, it would have been seen as a tremendous achievement from Muyeon’s point of view.

The reality was a mongrel surrounded by out-of-the-box gimmicks and expedients

.

It is also the season of Kuga, which embraces the heat inside the body instead of outside and dramatically increases physical ability.

Now it can be used without much physical strain.

Of course, it seemed like I couldn’t use it for a long time because I gobbled up the bet.

hee hee hee-!

thud-!

The monster screams and collapses.

As the massive body sank to the ground at once, dust spurted up.

Looking at the fallen guy, it was a monster with the appearance of a horse.

I think it was Noktuma (綠鬪馬) or something like that.

“It suddenly pops out, startling people.”

Hwareuk!

As soon as the battle was over, he retrieved the bet he was wearing.

The reason why he suddenly caught the monster was because of the demonic gate that opened in front of him while he was continuing his mountain climbing.

While he became a 4 star, he ran directly between the escorts to warm up.

Muyeon also sensed my inaction, so it didn’t seem like he bothered to tell me not to do it.

If we were to use shorthand for the battle just now, there was definitely a difference from before.

The overload on the body from the heat he was constantly feeling was reduced, and the destructive power and speed increased along with the increase in internal energy.

Could it be that he has barely reached the first-class level?

Considering my current age, it was a fairly early period.

For comparison, Goo Hee-bi was able to take as an example that she was raised to four grades at the age of 17.

Goo Hee-bi, who was said to be at the highest level in the history of the Gu family, was at that level, so the stares he would receive after returning to Sega would be quite fierce.

‘Elder Lee’s gaze must be quite burdensome.’

Perhaps he would run away with a grin like a grin.

And the Japanese elder may also offend me quite a bit.

It doesn’t show any other movement after the friction with the Gujeolyeop, but it’s probably thinking of another way.

That’s not a very good direction, though.

‘I’d like to stay still if possible.’

I was hoping that he would try to keep his position quietly without showing any ambition.

It was troublesome to deal with when an old wolf unnecessarily tried to stick out its teeth.

“If you’re still trying to push me out, I’ll have to pull them all out.”

“What did you say, Bocchan?”

“It’s not a big deal, I have a cavity in my mouth, but I’m not sick yet, so I’m leaving it alone.”

“You mean tooth decay?”

“Yeah, I hope it doesn’t continue to hurt. If it bothers you, you have to pull it out.”

If left in a sick state, it would all rot, so I had to pull it out.

“Probation is over!”

one of the escorts shouted.

I asked Muyeon with a sad face.

“What about the bones or skins?”

“I’ll probably keep some, but I think I’ll have to throw most of it away.”

“Sorry.”

The hides and bones of monsters become money.

Its leather is much tougher and stronger than that of normal beasts, so it was used in many ways, and in the case of some special monsters, it is also used as a material for spiritual groups.

It was the lowest green level monster, but it was also a bit disappointing because it was definitely money.

“To think I haven’t been half way yet…”

It seems like we’ve traveled this long, but we had to go a lot further.

Now that I’ve come to this point, I feel like an asshole who insisted on going because I was caught by Taeseondan.

‘No, at least Taeseondan… Yes, Taeseondan was enough.’

I was spending every day thinking about it like that.

I also didn’t seem to be suited for long-distance travel.

As I leaned against the carriage to start again, Wi Seol-ah, who was next to me, came and sniffed at me.

What is it, is it a puppy now…?

He did something so strange that I unknowingly beat the bean.

“urg!”

Weiseolah let out a short scream and stepped back.

It was only then that he remembered that the swordsman was driving a horse in front of him.

It was by instinct, as he openly hit his granddaughter, Dakbam, in front of Geomzon, but cold sweat flows from the chills he felt after committing it.

I glanced at him and saw that the swordsman was driving his horse as if he didn’t pay much attention to it.

“…What is it, why do you suddenly smell it?”

I can’t bear to say why it smells like a dog, so I’ve tamed it to some extent.

Wi Seol-ah rubs her forehead and says.

“You smell like flowers.”

“What flower scent?”

“I don’t know… it smells like flowers anyway?”

I pointed to the corner of the wagon with my hand at Wiseolah’s words.

“It’s not me, it must be me over there.”

There was a small box in the corner of the wagon, and it contained the treasures I had been carrying all along.

I had it in my pocket, so I bought a box and put it in because the scent of plum blossoms vibrated.

Thanks to this, storage is a little easier, and there is no spreading of smell or light.

I often watched the box with a little anxiety, but that was fine.

Maybe this is better than sucking the energy of a monster

…

I ignored Wi Seol-ah’s muttering.

I was just talking to myself with the box containing the treasure, so I was leaving it alone, wondering if it was a bit strange today.

What did you say? Was it ‘Hello Grandpa, who are you’?

He seemed a bit tired today, so it was a bit hard to talk to him.

Talking to myself was never scary.

‘Where are the ghosts in the world?’

I went back in time and even regressed, but I didn’t believe in ghosts.

…I’ll say it again, it’s not scary…

You can’t be afraid of a ghost from Mine.

I ignored the cold sweat flowing for unknown reasons and closed my eyes.

I was just thinking about getting to the volcano as soon as possible.

‘Look at me again like a beggar long distance.’

Even if I can’t do it this time, I made a promise that I should quietly stay in Sega for a year and do only what I have to do.

The carriage ran another mile after that.

I was also half asleep.

I had to go as far as possible before nightfall, so I ran without stopping.

How far did they go forward like that? Suddenly, the carriage came to a sudden stop with a rattling sound.

Due to the impact of the sudden stop, my body jerked forward.

“Ouch!”

Weiseol-ah stumbles and tries to jump over.

Without even trying to come to his senses, he made a bet and first blocked Wi Seol-ah with his arm so that he would not get hurt.

It wasn’t a big reaction, but it was unexpected.

Fortunately, Wi Seol-ah stumbled, only her hair was messed up, and she seemed to be uninjured.

I immediately opened the carriage door and went outside.

“what’s the matter.”

There was a hint of anger mixed in my voice.

It was because I was forced to wake up from a good night’s sleep.

When I went outside with a frown, someone was standing in front of the escorts.

“…what.”

I was about to ask what was going on, but my mouth fell shut. It was because the clothes of the person blocking the carriage were familiar to the eyes.

Red petals embroidered on a pure white uniform.

A plum blossom pattern on the sword worn around the waist.

There was only one warrior wearing such a conspicuous uniform.

The place where I, in my previous life, directly destroyed the world with the Heavenly Demon.

“I was so rude because I wanted to ask you something.”

A soft voice escapes from the young man’s mouth.

It was a friendly voice that went well with his appearance.

It is a familiar voice with a familiar appearance.

I, not anyone else, ended up cutting my own neck…

the last master of the volcano.

“I am called the spirit wind of the volcanic wave.”

No, he was a man who is now called the Maehwa Sword Dragon.

“If you are a volcanic soldier, can you do such a dangerous thing?”

Mu-yeon asks Yeong-pung as if asking.

I guess it was the first thing that came forward and blocked it.

Originally, it was my duty as the person in charge to argue, but Moo-yeon came out because I was lost in my senses and was dumbfounded for a while.

Youngpoong apologizes with a troubled expression at Muyeon’s words.

“sorry. I didn’t intend to block the road this way, but I had to go forward because I had something to check.”

“What do you mean check?”

“I wanted to check if our writers were in that wagon.”

The direction Yeongpung pointed was the carriage I was in.

What do you mean? Are you a volcanic scholar?

All of a sudden, I couldn’t understand what everyone was saying.

“I felt a familiar energy from afar, so I came here to check, but luckily I don’t think there is something wrong.”

Youngpoong let out a sigh of relief as if he was really relieved.

“However, I still have questions. If there is no literati of Hwasan in this place.”

Along with Yeongpoong’s words, a familiar scent passes the tip of his nose.

It was the scent of plum blossoms that I had been sick of smelling for the past dozen days.

The scent was close.

It was because the spirit wind arrived in front of me in an instant from where it was from afar.

“Small narrow.”

It was Yeongpoong’s kind, low and determined voice.

That voice overlapped with the voice that roared beneath the extinct volcano in my ears.

[What did we do wrong…!! How could you do this to us!!]

“How does Sohyeop feel the energy of the volcano?”

I swallowed in vain at Yeongpoong’s question.

And I thought.

Ah, this is really…

[It’s fucked up.]

It’s fucked up

…..
