Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 535
It won’t be forced to ignore. I also didn’t know why.
Last night, when I heard that the lineage of the dark king was cursed.
From then on, Noya’s reaction was unusual, as if he had received a great shock.
[…] how… How can you… .]
Is it lamentation or shock? Noya spat out in a trembling voice and disappeared.
He probably wasn’t asleep like he used to, but he probably needed time to think.
Yeonga’s lineage was cursed by the blood demon.
This part seems to have been quite a shock to Noya.
I was curious about this part too.
‘What the hell happened?’
Yeonilcheon, who sealed the blood demon and disappeared.
The human who was recorded as a hero in history, but his descendants were living a life unlike human beings under the curse of the blood demon.
‘Serving the dragon.’
The more I think about it, the more it’s a curse that doesn’t sound like words.
It cannot be solved by death.
To solve it, pass it on to the next generation. It means that the dragon has to break the curse.
‘It’s a beggar job.’
How beggarly he was, did he ask for help even though he wished that the dark king would die himself?
It was something I didn’t know.
only.
Even so.
‘I can’t let the Dark King die.’
Even if he asks for death because his life is painful, I can’t just let it go like that.
‘I’m sorry, but it’s not easy to stand on this side.’
In a situation that gradually becomes like a dog, the existence of a dark king is of considerable value.
Even more so if he wants something from me.
‘… I should use it.’
Opportunities like this weren’t common.
It was also my favorite situation.
A useful human being who wants something from me.
It is the easiest to handle and the easiest to throw away.
“… tsk… ..”
As I tried to use it, the shitty feelings kept coming up.
-Please kill me.
The tone of the dark king who begged me to kill him… .
Contrary to his always expressionless expression, his expression at that time caught on.
I hate it.
Not the one who wants to live. What torments those who want to die.
This is also disgusting.
I knew very well that a person who suffered this would really turn their life into hell.
That was exactly what I had been through in my previous life, how could I not know.
From my point of view, who knows the feeling best, it’s something I never want to do.
Even though I knew this, I couldn’t help it.
There were too many things to protect to think about that.
“… I’m really pissed off.”
When I remembered that, my fever rose.
I’m not mad at the situation.
just.
It was anger towards me who was using even those feelings of the other person.
******************
“You are here.”
Immediately after washing her face, she immediately moved to the residence of the king of poison.
I smiled and said, looking at the poison king, who had turned pale over the course of a day.
“You’re not feeling very well.”
He was definitely not a fat person, but he wasn’t skinny either. He was very skinny while I couldn’t see him.
‘It must be a day… .’
It must have been a very difficult time.
Perhaps he knew that too, the poison king smiled bitterly and told me.
“… Because I had a lot of work.”
The words of the poison king with a wry smile were very heavy.
Is it because you know his situation well?
‘It’s not a smile, it’s a face.’
It must be so.
Elder died.
It wasn’t even just the one who died.
As soon as they heard the news that Elder Il was massacred, Elder Three and Elder Jang tried to run away.
It was said to have been captured by an unknown unidentified person.
It is only obvious who the unknown soldier is.
‘… He’s too busy.’
must be the father He said he would organize everything, but it seemed like he had really done it.
You didn’t come in all night, but it looks like you’ve been busy.
Honey, the reason why the king of poison is like that is probably the reason.
‘If the elder is dead, that’s not the end.’
In Sega, the elder has more than just a name.
Each of them will have their own power.
The bigger the family, the bigger it would have been.
If three elders of such a famous family died, what would happen to the forces they would be managing?
‘Scattered and collapsed.’
The owner of the family is Gaju.
Although this is natural.
It is obvious that the world is not like that.
Even if the one to whom one swears allegiance is the lord, there is no way to prevent the grouping of forces with the elder right above him.
Representatively, Namgungga was like that.
The power of the Elders’ Council was too strong, so the Sword King couldn’t use his power as the family head.
‘… It’s our side, it’s just my father looking after it.’
Kuga is a special thing, so let’s skip it.
Although Tang Mun was not as strong as the Namgung family, the power of the elders could not be weak.
The empty space created by the death of the elder must have been a problem.
‘As a result, it’s not a single king’s problem… .’
I can’t say that the elder died because he did something to die, but it’s the poison king’s problem.
‘It must be a problem that he doesn’t seem to have enough time or strength to hold onto it.’
The situation was not very good.
It would be difficult to capture one force, but it was necessary to capture all three forces at the same time.
‘Even though things are happening.’
In a difficult situation, the party gate exploded until the day it stumbled.
It was natural for him to be like a single king.
So it was strange.
Even now, the nobleman, who should be running around until his feet were sweating, was still in his residence.
“You must still have a lot of work, so how are you here?”
“Because I knew. That Confucius will come soon.”
“… hmm… ?”
I had to tilt my head at the poison king’s words.
You thought you’d come?
“I don’t remember very well. Did I say I was coming today?”
“It’s old, isn’t it… . If it were Confucius, it would have seemed so.”
“This is so… .”
I don’t know what everyone sees and predicts about me.
What’s annoying is that it’s mostly true.
“So, you’re saying you’ve been waiting for me?”
“… I have something to say thank you for. It is true that I had something to ask.”
At that, I slightly crossed my arms.
I don’t really need to say thank you, and it took a while for me to talk.
“Are you going to ask?”
“I heard that our daughter, Ai, collapsed while talking to Confucius.”
“…”
Seruk.
I immediately untied the arms I was wearing.
Damn.
“… It’s a bit of a matter… .”
“I’m not saying anything, don’t be nervous.”
“Oh yeah? Good luck then.”
“…”
Was the clear reaction the problem?
The king’s expression softened slightly.
… No, because I said no, I said it was good. Why are you making that face?
“… It was more like farming. Now let me ask you the point.”
“Is there another main point?”
It seems that Dang So-yeol was not interested in what he said.
So what is it?
By the time I was staring at the poison king with my eyes narrowed slightly,
Swoop.
He took an object out of his pocket and lifted it.
‘huh?’
When I looked at something, it was a group of soloists.
Probably the one I gave you. Why are you taking that out all of a sudden? I’m looking at it with a question.
“Old Confucius.”
“yes.”
The poison king told me.
“I know you have more poison altars.”
“…!”
I had to raise my eyes at the words I heard.
… How did know?
‘Did I mention that I have a lot?’
I can’t remember, but it couldn’t have been.
i know me well
I don’t know if I ate that good thing alone, I couldn’t honestly say that there were more.
If so, how did the king of poison know this?
I don’t know why, I look at him with surprised eyes.
“haha.”
The poison king suddenly burst into laughter.
What is that man, why are you laughing?
The moment I wondered if I had lost my mind.
“I just floated it. See if there are really more.”
“…?”
I had to gasp at the words of the poison king laughing.
‘Damn it.’
I realized with a sigh.
It was me, not the single king, who was distracted.
‘Maybe it’s because I heard too many things the day before.’
You can think so.
This doesn’t help.
It was just that I was stupid.
“Tsk, can I give it back?”
It was too late to come out now, so I just confessed.
“Are you making a face you don’t want to give?”
“Oh, I caught this.”
When he came out confidently, the King Dokwang’s expression became grotesque.
I didn’t like it, but the words were real.
Give it back if you want it back.
Because it was ours in the first place.
‘… Even if Dangjemun gave it to me.’
Even so, he thought of giving the poison king to him.
Of course, I intended to hide it well so that it wouldn’t happen.
damn it I never thought I’d be so stupid
‘… Should I just keep one or three eggs when I give it to you?’
Inside, I was greedy without even realizing it.
I want to give it coolly, but it was more so because it was a solo group, not anything else.
‘No, three pills are fine… ? I’m having a hard time too.’
While I was thinking about how to cheat, the king of poisons told me.
“If you need it, you can take it all.”
“yes?”
you can take it all
At those words, I stopped all my thoughts and looked into the eyes of the poison king.
Are you giving me all this?
“…”
Hearing the words, he met the Dokwang’s eyes. A strange feeling passes by.
I should thank you for being incredibly considerate.
Should I be glad I didn’t lose it?
If that’s not the case, should I be happy with the unexpected luck?
Unfortunately, not all three.
The emotion in Dokwang’s words was coolness.
Unknowingly, cold eyes.
Looking at the poison king with such eyes, the poison king reacted this time.
“… Whoops, I was in a hurry. At this point, did each of us make a mistake?”
Just like the poison king found out what I was hiding.
This time I figured out something on the side of the poison king.
“What is it?”
A low, cold voice flowed out and reached the poison king.
I was in a hurry and made a mistake.
That’s what he just said himself.
He shouldn’t have given me a poison altar in such a hurry.
If I was going to do it, I should have done it a little more delicately.
That way I wouldn’t have noticed what was in it. However, he couldn’t.
I would have noticed.
“What are you thinking?”
There is something.
There was something in the intention of the poison king who said that he would give the poison altar so easily.
“Old Confucius.”
Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to have the same intentions as me. Or, are you tired of that now?
It was the latter I would look at. As if to convince me of this, the Dokwang spoke to me with a tired face.
“At some point in the not-too-distant future, there will probably be an announcement from the Moorim League.”
“… What do you mean?”
announcement? What are you announcing?
“You’re saying you’re going to publicize what happened at the party gate?”
Did you really write it down and send it all to the Moorim Meng?
Although I take out the words to an unexpected story.
“That is not true.”
The poison king denied my words.
‘… Isn’t that so?’
After all, no matter how much, the poison king wouldn’t have done it himself.
Thinking so, I nodded my head.
“The story to be announced in the Meng is that the party gate will descend from the four generations.”
“…?”
More than that came out.
‘What did I just hear?’
not easily interpreted.
I must have heard it well, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.
So I asked the poison king.
“… The head of the party.”
“Tell me.”
“Have you taken any medicine… ? Something tough?”
“…”
At my question, the brow of the poison king was completely twisted.
Maybe the poison king took the wrong medicine.
Otherwise, I couldn’t understand what I just heard.
“Your party comes down from the four generations?”
“exactly. An announcement will be made in a little while.”
“… crazy… ?”
It’s not that it might happen, it’s the certainty that it will be announced.
That’s what I mean.
“… Are you saying you already sent a letter to the Murim League?”
“exactly.”
It was not mentioned by the Murimmaeng side, but it meant that the Tangmun side requested to go down.
I want to come down from the four generations. It must mean that I wrote it down.
the problem is.
“Is that because you want to come down? ?”
The four major generations are more of a symbolic meaning than a formal seat.
As long as it’s just picking four of the best and most prestigious families in the midfield and calling them that.
It meant that it was not possible to come down just because the party wanted to.
At this, the poison king smiled bitterly at me and said.
“Does it seem impossible?”
“…”
“I guess I can.”
In contrast to the cold head at the poison king’s words, the fever began to rise.
“My lord. Could it be that you wrote everything down and sent it… ?”
“Not a single letter is missing.”
“Are you crazy?”
What happened in our gate, the experiment we were doing.
It meant that he wrote down everything about the elder and sent it to Meng.
‘Did he really turn around?’
Even if you don’t do such a thing, you will soon be inspected by the Meng.
At that time, it was not enough to hide it, so I wrote it down and sent it to Maeng.
“Are you going to ruin it?”
It was no different from just trying to eat Sega.
It’s absurd, so I take out the words.
The poison king was only smiling dryly.
Does that man laugh at this situation… ?
‘For some reason, he caught and killed all the elders and whatnot.’
Didn’t pay attention to people’s eyes and beheaded the elders.
Was that the reason why you burn your whole body to get things done?
Only then did the king’s actions make sense.
‘Why did I do that?’
Did he mean to kill Sega in the first place?
A nobleman, the head of a prestigious family, takes care of his family… ?
‘Is that why Mo Yong-hee ran out?’
As if she had realized something, she remembered Mo Yong-hee running all of a sudden.
I wondered why he was running so quickly, but it could have been if he had expected this.
‘Because the Moyong family is commercially related.’
It is also a situation where we have signed an agreement with our party.
If the party gate chooses to collapse on its own here.
‘… The game changes.’
It wasn’t just the collapse of the gate, but the situation that would arise as a result was also a problem.
Mo Yong-hee immediately predicted this, so it seemed that he moved to respond as quickly as possible.
When the party gate collapses, the game changes.
The meaning of this word means that the value of the gate is enormous.
Even if the famous house located under it collapses right now, it will be noisy.
What if the party gate draws? It was obvious that the ripple effect would be enormous.
That’s why it’s more questionable.
“… Why did you make that choice?”
No matter how much I looked at it, I couldn’t understand the choice the poison king had made.
‘Maybe, I thought that the party could be ruined.’
Since it was such an accident, I thought there would be considerable damage.
I don’t know if it’s broken by others.
I didn’t know that King Dokwang would think of destroying the Tang Gate himself.
Really why
It was a choice I would never have made if it were me.
In response, the poison king was silent for a moment, then looked me in the eyes and spoke.
“Thanks to the old family head.”
“… yes?”
I had to stop at the poison king’s words.
Are you suddenly talking about your father here?
I thought he might have exploded something, but I held back my words because he said it was ‘thanks to’, not because of Dokwang.
“He said that to me. Even after seeing this, I wonder if the political faction is correct.”
“…”
“That’s right. At least it wasn’t something a political faction would do.”
I can’t refute it.
Whatever the reason, the circumstances that had occurred immediately before were not something to be done as a political faction.
but.
“Isn’t that what the poison king did?”
“Are you sure?”
“… What do you mean?”
“I would not have intervened. The former Confucius is sure.”
“…”
The poison king asked with bright eyes.
The plan for the birth of the heavenly body and the countless evil deeds committed to make it happen.
If you ask me if I’m sure the King of Poison didn’t intervene in that matter.
‘… no.’
Not only did I believe, but I wasn’t sure.
Reading my expression, Dokwang smiled slightly and said,
“I didn’t.”
“then… .”
“Even so, fewer people will believe me. That is reality.”
right.
that was the reality.
Even if you say you didn’t do it, if the situation is like this, fewer people will believe it.
“and. Even if I didn’t intervene. I will take responsibility for it.”
“Does the head of the party have any reason to do so… ?”
“If it’s the reason, what Gongja Gu just said is the reason.”
“yes?”
“It’s because I’m going to the party.”
“…”
As if he was comfortable, or as if he had resigned himself.
A myriad of emotions are mixed in the calmly flowing voice.
“It doesn’t seem like you did anything big by telling me to go, so far. Shouldn’t we do something before it’s too late?”
