Episode 198
Jumble-jump-
The royal castle of Yuldo Kingdom looked like the royal palace of the old Joseon Dynasty.
It looks like a small city with several royal palaces and surrounding forests, lakes, and pavilions.
A place where numerous eunuchs, maids, and even the queen live together.
As he walked there, Jinhyeok asked about the elders he would soon meet.
“So what should I be careful about?”
“All the elders are reluctant to join hands with Yeokcheon.”
“okay? “I thought you convinced me.”
It was unexpected.
Thanks to Hong Gil-dong, Yeokcheon and Yuldo-guk were close to an alliance.
However, since he did not know that the alliance was made up of only Hong Gil-dong, Jin-hyuk tilted his head with a feeling of surprise, but it was only natural to Hong Gil-dong.
“The elders are all people who have stepped into the realm of immortality and have reached halfway to immortality. “They all have strong beliefs as they have lived for a long time.”
“What are those beliefs?”
“Yuldo-guk does not communicate with the outside world and does not go out. Even if you go out, you should only take care of important errands and then come back right away. “That is a tradition handed down from ancient times and a rule that binds Yuldo-guk.”
“It’s tight.”
Even though Yuldo-guk is as big as any other country, if you had to live here your whole life, it would be like a prison.
In particular, there was a big difference between remaining voluntarily and remaining voluntarily.
“I thought the same way as you said, so I thought about it, but the end result was to accept your suggestion. First of all, since I am the king, not only am I somewhat free from regulations, but I also really wanted to solve the old problems of Yuldo Kingdom.”
“He is a good king.”
“To the elders, he is a bad king who wants to break the old rules. “Especially since I was the one who brought him inside during the last demon visit incident, they will want to take me down.”
This is a bit difficult.
Jinhyuk’s face hardened as he listened to Hong Gil-dong’s story.
Hong Gil-dong was clearly an outstanding Taoist monk and the king of Yuldo Kingdom.
Therefore, I was trying to maintain a good relationship with Yeokcheon and move towards a mutually helpful relationship, but a problem arose.
“Can you bring down the king? “He’s still the king?”
“What happened to the tyrant or the king who lost the people’s support in your hometown?”
“… … “They rebelled and drove them out or executed them, and transferred the title to a distant royal family or to a prominent member of the surviving royal family.”
“That’s a little scary. At least I’ll end up being exiled far away. “The purpose is to get out of a heavy position and focus on training.”
I don’t think it’s something to laugh about.
Hong Gil-dong, who laughed and talked about the worst future, was at least not normal.
However, I was able to understand when I saw that although the eyes were smiling, the corners of the mouth did not move at all.
Because he seemed to have his own difficulties.
“Oh, I just talked about myself too much. I’m sorry, bro. “The reason you need it was not about me, but about the elders.”
“No, that was also useful information. In the end, the elders are envious of me and my guild, so I can roughly guess what they are going to say.”
The amount of power the elders have within Yuldo Kingdom and those who have that power do not like themselves –
The fact was surprisingly similar to containing a lot of information.
“Then from now on, let’s just fill it up with stories about the elders.”
“I will listen.”
Of course, even if he was satisfied with what he said, it was refreshing to think about the real information that would follow from now on, so Jinhyuk listened again. * * *
“The council of elders is made up of a total of five people.”
“five? “It seems like a lot, but it’s still very little.”
“If there are too many, it can be a threat to the royal power, and I believe it is because there is a saying that the progenitor had five limbs when he was active.”
“I’m faithful to the past.”
“It’s because we have lived for such a long time that we have a strong desire to preserve old things.”
As he watched the Presbyterian Church building slowly getting closer, Jinhyuk gradually stored information in his head.
Five elders.
It was to save those who might become the biggest obstacle one by one.
“The major elder is Hong Moon-rak, the first elder is Hong Pan-ho, the second elder is Hong Min-bae, the third elder is Hong Baek-chun, and finally, the four elders are the only female elder Hong Mi-yeon.”
“They are all Mr. Hong.”
“The Presbyterian Church is a place where those who were originally royal family members of the Hong family prove their abilities and experience over time, so it is inevitable.”
The king is Mr. Hong, and the elder is also Mr. Hong.
It was no exaggeration to say that Yuldo-guk was literally controlled by the Hong family.
of course-
“But the Hong family is not the only powerful family.”
“It was like that in every kingdom. “Because there was the strongest family and the families that supported it.”
“Yuldo-guk is not that different from that. It is said that Hong Gil-dong, the founder of Yuldo-guk, had two close friends and rivals.”
“rival?”
This is kind of surprising.
Jinhyuk was slightly surprised to hear the word rival.
Sijo, Hong Gil-dong.
Not the Hong Gil-dong in front of us now, but the one who founded Yuldo-guk long ago, has already become a being on par with gods and devils.
Naturally, his friends and rivals soon reached a level equal to that of him, which also meant that they also stepped into the level of gods and demons.
[The owner of Yuldoguk nods.]
[It is said that the owner of Yuldo-guk is still drinking next to him.]
‘… … ‘I suddenly wake up.’
Just a moment ago, I felt like I had heard a list of great people and their biographies, but the illusion was shattered by a few real words.
It was surprising to think of all these great people gathered together and drinking.

However, Jinhyuk had to change his mind slightly after hearing the message that followed.
[The first driver, Seungcha Lee, threatens to call his name three times.]
[The master of illusions chuckles and says that’s a lie.]
[The master of illusions says that someone really likes you.]
[The first driver, Seungcha Lee, breaks someone’s head with a liquor bottle.]
‘… … Does this mean that you can become someone who can reveal your name without hesitation? At least it’s better than Sandalphon.’
A being that can send a message by revealing its name just for the sake of threatening or joking.
With that alone, it was possible to get a rough idea of the level of the beings called ‘the first master of magic’ and ‘the master of illusions’, so Jinhyeok erased the message window and spoke.
“Could it be true that the rivals are ‘The First Master of Rites’ and ‘The Master of Illusions’?”
“hmm? “How did you do that?”
“A message window popped up. “You seem quite interested in me.”
“… … Are they interested in you? Your brother is definitely amazing. It means that not only all gods and demons, but even her ancestors saw something in Hyung. Anyway, what you said is correct. “Those two people established the two pillars that supported Yuldo-guk, and the founder built a strong country on these two pillars.”
Hong Gil-dong was surprised to hear that he was receiving attention from the two beings who built the two pillars that supported Yuldo-guk, but eventually he nodded and agreed.
Two beings who greatly contributed to making Yuldo-guk into Yuldo-guk.
“Their names are Kanglim Doryeong and Jeon Woochi, respectively.”
It was Kangrim Doryeong and Jeon Woochi. * * *
“They each established a river family and a former family, and after seeing their descendants, they entered the divine world as a fable.”
“Like Hong Gil-dong?”
“Yes, just like the progenitor.”
Jinhyeok, who learned about the three families that support Yuldo-guk, the Hong family, the Gang family, and the Jeon family, was lost in thought while stroking his chin.
“It means that the people of the Hong family are very fond of me.”
“yes. Because the words of the Presbyterian Council are the same as the words of the Hong family. “The Hong family that became king can no longer be considered a Hong family.”
“Then wouldn’t it be worth it to get the other two families to my side?”
“Hmm, I guess it’s not bad. Actually, there was quite a bit of marriage talk going on between the two families and me. “For now, we’ve decided on just one person, but we still have a stronger bond through marriage talks, so let’s use that to get in touch.”
“… … Talking alone? Gil-dong, do you really have a fiancé?”
Jinhyeok stopped for the first time and did not hide his embarrassment when he heard about marriage for the first time.
Hong Gil-dong responded by scratching the back of his head.
“… … Didn’t I tell you? “I am currently engaged to one of the two families I mentioned earlier.”
“Who did you hook up with?”
“I made a relationship with the head of the previous family. She is a blunt but very attractive woman. “I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you.”
“… … But then, it’s no different from being dumped on the other side, so are you saying you’re going to contact me to ask for help this time?”
“hmm? Shouldn’t that work? Isn’t the fact that the engagement wasn’t successful a private matter, and this a public matter? “Of course it’s okay, right?”
… … It seems like you’re ignoring the confession of the person you’re dating and telling him to help you with your work.
If it were like this on Earth, something would have happened all of a sudden, but this was Yuldo Country.
‘Maybe Yuldo-guk is like that to begin with.’
If you come to another country, you must follow that country’s laws.
In the end, even though he knew that Hong Gil-dong’s words made no sense, Jin-hyuk nodded.
“Yes, that would be it if you were. Well then, let’s ask the head of the family and your fiancé first. “There will be more of a connection there than with the girl at the river.”
“Let’s do that. “I will contact you as soon as the elders’ meeting is over, so don’t worry, brother.”
When you shake your head while looking at Hong Gil-dong, who is grinning and pounding his chest as if telling you to trust only yourself, even though you don’t know what’s wrong.
“Im here.”
The servant who had been guiding Hong Gil-dong and Jin-hyuk until now announced that the guidance was over.
“From now on, only two people can enter, so I will wait here.”
“Good job, go back and do your job. “It won’t end anytime soon anyway.”
“That can’t be… … ”
“Do as Gildong says. As he said, it won’t end soon as there are many tigers waiting to eat us inside. There is work to be done, so it makes no sense to just wait. “Go back.”
“… … thank you.”
Jinhyeok and Gildong sent away the servant who said he would wait for them to come out, and looked at each other at the empty entrance and the opened door.
“then-“
“Go in.”
The two people took a step into the tiger den, which was crowded with old tigers.
