“Is he going to come out?”
“exactly.”
“……Why are you telling this person?”
“There’s no particular reason. I’m trying hard not to reveal it to my subordinates, but I think it will give you some vitality as you still haven’t been able to erase the confusion.”
“…”
“I hope you don’t misunderstand. The head of the household, as well as all of his subordinate swordsmen, can stay here forever.”
“It can’t be that way. I received a grace that is hard to repay, but in the end, the fundamentals of us and the castle are different.”
“Isn’t that the same as the Heavenly Demon Goddess?”
“Right.”
“You admit it right away.”
“But I, and my deceased father, have faith in Clerk Seo. It may sound arrogant, but I don’t believe in Clerk Seo as much as I do.”
“I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but if the lord of the castle heard that, he would have been quite upset.”
“So I’m talking to you, soldier.”
“ha ha ha!”
“I don’t like these words, but I will definitely repay the kindness I’ve received.”
“Even if I tell you not to pay it back, you’re going to pay it back anyway?”
“You guys, too, it’s better to pay back if possible.”
“I guess you know us well.”
“There is no reason to refuse a thousand gold just to show you the distribution.”
“……That’s right. But I didn’t know that the head of the house would say such a thing.”
“Is that so? If so, it must be one of two things. Either you misunderstood me, or I changed.”
“What do you think, Lord?”
“I don’t want to think about it.”
“I do know one thing. That the family head is still quite mentally tired. No, rather, as time passes, that fatigue only increases.”
“…”
“I won’t show any understanding or unnecessary words of encouragement. However, Namgung’s name is still high.
The reputation of the righteous spirit that Guga has built up over hundreds of years is absolutely not something that can be destroyed in a short period of time.”
“Stop it.”
“So go.”
“…?”
“Go and see him. Meet him and ask for an answer.”
“Are you certain that Guru Seo will give me an answer?”
“I’m not sure. But, didn’t the head of the household find an answer while staying here?”
“…!”
“I don’t want to admit it, but the current leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, Yamasin Yeom, except for the previous leader,
You have developed a martial art that is so powerful that it is comparable to any previous cult leader. The lord of the castle said that he also realized a principle as high as that martial art.”
“…”
“And, don’t you have a relationship with Gyoju Seo? I don’t know why Gyoju Seo came to the world, but if the Gadoju visits you, he won’t be neglectful.”
“……Why are you being so good to me?”
“hmm?”
“Whether it’s a faction, a faction, or a magician, in the end, the character of a faction will change depending on the personality and politics of the leader.
However, the lord of the castle is the head of Sapa. And Namgung is close to the Iron Blood Castle. It would be better for us to disappear for later.”
“Haha, if I thought so, I wouldn’t have accepted you in the first place.”
“Wasn’t it also a situation that you couldn’t help accepting?”
“Well, if you say that, I have nothing to say.”
“What is the reason? Why are you so good to me, no, to us?”
“Well, it’s really difficult to explain why. Besides, I’m a soldier. I’m not the lord of a castle.”
“…”
“But, I can tell you one thing.”
“…?”
“We don’t want to fight any more.”
“…!”
“Even if the Celestial Demons truly make up the magical world, we won’t fight them.
In fact, I have no strength to fight, and I don’t want to cause any more trouble and eat my flesh.”
“……is it.”
“Yes. As proof, we have already joined forces with the Protestant generals.”
“……!!”
“You look surprised. But it can’t be helped. The power of the Heavenly Demonic Church is the strongest ever.
Wouldn’t it be a much greater benefit to join hands and coexist than to forcibly stop those who are on the verge of destroying the magical world?”
“I guess so.”
“exactly.”
“I’m sorry. I offended military commander Hwang with my rather harsh words and actions.”
“Hahaha! I’m not upset at all. That’s right, if the cult leader hadn’t come to help us at that time, the Sangvis Castle would have walked the path of destruction.”
“…”
“The turbulent period of fighting has already passed. Now is the time for recovery. The tribulation in the midfield has entered its final stage, so let’s live by helping those who have come down from the battlefield.”
“……What do you mean by that?”
“hmm?”

“Does that mean that the tribulation in the Central Plains is not over yet?”
“Dam Sa-young is still alive, right?”
“……!!”
“Didn’t you know? Well, he must have been so distracted that he didn’t even think about that.”
“Then, why did Guru Seo come into the world…?”
“I don’t know the exact reason. Is there anyone who can look into his heart?
However, I do not think that Gyoju Seo, who did not even see Dam Sa-young’s corpse, would build an empire with peace of mind just because he received a declaration of defeat.”
“…”
“Now, the horse has been long. Let’s go. I have prepared the travel expenses and war horses in advance.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s enough to pay back the silver won.”
“Let’s ask one more question while we’re talking.”
“I’ll take good care of my family.”
“…”
“Come on.”
“then.”

It was a quiet journey.
Inside the carriage of the Heavenly Demon was truly quiet. Maybe it’s because it’s so well made, there’s been no problem so far, even though it hasn’t been repaired.
Zhu Cheng closed his eyes for most of the day, probably thinking a lot. I couldn’t tell if I was meditating or sleeping.
Seo Liang also often thought while looking out the window, and Chae Yeo-min, the most talkative, was absorbed in martial arts and had time to meditate all day.
Joo Seo-yoon and Jong Ri-young were not lively personalities in the first place, so there were often times when they were quiet as if no one was in the nature carriage.
They ate when the time came, and stopped the carriage every two o’clock to rest. The horses pulling the wagon ran a thousand miles without eating much fodder.
How many more days have passed like that?
“hmm.”
Seo Liang’s eyes flashed.
“It’s interesting.”
Joo Seo-yoon looked at him with puzzled eyes.
“yes?”
“I thought the information network over there was obsolete. Well, it’s been hundreds of years since we’ve been flying and crawling.”
“What do you mean?”
At that time, Ma Dong-pil’s voice was heard from the driver’s seat.
“Sir.”
“Know.”
“What should I do?”
“We should meet at least once anyway. Just go as it is.”
“All right.”
Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes flashed.
“Have you ever been?”
Seo Liang smiled coldly.
“Okay. If you pull out your sword, I’ll kill you. If you grin, I’ll smash you. If you don’t talk, I’ll give you a kick in the ass.”
“……Where is it?”
“Sachetangga.”
Ju Seo-yoon’s face was surprised.
“It’s not even before entering Sichuan yet?”
It wasn’t even the direction to Sichuan. Xi Liang intended to enter Sichuan after meeting Guanping.
Even so, did you come to the party first?
“It was always like that. Even in elementary school, there were many times when I stepped into the midfield and the opponents were caught off guard.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“In the end, things in the world rarely go the way I want them to. That doesn’t change even after reaching this level.”
The world is not like my heart. Then, even if it is an unexpected variable, if it is a controllable line, I just try to accept it calmly.
And Xi Liang was now in a position where he would not be surprised if any variables exploded.
“They’re the first ones to be destroyed.”
There was a clear displeasure on the countenance’s face.
“The Tang family was a family that made firearms in violation of national laws even when the influence of the empire was strong in the past.
They were vicious enough to be counted on one hand among the reckless Murim people, even making salt trades banned by the country.”
“Was it?”
“You didn’t seem to know that well. There is a book called The Thousand Years of Empire History in the library of the imperial palace.
The number of volumes alone reaches over three hundred. Among them, if you look at the Annals of the Hwangjo (皇朝實錄) section, it is full of all kinds of illegal history committed by those Tang clans.”
“Huh? Even when the power of the empire was strong, it was such a mess…. But you mean you left the party alone?”
“There’s no way that could be. The imperial palace has smashed the Danga many times over several generations. But they were as cunning as rats, and their poison was as good as any poisonous snake.”
“I couldn’t uproot it.”
“I made a fortune through all sorts of illegal means, such as flames and human trafficking, and made poison, memorization, and firearms with that wealth.
In the first place, I guess they were planning to create another armed nation, not Murim.”
“oh……?”
“It is said that those who repeated extinction and expansion for generations gave up on establishing a nation and crawled into Murim.
Of course, I haven’t actually seen it, but Hwangjosillok is notorious for its extremely realistic depiction. It’s very likely true.”
“Notorious?”
“It’s notorious, for the emperors. I’ve written down every single detail of the emperor’s secrets as an agent of heaven.”
“That’s great.”
Zhu Qing frowned.
“Those like that joined hands with a guy like Dam Sa-young. I don’t know about other factions, but the Dang family wouldn’t have been under Dam Sa-young’s command. At best, they’d be allies.”
“The pride of those bastards is a national treasure.”
“Be careful. You are the strongest of the Moorim era. I don’t know what your purpose is, but you must have come to see it because you are confident.”
“I’m confident, and I’m sure you want revenge.”
“plural?”
“During my elementary school days, I caught some of the party leaders.
Joo-cheong’s eyes shook.
“……Those damn bastards, they’re going to make up their minds and run.”
His words became reality.
coogu palace.
The carriage stopped.
At the same time, a loud voice echoed through the mountain path.
“The evil demonic master of the rare era will reveal himself immediately!!”
It was a powerful voice. But on the other hand, it was also a voice that felt more senile than I thought.
Even though it is clearly an old man’s voice, I can feel the strength as hard as steel.
“It’s not enough to shake the world, dare to ask…!!”
It was then.
Wow!
The old man’s voice was drowned out by a terrifying explosion.
Ma Dong-pil, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, was standing proudly with a black blood demon sword drawn before he knew it.
“I will take with my life the rudeness you have done to the headmaster. Don’t hide and squeak like a rat, and come out right now.”
“……You bastard!!”
Whoa!
A dignified old man appeared on the other side of the mountain road.
The old man with a white beard and gray hair could not easily guess his age.
However, the momentum emanating from the whole body was so explosive that it did not match the face full of wrinkles.
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes deepened.
“Sir.”
Xi Liang’s voice came from inside the carriage.
“Excluding that old man, there are seventy-two in total. Judging from the foul smell, they must have brought explosives.”
“…”
“How do you want to do it?”
Roaring.
Bloody flames shimmered on the black blood demon sword, and a roar, whether it was a beast or a monster, was heard.
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes spewed fire.
“It’s just a pack of dogs. You don’t have to reveal yourself.”
