Side Story Episode 41. Destiny (2)
“ha ha ha!”
It was quite nice to hear laughter outside of official duties, full of exhilaration.
“There were days in my life when something amazing happened, and there were times when I drank with pure joy. “I guess I can add today to the list of those few days!”
“I see.”
“Lee Cheon-sang was more of a hottie than I thought. Of course he had to trust you, but I never imagined he would handle it this well.”
Doheon bowed his head silently.
It would have been enough to make him smile, but his expression was stiff.
It was a moment when there was no need to wear a mask, but Doheon was truly in a bad mood. And this level of discomfort had to be shown.
The official, who had been laughing for a while, spoke in a somewhat harsh tone.
“You must be very upset.”
Outside of official duties, he was not so shady as to turn a blind eye to this aspect. Rather, his theory was that the more people you want to keep close to you, the faster you should shake off any regrets.
Of course, it was a theory that only came into play when one had the upper hand in a relationship.
Doheon said.
“I also believed he would do well. “He wouldn’t recommend someone who doesn’t have that level of ability to the head of the family.”
“Yes, I know.”
“Still, since he is a valuable talent, I hope you will pay more attention to him in the future.”
“Hehe, I made you sad.”
Gongmuoe tapped Doheon’s shoulder.
“I couldn’t help it this time. “There is a reason why ‘that guy’ in the military department should never be pushed aside.”
“… … .”
“I understand your disappointment. “I will make sure nothing reckless like this happens in the future, so relax.”
If you want to treat me right, don’t underestimate the value of the gift I gave you.
Do-heon’s slightly sharp words were accepted as such by Gongmu-wae.
However, Doheon did not express his discomfort in that sense. It was his sincerity that he worried about what would happen if Lee Cheon-sang were to suffer.
Doheon raised his head.
The stiff expression on his face had suddenly relaxed. He gently raised the corners of his mouth.
“I trust you when you say you will care.”
It’s good up to this point. If you keep being stubborn, your feelings will be hurt even outside of official duties. Doheon instinctively knew the limits of revealing his emotions.
Gongmuoe nodded vigorously.
“Hahaha, of course. “Just trust me.”
I never said I would care. But Doheon said so, and Gongmuoe naturally accepted what he said.
It was Doheon’s bold yet delicate politics. Now, unless it is official duty, I will not involve Lee Cheon-sang in any dangerous matters.
‘This is all you need to do.’
I have never had a conversation wearing a mask like this in my entire life. However, I have seen many times how people speak and act in front of powerful people.
Doheon also learned a lot from his relationships outside of official duties. This will happen countless times in the future, so it would be good for both yourself and the other person to completely abandon your previous self.
“Speaking of which, I heard he was pretty hurt.”
“yes. “It is said that the opponent was Pungjeon.”
“Yeah, I heard the name too. That’s because they didn’t block the information from over there. “If you think about it, that’s funny too.”
“He was a former adjutant of the Army Corps. “In reality, he hasn’t gone on many missions, but his military power is said to be enough to be called a peak expert.”
There was a look of surprise on his non-official face.
“You were an adjutant in the military?”
“That’s right.”
It seemed like they hadn’t investigated that far. If it was natural, it was natural. Since I wasn’t planning on providing help in the first place and I shouldn’t have reacted sensitively, I had to do only a cursory investigation.
“You weren’t alone, right?”
“They say there were five including wind chimes. “It is said that with Pungjeon as the leader, he sent four men with the military strength of a six-corps member under his command.”
“her! “Are you saying that the three of us defeated four masters of the Sixth Army against one peak expert?”
“I gave you tri-color bullets, Army Light Armor, and Shinpyo Bi-Armor.”
“Anyway, just the three of us defeated that much of an army? Could it be that among the three Yacharyeongs, there was one who was hiding his martial arts skills?”
“Yang Geon was the head of the reserve corps at Jinma University, and Juyeon Gyo graduated from Hwanheewon. “It may be similar to or slightly superior to Lee Cheon-sang’s, but it is not at the peak expert level.”
“Huh… … .”
He seemed genuinely surprised. The wide-open eyes reminded me of the first time Doheon lowered his head.
“Did you hear what they did with that guy named Pungjeon and his group?”
“yes. I was told this when I went to check on the condition. “I was already planning to report it.”
There was a slight look of satisfaction on his non-official face. This situation, where Daeju Gwangma reported directly to me without anyone knowing, made me feel very good.
Moreover, Doheon was quicker than expected. It was definitely a godsend to have Doheon under his command.
“How did you deal with those guys?”
Do-heon told exactly what he heard from Cheon-sang Lee without making a single mistake.
There was no need to exaggerate. Because it was an amazing story, even without exaggeration. In fact, even Do-heon had no idea that Lee Cheon-sang could use his brain so well.
Gongmu-oe, who heard the whole story, stuck out his tongue.
“It’s amazing. “That’s not something that can be done by just being smart.”
“That’s right. As someone who works in the field, I also believe that this is something that not everyone can do. “Not because he was the guy I recommended, but because it was a really bold and sharp operation.”
“If you have a smart mind, you can predict anything. “The important thing is to have the insight to guess which of the many predictions is most likely.”
“And action is also important. Even a person who can see a thousand miles is only halfway through it if he doesn’t move. This is especially true in combat units.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
Gongmuoe stroked his chin.
The serious face and the surprise in the eyes have not yet disappeared.
“The more expert you are, the more difficult the gap becomes to overcome. However, geniuses are often born in the world who can somehow overturn even a few differences.”

Doheon didn’t open his mouth anymore. He thought he had said enough.
“hmm.”
Gongmuoe, who had been lost in thought, stood up.
“Wait just a moment.”
After a while.
Gongmuwae’s reappeared hand held two boxes.
One was a jade-colored box, and the other was a dull-looking black box.
Gongmuoe placed a jade-colored box in front of Doheon.
“Now, open this.”
“… … ?”
Doheon opened the box.
For a moment, a musty scent wafted out. It wasn’t enough to affect my mood, but it had a very strong medicinal scent.
Doheon’s eyes wavered.
“this is… … ?”
“I recognize you as expected.”
Gongmuoe said with a smile.
“It’s a command group.”
“omg!”
Doheon was surprised. No, he pretended to be surprised.
“It’s one of the many elixirs I have. “I will give this to you.”
Commandant was a famous elixir in the Heavenly Demon Church.
If Shaolin has Daehwandan, Shingyo has Cheonmashindan.
If Shaolin has a summoning corps, Shingyo has a commanding corps.
Although it was not an item comparable to the Heavenly Demon Goddess, which was said to be the best elixir of the Church of God, the Spiritual Order of God was also not a commonly seen elixir. In particular, for those who had trained in magic arts, Commandan was a great elixir that was difficult to obtain even if they paid a thousand gold.
In a way, it is a more precious elixir than the Heavenly Demon Goddess, precisely because of its overwhelming versatility.
In the case of the Heavenly Demon God Order, you had to either learn the highest level of magic to completely dissolve it or reach a level where you had formed a family.
On the other hand, Commandant was an elixir that had special efficacy for anyone who had trained in magic arts. This is because it not only greatly increases internal energy, but also transforms the body itself into a constitution that is good for learning magic.
In any field, there are far more low-level or middle-level players than experts. Of course, the same was true for Protestantism, so there was much more demand for the Order of the Heavenly Demon than for the Order of the Heavenly Demon.
“How can I give this precious thing to me…” … ?”
“Hehe, this guy. Since you are doing your best for me, what big deal is this headquarters? At your current level, the Heavenly Demon Goddess would be better, but I don’t have that item either. Still, wouldn’t the Command Group be quite helpful to you?”
Doheon’s face showed turbulence.
When I saw his face, a sincere smile appeared on his face.
There is no martial artist in the world who dislikes elixirs. In order to make a good swordsman your own, elixirs are more effective than martial arts skills.
In the meantime, outside of official duties, I only used the elixir that I had stored away behind my back, and only on one person. And today was the second time, and I was planning on going for the third time.
Doheon, who was quietly watching the command, lowered his head.
“This stuff weighs heavily on me. “There are probably people who are more helpful to you than me, so it would be better for you to use them.”
Gongmuwae paused.
“Uh huh, Tao Daju.”
“but.”
Doheon’s eyes turned challenging.
“If you give me this, I will try to become a person who is not inferior to those people.”
“… … Hahahaha!!”
Gongmuoe burst out laughing.
“This guy has a knack for surprising people more than I thought!”
“sorry.”
“no. “In fact, thanks to your words, I have even more faith.”
It is truly rare to find someone who recognizes the value of such a great gift and instills stronger trust in the heart of the giver.
‘Yes, you can’t just accept something given to you by someone of your caliber.’
The trust in Doheon outside of official duties has become twice as deep.
On the other hand, Do-heon’s feelings toward outside of public service became three times colder.
‘These precious things that should be used for the religious people are rotting away in your political games.’
Still, it seems that his resourcefulness outside of official duties was remarkable enough to hold the command post. So I couldn’t forgive him even more.
Doheon lowered his head, hiding his true feelings.
“thank you.”
“Hehe, if you’re thankful, that’s it. “I don’t want anything more than that.”
Gongmuoe held out a black box.
“And pass this on to Lee Cheon-sang.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a reward for going through all the trouble. Ah, now that I think about it, I guess it wasn’t for nothing. We are all eating from the same pot. No, isn’t it? ha ha ha!”
“of course.”
“You are such a great person, and haven’t you proven your worth with impressive performances? “If you have shown that level of ability, you should be given proper support as a superior.”
There was surprise on Doheon’s face.
“If you do this, too?”
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. It’s not more valuable than the Command Corps. You are the tree and Lee Cheon-sang is the fruit. “A tree must stand upright to bear fruit well, and I am sure that he is a good person, but I will always do more for you.”
These were words full of trust in Doheon.
“However, isn’t this a guy who just recently trained in magic arts? Considering the period of learning, the growth rate is monstrous, but sometimes too rapid development blocks the momentum of growth.”
Gongmuoe smiled meaningfully.
“If not to you, it is at least as precious an item as the headquarters to that guy. “You go and tell it.”
martial arts,
