Episode 150
Know the situation
Sangwon and Wooman gaped.
I couldn’t treat him so carelessly, so I held the guest’s cup.
Are you going to ignore the favor and go somewhere else?
How can you ignore face like this?
How on earth does this make sense?
Unlike the Senate, which was bewildered, Uman was angry.
‘Is there such an arrogant person! After humiliating me like that, you give it to me again?’
After all, there is nothing wrong with the words of the saints.
Did you say that it is ‘geunmukjaheuk (近墨者黑)’?
Kunlun was in bad shape from the beginning.
Since I lived with those from the Demonic Cult, my disciple’s mentality was bound to be something like this!
Is there any way to speak kindly in a situation like this?
Uman’s voice contained thorns.
“Still, I prepared with all my sincerity, but it’s a shame. “Where are you planning to go?”
This is an unpleasant man!
Why come out like that to go to such a great place!
He spoke in a very pure manner, but if you couldn’t understand, you would be a fool.
Of course Jeong Gwang, who was not only smart but a genius, understood.
“Let’s go and see it together.”
Hwasan and Jongnam had no choice but to follow Jeonggwang and his group.
And when Jeong Gwang stopped walking… … .
The disciples of both schools were astonished.
“W-here!”
“It’s not like a dog or a guest house!”
It was like that.
In front of them was a huge manor surrounded by a wall so long that it was impossible to see the end.
A moan-like voice came out from Uman’s mouth.
“Continental battlefield… … .”
A battlefield that is renowned not only for the entire central region but also remote areas such as Cheonghae Fortress.
The place where Jeong Gwang declared that he would stay was the best battlefield in the world, famous for its high reliability.
“… … “You’re staying here?”
Uman was embarrassed.
Isn’t the battlefield a guesthouse?
It’s also the best battlefield in the world.
“… … Nonsense.”
Jeong Gwang responded to Uman’s self-talk.
“It works.”
“… … how?”
“I just need some money.”
“… … a little?”
Jeong Gwang tilted his head and added.
“A bit much.”
* * *
Jeong Gwang and the Bloodless Group were able to pass right through the gate of the continental battlefield thanks to Zhao, who arrived first with the carriage.
‘oh. ‘It’s spacious.’
Jeong Gwang was impressed as he walked along with the guide.
It was one of the largest places I’ve seen since I was reincarnated.
‘It can’t even be compared to Baekga Sangdan.’
It really makes me feel sorry to compare.
The continental battlefield was that huge.
‘There are a lot of warriors. The level is not low either.’
I nodded, feeling the energy of those who were exposed and those who were hidden.
‘You’ve come to the right place.’
Jeong Gwang praised Baek Seung-moo, who recommended this place.
“It is as the priest said. good job.”
“Thank you, death penalty.”
“Do your best until the end.”
“… … I will do my best.”
Jeong Gwang patted Baek Seung-moo’s shoulder, who answered with a solemn look on his face.
“You’re not just going to do your best, you’re going to do well, right?”
“… … Yes, death penalty.”
“good. let’s go.”
They had to walk for quite some time before they could meet another guide.
He was a mature man with a soft expression, but his clear eyes were impressive.
“Welcome to the headquarters. “My name is Kang So-san, and he is in charge of the Four Commanderies.”
“hello. This is Kunlun disciple Zheng Guang. “This is the bloodless group.”

“Jin Yuryong came to visit along with spirits renowned throughout the world. It is an honour.”
“Do you know the bloodless group?”
“I heard it through a rumor a while ago.”
“… … .”
How long has it been since the Bloodless Group was created?
Death Commander’s knowledge of martial arts seemed quite extensive.
No, the horizons of the continental battlefield would be wide.
‘You don’t know martial arts at all.’
Yet, there is no feeling discouraged at all.
Politeness may be something you get used to because of your work, but confidence is something you’re born with.
‘It’s okay.’
So I wanted to find out more.
“If you are Commander-in-Chief, you are the fourth Commander-in-Chief. “How many commanders are there in the continental battlefield?”
“Twelve.”
“It is the fourth of them. “I think you have great abilities for someone your age.”
“haha. “Thank you for your kind words, but there are other reasons as well.”
“What is it?”
Commander Death whispered in a low voice.
“I was pretty good at pulling the strings.”
Jeong Gwang’s eyes lit up.
“Is this a strong rope?”
“Nothing in the world lasts forever, but that’s the case for now.”
I had a rough guess.
It’s okay if not.
“great. “We make a deal.”
“haha. thank you “You can go this way.”
The Bloodless members who were listening, pretending not to know, made bewildered expressions.
What kind of cheap conversation is this?
However, Jeong Gwang and Commander Death walked forward with satisfied faces.
And soon we arrived in front of a large warehouse.
As I entered, Zhao and his carriage caught my eye.
“Then shall we check it out together?”
“yes.”
When Jeong Gwang agreed, the Four Commanders called the officers.
They took out the goods from the wagon and laid them out on the cloth spread on the floor.
And a quiet but sharp war of words began.
It was a fight between Death Commander and Baek Seung-moo.
“It’s a voucher from Shanxi Province’s Daxing battlefield. “I will have to lower the value by eight pennies.”
When Governor Death pointed to a bundle of vouchers, Baek Seung-moo asked back.
“You’re saying you’re going to cut eight pennies off?”
“Daeheungjeonjang (大興錢莊) was split in half due to a conflict between the two sons after the chieftain passed away four months ago. “The credit rating of the voucher has also dropped significantly.”
“I guess there are a lot of people who bring the issued vouchers and ask for them to be returned in kind.”
“That’s right.”
Baek Seung-moo’s eyes lit up.
“I don’t think I would just watch that on the continental battlefield. Are you collecting the vouchers they issued to take over Daeheung Battlefield? … .”
“Yes, but we already have enough.”
“Wouldn’t it be easier to acquire the higher the stake? “It may only be a small amount, but it will help.”
“haha. They say they’re called the Financial Swords Association, but they’re living up to their reputation. Then let’s lower it by seven pennies.”
Baek Seung-moo blushed but said what he wanted to say.
“Thank you for your sincerity in coming here. “Why don’t you pay just five pennies?”
“It was difficult to exchange money in kind at Daeheung Battlefield and it was difficult for rumors to spread, right? I think that’s why you brought it here. “You pay six pennies.”
“great.”
Seungmoo Baek inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
It could be said that he made a good save since he was able to collect as much as four pennies from battlefield vouchers, which were starting to raise doubts about his credibility.
“Then let’s move on.”
A war of words began again.
The Bloodless members looked at the two people with tired faces.
Was he relaxed while dealing with Baek Seung-moo?
Commander Death recognized their feelings and encouraged them.
“You must be bored, so how about relaxing in a comfortable place?”
Everyone except Jeong Gwang, Baek Seung-moo, and Zhao agreed.
As they disappeared with their guide, the atmosphere changed.
As if he had been considering Baek Seung-moo’s reputation until now, Death Commander’s onslaught began.
Baek Seung-moo struggled.
Even though he was a highly talented person, it was difficult to make up for the breadth of his experience.
Zhao, who was watching with sweaty hands, sent a message to Zheng Guang.
-Shall we hold a protest?
-Are you going to take out a dagger and lick it with your tongue to scare me?
– Uh, how did you know?
How do you know?
Where will Sapa’s true nature go?
Jeong Gwang was about to say it as it was, but then remembered that he had decided to treat it as a virtue.
-Just like that.
-Woah, you are Jinokryong as expected.
-Anyway, this isn’t the type of person that would work, so just look at it. Priests won’t be pushed back either.
It was just as Jeong Gwang said.
Baek Seung-moo showed his fighting spirit and rushed forward from afar.
In the end, the deal ended up not being too bad.
“haha. Baek Sohyeop. Thank you for your effort.”
“omg. omg. Commander Death… … .”
As they exchanged well-wishes, Jeong Gwang intervened.
“But how much is the issuing fee?”
“ah. I guess I didn’t tell you before. Normally it’s a penny, but… … “I’ll give it to you for four pennies.”
In addition to the convenience of the voucher and the credit for it, it was also the cost of opening branches all over the world so that it could be exchanged for things in kind, including gold or silver coins, at any time and anywhere.
“Priests. how is it?”
Baek Seung-moo nodded to Jeong Gwang’s question.
It meant that it was a good ratio.
“great. “Let’s do that.”
“How can I issue a voucher? “We will distribute it according to the amount you wish.”
“wait a minute. “Priest, take care of it.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
When the voucher was issued, Commander Death smiled.
“Thank you for using the continental battlefield. We look forward to your continued support.”
“me too.”
“Are you leaving right away?”
“no.”
“haha. I hoped so. “Why don’t you at least have a cup of tea?”
“No, I’m planning to stay here.”
Commander Death was not embarrassed.
Rather, the smile grew deeper.
“It was just the start of the transaction. “I think we have something to discuss for quite some time.”
The continental battlefield had the best lodgings and restaurants for large customers.
However, because the standards of large customers were high, not everyone could use it.
Fortunately, Concentrate was qualified to meet the criteria.
Death Commander’s eyes turned to that qualification.
“I noticed it earlier… … “It must have something to do with it.”
A dark iron ring inserted into the middle finger of Jeong Gwang’s left hand.
He was referring to something he received from the lord of Cheonghae Castle a long time ago.
“Do you know what this is?”
To Jeong Gwang’s question, Commander Death answered as if it were obvious.
“Of course I know it’s made here. “Isn’t this the seal of Great Yan, the lord of Cheonghae Castle?”
“You knew it as soon as you saw it.”
“haha. Not only Yan Dain but also the Tongzhou Yan family are big customers of this battlefield. I can’t help but remember. It has been a long time since Master Yeon told us that he had transferred the seal to Jin Ok-ryong. “He was waiting for you to visit.”
In Jeong Gwang’s mind, the Lord of Cheonghae Castle, clad in extravagant clothes and accessories, came to mind.
‘Now that I think about it, I guess I’ll be fine without being dragged to the center.’
I should go to Gansuk Castle instead of Cheonghae Castle.
Well, that’s it.
Jeong Gwang questioned Commander Death.
“Please wait. “You were pretending not to know until a moment ago.”
“Please understand. I’m afraid of how much I’ll have to withdraw. haha. But after listening to you, it seems like there is another reason?”
Jeong Gwang chuckled at Death Commander’s joke.
“I’ll get some rest first. “Can I stay there?”
“Of course. Rest comfortably.”
Commander Death added with a smile on his face.
“As you know, this battlefield is one of the safest places in the world.”
* * *
Not only the bloodless members but also Jeonggwang.
I really liked the accommodation.
As Jeong Gwang entered his room, Baek Seung-moo and Zhao followed him.
Zhao, who was barely able to hold back his itchy mouth, whispered lowly.
“A man named Death Commander. “I think he knows why we want to stay here.”
Seungmoo Baek also joined.
“That’s right. “What you said was very meaningful.”
It was as they said.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to say, ‘As you know, this battlefield is one of the safest places in the world.’
“It seems like he has a deep heart.”
“Is this a warning that if you cause too much of an accident, you will have no choice but to be kicked out?”
“I came here to sleep comfortably even after the accident, but it’s difficult.”
“Now that things have come to this, how about having an open conversation?”
Jeong Gwang listened to the two people chatting and shook his head.
“Priests. No need to think too deeply. “So does Zhao.”
“… … ?”
“Just go out and rest. “I’ll see you at dinner.”
“… … All right.”
As soon as the two left, Jeong Gwang thought of Death Commander.
‘Why did you reveal your value to me? ‘Is there a flaw in the fact that it’s so strong?’
If so, it’s better.
Because we can use each other.
Of course, I had no intention of taking any losses.
No matter who the opponent is.
Jeong Gwang thought of something important right now.
‘The accommodation is okay, but is the food delicious?’
It was delicious.
He and other Bloodless members were able to have a satisfying dinner.
After we had a few drinks, the mood got better.
Jeong-woo, who was leisurely drinking tea with Gong-woo, asked Jeong-gwang.
“Priests. “What are you going to do now?”
“We need to gather information first.”
Yoo Jeong-pung was pleased to hear the word ‘information’.
“cadet. Is it time for Woohyung to come into play?”
“yes. Hwasan, Jongnam, and Shaanxi branches of Simalian. “Please dig up information about the high-ranking figures of the three powers.”
“There’s even something to dig up. “The experts here have probably already gathered this information.”
“Not the whole thing, just about their corruption.”
“… … corruption?”
“yes. Just focus on that.”
Yoo Jeong-pung’s face, which was full of motivation, turned gloomy.
Information inevitably includes corruption, but it made me feel a little bad to just point it out.
Moreover, even Hwasan and Jongnam’s things are mentioned. Doesn’t it look that way?
However, after Jeong Gwang’s next words, appearance became irrelevant.
“If you’re having a hard time, ask for help from Haomun.”
“cadet! “How can we find such people in our own room!”
“What’s up with Hao Wen?”
“Whatever! “They are shameless people who are sold for a few pennies and are said to have made money one way or the other!”
Yoo Jeong-pung chuckled and then agreed.
“I’ll just pass over to the fighting zone. “We’ll start as soon as tomorrow dawns.”
“yes. take care.”
As Yoo Jeong-pung shook his head, Jeong-woo asked again.
“What should the rest of us do?”
“First, get some rest and stay in top condition.”
“okay. It would be better to be fully prepared. “Please rest well, too.”
“I’m going to wake up and go to Sima Lian.”
“okay. Even priests… … What? “Where are you going?”
“Samalian Shaanxi Branch.”
Everyone except Jeong Gwang gaped.
Jeongwoo barely closed his mouth and then opened it again.
“… … why?”
“I want to meet the branch manager.”
“… … Oh, Jade Kirin?”
Jeong Gwang grinned.
It was a smile that seemed more evil than anyone else in the world.
“But we still have to say hello before we start.”
