Part 2 Episode 186
Goodbye
Jeong Gwang left Gaju’s office with Mo Seo-hyung and headed to the armory.
After walking in silence for a while, I came across a huge warehouse with an exterior wall made of iron plates. I could immediately tell that it was recently built, unlike other antique buildings around.
Jeong Gwang scanned the warehouse with his eyes and was impressed.
“I was afraid someone would burn it again, so I covered it with iron. “How long did it take to study to get to this point?”
Mo Seo-hyung, who had made a huge contribution to making the Liningim family armory look like this, cleared his throat.
“Hmm. “Isn’t Cheolhwagak like this too?”
“Is it the same for decoration and to prepare for arson?”
Jeong Gwang approached the iron wall and flicked it lightly with his finger.
The impacted iron plate let out a dull sound.
It was evidence that it was excessively thick.
Jeong Gwang chuckled while stroking the iron plate.
“Well, it’s not a bad thing that this specialty was created thanks to this. It will symbolize the Lin family for generations. “There is nothing like this even in Cheolhyeoljang (鐵血莊) in the central plains.”
“ah! Is that so? then… … .”
Jeong Gwang added as Mo Seo-hyeong’s eyes sparkled sharply.
“But don’t burn the other palaces, either. “It looks special because it’s one, but if you do it all, it’ll look like a waste of money.”
“… … Most High, please go inside as the night wind is cold.”
Jeong Gwang stopped Mo Seo-hyung from opening the door.
“I’ll go alone.”
“that… … .”
“Are you afraid I’ll hit your husband?”
“… … .”
When Mo Seo-hyung hesitated, Jeong Gwang clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk. What do you think of me? “That guy, I think he has something to say by giving me a weapon, but he’ll feel uncomfortable if you’re around.”
Mo Seo-hyung quietly retreated.
“Thank you for enlightening me. “I’ll be waiting outside.”
“huh. See you later.”
Jeong Gwang opened the door and entered without hesitation.
Shelves filled with weapons were lined up on all sides, and in the center of them, an old man with a stocky build and a face covered in burns was sitting cross-legged.
Jeong Gwang sat down opposite him and smiled.
“Are your legs numb?”
Lim Cheol-hwan, head of the Lining Lim family, slowly opened his eyes.
Unlike before, his eyes were calm and sunken.
“This is okay.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Lim Cheol-hwan looked at Jeong-gwang carefully and then opened his mouth.
“They said you gambled with the fire at your home.”
“You didn’t call me to blame you for that, did you?”
“I’m asking to make sure I saw you properly. “Is it true that you focused on betting to prevent the crowd outside from causing a fuss by making wild speculations?”
“ah. “It feels like white meat meets seedlings.”
“I make money along with my job.”
“Whew. Seedlings cannot be common.”
Jeong Gwang sighed softly.
“Making money. I lost it. A lot of that too. “It was a noble sacrifice.”
Lim Cheol-hwan nodded.
“I tried hard to suppress my displeasure because it was helpful to my family, but now I’m finally letting go.”
“I got upset.”
“okay? It was like that for most of my life. But now I see it’s not true.”
Lim Cheol-hwan looked around the inside of the armory.
“It was the same here. “Until this morning, it was only an uncomfortable memory, but now it has become a memory.”
“You’re more positive than you look.”
“It’s not just that.”
Lim Cheol-hwan narrowed his eyes.
“I said that when I look at you, I think of the leader of the Sentai sect, right?”
“That great man?”
“No, the more I know, the more I think I’ve copied his. “They look very similar.”
Lim Cheol-hwan’s eyes turned gloomy.
“I hated him for a long time. Why didn’t you recognize me like that, why did you ignore me? ‘You can’t do that. ‘Awaken from a dream’. If you had at least told me the reason properly, I wouldn’t have resented you so much… … .”
Lim Cheol-hwan’s eyes became calm again.
“But my wife told me today why he did that. “It was all my fault.”
“You have gained great enlightenment. congratulations.”
Lim Cheol-hwan glared at Jeong Gwang and declared.
“I will make the best sword in the world.”
“cheer up.”
Jeong Gwang, who had been cheering with clenched fists, opened his eyes wide as Lim Cheol-hwan continued his words.
“So I want you to use it.”
“yes? why?”

Lim Cheol-hwan’s voice became heavy.
“It’s clear you’ve followed his progress. The temperament is also the same. If you are not the best person in the world in the future, who will be? “My sword needs a happy owner.”
“Isn’t that excessive greed?”
Lim Cheol-hwan did not deny it.
“I wondered dozens of times if this was a vain desire, but I just couldn’t shake it off. “My heart is telling me to do it and my head is accepting it.”
“What are you going to do if you regret it later?”
“It made me wonder why they would make weapons if they didn’t have this much affection for it. So I decided to sell out like this. “Even if my decision is wrong, I will never regret it.”
“… … .”
Mo Seo-hyung said that Lim Cheol-hwan was thinking about this topic.
Jeong Gwang told him to explain so that you could understand that it was not a wrong desire, but there was no need for that, and Lim Cheol-hwan was confident and was trying to move forward.
‘Sanghyeulhwa will be happy.’
Jeong Gwang shrugged his shoulders.
“What do you mean? “I’ll take it.”
“thanks.”
“Do you even know how to say that? But I don’t know when I will return.”
Lim Cheol-hwan didn’t care.
“It doesn’t matter if you come after I die. “Even if I’m not there, your sword will still be alive and breathing.”
“That’s a bit…” … .”
Jeong Gwang scratched his arms and started talking about something else.
“If this has come to this, please be generous. “Can I take something I can use now rather than something I can use in the future?”
“Do you need superior weapons? “After all, your way was not a divine sword.”
Lim Cheol-hwan looked alternately at the sword and the cloud dragon stuck on Jeong Gwang’s waist.
“I was just wondering because the sword seemed so much better than the Tao.”
“How do you know without even looking at the sword body?”
“You can tell when you look at the sheath. The same goes for sword fighting.”
The new sword scabbard made by Cheolhyeoljang had a dark black dragon engraved on it.
The sword had a dragon instead of the cloud pattern that was originally engraved, and to the eyes of someone with a discerning eye like Lim Cheol-hwan, it was simple yet stylish.
“It was just made. “It’s not my family’s work, so it looks like it’s from the famous Cheolhyeoljang. What do you think?”
Jeong Gwang turned his sails as a strong wind blew.
“I have no idea. Just use it. “It seems like he doesn’t want to give me good weapons, so he’s diverting his words.”
“… … “It seems like you are really turning things around.”
“Then let’s assume it’s a draw. “Can I just choose the one I like?”
“… … .”
Lim Cheol-hwan looked at the concentrate and then suddenly stretched out his hand.
“I will choose. “Give me your way.”
“Do you want to exchange it?”
Lim Cheol-hwan frowned.
“Weapons leave traces of their owners. I’m looking at that and trying to give you what’s right for you. It may actually be a sword, but isn’t that something you won’t be given if you ask for it?”
“Hearing what you say makes me want to do that.”
“I’m risking my pride to give you something good, so give it to me quickly.”
“Here you go.”
Lim Cheol-hwan received Jeonggwang’s sword and slowly pulled it out.
A ghost energy flowed out along with a ‘rumbling’ sound.
“… … !”
Lim Cheol-hwan’s eyebrows twitched.
It was not because of hearing loss, but because the blade was damaged and many of the teeth were missing.
“It’s not a bad way, but it ends up like this… … .”
Jeong Gwang kindly explained.
“Stop practicing Taoism by hitting a rock. “It was surprisingly weak.”
“… … .”
Lim Cheol-hwan pounded the blade carefully with a wooden mallet.
Tao cried softly and trembled all over, then slowly stopped.
“I’m not the kind of guy whose teeth will fall off on rocks or anything like that. Besides, aren’t you the owner?”
Lim Cheol-hwan’s eyes were shining.
“Malyeong Gangsi. “Did you hit it?”
“yes?”
“I can’t help but think that this happened while cutting them down.”
“this. “I can’t help it.”
Jeong Gwang spread out his chest and was proud.
“that’s right. “We attached a talisman to the foreheads of the magicians, threw glutinous rice at them, and finished it off by sprinkling a lot of chicken blood on them.”
“… … .”
“Aren’t you absurd?”
That’s what I mean.
Will the world’s demonic rivers fall for things like that that are only talked about among the common people?
Jeong Gwang alternately pointed to his own chest and Lim Cheol-hwan’s chest.
“Right now, my heart is the same as Lord Taesang’s. Just do it in moderation. I think that would be good for both of us.”
“… … .”
but.
That’s too much speculation.
Lim Cheol-hwan internally blamed himself and looked down at the sword in his hand.
Since I decided to put my pride on the line, I had to look at it properly.
With calm eyes, I thoroughly dug through the traces on the Dao of Concentration.
Then, without realizing it, I expressed my admiration.
“That’s amazing. He might have really defeated the demonic spirits… … .”
“Shall we just go?”
Lim Cheol-hwan was silent for a moment, then stood up and approached a shelf.
Then he took a sword and held it out to Jeong Gwang.
“Of course a sword would be better. “This is all I have right now.”
Jeong Gwang got up from his ass and received the sword.
The scabbard and blade were so simple that it was rather an impressive sword.
But not in Jeong Gwang’s eyes.
My eyebrows naturally furrowed.
“What’s so flashy? “You engraved the evil spirits in detail, leaving no gaps.”
Lim Cheol-hwan calmly refuted.
“It won’t be very noticeable. Because it’s you, not many people can recognize that. “Don’t worry about the outside, look inside.”
Since what he said was not wrong, Jeong Gwang drew his sword.
The black sword body quietly appeared and radiated terrifying magical energy.
Jeong Gwang whistled softly, checked the center of gravity, and flicked the blade with his fingers.
No matter where I hit it, there was a clear, consistent sound.
“It’s okay.”
Jeong Gwang swung his sword a few times and looked satisfied.
“It’s quite heavy and has a lot of Hyeoncheol mixed in with it. “There is no need to check the strength.”
“My father used Hyeoncheol as a whole. This is a sword I made while looking for another way to surpass my father. “It may be a failure, but it will be useful for a while.”
Lim Cheol-hwan’s voice contained heat.
“I have been frustrated by repeated failures, but I will definitely create an alloy that surpasses current iron. A sword made using that alloy, that is my goal.”
Jeong Gwang laughed to himself.
People’s thoughts are bound to be similar, and those who reached the same level were the same.
Just as he used the scales of Mugakgong (無角公) and the enlightenment gained through concentration at the Iron Blood Field to create an alloy called red gold steel and attach a breastplate to the Iron Blood Warriors armor, Lim Cheol-hwan also set a similar goal.
“I like it. “I will use it well.”
“Thank goodness,”
“What should I name it? Ah, 10,000 demons will do.”
“… … “Are you serious?”
“It’s perfect because there are 10,000 evil spirits engraved on the scabbard and blade.”
“… … “It’s fortunate for you, but unfortunate for the sword.”
Lim Cheol-hwan shook his head and walked to another shelf.
When he returned to his original position, he held an armful of weapons in his arms.
“Take these too.”
“Oh oh.”
It was a black double-pointed baton, a dagger with a blue blade, and a gauntlet made of shiny leather like a snake and lined with sharp iron pieces.
“It will be helpful to that child.”
“Be kind to yourself.”
The burn marks on Lim Cheol-hwan’s face were distorted.
“The plan will only begin when he becomes the leader of the small school, and it will benefit the main family, so I am only giving it to him.”
Jeong Gwang looked around, thinking of the weapons the group had, and found something suitable.
“Please give me that as a bonus.”
“… … .”
“When you give, be generous. Wouldn’t that make the recipient more impressed?”
“… … “I don’t want that, so just take it.”
Without hesitation, I quickly took the concentrate.
I asked for cloth too, wrapped it around what I got and carried it over my shoulder.
And said goodbye.
“good bye. Taesanggaju can do it. “Keep on dreaming that dream.”
It was a very stereotypical greeting.
“… … !”
Lim Cheol-hwan’s calm eyes were engulfed in a hot tempest.
I didn’t know why.
‘You can’t do this’ I heard a long time ago. The words ‘awaken your dream’ are shattered and you say, ‘I’m sure you can do it, Lord Taesang. The words ‘keep dreaming that dream’ were deeply embedded in my heart.
No, maybe he was already convinced through various suspicions and confirmations.
Jeong Gwang turns around and starts walking.
Lim Cheol-hwan straightened up and spoke.
With a completely changed tone of voice.
“There were many examples. Good luck.”
Jeong Gwang grinned and walked away without answering.
When I opened the door and went out, Mo Seo-hyung, who was waiting, stared at Jeong-gwang with wet eyes.
“Are you crying again?”
Even though Mo Seo-hyung shed tears, he smiled brightly.
“I’m sorry, Most High. “I’m so happy, stop.”
Neither Jeong Gwang nor Lim Cheol-hwan did anything to stop the sound from leaking out, so Mo Seo-hyung heard everything.
Unlike twenty-five years ago, when she accepted it obediently, Jeong Gwang also chuckled.
“Yes, there’s no rule that says you shouldn’t shed tears, even if it’s Iron Blood Flower. Support your husband and he will take care of himself. “I’ll be good to you too.”
“Thank you, Majesty.”
“With something like that. I’ll go. Bye.”
As Jeong Gwang tried to leave, Mo Seo hyung quickly caught him.
“You said you would come back, but I don’t think I’ll see you again.”
Brother Mo Seo straightened his clothes and greeted him politely.
“I hope that light will shine on the path ahead of the Supreme.”
Jeong Gwang smiled faintly as he took a step forward.
“It’s grandiose. “You each do your own thing and live happily.”
And after walking a few steps, he tilted his head.
“Is that going to be harder? Still, as long as you achieve it, you can say it’s a happy life.”
