Fabre in Sacheondangga Episode 139
Love 1
When I wrote down the name “So-ryong-dok-mul-gi” in front of my father-in-law and family, they praised me.
“It’s called the Little Dragon Poison Record. It’s a book written by Little Dragon about poison. That’s what it means. At first glance, it seems ordinary. But the fact that a man uses that name means that he’s sincere. That’s good. That’s very good.”
“Hmm… Your name? How bold. Son-in-law. As expected, son-in-law?”
As expected, they are men, so they have a good understanding of each other.
The reason I put my name in the book is because, like Fabre’s Book of Insects, I thought that if I were to write a book, I should put my name in it, but of course, putting my name in a book is an expression of confidence.
Doesn’t that mean you’re going to put your whole heart into writing?
If a book is poorly written, the writer may be criticized for generations to come, so it is not something that can be done without putting one’s name on it.
That’s why I smiled and responded to the compliments from the two adults, and the adults smiled back at me as well.
“Yes, I will do my best, putting my name on the line.”
And after the naming ceremony for the Little Dragon Poisonous Water Machine was over, a two-week break was given.
“Well then, since it’s been a full moon or two, go back and get some rest, son-in-law. I’ll see you later in the evening.”
“Okay, Master.”
“Son-in-law, I will have the maids prepare some warm water, so please stop by the washroom and take a bath first.”
“Yes, I understand. Then I will leave.”
After greeting the host, I went outside and walked quickly.
But the place I’m headed to is not the Seogyogak my mother-in-law told me to go to, but somewhere else.
I told my mother-in-law that I understood, but the place I was headed to was not Seogyogak, but Dokmulwon.
This was because, before returning from the basin and stopping by Gajujeon, he had asked for something from the old master of the old house whom he had met at the old gate of Dangga.
After sleeping out for two weeks, I desperately needed a warm bath and a soft bed, but this was an urgent matter that could not be put off.
“Are you ready for what I asked for?”
When I ran into the poison dungeon in a hurry and asked the old master about the progress, he stepped aside slightly and answered.
“Yes, Little Dragon. Is this okay?”
He seemed to have prepared what I asked for in the box behind his back, so I checked it right away.
“You drilled enough holes. What about the cloth?”
“Yes, as you said, I prepared a black cloth separately. Then I ground the clay finely and the dust flew away, so I ground the white cloth as you said and made a lump out of it, and it quickly became hard.”
What the old master had prepared was a large box with lots of holes in the lid.
Inside the box, the sides and walls were thickly coated with the familiar red soil.
The red soil was made by having Bin-i bring in rocks dug from inside the cave of the Buddha’s Tower, crushing them again to make red sand, which was then mixed with termite body fluid and hardened in the same way as termites.
-Knock knock.
When I knocked on the dirt, the sound I heard was something that would only come from solid rock.
“I think this will be enough.”
“So now this will be Eunjam’s bedroom?”
“yes.”
The reason I prepared this for the Grand Master of the Old Kingdom was for the sake of the Silver Sleepers.
It was to create an environment similar to the inside of the anthill of the Bultapbaek-ui, which was the guys’ breeding environment.
It is easy to tell if an animal’s breeding environment or conditions are not right because they will show signs, but insects and larvae are slow to react and do not respond well when something is wrong, so you need to pay close attention to their environment.
Insects may grow slower or not reach their maximum size when temperatures are low, which is not a good thing.
‘Maximum size, I can’t give that up. Yeah.’
The bigger the insect, the higher its value among enthusiasts. In the case of the stag beetle, which was so common that even children raised it in a previous life, the entry-level size was about 20,000 won per insect, but there are records of large ones exceeding 9 centimeters being sold for 10 million won.
That’s why I carried the Silver Sleepers on my shoulders while I was moving, but I was also careful enough to let them sleep in the warm cloth pouches of the fairy at night, so now that I was back at my family’s house, I tried to make the environment as comfortable as possible for them.
If you’re going to raise them, it’s better if they’re big, and since there are only two of them, they can’t fail.
“Okay, then should I put it down?”
He placed the two guys on his shoulders onto his regular palm.
Then, as expected, I felt a round sensation.
I put my hand on the bottom of the box, feeling the soft texture of the things.
I’ll take this box to my room and continue to look after it, but since I’m going to need a bath anyway, I’ll also test whether it likes this environment.
That’s when I put the two guys down on the floor.
The two guys quickly grab my fingers as I slowly raise my head and move away.
They had been so quiet up until now and had not shown any reaction, but as soon as I put them down on the dirt floor, they grabbed my fingers with their short legs.
“huh?”
One is attached to the thumb and the other is attached to the little finger.
But since it was an insect, and a larva at that, it felt a bit too much like it had reacted to anything.
“Okay, let go of Dad’s hand. Let’s both stay home.”
It was the moment when I was about to casually pull away the guys’ short legs and take my hands off.
“Huh? Little Dragon, you have horns?”
When I checked the guys that were hidden by my hand, I saw that their horns, which looked like tentacles, had turned black from the roots.
“Ugh!”
The way they look right now is the way they’re turning black.
It was the appearance that the first hatched guy showed when he was spewing out toxic air.
No matter how I look at it, it feels like it is clearly an expression of being upset.
He shouted urgently at the guys.
“Hey, guys, no, I’m going to leave you guys behind.”
And I quickly took my hands away before they could spray the poison, thinking that maybe they were turning black like the one I hatched at first, but the two of them quickly grabbed my thumb and little finger and crawled back onto my palm.
Then the black color slowly disappears from the guys’ horns.
‘Phew… I almost got in big trouble.’
When you wipe the sweat from your forehead, thinking that you are lucky.

Suddenly, a small light began to bloom from the palm of my hand.
“What, what is this!?”
I looked at my palm with surprised eyes, and a bright light flowed out from the roots of their yellow antennae.
It was a small light, like the candles on a birthday cake, but the strange thing was that at the same time, my palms began to feel cool.
At that sight, the old lord opened his eyes wide and shouted.
“Me, a pure spirit!?”
It was clear that when these guys were in a bad mood, they would blow a lot of air, and when they were in a good mood, they would spread pure feelings.
“Hey, hurry up and get Grandpa and Father-in-law to Mandokshingun!”
“Oh, I understand!”
It’s a great discovery that these guys exude pure energy.
Startled, he immediately ordered the old man to call the two men, and then looked at them with blank eyes.
The leaf-like horns move in a pleasant and languid manner.
As I unconsciously placed them in my hands and took a quick breath of air, the cool sensation on my fingertips began to feel so refreshing that I could clearly feel my strength starting from my fingertips.
The internal energy that had been exposed while spreading light energy to return to the party began to rise again as if a gas pump had been turned on.
I couldn’t help but shudder at that fact.
‘Hey, these guys, it turns out they’re healers!’
It turns out these guys were healers.
When he exuded bright energy, he was a priest, and when he exuded dark energy, he was a dark priest. It felt like that.
Yeah, come to think of it, I was an idiot.
If the one I hatched at first was only able to emit negative energy, I should have thought that it could also emit positive energy, but I never thought about it.
Cheonjeon and Eunjam can be said to be of the same species, but they can also be said to be of different species.
It was clear that the sweet scent or sweet liquid that was emitted when eating the queen ant or luring ants had evolved into a different species and changed to emit two types of pure energy and turbid energy.
When I opened my eyes, both of them were looking at me with surprised eyes, amazed at how I had figured out the different ecology of these guys.
The craftsman and the great-grandfather Mandokshin-gun opened their eyes wide in surprise.
“What, what is this!?”
“Little Dragon, what is this?”
I seriously thought about what to answer to both of their questions.
‘Should I say that I got a healer?’
***
“Did you all sleep well?”
-Tsururut.
-Tsurut.
-Kkuku!
In the morning, I rubbed my eyes, got up from the straw pile, checked on the kids, and checked on the two guys who were stuck to the wall.
“Moji, did you sleep well too?”
The light of the horn briefly brightened and disappeared at my question.
Yesterday, we were able to confirm that the two guys can restore stamina and emit pure energy that can help with luck breakfast, so they were given names.
It’s all thanks to the adults’ encouragement to quickly give him a name since he’s a precious child.
That’s why the two guys with silver sleep were given names in a hurry.
The guys’ names are Moji (拇指) and Soji (小指).
In the Chinese language, it meant thumb and little finger.
Because I always use that when it comes to my hands.
‘The name has a good sense, right?’
Despite their names, these guys have really great abilities, but the elders of the family who have heard my story in various ways have judged their utility to be somewhat ambiguous.
First of all, the guys’ energy is limited to just one person.
It was a solo hill.
There was still no sense of communication there, so I couldn’t let him use his power whenever he wanted. I couldn’t make him feel bad on purpose and then let him use his power.
Well, you could do that to a place like Odokmun, but how can you emotionally abuse the children that Fabre is raising in that way?
If it were another pet, I would scratch its head or chin, but Moji and Soji are caterpillars.
Because I couldn’t scratch it anywhere and I couldn’t guarantee that it would shine that much.
For that reason, I decided to wait a little longer until it was raised to adulthood.
“Okay, then shall we wash up and go eat breakfast?”
He put the soji and moji on his shoulders and wrapped the incense around his shoulders.
And Bin, who had evolved and become much more sleepy, and Cho, who had grown up and could not accompany him, headed out of the residence.
By now, the servants will have received the wash water and are waiting.
-Squeak.
When I opened the door and went out, an unexpected person was waiting for me.
It was Hwa-eun.
“Hwaeun?”
Usually, the servants wait on the servants, but Hwa-eun is waiting with a towel.
When I made a puzzled expression, Hwa-eun answered with an awkward expression.
“I can’t go because I’m scared of the poisonous creatures… I guess I’m scared because there are so many large poisonous creatures.”
Oh my, there are no kids as good as ours, so what kind of nonsense are you talking about?
As I finished washing up, I thought that I should probably advise them to pick people who are ‘possible’ to the next election.
The guardian deity came running and told us the news.
“Your Majesty, I have ordered you to stop by Gajujeon before eating.”
The story goes that the morning breeze is looking for me in Gajujeon.
I nodded, thinking it might be because of Moji and Soji who discovered their special abilities yesterday.
“Okay.”
And the Gajujeon arrived after washing up.
There was an unexpected person waiting inside.
‘No, the morning breeze has been blowing since then···.’
What the old man was waiting for.
“Nice to see you again, Your Majesty.”
“Yeah, how have you been?”
“Yes, but why are you here at this early hour? So, was it you, Elder Geulhwang, who came looking for me?”
Perhaps it was not the craftsman but the emperor who found me.
When I tilted my head wondering why he was looking for me so early in the morning, Geulhwang nodded and answered.
“I have come to you urgently on account of my martial arts alliance.”
“Are you talking about the Murim Alliance?”
The answer I heard from Geulhwang’s mouth was, as expected, that he had come to me because of the Murim Alliance.
This time, I listened in to see what was going on, and Geulhwang’s explanation began.
“So, you know the information you gave to the Murim Alliance last time, right? The Murim Alliance confirmed it······.”
Information we brought back from the Great Wall instead.
The Murim Alliance, which received it, investigated the data and identified two locations that were expected to be the bases of the blood sect.
One place was, of course, beyond the Dai Yue Kingdom, and the other was in the central plains near the border of Guangxi Province.
No, to be exact, it’s an ambiguous place where it’s unclear who owns the land.
It seemed to be because the borders were not clear at the time, so the explanation was that they were trying to secretly move troops and raid the place.
Because you can just hit and run away quickly.
The problem, however, was that the brakes were applied at the coffin.
They say that the government and the martial arts world do not interfere with each other because official duties are inviolable, but a warning was issued because a private armed group kept moving a large number of troops.
For that reason, the Murim Alliance was just sucking its fingers, but then an opportunity came when a strange incident occurred in Akyang.
“They said that if we could find out or resolve the cause of the necrosis that occurred in Akyang, they would turn a blind eye to the movement of troops.”
“A necrosis? Then how about me?”
When I asked him why he was looking for me when there was a necrosis, he smiled.
He stole my mantle without my permission.
“Well, that’s your specialty.”
