How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 22
Chapter 6. Green Forest Road Alliance (1)
“I am truly sorry.”
“No. You didn’t even know when I would come.”
Jegal Hyunmong bowed his head deeply.
At a time when Zhuge Se-ga had a lot to be concerned about, this kind of mistake was truly fatal.
‘Why did I have to have another lucid dream at that time?’
“Anyway, please come in.”
Zhuge Xuanmong said this and guided Zhuge Jun.
Zhuge Jun followed Zhuge Xuanmong for a few steps and then suddenly smiled.
“It’s a nice place.”
“Is that so? It’s just an old moat.”
It’s not that Jegal Hyunmong’s house was a bit old and backward.
I felt that way because I wasn’t originally well off and my father was in debt, so I couldn’t afford to pay for house maintenance.
“No. More than anything, the air is good. It’s so fresh and good that I can’t describe it.”
“… …Please come in.”
Zhuge Xuanmong guided Zhuge Jun.
He brought out the tea and snacks he had prepared. They were not of the highest quality, but Jegal Jun accepted them gratefully.
After taking a short breath like that, Jegal Jun opened his mouth.
“I guess you can already guess why I came here.”
Honestly, I didn’t get it.
It’s not that there weren’t any, it’s that there were too many.
“Please speak.”
“I’ll tell you without hesitation since you’ve already guessed.”
Zhuge Jun adjusted his clothes and glared at Zhuge Xuanmong.
“I know it’s really shameful to ask you this, but would you please lend me your strength for the Zhuge Family?”
“… … .”
In fact, Zhuge Xuanmong had already thought about what Zhuge Jun would say.
Whether you asked about the law or the ridiculous nickname of the Immortal, he was ready to answer.
but.
‘I didn’t expect this.’
Where on earth would a giant power like Zhuge Liang need his power?
“As you know, the prosperity of the Zhuge family is not what it used to be. It is gradually declining.”
‘I don’t know… … No, I know that.’
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
In fact, I knew very well that the Zhuge family’s power was not what it used to be.
This is especially true after the rise of the Sima family.
The Zhuge family is famous for its strategy. In other words, it is famous for having a group of smart people. However, it is also a military family.
It would be best if he was both smart and strong at the same time, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
To begin with, the Zhuge Liang family was not a sect famous for its military power even during its heyday. As seen in the story of Zhuge Liang, it had a strong impression of a mysterious sect that solved problems by showing some kind of transcendental aspect.
But at some point, they began to stand out in the martial arts world and showed themselves in the secular world, and now they have become an ordinary martial arts family.
“Of course, the family has not fallen to the point of being in crisis. It still has the power and influence to be called Sega. However, if we compare its growth with that of other Sega… … The elders of the family believe that it will be difficult to call itself Sega in the next hundred years.”
“hmm.”
Of course, from Jegal Hyunmong’s perspective, it was a full stomach sound.
This is especially true when you think about your own situation as a debtor.
“I understand the situation. But, what can revival do to help?”
“You are really mean, sir. Don’t you already know that?”
‘what.’
It’s just that the story hasn’t been seen yet.
But Jegal Jun accepted it on his own and continued speaking.
“To make the family great again, we need to renew it. I have been looking for a way to do that for a long time. And recently, I discovered a possibility.”
As he spoke, Zhuge Jun looked at Zhuge Xuanmong with glaring eyes.
“It is to accept back the lineage of sool (術宗) that was lost from the family a long time ago.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t that what you wanted too, Your Majesty?”
Jegal Hyunmong smiled broadly.
It was a smile made not because I had any particular intention, but because I still didn’t quite understand what was being said.
‘You should suddenly call it a liquor bottle.’
I know he’s a jerk, but I think this is the real problem.
If you proceed with the story under the assumption that others also know what you know, how can you follow along?
“That’s why he used the nickname ‘Muhou Jaerim’ to attract my attention and set up a strategy that was passed down from his family a long time ago. To return to the Zhuge family.”
“… … .”
And at those words, Jegal Xuanmong suddenly gained enlightenment.
A book of laws that was thrown away after being organized into miscellaneous books.
Jegal Se-ga was once a mysterious man, but has since fallen to an ordinary warrior.
His ancestor who was released from the Zhuge family long ago.
And the father who inherited the legacy of those ancestors.
An incense burner, one of his father’s relics.

Everything fell into place.
‘I see. I was the son of Zhuge Liang.’
Actually, I still don’t know exactly what a liquor bottle is.
However, it was easy to guess that they were people who were obsessed with some kind of magic like Jegal Hyunmong, and that they had been pushed out of the confrontation with the martial arts faction and had become a sect of sects.
But that’s not what’s important now.
“Not really.”
Jegal Hyunmong took a deep breath to collect his thoughts and his eyes lit up.
‘This is an opportunity.’
Up until now, Jegal Hyunmong had been very nervous.
Even if Zhuge Jun drew his sword after seeing what Zhuge Xuanmong had done, saying that it was a case of the destruction of a knight or a leak of vision, he had nothing to say.
Of course, Jegal Jun was very polite to Jegal Xuanmong, but it is impossible to rule out the possibility that he might attack him while talking, saying, “How dare you tarnish my family’s name! Die!”
It can be said that such a thing would not have happened since the Zhuge Liang faction was a faction that valued face and legitimacy, but they had to be even more careful.
So, there was only one thing that Zhuge Xuanmong had to do now.
Matching the rhythm.
Jegal Hyunmong’s eyes were filled with sorrow.
“I didn’t really have any intention of going back.”
“… … .”
“We share the same surname, but as you said, we have been separated for a long time. Now, we are no different from others… … No, maybe we are in a worse situation than others. I just heard a rumor and wanted to check it out.”
Zhuge Jun couldn’t speak.
In the past, it was well known that the drinking clan was almost always driven out of the family.
‘I heard that he constantly demanded money, demanded huge resources for research, and did strange things while squandering all the family fortune, but that’s probably not true.’
There’s also a saying that history belongs to the victors.
What if you were dishonorably kicked out of your family by being framed?
‘Come to think of it.’
Just looking at Jegal Hyeonmong’s jade, it is evident.
Thanks to the fresh air, it’s hard to say the condition is good.
“I know Confucius’s name. He is one of the three chieftains of the Zhuge family. He is one of the candidates to become the next head of the Zhuge family, right?”
As they say, even a rotten tooth is a good thing, information about the Jegal family came in one way or another, so Jegal Hyunmong also knew about Jegal Jun.
A talented person who is said to have been raised with great care by the Jegal family.
Jegal Hyunmong thought about it for a moment.
Although it was unexpected, Zhuge Jun’s proposal was actually quite good.
‘It’s not a bad idea to accept the offer.’
At least the debt will be paid.
And, you will also be able to see the vision of the Suljong that will be in the Jegal family.
But that’s all.
“I was just curious. At least for now, I have no intention of going to Zhuge Liang.”
Jegal Hyunmong hated being bothered.
I heard that it has been a long time since the Suljong clan split off from the Jegal family, so how many magic books would remain?
To be honest, it couldn’t be said that throwing oneself into the world of Jegal Se-ga in search of things that might or might not exist was a profitable business.
“okay.”
Zhuge Jun’s face darkened slightly, perhaps because he was as disappointed as he had expected.
“but.”
“… … ?”
“We can help each other.”
I have no intention of following Zhuge Jun and joining the Zhuge clan.
But, despite that, Zhuge Xuanmong needed a background.
‘I have no choice but to reveal the magic I possess at some point.’
It’s not something that gets hidden just because you try to hide it.
Even though it may be possible to get away with it now with a little deception and words, later on, when the chains are built up and the realm is further developed, it will no longer be possible to deceive with such things.
It could be considered a special sorcery or, in the worst case, a type of magic.
At that time, if the Zhuge family steps forward, it would be possible to sufficiently clear up the misunderstanding.
“underneath.”
“Are you satisfied with just making a small connection today? How do you feel?”
“……great!”
After saying that, Zhuge Jun nodded his head.
“Please take good care of me, sir!”
“No, that kind of talk too… … I’m not the type of person to hear that kind of talk, and I’m not that old either.”
“Then, since I am two years younger, I will call you ‘hyung-nim’, Hyunmong-nim.”
“No, but how?”
Jegal Hyunmong and Jegal Jun argued for a while, but in the end Jegal Hyunmong decided to accept his brother’s words as if he was half-defeating.
After we had sorted out our terms of address, we chatted lightly.
But that was only for a moment.
“Haaam.”
“Are you sleepy?”
“Yes, bro. Actually, I haven’t slept for about three days.”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong stuck out his tongue inwardly.
The reason why I couldn’t sleep was clear.
It must be because he lost sleep trying to figure out the strategy he had developed.
“Then I’ll sleep here tonight… … um.”
Jegal Hyunmong smiled bitterly as he spoke.
In fact, the room that was prepared to welcome Zhuge Jun was just a single room that he was currently using as his own room.
The rest was honestly quite a mess, not a good place to be, either for yourself or for anyone else to provide for.
“No. My friends are waiting for me, so I should go back. Oh, and… … .”
As he said that, Zhuge Jun took something out of his bosom.
It was a box containing the Qingling Pills that Samarin had given.
“It’s small, but it’s a gift.”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong looked at it without realizing it.
It wasn’t because I was attracted to the luxury of the box.
To be exact, it was because I had a strange feeling about the things inside it.
“What is this?”
“This is Cheongryong-hwan made by Samasega. It is made from good medicinal ingredients, and it is said that just one pill will strengthen your body and increase your yang energy. I originally received it as compensation for a bet, but I will give it to you to celebrate today. And.”
Jegal Jun placed the box on the desk and continued speaking as if he had just remembered something.
“One thing. I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“It would be best to get out of the Green Forest Road Alliance quickly.”
