How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 40
Chapter 10. Will (1)
Plum blossom fairy Cheon Yeo-hyang lost her family to Mine when she was young.
It was a sudden event. Without any warning or foreshadowing, Mine came to the mountain village and started killing people indiscriminately.
He said it was for the advancement of magic.
‘You worthless filthy rascals can help me develop my magic. Shouldn’t I die happily?’
Cheon Yeo-hyang’s parents tried hard to save their child.
I let Cheon Yeo-hyang run away and confronted Mine with a sickle or a hoe. But I couldn’t fight Mine with those things.
At the moment when her parents died and even Cheon Yeo-hyang was on the verge of death, a warrior from the Hwasan faction appeared.
He killed Mine in one breath, using a sword technique that resembled a plum blossom.
The master was a martial artist belonging to the plum blossom faction of the Hwasan faction. The foundation of the plum blossom sword technique that Cheon Yeo-hyang used was also created by the master. Although he was unable to complete it.
After her master was killed by Madou, Cheon Yeo-hyang devoted herself to perfecting the Plum Blossom Sword Technique.
But no matter how much he swung his sword, the enemy who killed his master did not appear, and he could not overcome the wall that he had to overcome to complete the Plum Blossom Sword Technique.
“It was during this time that Confucius gave me enlightenment.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang’s speech had returned, but her attitude had become much softer than before.
To a warrior, martial arts are like life itself.
Moreover, he helped to break down that wall.
If it had been a sorcery or trickery, it would not have come to me in the first place.
For Cheon Yeo-hyang, Jegal Hyun-mong was like a savior to her life.
“It won’t last long.”
“It doesn’t matter. Now that I know it can be done, I might be able to do it myself later. And maybe, later on, I’ll be able to emit the scent of plum blossoms even with an iron sword.”
As she said that, Cheon Yeo-hyang smiled.
After that, the story went by quickly.
After hearing the story about the Nokrim Road Alliance, Cheon Yeo-hyang said that she would report the story of the Nokrim Road Alliance to the Murim Alliance, and that she would take steps to ensure that they were appropriately compensated for this incident.
“But you have to be careful. It’s true that there are people who look down on the Nokrim Road Alliance.”
One of the reasons why he acted somewhat violently in the Murim Alliance was because of pressure from other large sects and merchants who had a grudge against the Iron Flower Association.
This time it will pass, but many other people are watching.
“And at the center of it all is Confucius.”
“Is that you?”
“Yes. Because the story of the second coming of the Wuhou is constantly circulating. In the Murim Alliance, it has been analyzed that the center of the Nokrim Road Alliance is Confucius, and in my opinion, that doesn’t seem to be wrong. Wouldn’t it be better to be careful?”
“… … .”
“Whether it’s martial arts, sorcery, or some other external force, it might be a good idea to have some means of protecting yourself. If the Green Forest Alliance was created thanks to Confucius, then the enemies will think that only Confucius can somehow destroy the Green Forest Alliance.”
That was a story that even Zhuge Liang was aware of.
“Even if that weren’t the case, there would be many who would covet Confucius’ mysterious tricks. This is especially true for the demons. They tend to value people with special lineage or talent more highly than ordinary people… … .”
“Hmm.”
“So here’s a suggestion. Would you like to join the Murim Alliance?”
“Are you talking about the Murim Alliance?”
Cheon Yeo-hyang nodded.
In fact, if you join the Murim Alliance, many problems will be solved.
No one would dare touch Jegal Hyunmong, who is a member of the Murim Alliance.
Even if you use some strange tricks, if you use them to protect the peace of the world as a member of the Murim Alliance, no one will say anything.
In addition, since you will be given a position, you will be able to access a much wider range of materials than you do now, and you will be able to receive rare materials and such… … .
“Thank you for your kind words, but I’m sorry.”
“Why?”
“I know it wasn’t my intention from the beginning, but now that I’ve gotten involved, how can I just sit back and watch? I have to do my best until the end.”
“Are you saying you will keep your integrity like your ancestors?”
“At least we can help them not go down the wrong path.”
Although I wasn’t prepared to sacrifice my body for Shu like my ancestors, I still had a lot of affection for them.
“And, even if you’re not a member of the Murim Alliance, I can still help you. I may not be able to do anything great, but I will not spare my assistance if needed.”
“… … That’s really nice to hear.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang was delighted.
In fact, Zhuge Liang’s abilities were amazing.
Especially the ability to track the aftereffects of magic.
‘If there is something like that, maybe we can deal with the giant demon.’
In the world of martial arts, there were giants that even the Murim Alliance could not easily touch.
For various reasons.
Like being too powerful, building up power, or having unknown whereabouts.
Even though the Murim Alliance was active, it did not drive out all the demons.
And, it wasn’t a bad deal for Zhuge Xuanmong either.
‘Even if you don’t belong to the Murim Alliance, if you form a connection like this, you can create a safety net.’
In this way, Cheon Yeo-hyang, who had returned with Jegal Hyeon-mong, concluded the matter by saying that the Magic Book had been recovered thanks to Jegal Hyeon-mong’s efforts, and that the Murim Alliance would take responsibility for all the damage that had occurred.
Some later figures, such as Zhuge Jun and Sima Lin, seemed to have noticed something, but did not point it out in any significant way.
After the people of the Murim Alliance left, the people of Daeryongpyo were able to feel greatly relieved.
Daily life came to Jegal Hyunmong as well.
It wasn’t a very desirable routine.
‘Oh, I don’t want to go to work.’
* * *
Since the retreat of the Murim Alliance, Jegal Hyunmong has become quite busy.

First of all, Jegal Hyeonmong was still a member of the Daeryongpyo Kingdom.
As soon as he got to work, Jegal Hyeonmong was called by Pyo Guk-ju and met Im Chung for the first time in a long time.
“It’s hard to see your face these days.”
“There were circumstances.”
“I know that too. But, how should I put it, I feel a little sorry. It feels like my little room has been taken away from me.”
Jegal Hyunmong felt a little creeped out.
The words were nice, but I wish they would stop looking at me like I was looking at a stolen lover.
“Yeah, so now the work is more or less finished? You have a lot of work to do.”
“What are you going to do?”
“The company has grown rapidly recently. We need to increase our size and strengthen our internal structure accordingly. There are also many things that require money.”
“Hmm.”
Jegal Hyunmong couldn’t help but nod his head.
Cheon Yeo-hyang said indirectly that many sects in Sacheon were putting pressure on her.
“Are you being subject to restraint from other nations or sects?”
“I can’t say that there aren’t any. There are also occasional disputes… … Recently, there have been quite a few people questioning the credibility of Daeryongpyoguk due to the fire in the warehouse. It must have been a rumor spread by those who received orders from other pagodas.”
“… … .”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. Rather, I can use this opportunity to strengthen my foundation. If I can’t overcome one or two difficulties like this, how can I talk about becoming the best in Sacheon?”
Im Chung smiled as he said that.
‘Your ambition is starting to show.’
From the beginning, Im Chung was ambitious.
This was a fact that could be seen just by looking at his actions, such as his diligent efforts to sign a contract with the Yangga Group.
“I’m thinking of hiring a lot of manpower now. Since you are often absent from the Pyoguk, I’ll use this opportunity to promote you to the position of General of the Daeryongpyoguk and also need someone to take over your duties.”
“Are you talking about the General?”
It was an unconventional greeting.
Until recently, he was just an ordinary student, but no matter how much ability he displayed, he suddenly became a governor.
‘Ah, there was no general in the first place.’
It was possible because Daeryongpyo-guk was only a small country, but it was also burdensome.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I… … .”
“You don’t have to feel too burdened. It’s just a position, and I don’t intend to impose any responsibilities on you. Just don’t forget that you belong to the Daeryongpyo Kingdom, and help me out whenever necessary.”
“Then I don’t have to go to work?”
“… … Don’t you like it too much?”
Im Chung nodded, although his expression was somewhat timid.
“You decide and act on your own.”
It was truly welcome news.
After finishing his conversation with Im Chung, Jegal Hyunmong, who had returned to his seat, realized that his thoughts were a little wrong.
‘… … There’s a lot to do.’
While Jegal Hyunmong was doing this and that, there were quite a lot of things that had to be done and taken care of.
Although other people took care of the things that could not be put off and resolved them to some extent, Jegal Hyunmong was still not satisfied.
Well, it felt like something was going against my will.
It’s like coming home to find your room unclean and a mess.
A feeling of boiling blood for no reason.
‘Did our ancestors feel this way too?’
Zhuge Xuanmong sighed as he recalled the anecdote about Zhuge Liang.
It is true that I have neglected my duties as a leader for a long time. I could not help but feel an inevitable sense of responsibility.
While thinking like that, Jegal Hyunmong woke up Im Jun-gyu, who was sleeping with his face buried in a pile of documents as if he had stayed up all night, by poking him with his magic wand.
“Get up, Mr. Lim. You have to get to work.”
“… … .”
Lim Jun-gyu made a face as if his soul was leaving his body for a moment.
After finishing up my work at the office to some extent, I returned home.
Of course, I didn’t get everything done in one day.
But it was okay. Jegal Hyunmong was now the governor, and he was in a position above everyone else, a position that allowed him to give work to Im Jun-gyu.
Of course, coming back didn’t mean everything was over.
“Oh, you’re back. Why are you so late?”
“Didn’t you know? Ordinary people do something called work.”
“You’re going to hit me? I’ll hire you.”
“Oh my, Hwaryeong. I was the one who made the appointment first.”
“Yeah, right? But it’s not first-come, first-served, and he’s the one who chooses.”
“Everyone, can you please not fight? If my brother stops fighting, he will naturally come to Zhuge Liang.”
Jegal Hyunmong smiled brightly.
‘I wish it would all go away.’
But that couldn’t be done.
First of all, it was all my own accumulated karma.
Second, they were stronger than him.
‘I must hurry and keep my promise.’
Until then, I felt like I couldn’t do anything.
