How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 60
Chapter 15. Party Agreement (1)
“No, why are you suddenly talking about that? I have my own schedule and circumstances. Above all, I’ve been having a hard time recently, so I want to rest for a while.”
“I totally understand that. But I don’t think it’s such a bad suggestion for you either.”
“Why?”
Instead of answering, Dang Hwa-ryeong pointed at the Daeryongpyo-guk that was causing a ruckus with his finger.
“Hahahahaha! Long live Master Zhuge Liang!”
The Hound, heavily intoxicated, was roaring.
I had told him that he absolutely had to be purified to block Cheongsong, but the sight of him finally coming out was truly thrilling.
“You don’t like that kind of thing. Besides, everyone around you came out to see it. If you pass by for a while, people will be curious.”
“Isn’t there something called a human face mask in the martial arts world? Is there any way to obtain one?”
“I don’t know what kind of fantasy novel you read, but there’s no way something like that could exist. And then there’s the infidelity… … Just hearing the word is terrifying.”
Jegal Hyunmong was frustrated by the cruel reality that left him with no dreams or hope.
“So, how about you stay at my house until the commotion dies down?”
“Hmm. That’s true. But wouldn’t it be the same if I just stayed home and didn’t come out?”
‘No, this kid is really hard to persuade.’
Dang Hwa-ryeong sighed.
“Since we are of the same faith, it’s not like we’re going too far, and you should use the token of appreciation you received from me, right? And.”
“and?”
“My uncle wants to see you.”
“If it’s your uncle, then the Sachon Dang family?”
“Yes. Cheolsu Bipyo Danggon. He is one of the best masters known even in Sacheon Dangga.”
“… …Why is someone like that curious about me?”
“You’re not asking because you really don’t know, are you?”
Of course not.
Zhuge Xuanmong sighed deeply.
“Then I guess there’s nothing I can do… … .”
“No, I know it’s a bit odd for me to say this, but my uncle is quite the martial arts master. Don’t you hate seeing him so much?”
“Am I not a martial artist?”
“… … ?”
Tang Hwa-ryeong tilted his head as he watched Jegal Hyeon-mong making strange noises.
After working at the Pyoguk, creating the Nokrim Road Alliance, and diligently fighting with the disciples of the Cheongseongpa, what is this he is talking about now?
“Anyway, I understand. Where should I go tomorrow?”
“No, I’m at home. My uncle told me about your house in advance and said he thought it would be fun and wanted to try it out.”
I had installed Mirijin to get rid of annoying interruptions, but after installing it, it seemed to just cause more inconveniences.
“Okay, then let’s do that.”
* * *
“Whahahahahaha! That’s really amazing. You said it was Mirijin? That’s the first time I’ve experienced such a strange sensation!”
The next day.
After hearing Dang-gon’s words, Jegal Hyeon-mong realized that what he had vaguely thought was true.
‘It was the same during the time of Lord Ma, but for those who have reached the peak of their power, the effectiveness of the formation is actually halved.’
Tang Hwa-ryeong said that when you reach the first-class level, it is possible to strengthen your energy to a certain extent. This is because the energy extends not only to the body but also to the outside, forming a certain area.
So, it is said that at a certain level, you can sense hostility, unexpected surprise attacks, and murderous intent much more sensitively than before.
However, it is not perfect and requires a certain amount of internal energy to be used, but it is said that at the peak stage, it is possible to maintain that state at all times.
“It’s nice to meet you. My name is Jegal and my name is Hyeonmong. I am a scholar. It is an honor to meet the great swordsman Danggon, who is renowned in the martial arts world.”
“That’s enough of the grand formalities. You are my benefactor!”
“yes?”
We haven’t even known each other for that long, so what kind of benefactor are you?
“Thanks to you, I won a lot of money from gambling. How could I not be your benefactor? Watt-ha-ha!”
Jegal Xuanmong looked at Dang Hwaryeong.
Dang Hwa-ryeong nodded silently.
‘Ah, that’s the kind of person he is.’
“I saw you in action yesterday. You are as smart as I’ve heard. You deserve the nickname of ‘Muhou Jaerim.’”
“It is too much of a title for me.”
“Yeah, Hwaryeong said the same thing. I heard you don’t like hearing that sound. But I thought it suited me.”
“Why?”
Before coming here, Danggon took a quick look at the atmosphere.
A union of sign states, including Daeryongpyo and Jinryeongpyo.
The match between the two ended in victory for Daeryongpyo-guk. However, the prognosis was not as bad as expected.
“Originally, this incident started as a check on the other countries that were wary of the rapid growth of Daeryongpyo-guk. That means Daeryongpyo-guk has many enemies. However, due to yesterday’s match, the two sides recognized each other and accepted the result. The culmination of this was the one-on-one duel between Daeryongpyo-guk’s leader, Im Jun-gyu, and Cheongsong.”
As the two first-class masters fought and polished their skills, they succeeded in breaking down the wall blocking them and growing together.
It was said that Jinryeongpyogukju did not hold Cheongsong severely accountable even though he unilaterally declared defeat.
“Also, the Great Dragon Pyo State also moved as soon as the sun rose. Even before the match was decided, he arranged a meeting of the Pyo States and discussed sharing the pass line that was shown at the Pyo State yesterday and an alliance with the Nokrim Road Alliance. Wasn’t that also part of your strategy?”
“… … .”
Aside from being generous, he was a sharper person than I thought.
It was just as Danggon said.
“Daeryongpyoguk is growing. However, as a new pyoguk, it lacks substance. In such a situation, if you try to expand too much, you will only end up bigger and more insolvent. That is why you have probably suppressed your ambitions to some extent.”
“Actually, I didn’t think that far ahead. It was just a stopgap measure, because even if we win the match, if we continue like this, the checks from Daeryongpyo-guk will not end.”

In fact, there is nothing that Daeryongpyo-guk can gain by competing with Jinryongpyo-guk.
Even if we win, problems will continue to arise, and if that happens.
‘I’m going to keep getting into trouble.’
“Even if you think so, the results speak for themselves. Even if you don’t like being called the ‘Muhujaerim,’ you should call me that.”
“Hmm.”
“In that sense, I have a favor to ask.”
“Are you talking to me?”
Danggon nodded.
“Do you know about the Sacheondangga agreement?”
“Yes. I heard that Sacheondangga regularly helps out with difficult issues that the government cannot reach. Thanks to that, I heard that the common people really like Sacheondangga.”
Jegal Hyunmong began his habitual flattery without even licking his lips.
At those words, Danggon chuckled.
“Haha, as you know, it’s not for pure reasons. It’s also done to improve the party’s public image.”
Sacheondangga deals with poison and secret weapons.
Since it was a martial art that was not likely to be well-received, it was inevitable.
So, the idea was to resolve any difficulties the people were facing through consultation.
Sometimes they act as problem solvers, sometimes as lawmakers, and sometimes as hunters who handle things like compatibility.
“Usually, they do some work outside the family and do other things side by side. I’m no different.”
“I guess something went wrong along the way.”
“That’s right.”
Danggon nodded.
“In the village I visited, people were dying of illness for no apparent reason. When I looked into the cause, I found out that it was because of poisonous air coming down from the mountains.”
“… … Are you talking about poison?”
“Yes. It’s a village at the foot of a mountain. I heard that there weren’t any particular problems before, but it suddenly started happening recently. They say something strange has happened.”
With that in mind, Dang-gon began to investigate, and like an expert on poison, he quickly discovered the cause.
This is what happened when a poisonous substance settled in the mountain. And as the poison grew in influence, the poison gradually spread.
“But since you’re talking to me… … I guess you couldn’t find it.”
“It’s not a plant, but an animal. I haven’t even figured out its identity yet, perhaps because it’s just wary. It seems to have noticed my presence, so I guess it’s safe to assume it’s a demon.”
“Are you talking about a monster?”
“Yes. Just as humans are possessed by demons, when a small creature touches or comes into contact with demonic energy, it becomes a monster. That’s why the Murim Alliance strictly manages matters related to demonic energy.”
“I see. But is there a reason you’re telling me this?”
“I heard that you have a special ability to find or detect traces of magic.”
Jegal Hyunmong tilted his head.
“I’ve never been good at that. Who told you that?”
“The martial arts alliance’s Cheon Yeo-hyang female warrior… … My niece is like that too.”
slap!
Jegal Hyunmong looked at Dang Hwaryeong with his head bent and his neck bent.
Tang Hua Ling was unusually flustered.
“Hey, it’s not just me! Why are you looking at me like that?”
“What do my eyes look like? Do they look like the eyes of someone who has been betrayed by someone they trusted?”
“I didn’t know that would happen!”
“Ah, I wonder if this is how the ancestors felt when Maengdal betrayed them.”
“No, this kid has nothing to compare him to, so how can you compare him to Maengdal!”
When Dang Hwa-ryeong got angry, Dang Gon laughed and patted Jegal Hyunmong on the shoulder.
“Don’t be like that. It won’t be a big loss for you. Of course, I’ll compensate you.”
“… … To what extent?”
Danggon spread his hands lightly.
“ten?”
“Of course it’s white.”
“Oh… … Really?”
“Really. Half of it is like the money you earned.”
Jegal Xuanmong put his hands together.
“I was already very interested in the Sacheondangga’s consultation. I would be honored if you would let me join you.”
“Hahahaha! I’m sure you’ll be satisfied! It’s quite fun and rewarding!”
Dang Hwa-ryeong looked on with pitiful eyes as the two men teamed up.
So the accompaniment was decided.
* * *
Danggon kicked the door with his foot.
Even though the door was made quite thick, it shattered here and there with a loud noise as soon as it was kicked.
“What the!? What kind of guys are they?”
“It’s me. Do you remember my face?”
When Danggon pointed to his face, the faces of the men who had been rushing out turned ashen.
“Why again… …! Didn’t you just come and go a little while ago!”
“Yeah, I was passing by and came to see how our Sapa kids were doing.”
“Why are you doing this only to us! Please go to the other Sapa sect next door… …!”
“Huh? You don’t seem to want me to come? Is there something bothering you? First, tell the boss to come down quickly. I know what’s going on. I’ll just count to ten.”
“I don’t know… …!”
When Zhuge Xuanmong saw Danggon invading the Sapha sect and causing trouble, he thought:
‘There was a reason why the perception of Sacheondangga did not improve.’
