Episode 59: Unknown text
“Your Majesty!”
As I folded the paper carefully and put it in my bosom and went outside, Danyarang came running out smiling brightly.
I came to my senses and looked around.
But something has increased.
“What happened?”
Danshikang looking at him with a complicated expression. Danbong giggling. Danyeokman snorting indifferently while crossing his arms.
And Dan Ji-ho and Dan Tae-yong looking on indifferently.
It’s a slaughterhouse. They came here and were looking this way.
“Ah, that’s… …you came to save us.”
“Those guys?”
“yes!”
It was quite a lot of thought, but at the end of it all, a smile appeared. I was impressed by the thought of going beyond the line of death to save Jo Won.
When I looked into the distance, the fog that had burned down earlier had returned to its original place as if it had never existed.
You came so quickly. If the power came on in that short time, there wouldn’t have been any time to hesitate.
I thought that Madona and Jeongpa’s love for their family was an eternal thing.
When I glanced at the crew members, their expressions were full of pride.
I nodded my head in agreement.
Yeah, laugh. You deserve it.
“You did something reckless, cutting the rope.”
Danjiho approached me, held out his hand, and spoke. His fierce gaze was fixed on the sword hanging from my waist. The sword hung shabbily without a scabbard.
He spoke awkwardly, handing me a sword that had some bruises here and there.
“The weather is not so good. You said you were a captain. It’s time to change. It’s the perfect place for a third-rate warrior.”
“This is my mother’s heirloom.”
“All beginnings start from third-rate. Your appearance is beautiful.”
“Okay, give it to me.”
Yes, that’s right. I took out my sword and handed it over, then scratched the area under my eyes. When I looked around for no reason, the expressions on my crew members’ faces seemed to have changed subtly.
[I didn’t say everything… … .]
Even though I didn’t ask, Danyarang twisted her body and sent a message first. You know how to choose your words, you’re better than me.
I nodded my head repeatedly as if I did a good job.
“There was no need to do this.”
Danjiho spoke again. Unlike his cold tone, his eyes showed an apologetic look.
“Don’t be sorry. It’s nothing serious.”
“Who said sorry!”
You. Those guys. All of them. Are you just acting like a criminal?
But I didn’t have the heart to fuss over such things. If I were in the same situation, I would have done the same thing to anyone.
“No, not at all. Thanks for coming.”
“… … What kind of religious leader says something like that so easily?”
“They say that gratitude is light, and discomfort is heavy.”
“Who said such nonsense? How embarrassing.”
Yang Jagak who lived in Shanxi. Nada, Inma.
“By the way, you know how to get out, right?”
I calmly changed the subject and asked.
“… … I couldn’t inform the palace because of the emergency.”
Just came. Phew. I took a deep breath. It seems like there are rumors that I have learned the Heavenly Demonic Art. Not one or two, but dozens.
“Okay. If you look for it, there will be a way.”
Anyway, just knock him out and take him out.
Let’s take a quick look around after deciding on an answer. Their expressions looked like those of children with a sour look on their faces, as if they still had something to say.
“Why are you doing that?”
“what.”
When he asked bluntly, the crew members, including Danjiho, surrounded him.
If I had to list the emotions in the eyes, they would be distrust, suspicion, and distrust.
“Why did you come all the way here without a plan? Why did you rescue the crew members?”
“Does that matter now?”
“I need to know.”
“Sense of responsibility as a small group leader?”
“Don’t joke around! When you treat your sister like an old shoe, do you think it makes sense?”
“Oh, right. I was just going to throw the kids away, but I accidentally cut them all up.”
“also!”
But this guy? What does it mean that he finally feels relieved? When he raises his eyebrows in anger because he is so dumbfounded, the crew members look at him innocently and giggle.
“See, I knew it.”
“Haha. I almost fainted from surprise?”
I shook my head and turned away. Anyway, this is why those guys from Myunggyo are no good. They have no dignity.
“What was in that house?”
Danjiho approached me in a friendly manner, as if he was at ease, and asked in a dull tone.
The crew members followed along at once.
“I don’t know, Inma.”
“What… … ? Phew. I’m not a kid. Are you upset?”

Don’t laugh. You’re being rude.
But maybe… … .
Let’s look at the crew again, they are full of laughter, what’s so good about this situation.
Just a little bit.
I had a feeling that maybe we had gotten closer.
* * *
Myunggyo Ilbong Somyeonggung
In the basement of the Somyeong Palace, an unimaginable sight unfolded.
Descending the stairs through a hidden entrance in each wing reveals a crude-looking yet intricately carved underground passageway.
The night light showed the way by emitting a soft light, and as we continued to descend and reached the end, a wide space in the shape of a hexagon appeared.
This is the meeting place, Somyeongjeon.
Those who entered from each annex reached the terraces on the left and right, like a stream of monks returning to their hometown, and faced each other.
In the middle, a path is formed by gray stone slabs bearing flame patterns, while a large iron gate blocks the north.
On the other hand, to the south, the Taesa Temple for Macheonso was built on the largest and highest platform.
The meeting at the Somyeongjeon Hall had already begun, although the owner of the seat was not yet aware of it.
“It seems that His Majesty the Blood King has safely joined the Sangjae Palace.”
The first place where the sound was heard was the left side of the platform in front of the north gate.
Knock knock, knock knock.
The one who revealed himself with his wheeled helmet on. He is Cheon Gi-ja, Zhuge Tong.
As he spoke, a response was heard from the other end.
“I may be good at business, but I’m not good at anything else. What can I do when even the Great Master of Geumgi, whom I trust so much, is on my side?”
A woman with a voice as captivating as a swan. She appeared with a dignified gait, wearing a sky-blue top that was transparent.
This is Baek Sa-hwa Han So So Da.
“I’m looking forward to the Secret Palace Conference. Hehe. I wonder how the Blood Princess will react. It’s a shame that I can’t go and see it in person.”
“Don’t expect anything. Even if you go, he won’t show anything.”
“How is that so?”
“Yalyucheon is a being that lives with a volcano under the flat land. It never erupts unless it is a certain time.”
Han So-so said it as if it was nothing, but Zhuge Tong’s ears perked up.
I judged that since she was the princess, the truth would be worse.
“Hmm… … . You are more sophisticated than you are known to be.”
“Yes. There are only two ways to see his other side. Those who believe him completely and those who have to make him believe. So don’t expect anything.”
“Even so, it’s impossible for his insides to be ok.”
Despite Han So-so’s cold words, Zhuge Tong smiled confidently.
“Yes, I guess so.”
Han So So also agreed with this. It was clear that the Princess of Blood would step into the trap they had set without any suspicion.
“The rule that the princesses cannot harm each other. They probably don’t realize that the rule they created will become a trap that will hold them back.”
Lower extremity.
It was a law unique to the palace that held each other accountable through their subordinates.
It was proposed by Yal Yu-cheon himself, and it was accepted long ago and is still practiced today.
Some say that it was to restrain Guyang Long, who was unrivaled in assassination, but in reality, it was to express the fact that Yelü Tian, who considered himself a member of the imperial family, could not hold anyone accountable for his crimes.
But now it was clear that the arrangement would return to the poisonous state.
As long as Hyul-ra exists, no one will be able to hold the Crown Princess Sangjae accountable for her sins.
“Now that he has grown distant from Yasun, he no longer has the means to embrace Princess Sangjae. So what can he do? He must do something to prevent her from harboring other intentions.”
“That’s right. If it were me, I would have thought of cutting off the feet first. There’s a great tool called the lower limb prosthesis.”
“Yes. If you give me the gold, I’ll be enough as a hostage. But if it’s not him but Hyul-ra who shows up, then it’ll be different. But… … We think the same. It’s dangerous.”
“Keuheu… … . Keuheuheu.”
Even as he looked at Han So-so, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, Zhuge Tong let out a sinister smile.
When I first heard this proposal from Hansoso, I was deeply impressed.
Why does Han So So want to send Hyul Ra to Sang Jae Palace? What do you expect from the Big Palace Conference?
I knew it from the moment I heard it.
So even though I tried to hold it in, I couldn’t stop laughing.
The Great Heavenly Demon Lord, who was reborn as a great demon after becoming a small cult leader, and Han So-so, who is much stronger and smarter than expected.
Even though Cheon Gi-ja-na knows everything in the world, the future of Myeong-gyo was something that could never have been predicted.
“Shouldn’t we trust each other now? Don’t be angry.”
“Yes, I believe you. But don’t forget. A woman’s heart can change at any moment.”
Han So-so turned around with a smile.
Lightly, lightly, she disappears into the passage leading to her own annex.
The remaining Zhuge Tong grinned and muttered.
“Remember that. Your Majesty, don’t forget. I too may change my mind at any time.”
* * *
Two hours passed as they set up camp in front of the house and began searching.
Some people went into the pond and looked into the water, some stared at the watermill as it spun hundreds of times, and some dug up the ground as if plowing a field.
But nothing came out.
That was all the text that Ma Cheon-so had written down.
There was even a heated argument over the interpretation of this.
“Eternal immutability… … . I think I know.”
“What is it?”
“The backs of the political bastards. That will never change. No matter what. If you give them money, they will be gentlemen, but if you stab them with a knife, they will turn into traitors.”
“Haha. That makes sense.”
“Shit.”
Have you been at Myunggyo too long? You’re starting to swear when you’re with these guys.
Anyway, I didn’t reveal that I wrote the text, so the pointless conversation ended before long.
Before we knew it, the tired crew members scattered in all directions like a herd of goats released from the pen, each spending their own time.
I too was spending time alone, watching the situation and deciding when to take her out.
“The Heavenly Demon helped me.”
A thick voice flowed from the side. I glanced over and saw two people standing there.
One is a giant extra. And the other is.
“Ohhohoho. I admit it.”
It’s a rather unusual-looking single peak.
Thud! The supporting actor sat down next to me, pretending not to know anything.
“what?”
“Big! Whether it was a mistake or something. It wasn’t easy. You survived, thank you.”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“Otherwise it would be a lie, but since I saved the children, it can’t be true either.”
What is this refreshing way of speaking? Is your future dream to be a Uhwadengseon in Kunlun Mountain?
“What are you trying to say?”
“No, I mean. What, that. Big! I saw it again, you know?”
“Oh, that’s hard to say. And get your head out of the way.”
I clicked my tongue and pushed the guy’s head. Then this time, I heard Danbong’s faint voice from the side.
“You mustered up that courage. I saw it again. Hohohoho.”
Yeah, thanks. But.
“Why is the water lily standing?”
“Kiyoooot!”
Danbong suddenly runs off into the distance, splitting it into pieces. Is that an arm or a leg?
“Great! Anyway… … I admit it. He has some manly qualities. Maybe he’s a better person than I thought?!”
I waved one hand and rested my chin on my forehead.
“I’m not curious, so go.”
“greatness!”
I wave my hand in disbelief and it disappears into the distance.
Just as I was about to frown and turn my head again, this time Dan Taeyong and Dan Si-gang slowly walked towards me.
“… … I am grateful, but don’t think that means I have faith in the cult leader.”
“I told you not to be so talkative. Phew!”
Why do I feel dirty when you say thank you? Anyway, the expression is very clever.
Let’s take a quick look around. The crew members seemed to be taking a deep sleep one by one, perhaps because they were tired.
Let’s take them out when everyone is asleep.
I made up my mind and lay down on the floor.
A day passed like that at Anga where Ma Cheon-so was staying.
