Episode 488
* * *
It took two days to get to the palace.
At first, I thought I would stay a little longer, but it just didn’t happen. Why did I come to this eastern continent?
I have a purpose. I have to find Ragnarok. Meeting Cheonma is part of the process. The group called Cheonwicheon is annoying, but they are not important. It means they are lower in priority.
I have kept my promise with the Asura Emperor, so there is no need for me to stay here any longer.
I think it was called Manwoldae. A famous place in the palace.
It is night now. And today is the full moon day.
I looked up at the sky. It was breathtaking. There was a huge full moon in the cloudless sky, and I couldn’t think of anything else to say other than breathtaking.
The name Manwoldae was quite fitting. I could guess its fame. I was looking up at the sky with Ron there when Yu Je-ha came over and spoke to me.
“Are you going to go?”
I guess there was a lot of tea.
Yoo Je-ha asked from a distance while I was sitting.
“That… that’s the offer I made before.”
“Offer?”
“That’s the offer that told me to come to the Western Continent.”
“Why is that?”
Yoo Je-ha hesitated for a moment and then asked carefully.
“Is it still valid?”
I ended up laughing.
“It’s not valid. Why? Do you want to come?”
Yoo Jae-ha scratches his head.
“I wanted to go from the beginning, but you must know that now that you are the emperor.”
“what?”
“Those in positions of responsibility must be careful.”
There was sincerity in Yoo Jae-ha’s words.
so.
“How do I do it?”
“… … I need time to persuade.”
Persuasion… … .
“how much?”
“The number of people living in Magung is 140,000. Even though I am the lord of the castle, these people were born and raised here. If I were to just tell them to leave, wouldn’t that be extremely irresponsible?”
“That’s not wrong.”
“I want to let those who want to stay stay. To be honest, as you may have noticed, this place called the Magung is not in a good geographical position.”
I’ve only been here for a day, but it’s a fact I know enough to know if I really want to know: the place where the palace is located is a mountain.

However, the people of Magung raise cattle, farm, raise sheep, and raise pigs. They mainly do field farming, but is it easy to farm in the mountains?
At the entrance to this palace, there was a huge rice paddy field. The people of the palace went down there and farmed. They went down to the bottom of the mountain to farm and then came up to the mountain to sleep. Those who raised livestock were less likely to do so, but since most people farmed, it was not a place where people could live for long. However.
“They say the name Magung has been around for hundreds of years.”
“That’s right. 300 years ago, the greatest man in the world and my ancestor, Yuma-sama, fought a war with the martial arts world and made this place his fortress. That was the beginning of the Demon Palace, but the war with the martial arts world… … is far from me.”
Yoo Jae-ha lets out a deep sigh.
“Actually, I’m saying this now, but I’ve been thinking about moving for a long time. I’ve thought about merging with the Ice Palace many times.”
“Oh, you said that you and Yuseolha were siblings?”
“Not just brother and sister, but half-siblings.”
I nodded roughly. My purpose is not to investigate the household, and I just need to know that they are siblings.
“How much time will it take?”
“… … A, a week?”
He added this, nodding his head.
“You take care of the immigration preparations yourself. We’ll be going by boat.”
I just stood up from my seat.
Then Yoo Je-ha says as if he had forgotten.
“I was looking into the Cheonmasingyo in case it could be of help, and I found some pretty good information. If it’s okay with you, I’d like to share it with you. Would that be okay?”
Our Sura Doje Yoo Je-ha seems to be quite shy.
You speak so cautiously, but I guess I should take it as gratitude. Anyway.
“What is it?”
“First of all, there are three entrances to the Cheonmasingyo.”
“Three?”
“The main gate, the back gate, and the east gate.”
I just listened in silence.
“It is said that at least 500 top-notch experts guard each of the three gates, and they rotate every eight hours.”
“Minimum climax?”
“That’s right. Among them, there are some masters of the art of firefighting, but surprisingly, they are only ‘guarding.’ They are truly a group shrouded in mystery.”
He gestured for me to continue, because I was starting to get a little interested.
“Of course, there are those in charge of the security guards. Those in charge are unknown masters of the realm of the present, and sometimes even masters who reach the level of the Life and Death Mirror and the Shinwha Mirror are seen… … .”
“that.”
In the end, Yoo Jae-ha was cut off.
The more I listen, the more suspicious I become.
“Where did you get that information? Did you go there yourself?”

Yoo Jae-ha shook his head. Then he answered like this.
“I heard it from the opening.”
“Openness in dealing with that information?”

“That’s right. The Open Unmanned and Open Beggars are spread all over the continent. The only place they can’t enter is the Heavenly Demon Church. That’s why they’ve made quite a few sacrifices to get information about that place.”
“okay?”
“I should say they are very bloodshot. This is information they have been finding out for the past several decades. It was classified as special.”
Ron, who was standing next to me, asked.
“You managed to get that.”
“… … Even though I look like this, I actually have quite a bit of wealth. And since I’m a well-known warrior, he readily agreed to trade with me in the open.”
I ended up laughing. Okay, for now.
“Keep going.”
“… … This is the end.”
I laughed in vain. I thought there was some great information. It wasn’t that.
But you should still say it out of courtesy.
“thanks.”
“… … This much, it’s nothing special.”
I stretched slowly. I was going to go straight to Cheonmasan, but something came up before that.
I told Yoo Je-ha.
“I would like to see the unmanned open space that gave me that information.”
“……him?”
Yoo Je-ha was still in the palace. He didn’t go out or anything, but the fact that he was able to obtain such information means that the unmanned person of the opening is here in the palace.
And I didn’t say anything, but the people who spread my nickname as Amazon are the ones who are open.
This is something that needs to be emphasized over and over again, and it needs to be made clear even now.
I plan to meet Cheonma. I plan to go to Cheonma Shingyo.
The purpose is curiosity about Asura, the god they worship, and the high probability that they know the whereabouts of Ragnarok.
Let me emphasize once more that the purpose is ‘conversation’.
But these guys called Gaebong and the guys called Cheonwicheon behind them, with a 99% chance, are trying to pick a fight between me and Cheonma.
My purpose is to control me, to use me as a pawn to manipulate others.
If this were the Western Continent, I would have killed him immediately, but as I said before, there are priorities.
I have told you and promised you something, so I will warn you just once, just once.
No matter how much I go out, I’m the kind of person who still has my own thoughts.
My heart is wider than the Black Sea.
By the way, as a side note, usually those who receive my warnings become my enemies.
“What are you doing? Get out of the way.”

The opening exerts influence throughout the Eastern Continent.
It wasn’t because there were so many strong people or anything like that.
The opening is a huge amount of material.

Since more than 90% of the beggars on the continent belong to the Open Party, the influence of the Open Party is enormous.
In contrast to Haomen, who run most of the entertainment districts, including Changguan, the important thing is that their intelligence gathering capabilities are the best on the continent.
Of course, because there were so many beggars, Gaepo established branches in ‘every’ city on the continent.
The same was true for the archery club. The head of the open archery club, Chui Geul Gae, was drinking alcohol in broad daylight.
A man approaches him like that.
“Look here.”
The drunkard who had been drinking from the bottle turned around in that same posture. The man, who was of considerable size and had a rather large sword on his back, was, if his eyes were not deceived, the ruler of this palace, the Asura Emperor.
Why are you here again?
“Why are you here again?”
The thought just blurted out, but Yuje smiled as if it was familiar.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I really didn’t know you’d come, so my thoughts escaped me without me knowing.”
He looked at the drunkard who was laughing and joking with a smile. As I said before, he was familiar with it. So he liked it.
Oh, why did you come again? I answered nonchalantly.
“I came because there is someone who wants to meet you.”
“Me? Who?”
Yoo Jae-ha pointed behind him with his chin.
There he was. A very handsome man with a longsword that seemed taller than he was, strapped to his waist.
Do you know who it is? I know. I know it too well. But I pretended not to know.
“Who are you that asked to see me?”
The handsome man smiled.
“It’s a bit much to ask who someone is after naming them.”
“Named it? Well, I don’t know.”
The man’s smile deepened. He walked. He walked slowly. Knock, knock. The sword scraped the floor.
Even when he came right up to him, the drunkard did not let go of the flask he was holding in his hand, that is, the flask containing alcohol.
That was the intention. I don’t have time to talk to you, so get out. I don’t know anything.
The drunkard, who thought that the meaning had been sufficiently conveyed, tried to drink from the bottle. The moment he lifted the bottle.
Crack-!
My head snaps back. Pain shoots up my cheek. Then my brows furrow.
“Branch Manager-!”
The beggars around him stood up with their weapons drawn. The drunkard raised his head.
“… … What did you do just now?”
“What did you do? I hit you.”
“… … Are you crazy?”
The man laughs. He seems to not understand the situation.
It was the thought of a drunkard.

Touching openness? What kind of crazy person would touch openness?
There is no one on this continent who has the guts to turn all of those beggars, who number in the millions, into enemies. Not only the Yuje who are in the position of the kings, but even the lords do not touch the opening.
I thought so.
The man, Jack Milos, asked.
“Isn’t it heavenly?”
“… … What does that mean?”
Jack Milos, the hand of the Emperor of the West has reached out once more.
Crack-!!
The drunkard falls sideways. He jumps up from his seat, supporting himself with his arms. His expression is distorted as it could be. His cheeks are red and his fists are clenched.
“Amazon, Jack Milos.”
“Uh. Tell me.”
“Are you thinking of turning openness into an enemy?”
The Emperor’s mouth draws a curve. Then, his mouth opens slightly.
Ah… … Ahahahahaha.
The emperor laughed. He burst into laughter as if he was genuinely laughing.
A drunkard speaks to such an emperor.
“If you touch my body one more time, I will open up and spit out your face immediately… … .”
Crack-!
Pitter-patter, blood spurts out. Four teeth fly out of the drunkard’s mouth.
It didn’t stop there. The emperor’s hand reached out and grabbed the drunkard’s hair.
“Tell me the rest.”
“Ugh… … You are truly open and… … .”
The Emperor’s other fist cracked and broke the drunkard’s nose.
“Say that again.”
“Crazy… … crazy… … .”
The Emperor’s fist extends towards the Chugyeogae’s eye. Of course, it doesn’t stop. With a bang, the Chugyeogae’s left eye bursts.
“Keu… … Keuaaaah-!!”
