Episode 304 Looking at the bonfire
A beast that made me sleep came to me and dragged me somewhere.
It wasn’t a pleasant feeling to be sinking into a place that wasn’t sure if it was a swamp or water, but I didn’t bother opening my eyes because there seemed to be a campfire nearby.
Even though I was sleeping, I wasn’t getting enough sleep.
Maybe it was because I couldn’t sleep deeply and had dreams of various things. The thought of killing the first Sado man and the thought of taking revenge on Yoran’s behalf intersected.
When the boundary between reality and sleep became blurred, in my dream I was watching a man running furiously somewhere.
It was a pity.
Because I already know that even if I run like that, I won’t get what I want.
Is it because it’s a dream?
Somehow I could sympathize with the running man’s thoughts, and at one point, I even ran on his behalf as if I were a messenger. Maybe it was because I was nervous, but my breathing was slower than usual and my body felt like it was floating.
But obviously not me.
Because dreams are inherently a mess.
Even as he was running, the man pondered whether it would be better to return to the Apostle League and fight the Demon Cult. However, she could not disobey her orders, so when she arrived at the Murim Alliance, her ugly man grabbed a passerby and asked for help, but she was immediately locked in prison.
Because he was the messenger of the Apostolic Alliance.
How could it be this unfair and absurd?
The man shouted that there was no law to imprison a messenger, and was surrounded by members and beaten. While the ugly man was banging on the bars of his prison cell with her hands, she asked the young man who approached him, “Where are these laws?”
The young man said this while glaring at the ugly man.
“We don’t have the power to even help the evildoers. “You have no shame.”
Is it because I’m obsessed with being called a villain?
Before I knew it, I was the messenger trapped in the cage.
I cursed at the Murim League bastards in prison. The guards who couldn’t stand it left one by one, and a man with a somewhat familiar face came to me for a visit.
I had quite a conversation with this man.
Some days, there were wrinkles on his face, and other days, he was covered in bandages, as if he had been injured during a mission. Some days, he seemed so tired and depressed that he didn’t say anything even when I visited him.
One day, a man asked me this question.
“Why did you cause so many accidents?”
I answered after headbutting the iron bars.
“It’s none of your business.”
“The Murim League is not a perfect organization.”
“Know.”
“Even if no one else does, you must understand me.”
“why me?”
“Because I too am a person who knows the sorrow of losing a colleague or subordinate. If only Sega’s masters had helped, if there had been an organization that supported the Murim Alliance, if just one more king who was aiming for the leader position had come. I would have saved both my subordinates and my leader. “I also complained and cursed countless times.”
“That’s because you’re too pretentious. “I should have shredded it.”
“So I’m being hated now? “Anyway, it looks like I won’t be able to come see you anymore.”
“why?”
The once young man looked at me with a tired and weary face.
“I became the leader.”
“Oh yeah? That’s amazing. Suffer. congratulations. “You are the Murim lord, you have achieved success.”
Lim So-baek, who became the leader, suddenly looked at his surroundings, took out a key from his pocket, and opened the iron cage.
I looked at the open door in surprise.
“what? “Why are you releasing me?”
“It’s the leader’s heart. good.”
“Where?”
Lim Sobaek chuckled.
“I don’t know. “Where are you going?”
I glared at Lin Xiaobaek and said.
“Is it okay to do this?”
“If a conflict arises with the Demonic Cult, I will contact you. It is up to you whether you want to help or not.”
“I get it.”
“Hey, Moonju.”
“why?”
“Why do you keep speaking informally? “He’s too young.”
“Are you my boss?”
Lim So-baek laughed and grabbed my shoulder and pulled me out of the cage. As soon as I got out of the prison, I frowned and then opened my eyes to reality.
I felt like I was released from prison. I felt like I was trapped in a prison cell in broad daylight, but before I knew it, I could see the night sky.
I blinked my eyes a few times and when I sat up, I saw a bonfire.
It wouldn’t have been surprising if there was just a bonfire, but the sword demon, demon demon, and color demon were sitting there, and Lin Xiaobaek was also sitting next to them.
“… … .”
I didn’t feel like I had woken up because as soon as I opened my eyes I was looking at the person I had seen in my dream.
I said, staring at the campfire in a half-asleep state.
“What is this. Is it a dream? “Why is the leader here?”
The devil answered.
“Stop talking in your sleep and get some sleep.”
“Are you caught?”
“What did you get caught? “You crazy guy, it’s growing bigger.”
Well, he is not one of the four major evildoers who can be caught easily. Since I couldn’t see Maengwon around, I was puzzled as to how Lim Sobaek could be found on Baeksa Island.
I got up and looked at the lakeside.
Five or six more rafts were added under the moonlight. I lost sleep while looking at the raft.

The demon roughly explained the situation.
“… … “He couldn’t find a boat, so he came on a raft.”
“That’s a bit of an amazing story, isn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
Since Sado First Person was controlling the boat, it would have been difficult to find a small boat. In the end, the special forces built a raft and arrived at Baeksa Island.
Some of the members were inspecting the Sadomaeng’s ship, and it looked like they were about to leave. It looked like they would probably go to land, bring boatmen, and then move the boat.
Now Lim So-baek would have to invest the largest number of people into the club branch he would create in the future. For one reason or another, I thought that being a leader would not be easy.
Suddenly, I made eye contact with Lim Sobaek, but Lim Sobaek didn’t say anything. He seemed to have already had enough conversations with the four great villains at the campfire.
It seems that Lim So-baek was a leader who had the power to save even evil people like us.
By the way, I don’t know what we were talking about, but when I got up, the conversation stopped.
“What was the conversation about? “Did I faint?”
In my opinion, Kang Ho-in should not sleep like this. Now that I think about it, the reason I was falling asleep was also because of my vigilance. This is because I have never slept comfortably.
The demon said.
“There wasn’t much conversation. “We were just watching the campfire.”
“Is that so?”
Lim So-baek said.
“I heard that the First Apostle is the messenger of the old Apostolic Alliance.”
Only then did I make some sense of the silence. It seems that the Four Great Villains reported what happened on Baeksa Island and Lim So-baek listened without saying anything. It seems that Lim So-baek appeared in my dream because of his voice.
Lim Sobaek tilted his head.
“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t remember such a request. I think it was about when the leader of the squadron was around. Or when I went on a mission outside.”
The color demon asked.
“If you were the leader, would you have helped me?”
Lim Sobaek shook his head.
“You can’t do that. The Military Council is against it, I am against it, and if I send someone, the Demon Cult and the Sado Alliance may join forces and the Murim Alliance may be surrounded, so there is absolutely no reason to respond. The messenger survived for so long thanks to a vain delusion. “You stay in the East Lake and interfere with the Murim Alliance at every turn.”
We just nodded.
Lim Sobaek continued.
“You must have a lot of wealth. I haven’t done anything since I came here, so I’ll get my property back. “It will be a fortune accumulated by stealing from the people of Dongho, so the first thing I will do is to return a lot to the people of Dongho, find and support the people who have been harmed by the apostle, and then deliver all the remaining money to Munju.”
I was trying to speak informally to the leader like in a dream, but now I realized that it was not a dream.
“If I receive support from the Murim Alliance, I will share it with Teacher Yukhap, Senior Geomma, and Mongrang.”
“Still, it will probably be quite a bit of money. Is there something you each want to do?”
When Lim Sobaek looked at the Sword Demon, the Sword Demon shook his head.
This time, Lin Xiaobai looked at the color demon and spoke.
“You’re not going to drink with that money, are you?”
“sure. Lord Maeng. “At this point, I will become independent from my family.”
“Have you done it yet?”
“yes.”
“If a man is over 20, he should become independent. “Well thought out.”
Lim So-baek looked at the ghost.
“Yukhap, who are you?”
As the demon was about to say something, the members of the ship started to depart and shouted.
“… … Lord Maeng, I’ll be back!”
“I’ll bring you some food when you come.”
Lim Sobaek turned his head and answered towards his members.
“Please come back.”
I also waved to my members. I just waved my hand without thinking, but the special forces agent responded by waving at me.
“Lord Moon, I’ll be back.”
I burst out laughing and nodded.
“Please come back.”
The Four Great Villains and Lim So-baek also laughed several times, probably because they were embarrassed. Lim So-baek said with a smile.
“How much did we talk about? Ah, Yukhap.”
The demon answered.
“I have no idea what to do right now. “I just think that I have to continue to become stronger.”
“After you become stronger?”
The demon hesitated to answer this simple question. But we didn’t say anything until the demon responded. Finally, the demon opened her mouth.
“If the day comes when my skills improve enough, I will try Yukhapmun again… … .”
Im So-baek nodded.
“I’ll make it again. “I will support you.”
Hearing that he would provide support, the demon looked at Lim Sobaek with a puzzled expression.
“What kind of support are you talking about?”
“Is there anything special? “Sometimes I send a messenger to ask how they are doing.”
“ah.”
Lim So-baek looked at the color demon.
“you?”
“yes?”
“Do you have any plans other than drinking and meeting women?”
The devil answered.
“I just want to have a bigger house. “Once the money is saved.”
“Why a spacious house? “I know Monga is also a wealthy family.”
The devil answered.
“I was wealthy, but my space was just one room. “It was more comfortable outside.”
“You will have enough money to build a house like that, so don’t waste it on drinking, singing and dancing.”
“yes.”
Lim Sobaek looked at me.
“Moonju, I have so many places to spend money, so I’m not worried.”
Lim So-baek, who had asked one by one what he was going to do with the money, looked at Geomma one last time.
“What about you?”
The Sword Demon made eye contact with Lin Xiaobaek and asked back.
“what?”
“I wonder what you will do when you get a lot of money.”
The Sword Demon was contemplating an answer with a confused expression and then answered like a person who was forcing himself to speak.
“Well, I guess I should get some elixir and take it.”
After hearing the answer, Lim Sobaek sighed.
“They seem like men without a clear goal in life.”
I had a clear goal, but I couldn’t figure out why Lord Lim was talking like this. Something suddenly occurred to me, so I asked Maengju.
“But senior Maengju, why didn’t you get married?”
Lim Sobaek looked at me and answered in a slightly more relaxed tone than before.
“Would you do it if you were me?”
I shook my head.
Lim So-baek said.
“The father of the current religious leader was killed by the previous leader, who was like my master. In the aftermath, the leader of the squadron was not able to survive the expulsion. She’s a proud man, so she’ll try to settle the score somehow. He is already feared by all Kang Ho-in, but he will not live in seclusion. It’s a wonder I’ve endured it until now. “He must have a cautious personality.”
“What does that have to do with why you didn’t get married?”
Lin Xiaobaek looked at the sword demon.
“… … “I heard that they killed almost everyone during the struggle for succession.”
The Sword Demon nodded.
“It did. “He was a ruthless man and he was not the archduke who had been designated as the successor, so it could not have been helped.”
Im So-baek nodded.
“In my opinion, Baekdo must either raise disciples or create children. This is my personal opinion. “When the time comes when you don’t have to sleep on an island like this, each of you will find a partner and get married.”
The Sword Demon responded with an absurd expression.
“Is this an order?”
Lim Sobaek was obviously older, but Geomma was also a person who found it awkward to use polite language.
Lim Sobaek shook his head.
“You’re saying this to me too.”
The demon asked the leader in a somewhat cautious tone.
“Isn’t it too late?”
Im So-baek nodded.
“That’s right. If I had done it earlier, I would have had a son like you. “I don’t know what sin I committed in my past life to suffer like this.”
“Is the position of leader that difficult? “I’m asking because I don’t know.”
Lim So-baek looked at the color demon.
“Do you want to do it? “I’ll pass it up and retire.”
The demon responded with a surprised expression.
“Me? There will be a revolt.”
“I know. “Yukhap, what about you?”
The demon answered.
“It won’t be a dish.”
Im So-baek nodded.
“That’s true. Sword Demon, what about you?”
The Sword Demon shook his head as if the question itself seemed absurd. Lim So-baek looked at me with a smile.
“Our Lord Hao Wen, are you interested in the position of leader?”
This is the first time in my life I have been asked such an absurd question.
“Sir, there is no place in the world that is so boring.”
“why? “What kind of point?”
“Can you hit your subordinates?”
“I can’t do that because of the leader’s reputation. I hit him a little during Daeju. I also hit my senior a lot. “I purposely challenged you under the pretext of non-village.”
I pointed to the color horse.
“What do you do when a guy like this does something wrong?”
Lim So-baek looked at the color demon.
“I should drag you by your hair and hit you.”
Only then did we burst out laughing at the same time. It seemed that Im So-baek had been joking the whole time, and he looked around Baek Sa-do while laughing with us.
“I should have killed the apostle, but you went through a lot of trouble.”
The devil answered.
“you’re welcome.”
Lim So-baek told us.
“Strangely enough, I feel like I’m getting a lot of help from you guys. I’m saying this because I don’t have any subordinates, but even if you cross the line a little, I will use my authority as leader to crush you. Still, there are many strong players in the group, so be careful.”
I joked a lot and finally brought up the embarrassing story.
I also wished Lim Sobaek good luck.
“I hope you can continue to fight until your hair turns gray and then retire without any problems. “Go get married too.”
Whenever we stopped talking, we looked at the campfire. As I watched the burning flames, I thought about our future. I thought I would never be able to meet a normal beauty, so I asked Maengju for anything I could think of.
“senior.”
“huh?”
“If we all survive together, please introduce your wife and children later.”
Lim Sobaek asked.
“Are you serious?”
When I nodded, Lim So-baek also nodded several times and then said.
“I understand. “I don’t think I can be an ordinary wife.”
I didn’t really ask what average means, but I think it doesn’t seem like an average wife. In fact, if it was something that the Murim leader couldn’t accomplish, she thought it would be better to just live alone like she did in her past life.
A plague… … .
