Episode 390 We didn’t laugh at each other.
As I thought about the blood cult leader leaving in a hurry, I felt a little strange. King Tap, the new Usa, had already died, and Yongmyeong also left for Hyeolya Palace.
If I keep in mind that things in the world don’t always go as I want, I have a feeling that something bad will happen.
Of course, there is some basis for this premonition.
Even though the old Usa killed the believers and escaped, the believers, including the Black Forest Scouts, were completely unmoved.
The meaning of static varies from time to time.
The silence that fell around Jaha Gaekjan this time was a mixture of tension and calm, but if I had to be specific, the proportion of tension seemed to be much higher.
It’s kind of like the entire army is on standby.
As I was analyzing this silence in my own way, I realized that the religious leader was coming soon. It occurred to me that the person named Jwasa above was not a political figure that could be created alone.
He returned to the guest house with his eldest brother and spoke to Yunnan Qilsal.
“Set up the table and prepare drinks and water. There is no need for snacks. No dust. “First, organize everything you see.”
As soon as Yunnan Seven Years heard my words, he moved quietly. They were also perceptive and must have noticed that my mood had changed a little.
The eldest brother went to the bench, put aside the wooden sword on top, and then wiped the blade of the light sword with a cloth.
I looked up at the fluttering flag.
“… … .”
Did I make a mistake planting the flag?
Considering that a considerable amount of time had passed and the cult leader had not appeared in person, I began to suspect that some forces had clashed with the cultists.
How could a person who moved all the way to Ilyanghyeon go somewhere else?
After some time has passed.
I felt like a carriage was approaching, so I went outside and saw that the first carriage I had ever seen near the Black Forest Scouts had arrived.
Is it a newly elected priest or a religious leader?
The carriage was painted black, even the wheels, and the carriage was led by a black horse, and even the saddle was black.
Anyway, it was all black.
When the man who came out from there turned his back and looked around at the disciples, all the disciples who followed his gaze knelt down.
There was no particular slogan.
Next, an additional black warhorse arrived, and the men in black jumped down and grabbed the reins. It was unclear whether he was gagged or trained, but he had a knack for shutting up even military horses.
The newly appeared men in black had slightly different attire from the Black Forest scouts who had arrived earlier, so they looked like a bodyguard or bodyguard. Even from a distance, I could see that the SS was much larger than the average prisoner.
The SS moved comfortably without kneeling like other believers, and then took their places slightly scattered around the area.
The man who had appeared from the carriage then turned and walked towards Jaha’s guesthouse.
It was quite far away… … .
The leader was walking here alone.
As soon as I suddenly saw the leader, I let out a small sigh. I kept having strange thoughts.
Wouldn’t it be better to rush this way with troops?
Wouldn’t it be better to give the order to charge the entire army and hit Jaha Gaekjan?
Or, wouldn’t it be better to run at him in a very angry state?
Everything I had hoped for went wrong.
The leader walked alone without any subordinates accompanying him. I was narrowing the distance to the atmosphere and appearance I hated the most.
This is why the leader is not a man who acts according to his will.
Because if you are that confident, I have no way of dealing with it.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the leader’s face… … .
It wasn’t welcoming at all.
As I live, I don’t often get the chance to see the faces of like-minded people and drink alcohol with them, so I began to doubt whether I really needed to see a man like that.
The leader approached me like darkness from where the followers were waiting.
I learned that darkness does not hit me quickly like a wave, but rather arrives slowly and on foot.
There is no way to avoid this darkness.
When I sighed a second time at the entrance to the guesthouse, the religious leader approached me and spoke in a normal tone.
“Munju.”
I had no choice but to put my hand inside.
“You’ve come a long way. “Let’s go in.”
Anyway, since I was a guest, I was guided to my guest room.
I had no choice but to show my back to the religious leader.
Are you turning your back on the religious leader? This is why the customer is king. Even though he knew that this was a man who had no reason to surprise his back, he felt quite a chill down his spine.
The eldest brother, who was sitting on the bench, also greeted the religious leader.
“You came.”
The Yunnan seven-year-olds were scattered here and there with mesmerized expressions on their faces, but as soon as they saw the leader, they fell to their knees.
“… … “I see you, the leader.”
I reached the table and turned around.
The eldest brother put down the cloth he was cleaning the Light Sword with and then sheathed the blade. The leader looked around and sat down in the seat he had hastily prepared.
Only then did Yunnan Sevens quietly stand up, bring a water kettle and some alcohol, put them down on the table, and then left.
The eldest brother was sitting on the bench with his arms crossed and didn’t seem to have any intention of coming to the table.
In the end, I sat across from the religious leader.
In the meantime, the religious leader poured himself some water and drank it.
Is it possible to kill all poisons?
The head of the school swallowed the water next to his bed and looked at his eldest brother.
“… … “What was it like when you left school?”
The eldest brother answered.

“It’s normal. My daily life is normal, I eat, sleep. Even when you don’t have any thoughts, you’re normal.”
The leader, who seemed not to care about the tone of voice, nodded and asked something else.
“How did Usa become so crazy?”
“I don’t know exactly. People change for more than just one reason. There are also things accumulated in you. The martial arts might have been blocked. The reason is that he lost a lot of his subordinates to Munju. Have you been looking for a way to become stronger? Anyway, it seems difficult to live with sanity.”
The religious leader asked again.
“If you had to choose one thing among them, what would it be?”
The eldest brother shook his head.
“There is no one thing. If I had to pick two, it would be because of the head of the cult and the head of the clan. Two people.”
I poured myself a drink while the leader was looking at me.
I have never been so uncomfortable with a man’s gaze. However, if it weren’t for an opportunity like this, I didn’t think I would be able to stare at the man who was the best in the world for long, so I tried my best to avoid my gaze.
The leader said.
“Munju.”
“Please speak.”
“Your student seems smart. “Where did you meet?”
“It’s an auction house called Heukhyang. Even children like Yoran are traded there, so I killed them all and brought them here.”
“Did you make him your disciple because you knew he was smart?”
I shook my head.
“Whether you are smart or stupid, you will become my disciple. Yoran said he wanted to learn martial arts first. “Did you like it?”
The cult leader nodded.
“I like it.”
“There are already many masters, so don’t be greedy.”
“I have no intention of teaching.”
“I’m glad. “I can’t lose my disciple to a disciple.”
“Please return the meat.”
“The reason is?”
“It is not a sword suitable for you. It doesn’t match your martial arts skills, your personality, or the purpose for which the sword was created. “You can’t live in the first place.”
I didn’t really have anything to say.
“… … .”
I took the knife out of my waist and placed it on the table. If Yoran brings up the knife after the story, I can’t help it.
The leader grabbed hold of the blade, pulled it out halfway, and looked at the blade.
“… … .”
Without saying a word, the leader put his sword back and looked at the sword demon.
“If you want to become invincible like your master wants, take the Sword of Light. If not, return it. If what you want is to be a swordsman, the Sword of Light won’t help you. Are you saying that you haven’t finished your worries yet?”
I looked at my eldest brother along with the leader.
Since what the religious leader said was not wrong, I had nothing I could say to help. The choice was up to his eldest brother, but there seemed to be no way out.
The sect leader asked the sword demon.
“… … “What is the bond status?”
The eldest brother answered.
“It’s not perfect.”
“Then, even if you return it, there will be no danger to your life.”
The eldest brother looked at the leader and declined in a calm tone.
“Kill it and take it.”
“The reason is?”
“If I keep this with me, it will make you feel a little more uncomfortable. “When I die, I will tell people around me to return it to the school.”
The religious leader opened his mouth.
“Let’s do that. “Stomach left.”
From a distance away, Master Wei answered.
“Yes, leader.”
“Take it.”
After taking three or four breaths, the above monk appeared at the entrance to Jaha’s guesthouse. He came in without saying a word, took care of his life, and then turned around. I could barely hear his footsteps when he came in and even when he walked away.
The leader said.
“How long will it take Moon-joo to get a new weapon?”
“I don’t know. Because I’m not obsessed with famous swords. “I need to get it quickly and if I don’t have it, I should at least use a long sword with teeth.”
The cult leader nodded.
“Do it that way.”
The leader was a man who clearly gave and received, so it sounded like this was the price of giving back.
I looked at the alcohol and asked the religious leader.
“Would you like a drink?”
The leader held out the cup from which he drank water. After pouring a drink for the head of the cult for the first time, I looked at his eldest brother.
“Eldest brother.”
The eldest brother came over and grabbed the empty glass on the table. I poured a drink for my eldest brother and then filled my own glass.
We drank without saying anything, but this was also a promise to keep our promises to each other.
The leader, who put down his drink, spoke first.
“Choose a place.”
It sounded like a question asking where you want to die. She had no intention of dying, but she did think about the location.
Where should I fight the final battle so that I won’t have any regrets?
The eldest brother, who made eye contact with me, said to me.
“You decide.”
After thinking deeply, I spoke to the religious leader.
“Okay then, let’s meet at the volcano.”
“What is the date and time?”
“Come when you want to kill. “I will go first and practice.”
The leader looked at his eldest brother.
“What about you?”
“Do you have anywhere to go? I’ll see you then.”
The leader spoke as if accepting the offer.
“In the volcano.”
Unexpectedly, the leader held out his drink again. While I was refilling the drink like Jeomsoy, the leader said.
“Moonju, that wasn’t a good strategy.”
“Why is that so?”
The leader pointed at the waving flag.
“… … The location of the headquarters is not bad, but how can you fight a war without messengers and scouts? Because of the flag, he knew that reinforcements were coming from various places, and after receiving reports from scouts, he sent troops in advance to deal with each corner of the road. “It’s been a while since I rode around in a carriage and saw the world.”
“hmm.”
The cult leader looked at me.
“I have read old books and a few books on war, but there is no record of a general who developed an emotional strategy like you. King Gungeom, who was coming to support, fought once with Jwasa Wi, and Emperor Namgung was unlucky enough to meet me. “He was a quick-thinking man, so he didn’t want to engage in an all-out war, but rather wanted me to deal with him one-on-one.”
“What happened?”
“My right arm was cut off, so I can no longer use the nickname Geomje. They promised 100 years of bondage on the condition that they not be massacred. He got caught up in your strategies and was defeated by each of them. Of course, we did not win on all fronts. King Gwon’s side had fewer people, but the damage on our side was greater than on other sides. But they were short on numbers, so in the end, they inhaled the poisonous smoke and ran away somewhere.”
I had nothing to say.
The leader said.
“There is a lot of information that has not yet been reported, but what happened on other roads is likely to be similar.”
In other words, I was attacked individually because of the flag I displayed. This means that Jaha Gaekjan was used as the site of the decisive battle, and the leader isolated Jaha Gaekjan as much as possible and attacked the surrounding area before appearing.
A strange thought occurred to me when I saw this religious leader.
Would a soldier like Sima Yi have this kind of aura?
In general, the leader seemed like a lonely person with no one to compete with in terms of force or strategy. In short, he is a man born in the wrong era. Or maybe he was born in the wrong place and is doing this… … .
In fact, I was not defeated, but those who tried to help me were severely beaten or had already been defeated by the religious leader.
I just honestly admitted defeat.
“You saw it well. I suffered because I was stupid and emotional. It seems like he understood the world as a guesthouse. It’s a shame. “Have you received any further reports?”
The leader said.
“Sega is generally stagnant, rotten water, so it is easy to deal with. When the head of a household or a large number of troops move, if you only send a few soldiers to the main house to stir things up, they usually decide to retreat due to their wealth. The Seomun family also made a comeback like that. Property and a home are more important than helping others. “It is the limit of whiteness.”
“What about Lim Maengju?”
I chatted with the leader at the table as if we were playing baduk without a stone.
“I heard that Lim So-baek was a man who knew how to use scouts and messengers, so he was busy. The subordinates also could not properly determine Lim So-baek’s location, but in the end, they clashed with the first guy’s troops near the Murim Alliance, causing many casualties on both sides. Lim So-baek would have had no choice but to return. “That’s because he is a man whose priority is to save people rather than kill them.”
The first son sounded like he meant the first son of the religious leader, the Archduke. So, it seems that the Archduke hindered the Murim Alliance’s advance or caused a stalemate by engaging in a fight.
The leader’s words continued.
“Not everything goes according to plan, for you or me.”
“That’s true.”
“The price of the life of the believer you killed did not end with you dying alone, so several powerful people paid for it. It’s probably somewhat similar now. Because of your inclination to begin with, you made things happen that would have ended if you had challenged me in the first place. “Are you that scared?”
I shook my head.
“I was more frustrated than scared.”
“I hope that when viewed from a volcano, it is at least similar to other Samjaes. Is it possible?”
“You don’t even know that.”
“It would be in vain for me to go all the way to the volcano and watch you commit suicide. “Sword Demon, isn’t it?”
The eldest brother answered while looking down at the leader.
“Surely Moonju would choose suicide? Don’t be too proud, you might disappear along with the volcano.”
The cult leader nodded.
“We will limit the number of people who can climb the volcano. Cheonak, Shingae, Munju, Geomma, and Baekui Seosaeng. Limit it to around ten people at most. “But I don’t want to see Lim Sobaek.”
“Why do you hate Lord Lim so much?”
The leader looked at me with a pitiful expression.
“What kind of religious leader likes a leader?”
I never thought I’d be able to stop laughing while talking to the religious leader, but now I am. Because the atmosphere was serious, I didn’t laugh. She pushed her tongue out a bit on the cheek.
In the midst of all this, I can’t believe I’m trying to laugh… … .
I know I’m crazy, but this is way out of line.
“Lim Maengju, then let’s just move on. Let’s leave the number of people at that. The old beggar may not come because he is old. He is at retirement age. “I wonder if he’s eating properly.”
I tried teasing him a little, but the leader didn’t laugh.
