The World’s Greatest Man is Dead Episode 083
[Uh… … Uh. Okay.]
Dokjon’s reaction seems slightly bewildered.
[… … What should I do with that guy?]
Yoo Cheon-gil shook his head with a deep sigh.
Watching their reactions, this time I had to be the one who was dumbfounded.
‘… … No, it’s not something else, it’s the Great Transformation. Then should I refuse?’
Speaking of Daehwandan, it was the highest level of Yeongdan among the Yeongdans in the current Central Plains.
It’s something that money can never buy, and I only saw it once in a while at places like the martial arts festival held by the Murim Alliance.
If you want to sell this… … .
‘I can save enough money to live off of for the rest of my life.’
I could live without worrying about money until I died.
of course.
‘… … If my father doesn’t find out.’
I had to endure it because I didn’t know what these people would do if I got caught in the act.
No, what if you eat it instead of selling it for money?
‘… … It’ll be amazing.’
It’s not for nothing that the unmanned people sing the song of Daehwandan Daehwandan.
It was a shame to put it in this filthy body, but whether I sold it or ate it, it was still a huge opportunity.
“Well, sir. I will listen carefully, so could you please tell me slowly what I should do for you?”
[… … Uh… … Uh… … .]
Dokjon looks at Yoo Cheon-gil with a strange expression on his face at my reaction.
[… … Is this how he is usually like this?]
[I’m a little embarrassed right now… … Don’t talk to me.]
Yoo Cheon-gil avoids eye contact as if he cannot raise his head.
At that sight, Dokjon smiled wryly.
[He said he would never accept a disciple even if he died, but after he died, he chose a guy who looked exactly like him as his successor.]
[Who is the successor?]
Yoo Cheon-gil frowns, seeming annoyed.
[I have no choice, I really have no choice but to use it. Originally, it was a guy I wouldn’t even look at.]
“Sir, I’m listening. You know… … ?”
[How can you act like you know everything when you don’t even listen to what I say and have nothing to show for it?]
“You old man, you’re listening to me.”
[Oh my… … .]
As Yoo Cheon-gil continues to pour out his words, Dok-jon laughs at him.
Then he turned his gaze back to me, who was frowning.
[Hey.]
“Yes, respected elder.”
[That’s enough talking.]
“Oh, then is that so?”
[… … .]
Dokjon is slightly embarrassed by the sudden change in attitude. Why? I tried to do it because it seemed like that was what he wanted.
[… … Ah… … Anyway, can you grant me a favor?]
“I’ll listen to that first and think about it.”
If it’s a difficult request, I can’t grant it, no matter how hard it may be.
When I said it with that intention, Dokjon nodded and added.
[I know you’re going to be in the Vigo. My request is that you take one thing from there.]
“An object… … ?”
[okay.]
“What kind of thing is it?”
[It’s a sword.]
“knife?”
I frowned when I heard that.
A sword… … ?
“Are you asking me to come out with a sword in my hand?”
[right.]
“… … .”
After hearing the answer, he stroked his chin with his index finger.
‘A sword from the sky.’
It’s not a difficult condition to hear. If you can get the Daehwandan by doing that.
‘It’s definitely a good deal.’
The problem is.
“How can I get that out?”
The location is a unique feature.
Not only was there no way to know what was inside, there was no way to just take anything out.
How about a sword?
There is no way the King would allow this.
But.

[Don’t worry. There are ways.]
Dokjon answered my question with a calm expression.
[Child, all you have to do is pick it up and bring it out.]
“… … But if I do something that simple, you’ll give me a great reward?”
[okay.]
“… … .”
The Dokjon speaks as if it were true, but the more he speaks, the more my doubts deepen.
‘why?’
Why on earth?
If you’re going to give me a great reward just for bringing it to me, what kind of sword do I need to bring?
“Hmm… … .”
I’m worried.
Then I shifted my gaze and looked at Yucheon-gil.
The old man just looked at me with his chin resting on his hand and a blank expression on his face.
like.
-Just decide once.
As if he wanted to hear my decision.
‘… … Damn old man.’
What good would it do if I helped you out a little? You always do that shit every time something like this happens.
“Phew.”
He sighed and spoke to the Dokjon.
“… … Let’s give it a try.”
There was a lot to think about, but I made a decision.
This is funny.
‘… … It’ll work out somehow.’
Rather than thinking complicated thoughts, I thought that if something happened, that evil old man would take care of it.
It was a choice filled with the mindset of, “let it be.”
* * *
After hearing the answer, Dokjon disappeared.
All I could say was a simple thank you.
After that, Yoo Cheon-gil and I stayed together and talked.
While we were talking about this and that.
[You asked the girl to make a sword?]
He showed a reaction to the part where he met Dang Ye-ran rather than Dok-jon’s Bigo or Man-wol’s Suri.
“yes.”
[So, you said you would do it?]
“Yes. They said they would do it?”
When he said that he had even begged to be allowed to do it, Yoo Chun-gil’s expression turned sour.
What the heck? Why are you making such a shitty face?
[… … Anyway, it’s a dirty world.]
“… … What do you mean?”
[All those guys with fancy tops should have been replaced.]
“For someone who saved the world, that’s an incredibly brutal tone.”
It was really creepy.
Then Yoo Cheon-gil speaks bluntly.
[Then what are you going to do with the Mukcheolgeom?]
“If it’s silent… … . Ah.”
It was a fact I had briefly forgotten.
Before coming to Sacheon, Yucheon-gil had promised to give me a steel sword as compensation for a bet he made in my snack warehouse.
“Hey. That has nothing to do with this.”
I wonder when Dang Ye-ran will make a sword.
And there is no need to use everything that is made, right?
‘No matter what, it can’t be better than the iron sword.’
It’s a deadly iron sword.
A sword made of one of the few metals comparable to iron.
Even if Dang Ye-ran puts her heart and soul into her actions.
‘… … Materials are materials.’
If the materials are good, the sword will be good.
This was an immutable law.
[So, the conclusion is, I’ll eat it all?]
“Wouldn’t it be nice to get everything you can while you can?”
[Then your stomach will rip, you punk.]
“Your digestion is better than I thought.”
[… … Heh heh… … .]
Since he didn’t say a word, Yoo Cheon-gil burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.
[So you listened to that idiot to get everything?]
I didn’t think deeply about who the idiot was.
“Are you the only one speaking?”
After all, there was only one person who would react like that to Yoo Cheon-gil.
“No, I have to do it because they said they would give me a grand prize.”
[Do you know what’s going to happen?]
“There must be something. But I believe that if there is a difference, the old man will do something.”
[… … Ha, what a shameless wish.]
“If you really thought it was dangerous, wouldn’t you have stopped it?”
If you shouldn’t have gone or if it was dangerous, you would have been warned.
But what if I didn’t do that and just watched?
“Aren’t you telling me to try it?”
[Tsk tsk… … . This is an exaggeration. I was just watching because I was annoyed.]
“Oh, yes. I see.”
That must be true.
I didn’t say anything because it was annoying.
anyway.
“No matter what, I think it’s worth a try with just one Daehwandan.”
If only I could get the Grand Transformation.
It’s worth a try.
Let’s say it with that in mind.
[Why do you think there is one?]
“yes?”
Yoo Cheon-gil said it as if it wasn’t funny.
[I told you. There are many things to exploit in the Tang family. It can’t just be a sword.]
“… … .”
[But are you satisfied with just one Daehwandan? Tsk tsk. Are there really such small ambitions in the world?]
“……under.”
I had to laugh without realizing it.
“Didn’t you tell me earlier that I was being too greedy and my stomach would burst?”
[Didn’t you say it has good digestion? Why? Are you scared?]
“Hey. That can’t be.”
I smiled while looking into Yoo Cheon-gil’s blue eyes.
“I’m the type of person who doesn’t hesitate to take care of things.”
[That’s not a bad personality.]
“Hehehehe.”
[Hehehehe!]
Greedy laughter echoed through the room where only one lamp was lit.
I thought it might have been the best time since I met the old man.
* * *
Time passed and a few days passed.
The date that the Poison King had mentioned has arrived.
Time really flew by.
“… … Oh… … .”
Today, I went outside again, shaking off my fatigue.
It was even worse because I had been losing sleep for several days.
“I’m going to die.”
He frowned, rolling his stiff shoulders.
After practicing for a few days, my body felt a little more relaxed.
‘Ah, I should just do it moderately.’
I tried to do something for no reason and ended up like this.
This is why people shouldn’t show off.
‘… … I’m so excited because of the story about the Great Hwandan.’
Things seemed to be going well for me, so I crossed the line a bit.
Because of that, I felt a lot of muscle pain all over my body.
“Oh my.”
I forced myself to endure it and walked. When I got outside, there was already someone waiting outside the door.
I licked my lips lightly with my tongue as I looked at it.
I was a little nervous because I felt like the time had come.
The man in front spots me and says:
“My name is Moon Geuk-yeon, and I belong to Dokyeongdae.”
“This is Bang Sung-yeon.”
“I have come to see you at the command of the master. I have been entrusted with guiding Prince Bang.”
People who greet me with courtesy.
I nodded my head looking at them.
“Yes. Thank you.”
“Excuse me for a moment.”
The sight is obscured by words.
My vision was blocked by something like a blindfold.
I wasn’t surprised, because it was something I had already been told.
“I will move.”
Just take me slowly and move forward.
It seemed like it moved about the size of a day.
I went up and down repeatedly, and sometimes I would go up the stairs out of nowhere and sometimes I would go down the stairs instead.
It seems like it’s moving in circles, but how far does it go?
By the time I thought about that.
“We have arrived.”
I heard the words I had been waiting for, and my vision became clear again.
‘Here.’
A few lanterns illuminate the space.
The floor was a rough stone floor, and even without that, the space was made entirely of stone.
I look back and see a dark entrance. That’s probably where I came in.
‘… … I’m a little nervous.’
At this point, it seemed like even if the party secretly killed me, they would never find out.
‘… … Where is this?’
Where is the location?
I thought I didn’t know the exact location because he was wearing a mask.
[It’s right below the head of the household’s office.]
“… … .”
Yoo Cheon-gil calmly told me the correct answer.
[Why bother going back? Just go… … Anyway, all the Tang family guys are weird, right?]
Tsk tsk.
I try to ignore Yoo Cheon-gil, who keeps clicking his tongue, and turn my gaze back.
On the other side of the entrance, against a seemingly blocked wall, someone was standing and looking at me.
The head of the Tang family is the Dokwang Dang Gyeongak.
“You came.”
“Your Majesty.”
“I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused for security reasons.”
“no.”
He smiled awkwardly at the Poison King’s apology.
… … I already know where it is, so what?
I looked around furtively, paying homage to the Poison King.
The number of people is not that many.
If we try, there are seven people including the Poison King?
The four were wearing cotton clothes, so their gender and age were unknown.
The only ones whose faces are visible are the Poison King and the remaining two people.
The eyes of those two people were quite subtle.
They looked like they had no idea why they were there.
at that time.
“… … Prince Bang?”
One of the two people who had been standing there blankly, Cheon Ui-jin, called out to me in a panic.
Then the remaining one would be obvious.
“Bang Seong-yeon.”
I smiled at the young man’s voice.
He is a member of the Sowol-dae who came to Sacheon with me.
He is my direct senior.
“What is this… what is happening?”
This was the shape that would become my lucky talisman in this work.
