The World’s Greatest Man is Dead Episode 084
Cheon Ui-jin and Do-hyeong seemed completely unaware of what was happening.
Well, I would do the same thing.
Because he was probably dragged here in the morning.
‘I guess the Poison King really didn’t deliver it.’
The reason these two came here is none other than this.
Because it was included in the conditions I set for opening the notice.
‘Instead of helping open the Dokjon’s secret, I’ll take Cheon Ui-jin and Do-hyeong with me.’
That was one of the conditions, and upon hearing this, the Poison King was troubled.
As for the remarks, it has to be done secretly, but I guess that’s why I said I have to add two more people here.
‘I gave permission anyway.’
Nevertheless, the King accepted.
They probably decided that adding two more would not be a problem.
So I brought those two people.
To be exact.
‘I needed a shape.’
I needed the shape of the small moon. No. To be honest, it’s not even a shape. What I really need is.
‘Guardian Spirit.’
A guardian spirit hovering around the shape, that’s what was needed.
‘… … That’s my lifeline.’
Go into the notes and you never know what might happen.
I needed a way to save my life, and that’s what I found after thinking about it.
‘With a guardian spirit of the mountain god.’
At least I won’t die.
Based on my past life experience, it was certain.
‘If you just stick to the shape, you’ll survive.’
No matter what happens, the Guardian Spirit will try to save Do-hyung.
Then, you can enjoy the good luck that will come your way.
That’s exactly why I brought the shapes.
‘… …Cheon Ui-jin.’
The role of the thousand-year-old man who sings with the shape is no different.
‘Preparing for any eventuality.’
It might be strange to just sing the shape, so I sang it together.
“How did this happen?”
The figure frowns and asks me. I look at him and say, “That’s ridiculous.”
“Senior. I was also caught.”
Why did he assume that I would naturally know the situation, it was ridiculous.
“There’s no way you wouldn’t know the situation?”
“If you’re Prince Bang, wouldn’t you know?”
“… … .”
For some reason, the two were confident.
No… … That’s true, but… … .
‘It’s a bit strange to be so sure.’
Why do you think I know?
That’s embarrassing, but… … .
“… … I know that, though.”
I had nothing to say because what I actually knew was correct.
When I brought it up, the two of them looked like they knew it would happen.
Why on earth… … ?
It was a bit disappointing, but explaining the situation was the priority right now.
“The Lord of the Party has given us a request… … .”
“A request?”
“Is this the speech of the Lord?”
Both of them widened their eyes in surprise at my words.
At the same time, he looked at the Poison King, who nodded without saying anything.
“Thanks to your consideration, I was able to complete the task. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused you two, as this was an important matter.”
“… …Can I ask what’s going on?”
Do-hyung asked slightly nervously. Then the Poison King looked at me.
He met my gaze and nodded slightly.
“In order to open the note left by the previous lord, I need the help of the lord of the room.”
“… … !”
The previous head of the household.
At the words, “The only one who can do this,” Cheon Ui-jin and Do-hyeong’s eyes grew as big as lanterns.
It is nothing more than a note from a hero who lived in the same era as Geomseong.
It was surprising to suddenly hear about such a place.
“Are you saying that you need that guy’s help to open a place like that?”
“exactly.”
At those words, a look of wariness appeared on Do-hyung’s face.

I don’t understand. Why do you suddenly need my help in opening the Dokjon’s secret?
That was understandable, too. To be honest, I didn’t really understand it either.
but.
“To be exact, I need the help of the descendants of the Sword Saints.”
The expression on Do-hyung’s face changes as he speaks.
“……what?”
“The current note was made by the previous lord, and the method of opening it was also determined by him.”
As he spat out the words, the Poison King pointed towards the wall with his hand.
It was a wall that looked like it had nothing on it.
“But there is a problem with that method.”
It was only after hearing that that I intervened.
“… … Are you saying that you need me for that method?”
“That’s right.”
To open the note, you need a descendant of the Black Sword.
Up to this point, it was expected. That’s why you even asked me to do it.
one.
‘Why is it necessary?’
I didn’t know why I needed a descendant of the Black Sword to open the notice.
It was only now that I discovered the reason.
“To open the secret, you need a descendant of the Sword Master. That is the story that the Dokjon left behind.”
“… … .”
It is such a plain statement and reason.
What’s more,
‘You said he was a descendant?’
He mentioned that he was not a swordsman but a descendant of a swordsman? That was strange.
furthermore.
‘Why did I have to say that I needed the help of a descendant to open my private archives?’
The biggest question is: why did it have to be that way?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps the Poison King would be the same.
I don’t understand though.
‘I believe it because the Dokjon said so.’
Okay, I get that far. If that’s the case.
“How can I help you… … ?”
What should I do? Everything is fine, so what should I do to help?
When asked about this, the Poison King’s eyebrows move slightly.
When asked what he should do to open the note, the Poison King said:
“I don’t know.”
Huh… …? I frowned after hearing the answer. Did I hear wrong?
“… …My lord?”
“I don’t know.”
Ah, I didn’t mishear. I was hoping I did, but I guess I didn’t.
“You don’t know?”
You don’t know how to open it? Then why do I need it?
“Then how can I help you… … ?”
When asked with a puzzled expression, the Poison King added:
“The previous lord said that if there were a successor of Manwol and Geomseong, they would be able to open the secret chamber.”
What is that?
“You said that later generations would know the method, but what does it look like to you, Bang So-hyeop?”
“… … .”
What does it look like to me? Of course.
‘Do you understand?’
How would I know that? It was something I had never heard of.
If he was originally not a real descendant, he would have had quite a headache here.
I didn’t have to do that.
‘……hmm.’
I rolled my eyes and looked into space.
There.
[What does that mean? What do I need to open the note?]
The real Sword Master, not the descendant of the Sword Master.
[Ah. That. Right, that’s what happened.]
The owner of the note, Dokjon, was having a conversation.
When Yoo Cheon-gil asked why the story of the descendants of the Black Sword came up out of nowhere, Dok-jon clapped his hands as if he had realized something he had forgotten.
[That’s fake. Don’t worry about it.]
[huh?]
‘yes?’
Yoo Cheon-gil and I showed a dumbfounded reaction to Dok-jon’s words.
… … Is it fake?
[I was writing down some excuses, and then you came to mind.]
[This crazy guy? What the hell is he talking about?]
[No, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t take on any disciples even if you died soon? That’s why I wrote it down roughly.]
“… … .”
I quickly washed my face with my hands.
What am I listening to right now?
“Room shaming?”
“… … Just a moment. I have a headache right now.”
I stopped the King’s words and took a deep breath.
Even then, the old people continued to converse with each other.
[Still, that’s true. What are you going to do if you write something like that?]
[This guy? Did you really think I would show up as your successor? I said I would never save you!]
[That doesn’t mean that-!]
It was quite noisy. The conversation wasn’t progressing and they were busy arguing among themselves.
“… … Khuhum-!!”
So I quickly let out a loud cough. The eyes of the audience, including the Poison King, were drawn to my voice. I smiled awkwardly and waved my hand.
“Oh, sorry. The air is a bit bad.”
Of course I said it on purpose.
Thanks to this, the fighting ghosts become quiet.
I winked at that.
so.
‘What should I do?’
What should I do about this situation? I asked him directly, and only then did Dokjon speak to me.
[Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways]
[How can you not worry? Your shit is so big.]
[This kid… … ?]
Oh, please.
I thought they would fight again, but fortunately, Dokjon did not speak to me any more.
[Do as I say, and everything will be resolved.]
“… … .”
He took a deep breath at the words of the Dokjon and spoke to the Poison King.
“I’ll give it a try.”
“Are you saying you know something?”
“Well… … . There was no word from the teacher… … .”
I stared at the wall, wasting time as if I was wasting my time.
“In the end, I guess we’ll just have to see it to know.”
He spat out those words and started walking.
* * *
I walked up to the wall.
Didn’t you say the location was right below Gajusil?
‘How far down are you?’
At first glance, it would appear to be located quite low.
You could tell just by looking at the extent of the cave.
It’s truly amazing how they created such a deep and wide cave in the ground.
‘… … The old man’s warehouse was like that too, but it’s still amazing no matter how much I look at it.’
A cave connected to the floors of all the buildings in Cheongwolmun.
I felt it even then, but it seems that Dokjon was not only a potter, but also had abilities in this area.
With that in mind, I continued to approach the wall.
“… … Is this the correct location?”
I asked the Poison King.
“That’s right. This is the location of the note left by the previous lord.”
“Have you ever been a goddess?”
“No. It is impossible because the conditions are not met.”
“… … .”
It can only be opened by a descendant of the Sword Master.
Are you saying that you didn’t open it because of the fake conditions that Dokjon left behind?
Is this something like the courtesy of a descendant trying to keep a will?
That seemed a little strange.
“… … Have you ever tried to open it by force?”
Even if the conditions aren’t right, you can still try to open it, right? But I don’t understand if you don’t even try.
“I tried.”
Surprisingly, they say they tried.
“… … But you’re saying that you couldn’t open it?”
As I looked around the cave and asked, the Poison King answered calmly.
“Eight people died when their bodies exploded while trying to force it open.”
“… … .”
……hmm.
It was something I shouldn’t have heard.
[Tsk tsk… … . Why are people who don’t even know anything about the organization messing with it?]
[You bastard, you’ve been putting in useless things again.]
[Hey, you. Then, did you not do anything?]
“… … .”
Should I just say I won’t do it now?
I have a feeling that I’ll get in trouble if I make a mistake.
‘……explosion?’
What did you do to cause an explosion? I looked around, but there was no sign of anything like that.
There was an incident, but there was no trace.
That was scarier.
So I just stared at the wall, and the Poison King looked at me and said.
“Even with dozens of lawmakers and engineers, they still couldn’t figure it out. I requested a favor as instructed by the previous lord, but if it takes time… … .”
at that time.
[Hey.]
The Dokjon spoke to me.
[Just move eight steps backwards.]
After hearing that, I walked back without hesitation.
My sudden actions caught the Poison King’s eye.
Exactly eight steps. As I walk backwards, Dokjon continues speaking.
[There will be rocks on the floor.]
I looked down. I saw a really small pebble.
[That’s it. Pick it up.]
I picked up a stone.
[Throw what you catch to the northwest. You must throw it on the ground near the wall, not at the wall.]
‘The ground close to the wall.’
I threw it lightly. It landed on the ground right next to the wall.
People just stare in silence at my strange behavior.
The Poison King looked on expressionlessly.
The figure had a questioning expression on his face as to what he was doing.
Cheon Ui-jin had an expression of anticipation on his face for some reason.
[Now, approach the ground where the stone fell.]
I followed the words.
[Extend your index finger to the wall.]
Reach out.
[Just move slightly to the left. Just move a little further. A little further. And there. Put your index finger on the wall.]
A rough texture touched the tip of my index finger.
[From there, draw a cross downwards.]
Swish swish.
I drew a cross following the feeling.
At that moment.
Ki-ki …
Kukukung—!!!
“……hmm?”
The cave begins to rumble violently.
Thud thud thud! Dust pours down from the ceiling.
The Tang family’s unmanned personnel inside quickly take precautions.
“What the… … !”
“Suddenly a cave… … ?”
In this situation, the drones are trying to quickly take care of the poison king.
“Calm down.”
The Poison King actually calmed those unmanned people down.
Even as he spoke, the Poison King was looking at me with heavy eyes.
‘… … Is this okay… … ?’
At a time when even I was confused by the situation that was unfolding.
thud.
The vibration that had been ringing loudly stopped.
Kkeuggeuk-!
Suddenly, the wall in front of me moves and changes shape as if a door is opening.
It was an entrance that anyone could easily enter.
“… … .”
“… … Huh?”
“Uh, that’s… … ?”
The moment when everyone was dumbfounded by the protruding entrance.
[Oh. Good job.]
He spoke brightly, as if he liked being alone.
[Your work skills are pretty good. If there had been just one mistake, the three of you would have exploded and died. Hahaha.]
[Isn’t that right? That guy has a really weird personality, but this part is kind of okay.]
“… … .”
He put his hand on his forehead.
‘Oh really, should I just throw it away?’
I thought about it seriously.
