◈ Episode 64 These people know everything, right? (One)
A stylish high-rise villa in Washington DC, USA.
On the rooftop of the villa, a man was frowning as he looked at some documents.
“Kim Joo-hyuk… … It’s Kim Joo-hyuk… … .”
The man is looking at the documents while muttering Kim Joo-hyuk’s name.
His true identity was that he was a member of Ilgyo (一敎) and one of the members of Ilgyo who had tried to deal with Kim Joo-hyuk along with a man wearing a hood not long ago.
“Hmm.”
He skimmed through Kim Joo-hyuk’s documents and frowned as if it was strange.
‘Is this all there is?’
He checked to see if there were overlapping pages among the documents he received, but there were no overlapping pages.
‘It’s only three pieces… … .’
Of course, you might think that three pages might be a lot to write down a person’s personal information.
However, the intelligence agency the man requested did not only sell people’s personal information.
The intelligence agency ‘Damascus’, to which the man entrusted the request regarding ‘Kim Joo-hyuk’, provides the client with whatever information he wants, as long as he first pays the fee.
Very detailed and detailed.
This was the same even if the subject of the request was a person.
First, all you have to do is make a request to Damascus and pay the fee, and they will research and bring back anything about the person you requested.
And the man said he wanted all information about Kim Joo-hyuk from Damascus.
The man requested all the information about Kim Joo-hyuk, starting from where he was born, what he went through and how he lived.
However, the information given to him was three small documents.
‘… … This is the first time something like this has happened.’
The man had been a frequent visitor to Damascus while handling Ilgyo missions, and whenever he requested information on a specific person, dozens of documents were always sent to him.
but now?
‘Three sheets… … ‘There are three.’
Only three sheets.
Did I make a mistake in my request? A thought passed through his mind, but he quickly shook his head.
Because the contents of the request were accurate.
Therefore, even though the man felt doubtful, he began to read the three documents sent to him, and after a while, he looked at the documents and muttered a review.
“It’s normal.”
normal.
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk’s life was not ordinary by the standards of an extremely ordinary person.
That’s because Kim Joo-hyuk’s history, as currently written in the documents, seemed very unfortunate compared to that of an ordinary person.
‘Parents died in a dungeon explosion, and Kim Joo-hyuk grew up in a high-risk local orphanage before entering Valhalla.’
‘He was an extremely ordinary child who didn’t talk much in the orphanage, and because it was a high-risk area, he encountered monsters a few times, but he never suffered any major damage.’
He was reading through various information about Kim Joo-hyuk, but then he took his eyes off the document and tilted his head.
‘There’s nothing special about it.’
I literally don’t know the present, but there was nothing special about Kim Joo-hyuk’s past.
If I could point out something special, it would be that his life is a little less fortunate than others.
‘No, no.’
In fact, in this world where monsters are rampant, Kim Joo-hyuk’s past cannot be said to be particularly special in terms of disadvantage.
Right now, in poor countries around the world, there are people who are living their lives completely exposed to monsters due to the lack of national power.
‘What on earth?’
However, because of this, the man’s curiosity about Kim Joo-hyuk became deeper.
Why did the Constellation say that they would just watch him instead of killing him?
Why was Damascus able to collect only three pieces of information about Kim Joo-hyuk?
The man, who had been contemplating for a long time in a situation where everything was questionable, soon shook his head and scattered the papers as if he did not understand.
Grumble-!
As soon as the man scatters the paper, it disappears in blue flames.
When the man turned to enter the building again.
[Dugwi opens his mouth once again with an expectant look on his face telling him to go watch over Kim Joo-hyuk.]
The man unconsciously made a blank expression at the notification window that appeared before his eyes, but soon lowered his head.
“Yes, I understand.”
####
When I think about it, Choi A-rin’s martial arts felt strangely familiar from the first time I saw it.
Is that it?
Kim Joo-hyuk was exposed to a lot of Choi Ah-rin’s martial arts techniques while dealing with her, so he found it a bit fascinating.
That’s because the techniques used by Choi A-rin were very similar to those known by Kim Joo-hyuk.
However, the reason Kim Joo-hyuk did not specifically talk about the technique used by Choi A-rin was because there were many similar techniques in this world.
Just 300 years ago, Kim Joo-hyuk had seen many people who had different names but virtually the same skills.
Above all, in the case of Choi A-rin, it was clearly similar to the method that Kim Joo-hyuk knew, but the ending was strangely different, so Kim Joo-hyuk did not bring up the story about the method with her.
however.
[The King of Swords expresses doubt.]
[The Sword King looks at you and tilts his head as if curious.]
At the same time as the notification window appeared, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Choi A-rin and immediately smiled without even realizing it.
As expected, the magic power that Choi A-rin was emitting was clearly different from the magic power she used to emit.
Kim Joo-hyuk was well aware of the distinct difference in magical power.
[The Sword King looks at you with a strange expression and tilts his head.]
[The King of Swords shows great interest in your magic power.]

Next, a notification window appears.
At that, Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled and laughed without realizing it.
“Surely, you’re a kid?”
So I asked the question.
[The Sword King stands up in surprise!]
[The King of Swords makes a noise of horror, saying this is nonsense.]
[I am astonished, as if the Sword King is in confusion!]
[I am astonished, as if the Sword King is in confusion!]
[I am astonished, as if the Sword King is in confusion!]
[I am astonished, as if the Sword King is in confusion!]
[I am astonished, as if the Sword King is in confusion!]
[I am astonished, as if the Sword King is in confusion!]
[I am astonished, as if the Sword King is in confusion!]
[I am astonished, as if the Sword King is in confusion!]
… … … …
..
.
Soon, as the notification window began to appear in front of his eyes, Kim Joo-hyuk realized that the constellation called Taowang was the one he had guessed, and he smiled.
300 years ago,
Or, to be more precise, there was an immature kid that Kim Joo-hyuk met around the time he was starting to establish himself and raise his students.
There was a guy who said that the martial arts technique he created was the best in the world and was beaten by Kim Joo-hyuk after challenging him to a match.
Of course, if it had ended there, there would be no way he would have remained in Kim Joo-hyuk’s memory, but the point is that the kid had been coming to Kim Joo-hyuk for five years without a single day off and asking for a spar.
Of course, the kid never defeated Kim Joo-hyuk for five years, but during those five years, Kim Joo-hyuk taught the kid quite a lot.
[The King of Swords, why on earth is my brother here?! He asks as if he is confused.]
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and said that the little boy who was always beaten by him had become a constellation.
“A long time? kid.”
####
Kim Joo-hyuk realized that the sword king of the Choi Jin family was the same guy he knew before talking to him.
“This idiot… … .”
“Korean inch”
“Hey, you did that?”
“Korean inch”
“If you really do it one more time.”
“Korean inch.”
“Uggyaaaaaah I’m going to kill you!!!”
I stopped the two of them, who rolled their eyes and had a spectacular chemical reaction just by meeting each other, as if water and oil met.
“Both of you, stop.”
“But this crazy idiot keeps going!”
“He’s one too, but you shouldn’t do that to your senior.”
“senior? What kind of bullshit is this! “Why is that idiot my senior?”
On the other hand, Yan Lang is looking at Kim Joo-hyuk with a questioning expression, asking what kind of bullshit this is.
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke about it.
“He was the first one to learn from me, and you were the second, right?”
Of course, there was Yoo So-yeon, but rather than teaching Kim Joo-hyuk, Yoo So-yeon just followed along and trained with Kim Joo-hyuk as she pleased, so she wasn’t considered a student.
“… … !”
Unlike before, Choi A-rin smiled for the first time in satisfaction and looked at Yan Lang.
“hey! “I can’t admit this!”
“Then you won’t learn?”
“… … to?”
“Then you’re saying you won’t be my disciple.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Yan Lang’s pupils trembled as if she had a brain freeze for a moment, but she soon clenched her teeth with a feeling of ‘sigh’ and opened her mouth.
“Nag… … Well… … !”
“Oh, I thought about it well, Choi A-rin, don’t suddenly bully or make fun of me unnecessarily, okay?”
“huh. okay.”
Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled as he saw her nodding her head brightly with an expression that said she looked very good, and then turned his gaze to look at the sword that Choi A-rin was holding.
A sword with a glossy sheen as if it were covered with blue scales.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had heard through the previous question that it was Cheongwoldo, a sacred relic of the Choi Jin family, opened his mouth.
“Can you show me that Blue Moon Sword for a moment?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
In fact, this behavior was extremely rude in the industry.
That’s because what Choi A-rin was holding right now was the Cheongwoldo, a treasure and relic of the Choi Jin family.
however.
“here.”
Choi A-rin did not ask any questions about Kim Joo-hyuk’s request and handed over Cheongwol Island to him very easily.
“thank you.”
Kim Joo-hyuk took over Cheongwoldo from Choi A-rin without much emotion.
“???”
Rather, it is Yanrang who tilts his head as if he does not understand something in the situation.
Of course, she only stayed at the White Lotus Palace after suffering a great injury from her family, but she still lived within the family for more time than at the White Lotus Palace, so she knew industry etiquette well.
‘… … Is it okay to give a holy relic like that?’
Yan Lang looked at Choi A-rin with a strange expression as she handed over the family relic without even a second’s pause, as if she was handing over something that was truly obvious.
Choi A-rin was smiling cheerfully, unlike before, as if she didn’t really care about Cheongwoldo in the first place.
“The design is a bitch.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at the Cheongwoldo handed over by Choi A-rin with cold eyes, also looked very strange in Yan Lang’s eyes.
And Yanrang, who looked at that for a moment,
‘No, am I weird? uh???’
I was confused as I wondered if something had changed in the few years I had been imprisoned in the White Lotus Palace.
Meanwhile, Kim Joo-hyuk was holding Cheongwoldo.
At the same time, I felt as if my mind was being sucked out.
“Wow, you’re really Hyeonoh hyung??”
He was able to meet Taowang, one of his acquaintances from 300 years ago.
