Episode 222. It was decided that the open ark, Sa Eung-cheon, would take charge of the issue of recovering from the state of the
imperial palace’s gliding state back to a human being.
This is because the opening had already detained Anjibong, the pinnacle of Jiangxi’s manufacturing sector.
According to Si Eung-cheon, the man had a very mean nature, so he was confident that with a little coaxing, he would show him the way.
As the Pangogi disease was able to return to human form, it is certain that other ski slopes can also be restored.
Han Ibi said this to the departing Ark.
“You must never talk about what happened inside Yogwang Cave. Strict security must be maintained. Otherwise… Elder Sun might bite his tongue.”
I said it as a joke, but it wasn’t a joke.
Seonmujae is a type of scholar who upholds his reputation like gold and okjo.
Sa Eung-cheon also nodded in deep sympathy and quickly left, leading the cart carrying the downhill skiers.
Many members of the Murim League stayed there to clean up the ruined Qilian Gate.
However, the advance team, including Han Ibi, first arrived at the Cheonghae branch of the Murim League and carried out maintenance, including treating injuries.
Maeng Gap-son came to the bed where Han Ibi was nursing to discuss future plans.
He said with a smile.
“Thank you for your hard work. King of Destruction. “There was no room this time either.”
However, instead of responding, Han Ibi asked an odd question.
“Head of the Maeng clan.”
“why?”
“Do you feel that you are alive, Chief Maeng?”
“what? “What kind of bullshit is that?”
“It is asking whether you believe that you are living according to your own will.”
‘I was wondering if the head of the family might be like an NPC from a game.’
Maeng Gap-son seemed deep in thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“No way…”
Han Ibi swallowed dry saliva and waited for the next words.
“…You must not have been subsumed by the doctrines of the Demonic Cult in that short period of time, right?”
Hey.
Han Ibi waved her hand and said.
“Oh, that’s it. “Why would I have such a serious conversation with Head Maeng?”
“joy. “I can say things like this because I’m at my level.”
His expression… seemed truly filled with pride.
‘Ugh. Seeing him with such vanity… It’s clear that he’s more human than humans, NPC or not…’
“Yes. yes. Well sir. “I’ll just ask you something else.”
“Whatever.”
“Good… Is there a famous sect in Henan Province?”
“of course.”
“Where is it?”
“Even a three-year-old child knows this. “It’s Shaolin Temple.”
‘Then… are the remaining players disguised as Shaolin monks?’
“Hmm… Is there anything else there?”
“Well… in Henan Province, there is no other sect worth mentioning other than the Shaolin Temple.”
“Is that so….”
‘Then let’s narrow the scope down a bit.’
Ebi Han said.
“Then wasn’t there anything in the opening?”
Then Maeng Gap-son looked at Han Ibi and said.
“Are you really asking this because you don’t know? Or are you testing me?”
“No, you’re asking because you really don’t know.”
Maeng Gap-son spoke bluntly with an expression as if he wanted to see all the strange people.
“You idiot. “Are you saying you’ve already forgotten where you got your education?”
“ah…!”
Yes.
Opened in Henan Province.
That is where the headquarters of the Murim Alliance is located.
Han Ibi, a street girl, had already completely forgotten about it.
‘Right. ‘Why did I forget such a simple thing?’
And that wasn’t the only thing I forgot.
‘Opening part. A place where the two great centers that rule the world and the martial arts are gathered… And the thing that crosses those two axes is…’
That was then.
Tiriring.
[Main Quest Accomplished: We have rescued the Murim Alliance comrades detained within Qilian Gate.]
Han Ibi thought with a smile.
‘Oh my. It appears that the human restoration work of the downhill crews has progressed well.’
[Reward 1: Strength +40, Strength +30, Dexterity +20, Wisdom +30, Charisma +20, Reputation +20] [
Reward 2: The location of Baektaekjepalan, the Baektaekjepalan, has been confirmed.]
[Advice: Baektaekjepalan provides the player’s location information. ..]
‘Oh, that’s enough. Backstabbing. I already saved it on my own… You should have told me earlier. next.’
[Additional reward: Permission to increase skill by 2 levels has been granted.]
‘Oh. This is a bit salty. ‘It gives you a chance to improve your weak skills, right?’
In today’s terms, this could be said to be acquiring two skill points.
Han Ibi opened the status window and looked down at her skills.
Experience shows that it does not go beyond level 12, so it seems that the final level of each martial arts is limited to level 12.
I don’t know why it’s 12 and not 13 or 10, but…
Han Ibi muttered to herself.
‘The lowest, the lowest…’
And one skill caught my eye.
It was ‘Zhongli Muhyeonggong: Stage 4’.
‘Ohh. Right. If possible, I should invest in cost-effective skills.’
Without further ado, Han Yi-bi generously added two more steps to Zongli Muhyeonggong.
At that time, Maeng Gap-son waved his palm in front of Han Ibi’s face and said.
“Why are you laughing so foolishly by yourself? “I guess I didn’t fall victim to the devil’s magic without my knowledge, right?”
Han Yi-bi was startled and hurriedly waved her hand and said.
“Oh no. Lord Maeng. Since I’ve been away for too long, I think I should go back to Cheongseongsan Mountain. “Then I’ll see you next time.”
* * *
Han Ibi politely greeted Jang Moon-in.
“Elder Bok. “Zhonglimei has completed his mission and has returned.”
Bok Yeon-hwa was busy doing her work.
She put down her brush for a moment and looked at Han Ibi.
“Good work. “The Murim Alliance has already delivered the message, so there is no need to report separately.”
Then he picked up the brush again and started scribbling something.
‘Oh my goodness. He is a very mean person. ‘I like it because it’s very consistent.’
Lee Shin-song, who was standing next to him at that time, smiled slyly and said.
“Ohh! Jongrimae. I heard the whole story. The performance was very dazzling. Not only Cheonseong Palace but also the Demonic Cult was completely destroyed, right? Very good job. good job. With this, my status as a powerhouse of our Cheongseong Sect will skyrocket…”
Lee Shin-song felt Bok Yeon-hwa’s gaze staring at him sharply and quickly finished his sentence with an awkward expression.
“…It’s a thing. Ahaha. “You had a hard time.”
Ebi Han said.
“It’s all thanks to the hard work of our elders and elders.”
“Kuhm. Is it something like that? Ahaha. Now that I think about it, it seems like that…”
These types of people are good because they are easy to deal with.
At that time, Lee Shin-song said with a serious expression.
“But do you know that?”
“yes?”
“Maybe they were busy with work and didn’t know.”
“What on earth are you talking about?…”
He spoke in a very low voice, wondering what he was so afraid of.
“What happened at the imperial palace? Recently, there was an attempt to plot against the imperial family…”
At that moment, Yeonhwa Bok screamed.
“Stop talking nonsense and go back and rest!”
Then Lee Shin-song quickly responded, ‘Ah, it’s hot.’
“yes. Bok Jang-moon. “That’s right.”
When Han Yi-bi saw that, she smiled and thought to herself.
‘If you say treason, it’s like a coup d’état… Ugh… But the more I talk about politics, the more my head hurts. There was no interest in it either then or now. What does that have to do with me….’
Then, Han Ibi suddenly thought of King Yesung.
‘…There might be this. But I don’t have time to think about that now.’
Han Ibi raised her head and asked, shaking off her complicated feelings.
“Jong Li-hyuk returned safely?”
He is my older brother, but since he is lower in rank, I have to speak informally to match him.
Shinsong Lee said.
“okay. “I received treatment at the Murim Alliance and returned safely.”
* * *
Yeo Nan-ju has been treating Han Ibi very kindly since they went to the Murim Alliance for training together.
To the point where it’s a burden.
Something thinner than a dumpling skin may be so similar to Lee Shin-song… The same
is true today when we meet after a long time.
‘I came to see Jong Ri-hyuk, but why are you here…’
Yeo Nan-ju was talking non-stop.
“I heard you were active in Ganja? iced coffee. It’s really so cool. “I tried something like that once too…”
Han Ibi said.
“Ganja’s activities are confidential, so how did they become known to the outside world? Tsk tsk. “I never thought there would be such a big hole in the security of the Murim Alliance.”
“oh. Outside? Between us.”
Between us…
Han Ibi said as she felt goosebumps rising.
“no. “That’s not what it’s about.”
“Anyway, it’s all over now. Basically, good things quickly become known… huh? Hey.”
However, Han Ibi was already walking to Jong Ri-hyuk and So Eun-ri.
“brother. “I’m glad you’re safe.”
The two people’s eyes met.
A moment of silence. But soon…
“You too… you’re lucky. “I’m safe.”
Han Ibi was surprised.
I can’t believe that this world’s indifferent Jong Li-hyeok even said ‘thank goodness’.
Also, ‘Samurai’?
Jong Ri-hyuk continued.
“For saving me… and for avenging my family’s enemies… I’m really grateful.”
‘omg. ‘I’m sure I didn’t hear this wrong, right?’
“no. brother. Well, that family is my family. Now…”
Han Yi-bi continued, looking at Jong Ri-hyuk with a serious expression.
“…There is only one thing left to do.”
Then Jong Ri-hyuk also asked with a serious expression.
“What is that?”
Han Ibi answered with a grin.
“It’s about passing on the generations. I’m talking about reviving the Zhongli family again. “Please try harder in the future.”
Jong Ri-hyuk with an absurd expression.
At that time, Yeo Nanju, who was behind him, spoke loudly.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. I… Eup. town.”
So Eun-ri spoke while covering Yeo Nan-ju’s mouth with an embarrassed expression.
“Don’t worry about Nanju, just talk. “There must be a lot of stories of conflict between brothers.”
Right.
It seems like the two women have become quite close while not seeing each other.
‘After all, there is no better adhesive than rolling together in the gutter. If Yeomsaji Dream had an ending, it would have ended like this…’
Han Ibi said with a smile.
“ruler! Well then, shall we have a drink with brothers after a long time and let go of some thoughts? Tsk tsk. “I’ve already gotten permission from a long-time adult, so I can stop worrying.”
* * *
At the same time as Han Ibi estimated the evil spirit ball, she also continuously checked and monitored the player’s location through Baektaekjepalan.
‘This is a really convenient tool.’
Anyway, if something happens, it will be through these players.
However, their position is still ‘opening department’.
‘Hmm… ‘Who on earth is the player?’
Meanwhile, what happened in the imperial palace had much more to do with King Yeseong than expected.
It was also a much bigger connection than I thought…
The details were as follows.
Originally, the person who was supposed to succeed the current emperor was the eldest son, King Yegyeong.
The current emperor, Emperor Yongzheng, had been suffering from a chronic illness for over ten years. Although he
grew weaker day by day, he was holding on well without dying.
Time passed by inexorably…
The second king, King Yepyeong, who was already growing old, urged King Yegyeong to hasten the transfer of the throne.
King Yegyeong, who was knowledgeable, reported this to the emperor and put King Yepyeong in trouble…
King Yepyeong, who was in danger due to charges of treason, murdered his own brother, King Yegyeong, and started a rebellion in order to usurp the throne.
However…
King Yeseong appeared as if he had been waiting and subdued King Yepyeong’s forces.
In addition to his own inaction, he actively utilized his close relationships with people in Gangho.
There was some criticism that he was bringing the Wulin forces into the affairs of the imperial family…
In any case, he imprisoned King Yepyeong, and when Jakgeum Yongjeong heard this news, he was furious, but eventually decided to transfer his throne to King Yeseong. They say he ate it.
The only sane son left was King Yeseong.
Measures to prevent further confusion.
And after some time.
Han I-bi and Bok Yeon-hwa were discussing various issues within the Cheongseong faction.
Lee Shin-song ran towards them in a huff and said.
