Episode 1125 If a friend calls, of course you should come. (5)
Unlike the Hwasan Ice Palace, which was very harmonious(?), the atmosphere of the Beast Archers was not so good.
In the end, he couldn’t ignore the authority of the Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace, so he stepped down, but looking at it coldly, he couldn’t have felt good because he was pushed out by someone who was just their son’s age.
Moreover, the fact that the young man’s attitude towards them and towards the volcano were so different also offended them.
Depending on how you look at it, there was ample room for all of these actions to be seen as an act of ignoring the Nanman Beast Palace.
Just because they were linked together under the name of Saeweoogung, how much of a bond was there between the Ice Palace and the Yasu Palace? The only thing that bound them together was the discriminatory treatment they received from the Central Plains people.
However, once Cheon Woo-maeng solved those problems to some extent, cultural differences between them that had not been revealed until now began to surface.
“No matter what, isn’t that a bit harsh?”
“I thought you called us enemies a little while ago?”
“Can those who kill innocent animals for unnecessary skins be good people? “They are people you can’t relate to.”
“This is the worst.”
The Beast Archers exchanged small opinions among themselves. Hostility toward Binggung gradually increased.
“He’s still young and very cocky.”
“I’m not sure what to say. “If I were a Beast Palace, I wouldn’t be at an age where I could have become a Cow Palace Master.”
“It looks like he lacks ability.”
“I don’t like it.”
What they found especially unsightly was that no matter how they looked at it, Binggungju did not look that strong.
Of course, there is no denying that the momentum he shows is excellent for his age. However, no matter who sees it, the people standing behind it look stronger than Binggungju.
It is a natural law in nature that the strong become the leader. It is incomprehensible to their common sense that a person who has neither experience nor power can occupy a top position based solely on social status.
“You don’t know that just because you wear a sword, you’re high in the sky.”
At that moment, a sharp voice sounded in their ears.
“What did you say just now?”
“hmm?”
Unlike Hwasan, who was making a lot of noise, the ice archers who were quietly observing the situation from behind seemed to have heard their conversation. Some of the ice archers in the lead approached the beast archers with cold eyes.
“I asked, ‘What did you just say?’”
“…But are these guys tolerable to us?”
“These barbarians who don’t even know how to wear clothes properly talk about how their mouths are open. what? “Are you lacking in ability?”
And of course, the gaze of the Beast Palace was also unacceptable to Bing Palace.
If the Beast Palace follows the law of the fittest, the Ice Palace is a place where you fight against Mother Nature. It is taken for granted that the wise, not the strong, survive.
And Seol So-baek is the palace lord recognized even by the elders of the Bing Palace. Denying the owner of the ice palace, Seol Sobaek, was tantamount to denying the entire way of life of the ice archers.
“…did you say you were a barbarian?”
Tensions rose between the two groups.
Until the opening ceremony of the Cheonwoo Alliance, the two factions were not on good terms with each other… or rather, the two factions were on the good side, but now they are showing their teeth to each other.
Just when the tension between the two groups was extremely high.
“Until there.”
Beast Palace Lord Meng Xiao, who had been quietly observing the situation until now, summed up the situation in a loud voice.
As soon as the Beast Archer stepped forward, the Beast Archers bowed their heads and retreated.
The ice archers didn’t seem to like it either, but they had no choice but to retreat. This was because they knew that if they ignored Meng Xiao’s words now, it would be tantamount to giving them indulgence for the actions of the beast archers who had pressured Xue Xiaobaek a moment ago.
“hmm.”
Meng Xiao looked at his subordinates and frowned.
“You were wrong this time. “Please apologize to Lord Binggung.”
“Old palace lord! We…”
“Stop.”
Meng Xiao waved his hand.
“What did the Central Plains say to us?”
“….”
“Didn’t they say that they are barbaric people who don’t know manners and don’t know how to live? What did you say every time that happened?”
“….”
“Answer me.”
One of the Beast Palace bowed its head and answered.
“They also said that if they came to live at the end of Yunnan or Nanman, they would have no choice but to live like us.”
“yes. A person’s life is bound to be different depending on where he or she lives. But… you who were so displeased with that gaze are doing the same thing to Binggung. “They just criticize according to their own standards without any intention of understanding.”
“….”
“If you had been a little more rude, I would have broken your backs myself.”
“sorry.”
“I guess I’m not the one to apologize to.”
At those words, the Beast Archers bowed their heads towards Seol Sobaek.
“I’m sorry, Lord Bingung.”
“We were rude.”
Xue Xiaobai glanced at the beast archers. In the past, Seol Sobaek Geon would have accepted the apology right away, but this time he didn’t say a word. The problem is not that he is in a bad mood, but that the North Sea has been ignored.
“I apologize too, Binggungju. Please understand.”
“Oh no. Lord of the palace. “Of course I understand.”
However, those feelings melted like snow when Meng Xiao directly bowed his head slightly. This was because Seol So-baek also knew how difficult it was for someone of the level of the beast palace lord to bow his head to others.
Seolsobaek scratched his nose as if he was embarrassed.
“In the beginning, um… I was a little sensitive too.”
“I understand. “You too have probably heard similar things to us.”
A sigh escaped from Seol Sobaek’s mouth. They are not that different from being ignored because they live differently from the Jungwon. That’s why I had no choice but to be sensitive to these remarks.
“If you think about it, the midfielders are the problem.”
“Yes, of course.”
“There’s no reason for us to fight among ourselves.”
“yes. “What the palace lord said is correct.”
Cheongmyeong, who was listening to those words, picked his ears with a sullen expression.
“I don’t think this is something you want to share in front of Joongwon.”
“ha ha ha. You are separate. “Because you are not a person who discriminates between the central world and the new world.”
“yes. you’re right. “I completely agree.”
“…That’s an insult, right?”
“Ahahahaha. Could that be possible? “If you think that your life is a waste, there is no way you would dare to criticize the world’s Hwasan Sword Association.”
“you’re right! Who dares criticize Dojang! “I will personally throw it to the bottom of the North Sea lake.”
Long sentence death penalty.
I don’t like them… I’m uncomfortable…
Cheongmyeong sighed as if the ground was sinking. What can we do? Embracing all of these noble people is the path he chose on his own.
“So what should we do now?”
“huh?”
“Give orders! We are ready.”
Cheongmyeong, feeling burdened by the approaching Seol Sobaek, took a step back, shedding a cold sweat.
“Well… I have good motivation, but since I had a hard time coming a long way, wouldn’t it be better to first relieve my travel fatigue? “I guess I should meet Jang Moon-in first, right?”
“yes! “I will!”
Seol So-baek nodded so vigorously that it felt too burdensome. Then he quickly began leading the ice archers into the manor.
“Be careful not to damage the gift cart!”
“yes!”
Cheongmyeong wiped the sweat from his forehead. Meng Xiao, who was standing next to him, spoke softly.
“…It seems to have grown in a strange direction.”
“Is that so?”
“I don’t think it’s a bad thing… but it’s a little strange.”
Meng Xiao smiled bitterly. A sigh escaped from Cheongmyeong’s mouth.
Although the situation was somehow resolved, the resentment between the Ice Archers and the Beast Archers did not disappear until the moment they retreated, and they were giving each other unfavorable looks.
Cheongmyeong, who was watching this, clicked his tongue slightly. And then he spoke in a serious voice.
“thank you.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m sure the palace lord wasn’t in a good mood either.”
Meng Xiao chuckled.
“What’s there to feel bad about?”
Of course, I say this, but it can’t have been a good feeling. In the first place, the way of thinking of Beast Archers and Meng Xiao cannot be very different. The fact that the archers are displeased means that Meng Xiao is bound to be disgruntled as well.
No, maybe I felt worse than the average archer. Meng Xiao is none other than the lord of the Beast Palace.
But he held back his feelings and scolded his archers first.
Although he is said to be the lord of the same Saewoogung, Seol Sobaek is still someone who cannot even be compared to himself. If he had tried to suppress him with force and authority, it would not have been difficult, but he apologized first and bowed his head. That’s why Cheongmyeong rarely said thank you.
“It’s nothing compared to what you do.”
“…yes?”
“Isn’t it true that even someone as impulsive as you is holding back by killing his temper?”
“No… your personality is not as bad as you think…”
“If it were you in the past, the moment the archers turned on each other, you would have beaten them both without a second thought.”
uh? After listening to it….
“But isn’t it funny that I got angry?”
“….”
“Rather… it might not be as easy as I thought.”
“What?”
Meng Xiao looked at Cheongmyeong as if he knew what he was asking again.
“It is not possible for me or the Princess Seol to rush to mediate every time something happens. “If that were possible, I wouldn’t have asked for help when you came to Yunnan in the past.”
“…but.”
“Archers recognize and respect the strong, but they don’t understand that they have to endure them instead. “They especially find it difficult to tolerate situations they don’t understand.”
“Because they are so free-spirited.”
Meng Xiao made a bitter expression.
He never thought that a problem like this would arise as soon as he encountered it. I came here to help, but I felt sorry for only giving me trouble.
“There might be a little problem. Are you okay?”
“What a problem.”
“huh?”
Seeing Cheongmyeong’s reaction was very disturbing, Meng Xiao asked with a puzzled expression.
“What does it mean?”
“Well, you’ll find out soon.”
Instead of answering, Cheongmyeong smiled, curling the corners of his mouth.
“More than that, you came here after cleaning up the Beast Palace neatly, right?”
“Like you said, we’ve taken steps to ensure that you don’t have to go back for a few years. “That’s why it took so long.”
“It’s good.”
Cheongmyeong nodded.
With this, the entire force of the existing Cheonwoomaeng was gathered here.
‘Looking at it all, it really isn’t a joke.’
From Hwasan to Danga Namgung and Green Forest to Binggung and Yasugung.
As many as six of the sects that rule the world are gathered here. Considering that the nine factions were treated as the rulers of only ten clans, this is absolutely a considerable amount of power.
‘But it’s still not enough….’
Wow. Wow.
Cheongmyeong bent his neck left and right.
“Well, that’s something you just have to fill in from now on.”
It’s not that difficult. Shouldn’t we grow them just like volcanoes grow? Of course, since there is no time to raise them leisurely, it will be a bit extreme and it will be painful for those who are affected, but…
“You have to understand that they are all telling you to do well. “If they don’t understand, what can they do?”
“huh?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Cheongmyeong giggled as if he was happy just thinking about it.
He looked somewhat like a child who had acquired a fun toy, which made me feel uneasy.
