Episode 442
Sadohak was dazed, as if he had been greatly shocked.
I didn’t eat or anything, just stared at the sky and did nothing. Everyone looked worried at the sight of him not even wanting to drink alcohol, let alone play Baduk, which he loved.
” Would it be okay?”
Dansomi put her hand on her cheek and sighed.
I was worried that something might go wrong, so for some reason I was worried.
This was the same for Namgung-cheon, who had always had a close relationship with Apostolic Studies, but he felt like something big would happen if he left it that way.
“It’ll be okay.”
But Dan Woo-hyeon’s thoughts seem to be completely different.
He has a nonchalant expression.
No matter what form Sadohak was in, and even though he felt that his behavior itself was unusual, he remained calm and leisurely, preventing anyone from thinking that something had happened.
In some ways, it was a situation that could be considered cruel or cold-hearted, but Dan Woo-hyeon also seemed to understand the state of Apostolic Studies in his own way.
“It’s simply a matter of energy and blood becoming intertwined.”
“Then isn’t it a bigger problem?”
Namgungcheon shouted in surprise.
The fact that energy and blood are intertwined could easily lead to a serious situation.
Does that still make you laugh?
Nangong Cheon made a somewhat puzzled expression.
“Thank goodness you don’t have anything to worry about…”
“Haha, you don’t look like someone who can’t get through this much. “Everyone experiences this at least once, so don’t worry about it.”
“Nobu… I’ve never experienced this before…”
Nam Gung-cheon looked at Dan Yu-hyeon with a strange expression.
Even though he had been practicing martial arts for a long time, he had never experienced anything like that. Sadohak’s behavior seemed like a louse with a poisonous poison, and it was fatal for the warrior.
No one would want to go through that.
“I’ll be back soon, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Huh…”
M’ *
Dan Woo-hyeon did not give Nam Gung-cheon an answer.
I just smiled once and answered.
Namgung-cheon, who did not know the meaning, made a puzzled expression, but since no one could draw out the answer that Dan Woo-hyeon had, the question remained only a question.
“So are you going to get better soon?”
“Of course.”
Suddenly Dansomi asked.
His expression was full of worry about Apostolic Studies, but
he sighed as if he was relieved at the words Dan Woo-hyeon said.
Eventually, he quickly approached Sadohak’s side.
Before I knew it, I plopped down next to him and held his hand.
As she leaned her small head on his shoulder and hummed a tune, they got along so well that anyone would think they were a grandfather and granddaughter.
Everyone who was watching laughed at the atmosphere and hum. Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression also changed softly.
“Your expression has softened a lot.” At that time, Namgung So-hye, who had been quietly observing Dan Woo-hyeon, opened her mouth. If you think back to when you first saw it, its current appearance has changed to the extent that it is not strange to be shocked.
I thought that people like this could change.
“is it?”
In fact, Dan Woo-hyeon himself may not have been aware of the change in himself, but he just tilted his head with an expression of surprise.
To him, the word change does not make much sense.
“Ac!”
At that time, the door opened with a squeak and Jang Sam-tae came inside. He grumbled while holding a bag full of food in his hands as he wondered what had happened.
“What kind of guy talks so much?”
Jang Sam-tae frowned as he put aside the things he bought from Agyang. He seemed to be in quite a bad mood, so it seemed like something was going on down there.
“What are you mumbling about again?”
Namgung-cheon frowned, as if that sight wasn’t good.
No one looked kindly on Jang Sam-tae’s actions, as he poured cold water on those who were quite at peace while listening to Dan So-mi’s hum.
Sharp gazes were drawn from all over.
Only then did Jang Sam-tae, who recognized the situation, come to Dan Woo-hyeon’s side with a bright smile.
“No, Lord Jang. Didn’t this Samtae go to Aeyang for Lord Jang?”
“however?”
Rather than it being for Dan Woo-hyeon, it was just something I bought because I ran out of cold food. He flattered Dan Woo-hyeon by saying that he was standing up for him and all that, and everyone snorted as if he was astonished.
Jang Sam-tae frowned as he watched these people, but he couldn’t bring himself to shout, ‘Big!’ He cleared his voice.
“I went out to that street and wasn’t it crowded with people?”
“Isn’t this a common occurrence?”
“That’s right, but… there were more today than usual.”
It was natural that many people would gather on that street. Akyang was originally crowded with people due to the Dongdong Lake, so it was like a swarm of ants.
“Because?”
“I was wondering what was going on, so I looked around and saw that a nobleman was talking strangely and there were people arguing. Thanks to this, even passers-by stopped and watched… I wondered how hard it was to buy groceries…” “
Hehe, was the Hosaga’s eloquence really that good?”
Namgungcheon’s eyes sparkled.
Many of the things that luxury people talk about are exaggerated. But sometimes he told the truth and taught people things they didn’t know.
Seeing as there were so many people gathered, it seemed like there was quite an interesting story going on.
“Oh, why isn’t there that?”
“that?”
“That part… North Sea?”
“You mean Bingungung?”
“Yes, that place was destroyed. But don’t you say that not a single horse survived and the perennial ice well that Bingung had hidden for a long time has disappeared?”
“……i”
“Hmm?”
“Huh…”
“How can you believe that a block of ice can live for 10,000 years? There are so many people who believe and talk about it that I got confused as I passed by.”
One by one, people responded.
It was a bit too much to think that it was simply the words of a nobleman. The destruction of the North Sea Ice Palace in the world is equivalent to the story of the collapse of the Murim Alliance.
If it were true, it would never be a story to laugh at.
“Stop talking nonsense! There is no way the North Sea Ice Palace will collapse easily.”
Jeok Museong shouted with a dumbfounded expression.
Because even if he thought about it, it was something that could never have happened. Murimmaeng was originally located in the central region. However, the North Sea Ice Palace is an extremely cold land, and even the martial arts people of the central plains cannot demonstrate their proper power in that land.
Also, from the perspective of the Red Army, who had experienced first-hand how great their power was, the story about the place being destroyed seemed like a joke.
“No… I heard Hosaga said that? “It’s not me!”
Jang Sam-tae said, waving his hand towards Jeok Museong who was furious. I cringed without realizing it because he seemed like he was going to grab me by the collar at any moment.
“Hehe, but it’s not a story that can be ignored…”
Namgung-cheon glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression.
Although it was not revealed, Dan Woo-hyeon seemed to be thinking about something.
Eventually, Dan Woo-hyeon raised his head and opened his mouth towards Jang Sam-tae.
“Samtae.”
“Yes, I will come back.” Jang Sam-tae, who had already guessed what Dan Woo-hyeon was going to say, casually turned his back and disappeared.
“You’ve become really quick-witted.”
Kwon Moo-jin looked at Jang Sam-tae and stuck out his tongue.
Gumuak was breaking into a cold sweat for the first time in a long time.
He came here confident that he had already adapted to the place called Honam Danga, but the moment he saw the faces in front of him, his spine felt numb and his body trembled.
‘Why are those people here again?!’
The first thing that caught my eye was none other than Mu Cheonpung.
He was captured due to a confrontation with Sadohak, one of the five emperors, and was imprisoned in the imperial prison for a long time before disappearing.
Some say he turned into a ghost and someone took his body to turn him into a ghost, but how amazing would it be to see him alive and well right before my eyes?
But what was even more surprising was something else.
A person wearing black clothing.
His face is pale and his eyes are still fierce.
There was a time when, while investigating a murder case, I had the misfortune of offending them and half of Haomun was blown away. I still haven’t forgotten the look in Salhwang Bicheon Woong’s eyes that I saw back then, but now that I’m actually seeing him right in front of me, it’s hard not to get tired of it right away.
Gumuak trembled and lowered his head.
It felt more like a pincushion today.
“Why did you call me…?”
“Do you know what’s going on in the streets of Ayang?”
“Oh, I know. “I’m talking about the North Sea Ice Palace and whatnot.”
Gu Muak nodded.
Because of the Honam Danga, he always stays in Agyang. Sometimes he goes around hiding his identity, like a beggar, sometimes like a bachelor, or like a martial artist.
Since I naturally kept in my head the stories that came from Agyang, I was also well aware of what Hosa was talking about.
Only then did Gu Muak realize why Dan Woohyeon had called him.
“Do you know anything about it?” At the sound of Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice, the eyes of the four people called Oh Hwang glowed fiercely. Standing next to Dan Woo-hyeon, it felt like he could crush Taesan with just his presence.
Gumuak swallowed dry saliva and took a deep breath.
“Well… I mean…”
“I asked if you knew anything.”
“That’s right… isn’t it a cold place?”
“It’s natural because it’s the North Sea.”
I spoke with difficulty and closed my eyes tightly.
It’s really not wrong.
The North Sea is the land of extreme extremes. Even those who were born and raised there may not know, but it is a place so cold that it is impossible for most people to even set foot on it.
“So… our children… are not going.”
“……2”
“What did you say?”
“Well… I mean… we haven’t been able to get any information about the North Sea!” Gumuak risked his life and opened his mouth.
The fact that the Haomen group cannot enter means that accurate information cannot be obtained. Even the merchants who go there rarely enter the land where the North Sea Ice Palace is located, so there is no way to know whether it is ruined, alive, or if something has happened.
Even so, the Beihai Ice Palace is a place as closed as the Demonic Bridge, so it is not easy to check information. If it is destroyed and no one can talk, it is natural that no one knows anything.
“So you don’t know whether what the wealthy man said is a lie or the truth?”
“Yes that’s right. “Just…”
“Just?”
“Recently, it is said that the Cheondohoe is forming a contingent to check the condition of the North Sea Ice Palace. “This also seems to be the case in Sapa, so it seems like something is happening there.”
I put into words what little information I knew.
If he had not been able to answer even this, he was anxious that Bicheonwoong’s sword might have grazed his neck.
Gumuak, who swallowed dry saliva, glanced up, raised his dog, and looked at Dan Woohyeon and Bicheonwoong.
When I met the indifferent gaze of the two people, I unconsciously lowered my head.
‘Don’t look at me!’
Would it be this scary just to look into people’s eyes?
Gumuak had to break out in a cold sweat for the first time in a long time.
