Episode 31
I didn’t know that there was another huge bounty of 200 gold coins.
In fact, there was only one reason for such a large bounty.
Even though the Murim Alliance made several efforts, they were unable to properly eradicate them.
If they wanted to catch the tail, they cut it off. If they wanted to catch the body, they assassinated or committed suicide so that it did not reach the head.
Since so much time had passed, the bounty was bound to increase.
By eliminating such a black bandit, the Murim Alliance had less to worry about and was able to hand over 200 nyang of gold without any hesitation.
“A risk! There’s a car over there…”
“Ah! I’ll ride. “Please sit down.”
Namgung Sohye hurriedly got up from her seat and got into the car at the words of Milewoong. It didn’t have a very nice scent, so it felt like cheap tea, but whatever.
First of all, the most important thing is to win their favor.
‘But… how do you drive a car?’
I sometimes saw what the maids did from the side. First, heat the water and then put the tea leaves into the teacup. After some time had passed, I put it away.
“But I was wondering earlier, who is So Hyeop?”
Maiung asked if Dan Woo-hyeon’s presence at that time was very annoying. I don’t talk like Nam Gung So-hye, nor do I look at things.
It was extremely uncomfortable because I was just listening quietly from the side and I couldn’t even see any changes in facial expressions.
‘Is it Namgung Soje’s bodyguard?’
Those who called themselves Honam Ogeom thought so. It’s natural to provide escort to a woman of high stature.
“It’s called Danwoohyeon… Are you Honam Ogeom…?”
“Hmm! exactly.”
The Honam Ogeom are people who question whether they can properly defeat even the passing Parakhos.
His expression and actions were so confident that if he didn’t know the truth, he would have been fooled.
“I see, but how did the Lord of the Black Blades Association win?”
“Oh, I was curious about that too. Heukdo Hoeju is a master who has reached the peak, so it must have been fierce, right?”
Namgung Sohye asked as she brought the car. Mi-Woong frowned, but smiled boldly and looked at Namgung So-hye and Dan Woo-hyeon.
“His strength was unexpected. If the five of us hadn’t worked together properly, we might have lost. “I was lucky.”
Namgung Sohye let out a small exclamation at the words full of pride. Clearly, the fight between them and the Black Swordsman was a fierce battle that would leave a lasting mark on the history of martial arts.
It’s really unfortunate that I can’t be there with you.
Since it was a fight between experts, just watching it would have been enough to study.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon muttered.
“That’s strange. If he had the level of strength he showed just a moment ago, he would have easily chewed through the black swordfish sashimi. But it’s a classic…?”
“Huh
?”
“omg!”
Namgung Sohye suddenly came to her senses. Now that I think about it, it is no exaggeration to say that the tension he showed just a moment ago was comparable to that of the elder from Nine Files.
With such deep inner strength, it goes without saying that he was strong in martial arts, and it made no sense that he could not avoid a struggle against the leader of the Black Sword Society.
“I let my guard down. “I thought he was weaker than me, but it turns out he’s much better than rumored.”
“That’s right. “My older brother is a bit careless.”
“…Yes?” Namgung Sohye nodded in understanding with a shocked expression. The reason even highly skilled experts sometimes lose to weaker players is because they are confident that they are stronger than their opponents.
Since it happens so often, I thought they might have done the same. With that in mind, I quickly poured some tea into the teacup in front of me.
At that moment, he was startled by a hand that sneaked in, so he dodged it and gave him a round look. Weren’t you trying to touch your hand just now?
“Are you so offended? “I was just trying to get a feel for the pulse.”
“A falcon?”
“Yes, it seems to me that your airways are somewhat blocked and progress is a bit slow. So I wanted to check it out, but I didn’t realize it was a woman. “I’m sorry.”
“Oh no. “Where are the men and women from the moment they pick up the sword?”
Looking at Namgoong Sohye, who was smiling awkwardly, Mi-Woong raised his teacup. This is to relieve this awkwardness and sore throat.
And the moment you pass the teacup.
Jureuk-
“Keek!”
The tea that went into my mouth came out again.
Bitter.
It was even hot. The heat soared to the point that it seemed like the roof of his mouth had been burned, so he fell face down on the table and stamped his feet.
I felt that much heat.
“Are you okay? “It doesn’t taste good?”
“Wow! Sojeo….”
Mile Woong quickly gritted his teeth. Although it was a cheap tea, it wasn’t this bad. Moreover, it was too hot for humans to eat.
‘I forgive you because you’re pretty.’
The reason I couldn’t scream even though I was gritting my teeth was because of her beauty, but more than that, it was because I was afraid that she would really use her hands.
“The tea is now ready, so why not pour yourself a glass of wine?”
” yes’?”
Milwoong turned his head and looked at the youngest. He hurried into the kitchen and soon returned with a small glass and bottle.
They put them down in front of me one by one and pushed the bottles towards Namgung So-hye.
“What are you doing? “Are you sure you can’t pour a drink for us who solved the problem of the Murim Alliance?”
“…haha.”
Quick!
Namgung Sohye gritted her teeth.
“Why are there all these people?!” On the way back to the manor.
Namgung Sohye violently swung her feet, unable to control her rising anger. Momentary puff! With a harsh sound, the kicked rocks were scattered into pieces.
“You seem very angry.”
“You call that a horse? “If it weren’t for the recruiter who came down from the team, he would have been stabbed right away.” He huffed harshly and vented his anger on the ground.
Just thinking about it made me throw a tantrum.
‘What kind of courtesan do you think someone is? ‘What are you drinking?’
If it were her usual self, she might have punched her in the face right away.
“They were interesting people. If you stop, it will be helpful to the Murim Alliance.”
“…Yes, that is true.”
Dan Woo-hyeon sneered. I couldn’t help but imagine what would happen if such fraudsters entered a place called Murimmaeng.
It will probably be a difficult situation to see with both eyes open.
It’s fun just to think about it.
Dan Woo-hyeon wanted to support them whenever possible.
It may be a waste of two hundred gold coins, but isn’t this something you can’t see even if you pay money?
The sight of Namgoong So-hye enduring anger is also quite interesting.
“Then are you leaving early tomorrow morning?”
“…is it so.”
Namgung Sohye let out a small sigh and nodded. Since Honam Ogeom said he would accompany the Murim Alliance, there was no need to remain here anymore.
I take them back to Hanam early in the morning.
Now, I’m saying goodbye to the boring Akyang.
While I was thinking about that, I arrived at the manor before I knew it. The familiarity of opening the front door and going inside was now goodbye.
“Take it.”
Dan Woohyun threw something.
Although I was surprised, I naturally took it and found that it contained about ten silver coins.
Namgung So-hye just looked at Eun-ja.
This is a fairly large amount for only a few days of work.
You mean 10 cats that I didn’t even expect?
I slowly raised my head and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon’s face.
His face looked somewhat different today.
“Huh…”
“I don’t like it.”
Namgung So-hye, who was ignored before she could even finish speaking, lowered her head. Without realizing it, a small smile appeared on her lips.
“Phoenix Danjura?”
A guest house in Agyang.
A middle-aged man staying there gazed at his subordinates. In fact, he was not the kind of person who would do something like this.
He was a man of considerable fame in Sapa and was ranked 50th in the Imperial Palace.
As a master who had reached the peak, he was by no means a talent worthy of being put to work looking for people. But why is he here?
It was simple entertainment.
“Who is that child meeting?”
“They are the Honam Ogeom.”
“This is my first time hearing it.”
“So do we.”
Madokjin looked down at his subordinate with a crooked expression. Then, with a light snap of the finger, boom! A harsh sound was heard.
Quadadadang-!
“Wow!”
“Am I in any better position to play with words with you?”
“Ugh… I’m… sorry…” Suha rubbed his head and bowed his head again.
I hid my feelings by lamenting that I had a lord who could not tell jokes.
“Honam Ogeom…. There is a high possibility that they are the ones who attacked the Black City.” Suha had no answer.
I thought I should keep my mouth shut now that I had been beaten for the words I had uttered a moment ago.
At that moment, pop! With the sound, the man’s body came to mind once again.
Quadadadang-!
“Wow…!”
“You rotten bastard, are your master’s words so sweet? Chew it?”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Suha hurriedly took his stance again and prostrated himself. I was feeling extreme pain where I was hit, but I shouldn’t show it.
Because you will get beaten up more for no reason.
“You can judge that they are the ones who committed the black attack, right?”
Suha quickly answered the question.
I didn’t make a mistake this time.
“I think so.”
“But I haven’t heard of it… It is said that the Black Sword Society’s leader is at the peak of its peak, but it still doesn’t change that he is an outstanding person… I guess he is a reclusive expert…” “I think so.
”
The moment you speak out.
Plop!
“Aaaah!”
The man’s body was pinned against the wall by another strong earth wind. The force was so strong that it made me lose my mind, so I slid down the wall and collapsed.
“How dare you open your mouth without even asking?”
‘whatever!?’
Suha really wanted to cry.
That damn whim doesn’t change over time. If you don’t answer, you’ll be beaten for not doing it, and if you answer, you’ll be beaten for doing it.
It would be okay if this happened occasionally, but since the same thing happened two or three times a day, the subordinate just wanted to die.
How did I end up serving a guy like that?
‘Die you crazy bastard!’ The foundation of the Safa people was absolute loyalty to those of higher rank.
Although it was not an offering to an absolute being like the Demonic Cult, it was no exaggeration to say that its trust and loyalty to its lord were as great as any of the three powers.
Nevertheless, the man hoped that Madok-jin would die.
That’s how much I feel sick of this life.
‘If I could have chosen my lord, I
wouldn’t have chosen you.’
Even though the man was crying, he quickly took his stance and bowed down. Because I had suffered significant internal injuries, it was difficult to move, but if I didn’t do this, I would be scolded even more.
At that time, Madokjin’s voice was heard.
“Tsk, it doesn’t matter either way. All you have to do is check it with your own eyes. Chase after them. “I need to see with my own eyes just how great the expert who destroyed the Black Sword Society is.”
“Jonmyeong!”
The man, or rather Kwon Moo-jin, finished answering and quickly disappeared from the spot.
He spits without being seen by others.
