Episode 574
Kung!
Beep!
Hwanggu and Noejin were already in an uproar, asking why they didn’t give it to them.
In a hurry, Jin Cheon-hee handed each of them one by one, heated the fish shells with a hot pot, and placed them in the middle of the table, using a piece of paper as a plate.
Yeo Ha-ryun took a bite due to the fragrant aroma.
Crispy-
“It’s delicious.”
“huh. right? Eat a lot. “You seem to have lost more weight.”
“It’s my mood. brother. “Because my body got bigger.”
“no. you were thin This is all because they eat things like Byeokgokdan. “Eat more.”
Yeo Ha-ryun didn’t try to retort, but continued to eat the snacks his older brother gave him.
It was delicious.
“Whatever. I know you want peace, but there’s nothing I can do to help. Cheolmubaek has already taken care of everything. The second mission given to me was actually a formality. There is no information provided properly. sorry.”
“There is nothing we can do because you have many enemies within the Demonic Cult.”
He held back twice and prevented the murder, but that only alleviated the blood circulation of the Supreme Heavenly Demon a little.
In the first place, I don’t think that this guy, who has different sensibilities from humans, will suddenly become good at politics within the Demonic Cult.
No matter how much Ilkana becomes his lieutenant, Yeo Ha-ryun is still Yeo Ha-ryun.
Aren’t martial arts protagonists originally perceived as alien beings by those around them?
“So, did you find the first mission, the blood mission?”
“A large number of blood missionaries were discovered within the Demonic Cult. “The Heavenly Demon himself killed him.”
Oh, it looks like you did quite well.
She is a person who lives regardless of good and evil, but she does not tolerate traitors.
“But I didn’t know you would use your own hands.”
Of course, in the Supreme Heavenly Demon, there was content about blood missionaries causing trouble within the demonic religion.
That’s the story of when Cheonma entered the closed hall preparing for ascension.
Those who will stand up only after the Heavenly Demon has finished everything and started preparations have now been discovered?
‘Ha ha ha ha ha. Is this… after all due to my influence? Ilkana is also alive…’
Did the butterfly effect go that way?
Yeo Ha-ryun continued.
“And this is the place I found while chasing down the blood missionary. “There are quite a few blood missionaries hiding here.”
“So did you find it?”
Whoop-
“I haven’t found it yet…”
Yeo Ha-ryun answered with a sad expression.
“If it’s hard to find the tail, it means it’s hidden deep, and it also means it’s still safe here. “Don’t worry too much.”
“brother. “There’s nothing to comfort you too much.”
“It’s not comfort. In a way, I came here early before it got any bigger.”
“Is that your sense as a tactician? Or is it just your brother’s strange prediction?”
At those words, Jin Cheon-hee looked at Yeo Ha-ryun with slightly surprised eyes.
‘As expected of a protagonist, he has good senses.’
Even so, this is the world of the Supreme Heavenly Demon, and I was a reader, but I suddenly entered from outside.
And in the novel I read, you were the main character.
How can I tell you that this world revolves around you?
Jin Cheon-hee deliberately changed the topic.
“So, how do you find a blood mission?”
“Blood missionaries are fanatics who worship blood missionaries. All you have to do is find the blood vessel.”
Jin Cheon-hee wondered with a slightly exaggerated expression.
“Hoo? Blood pioneer. So how do you find it?”
“This guy will find it.”
When Yeo Ha-ryun snapped her fingers, something appeared in the corner of the room.
Meow-
It was a small cat.
It’s also a pitch-black cat from head to toe.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Is it a spirit creature?”
“Well, you guessed it right. “It’s a black snow cat.”
Wow!
Hwanggu barked lowly.
‘I couldn’t smell this guy’s black cat.’
This is Hwang-gu, who has been losing face for one reason or another these days.
This may mean that the black snow cat is not an ordinary spirit, but Hwanggu still seems to have hurt his pride.
Jin Cheon-hee stroked Hwang-gu’s head.
Black snow cat.
One of the most important spiritual creatures within the Demonic Cult.
It also appeared in the Supreme Heavenly Demon.
It is Yeo Ha-ryun’s pet and is used to track enemies.
Aeok?
The black snow cat walked over and nuzzled its cheek against Jin Tianxi’s fingers.
Yeo Ha-ryun said.
“It’s fascinating. “He doesn’t follow anyone but me.”
“I think it’s because it smells delicious.”
Wow!
Beep!
In fact, Hwang-gu and Noe-jin said something to each other as if they were not happy about the appearance of the black snow cat.
“Do you want to eat beef jerky too? “I grilled it with a hot pot.”
As I said that and gave him one, he swallowed it in an instant.
Cry!
Beep beep!
They seem to be even more dissatisfied with the distribution of beef jerky.
‘oh my. Please take a look. ‘You guys feed me delicious food every day, right?’
They were two very greedy spirits.
Jin Cheon-hee gave the beef jerky to the black snow cat and continued talking.
“How is the North Sea Ice Palace these days?”
“There is an epidemic. Of course, there are not many people who have contracted it to say it has spread yet, and the way it spreads is strange enough to call it an epidemic.”
Epidemic?
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widen slightly.
Yeo Ha-ryun continued speaking casually.
“Because there are not many patients yet, the North Sea Ice Palace is not taking it seriously. “We are also coping.”
“What is the name of the disease?”
Yeo Ha-ryun shrugged her shoulders at Jin Cheon-hee’s words.
“I don’t know. “People here call it ‘confusion fever.’”
“Confusion fever. “What are the symptoms?”
Yeo Ha-ryun shrugged at those words.
“I don’t know that far either. “I heard they saved it at the treatment center, so why not go there?”
“thank you.”
Jin Cheon-hee suddenly stood up.
Just like that, Jin Cheon-hee opened the door to go out. Then, after thinking for a bit, he looked up at the ceiling and said hello to someone.
“Ilkana, it’s been a while. “I thought I wouldn’t say hello to you because I thought you were on a mission, but it’s been a while.”
Then he seemed to be dumbfounded.
Someone wearing a mask came down.
“As expected, you noticed. “Brother.”
“Hwanggu noticed that too.”
Sniff!
Ilkana grumbled.
“Are you saying that the black snow cat is better at hiding than me? “Oh, my pride is a little hurt.”
“That won’t happen. “Wow!”
He then took out something black from the cabinet.
It was something called chocolate on Earth.
“Take it when you run out of sugar. “It is difficult to supply sugar in this region.”
“Thank you.”
“Ha-Ryun. “You’re here so I guess you haven’t received it yet.”
“hmm?”
Jin Cheon-hee took a look at the snack box.
One last piece left.
What’s left after sending it to your loved ones.
It was something I saved and saved to eat when I was having a hard time.
“….”
The hesitation was short.
“eat this. you also.”
I walked back to the table and put down the chocolate.
“When we return to the Demonic Bridge, it will already have arrived, but it may be spoiled, so it would be better to eat it now.”
When you go to Magyo, you will have to say goodbye again, so even if you receive it when you arrive, it will be difficult to feel the taste.
Jin Cheonhee swallowed those words.
“What is this?”
“This is what I ate whenever I was low on sugar in my brother’s hometown.”
“It’s black.”
“delicious. “My sister Gongson-yeong ate one and kept trying to take it away, so I got scolded for defending her.”
Chocolate stamped with the alphabet.
I tried to recreate what I ate on Earth, but it just didn’t work out so I gave up.
Still, after sharing it with my loved ones, Moorim World began to feel like home.
It’s a bit embarrassing to write in the hope that it will hit the mark when sending a letter, but still.
…It must be the regret of the person who made it.
‘I hope you ate well. That chocolate. ‘It’s common on Earth, but now I’m the only one here.’
Jin Cheonhee grinned.
“hmm. After all, it’s best to write the last one like this!”
Did he feel his brother’s feelings?
Yeo Ha-ryun nodded with a serious expression.
“I will eat well. brother.”
“okay.”
After saying hello like that, he rushes off again as if trying to shake off the last bit of lingering regret.
Ilkana said after looking at Jin Cheon-hee’s back for a while.
“Brother, nothing has changed.”
“….”
At those words, Yeo Ha-ryun took a sip of his drink.
If you use inner energy again, your body will return to a state where it cannot sense taste.
So, you should feel as much of the sense of being alive at this moment as possible.
What sustains humanity is not morality, conscience, or sensitivity, but the trivial senses of eating, drinking, feeling pain, and smelling.
While Yeo Ha-ryun was quietly savoring the liquor his brother made, Ilkana asked.
“By the way, Brother Demon Cult. “Why didn’t you tell Big Brother that maybe there was a blood mission behind the epidemic?”
Yeo Ha-ryun answered those words.
“Whether I say it or not, my brother is going to go treat the patient. And it is my job as a younger brother to protect him. “If you treat a patient anyway, the blood missionaries will come out.”
“…okay.”
“There is no need to disturb the legislator with meaningless words.”
Ilkana thought about those words.
‘But wouldn’t Brother Jin Cheon-hee have already noticed?’
I understand why I didn’t say anything because I was worried about my brother voluntarily going to a dangerous place and having his limbs cut off by a knife.
But the problem is that the opponent is Jin Cheon-hee.
Even though she just looks pretty and fierce, doesn’t the heart she sometimes shows go far beyond that of ordinary people?
“Well, it would be nice if we could handle it on our own. Brother Maqiao.”
* * *
‘It’s too late to think that the epidemic has grown.’
In the past, there was an attempt by blood missionaries to cause an epidemic.
It was truly shocking to see that cholera was spreading by contaminating water sources.
Fortunately, at that time, it was not a disease unique to Moorim, so Jin Cheon-hee herself was able to respond.
‘What if it’s a disease unique to Moorim this time?’
Of course, I am even more worried because the patient I just treated was Ouyang Jeolmaek.
However, as a member of the council, he could not remain silent because he knew the future of the North Sea Ice Palace and the Aisha Kingdom.
Jin Cheon-hee, standing in front of the treatment center, covered her mouth and nose with a cloth and put on the gloves she had prepared in advance.
I didn’t forget to tell Hwanggu and Noejin to wait at a distance for a while.
This is because it is unknown whether the disease can also infect animals.
The poor people’s tents were pitched around the treatment center.
Someone hugs the child and kneels at his feet.
Jin Cheon-hee, who had now learned a lot of Aisha, understood what it meant.
“Please, Confucius. There is no food for my child to eat. Please give me something…”
Fortunately, I heard that thanks to the geothermal heat and rainfall in this area, there is no need to worry about food as people can farm or catch fish in the huge lake.
Of course, the farming can only be done with crops suited to the cold climate, and most of it comes from hunting and fishing, but there is still no shortage.
Even though I was wondering where all that food had gone, I moved my hand and quickly took out a small bamboo container from my travel bag and handed it to him.
Even though it was awkward, the word Aisha came out of Jin Cheonhee’s mouth.
“If you boil it like this and eat it, it will become porridge. “You can avoid starving to death right now.”
“Thank you. Thank you!”
This place, dominated by the North Sea Ice Palace, is a place where the gap between rich and poor is unprecedentedly large.
Compared to Hangzhou, Hangzhou still dispatched officials to manage taxes and military payments and provide relief when necessary.
And fortunately, the climate is not as harsh as here.
There are very few poor people here who have all five toes.
Although many ondols were imported, there are actually no ondols in Yeo Ha-ryun’s safe house.
I know where it is without even asking.
The uninhabited house of the North Sea Ice Palace.
It would be crushed into an unoccupied guest room in that majestic, huge house.
I even heard that they make a separate dog room bigger than a person’s house and put ondol there.
