Episode 716. What happened to Jincheon Gwangmyeong?
early July.
Macheon’s army, which had been advancing westwards at a breakneck pace, suddenly calmed down.
Mother Nature, Baekri, blocked their way.
Demons who have reached the transcendental state can somehow cross Baekriha, but a river that is 100 li (about 40 kilometers) is too much for demons and monsters.
However, it is not possible for only a small number of demons to cross the river and fight the clan.
In the end, the demons had to do something unexpected to cross the Baekri River.
It was to build ships for demons and monsters.
The demons captured the Broke dwarfs from the Heavenly Mountains and made them build boats.
When the news came out, the people west of Baekri-ha couldn’t help but be terrified.
It was obvious that if the monsters crossed Baekriha, the land to the west would be devastated like the east.
In the meantime, good news was delivered to the people of the Savior.
Heaven has stepped out to save the Savior!
The advance party of the celestial world is on its way to Okcheon Port to meet the Grand Master!
I don’t know whose mouth it came from, but such rumors spread to the west of Baekri-ha.
Those who were trembling with anxiety hoped that the heavenly world and the religious world would work together to overcome this difficult situation.
Hansanju.
Dobuseong Seokpo.
A group of people entered Seokpo, a port city developed along the Muryangha River.
They were one foot (30 cm) taller than the average human height, and their skin was as immaculate as white jade.
Tired of the heat, they went into a teahouse on a hill overlooking the harbor and ordered iced tea.
The Elyos were quiet, whether it was because of the fatigue from the long journey or because they were naturally silent.
Occasionally, there was only the sound of ‘gulp gulp’ and passing iced tea over the neck.
The teahouse clerks couldn’t even breathe loudly at the silence of the seemingly extraordinary customers.
It’s when the clerks roll their eyes.
A middle-aged man with a solid build spoke to a woman who appeared to be in her early twenties.
That was the first conversation we had outside of ordering iced tea.
“Belle, do you think Jin-Cheon Gwangmyeong has changed his mind?”
Fatir, the male commander who leads the advance party, looked at the woman with complicated eyes.
Gwangmyeong Jincheon informed me not long ago that he would withdraw from negotiations between the Elyos and the sect.
It was like saying that he would no longer help the Elyos.
It was a difficult situation for the Elyos, who were trying to negotiate with the Gwangmyeongjinjeon.
The woman called Belle shook her head.
“No, it won’t be.”
Bell Sonia thought that Gwangmyeong Jincheon, the supreme god, was like that for a different reason.
Of course, you need to quickly find out what the reason is.
Only then can the negotiations with the Grand Master of the clan gate be led in the desired direction.
The captain of the bodyguard, Centurion Magnus, who was sitting next to her, interrupted.
“I’ll do my best on my own, but you’d better consider the worst. Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim is from the Elyos, but he cannot be said to be an Elyos.”
In fact, he thought that Gwangmyeongjincheon might have changed his mind like the commander Patir.
Other than that, I couldn’t think of a reason for Gwangmyeong Jincheon to suddenly withdraw.
Bellsonia disagreed with him.
“Even after ascending to the divine throne, Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim lived in the manner of an Elyos. So I think you are still on the side of the Elyos.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Magnus was no longer stubborn.
If Bellsonia, the most gifted woman of the Elyos, said that, then that would be true.
Bellsonia changed the topic with a smile when Magnus accepted it.
“More than that, I think there is too little information about the person called Daejongsa. I wish I knew more before arriving at Okcheon Port.”
Centurion Magnus nodded with a trembling face.
At a time like this, I need Gwangmyeong Jincheon’s advice, but I feel resentful because he disappeared without leaving a message.
Suddenly, the commander-in-chief Fatir muttered to himself.
“Even Soyojong says they don’t know about the history of Grandmaster Won…. Can you tell if he did it on purpose or because he really didn’t know?”
Centurion Magnus also helped.
“you’re right. I also tried to find out, but all of them said they didn’t know. It’s not like the great master fell from the sky, so how could that be?”
Then Bellsonia smiled and said.
“Maybe he really fell from the sky. Think about the age of the Great Master and the time of initiation. That’s not possible.”
Laughter is contagious.
The commander Fatir and the centurion Magnus laughed in unison.
This genius lady sometimes makes people laugh with outlandish sounds.
After a while, an Elyos who had gone to buy tickets for a boat joined the teahouse belatedly.
The Elyos left the teahouse in time for the departure.
An exclamation flowed from Bellsonia’s lips when she saw the huge wooden ship docked in the harbor.
“and! It is really big.”
Then, the commander-in-chief Fatir concealed his identity.
“I don’t know about other places, but I have to take a boat of that size from Guju to Muryangha and Baekri. If you encounter monsters in the middle of the river, the small boat will capsize right away.”
“I think there are many mystical places in Kuju.”
“I would faint if I saw Cheon Joong-hyeop. Do you know the reason why demons in Macheon do not cross over to the Infinite River?”
“I heard that there is a huge vortex at the point where Muryangha and Baekriha meet?”
“Do you know where there is only a vortex? If you look at the center of the vortex, you won’t be able to sleep because you’re curious.”
“why? What is in the center?”
“There is something very surprising.”
When the centurion continued to hesitate, the centurion Magnus spoke instead.
“At the center of the vortex there is a huge hole about a hundred sheets (about 300 meters) wide. Water is sucked into the hole and a vortex is formed. You will be very curious to see where that much water goes.”
“really?”
Bellsonia’s eyes widened.
I know there are many mysterious places in Kuju, but there are such holes!
It was thrilling just to hear it.
“It is a place where Baekriha and Muryangha meet, but you cannot pass if you do not know the waterway. If a ship like that is sucked into the vortex, it will helplessly fall into the hole.”
“Awesome. I heard that because of the vortex in the center where the two rivers intersect, only boats that know the waterways of Cheonjunghyeop can navigate. Can you see the hole before going back to heaven?”
Bellsonia turned her gaze to Patir, the commander.
This is because it depends on the will of the leader.
The commander-in-chief Patir shook his head.
“If a battle line is formed around Baekriha as you planned, there will be a day when we will go to Cheonjunghyeop.”
“It is not if it is formed, but it must be blocked under Baekri unconditionally. If the monsters cross Baekriha, the whole Savior will be caught up in a war.”
“Are you saying that we have to end it with a water fight?”
“that’s right. You can’t let the monsters cross Baekriha. never. Please make that point known to the Grand Master as well. You shouldn’t let the monsters cross the Baekri River.”
“hmm! You must have a lot of stomach. I don’t know if a ship of that size will remain in Okcheon Port.”
“If you don’t have it, you have to requisition it from afar. If Baekri-ha is pierced anyway, they will all die.”
“i get it. Let’s talk about that part again when we meet with Grand Master.”
Like the Elyos who came to support the war, the story moved on to the tactical part.
After a while, the Elyos rode on a huge wooden boat with a length of 100 pieces (about 300 meters).
Bell Sonia went around and inspected the wooden ship in preparation for a water battle.
***
After three days.
Samchaeseong Okcheon Port.
Twenty Elyos led by Captain Patir finally arrived at Okcheon Port.
Being taller than a human, he is an Elyos that stands out everywhere.
Their movements were soon conveyed to the Grand Master Yeonjeokha in the Three Hallucinations.
As soon as they joined, they sent a grain milling union to the port to bring the Elyos.
Triangular audience.
The Gokbunjo union, which returned with the Elyos, shouted as they bent their backs toward the audience.
“Master Grand Master, the great leader of the Savior! The heavenly messengers are requesting to see Grand Master.”
It was an unfamiliar title, but the Gokbunjo union had a casual face.
After Gwangmyeong-Jincheon lost to Yeon Jeok-Ha, the Gokbunjo union was ready to give Daejongsa his liver and gallstones away.
Considering what he had done in the past, it wasn’t something he couldn’t understand, so the people around him pretended not to see it.
It is the Elyos who are really confused.
To them, who knew the pride of the clan, the Gokbunjo union’s words and actions were quite shocking.
Surprisingly, the leader of the group, Patir, introduced himself.
“I am the deputy commander of the eastern army of the Expeditionary Force as Fatir, the commander of the Celestial Empire. You may have heard of it through Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim, but I came to help the Savior who is in crisis in Louran.”
Prompted by the action of the grain mill union, Fatir, the commander, introduced himself at length.
A resonant voice came from inside the auditorium.
“When you say Whoran, you mean eggs? Come upstairs.”
After the Grand Master gave permission, the grain mill union pointed to the audience with a solemn face.
While the Elyos tilted their heads at the exaggerated behavior of the Gokbunjo union, they went up to the auditorium.
A youthful young man with a youthful face was sitting alone at the head of the audience, consonant with himself.
The commander Fatir looked at the young man with strange eyes.
He must have been the grand master of the clan, but he went drinking in broad daylight?
The demons are still wandering around the eastern side of Baekriha, so it’s not something they can’t understand.
After a long war, there are times when you need a drink.
However, when the messengers of heaven come, it is normal to clean them up and greet them with all manners.
However, he was welcoming the heavenly messenger with his disheveled appearance.
If the rather naive commander-in-chief had seen it, he would have pulled out his sword right away.
The commander, Patir, suppressed his uncomfortable feelings and introduced himself once again.
“I am Fatir, the deputy commander of the Eastern Army of the Hum Expeditionary Force.”
Yeonjeokha sat down and pointed at an empty seat.
“The Grand Master is in a relationship. Please sit down. If I had known you were coming today, I would have cleaned it up. I didn’t know because Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim suddenly disappeared.”
Captain Patir gestured to Bellsonia and Centurion Magnus to sit down.
Eventually, when Magnus, the centurion of Fatir Belsonia, the commander, sat down, the other Elyos accompanying him quietly retreated to the back of the guest room.
An awkward silence enveloped the auditorium.
The commander-in-chief Fatir did not like this atmosphere, but he introduced his companions.
“The lady sitting next to me is Belsonia, the general staff of the Elyos. Next to him is the captain of the bodyguard, Centurion Magnus.”
“This is Bellsonia.”
“This is Magnus.”
Bellsonia and Magnus bowed briefly and dryly.
The expressions of the two were more firm than those of Patir, the commander who was introducing them.
It is true that the position of the Grand Master of the clan is high, but even so, he is only a human being.
To the Elyos, humans are imprinted as inferior beings, whether they are ordinary people or disciples of religious sects.
How could such a human behave so insolently in front of the Elyos, who are the saviors!
Unlike the experienced Cheonbujang, the two high-blooded Elyos did not hide their uncomfortable feelings.
But a ball is a ball and life is buying.
Bellsonia, who suppressed her unpleasant feelings with her cool-headed reason, broke her silence.
“By the way, what happened to Gwangmyeong Jincheon-nim?”
