Episode 294 I came because I had a mission.
I wondered if anything would happen since there was a Murim lord.
Actually, nothing much happened.
In the center, the four great evildoers fight as if expanding the circle.
On the left, the special forces of the Murim League were stirring, and on the right, the troops of the Legal Family were pressing.
It was quite a strange combination.
The martial arts exploits from their previous life and the martial arts men who were hunting them were joining forces. Actually, this scene is a picture I drew right after I returned. When I actually saw it with my own eyes, it was just a bit absurd.
What’s more, I felt strange because I had joined the forces that had been active in the dark throughout my past and present lives.
I suddenly looked at the dock. As soon as the two bandits who were running toward me saw me, they rolled on the ground, got up, turned and ran away furiously toward the downtown area.
I pulled out my sword at the fleeing guys.
“Where are you guys busy going?”
I could have killed him by spewing out sword energy right away, but I also needed someone to inform him of the tragedy at the dock, so I said goodbye with my sword in hand.
“Run faster. You enemies. faster. Those sneaky guys. Go and tell the story of the tragedy. Please report in detail that the people below you have died because of the idiotic leader. okay? “Aren’t you going to answer?”
After sheathing my sword, I looked at Chu Myeong-seosaeng.
“My hobby is talking to myself.”
“….”
Chu Myeong Seo-saeng asked me.
“Why don’t they kill them?”
“If you’re lucky, you should be saved. Actually, I only need to kill the apostle in East Lake. “I didn’t forget the purpose.”
As the fight ended in a landslide victory, Lim So-baek’s voice was heard.
“Light the lights.”
Did Maengju Lim set a separate number of people to light the fire? Long torches that looked like remodeled Hwaseopja were burning here and there.
I watched the reunion of Sword Demon and Lim Sobaek.
“What has the lord done to this point?”
Lim Sobaek answered while looking at the Sword Demon.
“I came because I had a mission. There are a lot of enemies in Dongho that we haven’t been able to eliminate, so it’s no wonder I’m coming. “Why are you here?”
“I came because I was curious about the guy who was threatening Hao Wen-ju.”
Lim Sobaek said this to Geomma.
“I am more glad to have met you than to have met Moonju at Dongho.”
As Lim So-baek smiled, Geomma also responded in a more relaxed tone than before.
“I’m not so happy because it reminds me of the mountain cabin.”
At the Sword Demon’s words, Lim Sobaek tilted his head and laughed.
“ha ha ha.”
It was an insignificant conversation, but since I knew the situation, I watched it as if I was watching an extremely interesting performance by myself.
Lim So-baek gave an order to sort out the situation.
“…There’s no need for a funeral for the innumerable, so gather them together and cremate them. Check the boat after daylight. “Poison may have been applied here and there, or planks may have been removed to allow it to slowly sink.”
“yes.”
“It looks like the fight will be long, so I contacted Gongsun and told him to quickly proceed with the agenda of establishing a Dongho branch. Appoint the Dongho branch manager temporarily and contact him to be dispatched here. From unit manager level to promotion. “Are there any injuries?”
As hands were raised here and there, Lim Sobaek nodded.
“The injured person returns and conveys my message. Tell them to make up for the missing people. “Please lead the injured person safely and return.”
Noh Kang-ho, who was behind me, attacked the leader.
“I follow your orders.”
“The special forces will not return for the time being, but will spread out across the East Lake and work to ensure that the original merchants are not inconvenienced. “If you have any meaningful reports, please forward them to me at any time.”
“yes.”
Lim So-baek, who had been looking around, looked at the group of Buddhist monks and then walked towards me with the Four Major Villains.
I spoke as if I was giving a lesson to Chu Myeong, a student next to me.
“The leader is coming. You’re walking like a tiger. Are you ready?”
“….”
“Still, the legal family did a good job. “For killing a horde of enemies.”
Chu Myeong Seo Saeng sighed.
A group of legalists also approached from a short distance and waited in awkward silence. Since the Murim lord had proven his identity through his skills, the tension was only felt among the legal family.
Lim So-baek asked when he arrived.
“Did you say you were a student of Chu Myeong?”
Chu Myeong, who thought he would soon be taken away, answered in a resigned tone.
“exactly.”
“The force you lead is an organization called Legalism?”
As Chu Myeong-seosaeng nodded, Lim So-baek asked me.
“Is it a personal grudge that has arisen here?”
“yes.”
Lim So-baek thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and lifted Chu Myeong-seosaeng up. He casually handed over the blood test I had taken and spoke to Chu Myeong.
“Hao Wenju has killed a lot of people recently. Is this the result of the grudge?”
“exactly.”
“I can’t make a hasty conclusion, but I’m sure he’s not the kind of person who kills people without any reason. If your acquaintance was the one who provided the cause, you would have nothing to say. “I won’t dig deep into the story, so please leave today.”
Chu Myeong-seosaeng looked at Lim So-baek with a startled expression.
Lim Sobaek asked again.
“why? Do you want to take a look at the Murim League?”
Chu Myeong-seo, who thought he had been caught without a move, answered with a puzzled expression.
“Can I go?”
Lim So-baek said with a calm expression.
“You probably don’t expect me to ask Hao Wenju’s permission. If I came as a leader, it would be difficult to let him go, but today I came as a special leader. I don’t know how you will work in the future, but I don’t think I will regret my choice today if I can combine my strength to this extent to defeat those enemies. See you next time.”
Lim So-baek spoke to the group of legalists.
“…Take him. “I was hurt a lot.”
Three or four people from the Buddhist school rushed over and supported Chu Myeong. As Chu Myeong-seo was walking surrounded by Buddhist monks, he turned around and said to Lim So-baek.
“I’ll see you again, my lord.”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“Let’s take a look.”
It was a rather strange night.
In this case, it was a night of injustice only for those who died.
If the leader fails, his subordinates die like this.
The group of legalists who had been strangely defeated and survived with ridiculous ease retreated from the dock with Chu Myeong Seosaeng as their escort. I screamed because it was absurd that this bastard left without saying goodbye.
“Chumyeong!”
Chu Myeong stopped and looked at me with an expression that made him feel like he had been caught stealing something.
I spoke as soon as I made eye contact with Chu Myung-seo.
“…bye. “I have to say goodbye.”
Chu Myeong-seo sighed and then walked away. I made eye contact with the slut and muttered.
“Who am I greeting?”
The devil clicked his tongue.
“…If you say hello to people with a lot of sparring, who will accept it? “Pathetic bastard.”
The demon helped.
“They beat me to the brink of death and then say hello to me. “It’s great.”
I spoke to the color demon and the demon demon.
“Where did you save me?”
“That’s right.”
Lim Sobaek was indeed a busy man and kept giving orders.
“Special task force.”
“yes.”
“If you stay up all night cleaning up the body, you’ll have to sleep all day tomorrow. “After resting today, hire people nearby as laborers tomorrow, pay them a generous daily wage, and then clean up the bodies on the dock.”
Danhyuksan answered.
“All right. “We will contact you once we have re-arranged your accommodations.”
Only then did Lim Sobaek look at me.
“Please guide me to the occupied guesthouse.”
I suddenly felt like he was a man who didn’t know much.
* * *
When we came to the illegally occupied guesthouse and sat around and looked at each other, everyone except the sword demon and the leader were dressed in flashy clothes.
This is because there were many torn places.
As I was looking at the tattered and torn hem of my clothes, it felt like it was looking at my heart, so I didn’t feel anything.
However, the level is different because the color demon and the demon demon were torn apart by enemy enemies, and I was torn apart by Chumyeongseosaeng.
My clothes are torn and tattered in a more artistic way.
Lim So-baek sat down on a chair and rested like a regular guest at the guesthouse. He pulled out the sword on the table and examined the blade. He then wiped the blade with a cloth he took out of his pocket, so I followed suit.
Saekma handed the beef jerky he had taken out of his arms to Maengju.
“Lord, would you like some? “It’s beef jerky.”
Lim Sobaek answered briefly.
“I’m not going to eat.”
“yes.”
I said while looking at the beef jerky that had nowhere to go.
“give it to me.”
The horse took the beef jerky that was offered to his mouth and returned to his original position.
I glared at the demon while cleaning my sword.
“That idiot.”
Lim So-baek, who had meticulously wiped the blood off his sword, asked me.
“…I heard it briefly during the fight. Are you planning to sit down in the same room?”
“If you’re not going to come out even after making such a fuss, it would be better to sit down. “I think of it as my hometown.”
Lim So-baek said.
“The reason it was difficult to attack Dongho is because most of the ordinary people here took the attitude of cooperating with Dongho First Sword. If I tried to capture Dongho Jeil Sword, I would end up harassing even sane people. Dongho wasn’t the only one who caused accidents.”
I calmly listened to the Murim Lord’s excuses.
The Murim Lord’s excuses continued.
“Actually, there are few masters in Maeng who are familiar with water warfare. Light attack has its limits. I understand that Dongho Jeilgeom owns over 340 large ships. “We managed to confiscate a few large ships.”
“Does he have that many bellies?”
“many. “I didn’t call it a miser for nothing.”
“He is the Water King. Are you really stuck on some island? “Anyway, why did you send Chu Myeong away?”
I listened to Lim Sobaek’s next excuse.
“If the bastards get involved, they will jump out one after another, so we cannot hastily expand the front line. Since we have arrived as a special task force, it is only right to focus on this mission. “The number of people is limited, so we must block the possibility of being attacked by other students here.”
It was quite a strategic choice.
“Did you know about the Western forces?”
Lim Sobaek looked around at the four major evildoers.
“I understand roughly. Students are strange people. These guys will be a pain in the ass if we unite. So, even if an accident occurred, they were told to put it on the public list individually. These are people who need to be dealt with individually. “You can’t give them room to merge into one.”
Even if an accident occurs, dealing with it individually means that even in a past life, you were vaguely aware of the forces of the Western world. Come to think of it, Akje (惡帝), another nickname for Baekwi Seosaeng, could have been given by the Murim League.
The Murim League was also coping with it in its own way.
Lim So-baek looked around at us and said.
“It seems like everyone’s skills have improved compared to before, which is surprising. “I feel like I’m the only one who’s in the right place after being beaten by his subordinates.”
The Sword Demon spoke in a sour tone.
“It’s a shame…”
Lim So-baek said as he made eye contact with me.
“Approximately how long will it take to order?”
It was a confusing question, but I answered right away.
“It could appear as soon as tomorrow. It may never appear. At first, I imagined that he would pass by here disguised as a peddler or look around disguised as the owner of an ordinary store, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. If you have this much patience, you are a great villain. “Regardless of whether they are strong in martial arts or not, those who have a great deal of shame are generally devil-like.”
“If you have no shame, are you a demon?”
“Isn’t that so? If you don’t have shame, the world revolves around you, you don’t care about other people’s feelings, and you’re the type of person who will complain about side dishes regardless of whether someone is starving to death or not. “He must be swearing at me while eating a sumptuous feast somewhere.”
Among the abusive remarks I have made, the level was quite high.
Although the lights were off around here, my words would spread from mouth to mouth among the people in the neighborhood. I believe that the words I spoke will one day reach Dongho Jeil Sword.
What did he say?
I won’t be angry, so just tell me the truth.
This is human psychology.
Moreover, since my every move would have to be reported to me, my bad words would get out somehow.
Lim So-baek said.
“Munju, if I stay in Dongho, I won’t show up anymore. what do you think about it.”
I answered while looking around the night streets of Dongho, where many of the lights were turned off.
“Actually, it doesn’t matter. These people probably have thoughts too. If people living in Dongho think that Dongho Jeil Sword needs to be replaced, an ordinary merchant can come and report it to me, or an old man can come and report it. Perhaps it is difficult to make a decision because the issue of making a living is deeply intertwined. However, as the results of today’s fight spread, the fear of Dongho First Sword will subside a little. “Let’s start by letting you know that we, the newly introduced people, are not at all afraid of Dongho First Sword.”
Lim So-baek nodded and called out to the demon.
“It’s a good strategy. “Monrang.”
“yes.”
“Buy me some alcohol.”
The devil stood up while holding his forehead.
“…Oh, I understand. I need to buy some alcohol. “It’s okay.”
The demon rubbed his face with both hands and walked off somewhere like a drunk guy.
Lim So-baek said while looking at the color demon.
“Why is it like that? “Isn’t that guy the youngest?”
He gave me a lot of knowledge.
“That’s right. “The youngest.”
In the middle of the street, the devil suddenly waved his arms and let out a loud song that woke up the sleeping people.
“Dongho First Sword Sonschi! Come out! Was the youngest one scared too? “I am every color!”
“Tsk tsk tsk. “It turned.”
When I clicked my tongue, the Sword Demon also sighed.
The demon got up and headed towards where the color demon had walked.
“Where?”
When I asked, the demon answered.
“Go look around.”
“good.”
It looked like he was going to escort a guy who was going to buy drinks. After a moment of silence, Lim So-baek asked in a curious tone.
“What happened to the child?”
I looked at Lim So-baek at the unexpected question.
“I made you my disciple.”
Lim Sobaek nodded slightly and answered in a calm tone.
“So that’s it.”
For a moment, the three of us exchanged incomprehensible sighs, then sprawled out on chairs and looking at the night sky. The twinkling stars in the night sky were shining like the swords held by powerful masters.
I counted the twinkling stars and asked the leader for a favor.
“I have a favor to ask, senior.”
“Say it.”
“Do you have something like a ranking record?”
“Since I have a list, there are times when I arrange it in order of rank for convenience. It might not be accurate. There are probably many people who have unmatched relationships, compatibility, and people who have hidden their skills. And there are men like you who become stronger day by day.”
I said while looking at Lim So-baek.
“Please keep lowering my rank in the Murim Alliance.”
“why? “I’m moving up faster than anyone else so far.”
“I think the higher my rank goes, the more people will think that Haomun is a great sect. “I think it would be better in the long run for it to just remain as an unremarkable sect.”
“is it?”
When I nodded, Lim Sobaek accepted.
“It’s not difficult. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll do it under Montrang.”
I looked at the Murim Lord.
“That’s a bit much.”
Lim So-baek immediately corrected himself, probably thinking it was a joke.
“I will comfort you.”
I didn’t want to be the butt of the joke, so I took the lead on Lim So-baek.
“Thank you.”
Suddenly, I made eye contact with the Sword Demon, but the Sword Demon avoided my gaze.
