I see emperor stats-Chapter 147
enter
Since then, the representation of the Celestial Dragon, including Keynes, has progressed smoothly. In less than three days, he arrived in Luoyang, where Jeong Do-Meng headquarters was located.
Luoyang was one of the largest cities in the western part of the Huan Empire, so it was incomparable to the small towns I had often heard before.
“Heh heh. Then, I will stop by Jeong Do-maeng for the time being and deliver the target.”
Gukju Jang Dae-in, who had been impatient even before arriving, greeted Keynes and hurriedly moved to Jeong Do-maeng.
Socheol looked at him slightly suspiciously.
'It's a target that the master of the Demonic Cult is aiming for and must deliver directly to Jeong Do-maeng... … .'
“Brother, what are you worried about?”
“No. Anyway, we should go to the Nangin Association quickly while Gukju is away! He said it would be good to remove the horns from the sweet seaweed.”
"All right."
Keynes and Socheol went to the town of Lukyang while chatting about each other.
* * *
After some time had passed, Daein Jang sighed in relief and stood in front of the door of Jeong Do-maeng's office.
“The Lord of the Heavens, the Heavenly Dragon, has visited to deliver the tokens.”
“Ask them to come in.”
profit.
Jang Dae-in, who opened the door and entered, greeted the leader of Jeong Do-maeng, Baek Hak-geom-seon Shin Seong-seong, and greeted him politely.
“It is an honor to meet Shin Dae-hyeop.”
"haha… It's just an old leg. Please sit down. I'm going to ask you to bring the car."
The leader, Shin Shin-seong, greeted him with an empty smile like a freshman, but Jang Dae-in's life was in danger, so his relaxed mind was at a loss.
He quickly takes a small wooden box out of his pocket and sets it on the table.
“The goods are here.”
“… … .”
Shin Shin-sung, who was staring blankly at him, noticed Jang Dae-in's expression and offered words of comfort.
“It looks like you’ve been through quite a bit of a crisis, right?”
"haha… Shouldn’t we endure this much sacrifice for the sake of Murim’s justice?”
That's what he said, but Jang Dae-in lost 12 first-class captains, and the amount to be paid to Keynes was a considerable level, so he was crying on the inside.
Shin Seong soothed him with a warm tone.
“The damage caused by this incident will definitely be compensated in the future. I will guarantee it in my name as the leader.”
“I don’t know what to do with Shin Dae-hyup saying that.”
After such a formal conversation, Shin Shin-sung gently lifted the wooden box that Jang had handed him with both hands. Then, a soft exclamation is emitted.
"hmm."
Even though it was summer, the box was hot as if it had been heated by a fire. If you are not a person who has learned martial arts, it will be difficult to even wear it.
“It must be a divine instrument. I definitely got it.”
Jang Dae-in, who lowered his head without a word, was quite puzzled inwardly. It was because he didn't really know what he was talking about.
Like a merchant, he had a habit of evaluating the value of goods. At first, he thought it was codenamed for transportation, but looking at the appearance of Shin Seong-seong, it seems that the original name of that item is Singi.
'If it's enough to be aimed at by an elder of the Demonic Cult, it must be an unusual item. Let's see... What treasure in this world is worthy of being called a god?'
"haha… What are you thinking so hard about?”
Shin Shin-seong's gentle words brought him back to his office, lost in thought.
“Oops, I’m sorry. I must have been thinking nonsense.”
"Hehe, you've had a hard time because of this stuff, so it's understandable that you're thinking that."
“I have no face. If the lord receives the target directly, it won't be a business man like me to get involved.”
Looking at Jang Dae-in, who bowed his head, Shin Shin-seong added a word with a non-trivial look.
“Singi is literally shinki.”
“What is it?”
“How many treasures are there that are recorded as sacred in literature throughout the ages?”
“… … !?”
At first, Zhang Daein thought he was joking. However, seeing Sinzaseong staring at him with a carefree expression, his face soon turned into astonishment.
"no way… … .”
Shin Seong-seong continued his speech in a relaxed tone.
"That's right. Inside this is one of the four divine instruments of Manbyeongmuje Lee Cheong-mun Daehyeop, who was called the best master in the world two hundred years ago.”
“Hut!”
Jang Dae-in was also a trader, but since he was dipping his toes in Murim, there is no way he doesn't know the legend of the Four Guardian Gods.
As Shin Shin-seong said, the four weapons that Lee Cheong-moon used two hundred years ago were called.
According to legend, each of the four divine objects was said to have the power to topple mountains and split the sea.
It is a name that is almost forgotten now, but people at the time also called him the Four-Fang Wu-Je.
"buy… If true, that would be surprising. haha… … .”
Daein Jang took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was natural for him to be upset.
'If the miracles of the four directions really existed, it would be such a big event that it would upset Moorim. Why would you tell a merchant like me about it?'
If there was such a thing there, it would not be enough to be escorted by strong guards under strict security, so why did they secretly send it through the flag?
Watching him roll his eyes here and there, Shin Shin burst out laughing.
“Heh heh! It has not yet been confirmed that it is genuine. However, after a while, we will have a meeting at the meeting to determine if this is a god, so by then it won't be a secret."
"haha… okay."
Shin Sung-seong talked to that point and turned around.
“Could you tell us what happened while you were here? I heard that they were attacked by the Demonic Cult... … .”
Hearing those words, Jang Dae-in jumped to his senses. Come to think of it, isn't there something about Keynes, an unidentified master? He opened his mouth to talk about it in detail.
"actually… … .”
* * *
“The boat is all ready.”
“Then can we start now?”
“… That's right, great deal."
Namgung Ilchun was still a bit awkward dealing with Julius because of his previous fight. However, while preparing the ship to cross to Namhae, there were many changes between Julius and Jeong Do-yeon.
First of all, it was that Julius was able to show his face at the headquarters meeting like now.
By defeating Namgung Ilcheon at the guarantee of Jegal Sega, everyone had no choice but to acknowledge his position. There is also the presence of this character.
“Sniff! So, did your master come here to volunteer for the Bidong expedition?”
"yes. There is a reason.”
Goo Cheon-geol, a monster, had been looking at him with a slightly puzzled expression, even though his suspicions about Julius had been resolved for the past few days.
'Hey, I heard that the legend of the Great War is famous in the West Continent, so did you become interested?'
left hand.
Namgung Ilchun took a map out of his pocket and spread it on the table.
“First of all, this is the unconfirmed map of non-consent discovered this time.”
"undecided?"
“Let me explain.”
When Julius expressed his doubts, Jegal Unhyeon explained.
“Actually, this map started the conflict with the Demonic Cult.”
“Hoo… … .”
A few months ago, that enigmatic map came into the hands of Jeong Do-maeng. The map, which detailed the location of the island and the topography of Bidong, did not specifically indicate what it was.
“Is something suspicious? To think that a map of an area that had not been investigated properly in the first place was suddenly discovered.”
"That's right. There was another problem. It is a rumor.”
"rumor?"
Jegal Unhyeon smiled bitterly and continued.
“There were only two of those maps, and they each fell into the hands of Jeong Do-maeng and the Demonic Cult. However, rumors about Bidong suddenly spread in Moorim.”
“Is that the legend of that wall-nerd scare or something?”
“You seem to have heard.”
“That caused unnecessary misunderstanding.”
Seeing Julius grumble, Jegal Unhyeon laughed and opened his mouth again.
“You know, so you can omit the explanation. That's right. Rumors spread that Bi-dong on this map is Bongmado, where the legacy of Byeok-an Gupma and Lee Cheong-moon remains.”
Having heard that far, Julius' eyes lit up.
“Question aside, isn’t this a trap?”
“I judged that there was a high possibility of that even in the blind.”
An unidentified map, a rumor that suddenly spread. In addition, it was suspicious that the person who obtained the map was the enemy, and that it was the two most powerful forces in Moorim, Jeong Do-maeng and the Demonic Sect.
Julius looked a bit disappointed.
“Tsk! Does that mean that the actual legacy of Qingwen Li may not exist?”
“Maybe not necessarily.”
“… … !?”
However, Jegal Unhyeon's thoughts seemed a little different.
"I'm not sure it's a legacy of investigation, but I'm sure there's something there."
"The reason is that?"
“First of all, the internal organs are so sophisticated. Both Jeong Do-maeng and the Maqiao sent the first expedition, but they did not return even after Ilhal. The survivors are terrified that the trap inside is really vicious.”
Julius nodded. It seemed that the reason why two superhuman level masters were sent was not simply because of a quarrel with the Demonic Cult.
“And the breadth is enormous. Even if the pre-existing cave is widened, it is almost impossible to make such a nose with human power.”
Upon hearing that, Julius added a word.
"If you're not human, you mean where the player touched?"
“I think it is very likely.”
"hmm… … .”
“Listen, is your lord interested in players?”
As the two's expressions became serious, Gu Chun-geol insinuatedly intervened. He wanted to know the true identity of Julius, so he often asked questions like this.
“I am more interested than others.”
It was a casual answer, but Gu Chun-geol, who heard that, was lost in thought for a moment.
'A player with a high status, an excellent martial artist... … .'
As more than half of the people gathered in the hall fell silent, one thousand Namgung caught in the middle were unable to do anything. His name is the leader of the Jeongdo Union, but he looked very pitiful.
“Daehyup, can we resume the meeting now?”
"ah! I guess I thought too deeply. Please continue.”
Julius gave a cool answer, and the meeting finally came to a conclusion. In summary, the conclusion is as follows.
One, take a boat and head to Namhae Island.
Two, in order to prevent the attack of the Demonic Cult in the middle, divide the number of people who will enter the building and the number of people who will be vigilant outside.
Third, the items obtained from Bi-dong are first taken to Jeong Do-maeng and assigned to the owner.
The third clause was put in with Julius in mind, but he didn't care.
'Anyway, even if there is a legacy, it's enough to learn through learning.'
So things went smoothly, and Julius and Jeong Do-yeon got on a boat to Namhae-do. He grimaced as he climbed into the boat.
'The weather is so nasty. Do I have nothing to do with the sea?'
Frankly, the experience of shipwreck made him reluctant to board the ship.
Wheein!
slam!
Even the weather was like this. The wind was strong and it began to rain incessantly. It didn't seem like the ship could not float, but for Julius, who was swept away by the typhoon, there was no choice but to be traumatized.
“The weather has been very fickle this year. Until the lord arrived, the fishermen said the clear weather would last for several days.”
Leaving behind Jegal Unhyeon, who was tilting his head as if it was very strange, Julius was observing the state of the waves from the boat.
'Looks like an island not too far away. Nothing special.'
Ugh!
Julius, who was standing on the boat, felt a considerable vibration in his waist and slightly lifted his yellow dragon sword.
'what's the matter?'
[…] … .]
Seeing the yellow dragon sword without any reply, Julius had a puzzled expression.
'Come to think of it, since I came to the East Continent, I'm surprisingly quiet.'
After coming to the East Continent, the Yellow Dragon Sword became silent at some point. However, since he wasn't the type to talk much before that, Julius didn't think it was a big deal and put the sword back in.
'Normally, I would have cursed at him, but it seems that this damn sword has matured, doesn't it?'
* * *
half a day after that.
Julius and Jeong Do-yeon were standing at the entrance of a cave located in a strange rocky cliff. This is exactly what Bidong was on the map.
Namgung Ilchun bowed his head respectfully to one of the party.
“Then, I would be grateful if senior Koo Noh could serve as a guide.”
"I'm here for that, so I know you don't have to say anything!"
Gu Cheon-geol, who was quick to shoot, took a wooden staff and tapped it around the entrance, or lay flat and sniffed it. This is the real reason why he went to Jeong-do Union.
He was also the ark of openness, but he was also called Moorim's best for his extensive knowledge of various types of trachea and tracking techniques. He was a must-have talent to break through this pitfall-filled pit.
Soon after the investigation was completed, Gu Chun-geol began to report with a brusque face.
“There are people who entered before the start. It's probably the magicians. There are no special devices at the entrance.”
Hearing that, Namgung Ilcheon's face became a bit urgent.
“Thank you for your hard work. I'll have to get in quick. Because the Demonic Cult cannot take away players.”
He looked back at Julius with a nervous expression.
“There might be an attack while searching for Bidong, so either you, Julius Daehyeop or Unhyeon, should be left behind.”
Since there were three supermen, one had to remain to guard the entrance. Jegal Unhyeon spoke coolly.
“Then I can stay. If you and your lord go together, nothing will happen.”
“… … !?”
Namgung Ilchun honestly thought that there was nothing he could do about it, even if a quarrel broke out here, but unexpectedly, Jegal Unhyeon easily backed down.
“Daehyeob, are you okay?”
“It is not difficult. It's fine.”
Julius readily agreed because he had talked to Jegal Unhyeon beforehand. He had to build trust by acting together in order to win their hearts anyway.
It was a wise choice to preserve power at the entrance to prevent an unexpected attack, and if it was Jegal Unhyeon, it would not matter if it was removed because it was already a reliable guard.
“There are other benefits as well.”
These were the words of Jegal Unhyeon. Looking at him who made a clear decision, the members of Jeong Do-yeon were looking at Julius with friendly eyes.
“To go into a dangerous place where you might collide with the Demonic Bridge, leaving behind a number of subordinates like Shinchang, Jegalunhyeon, and Daehyeop... … .”
“The appearance is a little unusual, but his martial arts skills are also unusual.”
The Murim people originally respected the strong. In addition, he showed the appearance of a great man leaving behind superhuman-level subordinates for the rest of the Jeong-do Union, so it is inevitable to look at him with admiration.
Such a friendly atmosphere was created, and with Ku Cheon-geol at the forefront, Jeong-do Union finally entered Bi-dong.
The number of people was about 50 elite masters centered on Julius, Namgung Ilcheon, and Gucheongeol. Anything more than that was considered to be a hindrance when moving quickly.
The masters of the Jeongdo Union, who cautiously moved into Bidong, exclaimed as soon as they entered.
“Is this place Bidong?”
“It’s amazing, just like what I heard. How was it possible to create such a wide cave?”
The entrance to the nasal passage was narrow, but the width of the aisle became very wide, as if it was widened using human power. In addition, the ceiling was lined with expensive night wine, illuminating the interior.
"It's not that I don't believe in old Noh Bae's skills, but please be careful."
"Know."
Goo Chun-geol snorted and took a step into the nasal passage with tight tension. This is a dangerous area to the point of almost annihilating dozens of masters dispatched by Jeong Do-maeng.
Namgung Ilchun, who was staring intently at Goo Chun-geol’s investigation, looked at Julius beside him and made a slightly puzzled expression.
“Great deal? Do you have any problem?"
The Julius he looked at was looking around with a strange expression as soon as he entered the Bidong.
“No, I have something to think about.”
Julius, who was just looking around, suddenly shouted at Goo Cheon-geol, who was busy investigating.
“Nine thousand girls! Just take three steps to the side.”
"huh?"
Ku Cheon-geol frowned, wanting to see why the damn lord would do that again. But orders were orders. He moved three steps obediently.
However, Julius' instructions did not end there.
“Two more steps from there!”
“… … !?”
Gu Chun-geol and other members of the Jeongdo Union tilted their heads, wondering why Julius was acting like that.
'Are you kidding me? Eh... … .'
Goo Cheon-geol took two more steps without thinking. But at that moment, Julius' voice rang in his ears.
“Watch your head!”
"ok?"
Shih!
Goo Cheon-geol looked up at the ceiling for a moment. And he freaked out.
"omg!"
A crack in the ceiling opened and suddenly a small urn shot down over his head.
However, Gu Cheon-geol was a master of divine law recognized by Moorim. He evaded the urn by spinning his body in an instant without any preparatory action.
“What is this… … .”
Chii profit!
“… … !?”
Surprisingly, when the liquid in the jar and the bottom came in contact with it, it quickly corroded and the bottom melted. Considering that it melts hard granite in an instant, if a person was hit, it would have been melted and crushed without a shape.
"It's a volcanic mountain!"
Hwagol Mountain was the most terrible of the acid poisons, and it was a terrifying thing that if you use it on a person, it will melt away without leaving a corpse before it's time to drink a cup of tea.
Goo Chun-geol stared at Julius with his eyes wide open. How could Julius see through a trap he didn't even notice?
However, Julius didn't answer and just smiled.
'It must have come to the right place.'
Although invisible to others, a detailed map of Bidong was displayed in front of his eyes.
[The quest 'Hyeonmubidong' begins.]
[A map is given. Avoid the traps and clear Bidong.]
