manor house.
Mile Seok was drinking at a shabby table in front of him..
Danghwaseo knelt in front of him and said:.
“I heard this from the small cooperative. He has been through a bloody battle..”
“…Yeah, I guess he told you everything..”
Mile Seok filled his glass with alcohol..
Danghwaseo was able to learn quite a few facts from its movements, facial expressions, and facial expressions..
Among the things he found out there, there were quite a few things he didn't tell Mok Riwon, and that that fact might have a negative impact on Mok Riwon..
Danghwaseo swallowed his nervousness and asked,.
“Could you please tell me? About neck narrowing.”
“why should i do that.”
“I want to help you.”
Mile Seok’s gaze makes my whole body tingle..
Danghwaseo gritted his teeth and endured it..
‘Of course, this is a reaction you can see..’
He and Mok Seon-oh are the two men who have raised Mok Ri-won all their lives..
In other words, he is a man no different from Mok Riwon's parents..
There was no reason for a man like that, especially a man who reigned as the absolute leader of Jungwon martial arts, to take risks and tell the truth to a third party..
‘but.’
Nevertheless, the reason I kneel down like this is because my feelings for Mokriwon are not a joke..
If there is a crisis, I want to overcome it together..
If it was a weight he couldn't bear alone, he was willing to carry it instead..
The sincerity is clearly conveyed.
Danghwaseo wanted to believe those words..
“Baby, do you like Won that much??”
I flinched..
Danghwaseo raised his head and looked at Mileseok..
You can tell by the stern expression on his face that this isn't a playful question..
I answer by saying.
“Yes, I like it. a lot.”
“why?”
“This is why the Mok Soohyup made it possible for me to live like this..”
It was like that..
What is your face, what is your personality?.
Danghwaseo usually cited such things as reasons why he liked Mokriwon, but when he looked deeper into his own heart, this was the reason that came to mind..
“I was a fugitive.”
“know.”
“He was a coward who ran away from his family and tried to ignore them for the rest of his life..”
“I also heard that.”
“There was something that Mok Sohyeop said to me. Those words helped me stop being a coward..”
“…What does that mean?.”
Danghwaseo laughed.
“This means that nowhere in the world is there a law that holds the victim guilty..”
Suyang County, Gangxi Province, Mok Riwon said there.
“So there is no need to be afraid of anything..”
He said there was no reason to run away because he had not committed a sin..
He said that there is no reason to worry about defeat because there is cooperation..
Mok Riwon taught me how to stand up and how to fight..
To myself, a stranger, just because I want to help.
That warm good will was the reason Danghwaseo loved Mokriwon..
“I learned good faith from the Mok Sohyeop. If it weren't for Mok Sohyeop, I would have been an idiot who didn't know good intentions. That's why neck narrowing is good. I would also like to repay that goodwill..”
I wanted to make Mokriwon smile throughout my life..
I wanted to make sure he didn't lose his smile while spreading his ideas to the world..
Even if people laughed at me and said I was stupid, Danghwaseo didn’t care..
That reason was enough.
Just as he did for himself, the reason for his love was the return of good will..
“So, I'd like to hear.”
Danghwaseo finished speaking and immediately lowered his head..
A sigh flowed from Mileseok’s mouth..
silence that lasted quite a long time.
Danghwaseo lowered his head and controlled his nervousness while listening to the sound of Mileseok gulping down his drink..
How much time had passed? Just as I was starting to feel cold sweat, Mile Seok finally answered..
“…Won is very fortunate..”
This is said with a small smile..
Danghwaseo’s head suddenly lifted up..
“I heard that you were the first one to step forward when Won joined Gangho..”
Miles was smiling faintly..
“thank god. And thank you. You would have been a great help in Won’s love for Kang-ho..”
Danghwaseo was not without notice..
I knew right away that those were words of consent..
“Girl King…!”
“So don't ask.”
Standing tall, Danghwaseo’s body stiffened..
Miles made a stern expression..
“Are you confident that you won't run away?.”
It was a question there was no need to worry about..
“yes.”
“Even if it’s a burden you can’t bear with your strength?”
“If it's a burden I can't bear on my own, it's a burden my small group can't bear either. So it would be better to share..”
“If it's a burden that just two people can't bear,?”
What on earth are you trying to say to scare me so much?.
Danghwaseo’s fist was clenched..
“…If I do that, I will become a person strong enough to carry the burden..”
Since I still couldn't give up, what I uttered again were words of promise..
At that moment, Mile Seok let out a wave of energy and crushed Dang Hwa Seo's shoulder..
‘It's a test.’
If you hang your head here, he won't really tell you anything..
Danghwaseo held on with all his might..
Even though the arms supporting my body trembled, I never lowered my head..
Did it reach my heart?.
“…What a toxic kid..”
Mile Seok was defeated..
Only then was Danghwaseo able to exhale..
“Heo Eok…!”
“I praise your spirit. When we say charlatans, we mean those who never back down even in the face of a powerful enemy. Won said so. You are truly a child suited to being a charlatan..”
The words didn't really reach my ears, but I can't ignore them..
Danghwaseo tried to smile..
mileseok said.
“good night. Follow me.”
Miles got up from his seat..
*
The place we arrived at along the mile stone was the deepest interior of the outbuilding..
A closed room on all sides.
It was a space with a small table, a few books on it, and a skull at the end..
“Here, take this..”
Danghwaseo received a book from Mileseok..
When I touched the outside, it was a book that had been recently published..
“Yeokseong Dabeop…?”
“The answer is in that book. Since the original text was written in the chief's language, it was interpreted with the help of Jegal..”
“What is this book??”
“This is something I found in a blood battle..”
Mile Seok laughed bitterly..
Meanwhile, Danghwaseo's eyes fell on the skull..
That was the moment I thought, whose skull is that?.
“The answer to this skull is also in that book..”
Mile Seok noticed how he knew and said..
Danghwaseo trembled and lowered his head..
What I had to say now was not a question about the skull..
“thank you for your trust.”
“You showed such determination, but what if you don’t believe it?.”
“I will definitely prove that the girl king's choice was not wrong..”
“Don't do it to me, do it to Won..”
Mile Seok turned around..
“I couldn't bear to say anything to Won. Maybe that's why I'm not good at it.”
It's a voice that conveys regret somewhere..
Danghwaseo had to suppress the rising doubts..
“It is up to you to decide whether to read the book and reveal all the facts to Won, or to hide them. Yes, maybe you can comfort Won..”
Mile Seok walked out hurriedly..
“If you need help, let me know. I will help you as much as I can.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Let's go.”
Danghwaseo followed Mileseok and left the secret room..
He was holding a book tightly in his arms..
That was the moment I came out of the annex..
“Girl King!!!”
A warrior from the Zhuge family came running in a panic, shouting in an urgent voice..
“hmm? What's going on?.”
“It's urgent.!”
The warrior stopped, took a deep breath, and spoke in a trembling voice..
“The northeast has been breached. Shaman….”
A frowning face and a pale complexion.
Then, what he said,
“…The shaman was wiped out.”
Danghwaseo’s face turned pale..
“Seonryong betrayed.”
*
Northeast of Cheonghae, the border with Xinjiang, which was blocked by Taoists of the Shaman faction..
The conditions there were terrible..
The moonlight reflects off the red blood, creating a gloomy atmosphere..
Scattered pieces of meat, and the Taoist attire of corpses stained dark red..
Everything pointed out clearly and clearly that this place was in trouble..
“5Meet the elder.”
Sima Gong, who was called Xuanlong in the central plains, bowed his head..
Where his head was headed was an old man with a stocky physique carrying a large sword on his shoulder..
“Has anyone escaped?.”
“We are tracking.”
“…okay.”
5The elder withdrew his gaze..
Sima Gong barely held back the laughter that was about to burst out..
‘at las…!’
I'm escaping this awful land of Jungwon..
You're going back to Sima Gong, not Xuan Gong..
I'm returning to the Hundred Thousand Mountains that I longed for..
The shaking didn't stop.
I felt like screaming out of excitement..
Sima Gong raised his head and looked at the corpses of Taoists lying around..
‘I became weak.’
5The elder and 10 limbs are the end of the troops that came here..
Nevertheless, the shaman was helpless..
These were the words of the underdogs who were not able to achieve even a single transcendence..
“…Gonga.”
I heard voices of everyone dying..
Sima Gong turned his head..
“long essay.”
There, a shaman named Jang Mun-in, with an arm blown off and a hole in his stomach, was looking at himself, panting..
With his face contorted as if he couldn't believe it, Sima Gong eventually burst into laughter..
Danghwaseo gritted his teeth and endured it..
Mile Seok’s gaze makes my whole body tingle..
‘Of course, this is a reaction you can see..’
