The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 251
EP.252 Chapter 2 - Disappearance, investigation (1)
* * *
The meeting was in full swing..
“So… Yongbongdanju, are you listening??”
“…Oh, I'm sorry. I was listening. It's true about the policy of prohibition of alcohol.?”
“That’s right… Are you okay??”
Mok Riwon smiled awkwardly when Jeokundaeju Kang Chan asked..
His hand was still covering his mouth..
How can you say that you couldn't concentrate on the content because you were worried about the appearance of your lips?.
Mokriwon answered while reflecting on the words he had heard..
“Friendship was meant to be self-respectful and focus on establishing discipline, and I understand that well.?”
“That's right. The Blue Dragon Secretariat has just ended, so it's a bit chaotic, isn't it? Moreover, since the White Lotus Bridge is rampant, discipline needs to be straightened out even more..”
“I will tell my members well..”
Kang Chan nodded..
He looked a little upset, but the reason was none other than the Blue Dragon Secretariat..
32He made it all the way to the river, but ended up meeting Il-woon there and being eliminated. From what I heard, it was a close match, but Kang-chan himself must have been dissatisfied with the match, so whenever the word 'Blue Dragon Secretariat' was mentioned, he made a sad face..
“…Anyway, this is the end of the meeting. I'm disbanding.”
the meeting is over.
Mok Ri-won packed his bags and left immediately..
Today's work is over, and more than anything, it's hard to go out because you're worried about the scar on your lips..
It was the moment I opened the door and entered the manor of the party where I was staying..
“Mukryong Daehyup.”
Sohyang, Danghwaseo’s deputy, came to visit him..
“The head of the house has a schedule and will be away for two weeks..”
“hmm? suddenly?”
“Yes, because it was a sudden schedule..”
Sohyang responded with a harsh attitude..
As a woman who always lives with fatigue, there was nothing new about it..
Mok Riwon asked only one thing..
“It's dangerous.?”
In most cases, managing one's schedule thoroughly is a matter of Danghwaseo..
I already know that she is a woman who sets all her schedules at least a week in advance and never tries to deviate from them, but I am worried that she is canceling all her schedules and leaving..
Sohyang sighed..
“This is Sacheon. Baekryeon Bridge is popular these days..”
Baekryeon Bridge.
At those words, Mok Riwon’s eyebrows narrowed..
This is because there was something related to that on the agenda of today's meeting..
“…It was clearly a religion from the West..”
“Yes, its last appearance was more than a hundred years ago, but now that it is flowing into the central plains at this time, you can't help but think of its connection with the Demonic Cult..”
“I think I heard that too..”
From the beginning, it was already a well-known fact that Baekryeongyo and Cheonma Shinkyo were religions derived from the same root and that they had stopped coming and going since some point..
But isn’t the current situation like Kangho’s?.
The invasion of the Demonic Cult was only 7 years ago..
And the war ended poorly with both sides losing their best soldiers..
In a situation where people even say to knock on stone bridges, you can't help but pay attention to him..
Mo Liwon said while rubbing his chin..
“But I'm a little worried that Sojeo has to go there in person..”
“He said it wasn't a big deal. However, it is important to keep in mind the situation in which a master must be present..”
“If you're going to do that, me….”
…I can't take you with me.
Dan Ju is now leading a group under Meng, not an individual..
Our positions are too different to take each other around for personal purposes..
Mo Liwon smiled bitterly..
“Nothing should happen.”
“Well, is it a big deal??”
“don't worry?”
“Are you worried about the matriarch? I am?”
Sohyang let out a laugh..
Only then did Mokriwon express his understanding by making an “Ah” sound..
‘Come to think of it, Sojeo is now a transcendent expert..’
It was a fact I had forgotten because she was a woman who was truly reliable as a lover and as a person, but was always worried when she was helpless..
There is a perception that we must protect it..
‘Yes, Sojeo is a decent expert, so what's wrong with him?.’
Even if you search through all the powerhouses, the number of supreme martial artists does not exceed three digits..
She is one of the best and the owner of one of the five families that support the Baekdo Martial Arts..
Mok Ri-won shook off his anxiety, reassuring himself that nothing bad would happen..
2 weeks like that.
“…The matriarch has not returned.”
Danghwaseo did not come back.
Considering the schedule error, I waited four more days, but it was the same..
And again for three days.
“Mukryong, it’s a mission..”
The mission has been handed down.
“Please head to Sacheon..”
It was a mission to find the missing Danghwaseo..
*
Danju's office in Yongbongdan.
The gathered members were watching Mok Riwon's thoughts..
It had to be that way..
Mokriwon's demeanor was too different from usual to be excited or nervous about this being his first mission as a Yongbongdan member..
“…I think you've heard the news.”
Mokriwon opened his mouth..
The tone was not as relaxed and gentle as usual..
He had a suppressed voice and cold eyes, as if he was about to have an accident at any moment..
“Heading to Sacheon today. The mission is to investigate, find the missing Tang Wenju and solve the problem there..”
This is a major incident in which the head of the Five Generations family went missing..
This is also the case where Danju Mok Ri-won's lover disappeared..
The members swallowed dry saliva..
In the meantime, Namgung Soah asked..
“What information is known??”
“Soah asked a good question..”
Mok Riwon stood up and said:.
“Sojeo… So, the purpose of Tangmunju heading to Sacheon was to investigate Baekryeongyo. Circumstances were discovered that they were plotting an affair in Sacheon, so he went there in person..”
“Is there any more information??”
“Unfortunately, there isn't one. The only information we have is his whereabouts, but there are so many uncertainties that it is difficult to judge..”
A sigh escaped Mo Riwon’s mouth..
Namgung So-ah understood his feelings..
How can it be natural to act impatiently?.
Isn't it not just anyone else, but the lover I was so upset about has disappeared?.
“I will come prepared right away. So, what are you all doing? Not moving.”
“It's like he's the owner of the property..”
Kang Seo-hwi stood up and snorted..
After that, the other three also got up..
“1I'll give you an angle. You probably remember that I told you to always pack your bags for an emergency mission.?”
The members nodded at Mok Riwon’s words..
In fact, they all had their bags packed..
Except for one person.
‘…Oh, we're in big trouble..’
Jamryong Eonhyuk, he felt cold sweat running down his back..
I know I was packing my bags, but I didn't have time to do that because Mo Yong-jin was staying in the same room..
To be exact, if I showed him how to pack his things meticulously, it would give him the impression that he was a 'lazy genius', so I didn't pack it..
Karma was coming back.
Eonhyuk became impatient..
“Then disperse!”
Eonhyeok was the first to run out as Mokriwon shouted..
“Why is he like that??”
“I don't know, I'm probably doing something stupid again..”
His childhood friend Kang Seo-hwi only shook his head..
*
Okay.
it will be okay.
Mo Ri-won kept repeating those words to himself the whole time. Still, I couldn't help but feel anxious..
This is because it is the disappearance of Danghwaseo, not anyone else..
Aren't you anxious not because she is your lover, but because you know what kind of person she is?.
She is a woman who thinks three times before doing anything and moves in a planned manner..
Even if she is in danger, she creates a corner to let people know about the danger and moves on..
But she disappeared without any news..
‘Even my contacts were all hit..’
Or was imprisoned.
Mok Riwon’s eyes became cold..
Negative feelings toward White Lotus Bridge were welling up..
It's quite difficult to get your mind to stop living that way..
Even in a body that has already mastered the secret art of rejuvenation, there is a shaking inside that cannot be helped..
Mok Riwon took a long breath..
“Danju! I'm ready.”
All members, led by Namgung Soa, gathered in front of the pavilion with their belongings packed..
Meanwhile, Eonhyuk was struggling and was panting..
The reason is obvious, but getting scolded is for later..
Mo Liwon nodded and then said:.
“Let's go right away. I'll explain more details as I go..”
“The means of transportation….”
“With credulity. Think of it as training..”
Light and air are faster than words.
This is not to say the actual speed, but in the sense that it can cut through the curves of the road or the dense forest in a straight line..
Although they are still children, they are all the best warriors.
Since it was a time-sensitive mission, Mok Ri-won chose a drastic measure..
“If you're having a hard time, tell me. I'll give you some time to rest.”
And energy waves were released from Mok Riwon’s body..
“depart.”
Tung―!
Mokriwon’s new model has soared..
“Hey, hey! Let's chase after it quickly!”
In response, Namgung So-ah encouraged the members and began to demonstrate their strength..
The members gritted their teeth and took a step forward..
