The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 300
EP.301 Second Captain - Leader (2)
* * *
“Please follow me.”
The place where Gyeonggwol brought Mokriwon was the pavilion where he once shared a drink with Sa Baekun..
In the midst of still clear air and pure energy swimming.
Gyeongwol asked.
“What business is there?.”
It was an extremely business-like voice..
Mo Riwon took out a letter from his pocket..
“I'm here to tell you this..”
“What kind of letter is this??”
“This is a letter requested by the former leader..”
At that moment, Gyeonggwol’s eyebrows twitched..
interest? Otherwise it's annoying?
The change in facial expression was subtle, so it was not easy to notice the signs..
Gyeonggwol simply received the letter and opened it on the spot..
After reading the letter carefully, I asked that question..
“Have you read the content??”
“…no.”
“I understand.”
Gyeonggwol packed the letter into his bosom..
When Mok Ri-won kept his mouth shut, he added a word..
“It's a story about the war against the Demonic Cult..”
“Ah, yes….”
“You're not curious..”
Mo Liwon trembled..
Should I have been curious??
Suddenly that thought occurred to me, and at the same time, my awkwardness about the royal palace soared..
There is no change in facial expression or tone of voice, so it is difficult to know what kind of person this person is..
I felt it would be rude not to answer yes, Mokriwon said..
“I won't listen if it's something I'm not allowed to say..”
“That's great.”
“thank you…?”
There was silence again..
Mok Riwon felt like he was suffocating..
This was the first time in a long time that Mokriwon had experienced such an awkward silence..
‘Well, what on earth are you supposed to say?!’
There was a lot of confusion..
Gyeonggwol sighed and said..
“…I ask one question.”
“Yeah, yep!”
“Do you intend to sit in an important position in the Meng??”
“An important position means….”
“From major to major, to each of them, to this battle of maengju. What I'm saying is, do you have any intention of sitting in an important position in the royal family?.”
This too was meaningless..
There was one thing I had to say in reply..
“Um, none..”
There was a strange look in Gyeongwol’s eyes..
“Why? He seemed to have a desire for fame..”
“It's not wrong. However, it is not my intention to pursue the honor that comes with my position. As a guild member, I just want to make the guild known by riding strong and hospitable..”
Mok Riwon answered confidently..
The answer to this is that it has not wavered from the moment it first appeared in Gangho..
“The reason it is in the blind is because of the idea that it can also be an expedient. However, if I were to hold a key position, I would be torn between the government and reality at some point. I don't want that to happen. Above all, there is a reason why I am not very keen on administration..”
The story ended on a slightly embarrassing note..
Only then did Mok Riwon look at Gyeon Gwal..
He was staring at Mo Riwon quietly with his mouth shut..
Mo Ri-won felt like a child who had made a mistake for no reason..
It was that moment.
“You are rather immature..”
“….”
“Nevertheless, it is correct.”
Please make it clear whether it is a compliment or an insult..
While I was thinking to myself, Gyeonggwol said:.
“I don't know. When Yongbongdan was first formed, that is, when I was in the position of cabinet leader, I wanted to expel you from the group..”
A story that cannot be ignored came out of Gyeonggwol's mouth..
Mokriwon's eyes were wide open..
“However, that's why I didn't like the idea of turning them into heroes just because they were children of famous families or people with high levels of martial arts. It's only been 20 years since the end of bloodshed, and even though I know that a new name must ring in the river with a new threat, I did it..”
“that….”
“Because I believe that it is not strength but will that protects the river..”
Gyeonggwol bowed his head slightly..
“I apologize for that. You are an upright person..”
“Oh, you shouldn't have said that. look up….”
“I did something cowardly, so I should apologize..”
“Well, still keep your head down….”
“It's done.”
Even though he was embarrassed, Mokriwon let out a small exclamation..
Because there were things that made me feel more sensitive..
it was will.
It was a communication that was possible because they were warriors who had reached transcendence, and it was a trajectory of life that could only be observed at the level of oneness between everything and everything..
Before coming here, Mokriwon had heard many stories about the royal palace..
They were all helpful stories, and each person spoke of a different aspect of Gyeonggung, but at this moment, Mokriwon knew for sure..
‘You are the leader.’
He was a martial arts leader.
Although it feels different from Sabaekun, it was clearly a summit that stood firm with the determination to protect the Baekdo martial forest..
This might be his way of protecting the martial arts world..
How to build a thick castle wall by guarding against, testing, and controlling many external things..
Mokriwon smiled brightly..
Just because the method is different does not mean it is wrong..
“I have no intention of blaming the past. Just raise your head now..”
“I understand.”
Gyeonggwol raised his head again and had an expressionless expression..
However, it didn't feel as awkward as before..
That was the power of understanding.
Mokriwon spoke in a relaxed voice..
“Oh, by the way, I had a drink with Jin Won Dan not long ago..”
“Why are you telling me that story?.”
“hmm? Aren't you my grandfather??”
“It's the child you gave away..”
“….”
He's a difficult person to fully understand..
Mok Ri-won looked at Gyeon-gwal sipping tea and smiled awkwardly again..

It was late at night with the moon shining brightly..
Gyeonggwol suddenly remembered a memory from the distant past..
-A world full of upright people is good. However, not everyone can do that..
It was a chat with a certain swordsman who reminded me of a immortal..
-Someone has to look at the dark side. On behalf of the countless people under the sun, you must be able to look straight into the dark cave..
-That's how you'll comfort me?
-I am saying that you are a strong enough person to do such a thing. Not everyone has the courage to sacrifice themselves..
Sword Saint Mok Seon Oh.
were his words.
It was not long before the blood death ended..
The world was a wonder.
It was a time when countless people were giving orders to the demons of Hyeolcheongyo every day, and those who tried to stop them were being brutalized..
It was no different because it was a royal palace..
He was the protagonist of Meng.
Haepa Sword Gyeon-gwol was clearly one of the names of the Baekdo martial arts warriors who were active in the midst of bloodshed..
That's why there were many people targeting him..
In particular, many people targeted their sick sons and daughters-in-law..
That's why.
-Don't ever appear before my eyes again..
-arbor….
-Don't call me that, you bastard..
Gyeongwol had to choose between a good father and a good military man..
The decision made at the end is insulation..
I just happened to have an excuse that my son is in love with a woman he has no connection to..
I pretended not to know that they had a child together..
As time went by and my daughter-in-law brought Gyeon-dong home, she had an undying affection for him and embraced him, but she did not love him..
I belatedly decided that giving affection to that child would only amount to abominable masturbation..
Anyway, what tormented Gyeongwol for quite a long time was the guilt of killing his son with his own hands..
I tried to humbly accept it, but there was a day when I felt so ashamed of myself that I drank alcohol, and those were the words of comfort from Mok Seon-oh that day..
-I won't say it's right. But you were brave.
The collapsing palace was able to rise again with just one word..
No, even with those words, I didn't want to look back..
I wasn't a good father.
He wouldn't be a good grandfather either..
In that case, it would be better to throw everything away and be upright as a warrior..
That was the only reason why Gyeonggung was so obsessed with work..
Gyeonggwol, who was reminiscing, closed his eyes..
‘Thinking about nothing.’
It seems like he suddenly came to mind during a conversation with Mok Riwon..
Gyeonggwol snorted and took out the letter from Sa Baek-un in his chest and read it..
『We will head to the border of Xinjiang. It seems that the current power is not enough to stop the demons flowing in..
Do not announce it to the public, but hide the letter in the marked location until a full-scale war begins. I'll go check every fifteen days..』
War clouds hover once again.
The activities of the Demonic Cult have begun once again..
a lot has changed.
Gyeonggung was no longer a warrior on the front line, but the top of the Baekdo martial arts army..
‘I should take responsibility.’
Gyeonggwol closed his eyes..
As a ghost of the old world, it is time to do my final work..
*
A large poster was posted on the wall..
it was just one sentence.
Murim lord Haepa Sword Gyeon-gwal himself wrote with powerful handwriting..
[I will head to Xinjiang.]
By definition, it was a declaration of war..
Baekdo Wurim has risen once again.
The whole of Central Plains was in a state of excitement just because of the news..
It was that kind of day.
Mok Ri-won faced the man..
“The promised 7 years have passed.”
A man with black clothes and black lips, who moves alone and has the energy of a million people, and at the same time a feeling of emptiness that contains nothing..
He was a Black Snake Runner.
“Follow me.”
Mokriwon walked with him..
