The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 301
EP.302 Part 11 - War, early night (1))
* * *
In Gangho, promises are not made in vain..
This was a fact that Mok Seon-oh and Mile Seok had taught Mok Ri-won since childhood..
The reason is that, unlike the general world, Kangho Moorim follows the logic of power..
To that extent, the weight of a promise is the same as the weight of one's life, and if one loses one's life due to a rash promise, it becomes a karma that must be accepted humbly..
-So, my dear, always be careful when making promises. Especially if it is between unmanned people..
Those words came to mind again.
Mok Riwon answered in his heart..
‘But Master, isn't it okay if you keep it?.’
Seven years ago, Mok Ri-won made a covenant with Do Eung-gang, the master of black snakes, even though he already knew about the gravity of the promise..
It was a promise to prove that Gyeonggwa existed, and now that the due date had arrived, I was facing him..
It was like that today.
The place is a shabby guest house in the most corner of Wuhan..
Jeomsoy is a third-rate chef, and the chef is a second-rate chef..
It was an undeniable fact that they were a lure for the black island that Do Eungang had planted in Wuhan..
Do Eungang spoke with his characteristic cold, indifferent expression..
“You've become stronger.”
“7Years have passed. The Black Snake Lord also worked hard..”
“took the elixir.”
“I don't think that's all..”
“Do I have an obligation to answer??”
“No.”
“Take a drink.”
Do Eungang offered me a drink..
Mokriwon raised his glass..
It must have been in a shabby bottle, but the scent it gave off was that of a high-quality liquor..
Are they treated like guests??
When I glanced at him, Do Eunkang poured down his glass in one go and made eye contact..
Mok Ri-won passed the glass to the back of his neck..
“…It's a good drink.”
At that moment, snacks came out..
This too was a delicacy that did not fit into a shabby store..
“Eat.”
Do Eungang created an ordinary meal, saying only the necessary things..
Mokriwon followed..
He didn't seem like a person who would use poison, and even if assassination was his goal, a meal sitting across from each other was not suitable for the assassination method he would carry out..
Mok Ri-won had some understanding of what kind of person Do Eungang was..
He is a man who cannot feel human emotions..
Therefore, he was a person who based everything on strictly rational judgment..
It must have been his own method of survival..
Apart from being born with no talent, not being able to feel emotions will be a disadvantage as you live among humans and manipulate them..
Anyway, in conclusion, that was the story..
“Now let's get to the point..”
He came to talk..
At least it was like that for today.
Do Eungang said while looking at Mokriwon with empty eyes..
“Seven years have passed since we promised. But Your Tracks has been closed for 7 years. I barely came out as a strong player and lost the title once. It ended up being a trip to various places under the guise of a mission..”
“I hope you did your research well..”
“What did you accomplish among the proofs you promised?.”
Mok Riwon smiled slightly..
It is impossible for those who have reached transcendence to communicate through dancing..
Even without dividing the sword, Mok Ri-won could feel that nothing could be solved by fighting with Do Eungang..
and said.
“I reached transcendence.”
“Since I am no longer superior, are you trying to force me??”
“That's not the case. It meant that I had finished one of the things needed for proof..”
Do Eungang’s eyebrows narrowed slightly..
He was purely concerned about the meaning of Mok Riwon's words..
“Can you explain the correlation between consultation and force??”
“What I am saying is that I have finally reached a position where I can carry out my will. The powerful martial arts group returns to the law of strength. But what will change if I spread my beliefs to the world without that power? It starts now for things to change. Now that I'm in a position where I can speak out for my beliefs.”
“That's an excuse..”
Do Eungang refilled his glass..
“You're talking about a reprieve..”
“There is no need to call it a reprieve..”
“It doesn't feel like anything more or less than a request to extend the promised period..”
It was a bit of a firm tone..
“If you say that you have sought to increase military power and are now in a position to prove it, I cannot refute that. Because you and I have reached the same level of inaction. If I fight, won't it only hurt me?.
First, it means that you will definitely lose in the matter you promised. Because the means by which you brought me to my knees was not cooperation but force..”
Do Eungang spoke coherently..
His logic was truly rational..
definitely true.
Mok Riwon did not bother to refute him..
If you want, you can bring him to his knees by force..
Otherwise, the grace period can be extended forever..
But doing something like that would be an act of breaking a promise you made yourself 7 years ago..
It's like admitting to yourself that it doesn't really exist and that beliefs don't matter..
“So now it's my turn to speak?”
“Yes.”
“I will answer. you don't have to wait any longer.”
“Speak so that you can understand.”
“How much time do we have left in the 7 years we promised??”
“…about a month.”
“If so, I will show you in it. What are the practical benefits that a cooperative can have in one's life?.”
That's what he wanted from the beginning.
Not the illusion of a cooperative, but proof of the benefits that can be gained from that illusion..
“Did you see the grandson??”
“They never get tired of going to war with the demonic cult..”
“Then it'll be easier to talk about..”
Before he knew it, Mok Ri-won raised his cup again..
I looked straight into Do Eungang’s eyes and smiled..
“You will see with your own eyes the benefits that can be gained through cooperation within a month..”
After saying those words of affirmation, Mok Ri-won stood up..
“See you in a month.”
Even at that moment, Do Eungang just looked down at his glass with an incomprehensible expression..

War is about to start again.
However, it was not a sudden war..
7Years ago, from the moment so many powerful people died at the border of Xinjiang, no, from the moment Wei Guangtian went on a rampage in the Qinglong Feiwu Emperor, and beyond that, from the moment the Demonic Cult secretly invaded the central plains under the name of the Top of the World, it was a determined war. Is there anything new about it?.
However, there was one difference from the last war..
The point is that the midfielder did not let down his guard..
Many people who remember the crushing defeat sharpened their swords just for today..
Gupa, who is said to be the pillar of Baekdo martial arts, unfastened the seal and came out..
The five generations, known as the giants of power, declared their participation..
Following them, numerous small and medium-sized Bangpa raised their swords high, and in the midst of them.
“Fellow disciples of Baekdo Martial Arts, listen up!!”
There was a Baekdo Murim Alliance.
“We will defeat the evil enemies of the Demonic Cult once again! There will be no defeat like 7 years ago! Because it was time for that! Because two defeats are like a shame!”
One day, Kang Ho walked west to a loud speech..
In the meantime, Mokriwon met some familiar faces..
“neck aww!”
1It was Yongbongdan..
At the grand conference held once again, the leading figures of the powerful and prestigious families visited Wuhan..
“Zhuge brother!”
“Sir, it's been a while. It's been a long time since I'm a Jegal lord..”
Zhugeshan was the first, followed by Ilun, putting his hands together and saying hello..
After that, Hyeun appeared..
“I heard the news. I heard that Mr. Jegal goes around harassing women with children.?”
“Two things are wrong. It’s not ‘a-nyeo-ja’, it’s ‘a-nyeo-ja’. It's not harassment, it's love.”
“Wow, shameless..”
Hyewoon made a bored face..
Danghwaseo looked at Hyeun with a face that had a lot to say..
Hyewoon said in a grumpy tone..
“Well, why?.”
“…no. I'm not even a member anymore so I shouldn't worry about it.”
“I know it's more annoying to say that.?”
“What are you going to do if you get annoyed??”
Hyeun stopped retorting at Danghwaseo's tone, which was dripping with patheticness..
Mokriwon laughed at the still-same looks..
The reason why the entire Moorim remains unchanged even when the sun is shining makes me feel at ease..
“So, sir, our juniors are well.?”
Mokriwon answered Hyeun’s question..
“Don't even talk. They say war is coming, so no one comes out of the training hall to train..”
“What kind of dance competition are you participating in? It leaves a lot of people.”
“7Years ago, Monk Hyeun also did the same..”
“Let me say it again?”
“….”
It was the moment when Mok Riwon’s mouth fell shut..
“Oh, there he comes..”
“That person is always late.”
Zhugeshan spoke while looking into the distance, and Hyeun added a word..
Mokriwon also looked in that direction..
A very familiar face was approaching with a confident gait..
“You look really stupid.”
It was the moment Hyewoon muttered..
“What did you say?.”
Namgung Jincheon.
He asked back with a solemn face.,
“Dad, you're stupid!”
Namgoongyoung, who was on his back, laughed and answered for me..
“Dad, you idiot.?”
“Not like that.”
It was a shocking appearance by Geomchi Namgung Jincheon..
