The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 43
〈 43Tue 〉 Ojang Yongbong Branch (16）
* * *
Seongnyeonmun Gate.
11great disciple.
And Somoonju.
Namgoonghyuk was able to understand the three meanings contained in one word..
“He was alive..”
The sword master Mok Seon-oh has not yet changed his command..
Namgoonghyuk felt willing..
As a result, the momentum that could not be contained erupted violently, and Mokriwon gasped under the pressure..
“where is it.”
Namgoonghyuk asked again..
For some reason, there was a shiny light in his eyes..
“Where is Geomsung? Yes, the King of Geolguk will be with Geomseong too, right? tell me.”
All the energy that makes up the space screams.
Crushed and crushed and thrown to the floor.
The energy that just flowed out, without fully revealing its power..
It was a phenomenon that just happened..
Transcendence (？？之)？）.
The supreme state that only those who are considered the best among all the talents of this wide midfield powerhouse can barely step on the threshold was pressing down on Mokriwon with such a distant aura..
“Big…!”
Mok Ri-won widened his eyes..
I somehow managed to hold on to my shaky legs and maintain the martial arts stance..
It feels like someone is grabbing my neck and strangling me..
A dazed feeling as if he would faint at any moment occurred to him, but Mok Ri-won did not collapse..
“To say… You can not.”
“The reason is?”
“…This is why the Sword King did not tell me the reason why he was looking for Master. I don't want to do anything that would endanger my Master's safety..”
Mok Ri-won stared straight at Nam Gung-hyuk..
Namgoonghyuk pressed Mokriwon down and looked into his eyes..
Eyes showing firm determination and commitment.
Namgoonghyuk remained silent as if he was thinking about something, but soon regained his energy..
“…It's absolutely right. As a warrior and as a disciple.”
Namgoonghyuk said that and then continued..
“He looked undignified. Don't apologize.”
He is a very young junior..
Also, he is a man who came to courtesy without even knowing the English language..
Namgoonghyuk felt embarrassed for not being able to capture the emotions of the moment even though he was facing such a man..
It was only then that Mok Riwon let out a sigh as his breathing began to clear..
Then I bowed my head deeply..
“thank you for your consideration.”
“One thing, I will ask again. Where is Geomsung?.”
Mok Riwon’s body trembled..
A look of embarrassment began to form on my face..
‘It's in place.’
Conversation is not progressing.
He didn't have the ferocity that Mile-seok spoke of, but his mischievous nature was so embarrassing that I thought that ferocity would be better..
“sorry….”
“I don't mean to cause harm.”
Mokriwon’s head was raised..
Namgoonghyuk continued speaking with his characteristic stern expression as if he were reciting..
“There are just some resources that need to be sorted out..”
“It's called Eunwon.….”
“I haven't settled with him yet. I have to dance.”
Mo Liwon kept his mouth shut..
That's why Mileseok's words passed through my mind for a moment..
King of Swords, do you know how shameless that guy is? If you say you danced with your brother, you will lose 100 battles! He stubbornly clung to a topic he had never won and said, 'I haven't decided yet.' He's a funny guy. That guy doesn't even hit me with a match. What about the Sword King(？King)? He’s better suited as Geomchi(？？)?.
It was something I deeply sympathized with..
Although it was a remark that contained Miles' biased views, Mok Ri-won could not help but sympathize with his words..
‘What should I do?….’
Mokriwon was worried..
First of all, it was clear that he didn't have any ill feelings toward him..
That's because even though he already knows everything about himself, he doesn't even mention the 'cheon' character for his character..
That's it, he didn't express any negative feelings towards him even when he asked about the location of the Sword Saint..
Just a good win.
That was all I could see from Sword King Namgoong Hyuk..
“…Can I ask you one question?.”
“speak.”
“Why do you want to dance with Master?.”
“….”
There was a change in Namgoong Hyuk’s expression for the first time..
At first glance, the appearance seemed absurd..
“Do you need a reason?”
Namgoonghyuk really couldn't understand..
There is a strong person who has not been able to surpass it in his entire life..
In the end, there is a game left to be regretted..
If it's an unmanned person, it's also a swordsman..
It's actually strange to give up and retreat when you have someone like that..
“I just want to compete.”
“….”
Mok Riwon felt utterly devastated..
When was the last time you felt this way?.
10It was the first time since one day when I was about 30 years old, Mile-seok said, ‘I want to eat meat today,’ and threw a noose to catch a rabbit..
Mokriwon felt drained..
At the same time, I had a sudden conviction, and it was about the answer Namgoong Hyuk was urging me to give..
“…You are in Gangseo Province. I can't say more than this.”
“Kang Seo-seong. I heard you clearly.”
Namgoong Hyuk’s expression hardened again..
It was a face that seemed somewhat satisfied..
Mok Riwon thought to himself..
‘There won't be any accidents.’
Whatever it was, it seemed like Namgoong Hyuk's business was done with business..
“Now go out.”
Namgoonghyuk said that and closed his eyes..
It was a statement without any regret whatsoever..
Seeing that sight, Mok Ri-won remembered that he wanted to resolve the small anxiety that still remained within him..
“…Can I ask you one thing??”
“Something.”
“It seems like the King of Swords doesn't have any special feelings for me. The star that definitely came down to me….”
“Is it important??”
“…yes?”
Namgoonghyuk opened his eyes..
After finishing his business, his eyes were full of indifference..
“Do you think that stars alone determine a sword??”
Mok Riwon’s eyes widened slightly..
Namgoonghyuk snorted while looking at that face..
“No matter what happens, in the end, you are the swordsman. That's all..”
Sword King Namgung Hyuk.
He was a man who truly dedicated his life to the sword..
To him, nothing was important other than the act of swinging the sword..
This was the same on the day the blood death ended..
Don't be funny. Are you saying you're going to lay down your sword now??
I'm not saying I'm going to lay down my sword. I'm saying I'm going to put my name down..
If I rip that lump of blood to death, will you reconsider??
Sword King, my decision will not change..
….
He was a man who had not the slightest interest in Mok Riwon's birth..
If you really pay attention, it's all about the sword he learned and his martial arts skills..
“Now go out.”
“…Yes, excuse me.”
Mo Liwon felt his stomach churning with emotions that he did not know what to say..
For someone who was born with the fate of being criticized by the entire midfield, it was very touching to meet someone who did not have to hide his origins and who did not deny his existence..
Even if it is indifference rather than consideration.
Mo Ri-won turned around and walked out of the shelter..
Namgoonghyuk then looked at his back and thought..
‘That guy is much better.’
It was a comparison between Namgung Jincheon, my grandson, and Mok Riwon..
‘It would be worth seeing.’
The warrior in the realm of transcendence was convinced.
The king cannot overcome the devil.
I just know how to be arrogant, and I have trapped my world in that arrogance, so it will eventually collapse..
One, the important thing is what comes next.
‘indeed….’
Will my grandson shed his arrogance and move forward, or will he be consumed by his emotions and fall apart?.
Whatever it was, I felt like I needed to be prepared..
*
Jangwon steps forward again.
With a sad heart, Mo Ri-won headed towards the pond in a corner of the manor..
It was a fairly cool pond with green pine trees providing ample shade..
‘It's just an inspection.’
Mokriwon reflected on those words..
Then I smiled slightly..
‘Yes, I am a swordsman. He is a person who forms alliances with the sword..’
there was joy.
There was also an overwhelming feeling..
While Mo Ri-won was thinking back on those words and smiling, he felt that an image that had been hidden in the fog was starting to appear blurry..
It was supposed to be some kind of small realization..
Mu(?) and cooperation(?), and righteousness(?) and sword(？）.
It was a realization about its essence..
It was a realization that was quite difficult to grasp as it was a blurry light, almost like a thought, but Mok Ri-won was not in a hurry..
‘I guess I should go back and meditate..’
As long as it appears so vaguely, enlightenment will be within my grasp, as it always has been..
My hands were itching..
I wanted to go ahead and swing my sword..
With that in mind, I was getting up in a hurry..
“Hehe….”
A very young voice was heard from a short distance away..
Mokriwon remembered the feeling of ‘oops’..
I was so lost in my thoughts that I felt ashamed that I didn't even know someone was approaching..
Mok Riwon turned his head..
What was there was a young girl, probably no more than five or six years old, with a blank expression and a blushing face..
“hmm?”
“Hehe….”
The girl's eyes shined dreamily..
It was quite lovely to see the chubby cheeks burning bright red..
‘Is this a son of the Namgung family??’
I couldn't help but think that the clothes the girl was wearing were clothes that could be seen at a glance to be made of precious materials..
“Baby, who are you??”
Mok Ri-won asked with a bright smile..
The girl was startled by that smile and her eyes lit up..
“cow, child….”
“Yes, you are Soa. Have you lost your way??”
A question I asked because I was wearing such precious clothes but no one was there to look after me..
The girl who introduced me as Soa shook her head and answered..
“No this….”
And then I wiggled my fingertips..
While Mokriwon was tilting his head at that,.
wobble.
So-ah hugged Mok Ri-won’s leg..
“West…!”
So-ah closed her eyes tightly and shouted again..
“It's Seobu.…!”
Mok Riwon was embarrassed..
It had to be that way..
A child comes out and calls me ‘Sir’, who in the world wouldn’t be embarrassed?.
Mok Ri-won smiled, scratching his cheek as if he was troubled, then patted So-ah's head and said,.
“I'm sorry. I am not your husband.”
Kugoong!
So-ah looked at Mok-ri-won in despair, as if the world had collapsed..
“no…?”
“No.”
It was a pity.
Mok Ri-won was a man with good intelligence and good sense, but apart from that, he was still very ignorant about human beings..
This was especially true for children..
Mok Ri-won, who has only known people of the same age as his elders, has no understanding of the child's childhood or the yearning he harbors..
Crying appeared on So-ah's face..
“The West is gone….”
“It is wrong to say that it has disappeared. What has disappeared means that what existed has disappeared, and since So-Ah's Seobang-nim did not exist in the first place, a more correct expression would be 'there is no Seobang-nim'..”
Mok Ri-won smiled with satisfaction as he remembered that he had spoken coherently on the topic..
One, it was a handshake.
“Hi!…!”
For a child, the truth was such a heavy burden..
Soa’s crying became more intense..
Mok Riwon expressed embarrassment at that..
“Why, why are you crying?…!”
“Seobang…!”
“huh? West? Are you crying because you are not here? No need to cry! When you grow up and become an adult, you will definitely meet a wonderful person.!”
“Seobang…!”
“You, you are still too young to make a master! So stop it!”
Mo Ri-won pushed the child without even taking a breath..
At this point, it would have been acceptable to say, 'I am your servant,' but it was difficult to expect from Mok Ri-won, who only knew how to speak the truth..
For the first time in her life, this girl, who is called Namgung Soa with her surname and surname, met someone with whom she was not related..
After all, he is an eye-popping and incredibly handsome man..
It would be nice if he got angry, but Mok Ri-won's appearance was very unconventional..
Anyway, in Namgung So-ah’s life, there was no face that made him feel angry just by looking at him like this..
In the end, it's something that can be done.
Until it doesn't work.
As her uncle Changseonggeom Namgoongun always said, Namgoong Soah demonstrated persistence for the first time in her life..
“West!”
Namgung Soa clung to Mokriwon’s leg like a cicada..
Mo Ri-won felt his heart sink at the loud cry..
Meanwhile.
“Soya.”
The man's voice echoed in the space..
It was Namgung Jincheon..
Namgung So-ah lifted his head and looked at Namgung Jincheon..
“…Brother?”
“Come here.”
Namgung Jincheon waved his hand with an indifferent expression..
Then, Namgung Soa hesitantly looked at Mok Riwon and Namgung Jincheon alternately, then pouted his lips and turned to Namgung Jincheon..
Namgung Jincheon held Namgung Soa in his arms..
Then I looked at Mokriwon and was silent..
“….”
“….”
It was an uncomfortable silence.
At the end, Namgung Jincheon asked in a voice that didn't contain as much emotion as a grain of rice..
“Mukgeom, do you have a hobby for pedophilia??”
“no!”
Mokriwon felt like he was going crazy with injustice..
