Chapter 6
Giju was a mysterious treasure that allowed one to breathe even underwater..
I borrowed that strength and came up to land comfortably..
Namhae Yongmun gave me various things in return for saving me, and the amount was not small..
A unique scene unfolded where the coast was filled with gold and silver treasures instead of sand..
“welcome! main bridge!”
Lee Uichae said with his eyes fixed on gold and silver treasures..
I explained the situation so far, but I spoke well even though my mind was preoccupied elsewhere..
“Stop watching that, let's talk..”
“story?… … iced coffee!
Isn't this person Ganyaja, the best night master in the world, whose name is known not only in the South Sea but also in the central plains??”
Lee Ui-chae looked at the liver palm tree and bowed..
“Who are you??”
Too much flattery is not good.
Ganyaja looked at Lee Ui-chae with an expression asking what this crazy guy is..
“It's an honor to meet you..
My name is Lee Eui-chae, and I am the owner of Geumui Sangdan..”
“Lee Uichae? So you are the king??”
Although the Geumui Sangdan was not active in the South Sea, its name was well known..
In particular, if it was a night market the size of a liver palm tree, I had no choice but to know because it was related to the commercial world..
If you want to try something more difficult or new, you need to get the corresponding valuable or good materials..
If you don't have it in Namhae, you have to get it from Jungwon, but as you go through distribution, you will find it with a gold top..
“you're right. I am King Sang, Yi Uichae..”
Lee Uichae patted his thick stomach and grinned..
“Hmm, hmm. Nice to meet you. I'm going to go to the middle of the day..”
Ganyaja’s gaze towards Lee Uichae changed..
Considering that his attitude did not change even though he knew about the king, it seems that it was his personality not to use honorifics..
When I asked him later, I was told that in the case of the Dragon King of the South Sea, he was also called king and that it was a courtesy to the old man..
“Now, let's move to a different location and talk..
I have prepared a drink fit for the supreme leader..”
“The ultimate field commander, hehehe! Where did you prepare alcohol??”
Even though I pretended not to, I could see that I liked it..
Just a moment ago, I was displeased with it rather than liking it, but now it's different..
Joo Seo-cheon recalled what Lee Ui-chae said before..
‘No one likes compliments.
What matters is who is giving the compliment..’
‘what does that mean?’
‘You can think of it as the difference between being praised by a local Parakho and being praised by the Murim Lord..
It is especially important for people like Yajang who have devoted their lives to their field to be recognized by others..
You may think that you know something if you are recognized by someone in the middle of nowhere, but it is different when you are recognized by a great person in a similar field or who has an influence on the whole..’
He wasn't a king for nothing.
I've known it for a long time, but manipulating people is amazing..
As a human being, he may not have been the best, but as a merchant, he was the best in the world..
Lee Ui-chae moved with Ganyaja and Ju Seo-cheon..
It was not a barracks set up on the beach..
It was a blacksmith shop, the residence of Ganyaja..
“Oh, you're here.?”
When I arrived at the blacksmith shop, Zhuge Heir greeted me..
I was covered in sweat because of the heat from the anvil..
He was so handsome that women would say he was bewitching when they saw him..
“I guess I can live now that I'm home.”
I usually lived in a place full of fire, but now that I was living in an underwater cave full of water, I experienced a lot of discomfort..
Environmental factors have a greater impact on people than we think..
Hospitality at a guesthouse is not bad, but since I was away from home for a while, it was okay to choose to stay at home..
“Zhuge Confucius, could you show me the blueprint??”
Lee Uichae made a request while taking out alcohol on the table..
Zhuge Heir handed over the blueprint as if he had been waiting for it..
“I like it because it gets straight to the point without any introduction..”
Ganyaja liked to get straight to the point like this rather than just going back and forth..
“where……”
I pass my drink down my throat and look at the blueprint..
But the moment he saw the blueprint, his expression changed..
The hand holding the drink was also transferred to the blueprint..
I forgot to breathe and checked the blueprints..
I watched the first one quickly, but I watched the second and third slowly and carefully..
“Who designed this??”
Ganyaja asked with her eyes fixed on the blueprint..
“That's me.”
Zhuge Succession placed his hands on his hips and answered proudly..
“He is said to be the successor to Zhuge Confucius. You are a genius in the field of institutions..
That skill is guaranteed in the name of the king..”
Ganyaja stood up after Lee Uichae's introduction..
When Zhuge Emperor tried to approach Ganyaja with his bright eyes flashing, he was inadvertently startled and took a step back..
I tried to call Joo Seo-cheon's name as if he was going to eat me at any moment, but before I could, Ganyaja held out his hand..
“Nice to meet you. I am very sorry for the delay in greeting you..
It is a rare plant that touches iron in the South Sea..”
“……!”
Not only the parties involved, but also Joo Seo-cheon and Lee Eui-chae were surprised..
It was Ganyaja who had always maintained an indifferent attitude, regardless of whether it was a swordsman or a king..
But as soon as I saw the blueprint, I was treated with courtesy..
“I have a few questions about the blueprints, don't mind asking.?”
“I'm going to ask?”
The scared look he had just moments ago was nowhere to be found, and his eyes lit up when the government became involved..
Zhuge Succession excitedly answered Ganyaja's question..
“We were prepared to do everything we could to bring him to the midfield, but it looks like there's no need for that..”
Lee Uichae said, wiping away sweat with his sleeve..
Joo Seocheon also nodded in agreement..
* * *
In conclusion, the inclusion of Ganyaja was successful..
As soon as the conversation ended, I received an answer that I would cooperate..
The Zhuge Dynasty was as excited as a fish out of water, and spent all day and night conversing in his studio with Gan Yaza..
Perhaps because we were geniuses in similar fields, we got along well..
“It's been a while since I've seen a successor so happy..”
Deep down, I thought it was a good decision to bring him to Namhae..
“That's right. By the way, it's a great opportunity, but it's very unfortunate that I can't interact with Namhae Yongmun..”
Lee Uichae tried to expand his business when he came to Namhae..
Among them, I paid attention to the mermaid and the Namhae Dragon Gate..
The gift given by Namhae Yongmun was full of expensive and rare items..
It was to the point where gold and silver treasures were left behind..
There were pearls that you could gaze at with fascination, and even candles made with mermaid oil that would never go out..
“It is said that there is a candle in Qin Shi Huang's tomb that will never go out, but it seems it was not a legend but a fact..”
It's not really mermaid oil..
The mermaid, Yongmundo Island in the South Sea, was just a special manufacturer of whale oil..
I asked if I could sell the recipe, just in case, but was flatly refused..
It is said that technology given by the sea cannot be leaked to the land..
“Just in case, I tell you, don’t be greedy for no reason..
It's a good idea to keep the candles hidden as much as possible..”
“Of course.”
Lee Uichae is a greedy pig, but he is not stupid..
It is a great loss to betray Joo Seocheon’s trust..
It would have been better to throw away the candles at Namhae Yongmun Gate..
“Perhaps the reason why the Namhae Dragon Gate was able to maintain its existence without being revealed was because of its closed nature..”
New things cause change.
However, Namhae Yongmun does not want to interact with anyone..
It was a flaw that it was closed, but it was also wise..
“Then I'll get ready to go back..
I would like to ask you to speak to Haenam Geompaju..”
Instead, we signed a partnership with Haenam Geompa..
Haenam Island has many resources, including iron mines, in addition to tropical fruits and seafood..
I was planning on continuing to trade..
Of course, the story roughly ended..
Through Ganyaja's connections, the construction of Geumui Sangdan's Haenam branch began..
Joo Seo-cheon visited Wi Il-hae..
“I've been in a lot of trouble during this time..”
“Nope. I really owe you a lot.
Didn't he not only save the disciples of the original sect, but also bring them peace? Also, I was indebted to him for cleaning up after that..”
Wei Yi-hae greeted Zhou Seo-cheon and Zhuge Suran..
“I will never forget this debt.
If there is anything you want, please tell me..”
“I would be satisfied as long as you lend us your strength next time we are in danger..”
“Haenam Geompa is also a political faction affiliated with the Murim Alliance..
It's natural to help when the midfielder is in danger..
Is there anything else besides that??”
“Then, I would like to ask you to subdue the Japanese pirates..”
Bangjun cannot be the only Japanese pirate cooperating with Amcheonhoe..
Although Bangjun is the biggest force, there may be others..
In addition, securing a transportation route was necessary for safe transactions between Geumui Sangdan and Namhae in the future..
“Isn’t that something we should naturally do?.”
“There is nothing else. Really.
I also just did the obvious thing..”
“They say he's a hero, but he really is..”
Even though I helped him, he didn't expect anything from me..
It was not the Hwasan faction that asked for help, but the Jungwon martial arts group..
“Well then, see you next time..”
Greetings were exchanged briefly..
I was a little worried that something might have happened in midfield..
Haenam Geompa was also busy with negotiations and all..
Jeon Soo-guk also regretted not being able to talk more..
He said he owed me his life and took care of various things for me..
After some time, we boarded the ship heading to Jungwon again..
“I celebrated the New Year in Namhae after a long time, but somehow I couldn't enjoy it and ended up running away at night..”
Dan Lihwa looked at Haenam Island and muttered regretfully..
“What do you think about Geomshin??
Underwater relationship with mermaids……”
“Jegal Soje, what do you usually talk about at the Yongfeng branch??”
Ju Seocheon asked Zhuge Suran.
Zhuge Suran lowered his head and blushed..
It was a reaction that didn’t require an answer..
I headed to Jungwon to avoid Kimunjin in Haenam Island..
Everyone was quite exhausted from seasickness..
“Armor made of 10,000 years of iron?”
“yes.”
As a native of Haenam Island, Ganyaja was used to boats and didn't mind..
Since we had time to spare, we talked..
First of all, I briefly explained the situation in the midfield..
Ganyaja showed interest in Yogwang's story..
“Hwacheomchang?”
As a field leader, he showed interest because he was a new recruit..
“Hey, does that really exist? That's amazing.”
Like a female pole, its length decreases and increases, and it even emits flames..
It is truly a weapon made by God..
“do you believe?”
“The South Sea Dragon King has something called the Water Dragon Spear, which allows him to control water without consuming internal energy..
There is something like that, but isn’t there something called Hwacheomchang?.
Amazing, but not unbelievable.”
I was lucky that I didn't fight the South Sea Dragon King underwater..
If that were the case, it would have been quite a struggle..
There are also pearls that allow you to breathe underwater..
“What do you think of the armor??”
“If not just one part but the entire body is made of iron, it is most likely the black iron armor of Emperor Qin Shi Huang..”
“Black iron armor?”
“Who would be able to scrape together those precious millenniums? None other than Qin Shi Huang, who mobilized 700,000 people to build the tomb and connect the Great Wall..”
“Is it really true that the whole body lasts forever?……”
“It's just a legend, so I don't know if it's true..
If you bring it in front of me, I'll at least give it some emotion..”
If you can bring it.
‘Qin Shi Huang……’
In his later years, he was obsessed with superstition and created absurd things..
Isn't the blood demon's black crown also a legal treasure from the Qin Dynasty?.
“It's land!”
A sailor's cries were heard outside the cabin..
‘You have arrived. Will anything happen in the midfield??’
In seas where storms were frequent, most of the ships could not return even if they were flown, and training was almost impossible..
The only way to communicate or obtain information was by boat, but even that was closed due to the South Sea Dragon Gate..
‘I hope nothing bad happened……’
Kwaaang!
“What, what?!”
Ganyaja sat down on the floor in embarrassment..
A deafening roar erupted and the ship shook violently..
For a moment, I thought the Imoogi hit me..
‘No, that can't be possible.!’
Joo Seocheon opened the cabin door and hurried out..
“Is there a problem!”
“main captain!”
Choryeon pointed to the rear with an urgent expression..
Joo Seocheon turned and checked the back of the boat..
“rock?”
There was a rock the size of a house..
Instead of coming up quietly, more than half of the rear was destroyed..
I'm sorry. simplicity and honesty!
The cause of the impact was determined, but cracks began to form due to the weight and the ship was about to sink..
Even if it was a ship prepared by Geumui Sangdan, it couldn't have survived being hit by a rock that was deliberately thrown at it..
I tried to remove the rock, but it was already too late..
The degree of damage was severe..
The water began to rise and sink..
“Evacuate immediately……”
Boom.
The air rang.
The sound of the wave became louder..
A large shadow falls over the hull..
There was no need to check.
It was the rock that had just smashed the cove..
“It's impossible!”
Joo Seocheon’s body rose vertically..
I didn't just run.
Care was taken not to irritate the sinking hull..
Joo Seocheon, who flew up like a bee rather than a butterfly, stretched out his hand when he saw another rock the size of a house..
If we keep destroying it like this, the people below will be in danger..
So I pushed it out with my palm and threw the rock away..
Powwow!
A rock fell on the sea and a column of water rose up..
As the waves rolled heavily, the hull also shook..
I tried to keep it far away, but unfortunately, because it was the ocean, I couldn't block the impact of the waves..
“Ahh! Ahh! older brother! older brother!”
“Lord Daehyup! Lord Daehyup! main bridge!”
Zhuge Succession and Yi Yi-chae were scared and screamed..
“Shit! What kind of fuss is this?!”
Before Ganyaja even stepped foot on the central plain, she swore and said that she would become food for fish..
There was no such thing as father-in-law.
“get off the boat!”
“run away!”
The sailors and warriors worked together to lower the boat..
Two ships each were disembarked on the port and starboard sides..
however……
“Ahhhhh!”
A shadow falls again.
But there were not one, but five..
Each one was a big rock..
“Shit!”
I didn't have time to hit them one by one..
The problem was that they flew at the same time..
Joo Seocheon landed on the ship, then soared upward once again, blowing away a nearby rock..
But there are still four left.
No matter how much he was a swordsman, he couldn't do anything if he didn't have the divine law to move freely in the air like the Eight Cloud Dragons..
So I had no choice but to use a different number, even taking the damage into account..
‘Jahaji!’
I snapped my ten fingers at the same time..
The mass of energy accumulated between the fingers burst out and drew a line..
The purple line drew a long trail like a shooting star and pierced the rock that had not yet fallen..
Pow! Quang! Cooung!
Jahaji’s power was unusual..
A rock the size of a house was shattered by just a few wires..
But unfortunately, I was only able to stop three..
There was only one left, and it fell on Zhuge Heir's head..
“Wow!!”
“Bow your head.”
At the critical moment of restraint, Li Dan Lihua appeared and swung his sword..
The sword drawn from top to bottom creates a straight line so clean that the viewer is impressed..
Suddenly!
It was a two-sided affair, no, a two-edged sword..
The rock split in two and fell on both sides..
Kwaaaaang!
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
People disembarking boats in both counties were scared..
I almost got swept away by a rock and ended up in a state of poverty..
Fortunately, he passed by in the nick of time and saved his life..
But after that, there was a problem with rock fragments falling overhead..
The debris falling like a rain was a weapon..
“Wow!”
“Pfft!”
It was a big deal to have my body torn apart..
If you're unlucky, there are people who get stuck in the head and die instantly..
In the meantime, Yanghyeon's ships were also destroyed one by one, which was a problem..
“Prioritize the injured, those who cannot swim, and those who do not know martial arts on board the boat.!”
Joo Seocheon shouted while blocking the rock fragments..
“The land is just around the corner, so if you swim with all your might you will get there.!”
“Lord Daehyup! let's see the port!”
Ju Seo-cheon turned his attention to Zhuge Suran’s words..
It was not that far away so I could see it clearly..
There were several boats parked in front of the port and dock..
Several large ships were seen..
“catapult?”
A catapult was visible through a hole between the outstretched sails of a large ship..
I couldn't see it clearly, but it seemed like there were several..
“Amcheonhoe!”
Joo Seocheon clenched his teeth..
“Chun -gi, this dog!”
Somehow I thought it was flat.
‘It's a mistake!’
The problem was not just the Japanese pirates in cooperation with Amcheonhoe..
I was anxious about setting foot on my hometown..
‘What happened to Sadocheon??’
The land in front of you, Guangdong, is the territory of Sado Heaven..
Before departing for Haenam Island, the Murim League requested cooperation from Sadocheon..
‘No, it's not just the apostles..’
The Murim League also hid its identity and was in Guangdong to welcome Joo Seo-cheon and his party..
However, seeing the dock like that meant that something had happened to the Guangdong branch's Murim League or Sadocheon..
‘Not good.’
I was able to survive somehow.
But other people are the problem.
I was concerned about the Zhuge succession, Yi Uichae, and Ganyaja..
The rest of us have the skills to survive on our own..
“Even if it means risking one's life, Geumuigeommun must protect Sangdanju, Elder Ganyaja, Elder God, and the succession.!”
“number of people!”
The ship was completely destroyed..
It wouldn't be surprising if it sank right now..
I squeaked and screamed..
Zhuge Seung-gye, Gan Ya-ja, and Zhuge Suran boarded the ship on the port side..
Because Lee Uichae was heavy, it had to be ridden separately..
“Damn you! That's why I should have lost weight sooner.!”
Monk Hwabyeok grumbled while carrying Lee Uichae on his back..
“God, please bow your head well.!”
Choryun ran with Sinui under her side..
“I'm loading!”
Zhuge Suran did not lose his composure despite the chaos..
Even while evacuating, he kept an eye out for enemies and warned them..
‘What a bastard.!’
I prepared really well.
Aiming to control information, they also prepared a trap for Japanese pirates and aimed to return home after exhausting their energy..
Catapults were also an enemy, but a commendable choice..
I aimed for the sea where there was nowhere to retreat or hide..
I even realized that it was dangerous without a boat..
What was most horrifying was the catapult, which boasted a perfect hit rate by calculating ocean currents and ship speeds..
“I can't see the catapult because of the ships at the dock..
You have to be careful..”
Zhuge Suran's voice was not loud, but was audible..
“……sorry. Confucius.”
I should have noticed before I got closer..
But I didn't know anything until the rock flew by..
“No, it's not Zhuge Xiaoze's fault..”
The Amcheonhoe was so detailed..
The catapult was hidden using a large ship at the dock..
As if nothing had happened, he disguised himself as a sailor and created a scene no different from usual..
I didn't know if the dock in Guangdong was their hometown, but since they had only been there once, for a short time, I was fooled..
When I checked from a distance, I would have been suspicious if there was no one on the dock or if there was a fire..
In addition, there were also factors such as motion sickness and storms that consumed energy..
“We are unable to help you on the sea at this time, so please behave yourself! I will only trust you!”
If things continue like this, I'm going to end up eating fish..
Joo Seocheon made a bold decision..
After landing using the sea as ground, I bent and straightened my knees and jumped forward as hard as I could..
“Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
It wasn't just about stretching the light attack to the maximum..
He spewed out his anger towards the front..
