Chapter 126
Episode 126: I will fight with condescension.
Seo Dae-ryong was taken aback when the woman approached..
“Huh? He's coming towards us.?”
“See, that's right.”
“They came because I beckoned them to come. Come and do it. Why did you call me? Right? Then you should answer like this. I called this guy here to make fun of him..”
As the woman came closer, Seo Dae-ryong's eyes opened and his mouth gradually opened. She was wearing a cotton thread, which gave it an even more mysterious feel. In Seo Dae-ryong’s eyes, she looked like a fairy who came down from the sky..
Of course she was Ian. She came to a halt in front of the two of them..
Geommugeuk said to Ian.
“I said I came with you, but you don't believe me.”
Then Ian smiled and said to Seo Dae-ryong:.
“Are you Inspector Seo? I heard a lot of words.”
Ian hid his original voice and spoke with modulation..
Seo Dae-ryong, who was surprised when the woman recognized him, sent a message to Geommugeuk..
―How do you know me?
―Because I said so.
―How? why? You never told me you knew this kind of beauty, right? With Gakju’s personality, there’s no way he wouldn’t have bragged about it! I have a good heart and a right arm, but I have the prettiest face.!
At a time when Seo Dae-ryong was busy sending me messages, Ian said with a smile..
“Lord, you are my right hand man.?”
At that moment, joy that could not be hidden appeared on Seo Dae-ryong's face. Isn’t this right-hand man position truly a precious and great position that many people are aiming for??
“Hey, you said all sorts of things.?”
Although he was embarrassed, Seo Dae-ryong's shoulders were rising to the sky..
“You also said this?”
“Which one??”
“Although he has a power-oriented and heartless personality, he is a man who loves only one woman. He is a rebellious yet pacifist who raises his hand when everyone else is silent, and he is a person who made a life-changing decision over a drink at the guesthouse.?”
Seo Dae-ryong was surprised. The beautiful woman in front of him was reciting exactly what he had said as a joke in the past. Seo Dae-ryong looked at the sword dance and made a bewildered expression..
“You introduced it in great detail..”
“Not only that, I heard that you also have regular drinking parties..”
“Even those words?”
Seo Dae-ryong was embarrassed. This beautiful woman knew too much about herself..
‘Why did you talk about me in such detail??’
But it didn't feel bad. How could it be unpleasant to know that a beautiful woman whom you may only see once in your life knows all about you??
Normally he was confident. He said that if someone were to use beauty techniques on him, he would never get caught. He lived his life with the mindset that the heart is more important than the appearance. This was even more so since it was a martial arts world where things that lied about one's age through magic tricks and sucked out the vitality of others ran wild..
But when I saw the woman in front of me, I thought that if such a woman really decided to seduce me, it would not be easy to refuse. Even though she had nothing to do with him, he felt like he wanted to look good..
“Don't you have drinking parties these days??”
“One person was missing, so we postponed it for a while..”
Seo Dae-ryong asked Geommugeuk belatedly, “Oops.”.
“ah! What about this drone??”
“I'm asking so quickly.”
Geommugeuk soon showed a gloomy expression..
“I won't be able to see you anymore.”
For a moment, Seo Dae-ryong was startled..
“why?”
“…….”
“no way? Isn't something wrong??”
“If there is?”
“Why are you doing this? Not fun. Even if you get hurt with other pranks, don't play pranks like this. It doesn't work for me.”
“It's no joke. I can't see that Ian anymore..”
Seo Dae-ryong stared at the sword dance and laughed..
“Shall I tell you the crucial reason why this prank doesn't work??”
“What is it?”
“It's because of each note..”
“me? why do i?”
“I went out with Mr. Gakju, but there was a problem with this warrior? This can't happen.”
Then suddenly Seo Dae-ryong had an idea somewhere..
“Ah, now that I think about it, footnote. You're so good.”
“What else??”
The next words flew out in full sound..
―Just because we met such a beautiful woman, we threw this person away. As a man, I understand, but I still can't do that to this warrior. I usually think about how much this warrior is. Where are you? They didn't send you to the training center to train as soon as you arrived, right? Oh, I'd be disappointed in the footnotes if I did..
―Hey, let me talk too..
―That's it. Give me this drone! No, I'll go find it myself..
Seo Dae-ryong smiled and asked Ian..
“Have you ever seen a woman with some charm??”
“Oh, I saw it..”
Seo Dae-ryong said to Geommugeuk with an expression that said,.
―This kind of joke doesn't work. I'm the top student at Hwangcheongak. And now from now on we will call it color footnotes..
―what did i do?
―You threw away this warrior and brought that beautiful woman! Oh, it was really bad. Suddenly, even that innocent beauty looks hateful..
Seo Dae-ryong said hello to Ian..
“See you next time then.”
Seo Dae-ryong sighed inwardly as he walked towards Ian's accommodation..
‘Oh, I didn't even ask your name. Well, it's not like I'll see you again anyway..’
At that time, Ian spoke from behind..
“He's not at the training center right now..”
“yes?”
How did this woman know that she was going to look for the training ground first??
When Seo Dae-ryong was surprised, Geommugeuk said something even more surprising..
“I relayed everything you sent me by message so far..”
Seo Dae-ryong was surprised..
―why?
―Speak with words, not with sound.
Seo Dae-ryong said with an expression that he couldn’t understand..
“No, why? Why are you sending a message to that person? No matter how beautiful you are, you're not like this, Gakju, are you? You got really weird..”
Then Ian said.
“I got weird too?”
What kind of strange thing is this again? At a time when Seo Dae-ryong was blinking, Ian took out a dagger from his arms..
It was the same dagger that was made by melting Gowol's iron shackles for 10,000 years ago..
As soon as Seo Dae-ryong saw the dagger, he was startled and questioned Geommugeuk..
“Why does he have a dagger??”
Seo Dae-ryong, who was looking at the sword dance with suspicious eyes, was startled..
“Could it be that you stole this unmanned dagger and gave it to Sojeo? No, right? That's yours.?”
“What's mine here? That's Ian, right?.”
When Geommugeuk took out his dagger and showed it to him, Seo Dae-ryong shouted..
“You really can't do this! You are doing it too much!”
For the first time, Seo Dae-ryong became angry with Geommugeuk..
Geommugeuk just smiled. As soon as he laughed, Seo Dae-ryong became even more angry..
“What on earth happened when you left? Are you crazy about women? This dagger was shared by the people who were with us that day, right? Of course, it was given by Gakju, but isn't it still a dagger that has great meaning for all of us? But you took this unmanned dagger and gave it to that woman? Who will you give to the next beauty? Well, I'll give it to you in advance, so take it. No, I can't take this. I will give my sword to this warrior..”
“I didn't know you cared for Ian this much..”
“I am a close friend with whom I can tell all my feelings. He's my drinking buddy..”
Then Ian said.
“Let's go have a drink.”
Seo Dae-ryong was shocked. No was said right away. Still, I gritted my teeth and spit out a refusal..
“I'm in a bit of trouble right now..”
Seo Dae-ryong sighed inwardly..
‘I can't believe a beautiful woman I'll never see again refuses to drink! Why did we meet in this situation? Ah, is there ever such a blessed life??’
But still, Ian came first..
“Now I have to take care of my drinking friend who got abandoned. Well then, that's it.”
“Thank you for thinking of me this much..”
Seo Dae-ryong looked at Ian with an expression that asked what he was saying..
Ian took off the cotton yarn that was wrapped around him. At that moment, it felt like light was emanating from my face..
Seo Dae-ryong's eyes widened at the beautiful face revealed, but his expression soon hardened. Now is not the time to admire the beauty in front of you..
“Still not going! I can't go!”
“I promised to drink all night long when I got back.?”
“yes?”
“It's me. Ian.”
Seo Dae-ryong, caught in a crucible of chaos, just blinked..
“The three of you and Prince Jang decided to go to Daecheon Mountain to see the autumn leaves in the fall and drink while snowing in the winter.?”
Seo Dae-ryong was startled when Ian used his original voice..
“Is your voice correct? Is this really a warrior??”
“yes, it's me.”
“…… That's not true?”
“I'll tell you everything about what happened while we're drinking while Lord Jang is here..”
Since it was Ian who was speaking, Seo Dae-ryong only then realized that it was Ian..
“You really are this warrior.!”
Seo Dae-ryong looked at the sword dance for a final confirmation. Geommugeuk nodded his head once and confirmed..
“What's wrong? Colored footnotes? I'm crazy about women?”
“iced coffee! sorry!”
Geommugeuk smiled at him who was still confused..
“no. Well done. You got a lot of points from Ian today..”
Then Ian said loudly.
“I'll drink all the alcohol today..”
“Aaaah! great.”
Ian said while watching the sword dance performance.
“Can we go for a drink? I also bring you Lord Jang..”
The expression on her face that she was dying to tell me how difficult the poison purification technique was and how wonderful and fun the trip was was made Geommugeuk smile..
“Drink to your heart’s content today.!”
Geommugeuk, who was watching the excitement of Ian and Seo Dae-ryong, slowly walked towards Cheonmajeon..
* * *
Cheonmajeon remained unchanged..
My father was sitting across the bloody road. I slowly walked the red carpet to where my father was..
I was so happy to see my father again. I never thought I would be so happy to see that blunt expression and eyes..
“Father, have you been well? I thought I would die without seeing my father..”
I bowed deeply to my father..
“It looks like he came back from a war somewhere..”
“We fought a big war.”
“It was because I was needlessly interfering with the affairs of the Apostolic Alliance..”
“It wasn't useless. At least Bisain decided that we would be better to control than Sarok Guan Chu's grandson..”
Originally, it would have been accurate to say he was a better person, but he said he was better at manipulating. My father absolutely hated and was wary of hasty evaluations of people..
“It would have been more advantageous for us to have Seok Gwan-chu's grandson become our successor..”
“why is that so?”
“That guy is much greedier..”
“Wouldn’t Moorim be more confused instead??”
“What does that have to do with us??”
I know that those words are sincere. Because our school has become more powerful as Moorim becomes more chaotic..
father. But we can't grow by drinking blood forever, right??
“Why didn't you come back right away? Aren't you concerned that your brother is taking control of the Magons??”
“I'm worried.”
“But why?”
“I didn't intend to make every mazone mine..”
“why?”
“Then your brother will be cornered..”
“!”
“Then, my brother will end up making the worst and irreversible choice. It's a choice I can't just ignore. Didn't I tell you that bloodshed in the succession struggle will stop at my generation??”
My father couldn't hide his surprise..
“Are you saying you're going to open your pores for that reason? Did you really think that far??”
“I have to do it. When I think about how big and great what I gain by fighting is, I have to think deeper and further than that. I will fight like this while showing condescension to my father and using my head..”
My father stared at me in silence. I also quietly looked at my father..
“I also have one question..”
“What is it?”
“Were you at all worried about me when Sarcophagus Chu or his master Baek Mang-gi moved??”
“I didn't do it.”
“Why didn't you do it? Do you trust me that much??”
“I didn't trust you. I believed in the worst.”
“I believed in the evil Soma.?”
“Yes, if he was by your side, it would definitely be because he thought it was a fight worth fighting. I believed in the worst judgment.”
“Please trust your son from now on..”
“If we had used you as the standard at the time, our school should have gone out to save you..”
“ah! When will I become a trusted son??”
My father still looked puzzled by my exaggerated words. I thought that maybe even if I were to become a hermit and a fable, my father would still look at me with that expression. He will say this as he watches me ascend to the sky. Don't trust the gods!
“go and rest.”
“Then I'll just leave..”
As I turned around and came out, my father spoke from behind me..
“Welcome back.”
The moment I heard those words, my heart pounded. It was a short word, but it was what I wanted to hear from my father more than any other words..
I turned to my father and bowed my head in silence..
Thank you so much, Dad, for staying strong..
After leaving Cheonmajeon, I walked towards the place where the person I wanted to see the most, after my father, was..
