Chapter 367
Absolute Regression Episode 367
Episode 367 It's okay to be a little less cool.
Late at night, Bisain was wandering alone in the yard of the safe house..
Tomorrow is the day when the leader finally leaves..
He said he would leave.
‘Should I have said I was going??’
The reason I said I wouldn't go was because I was worried that I would become a burden with my body that wasn't fully healed..
However, if something happens to the leader, he will live his whole life regretting that he was not there..
Surprisingly, I wasn't worried about the sword dance. Even if I run away, it will take care of itself. Even if you fall into the water, you will persuade the fish to get out..
‘Will the leader understand my feelings later? Wouldn’t you misunderstand that I didn’t come because I was scared??’
Soon Bisain shook his head. Are you worried about yourself in this situation?.
At that time, someone walked out from behind and said.
“I'm so upset I can't sleep?”
When I looked back, it was monstrous..
“Did you say it was tomorrow??”
“yes.”
Bisain wanted to ask the monster to go help the lord. I just wanted to say, “Go, it’s the order of the minor lord.”.
But it couldn't be done. Because I couldn't ask a monster to go to a dangerous place where I might die. If he had a desire to help, he would have spoken out first. I will go and help.
“Don't worry too much. Don’t you know what kind of person the leader is??”
I know, I know better than anyone else. So I was worried. Because he was never one to back down. Although he was normally a cold and realistic person, he was a fiery person when it came to fighting. Because he was the best man he knew..
And as always, there was someone else who could solve his problems..
“If you're worried, let's go together.!”
I turned around in surprise and saw Geommugeuk entering there..
“why are you here?”
“Why? I came to take you away.”
Then he held out something. What was in the hands of the sword dance was self-defense armor..
It was because I had saved my life by wearing two layers of clothing. What was soaked in blood was clean..
“Earlier, I went to the stream and washed. It's been a while since I went to see my master, but I have to smell blood.?”
It was washed really clean and everything was dry..
“I was afraid that it would stink if it didn't dry properly, so I put it on myself and brought a hot dog to dry it..”
“What?”
“I was making a fuss alone at night.”
I thought of Geommugeuk standing by the stream, washing the guard armor, putting it on, and drying it with a yeolyangjigi..
Surprised, embarrassed, and thrilled. Bisain stood blankly for a moment as many emotions flooded in at once..
Truly, this Su Jiaozhu is a person who cannot predict even the slightest bit. And the ending to all these emotions was joy..
A bright smile appeared on Bisign’s grim face..
“Okay, let's go..”
It was right to go. Seeing this happiness, this is true.
“That's right, it's an apostolic affair and you have to go..”
Bisain nodded vigorously..
When the fog in my mind cleared, a man stood there. He was a disciple who wanted to protect his master, and he was not afraid of losing his life..
Okay, let's give it a try. Just give it a try. Even if I die, I die there..
“help me, friend.”
Geommugeuk smiled broadly at the added word “friend.”.
“Of course. Am I not your true friend? Never forget that you are the only friend who risked his life to help you when you were in trouble! And I am the friend who will go to the beach with you later. Little guys, I will seduce them all.!”
Bisain knows that Geommugeuk is unexpectedly weak against condescension. I feel burdened by being thanked, and I hate showing off..
I thought that there might be a man even more silent and blunt than me standing in the fog hidden by that chatter..
Bisain put on a set of self-defense armor and handed the rest to Geommugeuk..
“Wear one for yourself..”
“I already wore it. So wear two layers again this time..”
The Geukpumcheonjamsa that was tied to the handle of the black magic sword was already wrapped around the main part of the sword's body..
At that time, a monster who was listening to the conversation between the two intervened and said:.
“There might be poison in the self-defense armor..”
It was both a joke and a serious remark. Advice not to completely believe in sword dance..
“Since you are here, at least the Little Lord will not be poisoned and die..”
Geommugeuk sincerely hoped that the relationship between these two people would develop well. Bisain, it's up to you..
Bisain said to Goeak.
“Will you come with me tomorrow to help me??”
The monster answered without hesitation.
“If the little lord goes, I have to go too..”
Even though he didn't step up for the leader, he at least had the heart to move for Bisain..
Bisain realized one thing. If I had forced him to go earlier, he wouldn't have given such an easy answer now. Because I endured it then, I have something to gain now. We must not forget. When we are in a hurry, we tend to forget the distance between us and others..
The person who had the greatest influence on this realization is very busy. Geommugeuk said goodbye.
“Well then, see you tomorrow morning. I'll come get you.”
“Where are you going this night??”
Geommugeuk said something unintelligible and then disappeared in an instant..
“Because you are not the only one who needs to wear self-defense armor..”

Late at night, Baek Ja-gang was training in his training center with his shirt off..
The opponent is an iron doll made by mixing 10,000 years of iron..
Iron Man became Geom Woo-jin, Hwang Seok-kyung, and then himself..
It could have been cut off with a single knife, but only light sounds continued from the iron doll..
After swinging his sword once, Baek Ja-gang approached the iron doll..
I slowly smoothed out the traces that had been carved a moment ago with my hand. It was a surface where too many lines had been drawn, and now the lines seemed to have become surfaces..
But Baek Ja-gang knew exactly what traces he had just left behind..
It was a higher state than cutting a thousand years of iron, and enjoying this great state was his finger following the sword line..
The lines were telling. That he was by no means someone who easily inherited the position of leader. He is also a person who reached the Great Master by walking the path of blood..
At that time, the voice of the head of the guard was heard outside..
“Sogyoju has arrived.”

Sword dance was standing in front of the steel wolf again today..
“What's going on so late at night??”
“I couldn't sleep so I came to see you..”
If it were anyone else, I would have thought it was because I was nervous, but I thought it wouldn't be a sword dance performance. There must be a reason to come..
“not inside?”
“Ah, I like it here..”
Baek Ja-gang stood side by side with Geommugeuk..
“They said this wolf would survive?”
It seems that the head of the guard relayed those words..
“For some reason, I feel like it would be nice to come back alive..”
“Are you hoping for a crisis to come to your organization??”
“Ah, I guess so. somehow! It felt like it would come to life so intensely..”
This is why the conversation with Geommugeuk was interesting. Because I can say things so easily that no one would dare say.
“They said he was a strong enemy?”
Geomgeuk spoke into the air..
“Aren't I telling my lord too much? Are there no secrets between us??”
Only after joking like that did the playfulness disappear from Geommugeuk’s face..
“Yes, he is probably the strongest enemy the Lord has ever faced..”
“Just like your father?”
“Not to that extent..”
Before a leisurely smile appeared on Baekjagang’s lips, Geommugeuk spoke first..
“However, this is not the time to let down your guard..”
I knew that these words might hurt the Apostle Lord's pride, but it still gave me a warning..
“Are you afraid that I will die??”
After a moment, Geommugeuk answered..
“yes.”
There were no symptoms in Baek Ja-gang’s ears. This demonic religion leader is truly worried that he will die. How on earth should I accept this??
“There will be armor for the lord. Please wear it when you participate in the competition..”
“Why are you wearing armor??”
“The opponent will also wear it..”
It was already known in his life before returning that Tuwang wears self-defense armor. In addition to self-defense armor, he did not hesitate to use all kinds of equipment and sacred items if he could win the fight..
The reason it was known was because Tuwang was not ashamed of that fact at all. The only thing he is ashamed of is defeat.
A person with skills as strong as Mazon can use even the best equipment, so he is worried about the Apostle Lord..
“I've felt it before, but you seem to know a lot about interest..”
what should i say?
“Yes, I know about interest.”
The longer I talk, the more loopholes there are, so I didn't say anything else. You previously told me that there were similar conspiracies in the Heavenly Demon Church, the Murim Alliance, and the Sae-Oe Pungcheon Church, so I'm guessing you found out about it in the process of solving that case..
“Please don't misunderstand. I am not saying this to disrespect you, Lord..”
“I know that. Just ask this.”
Baek Ja-gang looked at the sword dance and asked..
“If it were your father, would you have worn it??”
Geomugeuk thought about his father for a moment and shook his head..
“You probably didn't wear it..”
Baek Ja-gang exhaled a cold prayer..
“But why are you telling me to wear it??”
“I probably told my father to wear it too..”
If the situation were the same, I would have recommended it to my father as well. You would never wear it.
“I know. As a warrior, I feel Maengju’s pride and self-esteem. Even if the opponent comes with all the information in the world, he will deal with him with just one sword. I know very well that both my father and Lord Maeng are like that. That's why you're the leader, that's why you're the leader.”
“Why are you telling me to wear it when I know it??”
“Because I have to wear it. I will wear the best self-defense armor and go out. Even if I become a religious leader, I will do so..”
Baek Ja-gang stared into Geommugeuk’s eyes, which did not waver even an inch. I was curious why this young leader, who will be responsible for the next generation, said this..
“In my opinion, the honor of a religious leader does not lie in the coolness of winning under unfavorable conditions..”
“Then where is your honor??”
“Those who must be killed have consequences. So it’s okay to be a little less cool. There is no need to tell a saga. I just want to come back safely and see my people. I hope to return safely and have a drink and a chat with them. I won't say a word about enemies who are already dead. We will take off our bloody self-defense armor and laugh and talk. People will think in their minds. Yes, if you are a religious leader, you can definitely kill him. my honor lies there.”
It was something Baekjagang had never thought about. When you play sword dance, things that you don't have keep coming to you..
Everything Geommugeuk said earlier was for this conclusion..
“I hope Maengju doesn’t get hurt at all. I hope that will be your honor..”
From the beginning of the sword dance until the end, not a single hair rose in Baek Ja-gang's ears..

The next day, the carriage carrying the Apostle Lord was running..
The small number of warriors running around escorting the carriage were the Sado Lord's guard warriors. On this secret journey, only the most skilled of the guards followed..
Baek Ja-gang and Deputy Governor Hyeok-sa-gun were riding in the carriage..
“Are you nervous??”
In response to Baekjagang’s question, Hyuksagun, who was looking out the window of the moving carriage, turned his head..
“no.”
“You look more nervous than usual.”
Of course, Hyuksagun was nervous..
Because your fate will be decided today.
I believe Hwang Seok-kyung will win, but it will be a dangerous fight. You never know what variables may threaten you..
“Can I just say one thing about this incident??”
“Try it.”
“Honestly, I was disappointed. If you trusted me, it would have been better if you had definitely trusted me..”
“I was disappointed that you didn't tell me the location of the commander-in-chief..”
“yes.”
Soon, Hyuksagun bowed his head and apologized..
“I'm sorry for being disloyal, Lord..”
“Nope. You are human too, so of course you can feel that way..”
Hyuksagun was doing his best to hide himself. Maengju is a sharp person. He is a person who can see through people with those small eyes..
That's why I hide my excitement today with regret. I have to get to where Hwang Seok-kyung is waiting..
How long did it run like that??
When the carriage began to slowly slow down, Baek Ja-gang said something unexpected..
“Today is the day we receive new recruits to the company.?”
“That's right, today.”
When the story of Sa-maeng-gwan was brought up, Hyuk-sa-gun became nervous..
“I heard that Instructor Hwang was on vacation today.?”
“Yes, I heard this is the first time this has happened. But how do you know??”
“Isn’t he famous for being sincere? I know what's going on?”
“I heard you have an urgent personal matter..”
“I think I know where he went.”
Before I knew it, the carriage had stopped..
Baek Ja-gang's eyes looked out the window..
“That person is over there.”
Tuwang was standing ahead, blocking the road..
Tuwang, who clearly revealed his prayers, was showing off his tremendous presence. Because the prayer just revealed was enough to explain why Geomugeuk was so worried..
The guard warriors who had already received the Ingung's instructions did not show any signs of agitation..
Baek Ja-gang slowly got off the carriage. King Tu's fighting spirit flew at him like a sword, but Baek Ja-gang spoke with utmost calmness..
“Well, isn't this such a fancy vacation??”
