Chapter 407

Episode 407 If you guys prepare, I will prepare too..

I was drinking tea in Daru and watching people passing by..

People walked along the snow-covered road without slipping. Like the people who lived under the sandstorm outside the sea, the people of the North Sea were living with the snow..

The person I was supposed to meet here was the first person I met today. So I didn't know who among those passing by would suddenly come in and sit in front of me..

The reason I wore the bamboo lip so as not to be seen by others was not to hide myself, but because of the person I was meeting. Because he was a man whose life was secrecy..

How long was it like that??

A middle-aged man casually sat in the seat in front of me..

“Oh my, it's cold..”

The ordinary man with a generous appearance was the head of Eunwol's North Sea branch..

All of Tongcheon Pavilion and Eunwol's information power was currently concentrated on the Northern Blood Gate and the North Sea Ice Palace, but Eunwol contacted me saying that there was an urgent matter to report. It was something I could relay by message from afar, but I wanted to meet the person in charge..

“Have a cup of warm tea first. Thank you for your hard work.”

I poured tea into his teacup. Even if I couldn't give the struggling subordinate a drink, I wanted to at least give him a cup of warm tea..

It would have been better if it had been alcohol, but the reason we chose the meeting place at Daru rather than at a guesthouse was because of intoxication. I told Hanseol that we should drink next time, but I don't plan on drinking until Chuma drinks..

While I was pouring the tea, the man quickly sent a message..

―Yangjung, a scholar from the Northern Bloodline, has died..

It was unexpected news. I expected Yang Jung to be pushed out as successor due to this incident, but.

But he died? I remembered the polite appearance of the Bukhyeolmunju who said he would invite me..

‘He was much more heartless than he seemed..’

What on earth are you planning by killing your own children??

You can give as many reasons as you want for his death. Since it is the death of the Northern Blood Lord's son, there will be no one to investigate the cause of death..

One thing was clear from this report:.

The Northern Blood Gate is connected to the Blood King..

Otherwise, I wouldn't have handled this matter so quickly, even killing my own children..

―Now pay attention to the movements of the eldest son of the Northern Bloodline..

―We will notify you as soon as any special movements are detected..

―Thank you.

The man left there first..

I stayed for a while and drank the rest of my tea before heading out to Daru..

As I opened the door and came out, a thought occurred to me:.

The name Bukhyeolmun was chosen by fate..

The door that will lead me to the Blood King.

Ah, blood king. You know what? The north gate is the gate to the underworld..

* * *

When Geommugeuk returned, Chu Ma brought good news..

“I found out why they killed that person..”

I didn't tell Ian and Hanseol because I wanted to tell everyone when the sword dance came back..

“I thought our Majon would find out..”

In front of Hanseol, Geommugeuk treated Chwima as a Majon rather than an older brother..

Now that everyone has gathered, Chwima reveals how he found out..

“First of all, I looked at the letters recently exchanged with her, believing that the content was definitely related to alcohol. Most of our conversations were about alcohol..”

Since it was a letter that Wonju had collected, it was natural that he read the letter he had sent. So it was very difficult to find clues..

“Then I found this part.”

Chuma showed me a verse..

―I also want to drink Hyangseolbingju (香雪氷酒).

Hyangseolbingju was the first alcoholic drink that Geommugeuk and Ian had heard of. On the other hand, Han Xue knew well about Xiangxue Bingju..

“Hyangsulbingju is not just an ordinary drink, it is a drink with special effects..”

“What effect??”

“It's a drink that helps you endure the cold. Normally, when you drink alcohol, your body heats up and you feel less cold, but the effect of Hyangsulbingju is amazing..”

Chu Ma also knew well about the efficacy of Hyangsulbingju. And one thing that came to mind the moment I saw the word Hyangsulbingju.

“The constitution they were looking for this time was extremely retarded.?”

Extreme retardation and Hyangseolbingju. They both had something in common: they could withstand the cold..

“Isn’t it a coincidence??”

Geommugeuk and Ian nodded..

At that time, Hanseol raised a question..

“Isn’t there enough reason to say that Wonju died for that reason alone??”

“That's right, right.”

Chuma, which he obediently acknowledged, added another decisive reason..

“As far as I know, Hyangsulbingju is a liquor that can only be made with permission from the Ice Palace..”

“that's right. Alcohol with special effects must receive permission from the palace..”

“However, when I looked into past alcohol production at Baekju Snowfield, there was nothing about Hyangsulbingju..”

“There wasn't? That can't be possible?”

Then it was definitely suspicious..

“It looks like it was made secretly by someone..”

Chwima also agreed with Geommugeuk’s guess..

“The fact that you told me that fact means that you never thought that the alcohol would be used for bad purposes. Perhaps someone she knows well asked for it. He must have been a trustworthy person.”

It was a guess I could make because I knew her well..

“Did he say who asked him to make it??”

Chuma shook his head and expressed regret..

“I didn't tell you that far. He said it was his first time making Hyangsulbingju and that it was a really good experience, and I responded that I would like to try it..”

“I can't believe I found the answer with just that verse. You are amazing.”

Geommugeuk praised Chuma. It wasn't just something he said, it was a sincere compliment. Chuma was definitely a smarter person than I thought..

“Since I don't drink, my head seems to be spinning.!”

Geommugeuk smiled at Chuma's joke and looked at Hanseol..

Hanseol could tell what Geommugeuk wanted..

“Let me find out, who asked me to make the scented snow ice wine?.”

You have the answer, but will you ever find out? I had a doubt. If it had been made without the palace's permission, the process would have been completely hidden. Did you read her mind??

“Move with Ian.”

Hanseol rejected the offer of sword dance..

“It's easier to research on your own..”

Sleeping in the same room together is burdensome enough. Wander around together during the day? It's something I don't like.

“I know.”

“But why are you like this??”

“Are you in danger?.”

It was an unexpected reason not only for Han Seol, but also for Ian and Chu Ma..

“Are you worried about my safety as the owner of the oxbow in the ice palace??”

Then Geommugeuk reported the news he had learned a little while ago..

“Yang Joong is dead..”

The person who was most surprised was Ian..

“He died? why?”

“I guess he was also a tail for the Northern Blood Moon Lord..”

It was all contained in those words..

After all, he was the one who deceived so many people and then killed them through experiments, so he deserved to die. But it was surprising that the person who killed him was his father..

Han Xue was also surprised, but her surprise was not because of Yang Zhong's death. I was surprised that Geommugeuk knew about his death before he did..

‘You have more information than us? Not anywhere else, but here in the North Sea? Does your mother know this news??’

Geommugeuk warned Hanseol, who was momentarily distracted..

“You must never let down your guard. Because the descendants of the Northern Blood Gate face death within the Northern Blood Gate, this is the essence of this fight..”

To put it more broadly, it meant that it was a fight in the North Sea Ice Palace in which the ice palace owner's blood relatives could die..

“So move with Ian..”

Han Seol felt an irresistible authority in the eyes of Geommugeuk looking at him. It was not an overbearing attitude. It was a compulsion that came from a sincere heart for oneself..

“Of course.”

Han Seol no longer refused. This was the first time she felt this kind of tension while living as Binggungju's daughter..

Geommugeuk looked at Ian. There was no need to speak, make a sound, or nod. She'll take care of it. One look in the eyes was enough.

After the two women left the room, only the sword dance and the horse dance were left..

“They're looking for ways to survive the extreme cold. Why? Are we trying to learn some boating technique that we don't know? Or is he plotting a conspiracy related to the North Sea Ice Palace??”

Geommugeuk stood up in response to Chwima’s question..

“I have a place to go. My brother secretly protects Ian and Sogungju..”

“Where are you going suddenly??”

Geommugeuk said with an unexpected smile..

“I also want to prepare for the cold..”

“What are you talking about?”

Sword Dancer left the room, leaving behind a curious Chwima..

“Answer me and go! hurry! They said I'm sensitive because I don't drink.?”

* * *

Even if I wanted to answer, it was something I could never tell. Because I came here to take care of things related to my life before returning..

The place we flew to in an instant at high speed was a snowy mountain..

Among the wide snowy mountains, Daepunggok was the place with the coldest and harshest winds. This place where the strongest wind in the world blows.

Hwiiiiiiiing.

A frighteningly strong wind blew through the valley. It was a wind valley that was known to be impossible for even martial arts experts to pass through. It was a place where the wind blew and tore apart human bones and flesh. Plus, the wind blew the snow around, making it hard to see..

People in the North Sea also called the wind here the Gwangsalpung (狂殺風). It was literally a crazy wind, a wind of death. It was so cold and bitter that even if I used my inner strength to protect my body, it was not easy to pass through the valley. Truly a mystery created by nature.

After hearing the reasoning that they were looking for a way to protect against the cold, I finally realized that it was time to come here..

Before returning, I traveled to all kinds of places while searching for Dafa materials. When I come across a place like this, I go in even more stubbornly..

Because I came all the way here.

Ugh, I really don't have the courage to live that life again..

Hehehehe.

I continued walking into the valley through the wind..

The further we went in, the stronger the wind became..

The wind was blowing so fiercely that it seemed as if it would tear even the self-defense equipment to pieces, and it was really not easy to get inside because you had to use your inner strength to not fly away..

‘It was around here.’

As I went in like that, I went into the gap in the wall on the right. It was a space where you could hide for a short time from the wind outside..

At that time, he also hid himself like this..

Maybe it was fate. I discovered that there was a passage leading to another place at the end of this gap. Because it was a time when I was looking at every corner..

There was another gap in a place you couldn't tell at all by looking at it. It was a narrow gap behind a place blocked by thick vines..

It didn't look like I wanted to go in at all. I couldn't help but think that it would be nice to get caught and die while going in..

I went inside. I kept going through a place where one person could barely get through..

After passing through all of that, a slightly wide space appeared..

It was like being in another world, a place where sunlight came in and grass and trees grew. A sharp wind was blowing outside, but here a stream was flowing. A place where you can feel the mystery of ancient times.

“It's been a while.”

There was one tree among them. White fruit growing on the tree. It looked like a block of ice was hanging. This is a legendary elixir.

Annual snowflake).

While it was possible to obtain much more energy than Perennial Seolsam, there was one more amazing effect..

Not only did I become stronger against the cold, but I was also able to comfortably accept any cold energy. Not only that. I was able to block an attack loaded with extremely cold internal energy..

For example, it meant that even if you were hit by a cold spell, your blood vessels would not be damaged by the cold. On the other hand, I was able to learn Hanbingjang more easily than anyone else..

In the past, with the Cheongidan obtained from the King of Poison, he became invincible in the cold and cold, and this perennial snow was a specialized elixir for preventing the cold. If the two elixirs overlap, you will be able to overcome even extreme cold that exceeds your limit..

In my life before returning, I could not take the perennial snow fruit..

The cold energy contained in the perennial snow fruit was so strong that it was impossible to take it. If you greedily take it, your blood vessels will freeze. It was probably an elixir that could be taken by Binggungju, who had achieved great skill in the Ice Cold God..

I still remember.

What I said as I left the eternal snow.

Let's meet again next time we're meant to be.

At that time, I had the belief that I might return and come back to this place..

Now I could try it. This is because he gained incomparable strength compared to before, his blood vessels became stronger, and most of all, he achieved great success as a Heavenly Demon Defense Fighter. It was believed that the Heavenly Demon Defense God, who had achieved great success, would protect the body from the chill emitted by this perennial snow fruit..

If you lack this belief even a little, you should not take the perennial fruit. Because it was clear that he would suffer major internal injuries..

But I felt like this was all fate. He discovered this place before returning, achieved great success as a Heavenly Demon Defense God, and the enemy is trying to find and use the extreme delay..

fate is speaking to me.

Now is the time to take the perennial snow fruit. No, you must take it.

Along with fate, instinct also said this.

If you prepare for extreme cold, I will prepare too..

‘Heavenly Demon Self-Defense Technician, I only believe in you..’

The moment I held the perennial snowflake in my hand, I felt so cold that my whole body felt like it was freezing. Just by touching it, the ice cap warned of its danger. If you eat it you will die.

I took the ice cream without hesitation. The moment it entered my mouth, I felt a chill that I had never felt before. I thought it was hard and wouldn't melt easily, but that wasn't the case. The moment it entered my mouth, it instantly melted and the extreme cold spread into my body..

The Heavenly Demon's Self-Defense Technique had already been activated to fight against the cold chill..

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst.

It was so cold that it made me scream. It was hard to believe that something this cold existed in the world. Even though the Heavenly Demon Defense Force was activated, I felt pain as if my whole body was frozen. I wanted to expel this energy out of my body right away. I was afraid that I could die like this..

‘Let’s be patient, we have to be patient..’

All the while melting the energy of the ice cap, I remembered the evil spirits while reciting the nine words of the Nine Fire Magic Gong. I thought of the east, west, south, and north, and the heavenly devil spirits I had seen in my fantasy..

I thought of everything related to the Nine Fire Magic Ball and the Heavenly Demon Tiger God Ball. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I thought of my father. I remembered the sight of him laughing at me..

It worked. Surprisingly, even in this painful situation, a smile appeared on my face..

Note, note again.

And the result was a huge success.

It succeeded in melting all the energy of the ice cap..

A large amount of internal energy was added to the Danjeon, and more than anything, I achieved what I wanted. The cold energy of the ice caps permanently lingered throughout the blood vessels..

Now, what if something colder than an ice cap invades my body? No amount of cold energy will be able to do anything to me..

I was happy to think that I had another weapon to use against them. This is how I get stronger..

“I will definitely use this power for good purposes..”

I put my hands together and said hello to the ice cap and the trees and left..

After passing through the narrow passage, I came back to the valley where the storm was blowing..

Hwiiiiiiiing.

A great wind blew over me..

Even though I didn't use internal force to protect my body, the wind that bit my skin didn't feel cold at all. To exaggerate a little, Gwangsalpung has now become a spring wind and a warm wind for me..

Before returning, I went back the way I came. Because I couldn't go into the valley anymore..

But today I was curious. What will be at the end.

So I started walking towards the source of the wind..
