276. East, Wolguk (3)
Wolyeonghoe (月影會).
Wolyeonghoe, created by Baek Do-hwa, who swore to protect the moon by becoming the shadow of the moon (Baekcheongyeol) that brightly illuminated Wolguk, was spread throughout Wolguk.
There is only one reason why the organization has been able to maintain for a long time.
It was Baek Do-hwa’s order.
Because Baek Do-hwa knew that Baek Cheon-gyeol was reincarnated, she thought that he might appear in this world again sometime, and wanted the organization to be maintained.
The No. 1 Goal of Wolyeonghoe has always been one.
Secretly escorting Baek Chun-gyeol so that he doesn’t even notice that he is being protected.
Since it was an organization that gathered people who wanted to follow Baekcheongyeol from the beginning, no one had any complaints about it.
However, Baek Do-hwa, the owner of the group, had the sole command.
It was not an organization under the command of the Conqueror King, but rather a private soldier of the queen Baek Do-hwa, and it was an ironic organization that had no direct connection to the Conqueror King but secretly escorted him as if he did not exist.
Anyway, since Baek Do-hwa’s death, they have been succeeding generations with Bu Hoe-ju at the head, building their own information network, and even reaching out to find and produce people who excel in martial arts.
In the end, despite building a large-scale organization comparable to the level of the Wolyeonghoe in its heyday over a long period of time, they were unable to find the reincarnation of Baekcheongyeol, which was their purpose.
Isn’t Baek Cheon-gyeol’s next reincarnation as a demon? No matter how brilliant they were, they couldn’t extend their information network to the land of the demons.
And after Baekcheongyeol’s reincarnated demon, the ‘Nameless One’, fell down, he did not reincarnate for a while because he wanted rest.
So, just as they were waiting for the reincarnation of 100,000 resolutions, an earthling named Zeto fell into this world.
In a state where all memories of the previous life were ‘erased’.
I wondered how it could be that even if the kite didn’t follow me, I couldn’t follow it any more.
At that time, only meaningless information was collected through the information network.
Unexpected news comes through the information network of Wolyeonghoe.
The great ninja of the country of fire.
With the news that Hanjo’s tomb had been opened, the sword of Dohwa Baek had disappeared.
Wolyeonghoe had already figured out that Baek Do-hwa’s sword was there. It is because Baek Do-hwa’s diary was left behind.
The great ninja Hanzo in Baek Do-hwa’s diary is described as having a very close relationship with Baek Cheon-gyeol and Baek Do-hwa.
Baek Do-hwa left the search for her and Baek Chun-gyeol’s belongings to Han-jo. Unfortunately, he could not be entrusted to Wolyeonghoe. He had taken most of the elites who could enter the land of demons on an expedition.
After hearing the news of the death of the two, Hanzo left for the land of demons and found a sword.
That was Baek Do-hwa’s sword.
You might argue that Baek Do-hwa’s sword disappeared simply because a grave robber entered it, but Baek Do-hwa’s sword was not something anyone could handle.
In the first place, it would have been difficult to pick up the sword unless it was a strong man like Hanzo.
They came to one conclusion by comparing rumors and facts.
‘There is a reincarnation of Baek Do-hwa among the Innocence Academy cadets who traveled to the East.’
And that conclusion was true.
Because right now, in front of Raijin’s eyes, she was the reincarnation of Baekdohwa.
Kaen felt the sticky gaze of Rai Jin, who had a particularly bad impression among the escorts, and frowned at her.
‘Why do you keep staring at me? Isn’t it too close…?’
When Kaen gave him a sidelong glance and expressed discomfort, Lai Jin, who hadn’t noticed, opened her mouth.
“Please let me know if there is anything that bothers you.”
‘I’m uncomfortable with you… Are all the escorts in the country feeling like this?’
Kaen didn’t say it out of his mouth because he respected the hard work of the guards.
There is one reason that Rai Jin was so attached to her that Kaen was uncomfortable.
She was to cover her sword.
A special pattern engraved on Baekdohwa’s sword.
The general public might not know.
In the first place, ordinary people were completely out of the question of Raijin’s vigilance. What he was wary of were the ganja Seo Cho-ryang would have planted in the escort.
Seo Yi-san invited the cadets of the academy to Wol-guk at a fairly unexpected timing. And there was no way Seocho-ryang would just watch it.
‘I’m sure they haven’t been caught already.’
Raijin looked around.
This man and that man.
As usual, they were members of Manwoldae with familiar faces.
However, Seo Cho-ryang is not a very easy-going person.
He killed his younger brother, the previous king, and now he was extending his demonic hand to his son. His lust for power was boundless, and if he wanted anything he would take it by any means.
The vice president of Wolyeonghoe commented that Seo Cho-ryang was more cunning than a serpent that was hundreds of years old, and more greedy than a newborn monkey.
Wolyounghoe once saved Seo Yi-san from being almost assassinated by Seo Cho-ryang when he was young. By using the astrologer he hated so much.
Wolyeonghoe ordered an astrologer to spit out the words that it is too early to break the moon now. Seo Cho-ryang, who was plotting the assassination, knew what that meant.
He knew he had not-so-good memories of himself and Astrology as a child. Seo Cho-ryang had a personality that did not particularly believe in prophecy or astrology.
But Seo Cho-ryang abandoned the assassination plan.
Why?
The vice president said so.
‘Seo Cho-ryang was seen through a mirror. It was because the things he had done so far were ugly things that could not be done unless he had a ferocious voice imbued with hopelessness. So he had no choice but to trust astrology even more.’
The assassination merely delayed the timing, but luckily Seo Yi-san was able to buy time until he became an adult.
As time passed, around the time Seo Cho-ryang started to use his demonic powers on Seo I-san once again, it happened to coincide with the time when he discovered the reincarnation of Baek Do-hwa.
Raijin recalled what Hawol said this morning.
‘Raijin, keep that in mind. If, by any chance, the reincarnation of Lord Hoe-ju, who lost his memory, would end up in the hands of Seo Cho-ryang…’
At that time, Wolyeonghoe also fell into the hands of Seo Cho-ryang.
It was natural.
The Wolyeonghoe is an organization organized by her Baekdo painter, and it is an organization that moves for her and for the Baekcheongyeol she longs for.
If Seocho-ryang decides to take advantage of her Baekdohwa reincarnation and brainwashes her to eat, Wolyeonghoe loses her choice.
Unless Baek Cheon-gyeol rises from the grave, they have no choice but to follow her words after being brainwashed by Seo Cho-ryang.
‘I can never let it go like that.’
Lai Jin clenched her fists.
No matter what happens, I will protect Baek Do-hwa’s reincarnation and Hoe-ju.
At that moment when I was making such a firm resolution, I heard a cute voice of a girl next to Raijin.
“Hey…Hey…!”
When Lai Jin turned her head, she saw the bluish-haired girl next to Baek Do-hua’s reincarnation (presumably) staring at him with her hands raised.
“What are you doing?”
“I have a question…! Why are so many soldiers escorting us?”
“Why are you asking me something like that? I feel good because I feel like I’ve become an important person.”
“That feels a bit out of place…”
“Lucia is timid.”
Lucia wiggles her fingers and Crank snorts her and shrugs her shoulders.
“It’s not different, it’s because of the security of the country. Basically, the security is not very good, and recently there have been an increase in bandits operating near the border. So our king is a distinguished guest from far away, so every hair is covered. He ordered me to escort him thoroughly so he wouldn’t get hit.”
“Aha…”
Lai Jin, who kindly finished his explanation, turned his head away with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, not matching his bad impression.
Anyway, there was one person who kept getting stepped on in his eyes from a while ago.
Where Raijin’s eyes were directed, a black-haired man with a white bandage covering his eyes was walking down the street along the ranks.
‘I wonder if he was an outcast…’
This is the person who received information from Hawol in advance.
He was certainly a mysterious man enough to have a nickname at a young age.
‘You’re blind, but you can’t even use a cane. Does he have that kind of ability after he dies and comes back to life?
Raijin observed the man for a while.
‘Or is that girl his ‘cane’?’
A platinum-haired girl clung to the right side of the blind man.
He had his arm around the girl’s shoulders and seemed to be able to comfortably support himself thanks to the girl’s diminutive height.
“Ms. Eisel, how long are you going to be like this…?”
“Until Jeto’s shoulders fall off.”
“hahahaha… Since you don’t have a prosthetic arm, I don’t think it’s going to be hard for your shoulder to come off…”
“So that’s what I’m saying.”
“……”
Eisel pulled Jeto’s arm over his shoulder even more.
‘There are many unusual people at Innocence Academy…’
Even after overhearing their conversation for a while, Raijin, who had difficulty understanding the situation, skipped over it and skipped it.
In the meantime, Zeto’s steps suddenly stop.
“Jetto, what’s wrong?”
Aisel, the girl next to him, asked.
From noble mtl dot com
“…That’s because the signs of suspicious people caught on. Judging from their movements, they seem to be besieging us.”
Rai Jin, overhearing Zeto’s words, looked around him.
‘What are you talking about?’
Only dense trees and bushes were visible around, and no special sounds were made, only the sound of grass insects.
“I wonder if it’s a group of bandits… I think I should inform the captain of the escort…”
Jeto subtly turned his head toward Lai Jin, and his words trailed off.
‘What do you mean? Are you telling me to go see me…?’
Raijin panics at the silent pressure.
‘Should I report that one of the blind cadets detected the presence of bandits…?’
When Raijin didn’t say anything else, Jeto finally broke away from the ranks and headed to the front.
“Or I’ll tell the instructors and come back.”
After Zeto left, the remaining members took out their weapons and began to inform the cadets around them, saying, ‘Zetto said a thief appeared.’
“Looks like the security is not good.”
Eisel muttered in her annoyed voice as she took out a golden stick from her bosom.
In the end, when Kaen tried to pull out the white sword flower sword from her waist, Rai Jin couldn’t do it and stopped her arm.
“Wait a minute…”
“…Why would you do that?”
Kaen, about to draw her sword, frowns at her.
“Why are you all so impatient? No, more than that, how did he find the enemy?”
“Ah, that’s… What should I say…”
Kaen replied in a brusque voice as if he was too lazy to explain further.
“It would be quicker to just see for yourself.”
