304. Howel, what do you mean? (2)
Seochoryang’s orchid.
It is recorded as the only rebellion that occurred in Muran, the capital of the Yue Dynasty, started by the king’s uncle, Seo Cho-ryang, who had a good reputation and popular sentiment.
Considering that Seo Cho-ryang tried to start a civil war in order to ascend to the throne, that he insulted the old heroes of the Yue Dynasty through necromancy, and that he even had an affair with a ‘blood cult’, those involved deserved to be put to death. .. However, the number was so great that it ended up in exile and expulsion.
However, it is known that Seocho-ryang died on the night of the rebellion, but not many people know the inside story of this.
The end of Seochoryang was followed by various rumors.
There are rumors that Yasui, the leader of the 3rd division, the fifth star of the Yue Kingdom, personally executed him, and there are also rumors that the ‘Yue Rinhoe’, buried in the history of the Yue Kingdom, appeared and stopped the Yue Nation before it was engulfed in tribulation.
Among the many rumors, one of the most influential hypotheses was none other than ‘celestial punishment.’
The huge lightning strike that suddenly struck Muran that night was loud enough to wake up the people who were sleeping soundly.
“…Is that really enough?”
Seo Yi-san asked me.
Holding a bottle of Ilsongju on my belt, I lowered my head and opened my mouth.
“Haven’t you already given our cadets government positions that were not planned for them? It will only make you feel uncomfortable if you receive more than what you were given.”
After finishing cleaning up, Seo Yi-san called the cadets who were in Yasan to the palace and said, ‘I will not forget your hard work.’ He said, and gave him a government position.
Although it was a position of honor and no power, it was quite unusual for such a position to be given to people from a foreign country, especially in the West.
Others quickly realized that it was an honorary position with only a good name, perhaps because there were many descendants of high-ranking families, but Crank responded seriously, saying that he should think about settling down in Wolguk after graduation.
Well, I’m only a freshman now and it’s a long way off from graduation, but I thought it wouldn’t be a bad country to settle down in.
Meanwhile, Edward, who was pretending to wipe away tears after hearing this news, said this.
‘To stop a country’s rebellion while we are away… I feel like crying at the cadets’ remarkable growth.’
I wondered where those three black-blooded people had gone, but they said they were very drunk and had gone to catch the ‘Imugi’ and all.
Kaliman and Raina must have lost their memories due to being drunk and asked, ‘Was that an Imoogi?’ Although he reacted like this, Edward made a fuss and said that there really was a monster, but it was difficult for him to believe it.
In the case of Imoogi, I have only heard about it in games, but have never actually encountered it.
Anyway, if the Imoogi is real, does it have a different nature from the ‘dragon’ I know?
‘The dragons living in the East are like hatchlings…?’
Even if there is, I guess it’s roughly like that.
“I never thought that a bottle of alcohol would bring back the Yue Kingdom. I still can’t believe it. I heard a report from General Yasui. He said your contribution was great. Even though you were made white by necromancy, you were the ‘most brilliant star’ of the Yue Kingdom. I heard that he withstood the power of the known King of Conquerors… Is that really true?”
“I was just lucky.”
No matter how much combat experience I had, it was nearly impossible to withstand their repeated attacks with my bare body in a state of combustion equivalent to mana exhaustion.
The reason I was able to withstand their repeated attacks was entirely thanks to Baek Cheon-gyeol’s experience and memories.
Fortunately, as time passed, Baek Cheon-gyeol’s troublesome personality faded away and he was able to move his mouth as he wanted.
She said that Sierra had vague memories and wondered if she had been possessed by a ghost.
I thought the explanation was sloppy, but I couldn’t ask questions to her status window and there was nothing I could do.
[Hmm…]
Perhaps that’s why she had been glaring at me with her pouty face for a while now.
“I heard that he was able to master the mind and sword, but I wonder if that can be attributed to pure luck. If that’s true, wouldn’t it mean that his skills are comparable to those of the Empire’s knight commander or swordsman? At that age.”
Seo Yi-san, who had quenched his thirst, put down his tea cup and said. I opened my mouth with a smile as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.
“hahahaha, it’s nonsense. What happened that night is not something a mortal could have done. It was just a belated punishment of the God of Heaven on a wicked man who should have died long ago.”
Simgeom is truly at the level of being called a legend.
It is said that it is a technique that can be performed by those who have reached the peak of martial arts even if it is not a sword, but it is not known whether a swordsman can truly handle the heart sword.
[ Even if Chris is the same, who is the knight commander of the empire referring to? ]
Sierra’s question came just in time.
If you listen to her premise, it seems that the swordsman can handle the heart sword.
‘It is a monster…’
I think Geomseong may not have been an opponent I couldn’t face in the game for no reason.
If there is a person rumored to be able to use the sword among the current knight commanders of the empire, it is probably the person who serves as the head of the ‘Round Table’.
Soon, Seo Yi-san, who was thinking while touching her chin, opens her mouth.
“It’s heavenly punishment… Maybe we should contact the Holy Church and discuss the state religion.”
“I think it’s a good idea. No matter what anyone says, the Lord Heneris is real. Don’t you think it’s even more trustworthy since it’s the words of someone who died and came back to life, not anyone else?”
“hahahahaha, I guess I can’t deny that.”
Due to the distance, the influence of the Holy Kingdom did not reach the East as much, so superstitions abounded and cases of believing in and following folk beliefs were common.
Well, its roots ultimately lead to Heneris, so Seongguk didn’t seem to be paying much attention.
‘Anyway, are you going to give me incentives if I spread missionary work to the country?’
While I was thinking about such idle thoughts, Seo Yi-san stopped drinking tea and stood up.
“Let’s walk for a while.”
At Seo Yi-san’s suggestion that followed immediately, I silently got up and walked after him.
Is it because many people in the palace were empty due to Seocho-ryang’s rebellion? The inside of the palace was as quiet as a calm lakeside.
Seo Yi-san raises his head and looks at the sky.
“It’s still a position too much for me, but I didn’t intend to be usurped so easily. It’s not like I didn’t have any plans. But since you showed up, things have worked out surprisingly well. As expected, you are the Paradise Returner of whom there were a lot of rumors. Should I say yes…”
“Are there rumors going around about me?”
“Of course. The East is smaller than you think. Yi Shai, Hwa Guo, and Tianxian Scholars. Now, even Yue Guo has received your help. The leaders of the East are all targeting you. They will somehow make you their workers. “I was so anxious.”
This was started to prevent the ‘blood system’ due to the schedule being delayed, but it may have produced results beyond what was planned.
“……”
While walking along the road, Lee San suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“……”
When I tilted my head to see Seo Yi-san turning around and looking at me, he opened his mouth.
“But aren’t you the reward for a worker?”
“…I am a faithful worker for the saint.”
What does it mean?
Even though he tried to play it off, his eyes, full of confidence, turned to me without wavering.
“If that’s you. That’s probably it.”
However, he did not say anything more about it.
“Will you accept this?”
Soon, Seo Yi-san took out something small from his arms and handed it to me.
“…What is this?”
I asked while fiddling with the bluish light engraved moon and cloud pattern he handed me.
“It’s a jade tablet. As long as you keep that jade tablet in your arms, the country of Yue will always support you.”
“……”
Should I consider this as being discovered?
If you were caught, why were you caught?
“Put it away. Someday it might come in handy.”
While questions arose, I was able to find the answer in a word from Seo Yi-san.
“Don’t be too angry because he’s an incompetent king. Thanks to this, I’ve come to my senses… Next time I stop by Wolguk, let’s have a round or two of Hwasu together.”
It was because of the conversation I had with him in prison.
At the time, I was angry with him.
I was angry at Seo Yi-san’s poor response.
However, the anger of a stranger who had nothing to do with Wolguk may have been somewhat unnatural.
‘Did they respect my choice? Or are you trying to prove it?’
No matter what happened, I somehow felt satisfied in a corner of my heart with Seo Yi-san’s response.
“What’s the point of having a fire fighter? It’s clearly visible who will be defeated.”
I answered that to Seo Yi-san, who was walking on the other side, adjusting his bandage.
“Huh, really. What can I see?”
“Of course. You can see it very well.”
“Go back carefully. Don’t hit the wall without anyone seeing you off.”
I burst out laughing at Seo Yi-san’s joke at the end.
From noble mtl dot com
The fact that he didn’t make a fuss about handing over the Yue Kingdom directly to the Conqueror is a passing grade.
Baek Cheon-gyeol probably thought so.
***
Doam Cave located deep near Muran, the capital of Yue State.
Wolyounghoe’s stranded Raijin, who was resting there, was talking with the martial arts members who had returned from work.
Even though they were talking, the Muyeongs had to remain silent as always, so they were talking using hand gestures that only members of the Wolyeonghoe could understand.
“……”
Muyeong Hana gestured to Raijin.
“…He really handled the mind and sword?”
“……”
In response to Rai Jin’s question, Muyoung nods her head and shows her thumbs up.
The eyes of the Muyoung gathered around were full of envy. That’s because I personally witnessed the sword of the heart, which was said to be at the level of legend.
One of the dogs was so excited that he was describing Zeto running around the treatment room and fighting with Oh-seong.
“Well… I guess it wouldn’t be weird if I handled the heart and sword…”
Raijin, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, looked at the ceiling and remembered the Zeto he had encountered.
Rijin could not keep up with his speed.
However, since he was said to be an unrivaled strongman if he was capable of wielding a heart sword, there was no reason for his pride to be diminished.
“Whoa… My head is getting complicated…”
However, it is true that if Baek Cheon-gyeol’s reincarnation is such a strong person, he was wondering why the Wolyeonghoe exists, so a sigh escaped Raijin’s mouth without him knowing.
“Anyway, I extinguished the emergency fire, but I heard that Kaen is planning to leave Wolguk soon. You and Howol will probably be by Kaen’s side. But don’t be too unreasonable in saying that you will trust us. Kaen will take care of us. “If you refuse, there is nothing we can do.”
Next, Raijin was explaining how Wolyeonghoe should move forward as the Muyeongs gathered together.
“……”
Meanwhile, Hana Muyoung gestured back and forth with her serious face and eventually tilted her head.
“What…? Kaen and him didn’t seem to have a good relationship? That’s strange. When I watched them before, their relationship didn’t seem so bleak.”
Raijin, who interpreted this, expressed doubt.
Soon, he asks a question to Howell, who was sitting on the bed next to him and staring blankly at the ceiling.
“Howel, do you know anything? Didn’t you say you had contact with him?”
“Huh? Uh, uh…”
At his sudden question, Howol jumps up from the bed.
“How was it?”
“How was it…?”
Howell is speechless.
Knock knock.
Muyoung Hana, who could not see this, touches Raijin’s shoulder.
“……”
When Raijin turns her head, Muyoung makes a gesture with her weak hand and lowers her head.
That Mu-yeong was the one who pointed the sword at Jeto along with Ha-wol. At least the Muyoungs who were there that day were aware of what caused it.
“Howol, did I misunderstand? You gave him a face…? And you pointed a sword at him?”
Wolyeonghoe, who was protecting Baek Cheon-gyeol, committed an atrocity by pointing a sword at Baek Cheon-gyeol.
“…Ugh.”
Tears well up in Howell’s eyes at Raijin’s sharp interrogation.
“……”
As the atmosphere became more serious, Muyoung urgently tapped his shoulder and said, ‘We were just following orders.’ He gestured.
At that time, a young woman enters the treatment room.
“Howol, the vice-president is calling you. Did you have any accident while I was away?”
Her name is Nahwa.
She was a descendant of Na-ryong, the captain of the 2nd division of Baekcheon-resolution Oseongjung, and Ucho (right 梢) of the Wolyeonghoe, and had just returned to Doam Cave after completing her mission.
“……”
Soon, one of the Mu-yeongs put his index fingers on either side of her head to emphasize it, and Na-hwa, who interpreted this, opens her mouth.
“Yes, you’re very angry. What’s going on?”
“”……””
A cold silence follows Nahwa’s question.
“Why are you doing this? By the way, I heard you finally met Lord Hoe…! Please tell me the story!”
Na Hwa, unaware of the situation, was just happy to hear that Baek Do Hwa’s reincarnation had appeared.
The reason why Wolteonghoe exist? To stalk your king ofc
