48 – Empress Saris’ advance
Ko Seung-min. He was born in a slum and lived without parents.
There are two ways he lives in the world. Either he took it from someone or he took it from someone. It was either one.
Of course, no one entrusted him with work, and he had to plunder in order to survive. His biological parents had abandoned him, and of course no one was willing to adopt his street beggar, so he had to find a way to live on his own.
That’s why he stole other people’s things.
-Such a bastard! Can’t you bring it soon?
-Come here, you buggy bastard!
It was very sweet to covet the things of others. As long as he was criticized a little, he could easily take away things or food, and if he took away their things, he would no longer have to starve, so it was a good thing for the young Goh Seung-min.
-Kwajik-!
Eat an apple stolen from a merchant. The pulp spreads in your mouth. Sugar and nutrients begin to be supplied to the hungry stomach. The thought circuit that had been stopped begins to move.
-Kwajik-!
Bite into a baguette from the bakery. The smell of bread that spreads throughout the mouth while being stuffy wraps the whole body.
The first food a young boy robbed and ate. His thought as he ate the food was not that it was delicious.
I am full.
The boy felt satisfied. He was delighted to be able to fill his hungry stomach.
Like that. The boy went down a path that got worse and worse.
But that period did not last long either.
It was because the merchants of the city called in outsiders to catch Go Seung-min.
A man with no identity who catches monsters that appear here whenever dawn appears, as well as thieves and criminals in the village. It was commissioned by the man. There’s a rat in the city, get rid of it.
The late Seung-min, who was undoubtedly stealing this time, was driven into a corner because of his man.
“Ha… Can you take a look at it?”
However, the man firmly shook his head and replied.
“Did you think you could live your life stealing? That’s not going to happen.”
“It was because I was so hungry. I mean, there was nothing I could do.”
“It was because I was hungry. It was because the circumstances weren’t right. If you make an exception like that, there will be no criminals in this world who can be punished. All the starving people in the world don’t steal like you because they’re hungry. Why use poverty as a means to justify your sins? You are just a thief A thief who sucks the blood of others. Nothing more, nothing less.”
When the man spoke, Ko Seung-min cried out in tears.
“What do you say you know! Even if you try to work in the city, no one accepts you because you are young. Even if you try to sell by-products that fall from catching monsters. I don’t have the power to catch demons. If you happen to be lucky enough to find someone who offers you a daily job, you will be forced to take care of them without paying a proper wage, and you will be ridiculed and despised as a beggar by children of your age.”
Go Seung-min as a young boy. His eyes were already full of tears.
“It’s impossible to break this damn bondage on your own, or get out of it with someone’s help. Then what should I do? Are you saying I have to die like this?”
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
At Go Seung-min’s words, the man gradually approached him.
And before he knew it, he stood right in front of Koh Seung-min and spoke quietly.
“Cry.”
“….”
Go Seung-min looked at her man as if he was absurd.
“I told you to cry if you want to cry.”
Only then did the late Seungmin shed his tears.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Keuk heuk… Kkeuk heuk…”
The man hugged Ko Seung-min and patted him.
“I hate guys like you. But, at the same time, I feel pity.”
-Sueuk
Away from the late Seungmin who had been patting her, her man rummaged in her own pocket. She then threw a small gold nugget at the late Seungmin.
-Tup
The late Seung-min, who received the gold nugget, looked at the man with her bewildered eyes, not knowing why.
“It is gold. If you sell it, it’s gold that can make you enough money to live on for a few months.”
“Why…why do you do this to me?”
“Live. Someone has helped you. I want you to take advantage of this opportunity and live it. I won’t catch you or punish you today. And I will give you that gold nugget. Whether you trade the gold with others or hide it and wait for its value to rise, it is your choice. So live.”
-Patter
Tears began to flow from Go Seung-min’s eyes. He asked her man.
“Why…why are you doing me this favor?”
“Don’t blame me. It is to help you not to blame anyone. Remember, there is no second time.”
-Sueuk
The man turned around and walked away.
Goh Seung-min shouted at her man.
“Could you please tell me this… Name… Name?”
A man wearing a mask. Kang Eun-chan turned around and spoke.
“Aren’t we close enough to say the same thing?”
So the man left.
After a while, Go Seung-min went to the gold and silver store in the city to sell gold.
“Hmm…this isn’t pure gold after all?”
“I can’t…I can’t?”
“At this rate, I can only pay 100,000 won.”
The president of Geumeunbang looks vicious. He looked around at the gold, constantly finding fault with this and that.
“The weight, shape, and smell of gold are a bit odd…”
Feeling a strange feeling, Ko Seung-min tried to leave the gold and silver room.
“That…Please give it back. I will sell them elsewhere.”
However, the president of Geum Eun-bang, Pihandong, did not leave it unattended.
“Uh huh, such a young bastard is talking to an adult without hesitation? I’ll give you 10,000 won. Just sell it here.”
“Wha…What is 100,000 won! It was obviously pure gold. It’s only worth that much…!”
-Slap-!
Ko Seung-min, who was a boy, was beaten by Pi Han-dong.
“Such a foolish bastard. Didn’t I just say sell it?”
It was only then that Koh Seung-min noticed. That gold is pure gold, but the fact that Handong Pi is taking himself lightly and is trying to beat the price.
-Kadudeuk
The boy gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Give me! I mean give it up!”
However, Handong Pi giggled and laughed.
“Don’t frown, kid. Come, I will educate you.”
-f*ck-!
-Slap-!
-Kwajik-!
Go Seung-min, who was greeted for a while, left the gold and silver room as if he were running away.
-Hwiik-!
“Go away, kid.”
I was able to get out of the gold and silver room only after I was beaten to the point where I couldn’t move properly.
Pihandong sprinkled salt outside as if he was annoyed, and talked to Seungmin Ko.
“Use this gold wisely.”
-Kadudeuk
It was unfair. Now, I am determined to live a good life. I vowed not to covet anyone’s things. However, it was taken out again.
He muttered to himself.
‘As expected. If I don’t take other people’s, I’ll take mine.’
That night. A fire broke out in the gold and silver room.
-Kuluck
– Cool-!
It is known that the cause of the fire is unknown, but in fact it was Ko Seung-min. The late Seung-min set fire to the gold and silver room, and took advantage of the confusion to recover the gold he had sold.
Finding gold wasn’t difficult. Because the gold was shaped like a beautiful key, it was easy to find.
After that, Ko Seung-min became even more black. He didn’t sell gold. He stole other people’s things to fill his stomach, and he made money.
Like that. Having lived in the slums, he went through various jobs and rose to the rank of deputy representative of the slums.
***
Back to the present moment.
Ko Seung-min trembled as he looked at Kang Eun-chan, who exuded a tremendous murder force from a distance.
-Sueuk
Go Seung-min looked at the key-shaped gold hanging around his neck.
‘Even though you gave me a chance, I missed it. The result is such a terrible ending.’
Ko Seung-min only knows Kang Eun-chan as a warrior. In the past, when Kang Eun-chan wore a mask for the people of the city and worked secretly every morning, he did not know because he thoroughly covered his face and identity. The person who helped Ko Seung-min was Kang Eun-chan.
Go Seung-min raised his sword toward Kang Eun-chan.
“Come on.”
Kang Eun-chan looked at Go Seung-min and sighed in surprise.
“You didn’t run away even after seeing it? I will rate it highly. But even then, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Kang Eun-chan ran fast
-Tadadak
Soon afterward, he swung his sword at Go Seung-min with the upper right corner and attacked him.
-Kaaang-!
Go Seung-min received the sword. No, he thought he accepted.
-Ki-yi-yi-yi
I started to hear a creepy sound like crazy from the sword I thought I had received, and soon the sword was completely cut off.
-Changgang-!
“Puha”
Go Seung-min burst into laughter when he saw the sword that had been cut and fell to the ground.
That was absurd. He, who has lived rolling and rolling for such a long time, is himself. A man who could not withstand even a single sword attack. It’s such an unfair confrontation.
-Hoo-wook-!
The late Seung-min took off his upper clothes and, soon after, threw a key-shaped gold bar on the ground and ran to Kang Eun-chan with his bare body. Boring life. If it’s the end that ends in vain like this, I’d rather risk everything.
“aaah-!”
-Suddenly-!
Cold swordsmanship could be heard in the hall, and only key-shaped gold ingots remained on the ground.
***
Inside the Demon King’s Army.
The room of Saris, the Queen of Demons.
“Finally found.”
Saris, who had her eyes closed, and her glinting eyes, shouted to everyone inside.
“Listen to all demon kings!”
She paused for a moment, then spoke.
“We will charge into Goddess Abelia.”
