last day (2)
“It’s such a rough day.”
The young man’s voice, which was neither too low nor too high, was very pleasant to hear.
“Confucius. “Please put on another fur coat.”
“are you okay.”
“but… … .”
“With your help, my energy circulation has become much more free than before. “Sooner or later, you’ll be able to do as much as everyone else.”
The young man’s voice was filled with calm confidence.
The woman, the young man’s servant and bodyguard, felt proud of the young man while also being worried about him.
It may be blasphemous for a subordinate to think highly of a superior, but she had seen the weak side of a young man countless times when she was young.
But what about his master now?
I am here after overcoming many hardships. No, even at this moment, his ordeal has not disappeared. Every day must be terrible just because of the worry and pain of your blood relatives.
However, the young man did not show any such signs.
If it was something that could be solved by worrying, I would have stayed up all night worrying. However, the young man knew the pros and cons of things, and so he maintained his composure even though he possessed the power of a demon.
‘You’ve become stronger.’
It wasn’t because Magic Gong had grown. The woman could see that the person itself had grown.
So she was sure. That her own master would be a greater monarch than any of her predecessors.
Thanks to Jeondae, which burned away the bad relationships he had endured and gave him true freedom, the young man was able to stand on the foundation of becoming truly strong.
‘The moment Confucius can freely manipulate power, the world will be surprised by the emergence of a genius.’
Suddenly, the woman remembered one person.
When I think of geniuses, that person naturally comes to mind. It cannot be said that it is a good relationship with empty words, but without him, neither he nor his master would have been able to face the current reality.
‘He is the master of the Black Island Alliance… … .’
At that time, the young man spoke.
“Yeon Sobuju, or should I say Yeon Seongju now?”
“yes? Ah yes.”
“okay… … .”
The young man smiled and looked up at the sky.
“For some reason, I want to meet Lord Yeon today.”
The woman said with a dissatisfied face.
“Confucius. Please refrain from using such honorifics.”
“He is the one who took control of the huge Black Island Alliance. “He is worthy of respect regardless of his tribe.”
“That’s true.”
The young man knew why the woman was like this. This is probably because she disapproves of the fact that there is someone better than her master.
“Hyang-ah.”
“Yes, master.”
“As you know, there are many people in the world who are born with monstrous talents. He’s a real monster at the peak of them all. Unfortunately, I haven’t even reached his feet yet.”
“master. “Master, one day, I will definitely be in a position to look down on him.”
“Haha, thank you for your words. Yes, we should really try to make that happen. But reality is reality. Thanks to him, you and I can enter a new era. “I am grateful for your loyalty to me, but I must not forget my gratitude to him.”
The woman, who was looking at the young man with trembling eyes, lowered her head.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
At that time, a cheerful voice was heard from afar.
“It’s great to hear a loving conversation between master and servant.”
It was a voice that was even sonorous. Just hearing it made me say that he was a pleasant boy.
The young man, Cheon Hyo-rak, said with a smile.
“Have you been there?”
“What?”
Makwon, a middle-aged man, placed the large luggage he was carrying on his back in front of the young man.
The luggage contained nine canteens and food that had not yet cooled down.
“The atmosphere around was quite chaotic. “I took a quick look and it looks like people from the North Sea Ice Palace have entered the central area.”
“Binggung?”
“okay.”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes sparkled.
He had also heard of the North Sea Ice Palace. It is said that it is a mysterious sect with a history of over a thousand years, and that mystics who practice extreme ice skills that do not exist in the world build an ice palace and live there.
Of course, no one knows if that is true. However, everyone acknowledged that they were an organization with great power.
“The situation is like this, but the Binggung people have entered the central plain… … Could it possibly be related to the Three Religions?”
Makwon said, tearing off a chicken leg.
“I don’t know that. “To begin with, I don’t know much about Moorim.”
“Your insight is too great to say that.”
“Chicken thigh meat tastes better when you eat compliments as a side dish.”
“ha ha ha.”
“Well, I think there’s a good chance.”
Cheon Hyo-rak’s expression became serious.
“Are you saying that Bingung and the Samgyo might have joined hands?”
“Like I said, I don’t know much about Moorim. Furthermore, how would you know when you have no information about them at all? However, I know this one thing.”
“… … .”
“There is a saying that although there is fate in this world, there is no coincidence.”
“Did you say something like that?”
“That’s what my master often said.”
“okay.”
Makwon looked south in the distance.
A strong wind blew across the open plain and the white snow field. The snow powder blowing away due to the strong wind was spectacular.
“I heard that Bingunggung is located in the northeast, a long way from Sae-oe. “They said it was so far away that no one dared to go there.”
“That’s right. “They said it was so far away from Cheonghae, where Shinmarim is located, that it could almost be considered the end of the world.”
“However, although it is far away, the three religions can see it as being within their territory. Of course, I don’t know the headquarters of the Three Religions, but you do know that they are in the north, right?”
“Of course.”
“It’s not like there’s no connection at all. “Whether it is a friendly relationship or an enemy, there will be something.”
Hwahyang quietly intervened.
“Otherwise, Bingungdo could have already been eaten by the three religions.”
Makwon nodded.
“That’s a possibility. Anyway, I think they might be related to the Three Religions in some way. “I don’t know anything else now.”
Cheon Hyo-rak said while tearing into the meat.
“I guess I should go and see.”
Mak Won looked at Cheon Hyorak and said.
“It’s good to speed up, but what should we do?”
“It’s not me that’s the problem, it’s senior Mak. “There might come a time when you need me.”
“Hey, how many outstanding people are there in the central plains?”
“I understand that if one absolute expert who has reached the level of heaven disappears, at least one large sect must be added to fill the void in military power. “Isn’t Senior Mak’s influence that great?”
Makwon chuckled.
“I didn’t come into this world to exert influence or anything like that. I just liked Yeon’s younger brother. “It’s much better to hear the name of a man’s younger brother, a woman’s husband, or an old man’s child than the nickname Baek Byeong-shin.”
Makwon’s words really show how simple his personality is.
Cheon Hyorak had no choice but to admit it. He said that one of the reasons he was able to be so calm was because of Makwon.
Mak Won was not as sharp as Yeon Ho-jeong, as smart as Zhuge Mun-ho, or as experienced as many of the linemen in Immortal Emperor.
Still, he was strong. He was a good person and a wonderful person to live with.
“Anyway, please go quickly. “People here say the wind will blow stronger tomorrow.”
“okay? “When did you ask me that again?”
“I had a hard time with the scent.”
Hwahyang lowered her head as if she was embarrassed.
“I haven’t done much, Confucius.”
Makwon laughed out loud.
“It’s nice to see. Once I figured it out. Let’s eat quickly and go over to the snow field today.”
“yes.”
After a hearty meal for the first time in a long time, the group quickly crossed the snow field.
There is quite a bit of time left before the world becomes dark, but if you don’t move on quickly, it will be difficult to get your bearings. The night in this area was so mysterious and scary that it could fool even a master’s eyes.
How much time has passed?
“… … .”
Makwon, who was walking at the front, stopped.
Cheon Hyorak asked.
“Seniors?”
“… … .”
“Seniors.”
Makwon looked at Hwahyang.
“Do you think you can carry this guy and cross that bridge today?”
The place Makwon pointed to was a vaguely visible mountain beyond a plain full of snow.
Hwahyang nodded without realizing it.
“Well, I will do that.”
In fact, it was close to impossible. At first glance, the distance from here to that mountain was hundreds of miles. Covering that distance in a short period of time and then crossing the mountain was difficult even for a martial arts expert.
But the answer has come, and now that the answer is there, Hwahyang will run with all her might. That was enough for Makwon.
Cheon Hyorak opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“Seniors.”
“I don’t know when I will be able to go back. Still, I’m glad we can come this far together.”
“What on earth is going on?”
“It’s a personal matter. “It’s none of your business.”
“… … .”
“I was planning to head to Shaanxi, but I think it would be better to go to Sacheon just in case. As you may know, it will be quite difficult to enter Sacheon from here. The terrain itself is like that. But since there is a flower pot, it will be okay.”
“Seniors!”
“Go to Tangga. Go and receive temporary protection, then go to the Murim Alliance or Heukje Castle. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes wavered.
But that too for a while.
“See you again.”
“Okay, don’t worry.”
That was the end of those words. He wanted to ask more, but Cheon Hyorak was sure that Makwon would not answer no matter how many times he asked.
Hwahyang quickly carried Cheon Hyorak on his back and unfolded the divine law.
Her new brother moved away in an instant.
“Shit.”
Makwon sighed.
“I have no idea what’s going on. “If I had known this would happen, I would have run for my life from the beginning.”
The white spear in his hand let out a cry.
This was one of the infantry units in Shinmarim, and was called Baeknoechang (白雷槍). It was a new weapon that Hyorak Cheon gave to Makwon as a gift.
Saaaaagh!
As the new soldier cried, the deadly air flowing through the cold, dry wind stung Makwon’s skin.
Makwon looked north.
“… … !”
The shadow of someone riding a horse appeared beyond the swirling snow.
It was so far away that I couldn’t even hear the sound of horses’ hooves. But Makwon thought. If you hold the reins and shake them once, you will be able to run all the way here in an instant.
Even though the distance was so far away and only the shadow was blurred, I could see how huge the horse was.
Makwon’s eyes trembled.
‘Red dragon.’
Red dragon.
One of those names that I forgot, forgot, and forgot again.
Whiiiiiiiing!
A wind blew from somewhere and threw snow powder in all directions.
As time passed, their appearance was finally visible in Makwon’s field of vision.
A huge horse, a huge man riding on it.
And after that, dozens of horseback riders appeared.
However, Makwon could only see one man riding a divine horse called Jeokryong.
Eyes as wide as a tiger. His gray-white hair stretched out in all directions like a lion’s mane.
The skin was like an old tree, but it went well with the man’s dignified spirit.
His body was larger than that of Makwon, and in particular, the black long spear he was holding in one hand was emitting a terrifying divine energy that was enough to make your eyes widen just by looking at it.
The sight of him holding a black divine spear suited him very well. The look in her eyes as she gazes at the world while riding her horse has not changed at all from decades ago.
A voice like a moan came out of Makwon’s mouth.
“execution… … .”
