Episode 466
Obtain darkness (6)
Is it an axe? Or is it a sword?
Will you choose yourself, the grand duke of Byeoksan Yeonga and the world’s greatest late expert, or will you choose the sect of genius who will boast the prestige of a divine sword in the future?
It was a ridiculous choice. In many ways.
“Captain!”
Jeongan was surprised and called Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong did not look at her. He just watches Yang Cheon with cold eyes.
Jeongan said with a calm face.
“You can’t do this.”
This time, Yeon Ho-jeong did not answer.
Jeongan spoke quickly.
“No matter what, the leader sacrifices himself?! “I never wanted an outcome like this…!”
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“Go there.”
“Captain!”
“You are right. Your heart is right. “At least we can’t even compare to those two who are blinded by desire and swayed by a few words.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was just sonorous. It was clear and clear enough for anyone here to hear.
Jeokyeon and Yeonsim’s faces turned red. In particular, Yeonsim’s face seemed to be on fire.
It was because I felt so embarrassed by Yeon Ho-jeong’s words that it gave me goosebumps.
“But reality and ideals are different. You have the right will, but you don’t have the strength to carry it out. If I hadn’t been here today, Buju wouldn’t have met you. “In the worst case scenario, you could have died.”
“…!”
“Justice without power is incompetence, and power without justice is violence. A sword stroke without courage is weaker than a brush stroke, and the courage of someone who does not know the madness of the sword is not as good as the faith of a coward.”
His tone was so firm that it made my bones ache. And those words made Jeongan feel ashamed.
He himself said that there was a clear gap between reality and ideals, but in the end, that was also a light remark from someone who lacked experience. Although I came prepared to die, it was true that I felt reassured because of Yeon Ho-jeong.
“What brought me here. This was possible because your heart was right. “That’s where your role ends.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Just be satisfied with that for now. There aren’t many people who showed me the right path when I was full of confusion. “You did your part well in this situation.”
If you say arrogant, it was an arrogant thing to say. At the same time, it was also a statement acknowledging her.
The fact that there are not many people showing the right path means that the world today is not right.
In such a world, there are not many people who live with a righteous heart like Jeong An.
Jeongan gritted his teeth.
“But… But there’s no need for you to sacrifice yourself for this matter, right?”
“Don’t misunderstand. “Because it’s not a sacrifice.”
“yes?!”
“Unfortunately, I am not as just as you. “I am not a person so naive as to sacrifice my life and future out of pity.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
It was a smile sent to Yang Cheon.
“Isn’t that so?”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
“Are you really going to come out like this?”
“You really thought I would just come to Mukryong obediently?”
“I must confess, I knew that would happen.”
“You were really honest.”
“There’s no point in deceiving you with lies.”
Yang Chen frowned.
“You are asking too much for me because I am greedy. Give up boating? You know it too. “What effort I made and how angry I was.”
The effort refers to breaking Botha’s spirit, and the anger was directed at the leader of the Saeum Church.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“Life is a series of choices. “Choice means giving up something other than possession.”
“Like I said, I’m greedy. There are many cases where you get two birds with one stone.”
“It’s a shame. “Because I’m not a rabbit.”
“Think again. This is good for you too. Besides, one of our tribes has already gone to them. “It means there is no turning back.”
Bothaam is broken. At the very least, it would be difficult for Botaam of the time to regain the same regularity as before. In that case, it would be better to proceed like this.
If it had been Yeonhojeong in the past, it would have been something that could not be helped and would have just accepted it.
“I have made up my mind. And like I said before, this shouldn’t be happening. “If you destroy a house to catch a thief, you will break a few knives because of your carelessness.”
It meant unwritten intervention. To be precise, he was saying that Yeonho could not stop Shaolin’s anger.
“Let’s protect the broken sword and properly repair the house that is about to collapse. “It may be disappointing right now, but it will be better in the long run.”
“Are you telling me to shake off the effort I’ve put in for three years?”
“Didn’t you tell me? An easy life is no fun. “Unpredictability is what makes life richer.”
“Sometimes you have to know how to take it easy.”
“Unfortunately, that seemingly comfortable road is infested with all kinds of wild beasts. “If you run with a smile on your face, you could become food for a wild beast.”
“….”
Yangcheon, who was glaring at Yeonhojeong with cold eyes, soon sighed.
“You really don’t know even though you know. “Sometimes he looks so harsh and vicious that you might think he’s a demon, but other times he looks like Noh Kang-ho, a member of an old-fashioned political faction.”
“Let’s stop talking about this and that and just make this one thing clear.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to Yeon-sim.
“It will take me at least ten years to wield that sword properly. But am I not someone you can grab and swing right now?”
“…!”
“Even if you invest ten more years, it could break if you accidentally make a mistake. Then what about me? In your eyes, do you think I am just a sword that will be broken in vain?”
A sword that will never break.
Yangcheon almost said that without even realizing it.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“There is one thing that the vice-lord overlooked.”
“What is that?”
“If they start a war before the treasured sword becomes a new sword, it would be a complete disaster.”
For a moment, Yang Chen’s eyes wavered.
Yes. The four religions, or the three religions, could start a war even tomorrow.
Of course, it can be said that the probability of that actually happening is very low. Considering the stealth and tactics they have shown so far, even if they attack first, it will be at least several years later.
The problem is that that too is not certain.
“War can break out at any time. “If you let your guard down just because it’s peaceful now, you could become a sacrifice to your enemies.”
“That is…”
“A wise king does not make war. But we are always preparing for war.”
Those words were the final blow.
The three religions are trying to start a war. In other words, he wants to become a conqueror.
Yeon Ho-jeong saw them as unwise.
At the same time, he was talking to Yang Chen. Don’t start a war hastily. It is good to make a preemptive strike against a conqueror, but the advice is to not look down on the enemy and further consolidate your strength in an all-out war with no promise.
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke again.
“Botaam’s divine sword, if refined properly, will exhibit amazing power. However, not only is there no guarantee that the enemy will wait until then, but if you focus on refining the sword, the power of the central plains may be dispersed.”
“….”
“Please look at the situation correctly.”
Yangcheon, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, sighed.
“What you say always makes sense. So I can’t ignore it.”
“At least I hope my words are evaluated as the truth of this moment rather than as truth.”
Yang Chen took a deep breath.
“If you let go of Botha, I will send a dispatch to headquarters…”
“That’s right.”
“So you’re saying you’ll be my limbs and fight for the time being, right?”
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying I’m going to be a careless loyalist. Our purpose is clear. “I just run for that one thing.”
“I know that. However….”
“However, if I want to live here, I will also have to show cuteness that does not suit the lord. “At that moment, I will look at the situation as an ink dragon person, so I don’t think you need to worry too much.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“If what you want is the destruction of the enemy.”
“Huh.”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“Choice is not possession, but giving up…”
Yang Cheon, who was thinking deeply, turned his head and looked at Jeok Yeon and Yeonsim.
Yeonsim’s face was still red. He seemed very embarrassed and confused.
On the other hand, Jeokyeon’s face was different. It was as red as a lotus heart, but its redness was like a volcano about to explode.
She did not properly understand the conversation between Yang Cheon and Yeon Ho Jeong. But I knew this one thing clearly.
They are ignoring Botha.
Just one late index is enough to replace Bottas? Putting the two side by side was itself a challenge for Botha. This is a ridiculous deal.
What was even more surprising was that Yang Cheon thought about it and seemed like he would join hands with that n.a.k.e.d thunderbolt rather than Yeonhwamun.
Joining hands with Yeonhojeong means joining hands with Jeongan. Joining hands with Jeongan means giving power to Tiananmen.
This is how the current situation was interpreted by Jeok Yeon. Her narrow mind was so abnormal.
Yang Chen said.
“Yeonhwamunju.”
“….”
Jeok Yeon did not answer. This is because it felt like a double curse would burst out if I opened my mouth.
“This is unfortunate. “From my perspective, I want to help you and get this friend, but the situation is not conducive.”
“….”
“I waited a long time, but I’m sorry. As an apology…”
“What on earth are you doing?”
A suppressed voice came out from Jeokyeon’s mouth.
Yang Chen’s eyes twitched.
“act?”
“Isn’t it?”
Fortunately, since the opponent was Yangcheon, no insults were thrown. If it weren’t for the strength of Shengtian, he would have already pulled out his sword and tried to cut off his head.
Jeokyeon shouted.
“We have come a thousand miles to meet you! I endured insults while waiting for you who never met me! But is this the result?!”
“Didn’t you hear what this guy said? That’s what life is all about. “You never know when and where ridiculous variables will pop up.”
“Say that now!”
Jeokyeon is grinning. Yang Chen looked at her with deep eyes.
Jeokyeon, who had been glaring at Yang Cheon for a long time, growled softly.
“I am truly disappointed. “When we meet again in the future, we will be enemies.”
“This is why the world is interesting. Like the reality you are facing now, I never thought there would come a time when I would calmly accept the rudeness shown by someone like you.”
Yang Chen smiled.
“This is a world where tigers and lions run wild. Don’t think you’re a beast just because you cut a little. “You’re still a cat.”
“joy!”
Jeokyeon jerked his body around.
“Love! “Let’s go back!”
Yeon-sim followed Jeok-yeon with a puzzled expression. Looking at him hesitating, it seemed like he still didn’t understand what was going on.
It was then.
“What are we going to do?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was particularly sharp.
Is that why? Not only Yang Chen, but even Jeok Yeon and Yeonsim looked at him. Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was so powerful.
Yang Chen frowned.
“What else is the problem?”
“Didn’t you tell me? “Even if we can’t rebuild the house that the landlord destroyed, we have to repair it.”
“…hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed at Jeok-yeon with his thumb without even looking back.
“Are you not going to repair it?”
“…!”
“It seems like you didn’t even think about it until then. “Actually, it is an item that is not suitable for someone of the rank of a vice owner to use.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his shoulders.
Crump! The sound rang out loudly.
“Please contact Uibang in advance. “There’s going to be a patient. He’ll rot for about ten years.”
