00641 Leaving the Steel Mountains. ————————————————– ———————-=
The morning at the northwest fortress was more noisy than ever. Users arranging the tent, users checking the number of people, users who have already completed all preparations and are peeling the tent, etc. Every visible user is preparing to leave with a bright face. Perhaps because the entire expedition team had gathered, I felt a strong sense of repair today.
‘Were we the first?’
It was concluded that the Southern Expeditionary Force would be at the forefront of the remaining advance. We were at the forefront when attacking the second area, and this time we were placed in the same position. In other words, he is responsible for leading the entire expedition team, and has an important mission of his own.
All clan members are probably gathered at the front by now. Because Jeong Ha-yeon’s personality is such that she can’t stand being delayed, she would force them to come out and make them wait. (Actually, it’s hard to imagine that Jeong Ha-yeon, who has a virtuous image, would force someone to come out. However, Ahn Hyeon and other clan members said, ‘Is there an older brother? “People are so different when they are there and when they are not.” They all testified together, so it doesn’t seem like it’s something that doesn’t happen at all.)
Anyway, I thought I had to go quickly, so I hurriedly walked through the gap of users.
“Oh, I don’t like it! Why do you keep trying to leave a bunch of luggage with me?”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from somewhere.
‘What’s going on?’
As I walked towards the sound, I could see a group of users surrounding the center of the fortress.
“Gong Chan-ho. Don’t do that… .”
“I don’t like it, I don’t like it! Why are you asking me to do this?!”
Inside the round circle, my brother and Gong Chan-ho were in the middle of an argument. I felt puzzled for a moment, but as I watched Gong Chan-ho point at Mjolnir and scream, I was able to get a general idea. I think he asked me to carry it during this march (Mjolnir is almost the size of an adult man and is quite heavy), but it looks like Gong Chan-ho is complaining that he doesn’t like it.
“I heard it last time, I heard it last time too! Again this time? “Oh really.”
“When I checked, there was a restriction that only melee classes could be used. And I’m not just asking you to do it, I’m doing it because I plan to give it to you.”
“Oh, that’s it. Just keep it, Emperor, okay?! “I don’t need this?”
“Don’t do that, just help me. Look, everyone around you is hoping you will listen.”
Then Gong Chan-ho opened his eyes fiercely and looked around. As the users all turned their faces, their eyes suddenly found me. Gong Chan-ho suddenly looked like he was doing well, pointed at me, and opened his mouth.
“Oh, that’s good. That Mercenary Road… .”
“no.”
But my brother answered quickly.
“What, what?”
“Soohyeon says no.”
“Why not?”
“Because from now on, Soohyun won’t have a drop of water on her hands.”
My brother puffed out his chest and spoke in a confident voice. Gong Chan-ho looked so dumbfounded that he seemed at a loss for words, and muffled laughter could be heard from those around him. … It’s been a long time since I felt this warm.
After a while, Gong Chan-ho, shaking his head, turned around and snorted.
“Anyway, I have no intention of taking on this burden… .”
“There you go, don’t worry too much. Hey, I’ll just take it with me!”
It was then. Gong Chan-ho said, ‘Chuhodo…’ .’ The moment I said that, someone suddenly shouted in a similar voice. Then, Gong Chan-ho looked dumbfounded for a moment and quickly looked around.
“what… .”
“Well, don’t be too thankful! “It’s natural for me to lift because I’m strong!”
“W-Who are you! Someone is imitating me now! this… !”
“This is nothing! ha ha ha!”
Wow, this is huge. It’s surprising that they have the same voice, but the timing of their sentences is truly amazing.
Anyway, I don’t know who it is, but I decided to take advantage of this opportunity(?). On top of that, I also help my brother.
“Um, Gong Chan-ho. You are willing to step forward… . “I saw it again, really.”
Then Gong Chan-ho suddenly turned to me and widened his eyes.
“What, what nonsense? The voice just… !”
“Now, applaud.”
But I applauded without even listening to the end. The users looked confused at first, but soon began to applaud as if they realized my intention. Soon, Gong Chan-ho’s face suddenly turns red.
“shut up! Where are you doing the renovation now? !”
Clap clap clap… .
“Hey, profit!”
Clap clap clap clap… .
As the applause continued, Gong Chan-ho seemed to be able to hold on for a while, but ended up grabbing Mjolnir while spouting out harsh curses. This is why crowd psychology is so scary. Mmmmm.
‘That was a very nice reception, Clan Lord!’
At that time, a refreshing voice suddenly rang in my head. When I turn my attention to the spot where I felt her magic, I see Shin Jae-ryong with a bitter smile on his face, and Pyo Hye-mi with her face sticking out from behind Shin Jae-ryong… . No, Jegal Haesol’s face came into view. I was finally able to find out who the main character who imitated Gong Chan-ho’s voice was.
Jegal Haesol, who had a calm face, was staring at me from the beginning. As if he were asking how his vocal imitation skills were. Instead of answering, I gently raised my left thumb.
Only then did Jegal Haesol smile brightly and respond by drawing a V with his fingers.
‘She is such a talented woman.’
*
As the sun fully rose, Han So-young, who served as the vanguard of the 3rd expedition team, signaled departure. In effect, the final march in the Steel Mountains had begun.
As more than 10,000 users marched, the surrounding area was filled with the sound of footsteps… .
“Shit!”
… The car may have been normal, but the reality was not.
“Damn it!”
It’s especially quiet around Gong Chan-ho. Gong Chan-ho, who was walking while carrying Mjolnir on his back, occasionally spewed angry curses and made a murderous face. It’s as if he wants to get caught by anyone. The users, overwhelmed by the momentum, all kept their mouths shut and muffled their footsteps as much as possible.
I looked at Gong Chan-ho quietly and then quietly approached his side. In fact, since the advance had begun, it was normal to go to the assigned position, but after briefly asking for understanding from Han So-young, he moved to the rear. Because there was one thing I wanted to check with Gong Chan-ho.
“Hey, Gong Chan-ho.”
“yes? who… ! … Kim Soohyun?”
Gong Chan-ho got angry as soon as I called him, but he looked shocked when he saw me. But even for a moment. He immediately contorted his face and continued speaking.
“What is this, you shameful bastard!”
“What a shame. “You’re being harsh.”
“If you came here to make fun of me… !”
“no. “I have a question.”
I quickly stopped talking.
“… Have a question? To me?”
This may have been unexpected, but Gong Chan-ho calmed down his anger and made a strange expression. Taking advantage of that opportunity, I quickly nodded my head and quietly opened my mouth.
“Why did you reject Mjolnir earlier?”
“huh? “What are you talking about now?”
“From what I heard, it seems like your brother tried to give you Mjolnir, but didn’t you say no?”
“yes. however?”
Gong Chan-ho asked back as if there was something important.
“Why did you refuse?”
“Because I am a spear soldier. Mjolnir is a hammer. However, the information provided is not better than Sura.”
For someone like Gong Chan-ho, he answered clearly. But I still don’t understand.
“But Mjolnir is quite useful, right? “With your strength, there won’t be any major problems handling it, and there may be times when Mjolnir is more appropriate to use in certain situations.”
“… “Ah, I was wondering what you were talking about.”
Gong Chan-ho seemed to have finally realized the true meaning of my question and looked lost in thought for a moment. And after a while, he regained his appetite, moved his free hand, and took out the Sura Demon Spear. The jet-black spear, which boasted an alluring appearance, was still spreading ominous energy everywhere.
Gong Chan-ho opened his mouth.
“I know what you want to say, but I have no intention of using any other weapon than this spear.”
“why?”
“The reason is simple. I don’t know what you may think, but ever since I got this weapon, I’ve thought of Surama Spear almost as a lover. That’s why you can’t think about changing it carelessly.”
“You think of us as lovers? How can a weapon be a lover? “Your lover is Seong Hayan.”
I asked seriously. Since I had the value that weapons are nothing more than tools to begin with, I couldn’t understand Gong Chan-ho’s words at all.
“Oh, I didn’t mean that! “Think of it as a partner!”
However, Gong Chan-ho looked as if he was going to die from stuffiness, and he waved his Surama spear and spit.
“Change your stance and think! I don’t know what your sword is like, but Sura is a sword with a strong ego. Anyway, he chose me so he could use him. “The process of going through the ownership ceremony doesn’t exist for nothing, right?”
Ugh~.
It was then. While I was in the middle of listening to Gong Chan-ho, a short black sound suddenly came out from around my waist. Mugeom, who had been quiet until now, suddenly reacted. However, Gong Chan-ho seemed not to have heard and was still talking.
“In other words, from the weapon’s perspective, it is like giving both body and soul to its owner. But instead of the owner using it, he just changed to another weapon. “How would you feel if you were in the position of a weapon?”
Ughhh~.
“Oh, of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s just a sword hanging in any blacksmith shop. But things like Sura are different. You know that it is a weapon with extraordinary power. These weapons usually have egos, and their pride is that strong. “Unless it’s a weapon that really shows a significant difference, it means that it thinks it’s the weapon that best suits its owner.”
Ughhhhhhh~.
“So in the end, what’s important is the vice principal, the vice principal. No matter the situation, the weapon remembers and retains everything it experienced from the moment it met its owner. As these things accumulate one by one, the weapon begins to think about itself and seek changes. For example, Sura knows the bad habits that I often make mistakes. And during battle, when that habit comes up without you knowing, there are times when it helps you make your own decisions, move, and attack accurately. Or, during a crisis, he saved my life by activating an ability I didn’t know about.”
Ughhhhhhhhh~.
Gong Chan-ho’s words were unexpectedly verbose, but they were also nutritious explanations. I feel like I’ve gotten a little closer to the secret about martial arts that I’ve been thinking about for so long.
However, if there was one problem, it was Mugum’s reaction.
“… By the way, I think I’ve been hearing a strange noise since a while ago. “Didn’t you hear it?”
Gong Chan-ho’s eyes lit up with suspicion as if he had finally heard it, but he couldn’t bring himself to tell the truth. Every time Gong Chan-ho speaks, the blackness of the sword that constantly responds, ‘That’s right, that’s right, you’re right!’ Because it seemed like he was adding a hint.
… Wouldn’t it be better to change the topic first?
“Oh, it’s nothing. Anyway, thank you for your answer.”
I shrugged my shoulders and spoke politely.
“… Tsk. “The story took longer than I expected.”
Gong Chan-ho clicked his tongue once, then turned around and started walking away.
Ugh!
At that time, suddenly, Mugeom cried loudly.
“uh?”
This time, Gong Chan-ho seemed to have clearly heard and stopped walking. Although I was taken aback for a moment, I moved my feet as fast as I could. Then, he pretended to go forward and left the procession, then raised his sword and stared at it.
Then, the martial sword sheds its darkness once again. Am I mistaken if I feel like this guy is quite rebellious today?
I opened my mouth quietly.
“Hey, why are you like this all of a sudden? “Are you saying you heard that?”
Ugh?
“I understand, I understand. “I fully understand what Gong Chan-ho said, so let’s be quiet.”
Ugh?
‘This guy?’
Did you seize the day today?
Although he said he understood what Gong Chan-ho said, he never said he would accept it.
I brought the sword so that it was almost touching my face and continued speaking in a whisper.
“If you cry one more time, I will throw you in Gong Chan-ho’s asshole. “Of course.”
right… ?!
Mugeom soon became quiet.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello.
I had a good rest yesterday. Perhaps because I got enough sleep, I felt like the world looked beautiful when I woke up in the morning. ha ha ha. Thanks to you, I think I was able to publish the series at midnight today.
But as promised yesterday, we were supposed to upload one more episode today, right? This is to make up for the episodes that were not uploaded.
Yes, I am working hard on writing and refining it right now. It seems difficult to upload it right away, so we will update it by noon (12:00) on the same day at the latest. Enjoy your lunch and stop by for a break to see the next episode. 🙂
Now I’m going to go write the rest! (If you feel like I’m a little soft today, think it’s because I slept well! Hahaha.)
Well, I hope all readers have a good night.
P.S. I’ll reply to your message over the weekend!
