Chapter 125
“Eun Gong.”
Today’s Lee So-wol was especially beautiful. Her hair, which was tied up with a jade-colored hairpin in a white palace like her snow, was glossy.
Although she still looks haggard, probably because she went through a series of hardships, she has such a dazzling beauty that even that looks attractive.
No, what am I thinking?’
Beauty? attractive? Isn’t seventeen the age to wear a school uniform? In reality, it’s time to prepare for the future, not marriage.
He is two years younger than Ha-yeon, so there is a ten-year age difference between me and me. This is no different than a niece or nephew.
‘But it’s definitely not mature enough for my age… … no. Let’s calm down.’
He took a fist while avoiding Lee So-wol’s deep gaze.
“hello.”
“See Munju.”
Lee So-wol is not an ordinary girl, but the head of a school. It was at that time that she was trying to reciprocate the polite greeting of me and Jin Moo-gyeong.
“To hear that Lord Mun of the Great Hangsan Inspection came out personally. Resurrection Hyuk Moo-jin, I was truly thrilled!”
Yes, I’m sorry if you fall out.
I can only sigh when I see Hyuk Moo-jin swaying his waist with his eyes fixed on her.
“sorry. He’s a little lacking in originality.”
“… … captain.”
“You see? Pretending to be friends when you’re not in any relationship with me. It’s easier if you just ignore it.”
There was a slight dimple at the corner of Lee So-wol’s mouth.
“no. He is also a benefactor who fought for the text.”
“are you okay. That guy didn’t even lift a sword, so you don’t have to hit him as a benefactor.”
“… … Ah yes.”
It was the moment when her smile became awkward at my kind fact check.
“It’s a benefactor, for me.”
The man with a gruff voice behind Lee So-wol was a gray-haired man. Sitting on a rattling wooden cart, he greets me with his eyes.
“Please excuse me for not being able to wake up. It’s true, now that I’m older, my body isn’t what it used to be.”
With age and reputation, no one in this place can follow the mature man in front of them.
Hyuk Mu-jin quickly bent his back at the appearance of Hang San-ho Cheolmu-baek.
“Meet Cheolmubaek Daehyeop… … “
“Are you seeing my face for the first time? Leave the cumbersome greetings aside.”
“Still, he is the great senior of Moorim with a great reputation… …
“What is a senior? Living in Moorim is tiring if you think about it one by one.”
As Hyuk Moo-jin, who is not envious of being shameless, quietly distorted, then it was Jin Moo-kyung’s turn.
“Are you here?”
Nothing too great. In one short word, he took the right hand. However, flowers bloomed on Cheolmu-baek’s face when he discovered Jinmu-gyeong.
“Hey, isn’t it our Jincheon sword?
So, are you going now?”
“It happened.”
“Why, why don’t you stay a little longer? Later, we will talk about martial arts in depth. huh?”
“sorry. Time is running out.”
“There is nothing I can do about it. If so, will you come and see this old man later?”
“Kang Ho-eui’s great senior is teaching me a few things, but rather, this junior is what I would like to ask.”
“Uh-huh! It’s good to hear that you’re a junior.”
What kind of picture is this?
I only stayed for three or three days at most, but it seems like I’m seeing good grandparents and grandparents.
Besides, what? A while ago, he said he was tired of living in the world when it comes to ranking seniors and juniors. Look at him changing his words.
I glanced at Hyukmujin.
‘Those two. Why are you like that?’
‘I don’t know, when do you say benefactor? Can I discriminate against people this much?’
‘But to be honest, you haven’t done anything.’
Seeing how he kept his mouth shut with an angry face, it seems that my intentions were fully conveyed.
“Okay, see you next time.”
Cheolmubaek looked at Jinmu-gyeong with a heartwarming smile and turned his head toward me.
“Do you have anything to say?”
If I said that I felt the eyes of a beast for a moment, is it because of my mood?
I decided to follow the better of the two previous examples.
“Are you here?”
“Then did you come or go?”
isn’t this
But laughing when it’s hard is the best way. He smiled, not embarrassed.
“Are you feeling well?”
This time, Cheolmubaek shook the splinted limb.
“Does it look okay?”
“… … no.”
“If it was okay, I would have walked. These days, magicians work without a retirement age, so can an old man like me survive?”
The old man has a good memory. It seems that the mistake I made when we first met is still in my heart.
Lee So-wol, who had no way of knowing the situation, shouted with a puzzled face.
“Uncle!”
“Oh, the old man is going to fall deaf.”
He grumbled and suddenly bowed his head politely.
“Thank you everyone.”
It is not a reluctant greeting.
Anti-corrosion steel bar. Nogosu, who had only walked his own path for so many years, was speaking with all his heart.
“It’s not because you increased the lifeline of an old man who had few left. Sowol, thank you for protecting that child. Thanks to you, the Hengsan Checkpoint was able to survive.”
He came out with calm eyes and gazed at Jin Moo-gyeong and Hyuk Moo-jin in turn.
“There is a fact that I realized while living more than a pack of books. A favor has to be repaid at any cost.
I swear here, I will never forget this until I die. Even at the cost of my life, if you wish.”
Lee So-wol immediately took over Cheolmu-baek’s words.
“I will remember the benefactors at the Hangsan Checkpoint. Also, the mistake my deceased father made… … I take this opportunity to apologize.”
“I apologize!”
“Please forgive me!”
Loud shouts erupted from the mouths of the soldiers at the Hangsan Checkpoint.
All of them, with large and small injuries, knelt in the still unmelted snow, waiting for our answer.
Took.
– You answer.
I licked my parched lips at the tone of Jin Mu-gyeong.
‘Forgive me.’
The war was won, but scars remained.
Soldiers who constantly fought and died according to orders, and even women and children who had not learned martial arts were sacrificed. This was done by two thousand hundred blinded by his son’s revenge.
The wounds left by the war with Hangsan Checkpoint were deep, and it will take a long time to heal.
‘And there will be scars.’
Some types of scars cannot be erased forever.
Young siblings who lost their home and parents in an instant would be like that, and so am I. Seeing that the face of the guy who had the absurd dream of being the best person in all times and times still shimmers.
However, it cannot be denied that the present is in the process of being sutured.
‘Because all the people who hurt him are dead.’
The elder and Icheonbaek, who each dreamed of revenge, have already met their end.
Isn’t that why we’ve been running for days and nights to save the Hengsan checkpoint?
If there is a sincere apology and forgiveness… … Wounds can heal, even if they leave scars.
like right now
“I will not accept your apology.”
A word that came out after much thought. I continued without waiting for the reaction of others.
“Because I am not a person who deserves to be forgiven and forgive someone.”
No one in this room deserves that. The people they need to apologize for are in Taewon.
Lee So-wol and Cheol Mu-baek nodded as if they understood my words.
“I’ll see you when I return.”
“It’s Taewon. It will be my first outing in 30 years.”
Hangshan inspection is an unwelcome guest. Particularly in the present, when it has shrunk so badly, it can be subjected to all sorts of humiliation and humiliation.
But this is also a problem they all have to endure. There’s nothing I can do, and there’s no reason to intervene.
– Good job.
I said my last goodbye while listening to Jin Moo-gyeong’s short telephony.
“Enough then.”
It was at that moment when he was about to turn back towards the carriage.
“Eun Gong.”
“yes?”
“You know what? That there is less than 15 days left until the fabric.”
Lee So-wol’s voice like a stream continued.
“An answer I didn’t hear last time, I’ll look forward to it.”
Jin Moo-gyeong pulled me away, who was just speechless in embarrassment.
Finally, after hearing the uneasy coughing sound of the cheolmubag coming from behind, the carriage started off vigorously.
The way back to Taiwon Jinga was quick and smooth. The coachman’s skillful workmanship also played a role, but as the impatience disappeared, everything felt that way.
rear
Jin Moo-gyeong, who had just finished breakfast, suddenly muttered.
“Come to think of it, I couldn’t even see the peak martial arts.”
He was enticed by Jinwigyeong, who said that he could see the pinnacle of martial arts if he went to the Hengsan Checkpoint, and accompanied him. I responded politely.
“are you okay. Thanks to Pungyang, you were able to visit Mt. Beomang.”
“Are you saying that kind of comfort?”
“No, I was kidding.”
The sound of bones snapping was heard in Jimin’s hands.
“You’ve grown a lot.”
“If you recover from your injuries, will you play a martial arts match?”
“Even right now… … grunt.”
Jin Moo-kyung, who was about to get up from his seat, frowned.
No matter how fast the recovery is, it’s only four days now. It took a very short time for his injuries to fully recover.
The guy who collapsed on the seat glared at me.
“Be lucky.”
“I don’t know if you’re lucky, and one of the silk strings is incredibly thick.”
Seeing that he lives even in the face of death every time, it seems that he has a strong string from birth. Or maybe you’ve been blessed with luck.
“Well done anyway.”
“huh?”
”Eeeing?”
Me and Hyuk Moo-jin opened their eyes wide at the same time as the sudden compliment sticker.
It is the face of the person concerned saying what is wrong.
“Why are you like that? They look like they’ve heard even words they couldn’t hear.”
“There are no ghosts.”
“Ah, isn’t it possible that you have already died from Poongyang and become a vengeful spirit and are here?”
It was quite a plausible hypothesis, but in front of Jin Moo-gyeong, you should watch your mouth whether you are sleeping or waking up.
I looked at Hyukmujin, who had been beaten to dust, and groped in his arms.
‘Open inventory. Summons.’
The next moment, something round and solid touched my fingertips.
Poongyang left behind. No, it is the only item taken from Fengyang.
‘Check the item.’
belt ring.
[Latency Team]
Rating: ???
Restriction: [Climax Unmanned] Abnormal effect: Combat-related stats +100
[Spirit] +15 years
[Self-defense] Can be used Description: A single ring manufactured by [someone unknown]. Instead of drastically increasing the user’s latent power for about an hour, the cost follows. Don’t take it unless it’s the worst case scenario.
Even considering the short time limit, the ignorant effect. It’s understandable why Fengyang was so confident.
I don’t know how serious the aftereffects are, but if your life is at stake right now, you should eat not two, but twenty.
‘It’s a single ring manufactured by someone unknown.’
The item grade is also a question mark, the exact sequelae are not listed, and even the manufacturer is veiled.
What the hell kind of guy created such a weird thing?
‘This smells like vibrating.’
It was the time when I was immersed in thought while rolling the latent force in my hand.
Someone’s cry is heard faintly from far away.
– Moo-kyung! Taekyung Ahh!!
Jin Moo-gyeong, who was passionately slapping Hyuk Moo-jin on the forehead, hesitated.
“Is it an auditory hallucination?”
yes no
