Episode 35
A hospital room in the Medicine King Hall.
Hyuk Moo-jin, who was wrapped in bandages all over his body, groaned and groaned.
“I will die.”
Han-yeop, who was lying in the same shape next to him, responded.
“It’s a miracle he didn’t die.”
“right?”
“Yes.”
There was silence for a while. Both of them were recalling memories of that day.
Jo Pil’s first chapter (一掌). It was an attack that could not be stopped. When I closed my eyes, I remembered the man’s red-hot palm. It may be a nightmare that will follow you for the rest of your life.
“What a monster. How is that possible?”
“He is a master at his peak.”
Unlike Hyuk Moo-jin, who was in a state of collapse, Han-yeop’s voice was calm.
“Hey man. Are you okay?”
“What?”
“that.”
Hyuk Moo-jin was speechless for a moment. I know. It could be nothing.
“No, I don’t mean that… …
“I know.”
“huh?”
“What is the vice-captain thinking? what he wants to say.”
“When I first came to my senses, I had so many thoughts. The relief of being alive. The helplessness I felt then and the hopelessness of my martial arts.”
Hyukmujin kept his mouth shut. Han Yeop’s words were correct. Jo Pil’s flame kidneys broke his bones and tore his heart veins, but the wounds he suffered were different.
One question that has lingered in my head since that day.
‘Can I reach that level?’
Even the word overwhelming is not enough. The efforts so far, the pride in one’s martial arts have been completely uprooted.
“Did you shake it all off?”
Han Yeop shook his head.
“then?”
“It was an admission that I was weak. It wasn’t too difficult.
because I always knew but… … «..?”
“You will be strong. as much as the pencil. No, much more than Jo-pil.”
Han Yeop spoke in a powerful voice.
“Thinking about it made me happy. If I become a peak master, I can become that strong. What do you think?”
“Stay at your peak.”
The peak is an area that is only allowed to a very few. Han-yeop’s declaration, which was only second-rate and third-rate, was even laughable.
However, Hyuk Moo-jin did not laugh.
‘You’ve changed. This guy too.’
A lot has changed in the meantime. situations and people.
Even the timid, second-rate samurai joined the trend. Hyukmujin suddenly felt his heart pounding. The next moment, a word came out of nowhere.
“I will become stronger.”
Hearing that, Han Yeop opened his eyes wide and smiled.
“It will definitely happen. We have to catch up with one person first.”
They thought of one person at the same time. Taekyung Jin. What is he doing now who is already running in front of me?
Behind the two men lost in thought, the door that had been opened quickly closed.
As I closed the door and turned around, my whole body trembled.
“Uh-hoo.”
These are filming a youth growth drama in the hospital room. I was quietly listening to something, but it was very spectacle.
‘Still, it’s a bit special.’
Aren’t we going through life and death together? Besides, those two people risked their lives to help me. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a grain of junk.
‘I wonder if this will be the last time.’
Two days later, sooner or later, I will serve as the rearguard of the main unit, and the two and other scouts will remain with the family as wounded. And maybe… … .
‘I’ll be logging out by then.’
Reaching 500 Fame, the final condition of the logout quest, was not far off. Today’s visit to the Yakwangdang is like a farewell in its own way.
It can be said that it is a reminiscence of the late sergeant who is about to be discharged.
‘Well, I don’t have to tell you, just look at the face.’
The other scouts had already taken a quick look. I’ve seen Han Yeop and Hyuk Moo Jin, so if I stop by one more place… … uh?
“Uh” A rag doll in one hand. Sweets in the other hand.
The little boy with cute braided hair cried out with wide eyes.
“Your interest law man!”
Can’t you just call me brother?
I waved my hand at Soyul with sad eyes.
“Confucius Qin.”
“Benefactor!”
As soon as I entered the hospital room, an immediate reaction came out. He stopped Gongya Cheong, who was still pale, from waking up, and raised his head with a bow.
“Lie down. Get up too, man.
Am I old enough to receive me?”
“Even if I bowed down 100 times, I received the grace that was not enough.”
Water is already forming around the eyes of the two. The ignorant Soyul hugged the rag doll tightly and rushed to her brother.
“Brother, have you received favors? Show me grace, too. Are you pretty?”
uh. that’s not the clothes
Leaving behind the chattering So-yul, I spoke to Gong Ya-cheong.
“How are you feeling?”
“It’s perfectly fine. I will have to recuperate for a while.”
A faint smile spread across Gong Ya-cheong’s lips.
“It’s all thanks to Confucius.”
“It was not something I did to listen to the governor. I even left it there once.”
“It was my choice. And Confucius returned.”
I remembered the night I was being chased by Jo Pil. Gong Yaqing was in a state of severe poisoning and wanted to remain on his own. Just like him, I had to choose.
After many conflicts, the decision I made was to go back to him.
‘I regretted it immensely.’
It was crazy. He gambled his life just for the sake of an NPC in the game. But now I think I know.
why did you make that choice?
What did you see in the young siblings who lost their parents, and who did you think of in Gong Yicheng and the scouts… … .
“Confucius Qin?”
I woke up to the voice of the gongyacheong.
“It’s nothing special. Just, just something to think about.”
“Oh, I heard the news too.
Is it because of that?”
“What news?”
“They say there will be a big battle soon.”
Wasn’t this a military secret?
If Gong Ya-cheong, who only stays in the hospital room, knows, all the people with eyes and ears should know about Taewon.
If there is even one spy, there will be no loudspeaker against North Korea.
‘Is this war okay as it is?’
I stirred and sent away a sudden thought. Whatever it is, it will soon have nothing to do with me anyway.
The system notification that rings even now is proof of that.
belt ring.
–
Rumors continue to spread about you.
–
Reputation increases by 1.
It is said that words without footing go a thousand miles, and after defeating Jo-Pil, it seems that my name has started to spread in earnest.
When I sneakily opened the quest window to check, the remaining fame was around 50.
Logging out is already an established fact.
“It will be a battle for the fate of the family.”
Of course, there is no way they know my situation. After quietly listening to Gong Yacheong and Socheon’s story, I robbed my seat and got up.
“Looks like I should go.”
“Benefactor.”
It was the Gongyacheong that stopped Sochun with a sad face.
“Let it go.”
“but… …
“Uh huh.”
Socheon bowed her head sullenly. Soyul, who was playing with a doll alone, looks up at me with big eyes.
“Are you leaving already?”
“Because you’re my brother.”
“huh. mister.”
The moment I pinched Soyul’s chubby cheeks and turned around, Gong Yacheong called me.
“Gongja Jin. Even if you go, shouldn’t you take the things you left behind?”
“Is that something you left behind?”
I thought about it for a while, but is there a chin to have such a thing? Thanks to the fraudulent feature called Inventory, I always have light hands.
“No such thing… … What is this?”
Gong Yaqing held a long bundle in his hand.
“It is something that Confucius could not bring because he was not in a hurry. Since the owner has come, it would be right to return it.”
what?
I accepted the bundle in a bewildered state. Quite heavy weight. As I was about to check the contents, Gong Yacheong said to me.
“Release it from the shelter. So as not to be seen by others.”
Have you even heard of the golden calf?
As soon as I arrived at the residence, I unwrapped the bundle. And he could understand the meaning of Gong Yaqing’s last words.
‘If other people see it, it’s a coveted item.’
Old books and a small box. And a familiar sword.
To the Murim people, the value of these items is incomparable to a golden calf. I had the ability to grasp that value more accurately than anyone else.
‘Check item’

“It’s crazy.”
really crazy A spiritual group that gives you 30 years of power at the highest level, and even a sword that I don’t know exactly, but it looks great.
It is said that tigers leave their skins when they die, but Jopil left three of these items.
‘Shiba, good things are always given to me after they’re finished.’
Damn f*cking shit. If you’re going to take care of it, could you take care of it earlier? After it’s all over, my blood pressure rises as if I’m beating myself up.
‘Still, the item is really good.’
As I read the description, I was stunned without realizing it. What if you learn the spirit and learn the flame god? Just like Jopil, fire comes out of his hand and then… … .
‘I think it would look damn cool.’
But that thought was short-lived. In my later years, I was told to be careful of falling leaves, but I don’t want to hold a self-burning ceremony after swallowing the wrong one.
‘Let’s keep in mind. safety first. Safety first.’
It’s funny that he’s talking about safety now, but he’s not so stupid that he’ll swallow it wholeheartedly.
‘It’s all coming to an end.’
The moment you stumble, you go hook. I put all the items in my inventory. Late at night, at a drinking party somewhere, a system notification rang as if I was talking about it.
belt ring.
– Reputation has risen by 1.
At that time, the elder was walking in the garden. the agreed date and place. ‘He in the dark’ never broke the time.
– The moon is very bright.
-That’s right.
As he said, today’s full moon was exceptionally bright.
– When I was young, I really liked the moon??, … The thicker my hair gets, the more I think about it.
-What thoughts?
– I wish there was no moon. What do you think?
-It’s an unlucky world. I’m a guy who lives at night, so I’ll be happy when the moon disappears.
it’s night life He boasted in a frivolous and pleasant tone, like a columnist, but the general knew. The fact that he possesses strong martial arts and is an excellent shooter.
It seemed that the smell of blood was wafting through the wind.
-Oh. How are things going?
– It’s smooth. Troop deployment is over – don’t overdo it. If you smell the clever sogaju, things will go wrong.
-Don’t worry. I didn’t even have to step out.
-Heaven helps.
-How about that one?
-You’re asking the obvious.
The captain shut his mouth at the light reprimand.
‘Would it be okay?’
They are like sea fog. Their identities were not visible because of the fog, and even if they stretched out their hands and stirred them, there was no substance.
Only damp palms and unpleasant feelings remain.
‘But he has power.’
The power to make oneself the head of the Jin family in Taiwon and the only loser in Shanxi. It is an ambition that has been cherished for half a lifetime. The captain was ready to do anything.
-All preparations are complete.
– Me too.
The day when the two giant factions that divide Shanseo Province collide… … Everything will end and a new beginning will begin.
