Episode 647 The place where the banquet took place was a large dance hall in the inner palace.
The place, which can accommodate a thousand warriors, was prepared with all sorts of delicacies and was crowded with people, including the chief of the tribe.
And at the highest seat in the gymnasium, a person was waiting for me.
You are here.”
The Beast Myowang, who was sitting on a table decorated with tiger skin, spotted me and beckoned me.
“Sit down. I have reserved a place for you.”
The seat I was assigned was right next to, to the left of, the Beast Cat King.
Considering that I am an outsider, the treatment was unconventional, but considering my status and the achievements I made last night, it is not so strange.
Of course, that didn’t mean that all the members of Hwaryonggak were treated the same as me.
“Your seats have been set for this banquet. Eat, drink and enjoy… …
“Taesan! meat!”
snap! Wow wow!
Suddenly, seeing Taesan sweeping up the meat in front of the table, the Beast Cat King looked at me with an absurd look.
“… … What the hell is this guy?”
“… … he’s just crazy Don’t worry too much about it.”
Taesan’s mother, no, Samapyo, who let out a sigh at my glance, grabbed Taesan and dragged her along.
Kwachang!
‘In a place without water, that level of water damage… … ?, that’s pretty determined and blunt.
However, Taesan shouted brightly as he drank from the drinking fountain that exploded overhead.
“Namho! Thank you! Taesan is just as thirsty!” “Die. Please die…!” The Beast Cat King, who had been watching the scene, stared at me with a trembling gaze.
“hmm. The subordinates are very close.”
“Good. Even if one of them dies, you won’t even know.”
“Is that why you didn’t let them go?”
After a moment of hesitation, I answered.
“Did you hear? The news is fast.”
“I don’t get involved in everything, but I can hear everything. Such is the position of the queen of the Southern Beast Palace.”
Well, since outsiders were involved in the scouting party, it wouldn’t be strange if the report had already gone up through the tribal chiefs.
I muttered to myself, thinking of the three people who should be heading somewhere to the northeast by now.
‘Is it okay?’ After careful consideration, I selected a total of three people.
coinage. Songil Island. And Hyuk Moo-jin.
Aside from my worries, Joo Hwa-ran is the owner of superior performance and experience compared to the later exponents of her age, needless to say Song Il-seom, and the last member Hyuk Moo-jin ‘I don’t know anything else, but one viability is a c*ckroach.’ No matter how you look at it, Hyuk Moo-jin is a guy who overcame the crisis of death in many battlefields with me from Shanseoseong to now.
Jeokcheongang once said this about how well he cooks and survives.
‘How did such a weak and cowardly fellow survive until now?’ So I answered like this.
‘He survived because he was weak and timid.’
It is true that Hyuk Moo-jin’s martial arts are inferior compared to others. It is not wrong to say that he is cowardly.
However, it could also be interpreted as being cautious.
‘I avoid the most dangerous place like a ghost, and when I can’t avoid it, I fight with all my might.’ So I have to come back alive every time. It wouldn’t be strange if she changed her nickname to Hyukky Bug.
“They will do just fine. no matter what happens.”
I murmured with my personal wishes and suddenly looked over the shoulder of the Beast Cat King.
“Anyway, the seats are empty. Even though the banquet has already started.” “I will come soon, not too late.” Despite his words, the Beast Cat King’s eyes were heavy, especially when he looked at the empty seat to his right.
‘Baeksang.’
The tribal chiefs who followed him to Daejeon were already seated, but Baeksang and Yohee and Heukwoong have not yet returned.
The Beast Tomb King carefully looked at their empty seats and tilted his wine bottle without saying a word.
Again.
The sun has already gone down toward Seosan for a long time.
However, the view of Nanmanyashu Palace was shining brightly even in the dark. It’s because of the festivities that take place all over the place.
The tribal meeting, held only once a year, was also a venue for harmony, and countless tribal people poured out into the streets laughing and chatting with cheerful faces.
No, it probably is. I couldn’t see it right away, but I could guess it enough from the cheers and the sound of firecrackers coming from the outer palace.
Shih, pervert!
Wow-!
Just hearing the sound is at least a samba festival.
I asked the Beast Tomb King with a puzzled expression.
“Uh, what. Is it okay to do this?” “What do you mean?” “It seems like everyone has amnesia. Everyone should know what happened at Mount Aenye just a day ago.” The Beast Tomb King replied with an insignificant expression.
“know. That’s why we have a more grand festival.”
“That one?”
“okay. All of them were brave warriors, and they died fighting for the sake of others. So, I believe that each tribe will return to the arms of the god that each tribe believes in. Even though he died in this world, he thought he would have been reborn as a warrior of God.”
This is a story I’ve heard a lot.
Suddenly, I am reminded of the Middle East terrorist group I beat before logging in.
‘Not some crusaders or ancient Vikings.’ All sorts of superstitions were prevalent in Jungwon as well, but there was a distinct difference, perhaps because Southern Manchuria was home to numerous indigenous beliefs.
Of course, as me who was born and raised in the 21st century, I didn’t understand it.
“Do you think Yayul Daehyeop is like that too?”
Beast Myowang, who was about to tilt his glass at my question, smiled.
Interesting.” “What is it?” “Isn’t that right? An old Miao who was born and raised in Southern Manchuria, and dared to ask such a question to the Southern Manchurian lord.” “Ah.” “But the laughter came out for a different reason: I remembered that a long time ago, someone else asked the same question as you.” If this is enough, I can roughly feel it.
“Our Noya, no, Master?”
“Enemy No? no. He was not interested in whether the native gods existed or not. However, there was a time when he asked to be called if the demonic cults set fire to the barbarians. He said he would be happy to help at least once.”
That man with a heavy butt promised to buy six on a business trip. It seems that Jiuhuashan’s resentment was very deep in his bones.
Nodding reflexively, I asked back.
“Then who asked that question?”
And the answer from the Beast Cat King that came the next moment was simple and clear, yet full of questions.
God.”
“yes? what?”
At that time, when I was momentarily dazed by an incomprehensible answer, the Beast Cat King continued talking while stroking a full glass of wine.
“Wu God. A person whose name, age, or even face is not properly known. A deity who was born as a human and was reborn as a higher being. he asked me Do you believe your god really exists?”
K ! ” “So I answered. Actually I’m not sure. But it seems to be facing you now.” The crescent moon in the wine glass sways. The beast tomb king laughed out loud as he poured the alcohol and moon into his mouth.
“It was a stupid answer, but it had to be. Because on that day, God of War defeated five mad heads and five hundred blood demons by himself, who had reached the peak of transcendence. That was the first meeting with him, who had a white beard fluttering like a freshman, and in the second meeting with him, which was to be the last, he had the appearance of a young boy.”
“It’s been over fifty years, but I still remember that day clearly.”
I was speechless as I listened to the story with my mouth open.
Blood Guard. It’s a familiar name. It was also a name that appeared once whenever Jeok Cheon-gang unrolled a latte.
It was said that the Blood Guards, the representative strike force of the Demonic Cult that swept through the midfield at the head of 100,000 horsemen, were composed of top masters.
‘About five hundred top masters. In addition to that, there were five Madou who had reached the peak, but to destroy that tremendous force single-handedly.
No matter how much the beast cat king said, it would have been dismissed as simple nonsense. If it hadn’t been for the two words “Musin” in front of it.
‘… … How much?’ Jeokcheon River. Mungyeong. Masonry. Etc.
I heard stories about shamanism from those who can be called giants in this long-standing Murimsa Temple.
But I still don’t know. He is also a master who has reached a certain level of ignorance. No, is it really a person?
and… … Why did such a great and great existence suddenly disappear one day, and where is it and what is it doing at this moment?
Thoughts that continue biting tail after tail. At the same time, the name of one person that suddenly comes to mind.
One… … for a moment.’ In an instant, the fingers that had been knocking on the table with thoughts stopped.
Reflexively wide-opened eyes were directed to neither the banquet hall nor the Moorim.
The warm wind and air blowing from far away. And it is another world that exists beyond some unknown realm that cannot be explained in words and a person who exists there.
‘Cheon Tae-min.’
The savior who saved mankind from the demon king Asmodeus. A man who is an immortal myth and is called a living god by his followers.
But one day, being cut off from the world and falling into a deep sleep.
The reason Cheon Tae-min came to my mind at this moment was obvious.
Resembles. Martial arts department.’ It could be a simple misunderstanding, but the two had too much in common to pass it off as if it were nothing.
His performance in the Great War of Magic and Cataclysm, and even his actions right after that.
‘no way? no. no. That would be impossible.’ But my thoughts couldn’t go any further. It was because of the cheerful performance of the musicians, the dance moves of the dancers, and a person climbing the stairs while receiving people’s attention.
“Welcome, aw.”
To the hospitality of his sworn brother, the Beast Myowang, the Baeksang, with the chieftains on either side, responded like a palace owner.
“It’s late. the palace.”
Waking up from my thoughts, I was finally able to face it.
His callous gaze seemed to freeze everywhere.
– The banquet has begun.
– The outer palace guard has been strengthened more than usual.
– About 200 elite warriors belonging to the Inner Palace are on their way through the North Gate.
At the sound of the subordinates digging into his ears in succession, someone buried in darkness rose from his seat.
– Last report. What is your goal?
– I am a blood monk of Guizhou. The targets are moving for the purpose of scouting and fighting, and under the direction of Jin Tae-gyeong, they include Sogukju Joo Hwa-ran of Yongbong Pyogu, Song Il-ki, a mourning guest, and Hyuk Moo-jin of Taewonjinga.
It was surprising to know about Songil Island’s past, which only a few knew about, but not to Shadow and his men.
“under.”
Laughing out loud, the new brother of the shadow turned round and round.
Right. At the same time as the fingers clashing in the darkness made a sound, a ray of fire lit up the darkness.
A dark, ominous red-brown flame. Seeing this shiver, the demon of the south heaven smiled.
