Episode 68
In the end, Jin Wi-kyung was the winner. With moist eyes, ‘Full moon. Can’t we just live together for ten days?’ I begged, and Jin Moo-gyeong and I lifted both hands and feet.
So, in the end, we came to this situation.
Jin Wi-gyeong left, and only the two of them remained in the underground gymnasium.
It was Jin Moo-gyeong who broke the silence first.
“I will give you the rules.”
“rule? What are the rules for living among men?”
“First. From now on, be polite and use honorifics when dealing with me.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
Jin Moo-gyeong hit the training steel doll standing next to him.
pop! Kwajik!
The steel doll flew off and crashed into the smoke barrier. The handprint was clearly stamped on the sunken chest.
“What is the first rule?”
I glared at Jinmu-gyeong. I’ve been through all the prenatal battles. If you were only thinking of breaking my spirit this much, you were seriously mistaken.
“He told me to use honorifics.”
… … However, mature members of society avoid unnecessary fights.
This is an adult fight. Whoops.
‘But why are you trying to shed tears?’
Oh, I want to see mom.
“good. Then second. Live like the rat is dead. If you make a loud noise that wakes me up or disturbs my practice… … pop! Kwajik!
I nodded frantically as the second steel doll flew away.
“The last third. You are free to use the gymnasium, but if I’m out of the way, get out of the way without saying anything. Got it?”
“yes yes.”
“I finally came to my senses.”
Jin Moo-gyeong nodded in satisfaction and pointed to the exit.
“Get out now. Your room is on the third floor.”
A cheer echoed behind me as I quickly left the underground gymnasium. I get goosebumps at the sight of being treated almost as baggage. I looked back for a while and made a promise.
‘wait. I’ll catch up soon.’ Shih! Awesome!
The sword slashed the third steel doll. Looking at the weakly falling doll’s neck, I slightly modified my thoughts.
‘wait. catch up someday.’
The room was desolate. Unlike the previous rooms, which were luxuriously decorated, there were only a few essential pieces of furniture.
“Anyway, this is serious.”
Should I say it’s Jinmugyeong?
It had only been a day since they met, but it was enough to understand Jin Moo-kyung’s tendencies. He hates cumbersome things, and is the type that values efficiency. He is also a hard worker who does not neglect training.
There is also a radical aspect of beating up a younger brother like a dog for not using honorifics, but if you think about it, it is self-defense.
Yeokjisaji (易地思之). Isn’t that the basis of human relationships?
‘Even if it’s like me, if this kind of guy is my younger brother, I’d still be able to beat him up.’
The older brothers work hard to raise up the family, but the youngest brother puts martial arts as an afterthought and is crazy about alcohol and women.
It’s true that Jinwigyeong is a bodhisattva.
‘The martial arts are also strong.’
Just in case. Seeing his reformed younger brother, he might personally teach him martial arts. ‘This… is an opportunity.’
Eyes flash open.
Unlike Jin Yu-gyeong and Wi-Pang, who are so busy that they sometimes only look at their faces, Jin Mu-gyeong is confined to the gymnasium.
Wouldn’t it be possible to greatly advance my martial arts skills if I received one-on-one tutoring from a master master during the ten halls I live with?
‘More than now. much more.’
From the depths of my heart, greed suddenly rears its head. No, this is hunger.
Hunger for everything you never had.
wealth and honor? coveted But that’s only part of what I’m hoping to achieve.
‘I want to become stronger.’
I thought I was strong enough, but I wasn’t.
It’s still not enough to protect my people. While dealing with Jopil the other day, I felt it while watching the elder this time.
overwhelming power difference.
At the current level, it’s not enough to protect my life, not my person. I was just a frog that had just come out of the well.
‘I don’t know how long it will take, but I’ll catch up soon.’
Third class to first class. It took only two months to go from F-level to C-level. The current determination is by no means a lie.
The war must be over, now there is plenty of time. I was thinking of raising my skills as much as possible until I logged out.
‘Should I re-measure as soon as I return?’
Even if I just support it, I think I’ll be able to get up to B rank without any problem.
It was the moment when I laughed heartily at the happy imagination biting my tail.
”uh?”
what?
The feeling of forgetting something very important.
The feeling of missing something that shouldn’t be missed. It was a sense of incongruity that I felt even before I met Jin Moo-kyung yesterday.
And it didn’t take long to realize the identity of the sense of incongruity.
“Quest, open the quest window.”
belt ring.
– There are currently no quests in progress.
No quests in progress?
The moment I saw the system message, my eyes were dizzy. Because you know what that means.
‘… … What about the logout quest?’
The only way to come and go between Moorim and reality. The logout quest doesn’t appear anywhere.
It was the time when I was staring blankly at the system message in an unexpected situation.
belt ring.
A new window opened in the air with the clear sound of a bell.
– The achievement [Return] has been achieved!
– You have obtained the title [Returner]!
– New feature activated!
“A returnee? What’s new?”
what is this. I hurriedly opened the status window, and sure enough, the three letters “returner” were shining brightly.
“Confirm title.”
belt ring.
[returner]
Description: Leaving is easy, returning is difficult. I commend you for your sacrifice and courage.
Effect: All stats sh。,
Enable [Logout], [Login] function.
That moment.
Perbuff.
Firecrackers exploded in my head.
* * *
Jin Moo-kyung was breathing. It was breathing using the nose, mouth, and wide open body.
The energy of Dantian and the energy of Heaven and Earth are mixed.
Shaaa.
Another name for Danjeon is Kihae. The sea of energy, a place where energy gathers and flows. Jin Moo-gyeong felt the waves of energy flowing through the veins of her body. And he was delighted
‘This is it.’
He first picked up a sword when he was five years old. It was a wooden sword that Jin Wi-gyeong cut with clumsiness. I liked the touch of it, and I also liked the sound of the wind that dispersed every time I swung it. Since that day, I have never taken a single day off from training.
‘Genius, genius.’
‘Because he’s just born.
Unless that… …
Some admired, others envied. Although the intentions were different, the words were the same. ruthless genius. Even when the natural geniuses were talking in unison, Jin Moo-gyeong continued training by locking herself in the gymnasium. For him, training was not pain, but a process of strengthening and joy.
Whoa.
It is not only takgi that escapes with exhalation. Jin Moo-gyeong spat out the thoughts in his head along with the tak-gi.
From now on, I had to focus only on luck.
‘Can I do it today?’
It’s time to go meet the enemy you’ve been fighting every single day for the past three years. An enemy named Lim Dok Yang-maek.
Until now, I had to step back many times, but… … Jin Moo-kyung did not give up yet. If you win just once, you can break through the poison vein and step into a new territory.
‘Let’s try it.’
It was the moment when Jin Moo-kyung, full of determination, pulled up his air power with all his might.
– Whoa, whoa, whoa!
what? Is it the heart?
A terrifying scream just to hear. It was like a devil laughing with joy. Just when Jinmoo-gyeong hurriedly tried to calm her gong power, the devil shouted once again.
– Take off your voice and scream in your underwear! Whoo oh oh!
not a devil There is only one person who can talk such nonsense in a palace where all entry is prohibited.
“Jin Tae-gyeong will hit and kill… … Whoops!”
His energy was shattered by the welling anger.
“what? Is it Taewon Jin?”
I was just about to lie down. Late at night, Song Geom-mun-ju felt his sleep suddenly run away from the sudden report of the commander-in-chief.
“Are you sure?”
“I don’t know. I’m not even a Moorim.”
At the words of the general, who was born in Nakhyang, Geommunju Song grabbed his back.
It was wrong to ask a guy who only had ink and shit on his head.
“Then how did you know Taewon was Jinga?”
“The men guarding the door came running in a hurry and said, There are people from Taewonjinga outside right now. and who is it The author of Wei, Wei or something asked if he could meet Munju.”
What are you up to?
Song Geommunju swallowed his saliva.
“Couldn’t his name be Wipin?”
“Oh, that’s right. Wipin.”
Song Geommunju almost broke the commander’s head with a wooden needle.
‘Didn’t the ghost sword, Weifang, come directly?’
The right-hand man of Jin Yu-gyeong in Sujia and the core master of the Jin family in Taiwon.
It seemed that the spirit escaped at the visit of the peak master who had made a revolutionary contribution in this war as well.
“Wake up all those sleeping!”
It’s an emergency. Even as Songgeommunju hurriedly ran out, he had 50,000 thoughts.
‘Is it retaliation?’
Songgeommun is a small and medium-sized clan located in the central part of Shanseo Province. There are less than 50 of them, and most of them are in the second or third ranks. They have received help in one way or another because they are close to Taewonjinga, but when the war broke out, they quietly withdrew.
Perhaps today’s visit was a natural step.
‘Yet it is. The demon is coming directly. Even at this hour.’
It is unlikely that Taewon Jinga, who is known for being fair, will do that, but if the goal is to destroy the world, there is no power to stop it.
It is doubtful whether even he, who is the best of the Song swordsmen, will be Wi-Pang’s third enemy.
“Lord Moon!”
The faces of the gatekeepers, who had been moaning like poopy puppies at the appearance of their superior, brightened.
But Song Geommunju couldn’t be as happy as they were.
He looked at the uninvited guests politely with a stiff face.
“I am Hwang Mo, who is leading Songgeommun.”
At the same time, 30 uninvited guests wearing bamboo ribs split left and right. Under the hazy moonlight, a person appeared.
“Nice to meet you. Wipin.”
As I heard, he was young, and he was more rude than I thought. No matter how pathetic the Song Geommun is, what kind of attitude is that towards the owner of the Ilmun family?
However, I did not dare to express my dissatisfaction. That rude young guy is a ghost sword and has the name Taewon Jinga behind him.
If this is the price to pay for ignoring the crisis of the allies, it was eaten cheaply.
Song Geommunju licked his parched lips.
“I’ve heard the ghost’s reputation.
If you had given me a message in advance, I would have gone out to meet you… …
“Don’t worry about it, Munju. I was only going to deliver the letter from Lord Soga anyway.”
“Correspondence, you mean?”
Wipin nodded and handed over the sealed letter. The seal of Taewon’s Jinga is clearly visible under the torch held by the gatekeeper.
“This… …
“It’s an invitation. I ask you to visit my hometown on your return.”
Song Geommunju, who has lived in Moorim for not a short time, immediately understood the meaning behind it.
‘What is an invitation?’
This is a call and a warning at the same time. A warning that if you do not respond to this invitation, you will be pushed out of the flow of Shanxi Murim in the future.
Wonwon will be the day when a monarch who has won a war accepts a new vassal.
‘Taewon Jinga pulled out his sword.’
After a moment of silence, Song Geommunju spoke up.
“I’ve been wanting to see Sogaju for a long time… … This will be a good opportunity.”
“It is an honor to have you visit, Lord Moon.”
Hupin politely took the gun.
Song Geommunju bit his lip at the change in attitude that was different from before.
“The road must have been difficult.
Why don’t you go in and relieve your travel poison?”
“Thank you for the favor, but I think I will have to leave. I have someone to catch.”
“He’s the guy the Wei Daehyeop is chasing. It looks very bad.”
“It’s a vicious life. Because you dared to harm the Three Gongs.”
“Sah, you mean the Three Gongja? What kind of guy dares to take the Shanxi Sleeping Dragon?”
“well. I’m guessing it was a spray sent by someone who is hostile to the family.”
“Huh.”
“But… … Wipin’s eyes flashed for a moment. A keen gaze scanned the inside of the Songgeommun Gate.
“After chasing it, we came to Songgeommun Gate.”
“Yeah, that can’t be. Isn’t there some kind of misunderstanding?”
It was at that time when Song Geommunju, whose heart sank, was about to start making excuses in a hurry. Wi Fang laughed and waved his hand.
“Haha, of course it must be an illusion. It is a fact that everyone in the world knows that Taewonjin’s family and Songgeommun’s friendship are strong, but how could that be?”
“… …
“Thank you for your hospitality. See you again in the fabric. This is it!”
Even after Wipin and his men disappeared into the darkness, Song Geommunju stood there for a long time.
