episode_0109

I came out of the hospital with two more seriously ill patients.

That’s when disaster struck.

Gumilmil asked me if I was a fairy, saying she understood why I was called a celestial maiden.

That was a very harsh thing to say, so I definitely denied it.

Just a simple monster.

But I think I spoke too harshly, and we parted ways without saying much after that.

Soo looks at me with eyes of respect, and I feel good about this gaze.

But since we know that this is fake, we must keep in mind that when we find out the truth someday, it may all turn into hate.

Will you be sad when that happens?

I don’t know.

Anyway, since light is the soul, after I take the warmth, I’m going to meet some pretty terrible words.

Either crumbling beneath the cold sea, or turning to dust inside a glass bottle.

There will come a day when everything will be fully revealed.

This is also warm.

But this is a bit vague. Even Daegon doesn’t know anything about the resource called warmth. If he had used the soul, he would have used it, because there was no separate item about the warmth that the soul contained.

Oh, it just occurred to me because it was warm.

Now, we need to prepare for winter.

The long, harsh winter is here now, and it will continue to come.

Cheonma recently received a report from Woljedang that the produce they had been bringing in until now is gone and that they will not be receiving any in the future.

Because the place where it should have been given has disappeared in the light.

Severance of ties and blood stasis.

This wasn’t just a human sacrifice.

When a person is sacrificed or becomes a human being, the other side brings something in return.

A lot of seafood and various jewels. That’s what I got.

It’s a Cheonmasingyo sect where there aren’t many people who do productive activities and there isn’t much plundering.

One can only guess how they were able to lead quite wealthy lives without such income.

But now that it’s suddenly cut off, we’re going to continue to be poor.

Timing-wise, the Murim Alliance invaded at a very bad time.

So shouldn’t we prepare for winter?

It looks like we’ll be able to fly at least until this winter, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

***

The longest night has passed, and the season of slowly warming days has arrived.

The Cheonmasingyo was stronger than I expected.

Originally, we received a huge amount of goods from the people, so I thought that if that was cut off, we would immediately go bankrupt… … .

No, it wasn’t.

Since Woljeongdang was not able to generate any income at all, Cheonmasingyo’s profits decreased significantly, but Cheonmasingyo was not so weak that it would collapse right away without them.

But that’s when things are peaceful.

If war breaks out, it will be difficult, for sure.

There’s a rumor going around town about a war between the two of them.

There are constant clashes between the Cheonmasingyo and the martial arts world, and the large sects send their groups because of those clashes.

They say it’s for the sake of public safety, but everyone knows that originally, such a sect only protects its own territory.

Even among the sects of the political faction, those belonging to extremely small sects or factions began to leave this middle area altogether, and in their place, sects belonging to the Murim Alliance moved in with only a different name.

Collect weapons and increase your number of people.

Anyone who looks at it can see that something is about to happen.

As the fighting became more frequent, the number of times that people of the Heavenly Horse and Dangju level gathered together to hold meetings also increased.

It is said that more than half of the ten clansmen will fight against the Murim Alliance.

They say that they have already confirmed more than 15 sects, that the so-called Five Great Sects are also watching this place, and that even people from the government forces have started to appear.

In faded memories, the words “inviolability of official duties” twinkle brightly, but isn’t it strange that the state doesn’t pay attention when a group of gangsters actually engages in a large-scale fight?

I’m thinking it would be nice to ride that way and go to the coffin.

I like that better.

You don’t have to get any special treatment.

Even if you are treated like a criminal or an object, it’s still good if you can gain warmth in the end.

You can just think of it as proceeding that way this time.

You have to be careful.

There is a transcendent being called Shinsun, who is building a country there.

There is a possibility that this one also has special skills.

Will it end up as a simple clash between two, or will it become three?

Or else chaos will erupt without rules.

We cannot know the future.

So I prepared steadily.

Although I couldn’t do it every day, I consistently turned people into harvesters, and as a result, there were 26 people in total.

I made everyone into harvesters, from those who were simply living as ordinary people to those who were in charge of military affairs in the Cheonmasin Church.

If we kill each other and kill each other, I can get warmth from anywhere.

I spend my time pretending I don’t know anything while waiting for the big fight.

***

It’s the season when water no longer freezes even in the deep night.

In the meantime, Soo-oh has become strong enough to be praised by even the Heavenly Horse.

And then I found someone else who wasn’t me or Cheonma.

Gumilmil and Oh Myeongseong. Surprisingly, they even know Insimwon.

I’m a little worried about not having any peers, but I’m glad that he’s developing social skills.

Of course, ideologically, I am very unstable.

I used to tell stories in the mornings, but last winter, Soo said it was boring and not fun, so I stopped.

But, because the world is what it is, living an overly moral life only seems to make people unhappy.

Because each era has its own standards.

People look down on people who have standards that are out of touch with the times, calling them crazy.

Overall, I had to live an unhappy life.

Only great people do that.

It is an ascetic practice that ordinary people could never do.

So, I was wondering how much I should tell Soo.

The fight has begun in earnest.

yes.

The Great Battle of Jeongma broke out.

The Murim people are a group of superhumans.

As soon as the full-scale battle begins, the situation changes incredibly quickly.

In an instant, the Cheonmasingyo outpost is destroyed and people rush down.

Among them, if there is a superhuman who is particularly strong compared to those around them, they will be pushed out in an instant.

Conversely, if there is a stronger superhuman on this side, it will actually push them away.

It’s a little different from a simple war.

It’s a space where forces that cannot be simply expressed in numbers run rampant, so wires are meaningless and people die in an instant.

And among them, there are those who shine particularly brightly.

It’s none other than my harvest season.

They all drag me in and use me.

When it became clear that war was coming, Cheonma gathered the harvesters and taught me how to use them with my attributes.

There are only a very few people who can display swordsmanship by holding a sword like Cheonma, and most can only stab with a spear.

However, the difference from a simple stab is that a purple ray comes out of the stab.

Use it like a gun.

Of course, it is closer to line infantry that was used like a spear with a slightly longer range rather than the type that sweeps away enemies from a distance.

Line up, move forward, and stab and fire at the same time.

An average martial artist would die if they tried to approach him and his body would be pierced.

If there’s a martial artist who can bounce that off and come in, then there’s someone who can put me on a sword and swing it.

Since they are mostly grouped together in one battlefield, it is not clear what is happening overall.

But on the first day the war started.

I got a lot of warmth.

lol.

***

The second day after the start of the war.

Finally, Soo-oh noticed the strangeness.

“First snow. There’s something strange about the forest.”

Soo pointed to the forest to the north.

Soo didn’t know.

There hasn’t been any major commotion within the Cheonmasin Church yet.

Yesterday, Cheonma didn’t come, but that kind of thing happens occasionally, so Soo spent the day not knowing anything.

“What’s so weird?”

I don’t feel anything.

So I asked Soo if he really felt it or if it was more of a feeling.

Soo-oh narrows his eyes and looks around the forest.

Then he looked at me and pointed to the middle of the forest.

“The forest is so quiet. It’s like it’s asleep. There’s no sound.”

Oh, you?

By the way, the bird sounds that used to sound like background music are gone.

I don’t know if the beast really knew what was going on and was silent, or if someone actually came into the forest.

The only harvesters around here are Cheonma and Omyeongseong.

And both of them are discussing with the lords what to do.

But it’s a bit disappointing that we’re not discussing how to fight, but whether to negotiate or not.

When it comes to the Cheonmasingyo religion, I thought of people who would die for the gods without asking any questions.

After Cheonma became a woman, no, to be exact, after her heart became a woman, she became much more gentle.

Rather, Omyeongseong is saying that we should be more aggressive.

They were persistent in their attacks, targeting this purple hair, and they said they would never negotiate.

However, there are people who deny that.

It’s none other than the head of the Ji-Gwan family.

He is not only the head of the clan, but also an elder in the Cheonmasingyo. He pointed to Oh Myeongseong and asked to give it to him.

He says that because of this person, the Cheonmasingyo is suddenly under attack, so let’s first give up the reputation and recover, and then wait for a later date.

The old man’s face was filled with annoyance as he spoke.

You can guess from the facial expression.

That later day is after one’s death.

The sentiment typical of old people who have nothing left to lose, thinking that they can just get over it now.

But the person who said that is one of the highest people in the Cheonmasingyo sect.

So, no one can easily come forward and refute what he says.

And the reasons for that silence are not just the inability to object to what the head of the branch office has said, but also aversion to the stigma.

He suddenly appeared and took the position of Gwangmyeongusa, which was like the next Cheonmajari.

It’s a position that can easily make you jealous.

So, surprisingly, the balance of the mirror tilted towards handing over the stigma and negotiating.

The clan leaders, who don’t even know why the Murim Alliance is attacking, think they can use this opportunity to get rid of what they don’t like.

No, perhaps this Jeongsa Daejeon is someone else’s business to the party leaders.

Because, except for the monthly lord, it is not harvest season.

The war continues, with the command in disarray.

I turned my gaze to Soo, who was still checking the forest, and said this.

“So-o. There’s going to be a big problem.”

I thought that if Cheonma and Oh Myeongseong joined forces and swept it away, it would be an easy war to end, but if it goes like this, we won’t even know who will win or lose.

therefore.

I think I should tell you the truth now.
