“Are you from the Church of the Heavenly Demon? ?”
Wang Jinpeng, who had been staring blankly at the campfire going on inside the Sugyochae for a while, said something completely unexpected.
“What?”
“If so… I also want to join the Church of the Heavenly Demon! You can kill all of your subordinates! I will also dedicate the magic book I accidentally found to the Heavenly Demon Church! If you spare my life, from now on I will dedicate myself as one of the believers of the Heavenly Demon Church!”
Sigh!
Wang Jin-bung shouts like that while wielding his fist. Beside him was a sword stuck in the dirt.
Earlier, he had misunderstood that I had mastered Yeolyang Ji-gong, a type of magic gong, and when a reality that was difficult for him to accept with his common sense came upon him, he seemed to have given up on understanding it.
It seemed that he had completely given up on resistance when his attack had no effect and only the bridge was turned into a sea of fire.
The reaction of Wang Jin-bung, who bowed down as if he had once ignored him because he was young, gave us a glimpse into how he was able to survive while working in numbers.
‘Should I just kill him like this?’
All you have to do is bend down and smack the top of your head, which is visible at a glance.
I stopped my arm that was about to go up to finish.
‘No. for a moment… ‘
If Wang Jinpeng obediently cooperates, it will be much easier to plunder Su Jiochai’s wealth.
These thieves always have treasures hidden in places that only they know about.
If you have Wang Jin-bong at the forefront, you can prevent treasures from being overlooked without being discovered in case you search for them yourself.
Making things easier is always welcome.
The reason he hung out for a while while receiving Wang Jin-bung’s one-sided attack was the same.
There had to be a certain degree of close cooperation, or when it seemed as if their leader was dominating, so that the number of henchmen would gather together rather than disperse and run away.
Thanks to this, I was able to easily organize most of the numbers along with the numbers.
I glanced at Wang Jinpeng, who cleared his throat and lowered his head.
“Kuhm… Are you ready to give everything to this school?”
“Yes!”
“Even if that’s all you’ve ever collected?”
“Well, that’s… ”
“Can’t you do it? Did he just say that he would commit himself to the Church of the Heavenly Demon with that kind of mindset?”
Hwareukㅡ
Just as Wang Jin-bong had imagined, I pretended to be a member of the Heavenly Demon God Cult and slightly spewed flames downward so that he could see as he lowered his head.
Then Wang Jin-bong, who was shaking, bowed his waist and shouted.
“Oh, no… ! Of course I can give you everything!”
He placed the superweapon on Wang Jinpeng’s head, which was leaning forward, and said.
Tukㅡ
“I need to see sincerity. Please guide me to where I store my valuables.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Wang Jin-bong raised his head, looked at me, and started walking ahead.
While on the move, whenever he heard unidentified explosions and the screams of enemies, Wang Jinpeng would flinch and pretend to be surprised in a somewhat exaggerated manner.
I narrowed my eyes and watched the scene.
Rustling.
“This is the place.”
Wang Jin-bong rolled up the tent that was not on fire and went inside.
It seemed to be a tent used by a chaeju owner, and the floor and bed were covered with a thick layer of animal skin, giving it a soft feel.
As Wang Jin-bong approached the bed and moved the animal skin bed aside, a wooden door on the dirt floor came into view.
After showing him the door and seeing him standing quietly next to me, I tapped his arm again with the baton and urged him on.
“What are you doing, not opening it?”
“Ah, yes… ”
Creak…
“Oh.”
With a slightly rusty sound of hinges, a short ladder connected to the underground space appeared.
“Go down.”
“… … .”
I sent Wang Jinpeng down first and jumped off the ladder without holding on.
Tuk.
When I stepped on the floor and looked around, the secret space was smaller than expected.
Thanks to the Yamyeongju that was tied to the ceiling, there was no difficulty in distinguishing objects without having to concentrate on internal energy.
Most of the items stored under the bed of the landlord, Wang Jin-bung, were jewelry made of rare gems or precious metals such as gold and silver.
Well done.
I picked up a delicately crafted silver hairpin from a box piled with accessories and asked.
“What about other warehouses? It can’t be everything here.”
“The other warehouse is deep in the forest… Items are being stored in a location opposite to the entrance of Sugyochae.”
The location of the remaining warehouse that Wang Jinbong mentioned was one that I did not burn. Over time, the fire may spread, but before that, all you have to do is move there and put all the items in your inventory.
‘I guess Baek Geon is over there.’
As I was moving, I didn’t see Baek Geon in the area where I had left my footprints, so I assumed that was the case.
It seems that they found the location of the warehouse early on and waited there.
‘huh?’
As I was looking inside the secret warehouse, a book caught my eye.
It seemed like an item that didn’t fit in a warehouse full of precious metals, so my hand automatically went to it.
Sigh.
On the cover of the old book was the title, “Crying the Heart of Demon Blood.”
“Is this the magic book you were talking about?”
“Yes. First, I made my subordinates learn it and verified it, and I also learned it, so it is clear that it is a proper magic skill.”
“Didn’t you say that what you used was the detention and prosecution method?”
Wang Jin-bong smiled awkwardly at my words.
“That… In order to increase the power of the sword technique, I learned it separately by removing only the part that accumulates magical energy. The training method doesn’t really suit me… ”
“Tsk, really?”
Wang Jin-bong coveted the ferocity of the demonic energy, so he learned only part of the magic.
There may be a temporary increase in power. However, Wang Jin-bung was reckless even though he did not know what negative impact it would have on his advancement to the next level.
‘I don’t really have any loyalty to worry about.’
Anyway, this magic attack seemed to be a martial art that combined the Naegongsim method and the training method.
‘Should I just burn it?’
I looked at the magic book in my hand reluctantly and thought about it. A magic book that somehow seems to have an ominous energy.
I had no desire to eat human flesh, nor did I want to learn magic techniques that had severe side effects.
‘hmm… ‘
But then he shook his head.
If you keep it, won’t you be able to use it someday, whether on another trip or somewhere else?
It’s not that there is no storage space, and there is still quite a bit of free space left in the inventory.
Later, when it becomes useless, you can just use it as kindling.
Just as I was about to put the magic book into my inventory.
I turned around when I saw something suddenly approaching from behind.
Phew~
“Get lost… !”
just as expected. Wang Jin-bung, whose claws were sharp with black demonic energy, was rushing towards me.
I thought he was giving up his weapons too obediently, but there was still a part of him that believed in him.
‘I didn’t only learn part of the magic book.’
I thought as I looked at Wang Jin-bong’s hand reaching out as if it were going to gouge out my eyes.
I don’t know if surrendering in the first place was a postponement, or if it was a shame to lose everything I had saved.
None of my souvenirs had the ability to read minds or detect lies.
But even so, I obediently believed Wang Jin-bong’s words.
because…
‘Because I can handle it even if it’s a lie.’
This is because I was confident that I could break through any trap that these idiots set.
And from the beginning, there was no intention of saving Wang Jinbong.
As someone who prides themselves on having read quite a few martial arts novels, I knew the horror of envy.
If I let Wang Jin-bong live now, I don’t know what kind of obstacle will appear again in the future and block my path.
Seueueuu
A hand stained with black demonic energy came at me at a faster speed than the detention sword technique just before, but I also avoided it with more leisurely movements than before.
Then, he pulled out the super weapon he had temporarily attached to his belt and spewed out flames.
Heavenly Wind Sword Technique
A single light
Kwaaa
“Ugh… … .”
Wang Jinpeng’s screams were faintly dispersed by the waves of flame that filled the secret space.
Kwaaa…
“… … .”
I slowly extinguished the flames, being careful not to burn or melt the precious items.
Perhaps because of this, they were unable to burn Wang Jinpeng until it was completely ashes, and an unpleasant smell filled the secret warehouse.
I frowned slightly and quickly put the items in my inventory and walked out.
‘The guide is dead. Then, let’s start by looking at the other warehouse we heard about earlier.’
There may be more secret spaces, but they don’t seem to be as meticulously hidden as the one in the owner’s tent. And at that level, you could easily find it by just turning the item over a little.
It seemed like the fire was slowly spreading far away, so I retrieved the Chosoo Dongbaekjang that was rolling around in the banquet hall and then moved deep into the Sugyochae.
After confirming that the hot air had weakened slightly, I took off the hero suit and stored it in my inventory.
This is because the fact that he was wearing a suit was noticeable in a situation where the surrounding area was almost as bright as day due to the fire in the bridge.
Then, I finally found Baek Geon lingering in front of a tent.
“Baekgeon!”
“Uh… ? Minho… !”
Baek Geon, who seemed a bit restless, spotted me and came running with a bright face.
“Are you okay?! Suddenly, a big fire broke out in the bridge, so I thought something had happened… ?”
Baek Geon, who was pouring out a lot of worried words, trailed off and tilted his head.
“No, you made such a fuss, but didn’t you get a single speck of dust or even soot on your clothes?”
“Ah, well… They’re not that great guys.”
Since he was wearing a suit on the outside, Baek Geon was constantly impressed by how neat and tidy he looked as before.
I was curious about how he would react if he found out that I had pretended to be a demon from the Celestial Demon Church in front of Wang Jin-bung, but I didn’t bother to ask.
“By the way, is this a warehouse?”
“Yes! The rest of the place was filled with miscellaneous items kept by individual enemies. I think that’s all there is here.”
Baek Geon excitedly explained this to me as I slowly changed the subject. In the midst of all this, it was like Baek Geon to find the place where the most valuable items were.
After taking a quick look inside, it seemed like this place was mainly used to store items looted from merchants.
“The original plan was to sneak in and steal… ”
Baek Geon scratched his head and muttered. He seemed sorry for the trouble I had gone through at his request.
“What… Because they didn’t like me either. Somehow I ended up killing them all. Still, since there were no witnesses, wouldn’t it be true that he went there secretly anyway?”
“I see… ?”
I chatted with Baek Geon, who tilted his head, and took care of the items in the warehouse.
