‘oh… !’
The moment I looked at the rope and expressed my admiration, the swords of the guys tied together clashed with each other.
visor!
“Ugh… !”
“What, what!”
The guys who lost their swords because their wrists were forcibly bent looked back. Onlookers stood to the left and right, following the gaze of the person climbing the rope.
At the end of the rope stood the soldiers of Danrisega who had dealt with the misbehaving men earlier. One of the warriors threw the rope that tied the Sapa Longin’s sword. With a flick of his wrist, the swords tied to the rope were retrieved as if drawn towards him.
The warrior said as he handed the stolen sword to another person next to him.
“Making noise on this street is not tolerated.”
Judging from the atmosphere, the Danrisae warrior who used the hand seemed to be of a higher status than the other warriors. Not only did he display his energy, but he also seemed very skilled at disarming himself in an instant.
However, the Sapa Rongins were unable to come to their senses and confronted him, wondering if he was really drunk as Namgungmu said.
“Are you also disgusting political faction bastards?”
“Don’t be flattered that you stole the sword with such a grab!”
As he said that and took out a spare sword from his chest, the Danris family warrior sighed.
“… okay. When the dark ages open, guys like you always flow in. Even if I clean it up, I don’t know where this dirt keeps appearing.”
“Oh, filth… ?!”
“If you set an example, things will be quiet for a few days.”
It seemed that every time the dark hour was held, there were always a few warriors who walked out in this way. It was a place where all kinds of things and people gathered, so it was not something that could not be understood. He muttered something cold and began to slowly turn the rope.
When the sword was taken away a moment ago, there was a weight attached to the end of the rope, but now a sharp dagger was tied to the end of the rope that was being spun.
“You will be the example… !”
Pow!
“!”
The dagger that Danlisega was spinning flew like a bullet and hit Sapa Ronin’s face. It was a skill that accurately pierced between the eyebrows. He moved his wrist and the dagger was pulled out and returned to him.
The remaining guy had an urgent expression on his face, as if he had come to his senses only after seeing his comrade die.
“Now, wait… ! I am the Blood Woong faction in the middle camp right next to me… !”
However, his last words did not reach the Danlisae family’s warriors, who had already decided to make an example of them.
I watched him carefully as he handled the rope and dagger.
Ssuk…
He used the power of the spinning dagger to wrap the rope around his body. It was seen wrapped several times not only around the torso, but also around the arms and even the neck.
And as the rope shortens, the speed with which the dagger spins reaches its peak.
The rope wrapped around the body of the Danlise warrior was released like a snake rushing towards its prey.
Wedge!!
Sigh!
“Wow… !”
The dagger, which could be said to be the head of a snake, was stuck in the heart this time.
The way he freely used ropes and daggers seemed like he had supernatural powers. It reminded me of Kinetic Rope, a hero in the world of Namhira.
I felt like I had seen a funny stunt.
It was very impressive to see the rope around the body being undone and the dagger being shot out quickly, like a magician making a false knot and untying it all at once.
I nodded to myself.
‘I think it can be called secret swordsmanship at that level.’
“Inner energy was not detected! That’s great skill.”
Namgoongmu, who saw it as well as I, was slightly impressed.
It was not easy to take a person’s life by piercing the bone that protects the brain and heart without any internal strength.
The man from Danlisega approached us and spoke to the street vendor selling fake lamb skewers.
“You will confiscate all profits earned from the black market for the crime of inciting a disturbance.”
Selling fake lamb skewers itself seemed to be a problem-free activity.
‘Well, if there is something like a consumer protection system, it’s not a black eye.’
The street vendor who hired the Sapa ronin was trembling when he saw that the ronin he had hired died in just two days. He was led by the hands of other warriors and disappeared into a nearby store. Considering that the misbehaving people were dragged away earlier, it seemed that Heuksi was dealing with those who caused trouble as quietly as possible.
‘It doesn’t seem like they’re killing him, but are they kicking him out through the back door?’
Once the street vendors were cleared, the onlookers dispersed and started going their own way again.
Danlisega’s attendant turned towards us only after all the cleaning was done.
“… You are political faction people. You may be new to Heuksi. If you say you want to go out, we will guide you to the exit. There are a lot of miscellaneous people here who behave like that. There will be many things that make you frown.”
I don’t know if it was because we didn’t draw our swords, or because we were from the same political faction as the Danrisega, but our attitude was different from when dealing with the Sapa ronin.
I asked him.
“How did you know that we were a political faction?”
“Most of the people wearing such neat clothes are members of political factions. Even though he covered his face with bamboo, his atmosphere was different from others. And even a calm response… How great it would be if only people like you visited Heuksi.”
He muttered in a tired tone.
Now, it seems that Danlisegae is not only tacitly tolerating the black market, but is actively managing it.
In fact, if you leave it alone and an accident that is difficult to overlook occurs in the black city, even the simple lease tax that tolerates it will not be able to avoid pointing the finger, so it would be easier to manage it yourself while making the excuse that the black city is a necessary evil. There is also a justification for officially extorting money.
“It must be very difficult.”
“… That’s surprising. Normally, you might be thinking, why manage something like black vision? Do you know that I am Danrisega’s assistant?”
“I didn’t recognize it right away due to my lack of experience, but I heard that was the case. Well, if black poetry is not managed and oppressed, will it completely disappear? It will continue with just a slight change in location. I think it would be better to provide space for children to play while controlling them so that they do not cross the line.”
This is generally what people do. I didn’t see it as a bad thing because Danlisega managed the black market. As I said to Namgung Hwa-ran and Baek Geon before I first came to Heuksi, I don’t know if there was a store that openly sold human flesh. But after a quick look, that didn’t happen.
Perhaps, if Danlisegae had not actively managed it, there really might have been such a store.
From a certain perspective, reining in and managing black times like this is the right thing to do.
‘Because not all sects and families of the political faction can make a living just from the value of their name in a dignified manner like the Namgung family. This is a fact that can be seen if you think about it a little.’
I took a step in front of the group and made a sweeping motion.
“My name is Namgoong Minho. Nice to meet the people of Danlisega.”
The Danli family’s attendant, who had been looking at me as if he were seeing something special, was startled when I suddenly introduced myself.
“Namgoong Minho If you say small cooperative… No way, Yeomraturyong Sohyeop… !”
“It is also called that.”
“It’s an honor to meet you like this! I call it sweet ginseng.”
Danlisam politely handed over the gun. Seeing that he looked very embarrassed, it seemed like he knew the story about me.
I introduced him to the rest of the group.
“The companions here are my wife, Namgung Hwa-ran, and the warriors of Cheonpunggeomdae who served as bodyguards.”
Namgungmu introduced himself on behalf of the Cheonpunggeomdae warriors.
“This is Namgungmu, the leader of the Cheonpung Sword Team. Sweet ginseng Sogaju.”
‘Was it Sogaju?’
Danlisam had an unexpected status. The owner of the Danlis family was personally inspecting the dark city. It certainly seemed like his skill in handling winning votes was excellent. I looked at him with more interest than before.
Danlisam calmly received Namgungmu’s greeting and made a suggestion to me.
“Nice to meet you. It’s fate that I got to meet you like this, but may I make you a cup of tea?”
“Of course. Let’s postpone seeing the dark poetry until later.”
After looking around and looking around, there wasn’t anything that caught my eye among the items that came out today.
After nodding willingly, Danrisam entrusted the patrol of the dark city to other warriors and guided us to another location. The place we were guided to was a guesthouse connected to Heuksi, and each table had partitions, so it was a place where we could talk without worrying about what was going on.
Since there was no reason to cover one’s face here, everyone took off their bamboo masks. Danlisam was a man with an angular chin and a large nose.
When Namgung Hwaran and I’s faces were revealed, Danlisam’s eyes widened.
“Sohyeop Yeomnaturyong was really right! To be honest, I never thought I would see you here again.”
“When have you seen me before?”
“I attended the wedding. Actually, I should have said hello in person at that time, but I didn’t have time… I returned after only saying hello to the seniors.”
“Ah.”
It seems that Danrisam attended my wedding as a representative of Danrisega. However, I, who was the main character at the wedding, was having a dance with Zhuge and other people and was caught by the elders and lost my mind after drinking alcohol. Since he was dragged to the bed in that state and squeezed by Namgung Hwaran, there was no way he could remember Danrisam’s face.
When Danrisam said he didn’t have time to say hello, he was saying it out of consideration for me. Because I was the one who didn’t treat the guests properly.
Namgung Hwaran, who had roughly figured out the situation, also lowered his head. Her ears, seen from the side, turned red.
“Sorry. I have nothing to say.”
“No. Rather, it was nice to see a good dance performance.”
Fortunately, Danlisam did not seem offended by the incident. It seemed like the elders at Namgung did a good job of wrapping things up that day so that the other guests wouldn’t be offended.
We continued our conversation in a good mood. Even though they were in the same Anhui, the atmospheres of Hefei and Bongyang were very different. We talked about the atmosphere of each region and briefly shared opinions on the differences between swordsmanship and non-swordsmanship. In response to my curious question, he even took off the victory badge he was wearing and showed it to me.
When it comes to political faction warriors, I had the image in my mind that they were somewhat upright, but Danlisam was an easy-going man who did not fit that image. Even though I was clearly much younger than him, he constantly called me Yeomnaturyong Sohyeop, which made me stand out even more.
Danlisam said with a happy smile.
“Actually, after hearing the rumors of the Yeomnaturyong Sohyeop, I was worried that Heuksi might be viewed negatively.”
“Why is that so?”
“Isn’t that why you got that special title? Killing the bandits who occupied the inn, fighting with Tuma in a life-or-death battle and ultimately winning, and helping the Murim Alliance while traveling and annihilating the King’s Army of Suramun. I thought you might hate Dark Poet just like you hate Mine. If you only listen to the name, it wouldn’t be strange to say that it is a market run by Sapa.”
In fact, all I did was kill demons that attacked, but I thought it might look like that if you look at it from a step away.
As the conversation continued in a good mood, the partition was roughly opened and the unmanned person who was with Danlisam appeared.
“Lord Soga!”
“We are attending a precious guest, what on earth is going on?”
Danlisam frowned slightly. But as the warrior spoke under his breath, his face hardened.
“Someone came from the Pungranghoe (風狼會).”
