Chapter Index

    *** ***

    Moyongse is a forest owned by Seomseobunta.

    Under the watchful eye of Mo Yong-mo, the subordinates were under strict supervision, and the military personnel, conscious of the outside gaze, were also crouching in a state similar to that of a seal, so the private lands belonging to Seomseobunta were completely equivalent to Muju Communes.

    midnight.

    There was a suspicious shadow roaming around Muju Gongsan Mountain, and it was a blood member of a blood religion.

    “Is this place?”

    The blood man looked down at the floor with blood-stained eyes.

    This was the place where Hocheonan buried the body of a blood relative.

    As the blood man dug up the ground, a half-rotted corpse was revealed. He paid no heed to the blood man and examined the heart of the corpse.

    “Luckily it wasn’t damaged.”

    Sigh!

    The blood man’s fingers pierced the rotting corpse and reached its heart. Although the corpse was already in an advanced stage of decomposition, fresh blood was preserved in the heart according to the techniques of the blood religion, and that blood transmitted the memories of the dead person to the blood person.

    “Mmm!”

    The blood person who received the messenger’s memories let out a groan.

    The lion’s memories that can be received through the blood contained in the heart are only one or two strong memories of the last moment, but there are many things that can be known from just those memories.

    The blood person who received the memories nodded.

    ‘As expected, Hyungsoo is a person with a brain.’

    Although he was a blood person who did not know the face of the Noegeomnangin, there was no way that there was another expert using the Noegeomgang with a young brain in the vicinity of Seomseobunta.

    There was a lot of circumstantial evidence showing that Noegeomnangin was deeply involved in the affairs of Shaanseobunta, so Hyeolin was not surprised and accepted the fact.

    However, another scene was enough to make the blood man frown.

    ‘Why didn’t the Iron Blood Tomb attack the enemy?’

    Even though he used a spell, the Iron Blood Book did not attack the Brain Blade in the end.

    The blood man shook his head.

    Because the decision was not up to him.

    The blood man took the bat out of his pocket and sent it away with a detailed report detailing the results of his inspection of the corpse and the area around Seomseobunta.

    Food!

    The bat carrying the letter containing the truth about what happened in Shaanxi Bunta flew powerfully through the air.

    *** ***

    Sasak! Sasasak!

    The black cat thought as he watched Wei Seo-ryeon’s hand movements.

    ‘It looks like you gambled hard in the meantime.’

    Black Cat, who was forced to become Wei Seo-ryeon’s gambling partner every day, felt a significant change in Wei Seo-ryeon’s skills.

    Is it natural that quite a bit of time has passed since he and Ho Cheon-an left the Black Dragon Castle in pursuit of Jeong-cheol?

    Wi Seo-ryeon, with smooth hands developed through hard work and a confident smile based on such hard work, was showing quite a bit of experience as a gambler.

    however.

    The gaze of the black cat looking at Wei Seo-ryeon was extremely cold.

    “…is on the left.”

    “Wrong!”

    Wei Seo-ryeon raises her glass triumphantly and Hyeok Kirin soothes her nervousness.

    There were only a few home appliances left in Hyuk Kirin’s seat, and Wi Seo-ryeon’s place was full of home appliances.

    “Hahaha! How about giving up at this point?”

    “Keuuu…!”

    Wi Seo-ryeon is using all her skills to crush Hyeok Kirin, who is clearly a beginner even to those who don’t know gambling!

    In the meantime, he was constantly saying mean things and changing people’s clothes, so naturally, the black cat’s gaze towards Wei Seo-lian could not help but become cold.

    ‘Do it in moderation, in moderation!’

    How is it that only his gambling skills have improved, but the person hasn’t grown an inch?

    I couldn’t help but sigh as I watched him laughing in satisfaction at the sight of him having fun slaughtering the novice Hyeok Kirin.

    There was no twist in the confrontation, and all of Hyuk Qilin’s household appliances fell into Wei Seolian’s hands.

    After losing three rounds, Hyuk Kirin lowered his head.

    “Are your hearts broken?”

    “….”

    On the other hand, Wei Seo-ryeon was busy wondering if she was enjoying the taste of true victory for the first time in a long time.

    After Black Cat and Hu Tian-an left, Wei Shi-lian was unable to feel the true taste of spirit gambling.

    The reason was because there was no suitable partner.

    After Black Cat and Hu Tian-an left, the only person Wei Shu-lian could gamble with was Wei Ji-tian.

    Although it was possible to call gamblers from underground gambling halls to gamble, it was impossible to avoid the nature of entertainment between the gamblers at underground gambling halls and the high-ranking officials, who had a very clear hierarchical relationship.

    So where would you have experienced true victory?

    In addition to that situation, although he was a novice at gambling, Hyeok Kirin’s reaction, full of anger and jumping around like a live fish, gave Wei Seo-ryeon a fresh feeling.

    Because there was no one in the Heavenly Demon Church who would gamble with Wi Seo-ryeon, a minor Cheonma, while showing intense hostility.

    “Well, the way he ran like a rhinoceros showed quite a bit of spirit, but unfortunately his skills weren’t the same.”

    Hearing Wei Seo-ryeon’s excited words, Hyeok Kirin’s head dropped even more and his body trembled.

    “The strong become winners and the weak become losers…”

    Wei Seo-ryeon, who couldn’t control her excitement and was talking loudly, suddenly closed her mouth.

    This was because my eyes met with a black cat whose eyes were so cold that they could not be described in words.

    A gaze so cold that you start to notice things you never knew before!

    The black cat who forcibly instilled wisdom in Wei Seo-ryeon opened his mouth.

    “Enough for today and come next time.”

    From Wei Seo-ryeon’s perspective, there are many opponents who have not yet tasted it. Wei Seo-ryeon, who felt regretful about leaving like this, tried to protest against Black Cat’s words.

    “No…”

    however.

    “Next time.”

    Wei Seo-ryeon’s mouth fell shut as she saw the eyes of the black cat, which seemed like they could not get any colder, become even colder.

    “Hmm, then again tomorrow…”

    Wei Seo-ryeon, who had secretly set the date, quickly ran away to avoid the gaze of the black cat.

    Black Cat, who was looking at Wei Seo-ryeon’s back to Demon Bridge with wild eyes, relaxed her eyes and secretly noticed Hyeok Kirin’s notice.

    Hyuk Kirin froze with his fists clenched and his head bowed.

    The air was so heavy that even Seogong, who always made a squeak, could not breathe.

    “Well…um…”

    Ho Cheon-an was about to say something to resolve the situation.

    “Aaaah!!!”

    Hyuk Kirin exploded.

    Xu Gong was so startled that he hid behind Tang Xiaoyeol, and everyone was shocked.

    “Ugh! decomposition! I’m angry!!!”

    thud! thud! Wow!!

    It was Hyuk Kirin who had a cute appearance and was stomping his feet with matching gestures, but even the aftermath wasn’t cute. The ground of the camp is shaking mercilessly and internal winds are blowing in all directions! Hwagyeong’s anger!

    Cold sweat was forming on the faces of the group members as they looked at Hyeok Kirin, who was shaking his upper body and breathing heavily.

    This is because Kyeong was running wild according to Hyeok Kirin’s inhalation and exhalation, causing a stir in the campground.

    Hyeok Kirin, who vented his anger like that, gradually recovered the sutra.

    When everyone calmed down, even the police, who were running wild, a true silence enveloped the surroundings.

    “I’m angry.”

    “Hyeok Kirin Sojeo..”

    “I’m angry about losing, but what makes me even more angry is that I can’t refute the words of that obnoxious Socheonma.”

    “I’m really fine. Hyeokgirin Sojeo. There is no need to gamble…”

    Ho Cheon-an imagined himself sitting side by side with Hyuk Kirin, picking up various horses and serving them, gambling.

    ‘hmm.,,’

    Just the thought of gambling with the princess made me tremble.

    “No!”

    Hyeok Kirin gritted his teeth, having no way of knowing what Hocheonan was imagining. Hyeok Kirin’s mind was filled with only Wei Seo-ryeon’s eyes looking down at him.

    The look in his eyes confirms that he has a closer relationship with Ho Cheon-an than the rest of the group!

    Hyuk Kirin looked at Ho Cheon-an. Hyeok Kirin bit his lip as he looked at Ho Cheon-an, who was shocked.

    It’s frustrating, but she may be right.

    Whether it was gambling or magic, I only admired Hocheonan’s talents and never attempted to learn or understand them myself.

    ‘Perhaps Wei Seo-ryeon, who shares the realm of gambling, is closer to Ho Cheon-an than he is.’

    Even as a disciple of the Jeomchang Sect, he is also his mortal enemy.

    Even as a member of the imperial family, he is a mortal enemy.

    An opponent who was even defeated once in a confrontation as a warrior.

    Hyeok Kirin was extremely angry at himself for not being able to shake off this feeling of anxiety against Wei Seo-ryeon.

    This was because there was no basis in his mind to completely shake off this anxiety.

    ‘never! You can’t outrun that woman!’

    If you’re behind, just catch up. If there is no basis, you can have it. If you’re far away now…just get closer!

    “Teach me how to gamble!”

    Hyuk Kirin looked at Hocheonan with such determination.

    “…Yes.”

    Hocheonan’s answer, who received Hyeokkirin’s burning gaze, was predetermined.

    *** ***

    I was reminded of Yu-kyung, who said that there was a gambling top around Hyeok Kirin, so she mobilized her classmates to put him down and even went so far as to disguise herself as Du-jak.

    There was such an uproar because one of the party was hidden…

    “So, you mean like this?”

    “Yes.”

    Hyeok Gi-rin is holding a glass and constantly fidgeting with his hands. What if Yu-kyung found out about this situation now?

    oh….

    My back suddenly became wet.

    “Warrior Ho?”

    Hyeok Gi-rin’s chastisement drove out thoughts that were harmful to my mental health from my mind.

    Yes, it was something I had to do anyway.

    It was none other than me who handed the dice to those crow-like things, and the incidents that occurred as a result are all my karma.

    Above all, it was the first time that Hyuk Kirin showed such emotion and was so stubborn.

    Was there something that the gentle Hyuk Kirin could never give up?

    Wasn’t Hyuk Kirin the one who took a step back and gave up a lot while traveling together? Seeing that Hyuk Kirin showed such fighting spirit, I thought it was my duty as a colleague to do my best to help Hyuk Kirin.

    …Let’s kneel down and pray to the Emperor later.

    I thought as I watched Hyeok Kirin’s hand movements.

    Can Hyuk Kirin defeat Wi Seo-ryeon?

    It is true that Hyuk Kirin is a beginner who has never gambled before, but that does not mean he has no potential assets.

    Hyeok Kirin has a history of learning various things while teaching magic to Zen masters at the Jeomchang School.

    They just don’t know how to switch to gambling skills, but they have laid the foundation for hand skills.

    Even if he pulls out all of his assets, his chances of winning against Wei Seo-ryeon, whose gambling skills have improved considerably, are slim.

    I have been teaching gambling to various people for a long time.

    Through enlightenment, he taught gambling skills to Dang Do-gyeong, taught Dang Ga-ju and the elders of Dog, and indirectly passed on gambling skills to Wi Ji-cheon and Wi Seo-ryeon.

    Based on my experiences, it would have been quite difficult for Hyeok Kirin to catch up with Wi Seo-ryeon’s skills even if I taught him.

    “Warrior Ho.”

    Could it be that my thoughts were revealed on my face?

    Hyukgirin looked at me and said.

    “I really want to win.”

    “Hmm…”

    “This is not an empty promise to win tomorrow’s game. I am determined to never back down until I overcome that small mountain.”

    “…is that so.”

    Was it me who lacked determination?

    I also changed my mind at Hyuk Kirin’s attitude of accepting even a long-term war.

    “It is difficult for Sojeo, who is just introduced to gambling, to surpass Socheonma. Even if you repeat intense special training, it is not easy.”

    “Special training. This is exactly what I was hoping for. I will endure anything to overcome Socheonma.”

    “Good. Let’s unfold the rock.”

    “Yes!”

    Hyeok Kirin mixed the cup with great enthusiasm, but of course his hand movements were very clumsy.

    Seeing that, I got up and stood next to Hyeok Kirin.

    and.

    I placed my hand on top of Hyeok Gi-rin’s hand mixing the glasses.

    “Eh…?”

    “This is how you do it.”

    I forced Hyeok Kirin’s hand, which had stiffened in surprise at my sudden action, to move.

    When I taught Hyeok Kirin how to gamble in the way I had so far, there was only one move I had to make if the possibility of beating Wei Seo-ryeon was slim.

    Choosing a teaching method that allows you to learn gambling faster.

    Rather than waiting for Hyeok Kirin to understand and master gambling techniques through theoretical explanations and demonstrations, he directly moves his hands and engraves them on his body.

    That was the breakthrough I thought it would be.
