episode_0121

When I came out of Hongryeon’s room, I saw Chaeryeon in the nearby hallway.

Did he realize something from his meeting with Sayoon earlier when he was nodding his head with a serious expression?

Then I guess I shouldn’t bother you.

“…Why are you talking?”

“I saw someone, but why did I just leave?”

Chae-ryeon caught me like a ghost and smiled brightly as I tried to pass by.

“I did it because I felt like I was concentrating.”

“It’s not really like that, is it? ah. I’m going to have tea with Sayun. Do you want to go together?”

“Let’s go.”

I walked along Chaeryeon. Sayun, who was sitting alone near the training ground fiddling with her sword, smiled brightly when she spotted us.

“Guest guest! uh? Why are you coming with me?”

“I was caught on my way.”

“If anyone hears it, they will think I brought it here by force. Sayoon. Would you like some tea?”

“Oh. That’s right.”

Sayoon returned the sword to its scabbard and rushed over. Chae-ryeon took her with her and led us to her room.

When I entered her room, which was next to Hongryeon, I saw that it was quite spacious and clean.

In particular, the books that filled the large bookshelf showed signs that Chae-ryeon’s knowledge was considerable.

Sayun wasn’t surprised because she had seen it several times, but I was quite surprised because it was my first time.

It’s a bit shabby for a woman’s room.

“It would have been nice if I had brought sister-in-law Hyeonhwi with me.”

“I heard you are still reviewing the sparring with your father? Then it’s better to leave it alone.”

Because it would be a good opportunity for Hyunhwi. As Chae-ryeon said, it would be better not to interfere for no reason.

So we enjoyed some light refreshments. Chae-ryeon’s driving skills were quite excellent, and the refreshments she brought were also good.

What I liked most was that Sayoon was happily eating while munching.

“Anyway, it seems like the two have become quite close.”

“Woohuhu. Yes? At this rate, can I call you a best friend? ”

“Hehe. Yes.”

“Then why don’t you stop being polite now?”

“Uh… is that okay?”

“Okay then!”

Since Sayun is an orphan, it is difficult to accurately determine her age, so even if they talk to each other, there will be no problem.

“Yes. Thank you.”

“Thank you~.”

I can’t believe I can see this heartwarming scene right in front of me. oh my god.

A part of my heart was growing grandiose.

“But what about Soje Hong?”

“I wasn’t seriously hurt. Just like Sojeo Chae. It’s the next room, Sayoon, go check it out later.”

“Hehe. Yes.”

“I’m glad you weren’t seriously hurt. Tsk. Anyway, I never thought she would become so strong.”

“Are you not confident?”

“It can’t be.”

As expected, if you don’t have confidence, you’re a corpse. She smiled naturally and continued to tell the story.

Is it because Chae-ryeon also uses various organizations of Moonwol-jeong to obtain information about the world?

There were a lot of pretty interesting stories.

Among them, the most impressive thing was that the Demonic Cult clashed with a certain force.

“Which force.”

“Well, they say that even the Murim Alliance’s intelligence department couldn’t figure this out accurately. They say they are investigating on the open side, so it will come out accurately.”

“Are there any special features?”

“Characteristics… One thing I knew was that it leads monsters. ah. And it is said that the earth giants also moved.”

“Soil Giant… Isn’t it the Iron Blood Order?”

Obviously, the Iron Bloods also controlled monsters. And the Emperors of the Iron Blood Order, who belong to the Five Elements, created subordinates who used that power.

The iron-blooded beast is a water monster, the iron-blooded beast is a gold tiger…

As if Sayun was remembering that, she muttered softly and Chaeryeon tilted her head.

” Iron Blood Order…? ah. Those who attacked Hongseongmun?”

“Yes…”

There is anger in Sayoon’s eyes. Chae-ryeon smiled at her and sipped her tea.

“This is it. It would be a very grateful story if enemy and enemy fought each other. Is that really true? Earth giants are easy to use even for those who use magic… And why are they fighting? There’s no reason, right?”

Chae-ryeon was a bit negative, but I raised my hand more in favor of Sayun’s words.

It’s not like there’s no possibility of that happening.

In our scenario, if you successfully pass Part 1, two possibilities arise in Part 2.

The first is that the Iron Blood Order is no longer targeting Hongseong Mountain.

This would be the best, but Hongseongsan’s spiritual energy is mouth-watering food for them, so they will try to gain strength and target it somehow.

Therefore, we assumed in our scenario that the second option was the most likely.

It is to cause a surge in places where spiritual energy from other places is gathered.

Hongseong Mountain is the place with the most spiritual energy in the empire, but it is not the only place.

Isn’t Cheonghodo a place where spiritual energy gathers?

Of course, the difficulty here is higher than Mt. Hongseong, and there will be less spiritual power available, so I won’t touch it.

Even among places that are not that big, there are places where spiritual energy gathers, so it may be that they are trying to gradually touch those places first and then build up strength to move.

And, of course, there is such a place in the Demonic Cult’s territory, and among the battlefields in Part 2 of Heavenly Moon, there was also the Demonic Cult’s territory.

Perhaps the Sangvis movement there was a sign that Part 2 was about to begin.

In the bright moon of heaven, Sayun went there directly to seek revenge, but now there is no reason…

I’ll have to discuss with Geomseong about what to do with this part.

Even from the Sword Saint’s perspective, he would have no intention of just leaving the Iron Blood Order that touched Hongseongmun.

“That information. Can you let me know when more comes out?”

“It’s not that difficult.”

good. I obtained a way to obtain information from the political faction.

We had a great time talking about various things.

Sayoon and Chaeryeon were going to see Hongryeon, and I was about to go to my room.

I ran into someone walking in the hallway.

“ugh.”

It was Chaejin.

She looked at me blankly, flinched in surprise, and quickly averted her gaze.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Uh. eww. That’s it.”

After struggling, she sighed softly.

“Because I couldn’t win this time…”

“Don’t be too concerned about winning or losing. Is your wound okay?”

She scratched her cheek when I asked her, recalling how she got hit by Hongryeon’s herbivore and fell.

“Yes. are you okay. Would you like to see it?”

Perhaps because she is wearing comfortable clothes rather than the usual Moonwoljeong attire, she looks comfortable rolling up her sleeves.

She showed her outstretched arms without hesitation, and I looked around. It was bruised and a little swollen, but it didn’t seem to be broken.

“If you were hurt, you should have gone to the medical room. Of course, it doesn’t look like you’re seriously injured, but I think it would be better to apply some Geumchang medicine…”

“I realized something while I was organizing things with my father earlier. It’s late to sort that out. I’m going to cover it now.”

“I see. Then let’s go together.”

“Huh? It’s okay.”

“Are you really okay?”

“…No. It was just something I said once.”

Chaejin smiled happily. When I walked with her and arrived near the doctor’s office, neither the doctor nor the doctor was there.

“There is no one. Hmm… should I come later…”

“I have some Geumchang medicine, so I can give you treatment that just involves applying it and wrapping it with a bandage. Would you mind waiting? Or.”

“Please!”

I nodded at Chaejin’s words. At that moment, the Geumchang medicine was placed on the table, and I picked up the wet towel and placed my hand on Chaejin’s exposed arm.

“ugh…”

Chaejin groaned as he wiped away the bruised area. I smiled bitterly at her.

“Does it hurt?”

“Oh, no. I’m just a little surprised.”

Silence continues. In the meantime, I applied all the medicine to her arm and wrapped it with the bandage I had in the dressing room, and also treated the wounds on her calf and the top of her foot.

While Chaejin, who was flinching when I played with her little feet, looked down at me, I healed her wounds and then opened my mouth.

“Now it is time for Cheongho to leave.”

“It’s a shame. I want to stay a little longer and then go. ah. I’m going to tour Cheongho tomorrow. Are you going?”

“Hmm. I have to go.”

I nodded, and Chaejin smiled brightly.

“Then please look forward to it! I will never let you forget what happened here!”

well.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget what happened this time…

The next day came.

Hongryeon doesn’t seem to have fully recovered yet, but there is no problem with moving around.

That’s why she was able to participate in this Cheongho tour.

“If you’re sick, you can rest.”

“Hehe. I heard you realized something too? Shouldn’t that be restored?”

“Yes. I did it all overnight yesterday.”

Seeing the two of them smiling brightly made me feel a little sick.

Will I really be able to do it well?

Sayoon, who was standing next to me at that time, smiled brightly.

“Guest guest. Aren’t you excited?”

“I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

There is a saying that if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.

Of course, I had no intention of avoiding it, so I plan to enjoy it for now.

I lightly tapped Hongryun and Chaejin on the back.

“Stop it. ruler. Shouldn’t we go quickly?”

“Ah. Shall we go now?”

“Sayun. Is there anything you want to see? ah. Hyeonhwi, who are you?”

Sayoon and Hyeonhwi looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

“Cheongho!”

I want to go up to the frozen Cheongho Lake and look inside. As the two shouted, Chaeryeon chuckled.

“Of course I will go there. What about the guest? Is there a place you want?”

“I don’t care where I am.”

“Then, come on! Follow me!!”

Chaeryeon walked confidently.

Touring Cheongho was enjoyable in its own way. The next day, after the tour, we started getting ready to leave.

“I want to follow along, but I’m doing some research.”

You’re saying what I asked, right? When Chae-ryeon made eye contact with me, she nodded slightly and smiled, and the apprentice looked at me and said.

“It’s a shame that my good drinking friend is leaving. I’ll go play later.”

“We welcome you with joy. Let’s prepare some good alcohol.”

The apprentice nodded slightly, and I sat down in the driver’s seat of the cart.

ruler. Let’s go home now.

***

After Hongryeon’s group left, Hongseongmun Gate, which was already crowded with people, became short on manpower.

Of course, because it was winter, there wasn’t much work.

Still, the loss of three people, especially Hongryeon and Hyeonhwi, who were good at their work, could not be considered a small blow.

Therefore, Geomseong reduced the burden on his students and chose what he could do.

That was the patrol of Seomhwachon.

The days of going out on patrol every day and coming back to look after the students continue.

and.

Around the time she went out on patrol today and entered the guesthouse.

The sound of horses’ hooves began to be heard.

Geomseong pricked up his ears and looked towards the road.

“What are you doing?”

“…It’s coming.”

“Huh?”

Yohwan turned his eyes towards Geomseong.

The small dot was getting bigger and bigger as it approached this place.

It was one cart.

Yohwan chuckled when he saw the man driving the cart.

“You have good eyes too.”

“Your name is Geomsung.”

A familiar face appears along with the clattering sound of wheels rolling.

Facing him, Geomsung took a step closer and spoke.

“Welcome.”

Despite her unexpected greeting, Yuwol responded with a calm expression as always.

“I went there.”

Geomseong nodded as if satisfied with the answer and smiled slightly.
