The sacred item passed down from generation to generation to the masters of Hongseongmun was the Hyeonungap.

Hyunwoon armor was made of nebula iron and had considerable defensive power, but that was not its true utility.

The most important effect of Hyunwoon Gap is to strengthen Hongseong Shingong based on the star power contained in Nebula Iron.

The armor, which strengthens Hongseong’s martial arts by borrowing the power of the stars and helps it not to lose its strength, exists in Hongseongmun and has been a great strength to Hongseongmun for generations.

However, Hyun Woon-gap no longer existed in Hongseongmun.

This was because the Great Residence within the Simma destroyed the Master in the process of attacking him.

Geomseong looked at the nebula iron, the material used to make the destroyed Hyunwoon Armor, in silence and shook his head.

“If it’s Hyunwoon Gap… that’s right, right?”

She asked in surprise, as Hongryeon had already heard this story.

Nebula iron, which can only be obtained from stars that fell from the sky to the ground, has considerable value in itself.

Moreover, I heard that it is so rare that it is hard to find anymore, but I never thought it would be here.

Hongryeon, who was surprised, and Sayoon, who was even more surprised, looked at Seong Woon-cheol, and Geomseong spoke in a bright voice.

“Anyway.”

Is it to relieve the heavy atmosphere? Geomsung raised his head and smiled.

“It was great. ruler. Like I said, keep this nebula for yourself.”

“What? But.”

” Nebula iron is an important material that is also used to make treasured swords. So it would be nice to make a weapon for you with it. No one can handle it right now, but…”

Geomseong thought of Seomhwachon.

Maksa, an excellent blacksmith, and Changju, an equally excellent talisman.

What if the county and Yuwol cooperate to develop Seomhwachon?

Soon, there will be a way to use Nebula Iron within the Island Village.

At that time, Seong Woon-cheol will be a great help to Sayoon.

Geomseong smiled softly and patted her shoulder.

“Now. Let’s go back now!!”

After the night’s secret challenge, Sayoon returned to her room after training with her sister-in-laws, who wanted to train further, and lay down on the bed feeling tired.

Today, as I laid my face on the blanket that had been washed and dried during the day and had the warm scent of sunlight, I felt my tired body becoming tired.

As she felt her eyes slowly closing, she hurriedly got up.

“Oh, no.”

“Hmm? Aren’t you sleeping?”

“Yes. I’m going to write a letter to you and sleep.”

“Tell Mr. Uncle that I’m thankful too…”

Yuhui spoke softly in a sleepy voice.

Today, she gained enlightenment in the secret world and has become more fluent in her walking techniques.

Sayoon nodded, remembering that there was already an awkward part in the execution of the inner exercises, and she was glad that that part had been fixed.

So, Sayoon went outside with a brush, ink, and paper, sat down in the moonlight, and picked up the brush.

“Um…”

What should I say?

There are so many words floating around in my head that they seem to be overflowing, so I feel like I have to sort them out.

That’s why Sayun couldn’t move the brush.

“What are you doing when you’re not sleeping?”

The one who approached was Hongryeon.

She is Hong Seong-moon’s ambassador and is like the older sister that Sayun follows.

Sayoon smiled at her as she walked towards her with long strides, her red hair blowing in the night breeze.

“I’m going to write a letter to my uncle.”

“Really? Then, tell him my story. Thank you always.”

“Ahaha. Yes.”

After saying that, Sayun picked up the brush again. But no letters came out. Hongryeon stared at her for a moment, then laughed and took Sayun to her room.

“Have a cup of tea. I seem to be having trouble deciding what to say.”

“Yes…”

Hongryeon slowly brewed tea. Sayoon, who was looking at her blankly, sighed softly.

“The Seong Woon-cheol I got today.”

“Hmm? that? don’t worry. If it doesn’t work in Seomhwachon, we will find someone who can handle it through the Murim Alliance.”

“Uh. no. That’s not it.”

Hesitantly, Sayun looked at Hongryeon’s eyes and cautiously opened her mouth.

“With this… can’t we make that Hyunwoon Gap? Is there anyone you know who knows the recipe?”

Suddenly, Hongryeon’s hand, which was about to get into the car, stopped. She slowly turned her head, stared at Sayun, and spoke calmly.

“But it’s yours. ‘Uncle’ gave it to ‘you’.”

“That’s true… You said it’s me who decides how to use it… And I have my own sword. My uncle told me. Also, I am not suited for weapons that are good enough to use nebula iron.”

“You don’t know that. As you know, all Hongseong Shingong ceremonies can be seen as a stepping stone to the Great Sword Ceremony. In other words, you too will have to prepare a greatsword just for yourself someday.”

And maybe, no. Nebular iron will definitely come in handy then.

Hongryeon spoke as if admonishing, but Sayun slowly shook her head.

“But I know that everything has its appropriate use. And in my opinion, Seong Woon-cheol is…”

She looked straight at Hongryeon.

“I think it’s right that it should be used for Hong Seong-moon…”

Sayoon’s voice was trembling, but there was no hesitation. Is that why? Hongryeon’s hand was still still.

And when her hand moved, there was a smile on her face.

“It is written in the record, but you are the one who decides that. I can’t say anything. But your worry…is that he might be disappointed, right?”

“…Yes.”

“Then why don’t you ask? I think your ‘uncle’ won’t be angry about something like that.”

“I think so too…”

Hongryeon held out a teacup to Sayoon, who became sullen.

“No matter what choice you make, we will respect it. I hope you don’t feel too pressured.”

“…Yes. Ambassador.”

A smile filled with determination appeared on Sayun’s lips.

***

I heard that you always have to make choices when living in this world.

select. yes. It’s an important issue.

What would have happened if I had chosen not to hold Master’s hand?

What would have happened if you came to Hongseongmun and chose not to practice properly?

But sometimes, I think it’s not a choice, it’s something that’s given to me by fate.

Just like you.

I think the man who suddenly approached me one day was not a choice, but a fate I could neither avoid nor reject.

Of course, I’m not saying I don’t like it! Please don’t misunderstand!!

If you were my destiny, I would be so happy!

Last time, I went to a secret place that my uncle sent me. And that’s where I got the nebula iron.

Since you are a man who knows about Hongseongmun’s secret area, what is Seonguncheol? I think you probably know at least where it is used.

That’s probably why you told me.

It’s up to me to decide how to use this.

To be honest, I was really surprised when I first heard about Nebula. I couldn’t even imagine that the value of this iron was so great.

Who would have thought that a piece of nebula iron would be the material for that precious treasured sword.

And, I never thought that this would be the material that could be used to recreate Hong Seong-moon’s new item.

I also decided to use Seong Woon-cheol to recreate Hong Seong-moon’s new work.

Maybe this is also the choice you give me.

They say I pay the price for my choice, so will there be a day when I regret this decision in the distant future?

I don’t think so. Because I believe that Hong Seong-moon’s happiness, Master’s happiness, and the happiness of the other sisters are as important as my own happiness.

And, I hope my choice brings happiness to you too.

P.s.

As I miss you, I am sending you another bottle of the Cheonil Plum Tea I made this time. I don’t know if you’ve eaten everything I sent you last time. Please let me know at any time when you have finished eating. The only thing I can do for you is this.

I took out a small container from the box. I already drank almost all of the Thousand-Day Plum Tea that Sayun sent me, and it went well.

I took a sip of the newly-received thousand-day plum tea and read her letter again.

By the way, using Nebula Iron to make Hyeoncloud Armor… it’s not a bad choice.

Because Hyunwoon Gap was one of the pieces of equipment recognized by Heavenly Moon.

There is nothing wrong with having one at Hongseongmun.

And Sayun’s great sword can be made with better materials later, so…

Also, she said it was a test, but she didn’t really mean it that way.

In the first place, that secret area wasn’t the only place to get nebula, and I wanted to let you know where you could get it again when the time came.

I looked at the letter and smiled.

In fact, I liked Sayoon’s attitude more than anything else.

He is able to use it for himself, and even the monks would have allowed it, so he has the personality to give back what he has received.

Even though we went through that difficult situation, we were able to be satisfied because she resembled me and the woman we saw.

No matter what the situation, you never change.

I tapped the book again and stood up. Reading a pleasant book in the morning.

Today will be a proud day.

After drinking all the plum tea, burning some tobacco, and doing some work, I glanced out the window and saw a familiar face towards the backyard. It was Sayun and Ryu Hyeon.

Are they on this patrol?

I leaned against the window and waved.

“Oh! Hello!”

“Okay. Are you out on patrol?”

“Yes!! Today I’m with Sister Ryu Hyeon!”

“Hello. Guest owner.”

I greeted Ryuhyeon, who smiled at me, and before they left, I went downstairs and tossed the two fresh apples I had just purchased.

Sayoon quickly grabbed it and tilted her head, smiling at the puzzled two.

“Eat as you go.”

“Huh?! You don’t have to give it to me!”

“It’s okay. You’ll have a hard time patrolling, but I’m telling you to at least eat that and go. I’ll tell you later when it’s over, so let’s eat some mooncakes.”

In the end, Sayun, who had hesitated, smiled bitterly and bowed when Ryu Hyun also received two apples.

“Hehe. I’ll eat well!”

“Thank you!”

The two responded energetically and went out to patrol.

ruler.

Then let me work too. Day.

In a few days, I have to go to Yangwiseong with Hongryeon and Chaejin.

Until then, all backlogged work must be completed.
