episode_0117

I was led into a house in the village by a person. The house was surrounded by people with white cloths on their heads.

Considering that there was talk of calling for a Taoist priest a little while ago, I won’t be in here for that long.

Go inside quietly and wait.

The inside of the house is really nice. There are traces of people who have lived there, but you can tell that it is a well-maintained house because every corner is clean.

As I sat down on the chair, the person who was presumed to be the highest in rank sat across from me. He then ordered his subordinate to bring me something to drink.

I guess I’ll start a conversation.

“You said you were going to Kunlun Mountain. Why are you going?”

It’s an interrogation.

Hmm. What should I do?

There’s no reason to mess with a good person. Well, if that’s the case, then just give them a reason.

I took out the Makyabogeom from my bosom.

“This is a treasure called the Makyabogeom. When you breathe energy into it, a blade made of light and heat comes out. I can’t use it, so I’m going to return it to its original location.”

With those words, you can see the eyes of the people around you fixated on the jewel.

“Treasure, you say?”

As I fumble around, the man in front of me carefully examines the Makyabogeom I took out.

So I decided to explain in detail.

“This is a weapon that has a blade that becomes light coming out of it. So, he repeatedly warned that when infusing energy into the user, they should avoid this area. The Taoist named Hwangbocheon who was there just before also pulled out the blade and touched his skin several times.”

Well, since I have some of Hwang Bo-cheon’s memories, I can say this as if I know everything. What I’m saying is implying a certain fact.

Actually, isn’t he someone related to a Taoist priest?

This is an illusion that will disappear when the Taoist comes, but it is useful for now. The gazes of those looking at me have softened significantly.

“Would you like to try it?”

At those words, the man in front of me’s eyes opened wide.

“Oh, you didn’t even introduce yourself. I am Jang Moon of the Hyeongsan faction. My name is Yoo Dae-jeong. May I ask your name?”

Judging by the way he immediately becomes polite, I guess he is interested in weapons.

Inside, the swordsmen can’t stand the excitement, and their lustful memories sparkle.

“It’s called the first snow.”

Then I handed the jewel to him.

The man who carefully took it looked at the object with a curious expression on his face, so I gave him my attention.

“That part. Think of it as a flame shooting out from there. If you’re thinking of putting your energy in, be careful where you place it, because you could die if you’re not careful.”

Yes. In other words, if you are careful and put energy into that part, you can use the weapon. It’s also a tempting thing to give it a try.

The man listened to me, his expression hardened, and he carefully pointed the blade towards the ceiling.

and.

Woof.

A shorter, bright red blade than the one Hwang Bo-cheon used sticks out.

“Oh.”

“Is that a treasure?”

“Sword of Fire… ….”

People around me who were secretly concentrating also left comments.

“Is it okay if I swing it once?”

Unfortunately, there is no greed in his expression. Rather, his face is filled with boyish curiosity.

iced coffee.

It’s Kim Saeneyo.

Since it wasn’t my weapon anyway, I nodded.

Yoo Dae-jeong, who tried to suppress her excitement but couldn’t hold back her steps, went outside with the Makya sword in her hand and swung it.

The light dances around, leaving afterimages, just like in the classic space operas the man in his faded memories knows.

The eyes of the people present seem to be drawn towards the knife.

A few of them.

I drank my tea quietly, remembering the face of the person whose desires were flickering.

The man who had been dancing with a sword for a while came back with a bright face, covered in sweat all over his body, and put down the Makya sword in front of me without hesitation.

“It was a good experience, Miss Choseol. However, this item seems a bit heavy for a person to use. But how could you hand over such an item so lightly? What would you do if I took it away?”

I have no intention of lying, but I can tell you only part of the truth.

“Aren’t you on the same side as the Taoist?”

Even though they are on the same side, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. Humans and gods are strictly speaking different groups.

“It would be better for the young lady to be a little more suspicious of people.”

“I trust people.”

When I refuted, Yoo Dae-jeong smiled bitterly. Then, she looked at me with the eyes of a child who knows nothing.

“I hope that feeling lasts a long time. Well, then, please rest there until the Taoist priest comes.”

The Jewish people took everyone inside. As soon as they left, they shouted out Jang Moon-in and asked people how the treasure was.

Even after the door closed, the sound of Yudaejeong explaining her experience using the weapon in an excited voice could be faintly heard.

I lifted the Makyabogeom.

In this world, the famous sword is a poison that can bewitch people. I can already see some people being poisoned by it. How long can they resist?

I don’t think everyone is morally superior.

Even with strict discipline, if there are many people, at least one of them will have desires that exceed reason.

So, I hung the Makyabogeom on my waist and went to bed.

Even if it is not this world, the harvest season of other worlds still remains, so it is not boring.

And I also wonder how much helpful the compressed information that Cheonma left behind, called Il-pyeong Cheonma Shingong, would be. That’s why I sent that information to those who could receive it.

A very short memory, less than half of what Eunjae knows.

How efficient is it?

Send it little by little, hoping to see how good the results will be.

As I was spending my time like that, the noise outside grew louder.

It’s later than I thought. I arrived in this town in the morning, and I can see the sunset outside the window. And there are a lot of people gathered.

You’re here.

I got up from my seat and went to the place where we had been talking earlier and waited. Not long after I sat down, the door opened and a group of people came in.

But none of them are carrying any equipment like a jewel.

They are just people with white cloths on their heads. That is, people from the Murim Alliance.

“The interest is… … . We will take you to Kunlun ourselves.”

Did you realize the moment you saw me that I was related to the harvester? Did anyone see my face? I don’t feel any hostility for something like that.

Next to him stands a middle-aged man named Yoo Dae-jeong, whom we saw earlier. He frowns and asks.

“The leader of the Ohakpa faction. When the Hyungsan faction joined the Ohakpa faction, didn’t you say that the autonomy of the Hyungsan faction would be guaranteed?”

“I’m sorry. I’d like to do that too, but the order has been given to send all living prisoners from Kunlun to Kunlun, and the Martial Arts Leader has accepted it.”

Surprisingly, both of them seem to have a strong dislike for Taoists.

It’s not that I don’t know him, but it’s unpleasant to know that something other than a person is controlling you.

“How come the gods are so involved in human affairs… … ”

“What can I do? But if there were no gods, it would have been difficult to take over Cheonma Shingyo. You didn’t see the end of Cheonma yourself, did you?”

Oh oh.

I think the man named O-Ak-Pa Bu-Myeong-Ju was there when Cheon-Ma died.

Well, this distinctive hair color is exactly the same, so if you were to kill a harvester there or see one being killed, you would be able to tell them apart right away.

So you got caught.

“I caught a glimpse of the martial arts that the elder was talking about. I understood why Oh Myeongseong had such a fit when he was possessed by the demonic energy. It was truly an amazing martial arts.”

The man who said that glared at me.

“So if there is anyone who has even a little bit of magic, we must eliminate that sprout. No one should ever use magic again.”

The leader of the O-ak-pa faction ordered someone to take me away.

The men who rushed in subdued me and tied me up tightly with rope.

This isn’t bad as it is.

You don’t have to walk far, you can just give me a ride there.

First of all, I don’t think I can get there properly.

“And I have to take care of this properly.”

When I fell, the Makyabogeom was thrown out from my waist. The leader of the Oakpa caught it and lifted it.

I’m good at reading people’s facial expressions.

Countless memories, especially those of those who have experienced the worst, can instantly recognize the expressions of people with bad intentions.

Because that’s the face that comes to mind when you’re in despair.

yes.

I’m buzzing with desire.

The gap in technological capabilities.

If you have the opportunity to have something better, why not take it?

But the unfortunate thing is that there is a high possibility that I will become someone who did not exist along the way.

Even if it wasn’t the Murim Alliance, there’s no way someone in the position of vice-leader of a huge group under its command wouldn’t know that they had extracted various information from the person who entered Kunlun.

The last moments of Joo-Woo Jo and Byeong-Il. I saw the people around them through their light.

There were people there who were seeing memories extracted from their souls through something like a hologram.

Not everyone in the place was a sage or a Taoist priest, because there were people who were amazed by the technology.

It seems like this person wasn’t around at the time, but it’s hard to keep such a story to yourself.

Still, I quietly got dragged away, hoping that they would let me off somewhere as close as possible.

As I was dragging myself along the floor, Yoo Dae-jung looked at me with a gloomy face and muttered.

“I’m sorry.”

What are you sorry about?

Feeling guilty in a situation where it’s almost certain that he’s a criminal. I really like people.

I’m not a person who will become great.

“Let’s do some menial work in the mountains.”

He looked very hurt by my words.

No, I didn’t mean to make you feel sick.

I said that because there are a lot of people here, so it sounds like that.

If you look at the vice-chairman, it’s hard for such good things to happen.

At least until we get to Kunlun, it’s better for good people to stay in good condition.

The people I consider to be of sufficient use are those who are true to their own desires.

But for those who have a clear goal, it’s a bit tricky.

I like people who are a little more willing and willing to compromise. People who can’t do anything too terrible for their own benefit, but can easily ignore trivial things.

Exactly that much.

I was put in a broken down carriage. If you look around, there are quite a few people who look like that.

Rattling.

The carriage is moving.

If we go like this, how long will it take to get to Kunlun?

I am taking a leisurely rest in the carriage.
