“Minho’s death penalty! Do you know of Heuksi (black city)?”
These are the words spoken by the guy who ran in a hurry.
It was an uncharacteristically polite tone of voice. A tone that seems too old to be used at Baek Geon’s age.
This guy didn’t receive any special etiquette training, but he corrected his nickname on his own.
Perhaps, after seeing Namgung Hwa-ran and I being taught by Namgung Mu, I think I fixed myself before my teacher Namgung Hyeon broke my head. It was a huge improvement compared to the previous attitude.
‘I am Baek Geon’s executioner and the son-in-law of the Namgung family. Until now, just calling you by your first name was very informal.’
I nodded inwardly.
The problem was that, perhaps because he was showing off, he even spoke to me in a childlike tone.
It would be better not to use such awkward language.
“Just be respectful, or rather speak comfortably as before. I’ve been wondering how long you can say that, but it doesn’t suit me at all.”
“Oh, is that so? If Minho’s brother-in-law says so, let’s take it easy.”
A guy who talks quickly. Although it was an absurd reaction, it was fortunate that it was now called a death penalty.
Still, he was a pretty good-looking guy, so people around him seemed to view his behavior favorably.
‘Anyway, the thief is quick-witted.’
Originally, the protagonist of a work like this was supposed to be educated by a teacher, but Baek Geon was growing up to be very handsome for an orphan from a back alley.
My eyes looked at the calluses on his body and hands.
Still, he hasn’t been idle for months while I’ve been training, so it’s clear that he’s trained well.
Even though he is the youngest, he has recently officially entered the Cheonpung Sword Corps. Although not as much as me, it was proof that he too was a late-stage index receiving the family’s attention. It was said that he had recently reached the top level, so it could be seen that he had now become a full-fledged martial artist.
‘By the way, dark poetry?’
I have a rough guess, but for the first time in a while, I called up the guidebook and asked for an explanation.
[The black poetry in Tuseonhyeophaengrok refers to the black market.]
Black market!
In reality, this market, also called a black market, was mainly created to trade illegal goods or avoid taxes. Some people sometimes say that it straddles the border between illegal and legal in order to portray the black market in a positive light, but in the first place, it was born. It was just considered illegal.
Of course, the severity of breaking the law varies depending on the product being handled.
It would be no different even if it was a record of the two-sun cooperation.
No, on the contrary, since it is a world where martial arts and spirit creatures exist, there was a possibility that it was even more bizarre than reality.
Baek Geon was now asking about the black market.
“Dark vision? know. Why are you suddenly asking that?”
“As expected, there is a lot to know about the death penalty. I thought I just practiced every day, but where did I learn that?”
Baek Geon, who was impressed, continued speaking.
“No different. I heard from my senior swordsmen that there was a black poetry opening in Bongyang. But isn’t there a lot of treasure in the dark poetry that people don’t recognize? So I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go on a field trip together sometime… ”
‘This bastard… ?’
I was wondering if he was training well, but I was worried that he might be a kleptomaniac. After listening to the swordsman’s story, he seemed to have turned his attention to the story of the treasure.
It was outrageous, but it was something I had to understand since I didn’t make him a priest without knowing he was like this.
I clicked my tongue and said regretfully.
“Tsk tsk, this guy who doesn’t know anything about the world is blinded by treasure… ”
“No, why?!”
Baek Geon, who was suddenly criticized, also jumped up in embarrassment. Namgung Hwaran was smiling slightly next to us as if she thought we were cute.
“Black market is basically a market for trading goods that cannot be sold openly. Even if the treasure in such a place is said to be stolen goods or looted goods with someone’s blood on them. Not only are they trading in drugs, poisons, and other items that are prohibited from being traded, but there may also be things like dark spots that we have only heard about.”
“Sunspot!”
Namgung Hwaran, who was listening to Baek Geon’s conversation from the side, shouted softly.
Baekgeon was tilting his head at the word ‘sunspot’, and it seemed like she had heard of it before.
“What on earth are sunspots? ”
Black Spot is a store commonly known as a store that sells human flesh. There’s always a ghost story that goes around saying that if you don’t enter and enter the password, you will be turned into human flesh and sold.
I once saw it on a TV program, and it was introduced that there was a record of it actually existing in China until modern times in real life. Of course, since it was a program that featured various ghost stories, its credibility was low.
In any case, it was an element that had a good chance of existing in this martial world.
In fact, haven’t I witnessed with my own eyes a magician who rips out a person’s heart and eats it? I remember that it was called the Blood Heart Demon Blood Team. Even now, that magic secret was still sleeping in my inventory.
After hearing my explanation, Baek Geon was shocked and shouted.
“ eats human flesh! Are there people who would commit such extraordinary feats? ! Well, then can we say that the guest house we stopped by on our first outing was also a black spot?!”
“Hmm?”
“That’s the inn that was occupied by bandits. They fed acid poison to our Cheonpunggeomdae members and attacked them… ”
“Ah, there.”
It seemed like he was referring to the guest room where he fought the bandits before Tuma suddenly appeared through the ceiling.
“Well, I don’t think they were the ones who ate human flesh… From the customer’s perspective, there won’t be much difference. It’s a dangerous store where you could die if you encounter it. They’re a little different because they’re lurking for us, but it’s true that they’re people we’ll just kill.”
“Then I guess it would be impossible to watch the black poem… ”
Baek Geon drooped his shoulders with a sullen expression. He came excited when he heard that it was a treasure, but when I completely shattered his illusions, he seemed to have lost all energy.
I said, shaking my head.
“When did I tell you not to go? Let’s go.”
“No, so far they’ve only said negative things… ”
Baek Geon muttered in confusion.
The Tuseonhyeophaengrok world is a place where you can build a foundation for steady growth and obtain various items such as Buddhist scriptures or elixirs. And the fact that the main character, Baek Geon, is a thief means that there is a lot to steal in the world.
That’s natural. The story will only progress if the main character has a lot of treasure to steal.
If the protagonist asked for a clue like this, it would mean that there is at least one treasure worth salvaging even in the dark city of Bongyang.
I answered shamelessly.
“I know what actually exists in black poetry. He seemed very excited, so I told him to come to his senses. I don’t think it would be a bad idea to go for experience.”
“Minho Isn’t the death penalty too much of a hardship on me? If you look at the outside, it’s rather… ”
“So you’re not going?”
“Of course I have to go!”
When I gently shook the fishing rod, Baek Geon took a quick bite of the bait.
Baek Geon was scared that black poetry was illegal, but once people knew that it was a law, it was a lax law and there was a possibility that it would be okay if they didn’t get caught, or even if they were caught, the customer wouldn’t have a problem.
‘Even if you download pornography circulating on the Internet, only the uploader is punished, not the downloader, and things like tattoos that are done secretly are the same.’
Based on Korea’s standards, wouldn’t such things be considered black markets in a broad sense?
I couldn’t know the dark side of Tuseonhyuphaengrok until I looked at it myself.
And if a problem arises, you can point to the background of the Namgung family. The Namgung family is a noble family that rules almost like a king in Anhui Province. Unless the imperial palace is given an opportunity to intervene, most of the faults can be simply crushed.
Of course, if you hurt the family’s face like a fool, your family’s reputation will plummet.
‘The setting of non-aggression on government affairs is very convenient in times like this. ‘The martial people don’t care what happens in their area.’
The only thing I said to Baek Geon was to calm him down a little because he was so excited that he would run around and cause trouble and it would be annoying. Baekgeon was still barely top-notch, so it was my job as a peak expert to resolve any problems that arose.
Baek Geon asked with a look of great anticipation.
“Then when shall we leave?”
“First, I have to tell the matriarch and teacher. Of course, except for the story about going to the Black Sea. I could take a few members of the Heavenly Wind Sword, including you, as an escort.”
Although there was a fight against the Demonic Cult, he quietly devoted himself to training within the royal family for half a year, so it seemed like he could get permission to visit Bongyang, also located in Anhui Province.
At that time, Namgung Hwaran, who was quietly listening to the story next to him, opened his mouth.
“Commercial, you said that among the products handled at that place called Heuksi are medicine, right?”
“Isn’t that right? Do you have any medicine that your wife needs?”
I asked just in case, but deep down I thought it couldn’t be possible. It was as if her constitution had been corrected by being around me every day, and if she needed medicine, all she had to do was tell the elders of the family.
There is no reason to look for medicine in Heuksi.
But that prediction was spectacularly wrong.
“Heuksi sells all kinds of strange items, so I wonder if there are any medicine or tools that can help with conceiving… ”
“Well, then I’ll go and tell the story to my seniors!”
Baek Geon, who was quick to notice, bowed his head to Namgung Hwaran and ran out of the training hall. He must have been practicing the Gyeongshinbeop diligently, so he disappeared from sight in an instant.
I barely made eye contact with Namgung Hwaran’s eyes sparkling with anticipation and spoke.
“Cha, if you look for it, won’t there be a way somewhere? Don’t worry too much, ma’am.”
