*** ***

A journey that started as if pushed by Wei Seo-ryeon’s chaegeun.

We set off without deciding anything, but in fact, the place we could go was already fixed.

The fact that the movement of the Church of the Heavenly Demon seemed to be aiming for the world was clearly a stepping stone for the Mosan War, but many people still have not resolved their doubts about the Church of the Heavenly Demon’s actions.

The political factions in Sichuan would not want to make hasty contact until public opinion on the Heavenly Demon Church converges.

In such a situation, walking around the gambling hall with Wei Seo-ryeon spraying out black dragon flags is not a good option.

A political faction in Sacheon with an appropriate reason to visit.

And where you can gamble.

There was only one place in Sacheon that could satisfy these two conditions.

It was the party song.

After greeting the head of the Dang family with Socheonma, no sooner had they settled down in the guesthouse than Dang Do-yeon snorted and left to repair the Bicheon carriage, and of course, Dang So-yeol, who became Dongtae’s eyeball, followed behind her.

“Sisters~!!”

“Aaaah! Let’s go! How did it get so big!!”

“You have become a complete lady.”

And Ryeo, who had grown rapidly, came to the guesthouse. Seeing that he was now closer to a girl than a child, Black Cat and Yeo Il-ye made a fuss, and Ryo-ah screamed in joy when she saw Seo-gong being held by Hyuk-ki-rin, and the party members who saw Ryo-ah for the first time made a loud noise.

The women, who had been cackling with each other for a while, soon stood up.

“Sisters! I’ll show you the price!”

“Senior! I’ll go out for a while!”

“Uh, yes.”

Unlike Dang Do-yeon and Dang So-yeol, who abandoned the guests and disappeared as soon as they arrived at Dangga, there is no need to worry because she is a steady person.

I looked at the group rushing out and then looked to the side. Wei Seo-ryeon was standing there, nodding her head at the black cat’s hand greeting.

“Is it okay if I don’t go with you? This would be an opportunity to look around Dangga.”

“If that were the case, it would have put a lot of pressure on the child named Ryeo.”

“Um.”

For a moment, I couldn’t find anything to say about this undeniable fact. Well, it’s clear that the pressure of the Black Dragon is not normal. It wouldn’t be strange for an average person to run away or scream just by coming face to face with Wei Seo-ryeon.

I thought it was a very cautious topic, but Wei Seo-ryeon opened her mouth without hesitation, as always.

“You should take the time to get used to it, at least several times. Once you get used to it to a certain extent, wouldn’t it be okay to be guided to the party song?”

“I see.”

It bothered me to see Wei Seo-ryeon alone among the group, and I thought about helping her, but it seemed like she didn’t need my help.

Does this mean that Cheonma has her own way of getting to know people?

When I thought about the fact that Wi Ji-cheon came to the campsite to thank me for being my daughter’s friend, I thought it was really groundless confidence… but I decided to just respect it.

Wei Seo-ryeon will see the world and make friends in her own way.

In the process, it may roll or break, but it may also get better.

There is nothing special about it.

Because that’s the law of martial arts first-chul.

All I have to do is to prevent Wei Seo-ryeon’s mistake from turning into a harsh situation that cannot be undone just because he is a minor enemy.

Well, judging from our conversation so far, it seems like Wei Seo-ryeon is planning on taking a good rest for the next few days, so I guess I’ll take care of my own business today as well.

“Then, I will also leave for a while. I have something to discuss with the party regarding the remnants of the blood religion.”

Although the stronghold of the Blood Cult has been destroyed, the spirits and remnants under the control of the Blood Cult are still powerful throughout the world.

And the item that could sort out the situation at once was in my hands, or more precisely, in the luggage compartment of the raincoat.

The item was an amulet made by Cho Jin-hwi, the master of the Mosan faction.

The reason all spirit creatures follow the instructions of the blood religion is because they are all caught in the blood zone’s magic and the blood zone recognizes them as their own kin. Spiritual creatures are a type of mutation, and spirit creatures that have lived alone for hundreds of years cannot ignore the wishes of their blood relatives, whom they have barely met, and follow them.

The amulet made by Jo Jin-hwi was an object that informed such spirits of the death of blood relatives.

How will the spirits who have confirmed the death of their blood relatives act?

The answer was already revealed through the Mosan Daejeon.

Among the spirits that confirmed the death of the blood lord, there were some that chose to fight, but except for two, the rest chose to flee. Considering that the battle was in full swing at the time, it was highly likely that the spirit creatures that had spread throughout the world would return to their original lives rather than go on a rampage.

Regardless of how the spirit creatures behave, the remnants of the blood religion will no longer be able to manipulate spirit creatures, so the remnants of the blood religion that have spread throughout the world will be quickly eliminated.

Well, the decision on whether or not to use the amulet provided by the Mosan faction will be made by the Murim Alliance, but realistically, there is no need to worry as there is no choice but to use the amulet.

You may refuse to use the amulet for the sake of the status of the Meng, the status of each sect, or because you do not want to receive help from the traitorous Mosan faction, but there is nothing left even if you are stubborn.

Even if we could eradicate the remnants of the blood religion and the spirits on our own, it would not be possible right now. Even if the remnants of the Blood Cult and their spirits were defeated after a long period of preparation, it would only be a bad comparison since the remnants of the Blood Cult would have been wiped out long ago in other areas where talismans were already used.

And from the perspective of the Murim Alliance, it would be difficult to make a decision to leave the spirits caught in the spell for a long time.

The reason is because I exist.

Just as Seogong followed me, there was no possibility that other spirit creatures would follow me.

Is Hocheonan, the brain sword holder, really an ally of the Murim League?

Although I cooperated with the leader behind the scenes in many ways, I have no contact with most of the Murimmaeng faction.

From their perspective, I was once suspected of being a member of the Blood Cult, and I was an ambiguous person who held the strange title of a saint of the Heavenly Demon Religion, and was truly difficult to define. Therefore, the members of the Murim League had no choice but to give an ambiguous expression to this question.

So, from their point of view, they would rather quickly break the spirit of the spirit than leave the possibility of me reaping the spirit.

Well, no matter what conclusion the Murim League comes to, news about the amulet needs to be delivered quickly, so I plan to deliver the information through Dangga.

“Hmm. Is that the talisman thing? If so, it will take a long time.”

“Yes. Well, I have to include an explanation, so it will probably be long.”

“Yes, I understand. Please come back.”

“Then I will go.”

Wi Seo-ryeon, who saw me off so calmly.

And when I came back after explaining all the amulets and taking care of things with Lord Dangga.

Wei Seo-ryeon had disappeared from the guesthouse.

*** ***

Danga gambling house.

Buzz!

At the Tangga gambling hall, more people gathered than at any other time in history to gamble against each other using memorization and poison pots.

It was a situation where not only the direct lineage but also the collateral lineage, which consumed a lot of poison and memorization, were crowded, and this was the result of several factors coming together.

A blood religion that came into prominence following the appearance of Jeong Cheol. In a situation where the facilities to manufacture memorization and poison had to be rebuilt, even blood religion appeared. The Tang family, which did not have a Jinbeopdae, was not a priority target of the Blood Cult, but there were many conflicts with the Sa Sect thugs and blood people who believed in the Blood Cult and ran rampant, so the use of the Tang Family’s memorization was bound to increase dramatically.

Although the conflict with the clans came to an end due to the Mosan War, the empty memorization box and the thin poison pouch did not become full again, and the gambling halls were filled with people who wanted to fill the empty pockets.

Mr. Dang, who came to the gambling house because he wanted to acquire or practice what he learned in practice, but had no memorization, Mr. Dang, who was psychologically uncomfortable in a situation where his poison or memorization pocket was empty, or even Mr. Dang, who returned to the gambling house that he had naturally stopped visiting during a long period of tension. There was a crowd of people.

Shake!

The door of such a gambling house opens with force and an eerie energy comes in!

There was no one in the hall who was not an expert, so everyone looked at the door of the gambling hall in shock.

“Hmm. This place…”

There, Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon was inspecting the gambling house.

The party members gathered at the gambling hall could not hide their embarrassment at the sudden appearance of Socheonma Wiseoryeon.

None of the Tang clans knew that Ho Cheon-an and his party, the noble swordsmen, and Wi Seo-ryeon, the Socheonma, had visited the Tang family, but no one had thought that they would encounter Wei Seo-ryeon at the gambling house.

One of the Tang clan members closest to him hesitated and spoke to Wei Xulian.

“Socheonma, what brought you here?”

“I came here because I heard there was a place where Tang family leaders gambled.”

A rumor arose in the minds of the Tang clan that Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon enjoyed dice gambling even during banquets. I thought it was just a way to get to know the Safa people, but it seems that Socheonma was someone who enjoyed gambling.

Did they come to see the gambling house, or did they come to watch the people of the Tang family gamble?

“Is it also the price? At first glance, there are plenty of people who can compete.”

However, the words that came out of Wei Seo-ryeon’s mouth were different from what the Tang family had guessed.

The feeling of being ready to jump into the gambling game at any moment. Seeing such false accusations, the Tang clans exchanged puzzled looks.

Suddenly I have to gamble with Socheonma? It was quite a burdensome task for the party members.

Anyway, Socheonma is the distinguished guest of this party. This was because, according to the social norms of the Central Plains, it was not at all a befitting treatment for a VIP to have him sit at such a gambling table.

Even if there was gambling with Socheonma, it would have been right for someone from the party to go to the guest house where Socheonma stayed and ask for a gamble, or to set up a formal event to see the match.

After thinking of such thoughts, the Tang clan exchanged glances and agreed to ask So Cheon-ma’s understanding for now.

“Mmm. I’m sorry to Socheonma, but there are rules in this Danga gambling house.”

“What rule do you mean?”

“The reason gambling takes place here is to determine the owner of the poison and memorization produced in the Tang family. Of course, in order to participate in the game, you need to read and memorize the song. So…”

“Ah, is this what you mean?”

Mr. Dang, who was about to say, ‘So, if you want to enjoy gambling, I will arrange a place for you later,’ opened his eyes wide when he saw the memorization box that Wei Seo-ryeon took out from her pocket.

An advanced memorization box with the Tang family’s vision symbol drawn on it!

Why is the advanced memorization box, a collection of Tang family memorization techniques that should never fall into the hands of others, in the hands of the author?

“Where did you get that from?”

“When I told him I was going to a gambling place, he gave me a fever.”

Holy crap.

The party members, who could not bear to swear in front of Socheonma, cursed the party members in their hearts. You… just gave it to me? Are you sane?

The Tang family members who reflexively thought of such thoughts slapped their foreheads and sighed when they remembered that Tang Xiaoyeol was not in his right mind in the first place.

In this way, it became a situation where there was no choice but to gamble with Wei Seo-ryeon in order to retrieve the memorization of the Tang song.

“Okay, who is going to be my opponent?”

Seeing Wei Seo-ryeon swinging his memorization box triumphantly, the Tang clan had no choice but to elect someone to deal with Wei Seo-ryeon.

*** ***

“Are you my partner?”

“…It is called carrot. He is the same age as the party leader.”

Carrot, pushed by the logic that the accident caused by Tang So-yeol should be resolved by a peer of the same age, became Wi Seo-ryeon’s gambling partner. Now that he was satisfied with the task of resolving the accident caused by Tang So-yeol, he immediately sat down at the gambling table.

“Since this is a game that depends on memorizing the party’s secrets, you will never be able to deal with it vainly. Be prepared.”

A smile appeared on Wei Seo-ryeon’s lips as he heard Carrot’s energetic words.

“Hehehe! The sea I was hoping for! Let’s get together properly.”

The beginning was rough.

“Then.”

At the same time as the words announcing the start, the carrot’s arm moved.

The movement of that arm is truly fast and accurate. Even though the glass was mixed at an unusual speed, the collision of the dice did not leak out of the glass, and Wei Seo-ryeon was amazed as she followed the movement of the glass.

As expected, it’s a hit!

His skills were extraordinary, starting with the basic mixing of glasses.

While Wi Seo-ryeon was admiring Carrot’s skill in mixing the glass, Carrot also watched Wi Seo-ryun’s reaction. To be more precise, we looked at Wei Seo-ryeon’s subtle eye movements.

‘You don’t have much practical experience.’

Carrot thought so as he looked at Wei Seo-ryeon’s eyes as they followed the movement of the dice.

Wei Seo-ryeon was clearly a skilled gambler.

Even though she was using techniques and mixing the glasses, Wei Seo-ryeon’s gaze did not leave the glass containing the dice.

However, the gaze that continued to follow Carrot felt like evidence of immaturity.

He would have been able to see through the technique and wouldn’t have made it obvious even if he knew which cup the dice were in.

Faba Park!

‘I guess I’ll have to finish it quickly.’

Carrot’s movements became faster in an instant. Carrot, who was dragged into the gambling table simply because he was born in the same year as Dang Do-yeon, had no intention of prolonging the game.

widely!

Carrot, who captured the moment when Wi Seo-ryeon lost track of the flow, placed the glass accurately.

“Hmm. It is on the left.”

Carrot raised the right glass without saying a word. Wei Seo-ryeon nodded at the dice seen in the glass and held out one of the fifty home appliances.

“Then I will go now.”

The moves were exchanged and Wei Seo-ryeon grabbed the glass. The party members swallowed their saliva out of tension as they watched Wei Seo-ryeon begin to mix the glasses.

It has been confirmed that Carrot’s ability to mix glasses is superior to Wi Seo-ryeon’s sharp eyes. So, what are Wi Seo-ryeon’s glass mixing skills like?

Pabababak!

The party members opened their eyes and vigorously chased the mixing glass together. As Wei Seo-ryeon’s skills were evident at first glance, there was tension in the hall.

Soon, little by little, the tension disappeared.

Pabababak!!

Although Wi Seo-ryeon’s skills were shameless as a gambler, he judged that they were not at a level that could fool Carrot’s eyes.

“Center.”

“Yes.”

One of the home appliances was taken over by Carrot, and the Dang family who watched the scene felt quite relieved.

Yes, no matter how much of a troublemaker that Tang So-yeol was, he wouldn’t have passed the Party’s secret memorization without thinking! They probably did it because they thought they could all recover it from the gambling house!

As the victory and defeat became clearer as the battle went back and forth, the Tang clans left the game one by one.

It was an important task that required a secret memory, but it was also very awkward to stand and watch the guest, Wei Seo-ryeon, lose.

For a long time, I gambled on memorization as usual.

One by one, questions began to appear in the minds of the party members.

Isn’t this… isn’t it already time for the game to be decided?

When I peeked at Carrot and Wi Seo-ryeon’s plate, I saw that Wi Seo-ryeon had only about ten home appliances left. The party members who looked at the situation nodded and focused on their own game again.

However, even though quite a bit of time has passed since then, isn’t Wei Seo-ryeon still not standing up?

The Tang family was surprised when they peeked at Wei Seo-ryeon and Carrot’s plate again.

“It is on the left.”

“…Correct.”

This was because the number of household appliances in Wei Seo-ryeon had increased to twenty. The Tang family, who looked at the carrot in amazement at the sight, was surprised twice.

Carrot’s face was extremely calm when he started gambling. This was because cold sweat was flowing from the carrot’s face.

The Tang clans, who realized the seriousness of the situation, flocked to Wei Seolyeon’s gambling den again, and soon they could not help but be shocked once again.

Green onions! Pabababak! Faba Park!

Wei Seo-ryeon’s teasing is completely different from before!

The perfection of the technique was excellent, but Wei Seo-ryeon’s tricks, which were not sharp at all, became as if she were alive!

A Mr. Dang who was looking at the scene muttered unconsciously.

“Growth…?”

It was ridiculous.

A few hours at most. How can such growth be achieved with just a few hours of gambling?

“Left!”

“Wrong.”

however.

The Tang family had no choice but to accept that fact, as Wei Seo-ryeon’s skills were completely different from those of a few hours ago.

“Is this…Socheonma?”

Is this the talent of the one who carries the name Heavenly Demon? Is the Heavenly Demon a monster that achieves in just a few hours what others would have taken months or even years to achieve?

Everyone was overwhelmed by Wei Shulian’s growth and looked at Pan as if fascinated.

“As expected, it was this number.”

Everyone held their breath as they saw Wei Seo-ryeon getting stronger in real time.

“Can you accept this number?”

Everyone sighed when Carrot lowered his head, realizing that he could no longer endure the stomachache.

“…lost.”

Eventually, the winner and loser were determined, and Wi Seo-ryeon, who heard Carrot’s declaration of defeat, closed her eyes tightly and recalled the past day.

I will meet gamblers from all over the world to improve my skills and determine the winner!

It has already been several months since I left the Church of the Heavenly Demon with such grandeur. It’s been a series of days where I couldn’t even compete with small gamers, let alone a thrilling match with a truly skilled gambler, but today I finally got to experience a real match.

Have you just tasted victory?

It wasn’t.

I improved my skills and even achieved victory, so I couldn’t help but be filled with emotion even if I was the world’s greatest.

“It was a good match.”

Wei Seo-ryeon offered her own consolation to Carrot, who lowered her head, and stuffed the trophy into her arms. Wei Seo-ryeon smiled as the weight in her arms literally became heavier.

Wei Shu-lian looked around at the Tang clan, who were looking at him strangely. These people all have extraordinary skills. What will it be like to compete against them? Wei Seolyeon felt her heart pound just by imagining it.

There was an urge to start a new game right away, but Wei Seo-ryeon tried to console herself.

I’ve already exhausted a lot of my mental energy from my fight with Carrot. If you started a new gamble in this state, the odds of winning were low and it was difficult to get anything.

“I will come back tomorrow.”

So, Wei Seo-ryeon stood up with a feeling of regret.

After Wei Seo-ryeon left.

It was needless to say that the party family was in an emergency.
