*** ***

Teuong!

The ax sinks into the tree with a cool sound.

I’m saying that, but actually it wasn’t cool at all. Because I was swinging the ax with complete lack of internal strength.

What should I hide?

Currently, I was working undercover as a lumberjack after changing my face using the arcane reversal technique I learned at the imperial court.

“Hey, let’s eat and eat!”

“I understand!”

To the shouts of other loggers, my gunner, Park Dal, answered loudly and placed his logging ax on the ground.

“Gasena.”

“Yep!”

When I entered the lumber mill, pretending to be a rookie with a lot of useless motivation, I saw loggers sitting in the shade huddled together in the shade, crying out loud as they cut down trees to die in the scorching sun.

“Oh my, I’m dying.”

“If I just rest and then work hard, my body can’t stand it.”

Although cries were coming out of the loggers’ mouths, their expressions were bright.

After the power of the blood religion rose, places such as forests and mountains with few people became the same as being banned. Because it has become a den of blood people who lust for human blood and Safa who hang out with such blood people without hesitation.

Naturally, the woodcutters who make a living by cutting down trees in the forests and mountains have not been able to make a proper living until now, and only recently have the remnants of the spirit and blood cults that were rampaging in Gwangju been wiped out and they have barely been able to return to their jobs. Even though their bodies are tired, their expressions are good. had no choice but to be bright.

The conversation among the woodcutters who gathered together to eat was definitely a rumor about Moorim.

“I heard that a spirit appeared in that heavenly prison the day before yesterday?”

“Hey, that’s a rumor! When nearby drones were dispatched, it was just a large bear.”

“They say they caught a bloodthirsty person at Sosangmun!”

Well, more accurately, it should be said that it is the movement of the remnants of a blood cult rather than a rumor about the martial arts group. For loggers who do not know how to use martial arts, their lives would be in danger if they encountered even a single blooded person in the forest or mountain.

After the latest rumor was over, of course it was the rumor about Moorim.

“I heard that Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon is spending time in the central plains… I hope it is not a sign of an invasion of the central plains.”

“I heard that Noegeomnang also stopped by Dongdong Lake and enjoyed the scenery?”

“As far as I know, they suddenly caught the governor.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

“Oh my, you guys don’t sound like idiots.”

I slipped into the group of loggers talking next to me. Ignoring the gazes of the loggers who were looking at me as if I was wondering what this guy was doing, I immediately opened my mouth.

It was only natural that I subtly raised my voice so that my words could be heard by the loggers who were chatting and eating in the restaurant attached to the lumber mill.

“What do you mean, the governor was harassing a certain merchant, and why did Noegeomnangin happen to be there?”

The person who responded was not the person next to me, but someone sitting at the table in the back row.

“No, is that true?”

“Of course! So, it is said that Noegeomnangin, who was angry at the governor’s abuse of power, went into the government office with a secret royal inspector and beat up all the government officials!”

“Oh my god! I can’t believe there’s still a guy like that left in the Great Hwang Heaven!”

“They committed such evil acts that their treasury was full of wealth and books containing bribery ledgers were piled as high as a person!”

“Those people who will tear you to death!”

“The governor revealed the crimes of the governor and the inspectors in detail, so the governor was imprisoned and the inspectors were all struck down with iron!”

“Damn you guys! How hard was it for our people because of the blood religion, but these guys who are just brats are doing things like that through their backs!”

“These guys look great!”

The restaurant quickly turned into a place to criticize the mainstream. It felt like each person’s conversation had shifted to the latest news about me that I had just told them.

As I surveyed the atmosphere, I turned my attention to Bakdal, who was eating in front of me. The latest news about Tamgwan Ori and Moorim’s hot potato, Noegeomnangin, was a very interesting topic, but there was no reaction.

“Are you the type of person who is not interested in rumors about Moorim?”

“Hmm? No, I am also interested in Moorim. I guess I’ve just heard too many stories about the Blood Bridge and the Mosan War recently. Something like that.”

He seemed to have lost interest in the news about me. I felt like I wouldn’t be particularly interested in news about blood cults or spirits if it didn’t affect my own safety.

It wasn’t just my gunner, Park Dal, who displayed such an attitude. Roughly half of the people were indifferent to the latest news and were on the sidelines.

In that sense, the atmosphere of this lumber mill could be said to be split in half. There are those who criticize the clan religion or actively rejoice at the disappearance of such clan religion and regard the Noegeomnangin as heroes, and those who, like my archers, are not particularly interested in it.

What were the thoughts of the loggers whose livelihoods and lives were threatened by the rebellion of a blood cult?

Naturally, he would have hoped that the warriors and sects of the area where he was staying, or the Murim League, an alliance of such sects, would defeat the blood religion.

Such expectations would naturally have grown as the blood religion’s activities became longer and gradually became concrete as they listened to the activities of the Murim Alliance.

As Safa and thieves, who were nothing more than evil to the world, sided with the blood religion, the structure of good and evil became clearer, and the tension and sense of crisis gradually increased.

While I was anxious, thinking that the bomb might explode at any moment, the Heavenly Demon Church suddenly appeared in the world.

It was like an insult to the people of the world who had been desperately waiting for the blood religion to disappear and peace to come.

Now that that vicious group of demons has advanced to the central plains, how much chaos the world will be in! Blood religion, Murim Alliance, and Heavenly Demon Church. Wouldn’t the world’s people have been literally on the verge of losing their breath due to the sudden three-way structure between the great powers?

At that time, people would have desperately wanted it.

Please become the heroes of Murim! I hope the clans full of agreement will protect us!

Considering the geographical characteristics, the most famous martial arts force in this area was the Peng family, so the loggers here probably desperately hoped that the Taoists of the Hubei Peng family would refine their true methods, defeat the spirits, and eliminate the forces of the blood religion.

If not, they would have hoped that a god would appear in the martial arts world and save them.

But why?

It is said that the Great War of Mosan suddenly broke out and the blood religion was disintegrated.

That too, thanks to the power of the Heavenly Demon God Cult, which was considered to be a new great evil targeting the world, and the Thunder Swordsman, who was unknown whether he was a charlatan or an agent of the Blood Cult.

These are the sects that are at odds with the blood religion. The Church of Heavenly Demon, led by Noegeomnangin. Political factions gathered under the banner of the Murim League.

It would have been a disconcerting ending for those in the world who had no doubt that the world would be divided into three and an unprecedented turbulence would unfold.

It was a good thing that we were free from the threat of the Blood Cult and the Heavenly Demon Cult.

This is not the ending I wanted!

After the threat of the blood cult was over, it was a perfect situation for this thought to enter someone’s mind.

The divinity of martial arts?

All of them were from Sacheon and one of them, Noegeomnangin, who was considered the key figure, was not the image of a traditional charlatan that everyone would like.

Isn’t there a rumor that the guy who took off his black lip and went back to being just a ronin was actually pretending to be a ronin of Sacheon? Isn’t there a rumor that he scolded Jeongcheol after the end with Jeongcheol? Isn’t his martial arts growing so suspiciously? It turns out that he is also a member of the blood religion. Are you saying it’s blood? He was also very close to the Heavenly Demon God Church, a demon group.

And more than anything, I was the one who made his heart pound by directing the Heavenly Demon Church’s conquest of the central plains.

In the end, he defeated the blood religion, but since he was the one who gave him sick and medicine, he wouldn’t be able to praise him comfortably.

This is not the charlatan I wanted!

So it wasn’t strange for someone to think that way. No, it’s not just someone, but quite a few people praise me as a hero and probably judge me that way.

These were the loggers and my gunners who showed little interest in the latest news about the human body.

and.

“But brother, is that rumor true?”

Those people were the reason I infiltrated here and the people I was working on.

“What kind of rumor is this?”

“The rumor about Geummyeongwol Sojeo.”

“…Golden month?”

“Yes. This is the mysterious female expert Geum Myeong-wol who played an active part in the Mosan Daejeon with that Noegeomnangin.”

When I told him that he had to know about the rumor, Park Dal furrowed his brows as if he felt some reluctance. When I read Park Dal’s expression, I widened my eyes, pretending to be surprised.

“Didn’t you know? I heard a rumor that Sojeo Geum Myeong-wol is from Suhyeon right here?”

“Huh…?”

Park Dal asked back, saying it was his first time hearing this.

“No, are you sure that’s true?”

The response came not from my shooter, but from the side. Someone like Park Dal, who seemed uninterested in my rumors, suddenly took the bait.

“I heard that Geum Myeongwol Sojeo was a disciple of the one-man tradition sect in Mt. Mugyeong, right?”

Another person joined in, making a fuss.

“No. If it’s Mt. Mugyeong, it’s perfect! Isn’t it near where you live? Is what he said true?”

As the lumberjacks’ eyes suddenly gathered, Park Dal opened his mouth with an embarrassed expression.

“Well…how can I know the circumstances of the martial arts people? But…it is true that there was a young female student who lived on Mt. Mugyeong.”

“Looks like the rumors are true!”

The loggers immediately became excited by Park Dal’s testimony.

Geum Myeong-wol, one of Noegeomnangin’s party.

Based on the eyewitness accounts of those who participated in the Murim League, he is only presumed to be relatively young and has reached the state of martial arts. He is a mysterious person who does not even have a special title, let alone a martial arts skill!

Does that mean Geum Myeong-wol is from your area?

It was a topic that sparked interest that had never existed before.

“But if such a master had lived, wouldn’t the rumor have started a long time ago?”

“Hey, look at this guy. Isn’t the world wide and there are hidden people everywhere?”

“Well, is that so…?”

“Draw! Didn’t you say you saw Park Dal over there!”

“No…”

The theory that Geum Myeong-wol is from Suhyeon is becoming a fait accompli in real time. Park Dal, who was unintentionally chosen as a witness even though it was not a clearly proven fact, urgently tried to open his mouth, but I was the first to cover him.

“Kya! I thought so too! Is there a law that says there can only be people in Sacheon? It is time for a person who can represent Hubuk, or even the entire martial arts world, to emerge from our Suhyeon!”

A local assistant referee is added to the embers that are just starting to bloom!

The loggers’ response continued, burning brightly in an instant like a fire filled with oil.

“ That is correct. Isn’t Sojeo Geum Myeong-wol a true charlatan! Even though he saved the world, the sight of him hiding himself without coveting even an ounce of fame is truly Myeongwol! Isn’t this the shape of the moon that gently brightens the world?”

“You! You are only saying the truth!”

“Geummyeongwol Daehyup is the true divinity of Mosan Daejeon!”

The lumber yard turned into a crucible of frenzy with just a few instigations from me! The meal has already been put aside and only those who chant Geummyeongwol’s name remain.

“The pride of Shanxi! Geum Myeong-wol Daehyup from Suhyeon!”

“Let’s see! Since he is a hermit of Mount Mugyeong, why not call him a hermit of Mugyeong?”

“Uh-huh! What a terrible name for you to be a hermit to the female cooperative!”

Now it looks like they are even starting to produce hand-made Byeol-ho. I don’t know, but starting from this lumberyard today, a new nickname for Geummyeongwol will be born in Hubei, and that nickname will quickly spread throughout Hubuk.

In the process, there would be rumors about whether Geum Myeong-wol really lived on Mt. Mugyeong or not, but it probably wouldn’t be a problem.

The rumor about Geum Myeong-wol that I spread was not a lie, but rather a cover-up of the name Geum Myeong-wol on the actual person that Wolbokdang had investigated.

As Park Dal said, it is true that a woman with a similar body type as Hyeok Gi-rin trained in Mt. Mugyeong, and it is also true that such a woman disappeared from Mt. Mugyeong after the Hyeokgyo rebellion occurred, so it will not be easy to determine whether it is true or not.

By the time we can completely determine whether it is true or false, Geum Myeong-wol will have a new star title and will be well-liked by the people of Hubei.

“A woman who has passed the border without any qualifications! What about Mugyeongwolnyeo?”

“That’s the only thing that’s better!”

“Hahaha! It’s a stylish nickname that our Soohyun is proud of!”

`

The loggers are already showing proud expressions, no matter how long ago they heard the rumor.

In their minds, it seemed that Geum Myeong-wol had already become an unquestionable Hubei citizen.

“I wonder how people in the world will react when they hear that Geum Myeongwol Daehyeop is from Hubei!”

The loggers are already excited to boast to the people of other regions that Geum Myeong-wol, the woman from Hubei, is from Hubuk.

But unfortunately, the loggers would not receive the envious looks of people from other regions as expected now.

Right now at this moment.

The alumni organization members who received the information from Wolbokdang will be spreading the rumor all over the country, ‘Geum Myeong-wol is from my area!’

Operation Phase 1.

It was the beginning of the making of Geummyeongwol, the princess samurai of our local Homhohyeopgaek.
