Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 109 In relationships and relationships (4)

“External inspection agent (外部監察代理) special investigation head (特殊搜査院主)?”

“That’s right.”

Without realizing it, Seoryang opened his mouth and read the text written underneath the beautifully drawn orchid.

“What is it? “What is this official name that is long and complicated and yet somehow seems like it would get a lot of glare from others?”

Hu Yaosheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

“For short, it’s called special inspector.”

“It has been reduced, but the burden has doubled.”

“Just hearing the title name gives you a sense of what’s going on, right?”

“I’m so shocked and don’t understand. Why on earth are you giving me this rank? “Aren’t successor candidates not given ranks?”

The successor candidate is the highest ranking member of the Protestant Church. But that did not prove their abilities.

The reason why the successors have a high status is because they were chosen by God. They could be said to be people who were recognized as having the potential, that is, to become the strongest Protestants in the future.

That was the reason for not giving positions to the candidates. This was not only because capabilities had not been verified, but also to prevent the collapse of the organizational system.

If even one of them gets a rank, all kinds of insects greedy for power will be attracted.

“That’s why the word ‘representative’ external inspection was added. “It’s okay because it’s a temporary position.”

“It’s temporary, but isn’t having a rank even once a problem in itself?”

“why?”

“Anyway, the flies will be attracted. “It will have an impact on the succession battle, right?”

“Those with high status and power are always caught in the crosshairs. Is there anything new? “This is something that our school’s leaders go through on a daily basis.”

“The problem is my identity.”

“Well, I’m worried. Still, it doesn’t make sense to not make soybean paste because you’re afraid of maggots.”

What are you doing when you look like you’re dying of fun?

Seoliang slowly opened his eyes.

“I can’t make soybean paste because I’m afraid of maggots… This is a somewhat meaningful statement.”

“Is that so?”

“What is this sinister ominousness that seems to be particularly infested with maggots in the cabinet I will be soaking this time?”

“well? “Why do you think that?”

“Seeing our Commander-in-Chief’s wide-open face makes me just think that way. No matter how much I think about it, I feel like I’m a bait tied to a fishing hook.”

Xu Liang grumbled softly.

“It’s an order from the religious leader, so there’s nothing much to do, but I don’t want a special official position that only leads to suffering and death.”

Ho Yaoseong’s smile deepened.

Although he was laughing playfully, he was once again admiring Seoryang’s insight.

‘It’s incredibly sharp.’

This one is truly a national treasure. It is clear that he is not good at power struggles, so how can he be so sharp?

‘Is it an extension of survival instinct?’

That might be true. Just looking at what the religious leader had told him and his appearance during their first encounter, the Three Dukes had a better ability to sense danger than anyone else.

“I heard how great Confucius’ martial arts skills were. “You’ve already entered the realm of transcendence?”

“What the heck…”

“There are no experts at our school who are playing right now. Even the Archduke is still closed.

Wouldn’t the Three Dukes have shown outstanding abilities in the meantime? “Of course I have no choice but to ask you a favor.”

“This is not a request, it’s an order.”

“No matter what.”

“Sniff.”

“Speaking of which, you are truly amazing. “At that age, you have accumulated martial skills comparable to that of a high-ranking magic general.”

“You should change your mind.”

“My words don’t work for Confucius.”

Seoliang tilted his head.

“But are you talking about a hundred and eight horse leaders?”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.”

“Is that possible? ah! “Did you say you lost most of your memories from before you entered the military?”

“…Oh yes.”

I forgot for a moment. Who is talking to you right now?

Let’s not make any mistakes in front of this person. I wouldn’t dare think that I was reincarnated, but you never know.

“The White and Eight Horse Commanders are the best leaders of our school. Each and every one of them is an expert in combat. “They all belong to the Xinjiang Department.”

Xinjiangbu….

Seo-ryang recalled the organizational system of the Heavenly Demon Church in the document given by So Yeon-sim.

‘Two palaces, two divisions, three circles, four armies, five divisions, and six divisions.’

Igung refers to the demon palace and secret palace. The Demon God Palace was the residence and temple of the religious leader, and everyone in the religious religion knew about it.

However, there were very few people who really knew about the secret palace. There was a lot of speculation that it was the residence of a retired former religious leader or a place where sacred teachings were kept.

This part refers to the Military Department and the Xinjiang Department. If the military department is the head of Protestantism, the kidney department is the sword of Protestantism. Although they are independent organizations, they sometimes merge into one in times of crisis.

Samwon refers to Hwanheewon and the Senate of the Protectorate, and Sagun refers to the Four Heavenly Demon Army, the strongest military organization of Shinto religion.

Two of them are in the internal war and the other two are in the external war.

Wudan and Yudae were also divided into inner and outer divisions. The difference was that, unlike the Odan, the Army Corps was a strictly combat unit.

There were countless other organizations scattered around, but the simple organization structure was like that.

‘Then does that mean that the Xinjiang division has the largest number of experts among the Protestant organizations?’

Seo-ryang stuck out his tongue.

‘Even if I send just one kidney member, I’ll eat up a few of the Daemun faction.’

Of course, that won’t actually happen unless war breaks out.

“If there are that many masters, why don’t you choose among the hundred and eight masters?”

“They are emergency troops who never know when to rush out, and they are also the guardian demons of the Protestant religion. “It is not appropriate to come forward with something like this.”

“Tsk.”

Ho Yo-seong erased his characteristic playful expression.

“Anyway, the leader himself gave the order. “You have to leave in two days, so get ready.”

Order from the cult leader.

If you do not follow it, you will be punished immediately, even if you are a disciple.

‘Now that I think about it, that gentleman…’

I remembered what Lee Cheon-sang said the other day.

– Sooner or later, I will give you an order. I think the four of you are so hungry that you go outside to get some fresh air without even looking at it, so it’s perfect for clearing your nose.

– Just so you know.

Damn it, was he this kind of person?

‘uh? wait for a sec?’

Xiliang narrowed his eyes.

‘Blow your nose? outside?’

He opened his mouth urgently.

“Commander General. “Does this mission require me to be expelled from church?”

Ho Yo-seong said, scratching his cheek as if he was shaken.

“Isn’t it obvious? I told you I was an external inspector. “You must go outside, that is, outside the Protestant Church.”

“…!”

“Inspection within the new church is carried out by the military department with the help of the Black Bird Committee of the Criminal Justice Party. Why did the term ‘special inspector’ come about? Wearing an armband and going outside… Huh?”

“….”

“Confucius?”

“….”

“Confucius.”

“omg! “Ah, did you call me?”

“Why are you so distraught?”

Seo-ryang quickly came to his senses and shook his head.

“no. “It’s a bit scary to think about being exposed to the cold wind outside.”

“Cold wind? “It’s clear that the village at the bottom of the mountain is warmer than here.”

“That’s what it says.”

Contrary to his sour face, Seoryang’s heart was pounding like crazy.

‘Did that mean you would expel me from school? Was that something like that?!’

I really want to burst into laughter.

‘That gentleman is finally giving me a worthy gift!’

I feel that way toward the person who provided the clues that enabled the evolution of the Dark Spirit Demonic Attack into the Guyu Demonic Attack.

But right now, the little teachings that Lee Cheon-sang had given did not occur to Seoryang at all.

What filled his head was hope and joy.

‘Sis punishment! You can go out! ‘We can go out again!’

Ho Yo-seong, who was looking at Seo-ryang blankly, scratched his head.

“Anyway, what you have to do while wearing the armband of special inspector is…”

“Didn’t you bring a separate document issuing the order?”

“I brought it with me.”

“Give me that.”

“Do you mind if I don’t have to explain it further? Of course, it’s all written down in the document.”

“Isn’t it my job to look around, harpoon if it looks like a dog, and pat its butt if it’s clean?”

“…It would be hard to find a more delicious explanation than that. you’re right.”

“Then that’s it.”

Xu Liang held out his hand.

Hu Yaosheng took out a well-sealed document from his pocket and handed it to him.

“You don’t need to feel too burdened. “The Archduke has also been through missions like this a couple of times.”

“Is that so.”

“yes.”

Xu Liang was speechless.

Ho Yaoseong, who was examining his face, stood up from his seat.

“If I have time, I would have a drink like I used to, but I’m a bit busy too. “I’ll just have to get up and take a look.”

“Is that so? If you do, please go quickly.”

“Yes. I don’t think I can see you off. I hope you return home safely.”

Your school? joy!

“Haha, don’t worry.”

Ho Yo-seong gets back on the carriage after receiving a send-off that doesn’t seem like Seo-ryang’s send-off.

He muttered shakily.

“Why do you look so excited? Is it that good?”

It seemed that what the religious leader said was true. I heard that he seemed to find staying on campus quite frustrating, but did he really want to leave?

Hu Yaosheng looked out the window.

The faces of countless demons passed by among the rapidly flowing surrounding scenes.

‘It’s a relationship…’

Recently, the vertical structure of Shingyo and the Seven Families is shaking.

Some of them, who had been the hands and feet of Protestantism for hundreds of years, no longer wanted to be ruled by anyone.

The fact that Geogyeongga and Jeoksaga who participated in the Pasun Festival showed signs of blatant discomfort proved this.

Those two families were even families that offered their flesh and blood to the religious leader as disciples.

It was similar to the psychology of wanting to eliminate the object of fear.

Just as they were afraid of ghosts and tried to get rid of them by calling a magician skilled in magic, they were also trying to get rid of the object of their fear by calling someone.

‘It’s okay to exclude the Demon Sword Family and the Thousand Treasure Gold Family.’

There are four families belonging to the Seven Families that participated in this Pasun Festival.

Among them, the Demon Sword and the Heavenly Treasure are clean. This was the result of the military department’s direct investigation prior to their response.

‘Now is the time to catch it.’

The deity did not move and the priests were silent.

Only now, after enduring that time of suffering, have I finally read the murderousness of the blade hidden behind laughter. And the Samgongja was perfect as another sword to get rid of that deadly force.

“Do you know? “Drinking back then was fun, but I couldn’t drink to much.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes deepened.

“If we come back safely, then let’s have a binge and get drunk, Samgongja.”

* * *

Seolyang’s face was flushed red when he returned to his residence with his heart pounding.

‘I’m going.’

I can confidently go out on my own without worrying about what anyone thinks.

It took a while for Lee Cheon-sang to order, but what is it? What was important was that, unlike before, this outing was legal.

‘at las…!’

Because I was with a convoy, I returned without being able to properly understand the troop numbers or movements of the surrounding geographical branches.

It’s okay though. Whatever happens, it’s good.

I was finally able to leave the Protestant church I had lived in for over a year. I was able to enjoy the freedom I had dreamed of my whole life.

Of course, you will have to do quite a bit of work even after going outside.

“Brother?”

“uh? ah! You are a woman. “You haven’t gone yet?”

Chae Yeo-min tilted her head.

“Why are you doing this? “Where does it hurt?”

Is that possible, Inseok?

“Hahaha! You can never, ever, ever get sick!”

“Oh yes.”

Xi Liang clenched his fists.

‘Freedom!’

Seoryang plans a hopeful future, even shaking his body.

Chae Yeo-min was looking at Seo-ryang with bright eyes.
