Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 127 The Demon Hand of Greed (1)

“This is so embarrassing.”

“What are you so embarrassed about?”

Ho Yaoseong whetted his appetite.

“I told you I would come visit you sometime, but you were busy this time too.”

Mudam shook his head.

“Let’s not get caught up in such trivial things.”

“A risk! “Since you say that, I don’t know what to do.”

Hu Yaoseong filled Mu Dam’s cup.

“Are you okay with the excavator truck?”

“It’s okay.”

“It’s difficult to find fragrant tea leaves these days.”

“It’s okay.”

Ho Yo-seong smiled as he filled his own glass.

“I intentionally made the scent a little weak. “I think it’s quite drinkable.”

Two people drank tea at the same time.

Unlike Ho Yao-seong, who seemed to have a weak taste, Mu-dam seemed quite surprised. Of course, it was a very faint expression.

“The unique scent of tea leaves is so strong, but burning it like this doesn’t really bother me.”

“Is that so? “I’m glad you liked it.”

Hu Yao-seong slapped his thigh.

“You didn’t like long editorials, right? Now then, what brought you to Ye today?”

Mudam did not answer. All I could do was just stare at Ho Yo-seong.

Hu Yaosheng scratched his head.

“Those eyes are so….”

“Hmm?”

“Ahem! no.”

“Total military.”

“Say yes.”

“It looks like you haven’t been able to rest these days. “The area under my eyes is black.”

Ho Yaoseong smoothed his skin.

“Not only did the area under my eyes turn black, but my skin also became rough. “I really can’t even do this these days.”

“….”

“Ah, I said all sorts of things in front of Daehobeop.”

Mudam shook his head.

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“I would like to do that too. “I don’t feel like this.”

Ho Yo-seong asked after emptying the hot tea.

“So what’s going on?”

“I came because I wanted to check one thing.”

“What do you mean?”

“About this inspection work.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes sparkled.

“Do you have any questions about the Three Dukes?”

“To be exact, I’m curious about what will happen due to an external inspection, not the Three Dukes.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Mudam, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.

“Do you remember that when we sent a convoy from Hwanheewon a while ago, we were in trouble because of the Beast Palace crowd?”

“of course. “It’s an unforgettable incident.”

“….”

“But why is that?”

“Don’t you know better than me?”

Mudam’s eyes deepened.

“Recently, unidentified experts have appeared near northern Guangdong. “We haven’t formed a proper tracking team yet, so we don’t know where they came from or what their identities are.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

“okay.”

“You didn’t know?”

“No, I knew.”

“But how…”

“I was just surprised. “Daehobeop is definitely our school’s defense, but I didn’t know he would pay that much attention.”

It wasn’t my job, so how could I come here and be curious about it?

Words that can make you feel bad depending on how you hear them. But Mudam was not displeased at all.

“If you don’t know, you don’t know, but as long as you know, you can’t help but pay attention to that.”

“Even if you know, the investigation and extermination of them is under the jurisdiction of the military department.”

“Of course he knows too.”

“But I guess that’s one reason why you came all the way to Ye and asked me.”

Hu Yao-sheng’s eyes lit up.

“Are there any special escorts in the area?”

Mudam was once again surprised by the sharpness of Hoyosung.

Although he had a personality that was incapable of lying, he had almost no facial expressions. Nevertheless, Hu Yao-seong knew exactly why Mu-dam had come here.

“exactly.”

Hu Yaosheng laughed as if he couldn’t stop him.

‘Aren’t you too quick to admit it?’

As expected, he is a great person. They are different from the soldiers who use their smiling faces as shields and brandish all kinds of weapons.

So it looked amazing, and that made me wary.

Because people are unable to look straight at the object of their affection. Hu Yao-seong thought that he was no different from such general-purpose great men.

“Currently, a group of guards is secretly heading to the special guard. “Just in case, we too must take action.”

“I understand why you’re worried.”

Hu Yaosheng’s face became serious.

“Let me be clear. Those mysterious masters will never touch the special escort.”

“…?”

“To be clear, special escorts are not their target.”

“Do you know who is being escorted?”

“I do not know. “That is completely under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate Court.”

“But how can you be so confident?”

“Because the goal that the mysterious experts are aiming for is clear.”

“Who on earth are those experts?”

“Until there.”

“…?”

“If it was something that Daehobeop really needed to know, he would have told me about it a long time ago. But I decided there was no need for that.”

Ho Yaoseong said as he filled the teacup again.

“To eliminate your anxiety about the Great Protection Act, I can tell you who they are and what their goals are. “If you really want it, I’ll tell you now.”

“….”

“Do you want it?”

Mudam, who was looking at Ho Yo-seong quietly, shook his head.

“What the Commander-in-Chief said is correct. I was shaking with unnecessary anxiety. “I apologize.”

“no. It is difficult for a special escort to appear once in a decade. “I understand that Daehobeop has no choice but to be nervous.”

“It’s just embarrassing.”

Mudam sighed uncharacteristically.

“It feels strange. I’ve never been like this before, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more and more concerned about the situation in the Central Plains.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes deepened.

‘It’s not because you’re older.’

This is the feeling of an absolute master.

Although it had been a long time since he showed his teeth and claws, Mudam was still the beast of beasts.

The senses of the undead beast sensed an ominous atmosphere. Even without any information, the veteran who had devoted his entire life to Protestantism was able to read the invisible clouds of war.

Furthermore, this old man will know. No, you may already know it subconsciously.

Who was the person who brought that war luck? Who stands at the center of the invisible vortex?

“Let me take a break and chat about various things. Would you like another cup of tea?”

“Good.”

* * *

Bujeong-Hyeon (嘉得賢) had a quiet personality, unlike a member of Gwangma University.

They are quick-witted, attentive to detail, and take good care of others. In many ways, it did not suit Gwangmadae.

In fact, that was the reason why he, who had stronger martial arts skills than Cha Gwang, became Captain Lee rather than the commander of the unit. He knew very well that he was not good at manipulating people.

So he became this leader. Wei Hongryeon also opposed it, but in the end, he could not break the will of Bujeonghyeon.

A rare demon in Protestantism, where force is power.

But his skills are beyond reproach. The actual second-in-command of Gwangmadae is not Cha Gwang, but Moon Geun-hyeon.

Even Bujeonghyeon could not help but be in awe of the powerful energy wave approaching from afar.

‘strong.’

It’s different from the magicians I’ve seen so far.

Unlike the masters who radiated energy waves like an active volcano or a storm, the energy waves of that giant Han were infinitely heavy.

Would you say it is like the breath of a whale swimming in the deep sea? The closer I got, the stronger my body became and the harder it became to breathe.

‘That person is Zhong Lishan, the head of the Geogyeong family.’

Behind Jongnisan, about a hundred experts wearing blue uniforms were following behind them. They all had stern faces and good builds, and each held a black iron spear in their hands.

Cheung Jeong-hyeon’s eyes hardened.

‘It’s the Sea King’s Wi that I’ve only heard about.’

It is Geokyungga’s best guard unit and strongest military organization that only listens to the orders of the head of the family. Even if they were sent alone, most of the small and medium-sized factions would have evaporated in less than half an hour without leaving a single blade of grass behind.

Although the head of the family is only one head, the number of troops he brought with him is as many as 100. If there were even one group, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand in the decisive battle with the Sea King with this group alone.

After a while, Zhonglisan stopped outside the entrance to Sohyanggok.

All members of this group of the Gwangmadae had already set up camp.

Gajeonghyeon took a step forward and took the gun.

“My name is Bujeong-hyeon, the leader of this group of the Gwangmadae of the Protestant headquarters. “I see you, the head of the Geogyeong family.”

Zhong Lishan’s eyes sparkled.

“It’s pretty good.”

This is a calm review.

Say that in front of someone you are meeting for the first time. He may be seen as arrogant, but no one could point a finger at him.

He was a man suited for such strength and arrogance.

“I received a call from the acting inspector special inspector.”

“I know.”

“Guide me.”

Gajeonghyeon bowed his head.

“Please wait a moment. “I will put a message inside.”

“tidings?”

Thick eyebrows twitch.

A very small change in facial expression. That alone made the air around the area seem to be shaking.

“You mean you’re not here?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s unpleasant.”

Zhong Lishan did not hide his feelings.

“If you summoned the head of a family, you would have to show a minimum of courtesy.”

“….”

“Where are you now?”

“He entered the narrow road behind us. “We have been given orders to protect this place.”

Protect it.

It meant that no one should be allowed in here. Even if the opponent is a giant.

Even if it’s an order from a superior, it’s not something to say carelessly in front of a big man like the head of a large family. Although he had a quiet and attentive personality, Bu Jeong-hyeon also had a lot of spirit as a member of the Gwangmadae.

Zhong Lishan’s eyes narrowed.

Flash!

Intense magical energy flashed through the sharp eyes staring at Bujeonghyeon.

Grumbling.

Cold sweat formed on Gajeonghyeon’s forehead. But his expression did not change at all.

Zhong Lishan nodded.

“Tell it to the inspector. “Thanks to having good subordinates, I will put up with it for once.”

It meant acknowledging the other person’s skills and distribution. Gajeonghyeon bowed his head once again and expressed his gratitude.

It was then.

“Oh my, I’m so scared. “Is this so scary that it can even be an inspection worthy of an inspection?”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the narrow valley. A woman was walking out of there.

Although she was quite a beauty, her sharp eyes and the scar running diagonally across her face gave off a subtle intimidation.

He carried two swords on his back. One was a deformed sword so wide that it was ten inches wide, and the other was a pure white long sword without any blemishes.

Pusssss.

A cloud of black smoke rose from the ground she stepped on.

A hint of surprise appeared on Zhong Lishan’s face. The magical energy felt from the other person was beyond imagination.

“Then what shall we do? Should we tolerate your rude attitude for once? huh?”

“….”

“But I don’t think we have any reason to endure it like you do.”

“who are you?”

Wei Hongryun grinned.

“He is the most crazy bitch recognized by the Heavenly Demon Church.”
