Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 642. A story in the reign (17)

“Hmm.”

Wei Hongryun looked at the Red Red Banner, or rather the creature that had once been the Red Red Banner, with serious eyes.

“what? Is it fried? Or steamed? “This came out completely cooked.”

Wei Hongryeon poked the neungjeokban with his sword armor.

There was no reaction. Neungjeokban was left with burns all over his body and his mouth was open.

“It’s definitely amazing to see that he didn’t die even after this. “It was amazing that he was able to completely take my ten swords with his body, and he was still breathing even though he was almost harpooned.”

At that time, a deep voice was heard.

“I’m pretty good at controlling my strength.”

Wei Hongryun grinned.

“That’s right. “Your skills haven’t died?”

Song Geum-baek grumbled softly.

“You don’t call me to speak to you.”

“I don’t think you would like that kind of thing, given your personality?”

“That’s right.”

“Well, before that, we demons only serve the religious leader.”

“Hmm, even the common people serve His Majesty the Emperor, but they call me to tell them.”

“Shall I call you?”

“That’s enough.”

Wei Hongryeon chuckled.

“But why did you come to the center of the country?”

“why? “Are you worried that I might do something to harm your religious leader?”

“Do you have the skills to do that?”

“Okay.”

“Kyahaha, I asked because I was really curious. Besides…”

She blinked.

“Lord Xiaogung, Branch Manager Yeo, and Lady Oh Gong? reel? “Is Lord Hao Wen also there?”

Joo Seo-yoon smiled and greeted me.

“How have you been?”

“Hey, it’s me, it’s always like that.”

“Congratulations, even if it’s belated. “You’ve reached the peak.”

“That’s right. “I knew Lady Oh Gong would come up before me, but it was later than I thought.”

“no. “I was lucky.”

“Don’t go anywhere and say something like that. “You can’t reach that level by luck.”

Joo Seo-yoon scratched her cheek as if she was embarrassed.

Wei Hongryeon looked at Yeo Ganghwi and whistled.

“But that side is also amazing, isn’t it? “The level is similar, but if you were to risk your life to fight, you wouldn’t be able to survive even fifty times, right?”

Yeo Kang-hwi chuckled.

“It’s been over five years since I reached this level. “Wouldn’t it be weirder if there was no difference?”

“Did you? “Wow, I know that now.”

“Anyway, are you busy these days?”

“It’s incredibly busy. “We are several times busier than before the war ended.”

“ah! And I am no longer the Sogungju…”

“Yeo, Branch Manager.”

Wei Hongryeon looked at Yeo Sangrin and waved his hand. Yeo Kang-hwi, feeling somewhat embarrassed, cleared his throat.

Yeo Sang-rin also waved at him.

“How you doing?”

“I was doing well. But what about the branch, are you here?”

Wei Hongryun looked around at the group.

“And with all these people.”

“I’m going to Shingyo to have fun.”

“Is this the main school?”

“yes.”

“Omg? “I didn’t hear that?”

“It has to be that way. “We had no intention of going out to play until His Majesty King Taejang came.”

Wei Honglian looked at Zheng Zhengbai.

Zheng Zhongbaek smiled.

“I have some business to run, so I thought it would be nice if we all went together.”

“Hehe, is that so?”

“Something? “What about those suspicious eyes?”

“This is what I ate to get my eyes. Please understand. “My old nickname was Heavenly Demon Church’s Most Crazy Bitch.”

“A risk!”

“Anyway, thank you for catching this whole roast. “My blood pressure was soaring to the top of my head trying to catch up with him running away like a loach, but thanks to you, I saved time.”

“haha.”

Wei Hongryun raised the neungjeokban.

Even the power supply had already been destroyed by the money transfer bag. The fact that he didn’t die even after that was truly amazing vitality.

“Guys, we’ve captured the target. Take it.”

“yes!”

The Demon Beasts, who had received the new soldiers of the Red Army from Wei Hongryeon, quickly retreated.

“Take him straight to the doctor and get him treated first. “Once the treatment is over to a certain extent, transfer to the main school.”

“yes!”

“Okay, after leaving it to the doctor, you guys should get some rest. “I’m coming back with a whole grill.”

“I follow your orders!”

Just like that, the demon beasts disappeared.

Joo Seo-yoon tilted his head.

“what? “Does the above commanding lord have any special mission?”

“Unfortunately, yes. “I need to get rid of this guy’s position as the Demon Lord.”

“That’s too bad. “I wanted to go with you.”

“What are you talking about? “We will go together.”

“yes? “I heard you have a mission.”

“That’s why we’re going together.”

“…?”

“It’s a mission to monitor risk factors and escort distinguished guests of our school.”

Joo Seo-yoon smiled.

“Good for you.”

“Yes?”

At that time, Geum Baek intervened.

“Who are the risk factors and who are the VIPs?”

“The others are VIPs, but Lord Song is both.”

“Tsk, aren’t you doubting me too much?”

“It’s a joke.”

“…Are you playing pranks that seriously?”

“As I said, my eyes were originally shaped like this.”

“A risk!”

“Then shall we just leave? That was the way you were going anyway, right? “There’s nothing you can’t move, even at night, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Let’s go. “I know the shortest distance.”

“There’s a place we need to stop by before that.”

“Weapons warehouse?”

“Oops! “Hey man, play around a bit.”

“Giggles.”

Zheng Zhongbaek asked Gong Yachi.

“Is it true that Hyesim is in Honam?”

“That’s right. We provide free medical treatment to patients who cannot afford it in the central Honam region. “It is expected that it will come up to northern Honam soon.”

“You’ve been doing this for five years?”

“yes. I heard that he belatedly learned medicine in order to be of help to the world, and his skills are said to be greater than expected. “It is said that the retired heads of the Eight Great Lakes are also practicing medicine together with Ambassador Hye-sim.”

“That’s amazing. “Now that the war is over, I hope I can live comfortably when I return to Shaolin.”

“I think he’s that kind of person by nature. “I think I’ll probably live like that for the rest of my life.”

“Tsk, let’s just go. If you say you won’t go to Protestantism, I guess I’ll have to give you some money. “It will take a lot of money to take care of patients.”

“If you do, I will guide you.”

“That’s right.”

Wei Hongryeon’s eyes widened.

“By Hyesim, are you referring to the former Shaolin leader?”

“That’s right.”

“You’re taking Taengjung to the main school?”

“What is it like? “He has a deep connection with Cheonma.”

“Of course it is.”

Song Geum-baek pointed to Joo Seo-yoon.

“Even the swordsman was once taught by the Saengbuddha, the highest rank in Shaolin. In a way, the swordsman and Hye-sim can be said to be alumni.”

“Oh, it happens again.”

Joo Seo-yoon smiled.

“I still wanted to meet you at least once. “I heard you’re in Honam, so let’s get directions there.”

“Good.”

“Ah, but what should I do with Namgung?”

Gong Yachi came out.

“It’s too far to stop by Anhui. “I will send you a separate letter.”

* * *

“Whoa.”

Namgoong Dan rubbed his eyes.

“Now I can finally live.”

I stayed up all night for three days and devoted myself to work. Thanks to that, I was able to handle all the accumulated work.

I really needed a drink at a time like this. For the sake of Anhui’s stability, he has not had a sip of alcohol in the past five years.

“It’s alcohol…”

Namgoongdan laughed bitterly.

“There are still a lot of things to solve, so what about alcohol?”

Sometimes I thought like this. I wonder if I’m pushing myself too harshly.

Unbelievably, I really felt that way. If you have a personality that always blames yourself for your own shortcomings, and even think that way, it means that you are really busy without much time to even notice.

Namgoong Dan looked out the window.

The moon that rose in Hwiyeongcheong looked particularly warm today.

“Hash (亥時)….”

While watching the fading moon, he stood up holding the long sword hanging on the wall.

“It’s too bad to sleep now. “I need to do the training I haven’t been able to do before.”

Staying up all night for three days is not that big of a blow to Master Naga. Moreover, although it may cause psychological fatigue to Namgung Dan, who is just around the corner from the flower world, it does not lead to physical fatigue.

Even so, choosing training over rest was difficult without some level of passion. He was truly living every moment with value.

Phew.

Namgung Dan, who had raised his martial arts skills, drew his sword.

Slurp.

The metal sound of the blade scraping against the scabbard was as beautiful as a song.

Namgungdan swung his sword vigorously.

Huh. Phew. Phew.

Every time the long sword filled with blue magic cut through the air, there was a heavy sound of wind.

The characteristic sharpness and speed of the sword were not visible. The heavy pressure of the sword, which was not very slow or fast, was teasing the air.

Magnificent yet detailed sword techniques. Movements that feel like watching a skilled dancer perform a sword dance.

Namgungse was the strongest swordsman and king sword type.

Rumbling.

An auditory hallucination came to Namgungdan’s ears.

It was a majestic roar, as if a huge sword like Mount Tai was blowing away the mountain peak.

Flash!

In an instant, blue sword energy surged from his sword and flew up into the sky. The sword was so clear and heavy that it seemed as if it could split the moon in half, so daunting and mysterious.

Namgungdan looked up at the sword energy slowly disappearing.

He said in a calm voice.

“How do you feel? “This father’s sword.”

“That’s amazing.”

Before he knew it, Namgunghwa came to his side.

She was already in her late twenties. Nevertheless, his appearance had not changed much from five years ago.

“If you’re done with your work, why don’t you take a break? You’re talking about training? Then you get hurt.”

“If I feel comfortable, the common people suffer. “The more I suffer, the more unwavering the life of even a single commoner becomes.”

“Hey.”

“Of course, it’s different from training. Still, I plan on taking a good rest tomorrow. “I feel like it’s been too much of a stretch.”

“Just one day… How about taking a break for a couple of months instead of just one day?”

“hmm?”

Namgunghwa took out a letter from his arms.

“This is a letter from Hao Wenju.”

“Hoo Gongya Moonju to me?”

Namgung Dan opened the letter.

After a while he smiled.

“It’s a new school trip… it’s a fun thing to even imagine.”

“how is it? “Why don’t you leave Anhui’s livelihood to us and your father go to Shingyo for a while?”

“It’s done, you idiot. “There is still a long way to go before I can safely leave it to you.”

“Tch, are you that trustworthy?”

“It’s not that I’m untrustworthy, but I’m a little concerned.”

“Actually, even if it weren’t for us, Anhui would run well, right?”

“You don’t know that. We’re not great people, but we heard that island bandits are running rampant in the east. “It is said that their spirit is very fierce. Shouldn’t we also prepare for just such an emergency?”

“That’s right.”

Namgungdan led the sword.

“I guess I’ll have to go to Shingyo separately after this incident is over.”

“That’s too bad.”

“It’s a shame. “Actually, this kid also wants to play a lot.”

“lol.”

Namgunghwa clapped his hands.

“Then how about having a drink with your daughter after a long time?”

“alcohol?”

“yes.”

Namgung Dan raised his head again and looked at the moon.

A smile appeared on his lips.

“Okay, let’s have a drink today.”
