Chapter 372
Episode 372: That’s something I specialize in. (1)
The Yin-Yang pair tested the performance of the Sakyamuni armor on several occasions.
The result was more satisfactory than expected.
It’s so hard that it doesn’t even get scratched by strength. And it even has the ability to absorb a significant amount of impact by consuming internal strength.
There was literally no other armor that was the best in the world.
Above all, the best thing was the comfort that made you feel like you were not even wearing anything.
“How much should I give you?”
Now it was time to pay for the request.
The head of the family, Seok Mun-hyeok, reflexively answered Yoo Seol’s question.
“As I said last time, the customer can set the price.”
To Seok Mun-hyeok, who was getting older, money had no meaning. He just wants to be recognized for the work that puts his soul into it.
“…hmm.”
Yu Seol stroked her chin and pondered.
How much is the right amount to pay?
However, I had no intention of eating it raw.
As the worries continued, the family head’s son, who was watching from the side, quietly gave advice.
“The armor made at our Seokgajang costs, on average, three silver coins per piece. But this…”
Seok Seok-gwang, who was about to continue speaking, received a glance from his father and hurriedly closed his mouth.
In any case, three silver coins for a set of armor was a very expensive price. Because it was ten times the level of armor generally distributed on the market.
“great. “I have decided.”
After thinking about it, Yoo Seol took out a bundle of slips from her pocket and fiddled with them.
Then he took out three sheets and held them out.
Master Seok-gwang, who was watching from the side, covered his mouth with both hands.
“omg!?”
The head of the family, Seok Mun-hyeok, who accepted the slip, also looked puzzled.
He then asked in an excited voice.
“…Is it really okay to accept this much money?”
The total amount of the voucher that Yu Seol handed out was a whopping nine hundred silver nyang.
It was an amount equivalent to three hundred times that of the typical premium quality armor made here.
At the same time, it was a huge amount of money, enough to ensure that Shakyamuni would enjoy good fortune for the next hundred years.
Nevertheless, Yu Seol nodded with an expression that said it was not a waste at all.
“I don’t think the value of this armor can be measured in money. Even 10,000 won is not enough. My grandfather, the greatest master in the world, carved out a life and made it for me, right? “There will be no better armor than this in the future.”
Seok Mun-hyuk, who was listening quietly, had tears in his eyes.
This is because I heard what I wanted to hear from the Supreme Leader of the Martial Arts and not from anyone else.
The fact that his skills were recognized made his heart warm.
Immediately afterwards, he wiped away his tears with his hand holding the slip and spoke.
“This moment is the most glorious moment in my life.”
I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him who had aged so much while making giraffe armor.
Yu Seol said, gently grasping one of his hands with both hands.
“We will use the armor sparingly. Instead, use that money to buy some elixir. “Okay?”
“Thank you. “Now that Seok Mun-hyeok’s last work has found an owner who recognizes its value, I don’t know what to do.”
“We’re honored too, Grandpa.”

After receiving the armor and paying for it, Josun left Shijiajang.
The smile did not leave Yu Seol’s face the entire time he was walking.
Even at this moment, I was fond of playing with the soft armor with both hands.
“very good. “I finally got the treasure.”
Jinsan Yu, who was next to him, looked at his granddaughter with a happy smile.
“Is it that good? “I saw you at Shakya Temple earlier and you were really good at speaking.”
As each day passed, my granddaughter’s speaking skills were improving.
Of course it was inevitable.
“Hi-Hi. “I learned everything from my grandfather.”
Yoo Seol’s age is now only twelve.
However, it was on a different level from other children of the same age.
Although their natural qualities were unique, there was a big difference in the way they grew up.
Because I grew up with a wise grandfather as my friend instead of other children my age, I was bound to be faster than others.
Yu Jin-san, looking at his granddaughter like that, could not hide his pride.
‘If you look at history, there were many emperors who ruled their countries at a young age. However, there has never been a child as outstanding as our Seol, and there will never be one in the future.’
Now, I thought that my granddaughter was qualified to lead the martial arts group as the head of Cheonyuhoe.
What if there is still something lacking? There was no problem as there were talented people around to help.
Eugene San, who was quietly laughing, suddenly remembered something and asked his granddaughter.
“baby. But how did you think of handing over such a large amount of money just now? “Nine hundred silver nyangs is a lot of money that we can’t even spend all of in Shakyamuni.”
“It’s not a waste. “This armor could save your grandfather’s life later.”
“Grandpa’s life? “This armor was made for you to wear when fighting Arhat.”
Yu Seol said, holding out the giraffe armor he was holding in both hands to his grandfather.
“There’s still a long way to go before we invade. “I’ll lend it to you until then, so Grandpa is wearing it.”
The timing of the Tianzhu invasion was about three years later.
There was a clue in the Soroeuumsa religious book that I obtained from the leader of the Baekhwahyeolgyo cult last time.
Until then, there will be no one that could pose a threat to the granddaughter.
After thinking for a moment, Jinsan Yu asked in a shy voice.
“…Is that so?”
“huh. I’ll hold it for you, so try it on. “You have to wear it inside.”
With the help of his granddaughter, Jinsan Yu took off his top and started putting on his giraffe gloves.
‘Now we don’t have to worry about Seol dying first.’
Following the Geumgang Bulgoesingong, we went to Kirin Gap.
Eugene San, who now has the strongest defense ability, felt reassured.
“Let’s go back to headquarters. “There will be a lot more work to do in the future.”
* * *
Socheonseong (Laughing Heavenly Castle).
The name of this castle, where the headquarters of Cheonyuhoe is located, was created by Yu Seol, the owner of the castle.
It was with the hope that it would become a castle so lively that laughter could be heard all the way to the sky.
Josun spent a month here strengthening the internal strength of Cheonyuhoe.
However, only the wind was still blowing in the streets of the castle.
“Ugh.”
Yu Seol, who was looking around the houses and the market alone, sighed.
It was because I felt lonely when I saw the empty pavilions.
The only people visible were the warriors Geumgun and Cheonyuhoe patrolling the streets.
This is because even after a month since the castle was opened, there was no influx of people.
When can Socheonseong be revitalized?
It was about the time when my shoulders slumped in frustration.
“Hoeju!”
When I looked back, I saw a warrior from the Black Nightclub running towards me, panting.
“Did you call me?”
“Yes, Lord Hoe. “The elder is looking for you.”
There was no need to ask what kind of elder he was. Because there was currently only one elder of the Cheonyuhoe.
“Me?”
“yes. “They say the meeting is about to begin because the Commander-in-Chief has just returned.”
Now Yu Seol’s face brightened.
Finally, the person I had been waiting for arrived.
“Thank you for letting me know!”
Yu Seol started running down the main street of the castle with a happy heart.
The lower part of the wide-spread Sipja-daero was a common area where the general public could come and go, while the upper part was the administrative area of Cheonyuhoe, and only martial people could enter.
And if you go deep inside, you will see a high staircase made of marble.
The magnificent building that existed on that single fault was the government office of Cheonyuhoe, where the meeting was held.
When Yu Seol appeared there, about a hundred warriors who were waiting stood up at the same time.
“See you Lord Hoe!”
Yoo Seol, running toward Jeongcheong, waved both hands above his head.
“See you later guys!”
Although it was a large building that could accommodate thousands of people, there were only three people inside the government office.
Elder Jinsan Yu and Protector Baekgyu. And it was Eun Hwa-rin, the commander-in-chief.
It looked awkward to see only three people sitting at a long, grand table.
“Are you here, Lord? Please sit down quickly.”
Following Eunhwarin’s guidance, Yuseol sat down at the head table and smiled brightly.
“I waited, Commander-in-Chief. “What kind of meeting is this?”
The meetings of the two heads are conducted under the leadership of Eun Hwa-rin, the general manager.
She was in charge of Cheon Yu-hoe’s policies and household affairs, and she was very well-liked by Yu Jin-san as she handled things very smoothly.
“The Lord said he wanted to bring civilians into the castle, right?”
“that’s right. “When you go out on the street, the market is empty and there are no teahouses or cafes.”
Eunhwarin said with a smile on her face, as if she had thought of a way.
“The imperial family said they would not be involved in how we run Xiaotian City. “Then there are many ways.”
“really? “Tell me quickly, Commander-in-Chief.”
“yes. First, we will rent private houses to the general public for free for a certain period of time and support jobs in stores and commercial spaces. “We also provide financing at low interest rates.”
In short, it meant releasing money to bring in population.
It could be said to be the most effective policy at the present time.
Jinsan Yu, who was watching from the side, nodded and agreed.
“In addition, we will provide the best security, so the number of people moving here based on rumors will increase quickly. But will we have enough funds?”
There was 5,000 nyang of silver as one-time funds received through the provincial commander, but if things continued this way, it would likely be used up quickly.
However, Eunhwarin had thought about that part in advance.
“It’s not enough right now. Therefore, we will start several businesses within Socheonseong. A typical example is setting up a bureau and upper division and running a battlefield.”
“It’s a good method. “If we can create a stable profit structure within the province, we won’t have to worry about Cheonyuhoe’s operating funds.”
Eunhwarin bowed her head once and continued her opinion.
“Some of the funds earned there will be reinvested in social infrastructure such as clinics and cultural facilities. The goal is to revitalize Socheonseong as an economic and cultural city. And that foundation will give wings to our Cheonyuhoe.”
Yu Jin-san could not help but be impressed by her fluent opinions.
“As expected, he is the one who developed the Black Night Party into the best intelligence organization. “I agree with that opinion.”
At that time, Baek-gyu, who had been watching silently, scratched his shiny head and said.
“I don’t understand half of what’s going on, but I agree anyway.”
Afterwards, everyone’s eyes turned to Yu Seol.
It meant making a final decision on the agenda.
“If you can save money, you should do everything. Let’s proceed as the Commander-in-Chief says. What’s next on the agenda?”
Eunhwarin slightly lowered her head and took out the next item on the agenda.
“The Black Yabang announced the formation and recruitment of the Cheonyuhoe throughout Gangho. “Soon, many forces will come here regardless of political or political affairs.”
Yoo Seol, who was resting her chin on one side, made an interesting expression.
“Really? “I hope it comes quickly.”
“yes. However, we cannot allow small factions that will not be helpful in the war against Heaven to join. “We have to evaluate each qualification one by one…”
She trailed off and glanced at Yu Jin-san.
It was not Mount Yujin whose meaning was unknown.
“I understand. “I will take charge of that matter.”
“All right. Once the recruitment period is over, the forces hostile to us will have been sorted out to some extent. As I said before, they must be dealt with by the Lord.”
Yu Seol nodded as if telling him not to worry.
“all right. “That’s what I specialize in.”
As the prepared agenda was completed, Baekgyu looked around the audience and said,
“ah. Now that I think about it, there’s one thing I didn’t tell you in advance. “The glans head will arrive here soon.”
Gwidudae were children with the best qualifications to take charge of the future martial arts world.
Last time, Baek Gyu suggested it once, but put it on hold for a while.
That’s why Jinsan Yu asked with a puzzled expression.
“hmm. Is it really okay? “I’m still not sure if we should lend their help for what we’re trying to do.”
“Brother, in your eyes, do you still look like children? “Most of them are now of an age where they can apply to become soldiers.”
On average, Gwidudae’s children are two or three years older than Yuseol.
It was only because Yuseol grew up so quickly that they seemed to be around the same age.
“Time flies. But did they readily agree to join here?”
Baekgyu smiled and said as if it was obvious.
“We missed our pretty Lord Hoe and went crazy like little puppies. Moreover, everyone was so energetic that it was impossible to keep them captive.”
They were geniuses who had been training their whole lives, starting from the training ground at Amisan Mountain.
As you get older, your blood inevitably boils.
Moreover, Baek-gyu was also feeling the limits of his ability to control those children.
“hmm. “It’s a time when you’re full of confidence.”
“That’s right. “If you leave it like this, there will definitely be a rebellion, so the owner of the company will have to use force to pressure it once in a while.”
Yoo Seol started laughing at Baek Gyu’s joke.
“Fuhihi. Okay~ I’ll press it.”
“As expected, our founder’s nephew is the best. “As a bonus, please ask a monk to join you as well.”
If the glans head moves, Master Wongang will also follow.
Although he had a high level of skill, he lacked experience, and the only person who could train him to become a peerless expert was Yu Seol.
“Ugh. Leave everything to me!”
