Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 90. Grow (5)

“What?! “What is going on?”

“….”

“I can’t help but be surprised that you would come to such a shabby place in the world.”

“Are you busy?”

“It’s always my job. But what’s the point of being busy? “No one else has come but the Great Protector!”

Hu Yaocheng greeted Wu Tam with a fuss.

“Please sit here. “It’s a good chair because it’s soft.”

“Then please excuse me.”

“What kind of car would you like? This time, a good Byeokrachun arrived. Would you like to give it to you? Or alcohol?”

“….”

“Kyahaha! I guess I forgot the nature of Great Protection for a moment! “I’ll take anything!”

He’s still a crazy person.

Mudam, who had commented in his mind, looked around.

Hu Yao-seong’s office was covered with all kinds of documents and old books.

Still, it would have been easy for a Protestant general to decorate his office in his own way, but I didn’t see anything like that at all.

Mudam thought that that aspect of the general military was not as bad as that. A personality that values efficiency rather than being buried in formality is truly not a bad thing.

It’s a problem if you don’t follow the formality too much.

“It smells good, right? It’s because I’ve been having epilepsy these days. “I don’t know if I brewed it well.”

“Thank you.”

“Hehehe! I heard people say thank you to the Great Protector and this person has great luck today!

I have to walk around a lot today. Do you know anything? “I’ll even pick up the fallen pieces of gold!”

It was an extremely frivolous appearance.

If I left him alone, he would talk until dawn. Mudam immediately opened his mouth.

“Is your work going well?”

“haha! “It’s always the same.”

“Right.”

“Yes.”

“….”

“huh? “Why are you doing this?”

Mudam could not easily open his mouth.

Ho Yaoseong snapped his fingers.

“Oh, I have something to say, but I don’t want to get straight to the point, so I was planning to open the conversation by talking about life in the world, but

this handsome general is not usually frivolous, so it’s hard to say anything, right?”

“….”

“Right?”

Reading people’s minds too well is also a problem.

Mudam calmly drank his tea and opened his mouth.

“I heard that you met with the Three Dukes a while ago.”

“ah? “The rumor has reached the Great Protector’s ears.”

“How was it?”

“Huh? What does that mean all of a sudden? “How was it?”

“I mean it literally. “How was the Three Confucius?”

In response to Mudam’s question, Ho Yao-seong recalled the proverb that things in the world go round and round.

‘I never thought I’d be asked the same question I asked Hwanhee Wonju.’

What’s even funnier is that he has no choice but to give a similar answer to the one Hwanhee Wonju gave.

“Is there anything to say about this or that? “It is difficult to understand everything about a person at just one look.”

“That is correct. So, I am now asking the general, who is said to have the best insight in our school.”

You leave me speechless.

Ho Yo-seong, who was quietly examining the color of Mu-dam’s body, asked again.

“Why are you suddenly asking about the Three Dukes?”

Mudam’s eyes deepened.

“Two days ago, the Three Dukes received a call from the religious leader and entered the Demon God Palace.”

“So?”

“The religious leader taught the Three Dukes for as long as half a day.”

“…!”

This much was truly unexpected.

Ho Yo-seong’s eyes also deepened.

“For half a day?”

“exactly. And that…”

“It is a privilege that no successor has ever received.”

“exactly.”

After being silent for a moment, Hu Yaosheng shook his head.

“It’s surprising, but does it even matter?”

“The succession fight is none of our business. “Everything will happen according to the leader’s will.”

“So?”

Mudam’s face hardened.

“It is not my business to know who the successor will be, but I cannot sit idly by and see the balance in internal politics being disrupted.”

“….”

“I heard that you opened the Heavenly Demon Armory to the Three Dukes.”

“That’s right.”

“I will keep it simple. “The Commander-in-Chief took it too far.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

“It may seem excessive.”

“You don’t think so about the General Military?”

“yes.”

“Why?”

“Now I see that the Great Protector came to scold this man before worrying about the balance of internal affairs.”

“I do not have the authority, experience, or wisdom to scold the General Military. However, as the chairman of the defense court, I came here to express my concerns to the general military, who is at the top of the political power on campus.”

“In other words, the question of what kind of person the Three Dukes are is an extension of the question of whether he is a person worth opening the Heavenly Demon Armory even if it is unreasonable.”

“It’s similar.”

Hu Yaosheng said clearly.

“This is someone you don’t need to open up to.”

Mudam’s eyebrows twitched.

“If that’s the case, it’s even more of a problem. Why open the Heavenly Demon Armory to someone who is not qualified…”

“There is no need for someone who is already at the forefront to be a new recruit. So the Three Dukes had no need for the Heavenly Horse Armour.”

“…!”

Mudam’s face visibly hardened. I had no idea that the general military would rate the Three Dukes so highly.

“I am a person who said that there is no need to join the Cheonma Army. Nevertheless, I placed a trading item called Cheonma Byeongchang on the scale.”

“Can I ask why?”

“Because in exchange for giving the other person unnecessary items, I was able to talk to him privately and talk a lot.”

“…!”

“I don’t know the ins and outs of what kind of person the Three Dukes are. But through our conversation that day, I was able to understand him to some extent.”

“….”

“Did you say I was the one who rose to the top of campus politics? no.

I am not a person worthy of that. However, I am a person who prepares a large scale by getting to know the people in the school, just like I did with the Three Confucius and the scales.

“I want you to measure the scales well.”

Hu Yaosheng lowered his head.

“We are trying to prevent something that Daehobeop is worried about from happening, so don’t worry too much.”

Wu Dam looked at Hu Yaosheng with somewhat surprised eyes.

Hu Yaosheng’s face was serious. And it was true.

He wasn’t the one who usually showed his frivolous side. Seeing a senior who sincerely cares about Protestantism, he too engages in conversation with a serious attitude as a general soldier.

This was because I knew that Mudam had come here not just to find fault, but because he was genuinely worried about Shingyo.

Mu Dam, who was quietly looking at Huyo Castle, took the gun.

“This person was looking at the military history wrong. “I apologize.”

Surprised, Ho Yo-seong stood up and waved his hand. He looked genuinely embarrassed.

“Why are you doing this? Don’t do this. “It’s hard to handle this.”

“no. I had a prejudice against the general military. “I only looked down on you because it was a topic we had never had a proper conversation with.”

Mudam bowed his head again.

“I sincerely apologize.”

Ho Yo-seong looked like he couldn’t stop him.

Senior Lee, I have a weakness for people who are honest and kind.

“I’m sorry I only served you tea when you took the time to come. “I will visit you every day.”

“There is no need for that.”

Mudam smiled slightly. His face was somewhat awkward, as if he had never made such an expression in his life.

“This person will stop by once in a while, so I would appreciate it if you could treat him to a cup of tea like this.”

“What?! “Are you planning on destroying my precious tea leaves?”

“…I wish you wouldn’t tell such weird jokes.”

Without saying that, Mudam left the office.

Immediately, Ho Yo-seong collapsed on a chair and pressed his temples.

“Life at the Protestant church has been really interesting these days.”

A sharp conversation with So Yeon-sim and a sweet and brutal private encounter with Sam Gong-ja.

Now we are discussing the future of Mudam and Shingyo, which we have never discussed in private.

‘But what…’

Ho Yo-seong smiled.

“Is this fun too?”

* * *

Seoryang, who had been locked in his room, opened the door and came out only after three days.

The sight of him, who hadn’t eaten, washed, or slept in a while, was truly a sight to behold. The area under his eyes had turned black, as if he hadn’t slept at all.

Considering his powerful internal strength and his nearly perfect body, I could see how intensely he had thought about it for three days.

“Eudadada!”

Seeing Seoryang stretching out, Ma Dong-pil came up to her in a huff.

“Confucius!”

“Yes? “Oh, it’s Dongpil.”

“How are you feeling? Are you okay?”

“Well, I’m on the verge of death. “It’s been a long time since I felt this tired from rolling my head.”

“At least have a light meal and then get some sleep.”

“Oh, I still think so. “Anyway, what about the crazy Daeju?”

“Are you talking about the Lord above?”

“Then is there any other crazy master besides that bitch? “Has he gone?”

“Oh yeah. “I haven’t stopped by once since Confucius left the house.”

“okay? Okay… nope. He’s definitely not upset, right? “What if he sulks and makes a fuss again later?”

Ma Dong-pil shook his head.

“He doesn’t have the brains to do that.”

Looks like this guy has really learned a lot.

“Anyway, it went well. No one bothers you. “I’ll ask Aenghwa to eat and sleep… okay?”

Xu Liang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Ma Dong-pil flinched without realizing it because the eyes looking at him were unusual.

“Look at this guy?”

“…yes?”

“How many days have it been since I was locked in my room?”

“Three days have passed, Confucius.”

“Three days…”

It’s been less time than I thought.

“It’s only been three days, so that’s it?”

“yes?”

Seoliang glanced at Ma Dong-pil’s waist belt. To be precise, I looked at the Ink King sword hanging on the waist belt.

The Mukwanggeom was the same as when I first brought it. When I was in that sword armor that I don’t know how it was forged, not a single trace of magic was shed.

“Take out your sword.”

“You mean the Ink King Sword?”

“Then, are there any other swords here except King Mu? Pull it out and quickly.”

Although he was taken aback by the sudden request, Ma Dong-pil obediently drew his sword.

Ugh.

Powerful magical energy that is released as soon as it is drawn.

But there was nothing special about it. The Mukwanggeom was showing almost the same appearance as when I first saw it.

However, Xu Liang’s eyes as he looked at the Ink King Sword were serious. Ma Dong-pil naturally felt nervous in that serious atmosphere.

After a while.

“You’re saying you’re not a new recruit for nothing?”

“…?”

“No, not a new soldier, but a horse soldier. Anyway, this is a really cool item. If not him….”

Seoliang glanced at Ma Dong-pil.

“Your efforts were that fierce. “Maybe it’s both.”

“…sorry. I have no idea what Confucius is talking about…”

“Follow me.”

Seoryang walks up to the training ground without any explanation.

Ma Dong-pil followed him without realizing it. I was worried about Confucius’ health, but his mood was so serious that it was difficult to tell him to rest easily.

Eventually, the two people stood facing each other in the center of the training ground.

“….”

A moment of silence.

Seo-ryang, who was looking up at the sky in silence, soon nodded.

“Well, I can’t just leave you knowing forever.”

Seo-ryang cast his gaze back to Ma Dong-pil.

Ma Dong-pil swallowed his saliva without realizing it. It was the first time I had seen Seoryang’s eyes that alternated between seriousness and pride.

“You are strong enough, but not yet strong enough to protect me. “It’s hard to see someone die first in the name of protecting you.”

“…?”

“If you have benefited from the leader of the Iwangjisa sect, you should also benefit from me.”

“yes?”

“It’s half a day. “I will raise your level in half a day.”

Ma Dong-pil was surprised.

It’s not because they say you can raise your level in half a day.

It may be surprising, but if Seo-ryang were to do so, it would be so. It’s not because he’s a three-year-old, but because I believe in his skills.

There was actually a different reason why he was embarrassed.

“Are you still okay?”

“I’m sure you’re not worried about my physical condition right now, right? “Even in my current state, I can beat you within 5 seconds, man.”

“That’s true, but… I just…”

“What’s the problem?”

Ma Dong-pil cleared his throat slightly.

“You said don’t worry and move forward until you reach your limit.”

“whatever?”

“yes?”

“You keep moving forward. “I will be there to help you.”

“That’s…”

“Are you sure you want to say that the power you grew with the help of others is not entirely yours?”

Xiliang snorted.

“Me too, but you also have a lot of stairs left to climb. “If your eyes are focused on the word ‘growth,’ you shouldn’t say such arrogant things.”

“Ah….”

“Teacher’s teachings, battle experience, advice from a close friend. All of that is the driving force for growth.

In the world of masters, it is possible to attain enlightenment even while eating or pooping, so why are you so hesitant? “It’s still a million years too early for you to worry about that.”

Ma Dong-pil lowered his head.

“If you do that, it’s shameful…”

“Such a statement in itself is arrogant. Think like that and act accordingly.”

Slurp.

Xi Liang pulled out the Chiliya Sword.

“Like I said, I’m just there. “If you cannot unleash the power within you within half a day, I will interpret that as your will in the end.”

A look of tension flashed across Ma Dong-pil’s face.

“Let’s get started right away.”

“I plan to do that even if you don’t say anything.”

Slurp.

Ma Dong-pil, who was taking a stance with his sword drawn, had a moment of doubt.

‘The power within me? What does that mean?’

Those words sounded like he was suppressing something that could have allowed him to grow much more than he is now.

hook.

“I forgot to tell you in advance.”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened as if torn.

Before I knew it, Seoryang had moved to the left and was holding the Chilya sword high.

“If you don’t concentrate, you could die.”

Xi Liang struck down his sword.

Hahaha!
