Chapter 204 – Disciple of the Heavenly Demon (5)
Well, now wasn’t the time to worry about what their newlywed life would be like.
“So, what now? Should we wait until he wakes up?”
“No, you don’t have to. Chunmu… It will probably take a while before he wakes up. When Cheonmu wakes up, I will talk to him separately. Rather, it would be better to start with Kang Han-jo.”
Then it’s good for me.
“First of all, I would like to give Kang Han-jo the title of ‘Hero’…”
I just casually listened to Namgung Muhyul’s words about giving him a lot of various things.
It’s a story about creating a military group of my own, like what that bastard Cheonmu is doing, and giving me the right to get a job as its leader and directly under the world government, or something else. Because it was good.
Rather…
“Can you just accept the title and give me something else?”
“Something else, you mean?”
Namgung Muhyul, who was wiping his forehead with a handkerchief and muttering something else… Soon opened his mouth.
“If it’s something of similar value, if it’s something I can get, I can get it. But are you sure you don’t mind? Daehwandan is an elixir that is difficult to obtain, and the latter is also a considerable honor… Of course, you will not be disappointed not only by the honor but also by the treatment.”
“No, I really like both of them.”
The elixir part was a little disappointing, but I wondered if there was a need to do the latter since I had to do it anyway.
Above all, I hated the latter because it seemed like I would be called out from various places.
“…Then I can’t help it. “Then what does Hanzo want?”
“Land.”
“…Earth?”
I said to Namgung Muhyul, who tilted his head.
“Yes, land. “If possible, very wide.”
“…Can you please tell me the reason?”
Reason?
“…I’m going to build a house.”
A very large house where all the wives can stay together.
I needed a land so large that I could plant a world tree so that my children, who would be born later, could have Ariad by my side.
“Hmm… If you are really asking me for it, I guess it means that you want to receive the rights to the land, not just a lease.”
Yes.
If you were simply renting it, it was still possible.
If you have money, you can do anything.
The problem was after I died.
There is no way that the World Tree can be transplanted that easily, and once it is planted in that land, there is nothing we can do about it.
I might not die right away, but I was still barely human.
By eating the Ariad fruit, my lifespan increased somewhat, and I ate a lot of things, so I would live longer than others, but even so, the limitations of humans were clear.
It was certain that I would grow old and die before the wives I loved.
I thought it was because it was something I couldn’t do anything about.
However, after my death… I had to have the rights to the land in the first place to avoid any trouble for Ariad.
Then, I can keep Ariad in that position by transferring the rights to one of my children or his wife.
It’s still a long time in the future, but since it will happen someday, it would be better to make sure of it.
“I guess there are a lot of things here that I can’t do anything about on my own. Land… There is a lot of it, but there are also many people who want land separately. “The use of the remaining land has already been planned…”
“I guess so?”
It is said to be a land mass that has expanded a lot due to the merging of multiple dimensions, but most of the expanded Earth is full of places that are uninhabitable for monsters or other reasons, and as a result, people are crowded into the places where they can live, so it is saturated in many ways.
It’s a shame that the land mass has expanded, otherwise people would have had to live apart.
“Oh, now that I think about it…”
Huh?
“It’s not certain, but if Hanzo wants the land, there is no way to obtain it.”
Namgung Muhyul said that as if he was whispering to me.
“By any chance, what do you think of Pyongyang?”
“Uh… There…”
It’s a fucking place.
It is a world where several worlds are combined.
If you think about it, it would be nice to think of it as a combination of several districts.
However, what scholars say is that the multiple worlds that merge due to Dimension Crush, such as parallel worlds, parallel worlds, and alternative worlds, are actually multiple worlds that differentiated from their roots at some point.
It was too difficult for me to understand, but there were many things presented as evidence.
For example, while in the world I lived in, races other than humans were just known as things from fantasy novels, there was a world where such races actually lived, or there were completely different cultures and races living in them, but history was strangely flowing in a similar way, etc. Something like that.
In that way, all the worlds that were merged had many things in common, in addition to being from ‘Earth’.
Anyway, that’s why I knew very well about the land in Pyongyang that Namgung Muhyul was giving me.
As many worlds merged, that land became uninhabitable.
There is something in common, but it does not mean that all worlds are the same.
There were worlds that were already ruined and on the verge of destruction, and there were worlds that were in the process of destruction due to fierce fighting with each other, and there were also many cases where only land and various living things were left behind because they had already been destroyed and there were no people.
As a result, I must say that the neighborhood up there went crazy…
What should I say? In the world where I lived, where there was a lot of this and that, there were many cases of the same chaos on Earth in various dimensions.
Even when I was living, the upper part was a place that was ruined for various reasons, but on Earth in another dimension, there were many cases where the land was completely ruined for various reasons.
If you’re wondering how it was ruined, most of the land up there was not only contaminated with radioactivity, but also infested with all kinds of zombies.
In the case of radioactivity, I’m not sure, but I assume it’s a combination of the lands of a world ruined by nuclear war, and in the case of zombies, they’re created as a replacement for nuclear weapons in a world with magic…
I guess it’s probably the result of something that was playing a similar role as a nuclear explosion exploding.
Anyway, that was it.
If we say that Sacheon, which is famous for being an uninhabitable and rough place, is a land that has been destroyed and polluted by monsters called the Four Evils, then the land above is literally a land that has been ruined from the beginning due to all kinds of pollutants that have crossed over from the dimension.
It was already a ruined land when I came over, so it was abandoned by the world government for at least two years.
I knew it was a land where hunters were dealing with zombies and contaminated monsters that occasionally crossed the border.
But, giving that kind of land…?
Namgung Muhyul, seeing my expression becoming sour, repeatedly wiped my forehead with a handkerchief and said,
“But unless it’s really that kind of land, you probably won’t get permission. In this case, I don’t know if permission will be granted or not… To be honest, it is true that Daehwandan is a valuable elixir, but permission for the land is something else.”
After thinking about Namgung Muhyul’s words for a while, he nodded and spoke.
“I’ll think about it first.”
It was difficult for me to judge on my own in many ways, so I thought I should consult with my wives as well. When I said that, Namgung Muhyul nodded and said to me.
“Yes, then I will also raise a suggestion that if there is an empty lot on the other side, we can give it up.”
“Please do me a favor.”
In the end, all I could receive this time was the title of ‘hero’ and the promise of land rights, but I felt like I had done all I could.
So, I was about to go home again and was texting Lilith that it was all over.
“Sigh…! Sigh…! Ha, Hanzo…!”
When I turned around to see someone calling, Han Yujin was breathing heavily and then she spoke to me.
“I asked you to help Rep. Namgung Muhyul pass away…”
“Oh yeah?”
She didn’t hear back from Lilith, so she tried to contact Hoaran or Justitia separately, but it was a good thing.
“Well, and… If you don’t mind, I could have a meal-“
“No, I have work to do.”
She had to talk about this incident, and more than anything, she wanted to experiment with her magic, so she felt sorry for Yujin Han, but she couldn’t have dinner with him.
More than anything, the meal that Hoa-ran, the person in charge, will prepare for us this evening is more delicious than eating out.
“Is that so…”
Seeing Han Yujin drooping her shoulders, she felt a little sorry and made a promise to eat next time.
I don’t know when the next time will be, but there will be something to eat at some point.
It was a common, pretentious promise, but Han Yu-jin, wearing a hat, spoke with a sigh.
“Then, next time… Definitely…”
“…Yes.”
She had a feeling this was going to be a bit of a bother, but nodded her head for now.
Anyway, I was able to return to the area where my house was by crossing the space transfer door opened by Han Yujin.
“S-Stop…! “I told you to stop…!”
“You’re awake, Cheonmu.”
Cheonmu, who had stood up at Namgung Muhyul’s words, looked around blankly and opened his mouth.
“I-I…Did I lose?”
“Yes, Cheonmu lost in the sparring with Hanzo. Rather, it’s about Cheonmu-nim…”
“Oh, no… I… I must not lose!”
Cheonmu stood up and screamed, “Ah!” He said.
“S-call that damn bastard back! I need to spar again. I won’t lose this time…! “I won’t let my guard down this time.”
Namgung Muhyul, who was looking at Cheonmu who was shouting hysterically like that with narrowed eyes, soon opened his mouth.
“It’s already too late. “Cheonmu’s sister-in-law has come to visit.”
“S-samae…? “It’s not the death penalty, it’s death…?”
It was when Cheonmu, whose face turned white at Namgung Muhyul’s words, muttered like that.
Namgung Muhyul said as he heard the knock, knock, knock on the outside of the door.
“Please come in.”
“Excuse me. Rep. Namgung Muhyul.”
Then, a woman who claimed to be Cheonmu’s sister came in.
Like Cheonmu, the woman dressed in black robes had the word 天 engraved on her clothes.
“You, you… You…”
“I heard the story. Execution. “I was waiting to deliver Master’s message.”
“Oh, not yet! “I haven’t lost yet…!”
“No, I have already lost the death penalty. And… It’s already done. “I told you, I was waiting to deliver Master’s message.”
Cheonmu, who was meditated by the woman’s words, muttered.
“Has this… Already reached Master’s ears…?”
“Yes, so please accept it. We have many opportunities to fight among ourselves, but we only suffer external defeat once. Don’t you already know? “That’s why he took the opportunity and became Master’s best disciple.”
Cheonmoo bites his lip, sighing.
Namgung Muhyul, who was watching Cheonmu like that, thought as he looked at Cheonmu’s sister.
‘It seems the Heavenly Demon is still the same.’
Two years ago, when the world was still in full chaos, I remembered the Heavenly Demon that I had seen when I was also wandering aimlessly in that chaotic world.
‘You are very talented. But I’m too old. ‘It’s a shame.’
It was a very confusing world.
As all the worlds merged, I got goosebumps all over my body when I met the Heavenly Demon who had killed countless monsters and was sitting on top of them in a rough terrain infested with all kinds of monsters.
It had to be that way.
On the surface, the inner strength felt by the Cheonma, who looked like a girl who would not have lived even half of her life, was so enormous that it could not possibly be seen as that of a human being.
‘But, since this is also fate, I will give you a gift. ‘I don’t need it anyway.’
“Kwajik,” Said the Cheonma, who cut off the head of the monster he had killed and threw it to him.
‘It’s the first time you’ve seen a spirit creature, but it has a lot of energy, so eat it. And in the future, if you have children, bring them to me. If you have outstanding talent, I will nurture it. Looking at your talent, I am sure your child will excel as well, so it will be worthwhile raising him.’
I never thought that the girl who said that back then would later become one of the twenty-two heroes called the Heavenly Demon.
But, I understood.
He was so strong that it would have been strange if someone like him had not been included in the list of twenty-two heroes.
It was a Heavenly Demon so huge that there was no way to know its extent.
And that may be the reason why he is still unmarried and single.
That’s right, just as Cheonmu is still trembling with fear, that’s what Cheonma is doing now.
Gather all the talented people, take them as disciples, fight among themselves, fight and compete with each other, picking and choosing…
I had already heard rumors of the Heavenly Demon doing this to his disciples as if he was creating loneliness for humans.
That means not having children.
Because of the words of the Heavenly Demon, who told me to bring my children if I ever had them.
It wasn’t because he lost his hair and couldn’t find a woman.
“…No! Master can’t do that…! There’s no way you can abandon me… Me! Get out of the way, Maehyang! “I personally tell the teacher-“
When I saw Cheonmu stand up and grab his sword, he didn’t move again.
Because there was no need for that anyway.
“Excuse me, death penalty.”
Kwajik, he struck the back of Cheonmu’s hand with the entire scabbard, and aimed Maehyang at his neck… No.
“Now my name is ‘Cheonmaehyang.’ Please don’t make that mistake again. ‘No’ death penalty. “Master told me to inform you that the title of hero and public status that your brother was supposed to receive has now been transferred to me, so please go back and train again.”
I didn’t know why the Heavenly Demon gathered only talented people and did that.
I didn’t even want to know in the first place.
I didn’t even want to think about the intentions of the Heavenly Demon, who had over a thousand disciples and was willing to bite each other whenever the opportunity arose.
“Then, Rep. Namgung Muhyul. “There are still many things I don’t know, so I’m not good at it, but I ask for your guidance in the future.”
“Yes… Well, I will ask you to take care of me from now on.”
In response to the words of Maehyang, or rather, the woman who is now a thousand years old, speaking with a smile that was obviously made up, Namgung Muhyul said that while wiping her forehead with her handkerchief.
