Chapter 150 – Bifurcation Point (2)
“Whoa…”
Taking a long breath, he withdrew his hand from President Dok-go-pae’s prestigious blood. Prestigious blood. It was such a dangerous bloodline that I could even assassinate President Dokgopae right away if I had my heart set on it. They are called academy cadets, but they were given to Protestants. The distribution of President Dokgopae was also unusual.
After finishing the fight, I sat down facing President Dokgopae. He said with a gentle smile.
“How is it?”
“All at once is a bunch. However, it is thought that it is possible to complete Haeju if you take your time carefully. First of all, I’ve removed it from the line where it’s not too difficult to the level that is possible right away, so if you circulate the true energy…”
Uuuuu can’t possible able to able to able to take a look at the body of the body of the president of the body of the body of the body of the body of the body of the body of the body of the body of the body. After a moment of luck, President Dok-go-pae widened his eyes.
“…It’s a knight. No one even thought to touch the Void Dragon’s curse.”
It may be because it has the same origin as the Yeoui Jewel in my body. I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth. In the first place, Yeuiboju only helped, but the core was the Heavenly Demon Art. It was possible to break the curse thanks to the absolute supernatural ability that stood above all the energy of heaven and earth.
“Once the erosion of the curse would have stopped. Rather, it would have been reduced. It might be possible to drive it out completely within a few months.”
President Dokgo Pae raised his arm. The erosion was so severe that it could be seen through the veins, but he stepped back a little.
“I am the horse.”
Covering his sleeves again, President Dokgopae held up a steaming cup of tea. Then he calmly took a sip and spoke again.
“Before I die, I wanted to achieve something. Will go down in history forever. Buryuni obsessed with the fame and achievements of being a warrior. I was also a soldier who couldn’t help it by birth. So, naturally, my heart became impatient.”
“I understand.”
“I wanted to burn the few remaining lives to clear up the midfield and regain it. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but your master promised to be with you.”
“You mean my master?”
“…Originally, you’re the one who stopped me from washing my face with gold dust this year.”
Another mystery has been released. President Dokgo Pae shook his head. Dizziness flowed from her eyes, which were deeper than before.
“Geji was a maniac who couldn’t let go of his obsession even at this age. It seems that my blurred eyes are now opening. That the living people who are currently enjoying life on this land are more important than the dying land. It’s really really funny and ugly, isn’t it? I think I can live a little longer thanks to you, so now I’m thinking like this.”
“…No. You are a great giant who supports the Baekdo faction. It has always been, and it will be in the future.”
I said it with sincerity. In a political faction that even few people properly trust, the person who could definitely entrust his back was Dok-go-pae president. In fact, the same goes for Musinje, and he did everything he could to do despite his poor physical condition.
President Dokgo Pae, who was looking at me with deep-seated eyes, grabbed his fist with his right hand and covered it with his left hand. It was not a bowing ceremony like a usual greeting, but a bow handing ceremony to show respect to the opponent. Then he lowered his head slightly. Feeling hopeless, I did the same.
“The mother of Dokgo’s family has been put on a lifesaving gift from a scholar of the Heavenly Demon Church. Since this is a debt of life, I will not refuse any request as long as it does not go against the agreement. I just hope that the scholars of the Protestant religion will be well aware of it.”
“No. It’s not even over yet, but it seems like an example is too much.”
Anyway, today was just the beginning. The terrible curse encroaching on President Dokgopae’s body was not something that could be relieved in a short period of time. If he was forced out, his body wouldn’t be able to withstand it. There is less harm if you take your time slowly.
“Anyway.”
President Dokgo Pae opened his mouth with a slightly relaxed expression.
“You can tell me anytime, if you have a request. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever done anything wrong with asking you. There is no reason for me to refuse.”
“All right.”
“Come to think of it, I heard you’re visiting the Seomun family today?”
“Yes. It is.”
“Hmm.”
“Are there any problems?”
Dokgo Pae, who stroked his chin, said quietly.
“Rather than a problem, it’s because your family is a bit peculiar. Although it is limited to the direct line. In a way, the current Murim Lord is a heretic. I don’t think I’m talking about it here, but you’ll know it when you see it yourself. Wouldn’t it be fun to say everything?”
“…All right.”
“I see you came soon. Let me go. The old man took up too much time.”
“No. Then we will see you again soon.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
President Dokgopae gave a congratulatory order with a big smile. I stepped out of the building. Before I knew it, I saw a familiar black vehicle approaching this way.
It was a vehicle belonging to the Seomun family that I had often used. Munse Seo opened the car door when the employees recognized me approaching.
“Hi.”
As soon as I boarded, a beautiful girl with silver eyes greeted me from the seat next to me.
“Uh, hello.”
I also answered awkwardly. It was like that every time, but it was still a bit delicate relationship with him. Every time we met, we just repeated this greeting.
“…”
“…”
It was the same as before, even keeping their mouths shut without speaking to each other. The vehicle moved smoothly and left the academy. Preface Yerin stared blankly out of her window, then she glanced at me and then repeated.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“No.”
The conversation was interrupted again.
“Do you know what you invited me for?”
“…I don’t know everything.”
An invitation without a word. Either one. Either it’s a secret thing, or it’s just for friendship. I was interested in the family of the Murim Lord, so I readily accepted.
“That’s it. You’ll find out anyway.”
As the master said, the Cheonma Shinkyo were the ones who managed the world, and friendship with the Baekdo faction was also important in the current world. It was an era that required cooperation rather than hostility.
“What would you like to drink?”
While rummaging through the refrigerator in her car, Seomun Yerin took out one of her cans.
“Anything is fine. Not. Except for anything too sweet.”
“Isn’t it sweet?”
“Uh. Not sweet.”
I had taken it roughly before and was shocked by the sweetness that seemed to burn my tongue. It’s not a monkey, so you can’t be beaten twice. She pondered for a moment at the preface Yerin, who pursed her brow slightly, then took out a green drink. She was a drink that smelled like pine.
“…I’m sorry that I seem to be covering it from the receiving side, but is there really anything other than this?”
Rather than not actually being sweet… It was more like an indescribable taste. It was the same that it wasn’t to my taste.
“Then this.”
Only then did she pull out a regular energy drink.
‘If there is such a thing, wouldn’t it be right to give it out first?’
The words almost came out of my mouth, but I held back. There was no malice on his face at all. He really seemed to think I’d prefer that pine needle-flavored drink. I don’t know what my image is to him anymore.
“Thank you.”
“Yes.”
Preface Yerin nodded her head slightly. I don’t know why, but I could clearly see that Seomun Yerin was satisfied.
As I sipped my drink and opened the window slightly, the salty sea breeze began to blow through the cold winter wind. Before long, the signboard came into view along with the huge front gate of the Seomun family.
Seomunse Family.
The fact that it was written in Haeseo style without spilling an inch seemed to indicate the family’s personality.
The home of Seomunse, one of the most prestigious families in the Baekdo political faction, is located near Songdo, off the coast of Incheon. It is said that they made reclaimed land with their own power and used a very large site as their main house.
The roads and buildings were built without even a single error. Even the appearance was almost uniform, a kind of tenacity was felt.
‘Is there a reason why his personality has become like this?’
I heard that it was not easy to secure a large site near the metropolitan area, so they built their home on reclaimed land. I even heard such reasonable doubts.
Before going to the reception building as scheduled. Hundreds of unmanned people were lined up on both sides of the road.
“Jecheondae?”
There were quite a few faces I had seen before, including Seomunwon-gil.
“Yes. Because it is a place to welcome benefactors. Originally, I was going to gather all the people from Sega and start with the entrance. I objected. I don’t think you’ll like it.”
“Well done. It’s a bit burdensome.”
“Yes.”
Widely. When I got out of the car, there was a huge cloud of footsteps like Jin-Gak.
Thump thump-
“Seomunse Jecheondae sees his benefactor!”
It was along with the sword ceremony, lifting the sword up to the chest with both hands reciprocally. When I looked at the front in an awkward mood, the Murim lord approached this way with a long sword behind his back.
“Welcome. Seomunse is the chief, Seomunjeongcheon.”
The leader, not the Murim lord. It was a word that prioritized the position in the family. I responded politely with a hug.
“I am Mu-gong Kim of the Heavenly Demon Church.”
“The Lord is waiting for you, come here.”
Follow the directions and enter the building. The inside was as clean as the outside. The aesthetics of moderation were seen rather than splendor. But it didn’t look empty or missing, it seemed that he had put a lot of effort into it.
I entered the spacious reception room with the Murim lord and Yerin Seomun. I saw a neat man, dressed in pure white without a single blemish.
‘Seomun Yerin’s father.’
Seomun Seju Seomun Yulcheon.
He stared at my face, then slowly parted his lips.
“It is harmonious. Great.”
“…?”
At the unexpected words, I opened my mouth awkwardly without saying hello.
