Chapter 209 – Laughter of Martial Arts
“That’s right. If he was Sejak, who was supported by the Demonic Cult, the Demonic Cults would have supported the dojo behind the scenes. Then wouldn’t that explain everything?”
“Hmm…”
Jin Cheon-Hwi, the leader of the Blue Dragon Dangju, is worried about something without relaxing his expression. After thinking about it for a while, he struggles to open his mouth.
“It’s strange. It’s strange.”
Seong-il unintentionally attracted more attention from the Moorim Meng. He originally intended to take advantage of him by wandering around his hidden places, but he had to revise all his plans because of his alter ego.
‘It hurts…’
Almost a month since I inevitably wandered around every corner of Shaanxi.
Seong-il and his party had to follow the traces left by the alter ego as clues.
“Ha…”
“Why? Young master?”
Eun-wol, who was eating at a nearby inn, asks Seong-il, who sighs, holding the memory jewel left by the alter ego. To her, Seong-il starts her explanation with a bitter smile.
“This guy’s really bad taste is no joke.”
“…What is it?”
“Now, G puts the memories of the women of mixed flesh into jewelry and gives me an indirect experience?!”
“…Experience? Isn’t it spectacle?”
“Yes. Surprisingly, it’s an experience!! Maybe it’s because he’s from my split soul, so when I go into the memories left behind by the alter ego in the jewel, I feel as if the alter ego is me.”
“Hmm… So it’s no different than mixing real flesh?”
“!!”
Eun-wol secretly opens a judo newspaper to Seong-il. Seong-il, in this case, if she answered without thinking, she would get angry and realize through several experiences that it would be difficult to relieve her mind, so she desperately made excuses.
“Ah!! That’s speculation!! I mean it’s just such a vivid feeling…”
“…That’s Okay.”
“Okay…”
When Seong-il, who has become embarrassed, is thinking about what to make of her excuse, she picks up something from the first floor and talks to the two of them.
“Ah, have you checked your memory, Young master?”
Seong-il tries to lighten her mood at the words of the sex demon, and she quickly changes the subject and talks to him.
“Yes! This guy is…”
“Okay…”
For a long time, Seong-Il listened to Seong-Il about her alter ego. He sighs after hearing the explanation.
“Are you trying to decide the outcome this time?”
“Yes. Through a total of three matches, if you win only two, they will just calmly catch you.”
“Um…But what exactly is the match?”
Fortunately, it seems that changing the topic worked. Eun-wol, who was by her side, let go of her bright expression and was interested in it.
“The first is to steal the Jangbodo hidden inside the Heavenly Dragon Field.”
“The second one is the winner of the person who shares the contents of Jang Bo-do and arrives at the destination quickly.”
“The last thing is to secure the items inside the eastern part that are hidden based on the jangbodo.”
“Hmm… What the hell is that ‘thing’?
“There? There’s nothing special? Low-level Hidden Dungeon… No, it’s just an ordinary Beecher, so there’s nothing special about being hidden…”
The place the alter ego said this time is a special place that you can go to during the second playthrough. If the secret place you went to in the previous small faction can receive offensive martial arts and weapons, the place is where you can get money and some useful trinkets. This was
‘Hmm… I knew it wasn’t a place that was very helpful when playing the game… Did I miss something?’
In the beginning, if you only get the Black Slayer and the Breaking Sword at the starting point, the game difficulty is extremely low, so you can also play Cheonryong Battlefield Jangbo, which is mostly passed during the second play.
Seeing the alter ego designate a specific place and compete for victory, it must have been something special, but it was difficult for Seongil to understand the alter ego’s intentions.
‘…All that’s there are a huge amount of hermits, a blood poison that makes you immortal, and two strange bracelets that give you the ability to call shadows to block the enemy’s view and escape?’
Of course, poisoning wine and bracelets aren’t bad, but that doesn’t mean it’s a huge tragedy, so Seong-il tries to figure out the intentions of the alter ego.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, nothing came to mind, so he sighed and started discussing the alter ego with his party.
“Haa… I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but we should do what he says, right?”
“Well, is there a way? Judging from the situation, it seems we have no choice.”
“Ehh…”
As Seong-il sighs in frustration, Eun-wol begins to speak as if to soothe him.
“Young master, don’t be too hard on yourself. The alter ego, which could have been in trouble for up to a year, gave it a chance after a little over a month.”
“Is that so? This crazy guy wandered around Shaanxi and did all sorts of crazy things… Did he get tired of it right away?”
“Whoa… Maybe so? Recently, Guido’s madness of doing a lot of bizarre things in Xi’an and Shaanxi Province is very famous, isn’t it?”
At Eunwol’s words, Saekma also nodded in sympathy.
“It was really amazing. Not only did he steal all kinds of gold and silver treasures for two months, but he also messed around with this one-of-a-kind beauty! “
Finally, when he says his ‘former man’, Saekma continues his conversation with a very displeased expression.
“It’s not about taking a woman forcibly!! It’s about stealing a woman’s heart!!”
‘…You’re talking nonsense.’
Seong-il, who listened to Saekma, Mi-Woon-Jung and Go-Woon-Jung, did not want to say something unpleasant to him, but when he said something absurd, he unknowingly puts on a look of absurdity.
Perhaps noticing his expression, Eun-wol calls out to her with an annoyed voice.
“Have you stopped talking bullshit and done everything you were told to do?”
“I don’t know the taste… Oh! Lord… You’re even going to raise your fist…!!”
When Eun-wol raised her fist with a cold gaze and glared at herself, the sack horse flinched, and meekly lowered her tail and began to follow her words.
“Wow… I’ve been doing some research for sure, but recently someone has started following us.”
“Haa… Who is it? Blood Religion?”
“It’s not blood ties. If it were them, even if we didn’t have a blood link, wouldn’t they have attacked us with a life-or-death to catch the young master?”
“Then…”
“Wouldn’t it be Murimmaeng?”
“Hmm…”
Eun-wol also nodded her head in agreement with Saekma’s reasoning after a long time.
“Even though that bug usually talks nonsense. I think you’re right this time, Master Young master.”
“…Do you think so?”
“Isn’t that so? Young master said that he was careful, but he might have been pointed out as a suspect who might have stolen the treasure of blood anyway!”
“But…”
Seong-il’s plan, which was enough to give reason for suspicion, as he escaped from the Murim Meng and thoroughly hid his whereabouts and moved around in an eerie way. As Seong-il himself actually planned it with that in mind, he thinks it can be done.
‘…Fuck, that’s why I tried to go around hiding my tracks with a portal ring.’
He feels a lot of headache. After thinking for a while, he began to explain his plan to his party.
“Haa… Since it happened like this, I just hide with my alter ego until after the promised three days.”
“Yeah…?! Can I still do that?”
“Yes, I just do the field trip, and the rest hides in the Inner Plain. And then I come out on the appointed date…”
“Eh? If it’s the Cheonryong Battlefield, it’s the best battlefield in North China, and it’s Moorim Sega, so the defense will be strict… It’s impossible to attack without any special preparation, right? But let’s just hide?!”
Seong-il smiles at the words of Saekma and begins to answer him.
“Do I really need to win?”
“…?”
Eun-wol and Saek-ma with expressions as if they were talking bullshit. Seong-il smiled at them and explained his thoughts.
“It’s a match of 3 rounds anyway. Losing the first round doesn’t mean you don’t have a chance to make up for it, right?”
“Hmm… What do you mean…?”
“Yes, I’ll just give you the first edition.”
“…Really?”
When Seong-il tells him to give the first plate to Saek-ma, Eun-wol makes a face that she can’t understand. To her, her seongil sighs lightly and continues her words.
“We are currently in a situation where the Murim League and the Demonic Cult… No, the huge forces called Blood Religion are attracting attention. In such a situation, robbing places like the Battlefield of the Celestial Dragon to attract attention? This is just ‘Please look at us.’ It has nothing to do with what you do.”
“Hmm…”
“So, why don’t we just give up the first match? It’s enough to win the second or third game. And…”
“…And?”
“Without being dragged around, we have already moved to the second location.”
“Yes?!”
Eun-wol and Saek-ma are taken aback when they are told to move directly to the location where Seong-il is written on Jangbo-do. Seong-il starts talking to them with a playful expression.
“Have you forgotten who I am? That I am someone who can read the heavenly spirit?”
“Ah!!”
In fact, the short words of Seongil declaring that he knows the location of Dongbu, which has already been recorded in Jangbodo. Because of this, they look at him with a very respectful gaze.
‘…In the first place, all the locations are recorded in the strategy book, so why do I need a secret map?’
Seong-il decides to use his little brains to conclude the second match in advance, making it 1:1, and at the same time drop the pursuit of the Murim Meng.
To that exquisite decision, the party nodded their heads and agreed, and they smiled and tried to escape to the inner plane along Seongil.
“Oh right!”
“…?”
Seong-il’s party approached him thinking he was moving to the Inner Plane, but when Seong-il suddenly said something, they were puzzled.
“…If you just leave, you’ll be sad, so why don’t we play some pranks on your alter ego?”
“Yeah? What are you playing?”
At Eun-wol’s words, Seong-il put on a very playful expression and explained something, and the party looked at him with an absurd expression at his opinion.
“…Really would you do that?”
“Yeah. Considering that bastard has fucked us up until now, we should do this much.”
“Well… Then, if the alter ego is wrong…”
“No, he’s not an ordinary being, so he’ll definitely be able to overcome this level. He’s the one who challenged me to go alone to rob a huge battlefield and Moorim Sega without any companions, even though he had abilities similar to mine in the first place. I’m sure he was. It can be overcome.”
“Well… It could be.”
Eun-wol agreed with Seong-il’s words with a slightly confused expression, and Seong-il patted her on the back and said,
“Just trust me!”
“Ha…”
They prepared a trick for the first match to be held three days later, and when the preparations were roughly finished, Seong-il delivered the prepared strategy book to the party.
“This is a hidden place listed in Jangbodo.”
“Ohh…! Is this the same technique as the one used to find the house of the blind god?”
“Yeah..Well, that’s right.”
“Ohhh!! Do you even know what’s inside?”
“Yes. I know. Nevertheless, I don’t know what the clone’s intentions are. There’s nothing special there.”
“Hmm…”
Seong-il explains the items inside to the puzzled Saemaul. OK…
“Hmm… I’m sure I’m curious. I know the stuff inside is pretty good, but why did they film it…”
“Well, once you go, you’ll understand, right? Elder Saxon. First of all, the plan to fuck your alter ego is complete, so let’s go to the secret east side written on the Jangbodo in advance. If I memorize the place, as soon as I start the first match with the portal ring, I’ll go to the east right away. Moving on, we can prepare for the second fight.”
“Ah… I understand what you mean! You’re smart, aren’t you?”
“Yes. And after the field trip, let’s come to Xi’an right away.”
“Ah, in order to execute that plan…?”
“There’s also that, and I’m trying to get rid of the Murimmaeng. They won’t imagine that we can teleport, so I’m going to reassure them here and then get them off. In case of a second match, we have to block the variables that will arise because of them.”
“Ah!! You’re right. If you do as Young master said, you can take advantage of the alter ego, drive out the Murim Meng who are now spying on us, and be one step ahead in fighting the alter ego, so it’s three birds with one stone!”
“Hehe… That’s right!”
That’s how they started to explore the place of the second match, and as soon as the exploration is over, they spend time peacefully in an inn in Xi’an.
