Chapter 7 – 7. I Became a Swordsman’s Disciple.
Wearing the Murimmaeng warrior uniform given to me by the branch manager, I returned to the office as a tall and handsome man. Her blonde hair and light brown skin made her unique, but her beauty was not hidden. The appearance that changed to this jade face ball was indeed that of Gyeongguk. If I spend my growth period with my face changed to a jade face ball, it hardens into my real face, so it can be said that it is my real face in the end.
Returning with normal clothes and simple makeup, I could feel the admiration of the branch manager and swordsman. Is this the treatment a handsome man can receive?
If I hadn’t worn a cheongsam or something, the branch manager might have been more kind to me.
“Looking at it this way, you’re a completely different person.”
“No, that cheongsam you gave me.”
“…”
Swordsman who couldn’t even get his money’s worth is silent. The branch manager stared at me as if lighting a fire in his eyes, but he ignored it and got to the point. His seat was next to the sword.
“Then I’ll talk about it again. As you can see, I’m very good at hiding my energy. That’s why I was able to hide my energy and go around looking for the demonic spectacle without encountering the demon.”
“That’s right. Not only is he the polar opposite, but he’s also skilled at controlling his energy, so he was able to investigate the Demonic Realm so easily.”
“That’s how it is. That’s how I went around looking for a horse racer, and I happened to see a horse racer from afar.”
When he nodded to the convinced branch manager and brought up the story of seeing the Ma Gyeongju, both of them widened their eyes this time. Because the information of Ma Gyeongju was bound to be more important than that moor. When it came to the Red Demon King, most of the Demon Lords were great monsters and had intelligence, so the investigation itself was not that easy. It is difficult to approach, so how can I investigate? So it is not so common for masters to step forward to investigate.
That’s why the information of the demon race and the information of the demon race owner had to be treated differently.
“Have you really seen the Demon Race?”
“Can you tell me something about the demon race?”
Not only the swordsman, but even the branch manager’s courtesy returned. It’s probably a street trying to get information somehow to prevent a victim from happening. Looking at the mindset of worrying about casualties, the branch manager is not a bad person either.
She liked him and explained the horse race.
“Magyeongju is a large bird monster. Like the owner of the demonic realm that reminds us of inferno, it is wrapped in flames, and its large wings give the impression that it is the king of birds. I think that Magyeongju is probably a phoenix, or a shujak called the Four Gods. “
“Probably not the main character.”
The branch manager denied it.
“In the past, there was a case where a white tiger appeared as a Demon King in Xinjiang, and the color of the Demon King at that time was black. If it was the same Four Gods, there was no way that he was the owner of the Red Devil King.”
There was definitely some truth in the branch manager’s refutation based on previous data. But he had the distance to refute his words again for me knowing future information.
“It could be. But if you hear why I was able to escape safely from the demon race runner even from afar, you’ll think it’s really a suzaku.”
“What is the evidence that makes you so sure?”
“I’m sure he must have felt my energy, but Zuzak kept sleeping. But as time passed, I saw that he got bigger and stronger. I wandered inside the demon spectacle for a day, and he kept getting stronger during that short period of time. Probably not long after he was born. It’s unfortunate, but I think he’s sleeping to regain his status as a four-shiner.”
Geomhu and the branch manager’s complexion hardened at my explanation. According to what I said, it meant that the demon races would become stronger as time passed and the red grade demon races would soon turn black. It’s not completely nonsense, but it’s very rare that the demon’s spectacle evolves and the color of the demon’s spectacle changes, but it has happened a few times in the history of Murim.
There are cases where karma is accumulated by killing too many warriors, and the monster evolves and transforms into a stronger monster.
In other words, assuming the current situation on the premise that what I said is true, the demon racer grows in real time and eventually becomes a black demon race, and it was said that at least Hyungyeong could catch it. Even a red one would cause a stir, but the fact that it would soon turn black was something that could lead to a disaster, so the branch manager asked me questioningly with a serious face.
“Sohyeop, if what you say is not true, then you have to take responsibility for causing this situation. Can you take responsibility for your own words?”
“I’ll take responsibility. Since I don’t have a master, I’m going to risk my martial arts, and I think that Demon Racer is one of the Four Gods, Zuzak.”
“Right…”
The branch manager closed his eyes as if he needed some time to think. Even if the swordsman had a higher distribution, he, the head of the Sacheon branch, had to make the decision and make the decision as an officer of the Murim League. The swordsman was also well aware of that fact, so he seemed to be willing to wait patiently until the branch manager’s accident was sorted out.
I also hope that the branch manager will make a wise decision. If it wasn’t so, I wouldn’t be able to change the fate of the swordsman dying. No, I might be able to change it if I overdo it, but if I do, all future plans will be distorted.
After a short period of half an angle, the branch manager opened his eyes again, and there was a glint in his eyes.
“I’ll ask you one thing. Do you think that the Ma Racecourse will turn black when it finishes growing?”
“Yes. Just from what I felt, it’s because I’ve grown from the level of entry level to full maturity in just one day. Judging by the current time, I may have reached the extreme point of my hwagyeong. Tomorrow, I may reach the entry level of hyeon-gyeong.”
I’m saying this based on what I experienced myself, so it was real. 〈Firebird’s Nest〉 The Demon Racer, Zuzak, is also called the Phoenix, because when he dies of old age, he is resurrected as a new life, and while he is asleep, he quickly regains the power he accumulated in his previous life. So it’s not unusual to see rapid growth.
“Then, we must form a hunting team with a group of Hwagyeongs as soon as possible. If we work hard, we will be able to recruit one more Hwagyeong master, including the swordsman, by tomorrow.”
“Is there such a person?”
“There is a Baekdo Jinin of the Qingsheng sect who just visited Maeng. He is a rare person of integrity and innocence, and has recently been criticized by the Qingsong sect, which has a secular situation. Stopped by our branch for that.”
“Isn’t it the Moorimmaeng branch, not the inn?”
“Because you are friends with me.”
This man, surprisingly, his feet were wide. It was surprising just to have a friendship with a swordsman, but to take a break at the Moorimmaeng branch just because they were friends with such a master. We should get along well in the future.
If you become close, you might have a way to ask a master across the bridge for help when you need it. If I had known it would be like this, I would not have bought hate in such a radical way earlier.
“The problem is that we need three Hwagyeong masters, but there aren’t any around here.”
“I see. Tangga, Amipa, and Qingshengpa all take two days to go, considering the round trip. Even if you run to exhaustion, it’s meaningless if you don’t have the energy to fight the Ma Racecourse. I’m still worried about it.”
“In that sense, I have something to ask you. Didn’t you say that you can roam around the demonic world as you like because you’re the polar opposite?”
I know what you’re asking for.
“You’re asking me to act as a member of the hunting team.”
“That’s right. Even considering the fact that it was a surprise attack, he showed the number of days he could overpower the swordsman and me at that age. Sohyeop, who doesn’t even need to fight for self-defence, has excellent skills in controlling the spirit, so it’s sure to be of help to the two of you. I think. What do you think?”
“If you do one favor, I will join the hunting team.”
“What is that? I’ll tell you in advance, but I’ll ask for something that’s possible in my line.”
The head of the Sichuan branch draws a line in advance. I wasn’t shameless enough to ask him for the impossible.
“I have suffered internal injuries because I bumped into a youkai a few times in the Demon Realm. The internal injuries are still there, so I need medicine or a skilled doctor.”
“Did he subdue me with internal injuries? That’s amazing.”
Beside him, Geomhu opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in admiration. However, it was possible because the goal was to subdue, so there was no way to live, and it was possible because the young boy’s martial arts would end like this at this age.
If you ask me to do it again, it will be impossible.
My request was natural, so the branch manager nodded.
“I thought he was wearing an internal wound. I didn’t know. I got it. I have a summons, and I’ll give it to So-hyeop.”
“Yes? Do you have a summons from the Shaolin Temple?”
“That’s right. I’m in a friendly relationship with the elder of Shaolin Temple, Monk Beopjeong, and he gave me a summons saying it’s good for recovery because my eyes look tired.”
“…”
I seriously doubted the identity of the branch manager. After the sword, the Qingsheng faction master, and even the Shaolin temple elder, how should I treat this king of personal connections? If he had been a little more violent and had a grudge against my means, he would have asked the masters close to him to beat my endorsement.
‘I almost fell behind.’
Next time, I’ll have to look into it a little more and decide whether or not to use my hands. It was the moment when I felt the cold sweat running down my back.
