Chapter 251 – Are You Dissatisfied?
“It seems like the palace misunderstood something.”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s a misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding.”
“But what is that misunderstanding? “I’m very curious.”
“Ugh! “Don’t stare at me like that~”
It’s a shame.
Gungseong’s voice was so full of shame that I couldn’t help but think of that one word.
Despite his energetic appearance, is his personality more introverted?
Oh my…
Who is that girl? Is this the palace I know?
You really went to one room. That went perfectly well.
Looking at the reactions of those around me, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
The 10 Saints who were captured together were talking enthusiastically, forgetting their own situation, and the gentle Sword Saint was staring at the palace with his mouth open in a daze.
‘Well, even if the rumors are half true, I’m definitely not an introvert.’
Because of the power that the Empire’s 10 castles had, no matter what they did, they tended to become anecdotes and spread widely, and in the case of palaces, when they appeared, they inevitably made unconventional moves, so there were many particularly related anecdotes among the 10 castles.
Among them, the most widely known anecdote is the incident in which aristocratic children were targeted.
Gungseong spends most of his time deep in the mountains, but sometimes he comes down from the mountains to change his mood and enjoy the world.
The incident begins as usual with Gungseong coming down the mountain to change his mood and going to see a circus that just happened to be open.
Although the stunts performed in the circus were not that surprising after reaching the highest level, the people’s cheers were contagious, and I enjoyed the circus quite happily.
After such a pleasant change of pace, I was about to return to the mountain, but the children of the nobles who had come to see the circus began to criticize me and criticize me as soon as the circus was over.
It would have been nice to end it with that, but the nobles ordered the women who came to see the circus to serve them drinks.
Unfortunately, Gungseong was also among those women.
Instead of revealing his identity, the angry royal palace beat up the noble children and their guards without question and answer.
And then…
-Isn’t it fun? Then I’ll make it fun.
They were tied tightly with rope and lined up in front of the wall on one side of the stage.
After that, he took a few steps back and picked up the bow and arrows used in the stunt.
-Seo, really?
-From what I see, the reason you find the circus boring is that you just watch it. So, let’s experience it for ourselves.
– Lord, I want to die! If even a single hair of ours gets hurt, the lord will definitely kill you!
-Don’t worry. Even so, I am confident in one thing: shooting an archery. I won’t let a single hair get hurt. Of course, it also gives me a thrill I’ve never felt before.
The palace said with a grin and fired an arrow.
Surprisingly, the arrows hit the noble children’s limbs all over, but did not reach their bodies, just a hair’s breadth away.
It is said that the people who were watching the scene with anxiety at the extraordinary feat burst into cheers, and the noble children and their guards were so moved by the thrilling experience that they broke their pants.
In addition, there were many unconventional anecdotes, such as an elf getting angry at an elf’s assertion that he was the best hunter and hitting the elf on the head with an arrow, or having a lake all to himself because he liked the lake on the private property of a noble family.
Judging from such anecdotes, Gungseong was by no means an introverted personality.
On the contrary, he must be self-willed and hot-tempered.
Glimpse
“Ugh! Sigh! “Don’t look at me~”
Her face was bright red, and she was quietly lowering her face.
The reason was immediately apparent when I looked at his eyes her, which constantly glanced at Jun’s her face her even though he could not bear to look at them.
‘For some reason, the attack was lifeless. It was too easy to faint.’
Palace.
She was a genius among geniuses who rose to the orange level even though she was just a hunter and only learned third-rate mental techniques.
Even if she was in the worst shape and her compatibility she wasn’t very good, would she be able to do anything and fall down in one go?
No, there will be no change in her victory or defeat her, but in her original form, she would have had to go through all kinds of hardships to defeat her.
Haha! The angry cat has finally found its owner!”
“Shut up!”
“No, I don’t know that. How big is the age difference? You heard it from William. That kid is only 16 years old. In contrast, the palace…”
“Tao Seong (刀聖), are you going to kill or die? Huh?”
“I guess age isn’t the only issue. Even though the palace has a decent base, it is not beautiful. On the other hand, look at the women next to that child. They all beautifully decorate the original edition, which is excellent. “I’m angry, but she’s more beautiful than me.”
“You bastard, I know that!”
“If you want, I’ll introduce you to the madams who control the back world. If you learn a few of the skills they teach, you will be able to easily bake and boil a boy as young as 16. Or, you could hand over a medicine that is said to make even dragons go into heat. What is it like? Do you want it?”
“… Fuck. “Please shut up!”
Following Bu-seong, the bandit king, Do-seong, a wandering swordsman, Pyeon-seong (鞭聖), an imperial earl and a patient with severe prince’s disease, and Dok-seong (毒聖), the head of an assassination group, took turns making fun of Gung-seong.
Gung-seong, who was very angry at him, was about to go on a rampage, but the man immediately suppressed his anger after hearing Do-seong say that he hated violent women.
There was no way the remaining 10 stars would just pass by after seeing that.
They burst into laughter again, like uncles teasing their younger sister.
“Big. Let’s stop making small talk and have a real conversation. Isn’t it true that people with 10 castles in the empire are just trying to hand over the money without paying the ransom?”
It was a very nice sight, but now was not the time for such a joke.
There is no particular hostility now, but not long ago, they were enemies pointing spears and knives.
It must have been attached to William for some reason, but they had no intention of taking that into account and releasing it.
So present it quickly. If you want to be released from hostage.
“Tsk. “I thought it would be nice to throw a few acids and ran, but I ended up only losing money.”
“That’s right. Oh, by the way, I decided to get some elixirs. I feel a little weak these days. “Gungseong and you?”
“… Bow. Made by ears.”
“I’m sure I don’t know how to use a bow, but the skills of making bows are better than those of the pudgy guys.”
Do-seong, who nodded, then asked the same question to Pyeon and Tok-sik, and Pyeon-sung answered that he would receive an elixir to maintain youth, and Do-seong would receive a certain share of the underworld managed by the Armstrong family.
When they found out about the rewards they both received, Father cried out excitedly as if he had remembered something.
“Wait for a sec. Now I see that the person who loses the most from this is me! Capital, palace, formation, you have already received compensation and there is no need to worry about it being taken away as it is personal, and since the Armstrong family has completely collapsed this time, you can swallow it up instead of receiving a share! But me!”
Father, who shouted like that, looked desperate and begged for the restraints to be loosened.
When I let him go, wondering what to do, he immediately went into his pocket, took out a piece of paper, and thrust it at Geomseong.
“Mr. Geom Seong-hyung, this is a contract that states that the Armstrong family will give me the mountain. Does it still take effect even if the Armstrong family goes bankrupt? Huh?”
Geomseong could not ignore that desperate action.
I received the contract and examined it carefully to make sure it was effective. But for some reason, his expression wasn’t very good.
“… Even if the family falls apart, the contract remains in effect. However, I don’t think that is the case with the agreement written in this contract.”
“Why? Why? “It’s because I’m an uneducated bandit, sir!”
“Calm down. It’s not because you’re a bandit. It’s just a contractual issue. If the acid that the Armstrong family had decided to give you was the Armstrong family’s, it would have taken effect normally, but unfortunately, the acid that they decided to give you is not theirs. It is a mountain under the direct control of the imperial family, and it seems they made the contract on the premise that they would win.”
“Well, that means…”
“This contract is invalid, and this contract is just a piece of paper.”
Geomseong reminded him of the cold reality and handed a contract, or rather a piece of paper, to Buseong.
Bu-seong opened his mouth blankly and took it.
And soon,
“Hey, hey, you bastard!!!”
He rushed towards William, who was still unconscious.
“Oh my. You can’t do that.”
Jun couldn’t hold back his anger and felt like he was going to turn William into a mush, so he quickly put William back in Dowonhyang.
It didn’t matter what happened to his life, but he still had work left to do.
“So just be patient. “I will help you relieve your anger even after your errands are over.”
“Whew~. You shouldn’t mess with other people’s loot. Especially if you are a bandit. I understand, trust me and wait.”
“Yes, please wait. So what will you give me as ransom?”
“… Can you please take a look? “I cheated.”
The father looks as pitiful as possible.
Jun said to him.
That’s that and this is this.
