Chapter 258 – Are You Dissatisfied?
When the warm yet embarrassing situation calmed down, Jun opened the entrance to Dowonhyang.
This was not the first time they had gone to capture or punish a person of interest like this, so Geomseong, Doseong, and Gungseong immediately stepped into the entrance as if they were used to it.
-This! This beast is real!
“Yikes.”
Immediately, a shouting sound of a mixture of shame, anger, and disappointment was heard from beyond the entrance.
It seemed like he had discovered the wives taking a sweet post-sex nap in the bedroom with his clairvoyance.
Having spent her childhood alone with her grandfather in the mountains, Gungseong was surprisingly gentle despite her fierce temper.
It seemed like another storm of nagging would arise if things continued like this, so Jun quickly closed the entrance to Dowonhyang.
Even if you do that, you won’t be able to avoid the storm of nagging in the palace, but at that time, you will handle it on your own, so there is no need to worry.
Me at that time, fighting!
“Then let’s go.”
After internally cheering for his future self, Jun silently guessed the direction with the help of Nicholas, who was standing nearby.
The target is the 3rd Corps located in the central strategic area of the eastern part of the empire.
It was so far away that if you walked, you would have to travel day and night for at least a month,
“Everyone, we have arrived.”
For Jun, it was no different from going to the convenience store near his house.
“Welcome. “I was waiting.”
Fortunately, the 3rd Corps was still under the control of a general chosen by the Empire and the Church.
I was curious about that and asked what Changseong was doing, and the general quietly guided us to the restaurant.
Perhaps because lunchtime had just ended, only a few people were seen in the restaurant.
Among those few people, one person caught our attention.
Munch, munch, munch!
He had his nose in his plate and was eating like crazy whether anyone was watching or not.
Near him, there was a mountain of food trays that he presumed to have eaten.
“No way… Right?”
Do-seong pointed to him with his finger and asked the general.
The rest of the party felt the same way, so they waited for the general to open his mouth.
That’s right, Changseong was a person who seemed like a replica of what people commonly think of as an aristocrat.
Although he pretended to be noble, his greed was clearly visible in his eyes, and he never did anything that would harm his authority and honor as a nobleman.
A person like that sticks his nose into Jjambap, which nobles don’t even treat as food, and is eating it like crazy?
You have to tell jokes to a certain extent.
“They say it can catch people.”
But it seems that the joke was not a joke but a fact.
In response to the general’s words, which were not even the slightest bit playful, Do-seong said, “Ah~. “Don’t make boring jokes,” He said and walked in front of the person presumed to be Changseong.
“Such nonsense!”
“… Is it an insult to say something as soon as you see someone? Still rude. “City.”
“This old-fashioned way of speaking is definitely Changseong’s. But there’s no way Changseong can eat jjambap. “Who are you?”
“Joy! “You idiot, if I’m not Changseong, then who is Changseong?”
“Changseong is right, but he’s eating Jjambap? Does the rice go down your throat?”
“It goes well. It suits my taste quite a bit.”
After all, wouldn’t it taste better than poisonous weeds? Changseong added and started eating rice like crazy again.
“What. What is this! I don’t know, I’m scared!”
Seeing him like that, his face turned black as if he could not bear to see it, and he hid behind the castle.
Normally, I would have scolded him not to make a fuss, but this time I couldn’t bear to say anything.
Because she also felt the same way.
“Changseong, the atmosphere has changed a lot. “My demeanor has also become purer.”
“Seeing as how the four Sword Saints seem quite happy to see me, I guess that’s right. “If I were here in the past, they would definitely look at me and say I’m crazy.”
Geomseong and Changseong sit across from each other and look at each other.
Even though that was all, the capital made a fuss again.
In fact, it is understandable that Geomseong and Changseong have been famous for having the worst relationship since long ago.
This is because the life values proposed by the two people were very different.
Geomseong considered loyalty and righteousness, and Changseong considered authority and honor to be the most important values in life.
As a result, the two were divided into the royalist faction and the aristocratic faction, opposing each other at every turn, and in the end, they hated each other to the point that they did not even look at each other.
It’s surprising to see two people like that sitting across from each other at a table and talking calmly.
In fact, even the troops remaining in the palace, the 3rd Corps general, and the restaurant were staring at them with their mouths open in a daze.
“Have you achieved enlightenment?”
“Yes, thanks to that monster.”
Changseong looked back at Jun.
Saying something similar to what Do-seong said before coming here.
However, the prevailing atmosphere was not very similar.
Do-seong’s words had a warm and gentle atmosphere, but Chang-seong’s words had a warm yet bloody atmosphere.
Wouldn’t that be the atmosphere you get when you talk to a bad guy?
I’ve never had a bad friend, so I couldn’t know for sure.
Jinseong? That guy is not a bad guy. How can he be friends with a crazy beast?
‘Now that I think about it, you said he’s currently a student at the Imperial Academy, right? Then I will meet him sooner or later.’
How will he react if he meets me?
A deep smile naturally appeared on Jun’s face as he looked forward to that time.
“Smile? When you say it’s thanks to you, do you really think it’s thanks to you? Huh?”
Changseong, seeing that smile, ground his teeth as if he was angry.
It seemed like he was going to attack at any moment, so Geomseong hurriedly stopped him. And then he spoke out the doubt he had been feeling for a while.
“Cardinal Jun, after you captured Changsheng with us, did you do anything special to him? When I think about it, it’s strange. I didn’t say that all those captured along with William would be thrown out onto the street somewhere far away. Even nobles without special abilities returned to their homes a few days ago, but Changseong, a superhuman, is finally returning to the army.”
At that time, Geomseong was preoccupied with Dowonhyang’s clean and pure mana, so he did not care who and where Jun threw.
Of course, I didn’t know where Jun had thrown Changseong.
Where on earth did they throw him away for him to react so violently?
“Sword Saint, are you only now wondering about that?”
“Hey, I’ve been so out of it these days…”
When Do-seong asked as if he was dumbfounded, Geom-seong scratched his cheek awkwardly.
“Big. So where on earth was it thrown that Changseong reacted like that? It couldn’t have been dropped from a high sky or a cliff…”
“Aye~. Would I really do that? “I gave it to you normally.”
Jun looked as innocent as possible.
As his deceptive appearance and divine protection combined with his acting, people seemed to believe his words,
“I did drop it off normally. That’s because the place where I was dropped off is a major forest.”
Everyone looked at him with an expression of shock at Changseong’s next words.
“No matter how superhuman Chu, Cardinal, and Changseong are, that place is a bit…”
“Monstrous disciple, that is a place that even I, who suffer from wanderlust, missed.”
“I was born and raised in the mountains, but I don’t have the confidence to survive there. Changseong, you managed to come out alive. It’s natural for people to change.”
Great forest.
A huge forest area located on the border between the eastern part of the empire and the western part of the Elance Alliance.
All kinds of animals and plants made it their home, and monsters with great power lived deep in the forest.
According to legend, in the deepest part of the forest, the few dragons that survived the Great War are gathered.
Anyway, the Great Forest was a place so dangerous that even superhumans could not wander around without care.
The powerful Empire and Allied Powers jointly attempted to attack the forest several times to open a trade route, but they all failed, so how dangerous is it?
They deserved to be criticized for throwing someone in such a place.
“Well, I didn’t throw it in that deep. And did you forget what the crime was against Changseong? It’s a crime of rebellion. The crime of rebellion. In order to punish a superman accordingly, he had to be sent to a place like that.”
Jun hurriedly defended himself.
Perhaps there was a point, but the cold stares of the companions softened a lot.
“Treason. It’s a crime of rebellion. Looks like the rumor that William lost was true. Well, since my opponent was such a monster, it was natural for me to lose. So now I’m going to jail?”
Changseong’s expression became clouded, as if he was imagining the gloomy future that would befall him.
However, he didn’t seem to have any intention of rebelling or hiding.
“Well, I guess it’ll be okay, right?”
“That’s right.”
“I think it would be okay for me to look at it.”
“At least I won’t run away.”
Originally, Changseong’s future was to be imprisoned, just as he expected.
However, Changseong, who was thrown into the forest and changed into a person, seemed to be enough to give it a chance, and the other three people agreed with him.
In response, Jun made the same offer to him as he had made to the capital and palace.
Of course, with the condition that his position and property be confiscated.
“It’s a shame, but it’s still better than being locked up in jail. But there’s one thing that bothers me: Why does Do-seong call you, a monster, his disciple?”
“Oh, that’s right…”
Changseong nodded cheerfully and showed interest in the word disciple.
While Jun, who felt somehow ominous, kept his mouth shut, Do-seong was excited and told him that Jun had decided to become a disciple of himself, Gung-seong, Geom-seong, and several other 10-seongs.
“… Hoo.”
For some reason, Changseong smiles.
When I saw that smile, my ominous feelings grew like a snowball. Why?
The reason was soon revealed.
Changseong said while looking at Jun.
“You, become my disciple.”
