Episode 670Reversal (2)
âHow are their movements?â
âItâs hard to really know. Jongnamâs power is very strong around here. âEven we canât look into the details.â
âBut itâs not the same alliance.â
âJust because weâre in the same league, would they allow someone else to come in and install something in their front yard? âNot only Jong-nam, but anyone would not do that.â
âItâs frustrating.â
âThe best thing is to tell me everything about whatâs going on, but you said thatâs not possible?â
âI donât think so, at least not now.â
âActually, I think the same thing. Letâs see⦠First of all, the area where we can identify them is from about 20 miles away. At least there wasnât much movement outside of it.â
âRight.â
âI heard you suffered a lot of damage while fighting? âThey may be reorganizing their battle lines.â
âThey are probably reorganizing. But it really doesnât make sense to go up against one of the old factions with that many troops. âI donât know if the leaderâs military power is still intact.â
âIt sends chills down my spine. âThey also dispatched a martial arts expert.â
âBecause itâs not normal. âI came here to destroy one of the nine major factions, not anywhere else.â
âYeah, thatâs true.â
âDid you call Hwageomja Noh Seon-bae?â
âHeâll be here soon.â
âGood.â
âAnyway, Iâd like to ask you somethingâ¦â
âYou mean Mr. Umze?â
âThatâs right.â
âThe situation is a bit complicated. You werenât even one of those guys to begin with. âItâs just that itâs difficult to move carelessly because of them.â
âWhat on earth is going on?â
âThatâs hard to say. âSee it in person and ask.â
âHmm.â
âIâm telling you in advance just in case youâre curious, that Senior Eumje will not be involved in this battle. âTo be precise, you canât come forward.â
âI donât know what the situation is, but⦠I guess I understand anyway. After half a visit, Mr. Hwageom will come. See you again then.â
thud!
âOh my.â
Kang-ryang stuck out his tongue.
âItâs surprising, but isnât this heavy?â
âwhat?â
âAn axe.â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled when he saw Tongcheonbu placed in the corner of the guesthouse.
âItâs been a while since Iâve dealt with such a serious illness, so it feels heavy.â
âItâs not that heavy. âI couldnât even think of holding it and swinging it.â
Of course, with Gangryangâs strength and skills, it wouldnât be difficult to handle Tongcheonbu.
The problem is how to use such weapons in actual combat.
No matter how great your inner strength is, you cannot change the natural structure of the human body. In a fierce battle, you have to handle that ax with only your upper body strength, but if you make a mistake, your muscles and joints will be shattered.
âYou survived after being stabbed countless times with such a brutal weapon.â
Kang Ryangâs eyes deepened.
âIt seems truly incredible that there is no drama.â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âThere were many variables. âI also lost my strength, and if I were to try to break it down, he was higher than me.â
âNo matter what.â
âFurthermore, Yinhwang Sagi is a martial art with infinite uses. âIt is the enemyâs martial arts, but no one can deny the excellence of the martial arts themselves.â
Kang Ryang looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with strange eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
âWhy do you look at me like that?â
âI think youâve changed a bit.â
âwhat?â
âBefore, if even the slightest mention of something related to those guys came out, you would turn violent. âBut you seem calm now.â
âIs that so?â
âItâs nice to see. âReacting like youâre having a seizure isnât a good thing.â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âStop fussing and just leave.â
âAll right.â
Yeon Ho-jeong was left alone on the first floor of the guesthouse.
It was a guesthouse located in a village not far from Ha Eungyoâs residence, and 30 miles further away from that village. Surprisingly, this shabby guesthouse without any guests was secretly managed by the Hwasan faction.
Hwasan and Jongnam. Jongnam and Hwasan.
Although they are intertwined under the name of the Old Daemun faction, they cannot remain just close friends. This is because they are factions that exert similar influence within the same region. We have no choice but to be conscious of each other, so we do not hesitate to create a secret place like this.
Yeon Ho-jeong understood them. Jongnam probably created countless secret bases like this.
How long has it been like that?
Sigh.
The door to the guesthouse opened and an old man came in.
A white uniform with moderate stains. Beautiful plum blossoms were embroidered on the hem of the swaying long cloth.
He was a swordsman.
âIâm sorry. âItâs a little late.â
âno.â
âAnyway, I never thought the day I would see you again would come so soon.â
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to the opposite direction with his hand.
âPlease sit down.â
âOkay then.â
The swordsman who sat down opened his eyes round.
âUh huh.â
âWhy are you doing that?â
âAre you hurt? âMy energy is very unstable.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
Although I did not recover completely, I was still able to control my airway perfectly. Ha Eungyoâs words that he would restore his body to normal condition overnight were kept.
Unless you are an expert at the same level, you cannot see this far. Thatâs what Hwageomja did.
âDo you see that?â
âItâs a feeling. âItâs not clearly visible, but⦠thatâs not important right now, is it?â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âI fought with the Saeumgyo bastards.â
ââ¦!â
Hwageomjaâs face hardened.
âwith whom?â
âI donât know. However, there was an expert at a similar level to me.â
Even if he is not a saint, a master who has opened up martial arts can be said to be a disaster-level master.
A shadow appeared on Hwaseomjaâs face.
âIâm serious. âIâm seriously trying to hit a volcanoâ¦â
âI donât know that.â
âhmm?â
Yeon Ho-jeong placed his clasped hands on the table.
âThe reason I asked to see the senior boat was not only to prepare for the future of the volcano.â
âif?â
âDid that sign that you saw really mean that you were going to hit the volcano?â
âOf course. Even though I gave my soul to the volcano, I have not forgotten most of what Saeum taught me as a child. I canât forget it. âI received such a harsh education.â
I could understand it well.
They are the ones who dispatched that child to Sejak. Aside from the unexpectedness, how thoroughly did they train them not to make mistakes?
At a time when I should have had a normal childhood like everyone else, I received all kinds of complicated education to the point where I was completely absorbed in it. It will be an unforgettable memory until you grow old and die.
âIâd like to hear an explanation.â
âwhat?â
âI want to know what kind of symbol or letter that mark is and why it is interpreted as meaning to hit a volcano.â
Hwageomja, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, sighed.
âI understand that you canât completely trust me because I came from thereâ¦â
âI donât trust anyone completely.â
âLook here.â
âAnd Iâm telling you this in case you misunderstand, but Iâm not doing this because I donât trust you right now. âBecause I just want to know.â
âHuh.â
Yeon Ho-jeong took out the paper, pencil, and ink she had set aside.
âTime is running out to learn all the three small languages. I just want to know the mark left on the volcano. And why it was interpreted that way.â
ââ¦I understand.â
The swordsman who read the determination on Yeon Ho-jeongâs face picked up his brush.
Soon, I was writing down a few letters at a rapid pace, and the shape was of a type I had never seen before.
Hwageomja said as he put down his brush.
âThey say it is the original character that is the origin of the characters used in the far western regions. It is different from Joongwonâs letters, where each letter has a meaning. âMultiple letters are combined to make one word, and then a meaning is attached to the word created.â
âItâs vague.â
âThis means flowers blooming, and this means mountains. âIf I were to interpret it, it would be Mount Hwasan (è¯å±±), a mountain where flowers bloom.â
âhmm.â
âThis word means soon.â And this word means to invade. The word order is almost similar to the language of the Central Plains.â
âThat means we will invade the volcano sooner or later.â
âThatâs right.â
âWhat are the letters after that?â
âThis isâ¦â
Hwageomja sighed.
âIt means writing down detailed information about the interior next to the Maesocheong conduit. âDetailed information means specifying the number of internal main experts and the color of risk determined by Saeum.â
âMaesocheong?â
âThe volcano regularly receives civilians as guests. They come to the temple to pray and talk to the monks. âIt is a kind of festival, and the place that receives the guests who come to the festival is a huge conduit called Maesocheong.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
âThen the reason you brought up Maesocheong does that mean that among the civilians climbing the volcano, there will be Sejak from over there?â
âI think so.â
âWhy are you telling me this important thing now?â
âItâs not a simple problem. This is a matter that I did not even tell the elders and elders just in case. âIt took a lot of courage for me just to let you know that the volcano could soon be invaded.â
It was an understandable statement.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
âWhen is the next festival?â
âItâs five days later.â
âFive days laterâ¦â
Time was tight.
âIf the route ship writes down detailed information in the Maesocheong, they will attack the volcano more efficiently accordingly.â
âThatâs right.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
âI donât understand either.â
âhmm? âWhat do you mean?â
âThey sent the old ship to Sejak. Of course, he could have sent another set after that. Even so, would you convey the secret language in such an eye-catching way?â
ââ¦.â
âSecret language becomes a dead language over time. The reason is that old secret words are bound to be discovered and are interpreted the moment they are discovered. If that happens, it will lose its identity as a secret language.â
The swordsmithâs eyes widened.
It was clear that he hadnât thought about that part. Although he found a new life by taking refuge in a volcano, the education he learned as a child was extremely rigid and fixed knowledge. There was no reason to think that far.
How surprised you must have been when everyone left. It was impossible to remove selfishness and analyze it like Yeon Ho-jeong, a third party.
âThen why on earth is this happening?â
âJust checking.â
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âI just wanted to check. Is Sejak, who was sent to the volcano, still alive? âIf Sejak were alive, how would he react?â
âBut⦠if you donât react, they will attack the volcano without any information. âIsnât that extremely inefficient?â
âIt wonât be a question of inefficiency. They were planning to attack one of the Nine Daemun factions, so who brought these people? âThey will bring in a powerful force capable of annihilating them and try to wipe them out in one fell swoop.â
ââ¦!!â
âNevertheless, they left this mark on the volcano. Normally, the female language changes once every ten years if it lasts three years. Some organizations change things every month. But now theyâre going to invade the volcano with secret words that are decades old, so you want information? âDo you think this makes sense?â
âthenâ¦?â
âItâs not a volcano.â
âwhat?!â
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up. SÑarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âThey wanted to check. I wonder if the three people I dispatched are dead or alive. âIf he is alive and writes a reply, there is a 100% chance that he is a traitor.â
The swordsmanâs mouth widened.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face distorted.
âDamn it⦠I was just wondering, but it still happened. âI wondered what was so clumsy, but the place they were trying to attack wasnât a volcano.â
Teuong!
Yeon Ho-jeong came out holding the Tongcheonbu and spoke to Pae-yul.
âPlease contact Iron Janggae! âThe place they are targeting is Jongnam, not Hwasan!â
That time.
Beep!
There was a huge hawk descending at a frightening speed with a loud cry.
Tuk!
The hawk that landed on a manâs forearm boasted a truly majestic appearance.
âItâs been a while since I last saw you.â
The man who scratched the Falcon God Emperorâs chin with his hand untied the paper tied to its ankles.
After a while.
âI thought I would take a break for a day, but it turned out I was really tired.â
The man spoke towards the back.
âComplete preparations for departure within half a hour. We will move south to Jongnam.â
