Chapter 520

Episode 520 The First in the World (4)“Is that so?”

“yes.”

“Okay. Let’s go out now.”

“….”

“Why? Is there anything more to say?”

“Lord Seong.”

“You tell me.”

Hwang Gon, who had been hesitant, spoke as if he had made up his mind.

“How about getting out of this war?”

Geum Baek, holding the glass, paused.

But he just drank the glass for a moment.

Hwang Gon continued.

“This organization called Iron Blood City, established by the Holy Lord, is the only pillar of the four factions. It is comparable to any other place in the Gangho Three Worlds, but it is not necessary to intervene in the fight between tigers from other mountains…”

“Look at you, Hwanggon.”

“…Yes, Lord Seong.”

“Would you like a drink?”

Hwang Gon and Eup sat across from Song Zhong Baek.

When Sibi brought an empty glass, Song Baek filled it.

“How long has it been since you met me?”

He suddenly brings up stories about the past.

For a moment, Hwang Gon pondered whether he should show himself as a soldier or show himself as young and energetic.

But I soon made a decision.

“I don’t even remember.”

“Huh, is that so?”

“I’ve been living so very attentive these days. Even last year’s events are now a blur.”

Song Zhengbaek chuckled.

“I should have paid more attention to our soldier’s health, but I couldn’t do that.”

Huang Kun smiled.

“It’s okay. If the Lord of the castle is healthy, my health will improve on its own.”

“Giggles.”

It was a very dangerous statement. If we interpret Huang Kun’s words differently, it means that Zheng Zhengbai is not in good health right now.

It was an impolite remark for the head of a sect that pursued defeat, whether physically or mentally. Especially since it is not a public place.

Zhong Zhenbaek lightly laughed at Huang Kun’s words.

“I need to be healthy for our soldier. I will keep that in mind.”

“Please do that.”

“haha.”

Two people emptied their glasses at the same time.

“Hey, Mr. Hwang.”

“yes.”

“I’ve thought about this. Maybe I wasn’t cut out to be a monarch.”

Huang Kun’s eyes wavered.

But his voice did not waver.

“It’s not worth worrying about.”

“Hmm? Why is that?”

“I am not an easy person to serve someone who is not worthy of a monarch.”

“Hehehe.”

“If the Lord of the Castle had been an unbecoming monarch, he would not have entered Iron Blood Castle even if he had to be beheaded on the spot.”

“Are you serious about that lie?”

“I’m serious.” seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Even if you have a personal relationship, there are times when you joke around and times when you shouldn’t.

Hwang Gon was someone who knew how to distinguish them. So, for money transfer, Hwanggon was good.

“Then the current monarch is very different from the past monarch you saw.”

“….”

“I’ve been thinking like this lately. I think I’m done too.”

“….”

“I didn’t want to say this to my associates. But what can I do? The evil spirit inside me is getting deeper as time goes by. I thought it would be easy to get rid of the evil spirit, but it’s not easy to overcome it.”

“Where does that simma come from?”

Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes wavered.

At that moment, what came to his mind was Seo-ryang’s face, not Damsa-yeong’s.

In the past, during his time as the leader of the Little Confucius, Xu Liang was a young genius with infinite potential. At that time, even though he met the head of an organization that divided the world into three parts, he was not moved at all.

And Seoryang, who became a religious leader, appeared in front of him, having grown to a level that could not even be compared to when he was a minor religious leader. Although he was somewhat clumsy, he became a giant who was able to face himself.

Furthermore, when I saw it again recently in Hubei.

The young man, who was full of potential, was now standing shoulder to shoulder with Dam Sa-young, who had surpassed him and had become a monster of desire.

– You are that kind of guy. His greed has disappeared and half of his teeth have fallen out, but his claws are still usable.

Seoryang’s face, mocking him with a cruel smile, came to mind.

‘I’m not even angry.’

Returning to Iron Blood Castle, Song Zhongbaek felt more at ease than ever.

Because this is his kingdom. He was the king of a small country that did not need any more greed and did not need a wider world.

And also realized.

The firewood called Sanghyeolseongju, who criticized the world with the nickname Suraje, has already turned into ashes and disappeared. Even if we try to rekindle the flame, there is no longer even a bush left.

‘Simma…’

Zhong Zhenbaek said bitterly.

“At first, I thought it was because of the Seo leader.”

“….”

“But no. Of course, I was confused after hearing the leader Seo’s words, but he was the one who brought out the original demons, not the one who caused them.”

“….”

“I am the one who created Simma.”

Zheng Zhongbaek closed his eyes.

“He is a leader of Safa Daejang with a paganism. He is called Suraje and is an absolute martial arts expert with a reputation as the best martial arts expert of his time.”

“….”

“Such a reputation was actually controlling my actions. I was deceiving myself by thinking that a giant of that size should aim to conquer the world.”

“….”

“Actually, what I wanted was to just sit high and bounce around. If you think about it, I didn’t create Iron-Blooded Castle either. If it weren’t for the foundation laid by previous castle lords, I don’t know how I would have been able to grow it this much.”

“….”

“I guess this was the limit of my vessel.”

Huang Kun sighed inwardly.

Zheng Zhongbaek opened his eyes.

“Are you sad?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Hehe, that’s honest.”

“I realize now that you didn’t trust me, and that makes me sad.”

Zheng Zhongbaek’s eyes widened.

“I didn’t believe you?”

“The Lord of the Seong has changed. But the nature of the Lord of the Seong has not changed. The Lord of the Seong is neither bigger nor smaller than when I first saw him.”

Huang Kun’s eyes lit up.

“Still, I served the lord of the castle as my monarch. Do you know why?”

“….”

“Because I had faith that I could make up for my master’s shortcomings.”

There was a look of surprise on Zhong Zhenbaek’s face.

“I know it is rude, but I dare to say this. The Lord of Seong, then and now, is not a vessel worthy of being the best in the world.”

“…!”

“Demon Lord? Damsa Young? They are different. To be honest, I don’t know what kind of spirit those two people live in the world with. There were many people in the martial arts world who wanted to conquer the world, but there was no one who made it a reality with a drive as crazy as those two people at the time. There was no other way.”

Huang Kun smiled.

“That’s why I like Seongju.”

“…How can you say it’s good when you don’t have enough dishes?”

“If I had gone to them, how much need would I have been to them?”

“…!”

“I am a soldier and a subordinate. But I have a dream. And I was looking for a partner who could share that dream. I did not need someone who could achieve the dream alone.”

Zheng Zhongbaek’s eyes were shaking.

“It may be presumptuous to say this, but there is no one more qualified for me than the Lord of Seong. That is why I came under the Lord of Seong. In order to achieve the great cause of unifying the world together.”

“….”

“But the longer I spent time with the Lord of the Castle, the more I felt something about me change.”

“Change?”

“I guess it’s good now.”

“…!!”

Huang Kun smiled brightly.

“All over the world? That’s good. If I were born as a man and could take over the world, there would be no more rewarding experience. But for me, it is more fun to live with a giant who knows how to protect his territory than to have that great dream.”

“….”

“That is the Lord of Seong. Before he has the qualities of a loser who will rule the world, he has a greater capacity than anyone else to influence people.”

“haha.”

“I risked my life to win the world. I risked my life. Lord Seong is a person with such outstanding charm that it dilutes even my desire.”

Huang Kun bowed his head.

“So don’t be discouraged. There is no one who can stop the Lord of the castle now. Tell those who want to take over the world to fight among themselves. We can just follow our own path.”

Zheng Zhongbaek smiled.

“Do you really think so?”

“I don’t say things I don’t know to comfort the monarch.”

“Hehehe.”

Song Zhengbaek burst out laughing.

It was a smile full of emotion. Bitterness, sadness, joy and comfort were all mixed together.

“You knew me. I didn’t know me either.”

“of course.”

“When did you know my vessel and my qualities?”

“I knew it from the moment I first saw you.”

Song Zhengbaek asked playfully.

“But how could you not have stopped me? When you joined hands with Dam Sa-young, you would have been able to stop me somehow.”

“The Lord of the castle was closing his ears.”

“This person should still have been stopped.”

“Do you know how my father raised me? He never stopped me from doing anything. He let me experience it and then comforted me when I was shocked.”

Hwang Gon smiled sheepishly.

“I was able to choose Seongju because I lived in such an environment.”

“Hehehe! What an arrogant person you are. Is that what you want to say to your lord?”

“It’s true. It’s time to accept it.”

“Hahaha!”

Zheng Zhongbaek laughed louder than ever.

It was bittersweet, but I was just as happy. I didn’t have the guts to conquer the world, but I felt like I had at least seen one person in the right light.

“Okay, it’s time to accept it. What I want from my vessel.”

“Do you understand?”

“I understand.”

Jang Geum-baek smiled.

“I guess I’ll have to give up on everything. But I guess I’ll have to clean up the waste I packed.”

Huang Kun bowed his head.

“I have something in mind. We will be holding a military meeting tomorrow, so get some rest today.”

“Huh, that’s right.”

Yes, there is something about human clothes.

The two people clinked their glasses and drank. He burst into laughter and said, “Let’s just drink it to death today.”

How much time has passed like that?

They were two people who forced their inner strength to get drunk as much as they wanted. In front of Hwang Gon, who had already fallen asleep from drunkenness, Song Sang-baek drank alone.

“Umm, is this the end?”

There wasn’t much alcohol left in the bottle.

It was at that time that Song Baek picked up the bottle and was about to fill his glass.

‘…?’

The hand was holding Hwang Gon’s neck, not the bottleneck.

Zheng Zhongbaek’s eyes widened.

Grrrr.

The hand wrapped around Hwang Kun’s neck trembled slightly. As if he were going to rip off Hwang Gon’s head at any moment.

‘omg!’

Surprised, Song Zhengbaek took a step back.

Ugh. Ugh.

A gentle fire waved in his hands.

It was not the Bloodless Monster Dragon Ball.

‘…Heavenly Dragon Energy?!’

The Heavenly Dragon Qi of blood fire that he had acquired while working with Dam Sa-yeong was writhing uncontrollably.

Wooooow.

The Ink-Blooded Kairyong-gong rose, unleashed his spirit energy and suppressed the Heavenly Dragon-ki.

Song Zhongbaek clenched his fists.

“…What the hell is this?”
