Chapter 646

Episode 646. A story in the reign (21)“Hoo.”

Song Sang-baek exhaled praise.

“As always, it was very well made. “Isn’t that right?”

The outer castle of the Church of the Heavenly Demon had the atmosphere of an impregnable fortress.

It was clear that no one would be able to penetrate this place unless they were a god who had completely escaped the human realm.

Moreover, the current area of the Heavenly Demon Church was much wider than before. A wall spanning tens of ri was being built to keep the Protestant families in, and it was almost safe to say that it was a small country.

Gong Yachi said.

“As you know, it is at a similar level to the territory of Sanghyeongseong Castle in the past. “I heard that the leader was very impressed when he saw Iron Blood Castle.”

“I heard about that.”

A sorrowful look appeared on Zheng Zhongbaek’s face.

“I’m iron-blooded…”

The feeling was bitter yet new. This is because I did not expect to see remnants of the Iron Blood Castle of the past in the place where the true master of the world resides.

“It’s been a really long time.”

Ju Seo-yoon’s face was filled with mixed emotions as she looked at the outer castle.

It was a hometown I returned to after a long time. My hometown, which I had not seen for the past few years, was the same as before, but at the same time, so many things had changed.

“Brother.”

“yes?”

Yeo Sang-rin opened her mouth like a carp.

“It’s really changed a lot. yes?”

Cherry blossoms tilted their heads.

“is that so? I’m not sure if it’s because I went back and forth so many times. Well, as the scope of Protestantism expanded, that part changed a lot.”

“Huh huh huh!”

Yeo Sang-rin stroked his chin like Noh Kang-ho with a full beard.

“Brother, why don’t we expand the area of ice archery?”

“Arthur. “What can we do with our already tight budget?”

“I’m earning a lot of money.”

“Just spending money on people’s welfare is overwhelming. Hey, and that is correct, how much is being sent from the Jungwon branch?”

“omg? “When you say that, I feel sad.”

“You’re saying things that don’t make sense.”

“Kung!”

Even so, Yeo Kang-hwi also seemed to be envious of the expansion of Protestantism. His eyes were wide as he looked around.

Wei Honglian clapped his hands.

“Now, shall we go in?”

“Huh, that’s right.”

She approached the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper said with a stern face.

“Please identify yourself.”

“Demon King Lord Wihongryun. “The paddle is here.”

Only then did the gatekeeper’s expression soften.

Even though the procedures were supposed to be strict, this change was quite drastic. I was able to see how Shingyo had educated the water gate guards.

“Demon King Spirit Lord has been confirmed. But what about the people behind you?”

Wei Hongryeon pointed to each person with her hand and introduced them.

“This is King Taejang, His Highness. Former Lord of Iron and Blood Castle. And this is His Majesty the King of Swords. Former Lady Oh-gong and sister-in-law of the sect leader. You know this place, right? “The hidden powerhouse of Gangseo Chamber of Commerce.”

“ah!”

“And this person is Gong Yachi, the Lord of Haomen and the actual second-in-command of Hubei Province. Lastly, these two people are Binggungju and the head of the Jungwon branch.”

The gatekeeper nodded.

“Even though that wasn’t the case, I received a call from higher-ups. Please come in.”

“good.”

Kugugugung.

The outer castle gate was opened.

Zheng Zhongbaek smiled.

“It’s lively.”

The vivid vitality felt from inside the outer castle was truly clear and energetic. Bloody demonic energy and bright energy coexist. This probably means that the lives of demons living in Protestantism are okay.

“Now, let’s go.”

Wei Hongryeon led the group and advanced without hesitation.

“Wow.”

Joo Seo-yoon looked around and was impressed.

Yeo Sang-rin chuckled.

“Is there something to admire?”

“Sure. “So much has changed.”

“Is the change that big? Of course, there are some things that have changed quite a bit in my opinion.”

There was a faintness in Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes.

“I always wanted to return to Protestantism. And if I come this time, I don’t know when I’ll come again.”

“….”

“I want to see everything, one by one.”

Yeo Sang-rin smiled.

“okay.”

If I leave this time, I don’t know when I’ll come back again. Those words somehow made Yeo Sang-rin sentimental. This was because she, too, had never been to the Bing Palace since taking charge of the Jungwon branch.

I guess it’s the fate of those with ability. I never had any complaints about it, but sometimes I suddenly missed my hometown.

‘Of course, not as much as His Majesty the Sword King.’

Suddenly, Yeo Sang-rin felt a strange sense of discomfort.

‘That’s right. ‘Perhaps His Majesty the Sword King’s reaction is a typical reaction of someone who has longed for his hometown.’

Although each person’s temperament is different, everyone’s longing for their hometown is similar.

Still, she didn’t think about Bingung very much. She was that busy, but that wouldn’t be any different for Joo Seo-yoon.

‘Maybe I…’

Yeo Sang-rin looked up at the sky.

‘I may think of Jungwon more like my home than Bingungung.’

And feeling more comfortable in Jungwon also means that you are satisfied with life in Jungwon.

‘It’s midfield.’

Yeo Sang-rin recalled the past.

Memories of that time when we crossed the central plains with Seoryang and Ma Dong-pil and Cherry Blossoms and fought all kinds of battles.

‘It was so dangerous and so much fun.’

At that time, Wei Hongryun asked Song Zhengbaek.

“By the way, Your Highness King Taejang.”

“hmm?”

“Guard Ma said you wouldn’t come with us? “That gentleman must have finished his work by now, right?”

“Ah, you mean the guard? I already went to see it in person. “I heard that he is on a mission about 10 miles away from Geogyeongga.”

“So what did that guy say? “Are you coming?”

“You said you were leaving a day late. “There is still unfinished business.”

“Hey, I see.”

A cruel smile appeared on Wei Hongryun’s face.

“Maybe it’s already in my inner city. “That gentleman’s new method is not usually fast.”

“Maybe so. “It’s not like we rushed in hastily.”

“This time, I have to get my revenge properly.”

“Eh? “A battle of revenge?”

“After I ascended to the top horse, I had a lot of fights with the horse guard.”

Deep interest appeared on Zheng Zhengbaek’s face.

“so? “What’s your record?”

Wei Honglian’s face immediately distorted.

“Seventy-two wins, seventy-two losses, no wins.”

“haha.”

“Ah, when we first met, it was really worth a fight, right? But what kind of elixir did he drink so badly that his stamina did not decrease, and what kind of sword technique did he learn so that attacks came from unexpected places? “It was truly miserable.”

“What is the difference between an elixir and a sword technique? “It’s just that you haven’t reached the level of the Demon Guard leader yet.”

“Do you really have a dagger stabbing?”

“Don’t look away from reality. “It’s a bad habit.”

“Sniff.”

“Still, that must have been truly spectacular. “There were as many as 72 battles between extreme demon masters… I’d like to take a look.”

“Aren’t you going to stay for a few days? There will be one round in between. Please watch.”

“her! Is that okay?”

“Is it possible that someone as powerful as His Majesty the King of Taejang would steal something just because he saw our martial arts skills?”

He is said to be a man of skill comparable to His Highness the King of Taejang. It was a habit of speaking that made you wonder what the honorific title was for.

Geum Baek burst into laughter.

“There is something to be learned from the swordsmanship of a third-rate warrior, and you can learn a lot from a match between experts as good as you.”

“Hey.”

“I’m looking forward to it. “It’s unlikely, but I hope I win this time.”

“That can’t be possible!”

“You know, you too?”

“Tsk.”

The group, who had been talking so much, soon reached the inner castle gate.

For a moment, the group was startled.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you all.”

Surprisingly, the inner castle gate had Hoyoseong written in advance.

Wei Hongryun’s face brightened.

“Commander General!”

“Haha, my commanding lord. “Did you have a good time?”

“Sure.”

“I received a good report that I caught the king. “You are truly amazing.”

“What did I do with that? “It’s thanks to these people.”

“ha ha ha.” S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The two seemed happier than expected. Wei Hongryeon even twisted her body in a way that was uncharacteristic of her, and the atmosphere was strange.

Hu Yaosheng looked at the money bag.

“His Royal Highness King Taejang.”

He bowed his head politely.

“long time no see.”

They do not bow even before the king.

That was the demon of the Heavenly Demon Church. This was because the only people they served were religious leaders and not worldly kings or emperors.

In fact, Hu Yaocheng never bowed before the emperor in the past. He had as much distribution as his brain.

Zhong Zhenbaek smiled and nodded.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you.”

“That’s right.”

“Before I say hello to everyone else, I’d like to ask you one question.”

“I don’t feel any pain.”

“…haha. “I understand.”

“I thought you might have misunderstood. “I’m sorry for not telling you in advance.”

“I came here to find out, but in reality, it was all just an excuse. “I also want to smell the air of Jungwon for the first time in a while.”

“Haha, I thought you would.”

“Anyway, how did you start such a rumor when you weren’t even sick? Are you thinking about retiring?”

Hu Yao-sheng’s face was distorted.

“Even if I want to retire, I don’t get permission. “I guess I’m destined to work until I die.”

“Hehehe!”

“There is some kind of force targeting the imperial palace. “If it’s a rebel force, it’s a rebel force, and they’re keeping an eye on our school.”

In an instant, Zheng Zhongbaek’s eyes became sharp.

“Rebel force?”

“yes. “This is a rumor made up to check their movements.”

“There were people like that?”

“You don’t need to worry too much. If it was really dangerous, I would have told you first. “We can sort it out for you, so you can rest in peace.”

“Hmm.”

“It’s so salty.”

Song Sang-baek, who was looking at Ho Yo-seong quietly, soon burst into laughter.

“I will believe that lie.”

Wei Hongryeon grumbled next to him.

“If it’s real, you know it’s real.”

Song Zhengbaek chuckled. It was cute to see Wi Hongryeon subtly taking care of her people.

“Okay. “Let’s hear more details later.”

“of course.”

Hu Yaoseong looked at Joo Seoyoon.

He slowly approached and gently held both of Joo Seo-yoon’s hands.

“Oh Gongnyeo.”

Joo Seo-yoon felt like she was crying for a moment.

In other lands, there were only people who called themselves by titles such as Geomjangwang or Geomhuni. However, Ho Yo-seong called herself Wukongnyeo.

That alone was touching.

“It’s been a while since I saw you, Commander.”

“Haha, you’ve become even more beautiful.”

“no.”

Song Sang-baek felt that Wei Hong-ryeon’s gaze had somehow become sharper.

Hu Yaosheng said with a smile.

“Since you are here, please take a long rest before leaving. Even if you go again, please come and visit us once.”

“thank you.”

“What about gratitude?”

Ho Yo-seong let go of Joo Seo-yoon’s hand and looked at the cherry blossoms.

The cherry blossom bowed its head.

“Commander General.”

Ho Yo-seong narrowed one eye.

“Vice Lord, you have something to do, right?”

The cherry blossom grinned.

“Sure. “I’ll go in first.”

“ha ha ha! “You’re smart, after all.”

“lol.”

Cherry blossoms headed into the castle first.

Hu Yaosheng turned his attention to the Yeo siblings.

“Thank you for your hard work in coming this far, my lord. And the branch manager too.”

“Long time no see.”

“Take a long rest and then go. “You can feel comfortable and think of it as your own home.”

“Haha, is that okay?”

“Of course.”

Hu Yaosheng pointed to the inner city with his hand.

“Now, please go in. The leader is waiting.”
