Episode 58: Don’t kill me for now.
As soon as Hyeolcheon Doma sat down, he started looking for alcohol.
I brought home the alcohol I had bought and poured myself a glass.
“Has something bad happened to you?”
Only after drinking several glasses of alcohol in succession did Hyeolcheondoma reveal the reason for his anger.
“Those idiots openly bullied me.”
“ha ha ha.”
“I didn’t mean that for a laugh.”
“sorry. “I never thought there would be a Mazon who was ostracized.”
Hyeolcheon Doma’s eyes widened even more as if it was no joke.
“sorry. “How on earth did you get away with it?”
“No one talked to me.”
“Isn’t it always like that?”
“Well, I didn’t talk much, but not like today. “If you had confronted me openly, I wouldn’t have been so angry.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You mean you!”
“yes? Me?”
“They suspect that you collaborated with me to kill the Subsoul Mazon. “That’s why you’re bullying me.”
“Did we do that?”
“We didn’t do that.”
Hyeolcheondoma glared at me with cold eyes.
“I guess you did. “You killed him, right?”
“Why is everyone suspicious of me?”
“Because you are the one with the most blood on your hands these days. Isn’t there a law that prevents the blood of the soul of the soul from getting on those hands? “Is that you?”
Instead of answering, I stared at the blood chopping block. He must have read the look in my eyes. That I killed the Soul Mazon.
“Why are you telling me the truth?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Yeah, I didn’t say it. “I did it with my eyes.”
If I had just tried to pull it away, I would have pulled it away. There were two reasons for not doing so.
First, the intention was to create tension in me. Being close is being close and it will lead to a relationship between me and him as masters. The intention is for you to believe in me and follow me without having any other thoughts. Moderate tension in human relationships will reduce mistakes.
The second reason was because I trusted him. Because I wanted to tell the truth and believed that no problems would arise if I told it.
“You really believe in me.”
“If you didn’t believe it, you wouldn’t have made the elderly person sit on the chair.”
“Before I was a Left Master, I was a member of the Palmazon.”
“You may be Palmazon, but you are my sitter.”
“If you trust people so easily, you will get stabbed in the back one day.”
“It wasn’t easy for me to believe it. “Think about what happened to you and me.”
Hyeolcheondoma suddenly asked.
“Aren’t you scared?”
“What?”
“Becoming Palmazon’s enemy.”
“Samazon, to be exact.”
“Samazon?”
Hyeolcheondoma, who looked at me blankly for a moment, hit the table with his glass and stood up suddenly.
“what? When did you kill three more? “Did you kill so-and-so?”
I quickly spoke to him who was yelling.
“Fix it, that’s not what I meant.”
It was a really short moment, but it was surprising that Hyeolcheondoma thought that. How great does this person think of me?
“Then what do you mean by Samazon?”
“Listen to my calculations. Now that the Subsoul Mazon is dead, it is now the Seven Mazon, right? If the elders are left out, only half of the Six Demon Zones and Geomzones have been handed over to me, so it’s half of the O Amazon Zones. First of all, let’s say that the Omazon class is my enemy. In this situation, you and Geomzon senior are not going to be playing around, right? If the two of you combine to take charge of half the Ilmazon and deal with it, you will be left with exactly the Samazon. So my opponent was Samazon. In fact, it may be less. Even if there are two more people out of the Seven Mazon who will join hands with me, I only have to deal with the Imazon. “It’s easy, right?”
Hyeolcheondoma looked at me with the most absurd expression since I met him.
“Okay, I already know that you’re this crazy, so I’ll skip it. “There is one thing you haven’t thought of.”
“What is it?”
“I and Geomzon will never fight with the Mazons.”
“Shall we chase after Mabul and kill him? Or should I kill the departing Pungcheon religious leader? Or... kill them both?”
“If that happens, a war will break out with Sae-Oe and the Martial Forest. If we are divided, those idiotic Murim League bastards will suddenly shout for the overthrow of the Demonic Cult. “Sado-maeng’s eyes will turn red as if he doesn’t have anything to eat.”
“Why don’t you drink some fresh blood with me?”
Hyeolcheondoma stood up and said.
“If you want to die, die alone.”
“Wasn’t it a symbiotic relationship between you and me?”
“Ever since we were born, Gongja Lee, our lives have been about living on our own. “I’m leaving.”
Hyeolcheondoma left my room.
I poured down the last of my drink.
‘You mean the head of the Pungcheon Church is coming?’

The next morning, when I arrived at Cheonmajeon after receiving my father’s call, my father was not sitting in the royal palace but was standing by the window.
“Did you call me, father?”
“come here.”
I slowly walked up the stairs to where my father was standing.
“I already heard that Seo Hwan-jin is noisy.”
“Would it be any different if they were ghosts? “It will be the beginning of a power struggle.”
Seo Hwan-jin, who lost his owner overnight, was confused.
There was no sadness at the center of the chaos. Because he was a soul mazon who was always immersed in his own world, no one mourned his death. The magicians were only paying attention to who the next soul mazon would be.
“Please leave for a moment and come back.”
“Where are you talking about?”
“Isn’t it time to take a look at the Hwangcheongak branch in the central plains?”
I could tell. My father also knows that Palmazon called the leader of Pungcheon. That they are worried about me and are trying to send me out.
“Please reconsider sending me out.”
“The reason is?”
“Palmazon called the Pungcheon cult leader to investigate the death of Subhonmazon.”
As expected, my father was not surprised at all. You already know this. It occurred to me that perhaps one of the Mazon might have my father’s limbs. Or maybe a talented Sejak is delivering accurate information about the movements of Palmazon.
“If I go to school at a time like this, they will be suspicious of me.”
“I already have doubts. That’s why I called the Pungcheon religious leader. The leader of Pungcheon is not an easy person. “I don’t know what method you used to kill Seophon, but I will definitely find out that it was you.”
“It’s not me, father. “Isn’t it possible that the Murim Alliance sent assassins?”
“That means they want to go to war with us, but they are far from war right now.”
The Murim League knew each other intimately. If war breaks out, no matter how secretly it is carried out, the signs will be detected at least three days in advance.
“Are you really confident that you will get through this safely?”
“yes.”
“Where does your confidence come from?”
You asked the same question before. The same answer was given in a different way.
“If your father were me, would you have gone to school?”
“no.”
“I am my father’s son.”
“Yes, you are my son, not me.”
“Instead, I can at least imitate my father. “If the object of imitation is the father, then just imitation is enough.”
My father thought he could no longer break my will.
“Okay then, keep one thing in mind.”
I thought you would tell me to be careful. Of course I thought so.
My father said as he turned and walked away.
“You must not kill the leader of the Pungcheon Church.”
At that moment I knew.
“no way? “Are you worried about the leader of the Pungcheon Church, not me?”
My father added as he strode out.
“Not even other mazon! “Don’t kill anyone for now.”
“I didn’t kill him!”
I pulled it all the way out, but my father had already closed the door and left.
I slowly went down the stairs, walked the bloody path, and left the Cheonmajeon Hall.
Killing the leader of the Pungcheon Church? How well do I know about Pungcheon Bridge and its leader? To me, this person is like a treasure trove and I am grateful to him. However, if he comes here and puts pressure on me... he will be more grateful to me.
