Episode 178 Who is third?
Hyeolcheon Doma was training. He started training long before I took this exam, so he has been practicing non-stop for quite some time.
“Are you really preparing for war?”
He responded without even turning his head to what I said.
“When you get older, living each day is a war.”
“I’ve been there.”
This time, I ran and was suddenly hugged by Hyeolcheon Doma.
“What are you doing so disgusting?”
Hyeolcheondoma was scared and forcibly pulled me away. Honestly, I want to be hugged by my father like this. I can’t even try because I’m afraid I’ll get hit with a nine fire magic attack.
“I missed you, old man.”
“You’re acting like someone you haven’t seen in a decade.”
The Blood Heaven Sword plunged the Death Heaven Blade into the ground.
And I leaned against it. At times like this, it’s nice to see that knife looking like his friend.
“Cheonmyeonghoeju?”
“He died.”
“There must have been a lot of people around.”
“I got a lot of blood on my hands this time.”
Hyeolcheondoma must have sensed the bitterness in my answer, so he went into the house, brought out some alcohol, and poured it for me.
“What can I do? Such is your fate. “Drink it and shake it off.”
I drank the drink he gave me. I felt as if a blood chopping board was washing the blood off my hands. At least it was a drink and comfort from someone who knew better than anyone else what it was like to kill someone.
I didn’t say thank you. Because, as always, I couldn’t repay you with words.
“The Archduke will never give up, so the future will not be easy. “Even if his abilities and qualifications are not as good as yours, he is stronger than you in terms of his determination to become the Heavenly Demon.”
It would be difficult to save a brother like that.
“Have you ever met a true disciple?”
“I came and went earlier.”
“You did a great job choosing me as your successor.”
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
“This guy will do better than anyone else. “You may have heard that I won the Soryong Tournament.”
“Did you win?”
“You wrote that if you lose, you die, so how can you not win? Even if the world’s best martial arts competition is held instead of the Xiaoryong match, I have to win. And whose martial arts skills would you lose?”
Joy flashed across Hyeolcheon Doma’s face, as if he had never thought he would actually win. In times like these, it is clear that there is affection for Seo Dae-ryong.
“Ugh. The fact that the chatterbox doesn’t brag about it shows how difficult it is for the elderly. Please be a little more comfortable with me.”
“If things are comfortable between priests, things will end up going wrong. Anyway, I guess I’m being really rude. “I’m going to need training in hell.”
Ah, inspector. This is something I didn’t expect. sorry.
“Stop it. “Shouldn’t we see other mazons as well?”
“no. Other Mazon will watch slowly. “I’m only seeing the elderly today.”
If you like someone, you have to like it clearly like this. As the saying goes, a person who likes everyone is someone that no one likes. Regardless of a person’s true feelings, everyone will think that way. That person usually likes everyone, right? At the very least, it is a misunderstanding that Hyeolcheon Doma does not want to receive.
“The flattery is still the same.”
However, a smile that could not be hidden was blooming on the corner of Hyecheondoma’s mouth. I secretly like this kind of thing.
“Go say hello to the mazons. “Everyone stepped up for you, but it’s polite to say hello.”
“Yes, of course.”
“Even though deep down I wanted to go.”
“You just need to know that seniors always come first.”
I left the residence, leaving behind Hyeolcheon Doma, who was wielding the sword again.
Before going to Akingok, I stopped by the house and picked up a white mask. Wouldn’t it be polite to wear a mask when going to a bad song?
The masked people wearing white masks no longer paid special attention to me like before. The hostility in his eyes towards me also disappeared.
I could tell from their reactions that my friendship with Extreme Soma was deepening. If they look at me and say hello to me with friendly eyes, we’ll be closer than we are now.
With the guidance of the masked visitor, I entered the residence of the evil-in-gokju.
At first, I thought these Magons were as important as martial arts training, so meeting them was a task, but now it has become a relationship rather than a task. Surprisingly, people go there because they really want to see it.
Extreme Soma was looking at the white wall again today. Really, what are you thinking about while looking at that wall?
“I’m here.”
I raised my mask over my head and greeted him bravely. Then, Extreme Soma turned towards me.
His eyes met those inside the mask. I never thought the day would come when I would make eye contact with a very evil Soma and feel this happy.
The two of them teamed up with Extreme Soma and fought for their lives twice. The first was a fight with Geomwang Baek Mang-gi, and the second was a fight with Geukak Soma’s Four Baek Yang Cheo-gi.
Both of these fights were life-threatening, and perhaps because of that, there was a special feeling of being a comrade on the battlefield who saved his life.
“I heard that the Cheonmyeonghoe work was completed successfully.”
“Who would have neglected revenge?”
In fact, this test was also related to Extreme Soma. Because they had captured Yang Cheo-gi, one of the four hundred members of the Extremely Evil Soma.
“I will wait for that moment.”
“See you then.”
I greeted him and left Akingok. The reunion with him was as neat as the white mask.

Ilhwa Geomjon and Chwima were drinking, so I was able to see them both in one place. The two friends used to drink often, and they happened to be drinking today as well.
“Welcome, Gongja Lee!”
I was drunk on both Ilhwa Geomjon and intoxicating liquor. It was the first time Ilhwa Geomzon had been seen this drunk.
“You have fallen into the temptation of evil.”
“Please come and rescue me quickly.”
While saying that, Ilhwa Geomzon poured me a drink.
“I was thankful for the last time I worked on the evil song.”
“What have we done? “It was just a stampede.”
At that time, Chwima asked me with a disgruntled look.
“Hyeolcheondoma and Extreme Evil Soma have already met, right?”
“yes.”
“Why are we last? Why third or fourth? “If you’re here, we could come see you first, right?”
Ilhwa Geomzone also joined in the complaint. When he glared at me with his red, drunk face, I smiled and said.
“Which one is third?”
The two people willingly accepted this strong separation.
“Naji.”
Chwima shook his head as if he felt sorry for Ilhwa Geomjon’s confidence.
“friend. I’m sorry, but this is me. “I am on friendly terms with Lee Gongja.”
“Hey buddy. If it were a true brother and sister system, you wouldn’t be fighting for the third or fourth time, right?”
“We drink and swim together.”
“I wasn’t going to tell you this, but we even danced under the moonlight.”
The two people who had been arguing looked at me. I’m asking you to choose. Who is third and fourth? Chwima asked with earnest eyes.
“Brother. “I’m not the last, right?”
“It’s not the last time.”
“yes?”
That time when he smiled brightly.
“It’s somewhere in the middle. “I am the fourth of the eight mazon.”
Ilhwa Geomzone drank the winner’s drink.
“Not all friends or brothers are close friends, right?”
Chuma pouted his mouth and drank.
I was so thankful for these two people. How could these people be treated like this? Who would be in this position for the third or fourth time in the first place? You are holding back for me. They are willing to fight for third, fourth, etc.
“I’ll just tell you two today. You know the two people in front of you, right? Picky, bratty, and eccentric. Conversely, what about the two of you? “Of all the Magon people, you have the biggest heart, right?”
“Is it because you have a big heart? “It’s not because you’re easygoing, is it?”
When I made a flinching look at Chwima’s question, the two people laughed as if it was amusing.
The three of us toasted and emptied our drinks.
As he put down his drink, Chuma also shared some rather surprising news.
“Not long ago, Doma and I had a drink here with Geomzon.”
The image of three people drinking together was not easy to imagine.
“How was it? “Did you like it?”
“Would it have been good?”
Chuma sighed.
“There was no stabbing, right?”
“I almost flew.”
“Then that’s it.”
Then Ilhwa Geomzon spoke.
“What happens? “Don’t ever invite me to something like that again!”
So, if people who have a falling out reconcile so easily, why would there be fights in the world?
Anyway, it had meaning. Because Chwima was trying to reconcile the two.
I raised my glass and said with my eyes.
You worked hard, bro.
Chuma smiled and raised his glass. There are times when it is better to acknowledge one hardship than to say a hundred nice words.
“Now that I’ve said hello to your return, I’ll be leaving.”
I said goodbye and got up. I forced myself to get up, holding on to my trouser legs to drink more.
I can play with the mazons next time, but hunting with my father is not an opportunity that comes often.
Early the next morning, carrying a larger leather bag than before, I headed to Cheonmajeon for my second hunt with my father.
