Chapter 216

Episode 216 Are you scared of Extreme Soma?

The next morning, a carriage secretly left Cheonma Shingyo.

It was a carriage ridden by Geommugeuk and the Poison King of Extreme Evil.

And there were two people watching from afar. They were Geom Woo-jin, the Heavenly Demon, and Sima-myeong, the Commander-in-Chief.

“I have to resign from my position as Commander-in-Chief.”

When Geom Woo-jin looked at him with an expression asking what he meant, Sima-myeong smiled in self-deprecation.

“I never imagined that Duke Lee would make the poison king bark at the great banquet hall. “I knew that Duke Lee was extraordinary, but I didn’t know that he would even overthrow the King of Poison.”

Geom Woojin nodded.

“Me too.”

“There is one more shock there. “But I didn’t know that the church leader would allow this.”

“What can I do? “I promised.”

Sama-myeong knows that Geom Woo-jin is a person who never breaks his promises. That’s why it should have been cut from the beginning, but they gave him room to be a poisonous king.

‘Isn’t it possible that the religious leader expected this to happen?’

Sima Ming thought that might be the case. Regarding the sword dance, I couldn’t understand Geom Woo-jin’s feelings at all.

“While this is going on, please fully disclose information to the second child.”

“Yes, Tongcheongak will definitely support you.”

“Be prepared for any unexpected situation.”

There are two most serious situations that you may not know. The mission was successful, but it was revealed that it was the Celestial Demon God who dealt with Yayulhan, or Geommugeuk and the two demons failed to kill him, putting him in danger.

In both cases, the aftermath will be serious. Although the Apostolic Alliance cannot start a war against the Heavenly Demon Church, it will demand appropriate compensation, and if it does not accept it, it may end up joining hands with the Murim Alliance. Sword dance performances and instances where mazons died or were seriously injured were equally serious problems.

How can Geom Woo-jin not know this fact? Nevertheless, permission was given.

‘Are you hoping that this incident will destabilize the situation in Murim?’

Sima Myeong knew that Geom Woo-jin would one day draw his sword against Wu-rim. A sudden thought occurred to me that maybe they were trying to start this with this incident.

Anyway, one thing was certain. It’s not just the Mazons that have changed. I can’t say anything about Cheonma, but he has definitely changed. I was able to tell just by looking at that carriage here, which I would not have left in the first place.

‘I hope you succeed and come back.’

And the wind of change was blowing not only within the Church of the Heavenly Demon but also towards the martial arts world.

The person driving the carriage was Seo Dae-ryong.

When I went to Seo Dae-ryong last night and told him that we should leave together tomorrow, he started to attack me harshly.

“I don’t like it! “How dangerous are you going to take me this time?”

“It’s no big deal. Just drive a carriage or something. “I’ll do some errands later.”

“That makes it even more suspicious? “It smells dangerous.”

“It must be the smell of adventure. “It’s the smell of growth and the smell of memories.”

“It all adds up to a dangerous smell. Sorry, but I’m not going! With my victory in Soryong, my lifelong adventure came to an end. “Didn’t I tell you that I would live the rest of my life bragging about that?”

“It can’t be done without you.”

“There are so many demons at our school?”

“This is because the fate of me, our school, and Moorim are at stake. I need someone I can trust who will keep my secret until death. At least there won’t be any evil woman trying to tempt you.”

“You’re stabbing me where it hurts again.”

This was the one word that decisively moved him.

“I’m going to handle the case.”

Then, all the playfulness disappeared from Seo Dae-ryong’s expression.

“Then we should go.”

Seo Dae-ryong came by carriage this morning with the intention of punishing the person behind this incident.

“But why do you want to take a carriage? “Are you two going to Gyeonggong?”

“Because it’s not just the two of us going.”

“yes?”

Seo Dae-ryong took a quick look inside the carriage and was startled. He dragged me away from the carriage and whispered:

“Why are those two in the carriage?”

“That’s because you’re coming with me to help me.”

“You didn’t say that the carriage I had to drive was the carriage that the Extreme Evil Demon and the Poison King rode in! Come on, tell me everything. “Who is your enemy?”

“Yayulhan.”

Seo Dae-ryong, who blinked for a moment, asked.

“I know of only one Yayulhan... right? Hey, what kind of joke are you making so extreme? Please tell me no.”

The moment he turned around and tried to run away, I said.

“You must tell that child yourself. “We have come to avenge your family.”

Seo Dae-ryong turned around again. He said, walking towards the coach seat with slumped shoulders.

“A disciple of Thomas?”

It seems that it was surprising that this small and dwarf man was the next Hyeolcheon Doma.

It gave more power to Seo Dae-ryong.

“He’s also my right-hand man.”

The Poison King’s eyes turned to me. Even your right hand man? I spoke with strength as I looked into his eyes.

“I feel very reassured because I have that friend.”

Then the Poison King’s eyes turned to Seo Dae-ryong again. Of course, Seo Dae-ryong was a hundred times more burdened.

“That is an overstatement.”

Seo Dae-ryong bowed his head respectfully. At the same time, an electric sound flies in.

-Do not! Please don’t let the Mazons see me! Please treat me like I don’t exist!

When Seo Dae-ryong raised his head, I smiled and said.

“I also won the Soryong Battle between the best political faction leaders.”

I made sure to finish it while watching Seo Dae-ryong cursing me with his eyes and telling me to stop.

“You two will meet again in the distant future at the Mazon Gathering.”

Seo Dae-ryong, who gave up everything, looked up at the sky with a liberated face and smiled. I’ve made fun of everyone, so I have to go now.

“Now, let’s go.”

We got back on the carriage.

Seo Dae-ryong, who had been driving the carriage with excitement just a moment ago, drove the carriage cautiously like a novice coachman. I was afraid that I would come to a sudden stop again like before.

I said loudly to the coachman.

“If you run this slowly, you’ll have to switch places with me. “Do you want to come in here?”

The next moment, the carriage started running at breakneck speed.

* * *

The carriage ran and ran.

In order to leave no trace as much as possible, we camped without stopping in the village. When I ran out of the alcohol and food I had prepared, I went hunting, cooked the food myself, and served it to the Mazon.

Dog King, who tasted my cooking for the first time, was impressed and said that I was good at everything.

So we continued driving the carriage and arrived at the area where the golden pig Jiseng was.

Gowol and the head of the Pungcheon Church welcomed us at the safe house there.

When the King of Pok saw that Gowol and the leader of the Pungcheon Church were there, he asked me.

―Why is the Pungcheon religious leader here?

-I have a special relationship with my soldier.

―I heard that the leader of Pungcheon left his position as leader, but it was because of you.

―No, but do you keep sending me messages? Speak confidently. Pungcheon religious leader, what are you doing here? Why is the poisonous king of the world so scared?

-Are you like this because you’re scared? It’s because it’s awkward.

―Is it okay to bark in front of so many people? It’s okay to be confident in front of your father.

-That’s because it’s something that has to be done. I feel uncomfortable with all these people.

Still, it was a moment when I felt that my relationship with the Poison King had developed. Because he was honestly telling me those feelings.

After letting the two Majons undress in their respective rooms, I sat down with Gowol separately.

“That’s amazing. “You can even move the heart of the King of Poison.”

“What made those people move is closer to favor or curiosity toward me rather than loyalty to me.”

“I think that goodwill can be more powerful than loyalty.”

“That would be nice.”

I think my relationship with the Mazons is just beginning.

Getting truly close to someone is difficult. But what is more difficult than that is leading that close relationship. When the freshness and interest in new people disappear, boredom and disappointment are bound to take their place. There is still a long way to go with the Mazons.

“This is something that needs to be handled more carefully than any other matter.”

He knew better than anyone else the seriousness of this matter.

“Actually, considering the skills of Confucius and Majon, it is not difficult to deal with a group of subordinates. The problem is not to leave any traces of our school in their deaths and not to make Yayulhan nervous.”

Gowol seemed to have already thought a lot about this and that.

“I’ll stick to your plan.”

I’m not saying this to make you feel better. I plan to strictly follow Gowol’s words. How to raise a good soldier? Simple. Follow his plan and make it succeed. The higher the military’s confidence, the better the next plan will be. I will only have to adapt to the parts that go awry in his plan.

“Our first goal, Jisaeng, is trying to create a new fresh vegetable. “We recently found someone to take on that task.”

This is why it is useless to punish the inferiors. Only by eliminating the people who have made money from fresh vegetables, will the fresh vegetables disappear.

Gowol said with an expression that said he had already made a plan.

“It is said that he who chases a deer cannot see the mountain. What kills him will ultimately be his own greed.”

I guessed his plan and smiled.

“I think I should let people who like immortals know that among immortals, there are also evil ones.”
