Chapter 754

Episode 754. We are mixed Elyos

.

When Long made eye contact with Yeonjeokha, he hurriedly stopped the old people.

Then, he pointed to the old man in the lead.

“Daein This is the chief of my Daeshu Village. Chief, he is the deceased of the clan who came with the Elyos army.”

The village chief, who had been warned by Long beforehand, stiffened his waist.

“Oops! To think that the deceased of the clan came to such a shabby place... I am the village chief of Daesu Village. I heard the story from Long. We’ll give you anything you need. Just tell us about lodging, food, and anything else. I will make you feel like you are at home.”

“oh my. I don’t need to go to my house. It seems like it will only take a day, so please give me a place to stay and a meal to eat on time. There doesn’t seem to be an inn or restaurant, so I’ll have to take care of it.”

“Yes, yes, we will serve you as if we served our ancestors in Daesu Village. Please save me only from the devil’s hand.”

“Come to think of it, it looks like it’s lunchtime. Where can I go and eat?”

Yeonjeokha stared at the village chief.

Of course, nothing is free in this world.

If it wasn’t for himself, it was okay to ask for that much, since they were the ones who would die from the demon king.

“Oh, I will see you.”

The village chief led the way after dismissing the elders of Daesu Village who had been brought with him.

The village is so small that I didn’t even walk long, but I’m already in the center of the village.

The village chief pointed to the large house in the center and said.

“This is my home. Please use it as if it were my own home while staying in Daeshu Village.”

He nodded his head in suspense.

At first glance, the village chief’s house was the largest in the village.

The village chief took the deceased of the clan to the anchae he used.

“Wait a minute, I will prepare a meal for you. Long, you are talking to the great people so that they are not bored.”

“yes.”

Long, who followed, bowed deeply to the village chief.

When the village chief left the anchae, he sat down on the floor of the building and asked a sneak peek.

“What is your relationship with the village chief?”

“He is my father.”

“ah! no wonder.”

Yeonjeokha shook his head.

I was a little puzzled by Tong’s hospitable attitude towards the village chief, but I thought he was a family.

A moment of awkward silence passed between the two.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who was looking around the anchae, asked as if he had suddenly remembered.

“So, what happened to the Iron-level Witchbeast? They usually either run away or get eaten. By the way, the uncle’s party fought bravely and well?”

Yeonjeokha looked at Long.

If Hyolrang’s hind leg had been snareed properly, the result would have been different.

However, fighting an iron-level demon was only possible for disciples of the sect.

“Are you the disciples of the sect?”

Then Long waved his hand with a startled face.

“no. Are we disciples of the clan? Absolutely not.”

Long jumped up, but did not dispel the doubts of the rivalry.

Fighting against iron-level beasts or demon beasts is something ordinary munpa disciples cannot do even if they die and wake up.

That middle-aged Long and three young men did it.

‘I have no choice but to say no.’

The school’s management of disciples is quite strict, so once initiated, that’s it.

There is no concept of excommunication in the sect.

Once you become a disciple of the sect, you can only escape from the sect when you die.

There were no exceptions to this, as it was intended to prevent the leaking of sectarian practices.

Long said when the opponent did not abate his suspicions.

“We are of mixed Elyos.”

Little by little, the feeling of conflict disappeared, whether the strong mindset had worked or if I had gotten used to the cooking of the village chief’s house.

It was only then that he scooped up plenty of the food he was eating and began stuffing it into his mouth.

I just wanted to eat quickly and leave the village chief’s house.

The village chief spoke to him without even knowing what he was thinking.

“By the way, Daein Daesu Village is located in a place that leads to the Geumsan Mountain Range... but the Demon King could go another way, right? As you can see, the Northern Great Forest needs to be a bit bigger and wider.”

“When I spread the energy, I can feel the demon within a hundred li (about 40 kilometers) nearby. I don’t think the area leading to the Geumsan Mountains is wider than that. Isn’t it?”

“you’re right. It doesn’t go beyond a hundred li. Spreading the feeling to 100 li... It’s really amazing. Excuse me, but what clan are you the deceased from?”

“The place where I started was Soyojong.”

He did not reveal that he was a grand master.

I want to know what it means to people who live far from human society.

“haha! You were the deceased of Soyojong. Somehow, unlike the deceased, he was dressed neatly. When I was young, I saw the deceased of the blood master from afar. So, when was that time...”

The story of my childhood flowed from the mouth of the village chief.

Listening to the match, he moved his hands more quickly while he was dumbfounded.

Finishing their meal in a hurry, they left the village and approached the Elyos camp.

An Elyos who recognized him from a distance ran inside, and soon after, the commander of the northern forces, Frita Uberto, and his staff came out.

Embarrassed by the stares of the various Elyos, the younger enemy asked the commander of the northern army.

“What about the Demon King?”

“We have ambushed soldiers with excellent spirits around, but no demons have been detected yet.”

“Since you moved at the same time, will you come today or tomorrow?”

“I think so. A messenger came a little while ago. It is said that the subjugation of Cheondokgok is over and the demon king and high-ranking demons have not been found as expected. And I checked the crack in the back of Cheondokgok. I told the Northern Army to keep an eye on the Noksu Fortress area and inform them immediately if the Demon King is found.”

After the Northern Commander finished speaking, Chief of Staff Quirianos sneaked in.

“Before the subjugation of Cheondoggok, the northern army had almost occupied Noksoo Fortress. Of course, the Northern Army was also deployed on the road to the Cheongwan Mountains. If the Demon King had headed east, he would have been caught in the Northern Army’s surveillance net.”

“So you’re saying you’re sure it’s the Northern Forest?”

“That’s right. You’ll have to wait here for as long as it took the Demon King to get out of the rift. No matter how long that time is, it will not exceed tomorrow.”

Yeonjeokha nodded.

In the end, it was said that he would meet the demon king today or tomorrow.

The younger enemy, who was looking around, asked the chief of staff, Quirianos, again.

“Where is the right place to watch if the Demon King is coming?”

Quirianos, the chief of staff, pointed to the tall mountain south of Daesu Village.

“From the perspective of the mountain, that mountain looks fine.”

“Then I will go to that mountain. Let me know if the devil is found. I’ll come running in a month.”

Then, Quirianos, the chief of staff, held out a bamboo tube about a span of size to the younger enemy.

“what is this?”

“It is a three-color firecracker used by the Northern Army for signaling. If you find the Demon Lord Army, please use it. Point the sealed top side toward the sky and pull the string attached to the bottom to the back.”

I received the stacked bamboo tube and carefully inspected the top and bottom again.

The firecrackers of the Northern Army were the same as those used at the Jongmun.

“Okay.”

With his horse and firecrackers in his bosom, he soon flew up with his fortune-telling technique.

***

A mountain south of Daeshu Village.

They repeated reaping and retrieving spiritual energy until around sunset.

Although the body and mind were tired, there was also an unexpected income.

Repetition of simple ignorant actions made the management of spirits much more free than before.

It was like ‘when the mind is one, qi arises [心氣血精]’.

Eventually, it reached the point where spirit energy was released at the same time as thinking.

From then on, the release of aura became as natural as breathing – not hard work.

Around the time the ship growled, about a dozen Elyos came up the mountain.

He had come to stay up all night in his stead.

Without any fighting horses, he returned to the village chief’s house at once using fortune telling.
