Chapter 134: Chengjiang
The guild member who returned after delivering the shoes to Oh-ryeong whispered to the chief of the guard in charge of the lowest floor.
"The deputy master said he was going to kill Kim Seong-han."
"What do you mean? Are you really going to kill me?"
"I don't know, either, suddenly leave me alone ."
"Okay, let's go and eat."
"Yes, I will go first."
As the guild member walked by, the warden slid onto Kim Seong-han's grate and said,
"Hey, something's not right. It seems that O-Ryong is trying to sell you?"
Kim Seong-han, lying on the bed, got up from his seat, approached the guard's chief, and asked in a low voice.
"Are you selling?"
"Isn't there any reason to kill him other than that? Since there's little profit, they're probably trying to sell you to necromancers or weirdos for research purposes."
"What should I do?"
"You know the answer. You have to prove that you deserve to be alive."
"Are there any producers that have been sold? I don't think I've seen it."
"I've been there a few times, but it's the first time I've been to the bottom floor."
"Thanks for letting me know, Chief Warden."
"Good job, you don't know, but if you sell it, you will do something terrible."
"All right."
"The rice is here. Take good care of it."
"Yeah."
The jailer walked, and Yoroshi from the other side came up to the grate and said,
"Be strong. If you persevere, there will be a good day someday."
Kim Seong-han, with a dark complexion, squeezed his molars and nodded once.
"Yes, my lord."
"I've been looking forward to that person called Jun-woo Lee these days. It's a breeze, but he'll come here someday and save us."
Kim Seong-han's gaze turned to the prison room on the right.
The prison room was a prison where Jun-woo would have been imprisoned had he been arrested.
"I would really like that."
"Have hope. Even if Lee Jun-woo has no intention of saving us, won't our colleagues save us someday?"
"Colleague ."
Kim Seong-han smiled bitterly.
"Shall we come all the way from Daehan to rescue me?"
"If Daehan doesn't come, don't worry. The Okhotsogen family probably won't forget me."
"That's it again, okay. We will only believe in the Spirit and do our best."
"Okay, let's have a delicious lunch."
"Yeah."
Packed lunches and soup on the cart were distributed to the blacksmiths.
Kim Seong-han put it on the table and ate it, trying to clear up his dissatisfied heart.
"After ."
Taking a deep breath, Kim Seong-han waited for the production book to work on in the afternoon.
But the jailer said with a puzzled face.
"Oh-ryeong told me not to leave the recipe to you . It really doesn't seem like a normal problem."
"Leave it to me. I'll try to make it right today."
"Distribution is not something I can do as I please."
"Please do something. I'm going to make it really right."
"I'm resting for now. I'll try to convince you that you've come to your senses."
"Please, Chief Warden."
Kim Seong-han became a little anxious at the thought that it might be really sold out.

On that day, too, Jun-woo was helping disguise the people who would enter Chengjiang Prefecture.
The disguise was being done in Japan, too, but it wasn't as fast as Junwoo.
Jun-woo changed the faces of nearly 30 people in three days.
And the people who changed their faces went down to Jeju Island and boarded a boat to Vietnam.
The ship was divided into several groups, and many people were on board, including Sakaguchi.
When the ship departed, Sakaguchi reported to Jun-woo, and Jun-woo stayed in Korea to receive the report.
Aegis building in Macheon-dong.
Murata asked Jun-woo while sitting in the master room.
"I have seen some pretty famous guys in Japan the past few days. What's going on?"
"How did you know?"
"They remember their faces, so they don't recognize them when they wear masks. When I checked near the entrance for a while, there were many of them."
"Yes? It's no big deal. I'm just here to trade."
"There is something. Anyway, what did you call me for?"
"Do you know anything about Chengjiang Prefecture?"
"Chengjiang Prefecture? Are you talking about a place in Yunnan that Wulong manages?"
Ikegami said when he confirmed the direction the arrow was pointing.
"It's a strange thing."
"The location doesn't seem to have changed."
"It would be. Because he's locked up."
"I will report it first."
"Yeah."
Sakaguchi sent a messenger through the contact network.
[Sakaguchi: There doesn't seem to be a change in the location, I'll go around and figure it out accurately.]
Sakaguchi, who sent the messenger, said.
"Let's look around."
"Yeah, if you go nearby, you get stabbed, right?"
"I do."
"I have to be careful. It shouldn't happen suddenly."
In addition to these two people, there were about 30 other people in Chengjiang Prefecture in groups of two.
Only Ikegami, Sakaguchi, and four people were quick to approach the building.
As I entered the city center, I saw the towering Oh-ryeong building.
The massive 50-story residential complex was where the prominent guild members who followed Oh-ryeong, including Oh-ryeong, lived.
In the evening, when the neon signs twinkled, Ikegami passed by looking at a lighted signboard.
[This is Darkstar's administrative area. Crime is strictly prohibited here. Violation will be punished according to Dark Star's laws.]
It was an information board in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Ikegami had seen several such signboards before entering the city center.
"Forbid crime on the subject of criminals ."
"Let's have dinner here."
"That's right."
Ikegami and Sakaguchi entered a restaurant.
"Welcome, is the total of people coming in only you two?"
Sakaguchi nodded once.
"Sit this way."
The two sat down, and Ikegami glanced at the guide and spoke.
"Still, something is more normal than I thought. I thought the smell of blood would vibrate."
"They trust the Dark Star quite a bit."
"Trust me, the criminal group ."
"It is said that Yunnan is the best place to prevent cracks and backflow in China, and since crime is also thoroughly prevented in the management area, they say that there is not as much defection of indigenous peoples as expected."
"Huh, is it enough for anyone to just protect them ."
The guide came and spoke.
"I'll help you with your order."
The two of them had dinner there and went to a motel relatively close to Oh-ryeong building.
It was a difficult position to see someone coming and going, but it was a position enough to feel the energy of mana if someone moved quickly.
Ikegami looked at the window and spoke.
"I wish something would happen. Then you will get a rough idea of who and how many there are."
"Let's wait for the commotion."
They spent the day there waiting for even a tiny disturbance, but there was no disturbance.
Ikegami, who opened his eyes when the sun came up, said with dissatisfaction.
"It's terribly peaceful ."
"The more downtown Dark Star is located, the more they say it is."
"Let's take a look around."
"Yeah, we'll take a look when we're ready."

The next day, another criminal entered Chengjiang Prefecture.
The boy who had guided Sakaguchi quickly approached him and said,
"Welcome. Is this your first time here?"
The man looked down at the boy as if wondering.
"Lol, If you give me a little gold, I will guide you here.
"Yes? Is it prepaid?"
The voice owner was Lee Jun-woo, known to be in Korea.
"Thank you for paying in advance!"
"How much?"
"Well, 20,000 gold per hour? Rain, is it expensive?"
The boy looked into Jun-woo's eyes.
Jun-woo casually pulled out 300,000 gold from the item window and held it out.
"Tell me when the time is up."
"Go, thank you! Is there any place you are looking for?"
"A motel?"
"You need a place to stay. Let's go this way."
Jun-woo looked around and walked together in the direction the boy was pointing.
