Chapter 184

Episode 184

“Huh.”

As I was watching Seo Ho-seon’s sword dance, I let out a low exclamation.

Quadddddd!

Two strands of swords came out from the sword point and roughly skimmed the ground.

‘It’s been a while since I crossed the wall.’

Should we really say that it is the life of the future?

The speed of consolidating the territory was incredibly fast.

Sigh!

Seo Ho-seon forgets his surroundings and falls into selflessness.

I quietly got up and left the clearing.

I thought it would be a good idea to give myself some time to check my martial arts skills.

‘I was worried for no reason.’

Seo Ho-seon’s growth was faster than expected.

In fact, it seemed to be faster than in my previous life.

In a way, I didn’t even know it was natural.

It was only a little later that Seo Ho-seon, who committed himself to the Demonic Cult, caught the eye of the second brother.

‘Well, for further growth than this, the legacy of Muyeongshintu is definitely needed.’

That way, I entered a blacksmith shop located in the downtown area of Chengdu.

The craftsman, who was sweating profusely and concentrating on his work, spotted me and ran towards me at a quick pace, bowing his head.

“welcome. “Branch manager.”

A muscular body that contrasts with the gray hair.

A majestic physique and tanned skin.

The scars on his forearms suggested that he had been a warrior in the past.

“The items I ordered...”

“The protective gear to be worn on the wrists and knees has been completed. Now all that remains is to add leather and straps. “The rest will take a little more time.”

“That’s fast.”

“Isn’t this a request from the branch manager and not from anyone else? “I put aside other work and make it my top priority.”

“thank you.”

“But did you come all the way to Ye to check the progress of the work? “I told you in advance that it would take at least a month...”

“There is one more thing I would like to request.”

“What is it?”

“I want to process iron and make it into a needle shape. Is that possible?”

“needle? “That is another tall order.”

There was a furrow between the old man’s eyebrows.

Mannyeonhancheol is the best material that every warrior dreams of, but it is also a difficult object to handle.

Processing was impossible unless you were a very skilled blacksmith.

Even as a craftsman who had been working with iron for decades, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed because he asked me to make a thin needle using such an item.

“I think it would be possible with Noya’s skills.”

“We’ll have to try it, but it’s probably possible. “The problem is that we haven’t made all of the previously ordered items yet.”

“That part is fine. There is no need to rush this order. “Please complete it before spring.”

“You’re putting too much pressure on the old man.”

“It’s not that I haven’t thought about visiting another blacksmith shop. But I felt like I would feel relieved if I left it to Noya. “There is no craftsman in this area better than Noya.”

“Since you praise me so much, I don’t know what to do.”

A wry smile appeared on the old man’s lips.

Even though he knew it was obvious, he seemed to feel better.

Recently, when I was dealing with Hyukseong Dojang, one thought came to mind.

‘It is difficult to unleash condensed brain energy and attack the enemy. So what if you put that energy into memorization?’

Basically, brain energy had the tendency to spread.

Because of this, it was difficult to maintain a stable form like Ganggi.

When it moves away from the body and is released from control, it disperses instantly and dissolves into the air, making it nearly impossible to use it as a means of long-distance attack.

Therefore, the method devised was ‘loading condensed brain energy into memorization.’

With this method, the retention power would definitely be higher than simply forming a sphere of brain energy and releasing it.

Since he had ordered the assassination of such a large Sega figure, it was not unreasonable for Seo Ho-sun to react in confusion.

“Even though he is a member of the Mo Yong family, he is a collateral figure. “Now I am also a member of the Murim Alliance.”

“.......”

“Don’t make that face. “At least we have to work within the territory of the Moyong family, right?”

“Whether it is working within the territory of the Moyong family or in the area where Maeng’s headquarters is located. “I don’t think there will be much difference.”

“You don’t have to worry about that part. “Mo Yong Hyowon is scheduled to be dispatched outside on escort duty soon.”

“Please tell me in a little more detail.”

“He said he was planning to go to Guangdong as Baek Su-gwon’s escort.”

Baek Soo-kwon belonged to the military department and was an expert who reached the pinnacle of excellence.

As he got older and his skills declined, he was put in charge of taking care of the internal affairs of the government, but during his active years, he was a strong man who was called a hundred great masters.

“Why in Guangdong....”

“It is to sign a supply contract with Jeokseong Trading Company.”

Jeokseong Trading Company was a large trading company that occupied the top spot among the top ten trading companies in the world and was based in Guangdong.

It was a contract between the Teen Sangdan and the Murim Alliance.

Mo Yong Hyo-won, who followed Baek Soo-gwon as an attendant, would stay in Gwangju for at least a month and carry out his duties.

“There will be plenty of time. All the warrior Seo needs to do is take advantage of the opportunity when Mo Yonghyowon is alone and suffocate him.”

“I don’t think it’s as simple as it sounds... but I’ll figure it out for now.”

Seo Ho-seon nodded with a bitter smile.

Although he was making noises on the outside, he must have been prepared in his heart.

“I have something I want to ask.”

“Please speak.”

“Why are you trying to kill Mo Yonghyoyuan? “I don’t think he’s such a great person that the captain should be concerned about him.”

Why do you want to kill Mo Yong Hyowon?

It was simple.

This was because he fell prey to the temptations of a traitorous businessman and committed large-scale corruption.

After meeting with Baek Soo-kwon, Jeokseong Sangju decided that he was not a person worthy of participating in his plan.

So I turned my attention to the people around me and approached Mo Yonghyowon, my bodyguard, and made this suggestion.

I will allow you to sit in a key position in the government.

We will also provide financial support.

Instead, please do one thing for me.

Mo Yong Xiaoyuan readily accepted the offer, and as a result, the Murim League suffered enormous losses.

However, I could not tell Seo Ho-seon this fact straight away.

Because Seo Ho-seon doesn’t know that I have returned.

If I told the truth, I would be treated like a crazy person.

After thinking for a moment, I shook my head and opened my mouth.

“I can’t tell you right now.”

“Then I won’t ask any more questions.”

I could have made up a lie and covered it up, but I decided not to.

There was no reason to do that and I had no desire to do so.

“It would be best to completely clear the field before spring. “Shouldn’t you show that you completed your first mission perfectly?”

“yes.”

* * *

Time passed quickly.

The season of cold winds has passed and the season of sprouts growing on the earth has arrived.

I stared at the carriage outside the window and sighed softly.

It was now time to prepare for a long-term business trip to Yunnan.

Hee hee hee!

The door of the carriage that stopped in the front yard of the branch was opened.

This man and one woman appeared one after another.

At first glance, a large man who appeared to be seven feet tall stood out in particular.

Bald head shining in the sunlight.

It was possible to guess the man’s identity just by looking at his clothes.

A Shaolin monk visited the Sichuan branch.
