Chapter 407

Episode 407:

I couldn’t quite understand it.

The ritual vessel I destroyed was a sacred object of the Demonic Cult?

What kind of ghost-forgetting noise is this?

‘Wasn’t the sacred object an oracle bone hidden in the heart of the body made by Muyeongshintu?’

It didn’t take long for my confused mind to calm down.

One possibility crossed my mind.

‘no way.’

Stereotypes were truly scary.

Why did you assume there would be only one new object?

It felt like all my doubts were resolved at once.

[Didn’t I tell you? It is said that oracle bone inscriptions were used to tell fortunes and record them.]

[Divination and foresight. Don’t you think there are many similarities?]

[You seem to think you have regressed, but I think differently. Perhaps you have the same precognitive abilities as me. It’s just that the quality of his abilities is so high that he can’t even be compared to mine. Well, in the end, it may not be much different from returning.]

The words Hao Wen-ju said to me in the past flashed through my mind.

He assured me that I had the same precognitive abilities as him, but I thought differently.

I assure you that I was a regressor, not a prophet.

‘I was curious as to why everyone had different perceptions.’

The secret was revealed through the records left by reporter Cheon.

Hao Wenju and I were each given the power of different divine beings.

‘Perhaps there were not one, but two divine objects sleeping in the secret cave of Muyeong Shintu.’

The power of the divine being with the power of return is for me, and the power of the divine being with the power of wisdom is for Hao Wenju.

When I thought about it that way, the front and back fit together perfectly.

When the flag was torn to pieces in front of Ma Jyoju.

I remembered how the debris that fell to the ground weathered in an instant.

Perhaps the new object with the power of return also turned into dust and disappeared?

As a result, only the oracle bone, which contained the power of foresight, remained, throwing me and Hao Wenju into confusion.

‘I thought it was somehow strange.’

Even though he was the greatest thief in the central plains, in the end, Muyeongsintu’s essence was that he was a thief.

He was by no means the type of person to hang out with Reporter Cheon, a great figure in the political faction.

‘To put it in an analogy, it’s like a city government scammer and a government official getting together. Reporter Cheon must have been reluctant to join hands with Muyeongsintu, as his social position was important.’

Despite this, Gija Cheon helped him steal the sacred items of the Demonic Cult.

He didn’t stop there, he also helped create a secret storage area to hide the stolen items.

I was wondering why the two sides cooperated, but this has made it clear.

‘Muyeong Shintu promised to hand over one of the three sacred objects in return for cooperation, and Reporter Cheon accepted the offer. It would be natural to think that way.’

If Muyoung Shintu, who personally infiltrated the Cheonmagung Palace and stole the items, had two sacred items and the other one was passed on to Gija Cheon, it would be understandable that the world’s best Jinbeopga and Daedo were co-fighting.

[Oracle bone?]

[Hahaha!]

[I see. You mean you didn’t activate the divine object of your own will?]

Now I think I understand.

Why did the religious leader who exchanged a few words with me in the middle of the Cheonnajimang react the way he did in the past?

The religious leader knew.

There is no connection between the power contained in the oracle bone and its return.

‘perhaps.’

The Demonic Cult’s invasion of Hubei may have been caused by me.

The religious leader must have felt confident through his conversation with me.

The sacred object hidden by Reporter Cheon will remain unused and unharmed.

[...Do you know what you have done?]

[I will never forget this resentment.]

Everything was explained clearly.

The reason why the religious leader tried to occupy the ruins of Banghyeon (房縣) even by mobilizing a large army.

Seo Ho-seon hesitated for a long time, keeping his mouth shut.

That was inevitable because the identity of the old couple was none other than Seo Ho-seon’s biological father and mother.

When the leaders of the Sacheon branch, including me, moved to the headquarters, the two were persuaded by an anonymous applicant to move to Honam.

[Manager.]

[Please speak.]

[There is one thing I would like to ask you.]

[......?]

[When I return to Honam, I plan to visit my parents and tell them that I am their child and tell them everything that has happened. ]

[Have you finally made up your mind?]

[Yes.]

[So, how can I help you?]

[Please come with me. I would like to introduce the manager to my parents and tell them that he is the person I serve.]

[That’s a good excuse. Isn’t it just scary to go there alone?]

[I won’t deny it.]

Seo Ho-seon, who had been secretly watching from afar, finally mustered up the courage to stand in front of his parents.

For Seo Ho-seon, his parents were a sore finger and an obstacle.

A family that was kidnapped and separated by a murderer when they were young.

He had been reluctant to show himself to his parents due to a long history of blood on his hands, but he seemed to have had a change of heart recently.

“...I didn’t come here because I needed accommodation.”

Seo Ho-seon finally spoke.

The suppressed voice was filled with overflowing emotions.

The fruit basket in both hands looked as heavy as a thousand pounds of stone.

Did you feel an unusual atmosphere?

The old couple stepped back, showing caution.

It was a completely natural reaction.

To the general public, martial people with swords are an object of fear.

“My name is Seo Ho-seon.”

“...!”

“I’m sorry for coming to see you so late. “I send my greetings to the parents who gave birth to an unfilial child.”

Humans were foolish creatures.

Because it is only when you lose that you realize the value of what you have.

Seo Ho-seon was also like me in the past.

The sadness of losing a colleague who had been with him for a long time became the driving force that allowed him to take another step forward.

The back of Seo Ho-seon, who lowered his head as if he couldn’t stand the gaze, looked as pitiful as a puppy getting caught in the rain.

The fear he was feeling was conveyed through his skin.

The father, with his expression as hard as a stone, carefully approached Seo Ho-seon.

The wife quickly grabbed her husband’s wrist and gently shook her head.

At first glance, it seemed like he didn’t completely believe what Seo Ho-seon said.

He had no choice but to do so.

If a child who disappeared decades ago suddenly came and revealed his identity, anyone would be confused.

‘I guess I should step forward at this point.’

I quietly watched the situation and slowly took steps.

It was my role to provide appropriate help in this situation.

When I approached the three people, I politely greeted them and introduced myself.

“My name is Yeon-woon, and I am the head of the Cheonangambu of the Murim League. “This is how I get to meet the warrior’s parents.”

“Yeo Yeonsoon?”

“Are you really the Dragon King Daehyup?”

“They are called by that nickname. “I am also a sponsor who has supported both of them anonymously.”

There was astonishment on the old couple’s faces.

The two people look at Seo Ho-seon and me alternately with embarrassed faces.

I drew a line around my mouth and invited them to sit down on the flat table.

“It’s okay, even if it’s just for a little while. “Would you like to hear the story?”
