Episode 253: The Secret of Haereung Island (1)
Jo-son moved to the tropical tree forest on the highest hill.
It was a location where it was possible to spy from afar because of the clear visibility.
The two first created a hiding place. It was a space large enough to store luggage, etc. and simply relax.
And now, they were squatting together on a tree and looking around.
“Grandpa, what are these people doing?”
Everywhere, people wearing pure white masks were walking around in groups of twos and threes.
Everyone appeared to be shirtless, and each had a weapon visible at their waists.
“They must be patrolling kids. “But it doesn’t look normal.”
“Then what is that farm?”
Eugene San looked at the direction his granddaughter was pointing to.
On one side of the island, a red field was spread out neatly.
There, too, there were undoubtedly people wearing white masks. They seemed to be squatting down and harvesting something.
“hmm. If you want to make a living here, you have to farm. But it doesn’t seem to be what we are used to.”
Since these were crops I had never seen before, I couldn’t give a clear answer.
Yu Seol lost interest and changed the topic.
“But if we all wear masks, how will we recognize each other?”
“Perhaps, I think it was intentionally masked with that intention. “Then it’s easier to control.”
“A warrior dragon?”
How dare you call a fearsome figure who terrorized the southern martial forest as if you were a local friend. I couldn’t help but laugh.
Jinsan Yu smiled and nodded.
“OK. By the way, can’t you see the other entrance?”
“huh. “There’s nothing there other than the front door.”
We had to sneak into the interior of the wall surrounding the center of the island.
However, there was no room to sneak through the watertight, impenetrable perimeter.
“It won’t be easy. “I never thought they would protect it so double and triple.”
“Then let’s just break through.”
It’s not impossible.
No matter how many warriors there are, they will not be able to stop the yin-yang twin monsters.
But getting inside was the problem.
There is no information about what is inside and what kind of experts are there.
It was something I couldn’t risk.
“If you go in blindly, you may end up in trouble. First, let’s find and capture someone who might know what’s going on inside.”
“You want to kidnap me?”
“Kidnapping. When you say that, it makes us sound like villains. “I’m just saying, let’s bring him in and ask him.”
Yoo Seol nodded, turned on the light in his eyes and looked around.
While searching for a suitable target, he pointed out someone with an interesting look on his face.
“Grandpa. “That person’s mask is a different color.”
It was a road where over 200 people had fallen.
A figure wearing a black mask was passing by with an arrogant gait.
Whenever those wearing white masks encountered him, they lowered their heads.
At first glance, he was a person of class. There must be something you know.
“I found it very well. good job!”
Yoo Seol smiled brightly, probably feeling better at the long-awaited compliment.
“Hehe. “Let’s go quickly and catch him.”
“OK. “Let’s move over there.”
Eugene San and Yu Seol took a detour up the hill, leaving no trace. It was a deserted direction.
Perhaps because it is a southern island, there were many tall tropical trees.
There was no better environment to hide in.
After a while, the two arrived at their destination and hid behind a tree.
Although Yu Jin-san and her granddaughter did not learn the assassin’s secret techniques, they were able to perfectly store energy inside.
Therefore, unless your martial arts skill was at the same or higher level, you would never be able to find it.
– Should I attack you now?
Yu Jin-san gestured to his granddaughter, who had sent a message, telling her to wait.
The target was a black mask, but there were also three white masks.
If you put your mind to it, it wouldn’t be an easy task to beat him in one go. But there was no need to attract attention.
– no. It would be best to wait a bit and catch the guy wearing the black mask.
Eugene San and his granddaughter, who hid behind a tree, waited until they dispersed.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long.
After a while, the person wearing the black mask started walking alone in the opposite direction.
‘You’re in no state to open your mouth to threats. ‘What on earth happened?’
From the strange face to the blurry eyes. I couldn’t understand at all.
It was a moment when I was lost in thought about what to do.
“Grandpa, there’s a ship coming in!”
A ship was slowly approaching from the open sea.
Isn’t this island a place where even government warships are reluctant to approach? In that case, they must be in the same league as those who occupied this island without permission.
But the shape was a little strange. The structure was definitely different from that of the midfielder.
And on the deck, I saw huge boxes stacked neatly.
“It looks like these guys are dabbling in smuggling.”
“Smuggling?”
“OK. It is clear that illegal bartering is taking place. “Probably doing business with other countries.”
The docks in the southern part of the Central Plains are under strict surveillance due to the blockade policy, so smuggling trade will not be possible. Given the circumstances, it was only possible to infer that the transaction partner was a foreign country.
And it seemed like there might be another island or a place in the middle to exchange supplies.
“What are we trying to exchange? I’m curious.”
Just like my granddaughter, I was also curious about Eugene Mountain.
What on earth are these guys up to?
I just couldn’t pass it up.
“Grandpa will come check soon, so please watch over this guy for a while.”
“You have to come quickly.”
“OK. “Don’t go anywhere.”
Yu Jin-san ran towards there, clutching a spear.
After a while, I went to hide in the forest of trees on the hill.
With about a hundred miles left from the shore, his steps suddenly stopped.
‘What is that guy again?’
About twenty miles ahead.
A middle-aged man was seen hiding in a tree, spying on the shore.
Even at a glance, the martial arts skills seemed great.
Judging from the momentum felt, it seemed like it was about to reach its peak.
One peculiarity was that he did not wear a mask and his clothing was different.
‘Are you saying you’re not a subordinate of the warrior dragon? ‘Then what is this guy doing?’
Yu Jin-san postponed approaching the coast and followed him.
He took advantage of everyone’s attention focused on the ship and approached somewhere secretly.
A little while later, when he arrived, there was a shabby warehouse standing there.
Two warriors wearing white masks were guarding the entrance, but they could not stop him.
Sigh-! Phew!
After easily defeating the two, he looked left and right and entered the warehouse.
And Yu Jin-san hid himself and watched what he brought out.
It didn’t take that long.
After a while, he reappeared and there was a sack on his shoulder.
‘Is it a bag of rice? ‘Why did you steal that?’
It was something I couldn’t understand.
He looked around and eventually started to run away to where he came from.
Mt. Yujin, which was located on a high terrain, was watching the scene at a glance.
“hmm. “Wouldn’t it be difficult to go that way?”
Because the masked warriors were approaching there.
The problem was that there was a red masked warrior among them. Even though there was only one person, it was clear that he was an incredible expert even from afar.
I wanted to at least warn him, but there was no way.
just as expected.
Beep-!
It was a whistle sound. At the same time, masked warriors were seen flocking to where the middle-aged man was.
He was startled and tried to run away, but was quickly surrounded. This is because the number of masked warriors was so large.
Soon after, he began a grueling fight alone.
His left hand clutched the rice bag on his shoulder and he frantically swung the sword held in his right hand.
Kaan-! Kang-! Kakang-!!
It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.
The siege continued to thicken, and the red-masked warrior who seemed the strongest had not even intervened yet.
Jinsan Yu looked at him pitifully and clicked his tongue.
“Tsk, tsk. It was a good attempt to steal, but an escape route should have been secured in advance.”
First, I decided to watch a little more.
This is because I have not yet decided whether it is worth taking the risk to help.
