Episode 362: We all promised together (1)
Yu Seol was squatting in the corner of the Shakajajang, staring intently at the entrance.
It was a very serious face.
Even though it was time for the grandfather to return, there was no sign of the nose.
‘It’s definitely past time to arrive...’
No matter how late it was, it should have arrived in the morning.
This has never happened before, so what on earth is happening?
At that time, someone came up behind me and asked cautiously.
“The great hypocrisy of evil. “What’s wrong with you skipping meals?”
It was Seok Mun-hyeok, the head of the Seok family.
“I just don’t have an appetite.”
“hmm. “It looks like Yang Goe Daehyup, who was supposed to come last night, is late.”
“Yes, something is strange. “I’ve never had anything like this before.”
He wasn’t like his usual grandfather.
I was so worried that something had happened.
“Maybe you haven’t saved Cheonjamsa yet? Because it is such a rare ingredient, it will not be easy to find. That amount would have to be in a drawing room...”
That was the place my grandfather went to, but why was there any need to say it?
A sigh naturally flowed from my mouth.
“Ugh.”
At that time, Seok Mun-hyuk suddenly handed me something with a faint smile.
“I brought some dumplings. Even if you don’t have an appetite, try some.”
“Thank you, grandfather.”
After handing over a large dumpling, he headed back to the workshop.
And Yoo Seol, who was left alone, ate dumplings and stared at the entrance to the manor again.
Should I go out to find my grandfather right now? At a time when I was worried and worried.
Yoo Seol jumped up from his seat.
This is because I felt a familiar energy approaching.
just as expected. After a while, the grandfather who had been waiting at the entrance appeared.
“baby. “Why are you here?”
Yoo Seol walked up to me with a grumpy face.
“What did you do to come so late? “Do you know how worried I was?”
“What are you doing here? “I came here while looking for ingredients.”
I looked into my grandfather’s various aspects with a suspicious look.
A face that somehow looks gaunt. And even the lips were slightly swollen than usual.
“What did you do with grandma? “Are you late because you’ve been kissing all night?”
Yu Jin-san looked embarrassed and denied his granddaughter’s suspicions.
“What do you mean? My grandmother asked me to help her with something, so I worked all night. In return, I received free Cheonjamsa worth 500 nyang.”
Yu Seol’s eyes widened when she heard that she had received Cheonjam Temple for free.
“Grandma just gave you 500 nyang worth of silver coins? “You really don’t have to pay it back?”
“That’s right. “That’s why it’s late.”
For some reason, he looked tired. I don’t know what it was, but it looked like he had gone through some trouble.
Anyway, because of that, Eunja stiffened up to five hundred nyang.
Yu Seol hugged the grandfather’s neck with a bright expression.
“Good job~ As expected, my grandpa is the best!”
“Hmm! “Let’s first hand over the ingredients and then come back.”
Joson headed to the workshop with lighter steps.
Five masters were sitting in a row applying a special treatment to the scales.
“I’m sorry I’m late.”
When Yu Jin-san made a show of popularity, the head of the family, Seok Mun-hyeok, who was supervising the work, came running in a huff.
After receiving the Cheonjamsa, he put both hands together and said.
“Oh no. “I had no idea you would retrieve this precious item so quickly.”
“If there’s anything else you’re missing, just tell me.”
Seok Mun-hyuk shook his head and said.
“It can’t be. “I personally checked the inventory of the remaining materials.”
Now that the ingredients were ready, all that was left was to wait.
Depending on that period, you will be able to decide your next move.
“How long will it take to produce?”
“I expect it will probably take about two months.”
Jinsan Yu couldn’t believe his ears for a moment.
Two months to make just one suit of armor?
It was impossible to dress the granddaughter before the confrontation with the Murim Lord.
“Couldn’t you shorten the period?”
Now I had to move forward again.
“Cheer up. “I’ll listen to all the talk on your behalf.”
As if complaining, Yoo Seol hit the grandfather’s chest with his small hand.
“Grandpa, you already know everything. But who on earth does that?”
“It hasn’t been revealed yet. “From what I heard from my grandmother, it seemed like I was attacked by a guy using a red blood magic technique.”
Yoo Seol, who had calmed down to some extent, said, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand.
“I’ll have to check. “Let’s go to the ghost gate.”
Even if that wasn’t the case, Jinsan Yu also planned to do the same.
Whoever the evil thief is, it is clear that he is a world-class expert that we must be wary of. It seemed like a good idea to take a look.
Moreover, it was relatively not far from here.
“OK. “If we leave now, we will be able to arrive within today.”
At that time, the granddaughter was looking at the sky with both fists clenched and muttering something.
“Wait a moment, gentlemen. “I will catch you and break every bone in your body one by one.”
Yu Jin-san, who had been imagining things for a moment, shook his head excitedly.
This is not a joke, because it was clear that he would really do that.
‘Tsk. He killed Seol’s acquaintances without any fear. I don’t know who it was, but they made a very big mistake.’

Entry to Gwisalmun’s manor was prohibited.
This is because the leaders of the Apostolic Alliance had come and were investigating the scene.
However, even though a considerable amount of time had passed, no additional clues could be found.
“What kind of damned bastard he is, he is extremely cruel.”
The commander in chief was Munjong, the sixth-highest rank in the Sadōryun, a highly renowned expert.
He was now looking into the kitchen with his back to me.
The swordsman assisting him next to him asked cautiously.
“What do you mean?”
Moonjong gestured toward the storage cabinet with a hole in the corner.
“They even found the ordinary people who were hiding and killed them all. “No matter what, it is right not to mess with the family members.”
At that time, someone in black came up behind him and put his hands together.
“My lord, I think you need to come outside for a moment. “I want the person in charge to come out quickly.”
Munjong frowned as if he was in a bad mood.
How dare anyone tell him, the sixth-ranking member of the Apostolic Training, to come and go?
“What kind of bastard? “Can’t you see I’m busy right now?”
After hesitating for a moment, the man in black tilted his head and answered.
“The Yin-Yang Twin Monsters came to visit. Shall I tell you that I’m busy?”
“Why are you saying that now, you crazy idiot!?”
King Munjong was so desperate that he pushed him away and rushed out.
The two children appeared to be waiting at the entrance of the manor with their backs turned.
Among the two, he bowed down, putting his hands together in front of the eum-goe.
“Oh, long time no see, Daehyeop. “I was with you during the Geumyangsa Temple bloodshed last time...”
The Geumyangsa Temple bloodbath was an incident that took place in the past at Mt. Hoiyun in Shaanxi.
It was a great feat to counterattack and wipe out the leaders of the political faction who were gathering to attack Paedomun at the time.
“I know everything. “You also fought with me back then.”
“I’m honored that you remember me. “But what are you doing here?”
Yoo Seol asked as he glanced around the inside of the manor.
“Have you found out anything?”
“Please eat inside first. “I think it would be a good idea to see it for yourself.”
Joson entered Gwisalmun Gate under the guidance of King Munjong.
My eyebrows were furrowed as I looked around the scene.
Looking at the blood stains left here and there, I could imagine how brutally he must have been murdered.
“Ssi...”
King Munjong was startled and turned his head at the muttering of an evil sound coming from behind him.
“Perhaps I made a mistake with Daehyeop...”
Yu Jin-san, who was watching silently from the side at that time, answered on his behalf.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry. “But have all the bodies been laid to rest?”
“A few bodies were left in a specially treated state because the investigation has not yet been completed.”
At that time, Yu Jin-san, who had been listening indifferently, tilted his head slightly to the right.
‘No, but look at this guy?’
This is because the way he spoke to his granddaughter was different from the way he spoke to himself.
Part of me wanted to hit him, but what could I do?
Ranking in Sapa was determined by military merit and reputation, so it was inevitable.
“Please show me the bodies first.”
“I understand.”
