Chapter 1221 – 1221. Map of Ascension
Head of the line.
The air in the waiting room right after the corner was turned was heavy.
Seonhae-do, the head of the Seongajang, looked into the sky in heavy silence. His retinas were playing the image of the man who had just declared war on himself and kicked off his disguise.
The state of Yeomgu-seok, which Seonhae-do felt directly, was the 2nd level of exodus. And the state of goodness is Ogi 2nd level. It was a different dimension. When Seonhae-do and Yeomgu-seok fought bare-handed, Seonhae-do was confident of defeating Yeomgu-seok within 3 moves. If Seonhaedo did his best from the beginning, it was not unusual for him to make a decision within 1 sum.
But the one I just saw was different. He didn’t think he could kill it all at once, like killing bugs.
Seonhae-do was rather overwhelmed by Yeomgu-seok.
That thick murderous intent is not something that can be emanated by a gossip. Thousands…. No, it is the one who killed more than tens of thousands of people.
‘… The more dangerous thing is the magic of the corner.’
Seonhae-do clearly saw the black magic that flowed from Yeomgu-seok’s body. The moment he saw the demon, Seonhaedo felt an instinctive fear.
‘To feel fear of a warrior from the place of departure and tremble your legs… It’s a shame.’
He thought Yeom Guseok’s magic was special.
Magic among magic. A bizarre martial art that is not even called martial arts. For example, magic skills that quickly become stronger while eating human flesh.
‘Either way he is dangerous. Although he has not yet completed the Ipmaso, he is a believer in the Heavenly Demon who has reached the state of exodus. His talent is real no matter what anyone says. As time goes by… A line head can be really dangerous.’
Sagittal flexor muscle
Those four letters do not disappear from the head of Seonhaedo.
He calmed down his trembling body by breathing for a while in the empty reception room, then shouted outside.
“Is anyone there?!”
“Yes. Lord!”
The escort warrior’s loud reply came back. In reality, it is more like a person who assists in business rather than an escort warrior. In modern terms, he is a personal assistant.
“I need to meet with the Duke of Chu and talk. Bring Choo-gong to the audience room right now.”
“Yes. Lord!”
Soon after, the door to the reception room opened and a young man entered. This man, who must have just passed the contract, was the target of Yeom Guseok’s mission, Choo Jeo.
Don’t be fooled by appearances. Choo-jeo was close to his 90s, no matter how he looked. He uses shape-changing plastic surgery to maintain his youth. Of course, plastic surgery is not the same as fire. Because he is a type of magic that only changes his appearance. As time goes by, he gets old, so if he wants to keep his youth, he has to undergo plastic surgery periodically.
By the way, you can’t judge an unmanned person who has reached the state by appearance alone.
There are many ways to stay young in this world. There is a representative technique, and there is also a martial art that prevents aging. One way is to find youth through a mysterious decision.
And there are those who naturally maintain their youth without magic, martial arts, or clever decisions. This is because the master’s body follows the image of his spirit. If the appearance of the spirit is young, the body is also affected by it to maintain youth.
But with age, not only the body but also the mind ages. That was the way of the world. Maintaining a youthful spirit even after living for tens or hundreds of years was a difficult task even for a high priest who had attained enlightenment.
“Sit in the front.”
Chu-jeo sat on the chair where Yeom Guseok had been sitting. He looked at the back of the chart of goodness. There were walls wet with green tea. Beneath it are scattered fragments of a smashed teacup.
“You must have already heard that someone came to Seongajang, right?”
“I heard that a warrior from the Heavenly Demon Church came to kill me. And I heard that the head of the house kicked him out. Thank you.”
“Chief Seon doesn’t easily dismiss diners. You have worked hard for the head of the ship, but will you throw it away like a devoted partner?”
“Lee Chu-jeo, I feel deep grace from the family head! I will surely repay this grace even at the cost of his life!”
“As expected, my choice was not wrong.”
Seon Ha-do, who smiled happily, soon erased his expression and said.
“But the work is not over. He’ll try to kill you. He’s from Lipmaso, and his mission is to kill you.”
“… From the mouth. Considering the timing now, it must be the third test. He has to go back to Ibmaso, so he will only have to hold out for the next ten days.”
“He can’t stand it.”
Seonhaedo said firmly. Hearing that serious and determined voice, Chuze waited quietly for his words.
“He’s no ordinary guy. If you leave him alone like this, he could endanger not only you, but also the head of the line. It’s a sacroiliac muscle… , He has to finish his work while he stays in Hagashi. I want to go ahead and kill him myself, but…. I am the head of the ship’s head. If I step out myself, I may have to make a life-and-death decision with the Heavenly Demon Goddess.”
“I will follow the will of the head of state. I will go ahead and kill him.”
“You’ll have a hard time alone.”
“Please trust me. I want to prove my sincerity to the family head.”
“I believe in you. But don’t you know better than me that the Heavenly Demons are not easy opponents? He is the dagger of the Heavenly Demon Church. He is the sharpest of all, and the most powerful of all.”
“…… After. You’re right. Heavenly Demon Religion. I underestimated them for a while. Lord, lend me the vanguard.”
Advance team.
It is the best armed force of the ship, consisting of 30 unmanned soldiers. The elite of the elite. Members of the vanguard had at least a standing rank of 5th dan or higher.
“I’m sorry, but the ship’s master can’t directly participate in this matter. Please understand my position.”
“… I understand. Even if you are the head of the line, it will be burdensome…. But the other way….”
“Chooser ball. Listen to my plans I plan to use the Byeongsaldan.”
Byeongsaldan (竝殺團) is a slaughterhouse (殺問) active in the surrounding area including Hagashi. In other words, it is a living group. They make a living killing people for money.
“Will the Byeongsaldan accept the request? Even if they’re crazy about money, they won’t be stupid enough to turn the Heavenly Demon Church into an enemy.”
“His situation is currently special. I was given the mission of the Heavenly Demonic Church, but I can’t use the name of the Heavenly Demonic Church.”
“… The third test of the lip mask… !”
“That’s right. And I have no intention of using them to kill him. It’s up to you to kill him. The gangsters will harass him. Very bitterly.”
“…… My job is to kill the weakened one. If I kill him, the Heavenly Demon Church won’t be able to say anything directly to the head priest.”
Seonhae-do held his breath for a moment. He played his anguish, contorting his face.
“…… It breaks my heart to have to tell you this… , When this is done….”
“You don’t have to put on such a distressed expression. I will kill him and leave Hagashi. Thank you for taking care of me during this time.”
Chuze understood his situation.
As long as the Cheonma Shinkyo found itself, it could not continue to stay in the Seongajang. He praised the goodness in words, but in reality he couldn’t believe the goodness.
Seonhae-do was the head of the ship’s household. Contrary to the thoughts of the people, he was not a fair and fair compromise. If the Cheonma Shinkyo officially asks for a Chujo, Seonhaedo will not hesitate to hand it over to the Cheonma Shinkyo. If you kill Chuzzer, I will kill you.
It was best to leave while maintaining a good relationship with the head of the ship.
“Where do you plan to go after work?”
“I am thinking of leaving for the south, which is not affected by the Heavenly Demonic Church. I was thinking of leaving from the beginning.”
“Have you saved up enough money?”
“Thanks to you, I saved a lot of money, but… It’s a bit lacking.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the travel expenses generously.”
“Thank you, Daehyup! I will never forget this grace!”
“Whoa. I have a lot to do. Just get up.”
•••
I enjoyed boating at Boilu in the afternoon, and visited other Giru at night. It is a city that has come a long way. I was wondering what the other giru was like. Shouldn’t other Giru courtesans also try the taste?
Another Giru was recommended by Boilu. Hagashi’s giru maintain cooperation rather than compete with each other. In modern terms, it was a corporate collusion. Of course, it’s illegal in modern times, but it wasn’t particularly so in this world. There were few people in control.
‘In the first place, this world is not a world where the emperor manages the city with bureaucrats… It’s a world where the Moorim faction is used to manage the city. Collusion between stores is at the level of aegyo.’
The emperor is incompetent That was absolutely not the case. Quite the opposite. Emperor is competent. The reason for this management style is that his territory, the continent, is so vast. There are thousands of cities on this continent, with a population in the tens of billions.
Compared to its enormous scale, its level of civilization was close to that of the Middle Ages. Occasionally over-technology appears, but it’s really rare.
‘This is a world without computers. It is impossible for the emperor to manage the entire continent alone. Well, the emperor didn’t create a system to use this faction.’
From the beginning, the munpa has managed the area. The emperor unified the continent with overwhelming force and took Murim under himself. Murim obeyed the emperor’s laws, and he had to pay taxes to the emperor.
As I walked down the street thinking about this and that, I stopped. Today was a day when the moon did not rise. It was dark everywhere. I don’t hear a single bug. I can see the light coming from Giru in the distance, but it’s too far away.
“…….”
Nettle liquid.
A matte dagger flies out of the darkness. It blends into the dark and is hard to see. However, the sound of ripping wind indicated its location.
He drew his sword from his waist and slashed the dagger upwards. The dagger spun in the air and fell to the floor. I face the darkness, kicking the fallen dagger as if to vent my anger.
[I open my eyes.]
I see the guys hiding in the dark.
All of them are covered in black clothes and masks. However, there are things they don’t know. As long as Cheonan is not blocked by magic, it is possible to see through. Check their faces They are all unknown faces.
‘There are only six people in sight. He is good at hiding his presence. It’s not a soldier at the ship’s head, but a water cannon.’
It’s obvious who hired the waterman and sent it to me. Even if it’s good
‘I can’t come out in person because of the Heavenly Demonic Church, so are you going to come out like this?’
I gripped the hilt tightly. I get annoyed at the thought of goodness. Fortunately, there was a target to take out anger in front of me.
‘Kill them all… !’
Ran towards the killers.
