Chapter 1516 – 1516. Map of Ascension
Mukjiryeon (墨地聯).
One of the requests I received from Cheon Yu-un was to investigate the branch of Mukji-ryeon located on Jongnam Mountain.
I did my own research on mukjiryeon.
Giru secretly leaks information about Mujiryun. High-class Giru is a place where rich or talented warriors often visit and drink, so information like this comes and goes.
Information will be stolen from the gisaeng, but on the contrary, information can be obtained from the gisaeng.
In conclusion, it was easy to get information about Mukjiryeon. Mukjiryeon had become a famous organization in the dark. Everyone who knows knows it. However, the gisaengs and other people did not know exactly what Mukjiryun did.
“Mukjiryun? It’s a pretty good place there. If you give money, you get things that are not easily available.”
“The warriors I know got their magic pills through mukjiryeon. There is a saying that they sell martial arts as well.”
“It’s kind of like a sunspot. It doesn’t sound like a great place.”
It was the courtesan’s answer. I had no idea what Mukjiryeon was. I don’t think it’s strange. That’s because Mukjiryeon is a strict place.
I also thought about making the Hwawolruju Gongbi. Because one information gathering ability is the highest level.
‘I don’t know if they are active here, but at least they know more than the gisaengs here.’
After obtaining appropriate information, he planned to infiltrate Mujiryun by receiving a secret bride from Mi-ryung.
And the plan went awry from the start. Before going to meet the Gongbi, Mu Ji-ryun contacted me.
I followed the note that Ji-ryun Muk gave me and headed to a shabby guesthouse a little far from the city. It is an inn for travelers. Just looking at it, it was a suspicious place.
A man was sitting there. He had a cold impression and was quietly sipping his tea. I approached him and sat down and asked.
“Mukjiryeon?”
He opened his mouth It was a calm voice that went well with the distant appearance.
“I am Mahobeol, the head of the Mukjiryeon Jongnam branch.”
I looked him up and down. It’s hard to figure out how much the realm is because it completely hides the momentum.
‘If it was Samjung, it would have been more coercive…. Probably on the same level as me.’
There were no weapons on the body. At least it seemed that way. The possibility of being hidden cannot be ignored. Either that, or he practiced Kwon Gak. He may have practiced qigong or sorcery.
“This is Joseon’s first sword, Eugene.”
“And the Cheonma Shingo’s Jeommyung Squad’s Seomjeon is also the place to be.”
I know my identity.
‘Are you going to cover that right away? Are you trying to take the initiative?’
Didn’t like it.
I immediately drew my knife. Visor! A blue river gathers on the blade.
“Calm down. I have no intention of fighting you.”
“I don’t mind fighting you.”
“If I die here, information about you will spread all over the world. Jongnampa will respond the fastest.”
“Did you call me here to blackmail me?”
He looked at me dumbfounded
“Isn’t Yeom Dae-hyeop doing the threats?”
I clicked my tongue and grabbed the knife. Momentum did not pick up. You can’t be overwhelmed by him until you become a strong master.
“If you called me to say something disrespectful, I will kill you.”
“I wanted to have a cup of tea and talk about Kang-ho, but he doesn’t seem to want to, so I’ll get right to the point. Did you receive an assignment from the Heavenly Demon Church to investigate the Mukjiryeon?”
“Even though they know me, they don’t know the mission I’ve been given. It’s halfway.”
“I only learned the identity of Yeom Daehyeop while investigating his activities. The Heavenly Demon Church is not a place to be taken lightly… It wasn’t easy to get confidential information.”
“Why do you ask about my mission?”
“It is because I am not sure. It’s because he asked too openly about Mukjiryeon.”
“What if that’s right?”
“I will offer you a deal.”
“What if no?”
“He will also offer a deal. We’re not stupid enough to fight a cataclysm.”
“…….”
I was lost in thought.
I didn’t like the atmosphere. I felt like I needed to let him know that I was not normal.
“Galseongjeon.”
“…….”
“Bring the Galseongjeon. I will talk to him.”
Mahobeol was silent. After thinking for a while, he slowly opened his mouth.
“Who is Galseongjeon?”
“Are you pretending not to know? Your acting skills are quite good.”
“It’s not acting. It’s because I really don’t know. There is no person named Galseongjeon in our branch.”
“You don’t know? You don’t even know the name of Mukjiryeonju after you become the branch manager?”
In [I woke up and became a heavenly horse], Cheon Yu-wun makes mukjiryun with a man named Galseong-jeon. Because Chen Yuun can’t easily break away from the Heavenly Demon religion, he set up a kind of pants boss. Of course, Galseongjeon was a talented guy. Because if he doesn’t have the ability, he can’t manage the lotus.
“Whoa. You seem to be misunderstanding something. Galseongjeon is not Mukjiryunju.”
“Did you come all the way here to escape?”
“Really.”
“…… Then who will stay?”
“Sorry, but that is confidential. Even if you tear me to death, I will not be able to speak.”
“…….”
In an instant, my mind became complicated.
Galseongjeon is not a superficial Mukjiryunju?
‘Same goes for the reverse demon… It’s completely different from the Mukjiryun I know.’
So, who is Mukjiryunju now?
I was silent for a moment, then said.
“The investigation of Mukjiryeon is not a direct mission from the Heavenly Demon Church. If you tell me who Mukjiryunju is, I can tell you more.”
“That answer is enough. Now it’s my turn to propose. Do you have any intention of joining the Mukjiryun? We will also support fake identities, elixirs, and martial arts. If you wish, I will help you train the reverse magic skill.”
“Go into the Mukjiryeon…. Are you going to make me a double agent, Jill?”
“That’s right. All you need to do is to tell us about the trends and information of the Heavenly Demon Church. We will do our best to help Daehyeop take its place within the Heavenly Demon Church. Are you satisfied with your position as a member of the Red Army?”
No way.
My goal was the top of the Heavenly Demon Church.
Enemy squad? Just a stepping stone
“Have you already recruited the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Demon Church?”
“It is not completely embraced. However, the strings were tied.”
“A business relationship.”
“They use us, and we use them.”
It was an enticing proposal.
The reason I maintain a good relationship with Chun Yuun is to quickly rise up the ranks within the Chunma Shinkyo. However, unlike the original work, Chun Yu-Woon’s growth rate and plan progress were slow. It is true that the background of this world is the Seonhyup world. There are too many things to consider.
‘More than anything, it bothers me that Chun Yu-wun didn’t have complete control over Muk Ji-ryun.’
As I looked around, I realized something strange.
“You’re only making this offer to the branch manager?”
“… What does that mean?”
“It’s related to the Heavenly Demon Church. It’s not a suggestion you can make on your own. Did Mujiryunju order it?”
“That’s right.”
“You cheeky. If you show up in front of me in person, tell me you’ll accept the offer.”
His eyes twitched. But that was only for a moment. He answered completely hiding himself.
“… I will tell the Lord Mukjiryun.”
“I hope we can meet before I go back to Protestantism.”
“That I cannot confirm. It is something the Lord Mukjiryun will decide.”
I snorted and got up from my seat and left the inn.
‘You cheeky bastard. Won’t you send me off as a strong master? When the opportunity arises, I’ll make you pay the price.’
The guy forgot Kang Ho’s duty. He had enough reasons to die.
•••
Mahobeol, the head of Mukjiryeon’s Jongnamsan branch, pulled out something from the barrier.
It was a small leaf made of special steel. The leaves were placed on the palm of the hand and infused with internal energy. Whoops. The leaves floated into the air.
“Lord Lian. It’s a mahobe.”
– How are you?
A somewhat nervous female voice echoed through the leaves.
“I accepted the offer. But….”
Mahobel reported what happened during the day. He expected Lianzhu to be furious. Because Ryeon-ju was hot-blooded. He used to rage like a thunderbolt when things didn’t go well.
– Hmm.
But Lianzhu was not angry.
– Well done. I thought you weren’t good enough to be serious.
“Are you going to meet him?”
-I have to meet you. You can get a sharp knife just by meeting them. This is a lucrative trade. Well, it’s hard to meet right now. Tell him that it’s taking a while to meet because he’s busy with work. Bring some elixirs as gifts. If he wants something, he listens as much as he can.
There was joy in her voice.
Mahobeol recalled the information about him that he had seen during the day.
“Do you really believe him?”
-Why?
“He is trash. Gnome is the descendant of Sappa who has gained power. He spends most of his day in Giru, deliberately picking fights with unmanned men. It is not uncommon for Haru to threaten Jeomsoi at Giru, and to kill a passing soldier because he does not like it. Also, one of the landlords who slandered him was found dead in a place away from the city.”
Haha. Why is that?
“I can’t trust him. He will betray us.”
-Some information is missing. He doesn’t touch women. In particular, he did not dare to step on the shadow of a beautiful woman.
“It’s just that it’s horny.”
-One more. Those who bend on their own won’t touch it. I have no idea how to use him. More than anything… Is it funny that you say that? Are you saying you can’t kill people you don’t like, and that preying on innocent humans is okay?
Mahobee bowed his head. He spoke after a long silence.
“…… Too many variables. He is unfit to handle with a knife.”
– I’ve already made my decision.
“It is difficult to understand. Do you really need him?”
-Yeom Guseok. He’s a man the goddamn boy pays attention to and trusts a little bit. You know, that son of a bitch is excellent at the highest level as far as one eye for people. The cornerstone will be the best knife to pierce his heart.
Mahobel closed his eyes. He won’t listen to anything he says to Lianzhu now. There was only one thing he could say.
“I will do as you command.”
