Chapter 1542 – 1542. Map of Ascension
Single tax.
The Dokgo family, which once had a reputation as the best family in the world, was now in a state of decline.
A family of ambiguous power, bigger than a small clan, but smaller than a prestigious clan.
Dokgo Sega always wants to go higher.
Dokgo Chungha, the owner of Dokgo family, has had a talent for radish since childhood. She was a genius With that talent, she overpowered her brothers and took her place as a cow.
She will one day become the owner of Dokgo. However, the current dokgo family did not like her. Power was too small. Even if you try to increase your power, you can see the notice of the Murimmaeng. The Murim Maeng has been keeping Dokgo family in check until now. It was because in the past, one of Dokgo’s blood relatives had caused a blood coup.
‘If this continues, even if I become the family head, the Dokgo family will not be able to become the best Moorim family.’
When she was on the edge, her opportunity came.
A war broke out between the Murimmaengmaeng and the Heavenly Demons. The Moody League did not want help from Dokgo Sega. Even without Dokgo Sega, she thought that the strength of the Murimmaeng was enough. However, the meaning of openness belonging to the Gupabang, the center of the Moorim League, was different.
The opening came secretly to the dokgo family.
An old beggar with seven strings, meaning the elder of openness, came to visit.
Soonggae (騷翁丐). It was an open beggar famous for wandering around rivers. Dokgo family welcomed him. Although he is a beggar, he is an elder of openness. He was a master who could never be ignored.
Dokgo family members welcomed him.
“Soonggae! I am well aware of your reputation. Welcome to Dokgo Sega.”
“I didn’t come to Dokgo Sega to be welcomed. I have something to suggest to the Dokgo family.”
Dokgohan, the current head of the Dokgo family, asked cautiously.
“Do you mean Murim Maeng?”
“The Murim Meng is very busy right now. The enemy of the Heavenly Demons Church has destroyed the Volcano faction, and they are scattered and running away. The Murim Maeng is frantic in chasing them. In the process, our opening, who is in charge of information for the Murim Maeng, is running around until the soles of our feet sweat.”
“Of course, we are aware of the hard work of opening up. Not only us, but all factions of the political faction will respect openness.”
“It’s a mouthful.”
Soonggae cut off. Dokgohan was displeased, but did not show it.
“We need the help of the Dokgo family to open up.”
“… It’s hard to say that you need help without saying anything.”
“Yeom Gu-seok, the island warlord of the Red Army, will pass by this place in a week and leave for the Demonic Bridge. It’s one of the pieces of information that our opening has obtained.”
Island Jeondo Yeomguseok!
Dokgohan had heard the name several times. Seomjeondo Yeomgu-seok became famous for his bad relationship with the opening. The anecdote that in a certain city they massacred the beggars in the city to find the spy of the opening was spreading.
It wasn’t just murder. Horrible rumors were circulating that beggars had to be decapitated and put on a spearhead, and that beggars were put in a boiling pot and boiled to death.
Because of this, when I heard the name Yeomgu-seok, which is also called Seojeon, I grinded my teeth.
“I will kill the warlord Yeomguseok. Please help Dokgo Sega with that.”
“… Didn’t you say that the Moorim Maeng is tracking down the enemy? What is the Murim Meng doing?”
“Yeom Gu-seok is a kid who just joined the Red Army. The Murim Meng is aiming for a bigger fish than Yeomguseok. That’s why the other Elders of Opening can’t come forward. Opening is in charge of information for the Murim Maeng, so we can’t focus on just one person.”
“I understand the situation. However, it has nothing to do with our family. Dokgo Sega did not belong to the Murim Alliance, and he has no personal grudge against Seomjeondo.”
“You know. Please help though. If you help, the openness will support the dokgo family.”
“Support means….”
“I will help Dokgo Sega to join the Murim Alliance. Even if you live alone, isn’t it time to escape from the shackles of the past and run through the vast field of Kangho?”
“Father! No, my lord! This is your chance! This is a chance for the family to shine again!”
Sogaju Dokgo Cheongha, who had been listening silently, stepped forward. The neat beauty’s eyes shine with aspiration. The vassals around him also spoke to Dokgohan.
“My lord! Accept it!”
“If you miss this opportunity, it’s an opportunity you never know when it will come!”
“The time has come to let the world know that Dokgo Sega is alive and well!”
“If only I could belong to the Murim Meng, the Dokgo family would fly!”
Dokgohan was silent. Soonggae’s offer was a good offer that could not be refused. It’s such a good suggestion that I doubt it. But that doubt also disappears. It is because the motive of killing Yeomgu-seok is understandable.
‘In the case of opening, you will definitely want to kill Yeomgu-seok at this opportunity. If Yeom Gu-seok returns to the Heavenly Demonic Church, there will be no chance for the opening to kill Yeom Gu-seok.’
It is right to accept Soonggae’s proposalhehelps him to defeat Yeomguseok, a flash war. The known inaction of Seolguseok Yeomguseok was early in the coming period. If Dokgo Sega is sincere, it can be dealt with without difficulty.
‘Easy. It’s easy. But… Why are you so anxious?’
In my mind, it was an offer and I wanted to reject it. But there was no good reason. Do you turn down such a good opportunity just because you don’t feel good about it? There was no way the vassals could understand.
More than anything….
Dokgo Han looked at his daughter. Dokgo Cheongha’s eyes full of longing. Dokgo Han was aware of his daughter’s ambitions. At least she hoped the family wouldn’t hold her daughter back.
“… I will help Soonggae, who is going to die alone.”
“Thank you, Dokgo. I will never regret that choice. I promise in the name of openness.”
The atmosphere was relaxed. Soonggae laughs, and the retainers also laugh. Dokgo Cheongha is also smiling faintly. None of these people thought things would fail. It was the same with Dokgohan.
Dokgohan served expensive tea and recommended it to Soonggae.
“I would like to know the information about the Island of Yeomguseok.”
“I will tell you everything I know.”
“How did you track down Yeomguseok? As far as I know, the Red Army is all scattered and hiding.”
“They are hiding and attacking the latter members of the Murim Alliance. Seomjeondo killed the great disciple of the shaman faction, the lightsaber. He reported it to the Demonic Cult through the telecommunications office, and our opening eavesdropped on the report and was able to confirm the location of the islands. He was walking around calling himself the first sword of Joseon.”
“You mean you openly moved under a false identity?”
“Exactly. He’s a big liver guy. You know what’s more absurd? He wanders around the city as if on a tour and returns to the Heavenly Demonic Church. It’s standard to harass gisaengs in Giru, and they say they deliberately fight and cripple the warriors they don’t like.”
Dokgo Han frowned at him. Just hearing Yeomgu-seok’s actions made him feel wicked.
“He’s someone we shouldn’t keep alive, even for the sake of the future of the political faction.”
“You saw it right away. He’ll be the Great Horsehead in the not-too-distant future. Before that, he must kill him.”
“Do you have any plans?”
“There is no plan whatsoever. Seeing what he’s doing, he’ll definitely stop by this city. He’ll spend the day at the best Giru and leave. We just need to surround Giru and ambush him and kill him. He kills Madou, so no one will blame us. Rather, I will praise you.”
“I will prepare. The Dokgo family will be surrounded by the Dokgo percussion team. In addition, I, Sogaju, and the elders will all step forward to deal with Yeomguseok.”
“Thank you! It’s not enough, it’s too much powerhaha! I keep laughing at the thought of that evil bastard dying!”
Their atmosphere was very friendly.
•••
I came into Dokgo City.
The reason why this city is named Dokgosi is the influence of the Dokgo family. In the past, the city was built around the Dokgo family. However, the fame that rang the world is no longer there. Hundreds of years later, the position of the Dokgo family was ambiguous.
I thought as I headed for the largest and most spectacular Giru in town.
‘I heard that Sogaju of the Dokgo family is such a beauty. I miss you. It would be okay to see it before leaving the city.’
Sogaju Dokgo Chungha of Dokgo family. Because of his last name, Dok-go, it did not become a hot topic. Because of an incident that happened in the distant past, both Murim and ordinary people tried not to mention the name Dokgo.
‘Was the special number a fuel economy sword?’
It is nicknamed because it is fast, splendid, and free like a swallow flying in the sky.
‘I can’t attack Dokgo’s family, so I’ll just have to see what it looks like from afar.’
And later, when I can afford it, I will come to eat.
I walked down the street waving my long gun.
‘Ah, fuck.’
I was walking around pretending nothing was wrong, but I realized I was screwed.
Someone is watching me It’s not even one person. There are more than 6 people who can feel the presence through their senses right away.
‘If you’re spying on me, there’s only one reason. That’s when I realized that I’m a bit of a nerd. Fuck.’
Since this city is the territory of the Dokgo family, it is highly likely that the Dokgo family will be uninhabited.
‘How will we do it. Escape with the space travel spell? Or fight?’
If you use the space movement scroll, you can get out of here right away.
‘Seeing that they don’t attack right away, it seems like they’re checking the liver… Can I run away after enjoying Giru here?’
The guys watching me don’t feel that strong. It seemed like it could easily kill six people at the same time.
‘You have to do it. If it’s necessary, I can jump out with the space movement scroll.’
I couldn’t give up Giru.
‘By the way… Why are beggars getting stepped on in the eyes like this today? It all seems to be flirting with me.’
I’d like to kill them all, but this wasn’t my area. If you run amok, you will be tracked down.
‘Let’s go to Giruna.’
Oolu (五兀樓).
Even though it was broad daylight, Oolu was shining brightly. I entered Giru with high expectations.
“Jumsoy! Guide them to the highest floor! Bring the prettiest courtesans in this Giru! If you bring the ugly bitch, I won’t stand still!”
“Yes, yep! Let me guide you!”
Jeomsoi replied.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at Jeom Soi’s back.
‘When a stranger arrives, he asks for money first… Are you guiding me meekly like this?’
In my experience, it was normal to play once in Giru for the first time. When he pulled out his sword and showed the sword, the jeomsois crawled on their own.
‘And this bastard. Your behavior is awkward. I can’t smoke badly.’
And I can feel the eyes on me from all over the first floor.
At this point, I had no idea what the situation was.
Now I was in a trap.
