Chapter 1807 – 1807. Map of the Ascension of Gwangmyeong
“Even if it looks like this, I’m proud to say that I’ve eaten a lot of delicacies, but Sutake? The dish called is the first time in my life to try a different dish. The flavor was too great to simply dismiss it as grilled meat. The wine called wine was also very good!”
After finishing the meal, Baekran exclaimed as if excited.
“It is a gross exaggeration. I heard that all the delicacies in the world gather in the imperial family.”
“That is true. In the imperial family, all kinds of precious food are presented every day. All for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor. How can I, a mere prosecutor, eat those precious foods?”
“He said he’s eaten quite a few delicacies.”
“I secretly ate it. Relationships are important in the imperial family.”
Baekran said with a smile. Are you bragging that you have many personal connections in the imperial family? Since she has outstanding beauty and skills, it would have been easy to make friends with her.
Anyway, after eating, we started walking again. Soon the sun went down and it was evening, and they prepared to sleep under a moderately large tree. Dinner was also venison. It was because the deer meat caught during the day was left over. This time, it fell without even touching it.
Settled appropriately where the stream flows. Look around to make sure no one is there.
‘Tonight’s dinner is chicken.’
I haven’t eaten chicken lately. [Dark Moon] It’s because I ate until I got tired of developing the world’s chicken. At that time, she vowed that she would never eat chicken again, but as time passed, she craved chicken just like now.
As soon as I opened the chicken package, the savory smell spread even though it was oily. The sweet smell of the seasoning whetted the appetite without mercy. It was the moment I reached out for half and half chicken. I felt a tired gaze from behind.
It was a white egg. She was staring this way.
‘It wasn’t there before.’
Didn’t care But she didn’t feel the presence of her approaching me at all. When she realized, she was there.
‘You are so good at hiding that you can fool my senses. Or was it teleportation?’
She was not a woman to be taken lightly either way.
“Hmm. Shall we eat together?”
“I will not decline.”
She approached with brisk steps. Again, no footprints were left.
Eventually, she and I sat side by side and ate her chicken.
Crispy!
Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. After taking a bite of her chicken, Baekran was startled and looked at me and her chicken with her round eyes.
“This chicken… ? It’s completely different from the chicken I used to know! This too is a delicacy!”
Admiring her elongation, she quickly gnaws at the chicken and eats it. It was quite strange to see the chicken constantly going into that small mouth.
I handed her a Coke from her glass. Transparent ice floated around.
Baekran, who received her coke, tilted her head.
“It is an expensive cup. But what is this black water?”
“Ah. This is cola Chicken’s friend.”
“It’s a bit reluctant, but… I will trust you and try it.”
Taking a sip of her Coke, she opened her eyes. Her other hand stroked her neck as if her throat was sore.
“Isn’t it great?”
“… Delicious! I was just taken aback because the taste was so unfamiliar. A drink that hits your throat…. I didn’t know a drink like this existed in the world!”
Baek-ran was ecstatic and she ate coke and chicken. At her feet lay only her chicken bones. Her kicking skills were so good that she wondered if it was her first time eating chicken.
“You are really amazing. How did you discover these foods?”
“I didn’t find it. Got it.”
“If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine. You can’t pry on skewers from the standpoint of getting it.”
She washed her hands and mouth in the stream that ran through her. And then she sorts out her clothes. Returning to her neat appearance, Baekran suddenly asked me with a serious expression.
“What are your ambitions?”
“Ambition?”
“There is no way a man like you would not be ambitious. Is it your ambition to become an elder of the Heavenly Demonic Church?”
To be content with just being an elder? To say that, the position of elder in the Heavenly Demon Church was not a low position. If you compare it to a fantasy world, it can be said that it is a position above the level of a great aristocrat. And the highest position that Yeom Guseok, who was born with an ordinary age, can rise to is the position of elder.
“Right. It would be nice if I could become an elder.”
“… Do you want more space? You are greedy.”
“I never said a word like that.”
“I know by looking into your eyes. You’re just not good enough to be an elder. More than that. Vice-principal…. Are you aiming for the position of the Heavenly Demon?”
“…….”
Shut her mouth Cheonma Shinkyo is not a single sect. Close to the kingdom And the heavenly horse is the king. Talking wildly about the Heavenly Demon was tantamount to treason. As long as Baekran’s purpose was unknown, it was better to hold back his words.
“The position of the Heavenly Demon is not a position that can be climbed alone. If you’re really aiming for the position of the Heavenly Demon… I will make a reliable colleague. Even a Heavenly Demon has limits to what she can do alone.”
Heavenly horse
What I remembered was not the Heavenly Demon of this world, but the Heavenly Demon of the [God’s Atlantis] World.
King of heaven. He is the one who can be said to be the source of all demons. If it were me, what would he do? Shall we make friends and rise to the position of the Heavenly Demon? Will he admit that?
‘It’s bullshit. The Heavenly Demon must be supreme only as the Heavenly Demon.’
I don’t need any companions.
“The heavenly horse must reign over ten thousand horses.”
“That is a derogatory word. But above all, it is a thousand words.”
As always, Baekran smiled lightly and walked away.

We arrived at our destination, Baeyoung City. It was a fairly large city. At the same time, it was also a city that looked peaceful.
‘There is a demonic family in Baeyeong City.’
The six families that started Cheonma Shinkyo together. One of them, Yunga, is the ruler of Baeyeongsi.
‘Even if Mark is small compared to the past, he is still Mark.’
It was impossible to ignore the potential they had built up over a long period of time.
‘There’s nothing good about provoking Mark, so I’ll have to move quietly.’
I looked around. If there are great merchants called Yuun Sanghoe, they will definitely stand out. But I don’t see anything special.
Hong Kang-hu cleared his throat at the sight of me looking around with my head extended.
“Hmm. Didn’t I tell you before Yuun Sanghoe does not do business with ordinary people. Of course, I don’t do business openly. Come follow me.”
I walked along Hong Kang-hu. He moved outside the city, not inside.
“Youun Store sells rare items. Elixir, magic, martial arts…. They are all things that can be called treasures. And treasure attracts flies.”
This was the reason why Yuun Sanghoe could not openly move. It was also the reason why they kept moving without settling in one place.
A rippling river emerged outside the city. The river wasn’t very big. Hong Kang-hu walked to the stepping stones made of rocks. In front of the stepping stones were guarded by two soldiers. The two warriors had different outfits and even the weapons they were equipped with were swords and spears. The hired ronin was certain.
“Stop. This is a controlled area. Even if you say seniors, you can’t enter.”
They were nervous watching Kang-hu Hong.
“Seriously. We’re not here to fight you. Not even a robber. We are guests.”
“You came to the market. Excuse me, but to enter the market….”
“I know. You need money to be treated like a guest. Money is enough. I saved it for today.”
Hong Kang-hu pulled her pocket from her bosom. The pockets weren’t that big. He opened the pouch and showed the contents. It contained beads, not hermits or goldsmiths. It is a celestial jade, a bead containing spiritual energy.
After checking the money, the ronin stepped aside.
“Welcome, guest.”
We slowly crossed the stepping stones. As soon as I crossed the last rock, the scenery in front of me changed. Tents were lined up where there should have been a forest. Soldiers with swords and rich people adorned with luxurious jewels roamed the shabby tents.
Baekran, who was wearing a hat like me, admired a little.
“The barrier itself isn’t that strong, but it’s a good barrier for blindfolding.”
I was admiring something else.
Hong Kang-hu looked at us.
Haha. We’ve reached our destination, so let’s part. Ah, the currency used here is heavenly jade. Currency that is not heavenly jade is meaningless. If money is urgent, you can sell your belongings or martial arts. Just by looking at it, your knowledge will increase, so there will be no loss.”
His son Hong Je-yu looked at Baekran with serious eyes.
“Baekran-nim. If you don’t mind, I’ll guide you. There is a merchant I know at the Yuun store….”
“Hong Xiaohyup, thank you for the suggestion, but I will move separately. “
White’s voice was firm. Hong Je-yu, who was weak because he was full of energy, took a backward step without knowing it and agreed.
“Then I will go. If it becomes a kite, we will be able to meet again.”
Baekran disappeared among the crowd, and Hong and his son disappeared somewhere. Left alone, I decided to slowly look around the market.
“I sell the elixir! Precious elixirs are waiting for you! Buy elixir! Never cheat, buy full price!”
“Masters! There are good tricks! With this magic skill, you can become stronger!”
“There is blood pressure! It is the martial art of the Blood Rang that killed the non-partisan elder!!”
Merchants continue to shout and solicit. I ignored their voices and scanned the elixir vendor’s stall.
Most of them were easily obtainable elixirs.
‘Five. How many good ones are there?’
Among them, there are a few elixirs that are not easily obtainable. The price is at least 15 thousand jade.
‘I’m not sure if this is the right price.’
There are very few markets like this, so it was difficult to compare.
Currently, I have 606 Heavenly Jade. I was collecting to raise the VIP level.
“Guest. It seems that you are interested in Paebyeolcho (覇鼈草). You have very good eyesight. This paebyeolcho is a young plant that grows in a place where the sun does not set, receiving plenty of energy. It is the best elixir for those who train brain energy or fire energy like our guests.”
The merchant smiled and said. I looked at the merchant with sunken eyes.
“How did know?”
