Chapter 597 – 597. Map of Ascension to Gwangmyeong
597. Gwangmyeong Ascension Map
The mood of the voters, including Seok Ji-don, the leader, has changed.
Seok Ji-don, who only held a lot of weight, treated the farmers kindly. I had more time to rest, and I took care of the convenience of the winners. On the other hand, he ordered all sorts of chores to the guards.
Pyojis who were worse than the number of people.
Seok Ji-don openly harassed the officers.
However, the officers obeyed the order without expressing their displeasure. All three markers wrote the name of Seok Ji-don. After rebelling against Seok Ji-don here, he could be cornered as one who wrote Seok Ji-don’s name.
‘The moment that happens, the mark work is over. Seok Ji-don, that bastard is also a martial artist. It won’t end with just undressing.’
The relationship between the three pilots was not good. They are the ones who betrayed their boss Seok Ji-don. I couldn’t think of him affectionately just because he was a colleague. I would rather think of it as a competitor.
Pyosa also began to treat Jangjasu well. I didn’t give orders unless it was absolutely necessary, and I didn’t nag. Occasionally, when he stopped by an inn on the road, he served a bottle of alcohol to each of the merchants.
Of course it wasn’t free.
The protesters had to listen to the excuses and laments of the patriots. And the voices they slander their own colleagues.
“You guys don’t know. How despicable was Hwang Bei-gun. I’ve worked with him for almost 5 years and I’ve never been treated well. And this is what I heard… It is said that Hwang Bei-gun was from a city government job. Why is that A group of people who threaten good people with force and extort money. Don’t get close to Hwang Bei-gun. He said that the habit of being three years old will last until eighty…. He might be after your fortune.”
“It looks like the Youngtan Pyosa was talking nonsense and passed by. There was a time in the past where a big deal happened because Pyo Yeongtan lied. Although Pyo Guk-ju showed his mercy and did not cast him out… , It’s not good to be close to it, it’s a bad sleep. A lot of the words coming out of his mouth are lies, so you don’t have to listen.”
The officials were fiercely politicizing. Being nice to Jang Ja-su was also a kind of request to be on his side.
I giggled in my heart and watched their struggles.
“Yujin. Why are the signs all of a sudden doing that?”
The innocent holy land, Gon tilted his head and asked me. I dragged him to a corner and explained the situation.
“…… Uh, the one who killed Godumak was you wearing a bast mask. But I don’t even have a vendetta against you… ?”
“Because I am stronger than them. There are not many weak people who get hurt by the strong and get revenge. I know full well that revenge is unlikely to succeed.”
“Is Seok Pyo-du looking for the one with his name on it? You want revenge?”
“Right. He must take revenge on those weaker than himself.”
“But the ones who wrote Seok Pyo-du’s name were all the Pyos….”
“The officials don’t know that. You’d think someone betrayed you. But that’s not what’s important now. In order to survive, he was in a situation where he couldn’t be found out that he wrote Seokpyo-du’s name.”
“Can’t we just be honest and ask for forgiveness?”
“Don’t be stupid. The one who tried to kill his own life. Would you forgive me?”
“…… I won’t.”
Haha. We just have to watch them while eating rice cakes. You won’t be bored until you go back. Well, one of them might die without ever returning.”
“I am a bit disappointed. Aren’t they colleagues you’ve been working with for years?”
“Jigong. Kang-ho is colder than you think. He’s not easily trusted just because he’s a colleague. Even among family members, sticking knives in each other’s back is a strong force. There aren’t many good friendships like you and me.”
“Um….”
Haha. And if there’s a bit of alienation between the leaders here, sword fighting will happen. Shall we try it?”
“Isn’t epilepsy dangerous?”
“You can do it carefully. Otherwise….”
I smiled and explained the plan. Seong Ji-gon looked at me in amazement and shook his head.
“Yujin. You are really scary.”
“Anyone can think of something, but what?”
It was night.
The transport team camped out and went to bed as soon as it got dark. Night outside the city is the time for youkai, so unless it’s very urgent, they don’t move as much as possible.
I sneaked out of the barracks at night. After using the illusionist to make his appearance transparent and killing as many signs as possible, he went into the barracks of the warriors and left a note.
‘Maybe it’s because they’re not getting along, so they don’t even sleep together.’
The content of the note is that another mark reported to Seok Ji-don that you were the culprit. Typical heterogeneity. However, the envoys will not be able to ignore this content. Because they wrote the name of the real Seok Ji-don.
‘Tomorrow’s going to be even more chilly.’
•••
The atmosphere among the officials reached its peak. Even if they only meet each other’s eyes, they frown and shed their lives. The atmosphere was not good enough that the unrelated contestants were also very nervous and kept their mouths shut.
The leader, Seok Ji-don, had no intention of adjusting the relationship between the officials.
The transport group moved forward with a bloody atmosphere.
“The scenery is nice. I will rest here.”
The transport stopped briefly on top of a cliff.
I took a quick look around.
‘This is where the original came out! It’s here!’
I took Sung Ji-gon and approached the biggest tree nearby.
“Yujin. Why are you here?”
“Because there is a chance here.”
“What?! Really?!”
Surprised, Seong Ji-gon looks around. But all you can see are cliffs and vegetation.
“Are you kidding me? This prank is no fun. I’m still having a hard time these days.”
“What are you taking seriously? I know it’s hard because you can’t hug a girl anyway. And, in most cases, it is hidden. Like this.”
I took out my dagger and drove it into the trunk of the tree. It felt empty inside. When part of the tree trunk was ripped open, three blooming flowers were revealed inside.
“Flowers grow inside trees, don’t they?!”
“Mokchimhwa (木侵花). Even if it looks like that, it is an elixir that contains the energy of fire.”
It is an elixir that blooms from the inside of a tree and sucks the tree’s vitality and aura.
“I only need one. Eat two of them.”
“Eh, can I eat this?! You’re the one who found this!”
“We are brothers. And you are weaker than me. I’m in trouble if you’re too weak I have no intention of following you all my life. Eat two and get strong.”
“Eugene… !”
Seong Ji-gon made a moved expression.
In this world, the elixir is a treasure among treasures. It is easy for a village to be wiped out because of the elixir, and the elixir is not well given even to children who share blood.
“If you have these things, it can be a hassle, so you have to take them right away. Eat here.”
“Here? But will the break be over soon?”
“Well. You should probably be here for two hours?”
“What are you talking about?”
I pointed to the sky.
A huge bird with blue feathers was flying in the sky.
Blue light bird.
It is a spiritual creature that can be dealt with only when it reaches at least the level of the Three Kings.
“It’s floating in the sky, so you can’t move it carelessly. Because Seok Ji-don is already very cautious.”
“Blue Gwangjo! Isn’t that monster attacking us?!”
“For what? From the perspective of Cheong Gwang-jo, we are at the level of rolling stones. If it doesn’t bother you, it’ll pass by. Hurry up and eat a loaf of bread and digest it.”
I sat cross-legged on the floor.
Originally, like the main character in the original work, he would take it after strengthening his neck acupuncture using Gwangmyeong Ascension. But now, the Sword of Ascension is strengthening my weapon and armor, Stormbreaker. You can’t just wait as you don’t know when the reinforcement will end.
‘I’m stronger than the original protagonist. And I can get the elixir later.’
He grabbed the loofah and stuffed it into his mouth. It tastes bitter. Looking to the side, Seong Ji-gon is nervous and taking a lozenge.
‘And I have the Cheon Jiang Seong system.’
Use Yeongcheon Qigong to control the fire of wooden acupuncture needles. The efficiency of Yeongcheon Machine Tool was better than in reality.
It may be because this world is specialized in martial arts. If that’s not the case, it’s the influence of the Cheon-Kang-Sung system. Personally, I think it’s the latter effect.
After absorbing the energy of the wooden chimney for a while, I felt the invisible wall crumbling.
“Congratulations! I have risen to the stage of 1st Dan!』
『As a reward, you will be given 30 Heaven Jade and Jiseongdan.』
I exhaled. The body is full of vitality.
‘Now I have 31 heavenly jade. I need 69 more to get to VIP 1.’
『Jiseongdan(智城丹)
An elixir that helps when reaching the state of emergence.』
It was an elixir that was of no help to me, who had already reached the state of procreation.
‘I can pass this on to Seong Ji-gon later.’
Got up from the seat Seongji Gon is still sitting in his lotus position and eagerly absorbing the energy of the elixir.
‘Sung Ji-gon. It would be easier if this guy became usable soon.’
Seong Ji-gon got up from his seat just before leaving. His face was full of joy.
“What do you think? Has the level risen?”
“Yes! Now it’s up to the 8th level! It’s all thanks to you! Are you Eugene?”
“I’m on my way to the exit.”
“Ugh! Really?! Congratulation! And! At that age, you are already at the state of prominence! If other people find out, they will be stunned!”
“I will hide it for the time being. You are also good at keeping your mouth shut.”
“Why? If you inform the munpa, you will be able to receive better support.”
“Because there are people who are suspicious and jealous of you if you are too good.”
“But…. Okay. I won’t tell anyone what you want.”
The transport team set off again.
•••
One of the envoys,
Hwang Bei-gun did the work.
During the break, in front of everyone, he accused Seok Ji-don of the Yeongtan Pyosa.
“Pyo-chief Seok! At that time, it was Yeongtan who wrote the name of Pyo-du Seok! Youngtan instigated us to write the name of Pyo Seok!”
“Everything Pyossa Hwang said is correct!”
Jang O-guk, the official, defended Hwang Bi-geon’s words.
I noticed right away. Those two are woven together.
“Oh, these crazy things! Mr. Seok! They’re giving a damn! They’re arguing with each other and driving me! I have never written the name of Pyo Seok before! I can swear by my single word!”
Seokjidon clenched his fists. He couldn’t believe all the signs.
“There are definitely some of you who are lying to me. Maybe they are all lying.”
Thud!
Hwang Bi-gun and Jang Oh-guk knelt on the floor.
“Pyo-chief Seok! Everything we say is true! There are even witnesses!”
“Witness?”
“Then when I write my name on a piece of paper…. One of the scribes in the back saw Youngtan write down the name of Pyo Seok!”
“This is bullshit! All bullshit! Chief Seok!”
“Noisy. Youngtan. I warn you, you’d better keep your mouth shut until I give you permission. The witnesses Hwang Bei-Geon is talking about should come forward.”
“I-me!”
One of the attendants stepped forward nervously. He said, getting down on his knees.
“Pyosa Yeongtan wrote Pyo Seok’s name on a piece of paper! I-I saw it clearly!”
Perjury.
It is certain that Hwang Bei-geon conciliated with Jang-ja-su. They must have given a lot of money or guaranteed a future.
Seok Ji-don’s eyes turned to Yeong-tan.
“Youngtan. Witness came out. Anything to say?”
Youngtan knelt down in front of Seokjidon and bowed his head.
“All, all lies! Those crazy things are deceiving Chief Seok!”
“Then who is the real culprit?”
“It’s Hwang Bei-gun! Hwang Bi-gun wrote down the name of Seok Pyo-nim!”
“Evidence?”
“We have witnesses! One of the merchants saw it!”
“Her…. Your words contradict each other. If all of you had written my name, then I would have died, not the hut. Under…. Who is the witness? Come forward.”
However, none of the contestants moved forward.
Youngtan’s face turned pale. It seems that Yeongtan also captured Jang Ja-su, but he betrayed Yeong-tan after reading the atmosphere of Jang Ja-su.
“Old age! What are you doing! Why don’t you come out! Mr. Seok! The author, the author is the witness!”
“Oh no! I know nothing!”
“This bastard!!”
Youngtan burst into a roar. Lives spurt out incessantly.
Seok Ji-don’s eyes darkened coldly.
“Looks like a conclusion has been reached. Hwang Bei-gun, Jang Oh-guk. Catch him.”
“Yes!”
Youngtan struggled with his sword, but he couldn’t handle the two attacking at the same time.
“Pyo-chief Seok! Not me! This is a mothership! Chief Seok!”
“You’ve done business with lies before. I can’t believe your words now. Reaping you as a mark is the biggest stain in my life. Now I will remove the stain with my own hands.”
“Aaaaagh! Seokjidon!!”
Youngtan’s head fell to the floor.
The perpetrator is dead
This work is officially over here.
However, the relationship between Seok Ji-don and the officials was still cold. Since Seok Ji-don has a brain, he will think that Young-tan may not be the culprit.
Haha. Poor Seok Ji-don. If it were me, I would have killed them all right away. Then there must be a culprit among them.’
Their relationship is already over, so there will be no going back.
