Chapter 601 – 601. Map of Ascension to Gwangmyeong
601. Gwangmyeong Ascension Map
The performance of the finest potion was certain.
Seong Ji-gon’s stomach, which suffered a sword wound, began to heal within 10 seconds. Seongji Gon was startled and tried to raise his body, but then sat down on the floor again. He was exhausted from the battle, so he needs some rest.
“Jin. What is that drug? A fatal wound recovers in an instant….”
“Think of it as one of the elixirs.”
“For you to use such a precious elixir for me….”
Sung Ji-gon’s eyes that looked at me showed respect and gratitude. He wasn’t bad Sung Ji-gon should thank me so that he will listen to me better in the future.
“There are still a few more hours until the sun rises…. Shall we continue to do what we are doing?”
I turned to the side and walked toward the women. The women who saw me trembled. They seem to think I might kill them all.
“Take everything off. If you can’t satisfy me until dawn…. I will kill all of you like the bandits scattered over there.”
“…… !!”
Women who did not want to die actively began to take off their clothes. Soon after, Sung Ji-gon also joined. Unlike me, he started having sex with only older women.
We came out of the living room when the sun started to rise in the morning.
“But can I leave the women alone? Shouldn’t I kill you?”
Sung Ji-gon asked me.
“Why. Do you want to kill me?”
“It’s not like that, you have to shut the women’s mouths. They’d be bragging about us….”
“You used bast noodles. Even rumors can’t identify us. And killing women is a waste. If we meet later, we’ll have to eat again.”
“Did you even think about eating it again later?”
“I don’t know what the future will hold. I mean.”
We took off our bast face masks and clothes away from the living quarters. The stuffiness I felt while using the bast face mask disappears.
“I was satisfied. Jin?”
“Ah. Sure. Gon.”
We returned to the convoy’s camp.
Unlike usual, the passengers woke up early and were preparing to escape. Seok Ji-don gave an order to the ticket customers with a nervous look.
“The bandit Oh Yeong-chae, who has been harassing us until now, can’t stand still. Get out of here ASAP!”
After recovering their stamina, the passengers moved busier than ever.

After twists and turns, we arrived at our destination, Payang City.
Of course, I didn’t stay in this city for long. The purpose of the demonstration transportation group was not to sell or transport animal skins, but to learn the way to Payang City. It seems that the goal has already been achieved to some extent.
“I will be back in two days. Get a good rest today and tomorrow. I don’t care how you spend your time, as long as you don’t get into trouble.”
Seok Ji-don said. After ordering the messengers to sell animal skins to the merchant, he went into the inn with a tired face. Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like I was going to sleep or sigh.
“Yujin. What are you going to do now?”
“Well. Shall we go around in moderation? To be active tonight, we need to know where Beauty is.”
Sung Ji-gon nodded.
Payang City is a city similar in size to Hudan City, where the Meteor Checkpoint is located. However, there was no such a big munpa as the meteor checkpoint. There were several small clans, but even if they were combined, they were not as good as Meteor Checkpoints.
“That’s interesting. I heard that there is usually at least one clan like ours in a city like this.”
“Until 150 years ago, there was a munpa comparable to Meteor Checkpoint here.”
“Really? What kind of munpa is it?”
“Na Gwangmun (拿光門). Unlike our sect, it is a sect of sorcerers who specialize in magic training.”
“But why not now? Did you fight a war with another faction and lose?”
“It is better than that. Na Gwang-moon went extinct due to the issue of the successor.”
“Five. That’s too bad.”
Seong Ji-gon calmly passed on.
In this world, it was natural for a clan to perish and a new clan to emerge. Even when I was at the Meteor Checkpoint, I could hear rumors that a certain clan had perished nearby. In the case of Na Gwang-mun, I didn’t know it because it was destroyed 150 years ago.
“It’s a city of the same size, but…. It’s a little different from Hudansi. There seem to be a lot of strange things around.”
Sung Ji-gon pointed at the alley wall. It is a wall that looks blue when viewed from the right and black when viewed from the left.
“It’s Na Gwang-moon’s influence. There are quite a few remnants of Na Gwang-mun all over this city.”
“Are these all under the influence of magic? Does it make sense that it will be maintained after 150 years?”
“There are some techniques that can be maintained for over 10,000 years if conditions such as the type of technique, the skill of the magician, and the management of the technique are met.”
“Wow…. Aren’t martial arts better than martial arts?”
“It is not. Martial arts or sorcery. Each has its pros and cons.”
The two of us were walking down the street and stopped at the same time.
We arrived at the largest giru in the city. It was open during the day, and I could see the beauties through the window. Gisaengs who seduce men by deliberately exposing their shoulder lines or breastbones.
However, Seong Ji-gon and I turned around.
“Let’s go to Giru at dawn tomorrow.”
“Uh. Eugene. Wouldn’t it be nice to buy a courtesan and eat it?”
“The level of excitement is different. But are you okay? When I looked at the gisaengs earlier, it didn’t seem like there was a girl like you.”
“I was on the top floor. She looked like she was in her 50s, but she was pretty because she was a gisaeng.”
I shrugged.
That day, we wore bast masks, raided private houses, and ate women, and at dawn we went into Giru and ate women.
•••
A man entered an old, shabby house on the outskirts of Payang City. He was a man with a dull face that didn’t go well with a shabby house, wearing a luxurious military uniform and carrying a sword around his waist. The man opened the door without hesitation and went inside.
“Who, who are you?”
A woman said with her terrified face on her face. An old woman sat blankly behind him. It didn’t look very good.
Wee Jo-hee.
The wife of Oh Son-mo, the head of Oh Young-chae.
She said, “I heard Oh Young-chae is gone.”
“I-we have nothing to do with Oh Young-chae!”
“Wei Jo-hee, the wife of Oh Son-mo, who died. I came here knowing everything, so don’t lie. Promise If you answer the questions meekly, nothing will happen.”
“…….”
Wei Johui broke into a cold sweat and nodded. The man’s words mean, in other words, something will happen if you don’t answer.
“Who were the people who killed Oh Son-mo and killed Oh Young-chae?”
“Two, two men.”
“I know that. I already met another woman who was at Oh Yeong-chae before I came here. I know that they have violated you. What I want to know is a clue about their identity.”
“… There was nothing special about the body. One person… Except it was too big.”
“I heard that you were repeatedly violated by a man of great importance. Are there any other characteristics you remember?”
Wi Jo-hee shuddered. The man in front of me was both afraid and humiliated. And he laments most that he has no means of avenging the disgrace.
“…… His face looked normal, but it was a little awkward. Sometimes, whenever I smiled, my whole face distorted.”
“It’s a characteristic of using cheap bast noodles. A lack of conclusive clues. Is there anything else?”
“Their names are Jin and Gon….”
“They are the ones wearing bast masks. It must be a pseudonym, not a real name.”
“That is….”
Wi Jo-hee was speechless. At that time, I was out of my mind because I was humiliated. Nothing really came to mind.
At that time, the mother of Oh Son-mo, an old woman who was sitting blankly behind her, opened her mouth.
“Eugene!”
The old woman’s voice boomed. It contained anger and hatred.
“I heard the guy who raped me call me Eugene when he dies!”
“Eugene…. Is it your real name? Good info. Anything else?”
“They had a strange drug! Even though the guy who raped me had a split stomach, I sprayed him with pink medicine and he recovered in an instant!”
“I already heard that. If that’s true, it’s a great elixir. I don’t think I can hear anything from you anymore.”
Wi Jo-hee was nervous. They thought that the man might harm them in the name of murder. However, as promised, the man turned around and disappeared.
From the man’s point of view, there was no need to kill Wi Jo-hee and the old woman from the beginning.
Wi Jo-hee broke into a cold sweat and sighed. I roughly guessed the man’s identity, but I will never say anything out of my mouth.
•••
It was when I woke up in the afternoon and had a belated lunch with Seong Ji-gon in an inn. A man came up to our table. He was a dull-looking man.
“You’ll see Seong Yu-jin and Sung Ji-gon from Yuseong Checkpoint here.”
Know our names
It was strange.
Seong Ji-gon and I were the sons of the Meteor Checkpoint Master, but we had no reputation at all. This trial transport was our first activity, and it was not particularly active.
It is one thing that they came to know us. That he came after doing our background investigation.
Glancing at Seong Ji-gon, I could see that he was nervous. Because we were raping women just yesterday.
“Who are you?”
I asked.
“This is Shin Gong-se, the second of Ahyeonsinga. Do you know about the Ahyeonsinga?”
“Aren’t they the most famous Se in Ahyeon City? I don’t know the details, but I’ve heard of the fame of Ahyeonsinga.”
Haha. I’m glad you know. Thanks to that, the story might be easier.”
He sat down next to Seong Ji-gon before we allowed him to. And he took out an amulet from his bosom. Mysterious energy flowed from the amulet and wrapped around us.
As I narrowed my eyes, he hurriedly said,
“I have no intention of harming you. This is soundproofing. Creates an invisible barrier nearby to prevent sound from coming out. It is a talisman that is always used when talking about important things.”
“What is an important story? We are not the directors of Meteor Inspection. If it’s related to the munpa, go directly to the text and talk about it, not us.”
“I am interested in you, not the former sect.”
“…… Start with the main point.”
Shin Gong-sae laughed.
“I know what you did to Oh Young-chae.”
“…… !!”
What surprised me was Sung Ji-gon. Seong Ji-gon’s two pupils, who are inexperienced in this matter, are shaken. On the other hand, I kept my cool.
‘How did know? In Oh Yeong-chae, all the men were killed…. Did you interrogate the women? Even when interrogated, we wore bast masks and used pseudonyms. Did you read the traces of the meteor inspection? Even so, the only thing that can identify us is…. Ah!’
I remembered that Seong Ji-gon called me by my real name when he died. What if a woman with a good ear in Oh Young-chae heard my name and told Shin Gong-se? I could understand the situation now.
“Therefore. What are you going to do? Are you going to spread rumors?”
I went out in the open. If he had intended to spread rumors, he would not have come to us like this. He has something he wants from us.
“I have no intention of becoming enemies with you. Rather, I would like to ask for your cooperation.”
“Cooperation?”
“To what extent does the Small Cooperative trust the direct price tag country? Isn’t it suspicious that direct ticketing countries suddenly started to step forward?”
“I know that the direct ticketing country is trying to use the meteor inspection. I can only think that there is a purpose for the fact that the Jik-ga-pyo-guk, which is a bigger force than the meteor checkpoint, suddenly reached out.”
“You are amazing. Usually I don’t think so. It’s easy to rejoice without doubting the luck you’ve been given. The future of meteor inspection seems bright.”
Shin Gong-se praised him as if he was genuinely surprised. However, this is not what I thought and concluded on my own. I only knew the purpose of the direct mark country through the original work. Of course, I also know the purpose of Ahyeonsinga.
“Cooperation is what you want from us.”
“I want your brute force and mystical medicine.”
“A mysterious drug?”
“I heard that it is a pink drug. Healed the fatal wound in an instant, right? To be honest, I’m very coveted. To the point where I want to take it away right away.”
I’m talking about the potion.
“You mean the potion.”
“Surely, it is an unusual name for a mysterious medicine. Yes. That potion wants a medicine. Of course you won’t get it for free. If there is anything you want, please tell me.”
“I don’t have many.”
“If there were many such mysterious drugs, I would have been rather suspicious. Exactly how many do you have?”
“There were originally three potions, but now there are only two. It’s what I got through Giyeon in the past.”
“Give both of them to Ahyeonsinga. I will not be sorry for the price.”
