Chapter 974 – 974. Map of Ascension
I didn’t just go out of town.
This world is wide. Even if the city with the Manmu Tower is nearby, it is only nearby by this world standard.
The moment you took the wrong road even a little, there was a high possibility that you would not arrive within the set period. And Seong Ji-gon and I don’t know the way. I didn’t have much experience with travel itself.
That’s not to say there isn’t a way. If you don’t know the way, you can hire a guide who knows the way. Or, ask the flag country to move together.
‘The problem is that it’s very difficult to find a personal guide, and among the nearby landmarks, the trip to Manmusi has already left a week ago.’
In a word, late.
But it wasn’t that there was no way. Seong Ji-gon and I found a way.
Cheolohdan (鐵烏團).
We hid our skills and joined the Nangindan led by Biu Dando (飛牛斷刀) Jin Guan.
Ronin.
It refers to the third-class warriors who roam this world. Some people package them up nicely as a group chasing the romance of Gangho, but in reality, they are more like mercenaries who have not settled down.
Cheol-oh-dan was on his way to the Manmu Tower in search of an opportunity. Seong Ji-gon and I jump on this iron rope and head for Manmu Tower. That’s our plan
“Set!”
Jin Goo-eon, the leader of Cheol-O-dan, shouted.
The ronins belonging to Cheol-O-Dan hurriedly moved and stood in front of him. Seong Ji-gon and I were also included.
Jin Guan was a man in his 40s. He had a bad impression. His skin is bronzed, he has a long scar across his forehead, and his left ear is missing. How rough is your voice Perennial phlegm seems to boil in his throat. On his back, a large yam sword glistened in the sunlight.
“From now on, we are heading to Manmu Tower. If there is someone who is leaving for personal reasons, leave now.”
Jin Guan opened his eyes. The ronin in front of him swallowed dry saliva. Jin Guan’s level is the 3rd level of exit. Among the ronin, it is a skill that belongs to the top.
“… I guess no one wants to fall for it.”
The ronin quietly focused on Jin Guan’s words.
“The 10,000 Towers are the last chance for us without fundamentals to rise to the top. I don’t even want to conquer the ten thousand towers. Our goal is half, the 10th floor of the Manmu Tower. Even if you only reach the 10th floor, you can learn ascending martial arts. Also, this can be a career and you can enter a decent munpa. I risked my life for this ten thousand Tower. So let me tell you one last time. If you don’t intend to risk your life on the Tower of Manmu like me, get out of here immediately without holding on to me!”
Jin Guan’s eyes are burning.
There is an age limit for Manmu Tower. He is 50 years old. And the Manmu Tower is held every 10 years. For Jin Guan, who is in his 40s, this Tower of Manmu is his last chance.
“We feel the same way as the captain! As a ronin, I have no intention of living only being ridiculed! This ten thousand Tower will change your life!”
“You’re right!”
“You can change your life, but of course you should risk it!”
The ronins belonging to the Cheol-O-dan made a noise as one. I can feel the determination in their voices. And Jin Guan let out a satisfied laugh.
Haha! Good night! Let’s change our lives at Manmu Tower! Let’s start with Manmu Tower! Eat with determination! My ankle… , I will abandon those who hold back Cheol-O-Dan’s ankles!”
“Yes! Captain!”
Jin Guan, who raised the morale of the ronin, took the lead in leaving the city.
Cheol-oh-dan walked the road scattering sharp momentum everywhere. However, as time passed, the sharp momentum waned.
Seong Ji-gon and I carried heavy loads on our backs and walked at the very back of the iron bridge.
“Hey, newcomers. You’ve come all the way here, and you’re doing quite well without getting tired?”
A man in his early thirties talked to us. He kicked the sword at his waist.
“Even though we look like this, we trained steadily.”
Sung Ji-gon answered.
“Well, looking at their bodies, I could tell that they were trained. Since you have buds, the captain must have accepted you. I am Woo Young-tae. It has been two years since I entered Cheol-O-Dan.”
“Okay? I am Sung Ji-gon!”
“This is Seong Eugene.”
Revealed his name right away. There was no need to hide it, since no great force was following us.
“Woo Young-tae Daehyup.”
“Woo Young-tae Daehyeop? That’s funny. Just call me brother.”
“Yes. Older brother. Did you also lift your luggage when you first entered Cheol-o-dan?”
Seong Ji-gon asked a question with his eyes shining. Woo Young-tae laughs at Sung Ji-gon’s pure appearance.
“When I first entered Cheolgodan? At that time, I raised the sword, not the burden. At that time, Cheol-oh-dan fought a battle with the ronin-dan of another faction.”
“Wow….”
Seong Ji-gon listened to Woo Young-tae with his ears perked up. Woo Young-tae was excited and spoke about his experience.
‘Ah, damn it.’
I grumbled inside.
Originally, my plan was to take control of Cheolgodan. There was no reason to join the rookie group. After beating Jin Gu-an, the leader of the Cheol-O-Dan, take control of the Cheol-O-Dan and manage the nerds like slaves, and then go to Manmu Tower comfortably.
However, my plan was canceled due to Sung Ji-gon’s opposition.
‘I never thought Sung Ji-gon had fantasies about the ronindan.’
It was a common story.
The nangin are unmanned people who roam the river without a place to live. And the story of the ronin is wrapped in 30% truth and 70% bravado, and becomes a narrow act.
‘Sung Ji-gon, you bastard. I still haven’t let go of my lingering feelings for the knights.’
It was a kind of nerdy experience.
‘Aiming for a knight on the subject of being a grandma…. Crazy Halkas.’
I was very annoyed, but since I had already accepted Seong Ji-gon’s offer, I couldn’t help it. The deal between Sung Ji-gon and me has already ended.
‘How could she refuse to offer her virginity to me.’
Whoa.
Let’s suffer for a while
I let out a small sigh and walked.
•••
“Newcomer! Don’t sit still, prepare dinner!”
Some rongin shouted at us.
“Hey, dinner?! Are we?!”
Seong Ji-gon asked in confusion. Nangin furrowed his brow.
“Are there any other recruits besides you? In our Cheol-O-dan, newcomers are in charge of chores. That’s a tradition You don’t mean to come all this way and say you can’t do it?!”
“Oh, no. It can’t be. Tradition can’t help it…. We’ll do it.”
“After dinner, prepare your bed. Oh, don’t forget to stay up all night. You are the last watch.”
Sung Ji-gon rolled his eyes to the side. The other ronin were playing in groups of twos and threes. There was no one who actually practiced martial arts on the subject of heading to the Manmu Tower saying he wanted to change his life. It was a part where I could understand why the ronin was not treated well.
“It’s too much to stay up all night. We also need time to rest.”
“Write.”
Nang-in glared at Seong Ji-gon as if to kill him.
“Should I say something else? This is the tradition of Cheol-O-Dan. When I was a freshman, I went through all sorts of hardships. It’s what newcomers do, so don’t nag.”
“… I know.”
“Shit. What kind of stupid guy came in… Wow.”
Nangin grumbled and spat and left.
Sung Ji-gon came to my side.
“Yujin. It’s tradition, but what can I do? Let’s suffer By the way, do you know how to cook?”
“Cooking? I don’t eat because I cook myself. Neither do you.”
“It is true…. I can’t help it. I’ll have to ask Brother Wu.”
“Sung Ji-gon. It’s still not too late Let’s get rid of the stupid things that don’t work and turn them upside down. I will cook Jin Goo-eon on my own.”
“No. Let’s do some more. It’s a tradition of Cheol-O-Dan. You have to do that to get Cheol-O-Dan’s recognition. Brother Wu said it too. Life as a rookie novelist is a bit difficult, but I believe you can become a true novelist only when you gain experience and receive recognition from everyone.”
“Damn Halkas.”
“What?”
“Yes, do whatever you want. In return, you must dedicate your virgins to me from now on.”
“Thank you. If anything, I can give up at least three women of my taste.”
“I don’t need it, bastard. You are the only one who can freely fuck that withered old tree-like pussy without hesitation.”
“It’s a pussy that has endured countless years. Respect me.”
I shook my head.
Afterwards, I prepared dinner with Sung Ji-gon. There are 35 members of Cheolohdan. Two people had to prepare a large dinner. Dinner was set with soup. It’s like putting all the ingredients in one place. Of course, the reaction was bad, and I had to be ridiculed and insulted by the ronin.
After that, I was able to go to bed after washing the dishes and spreading the bed for the rongin.
“Yujin. It’s a little annoying, but it’s not particularly difficult.”
Seong Ji-gon’s stage was the stage of emergence. Seong Ji-gon was the strongest in Cheol-o-dan, except for me and the leader.
“Physically, it is not difficult. It’s just that it’s kind of like a mental breakdown. It’s not too late even now. Let’s knock it over.”
“After a while, we will also recognize them as rongins. Eugene, do you want to eat this?”
“What?”
“These are the raspberries that older brother Woo gave me. I will share with you.”
“Done. I’m not going to eat.”
I closed my eyes. Actually, I didn’t sleep well. Sung Ji-gon continued to chatter as if it were the same.
“Oh, I want to have sex. Normally, this is the time to have sex…. Eugene, do you want to have sex too?”
“Of course I want to. But there are no women in this ronin troupe.”
“Brother Woo told me, but the number of female rongins is very hostile. They say that one out of 100 is a woman.”
“That many? Unexpected. It’s better to sell yourself than to do something dangerous.”
“But I don’t really like prostitutes these days.”
“It’s because there are no old women among high-class prostitutes. No, even among ordinary prostitutes, you don’t have your taste.”
A high-class prostitute is a freshly made hot plate of rice. However, Sung Ji-gon’s taste is rotten and moldy rice because he can’t rest. It was close to impossible to find a prostitute who could penetrate Seong Ji-gon’s taste.
“Still, the girls of my taste say it’s easy to make money if you give them money.”
“It’s not easy to make money at that age, so of course it is.”
We chatted for quite some time. Then the chat naturally ended.
“…… Ah. I want to see mom Maybe it’s because she’s independent, but she really misses her mother’s pussy…. Will her grandmother be okay? She shouldn’t die until I go back…. Ah, I can smell her grandmother’s sour cunt….”
“Crazy bastard.”
I giggled at Sung Ji-gon’s words. The words this guy spits out make me laugh.
“Anyway, work hard tomorrow too.”
“Yujin. You are suffering too Why are you talking like it’s someone else’s business?”
“Because it’s someone else’s business.”
“No. Because you do too.”
I had an automatic progression. It will be Avatar, not me, who will hit the jackpot.
A week passed like that. Of course, it’s not my standard, but Sung Ji-gon’s standard. I secretly went to Mt. Nakwol at night every two days. He spent the night with Namgungrin, Namgungseol, and Miryung to relieve his accumulated lust. However, it was not Seong Ji-gon.
Seong Ji-gon, who couldn’t hug a woman, was weak. He diligently did chores for a week, but Cheol-oh-dan did not acknowledge us, newcomers, to the end.
At this point, you just have to notice. Jin Goo-eon, the leader of Cheol-oh-dan, accepted me and Seong Ji-gon to join the team in order to pamper people.
“Brother Wu said. I just need to hold on a little longer. And now it doesn’t matter… Ugh…. I’m going crazy because I want to have sex….”
Seong Ji-gon, a sex addict, tore his hair out in agony. The guy who used to have sex every day hasn’t had sex in a week. It must be going crazy and jumping up and down.
“Be patient.”
Migration has passed.
While preparing for bed, we accidentally overheard the conversation between Woo Young-tae and the ronin.
“Woo Young-tae, how long are you going to play with them?”
Haha. It’s not a joke, it’s management, management. They say if you push too hard, they’ll run away. You have to let them go moderately and talk hopefully in order to work without talking. Seong Ji-gon, look at him. He works very hard.”
“Sung Ji-gon? He followed me like a pet dog.”
Haha. He’s a really stupid asshole. Do you know what I said last time? The rongin is a knight. Man of chivalrous spirit.”
“Man of chivalrous spirithaha, crazy bastard, who says that a ronin is a swordsman these days?”
“So.”
It was the sound of laughing at Sung Ji-gon.
Glance. I checked Sung Ji-gon’s condition. His red face was contorted with anger. Is it because of the feeling of betrayal toward Woo Young-tae? Tears welled up in Seong Ji-gon’s eyes.
Then he sighed and said.
“Eugene…. I’m going to eat all of those babies. .”
