Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 206

Episode 206 Float the odds (1)

“Gasp!”

Ma Dong-pil opened his eyes and straightened his upper body.

At that time, a harsh voice was heard from next to me.

“Lie down again.”

“…?”

“I told you to lie down. And then when the wound bursts… it bursts.”

Grumbling.

Blood oozed from the white bandage wrapped around the abdomen.

Ma Dong-pil, who was coughing, turned his head.

“Head of Criminal Justice?”

“Lie down. “I’ll call the doctor.”

“It’s okay.”

Ugh.

Although it was a bit cloudy due to the internal injury, it was still a strong Magi. As the demonic energy of Geumgang Yacha rose, the torn wound suddenly shriveled. By tightening the muscles with Qi, the open wound was closed.

Gogu’s eyes lit up.

“Your stamina is amazing.”

“thank you.”

“Still, it would be better to rest for a while. It is an internal injury that will become chronic if not treated properly. “It was a really tough fight.”

Gogu pressed Ma Dong-pil’s chest. Ma Dong-pil lay down with a groan.

“The congressman said you overworked your body. However, the quality of the magic energy is surprisingly good, so it is said that you will be able to wield a sword in about a couple of months. “Of course, as long as you don’t overdo it.”

This means that you have to lie in a hospital bed for two months. Considering Ma Dong-pil’s state and Geumgang Yacha Demon’s recovery ability, I could see how severe his internal injuries had been.

Ma Dong-pil sighed, and his eyes flashed for a moment.

“Yeo Yeo Sojeo?!”

“It’s okay. The maid named Aenghwa is also fine. “It’s all thanks to you.”

Ma Dong-pil breathed a sigh of relief.

Gogu, who was quietly looking down at Ma Dong-pil, stood up.

“Please consider yourself lucky that your arms and legs are still intact.”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you get tricked by your masters?”

“ah!”

Not long after waking up, my mind goes back and forth.

‘Now that I think about it…’

I don’t know how embarrassed I was by the mysterious experts who suddenly showed up. They killed half of them, but there were too many. Moreover, there was one expert among them who was close to him.

“Who on earth are they?”

“You can hear about that later. “What’s important is that you all are safe.”

Gogu frowned.

“I was kidnapped with two women and left for two days. So the wound got worse. “If you hadn’t become this strong, your demonic energy would have flowed back and your energy and blood would have become tangled.”

This means that if I had not entered the realm of transcendence, I would have left for the Nether Road.

“Let’s first say thank you to the Seven Princesses later.”

“Child princess?”

“Gongnyeo Chil persuaded Gongja Wukong to search the entire castle. Surprisingly, they found you before not only the main temple but also the Cheonma Army.”

“…!”

“If they hadn’t discovered it earlier, you would still be unconscious and passed out. “If I had been unlucky, I would have lost my life.”

“…okay.”

“Make sure to thank me later.”

“All right. Thank you for letting us know in advance.”

Ma Dong-pil, who was silent for a moment, carefully opened his mouth.

“Head of the house.”

“Say it.”

“Then… what about Confucius?”

“Confucius…”

Gogu looked up at the ceiling.

A confused light appeared in his indifferent eyes.

“You’re safe. “I’m in worse condition than you.”

“yes?!”

“You had a life-and-death struggle with the Grand Duke and the Duke of Yi. Fortunately, you won that fight. However, it was so intense that even Confucius’ body was not in good condition.”

Ma Dong-pil stood up again.

Although he was not in a hurry, his expression was more serious than ever.

“Please tell me where Confucius is.”

“Where did you hear me? Lie down. “If you don’t move for a while…”

“Please tell me.”

I already pulled back the blanket and stood up. His whole body was shaking, but his will seemed firm.

Gogu sighed.

“You are in the penal prison.”

“A brain prison?!”

“Don’t misunderstand. Because he was not imprisoned, but went to see the captive Lee Gongja. “He will come back again.”

Gogu’s hand pressed down on Ma Dongpil’s shoulder. Ma Dong-pil sat down on the bed of his own accord.

“Do your best to recover until he comes back. “It’s not polite for a guard to look like this.”

“….”

“Rest.”

After leaving the room, Gogu stood there for a moment and looked at the window.

The sunlight on Hibmandaesan Mountain was still strong. But as I watched the tree branches swaying, the wind seemed quite cool.

“The Three Dukes of Xilyang…”

A bitter smile appeared on Gogu’s face.

“What a great person.”

If the result is good, the process doesn’t matter?

There are degrees of that too. The actions of the Three Confucius broke the limits of political strife. Because of this, the atmosphere of Protestantism was seething like lava.

Most magicians probably know this unconsciously. That this rebellion was caused by a fight between successors. Most people probably know that it is an imaginary treason fabricated through vice.

But no one can open up about it. This is because the Archduke died and Prince Lee was imprisoned in prison.

‘The atmosphere of this huge organization is influenced by the will of one person. It’s been like that ever since I came out of the bamboo forest.’

Gogu’s expression, which had been smiling bitterly, soon became relaxed.

“I have no choice but to admit it.”

Whether in a good or bad sense, the capabilities of a person called Seo-ryang are far beyond his own.

* * *

“I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s hazing style, but… it’s very glamorous from the very beginning of my Protestant life.”

Yeo Sang-rin grumbled softly.

“If this continues, I will have a reputation in the Dead Sea as a professional kidnapping victim. “How can you be detained if there is a fight?”

Cherry blossoms pouted their lips.

“But don’t look at us negatively, Confucius. “You know how angry Confucius was, right?”

“I don’t know.”

“….”

“You should have seen it to know.”

I had nothing to say.

The cherry blossom cleared her throat and continued to scream.

“Can you help me?”

“Are you going to make the customer do the work?”

“You’re going to help me anyway.”

Yeo Sang-rin smiled. My first impression of Aenghwa was that she was a clumsy but cute person, but now she has changed into a cute child full of responsibility.

“Of course. “Can I bring you some food again?”

“yes.”

“I said it before, but wouldn’t the members of the Blood Soul House take care of it themselves? “I heard that they take good care of the medicine given to patients.”

“Where did you hear that?”

“I heard it from an official. “I also received a medical examination.”

Cherry Blossom sighed.

“Still. “I know how to make quite a few recipes.”

“That’s sincerity.”

“Thanks to you, we were safe.”

Not necessarily. At the time of the attack, the atmosphere of the attackers was very oppressive, but at least there was no hint of murderous intent.

But Yeo Sang-rin understood Aeng-hwa’s feelings. In any case, it may be heartbreaking to hear that the person who devoted himself to you is lying in a hospital bed.

“Then finish the cleaning quickly and make it with me.”

“Do you know how to cook food?”

“I can’t even help you, can you?”

“Yes, then please do me a favor.”

Just like that, the two women finished cleaning their home neatly.

Yeo Sang-rin asked as she entered the kitchen and was making porridge.

“It was amazing.”

What are you talking about out of nowhere? Cherry blossoms tilted their heads.

“What?”

“It’s the driving force of the Three Dukes.”

A look of pride appeared on Aenghwa’s face. I don’t know exactly what part he was talking about, but I felt proud without knowing that he was praising Confucius.

“Our Confucius is good at everything.”

Cherry blossoms speak triumphantly.

Yeo Sang-rin laughed it off as if it was something strange, but deep down, she seriously agreed with Aeng-hwa’s words.

‘It’s not wrong.’

In terms of martial arts alone, it is already enough to be called the best technique in the world.

The most important value in the martial arts world is power. It’s not just the Demonic Murim, but the world of Gangho.

However, people who are strong in martial arts or confident in their power have a strong tendency to solve everything through force.

That was natural. If there was a martial ability that could end any conflict, it could be said that it was desirable to actively use it. At least for individuals.

But Seoliang was not like that.

‘I only think of force as one of the means to solve problems, but not everything is solved through force alone.’

Although it may seem so on the outside, Seo-ryang was by no means a simple person.

Rather, it was meticulous and bold. The only person in the world who would drive the entire organization into chaos by falsely accusing him of rebellion in order to eliminate his political opponents would be Seo-ryang.

How do you resolve that situation? Did you plan it in advance?

And it’s not like that either. If you look at it like that, it’s just extremely simple, but if you look at the situation, it’s moving in a direction that is beneficial to Seoryang.

‘The important thing is distribution that crosses boundaries without hesitation. If a person like this had a proper soldier…’

Yeo Sang-rin’s face hardened.

‘It wouldn’t be unreasonable to plan for the world.’

This may be an overinterpretation. Excluding martial arts, there are many people in the world who are bolder and more capable than Seo-ryang.

However, there is one weapon that only Seoryang has that no one else has.

‘eye.’

Should I call it insight?

Both during the Beast Palace and during this succession battle, Seoliang was good at getting straight to the heart of the problem.

‘It’s not just that. Since digging in, he has been handling the fight according to his own will. No one can do that easily.’

Jin Gwan-yong is a Protestant archpriest. If the abilities are similar, the fight will naturally go in favor of the Grand Duke, Jin Guanyong.

The opponent with whom he had to fight endlessly, the opponent who had no choice but to have an advantage, was thrown into the gutter of treason and cooked.

Perseverance, boldness, martial arts, and even the ability to create an atmosphere.

‘It’s a little clumsy, but it’s no exaggeration to say that with the abilities it has, it’s already at the top of the world.’

Yeo Sang-rin suddenly felt goosebumps rising.

– But it’s not like I really need any help.

– I think it would be better to discuss it after I become the next successor.

This was what Seoyang said to himself at their first meal.

If Binggungju’s daughter-in-law offers to help, it is normal to welcome it and accept it, no matter what kind it is. But Seo-ryang said that there was absolutely no need for that.

Because I am confident. This is because he knows his abilities and believes that he will definitely win this fight.

‘Brother… I joined hands with a very dangerous person.’

People with good abilities do not value relationships with others. Because you can do it all by yourself.

I think the good news is that at least Seo-ryang doesn’t seem like a person without circumstances.

‘But now that we’ve joined hands, we must never put this relationship in danger.’

At that time, Cherry Blossom held out her hand.

“Can you give me a spatula there?”

Yeo Sang-rin smiled.

“I’ll stir it, so you can do something else.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Yeo Sang-rin sighed while gently stirring the porridge.

“…Now is not the time to worry about your brother. “I have to do my best.”

First, let’s make the porridge properly.

* * *

“This concludes the incident report.”

“Good job.”

Ho Yaoseong sighed.

“These days, I feel like my lifespan is being whittled away.”

“Is this an unusually harsh death?”

“It’s so salty.”

Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass without saying a word.

Ho Yaoseong quenched his appetite.

“It’s still a bit chaotic, but we’ve roughly set the tone. “It is expected that things will resolve well if we control the situation for three or ten more days at the earliest.”

“I understand.”

“Outside entry….”

“Issuing a ban.”

“We expect the damage that will result from this to be severe.”

“I guess we can hold the person responsible for this situation accountable.”

Hu Yaosheng scratched his head.

“You haven’t met the Three Dukes yet, have you?”

“That’s right.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“I plan to meet in person and check.”

“So, that’s it…”

At that moment, Ho Yao-seong’s eyes lit up. Lee Cheon-sang filled two glasses.

Lee Cheon-sang, who placed the bottle, spoke lazily.

“If you convince me properly, everything will be the same as before. If you don’t convince me, this will be the last drink he drinks.”

As if waiting, Mine’s voice came from outside Daejeon.

“Sir, the Three Dukes ask to see you.”

“Take it in.”

Kugugugung.

The gates of Daejeon opened and Seo-ryang entered.
