Episode 966:
It is indeed Zhuge Dynasty.
Even the future knew what she was doing for her master.
Ilkhana’s mind is calm.
Because of my boss, I am already overworked.
If I die like this, isn’t it inevitable?
“I’m sure the plotter is planning to attack alone to find the perfect decoy and place Yeo Ha-ryun in the middle of the decoy. “After that, he will move the examination to ensure that at least one more of his subordinates survives.”
“As expected…”
Ilkana nodded.
It was only then that Yeo Ha-ryun and Namgoong-un realized that they were clapping their hands.
I guess that doesn’t matter.
The secretaries were already estimating each other’s workload.
It was a pity.
‘Ilkana is doing all the work that should have been done by five tricksters!’
This is death from overwork.
No matter how much you win the war, there is no way to avoid death from overwork.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“I will help you prevent future overwork. “The work that Ilkana will do in the future cannot be done by one person alone.”
“yes!”
Ilkana looked like she was about to cry.
After all, does the strategist know about the troubles of the strategist?
“First of all, it’s an incentive. “What happens if the fact that I have made a mistake spreads through government offices?”
“That’s nothing to worry about. In the first place, let alone the government in this area that was in collusion with the Demonic Cult, the influence of the Nangung family was not even close to the power… Their affiliations were originally scattered like pebbles in the Yangtze River, so it was surprisingly difficult for outsiders to distinguish them.”
It’s quite good.
Especially since he was able to improvise immediately based on the information that Jin Cheon-hee had destroyed the enemy.
“That’s a very good trick.”
“I applied and imitated the method my brother taught me in the past. “Even though all hermit crabs are the same, didn’t they say that people judge them based on the shell they cover?”
A strategy of mimicry.
I learned a lot when Ilkana practiced at Baekrin’s Pavilion a while ago.
This is one of them.
Jin Tianxi shook his head.
“Learning it and using it well are two different things. That’s why Ilkana is so great. “Even though ordinary strategists have learned a thousand pieces of knowledge from the Book of War, there are many cases where they cannot come up with even a one-trick strategy.”
“Because I served my master like a strange person, I had to do something to avoid dying. “Brother.”
As he said that, he looked at Yeo Ha-ryun with faint eyes.
“…?”
Yeo Ha-ryun looked at him as if asking what he was talking about, and Jin Cheon-hee also answered.
“is it so. Let’s sell the book, let’s sell it. “If you accept a strange man as your master, you will either die on the battlefield or die from overwork.”
You can be considered comfortable as a strategist only when you meet a person like that who is moderately considerate and compromises with the world a bit.
But don’t be a conniving schemer like Jojo.
“you’re right. Brother. Still, Brother Yeo Ha-Ryun entrusted me with full authority and did not even suspect anyone. “That’s convenient.”
Why worry about tax evasion and betrayal when you have the Fist of the Heavenly Demon?
When you find out, then you just walk away and say, ‘Let’s die one by one.’ You can do it.
“I understand. Ha-Ryun says that’s convenient. It’s a world where it’s not easy to find people who are the same on the outside and the inside. And because he practices cooperation alone in the Demonic Cult.”
Yeo Ha-ryun said.
“I am a member of the ‘Black Sword Gate’ of the Mysterious School.”
Namgoong Woon said.
“Oh, that’s right. “The small ancestors are from the Mysterious Clan and the Black Sword Clan.”
“…one.”
“No, I didn’t call him ‘younger brother.’ Isn’t it just a polite thing to do in a small family? “Isn’t that also possible?”
“….”
After thinking about it, I stopped counting the deaths as if I was convinced.
Namgoong Woon swept his heart.
“Ah, my heart is pounding. “What on earth was Jin Young thinking when he became a sworn brother with a guy like that?”
“Ha-ryun is surprisingly cute like this.”
“…okay. “You said that there are times when your blood… or Baekrin’s line, can be cute if you look at it.”
Namgoongun thought that Jinyoung seemed to like things that were ‘terribly cute’.
The problem is that in the eyes of others, things can only be seen as ‘horrible’.
Ilkana said.
“Anyway, we finished the basic preparations and arrived. “I leaked the information, so I came to tell you that two of the other small sect leaders are coming this way.”
Wow!
The black cat seems to be full and rubs its cheek against Ilkana’s ankle.
Now this guy is not a spirit creature, but a money-eating devil.
Ilkana sighed and scratched the black cat’s forehead.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“It’s refreshing because it’s rare to get caught up in someone else’s strategy.”
“When will someone like Zhuge Shi experience something like this? Please enjoy this opportunity.”
It was like that.
It is said that the middle class cannot cut its own hair, but the Zhuge family always had to cut their own hair.
Even if there are so many tricksters, if they don’t catch my eye, shouldn’t I do it?
‘Well, I have no complaints. As a teacher, there may be things you don’t like, but is it common for a tactician to improvise to this degree for his master? Ilkana has also grown a lot.’
Jin Cheon-hee took the ice crystal sword and stood up.
The same goes for Namgoong Woon.
Yeo Ha-ryun lightly dusted his sleeves.
For some reason, it smelled like blood and a faint scent of sandalwood.
It is the scent of death.
It was something that would unfold in the future.
* * *
A strategist is one who prepares.
Perhaps because Ilkana had prepared the base well, it became easier to brush over it.
Jin Cheon-hee went straight into civil engineering.
After returning to the island of Supachae, which they had once destroyed, they immediately set up a camp and began laying various traps.
Namgoongun said this as he helped with it.
“I didn’t know I would be dealing with so many black swordsmen.”
Coincidentally, there are no demonic cultists around.
Just the two of us with Jin Cheon-hee.
It was only then that Namgoongwoon opened his mouth.
“It’s so strange. “Your family has suffered such disaster. Don’t you hate the Demonic Cult?”
Jin Cheon-hee eventually pulled out the thorn in her heart and showed it to him.
“Is that why you tried to push me away so coldly?”
“….”
Jin Cheon-hee looked at Nam Gung-un without answering.
Those eyes were asking:
My father lost all his martial arts skills due to magic, so isn’t there enough reason to hate magic?
Why is Namgoong Un? I just laughed.
“The reason my father got into magic was ultimately because of his greed. “He said he didn’t know he was a magician, but the more he became the head of the family and his horizons broadened… I wondered if he really didn’t know.”
“….”
“Even if you cook it a little, it becomes too strong, so you might have felt something strange about it. If it was a proper martial arts skill, wouldn’t the results be worth the effort? There are times when no matter how hard you try, nothing comes out of it. If Namgungse was originally the head of the family, there was no way he could not have realized that. “In the end, it is greed that blinds us.”
For an evaluation of one’s own father, it was extremely cold.
“….”
“And although the Namgung family may appear to be united and speaking with one voice from the outside, in fact, behind the scenes, numerous factions are fighting against each other. “They are certainly members of the Namgung family, but not all of them can be said to represent the Namgung family.”
“I know that.”
Just with a little bit of intelligence, you can tell that as the Namgung family is huge, the behind-the-scenes fights are also huge.
And Namgoongun hasn’t been able to control them all yet.
If he saw the blood, he could catch it faster, but Namgoongun didn’t go that far.
Conversely, it served as an opportunity for Jin Cheon-hee to realize how determined and strong Nam Gung-un was.
There’s no way you wouldn’t know that it’s easier to solve a problem with a knife.
Namgoong Woon continued.
“It’s probably the same for demons. And the Heavenly Demon Blood Road, which is called the battle for the succession of the Demonic Cult. From a realistic perspective, no Murim lord in history has ever blocked this Heavenly Demon blood route. So, one of the small cult leaders will someday become the Heavenly Demon. “Isn’t that right?”
Cold logic.
However, Jin Cheon-hee does not deny it.
Because it ended up being like that in the Supreme Heavenly Demon.
“If you think about it rationally. As a result of tracking and monitoring Yeo Ha-ryun’s movements, I find that he is the most moderate of the Sogyo lords. “Hoping for someone like this to become the leader of a religious cult is, after all, my arbitrary judgment.”
I felt like I knew why Namgungun became the Murim lord in the original, The Most Valuable Demon.
The current King of Chang, Ak-jin, may have handed over the next role to Nam Gung-un.
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“If that is the result of rational arithmetic, what is the emotional arithmetic?”
“I saw a trace in his footprints. He also trusts the insight of his younger brother, Jin. “Are you stupid?”
“no.”
Namgoong Woon.
He is a very realistic romantic.
Even though he understands the reality that his father may have guessed that he is a magician and may have learned it, and that he cannot prevent Kang-ho from being burned by the blood feud of the small religious leaders.
If so, find the method that causes the least damage and help those most appropriate.
‘Surprisingly, it is also the most correct method at the moment.’
According to his judgment, no one in the Supreme Heavenly Demon could block the Heavenly Demon Blood Path.
In the end, the main character, Yeo Ha-ryun, will become the Heavenly Demon, but how much blood was shed in the process?
There is no way he knows his original future, but he still makes the best choice.
And yet, they intentionally hide their identity and draw a line by saying it is an arbitrary judgment.
‘Currently, only Yeo Haryun and Ilkana in the Demonic Cult know who Namgoongun is.’
The clothes he is wearing are dark and his face is wearing a mask.
The handle and sheath of the thunder dragon sword he is using have been changed, so on the outside he looks like a warrior belonging to a demonic cult.
‘Are you doing something that would otherwise be a disgrace to Moorim just for the sake of romance? this person is.’
It is a risky gamble that could cause harm to the Namgung family.
Are you saying that when that time comes, your younger brother will take care of things?
‘It’s really hard to rush into something like this without even looking back.’
In conclusion, the choice he is making now is the one that sheds the least blood.
A strong person is a strong person to the core.
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“How is your brother?”
Namgung Yeon.
He is Namgoongun’s younger brother and is a person who becomes vengeful and turns into an iron-blooded sword after Namgoongun dies.
“I’m happy every day. Now that I’m the head of the family, there’s no one in Sega who will ignore me. I’ve collected a lot of things I like, and these days, I’m going all the way to Sacheondangga to play with Danga. “He clearly knows that his brother is going through a hard time, but he is just enjoying himself.”
He grumbles as if he feels unfair.
Actually, it’s fun to see the head of the family being so crazy and the younger brother playing so excitedly.
‘I see. Yes, the iron blood sword… it wasn’t something Namgung-yeon wanted to do.’
What Namgung-yeon wanted to do most was this kind of daily life.
No need to live with revenge and ambition.
Days where I just enjoy the small happiness of everyday life.
That must have been exactly what she wanted.
‘Namgoong must continue to live.’
When I see him commit such a reckless act today, I can understand why this man became a Murim lord and was killed by the Most High Demon, Yeo Ha-ryun.
It was strange to see that he was now trying to protect Yeo Ha-ryun with his own hands.
‘Things that change fate can create a butterfly effect and change the landscape this much.’
Although they are fighting, Namgoongwoon does not hate Yeo Ha-ryun, and Yeo Ha-ryun… tried to end it with a slap on the wrist, so I think it is a sign of intimacy(?) in its own way.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“It’s like that in life. And Ha-Ryun’s subordinates are kind. I don’t go anywhere and don’t take bribes or harass people. “Because they are the kind of kids who quietly practice martial arts diligently.”
“okay. Seeing the magician sucking other people’s raw blood, I realized that the subordinates here are different. “I saw him just punching the air like a crazy person since dawn.”
“That’s right. “It has a pretty cute corner.”
“Instead, you are a fanatic who believes in a god called Sun and Moon?”
“Yes. But actually, it’s a bit unclear whether he’s really a fanatic or not. Just looking at the Ma Jong Yu family, there’s something… They go back to their own family.”
“But aren’t you absolutely loyal to the Heavenly Demon?”
“That’s true, but it’s still difficult for me to understand them all.”
Namgoongun nodded at Jin Cheonhee’s words.
“Well… it might be difficult for criminals like us to understand fanatics.”
After all, he is a realistic romantic.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“ah. Please drive this iron bar deep there.”
“hmm. “Like this?”
“yes. That much. And please split that rock in half.”
When Namgoongun drew his sword, it was cut off with a thunderbolt.
“like this?”
“yes. So… can’t you just change the color of the brain flag? Does it look roughly like a magic gun?”
Namgoongun’s thunderbolt instantly turns black.
“Can I do this?”
‘Wow… you do that just because you ask me to?’
This is the perfect Madou, with his rebellious swordsmanship and the terrifying colors of his thunderbolts.
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“Will it happen right away if I tell you?”
“I just changed the form, so why is it so difficult? “What matters is the essence.”
As expected, this brother. It seems like he came to realize something big.
‘I thought I was jumping in based on my sixth sense without any countermeasures… but in the end, it was right to trust my own ability and do it.’
How much stronger have you become?
First of all, looking at the way his thoughts have spread straight out, I think this brother has also reached the end of Hwagyeong.
Even though he ate the elixir like rice and his teacher, Elder Taesang, trained him in hell with his eyes wide open, he couldn’t achieve this much…
‘It’s a talent.’ It’s a talent.’
Namgoongwoon, who is so talented, asked.
“Jin, do you have anything else to order? I’ll do whatever you ask.”
“….”
