Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 76 Vain (1)

“So how was it?”

“What do you mean?”

“Haha, you know.”

“…?”

“Are you so upset? “One of Wonju’s countless strengths is that he is honest without adding or subtracting, but he is finally planning to give up one of his strengths.”

Soyeonsim sighed.

“I think I’ve said this before. “If you suddenly change the topic of conversation, the other person gets embarrassed.”

“hmm?”

“Plus, you don’t even say what the topic of the conversation is.”

“oh?”

“Anyway, I knew you were tired of people asking how you were doing. So what do you mean, how was it?”

“ah?”

“….”

“Yes. From what I heard, I realized I was a bit unexpected.”

Probably not a little.

So Yeon-sim sighed inwardly. On the outside, he seems like a very clean-cut person, but there are times when he gives people a hard time.

‘Well, in some ways, it’s hard to say it’s sometimes.’

In the Heavenly Demon Church, the leader is on the same level as God. Of course it is bound to be difficult.

But it’s not tricky. This is because the religious leader is not someone to be picky about, but someone to trust.

So Yeon-sim was now facing the most difficult and possibly most fearful person in the Protestant Church.

“The Three Confucius.”

“….”

“How was it? “Have you not seen each other quite often lately?”

Soyeonsim’s eyes became sharp.

“Did you know?”

“Ahaha. It just so happened that it happened that way.

It’s hard to find a hobby in this position of general military officer, so these days, I’m keeping my ears open to how the world is going.

I live my life listening to this and spilling that. “It’s quite a bit of fun.”

I’m laughing hard without even thinking about it. I couldn’t tell if he was actually happy or just pretending.

So Yeon-sim sipped her tea while looking at the middle-aged civil servant.

“Do you like the car?”

“I don’t care about the type of car. “But I didn’t know you also drink oyster tea.”

“I’ve had a bit of a taste for it lately. “At first I wondered why I was drinking it, but after drinking it, I found it to be quite good.”

“It’s okay if you drink it before going to bed.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t have much to sleep in.”

The writer, who looked sullen for a moment, then grinned.

“So how was the Three Confucius?”

“You’re persistent.”

“Cancer. A merciless tyrant! The number one butcher on campus! “The person who was called that has shown a lot of change in recent years.”

“…How dare you spit out such irreverent remarks.”

“What do you think? “Isn’t it okay to insult the royal family in their absence?”

“That’s a sin.”

“Probably not?”

“that’s right.”

“Or what if it’s true? Anyway, how was the Three Confucius? “I guess you’re quite interested in conversation, don’t you think?”

“It’s fun to talk to, so we see each other often.”

“Khaat! “This is really interesting.”

“What’s so interesting?”

“It’s bound to be interesting. “Isn’t it true that Wonju, who is famous for not opening up his mind, has become close enough to do some kind of deal with the Three Dukes?”

“…!”

“Hmm, I’d like to meet you in private.”

So Yeonsim’s face visibly hardened.

“How did you know?”

She did not necessarily deny the messenger’s words. He is a person who, if he puts his mind to it, can see through whether his words are true or false.

No, he is someone who already knows everything.

The monk chuckled.

“It doesn’t matter how you know.”

“That’s important to me too.”

“well. “What’s really important is how much support Hwan Hui-won, who maintains neutrality, will provide to the Three Dukes in the future.”

“I can assure you that Hwan Hee-won will not get involved in political strife between successors.”

“You leave room for Wonju individuals to intervene.”

Soyeonsim’s eyes narrowed. Even though she was good at maintaining her composure, she was quite angry.

“Even if that were the case, I don’t think it would be any of your business?”

Hwan Hee-won is in charge of financial administration at Shingyo. Since it was a group that controlled household finances, it was famous for its powerful real power.

So what about the military department?

The military department is literally in charge of security education.

A group where the military power of an organization is concentrated is naturally bound to be strong.

In particular, the status of the military department in the Heavenly Demon Church, which values the law of the jungle as a virtue, was enormous and more powerful than any other organization.

However, no matter how military the military may be, it cannot abuse Hwanheewon. If it involves money, everyone except the religious leader must receive approval from Hwanheewon.

Therefore, the conversation between the head of the military department and the head of Hwanheewon had to be mostly calm.

This is because we know very well that if we attack each other, all that will remain is scars.

Therefore, Soyeonsim’s reaction could be seen as quite unusual.

The middle-aged civil servant Ho Yaoseong answered with a smile.

“It seems I have made So Wonju uncomfortable again.”

“Yes, it’s quite uncomfortable.”

“Ahaha, I apologize. You know, right? It’s hard to say it with my own mouth, but I’m a person who doesn’t know where I’ll end up. Thanks to that, I sometimes get misunderstood.”

Ho Yo-seong nodded. The relaxed smile was still there, but it felt more serious than before.

“Wonju is right. It’s not really a matter for me to get involved in.

Even if I have the authority to do so, I know very well how much So Wonju thinks of our school. “There is trust on both sides of the project.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“So I got curious.”

“What?”

“Why did Lord Su Yuan, who was so loyal and clear-headed, send the Three Dukes out of the country without saying a word to me?”

At that moment, strength went into So Yeon-sim’s hand holding the tea cup.

Hu Yaosheng shook his head.

“Please don’t take this as a threat or sarcasm.

Also, we do not intend to send Wonju, who ignored the school’s rules and system, to the penal court. Because I think there is a reason.”

It will happen. If she had that intention, So Yeon-sim would have been summoned to the criminal court before even having this conversation.

“You’re saying it’s pure curiosity.”

“That’s right. “You saw it correctly.”

“Why are you so curious about the Three Dukes?”

Ho Yo-seong squinted one eye humorously.

“I’m curious. “Really.”

Xiao Yanshen looked at Hu Yaosheng’s face. The goal is to find out if it is sincere.

But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t figure it out.

Even if she doesn’t know anything else, her eye for seeing people is second to none. One of the people who was ambiguous even in her eyes was Ho Yo-seong.

“I don’t have anything to say.”

“Hmm.”

“It’s hard to say this or that about him without seeing him in person. Of course, everyone is like that.”

“Do you mean there is something that cannot be explained?”

“….”

Hu Yaosheng grinned. It was a laugh that revealed the same playfulness as when I first saw him, throwing away even the slight seriousness he had shown just a moment ago.

“It’s even more interesting. “This is the first time I’ve heard Wonju say something like that.”

“is that so.”

“yes.”

“Anyway, you can see it whenever you want….”

“So I’m going to take a look. “When the Three Dukes return to school, I would like to treat them to a cup of tea.”

Soyeonsim, who had been quietly looking at him, stood up.

“I will send you the intelligence group’s annual budget before the date you mentioned.”

“As expected, it’s refreshing.”

“I hope there will be no conflicts with the military in the future.”

It meant that each person should do their job properly in their respective areas.

Hu Yaosheng shrugged his shoulders.

“You mean this? How could I want to be in trouble with Hwan Hee-won? “I am still a pacifist.”

Soyeonsim lowered her head.

“then.”

It was a somewhat rushed ending. Hu Yaosheng smiled and waved his hand.

When he felt so angry, he held his chin.

“Hmm, I’m really curious about this.”

It was my first time seeing So Yeon-sim’s reaction like that. It was a good thing I didn’t mention the commander-in-chief because I didn’t want to provoke him further.

Of course, you don’t have to stop if you do it. Because So Yeon-sim was not stupid enough to project her personal displeasure onto public affairs.

“Are you a candidate for succession who has grown rapidly since leaving office and is showing unconventional moves?”

Ho Yaoseong’s smile deepened.

No one except Lee Cheon-sang will be able to tell what kind of monster is lurking inside that mischievous smile.

“This is why you complain and act like a total soldier. “Every time I feel bored, something exciting happens.”

He emptied all the remaining tea.

“Now then, let’s get all the remaining work done before my interest comes!”

The back of my neck felt hot. After the conversation with So Yeon-sim, Ho Yo-seong’s life as a Protestant became fun again for the first time in a while.

* * *

Sigh!

A ray of red lightning seemed to cross the land and quickly ran down the hill. The slope was so steep that it almost seemed like we were flying over the cliff.

Paang!

Seoryang stepped on the edge of the hill and flew into the air.

The eyes of Seoryang, floating in the air, and Jeong Il-ryong, who was standing on the hill, collided with sparks flying.

“Hahaha!!”

Xi Liang burst into laughter.

When I saw the other person up close, my anger got stronger, and my uncontrollable anger made me laugh. That’s why Seoliang’s laughter was so scary.

Jeong Il-ryong’s eyebrows twitched.

‘Where did you get a mine like that?’

Huh!

There was no time to continue thinking. The speed of the young demon, who was slowly descending, suddenly increased.

Paaang!

Jeong Il-ryong’s eyes widened.

It explodes in the air and creates explosive speed for a moment. It was a new method of rising that even a decent expert could not imitate.

Xi Liang swung the Geodo.

Quang! Damn it!

A sword as large as two pieces was created on the land. Cracks like spiderwebs appeared around the wide-open ground.

Jeong Il-ryong’s face was filled with pure surprise as he avoided Seo-ryang’s sword with exquisite walking techniques.

‘this guy?’

It must be swung with such terrifying force that it leaves traces like this. Even in Uicheonmaeng, it is difficult to find someone who shows off this level of sword power.

Seo-ryang’s face became grimly distorted.

“Yeah, I’d be so sad if I fell with one knife!”

‘Disappointed?’

what? Does this guy know me?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

There’s no need to talk.

Even though he delivered such a powerful blow, he struck without even taking a breath, his entire body was full of elasticity, and the majesty of the Geodo that was swung at the same time was truly terrifying.

Jeong Il-ryong swung his sword reflexively.

Blah blah blah!

The swords of the two people collided with colorful fireworks exploding.

Although he was already surprised by the momentum and power, when the swords actually clashed, Jeong Il-ryong couldn’t help but be even more surprised.

‘Such power!’

Damn it! Pow! Quang!

Jeong Il-ryong retreated with a merciless binge.

I wasn’t particularly shocked, but I needed some time to look at the other person.

And Seoryang had no intention of giving that leisure.

Pabababak! Buaaang!

He repeatedly strikes the ground with his feet and turns to approach, then swings his sword again.

It was truly an intimidating sword strike with energetic movements.

It was surprising that he could swing a sword that big so quickly, but even more surprising was the way he had already become one with the sword.

Pure white sword energy wavered on Jeong Il-ryong’s treasured sword.

Quaaaang!

Xu Liang took three or four steps back. On the other hand, Jeong Il-ryong only took a step back.

Considering that it was Seoryang who attacked first, we could see how skillfully Jeong Il-ryong reacted. It was also proof that the inner strength was pure and solid.

Jeong Il-ryong opened his mouth.

“I don’t think there’s a need for conversation when you’re committing such a murderous act. I’m curious about one thing. “Who are you?”

Xu Liang grinned.

Even though I suffered losses, my fighting spirit did not diminish. On the contrary, he was spewing out even more fiery murderous energy, as if that was natural.

“Find out who I am with that damn sword!”

Wooooow.

The shadow magic energy that was emitting lightning along with a threatening sound quickly condensed into the body.

The splendid spirit group has died, but the atmosphere has become even more unusual. The intention is to open the underground prison return ceremony.

Jeong Il-ryong’s eyes widened.

Seo-ryang shouted.

“Give me my leg, you fucking bastard!”

Kwazizig!

The first floor of Amyeongjin Magic Gong is completely opened.

A ceremony to return to the Underground Jade was held.
