Episode 106Change of idea (6)
What I felt as soon as I saw the axe was wonder itself.
What material was it made of?
It was unknown. Even Yeonhojeong, who had destroyed thousands of weapons and seen tens of thousands of weapons, could not determine what kind of iron was used.
But I understand one thing.
âItâs a huge robbery.â
The black windows stood out, as if they were absorbing even the sunlight.
Black and black. It had an unusual luster to be dismissed as simply black. However, because it was absorbing light, it made the viewer feel a strange sense of mystery.
Overwhelming strength that will never break. At the same time, it has a strange flexibility that seems to be able to bear the weight well.
The harmony of Gangyu came together. Just looking at the window was enough to make me think of that.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs gaze went down.
âWhat about that?â
There was a hook on the end of the spear larger than an adult maleâs fist, but it seemed to be made of a different material than the spear. Of course, he also seemed to be just as strong as Chang Dae.
âWeight.â
In addition to being a ring, it also acts as a weight to balance the center of gravity. I thought that the weight of that ring alone must have been enormous.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs gaze went up again.
The moment he saw the huge ax blade, he felt his breath taken away.
âI know that you have a simple personality. However, it was too unfortunate to just leave it as is, so I made it a little more fancy.â
It wasnât a little flashy.
The width of the ax blade was slightly smaller than the iron part handled previously. Instead, the thickness increased.
And at the center of the huge ax blade was a fierce-looking dragon head that seemed as if it would jump out at any moment. Around the dragon head, red and blue haze-like work was placed, adding even more splendor.
Itâs a masterpiece.
The fighting spirit of a warrior and the majesty of a king were felt together. It was an indescribable majesty.
âThe name was chosen by the owner, but it was a shame to leave it as is, so we called it Gwangryong (çé¾).â
Gwangryong. Itâs a crazy dragon.
It was a somewhat harsh name, but those two simple letters suited it very well. It was a new weapon that was a culmination of craftsmanship that would not rust even after a thousand years.
Yeon Ho-jeong walked as if possessed and grabbed the spear pole.
âheavy.â
It was of great weight and thickness. Although it was similar to the iron part I wielded before, it felt thicker.
âItâs different from the wind and thunder department.â
The Wind Thunder was a favorite weapon during the time of the Emperor of Darkness. He was also a new soldier made by the best craftsman in Black Island.
If the Wind Lightning is lightning, the Gwangryongbu is the wind.
If the wind and thunder department is cool, the light dragon department is intense.
If the Pungnoebu showed restrained aesthetics, the Gwangryongbu showed the spirit of expanding without restraint.
It felt reassuring, as if it could protect its owner in any battle. Just looking at it made my blood boil, as if the god of war was in it.
Yeon Ho-jeong heard the Gwangryongbu.
Huh.
The feeling of weight spreading from my wrists, elbows and shoulders to my entire upper body was amazing.
Surprisingly, it seemed somehow lighter than the iron part I had used before. In reality, it would have been heavier, but the burden on the body was less.
Yeon Ho-jeong used Byeokna Jin-gyeol without even knowing it.
Wooooow!
Dok2 cried.
It was similar to Yongyin (é¾å). It seemed like a ferocious dragon perched in the center of the ax blade opened its mouth and roared.
Pyeon Il-gang smiled in satisfaction.
âIt seems like Dokki likes you too. What is it like? âDo you feel okay?â
Any rhetoric that exists in the world was not enough.
In the end, Yeon Ho-jeong, who was thinking about it, spit out one word.
âThere is nothing better.â
Pyeonilgang burst out laughing.
There is no need for modifiers such as awesome or the best. However, if it fits perfectly for the owner to hold and swing, that would be the greatest compliment to the craftsman.
âI thought you would like it. Feel free to swing it. No matter how fierce your strength is, you will be able to withstand it.â
Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.
âthank you.â
âHehe, the owner is happy, so Iâm happy too.â
Pyeonilgang gestured to Mukbi.
âSozer, follow me.â
âyes? Ah yes!â
Mukbi also seemed to be mesmerized by Gwangryongbuâs dazzling appearance. She was startled and glanced at Gwangryongbu as she followed Pyeonilgang.
Yeon Ho-jeong went out of the blacksmith shop holding the Gwangryongbu.
Yikes!
The ax blade of the Gwangryongbu shined brightly under the pouring sunlight.
The light converges rather than scattering it. The ax blade that absorbed the light seemed to make the dragonâs head and haze look brighter.
I put strength into the hand holding the spear.
Kuuk!
The stronger the grip, the stronger the Gwangryongbuâs power seemed to increase exponentially.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âYou received an undeserved gift.â
This one was all I needed. There was no need for an ax other than this one.
I wanted to swing it right away, but I couldnât because of the location. He sat on a flat rock and was busy examining the Gwangryongbu as if fascinated.
How much time has passed like that?
Crackling.
The sound of a demonstration reaching my ears.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
Piiiiing!
One of the planes in front of me was fired at incredible speed.
Yeonhojeong swung the Gwangryongbu as is.
Sigh! bang!
The light dragon that cut the target in half exactly hit the ground. Without applying much force, more than half of the ax blade was stuck.
Yeon Ho-jeong pulled out the axe.
There wasnât a single speck of dust on the ax blade that cut the stone and dirt.
âAs expected, itâs fast even when holding something that heavy.â
Yeon Ho-jeong saw Muk-bi standing in the distance.
In Mo Feiâs hand was a red horned bow. Like the Gwangryongbu, it was unclear what the bow and string were made of.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âIsnât that a lot of tension?â
âI didnât even put any energy into the arrow.â
Nevertheless, the speed at which it was fired was reminiscent of lightning. The perfection of the bow was no less than that of the Gwangryongbu.
Pyeon Il-kang explained.
âIt is a treasure called Hongryeon Palace. I donât know who made it, but I heard itâs difficult to pull off the demonstration to the end unless you have the skills of a peak expert. âItâs probably more valuable than the Gwangryongbu.â
Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi bowed their heads.
âthank you.â
Pyeon Il-gang burst out laughing.
âIs there anything to be thankful for? Now that I have acquired a good weapon, I hope you will use it meaningfully. âThatâs enough.â
A good craftsman gave a rare treasure to a good warrior.
The father-in-law did not expect material compensation. However, what he hopes for is the sight of warriors holding the treasures he created scolding the world.
The two warriors left, promising to become great warriors who would live up to their father-in-lawâs expectations.
âDo you like the bow?â
âA lot.â
âOkay, see you.â
âDo you like the axe?â
âWhat can I say?â
âIt seems so.â
âOkay then, Iâll just leave and see you later.â
âWhere are you going?â
âI have something to do in Zhejiang. âIt will arrive before the end of this year at the latest.â
âThen letâs go together.â
âyou also?â
âwhy? âCanât we go together?â
âThereâs nothing like that, but⦠arenât you going through all this trouble for no reason?â
âOnce you get a bow, you should try drawing a bow.â
âIâm not going there to fight.â
âYouâll have to see. âFor some reason, it seems like the practitioner will get caught up in all kinds of incidents and accidents.â
âI am a child.â
âThatâs just the way it is. âIf something happens, Iâll be of great help, right?â
âOkay, thereâs no need to stop me if I say Iâm going to suffer.â
âYou have a talent for speaking beautifully. âIâm always impressed.â
âI think Iâve said it a few times, but I didnât know you were such a good talker. âHe was so gloomy that he never opened his mouth except when eating.â
âWhen am I?â
ââ¦There must have been a time like that.â
âNo such thing.â
âWell, anyway, letâs run again.â
âGood.â
* * *
âBranch manager.â
âI donât know who it is, but tell them Iâm busy.â
âThatâs not itâ¦.â
âWhy is that?â
âI received a letter from my family.â
The young man who had been playing with the brush for a while stopped his hand.
He put down his brush and raised his head.
âFrom the family?â
âThatâs right.â
The young man, lost in thought for a moment, held out his hand.
âGive it here.â
âYes.â
The young man read the letter in one go.
Lee Geon asked as he saw the face of the young man reading the letter gradually darken.
âIs it a money issue again?â
ââ¦.â
âBranch leader?â
âhmm? âOh, itâs not a financial issue.â
âBut you donât look good.â
The young man filed a complaint.
âI guess my brother noticed.â
ââ¦!â
âI guess thatâs it.â
ââ¦How about sending another letter? As you know, war is about to break out among Zhejiang traders. In the meantime, if we monopolize trade with merchants in the western region, this place will quickly become a battlefield.â
âI guess so.â
Young man Mo Yong-woo sighed.
âIs Brother Hana the kind of person who would understand such a thing? âIf they cause trouble, you will dispatch troops immediately.â
ââ¦.â
âThen thatâs the end. âEveryone who goes against what you say will die.â
Lee Geon sighed.
âItâs not that I donât trust you, branch leader, but⦠do you really want to?â
âI guess so.â
ââ¦.â
âIf you were my brother, you would definitely do that. âSome issues can be resolved through conversation, but if things go beyond the limit, my brotherâs method is to thoroughly suppress the other person with threats and tricks.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes deepened.
âIf even that doesnât work, then I will definitely pull out the sword. And cut it down. âThe core of the problem.â
ââ¦.â
âI think the coordination ends here. It would be better to help them from behind. âIsnât it better than watching someoneâs head get cut off by a knife?â
âokay.â
Mo Yong-woo sighed.
âEvery time something like this happens, I realize how insignificant my abilities are.â
I felt sad about this.
âThe branch managerâs abilities are sufficiently impressive.â
That wasnât just an empty remark; it actually was.
Mo Yong-wu has not yet reached the second stage. Nevertheless, he was a genius with a force that surpassed that of a decent Daemun sect elder.
If this fact becomes known, the reputation of Ilryongsambong will be called the Ssangryongsambong of the past.
That wasnât all. Mo Yong-wu was not only excellent at martial arts but also at merchants. Moreover, his personality was good enough to be called a gentleman.
However, it was difficult for even an unprecedented genius to spread his wings if he was weighed down by the power of his family.
An unlucky genius who is not recognized by the world. That was Mo Yong-woo.
âBranch manager.â
âYou tell me.â S~eaÊá´h the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âHow about⦠doing it this way?â
âhmm?â
Lee Geon spoke carefully.
âTraders in Jiangsu, which is adjacent to Zhejiang, are also in dire straits. And it is Yeonga who is coordinating them.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes lit up.
âByeoksan Yeonga.â
âyes. âIt is said that their coordination was so excellent that many of the conflicts between small and medium-sized traders that seemed ready to explode were resolved within two months.â
âBut?â
âWhy donât we join hands with Yeonga to save them?â
âNo way.â
âyes?â
Mo Yong-woo shook his head resolutely.
âIt can never be like that. âThat puts not only the traders but also you and the soldiers under your branch in danger.â
ââ¦Is that so.â
âI wonât be able to fool you in any way. Besidesâ¦â
Mo Yong-woo sighed.
âRecently, Yeongaâs reputation has spread all over the world. And the reason is because of the Grand Duke of Yeonga.â
âThatâs right.â
âThe grand duke of the Yan family faced the famous family alone. However, the one who decisively defeated them was my brother. âThere is probably something between you and the grand duke of the Yan family that I donât know about.â
ââ¦.â
âEven the slightest danger is fatal. âAt least for now.â
âIf I do this, will I eventually have no choice but to give up?â
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
âLetâs try to support them. âSince you urged me, the work here is already over.â
It was then.
An urgent voice was heard outside the branch managerâs office.
âBranch manager!â
âWhatâs going on?â
âThey say Lady Yeonhwa has arrived in Hangzhou!â
Mo Yong-wooâs face hardened.
âThat Yeonhwa child?â
âThatâs right. And they say theyâll stop by the daily branch!â
Eganâs cheeks trembled.
ââ¦Branch leader.â
Mo Yong-woo buried his back in the chair.
There was a look of bitterness on his face.
âI think itâs all over.â
That night.
Yan Haozheng and Mo Fei entered Zhejiang.
