Chapter 63

Episode 63. Operation begins (3)“Whew.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face looked very refreshed.

Although I was sweating profusely and breathing became rough, it was a rewarding workout.

If the previous training was somewhat inertial, the training after leaving the bamboo forest was a series of joys every day.

There is no explosive growth, but the change is clearly felt, and the body adapts to the change at an increasingly rapid rate. I purely enjoyed martial arts itself.

He recalled Xiliang’s words.

– Change means production. Whether you grow or regress has meaning in itself.

Why worry about such things when believing in yourself to change and moving forward without hesitation is not enough?

– Believe in yourself. Don’t be afraid and run while you’re worrying. It is not too late to worry about that now when you have reached your limit.

It was very timely advice.

After that, Ma Dong-pil didn’t worry about anything. I was fascinated by just swinging the sword again and again, and felt rewarded when my body was so tired that it could no longer move.

As I plunge into the sea of martial arts, I feel that my achievements are getting faster.

But Ma Dong-pil passed off even that achievement as if it was nothing special. I just enjoyed it again and again, just like when I first learned martial arts.

Is it thanks to that? In just a few days, Ma Dong-pil’s martial arts skills were entering a new level.

“I guess I’ll have to finish it now.”

After completing his training, Ma Dong-pil sat cross-legged. The goal is to restore the body with a healthy breakfast.

Then, a conversation with Seoryang suddenly came to mind.

– Now that this and that has been roughly finished, let’s go back to our respective organizations. Daeju above and especially Dongpil were very attached to me.

– …yes?

– Are you just protecting the law? It’s not an ordinary crew, it’s three crew members each. I have to return to the field.

Ma Dong-pil nodded.

That is correct. I got so used to living with Confucius that I almost neglected my main job.

‘Come to your senses.’

Let us fulfill our duties as the leader of the defense court. I will see you again, Confucius.

That was when the operation was nearing its end.

“Captain!”

“What’s going on?”

“Chief Il called you.”

“I get it. “Let’s go soon.”

Ma Dong-pil was puzzled. Three days later, I was selected for a mission to protect the Demon Commander, so I thought I would never be called again, but what happened?

A moment later, he entered Lee Gun-seong’s office.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, Captain Il. “Did you call me?”

“okay.”

Lee Kun-seong’s face looked very tired. Seeing him working until late at night made me think that he must be diligent in leading the work.

“I’m busy, so let me keep my business brief. “There will be an escort for the commander of the Demon Army three days later.”

“yes.”

“It’s canceled.”

“Suddenly?”

“To be exact, I was supposed to go to escort the Demon Commander.”

“Director Il directly?”

“That’s right. “Instead, you have something to do with your group.”

“It’s a change of mission. “What kind of mission is this?”

Gunseong Lee held out a document.

“Did you know that Hwanheewon sends its magicians to transport valuables once every three months?”

“yes.”

“This month happens to be that month.”

“Are you really going to be escorted by transport demons?”

“That’s right. As the Pasun Festival approaches, the front yard of our school has become quite noisy. “It may be a big deal, but the situation is like this, so we can’t just let them go.”

“Ah…”

“But it’s not a good idea to send you to escort the demon commander and leave me to guard the transport demons. “The higher-ups probably won’t look at it favorably.”

“Of course.”

“So I want you to go. To celebrate your return, think of it as a warm-up. “How is it?”

Ma Dong-pil lowered his head.

“If you entrust me with any mission, I will successfully complete it.”

Lee Gun-seong smiled as if he was trustworthy.

“Please do me a favor.”

“Oh, but when does it start?”

“It will be in 15 days. Since Captain Lee and I are out, you will take care of the guards in the meantime. “This leader will return two days before your mission begins.”

“All right.”

“All the important details are written down in the documents. Be aware of it and burn it.”

“yes.”

“Just go and rest.”

Ma Dong-pil bowed silently and left the office.

He went back to his residence, looked at the documents, and sighed softly.

“Relax… It’s not bad, though.”

Escorts the transport horsemen. This was also an important mission.

However, I wanted to take this opportunity to serve as the commander’s escort.

‘There is no choice. ‘Let’s not discriminate in missions.’

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-

worth of Seo-ryang’s face as he looked at the woman who was lying as if dead and was just out of breath.

“Is this him?”

“yes.”

A look of sadness appeared on So Yeon-sim’s face as she looked down at the woman.

Although she is called a fox who is good at politics, she is also a human being. I couldn’t help but feel distraught as the person I loved so much that I chose him as my successor was lying in pain.

“It’s called Juhwa (朱花). He is a child who is as good at work as he is at martial arts. “When I joined the church, I had a reputation as a genius.”

“hmm.”

“He is in charge of one division within the National Assembly, but he also serves as the governor without anyone knowing.”

“Commissioner?!”

“yes. Even to my successor, I don’t easily hand over work if I don’t have the ability right away.

“I didn’t entrust him with learning the job, but I entrusted him with being the general manager because there is actually no one as capable as this child.”

Soyeonsim sighed.

“After this child got to this point, Hwanheewon almost became paralyzed. “There was a lot of work he was responsible for, and he handled it very well.”

Seoliang couldn’t help but be impressed.

‘Is this really amazing?’

At first glance, it appears to be of the same age as your own. If you are working as a general manager of a large organization like Hwanheewon at such a young age, you are not an ordinary genius.

Even though it was only Yosang-gyeol, he was able to decipher Muae-gong in a few days and use it enough to show improvement.

“If you are this talented, isn’t it worth the attention of the religious leader?”

“I’m also amazed. “Why didn’t the religious leader take this child in as a disciple?”

Those words sounded like it would be difficult to teach someone about coinage, even with his own vessel.

Xi Liang rolled up his sleeves.

“Let’s look at the situation first.”

He took the pulse of the coin.

I heard that it’s been quite a while since I’ve been in the habit of speaking. Is that why? My wrist was so thin that I could only touch the bones.

‘But the strong pulsation felt in the pulse…’

Seoryang operates the Amyeongjin Magic Gong with his eyes closed.

After a while.

Ugh.

The red energy flowing from Seoliang’s fingertips surrounded Juhwa’s entire body.

Soyeonsim was startled.

‘It’s a great Magi.’

Although it is used in a light concentration, the quality of the magic energy itself is very excellent.

It was so powerful that it gave me goosebumps for an instant. No matter which demon you encounter during the civil war, it is difficult to find someone with demonic energy as pure as this.

‘As expected… there was a reason why he overpowered the boatman.’

It was also rumored that Hong Wei-mun’s martial arts skills were also amazing. My personal guess was that he was at least one or two levels higher than Gwangma Daeju or Jinma Daeju.

If he could easily overpower Hong Wei-moon, Seo-ryang’s skills would be worthy of being called a peak expert.

There was a strange light in So Yeonsim’s eyes.

‘How can they do that?’

I am not only amazed by the magic power of Seoryang that goes beyond imagination, but I also feel a sense of heterogeneity. Whatever it was, it wasn’t a strength I could have gained at that age.

After a while.

“So Wonju.”

“Please speak, Confucius.”

“Jihwa… no, I’ll just call him Lord Chancellor.”

“yes.”

“What is the magic technique that Governor Zhou learned?”

“It’s the Moon Eum Magic Gong.”

“He from the Teenage Magic Duke?”

“That’s right.”

Woleummagong was considered one of the most eumgong (陰功) techniques among magical arts. Unlike other magic crafts, it was a high-level magic craft that was impossible to even enter without talent.

‘no wonder.’

In that respect, it resembles the new techniques of the political faction. I don’t know the details, but there may be some similarities.

‘He may be talented, but it would have been a great help in operating Muae Gong more easily.’

Xiliang let go of the pulse.

“Then it’s even weirder.”

“yes?” Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I don’t know much about Woleummagong, but I heard through rumors that it is very safe.”

The risk of coinage is overwhelmingly higher in magic arts than in the new arts of the righteous faction.

But that is only limited to low-level magic attacks. The higher the level of magic, the greater the safety. Of course, the talent of the trainee is just as important.

However, no matter how safe the magic technique is, it cannot guarantee the same level of safety as the magic technique of the magic art sect.

Unusually, Woleum Magic Ball was a magic technique that was safe enough to be compared to Shin Ball.

It only radiated magical energy, but if you look at the initiation process, it was no different from the magic of Suncheon.

“But I don’t know why my negative energy has collapsed like this. “Even if I were determined to ruin it, my body wouldn’t be ruined this much.”

“The Blood Honkak members said that it was most likely due to unreasonable cooperation. Looking at the scars near the cerebral hemorrhage, I guessed that he was in the process of accepting enlightenment.”

“I see.”

Seo-ryang, who was deep in thought, quickly nodded.

“Let’s put off worrying for now and start with treatment.”

“Is there anything I can prepare for you?”

“doesn’t exist. “I came here to maximize the effectiveness of Muae Gong anyway, so why bother… Ah!”

Seoliang snapped his fingers.

“Please get me some Takcho from the Blood Horn Pavilion.”

“If you say Jetakcho, do you mean the herb that revives the energy?”

“Do you know?”

“Yes, a little.”

“I can’t use it right now, but once my stamina has recovered to a certain extent, I will revive my immune function with Zetakcho.”

“…Is that possible?”

If it doesn’t work out, the only thing you can do is die, you old lady?

However, Seo-ryang did not bother to say those words out loud. I couldn’t deal a fatal blow to someone who was already so worried.

“Treatment begins.”

Xiliang’s treatment was simple.

He holds the pulse of the coin and uses Muae Gong. Even though his body was devastated, it was not difficult to synchronize with the Muai energy as there were traces of Muae Gong.

And when Muaegi is synchronized, it drives the enlightenment of Western Liang and circulates it endlessly.

Five days later.

“That’s amazing.”

“Yes?”

“Most of the functions of the five organs and six organs have returned to normal. How can this be….”

“I worked hard. “I couldn’t sleep at all.”

“But Confucius. The coin has not woken up once for five days…”

“When consciousness awakens and becomes active, it needs to consume a lot of energy. However, without consciousness, the body only focuses on biological activities.

“There is no need to worry as we are feeding water and porridge into the stomach through a irrigation tube.”

“Ah yes.”

“Now I guess I’ll have to use Jetakcho.”

The method of using Jetakcho was simple. Powder the dried vinegar, mix it with water, and pour it into the wash pipe. Juhwa’s body, which naturally absorbed Jetakcho, responded to the medicinal power.

At that moment, Xi Liang began tuning his true energy.

Rumbling.

Dark red blood flowed from Juhwa’s nose and mouth. The toxins lurking throughout the body are released through the blood.

Ugh! Ugh!

Sweat formed on Seo-ryang’s forehead.

So Yeon-sim’s face was filled with wonder as she watched it from the side.

‘It’s awesome!’

It is truly a magical tuning. If the operation of true energy is not extremely delicate, it is impossible to forcibly mix it with blood and extract it.

‘Really, the more I look at it….’

At first, I was delighted with Juhwa’s quick recovery, but as time passed, I became more and more impressed with Seoliang’s abilities.

More than ten days passed like that.

One day before the full moon that Seo-ryang had promised.

“…Hmm.”

The fluttering eyelids slowly rose.

Juhwa finally woke up.
