#Daegok High School
A fortress on the side of a mountain full of large warehouses. As they entered Daegokgo, an unexpected person greeted the two.
“Haha, who is this? I was going to come see you anyway. And here I am again.”
A broad-bodied man holding a lottery ticket with thick hands. A man with eyes that are curved like a kind dragon.
It was the head of the Geumryongdang clan, Man-geum-su.
I briefly encountered it in Mark.
“How is the lord here… …?”
When Jang Yi-seo asked him while taking a lottery ticket, he answered with a big laugh.
“Haha, I think that’s something you should say yourself. Daegokgo is clearly a place managed by Geumryongdang. Why did you two come here so early in the morning? You didn’t come to see me, did you?”
Man Geum-su also spoke to Jang I-seo, who was younger than him. This was because he was friendly by nature and had great interest in him.
‘Head of the aide. He is truly a strange man. I thought he would fly away like a fallen leaf in the wind… … .’
Man Geum-su was an inevitabilityist who believed that there were no coincidences in the world.
So when I encountered a situation that I couldn’t understand, I really enjoyed figuring out cause and effect.
And in that sense, Jang was a very interesting man in his eyes.
Some say he defeated the old men and Wang Yu, while others say his cleverness created the present Chilsogung Palace.
On the other hand, there were also those who said that he was just a lucky riser.
Moreover, I couldn’t believe it even though I saw him personally defeat the Heavenly Swordsman.
In short, there are many rumors about him, but he has no substance. How could anyone not be interested in him?
“Have you come here perhaps because the Grand Duke instructed you?”
In response to Jang I-seo’s question, Man-geum-su came to his senses and answered heartily.
“Oh! You know very well. Yes, that’s right. Daegokgo isn’t a place that just anyone can open.”
As expected. But it’s hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes.
“Where is Daegokgo?”
“Haha, why did you suddenly come here and ask me this? Please explain the whole story and the reason behind it.”
“The sinners of Doraok are targeting this place now.”
“hmm?!”
Man-geum-su looked around at his subordinates in surprise. However, they all had no idea what was going on.
“Aren’t they at the west gate now?”
“This is Seongdonggyeokseo. I created the situation to open the door to Daegokgo.”
“… … !”
The men carrying luggage and the oxcarts around them began to hesitate and murmur. Then, the Lord of the Golden Dragon Party coldly glanced around and gave a solemn order.
“Stop making a fuss and just get on with what you were doing.”
Time, which had stopped at his command, returns again. However, this is not the time to be leisurely.
“I wanted to send a messenger, but none of them came all the way here, and I was worried about being discovered if I sent them to a nearby village, so I ran without stopping.”
“Umm… … .”
“I heard that the door to Daegokgo is not easy to open for just anyone. If the door is still open, close it and everyone should evacuate.”
Man Geum-su’s crooked eyes straightened out.
Where is this place?
Daegok High School is one of the important sites of our school.
There are hundreds of Geumryongdang warriors guarding this place, and the fortress is like an iron fortress.
That’s not all. The elite party members who came with him may be small in number, but they are all top-notch experts.
Above all, isn’t there the owner himself?
But you told me to run away.
“Aren’t you making fun of Geumryongdang too much… … .”
“The Blood Cult has intervened.”
“Ugh, ugh?!”
The Golden Dragon Lord was so surprised that he let out a cough. Blood Sect? What kind of absurd thing is this all of a sudden?
But Mao turned on his double-edged sword and continued to press him, as if to drive a wedge into his words.
“Hey, master. Do you think we came here to play? Listen carefully. The whole of Cheonsan is empty right now. On the way here, they burned down two villages. This is a bloodless situation!”
“Hmm?!”
There will be bloodshed. Come out. Don’t startle me. Zhang Yishu grabbed Mao’s sleeve and pulled him.
“I’ll get straight to the point. The group coming here right now are the Doraok masters who have regained their power. There are even reports that an extreme demon master is with them. So the best thing to do is to somehow block this place and evacuate before they arrive.”
“That, that devil… …!”
The curved snake eyes of Man-geum-su trembled greatly. If it was an extreme demon, no matter how many there were, they would all be dead. That’s why it was even more surprising.
‘So, you’re saying that Chilgongja and Jang Bojo came all the way here knowing it was so dangerous? To protect Daegokgo?’
Of course, if you only look at the position, it could be true. After all, he was one of the successors who would take responsibility for Cheonsan. However, this is the Cheonmasingyo, a place that does not respect the value of sacrifice.
But why on earth… … .
“First of all, let’s send out only the believers who haven’t learned martial arts.”
When Jang Yiseo spoke again, Man Geumsu swallowed deeply.
“All right.”
He seemed to be giving some orders to his adjutant, then stepped forward and spoke.
“Follow me. I will guide you to Daegokgo.”
Only then did Zhang Yishu and Mao smile in relief and follow.
Eventually, as we reached the innermost part of the fortress, a high cliff and a huge iron gate embedded within it came into view.
But that sight looks very familiar.
“That’s exactly the same as Cheonmajeon!”
It was clear. A huge iron gate with a groove. It was similar to the walls of Cheonmajeon and Cheonmago.
“Haha, I see you noticed. That’s right. This is also a treasure of our school made of iron.”
The raw material of the new water, cloud iron. A heavenly treasure that should not have existed on this land.
Man Geum-su proudly explained as we looked at each other with surprised eyes.
“It is said that the iron is extremely rare and difficult to obtain, and even if it is obtained, each piece has its own unique power and no one can handle it. However, it is said that hundreds of years ago, a descendant of Ou Yezi appeared in our school and created the current divine objects and gates.”
Guyaja. I’ve heard of him. He was a person from the Yue Kingdom a thousand years ago, and is said to be the founder of the night watchman.
His descendants were in our church.
“And that door looks exactly like the Cheonmajeon, but it’s actually the opposite. Instead of opening in response to a bet, it closes when touched. So no one can open this door without a key. Not even the most skilled demon.”
“Is that, is that real?”
“Yes. This has already been confirmed by the Lord of Light.”
So this was it. The reason why the door to Daegokgo couldn’t be opened.
Well then, that was a relief. It means that if you just hide the key, it’s safe.
“Okay. So, whose key is this?”
“There is only one. And I have it.”
“Father, you said you could open it too.”
“Well… … because he is the Supreme Being.”
Man-geum-su raises the corners of his lips in embarrassment. If you understand, you will stick out your tongue.
Doesn’t that mean that even that monstrous door that can swallow up the power of the ultimate demon is useless in front of the Heavenly Demon?
What on earth can’t that guy do?
He shook his head and said.
“Then there’s no problem. Let’s get out of here quickly… … .”
It was then that I felt a sense of bewilderment in Man Geum Soo’s eyes, as if he had let go of everything.
Why.
Soon, countless footsteps echoed behind me. When I looked back, I saw a crowd of monks and believers gathered nearby, as if surrounding me.
“Why are they still here?”
Aren’t they the ones who told us to evacuate? When I asked the question, the Golden Dragon Lord looked at the door with his hands behind his back. Then he spoke in a bitter tone.
“Once the gates of Daegokgo are opened, they will have to wait twelve hours (24 hours) before they regain their strength. And now, five hours (10 hours) have passed.”
What?! My head suddenly turned around.
“What you just said is… … !”
“You said that the sinners of Doraok are coming? If so, there is no place to evacuate to. If we lose this place anyway, everyone will be held responsible. Even if we die, we should be buried here.”
Boom! A bolt from the blue struck. My eyes shook like reeds in shock.
“Then you’re saying we have no choice but to accept it!”
Mao screamed. And Man-Geum-Su took the lottery ticket with his eyes wide open.
“As the head of the household, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the two of you for coming to inform us of the ceremony. Now, you two may go back.”
It’s a curse. A look of liberation. The responsibility is theirs. It’s a message that at least two of them should escape alive.
But the original anxiety becomes reality, and bad news follows bad news.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The majestic sound of drums resonates.
The enemy! The enemies have appeared!
A loud shout came from the distant gate.
Hehehehehe!
Hahahaha!
And the sound of mad laughter that sounded like a choir. Jang Il-seo said with a frown.
“I think it’s too late to go.”
Man Geum-su’s heart sank.
They are. The sinners of Doraok. They have appeared here.
“Adjutant! Take the Seven Princes and Assistant Jang to the basement immediately.”
The situation became chaotic. Man Geum-su changed his kind and relaxed voice and shouted firmly.
“There is a large underground warehouse to the west where we store our liquor. The entrance is hard to find, so they won’t notice it easily.”
“Are you telling me to hide there now?”
“Your Majesty the Seven Princes may not know this, but if they are truly a blood cult, then this is a very dangerous situation. Furthermore, if they are accompanied by a master of the ultimate demon class… … I cannot guarantee their lives. Go quickly. Assistant Jang. Take them with you!”
Man-geum-su shouted urgently. Jang-i-seo looked at Mao with a serious face and asked.
“What will you do? The choice is yours, Mr. Chil-gong-ja.”
“My share?”
“Yes. Either fight and die like a hero. Or hide and die like a cesspool rat.”
“Why are there only so many choices! Is there no way to live?!”
“You came prepared for this anyway.”
“Spit out your curses! I knew this would happen. Things won’t be easy if we fight. Is there a way?”
“Somehow… I have to hold on.”
To be honest, it’s not the worst yet. There’s still something to protect.
Mao shouted nervously in the gloomy silence.
“Hey, adjutant!”
“Yes? Yes!”
“You said the underground warehouse was spacious. Then take the believers here right away.”
“Yes? Ha, but… … .”
The adjutant secretly looked at the absent-minded master’s face. Mao became furious and said.
“Don’t you know who’s higher? What are you doing! Don’t move quickly.”
“Yes, yes!”
The adjutant nodded urgently and led the believers. The believers bowed their heads in gratitude, shedding tears.
Mao waved his hand, telling them to go quickly.
“Ugh… … .”
And Man-geum-su opened his mouth wide at the situation. Wasn’t Chil-gong-ja a loser?
What are you doing now? Are you pretending to be a political party? Or is it just childish pride?
I don’t know.
But from my perspective as a senior, this was absolutely not the right choice.
Especially Jang Seo who looks at this with joy!
“Director Jang. You have just made a very big mistake.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re saying that the Seven Princes could die!”
That could be the case. I admit it. One.
“A person who turns away from the believers can never become the leader of our church.”
“… … !”
“So, your Majesty, please don’t give up.”
What is this ridiculous nonsense? It is the empty words of children. And it is a foolish lie that is worth risking one’s life for.
Hanam Man-geum was overcome by an indescribable feeling.
My heart was pounding like crazy, and my throat suddenly started to itch even though I wasn’t even feeling well.
And it didn’t take long to realize why.
taste.
As a man, I felt admiration for those two men who were willing to risk their lives for the believers, not just in words.
A master who does not turn his back on his followers.
How obvious and yet heartbreaking this statement is.
As someone who has been worn down by the years, it was something that was difficult to accept.
That’s why my heart ached even more.
“Okay. Now the believers will be safe. Jang Seo! What should we do now?”
How can the Seven Princes smile so brightly?
also.
“What are you asking? We have to stop it.”
What on earth makes Director Jang so confident?
A boulder fell on Man Geum-su’s chest.
I was embarrassed. I was so embarrassed that I hung my head.
Doubt and distrust. And anticipation and hope.
Soon I raised my head, grabbed the lottery ticket, and shouted as my heart told me to.
“New King of the Golden Dragons, Man-geum-su! I am truly impressed by you two! I will protect this place with my life! Please give me the order!”
