But somehow it felt cheap. Episode 113

Beast Gate.

He sneaked into my house like a thief.

As I went down to the basement, I saw the back of Umochi, who was checking on the child’s condition.

asked from behind his back.

“How is it?”

Umochi answered with a start.

“Woo-ssi, this is surprising. Why is Dam-myeong, who is as big as a house, so secretive?”

I didn’t say it was because I was a former killer.

“You’re dull. By the way, you don’t seem to have any injuries, but the flow of energy doesn’t seem very good.”

Maeng Deung-ho’s young daughter still had not opened her eyes.

Maybe they fed him something like a sleeping pill.

Although his breathing is a bit shallow, he doesn’t look in danger.

“Hmm. That’s right. I’ve been locked in a small space for too long. But who am I? Am I Umochi, the sixth son of Dokgok, who can make even the dead stand up?”

Well, I don’t think Dokgok is a place that saves people.

Anyway, this guy Umochi may be a bit boastful, but his skills are real.

“Just wait and see. In a month, you’ll be running around the garden happily with Tofu.”

At that moment, Nok Seung-seo and Bang Yak-ran opened the door and came in.

“Oh, Dam-myeong, you’re here already? I just got here.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

From here, it takes a full day to get to Heungmunsan Mountain, where Cheonhwajang was located.

That too, when calculated at my and Nok Seung Seo’s speeds.

Running alone and running with a child in your arms are two completely different things.

He must have run very carefully, lest he shake.

Perhaps that was why Nok Seung-seo’s eyes, which rarely got tired, were wide open.

“What kind of hardship do I have? It’s been hard for me to hold this child in my arms all day. But I’m worried because he hasn’t opened his eyes yet.”

“Ah! That’s because those bastards fed him sleeping pills. Those crazy bastards, how much did they feed him… … .”

“Is that okay then?”

Bang Yak-ran’s expression is also full of worry.

She is the type of person who thinks of peeling off the shell of a bad guy when she sees one, but she is kind and gentle at heart.

“Ah, it’s not that much for Lady Bang to worry about. I’ll wake up soon after the medicine wears off. Then I can take the tonic that Umochi has prepared with a special secret recipe. Haha.”

“Oh, a secret recipe for a tonic. It’s a good thing Woo Daehyeop is with our Beast Gate.”

Umochi smiled brightly at Bangyakran’s words.

“Yakran, it seems you still don’t know what kind of medicine this guy used to make and sell. What was the name of the medicine you used to make with Dokgok’s secret recipe? Even if you take it in the early evening, it lasts until dawn… … .”

“Dammyung!”

Umochi called my name urgently and made eye contact with me.

A longing look.

Why did you make such a drug that would make you feel ashamed?

Of course, there were some people who really needed it.

“By the way, what are those things you’re carrying around?”

“Oh, I was cleaning up after the guys and looking around Cheonhwa-jang. I happened to find a secret safe in the basement.”

“Oh! The secret safe is great.”

Umochi was the first to run and start checking the items.

“Ah, no, what is this? Oh my… … Dam-myeong, you raided the battlefield instead of the villa? How can you have so much money… … .”

Umochi’s hands holding the receipt were trembling.

“And these precious elixirs too… … .”

He left Umochi, who was sitting on the floor and searching through things, and spoke to Nok Seung-seo and Bang Yak-ran.

“I have somewhere to go for a bit.”

“No, I just got back. Where are you going? You must have been tired from running all day.”

“No matter how hard it is, can anything be as hard as a father worrying about his daughter’s well-being? It won’t take long.”

A day must have felt like a year.

There will be eyes watching from Hwanmilu, so it’s still too early to let you meet your daughter, but you should still let her know the news.

As he was about to go out, he added his words to Nok Seung-seo.

“Oh, I forgot something important.”

“Tell me.”

“Umochi, keep a close eye on that guy. He might sneak a peek.”

Of course, it’s not that I don’t trust Umochi.

A beggar who doesn’t trust human greed.

There is also a past record.

* * *

Maeng Deung-ho is staying in a small inn a little away from the Beast Gate.

They kept saying that they were going to have a fight in a month, so we should at least pretend to wait for now.

Fortunately, that bastard Ma Hyo-won didn’t look suspicious.

‘But what if a month goes by like this? There’s not much time left.’

I have no intention of killing that guy named Dam-myeong to save my daughter.

I can’t kill you though.

But that doesn’t mean I can give up on my daughter.

Guest house, small room on this floor.

It was the first day of the new moon, so there was only pitch-black darkness outside the tiny window.

I wonder if Wolhwa, who is only ten years old now, is looking at that moon?

Stuck in an unknown place, looking for this poor father.

‘If anything happens to Wolhwa… … .’

The one who uses Wolhwa as a puppet is Hwanmiluju Ma Jeongso, but the one who kidnapped her daughter in the first place was Ma Hyowon, Roju’s half-brother.

“I’ll throw my life away and kill those bastards. They’re worse than animals. I’ll skin them alive. I’ll tear out their hearts and chew them up. And then I’ll die with them… .”

At that moment, a familiar voice was heard from the dark corner of the room.

“What if you think about death first? If you live, won’t you be able to take revenge and see your beautiful daughter again?”

It was a nickname.

I didn’t feel any movement, so how did this man come in here?

But that’s not what we should be wondering about now.

“Oh, what happened?”

He asked in a trembling voice.

It’s not that I didn’t believe the man who said he would definitely find you and bring you back.

How could I, a former warrior of the Beast Palace, doubt the words of one who has received the Dragon’s Seal?

However, this is a situation that Huan Miluju has planned and hidden.

Haven’t you tried to find it somehow all this time?

Even if you somehow find them, it won’t be easy to get them out safely.

“I found him. And I brought him.”

“ah…….”

Hot tears flowed from Maeng Deung-ho’s eyes.

Only the muffled sobbing of a man as rough as a wild bear flowed through the pitch-black darkness.

“Fortunately, there’s no injury. She’s a little bit out of shape, but she’ll probably shake it off and get back on her feet soon. She’s a very pretty girl.”

“… … That’s right. She’s the prettiest child in the world, just like her mother. She smiles like the bright moon.”

“You will see that smile soon. I want to hold you in my arms right away, but you will have to wait a little longer.”

There is no way I wouldn’t understand what Dammyeong is saying.

This man is now thinking of completely destroying Hwanmilu.

“It doesn’t matter as long as the child returns safely. Even if I can never see him again… … .”

“Haha. What are you talking about? A child needs a father. Anyway, it won’t take too long. Even if you miss him, just bear with it for a little longer. We’ll take good care of him. Well, that’s it… … .”

Maeng Deung-ho opened his mouth again as Dam-myeong tried to stand up from his seat.

“I… … . I’ve thought a lot while I’ve been here. About the mistakes I’ve made, and if Wolhwa comes back, how I, Maeng Deung-ho, should live from now on.”

His voice was calm.

“Although I am now living as a ronin in the Central Plains, I was once an honorable warrior of the Beast Palace.”

“It’s still good enough.”

“No. I have already made two mistakes. Leaving Namcheon Damdong and trying to kill you, Dammyeong. Now, I will correct those mistakes.”

Maeng Deung-ho quietly got up from his seat and knelt before Dam-myeong.

“Now, the rest of my life, Maeng Deung-ho, belongs to you, Dam-myeong. Please give me another chance to become an honorable warrior of the Beast Palace.”

The darkness was silent.

After a long time he answered.

“My name is… … .”

Meng Deung-ho’s hands were sweaty as he waited for his answer.

Will we be given another chance to correct our wrong choices?

“I will be the king of the whole world!”

A warrior from the South will rule the entire world… … .

Maeng Deung-ho’s heart started beating like crazy.

“Isn’t this a difficult path? It’s something no one has ever accomplished.”

There were many who had the greed to take over the world.

There were those who mastered the greatest martial arts of all time, and there were those who dyed the Central Plains in blood.

Some people tried to gain prestige, while others tried to buy it with money.

But no one has ever achieved this.

A man named Dam-myeong is keeping that dream in his mouth.

He is a warrior from the Southern Manchu Palace, not the Central Plains.

But somehow it felt like it might be possible.

“It will be a difficult and arduous path. If you join me along the way, it will be of great help.”

I was moved.

It was like going back to that time again.

Back to my younger days when I was an honorable warrior of the Beast Palace.

Another tear flowed from Maeng Deung-ho’s eyes.

* * *

In Cheonhwajang’s secret safe there was a voucher worth a hundred thousand nyang of gold.

That too, as a token of the victory at Man-geum-jang, the greatest battlefield in the Central Plains.

“I probably won’t be able to use it all up even if I die. How about we all wash our faces with gold powder, retire, and spend the rest of our lives enjoying ourselves?”

Umochi was excited as if it was his money.

“The family here will grow, so there will be many places where money will go. So don’t even think about touching it.”

“No, what on earth do you think of me, Umochi?”

“Nok Seung-seo said that he got caught trying to steal a voucher worth 100 nyang.”

“Ah, ah. Did you hear that story already? That’s why I was thinking of checking if this receipt was real. Are you doubting me now? I’m Umochi from Dokgok.”

How can a guy caught at a crime scene be this shameless?

“What about elixirs? Is there anything useful?”

“Is it worth it? Haa, I think that bastard Hwanmiluju must have been a collector of elixirs. He was very frugal, collecting only rare natural elixirs. There were twelve roots of Hyeonginseolsam, three roots of dried Neunglayeongsucho, and what else… … .”

“Good. Keep it safe.”

As the number of Beastmen increases, more elixirs will be needed.

Right now, I need more strength than elixir.

The remaining dragon powers that have not yet been obtained.

“No, you need to listen to my story more. You’ve also collected precious poisons. From the precious blood poison to the two-headed blood poison that can only be caught in Myogang… … These should easily be enough to poison a saint. You crazy bastard. You should put all of this in that bastard’s mouth.”

Umochi was excited and talking when my major came up, but my interests were elsewhere.

A small book that was kept together in the secret safe of the Hwanmiluju.

Judging from the fact that it was carefully wrapped in leather and kept in the innermost place, it is clearly an important item.

But inside was a blank sheet of paper.

Well, there’s definitely something… … .

From my experience as a former assassin, this book is written in a special way.

The letters are not normally visible, but they can be revealed through a special path.

It is an important item that Huan Miluju keeps in his secret safe.

It was written in a way that other people couldn’t read it in the first place.

It’s definitely something related to Eunrim… … .

I guess I’ll have to go to Cheon-i-bang again.

If we can figure out what’s written in this book, we might be able to figure out why Eunrim is moving now.

And you know what?
