Episode 7
next day.
When I opened my eyes, a strangely unpleasant scent hit my nose.
What was this smell?
‘Scent of roses?’
As I rolled my half-open eyes here and there, I was able to quickly discover the source of the scent.
There was a vase on the table next to the bed, and there was a bright red rose in it.
“With good sense.”
Luan Badniker and the scent of roses. There are degrees of things that don’t suit you.
Of course there is a reason.
That’s because one of Badniker’s symbols is the rose.
In fact, the walls of the main residence are covered with rose vines.
“Umm… … .”
I woke up shakily from the bed.
It was quite creepy when I separated from the blanket. Was this late fall or early winter? I don’t remember very well.
It is still dark in the room.
Since I feel less tired, I guess I didn’t sleep all day.
“… “Is it still dawn?”
It feels exactly like that.
When you want to sleep a little longer, but your body wakes up early out of habit.
A state in which fatigue remains, but it is even more difficult to sleep.
I tried to force myself to sleep more like this, but it was just a waste of time, so I got out of bed.
“hmm.”
Then I screamed from my toes to the tip of my head.
Do you have muscle pain?
I think it was because I moved too hard yesterday.
It really is a body that makes you sigh.
Still, it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t bear it, so I hurriedly headed in front of the mirror.
It was a historic moment where I faced myself for the first time since coming to the past… … .
Inside the mirror, an anchovy was standing and looking at me.
Of course it was me.
“It’s more serious than you think?”
He already looks frail because he has platinum blonde hair and white skin, but even his skin and bones are tender, so there are no sick people.
I think they did a great job of holding a 100-day eclipse with such a skinny little brat.
First of all, what should I do with this body? It is not an easy problem in many ways.
Basically, I don’t overeat and I’m born with a constitution that doesn’t allow me to gain weight easily.
On top of that, they are extremely picky about their taste buds.
This is because he knew how to imitate a gourmet food and was very sensitive to the smell and texture of raw materials.
Still, I could never give up eating, so I worked hard to cook even right after my bones were broken after being beaten by my teacher all day.
A keen sense of taste can be one of the noble virtues in an aristocratic society… … .
When I think about the path I have to take in the future, it is nothing but an obstacle.
I guess it’s a talent that found the wrong owner.
“hungry.”
When I thought about food, my stomach suddenly churned.
It’s natural since I couldn’t eat anything after all that mess last night.
Anyway, after a long time, I returned to my hometown and was able to eat hometown food.
Should we at least go to a restaurant?
It’s still early, but mornings in the kitchen usually start early.
If you go, I’ll give you something.
I was planning to leave the room to satisfy my hunger and take a look around the mansion for the first time in a while.
Squeak.
“omg… … .”
There was someone standing in front of the door.
The face somehow looks familiar.
Probably one of the maids who was in the room when I woke up yesterday.
He looked exactly like a timid squirrel, and I remember being the most nervous when Keian showed up yesterday.
“Yes, master. “Did you cough?”
“you?”
“This is Lisa.”
A maid named Lisa bowed her head. I nodded roughly.
“Yes, Lisa. “What’s going on at this hour?”
“Well, I came to check on your condition. When I looked with the naked eye last night, I couldn’t find any abnormal signs… “Are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine except that I’m hungry. “Speaking of which, can you bring me something to eat?”
“Ah yes. “I will prepare breakfast in a moment.”
“really. But what about your mother?”
Then Lisa spoke with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.
“You went to your home three weeks ago.”
“… … .”
When the collector came, I wondered why he couldn’t see me, and it was true.
Now that I think about it, even Arjan wouldn’t have been able to beat me up even though I had a mother.
“okay. “Go now.”
“yes.”
Liza bowed her head and entered the room… … .
We exchanged flowers in vases.
“Hey, that rose… … .”
“yes?”
“… no. “Do what you’re doing.”
“yes.”
* * *
After a while, Lisa brought a simple breakfast.
It was extremely tasteless, as if my appetite hadn’t returned yet.
I ate just enough to fill my stomach and then washed my body. This was because the body had a bad smell due to how much medicinal herbs had been applied.
By the time I was washing up and unwinding my sweltering body, the sun had fully dawned.
I felt better as the sun drove away the darkness and chill of the mansion.
Is it because of the martial arts I learned?
Or is it human nature like that?
I liked the day much better than the night.
“Master, did you cough?”
“Are you experiencing any inconvenience? … .”
It would have been much better if these guys hadn’t attacked.
I glared at the people who used the mansion with harsh eyes.
I can still clearly see the back of Keian running away when he attacked.
Actually, I have no intention of criticizing that alone. My personality at this time must have been so damn good.
But if you’re going to do that, at least be consistent.
Every time they run away, pretending not to see them, when the collector leaves, they come rushing in again, saying things they don’t even mean to say.
Anyway, since they had committed a crime, they just had to beat them up and kick them out.
I waited until these fake worries were over before speaking.
“I understand, so just leave now. “I’m going to rest some more.”
“yes. “By the way, master.”
“why.”
“What happened to the collection?”
“You’ll know it when you see it.”
Even when I wave my arms and show them, they just blink their eyes.
“The collection was not carried out.”
“yes?”
“I tried to soothe him with words and he went.”
“Well, that can’t be…” … .”
“That’s it, get out now. “When you say something nice.”
It looked like he wanted to ask more, but he forced it out.
I didn’t forget to leave a word before closing the door.
“No one should come in for the time being. “Don’t even knock.”
“yes? Ah, I understand-.”
bang. After closing the door, the room finally became quiet.
I enjoyed the silence for a moment and then opened the window wide.
“It’s the middle of winter, but the weather is nice.”
The sun is strong but the wind is cold.
I like it.
This is because the right amount of cold awakens the tired mind.
I sat down in front of the sunny window with a smile on my face.
The first time I had alone since coming back to the past.
I straightened my back and sat cross-legged.
closing eyes… … .
I came to the past and started doing what I should have done first.
Baek No-kwang’s new skill, the best in the world.
This is the luck of the greatest hero of all time.
* * *
The best practice of all time is the practice of mind.
To put it in terms of a concept that exists in this world, it is the method of refinement.
The fact that the sun is high in the sky means that it is the best time to fly the best ball of all time.
The best practice of the past and present is based on the five elements, and according to this method of thinking, most humans can be classified into five attributes.
They are wood, fire, earth, iron, and water, respectively. … .
I don’t know if it was the Master’s intention or just a coincidence, but each of the five disciples he had had different attributes.
The attribute I had was fire, but my teacher told me to become something big enough to swallow the sun, as it was too shapeless to use a simple match flame as my point of focus.
anyway.
As with all mental techniques, the surrounding environmental factors are more important when practicing Gogeumjeilgong.
This means that simply being filled with the energy of nature is not enough, and you must find a place that suits your attributes.
To put it simply, if wood is an attribute, the efficiency will be much better if you transport it in a forest, or something like that.
In my case, it’s better to focus during the day. It is especially effective when the sun is high in the sky.
In fact, the optimal location is a land mass with strong sunlight, a volcanic area, or, although extreme, a place where fires have occurred in the past.
‘It’s hard to find my way back now.’
I sat on the floor cross-legged and concentrated for a few minutes.
I immediately frowned and opened my eyes.
“… and.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
You can tell just by looking in the mirror that my body at this time is of poor quality, but when I look at the substance, it is even more impressive.
Even a six-year-old child would be healthier than this.
Although I don’t have bad natural muscles.
Perhaps because he had been living a debauched life for a long time and had recently been beaten up, he was no different from a sick person on the verge of death.
‘Is it going to be a month?’
With a body this size, it would likely take at least half a year to make it usable.
This is because Gogeum First Gong is a martial art with a particularly high proportion of external skills among martial arts.
‘I need to save my sleeping time… … .’
Focus your attention on the sunlight shining through the cool breeze.
Heat felt through the fabric.
This heat will be my starting point.
The fire attribute of the old and gold first gong – In short, it is the starting point of the fire first gong.
First, the heat absorbed through the skin must be converted into fire energy inside the body and then utilized.
“… … .”
A flame that I can control at will.
I sat still for a long time to get that fingernail-sized flame.
If that were the case, all the firearms I had accumulated would disappear.
I thought of this work as similar to keeping a match lit in the face of the howling north wind and cold snow.
This means that although it is very difficult, it is not impossible.
‘… … .’
How much time has passed?
Before I knew it, my whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and when I felt sweat dripping from my chin… … .
Hwareuk-.
A weak fire broke out in Danjeon.
Of course, that’s not actually the case; it just means that the ability to hold a firearm has finally been developed.
“Whoa… … .”
I sighed deeply as a means of resting.
Even a simple exhalation carried heat like a hot wind, and this was proof that he had successfully entered the Flame Flame.
It’s a little easier from here.
I raised my body, being careful not to extinguish the burning flames. At the same time, the larger firearm was expanded to cover the entire body.
Waste accumulated in the numerous blood vessels and internal organs in the body.
I easily burned the first waste I encountered with flames, then opened my mouth slightly.
Pushy… … .
A little bit of black smoke came out of his mouth.
The bad smell made me feel uncomfortable, but I couldn’t help it because it was a process that had to go through.
It was also much better than other mental methods. This is because waste matter collected during transport is usually filtered out through the pores of the body.
Then what will it be like?
A foul-smelling foul-smelling liquid gurgled from not only my mouth but also the pores of my entire body… … .
‘Wow… … .’
I got upset and stopped thinking about it.
In fact, among all the ancient and modern best practices, Chloride First Practice was the best at removing waste from the body.
Just burn it and that’s it.
Of course, lack of skill can cause major damage to blood vessels or organs… There is no way I would make such a beginner mistake now.
‘It’s more fun than I thought.’
I thought the process of washing dishes would be boring, but it was surprisingly fun.
Maybe it’s because the difficulty level of the work is much easier than when I first started working at Cheonhwa Jeilgong?
At first, it moved a bit, but after I got used to it, the speed was literally on fire.
‘That’s why it’s good to learn martial arts at a young age.’
I once again realized how fortunate I had been.
A mature mind resides in an immature body.
With this mature mind, I can accurately identify the problems and weaknesses of my body… … .
No matter how excellent a teacher is, such a sharp point of view would be impossible.
In the end, I am the one who can understand myself most accurately.
‘The speed of building up your skills will be several times faster than before.’
The purity of the inner strength accumulated in this way will also be much more pure.
It was clear that if I regained the same level of inactivity I had during my time in Yeongsan with this body right away, I would become much stronger than I was then.
Now I understand a little about Master’s intention in sending me to the past.
If you can become the first hero of Chloride and complete the 100th eclipse with a body that has been built up step by step from the basics, it will be worth a try to be able to match the great type.
Of course, this does not mean that other questions have been resolved.
Why was the Grand Master excommunicated, and why did the Master not take care of it himself?
Besides, why did you choose me out of the four remaining disciples?
What does sending me to the past have to do with it?
‘… ‘It’s not something to think about now.’
I put aside the questions that arose simultaneously.
The answer to all these problems must be in the hands of the Master or the Grand Master, but at my level right now, there is no point in knowing the truth.
It’s a fairly simple principle, but it’s because my body’s power is insignificant right now.
‘First, let’s become stronger.’
I concentrated on my luck, recalling what my teacher had said out of habit.
* * *
From then on, I mostly stayed in my room and worked hard to improve the luck of the first ball of fire.
I ate the disgustingly tasteless food and put all my energy into cleaning the dishes of my body.
It did require some patience.
Even though I escaped from Yeongsan and returned to my hometown, I was confined to my room, so it was natural for me to feel itchy.
Still, you cannot skip this process.
Anyway, after a week like that, my poor body shape improved to some extent.
Of course, improvements are just improvements, and nothing fundamentally has changed much.
First of all, I know what the biggest problem is in the current situation.
There is too little internal strength.
Of course, since the object of comparison is the power cut from 10 years ago, there are times when I feel more empty, but even taking that into account, what I have written is still a small amount.
“It would be perfect to take at least one elixir.”
Even when I say this, I laugh.
The elixir is not a weed commonly found on the streets… … .
In particular, this was a time when competition between [Great Families] was fierce, so it was difficult to obtain even relatively low-quality elixirs.
“… Should I still look for it?”
Even if you get one at the lowest level, it will be a great help.
I was planning on going out today anyway.
If you explore the area outside the mansion or search the night market in a nearby city, wouldn’t you be lucky enough to find something like a low-level elixir?
Because my eyes are pretty good.
“Good.”
I opened the door with excitement.
And then you have to walk lightly through the hallway and confidently go out the front door of the mansion.
“Hello, master.”
I did it.
A group of knights dressed in red armor blocked me.
I looked at the knights with a puzzled look. First of all, they were not the knights of this mansion.
It’s not because I remember their faces, but because I’ve seen that distinctive red armor.
“My name is Osel of the [Knights of the Fang].”
Fang Knights.
A group of knights belonging to the Badniker family, directly under the Iron Blood Prince.
“There was an order from the head of the family to bring you to the main house.”
They suddenly appeared.
