Episode 26
“therefore??… ”
Gong Yacheong looked at me with strange eyes.
“It must have been Confucius Jin Tae-gyeong.”
Eventually, this moment had to come.
I smiled awkwardly at Hyuk Moo-jin, who passed out for the third time.
“yes. I am that Jin Tae-gyeong.”
The ears of the patrolmen who were preparing for camp perked up. Now we are on our way back to the family.
From the hut where the battle took place, we rode without stopping for more than five hours. Gong Ya-cheong, who had been silent all the way, now opened his mouth for the first time.
‘Even if it wasn’t for that bastard.’
I glared at Hyuk Moo-jin, who was being dragged along by the quick-witted patrol. I’ll hit you one more time and let you go.
Gong Yacheong said to me, who was sorry.
“I have heard the rumors of Confucius.”
“..you see.”
“Even a three-year-old would know Confucius. Probably the best celebrity in the family.”
At this point, I wonder if it would be quicker to find someone I don’t know.
“By nature he is lazy and arrogant.
Falling in love and not learning martial arts… … However, rumors about Kang-ho are unbelievable. The inaction that Confucius showed today was truly amazing.”
Kangho Ilbo, a collection of rumors about Kangho. If there is such a thing, I want to subscribe right away. It’s pretty credible, yes.
‘More… …
Do you not know about this person?
No matter what tricks the porthole checkpoints have made, I am at the center of all these cases.
It is an obvious fact that there are many sacrifices along the way.
It’s no wonder that Gong Yaqing and Xiaoqian hold grudges against me. That’s why I hid my name.
‘It’s fortunate if you don’t know.’
He is being chased by a brutal master of climax. Needless confusion is a specification.
“How long will it take to get to your parents’ house?”
Gong Yacheong’s words suddenly brought him back to his senses.
“It should arrive in two or three days.”
“Eyes at a time like this… … The Gongyaocheong lamented. I look resentfully at the sky that still pours out my eyes.
“Confucius, we must prepare for the worst.”
“The worst?”
I was stranded in heavy snow, but the same goes for my enemies. Moreover, there was a possibility that they would give up the chase.
However, Gong Yacheong shook his head.
“Don’t underestimate the ronin. The purity of their inner strength and the level of martial arts they have learned may be lower, but they have the greatest weapon they have.”
I said the correct answer.
“experience.”
“Right. The experience gained by fighting a hundred battles. It’s not the warriors who are chasing us, it’s the ronin. They are the same, but very different.”
same but different beings. I think you know what that means.
In short, they are well-trained hounds. The person holding the leash is Jo-Pil, one of the first strikers.
“The reason I’m truly afraid of Jo Pil isn’t just because he’s a master at his peak.
that stubbornness. Viciousness. He has never once failed his request or missed his target.”
I answered like a sigh.
“It will be the same this time.”
“maybe.”
Gong Yacheong stared into the darkness.
Like a ?star“? As if it would come out and swallow us.
“We’re being chased by that guy.”
wheein. The snow wind melted into the darkness.
The camp is ready. It was a crude form of digging several small crypts and blocking the entrance with branches and fallen leaves, but it was not the time to cover the cold and hot water.
“I wish you a good night.”
Gong Yacheong disappeared with the sleeping brother and sister in his arms before he knew it. I kept thinking of the weary smile hanging on his lips.
‘You’re an adult.’
If I wanted to live, I would have been able to escape long ago. Gong Yacheong was a master of martial arts and an experienced Moorim man, but he did not. He fought, even risking his life, for the young siblings who did not share a single drop of blood.
So Gong Yaqing is a good adult.
‘Could I do that?’
I brushed away any doubts I had. This is a game. It’s not good to think deeply about fantasies that will soon disappear.
That’s right, it’s an illusion that will soon disappear.
‘Quest window open.’
belt ring.

‘I’m almost there.’
You just have to get over this hurdle. One-letter Jo-Pil. If you avoid the faceless guy, you can put an end to this damn journey.
But there was another problem.
‘How can I fill up the level or reputation, but how do I raise this guy’s level?’
When I first started clearing the tutorial quests, I had raised my level from third-rate to second-rate through ability distribution.
But after that, there is no news of inspiration.
‘What the hell is missing? ,In Wulin, I am an unreasonable being. You can learn martial arts faster than anyone else and raise your stats. It has become stronger by borrowing the power of the system in various parts.
That is the reason why he was able to literally smear quite a few first-class Moorim people on widely second-rate topics.
But really, I’m not first-class!
‘I should have asked Qin Wei-gyeong.’
At first, I wondered if I could just keep raising my stats and power, but lately I’ve been thinking that I’ve misunderstood something.
‘level? stats? air power?’
What is it? One last piece to complete this puzzle.
The answer came quickly.
‘If I don’t know, I’ll have to find it.’
as you have done so far. As you walk, you will find an exit.
I sat cross-legged and breathed. The 11 years of gong effort that was coiled in the Danjeon answered my call.
“I missed it.”
Joe Phil muttered. Black eyes like poisonous snakes scanned the surroundings.
missed the guys But traces remain. Those tiny traces will become a new milestone.
“Around twenty people. I left before about two o’clock.”
Jo Pil nodded at the subordinate’s report. Martial arts are third-rate, but follow-up techniques are at their peak. There were numerous such hounds under him.
‘It’s two o’clock.’
Suddenly, the distance narrowed to two o’clock. How long will it take to catch up with the fugitives?
It’s half a day at most.
You should have run away with all your might.
don’t even look back I should have thrown away those who were cumbersome or dropped out and ran like a tenacious one.’
If so, the distance would not have been shortened. But the guys were careless.
I would have thought I was tied up in heavy snow, and the difference made the current situation.
‘I’m a bit different.’
Last night was long. There was even a dropout among the subordinates who were prone to chasing. Falling out in the snowy mountains is synonymous with death.
The only difference from death on the battlefield is that you die a little slower. So Phil gave the order.
‘Kill.’
It is said that when a tiger dies, it leaves its skin, and a person leaves its name.
However, Jo-Pil thought differently. Do you have a name to leave behind for a third-rate life who has wandered the back alleys all his life? You should even leave the leather.
Leaving behind twenty naked corpses, they continued on. At dawn after such a long night, I was able to find their traces.
‘I’ll see you soon, friend.’
The corner of Jo Phil’s mouth went up. He is a master of enigma that has intrigued him for the first time in a long time. The hardened heart thumped and beat.
Burr.
“Ugh. what.”
I felt chills for a moment. When I lifted my forearm, chicken meat was sprouting. If this was a scene in a novel, the main character would have gone the way he was going with the words that he was somehow reluctant.
But I’m different. Move with a clear heart.
“hey. Come out quickly.”
You can’t see it, but you can feel it. The footsteps of someone who was trudging behind me flinched.
“Why, why?”
“Count to three. One, two, three.”
As soon as he counted to three, Hyuk Moo-jin quickly joined him.
“Is it you?”
“yes?”
“It is you. To be honest, I see.”
“What? Not me!”
I stared at the guy’s puffy face like steamed buns.
“Did you just swear at me behind my back?”
“Hut.”
“You were cursing right?”
“No, that’s right… … After all, it must have been this child. When I raised my hand, Hyuk Moo-jin tightly closed his eyes.
After being beaten three times, he lost his will to fight. In addition to that, I also learned the wisdom of life.
The fact that it is better to avoid it.
“good. To be honest, I’ll watch it this time.”
Hyuk Moo-jin shakes his head.
“Are you sure?”
I smiled warmly.
“Of course. But don’t think of fooling me in the future. I’ll be watching you out of interest.”
Hyuk Moo-jin looked at me with wide eyes and jumped back to his seat. If I had had enough time, I would have crushed his head with a mace. I swallowed my regret and continued walking.
“Do you have any interests?”
The chattering voice tickles my ears. She is So-yul, So-cheon’s younger sister.
Did you say five years old? It was small enough to fit in my backpack.
“Are you martial?”
“Not similar.”
“The law of interest, three?”
“It’s very strong.”
“and! Soyul wants to learn how to care too!”
“But you have to close your eyes.”
“omg!”
Turning my head, I see Soyul’s surprised face. The wide-eyed eyes are so cute that it’s not a joke.
‘Hayeon was like that too.’
She’s a disgusting little sister now, but when she was little, she didn’t have a baby angel. She was also offered a child role model, but… … .
It feels like carrying Hayeon from that era on her back.
“Would you like to learn from me?”
“… … Soyul doesn’t like martial arts. I want to be a true guru.”
“That’s good too.”
Yes. Do you like martial arts?”
“me?”
“My older brother says, he is very old. My dad said that only those who work hard can count.”
“Did your dad do that?”
yes. My dad is also great. because… …
jojal jojal. Soyul, who had been talking excitedly for a while, pouted her lips.
“Soyul wants to see her father. I guess it’s not the father. My brother said, he left me and my brother and went to play with my mother.”
In an instant, my heart dropped. Memories from long ago cover my eyes. In an all-black and white funeral home, young Ha-yeon found her father, and I had no choice but to tell an obvious lie.
Just like Socheon did to Soyul. he had only said that.
“… … I see.”
what more can i say I looked at Socheon, who was following me in the middle of the ranks. The man, breathing heavily, was drenched in sweat.
‘It must be difficult.’
It’s willpower that doesn’t match your age. The saying that pain makes a person mature sounds like shit, but it’s true.
Sochun never lags behind, and other patrol members admire his appearance.
‘The problem is different.’
It is a public hearing. Unable to recover from his injuries, his face was pale. If it hadn’t been for the excellent efficacy of Byeokgokdan I gave you and last night’s fortune-telling breakfast, I might have collapsed long ago.
‘If this is the case… … It catches up.’
Even when the sun rose, the accumulated snow did not melt easily. I lead the way through the snow, but everyone is tired and the pace slows down. In addition, the injured and children.
‘Should I run away alone?’
It was an idea that came to my mind in an instant.
It’s a game, so what? Gongyacheongdo, the young siblings, and the patrol crew are all artificial intelligences created and are nothing more than NPCs. But what about me?
live. Among them, I alone am real and substantial.
but… … .
‘f*ck. It’s a simple question… … Come on?’
An inexplicable feeling of rejection surged up. She is even embarrassed by the rejection that surprised even herself.
‘Why the hell?’
I don’t know. I couldn’t find an answer for several hours after that, and night came.
