Login Murim Episode 1003
When we finally realized that we had reached Gansu Castle, a strange tension began to spread among the audience.
I realized it once again. The purpose for which they came here. And the danger lurking somewhere in this very land.
‘How many of these will survive?’ A thought suddenly occurred to me at that moment, and I
I swallowed it with my mouth.
The great battle that is just around the corner cannot be avoided.
It’s just a matter of when and where, but countless deaths and blood will surely flow in all directions. If it’s not Gansuk, it’s Cheonghae. If not Cheonghae, then Seojang and Sacheon.
‘Or it could happen simultaneously in several directions.’
If the information obtained by Eunyeonggak is true, the army of Darkcheon, which is approaching from beyond the desert, is comparable to or greater than the 100,000 Demon Demons of the past.
With that number of people, there is no need to focus on just one location, and it is truly an enormous force.
‘There are as many as 100,000 demons, and they are even more dangerous than that, and on top of that, they also have Lee Dong-jin (以東陳)… It is by no means a good trend.’
Of course, since we have joined a major country, our forces’ power is also at a tremendous level, but we cannot deny the fact that our enemies have more options than we do.
Moreover, if my vague guess is correct, Dark Heaven is not just a group of evil spirits and fanaticism.
‘I can’t help it. The leaders of the Murim Alliance will not be unaware of the power of Dark Heaven, so we have no choice but to have faith.’
There has never been a time when I didn’t do my best at every moment.
He was always on the verge of death, defeated powerful enemies of a certain level, and struggled to prevent an even bigger crisis.
But despite this, I couldn’t solve everything on my own.
It’s the same this time too.
Just as they believed, I too must believe in them.
One person’s hand is enough to ignite gunpowder, but quelling the aftermath of the explosion requires the help of many people.
And the thought that lingered in my mind for a while ended with the mountain path.
When we completely crossed the rugged mountain range between Shaanxi and Gansu, a completely different landscape was revealed, as if a layer of camouflage had been removed.
High altitudes and the resulting cold air.
And beyond that, the ocher-colored fortress wall stands tall in the center of the empty plain.
No one knew that the city that appeared with the sandstorm was Tiansu (天水), the eastern end of Gansu Province and bordering the west of the island.
“······Wow, the atmosphere is amazing.”
Perhaps Hyuk Moo-jin’s reassuring words represented everyone’s feelings.
Lonely and desolate atmosphere.
That was the first impression of Gansu City that not only me but most people felt.
“Wow, why is the weather like this again?”
Hyuk Mu-jin, shivering from the cool, dusty wind, adjusted his collar.
It’s not that it’s not true, quite a few people were blowing out white breath at this very moment.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Those who have reached the state of invincibility in the cold and cold based on their powerful transcendental inaction, or those who are worse than that, but are peak masters who can push away the cold with their energy.
or······.
“Taesan. “It’s nice to be cool!”
Yes, there are some whose hometown is here to begin with.
To be more precise, it would be correct to say ‘them’.
“It’s been a while. is not it?”
At the word I blurted out, Sima Piao, who had been looking around in silence, opened his mouth.
“well. It feels a bit strange. I was only gone for about a year… but it feels like ten years have passed.”
Just over a year.
For some it is a short time, for others it is a long time.
And I was able to fully understand Sima Piao’s feelings.
From the time when the Murimmaeng was reborn to today.
Because the time of just over a year was too short to gather and hold down the moments of crisis that we experienced together as members of Hwaryongak.
‘Yes, so much time has already passed…
Just like Sima Pyo and Taesan who returned to their hometown where they were born and raised, I too was filled with a strange emotion looking at them.
Looking back, a lot of things happened.
The events were so long and complicated that we could talk about them non-stop for days. And in every intense moment, those two guys were always by our side. No, it was ‘us’ in itself. A comrade bound by the name of Hwaryongak and a comrade who can have your back. Maybe that’s why.
When I saw my gaze, which was filled with emotions from the past, Sima Piao also looked at me with trembling eyes, as if he felt the upheaval.
“footnote. “Can I just say one word?”
“then. anything.”
“I have no interest in sodomy.”
father
“Of course, I believe this part is not even a footnote, but I am saying this in preparation for an unexpected situation, so I hope there is no misunderstanding. “Okay then.”
The turbulence is shit.
After answering in a hurry, I watched in a daze as Sima Pyo rode his horse ahead, and sighed at the gentle gaze I felt from the side. “Why, do you have something to say?”
At the sudden sharp voice, Hao Wen-do, who had been following along sideways, hastily shook his head.
“No, actually, there is, but I will do it later.”
“Please do it now. “You look more embarrassed because you put it off.”
“I wonder if that will be okay.”
“No, I’m going crazy.”
Hao Mun-do, who flinched at the sight of me scratching the back of his head, looked at me and opened his mouth.
“It’s no different, I just wanted to tell you that the mission assigned to me ends here.”
“This is all…
“After evacuating the nearby residents and passers-by, we relayed the recent situation to Jin Daehyup. Fortunately, we reached Gansu without any incident, so I think it’s time to head back.”
“If you go back, where?”

“In preparation for any unforeseen circumstances, the disciples of the main text and open society are keeping an eye on the western area, and Soin plans to convey this news to the branch manager as soon as possible.”
Hao Mun-tao in front of me is a member of the Shaanxi branch, and Shaanxi branch leader Hao Wen is someone I know well.
The owner of Red Flower Tower in Shanxi Province is the first martial artist I met in this world.
“Monday and Tuesday, please say hello to the branch manager. “Thank you for your concern.”
“Even so, the branch manager is also looking forward to meeting again. Originally, he wanted to come in person when passing through the land of Seomseo, but circumstances did not allow it…
Hao Mun-tao, who spoke silently, took something out of his arms and held it out.
“This?”
“The branch manager told me to report it directly to Jin Daehyup. please! certainly! “You really encouraged me that I should never forget it.”
Hao Mun-tao held out a tightly sealed bamboo tube and gave a thumbs up with a coy smile.
“I personally respect you very much.” “······suddenly?”
“It doesn’t seem like it happened all of a sudden.” When I turned my head to follow Hao Mun-do’s rolling gaze, I saw Joo Hwar-ran staring intently in this direction for some reason.
No, to be exact, she was staring with deep eyes at the bamboo tube in my hand.
But that only lasts for a moment. Joo Hwaran soon made eye contact with me and naturally turned his head and spoke to the people nearby.
It happened so quickly that I wondered if what I saw was real. ‘What on earth was that?’
As I blinked and finally took the bamboo tube, Hao Mun-do, who had completed the last task given to him, began to slow down the reins little by little.
“Then I’ll just leave. “I wish you good luck.”
Just as he was about to turn his horse’s head and leave after taking the bow, an unresolved issue suddenly flashed through his mind like lightning.
“Oh, wait. “Can I ask you one last favor?”
“Please, what kind…?”
“I want to know everything that happens in the Cheonghae and Gansu areas. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a very small sign, so it would be good if you could convey it to us as quickly as possible.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. “The Murim Alliance’s information network has already been in operation for a long time, so information will be being relayed to all the nearby clans under the emergency order.”
I also just added to the old woman’s feelings, and I’m not too worried about that part.
From the very beginning, the fact that Eunyeonggak grasped the situation beyond the desert, which was even called the Desolate Land, was proof that our army’s information network was wide and dense.
However, there was still one thing that bothered me.
“Is Ningxia City also included in that information network?
“It looks like you are worried about the enemy’s magic bandit group.”
“After listening to the story so far, I think it’s something we can’t help but be concerned about.”
It’s natural.
It is said that one day about ten years ago, peace suddenly came to the lawless land of the American West, and at the center of all the events was an unknown master of Chogeoljeong.
If there was even the slightest possibility that he was another lucky sword that Amcheon had planted all over the world, he should have thought about turning his horse around right now.
‘It’s not easy to stop those who attack from the front, so if a two-front battle line is formed, it’s literally the worst.’
But contrary to my concerns, Hao Mun-do smiled.
“It seems that the lack of explanation by Soin has only heightened Jin Daehyup’s concerns.”
“That’s what you said.”
“Even though it is a periphery, it is a part of the world. Hao Wen and other intelligence groups have been keeping an eye on Ningxia for a long time. “When the conflict was brought to an end by an unidentified leader, we became even more alert.”
“ah.”
I overlooked it for a moment.
Information is money, and this is not just a law limited to modern times.
No, on the contrary, in a world like this, useful information was all the more precious.
And Haomun is literally a thorough information merchant who is much more like a martial arts fan than the opening that is evaluated with similar results.
Could it be possible that such people were unaware of the great incident that occurred in Ninghe Castle?
Sure enough, Hao Wen Tao’s voice that followed immediately was so calm that my concerns were meaningless.
“The magic bandits in Ningxia Province have long since disbanded. The most notorious leaders were all killed, and the rest could not even dare to resist. “After carefully reanalyzing the process at that time, we were unable to find any questions.”
“Then what about those magical enemies that appeared nearby?”
“It’s a stable. To be more precise, I should say that they are stables that were ‘once magical enemies.’”
stable.
These are people who travel around the world with horses and stars as their friends.
The stables, which served as both merchants and guides, were also the leaders of each region.
“The disbanded horse bandits have become stables.”
Hao Wendao nodded.
“Because I couldn’t continue to remain as a magician. It is said that some became stables, and others ran merchant merchants or pyoguks. “It’s like changing your constitution to suit the new era.”
“Then who is the supreme expert who conquered the magic bandits…?”
“That’s the only question. It is said that he has been staying in Ninghe Castle ever since, but no one knows his identity except that he is not Madou. Even the informants who are referred to in the text raised their hands and feet.”
If it is not Madu, it is said to be the origin of Simsan Yugok.
Even though it wasn’t certain, it was an answer that could put me at ease for an hour.
Immediately after that, after giving me an answer that satisfied me, Hao Mun-tao set off straight away, and when we arrived at Tianshui, we didn’t even think about it.
I met someone who wasn’t good enough.
