Episode 151 Lee Ja-ha, do you have something to say?
The warm atmosphere of the visit quickly calmed down because of the religious leader. While everyone was silent, Heogyeom spoke.
“It’s an old man’s favor.”
The Lord of the Blood Night Palace responded.
“Please speak.”
“I know that everyone has their own complicated thoughts about religious leaders. I feel the same way. However, if the religious leader said it was a visit to the sick, it would have been a visit to the sick with no other intention, so I hope nothing else happens here.”
Lord Hyeolyagung said to Gyoyoung.
“That’s right. “Yeong-ah, you go in.”
Perhaps because he thought his tone was different from usual, Gyoyoung got up and disappeared inside without opening his mouth.
Next, the Lord of the Blood Night Palace looked at me.
“Munju, you are not a good person to see, so you should go in and rest. “It’s enough here to just have the people of Hyeolya Palace and Elder Heo.”
The Lord of the Palace of Blood is telling me something absurd. This is because there are not many opportunities to see the leader up close.
“You can’t do that.”
That can’t be possible.
At this point, I know better than anyone else that even if all the experts here were to attack me, I wouldn’t be able to deal with them. So, it was necessary to look into this situation in advance.
As Heo Gyeom said, it must be a visit to the hospital.
The Lord of the Blood Night Palace spoke in a subdued tone.
“Then be quiet. Please… … .”
“I am a quiet person by nature.”
The Blood Night Palace Lord let out a short sigh. They probably think that if they mess with the cult leader, the entire Blood Night Palace will be annihilated, but in fact, the cult leader is a guy who can get away with that.
At this time, the ordinary sound of the main hall door opening sounded like a thunderbolt. Following the people’s gaze, I also watched the main hall.
‘… … .’
The religious leader who appeared in the main hall was so strangely large that it completely blocked out the light coming from outside.
Thanks to this, the inside of the main hall has become dark.
As the religious leader began to walk, the darkness in the main hall also dispersed. It was neither slow nor fast, but oddly enough, it looked like a person walking while stopping time around them.
There was no way to express his actions or facial expressions.
Even though he was walking normally, it looked like he was trampling on something. He was a man whose arrogance and arrogance cannot be simply described.
‘You damn bastard, the atmosphere is unique.’
It’s my first time seeing a religious leader too.
When I was invited to the Demonic Cult, there was naturally no need to see it because the sect’s leader was conducting a closing training.
Heogyeom spoke first.
“Master, you have come. Please understand that I cannot get up due to my poor health.”
When Heo Gyeom said that he couldn’t get up, strangely enough, everyone else got up at the same time.
When I finally didn’t get up, Yongmyeong came in front of me, picked up the chair next to me, and approached the religious leader.
Since Yongmyeong was intentionally blocking my view with his body, I tilted my head to the side and looked at the leader walking towards me.
From the moment the sect leader appeared in the main hall, he had been smiling for joy.
‘What makes that bastard so happy?’
Are you the type of person who will be blessed if you smile?
I couldn’t figure it out.
When Yongmyeong, who had placed a chair in a position where he could face Heogyeom, stepped back… … .
The leader sat on a chair and spoke to the people who came to visit.
“Sit down.”
The Prince of Blood and Night spoke as soon as they made eye contact.
“Sahyung, are you here?”
The religious leader nodded and answered the words of the Blood Night Palace Lord.
“The youngest is also very old.”
“yes.”
Except for Lord Blood Night Palace, the rest of the people showed courtesy at the same time.
“I’m meeting the leader.”
The leader nodded and looked at me blankly.
“… … .”
I also moved my head back and forth and looked at the leader. Then I realized once again that I was crazy. Why on earth do I start laughing as soon as I see the leader? I don’t know why either.
But the leader took his gaze away from me, who was smiling, and looked at Heo Gyeom.
“Elder Heo, one hundred and eleven years. “He lived a long time.”
Heogyeom nodded.
“You lived a long time.”
I picked my ear canal with my finger. The leader’s voice seemed like he was always mixing up his energy, so it felt like blood was coming out of my ears. It seemed like most of the people here would probably suffer internal injuries if they said Lion’s Roar in that voice. Because I was tired just by appearing, I kept my breathing calm and looked at the leader and Elder Heo.
The religious leader asked Elder Heo.
“How do you feel before death?”
Is this really a question worth asking when visiting a hospital? But after seeing the cult leader’s expression, I knew it was no joke.
Heogyeom answered.
“I felt like I wanted to live longer. It’s still foolish. On the one hand, I feel relieved to think that I am finally escaping this painful life. But there is more foolishness than comfort.”
The cult leader nodded.
“What remains so foolish?”
Heogyeom looked at the religious leader and spoke informally.
“It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill you with my own hands.”
The leader moved his head back and forth and let out a sound that sounded like metal.
“It’s your idea. But I also learned about assassination from you, so there’s no way I could be defeated so easily. “You are not a man who teaches poorly.”

The leader who was speaking continued speaking while looking Yongmyeong up and down.
“… … “You are the last disciple.”
Yongmyeong answered while slightly lowering his head.
“Yes, leader.”
“Even if you try as hard as you can, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to reach your master’s feet, so work harder than you are now.”
Yongmyeong answered calmly.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
The leader said while looking at the Lord of the Blood Night Palace.
“Elder Heo would have killed me anyway, so send me to the church when the time is right. “I will take you with me.”
The Lord of the Blood Night Palace responded politely.
“All right.”
Suddenly, when I looked at Yongmyeong, his complexion had already turned pale.
Heo Gyeom asked as if he was curious.
“How did the religious leader come here?”
The leader said it as if it were obvious.
“I have to come to see you. Because I won’t die when I return to school. “If I were about to die, wouldn’t you have come into the church and seen me?”
Heogyeom nodded.
“Now that I think about it, yes.”
It seemed like the leader had really come to see Elder Heo.
I looked at the expression of the old gentleman, and often looked at the expression of the religious leader. I could see that there were many stories between the two that could not be summarized in a few words.
The sect leader smiled and looked at the Lord of the Blood Night Palace.
“If it weren’t for Elder Heo, I wouldn’t have been able to become the leader.”
The Lord of the Blood Night Palace nodded.
“I think so too. “My husband also helped a lot with the execution.”
I heard the other day that Prince Hyeolya’s husband was killed by a religious leader. To this, the religious leader responded as follows.
“He was a great guy. If she hadn’t been so greedy, she would have been given the left or right position. By the way, didn’t Geomma come to visit you? “I’m sure she didn’t rush away like a baby when she heard I was coming.”
The Lord of the Blood Night Palace answered.
“I contacted you, but it hasn’t arrived yet.”
The leader asked with a smile.
“I heard they’re being foolish these days too, brandishing wooden swords?”
“I don’t know about that.”
The leader said while looking around at the people.
“… … While I was often concentrating on my practice, many people left. Looking back, I realized that I had the most fun fighting over the successor. At that time, no one thought of leaving. There were many times when I fell asleep once every three days, and there were times when I woke up after five days. I was able to close my eyes because of Elder Heo. The assassins’ assassins. Even when I was closing my eyes, Elder Heo was greeting and killing my enemies on my behalf, and somehow I miss that time more.”
Elder Heo smiled and nodded a few times. It seemed like old thoughts were passing through my mind.
The religious leader called Elder Heo.
“Elder Heo.”
“Please speak.”
“Many people have betrayed me, but I have never been the first to betray them. Same goes for you. “Most of them betrayed their old words and left me.”
Heogyeom responded.
“Me too?”
The cult leader nodded.
“Same goes for you. The common teaching of the many teachers who taught me was not to place limits on becoming strong. But at a certain point, he said the same thing over and over again. Do you really need to go that far? “That’s something you’ve often said to me.”
Heo Gyeom obediently admitted it.
“I did.”
“Why did you do that? “Why did you say different things with one mouth?”
Heogyeom responded with a tired expression.
“Cult leader, I guess it’s because I’m human.”
“Then, when you were at school, didn’t you teach etiquette to the assassins first? “Did you do that?”
“I couldn’t do that.”
“What did you say to those trying to survive?”
“They said you had to become a devil to survive.”
The cult leader nodded.
“I grew up believing that. You had been teaching me that way since I was a toddler, but one day you told me that I couldn’t do that. I didn’t think it was an insult. But I was embarrassed. If we hadn’t lived like devils, you and I would have already died during the struggle for succession. “Isn’t that right?”
I looked at Heogyeom in surprise for a moment.
Transparent tears were flowing from the eyes of the old gentleman. It was tears of regret or reflection, I don’t know.
Seeing those tears, the religious leader laughed.
“Is it because I’m old? He was a person who shed tears. You… … .”
Heogyeom answered, wiping away tears with his fingers.
“If I go back to that time. I must have lived like a devil again. There was nothing I could do to survive. However, as time goes by, if you see the religious leader gradually deviating from the human path… … I would have again advised you not to do that. “Sect leader, people don’t change their thoughts.”
The cult leader nodded.
“That is correct. I haven’t become the best in the world yet because you often stand in my way. If I think about my limitations, I can’t go any further. “Look at this little bastard.”
Heogyeom asked.
“Does the fact that you have become so strong but still have enemies make the cult leader so angry? “Haven’t we already killed enough people to overflow?”
“Thanks to the process we took to survive, the number of people trying to kill me is increasing, so how can I stop? “Your teachings are inconsistent.”
I spontaneously let out a sigh.
I felt like I knew why the leader had come to this place. I don’t say this to anyone, but this is the state of my thoughts as a cult leader.
He was a man with little humanity left.
It seemed like he had not come to say goodbye to Elder Heo, but rather to say his final farewell to the humans.
The religious leader asked Heo Gyeom.
“Elder Heo, do you have a wish?”
Heo Gyeom looked at the leader and laughed with a snort.
“I know you won’t listen.”
The cult leader nodded.
“I see what it is.”
The leader stood up and looked at Heo Gyeom blankly. Heo Gyeom said while nodding his head.
“Goodbye. Sect leader, when I die, let’s meet in the afterlife. “At that time, I will clear up the confusion and apologize for what I taught incorrectly.”
The cult leader shook his head.
“You and I are on different paths now, so we won’t be able to meet even after death.”
The leader then looked around at the Lord of the Palace of Blood and the people around him and spoke.
“… … Each of you is struggling. “I’ll see you again.”
I made eye contact with the leader for a moment. At that moment, the leader smiled and asked me.
“Isaha, do you have something to say?”
Since he was someone who was keeping an eye on the world through an intelligence organization, I wasn’t surprised when he recognized me.
I answered in a calm tone.
“I’m sure you’re struggling, so let’s meet again when the time is right.”
“good night. Don’t look forward to it. Elder Heo will also have high expectations for you.”
When the cult leader looked around at the people again, everyone had to keep their mouths shut. Suddenly, the religious leader looked around the main hall and spoke in a mocking tone.
“I don’t know why everyone who went to school likes the palace. “It’s the same thing with putting so much effort into making something that it looks good when you take it down.”
The religious leader walked to the main hall alone, turned his back and looked up at the sky outside. The religious leader, who was blocking the light coming into the main hall, turned his head and said goodbye.
“Goodbye. “Master.”
It was hard to see the leader’s face because it was backlit, but as soon as he finished speaking, I got the feeling that he was smiling.
Heo Gyeom also said goodbye to the religious leader.
“Please take a look.”
The leader answered in a casual tone as he went down the stairs.
“okay. It’s nice to see your face. When I get old, I have to die. “It’s inevitable.”
After putting aside my feelings about the leader, I first looked at Heo Gyeom’s condition.
Heogyeom was breathing with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, I looked at the people around me and saw that they were all half-fazed. Not only the Lord of the Blood Night Palace, but the others even seemed to have difficulty breathing. The owner of Suwol Ok, who seemed to be the least skilled, was shaking his hands and feet like a person suffering from a stroke.
“… … “The cult leader has gone, so come to your senses.”
I slapped the cheek of the owner of Suwolok next to me.
“Come to your senses.”
“yes.”
Everyone shook their heads a few times at the sound. I asked because I was worried about the old gentleman.
“Senior, are you okay?”
Heogyeom quietly opened his eyes and answered with a bitter expression.
“… … “It looks like your lifespan has been shortened by a few days.”
‘Ah, f*ck.’
Should you laugh at this, shouldn’t you? I nodded, pinching my thighs. I tried with all my might to find something to say in response, but I couldn’t find it. This was my first time seeing a real man make a joke about his own life, so I took a deep breath along with the others.
“after… … .”
