Episode 163 A firework as beautiful as a flower
I looked at Hwang Ark, who couldn’t get up easily.
“Hwang Ark, your stamina is weak.”
Hwang Ark lied down in a position to look at the sky and then answered.
“… … “If I hadn’t eaten Hundred Years of Water, I would have died while running.”
I also sat on the floor.
“Good job.”
“yes.”
Huang Ark lay down and looked at the sky, and I looked at the quiet wilderness. As I was looking at the desolate wilderness, a sword demon suddenly came to mind. From what I know, the Sword Demon’s heart is no different from this wilderness.
‘I wonder if he would have gone to visit Elder Heo by now.’
You never know. In fact, since Geomma’s condition was not normal, it was not natural for the patient to visit the patient. If he had been holding on to his sword and was on the verge of enlightenment, there was a possibility that the slut would not have reported the news at all.
In fact, Geomma does not even have a name for the disease.
He must be a man who became a sword demon because his serious attitude towards the sword itself is a disease.
The yellow ark, who was lying down, asked me.
“What kind of sect is Hao Mun?”
I, who was lost in thought while looking at the wilderness, briefly responded to Hwang Bang-ju’s words.
“This is the clan that does this.”
“… … okay. “Are you talking about making me run out of breath in the wilderness and then making me kill myself?”
“What you kill and what I kill have different results. I’m not a man who needs fame. Let’s assume that it was Ark, who leads the Great Five, that defeated the leader of the demonic bandits.”
“thank you. Because I actually killed the leader. “The rest of the world may not know.”
I looked up at the sky and asked Hwang Ark.
“Do you still have flares?”
“yes.”
“Take it out.”
Hwang Bangju put his hand into his bosom and took out a signal flare while looking at the sky.
“Would you like?”
“No, hold on to it for a while.”
I also lay down on the wilderness for a moment and looked up at the sky. As the sun set, there was a faint light remaining in the sky, as if it had stopped somewhere for a moment.
As soon as the light in the sky, suitable for viewing, recedes, stars in a dense arrangement will appear. After a while, I spoke to Hwang Ark just before a shining star appeared as if it was about to pour down.
“Now is the time.”
“What?”
“The sky is suitable for watching fireworks.”
“Oh, I don’t know if it will explode. “I’m shooting.”
Hwang Ark lifted the signal flare into the sky while lying down and pulled it by holding on to the rope attached below. At that moment, the gunpowder exploded and something that looked like ammunition shot into the air along with the sound of the wind blowing.
Although it did not soar very high, the fireworks that exploded from the ammunition again with a popping sound bloomed like flowers in the sky.
I said while looking at the beautiful fireworks like flowers.
“I think it’s the right signal for Pyoguk.”
“That’s right.”
This is because it is a crude signal with somewhat poor quality. The signal flares of organizations like the Murim League are of higher perfection than those. Anyway, the revenge of the messenger who had the signal was taken by me and Hwang Ark.
I said as I watched the remains of the flare scatter in the air.
“Still, it would have been better to fire a flare.”
“Why?”
“You never know. “Someone like me could have been lying here and gone to save him.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, you unknown martyrs, we have taken revenge, so rest in peace.”
Hwang said goodbye to the messengers who had never seen the ark.
“Rest in peace.”
I looked at the darkening sky and checked the condition of the yellow ark.
In fact, it was time to get up and walk before it got any darker. However, the yellow ark was silently looking at the sky, so I just left it alone for a while. In an instant, the night sky was filled with stars.
I muttered while looking at the stars.
“Why are there so many stars?”
Only then did Hwang Ark’s mouth open.
“That’s right.”
Huang Bang sat up and looked at me. He was wondering what he was going to say, so he hit the player.
“Shut up.”
“yes.”
“… … .”
“But you knew what I was going to say and told you to shut up…” … .”
“It’s none of my business, so shut up.”
“yes.”
“From now on, you just have to stop living as ugly and mean as these demonic enemies. “Resolutions are useless.”
Hwang Bang-ju said while washing his face with his hands.
“Lord Moon, I will go to Hwayangpyoguk later and apologize.”
“do it yourself.”
Suddenly, I woke up and turned my head when I heard the sound of horses’ hooves in the quiet wilderness.
It wasn’t just one or two words.
Hwang Bangju opened his mouth with a bewildered expression.
“ah… … “I think there are more.”

An unintelligible cry was immediately echoing in the wilderness. After a while, torches flickered and the sound of multiple horses’ hooves was heard.
Huang Bangju stood up and grabbed his sword.
I laughed while looking at the yellow ark.
“Do you have any energy left?”
“I can’t let you die.”
The probability that those approaching are magical enemies is extremely low. I beat them to death and even killed their leadership, but they are not the kind of people who would come to their senses and attack them again.
“Yellow Ark.”
“yes.”
I said, looking at the lights wandering in the wilderness.
“They fired a signal flare and it looks like they came to save us.”
“yes? “Is that possible?”
After a while, a man holding a torch was riding by and spotted us.
“… … You are here! ha ha ha… … .”
Of course, I was a stranger. However, when he saw me and the yellow ark, he burst out laughing and was happy, and moved the torch around with his hand raised.
“Here we go!”
Huang Ark looked at me.
“Lord Moon?”
I told Hwang Bang-ju exactly what I expected.
“These are the people who were in the guest room. I said it. “I’m here to help.”
Hwang Bang-joo suddenly felt relieved and covered his face with one hand, probably feeling strange.
Meanwhile, the man who arrived first asked me.
“Lord Moon, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. “There were a lot of corpses of magic enemies here and there, so I thought they were nearby, but it took too long to find them.”
I nodded and smiled.
“How did you find it?”
“I came just in case because a signal flare exploded in the sky.”
When the man finished speaking, people carrying torches noisily gathered around. Of course, Mo Yong-baek was also involved.
When I got up from my ass, Mo Yongbaek smiled and said.
“Lord Moon, thank you for your hard work. “We are late in providing support.”
It seemed like he knew that I had already annihilated most of the magic bandits. The men who came to look for us asked as if they were curious.
“Is Hong Gui also dead by any chance?”
I didn’t want to answer, so I deliberately looked at the yellow ark. Hwang Bang-ju had no choice but to open his mouth.
“Yes, he was the last to die here. in fact… … .”
Before Hwang Ark could say anything, the men holding the torches all cheered. Hwang Bang-ju’s words were soon drowned out by cheers mixed with curses and joy. People’s thanks were equally expressed to me and Hwang Bang-ju.
Thank you, Lord Huang Bang, or thank you, Lord Hao Wen… … .
Well, those were the words anyway.
A man from the group came with a horse and spoke to me.
“Lord Moon, please get on. “I will ride with my colleague.”
I got on the horse without hesitation. Another man likewise gave up his horse to Hwang Bang-ju and mounted his colleague’s horse.
A man took the lead and shouted while holding up a torch.
“Let’s go back! Follow!”
People shared their joy by talking loudly.
“Are you having a drink today?”
“I think I might not have enough alcohol today.”
We picked up the pace, amidst the men’s banter.
Those holding the torches naturally escape to the outskirts and run.
The people whose torches were extinguished and I, Huang Bang-ju, and Mo Yong-baek ran in the center, escorted by flames.
It was my first time running in the middle of the night surrounded by flickering fireworks, so my heart felt truly refreshed.
Even though I didn’t have to laugh out loud, people laughed out loud and started talking.
As I rode the horse, I looked around and saw that Mo Yong-baek was smiling and Hwang Bang-ju was also laughing.
***
There are drinking parties that cannot be avoided.
That’s it now. Because everyone started going out and sharing news and drinking. Even if we went back to the dorm, there was no place to rest because the people in the dorm were going to gather in small groups and drink alcohol anyway.
I had no choice but to take up one of the tables and have a drink with Mo Yong-baek and Hwang Bang-ju. But I didn’t like making a fuss, so whenever people came and asked me to tell the story of killing Hong Gui, I pointed to Hwang Bang-ju.
In the end, I had to repeat the story of Hwang Bang-ju over and over again. After a while, Hwang Bang-ju must have lost his temper, so he gathered people together and explained what had happened in the wilderness.
Every time Hwang Ark looked at me, I put my finger to my mouth.
‘Don’t talk about me.’
Inevitably, the yellow ark was at the forefront of this incident. Like a performer, Hwang Bangju explained what had happened in the wilderness and the people staying in the busy area of the big intersection listened.
I watched the people while sipping my Moyong Baek and alcohol.
At this time, the old man, supported by people, approached Hwang Bang-ju with difficult steps.
Huang Bangju looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.
“… … .”
The old man started crying even before he approached Hwang Bang-ju, and kept saying thank you while holding Hwang Bang-ju. The old man probably wasn’t the only one who lost his family to the magic bandits here.
I’m watching… … .
There were quite a few people holding the yellow ark and saying thank you or bowing. Hwang Bangju, who at first was just greeting people with a puzzled expression, was soon listening to people with a stern expression, bowing his head, and hugging the elders.
Mo Yongbaek, who was watching, said.
“Hwang Ark is losing his mind.”
“I know.”
“Lord Moon.”
Mo Yongbaek said while looking at me.
“… … Hong Gui, were you strong?”
I nodded.
“It must have been too much for the people here to deal with. Hong Gui seems to have thought of this place as nothing more than a supply warehouse. “I guess he acted like a leader in the wilderness by not bothering him too much on purpose and just attacking him whenever he needed something.”
Mo Yongbaek lowered his tone and asked.
“Did Huang Bang really kill him?”
I also answered in a low tone.
“okay. “Even though they all died.”
After thinking for a while, Mo Yongbaek jokingly said to me.
“I guess I should go and give him some diarrhea medicine. “Hwang Bang-ju must have felt something when he saw the elders struggling like that.”
Of course, some of the warriors here seemed to know that Hwang Bangju could not have killed him alone. But every time people came over with drinks, Mo Yongbai smiled, stretched out his hand, and pointed to Huang Bangju. He made facial expressions and gestures saying he wanted to pass the ball over there, but luckily people noticed quickly.
Mo Yongbaek said while looking at the Huang Ark.
“Hwang Bang-ju, if you do that, you will be pushed around by people and become a charlatan.”
I nodded.
“It’s better to be a thief than a magician. “Mr. Moyong.”
“yes.”
“Let’s create more charlatans in the future. “Even if I am the one who beats him to death, I will hand over the credit to my subordinates and place many of such charlatans in the powerhouses.”
Mo Yongbaek laughed like a person plotting a prank.
“All right.”
The two of us raised our glasses as we watched the bustling crowd.
I said.
“For the charlatan.”
Mo Yongbaek received it.
“For Hao Wen.”
We both finished our drinks.
Hwang Bang-ju, who had been harassed by people for a while, came with a flushed expression as if he had finally escaped.
Hwang Bang-ju slumped down in his chair and looked at me and said.
“Lord Moon.”
“why.”
“It’s so difficult to deal with people. Let’s say what we said again. Let’s say what we said again. I feel like I’m dying. “They told me it was Hwang Dae-hyeop. Does this make sense?”
I deliberately cleared my throat and then spoke to Huang Bang in a clear tone.
“Hwang Dae-hyeop, please take a drink.”
“… … .”
When I opened my mouth in a serious tone, the surroundings instantly became quiet. Perhaps because the yellow ark was here, everyone was looking.
Hwang Bangju grasped the surrounding atmosphere and then raised his glass with a surprised expression.
“Oh, yes. thank you.”
After pouring a drink for Hwang Bang-ju, I consoled him for his hard work with a more serious expression than before.
“It is truly fortunate that Hwang Dae-hyeop personally killed Hong Gui and saved his life. “I saw this with my own eyes in the wilderness.”
I jumped up from my seat and raised my drink.
“Brothers, let’s have a drink together.”
Mo Yongbaek stood up with the corners of his mouth turned upward, raised his drink and looked around. People were filling their drinks here and there and holding them up.
Mo Yong-baek, who received my gaze, shouted loudly on purpose.
“For Hwang Dae-hyeop!”
People responded with loud voices to Mo Yongbaek’s singing.
“For Hwang Dae-hyeop!”
Hwang Bang-ju’s expression was worth seeing. It seemed like a good thing, but now there was a complex mixture of expressions that said something big was going on.
In my previous life, I made eye contact with a poisonous horse… … .
I mingled with the crowd and laughed out loud.
