Chapter 740 - A thirsty man digs a well

the twentieth day of August.

Yeongcheonju.

Dongchon County, Sabi Province.

Finally, the Elyos and the masters of the three sects advanced to Dongchon-hyeon in Sabiseong.

As predicted by Bell Sonia, the chief of staff, there were fewer monsters in Sabi Castle than Han Sanju.

Besides, most of them were monsters who had fallen out of the lead, so it was embarrassing. Thanks to this, the masters of the three schools were able to fly around.

The operation to recapture Yeongcheonju went smoothly, but a strange tension flowed between the Elyos troops and the clan.

It's because of the work of Crown Prince Angelos Benito.

By now, it was more than enough time for messengers to arrive from Yusaengcheon, the domain of the Angelos royal family.

Subjugation was now possible only with sect masters, but the Elyos troops always went with the sect.

Even when subjugating from a distance, he always set up a camp next to the clan.

It was the same on that day.

After going up north for half a day, the Elyos troops came back to Dongchon-hyeon at night.

At this point, even the dullest person will notice something strange.

That night.

Yeonjeokha, who went out for a walk after dinner, stood tall at the sudden popularity.

Venerable Gwangseong of the Chun-roe sect and Venerable Jin-pyo of the Taesang sect stood in a hesitant posture.

"What happen?"

Then the Venerable Kwangsong forced a smile and said,

“I came because I have something to tell you.”

“How about the Venerable Jinpyo?”

“It is the same purpose as John Kwangseong. I want to hear what the Grand Master thinks.”

“What is it?”

Yeonjeokha alternately looked at the Venerable Kwangseong and the Venerable Jinpyo.

I wondered how great it was that the two servants had come to see him.

John Kwangseong opened his mouth first.

"Don't you think the Elyos are following us around?"

"hmm. It seems so.”

I didn't deny that I had a relationship.

He didn't know it when he subdued Hansanju, but he saw it when he entered Yeongcheonju.

No matter how far away the Elyos went to subdue, they always returned at night.

Even though there is no longer any need to fight in alliance with the clan.

That's why you can't ask for the Elyos' camp to be built far away.

It was embarrassing, but I had to wait and see.

Venerable Jin Pyo, who had a serious personality, spoke cautiously.

"I think it's because of something entangled with the Angelos royal family."

“Why is that?”

“When Angelos Benito's arm was cut off, didn't all the Elyos just watch? After the Angelos royal family has finished their revenge, whose turn will be next?”

“The Elyos commanders?”

"you're right. There is a prerequisite, ‘If you succeed in revenge’, but the royal family will not let commanders who are just watching.”

“What does that have to do with setting up an encampment next to us?”

“If the Grand Master looks at a disadvantage, the Elyos troops may attack.”

“Aha, so the Elyos commanders are looking for an opportunity? What do you mean?”

“I changed my stance and if I were the Elyos commander, I would. If there is a sure number to defeat Grand Master in front of you.”

“I haven't thought of that either. The Elyos have been at war with the demons. How can the Elyos, who haven't won against the Demon Gods for so long, suddenly be able to defeat me?”

Regarding Yeonjeokha's question, the Venerable Jinpyo could not answer.

If you think so, the Grand Master was right.

How could the Elyos, who couldn't do anything about the Demon God, defeat the Grand Master?

Then the Venerable Kwangseong intervened.

“It's not just that. This is a story I also heard from my ancestors, but it is said that there is a sacred instrument in heaven that protects the royal family.”

“Are you excited?”

Yeon Jeok-ha showed interest.

There are so many strange things in the world, so I wanted something else.

“Yes, I don't know if it's like a sword spirit or a holy weapon. Apparently, it was said that the Shingi protects the royal family.”

Venerable Jinpyo also nodded and added his words.

“Come to think of it, I feel like I heard that a long time ago. Even if I asked an Elyos I knew, he didn't give me a proper answer, so I thought it was a rumor.”

The words of the two people who were talking were not taken seriously.

Considering that the Shinki was not widely known, he thought it was not a big deal.

Even the Elyos, as well as the Asmodians, were aware of the sword spirit of the sect right now.

“I don’t know what Shinki is, but it won’t be a big deal. If he did, he would have made a name for himself in the Primordial War. Of course, rumors must have spread around Kuju as well.”

At Master Daejongsa's words, the Venerable Gwangseong and the Venerable Jinpyo nodded their heads in agreement.

It is because if Shingi is so outstanding, it should have appeared in the Ancient War.

Still, the Venerable Kwangseong could not shake his worries.

“Daejangnim. The root of the celestial royal family is the messengers of the Creator God. Beware, they may have a trump card unknown to them.”

"Okay."

Yeon-jeok-ha answered honestly.

There are so many things beyond imagination in this world, so there was nothing wrong with being careful.

Thinking that he had achieved his goal to some extent, the Venerable Kwangseong subtly changed the subject.

“Master Grand Master is the hope of not only the religious sect but also the people living in Kuju.”

“Ah, what is your hope?”

Yeonjeokha hit his hand with a confused face.

He praised himself as the hope of humans, and his face burned for no reason.

"no. Until the Great Master appeared, humans were treated as little better than beasts. I can't even tell you how much the Elyos ignored the sect.”

The Venerable Jinpyo also helped out.

“Gwangseong is right. Elyos treated humans as inferior beings. Rather, it was the demons who were treated properly by the Elyos.”

"ah! is it so?"

Yeonjeokha looked at the two venerable men with startled eyes.

He didn't know because there was no book written about it in the papers of the servants, but he treated humans as inferior beings... … .

Suddenly, the Venerable Gwangseong said with an excited face.

“But these days, seeing even the arrogant Elyos notice the Grand Master, I feel very relieved. To be honest, I got goosebumps when Grand Master cut off the arm of Crown Prince Angelos Benito.”

Venerable Jinpyo poured cold water on the atmosphere that was trying to be harmonious.

"But since the crown prince's arm was cut off by a human, the Angelos family will not stand still."

"Well, that's true, but anyway, the noses of the Elyos must have gone down a lot this time."

When the venerable Kwangseong and the venerable Jinpyo exchanged exchanges, Yeonjeokha quietly turned around.

Belatedly, the Venerable Gwangseong and the Venerable Jinpyo greeted the back of the younger brother of Yeonjeok.

“Please rest, Grand Master.”

"see you tommorow."

Without looking back, he raised his hand and disappeared into the darkness.

Venerable Gwangseong and Venerable Jinpyo started walking on the opposite side of the Grand Master.

The Venerable Kwangseong, who was silent for a long time, asked.

“Do you think the Elyos Expeditionary Force will use their hands against Grand Master?”

“Well, it doesn’t depend on how you come out of the Angelos royal family. They will aim their swords at Grand Master the moment the Angelos royal family's victory is foreseen.”

“If that happens, on which side will you stand, Venerable Jinpyo?”

“Of course I am not going to win. Would the Venerable Kwangseong want to stand on the side of Grand Master?”

“It could be. Even if I have been greatly favored by Master Grand Master, since I am a servant of the first class, I will not follow the cause.”

Venerable Jinpyo muttered inwardly, “It must be the trend, not the great cause.”

The Venerable Kwang Seong continued to speak.

“By the way, I was surprised when the Grand Master offered to give me the Heavenly Gate. He thought the Grand Master would withdraw because he was the first-class contributor who killed the demon... … . Isn't that why the Elyos keep holding meetings to reaffirm that?”

“The Grand Master is lighthearted, but he says he always keeps what he says.”

“Anyway, it is. You do not know the obsession of the Grand Master and the Bingsulhwas for astronomy. I have no idea what the two of you are thinking. Why do you want to hand over the Astronomical Gate after November?”

Venerable Jinpyo murmured.

“In November, it seems that Ice Snow Hwa's birth date will be around that time, but... … .”

"Yeah, but what does childbirth and fontanelle have to do with it, so I'll make it right on the birth date."

After exchanging opinions for a long time about the meaning of November, the two went back to their respective dorms.

next day.

I left the room after having breakfast with a fleet of pirates who woke up late in an inn without an owner.

He hesitated as he headed toward the guesthouse as usual.

Urgent footsteps could be heard from the entrance of the inn, incongruous with a peaceful morning.

Soon after, the Gok Furious union jumped in.

Aware of the excitement and anticipation hidden behind his tense expression, the couple crossed their arms.

“Gok union, why are you running around like a dog in heat from the morning?”

“Great servant! came!"

“Who is coming?”

“A little while ago, the Angelos royal family's knights entered the Elyos camp.”

"okay? How many people came?”

“They say it’s the Peranos Knights, but the number seemed to be about a hundred.”

“Isn’t that too little? Didn't you come to avenge Angelos Benito?"

“If you think only of numbers, I think you will be able to find out only when you meet them in person.”

“But you know what?”

"yes? What are you talking about?”

“The song union seems to be very excited right now. What good do you think?”

“It feels good to be getting back the territory that was taken away. The Venerable Kwangseong and the Venerable Jinpyo set off first to visit the royal guests. What do you plan to do, Grand Master?"

“The Venerable Gwangseong and the Venerable Jinpyo went first?”

“Yes, Grand Master said he was going to sleep, but he left saying he needed to figure out the situation first.”

“Are you being sarcastic because I overslept?”

Yeon Jeok-ha argued, but the grain mill union did nothing but say what they had to say as if they hadn't heard anything.

“Shall we take you to the camp of the Elyos? Or should I ask the Knights of Peranos to come?”

“Come on. Originally, a thirsty guy digs a well.”

"All right. Then I will go and convey the words of Grand Master without hesitation.”

“Uh, please tell me about the well.”

“I will, if you will.”

The Gokbunjo union disappeared in the blink of an eye after bowing to Yeon Jeok-ha.

“Tsk tsk!”

Nemesis Ha shook her head excitedly.

I don't know why I'm running out of breath when I have such a desperate new law.

Yeonjeokha, who had been going to the guesthouse, turned around.

In any case, if the venerable Gwangseong and the venerable Jinpyo were not there, he had no reason to be in the guest hall.

After trudging along the empty streets of Dongchon-hyeon, they moved out of the village.

The town could be destroyed due to a clash with the Peranos Knights, so it was moved.

He stopped while leisurely enjoying the bizarre scenery unique to Yeongcheonju.

Beyond the mountain protruding like the tip of a spear, I felt a strange aura that was difficult to explain.

how to say

Shall we say that it seems that a deadly venomous snake is tightly coiled?

Then instinct spoke.

That venomous snake needs to break its head before it bites its heel.
