A Spy’s Demonic Life - Chapter 326

#Interview

The leader I met again after a long time still had a youthful appearance, but his appearance was somewhat different from what I remembered.

“I am Jo Jin-pyeong! I will give my life!”

“Haha, life? Don’t say that. Who will guard this place without you guys? Get up.”

“Choo-woong!”

A person with wrinkles around their eyes, a good smile, a moderate amount of jokes and compliments.

Clearly in my memory, he was as blunt as a cold cliff, but how can people be so different?

Is this his true attitude toward his juniors?

Even though it was the agent’s unfortunate fate to die namelessly in the shadows, it felt like being hit hard by the extreme temperature difference.

Suddenly, my mind was twisted. Of course, I didn’t show it. That’s something only lowlifes do.

“This is a white paper. I will do my best.”

After thinking about my feelings, I bowed my head and paid my respects when it was my turn.

Okay then.

“It was you.”

A few heart-wrenching words came out of the leader.

Did you notice that it was room 103?

No, that can’t be true.

Now that I have reached Banbakguijin, even the best of Hwagyeong cannot guess my history, and there is no way they can recognize my disguised appearance after more than a dozen years.

If that’s the case, then yes.

“It was an impressive sword.”

A sword drawn on granite without one’s knowledge.

I noticed that.

“thank you.”

It wasn’t a big surprise. I thought he would recognize it. If anything, I would have been disappointed if he didn’t know.

Would he just listen to me without any proof?

So, I sent it with that intention in mind.

I’m here. I want to talk to you.

What was more surprising were the people who came with me.

In particular, Jin Ja-ryang and Namgung Shin were dumbfounded.

Because when it was their turn, there was no mention of the sword at all.

It was only one word, but the impact was enormous, especially since I had been secretly expecting it.

Because even if the leader doesn’t know anything else, he knows very well how stingy praise for the sword is.

What on earth did the author do?

‘Are you really saying that you got first place?’

‘Did you say it was a white paper?’

Before the shock had even subsided, two more people’s names were engraved in his mind.

But there was someone who was even more surprised than those two.

‘Hmm… … .’

A peerless master who is trying hard to suppress his excitement with a calm expression.

It was the Maengju County Office.

‘Is this really the case that interest rates have gone up? Isn’t that too plain?’

No matter how many times I watched it, it was the same.

Jang was just a first-class player who played well. Nothing more, nothing less.

Of course, I don’t mean to ignore that.

But the extreme is the extreme of martial arts. Even if it was by chance, it was something that could only be possible if there was an enormous depth of insight.

Compared to that, the first class is very lacking.

Of course, this was because Jang Seo had reached a level of counterattack that even the best of Hwagyeong could not penetrate.

But I couldn’t bring myself to think that far.

Because it makes no sense to become a Banbak Gwijin in your thirties.

At some point, the leader’s eyes filled with distrust.

‘Maybe I saw something wrong? Or maybe it was someone else.’

Gradually my thoughts began to turn to negative views.

And this was felt by Jang Seo as well.

‘You won’t believe me. Then I’ll just surprise you even more.’

Shhhhhhh!

A thin thread of energy flows out from Jang Yi-seo’s body and slowly begins to shoot towards the leader.

And very provocatively!

“what……!”

At this, the leader’s eyes widened.

“Where are you uncomfortable?”

General Deng approached the leader without knowing about this situation and asked about his well-being.

If you take a quick look, they’re all the same.

No one could sense the energy of Jang Yi-seo, who was sitting there in a daze.

At this, the leader had to swallow an even deeper sigh.

‘To the point where even the commander-in-chief couldn’t feel it… … .’

Who is the commander-in-chief? He is Cheolhyeolseong, the leader of the five martial arts masters.

It is said that he is a master who is considered to be at the top of the second generation of war. Strictly speaking, he is on the same level as the Seven Elders of the Demonic Cult.

But I couldn’t see through the energy of the person who looked like nothing more than a person with no personality.

This is something that is unimaginable with just a little skill.

‘Are you really saying that interest rates have gone up to extremes?’

How can there be an article like this?

‘I can’t believe it.’

The leader fell into a swamp of distrust. He soon steeled his resolve and held his breath.

Corn corn corn corn!

Then, along with an eerie noise, sharp white light began to appear all around.

Before we knew it, there were ten thousand different swords scattered throughout the room, including outside.

This is the lord’s sanctuary, the Ten Thousand Swords!

At this, General Deng looked very tense with an ominous feeling, while the rest just sat there blankly.

It was a difference of the mind.

Even if you reach the highest level of the mind, most people cannot master it.

It was a profound insight that was difficult to attain.

I don’t even see the commander-in-chief, I just feel it.

So what I’m saying is that it’s not something you can have at the age of thirty.

And Jang Yi-seo was inwardly very embarrassed.

‘Are you crazy?! To call a sanctuary from here!’

Although others may not know, his eyes clearly showed the sharp blade of a sword hovering precariously.

If you touch it wrong, your hand and head will both be cut off.

[Qiaaaah!]

It was so bad that even the devil inside me burst out in anger. It means that I was in a really unpleasant mood.

‘You’re not in your right mind.’

Of course, unlike the bewildered Jang Seo, the leader was confused.

‘Have you awakened even your heart… …?!’

Because it was clearly visible. Jang I-seo carefully examining Man-geom.

I was dizzy.

It was the legendary Hyeoncheong of the martial arts world, known as Shinju Ojeol.

How many knights must he have encountered in his ninety years of life?

However, this was something that completely broke his common sense.

‘Is he perhaps a master who has returned to his original state?’

That may be true. But it doesn’t mean anything. Even if you do the half-life transformation, you won’t be able to go beyond the age when you first approached the realm of the gods.

In short, the lowest point is the age at which one first begins to escape the shackles of time.

He himself was close to half-white, and Shin Seung and Seo Geom came in much later.

That’s why he looks younger than Seogeom and Shinseung even though they are of the same level.

In other words, even if you have gone through a transformation, it means that you have reached the realm of a god in your thirties.

That in itself is beyond shocking.

Of course, there were monsters who reached their twenties.

Cheonma Jinwookwang.

But isn’t that because it is something that cannot be compared across time and space?

‘Are you saying that Lee Ja’s qualities are comparable to Cheon Ma’s?!’

He gasped for breath and his face turned pale.

“Your Majesty?”

As the silence grew longer, General Deng came to his senses. He showed himself as an idiot in front of his juniors. Soon, his expression changed and he greeted them.

“Then I will ask for your help in the future.”

Accordingly, General Deng also calmly gave instructions.

“Go outside and wait.”

After everyone greeted each other, they stood up from their seats. Jang-seo followed suit and slowly got up.

Because opportunities don’t just exist now.

‘See you soon.’

“Are you okay?”

After everyone had left, General Deng brought back some strong-smelling tea and asked worriedly.

I can tell just by listening to his breathing that his state of mind is more complicated than ever.

“hmm…….”

The leader also spat out without hiding anything.

“Is it because of that guy named Baekseo?”

“It was even stranger than I expected.”

Quick nod. But it’s a really ambiguous expression. It’s strange. It’s rare to leave such an ambiguous comment.

“It didn’t seem like anything special to me.”

The general expressed his thoughts indirectly. It was an honest assessment. In his eyes, he was just an ordinary young man. Nothing more, nothing less.

one.

“That makes it even stranger.”

“yes?”

The leader shook his head with a look of despair on his face.

“Perhaps he is the most talented person I have ever seen. That is to say, he is closest to the talent I am looking for.”

“… … !”

Deng Tae-bo’s eyes grew wide.

Originally, the leader had a special affection for his disciples.

In particular, when looking at the latter index, the greatest importance was placed on how much potential it had.

The obsession with this was so severe that when a new expert appeared, they would unconditionally check their qualifications.

The external reason was simple: they were the future of the degree.

But there was another real reason.

‘The lord hoped that someone would emerge who would surpass him, whom he had been unable to defeat throughout his life.’

That’s right. The leader was always waiting.

A genius above geniuses, whom no one in the Central Plains, including himself, could surpass.

Cheonma Jinwookwang.

I’m talking about a talent who can surpass him.

Deng Tae-bo is one of the very few close associates who knows this fact.

So, I knew very well how much meaning there was in saying that he was the talent the leader was looking for.

“Is it even worse than the Three Heavenly Dragons?”

I asked in disbelief. I mean the Three Thousand Dragons. The True Dragon Jinjaryang, the Fire Dragon Jeongyeon, and the Changgungryong Namgungshin.

They are the best equipment of the 3rd generation, and I clearly remember the joy of the leader when I first saw them.

But the reality was dire.

“Comparing in itself is meaningless.”

“… … !”

The General, who was known for not being easily surprised, opened his eyes wide.

One leader was honest.

Clearly, the Samcheongryong are among the most outstanding among the many miracles he has seen.

But there were geniuses of that level in the previous generation too.

The five stars of Murim.

Even the Iron Blood Star Dengtaebo right in front of you is one of them.

But if what he saw was true, no one at that age had ever felt the sanctuary or taken such extreme paths.

Of course, there was another child who made my heart flutter just as much.

‘A child born with the worst body but with the best qualities.’

But the leader soon shook his head. This was not the time to indulge in useless sentimentality.

Anyway, this kid is good at hiding his presence so that even the commander-in-chief can’t notice.

But that kid was so blatant about showing off his aggression towards me.

Why on earth?

I don’t know why, but one thing was clear.

That there is another intention behind coming here.

“What should we do?”

Deep worry appeared in the leader’s eyes.

* * *

Meanwhile, Jang Seo, who had come out, was also lost in deep thought.

‘It’s definitely great.’

Ten thousand swords filled the room.

The sight of it emitting white light was truly a magnificent and beautiful sight.

But that only applies if the other person stays still.

What if those swords had been fired at him?

Could this have been prevented?

Just thinking about it makes the corners of my mouth go up and my hands sweat.

According to the death penalty, the sanctuary is the crystallization of a person’s lifelong goals.

So the sanctuary is said to have a different form for each manifestation, and it is impossible to know what will appear.

In that sense, I thought that the sword of the blind leader, which had a different appearance from the others, was probably the sword he had been wielding throughout his life.

Swords that were filled with deep affection even after using them only once were shaped by his thoughts.

So I became more curious.

What would it be like to actually wield the sword he wields? What would it feel like to face his sword, which seemed like a god when I was young? Would I be able to win?

My heart was pounding and my palms were hot.

It was a warrior’s sense of superiority that I had never felt while living as a spy.

That doesn’t feel bad.

“Hey, Baek Gong! What on earth did you do during your exam?!”

Jo Jin-pyeong’s excitement awakened the senses.
