Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 114



Only Noblemtl

Could the secret of my death from my previous life be hidden? Episode 114

Cheon I-bang.

Dam-myeong and Cheon-i-bang-ju sat face to face.

Today, I’d like to have a cup of warm tea.

Of course, just like last time, I first entered the secret room of Cheon-i-bang, which boasted tight security.

“How many people went to Cheonhwajang? They said that the Gwiryeongdae was annihilated.”

“They both went.”

“Two? Not two hundred, but only two?”

“I was going to go alone, but I took one more person with me. I needed someone to take care of the child.”

“Huh… … . I don’t know if I should call this reckless or amazing.”

The gaze of the chief of the Cheon I Bang Ju was looking me up and down.

A complex expression.

A sense of wonder beyond amazement, and a sense of relief.

Since he was the one who told her the location of Cheonhwajang, it was inevitable that he would be worried.

If something went wrong, Hwanmilru could become an enemy.

“The decision that day wasn’t entirely wrong… … .”

Makchubu muttered quietly.

The reason Cheon Ibangju passed information to Dam Myung was not necessarily because of the fear of being beheaded.

It wasn’t just out of curiosity about who killed the Blood Lord.

Hwanmilu is not a place that was named after the twelfth century by force.

But perhaps it is a more difficult enemy to deal with than other places where experts hang out.

Because they are the ones who don’t hesitate to kidnap children, poison the elderly, seduce them with beautiful women, sow discord, and stab them in the back with a smiling face.

‘I said so nonchalantly that I would get rid of that place… … .’

Makchubu’s age is soon to be over ninety.

He has lived in the ark of the Heavenly Kingdom for a long time and holds all the secrets of the world in his hands.

I also witnessed all kinds of dirty tricks and schemes.

He watched as an entire family was destroyed and an entire sect disappeared because of the information he passed on.

Not so good experiences.

I have met countless clients over the years.

‘At this age, you can tell just by looking at a person’s face… … .’

Some were like rats, others like snakes.

Those who want information only for their own benefit.

I looked at the man named Dammyeong in front of me once again.

A stately physique that could easily be two heads taller than one’s own.

There is no lie in a face with a faint smile.

A man who jumps into a trap to save a young girl.

And the one who does it.

‘Can’t I just throw away all that cool-headed analysis and make decisions as I please?’

As if reading Makchubu’s mind, a faint smile appeared on Dammyeong’s face.

“Is the child okay?”

“Thank you for bringing me back to where I belong. Thank you.”

Ugh.

Makchubu took out a thick document and placed it on the table.

“Here’s the information about the Hwanmilru that I promised. There may be some missing since there are so many scattered organizations.”

“Thank you.”

“It may be a bit of a stretch, but it won’t be easy. Hwanmilu is a guerrilla organization. They run brothels, secret gambling houses, and black markets that only deal in stolen goods. There are also guys who systematically traffic in people, and there are places that sell elixirs and aphrodisiacs. They are the ones who do all the dirty things in the world.”

“I know.”

“They’re not the kind of guys who would stand up and fight. They’d definitely do something dirty that you wouldn’t even imagine. So I think we should deal with them one by one, secretly, from the bottom up… .”

“Thank you for the advice. I will think about it carefully.”

Somehow, he had a feeling that this man named Dammyeong would not follow his advice.

A feeling that I was going to hit it head-on and smash it to pieces.

“And this… … .”

Dam-myeong took out a thin book from his bosom and handed it to me.

“Is that possible?”

The cover and the inside are blank.

Just a blank sheet of paper with nothing written on it.

“hmm…….”

After looking through the books for a while, Cheon Ibangju opened his mouth.

“It wasn’t made with incense, juice, or goat milk. It wasn’t even procured… … . Judging from the traces of its hands, it seems like it’s been read many times, but isn’t it still blank? Perhaps there’s something special about this book that makes it resonate.”

It means that it is difficult to interpret.

“… … Is this by any chance a Huanmiluju item?”

Dam-myeong nodded quietly.

“Then I think I know what it is. I’m sure it’s certain.”

“What is that?”

“I once had a deal with Huan Miluju. I went into Luju’s room at that time, and I saw Luju reading something with it. She was holding it up to her eyes like this.”

Makchubu pretended to bring the teacup to his eye.

“What is it?”

“It’s a wonderful stone.”

Cat’s eye stone is one of the precious gemstones and contains a substance that emits white light.

It was given the name Cat’s Eye Stone because its shape resembles a cat’s eye that is elongated vertically.

Although it emits its own light, it is not as bright as a night light, so it is only used as a precious accessory material.

It’s expensive, but it’s not something you can’t get.

“Are you saying that you will be able to see it if you look through the Myoanseok?”

“It won’t work with just an ordinary tombstone.”

“Where do you think the magician put that?”

“Well, since I put the book in a secret safe and lost it, I guess I’ll carry the tombstone myself.”

* * *

Back to the Beast Gate.

“It’s a magic stone… … .”

It means that it is valuable enough to be read in such a complex way.

It also means keeping it without discarding it after checking it once.

It’s definitely related to Eunrim.

It’s a book, not a letter.

It doesn’t look that old, so it’s definitely a transcription of the original.

Well, what should I do… … .

After the Huanmilu is destroyed, it may already be too late.

Rouge already knows that this book has disappeared.

If the fight with the Beast Gate looks like it will be lost, he may just take the Myoan Stone and disappear somewhere.

You could just break it.

It’s difficult for me to step forward myself.

No matter how much you disguise yourself, you can’t hide something this big.

At times like this, it would be nice if I could find at least one of Mongyeongshintu and Dumunrang.

Then a voice was heard from behind.

“Dammyung, what are you worried about?”

Nok Seung-seo stood behind me silently.

Average build, but not barbarian in appearance.

Quick and stealthy movements.

And the ghostly sleight of hand that was a gift from heaven.

hmm…….

* * *

Hwanmilu is also the name of a huge pavilion with eight floors.

The first and second floors are high-class bars, while the third and fourth floors are secret gambling dens.

The fifth floor has a special room where only special guests are accommodated, and the remaining floors are occupied by the leaders of Hwanmilu and their guards.

The Lujuin Magical Center naturally stays on the eighth floor, the very top floor.

Ma Jeong-so was lost in thought, stroking the tombstone in his hand.

“Things have gotten complicated.”

He muttered in an irritated voice.

The secret safe of the Cheonhwajang, which was confident to be safe, was empty.

It was a perfect safe without even a single crack the size of a hair’s breadth.

You can earn that money again.

I was so angry that my heart ached.

What’s important is that the books that were passed down from Eunrim also disappeared.

‘He probably took it with him when he packed the vouchers. He probably knew it was empty and threw it away somewhere.’

The book is a kind of prophecy that predicts his actions.

The moment we’ve been waiting for for hundreds of years is approaching.

‘To lose such a precious thing at such an important time. Tsk tsk. But it’s fortunate that I kept the books and the tombstone separately.’

At that moment, Ma Hyo-won, the general manager of Hwanmilu, came in.

“Rouge, we have a guest.”

His half-brother, Ma Hyo-won, reported in a low voice.

As they say, blood is thicker than water, and her personality is exactly the same as that of Lu Zhuan Ma Zheng Xiao.

He is also the only confidant he trusts in Hwanmilu.

“Who is it?”

Ma Hyo-won came closer and whispered in my ear.

“Why aren’t they there? Those savage bastards who have settled in Gonming… … .”

Ma Jeong-so jumped up from his seat and asked.

“Yeast Gate? Did that guy Dam-myeong come in person?”

“If that was the case, would you have come to report like this? Why don’t you just surround him and kill him? Another guy has come. He must have come to convey the message of Dammyeong. He’s handsome and slender, but he doesn’t look like much of a guy.”

“Did you come alone?”

“That’s right. I’m waiting in the private room on the fifth floor right now.”

He shouted at Eunrim that he would kill that guy named Dammyeong.

Without any hesitation, so as not to get caught by the tail.

Fortunately, Maeng Deung-ho believes that we still have his daughter.

It’s been a month since we promised.

Although he is stupid, he is an incredibly skilled guy, so he will soon come for that damn guy’s head.

But why is someone suddenly coming from the Beast Gate?

I had a strange feeling, but I’ll find out what it is when I meet him.

“Let’s meet first.”

Ma Jeong-so, who was standing up from her seat, wrapped the Myoanseok in leather and put it in her bosom.

If you lose this, it will be a big problem, so you should always carry it with you for the time being.

Squeak.

I opened the door to the private room on the fifth floor and went in.

A man was sitting alone at the end of a large table that could easily seat twenty people.

“Yeah, you came from the Beast Gate?”

We sat across from each other at the end of a long table.

“Yes. You are Ma Jeong-so, the master of Huanmilu?”

Ma Jeong-so slowly examined the opponent in front of him.

A pretty face like a girl’s and a slim build.

If you just do something about those intense eyes and dress her up in some pretty clothes, she looks good enough to be considered a woman.

If he hadn’t revealed himself as a Beast Man, I would have thought he was one of the sectarians.

“You have guts. You came to me without even a single knife.”

“Even if I brought it, it wouldn’t have been meaningless, right?”

Although he may not be as good as the other twelve leaders of the Apostles, Ma Jeong-so is also a great master who is looking towards the peak.

And of all places, it is the Hwanmilu Hall.

A place where over a hundred masters gather.

“Hahaha, that’s true. You’re really quick-witted, young man. Haha. So what business do you have with me at the Beast Gate of Gonming?”

There are six guys in this room holding knives.

Except for Rouge.

But the gaze of this slender man was unwavering.

“His Majesty would like to meet you sometime soon.”

“Hmm. Why?”

“I don’t know the details. I just came to tell you this.”

“Hehe. You came all the way here just to tell me that? So when were you saying you’d meet me?”

“I don’t know. He said he would come and see me soon.”

“Haha, wait. By the way, doesn’t that neighborhood originally reveal its name? Is it because they’re barbarians that there’s nothing they can do? Hehe.”

Everyone in the room laughed along with Ma Jeong-so’s laughter.

“It’s a green book.”

“He has some spirit, and that’s good. If something happens to the head of the clan over there, and he has nowhere to go, come find me. I’ll make sure he has food and a place to live.”

“It sounds like you’re saying something might happen at any moment.”

“Ugh. Is that what you heard? Anyway, isn’t this the Central Plains? It’s a dangerous place where you never know when something might happen.”

“I’ll remember that. Well, I’ve finished what I had to say, so I’ll be going now.”

Nok Seung-seo, who was walking towards the door, stopped for a moment and then started walking towards the magic station.

Everyone in the room simultaneously placed their hands on the handles of their knives.

“Leave it alone. Why are you yelling at a guy who doesn’t even have a sword… … . Hehe.”

Nok Seung-seo, who had come closer, opened his mouth.

“I almost forgot. Our lord told me to make sure to tell you this.”

“what?”

Nok Seung-seo lowered his head and whispered in Ma Jeong-so’s ear.

“He told me to tell him that I was very grateful.”

“What? What are you thankful for? A guy whose face I’ve never even seen before?”

“I don’t know about that. Well, I’ll see you next time.”

With those words, Nok Seung-seo disappeared outside.

Leaving behind only words of gratitude whose meaning was unclear.

Beast Gate.

“Hmm. Is this the tombstone?”
