Episode 609: It doesn’t follow the rules
In addition to the delicious food, three jars of good wine were served, but not much was consumed.
When he was almost done eating his meal, Yongjin suddenly asked his servant.
“How long have you been in the Castle of Chaos?”
“Sir, I have been staying in the Castle of Chaos for eighteen years.”
The servant spoke cautiously.
“Wow, you’re in the middle of the Tongmaekyeong era, but you’ve lived in this city of chaos for eighteen years. That’s amazing.”
Yongjin nodded and said.
“Sir, are you kidding me? I usually stay in the basement and can’t go outside. I’d die the moment I go out.”
The servant said with a smile.
“You’ve been in Zhou for a long time, so you probably know a lot of things that other people don’t. Okay, I’ll give you a chance. If you grab this opportunity, you won’t have to work in Zhou anymore. You’ll gain a lot of wealth, find a comfortable place, and spend your life comfortably. It’s hard for you to break through the innate realm with your talents, but I can make that dream come true. I will help you advance to the innate realm.”
Yongjin said calmly.
“Customer… Are you joking?”
The servant spoke with a surprised look on his face.
“It’s up to you to decide whether it’s a joke or not. If you think it’s a joke, it’s a joke. If you take it seriously, it’s serious.”
Yongjin smiled slightly and threw a ring to the man. It was the space ring of the Apostle Strong Man. Inside it were the innate weapon, some elixirs, techniques, and spirit stones. If converted into money, it would be worth hundreds of medium-grade spirit stones.
It was nothing to Yongjin, but it was a huge amount of money to this servant.
“If your answer satisfies me, I will give you one more Jincheondan.”
Yongjin dropped another bomb.
Gulp.
The servant swallowed hard enough for Yongjin to hear. He could even hear his heart beating like crazy.
The servant placed the ring on the table and spoke in a nervous voice.
“What do you want to know?”
He was smart and immediately understood what Yongjin meant. The ring was not his yet, and depending on how he answered, whether he could have it or not would be determined.
Yongjin smiled brightly. Yongjin liked interacting with smart people.
“There’s so much I want to know. I want to know everything about the Castle of Chaos. But don’t worry. Even if what you know doesn’t satisfy me, I will pay you well. I will never treat you poorly.”
The power of money is always great, and the servant told Yongjin everything he knew without leaving anything out.
In the city of chaos, there were two independent forces besides the degree and the strong apostles. One was the master of Juru, who was a mysterious figure who did not directly manage Juru and had not appeared for eighteen years, as if it was only a small business.
However, no matter how great the master’s background was, whether he was a strong man or a powerful apostle, he did not dare to cause a commotion in the castle.
The background of the owner of the dungeon was not something a mere servant could figure out. Another powerful force was the owner of the gisaeng house and gambling house in the Castle of Chaos.
Since ancient times, gambling and parasitism have never been separated. The two businesses favored by the most powerful apostles are owned by the same person, and their backgrounds are also very strong.
Even when the Apostles with vicious personalities entered gambling houses and prostitute houses, they did not cause any unusual commotion. Even if someone did cause a commotion, it was only on a small scale.
The servant had personally witnessed someone in the gambling house beating a strong apostle to death for causing a commotion. However, the strong apostles did not show any anger and simply carried the body away without any reaction.
The servant told Yongjin an important secret. The owner of the gisaeng house and the gambling house was a powerful man who had been hit by a half-step.
He once entertained a guest from outside at this tower, and either because he was really drunk or because he was deliberately trying to tell someone, he said that the Hwa family of Dantop was behind him.
Yongjin, who had been listening to this, couldn’t help but be surprised. Was this the kind of relationship that the Hwa clan of Dantop had?
But on the other hand, it is also possible that the person intentionally flaunted his connection with Dantop to scare others and protect his own business.
Yongjin looked out the window. He saw two very luxurious buildings. They were a gambling house and a gisaeng house.
There were no signs or names, but there was no one in the castle of chaos who did not know where the gambling dens and the gisaeng houses were.
Some exiles even went so far as to stay out of work and get drunk. Most importantly, it was the safest place in the Castle of Chaos.
The Chaos Territory was a place where one could lose one’s life at any time.
Some people came here to earn more money and accumulate more resources for their practice.
However, most people are naturally talented, so they would come here every time they received their wages and gamble and commit parasitism. The servant said that the money sucked by the gambling house and parasitism house was enormous.
After hearing everything, Yongjin thought that this meal was not a loss.
“I’ll ask you one last question. Depending on your answer, you can have all of these items.”
“Please tell me.”
“The mission reception point for the Bloody War is also in this Castle of Chaos, right? Where is it located?”
This was Yongjin’s purpose today.
Yongjin, who was quietly investigating the Bloody War, found out that there was a Bloody War mission reception point in the Castle of Chaos.
This was the base of the Blood War. The Blood War was a secret organization, so there were few bases and most of them were in the shadows. However, they proudly revealed their base only in the Castle of Chaos.
It was because the environment here was special.
Hyulsaljeon tried to assassinate Yongjin several times. However, Yongjin was not going to just let it happen. He planned to counterattack Hyulsaljeon this time.
The servant pointed in the direction with his finger. When I looked in the direction he pointed, I saw a building that looked like a skeleton half buried in the ground. The building had a white exterior, making it very easy to recognize.
“Sir, I will treat you to this meal.”
The attendant who received the ring and Jincheondan from Yongjin spoke urgently when Yongjin tried to pay the bill.
“Okay, this is what you should have. What you should be thinking about now is how you are going to survive and escape this castle of chaos. To do that, it would be best to keep quiet.”
Yongjin took out eighteen medium-grade spirit stones, threw them on the table, and then led the people down the stairs.
As soon as they left the stadium, Kwak Yeon spoke in a low voice.
“Captain, why didn’t Wan come out with his sister-in-law this time? We have powerful helpers too.”
“Our job is to kill people, so it’s uncomfortable to bring women with us. They don’t like this kind of work. Why? Are you scared?”
Yongjin asked.
“No way. It’s not easy to kill those bloodthirsty bastards, so I was just worried that there might be a mistake.”
Kwak Yeon said.
“You’re right. All of those Bloodthirsty guys are professional assassins, so they’re well-versed in various killing methods. However, the reason the strong are called strong is because, in addition to strong weapons, they also need a strong mind. It may be pride, but you can’t be without confidence. Your strength is beyond your imagination, so you should be confident no matter what enemy you face.
Don’t feel pressured just because your opponent is a professional assassin. The ultimate goal for both them and us is to kill the enemy. So, you are also assassins, so what are you afraid of? If you killed more people than them, it should be more, not less.”
Yongjin said bluntly.
“What the Captain said makes sense. By the way, Captain, is it possible that the reason you didn’t let Wan’s sister-in-law come is because you were afraid that she would be stronger than the Captain? And the other brothers! Is there anyone among you who is stronger than Wan’s sister-in-law?”
Kwak Yeon asked a question.
Although others did not know that Dang Wan-ah had been promoted to the rank of Heavenly Warrior, the commanders of the Dragon Blood Corps already knew.
“You talk a lot of useless stuff. If you have the power to do that, think about how you’re going to kill someone later.”
Yongjin said as if he was annoyed.
“Haha, I get it.”
Kwak Yeon made a face that said he knew everything.
“What do you know?”
Yongjin was dumbfounded. The guy never had a single serious day.
“Haha, we’ve arrived. Everyone, watch the area outside and if a rabbit comes out, kill it immediately. Kwak Yeon, you stay still as much as possible. Then I’ll go in first.”
Yongjin, who arrived at the bloody battle stronghold, walked to the main gate. The main gate was designed like a skull’s mouth, and looked very eerie. However, they would meet the real grim reaper today.
As I entered the main gate, an empty hall appeared. In this very shabby place, only one old man was there, with his eyes closed, trying to gather his wits.
The moment Yongjin entered the door, the old man opened his eyes immediately. His cloudy eyes were no different from those of any other old man.
“excuse me.”
Yongjin came inside, looked around, and spoke calmly.
“Yongjin? How dare someone who’s ranked as a killer show up here? Young people these days are really bold.”
The old man looked at Yongjin and said with some surprise.
“I was born this way. However, it seems that not everything in this world is fixed. For example, the roles of the hunter and the prey often change. What do you think?”
Yongjin looked at the old man while carrying his luggage on his back and said.
Although the old man completely hid his aura, Yongjin was very sensitive and immediately sensed that the old man was an old assassin. His aura was imbued with the endless resentment of the people who had been killed.
“Huh? Your theory exists in real life, but it doesn’t apply to our bloody war. The prey hides to avoid the hunter’s arrows, and can only regain its freedom when the hunter gives up. It’s against the rules for the prey to show up at the hunter’s house. Even if it kills the hunter, it will have angered more hunters, so the prey will not live.”
The old man said.
Obviously, the old man knew Yongjin’s inner workings well. Yongjin had already avoided assassination by the bronze, silver, and gold-level assassins. Now, if he could only endure the assassination by the dark-level assassin, then according to the rules of bloody warfare, this mission would end in failure.
If the mission fails, Bloodstained War will never receive another mission to assassinate Yongjin again. That is why he is warning Yongjin.
If Yongjin does not follow the rules of the Blood War, no matter what the outcome today, Yongjin will be pursued by the world’s most fearsome assassination organization.
