Episode 78. Unexpected Mission (4)
At the same time, Hyeolhwa’s eyes shook.
His own action of stabbing the sword into the begging bowl seemed to have lit the fuse.
I became even angrier at the thought that I had been fooled by Hanbin again.
You deciphered the Ilgakbicho you solved and released the Seven Poisons into it?
My teeth were chattering, but now the cancellation came first.
“Then give it to me quickly now.”
As Hyeolhwa reached out his hand, Hanbin untied the front of his uniform.
Seven bamboo tubes revealed in an instant.
Hanbin said.
“If you don’t detoxify within a day after the first poison attack, the second poison attack will occur. Even if you detoxify the first poison, if you don’t detoxify the second poison, the poison will… … after a week.”
While listening to Hanbin’s explanation, Hyeolhwa slowly reached out and tried to take the bamboo tube.
At that moment, Hanbin snickered and Hyeolhwa stopped his hand.
Hanbin pushed Hyeolhwa’s hand away with his index finger and continued speaking.
“The problem is that there is a certain order to the seven antidotes. If the order is wrong, you will know. The intervals also have to be right. The seventh antidotes are due in three years.”
At Hanbin’s words, Hyeolhwa stopped his hands.
Hanbin gave her one antidote when she lost consciousness and one when she woke up. Hanbin gave her two antidote pills in total.
Even those two antidotes were mixed in among the seven. That means, even if you steal those antidotes, there’s no guarantee that the order will be maintained.
Only Hanbin knew the order.
The final detox was said to be exactly three years later.
I thought I could understand why Heukcheon accepted the outcome of this bet.
However, one question remains.
“I have a question.”
“If I can answer, I will tell you.”
Hanbin nodded with a generous expression.
“How did you get in touch with Heukcheon in such a short time?”
“Hmm, why do you assume it’s a short time?”
“I fell asleep while the sunset was still there. The sunset is still there now.”
“Think carefully about the answer, because I will save it for the remaining four years of your life.”
“… … .”
Hyeolhwa tilted his head.
It was hard to believe that so much had happened in the time it took to have a cup of tea while I was asleep.
At that moment, Hanbin got up from his seat.
He walked brightly into the red sunset without saying a word to follow.
Hyeolhwado followed behind him without saying a word.
Gulp.
As a loud noise rang out from the ship, Hyeolhwa quickly stopped breathing.
Little did she realize that a whole day had passed by now.
Sipalho, who was watching the two disappear into the red pine forest, shook his head.
Then he looked at the luggage strewn behind him.
From yesterday until this morning, the assassins of Hanbin and Heukcheon fought their second fight following the decisive battle.
What decided the fight was Hanbin’s exquisite tactics and strategies.
The result was a crushing defeat!
The 18th thought they had stuck their heads into the tiger’s jaws.
You can fight a tiger and win, but sticking your head into its mouth is not a fight; it is suicide.
Sipalho watched the back of Hyeolhwa, who had sacrificed himself to save his subordinates, being dragged away by Hanbin, and pondered.
The subordinates who had gotten up before they knew it also lowered their heads as they watched Hyeolhwa being dragged away by Hanbin.
Someone bowed and said.
“I will not forget the sacrifice of the leader.”
“Loyalty!”
One of the Black Heaven’s assassins shouted, hitting his chest with his palm.
After a moment of silence, Sipalho quietly shouted to his subordinates.
“I’m going back.”
“Joe, your name.”
The subordinates answered in sobbing voices.
* * *
Despite the harsh gazes from behind, Hanbin walked along the mountain path with a calm expression.
At that moment, Hyeolhwa shouted from behind.
“Let’s take a little rest!”
This was the true heart of Heumhwa.
His body was not normal due to the poison he received from Hanbin.
Hyeolhwa tried to raise his internal energy, but he couldn’t raise even a single bit of it, perhaps because of the aftereffects of being poisoned.
The body of the blood flower that could not use its internal energy was not much different from that of a weak girl.
By Heukcheon’s order, I had to stay by Hanbin’s side for three years without moving.
An unexpected mission fell upon Hyeolhwa, but she was not one to just panic.
She wanted to set some boundaries in her relationship with Hanbin.
The line had to be in favor of Hyeolhwa.
When Hanbin stopped walking, Hyeolhwa made the most innocent expression possible.
Hyeolhwa knew that people were falling for this expression on his face.
If a girl who didn’t look even fifteen had such a pitiful expression on her face, it would be easy to ignore her even if you knew she was a murderer.
In this respect, Hyeolhwa was truly quick to change his stance.
The ideal relationship determined by blood type is that between an older brother and younger brother.
As expected, Hanbin approached Hyeolhwa with a kind face.
At that sight, Hyeolhwa gulped.
Hanbin, who had been walking slowly, pointed to the floor with his finger.
“Park Ah.”
The blood flow screamed at the emotionless tone of voice.
“oh!”
“Don’t add a chorus!”
At the sight of Hanbin smiling brightly, Hyeolhwa quickly walked away.
“Go, just go.”
* * *
Lunch the next day.
Hanbin arrived at the main gate of Cheonsujang.
At that moment, Joho, who was standing at the main gate, came running out like lightning.
“My lord, where on earth have you been? Do you know how worried we were when you didn’t come home yesterday?”
“It may be empty words, but thank you, Joho.”
“It’s not an empty promise. Since the lord didn’t come, we all stayed up all night.”
“You must have stayed up all night playing, right? Joho.”
“Oh, no. So… … .”
Joho waved his hand, trailing off.
“Don’t worry, I’m just joking. I just need to rest for a day or so.”
“That’s true,”
“Well, you can just roll around hard the next day.”
“My lord, my lord… … .”
Joho, whose words had been trailing off, looked at the blood flower next to Hanbin and his eyes lit up.
“Who is this little boy next to you?”
“This is the child who will be my maid from today.”
“A maid? I think she’s too young to be serving you.”
Joho tilted his head and looked at the blood.
No matter how many I caught, the girl who looked to be no more than fifteen years old was having shining eyes.
Of course, this was Joho’s mistake.
Hyeolhwa was approaching nineteen years of age.
It was a mistake because of his slightly small build and youthful appearance.
However, this was a touch on the bloodline’s sore spot.
Hyeolhwa suddenly looked at Joho.
In an instant, the bloodlust of the murderer enveloped Joho.
As he walked here, Hyeolhwa had recovered his internal energy.
For a moment, Joho had the illusion that a sword was flying towards him.
It seemed to stop a hand’s length from the nape of the black hawk’s neck.
Joho touched the back of his neck.
Fortunately, the neck was properly attached and the sword flying towards him disappeared.
Joho scratched the back of his head.
“I guess you overdid it yesterday. You showed this kid a bad side, phew.”
As Joho sighed, Hyeolhwa, who had collected his expression, spoke.
“No, it can happen when you’re tired, brother.”
“Ah, there’s no need to call me brother… … .”
“no.”
Joho asked as Hyeolhwa waved his hand.
“What is your name?”
At that question, Hyeolhwa looked at Hanbin.
As Hanbin nodded, Hyeolhwa spoke.
“It’s called a fairy tale.”
Seolhwa was a name that Hanbin and Hyeolhwa had come up with after discussion. If you said Hyeolhwa, no one could help but be suspicious.
Who would use the character “blood” in a girl’s name?
That’s why the name created was Seolhwa.
“Ah, your name is as cute as your face, little one.”
Joho laughed, ruffling Seolhwa’s hair.
Hyeolhwa, who was now called Seolhwa, barely hid his expression and shouted inwardly.
‘Don’t call me a kid, sweetheart!’
Of course, I didn’t say it out loud.
The life-blood of a story that bursts out in an instant!
“Huh?”
Joho swallowed his breath.
Although he had reached a first-class level, his murderous intent was difficult to handle.
Joho took a step back and looked at his hands.
Just now, Joho had a vision where it seemed as if a sharp blade was slicing through his hand.
This happened because of the momentum of the story.
Seolhwa supported Joho.
“Hey, are you okay, Brother?”
“It’s okay. I just don’t feel well today… … .”
Joho retreated, his words trailing off.
Hanbin chuckled at that sight.
Seol-hwa was more suited to performing in a play in a theater troupe rather than in a theater company.
That was Hanbin’s conclusion.
* * *
Hanbin, who passed the main gate of Cheonsujang, brought some snacks to Seolhwa.
Hanbin chewed on beef jerky while crossing Mt. Songhwa, but Seolhwa had not eaten for a day and a half.
Cheolno said after seeing the story of a man eating dumplings in a slurp.
“Hey, there’s still a lot, so eat slowly.”
“It’s okay, sir.”
When Seol-hwa answered in a loud voice while stuffing dumplings into her mouth, Han-bin smiled without realizing it.
Hanbin’s smile was definitely not a look that was meant for killing someone.
Why did Hanbin bring Seolhwa here?
It was a bit of a complicated issue.
Hanbin felt a strange feeling as he shared the story and the sword.
He decided to risk his life to check a few things about the story.
After that, Hanbin negotiated with Heukcheon and was able to confirm that Seolhwa was his former subordinate in his previous life.
The youngest member of the Demon Sword Squad that Hanbin was in charge of in his previous life.
She was Seolhwa.
One of the members who was struck down by the Justice Alliance’s sword in his stead.
That fact was reason enough to take her away.
When she came to the Swordsmanship Academy at that time, her appearance was completely different from now.
His face was scarred from the knife wounds and he was limping.
Moreover, his voice sounded like it had been ground into iron. This was because his vocal cords were damaged.
This is what Seolhwa looked like in her previous life.
For that reason, it took a long time for him to recognize her.
Perhaps, in the three years promised to Heukcheon, he would be able to avoid calamity.
Aside from that, there was another reason why I took her away.
Hanbin looked at Seolhwa’s forehead as she hurriedly ate the dumplings.
A dot indicating a wrinkle is visible on the forehead.
Hanbin picked up his chopsticks with a playful expression.
Then he poked his chopsticks towards that spot.
Seolhwa, who was eating dumplings, was startled and picked up an empty dumpling container to block it.
widely!
Cheolno’s eyes widened at the sight.
The expression on his face was asking if this child also practiced martial arts.
When Hanbin nodded, Cheolno’s eyes grew wider.
However, Hanbin did not take his eyes off Seolhwa.
The dot that had been rippling on Seolhwa’s forehead had now moved to another place.
This was the first time this had happened since I returned to the past and started seeing the ridges.
The dot indicating the knot is running away to avoid your own attack?
In a way, it was like meeting an impregnable goal.
The spell disappears from dead people and animals, so you have to take it while they’re alive, but what if the dot moves away?
Hanbin decided to put the story aside and study it slowly.
At that moment, Cheolno clicked his tongue and stopped Hanbin.
“Master, no matter how much you want to play a prank, it’s like that. They say even a dog doesn’t touch you while you’re eating, so how can you tease such a cute child?”
“Ah, Cheolno. I’m sorry.”
As Hanbin waved his hand and smiled, Seolhwa, who was watching the scene, smiled faintly.
It seems that ironclad was Hanbin’s weakness.
If I could just conquer the iron gates, I thought I could have a comfortable stay at Cheonsujang.
At that moment, Hanbin looked at Cheolno and nodded.
“I told you to bring something other than dumplings.”
“Oh, of course I have prepared it, Your Majesty.”
“Then please spread it out.”
“Yes, I understand, Your Majesty.”
Cheolno placed the bundle on the table, avoiding the place where the dumplings were.
Then he quickly unpacked his bags.
Chorus.
When I opened the bundle, a pen and ink appeared there.
