The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 776 (776/820)
The first thing I felt was the sound of my heart.
Thump-!
A vibration that seems the same as usual, but has become thicker somewhere.
Because of that, I found myself clutching my chest without realizing it.
A man’s back that appears to have no particular problems.
At first it didn’t bother me, but the more I looked at it, the more something started to bother me.
Thump-! Thump-!
The vibrations were getting stronger and stronger, strong enough to be felt even without concentrating.
‘under.’
I can’t help but laugh.
‘Yeah, you said it was too easy.’
Somehow, I felt like things were going too well as I had expected. Yeah, my life can’t be that easy.
He frowned, putting strength into his clenched chest.
Thump-!
The sound of my heart keeps getting louder, and the sensation locked inside my body starts to stir.
Woohoo!
A sound that only I could hear spread to my ears as tinnitus.
“Hoooo.”
I try my best to hold back my words in case they are heard.
My rough breathing might reach him.
-You mean the Dragon Lord?
-Is that the new Dragon Lord?
– Then what happens to the martial arts?
The Dragon Lord said that he would seat the winner of the martial arts competition.
Who the hell is that guy?
As everyone was wondering, Geomseon spoke as if explaining.
“I fully understand that you are surprised. Please believe me. The Lord of the Dragons I just introduced is an amazing person.”
It’s a different introduction from the plan without even knowing the identity.
All he said was that he knew I was surprised, but he asked me to trust him.
Of course, there was no one who viewed this favorably.
A vague excitement amidst the doubts and suspicions.
What is excitement in the midst of all this?
Does it feel like you’re looking favorably on the Lord of the Dragons even though you’re going to die soon?
‘What could it be?’

The swordsman continued to add explanations, but I could no longer hear them.
I was only busy looking at the guy called Shinryongdaeju.
A pounding heart and an instinctive feeling.
An energy that is not very precise, but at the same time feels clear.
The reason why I can be certain that this unknown guy is a blood demon.
‘Blood energy.’
The energy that the blood demon had placed in Jang Seon-yeon and Namgung Cheon-jun was in him.
I could feel the blood flow slightly.
It was so shallow that if you were not careful, you might just ignore it and pass it by.
Although it was spraying so finely, I could clearly feel it.
because.
‘I have that blood in me too.’
It would be correct to say that he came to the body of a dragon and his blood was assimilated into the flesh.
Now, it was closer to my energy than the blood demon’s energy. Thanks to that, I could feel the energy.
‘That guy has hot temper.’
The Shinryongdaeju introduced by Geomseon has blood energy, which means that there is a high possibility that he is a Blood Demon.
‘Not high, but certain level.’
Yeah, unless you’re human, there’s no way you’d feel that energy.
Then, another question arises here.
‘Who is it?’
The question is, who is that guy?
Who on earth is it that such a strong person suddenly appeared as the Dragon Lord?
‘You can’t tell just by looking at the body.’
The form of his gait and muscles. Just by looking at that, you can tell that he is a swordsman.
Honey, if it’s someone like that, you should be able to tell just by looking at their face.
‘I can’t even see your face.’
Even that can’t be identified because he’s wearing a mask.
‘Should I check it out?’
To figure this out, I think I’ll have to go to the gigam and check beyond.
‘It’s dangerous.’
It was too much of a gamble.
You can tell at a glance that it’s not just a mask.
It probably had a similar effect to the mask I used when I disguised myself as a demon.
Even if not, it was dangerous to use the machine gun right away.
‘If you try to see it at that level, you’ll get caught.’

If you express your curiosity by expressing it, there is a high probability that the other person will notice.
So there was only one thing that could be determined from now on.
‘That guy is a Blood Demon.’
I already knew that the Blood Demon was reaching out to the Murim Alliance.
In fact, it was even stranger that he didn’t show up even though he had caused this much trouble.
‘Perhaps it’s a good thing.’
It would be strange to say that it is fortunate.
Surprisingly, the inside is comfortable.
‘If you don’t show up, it will be difficult.’
The other person must also come out properly in order to understand.
If I didn’t do anything, it would be difficult for me to make a plan for what to do.
So, while the bastard’s appearance complicated my mind, it also provided me with an opportunity.
‘Because it’s become clear that it exists.’
The blood horse is reaching out to the sect.
The guy is moving with some intention.
Now that that’s certain, it’ll be easier to navigate the future.
‘…after.’
Set your goals.
The reasons why I took on the trouble of taking on the position of general manager included this.
‘The problem is.’
I understand that, but what exactly is your intention?
at the same time.
‘He knows something about me.’
Since the Blood Demon side is aware of my existence, there is a high probability that they are aware of the current situation.
‘If I do that, will you take some action?’
Maybe, this is what he was doing now.
Thump-.
Thump-.
My heart is pounding and my head is spinning. All kinds of thoughts are rushing in.
“If a crisis like this comes again in the future… .”
The swordsman’s repeated words were still not heard.
My gaze was fixed solely on the Dragon Lord.
After watching it like that for a while.
Swish-!
‘…!’
Advertisements
Daejoo’s gaze suddenly turned this way. That’s why our eyes met for a moment.
A gaze that is not easily visible because of the mask. But after a moment, he immediately looks away.
As I briefly looked into his eyes, I had to recall a strange feeling.
‘what.’
The eyes of the Shenlongdaiju that I saw for a moment.
It was a gaze that seemed somehow familiar.
It’s as if I’ve seen it somewhere before.
******************
Immediately after the funeral.
As people began to disperse, countless pieces of information began to circulate.
-The legend of the Murim Alliance. The strategist Mokyeon has returned.
A genius of great skill who led the golden age of Maeng together with Geomseon.
Now in his old age, Mo Yan, who was called a living legend, returned to his position after hearing of Meng’s crisis.
He showed up at the funeral in person and proved that the rumors were true.
Many people responded positively to this.
It can’t be helped.
He achieved an overwhelming victory in the first war between the Murim Alliance and the Sapa in Guangdong in the past, and suppressed the Sapa’s momentum by fighting against the Lonely Dragon and the Sword.
After that, he continued to lead and win numerous wars.
A person who somehow managed to achieve victory even in a disadvantaged situation.
A living witness to the myth of undefeatedness.
Because there was a sword, the blind were strong.
Because of Silence, Meng is not defeated.
This is a saying that was prevalent in the Central Plains during the heyday of the Murim Alliance.
When it was said that such silence would come down from the position of a scribe along with the retirement of Geomjon, many people expressed their regret.
If they leave, it means that there is concern about the future of the alliance.
‘It’s really starting to get a bit tricky, just like the saying goes.’
It seems that the worries were true. In fact, the Murim Alliance began to gradually decline shortly thereafter.
The person who rose to the position of leader after Geomjon.
Jangcheon, the “fun sword”, had decent political and administrative skills, but he was just average.
Compared to the times when it was considered brilliant, it was evaluated as somewhat poor.
Honestly, it wouldn’t have been that bad.
Even if the strength gradually weakened, maintaining it was an impossible figure.
Because of that, it can be said that he was not a bad leader even if he was defeated.
one.
‘It was difficult to take on the work that my superior had done.’
Advertisements
Was this a problem that existed during the Kenjon era?
Or maybe Nakgeom did something wrong.
Or maybe it was just bad timing.
The Murim Alliance was becoming more and more shaken day by day.
The shaking comes from a series of past events that have taken place over the years and have now reached the present.
Of course, it is ambiguous to say that this is the fault of the fallen sword.
‘Even if it was a swordsman, it would have been difficult to recover.’
What can you do when it’s not your fault and everything is exploding?
Anyway, after that, Nakgeom stepped down from his position for various reasons and Geomseon took the position of the next leader… .
‘This guy is the unluckiest.’
The most pitiful one at this point was the swordsman.
Accidents that cannot be resolved when the sword is dropped and things that others cause.
and.
‘I’m going to have a lot of accidents in the future.’
He was going to work hard to further improve his plans. Geom-seon was going to be the leader who suffered the most in the history of the Murim Alliance.
Or, you could become the most incompetent leader.
It wasn’t expected, but I still hear that kind of sound often.
In that situation.
‘Silence will have a great influence on public sentiment.’
The reemergence of a legendary figure was a perfect way to give people hope.
Wouldn’t the current messy situation be fixed if we were silent?
People will certainly believe that.
In reality, most people believe that.
‘Is this something that Mukyeon planned himself?’
I don’t know that old man very well. I had a feeling it might be like that.
Because it was a method that could be used sufficiently by a person who knew his worth well.
There.
-You said that the Holy King would lead the Seongryongdae and prepare for battle with Sapa?
Those who made a mess of Hanam through raids.
He mentions that he will hunt them all down and prepare for revenge.
Since I became famous, I got involved and it was like pouring firewood on a fire made of ashes.
Hanam’s work was Sapa’s fault.
Not only will King Seong save Hanam, he will also fight Sapa.
This means that our enemy is Sapa.
Clearly, this was an action carried out with this intention.
Advertisements
Don’t confuse the enemy. It’s not the Murim Alliance, it’s the Sapa.
It seems like that’s what the Murim Alliance wanted to say… .
‘It works, funny enough.’
This kind of ridiculous trick worked so well.
When I tied up Mukyeon and me and spat it out, people’s perceptions began to change.
‘The real enemy is Sapa.’
Those who had been thrusting their spears at the incompetent Murim Alliance soon turned their attacks towards Sapa.
There were still some who said that it was Maeng’s fault and that we should not get swept away.
-Are you even going to defend those damn Sapa guys?
-Damn it!! If those guys hadn’t attacked in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened!
As ideologies changed, division and disintegration occurred.
Looking at that, I couldn’t help but express my admiration.
‘As expected, it’s not easy for the gentlemen who have been rolling around in the political world.’
Do you know what the easiest and most accurate way to turn public opinion in politics is?
Instead of turning the spear tip coming at them somewhere else.
‘Making them aim at each other.’
The goal was to make them fight each other and cause casualties on our side.
‘Incitement is a scary and yet very easy thing.’
The method I used was ultimately agitation.
The method used by the Murim Alliance this time will probably be no different.
‘What a pity.’
Honestly, I knew this would happen.
If only it had burned a little more, things would have been easier afterwards… but it didn’t.
‘There.’
He even interfered in the affairs of the Shinryongdaeju as if he was stabbing a dragon in the eye.
-Maeng definitely seems to be up to something.
-The revival of the Shinryongdae… This really means we will be able to find peace again.
-If only you could do as much as Shinryongdae! That wouldn’t be too difficult either!
The words that were burning at the time are now being replaced by other things.
Looking at this situation, I let out a short sigh.
The reason for the sigh is none other than this.
“I should have been more aware.”
It was a regret for myself.
“If I had done that, I could have cut it more effectively.”
I should have dug into the silence more.
Advertisements
If possible, we should have figured out a way to kill him before he reappeared.
‘I should have known about the Shinryongdae too.’
Since Geomseon used the Shinryongdae talisman by using the martial arts system, he should have studied the value of the Shinryongdae.
Of course, it’s not that I didn’t prepare, but if this is the result, it’s just an excuse.
“Tsk.”
If it’s a failure, then it’s a failure.
Even if it wasn’t a mistake, it was a painful blunder.
‘Isn’t it… . If you look at it one way… .’
Maybe this isn’t the only problem.
If we are to examine the problem in this process, isn’t there one thing that is most certain?
‘I don’t have enough strength.’
The power to resolve any problems that may arise.
For me, that’s simply not enough.
Knock knock.
He bit his teeth and frowned.
‘I’m still weak and lost.’
I realized it again while fighting a hundred-level monster.
Today, the need is recognized once again.
He regained his mastery at an age a dozen years earlier than in his previous life.
The body is better than before and its usability is much more precise, but it is not satisfactory.
“It can’t go on like this.”
The goal was too high to be complacent.
Today’s work made it more certain.
“I have to get stronger.”
A barely-made low-level teenage master?
It’s impossible.
I had to go further.
Some people might frown upon hearing this and say, “What nonsense is this?”
“At least you have to reach the three heavenly realms.”
If you get there, you can do anything.
Kook.
He spat out the words and turned his bet on his body.
It hurts every time I turn it around.
It meant that the wound was slowly healing, but was still in the body.
Feeling this, I sat up.

“Okay, then.”
After the funeral, I gave a brief greeting to the others and then returned straight to my quarters.
There is also a reason why we need to learn about the Blood Horse and the Divine Dragon.
The bigger reason was that we recognized that the current situation was dangerous, so we had to find a way.
Fortunately for me, there was a way to do that.
A warehouse located within the residence.
I slowly approached it and stretched out my hand, looking at the items placed inside.
“…where.”
Sarak-!
When you remove the blanket covering it, you can see the things gathered inside.
There seemed to be a lot of large boulders.
A large rock surrounded by red light.
These are the magic stones of the red monsters we caught in the last raid.
To others, they are just rocks held by a monster, but to me, each and every one of them is no different from an incredible elixir.
Compared to Dokcheondan, Maseok is overwhelmingly superior in terms of cost-effectiveness.
There were dozens of such magic stones piled up.
of course.
‘Even if they eat, there’s nothing big for them.’
Because the betting hole has become so large, eating this red monster doesn’t make much of a difference anymore.
To be exact, it would be nothing more than replenishing used energy.
It didn’t matter.
‘It’s just dessert anyway.’
The red magic stone just followed.
This was not my intention.
Among the piled up red magic stones, a magic stone of different size is visible.
It was much larger and the color was different.
White stone.
It was a magic stone given by a hundred-level monster.
Traces of a monster that had been carefully preserved.
It contains an energy that cannot be compared to other English words.
“…”
I had to stop for a moment as I reached out.
There is so much of it that it is hard to eat.
It’s been a few days since the fight ended, and that means the magic stone has been stored for a long time, but there’s only one reason why I haven’t eaten it until now.
Because the energy was so vast, the body had to support it to digest it.
Advertisements
So, originally, I had planned to rest and eat safely for at least two weeks.
“… I’m saying it’s become a little difficult.”
Because I had a busy schedule, I felt like I had to eat quickly.
“Eating this won’t break your boundaries or anything.”
Maybe my injuries will heal to some extent.
It’s a shame to waste energy because my body isn’t in good shape, but it’s better to eat and watch right now, as is the case with the Shinryongdaeju.
After making that decision, I reached out my hand that had been stopped.
Bam.
Hands touch the white stone.
I feel a cold sensation.
Woohoo!
He immediately activated the Magic Heavenly Absorption skill.
At that moment.
Kuuuuuu—!!!
A tremendous amount of energy began to invade my heart.
