The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 786 (786/820)
“Is that really true?”
Ilcheonggeom asks back at Beomdong’s words.
The King is in a state of internal injury.
My ears perk up at the information he brings.
one.
“Yes, it’s true.”
“What evidence is there to prove that…?”
Contrary to the promising claims, there is insufficient evidence to support them.
Beomdong responds to those words.
“Your Majesty the Blue Dragon, do you know that there are gods around the space where the Holy King resides?”
“I know.”
Ilcheonggeom nodded.
It is already a well-known fact that Baekhwasangdan has Shin-ui as a guest and that he is staying in Hanam.
When they learned of this, the Maeng side immediately contacted Shinui.
The reason is, of course, that I did it in the hopes that they would blindly seize my residence…
Shinui resolutely rejected Meng’s request.
No, I would say that I asked the department store to be more specific.
This is no different from rejection.
Which top would accept the divine right and then pass it on to someone else?
Moreover, Baekhwasangdan is a somewhat ambiguous place to be seen as a friendly place.
Moreover, there was no way he would accept it, and in fact, he did.
‘If you’re going to hold onto the gods like that, it would be better to just hand them over.’
How much value did the divine being have in the Central Plains? Just the news that the divine being had appeared nearby would have caused several of the top clans to move, and it was impossible to know whether the clans and powerful families would move.
Despite having such faith, Baekhwasangdan did not take any particular action.
He literally gave me a place to live. That was the end of it.
Maeng thought about this.
‘The reason I put the god in the place is because someone at the top is in very poor health.’
But the result was as follows.
In reality, nothing has been revealed.
There have been reports of the gods often healing others, but there has been no information that they are doing anything with it.
Even if you want to know this information.
‘It’s difficult to access.’
The difficulty level was significantly higher when entering the place where the god was located.
In fact, we dispatched several informants, but rather than obtaining any information, we only caused damage.

‘They say he came back half-crippled or insane.’
It is said that no one lost their lives, but they returned with just as much damage.
This inevitably means that there is something in the place prepared by Baekhwasangdan.
The problem is.
‘There is no evidence to prove this.’
The point is that there is no evidence left behind.
I can’t even tell you that the Murim Alliance sent an informant to dig up the background.
Most of those who returned were out of their minds, so we couldn’t get any information.
Because of this, why is it like this?
‘They said that Baekhwasangdan was called Magul (魔窟).’
The current internal intelligence agency of the Maeng Party said that they call that place that way.
That’s the situation right now.
“You said you got some information from there.”
“you’re right.”
“…”
At Beomdong’s words, Ilcheonggeom’s eyebrows furrow slightly.
Is that true?
A question arises.
The Biryongdaeju suddenly obtained information from a place called Magul.
I have my doubts about this though.
‘There is no reason for the Dragon Lord to lie.’
Considering what Beomdong had done so far, there was no reason for him to lie.
“… Please explain in more detail.”
For that reason, Ilcheonggeom wanted to hear Beomdong’s words first.
“First of all… there was definite circumstantial evidence.”
“conditions?”
“Yes, the King has been in a fierce battle recently. It is the aftereffect of the summoning of demons by the descendants of the Zhuge family.”
“…”
The Sapha people who attacked Hanam last time.
In Maeng, they were simply grouped together as Sapains and spread to the world.
I also included information about the Zhuge family, but I made the explanation a bit confusing, making it difficult to understand.
Because of that, only the Safains and the Demonic Cult remain in people’s minds now.
Research is still ongoing regarding the monster summoning they did.
“The monster summoned at that time was of the white rank. It was a monster that had only been mentioned in distant history.”
A living disaster that existed hundreds of years ago.

The monsters summoned by Zhuge Jia were monsters of the highest rank, and as if the words referring to them were true, they turned the entire Hanam area into a wasteland.
“The one who confronted such a monster head-on was none other than the Holy King. As the Blue Dragon Lord saw later, the Holy King’s physical condition wasn’t all that good.”
“…”
At Beomdong’s words, Ilcheonggeom immediately recalled his memories.
The day of the attack by the 100-level monster. It was around the time when the Holy King, who had caught the monster, arrived at Maeng.
At that time, Ilcheonggeom faced Seongwang.
Even at first glance, the King’s condition was not good.
I guess it wouldn’t be strange if I collapsed at any moment.
It was a body that was surprising just by standing on two legs.
“What’s more, this happened after the fight with the Tao King. Moreover, his condition must not be good.”
“…”
That sounds reasonable.
The accuracy is as clear as Beomdong’s words. This meant that, to anyone who saw it, the King’s condition was not good.
“That’s just a guess. There’s no hard evidence like I mentioned earlier.”
“Yes. That’s why I’m telling you that I sent an informant to confirm it.”
“Confirmation?”
“Last night. I saw the Holy King coming and going from the divine residence.”
“…!”
Ilcheonggeom’s eyes narrow at Beomdong’s words.
The holy king came and went from the place of the gods.
At those words, Ilcheonggeom caresses the corner of his mouth with his hand.
Seeing this, Beomdong continued speaking.
“As you may know… The King is the son of the current Lord of the Highborne. Since it is the Lord of the Highborne’s residence, there should be no problem with coming and going. But isn’t the situation strange?”
“… Hmm.”
Many thoughts crossed my mind.
As a result, Beomdong’s words had no real evidence whatsoever.
As he continues to note, the circumstances were the problem.
After the fight with the King of Dowagers, he fights against the demons and goes to the place of the gods.
‘That alone isn’t enough, though.’
The Ilcheonggeom that I was thinking about suddenly remembered the situation just before.
Golden Dragon Pearl and Iron Dragon Pearl.
I’m talking about the actions of the king who was confronting those two.
‘That was definitely a cold sweat.’
The moment the Ilcheonggeom blocked it, the King wiped away the cold sweat that was flowing down his face.
His expression didn’t look particularly difficult, but…

‘I wonder if he really is injured.’
The moment I entered the cave.
It was the same even when I was fighting with myself.
The Holy King came closer and grabbed his sword to prevent him from drawing it.
At that time, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. But I could clearly feel the Ilcheonggeom within it.
‘My spirits were shaken.’
I mean, the energy of the Holy King was strangely shaking inside.
That’s not something that can be done intentionally.
I have never seen anyone in my life who could artificially make someone tremble like that.
If that’s possible.
‘That would be a monster, not a human.’
An action that even the three deities who are said to be close to God cannot do.
Knowing this, Ilcheonggeom began to sympathize with Beomdong’s logic.
but.
“Why are you telling me this?”
How could the Biryongdaeju give him this information now?
This was the biggest question.
“I see, it seems like he mentioned it directly. I don’t think he will tell his superiors.”
“…”
Beomdong nods his head at Ilcheonggeom’s words.
“That’s right. If the Blue Dragon Lord doesn’t want it, then there’s no need to report it to me.”
“…”
“There is no particular reason why I am giving you this information now.”
Beomdong, who was continuing his speech, his eyes light up.
“Because I don’t like the King Seongwang like the other lords. Also, I thought the Blue Dragon Lord might need this information right now.”
“…under.”
Hearing that, Ilcheonggeom burst into laughter.
“If he had suffered internal injuries, they would have been quite deep. According to the words of the unmanned man who was involved in the battle with the monster at the time, he even collapsed, spitting up blood.”
How should I take this?
I wonder what Beomdong’s real intention is in saying this to me.
I wonder if he is talking about the King’s internal affairs in this way because he wants me to do something.
I was caught up in all kinds of worries.
“…”
After that, Ilcheonggeom covered my mouth and remained silent for a long time.
“…I heard the story well.”
Advertisements
He spoke to Beomdong with a slightly dark expression on his face.
“I think you have something to think about. You may leave now.”
“…All right.”
At Ilcheonggeom’s words, Beomdong stands up without hesitation.
Then, just as I was about to go out the door.
“Blue Dragon Pearl.”
“…Please speak.”
“As you asked earlier. If Your Majesty does not wish it, I do not intend to report this matter to my superiors. What do you think?”
That’s what Beomdong asked.
“…”
Ilcheonggeom answered the question in a breathy voice.
“For the time being… I don’t think I need to report it. I’ll tell you separately once I’ve finished thinking about it.”
“…All right.”
After hearing the answer, Beomdong slightly bows his head and goes out the door.
After walking and walking calmly like that, I finally got far enough away from the Ilcheong Sword.
“Whew… Whoosh…!”
Beomdong collapsed in a place where no one could see him.
Gulp.
The cold sweat I had been holding in runs down my chin.
Droplets of water dripped down the floor.
Beyond that, Beomdong had to catch his breath with his eyes wide open.
“What the… What the… .”
As I touch one arm with my trembling hands, I feel a goosebumps running down my spine.
It had to be that way.
-There’s only one thing you have to do.
-After about an hour has passed, go find Ilcheonggeom.
The reason Beomdong went to find Ilcheonggeom was none other than because of King Seongwang and Guyangcheon’s words.
-You’re probably really angry. Don’t worry about it and just say what I tell you. You’re from the intelligence service, so you’re good at memorizing things, right?
Goo Yang-cheon injected some words into Beom-dong.
No matter what Ilcheonggeom says, just answer like this.
After hearing that, Beomdong simply started talking as he was told.
And soon after, you are in for a surprise.
‘What the…. What the heck?’
Whatever Ilcheonggeom said, it matched well with the answer he had memorized.
There may have been some differences, but everything he said was correct.
Advertisements
-Ask before you go out.
Finally.
-Can I report to the higher-ups? There. If Ilcheonggeom answers like this, it’s a success.
-On the top.
“Don’t report for a while… .”
Guyangcheon’s voice and Ilcheonggeom’s answer overlap.
Beomdong had to wipe away the cold sweat repeatedly at the resonating words.
‘What the heck?’
How did this situation come about?
Beomdong’s eyes fluttered in disbelief at the situation.
At the same time, fear creeps in.
I wonder what kind of being has captured me.
My thumping heart tightened up around my neck.
If anything, I just wanted to tell Ilcheonggeom everything and hide.
Why not ask Ilcheonggeom for help and quickly take my daughter and hide?
But those worries keep coming to mind.
In the end, Beomdong was unable to make that choice.
Because my instincts kept telling me.
You must not disobey him. You must not make a different choice.
Instinct screamed, and this was the result.
‘…I am….’
I wonder if I made a good choice.
This is clearly an act of betrayal.
Still, is he okay?
It seemed like I was gradually being enveloped in thick darkness.
At that time, Beomdong was trembling like that.
[Confirmed.]
“…!!”
Suddenly, a sound passes Beomdong’s ears.
I immediately raised my head and looked around.
“What…? Who are you?”
[I have confirmed that the order has been carried out. I will inform the master.] [Thank you for your hard work.]
“No–!! Who are you talking about!!”
Beom-dong, terrified, kept screaming, but the woman’s voice could no longer be heard.
dump.
The legs of the confirmed victims are released.
“… Nonsense… .”
Advertisements
Was he watching himself carry out his orders?
“ha ha ha.”
So it means that in the first place, it is a situation where betrayal is not even possible.
Beomdong covered his face with trembling hands.
I had to just shake my body for a moment.
*****************
The moment when you return to your residence after leaving the blind.
As I was sitting quietly in my room, looking at the pond, someone spoke to me.
“Master.”
I turned my head at the familiar voice and saw Nahi kneeling next to me.
As soon as the gaze turned to Nahi, she immediately added.
“I have come to tell you as you said.”
He nodded at the report.
“I couldn’t get close because of the Ilcheonggeom’s energy. But as you said, I conveyed the message when the Seomgum appeared.”
“Well done.”
“However… I haven’t been able to confirm whether Seomgum actually carried out his orders….”
Nahee tells me as if she’s worried. I just chuckle at her words.
“Okay. You were going to do it anyway.”
“…”
There is no way Beomdong would have made a different choice.
“That guy is so narrow-minded.”
The guy who runs the intelligence agency doesn’t know how to see the forest for the trees.
No, he was a guy who could see the forest a little, but couldn’t read his own situation properly.
I am sure.
‘That’s why I was such a cripple in my previous life.’
He won’t be able to disobey me.
“So, just leave it like that.”
“…All right.”
This much is adequate for now.
The swordsman will be terrified as he sees the rope gradually heading towards his neck.
That fear had to be maximized endlessly.
Make it rise like that.
‘It explodes at the end.’
So miserably and humiliatingly.
It was clear that Beomdong’s final ending had to be like that.
Advertisements
‘Beomdong, this is enough.’
Now the question is….
‘When will the Ilcheonggeom get to work?’
Although it was easy to bite the sprinkled bait, biting it wasn’t the end.
‘I mean, the Ilcheonggeom is a bit big.’
The guy is such a big fish that if you pull on him right after he bites, the line will break.
In order to catch the guy, it was important to make him lose more strength.
‘Let’s see… this part.’
There are still many ways to use it, so think about it some more.
We have to head to Maeng again tomorrow, so let’s make plans for that.
So I made that decision and rested my chin on my hand.
“Master.”
Suddenly, I turned my head again at Nahi’s call.
“why.”
“I have a second report to make.”
“hmm?”
Report. The information I wanted is finished. It’s something I want to convey to you personally.
‘What is it? Is it Ji-seon… or Je-gal-hyeok?’
When you start to wonder what it is, Nahi gives you the answer.
“It is said that the elder of the Gu family has arrived in Hanam.”
“…huh?”
An unexpected answer came.
“You’re an elder?”
“Yes. This is the news I just heard… Master?”
Nahi looks at me with her eyes wide open.
He seemed surprised by the sudden action.
“… Where are you going?”
He asked cautiously with those eyes.
At those words, I said as I quickly packed my bags.
“Where are you going?”
Why are you asking such an obvious question?
“It has to jump out.”
“…”
Nahi made an unusually dumbfounded expression at my answer.
