The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 824 (824/880)
.
The so-called forces or groups exist innumerable within the Central Plains. Even the current Gupaebang and the Four Great Factions are forces.
The Murim Alliance itself, including them, was a force, and the Demonic Cult also had the same position.
What is important here is what role these forces play and what their intentions are.
To put it simply, is it a political party or a sect? That had to be considered first.
It was the same in my previous life.
Even back then, I saw a lot of guys with strange names.
To begin with, there were many things that called themselves sects or factions, but among them, the most problematic was… .
‘Those who call themselves a religious group.’
If there’s a big problem, it’s usually one of those guys.
People who follow something or are crazy addicted to it.
This isn’t all that strange.
Even if you look at the representative examples, such as shamans or Shaolin, which are called Taoist or Buddhist schools, it is the same.
It’s not strange to say that they are also a religious group, even though they only say that. Strictly speaking, you could say that they are doing quite well.
However, what I am talking about here is the crazy ones among those religious groups.
If there’s an accident, they’re the ones who get in trouble.
Just look at the Demonic Cult. Anyway, I’ve never seen a sane person among those with ‘Cult’ in their name.
In that sense.
‘Ilcheongyo?’
The feeling I just heard was incredibly cold.
Knock knock! Knock knock!
Flames flickered through the night air. A small building was engulfed in flames.
Of course, I was the one who started the fire.
I was burning everything to erase all traces of the men inside, and I stroked my chin while looking at the burning flames.
‘I feel uneasy.’
Those who approached the Gyecheonmun Gate. Or those who are plotting something with the Gyecheonmun Gate.
The name of those guys is Ilcheon-gyo… After hearing the name, I felt extremely uneasy.
‘The Gyecheonmun are the ones who gained something from Geumcheonyeonga’s secret in their previous life.’
Thanks to that, not only did Moonju’s realm rise rapidly, but he also became famous as a mine. At that time, he must have had a pretty cool coincidence. That’s what I thought.
‘What is it now?’
I dug up the secrets of Geumcheonyeon-ga. It wasn’t a great coincidence, like the fact that the realm of Gyecheonmunju had suddenly risen… Anyway, I was the one who discovered and obtained it.
But what is the current Moonju?
‘He was definitely not weak.’
It was much higher than the known realm. I could feel it when I saw it.

‘It looked like he was a junior in high school.’
It wasn’t just any ordinary scenery. It had a much more stable and powerful energy.
How could that be, when you clearly didn’t get any notes?
‘After all, it means that there is something.’
While I was wondering what it was, the name of Ilcheongyo made me think of many things.
The story of Geumcheonyeonga, which Gyecheonmun got in his previous life.
And one thousand.
There is only one sky.
The name is either a coincidence or fate… It is the name of the head of the Geumcheonyeon family. And it is the name of the man who was called a hero for preventing a bloody disaster at the time.
Because it was like Yeonilcheon, the best in the world.
Moreover, it was enough to get on my nerves.
******************
A day has passed since the people called Ilcheon-gyo were burned to death.
Since we couldn’t kill them all and it wasn’t even the main base, we had to expand the search area a bit.
If there’s just a problem.
‘The point is that it’s difficult for me to move.’
It’s a bit of a stretch to search for it yourself.
Of course, this part is not a big problem since there is a dark king… .
‘It’s a bit much to leave everything to that gentleman.’
It’s extremely awkward to keep ordering a one-armed gentleman around.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I can search for it… .
‘Because I’m not good at searching.’
If you break everything and look for it after it’s all over, you won’t know.
It didn’t suit my nature to sneak around and figure things out one by one. I could do it if I had to, but… it’s actually easier if someone better than me takes charge of it.
‘Wow.’
Yeah, let’s think positively.
‘Besides… . For some reason, it seems like the Dark King wants to do it too.’
When I heard the name Ilcheongyo, the Dark King was also there. After that, the Dark King seemed to have something on his mind and started talking about going a little deeper.
It was comfortable because I stepped forward and said I had to do it.
‘Use it.’
Knock knock. He tapped the table and frowned.
“I’m sure there’s something there….”
There’s something. Something that’s getting on my nerves.
But I’m not sure what that something is.
It was still a very uncomfortable situation. I was deep in thought, trying to hide my lingering feelings.

dripping.
“Your Majesty.”
There was a presence outside the door.
“This is Moon Do-hyeok. May I come in for a moment?”
“Come in.”
A man comes in. It was Moon Do-hyuk, a member of Seongryongdae.
“What’s going on?”
“I came here to tell you about the status of the investigation.”
“ah.”
He nodded.
After permission was granted, Moon Do-hyeok carefully handed over the letter. When he accepted it and opened it, it contained information on the situation for the past few days.
“Hmm.”
I quickly read through it and asked Moon Do-hyeok.
“How many days is this worth?”
“It’s three days’ worth.”
“okay?”
Three days’ worth? I snickered when I heard that.
“Okay, I checked, so go ahead.”
“Do you have any further orders?”
“Nothing right now. For now, we’re just doing it like we are… Ah. Captain Moon.”
“yes.”
“If possible, please watch the movements of the Blue Dragon Corps.”
“Are you talking about Cheongryongdae?”
“Uh. Not in detail. Just a little.”
“insect….”
After Moon Do-hyeok left, he finally let out the laughter he had been holding back. After laughing for a while, he paused for a moment and his expression hardened.
“Ah… that’s funny.”
Crumpled up the letter and burned it immediately.
It disappears into ashes. Even though it is information, there is no need to keep it.
anyway.
“This is useless information.”
Because the information Moon Do-hyeok brought was useless fake information.
The information that three days’ worth were brought in may seem fine at first glance, but the information contained therein is completely meaningless.
The movements of the Gyecheonmun were recorded. The locations were identified. The movements of the personnel were also recorded.
“Hey.”

It was all fake. We knew for sure because we had what the Dark King had brought and what we had figured out ourselves.
What I’m saying is that although Moon Do-hyeok looks fine, all of his information is false.
“These kids.”
He’s spitting out curses, but his expression isn’t too bad.
Because I knew this would happen anyway.
If you were going to get the right information in the first place, you wouldn’t have had to hire these guys.
I could have investigated it myself or had someone I trusted do it.
But the reason I ordered this guy to do it was because I already had the correct information… .
‘Because this is easier to filter out.’
This method was convenient for some draws, so I made them do it anyway.
‘I didn’t know they’d do it so blatantly.’
But it was too blatant.
‘Could it be that I see better because I know the information?’
That may be the case, but whatever it is, this is not what’s important.
The important thing is.
‘There are some people who need to be filtered out.’
There are definitely guys that need to be caught in Seongryongdae.
This was especially true for Moon Do-hyeok, who had just come to deliver the letter.
The guy was from Cheongryongdae, of all places.
I heard that he was almost kicked out of Cheongryong University due to his poor performance.
It was a truly strange fate.
“Hmm.”
What should I do? I thought about it for a moment, then slowly got up.
I felt like there was probably a place to go.
*****************
The man who came out of Guyangcheon’s residence. Moon Do-hyeok walked while hiding his impatience.
As the noise subsided, his expression gradually became clear. You could tell just by looking at him that he was very nervous.
“Phew… phew.”
I hold my heartbeat and breathe deeply.
Moon Do-hyeok was afraid. He thought of the eyes of Guyangcheon that he had just seen.
“Ugh… .”
What kind of person’s eyes are so scary? Those slightly blue-tinged eyes were so sharp that they seemed to see through everything about him.
Those eyes that seem to know everything you do. Moon Do-hyuk slowly sighs as he recalls this.
Could it be that he was caught? That could be the case. Although his anxiety was rising, Moon Do-hyuk tried to suppress it and continued walking.
I walk a little further into the branch, avoiding people’s gaze. Then.

“You’re here.”
At the destination that Moon Do-hyeok was trying to go to, someone was already waiting.
Moon Do-hyuk, who saw that, immediately kneels.
It was much more polite and quicker than the attitude he had shown to Guyangcheon earlier.
“Oh, my lord, I see you.”
The middle-aged man nodded. It was the Ilcheong Sword.
Ilcheonggeom, who was looking at Moon Dohyeok, moved his hand slightly. At that moment, the surroundings shook.
Phew-! The wind blows and Moon Do-hyuk’s hair moves slightly.
It was amazing.
As the surroundings became quiet, Ilcheonggeom looked at him and asked.
“Did you have a good day at work?”
“Yes, yes…! I have definitely taken care of it as you said.”
As you said. Ilcheonggeom, who was focused on that part, smiles slightly.
“What was the Holy King’s reaction? Was he perhaps looking at you with suspicion?”
“At first, it seemed that way… Fortunately, it seems like they don’t have any particular suspicions.”
“okay?”
Ilcheonggeom reacts unexpectedly to Moon Dohyeok’s words.
“There was no response… .”
It was somewhat unexpected. Moon Do-hyuk added urgently to that appearance.
“And. I gave one order.”
“Oh, if that’s an order?”
“It was an order to monitor the movements of the Blue Dragon Corps.”
“Hmm.”
The movement of the Cheongryongdae. Ilcheonggeom opens his eyes strangely upon hearing that. It seems like they are also paying attention.
It was okay. It was a little too late to worry about it now.
“What should I do…?”
Moon Do-hyeok asked cautiously. Il-cheong-geom spoke to him calmly.
“Proceed as the King says.”
“Are you asking me to report on the Cheongryongdae?”
“Yeah. Just as it looks.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Just as you see. Moon Do-hyeok keeps nodding his head at those words. Il Cheong-geom smirked and patted his shoulder, seemingly satisfied with that sight.
“As expected, your understanding is really fast. We… We… .”
The moment when Moon Do-hyuk’s eyes lit up at the thought that someone recognized him.
“What was your name?”
Advertisements
At Ilcheonggeom’s words, his pupils sparkle for a moment.
“… This is Moon Do-hyeok.”
“Oh, right. I remember you, Captain Moon.”
“…”
“Please take care of me in the future. Do you remember what you have to do?”
“…yes.”
What he had to do. Moon Do-hyeok clenched his fists slightly as he thought about it. An inexplicable sense of anxiety rose up in him. So he asked Il-cheong-geom what he had been holding back.
“I, I… My Lord.”
“hmm?”
“Ma, if I finish this as you said… will you accept me back to Cheongryongdae?”
Ilcheonggeom’s eyebrows furrowed at Moon Dohyeok’s earnest question. It only lasted for a moment. Ilcheonggeom quickly regained his expression and smiled as he patted Moon Dohyeok’s shoulder.
“Then, didn’t I promise you? Once you finish this, you will return to Cheongryongdae… and I will even give you a proper position.”
Only then does Moon Do-hyeok’s expression brighten slightly at those reassuring words.
“Thank you…! I will work hard.”
“Okay, don’t worry about it. Just do your best at your assigned tasks. You know what? Tomorrow is important.”
“I’ll keep that in mind–!”
Moon Do-hyuk nods his head vigorously.
Ilcheonggeom took a step back as he saw that. Moon Dohyuk, who realized what it meant, got up.
“I will be going now, Your Majesty.”
“Good luck.”
“yes…!”
After that, Moon Do-hyeok leaves and disappears. Il Cheong-geom notices that there is no sign of life beyond the barrier.
“Tsk.”
He immediately clicked his tongue and made a face.
“Something trivial.”
A reaction that seemed to indicate that Moon Do-hyeok did not like it.
He expressed his annoyance without hiding it. The kind look he had been showing until just now was nowhere to be seen.
“How dare you say so.”
The former Blue Dragon agent who was in front of me just now. What was his name? Was it Moon Hyuk-do or Moon Do-hyuk? He was a guy I didn’t even need to remember properly.
But what did you say in front of yourself?
‘Are you really going to accept me when the work is done?’
Thinking about those words, Ilcheonggeom clicked his tongue again.
How dare someone who doesn’t even know the subject say something to me?
I was going to use it because it seemed like the perfect bait, but it seemed to crawl away once I gave it a chance.
I wanted to just throw it away, but… .
Advertisements
‘No… it doesn’t matter.’
Ilcheonggeom quickly changed his expression and thought about it.
If you think about it, it doesn’t matter, right?
It’s true that he said he would give me the position when I returned, so if I just handled things properly, he would really give it to me.
okay.
‘If I go back, that is.’
If only he could return to Hanam properly.
‘Once the bait catches a fish, you don’t need to use it again.’
That guy is no different, so it doesn’t matter.
Thinking like that, Ilcheonggeom turns his back and disappears.
Beyond the barrier that was lifted as the caster disappeared. Blue eyes were watching from afar.
Goyangcheon revealed his presence and captured the scene just now in his eyes.
“this….”
As I looked at the back of the growing Ilcheonggeom, I couldn’t help but feel troubled.
“Where should I place the grave?”
Where, how, and when should I ask?
It was a really fun problem.
