There is such a saying.
Organizing the conversation (organizing the words of a person), writing a book about the old character (去者必返).
In every meeting there is a parting, and if there is a departure, there is always a return.
And at this moment, I was staring with wide eyes, remembering that old saying.
I saw two people coming towards this place from afar, squeezing through the darkness that had fallen everywhere and the monsters scattered around.
“Here you go! “Here we come!”
“How many times have I told you not to scream like that… … no. “Just do what you want.”
“yes! thank you!”
“I’m going to go crazy.”
The sight of a young man jumping up and down as if he had springs on the soles of his feet and a boy sighing like an old man at the sight may be a very strange sight to some.
But I, or very few people including myself, already knew the identities of those two people.
Among them, especially the young man jumping excitedly in front. Even if you only saw him once, he was the owner of an unforgettable tension.
“… … Cheongpung?”
At those two words that slipped out of my lips without me even realizing it, the people who had been dazed by the incident that happened to the monsters earlier blinked.
“Maybe if it’s Cheongpung.”
“Woe, Hwasan God Dragon (華山神龍)?”
The reaction was immediate.
At the same time, I had a close relationship with him that I recognized right away, and at the same time, in a situation like this, there was only one person who could turn the whole world upside down and shake off the whole world.
Of course, there were also those who raised valid questions.
“I can’t see you because I’m so far away. Isn’t it possible that the leader is mistaken? Why did Cheongpung Sohyeop suddenly appear here? … .”
When Hyuk Mu-jin spoke in an uncharacteristically cautious tone, a clear voice rang out through the pitch-black darkness.
“Euneeeein!”
“… … That’s right.”
“… … “That’s right.”
“… … As soon as I heard it, I lost my mind. “I’m sure it’s him.”
This is almost like a fingerprint.
It was at that time that all verification procedures were completed with Hyuk Mu-jin and me, followed by Jeok Cheon-gang.
“Benefactor! “I’m here!”
With the cry that drove the final wedge in, the blue wind that rushed in like a gust of wind waved at me with a flushed face.
“Wow, it’s been so long! How have you been?”
How on earth should I react to this?
For a moment, I looked blankly at the first-time villain in front of me with a mixture of confusion and joy, and then barely opened my mouth.
“No, not at all.”
“oh. Actually, it seems that way.”
“Then why did you ask?”
“I haven’t been doing well for a while. But my benefactor hoped things would be different, hehe.”
Seeing Cheongpung continue his gloomy words with a cheerful tone, I realized how I should react at this moment.
To be precise, I burst out laughing without even realizing it.
“Oh, why are you smiling?”
“You call that a question? “I’m sure you’re laughing because you’re so dumbfounded.”
This is not my answer.
Okay.
The boy who appeared from the darkness with the appearance of a ghost, no, the greatest assassin of all time, stared straight at me and added,
“Of course, that guy is a formidable thunderbolt.”
Blunt tone as always.
But when I saw the faint smile on his lips, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud instead of answering.
It was our first encounter in several months.
* * *
Meeting people I wanted to see is always happy and enjoyable.
But none of us were stupid enough to sit in front of a campfire and tell wild stories in this situation.
“It would be best to get out of here quickly first. “Follow me.”
Even before the lingering feeling of leaving was completely gone, Salseong, who wiped the smile off his face as if he had never done that before, immediately moved.
“Throw away anything that might be even the slightest bit of a burden right away. Especially that jerk over there.”
The idiot who was singled out by Salseong, no, Jeongho, answered.
“I don’t know what kind of old person you are, but please observe the minimum level of courtesy. I am the Heavenly Commander of the Jingui Committee, who follows the orders of His Majesty the Emperor… … .”
Whoosh.
It was literally an instant.
Salseong’s new form became blurred for a moment.
And then, along with the sound of the wind, a blue sword touched the nape of Jeongho’s neck.
“Keep talking. “If you delay it any longer, I will make you a truly deceased person.”
The loyalty of King Jeong Ho and his subordinates to the Emperor is so great that everyone, including me, can acknowledge it.
But reality is cruel.
Unlike the emperor, who was somewhere far away, Jeongho, who was staring at Sodo, who was so close, parted his lips with a heavy face.
“As I said before, the main building is the Cheonho of the Jinui Committee, which follows the orders of His Majesty the Emperor… … However, since you seem to have a close relationship with Sang Sanhu, who is here, I will bear with it.”
Salseong responded in a dry tone to an extremely ugly excuse for a Geum-eui position.
“We’re not that close.”
“It seems somewhat one-sided, so I’ll put up with it.”
“Of course we meet each other, but we are not close.”

“… … .”
“Just be patient. Do you understand?”
“… … .”
“I take it you answered.”
When Salseong, who had protected his last pride as a strongman, withdrew his sword, most of the 3,000 soldiers were looking at him with eyes filled with astonishment.
No matter how high the score was, the boy, who did not meet the terms, defeated Geumuiwi Cheonho, who had reached the end of his climax.
And at a speed so fast that it is invisible to the eye, all at once.
Everyone was surprised by the unbelievable sight that unfolded before their eyes, but the shock felt by Hyeon Cheon-jin in particular seemed to be greater than expected.
“Help… … “Who on earth are you?”
The scenery you see changes depending on where you stand.
Hyeon Cheon Jin-in, who was already a skilled transcendental master, was a talented person who could vaguely infer Sal Seong’s true state, and Gung Seong opened his mouth on behalf of him, who was unable to speak easily due to doubt and shock.
“long time no see. “I never thought I would meet you again like this.”
Like Gungseong, Salseong, who saw through the other person’s identity, responded with a bitter smile.
“I am an alumnus. “I thought we would never meet again after that day.”
“The rivers and mountains have changed, and the world has also changed. “I had to step forward to turn everything around.”
As the surrounding conversation became more and more suspicious, Gungseong added softly.
“A killing star, just like you did.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
For an instant, the surrounding air rang.
Salseong.
He was once the object of criticism from all over the world, but after the outbreak of the Great Demon War, he was the greatest assassin of all time and modern times who made many great demon heads tremble with fear.
Those two words were enough to fully explain and convince everyone of the current situation.
And Salseong, who nodded slightly towards the palace, parted his lips towards the people who had frozen like stone statues.
“So, is there another idiot who wants to waste this precious time?”
Of course, it couldn’t have happened.
To be exact, even if it was there, it shouldn’t have been there.
At least, if the nickname of the person who asked that question is Salseong.
Clap, clap!
At that time, when Jeong Ho-gun and other members of the Geumui Committee were quickly taking off their armor and throwing away their armor like reservists who had just finished mobilization training and returned home, Salseong’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
“But what on earth does that thing do?”
I turned my head to follow Salseong’s gaze and immediately realized the meaning behind those words.
Why did he refer to humans with intact limbs as objects?
“What can I say, that guy is a bit mentally unstable.”
“… … “I’m feeling that enough already.”
At some point, Salseong sighed as he looked with bleary eyes at Daein, who was happily taking off his top and bottom, naturally blending in among the members of the Geumuiwi.
“I’ll have to listen to the details to find out, but it seems clear that another crazy person has been added.”
Of course, the existing crazy guy was admiring the physical beauty of the new crazy guy right next to him.
“and! “I’ve never seen anyone take off their clothes so boldly!”
Daein, who was about to take off his underwear but was stopped by Jeongho, noticed Cheongpung and his eyes lit up.
“Thank you for the compliment. But who are you?”
“hello! “My name is Cheongpung!”
“It’s nice to see you so brave. “The original woman is said to be Sunja.”
“i look forward to. madam!”
no.
Are they really crazy bastards?
At a time when everyone was shocked by the meeting of two natural disasters that should never happen once in a hundred years, Salseong shook his head and opened his mouth.
“Okay, let’s get going now.”
And in Salseong’s hands, there was a rope that stretched far into the distance.
“What is that?”
“booty.”
* * *
To conclude, there was no further pursuit by the enemies.
No, it might be more correct to say that it was there but not there.
“Go first. “I will follow you soon.”
Salseong left the place several times with those words, and each time he returned on time, his body always had a foul smell of blood in it.
And when nearly two full days had passed, Salseong said this.
“It’ll be less annoying from now on.”
There was no one among the 3,000 or so allies, including me, who did not know that this meant that they had shaken off Amcheon’s persistent pursuit.
In addition, the fact that Salseong was able to deal with his pursuers so quickly and how he defeated ten thousand monsters was not due to Daein, but to the actions of him and Cheongpung.
“Eup, eup.”
A trophy whose entire body is tied with rope. No, when the man in black wriggled, Taesan, who was running with him at his side like a piece of luggage, raised a fist as big as a pot lid.
“Don’t move. “I hit you.”
“town. Ugh!”
“Don’t make a sound. eat.”
“… … !”
It was a bit strange for a threat, but it was very effective.
The man in black immediately became quiet as if dead, and our troops, who had continued the harsh forced march without rest for several days, were soon able to escape the terrible wilderness.
And what was waiting for us was a huge lake that we had never seen before and a group of beggars gathered around it and making a bonfire.
It also includes a very familiar face.
“Oh, it’s here. “Here, here!”
Even when seen from a distance, the face looks so vintage that you automatically reach for your wallet.
It was Gung Gi-bang, the king of the next generation who would lead the 100,000 beggars.
