– A quest has been created.
[Invitation of the Lord of the Castle]
Those with a high reputation tend to be followed by interest.
The owner of a castle in Shanxi Province, who has heard rumors about the Shanxi Jamrong, invites you to a luncheon with the future exponents tomorrow.
Rating: Third-class Mission: Attending a luncheon hosted by the lord of the castle (unfinished) Restrictions: Taekyung Jin Reward: Depends on the lord’s reaction.
Failure: The lord of the castle is very depressed.
– Do you accept the quest?
Y / N – If the quest is rejected, the lord of the castle may be upset.
‘The lord of the castle?’
Obviously unexpected, but not too surprising. Because someone’s fame is often used by politicians.
Of course, in a world where media has little ripple effect, personal curiosity will be greater.
however… … .
‘What’s wrong with rejecting a quest?’
What are you screaming about? I get goosebumps all over my body imagining the sight of a man with five folds of his jaw pouting.
“A small agreement?”
Pretending not to see Hyun-ryeong’s puzzled expression, he scratched his chin.
‘Hmm, that’s annoying.’
A third-rate quest at best. The experience or reputation you can get will be less, and the rewards can be obtained by gently courting the lord of the castle.
Wouldn’t it be better to practice martial arts at that time?
‘I’m not the kind of person who has to rush when the lord of the castle calls.’
I am on my way back from a battle in which I almost lost my life.
Even if you refuse the quest, you’ll end up getting angry, so why get angry a lot?
That was when I tried to refuse as politely as possible.
snap.
“I will go. must!”
Hyun-ryeong frowned at the sight of Hyuk Moo-jin, who came out of nowhere and grabbed the invitation.
“Isn’t that what I’m inviting you to?”
A cold voice unlike before.
But Hyuk Moo-jin didn’t care and smiled kindly.
“Oh, of course. It’s just that we, Confucius, have always respected the lord of the castle, so I can’t tell you if you’re thrilled.”
Hyun-ryeong stared at me with grim eyes.
“Hmm, is that true?”
Of course not.
Just as I was about to reply, Hyuk Mu-jin turned away from Hyun-ryeong and smiled at me.
‘I told you to go unconditionally?’
Unlike usual, he is somewhat desperate.
I made a quick decision.
“of course. Among the people of Shanxi, is there anyone who does not respect the Lord Cheng?”
“Heh heh, as expected of the people of a great country. If the lord of the castle hears it, he will be very happy.”
Only then did Hyun-ryeong turn back with a smile on her face.
“Then, I’ll understand that you agreed and I’ll see you later. Please give my regards to Jin Soga-nim and Jincheon Sword.”
“Oh, of course.”
belt ring.
– You have accepted the [Invitation of the Lord of the Castle] quest!
A system alert sounded. I can’t even cancel now.
As the officials, including the county leader, got away, I stepped on the hyukmujin and whispered.
“I think you have something to tell me, huh?”
“Let me explain. Once we get out of here.”
There are still too many eyes watching around. We got on the horse again amid the cheers of the people.
When we went further into the village and arrived at our destination, little Jeomsoy jumped out like a bullet and bent down.
“Come on… … omg.”
The guy was surprised once by the intimidation of the 50 horsemen and escorts, and was surprised twice when he saw Hyukmujin.
This is the fortune teller of the phoenix guest cup that I saw a few days ago.
“The outbuilding cost 50 hermits a night.
Right?”
“Uh huh then?”
“Uh huh, is this guy pointing at a customer like the sky?”
Moo-jin Hyuk, who scolded Jeom-soi in a stern voice, threw a heavy bag.
The little boy looked at us and gasped when he saw the hermit full of bags.
“Hut. Eh, so many?”
“From this moment on, the phoenix guest cup is taken over by Taewon Jinga.”
“… … Are you a double sword?”
Anyone who sees it will know that it is a gang of gangsters.
The three zombies who got off the wagon hurriedly drank the soup as soon as the food was served.
It’s only natural that I drank too much for as little as three days without a day off. No, if I hadn’t mastered martial arts, I might have died of alcohol poisoning on the first day.
“Hey, I’m going to live for a while now…

As soon as Jin Wei-jing finished the hangover and leaned back on the chair, Wi-Pang’s nagging sounded.
“My lord, keep your sieve.”
“What’s wrong, we’re the only ones anyway.”
“But what will your subordinates think if you keep showing up like this?”
“It’s okay. I didn’t throw up.”
Qin Yujing, who had made Wi Peng shut up with just one word, asked me this time.
“Yes, the hyeonryeong went there?”
“Yes, I heard that Seongju invited me to luncheon tomorrow.”
“The lord of the castle?”
“I don’t know why, but he was interested in me. I was going to reject him, but he has no idea?
“Is that so? whoever?”
Hyuk Moo-jin, who had been watching from the corner of the table, answered with a single voice.
“It’s me, Lord Soga.
“Aha, that friend who is our youngest right-hand man. I was at the water gate until recently. Your name is probably… … Was it hyukmujin?”
Compared to Hyundai, Taewon Jinga is a chaebol company, and Jin Wigyeong is the eldest son of the chairman and the actual manager.
Deputy Hyuk, who was always being scolded by his bad-tempered boss, answered in a thrilling voice.
“Ah, thanks for noticing.”
“Rather, I am grateful. There is still a part where I am still clumsy, so help me well like today.”
“Joe, my name!”
“Haha, it’s nice to see you’re strong.”
Jin Wei Qing smiled happily and turned his head to me.
“It is a hundredfold good thing to accept the invitation of the lord of the castle.”
“Is that so? From what I’ve experienced so far, they don’t seem to have much to do with Moorim.”
“Since long ago, the relationship between the government and the Murim has been inviolable. Do you know?”
“Yes, to some extent.”
I learned Moorim through novels. The setting often used in martial arts novels was no different here, in Moorim.
“We acknowledge each other’s territories, but there is nothing good about offending the coffin. Murim is only a part of the world, and the world is not Murim.”
Jin Wei-gyeong pointed to the bowl in front of him. I see half-full broth and a large piece of meat.
“Do you know what I mean?”
I nodded.
A bowl is the world, and Murim is a lump of meat in it.
“We are Murim people, but the emperor rules the world. Among the people, the authority of the Son of Heaven is absolute. The one who obeys the order of the emperor and rules the awakening is the lord of the castle, so he has considerable power and authority.”
“More than our Taewon’s true value?”
“If you look at the authority, it is. It’s just acknowledging and respecting each other’s power. The Moorim sect sometimes takes on security issues that the government cannot solve, and sometimes dispatches martial arts bridgeheads to the government forces. The government is helping each other by providing corresponding help.”
Gwan and Murim are the relationship between a crocodile and a crocodile bird.
After thinking for a moment, I brought out a question I had been hearing for a while.
“But why do you stay still even when the bandits go crazy and large-scale battles between the clans take place? It was between the Murim people during the last war, so even if you say you stayed quiet, they weren’t the bandits, right?”
Lee Cheon-baek also did crazy things such as killing the Sakju branch and killing the children, but the victims belonged to the Taewonjin family anyway.
Strictly speaking, they can be said to be those who fell victim to the grudge of the Moorim sect.
But aren’t the magicians the ones who kill and burn at random without such a thing?
‘Because from the point of view of the magician, the good people are easy.’
Magicians are those who are weak to the strong and strong to the weak.
Anyway, the important thing is that there are dozens of bandits that I encountered on the way to the Hengsan checkpoint, but the government forces didn’t even look at them.
“that… … When Jin Wi-gyeong blurted out his words, Jin Mu-gyeong, who had been quietly inhaling food, spat out.
“Because the lord is incompetent. No, is the emperor incompetent in this case?”
As soon as the words were finished, Hyuk Mu-jin started a fight, and Jin Wi-gyeong and Wi-pang stiffened their faces.
“Uh-huh, Mu-gyeong-ah.”
“It’s just us anyway, so no one is listening. It’s not like I said anything wrong.”
“Lee Gong-ja, the family has yet to reach the old school or the five generations. Please refrain from saying anything that could cause trouble.”
I asked Jin Moo-kyung, who reluctantly nodded.
“What do you mean by saying that the lord of the castle is incompetent?”
“Don’t you know the word incompetent?”
“Should I just report it to the government office for swearing at the emperor?”
“For treason, at least three tribes are punished. Congratulations, aww.”
Jin Moo-kyung, this bastard, his speech has improved quite a bit.
“Do you know who the lord of the castle is now?”
“Chunbae Kim?”
“… … If you don’t know, say you don’t know.”
The guy who looked at me like a bug opened his mouth again.
“The present state of Shanxi Province uses the Zhou family name.”
“so?”
“So what? It means royalty.
Imperial family!”
“Oh yeah?”
It must have been the Zhou dynasty. In an instant, he was branded as an ignorant guy who didn’t even know the emperor’s last name.
But, well, this happened not once or twice, so now I’m not ashamed of it.
“Okay, so keep going.”
Jin Moo-kyung sighed and continued.
“The current lord of the castle is the youngest brother of the emperor, and he is a royal official in the imperial family.] Since he is a direct descendant of the imperial family, he is different from the lords of the castle. He is a person who must be forced to save face by accepting an invitation.”
“Oh oh”
It’s definitely different. Not just the lord of the castle, but the younger brother of the emperor. He was born as the son of the real King of Heaven and became the younger brother of the King of Heaven, so he can be said to be a vibranium spoon rather than a gold spoon.
North Korea’s nuclear spoon in modern times, and beyond
“But why are noblemen who can become kings so incompetent? If you write a letter to your brother, I will give you a lot of support from above. Aren’t the two of you on good terms?”
“Well, I don’t know exactly what the family situation is, but I don’t think friendship is particularly good. Rumors are circulating that the current emperor also assassinated the crown prince, the older brother, and ascended the throne.”
“Look at the lust for power.”
“Murder happens over a single dumpling, and the emperor would be shocked.”
Qin Yuqing and Yu Peng gaped, and Hyuk Moo Jin started another fight.
“Judge, I haven’t heard anything. I really don’t know anything.
In fact, I have been deaf for a long time now… … I asked Jin Moo-gyeong, who was slapping the back of the head at Hyuk Moo-jin, who was muttering like a madman.
“Isn’t it because you’re not on good terms with the emperor? Or are you just addicted to alcohol and women?”
“alcohol? female?.
The boy laughed again.
“I am only ten years old now. You’re too young to fall into the mastery orphanage.”
“What, ten years old? Are you saying that a ten-year-old is a castle lord?”
“Because he is a direct descendant of the imperial family. It’s not just the lord of the castle, it’s a lineage that can be more than that.”
I suddenly remembered the system message I saw earlier.
– If the quest is rejected, the lord of the castle may get angry.
I thought that a man who was old enough was the main choice, but now I can understand that he is a 10-year-old child.
Aren’t you at an age where you can get pouting at the falling leaves?
“What’s more interesting is that it was five years ago that I first assumed the position of lord of the castle.”
“… … five years old? You are crazy.”
What would a five-year-old know? I can roughly guess the reason why the Shanseo Police Department became a mess. Why did Jin Moo-gyeong say that the emperor was more incompetent than the lord of the castle?
“But how do you know so well?”
I asked because it was strange that Jin Moo-gyeong, who was crazy about martial arts, was quite quick with the situation, but an unexpected answer came back.
“Because I’ve met you in person. It must have been called.”
“Oh, really?”
“It was three years ago.”
Well, if I am a super rookie who has recently come to mind, Jin Moo-kyung is a master who has already established himself. It was only natural that she would get the invitation ahead of me.
“how was it?”
Jin Moo-kyung looked at me with strange eyes.
Then, with a mixture of laughter and anger, he speaks with an ominous expression just by looking at him.
“It was like a dog.”
