Chapter 549 I am not a general leading thousands of legions.
Even including me, there are only six members of Hwaryonggak.
One meal was enough to bring everyone together.
“Attention everyone.”
The eyes of the five people, who felt an unusual air current, focused on the word he suddenly brought out, omitting greetings and honorifics.
Even Hyukmujin, who had gone to call them, still didn’t know the context properly. I stared at the questionable faces one after another and slowly parted my lips.
“Let’s get straight to the point… … I was given an assignment.”
There was nothing to subtract or add to.
I explained everything as it was, and the brief briefing was over before it even flowed.
And at that time, when everyone was locked in thought with their mouths shut as if they had promised, one person suddenly opened his mouth.
14 So.”
The owner of the calm voice was a familiar face.
Sima Pyo, the sorcerer of the Black Dragon Demon Gate, stared at me and continued.
“Going south. This is it.”
I nodded. with a light touch.
“To be precise, it’s not just the South, it’s the Palace of the Southern Barbarians.”
South Bay Palace. A mysterious school that trains martial arts by taming many animals, including spirits and poisons, and following their movements.
I’m not sure if it’s an animal protection society or an abusive group, but at least one thing is certain.
‘Hongran. No, the Southern Heavenly Demon (南天魔后) is a place that can charm her mouth.’ Under the assumption that the second ‘crack’ will occur, it is difficult to find a place as suitable as Nammanyasugung for Amcheon.
그야말로 동물의 왕국이요, 천하에 서 가장 많은 영물과 독물들이 득실 거리는 곳이니까 유엽도(柳葉刀) 한 자루를 품에 안 고 이야기를 듣던 송일섬이 중얼거렸 다.
“고생길이 훤하군.”
녀석이 이런 말을 하는 데에는 충 분한 이유가 있었다.
남만야수궁이 자리 잡은 남만은 중 원에서 운남(雲南)이라고도 불리는 곳.
위치상으로는 사천의 바로 아래에 붙어 있으며 귀주, 광서와 땅을 맞대 고 있다.
이렇게 들으면 단지 거리가 멀 뿐, 아무런 문제도 없어 보이지만…….
‘문제는, 남만 자체의 지리와 기후 가 엄청나게 지랄 맞다는 거지.’
남만에는 푹푹 찌는 열대 기후에 밀림이 끝도 없이 늘어져 있다고 했 다.
잘 정비된 가도(街道)는 눈을 씻고 찾아봐도 없고 대신 잘 큰 맹수나 독 충이 인간을 밥차 취급하는, 실로 거 지 같은 동네라 할 수 있었다.
‘얼추 들은 것만 해도 이 정도인 데…… 실제로는 어느 정도일지 쉽게 짐작 이 가지 않는다.
천하를 그? 려 넣은 지도에도 어엿하 게 들어간 남만이 왜 새외(塞外) 취급 받는지 어렴풋이 알 것 같기도 했다.
‘사실 현대적 관점에서 보면 외국 이 맞긴 하지.’ 운남이 현대에서는 베트남과 미얀 마던가. 그쯤 어딘가에 있을 텐데 세 계지리 시간에 잠만 쳐 자느라 기억 이 가물가물하다.
기억을 되짚고 있던 그때 혁무진이 손을 번쩍 치켜들었다.
“Hey, Captain, I have a question for you.” “say.” “Are you really going?” “Then are you going fake?” “I-I think it would be too dangerous.” “How are you? It was always dangerous, even until now.” “… … You say it for granted, so I have nothing to say.” “If you don’t have anything to say, shut up and pack your things.” “When are you leaving?” “Oh, didn’t I tell you?” I forgot something important.
It was clear that the others were too busy concentrating on the destination and why.
Looking at each person in turn, I spat out a word.
“Right now.”
“ ?
Small ripples spread quickly. Among them, Hyuk Moo-jin and Tae-san, a Hogeo (虎巨兒), were especially like this.
“Are you kidding?”
“Do you think you would be joking in a situation like this?”
“Nonsense. Any clothes or supplies I need to pack right now?”
“Say it. Since when did we thoroughly examine food, clothing and shelter? Just bring the Byeokgok Dan.”
Whoop, hook!
It’s a surprise. Is it a fever pitcher?
Taesan, who exhaled a surprisingly hot snort, jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“No! Taesan! Tonight! I decided to eat meat!” “meat? Meat is good.” I added a word to Hyuk Moo-jin.
“Did you hear? Bring the jerky, too.”
“Jerky! Not tasty!”
“… … Just shut up and eat something.”
Look how this guy who looks like he can bite off chopsticks has a picky appetite.
Recognizing the meaning in my gaze, Sama Pyo shrugged and opened her mouth.
“Taesan. yes this guy.”
“Lord, Lord.”
“How long are you going to act so rudely? If you continue to use raw herds…”
“Taesan. I won’t. Forgive me. Lord.”
It was to the point where I felt apologetic without even realizing how depressed that big guy was.
Thinking that I should leave the work of Taesan to Sama-pyo from now on, I turned my gaze to Song Il-seom, who was frowning.
“why. Are you dissatisfied too?”
“of course. It’s not anywhere else, it’s because it’s only strangers.”
Song Il-seom, who clicked his tongue slightly, continued.
“But count as nothing. Unfortunately, I’ve already taken the advance payment. I don’t have the confidence to pay a tenfold penalty.”
“It’s much neater than I thought. I like it.”
“Once you make a contract, you keep it. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t even have the name of a mourning guest.”
Song Il-seom, who spat out a word that felt strong conviction and pride, continued to speak calmly.
“Of course, the final decision is made by the employer, not me. Isn’t it?”
Of course, the last question was not posed to me.
From the beginning to the present, one person who had been silently thinking about something, Eunbihwa Joo Hwaran finally opened her mouth.
what answer will i give I guess you already know. is not it?”

I laughed at the soft yet clear voice that pierced my ears, and Songil Island let out a small sigh.
“I knew it would be like this. God damn it, I’m just a stranger.”
“I believe there is no need to remind you of the contract again. Great Song.”
Joo Hwa-ran stared blankly at me, leaving behind Song Il-seom, who was crying out in pain.
My face is reflected in the dark blue eyes with a mysterious light. Seeing it up close… … .
“Daehyup Jin?”
“Ah yes.”
what just happened Did she doze off for a second?
I came to my senses at Joo Hwa-ran’s call and muttered in my heart.
‘No way. no.’ It’s already difficult if this is the case. Thinking about the future, I always had to face the situation in a calm state.
After clearing my mind several times, I opened my mouth in the calmest voice possible.
“That’s great. I still had something to ask.
“About the fastest way to the South Bay and what you need? Okay.” ,,Yes? ,, “Why? Am I wrong?” “No. It’s not like that.” Quite the opposite: I was amazed at how accurate it was.
what is this. Have you even mastered mind reading? method of interest. What is it?
Joo Hwa-ran smiled at me, who was speechless and blinked.
“No surprises. Because I was thinking of what I could do from earlier.”
“ah. ,, “I also officially became a member of Hwaryungak, so like I said last time, I have to do my part.” Tok tok tok As if to let her know that she is also a swordsman, her rough white fingers tap her table top at a steady pace.
And the voice that follows.
“First of all, as Jin Dae-hyeop said, it would be better to keep supplies to a minimum. There is no need for clothes, and two days of dry food is enough.”
“It’s dry! That’s all please! Taishan is dying!”
Juhwaran quickly added to Taesan’s lamentations.
“Jerky, of course.”
“What is that baby guardian doing? Oh, please keep talking.”
“yes. then… … .”
Joo Hwa-ran, who had gotten rid of the trouble, continued to speak without strength.
From necessary items to the fastest way to Nanman.
Fortunately, she had the experience of traveling to Southern Manchuria several years ago, and through the records left by her grandfather, King Pyo, she knew the topography and hidden roads of various places.
Even Song Il-seom, who had lived the life of a wanderer wandering around the world since his days as a small dog, expressed surprise.
“You mean there was such a road?”
Joo Hwa-ran confidently nodded.
“Of course. According to my grandfather’s records, it is certain.” “I too stayed there for a year or so, but as far as I know, “According to Grandpa’s records, it is certain.” “No, I know that. I mean.” “Grandpa. record.” “Look here.
My words.” The King.” “… … I believe you. I believe you, so keep going.” who is the king A legend among legends who managed to make the legendary journey to a great distance even in the midst of as many as 100,000 Demonic Cultists covering the world.
Following King P’s will, Lord P. Hwaran proceeded without obstruction like the Going Merry after encountering water, and vomited the spirit of establishing all route plans for the South Manchuria before even passing a meal.
“Huh, that’s it for now. Anyone have any questions?”
Whoo!
Arms thick enough to be suspected of belonging to trolls sprang up.
You], ask anything.”
Taesan opened his mouth with a stiff face.
“Taesan. I haven’t understood anything since jerky.”
What kind of bastard brought a child to the No Kids Zone?
I shot one person with sharp eyes.
“Hey, guardian.”
“I’m sorry.”
Tup.
oops oops!”
Sama-pyo, who immediately blocked Tae-san’s mouth at my words, nodded his head at Ju Hwa-ran.
“I’m sorry.”
“……are you okay.”
His tone is calm, but he cannot hide his quiet voice. As the situation is, it will be unavoidable.
No, it’s normal.
‘Even if it’s an arranged marriage, it’s because they were even engaged.’ I wonder if it’s the Hollywood Kojaengs who are as cool as ice-type magic. In modern Korea or Moorim, where I lived, Confucian girls and Confucian boys abound.
Even I, who sees it, feel awkward, but Joo Hwa-ran will die.
‘I don’t even know what happened between the two in detail.’ Suddenly thinking about it makes me feel strange.
For some reason, the texture of the fabric touching my skin is irritating, and it feels like someone invisible is poking me with a small, thin needle.
Captain?”
“hmm?”
It was Hyuk Moo-jin’s call that broke his short thoughts.
I don’t even have to turn my head to check, I can feel the eyes staring at me.
After correcting my disturbed mind, I tried hard to open my mouth calmly.
“Okay, then, first of all, move according to the story that has been told so far. Goods are minimal. given time… … Joo Hwa-ran, who caught my gaze, answered.
“Half-sight. Half-sight is enough. I need to arrange the necessary horses and wagons without being seen.”
“Where would you like to gather?”
“hmm. What do you think, Jin Dae-hyeop?”
This is not an open mission. You have to move as fast as possible, but at the same time stealthily.
And in order to quietly get out of the neighborhood seething with countless crowds, they had to disperse and then decide on a secondary rendezvous point.
“Daebyeolsan (大別山). Let’s meet there again.” “Good idea.” At the answer that came after much thought, Joo Hwa-ran and others nodded their heads.
