Episode 74
“It has changed.”
It was the first thing Qin Wei-qing uttered after entering the office. He looked closely at me and tapped Jin Moo-gyeong on the shoulder.
“Good job.”
However, despite the friendly words, Jin Moo-gyeong answered with a sullen face.
“I was going to call the mortician, but I stopped.”
“The words are really pretty.”
“You, Hu. Be patient because it’s in front of your brother.”
“Thank you for that too.”
Jin Wei-gyeong smiled and offered a seat. I sat down on a chair, took a sip of hot tea, and looked around.
“A lot has changed here. It was messy the last time I came.”
The office was neatly organized. It was a mess with all sorts of things the last time I stopped by 15 days ago.
Even the table top, where piles of papers should be piled up now, is tidy.
“… … It was a tough time.”
Qin Weiqing muttered with a clouded face.
“But it’s almost over. Just hold on a little longer.”
This man is half out of his mind.
Well, it’s strange that he’s fine since he’s handled that enormous workload alone.
‘If it were me, I would have run away at night.’
It’s like me, but if you push the soldiers well, they’re physical, and if you push badly, they’re stone heads. It’s not meant to be offensive, it’s the truth.
‘The family’s seniors were also similar.’
There might be a reason why the elder had the scarecrows seated, but on the side of Jinwigyeong, even the leading figures were far from competent administrators.
Jin Wi-gyeong, who was born into a family with a long history and is good at administrative handling and has excellent martial arts, is an outlier.
“I want to rest for just one day, just one day.
I want to rest. I want to rest.”
Seeing him muttering the same words like an obsessive-compulsive patient, Jin Moo-kyung clicked his tongue.
“How fortunate I am to be born second.”
I nodded too.
“sympathy.”
Taking care of my family in reality is also bone-breaking, but if you entered Jin Wi-gyeong instead of Jin Tae-gyeong when you first logged in… … Darkness itself.
Even Taewon and Jinga have hundreds of gasols. The only advantage is that you don’t have to worry about rising rents because you are the landlord.
“The eldest son has a heavy burden on his shoulders.”
At my words, Jin Moo-gyeong snorted.
“You don’t deserve to talk like that, so shut up. Isn’t that so, brother?”
Qin Wei-gyeong stared at me with watery eyes.
“How do you pick and choose such admirable words?”
“No, brother.”
“You’re all grown up, you’re all grown up.”
“… … Can I curse at you?”
Cold words followed, but as if he could not hear anything, Qin Wei-qing still opened his arms wide with a thrilled expression.
“My youngest, let’s hug him just once.”
“Yes, bro.”
“You are the youngest!”
Wow!
Jin Moo-gyeong muttered with a poop-chewed face.
“This bastard’s house. See if I come back.”
“Mugyeong-ah, come here too.”
“I don’t like it. Even if I beat you to death, I won’t go.”
“It’s been a long time since we gathered together, but you can’t even listen to your one and only brother’s request?”
Jin Moo-gyeong flinched at the voice filled with sadness.
“… … Just this one time.”
As soon as the words were finished, a hand that was only the lid of the pot pulled Jinmu-gyeong.
Buried with me by Qin Wei-qing’s chest, he grimaced.
you. porridge. was uh.
hmm. I won’t be out of sight for a while. They said I have to leave soon anyway, so I’ll just have to avoid it for a few days.
‘If it doesn’t work, log out.’
The quest must have been completed, but it was a car that I was thinking of going back to soon. There is also a contract issue with team leader Choi, and above all, it is itching to check the newly refined martial arts at the gate.
“thanks. I am strong thanks to you.”
After the emotional embrace, Qin Weiqing filmed tears with the hem of his sleeve.
“Work, too much work.”
It looks really hard.
A corner of my heart becomes solemn at the tears of a human weapon. I patted Qin Wei-qing on the back.
“cheer up.”
Even Jin Moo-gyeong, who had been wearing a bamboo robe until just a moment ago, looked at him with a pitying look.
“older brother. If you’re having a hard time, take this guy and use it.”
“.. ?” What bullshit is this. Stupid, I asked.
“Usually at times like this, I will help, even with empty words. Shouldn’t something like this come out?”
Jin Moo-kyung answered confidently.

“Unmanned people do not talk empty words.”
“Then why are you dragging me in when I’m still?”
“You have a lot of time.”
“doesn’t exist!”
“I have no more. Because I have to train.
And looking at the papers is a spirit disease.”
“I’m in 7th grade!”
“What nonsense is that?”
“I can’t study.”
Jin Moo-kyung, who was lost in thought for a moment, frowned.
“What a useless bastard. Brother, but this guy’s strength is good, so he’s perfect for a worker. Then I’m fine.”
“for a moment.”
A giant forepaw, no, a hand grabbed the scruff of the guy who quickly turned around. The owner of the hand was, of course, Jin Wi-gyeong.
“Where are you going?”
“yes?”
“The reason I called you is because you have to listen.”
“… … What is it?”
A look of uneasiness appeared on Jin Moo-kyung’s face as he asked. I don’t know because I don’t have a mirror, but I’m sure I have a similar expression.
‘It smells fine.
I can’t smell this smell again.
The smell of bad luck. A premonition that something troublesome is about to happen. Jin Wi-gyeong’s words that followed changed his guess into certainty.
“I have to go to Hangsan Checkpoint.”
belt ring.
– The quest has been forcibly created.
“……”
pestilence. I don’t even ask anymore
* * *
I looked at the translucent quest window.
[Yesterday’s enemy, today’s comrade]
Now that all the truth has been revealed, Hengshan Checkpoint is not an enemy, but a comrade to hold hands with. Invite them to Taewon’s true value in the upcoming fabric Rank: First Class Mission: Delivery of Invitation (Incomplete) Success: ???
In case of failure: No penalty After rereading it twice or thrice, my absurd mind has calmed down a lot.
‘Not bad.’
The difficulty of the quest is not high and there is no failure penalty. It’s a simple mission that ends just by delivering an invitation.
Most importantly… … .
‘log out.’
belt ring.
– Are you sure you want to log out?
There is no problem logging out.
It’s embarrassing because it’s a forced quest, but at this level, it’s acceptable.
‘Well, it’s not a situation where I can refuse.’
Unlike me, who had already accepted the reality, Jin Moo-gyeong was resisting with all her might.
“therefore… … “Jin Mu-gyeong struggled to speak.
“Invite the Hengsan checkpoint to the returning unit, is this what you mean?”
Qin Weiqing replied.
“Yes. He is a guest that should not be missed.”
“Then why should we, or me, go?”
I see you struggling to fall alone.
However, I partially agree with Jin Moo-gyeong’s question.
‘Why bother us?’
Qin Wei-gyeong’s answer, heard the next moment, inflated the question even more.
“The port inspector requested it himself.”
Unknowingly, I suddenly asked.
“Munju?”
I watched the death of the bloody sword, Icheonbaek, right in front of my nose. It was said that this Confucius, Li So-kun, was poisoned, and that So-so-ju, who had never seen his face, died without a trace because a band of bandits robbed an empty house.
‘I know that the main masters of the Hangshan checkpoint were also wiped out at Eight Heavenly Gorge.’
But what about Munju?
Jin Moo-kyung’s reaction was not very different.
“The damage must have been serious. I heard only rumors, but wouldn’t it be strange to open the door?”
Qin Yuqing shook his head.
“It is a literary faction whose name and color occupied one axis of the Shanseo Murim. You shouldn’t underestimate that power. If there is a pivot, we can aim for a comeback.”
pivot point.
It seems that the new focal point is Munju, the new head of the Hangsan Inspection who requested that Jin Moo-gyeong and I be sent. I asked.
“Who is that?”
“Lee So-wol.”
“Lee So-wol? It’s Lee So-wol… … It’s the first name I’ve heard. Judging from the surname Lee, it seems to have something to do with Lee Cheon-baek.
“Is this your first name?”
“The hidden son? distant relative? I’m not sure.”
“You don’t remember either.”
“yes?”
I can’t remember, what are you talking about?
‘Is this someone I know?’
Jin Wi-gyeong looked at me with strange eyes as I tilted my head.
“The new gatekeeper of Hangsan Checkpoint is a woman. She is the third child of 2,000 and the only sister of the deceased Susumju and Iso-kun.”
At that moment, there was a fragment of memory that passed through my head.
The stage in my memory is the conference hall. Iso-kun to learn. A guy with a red face yells at me.
‘The guy who tore my sister’s clothes and tried to commit crimes is so shameless!’
“Could that be?”
“right.”
“… … shit.”
Jin Moo-kyung, not knowing why, blinked his eyes.
“What do you mean? Hey, do you know someone?”
“Oh, that. You can say you know, or you can say you don’t know.”
“What bullshit? So what’s the matter with you?”
“Uh ≫ f.
An ex-girlfriend you don’t even know her face? Or a snake?
‘One thing is certain.’
It’s not a very welcome encounter.
I let out a deep sigh.
Speaking of the result, Jin Moo-gyeong also accepted the Hangsan inspection. It was because of the number of conversions prepared by Jin Wi-gyeong.
‘I heard that there are so many secrets in the Hangsan inspection… …
‘What does it matter if there are many? It’s not something I can see.’
‘It doesn’t matter.’
‘yes?’
‘The new lord understood you well. He said he was willing to reveal some of the best martial arts when you come.’
‘… … When are you leaving?’
‘Right Now.’
Everything went smoothly.
It was only an hour ago that they were welcomed by Jinwigyeong and boarded the quad carriage.
Jin Moo-gyeong, who was sitting in the seat across from him, grunted in a disgruntled tone.
“A carriage. It will take a year just to get there.”
Since the land mass is so large, it takes three days to get to Eunghyeon where the Hangsan Checkpoint is located.
It was a time close to eons for Jin Moo-gyeong, who wanted to see the peak of the Hangsan inspection as soon as possible.
“Coachman over there, can’t it go faster?”
A reply came from the driver’s seat beyond the partition.
“First of all, I’m not a coachman.
“Spurs on the whipping!
If you are a coachman, you should do that.”
“Once again, I am not a coachman. I think it would be more appropriate to call it an icicle because the whip is frozen now. I think the horses will be very angry if I poke their hips with this icicle… …
“What? Why is a guy who is not even a coachman sitting there!”
“A while ago, before departure, the attendants said it was cumbersome and ordered them all to turn off, so the coachman turned off as well.”
Jin Moo-gyeong, who was deep in thought, slapped her forehead.
“Ah, yes.”
Also, this guy isn’t normal.
“Then who are you?”
I answered, recalling the law of preservation of assholes.
“Hyuk Moo-jin.”
“Who is Hyuk Moo-jin?”
“You can tell by looking at the face. Hey, Mujin!”
The partition came down, revealing Hyuk Mu-jin’s face covered in frost. Jin Moo-gyeong, who was closely observing the face of the guy whose teeth were clashing nonstop, snapped his fingers.
“Ah, that’s him.”
Hyuk Moo-jin replied bluntly.
female]. I am him.”
“But why didn’t you turn off? Bring the coachman.”
As if he had been waiting for that question, Hyuk Moo-jin triumphantly stretched out his chest.
“I only listen to the captain’s orders.”
“captain?”
The Three Princes.”
Jin Moo-kyung’s head turned toward me.
“Did you call?”
“No, I didn’t even call, but he was there.”
“Is that so?”
Hyuk Moo-jin came out with a broken face and looked at Jin Moo-gyeong in turn.
“It looks like you two are real brothers.”
“Did you say prison term? Please explain properly what that means.”
Jin Moo-gyeong was hot and spoke in a sharp voice, but I yawned.
Hyuk Moo-jin’s flirtation is seen in One Day Today, but he is already a first-class man in terms of his skills.
“It’s not Hyung Moo-jin, it’s Hyuk Moo-jin.
I’ll stab the horses in the butt with a whip or an icicle.”
widely
Jin Moo-gyeong, who was staring at the quickly closed partition, sighed and sat down again.
“I shouldn’t have expectations. The upper water is filthy, but the lower water cannot be clean… … what are you doing now?”
I replied, wrapping the fur around my body.
“I’m going to have breakfast for luck.”
“okay?”
“uh. Breakfast for luck.”
“But why do you look like you’re getting ready to sleep in my eyes?”
“It’s an illusion.”
“Then why is the fur covering it?”
“I get very cold.”
I sat cross-legged proudly.
I didn’t forget to keep my body close to the wagon wall so I wouldn’t fall over.
‘I can’t entrust my precious body to him.’
It is absolutely not acceptable to say that you have broken limbs when you come back. It is far better not to touch it.
“You know when you touch it, right?
“But from a while ago, this kid is real.”
As soon as Jin Moo-kyung raised his fist, he quickly closed his eyes. On the outside, it must have started a fortune-telling breakfast. As she expected, her fist didn’t come flying.
well, now
‘log out.’
belt ring.
-Are you sure you want to log out?
The answer was fixed.
