“Because it was an important matter, I handled it as quickly as possible… Oh my, why is the atmosphere like this?”
As soon as I entered the room, I sensed an abnormal airflow and answered Hongjin’s question with a confused expression.
“It’s nothing.”
“It’s nothing. Even if you look at me, it looks like something happened?”
Hong Jin, who was looking at me and Hyuk Mu-jin alternately, suddenly muttered with a serious expression on his face.
“Ah, is that it? hmm. But that problem cannot be helped.”
“······?”
“It’s okay, so don’t be too upset. That can happen when people live, well,
what. Surely Heungjin knew too?
When I think back, it is quite possible that he was aware of the emperor’s illness, as he is currently the governor of Dongchang.
‘You may have heard information about him while excitedly listening to the story about the traitors over the past three days.’
Having drawn a conclusion with a rational mindset, I cautiously opened my mouth.
“Did you already know?”
Hongjin hesitated for a moment and nodded.
“huh. “I just happened to hear it.”
“It’s a top secret… but there are more people who know about it than you think.”
“Because eyes and ears are everywhere.
No matter how hard you try to cover it up and hide it, it will eventually leak out.”
but. Not all secrets are kept just because the emperor keeps quiet.
In all cases, there are separate victims and perpetrators, and the perpetrators also have a say.
Rebels who are already dead or just waiting to die.
Among those who passed through the hands of Hong Jin and Geumuiwi, there may have been those who were the closest associates of the Dongcheon Demon Army and knew that the emperor was addicted to the Blood Hongo.
“I guess I found out about it while interrogating criminals. Who was among them?”
“Sinners who knew that fact. “It must have been closely related to the Dongcheon Demon Army.”
“Uh, that’s…”
It’s a sensitive matter to mention.
Was it a port?
I belatedly realized my mistake and asked for help.
Just as he was about to strike, Heung-jin, who had been quietly blinking, spoke.
“I heard from Taesan Sohyeop?”
“ah. I see”•… Wait a minute. Who is it?” “Taesan Sohyeop. He is a very tall man.”
“ 9,,
No, this is something strange.
Hyuk Mu-jin opened his mouth on behalf of me, who was silent.
“Is this the Taesan I know?” “ »
“It’s as big as its name.” “yes.”
“He’s usually stupid, but whenever the topic of eating comes up, he becomes smart.”
“I don’t know about that.”
“I’m crazy about five-spice-jangyuk.”
“That’s for sure. In fact, a piece of intelligence came in yesterday, and according to what the subordinates said, the imperial servants were trying to poison that person’s food.”
When it comes to assassinating the imperial family, the guy I know is the one.
I asked, feeling extremely confused.
“No, how does the dog know that?” “How do you know? “I know because I saw it.” “It can’t be. “I guess you didn’t see it?”
“I heard you saw it clearly?”
“······What on earth are you talking about?”
“······That’s actually what I want to ask. “What is a criminal all of a sudden, and why is there talk about interrogation?”
Hongjin looked at me with a frown and continued speaking.
“Weren’t you talking about ‘that incident’ that happened when Confucius Jin just woke up?”
“Yes, yes?”
“You look very unstable right now. Could it be because of that? Why do you keep doing this when you honestly say it’s okay? “I just have a little more energy than others.”
No, crazy.
In an instant, my vision became dark and I began to tremble.
“How do you do that?” “There are already a lot of rumors. I did not know?” “Rumors are spreading…?”
“At least I was late because I was away for a while. It was less than two hours after Prince Jin woke up, so half of the people in the inner palace must have heard the news.”
I can’t breathe. Her hands and feet were shaking and she felt like she was about to cry.
It was as if I was bored one day and turned on the TV, and the public broadcasting channel showed me a wet dream party.
I was convulsing like a sick person and could barely get my voice out.
“Taesan, Taesan, come catch that bastard right now.”
Hyuk Moo-jin, who was frozen with his mouth wide open, answered.
“I’m really sorry to tell you this, but Taesan is stronger than me.”
“Catch it somehow!”
“No, you know it too, Captain. “Dogs tear people to pieces with both hands.”
“I can tear you apart with just one hand.” “oh. “Ahh.”
As Hyukmujin let out a brief exclamation and ran away, Hongjin, who felt the heavier air, opened his mouth with a confused expression.
“Prince Jin. “Don’t be like that.”
Any worries about treatment for blood marriage have now been completely erased from my mind.
To Hong Jin, who offered me comfort, I answered with a sigh.

“Don’t talk about other people’s business.
“I said it’s okay.”
“What’s okay? Have you ever been in a situation like me?”
Hongjin answered my sharp question with a sad smile.
“There is no way such a situation could exist. “I already cut it off a long time ago.”
“I just feel good about it. I actually envy Confucius Jin. Especially during the rainy season, it is so sore that it is difficult to walk properly without the cherry blossoms…
“all right. I understand, so stop. please.”
Hongjin, who silenced me with the eunuch he used whenever he was bored, held out something he was holding and spoke.
“I already tried to do that. “I’m also busy, so I just came to hand over the items I asked for.”
And when I came to my senses after being caught in Tallulah’s trap, I found the small iron chest in Hong Jin’s hand and was able to recall the purpose of his return to this place.
An unknown place that Dongcheon Demon Lord informed us of at the last moment.
The item I was told to find there. “This······
“As you can see, it’s an iron rail. “I don’t know what’s inside or who left it.”
“Have you tried opening it?”
“Isn’t it obvious? “It’s part of the promise made to Confucius Jin.”
Hongjin shrugged his shoulders and added with a smile.
“Of course, I didn’t have the confidence to open that iron chest with my skills.”
It was meant as a joke, but I knew it wasn’t just a joke the moment I received the iron cage.
Tiring.
You have acquired the [Very Hard Iron Cage].
You have acquired a new item. Would you like to appraise the item and check the information? Y/N.
With a small nod, a translucent hologram window opened between Hongjin and me.
[Very solid iron cage]
Rank: Apocalypse
Restrictions: None
Description: An iron rail made by mixing a small amount of perennial iron.
Naturally, it has tremendous strength and can be used as a shield or to store valuable items.
It is perfectly suited to the atmosphere. However, since there are five locks, it may be a bit cumbersome to use often.
I quickly read the text and swallowed a laugh.
‘No, no matter how small it is, some guy’s iron cage can last 10,000 years…
Perennial iron is a very rare and extremely expensive mineral.
When a famous craftsman manufactures a weapon, even if it only costs four thousand years of iron, he will hear the sound of a famous sword, and if it is more than that, the experts, who are said to be bad-tempered and spit, will rush at him like an anglerfish.
In short, it is something that cannot be easily obtained just because you have money, and no matter how much money you have, any normal person would invest in making weapons.
And there are not many crazy people who have enough wealth to mix 10,000 years of iron in an iron chest that is nothing more than a storage box.
of course······.
‘There is someone who comes to mind right now.’ I smiled bitterly and touched the iron cage.
As if to prove that it was buried deep in the ground, the surface was damp and the dirt that had not yet been shaken off was giving off a strong scent in some places.
‘What on earth is this? ‘What you tried to hide this far.’
It was a time when I was thinking about the old owner of the iron cage and Dongcheon Demon Army.
“I’ll just go. “I feel like if I stay any longer, it will only be a distraction.”
Hong Jin stood up, squinting, and left the room without waiting for my answer.
Before closing the door, don’t forget to leave a word.
“Ah, tell His Majesty the Emperor to tell you this.”
“which······?”
“I miss my only friend. “I can’t visit you right now due to some circumstances, but I’ll definitely meet you before I leave.”
My one and only friend.
When I remembered what he said when he handed me the Mandokjihwan at Geoncheonggung Palace, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Please tell me it’s the same for me.”
Hongjin responded with a slight smile and immediately left, and when I saw that all the people around me had disappeared, I placed the iron cage on the floor and suddenly stretched out my hand.
‘Inventory open. Summons.’
Tiring.
With a short command in my mind, the extremely familiar yet cool touch of metal wrapped around my hand. White salt (白炎).
Iggy, my German weapon and the best craftsman in the world, is a new soldier forged after a year of penance.
And at the same time, a key (physics) that can open five locks in that tightly locked iron chest.
“Let’s take a look. “What have you been hiding so tightly?”
I muttered softly and lowered the spear blade without hesitation.
Suddenly.
Metal being cut away with a flash of light.
I neatly removed five locks at once without any disruption and checked the contents of the iron chest.
‘This······
I had known about the iron cage since I first received it, but as light as it was, the contents inside were simple.
There are about a dozen bamboo poles that have almost rotted away due to old age.
In addition, there were wads of white, clean paper and a small silk pouch that seemed to have been filled relatively recently.
‘what?’
For some reason, as soon as I saw them, an inexplicable shiver ran down my spine.
This is nothing more than a keepsake of Dongcheon Demon Army, so to speak.
It was clearly an object that could not be measured simply by weight or shape.
Something more valuable than gold and more dangerous than gunpowder.
And it didn’t take long for me to realize that that intuition was true.
No, it was just a matter of seconds. Sreuk.
As soon as I untied the bundle of paper that was placed on top, which was still pure white, a bolt of lightning pierced the top of my head.
My whole body suddenly stiffened.
As I was reading the letters that filled the paper with trembling pupils, the voice of Hyuk Mu-jin, who I don’t know when came back, reached my ears.
“Hey, Captain. I guess I can’t bring it…
A voice that resonates like an echo, as if coming from far away.
I suppressed my excitement and opened my mouth.
“······Come.”
“yes?”
“Call everyone. hurry!”
Hyuk Mujin’s face stiffened as he sensed something was wrong.
