After eting with Naeng Muyeom, I gathered everyone.
And I told them the conversation we had.
Parip hyungnim asked with a worried look.
"Will that go as planned? It seems dangerous if things go wrong."
"Naeng Muyeom specifically ntioned ten days. What do you think this ans? Since we already know how they will co out, won't we be able to respond sufficiently?"
Parip hyungnim was nodding, but the strong-but-clueless Deoksam asked.
"What is it? Why are you always talking about things only I can't understand?"
Our Deoksam always needs a detailed explanation.
"Naeng Muyeom needs ten days. For example, it might take ten days for soone who will help him to get here, or sothing like that."
In the end, he plans to eliminate .
Although he said it plausibly, in the end, my very existence will be a nuisance to him.
Naeng Muyeom probably requested a master from the Demonic Cult to eliminate .
Because he knew from the last duel that he couldn't eliminate alone.
"How about informing the alliance?"
"Then Naeng Muyeom will also find out, and things will get complicated. Since there is no evidence yet, it will only create unnecessary noise. And he ntioned the revelation. We might be able to get the information we desperately need. I'll say it again, our urgent task is to find out the information, not to reveal the Demonic Cult's spy."
One thing that bothers is that Naeng Muyeom ntioned the Flying Heaven Sect.
It might have just been a threat, but there is no need to provoke him unnecessarily.
I will get what I want from him in ten days and then kill him.
Because there is no need to leave any worries behind.
"This is giving a headache. How about we just have a go at the Demonic Cult?"
Deoksam! You don't have to use your head.
What I expect from you is not the image of a cold-headed strategist.
I'll use my head, so you just use your strength.
"But you're not really thinking of going alone just because he told you to co alone, are you? The Demonic Cult is dangerous."
If it's soone Naeng Muyeom requested from the main cult, he will surely be a master.
It could also be master's'.
"For now, I'll have to go alone, won't I? That way, I can get the information I want."
"Will Naeng Muyeom hand over the information?"
"I have to make him hand it over sohow. By using my head well."
I am going in even though I know it's a trap.
To hear the content of the revelation from him.
Of course, he won't just tell willingly.
I was planning to create a situation where he had no choice but to speak.
Though I don't know if it will go as planned.
"Since he knows your skills, they won't co out moderately on their side."
"I won't be pushed back anywhere now. And even if several people co, they will have to move secretly, so at most it will be three or four. I have sothing in mind, so you don't have to worry too much."
It's a good thing to have companions who worry about you.
All of this would have been difficult alone.
"Anyway, I'll have to stay here in the Martial Alliance for about ten more days. Let's solve this cleanly and quickly bring Great Hero Jong and return to the Forest of Swords."
There is a lot to do.
But if it's information about the revelation, it's worth risking my life.
And I can't leave a spy of the Demonic Cult in the middle of the Martial Alliance.
Jong Ilmyeong ca to visit with a few bottles of wine in his hand.
It was the first ti we had t since he ca out of the thunder prison.
I thought he would have many things to sort out, so I deliberately didn't contact him.
Although the sun was still high in the sky, we all gathered and tilted our wine glasses.
Those who don't know how to drink think that you should only drink on a dark night, but that's not the case.
You have to start drinking when the day is still bright.
That way, you can drink for a long ti.
"My thanks are late. If it weren't for you..."
Jong Ilmyeong said, holding his wine glass.
"It's just that the truth has been revealed. It would have happened soday. You have suffered a lot in the thunder prison."
"I'm not saying thank you for getting out of the thunder prison. I'm saying thank you for helping to sever that bad fate myself."
I couldn't answer.
He was betrayed by his beloved wife, and in the end, he cut her neck himself.
Who in the world could be in their right mind?
Who could understand his heart?
Fortunately, his face looked much more comfortable now.
"Oh! I just heard that you have solved the secret of that painting. I, who had studied it for so long, couldn't even get a small clue. To solve it in one night, you are truly amazing."
"Solved the secret? I've only just peeked at a single strand of hair. And it was possible because of various connections."
I slowly looked around at the familiar faces.
It was possible because of the various connections that had been made after regressing to the past.
"I heard that you, Sect Leader Jin, like to drink. So it's nothing special, but I brought a small gift that would suit this drinking party."
Jong Ilmyeong suddenly took out a small leather pouch from his bosom and took out a bead from it.
It was a small bead the size of a pinky nail, and it was emitting a hazy light like a fog.
Even at a glance, it was not an ordinary object.
He held the bead with his fingers and showed it to us once, then put it into the wine bottle.
"No, what is that?"
"Haha! Just wait a mont."
After a short ti, enough to take a breath, frost began to form on the wine bottle.
Jong Ilmyeong held that wine bottle and poured a new glass of wine for each of us.
"What on earth is this?"
The wine he had brought was Fragrant Snow Wine, and since it was a wine that was deliberately less fernted, it had a strong sweet taste. A wine with such a sweet taste can only be enjoyed to its fullest when drunk cold.
But wine is not sothing you can drink cold just because you want to.
"Haha. It's a small piece of Ice Jade. It's an item I obtained with difficulty from the far North Sea. Well, it's nothing special, but if you put it in water or wine, it imdiately makes it cold. And even after pouring it into a glass, that coldness is maintained for more than a mont. No matter how hot the weather is."
No! To think that there is such an amazing item.
Isn't it perhaps a more amazing item than the Heavenly Lord's Painting?
That damn painting only tells you about martial arts, but if you have that bead, doesn't it an you can drink cool wine even in the hot sumr for the rest of your life?
"It's a small gift for the Flying Heaven Sect. It will be helpful when you have a drink in the sumr. Seeing that you all seem to enjoy drinking. Haha."
Na Yeryeong, who was listening, intervened.
"Thank you. But the n here can't drink well."
Hmm. It's humiliating, but I have nothing to say.
Because all the n here have lost to Na Yeryeong.
I am a man who knows how to admit defeat.
"Don't worry about useless things, Miss Na. I'm thinking of drinking tea instead of wine now. It's good for your health and has a good atmosphere. The thought of drinking cool iced tea even in the hot sumr is already making feel good. Thank you for giving such an amazing gift."
At that mont, Parip hyungnim, who was quietly savoring a glass of cold wine, said as if sothing had co to mind.
"Didn't we decide to start a decent business after this is over? I just had a good idea."
"Oh! Tell quickly what it is."
"Why, on a hot sumr day, don't you sotis want to drink a glass of cold iced tea? But the teahouse I went to never had a seat. Or sotis I wanted to drink it on the go because I didn't have ti."
When you think of tea, you usually think of sothing warm, but in the sumr, iced tea is perfect.
And there are more people than you think who always insist on iced tea.
I heard that they even call themselves 'ice-dead-cold' because they only drink iced tea even if they freeze to death.
But it is not an easy task to make iced tea yourself.
"That's right. It's not like you can learn the Ice Soul Divine Palm of the North Sea Ice Palace just to drink a glass of iced tea."
"So what ca to mind is this. We use that Ice Jade to make a lot of cool iced tea. And we pour it into bamboo tubes, one glass at a ti. So that you can take it with you. You can also drink it while walking."
Am I the only one who's not a genius among the people here?
"No, hyungnim. How on earth do you co up with such a brilliant idea?"
"Oh! That's a really wonderful idea. In fact, it's not easy for us won to have a cup of tea in a teahouse. It would be so nice to be able to carry tea and drink it."
Na Yeryeong and Dam Sook praised him, giving him a thumbs up.
"Let's buy two glasses later and chat to our heart's content in our room!"
Na Yeryeong and Dam Sook were already in a frenzy.
Those two will probably have an endless chat all day with a glass of cold iced tea between them.
And when they part, they will say.
Let's talk in detail tomorrow.
Parip hyungnim had always said that he wanted to open a small teahouse and live quietly in the future.
But I didn't know he would co up with such a brilliant idea.
"No, so what will you na it? It would be good if it's a na that reveals that the custor can take the tea with them."
"It just ca to . It might not be a good fit."
"Just say it. If it's not good, we can co up with a cooler na."
Parip hyungnim hesitated and said.
"I'm going to sell it cheaply so that anyone can buy it without any burden. So that even the poor can stop by anyti and take a glass of cool, clear iced tea with them. So, what about 'Taeik-awun', using the four characters for great, beneficial, elegant, and transport?"
Ah! Could there be a more fitting na than this?
For so reason, I feel like Parip hyungnim's business will be a huge success.
I can already picture everyone in the Central Plains walking around with a bamboo tube containing a glass of cold tea in one hand.
Deoksam's 'Gubang' last ti was amazing, but Parip hyungnim's 'Taeik-awun' is even more amazing.
At this rate, if the two of them join forces, they might even co up with the idea of delivering a glass of cool iced tea to your doorstep.
These people, for so reason, seem to have been born in the wrong era.
Such geniuses, one of a kind in this world.
I should put in my share before they change their minds.
It might make my old age warm.
The drinking party continued until late at night, and I lost to Na Yeryeong once again.
Just as there is a talent for martial arts, it seems that alcohol tolerance is also innate.
But I believe that there is nothing in this world that cannot be achieved with effort.
I will definitely beat her one day.
Parip hyungnim, as always on the days he drank, had gone under the table and was sleeping, curled up like a ball.
Deoksam...
Where did Deoksam go?
There's no way this huge guy would be invisible in a small room.
And there's no way that guy, who hibernates regardless of the season, would have woken up before .
As I was looking for Deoksam in the small room, the door burst open and Deoksam ca in.
"Are you up now? Shouldn't you be a little more diligent? A person who is a sect leader. Tsk tsk."
For you, who always oversleeps, to say such a thing just because you woke up early one day, I'm in a very bad mood.
As the sect leader of the Flying Heaven Sect, I will create a special dawn training course just for you.
You should know that your morning sleep ends today.
"Yes. You diligent fellow, where have you been without even telling the sect leader?"
At that mont, the door opened once more and Dam Sook ca in.
"He was with . He said he wanted to eat son but didn't want to go alone, so Great Hero Han went with him."
The guy who said not to wake him up early in the morning even if the Demonic Cult invaded.
The power of love is this great.
To the point of turning a bear into a person.
At that mont, a noisy sound was heard from outside.
"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
"Haven't you heard yet? They say an amazing person has co to the Martial Alliance."
Dam Sook is not yet familiar with the masters of the martial world.
Soone from the alliance must have told her that he is an amazing master, but the real amazing master is right in front of you.
Though I'm a little tired because I'm not over my hangover yet.
"Anyway, the martial artists of the Martial Alliance always exaggerate. So you don't have to believe their words too much, young lady. Who on earth is it that they are making such a fuss about?"
"The Sword Emperor!"
