Return of Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 22

Are you from Jongnam? (1)

Hwaeumhyeon (??

縣).

It is one of the largest villages in Shaanxi as a village with a volcano, one of the Five Mountains.

In the past, when the volcano made its name all over the Dead Sea, the harmony was also full of vitality. The peddlers continued to line up to visit Hwaeum without knowing the end, and the footsteps of those who wanted to see the volcano did not stop.

Thanks to this, the people living in Hwaeum did not have to worry about making a living just by the name of the volcano.

But how to tilt when the moon is full.

As the volcano lost its reputation, Hwaeumhyeon also began to lose its vitality.

However, Taehwaru was the main base that could still be said to represent harmony. And now, on the top floor of that place, about a dozen merchants were gathered.

"Ha ha ha ha."

A huge smirk broke out.

"Jang Moon-in seemed very perplexed. Did you see that face?"

"It's embarrassing. After all, this is an ultimatum from this side."

"Isn't it too much to do? The gold coins they took alone are 100,000 nyang! With that money, you can buy a decent number of druids! They had a relationship in their ancestors and helped, but if someone had a conscience, they should have already paid it back. "

"Am. Of course. That's the job of people."

Rouge of Taehwaru. Gong Mun-yeon (恭問連) nodded quietly. Then he made a very nice face.

“I am a merchant pursuing Lee (利), but I do not feel comfortable because it seems that the place where the relationship from previous generations has been connected is too harsh.”

"What do you mean, Gong Rouge! Gong Rouge did as much as he could. In the first place, despite how many times they broke the due date, didn't you take advantage of them?"

"Yes. No one will be able to blame Gong Rouge for that. Why don't we praise Gong Rouge's mercy again?"

"Then I'm glad."

Gong Rouge, sparing his words, leaned over his glass of wine. But inside, he ridiculed those sitting in front of him.

'It's comfortable.'

I mean, you can live by thinking so simply.

'The potential of a volcano is not formidable.'

The true power of a volcano does not come from force. The most important thing to watch out for in volcanoes is the history they have built up.

If such a clan continues to exist for hundreds of years, there are people who build relationships whether they like it or not. At least in Shaanxi, it is more difficult to find people who have nothing to do with the volcano.

'How to not know when there is.'

The presence of the volcano is now less than a speck, so even if it disappears, there will be more people who don't care.

But what is important is what comes next.

The moment you properly recognize that the volcano has disappeared, more and more people will try to find the 'why'. If you do not properly show them the cause, the Hwaeum-hyeon may be destroyed in an instant.

Most of the people who have connected with the volcano are not grasshoppers or plow worms, but people with status and status.

'But it'll be fine.'

It was steamed so slowly that I couldn't even eat it.

If it has been boiled for this long, it must be said that it has become soft like a duck whose flesh is torn even with chopsticks.

"But, Lord Rouge."

"Yes."

"What are you going to do with the volcanic shells?"

"Well."

Gong Rouge laughed lightly.

"The engraving is more meaningful than you might think. It may look like just an old engraving, but it's a good one."

"I don't understand, do you?"

stupid bastards

His expression almost changed slightly, but Gong Rouge succeeded in stopping his contorted face.

"The power of the name of a volcano still remains. Even if it is used as a tourist destination in moderation, many people will want to visit the volcano."

"one……."

Yoo Jong-san, who sells silk in Hwaeum, made a face that was terrifying.

"How much does it cost a person to hear that steep volcano? Would it be better to get something else than a engraving?"

"I don't deserve anything."

"Ummm."

Gong Rouge rolled up her lips.

"You don't have to worry too much. It's okay to say it out loud, but there's definitely a place where you can buy it for a high price, even if it's nothing."

“You mean there is such a place? There is a place where there is love for the volcano….”

"Isn't it the other way around?"

"Ah……."

Yoo Jong-san nodded as if he understood.

A clan who wants to erase the existence of the volcano even if they pay a higher price to buy the remaining buildings. There are only a couple of places that come to mind.

"So don't worry about it. I'll definitely get your money back."

"Khahaha. I'm worried. We always believe in Gong Rouge."

"Of course! Merchants of harmony, of course, shouldn't we believe in and follow Gong Rouge?"

Gong Rouge, or Gong Mun-yeon, nodded with a smile on his face.

But my heart was completely different.

'You can't do business with these things.'

Harmony is a dying land.

When the volcano made its name in the world, it was a valuable enough place, but now there is nothing left in the harmony. Thanks to sucking up volcanoes from their ancestors, now only the shell remains of the volcano.

And it was again choking the chord.

In the first place, the place called Hwaeum is not the main point, and it is not a place with many people. Nevertheless, the only reason that Hwaeum was able to become famous and develop was because there was a volcano here.

If the volcano is completely gone, the harmony cannot be maintained either.

'Before it's too late, you have to organize and leave.'

If you can get a huge amount of money by selling the engravings of the volcano, it is not unreasonable to be reborn as a colossus. Once you do that... … .

"Well?"

At that moment, Gong Moon-yeon turned her head.

"Who are you?"

As soon as he shouts, the bodyguards who were guarding the base run out of the base.

"Who, who is there?"

"Who's here?"

Gong Mun-yeon did not say anything, and waited quietly for the escorts to return.

Eventually, the window opens and the escorts return.

"There was nobody."

“……”

When Gong Mun-yeon didn't answer right away, Yoo Jong-san said with a smirk.

"Gong Rouge. Isn't this the top floor of Taehwaru? Who are you talking about coming here?"

"Yes. And if there was, they would have found it. If it wasn't even winged, would you have been able to hide here?"

Gong Mun-yeon nodded her head.

'Are your nerves sharp?'

It deserves it. It wasn't long before his long-cherished wish came true.

"It seems I was tired. I want to enjoy it a little more, but I think it would be right to end it here today."

Everyone agreed to his words and got up. Gong Mun-yeon gave them a rather tired smile.

However, once the nerves were brittle, they hardly ever subsided.

Looks like I need to rest a bit.

* * *

"Uh-huh!"

Yoo Jong-san staggered and walked down the street.

"Feel so good!"

It looks like there was a bit too much alcohol in it. The excitement hasn't stopped for a while.

Why not?

'It's a lot of money.'

The money you can get from the volcano is amazing. From a long time ago, interest accrued on interest, and the money lent for the first time grew to a point where it was mere dust.

If only that money can be recovered, playing and eating for the rest of your life is nothing.

Gong Rouge is an unreliable person, but he is accurate when it comes to money matters. No matter what he plans to do behind the scenes, isn't it enough for Yoo Jong-san to get paid?

"The moon is bright... What? There is no moon? A. It's New Year's Eve."

Yoo Jong-san smiled and looked around. The gloomy one looks perfect for being robbed. On days like this, I had to go to a boulevard rather than a corner like this, but I came to this place because I was drunk.

haha.

thought was short. If even a robber with a sword appears in front of a moment like this... … .

"Wait there."

“……”

Yoo Jong-san closed his eyes and opened them.

Someone was blocking the dark alley. From the black nightwear to the black mask. Truly... … .

'It looks like a painted robber.'

He was small for a robber, so he wasn't overbearing, but he clearly felt his intentions in that outfit.

No, but do you usually commit robbery in that outfit? A robber is a corporation that should do things in secret if possible, and that's

'I'm a robber!'

Isn't that the outfit that shouts?

Yoo Jong-san opened his mouth with a smirk.

"Is this even a robber?"

"I don't care about money."

The nocturne took a step forward.

"If you answer the question well, I will send it to you nicely."

"Huh?"

Yoo Jong-san laughed.

"It's not that I don't want to give you an answer, but I think this is a little bit difficult."

At his words, the nocturne raised his head slightly.

“I have a lot of family members with me. It’s not okay to go around alone.”

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute

A few groups appeared around Mt. Yujong with a small sound. Warriors with swords. Apparently, he was the escort at the top.

"I'd love to give you an answer, but I don't think they'll be very happy with my answer, unfortunately."

The nocturne looked at Mt. Yujong without answering.

Yoo Jong-san, who had lost his excitement, salivated and closed his mouth. Instead, the escorts open their mouths.

"What do you do? Kill me?"

"Hmm."

Yoo Jong-san stroked his beard.

"If you dare to wear night clothes and block my way, doesn't it mean that you came here for a purpose, rather than grabbing someone and robbing me?"

"It seems so."

"Then you must listen to the purpose of it. Get it. Bring it to me. So that I can speak."

"Yes!"

It was the moment when the escorts were about to rush forward.

"for a moment."

A nocturne raises a hand to stop them.

"Yes?"

"If possible, I don't want to have an accident. Again, if you just answer the questions you ask, you can end it well. So..."

"How long are you going to be listening to bullshit? Bring him!"

"Yes!"

The escorts surrounded the nocturnal with a vigor-like momentum.

'You idiot.'

Seeing this, Yoo Jong-san turned his head. Basically, he doesn't like violent scenes.

They are the ones who made a contract with a large sum of money. They aren't the ones to do this. Therefore, there was an aspect that was more hands-on than general escorts. So this time too, at least in an instant... … .

Wow!

Yes.

Aww!

hey hey It's too bad.

Aww!

Yoo Jong-san frowned. This was too much of an overkill.

"Didn't I tell you to be able to speak?"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. I'm... Huh?"

Who answered now?

Yoo Jong-san raised his head and looked ahead.

“……”

He sees the escorts who have fallen with crab foam in his eyes. And a nocturnal man, who must have crushed the escorts in one blow, was approaching him with his head down.

"People have to know how to speak. Strangely enough, they don't know how to speak."

“……”

The nocturne wiggles his finger.

"Come here. Come."

“……”

Yoo Jong-san approached the nocturnal as if possessed.

"Once again, as long as you answer well, nothing will happen. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The answer came like a knife.

“Come on, then.”

"……Yes?"

What?
