To do that, you have to be sure (5)

“Here I am.”

“Oh my, how can I express my gratitude… … .”

Seeing the old woman holding her hand tightly, Yoon Jong smiled.

“Don’t say that. These are all the things the bandits stole.”

"still… … .”

As the old woman stole her wrinkled eyes, the jogger poked her head out and said.

"Hehe. Grandma! Please remember that this is from the Volcano Wave!”

“You be quiet.”

“… … ∅.”

Yoon-jong, who had seen Jo-geul once with an axe's eye, grabbed the old woman's hand again.

"Then we'll see."

"Gosh. Even if I eat... … .”

"no. It’s really good.”

Then, he vehemently dissuaded the old woman from wanting to give him anything, and took a step backwards and left the house.

The old woman did not enter the house and waved her hand for a long time until they turned and walked away.

“Where next?”

“I said it was in front of me. We have to go a few more miles.”

“Hmm.”

Yoonjong turned his gaze to look at Jo-Geul's face.

Following the instructions of Chong Myung that the people should catch the hearts of the people from the bottom, they were now distributing grain by visiting houses outside the castle, not in Wuhan.

Not only the two of them, but also the disciples of the other volcanoes, each in pairs, dragging a grain cart one by one, were circling the small villages around Wuhan.

"by the way."

"Yes?"

Yoonjong said with a smirk.

“For some reason, you are working without complaint. Normally, my mouth would have come out saying I had to do something like this.”

"no way. I’m not some kind of blue-eyed guy.”

Jo-Geul shyly scratched the back of her head and glanced back at the old woman's house, which had gone away.

"actually… … .”

"Yes?"

“I still don't know. What is an agreement, and why do we have to do this?”

“… … .”

“Although it’s a consultation, isn’t this just what Qingming does to get his fame by fucking a shaman? It’s just good for volcanoes.”

Instead of answering, Yoon Jong just nodded his head slightly.

“So I don’t think I’m doing anything great… … .”

Jo-Geul, who looked ahead again, spoke as if spit out with a humble face.

“It’s just… … When you hand out grain and look at the faces people like, what tickles you a little?”

Seeing that he was even coughing, it seemed that these things did not fit well.

“… … It’s kind of like that.”

A small smile appeared on the corner of Yoon-jong's lips, urging him to walk again.

“That’s it.”

“… … Yes?"

“I don’t think there is necessarily one form of consultation.”

“… … .”

“As you said, presupposing sacrifice would be an agreement. But just because you don't sacrifice yourself for others doesn't mean it's not an agreement."

"It is difficult."

Jo Geul tilted her head as if it was difficult to understand Yoon Jong's words. Yoonjong decided to loosen up a bit more and talk to him.

“Did I just say this was good for volcanoes?”

"Yes. First of all, I think... … .”

“Then wouldn’t it be better?”

"Yes?"

Yoonjong smiled brightly.

“If we are good and others are good, there is nothing better than that. Has the volcano benefited from this incident, and has the civilians been harmed?”

“It’s not.”

Of course not. Rather, they distributed grain, so it would have been good for the people of Hubei to be good, but there was nothing bad about it.

“Consultations made at the expense of me will be splendid and worthwhile. However, my sacrifice cannot last forever. If that sacrifice continues to be made, in the end, there is only less work I can do.”

Yoonjong's soft face was like the warm breeze of a spring day.

“The best agreement, I think, is that my interests lead to the interests of others. If so, could we not have more consultations for a little longer?”

"Ah… … .”

Jo-Geul looked at Yoon-Jong with new eyes.

From what I heard, these words were in line with what Yoon Jong had said in front of the Beast Palace.

- If the glory of the volcano makes people living in the world more comfortable, all the disciples of the volcano will be able to proudly boast of that glory. But if it just stays in the glory of the volcano, the volcano will simply become a no-brainer, regardless of whether it is replaced by another faction at any time!

That cry at that time was still vividly inside Jo-Gul.

'The death penalty didn't mean empty words.'

They don't show off because they do something, and they don't take the initiative to do something on their own and raise their voice. But Jong-Yun Yoon has been quietly doing the work he has been given for a long time, and at the same time, he is also keeping his inner way.

'The glory of the volcano is the glory of the world.'

that's a grand word.

But when it came out of Yoonjong's mouth, it didn't feel so grandiose. He really does what he is capable of, one by one, and he will achieve the Way in his heart.

To be honest like a cow.

“… … Can't you?"

"Yes?"

“No, nothing.”

Jo-Gul smiled bitterly.

It was something I couldn't understand at the time, but now I felt like I knew a little bit. Of course, it's still a bit vague, though.

but… … .

“It takes a little while to realize that the volcano that the death penalty is talking about is being achieved, but it is the Qingmyeong… … .”

“… … .”

Then, the soft face of Yoon-jong turned pale.

“Is Chung Myung doing this with such a thought?”

“… … No.”

“Then is there something wrong with this?”

“Lord, isn’t it the result that matters?”

It was something that Do-in shouldn't have said, but Jo-Gul didn't want to blame Yoon Jong for that.

'Because it's a strange thing.'

That's what Cheongmyung always does.

There is no way that gnome has a warm heart to think of others, so everything he does is only for the benefit of the volcano or to fuck other sects.

However, as a result, in many cases, what was done with that narrow mind was helpful or beneficial to others.

'Of course, the yangbans who stole their souls from him will be bubbly if they hear it.'

But anyway, in terms of the results, isn't it?

Qing Myung solved poverty in Yunnan, and also the crisis in the North Sea. And now they are helping Hubei.

It's like looking at... … .

uh?

Jo-Gul's face twisted slightly, feeling something strange.

“… … I mean, the death penalty.”

"Yes?"

“As time goes by, someone in the distant future looks back on what the volcano is doing now.”

“Look?”

“Doesn’t Qing Myung look like a hero with an unparalleled sense of sympathy in the world?”

“… … .”

Yoonjong's body was as stiff as a stone.

“Stand, please… … .”

“Oh no, think about it. How will future descendants know how savage Cheongmyung's personality is, and how ruthless he is? In the end, all that remains is achievements and deeds.”

“… … .”

“But if you look at that… … .”

"stop. up to there.”

This ideal seemed difficult to accept, even for the underworld Yunjong.

"Horrible… … . No, let’s keep up with useless thoughts and finish what we were doing as soon as possible.”

“… … .”

As if she didn't want to think about it, she shook her head and looked at Yoon Jong moving forward, and Jo Geul let out a small sigh.

'He's a hero.'

What will the world be... … .

* * *

Empty carts passed through the main gate at the top of the gold line one after another.

The disciples of the volcano lined up the empty wagons on one side of the top, and ran towards the phenomenon.

“Elder! I gave it all away and came back.”

"okay. It was a lot of work.”

“We also toured all the villages we were assigned to.”

“Yes, yes. Good job."

Hyunyoung smiles and says with a sullen expression.

“You didn’t eat it or sell it somewhere, did you?”

“You should be quiet.”

"just a joke… … .”

“Even if you are quiet.”

“… … Yes."

Meanwhile, behind the two elders looking at the disciples with their backs on their backs, Song Tae-ak, the master of the Golden Line, was deeply immersed in thought.

'I mean, it's strange.'

The more I looked at it, the more strange this sect was.

Those who are usually elders tend to be involved in the affairs of the clan in every way. All the sects he had watched up until now were the same.

However, the elders of this group called Hwasan are simply silently observing and encouraging the disciples.

'This is really not easy.'

Since Song Tae-ak is also in the position of running a top-tier company, I had no choice but to understand how difficult it is to trust and watch the affairs of subordinates without speaking up.

No, there were only elders.

Even the great disciples who are guarding the elders are not interfering with the disciples in one way or another. Even at the most energetic age. Rather, it seemed that the younger disciples felt more responsibilities and moved with enthusiasm.

'Maybe this is the driving force that made the name of the sect of volcanoes famous in the world.'

Even while Song Tae-ak was thinking like that, empty carts kept coming into the top.

“Twitch!”

Finally, the jogger who returned to the cart shouted vigorously.

“Everyone is back!”

“A lot of hard work.”

Phenomenon smiled brightly.

'Everyone's faces are full of pride.'

It was the same when they fought the first battle and defeated the bandits of the green forest, but the young emotions on their faces now and the emotions at that time were slightly different.

'It's cheesy.'

Even though they overcame the difficult training and went through bloody battles, the disciples of Hwasan still have a great sense of joy in helping others.

The phenomenon was so elated and proud of that fact.

“Then, is it over now?”

Hyunyoung nodded at the question of the phenomenon.

“All the prepared grain was distributed. All the work to be done in Infinity has been completed.”

"Well."

Phenomenon frowned lightly and turned his gaze to the side.

“Cheongmyung.”

"Yes."

“Can we go back to the volcano now?”

“Hmm.”

Cheongmyung scratched his cheek and grinned.

“Yeah, what. I have nothing more to do.”

“Then when is it okay to leave?”

“You will do it tomorrow.”

"tomorrow?"

Phenomenon tilted his head at the unexpected answer.

Of course, everyone must have been tired of doing various things, so there was nothing strange about taking a break today and leaving tomorrow. However, the person he knew was not someone who would take care of the disciples with such a warm heart.

Time is gold, the one who screams that sloth is a sin and runs to the volcano with all his might right now is leaving tomorrow... … .

“What else do you have in mind?”

“It’s not like that… … .”

Cheongmyung smiled with a slightly inexplicable face.

Baekcheon and the group's faces contorted with anxiety as they looked as if they were still hiding something.

'that… … It's obviously a face when plotting.'

'Now, just looking at that face makes my heart shrink.'

'What else are you going to do here?'

'That's a bad idea now. Bad idea.'

Cheongmyeong, who had no way of knowing their anxiety, simply smiled and answered.

“I was dragging enough time, so I thought that guests might come.”

"customer?"

"Yes."

Phenomenon tilted his head.

you are a guest Who is the visitor to Hwasan from a place other than the island?

“Who are you calling?”

"Well. I don't know if I should say yes or no."

"Yes?"

Hyungwon's eyes slowly thinned as he continued to make sounds like fat calves the whole time.

It was then.

“Lord of the top!”

Someone rushed through the front door and entered. Song Tae-ak asked.

“What happened?”

“Wow, that’s a big deal!”

"Yes?"

“So, the customer… … Guests are coming!”

“You are a guest. Who are you talking about?”

And Song Tae-ak, who was about to ask why there is so much urgency when a customer is coming to the top, then his chin dropped and his mouth opened.

“Wow, fool! The shaman is coming!”

It was a voice that sounded like a scream. Everyone's eyes turned to Cheongmyeong as if they had made a promise.

Cheongmyung smiled as he received everyone's gaze.

“It came sooner than I expected. giggle giggle. The shaman’s long gate must have caught fire!”

“… … .”

no… … .

What else is this bastard trying to do... … ?

The faces of all the volcanic scholars turned white in an instant.
