Activate Four Gods (1)

“yes? Late exponential meeting?”

“Yes.”

Yeon-wi did not look at Yeon-ji-pyeong. He seemed very accustomed to flipping through several pages of documents and reading them quickly.

“Originally, there was a meeting between the late exponents of the seven generations. There is, however, a year in which compulsory attendance is made once every five years. That is this year.”

A look of bewilderment appeared on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face.

“Am I going?”

“Are there any problems?”

“Oh no! It’s not like that.”

Yan Wei handed over the folded paper. Yan Jiping politely accepted it.

“It is a meeting permit. Forty-five days later, it will be held in Hefei, Anhui Province. In order to arrive on time, you will have to leave plenty of time before the meeting.”

It was a distance that a master of Shinbeop could cover in five days if he was overdoing it. However, you will have to cross a major river, and you will not be familiar with geography. Besides, since it was a meeting, it was necessary to leave 15 days before to go with a normal face.

“The Changeungdae (蒼鷹隊) will escort you. Have a good trip.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes widened.

“Changeungdae?”

“Not all. I will give you one group, but Changeungdaeju is with you.”

The Changeungdae was an elite unit among Yeonga’s armed forces. Due to the nature of the love song, there are not many members of the organization, but each one is composed of outstanding masters.

Sending a unit that is not usually sent to the river means that the meeting of the late index is as important as that.

“I… … father.”

“Tell me.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong showed reluctance.

“If it’s a meeting of the late exponents, shouldn’t I send my older brother?”

Yeon-wi, who was flipping through the documents, looked up at Yeon Ji-pyeong.

Yeon Ji-pyeong flinched.

I’ve seen it countless times, but as expected, the look in my father’s eyes was frightening. It was as transparent as glass from the West.

‘older brother… … I’m still afraid of my father.’

It took a long time to wait while swallowing saliva.

“Your brother is dangerous.”

“yes?”

Is your brother in danger? What does this mean?

Yeon-wi turned her stance toward Yeon Ji-pyeong.

“Don’t you think your older brother has changed a lot lately?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong was taken aback.

My father is always the one with extremely few words, except for martial arts, learning, family law, and etiquette. It was the first time I had ever been asked such a personal question.

“It seems a little, a little different.”

“Not a little.”

“… … .”

“His personality and achievements in martial arts are not the Hojeong I’ve seen before. It was as if people had changed.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong also greatly felt the change in Yeonho-jeong.

Although martial arts are also martial arts, he felt a particularly significant change in his personality. Looking at him lately, I thought he was really like an adult.

“But to say that my brother is in danger… … .”

“Of course, the later exponents from the Namgung family will also come to the meeting.”

“ah!”

“Looking at Ho-jung’s personality now, he won’t try to avoid trouble. Both tolerable turmoil and unbearable turmoil.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong bit her lip.

I can see why his father asked him to go to the meeting. In a way, the father is sending himself to protect his older brother.

“Dear brother… … Just ask the doctor once.”

“… … .”

“Please, father.”

Yan Wei’s eyes deepened.

He looked at the second one blankly and nodded.

“I will.”

“thank you.”

“Get out and see.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong bowed her head and left the bar. Yeon-wi, who had been watching the closed door, rummaged through the documents again.

But that’s for a while.

Yeon-wi removed her hand from the document and buried her back in the chair. A little confusion was felt in the nonchalant eyes looking up into the sky.

“… … change.”

* * *

Boooooong!

The sound of the heavy iron bar cutting through the air was brutal.

“Hey!”

My whole body is sore. Her lower body, as well as her waist, back and shoulders, were not sore.

The length of the iron rod was as tall as Yeonhojeong, and the weight was close to 20 geun. After dinner, I swung until past midnight, so it was good that I didn’t collapse.

Tuduk.

Drops of blood dripped from the hand holding the bar.

It was more of a bunch. Yeon Ho-jung stabbed the iron bar vigorously.

thud!

The rock hit by the tip of the pole swayed slightly.

A strong vibration was transmitted to the hand holding the bar. Every joint in my upper body, from wrists, elbows, shoulders, to my spine, seemed to creak. My blood-soaked hand slipped away from my grasp.

“Keugh.”

Chunk!

The iron bar fell to the ground.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at her hands as she gasped for breath.

“Are we still at this level?”

Originally, the weapon that Yeonhojeong trained was a sword.

However, he was not physically fit. He would rather fight with his bare hands than with a sword.

After fighting and fighting like that, he finally found a weapon that suits him.

It was a huge ax mounted on a six-foot spearhead. It was a heavy soldier weighing several tens of pounds, but it was a weapon that was perfect for his temper and martial arts.

Later, he even hung a chain on the axe, filling a radius of about a dozen fields with the axe’s storm.

‘It’s because I can’t handle even a single iron bar properly.’

In order to use a long and heavy axe, you must be a master of clubbing, spearmanship, and hand-to-hand combat. However, even the iron bar, which is less than 20 jin, cannot be swung to leak me.

I felt it during magic training, but it seemed that the road ahead would be quite rough.

Yeon Ho-jeong lifted a hand ax that had been placed under the tree.

The torn palms were aching. He fiddled with the ax a few times before throwing it at a fairly thick tree.

Whiririk! Fuck!

The ax stuck right into the tree.

‘I feel fine.’

Hojeong Yeon, sitting with her back against the tree where the ax was stuck, looked up at the sky.

‘I know how to become stronger. I would have done more if I had put more effort into it, not less.’

The family’s extinction must be prevented. In order to stop the extinction, he had to become stronger first.

But that’s not enough.

‘I can’t just wait forever.’

It would be difficult to do so, but even if he regained his former martial arts in a year and a half, it would be a problem.

If you use all kinds of tactics and strategies in the power of the Dark Emperor, you will be able to stop the ruin. However, there cannot be a victim in the process, and the victim may include a father or a younger brother.

that… … It’s going to be really hard to bear.

‘In addition to my own strength, I must have a countermeasure to protect my family. Whether it’s information or force, whatever.’

You have to build up enough strength that you don’t need tactics and strategy. Even if you have that kind of power, it’s the world’s work to get hurt if you do it wrong.

‘the problem is.’

Yeonhojeong’s face crumpled.

“I mean, I don’t know what kind of people they are.”

After learning martial arts from his master, the first thing he did after coming out into the world was to find a beast.

Of course, I couldn’t find it on my own. So, in terms of intelligence, he jumped into the black sword, which was one step above the white sword, and chased after the beast.

However, it was not known who the chest was.

“What’s certain is that it wasn’t the black swordsmen.”

The martial arts of Baekdo and Jeongpa were certain. Although the origin was distorted to the extent that it was difficult to know, the characteristics of the true energy and the fa-kyung method were clearly those of Baekdo martial arts.

“If you want to pour in such a large amount of masters, it is impossible unless you are at least the Gudaemun School and the Seven Generations.”

and decisively.

“… … There is a high probability that there will be a traitor inside.”

It wasn’t certain. He had no physical evidence, and his father was not easy enough to allow a traitor.

But what if there really is a traitor in Yeonga?

Yeon Ho-jung, who had been deep in thought, grumbled.

“Okay, you don’t have to worry about things you don’t know right away. I’m a very funny guy too. I’m not a guy with a lot of thoughts.”

It’s because it’s the first time he’s ever died or returned. And it will be all the more so because the target he must protect is the family.

‘In any case, information, the expansion of force is necessary. If you want to quietly raise your voice without anyone knowing… … .’

Yeonhojeong’s eyes twinkled.

‘Is there no choice but to do that?’

Originally, I planned to approach him after dealing with family matters. But when I thought about it, I thought that I might be able to use ‘him’ to get a chance to get the best of both worlds.

‘Even if it’s not really helpful, just borrowing the name would be of great help.’

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up from her seat.

“Okay, I’ve decided.”

“What do you mean?”

It’s a surprise.

Yeonhojeong looked across the forest. At the entrance to the bamboo forest leading to the dwelling, Yeon-wee was crossing his arms.

“father.”

“Were you in training?”

Yeon Ho-jeong was embarrassed inside. I had so many worries that I spit out this and that without even realizing it, and I wondered if my father had heard it.

“When did you come?”

“I just came. He didn’t answer when I called.”

‘phew.’

A sigh of relief came out. Judging by his expression, it seemed that his father had not heard him.

“Why did you come all the way here?”

Yeon-wi looked at Yeon-ho-jeong’s hand.

“The blood scab has sat there.”

“yes? Oh, you mean this?”

“Did you swing your hand until it reached that point?”

“Nothing.”

He shakes his hand casually as if he really is. It must have been painful, but there was no change in his expression.

“You don’t practice swords?”

“yes.”

“There are many excellent martial artists in my hometown. However, there is a lack of martial arts books on stickmanship and spearmanship.”

“it’s okay.”

He knows the high level of clubbing and spearmanship. Besides, his true martial arts were not sticks or spears.

“Not okay at all. You are the Grand Duke of Yeonga. It is right to train appropriate martial arts.”

“It is not right to forcefully learn a martial art that does not suit my body.”

“what?”

The age was quite surprising.

“If you do, does that mean the sword doesn’t fit you?”

“That’s right.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Do you have anything to think about or do?”

“Explain what you mean.”

“Wu is a study that you feel first with your body rather than your head. If you focus on your body and find a way to make your body move more efficiently, you should walk that path.”

“Does that mean bongsul for you?”

“It’s a different thing to be exact, but you’ll have to learn it properly starting with Changbong.”

“Learn the art of spear sticking properly… … Are you planning on using a sword or a military jab?”

This time, it was Yeon Ho-jung’s turn to be surprised.

‘You’re very knowledgeable.’

The Murim people of the time were masters of their weapons, but their understanding of other weapons was generally low.

Father did not. Seeing that he thinks of a serious illness after hearing just a few words, he is clearly a person with a deep knowledge of weapons.

It wasn’t a lie to say that you need to know how to display your original skills even if you wield multiple weapons. If you haven’t actually used it, it wouldn’t have come out easily.

“I intend to learn this and that. By the way, why did you come all the way to Ye?”

Yan Wei knew that his son wanted to change his mind.

He tuned in to his son’s rhythm. No, maybe I chose the more curious side.

“This year, the meeting of the seven generations and later exponents is a place where everyone gathers.”

Yeonhojeong’s eyes twinkled.

‘I did?’

I didn’t remember much of it, but I did remember the thing about the Late Index meeting. He remembered attending the meeting with his brother, but not speaking to anyone because of his low self-esteem.

I didn’t even talk to my younger brother when I went back and forth.

After a brief pause, Yeon-wi opened her mouth again.

“I want Horizon, not you, to go to that meeting.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Yeonhojeong nodded her head.

“All right.”

The old man’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Is that okay?”

“If it is your will, I will accept it. The only thing I’m worried about is that Namgungse might touch the horizon from his side. However, since it is not a party but a gathering of many people, I won’t do anything hasty to hurt face.”

“Are you serious?”

“of course. Instead, please pay more attention to Ji-pyeong until you leave. Because of your stupid older brother, the road will be burdensome.”

Yeon-wi, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, shook his head.

“Don’t ask the question again.”

“yes?”

“Wouldn’t you like to join the meeting?”

Yeon Ho-jeong said with a creepy expression.

“Of course I hate it.”

“… … .”

“Who wants to see kids with no blood on their heads all pretending to be proud? Wow, just thinking about it makes me want to go.”
