Chapter 141: The Lazy Man, Using His Strength (4)
chin.
Wi Yeon-ho's back touched Shin Gi-su's chest.
Wi Yeon-ho quietly turned his head.
“Where are you going?”
“I… Grandpa, I don’t think you understand the situation right now.”
"hmm?"
“I think I should talk to you now.”
“…….”
The new investigator raised his head and looked at the sky.
Thanks to the Dancheon Sword splitting the sky, the clear sky came into view very clearly.
It's annoying, though.
'Why don't humans change?'
No, it's not the human, it's the Wei Yan Ho that doesn't change.
Even if you have a firm sense of humanity and identity, after seeing and experiencing so much, wouldn't it be normal for your humanity to change even a little?
But why are people so consistent?
“……Is it really that strong?”
“You can say that even after seeing it?”
I saw it.
I saw it well.
“Of course it looks strong, but…….”
To be honest, the new investigator couldn't grasp the absolute strength of the powerful. He could only guess. In other words, in the eyes of the new investigator, both the Wi Yeon-ho and the Dan Cheon-geom seemed incredibly strong.
“Do you think you can stop it?”
“Hey, you’re so good at joking. How can I stop you?”
“……Is it really not possible?”
"There are things people can do, and things they can't do. I learned that trying to do what you can't do isn't the job of a gentleman."
“You are not a gentleman.”
“That’s true, though.”
Wi Yeon-ho smiled awkwardly.
“So, I’ll just take advantage of this opportunity and pounce on it.”
"……huh?"
"But they're still human. If they all rush in, whether it's the Eorim Army or the Jeongmu Alliance, how could it be difficult to deal with one? The sword would surely stick!"
Looking at Wei Yanho, Wei Yanho was saying what others were saying.
But things didn't go as Wei Yanho wanted.
Baek Gong-do, who had glanced around, quietly opened his mouth.
“Look here, Detective Shin Gi-su and General of the Six.”
Not a loud voice.
But strangely enough, it was a voice that resonated widely and was clearly audible.
Even the new investigator and General Yuk Ui could only hold their breath and look at the Dancheon Sword.
Dancheon Sword did not continue speaking, but just looked up at the sky.
But no one dared to urge the Dancheon Sword. At least for this moment, it held complete control of the place. Before its overwhelming presence, even the Grand Army held its breath, and even Jeongmu-myeong remained silent.
“There was too much blood.”
“…….”
"I don't regret the blood. Sometimes, there are things that can't be solved without blood. What I regret isn't the blood flowing here, but what Kangho will have to endure in the future."
The new detective nodded.
He could understand what the Dancheon Sword was saying.
The tilted pendulum regained its balance with the appearance of the Dancheon Sword.
'There will be a lot of blood flowing.'
With the addition of the Eorim Army, he had seized the opportunity, but now the outcome of the battle had shifted in a direction even the Shingi Investigation could not predict. All he could predict was that whoever won would also shed a great deal of blood.
No, if this war continues, there will be no winners. Even if we cling to the hollow conclusion of victory while covered in wounds, we'll end up handing everything over to the demonic cult that arrives next.
In the end, there is no other way but for everyone to lose.
But how can we continue the war with hatred for each other without looking back?
“What are you going to do if I do that?”
That was the problem.
They have shed too much blood to back out now, thinking the outcome will be unfavorable. Their mutual hatred has reached a fever pitch, and a compromise is no longer possible.
“It’s a difficult task.”
Dancheon Sword shook his head quietly.
"But it's not that difficult. Mutual destruction is something no one wants. So, I'd like to propose something."
"proposal?"
“That’s right.”
Dancheon Sword's gaze was fixed on one spot.
Political alliance.
A new investigation.
No, to be precise, I'm talking about Wi Yeon-ho, who is standing awkwardly next to Shin Gi-su.

"It's the classic method. If both sides must fight to the death, but neither can afford to waste their own strength, then ultimately, isn't it inevitable that the leaders will clash with each other?"
The new detective's eyebrows narrowed.
It's a straightforward method.
But it was also a method neither side preferred. In stories from the past, it's not uncommon for a battle between the leaders to be decided in an instant, with both sides conceding defeat. But is that really the case in reality?
Those who risked their lives fighting could not possibly accept that the outcome was decided in a battle in which they had no part.
I don't know.
It might be possible with Baekgeomseong. Their faith in their lord seems unwavering.
But the political alliance… … .
The new investigator turned his head slightly and looked at Wi Yeon-ho. Wi Yeon-ho was startled when his gaze fell on him and spoke.
“Me? Why? Why are you looking at me?”
'Can we entrust our fate to this kid?'
I have no confidence.
Although Shin Gi-su trusted Wei Yan-ho deeply, he didn't want to entrust the fate of Gangho to him. That trust was different from this trust.
“There is no leader here.”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
Dancheon Sword shook his head with a soft smile.
“If Kwon Geuk was alive, would you have been able to represent Kwon Geuk?”
“…….”
"He was a great man. But his power alone doesn't make him worthy of representing the martial world. Right now, there's only one person qualified to do so."
Dancheon Sword's gaze was fixed on Wi Yeon-ho.
“Wei Yan Ho.”
“…….”
“If it’s the Gwanghwi Sword Association, it’s possible.”
Everyone's gaze turned towards Wi Yeon-ho, following the Dancheon Sword.
“…….”
Wei Yanho couldn't bear the subtle gaze and took a step back.
“No, don’t back down!”
“How can I not back down from here!”
“I’m not asking you to fight, I’m just telling you not to act like a loser, you punk!”
“I was looking for a shape and my neck was about to fly off!”
Wi Yeon-ho glared and protested.
Then, the new detective couldn't help but flinch.
'Fuck.'
If his own grandson had glared at him like this and spoken out loud, he would have cracked his head open on the spot. But isn't a strong man a thug?
“And inspiration!”
Wi Yeon-ho turned his head sharply and looked at the short-sword and pointed at it.
"What do you feel for me? What kind of representative are you?"
“…….”
A look of absurdity appeared on Dancheongeom's face.
It's a natural reaction.
Information about Wi Yeon-ho abounds within Baekgeomseong. However, the castle lord is unaware of his true nature. That's not particularly important.
The part about Wei Yanho's personality was blocked by Baek Hoe-myeong, that is, So Seong-ju-level.
So, I can't help but be confused.
“Go, feelings?”
"If you don't have feelings, why are you doing this to me?! Are there a lot of people here? How can I be the representative when there are so many people? There are so many talented people out there!"
“A strong person?”
Dancheon Sword tilted his head.
“For example, the head of Shaolin!”
“Kuuuuuuuuu! Amitabha, a small monk could never possibly take on such a role! It’s too much of a position.”
“Or maybe the head of a shaman’s family!”
“Immeasurable Life Buddha, how could I aim for such a place? I will resign.”
“Or the Namgung family, considered the best of the five great families…….”
“Namgung Se-ga is not the head of the Five Great Clans! Tangga! Tangga!”
“…….”
Wei Yanho looked back with a strange look in his eyes. However, everyone who met his gaze was busy avoiding his gaze.
'You have to make sense.'
"Who do you want me to fight with? I'd rather die with a knife in my mouth."
‘I could just die, but why would I have to die publicly? … .’
I saw a man splitting the sky.
They too are people living in the world of martial arts, but who would have imagined that they would see such a sight with their own eyes in their lifetime?
Are you going to fight against someone like that?
It would be more likely for the rabbit to charge the tiger.
"no!"
Wi Yeon-ho became angry.
“Do you think the nobles who brag about protecting the world would want to stick their butts out like that and put forward a young, fresh-faced kid?”
“You’re not an ordinary kid, are you?”
“No matter what, it’s like that!”
At that moment, Wi Jeong-han stepped forward and blocked Wi Yeon-ho's path.
“Military officer.”
“…….”
When Wi Jeong-han looked at him with a stern face, Shin Gi-su also had nothing more to say.
What could one say to a father trying to protect his child? Moreover, Wi Jeong-han would not hesitate to step forward if something like this happened to him. Shin Gi-su wasn't shameless enough to argue about the righteousness of someone like him, who was trying to protect his own child.
“Hey.”
It was none other than the Dancheon Sword that resolved the situation.
“Come out here.”
“I said I’m fine.”
Dancheon Sword smiled.
“It’s no use. I came here solely to see you.”
"……yes?"
"The future of the world… That's not so important. I'm not foolish enough to waste my energy on something whose outcome is already certain. I came here to see the possibilities."
“…….”
“Even if all my children die here, I will not take my eyes off you. So come out here.”
"under……."
Wi Yeon-ho sighed deeply.
I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I could clearly sense his determination. I could tell just by looking at his eyes. Dancheon Sword would never let Wei Yanhu escape.
“I have a serious injury.”
“It seems like you’ve already recovered to some extent.”
“No, does it really hurt?”
"That's what war is like. Surely you're not suggesting we fight in perfect condition, are you?"
“It’s not like that, but…….”
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged.
“I can’t help but think it’s a little harsh.”
“You have to take responsibility.”
Damn it.
Dancheon Sword took a step forward.
It was only one step. One step in this vast distance. But the moment he took that one step, Wei Yanhu felt the weight of a mountain rising above him.
“Considering what you have to go through in the future, this is nothing.”
“……What on earth are you talking about?”
“Come forth, child of ten thousand swords.”
Slurp.
Dancheongeom slowly pulled out his sword.
Then he aimed at Wei Yanhu.
"If you too are the successor to the Ten Thousand Swords, you cannot escape my sword. Let's see if the Ten Thousand Swords have been properly inherited in you. Is your Ten Thousand Swords truly more correct than ours?"
Wi Yeon-ho's eyebrows twitched.
“I can tolerate everything else…”
Damn it.
Wi Yeon-ho also took a step forward.
"I can't stand hearing you talk about Man-geom and such. I guess I'll have to show you what Man-geom really is."
Slurp.
Wi Yeon-ho also drew his sword. His white sword shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.
“Because if I don’t, I feel like I’ll get in trouble.”
The Baek Mu-han in the afterlife was a hundred times more frightening than the Dancheon Sword right in front of him.
