Taejonbirok Volume 17, Episode 5
Chapter 93: Lazy, Bored (5)
It was a bit of a strange sight.
Greetings aren't just about words. They require at least a minimal amount of body language. Yet, those present greeted each other without even looking.
And the old man seemed to think that was natural too.
“Go on.”
"yes!"
Even while answering, he didn't look away. As Wei Yanhu stared at the sight with a curious look, the old man glanced at Wei Yanhu and opened his mouth.
“Metal is something that can break down if you take your eyes off it for even a moment.”
"ah……."
"If you can't do your job properly because of appearances and formalities, there's nothing more foolish than that. It's right not to even say hello while working. Even though I say that, these guys won't give in on that one thing. They're so frustrating."
I felt a sense of uncompromising conviction in his work.
“What is this place?”
“It’s exactly as you see it. This is where weapons are made.”
“Is the secret of the Tang family made here?”
“Yes.”
Wi Yeon-ho looked around with a slightly nervous expression.
"I don't know much about this place, but I heard the Tang family's armory is top secret. Wouldn't my presence cause problems?"
Judging by his ability to identify problems through the words he's heard and the surrounding circumstances, it seems Wei Yanho has also developed considerably. The problem, however, is that this intuition only activates when it's useless.
“I said I’d bring him, but who cares?”
Those words were full of pride.
“If you can see with your own eyes and steal our technology, I will praise you instead.”
“Hey, I don’t have the ability to do that.”
“It looks like that.”
Is this like a curse?
Just as Wei Yanhu was about to protest, the old man opened his mouth.
“Jonggan, where is Jonggan?”
“Yes! Noya!”
The man called Jonggan ran towards the old man in a hurry.
A tense expression hung over Jonggan's face. The old man, who had said he was going to his quarters, suddenly returned to the armory, and he wondered if something had gone wrong.
“Open the white furnace.”
“Are you talking about the boat, the white heron?”
"okay."
The faces of the two men hardened.
“Wh, what’s going on?”
“I have something to write about.”
“Hana Noya, I need the permission of the head of the household to open the White House.”
“Stop talking and open it.”
“No.”
Anger began to rise in the eyes of the one called Noya.
Jonggan, who saw that sight, lowered his head in a stinging manner, but did not back down.
"Oh, you know. The White Heron is used to create the Golden Dragon's Secret Weapon. Opening the White Heron requires the permission of the head of the household."
“If a craftsman uses a brazier, how can you say that permission from someone who is not a craftsman is required?”
“But that is the law of the Tang family, Noya…….”
Just as the old man was about to lose his temper, Wi Yeon-ho calmly opened his mouth.
“Can’t you just get permission from the head of the household?”
"huh?"
The gaze of the Tang Dynasty turned towards Wi Yeon-ho.
'What is this guy?'
The first guy he saw was here.
I hadn't been paying attention because the old man had returned, but now that I think about it, why is this guy here?
“Oh, did you bring an outsider with you?”
The face of the Tang Dynasty began to turn pale.
The old man was originally that kind of person.
His identity as a craftsman was so strong that he had little sense of himself as a Tang family member. A Tang family member can never be free from its laws. However, the old man believed that for the sake of his craftsmanship, even the laws of the Tang family could be disregarded.
There have been a few problems with that fact in the past, but I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but who would have thought that such a major accident would happen?
"No, no! What on earth have you done? Bringing an outsider into the armory!"
“It doesn’t matter, I’m not making anything sensitive.”
"That's not the point. What's important is that outsiders entered a place where they shouldn't be."
“So what are you going to do?”
“I have to report to the head of the household.”
The gazes of the elder and the old man met in the air.
"Even if you're Noya, breaking the family law is not a light crime. I will report this to the head of the household and hold Noya accountable."
“Do as you wish.”
The old man spoke with a blank expression as if it didn't matter.

“However, I don’t want to waste time, so open the door and go.”
“I told you not to.”
The tense standoff between the two continued.
“Haaaaaam.”
At that moment, Wei Yanho yawned so loudly that his mouth was torn.
“Are you done?”
The gaze of the elder and the old man turned towards Wi Yeon-ho.
“So, in the end, everything can be done with the permission of the head of the household, right?”
The king nodded absentmindedly.
Of course, family law was paramount, but the head of the household had the authority to make exceptions. Even if Wi Yeon-ho were to dance naked within this space, it would be understandable if the head of the household had given his permission.
"Go and tell them. I'm here, and Baekronga asked me to open something."
“……Who are you?”
“Me? I’m married to someone I’m not married to.”
“Wei Yan… Wei Yan Ho?”
The eyes of the two brothers trembled as if they had experienced an earthquake.
“What are you saying?”
“…….”
Dangjonggan walked into the dragon pit with his shoulders slumped.
"that is……."
The old man who had been opening his mouth sighed deeply, unable to open it.
Of course, as soon as Wi Yeon-ho finished speaking, Dang Jong-gan immediately rushed to the family's residence. He realized the situation had become far beyond his ability to handle.
When Dangjonggan, who had arrived at Gajujeon, explained the situation, the dark king opened his mouth with a trembling face.
"egret?"
"Yes. It's Baekro, my lord! Wi Yeon-ho is currently in Yongso, babbling nonsense to open Baekro."
“Ugh.”
"This is absolutely unacceptable. Not only Wei Yanhu, but also Noya deserves punishment. Not only did they bring in outsiders, despite the family's prohibition, but they're demanding the Baekro be opened. Doesn't this mean they're even allowing the Baekro to be seen by outsiders? Nothing like this has ever happened in Tang history. They must be punished and the family's prestige restored…"
“Open it.”
“Yes, of course you should do that… Yes?”
“Open it.”
“Go, my lord?”
"what?"
"Well, that won't do. An outsider entered the forbidden zone, and you opened the gates without even asking for punishment."
"hey."
"yes?"
“Are you going?”
“…….”
"Just open it, Inma. Don't make a big deal out of it."
"……yes."
“And if you pout awkwardly and make Wei Yanho angry, I’ll throw you in the poison soup, so just know that.”
“…….”
Dang Jong-gan looked at Wi Yeon-ho, who was warming himself by the brazier in a corner of the dragon pond, with a very dejected expression on his face.
'What did that guy say?'
Of course, he knew that the bastard had knocked down the head of the household and beaten the children to pieces at the front gate. No one with eyes or ears could possibly be unaware of this within the family.
But even so, this is the Tang family, isn't it? It might be possible elsewhere, but it's impossible to run wild like that inside the Tang family's belly. If the other clans or sects found out, how much would they ridicule the Tang family?
The Tang Dynasty could never sit idly by and watch such a situation unfold.
For the sake of the ruined prestige of this family, he sacrificed his entire body… … .
“What did you say?”
Dang Jong-gan flinched at Wi Yeon-ho's words that he blurted out.
“……I will open it for you.”
“Look at that. You’ve suffered so much that it was bound to happen anyway.”
Wi Yeon-ho clicked his tongue.
The hearts of the two brothers were also different.
And the one who was most embarrassed by this situation was the old man.
“Are you saying that the Lord told you to open it?”
"yes."
Judging by the expression on the face of the person answering, it doesn't seem like he's teasing me…
'Are you saying this kid is that influential?'
The old man looked at Wei Yanhu with renewed eyes.
Of course, he couldn't have been unaware of Wei Yanho's identity. Even if he had no interest in the outside world and lived solely within the armory, he couldn't have avoided hearing the name Wei Yanho, who was shaking his family.
But who would have thought that the head of the household would personally give the order to allow people into the forbidden area?
It started out as a craftsman's ambition, but he was aware it was a long shot. But who would have thought that child would shatter that long shot?
“……This way.”
The Dangjonggan trudged inward. The sight of the artisans chattering further aggravated his heart.
“Tsk.”
When Noya clicked his tongue as if he didn't like it, the craftsmen who had been glancing in this direction turned their gazes to the brazier.
Noya's craftsmanship was unintentionally helping Dangjonggan.
Dangjonggan, who had been trudging inside listlessly, saw a huge door leading down to the basement, and then weakly took a key out of his sleeve and inserted it into the keyhole.
Kikigigigi.
The key turned with an unpleasant noise, and the mechanism sprang into action, and the door swung open.
“Here it is.”
Wei Yanho's eyes shook.
“You want me to come in here?”
“Yes. This is where the white heron heads.”
Wi Yeon-ho pointed to the stairs shrouded in darkness with a sullen face.
“Honestly, I feel a bit awkward saying this.”
"yes?"
"This is the party house, and that's a basement that looks incredibly dangerous to anyone. Telling me to follow you there is a bit much. I imagine they'd just naturally go in and then the door would close."
The king was at a loss for words.
Fortunately, the old man spoke his mind.
"Who would build a trap in a place like this? If the enemy had invaded here, the party would have already been ruined. Rather than spending money on traps in a place like this, it would be more reasonable to build at least one more organization outside."
“Huh? Now that I hear it, that’s true.”
Wi Yeon-ho was quick to understand.
“Follow me. I’ll go in first.”
The old man walked inside with brisk strides, as if to dispel Wei Yanho's suspicions.
Wi Yeon-ho still had a slightly uneasy expression on his face, but he couldn't stand back as the old man walked in. He might be lazy, but he wasn't a coward.
“Go in, go in.”
Wi Yeon-ho straightened his shoulders and strode briskly up the stairs. But his natural fear seemed unavoidable. He stood before the stairs, stretched out his leg, then turned back and looked around.
“Why, why? What, what!”
Wi Yeon-ho stuck out his belly as he received the pitiful gazes of the craftsmen.
"You should live cautiously. If you show off your courage without reason, your life will be gone in an instant."
“……Okay, then let’s go in.”
At Dangjonggan's words, Wi Yeon-ho shrugged his shoulders and went down the stairs.
As Wi Yeon-ho disappeared, Dang Jong-gan let out a deep sigh.
“What was the Lord thinking in bringing such a fool into the family?”
It was a relationship where sighs never stopped.
'And it's a white heron.'
The face of the Tang Dynasty ruler took on a colder hue than before.
'I guess I'll have to report this separately. The head of the household is losing his mind.'
Dang Jong-gan, who had Dang Yong-min's face in his mind, turned around and left Yongso.
