Reincarnation of the Fist King Chapter 136

Episode 136

Visiting the King of Power and the King of Water 2

"We're just mercenaries, so we can't guide you to the King. Naturally, we're not on good terms."

Danwoo Seong is not someone who would fall for such lies.

As the man who had been sitting with his head held out to Dan Woo-seong tried to stand up with a frown on his face, Dan Woo-seong pressed his head with his hand again and spoke.

"That's the official answer. In this day and age, do pirates make money solely by raiding and robbing travelers? Of course not. Don't all swordsmen pay tribute to the King of the Water King? Unless a king of swordsmen emerges."

They had that kind of relationship.

Those who do not hire a salesman will have their water supply completely emptied.

The traveler who hired the blacksmith was secretly sent away. The blacksmith then donated the profits he earned there back to the waterway.

Those trying to cross the river, the mercenaries, and the pirates were all intertwined.

There were many betrayals, some who operated while occupying a single stream, and there were frequent cases where the swindlers became the enemy.

Anyway, the owner of this club is the leader of the Surochae. The leader would engage in this kind of power struggle, only to change people.

When Danwoo Sung spoke as if he knew everything, the swordsman had no choice but to say something else.

“What on earth do you plan to do by meeting the King?”

Danwoo Seong replied.

"I want to see what it looks like, what it thinks about, and whether it's useful or not. Then I guess we should meet."

“The King has too many subordinates to go and see something like that. He is especially hostile to outsiders and people from the mainland.”

Danwoo-seong laughed hollowly.

“You sound like a land person.”

One of the subordinates, still not fully awake, muttered something in passing.

“If you die in Dongho, it will be difficult to find your body.”

Because they are made into fish food by being stored in a water tank.

“That’s my situation. And I have more people.”

No one believed Danwoo Sung's words, but it was not something the man could choose.

“Then I will guide you.”

Still, he was a quick-witted man. He stood up and spoke with an expression that made the other brothers feel self-restrained.

“You guys just stay here and wait.”

"yes."

“Sohyeop, please go.”

Only then did Danwoo-seong release his grip on his head. When the man glared at him with a frown, he struck him on the back of the head.

puck!

The man's forehead fell on the table, the table split in half, and the man, who had been hit on the back of the head, lay on the floor of the guest room, showing no sign of getting up.

Danwoo Sung looked indifferently at the faces of those who had been laughing for a long time and asked about what had happened earlier like a man who had a grudge.

“Are you laughing?”

This time, no one laughed.

Danwoo-seong said as he walked away.

“These little pieces of trash that aren’t even worth beating to death······.”

In the midst of the silence, Danwoo Seong spoke as if warning the leader who was ahead.

“They take you to an island where there’s no one. Or you jump into the water while we’re on a boat and blow a hole in the boat… Anyway, if you don’t lead me to the King of Water, I’ll personally track you down and kill you and all the guys in the inn. Do you understand?”

The man ahead replied.

“Okay.”

The man walked over with a bewildered expression. He looked like a wealthy young man who hadn't suffered much, but his speech was no different from Noh Kang-ho's.

.

.

.

Baek-myo, on his first boat, rocked, fidgeting on Dan-woo-seong's shoulder, his eyes wide. He held onto Dan-woo-seong's shoulder with his claws out. When Baek-myo panicked, Dan-woo-seong carefully stroked Baek-myo's forelegs and spoke.

"It's okay. Even if you fall, you won't die if you have the skills. You're afraid of water…"

The man who was rowing the boat himself asked.

“Is that guy a spirit? He doesn’t seem like an ordinary cat.”

Danwoo-seong nodded while looking at the man.

“As you can see.”

The man said.

“My name is Song Il-gyu, and I have lived in Dongho for over twenty years. Could you tell me the name of your small group?”

“I don’t know.”

“Um······ Do you have a grudge against Surochae?”

Danwoo-seong nodded.

“Yes.”

Song Il-gyu, who was quick-witted, asked cautiously.

“Are you planning to kill them all?”

“If possible.”

Song Il-gyu swallowed hard.

'It seems like he's not an ordinary expert.'

Buoys floated in front of the boat. Chains connected them, and a sluice gate, made of sharpened wood erected like a wall, blocked the boat's direction.

Song Il-gyu shouted at the soldiers standing guard.

“I have come to see the King.”

“Mr. Song, who is the man you came with?”

“You came to see the King.”

“So who are you?”

Song Il-gyu looked at Dan Woo-seong, not knowing how to respond.

Danwoo Seong replied.

“The night lord has come.”

"yes?"

“Tell them so.”

Song Il-gyu shouted.

“The leader of the House Night Alliance has arrived.”

"Mr. Song, what the hell are you talking about. You crazy bastard… What did you eat wrong? Why would the leader of Namheukdo come here alone?"

After Danwoo-seong got up from the boat, he told Baekmyo not to be surprised.

“Hold on tight.”

Then, Danwoo-seong, who had risen from the boat, stepped on a buoy once, and as the buoys sank below the water's surface, he jumped over a dozen buoys in one go, then stepped on another buoy as if bouncing it off, stretched out, and fell lightly to the land.

When the startled white cat cried out······.

The sharp cry of a beast echoed throughout Suwangdo Island.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaah!”

After confirming the land, Baekmyo landed and shivered for a moment. Then, Danwoo-seong burst out laughing.

“Hahahahahahahaha······.”

Danwooseong's laughter, as loud as the howling of Baekmyo, spread throughout Suwangdo.

Then, Danwoo Seong spoke in a voice full of inner strength.

“Suwang, come out. I need to see your face.”

Does Danwoo-seong hold a grudge against his enemies? He does.

Because he is the son of the upper class of the galaxy.

There is a friend in the West Wind Country, and a husband in the Taeho Mountains.

Danwoo-seong had plenty to talk about with the king who reigned over Dongho like a ruler.

Not only the Galaxy Merchant Group, the West Wind Merchant Group, and the Taeho Merchant Group, but also other merchant groups must have risked their lives or been forced to pay extra for passage across the East Lake. Of course, despite the longer distance, most chose the detour by heading down the estuary.

But now that Danwoosung has arrived, there will be no need for the merchants to move around so hecticly.

Moreover, since Danwoo-seong was the leader of the House Night Alliance, there was a lot to threaten.

The Murim Alliance was not accustomed to water battles, and even without Dongho, there would be a lot to do, but Danwoo Seong would simply give Ha Jeonghak a command and he would lead the entire Jipyemaeng to the Suwangdo Island.

The entire Suwangdo Island was awake and bustling with activity due to the unusual howls of animals and the laughter of Danwoo.

Danwoo Castle climbed the steep riverbank and looked ahead, where the king of the waters was staying. Who on earth could have built such a castle on such an island? Moss and vines clung to the walls, and here and there, scorched by fire, some stones were of different colors, as if newly laid down. It seemed as if the castle had been here for quite some time.

Danwoo Seong headed to the King's castle.

.

.

.

Figures from the Suwangchae, emerging from the walls, looked down on Danwooseong. Perhaps because they were numerous, they carried a large number of ranged weapons. Many, in particular, were aiming bows.

Danwoo-seong said while looking up at the castle wall.

“You can’t shoot that.”

Someone frowned and replied.

“You crazy bastard.”

The white cat was looking up at the castle wall with its eyes wide open, and its fur was standing on end as if it sensed the killing intent.

Danwoo-seong spoke again as if making a request to his enemies.

“Don’t shoot. Open the door and guide me to the water king.”

At this moment, an arrow flew towards Danwoo Seong's chest.

Wedge!

As Danwoo-seong took a step to the side to dodge the arrow, the white cat leaped up as if it were being thrown from his shoulder, ran up the wall, and then transformed into a full-grown adult with a roar.

“Kyaaaaah!”

As the white cat on the wall moved left and right, swinging its front paws······.

Danwoo-seong sighed with his arms crossed.

“I told you not to shoot.”

Perhaps it was anger that had kept it trembling on the ship for so long. As it began to thrash and lash out with its forelegs, those on the walls fell in and out. As screams grew louder, someone shouted in a deep voice from within the castle walls.

“Stop talking nonsense and open the door!”

He seemed to be a water king. He had a booming voice, even without any internal energy. It seemed like a commander who frequently engaged in water battles needed a voice like that.

Only then did the door open.

Baekmyo, who was causing chaos by repelling the enemies, flew down from the air and attacked Danwooseong.

Even Danwoo Sung was startled and took a step back, but Baekmyo, who had returned to the size of a cat, kicked the ground once and climbed onto his shoulder.

"phew."

Then, the King, carrying the cat on his shoulder, entered the King's castle. Since Baek-myo had opened the way, Dan-woo-seong gently tapped Baek-myo's forepaw and spoke.

“You’ve worked hard.”

As I entered the main gate, a tall man standing far away shouted while holding a sword.

“What kind of person are you!”

The leaders of the water channels lined up on both sides of the man, and the enemy drew their weapons in a formation to surround Danwoo Castle, which had entered the entrance.

As Danwoo-seong was about to say something, the room became quiet for a moment.

Danwoo-seong looked around at the people of Suwangchae and said.

"He's the son of a merchant. He's a friend of the heir to the throne, and his stepfather is in the Taeho Sangdan. I've come to talk to you about business. King Su…"

Danwoo-seong walked through the encirclement as if entering his own home, approaching the king. However, the man with the fierce appearance of Jangbi wasn't the king. He was a vanguard general. Behind the man who was shouting, a man's voice spoke for the first time.

“Make way for me.”

As the men holding the weapons stepped back to the left and right, a man walked out and sat down on the steps.

He was young for a Chae Joo.

I must be in my mid-twenties.

Ironically, he was around the same age as Danwoo Sung.

He was roughly clad in a beast's hide, but beneath, his skin was exposed. He was the leader of the Surochae, yet his attire was no different from that of a verdant forest. He wore a headband like the Yellow Turban Bandits, and his long hair flowed down to his shoulders in tangles.

He had a rather cheerful and manly face. Furthermore, he was chewing something that looked like unidentifiable seaweed in his mouth.

Danwoo Seong narrowed his eyes as soon as he saw the man.

Because it looked familiar somehow.

Danwoo Seong asked.

“You’re the water king?”

King Lee Sin-pyo nodded and replied with a sly smile.

“He is the King now. But in the future, he will also be the man who will unite the Surochae and the Nokrim.”

Danwoo-seong nodded.

"ah······."

Only then did Danwoo Seong realize who King Suwang Lee Shinpyo was.

Lee Ja was the son of the Green Forest King who was defeated by the combination of Cheonma and Geomma.

Danwoo Seong knew the face of the King of the Green Forest, having been similar in age to him in a previous life and having been called "King" by the same name. Therefore, Lee Shinpyo's face was bound to be familiar.

I was planning to talk to him and beat him to death if he didn't respond and take down the Suwangchae as well, but if he was the son of the King of the Green Forest, the conversation had to change direction.

Lee Shin-pyo asked.

“Who are you?”

Danwoo Seong looked at Lee Shinpyo blankly and said.

“I took revenge on the Green Forest King.”

Lee Shin-pyo, startled, spat out the seaweed he had in his mouth and then asked again.

"what?"

Judging by his surprised expression, he was definitely the son of the Green Forest King.
