Episode 321 In the darkness under the lamp.
I was left alone on the off-stage for a moment and looked around at the people who were grouped in groups of threes and fives and walking away.
“… … .”
It was getting dark.
There was no mood to continue dancing after dinner. I came down off the stage, walked slowly with my back to me, and passed by the group of white-robed students I had in mind from the beginning.
The voice was so low that it was hard to hear, but the tone was like an argument.
“Why does that guy call you comrade?”
“What kind of question is that?”
“for a moment…….”
The conversation suddenly stopped, as if someone had spotted me passing by.
I felt the eyes of the white-clothed student looking at me, but I didn’t bother to turn my head. Soon there was an uncomfortable silence. Finally, out of frustration, I looked at the group of white-robed students, and they were all glaring at me as I passed by.
I said to the white student.
“Untitled, enjoy your dinner.”
“… … .”
I didn’t say anything bad, but the white-robed student glared at me. Looking at it like this, it seemed like Deungpyeong especially hated me. Looking at the structure of the conversation, it seems that Deungpyeong was interrogating me about my relationship with the white-robed scholar.
It can’t be helped.
Jeunjong, the expression ‘comrade’, even the white-robed scholar’s sudden dance… … .
The person who asked the question did not seem to be a disciple of the White Clothed Scholar in any case. Given the nature of the white-clothed student, his student would not have been able to even ask such a question.
The reason I care about that group of white-robed students is simple.
This is because the white-robed scholar appeared so shamelessly.
How did you find out about the news?
Why did he join the Murim Alliance so boldly?
I guess there might be a reason for all this shamelessness.
Moreover, I know that in a past life, a white-robed scholar joined the Murim Alliance.
That is a fact only I know.
What happened to the guy who was called the evil emperor?
This means that he had a status that allowed him to enter and leave the Murim Alliance in the first place.
When I arrived at Wolhagwan, I took a table with the Four Major Villains and had dinner.
To what extent have we formed a consensus? … .
We talked quietly while eating dinner. His eldest brother was also thinking similarly, he asked me while eating.
“It’s a bit unexpected that he’s here. “Didn’t you say that you attacked an open ark before?”
I nodded.
The color demon looked at the sword demon.
“There must be a reason for being so shameless. In fact, if the third person had revealed his identity, he would have received the support of the kings right there.”
The Sword Demon nodded and asked me.
“Is there a reason you hid your identity?”
I nodded.
“Let’s go up and talk first after eating.”
There were several places to stay, but the number of people at Wolhagwan’s restaurant was increasing anyway, so we ate quietly for a while.
***
We talked while drinking tea in Geomma’s room.
“… … Although it may sound a little strange. “I’m trying to find a reason for being so shameless.”
The demon asked.
“Speak comfortably.”
I said while looking at the Four Major Villains.
“We are not enemies with the Mohists.”
“It did.”
“We probably won’t become enemies with the farmers mentioned by Mohist. Seo Saeng forces are individual. What I mean is… … If you blindly define a white-robed scholar as an enemy, you will have to deal with him as an enemy. But if you just leave it alone, it means that it might not be an enemy. It’s just a variable. Anyway, my face and skills will all be exposed this time, so the military council or Gongsun Yue will draw and record my appearance. His skills were so high that he even became Emperor Wu. “I can no longer act like a mysterious person or a black man.”
The color demon asked.
“Then what about the attack on the Open Ark earlier?”
“It’s simpler. I intervened and the fight ended. Senior Shingae is alive and well. Rather, I was the problem because I killed a lot of the Western forces. “That’s why a dispute arose with Seo Saeng Chu Myeong.”
The demon asked.
“Then does Baekui’s behavior differ from that of Cheonak?”
“At that time, I saw that Cheonak and Baekui were not in a hierarchical relationship. He seemed like a friend who had no motives or faults. If that’s the case, I wonder if there’s one more person above him, but it’s the student who is the commander in chief… … .”
I am guessing that it is the Lord of the Gaedang, but I could not reveal without any basis to the Four Major Villains that it is the Lord of the Kaedang.
At this point we stopped talking and looked down the hallway.
After hearing footsteps, Mengwon announced.
“Take it easy today. “We will continue our business again tomorrow morning.”
I opened my mouth after the footsteps disappeared.
“… … The very existence of these bastards is questionable. “It’s always unclear whether it’s an enemy or an ally.”
If I had to simply summarize what I was doing, I left room to create divisions between the white-robed students and other students.
Sword Demon said.
“First of all, it would be better to tell the leader about the white robe student.”
“hmm.”
“That way there won’t be any misunderstandings.”
I looked at the swordsman and answered nonchalantly.

“Is it possible that Lord Lim is a bastard?”
“No way.”
The demon said with a surprised expression.
“Wow, are you even doubting the leader now?”
“I mean, it doesn’t matter if Lord Lim is a bastard, but you have to be careful. Anyway, the faction of scholars is a chaotic mixture of villains and non-villains. It’s a sh*t organization. The problem is that I don’t know which ones there are more… … . “Until today, I didn’t know that part of the Sinbuk Five Lakes was from the West.”
The color demon said.
“So what you’re saying is that even if Lord Lim is a student, he’s still a good student, right? Like Mohist.”
“yes.”
The Sword Demon asked.
“Is it a hunch?”
“The chances of him being a bastard are very small. But I don’t know why the white-robed scholar shamelessly joined the Murim Alliance. So bold. No matter how curious I am about Bimu, it’s not worth risking my life for. If I had tried to mislead the situation with my words earlier, that guy would have been killed or caught today thanks to the combined efforts of the martial arts leaders. If he had looked at Lord Lim after accusing him of being the one who attacked the open ark with Cheonak, Lord Lim would have given the order to attack or pulled out his sword first. If Lord Lim gave an order, the kings would have no choice but to move. If we join forces with Taowang, Geomwang, Gwonwang, Seomun, and Namgung, how will that guy survive? He must have been caught first. But even if he gets caught, he’s not the kind of guy who’ll say anything. That’s because he’s the type of crazy guy. “He is a man of the type who is immune to torture and threats.”
The demon nodded.
“So, first of all, it’s better to find out why that guy was able to shamelessly join the Murim Alliance.”
“I guess so?”
“But there are loopholes in what you say.”
“What?”
“You probably didn’t know you’d suddenly be in the Murim Alliance. You probably already had some kind of status as an acquaintance of Shinbuk Oho.”
“That could be the case.”
For a moment I looked down at my arms.
As I was imagining various things, I was getting goosebumps on my forearms, and the Four Great Evils were all looking at me.
The color demon asked.
“What’s wrong with your forearms?”
There is a gap between what I knew in my past life and what I know now. The story of the white-clothed librarian that I vaguely know about in my past life is that he was a librarian for the magic power.
What I actually know now is that he is the library manager of the Seo Saeng faction.
There is a difference between what I knew in my past life and what I know now.
Afterwards, it is said that the Baekui student was hated by someone and moved to the Murim Alliance in his past life, but that is a bit questionable.
This is because we have no choice but to guess the intention itself.
Maybe what I knew in my past life wasn’t accurate information. This is because they were not in a relationship where they could even figure out the lies of the white robe student.
But as I thought about this, I suddenly got goosebumps.
I got up and spoke to the four great evildoers.
“I’ll go meet Lord Lim first. Information must be exchanged. “I have some questions.”
The Sword Demon nodded.
“Please come back.”
I quietly left the room and headed to Maengjujeon.
I organized my thoughts while walking. I was acting almost on intuition, and I felt like I could only resolve the question with the help of Lim So-baek.
However, I have one wish.
I hope that Lim So-baek is not a scholar-power.
This is because he is a person who suits the role of a leader very well. When he arrived before Mengju and revealed the purpose of his visit to his escorts, he was told to wait.
After a while, Mengwon spoke.
“I will guide you. Let’s go.”
This was my second visit and it felt quite different. However, the guide said the same thing as the previous visit.
“Lord Meng, I brought Hao Wenju.”
“Come in.”
Maengwon opened the door.
“Please come in.”
I looked at Lim So-baek, who was drinking black tea at his desk.
“Lord.”
Lim So-baek pointed to the opposite direction and poured tea.
“Sit down. “I knew you would come.”
“yes.”
I looked at the desk and there was another teacup. Lim Sobaek spoke to me as he poured black tea into an empty cup.
“If your lord offered you tea containing poison, would you drink it without hesitation? Otherwise, you won’t drink it. “If you drink it, it’s poison, and if you don’t drink it, it’s resistance.”
He pushed the black tea water towards me.
Im So-baek looked at me while drinking tea. I asked because the tea looked tasteless.
“You have to drink it first. It looks very tasteless. Is it medicine? “Please at least have some honey.”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“It’s medicine. What kind of medicine is it? “Let me guess.”
I picked up the teacup and smelled it first.
“It’s a fire medicine.”
Lim So-baek answered with a surprised expression.
“uh? How did know?”
How to know… … I knew it because Teacher Moyong cooked it.
I looked at Lin Xiaobai while drinking tea and frowned. It was similar, but this one tasted a little more bitter.
“eww… … .”
Lim So-baek said with a grin.
“What if it’s poisonous? “You’re taking it well.”
“It’s about as good as Baekdokbulchim. By the way, how did you know I was coming?”
“We have something to ask each other, so either I call you or you come. “Who should ask first?”
I nodded.
“Somehow, I want to hear what the leader has to say first.”
Lim Sobaek crossed his arms, tilted his chair back slightly, and looked at me.
“Where should I start talking? Why did you hide the white robe student? Could it be that Munju is also Seosaeng’s disciple? “Somehow I don’t think so.”
Hey, you have such an original question?
For a moment, I suspected that Lim So-baek might be a scholar, and Lim So-baek seemed to suspect that I might be a disciple of a scholar.
However, we did not show any signs on the off-stage.
It was a truly refreshing question and answer, and it was like looking into the darkness under each other’s lamps.
I looked at Lim Sobaek.
“Today’s conversation is going to be a bit long.”
“I think so too.”
“Where should I start? First of all, how did you know that he was a white-robed student?”
Lim So-baek said.
“I didn’t know the truth.”
“hmm.”
“But the moment you mentioned that you were a white coat teacher, I knew right away that you were a white coat teacher and not a white coat teacher.”
Now that I think about it, this person is the Murim lord. I do not know what information has been updated and reported. However, an enormous amount of information would have been conveyed.
Only then did I ask about one person’s current situation.
“What is Noshin doing these days?”
“Recently, for various reasons, I have been temporarily imprisoned in prison.”
“Still, you probably got information about the Western forces from Noshin, right?”
“When I first brought him here, he spoke well. “I’m going to give you a few drinks.”
Noh Shin is the one who betrayed his master after being tricked by the white robe student. Of course, he knows quite a bit about Seosaeng. He must have come into the Murim Alliance and told it to Lord Lim.
So, Im So-baek also knew more about Seo-saeng than he did in his previous life. Although he didn’t show it, Im So-baek was a meticulous man. He hid what he knew and had the patience to watch the situation.
Lim So-baek said.
“Munju, you haven’t answered yet. The reason why you hid Baek-ui-seosaeng. If he was the one who tried to kill the Ark of Gae-bong, he is definitely an enemy of the Murim Alliance. Even if Senior Shingae just let it go, I can’t do the same.”
I nodded.
“I guess it’s the same reason the Lord didn’t kill the white-robed student on the off-stage. As you know, students are ambiguous people. If you treat it as an enemy, it will become an enemy, and if you leave it alone, you don’t know whether it will become an enemy or an ally. Even if I tried to hide it, if Lord Maeng had given the order, the white-robed scholar would have died today. “It’s the same reason why Lord Maeng sent Chu Myeong away in Dongho.”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“right. “There was a reason for that, and I also believed that there must be a reason because you were so thoughtful.”
Anyway, Lim Sobaek and I seemed to have put the situation aside for now while trusting each other.
“In the end, the result was not bad for the white-clothed student against the Seomun guy. “Anyway, what was it that made you run as soon as you ate?”
“Iknow, right.”
In fact, some of my thoughts and speculations were not organized, so I came here to put them together.
I said while looking at Lim Sobaek.
“There’s a place I want to go, and I could go there with you. I think it would be good for me to go alone. “Anyway, you can only go if you give permission.”
“Where?”
I answered right away, looking at Lim So-baek’s expression.
“I want to see the secret archives of the Murim League.”
When I mentioned a place, Lim So-baek’s expression calmed down.
“note?”
“Is that possible?”
Reasoning and intuition have no limits. This is why I got goosebumps while talking to the Four Major Villains.
There is a cave in the Murim Alliance that not just anyone can enter.
Vigo literally means a secret warehouse, which includes a library.
Lim So-baek said.
“I’m a little embarrassed. No one can enter Vigo without my permission. I don’t think I’m the type of person who wants to have weapons or covet martial arts books. “Can I just understand that it means I want to see you?”
“yes.”
“I think I would be very shocked if the reason I wanted to see Vigo was related to the Western faction.”
“I don’t know because I haven’t seen it either.”
Lim Sobaek pressed his temples with his thumbs for a moment and then said.
“Jaha.”
“yes.”
“You may not be an ally, but I trust you. But it is a place where only a limited number of people can enter and exit. Anyway, I’ll guide you, so let’s go together when it gets a little darker. Drink some of that tea. “If you suddenly bring someone who is not a member to Vigo, the members will be surprised.”
“yes.”
The two of us sipped on the healing tea and waited for a moment for it to get darker.
Lim So-baek seemed deep in thought today. He looked as if he was reminiscing about old times, or as if he was organizing his thoughts.
In the darkness under the lamp… … .
It gave me the feeling of going to see what was there.
