## Chapter 1635 – 검머외전 – 천마무협

“Hey, you merchant.”
“Ugh, ugh… eugh?!”
“Ah. I didn’t release the hold. There. Move.”
“Dosa-niiiiiiiiim!”

I’m not a Dosa, but a Murder Dosa.

ㅡThump thump!
ㅡThump thump!
ㅡThump thump!

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for your grace, Dosa-nim!”
“Thank you so much for saving these insignificant beings!”

But as soon as I released them, the merchants prostrated themselves before me, banging their foreheads on the ground.

“Oh, look at these guys?”

To express their gratitude with such sincerity?

“Unlike the kids these days, they know a thing or two about manners, huh?”

Seeing the merchants expressing their heartfelt thanks like this made me feel good. Yeah. If you save someone’s life, they should at least perform the forehead-banging-on-the-floor performance so the person who saved them can laugh heartily.

These days, kids have no manners, so even if you save their lives, they just bow their heads. That’s clearly wrong.

If you save someone from drowning, they should show some sincerity by doing a gratitude headspin and a self-wringing performance.

“Hey. Stop banging your heads and get up.”

I thought this was just a strange world, but it seems like ordinary people have some sense of propriety.

“Yes!”
“Yes!”

ㅡSnap!

Then they stood at attention very politely. The more I see, the more I realize they know how to behave. I like people who know fear and manners.

“Thank you once again! Dosa-nim!”
“Yeah. Don’t forget that gratitude for the rest of your lives. By the way, what’s your name and title?”
“Ah! I am Seok Punghwi, the person in charge of this merchant group! We belong to the Geumchang Merchant Guild!”
“I see.”

I need to get some basic common sense about this world, so I’ll ask a few more things. Most of the knowledge I have now comes from those Demonic Cult bastards.

“A pretty well-known merchant guild.”
“Hehehe, that’s right.”

The Geumchang Merchant Guild is quite well-known in this area.

They say they have a bad relationship with the Green Forest Bandits who just disappeared as corpses. As a merchant guild, they’ve been paying the Green Forest Bandits the proper toll, but the Green Forest Bandits haven’t been providing corresponding services and have been repeatedly extorting them.

“No wonder you don’t get along.”
“That’s right! They’re not acting like human beings! If you receive money, you have to do work that corresponds to it! But they only care about money and don’t do any work…!”
“Of course, of course. You have to be thorough when it comes to money.”

He seems to have a lot pent up.

“But Seok Punghwi.”
“Yes! Dosa-nim!”
“Why are you calling me Dosa-nim?”
“Yes? W-well, didn’t you just use mysterious Taoist arts to evaporate the Green Forest Bandits?”

That’s right.

“Do you call someone who uses this kind of power a Dosa?”
“Uh… isn’t that right? Dosa-nim just eliminated all the Green Forest Bandits scattered around with a single punch. And you used a mysterious power to keep us from moving.”

He has a very questioning expression. Well, even if it were me, I’d be embarrassed if someone like a Dosa asked me why I called them Dosa.

It seems like they call someone who uses ranged attacks like me a Dosa.

“I see. Then are there more Dosas like me around here?”
“I wouldn’t say nearby, but of course, there will be Dosa-nims in large families or sects. Other than those people, I don’t know. Dosa-nims are such mysterious people.”

The number of Dosas is small.

And they have a mysterious image.

“Ah, but there are quite a few Murim people.”
“Murim people?”
“Yes. Murim.”

According to the explanation, the Murim people here are like warriors who have gained power through training.

In addition to enhanced physical abilities, they can use superhuman strength. Just listening to it, it sounded exactly like a knight who trained in mana.

“Then do those Murim people also use alchemy?”
“Yes? Alchemy, you say?”

Hmm?

What is it?

Judging from his reaction, he doesn’t seem to know much about alchemy.

“Isn’t alchemy something that… Dosa-nims use? More than anything, it’s very expensive, and the method itself is secret, so…”
“Is that so?”

I understand.

Just looking at it, it seems like the Dosas are using evil alchemy. The Murim people just train normally.

“Then you don’t know much about alchemy?”
“Yes. That’s right. If I knew that much, I wouldn’t be a merchant, I’d be employed by some big family.”
“I see.”

This merchant is a mid-level manager in a fairly well-known merchant guild.

And that guy doesn’t know much about alchemy.

No. He knows that it exists, but he only knows that it’s used by Dosas and that it’s mysterious. He doesn’t know at all that it’s a product of human sacrifice and other cursed, evil rituals.

“Hmm.”

Does that mean that this general public line doesn’t know the true nature of alchemy at all? And that powerful families are monopolizing the knowledge and secretly using it among themselves?

“Not good.”

It’s outrageously evil.

A group that monopolizes knowledge and slaughters humans. These are literally heretics… bastards. I need to go and tear off all their heads right away.

If that Emperor guy is really such an axis of evil, I’ll kill him in an instant and spread Kim Katt’s fusion Confucianism in this land. That wouldn’t be bad either.

It’s been a while since I’ve made a constructive and sound plan to kill something and restore order, so I’m starting to feel better rapidly.

“Hehehe.”

I have to kill all the bastards who deserve to die.

Judging by the looks of things, I need to do some sword dancing. I already have a mountain of things to do to manage this world.

“D-Dosa-nim…?”

The merchant asked, looking a little scared as I laughed.

“No. It’s nothing. Ah. By the way. What kind of training do Murim people do?”
“Ah. I know about that. They absorb the Qi of this world, store it in their bodies, and train their minds and bodies.”
“So the Murim people train Qi in that way, and the Dosas use alchemy.”
“That’s usually the case.”

The merchant agrees.

“But… how does Dosa-nim not know such things…?”
“Ah, I’ve been living in the mountains, so I don’t know much about common sense. Don’t worry about it.”
“Y-yes…”
“Ah. Merchant. Are there more Green Forest Bandits nearby?”
“Yes. There will be quite a few around here.”
“Is that so?”

ㅡHwaaaak.

I immediately expanded my senses to grasp the surroundings. Sure enough. There were a lot of Green Forest Bandit bastards. There are also many suspicious movements observed.

I’m going to have a soft conversation with the Emperor, but Righteous Man Kim Katt is not the kind of person who can just pass by robbers in front of him.

The slogan of Righteous Man Kim Katt.

That is.

「If you see murderous robbers, kill the robbers.」

That’s what it is.

As soon as Heavenly Demon Kim Katt witnesses robbers, he kills them all and then takes everything they have. That’s a strict principle that doesn’t change even if the world changes.

“What’s the name of the Green Forest Bandits group?”
“They belong to the Pungwol Branch of the Green Forest 108 Bandits.”

What the hell? There are 108 robber groups?

This place must be a mess.

“Then merchant! I’ll be leaving now, so take care of the injured and live well!”
“Ah, aaah! Dosa-niiiiiiiiim!”

As soon as I kicked off the ground and flew up, the merchant’s voice faded away. Looking down, sure enough. The merchants were bowing as if they were worshiping some god.

“Saving people. This is so heartwarming.”

I can’t be this heartwarming just from killing a few robbers.

          *     *     *

Figuring out the location of the Green Forest Bandits’ evil headquarters was really too simple.

These bastards were living in a fairly large wooden structure built in a basin area in the middle of the mountain. Looking at it, sure enough. There were warehouses full of wealth, and there were also buildings where women and children were being held.

In addition, I also found out that a carriage carrying women and children was going somewhere.

“Are these bastards also involved in human trafficking?”

The Green Forest Bandits are a criminal organization. Maybe those Dosas from powerful families are using the Green Forest Bandits to procure materials for alchemy?

“I can’t stand the curiosity!”

Then I have to ask the leader here!

ㅡKwaang!

So I landed, stomping on the roof of the Pungwol Branch headquarters.

ㅡKugugugugugugung!
ㅡKugugung!
ㅡKugugugugugugung!

Of course, there’s no way a building like this can withstand my majesty. I just broke through and descended, layer by layer.

Roughly grasping it, the strongest guy was on the middle floor. It’s a free pass straight to there.

“Uwaaaaaaaagh!”
“Kyaaaaaagh!”
“Oeoeeoeoeoeoeok!”

As I break through the building and go down, blood splatters and screams erupt from everywhere. The Green Forest Bandits who are caught up in it are being ground away. In short, good things are happening.

Anyway, I released my power as soon as I arrived on the middle floor.

ㅡWajangchang!

“Heuaaaagh!”

The moment I broke through the ceiling and descended, dust rose and a mess broke out.

“Hmm?”

But there’s a pot under my foot?
Is this a restaurant?

Were these bastards eating?

“Ah, shit! That damned Hwagollan!!!”

Hwagollan?

I looked at the pot I stepped on.

“Oh.”

What was inside was a stew made from a young child.

“What! What’s going on!”
“Cough cough!”
“T-the ceiling collapsed! Branch Lord!”
“You son of a bitch! How did you build the building that the ceiling collapsed! Bring all the guys who made it here!”
“Should we bring their kids too!”

The burly Green Forest Bandit guys were cooking and eating young children.

ㅡHwaaaak.

Soon the dust cleared.

“Uh-oh?”
“M-my god! What a size!”
“W-was that guy falling from the ceiling…?”

The Green Forest Bandits opened their mouths as they looked at me.

“Hey! Hey! Snap out of it! Take out your weapons!”

The Branch Lord reacted, but what’s the point?

This Kim Katt has descended.

“Hello Princess!”
“Eok?!”

I immediately picked up the Branch Lord in a princess carry!

“Do you know what an accordion is?”
“What are you… Hey! Kill this guy!”

Shall we play some accordion?

“Music start!”
“Kwiyeoooooooeeeeoooooong!”
