Chapter 287 – 288. Money Can Even Buy Love.

“Please give me a little time. I will convince the princess.”

Seonwoo looked at Buk Gung-yeon with a confident look and opened his mouth.

Looking at Seonwoo like that, Bukgungyeon looked at him as if he was dumbfounded.

It was because Sunwoo felt embarrassed by his remarks.

Can money buy not only ice crystals but also the future of the North Sea Ice Palace?

What the hell does that mean

The future of the North Sea Ice Palace is not a vegetable traded in the market, but how can it be bought and sold with money?

She didn’t understand

What is that crazy man talking about

And with what kind of confidence do you say such a thing?

Is there no such thing as fear?

In the eyes of Buk Gung-yeon, Seon-wu was at most a human being of the level of Sang-gyeong in Hwa-gyeong.

Of course, he could also be said to have reached her highest level, but from her point of view, she has already reached the state of anti-seon.

But what the hell do you believe in and talk like that?

Do you believe in a man called the swordsman?

But soon, Buk Gung-yeon shook her head slightly from side to side.

If the swordsman had been hiding and waiting, there was no way she wouldn’t notice.

There was no swordsman.

Anywhere.

Northern Gung-Yeon began to deepen her doubts.

So, what do you mean by confidence?

Soon, her doubts turned to intense curiosity.

And curiosity developed into the idea that it might be okay to listen to the story at least once.

I wanted to turn him into an ice statue right away, but I thought it would be okay to hear an excuse before that.

“Convince me. Instead, if you don’t agree, I’ll consider you as a molester and turn me into a block of ice.”

Buk Gung-yeon looked at her Seon-woo and spoke in a bleak voice.

There was a chill in her voice that was so cold that it gave her goosebumps even at a great distance.

Gulp

Facing her cold voice, Seonwoo gulped and swallowed her saliva.

It was because she felt a tremendous chill in her chilling voice.

She won’t just sound like a try.

Listen to her own words, and if you don’t understand her, you will definitely freeze yourself.

Sunwoo thought.

She had to convince her at all costs, she said.

Sunwoo slowly raised his gaze.

Then, looking at her with her straight eyes, she opened her mouth.

“Right now, the princess is making a big mistake.”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you see money as just a medium through which tangible things can be bought and sold?”

“What did you mean by that!”

“Money can buy everything, including food, precious metals, and clothes, all of which are intangible besides the tangible.”

“Lie, how can you buy something with no form with money?”

“Anything of value can be bought with all the money.”

“Then do you think you can buy people’s emotions with money?”

“Of course. Money can even buy love.”

“Sophistry, do you think a relationship made of money is a true relationship?”

“Even the truth can be bought with money.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Love is not true? It’s because of lack of money. Give me more money. I’ll jump into the fire because I love passionately.”

“It’s nonsense. How can you be sure that money isn’t the first value people seek in life?”

“Then what do you think is the value that you seek first in life?”

“That’s not the kind of thing that can be defined. Everyone’s pursuit is different. But at least I don’t think it’s about money.”

“I agree. Money can’t be your first value. It’s essential.”

“How can you say that?”

Buk Gung-yeon continued his speech with a puzzled expression.

What kind of dog logic is this?

“No matter what value humans pursue, money is bound to go into the foundation. Money is so closely intertwined with human life that it is inseparable.”

“It’s bullshit.”

Hearing Seonwoo’s words, Bukgungyeon shuddered and continued.

“Why do you think it’s bullshit?”

“There’s no way people need money for the value they pursue!”

“Then do you have any examples to refute?”

Sunwoo said with a slight smile as if mocking.

“…I heard that there are people in the central plains who are stuck in the mountains and valleys and only seek the way.”

“Are you talking about a guru?”

“Yes. Taoists, they only pursue the value of Taoism and spend their entire lives training in deep mountains and valleys. Do they need money?”

“Required.”

Hearing her words, Sunwoo continued with a firm tone.

“If Taoists are also human beings who eat, sleep, and fight, how can they not need money?”

“What?”

“Even if they don’t wear it themselves, there’s no place where money doesn’t go into anything, from the uniforms they wear, the Byukgokdan they eat, and the bed they lie down on. Money is the foundation that helps them reach the value they seek. It is.”

“If you think about it that way, what is there that doesn’t cost money!”

Buk Gung-yeon, who heard Seon-woo’s words, raised her voice to the fullest and shouted.

There was no such thing as not spending money if you looked at everything in such detail.

Unless they are self-sufficient and living in remote areas.

“So, didn’t I tell you? Even if each person has different values, the bottom line is that money has to be the bottom line. Except for people who live primitively in remote areas.”

“…”

At Seonwoo’s eloquent words, Buk Gung-yeon bit her mouth tightly.

Sophistry

She said it was nonsense and she wanted to scream but couldn’t.

Because she couldn’t think of anything to refute.

In the first place, where can a human being live without money?

What can I say to him who talks about the necessity of such money?

She just kept her mouth shut like a mute who had eaten honey.

And seeing her like that, Seonwoo called her joy into her heart.

Even though she was telling her honestly, Seonwoo was worried that she might surprise her.
Fortunately, however, she listened to Seonwoo properly and showed a somewhat shaken appearance.

Seonwoo felt it.

Let’s drive her wedge now that she’s shaking.

Sunwoo was about to open her mouth.

“Okay, I understand. I think I was mistaken. As you said, humans need money to achieve the values ​​they pursue. I agree. As you said, it may not be wrong to say that even values ​​are bought with money. Money If you don’t, you won’t have the energy to think about anything worthwhile.”

Bukgungyeon said to Seonwu with a serious expression on his face.

“But”

Buk Gung-yeon looked at Seon-woo with cold eyes and continued her words.

“I can’t agree with the statement that the future of the North Sea can be bought. Ice crystals are treasures that can nurture the soldiers of the North Sea. But if I hand over such a treasure to you, how are you going to rebuild the North Sea Ice Palace?”

The Northern Palace could not agree.

The author’s bold statement that money can buy the future of the ice palace.

I couldn’t live.

The North Sea Ice Palace is a school that pursues martial arts.

The ruler of the North Sea, the protector of the North Sea, or the Supreme of the North Sea

It is called by many names, but in the end, the essence is a school that pursues martial arts.

For the North Sea Ice Palace, ice crystals had irreplaceable value.

The power of a school that pursues martial arts is proportional to the number and strength of its disciples.

The stronger and more numerous the disciples of the Mumun, the higher the prestige of the Munpa.

The same was true of the North Sea Ice Palace.

In order to revive the Ice Palace, it was necessary to quickly nurture disciples, and Ice Crystal is an indispensable treasure for such an Ice Palace.

But how can you pay for something like this?

It was nonsense.

“Princess.”

Seonwoo looked at her North Palace and called her.

“As far as I know, I’ve heard that ice crystals can be artificially created in the North Sea.”

“Yes, but it takes twenty years to make an ice crystal the size of a fingertip. I can’t wait for that time.”

Buk Gung-yeon said to Seon-woo with a determined expression.

There are usually two types of ice crystals.

It was a natural ice crystal that occurs naturally in a place where sunlight is not shining and the cold is very intense, and an ice crystal made artificially in the North Sea Ice Palace.

In the past, the soldiers of the North Sea Ice Palace were in deep trouble.

Ice crystals were needed to increase the achievement of ice balls, but in the case of natural ice crystals, it was difficult to generate and hard to find.

After all, the North Sea Ice Palace has been researching to create an artificial ice palace for several generations, and the result is that it has succeeded in making artificial ice crystals.

Of course, compared to naturally occurring ice crystals, it was somewhat inferior, but it had enough energy to achieve an ice ball.

The news of the creation of the ice crystal thrilled many North Sea soldiers.

It was because he felt that if it was possible to make it artificially, it would not be long before the North Sea Ice Palace would be revived.

Unfortunately, their wish did not come true.

Natural ice crystals have the principle of being cold for decades and naturally retaining cold air. In order to keep cold air in artificially created ice crystals, it was necessary to constantly blow cold air over a period of at least two decades.

Moreover, since it sucks in all the cold air around it, the amount completed was no more than a fingertip.

In the end, ice crystals have become precious treasures even in the North Sea Ice Palace, which has the technology to create them artificially.

Once every 20 years, it can be made the size of a fingertip, so how can it not be precious?

The current Bukgungyeon possesses natural ice crystals that are incomparably colder than artificially created ice crystals.

But how can such natural ice crystals be handed over for money?

To her, ice crystals were more valuable than gold.

There was no way I could hand it over.

“If you have the ability to make ice crystals, I think you should hand it over to me.”

“What do you mean?”

Buk Gung-yeon asked Seon-wu as if he didn’t know.

“How do you plan to rebuild the North Sea Ice Palace?”

“Why should I tell you that?”

To Seonwu’s question, Bukgungyeon replied bluntly.

“It’s a very important story. Please let me know your plan.”

In response to her harsh response, Seonwoo earnestly asked with a polite attitude.

Did that look shake your heart?

Buk Gung Yeon slowly opened her mouth.

“First of all, we will liquidate all the silver dollars. All those related to the extinction of the North Sea Ice Palace. And we will recruit disciples from the village.

Northern Gongyan outlined her own plan.

In fact, there was no plan whatsoever.

What other plans do you have other than nurturing and raising disciples?

The number and power of disciples is the strength of the munpa.

“Is that the end?”

After hearing her words, Seonwoo continued with a dumbfounded expression.

“Is it over?”

In response to Seonwoo’s question, she rather asked back.

“…”

Seonwoo licked his lips in silence for a moment.

Because she didn’t even know where to start commenting.

‘Ah… No… It must have been a rough summary.’

Sunwoo shook his head left and right.

No matter how much it was, it was a matter of rebuilding a clan, so would you have made a simple plan like that?

There will definitely be detailed plans.

“Can I ask you a few questions?”

“Any amount”

At Seonwoo’s question, Buk Gung-yeon nodded her head and said.

“It will take a lot of money to rebuild the Munpa. How are you planning to raise the money?”

“The Ice Palace has collected a certain amount of protection tax from the village for generations. I intend to rebuild the Munpa with that protection tax.”

“What about the disciples?”

“Of course, I’m thinking of choosing the children who look like Mujae among the villagers.”

“…”

After hearing her words, Seonwoo was able to understand.

That her plan was all she said.

And I could tell.

That she was seriously mistaken.

“Princess.”

Seonwoo looked at her with her serious tone and opened her mouth.

“Why?”

“Unfortunately, it seems difficult to rebuild the North Sea Ice Palace.”

Seonwoo continued speaking with a calm expression.

“Do you want to die? Who wants to talk?”

Buk Gung-yeon, who heard Seon-woo’s words, frowned at Go-un A-mi and continued her words.

Why are you saying something so unlucky when it’s not enough to support you?

“I’m not saying this. I mean it. According to the palace lord’s plan, the North Sea Ice Palace cannot be rebuilt even after a hundred years.”

Seonwoo looked at her with her serious eyes and continued her words.

And after hearing Seonwoo’s words, Buk Gung-yeon frowned at her.

“Convince me.”

Buk Gung-yeon said to Seon-wu with a frown on her face.

“The reason is simple.”

Hearing her words, Seonwoo nodded his head and opened his mouth.

“Because the plan the princess made is a mess.”

Seonwoo spoke in a calm tone.

Thrill

And after hearing Seonwoo’s words, Goongyeon Buk overcame her irritation and glared at Seonwoo with a lifelike gaze.
