Chapter 1400 – [Journey to Eden]

After talking about this and that, Eden sold the elixir to the golden horse.

The price is all expenses during our stay here. Of course, the duration was limited only while we were staying here, but there were no other restrictions other than the time limit.

Of course, it is true that it is sold at a low price. No matter how much Eden ate, it was absolutely not worth 3 elixirs.

But it’s annoying to bargain, and even if you bargain and get a lot of money, it’s hard to spend all of it while you’re here. So it’s much better to sell in moderation and add to the food expenses.

As this is the capital city, if you look for it, there will be many cuisines. It would be nice to eat while walking around after work.

Anyway, finishing the work like that…… We wait for the anniversary of the foundation of the school. Because all I could do now was prepare and wait.

“Oh!!!! Fire painting!!!!”

“Expensive ones are just coming out. Our Eden is strong.”

Although he couldn’t openly stay in the imperial palace, he stayed separately at the sword horse family’s mansion and tasted various dishes. Even if you don’t go to the store, you can enjoy enough, and the chef’s skills in this mansion are good, so your mouth is not boring.

………But it’s a pity to see the chef burnt white after cooking.

At first, when Eden heard her appearance and that she was a holy woman, she was shocked and confused, but now it is clear that she is tired. No, no matter how many people there are, if you make dozens of servings at a meal, it’s certainly worth it, but it’s even more so when you cook with a lot of work.

I’ll have to ask for a change. I’m going to catch someone

“I’ll have to watch Sangjin’s martial arts before the school anniversary. Teach him swordsmanship properly. Oh, I’ll ask for that part.”

“Can’t you do swordsmanship?”

“It’s not that I’m completely bad, but it’s not that I’m good at it either. It’s not that I don’t know swordsmanship, but my nature is for bare-handed fighting.”

First of all, I am a human who is far from fighting with a weapon. Because he is a reincarnated person, when he dies, he leaves empty-handed, and he cannot carry weapons or anything like that.

Of course, if I had to look at the means, there would be weapons that depend on the soul and take them, like spirit weapons, but honestly, fighting with a weapon is not my taste.

So I fight with my bare hands most of the time. When I take up a weapon, it is only when I ignore and insult the opponent.

“Changcheon Infinite Sword is an honest swordsmanship. So, first of all, we should teach Hwan’s techniques later and let them learn the basics.”

“Because a freaking basic skill is as good as a special move. Eden, rather than developing skills, it’s better to practice what you learned first.”

“I love making new technology!!!!”

“It also needs to be supported by the basics.”

It takes a few years to become proficient. But mastering it took a long time and effort.

Up to 90% perfection, no matter how talented you are, it will be possible if you invest yearly. But 100 percent is the realm of talent and effort. Eden has talent, so he should try, but it was impossible if he had no intention to do so.

What about Eden……. Every time I see him, he develops and uses new technology. I wonder if it’s the influence of the blessing of the absolute being of creation, but there is such a thing in nature.

Eden’s mother, not anyone else, is Shion, so it can be seen as a characteristic of Hanon. It’s because Hannons like civilization, technology, and development.

Anyway, during the days leading up to the anniversary of the establishment of the school, we taught Sangjin the martial arts separately. It didn’t take long for him to learn the Changchun Infinite Sword, a similar martial art, perhaps thanks to his learning of Changcheonturo.

“It’s good, it’s quick to learn”

“Thanks to you two. You taught me in an easy way, so I was able to learn quickly.”

“However, you can hear that you touched the sword a little only when you have calluses on your black hands.

“Yes, I understand”

“And… I’m planning on taking you too to this banquet to commemorate the founding of the school.”

“No, Sangjin? Isn’t it dangerous?”

“Of course it is dangerous.

“That’s right”

Eden has to play an important role, so it’s natural for him to go, but Sangjin is barely reaching his peak, far from reaching his peak yet.

No matter how much the elixir and two great masters, and even Eden’s support, it’s not enough to get involved in the incident that these guys are going to do. Therefore, it is best not to go to the banquet for safety, but on the contrary, it may be better to go together.

The other side will also know that Sangjin is in our group, and then we can use a hostage after kidnapping or something like that. So it’s much safer to take it than to leave it there and get into trouble.

“You’ll have to protect it, but it won’t work if you don’t have the power to protect yourself. At least before the banquet, do your best to build up your skills.”

“Yes, I understand”

And time passed quickly, and finally the time had come.

Memorial Day. It’s a big event here, and it’s even more grand because it’s the capital city. People gathered and a festive atmosphere fills the streets.

But there are smiles on their faces, except for those who fight because of problems. Some because their business is going well, some because they enjoy the festival, and some because they genuinely celebrate today.

However, that smile will also disappear if the reversal of today’s work succeeds. Yeokcheonhoe is an organization that is mixed with Jeong, Sa, Ma, and the outside world, so after the death, the midfield will be torn apart, but after that, it is definitely a war. It was nothing short of a temporary alliance in the first place, so what happened after that is obvious.

When the country collapses and they take over, it is the common people who suffer in the end. At least, the Demonic Cult wasn’t doing state affairs as a mess, and they were doing well in their own way, but that was over the line.

I’m not like a hero, but it’s related to my friend Ye, and these bastards, our Eden tried to assassinate them……. I’ll beat them all up.

“It’s only today”

The anniversary banquet is an event held by the school separately from the festival. As I heard from the head of the church before, it is a place where powerful people who are no different from nobles from all over the country gather.

Thanks to the well-maintained road, it is a more important place because a lot of people can gather. And we were invited to such a place.

Externally, they invited Eden, the Holy Blessed Virgin. He had a reputation and was recommended by the Sword Master, so he could attend the banquet. Furthermore, if it were just the imperial family, no matter how much it was, they wouldn’t have invited the Murim people who were no different from barbarians.

To attend the banquet, they prepared separately from the other side, so each of them wore fancy clothes. In particular, Eden was still pretty, but as she dressed up in her clothes, her fairy was no different.

“Wow, it’s my first time wearing something like this here, and it’s pretty cool”

“Do you want to buy some clothes later?”

“That wouldn’t be bad either.”

Sangjin is also young, but he dressed up to look like a nobleman. And the Heavenly Demon…

“What”

“Oh, that’s pretty”

I wanted to say it, but it came out as a reflex. Originally, the Heavenly Demon hated being treated as a woman, so she didn’t openly do that to me either, but this time, she did it without even realizing it.

It wasn’t a cheongsam that showed off all of her legs like usual, but the fluttering clothes rather added to her femininity. Moreover, she put on a light powder and put on make-up……. Oh, come to think of it, she doesn’t usually wear make-up either.

It’s similar to when I was a woman and I didn’t wear makeup because it was annoying, but sometimes I do. I think the Heavenly Demon will be similar.

Anyway, I thought he would react violently to what I said was pretty, but the Heavenly Demon passed by unexpectedly quietly.

“Is that so? Well, it’s uncomfortable, but it’s worth dressing up.”

“Yes?”

“Why is that? What’s wrong?”

“Uh…It’s nothing”

What’s the reaction like that? Rather, it’s more scary because there is no reaction.

Anyway, we entered the palace to attend the banquet. Since there were a lot of people, it was possible to enter if your status was guaranteed, but on the other hand, it was also proof that the boundaries were relaxed.

Looking around, I see some suspicious-looking guys. Of course, it’s not visible or felt by normal people, and I know it because I’ve met them. Especially those who have learned Explosive Magic.

“There are a lot of guys who have learned the Explosive Magic.”

“It’s expendable.”

“It’s going to be a bitch more than I thought. I guess it’s not a joke.”

Explosive Magic Gong doesn’t have demonic energy, so it can’t be distinguished as demonic energy, but it has a unique feeling. I’ve seen it written before, so I can tell the difference with that.

If possible, I’ll have to be a little vigilant when a guy who’s trained in the Explosive Magic is approaching. They secretly put a station field on the kids.

The commemorative banquet will be held in a separate banquet hall. The place, decorated like a garden, with colorful flowers and trees, had an atmosphere, but on the other hand, it looks good to hide work because it is distanced from the outside.

I don’t know if it was deliberately decided here, or if the banquet was originally held here… Anyway.

We are guided to our seats. The higher the position, the closer we are to the front, but even though we were invited, we were in the back because we didn’t have a position or anything like that. What’s better is that he’s in front of the lower officials, so he’s not at the back.

But it doesn’t matter if you’re behind, all the eyes of the people attending the banquet were focused on this side. Since the religious leader hasn’t come yet, he looks at Eden more blatantly.

“Huh…… Who is that beauty?”

“She seems to be the holy beast priestess who is famous these days, but I heard that she is invited by the headmaster…”

“I thought it was an exaggeration to say that it was the best beauty in the world, but it seems to be underestimated.”

“Isn’t she a real fairy? How can a person have such an appearance?”

“It’s beautiful… I’d like to call a painter and draw a picture of a beautiful woman.”

It was noisy even before the banquet started, thanks to the people who judged it based on its appearance. If there’s one thing that’s fortunate, it’s that he didn’t pay attention to the Heavenly Demon.

In short, should Eden be called a lightning rod? Of course, the Heavenly Demon is pretty, and today she even put on makeup, so she’s even prettier than usual, but nonetheless, since Eden is so perfect, most people who pay attention to her show interest in Eden.

Even in this place, it is possible that the Heavenly Demon knows her face, but nonetheless, no one recognizes her.

To see her up close, her seat was far from behind her, and knowing that the Heavenly Demon was not wearing her veil, she lowered her head and secretly covered her face with her sleeve. It was easy to hide because the attention was focused on Eden.

“It’s been quite a while since I disappeared, but it’s really unfortunate that no one recognizes me.”

“Now that’s comfortable. Or maybe the headmaster gave a separate word to someone worth recognizing.”

“It could be, but…”

“And who would look at you and think you’re Taesang? You’ve changed a lot between then and now.”

“Is it?”

“I used to be a pretty boy, but now you look like a woman. If you were before the metamorphosis, would you be able to imagine what you look like now?”

“That’s also true. It’s not that they have changed, it’s that I have changed.”

“It’s good to change. Because that’s how you develop.”

The Heavenly Demon’s transformation from a man into a woman was something she herself hated, but she must have gotten better at it. It’s hard to say because you know it’s not me, but anyway.

Change is good Because you can change for the better. Since the opposite of evolution is not degeneration but stagnation, staying the same is much worse.

That’s why one of the absolutes, the culmination of the absolutes of creation, is said to be the stationary and unchanging absolutes. That is why it is said that among absolutes, he is quite strong, so in the past, the absolute of destiny was fixed on the appearance of a child, but I do not know if it is true.

I think you should ask directly, but you can’t know unless you are the absolute person of fate. If you ask me, I’m afraid of remorse……..

Anyway, as time passed gradually, the time for a full-fledged banquet came. It’s quite cumbersome because there are various procedures in the banquet, but first of all, the head of the church appears.

For several days, I had learned my own etiquette, so when the guests got up and bowed to the priest, we got up appropriately and we did too. However, the teacher’s expression looking at her looks quite complicated.

“Does it look strange to receive me from the teacher?”

“If you can take a moment of insult to achieve a great cause, you have to do it.

“Well, that’s right”

I also have a willingness to curse if I don’t harm Zion or Eden by swearing at me. The Heavenly Demon seems to be similar to that.

“Thank you for attending today’s happy day. I’m also glad that the head of the school attended despite being busy and gathered to celebrate the founding day of the school. Then, let’s start the banquet right away.”

The banquet begins with a light greeting.

Dancers come out and dance, and court ladies serve and serve people drinks and small snacks to eat as snacks.

It wasn’t full-fledged meal time yet, so the dishes didn’t come out, but Eden glanced at me to see if he was interested. I drink separately here, but I didn’t stop it, but for another reason

“Dad, can I have a drink?”

“Yes, drink it.”

“Five!!!!”

It would be a big deal if Eden got poisoned by eating the wrong thing, because if they move, the food and drinks will be poisoned.

Of course, even if you are poisoned by intangible poison, you should be able to endure it if it is at the level of Eden, but it will be quite dangerous nonetheless, and it is better to prevent such a thing from happening. Knowing that, Eden asked whether it was poisonous or not, not whether it was okay to drink alcohol.

“But Sangjin, it’s still too early for you to drink. Drink when you’re a bit older.”

“Ah, yes. I see.”

“What do you mean by having a drink?”

“I don’t know if my body has grown to a certain extent, but I can’t use drinking when I’m too young. Eden has been drinking since the old days, but at that time, my body was almost in a full-grown state.”

“Honestly, only the chest and hips seem to be big there.”

“Uh huh, I can’t say that out loud.”

We put a curtain on it so that no one else could hear it, but Sangjin, who was listening, blushed. No matter how young she is, she’s still a boy, so if you hear a woman say that outright, that’s what her reaction would be.

What should I say, the feeling of hearing the older sister next door having sex? If her real sister drips sex, she would hate it, but if it was her next door sister, it would be different.

Anyway, the banquet itself was good. Dancers dance and musicians play, adding to the atmosphere of the banquet. It was a well-prepared banquet, so there were plenty of things to enjoy.

Eden also seemed to like it when he saw the performance right in front of her eyes…….. The dancers who were pretty decorated seemed a bit disorganized while dancing, perhaps because Eden was stunned by her appearance.

You should have practiced a lot for today, but I feel sorry for you. Well, even if I can’t do it, this banquet won’t matter.

Even if they ruin the banquet anyway, today’s banquet will be ruined. So even if someone messed up a little, it wouldn’t matter.

“Ah, I think it’s starting soon.”

“Is it?”

“There is poison in the food and alcohol that go out to the principal.”

“Both at the same time?”

“Three types to be exact. I feel like you have to eat three at the same time to synthesize and take effect, and it seems to be a slow-acting effect.”

They’re not going to openly use an instant-acting poison. Rather, if the effect appears immediately, the poisoning time is short, so you cannot deeply poison it.

Therefore, three poisons are used so that poisoning is not noticed, and in addition, slow-acting poison is used to poison deeper. If it’s normal, by the time you notice the poison, you’ll be so poisoned that you can’t even use martial arts properly.

“Perhaps the timing they want is when the cult leader has a poisoning reaction.”

“I’m sure it will be. But Yuni will already know… I’ll use that in reverse.”

And a separate transmission came from the gyoza. It seems that the other side also noticed that the food and alcohol were poisoned.

-Master, from now on, I will deliberately pretend to be addicted. I’m sure the henchmen of Reverse Heaven will start moving at that time.

“Yes, I’m ready.”

We were planning to use the leader’s poisoning and reaction as the beginning of the death, but we were setting the timing. Perhaps, besides us, the religious leader will inform the allies separately.

We decided to wait patiently. At the same time, poison is mixed with the new drinks and refreshments.

“Eden, don’t eat”

“Heeing… Poisoning food. I can’t forgive you.”

Mine contains the formless and odorless mountain gong poison, and the food Eden eats contains the lethal poison. Cheonma or Sangjin is also in it, so if you eat it, you will be in trouble. Ah, Heavenly Demon, I want to be safe.

In any case, it was time for the teacher to speak.

“Keoeouk!!!!!”

A religious leader who suddenly vomits blood and coughs up blood. The music stopped and the dancers screamed.

“Kyaahhhhh !!!

“Kyo, teacher!!!! Ambush!!! It’s an ambush!!!!!!”

“The Royal Guard!!!!! What are the Cheonma Yachadae doing!!!! Protect the Master!!!!!”

An uproar ensues, and numerous troops begin to approach us. Not to mention the best masters, but also the best masters… Among them, there is one that stands out.

Judging from the venom, it must be a southern poison palace. With that level of troops, it was clear that they would be the elite of the Reverse Heaven.

And just like that, clouds begin to form in the sky. On the one hand, that cloud shows Eden’s anger.

“I’ll make you pay for poisoning your rice”

“No, Eden. That sounds like your dad’s line.”

Kurleung!!!!

And thunder is heard It doesn’t seem like it’s just going to make you fat.
