Chapter 338
Episode 338 Initiative (2)
The duel location was chosen by Bulfor to be a large open space outside the castle.
Baek Woo-jin kept his distance from Bolfor and waited for the duel to begin.
-Are you confident?
‘doesn’t exist.’
-ok?
‘I’m not sure I’ll lose. ‘Ask for water.’
Baek Woo-jin laughed. It doesn’t matter if Bulfor is the strongest archer on the continent. I was confident that he would win no matter what he did.
“Prosecutor.”
As Baek Woo-jin was lightly warming up, Moo Young-gaek approached him holding a steaming cup.
“You know I have a sharp eye, right? Just looking at that. “It is the Yapsap family.”
“Yapsap?”
“The ones shooting from afar. Archers and gunmen.”
Muyounggaek whispered something he already knew as if it were a secret.
“He has a sword on his waist, but it’s a bluff. “We will attack that palace.”
“Everyone knows that! you idiot!”
Moon Joo-young shook her head as if she felt pathetic.
“You’ve never heard anything except stealing, right?”
“Ugh, shut up.”
Moo Young-gaek waved his hand at Moon Ju-young.
“What is that?”
Baek Woo-jin ignored Mu Young-gaek’s nonsense and pointed to the cup he had brought.
“I’m the only one thinking about you, prosecutor. I brought you some tea for you to drink before the duel…”
“It’s time. “You two, please gather in the center!”
As Moo Young-gaek was about to hand over the tea, Dapple, who was in the middle, looked at both sides alternately and called out Baek Woo-jin and Bulfor.
“Take a car…”
As Baek Woo-jin looked at the car that Mu Young-gaek was holding, he suddenly remembered those wonderful words.
“I’ll be back before the tea gets cold.”
I spoke the words of a very famous general and walked to the center where Deple was.
-He’s very mean. Damn it!
The blade trembled as if it was tired of the darkness, but it was ignored.
“….”
Mu Young-gaek watched Baek Woo-jin walking away and muttered so quietly that even Moon Ju-young next to him could not hear.
“This is cold….”
**
Baek Woo-jin stood face to face with Bulfor after listening to Dapple’s explanation of the duel.
“Are you confident?”
“well.”
“For your information, I have never lost a fight with a former prosecutor.”
Bulfor rolled up the corners of his mouth and snapped his fingers.
“If you want to beat me, you’ll have to follow me well. Of course it won’t be of any use.”
He said that and stepped back.
-They say you’ve never lost?
‘When you see something like that, you call it a one-day puppy.’
Baek Woo-jin snorted. No matter how strong a martial artist is, he doesn’t say things like that easily. It was a line that only a childish person could say without much trouble.
“The duel will begin now!”
Dapple let out a loud roar and lowered his hand.
Teuong!
As soon as Bulfor saw the signal announcing the start of the duel, he kicked the ground backwards. It was a light step back, but it pushed forward at a tremendous speed.
-It’s pretty fast?
‘The footwork is okay.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded. Even as Bulfor moved backwards, he moved much faster than most warriors running forward.
“Hehe!”
Bulfor, who took a long step back, grinned.
“I told you. You’ll have to catch it well. “It’s over now!”
With those words, he placed an iron arrow on the grand bow.
Geek.
The tautly pulled bowstring was released and the iron sword pierced the space.
Peeeeeeee!
The silver-colored iron sight suddenly arrived in front of my nose, accompanied by a horrifying sound.
Coo coo coo coo!
The auror wrapped in iron writhing like a dragon. Archery that can reach the point of strength. Bulfor was not only skilled in footwork but also in archery.
‘but.’
Baek Woo-jin pulled out his Seolyeong sword towards the flying Cheol-si.
Absolutely!
The iron arrow that collided with the sword body of Seolyeonggeom was crushed like a can on the side of the road and fell to the ground.
“What the…”
Bulfor opened his eyes as if he was going to explode.
‘You can block a stealth attack so easily?’
As a swordsman, I couldn’t believe that a stealth attack with similar strength and power to a strong sword could be blocked so easily.
“Nonsense!”
He let out a roar and took out his sword again and aimed it at Baek Woo-jin.
Quaaaaa!
I gathered the aura spread throughout my body and fired another attack.
‘This is real!’
The taste is right at your fingertips. Because it is full of life, it is powerful enough to rip off an arm and a leg even if it cannot kill Baek Woo-jin.
However, Bulfor’s expectant expression suddenly darkened.
Damn it!
The silver bullet that had used all its might was split in half in front of its white blade.
“Oh, how…”
“If this is all, I’m disappointed.”
Baek Woo-jin shook off his sword and approached Bulpor.
“That can’t be everything!”
“Have you stopped using unsuitable honorifics?”
“shut up!”
The excited Bulfor backed away without even using the honorific title.
Compared to the one step he had taken, he seemed scared and took five steps back.
“I’ll explode your limbs!”
Bulfor placed five iron bars on the grand bow and pulled the bowstring.
Geek!
As if he had exerted all his strength, the bow was shaken as if it might break, and a crackling sound came out of the demonstration as if it were about to break.
“Aaaah!”
Bulfor burned all the aurors and deadly weapons he had raised and fired five iron swords.
Piaaaaa!
The five arrows cut through the air and created five illusions.
Quaaaaa!
A total of twenty-five bullets are flying towards one’s entire body. It was an attack that would have occurred in a life-or-death situation rather than a duel.
“It’s useless.”
A black flame appeared in Baek Woo-jin’s eyes. Thanks to my ability to see the flow, I was able to see what the five real arrows were.
However, there was no need to pick and block it.
Cheeeeee!
Seolyounggeom struck lightly and drew a line.
Hwaaaaa!
Black thunderbolts and gray winds rose from that line, creating a huge barrier.
Blah blah blah!
The arrows fired by Bulfor were broken by the wind and wall sword marks on the brain and fell to the ground, crumpled like sheets of paper.
“Ah…”
Bulfor’s eyes twisted as if there had been an earthquake.
“This is ridiculous!”
The fierce power of the sword can pierce even the sword shield made of sword steel. It’s definitely not a force that can be stopped by wind like that. It felt like I was having a nightmare.
“It’s impossible!”
I raised my bow to shoot an arrow again.
“It looks like you’ve shown everything you need to show. “Then let’s finish it.”
“yet! “Not yet!”
When he gritted his teeth and aimed his iron sword at Baek Woo-jin, his body blurred like fog and disappeared.
“This Lee Hyeong-hwan-hwi!”
I felt like my heart was sinking. Lee Hyeong-Hwanhwi was at the highest level of footwork that even he could not master.
“Where are you?” Right now….”
“It’s so noisy.”
As I was panicking and trying to find the guy, I heard a calm voice from behind me.
“Oh no…”
“It’s already too late.”
Whoops!
As I was about to turn around, I felt a huge shock and the sound of a ball exploding in the back of my head.
“Oh my…”
The pain was so severe that my vision went black and I started to see the ground.
puck!
Unable to bear the searing pain in the back of his head, Bulfor fainted and hit his head on the ground.
“It’s simple.”
Baek Woo-jin flicked Seolyoung’s sword and put it in its sheath.
“Ah…”
“What is that…”
“This is such a ridiculous thing!”
“Seo Seonglord!”
The Elide Rangers trembled, looking at themselves like ghosts. The rangers finally came to their senses and ran towards the fallen Bulpor.
“Please take good care of me. Another surprise will happen.”
“Ugh….”
The ranger seemed to understand what that meant, gritted his teeth and took Bulpor with him into Linden Castle.
“Master! Thank you for your effort!”
Dapple smiled and nodded. It’s a face that says he knew he would win of course.
“Keep an eye on him so he doesn’t escape.”
“All right!”
Dapple nodded and followed the rangers.
-I guess I haven’t felt well.
‘yes.’
Baek Woo-jin grinned and approached where Mu Young-gaek and Moon Ju-young were.
“It ended quickly, right?”
Although it seemed long as Bulfor continued to attack, the actual battle lasted less than a minute.
“Give me some tea.”
“Ah yes.”
Muyeonggaek handed over the tea with an ambiguous expression on his face.
“huh?”
cold. As I held the cup, a cold feeling wet my hands.
‘Why is this cold?’
-Hahahaha! what? Come back before the car gets cold? I thought I would be so humiliated! It’s strange that the car doesn’t cool down in this weather!
Darkness laughed as if it had caught well.
“It seems quite popular. haha.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled awkwardly and took a sip of tea.
“It’s hot? That can’t be possible? “It was iced tea, so it was cold from the beginning.”
“You sure there was steam?”
“It’s a unique iced tea I got at Preston Castle….”
“Yanmar! “Someone bring iced tea in this cold weather!”
“Wow!”
It was so absurd that I hit Muyounggaek on the back of the head.
“Plus, is it really crazy to have iced tea right before a battle!”
“Kaaak!”
I hit the back of the head again.
-Hahahaha! That guy is really crazy! He’s the only one who can make fun of you!
“Don’t you know that? Saying that even if you freeze to death, you will feel sorry? Even in the middle of winter, I only drink cold water and iced Americano… ugh!
“Oh shit! “Drink it yourself!”
Baek Woo-jin planted a teacup on the back of the fallen Mu-yeong-gaek’s head and walked towards Linden Castle.
“Haa….”
Moon Ju-young looked at Mu Young-gaek, who was lying face down, and sighed.
“Even if you get hit, you still deserve it.”
**
Baek Woo-jin entered Bulfor’s hospital room where he was treated along with Sylvia Dapple.
“Hey!”
Bulfor, who was lying on the bed, saw his face and crawled back on his elbows.
“It looks like you’re awake.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed when he saw Bulpor’s terrified expression and the large lump on the back of his head.
“It’s all you…”
Bulfor’s eyes shook violently and his lips trembled.
“Is your head feeling okay?”
“Ugh!”
As I sat down on the bed with a relaxed expression, Bulfor pushed himself into a corner like a scared puppy.
“Were you targeting me from the beginning?”
“What do you mean?”
“You tried to create this result by starting a fight with me….”
“I am mistaken, but it was you who started the fight, not me. Think carefully. “Who was first?”
Baek Woo-jin snorted and tapped his head.
“Ugh….”
Bulfor gritted his teeth. He was right. He was the first to provoke Baek Woo-jin.
‘Because I didn’t know it was this much of a monster.’
I thought it was just an exaggerated legend, but it wasn’t an exaggeration, it was a gross underestimate. Regardless of the spirit, that human was a monster itself.
“You remember the bet, right?”
Baek Woo-jin raised his finger at Bulpor, who rolled his eyes.
“My bet?”
“A bet that I will grant you any favor.”
“Keueuuuuu!”
Bulfor looked at Sylvia next to him and started scratching her palms with her fingernails.
“I tell you my terms. “Hand over Castle Barex.”
“Nonsense!”
Bulfor jumped up and shouted.
“As far as it goes….”
“Wasn’t it a bet to grant any favor?”
“Ah, anyway, that’s too harsh!”
“That’s right. “It was a light bet, wasn’t it!”
Bulfor’s eyes widened, and his bodyguard, the Ranger, stood in front, flapping his cloak.
“Do you shoot arrows that can kill people just to win a light bet?”
Baek Woo-jin gave off a cool look. The arrow that Bulfor shot had the power to blow off a person’s life or a limb.
It’s ridiculous to shoot something like that and make a light bet.
“That’s…”
The ranger lowered his head as if he had nothing to say.
“If you had defeated me, I would have told you to come under me right away, and then even ordered you to bring Sylvia and Dapple too. is not it?”
“….”
Bulfor could only bite his lip and say nothing.
“Even so, it’s too much! A castle with just one bet….”
“Okay, okay. “It’s a bit much to ask for it when you don’t even know where Barex Castle is located.”
“ah!”
At those words, Bulfor’s dark face brightened as if a fluorescent light had been turned on. But his words were not over yet.
“Instead, I will have the voting rights of Barex Castle.”
“Voting rights?”
“In other words, decision-making power. “It means that when Barex Castle makes a decision or action, I will make that decision.”
“That’s not much different from having a castle!”
“No, there is a big difference. “Because it means you remain as the lord of the castle.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned. Even in a company or guild, those with the greatest power are those with decision-making authority.
As long as you gained decision-making authority, it was no different from gaining Barex Castle.
-It’s stronger than throwing a tantrum, isn’t it?
‘He tried to kill me. ‘He saved my life and didn’t take away my saints, so I’m a Bodhisattva at this level.’
-But will he accept this?
‘I have no choice but to accept it. ‘Because that’s how I planned it.’
-plan?
“Deple.”
Baek Woo-jin did not answer Heuk-am but called Dapple.
“yep!”
Dapple took out two identical documents from his arms and handed one to Bulfor.
“This…”
“It’s a contract. “A contract that transfers the voting rights of the owner of Barex Castle to me.”
“Now wait a minute! The condition here is that if the contract is violated, the castle will be handed over…”
“Of course that should be included. “If you wipe your mouth after returning to the castle, I will have to erase your entire castle.”
“Ugh!”
Bulfor screamed when he saw Baek Woo-jin’s cold eyes.
‘This crazy guy is real!’
The downy hair on my entire body stood up.
The voice was light but sincere. That guy was really thinking of destroying Barex Castle itself if he didn’t keep his promise.
“If you’ve finished reading, please sign.”
“Ugh…”
I shook my fist. No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way to escape this place.
“shit!”
Bulfor slammed the bed and signed both papers that Dapple handed him.
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin, who took one of the two contracts, smiled and lowered his head.
“Please take care of me in the future. “He’s not a brat, he’s a business partner.”
“You you…”
“Uh-huh! To those who have voting rights, you. “Please use the honorific title.”
“Keueuuuuu!”
“And it would be best not to spread this story. “It’s embarrassing to be the lord of a castle without decision-making authority.”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Seo Seonglord!”
Bulfor fainted again, foaming at the mouth, and Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders and left the hospital room.
“Will it be okay?”
Sylvia looked back with a worried expression.
“It’ll be okay. “Because you know better than anyone else that it is better than losing your castle.”
“So, prosecutor, did you intentionally ask for my last name?”
“you’re right.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
“The nonsense you asked for my last name in the beginning is fake. Because it is obvious that they will rebel. “If you pretend to take a step back, you are more likely to hand over voting rights to the second proposal.”
“ah!”
Sylvia opened her mouth wide with her eyes wide as if she was shocked by Baek Woo-jin’s answer.
-Oh my!
The darkness trembled with its blade.
-You have a plan!
‘that’s right. This was it. Creating a situation where Bulfor has no choice but to hand over voting rights.’
-it’s crazy! You are truly crazy!
I got goosebumps. Even after coming to this world, this guy was controlling everything with the palm of his hand.
-Ugh!
Instead of following Baek Woo-jin, the darkness looked behind him and waved its blade.
-He’s a scary guy….
**
Perhaps because he was embarrassed, Bulfor woke up at dawn and went back to Barex Castle without even looking back.
“You’re leaving without even saying hello to this major shareholder.”
Baek Woo-jin licked his lips with regret.
-Crazy guy…
Darkness shook his sword blade violently as if he was fed up.
“I guess it was because I was embarrassed. “Due to his personality, he won’t say or do anything.”
Dapple, who was swinging his sword, grinned.
“Well, I can’t say anything because I’m too embarrassed.”
Ji got into a fight and was robbed, and the city’s voting rights were taken over, so who would he tell?
The only person who would know that would be his escort in the hospital room.
“Anyway, it’s refreshing. “Every time we had a joint meeting, Bulfor gave Sylvia a sinister look and ignored me because I was young.”
“Because it’s okay. Hold your posture well. Moon Joo-young, you too.”
“All right!”
“yep!”
“The true power of swordsmanship comes from posture. Don’t fool around just because you’ve gotten a little stronger, always stick to the basics…”
“Prosecutor!”
As I was trying to get Moon Joo-young and Dapp into their sword fighting stances, Sylvia came running into the clearing.
“Me and Mr. Dapple received a call to attend a meeting.”
“meeting?”
“It’s the Seiran Union meeting. As I said before….”
“Decisions are decided through voting?”
“yes. “That meeting.”
“Hmm, looking at the timing, it looks like they are planning a meeting to invite us to Seiran.”
Dapple frowned as he looked at the letter Sylvia handed him.
“You said there were five in Seiran and eight in addition to Shukan Castle, Linden Castle, and Rhine Forest, right?”
“yes? Ah yes!”
“How does Shukan Castle move?”
“It’s almost neutral. “I agree with what is true and definitely disagree with what is not true.”
“You are the one with conviction.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled. They don’t know, but Barex Castle has been moved over here, so now there are four Seirans instead of five, and there are three here instead of two.
‘There…’
Linden Castle formed an alliance with Preston Castle and the city of Ramelun. In other words, there are five of us and Seiran is four.
‘If I do well, I can eat the entire Seiran Union, right?’
-Huh!
Darkness trembled in Baek Woo-jin’s mind.
-This guy…
I’m serious. Baek Woo-jin was seriously thinking of eating up the Seiran Alliance.
“Where will the meeting be held?”
“It is held in rotation at the Seiran Alliance castle, but this time it is Varex Castle, where Bulfor is located.”
“Good.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
-What what?
‘I need to bring some of the treasures I have stored up in Barex Castle.’
-That greedy guy would have left that behind. He must have hidden it very well.
‘Tsk tsk.’
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue and looked up at the tree.
‘There is no use hiding it deep in the tunnel.’
There was a mysterious person on the tree who didn’t know what he was talking about and just yawned.
-No, no welcome guests!
‘There’s that guy with a dog nose, so no matter what you hide, he can find it.’
This meeting was an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, taking care of the treasures of Barex Castle and taking the lead in the Seiran Alliance.
‘Are you looking forward to it?’
Baek Woo-jin held hands and smiled.
