BXBX NOVEL Chapter chapter 57
The Homu-ryeonju decided to set up a separate place to meet with Cheon Chu Shin Ui, Il Chim Gui.
It was necessary to listen closely to this issue. Also, he decided that it was better not to talk outside.
He wanted to hear the story right away, but there was something else they had to do.
The two carefully checked to find those who complained of excessive fatigue among those living around the Black Iron Room.
It was something they would have done anyway even if Homuryeon didn’t ask for it. Because Byeoktaesan told them to do it.
The two split up to inquire around and met again at the front gate of Black Iron Room.
“Do you know anything about poison?”
Cheon Chu Shin Ui replied nonchalantly to Il Chim Gui’s question.
“Just a little bit. Actually, things like this would be my master’s specialty.”
“Master? You had a master?”
“Then, do you think a talent like me fell from the sky?”
“Who is it? Is it someone I know?”
Someone who Il Chim Gui knew from Cheonma Shinkyo was the Maui.
Maui was a doctor who was treated the same on the same level as the Eui Seon. To that extent, both of his medicine and martial arts were amazing.
However, Cheon Chu Shin Ui shook his head.
“You probably won’t know. My master is very shy so he rarely does outside activities.”
“What kind of doctor is shy?”
“My master can do that. He’s really amazing.”
“Better than Maui?”
“uh… would they be similar? It’s just hard to say who is above the other. Their fields are so different… … .”
Il Chim Gui tilted his head.
“Different fields? So, did he focus on just poison? You learned from such a master, but why are you like this? Does it make sense to not know about poison?”
“Who said I didn’t know? Compared to medicine, the level is much lower that’s all. And why do you think our master was focused on just poison? Well, it’s true that he focused on poison, but that’s not what’s really great about him.”
“Then what?”
Cheon Chu Shin Ui frowned.
“What are you so curious? That doesn’t matter right now. Have you looked around?”
“It seems to be poison. Honestly, if the lord wasn’t so sure it was poison, I wouldn’t have found it. It’s very tricky.”
“I am at the same conclusion. So, did the Dokma really get involved?”
“Well. I do not know. I don’t know anything about the Dokma. Do you know anything about Dokma?”
“Of course I don’t know.”
He nodded as if he knew it was going to happen.
“Did you figure out the symptoms?”
“I checked those complaining of fatigue, but it wasn’t that they were tired, their basic resilience of the body was running low.”
“Right. They complain of fatigue because they cannot recover. Then they end up dying.”
“Anyway, that’s the conclusion… There were many paths that led to the conclusion.”
“I think so too. So I provided treatment to some people.”
At the words of Il Chim Gui, Cheon Chu Shin Ui shone.
“I did too. Treatment wasn’t that difficult before reaching the conclusion. The problem is, I have to get the exact diagnosis and get the right treatment, but it seemed to be difficult at a reasonable level.”
“I think the same.”
The eyes of the two who spoke so far widened at the same time.
“Doctors!”
The two of them went around all the clinics in Uichang because of the bet. And they also checked the level of the doctors.
However, in Uichang, there were no doctors with excellent skills.
It wasn’t like almost no talent, but none at all.
They thought it was a little weird, but at that time they just thought it was the case.
But coming this far, they can see that it was also one of the things that were prepared in advance.
“The problem is, we don’t know what effect the poison that lowers the resilience has.”
“In my opinion, one alone doesn’t work, and it’s a poison that works properly only when there is another poison.”
At the words of Cheon Chu Shin Ui, Il Chim Gui nodded.
It was plausible. There was actually quite a bit of poison that did that.
“Anyway, according to the words of the lord, the Black Iron Room guys are all dead… … .”
“Wouldn’t we have to take action before they do anything? At this rate, the people in Uichang will be wiped out.”
“Yes, let’s go first.”
“I will report to the lord, and my brother can go to Ho Mu Ryeon-ju.”
“Who is your brother?”
“If it’s not my brother, it’s going to have to be stranger, well, choose whatever you want.”
“Ugh. Just let me be brother.”
Cheon Chu-Shin Ui smiled.
“You should have done that to start with.”
Il Chim Gui clenched his fist and trembled.
Cheon Chu Shin-ui saw that and ran away quickly.
“Let’s hurry! Hahahahaha!”
* * *
Ho Mu Ryeon-ju sat face to face with the commander with a serious expression.
“I don’t know who it was, but they are very determined.”
“Yes. If it wasn’t for the two doctors, we would have been unaware of anything.
The thought was terrible.
“It was bad enough just to take the hit, but our reputation of Ho Mu-ryun almost hit the bottom.
“Anyway, I’m glad there is a way to respond.”
“How did the recruiting of the doctors go?”
“I’m looking into it right now. We are also investigating where the talented doctors of Uichang went and who approached them.”
“You have to figure it out for sure.”
“Yes. Don’t worry. We put in all of the Jeokmyeongdan.”
“Doesn’t it feel a little clumsy by the way?”
“Yes? What does?”
“Isn’t it so obvious? They dare to get rid of all the competent doctors and use a poison that has a clear solution. Oh, did you find out anything about the poison?”
“The two doctors are studying it right now. I think we will be able to figure it out sooner or later.”
“Is that so? They are definitely two of the best in the world. It’s really great. I really want them.”
The commander said in a subtle voice.
“Would you like to promote recruitment?”
Homu-ryeonju shook his head.
“It’s difficult right now. They are too into Byeoktaesan right now.”
“Then, don’t we just have to recruit Byeoktaesan?”
The face of Homu-ryeonju who heard the words got distorted.
“Yes, that’s it, but it’s not as easy as it sounds.”
“Yes? I did some research on the second son of Gold Wall… I don’t think they were in a position to decline if we make an offer?”
“Recruitment proposal or whatever, I can’t say anything to him if I can’t even meet him.”
“Yes?”
“He’s a very rude guy.”
The commander could not understand the reaction and speech of Homu-ryeonju.
“Then shall I try?”
Ho Mu Ryeon-ju looked at the commander with a fat expression.
“If you can, try it.”
The commander replied with a slight bowing, although the reaction of the homuryeonju was nonchalant.
“Yes. Then I’ll try it.”
Ho Mu Ryeon-ju said, waving his hand roughly.
“You can take care of that… Let’s go back to the previous thing.”
“Certainly, after listening to your words, it is pretty suspicious. Maybe they are after something specific.”
“Something specific huh… … .”
“Wouldn’t it look great if we couldn’t solve it properly and the case got bigger, then if someone showed up to solve it? Well… It’s just a possibility for now.”
Homu-ryeonju shook his head.
“No, I guess you would be right. It would have been a strategy that would have been successful if it had not been for the two doctors.
“It certainly is the case.”
The expression of Homu-ryeonju hardened.
“What would those bastard do now? If they realize that their plans have failed.”
The atmosphere became serious.
“Either quietly disappear…or they will do something more dangerous, or they will go all out, probably one of the three.”
“It’s better if they just disappeared, but the problem is if they go all out. right?”
The commander bowed his head and said.
“I will take action in advance.”
* * *
Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui were studying the poison that destroyed Black Iron Room, head-to-head.
They had quite a bit of knowledge about poison, but in fact, it wasn’t easy to reproduce someone else’s poison.
But this time that wasn’t the case.
This is because they already knew the answer before they started their research.
“Is it done?”
Byeoktaesan’s question irritated Cheon Chu Shin Ui.
“My lord. Why do you ask every half hour? Shouldn’t you give us some time before we can say we analyzed it or completed it?”
Byeoktaesan glanced at Cheon Chu Shin Ui.
Cheon Chu Shin Ui’s gaze quietly turned away.
“No, that’s what I want to say but it’s almost done. Please wait a bit.”
“I told you the ingredients, I told you how to mix it, why does it take so much time?”
Cheon Chu Shin Ui’s clenched his jaws tightly.
“It’s a poison that has that, and this.”
“What? Speak straight. Are you sure you’re not grinding your teeth? Be careful. Or it might all break.”
“My lord. Why do you say those terrifying words? I mean, the poison that the lord told me is different from the poison they used… is what I was saying.”
“It’s different?”
“Yes. How can I say this… they used a poison that was less complete. These bastards.”
Il Chim Gui looked up and stared at Cheon Chu Shin Ui.
“Don’t stop your hands even if you are talking. Don’t you know that it’s taking longer because of you?”
“Don’t say that to me, and if you want to say something, tell the lord directly.”
“There is no such thing.”
What Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui were doing was very simple.
By changing the ingredients and formulations little by little, they found out exactly what poison they used.
And now the work was almost at the end.
How much time had passed?
The work was finished when Byeoktaesan urged them another thirteen times, and the Il Chim Gui glared at Cheon Chu Shin Ui five times.
“It is done.”
“What about the antidote?”
“We can do it at any time.”
“Good. Make a lot of antidotes. I think I will use it very efficiently sooner or later.”
“Yes. Please leave it to me. That can be done quickly. We can make it all at once.”
It was difficult to find out the exact poison and make an antidote, but once the recipe was secured, it wasn’t even a task to increase the ingredients significantly and make it in large quantities.
Of course, if the amount was too large, it becomes a little troublesome, but they could make enough for Homu-ryeon to use right away.
“That… But my lord.”
“What is it?”
“How the hell do you know about this poison? Didn’t you say that it was the poison used by Dokma?”
“It’s a poison made by Dokma. It was also one of his favorites. As you can see, there are no traces left.”
“So how did you know that? It couldn’t have been that the Dokma directly informed you or anything.”
Byeoktaesan didn’t dare answer.
“Uh? Is what I guessed the correct answer?”
Cheon chu shin-ui stared at Byeoktaesan with amazement.
“Stop sounding useless and find out why they used this clumsy poison now.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“Is it?”
“They can only make it like this.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It means that the one who used the poison is not Dokma.”
“It’s not Dokma?”
“Yes. It is clear that the one who used this poison doesn’t know the right recipe.
“How are you sure of that?”
“The blend is clumsy. In fact, that’s why it took us time to figure this out.”
“Clumsy?”
“Yes. Honestly, if he had made it right, the entire Uichang would have been suffering from poison by now.”
“Is it possible that this was done on purpose?”
“Even if you deliberately try to limit the effect this way. There is a way to achieve the same effect and reduce material costs, so there is no reason to do it this way.”
“Is that so? Then if it wasn’t Dokma, perhaps a disciple?
“Does the Dokma even have disciples?”
“It is rare to see a person raise as many disciples as the Dokma. Although it would be better to say that they are slaves who took care of him rather than disciples.”
“A-a slave?”
“He doesn’t care whether it’s a man and woman, but he takes a young person as a student, and he would make them sleep with him and do chores, telling them one or two secrets, and so on.”
Cheon Chu Shin Ui opened his mouth.
“How many such guys are there?”
“How would I know that? Several people die a day and come in new.
Byeoktae-san stroked his chin for a moment and thought, then he said.
“When I saw it before, I think there were twelve. It’s weird though. First of all, there’s no way he would let a person he brought in as a disciple go.”
Il Chim Gui who stayed silent until then inquired cautiously.
“By the way, my lord. Why are you interested in this job?”
“Just because.”
“Pardon?”
“Do you need a reason? It’s just because, just because.”
Il Chim Gui shut his mouth.
When he thought about it, it was a reason befitting of Byeoktaesan.
