The Three Kings’ Disciple

“Hmm.”

After pondering for a while, Lee Rowan picked up some clothes.

Actually, he didn’t really care much about clothes.

-You must have dignity!

Because of those who were making a fuss, the clothes he wore in the Blood King Castle were extremely extravagant.

Even when he tried to find other clothes.

-We have prepared them here.

None of them were to Lee Rowan’s liking.

Something else, something else.

-Would you like to wear this?

Lee Yong-jin spoke first, but it was the same for him.

Lee Shin-woo had gone straight out the door after arriving at the Blood King Castle, so he couldn’t borrow his clothes either.

There were many ways, but.

-Blood Demon… Lord!

It wasn’t just his close aides who were making a fuss, so Lee Rowan had been contemplating for a long time.

-Isn’t this the uniform given to new guild members?

-That’s right.

A whispering voice reached Lee Rowan.

-I heard it was specially made by the Tang family.

-Can we trust something from the Tang family?

Many thought that the martial uniforms worn by martial artists were just pieces of cloth, but in reality, it was completely different.

The martial uniforms worn by martial artists could easily deflect swords wielded by ordinary people, and in the case of martial uniforms of a fairly high grade, they had the defensive power to even block bullets.

The martial uniforms worn by martial artists were the result of the total concentration of the Silver’s technology [referring to a specific advanced technology or civilization].

It had further evolved by combining with Earth’s technology, so in fact, the martial uniforms of martial artists could be said to be high-grade items in themselves.

Among them, the items from the Tang family were considered undisputed luxury goods.

-They look the same, so what’s different?

-I heard that if you inject internal energy, the defense power increases as if you’re wearing a protective aura.

The Blood King Castle had absorbed such a Tang family, and the fact that the items of those artisans were being given out was understandable to the excitement of the ordinary followers.

Of course, the fact that the Tang family was in their grasp was an open secret, but it shouldn’t be revealed, so the design aspect was exactly the same as before.

“I heard they are given to new guild members first. Since they are the most at risk.”

“That’s also…”

The two who were talking stopped in their tracks.

A presence that appeared before them without any sign.

Clang!

They immediately drew their swords and assumed a battle stance.

Their series of movements were extraordinary, and their reaction without fear or hesitation was quite satisfactory.

“Who are you!”

It was natural to shout at the appearing monster.

And.

Swoosh.

The one who appeared had already disappeared…

“Not bad.”

They were speaking from behind them.

Them quickly turning around.

“Can I take one?”

“Who…”

Their eyes, which had been bewildered by the unusualness, slowly widened.

Soon, along with their eyes that had widened to the point of almost tearing.

“L-Lord Blood Demon… !”

“We greet Lord Blood Demon!”

They immediately knelt and bowed their heads to the ground.

Lee Rowan’s face was not known to everyone in the Blood King Castle.

He didn’t attend any official events, and he did things as he pleased.

Some wondered if they should draw a portrait of him and distribute it to the followers.

-It’s blasphemous!

The elders of the Blood Sect, including Kang Han-cheol, rejected the idea.

The reason was that it was unacceptable to draw Lee Rowan’s face without permission, and that they had to be careful about spreading his face now that the Blood Sect was not fully revealed and was operating secretly.

“Do you know me?”

However, they knew Lee Rowan.

“Yes, y-yes!”

They answered with perfect posture.

“In the Galaxy…”

Ah! Come to think of it, he seemed to remember.

“Was it Kim Tae-jin?”

“D-Do you… know me?”

“I think we went into the gate together.”

“Y-Yes, that’s right!”

The man called Kim Tae-jin answered as if he was about to burst into tears.

“Your skills have improved a lot.”

Lee Rowan said in an emotionless voice.

“Your sword stance and spirit are quite different from back then.”

“……!”

“Anyway, can I take one?”

Lee Rowan said, picking up the clothes in the cart they were pulling, without even waiting for an answer.

“Of course!”

An answer was heard.

“Good work.”

Lee Rowan tapped them on the shoulder and disappeared like a shadow.

Long after Lee Rowan disappeared.

“H-He remembers me…”

“He touched my shoulder…”

The two of them sat down in place, dazed, as if they had met their idol.

Galaxy Guild.

Now, it was a large guild and sect that could not be left out in South Korea.

Also, their name was spreading not only in South Korea but throughout the Silver’s dominion.

In the meantime, Galaxy had grown at a pace that was not enough to be called rapid.

There had not been a single gate break [a phenomenon where portals to other dimensions open] in the area they controlled, and many people, attracted by their safety, had moved in.

They also periodically recruited guild members, and Galaxy did not only accept martial artists.

Originally, martial arts guilds based on sects only accepted martial artists who had learned martial arts, but Galaxy.

-We will also recruit players.

Galaxy did not refuse to accept players under the name of reserve combatants.

Galaxy, which had grown in this way, had become a place with enough guild members to be called large.

And today.

“Hey, newbies!”

The newly selected guild members were lined up in the guild house’s training ground.

Thud!

They were all in perfect formation.

Only a few of them had no experience.

Most of them had experience in other guilds, or were wandering ronin [masterless samurai or warriors] or players without guilds.

After numerous experiences.

“Welcome to Galaxy.”

They were able to join Galaxy, which they had longed for.

“……”

Their faces showed complex emotions.

However, the common emotion they felt was pride.

Smirk.

The senior guild member who stood on the platform and looked at them was the same.

Park Han-soo, who belonged to the 7th Attack Team of Galaxy and held the position of vice-captain, could understand their pride.

“Does anyone know me?”

Park Han-soo asked, facing all those lined up.

“We do-!”

A thunderous answer was heard.

The 7th Attack Team, the lower the attack team number, the stronger they were and the more attacks they took on.

Galaxy already had up to 10 attack teams, and the 7th Attack Team was still considered a non-mainstream group within Galaxy.

Even that was the vice-captain, not the captain.

“Aren’t you the Great Hero Park Han-soo, the Evil Demon Sword!”

Park Han-soo smiled with satisfaction at their shouts.

It was because they recognized him and his achievements were praised, but.

“Yes. I am the Evil Demon Sword.”

It was because it would help with what he was about to say.

“Then, do you know what I did before I joined Galaxy?”

Those who had been shouting like thunder a moment ago soon closed their mouths.

“……”

It was because they really had nothing to say.

Park Han-soo had carried out numerous attacks as the vice-captain of Galaxy.

He was called the Evil Demon Sword because he wielded his sword like a demon and had no mercy on his enemies.

But that was the story of his achievements in Galaxy.

Before that, who was he?

“Does anyone know which sect I came from, or what I used to do?”

They didn’t know anything.

“I was.”

Park Han-soo said.

“A ronin.”

“……!”

The eyes of the guild members lined up widened as if they were about to tear.

“I understand that expression. It’s amazing, isn’t it? That a mere ronin became the vice-captain of a huge guild called Galaxy, and even has a plausible nickname like the Evil Demon Sword.”

“That’s…”

“Don’t say it’s not. I hate liars to the extreme.”

“……”

Ronin.

They were people who had lost their affiliation because they had lost their world or had been expelled from their sect.

They wandered around and sold their swords for money.

The things they could do were obvious.

Most of them were involved in crimes.

Or they were doing things like throwing away their lives for a price.

Some ronin with excellent skills were used for quite valuable work, but most of them were not even treated like people.

They were better than players, but it was impossible for them to sit in a high position in a large guild like Galaxy.

“It’s not just me.”

Park Han-soo said.

“Do you know the captain of the 10th Attack Team?”

“We do-!”

“He was also a ronin.”

“……”

Now the guild members had expressions that they couldn’t be more surprised.

They put a ronin in the position of vice-captain and captain.

It was an impossible story in other martial arts guilds.

The captain was a person who had command and could move troops.

Putting a ronin, not a martial artist from a sect, in such an important position was not in line with various risks and interests.

“Galaxy is.”

Park Han-soo said.

“That kind of place.”

There was pride in Park Han-soo’s voice.

“Galaxy doesn’t care about your background. This also applies to…”

His eyes swept over the crowd again.

“Players.”

“……!”

“There isn’t a player sitting in the position of captain of Galaxy yet, but…”

“I know that the vice-captain of the 4th Attack Team is a player-!”

Someone’s voice.

“That’s correct. What’s your name?”

“Kim Jun-hyun!”

“I remember.”

The guild member named Kim Jun-hyun had a moved expression at Park Han-soo’s words.

“Players can also take high positions as long as they build up their skills and achievements.”

There was no discrimination.

“Look at your martial uniforms.”

Park Han-soo’s words did not end.

“There are no markings on the martial uniforms you wear.”

Only one thing, the word Galaxy, was engraved on it.

MArtial arts guilds accept martial artists and engrave their origins on their martial uniforms.

It was important where they came from and what they had learned.

Also, in some cases, martial arts guilds recruited players to do odd jobs, and at that time, they wore completely different clothes, not martial uniforms.

-Difference.

No, disguised as a difference.

-Discrimination.

It was discrimination.

“Galaxy doesn’t measure anything, and doesn’t ask anything. Here, you can get everything according to your efforts. So…”

Park Han-soo said with a smile.

“Work hard enough to die. Then you might have the life you want.”

Is that how the faces of those who have achieved their dreams look?

Also, thinking about their future, Park Han-soo smiled involuntarily.

But Park Han-soo’s face suddenly distorted.

“……?”

When Park Han-soo’s angelic face distorted, the guild members couldn’t hide their bewilderment and had to follow his gaze.
