Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 107

Chapter 107

“Mmm, it’s the mountains.”

Wei Yan-ho looked around him

As much as I looked I couldn’t feel the slightest trace of human presence.

“Why did he leave me here?”

Not that I thought there was any hidden motive.

Since he had traveled in the car, leaving it where the owner decided was his right. He should not blame the one who left him alone because he did not like where he had been left.

However, the reason Wei Yan-ho had those thoughts was because this place was in the middle of a mountain.

The fact that the old man had specifically left Wei Yan-ho there meant that, from now on, the old man was going to a place where he could not go with others.

A place deep in the mountains where I couldn’t go with strangers…

“I suppose it must be your house.”

Wei Yan-ho did not think deeply about it.

Since the elder seemed to have some history, traveling with a shadow, it would not be strange if he had any reason he could not tell them to others.

And it was right not to be interested in such personal matters of others.

If it had been something worth counting, I would have told you a long time ago.

The important thing was not that, but the place where Wei Yan-ho was now located was in the middle of an unknown mountain, and the sun had already set.

You should not walk carefully in the mountains after sunset. Even a three-year-old boy knew this common sense.

Of course, Wei Yan-ho was a sensible person. Even if common sense were reversed and he should hasten to escape the mountain after sunset, Wei Yan-ho would not move.

There was no way that Wei Yan-ho, who did not like to walk with his own feet even in broad daylight, would rush down a road in the middle of the night.

“Let’s see.”

If the sun had set, I should sleep.

This was an absolute truth that should be followed as long as one was born human.

Wei Yan-ho looked around, looking for a suitable place to sleep.

The ideal place to sleep you could find in this area would be the den of a beast. If there were a large den and you could bear the animal smell, it could become a warm and cozy place to sleep.

However, unless you were deep in the mountains, finding a lair large enough for a person to sleep was not easy, so that had to be ruled out.

Then the second place I could look for was not the den of a beast, but a cave.

It wouldn’t be spongy like a beast’s den and it would be wet, but it would still be a good place to sleep, as it could protect him from wind and rain. Unfortunately, as much as he looked for, he found nothing like a cave.

The third thing you might consider would be digging your own lair.

In this case, you wouldn’t have to worry about the smell of animals or moisture. Also, as Wei Yan-ho had learned martial arts, if he intended to dig a burrow, he could do so instantly. It would only require a little effort.

“Hahaha.”

But Wei Yan-ho just laughed.

You weren’t looking for a lair because you didn’t want to make that little effort?

Wei Yan-ho finally decided to choose the last method.

Wei Yan-ho, who had been looking around, began to walk slowly towards a large tree visible in the distance.

“I’ve slept under an eave before, why can’t I sleep under a tree?”

Even so, if I was going to do it anyway, a red skirt was better; a large tree on which it was comfortable to lean and lie would be ideal. Wei Yan-ho, who had seen a large tree not far away, turned towards him by dragging his feet.

“It’s creepy.”

Perhaps because the moon didn’t shine much today, the forest was silent. Interestingly, I didn’t even hear animal noises.

“At least it’s nice and quiet.”

Wei Yan-ho climbed the tree.

“Mmm.”

Wei Yan-ho, who had climbed the tree, found the largest branch and lay on it.

“It’s night, after all.”

It would be enough to get off the mountain after the sun came up.

Wei Yan-ho pulled a blanket out of his bundle, covered himself with it and went to sleep.

Although ordinary people could not sleep peacefully in such a place, Wei Yan-ho had endured five years in that wet cave. By comparison, this was like a soft bed.

The fact that no glacial cold came up from the ground was enough to make it a good enough place to sleep.

As to demonstrate this fact, Wei Yan-ho fell asleep slowly shortly after bedtime.

Sleeping was something the more you got, the more you needed.

***

“You couldn’t find him?”

“I couldn’t. I’m sorry.”

Jin So-ah sat stunned halfway.

What kind of person is he to have escaped Wuhan already?

If he goes too fast, it is a problem, but if he goes too slow, too. With the predictions of an ordinary person, it is impossible to know his route.

“Still…”

Jin So-ah was lost.

He hadn’t thought he’d be with Wei Yan-ho forever, but he hadn’t thought this kind of goodbye would come either.

“No way?”

“If we asked the Hao Clan or the Mendigo sect for something, we could find his whereabouts, but I wonder what the point would be. As he left for a purpose, even if we found him and visited him, he would not return.”

“That’s true.”

Looking back, Wei Yan-ho had always carried out his own will.

“I sigh…”

Jin So-ah, who felt it was useless to continue looking for Wei Yan-ho, nodded.

“If that’s his will, we shouldn’t bother him anymore.”

“I think making the clinic thrive would be the way to follow its will.”

I understand what you mean.

The answer was not difficult, but Jin So-ah had to feel as if one side of his heart was empty.

As he had already separated halfway from his older sister, he was now practically alone in the world. In the midst of all this, the presence of Wei Yan-ho had been somewhat comforting, but when even Wei Yan-ho left, a deep loneliness invaded him.

Major, Master of the Hall!

At that time, an urgent voice was heard from outside.

“What is it?”

Someone came and brought a letter, it seems to be from the Supreme Elder.

“Bring him immediately!”

But those words were unnecessary. Jin So-ah ran barefoot and snatched the letter from Jwa-geol.

“To Jin So-ah personally.”

Jin So-ah, who confirmed the characters written on the front, immediately opened the envelope and unfolded the letter.

“Then, ah, read this.

I was just about to leave, but I have something in mind, so I’m writing to you again. I feel a little worried and uncomfortable, but I think it’s something I need to communicate, so I’m sending you this letter. Please read the content and judge for yourself.

Right now your older sister is in the slums tending patients. She’s committing the foolishness of giving money to the patients with the money they have left from the colonization of the Sacred Hand Hall.

I tried to stop her, but her will was so firm that I couldn’t help it.

If we leave things as they are, he will soon lose all his goods and face ruin, so it seems that we must take some action.

If you plan to cut ties with your sister, you can forget about this letter. But if not, it would be good to support her secretly with the necessary medical and maintenance expenses, without revealing your name.

As a reference, I’ve taken my own action on security issues, so don’t worry.

Relationships can be easily cut, but blood ties never break.

“I hope you don’t let a momentary passion regret you forever.”

Jin So-ah left the letter and sighed.

“You could have just told me to support her directly.”

What a shame he must have felt when writing in such an indirect way!

“What’s going on?”

“Look at this.”

Ha Dae-bung read the letter and nodded.

“That’s right. She is the elder sister of the Master of the Hall. If she continues to walk alone and her situation worsens, she will certainly harm the reputation of the Master of the Hall. I will support her anonymously with medicines apart.

“I am indebted to you again.”

“…The Master of the Hall is already doing enough for me.”

“Is that so?”

“If you really think it’s a debt, become an even better doctor, so I’ll make more money because of that, so wouldn’t it be good for the Supreme Elder as well?”

“That’s right.”

Jin So-ah nodded.

“Then we don’t have time for this. I should go to study.

At that time, a man who had entered through the front door whispered something to the servants and then walked towards Jin So-ah.

“Huh?”

If I were a patient, I wouldn’t ignore that long line and go in.

“What business do you have?”

Jwa-geol blocked the man.

At first glance, he was not an ordinary man.

A man dressed in a flawless red martial robe, with a pure Hero Diadema tied to his forehead. His eyes were bright and clear, and the huge sword on his waist inspired fear and reverence.

“If young Master Wei had seen himself like this, perhaps the Brotherhood of the Black Spider would not have fallen.”

It was the appearance of the young hero that the former leader of the Black Spider Brotherhood had repeatedly described.

Let me ask you something. Isn’t there a Wei Yan-ho here?

“Why are you looking for the young master Wei?”

Jin So-ah’s eyes sharpened.

“Do you know him?”

Jin So-ah did not respond. He was not so cowardly as to give answers so easily when someone with a sword suddenly appeared looking for an acquaintance.

“Ah!”

The man, understanding the situation, hollowed out his hands politely.

“I am Peng Dao-ji, of the Peng family of Hebei. I came to see the young hero Wei Yan-ho on a matter of the Martial Alliance.”

Martial Alliance, Hebei’s Peng family?

Although Jin So-ah was a doctor, there was no way he didn’t know the names of the Orthodox Martial Alliance and the Peng Family.

“Why are these people looking for the young master Wei?”

“I’m not looking for him with bad intentions. I was involved in a matter of yours and I’m looking for him to ask him about something related to that matter, so please stop suspecting.”

“Ah…”

Jin So-ah dismissed his suspicions immediately. He was never gullible or someone who trusted others easily, but the importance of the names of the Peng Family and the Orthodox Martial Alliance was so great that even someone like him had to discard his suspicions immediately.

“You seem to have come a long way, but unfortunately young Master Wei left three days ago.”

“Three days ago?”

“Yes, he left three days ago.”

Do you happen to know where he went?

“I don’t know that very well either…”

“I see.”

Peng Dao-ji seemed disappointed, but soon he raised his head and hollowed out his hands.

“I was rude, then goodbye.”

While Peng Dao-ji hollowed out his hands and went out, Jin So-ah asked with a blank expression.

“Chief Major.”

“Yes, Master of the Hall.”

“Was our young master Wei so great? Why is the Orthodox Martial Alliance looking for the young master Wei?”

“Big…”

Ha Dae-bung gently caressed his beard and laughed between his teeth.

“If someone with such plans and martial dexterity is not called great at that age, who would dare to use the word ‘great’? The Supreme Elder is an Agazaped Dragon among the Agazaped Dragons.”

“Is that so?”

– Of course, of course.

But Ha Dae-bung didn’t bother to add anything.

He was a crouching Dragon, yes, but that fucking crouching Dragon was literally crouching and showed no sign of getting up.

A crouched dragon is only a crouched dragon if it flies; if it remains lying, they simply forget it.

“I should have a chance to fly high.”

“What?”

“Never mind.”

Ha Dae-bung shook his hands and dragged Jin So-ah into the treatment room.

We’ve been taking too long, you have to work now.

***

Wei Yan-ho opened her eyes in silence and felt a strange sensation.

‘What is it?’

Considering that Wei Yan-ho rarely woke up only once he fell asleep, the fact that he woke up only when the sun had not yet come out was a very surprising event.

Wei Yan-ho, who had been thinking for a while why he woke up, soon found reason.

‘What is this?’

Wei Yan-ho, who discovered that something was blinking before his eyes, opened his eyes a lot.
