Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 147

**Chapter 147: The Holgazan Solves it (2)**

“How long before we get to Luoyang?”

Seomun Dayeon responded to Wei Yanho.

“I think we’ll be there in three days.”

“…it’s too slow.”

Seomun Dayeon frowned.

If they had used light martial arts instead of travelling by carriage, they would have arrived by now. Why are they taking so long to get to Luoyang?

‘I’m going crazy!’

If his martial abilities were weak, she could have done it herself, but after seeing how she defeated the Ghost and Sword Demons, she didn’t dare challenge him.

Besides…

‘…it was pretty impressive.’

Seomun Dayeon’s face blushed.

Although it is not compared to Wei Sanho, who is an incomparable gallant, Wei Yanho is not unpleasant either. His usual appearance and laziness hide him.

But when he saw it seriously, he realized something he hadn’t noticed before.

“We’ll be there soon. Increasing the speed of the carriage would be awkward, are you okay?”

“Uncomfortable?”

“A little bumpy.”

Wei Suryun responded laughing.

“My brother can sleep comfortably anywhere. Don’t worry about it.”

“S… yes?”

Seomun Dayeon, who was about to increase speed, shut up when he heard a groan from the carriage.

‘Ah, yes, she’s there.’

As she was hidden in the carriage, her presence was minimal.

“It will be difficult. There is one wounded.”

Wei Yanho frowned, looked down and sighed. “He could not scold him.”

“Well, there’s no choice.”

Wei Yanho shook his head and lay down.

Gong Mujin snapped his tongue at that.

“Don’t train? I’ve never seen you train all the way. If you sleep ten hours a day and neglect your training, you’ll lose everything you’ve earned.”

“…Training? Training, they’re calling you.”

“Huh?”

“Not that training!”

Wei Yanho yawned and turned his head.

‘I really don’t want to do it.’

It was natural for others to think that he was loitering all day.

But Wei Yanho did not want to explain, because explaining the technique of sleep training was very annoying.

If he tried to convince them that sleeping ten hours was the same as training ten hours, they would consider him a liar.

“What a talent.”

His master was an enigmatic character.

“There’s the inn.”

Wei Yanho popped his head to look forward. He saw a large wooden building in the distance.

“Finally, I can eat something decent.”

“Brother, you seem to have more appetite. You weren’t fussy about food before.”

“I was a fool.”

Wei Yanho said with nostalgia.

“I didn’t know Mom’s food was so delicious. I noticed after eating moss for five years.”

“It’s not possible for anyone to eat just that for five years.”

“…If I at least ate that, it was lucky.”

Wei Yanho trembled as he remembered his life in the infernal cave.

“And Mom doesn’t cook. The maids are the ones who cook.”

“S… yes?”

“If you eat Mom’s food, you will miss the moss.”

“….”

Mother.

Why can’t you cook?

“However, once we enter the inn, I will be able to eat and sleep well. Travelling by carriage is also exhausting. I thought I just had to sit down, but I don’t.”

Wei Yanho nodded and looked at the inn.

“Juf! Juf! Juf!”

He was short of air.

His inner energy had run out, and every step he took felt like needles were stuck in his abdomen.

But he could not stop. If he stopped, those who pursued him would kill him without mercy.

‘I just have to get rid of them.’

Even if he was tired and suffering, once he got rid of his persecutors, a new world would open before him. The feeling of the book in his arms held Gwak Sun.

“Ugh!”

Blood kept coming out of his throat. Gwak Sun swallowed the blood and kept running.

He felt a burning pain in the long wound on his back, but he had no time to complain.

‘How did I get to this?’

He only felt greed for the secret book.

The legacy of the Sword Emperor was a treasure any warrior would wish to have.

‘I didn’t think I’d get it.’

Although I had tried, I had expected some luck, but never thought I would really get the secret book of the Sword Emperor.

Humans have things they should see even if they don’t reach them, and Gwak Sun had only looked.

But luckily, luckily, the secret book fell into his hands.

The two people who were fighting for the secret book killed each other, and he quickly took the book. That was lucky.

But then hell began.

People he could never face started chasing him.

He couldn’t rest for a moment. All he could do was run away until his inner energy ran out.

“……no.”

He felt the urge to get rid of the book every time his inner energy ran out. If he threw it away, he could survive. No one would chase him. They would just chase the book.

“Ugh…”

Gwak Sun, with trembling hands, pulled the book out of his coat.

The Treasure of the Sword Emperor ().

Only the title, written with vigorous calligraphy, suggested the incredible content it contained.

The method of becoming the best warrior in the world was in this book.

But should I give that up?

Just to survive?

“…I can’t!”

Gwak Sun murmured bitterly.

“I will kill… I will kill! Juf! I will kill!”

If he could get rid of his persecutors and hide in the mountains…

Only five years. At that time, he could decipher the content and become the successor to the Sword Emperor.

Then those who pursue him would not dare to look him in the eye.

He couldn’t keep living like a nobody.

He had been in the martial world for more than twenty years. How long had he suffered at the hands of the powerful? And now should he return to that life?

No!

Never!

Gwak Sun clenched his teeth and kept running.

But despite his will, his body gradually weakened. His body, without internal energy, moved like a deflated balloon. His hands trembled so much that it seemed that he was going to drop the book.

“Ugh.”

Blood kept coming out of his mouth. It was dark blood, not bright red, indicating that his internal wounds were severe.

His vision clouded and he felt dizzy.

‘I have… to be strong…’

Gwak Sun knew what was happening to him.

His body was rapidly losing its vitality due to the exhaustion of internal energy and an attack of madness. If he continued like this, he would die alone.

But he couldn’t stop.

‘Just a little more…’

There was a house within walking distance, he could hide among the people and get rid of his persecutors.

That would confuse those who pursued him.

I just need to get there!

All the way over there!

I couldn’t moan anymore.

Gwak Sun, with his eyes lost, stepped forward, and another.

How long had he run?

He saw a big white carriage.

‘Enemies!’

All he saw were his enemies.

Even if they were not their enemies, the moment they knew they had the legacy of the Sword Emperor, they would become enemies or thieves.

Then I didn’t have to hesitate.

Gwak Sun, with trembling hands, drew his sword with difficulty.

His hands were so weak that his wrist trembled.

Trembling legs.

Blood constantly coming out.

Gwak Sun laughed bitterly.

‘Is it over now?’

Although he had bravely drawn his sword, his body could not use more than one technique.

‘Good.’

Gwak Sun squeezed his teeth.

At this point, he could not become the owner of the legacy, but he had no intention of handing over the treasure he had obtained.

Gwak Sun blinked with blurred eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

“…….”

The young man in front of the carriage was entering the inn without paying attention to him.

What’s going on?

“Kuh…”

He could not articulate a whole sentence, but at least he could groan. “The young man, who was entering the inn, turned his head to look at him.”

“……does something hurt?”

At that moment, Gwak Sun was about to wipe his ears.

If his hands had worked, he would have nailed his sword to the ground and cleaned his ears.

I was starting to hear things.

It was a clear delusion.

There was no way anyone would ask him what hurt him after seeing someone bathed in blood, clothes soaked in blood and full of wounds.

If such a person existed, he would be the dumbest in the world, or someone who had just woken up and didn’t understand the situation.

“No… I won’t…”

Unfortunately, Gwak Sun did not have the energy to keep thinking. He only had the idea of protecting the legacy and his pride.

“……I won’t.”

The young man waved his head and looked at Gwak Sun’s face.

“Sir, if anything hurts you, look for a doctor instead of staying here. I know an excellent doctor, do you want me to introduce him? He’s a little far from here, and he’s young, but he’s very good.”

“…….”

His body weakened.

Gwak Sun’s body began to fall forward.

“No…”

At that moment, one hand held him by the chest.

A soft voice whispered in his ear.

“No one will take it away from you. So sleep quietly.”

Hearing the soft voice, Gwak Sun smiled slowly.

No one will take it away.

Nobody.

With those words, Gwak Sun was able to close his eyes in peace.
