Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 148

**Chapter 148: The Holgazan Solves it (3)**

Wei Yanho stared at Gwak Sun, who had died, and shook his head.

“…If everyone were less greedy, they could live in peace.”

– That’s why they’re human, you idiot!

“Ah, I know.”

Wei Yanho became angry when he heard the voice of his teacher in his mind.

“Well, then…”

Wei Yanho looked at the book that Gwak Sun had grasped hard to the end, with a strange expression.

‘The Treasure of the Sword Emperor…’

Wei Yanho looked up at the sky and said with admiration:

“They say that heaven rewards the good, I did not expect it to reward me for my sufferings in this way.”

But he would prefer something more useful.

Like money, or money, or maybe money.

The Treasure of the Sword Emperor, even if it was a valuable object, was useless to Wei Yanho. He did not want to learn it, and even if he wanted to get rid of it, he felt it would be a shame.

“Hmm.”

Wei Yanho took the Treasure of the Sword Emperor from Gwak Sun’s hand, kept it on his waist and loaded Gwak Sun’s body.

“Brother, what… huh?”

Wei Suryun, who had gone out looking for Wei Yanho, saw Wei Yanho carrying a body and trembled.

“Did you… kill him?”

“Huh?”

Doesn’t that sound a little strange?

“Brother, in these cases you ask ‘did she die?’ you didn’t ‘kill?’”

“……So you killed him?”

“I didn’t kill him! He died!”

“Did he die suddenly when you hit him?”

“I told you I didn’t kill him! He started throwing up blood, he staggered and died.”

Wei Suryun looked at Wei Yanho with skepticism. “Before, I would never have thought that Wei Yanho could kill someone, but she had seen Wei Yanho kill the Ghost and Sword Demons.

“Then… why did he die?”

“Why are you asking me?”

When Wei Yanho screamed, everyone inside came out.

Seeing the body Wei Yanho was carrying, they all frowned and spoke.

“Did you kill him?”

“Did you kill someone else?”

“A demon has appeared!”

Wei Yanho shouted with indignation and anger.

“It’s not true!”

“Wait a minute… what did you say?”

Gong Mujin’s expression hardened when he heard Wei Yanho’s explanation.

“It seems that this man died here as he ran away with the secret book.”

“Secret book? I hope it’s not the legacy of the Sword Emperor.”

Although I was asking, Gong Mujin was almost certain. Wasn’t that the only reason someone would die near here?

Considering the context and the situation, the conclusion was obvious. This man was probably the last owner of the legacy of the Sword Emperor. And he died here because he could not bear his wounds after a desperate flight.

So far, so good.

But…

“No! Why did he have to die here?! In this vast Central Plains! There are so many places to die, why here?”

“Wow…”

Wei Yanho looked at Gong Mujin as if he had seen something horrible.

“What horrible curses.”

“Curses?”

Gong Mujin was about to explode in anger.

“Do you understand how terrible it is to get involved in this? We are already suspected of having the secret book! No one will believe us even if we defend ourselves! Seolhwa! Get ready! We must go to Mount Hua!”

Unlike Gong Mujin, Wei Yanho was very quiet.

“Why would we be suspicious?”

“Of course we will! The last person who saw the owner of the secret book was us! We! So, naturally, they will suspect that we have the secret book!”

“That’s true.”

“……what?”

“We have it, the secret book.”

“Where?”

Gong Mujin’s eyes turned to Wei Yanho.

Wait a minute.

Was the book that was sloppy in his waist?

“Is that it? Is that it?”

“You seem to be getting nervous. If it’s the book that that man had, this is the right one. What was his name? The Treasure of the Sword Emperor? Something like that…”

Gong Mujin’s mouth opened wide.

The Treasure of the Sword Emperor.

Had he put a secret book with such an obvious name on his waist as if it were any book from a bookstore?

“Why do you have it?”

“You keep saying strange things. As it was man’s, now it is mine.”

“It’s not that!”

“I think one of the worst adult habits is to say, ‘I’ll tell you vaguely, so understand what you want.’ If you explain it clearly to me, I’ll understand it better, and you won’t be frustrated, so it would be better for everyone.”

“……I’m sorry.”

Gong Mujin just laughed.

It should simply ignore what Wei Yanho does, but by trying to understand it logically, it ends like this.

“Then that is the legacy of the Sword Emperor.”

“That’s right.”

“What will we do? Soon many will come looking for the legacy.”

“Hmm…”

Wei Yanho scratched his cheek.

“As it is in my hands, it is mine, isn’t it?”

“Many people will not deny that you own the Treasury of the Sword Emperor. The problem is that no one will recognize your property in the long term.”

“So what do we do?”

“They will kill you and take it away from you.”

“What a time! I can’t believe there are people who do that in the world.”

“…you are a warrior, aren’t you?”

“Do warriors have no laws?”

“Did you just kill two people and say that?”

“Oh, yes.”

Wei Yanho barked his head.

‘Can I do it?’

He had the right of an imperial inspector granted by the Emperor, so he had the power to execute those two demons who had killed civilians.

But publicly revealing that wasn’t a good thing, so Wei Yanho shut up.

“Then many people will come soon.”

“That’s right. I think the best option is simply to throw away the book. Cowards who dare not approach you directly might try to get something from you, but I can take care of it.”

“I see.”

Wei Yanho nodded as if he understood.

But seeing that Wei Yanho seemed willing to obey, Gong Mujin felt a puncture in his chest.

“What are you planning?”

“Hey, what do you mean?”

Gong Mujin looked at Wei Yanho with concern. “That look indicated that he was planning something.”

Luckily or unfortunately, Gong Mujin didn’t have to know what Wei Yanho thought.

♪ Swish ♪

With a silent sound, two or three people entered at the same time.

His eyes turned to Gwak Sun, who was tied to Wei Yanho’s waist.

“Gwak Sun, the Master of the Flash Hand. Finally he is dead.”

“The price he paid for coveting a treasure that did not belong to him.”

Gong Mujin’s eyes moved before those words.

“That man was Gwak Sun.”

He thought he would not be an ordinary person if he had managed to steal the secret book and escape alone, but he did not expect it to be Gwak Sun, the Master of the Flash Hand, known for his abilities.

‘Sure, someone like Gwak Sun could have escaped so many.’

The three of them exchanged glances.

They had already confirmed the death of Gwak Sun and the existence of the secret book on Wei Yanho’s waist.

“Snot, deliver the secret book. I will not hurt you.”

“This?”

Wei Yanho pulled the secret book out of his waist and shook it.

“Yes. You just have to give it to us.”

“Ah, hmm…”

Wei Yanho scratched his head and shook his head.

“Why should I give it to you? It’s mine.”

“We don’t want to play. Hand it over, or die.”

Wei Yanho’s choice was obvious.

“I don’t want either.”

“This brat…”

“Stop calling me a brat. I’ve heard a lot.”

“…….”

“Of course, aging means having experience, so it is understandable to have pride, but if you continue to despise young people, I will doubt your experience. Therefore, the teacher always said that you have to be careful with words.”

Although he himself hadn’t.

“Insolent brat!”

Wei Yanho looked at the three of them and spoke.

“The treasures are good. But it is inhuman to covet treasures when someone has died. First we should bury it and then talk.”

“What nonsense! That guy died of coveting a treasure that didn’t belong to him, why should we bury him? Stop talking nonsense and hand over the secret book.”

Wei Yanho wiped his ears and replied:

“I said no. But since they are older, they may not remember it. I will tell you again. This object is mine, so they cannot claim it.”

“Then it’s okay.”

The old man in front was about to do something when…

“Haha, older brother, don’t you think intimidating a child like him is unworthy of you?”

“You’re right. Why is that kid trying to use murderous martial arts?”

Voices were heard from afar, and more people began to appear.

“Hmm…”

The elder, called older brother, shook his head with a dark expression as more and more people approached.

“We should have attacked him without contemplation.”

“Do you think that would make you the owner of the secret book?”

People kept coming around, around the inn, and there were still plenty of them.

Gong Mujin frowned at the scene. “So many greedy had arrived, surely there would be a big problem. He could protect himself, but if he had to protect I Sheolhwa, it would be difficult.

“It seems that we cannot avoid the battle…”

Gong Mujin, who was about to speak with Wei Yanho, opened his eyes wide and pointed with a trembling hand.

“What… what are you doing?”

“Huh? Well…”

Wei Yanho, who had left the body and sat comfortably to read the Treasure of the Sword Emperor, shook the book.

“I am reading.”

“…….”

Gong Mujin looked into the sky.

‘What is the ghost doing…’

Without coming to look for him.
