Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: The Lazy One is Captured (1)

The person who turned their head upon hearing Wei Yanho’s shout opened their eyes wide upon seeing Wei Yanho and the others.

“Ugh, ugh!”

It seemed they wanted to speak but couldn’t, swallowing saliva repeatedly and shouting:

“Sisterrrr! Help!”

Jin Yeran pushed Wei Yanho aside and ran forward.

“Soahhhh!”

Jin Yeran ran towards Jin Soah and began to examine her.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“Sister～”

Jin Yeran began to cry upon seeing Jin Soah crying uncontrollably. She had many scratches on her face.

“This…!”

Jin Yeran glared at Daehogun with fury, and Daehogun felt something was wrong.

“…Who is he?”

A subordinate responded in disbelief:

“A doctor.”

“A doctor? Why?”

“Didn’t you say to find a doctor who could cure the mountain god before departing?”

“Yes…”

“Although he looks young, he is famous in Wuhan. We tried to bring him carefully, but he said he couldn’t come leaving his patients, so we kidnapped him at night. Hahahaha.”

“Really?”

Daehogun laughed.

“I see.”

Yes, well done. Very well done.

So well done that the story of Nokrim will change today.

*Gooooooooo*.

A powerful aura began to emanate from behind.

“Hahahaha.”

He couldn’t help but laugh.

When one is shocked, they can only laugh.

He looked slowly and saw Wei Yanho trembling with veins bulging on his forehead.

“What…”

Wei Yanho took several deep breaths, and shouted:

“Who did this to my little sister?!”

Wei Yanho’s furious shout shook the fortress.

***

Ho Sam, who was collecting medicinal herbs on Fukho Mountain, swallowed saliva as he walked.

“H… hey.”

Yeom Mu, who was with him, stopped him urgently.

“What’s wrong?”

“…Aren’t we close to Daehochae?”

“I know.”

“You’re causing trouble. Do you know what happens if you encounter the bandits?”

“I know!”

Ho Sam cursed.

“The medicinal herbs are running out, should I worry about my life? You know there’s a swamp up there where many medicinal herbs grow.”

“I know. But even if the medicinal herbs are important, isn’t life more important?”

“They won’t kill us.”

Ho Sam quickened his pace firmly.

“At worst, they’ll steal the medicinal herbs and beat us. It’s worth a try.”

“Worth it… this guy…”

“Shut up.”

Ho Sam got angry.

“My children are starving. My wife doesn’t complain, but she has been praying for me for a month. If I’m going to starve to death or die, I must try. If you’re scared, go back. Look for ginseng.”

“……”

Yeom Mu looked at Ho Sam in surprise and clicked his tongue.

“Damn it.”

Ho Sam was right.

Fukho Mountain was known for its medicinal herbs, but since Daehochae became big, they couldn’t go to the top anymore.

Because of that, the medicinal herb collectors left or were in a desperate situation like Ho Sam.

“I’ll die once, or I’ll die twice.”

Yeom Mu gritted his teeth.

‘Since no one has gone up there, if we go up, we can get many treasures.’

Yeom Mu decided to take the risk.

“Okay, I’ll go.”

“Be quiet. If the bandits see you, you’re dead.”

“Yes.”

Ho Sam and Yeom Mu climbed the mountain carefully.

As they climbed the mountain, hiding in the bushes, they became extremely tense as they approached Daehochae.

“I don’t see any bandits today.”

“Something must be happening. It’s good for us.”

There were no bandits patrolling.

“It’s so quiet that it worries me…”

Suddenly, Ho Sam went silent and looked around.

“Did you hear that?”

“What?”

“Did you hear that sound?”

“A sound?”

“Shh.”

Ho Sam crouched down, and Yeom Mu imitated him.

“It sounds like a scream.”

Ho Sam was looking towards Daehochae.

Sure that it was a scream, Ho Sam began to move towards the sound.

“Where are you going? That’s the direction of Daehochae.”

“Yes. Something strange is happening. If we go up now, we might die, so we must check what’s happening.”

“Can’t we just leave? My heart is beating very fast.”

“If you want to starve to death, do it.”

“Ugh…”

Ho Sam ignored Yeom Mu and continued walking.

‘If the bandits are fighting among themselves, or if the soldiers are attacking, we can steal some treasures.’

It wasn’t just curiosity.

Ho Sam approached Daehochae and looked.

“……What is that?”

“That is…”

Ho Sam’s eyes trembled.

‘Is it dust? Could it be…’

Although it’s not uncommon to see dust, the dust they were seeing was too big.

A large cloud of dust covered the fortress. It was strange.

“Don’t you see something coming out?”

“Coming out?”

Yeom Mu focused his sight, and saw something coming out of the cloud of dust.

“What is that?”

“……Can you handle the truth?”

“Tell me. Your eyesight is better than mine.”

“It looks like people.”

“Huh?”

“It looks like people.”

“P… people?”

Upon hearing Yeom Mu, he saw white figures coming out.

“Really?”

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

Upon seeing the white figures and hearing the distant screams, they understood.

‘They are people.’

Ho Sam rubbed his eyes several times.

People?

Why are people flying?

What is happening there?

“They’re coming this way.”

“Huh?”

Ho Sam raised his head upon hearing Yeom Mu.

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

The screams became louder, and the white figures approached them at an astonishing speed.

“Hiik!”

Before they could escape, something fell in front of them.

*Kuuung!*

They felt a jolt as if the ground had collapsed. Ho Sam crouched down and raised his head, seeing a strange scene.

‘People?’

Yes, people.

But they weren’t normal people. The person who had flown fell to the ground, burying themselves up to their waist.

Only their legs, stiff, were trembling.

“What… what is happening?”

Why did someone fly and fall like that?

What was happening in that fortress?

At that moment…

“Ay!”

A man fell from the sky.

“Am I okay? Are you alive?”

The man approached the person who had fallen and kicked their waist. Each kick made the body move like an animal.

“He’s alive.”

A man.

A young man yawned, stretched his arms, and pulled something out of the ground.

“Huk!”

Ho Sam covered his mouth upon seeing that, but couldn’t help but groan.

It was obvious.

It was Daehogun, the leader of Daehochae. Everyone in the area knew his face.

Daehogun, who was known for his cruelty, was on the ground, with his face full of dirt and foam in his mouth, held by the man.

“Stop pretending!”

The man threw Daehogun to the ground. *Thud!* Dust flew everywhere.

‘So, is that cloud of dust?’

Ho Sam didn’t understand what was happening.

What was happening here?

“Uh…”

He groaned unintentionally, and the man looked at Ho Sam.

“Huk!”

It seemed he had been discovered.

The man tilted his head and asked:

“Bandits?”

“N… no.”

“Then?”

“We are medicinal herb collectors. We were passing by here…”

“Medicinal herbs?”

Ho Sam responded without understanding what the man was asking.

“If we don’t collect medicinal herbs today, we will starve! Sir, please forgive us!”

“Ah, I see. Wait.”

“…Eh?”

The man disappeared.

“Hiik?”

Ho Sam knelt down in horror. The man appeared again.

But this time, he had a large sack instead of Daehogun.

“Is this it? Check it.”

The man threw the sack at Ho Sam. Ho Sam opened it without understanding.

“Huuuk!”

Ho Sam’s eyes trembled.

The sack was full of valuable medicinal herbs.

“Is it correct?”

“Yes! Yes! These are the medicinal herbs.”

“Then, go back today.”

“…Eh?”

“I’m giving them to you. It’s dangerous today, go back. You might get hurt if someone flying hits you.”

People?

Flying people?

Like before?

Again?

“Y… yes.”

“Then, goodbye.”

Ho Sam got up when the man disappeared.

Then he bowed deeply before Daehochae.

“What are you doing?”

“He’s a god!”

“Eh?”

Ho Sam shouted with emotion:

“The god had mercy on us and punished the bandits!”

Ho Sam was completely wrong.
