Vol 2 Chapter 67. I Want to Do That Too (2)
Patrick let out a deep sigh.
Right. I know.
I am not Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon, but Double Dragon Patrick Sky Schneider.
Successor of the Schneider Duchy. So….
“Regrettably, I will decline the Alliance Leader position.”
At Patrick’s words, the Divine Monk smiled bitterly and lifted the liquor bottle again.
“It is fine. It wasn't exactly my true intention.”
No, this depraved monk….
When Patrick made a sulky face, the Divine Monk laughed hollowly and said.
“Even looking like this, this monk is quite confident in eyes for seeing people.”
“Ah so? Good for you?”
“You are not someone suited to managing and ruling above anyone. Unless it is a role of stepping forward ahead of anyone and leading?”
“…….”
It seems the words about having an eye for people are true.
“Then, place people in the right places with that good eye.”
“Hahaha. I came to do that.”
Huh? Came to do that?
It seems the Divine Monk didn't come here just to steal his liquor.
The Divine Monk stared blankly at Patrick and….
“Would you, Evil-Breaking Swordsman, take charge yourself and take one Captain position?”
“Captain…. What role do you intend to entrust?”
“I heard Namgung Clan Head’s children are going to the Twin Dragon Sect to ask for your teaching.”
“That is true. Why that?”
“A role to lead such young friends is needed.”
“Telling me to babysit?”
“Asking you to show a right example to rising stars and lead them.”
Hearing the Divine Monk’s words, Patrick fell into thought.
He knew he would give a position, but didn't know he would entrust a Captain position altogether.
If it is a Captain of the Murim Alliance, it is effectively a position leading an independent force.
To entrust such a position to him….
[Example…. The Abbot’s expectation seems excessive.]
“Ah, wait a bit!”
“Hm?”
“Not talking to you. Hmm, Captain….”
It wasn't bad. Not bad but….
“Let me ask one thing? Is it Outer Hall? Or Inner Hall?”
Outer Hall and Inner Hall.
Outer Hall is a place that operates outside the Murim Alliance, engaging in combat with other sects or collecting information, performing such missions.
Inner Hall stays inside the Murim Alliance, policing the inside and blocking enemies from external invasion.
It is not absolute, but usually so.
“Which side do you want?”
“Defending doesn't fit my personality. Let’s go with Outer Hall.”
“Understood. In that case….”
“And there are two conditions.”
“Please speak.”
“First, I will name the squad Twin Dragon Squad.”
“Twin Dragon Squad. Good. Do as you wish.”
“And secondly….”
When Patrick attached the second condition, an unexpected emotion appeared on the Divine Monk’s face.
“Must you do so?”
“It is a necessary matter.”
“But already….”
“…….”
Seeing Patrick’s expression being serious, the Divine Monk sighed and said.
“Understood. I will respect the Evil-Breaking Swordsman’s will.”
“Thank you. Alliance Leader.”
Patrick bowed politely.
With this, he obtained all the practical benefits he could get from this trip to Shaolin. Now he just needs to watch the Alliance founding ceremony and return to the sect.
‘Until then, shall I gather some useful members? Since it’s something I have to do anyway.’
Just in time, he remembers a few talents who showed potential in the martial arts tournament.
‘It’s annoying, but shall I move a bit?’
It was then.
A rough wind blew once where Patrick was, and someone flew in riding that wind.
There is only one person Patrick knows who can do such a thing in the current Murim.
“Elione? Did you miss me…. What’s the matter?”
Seeing Elione’s serious expression, Patrick’s expression also changed. Then Elione said….
“Enemies invaded the Twin Dragon Sect!”
“What?”
“I heard it through the World Tree. It is said the sect could be in danger because they are considerable enemies.”
Patrick’s expression changed drastically.
He bit his lip tight and said.
“Gather the kids. Right now!”
“Yes.”
* * *
Must be calm.
Losing cool helps nothing.
Patrick knew better than anyone that he had to be calm at times like this.
Fortunately, he had prepared sufficient defense in the sect.
The fact that Elione was contacted through the World Tree means the contact came as soon as the enemies arrived.
‘Time is sufficient.’
Therefore, Patrick first gathered the disciples and thought calmly about what he should do in the meantime. After a while.
“Venerable Master. Enemies, you say?”
“Is that true?”
“We will also help.”
The disciples arrived.
Behind them, Namgung Clan’s three sons were also together, perhaps having become quite close.
Looking at them, Patrick gave instructions quickly.
“Sona.”
“Yes. Master.”
“I will return to the sect with Elione right now. You protect the kids at this spot and return after doing your duty as a disciple.”
“Isn't it better for me to go together too?”
“No, there is still work the Twin Dragon Sect needs to do here. You protect the kids here.”
“Understood.”
Persona seemed somewhat dissatisfied but still did not disobey Patrick’s order.
And Patrick gave a gaze to Mun Yul and said.
“Mun Yul.”
“Yes. Venerable Master.”
“Sona is dark to the ways of the Murim. You help her well from the side.”
“Yes. Understood.”
Finally, Patrick spoke towards the Shaolin Abbot beside him.
“As you heard, it seems a big problem occurred in the sect. I ask for your understanding as I must return first.”
“Amitabha. It is an unavoidable matter. I hope there is no big trouble in your sect.”
“Thank you. As my deputy, my disciple Sona here will represent me.”
“Understood. I will prepare fast horses right now, so please wait a little.”
“No need.”
There is no time to leisurely ride horses back.
From Henan to Gansu Province, it takes over 10 days even riding fast horses.
However, Patrick has a much faster means of transportation.
“Storm Spear!”
Then a giant Elder Griffin descended from the sky.
“Gasp?”
“What is this…?”
Those around were startled.
They had never seen such a creature with an eagle’s head, a lion’s body, and huge wings.
Even the Divine Monk flinched for a moment and clenched his fist. But….
“Did you call? Master.”
When the monster seen for the first time in their lives spoke, everyone was surprised yet relaxed their tension.
“It’s a spiritual beast.”
“Seeing it knows how to speak human language, it must be an incredible spiritual beast.”
If it were usual Patrick, he might have teased them calling them country bumpkins while enjoying the gazes of those marveling like this, but now there was no time for that.
“Returning to the Twin Dragon Sect.”
“Understood.”
“Elione. Increase Storm Spear’s speed with wind spirits. You can do it, right?”
“Yes. Of course. Honey.”
As Patrick and Elione climbed on, Storm Spear flapped his huge wings and soared.
“Hurry!”
Simultaneously with Patrick’s shout, Storm Spear flying up vigorously disappeared quickly to the other side of the sky.
“Brother Mun Yul.”
Namgung Min said to Mun Yul.
“What is it?”
“Did the Twin Dragon Sect have such a spiritual beast too?”
“I see it for the first time too.”
Mun Yul sighed.
That Venerable Master isn't an onion, why are there so many layers appearing the more you peel….
But one thing he could be relieved about.
‘It will be okay. Since Venerable Master is going, the sect and Master will be safe.’
It must be so.
* * *
Before the Twin Dragon Sect came to Shaolin.
Elione met the World Tree.
“Ah…. Long time no see. I’m glad. You took root sturdily like this.”
Elione was moved seeing the healthy World Tree.
Compared to when it was in Evergreen in the past, the current World Tree is still merely a sprout.
But it seemed to have taken root sturdily and settled down.
Because Patrick made the World Tree the Divine Item of the Twin Dragon Sect.
If it is a Divine Item, it is an existence the sect must revere and protect preciously.
In other words, it can be said to be the same as an object of faith.
Disciples cultivating Qi under the World Tree every morning and sweeping and managing the surroundings cleanly one by one became food for the World Tree to accumulate divine power.
In the distant future, if the Twin Dragon Sect prospers greatly and becomes a giant sect raising the World Tree’s status, then it might be able to recover the divine rank like the past.
Elione was moved and went to the World Tree and reached out her hand. Then….
“It has been a long time. My child.”
“Mother….”
The avatar of the World Tree appeared.
Except for the slightly younger appearance, she looked as healthy as before being attacked by Jonsa.
Elione shed tears and said to her, “I am glad you are safe.”
“You also look healthy.”
Elione wiped her tears and said.
“I came today because I have a favor to ask.”
“Speak.”
“While Patrick and I are gone, I want you to protect this place called the sect.”
“I want to do so, but compared to the past, my power is too weak.”
“It’s okay. I will lend you my spirits.”
“Can you do that?”
“Of course.”
Thinking about it, Elione is originally an Elven Knight, an excellent talent capable of handling two high-ranking spirits.
The perverted elf attacking Patrick when he is sleeping and doing this and that wasn't her true appearance.
“I need to use Sylph. I will give you Flare instead.”
The high-ranking spirit of fire summoned by Elione permeated into the World Tree.
“Since I lent you my spirit, you will be able to use some power. Still, if something unmanageable happens, please contact me through the spirit. I will come running immediately.”
“Right. Thank you.”
After handing over the spirit to the World Tree like this, Elione said to Patrick.
“Now I can also go to the place called Shaolin, right?”
“Uh…. Yeah. You can.”
* * *
This is what happened before Patrick came to Shaolin.
Patrick asked Elione about the situation on top of Storm Spear.
“How are the enemies? Numbers and strength?”
“The numbers seem over 200. Among them, it seems there are three exceptionally strong ones.”
“Three, you say, how strong?”
“Judging by Pangemonia Continent standards, they say all are above 7 stars.”
“Tsk.”
Patrick clicked his tongue.
Sanson and Oliver are also 7-star knights.
But if the opponents are three, they are pushed back in numbers.
“Right now, the World Tree has unfolded a barrier and is blocking them. But she says she won't be able to last long.”
“Must hurry. Storm Spear!”
“Yes!”
BOOM!
With the sound of air bursting at the powerful wing flap, Storm Spear accelerated rapidly.
* * *
Gansu Province’s Tianshui County.
The Twin Dragon Sect settled there was currently in the middle of fighting a war.
CLANG!
“You villainous bastard!”
“Die!”
Twin Dragon Sect disciple On Hoe clashed swords with the enemy with all his might.
The opponent is a martial artist much older than him, but he was not pushed back in sword power.
It means he is an opponent he can win against enough.
“You brat!”
“Die!”
“How dare you!”
If it were one-on-one.
On Hoe was flustered by enemies flocking from all directions simultaneously and was pushed back.
As various weapons including swords, sabers, and spears attacked simultaneously, his hands and feet soon became dizzy.
“Die. You brat!”
Taking advantage of the gap created like that, another one thrust a spear toward On Hoe’s heart.
‘Do… Late.’
Just when On Hoe closed his eyes tight.
“Get lost!”
Simultaneously with a flashing flash exploding, the Unorthodox enemies attacking On Hoe were literally smashed.
“Aack!”
“My… My… arm….”
“Kuh… Grrrr….”
The name of the man who cleaned up five Unorthodox bastards in one blow is Oliver A.
Usually, he had a light and frivolous image, but at this moment….
“Run. On Hoe. Must get inside the barrier.”
“Yes? Yes.”
“Hurry!”
He was reliable beyond comparison.
On Hoe also never thought the day would come when he would have the feeling of trust toward this person.
The two ran fast, and the Unorthodox enemies chased behind them.
But before their pursuit could reach, On Hoe and Oliver entered inside a red translucent membrane. And the two entered inside the barrier by a hair’s breadth.
BOOM! CRAAASH! BOOM!
The attacks of the Unorthodox bastards chasing the two could not pierce this red barrier and exploded.
“Kuh….”
“Just what is this?”
Rather, the Unorthodox people who attacked were injured by the explosion bursting from there.
Toward the Unorthodox bastards bursting with rage, Oliver said.
“Ehehehe. Annoying, right? Can't cross over, right? Serves you right!”
“…….”
Rather than teasing the Unorthodox, care about the disciple beside you looking with a pitiful expression.
