My Alter Ego's Path to Greatness

Chapter 327

〈 Murim Alliance Meeting (1) 〉 As

Hugo was putting the finishing touches on his treatment, the conversation he had at the Zhuge family before coming here flashed through his mind.

“You mean the prince? However, the bloodline of the royal family was cut off after the blood death of the imperial palace...” “

To be precise, I should say he is the imperial grandson. Of course, it is true that those in the imperial palace at the time suffered disaster, but not all of them lost their lives. “There were quite a few people who were lucky enough to escape the scene.”

And one of them was the Crown Princess, who had just taken office as the Crown Prince at the time.

After the tragedy of that day, she was able to escape the imperial capital with her followers before the world fell into complete chaos, and immediately returned to her parents’ house and went into seclusion.

She was worried that she would be offended if she made a careless move in a situation where not only the emperor but also the crown prince, her father-in-law, had passed away.

As expected, soon, warlords and other forces from all over the world began to move and tribulation came to the world, and she held her breath as much as possible and focused on purifying her body.

Because at that time she was no longer single.

“okay. Then, the person born after that is....”

“That’s right. “He is the imperial grandson, Zhu Kang-yin, who is currently at the Shaolin Temple.”

Born in such difficult times, he grew up receiving extreme care from his mother and maternal family, but unfortunately, his physical condition was not very good from the time he was born.

At a time like this, there is a limit to how she can survive by having a famous member of her family and using elixirs, as she is in a difficult situation.

In the end, after much deliberation, he was entrusted to Shaolin Temple, where there were monks with high legal power.

Above all, if you are a Shaolin monk who is famous for his military power, you won’t have to worry about his safety.

“This is a fact that I came across because our family, which produced several imperial officials, also has ties to that area. And in the process, I was able to find out that his and Hye-mi’s symptoms were similar.”

“But isn’t that also top secret? “Can you say it like this?”

“It was like that until the beginning of the Tribulation... but it has been going on for over twenty years, and now it has long since become obsolete. “In the current situation, nothing will change even if a single enemy of the imperial family appears.”

Clearly, the current situation, where the survival of each power was at stake, was no longer at a level that could be resolved with justification alone.

In addition, the fact that among the warlords there were quite a few members of the royal family who already held the title of king also played a role.

‘Well, to them, it’s not worth worrying about a child who isn’t recognized as a true imperial descendant.’

The lack of force, the most important factor in supporting the cause, must have played a big role.

In the end, the only thing left for the grandson was his name.

“Of course, you shouldn’t openly talk about it anywhere, but as someone who is requesting treatment, shouldn’t you know this much?

“okay. Anyway, I get it. “Then I’ll go and take a look.”

“Hehehe, thank you. In fact, I don’t even know that family at all, and I haven’t felt at ease. “I will report on this separately when I return later.”

That was the end of the topic.

After arriving at the Shaolin Temple, Hugo was introduced by Zhuge Emperor and was able to immediately meet the patient face to face, and after more than a week of treatment, he was able to get to where he is now.

“Although your body is recovering, it is not yet stable, so avoid excessive movements as much as possible.”

“Thank you so much, God. Thanks to you, I can’t tell you how comfortable I am these days. “I’ve been sleeping well lately without any nightmares.”

“Hahaha, not much to say. “Then I’ll just go.”

“Ah, then this way...”

Hugo got up despite his dissuasion and left the room to be seen off by Joo Kang-in, stroking his chin to organize his thoughts.

While taking charge of his treatment, my mind became confused due to the new information I gained.

‘It’s definitely a faster response to treatment than Zhuge Hyemi. It took her about a month to fully move, but she was at the same level in just a week.’

No matter how skilled he was in this healing practice, there were limits.

If there is such a difference in the results, I have no choice but to think of another reason.

And that may be due to the preliminary measures taken by each force before the divine power treatment began.

Let alone elixirs, the Zhuge Dynasty’s medical skills were probably superior, but the conclusion is this...

‘This means that the teachings of a high priest to give him stability were more effective than the medical techniques that attempted to cure the disease. ‘

As expected, it seemed closer to some kind of divine disease rather than some kind of disease or constitution.

Although it could be alleviated through Heinrich’s divine power, the problem was that it was not 100% cured.

Unless the underlying cause is addressed, the condition will continue to worsen even if treated now.

‘Then should I at least receive a divine shower? ‘Is there a god worthy of this in this world?’

Although there are many religions, including Buddhism and Taoism, no one immediately came to mind that suited what they were going through.

The moment he, deeply troubled, returned to his residence at Jigaekdang.

“ah! Confucius, are you here? Thank you for your hard work today.”

At the entrance, Jegal Junghyuk, the second son of Sega’s representative family head, welcomed him warmly.

With a smile on his face.

Hugo responded with a gentle smile and secretly looked at him.

‘Why are you suddenly doing something you don’t do before?’

It was a proper business relationship that was neither that close nor particularly uncomfortable, and that was the distance between him and Zhuge Junghyuk.

“Oh, that surprised me too. It’s the first time I’ve seen my grandfather show such interest in someone else. Wasn’t he also a guy who looked younger than me? “At most, I think he’s a couple of years older than Soran.”

“Hehehe...”

When the grandson, who was serious about everything, agreed with the granddaughter’s charming question, Geomseong let out a low laugh and quietly stroked his beard.

How should I explain this?

Then, deciding that it would be helpful to just speak honestly, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Okay, just in case, it would be good for you to know too. “That guy from earlier is from another world.”

“...huh?”

“...yes?”

And as expected, Geomseong, who saw the two grandchildren’s expressions change violently at the answer, laughed happily.

Since the conversation had already started and the curtain was set, there was no need to worry about their words being heard by those around them.

“If you’re from another world... What about people who come from another dimension? “I heard you use amazing abilities.”

“...It’s definitely surprising. I think I understand why my grandfather was interested. They say they can quickly become stronger if the conditions are right, but their very existence can certainly be a variable.”

Of course, they were still young and had never seen people from another world before.

I only heard about its existence through stories.

I couldn’t help but be even more surprised because most of the content was about the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who had gained the greatest notoriety among those known to be from another world and who has now suddenly disappeared.

“and! I only heard about it, but did such people really exist? “I thought it was all a lie!”

“Soran, this is outside Sega. Please behave...”

Namgung So-ran, who kept jumping around with sparkling eyes despite her brother’s restraint, bit her lower lip with an excited expression.

‘A person from another world seen in a book! What amazing abilities does that person have? ‘I’d like to see it!’

Indeed, it was rewarding to be out in the wide world after all the fussing, begging, and being cute to my grandfather, and then lying down and making a fuss!

To be honest, I was feeling a bit regretful because I saw so many bad situations on the way, but then there was this exciting event waiting for me at the end!

Geomseong smiled happily at the children and continued speaking while slowly stroking his beard.

“It happened to be right on the border. It would have been difficult to recognize him if he had been nothing to see because he was below the first class, or if he had reached the height of transcendence and focused on hiding himself. “It is difficult to easily hide the gap between physical ability, internal power, momentum, and state at an ambiguous level like the peak.”

Of course, I was able to understand the subtle differences as well.

After speaking like that, Geomseong spread his shoulders triumphantly.

Looking forward to a respectful response from my grandchildren.

However, the response that came back was a little different from expectations.

“...Anyway, he looks younger than me. Are you saying he’s already at the same level as me?”

Emperor Namgung, who had been listening to the story with interest, muttered with a stern expression.

As the eldest son of the Daenamgung family, he will become the next head of the family.

Naturally, he was born with talent in his blood and has been training all kinds of elixirs as well as the strongest martial arts in the best environment for a long time since he was young.

So he had pride and confidence in his accomplishments, which he reached at the peak in his mid-20s.

Among the later exponents of the present era, there were only a very few who could be compared to this.

But someone who only looks like he’s in his early 20s is already at the same level as himself...!

“Eh, brother, are you stupid? They say they’re from another world! They’re from another world! That would be easy! I actually think it should be at least Hwakyung. “Maybe it’s a little disappointing?”

“What nonsense...! No matter how strange they use magic, there is a limit!”

“It’s not a hex! That’s definitely an ability! “If you don’t understand, is it all witchcraft?”

“ji? Did you say lose? “This is for my brother!”

“The head of the Daenangong family is so narrow-minded and

small-minded...” “I asked if this was the right thing to do, so I didn’t know anything about it...”

Seeing the brothers and sisters starting to argue among themselves, Geomseong quietly folded his wide shoulders and sighed softly. I exhaled.

I thought I said something pointless.

‘Still, the appearance of people from another world is not something that is easy to see, so these children should also be aware of this. First of all, it seems like the Zhuge family is on the fence, but there is a need to be somewhat cautious. ‘They are smart kids, so they will take care of themselves.’

They may seem immature now, but they are both called Kigi within Sega.

I wouldn’t do something stupid for no reason.

However, it was not long before he realized that his judgment had been hasty.

A few days later.

“Haa... Namgung Sojeo. “What are you doing today?”

“What’s going on? Today is the day!”

Hugo tried to ignore the jealous look in Master Zhuge’s eyes that he could feel in the back of his head, and sighed when he saw the Lady of Nangong Family who came to visit again today.

“It’s the date of the meeting!”

Time passed with so much noise and attention.

Finally, the meeting of the Murim Alliance without the Murim Alliance, now disbanded and only remaining in name, began.
