Emperor Of Steel

Chapter 367: The Zegal Clan 4

Chapter 367: The Zegal Clan 4

Hwang Bo clan had a secret room located at the center.

It was a private place for Hwang Bo-sung to use his fists or work, and only his trusted men could enter that place.

In that place, Hwang Bo-kwang had met with a VIP a while ago.

"My. Cuties. Did. They. Do. Well?"

At the question of Arsene, Hwang Bo-kwang shook his face with a dark expression.

"That… unfortunately, failed."

"What? Was. It a. fail?"

"Yes, it was said that the 3 undead who followed the 3rd crown prince was found in a place, completely destroyed."

"Kul. I will. Go. And. See!"

Arsene seemed to be in shock. His eyes in his skull were shinning.

Hwang Bo-sung spoke his assumption, "Maybe the nearby Zegal clan assisted them."

Death Knight and Lich made by Arsene couldn’t be killed by brute force, so it would be impossible for the Zegal clan and the other clans of Moorim.

There were culminations who could be compared to Zegal Hui, and they were also making a Puppet.

‘There is one thing that I don’t understand.’

The question was how the groups of the 3rd crown prince even know that there was an assassination attempt on the prince and came to assist so quickly?

Getting there in time to help should have been very difficult for the men even if the request was sent immediately.

"So. Those. Men. Where. Are. They. Now? You. Know?"

"They are aid to be under the protection of Zegal clan."

It would be a huge deal if the 3rd crown prince went back to the royal palace.

If the Emperor who cared for the 3rd prince found out, he would jump out in anger, and the others would lose the chance to kill him in the future.

That was why Hwang Bo-kwang wanted to kill Jo Won-rak, who came out of the palace.

"Arsene, please lend me some power."

"Kul. You take. Three. Of. My cuties. And now. Want. To. Borrow. More?"

At the unexpected reaction of Arsene, he spoke out, "If you can help me out once more, I will hand over the bodies of 7 culminations later."

The corpse of culmination was the best material needed for making a Death Knight.

Even if they hadn’t reached their peak, they could make an intermediate Death knight.

Arsene, who briefly contemplated on the proposal, decided to lend the rest of the 30 that he had brought over to the southern continent.

"Good. However. Keep. In mind. That. This. Will. Be the. Last."

"I will remember this."

When Arsene disappeared to bring in the Death Knight and the Lich, Hwang Bo-kwang yelled, "Gwan-chang!"

"You called, Head!?"

A thundering wave struck in front of Hwang Bo-kwang,

Gwan-chang was particularly good at hiding and infiltrating as a master of the ‘Shadow Organization’, a warrior organization that Hwang Bo-kwang secretly founded.

"What is the status on collecting information about the Zegal clan?"

"Most of our men are trying, but it isn’t getting any easier because the men and the formation around the clan is too great to infiltrate."

There was another thing the Zegal clan was famous for other than their excellent strategy and puppets. It was their base formations.

The fame created by the Zegal Clan was strong.

Among them, it was rumored that the Daecheon soul circle around the clan was stronger than placing Shaolin temples together.

"Then, should we wait for them to come out?"

Waiting for them would take a lot of time.

If they didn’t come out by the time the Urim reinforcements arrived, their plan of assassinating the prince would have to be put down.

If the Urim came, they were monsters that he couldn’t deal with.

The monster, who reached two levels higher than the peak, the one referred to as the guardian of the Crown Prince and the Royal family.

"Unless Mr. Arsene goes out himself, that man cannot be defeated."

However, Arsene was a very busy person, and it didn’t seem nice to depend on him for too many things.

If he continued to ask for help, he would end up being a subordinate and not an ally of equal standing. That too for the monster of immortality and power of darkness.

"Chief, how about we ask for a favor from Earner?"

"Huh? To that bastard?"

Hwang Bo-kwang was flustered.

Earner ‘The sage of ghost valley’.

His birthplace and name were unknown. The man called himself Earner, saying that he was progressing the ‘Guigumen’ a skill that was disappearing.

He had skillful speech and excellent tactical skills, and with his outstanding abilities, he did more evil than good.

There were times when he made clans fight amongst themselves for the sake of entertainment, and there were times when he cut the veins using tactics.

And 4 years ago, he pretended to be God and threatened the royal family about spreading drought and pest to the whole nation if he wasn’t given 100,000 gold.

At first, the Emperor thought of it as a joke.

However, the drought really broke out in the south, and the Emperor, who was enraged, tried to get hold of the man by using the Masters of Eorim but failed.

The newly committed Earner continued to mess around with the government and began to walk through the masses of the capital.

"We know where he is, so…"

"But he is a wanted sinner!"

He was in contact with him, but he decided to stay away from the man till the eyes of the royal family were looking for him.

Until his nephew, Jo Won-gyun became the next emperor, he wanted nothing bad to come in his way and stop the making.

"But right now, there is no one other than that Earner who can break the circle of Zegal Clan in Kang Ho. What do you want to do?" Asked Gwan-chang.

"Kuk…!"

At the end of the words, Hwang Bo-kwang bit his lip and held on to his head, moving from side to side.

Deciding on something, he turned.

"I the chief will meet and negotiate with him in person. This should never be revealed to the world."

"Understood."

When the man disappeared from the room, Hwang Bo-kwang bumped his fists.

"Even if it means death, I have no option but to meet him."

He didn’t want to drag Jo Won-rak’s life for long and decided to not let another opportunity get away from his hand.

If there is any possible method, I might be able to get a steady supply in the future.’</p><p>A memory suddenly passed Luke’s brain while he thinking.</p><p>When he had met Erwin for the first time, he remembered what she had done in the fairy village called Zenith.</p><p>At that time, Erwin made use of Reina’s hair and a few other materials to create a green jewel of earthly energy.</p><p>The jewel revived the farmland of the village where every form of life had been exhausted and revived the withered crops.</p><p>As a result, the fairies in Zenith village were able to continue their daily life without moving away from the village.</p><p>‘Yeah, that might make it…!’</p><p>Luke held onto Reina’s locket.</p><p>The problem was that he wasn’t sure how to make that green jewel.</p><p>And it could be possible if he could ask Erwin.</p><p>‘And the other problem is she might be alive or dead.’</p><p>Just before escaping from the barrier, Erwin was injured and was in a state of dying.</p><p>Immediately after breaking the barrier, Luke got dragged into the subspace with Hwang Bo-sung, so he didn’t know if she was alive or dead.</p><p>If she was dead, he had to give up making the green jewel.</p><p>‘Let’s just try once.’</p><p>Luke decided to go to Zegal Moon right away and make a puppet and ask for the leftover Iron Core.</p><p>"Where do you want to use them?"</p><p>"There is one way to revive the Iron Core."</p><p>Hearing Luke’s words, Zegal Moon immediately responded to his request.</p><p>In the first place he just wanted to cooperate with Luke’s thoughts, so he wasn’t feeling so sorry to use the Iron Core.</p><p>Luke, who had been handed the Iron Core, returned to the room and took out some materials and other stuff from his subspace bracelet.</p><p>And then began to make something huge.</p><p>"Master, what is that?"</p><p>Hwang Bo-sung, who had come back from the training at the Zegal clan’s field, was puzzled by Luke’s gathered lattice-shaped artifact.</p><p>"This is called ‘Antenna’."</p><p>"Antenna?"</p><p>"Yeah, it is an artifact that sends a signal or receives waves from the magical communication stations which are ten or even a hundred times away."</p><p>The magic communication stations can deliver videos or voices to a greater distance than the magic teleport, but the distance was limited.</p><p>Because of that, communication was impossible between two continents at once.</p><p>Which was why merchants used trade lines or tamed sea birds like the Albatross to cross the ocean even if it was time consuming.</p><p>However, Luke had something to ask Erwin and began to use the ancient magic of the Mado times.</p><p>The artifacts which the ancient elves named as Antenna was acquired in Saymon’s days and were a relay artifact that allowed long-range magical communications.</p><p>The principle of the artifact was surprisingly simple.</p><p>Just as one could shoot a bow from a high place to make the arrow fly longer, it was a method of sending magical waves for communication through the air using the Antena and sending it to the ground.</p><p>There was a reason why Luke hadn’t used the artifact till then.</p><p>At his first time of discovery, he had no use for such long-distance magical communications, and there were needs for material like radium, which allowed excellent mana conductivity.</p><p>The radium alloy was so rare that Luke decided to put the artifact aside and then use the other artifacts.</p><p>"The Iron Core had properties that were similar to radium alloy. So, I can process it with the Antenna."</p><p>At the words of Luke, Hwang Bo-sung nodded and asked.</p><p>"To make communication with Lordship?"</p><p>Luke never told his retainers that he was heading over to the Melvin Valley.</p><p>However, because of the traps with the fairies, they suddenly disappeared and they had a chance to turn frantic.</p><p>"Yeah, they might be in a mess right now. I need to contact with the lordship, but there is someone who needs to be contacted first." Said Luke.</p><p>"Someone to contact first?"</p><p>Hwang Bo-sung, who thought, smiled and then bumped his fist.</p><p>"I know. The pope. Isn’t it? I heard it from Sir Philip. That both of you are in a getting-married state."</p><p>"Well, it is true that I should contact Reina, but not her."</p><p>At the response to Luke, Hwang Bo-sung seemed confused.</p><p>"Master, are you cheating on </p><p>"…"</p><p>"There were always words about Hero’s prurience, but that is a big deal. If Arch Duke Gregory or Viscount Belik know about this, they’ll come with a sword right away."</p><p>Luke, who knew that Hwang Bo-sung had misunderstood him, just sighed after a long time.</p><p>"It isn’t like that. You’ll see the reason."</p><p>"That so? Anyway, you will be made to pay if you leave her. Remember, Master."</p><p>Hwang Bo-sung, who gave his own advice, went to the washroom saying he had to wash his body.</p><p>Luke, shook his head at the absurd words of Hwang Bo-sung and continued to get back to work.</p><h3>Comment (<span>0</span>)</h3><h3>Chapter 376: Iron Core 1
