The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts

chapter 8



“Grand Duke. I brought you a meal.”

“I’ll put the dishes away later, and I’m going to sleep from now on. You don’t have to come anymore today.”

“All right.”

Arin looked around my room for a while, then nodded and went outside.

“then…”

no one will come I decided to eat all the poison.

To be honest, I wanted to eat everything yesterday, but I only ate Hanyangcho because I was afraid that I would die if I ate it with the 1-star inner-hearted method. But since it’s 2 stars, I thought it would take some effort to absorb it, but I wouldn’t die.

Basasak

I powdered green onion and mukja leaves and sprinkled them on top of the chilein soup Arin brought.

“This sounds really crazy, aren’t you not able to open your eyes today?”

Since all of the poison was turned into powder, the ratio between poison and soup became half and half. Poisonous soup that was not thick enough to be thick was completed.

A real poison sprang with two sheets of poison in it…

I picked up a spoon with trembling hands and swallowed it.

“Gagging!”

Yeokrok green onion was damn spicy, and mukjak leaves tasted sweet. It was strange that it could taste sweet even though it was spicy.

[You have ingested poison (reverse green wave).]

[The Mandokja telegraph machine absorbs the poison (reverse green wave).]

[The performance of Mandokja Telegraph has risen.]

[Extension poison is released.]

[You can use Extended Reading from now on.]

[You have ingested poison.]

[Mandokja telegraph machine absorbs poison (Mukjak leaf).]

[Confession is opened.]

[You can use the confession agent from now on.]

[The Killing Honyeon(殺魂煙) has been opened.]

[From now on, you can use the Soul Honyeon.]

As I ate two poisonous plants together, the message window was going up so fast that it was hard to see.

It looks like the docks are open, but that’s not the point right now. If you do not want to fall behind, you must quickly operate the internal air mind method.

.

The soup was bitterly spicy and sweet, but I swallowed it.

f*cked. It’s more toxic than you think.

My head went blank as if I had taken a sleeping pill, and I began to feel pain in my stomach as if being stabbed with a needle.

I sat down on the floor and immediately operated the Mandokja Telegraph. If it was to increase internal energy during Hanyangcho, now we have to absorb poisonous plants to survive.

The miasma began to stir my body like a rolling wave. In order to control the massive miasma, all the energy in the danteon was mobilized to stop the miasma’s movement.

It seemed that one hurdle had been overcome. Now, I have to use these venoms with my energy and make them my own.

He sighed inwardly and started operating the Mandokja Telegraph. I continued to feel terrible pain and strange hallucinations, but I didn’t stop the inner core method.

**

[Mandokja Telegraph] Reached 3 stars.]

It’s been a while since I saw the message of achieving 2 stars, I reached 3 stars in one day.

“ha…”

I let go of my cross-legged posture and lay down on my back.

“It was crazy. I almost died…”

No matter how toxic the poison was, eating a large amount at once was no different from attempting suicide.

If I ate like this when I was 1 star, I would have really died.

He shook his head and tidied up his surroundings. Outside the window, the sun had already set and a thin moon was floating in the mid-sky.

“I don’t think I was using the Internal Conflict Act, but I think we waged a war.”

Feeling proud of their efforts and achievements, they turned on the Sichuan Dangga characteristic.

I was thinking of looking at the new poison.

It went straight into the Sichuan Dangga-dog category. Originally, only paralyzed poison could be used, but now the usable poison has increased to four.

I read the poison under the paralytic poison.

[extension poison] (triggering)

It is a poison that directly affects the organs of the body. As the meaning of kite is put into one organ, the poison spreads to all organs in series. If you are poisoned, you will feel the pain of hundreds of needles poking your organs.

The feeling of hundreds of needles piercing the stomach, I’ve experienced it before. It was f*cking painful.

It was hard to endure the confusion of the mukjakyeop, but the pain of the yeokrokpa was really unbearable.

“Well, it’s a confession.”

[Confession] (confusion)

It is a drug that breaks down other people’s mental walls, making it easier for them to tell the truth. It gradually lowers the willpower and vitality of those who take it, making them lethargic. Stress makes you more likely to confess.

“This is the confession as I know it. It appears in dramas and movies.”

The explanation is almost similar to the confessional in reality, but the difference is that the more you use it, the stronger the effect is because it is made with internal energy and has achievements.

“The last one is a marriage ceremony.”

[Soul Hon Yeon] (Confusion)

It creates smoke that captivates people. A person who has inhaled smoke cannot distinguish between an enemy and an ally. He transforms everyone around him into the one he fears the most.

“It seems that killing marriage is more dangerous than prolonged poison…”

When I read the description of the death marriage, it seemed that it would exert a tremendous effect in war rather than individual fights.

I can get a rough idea even after reading the description, but it seemed like I could control the power with a test.

I got up off the floor and climbed onto the bed. My body started to feel languid in the softness of the luxurious bed that I felt for the first time in a while.

Because I was mentally and physically tired, I think I will have to sleep for now and give them a test tomorrow.

“Phew… Let’s go to sleep.”

**

“Princess, it’s time to wake up.

As if the morning had already dawned, Arin brought water to wash her face.

“It looks like you had a good rest yesterday.”

“You slept on.”

Arin nodded and went out to fetch a meal.

My body was so light that there was nothing wrong with it. The mind, body, and internal energy are perfectly in perfect condition.

After a while, after eating the soup Arin brought, Arin prepared to go to the gymnasium as if it were natural for him.

“scale.”

“yes.”

I called Arin, who was taking care of things for training.

“It’s the weekend.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Then where do the knights train?”

“Leave the 1st Gymnasium and usually go to the 2nd or 3rd Gymnasium to practice.”

“Why aren’t you going to the 1st Gymnasium?”

“Because training can suddenly be caught. Weekends are not unconditional holidays for knights.”

Then there is no need to go to the 1st Gymnasium, and I think I will have to choose between 2nd and 3rd.

“Are there many people in the 2nd gymnasium right now?”

“Yes. The Knights of the Marquis of Rocks strive to improve their skills, so there are many Knights who train even on weekends.”

“What about number 3?”

“Not as much as the second, but there will be many.”

“Then let’s go to the 3rd gymnasium today.”

“Why are you suddenly asking to go to number 3?”

Arin tilted his head as if he was puzzled by my words, then asked me a question.

“Huh? I just want to see some articles.”

“Aren’t you frightened by what you did to the knights in the past?”

“Ugh.”

As expected, Arin is quick-witted, unlike his expression.

“Fear? I don’t grow that kind of thing.”

He shouted proudly, sticking out his chest. I was scared like Arin said in the past, but not at all now.

Arin, as if trying to figure out my intentions, didn’t stop his hands from packing things even though he was deep in thought.

“Then let’s go to the third gymnasium.”

“okay.”

As Arin said, many knights were training in the 3rd gymnasium even though it was morning.

“hmm…”

When I arrived there, the gazes of the resting knights turned to me. They started talking among themselves, as if they didn’t know who I was.

“They don’t recognize Confucius.”

“So I’ve changed a little bit.”

“Not a little bit. You’ve become a completely different person.”

“is it?”

I became a completely different person whether it was external or internal to the extent that Arin, whom I saw every day, acknowledged.

“Wow, that girl is pretty.”

“That’s so pretty, but where have I seen that girl?”

“That lady’s butler. Was it Arin?”

Perhaps thanks to my inner strength, my ears were picking up all the voices of the knights talking from afar.

“Wait a minute, that man…”

“omg!”

“Then, is that a crazy grand duke?”

“Nonsense!”

“It was a pig that shuddered when I saw it a month ago!”

“What kind of magic did the walking flesh become like that!”

They are talking quietly among themselves, but thanks to their internal energy, all of their conversations can be heard.

The knights looked at me with wide eyes in amazement at my appearance. I replied to their surprise with an evil smile.

“It’s good because there are many test subjects.”

clinical trial

Not only the resting knights, but all the knights in the gymnasium followed my movements. I sat down in an empty seat in the middle, enjoying the gaze.

“Everyone is only looking at the Archduke.”

“I know.”

[Creator’s Eye is activated.]

[Like: -90 (Hate)]

[Likeability: -92 (killer impulse) ]

[Likeability: -91 (Injury Impulse) ]

[Like: -87 (Hate) ]

Unlike the servants, the liking of the knights did not change at all. Most, no, all the knights here hate me terribly.

I wouldn’t have touched all these articles even if Yuren was a b*tch, but it’s a bit strange that everyone hates me.

“scale.”

“yes.”

“I think all the knights here hate me?”

“Doesn’t the Archduke know better why?”

“I know. But I wouldn’t have touched all the articles.”

“Yes.”

Arin gently closed his eyes and opened them.

“Knights have a strong sense of camaraderie. If a colleague has been harmed, they will seek revenge even at the cost of their own lives. Trust is a word that exists only for knights.”

I immediately understood what Arin wanted to say.

“Because of the knights who were beaten by the archduke, even the other knights hate the archduke. Besides, the archduke, who harasses people with his natural status without any ability or effort, must be a scumbag that knights don’t want to deal with.”

“Ugh…”

It wasn’t something I did, but hearing that sound made me feel frustrated as if a stone had been lifted up in my chest.

I don’t know when the shadow of the crazy Yuren will disappear.

“Well, it’s only in the past tense. The current Archduke has become a completely different person. I think others will recognize it little by little.”

Unlike usual, Arin’s voice contained a little worry and consideration.

“That would be nice.”

I am a human being too, but I cannot live long if I receive only hateful glances and malice.

“But don’t you practice?”

“I told you to think about learning swordsmanship. That’s why I came to see how the knights train.”

“Ah! I see. Good idea.”

Arin nodded, probably happy that I was interested in the article.

I’m sorry, but I had no intention of becoming a knight. Today, I’m here to test some skills.

I toured the gymnasium. The knights seemed to be looking at me while they were training.

It doesn’t come close

Maybe because I was nearby, the knights didn’t chatter like before. He didn’t even come close to me and was training just by looking at me.

I didn’t even know that I was anxious because I didn’t know when I would start a fight.

“That’s the basic type.”

“Basic type?”

Arin pointed at the knight who was cutting the air in the corner.

“Yes. It’s the basic swordsmanship of the Rox family. It looks like you’re a novice knight.”

“A trainee knight.”

Come to think of it, Yuren said that knights are hard to touch, so he only picked and touched training knights. He was truly a man who was strong and weak.

“He’s clearly learned the basics. His shape is almost perfect. He looks better than most knights. Except for his excessive strength.”

At Arin’s words, I looked at the training knight who said he was doing basic swordsmanship. When I looked closely, his movements seemed to be in slow motion.

The slow motion seems to be the power of internal energy.

“That person will soon become a knight.”

“okay?”

“Yes. I already have enough skills.”

Hearing Arin’s praise, I decided to take a look at him.

[Creator’s Eye is activated.]

[Name: Cryde]

[Attribute: Berserker, Strength lv1]

[Likeability: -30 (Unlike) ]

“100 million!”

I kept rubbing my eyes because I thought something was wrong with my eyes. But my eyes weren’t wrong.

[Attribute: Berserker] was always visible to me.

I don’t know why he is here

Cryde, that guy is an important character in my novel. I didn’t set up before he met the main character, but it’s really strange that he was in a place like this.

“Hmm…”

I wanted to talk to Cryde right now, but he doesn’t like me. If I approached it rashly, it would only increase my vigilance, so I endured it for now.

I wasn’t here to see him today, and since I knew he was in The Rocks, I figured I’d have a chance before he left.

So let’s start with the guy who called me flesh.

I already remembered who he was. It was a size that seemed to be 190 cm tall, warming up in the middle while watching.
