Chapter 85
0085 : Dark Heaven Village
I felt that I had become somewhat familiar with the language of Goryeo after a year and a half. By that time, I had started to take on more responsibilities as a guardian for the Jeong Clan, and I could understand most vocabulary, provided it wasn’t too difficult. I was not only conversing with Lee Joo-hee but was also able to communicate substantially with other people around me.
It could be said that I had almost mastered the Goryeo language by then. Around that time, Jeong Cheol-wook began to assign me various missions as well.
One day, there was a task to escort a maternal uncle (外叔) of the Jeong Clan outside the capital. He was also a powerful noble, but looked at me, a young person from the Central Plains, with some disdain. However, his attitude changed in an instant when two Great Tigers appeared on the mountain path.
“Roar!”
“Wow!”
“It’s a tiger!”
The noble, along with the four guardian warriors accompanying him, was visibly terrified and their legs trembled. Although they had trained in martial arts, that did not mean they would become extraordinary masters overnight. A tiger of that size could easily represent a threat to even first-class experts, and having two of them meant a serious danger.
However, I immediately fixed my gaze on the tigers and suppressed them with my aura.
