Trash of the Count's Family

“It will be difficult to set out on the boats tonight, young master-nim. The waves are too rough.”

As Sima Pyeong mentioned, the conditions in the sea were not suitable to set out on the boats right now.

The waves were extremely high and rough to the point that all of the boats at the dock had to be tightly tied down.

Cale got off the carriage and entered a small pavilion. He brushed the rain off his shoulders as he started speaking.

“Coalition leader-nim and Chief Advisor-nim. Why do you think that is the case?”

Sima Pyeong and Zhuge Mi Ryeo, who had quickly approached Cale, flinched.

Cale didn’t care and continued to speak.

“I received a report that the rain and wind started hitting this port village yesterday. I heard that all of the paths toward Hainan have been cut off.”

“Young master-nim.”

He handed Ron the robe around his shoulders. He then sat down on a nearby chair. Chief Eunuch Wi started heading toward the inside of the pavilion to bring out some tea.

“I also heard that other areas don’t have such rain and wind and that it is very peaceful. I looked into past records and saw that starting at some point, this port started having this sort of rain and wind every so often, with the weather being ever-changing. The sea and the weather becomes so terrible that Hainan ends up isolated.”

Tap. Tap.

Cale tapped on the table with his finger.

“What do you think is the answer?”

He looked toward Sima Pyeong and Zhuge Mi Ryeo.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo felt her mouth go dry. Young master Kim, whom she was seeing for the first time in a long while, felt slightly different from before.

He felt gentle before but he felt like a sharpened blade now.

‘The young master’s people’s demeanors feel sharp too.’

However, it wasn’t that they made her feel anxious.

There was definitely a slightly relaxed mood between them. However, it was the sort of relaxation felt from someone with a blade they could swing at any moment.

“I do not believe it is a natural phenomenon, young master-nim.”

She heard Sima Pyeong answer next to her.

Young master Kim looked toward Zhuge Mi Ryeo. She answered without any hesitation.

“I’m certain it is a formation, young master-nim.”

She then added on.

“I have never seen a regular formation affect the weather and the sea of a specific area. Using my abilities as reference, I would say that something like that is impossible.”

At least that was the case according to her logic.

“However, according to the records of the great formation experts of the past, they were said to create changes that encompassed mountains, fields, and the sea.”

She had considered them to be legends or folk tales, however, those stories could be talking about facts from a different era.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo started having those thoughts after seeing young master Kim’s course of actions.

“Is that the correct answer, young master-nim?”

She asked young master Kim Hae-il.

“I heard that you have a young Blood Demon candidate, one who is skilled in formations, with you, young master-nim. I believe that you would have an answer about this phenomenon. Are you satisfied with our answers?’

The corners of Cale’s lips curled up a bit.

“That is correct, Chief Advisor-nim. Half of this is based on formations.”

“…Then what is the remaining half?”

It was at that moment.

“I will explain!”

A black Dragon suddenly appeared from nowhere and puffed up his chubby belly.

“Hooooo. Is it perhaps magic, master?”

Sima Pyeong’s eyes sparkled as he asked Raon.

‘Master?’

Zhuge Mi Ryeo’s eyes became flustered.

‘He’s created a master-disciple relationship with a Dragon?’

Raon started talking as she subconsciously bit down on her lips.

“No. This is not magic. It is a formation. However, the ingredients are not from this world.”

“What do you mean, master……?”

Cale saw Sima Pyeong’s reaction and explained.

“To keep it simple, they used ingredients they received from other Dragons like Raon over here to create this formation. They also received the help of those Dragons when they created the formation, making it in a way they could activate it like a mechanical device.”

“…….”
