Episode 823
“You saw the soul stone?”
Aris snorted while looking at Labawin.
“What do you see? “He only has one eye.”
“This is fake!”
Lavawin took off his fake eye patch and frowned.
“Force me to do something I don’t want to do!”
“But it’s true that you can’t see it.”
Aris tilted her chin, saying that she couldn’t see clearly because her eyes were covered with an eyepatch.
“Actually…”
Labawin lifted his eyepatch and licked his lips.
“I made a hole the size of a rice ball…”
He lowered his eyes as if he was embarrassed to say that he had made a hole in his eye patch.
“I heard there is no one who sticks to the concept properly.”
Aris sighed and tapped the letter.
“Anyway, you saw it right, right? “If you see that the old man sent a letter with the same content twice, it’s usually not important.”
She lowered her eyebrows, asking if she was really sure.
“I know. This is a letter sent directly from the head of the family, so of course it is important. But I definitely saw it.”
Labawin nodded with serious eyes.
“The sun and the moon are the closest to each other and they’re fucking each other… I don’t know. Anyway, where did you see the soul stone?”
“Not long after we went out to sea, you made a fuss about catching a whale with a fishing rod, right?”
He lowered his hand and asked if he remembered.
“I remember. “You couldn’t catch a whale, you only caught a white blood bridge.”
Aris grinned, saying she remembered everything.
“yes. “It was yours to fight, but we were to fight.”
Labawin furrowed his eyebrows, asking if he didn’t remember going into the ship right away because it was annoying.
“It was difficult back then…”
“There were too many.”
A bald middle-aged man and a woman with an eye patch also shook their heads as if they remembered that day.
“It’s not flying? “Didn’t I catch them all?”
Even though Aris had no memory, she straightened her back proudly.
“Whoa, what happened?”
Lavawin let out a long sigh and raised his gaze.
“That was when I saw the soul stone.”
He pointed to the sun in the sky and narrowed his eyes.
“The sun and moon were close together, as if they were each other’s shadows, and a strange light shimmered around them. “The moment the sun and moon passed each other like a separated man and woman, a rainbow of light flashed from the stone I was stepping on.”
Labawin put his hands together, saying it was an unforgettable memory.
“you idiot! “If you saw something like that, you should have picked it up right away!”
Aris said she was frustrated and pounded her chest.
“I heard we were fighting because of you!”
Lavawin waved his hand widely as if he was swinging his sword.
“The reason I saw that was because I was beaten by an apostle and left alone!”
He ground his teeth as if the anger of the time had come back to life.
“So do you remember the location?”
Aris asked for the location of the soul stone, not caring about Labawin’s anger.
“Ugh, I remember. Because it is a rocky island a little bit away from Seville Island. But…”
Lavawin rolled his eyes slightly.
“It’s a rocky island, so there are a lot of rocks. It’s been so long for me too…”
“You just have to take the time to find it.”
Aris tilted her head as if asking what was the problem.
“Ji said he wasn’t looking for it…”
Labawin turned his head and chewed his lip.
“What did you say?”
“Oh, no!”
He raised his shoulders and shouted to himself.
“I guess I should send a reply first, right?”
“That’s right.”
Lavawin nodded.
“But why are you still?”
“yes? Me?”
“Then who will do it!”
Aris threw the crumpled letter out of her arms.
“Ugh…”
Labawin took the letter, chewed his lips, and entered the captain’s cabin.
“Kids these days have to speak to be understood… hmm?”
It was when Aris shook her head. A letter with Sieghardt’s symbol on it fell on her head.
“what? Did you send it again in the meantime? “What on earth is going on?”
Aris also looked at the letter with sunken eyes, as if he sensed that this was not an ordinary incident.
“I’m sending Raon to search for the soul stone together?”
She immediately erased her serious gaze and smiled excitedly.
“Then I guess we should go pick up our nephew?”
* * *
Raon placed his hand on the sheath of the Jecheon Sword.
Slurp!
The Jecheon Sword was pulled out of its own accord and rose into the air.
‘I feel better now.’
Previously, the achievement of Igieo sword was so weak that a sharp friction sound was heard when the sword was drawn, but now it is possible to control it as finely as when pulling it by hand.
‘All of this…’
Raon looked down at his chest and clenched his fists.
‘Thanks to the ring of fire.’
Thanks to the synergistic effect of the Ring of Fire, the power and level of swordsmanship of Manhwagong increased, and even the achievement of the Igigeo Sword quickly increased.
It feels like the seal that oppressed me has been lifted. I gained confidence that I could do anything.
‘Is this why you said it was an important time?’
Glenn seemed to have everything figured out about me and gave me advice to use my time efficiently.
As he said, the level of martial arts was rising so quickly that it was a waste of time.
If things continued like this, it seemed like I could reach transcendence within a few years without any major events or enlightenment.
‘Let’s go further.’
Raon unfolded the Gwanga Sword with Jecheon Sword floating in the air.
The swordsmanship of the senses broke free from the restraints of human hands and cut through the sky with extreme freedom.
‘Was the swordsman who created the Gwanga Sword able to use Igigeo Swordsmanship?’
When I unfolded the Gwanga Sword using Igigeeo Swordsmanship, the slightly awkward part became as smooth as silk.
It seems that the founder of Gwanga Sword created the sword technique with Igieo Sword in mind.
“Ha…”
Martha let out a sigh as she looked at the Jecheon Sword floating in the air.
“When did it become so natural?”
She shook her head, saying it was absurd.
“It’s definitely changed.”
Buren hung his chin heavily.
“Previously, the sword was filled with only power, but now the swordsmanship is starting to become more sophisticated.”
He said that Raon’s talent was scary and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“If that’s the case, then maybe you can make Igieogeom’s book of martial arts that we can also use?”
Martha licked her lips as if she was looking forward to it.
“There is a possibility. Because that guy is the guy who does it if he can do it.”
Buren smiled softly as he watched Raon focusing on his sword.
“A flying sword…”
Runaan showed a hazy look in his eyes as he looked at the sharp flying sword.
“I said that doesn’t work.”
Marta looked at Runaan and shook her head.
“Napping while riding a sword is not even possible for the head of the family!”
She snorted, waking up from her dream.
“I can do it.”
Runaan narrowed her eyes, saying she could move even in her dreams.
“You said it couldn’t be done?”
“Okay.”
As Marta and Runaan were fighting with their foreheads pressed together, the door to the training hall opened and Roen came in.
“Roen?”
When Raon turned his head, the Jecheon sword gently descended and entered the scabbard.
“Hehehe.”
Roen smiled kindly as he looked at Jecheon Sword, which was moving alone.
“It’s a neat Iggyeo sword. “I don’t think I can compete with you anymore.”
He nodded loudly, as if he was sincerely impressed.
“There is still a long way to go.”
Raon smiled and shook his head.
-Then there is still a long way to go!
Lars agreed and spread his hands.
-You are still just a kid! There’s a lot left!
The guy wrinkled his nose and told me not to be satisfied.
‘I know.’
Raon chuckled and went down the stage to stand in front of Roen.
“Please come here, what’s going on?”
“The matriarch has called the great lord.”
Roen bowed his head, saying it was important.
“Important…”
The only important thing now is the soul stone that will save Sia. It seemed like I had made contact with Aris.
“Then… for a moment…”
“Don’t worry, just come back.”
When Raon was about to give autonomous training instructions to the Gwangpungdae, Rimer, who was lying under the platform, waved his hand.
“I’ll take care of it.”
After telling Rimmer to leave it to him, he let out a long yawn like a sloth.
“hmm.”
Normally, I would not have trusted Rimmer and left him to the leaders, but I nodded because I saw firsthand what kind of feelings he had.
“Then please do me a favor.”
“Yes, leave it to me.”
Raon bowed his head to Rimmer and followed Roen out of the training hall.
“Hmm.”
Rimmer walked up to the podium at a slow pace after Raon left the training hall.
“Now, pay attention.”
At his gesture, the Gwangpungdae stopped practicing and gathered in front of the podium.
“Well, today…”
“Today’s regular training is a checkup.”
Buren thought that Rimmer had no idea what kind of training he was going to do, and immediately informed him of the progress.
“okay. “The examination training is good, but I have something to say today.”
Rimer shrugged his shoulders while looking at the windbreaker.
“That’s right. “I’m going to play again.”
Marta frowned, saying she could see everything inside.
“Is it a nap?”
Runaan’s eyes sparkled as if she was looking forward to it.
“Unfortunately, it’s not nap time.”
Rimmer smiled softly and shook his head.
“Today I’m going to talk about Gwangpungdae.”
He made eye contact with the Gwangpungdae prosecutors one by one and touched the back of their necks.
“All of you, including me, may not show it on the outside, but I’m sure you hold gratitude for Raon in your hearts.”
Rimmer’s eyes sparkled quietly as if they contained the dawn.
“So everyone knows. “There are circumstances that I cannot tell Raon about.”
He smiled softly, asking if he knew everything.
“Uhm….”
“That’s right.”
Gwangpungdae was aware of this, but nodded slightly as if he couldn’t ask in haste.
“He doesn’t say it, but Raon was always looking at one thing. That may be the reason why I train day and night.”
Rimmer looked down at the platform where Raon had been training just a moment ago and took a quick bite.
“In the meantime, Raon created martial arts for you, helped you train, and even saved your life. “I also received a lot of help from that guy.”
He nodded, remembering the artificial danjeon he received from Raon.
“Raon is having a hard time. “Now is the time to repay that debt.”
Rimmer straightened his back while holding the sword sheath.
“I know that well, but how?”
Marta looked at Rimmer and chewed her lip.
“It’s simple.”
Rimmer lightly raised his hand.
“Be strong and climb to higher places.”
His eyes sparkled with a colder light than anyone else’s sword.
“height?”
“As everyone knows, the Gwangpungdae is strong. “Not only the leader, but also the members of the group will become leaders or assistant leaders if they go to another corps or college.”
Rimmer nodded, saying that the Gwangpungdae had become the strongest military force except for warfare.
“We cannot stay in this storm zone forever. “It will be divided, either voluntarily or by others, so until then, grow as much as possible and become the head of another group or group.”
“Um, well, that’s…”
Crane quivered his lips as if he had a bad idea.
“It’s not a rebellion or a revolution.”
Rimmer shook his head lightly.
“The reason Raon can’t tell us about the situation is to prevent harm to us or the family. “We need to build a high foundation and military force so that even if he leaves alone, we can help him.”
He pounded his chest with his fist while telling everyone in the Gwangpungdae to become the leader of the armed forces.
“You can do it, right?”
“….”
Gwangpungdae did not answer, but nodded with passionate eyes.
“Uh, there…”
Dorian approached the podium and held out a trembling hand.
“Can’t we just break up?”
“We might not break up. But as the war intensifies and we become short on personnel, we will eventually be divided.”
Rimmer shook his head, saying that the current Storm Troopers had become too strong.
“I know what you mean. “I know it’s true.”
Martha let out a long sigh.
“However, it is surprising to hear such words come from the mouth of the commander of the unit. “Have you got a fatal disease?”
She looked at Rimmer with worry in her black pearl-like eyes.
“huh. “It’s strange…”
Runan bit his lip as if he sensed that Rimmer was strange.
“I’m an elf? “Even if I get deathly ill, I will live longer than you.”
Rimmer shook his head, telling him not to worry.
“Thank you for your concern. Marta, Runan. After all, there are only you.”
“What are you worried about?”
Marta snorted, saying absolutely not.
“As I said, there is no need to risk your lives to thank Raon. Always put yourself first.”
Rimmer said in the end to think about himself and waved his hand.
He smiled softly and pursed his lips so that no one could hear.
“Because one person is enough.”
* * *
“A reply has been received from Aris.”
As soon as Glenn saw Raon, he took out a crumpled letter that seemed to have been buried in a corner somewhere.
I couldn’t believe that this was the letter I had just received.
“It is said that he was trapped in a dungeon of unknown origin until now.”
“thank god.”
Raon let out a soft sigh. I was worried that something had happened to Aris, but I felt relieved when she said she was stuck.
“And…”
Glenn opened Aris’ letter and took a deep breath.
“They say they saw the soul stone.”
“yes?”
Raon lifted his chin and widened his eyes.
“Soul stone?”
As I was thinking about where to start my search, I never imagined that people would say that I had seen a soul stone.
He was so embarrassed that he felt like he could hear his own heartbeat.
“It was a very long time ago, but it is said that Lavawin saw it.”
Glenn shook his head, saying there seemed to be no guarantee that he would find it even if he went.
“Still…”
“Yes. “I have to go.”
Raon nodded resolutely.
‘I have to do something.’
Sylvia, Edgar, and Glenn’s complexions were getting darker day by day.
We must find the soul stone for the three of us, and most of all, for Sia.
‘Labawin is trustworthy.’
If Aris had seen it, he might not have believed it, but since Lavawin said it, it was highly trustworthy.
“Then I will give you a mission to Gwangpungdae.”
Glenn lowered his hand with a serious look in his eyes.
“Gwangpungdae joins Cheongpung to find the soul stone and return.”
As he handed down his duties as the head of the family, he had grandfatherly affection in his eyes.
“I will follow your orders.”
Raon lowered his head with his hand on his chest.
“So when do you plan to leave?”
“I have to prepare, so I’m planning to leave early tomorrow morning.”
“okay. “Please be careful.”
Glenn’s voice trembled very faintly as he delivered Aris’ letter.
“yes.”
Raon bowed deeply to Glenn and left the throne room.
“It’s Aris and Raon…”
Roen smiled softly and nodded.
“I don’t think I’ll lose to anyone.”
He smiled calmly, saying he thought good news would come.
“Because both Raon and Aris captured the light dragon and came back when they were weaker than they are now.”
Glenn said he was looking forward to it, but he couldn’t erase the worried look in his eyes.
* * *
Raon returned to training hall 5 to talk about the mission.
I went up to the stage and looked at everyone, but strangely enough, the momentum was different from before.
‘what?’
The prosecutors were always training hard, but now they felt desperate, as if their lives were at stake.
It felt like I was seeing Rimmer, whom I had seen at the training center in Gaju not long ago.
“Hmm…”
Raon swallowed dry saliva and clapped his hands.
“A new mission has arrived.”
The Gwangpungdae stopped practicing and gathered in front of the podium.
It wasn’t a mistake. Everyone’s eyes were sharp as a knife.
“Well, it’s a mission, but it’s also personal to me.”
Raon nodded, looking at Gwangpungdae.
“As you all know, my older sister, Sia Sieghardt, is still unable to wake up, and they say they have found a soul stone that can wake her up. “This mission is to find it and return.”
Although he said it was a mission, he was a little embarrassed because it seemed like his personal work.
“So…”
“Yes!”
As I was about to post an editorial, all of the Gwangpungdae prosecutors burst out in enthusiastic responses. Their eyes flashed a darker color than when they were training.
“Chu, departure is tomorrow morning. “You have to go out to sea on a boat, so prepare well.”
“All right!”
Gwangpungdae gave a weak answer or nodded with a firm look in his eyes without showing any concern and left the training ground.
“What did you say during training?”
Raon looked at Rimmer and lowered his eyebrows.
“I didn’t say anything. “I just brought up a little bit of mental theory.”
Rimmer shrugged his shoulders, saying it was no big deal.
“Then shall I go get ready too?”
He lightly tapped Raon’s arm and disappeared with a flailing walk.
“What happened?”
Raon blinked his eyes blankly.
-This is why…
Lars briefly clicked his tongue.
-This means that the King doesn’t care about you!
* * *
Early morning the next day.
Raon left the annex early and went to Sia’s hospital room.
As always, Sylvia and Edgar were sitting in front of Sia’s bed, being with their daughter who could not wake up.
“Raon. Be careful. Above all, don’t forget that you are important.”
Sylvia sighed, holding Raon’s hand as if she was worried.
“You yourself are important, but now that you are the great lord, you have to take care of your subordinates first. It’s good to think that your subordinates are your life. Actually, that’s not what I’m saying. Even if there are many reasons, I will abandon my subordinates at the Holy Sword Training…”
“Stop it!”
Sylvia covered Edgar’s mouth as he was about to babble until the end.
“Raon. Travel carefully. “They also take good care of the children.”
“yes. Okay.”
Raon said hello to Sylvia and Edgar and then approached Sia’s bed.
‘wait a munite.’
It was when he held Sia’s hand and promised to save her.
Couuuuuuuuuck!
With the sound of rough footsteps, the door to Pedric’s mansion opened as if it would break.
‘what!’
As Raon went outside with his eyes wide open, Aris, with flowing red hair, put her hand on her waist and lifted her chin.
“Hey, aunt?”
Raon opened his mouth as he saw Aris smiling excitedly.
“How can we get here….”
“I came to meet you when you said you were coming.”
Aris grinned, saying she came because she wanted to see him quickly.
“M-picking you up…?”
For the first time, I realized that this meant that the welcome person would come to the house.
-Now that I think about it…
Lars narrowed his eyes as he looked at Aris.
-It seems like there are no normal women around you?
