Chapter 386
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he saw the young hedgehog waving his hand.
‘The hedgehog is an animal that hibernates…’
Sieghart has four seasons in winter, but now is the coldest time among them.
If it’s a wild hedgehog, it doesn’t make sense to wave your hand with a smile because it’s sleeping in the ground with a full stomach.
-What are you thinking so deep!
Lars’ jaw trembled as he watched the porcupine grin.
– Isn’t it obvious! That madwoman!
The guy muttered that he was scared and went into the ice flower bracelet faster than ever.
‘I know…’
Of course I knew who was inside that hedgehog, but I was just hoping that it might be a real hedgehog.
“Huh…”
Raon let out a deep sigh and met the hedgehog’s eyes.
“Merlin?”
“huh!”
The hedgehog smiled and nodded. there was no such thing as
“How the hell did you get here?”
“I enjoyed the match yesterday.”
Again, Merlin. She didn’t answer the question, just spit out what she wanted to say.
“It was really cool to see you overcome difficulties with your colleagues without panicking even when things go wrong!”
Merlin gave a thumbs up. It was surprising that a hedgehog could do that.
“You saw it all?”
Raon opened his mouth wide.
‘The head of the house was there too?’
Glenn was at the training ground in the city where the battle was fought yesterday. I do not know when I will be caught and die, but I laughed out loud at the guts to watch it until the end.
“I’ll have to change my life span to see you fighting while giving orders.”
Merlin twisted his body and laughed.
-That’s what a crazy woman is…
‘Crazy…’
Other people may not know, but to Merlin, that is not a joke. Cold sweat ran down his back.
“It’s okay.”
Merlin came down from the tree and crept up. It was slow to use the hedgehog’s body as it was, but the distance was close and it was already under my feet.
“I have something to tell you. listen to me.”
“It has thorns.”
“It’s okay if you don’t put up a thorn. Oh please don’t touch my side It’s embarrassing.”
She blushed, saying that she was ashamed to get the meat on her side.
“Ha…”
I’m going crazy.
I don’t know what’s embarrassing about the subject who appeared in the form of a hedgehog.
However, it seemed clear that he had brought important information, so he couldn’t refuse.
Raon sighed deeply and lifted Merlin. The spines slightly curled inwards, as if she was controlling them.
“Look. Aren’t you sick?”
Merlin waved a small hand to look at it. If it hadn’t been for the presence of a madwoman, she was so cute that I would want to hug her.
“What are you talking about?”
“I caught you in the Black Tower.”
Contrary to her cute appearance, she had a cool voice.
“capture?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Merlin.
“They must already know that I killed the black water chief, right?”
“I just knew that. From now on, I have chosen you as a target to be eliminated.”
A blue light seeped into Merlin’s dark eyes.
“The Black Tower is stealthy but persistent. Even if you’re on a lower floor, you’ve defeated one of the Black Tower’s floor pillars, so I’m sure I’ll send someone stronger after studying you.”
“I guess so.”
Raon nodded.
‘Because they’re terrible.’
Like those who use the energy of darkness, Black Tower does not choose between fire and water. It was clear that he would come for revenge by any means.
“But how did you know that?”
The non-banquet and the black market were also investigating the Black Tower, but I didn’t expect to hear the information from Merlin first.
“I was infiltrated.”
Merlin scratched his round nose and laughed.
‘infiltration?’
Did you say infiltrate?
I couldn’t believe that Eden’s executive had infiltrated the Black Tower.
“Could it be because of me?”
“of course.”
“Why did you even sneak in…”
“Because I’m worried about you.”
Merlin tilted his head, as if asking why he was asking something obvious.
‘Ah…’
Every time I heard her words, my mouth dried up. I was grateful, but it was also creepy.
-Huh….
Lars groaned inside the bracelet as if he was dumbfounded.
“Eden seems to be preparing something too, but I’m not sure.”
Merlin frowned, saying that Tacheon has been wandering around alone lately.
“You don’t know either?”
“Maybe he’s a little suspicious of me, but Tacheon takes care of things himself and only gives out minor missions.”
“doubt?”
“Because you were my target. It seems to think that the line might be touching. Because you are smart too.”
She said she hadn’t been caught yet and not to worry too much.
“First of all, I have to clear my doubts, so I think I will have to move carefully from now on.”
Merlin waved a small hand.
“I’ll come back if I get important information from the Black Tower or Eden. Until then, take care of yourself.”
She waved her small hand, saying it was time to go.
“Thank you for letting me know…”
“Give this child twenty earthworms. Because that was a promise.”
Merlin winked with a porcupine eye and disappeared.
“Wait a minute! How do you get earthworms here right now!”
Queek?
The hedgehog that was held in the palm of my hand looked at me while standing on all fours. The way he narrowed his eyes seemed to mean that he wanted to quickly serve the food.
“Ah…”
Raon’s lips trembled as he held the hedgehog in his hand.
“Where do you find earthworms now…?”
He hadn’t imagined meeting Merlin inside Sieghart, so his subspace pockets were also empty.
Key profit!
The hedgehog raised its thorns while raising its cry as if to quickly release it.
-What are you doing! If you make a promise, keep it! Dig the ground quickly!
‘I didn’t promise…’
Raon sighed and used the senses of the tale to search for insects and earthworms around him. To be honest, I barely felt anything.
“You can’t do it with ten instead of twenty…”
Kiyik!
“i get it. okay.”
I shook my head and started digging with my bare hands where I could feel the very slight energy.
-The main king is afraid of that crazy woman… but
Lars came to the side and giggled.
– Seeing you flustered makes me unbearably happy!
‘It’s noisy and you quickly find earthworms. Before eating the bugs.’
-Kkeek….
* * *
Raon managed to escape from the hedgehog only after finding twenty earthworms and digging a hole for him to sleep in.
With a satisfied face, the boy blew a stick and fell into hibernation.
‘I’m exhausted.’
-Because I’m hungry…
Lars, who was looking for earthworms together, stretched out on his forearm.
– Let’s eat first as soon as we go home.
‘Wake up.’
– Eat and wake up.
‘What do you mean…’
– It means let’s eat first!
‘Everyone is sleeping.’
As I was about to climb over the window of the room to avoid waking the others, the door to the annex opened.
“Raon. come here.”
Sylvia came out of the door and waved.
“mother?”
Raon opened his eyes wide and approached Sylvia.
“Didn’t you sleep?”
“I get less sleep in the morning when I get older.”
Sylvia laughed, saying that she woke up a moment ago.
“But you should sleep a little longer…”
“Once I open my eyes, I can’t sleep well. But…”
She wiped her eyes as she held her dust-covered hand.
“Why do you keep talking respectfully?”
“You’re over 20 now.”
I thought it was time to use a respectful word because I had crossed the terms and conditions.
“it’s okay.”
Sylvia looked at Raon and shook her head.
“Because I still don’t like you becoming an adult.”
She laughed, saying that she was still at the age to be fooled.
“It’s been a while since that age.”
“Because you haven’t had aegyo since you were little.”
“Um…”
There was nothing to refute. Since I had the spirit of an adult from a baby, it was absolutely impossible to act cute and childish.
“It’s still a baby to me.”
Sylvia caressed both cheeks.
“Outside, they thought of me as a hero or a sword dragon, but as a standing soldier. There are many people who come to me to look good for you.”
“is that so.”
Raon smiled lightly. The work underway to raise Sylvia to the direct line seemed to be working well.
“But I’m rejecting them all and I don’t care.”
Sylvia met her eyes and smiled.
“Don’t worry about putting your mother on the direct line, focus on what you want to do. I didn’t tell you, but you really have work to do.”
“How could that be…”
Raon widened his eyes. Sylvia was surprised because she had never told her what she was aiming for.
“I am your mother.”
“Ah…”
“Because Judyel is on duty today. Let’s make a sandwich together. Wash up and come.”
Sylvia waved her hand and headed for the kitchen.
“Hey…”
-Mom is the best!
“…”
* * *
After Raon took a bath and opened the door, Judiel bowed her head.
“Are you here?”
She pointed to the sandwiches and milk on the table and said to have them.
-The sandwiches he makes are quite good.
Just as Lars said, the sandwich Judyel made was savory and clean, so it tasted good.
“I will eat well.”
When Raon sat down at the table and took a bite of a sandwich, Judyel came over to her.
“While the young master was away for training, information about Oma arrived from the black market. Would you like to see for yourself? Or should I tell you?”
“You tell me.”
It was much easier to listen to her because Judiel has an unsurpassed talent for managing information.
“Once, Ouma’s movements are said to have drastically decreased. The only ones that were active were the North and South Alliance and the Black Tower, but they said they didn’t even show much movement.”
“It must be because of the Six Emperors meeting.”
“yes. It seems that he hid himself for a while, knowing that the six emperors’ alliance was still strong and the family head’s power was intact.”
Judyel nodded and closed her eyes.
“But you must not be careless. It’s clear that they’re not just running away, they’re building up their strength.”
“I guess so.”
Raon licked his lips. Ohma are lunatics who cannot stay still for long periods of time. It was clear that he was hiding with another ulterior motive.
“The reason the Black Tower moved was to seek information, and that information was…”
“It must be me.”
Raon smiled at Judiel.
“Did you know?”
“It’s obvious.”
Thanks to Merlin, it was clear what the Black Tower guys were thinking.
“What about your brother?”
“Not yet.”
“If you feel regretful, you can show regret.”
“it’s okay.”
Judiel calmly shook her head as if she had no emotion.
“When you did a puppet show before, you acted well. ‘Quaaaaaagh!’ and a realistic scream…”
“Do master!”
Her face turned red for the first time. It seemed as embarrassing as that.
“I will just go. And thank you for caring.”
Judiel left the room with her ear lobe dyed red.
-Huh.
Lars looked at the door Judiel had left and started writing on his round bread fist.
-You should always pretend to take care of your subordinates…
‘It’s not like you’re taking care of them.’
-Anyway, this isn’t that difficult. Because there is no demon king in the demon realm who thinks of his subordinates as much as the main king.
‘Can I not write it down?’
-As I said yesterday, you are stealing the power of the original king, so shouldn’t the original king take something too!
As he frowned, saying that nothing is free, a message came up.
[You have won a victory against an enemy of a higher level.]
[All stats increase by 8 points.]
[The performance of straight swords and swordsmanship increases.]
The achievement of stats and swordsmanship and swordsmanship increased while winning against Trevin. It was a message.
‘also.’
After sparring, it became more comfortable to use the techniques of the regular sword and the ceremonial sword, but it seems that it was not my fault.
– Why are you giving me this again!
Lars dropped the round hand he was writing on.
‘You said Where in the world is free?’
Raon shrugged his shoulders as he saw Lars trembling.
‘Today’s lecture fee.’
– Shut up! The lecture fee has been fully paid for the rest of my life! This is a scam!
‘Then do you report it? Although there’s no time to do it.’
– You damn bastard! I can’t stand it today!
Lars exploded after a long time, and his strength and agility increased that day.
* * *
“Huh…”
Julius gasped as he looked up at the cliffs of Mt. Bukmang.
“You want me to go up there?”
Aren’t you crazy?
I just thought that I was crazy to climb a sheer cliff that looked like it would roll down at the slightest wrong move.
“Come up!”
Raon’s cry was heard from the top of the cliff.
“Today really kills that.”
“Raon has no personality…”
“Let’s go!”
As if leading by example, Marta Runan Burren, the leader of the Gwangpungdan, started climbing the cliff first, and the other Gwangpungdan swordsmen followed suit.
Gwangpungdan climbed the cliff at tremendous speed even with metal balls called black rings on their wrists and ankles.
It’s a little hard to say this to seniors, but he was agile like a cockroach.
‘How can I go so fast with that?’
The black circle is not only heavy, but also has the effect of blocking auras. I couldn’t believe that I was climbing the cliff so fast with my bare body.
“Let’s go too!”
Yua, who became a probationary prosecutor of Gwangpungdan together, clenched her fists.
‘This fearless little boy…’
Yua’s face was red as she wanted to climb the cliff quickly, as if she wasn’t afraid.
“Aren’t you scared?”
“You trained for three months for this.”
“Not for this.”
Julius shook his head. I did basic training for three months after Gwangpungdan and Cheoljeondae’s sparring, but I didn’t think it would be easy.
That will be the case…
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A crane climbing a cliff was hit by a boulder-like boulder and was falling down.
He quickly released the black ring and protected himself with an aura before falling to the ground.
Aaaaaaagh!
The crane crashed into the ground and the ground shook as if it were about to collapse.
“Ouch…”
He barely opened his mouth, his eyes quivering.
“Raon, you son of a bitch. Why do you always start with me… Go away!”
As Crane muttered Raon’s swear words, a stone that flew from somewhere hit him on the forehead.
“It’s gonna be fun!”
“Ugh…”
Yua floated happily, and Crane’s face turned pale.
“do not worry.”
Dogoe approached the two children and shook his head.
“Because you guys will accept it even if you fall away.”
He said there was no need to accept the others because he was used to them now. As soon as he finished his words, members of the Gwangpungdan started to fall from the cliff like rain.
“Quaaaaagh!
“Damn it!”
“Why is that madman getting more and more secret magic!”
The members of the Gwangpungdan threw curses at Raon or screamed and fell to the ground one after another.
“let’s go!”
Yua began to climb the cliff, confused about what was so enjoyable. Because he didn’t wear a black ring, he went up quickly.
“Oh no…”
Julius gritted his teeth and put his hand on the cliff after the infant.
‘I can’t lose to this guy.’
I don’t know anything else, but I can’t see that Bang-sil is monopolizing Raon-nim’s praise. I overcame my fear and climbed the cliff with all my might.
Raon smiled as he watched Yooa and Julius swaying and climbing the cliff.
‘you’re good.’
I thought it would be difficult to climb the cliff without an aura because I was still lacking in training, but both were climbing well.
‘Is an infant a pleasure, and Julius an ogre?’
The infant enjoyed the training itself, and Julius clenched his teeth and climbed the cliff because he did not want to lose to such an infant.
‘It’s good to have a rival.’
He chuckled and tossed the raincoat that was on his finger down. Bido, who went down without even making the slightest sound, aimed at Dorian’s forehead.
“Oh no!”
Dorian sensed the danger and tried to duck to the right, but Bido whirled softly like a windblown blade of grass and slapped him in the side.
Wow!
My skin was just touching Bido, but there was a roar like a hammer hitting it.
“Kwaaaek!”
Dorian fell down in tears.
“You devil!”
He couldn’t bear to curse and disappeared, calling himself a devil.
-It’s not a devil, it’s a demon king candidate!
Lars shook his head, saying that he had already passed the demon stage.
‘I don’t say the demon king.’
He smiled and threw down the raincoat in his hand. Bido, which was shot like a thunderbolt, hit Gwangpungdan’s shoulder.
‘I won’t be pushed by the sword anymore.’
The growth of Flawlessness was faster than that of Gwangfengdan. With several additional festivals made, Gwangpungdan still has a long way to go before conquering this cliff.
‘Should I mix it with that too?’
Since he had mastered the Perfection Skill to some extent, it seemed like it would be okay to mix it with the Biryeongdo he had received from Derus before.
‘Sooner or later…’
When Raon was recalling the Gugyeol of Biryong Island, he heard a voice from behind. I turned around and saw Roen standing there with a benevolent smile.
‘You still look like a ghost.’
Like a murderer with the alias of the King of Salvation, killing a prey was far above himself.
“I see you, Lord Gwangpung Budan.”
Rowen politely bowed his head.
“It’s been a while, Mr. Loen.”
Raon bowed his head deeper than that and greeted him face to face.
“The head of the household is looking for you.”
Rowen smiled softly and nodded his chin.
“The head of the family?”
“yes. It seems that the second test has been decided.”
