Chapter 580
Raon frowned deeply as he looked at the book with his name written on it.
‘that’s right. The mercenaries I met at the restaurant at that time also talked about books.’
The mercenaries I met at the restaurant I stopped by before coming to Seifia also said that a book with my name as the title had been published.
‘That was this book.’
But when was this made?
The first time Encia said she would engrave her signature mark with my face was when she made Sylvia’s danjeon.
It’s not that long ago, so I don’t know how a book like this has already come out.
‘If it were a book this thick, I wouldn’t be able to use magic… Ah!’
now i get it
Ensia did not publish the book after receiving permission for the signature mark, but received permission after the book had already been created.
‘That’s why I said I would give you a percentage of the image rights…’
I said I would never accept it, but it seemed like the reason I insisted on paying until the end was because of this book.
“Uh…”
Raon shook his head with his eyes narrowed.
‘It’s not a person’s ability to act.’
At times like this, Encia didn’t seem to be outdone by Merlin either.
“Oh, how can you be with Raon?”
As Shi Yan sighed in bewilderment, he raised his trembling eyes.
“hmm?”
Rimmer looked at Siyan and tilted his head.
“Isn’t the book you’re reading written about Raon?”
“That’s right…”
“Then don’t you know that I am Raon’s teacher?”
“What are you talking about! Well, Raon has become strong alone! “There is no such thing as a teacher!”
Siyan raised his voice slightly, telling him not to talk nonsense.
“Why are you talking nonsense? “I raised him!”
Rimmer looked down at the blanket covered by Siyan and frowned.
“no! Raon was a genius who learned swordsmanship from birth!”
“Where in the world is there a person like that! Listen carefully! “Raon, he was a disciple I raised on my back, and now he’s my subordinate!”
Raon narrowed her eyes as she listened to the brother and sister’s conversation.
‘If it doesn’t say that the great lord is my teacher, then what did I write?’
I turned the pages with trembling hands. Thanks to the ring of fire, I was able to understand the content even if I turned the pages in seconds.
“What does it say? “Do you have my name?”
“Me?”
Dorian and Yua stuck out their heads as if they were curious.
“….”
Raon finished reading the book in an instant and shook his shoulders without answering.
‘This is a hymn. ‘It’s not a human hymn, it’s a Raon hymn.’
Everything starts with Raon and ends with Raon.
First of all, the actions and events themselves are true, but in the content, Raon was a god himself who could do anything.
Rimmer did not appear, the three leaders did appear, but they appeared as obstructionists who dragged their feet, and Dorian had no name and was simply called a mobile bag.
Fortunately, Yua’s name appeared, but she appeared once and that was it.
“I’m coming out.”
Raon awkwardly nodded to Dorian and Yua and turned the last page of the book.
“Ah…”
As soon as I saw the last page, I moaned without realizing it.
1. The round stone that Raon Sieghard threw into the sky is now called the moon.
2. Raon Sieghardt is not learning swordsmanship. Swordsmanship was born for Raon Sieghart.
3. Raon Sieghardt does not have a separate house. Because this world is home.
4. Raon Sieghart can burn fire and freeze ice.
These crazy things were written in abbreviated form. I couldn’t look any further, so I closed the book.
-Did you create the moon? When and how!
Lars’ eyes trembled as he looked at me, as if he believed what was written in the book.
“Haaa…”
I didn’t have the strength to respond so I just sighed.
‘We must burn it all down.’
I decided to completely erase the existence of this book, even if it meant spending all my money.
“I really am Raon, right?”
Siyan’s trembling voice came out from inside the blanket. He said he was unemployed in the corner of the room, but he seemed to have no intention of showing up at all.
I could only tell the color of her hair thanks to a few blonde strands sticking out of the blanket.
“It’s not Jonjal, it’s Raon.”
Raon nodded, looking at Siyan’s blanket.
“I’m a Loser fan. “Good luck Raon.”
Shiyan said again, pouting his eyes out. Blue eyes twinkled dimly, as if looking at a cloudless sky.
“thank you. And you can leave out the jjal.”
“The book says you should always call me Jonjal….”
“Don’t trust this book. “Because 9 out of 10 are lies.”
Raon returned the book to Siyan and shook his head.
“You are as humble as it is written in the book.”
Perhaps because Siyan had already been brainwashed, he did not trust Raon himself and trusted the book.
“That’s not it. Haa….”
Raon’s fingertips trembled. It was too complicated to explain. All that came out was a sigh.
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
Shi Yan slightly held out his hand and took the book. The back of my hand is so white that it is transparent. It felt like I hadn’t been outside in a really long time.
“hey. Siyan. “Aren’t you too interested in your brother, whom you haven’t seen in a long time?”
Rimmer shook his head, saying it was too much.
“Oh sorry. I’m out of my mind right now… Oh brother! “My arm!”
The blanket under which Siyan was hiding shook loudly.
“this? “I invested in the future.”
Rimmer narrowed his eyes at Raon. I think I liked what he said in front of Stelin.
“For Raon’s sake?”
“okay. “You had a hard time saving that guy.”
“Oh, doesn’t it hurt?”
“I handled it well when I got cut, so I’m fine now.”
He patted the blanket where Siyan’s head was.
“brother.”
“huh?”
“good job.”
“uh…?”
Rimer blinked at Siyan’s energetic voice.
“Raon is the best among blue chip stocks! “It will definitely come back big!”
She waved her hand out of the blanket, saying it was a good choice.
“Oh, okay…”
Rimmer just nodded absentmindedly, as if he had never imagined such a reaction would come.
“Are you okay, Raon?”
“Thanks to the great lord, I was not seriously injured.
“thank god!”
Siyan hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth again.
“That damn Raon. “Can I ask you one thing?”
“You can do it as long as you keep your voice quiet.”
Raon took a short breath and nodded.
“What do you think La Raon would have done if he had no talent for swordsmanship?”
“Talent?”
I was a little embarrassed because it was an unexpected question.
“I was born as a high elf, but I did not have the talents that a high elf should have. However, they cannot fight as well as other elves, cannot summon spirits, or use aurors. They say they are called high elves who are more incompetent than bugs…”
Siyan muttered that the only thing she could do was hide like this and breathe. There was moisture seeping into her voice.
“You’re good at shooting arrows. “Wasn’t it Baekbal Baekjung?”
“Oh, what can I do if I’m good at shooting a bow when I can’t use Auror? And it’s been so long since I shot a bow…”
She looked at the bow hanging on the wall for a moment and then buried her face in the bed.
“Hmm….”
Raon briefly took a bite.
‘That’s a difficult question.’
No matter how much of a fan you are, if you ask such a question to someone you just met, it means you are mentally driven.
Siyan himself must have had great courage, so I wanted to help him regardless of whether he was my fan or Rimmer’s younger brother.
However, there were some things you needed to know first before answering.
“If Siyan is a high elf, does that mean the great lord is also a high elf?”
“not me.”
Rimmer shook his head calmly.
“High elves are determined at birth. It was passed down from my grandfather to Siyan, but it may come from another tribe next time. “It’s different every time.”
He shrugged and said that high elves are beings determined by heaven.
“And there are only two high elves that can exist at the same time. “Now there are only two people in Seifia, Grandfather and Siyan.”
“okay.”
Raon chewed his lip slightly.
‘If there are only two high elves, I can’t help but feel burdened.’
Moreover, I don’t know when Stelin will leave.
Judging by the wrinkles on Stelin’s face, he probably doesn’t have long left to live.
Aside from him, the only high elf was Siyan, and since she was not able to fulfill her role, it was clear that she was feeling a great burden from those around her and herself.
‘I feel sorry for you.’
Raon recalled the answer to Siyan’s question in his head and then slowly parted his lips.
“If I didn’t have a goal, I would have lived a normal life without holding a sword. However, if there was something I had to accomplish, I would have picked up the sword even if I didn’t have the talent.”
“To the end?”
“yes. “I would never give up.”
Although he did not reveal detailed facts, he gave his answer with all his sincerity.
“I don’t know what you read, Si-yan, but it’s true that Ra-on is very talented.”
“As expected…”
“But.”
Rimmer smiled slightly and sat down on Siyan’s bed.
“That guy put in more effort than anyone I’ve ever seen. I was the first to come to the training ground and the last to return. “I guarantee you that there is no one around Raon’s age who has trained more than that guy.”
He patted the blanket, saying that Raon’s current strength was created by sheer effort rather than talent.
“that’s right. “From the moment I first saw Raon, he was a monster with nothing but water training in his head.”
“Just practice every day, even when you return home!”
Dorian and Yua also said that Raon’s true talent is hard work.
“But the book says you can imitate swordsmanship once you see it….”
“You can imitate it, but it’s not swordsmanship, it’s just a trick. “To raise one’s level, training is the only answer.”
Raon nodded, looking at Siyan’s shoulders trembling under the blanket.
“Effort…”
Siyan’s voice sounded gloomy yet bright.
“If it gets hard, give up.”
Rimmer chuckled as he smoothed Siyan’s hair.
“You’re telling me to give up? “Who is going to clean up the world tree?”
“You can leave it to the next high elf.”
He shook his head and told me to take it easy.
“I have purified the World Tree as if my grandfather had tuberculosis, so even if he dies, I will be able to survive for 40 years. “Wouldn’t a new high elf be born at that time?”
“But…”
“Siyan. The world is big and there is a lot to do. “Don’t let yourself get caught up in your duties.”
Rimmer had a soft smile on his lips, as if he was truly thinking about his younger brother.
Raon looked at Siyan shivering under the blanket without answering and touched her under the ear.
‘You have a strong sense of responsibility.’
As soon as Rimmer told him to give up, Siyan brought up a story about purifying the World Tree.
It meant that even though he was ignored by other elves, he did not forget what he had to do.
“I don’t know anything about the world of elves, so I can’t tell you too much, but…”
He continued, looking at the sparkling blue eyes under the blanket.
“Aren’t you curious about what the elves who looked down on Siyan as an incompetent high elf will look like when they see the changed Siyan? “You won’t be able to speak at all and just keep your mouth open.”
I remembered the shocked expressions other children showed me during my trainee days.
“Ah…”
Shi Yan’s eyes trembled with excitement just thinking about that.
“And if you try your best and it doesn’t work, giving up is one option. The important thing here is to acknowledge that I did my best. “Even if you fool the rest of us, you can’t fool me.”
“I’ll do my best…”
Siyan muttered the word “best” under the blanket.
“And Siyan, you can’t do anything.”
“yes?”
“You said you made Nadine bread. I like that. “There is someone else who likes me other than me.”
Raon showed a soft smile as he thought of Glenn.
“okay. You haven’t tested all your abilities yet. “Think about it carefully.”
Rimmer touched Siyan’s head and got up from the bed.
“We’ll go. “Rest.”
He motioned for us to leave.
“….”
Shi Yan didn’t say anything.
“Then I’ll go too.”
“Thank you!”
When Raon followed Rimmer and retreated, Siyan’s voice was heard from inside the blanket. I must have mustered up some courage, so my voice rose to about half a tone.
“Wow, it’s the same in Sieghardt and it’s the same here. “I really can’t live because I’m discriminated against.”
Rimmer muttered that he was annoyed, but left the room with a smile on his face.
“Rest.”
Raon chuckled and followed Rimmer out, looking to the right.
‘But…’
I lowered my eyebrows as I looked at Lars floating in the air, clutching his chin.
‘Why are you so quiet?’
Lars, who had said he would beat Shiyan to death the moment they met, was strangely quiet.
-That high elf girl from a little while ago.
‘uh?’
Lars looked back and frowned.
-It’s blocked.
* * *
After everyone left, Siyan crawled out of the blanket like a turtle.
“I see. Good luck Raon. No, Raon too….”
He didn’t get to his current position through talent alone.
Raon, whom I saw in person, had a spirit that was different from others. I thought he was just like I saw in the book because he had a presence that naturally drew attention, but in reality, he seemed to have gone through quite a bit of hardship.
“My best efforts….”
I definitely tried. He probably spent more time practicing resonance than other elves out there devoted to auror and elemental magic.
However, if you ask whether I did my best, I cannot give a clear answer.
There were times when I was lazy, there were times when I couldn’t concentrate because I was worried about what other elves were looking at, and there were times when I gave up and just slept.
“You said that even if you fool others, you can’t fool yourself.”
It’s as they say. All the time I wasted remained in my mind.
“Let’s try a little more…”
As I read the book and received advice from Raon, whom I considered my idol, the feeling of wanting to give up disappeared and the desire to try more arose.
In particular, the question of whether I was curious about how the reactions of the elves who glared at me would change touched my heart.
To be honest, I had a deep desire to receive everyone’s attention and praise.
Siyan got off the bed and closed his eyes.
‘I don’t have the courage to go out yet.’
She held the biography of Raon Sieghardt tightly with both hands and focused her mind on becoming one with the world.
* * *
Raon smiled slightly as he looked around the designated accommodation.
“It’s no different from the accommodations where people live.”
Erian gave the building that had been touched by humans as accommodation. Although it was comfortable, I was a little disappointed because I wanted to stay in a tree house.
Raon unpacked his luggage and left the dorm. Wanting to feel Seifia’s pure mana more deeply, I looked around and the elves stopped walking one by one.
“Is that human?”
“I can’t believe humans have such pure mana…”
“It’s purer than us. “It’s almost like a spirit.”
“Are you really a contract of the Spirit King, as Erian said?”
“I don’t know if he’s a contractor or not, but I fully understand that there’s a possibility.”
The elves exclaimed or looked at Raon with admiration.
“That’s nonsense. Why would the Spirit King make a contract with a human?”
“that’s right. “I’ve never heard of a human, not an elf, making a contract with the Spirit King.”
“I don’t understand Erian. “Why do you like it so much?…”
Some elves shook their heads, dismissing it as nonsense. To be honest, I was more grateful to them.
‘As expected, it was that elf’s doing.’
Seeing Erian’s name appear, it was clear that the single-minded elf had spread the story of the Spirit King throughout Seifia.
‘Really, there is nothing normal around the great lord.’
Raon shook his head and walked away, avoiding the eyes of the elves. As I walked in a place where the eyes of the elves could not see, I ended up standing in front of a small clearing.
‘Is it a training ground?’
Seeing that there were arrows and wooden swords nearby, it seemed like a training ground for elves where they could practice bows and swordsmanship.
‘No matter where the training ground is, I feel at ease.’
-That’s because you’re crazy about training, right?
Lars frowned, glaring at Raon.
– Let’s stop shaking and go back. My king is hungry!
The guy whet his appetite and suggested that he try the strange foods Rimmer had mentioned.
‘Previously.’
Raon grabbed Lars’ tail and pulled him in front of his eyes.
‘What does it mean that Siyan is blocked earlier?’
-A blockage is a blockage.
‘So please explain in detail.’
-That high elf girl. The part you call the upper part is completely blocked.
‘Usually everything is blocked. As your level increases, you will naturally penetrate it.’
The path to Sangsangjeon has been blocked since birth. He also became a Grand Master and was able to break through to the top level.
-yes. But that woman has something other than her own walls.
‘Other?’
-Not even the king knows what that is. However, it is clear that something quite deep and dark is blocking it.
‘Why didn’t Sterin know that?’
-It must have been like that from birth, so you thought it was natural. Besides, that old high elf can’t see what the real king sees.
Lars cocked his nose, saying that his status was higher.
‘It’s blocked…’
Raon shook his head, rubbing his chin.
‘It looked very difficult.’
Because I lived as an associate in Sieghardt and experienced a similar perspective as Siyan, I was able to understand her to some extent.
Limer was also so worried that he stopped laughing as soon as he left Siyan’s room, so he wanted to help if he could.
‘It’s a top battle… hmm?’
While I was thinking about it, I heard a sharp sound of wind coming from the forest on the right.
Before Raon could even think, he pulled out his sword. Swordmak maintained its balance even in a hurry. I thought I could endure whatever came my way.
but.
Hahaha!
The sword curtain crumbled like a sand castle, and pure white arrows penetrated into the boundary.
He drew the requiem sword with his free left hand and built a wall of prayer beads.
Hwaaaaa!
The shield of flame rose like moonlight and blocked the path of the arrow.
Peeeeeeee!
However, the white arrow soared like a living thing, aiming for the right shoulder rather than the left side where the wall of prayer beads was built.
Whoa!
Raon quickly retrieved his sword and barely managed to hit the arrow.
“Ugh….”
My hand hurts violently. The power contained in the arrow was stronger than that of a Grand Master level swordsman.
Wooooow!
In addition, the arrow only bounced a little and returned forward again with sharp force.
“This arrow…”
“It’s quite good.”
The forest where the arrow had come from split apart and Stelin’s figure was revealed. His tall stature and unstoppable steps were exactly like Rimmer’s.
“Guardian, why suddenly…”
“You gave my granddaughter, who was sitting down, the strength to get up, so I can only repay you a little.”
When Stelin gestured, the white arrow floating in the air was sucked into his hand.
“You said you wanted to get inspiration by looking at Gamnyeongsi, right?”
He put an arrow on the bowstring and smiled brightly.
“If you can take it, take it.”
