Episode 236
The collapse approached with weary steps. He put the sack of gold coins in his hand on the podium and let out a rough breath.
“This is the interest you deserve from that idiot.”
He pushed the bag of gold coins inward, frowning as if he didn’t like it.
“hmm.”
Raon fell behind and saw Rimer panting.
Of course, the two did not show their true skills, and it seemed that Rimer gave in to Do-Hae, who came for the first time today.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
He smiled lightly and pushed the gold coin bag back.
“As I said, please use this to fund the operation of Gwangpungdan.”
Raon handed over all the gold coins Dohae brought.
“You won’t say anything else later, will you?”
“Sure.”
Do-goe is a person who knows how to make money. If you leave it to him, that money will multiply many times and make the Gwangpungdan rich.
“You’ve been so damn good since day one.”
Do-goe gritted his teeth and straightened his back.
“That stupid elf. The tenacity like a leech is added to the weakened theme.”
“It is the same with inspiration. Why did you become stronger when you got old and lost your sword?”
Rimer got up and laughed. Seeing that their breathing had stopped in an instant, they both had plenty of room left.
Even though the two had an unwanted fight, it didn’t look like they hated it that much. Rather, a faint smile lingered on his lips as if he was cool.
“Since you moved according to your instructions, I will leave. There’s a lot of work to do to change this crappy place…”
“Today’s work hasn’t even started yet.”
“what?”
The thief’s jaw trembled. The facial expressions when not gambling were quite diverse.
“Other things are important, but the most urgent task is to raise the power of the Gwangpungdan.”
Raon pointed to the members of the Gwangpungdan who were waiting after training preparations.
“Now training begins, where are you going, instructor?”
“You intend to eat this old man to the very core.”
“It’s a hard-earned nobleman, but I have to use it well.”
“Whoa.”
Do-goe let out a deep sigh and leaned his back on the podium. Seeing that he crossed his arms and nodded, he seemed to be telling me to hurry up.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head to Do-goe and stood in front of the members of the Gwangpungdan.
“You must have seen the strength of Instructor. This is your first time showing off your skills, so do your best!”
“All right!”
The swordsmen were so impressed by Do Hae-yeol that he showed the strength that Limer was not pushed back by an inch, so they shouted at the gymnasium to leave.
Raon smiled and drew his sword.
“Let’s start regular training.”
* * *
Raon approached the podium after finishing his personal swordsmanship, footwork checkup operation, and situational awareness training.
Dohae was leaning his back on the podium as he had seen it for the first time, and Rimer was lying on the podium and moaning.
“How did you see it?”
“Are they all your age?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s worth taking a look at. Especially those three are fine.”
Dokai nodded while chinning Burren and Runan Marta in turn.
“When it is ripe, it is a vessel worthy of being famous throughout the continent.”
Of course, he recognized the skills of the leaders at a glance.
“The others aren’t bad either. Even Sieghart has superior strength and experience for his age.”
He made a surprisingly accurate evaluation, saying that the rest of the prosecutors were fine.
“If I teach these guys, I don’t think they’ll be bored. By the way…”
Do-Hae looked Raon up and down and frowned.
“What have you become?”
“yes?”
“You grew up with them, so why are you the only one who became such a monster?”
“I’m not really a monster…”
“If the madman who rose to the rank of lower master at eighteen isn’t a monster, then who the hell is a monster!”
He waved his hand as if to stop laughing.
“That’s thanks to me.”
Rimmer, who had been rolling around on the podium, raised his head. Is it because the money was stolen? The face became thin.
“This body taught me well, so Raon became such an ignorant monster.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. How can a beggar like you raise such a monster!”
“Oh, it’s real! Right Raon?”
“You are not wrong.”
Raon smiled lightly and nodded. From swordsmanship and aura to mindset. Except for gambling, Rimer was clearly a great teacher.
“You acted like a demon earlier, but now you are polite. I don’t know which one you really are.”
“The courtesy was always taken care of.”
“joy. Eating the courtesy in a stew bowl!”
Do-goe undid his arms and sneered.
“Now that I’ve seen what I’m looking at, let’s think about the training you guys need.”
As if he was about to leave, he pulled away from the podium and cleared his throat.
“You haven’t seen my swordsmanship yet.”
“I saw enough of your sword yesterday. I have nothing to teach you, so do it yourself.”
“Then may I ask you one question?”
Raon blocked Dohee from leaving and gave a serious look in his eyes.
“Tell me.”
“What is the Phantom Sword?”
“Um…”
Do-Hae frowned with his eyes closed.
“Whoa, you ask really damn right questions.”
A sigh came out of my mouth. It would have been easier if I had asked him to tell me about the sword, how to spread it well, or the important elements of the sword. But that guy penetrated this side of life with questions. It was a really difficult question to answer.
“I think it’s an illusion to show the enemy.”
“fantasy?”
“No matter how splendid and fancy swordsmanship is, the ultimate goal is the life of the enemy. It is a fantasy sword that shows an illusion that does not exist in reality to the eyes of the enemy and then cuts the head.”
“Enemy’s gaze….”
“Those who learn the Phantom Sword for the first time. No, even those who have trained the Phantom Sword for a long time have misunderstandings.”
Dogoe drew his sword. Without even preparing, the extended blade rotated in a circle and blossomed into beautiful sawtooth petals.
“like this.”
He turned his chin to the side as he retrieved the sword.
“Thinking about how my swordsmanship will look from the point of view of the enemy, not from myself, is the key to a fantasy sword.”
“hmm.”
Raon closed his eyes, feeling the remnants of his aura still lingering in the air.
‘I see what you mean.’
I feel like my head is broken. enemy, not me. Thinking about how to show the illusion of what kind of intention in what way to the enemy was the true intention to unleash the best fantasy sword.
‘This could be applied to other swordsmanship.’
It was advice that could be applied not only to the Hwansword, but also to other swordsmanships, including the Quicksword.
The tone of the sword was light, but inside it was the magic of the phantom sword he had learned over several decades.
“You’d better use a mirror.”
“okay. When learning the Phantom Sword, the most necessary thing is a mirror rather than a sword.”
“Thanks for the advice.”
Raon politely bowed his head to Dogoe. I didn’t know you would give such sincere advice, so I was just grateful.
“done. It’s nothing.”
“no. It really helped me a lot.”
I nodded my head once again.
“Um…”
Do-Hae’s blunt reaction slightly melted as if he was satisfied with the sincere greeting.
“There is something I haven’t told you either.”
“What is it?”
“If the commander-in-chief beats me to drinking or gambling, I’ll let you go right away.”
“Am I really?”
“sure.”
Raon smiled.
“Then right now…”
“I finished yesterday, but it’s not right to do it right away. This year is over, challenge next year.”
“Keep it!”
He lowered the hand he was about to raise and bit his lip.
– Huh.
Lars sighed as he climbed onto the bracelet.
-There is no chance that old man will win you with gambling and drinking. By feeding him hope, he made that old man do his job well. He’s a nasty and nasty guy.
The boy shook his head in admiration.
– It’s to the point where the main king wants to learn how he thinks like that. Aren’t you going to give a lecture?
‘no.’
Raon smiled and took a step closer to the Do-hoeok.
“one more.”
He raised his finger and spoke.
“If you think I can’t live up to your expectations, you can leave at any time.”
“Can’t meet expectations?”
“yes.”
“If you’re saying it’s okay for me to leave right now?”
“Of course it is. But I know you won’t.”
Raon smiled lightly.
‘I’m not that kind of person.’
Do-goe cheats on gambling and taunts opponents, but does not give severe penalties when he loses.
It only kicks them out with their clothes off and keeps giving them opportunities. Even when fighting himself, he never threatened his life or attacked a fatal place. Judging from the fact that he came here to keep his word, he was a human being worth getting along with.
“Big.”
Do-goe furrowed his eyebrows as if he didn’t like it. My ears were burning red.
“He’s a guy I really don’t like.”
“I wish you well in the future.”
Raon smiled and headed to the place where the Gwangpungdan members were to finish the training.
-Oh oh!
Lars jumped up and leaped into the air.
-This time, it’s a mind-blowing job! After all, you are not a human, but a demon. To the king…
‘It’s not really.’
I laughed and pushed Lars away.
“That guy.”
Do-goe looked at Raon’s back and let out a muddy breath.
“What the hell is that guy? Which one is real?”
The old gambler he showed at the gambling house, the demonic figure he played tricks here, and the courteous and courteous look he showed earlier seemed like different people.
It’s to the point of confusion about which one is the real Raon Sieghart.
“It’s all Raon.”
Rimer shook his hand as if he were accustomed to it.
“That guy is just like that. Seeing what you say, you must have liked the inspiration too?”
He chuckled and tapped the do-goe on the shoulder.
“joy! I don’t care what a young guy like that does.”
Do-goe took his back from the podium with an annoyed expression on his face.
“Being here makes me feel stuffy. I will go.”
“for a moment.”
As he was about to leave, Rimmer grabbed him by the sleeve.
“I have a place to go with me.”
“Where to go?”
“The head of the household called for inspiration.”
Rimer pointed at the Gajujeon in the distance.
“Did you say that?”
“Why do I bother doing that? The old man has returned, but it makes no sense that the head of the family does not know.”
“Well, I guess I should say hello.”
Dohae scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
“Then you’d better be careful.”
Rimmer twirled his fingers and grinned.
“I might have gotten a little feverish.”
* * *
“Meet the Lord.”
Dohae knelt in front of Glen Sieghart and bowed his head.
“It’s been a while since I saw you.”
Glenn let go of his hand and nodded slightly.
“Looks like you had a lot of good things.”
Dogoe smiled and stood up.
“Good things?”
“You look much more alive than before.”
“Will you be the only one who ran out saying that you will live as you please?”
Glenn smiled coldly and shook his head.
“I thought of the past and said I wouldn’t come back, so why did you come back?”
“Whoa…”
Dohae let out a deep sigh and looked up at Glenn.
“It’s thanks to the head of the household who took great care of his grandson.”
“What do you mean?”
“Raon Sieghart. That fierce little boy…”
He told Glenn what had happened so far, as if to relieve his anger at Raon.
Rimer smiled lightly as he looked at the complaining Do Hae and Glen listening to him.
‘I don’t know why the head of the house is listening to that.’
Glenn already knows all about what happened. He is not curious about Do-Hae’s circumstances, but just wants to hear Raon’s performance from Do-Hae’s mouth.
‘It’s such a great grandchild love.’
Seeing how he values it so much and puts it away on the outside, Glenn was a really great person.
“…So I became the general manager of the annex against my will.”
Embarrassed, Do-goe let out a deep sigh.
“Is he that good at gambling?”
Glenn asked, raising his lips slightly.
“It’s about to take my mind off it. I will never lose even if I face a gambler who is famous on the continent.”
Dohae muttered that he felt despair when he gambled with Raon.
“Then there’s no way you learned anything from him.”
Glenn pointed at Rimer, who stood absent-mindedly behind him.
“There is a thing called Cheongchuleoram, but that idiot is a Hogu among Hogu. The resolution itself is different from Raon. Absolutely not.”
“aha! I told you!”
Rimmer stepped forward, frowning.
“I feel a bit dirty because I’m Hogura, but it’s really not me! It wasn’t me who taught Raon to gamble!”
“Great…”
“Apologies! No matter how many times I hit it, my bones still ache!”
Due to the misunderstanding that he taught Raon to gamble, he was struck by lightning three times. Witnesses appeared, so I couldn’t go on like this.
“I apologize! apologize! Apologize!”
Rimer hit the air with his fist as if in protest.
“sorry. I misunderstood.”
“Only in words! only words! Words only!”
I raised my voice even louder to draw something else out of this opportunity. The goal was, of course, gold coins.
“The mouth-watering sound is fine, so compensate properly…
”
As Rimmer stretched out his hand to ask for money, a bolt of lightning fell in the air and fell on him.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Literally, the thunderbolt that was triggered in an instant made Rimmer scream and fall over without even thinking about avoiding it.
“Ah devil…”
Rimmer trembled and lifted his head with difficulty.
‘Because grandfather and grandson are the same.’
If Raon becomes a little more brazen, I think he will become like Glenn. It was so good that it was not a grandson relationship for nothing.
“Harryan. There is something I want to ask you.”
Glenn didn’t even look at Rimer and gave Harrian a chin. The energy filled with unusual discomfort became a wave and hit the entire audience room.
“Please tell me.”
Do-goe swallowed a dry saliva at the sudden heavy atmosphere.
“Did the alcohol you drank with Raon taste good?”
“yes?”
“I asked if the alcohol I had while facing Raon was delicious.”
“Uh….”
Dohae’s eyes shook like reeds at the unexpected question.
“Huh.”
Rimer covered his mouth to hold back a laugh.
‘You must be angry that your grandson’s first drinking party was taken away.’
The reason Glenn’s momentum became uncomfortable was that Raon’s first drinking party was taken by Dohae. It was clear that he was upset that his grandson’s first drinking party, which he had been expecting, was taken away by an old subordinate.
“Well, I guess it wasn’t too bad.”
Dogoe nodded slowly.
“not bad?”
Anger-like heat began to creep into Glenn’s voice.
“Originally, there is no guy who can keep up with the speed of my drinking, but he rather provoked me by going ahead. It was the first time I had such an experience, so I felt strange and not alone. I felt like I was with someone after a long time.”
“Um…”
“It’s a little hard to tell from the position of being hurt by that guy, but you really took good care of your grandchildren.”
Unlike before, it is a sincere compliment. As Dohae suddenly lifted up Raon, Glenn’s immense momentum went out like a candle.
“At first, I thought he was a one-day puppy who didn’t know the subject, but now, despite his young age, he looks like Dae-ho, who has gone through all of the mountain battles and is aiming for the owner of the mountain. I encountered many talents while wandering the continent, but the real one was here.”
Do-Hae smiled lightly and placed a hand on his left chest.
“I’m sorry to the previous owner, the head of household, but I think I’ll have to take care of the young owner for a while. I cannot break the promise I made in my name.”
He bowed his head as he did.
“Huh…”
Rimer whimpered.
‘You accepted it right away like this?’
Even though there was no way he wouldn’t know that Raon was a collateral, Dohae was sincerely thinking of helping Raon. I think I really liked it while going through this.
‘Maybe it’s just an old idea.’
It seemed that Do-goe was drawing the time when he was with everyone while watching Ra-on.
‘That guy is real…’
It seems that at the end, if you don’t like it, you can leave.
Raon had no way of knowing, but those words were similar to what Glenn had said to Dohae in the past.
“Big.”
I looked up and saw Glenn. He was forcibly pulling down the corner of his mouth that was about to go up to the sky.
Rimmer laughed.
‘Because it’s simple at times like this.’
Just a little while ago, he was angry at his grandson’s first drink being taken away, but he is so happy that he sincerely acknowledges Raon, he doesn’t know what to do. He was the grandfather himself.
“Then you didn’t return to Sieghart…”
“Yes. I belong to the annex. You should listen to him.”
Do-Hae calmly said that he went under Raon, not Sieghart.
“Right.”
Glenn’s mouth and eyes swayed like waves. It meant I liked it more.
“I was the one who sent you, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Glenn frowned and nodded. Perhaps to hide the raised corners of her mouth, she naturally covered her mouth with her hand.
“thank you.”
Do-Hae politely knelt down and bowed his head, as if he hadn’t noticed the reaction yet.
“Rimer.”
Glenn called out to Limer with a look of heightened mood.
“I have something to tell you too.”
“Thank you. The reward you gave me…
” “What nonsense are you talking about again?”
He frowned and waved his hand.
“It’s not about money, it’s about the mission of the Gwangpungdan.”
