Episode 309
“Glen Sieghart.”
The blond old man, called Rod, looked up at Glenn and narrowed his eyes.
“You should know why I came here without explaining it.”
“That’s why I came…”
Glenn shook his head thinly as he looked down at the old man.
“The deal with the dragons must have already been concluded.”
“It’s not like you to play with words when you know everything.”
There was a slight anger in the old man’s eyes as if he was reprimanding him.
“What is it like me? Were we close enough to discuss that?”
Glenn rested his chin on the back of his hand and laughed coldly.
‘A troublesome guy is here.’
The blond old man in front of him is a dragon. It was also the Dragon Lord who commands all dragons.
Every time I come, I don’t bring good sounds, so I only get annoyed when I see that face.
“Whoa, that’s good. I will tell you with my mouth.”
The Dragon Lord clicked his tongue briefly and straightened his back and neck. It was an elegant demeanor that seemed to melt the word nobility.
“As I said before, your force is enough to upset the balance of this continent. It is to the extent that it surpasses even our dragon, the arbiter of the world.”
He looked at Glenn with a slightly resentful look.
“I don’t know how Sieghart’s ancestors and you were, but how humans got that kind of power, but that power is out of sync.”
“Is it out of sync?”
“The more you use your power, the more it destroys the center of the world. It means the power to escape even the law of causality.”
“Doesn’t the power of dragons also break the balance? It’s ridiculous to say something from the strongest race.”
Glen snorted at the Dragon Lord.
“We are slowly building our strength over a long period of time. It is different from you who reach the sky in a short time of less than 100 years.”
The Dragon Lord drew a long line with his finger and frowned.
“Then are you saying that even if your blood relatives are kidnapped, you should stay here to die? Even if you have the power to save it?”
“You have to look broadly. Even blood relatives are nothing more than a speck in the eyes of the world. What a person who has reached the sky like you should think about is a cause. It is the flow and balance of the world.”
“You’re fucking.”
“What is that…”
“It was bullshit.
Glenn’s smile grew thicker, and a vicious life-blood welled up from him.
“When a hatchling is hunted or injured, the dragons rush in and destroy the species, I don’t know what bullshit they are talking about.”
Hatchlings are young dragons under the age of 500 and are protected by all dragons. There were also several kingdoms and families that were destroyed by a group of dragons after touching hatchlings.
“That’s…”
The Dragon Lord frowned, unable to answer.
“We are different from humans! Because dragons have a mission to protect the balance of this continent and mediate any distortions…” “
Is it a dual attitude that in the end it will work for you and not for us? It’s ridiculous for a continent’s protector and mediator to say. Well, it’s like that every time, so he must have missed it then. No, is it true that he ran away?”
“Keuuuk ….”
“The balance of the continent. I’ve been fooled by that tongue before, but this time it’s different.”
Glenn glared at the Dragon Lord with terrifying eyes.
“My grandson is worth more than hundreds of your hatchlings. I have no regrets about my actions, so stop shutting up and leave.”
“You should have known.”
The Dragon Lord bit his lip without backing down.
“You don’t have much time left. Thanks to this incident, that short time must have been reduced.”
“….”
“Glen Sieghart. The cause you left behind will have huge consequences that will overwhelm this family. Think carefully from now on…”
“Again bullshit.”
Glenn’s dry voice choked the Dragon Lord’s throat.
“I take all the karma I have accumulated. I am not handing it over to anyone.”
“If you do that kind of thing, no matter how you are…”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t reach the sky.”
There was not even the slightest wavering in his serious eyes.
“Because neither before nor now, I haven’t walked on a set path.”
“Umm…”
“One more.”
Glenn’s gaze turned to the Dragon Lord. A chillingly sharp air wave erupted from his hardened eyes.
“If you ever touch our children, you better be prepared. Regardless of whether the continent collapses or perishes, I will sever the heads of all dragons in the world.”
He took a swordsman’s hand as if he were going to fight right away.
“Whoa, that’s how it ends. We have no intention of fighting you. It’s just…”
The Dragon Lord sighed and raised a finger. The back of him parted and the dimension opened just like when he first appeared.
“If you disregard my advice, you will surely regret it. Glen Sieghardt.”
He shook his head and disappeared into the dimension.
“regret?”
Glen let out a cold laugh as he looked at the space where the Dragon Lord had disappeared.
“I always have regrets.”
* * *
Jjigiying!
The black marbles that covered the gymnasium split open and Raon and Dohee came out at the same time.
“Big.”
He frowned as he watched the sword system disappear.
“I increased the number of black blades, but the speed of adaptation became faster…”
He opened the sword world more seriously than in the first confrontation, but Raon broke the sword world much easier than before. It was absurd, so I just laughed out loud.
‘It’s not just about getting stronger.’
He’s approaching the sword world.
Looking at the location of the specially hidden blade so that it could not be picked up even by sound, it was clear that Raon had not simply ascended to a state and aura, but had stepped forward to the true intention of the sword world.
‘I don’t have anything else to say except that he’s crazy.’
Raon is now a 19-year-old kid. While others were barely able to fly swordsmanship, this monster was not enough to reach the master intermediate level, so it approached the sword world.
It felt like my soul was being pulled out of my body.
“What the hell are you doing in Eden?”
No matter how you think about it, it’s not the level of the kidnapped guy’s power. It seemed like he had taken the elixir and received swordsmanship training from someone.
“Um…”
Raon smiled lightly as he looked at the embarrassed Do-Hae.
“If you think about it now, you could call it training.”
He took two elixirs from Merlin, fought with the Golden Face, developed a sense of combat, and even absorbed his soul by wearing a mask. After all, it was no exaggeration to say that he had trained more than when he was here.
“Whoa, my head hurts. I’m sick of it. Tired.”
Do-goe muttered that he needed to drink and left the gymnasium.
“Hmm.”
Raon sighed as he lowered his sword.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate.’
I was just excited, but after the end, my appetite was slightly bitter. I wanted to swing the sword a little more.
‘I’ll have to go find Danju tomorrow.’
-Pick up your ears?
‘okay. I think it would be nice to warm up lightly to see how much my aura has increased.’
-…I can hear the music again.
Lars sluggishly closed his eyes and prayed for peace.
‘I’ll just do it in moderation.’
– The king assures me. There will be a difference between the moderate level of yours and the moderate level of mint chocolate and cookie.
‘Quank is better, right?”
-What nonsense! Of course, mint chocolate wins!
‘I don’t think so.’
Just as Lars and I were chatting away and trying to practice swordsmanship alone, the gymnasium door opened again and Chad, the non-banquet owner, came in.
“Non-banquet lord?”
“Laon. Long time no see.
Chad stepped forward and smiled lightly.
“yes. long time no see.”
Raon lowered his head and looked at Chad’s condition. He couldn’t look into his eyes properly and had an awkward expression.
‘Come to think of it…’
When Chad gave information about Gran Seville, there was nothing about the 7 apostles, let alone the 10 apostles. It seems that he suffered because of the kidnapping case.
‘Actually, it’s not the banquet’s fault.’
Denning Rose, the head of the Black Market branch in Gran Seville, did not know that the apostle and Merlin existed, so it was only natural that the non-banners in this faraway land would not know about their existence.
‘But apart from that…’
Still couldn’t trust Chad. Because there were so many suspicious parts in his actions.
“sorry.”
Chad bowed his head right away, despite his status.
“I should have looked into it a little more closely, but I made a mistake and caused trouble to Raon. I’m really sorry!”
“no.”
Raon waved his hand. I expected an apology to some extent, but I didn’t expect it to be so polite.
“Even the black market people didn’t know, so it’s unreasonable for the non-banquet to know the existence of the 10 apostles or Merlin.”
“Even so! As a non-banquet owner, I didn’t do my job properly!”
Chad straightened his back and lowered his head.
‘Never look bad!’
I was convinced through this work. The person the head of the household cherishes most in the family is Raon Sieghart, the youngest grandson, not a son or daughter. If you look at this person wrong, give it a non-banquet or something, and only your neck remains overnight.
“Don’t do this.”
Raon grabbed Chad by the shoulder and forced him to stand up.
‘As expected, this person is strange.’
As I said, this is not the banquet’s fault. I could apologize, but there was no need to do it in such a drastic way.
‘It looks like he’s coming out like this to gain trust…’
The more I think about it, the more Chad’s actions and words are exaggerated. I can only doubt
‘Is it Karun or Balder? No, it could be another direct line.’
Since the war on the outside was over, there was a good chance of a fight or an incident inside again.
“Please accept this.”
Chad held out a neck gauntlet.
“This…”
“It’s a medicine. It’s something that boosts your stamina and spirit. I heard that it was all healed, but I brought it just in case.”
He also took out a booklet from his pocket.
“I wrote down the people and situations to be careful of at this Six Emperors Meeting. Please note!”
“Uh…”
“Then I’m done.”
Chad lowered his head again and turned around.
‘good. Perfect.’
I couldn’t help but make a mistake, but the handling afterward was perfect. Looking at Raon’s expression, it seemed that he had been eaten well.
‘It has to be.’
He also gave information about the Six Emperors Conference to expensive medicines, so you won’t be able to resist it if you don’t like it.
Chad left Field 5 satisfied with the results.
…
Raon frowned at Chad’s back as he walked away.
‘Isn’t it strange?’
-Nothing is free in this world. Seeing how he treats people he’s not familiar with so well, he’s the one to be wary of as the number one priority.
Lars looked at Chad and muttered something strange.
‘also.’
Even when I was training as an assassin, there was a saying not to trust kindness that is given for no reason.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he touched the medicine Chad gave him.
‘Chad…’
He’s someone to watch out for.
* * *
One week later.
Numerous swordsmen were lined up on both sides of Sieghart’s main gate. It was an arrangement to see off Glenn, who was leaving for Owen.
‘Um…’
Laon was also standing in the center after preparing for departure, looking at the back of Gwangpungdan.
‘Marta looks fine too.’
Martha didn’t seem to give up or despair. On the contrary, he seemed more energetic than usual.
“Beren and Runan are still the same.”
Burren smirked with joy at just attending the Six Emperors Conference, and Runan abandoned his sharp eyes and looked up at the sky with blind eyes like before. I was relieved to see a small butterfly flying over my head and not moving even when I sat on it.
‘But these guys…’
Have you been training all this time?
I didn’t see him pecking his nose at the gym for two weeks, so I thought he was playing and eating, but it wasn’t at all.
Gwangfengdan swordsmen raised both their aura and realm in this short amount of time.
Seeing that he has clearly developed, it seems that he trained without sleeping properly.
‘It’s amazing.’
Looking at the achievements of the swordsmen, he wondered if it was actually him who was lazy. I felt admiration and admiration at the same time.
– You don’t have to think too much.
Lars shook his head as he watched the mad wind from above his head.
-Because those who know their helplessness and try to overcome it become stronger.
‘Powerless?’
-Didn’t you see you being kidnapped right in front of your eyes? The despair at that time became the driving force that moved those children.
‘…is it.’
My heart was burning hot because I thought I knew what the Gwangpungdan was thinking when they swung their swords even during breaks.
“The head of the household is coming!”
At the majestic voice that came from behind, the swordsmen standing on either side and the swordsmen waiting to start all knelt.
“Meet the head of the household!”
Raon also knelt down and bowed his head. With the sound of footsteps carrying pados, Glenn passes by. As I grew older, the formidable helplessness that I felt flowed over my shoulders and made goosebumps rise.
“Wake up.”
Glenn was at the forefront this time as well, and mounted the horse. I had felt it before, but he seemed to be the leader who had the tendency to stand in front of his subordinates and clear the way first.
It was the complete opposite of Derus Robert, who unconditionally sent his subordinates first.
“I don’t ask for much.”
Glenn looked back. Red eyes were calm.
“Just show me what Sieghart contains.”
He left those words and went ahead. Rowen followed from the left and Cheryl moved from the right.
The Cheongeomdae raised a huge sword energy to protect him.
The sight of them blindly following Glenn without even suspecting it seemed like they were watching a mad wind for themselves.
Raon clenched his fists as he looked at Glenn in front.
‘I don’t intend to become the head of the household, but I want to become like the head of the household.’
I didn’t want to resemble his absolute powerlessness, but I wanted to be a person who fights in front of anyone and leads his teammates with his back.
Raon moved forward, carving Glenn’s back into his eyes and head.
* * *
“Whoaaaaaa!”
“Long live Sieghard!”
“Glen Sieghart!”
“The King of the North! King of the North! King of the North!”
When they arrived at the city of Tortin near Owen’s kingdom, citizens came out and said Sieghart’s name. No, they cheered the name of Glen Sieghart.
All eyes were on Glenn. It was only natural that he had defeated the White Blood Religion and Tacheon alone, which were disasters for ordinary people.
The Sieghart swordsmen crossed the city with proud steps, as if Glenn’s praise was directed at them.
“Yaaaaaa!”
“The King of the North! King of the North!”
“Glen Sieghart!”
Glenn, who did not respond to the cheers and gestures of the people and headed toward the accommodation, turned around. He looked at Raon and gestured as if to come forward.
“Did you call?”
Raon stood next to Glenn and matched their steps.
“Can you hear this cheer?”
“yes.”
“It is all because of me that they are calling Sieghart’s name.”
Glenn looked back at the people with cold eyes.
“That kind of cheer comes out because I defeated the White Blood Religion Master and Tacheon.”
That’s right. Most of the cheers were Glenn’s name.
“Then what would happen if I disappeared?”
“That’s…”
I didn’t know exactly what to ask, so I didn’t answer at first.
“That cheer spread on the dirt floor to Sieghart. No, the malice that was oppressing me will rise like a fire. What will you do if they all aim for Sieghart?”
“…”
Raon slowly lowered his eyes. Glenn seemed to be thinking about his death.
I don’t know why I’m asking myself, but I’ve been thinking about the future in order to sort out my recent thoughts.
‘In the past, he would have left.’
If it had been before he was kidnapped by Eden, he would have left the family with only the people in the annex. Because Sieghart was a place that had no meaning to him.
‘But it’s different now.’
As a result of this incident, the Sieghart that was embedded in his head changed drastically.
family name and people. After leaving the annex, he now has an inseparable relationship with the name Sieghart. If the family was disappointing, I could cut off the dirty parts, but I couldn’t leave.
‘Then I’ll have to do what I do best.’
Even if it was small, I wanted to do something that would help this family.
“I will roll.”
“Roll? What do you mean?”
“I will make the swordsmen in the family stronger by rolling them to the brink of death. Fear the name Sieghart, not just one head of the family, Glenn Sieghart.”
Raon looked at the slowly sinking sun and smiled lightly.
“The sun sinks and then rises again. I think the family name is the same. Even if the head of the family disappears and the family sinks for a while, I will roll everyone to create a solid foundation that will not be broken so that it can rise again.”
“Does that mean you’re going to be the head of household?”
“I don’t think so. I just do what I have to do in my position.”
He shook his head resolutely because he was really not interested in the position of head of household.
“I see.”
Glenn gave a stiff nod and looked away. It seemed like he wasn’t interested anymore.
‘Ummm…’
Raon licked his lips and went back.
‘Isn’t it something I don’t like?’
Still can’t help it. I said it honestly and I have no regrets about it.
* * *
That night.
A huge echo arose from the mountains surrounding the city of Tortin.
“Whoa…”
Glenn let out a thin breath as he leaned against the huge boulder that had been split in half.
“How wise you are.”
I asked Raon a question about the future and thought there would be only one answer.
The answer was that he would grow stronger and become the wall of the family. It’s trite, but it was the answer that best suited the situation. Anyone would have answered that.
But Raon was different.
‘I’m going to roll everyone…’
It doesn’t mean that I’m going to be strong alone, but I’m going to be strong with others. My heart was pounding at the words that I would grow as a family rather than as an individual.
‘Because that was my goal after gaining enlightenment.’
Raon had already arrived at the real goal he had reached after wandering for a long time. I was so happy I couldn’t help laughing. I barely restrained myself from wanting to hug Raon tightly.
“Aren’t you a really proud child?”
“sure.”
“of course.”
At Glenn’s question, Cheryl and Loen, who were standing next to each other, nodded at the same time.
“Raon seems to have realized what a family is through this incident.”
Cheryl smiled softly.
“yes. Not only your strength, but your spirit is also growing. I look forward to the future even more.”
Loen also laughed happily at Glenn.
“I’m not saying this because he’s my grandson, but he’s going to grow up. Everyone should know what kind of kid Raon is.”
Glenn frowned in annoyance.
“First of all, write down what the child said today. It can be a model for everyone.”
“Whoa…”
Rimmer sighed as he looked at Glenn.
“No, first let me know that you care for your grandchildren.”
