Episode 315
– Awesome!
Lars let out an excited moan.
– That’s awesome. A feast of flavors unfolds in your mouth!
‘That’s fortunate.’
Raon put the fork down on the empty plate and smiled.
-This is food and this is art! These days, things are just made according to the recipe. They do not know how to put sincerity and philosophy into it.
I thought it would be very difficult for chefs these days to have to include philosophy when making food.
-more! bring more! The king is still hungry!
Lars tapped his already puffy belly of cotton candy and pointed to the buffet outside the banquet hall.
‘This made 10 bowls?’
-Only 10 bowls!
‘Eh, there is no end.’
Raon shook his head and moved towards the buffet.
‘Looking at you again.’
I could feel Mattio’s gaze standing behind Derus. If you looked at her naturally a little while ago, now it’s a blatant look. It was a gaze to see the reaction of this side.
“hmm?”
Raon naturally looked back at Matio. He lowered his head with a puzzled look on his face.
‘This is the best.’
The other person is staring at you strongly, but pretending not to know is a handshake. It was best to respond that I was curious about why you were looking at me, not that I doubted you.
‘Merlin was very helpful.’
If it wasn’t for Merlin, he might have made a mistake because of Mattio’s gaze. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was thanks to her if he was able to escape suspicion here.
-Keuk…
Lars gritted his teeth as he glared at Derus, who was enjoying wine on the podium.
-The reason why your sheep are so small is because of him from far away! The enemy of food can never be forgiven!
The guy growled, revealing his teeth to Derus. It seems to be true that it helps.
-So this time, try serving some of the pie over there. Blueberries are tempting the original king.
Raon smiled and put the food on the table before returning to the table.
“Can I have that? Eat a little.”
“I made 11 bowls of this.”
“Only 11 bowls.”
Marta looked at the bowl of food and narrowed her eyes while making a sound like Lars.
“It’s you, but the others aren’t coming.”
True to her words, Runan did not move in the ice cream corner as if a nail had been driven into his foot, and Burren was laughing and chatting with Owen’s knights.
“I will take care of it.”
Raon shook his hand and took a bite of the pie. The sweetness of blueberries permeated between the crispy sheets filled my mouth.
– Big! It is a taste filled with the sincerity of the patissier! I want to take you to the castle of the original king.
Looking at the satisfied Lars, he lowered his eyes.
Even if 20 years have passed, even if I have been reincarnated, I can remember those days when I close my eyes.
He was treated as less than human and learned assassination techniques. During training, he was chased by hunting dogs and senior assassins without sleeping properly for over a month.
It was Derus Robert who ordered those evil things, but it was Matio, the shadowy butler, who put them into practice.
It reminded me of Matio’s machine-like face, who threatened with violence in childhood and threatened with freedom after being brainwashed.
‘I can’t even leave him alive.’
The target of revenge is not only Derus Robert, but also the dark forces he cultivated. I will thoroughly destroy all of them.
‘But it’s impossible now.’
Right now, Matio’s level is not inferior to Loen, and he is more difficult to deal with because he has mastered the art of assassination.
‘The best thing now is to grasp his aura.’
Raon focused on using Matio’s gaze to explore his energy. When he tried to use the ring of fire to feel his energy, Lars’ gaze swung back.
-Two more are here.
With Lars’ murmur, the outside became busy.
cooong!
After a while, the sound of knights outside the banquet hall hitting the floor with their spears was heard and the door opened.
[Chamber, the great wizard of the movie, and the heroes of Valkar enter!]
At that cry, everyone’s eyes turned to the entrance.
As if they had just arrived, they entered the banquet hall wearing robes for the wizards and armor for the knights.
Many people entered at the same time, but what caught everyone’s attention was the beautiful woman with short red hair standing in the center. She walked through the center of the banquet hall with a confident step, her golden eyes sparkling.
Although she had a youthful appearance, a huge amount of mana flowed from her, as if it contained the sea.
“I’m here!”
The red-haired woman smiled broadly as she waved to the heads of Yukhwang on the podium.
‘This woman is the Archmage Chamber of the movie.’
One of the only three great wizards on the continent, he was a Transcendentalist who was in charge of the head of the Royal Magic Division in Balkar.
‘You look younger than me.’
Originally, the stronger it is, the slower it ages, but Chamber’s case was severe. He must be older than King Owen or Derus, but he looked like he was in his early 20s.
“Is the real Glenn here too?”
Chamber called Glenn uncle and went up the podium.
“That light mouth is still the same.”
“yes. what.”
Glenn frowned, but Chamber didn’t care and sat down next to Glenn.
“under.”
Raon opened his mouth wide. I never imagined that there would be someone who would call Glenn uncle.
‘All transcendentalists are strange.’
Shaking her head, she looked at the people who followed her. I saw a familiar face.
‘As expected.’
Balkar’s princess, Jaina, was naturally present at the banquet.
‘I guess you didn’t know I was coming.’
If he had known, he would never have come, so he seems to have never thought he would come.
“Suck!”
Jaina, who was walking with a step as confident as Chamber’s, made eye contact with Raon and let out a short scream.
“Jina?”
“Princess?”
The people around them stopped and looked at Jaina.
“Oh, nothing.”
She shook her hands and, unlike the first time, stooped and walked away.
‘I’m sure there will be one more gain.’
As Raon smiled and thought about what he would get from the petulant princess, a fierce and mighty wave soared from the entrance.
‘Come to think of it…’
Lars said clearly not one, but two. I quickly turned my head.
“Ah, an introduction yet…”
“I don’t need anything like that.”
With a floor-breaking echo, a giant without a top and wearing only a coat came inside. He seemed to be over 2m tall, his eyes were as wide as those of a beast, and he showed a firm spirit that wouldn’t come out even when stabbed with a needle.
‘The Lord of the Beasts, King Ogram!’
Looking at the ferocity of a wild beast, the attitude of abandoning manners, and the lion pattern on the dragon’s coat, he is the leader of the League of Beasts, who unified numerous tribes in the west. It was Yawang Ogram.
oh oh oh!
The banquet hall sank into silence once again at the wild air waves emanating from him.
“Glenn Sieghardt.”
Ogram walked over to the podium without looking at anything else and stood in front of Glenn.
“It’s been a while. Ogram.”
Glenn nodded his head calmly.
“Is that arrogant face the same?”
“Your cheeky eyes are the same.”
“Hahaha!”
Ogram smiled coolly and nodded.
“Your personality hasn’t changed either. Even when others said it was out of date, I didn’t believe it.”
He jumped onto the podium and sat down next to Derus.
Despite the unusual appearance of Chamber and Ogram, Glenn and King Derus Recross did not react much. It felt like that.
‘Five of the six emperors.’
The banquet hall seemed to vibrate even though nothing had been done since the six transcendentalists who could shake the continent with just one person moving were gathered in one place.
– It’s funny.
Lars grinned at the five Transcendentalists.
-Compared to your short life, you guys’ potential deserves recognition.
The boy nodded his head in admiration.
‘It’s a possibility…’
Raon licked his lips and looked at the Balkar Kingdom and the people of the League of Beasts.
‘The Twelve Stars of the Continent came one by one.’
Geniuses from the Twelve Stars of the Continent came to Balkar and the League of Beasts one by one.
‘There are more things to gain.’
With the advent of new characters, there are more things to be gained from the social gathering. In particular, I really wanted to see Muhak from the League of Beasts, who was said to have the strongest body.
– Bring some more food and eat! The number of people has increased, so it won’t be long!
‘hmm?’
I turned my head at Lars’ cry. The wizards and knights of Balkar Kingdom sat down and enjoyed a light meal, but the warriors of the League of Beasts were throwing away their food, just as Lars had said.
-hurry!
‘Ehh.’
I promised to eat as much as I wanted, so when I was about to move towards the buffet, I heard the voices of the Transcendentalists from the podium.
“hmm! It should be fun. I agree.”
At Derus’ words, Chamber raised his hand and kicked his feet.
“Does not matter. Our children will sweep away all your treasure.”
Ogram smirked as he chewed the whole pork leg.
“Then it has been decided.”
Derus nodded while clasping his hands together as if he was happy.
“His Highness Lecross, please tell me.
He smiled at Lecross, who was sitting in the middle.
“Okay.”
King Lecross rose from his throne and stood at the end of the podium. Even though he didn’t say anything, his presence caught everyone’s eyes in the banquet hall.
“Are you enjoying the banquet?”
“yes!”
Everyone in the venue bowed their heads in reply.
“It is very rare for the five of us to get together at the Six Emperors Conference, so we are preparing a special event this time.”
“If you say it’s a special event…”
“We decided to hold a dueling tournament for young warriors and wizards who will stand tall on the continent in the future.”
The eyes of everyone in the banquet hall twinkled at the word of a duel contest.
“It is divided into expert class and master class, and the winner will have the honor of being the strongest among young warriors and the prizes we hand down. The preliminaries will be held from the day after tomorrow, so participants should register by tomorrow.”
King Lecross looked at the warriors at the lotus with a soft smile.
“We will be watching the finals, so we hope for good results.”
With that said, he returned to his seat.
“Duel Tournament!”
“The people of Six Emperors see that too?”
“They even give you presents yourself!”
“it’s crazy! You must participate unconditionally!”
The warriors of the five factions gathered and started talking about the tournament.
“It will be fun.”
Marta crumpled the fork she was holding, burning her eyes.
“It will taste like stepping on elites.”
She smiled and showed her teeth, forgetting that she was also an elite.
“It’s a chance to see the martial arts of other factions. It’s good that you came.”
Burren, too, clenched his fists with excited eyes.
“Um…”
Runan seemed to be contemplating what to eat first, looking at the marble ice cream stacked in six layers on a plate, not interested in the competition.
– Raon! This royal road! The king is also there!
Lars sticks out his tongue like a puppy, looking at the mint chocolate piled on the first layer of Runan’s ice cream.
“…”
Raon shook his head at Lars. He was truly an immature demon king.
“Of course you will participate in the Seolhwa Swordsman Coup, right?”
As I walked to the buffet to get ice cream, a silver-haired young man blocked my way. Cadiz Robert, the son of Derus and ranked 5th in the 12 continents.
“I want to see with my own eyes the armed forces that pushed the North and South Alliance following the White Blood Church of Eden, and I hope you will participate.”
Cadiz smiled softly. When viewed from the side, it would be a friendly smile, but when viewed from the front, the eyes did not smile, so it seemed to be mocking.
“I’m afraid I’ll be able to fill Bluesword’s eyes.”
Raon met Cadiz’s gaze and smiled.
“As long as the rumors are not wrong, that would be enough. It will be a good time.”
‘As expected, it’s right to laugh.’
Cadiz was clearly ignoring me. It hasn’t changed at all from when I was a kid when I was stubborn.
‘It would be better to accept the dispute here.’
Cadiz had an arrogant and cheeky temperament, and had a double attitude, unable to tolerate provocations from others. I decided to respond with a counter-provocation.
“I enjoy fighting opponents of a similar level, but I don’t know if that time will ever come.”
‘You can’t satisfy my pleasure,’ he said with a smile.
“…You have great confidence.”
“There wasn’t much, but the blue sword acknowledged it, so it came alive.”
“Mmm.”
Using the words he had said, Cadiz swallowed a moan without being able to speak.
“I hope to see you in a duel.”
His voice cracked.
“I don’t know if it’s possible, but as long as you enjoy it, I’m happy.”
Raon nodded and passed by Cadiz.
His expression didn’t break or generate momentum, but the calm atmosphere began to wave.
‘Of course.’
Cadiz’s inside must be bubbling as he came to provoke but was counter-provoked by his much younger self and couldn’t find anything to say.
‘ah!’
Raon stopped to put ice cream on his plate.
-hmm? What are you doing if you don’t?
Lars tapped on the shoulder as if asking what he was doing.
Raon smiled coolly while looking at the ice cream mixed with the two colors.
‘If this goes well…’

Derus Robert’s accommodation after the banquet.
Matio stood in front of Derus, who was sitting with his legs crossed.
“How was it?”
“I can’t confirm it yet, but from what I’ve seen so far, it doesn’t seem like it.”
Matio lowered his head as if to apologize.
“no?”
“Assassins have a unique gait. I always walk on my toes, not my heels, so I can assassinate my target at any moment. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary walk because it shouldn’t be obvious again.”
He continued by pointing directly to his shoes.
“But Raon Sieghart’s shoes were all worn out, and his gait was that of an ordinary swordsman or knight.”
“Even the shoes?”
Derus narrowed his eyes. It is said that people can change their gait because they have a lot of eyes, but the fact that the shoes are equally worn means that they have been walking that way before.
“That’s not all. Even when eating, Assassins are on guard so as not to be seen, but he did not show that. I went back and forth to the buffet more than 10 times and just enjoyed the food. He was quite a glutton.”
Matio furrowed his eyes in surprise.
“Finally, when I watched it outright, there was no unnatural reaction. I didn’t see combat, but I was far from an assassin in everyday life.”
“Hmm…”
Derus licked his lips while resting his chin on his fist. He looked out the window with a look of displeasure and nodded.
“Can you confirm it by looking at Raon Sieghart’s battle?”
“yes. If it’s a battle where you have to show your full strength, you can never hide it.”
“I put you in as a referee for the dueling competition. Make sure to check his condition up close.”
“All right.”
Matio nodded and disappeared from the room. After a while there was a knock on the door.
“come in.”
Derus beckoned, the door opened and Cadiz Robert entered.
“Did you call?”
“I tried to provoke you, but I was provoked in reverse.”
“You heard that again. Embarrassed.”
Cadiz smiled without changing the color of his face, but his eyes were seething with anger.
“Can you win?”
Darkness dwelled in Derus’ eyes as he asked the question.
“I didn’t expect the League of Beasts to come, but it doesn’t matter. Because we are ready to beat the top 4 of the Twelve Stars.”
“Then add one more.”
“Tell me.”
“If you ever meet Raon Sieghart, cut off his arm.”
“Hoo.”
Cadiz’s mouth went up.
“Glen is here, are you okay?”
“If you had put someone else in that mouth, I would have broken your snout, but Glenn is different.”
Derus nodded and smiled lightly.
“I have already seen his heart. I don’t know if it kills me I can’t move enough to cut off my arm. Even if you use a cut, your arm won’t be able to move like before.”
“I will do as you command.”
Contrary to her tone, Cadiz bowed her head politely and left the room.
“If you don’t know the answer…”
Derus, who was left alone in the room, looked out the window where the moonlight poured in and smiled coldly.
“Erasing the problem itself is also a way.”
* * *
After the banquet, Raon took the Gwangpungdan to the outskirts of the palace.
“Where are you going? Can we come in?”
Burren looked around with a puzzled expression.
“The day after tomorrow is a friendly match. I need to rest and practice for a while.”
Marta frowned, saying she had to sleep for a swordsmanship test tomorrow.
“…”
Runan hummed, thinking only of the ice cream he ate before. I felt very good.
“It’s all here.”
Raon calmed the anxious Gwangpungdan swordsmen and stood in front of the door near the small garden. When I opened the door locked with a solid latch and went inside, a well-maintained gymnasium appeared.
“This is…”
“Is this a gymnasium?”
“Did you save us to train?”
I needed a space to practice for the friendly match, but everyone seemed to be doing well.
“I asked the three princes to lend me an empty gymnasium.”
Raon smiled as he watched the happy Gwangpungdan.
“Whoaaaa!”
“As expected, the only one who thinks of us is the drunkard!”
“It’s so wide that I could use it all.”
The members of the Gwangpungdan looked around the gymnasium and smiled with satisfaction.
“It’s late today, so we should start tomorrow, right?”
“okay. Let’s practice right from dawn.”
“Prepare training clothes and equipment…”
Kuuuung!
Gwangpungdan, who had been talking about training tomorrow, was startled by the sound of the door closing violently and looked back at the door.
Raon was locking the door to the gymnasium.
“La Raon?”
“Is the door locked?”
“Why are you locking the door?”
The Gwangpungdan prosecutors swallowed dry saliva while watching Raon in the sudden situation.
“tomorrow? There is no tomorrow.”
Raon said that and raised his head. A blazing red eye light flashed.
“I don’t know anything else, but I’ll never see myself losing to the Robert family.”
The Robert family’s method of destroying swordsmanship could be uncovered if they were taught, so the best way was to awaken the mind and body with strong swordsmanship as before.
“Why is he doing that again!”
“Why are you crazy all of a sudden!”
“Those are the eyes during concentration training!”
Martha and Gwangpungdan stepped back with their chins trembling.
“Oh no, training is good, but let’s take a break first. You just ate.”
“okay. ’cause it’s late at night Let’s do it tomorrow.”
“We didn’t bring our training clothes and we didn’t have our training swords…”
On the other hand, Burren and some swordsmen shook their hands to convince them somehow.
“don’t worry.”
As Raon snapped his fingers, Dorian quickly approached him.
“Is there?”
“Black yes.”
Dorian sniffed and put his hands in his stomach pockets. Inside, the training clothes and training swords of the current Gwangpungdan swordsman came out in a row.
“There is one more.”
“Keuheuk…”
The guy wiped away tears and took out the black ring from his stomach pocket and put it down on the floor.
“Black circle!”
“Didn’t you break that one?”
“Damn it!”
Gwangpungdan looked at the black ring, freaked out, and stepped back. No matter how determined they were, they seemed as frightening as Heukhwan.
Raon looked at the black ring and shook his head.
“Ah, I was a bit mistaken.”
At those words, the pale face of Gwangpungdan brightened a little.
He had the intention of training, but everyone wanted to avoid the hell training with Raon.
“That’s right. I was too hasty!”
“It’s good to train, but since it’s right before the duel, it’s not good to work too hard.”
“Let’s go calmly.”
Gwangpungdan approached Raon, wiping cold sweat, as if he thought it was an opportunity.
“No, that’s not it. Because five of the Six Emperors participated. There’s a good chance you’ll run into other guys before you meet the Robert family.”
The momentum spreading from Raon was sharpened like a thorn.
“That means you have to be prepared for all four of them.”
“Uh…”
“Ah…”
Now the prosecutors, realizing that they had made a huge mistake, opened their mouths.
“Don’t worry though. Two days is enough.”
On the contrary to Gwangpungdan’s face hardening, Raon’s mouth bloomed with an eerie smile.
“Kill it now… No, let’s start training.”
