Episode 357
Addis Sepia’s office door quietly opened, and the butler Rigwin entered and bowed her head.
“Sovereign Lord. It’s done.”
“Hmm…”
Addis, who was looking at the papers, stopped her pen and raised her gaze.
“How did it go?”
“Of course, it ended with the victory of the White Sword Dragon.”
“Right.”
“There was just something a little odd about it.”
“What’s unusual about it?”
“yes. He broke the river with his sword.”
“…is that possible?”
Addis gasped and put the pen down.
“I have never seen anything like that. Maybe it wasn’t improvisation, but he wiped out Mark Goetton’s strong points without a single scratch. It was more than a rumor.”
Riggin frowned in amazement.
“Looks like my eyes aren’t gnarled yet.”
Addis smiled and nodded.
“How is Dorian?”
“I’m injured, but it’s not serious because the white sword dragon intervened when it was appropriate.”
“Ghuo…”
Addis let out a very brief sigh of relief.
“There is something unusual about Master Dorian’s sparring.”
“What is it this time?”
“Brother Dorian has defeated Toten Lovell.”
“what?”
Addis hit the desk and jumped up. It was a reaction that was hard to see from a cynical personality.
“Is that for real?”
“yes. It was difficult at first, but after realizing it, I climbed to the top of the Expert level and brought Totten Lovell to his knees.”
“Then Dorian’s injuries are…”
“The wounds inflicted by Mark Goetton. He didn’t back down even in front of the river and held on until the end. I got to see Master Dorian again.”
Ligwyn smiled softly.
“haha!”
Addis giggled and circled around the desk.
“That child went all the way…”
“Your will was strong. Not only her appearance, but her personality also made her look like a little mistress.”
“…okay. They looked alike.”
Addis nodded and sat back down. A soft smile bloomed on his lips.
“What happened to Palen?”
“There was no physical shock at all, and I fainted from being crushed by the force of the white sword dragon.”
“I just fainted…”
Addis groaned when he heard that.
“Raon Sieghart. He was a scarier man than I thought.”
“yes. It is clear that he was thinking of the exams that will come later.”
Rigwin nodded heavily.
“Anyway, it seems that Master Dorian is the one who brought the biggest treasure at this moment.”
“okay. I didn’t know that an unmanned man who could become the next best man on the continent would take care of Dorian to this extent.”
Addis looked down and finished signing the last document.
“Invite everyone to dinner tomorrow.”
He put down the pen and smiled.
“I need to start the successor test.”
* * *
Raon and Dorian finished dinner at a restaurant inside the Chamber of Commerce.
– Kyaaaaa!
Lars exclaimed as he looked at the empty bowls.
-That’s awesome. With the finest ingredients and excellent chef skills, the food is bound to be delicious!
The guy laughed, saying that his expectations were met.
-Just…
‘just?’
Raon looked back at Lars while drinking the tea that came out as dessert.
-Something is not right.
‘affection? Did you say Jung now?’
-That’s right. Although these dishes are more delicious than the food of the pineapple girl or your maid, the food in the annex is more attractive. I have been wanting to eat for a long time.
‘Huh….’
I never imagined that the word ‘jeong’ would come out of the mouth of the devil. I feel it every time, but he really doesn’t fit in with the Lord of Wrath.
‘Still, I feel good.’
When he said that Helen and Yua’s cuisine was more attractive than Sepia’s top-notch cuisine, he naturally smiled.
Raon looked down after eating the apple that came with the tea.
‘But wasn’t there really Merlin earlier?’
I sensed the presence of a small animal in the tree, but I wasn’t sure if it was Merlin.
-There was an animal, but I don’t know if it was the madwoman. To be honest, it’s really crazy magic.
‘Crazy magic?’
-That’s right. Since it cannot attack in its animal state, and it takes an enormous amount of mana and time to exchange it for the main body, the efficiency is completely poor.
Lars let out a fuss, remembering the time he appeared in the form of a lion.
-It’s literally a magic made only to stalk you. I’m so out of my mind It’s a grid-level desire…
She shook her shoulders, saying that she was a really scary woman.
‘Gridra…’
It’s a name that comes out of Lars’ mouth very rarely. Guessing from the name, the Lord of Greed. It was the name of a demon king full of desire.
‘Is it the lord of greed?’
-That’s right. He’s very money-mad.
‘money? Does the Demon Realm have money?’
Raon tilted his head. I didn’t think there would be money because I thought that the demon world was a world full of violence and screams.
-Don’t ignore the Demon World!
Lars screamed, inflating the body of the cotton candy.
-Is there no money to buy things with intelligence?
‘Oh sorry.’
It was true, so I lowered my eyes and apologized.
-By the way…
‘Hmm?’
-Are you interested in the Demon Realm?
Lars’ eyes shone brightly like a well-polished windowpane.
‘Is this okay?’
I nodded my head lightly because it was an opportunity to get information about the demon king from Ras.
‘Why is that guy named Grid collecting money?’
-Is there any reason? The more money you collect, the stronger you become.
‘…The more money you collect, the stronger you become?’
Raon widened his eyes.
-That’s right. Both humans and demons invest their desires in money. Good houses, good clothes, good food. The concept of money itself shows the desire of the intelligentsia as it is.
A blue aura slowly burned in the boy’s eyes.
-grid. That nasty bastard strengthens his abilities by absorbing the desires of humans and demons through money.
Lars frowned, saying he was a dirty bastard.
-However, he is weaker than the original king even if he collects all the money in the world! If I told you to destroy all the money you saved, you wouldn’t even come out in fear!
‘Huh…’
It felt a little bluff, but it seemed real that Lars had the upper hand.
-Anyway, that filthy bastard’s story is over. From now on, I will begin to explain the history of the demon realm and the greatness of the main king. From the time the king was born,
he heard it with one ear and shed it with the other ear because it was a story that was unusual…. It was unnecessary.
‘Right.’
– You haven’t finished talking yet?
‘I heard everything.’
-…I really wonder why you were born in the human world! I will start over! Ever since the king was born…
Raon let out Ras’ voice and put a piece of apple into his mouth.
“Hey, Vice Lord.”
Dorian put down his fork and let out a long sigh.
“why?”
“It’s a little hard to say this, but it’s our third older sister. He probably won’t stand still. Since he’s never been victimized by someone else, he’s sure to get revenge…”
“I know.”
Raon nodded his head, not surprised at all.
“yes?”
“I haven’t seen such a person once or twice.”
Palen Sepia was born as a direct descendant of the Sepia Company, spending money like water and doing whatever she wanted to do, so she must have become such a stubborn person.
Having tasted the humiliation of kneeling down and bowing my head for the first time, it was obvious that I would prepare my revenge as soon as I woke up.
‘Actually, I let it go for that.’
I only scratched my pride to finish Palen. The purpose of coming here is not to bring her down, but to devour this company.
‘Of course there is one more reason…’
Raon smiled lightly as he drank his tea.
“If you bring a strong soldier and start a fight from the front, you can get over it cutely. But that won’t happen.”
Any warrior who has the potential to defeat himself must be Master Superlative or Grand Master.
There are people who move on money among those super-high masters, but they require an astronomical amount.
No matter how much she is the daughter of Sepia Firm, Palen will run out of funds and will not be able to wage a succession war.
In other words, the path she will choose is obvious.
“There’s a good chance they’ll hire an assassin.”
“If you know that, why don’t you put pressure on it…
”
Neither Palen nor the unmanned people under her direction never caused death.
Because he kept the last line, he himself did not inflict fatal wounds on them.
“In addition, the main character of this incident is you, not me. Because if you handled it badly, you would feel guilty because of your personality.”
“Ah….”
Dorian is the most delicate and gentle guy in his past and present lives.
I might regret it later, so I wanted to hear his resolution before committing something.
“You decide. Can you fight and shed blood with your brothers?”
“…”
Dorian swallowed dryly and looked into Raon’s eyes.
‘Really…’
He’s a strange person.
Even if he just goes out like a madman, he shows himself like a wise man at times like this. Even if you don’t seem to be considerate of the other person, when it’s really important, you follow that person’s will.
It feels like moving without thinking, but the end was always a success.
He is truly an unpredictable person.
‘But there are two things that are certain.’
That you are someone you can trust. And that I am a person to follow for the rest of my life.
“Whoa…”
Dorian let out a deep breath after making up her mind.
“That…”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t kill me. Don’t even cut off your green limbs…”
Raon chuckled as he watched Dorian scratch his cheek.
“These are people who have been mistreated and ignored since childhood? Even if I just thought of kicking him out somehow?”
“Even so, they are brothers.”
Dorian nodded with hardened eyes.
“okay. There are many ways to inflict pain without killing anything.”
Raon smiled and got up from his seat.
“Ugh…”
Dorian’s chin quivered as if some thoughts had crossed his mind.
“Let’s go back.”
“Yes…”
As Raon was about to leave the restaurant, the door opened. It was Dorian’s second brother, Dialun Sepia, whom I had seen in the afternoon.
“Umm…”
He was not surprised to see the color of his hair and eyes, as if he had already heard the news. Although I couldn’t avoid the fact that my expression hardened like plaster.
“This is the second greeting. It is an honor to meet the White Sword Dragon.”
He politely bowed his head.
“Sorry for cheating in the past. My name is Raon Sieghart.”
Dialun greeted properly because he had been polite on the outside before.
“You have done a great job since the day you came.”
Dialun lowered his chin slightly.
“I have an intolerant personality for the quarrels that come my way.”
“Sounds very scary. Just like a threat.”
“I have no intention of moving this side unless I hit it first.”
Raon smiled at Dialun’s sunken eyes.
“Whoa…”
Dialune sighed and looked at Dorian standing next to Raon.
“To be honest, I thought you couldn’t even compete, but you brought someone you couldn’t handle.”
He looked at Dorian with cold eyes.
“You may be the most dangerous.”
“Good to see you.”
Dorian swallowed dry saliva and looked up.
“I won’t lose to my brothers either. I am not alone anymore.”
“under!”
At those words, Dialun laughed coldly.
“Know. Dorian Sepia of Gwangpungdan.”
Dialune slapped Dorian on the shoulder and entered the dining room. Soldiers and servants following him rushed in. There was a light in each one’s eyes.
After remembering their presence, Raon went outside.
“I didn’t say anything strange, did I?”
He was confident a little while ago, but he quickly shrinks and shrugs his shoulders. He’s a really strange guy.
“It was the first time you expressed your intentions like that. It was cool.”
“Oh oh!”
“Just…”
Raon smiled and raised a finger.
“My voice cracked and I was shaking.”
“Uh….”
“Honestly, it seemed a bit lacking.”
“Quaaaaagh! embarrassing!”
Dorian clutched his head and screamed.
“It’s starting now, but it’ll get better.”
Raon smiled and headed to the dorm.
-…That’s why the original king was able to become the ruler of the Demon Realm!
‘…’
Did you keep talking?
* * *
Palen Sepia struggled to open her eyes.
“Umm…”
I felt the soft touch of the familiar ceiling and bed. It was his room.
“Why am I here… Ah!”
Reminds me of the past with a throbbing headache. It seems that he passed out because of Raon Sieghart’s momentum with his red eyes exposed.
“Shit!”
Palen jumped up and spat out a curse. The things that happened at the gymnasium flashed through my head like a dream.
“Swin!”
At her call, the door opened and a secretary in uniform entered.
“Did you call?”
“Tell me what happened.”
“After the lady fainted…”
“No, from the beginning!”
“When I arrived at the gymnasium with Master Dorian, Totton Lovell and…”
A secretary named Swin told me everything that had happened at the gymnasium.
After hearing his words, the dream became a reality and vividly recalled what had happened. It was just a situation where swearing came out naturally.
“Gee…”
Palen grabbed his long hair and gritted his teeth.
“Damn it!”
Born as the daughter of a sepia company, she knelt down and raised the white flag for the first time. humiliation. It was also an unprecedented humiliation.
‘I looked at it…’
But I tried to massage it moderately because it was half blood mixed, but when things turned out like this, I was full of murderous intentions.
I wanted to beat Raon Sieghart to death more than Dorian.
“Do you still have a connection with the assassins called Black Death?”
Palen looked at Swin with cool eyes.
“miss. They didn’t reveal their identity…”
“Shut up and answer.”
“It remains.”
Swin let out a light breath and nodded.
“Call them. Not only the older brothers and Dorian, but also Raon Sieghart. I will hit them all.”
“yes? If you touch La Raon Sieghart…”
“I know. The sanghoe may disappear. So, just contact me so I can kill him after he leaves this place.”
If I touched Raon Sieghart, the business itself could be dangerous, so I had to aim after he left this place.
“Haa…”
Swin let out a deep sigh and nodded.
“All right.”
“for a moment.”
As he was about to leave, Palen raised his hand.
“Bring a drink too. With something poisonous.”
“…yes.”
Swin brought dark brown whiskey and a few snacks and left the room.
Palen sat down at the table and drank his whiskey.
“Fuck…”
Even at this moment while drinking, Dorian’s victory and Raon’s red eyes come to mind.
I felt like I couldn’t sleep if I wasn’t drunk.
“huh?”
I was drinking whiskey without any snacks, but I heard a small cry from the window on the right. I turned around and saw a flying squirrel stuck to the window.
“go away!”
“Kikki!”
Palen threw a glass at the window. The glass broke into pieces and the flying squirrel ran away.
“Whoa…”
She gulped down the bottle of whiskey as if she wasn’t angry. After drinking all the alcohol that was full, I lay down on the bed.
“…I will kill you at all costs.”
Looking at the spinning ceiling, Palen vowed to take revenge on Raon Sieghart.
Perhaps because of the alcohol and fatigue, I immediately closed my eyes and fell into a daze.
…
‘Huh?’
Palen’s whole body trembled.
‘I can’t move my body.’
My mind was clear, but I couldn’t lift a finger. I couldn’t even lift my eyelids, so there was only darkness.
‘Did I get crushed by the scissors?’
It was the first time I had been caught with scissors, but it was similar to the situation I had heard from others.
‘Because I’m unlucky, there’s a lot going on.’
I cursed inside and flicked my fingertips to get rid of it quickly, but my whole body didn’t even budge.
‘How long until… um?’
Even when pressed by the scissors, the sensation was normal, and I felt something touching my forehead. At the same time, the eyelids and eyes began to move.
‘What is this…?’
Palen opened his eyes feeling unsure of what it was.
‘Keah!’
As soon as I opened my eyes, I almost passed out again.
A young woman with blue eyes and a red cross engraved on her forehead was looking down at herself.
The energy that bloomed from the distorted eyeballs was filled with remorse.
‘What what what! What the hell is this bitch…’
The demonic woman just looked at herself without saying anything.
My heart tightened as if it would explode at the red light in my eyes that was permeated with gloomy energy.
“Who are you killing?”
When that short word passed my ear, I felt a chilling sensation as if an earthworm was crawling into my ear.
Chicken meat rose all over her body from the wet flesh that bloomed from the woman’s eyes. But this wasn’t the end.
Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone? Kill someone?”
‘Ah…’
Every time I heard her voice, I felt pain as if my flesh was being ripped off. I wanted to scream in excruciating pain, but all I could do was my eyes.
‘Huh!’
I wanted to forcefully close my eyes, but my eyelids wouldn’t move again. It felt like my heart was being torn apart by the eyes of the woman facing me.
“Who are you killing?”
A woman’s hand grabbed his shoulder. A warm energy came in, and I felt a pain as if ants were gnawing all over my body.
‘Ahh!’
His eyes went back on their own due to the excruciating pain, but his mind remained clear. I wanted to faint, but I couldn’t.
‘Please…’
I begged for help with my eyes, but the crazy woman’s expression did not change. They were just touching their foreheads with a creepy smile.
“Say. .tell.tell.”
Madwoman’s obsession and Palen’s silent scream echoed through the Sepia Merchants all night.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
* * *
Raon opened his eyes after finishing his practice at dawn. The sunlight pouring in from the window felt good on my shoulders.
-How can you not miss a single day and do that boring thing?
Lars shook his head, saying he didn’t understand why he practiced qigong every day.
‘I’m just doing something.’
Neither boring nor annoying. Just like we breathe to live, we do the exercises to become strong.
‘If I don’t do it anymore, I’ll get tired.’
If you get up and stretch and practice as if you are warming up, it has the effect of stimulating the mana circuit inside the body.
The aura and seniority level increased and the body was relaxed, so there was no reason not to do it.
‘by the way.’
Raon smiled coldly as he looked at the door where the presence of the two could be felt.
‘It came sooner than I thought.’
-That’s right. Not stupid either.
Lars nodded in agreement.
‘Are you planning to take on an unexpected challenge from the front? Or are you going to cheat?’
I got up with a smile and opened the door. Standing on either side were Palen Sepia and Mark Goetton, whom I had met last night.
“What’s going on…”
“Please help me!”
“Please accept!”
The two burst into different cries and knelt at the same time.
“Please save me! sorry!”
Palen Sepia hit her head with tears in her distorted eyes.
“Please accept me! A servant is fine!”
Mark Goetton bowed his head with a thick bandage wrapped around his chin.
“…”
Raon opened his mouth blankly in an unexpected situation.
what is this
