Chapter 451
After leaving Gajujeon, Raon turned around. While embracing the silver plaque he received from Glenn, he clapped his hands as he watched the windmills follow him.
“You have suffered a lot in the past.”
The Gwangpungdae fought to the death with the demons of the Black Tower and carefully took care of the wounded iron guards and hostages without even having time to rest.
He must have been exhausted in many ways because he paid more attention than during the battle.
“Let’s rest for four days starting tomorrow.”
Not only physical strength, but also mental strength would have hit the floor, so everyone was given a vacation.
“Ooh!”
“The training is so intense that it goes crazy, but when you give them a break, they give you something cool!”
“This is why I can’t hate the vice-lord.”
“Well then.”
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors smiled lightly as they talked about what they would do during their vacation.
But Burren and Marta Runan, unlike usual, grabbed their swords without saying anything.
‘Those guys…’
Raon looked at the captains’ eyes, as if a thin haze was burning, and rolled up his lips.
‘Are you going to train instead of resting?’
They said I wanted to become a master before I became a grand master.
It seemed that the promise at that time was sincere, and there was no thought of taking a break or playing.
‘I don’t know who I’m learning from, but I plan to do it properly.’
No one said they were weak, but it was proud of them to be strong on their own.
Raon turned his back, believing that Burren and Runan Marta would train on their own.
As he was about to go to the annex, Trevin and the Iron Guard swordsmen approached him.
“I owe you my life. I will repay this favor no matter what.”
Trevin and the swordsmen of the Iron Guard said thank you very much and bent down so that their waists were at right angles.
“There is no need for such a greeting.”
Raon shook his head as he watched Trevin and the swordsmen at the Iron Guard stand up.
“Thank you, please come back as soon as possible. It would be embarrassing if our Gwangpungdae rivals stopped.”
At those words, Trevin and the swordsmen’s faces hardened.
“That’s what I said…”
“That’s right. That’s what he did when he came to the Aryan family and saved us.”
Raon smiled at Trevin’s shaking eyes.
“I think. No, our thoughts are the same.”
He nodded and continued speaking with sincerity.
“I took the sword with the same intention at Sieghart, but there is no need to think about the debt of my life. As before, it is enough to raise the sword by our side.”
Raon bowed his head to Trevin and moved in the direction of the annex.
“It was only our turn this time.”
“Come back soon.”
“We will be waiting too.”
Martha Runan Burren also smiled at the swordsmen of the Tekseondae, and each of them scattered in different directions.
“We’ll have to try again later.”
“If you return late, you won’t even see our backs. Please come back soon.”
“Our rivals are only iron warships. In fact, I’m the only one close to you…”
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors left the front of Gajujeon after saying a word to the Cheoljeondae prosecutors.
“…”
The swordsmen of the Cheoljeondae stood in front of Gajujeon with their heads bowed for a long time after Gwangpungdae left.
“Whoa…”
Trevin let out a low sigh and lifted his head.
“I thought it would take a while, but I have to get up quickly.”
He looked at the setting sun and clenched his fists.
Red vitality appeared in his eyes, which had been filled with sadness.
“It should be.”
“Because there are guys waiting for us.”
“I can’t see you going first.”
The swordsmen of the Iron Guard also smiled and cast their eyes toward the sunset Trevin was watching.
Trevin calmly turned around.
“let’s go.”
He looked at the Cheoljeondae swordsmen one by one and nodded.
“We should prepare to let them go.”

Raon stood in front of the annex’s entrance. As if they were preparing dinner, the scent of appetizing dishes drifted out of the mansion.
-Huh!
Lars stretched his waist like a rubber band and flew in front of the window.
-Oh oh! Pasta and even steak ribs! That’s there…
‘Is that there?’
-Everything has pineapple in it! There is such a slope!
By smell, Lars could tell not only the type of dish, but also the pineapple in it. It was an insane sense of smell.
-What are you doing! Hurry in and sit down at the table! All dishes are cold!
‘Because it’s really extreme.’
The Lord of Wrath has little interest in fighting, but his eyes roll when he sees food.
I was genuinely curious about how he became the Demon King and why he had to acquire the attribute of anger.
“Huh…”
Raon shook his head and opened the door to the annex.
“uh?”
The infant, who was carrying cooking ingredients in a large basket, widened his eyes.
“young master!”
The infant put down the basket and ran to the porch.
“Did you bring the men from the Iron Guard?”
She immediately inquired about their well-being, as if she felt sorry for not being able to go with them this time.
“okay.”
There were some who couldn’t come back, but since there was no need to say that part, they just nodded calmly.
“Ah…”
Yua erased the smile hanging from his mouth, as if he knew the meaning of the nod.
“uh?”
“Is the Bocchan here?”
“Brother Raon!”
The ladies-in-waiting heard the boy’s voice and ran to the front door so that their feet were on fire.
“young master!
“Are you okay?”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Did the job go well?”
Knowing that she was going to rescue the missing Cheoljeondae, the ladies-in-waiting approached her with worried eyes and examined her body here and there.
“I’m okay.”
Raon smiled and shook his head.
I would get annoyed if other people approached me excessively, but is it because they are family? A pleasant warmth bloomed in my chest.
“Saving allies is the most important thing.”
Silvia smiled brightly as she came downstairs.
“Raon. It was really hard.”
She came closer and hugged her tightly.
I felt the relaxing scent as if I was lying on a sun-dried blanket.
“The Foreign Minister informed us that you had completed your mission and returned, so everyone cheered up and prepared dinner. Wash up quickly.”
Sylvia said with a smile that it would be really delicious with lots of high-quality ingredients coming in today.
“all right.”
Raon nodded his head, feeling the tension melt away.
I was about to go to the bathroom, but Lars was looking Sylvia up and down.
‘hey. What are you doing…’
– All this for the king?
Lars clung to Sylvia’s arm as if he thought it was food for himself.
-mom!
‘…’
Is that really crazy…
* * *
Raon went into the room after eating a large dinner prepared by Sylvia and the maids.
– Big!
Lars groaned and threw himself on the bed.
-This is home and this is where you live. Filling your stomach with mother’s food and lying in bed is paradise.
The guy smiled broadly as he wrote the word paradise on the subject of the demon king.
‘It’s not your house, and it’s not your mother.’
-Don’t pay attention to such trivial things. There is a bigger problem than that.
Lars raised his head from the bed and let out a low voice.
‘What?’
Suddenly, the guy’s eyes became serious, and he swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
– No matter how much I think about it, I can’t choose just four marble ice creams! I’m going crazy and jumping!
‘…’
Lars sighed, saying that he still hadn’t finished his thoughts.
-Can’t you just eat one more set? Picking only 4 out of 33 is too harsh!
‘no!’
Raon slashed the clinging Lars with the back of his hand and shook his head.
I tried to buy another set because I was so worried about it, but my mood dropped sharply with the fishing I just threw.
– You filthy bastard! How much does that…
‘Yeah. It’s more expensive than you.’
-Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
I heard three knocks while I was arguing with Lars. It was Judiel’s signal, so I got up and opened the door.
“…”
Judiel silently bowed her head and entered the room. She calmly knelt down and raised her gaze.
“I heard you bumped into a white whale. Are you okay?”
“okay. There was no problem.”
Raon nodded and briefly explained what had happened there.
“The force is not normal, but they are more loyal to their masters than I thought.”
The powerlessness of Hyeol Woon-gyeom and Baekrang-do was also surprising, but even when they were arrested, they did not tell the story of Baek-kyung at all.
I thought it was a sand castle, but it seemed to be a harder organization than expected.
“While you were away, I did a bit more research on Xin Zhuo Ling.”
Judiel muttered that she had looked into Baekkyung just in case.
“As you know, the head of the white whale is a comedy. She is based on a level of information similar to that of the black market…”
“Wait.”
Raon raised his hand. An unexpected word came out of Judiel’s mouth a moment ago.
“she? Was the comedian a woman?”
“yes. female. From the outside, he looks like he’s in his 30s, but he’s actually a lot older than that.”
Judyel nodded slowly.
“To start again, the real power of the white whale is intelligence, not force. They are said to know everything that happens across the continent.”
“Is it like the black market?”
“It’s similar, but there are some differences.”
“What if it’s different?”
“There is a rumor that the Comedian reads the heavenly spirit.”
“Cheonggi?”
“yes. It means to read the flow of the sky and predict what will happen in the future.”
Judiel pointed to the night sky where the soft moonlight was falling.
“A lot of people think of her as a prophet because the comedy’s vision of the future fits so well.”
“Come to think of it…”
When fighting Hyeolungyeom and Baekrangdo, they muttered that this was not expected.
It seemed that the reason they knew that the Black Tower was in the ice lake was because of Comedy’s foresight.
“If that’s true, it’s a terrifying ability.”
Raon moistened his dry lips.
“It is said that many famous warriors belong to the White Watch not only because of their ability, but also because of the dignity and leadership of the comedy festival. Rumor has it that they have more than one Grand Master.”
“What is the power level of comedy?”
“It has not been revealed.”
Judyel shook her head, saying she didn’t know. It was only to the extent that he had a grand master, so it was certain that it was more than that.
“Baekgyeong is a place where it is difficult to predict the movement even in Shinju-O-Lyeong. You’d better be careful when dealing with them.”
“okay.”
Raon nodded.
“It was a big help.”
I have to get information from Hyeol Woon-gyeom and Baekrang-do from tomorrow night, but thanks to Judiel, I thought I could save a lot of time.
She was no different from a fortune-teller who always sought out the necessary information at the moment she needed it.
“Then I’m fine.”
Judyel left the room with a gentle smile.
“Um…”
Raon licked his lips as he looked at the door Judiel had left.
‘I can’t even bring up the story of my younger brother.’
She didn’t talk about her sister, perhaps because she didn’t want to burden her. I was grateful for that consideration, but it came with a heavy weight.
‘I must find it.’
Finding Judiel’s younger brother was also one of the goals he had to achieve.
If you can’t get information even on the black market, you have to get it out even if you run into Karun head-on.
“okay. Somehow…”
Raon was unpacking after reminiscing about his promise, when Lars clung to his head.
-Now I get it!
‘what?’
-It’s clear that you’re taking your anger out on the king because you didn’t get anything special!
‘Can’t I get anything?’
-That’s right. At best, I came here to find the kids, but didn’t I get only one poop-colored card?
Lars frowned, asking if he didn’t buy ice cream because he didn’t get enough compensation.
‘It’s not?’
Raon shook his head. I didn’t think of that at all because the gold plate alone was more harvest than I thought.
– Don’t lie! There’s no way a sleazy guy like you would be happy with a beggarly reward…
That was when he shook his head. There was a strong vibration from the requiem sword that was worn around the waist.
Woo woo woo!
Along with the lofty sword, a message floated in front of my eyes.
[The requiem sword has absorbed all the demon energy.]
[I offer you the purified demon energy of the requiem sword.]
It was a message that came out every time the requiem sword absorbed other yin energy.
-Oops….
Lars opened his mouth as if he had never imagined that such a message would pop up.
[All stats increase by 10 points.]
[The rank of the attribute < Adapt > increases.] [The rank of the
attribute < Divinity that Blooms from Darkness > increases.]
Not only the stats, but also the ranks of two attributes went up. . I felt a new vitality rise from my exhausted body.
[The level of the Soul Sword’s characteristic, < Magic Blood >, has increased.]
Not only that, but the level of the Soul Sword’s characteristics has also increased. But the message isn’t over yet.
[Defeated enemies standing at a higher level in succession.]
[All stats increase by 10 points.]
[The grade of the talent < Sense of Folklore > has increased.]
[The grade of the talent < Poison Resistance > has increased. ]
This time, it was not a soul sword, but a reward given by the system itself.
-Ah…
Lars’ pupils began to distort as if they were about to explode.
-what’s this! What are so many of them!
The boy shook his head and shouted incredulously. It was like watching cotton candy being made.
“thanks. Lars.”
Raon tapped Lars’ trembling shoulder lightly.
“As expected, your mouth is the gate of heaven. If you just say it, the reward will automatically pop out. Anything else you can say?”
– Shut up!
* * *
The next day.
Raon went out to the 5th training ground alone and used the mad sword and snow wind sword repeatedly from dawn.
It wasn’t until the sun began to set that he lowered his sword and nodded in satisfaction.
“I’m a bit used to it now.”
His stats and characteristics rose a lot at once, so he spent time practicing swordsmanship to adapt to his current body, and it wasn’t until evening that his body moved satisfactorily.
Raon closed his fist with his right hand and smiled.
‘It looks like I’ve surpassed the Grand Master in terms of my body now.’
It is said that when you become a grand master, the process of metamorphosis occurs and you change into a body that is most suitable for your martial arts.
‘Because fraud is fraud…’
-Keueugh If you’re thankful for that, eat some ice cream! I felt like I was going to die from standing in the scorching sun all day!
Lars motioned for me to run to the bead ice cream shop right away.
‘I have to keep my promise.’
Raon nodded and swabbed the Jecheon Sword.
He buys Ras ice cream and tortures Hyeol Woon-gyeom and Baekrang-do. No, I thought I should go to the interrogation.
‘So did you choose the flavor?’
-That’s it…
Lars rubbed his round hands and slightly raised his head.
-Can’t you just make one more choice? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t choose! So many flavors!
The guy shook his head, saying that it would be a sin to choose four if he could only choose one. I don’t know what the guy who is a sin itself is called.
‘Then I’ll just buy one.’
-You evil bastard!
Raon smiled and left the gymnasium.
‘Maybe I can buy two more sets.’
Aside from compensation, Lars helped a lot in this mission. I could have bought 20 sets instead of 2 sets.
As I left the gymnasium and walked toward the shopping center, I saw a familiar face.
It was Dorian with cookie crumbs in his mouth.
“Sub-Lord!”
“What is so urgent?”
“The Baekryundae is returning now.”
“Baekryeondae?”
“yes. I was playing Nogari near the main gate, but when I came back, I went to Gajujeon!”
Dorian nodded, saying that he had come running as soon as he saw Baekryundae returning.
“But I didn’t have the strength to walk like a loser. Even the clothes were rags.”
“okay?”
Raon shook his hands with a cool smile.
‘Then now isn’t the time to go eat ice cream.’
Baekryundae said they were going to Gajujeon, so it was time to catch up and tell Glenn how stupid and selfish they were.
-Yumma!
When Raon turned to the main building, thinking about how to temper Baengnyeondae, Lars screamed.
-The ice cream shop is closing! Keep your promise! You damn demon!
