Episode 607
Raon followed Glenn into the vacant lot near the entrance to Bukmangsan Mountain.
Glenn was standing in the center of the clearing, looking up at Bukmang Mountain in silence. His shoulders seemed to be gently shaking in the moonlight, as if he was thinking about something.
“Matriarch.”
Raon called out to Glenn first and walked forward.
“What are you saying you didn’t give me?”
Glenn not only gave me a gold plate, but also artifacts and elixirs. I’ve received everything I deserve, but I’m not sure what I’m missing.
“Keuhum!”
Glenn cleared his throat and turned around. The red eyes contained a coldness like the night wind.
“Didn’t you not only save the elves, but also obtain the ledger to save the elves who had already been auctioned? This will be a great help in maintaining a good relationship with Seifia in the future. “You have done too much to stop at just artifacts and elixirs.”
“Hmm…”
To be honest, I think saving the elf and getting the ledger were in the same area, but I had no reason to refuse an additional award.
-Holy shit!
Lars jumped forward, shaking his chubby belly.
-Why on earth are you taking care of me like this? That old man has a cold face, but inside he is as soft as cotton!
The guy frowned, saying his face was fierce.
‘If you’ve had a good meal, stay still.’
-Because I don’t want to stay still…
‘I guess you don’t want to eat ice cream?’
-Sigh!
Raon pushed Lars’s stomach, who had his mouth tightly closed, and looked at Glenn.
“How well did you learn the Changgung Sword?”
“I even learned to cook sedge. Of course it’s not perfect.”
Thanks to the group’s enlightenment while dealing with the Red Flame Demon and Siran, I was able to cast the Changgung Sword, Four Chosik.
However, it has not yet reached the stage of perfect sword fighting.
“As expected.”
Glenn nodded slightly, as if he had expected that to happen.
“Starting tomorrow, come here at this time.”
“yes?”
“I will help you with your training for the next two weeks.”
He lowered his eyes and said he would teach me for two weeks as a reward for the work I had done.
When Raon heard those words, his eyes widened.
‘This is a reward greater than the elixir.’
The eyes the Master sees and the eyes the Grand Master sees are completely different. As you become a Grand Master, your scope of enlightenment has expanded, so you will be able to accept Glenn’s teachings in more detail. It was no different from chance.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn with sincerity.
“A risk!”
Glenn cleared his throat and shook his head.
“There is no need to be thankful. “It just rewards you for the work you’ve done.”
“Even so, I think the teachings given by the matriarch are more than a reward for the achievements I have achieved. Thank you.”
“done.”
He waved his hand as if nothing more was needed.
“Time is precious, so let’s start quickly.”
“All right.”
Raon raised his head and headed toward the center of the clearing.
“But your posture is okay. “I take my sword with me every time I’m called.”
“As a prosecutor, this is natural.”
When I said the word “as a prosecutor,” a small tremor arose inside me.
‘A prosecutor…’
Now I can naturally call myself a prosecutor without thinking about it. I felt like the darkness of my previous life as an assassin was erased a little more.
“Try all the sword techniques you have learned.”
“yes.”
I answered calmly and pulled out my sword. He raised the sword to the top and slashed it vertically. The wind on the blade cut through the cool night air, drawing a line thinner than a hair on the floor of the clearing.
Following the basic swordsmanship, he practiced the swordsmanship of Gwanga Sword, Seolpunggeomgyeol, Manhwagong, and the sword he created himself, and then held the Jecheon Sword with both hands.
‘Now the last Changgung Sword.’
The majestic aura of the lower half of the battle was filled with the firmness of the middle half of the battle and stretched out toward the sky. The four strokes of the Changgung Sword were drawn one after another, creating red and blue flashes in the dark night sky. A magnificent scene unfolded, resembling a comet rising upside down.
“hmm.”
Glenn nodded, his complexion not changing at all from his initial cold expression.
“It’s a little bit, but it’s progress. “I can feel the determination you said before that you will never give up.”
It is absurd to say that even though you went from Master to Grand Master, you have improved a little. However, since the person who said that was Glenn, I had no choice but to admit it.
“thank you.”
“but.”
Glenn’s eyes became colder.
“I see a limit to the sky you hold.”
“Limitations….”
“Your goal is visible to me. “Don’t aim for martial arts or martial arts, but draw the sky you want.”
As he said that, he took a step closer.
“What is the sky that came to mind when you drew Changgung Sword?”
“Well…”
Raon couldn’t answer right away and licked his lips.
“Say it without hesitation.”
“…I am the head of the family.”
“hmm?”
Glenn’s eyes widened as if he hadn’t expected his name to come up.
“When the head of the family unfolds the Changgung Sword. No, when I was kidnapped, I made the sword skills you showed against the White Blood Cult Leader and Tacheon my heaven.”
He told me that he was thinking of Glenn as the sky of the speargun. I was a little embarrassed to say it in front of the person involved.
“Hehehe!”
Glenn quickly turned his back. His earlobes turned red like a scarlet.
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
“yes?”
“Don’t change your goal, just go a little further.”
“I told you to change it a little while ago…”
“Uh-huh! It is still too early for you to consider infinity! Quickly swing your sword!”
“…All right.”
Raon tilted his head and raised his sword.
‘The head of the family is also very moody.’
-It’s because it’s menopause.
Lars nodded, saying he understood.
* * *
On top of Tiger Rock, halfway up Bukmangsan Mountain.
Rimmer, who had black bruises on both eyes and had become a panda himself, clicked his tongue briefly.
“I’m going to stab the sky with the corner of my mouth.”
Glenn’s mouth was curled up so long that it was not a smile but a mad smile. It’s not a joke, it felt like my mouth was really stuck to my ear.
“Well, it’s not that I don’t understand that feeling.”
I heard that he was the heaven of his precious grandchild, so it was understandable that he was so happy.
“But…”
Rimmer frowned as he watched the corners of Glenn’s mouth rise more and more.
“Why are you teaching directly? “Why don’t you give me my own room!”
The Ego Room is a legacy left behind by the first head of the family and is a special space where a warrior can communicate with his or her soul. Raon would definitely be able to achieve enlightenment, but I don’t know why he’s teaching it himself.
“Hehehe.”
Roen, who was standing on the rock, smiled faintly.
“It looks like you want to teach yourself.”
He turned around and laughed as he saw Glenn giving advice to Raon using only his voice.
“You want to spend time with Master Raon.”
“Then show it off a little bit. Tea!”
Rimmer shook his fist violently. Even now, Glenn was smiling with his back turned. If I just showed that smile to Raon, everything would be resolved, but I couldn’t understand why I was doing that alone.
“Besides, you only have one month to stay in your room. “He will probably open his room when winter comes.”
“It means making the most of your time.”
Rimmer nodded as he looked at Raon, who was sweating but not letting go of his sword.
‘It sure would be better that way.’
The more you grow and enter the room of your ego, the more beneficial it will be.
Entering the room of one’s self does not necessarily mean one can achieve uneducated growth, but most of the time, one comes out with at least one small realization. The stronger you become, the more you can gain, so it was a good idea to raise more and send them off.
“But…”
Roen looked at Rimmer with a thin smile.
“It looks like Mr. Rimmer has made a decision now.”
“You are a ghost after all.”
Rimmer held his free right shoulder and nodded.
“I wanted to open a gambling house and have fun, but when I see Raon, my heart won’t cool down.”
He tapped the sword at his waist and laughed.
“This life is ruined anyway. “I plan to write this for Raon and the children.”
Rimmer pursed his lips as he looked at the moon rising above Raon’s head.
“I hope so too.”
Roen smiled and stood next to Rimmer.
The two watched Raon and Glenn’s training in silence for a while.
* * *
Raon left the room at dawn before the sun rose.
-Ugh!
Lars yawned bitterly and rolled his eyes.
-Hey you crazy guy! Where on earth is this idiot who trains all night and goes out at dawn?
He tapped my shoulder and told me to get some sleep.
‘We don’t have much time.’
Even if you train year after year from Grand Master, you may not be able to get out of your current position. When you have the opportunity, you must do your best to swing your sword.
-You will not die fighting, but falling while training!
‘That makes you a little happy?’
-Quaaaaaaa! Pissed off! If I really just look at you… hmm?
Lars snorted without getting angry.
-Look over there!
The guy’s hand trembled as he pointed to the tray placed on the table in front of the entrance.
-It smells delicious! Open the tray lid!
‘Hmm…’
When I opened the silver lid covering the tray, there was a piece of toast with ham, egg and cheese on it.
-Keuuu! After all, home is the best! mom!
Lars called out to Sylvia while looking at the toast that had not yet cooled down.
‘This isn’t what mom did.’
-then?
‘It’s Judiel.’
Sylvia’s toast contains eggs and vegetables, and Judiel’s toast contains eggs, ham and cheese. This toast was Judiel’s work.
‘You know me well now.’
It seemed like the toast was made in anticipation of going out for training right away.
-You’ve grown up so quickly that you’re quick-witted. I like it!
Lars nodded, saying he was a good kid.
‘Is that so?’
Raon smiled, picked up the toast, and took a bite.
-It’s well-cooked all the way through! okay! Bread should be like this! Nadin bread is not bread!
Lars sniffed as if he was impressed by the taste of the toast.
‘I know. ‘It’s okay.’
Although it was a simple dish, it showed that a lot of care was put into it.
I looked in the direction where Judiel’s dorm was located, mumbled a thank you, and left the annex.
I went straight to the training hall 5 and opened the door, but contrary to expectations, a passenger had already arrived.
“It’s gone.”
Marta crossed her arms and frowned.
“If it were like before, I would have come an hour ago and already been swinging my sword.”
She snorted, asking if she had become lazy.
“I know. “It’s time to tell us we’re late.”
Burren nodded with a faint smile.
“Kuu…”
Runan was sitting down and shaking her head. It seemed like he was dozing off.
“I had an accident again.”
Marta looked Raon up and down and narrowed her eyes.
“How did you end up saving the country of the elves?”
“That’s not all, I also heard the sound of the Spirit King’s older brother.”
Burren let out a sigh as if he was dumbfounded even as he spoke.
“Kuuuu…”
Runan was still dozing off.
“I was lucky in many ways.”
Raon looked at the three people and shrugged his shoulders.
“What kind of luck is that guy!”
Marta shook her head and told me not to say anything like luck.
“Really. “I couldn’t win alone.”
It wasn’t a lie because without Shi Yan’s help, he would have been killed by the Red Flame Demon.
“Are they those masked guys again?”
Martha clenched her fists, thinking of Eden.
“But have you become stronger again?”
Burren looked Raon up and down and tilted his head.
“The atmosphere has changed for some reason…”
“I ate the fruit of the World Tree.”
“The fruit of the three world trees?”
“You’re crazy. “Are you really taking all the elixirs of the continent?”
Marta blinked, saying it was absurd.
“I was curious about that. Is it delicious?”
Buren tasted the fruit of the World Tree, curious about its taste.
“To be honest.”
Raon closed his eyes, remembering the taste of the World Tree fruit.
“It tastes like Nadine bread.”
“dog sound!”
Marta shook her head.
“Does that make sense?”
“I can’t believe it either. There’s no way the fruit of the World Tree tastes like Nadine bread.”
Buren also frowned as if he couldn’t accept it.
“Coooooo!”
Even as Runaan dozed off, she shook her head, saying that didn’t make sense.
“It’s true…”
It was true, but looking at his expression, I thought he wouldn’t believe me, so I gave up explaining.
-It’s natural that those guys can’t accept it.
Lars nodded calmly.
-I still don’t believe the king who ate it himself, so do you think I will believe them? How can the world tree be a rubber tree? This is so expensive!
For the first time in a long time, the guy’s eyes widened and he shouted that he would burn the World Tree.
Raon kicked Ras away and looked at Burren and Marta Runan.
“The world tree is gone. What are you doing at this hour?”
“What’s going on? “I’m practicing at this time every day.”
Martha shook her head as if wondering what she was talking about.
“that’s right. “I have been practicing at this time every day since you left.”
Buren also laughed, saying that training at this time has become a daily routine.
“Hehe…”
Runaan let out a deep breath as if receiving those words.
“Hmm…”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Buren and Marta Runan in turn.
‘Everyone has definitely grown.’
Although his growth was not as rapid as that of him who ate the fruit of the World Tree, he felt a higher level than before. It seemed like he trained hard while he was at Seipia.
“In the evening, Lord Hyeonmu Jeon helped me with my training. “I learned a lot there too.”
“Denier?”
“okay. “My father comes every day and my aunt also helps.”
Marta showed an unusually bright smile, saying that the time learning from Aris was very precious.
“It’s no different from chance.”
“Hmm…”
Raon smoothed his chin, thinking about denier.
‘Denier….’
Unlike Aris and Karun Balder, Denier was a person whose true feelings were difficult to understand.
‘It smells similar to Derus, but it may not be.’
So far, he hasn’t done anything suspicious or started an argument. There was still too little information to make a judgment about it.
‘just in case. ‘Let me do some research.’
I thought I would have to ask Denning Rose to gather some information about denier soon.
‘But before that…’
There is something to do.
Raon stood in front of Buren and Marta Runan with a bright smile.
phut.
Runaan, who had been blowing a small balloon with her nose, woke up and blinked.
“Raon.”
I think I really dozed off until now. The happy face was sincere.
“Let’s eat ice cream.”
The first thing he said as soon as he saw him was ice cream. He was like any other child.
“okay.”
Raon nodded calmly.
“oh!”
-Oh oh!
Naturally, the answer came from both Runaan and Ras.
“Of course not now. “I’ll have to see it first.”
“look?”
“What you looking at?”
Not only Runaan but also Buren tilted their heads.
“What are you asking? “Of course, we look at skill.”
Martha stepped back and placed her hand on her sword.
“Look at that guy’s eyes. It’s killing me! “Get ready quickly!”
Her lips trembled as if she had already decided to fight Raon.
“I don’t know Raon, but we trained hard.”
Runaan approached and said that there was no need to spar with her, and her purple eyes widened.
“Early morning training and evening training….”
“We already told you about that.”
Burren sighed and shook his head.
“He’s doing that to check it out!”
He also understood what Raon meant and drew his sword.
“Ugh…”
Runaan listened to the story with an expression that she didn’t want to do, but a coldness bloomed from her sword that seemed to freeze her hand even if she touched it.
Raon smiled slightly as he felt the fierce, sharp, and cool power of Marta and Burren Runan, respectively. Seeing those three swords made me feel like I was back home.
“Let’s see how strong you have become.”
He nodded and came forward.
“If you hit me with a sword, I’ll give you a break right away.”
Raon pointed his finger at Buren and Runan Marta, telling them to attack.
“What if I can’t feed it?”
Runaan tilted his head.
“Then keep fighting.”
Raon quenched his appetite while looking at the three people’s trembling eyes.
“Just say from the beginning that you will spar all day!”
Buren screamed as if he was dumbfounded.
“They say you can rest as long as you feed Ilgum. “It’s not difficult.”
Raon shrugged his shoulders, saying it was easy.
“After becoming a Grand Master, not only did my skills improve, but my grumpiness also improved.”
Buren sighed.
“You’re back. “The Demon King of Training.”
Martha chewed her lip and raised her sword.
“good. It shows we weren’t playing around either. die!”
She rushed forward and thrust her sword, and Burren and Runaan also attacked to the left and right, respectively, pouring out sword strikes.
“Let’s play.”
Raon curled his mouth as he watched the three dazzling swordsmanship.
“All day.”
-Huh…
Lars shook his head.
-Isn’t this really perverted?
* * *
Quaaaaaaa!
Blue brilliance rises above the black sky. A spectacular sight was drawn as if there was a huge hole in the center of the sky.
Glenn nodded, looking at the sky that seemed to have fallen.
“Is this the fifth time? “It’s okay for this week.”
“Thanks to the matriarch.”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn.
“As you know, it is far from perfect. “Still, I’ve only created a framework, so push yourself and try to complete it.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Then let’s go.”
Glenn nodded and turned his back, as if he had finished everything he had to do.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head on Glenn’s back. When I raised my head again, he was already gone.
‘You are like the wind.’
Glenn came at exactly the right time and watched the training for just two hours before suddenly leaving. Sometimes I felt like a ghost.
‘Still, it was a worthwhile time.’
As I trained with Gwangpungdae from dawn to dusk and with Glenn from the evening, I felt my skills growing rapidly. It was a worthwhile week.
‘It’s a shame it’s over.’
I felt burdened when I was receiving instruction from Glenn, but when it was over, I was a little disappointed.
‘If I make a merit again, will you give me training?’
As I was walking back to the annex, thinking nonsense, I heard a small noise coming from the front door. When I opened the door, Sylvia was putting toast on the table in front of the door.
“mother?”
“You’re in the right place!”
Sylvia said she had come at a good time and held out the toast she had placed on the table.
“If you’ve trained until this time, you should eat well!”
-After all, it’s just mom!
Lars rushed at Sylvia with his arms outstretched.
‘Move.’
Raon kicked Lars and shook his head.
“I’m eating well. “You don’t have to overdo it.”
“Why is it unreasonable for a mother to take care of her son?”
Sylvia shook her head and said it was okay.
“thank you.”
Raon smiled slightly and accepted the toast. It was a healthy toast with eggs and vegetables.
“Now that I think about it, I don’t see Judyel much these days.”
I asked while taking a bite of toast. Judiel hasn’t been seen since he gave her the toast on the first day. Even though he went out at dawn and came back at dawn, it was strange.
“Judiel is on vacation.”
“Are you on vacation?”
“okay. I wonder if you care. I asked you not to tell me. “I’ll be back next week.”
Sylvia shook her head, saying that Judiel was not in the annex.
“okay.”
Raon calmly nodded as if it was no big deal.
“Don’t overdo it and take good care of your health.”
Sylvia told me to finish my toast and went back to her room.
Raon put down the toast he was eating and headed to Judiel’s dormitory, not his own room.
-hmm? Where are you going other than eating? Didn’t that guy go on vacation?
‘Judiel is like a member of my family. If you haven’t told me about your vacation, it means it’s not normal.’
I forcibly twisted the locked doorknob and entered.
The interior of the room was extremely simple. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was completely empty.
However, rather than just packing up and leaving, it felt like the room was like this from the beginning.
I looked around the seemingly empty room and took out a piece of brown paper sticking out of an old desk drawer.
Raon’s eyes twisted sharply as he opened the paper.
“This….”
