Episode 648
Raon calmly closed his eyes as he watched the burning campfire.
‘It’s a bit ambiguous to use Sword Zone’s martial arts like this.’
Because Dogeomjon was a very old person and was at a high level, there were many parts that were not appropriate to convey to Gwangpungdae.
‘Do you really want me to touch it?’
Since I memorized all of Sword Zone’s martial arts and even fought in battle myself, I thought it would be a good idea to create martial arts suitable for Gwangpungdae myself.
“What are you thinking so hard about?”
While I was thinking about what to do, I heard a cheerful voice from my right.
I turned my head to see Rimmer coming out of the tent and brushing up his tangled hair.
“Are you not sleeping?”
“I slept on Dorian’s back during the day, but I couldn’t sleep.”
He watched the sky getting brighter little by little, then came and sat down next to me.
“I was thinking about Sword Zone’s martial arts skills.”
“Dogeumjon’s martial arts?”
“yes. I want to give it to Gwangpungdae, but I don’t think I can use it like this, so I thought I’d make it myself…” “
That’s good!”
Rimmer nodded as if it was a good idea.
“As you know, learning the martial arts of ascension does not necessarily make you stronger. “It’s important to find what’s right for that person.”
He twirled his finger in the air.
“Because you know kids well. “You will be able to create the perfect martial arts school.”
“I know the Gwangpungdae guys well. But…”
Raon sighed briefly as he looked at the tent where Gwangpungdae was sleeping.
“I don’t know if I can dismantle Sword Zone’s martial arts and create something proper.”
I know that I have become stronger, but Sword Zone is a warrior who has reached transcendence.
It struck me that he was dismantling his martial arts skills and creating something new.
“Well, I might fail.”
Rimmer looked up at the sky and smiled.
“But what if I fail?”
“yes?”
“If it’s broken, you can fix it, and if it’s completely unusable, you can throw it away and make a new one.”
He patted my shoulder and smiled.
“You have ample ability and time. No matter how great Sword Zone’s martial arts skills are, there is nothing you can’t do.”
“Hmm…”
Raon narrowed his eyes at Rimmer.
“I don’t have any money.”
“What kind of money all of a sudden!”
Rimmer screamed as if he was dumbfounded.
“Aren’t you just pretending to give me advice for money?”
“no! And pretending to give advice! “You’re talking too harshly!”
He gritted his teeth and asked if he thought he was a fraud.
“I’m not a fraudster. A gambler, a lazy person, with no future…”
“Stop!”
Rimmer covered his mouth, telling him not to do it.
“Anyway, if you just do it like you did when making your sword, you will be able to make a martial arts sword for Gwangpungdae without any problem.”
He nodded as if giving him courage.
“Sir.”
“huh?”
“What’s going on these days?”
“why?”
“He’s quiet when he’s with the kids, but when he’s with me, he gives me advice, so I can’t get used to it.”
“Because that’s the role of an advisor.”
Rimmer shook his head, saying it was natural.
“But…”
“Yes.”
I listened carefully because I thought he would give me another piece of advice.
“Do you really have no money? You can repay it right away next month….”
“Nothing. “I don’t have any.”
Raon turned his head. I expected him to say something else, but it was just as expected.
-Wow, what that earbud said is correct.
As I sighed, Lars yawned and climbed onto the bracelet.
-It’s not like it’s going to break down if you use it a little, so you can just keep testing it, right? Unlike the original king, his talent is limited, so it may take time, but it will not be impossible.
The guy was bragging about himself and nodded his finger as if asking him to try it.
‘okay. It would be best if I made it myself.’
Because it’s no one else.
Living with Gwangpungdae for nearly 10 years, I got to know not only the martial arts they learned but also their tastes and personalities.
Making the Muhak for those guys to use wasn’t much different from making my own.
‘It would be better to first abandon the framework of swordsmanship and swordsmanship.’
The ring of fire was operated. Developing concentration, I first disassembled Sword Zone’s martial arts piece by piece. We figured out what the pros and cons were and divided what we should gain and what we should throw away.
As I was organizing things in my head, a white light twinkled in the night sky.
No, it’s not white. A black and white crow descended rapidly.
“This bird…”
“Collapse.” “A bird of inspiration?”
Rimmer looked at the crow and widened his eyes. As he said, this crow was a communication spirit carried by Dogoe.
“What’s going on?”
“There is a letter on my ankle.”
Raon took out the note from the crow’s leg and unfolded it.
[The vice-member of the Senate is forcing a dispute in the annex. If you can, please come back as soon as possible.]
Do-kae’s handwriting. It was truly a letter from him.
“It’s an unreasonable argument…”
Rimmer furrowed his eyebrows as if he had roughly anticipated the situation.
-What do you mean? What an unreasonable argument!
Lars’ face turned red as if he was angry that there was a dispute in the annex.
‘They’re probably using their power of inspection or something to harass me.’
The Senate is basically a place for retired executives, but it also plays a role in keeping the family line in check.
It seemed like he was abusing his power to keep the family in check and harassing the annex.
‘The reason is…’
It must be because of me.
It was clear that the Senate did not touch the annex because they disliked Silvia, but because they wanted to put pressure on me instead of Karun.
-You old bastards! How dare you touch my mother? I will pull out all your beard right now!
‘I want to do that too.’
It’s just like Lars said. If they wanted to start a fight, they didn’t have to come to me directly, but they went to an empty annex, which was something only a back-alley gangster would do.
‘I guess we shouldn’t handle it like before.’
It seemed like the stronger I became and the higher my status, the more people would target the annex.
The problem will not be solved by doing everything alone like before.
“Raon. Are you going?”
Rimmer gave a look as if he knew everything.
“yes. “I have to go right away.”
Raon burned the letter in his hand as he watched the rising sun.
‘I’ll make you regret it.’
***
After Raon returned to Sieghart, he immediately ran to the annex. As soon as the annex came into view, my teeth chattered without me realizing it.
‘The annex itself was destroyed.’
The flowers and trees in the garden that had fluttered as if greeting each other were uprooted and lying around, and all the well-trodden ground had been dug up to create a yellow hill. It felt like I was looking at a battlefield.
The annex building itself was broken and collapsed in various places. There were no cracks in the window frames and there were holes in the walls, so it looked like the tattered clothes worn by beggars.
What was even funnier was that the senatorial officers only gave orders and the maids did the work of digging the ground or destroying the annex.
Even Sylvia and Helen were digging in the garden.
Raon chewed his lip and looked at the old man in the center of the garden. He was sipping his tea without standing up when he saw me come.
‘Is that guy Vice Wonju?’
This is an old man whom I occasionally encountered at family events. I felt like he was treating me like an insect, so I didn’t even talk to him, but I never thought we would meet like this.
-Is that bastard the vice-wonju?
Lars raised his fist.
– Bring down the main king immediately! “I’ll take an ice cube for every wrinkle of that old man!”
The guy grabbed me by the collar and shook me, telling me to quickly give up my body.
“That’s crazy.”
Aris twisted her mouth as she looked at the annex.
“Hey, this was way beyond what I expected.”
Rimmer also laughed as if he was dumbfounded.
“I can’t stand it. “I’ll take care of everything.”
Aris rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
“no.”
Raon stepped forward and shook his head at Aris and Limer.
“This matter will be resolved within the annex.”
This is not the first time a dispute has been raised in this way at the annex.
The reason why miscellaneous things continue to stick to each other is because there is no strength, so the annex should solve this problem and build a wall that no one can touch.
“okay. I guess.”
Aris understood the meaning of those words and took a step back. However, he clenched his fists in exasperation.
“Then I’ll stay still too.”
Rimmer also nodded with his arms crossed, saying he would watch.
Gooooooo.
Raon whirled a ring of fire. Rather than revealing his strong energy and anger, he calmed it down and approached Vice Wonju.
“…young master.”
“Uh, when did you come?”
Judiel and the maids who were digging opened their eyes wide as if they were surprised.
“Raon.”
“young master!”
Sylvia and Helen also put down their shovels and came over.
“Did you return after completing your mission? “You came back sooner than I thought.”
Vice Wonju smiled slightly and waved his hand.
“I heard the story roughly. You’ve done quite an amazing job of sorting out Sword Zone’s martial arts skills. Good work.”
“….”
Raon did not respond to Buwonju’s words, but looked at Sylvia and the maids.
His face was covered in mud mixed with dirt and sweat, and his hands were covered in blood and bruises. I had been digging for so long that my shoes and skirt were all covered in dirt.
“Are you Vice Wonju?”
Raon looked away, suppressing the desire to immediately pull out his sword and cut off Buwonju’s head.
“then?”
Even though Boo Wonju left his words, he was not embarrassed and smiled.
“What is this doing?”
“Wow, it’s a senate event!”
Instead of Vice Wonju, a middle-aged man who appeared to be his subordinate came forward.
“We are aware of criminal activity in the annex…”
“I am speaking with your owner. “The dog is out.”
Raon frowned at Vice Wonju without even looking at Crison.
“This profit!”
“Back off. “Creeson.”
Vice Wonju smiled and waved his hand at Chrisson.
“It’s just as I said. “We have received reports that criminal activity has occurred here, and we are investigating using the authority of the Senate.”
“What illegal activity?”
“I can’t tell you that.”
“Who handed over the information?”
“Don’t you know that informants must be protected? “Of course I can’t say.”
He twisted his mouth teasingly.
“Looking at this, it looks like we didn’t find anything. Why are you still here? “The inspection period must have passed.”
“Because we might not have found it yet. And the inspection period of the Senate can originally be extended three times. “Everyone is following the rules.”
Vice Wonju waved the documents in his hand, saying they were moving legally.
“I have nothing to do with this matter, but I am a deputy to the Sieghardt Senate. “I hope you show some respect.”
“Because I showed you respect, your neck is still attached to this day.”
“They said it looked like a thunderbolt, and it’s exactly as they said.”
Wonju Bu lifted the teacup without changing his expression. As a seasoned man who had ascended to the rank of deputy member of the Senate, he did not fall for provocation.
“I’ll stop here today, seeing as the Great Lord of Gwangpung successfully completed his mission.”
When he snapped his fingers, the senators spread out throughout the annex lined up behind him.
“Don’t hate us too much. “Isn’t the rule there to be followed?”
“you. “You will regret this.”
Raon approached Wonju, who was about to turn his back, and narrowed his eyes.
“I already heard that. “I thought they would at least point a knife at me as soon as I arrived, but honestly, I’m disappointed.”
Vice Wonju showed a mocking smile.
“I will meet your expectations. “Don’t worry.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
He waved his hand lightly and left the annex.
-Awww! Are you going to send it away like that?
Lars gritted his teeth.
-Go after him right away and smash his head, you know what you’re good at!
‘not now.’
Raon chewed his lip while looking at Bu Wonju’s back. Since those guys were moving legally, if they moved here at random, they could have been counterattacked.
“Raon.”
Sylvia came forward and lowered her head.
“Sorry. I said I would protect the annex, but there was nothing I could do…”
She lowered her head and trembled her shoulders as if she were indignant.
“…are you okay.”
Raon held Sylvia’s shaking shoulders and shook her head. If she couldn’t hold back and picked up the sword, the situation would have escalated.
Because everyone, including the maids, endured it, there was a legal way to break that old fox’s head.
“young master.”
Meanwhile, Judiel entered the annex and came out, handing over a black booklet.
“This is…”
“This is a compilation of information provided by Black Market and Dogoe.”
I opened the booklet while listening to those words. It was full of information about Buwonju in shaky letters.
It seemed as if it had been written with a shovel during the day and a helpless hand at night.
“I hope this helps.”
“thanks.”
Raon read the booklet quickly and nodded.
“Thanks to you, I can see the path on how to move.”
“The road?”
“okay.”
Raon twisted his mouth as he looked at both Silvia and the maid.
“There is a way to prevent scoundrels like that from touching this annex again.”
***
Raon headed to the main building after allowing Sylvia and the maids to rest.
Both the Gwangpungdae and the Gonggeomdae were waiting in front of Gajujeon.
“Is it resolved?”
Burren approached, swallowing dry saliva.
“Ha, I don’t know why there are so many people who don’t deserve their age these days.”
Marta frowned in annoyance.
“Are you okay…?”
Runan also had worry in his eyes, unlike usual.
“okay.”
Raon nodded not only to the three people, but also to all of the Gwangpungdae who were biting their lips behind him.
“What happened?”
“We’ll talk about that later. “For now, let’s just look and think.”
I waved my hand lightly and stood in front of the gwangpungdae.
As we entered Gajujeon, Gwangpungdae erased his confused expression and followed behind with a stern complexion.
It was different from before. Each of them had the air of a trustworthy prosecutor.
Raon headed to the throne room with a faint smile. The huge door was already open, and inside, Sieghardt’s executives were standing in front of the pillars on both sides.
Bu Won-ju’s subordinate, whom we had seen in the annex a little while ago, was occupying a seat in the immediate vicinity.
Gooooooo.
Glenn was sitting on the throne, resting his chin as usual, and his eyes seemed to have serious heat rather than emptiness.
Tsk.
Aris nodded at Glenn and took the first step. He took a seat next to Vice Wonju’s subordinate, and when I saw him click his tongue, he seemed ready to cut him down if he didn’t like it.
Chad was standing next to him. He showed a strangely welcoming look in his eyes, as if he had seen a friend.
Raon closed his eyes and opened them to calm his mind. He gave Gwangpungdae a look telling him to follow him and entered the throne room.
I stepped on the dust-free red carpet and knelt in front of the podium.
“I returned after completing the Gwangpungdae mission.”
“I returned after completing the Gwangpungdae mission!”
I knelt before Glenn and bowed my head. From behind, there was the sound of the wind band shouting and hitting their knees on the ground.
“Get up.”
I straightened my back while listening to Glenn’s calm voice.
“Gwangpungdaeju.”
“yes.”
“Wasn’t the mission assigned to the Gwangpungdae to patrol Sieghart’s territory?”
“you’re right.”
It was a question I expected, so I calmly nodded.
What happened at Sword Zone’s tomb was so serious that they retreated, but the original mission of the Gwangpungdae was patrol and guard.
“Why did you go to the grave?”
“Villages near Sieghart were suffering great damage due to the warriors who flocked to find Sword Zone’s tomb. “There was no end to the problem even if we continued to solve it, so I thought it was right to find the grave first to eliminate the cause.”
“Right.”
Glenn nodded briefly as if he had expected that to happen. Now that I look at it, it seems like he was asking this question not for himself but for other executives.
“Then report what happened inside the tomb.”
“All right. We immediately heard the news that the tomb was discovered while fighting the 6th Apostle of Seolgoehu and the Demon Sword Master…”
Raon nodded and reported everything that had happened so far.
Of course, he did not reveal things that should be kept to himself, such as the memories of his ancestors.
“…So, I came back after saying hello to the Archmage of Balkar and King Owen.”
When he finished speaking, the only sound coming from the throne room was the sound of out-of-breath.
Even though everyone knew the general information, it seemed like they had no idea that so much work had to be done.
“Huh…”
“I can’t believe you’ve grown to the point where you can defeat Seo Goe-hu one-on-one…”
“It’s not just that, they say you blocked the Sword Zone! No matter how weak you have become as a result of demonization, living with someone who was once a transcendent…” “
If that’s real, all I can say is that you’re crazy.”
The executives kept gushing as if they were surprised.
“Kuhuhmm!”
Glenn covered his mouth with his left hand and cleared his throat briefly. His face was as red as a ripe apple.
“It’s amazing that we fought them and won, but isn’t it even more amazing that we found the tomb’s control room?
“yes. “If it’s done well, it can be used as a training center for prosecutors.”
“I think I was more crazy when I came out of the grave than that. How did they knock out hundreds of people after a bloody fight? What kind of zombie?…”
“Haegeomji.” “It’s absurd that Sieghart’s shrine was built in such a place.”
The executives smiled and praised Raon, pointing out every single thing he had done.
“Um…”
“Tsk.”
“What’s all the fuss about?”
The immediate executives frowned as if they did not like it, but they even laughed at it, perhaps because they had been bothering the annex for so long.
“Sieghart’s sacred place! “It sounds good!”
Balder nodded so loudly that he seemed cool.
“Such a waste. “I wanted to make something like that!”
He waved his pot-lid-sized fist in frustration.
“If you did it, it wouldn’t be a holy place. “It must have smelled like blood.”
Aris shook his head and told him not to say anything that didn’t make sense.
“What you said is right.”
Denier looked at Raon and smiled slightly.
“Because the Great Lord of Gwangpung did not kill a single warrior, it became a sacred place out of respect. “It is something that cannot be imitated carelessly.”
“Well, well.”
Balder picked his nose and nodded.
“If it were me, I would have killed them all. Good job.”
He clapped Raon’s hands just twice as if he had done well.
Raon nodded to Balder and then turned his gaze back to Glenn.
“Hmm…”
Glenn was still covering his mouth as if he was thinking, but his fingers were shaking like a lantern in the wind, and his eyes were alternating left and right following the speaker like a thunderbolt.
I couldn’t understand what the reaction was.
“Matriarch. “There is one thing I want to tell you.”
I didn’t think I could figure out what Glenn was thinking even if I waited, so I spoke first.
“Tell me.”
Glenn nodded, returning to his usual dry look.
“Swordmaster is Sieghart’s ancestor, and his tomb was originally used as Sieghart’s training ground. “Since the maritime inspection was made unexpectedly, I think we need to establish ownership of the land as quickly as possible.”
Raon spoke, looking at Glenn’s eyes as the light gradually darkened.
“I have permission from Owen and Valkar. Sword Zone’s tomb is a bit far away from Sieghart, but there aren’t many other forces in between, so if you move quickly, you should be able to get it without difficulty.”
There is no particularly strong force between Sieghart and Swordzone’s tomb.
Although the Balkar Kingdom and the Black Tower are located close by, it has been recognized by Balkar, so you will be able to eat it without difficulty if you just persuade the people in the surrounding villages.
“Hmm…”
Glenn took his hand away from his mouth, tasting his mouth. His face was calm, as if he had never been nervous before.
“There is no need for that.”
“yes? But it’s such a waste…”
If you use that place as a training ground, you can develop your warriors step by step. It was a waste to leave it like this.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Glenn calmly shook his head. He waved his hand and Chad, who had been backing away, came forward.
“Lucen Village, Yupil Village, Tujan City, and…”
Chad spread the map in the air and pointed out the villages and cities between Sieghart and the Sword Zone Tomb one by one.
“Residents of the village where Gwangpungdae helped sent us a message saying they wanted to commit suicide to Sieghart.”
He nodded, saying he had done a great job.
“It’s just as I said.”
When Glenn drew his finger in the air, a line was drawn on the map between Sieghart and Swordzone’s grave.
Lucerne Village, Upil Village, Tujan City. The neutral areas that the Gwangpungdae had saved were colored with Sieghart’s golden light.
“You and Gwangpungdae drew Sieghart’s line on the map of the continent.”
