Chapter 742
“Did you say there was a passenger?”
Raon looked up at Glenn and blinked.
“Yes.”
Glenn nodded and rested his chin on his fist.
“They say he went into his room after hearing the news that we were returning to Sieghart.”
He turned to Chad and muttered that it was about time.
“Hmm…”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he examined the documents in Chad’s hand.
‘Who went in?’
From what I heard from Aris, the ego’s room is not a space that anyone can use.
Entry is permitted only after you have accumulated sufficient achievements, but there were so many people who contributed to this war that it was difficult to predict who would enter.
‘It’s probably not a direct lineage.’
Since there is only one chance to enter the ego’s room, lineal swordsmen enter just before the master or grand master and surpass the existing level.
Since most of the immediate people he knows have entered his room, he is even more unsure of his identity.
“Can you guess who went in?”
Raon looked at Glenn again and lowered his posture.
“It’s a heavy radio pole.”
Glenn said Karun’s name right away as if it wasn’t that difficult.
“Heavy radio pole…?”
Raon looked down and swallowed dry saliva.
‘Have you not gone in until now?’
I laughed out loud because I didn’t even list Karun as a candidate because I thought she would have already gotten in.
“Ever since she was young, Karun has been strangely stubborn and proud. “Even when people around me tried to stop him, he wouldn’t listen.”
A clear light seeped into Glenn’s eyes. It seemed like he was recalling Karun’s past.
“That stubbornness was the worst in his pursuit of power, but he still seemed to be uneducated.”
He looked down at Raon and smiled lightly.
“You said you’ve caught a clear clue, so when that guy comes out of the room, he’ll probably be on the transcendental level.”
“Transcendence…”
When I heard that Karun, who had the worst personality, was certain to ascend to transcendence, annoyance arose in my heart.
“Karun has clearly done something unforgivable. But…”
Glenn let out a cold voice, as if punishing a criminal.
“He has spent a year self-reflecting and risking his life to save his family, so I am trying to reinstate him. “What do you think?”
He lowered his gaze as if asking Raon’s intentions.
“I will follow the will of the matriarch.”
Raon slowly lowered his head.
‘You can think of it as paying off your debt with this.’
Sylvia said that the maid and children were able to survive thanks to Karun’s arrival.
There was no need to thank me for that and I decided to just move on and not find fault with my return.
“Regardless of that, his room is something that was originally given to him, so don’t feel bad about it.”
“All right.”
Raon lowered his head with calm eyes.
“Then, a month later, after the heavy radio pole comes out, can I come in?”
“That won’t work either.”
Glenn shook his head slowly.
“A person can enter his room for a month, but once he uses it, the room takes some time to rest.”
He lowered his eyebrows, saying it was not a place he could enter right away.
“If Karun reaches transcendence as I expect, he will need a break of more than half a year.”
He said that the period of rest is determined depending on the level of visitors, so it could be as long as next year.
-I see how it works.
Lars sat down on his shoulder and waved his hand.
-It seems to be a room where you are forced to enter a state of selflessness. Of course, in a room like that, there must be time to rest! If you keep turning it, everything will be ruined!
‘It’s because of you food!’
This demon lord wasn’t worried about his room, he was just worried about himself, who would only eat Nadine bread once he entered.
“Hmm…”
Raon frowned, remembering Karun’s cold expression.
‘He’s a really unhelpful person.’
I don’t know why I’m wasting my time by going in now. I sighed out of frustration.
“After the break…”
Glenn lowered the hand that was resting on his chin and leaned his upper body forward.
“I do not recommend that you enter the ego room at this time.”
He shook his head with a calm expression, as if conveying his sincerity.
“Didn’t you tell me to go in before?”
“Because the you back then and the you you are now are different.”
Glenn drew a small wall with his finger.
“You know that the best time to enter the room of self is when you are blocked by the wall.”
He raised a slightly larger wall and rolled his eyes.
“You certainly face a wall in front of you, but it is not a wall of transcendence, but a wall of reaching the limit of a grand master.”
Glenn slowly lowered his hand, saying that there was still a distance left to reach the Wall of Transcendence.
“If you enter now, you will reach the heights of Grand Master, but if you enter the room after reaching the heights of Grand Master, you will definitely be able to reach transcendence.”
He gave me a soft smile, as if telling me to hold on just a little longer.
“Of course, before that, we have to find a clue to reach transcendence.”
“What is that clue?”
Raon put his hands together. Glenn also said that it was a clue when he said that Karun entered the ego room.
“It’s a clue as to what kind of transcendent you want to become.”
Glenn’s eyes erupted with intense lightning, as if there were lightning in them.
“In order to reach transcendence, you must choose the concept that best suits you among the many materials you have accumulated to the pinnacle of Grand Master.”
He said in a heavy voice that he would find out when the time came.
“I see…”
Raon bit his lip deeply.
‘I never even thought of a clue.’
I thought I could reach transcendence by simply entering the room of the ego, but it seems that it was still impossible.
“Don’t be impatient.”
Glenn lowered his hands to the armrests of the throne and buried his back deeply.
“As I said in the meeting room, the leader of Oma cannot move. There’s plenty of time left to build up your strength. And…”
He lifted his chin with a confident smile.
“I am here.”
“Ah…”
The words “I am here” were deeply embedded in my mind as if struck by lightning.
“I will protect you from the rain until you and the other children grow up, so don’t worry.”
Glenn placed his hand on Jincheon Sword’s sword and said that Sieghart would not fall.
“Be strong. Not alone, but with colleagues.”
He advised me to grow together with everyone, saying that I cannot fight the fight alone in the future.
“All right.”
After hearing Glenn say that he would protect me, my impatience subsides. Even if it was a little late, I was determined to become as strong as I wanted to be.
“But…”
Glenn touched his chin and lightly tasted his mouth.
“Since you have achieved quite a bit so far, I will take care of your training for a while.”
He lightly tapped the Jincheon Sword, saying he would personally teach him how to use the sword.
“Are you serious?”
“okay.”
“…thank you.”
Raon immediately lowered his head. Every time I received instruction from Glenn, my achievements increased to a ridiculous level, so it was nothing more than a room for my ego.
-Bo, I can look after you if you ask, right…?
Lars suddenly waved his round hand as if to leave it to himself.
‘what?’
-The King can take care of you just as well as that old man!
I don’t know why this guy is doing this all of a sudden. I ignored it for now.
“It’s just a reward.”
Glenn waved his hand as if it was no big deal.
“Come to the Gaju training center starting at midnight tomorrow.”
“All right.”
Raon bowed again and stood up.
“Then…”
As I was leaving to return to the annex, Glenn’s eyes wavered as if he was regretful, unlike before.
Roen, who was under the podium, also wiggled his fingers as if asking him to do something.
“If it’s a pre-dinner ceremony…”
Raon came forward again and swallowed dry saliva.
“Would you like to have dinner together in the annex?”
Sylvia and the maids bowed their heads, saying they had prepared a lot of food.
-Why are you calling that old man!
Lars raised his head.
-Because I like Nadine bread! Tell him to eat Nadin bread alone!
The guy shook his head and said he had no food to give to Glenn.
-Crumbling!
‘Because there’s more than enough to feed you all. don’t worry.’
After comforting Lars, who was growling, I looked at Glenn.
“….”
Glenn’s eyes widened as if he didn’t expect to be invited to dinner.
“I can’t help it if I’m invited!”
Contrary to his statement that there was nothing he could do, he stood up from the throne with a flick of his back.
“Of course you should go. “I was invited.”
Roen laughed, saying it was not polite to refuse.
“Um, matriarch over there?”
Chad dropped the document he was holding and blinked.
“I’ll take a look and then come back and listen.”
Glenn said he would see him tomorrow and left the throne room with Raon. The distance between the two was a little closer than before.
“After all, the future is over there!”
Chad curled the corner of his mouth as he watched his grandson getting along well.
“Good thing you lined up in advance!”
He returned to the banquet alone, happy and unaware of Raon’s speed.
***
Raon returned to the annex with Glenn. Appetizing scents were coming from the kitchen as if the meal was ready.
-Kya! There’s stew, pizza, and grilled lamb ribs! These are all things that the King likes!
Lars grinned as he noticed all the food prepared based on the scent alone.
Raon looked at Glenn behind Lars who was dancing. He seemed a little nervous and his shoulders were close.
“Let’s go to the restaurant.”
Guided by Glenn, we entered the dining room, where not only Sylvia and the maids were sitting, but also Saint Pedro of Rags.
“Oh, father?”
Sylvia jumped up in surprise at Glenn’s sudden appearance.
“Go, see the matriarch!”
The maids also knelt down in embarrassment.
“It is done.”
Glenn waved his hand, saying there was no need to say hello.
“You said it was still a ceremony, so I brought you here.”
Raon explained and guided Glenn to the castle.
“ah! “Well then, welcome back!”
Sylvia smiled and pulled out a chair for Glenn to sit on.
“The guy with the heavy butt has done well.”
Pedric grinned at Glenn.
“Why are you here?”
Glenn frowned at Pedric, who was leaning back in his chair.
“The saint came to visit Raon, so I invited him for a meal.”
Sylvia sat next to the saint and laughed.
“Kuhum!”
“Keuhum!”
The two people, who had been invited by Raon and Sylvia respectively, cleared their throats and frowned at each other.
“Because I prepared a lot. “Please everyone enjoy your meal.”
As Sylvia clapped her hands, the maids came to the table with steaming dishes.
-Keuuu!
Lars fluttered his nose and made an ecstatic expression.
-It smells amazing!
The guy just waved his tongue in front of the food as if he didn’t even care about Glenn.
“This is alcohol obtained from the south.”
Raon took out a luxurious bottle of liquor and poured it into Glenn’s glass first.
“Hmph!”
Glenn raised the corners of his mouth as he aimed his glass at Pedric, as if he was happy to be the first to receive it.
“Childish bastard…”
Pedric let out a laugh as if it was absurd as he accepted Raon’s drink for the second time.
Raon poured drinks for everyone at the table and returned to his seat.
“Today is Raon and the kids’ return welcome party. “I hope everyone enjoys it.”
The meal began with Sylvia’s small clapping.
-that! Get that! There is pasta in the bread!
Lars stretched out his round hand as if he was attracted to the pane pasta.
-Next is grilled chili shrimp! Bring out the five!
‘wait.’
Raon pushed Lars, who raised his hand like a thunderbolt, and first scooped up the stew and distributed it to Glenn, Pedric, and Sylvia.
“Hehehe!”
This time, Glenn raised the stew he received first to Pedric as if showing off.
“Why are you really like that…”
Pedric shook his head as if he was fed up.
-Bonwang too! Even the king will eat it!
‘Because I understand. ‘Stop yelling.’
Raon sighed and used a fork to put the pasta Lars wanted into his mouth.
-Big! The cream is soft and salty, so it will definitely whet your appetite!
As soon as Lars ate the pane pasta, he immediately started evaluating it. Of course, unlike his excessive appetite, his language skills were miserable.
“Hmm…”
“As expected, the food at the annex is the best.”
Glenn and Pedric also enjoyed their meal with faint smiles as if the food wasn’t bad.
“Hehe.”
When the dishes on the table were almost gone, Pedric put down the dishes and let out a small burp.
“I came after seeing the guys you captured before coming here.”
“How was it?”
Raon asked as he put down the lamb rib bone he had finished eating.
“It’s the same method of brainwashing as the children you saved. “It was all Derus’s doing.”
Pedric shook his fists as if he was truly angry.
“Can you get rid of brainwashing and rage worms?”
Glenn dabbed at his mouth with a napkin and gave me a sharp look.
“Brainwashing is hard. Although the children had a short period of time, they were brainwashed throughout their lives. But…”
Pedric tilted his chin toward Raon.
“There was nothing I could do about the pain that was enough to push away the brainwashing. Raon showed me.”
“What about Lazy Worm?”
“It can be removed. “It will be a lot of pain, but there is no need to look after them.”
He shook his hands and smiled, as if telling me to trust him.
“Are the kids okay now?”
Sylvia bit her lip with worried eyes.
“As I said before, thanks to you, everything has returned to its original form. “No need to worry anymore.”
Pedric laughed, saying it was thanks to Sylvia and the maids taking care of the children.
“Phew….”
Raon let out the thick breath that had accumulated deep in his chest.
‘thank god.’
I really wanted to save the children who had been brainwashed because they were just like me in my previous life, but I finally sighed with relief when I heard that they had been completely cured.
“Raon. “Are you still committed to supporting what children want to do?”
Pedric tilted his upper body with serious eyes.
“yes. “It is the same.”
“Then it will be difficult in the future.”
He curled the corners of his mouth.
“Most people say they want to follow you and become prosecutors.”
“What is that….”
“Those children grew up watching the biography of Raon Sieghardt with their own eyes and hearing your achievements with their ears. “You are nothing short of an idol.”
Pedric waved his finger, telling him to wait a moment.
“The kids only call you by your name.”
Sylvia smiled and nodded.
“Really. “Even when we visit, he always talks about you.”
“It makes me jealous.”
“Raon Sieghardt’s biography is almost like a Bible.”
The maids also smiled softly, saying it was the children’s sincerity.
“Hehehe!”
Glenn cleared his throat and trembled at the corners of his mouth, as if he was happy that children only looked for grandchildren and thought of them as idols.
“Glen. Now that the children have grown up, we have to buy more things…”
Pedric said that he needed a little more support and whetted his appetite.
“double.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Glenn nodded and said he would double the budget.
“Two, double? Really?”
Pedric’s eyes widened as if he was surprised to hear the answer right away.
“thank you. father.”
Sylvia smiled slightly and lowered her head.
“Rice, it’s nothing special.”
Glenn removed his hand covering his mouth and turned his head.
Raon smiled quietly as he saw Glenn and Sylvia getting closer, albeit a little.
‘I hope you become a little happier…’
-Yumma!
As the two people, who were close but far away, were hoping to become closer, Lars jumped up in front of them.
-What are you doing! The king is still hungry!
‘This is the devil…’
Raon closed his eyes tightly.
***
The summit of the Ludan Mountains, the highest mountain range on the continent.
Tacheon, wearing the mask of a handsome young man, landed on Baekhwabong Peak, which even dragons avoid.
He walked with graceful steps, as if taking a walk on a snowy field where he couldn’t see an inch in front of him.
Whoops.
As Tacheon approached the end of the peak, a death knight wearing a Death Knight helmet walked out from the black snowstorm.
He bent down his eyes, which were colder than the Ludan Mountains.
“You seem to have sunk further.”
Tacheon looked into the eyes of the Soul Sword and drew a faint smile.
“….”
The Soul Sword did not say anything and just chewed its lips.
“I came to see him. Please get out of the way.”
“….”
The Soul Sword looked down at Tacheon for a moment and then slowly retreated to the right.
Tacheon bowed his head to the Soul Sword and entered the black storm.
Whoa!
Strangely, there was not a single wind blowing in the storm, and instead of snow on the ground,
there were flowers and bushes that seemed to show off their greenness everywhere. It was like seeing Dowonhyang, where immortals who have left the world live.
“It’s been a while since I saw you.”
Tacheon brushed off the snow from his sleeves and cast a keen gaze towards the back of the man sitting in the center of the garden.
“Cheonma.”
