Episode 760
Raon followed Glenn and headed to the open space at the entrance to Bukmangsan Mountain.
‘I can’t believe I came here again after less than an hour…’
I laughed out loud because if I went up a little, I could see the place where I swam in the honey with the bear.
‘But…’
I narrowed my eyes as I looked at Glenn’s back, who was calmly examining the night sky.
‘Why did the head of the family come?’
After the sparring with Karun, Glenn handed over half of the gold coins he had obtained from this mission to Gwangpungdae.
The sparring ended well, so there was no additional reward, so I don’t know why I called.
-They gave me food here and there today…
Lars looked Glenn up and down as if he was suspicious.
-Surely that old man is trying to chew Nadin bread?
The guy shook his head and told me not to eat it even if I gave him bread.
‘oh! Are you a genius?’
-Hmm! King Bon has long been known as the greatest brainiac and strategist in the Demon World…
‘That’s amazing?’
-The King hasn’t finished speaking yet…
‘Awesome.’
As Raon was listening to Lars’ nonsense, Glenn looked back.
“Raon.”
Glenn’s eyes were different from usual. A warmth like a fireplace seemed to bloom in his red eyes.
“yes. “Matriarch.”
Raon looked into Glenn’s eyes and lowered his head.
“Hal….”
“Yes?”
“no.”
Glenn took a quick bite and shook his head.
“Karun has really changed a lot.”
He leaned back and lifted his chin.
“If it were Karun before, he would never have admitted his shortcomings, but I never thought he would reveal his mistakes in front of so many people.”
Glenn let out a sigh as if he was still surprised.
-Even this king approves!
Lars raised his round hand.
-I never imagined that the color of the eyes would change so much!
The guy took a long sip, saying he felt like he had seen a new side of humanity.
“I guess it’s all thanks to you that Karun has changed so much. “Thank you.”
Glenn smiled softly, as if he was truly happy about Karun’s change.
“no.”
I thought that Karun had achieved the change on his own, so I calmly shook my head.
“Did you gain any insight from your sparring with Karun?”
Glenn asked, loosening his hands behind his back.
“I didn’t get it.”
Raon sighed briefly. I felt Karun’s emotions and power, but I could not find a clue to reach transcendence.
“Then did you feel anything when you saw Karun?”
“Jungmu Jeonju’s sins and regrets he committed, his desire to be the head of the family, and even his affection for Sieghardt. “It seemed like everyone had turned to force.”
Raon spoke of all the emotions and thoughts he felt while looking at Karun’s sword.
“You saw it right. “It’s rewarding to have permission to spar.”
Glenn slightly raised his eyebrows as if he had seen it clearly.
“Transcendence is not simply a state of dividing force. “It’s like a diary that records who you are, where you came from, and where you’re going.”
He explained the concept of transcendence in a calm tone.
“Diary…”
Raon muttered the word ‘diary’ that Glenn had brought up one after another.
“As soon as Karun ascended to transcendence, the reason he gained such power was because he contained many things in his diary.”
Glenn’s hand fell heavily as if drawing Karun’s sword system.
“If Karun had not truly reflected and reached transcendence, the sword you faced today would not have come out.”
“Ah…”
“What do you want to capture as you ascend to transcendence?”
He lowered his chin as if asking him to speak comfortably.
“There are so many things I want to take with me, I haven’t decided yet.”
Raon let out a long sigh. There was nothing I was really attracted to, so I couldn’t make any decisions.
“Then why not take it all?”
Glenn shrugged his shoulders slightly as if that was something he was worried about.
“yes…?”
“I’ve probably said it before, but your bowl is unrivaled even compared to Nana and Rektar. “Why would someone who would become a true master of all swords worry about unnecessary things?”
He smiled slightly and touched the sword of Jincheon Sword.
“Your diary is wider than anyone else’s. “You will be able to write down anything you want.”
Glenn smiled as he told me to go with all my emotions and intentions.
“Everything…”
Raon looked down at his hands and chewed his lip.
‘Is this really okay?’
Most warriors shed their shells and choose their own path, but the thought of taking everything with them felt like too much.
‘Anger, a thousand swords, revenge, family, colleagues, friends, past life…’
Numerous emotions and thoughts swirled in my mind. No matter how big my bowl was, I wasn’t sure I could take them all.
“If you can’t organize your thoughts…”
Glenn slowly lowered his hand.
“How about going to the fundamentals of a prosecutor?”
He tilted his chin toward the Jecheon sword hanging on Raon’s waist.
“The fundamentals…”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the slightly cracked Jecheon Sword.
“They say ‘he’ is back too, so take your time and go.”
“All right.”
I bowed to Glenn, who gave me sincere advice.
“It is done. “Because the help I received from you is greater.”
Glenn waved his hand, saying there was no need to say hello.
“Matriarch.”
Raon let go of his hand holding the Jecheon Sword and approached Glenn.
“I also have something to tell you.”
“Try it.”
“This is the information I received this time…”
I told Glenn the information I heard from Merlin.
“We also knew that Ouma was moving to increase his military power. “We’re gathering information, so we’ll get busy soon.”
Glenn nodded, saying that the windmill would also have to move.
“However, this is the first time I have heard information that a sword demon became a holy sword practitioner.”
He frowned deeply.
“Did you hear that news from your friend?”
“Ah…”
Glenn brought out the word friend as if he was referring to Lars.
“no. “It’s a different friend this time.”
“It would be nice to have a lot of friends.”
He smiled slightly, saying it wasn’t a bad thing.
“Um…”
I said we were friends, but my relationship with Merlin had not been established yet, so I had nothing to say.
“I’ll have to check, but thank you for giving me good information.”
Glenn waved his hand as if to say go now.
“yes. then.”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn and returned to the annex.
“….”
Glenn remained alone and looked at the night sky, billowing like a black curtain.
‘Rektar…’
When Raon went missing, Rektar appeared and asked what he had done to him.
He was not a puppet following the orders of the Holy Swordmaster, nor was he a madman who was so crazy about the sword that he could not feel the pain of others.
Rather, I felt like I was a very close relative of Raon.
Glenn chewed his lips thinly, recalling the despair in Rektar’s eyes.
“You can’t believe it….”
***
As soon as Sylvia finished breakfast, she headed to the training room created while expanding the annex.
She took a breath of warm air and drew her sword.
Wooooow!
A vivid light flickered above Sylvia’s sword. It was the glowing energy that Raon conveyed.
She practiced various sword techniques while guiding the brilliant light.
Only after the newly risen sun reached the center of the sky did Sylvia lower her sword.
But it wasn’t for rest.
She made a rough yet splendid change in the blade, as if recalling the movements of the fighting spirit and the white ghost sword lord that Raon had heard about yesterday.
Cheeeeee!
The blade, stained with blue light, radiated deep brilliance and spread out in all directions like sunlight.
Coo coo coo coo!
As the name Hwigwangryu suggests, it seemed to sweep away enemies with light.
Cheeeeee.
Sylvia lowered her sword only after she had exhausted her stamina and aura to the point that her hands were shaking. She sat down as if she had used up all her strength.
“lady.”
Helen sighed as she handed water and chocolate to Sylvia.
“Aren’t you overdoing it?”
“It’s a necessary effort.”
Sylvia shook her head and drank the water in one gulp.
“I don’t want to lose my family again.”
Raon became an enviable son, and as he ascended the line, his relationship with his father was slowly recovering, and he was also looked upon with respect by prosecutors.
All the dreams he wanted came true, but the nightmares that came every two days did not go away.
The two-headed light, Edgar and Siya collapsing in front of him, and himself being dragged into the darkness without being able to do anything. The nightmare that had been recurring for over 20 years still torments me.
‘I can’t go through the same thing again.’
We have to protect Raon and the children in the annex.
He knows what it is like to lose a family member, so if the same thing happens, he will sacrifice his life to save everyone.
Sylvia made a vow to her soul and slowly raised her gaze.
“thank you. “Helen.”
I stood up and put the chocolate that Helen gave me into my mouth.
‘You must not stop.’
Perhaps because he broke the grand master barrier too easily, he has barely grown since then.
Now was not the time to relax, it was time to do everything in your power to increase your strength.
Sylvia closed her sword again and created a serious yet warm light.
***
Even though Raon was on vacation, he did not train and headed to southern Sieghart.
-Where are you going?
Lars yawned long and lifted his chin.
‘I have a place to visit after a long time.’
-Long time no see? Oh, no way, you…
Lars turned to face Raon with his eyes wide open.
-Are you going to buy beaded ice cream for King Bon? That’s a new taste too…
‘Isn’t it?’
-Okay….
He took a long sip as if he was disappointed.
-It would be okay to stop by for a moment…
‘Yes. ‘I’m not going.’
-Tsk, then where is this place? I feel like I’ve seen it… hmm?
Lars’ eyes widened as he looked at the small village with thick smoke coming out of every chimney.
-Isn’t this where your sword was made?
‘that’s right. ‘I guess I remember.’
Raon nodded and entered the village.
‘A village of blacksmiths who pound iron day and night. It’s Myrtan.’
The ‘him’ that Glenn told me to visit yesterday is Balkan, the continental leader.
It’s been a while since I took the time to come and get my sword serviced.
-This place is not fun at all.
Lars muttered that he was not interested and entered the ice flower bracelet.
‘All the attention is on the marble ice cream.’
Raon tapped his bracelet and entered Mirtan.
When I heard the flames and metal sounds of the furnace and the cries of the craftsmen, I felt like I was revitalized.
As I slowly walked up to Balkan’s workshop, I saw the back of his head.
“Dorian?”
“uh? “My lord!”
It was really Dorian. Instead of making a deal with his father-in-law, he walked over to me.
“How did you get here?”
“Why are you here?”
“I was packing the essentials!”
Dorian laughed, saying he came out to replenish the weapons and iron used in the war. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn’t slept.
“No way, until now….”
“Yes. I kept buying essentials. “I also found good fish and meat at the early morning market!”
He laughed as he took out fresh meat and fish from his stomach bag.
“You could pack it slowly….”
“You can’t pack all the necessities if you take it slow!”
Dorian let out a roar-like sound and stamped his feet.
“uh…?”
“Just like a gracefully floating swan swinging its legs in the water, you have to run day and night to properly supply supplies!”
He furrowed his brows and lifted his chin.
“Do you understand?”
“Ah, yes…”
Raon was horrified and took a step back.
“I still have necessities left to take care of. See you later!”
As soon as Dorian got his things from the blacksmith, he immediately left Myrtan Village.
“Huh…”
Raon let out a laugh as he watched Dorian quickly disappear.
Although he looked overly tired, he also seemed very happy.
-Didn’t the king say this? Your wallet is a pervert…
Lars shook his head, saying that there were only really weird people around him.
‘Maybe so…’
Raon sighed and climbed to the top of Mirtan Village.
Whoops!
In the round workshop, I felt hammering and heat that was different from anything I had ever heard before.
‘You’re still the same.’
Raon smiled slightly and knocked on the workshop door.
“I’m not accepting customers!”
Vulcan’s loud voice was heard from inside the workshop.
Coo!
As soon as Balkan finished speaking, Raon opened the door to the workshop and entered.
“Are you really retired again?”
“hmm…?”
Vulcan slowly turned his back. He opened his mouth, revealing bigger and more toned muscles than before.
“Raon!”
Balkan jumped up and hugged Raon.
“Long time no see.”
“okay. “It’s been a long time!”
He smiled brightly and asked why he came now.
“Others heard about your performance so loudly. “It was so boring.”
Balkan patted his shoulder loudly as if he was proud of him.
“It’s all thanks to the master’s sword.”
Raon laughed as he touched the blade of the Jecheon Sword.
“I may not know your skills, but your flattery has definitely increased!”
Vulcan snorted and shook his head.
“You probably didn’t come to see my face, so take out your sword.”
He waved his hand and said that he would look after Jecheon Sword.
“All right.”
Raon lowered his head and carefully pulled out his sword.
“Hmm…”
Balkan narrowed his eyes as he examined the Jecheon Sword.
“I think I managed it pretty well, but the blade is damaged. “It looks like the fight was really fierce.”
He sighed as if looking back on the time Raon had been fighting through the Jecheon Sword.
“sorry.”
“What are you sorry about? “The fact that the sword is worn means that it is faithfully performing its role. The owner has nothing to be sorry about.”
Balkan shook his head vigorously, saying that he just needed to show himself as a Sieghardt prosecutor.
“I was going to call you anyway, but you came at the perfect time.”
He put down his sword and walked to the corner of the workshop.
“yes?”
Raon blinked as he looked at Balkan’s back.
“There are some very good ingredients coming in.”
Vulcan raised his eyebrows as he took out a gold bullet and a red and blue iron ball from an old box.
“I will make your sword sharper and stronger!”
