Episode 791
“Why is there no answer?”
Raon stood in front of the comedian and raised his eyebrows.
“It’s easy. “Will you follow Wu Huang and survive, or will you follow Wu Ma and die?”
He straightened out his index and middle fingers, saying you could choose which one.
“Uh, uh…”
Rimmer widened his eyes. He looked embarrassed, as if he didn’t know he would suddenly say something about life and death.
“Joe, nephew?”
Balder, who was laughing happily, also turned dark. He too seemed to be embarrassed, so his lips trembled slightly.
“Are you threatening us now?”
The comedian smiled brightly, as if it had gone well.
“It is a very disappointing choice for Sieghart, renowned as the strongest family on the continent, to try to put a leash on him by force.”
She lifted her chin with a sneer.
“But Moby Dick and I do not give in to power. No matter what external pressure comes…”
“They say illusions are freedom, but that’s too much.”
Raon picked his ears with his little finger and sighed.
“What…”
“You really thought we were threatening Moby Dick?”
In return, he laughed and shook his head.
“You look down on Sieghard so much. As you said, there is no way we, the strongest force on the continent, would attack you when you are defenseless.”
Raon lightly tapped his temple, telling him to come to his senses.
“We will return Shinju Oryeong graciously no matter what he chooses. Rather, we should even provide an escort.”
“Well, then what you mean is that he died a little while ago…”
“After the war.”
A serious light flashed over Raon’s mocking eyes.
“If we are victorious after the war between the five demons is over…” He
clenched his open hand into a fist and chewed his molars.
“It will destroy everything that Hsinchu Oring has built up.”
“Hmm…”
Heegeukje swallowed dryly as he felt Raon’s storm-like force.
“Oh, of course we have to leave out the Pirate King.”
Raon smiled, extending one finger again.
“You probably know better, but the actual pirate king is from our side, so I’ll exclude him.”
He twisted his chin and said that it was not Shinju Oryeong, but Shinju Saryeong.
“Let me say it again. “If you stand behind Ouma, the name Shinju Command will not exist in this world after the war is over.”
Raon let out a voice dripping with murder and looked into the comedy emperor’s trembling eyes.
It was true that his force was much weaker than hers, but it was not his force that controlled this situation, but his heart and information.
“After the war…”
Heegeukje chewed his lip so hard that teeth marks were left on it.
“So does that mean you are confident that we will win the war even if we side with Ouma? Even now, I’m still being pushed out, so how can I…”
“That’s none of your business.”
I shook my head calmly.
“There is no need to hand over important information to someone who may be your enemy. All you have to do is choose. “Will I be killed by Sieghardt, or will I follow Sieghardt?”
Raon looked at the shaking eyes of the comedian and forced him to make a choice.
‘It must be confusing in your head.’
The Comedy Emperor came to Sieghardt thinking that she was in control, and in fact, she had the power to change the course of the war.
‘But…’
There was not enough information.
Now, the Comedy Emperor is in a dizzy state after hearing that the entire Shinju Commandery, excluding the Pirate King, can go to Oma.
Since she had a naturally strong heart and brain, it was clear that she would have let her imagination run wild and flew to unknown places.
‘That’s what I’m aiming for.’
The Comedy Emperor and Moby Dick act as if they are bold, but in reality, they put everything into calculation and make their moves.
If an unknown question arises, like in this case, I will not make a hasty decision.
“Go, matriarch!”
The comedian left Raon and approached Glenn.
“Are you planning on leaving Sieghart to the judgment of the Great Lord of the Windpung? “I recognize your achievements, but you are still young!”
Her fingertips were shaking and she cried out for a proper answer.
“This is Sieghard’s heart.”
Karun put his hand on the sword and flashed an eerie eye.
“Keep your voice down.”
He also created a cold wave of energy, as if he would draw his sword if he made a loud noise.
“I don’t know what happens next, but it’s better to be cool!”
Balder nodded loudly, saying he would believe Raon’s words.
“Matriarch…”
Denyer looked at Glenn as if, unlike his two brothers, the deal with Shinju Oryeong should not end this way.
“My thoughts…”
Glenn looked at Raon and nodded calmly.
“The meaning of the Great Lord of Gwangpung is the same.”
He turned his gaze to the comedian and twitched his fingertips.
“And wasn’t it you who made the threat first, not us?”
“Well, when will I…”
“That means that Ouma promised a big reward first. “Because it means standing in the middle and measuring the benefits.”
Glenn lifted his chin with a cold look in his eyes.
“You know what kind of beings Oma are, and yet you make such threats. Shinju Oryeong is an even uglier place than I thought.”
“Uhm…”
Heegeukje chewed his lip as if he had nothing to say.
“Either die or follow. That’s all I can say. However, forcing a choice right away is not a good idea.”
Glenn sat back on the throne and shook his head.
“Go back to Moby Dick, think deeply, and then send me your answer. But…”
He said he would give it time, but his eyes were dry.
“It would be better to send it before the war accelerates. “Because bats are not welcome wherever they go.”
Glenn shook his hands as if he had finished what he had to say.
“Tsk tsk.”
Raon clicked his tongue briefly while looking at the comedy festival.
“If I had come to offer help, I would have taken care of it on my own. This is why people who just use their heads are called stupid.”
He said it was pathetic and shook his head.
It seemed like his personality had completely changed from the person who showed serious eyes just moments ago.
“Even in gambling, those who think they are smart are the ones who lose money first. “The person who ran errands at my house was originally a professor.”
Rimmer snorted, calling them idiots.
“my house?”
“Oh, our gambling house? As we kept going, we became more friendly…”
He laughed, saying that he sometimes sleeps at a gambling house.
“Ugh…”
Even after hearing Raon and Rimmer’s mocking joke, the comedian could not refute and only bit his lip.
“…Then let’s go back.”
She carefully bowed to Glenn and then stepped back.
“I won’t go out to meet you.”
Glenn waved his hand as if to say go.
“yes.”
The Emperor nodded slightly and turned around.
She left the throne room with her subordinates who were unable to hide their embarrassment.
“Khahahaha!”
Balder burst out laughing so loudly that the ceiling rang even before the comedy festival was over.
“How can you be so gutsy!”
He raised his thumb towards Raon as if he had done well.
“Balder. “The laughter is too loud.”
Karun frowned at Balder. However, he seemed to agree that he did well and nodded to Raon.
“As the Great Lord of the Light Winds said…”
Glenn stood up from the throne and looked down at the executives in the throne room.
“Sighard does not give in to any threats. Bats weighing rewards will not even take out a copper coin. “Keep everyone in mind.”
“yes!”
The prosecutors’ eyes flashed like blades, as if they were thrilled by his bold declaration.
“Matriarch. “The meeting is over, can I leave first?”
Raon lowered his head as if there was something urgent to do.
“Let’s leave it here for today.”
When Glenn waved his hand, the door to the throne room opened, and Raon went out first.
“….”
Denier did not move from the spot and followed Raon’s back with eyes that seemed to have no moisture left in them.

“My lord, my lord.”
Sakan, the master of swordsmanship, came up behind the emperor and swallowed dry saliva.
“Do we really have to leave like this? If this happens, our plan…”
His voice trembled as if he couldn’t believe this situation.
“First of all… Pfft!”
Comedian Ariel tried to answer, but spit out red blood out of her mouth.
‘Damn it…’
I thought I had the initiative this time, but I was hit by an unexpected counterattack and suffered internal injuries again. It felt like I was having a terrible nightmare.
‘I still can’t come to my senses.’
I thought I had finished preparing for the human named Raon Sieghart, but my expectations were completely shattered.
The tongue seemed to grow as well as the guy’s strength.
“My lord!”
Sakan screamed as he saw the blood dripping from the Emperor’s hand.
“Okay.”
Ariel shook her head, wiping the blood away with a handkerchief.
“Blood just burst in my mouth.”
I muttered that I chewed my tongue because I didn’t want it to be discovered that I had suffered an internal injury due to the very young Raon.
“I’d rather stick to Oma.”
Majangdanju Berriol raised his fist.
“It’s clear you’re bluffing. Sticking to Ouma and making them regret it…”
“No.”
Ariel shook her head, wiping the blood from her lip.
“You can’t move until you know if this is a bluff or not.”
Neither Raon Sieghardt nor Glenn Sieghardt are stupid enough to tell lies that will be easily discovered.
I am confident that I will win even if four of the Five Spirits of the Shinju, excluding the Pirate King, join Ouma. No, at least it was clear that he was confident that he would not lose.
‘What on earth?’
Even when I gathered together the information that was currently spread, nothing came to mind.
Rather, I only remembered the disadvantages to Sieghart and the Five Emperors due to the appearance of dragons and Elyos.
“As soon as I return, update all information about Ohuangoma. In particular, bring everything that belongs to Sieghardt.”
Ariel chewed her lip, saying that she would personally check Sieghardt’s information from beginning to end.
“There must be something…”
As she put the blood-soaked handkerchief in her pocket, she heard soft footsteps behind her. When I turned around, Raon Sieghardt was approaching me.
“What happened again?”
Ariel tried to keep her expression as calm as possible, but she couldn’t hide the thick tendons growing on her forehead.
“I have a request to make.”
Raon stretched out his hand with calm eyes. I wanted to fold his arms and waist like that, but I bit my lip and held back.
“A request?”
“Isn’t Moby Dick’s information as famous as the black market? “I will trust that information and make a request.”
He smiled and said it was just a simple request.
“Aren’t ours a bit expensive?”
Ariel replied, slightly furrowing her brows.
“What I’m looking for is something called a soul stone.”
Raon ignored the comment that it was expensive and brought up the name of the soul stone.
“W-soul stone? “How did you get the soul stone…”
Ariel swallowed dryly. There are very few people who know the existence of the soul stone, so I was shocked that those words came out of Raon’s mouth.
“If you bring it yourself or tell us its location, we will reward you accordingly. “It’s probably what you want.”
Raon painted a relaxed smile as if testing Moby Dick while making the request.
“then.”
He waved his hand as if telling me to take care of it and left Gajujeon without any regrets.
“….”
Ariel chewed her lip as she watched Raon leave.
‘How do you know about the soul stone? Why are you looking for that again?’
I don’t know if they’re looking for it because it’s really important, or if they’re testing themselves.
My mind was so complicated that I wanted to beat up that little guy.
“Damn it…”
Ariel stood there for a while and then took heavy steps.

– You idiot!
As Raon returned to the annex, Lars made his face.
-What would you do if you openly revealed that you were looking for a soul stone? I should have tricked you by telling you about the other items as well!
Lars frowned, saying it was pathetic.
‘That would have revealed that I really need the soul stone.’
Raon shook his head, holding Lars’ tail.
-what?
‘The comedian has a good head. In particular, my specialty is reading the other person’s psychology. If I had mentioned various items there, it would have been quickly revealed that the item I really wanted was the soul stone.’
The Comic Emperor is a giant who leads the second largest intelligence organization on the continent.
If she had the will to throw various items at her, she would definitely realize that the soul stone was what she really needed.
However, if her composure is shaken like today and she openly mentions the soul stone, she will not be able to make a proper judgment as to whether she really needs the soul stone, whether she is just testing it, or because she will be lost in other thoughts.
‘For that purpose, we even used the ring of fire.’
Even the ring of fire from before resonated and calmed his emotions.
Because his acting was extreme, no matter how much of a comedy he was, he wouldn’t know that he really needed the soul stone.
-You damn head…
Lars looked down at Raon and wrinkled the bridge of his nose.
-You must be good! You’re smart, so there’s a lot you want to eat! In that sense, my king wants to eat bread!
He finally finished his conversation by eating again today and quenched his appetite.
‘Nadine bread?’
-No!
When I arrived in front of the annex, teasing Lars, I saw Rektar standing at the lake.
The old prosecutors, including Glenn and Rektar, seemed to like the lake.
“You came quickly.”
When I approached Rektar, he smiled and turned his back.
“Are you finished?”
“yes. “It was as expected.”
Raon told Rektar everything that happened in the Gaju battle.
“Khahahaha!”
Rektar lifted his chin and burst into laughter.
“okay. “Like you said, your head is spinning so hard right now that you don’t know what to do.”
He curled his lips, saying it was a pity that he couldn’t see the comedian’s broken expression.
“The Shenju Five Spirits will not be able to move easily, and the number of intelligence groups to find the soul stone has increased, so we have gained a great advantage.”
“yes. I guess I was lucky and it worked out well.”
“It’s not luck.”
Rektar shook his head with warm eyes.
“Your plan worked. There was a saying in Raon Sieghart that you should be more careful with your tongue than your sword, and it was true.”
He gently held his grandchild’s shoulder as if he was proud of him.
“It’s all over, now tell me. “What do you ask of me?”
“The leaders of the Gwangpungdae are on the verge of breaking out of their shell. Can I take them to the Holy Sword Training?”
Raon bowed his head to Rektar. I wanted to give Burren, Marta, and Runaan an opportunity to become stronger.
“It looks like we’re still friendly.”
Rektar smiled slightly as he looked at Raon.
“Honestly, they are more like friends than subordinates.”
“Okay then.”
Rektar nodded without hesitation.
“As a grandfather, you can’t turn down your grandchild’s friends.”
He laughed and said there was nothing to give or say.
“They agree with the idea of going to Seonggeomryeon. They are children full of a sense of challenge.”
“yes? “I didn’t agree or anything.”
Raon looked at Rektar and tilted his head.
“uh…?”
Rektar blinked.
“If you didn’t agree, are you against it?”
“no. “I didn’t even ask.”
Raon revealed his cool eyes and curled his lips.
“If you go, you go. “There is no need to ask their doctor.”
“Hmm…”
Rektar swallowed his dry saliva as he looked at his grandson’s cold eyes.
‘Is that really a friend…?’
