Chapter 793
Raon blinked as he looked up at the stone mountain that seemed to be made up of layers of wasteland.
‘This is Seonggeomryeon?’
Dolsan Mountain was as large as Bukmangsan Mountain, but it was too clearly visible to say that Seonggeomryeon was hidden.
All I could think was that Merlin had sent it by mistake.
“It looks like Merlin made a mistake.”
Raon scratched his head and looked back at Rektar.
“Once I figured out where this was…”
“No.”
Rektar slowly shook his head.
“This is the right place.”
He exclaimed in admiration, saying he had no idea he would send it this accurately.
“W-This is Seonggeomryeon?”
Dorian’s chin trembled in disbelief.
“Hmm, there aren’t many trees, so I can see the inside…”
Buren let out a faint groan as he looked at the bare trees.
“huh. “It’s just a rock.”
Runaan blinked, saying it was empty.
“It wasn’t empty. “There are a lot of animals and monsters.”
Martha said that there was no one there and quenched her appetite.
“To be precise, I would say it is the entrance to the lotus.”
Rektar chuckled and waved his hand.
“Merlin’s abilities are beyond my expectations, to send him all the way here in one go. Even though I don’t know much about magic, there’s no way something like this could be easily done…”
He let out a laugh as if he was surprised by Merlin’s magic.
“Yes.”
Raon smiled lightly and nodded.
‘The problem is that my personality and tastes are unique. ‘I have no choice but to acknowledge his ability.’
If Merlin had belonged to the Magic Tower or Valkar, he would have been considered the successor to the two great wizards.
Of course, regardless of faction, you have to stop being a stalker first.
“Let’s go up.”
Rektar snapped his fingers as if asking people to follow him and stepped onto the stone mountain first.
“Just follow the path I take.”
“yes.”
Raon told Buren, Marta, Runan, and Dorian to go up first, and moved behind them.
Paaaaaa!
Even though Rektar was walking calmly with his back to him, he climbed the stone mountain without hesitation as if he was walking.
“It’s even faster….”
“It’s an ordinary walk that isn’t even used by Aurors, so how!”
“I can’t see my feet…”
Marta, Burren, and Runaan were following Rektar with all their might, unable to breathe properly.
“Ugh….”
Dorian fell off as if he had fallen, and Raon supported him.
“grandfather.”
When everyone’s complexions were turning pale, Raon approached Rektar’s side.
“Our appearance will be noticeable, so shouldn’t we hide it before we arrive at the Holy Sword Training Center?”
Raon pointed to Burren, Marta, and Runan, who were breathing heavily as if they were dying.
His characteristic blond-red eyes had already spread throughout the continent, and Burren, Marta, and Runan were all handsome, so there were few people who didn’t know about him.
-What about the pocket guy?
Lars tilted his chin at Dorian, who was gagging.
‘Hmm, I guess it’s cute.’
Dorian is not ugly, but the appearance of those three was so flashy that it felt like he was being overshadowed.
“Hmm…”
Rektar looked back and smoothed his chin.
“Actually, it doesn’t really matter, but it would be better to change it for you guys.”
“It doesn’t really matter…”
Raon widened his eyes.
“No, we’re not trying to pretend to be famous, but we’ll definitely get caught…”
Buren shook his head, saying he’d definitely get caught too.
“What kind of group do you think the Seonggeomryeon is?”
Rektar turned his back with a faint smile.
“Crazy people who worship the sword?”
Marta chanted carefully, but eventually spoke according to her personality.
“Khahahaha!”
Rektar burst out in laughter that made the ground shake.
“That’s accurate. “That’s what Seonggeomryeon is all about.”
He nodded, saying that what Marta said was correct.
“The most important value in Seonggeomryeon is the sword. A strong prosecutor is the truth and the law.”
Rektar smiled slightly as he looked at Buren and Dorian’s trembling eyes as if they were embarrassed.
“As Raon said, you stand out. The moment you enter the Seonggeomryeon, your identity will be discovered. Then what action do you think the prosecutors of the association will take?”
“Well, won’t they attack me?”
Dorian’s lips were trembling as if he was already frightened.
“I came with you, Lord Ryeon, so I won’t attack you.”
Burren slapped Dorian on the shoulder and frowned.
“No, we will attack.”
Rektar calmly shook his head.
“But that attack…”
“Is it sparring?”
Marta’s pitch black eyes flashed as if she understood now.
“right.”
Rektar looked down at Marta and smiled softly.
“The prosecutors who know your reputation will rush to apply for a sparring match. “Not to kill you, but to learn what sword techniques and how strong you are.”
He nodded and said that was all.
“The reason why the Holy Sword Run ranks at the top among the Six Emperor Five Demons is because of that obsession with the sword. “The passion of prosecutors is greater than that of Sieghardt.”
Rektar waved his hand and said that the Holy Swordsman was just a bunch of people who were crazy about swords.
“Martha. “I think you would be a great fit for Seonggeomryeon.”
He smiled slightly, as if he liked Marta’s personality.
“It’s him more than me.”
Marta tapped Raon on the shoulder.
“Even in Sieghart, Raon is the only one who is truly crazy about swords. “I definitely saw him training later than me and went out, but when he came to the training center the next day, he came first and was sweating.”
She said in exasperation and gritted her teeth.
“that’s right.”
Runan looked at Raon and nodded.
“Raon’s house was not an annex, but a training ground…”
She shook her shoulders, saying that she had not been to the annex for more than a month.
“okay. “I know it as well as you do.”
Rektar smiled as if he was delighted with his hard-won grandchild.
“Then you shouldn’t disguise yourself…”
“But it would be better.”
Contrary to what he said a moment ago, he waved his hand to disguise himself.
“We have dealt with those who follow the Sentai Reliance and Ouma’s actions, but there may still be some who are hiding, so it would be better to keep their identities hidden.”
Rektar seemed to remember the events of this war and turned his back again, telling us to go safely.
“I’ll call someone from inside….”
“You don’t have to go! “It’s all here!”
Dorian, who was panting as if he was about to die, took out a disguise set from his stomach pocket.
“necessity!”
Bloodshot red appeared above his pupils. It seemed like my obsession with necessities was becoming stronger.
“Uh…”
Rektar’s lips trembled as if he was surprised by Dorian’s always gentle spirit.
“Ugh….”
– Here we go again….
Raon and Lars shook their heads as if they were tired now.
* * *
“Then let’s go. “There isn’t much left.”
Rektar looked at Raon, who had dyed his hair black, and Burren, Marta, and Runan, who all looked different, and then climbed the rocky mountain again.
When he crossed the halfway point and reached near the top, his steps stopped.
“It’s here.”
Rektar lifted his chin while standing in front of a small cave made of piled rocks.
“No way…”
“Yes. “This is the entrance to Seonggeomryeon.”
He smiled slightly and nodded.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked around the rock cave.
‘Someone is hiding.’
I felt the presence of a person who had never been seen before, as if this was really a passage leading to Seonggeomryeon.
It seemed like they were swordsmen from the Seonggeomryeon who protected this passage.
“Trust me and follow me. Even in the dark, if you move toward the light, there will be no problems.”
Rektar went into the cave first, saying it wouldn’t be difficult.
“Uh…”
“Hmm…”
Burren and Dorian looked at each other and blinked. He looked like he was worried.
“If you’re not going, get out of the way!”
“huh.”
Marta and Runaan made their way through the two men and entered the cave a second time. The two people seemed to have no fear at all.
“let’s go.”
Raon tapped Burren and Dorina on the shoulders and entered the cave.
‘hmm?’
As soon as I entered the cave, I felt like my body was floating. It seemed to be more than just an oyster.
Although the area was filled with pitch-black darkness, there was no feeling of danger or darkness at all.
I felt comfortable as if I was lying in bed in the dark after a day of work.
-It’s not an ordinary space.
Lars also rolled his eyes here and there as if he was curious.
‘Is it like magic? No, is it witchcraft?’
– As King Bon always says, sharing magic and incantations is something only weak people do! If you just hit it and destroy it, it doesn’t matter!
The guy shook his head and said not to distinguish between magic and witchcraft.
‘In the end, you don’t know.’
-Oh, no…
Lars didn’t answer in the end and just tilted his chin.
‘anyway.’
It was when Raon was muttering that it was simple.
Hwaaaaa!
A deep golden flame burned in the darkness, drawing a human shape. It was blurry so I couldn’t see it clearly, but it looked like a blonde swordsman.
‘Las. That person!’
-hmm? person?
Lars frowned, wondering where the person was.
‘You can’t see that?’
The moment he raised his finger and pointed at the swordsman burning in the flames, his image dispersed like dawn fog.
-Are you crazy?
Lars waved his fingers as if he had lost his mind.
‘No, it’s definitely him…’
As Raon swallowed his dry saliva as he looked at the submerged flame, the darkness in the cave disappeared, and a wide open space was revealed before his eyes.
A green plain spread out as if looking at Cameloon, the most fertile land on the continent, and neatly built houses formed a city behind it.
My mouth fell open because I had no idea that there was a space like this in the cave of that rocky mountain.
“What the hell is this…”
“Hey!”
While Raon was wasting his time looking at a completely different world, Marta came up to him.
“Why are you so late?”
Marta narrowed her eyes as if she didn’t understand.
“Are you late?”
“Raon. “It’s too late.”
Runaan raised his finger and pointed to the side. Burren and Dorian, who were behind him, arrived first.
“You acted like you weren’t scared, but you ended up being scared!”
Dorian laughed, saying he knew everything.
“Hmm…”
Raon frowned.
‘what?’
I clearly walked in a straight line, but I couldn’t understand why I arrived later than them.
I don’t know what happened.
“Raon. “What happened inside?”
Rektar approached with worried eyes.
“no. “Nothing happened.”
I didn’t even see Lars who was with me. I shook my head because I thought it might be my imagination.
‘But that person…’
He seemed like Sieghardt’s ancestor.
The golden flames were too dim to be seen clearly, but the blonde swordsman resembled the first head of Sieghart’s family whom he had seen before.
“Then I’m glad. “I guess I need to check the passage.”
Rektar quenched his appetite while examining the black cave behind him.
“First of all, is this really the Seonggeomryeon?”
Raon blinked as he looked at the peaceful city.
“okay. “This is Seonggeomryeon.”
“It’s quieter than I thought. I… huh?”
Raon’s eyes widened as he watched the middle-aged people farming and cutting down trees.
‘Wait a minute…’
Those people are all prosecutors.
The people who farmed, cut down trees, and collected water were all aurors and swordsmen trained with swords.
I could feel the momentum of each and every one of them being refined.
“There is no one in the Seonggeomryeon who is not a prosecutor.”
Rektar nodded as he looked at the people concentrating on their work.
“Let me introduce myself again. “Welcome to the Seonggeomryeon, a place where only people are crazy about swords.”
He drew a big smile as if he was proud of such Seonggeomryeon.
“I like it very much.”
“I will fight to no end.”
“huh. Just right….”
Marta, Buren, and Runaan took long bites as if they were already looking forward to the sparring.
“Ugh…”
Dorian shook his head with the only look of fear in his eyes.
It really seemed like they had come not for swordsmanship, but to fulfill another purpose.
“Then let’s go…”
When Rektar was about to tell him to go to his mansion, there was someone running from afar. It was Muston, Rektar’s disciple, with a scruffy face.
“Raon!”
Muston approached Raon before his teacher, Rektar, and bowed his head.
It was a polite yet earnest greeting, as if we were meeting separated parents.
“I really wanted to meet you! “I’m so glad you’re safe!”
“yes. long time no see.”
Raon smiled and held Muston’s hand. Looking at the reaction, it seemed like the power of jealousy was still at work.
“Master, you are back too.”
Muston bowed his head to Rektar only after greeting Raon.
“Kuhm, yes. “Did anything happen?”
Rektar cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed and asked about what happened so far.
“yes. “There was no contact from Derus or Oma, and nothing special happened.”
Muston shook his head, saying it was still peaceful.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Wow!
However, someone’s screams and the sound of swords clashing continued to be heard from afar.
Dorian’s complexion became even paler.
“Ah, no one knew about the soul stone you mentioned.”
Muston lowered his head as if he was sorry.
“As expected.”
Rektar nodded calmly.
“Well, swords are full of crazy things, so it’s strange that you’re interested in such things.”
He let out a low sigh and turned his back.
“Don’t worry. “There are branches spread throughout the Seonggeomryeon, so I will try to find the soul stone somehow.”
Rektar clenched his fists as if he was promising himself, not Raon.
“yes. “Please.”
Raon thought of Rektar leaving Sieghart without even touching Sia. I felt like I knew how he felt, so I just trusted him.
“Then let’s go in.”
Rektar said that we should go to the main castle and pointed to a mansion that was slightly larger than the other houses.
“Um, that’s the Holy Sword Lord’s castle?”
Dorian widened his eyes in surprise.
“Because I haven’t properly settled down here yet. And as I said, what is important in Seonggeomryeon is swordsmanship and force, not the size of the house.”
Rektar shook his head, saying he would soon get used to it.
“There…”
He was about to say more, but felt a crowd of people coming and closed his mouth.
“See you Lord Lian!”
“You’re back!”
The swordsmen of the Seonggeomryun approached Rektar and knelt down.
It’s a scene you often see in Sieghart, but there was one difference.
‘Hoseungsim.’
The prosecutors’ eyes were shining with a strong desire to win against Rektar.
I thought it was amazing that they had the feeling of wanting to win even though the difference in skill was as big as heaven and earth.
‘No, that’s not all.’
The warriors of the Holy Sword Training showed their support not only for Rektar, but also for themselves, Burren, Marta, Runan, and Dorian who were next to him. It seemed like he wanted to fight with new characters as well.
‘They’re Ssam Chickens.’
Raon left behind the gazes of the prosecutors that made his heart boil and entered Rektar’s mansion.
The inside of the mansion was simpler than the outside. It looked more shabby than the annex.
“The original castle of Seonggeomryeonju was splendid, unlike this one. “It’s just my preference.”
Rektar smiled calmly and pointed to an old sofa as if to sit down.
“yes.”
Raon nodded to Buren, Marta, and Runan and sat down on the sofa.
“I will collect the soul stone at the same time as my backlog of work. You…”
Rektar laughed, looking at Raon, Buren, Marta, Runan, and Dorian in turn.
“Enjoy your life here to the fullest.”
“Even if I tell you to enjoy it, I don’t know what to do…”
While Raon was tilting his head, Muston, who was following behind, came with numerous notes.
The paper was in terrible shape, as if it had just been written.
“This is…”
“It’s a challenge.”
Muston laughed, saying it was a letter from prosecutors who saw them and applied for a challenge.
“already?”
“Not already.”
Rektar calmly shook his head.
“Since you came here, you too have become swordsmen of the Holy Sword Training. “You can either take the challenge or take it.”
He laughed and said, “Wouldn’t it be fun?”
“It’s good!”
Marta twisted her lips, saying she would sweep them all away.
“Me too. “I want to fill my shortcomings.”
Buren clenched his fists and nodded heavily.
“I can’t stand still…”
Runan also expressed her own shortcomings and looked at the challenge.
“Ugh…”
Dorin An put his hand on the trembling challenge with an expression that he really didn’t want to do.
“Then me too…”
“Not Raon.”
Raon smiled and tried to examine the challenge, but Muston shook his head.
“uh?”
“I took a quick look, and there isn’t a single challenge from Raon.”
Muston shook his head, saying that only other people’s impressions were recorded and that no one had challenged the black-haired, dark-eyed prosecutor.
“Khahahahaha!”
Rektar laughed while holding his head.
“It seems like you killed your presence too much.”
He waved his hand as if he had been completely ignored.
“Uhm….”
Raon frowned. I felt regretful that if I had known this would happen, I would have boosted my momentum a little.
“Even now…”
“No, it actually went well.”
Rektar chuckled and leaned his upper body forward.
“How about taking this opportunity to become a challenger?”
“If you are a challenger….”
“All the swordsmen of the Seonggeomryeon sharpen their own sword skills. It means there is something to learn from everyone. If you are truly practicing Mangeom, you will be able to make all of them your teachers. If all goes well…”
His eyes burned hot with anticipation.
“It’s not just about creating a stepping stone to go upward, but you will be able to reach a level that only you can climb to.”
