Episode 819
Hwaaaaa!
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at the golden flames surrounding him.
‘Aren’t you taking me back to the memories of the first head of the family?’
Usually, when you encounter a golden flame, you are taken back a thousand years to the time when the first head of the family lived, but now it just blocks your path.
It didn’t seem like a fire leading to the past like the one I experienced at Seonggeomryeon.
‘It’s not hot.’
I put my hand on the flame flickering in front of me, but I couldn’t feel the heat at all. It was as warm as the sunlight on an autumn afternoon.
‘I don’t think you’re trying to disturb me.’
I didn’t feel the slightest sense of wariness about myself in this fire, but rather it felt familiar.
‘Why are you blocking my way?’
As I narrowed my eyes, thinking it was strange, golden flames gently swayed like dawn fog and then slowly began to subside.
‘Now it’s gone.’
It was when I was about to move on again, thinking that everything had happened.
Paaaaaa!
Golden flames bounced like water drops on the ground and spread out in all directions.
Whoa!
The sparks scattered here and there took shape in the shape of a human, and began to act as if they were touching documents or reading books, just like the writers who work here.
‘What is this…’
Raon let out a sigh. Seeing the memories of the first head of the family was unrealistic, but seeing the flames moving in the shape of a person like this made me feel like I was dreaming.
-What are you doing?
Lars lowered one of his eyebrows, asking why he was blank.
-What I’m saying is, don’t waste time and finish it quickly!
The guy took a quick look and waved his hand, saying that we should go get something to eat.
“Lord Gwangpung. “What’s going on?”
Chad was also tilting his head as if he didn’t feel anything.
Neither of them seemed to see the flame men.
‘Is it only visible to me?’
Raon’s fingertips trembled as he saw the flame man sticking out through Chad.
‘Now that I think about it…’
The humans made of flames seemed to be working, but they couldn’t actually touch the books or bookshelves.
Like a ghost, it couldn’t have any material impact and seemed to only be visible to itself.
“Non-banquet owner. “Is it always like this here?”
Raon shook his head briefly as he looked at the flame man that came out of Chad’s shoulder.
“Hmm, now that I think about it, it seems like it’s hotter than usual today.”
Chad rolled up his sleeves and lowered his eyebrows.
“This library is always kept cool to protect important books and documents, but the temperature seems to have risen a little today.”
He headed to the right wall to check the thermostat.
“….”
Raon narrowed his eyes not at Chad, but at the flame people walking back and forth next to him.
‘What are you doing?’
The flame people walked around this entire wreck filled with fodder, writing things down and acting like they were reading. It really felt like I was seeing people working here.
“Hmm, there is no problem with the device, but this is strange.”
Chad quenched his appetite, saying he might have to call a wizard later.
“For now, I will continue with the guidance. “Please come this way.”
“…yes.”
Raon nodded and followed behind Chad.
The flame people only focused on their own work, not paying any attention to Chad or themselves.
-What’s going on with you?
Lars examined his face and tilted his head. After living together for a long time, I felt like I knew his condition just by looking at his facial expressions.
‘Now the flame people have come out and are cleaning up this accident.’
-What a bountiful harvest.
The guy waved his hand and told me to go away if he was going to talk nonsense.
‘…I guess that’s what it sounds like.’
Raon grinned, followed behind Chad, and headed inside.
I don’t know why it exists, and it doesn’t have any effect on myself or others, so I just stopped paying attention to it.
“Starting from here are historical materials that contain history from 700 years ago.”
Chad took out an old book. Even though it was a 700-year-old book, it did not look that old because it was well preserved.
“If you look at the content here, it says, ‘The first patriarch closed the heavens of hell and opened the world of humans.’”
He turned the book over and showed it to himself.
“okay.”
Raon nodded while looking at the book. As Chad said, it had information about the legend of the first family head written in magnificent cursive.
“Of course, this kind of information can be found in any family or kingdom.”
Chad laughed, saying that legends like this are piled up in prestigious kingdoms and families.
“The only thing that’s a little unusual is…”
He took an older book and opened it, his intelligent eyes flashing.
“Everywhere it is written that the sky has been closed.”
The book Chad showed included the phrase that our ancestors closed the pitch-black sky.
“sky?”
“yes. Isn’t it unusual? For a normal family or kingdom, it would be about hunting an amazing monster, defeating a demon king, or catching a familiar demon dragon, but in our case, there were many phrases about closing various types of heaven.”
He took a quick bite, saying it was unusual.
“Oh, of course I’m saying it’s strange, not funny.”
Chad waved his hands as if he thought he was misunderstanding.
“no. “I have similar thoughts.”
Raon nodded calmly.
‘Because his actions were unusual in many ways.’
Sieghart’s training center, the undersea dungeon, the World Tree, Sword Zone’s tomb, and even the land of the Holy Swordsman’s predecessor. The seeds he planted have spread widely and deeply.
It really seemed like the opponent had to be hell or heaven to make a profit.
“Oh oh! “This is the first time someone agrees with my opinion!”
Chad came forward, smiling brightly as if he was in a good mood.
“First, I will select the books that remain in my memory. Of course, I haven’t read all of the historical materials here, so I won’t be able to find them all.”
He pulled out dozens of books in a matter of minutes and placed them down in front of him.
As expected, he was an unusual person to remember the entire contents of these books.
“It’s a shame, but I think I’ll have to leave now. “I have a morning meeting.”
Chad piled a mountain of books in front of him and carefully lowered his head.
“Thank you for taking care of me even though I came early.”
Raon put down the book he was reading and bent down to Chad.
“no! “If it weren’t for the meeting, I would have looked for books all day, but that’s a shame.”
Chad clicked his tongue as if he was truly sorry.
“no. From now on, I will look for it.”
Raon smiled slightly and lowered his head.
“All right. “If you need help, please call me anytime.”
Chad said a polite hello and headed toward the exit. It felt really regretful to look back every once in a while.
“….”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Chad’s back.
‘Are you still following Karun?’
Chad was the one who gave help and recognition even when everyone else ignored him.
I thought it would be difficult to completely believe it because it could have been sent by Karun or another direct lineage like Judiel, but these days, it feels a little different.
‘For now, let’s just do our own thing.’
No matter who Chad follows, what is certain is that he has affection for Sieghardt.
There was no need to worry about the non-banquet unless I was going to compete for the head of the house, so I sat down and opened the book.
-Why not pay attention to the supreme beings who have lived for thousands of years, rather than the humans of a thousand years ago?
Lars waved his chubby hand, telling me not to waste my time.
‘A supreme being who has lived for thousands of years can’t possibly be…’
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he looked at Lars.
‘it’s you?’
-of course! There is no being in this world more noble and knowledgeable than this King!
Lars spread his hands gracefully, as if he didn’t even know that he was like cotton candy.
‘…Then have you heard of Anima?’
-Is this the name of the new ice cream? It looks delicious!
The guy took a long sip. Even though I heard it from Sword Zone, it seemed like I had forgotten it.
‘Of course it is.’
Raon sighed and turned his attention back to the book.
-Okay! Well, then finish it quickly. King Bon still has a lot of things he wants to eat….’
‘Quiet before eating the Nadin bread.’
-Sigh!
Lars closed his mouth immediately without a second thought.
‘I guess I don’t like Nadine bread.’
-of course! I hate them on the same level as those crazy women!
The guy shook his head, saying he absolutely hated it.
‘They love you a lot, right? I will lead the way…’
-Shut up!
* * *
“damn!”
A swallow sitting on a tree branch looked down at the non-banquet building and frowned.
“Where did it go?”
Raon’s presence after following the frowning person suddenly disappeared.
Even though I was looking through the window, I felt frustrated because I couldn’t tell its location.
“I can’t go in even with this body…”
That building was tightly guarded as it was Sieghardt’s information gathering group, so not even a rat could enter.
It was like an iron wall even for me, who could borrow the bodies of many animals.
“joy.”
A sound like a laugh was heard in the air. When I raised my head, there was a very light pink mist that looked like melted azaleas.
It’s that stalker. After fighting on the cliff all day, we ended up in a draw, reached a small agreement, and entered Sieghardt at the same time.
“Is that all it is?”
Rust looked down at Merlin and snorted.
“Well, that’s probably the limit of human stalking. “The effort was negligible.”
She let out a small sneer, saying that it seemed like the winner was now decided.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Merlin looked up at the Rust that had dissolved the spirit body in the air and his wings trembled.
“I am the stalker who can best follow him around.”
Rust, as if he thought he had won the stalking battle, calmed his pink air and walked very slowly towards the non-banquet building.
Other than the slug-like slow speed, it seemed like no one would really notice.
“Ugh….”
Merlin chewed his beak until it bled. While I was contemplating whether to bring back the body even if it meant throwing away the soul, I found a small spider hanging in the crack of the window.
“That’s it!”
Merlin flew right away and stood in front of the spider.
“!”
The spider trembled, unable to move, as if it had been caught by a predator and was frightened.
“are you okay. are you okay.”
Merlin had a soul conversation with the spider. The success rate against insects was extremely slim, but that didn’t matter right now. We had to do it somehow, even if it was only with spirit.
Wooooow!
Fortunately, the spider listened to his request. Of course, Raon will pay the price later, but for now, I only thought about winning.
“Heng!”
Merlin let the swallow fly and lifted his head up, immersed in the spider’s body.
“When are you going to come in so slowly? “We’re all going to die of old age!”
Merlin waved his hand towards the slowly flowing rust and crawled through the crack of the window.
“That’s really…”
Rust forced himself out and climbed up the window. She used up her soul to block the window frame where Merlin was trying to enter.
“Move!”
“You can’t go!”
The 241st duel between Rust and Merlin, who became spiders and clouds, has begun.
* * *
“Haa….”
Raon sighed briefly as he put down a history book from 900 years ago.
‘It’s not here either.’
The booklet that Chad took out contained all information about the first Sieghart family head.
However, there was no information about what the first head of the family actually did or who they fought.
There were only records of unbelievable achievements such as closing the sky or destroying hell, and establishing Sieghardt afterwards.
‘There must be something else…’
What he wanted to see was not this, but the Anima that the first head of the family fought and the things he had prepared.
I felt like I needed to look into the past a little more.
‘The next book is…’
I stretched my hand to the right, but couldn’t catch anything. In the meantime, it looks like Chad has read all the books he had piled up.
‘Wow, already?’
-already? What are you doing?
Lars frowned and made a round face.
-This is the basement, but it’s already night outside! What are you doing without even eating?
The guy grabbed his collar and shook it up and down, asking why he had to starve at home.
“Hmm…”
Raon looked up at the ceiling and savored his appetite.
‘It looks like it’s really evening.’
Seeing that I was getting hungry, it seemed like a lot of time had passed, just as Lars said.
‘Then Nadine bread….’
-Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
When I touched the subspace pocket to take out Nadine’s bread, Lars ground his teeth like an angry animal.
-If you take out that bread, the king will die, and you will die too!
Lars trembled with his fists, saying, “Let’s all die.” At first glance, it looked like a fluffy puppy and was cute, but I couldn’t take out Nadine’s bread because I had been waiting quietly until now.
‘okay. Let’s go back today.’
-It will happen soon!
‘I’ll just clean it up quickly.’
I rearranged the books Raon read into the bookshelf.
The flame people were still roaming throughout this library, but I had gotten used to it after seeing it so often that I didn’t feel much of it anymore.
After putting the last book in the bookshelf, I was about to turn around, but some of the fire people were acting strangely.
‘What are you doing?’
Although they couldn’t actually do it, unlike the flame people who seemed to be looking at books, pulling out books, and organizing them, the two flame people only stood in front of the wall at the far end and did not move.
‘That figure…’
Is it an escort?
His gaze didn’t even move, and his posture of standing in place looked like he was protecting something.
“hmm.”
Raon swallowed his dry saliva and approached the wall where the two flame people were standing.
-What are you going to do again?
‘for a moment.’
I covered Lars’ mouth as he tried to run wild and stood in front of the wall. The flame man still didn’t move from his spot, as if he didn’t recognize him.
Toouk.
Raon let out a low breath and placed his hand on the wall. Naturally, nothing happened.
‘Isn’t that true?’
I was about to let go and let go of my hand when I felt the warm energy I felt when I first came here from the flame people on either side of me.
‘No way…’
Raon pressed his lips and used the fire ring and cartoon ball at the same time.
Hwaaaaa!
At that moment, the flame people standing on both sides. No, the flame people in this space gathered at his fingertips and opened a portal of flame on the wall in front of him.
