Episode 820
“Ha….”
Raon laughed as he looked at the door burning with golden flames.
‘Was this really the right answer?’
The flame people who had been wandering around this library all day seemed to exist just to open this door.
I almost felt sorry for noticing it too late.
‘If you had seen this from the beginning…’
No, that’s not right.
After staying in this library for over half a day, I was able to see that the flame man standing in front of the wall was not moving.
Even if you had seen this wall from the beginning, you would not have guessed that there was something special hidden there.
-What is this?
Ras widened his eyes as if he could see the door made of flames.
-I can’t believe something like this happened without any phenomenon…
Looking at his reaction, it seemed like he couldn’t even sense the space behind this wall with his senses.
‘There was a phenomenon.’
-What phenomenon are you talking about?
‘I told you earlier. The flame people are on the move. ‘Those friends opened this door.’
-Well, that was real? It’s not nonsense?
Lars trembled his chin, saying it was absurd.
‘That’s right.’
– Ugh, no matter how much the main king is in his spirit form, he can’t figure out this trick…
The guy pressed his lips down as if his pride was hurt.
‘I still don’t feel any harm.’
Just like the flame people, only warmth comes from this door.
Since there was no friendly spirit or temperament, I felt like I could just go in like this.
Raon exhaled slowly and slowly walked into the door of flames.
Whoa!
As soon as I entered the door, the world darkened as if the lights in a play were turned off, and my eyes turned pitch black.
‘what?’
I was clearly in reality, but I felt like I was in a dream.
Ras, who was sitting on his shoulder, was no longer visible, and his body had become as blurry as fog.
I look around with caution, and my vision becomes brighter as if the light has come on again.
A familiar space. This was the basement library of the non-banquet where we stayed all day today.
‘No, it’s different.’
It was clearly a non-banquet underground library, but it was very different from what he had seen.
The number of bookshelves, records, and materials was smaller than now, and people dressed as civil servants were busily moving around the entire library.
‘Those people can’t be….’
Flame people?
The appearance of writing something in a book, organizing the book, and stacking documents was exactly the same as the flame people walking around inside the library.
‘Then…’
Raon swallowed dryly and looked back. He could now see the wall at the far end where he had entered, and in front of it were two warriors standing as unshakably as stone statues.
As expected, those two were swordsmen guarding this wall.
‘Strong.’
Even though I was looking at the memories, I could feel the strong power of the two prosecutors.
Although he is not as good as he is now, he is a mature grandmaster. It was surprising that soldiers with that level of skill were guarding the wall.
‘Should I go there again?’
While I was thinking about where to go, there was a commotion behind me.
When I turned my head, I saw a blonde swordsman and a wizard wearing blue robes walking down the stairs.
The prosecutors guarding the wall and the writers writing records stopped what they were doing and bowed. There was deep respect and trust in everyone’s eyes.
[You don’t have to say hello.]
The blonde swordsman waved his hand with a soft smile.
‘The first head of the family…’
I couldn’t see his face clearly, but I could tell just by looking at his hand gestures that he was Sieghardt’s first head of the family.
[Keep up the good work.]
The first head of the family gave a polite greeting to the family members and then headed towards the wall.
When he placed his hand on the wall, a door made of golden flames rose, just like the one before.
[It goes well.]
The first head of the house nodded as if she liked it.
[It would be even weirder if you and I joined forces and it didn’t work out.]
The robed wizard grumbled and entered the door first.
[I see.]
The first head of the family let out a light laugh and followed behind him.
‘I have to follow you… huh?’
As I was trying to chase after the first head of the family, my perspective naturally changed, and I found myself standing in a small room that seemed to be made of red brick.
Whoops.
Seeing the first head of the family and the wizard in front of me, it felt like I had been sucked into the flame door against my will.
[Okay.]
The first head of the house placed a book on a small bookshelf in the center of the room. The cover looked stiff, as if it had been made recently.
[Why are you making it so complicated?]
The blue-robed wizard frowned as he looked at the nameless book.
[You can convey it verbally to your immediate superior, or you can put it in the head of the family’s report like a cartoonist.]
She shook her head, saying she didn’t understand.
[That’s not enough.]
The guest housewife shook her head resolutely, despite the warmth in her voice.
[You really don’t believe me? The kids here would sacrifice their lives for you without hesitation.]
The wizard wrinkled his nose as if asking for understanding.
[I know. But the future is different.]
The first head of the family smiled softly, asking for understanding.
[In the future, our achievements will be forgotten, and various martial arts and treasures will be leaked. Among them, there may also be a cartoon ball and a ring of fire mixed in.]
[U, leak?]
The wizard widened his eyes as if this was something he had never thought of.
[okay. Probably many things.]
The first head of the family nodded as if it was no big deal.
[If you know that, you should stop it!]
[Fate is not prevented by blocking it.]
He used the word fate and showed a detached look in his eyes.
‘It’s a leak…’
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at the first head of the family.
‘Now that I think about it…’
The place where he got the ring of fire in his past life was a cave that was completely far from Sieghart.
I also thought that someone had leaked it because it was a place that did not have the feeling of an ancestor I had ever met.
‘okay. That’s most likely.’
Even if the Igigeo swordsmanship that existed in the Holy Sword Training was true, it makes no sense that the Ring of Fire did not exist in Sieghart. It really felt like something happened in the middle.
[What on earth are you looking at?]
The wizard looked at the first head of the family and raised his eyebrows.
[It’s no different from you. We just make various preparations.]
The first head of the family shrugged her shoulders, saying it was no big deal.
[Then let’s leave.]
[Are you really going to keep going like this?]
The wizard adjusted his wand and turned his head.
[You don’t even say hello to everyone?]
[You’ve already laid the foundation. [It’s better to have a dry breakup.]
The first head of the family lifted her finger, saying let’s leave.
[I don’t know if he’s cold-hearted or considerate.]
The wizard sighed and touched the ground with his staff.
[So where are you going?]
[To the south first. Because that’s the direction the ‘bastard’ last appeared. There are things I need to plant.]
[I am really busy.]
When she briefly clicked her tongue, blue light surged and enveloped the ancestors.
Whoa!
Amid the fluttering blue mana, the first head of the family looks back. His red eyes face each other quietly.
He gave me a deep smile as if he was doing well or as if telling me to have more strength.
Paaaaaa!
In a flash of intense light, the first head of the family and the wizard disappear, and the lights in the room turn off.
When I closed my eyes and opened them, I saw a ceiling made of red bricks.
‘uh? This ceiling…’
-Yumma!
As Raon was staring blankly at the ceiling, Lars jumped out in front of his eyes.
-Why are you lying still after falling?
Lars waved his arms with urgent eyes.
‘Fall?’
Raon blinked and looked around. He was lying on the floor, and when he looked back, he saw a portal of flame burning.
‘I see.’
It felt like I was being sucked into the memories of the first head of the family and rolled on the floor. The body was so strong that it didn’t look like there were any injuries.
‘Thank you for your concern.’
-Well, don’t worry!
Lars opened his rabbit-like eyes as if he was embarrassed.
-If you break down, won’t the King be able to eat rice and ice cream? That’s the only reason!
The guy gritted his teeth to stop talking nonsense.
‘Is that so?’
Raon chuckled. If he died or fainted, he could just eat his body, but seeing him worry like that was not the devil’s personality no matter how much I thought about it.
-But…
Lars narrowed his eyes.
-Where have you been?
‘Where have you been?’
-It was only for a moment, but your soul disappeared from your body.
The guy tilted his chin, saying that was why he was surprised.
-Now that I think about it, I think something similar happened before.
‘There was.’
Raon nodded calmly. Lars had said something similar when he entered the ancestor’s memories in the past. Of course, even then, unbelievable as the Demon King, he did not touch his own body.
‘I came after seeing the memories of Sieghart’s ancestors.’
-Seo, memories of ancestors? Could it be that it was a dream?
‘okay.’
Raon nodded. Since Lars trusted him, he also believed in Lars and told him that.
-There’s no way something like that would be possible without artifacts or special items, right?
Lars swallowed dryly as if he couldn’t believe it.
‘It’s not like there is no medium at all.’
The medium that connects oneself with one’s ancestors is the ring of fire and the cartoon ball. Those two martial arts men were calling themselves into the memories of their ancestors.
-But that doesn’t work! If such a thing is possible with only martial arts, then anyone can learn from their ancestors!
Lars shook his head, saying that no matter how genius he was, such a thing would be impossible.
-Are your ancestors really human?
‘Then are you a human or a demon?’
-hmm! Actually, if you look at your humanity, demon blood was never mixed.
The guy clicked his tongue, saying it had nothing to do with the demon world.
‘I never thought I would hear something like that from the devil.’
Raon chuckled and looked at the bookshelf in front of him.
The booklet I saw in my ancestors’ memories still boasted a crisp cover, as if less than an hour had passed since that moment.
‘Why did you put this book here?’
Unlike wizards, they have no prior knowledge, so they don’t know what this book is for. In the end, I had no choice but to unfold it myself.
“Whoa.”
Raon calmed his rapidly beating heart and opened the book. At that moment, a ring of fire and a cartoon ball arose simultaneously and the book began to burn with golden light.
‘This is not a book….’
It’s memory and energy.
As the book burned, the contents written within it were engraved into his mind. It was the same way as the cartoon ball.
Whoa!
The vivid fire energy contained in the book began to swirl around my entire body, connecting the ring of fire and the energy of the cartoon ball.
At the same time, the texture imprinted on the head served as a bridge to connect the two energies more naturally.
Comic Ball and Ring of Fire are both martial arts of the first head of the family, but the results are different.
It is a practice of rings of fire and flames that develops the body and soul to suit the warrior and brings out the level and senses of the soul to the maximum. It is a deep and dense circle of flame as if the mangagong, which contains various sword techniques, was all one from the beginning. I drew it.
Whoa!
Raon nodded, clutching the ashes of the booklet remaining in his hands.
‘It was something like this.’
The contents of the booklet left behind by our ancestors were simple.
Synergy between the Ring of Fire and the Cartoon Ball. Rather than achieving crude harmony as before, it was a method of maximizing the power of the cartoon ball by using a ring of fire.
It was a difficult phrase that had no effect on others, but for him, it was a special opportunity more than anything else.
‘You’ve become stronger again.’
No, I will become stronger.
Thanks to the arrangements made by the first head of the family, I was confident that I could leave a state of transcendence and become even stronger.
-What is it?
Lars frowned at Raon.
-Suddenly, the two types of fire in your body are connected so naturally.
The guy shook his head as if he had immediately noticed the change in himself.
‘It’s still weak, but it has connected the flames of Gori and Danjeon.’
-That link must not be the flame of martial arts, right?
‘that’s right. The amplification effect of the auror has become greater.’
Raon smiled as he felt the movement of the ring in his heart.
-Ugh….
Lars bit his lip.
-Why on earth are you the only one making such a fuss! Do other people just breathe in their entire lives, deciding whether to eat one or not?
The guy screamed that the world was discriminating.
‘I don’t think that would be a good thing.’
-what?
‘I think the enemy will be strong too.’
-enemy? Are you talking about the purang that brought the Elyos?
‘He is my enemy.’
Raon lowered his eyebrows and shook his head.
‘The guys called Anima who fought the ancestors.’
I definitely think he’s alive.
* * *
After leaving the banquet, Raon went to the Gajujeon, not the annex.
Since I found a new location in the underground library, I had to report it to Glenn first.
Coo coo coo coo!
As I opened the huge door of the throne room and went inside, I knelt down to Glenn, who was looking at the moon outside the window.
“See you, matriarch.”
“Get up.”
Glenn waved his hand, saying that it was a useless greeting like the first head of the family he had seen in his memory. Looking at it now, their eyes looked quite similar.
“Hmm, I heard you went to a non-banquet, have you already found something?”
He, too, seemed to sense the change in himself and his eyes fluttered.
“yes. “I found something unexpected.”
“Something unexpected?”
“Actually…”
Raon saw the Flame People through the comic book, and observed those people and told them about entering the new space created in the underground library.
“Huh, I can’t believe there was such a thing…”
Glenn let out an empty sigh as he didn’t know about that space either.
“There was only one book in it. “When I held the book, it turned into ashes and scattered like a cartoon ball given to me by the head of the family.”
“So did that also seep into your head?”
“That’s right.”
Raon nodded heavily.
“contents is?”
“It was a way to make the comics fire hotter and stronger. “It also wrote about ways to improve swordsmanship, and it was similar to my thoughts.”
In the booklet left behind by King Seonjo, there was not only information on how to strengthen the mangagong, but also information on more refined swordsmanship, and the improvements were almost similar to what he had imagined.
“It probably means that your path did not deviate from your ancestors’ will. “That’s amazing.”
Glenn smiled softly and nodded.
“People in the world just sit back and hope for talent, but talent naturally follows those who work hard. Good work.”
He laughed, saying that his efforts seemed to have produced the result. However, his expression didn’t look that good.
“grandfather.”
Raon bowed his head and called Glenn not the head of the family, but grandfather.
“Your complexion is not good. “Is it because of your sister?”
Even during training, I made time to visit Sia every day, but she still couldn’t wake up.
He seemed frustrated because his granddaughter couldn’t wake up and no information about the soul stone was coming in.
“okay. “It was so difficult to find it that I wondered if the soul stone really existed.”
Glenn sighed, saying he had no idea his position as the head of Sieghart would be so helpless.
“Are all contacts returned?”
“Most of them didn’t even know of its existence. They said they would look for it, but there was no news after that. Ah…”
He lowered his chin slightly as he spoke.
“There was no contact at all from one place.”
Glenn furrowed his brows deeply, as if he was irritated.
“Who is that?”
“Aris. “That idiot, as always, has no answer at all.”
