Episode 832
“It’s so funny and embarrassing!”
Aris frowned and kicked the butt of a hunched middle-aged man.
“Ouch!”
The middle-aged man fell on the spot, holding his buttocks. Looking at the way he straightened his back, it seemed like he was acting with his back bent.
“Why, why are you hitting me! “I overcame the risk of death to bring you information…”
“Have you already forgotten the hardships you suffered because of that damned information?”
Aris tapped the middle-aged man’s forehead, asking if he didn’t remember.
“It’s dirty! It’s cold! It’s hot! “It was a really fucking dungeon!”
She trembled with her clenched fists as she said she was thinking about destroying the entire dungeon.
“If it’s news from the master…”
Raon lowered his gaze and looked at the middle-aged man.
“Are you sure it’s about Brother Sif?”
“that’s right.”
Aris clicked her tongue briefly and nodded.
“I told you I went to the dungeon to find my son. “This guy is the one who asked for that information.”
She wrinkled her nose as she looked at the middle-aged man.
“La, are you Raon? “My name is Paras, Aris’ informant.”
The middle-aged man introduced himself as Paras and bowed his head.
“This is Raon Sieghardt.”
Since he was said to be Aris’ informant, I politely accepted his greeting.
“There is no need to be polite. “I came from a thief background.”
“…A thief?”
“okay. I met him on a mission and rehabilitated him as an informant. “It was quite usable because it had a tune, but now that it’s old, it’s not the same as it used to be.”
Aris shook his head, saying he wasn’t happy with how things were going these days.
“Well, so I went alone and checked again.”
Paras knelt in front of Aris and raised his gaze.
“Dungeon?”
“yes! “Isn’t it so strange that there’s nothing in a dungeon like that?”
“Who would have taken it first?”
Aris shrugged, saying that it was very common for the dungeon to be empty.
“And it doesn’t matter what’s in the dungeon. “The question is whether our damn son went there or not, but there was no trace.”
“But considering Sif’s movements, there is no place to go other than that dungeon!”
Paras shook his head, asking if it was clear that Sif had passed through Bulang Village.
“Ha, so what did you want me to see in the dungeon you went back to?”
Aris lifted her chin as if she wanted to listen.
“There’s one thing I learned first.”
Paras raised his sparkling eyes.
“I was in the dungeon for four days, but only one day had passed since I came out. I thought the time axis was moving slowly, but it seems the opposite is true!”
He shook his head, saying that the speed at which time passes changes randomly.
“Is that a discovery?”
Aris raised his fist, saying he knew that would happen.
“Okay, listen to the end!”
Paras waved his hands and his chin trembled.
“I finally gave up and was about to go back, but I found monsters heading towards the dungeon!”
“Monster?”
“yes. “They were covered in robes full of dust, and the energy they felt was ominous.”
He swallowed dryly, saying that just looking at it gave him goosebumps.
“I was following it because I thought there was something there, but as I expected, it went into the dungeon.”
“Hmm…”
Aris lowered her fist that was about to reach out and nodded.
“Keep going.”
“Oh, yes!”
Paras took a deep breath and sat up straight.
“After killing as many as I could, I followed behind them. As Aris knows, the dungeon changes constantly, making you lose your way, but they found the correct path as if they had a map. “It took less than a few hours to reach the end of the dungeon.”
He continued speaking with his voice lowered as if someone was listening.
“They put down a red gem at the end of the dungeon where we returned without finding anything and started chanting an unknown spell.”
Paras put his hands together as if imitating the monsters.
“As I looked down, enduring the stinging pain in my ears, black smoke rose from beneath their feet, and a pitch-black hole opened. “There was a way down!”
He bit his lip as if he was still trembling.
“hole?”
Aris narrowed her eyes at Paras.
“It does not make sense. “When I spread the energy, I couldn’t feel anything down there.”
She shook her head, saying it was just an ordinary piece of land.
“I told you. “He used witchcraft!”
Paras again described the actions of the shamans, saying that he had personally seen them.
“Hmm…”
Aris narrowed her eyes as if she was worried.
-If it were a mother like that, even the king would run away! Not looking for it is helping!
Ras shook his head, telling Sif not to cause any more pain than this.
‘You never know.’
It’s good if Sif was really trying to get away from Aris, but something bad could have happened, so finding her was the first priority.
“You said there were even jewels, right?”
Aris looked at Paras and spread his fingers.
“yes? yes! “Each person placed a jewel on the ground.”
“It would be difficult to fool my senses with magic alone. But if the gem is an artifact, there is a chance.”
She nodded, saying that if it was a space where artifacts and even magic were used, she might not even know about it.
“I had a similar experience not long ago.”
Raon took a step forward, looking at Paras.
“I didn’t know there was a path leading underground, even though it was right in front of me.”
I told him that could be the case, recalling the door to the basement library in the non-congregationalist office.
“good. “Keep going.”
Aris tilted his chin as if he had decided to believe Paras’ words.
“Thank you.”
Paras bowed his head to Raon and continued talking.
“I followed those three guys down the dark, shimmering hole. “It gave me goosebumps, as if I was walking down the road to the demon world.”
-What nonsense! The Demon World is not such a vicious place!
Lars yelled at me not to make noise if I didn’t know any better.
“The road wasn’t very long, but I could tell it was a very deep descent. “After killing even more of the presence, when we escaped the black hole, a strange space appeared where the ceiling, floor, and even walls seemed to be made of iron.”
“A space made of iron?”
“yes. There was no place to hide, so I was trying to move carefully when I heard human moans coming from the iron wall and underground. Only then did I find out. “This is a prison.”
He said he was still shaking and grabbed his shoulders.
“It’s a prison made of iron, including the walls, ceiling, and floor…”
Rimmer frowned.
“I think I heard that somewhere.”
“It’s the Iron Juryeon that started a war over a hundred years ago.”
Aris lowered her eyebrows, saying it looked like a trace of iron casting.
‘Cheoljuryun…’
Raon slightly lowered his chin.
‘It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.’
The Iron Juryeon is a military group that created weapons and armor capable of blocking strong forces by combining armor and magic.
I heard that it was a powerful force comparable to Ohwang-Oma, but it eventually fell after an excessive war of conquest.
“I didn’t see the Iron Juryeon prison, but it was similar to what I heard.”
Paras took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“Those shamans walked the iron path with familiar steps, but I couldn’t follow them.”
He narrowed his shoulders and quivered his lips.
“My sense of living as a thief. “They warned me that if I went any further than this, I would die.”
Paras raised his frightened eyes, saying that if he had disobeyed that warning, he would not be here now.
‘I guess so.’
Raon nodded calmly.
As Paras said, if there really was a prison made of iron, the internal boundaries would be much stronger. If you think about it, it was a good thing that he came back safely.
“It’s too dangerous, so I thought I’d have to go alone and was about to go back…”
Paras swallowed dryly and raised his head.
“I heard Sif’s screams from the deepest part of the prison.”
“Sif?”
“yes!”
He let out a shaky breath, saying it was definitely Sif’s voice.
“Fuck you…”
Aris frowned at Paras.
“There is no way Sif could be held in a place like that! Plus, there are plenty of people with similar voices!”
She shook her head as if she was saying absolutely nothing, but her expression became serious.
“You know. “I heard Sif’s screams more than anyone else as she was beaten and thrown away by Aris.”
Paras said he knew it well because he trained with Sif, and his hand on the ground trembled.
“Besides, as I said at the beginning, it is certain that Sif went to that dungeon. “I wonder if you went to the dungeon alone and got caught by the shamans…”
He held his head, saying he was worried about Sif.
“….”
Raon turned his gaze from Paras and looked at Aris. Her eyes were shaking and she was biting her nails.
A side that was not shown even during the war. I was truly embarrassed.
“Go, if you want to go, you have to move as fast as possible.”
Paras knelt down and bowed his head.
“When you see that cracked voice, you might not last much longer.”
“Aris-sama….”
Lavawin couldn’t come up with any advice and just chewed his lip.
“Ugh…”
Aris was sweating coldly, messing with her hair, and finally walked towards Raon as if she had made a decision.
“Raon. sorry. “I think I should go see Sia later.”
She shook her head, deciding to find Sif first.
“I will go too.”
Raon raised his calm eyes towards Aris, who lowered her head.
“Why are you…”
“I want to meet my handsome brother, and I also want to see the faces of those who kidnapped people.”
I wanted to go there because that unique dungeon might have been created by our ancestors.
“But you have to save Sia! “Think of your family first!”
Aris frowned, telling him to go back to Sieghart and take care of the soul stone first.
“Of course it is important. But…”
Raon smiled softly, holding Aris’ trembling hand.
“Your aunt is also my family.”
“What’s going on? “Well said!”
“you’re right. “We’ve been helped every time, so now we have to help too.”
“Aunt…”
Marta, Buren, and Runan also nodded as if they were thinking the same thing.
“You guys…”
In the end, Aris was unable to continue speaking and lowered her head.
* * *
“Hmm….”
Padric scratched the side of his head after finishing Sia’s examination.
“Why, why?”
Sylvia put her hands together and leaned forward so much that she fell.
“What happened to Sia?”
She showed a desperate look in her eyes as if she would sacrifice her soul for Sia.
“Saint…”
Edgar also called out to Pedric with his lips turning blue as if he was nervous.
“It’s not a big deal.”
Pedric shook his head lightly, saying there was no need to be so nervous.
“It seems like the interval between Sia’s soul shaking has become a little faster, but I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.”
He lowered his eyebrows, saying that it may not necessarily be a bad thing as it may be an adaptation stage.
“…You should speak faster.”
Glenn furrowed his brows as he looked at Pedric. He, too, seemed to be nervous, and his complexion turned pale.
“This is my first time seeing a patient like Sia! “Every step is like walking on thin ice.”
Pedric shook his head, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He let out a long breath, as if he was exhausted just from the examination.
“Whatever it is, it’s okay now, right?”
Glenn asked about Sia’s condition with dry lips.
“okay. It’s not a move of great significance. However, as I said before, we don’t know what will happen in the future, so it would be better to find the soul stone as quickly as possible.”
Pedric shook his beard, saying that treatment must be done quickly to reduce the risk.
“I’m sorry…”
Sylvia touched Sia’s hand and buried her face in the bed.
“….”
Edgar also held Sylvia’s shoulders tightly, keeping the many words in his mouth.
“…i get it.”
Glenn nodded heavily and walked out of the hospital room.
“Whoa…”
He breathed the night air and sighed, something he couldn’t tell his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter who couldn’t wake up.
‘I’m helpless.’
It was frustrating that there was nothing I could do with the nickname Raijin and Sieghart. I felt like I was back in my childhood when I couldn’t do anything.
However, I couldn’t move it myself. If information leaks out and Oma attacks while you are not there, damage will be on a whole different level than before.
“It’s stuffy.”
Glenn looked at the night sky and pressed his aching temples.
I let out a little annoyance and was about to go back to the family hall, when I saw Chad, the non-banquet hall owner, running towards me from afar.
“Go, matriarch! “Matriarch!”
Chad exhaled, unable to speak properly.
“slowly.”
Glenn waved his hand at Chad.
“What’s going on?”
“Ra-on has sent a letter to the head of the family!”
Chad said he had just arrived and held out a white envelope.
“So you’ve arrived at the island?”
Glenn accepted the envelope with a slight smile. I opened the letter, thinking that I should at least ease my mind by looking at my grandson’s neat handwriting.
“hmm…?”
But Glenn couldn’t laugh. His chin trembled as he looked at the contents of the letter.
“Is this real?”
“Well, I didn’t see it because it was the head of the family’s family…”
Chad blinked, wondering what was going on.
“…They say they found the soul stone.”
Glenn immediately turned his back and kicked in the door of Pedric’s mansion.
“Oh, father?”
“father?”
Sylvia and Edgar blinked at Glenn.
“What are you doing?”
Pedric twirled his fingers, wondering if he was out of his mind.
“Raon found the soul stone!”
Glenn showed Raon’s letter and smiled brightly for the first time in a long time.
“La-Raon?”
“already…?”
“Huh!”
Sylvia, Edgar, and Pedric all widened their eyes as if they were surprised.
“Raon….”
Sylvia also seemed to be so moved that the tears she had been holding back fell.
“I didn’t expect to find it so quickly. “He’s my grandson after all!”
Glenn let out an exclamation as he said the words he had been unable to say because he was embarrassed.
“No! Before that, he was my son!”
Sylvia wiped away the tears from her eyes and smiled.
“My son is also my son… no!”
Edgar pursed his lips, but immediately lowered his head when he noticed Sylvia and Glenn’s gaze.
“Do I have anything? “The lifesaver is too weak…”
Padric licked his lips and rolled his eyes.
For the first time in a long time, there was a warm atmosphere in Sia’s hospital room.
* * *
Raon gestured to Lars from the deck of the blue wind that cut through the waves.
‘Las.’
-Why are you calling me?
Lars slightly raised his head and rolled his eyes.
‘You were looking forward to the festival. ‘Why are you still?’
-Even the king knows that family is important.
The guy shook his head.
-Don’t view King Bon as too cold-blooded.
‘…thanks.’
-joy!
Ras snorted while looking at the sea.
‘And I have something to ask you.’
-What?
‘Rust.’
-Kyaaaaaaa!
Lars fell down in the same state he was in.
-where! where are you! Where is that madwoman!
‘….’
-uh? What, what! Didn’t he show up?
‘I just called Rust’s name.’
Raon let out a laugh. I knew Lars was afraid of Rust, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.
-Hehe hum! So what are you trying to ask?
Lars slowly floated away with his face red as if he was embarrassed.
‘Well, Rust is a demon lord you can trust, right?’
-You can trust it…
Lars smoothed his chin.
-You may have seen it too, but you can never trust it in terms of stalking. However, if you ask about basic trust, there is no demon you can trust more than that guy.
The guy nodded, saying he would keep his promise except for stalking.
‘I can trust it if it’s your guarantee.’
Raon smiled and turned around.
-It’s not that easy to say.
I don’t know what Lars was thinking, but he shook his head and told me to use my best judgment.
‘I believe in you who believes in Rust.’
-Uhm….
The guy couldn’t speak and his eyelids fluttered.
“Merlin, Rust. come out.”
I couldn’t sense any sign of Merlin or Rust, but I called out to them, thinking they would definitely be there.
Whoa!
As soon as Raon finished speaking, a pink air current appeared in the air, and the sea otter we had seen before jumped onto the boat.
“You’re the first to find it, so there’s a big problem!”
Merlin laughed as if he was in a good mood and shook a small stone to break open the shells.
“Huh…”
Rust was still sobbing as if he couldn’t believe he had lost.
-What, what! Are these crazy things still following you around?
Lars screamed at Merlin and Rust.
-And why did you call these things!
The guy shook his head, saying he didn’t understand.
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
Raon took out the soul stone he had kept in his chest.
“Take this soul stone to Sieghart.”
While saying that, he held out the soul stone to the two people.
“uh…?”
Merlin widened his eyes in surprise.
“Your mother and grandfather are probably worried, so I want to reassure them first.”
Raon bowed his head, saying please.
“You’re leaving this important thing to me?”
Merlin’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Hmm…”
Rust also lowered his eyebrows as if he knew the general situation.
“okay. “Because I trust you.”
Raon nodded as he said that.
-Oh, no! You shouldn’t have said that to those stalkers!
Ra’on’s words flowed out as if Ra’s’ shout was meaningless, and the eyes of Merlin and Rust burned into fierce flames.
