Chapter 225
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the boxes engraved with red and blue dragons.
‘Is this a legendary artifact?’
Michelle did not take it out prepared in advance, but took this box out of a clump of clutter. It was absurd to say that it was a legendary artifact after giving it away like a stone thrown from the floor.
‘Because everything is managed like that.’
She also scattered all the advanced artifacts she returned on the floor. Originally, she seemed to be the kind of person who lives without tidying up.
“Open it.”
“All right.”
Raon met Michelle’s expectant eyes and opened the box.
‘ring?’
Inside the box was a ring, but its shape was unusual. The red dragon and the blue dragon had a bizarre shape that continued biting each other’s tails.
‘Such craftsmanship… .’
The two dragons that formed the ring had not only their features, but each of their scales was as smooth as if they were alive. It was clear that the work of a renowned artisan was evident from the detail put into such a small ring.
“It’s an artifact called Blue and Red Ring. Raon-nim can use both fire and water attributes, so that ring will be helpful.”
“Fire speed and procedure?”
“yes. It has the ability to increase the power of fire-attribute mana and water-attribute mana, and to alleviate internal shock.”
“ah… .”
Raon opened his mouth wide while looking at the blue and red hwan. As Michelle said, if it strengthens the aura of the two attributes and has the effect of alleviating internal injuries, it was the perfect artifact for her.
‘Did they prepare it in advance?’
It seems that Michel heard the story of this battle and picked out the most necessary artifacts.
“I didn’t want to sell this and keep it as a souvenir, but in the end, I found the owner.”
Michelle looked at the blue and red ring with faint eyes. She seemed to have some circumstances.
“Can I really take it?”
Raon licked his lips as he swiped down the box containing the blue and red pills. I received a huge price for being a first-mover, but it was quite burdensome to receive such a ring.
In particular, it was not an ordinary mission, but it was something that moved to save people’s lives, so it bothered me.
“Sure. If Raon-nim accepts the creator of this artifact, he will be happy.”
“producer?”
“Whoops.”
Michelle smiled lightly and looked at the seat next to her.
“Raon-nim looks good in both natural light and indoor lighting.”
Ensia was smiling at Raon holding a blue and red ring.
“no way?”
“that’s right. The Blue and Red Ring is the first legendary artifact created by Encia. As soon as I made it, the symptoms appeared, so I couldn’t even promote it.”
“her… .”
Raon looked at Ensia and let out a fuss.
‘Does this make sense?’
No matter how much you look at it, Encia’s age is only in her early to mid-twenties. She said it was two years ago when she fell, which meant she created this legend-class artifact when she was about 20 years old. She was dumbfounded and couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
“There must be a genius who will shake the continent here too.”
“It is unheard of and unheard of to create a legendary artifact in your 20s… .”
Cheryl and Federick’s eyes widened when they heard that the creator of the blue and red ring was Encia.
“Whoops.”
The genius didn’t even know that he was praising himself, and was looking at Raon and wandering around.
“Encia.”
“You are really handsome.”
“Ansia?”
“No matter how I look at it, I don’t get tired of it… evil!”
It wasn’t until Michelle slapped her back that the focus returned to Encia’s eyes.
“Encia. Is it okay if I give the blue and red pill to Raon?”
“Sure. Because the completion of a work is achieved when you meet a good owner.”
Encia’s sea-blue eyes shone with a subtle light. I thought that this was the true face of a craftsman making legendary artifacts in his 20s.
“Actually, that ring has one more effect.”
“Are you saying there are other abilities besides mana enhancement and internal injury mitigation?”
“yes!”
Encia nodded with a confident gesture.
‘After all, he’s not an ordinary person.’
A person who was nominated as the successor of the Yonan family and created a legendary artifact in his 20s cannot be an idiot who only cares about his face.
“Then what is the fourth ability?”
Raon opened his mouth with his chest wet with the tension he had when he first met Nsia.
“It’s an unexpected ability for me too, but it makes my skin smoother and my complexion a bit brighter.”
“yes?”
His jaw returned to his mother with an unexpected ability.
“It’s simply a cosmetic effect! I can’t wait to see how much better Raon will look if he wears it!”
Ensia rubbed her hands and pushed her face forward. It was about to flow from her gaping mouth to her saliva.
“Hurry up and put it on!”
She made a big gesture as if to wear a blue and red ring.
“Um… .”
Raon swallowed a dry saliva.
‘I thought wrong.’
It seems that the appearance that only focuses on the face is real, and the mysterious atmosphere shown earlier is fake.
“Come on!”
“Um, I see.”
He let out a small sigh and put on the blue and red ring. Contrary to what she thought it would be rough, the ring fit gently on her finger.
Gooooo!
The moment the blue and red rings were completely worn, blue and red lights radiated from the eyes of the two dragons, and the thread-like energy pierced the mana circuit and blended into the manga artist and Glacia, who had been submerged in the dungeon.
Whoops!
The energy of the cartoonist and Glacia stood up on its own, but its hardness and size were different from before. The mana-enhancing effect of the Blue and Red Ring was faster and larger than expected.
‘I know what the internal protection effect is.’
Inside the body, soft yet small grains of mana spread innumerable, and it seemed to alleviate the shock of the organs.
‘amazing… .’
Raon’s eyes lit up as he looked at the blue and red rings. As soon as I put it on, I felt the strengthening and internal wound defense effects immediately, so it wasn’t an artifact that went up to the legendary level for nothing.
– No hey hey!
Lars climbed onto the bracelet and wrinkled his nose.
-Why in the world are there so many hogu! Why is everyone so upset that I can’t give it to you!
The guy yelled at me for taking so much for a single mission. It seemed that his stomach was twisted by receiving a lot of stats and collecting rewards again.
– Stupid hogu bastards!
Raon smiled as he watched Lars blowing cold steam over his head.
You are the best among them.
Since you can’t cut down a generously given tree, I didn’t tell you that one of the hukou was Ras himself.
“This is great.”
Raon raised the blue and red ring and smiled excitedly.
“uh?”
However, people were widening their eyes at their own faces, not blue-and-red ones.
“Huh!”
“My face really shines… .”
“Your handsomeness has doubled! His face is full of handsomeness!”
Michelle and Federick let out a fuss, and Ensia opened her eyes wide enough to pop out.
“Yeah, that ring has an effect. You can feel the spirit in your face.”
Even Cheryl, who doesn’t care about her appearance, stuttered slightly in surprise.
“Whoa… .”
Raon let out a short sigh as he removed the blue and red ring from his finger.
I guess this ring should only be worn when fighting.
* * *
morning three days later.
Raon and Sieghart’s swordsman melted away the fatigue of the journey and were ready to depart for Sieghart again.
There were accessories on the wrists and fingers of the swordsmen that I hadn’t seen before, all of which were artifacts gifted by Ensia.
“Prepare to depart. Make sure nothing is left behind.”
As always, Cheryl was the first to check on the state of the prosecutors.
“yes!”
Raon and the prosecutors nodded and checked the equipment and luggage once again.
“It’s too bad that I won’t be able to see Raon-nim for a while… .”
Encia, whose dark eyes seemed to have stayed up all night, closed her mouth and frowned.
“I’m not going to lie and I want to get sick again.”
Seriously, her eyes didn’t budge at all. She was starting to get a little scared now.
“His handsomeness, his handsomeness. boring. boring… .”
“Still, today is the last time I meet that self-esteem thief. Be patient.”
Dorian and Crane shook their heads away from Ansia.
“What are you talking about! I’m the one going to the exclusive deal with Sieghart! I will continue to see you in the future, so please continue to take good care of me!”
Ensia looked back at the two and smiled.
“That self-esteem ghost is coming. Even Sieghart… .”
“huh.”
“Dorian.”
“huh.”
“Let’s die.”
“huh!”
Crane and Dorian sat down on the floor with distorted faces.
“Ensia-sama.”
Burren approached Encia, touching the turquoise necklace around her neck.
“Can I really accept this?”
“that’s right. Compared to Raon, we haven’t done much.”
Marta frowned as she looked at the brown bracelet she wore on her wrist, as if it bothered her.
“Sure. You stopped the assassins’ attacks, and you saved Letran. Don’t be burdened.”
Ansia nodded with a cool smile.
“In addition, Yonan and Sieghart will walk together from now on. Think of it as a gift and a bribe that became a witness to the contract.”
She waved her hand, joking around so that the prosecutors would not be burdened.
“Well, then I will be grateful.”
Burren bowed his head respectfully. Martha also nodded her head in gratitude.
‘You also have a good personality.’
Raon smiled lightly at Ensia as she greeted the prosecutors. Not only her ability, but also her caring mind is outstanding. I could see why everyone in this family loved her.
“Laon! Can’t you live here? That face is almost addictive! It’s a drug!”
It would be great if you could just leave that out… .
Raon sighed and turned around.
“Laon.”
Michelle came over and smiled lightly.
“I have something to tell you, is that okay?”
“of course.”
Raon nodded and followed Michelle.
“I should have told you before, but I’m just saying it now.”
She stopped at the entrance to a garden where two trees were tangled together.
“Do you have a fiancé?”
“Yes?”
Raon widened his eyes. I thought I was going to talk about work, but what came out of Michelle’s mouth was about an unexpected engagement.
“From the look on your face, it seems you’re not there.”
“Yes, it is.”
“Then, how about considering my daughter as a spouse?”
Michelle held Runan’s hand and looked at Ensia, who was teaching them strange words.
“It’s not because she’s my daughter, but when I look at her objectively, I don’t think her personality, looks, or abilities are all bad. Our family will not bow down anywhere either.”
She continued with a light smile.
“I myself like Raon very much, so can you think about it?”
Michelle’s tone was calm. It wasn’t a joke, it meant the truth.
“hmm… .”
Raon let out a short breath.
‘I’ve never thought of anything like that.’
The first goal in this life was revenge, and the second goal was the return of Sylvia to her immediate family and the happiness of the people in the annex.
There were a lot of things that happened after that, and there were more enemies.
In particular, throwing Derus into the gutter was impossible without risking one’s life. He never thought about his future because he never knew when he would die. I was just thinking about getting stronger.
“I’m sorry, but I haven’t thought about that yet. There is no time to think.”
Raon lowered his head and politely expressed his refusal.
“As expected.”
Michelle nodded as if she knew that.
“Did I say that I gained trust by looking into Raon-nim’s eyes?”
“yes.”
“It’s true that there was sincerity in those serious eyes, but I didn’t see any composure or expectations. I wish she thought of herself a little more.”
She made eye contact and smiled softly.
“hmm… .”
Raon swallowed a dry saliva. Being a noble class of Manchuria, even if it wasn’t for swordsmanship, it seemed that people who reached the level had different eyes.
‘future.’
Just in case. It really didn’t hurt to think about the future a little bit, since he might still be alive after everything was over.
“Thanks for the advice.”
Raon bowed his head politely.
“That said, the offer I made a moment ago wasn’t just what I said.”
“yes?”
“Please think about having Ensia as your partner in the future.”
“I am still a collateral. Meeting is in direct line… .”
“Seeing that it is still there, you must have the confidence to go up. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Michelle waved her hand and walked over to Cheryl.
“Cluck!”
I turned my head to a loud laugh. Federick was smiling as he came out of the mansion.
“It must feel like you’ve been hit.”
“That’s right.”
Raon scratched his red cheeks. After all, there was no one easy to deal with among the heads of families who had risen to the top.
“Did you come to see that lady-in-waiting?”
Seeing the fatigue on Federik’s face, it seemed that he was examining the condition of the handmaid who had put the Hell Worm on Encia from last night until now.
“Your brainwashing is stronger than I thought. I’ve been walking steadily for a long time, so it’s natural.”
That’s what it says. Like her former self, the maid must have had fear and brainwashing implanted in her head since her childhood.
“Don’t worry though. I called a quick guy on this side, so even if it takes a little longer, I’ll be able to figure out how to treat it.”
“I will believe you.”
Raon nodded. If you don’t trust Federik in this matter, who will you trust? Trust and wait is the only answer.
“Are you really not going with me? The brainwashing treatment may be a little late… .”
“Brainwashing is also brainwashing, but you must be busy with the homework you gave, and the patients that Temus gave up while treating.”
He shrugged, saying he had a lot to do.
“Then I can’t help it.”
Raon straightened up and lowered his head.
“Thank you so far.”
“I have to say thank you, you bastard!”
Federick sighed and slapped Raon on the shoulder.
“If you say thank you for saving my life, then I have nothing to say! Are you even going to show off?”
“Could it be?”
Raon shook his head and smiled lightly.
“From childhood to now, I just want to thank you.”
“I am.”
As if he didn’t hate the sincere greeting, Federick’s lips went up softly.
“Then take care of yourself.”
“Oh, wait!”
When Raon nodded again and tried to go back, Fedrick grabbed his shoulder.
“If you want to know his true heart. Shown before… .”
He told me one way to find out Glenn’s true feelings and went back to the mansion.
– It doesn’t seem to work at all.
‘My thoughts are the same.’
Raon furrowed his eyebrows as he watched Federik return.
* * *
After a long mission from the Yonan family to the city of Letran and then to the Yonan family, Raon and the swordsmen arrived at the front gate of Sieghart.
The tall silver wall and the ice caps surrounding it made the swordsman’s pride burn whenever he saw it.
“The Cheongeomdae and the Gwangpungdan. I have returned after completing the duties of the head of household.”
Cheryl stepped up to the door and announced the return of duty.
“Meet the Heavenly Sword Lord!”
“You worked hard!”
The prosecutors guarding the door ordered the door to open, looking not at Cheryl in front, but at Raon standing in the back.
‘Did rumors spread here too?’
Raon licked his lips, feeling the gazes of the gatekeepers and swordsmen on the wall. Seeing that everyone was only looking at themselves, it seemed that the news of becoming a Master had spread here as well.
“I’m going to have a hard time because of the attention coming here and there.”
Econ stepped aside and smiled.
“You’d better be more careful with your manners now. Because more and more people will find fault with people upstairs.”
Having become friends during the mission, his advice radiated warmth.
“I will keep that in mind.”
Raon nodded as he saw the door open. Responsibility and attention follow with a high position. Whether it was interest, jealousy, or a challenge, he was ready to accept it all.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The huge door swings open, and as Glenn contemplates what to say as he watches the grandeur, a red-haired man bursts out from inside.
“Raon! Guys! Welcome back!”
It was Limer. He came running with his arms wide open as if to welcome everyone back.
“hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Rimer approaching.
‘Why did that person become a beggar again?’
