Chapter 226
Raon looked at Rimmer and frowned.
‘What the hell happened?’
Rimmer wore a tattered uniform, cracked leather boots, and his hair was scattered like seaweed stalks.
‘Before departure, he was definitely a rookie himself… .’
He was the only one in the battle between Geumjeomdan and Gwangpundan to bet on the succession of Gwangpundan and got a huge profit. I don’t know why the nobleman who was wearing a ring not only on his finger but also on his toe to show off his money became such a beggar.
‘It must have been a bit too much to gamble with?’
A law with limits on gambling hall multipliers. I couldn’t believe I wasted all that money. However, seeing that he couldn’t even keep his clothes on, it seemed that there was no reason other than gambling.
“Raon! You really have become a master!”
Rimer felt the momentum of Raon, who became more natural like water flowing, and smiled naturally.
“I was counting on you! I knew you could do it!”
“thank you. Sovereign Lord.”
Raon bowed his head to Rimer. It’s like a beggar, but he was just grateful that he was happy with it as if it were his own work.
“Among my students, the youngest master on the continent. That’s why an 18-year-old Master appears! Happiness is not the subject!”
Rimer smiled contentedly and turned around.
“You also suffered a lot. I heard that you saved a lot of people, but I was proud even from afar.”
After checking the condition of Gwangpungdan, he stuck to Raon’s side again and held his shoulder.
“Because I haven’t heard anything properly except that you killed the three demons of Eden. Let me explain while having a drink… .”
“go away!”
Cheryl kicked Rimmer in the back as he tried to take Raon away.
“Cheuk!”
Rimmer grabbed his waist and his chin trembled.
“Why why… .”
“I didn’t even look at it, what kind of alcohol is this! Don’t bother the guy who used to gamble here.”
Cheryl waved her hand as if to back off. She, too, was convinced that Lee Mer had lost her money on her gamble.
“Sweet Lord. Are you really gambling again?”
“I’m really pathetic.”
Burren sighed as he looked down at Limer, and Martha rolled her cold eyes.
Runan didn’t know the difference, or he didn’t care, he just stared at Rimmer blindly.
“Oh no! It really came through this time! I was able to try the ‘three medicines’, but at the end it was all sucked by a difference of one notch! If you really give me just one chance… .”
‘Three medicines?’
Raon tilted his head. I’ve heard it somewhere, but I can’t remember exactly.
“Calm down now. you idiot!”
Cheryl kicked Rimmer one more time and took the initiative to gesture. It was a gesture telling him not to worry about that guy and follow him.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
As Raon followed Sheryl, not only the Heavenly Swordsman, but also the Gwangpungdan swordsmen ignored Limer and entered the main gate.
“Hey, guys?”
No one looked back at Rimer, who eagerly reached out.
“Hey! Children! What have I done for you guys! You haven’t asked me to lend you money yet!”
Everyone shook their heads at the expected babble.
“That’s the gambler’s word.”
Dorian looked at Julius and told him not to imitate him.
“He’s strong, but for some reason I don’t want to admit it.”
Julius shook his head with a wavering look.
– That guy is messing around to the end. In a way, he’s a great guy.
Lars also clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic.
‘I know.’
Raon nodded and followed Cheryl down the central avenue. As if they had become victorious generals who came back after winning the war, all the swordsmen around them stopped and looked back at the party.
“Is it Master… .”
“It wasn’t bullshit. The momentum I feel is different from before.”
“A Master at 18, have you received God’s blessing?”
“It was not a blessing from God, it was a curse. Isn’t it the price of overcoming that, standing over there?”
“Well, it was a constitution that even the Holy Son could not treat properly.”
The swordsmen looked at Raon without hiding their surprised eyes and whispered.
“I heard that he cut down the Red Devil before becoming a Master, and after becoming a Master, he cut down the Red Wing Devil and the Black Wing Devil.”
“I heard that all three of them are exhausted from fighting the saint.”
“I know that too. You said it was hard to write strong prayers because you were tired.”
“So, even if you are exhausted to the level of an expert, do you have the confidence to enter the forest full of masters without hesitation? I came back after slashing the master set, but such babbling only reveals my ugliness.”
“They said that both the Red Wings and the Black Wings attacked at the same time. If it’s the passing technique for those two, there’s no point in being exhausted.”
“In the end, we even achieved a draw with the evil spirit, so it’s as if our skills have been recognized.”
Raon narrowed his eyes. different from usual In the middle, I heard the voice of a person who refuted the words that showed jealousy or jealousy. There were also prosecutors who quarreled with each other as if arguing.
‘Has it changed a little?’
Previously, no one stepped forward even if they disparaged their achievements, were jealous or cursed at them. After becoming a master and making great achievements, it seemed that the thoughts of the family members had changed slightly.
“Lord Raon’s Vice-Admiral.”
“Congratulations on reaching Master.”
“I heard that you survived a grueling battle to the end. I am very impressed.”
“I am Jekal of the spearhead. Can I ask for sparring later?”
Not just people watching, there were a lot of people coming up and talking to me. There was a good feeling in the excited eyes.
“thank you.”
Raon nodded his head with an awkward look. He was a little awkward and stuck next to Cheryl, who no one approached.
“It seems burdensome to approach without hesitation.”
“Not quite like that… .”
“Because you have power.”
Cheryl tapped her sword sheath and smiled.
“Indifference becomes interest, and turning interest into liking is power. and… .”
She smiled at the prosecutors who gave off cold eyes.
“It is also power to turn envy and envy into malice. There will be more troublesome things in the future.”
“I am prepared.”
Raon nodded. To be honest, he is more used to ugliness than human kindness. This much was acceptable.
“There is one more.”
Cheryl looked back and glanced coldly at the people she had just been sarcastic with.
“F*ck!”
“omg!”
“Hey!”
They were frightened just by meeting her eyes and fell back.
“If you have absolute power, not halfway power, you can crush even the malice of others. Don’t settle for where you are right now, go further and higher.”
She patted him on the shoulder and smiled kindly.
-That bastard is right.
‘Shit?’
-Are you not good at cooking?
Lars frowned.
‘Ah, that’s right.’
-Anyway, as the dungson said, if you have great power, no one can attack you. Even when the main king was in the demon realm, numerous demons joined forces and attacked, but after the cold wave froze them all at once, no one attacked. Ah, the cold wave is one of the master’s skills… .
Lars started bragging about the Demon World after a long time. When I was listening in one ear and letting it out in the other, the guy turned his head.
-… So hand over your body to the main king. I will become the absolute ruler of this continent and make it impossible for anyone to surpass it!
‘As expected, the conclusion goes like that.’
I laughed and pushed Lars, who was trying to run away. As she listened to the long demonic chatter, she found herself in front of the main building before she knew it.
“Whoa… .”
Raon exhaled calmly as he looked at Gajujeon, which stood tall in the center of the main building.
‘Wherever you go, it’s a war.’
I had to take care of what I received, but it was an opportunity to find out Glenn’s true intentions.
* * *
Raon knelt in the center of the audience room and turned his gaze to the sides. Glenn called, and all the remaining lords and sophomores of the armed forces were gathered in the family.
“crazy… .”
“I-I really was.”
“Master at 18… .”
“Of course I thought it was bullshit.”
The eyes of the lords who felt Raon’s impotence shook violently like wind-swept reeds.
“Mmm.”
“Keep it!”
Karune and Balder bit their lips to pretend to be cool, but they couldn’t hide the trembling of their lips.
But one person was different.
Sitting on the golden throne above the podium, Glenn’s expression was still blank, cold and bored.
Raon looked up at Glenn and furrowed his eyebrows.
‘Is that person really giving me the elixir?’
Looking at those emotionless eyes, it made me wonder if Federick was lying.
“Raon Sieghart.”
“yes.”
At Glenn’s call, Raon knelt down and bowed his head.
“I heard that you were at the center of this mission. Tell me what happened.”
“All right.”
Raon closed his eyes, then opened them and stood up.
“When we arrived at the Yonan family and finished preparing to move, Temus came to us… .”
There are many ears to listen to, so if you exaggerate, there is a possibility that you will see it rather badly. He recited the facts without lies about the events that occurred during his mission.
“… That’s how I finished Ensia-sama’s treatment and returned to the family.”
“There are no lies.”
When Cheryl nodded in agreement, the eyes of the large and moderate owners were wider than their mouths.
“Huh, since it’s Eden’s master set, I’m honestly not confident… .”
“It’s shocking that we managed to overcome the combined efforts of the Black Winged Devil and the Red Yellow Devil.”
“There is a real monster in the family.”
“The feeling of helplessness has already passed the initial stage. It’s no exaggeration to say it’s low class. How did you erase the stationary period?”
“In an amazing spirit, even the thrill is black. There is not much time left before you can make your name known throughout the continent.”
Admiring the military force, the great owners sent a look of compassion and pride.
“Finding Temus’ loopholes and preparing for an attack, his head isn’t usually extraordinary.”
“It’s different from muscular guys who move instinctively. There is also the calmness to move after clearly grasping the situation.”
“It’s not brute force, that mental world doesn’t look like an 18-year-old. I should have brought you this way.”
There were also prosecutors who admired his preparation, planning, and judgment.
“Damn it.”
“How could a guy like that come out… .”
“Shit.”
“The collateral guys are going to have a good seizure.”
There were also those who spat out curses inaudibly and shot bloody eyes.
“Good work everyone.”
Glenn looked at each of the returning prosecutors in turn and nodded.
He said he did a good job, but his expression was still cold. She was almost imperceptible, except for the twitching of the corners of her mouth, to the point where I thought she was paying a portrait.
“Many variables occurred during the mission, but I will acknowledge your achievements in completing the goal to the end without getting lost, and I will reward you appropriately.”
When he announced that he would hand down the award with his own praise, the eyes of his immediate family members became ferocious. Of course, no one came forward to rebel against Glenn.
‘A look like that is cute.’
Raon accepted their gaze with ease and smiled. It’s not even possible to check that kind of eyes anymore.
“then.”
Cheryl glanced back and fell to the side.
“Lord of the Heavenly Sword?”
“This mission has been my job from the beginning. I just did my job, I can’t get a prize.”
‘It’s your turn,’ she muttered, pointing forward.
“Then me too.”
Ecken also moved to the left following Cheryl.
“Raon Sieghart. Come upstairs.”
“yes.”
I followed Glenn’s majestic voice and went up to the podium. The more you step on the stairs, the bigger the Glen looks. He, who was only a rock, became a great mountain and stood at the edge of the sky.
‘I still can’t see… .’
Even after becoming a master, he couldn’t even fathom the size of Glenn’s power. His powers seemed literally beyond the sky.
“The ability to predict and move the enemy’s movements. The courage to fight without backing down in the face of a strong enemy. From the overwhelming performance created by exquisitely harmonizing the two to the fact that he became a master at the age of 18 and made his family’s reputation resonate. All great.”
At the praise that came out of Glenn’s mouth, the eyes of the immediate family became ferocious like a beast that revealed its teeth.
“I will give Raon Sieghart, the sub-master of the Gwangpungdan, the golden plaque and the right to enter the savings account.”
As soon as Raon heard the word savings account, his eyes widened.
‘A savings report?’
The Savings Treasury is the treasure house of the head of the household where Sieghart’s wealth is piled up. The library that he sometimes opens was also a savings account. He got a chance to enter such a place, and he unknowingly tightened his fists.
“My lord.”
Balder Sieghard, who was directly below the podium, raised his hand.
“I admit that the performance of Gwangpung Incessant Stock is great, but I think the reporting of installment savings is excessive. No one has received a golden plaque in the past ten years, so even one tile will be a sufficient reward.”
“Um, I also think that access to installment savings accounts is an overflowing reward compared to performance.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to choose one or the other…?” .”
Direct and collateral lords agreed with Balder’s words as if they were shaping public opinion.
“If it’s that performance, it’s right to report the installment savings account and give the access right.”
“I know. He cut down three demons of Eden!”
“You became the youngest master on the continent and made the continent cry in the name of Sieghart.”
There were also lords and sophomores who advocated, but their voices were not so loud because they were pushed out of numbers.
“Whoops.”
Seeing the smile on Karon’s lips, it seemed that what the immediate family wanted was a messy situation with conflicting opinions.
“… … .”
Glenn didn’t move, his chin resting, whether he was thinking or not interested. It was a plain look, as if you were persuading yourself.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
He clicked his tongue briefly. Of course, I knew that my immediate family would come out like this. From their point of view, they would want to block the reward from coming this way even if Glenn was souled.
So, one of the biggest achievements was deliberately unspoken.
“Oh, there’s something I didn’t tell you.”
Raon turned around and raised a finger.
“Is it an artifact from the Yonan family?”
“Let’s just say it’s one artifact… .”
“First-run.”
At the word “preemptive monopoly,” the eyes of large shareholders jumped like a sailboat hit by waves.
“We have obtained the exclusive right to purchase the unique artifact produced by the Yonan family first.”
“Huh!”
“Huh?”
“Crazy, a first-mover?”
“I-really?”
Danju, who supported him, as well as his direct relatives who opposed him, all turned white in astonishment.
“yes. Soon, a delegation for a deal will come from the Yonan family. Check it out then.”
Raon raised his chin and looked down at his direct descendants. The clear crimson eyes suppressed the jealous gazes.
“Does anyone still think this is an excessive reward for me?”
“Okay… .”
“Ugh!”
“shit… .”
Of course, no one raised a hand or stepped out.
“Puhahahaha! Oh, flirt!”
Rimer’s laugh, who was standing at the end, pierced the heavy air and reached the ceiling.
“then.”
Raon turned around and looked at Glenn. His expression, as if he had known in advance, was still unchanged. It was a change if it was just that the mouth squirmed a little more.
‘I’m a little pissed off.’
I really wanted to destroy that iron mask-like face.
‘It can’t be helped.’
It’s a bit embarrassing, but I decided to try the secret weapon I heard from Federik.
“Raon Sieghart, come forward.”
“yes!”
He nodded and walked towards the throne.
“For you who successfully completed your mission, a golden plaque and a one-time pass to the savings account… Ugh!”
Raon smiled as brightly as he had shown to Federick the moment Glenn took a step forward to hand over the golden plaque.
