Chapter 386
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he watched the young hedgehog waving his hand.
‘Hedgehog is an animal that hibernates… .’
Sieghart has four seasons in winter, but now is the coldest time among them.
If it’s a wild hedgehog, it doesn’t make sense to wave your hand with a smile because it’s sleeping in the ground with a full stomach.
-What are you thinking so deep!
Lars’ jaw trembled as he watched the porcupine grin.
– Isn’t it obvious! That madwoman!
The guy muttered that he was scared and went into the ice flower bracelet faster than ever.
‘I know… .’
Of course I knew who was inside that hedgehog, but I was just hoping that it might be a real hedgehog.
“after… .”
Raon let out a deep sigh and met the hedgehog’s eyes.
“Merlin?”
“huh!”
The hedgehog smiled and nodded. there was no such thing as
“How the hell did you get here?”
“I enjoyed the match yesterday.”
Again, Merlin. She didn’t answer the question, she just said what she wanted to say.
“It was really cool to see you overcome difficulties with your colleagues without panicking even when the situation turns upside down!”
Merlin gave a thumbs up. It was amazing to be that stance with her hedgehog.
“You saw it all?”
Raon opened his mouth.
‘The head of the house was there too?’
Glenn was at the training ground in the city where the battle was fought yesterday. She didn’t know when she would be caught and killed, but she laughed at the guts to watch it through to the end.
“I’ll have to change my life span to see you fighting while giving orders.”
Merlin twisted his body and laughed.
-That, she is truly a madwoman… .
‘crazy… .’
Other people may not know, but to Merlin, that was no joke. Cold sweat ran down the back.
“It’s okay.”
Merlin came down from the tree and crept up. It was slow to use her hedgehog’s body as it is, but it was close enough that it reached her feet.
“I have something to tell you. listen to me.”
“It has thorns.”
“It’s okay if you don’t put up a thorn. Oh, please don’t touch my side. It’s embarrassing.”
She blushed, saying that she was ashamed to get the meat on her side.
“under… .”
driving me crazy.
I don’t know what’s embarrassing about the subject who appeared in the form of a hedgehog.
However, it seemed clear that he had brought important information, so he couldn’t refuse.
Raon sighed deeply and lifted Merlin. Her guernsey spines, which she controls, curled slightly inward.
“Look. Aren’t you sick?”
Merlin waved a small hand to look at it. She was so cute that I would want to hug her if it wasn’t for the madness.
“What are you talking about?”
“I caught you in the Black Tower.”
Contrary to her cute appearance, she had a cool voice.
“capture?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Merlin.
“They must already know that I killed the black water chief, right?”
“I just knew that. From now on, I have chosen you as a target to be eliminated.”
A blue light seeped into Merlin’s dark eyes.
“The Black Tower is stealthy but persistent. Even if you’re on a lower floor, you’ve defeated one of the Black Tower’s floor pillars, so I’m sure I’ll send someone stronger after studying you.”
“I guess so.”
Raon nodded.
‘Because they’re terrible.’
Like those who use the energy of darkness, the Black Tower does not choose between fire and water. It was clear that he would come for revenge by any means.
“But how did you know that?”
The non-banquet and the black market were also investigating the Black Tower, but I didn’t expect to hear the information from Merlin first.
“I was infiltrated.”
Merlin scratched his round nose and laughed.
‘infiltration?’
Did you say infiltrate?
I couldn’t believe that Eden’s executive had infiltrated the Black Tower.
“Could it be because of me?”
“of course.”
“Why did you go to sleep… .”
“Because I’m worried about you.”
Merlin tilted his head, as if asking why he was asking something obvious.
‘ah… .’
Every time I listened to her, my mouth went dry. She was appreciative but also terrified.
– Heo-eok… .
Lars let out a moan inside the bracelet as if he was dumbfounded.
“Eden seems to be preparing something too, but I’m not sure.”
Merlin frowned, saying that Tacheon has been wandering around alone lately.
“You don’t know either?”
“Perhaps he is a little suspicious of me, Tacheon is taking care of the work himself and only giving out minor missions.”
“doubt?”
“Because you were my target. It seems to think that the line might be touching. Because he’s smart too.”
She said she hadn’t been caught yet and not to worry too much.
“First of all, I have to clear my doubts, so I think I will have to move carefully from now on.”
Merlin waved a small hand.
“If I get important information from the Black Tower or Eden, I’ll come back. Until then, take care of yourself.”
She waved her small hand, saying it was time to go.
“Thank you for letting me know… .”
“Give this child twenty earthworms. Because that was a promise.”
Merlin winked with a porcupine eye and disappeared.
“Wait a minute! How do you get earthworms here right now!”
Queek?
The hedgehog that was held in the palm of my hand looked at me while standing on all fours. The way he narrowed his eyes seemed to mean that he wanted to quickly serve the food.
“ah… .”
Raon’s lips trembled as he held the hedgehog in his hand.
“Where can I find earthworms now… .”
Since he had never imagined meeting Merlin inside Sieghart, his subspace pocket was also empty.
Key profit!
The hedgehog raised its thorns while raising its cry as if to quickly release it.
-What are you doing! If you make a promise, keep it! Dig the ground quickly!
‘I didn’t promise… .’
Raon sighed and used the senses of the narrative to search for insects and earthworms around him. He honestly barely felt anything.
“S, not 20, but only 10. .”
What a profit!
“i get it. okay.”
I shook my head and started digging with my bare hands where I could feel the very slight energy.
-The king is afraid of that crazy woman… .
Lars came over and giggled.
-It’s unbearably fun to see you flustered!
‘It’s noisy, and you quickly find earthworms. Before eating the bugs.’
-Keuk… .
* * *
Raon was able to escape from the hedgehog only after he managed to find 20 earthworms and dig a hole for them to sleep in.
With a satisfied face, the boy blew a stick and fell into hibernation.
‘I’m exhausted.’
-I’m hungry… .
Lars, who found the worm together, drooped over his forearm.
– Let’s eat first as soon as we go home.
‘Wake up.’
– Eat and wake up.
‘What does that mean… .’
– It means let’s eat first!
‘Everyone is sleeping.’
As I was about to climb over the window of the room to avoid waking the others, the door to the annex opened.
“Raon. come here.”
Sylvia came out of the door and waved her hand.
“mother?”
Raon opened his eyes wide and approached Sylvia.
“Didn’t you sleep?”
“I get less sleep in the morning when I get older.”
Sylvia laughed, saying that she woke up a moment ago.
“Still, sleep a little longer… .”
“Once I open my eyes, I can’t sleep well. however… .”
She wiped her eyes as she held her dust-covered hand.
“Why do you keep talking respectfully?”
“You’re over 20 now.”
Now that the terms and conditions have been exceeded, I thought it was time to use honorifics.
“it’s okay.”
Sylvia looked at Raon and shook her head.
“Because I still don’t like you becoming an adult.”
She laughed, saying that she was still at the age to be fooled.
“It’s been a while since that age.”
“Because you haven’t had aegyo since you were little.”
“hmm… .”
There was nothing to argue against that. Since I had the spirit of an adult from a baby, it was absolutely impossible to act cute and childish.
“It’s still a baby to me.”
Sylvia caressed both cheeks.
“Outside, they thought of me as a hero or a sword dragon, but as a standing soldier. There are many people who come to me to look good for you.”
“is that so.”
Raon smiled lightly. She seemed to be doing well with her subordinate work in order to raise Sylvia as her direct descendant.
“But I’m rejecting them all, and I don’t care.”
Sylvia met her eyes and smiled.
“Don’t worry about putting your mother on the direct line, focus on what you want to do. I didn’t tell you, but you really have work to do.”
“How can I… .”
Raon widened his eyes. She was surprised because she had never told Sylvia what she was after.
“I am your mother.”
“ah… .”
“Because Judyel is on duty today. Let’s make a sandwich together. Wash up and come.”
Sylvia waved her hand and headed for the kitchen.
“excuse me… .”
-Mom is the best!
“… .”
* * *
When Raon took a bath and opened the door, Judiel bowed her head.
“Are you here?”
She pointed to the sandwiches and milk on the table and said to have them.
-The sandwiches he makes are quite good.
Just as Lars said, the sandwich Judyel made was savory and clean, so it tasted good.
“I will eat well.”
When Raon sat down at the table and took a bite of a sandwich, Judyel came over to her.
“While the young master was away for training, information about Oma arrived from the black market. Would you like to see for yourself? Or should I tell you?”
“You tell me.”
It was much easier to listen to her because Judiel has an unsurpassed talent for information management.
“Once, Ouma’s movements are said to have drastically decreased. The only ones that were active were the North and South Alliance and the Black Tower, but they said they didn’t show much movement either.”
“It must be because of the Six Emperors meeting.”
“yes. It seems that he hid himself for a while, knowing that the six emperors’ alliance was still strong and that the family head’s might was intact.”
Judyel nodded and closed her eyes.
“But you must not be careless. It’s not just running away, it’s clear that it’s building up its strength.”
“I guess so.”
Raon licked his lips. Ohma are lunatics who cannot stay still for long periods of time. It was clear that he was hiding with another ulterior motive.
“The reason the Black Tower moved was to seek information, and that information… .”
“It will be me.”
Raon smiled at Judiel.
“Did you know?”
“It’s obvious.”
Thanks to Merlin, it was clear what the Black Tower guys were thinking.
“What about your brother?”
“Not yet.”
“If you feel regretful, you can show regret.”
“it’s okay.”
Judiel calmly shook her head as if she had no emotion.
“When you did a puppet show before, you acted well. ‘Quaaaaaagh!’ and a realistic scream… .”
“Do, young boy!”
Her face turned red for the first time. It seemed as embarrassing as that.
“Hey, I’m going to go. And thank you for caring.”
Judyel left the room with her ear lobe dyed red.
-Huh.
Lars looked at the door Judiel had left and started writing on his round bread fist.
– Always pretend to take care of your subordinates… .
‘I’m not pretending to take care of you.’
-Anyway, this isn’t that difficult. Because there is no demon king in the demon realm who thinks of his subordinates as much as the main king.
‘Can I not write it down?’
-As I said yesterday, since you’re stealing the power of the original king, shouldn’t the original king take something too!
As he frowned, saying that nothing is free, a message came up.
[You have won against an enemy of a higher level.]
[All stats increase by 8 points.]
[Achievement of regular swordsmanship and swordsmanship increases.]
It was a message that his stats and achievements of swordsmanship and swordsmanship had risen while winning against Trevin.
‘also.’
After sparring, it became more comfortable to use the techniques of the regular sword and the ceremonial sword, but it seems that it was not because of my mood.
-Hey, why give this again!
Lars dropped the round hand he was writing on.
‘You said Where in the world is free?’
Raon shrugged his shoulders as he saw Lars trembling.
‘Today’s lecture fee.’
– Shut up! The lecture fee has been fully paid for the rest of my life! This is a scam!
‘Then do you report it? Although there’s no time to do it.’
– You damn bastard! I can’t stand it today!
Lars exploded after a long time, and his strength and agility increased that day.
* * *
“Huh… .”
Julius looked up at the cliffs of Bukmang Mountain and let out a fuss.
“Would you like to go up there?”
Aren’t you crazy?
Climbing a sheer cliff that seemed to make me fall down at the slightest wrong move, I just thought I was crazy.
“Come up!”
Raon’s cry came from the top of the cliff.
“Today really kills that.”
“Raon’s personality is not good… .”
“let’s go!”
Gwangpungdan’s leaders, Marta, Runan, and Burren, took the lead in climbing the cliff, and the other Gwangpungdan swordsmen followed suit.
Gwangpungdan climbed the cliff at tremendous speed even with metal balls called black rings on their wrists and ankles.
It’s a little hard to say this to seniors, but he was agile like a c*ckroach.
‘How can I go so fast with that?’
The black ring is heavy, but it also has the effect of blocking auras. I couldn’t believe that I was climbing the cliff so fast with my bare body.
“Let’s go too!”
Yua, who became a probationary prosecutor of Gwangpungdan together, clenched her fists.
‘This fearless little boy… .’
Yua’s face was red because she wanted to climb up the cliff quickly, as if she wasn’t afraid of it.
“Aren’t you scared?”
“You trained for three months for this.”
“Not for this.”
Julius shook his head. I did basic training for 3 months after Gwangpungdan and Cheoljeondae’s sparring, but I didn’t think it would be easy.
That will be too… .
“Quaaaaaagh!”
A crane climbing a cliff was hit by a boulder-like boulder and was falling down.
He quickly released the black ring and protected himself with an aura before falling to the ground.
Aaaaaaagh!
The crane crashed into the ground and the ground shook as if it were about to collapse.
“Ouch… .”
He barely opened his mouth, his eyes quivering.
“Raon, you son of a bitch. Why do I always… Whoops!”
As Crane muttered Raon’s swear words, a stone that flew from somewhere hit him on the forehead.
“It’s gonna be fun!”
“Ugh… .”
The infant was amused, and Crane’s face turned pale.
“do not worry.”
Dogoe approached the two children and shook his head.
“Because you guys will accept it even if you fall away.”
He said there was no need to accept the others because he was used to them now. As soon as he finished his words, members of the Gwangpungdan started to fall from the cliff like rain.
“Quaaaaagh!
“Damn it!”
“Why is that madman getting more and more secret magic!”
The members of the Gwangpungdan threw curses at Raon or screamed and fell to the ground one after another.
“let’s go!”
Yua began to climb the cliff, confused about what was so enjoyable. Since she wasn’t wearing a black ring, she went up quickly.
“Ouch… .”
Julius gritted his teeth and followed the infant with his hand on the cliff.
‘I can’t lose to this guy.’
I don’t know anything else, but I can’t see that Bang-sil is monopolizing Raon-nim’s praise. I overcame my fear and climbed the cliff with all my might.
Raon smiled as he watched Yooa and Julius swaying and climbing the cliff.
‘you’re good.’
I thought it would be difficult to climb the cliff without an aura because I was still lacking in training, but both of them were climbing well.
‘Infants are joy, and Julius is an agi.’
The infant enjoyed the training itself, and Julius clenched his teeth and climbed the cliff because he did not want to lose to such an infant.
‘It’s good to have a rival.’
He chuckled and tossed the raincoat that was on his finger down. Bido, who went down without even making the slightest sound, aimed at Dorian’s forehead.
“Oh, no!”
Dorian sensed the danger and tried to duck to the right, but Vido whirled softly like a windblown blade of grass and slapped him in the side.
Wow!
My skin was just touching Bido, but there was a roar like a hammer hitting it.
“Kwaaaek!”
Dorian fell down in tears.
“You devil!”
He couldn’t bear to curse and disappeared, calling himself a devil.
-It’s not a devil, it’s a demon king candidate!
Lars shook his head, saying that he had already passed the demon stage.
‘I don’t say the demon king.’
He smiled and threw down the raincoat in his hand. Rain shot like a thunderbolt and struck Gwangpungdan on the shoulder.
‘I won’t be pushed by the sword anymore.’
The growth of Flawlessness was faster than that of Gwangfungdan. They also made a few additional festivals, so Gwangpungdan still has a long way to conquer this cliff.
‘Should I mix it with that too?’
Since he had mastered the Perfection Skill to some extent, it seemed like it would be okay to mix it with the Biryeongdo he had received from Derus before.
‘Catch me soon… .’
As Raon was recalling the Gugyeol of Biryong Island, a chuckle was heard from behind. Turning around, Loen was standing there with a benevolent smile.
‘You still look like a ghost.’
Like a murderer with the alias of the King of Salvation, killing a prey was far above himself.
“I see you, Lord Gwangpung Budan.”
Rowen politely bowed his head.
“Long time no see. Loen.”
Raon bowed his head deeper than that and greeted him face to face.
“The head of the household is looking for you.”
Rowen smiled softly and nodded his chin.
“The head of the family?”
“yes. It seems that the second test has been decided.”
