Chapter 389
Lake Bichorn, located between the Sieghart and Aryan families.
Although not as large as Forban, it was a tourist destination known for its elegant silver lake.
Gwangpungdan went into a restaurant built at the end of Lake Bichorn to have lunch.
“and… .”
Burren exclaimed as he watched Lake Bichorn glisten in the sunlight.
“I heard it was nice, but I didn’t expect it to be such a beautiful lake.”
He smiled softly, unable to take his eyes off the lake.
“If a lake is beautiful, it is a lake.”
Marta looked bored from the lake and handed the menu to Burren.
“Everyone, order something to eat and watch!”
She shouted to the clerk not to avoid it and to order quickly.
“hmm… .”
Runan looked at the lake and opened his mouth blankly.
“I think it would be nice to sleep there.”
She stomped her feet, saying she wanted to lie down in the middle of the lake where the warm sunlight poured in. Even just thinking about it, she began to wink her eyes to see if she could fall asleep.
“Even if it looks warm, it will be cold when you go in.”
Crane said it was still cold and shook his head.
“Well, we’ll train so we won’t fall easily.”
He gave a confident chin gesture and a smirk.
“hmm?”
Raon stopped looking at the menu and looked up at the crane.
-What are you doing! Ordering a meal is a sacred business! Just like the beef girl said, focus on your order!
The guy looked at the menu board with a reverent attitude, as if praying to God.
-I want to eat whole pork jelly and cucumber and pepper lamb ribs!
‘I’m a bit uneasy about the names, but pork jelly grilled cucumber and pepper lamb ribs… .’
– Originally, food is a new challenge. The main king will expand your eyesight, so hurry up and start with the spell!
‘Ehh… .’
I thought I would keep whining if I didn’t order it, so I ordered the food Lars said.
When the three clerks returned after receiving all of Gwangpungdan’s orders, they waved to Crane.
“crane.”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you say you don’t fall easily into water?”
“yes? Ha, I did… .”
Crane’s lips trembled and nodded, as if feeling ominous.
“Your confidence is good.”
Raon stood up with an excited smile. She went up to Crane and grabbed his shoulder.
“Boo, Vice Lord?”
Crane raised her gaze and bit her nails.
“Because they said it took quite a while for the food to come out. Shall we practice for a while?”
“yes?”
“If you stay on the lake for 30 seconds, I won’t train until you get to Aryan’s house.”
“Huh!”
“Are you not training?”
“Are you sure?”
As they continued to train all the way to this lake, not only the cranes, but the entire Gwangpungdan opened their eyes.
“Instead, if you can’t hold on, we’ll all train at that lake until tonight.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
“30 seconds… .”
“Enough with that!”
“It’s worth it!”
Gwangpungdan said that it was simple for about 30 seconds and shot intense eyes at Crane.
“Ouch… .”
Crane was intimidated by Gwangpungdan’s mad gaze and his shoulders trembled.
– These stupid things!
Lars jerked his head and yelled at the madman.
-This guy is a serpent tied up for 100 years! Don’t be fooled! It is clear that he has other ulterior motives!
I pushed Lars, who shouted that it was a lie, and looked down at the crane.
“Are you going to do it?”
“I’ll do it. Get ready… .”
“There is no need to prepare.”
Raon gave a cool smile and put his hand on Crane’s shoulder.
“Now, wait a minute… .”
“Don’t expect it.”
He lifted the crane and threw it out the window. Because he used strength beyond human boundaries, he flew like a ball and landed in the middle of the lake.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Crane screamed, but like an unmanned man, he balanced in the air and fell on his feet into the lake.
Cheer up!
However, as Raon’s ignorant power submerged her lower body, she was unable to use the floating steps she had learned so far and immediately sank.
“Keew!”
Crane screamed, waving his hands.
“Chu, cold! I’m afraid I’ll freeze!”
“Okay, fail.”
Leon turned around. He looked down at the Gwangpungdan with a smile colder than the lake.
“Hey, I didn’t say toss it for a second!”
“If you suddenly throw it with your ignorant power, no one will be able to withstand it!”
“Raon chisa bread.”
Burren, Martha, and Runan all frowned, saying it was unreasonable.
“Are you going to say it’s lethal in real life?”
“Ugh… .”
“that… .”
“… … .”
When the word “actual war” came out, all three captains shut their mouths.
“And I never said I wouldn’t throw.”
As Raon said that, he grabbed Dorian by the neck, who was sitting next to the crane.
“Eek? I-I’m still ready… .”
“If you do one, two, three, you throw it.”
“Huh… .”
“three.”
When Dorian caught his breath, he only shouted three and threw it out the window.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
Dorian screamed and managed to turn over and fall into the lake. However, unlike Crane, he was only stuck in the water up to his ankles, saying he was an expert.
“Aww! Ugh, I’m freezing to death!”
“Although you guys have gotten used to the water, it’s still hard to withstand when an external force acts on you.”
Raon heard Dorian’s screams and clapped his hands.
“In other words, it means that the training is not enough. Take care of yourself and start training before I throw it.”
“Please throw me too!”
Mark Goetton ran to ask for a throw like Crane or Dorian himself.
‘This is why I like it.’
Since he said he would follow him, he hadn’t had a single one of his training was wasted. He deserved to rise higher.
“great.”
Raon nodded and threw Mark Gotten with all his might. Even though he possessed tremendous power, he controlled his body in the air like a master and fell into the lake with his feet.
Aaaaaang!
A lot of water splashed as if the water surface exploded, but unlike the crane or Dorian, it landed safely on the water.
“Go, let’s go!”
“Aaaaaagh!”
“Damn the madman… .”
“Shit!”
Gwangpungdan swordsmen jumped into the lake screaming as if they didn’t want to be thrown like Mark Goeton.
“Let’s go too!”
“Okay… .”
Yua and Julius also climbed out the window and jumped into the lake.
Gwangpungdan, who were sitting at ten tables, all jumped into the lake, leaving Raon as the only one left.
The people in the restaurant opened their eyes to see the gangsters jumping into the lake and starting to walk or run.
“I-what is that doing?”
“Isn’t it crazy to go into the lake in this weather?”
“Who the hell did such a crazy thing… .”
“Crazy is right.”
When people were embarrassed, the middle-aged man who seemed to be the owner of the restaurant smiled and nodded.
“They are Sieghart’s madmen.”
“A mad dog?”
“Did Sieghart have such a dagger?”
“ah! that’s right! I said that madmen are called mad dogs!”
“Right.”
The owner looked at Raon’s back and nodded.
“Because of the venomous madness and crazy training they showed during the dueling battles that took place in Owen’s kingdom, people call them mad dogs, not mad winds.”
“It goes well with whoever decided it… .”
“I know. Mad dog is the right word.”
People nodded their heads in agreement.
“Someone is a mad dog!”
Martha screamed as she glared at the dining room, as if she had heard what the people were saying.
“So, then, is that woman a demonic woman?”
“okay. It looks just right. My eyes are stained with madness… .”
“I am Nachal. From the name… .”
“It’s not a demon girl, it’s a demon sword!”
Marta stomped her feet as if they were coming after her, creating a huge wave.
-Hasn’t the rumor of a mad dog spread all the way here! stop bullying the kids
‘I can’t help it.’
Raon twisted his mouth as he watched Gwangpungdan trying to survive even in the cold water.
‘Because it’s something I have to do.’
It was the minimum safety device to keep my body safe even in dangerous situations because I did not know what would happen in the swamp of death.
‘In addition, the situation there is not very good.’
House Aryan has forgotten its former glory and is full of indolence.
I didn’t want to show them any weaknesses, so I wanted to perfect the technique of floating in the swamp.
Raon turned around and waved his hand at the clerk, who was not sure what to do.
“Sorry, could you bring the food in an hour?”
“Ah, yes!”
The clerk nodded quickly and went into the kitchen.
-Ha, an hour later?
Lars ran his chin trembling.
-Stop harassing the king!
* * *
Thanks to constant training, Gwangpungdan was able to learn how to float on the water before reaching the Aryan family.
It’s impossible to stay still, but if you step on the steps, you’ll be able to hold out for quite a long time without sinking.
Raon frowned as he watched the road rise into the muddy swamp even though he hadn’t even reached the Aryan family yet.
‘As expected, this side also came up.’
Since I heard that the water level in the swamp of death has risen, I thought that the other places had risen as well, and it was as expected.
“What, what! There is no way!”
Burren gaped as he looked at the roadless, swamp-filled area.
“I haven’t heard of a swamp from here, have you?”
Martha narrowed her eyes as if embarrassed.
“Do you want to be soft?”
Runaan tilted his head, wondering if he was thinking of the swamp as a bed.
“Are you saying we have to walk through this swamp from now on?”
“yes. Because the road is gone.”
“huh.”
The three of them had already adapted to walking on water, so they stepped on the swamp with a calm complexion.
“It’s easy here.”
“I know.”
“Because I practiced in the water. It’s as simple as a swamp.”
Great, training is worthwhile. The chest becomes grand.”
The members of the Gwangpungdan followed Beren, Martha, and Runan and stepped on the swamp. They smiled admiring their appearance floating on the swamp without difficulty.
“I am still having a hard time.”
“Okay… .”
Yua and Julius barely manage to stand on top of the swamp with the help of Mark Goeten.
Raon went forward and turned around. He made eye contact with Gwangpungdan and rolled up her lips.
“Do you know who it is that you are able to stand in the swamp? I told you everything would help.”
At those words, bright yellow madness burned in Gwangpungdan’s eyes.
“Keuuugh!”
“I really went through high school… .”
“Get pissed off. Having nothing to say makes me even more pissed off!”
“That nasty child… .”
Gwangpungdan bit his lip at the memory of Raon’s countless times, but swallowed his anger in the fact that his words were not wrong.
“let’s go.”
Raon smiled and gestured toward the west.
“The Aryan family will come to meet you, but there is no need to wait.”
Following his gesture, the Gwangpungdan started moving toward the Aryan family.
Contrary to his fever for Raon, Gwangpungdan’s steps on the swamp were as smooth as walking on flat ground.

The family lord of the Aryan family.
A swordsman in a yellow uniform walked into a red room that was more splendid than Sieghart’s and knelt down.
“My lord. It is said that the support party from Sieghart has entered the family domain.”
The prosecutor looked at the podium and his sharp eyes shone.
“Please allow me to send the rangers to greet them.”
“… … .”
No answer came from the podium, only cold eyes were cast.
“Since you called them, why don’t you do as you please?”
“My lord… .”
“It was common for the swamp water level to rise and the number of monsters to increase! Why bother calling Sieghart!”
A voice filled with anger erupted from the podium.
“It’s fortunate if it’s not a big deal, but if something unsavory happens, it will cause great damage to the people. We just wanted to prevent problems in the first place.”
“I am the one who knows this family and swamp best! It’s enough for you to swing your sword outside, but it’s my job to hit them! Do you know how easy it is to fart at young people!”
“… sorry.”
“Tsk.”
A man on the podium clicked his tongue and shook his hand.
“I didn’t start it, but I will see the end. Take the Ranger and the wagon and go and greet the Sieghart swordsmen.”
“thank you.”
The prosecutor bowed his head. As I got up and left the audience room, I heard small voices from behind.
“I really don’t know why you’re doing such a bothersome thing.”
“Iknow, right. The censorship alone is annoying… .”
“How much do you know about this swamp?”
“Wendy has always liked doing things.”
The prosecutor bit his lip as if he hadn’t heard, and started the match. When I went outside, two rangers were waiting for me.
“Frica.”
“yes.”
At her call, the red-haired Ranger bowed his head.
“Please. Bring it carefully.”
“Do not worry.”
The ranger called Prika smiled lightly and nodded.
“Wallis, don’t play around.”
“How can I play a joke on Sieghart? I don’t know how many people will fall into nature’s new ceremony… .”
The black-haired ranger called Wellis grinned.
“Don’t do that.”
“If I don’t touch it, it will fall off on its own, right?”
“Frica. I will trust you.”
“Do not worry.”
Frica lowered her head and headed for the eastern gate with Wellis and the Rangers.
Behind them was a horse with webbed feet.
“let’s go!”
The rangers left House Aryan after loading a large load into a horse-drawn carriage.
“Whoa… .”
The female prosecutor let out a short sigh as she saw the departing ranger.
When Wellis goes out with that expression, a few people come here covered in mud.
Looking at their faces, it seemed that they were planning to play a prank again this time.
‘It should be done in moderation.’
* * *
Fricca frowned as she looked at the swamp that filled the floor.
“The water level in the swamp has risen here as well.”
“Can’t you come or go?”
Wellis nodded and gestured back. The speed of the rangers who were chasing horses increased.
“Who do you think will come?”
Frica looked to the side as she cleared the bushes that hung down to her forehead.
“well. Sieghart won’t consider us very important, so one of the Dans will come.”
Although Aryan was a vassal of Sieghart, they didn’t come and go often, and there wasn’t a big deal happening either, so it didn’t seem like a lot of people would come.
“Still, how much money do we send? Isn’t the most famous gwangpungdan coming?”
“Are you going to send those precious people to this side of nothing? I must have sent an appropriate group.”
“You never know. Well, whoever comes will have a hard time.”
Wellis scratched his cheek and smiled.
“That’s right.”
Fricca nodded.
‘Because this place is different from the center of the continent.’
House Aryan is filled with swamps on all sides. Now that it has risen to that level, even the rangers who have lived here for a long time find it difficult to move without swamp boots.
Literally, a new expression of nature. No matter how unmanned they were from Sieghart, it was next to impossible to move here now.
“Speed up a little more. Get out of the eastern swamp by the end of the day.”
“yes!”
Following Fricca’s instructions, Wellis and the Rangers ran to the eastern end without rest.
When the afternoon was over and evening came, a large number of figures appeared in front of them.
“stop!”
Wellis, who was running in the lead, raised his hand and stopped everyone.
“what?”
Fricca looked ahead and narrowed her eyes.
‘Was there a scouting party that went out besides us?’
No, it can’t be.
There are three scouting parties in the Aryan family. I had never heard of the other two leaving, so they couldn’t have been a scouting party.
“Not even merchants.”
Wellis shook his head, saying that no merchants would move in this situation.
“Be alert and wait.”
Fricca took a deep breath while holding the bow on her back.
At first, I thought it might be Sieghart’s swordsman, but it was clear that he knew this place well from the way he walked lightly through the swamp.
When the Rangers lowered their posture and were on alert, the fog cleared and the figures of the people were revealed.
The person in the front was a very handsome man with blonde hair and red eyes, but he didn’t feel any energy as if he wasn’t human.
Thinking it was a ghost, he looked down and saw the pattern of a flaming sword embedded in his chest.
‘Sieghart?’
Then that person… .
came to mind right away. One of the most famous young warriors on the continent right now, Raon Sieghart, the white sword dragon, and Gwangpungdan were definitely there.
‘Yeah, but why… .’
It’s Raon Sieghart, since it’s Master’s level, there’s no problem walking here, but the other swordsmen behind him were walking through the swamp as naturally as on the plain.
The two young children looked a bit daunted, but everyone in the gwangpyeongdan walked the swamp more peacefully than they did in their special boots.
“uh… .”
“What, what?”
“Walking through the swamp so easily?”
“What is this… .”
Wellis and the Rangers were also surprised and their mouths opened wide.
“her!”
Fricca lowered the hand holding the bow and swallowed dry saliva.
‘What are these people doing… .’
