Chapter 472
‘… Crank?’
Raon slowly opened his eyes.
‘You said it was a joke, right?’
Words he thought he would never hear suddenly came out of Glenn’s mouth and he was dazed for a moment.
Raon cleared his throat and looked up at Glenn.
“Are you sure you asked if you could play the game now?”
“Yes.”
Glen shook the envelope in his hand with his usual dry eyes.
“Do you remember when the Comedy Festival said last year that the Xin Zhu Five Ling Festival was held?”
“yes.”
Before leaving Sieghart, the Comedian had said that a festival would be held to commemorate the founding of the New Lord of the Rings, and that he would invite him.
“This time, an official invitation came from Baekkyung.”
“ah… .”
The white whale-shaped letter Glenn was holding seemed to be the invitation.
“A high-ranking official from Sieghart was talking bullshit about wanting us to come and congratulate the establishment of the New Lord of the Rings.”
He tensed his fingers as if he was contemplating burning the invitation.
“hmm… .”
Raon frowned as he looked at the pattern of the white whale engraved in the center of the letter.
‘Comedy. Is it a start again?’
The filthiness of borrowing someone else’s reputation is still the same.
The reason the Comedian sent that invitation is simple.
If Sieghart goes, it is to use his fame to declare that he has been recognized by the Six Emperors, and if he does not go, it is to secretly spread rumors that the Six Emperors are afraid.
Even if Sieghart went or not, it was a situation where the Baekkyung and the Shinju Five Spirits would only benefit.
Although the direction is different, her ploy to make easy gains in a simple and simple way has not changed.
‘Now I can roughly predict the nature of the comedy.’
-It seems that even the king knows it.
Lars stepped aside and frowned.
– Literally a rat. I have no intention of hunting with my own power, I just pick up and eat what others have thrown away!
The guy also frowned as if he didn’t like the comedy.
‘yes. It’s just a rat with a big bowl.’
Even though he was humiliated by Sieghart, the comic agent acted directly to prevent the spread of bad rumors about the white whale.
I felt it even then, but she was a truly amazing woman in terms of mental strength. She was not an opponent to be ignored once defeated.
As Raon frowned at the thought of the comedy, Glenn lightly tapped the armrest of the throne.
“I was going to burn and ignore this invitation, but I thought of you.”
“If I think… .”
“Didn’t you just trample on the comedy festival with your gibberish?”
Glenn removed his hand from his chin and curled up his mouth. smile for the first time. She seems to have liked the jokes at the time.
“Can we go to the Xin Zhu Five Ling Festival and play the game like we did here?”
“hmm… .”
Raon lowered his gaze without answering right away.
‘Things are different from then.’
The reason he was able to ridicule the comedy festival to his heart’s content was because she came to Sieghart.
As the saying goes, even a mutt eats half of it at home, and this was Sieghart, and because it was in front of Glenn, he was able to win a comedy festival.
However, if you leave Sieghart and enter the sphere of influence of the white whale, it will be difficult to act as you like then.
‘I don’t think so.’
As I was about to open my mouth to say no, the confident face of the Comedian flashed in my mind.
‘Come to think of it… .’
What the comedian wants is the same as before.
She wanted Sieghart’s fame this time too. In other words, if you take the bait and shake it well, you might be able to exploit her plan.
‘It won’t change much.’
It’s still because I’m young compared to my power and status.
‘It’s the second match of Kkaengpan… .’
Raon made up his mind and raised his gaze.
“It is possible, but there is one thing you need.”
“What is it?”
Glenn’s voice sounded softer than usual.
“We need permission to carry Sieghart on our backs.”
“Are you saying that you will participate in the establishment ceremony as an executive with authority, not just as a guest?”
“That’s right.”
“I see what you’re thinking.”
He rubbed his chin and nodded.
“Can you play it right?”
“I am at the end of puberty, so I have the confidence to burn the last flame.”
“It is the last flame. I look forward to it.”
When Glenn snapped his fingers, the space in front of his eyes split open and a sword crest engulfed in golden flames popped out.
“It is a sign that your will becomes mine. Will this be enough?”
“ah… .”
Raon’s fingertips trembled as he received the pattern on the sword. He thought he would write a document or something, but he didn’t know that he would hand out a sentence representing the will of the family head.
“This is so precious… .”
“Okay. To properly cause the storm of puberty and come back.”
Glenn shook his hand and drew a light smile.
“I will not disappoint you.”
Raon nodded his head with a smile similar to Glenn’s.
“As soon as we return, we will hand over this pattern to the Lord of Gwangpungdae… .”
“what are you talking about.”
Glenn’s voice curved for the first time.
“Are you really going to give it to him?”
Those words reminded me of what Rimer with this pattern would do.
[How much does it cost to sell this? Is it pure gold?]
[I received Sieghart’s full authority! transaction? yes i will do it! Then how much does it fall on me?]
[Can you pay off your gambling debt with this? What? The one who can obtain Sieghart’s full power… .]
As if looking at the heavenly flag, in less than a second, Limer came up with what to do with this pattern.
-The original king is also drawn on the head.
Lars frowned.
-Even if you buy the whole ice cream parlor… .
‘It’s like you.’
He sighed and shook his head. In any case, this was something that should never have fallen into Rimmer’s hands.
“I will take care of it.”
“Good judgment.”
He bowed his head to Glenn and put the pattern into his bosom.
“and… .”
At his gesture, Cheryl, who was standing behind the throne, came forward.
“In an invisible place, the Cheongeomdae will escort the Gwangpungdae.”
“Please take good care of me.”
Cheryl lightly shook her hand.
“An escort… .”
Raon opened his mouth wide.
‘Isn’t the navel bigger than the stomach?’
Sending her as an escort seemed like a waste, even if she was in a difficult position to mess around with.
“Currently, the vicinity of Cameloon is no different from a magic circle about to explode.”
Glenn’s eyes softened as if he understood the thought.
“I admit your powerlessness, but that is only for your age. There are still many people stronger than you on the continent. It’s not a good move to move without countermeasures.”
“that’s right. I want to go alone, but I can’t play as I please because the stormy period has already passed.”
Cheryl rubbed the back of her neck and smiled lightly.
Raon looked at Glenn and Cheryl and nodded.
‘I certainly don’t know what will happen.’
Since Shinjuohyeong ate up gaps in the continent, big and small wars were taking place in succession here and there.
It was right that we needed countermeasures because we did not know what kind of problems would arise at the founding ceremony of such Shinju-O-Lyeong.
‘However, it’s a very sure countermeasure.’
When I heard that Cheryl, who was no different from Glenn’s escort, would follow me, my heart was relieved.
“All right.”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn and Cheryl.
“Since you laid the board, let’s play the business trip properly.”
* * *
Glenn closed his eyes and let a small smile cross his lips.
“Heh heh heh.”
Loen looked up at Glenn with warm eyes.
“You seem to be having fun.”
“Isn’t that funny?”
Glen looked at the carpet Raon was standing on and raised his finger.
“It’s a business trip, no one will be able to show that kind of confidence.”
Raon declared that he would go on a business trip and left the audience room, as if he wanted to play properly.
Its back was so trustworthy that I wanted to give it a cool pat.
“It is. Because you always surpass our thoughts.”
Roen nodded in agreement with Glenn.
“It is a good opportunity to leave Kaengpan. I will come after meeting the head and successors of Xin Zuo Ling and gaining a lot of experience.”
A slight heat rose to Cheryl’s cheeks. It was an expression of anticipation of what Raon would do when he went there.
“That is correct.”
Glenn nodded.
“Actually, that’s the most important thing.”
It’s true that you don’t like comedy, but just ignore it.
Raon was sent to the establishment ceremony because he wanted him to carry the name of Sieghart and gain experience.
‘Then he’ll have a little more interest in being the successor.’
Raon still doesn’t have a big idea about the successor. He could only hope that he would not become an undeserving one.
I hoped to take this opportunity to know the responsibility and importance of Sieghart’s name.
Glenn buried his back deeply into the throne and lowered his eyes.
‘I’m looking forward to seeing how he will change and come back.’

After leaving Gajujeon, Raon returned to the 5th gymnasium. After stopping his training, he called everyone to the stage.
“What happen?”
Dorian rubbed his stomach pocket as if he was already feeling uneasy.
“The timing is bad.”
“It was just the right moment!”
“I was sorry.”
Burren, Marta, and Runan frowned, saying they were on the verge of defeating Mark Goetton.
“I could have hidden it too.”
Mark Goetton shook his head, saying that would be difficult.
“fist.”
When Raon raised his hand, the gwangpungdae, who had been talking about each other, shut their mouths and lined up and took a posture.
“A new mission has arrived.”
“mission?”
“Well, it’s about time.”
“Because I’ve only been training since the end of last year.”
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors were delighted with their mission and smiled excitedly.
“What mission is it?”
Crane was the first to raise his hand. Falling and questions were the fastest.
“Xin Zhuo Ling is holding a festival to celebrate the founding of the five groups, and the Comedy of the White Watch invites our family.”
Raon frowned and spoke.
“… It was revealed on the surface, and in reality, he intends to use Sieghart’s name one more time.”
At those words, a faint light bloomed in the eyes of the windmill.
“Is that it again?”
Burren frowned and struck the sword sheath.
“They have no arms, no legs. Why do you keep trying to sell our name!”
Martha gnashed her teeth as if she wanted to run at it right away.
“Sucker shark.”
Runan shook his head as if he was pathetic.
“These are really pathetic guys.”
“Because they have a low reputation. Can’t you see anything?”
“Dirty bastards.”
The other prosecutors also frowned, as if they didn’t like Xin Zhuo-ling’s event.
“Then the mission… .”
“that’s right. The windmills participated in the festival on behalf of Sieghart.”
“representative?”
“hmm.”
Gwangpungdae’s eyes change when he hears the word “representative.”
Some were proud, some were burdened, but the eyes of the swordsmen did not waver at all.
“Since each and every one of our actions represents Sieghart, each of us should think about what to do and what to be careful of. Departure is in two days. dissolution.”
“yes!”
Raon left the gymnasium with his head bowed at the cry.
Looking at the backs of the swordsmen with a frost-like aura, it seemed like there was no need to worry.
“It’s a mission. It’s annoying.”
Raon turned his head at the thin voice he heard from behind. Rimer, who had returned before he knew it, was crawling out of his sleeping bag.
“Even if it bothers you, you should go.”
Raon felt Rimmer coming, so he calmly shook his head.
“It would be comfortable to just fight, but that’s not it.”
“That’s right.”
“however… .”
Rimmer narrowed his eyes.
“Has the head of household given you anything?”
It felt good to be on this side of a person who could not normally be noticed.
“What are you talking about?”
Raon let out a calm voice to dispel Rimer’s suspicions.
“If you had that kind of personality, you would have given me something if I sent you as a representative.”
“There is no such thing.”
I shook my head without avoiding Rimmer’s gaze.
“Still, since he’s the representative, he’s the one who’ll give you a guarantee.”
He rubbed his fingers.
“doesn’t exist.”
“No, obviously… .”
“No.”
When Raon frowned, Rimer stepped back.
“Or not. Why are you angry?”
He turned his back and asked if he was becoming a real jerk.
Raon shook his head, feeling the warmth of the mark he had placed in his bosom.
‘A human like a ghost.’
no elf.
* * *
The office of the head of the family, built at the heart of the Robert family.
Derus Robert finished signing the papers he was looking at and put down his pen. His hand, which had been tapping on the desk, picked up the letter lying to his left.
The letter, like the one Glenn was holding, was engraved with the mark of the White Watch.
“It’s a hundred whales.”
Derus smiled lightly as he touched the white whale drawn on the envelope.
“Siris.”
At his call, a man clad in black armor jumped out of the shadow of the bookshelf.
“Did you call?”
A pale young man called Siris lowered his head.
“How is the white whale?”
“It is neither good nor bad. The fame that the comedy festival originally wanted to gain was scattered like fog, but the ruined reputation was barely captured. Still, the value of the name and popularity have declined, so it would be right to see it as a loss.”
He clicked his tongue, muttering that it was a stupid farce.
“You’re stupid… .”
Derus licked his lips and put down the white whale’s invitation.
“That won’t be it.”
“yes?”
“The Comedian’s ploy was quite good. It’s easy to spot, but hard to prevent. but… .”
He touched the gloved hand.
“There were unexpected variables. Raon Sieghart. Since I was beaten by someone who should have had a light conversation and ended it, it’s only right to praise him for staying sane.”
“I can’t believe it from there. Not to mention Glenn, it’s full of Sieghart executives, but it’s conceivable what the sub-owner did.”
Siris shook her head, not understanding.
“I’ll admit that Raon Sieghart is a genius in swordsmanship, but that kind of intelligence seems a bit lacking. Aren’t you estimating him too highly?”
“Do you rate it highly? On the contrary, he is still alive because he rated it so low.”
Derus shook his head resolutely.
“Raon Sieghart is not someone to be judged by knowledge or intelligence. The emphasis is on the insight to see through a messy situation and the ability to act right away to implement the solution you learned. He was born with that rare talent.”
Raon Sieghart, whom I met in person, had amazing insight and action. If he was a bastard, he could have acted according to rumors.
“Even without knowledge and intelligence, he is instinctively a monster.”
“hmm… .”
Siris swallowed dryly.
“If Sieghart sends someone to this establishment celebration, there is a high possibility that Raon will go.”
“If you go, yes. Now that you’ve shown a good side, you’ll want to show Sieghart’s presence even when you go. It just doesn’t seem like there’s anything I can do.”
“That’s right.”
Derus nodded.
“Hmm… .”
He licked his lips as he looked at the letter in agony.
“Are you sure you want to go?”
“Because it’s right to get rid of him as soon as possible.”
“No, it’s easy to kill.”
Siris shrugged.
“I am thinking about how to do that. In fact, as I said before, these are the best conditions for Admiral Lee.”
“But why… .”
“Because if one more poison gets in, the situation will be ruined.”
Derus narrowed his eyes as he looked at the gloves he was wearing.
“Or two more poisons could get in. It is unpredictable.”
He frowned, saying that he did not know which of the Six Emperors and Horses would come in the New Zhou Ling.
“Then let me go.”
Siris bowed her head.
“you?”
“yes. If I can’t become Admiral Lee, the only thing I have to use is a sword. They are also complete, so it would be nice to test them out.”
“Hmm… .”
Derus snapped his finger, and a blue dimension opened in the air, and a box the size of a human head popped out.
He tapped the box and heard the sound of something hard hitting inside.
“how will we do it.”
