Chapter 481
“A meeting of the Gods and the Five Spirits… .”
Raon let out a cold laugh as he looked at McCain.
“Are you following the Council of the Six Emperors?”
“no.”
McCain shook his head calmly, knowing he was laughing.
“The personalities of the forces that make up the New Zhou Five Spirits are starkly different. To be honest, I wonder how the five groups, including Baek Kyung, came together.”
That’s right. It feels like Baek Kyung brought the black market to light, and the magic reunion I saw yesterday was like watching the North and South Alliance.
It was obvious that the other three groups also had different characteristics. Since those who had no ties to each other came together to avoid being checked by the Six Emperors, it was only natural that they needed to exchange opinions.
“Meetings are essential to harmonize the views of five different groups. It is a necessary procedure unlike meat hwang, which has already been completed.”
McCain frowned, saying that they had stabbed each other in meetings before.
“Why are you calling me to such an important meeting?”
Raon untied his hands behind his back and completely turned to McCain.
“It’s because Raon-nim came on behalf of Sieghart.”
“I am not a real representative.”
“Since Rimer-nim is nowhere to be seen, I have no choice but to pass it on to Raon-nim.”
“Then can we send our great lord?”
“… That’s right.”
McCain’s reply was slightly delayed.
‘Comedy wants me to come. Are you plotting something again?’
Of course, I had no intention of sending the troublemaker Limer to the meeting, but just knowing the idea of the comedian was a great harvest.
“Whoever attends the meeting, I want to show that our Shen Zhuo Ling has no hostility towards Lu Huang.”
McCain bowed his head, saying he had no intentions other than that.
“Didn’t you come from another Yukhwang?”
“Once, Owen and the kingdom of Balkar did not respond.”
“I guess so.”
Raon nodded calmly.
‘Because he’d think he ignored it.’
Right above the city of Varenna in the New Orient is the trading city of Cameroon, with Owen and Balkar on either side.
It was clear that the two kingdoms would have bad feelings for Xin Zuo-Ling, as they cleverly used the neutral area to build a city.
“In the League of Beasts, um… .”
McCain blurted out his last words. As he recalled Yawang Ogram’s ferocious face, he could clearly see what had become of the envoy sent there.
“At the Magic Tower, you came faster than Sieghart.”
“At the magic tower?”
Raon widened his eyes.
‘I thought you wouldn’t come?’
It was unexpected that the Mage Tower, which they thought would not come beyond the League of Beasts, sent people so quickly.
“Who is here?”
“This is YuRia’s new name.”
“The new Yuria… .”
I’ve heard rumors. I heard that he is a young wizard called a genius who came out of the Mage Tower after 100 years and has very little outside activity, but he didn’t know he was here.
“Not only the Six Emperors, but also the heads of other neutral factions have been invited, so please be sure to attend.”
McCain bowed his head, asking again.
“Then are you inviting the black market or the Yonan family?”
“That’s right.”
“When is the meeting?”
“This is dinner. It will be held with the first banquet.”
“Tonight?”
Raon looked up at the sky and frowned.
“Isn’t this usually something you have to tell me a few days in advance?”
“There were people who were against making the meeting public, but they changed their minds only this morning. We ask for your understanding as we are trying to show our sincerity.”
– Say no!
Lars shook his head at such a speed that his eyes could not be seen.
-Didn’t you make a promise with the king? tell it to go off!
The guy gnashed his teeth saying he should never go.
‘Um, I’m sorry… .’
Raon shook his head as he grabbed Lars’ head.
‘I guess I’ll have to go. Let’s postpone the meal appointment for a bit.’
The chance to meet the head of Shin Juo-ling at once is not common. It’s only right to attend meetings and find out what they’re thinking.
– You paid all the money while making a restaurant reservation!
‘That’s what the Gwangpungdae kids can eat. I’ll tell you to leave some.’
– It doesn’t taste good when it’s cold!
‘It can’t be helped.’
-Keuuuuugh! Damned skies! Damn world!
Lars’ body turned back into strawberry-flavored cotton candy.
– It can’t be! Just hand over!
‘Suddenly what… .’
-Last time, I couldn’t eat ice cream, and this time, even lobster and pig’s feet. I will freeze everything that interferes with the main king’s meal and come back!
Saliva flowed from Lars’ mouth, revealing his anger.
– I will eat well and give it back! Hand it over now!
‘Eat well?’
-Ah, no, I’ll write it finely and return it!
‘Wipe your saliva and lie… .’
* * *
Raon put on a black dragon robe over his black robe and left the room.
Ancia and Denning Rose were standing in the lobby, but the colors of the two were starkly different.
Denning Rose was wearing a darker color dress than yesterday, as if she were at a funeral, and Encia was wearing a brightly colored shirt and pants that seemed to be somewhere between work clothes and a dress, as if she wasn’t paying attention to the meeting.
“Are you two ready?”
“It’s done.”
“… fail.”
Unlike Denning Rose, who responded calmly, Ensia lowered her shoulders.
“What happened?”
“A picture.”
Ensia raised the camera and bit her lip.
“The picture in my subspace pocket disappeared while I was sleeping!”
“Sheep is no joke, but being somewhere else… .”
“It can’t be! Because only A-class disappeared!”
“A grade?”
“I mean the best picture.”
Denning Rose replaced the explanation for class A. When she looked over there, she blushed in embarrassment.
“Looking at how well he took the A-ranks, it’s clear that he knows Raon-nim well!”
While Encia was grinding her teeth, the door to the mansion opened and Rimmer came in.
“uh? Where are you all dressed up and going?”
Rimer tilted his head with a bottle in his hand.
“As a representative of Sieghart, I was invited to the meeting of Shin Zhuo Ling. Will the great lord go?”
He had no intention of conceding, but just in case, he asked if he was willing to go to Rimmer.
“Ah, why do I bother going there?”
Rimmer gave the expected answer and shook the bottle.
“You know I believe in our deputy leader, right? You do it yourself!”
He gave a cool smile and tapped his shoulder.
“wow… .”
“That’s our landlord… .”
“Isn’t it just crazy?”
“I’m going crazy, really.”
The swordsmen of the light wind band sighed as they looked at Rimer, who seemed very drunk.
“That’s just… .”
Martha trembled with her clenched fists, not wanting to run out and hit him.
However, contrary to their thoughts, Rimer did not smell like alcohol.
“Lord.”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Rimer stumble.
“What happened?”
“What are you doing?”
“I think you are angry.”
Today, Limer was different from usual. I couldn’t explain the exact reason, but it felt like his emotions were boiling like lava.
“Why am I angry? It just feels good.”
Rimer shook his head, saying no at all. The look on his face made him even more suspicious.
-You are right.
Lars looked at Rimer and nodded.
– That ear is angry.
‘anger?’
-From the first time I saw him, I didn’t like him because of that.
‘What do you mean?’
-That ear-piercing has deep anger at the bottom of his soul, but he did not reveal it. It’s like a no-nonsense guy.
He said he was an idiot who couldn’t be honest with his feelings and wrinkled his face.
‘Then did I feel the difference because of the anger?’
I think I sensed his strangeness because Rimmer was angry.
‘Why are you suddenly angry?’
-Why, why? Probably because I lost all my money!
Lars tapped his head, asking why he didn’t know that simple thing.
‘I don’t think it’s like that.’
Rimmer is genuinely not upset no matter how much money he loses. At times, it seemed to me that he was deliberately trying to lose money.
“Ah, it makes me angry.”
Rimmer came over and grabbed him by the collar.
“You took all the money from the gambling house, so the rookies are frantically collecting money from hukou! I lost everything too!”
He recited how desperately he fought in the gambling hall and headed to his room.
‘It’s not because of gambling.’
Raon frowned at Rimer’s staggering back.
‘I’ll have to dig it up later.’
* * *
Raon, guided by Mecain, headed to the meeting hall of Shinjuohyeong built in the center of Barene with Ensia and Denning Rose.
Perhaps because the real festival starts today, the road to the conference hall was full of crowds. Unmanned people, merchants, tourists, and even onlookers overlapped, so there was no space to set foot.
If Baek Kyung hadn’t opened the way, he would have had a hard time taking Denning Rose and Ensia with him.
“This is the conference hall of Barene.”
McCain, who led the way, calmly lowered his head and pointed to a building that soared into the sky.
The meeting hall was as huge and magnificent as Owen’s royal castle, probably to increase the awareness of Shin Zhuo Ling. If you didn’t know it, you would think it was not a conference hall, but a royal castle or a temple.
“Please go in.”
“thank you.”
Raon nodded to McCain and opened the conference room door.
The iron door, huge enough for an ogre to enter, was pushed in silently. At the same time, graceful moonlight pours down from the glass-trimmed ceiling.
The hallway, where the elegant moonlight fades, seemed to be the realization of Malten’s stairs, which are said to be able to approach God.
‘It’s splendid enough to be sacred.’
Originally, the weaker the animal, the more it hides itself in splendor. It was felt that he did not have true prestige unlike the power of Shin Zuo-Ling.
Raon exhaled lightly and stepped on the red carpet. He moved to the center of the conference hall where a rectangular table was set up with calm and energetic steps.
Even though we arrived on time, there were not many empty seats. Judging by the atmosphere, the others seemed to have arrived a long time ago.
I turned my gaze the other way. Only Dumbt Khan of the Twen family, who had been sparring yesterday, and Byton, the commander of the Holy Knights of the Super Holy Kingdom, could be seen. Not only them, but also the majority of the heads of households and major owners of neutral powers who might have heard of their names. It was true that I called a lot of people.
The comedian who was sitting at the head of the table sent a greeting. A man and woman she had never seen before sat next to her, and her fingertips trembled at the air waves that naturally bloomed from the two of them.
‘Are they the heads of the remaining Shinju Five Spirits?’
The blonde woman sitting on the left was holding a sword with her arms crossed, but her eyes were so fierce that it was hard to look at her properly. A cool atmosphere like a sharpened knife. That woman seemed to be Brigitte with the alias of After the Evil Sword.
To the right of the comedian was an old man with clean gray hair who seemed to be smiling because of his narrow eyes. Contrary to Brigitte, he exudes a gentle aura, but it was clear that this man who made his chest feel more uneasy was the swordsman Drek.
Perhaps because three of the leaders of Xin Zuo Ling were together, this huge meeting hall looked as small as a corner of a room.
“Sit down.”
After completing the search, Raon gave up his seat to Denning Rose and Encia first. As I was about to sit down at the end, the door to the meeting room opened again.
“You’re here too!”
Scratching his head, the ghost spear that came in waved his hand.
“How are you going to entertain me again today?”
He smirked and asked me to make something fun this time.
“You didn’t come here to have fun.”
Raon shook his head as he watched the ghost spear headed for the seat of honor.
“omg!”
“Uh… .”
“Ji, did White Geomryong speak ill of the demon sergeant just now?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Dae, what were you thinking… .”
The heads of the neutral forces sitting at the table were frightened and their eyes trembled.
“That’s true, but it’s fun just to see you.”
After hearing the banal words, Ghost Chang made a deeper smile and didn’t even get angry.
“Ra, Raon.”
The Comedian bit his lip while singing Raon. Here, it was an expression asking for restraint, but just by looking at it, I could tell that it was acting.
“Heh heh heh.”
When Raon was watching the comedy festival and was about to sit in the remaining seat, a low laugh was heard from the seat of honor. It was similar to Loen, but the voice was filled with sympathy.
“Perhaps because he gained fame at such a young age, Sieghart’s representative has no manners.”
It was a death swordsman. His eyes narrowed and he drew pupils like snakes.
“… … .”
Raon looked down at the Four Swordsman with his back straight.
“Your eyes are fierce. Did I even say something wrong?”
Sharp words and fierce energy rushes. The pressure that makes it hard to even open your mouth. The stems of suspicion created by the Four Sword Demons surrounded her body.
“From now on, please speak up to anyone.”
Raon closed his eyes as the evil swordsman mumbled nonsense.
‘Intention is intention.’
Just like when I blocked the attack of the ghost spear, I drew out my aura and will at the same time.
Through enlightenment, a more strengthened image was opened, and a lofty air wave soared like a blade.
Jijijijijik!
I cut off the rope of doubt caused by the evil swordsman and headed for the seat of honor.
“Who are you calling?”
“what… .”
The Death Swordsman’s lips trembled, as if he didn’t know that his will would be broken.
“Did you call Raon Sieghart, the White Sword Dragon?”
With dry eyes, Raon looked down at the Four Swordsman and the heads of the Shinju Five Spirits.
“It wasn’t the white sword dragon, Raon Sieghart, who was invited, but Sieghart’s executive. My coming here means that I am representing Sieghart.”
A red flame burns with strong will. The black dragon’s scales sprouted and the black waves roared.
The pattern of the new sword worn on the left chest received an auspicious light from the heat of the cartoonist.
“You are the ones who have the wrong habit.”
A red flash was reflected in the eyes of Raon, who was alone in the meeting room.
“Let’s raise our voices from now on.”
