Chapter 539
“But before that… .”
Glenn’s red eyes narrowed deeply.
“Let’s continue what we are doing.”
“Are you talking about training?”
Raon asked as he looked at the Jecheon sword that held the moonlight thinly.
“Since you said you caught Kaibar, show me how much you’ve grown.”
“As I said in the Gajujeon, I did not do it alone. aunt. No, Aris-sama took on all the hard work, and I just took my breath away at the end.”
“… … .”
Glenn pursed his lips and wrinkled his brow. The expression is not good. I guess it was because she brought out her aunt again.
‘You really hate it.’
He raised his sword, vowing never to call out his aunt in front of Glenn from now on.
“Then let’s just relax a bit.”
Raon raised the Celestial Sword to the top. He grabbed the sword bottle with both hands and concentrated on cutting the moonlight reflected in the lake.
Whoa!
It was a downward slash that even a five-year-old child could do, but Raon’s sword, which had been practicing basic training every single day, was different.
It was refined as if it had been angled, it was free as if it could reach anywhere, and the sharpness that could cut anything came out.
From vertical cuts to horizontal cuts, diagonal cuts, and stabbing. Raon tried to concentrate his mind and muscles on the basic swordsmanship that he could practice even with his eyes closed.
After drawing the mad sword and the herbivorous sword like a real fight, he turned around while wiping his sweat.
“You haven’t let go of basic swordsmanship until now.”
Glenn frowned between his brows and untied his arms.
“yes. If I had time, I would have continued.”
“Why? You must have polished that level of basic skill to the point where you can practice it even with your eyes closed.”
“It’s because the sword I’m aiming for is the only sword that encompasses all swords like the family head. Basic swordsmanship is like the roots of a tree, so I thought that if the foundation was shaken, my sword itself would collapse.”
Raon took out what he thought while training his basic swordsmanship.
“excellent.”
Glenn covered his mouth with his hand and nodded. His fingers seemed to tremble gently.
“I was wondering how he polished his image to the point of defeating a grand master, and it was thanks to his faithful swordsmanship.”
“Go, thank you.”
Raon lowered his head with bewildered eyes.
‘I didn’t expect you to praise me openly… .’
Glenn is not one to take compliments lightly. When I say he’s great, I mean he’s really good. He was rewarded for sticking to basic swordsmanship.
“That basic is what brought you to the sword realm. It’s unfinished, but how did it feel to use the sword world for the first time?”
“It felt like I was using my strength, which had grown a little more, in advance.”
When I unfolded the harmony of the gods and demons, I felt like I was pulling my swordsmanship and aura that had reached Grand Master or higher.
“It is not wrong. But it doesn’t fit either.”
Glenn narrowed his wrinkled eyes.
“The realization of the sword world is to bring the strength of your imagination that you can handle in the present into reality.”
“The power of imagination… .”
“That’s why the life and sword accumulated so far are melted in the world of swords.”
“ah… .”
Is that why I ended up using two swords and ice?
Thanks to Glenn’s advice, I was able to understand a little more about how my sword world came about and how to grow it in the future.
It felt like his words widened the world of images.
“one more.”
As I was about to say thank you, Glenn continued.
“As you learn the long sword, there comes a time when you focus on the swordsmanship you are familiar with and neglect the swordsmanship you lack. Even if it is painful, face your own shortcomings.”
He even gave me a second piece of advice to see if he liked the answer about basic swordsmanship.
“I will keep that in mind.”
Engraving Glenn’s words in my heart, I decided to improve my swordsmanship in tomorrow’s training.
f*ck!
Glenn snapped his fingers lightly. An antique box protruded from the air as a soft glow spread like the finely sinking moonlight. He grabbed the box and held it forward.
“Take it.”
“This… .”
“Didn’t you tell me in the audience room? I will tell you about Kaibar later.”
Raon nodded slightly as he accepted the box Glenn gave him.
‘This is why you came.’
Now I know why Glenn came to the annex. He was going to give you advice and this box as a reward for catching the light dragon.
“It is a red flow. It is an elixir made by harmonizing Yeongcho and Naedan of the fire attribute, so it will go well with the cleaning group given earlier. Let’s eat together.”
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn while holding onto the red box.
“excuse me… .”
“what?”
“Actually, there was an incident when Kaibar was captured.”
The Dragon Lord appeared and told Glenn what he had threatened.
“Dragon is a race that is the same as the natural enemy of humans. Cities fall to their tails, and hundreds of people die. Especially those who hate humans like Kaibar are a disaster.”
Glenn twisted his mouth as if he already knew about Kaibar’s misdeeds.
“What you did was right and right. Never mind what the Dragon Lord said. Call me right away the next time you see him.”
He frowned, saying that dragons are selfish people who think only they are justice.
“All right.”
When Glenn said that, it made me feel better. It wasn’t scary even if the ancient dragons rushed at it.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two looked at each other without speaking for a while.
“hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Glenn lick his lips.
‘Why are you doing that?’
He gave instructions and even gave the elixir, but unlike usual, Glenn didn’t leave right away and stayed there.
‘Who are you talking to?’
I was about to send a message to come to someone else, but suddenly Glenn gestured.
“Experience advanced swordsmanship. It seems like I’m lacking something, so I’ll take care of your martial arts.”
“yes? Ah yes!”
I thought it was enough, but it was a good opportunity, so Raon showed off the swordsmanship he made himself, the swordsman’s swordsmanship, and the longbow sword.
“The manga artist’s swordsmanship is definitely strong, but there is a texture that doesn’t match the current you. Adjust a little more to suit your senses. The sword you made yourself… .”
Glenn looked at all of those swordsmanships and gave them cool yet esoteric advice.
It’s hard to understand right away, but I’m just grateful that he always told me that way.
However, even though all swordsmanship training was over, Glenn did not leave, rubbing his fingers and looking up at the night sky.
When Raon saw the annex behind Glenn, he clenched his fists.
‘I don’t know why you’re quiet, but now’s my chance to talk.’
I approached Glenn, determined to bring out the resolution I had made after seeing Sylvia at the diner today.
“My lord.”
“Do me… .”
Raon called out to Glenn, then stopped and raised his hand.
“Tell me first.”
“No, you speak first.”
Glenn said it was okay and shook his hand.
“Well, sooner or later, mother’s short circuit and mana circuit will be restored.”
Raon nodded and brought out the words he had been organizing in his head.
“Are you using Dragon Heart?”
As if he already knew the way, Glen looked back at Ensia’s room, which smelled of strong mana.
“yes. I’m going to make her mother’s danteon with the dragon heart given by Aris-sama, so that she can restore her previous inaction.”
Raon stepped in front of Glenn and knelt down.
“The reason why the head of the household doesn’t want to call Aris-nim aunt is because I’m still a collateral.”
“… … .”
“I know that I cannot become a direct descendant even with the seven gold plates I have now.”
If you add up all the official and unofficial gold plaques, there are 7 of them.
It’s not a small number, but it’s not enough to overcome the interference of direct relatives and restore Sylvia’s status.
‘That’s why I have to gamble…’ .’
Raon raised his eyes burning with the will to do it and looked into Glenn’s eyes filled with futility.
“Please restore Sylvia Sieghart to the direct line by winning the sparring with the king next year with the gold plates collected so far.”
“… … .”
Glenn didn’t answer. She shook her shoulders again, covering her own mouth with her long, large hand. His gaze, lost in her thoughts, fell fiercely.
“Your father is strong. Even if you are the same grand master, your level and experience are different from the apprentice of the Holy Sword Trainer you said you beat.”
“I know.”
Raon nodded. I still can’t forget the evil spirit of my father. He knew better than anyone how strong he was.
“Are you still going to try?”
“Because the me of that day will be different from the me now.”
“Are you saying you have the confidence to improve?”
“That’s right.”
He said he could do it calmly and confidently.
“It is as you say. It’s not easy to raise Sylvia to the direct line even with seven gold plates. but… .”
Glenn’s red eyes reflected the eyes of Raon, who looked exactly like him.
“If you achieve the feat of defeating your father at the age of 22, that is an acceptable condition.”
He nodded coolly.
“In the name of the family head, I will accept your conditions.”
“thank you!”
Raon bowed his head deeply to Glenn.
“I don’t need a greeting. Because it hasn’t happened yet.”
Glenn shook his hand to say thank you when he was done.
“Then, what the head of the family was trying to say… .”
Raon stood up and brought up what Glenn had stopped talking about.
“… … .”
Glenn said nothing for a long while, then turned his head away.
“Nothing.”
“yes? I’m sure you said Hal… .”
“If you have nothing to do, I told you to practice.”
“ah… .”
“Let’s just go.”
Glenn disappeared with a furrowed brow as if he had suddenly been offended.
Raon tilted his head as he looked at where Glenn was.
‘Why was the floor dug out like this?’
* * *
Glenn left the annex’s lake and headed towards the middle of Mt. Bukmang.
“Ugh… .”
Rimmer, who was leaning against the Tiger Rock, sighed deeply.
“Why did you just come after you went to listen to your grandfather!”
He shook his head as if Glenn didn’t understand.
“Heh heh heh.”
Loen let out a light laugh as she lowered the booklet she was holding.
“Big… .”
Glenn lowered his hand that was covering his mouth in front of the two of them. The corners of her mouth, which had risen to the top of her sky, were quivering.
“You, aren’t you so admirable?”
“yes? what is that… .”
Rimmer blinked blankly at Glenn.
“It is great to be faithful to the basic swordsmanship and to achieve the incarnation of the sword world at that age, but isn’t it too proud to hand over the dragon heart right away to my mother? A dragon heart that goes beyond the elixir and can be called a spiritual object itself is used to create Sylvia’s danteon without hesitation! Where did such a good, nice guy come from!”
Glenn clenched his fists, saying he couldn’t stand it because his grandson was so wonderful. His mighty will spread like a spider’s web, and the whole of Bukmang Mountain began to shake.
“Then give him a hug!”
Rimer touched his forehead, telling him not to do this here and to reveal himself in front of Raon.
“Heh heh heh, my lord. Calm down your excitement.”
Loen shook his head at Glenn to prevent Mount Beomang from collapsing in the middle of the night.
“How can you calm down your excitement! I’ve never seen a kid like that in my life. It’s not because he’s my grandson, he’s a child who will be praised no matter where he is presented!”
Glenn spat out the words he had been holding back in front of Raon like a rapid-fire shot.
“I know best that Raon is a good guy! But now, listening to his grandfather is what matters!”
“Didn’t Raon tell you that?”
“yes… ?”
Rimer tilted her head as if to say something.
“Didn’t you say that next year you will defeat your father and come to call yourself grandfather?”
“Uh, when?”
“It means to return Sylvia to the direct line with the gold plaques and achievements of capturing her father. When Sylvia becomes her direct descendant, Lao will naturally become her direct descendant, and she will call me her grandfather! That kid asked me to wait for that!”
He yelled at me for not understanding.
“You don’t see Raon’s great intentions.”
“Uh… .”
Rimmer grabbed his aching stomach. They said it was more a dream interpretation than a dream, but Glenn’s eyes and ears were already filled with pods about Raon, so it didn’t seem like anything he could say would work.
“I need Cheryl at times like this.”
Rimer let out a deep sigh. It was a pity that he wasn’t there because of the mission, because he would have to have that cold-hearted guy to speak properly.
“It’s not long now.”
Glenn cautiously rubbed his hands together, saying he could be called Grandpa next year.
“Loen.”
“yes. Lord.”
“You must have added today’s content to the Raon Gospel, right?”
“Of course.”
Loen smiled as she opened the booklet that was on her waist.
“I wrote down the philosophy of basic swordsmanship, the use of dragon hearts for Sylvia-sama, and the statement that she would defeat her father and put Sylvia-sama in the direct line.”
He recited Raon’s words and showed the booklet. On the white paper, there was a scene where Raon made a declaration with confident eyes.
“The picture has grown.”
“Heh heh, I practiced whenever I had time for this day.”
Loen smiled, saying that she took drawing classes every day to draw Raon.
“It’s all crazy… .”
Rimmer shook his head as he looked at Glenn and Loen smiling at each other.
“You too, wake up.”
Glenn wrinkled his brow as he looked at Rimmer.
“It is a long way off for the current Raon to defeat his father. Take good care of that child so that he can grow up.”
“That’s what you should do, of course. I just want the head of the family to help me too.”
“What are you asking for help with?”
“Seonggeomryeonju isn’t my kind of cat, but I can’t let go of Dragonhyeongeomju. So that I can kill my enemies… .”
A murderous wind bloomed over Rimer’s green eyes.
“Please help me with my training.”
* * *
“hmm… .”
Locan Slion chewed his lips thinly.
He should be more happy than ever because his youngest daughter, whom he cherishes the most in the world, has returned safely, but his mood is gradually sinking to the bottom.
The reason for his downturn was very simple.
“Raon moved us all to Owen’s kingdom and left the forest alone. He said he used a barrier… .”
After my lovely youngest daughter came home, I was just talking about Raon for 4 hours, and it made me feel sick.
‘That guy is great. know. Of course it’s okay to be thankful.’
Thanks to Raon, Runan lived, became stronger, and even became brighter, so of course I felt grateful to him.
However, as the name of Raon kept coming out of Runan’s mouth, as a father, his nerves were on edge.
“Raon went to the sea after that… .”
“Come on, let’s stop talking about that child, shall we talk about our daughter?”
Lokhan shook his hand gently, asking Runan to tell his story.
“When Dad visited Owen, he was too busy to see his face. What were you doing there?”
“You stay still. so? What happened next?”
On the contrary, Clara, Lokhan’s wife and Runan’s mother, waved her hand to continue, as if it was cute that Runan was talking so hard about Raon.
“huh. Then… .”
After explaining everything that had happened until today, Runan put the gold plate and the elixir on the table.
“That’s how we all got the gold plaque thanks to Raon.”
She stroked the gold plate, saying that it was not because of her achievements, but because of Raon.
“No! It’s not because of Raon’s son, but because you did well… .”
“what?”
When Lokhan called Raon his son, Runan’s blind eyes were shed.
“Keuheum, Joe, respectable Raon… .”
As soon as I said respectful, Runan’s frowning eyes loosened.
“That guy. No, it’s true that Jonzal Raon saved you, but you’re no different from saving him!”
Rokhan shook his head, telling him not to thank him unconditionally, saying that allies are exchanges.
“This is what your father said. You too need to be proud of yourself for risking your life for your comrades.”
Clara smiled as she stroked Runan’s hair.
“Ugh, I don’t know!”
It was when Rokhan put his forehead on his forehead and gulped down the entire drink.
Click!
The dining room door opened softly, and Syrian Slion entered with a cool smile.
“oh? Syria!”
“Syria? Why are you here at this hour!”
Clara and Lokhan smiled brightly at the sudden return of Syria.
“ah… .”
On the other hand, Runan dropped the ice cream he was holding on the floor as he watched Syrian smile. She shook her hands convulsively.
“I stopped by because Runan said he was back.”
Syria smiled as she took off her coat with snow on her shoulders.
“Looks like you’re eating.”
“Have you eaten?”
“no. It is still.”
“Prepare the food!”
“Are you hungry? Just wait a bit.”
Rokan ordered the kitchen to heat up the food, and Clara smiled as she brushed the snow off Syria’s hair.
“yes. I am a bit hungry.”
Syria looked at Runan, whose fingertips were trembling, and ran his tongue over his lips.
“I waited a long time.”
