Chapter 571
Raon raised his trembling eyelids.
‘It wasn’t a dream after all.’
A raccoon with a few leaves attached to its forehead stood tall and looked this way as if it had become a human.
‘Ras. You were right.’
I tapped Lars, who perfectly predicted this situation.
‘Ras?’
-Turn it off… .
Lars groaned as if he had been stabbed and fell to the floor. It seemed that he fainted in surprise at Merlin’s appearance.
‘A human who faints the demon king… .’
Shaking his head, he picked up the las and put it on his shoulder.
“Come this way at once.”
Raon gestured to Merlin and went inside the Gajujeon, where the rubble had not yet been cleared.
After hitting the curtain so that no one else could hear it, I sat down in a chair that looked fine.
“I love this kind of consideration.”
Merlin smiled as he sat down on the chair opposite him.
“It’s done. Have you been here all along?”
“huh. You are here, why would I leave?”
She brushed her hair elegantly, asking why are you asking something obvious. She seemed to have forgotten that she was herself and that she was a raccoon.
“First of all, I should say thank you. Thank you for stopping Rektar.”
Raon bowed his head to Merlin.
‘It would have been much harder without Merlin.’
Because Merlin appeared, the Sacred Sword Training Officer was able to bring out the words to return to Rektar. She was not exaggerating when she said that everyone lived thanks to her.
“Why do we say hello like that between us?”
Merlin waved his hairy hand, telling him not to say thank you.
‘Between us… .’
I wanted to ask what our relationship was like, but before that, I had something to say.
“Are you okay with this?”
Raon touched the armrest of the chair and narrowed his eyes.
“huh? what?”
“When you were in Barene, you interfered with the White Blood Church, and this time you blocked the Seonggeomyeon. Are you wondering if there is a problem inside Eden?”
“It’s not.”
She shook her head resolutely, much to the bewilderment of those concerned.
“Before I met you, I lived on my own. They’ll think the crazy bitch did something crazy and won’t say anything.”
“her… .”
“Ah, this is good. because you care creepy… .”
Merlin stroked his arms and blushed his cheeks. She lived and lived, never expecting to see the raccoon’s cheeks turn red.
“And if there is a problem, it doesn’t matter. It’s because you get out of Eden. I am in Eden now because I am helpful to you.”
She waved her hand, saying she was not interested in Eden’s goal of giving back.
“That’s not what I’m worried about.”
Raon sighed and pointed his finger at his head.
“Tachun or another official from Eden may have placed restrictions on you.”
“huh. walked.”
Merlin smiled lightly and nodded.
“But I solved it.”
“her?”
Raon widened his eyes as he looked at Merlin, who smiled calmly.
“Ta-Tacheon, right?”
“huh. It was a restriction that was difficult to perceive, and it was complicated and took a long time, but I solved it in the end.”
Merlin was a woman who made me laugh out loud the more I talked to her.
“Is it like brainwashing?”
“It’s not brainwashing, it’s a restriction that prevents you from lying without knowing it.”
She told me how to do it, but I didn’t understand it because it was magic.
‘Resolving the Fallen’s magic is amazing. however… .’
Did Tacheon leave only one of them?
Tacheon is the head of Eden, and is one of the best wizards and shamans in the entire continent. It didn’t seem like he would put only one restriction on him.
‘Because he smells like Derus.’
I didn’t prepare further for the satisfaction of having solved my brainwashing in my previous life, just waiting for the day I would leave the Robert family.
However, Derus had read all of my plans and thoughts by using Rage Worm, which can even read emotions, and beat me.
Tacheon was not an easy person, so he had to be as careful as possible.
“Besides that magic, there could have been other restrictions. Grab me and go through the whole thing. Not just the head, but also the heart and organs. You could have put Rage Worms in it.”
Raon gave Merlin the advice he realized in his previous life.
‘Was it a little talkative?’
It seemed that it could be called useless meddling by even saying useless things.
“huh. okay!”
But Merlin smiled and nodded his head. She seemed in a great mood.
“You be careful too. Three of the Oma are targeting you.”
On the contrary, Merlin patted Raon’s hand, telling him to take care of himself.
“I heard that the White Blood Church, Seonggeomryeon, and the Black Tower joined hands, is that true?”
Raon tapped the armrest with her finger as she said the names of three of the Omas she said.
“It will be right. I don’t know exactly about the White Blood Church, but I heard that the Holy Sword Master and the Black Tower Master met separately.”
Merlin nodded his head calmly.
“As expected.”
The alliance between Seonggeomryeon and the Black Tower, which he had guessed from the reaction of the Dragon Sword Master, was true. It seemed that the situation on the continent would fluctuate greatly.
“What about your Eden?”
“We don’t seem to have any intention of allying with anyone else.”
Merlin shook his head slowly.
“The goal of Tacheon and other executives is only to give back. It’s the same with the Heavenly Demon, so there doesn’t seem to be any reason to ally with other factions. but… .”
She raised her hand and patted her cheek.
“It is possible to lay a hand on the incidents caused by others.”
“After all, Eden must be careful, too.”
“that’s right. Tacheon is waiting for Seonggeomryeon, Baekhyeolgyo, and Black Tower to fight properly against Yukwang. In order to fulfill your plan in that gap.”
“What is the plan?”
“I don’t know either.”
Merlin shrugged his shoulders, saying that only he knew about Tacheon’s plan.
“Oh, right! congratulations are late Congratulations Grand Master!”
Merlin suddenly clapped his hands and shouted congratulations on becoming Grand Master. She was truly an unstoppable woman.
“Oh, thank you.”
Raon smiled. Somehow, she was the first to congratulate Merlin on becoming Grand Master.
“If it is you, you will surely be able to reach transcendence.”
Merlin’s eyes twinkled as if he really thought so. She just scratched her stomach, unable to overcome her animal instincts.
“Oh, I don’t know why the good times pass so quickly. I have to go.”
Raon gulped at Merlin’s mouth.
‘Is it food? Or grooming?’
Tension rose as if fighting a battle, not knowing what the raccoon might ask for.
“This child wants to go into a hot spring.”
“Oh, the hot spring… ?”
Words I hadn’t even thought of popped out of my head.
“Give him a bath!”
“for a moment!”
Raon tried to stop him, but Merlin had already disappeared, leaving only a raccoon that moved on all fours unlike her.
“Kwu.”
The raccoon tapped his ankle with his chubby hand, telling him to quickly make a hot spring.
‘Should I dig the ground and heat the water tonight… .’
Raon closed his eyes again.
* * *
Since the case was a case, the Gwangpungdae immediately returned to the family without taking a proper rest after a fierce battle.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Sieghart’s open front door.
‘Why is the door open?’
It is not uncommon for Sieghart’s front door to be left open.
Even if he was a member of the family, he would only open the door after identifying his identity, but it seemed that something had happened.
As I approached the main gate, anticipating what would happen, Foreign Minister Illiun came out like a bolt of lightning. For some reason, his left eyelid was black and bruised.
“Are you here!”
Illiun lowered his head towards Aris so that his waist was at a right angle.
“uh. external commander. thanks for your effort.”
Aris smiled and patted Iliun on the shoulder.
“yep!”
Illiun trembled at Aris’s hand, but did not straighten his back.
“her… .”
Seeing this, Raon let out a fuss.
‘what?’
I didn’t expect to see Illiun, a general of appearances who never loses his dignified posture even when a powerful outsider comes, shrinking like a beanworm.
“don’t mind. It’s because we quarreled a little in the past.”
Aris smiled when she read Raon’s bewildered eyes.
“It wasn’t a bit of a fight, wasn’t it a one-sided defeat?”
Rimmer scratched his head with his left hand and shook his head.
“I remember being in the hospital room for over two months because the Foreign Minister’s limbs were all broken. Seeing that the nuntang has become a night tang. You hit me again.”
He clicked his tongue briefly, revealing details of the past.
“Close your mouth… uh?”
Illiun stopped frowning at Limer and widened his eyes.
“Your arm!”
He looked at Rimmer, whose right sleeve was empty, and his lips trembled.
“Well, that’s how it happened.”
Rimmer smiled lightly, saying that it was better than losing his life.
“What a madman! That makes sense!”
“are you okay. Because all the guys with bright futures lived. One even jumped over a wall.”
He closed his eyes, saying that it was enough that Raon and Gwangpungdae survived.
“hmm.”
Illiun saw Raon standing behind Limer, and his eyes trembled as he did when he faced Aris.
“Have you really become a grand master?”
He was speechless for a moment as if he was dumbfounded.
“It seems like yesterday that I stepped out of this gate as a trainee, but you are already a grand master. Even the word monster is not enough.”
“I was lucky.”
“Even if you can become a master with luck. You can’t be a grandmaster.”
Illiun straightened his back and pulled his chin in tight.
“You did a good job taking care of the idiot. Welcome back.”
He took Sieghart’s sword with his hand on his chest.
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he received Illiun’s modest greeting.
“Mr. Foreign Minister?”
Although Illiun had been courteous to some extent after becoming the sub-owner, this was the first time he had been so polite.
“No need to be surprised.”
Rimer smiled lightly and grabbed Raon’s shoulder tightly.
“Because this is where you stand right now.”
He muttered to me to look forward to it, saying that there would be many interesting things in the future.
“By the way, who is the fool?”
At Rimer’s question, Raon and Illiun both looked at him at the same time.
“Hey, you f*cking bastards! Why am I an idiot!”
As he was about to have a seizure, Aris stomped his foot loudly.
“Aren’t you coming soon? The head of the family is waiting for you!”
Aris raised her fist and said, “If you don’t run right away, I’ll take you personally.”
“Let’s go.”
“Turn it off… .”
Raon took Rimer, who was blushing, and walked along the main road leading to Gajujeon.
“This is Aris-sama… .”
“As expected, the momentum itself is different.”
“lender. No, Jeonju is not like that… .”
Sieghart’s swordsmen passing the main street looked at Aris and simply shed admiration. But she wasn’t the only one her swordsmen exclaimed.
“Uh-that’s Raon Sieghart?”
“The atmosphere has completely changed.”
“To think it was true that he became a grand master… .”
“Well, then it’s true that you caught the dragon hyeon sword master!”
“A grandmaster at 21? It is unprecedented.”
“I’m glad you came from our family. If it was another family or kingdom, I would have died of stomachache.”
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he listened to the fierce reaction of the prosecutors.
‘The reaction is different from before.’
There have been many cases where swordsmen were surprised or showed admiration when returning from a mission before.
However, the direct lineage or direct follow-up prosecutors always shot a gaze filled with jealousy and hatred, but now there was none of that.
Every swordsman standing on this road sent only eyes filled with awe.
– It’s natural.
Lars looked down at the swordsmen and nodded.
– Humans and demons are not even jealous of their overwhelming power and talent, they are just filled with awe. Now they can’t see you as a being of the same dimension.
The guy shook his hands, saying that in the future, there will be fewer people who are dogged.
‘Right.’
Raon headed for Gajujeon, realizing that not only the world inside me, but also the outside world had changed a lot.
“You are here.”
Loen was in front of Gajujeon. After bowing his head to Aris, he looked at Rimer and fell silent.
“… You worked hard.”
Loen greeted Rimer and Raon in turn and guided them to the audience room.
The door to the audience room was wide open like the front door of Sieghart, and on both sides of the red carpet in the center stood the officers of the family.
On the podium erected in the center, as always, Glenn Sieghardt rested his chin on his chin with eyes filled with emptiness.
“I have returned after finishing my mission at the Gwangpungdae.”
Raon went to the front of the podium and knelt as an interim substitute because Rimmer was injured.
Following him, everyone in the Gwangpungdae knelt down and bowed their heads.
“Raise your head.”
Glenn nodded calmly, then looked at Rimmer’s right sleeve and frowned.
“Gwangpungdaelord. What about that arm?”
“My skills were not enough.”
Rimer bowed his head in front of Glenn, saying that he lacked his ability without making any excuses.
“Lord of the Storm Troops.”
“yes.”
At Glenn’s call, Raon raised his gaze.
“There are some things that are not written in the report.”
“I tried to tell you about the bad things in person.”
Raon recited the thoughts he had in mind when writing the report.
“Aris.”
“yes.”
“You came forward as if you were going to solve everything, but you couldn’t stop something like that?”
Glenn frowned at Aris this time.
“that is… .”
“It’s not your aunt’s fault.”
Raon came forward to cut off the reprimand towards Aris.
“aunt?”
Karune pulled the word aunt strongly.
“hmm… .”
Raon looked at Karoon and bit his lip.
‘To make such a mistake… .’
Aris kept threatening to call me aunt on her way back, so she came out without me knowing.
“Did you just say aunt?”
Karune curled up the corners of her mouth as if it was well received.
“Where is your aunt here! You stupid bastard who doesn’t even know the subject!”
“hey.”
Just as he was about to use the opportunity to put pressure on him, Aris stepped in front of Karune and lifted her chin.
“If you don’t want to get drunk, close your mouth.”
Aris glared at Karun with ferocious eyes like a beast, as if genuinely annoyed.
“I said I would listen to my aunt, but why the f*ck are you!”
“Um… .”
Karun’s jaw trembled as he couldn’t even close his open mouth at the terrifying air waves that emanated from Aris.
“That sister.”
Denier lowered his voice as he looked at the quiet match.
“It is in front of the head of the household. Such a vulgar sound… .”
“That’s why I didn’t say mouth, I said snout! If you twist it, it will stick together!”
“… … .”
The Gajujeon became quieter.
