Chapter 576
Aris raised her gaze above the podium with her shoulders drooping.
“Can you send it right now? When else will the day come when I can go to Sepia?”
She put her hands together saying she wants to go on a new journey.
“Didn’t you tell me? You can’t take a step out of here until you do what you put off.”
Glenn shook his head resolutely as if he hadn’t even thought about it.
“I’m not doing this because I want to play.”
Aris pointed with her thumb at the door that Raon and Rimer left and frowned.
“What if someone kidnaps rare genius Raon! Even if I go and find it then, it will be too late!”
She patted her chest boldly, saying that she would escort him.
“I don’t want to lose Chuck because of you, even with Sepia.”
Glen shook his hand, saying that it would be annoying to increase the number of enemies.
“Why are you losing Chuck? I’m just going sightseeing! I’ll stay still like a doll and come back.”
“I’m sure you’ll be fine going to that confined place.”
He sneered, saying that he would rather believe Rimmer’s words.
“In addition, Rimer is not going to Sepia as Sieghart’s envoy, he is only stopping by his hometown. The fact that they go outside will not be revealed, so there is no need to worry.”
“Sejak might be hiding again!”
Aris stomped her feet enough to shake the audience room and frowned.
“Even if Syrian Slion was crazy by itself, Rakion’s family itself rebelled. You don’t know if there are guys like that in the family!”
She let out a ferocious breath as if she was genuinely worried about Raon.
“Do you know why there are so many squeaking rats in Sieghart? It’s because of my father. If he subdued it by force, he should have crushed it to the end, but you gave him a chance to raise his head.”
Aris raised a bruised look at Glenn.
“You had to crack down on the inside, not just Oma!”
“You say everything right.”
Glen nodded calmly even after hearing Aris’ sharp words.
“The scars that were carved from the time when I was just walking the path of defeat have only opened up now, so it’s my fault, as you said.”
“father?”
Aris widened her eyes as if surprised by Glenn’s calm reaction.
“However, the search for spies had already begun. We’ve already finished our internal audit, and since last month we’ve been searching for vassals, so the results should come soon.”
Glenn looked at Aris with sunken eyes and continued.
“You don’t have to worry about Raon. From now on, I will take all the ill will towards Sieghart.”
“hmm… .”
Aris only pursed her lips, but couldn’t say anything.
“You said the right thing, why are you so surprised?”
Glenn let out an airy laugh and rested his chin on his fist.
‘okay. That’s right.’
In the days when it was encroached on by magic, all the rules and regulations were established with just force.
If they resisted, they cut their throats; if they refused, they pushed anything away. Since he lived as a demon ruled by power, it is only natural that the evil deeds of that time would return as blades.
However, the only person whose malice is directed must be me. I didn’t want to harm Raon and the other children anymore.
“Something… .”
Aris relaxed her expression and looked at Glenn.
“You have changed.”
“Is it different?”
“yes. I think she died before Sylvia was born.”
She smiled lightly, saying that it reminded her of a past that she couldn’t even remember because it was so long ago.
“It is an illusion.”
Glenn shook his hand, saying it wasn’t like that.
“No, that’s right.”
Aris jerked her head up.
“Because if my father had been in the past, he would have yelled at me to leave instead of admitting to what I just said.”
“… … .”
Glenn didn’t answer those words and buried his back in the throne.
‘I guess so.’
When I was locked in darkness, I didn’t listen to anyone’s advice, I just looked ahead and moved on. He gained a lot, but also lost a lot.
profit.
The father and daughter were looking at each other for a moment when the door to the audience room opened and Loen entered.
“I came to tell you.”
Rowen bowed his head to Glenn and stood next to Aris.
“Did you give it to Raon?”
Glenn asked the most important part first.
“yes. I gave it to Raon.”
Ron laughed as if it were natural.
“Chemm! Good work.”
Glenn curled up his lips in satisfaction and nodded slightly.
“Hmm, I guess I know who changed my father.”
Aris looked up at Glenn and smiled lightly.
“father. I don’t think there is such a thing as late. Let’s do it and regret it.”
She clenched her fists as she spat out words that captured her personality.
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“You know everything!”
Aris narrowed her eyes as if reading Glenn’s thoughts.
“Worry short, act quickly. You know?”
“… … .”
“I’m fine then.”
“Aris.”
Glenn frowned as she shook her hand and left the throne room.
“If you run away and follow Raon, your pirate game will be over.”
“Ugh!”
Aris turned her trembling head and smiled awkwardly.
“You noticed too quickly… .”
* * *
“It’s neat.”
Rimer whistled as he entered the dining room.
“I see. The food smells good too.”
Dorian sniffed and laughed.
“It’s because they use good butter. It looks like something was mixed with the milk… .”
Yua also blinked quickly as if interested in the food in the restaurant.
“Let’s sit down for now.”
Raon sighed as he seated the three people, who each spoke only of their own words.
All of them had strong personalities, so if you let them talk, there would be no end to it.
“Eh, being homeless is really bad.”
Rimer rubbed his right shoulder with his left hand and clicked his tongue.
“Today, let’s find a lodging in this town.”
“What are you trying to do with just two days?”
Raon shook his head as he sat down on the other side of Rimer.
“Dorian’s tent and sleeping bag are as good as luxury accommodations.”
“Yes?”
The praised Dorian grinned wide with his eyes wide open.
“okay. Thanks to you, I slept well yesterday.”
Dorian took out the finished tent from the boat’s pouch without needing to install it, and set up a fire pit for cooking.
To be honest, it was more comfortable and better than most luxury inns.
“It is a necessity.”
Dorian shook his hand as if it was nothing. Tents and fires are really essentials for travel, but it was still strange to see a completed tent or firepit popping out right away.
“Then, think about lodging later, and order first. what would you like Because I have a lot of money. Shall we do it all?”
Rimer opened the menu brought by the clerk and smacked his lips. He already considered the money he received from Glenn as his own.
“I like this meat pie and pizza.”
Yoo-ah ordered a dish that was not so distinctive, saying that a universal menu would help you know the chef’s skills.
“What I have in my pocket is enough… .”
Dorian came to the restaurant and took out the forks and nightstands used for outdoor dining and placed them on the table.
“… … .”
The clerk started looking at him like a madman.
“after… .”
Raon also touched his temples as he watched the three of them talking only to each other.
‘I’m tired… .’
As I let out a sigh, thinking I was out of my mind, a blue cotton candy popped out of the ice flower bracelet.
-Why are you standing still! Make you cook quickly too!
‘I don’t have anything I want to eat.’
-I don’t care about your muzzle! The main king wants to eat it! Order everything on the menu!
Lars held out a round hand to order all the food.
‘I can’t even eat it all.’
– You know! The original king should eat what he wants to eat, and his intuition will be solved!
‘Be quiet before eating nadinppang at the restaurant.’
– Suck!
As soon as the name Nadinpan was mentioned, he shut his mouth tightly.
– Nope, I’m going to kill you. I will definitely kill you!
A cursed sound flowed from Lars’ tightly closed lips. The maker of Nadine Bread in Sepia seemed obvious.
“Lord.”
Raon called for Rimer, who finished the order first.
“Is the maker of Nadine Bread really an elf?”
“Can’t you believe it?
Rimer handed the menu to Dorian and nodded.
“It’s surprising that the food of the elves has spread to the human world, but it’s the Nadine bread that’s the most amazing.”
“Actually, there are circumstances.”
“circumstances?”
“The guy who made Nadine’s bread made it for his own sake.”
He laughed, saying he was a pretty funny guy.
“What does that mean… .”
As I was about to ask Rimer a second question, I heard my name in the voices of the people at the table next to me.
“Did you hear the rumor that Raon Sieghart has risen to the rank of Grand Master?”
“uh? I heard that he was called the dragon slayer after catching the light dragon Kaibar, but what kind of grand master is he suddenly?”
When Raon turned his head slightly, two middle-aged men dressed as mercenaries were talking while emptying their beer glasses.
“Tsk tsk, the news is slow. That’s a thing of the past!”
The bald mercenary clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“You know the Rakion family, right?”
“You’re Sieghart’s vassal who uses a long sword amazingly.”
The goatee-bearded mercenary put down his beer mug and blinked.
“okay. That proud family joined hands with Seonggeomyeon and was preparing to betray Sieghart… .
The bald mercenary knew where he got the information and everything that had happened in the Rakion family.
However, his name did not come out, probably because the story about the sword demon had not spread yet.
“It’s surprising that he fell into a trance on the battlefield, but did he really break the wall and become a grandmaster? I honestly can’t believe it… .”
The goatee mercenary let out a fuss, shaking the hand holding the glass.
“Whether you believe it or not, Raon Sieghart’s rise to Grand Master is real. Rumors are spreading!”
“How old is Raon Sieghart now?”
“You must be 21?”
“Even if I became a Master at the age of 21, I would be the youngest ever. Grand Master at the age of 21? I don’t think it’s the same person… .”
“The greatest talent in the history of the continent. You have great chivalry there. I heard that there is a book about what happened in the past, but I’m not even jealous anymore.”
“I heard that your face is amazing too, what did you say?”
“The world is filthy unfair. Just have a drink!”
The mercenaries raised their beer glasses again and said let’s have a drink.
“hmm… .”
Raon looked away from the mercenaries and smacked his lips.
‘Something strange.’
It wasn’t even Sieghart’s territory, but it was new to me that people I didn’t know were talking about me as a snack.
I didn’t feel much when other people told me that I had become famous, but when I listened to the conversations of those mercenaries, the story of being famous touched my skin.
“Isn’t it fun?”
Rimer grinned as he drank the first beer.
“Being strong is also about becoming famous. Now your name has spread beyond Sieghart to the entire continent. No matter what you do, people pay attention. That is fame.”
He snapped his finger, saying that they would be together for the rest of their lives. As I said, my name was popping up at other tables.
“You have a better reputation than anyone else in Sieghart. Because it’s a good thing. Be proud.”
Rimer laughed, enjoying the moment.
“IM jealous… .”
Dorian scratched his belly sac and opened his mouth.
“Someone wants to know their name, but they don’t know!”
He sighed, saying that he should take the master quickly.
“You can do it!”
Yua smiled brightly as always and gave courage with a lively voice.
– No… .
Lars moved around the table, frowning.
-These damn human bastards! Don’t be a child like this, but uphold the original king!
He screamed in anger as if his name had not been called.
– It can’t be! Advent properly once more and spread the fear of the original king to all humans on this land… .
“The food is out.”
-let’s eat!
Lars frowned, but as soon as the clerk brought the food, he smiled broadly and waggled his tail.
‘Fear is bullshit… .’
* * *
Raon raised his gaze in front of the blue world. Everything in front of his eyes glows green.
Trees that seemed to beckon toward the sky, and even the bushes and grass that filled the spaces between them. I could see why this place is called Daesoorim.
“Wow.”
The infant exclaimed while examining the panoramic view of the Great Forest.
“Is this Sepia?”
“This forest is a Great Forest, and Sepia is in the back.”
Rimmer stroked the infant’s head and drew a subtle smile.
After hearing Rimer’s words, Raon released his feelings into the forest. However, the concentration of mana inside was so thick that it was not easy to control the aura.
‘It’s coming, but I can’t really feel it.’
I thought there would be a truce or barrier hidden inside the Great Forest, but it didn’t look much different from an ordinary forest.
“Isn’t there such a thing as a barrier?”
“there is.”
Rimer shook his head.
“Um, I can’t feel anything… .”
“It’s a natural labyrinth.”
“A natural labyrinth?”
“okay. There are few elves, but they can communicate with nature.”
He laughed, saying that the forest itself was the elves’ wall and snow.
“Is it possible, Lord?”
Dorian tilted his head at Rimmer.
“of course!”
“But why have I never seen anything like that before?”
“uh? hmm. I forgot.”
Rimer laughed, saying that he had forgotten that he was an elf until now.
“really… .”
Raon sighed as he saw Rimer scratching the back of his head.
-Are you really allowed to trust those ears and go in?
Lars frowned as if he was concerned.
‘I’m a bit confused now… .’
However, since I came this far, I had no choice. I had to follow that crazy elf.
“Anyway, let’s go in.”
As Rimer smiled and stretched out his hand, the bush parted and the path opened naturally.
“Wow! Dae-lord, you really are an elf!”
The infant jumped up and down as if it were strange.
“I thought I was just a person with long ears!”
“Because I am an elf. Have you ever seen such a handsome man!”
“This is Raon.”
“Keuk… .”
Rimmer couldn’t resist the infant’s bold answer and went deep into the forest.
Whoaaaaa!
Following his gesture, the jungle, which had been thick with bushes and trees that was difficult for a child to enter, opened up a space for people to pass through. For the first time, Rimmer looked like an elf.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the rustling bushes and trees.
‘It’s not due to mana.’
It seemed that this forest did not recognize Rimer’s mana, but sensed the existence of an elf named Rimer and opened the way.
As I walked for a while observing the new yet mysterious sight, I felt a small presence in front of me.
It sounded like the sound of a small animal passing by or a brush brushing by the wind, but the scent of mana was stronger than that. It was the presence of an elf like Rimer.
“It’s finally out.”
Rimer, too, must have sensed the presence of the elves, and stopped to stare at the thick thorny vines that did not open.
“Don’t go any further.”
From within the thorny vine came a woman’s voice, completely emotionless.
“No outsiders are allowed to come in now. Please go back.”
In a voice like the wind of the North Sea, she expressed her intention to attack if approached.
-Why don’t all the ears have a cheap look!
Lars glared at the inside of the vine and gnashed his teeth.
-If you block the way of the main king, cut your throat right away!
‘Would that be?’
-Then, at least do what you are good at!
He shouted to burn down this forest, perhaps because of Rimer’s hatred for elves.
“You guys don’t know me?”
Rimmer waved lightly and moved toward the thorny vine.
“I am… .”
As he tried to walk further, an arrow flew from among the thorns and stuck to the ground.
Pii profit!
The arrows embedded in the floor vibrated violently to see how strong the power was.
“Ugh… .”
Rimer gulped down a dry spit when he saw the arrow stuck in the floor.
“You don’t know me.”
He smiled awkwardly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“Do not approach. It looks like a foreign-born kin, but if it weren’t for the kin, the arrow would have been stuck in the neck right now.”
A more frozen voice came from behind the thorns.
“Well, since a long time has passed, the Guardians must have changed too. I am not an outsider. I was born in Sepia.”
Rimer shook his head and took a step forward.
“Don’t lie. The people born in Sepia couldn’t have known how important this time was… .”
“If you don’t know me, you know this sword, right?”
He interrupted the female elf and struck the sword she was wearing at her waist.
“… … .”
A moment of silence ensued in the bushes. and.
Phew!
The arrow, faster than the first and with more bloody momentum, grazed Rimer’s ear lobe.
“He is a deodorant of sacred things! Attack everyone!”
With the eerie voice of the female elf, dozens of arrows came out of the thorny vines at the same time.
“Aaaaaaagh!”
Rimer freaked out and stepped back.
“I knew it would be like this.”
Raon gnashed his teeth as he stood in front of Rimer.
“What the hell are you doing!”
