Chapter 607
Raon followed Glenn into an empty lot near the entrance of Mt. Bukmang.
Glenn was standing in the middle of the clearing, looking up at Mt. Bukmang in silence. His shoulders seemed to sway gently in the moonlight, no matter what he was thinking.
“My lord.”
Raon called out to Glenn first and moved forward.
“What do you mean I didn’t give you anything?”
Glenn not only took care of the gold plate, but also the artifact and the elixir. She’s got all she deserves, and she’s not quite sure what she’s lacking.
“Kuhm!”
Glenn cleared his throat and turned around. There was a coldness like the night wind in her red eyes.
“You didn’t stop at saving the elves, didn’t you even get the ledger to save the elves that had already been auctioned off? This will be of great help in maintaining a good relationship with Sepia in the future. You’ve done too much to be limited to artifacts and elixirs.”
“hmm… .”
To be honest, I think saving an elf and obtaining a ledger are the same thing, but there was no reason to refuse an additional award.
-Damn it!
Lars jumped forward, rocking his plump stomach.
-Why are you taking care of me like this! That old man’s face is cold, but the inside is as soft as cotton wool!
The boy frowned, saying that only his face was ferocious.
‘If you’ve eaten well, stay still.’
– I don’t want to stay still… .
‘Doesn’t he hate eating ice cream?’
– Suck!
Raon pushed the belly of Lars, who was tightly shut, and looked at Glenn.
“How far did you learn the speargun sword?”
“I even learned to eat 4 seconds. Of course it’s not perfect.”
Thanks to the group that I realized while dealing with Red Yeomgwi and Siran, I was able to cast the speargun sword 4 Chosik.
However, it has not yet reached the stage of fully unfolding the sword.
“As expected.”
Glenn nodded lightly as if he knew that.
“Come here at this time starting tomorrow.”
“yes?”
“I will help you practice for the next two weeks.”
He closed his eyes, offering to teach me for two weeks as a reward for the work he had done.
When Raon heard that, his eyes widened.
‘This is a greater reward than the Elixir.’
The eyes of a master and the eyes of a grand master are completely different. As you rise to Grand Master, you will be able to accept Glenn’s teachings in more detail as your scope of enlightenment has expanded. It was like a delay.
“thank you.”
Raon, with sincerity, bowed his head to Glenn.
“Curham!”
Glenn cleared his throat and shook his head.
“No need to thank. It’s just a reward for what you’ve done.”
“Even so, I think the teachings given by the head of the household are more rewarding than the achievements I have achieved. Thank you.”
“done.”
He shook his hand as if no further words were needed.
“Time is running out, so let’s start quickly.”
“All right.”
Raon raised his head and headed towards the center of the clearing.
“Still, you’ve got your posture. That’s why he brought his sword every time he called.”
“As a prosecutor, it is natural.”
When I said the word “as a swordsman”, a small echo rose inside.
‘Inspect… .’
Now, without thinking, I can call myself a swordsman naturally. It felt like the darkness of my previous life as an assassin had been erased a little more.
“Expand all the swordsmanship you are learning.”
“yes.”
After answering calmly, he pulled out the Jecheon Sword. After setting his sword at the top, he shot it down vertically. The wind on the blade cut through the cool night air and drew a line thinner than hair on the ground in the clearing.
Following the basic swordsmanship, he performed mad sword, seolpoong sword, cartoonist’s swordsmanship, and self-made swordsmanship, then held the Jecheon sword with both hands.
‘Now, the last speargun sword.’
The magnificent aura of Hadanjeon contained the firmness of Midjeonjeon and stretched out toward the sky. The four blades of the speargun were drawn in succession, drawing red and blue flashes in the dark night sky. A majestic view stretched out, like a comet rising upside down.
“hmm.”
Glenn nodded, his complexion unchanged from his first cold expression.
“It’s a little bit, but it has improved. I can feel the determination that you said before that you will never break.”
Even after becoming a Grand Master from Master, it’s absurd to say that he’s improved a bit. But since it was Glenn who said it, I had to admit it.
“thank you.”
“but.”
Glenn’s eyes grew colder.
“I can see the limits of the sky you contain.”
“Limit… .”
“Your goal is visible in my eyes. Don’t aim for martial arts or learning, draw the sky you want.”
As he said that, he took a step closer.
“What is the sky that comes to mind when you draw a longbow sword?”
“that… .”
Raon couldn’t answer right away and smacked his lips.
“Don’t hesitate, tell me.”
“… I am the head of the household.”
“hmm?”
Glenn’s eyes widened as if he hadn’t expected his name to come up.
“When the head of the household unfurls the speargun sword. No, when I was kidnapped, I made the swordsmanship I showed against the White Blood Cult Master and Tacheon my heaven.”
He told me that he was thinking of Glenn as the sky of the longbow. Speaking in front of the person in question, I was a little embarrassed.
“Khuhum!”
Glenn hastily turned his back. He had his earlobes dyed red like persimmons.
“Then there is nothing you can do.”
“yes?”
“Don’t change your goal and go a little further.”
“I told you to change a little while ago… .”
“Ugh! It’s still too early for you to think of infinity! Swing your sword quickly!”
“… All right.”
Raon tilted his head and raised his jecheon sword.
‘The head of the household is also moody.’
-It’s because it’s menopausal.
Lars nodded, saying he understood.
* * *
On top of Tiger Rock on the middle of Mt. Bukmang.
With black bruises in both eyes, Rimmer, who had become a panda itself, clicked his tongue briefly.
“I will stab the sky with the corner of my mouth.”
Glenn’s mouth was curled up so long that it was not a smile, but a madman. She wasn’t kidding, her mouth really seemed to be hanging over her ears.
“Well, it’s not that I don’t understand that feeling.”
Hearing that he was the heaven of his grandson whom he cherished, it was understandable that he was so happy.
“however… .”
Rimer frowned as he watched the corner of Glenn’s mouth rise higher and higher.
“Why are you teaching yourself? Give me your own room!”
The room of ego is a legacy left by the first head of household, and is a special space where warriors can communicate with their souls. If it was Raon, he would surely be able to come out after gaining enlightenment, but I don’t know why he is teaching directly.
“Heh heh heh.”
Loen, who was standing on a rock, smiled lightly.
“It sounds like you want to teach yourself.”
He laughed at Glenn, who turned his back and gave Raon advice with only his voice.
“He wants to spend time with Master Raon.”
“Then give me some tea. Tea!”
Rimmer shook his fist vigorously. Even now, Glenn was smiling with her back turned. Just showing that smile to Raon would solve everything, but I couldn’t understand why he was doing that alone.
“On top of that, you only have one month to be in your ego’s room. Perhaps by the time winter comes, he will open up his chambers.”
“You want to make the most of your time.”
Rimer nodded, looking at Raon, who did not let go of the sword even though he was sweating.
‘Certainly that would be better.’
The more you grow and enter the room of your ego, the better it will be.
Entering the room of ego does not mean that one can achieve the growth of martial arts unconditionally, but most of them come out with a small realization. The stronger you become, the more you can gain, so it was a good way to grow and send them off.
“however… .”
Loen looked at Rimmer with a thin smile.
“Rimer-nim seems to have made a decision.”
“You are also a ghost.”
Rimer nodded, grabbing his empty right shoulder.
“I wanted to set up a gambling hall to play and eat, but seeing Raon, my heart doesn’t get cold.”
He laughed as he tapped the sword at his waist.
“This life is ruined anyway. I intend to write to Raon and his children.”
Rimer looked at the moon above Raon’s head and kept his mouth shut.
“I wish I could too.”
Rowen smiled and stood next to Rimer.
The two looked at Raon and Glenn’s training for a long time without saying a word.
* * *
Raon left the room at dawn before the sun rose.
– Aaaaaang!
Lars yawned with a tear in his mouth and rolled his eyes.
-Hey you crazy bastard! Where the hell is that idiot who trains all night and goes out at dawn!
He patted me on the shoulder to get some sleep.
‘I don’t have much time.’
Even if you train for years from the grand master, you may not be able to get out of your current position. When you have a chance, you should do your best to swing your sword.
-You will not die fighting, you will die while training!
‘Is that a bit happy?’
– Aaaaaaaagh! piss off! When I really see you… hmm?
Lars sniffed without getting angry.
-Hey, look over there!
He pointed to the tray on the table in front of the front door and shook his hand.
-It smells delicious! Open the lid of the tray!
‘hmm… .’
When I opened the silver lid covering the tray, there was a piece of toast with ham, eggs, and cheese on it.
– Big! After all, home is the best! mom!
Lars shouted at Sylvia while looking at the toast that hadn’t cooled down yet.
‘This is not what my mother did.’
-then?
‘It’s Judyel.’
Sylvia’s toast has eggs and vegetables, and Judiel’s toast has eggs, ham, and cheese. This toast was Judiel’s skill.
‘Now you know me well.’
It seemed that he had toasted with the expectation that he would go to training right away.
-It’s hard to grow up, and you’re quick to notice. I like it!
Lars nodded, saying he was a good kid.
‘I see.’
Raon smiled and grabbed the toast and took a bite.
-You baked it all the way to the inside! okay! Bread should be like this! Nadine bread is not bread!
Lars sniffed as if moved by the taste of the toast.
‘I know. It’s fine.’
It’s a simple dish, but it showed a lot of effort.
I looked in the direction where Judyel’s dorm was and muttered thank you before leaving the annex.
I immediately went to the 5th gymnasium and opened the door, but contrary to expectations, the passengers had already arrived.
“It’s gone.”
Martha frowned, crossing her arms.
“If it was like before, I would have come an hour ago and already wield the sword.”
She snorted, asking if she had become lazy.
“I know. It’s time to tell us we’re late.”
Burren nodded with a light smile.
“Coo… .”
Runan sat down and nodded his head. She seemed to be dozing.
“I had another accident.”
Martha looked up and down at Raon and narrowed her eyes.
“How did you save the country of elves?”
“That’s not all, I heard some spirit king’s older brother.”
Burren let out a fuss as if he was dumbfounded even as he said it himself.
“Kuuuuu… .”
Runan was still dozing.
“I was lucky in many ways.”
Raon looked at the three of them and shrugged.
“What’s his luck!”
Martha shook her head, telling her not to rhyme.
“Really. I couldn’t win alone.”
If it wasn’t for Shiyan’s help, he would have been killed by the Red Flame Ghost, so it wasn’t a lie.
“Are those masked guys again?”
Martha clenched her fists as she remembered Eden.
“By the way, have you become stronger again?”
Burren looked up and down Raon and tilted his head.
“Something has changed… .”
“I ate the fruit of the World Tree.”
“Three, the fruit of the world tree?”
“You’re crazy. Do you really eat all the elixir called the Continental Elixir?”
Martha narrowed her eyes, saying it was ridiculous.
“I was curious about that, is it delicious?”
Burren licked his lips, wondering if he was curious about the taste of the fruit of the World Tree.
“To be honest.”
Raon recalled the taste of the fruit of the World Tree and lowered his eyes.
“It tastes like nadine bread.”
“dog sound!”
Martha shook her head.
“Does that make sense?”
“I don’t believe it either. There’s no way the fruit of the World Tree tastes like nadin bread.”
Even Burren frowned in disapproval.
“Kuuuuu!”
Runaan shook his head, saying that doesn’t make sense even as he fell asleep.
“It’s true… .”
It’s true, but I gave up on explaining it because I didn’t think you would believe it from the look on my face.
– It’s only natural that those guys can’t accept it.
Lars nodded calmly.
-I still can’t believe the king who ate it himself, but would you believe them! How could the world tree be a rubber tree! This is a billion!
With his eyes wide open for the first time in a long time, he shouted that he would burn the World Tree.
Raon kicked Lars away and looked at Burren, Martha, and Runan.
“The world tree is done, what are you guys doing at this time?”
“What is it? I am practicing at this time every day.”
Martha shook her head as if to say something.
“that’s right. I have been practicing at this time every day since you left.”
Burren also laughed, saying that training at this time has become a daily routine.
“Khuhu… .”
As if receiving those words, Runan let out a deep breath.
“hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Burren, Martha, and Runan in turn.
‘Certainly, everyone has grown up.’
Although it wasn’t a rapid growth like himself after eating the fruit of the World Tree, he felt a higher rank than before. He seemed to have practiced hard while he was in Seipia.
“In the evening, Hyeonmujeonju helped me practice. I learned a lot there too.”
“Denier-sama?”
“okay. My father comes every day, and my aunt is helping as well.”
Marta showed an uncharacteristically bright smile, saying that the time to learn from Aris was too precious.
“It’s like a surprise.”
“hmm… .”
Raon touched his chin, thinking of Denier.
‘Denier… .’
Unlike Aris, Karun, and Balder, Denier was a difficult person to understand.
‘It smells similar to Derus, but it might not.’
So far, I haven’t done anything suspicious, and I’ve never had a fight. There was still too little information to make a judgment about him.
‘just in case. Let’s do some research.’
I guess I’ll have to ask Denning Rose to gather information about Denier sooner or later.
‘But before that… .’
I have work to do.
Raon stood in front of Buren, Martha, and Runan with a cool smile.
phut.
Runaan, who was blowing a small balloon with his nose, blinked as he woke up.
“Raon.”
I think I really fell asleep until now. Her happy face was sincere.
“Let’s eat ice cream.”
The first thing he said upon seeing it was ice cream, he was still a child.
“okay.”
Raon nodded calmly.
“oh!”
-Oh oh!
Naturally, the answer came from both Runan and Lars.
“Of course not now. I’ll have a look.”
“look?”
“What you looking at?”
Not only Runan, but also Buren tilted his head.
“What do you ask? Of course you look at your skills.”
Martha stepped back and put her hand on the swordsman.
“Look at that guy’s eyes. It’s killing me! Get ready quickly!”
Her lips trembled as if she had already decided to fight Raon.
“I don’t know Raon, but we trained hard.”
Runan approached and opened her purple eyes, saying that there was no need to fight.
“Dawn training and evening training… .”
“We already said that.”
Burren sighed and shook his head.
“He’s doing that to check it out!”
He also understood what Raon meant and drew his sword.
“eww… .”
Runaan listened to the tale with a reluctant expression, but her sword radiated a chill that would freeze her even if she touched it.
Raon drew a faint smile while feeling the momentum of Marta, Buren, and Runan, who were fierce, sharp, and cool, respectively. Looking at the swordsmanship of those three, I felt the feeling of coming back home.
“Let’s check how strong you guys have become.”
He nodded and came forward.
“If you give me even one sword, I’ll give you a break right away.”
Raon snapped his finger, telling Burren, Runan, and Martha to fight.
“What if I can’t eat it?”
Runaan tilted his head.
“Then keep fighting.”
Looking at the three trembling eyes, Raon licked his lips.
“Just say that you will fight all day from the beginning!”
Burren screamed in amazement.
“If you eat one sword, it’s a break. It’s not difficult.”
Raon said it was easy and shrugged his shoulders.
“Being a Grand Master has improved not only my skills, but also my grumpiness.”
Burren sighed.
“You’re back. The demon king of training.”
Martha bit her lip and raised her sword.
“good. Let me show you that we weren’t playing either. die!”
She rushed forward and stabbed the sword, and Burren and Runan poured out sword strikes as they slashed to the left and right, respectively.
“Let’s play.”
Raon raised his lips as he watched the dazzling swordsmanship of the three captains.
“All day.”
-her… .
Lars shook his head.
-Isn’t this a real pervert?
* * *
Quaaaaaaaa!
A blue radiance rises above the black sky. A spectacle was drawn as if a huge hole had been pierced in the center of the sky.
Glenn nodded, looking at the sky as if it had fallen.
“Is this the fifth? It’s fine for this week.”
“It is thanks to the head of the household.”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn.
“As you can see, it is far from perfect. I just set the frame, so try to whip yourself up and achieve perfection.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Then let’s go.”
Glenn nodded as if he had finished his task and turned his back.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head on Glenn’s back. When I raised my head again, he was already gone.
‘You look like the wind.’
Glen really came at the appointed time, watched the training for two hours, and then left abruptly. She even felt like a ghost on her own sometimes.
‘Still, it was a rewarding time.’
I practiced with the Gwangpungdae from dawn to evening, and with Glenn from the night, I felt my skills improve rapidly. It was a worthwhile migration.
‘It’s a pity that it’s over.’
It was burdensome when I was being taught by Glenn, but when it was over, I was a little disappointed.
‘I wonder if you’ll train me if I make another gong.’
While thinking nonsense, I went back to the annex, when I heard a small sound coming from the front door. When she opened the door, Sylvia was putting toast on the table in front of the door.
“mother?”
“You came just right!”
Sylvia held out the toast she had put down on the table, saying that she had come at a good time.
“If you have trained up to this time, you should eat well!”
– After all, it’s only mom!
Lars lunged at Sylvia with both arms open.
‘Move.’
Raon kicked Lars and shook his head.
“I am eating well. You don’t have to push yourself.”
“Why is it impossible for a mother to take care of her son?”
Sylvia said it was okay and shook her head.
“thank you.”
Raon smiled lightly and received the toast. It was healthy toast with eggs and vegetables.
“Come to think of it, I can’t see Judiel these days.”
I asked while taking a bite of toast. Judiel hasn’t been seen since she gave her toast on the first day. Even though he went out at dawn and came in at dawn, it was a strange thing.
“Judyel took a vacation.”
“Are you on vacation?”
“okay. I hope you care. I asked you not to tell me I will be back next week.”
Sylvia shook her head, saying that Judyel was not in the annex.
“okay.”
Raon calmly nodded his head as if it was no big deal.
“Don’t overdo it, take good care of your health.”
Sylvia said to eat all the toast and went back to her room.
Raon put down the toast he was eating and went to Judiel’s dorm instead of his own room.
-hmm? If you’re not eating, where are you going? Didn’t that guy go on vacation!
‘Judiel is no different from my family. If you haven’t told me about your vacation, it’s not normal.’
I forcibly twisted the locked doorknob and entered.
The interior of the room was extremely untidy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the room was completely empty.
However, rather than packing up and leaving, it seemed like this was the room from the beginning.
I looked around the empty room and pulled out a piece of brown paper sticking out of an old desk drawer.
Raon’s eyes widened as he opened the paper.
“This… .”
