Episode 116
Raon has lost his appetite.
‘You got it right.’
After acquiring the Requiem Sword, I realized that the way to use the Yogi was a little different than when using the Auror.
It wasn’t difficult to use the yogi as the Requiem Sword showed the way, but there was one more power that he couldn’t use properly.
It’s just the freezing cold.
With the swordsmanship of the cartoonist, he was able to bring out the best of the fire attribute auror, but the cold of the cold had not yet mastered the ability to deal with only the auror.
He felt it when fighting the ghoul, but he could not perfectly handle the cold of the cold. Even if I tried to imitate the manga artist’s swordsmanship, soft swordsmanship, or Runan, it just felt awkward.
‘I need a way to deal with the cold.’
The one who best handles the cold in the world is the wrath lord, who lives on his own forearm.
However, there is no way Lars can teach you how to use the cold.
He was bound to make strange demands, such as asking him to be angry, kneeling down, or filling the bathtub with mint chocolate.
‘So we had to do some preliminary work.’
As we got closer with Requiem Sword, talked more and sympathized with each other, Lars was restless because he wanted to be in the middle.
As two weeks passed, he felt alienated and insecure, eventually approached him first and asked for the bait.
He presented the best treasure he could give, how to use the cold. But Raon’s reaction was blunt.
‘Now is not the time to lift the fishing rod.’
Lars is a hogu, but he’s not stupid. If he gave an immediate answer here and showed interest, he would doubt the situation and overturn the saying that he taught him coolness.
‘I need a little more steam.’
Even when catching powerful fish, if you lift the fishing rod immediately, the rod breaks or the fishing line breaks.

Now was the time to release the strength of the meat by swinging to both sides.
‘How to use cold?’
Raon asked without moving, as if he had no interest.
– That’s right. From the lord’s point of view, you don’t understand the chill properly.
‘Hmm… .’
-You would know that you are lacking in abilities like yours, right?
‘Certainly, there are more problems than when using the cartoonist’s Auror.’
-right! With a little help from the main king, you will be able to use the cold air that is superior to any other human. Because there is not one way to use cold!
The tone of Lars’ voice rose, and his words became faster. As if someone is chasing you from behind.
‘But can you use cold well? What I saw was aww! It’s just screaming and blowing out cold air?’
-Well, that’s because the main king doesn’t have a body! If I had a body, I would have shown more detailed operation!
‘Well, it’s not bad… .’
Raon turned his head slightly. Lars was looking at himself, curled up like cotton candy.
– Think carefully. How long do you think you can hide the cold? In the end, the information will be revealed to everyone, so it would be good for you to learn how to use it properly.
‘That’s not true.’
-When the main king was in the demon realm, many demons came to him and begged him to teach him how to use the cold, but he did not tell anyone the secret. A heavenly opportunity has come to you… .
‘Because the words are long. I’m sleepy again.’
Raon turned his head and raised the blanket up to his neck.
– Ouch!
‘I’ll be fine for now. We’ll talk later.’
I closed my eyes as if it didn’t matter.
-Raon Sieghard! You’re missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime! The real king’s use of cold is an art that cannot be learned even if you give it a thousand gold or risk your life! If not now… .
‘Ahh. sleep.’
Pushing away the endless chatter of Lars, he smiled softly.
‘I’ll learn it soon.’
The fact that Lars came out like that was proof that he was insecure. Sooner or later, he will teach you how to use cold air with all his heart.
Raon lightly tapped the Requiem Sword to signify that she had done well so far, and the Requiem Sword trembled slightly as if she understood its meaning.
* * *
Raon looked up at the old, yellow wall that was full of bloodstains like a spotted puppy and took a deep breath.
It is full of the smell of burning corpses, the smell of blood, and the stench of beasts. It was an environment where even a person with a strong stomach could get nauseated.
“Shut up!”
Dorian grabbed the charred wall and began to vomit. Raon patted him on the back and looked up at the wall again.
“Is this an adult habun… .”
Just by smelling the castle walls full of traces of battle and the unquenched battlefield, I could tell what kind of place this place was and what the situation was.
It was literally a hell of an endless battle.
– Whoa! It is the air of the battlefield that makes you feel that the main king is alive!
Lars took a deep breath to see if he liked the incense of blood and the rotten me of the corpse.
“Oh, Mom. The ungodly go first! I, I have a family… .”
“Calm down.”
When I stood in front of the gate with Dorian, who was half-dying, the head of a young man in his late twenties suddenly appeared from above the wall. His short purple hair and cold eyes were impressive.
“Who are you?”
“This is a mercenary who came out of support.”
Raon showed the mercenary plaque he had received from Limer.
“name is?”
“It’s Raon and Dorian.”
The man’s eyes widened when he heard the name. He seemed to know the identities of himself and Dorian.
“Open the door.”
“Open the door!”
The door of Habun Castle began to open at the direction of the man who had a position.
Upon entering, the smell of burning corpses diminished, but the bloody smell intensified. It seems that there were many fights within the castle as well.
“Raon and Dorian.”
I looked to the right at the voice calling my name.
A little while ago, a man standing on the wall was standing next to him. He wasn’t very tall, but his physique was solid, and he was wearing a thick sword around his waist.
“You are a little later than the scheduled time.”
As expected, he knew he was a trainee from Sieghard.
“Is that okay?”
The man looked at Dorian, drooping like a frog with legs, and narrowed his eyes.
“It happens all the time, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Raon glanced at Dorian and nodded.
“It’s Terian. From now on, I will call you Vice Commander.”
“Yes.”
“Follow me.”
“All right.”
“Ouch… .”
I grabbed Dorian’s neck, his legs loose, and followed Terian’s back. Upon entering the five-story building in the center of the castle, knights, swordsmen, and soldiers were busy moving.
‘Your eyes are different.’
The force itself was lacking compared to the Sieghart swordsmen, but the eyes looking at this side had strong strength.
The momentum of fierce warriors who have crossed countless deadly lines. Looking at them, I was able to realize once again that this place is now in the middle of the battlefield.
“This is it.”
Follow Terian up the old stairs. When we arrived on the 5th floor, we saw a thick door made of black wood.
“The mercenaries from there have come.”
“Come in.”
As Terian knocked and spoke of his purpose, a heavy voice was heard from within.
profit!
The old door opened with a harsh sound as if the hinges were twisted.
The room was spacious, but the inside was simple enough to make you think it was empty. Except for the bookshelves full of maps and books around Habun Castle, it feels like entering the room of ordinary soldiers rather than the commander’s office.
oh oh oh!
An old man with gray hair stood up from the yellowish desk. Although he was small, the power and momentum in his eyes was immense. My fingertips trembled at the overwhelming presence of facing a giant.
‘This man is Milland Brydon.’
Called the giant of the north, this little old man was the guardian of Habun Castle, who had been defending this old and worn out castle for over 20 years.
– It’s the eyes of a true longevity that I haven’t seen in a long time.
‘Did you feel it too?’
-Yes. These are the eyes that only those who have dug a well for decades can have. .
‘okay.’
– Listen! Don’t ignore the king!
Lars’ words got long, so he ignored it and turned his head.
“Raon Sieghard. Am I right?”
Milland’s voice was so husky that it was thought that his throat had been cracked. It looked more like a neck injury than it was originally.
“Yes.”
“No, that’s right.”
Raon replied calmly, and Dorian smirked.
“Only me and the father-in-law know who you are in this castle.”
Milland nodded and pointed to Terian, who was standing to the left. The father-in-law seemed to be Milland’s son.
“I know why Limer sent you here. You must have had a lot of experience and wanted to come back. But there is no training or education here.”
Milland’s voice had a firm conviction in it. Dry saliva gulps down at the sound of the giant who has guarded this castle all his life.
“There are no friendly instructors, no warm meals and no bed. All that is left is the cold wind that seeps to my bones and the endless fighting. If you want a comfortable life, go back now.”
“Ji, you can really go back… town!”
“It doesn’t matter. We are here to be strong. We will accept any battlefield and situation.”
Raon covered Dorian’s mouth, who was about to give up immediately, and came forward.
“I like your eyes.”
Contrary to what he said, Milland didn’t laugh at all.
“Don’t wait to see how long the snow will last. From now on, your status will be soldiers. Start at the bottom. Charles!”
Milland slammed his desk and screamed, and a middle-aged man with a long beard came in.
“Did you call?”
“These two. Send it to the third reconnaissance unit.”
“It’s a shame to put mercenaries into a scouting squad.”
“I’m going to try something like this.”
“All right. Come this way.”
Raon followed a man named Charles with Dorian, who had been standing blankly as if he had fainted.
Koo!
The heavy door closed, leaving only Milland and Terian in the commander’s office.
“It was pathetic.”
Terian frowned as if he didn’t like it.
“What do you mean?”
“Have you not seen it? A guy named Raon was relaxed as if he had come to play, and Dorian was terrified and his body relaxed. They will only cause problems, not help.”
“Well… .”
“Both of them are just flirtatious, so they only hang swords, and Raon even wears a flower bracelet on his wrist. It’s not a warrior’s mindset. Please return it now. If you look after them, only the soldiers will get hurt.”
“You don’t seem to like it.”
Milland smiled softly as she saw Terian’s face flushed red.
“I can’t help but think that we look down on this castle that we risk our lives for.”
“It could be. but… .”
Milland’s eyes grew even heavier.
“You shouldn’t judge people based on their outward appearance. The two have passed Sieghard’s training, which is notorious for being difficult, and now they are facing their final exam. They’re not as stupid as they seem.”
“That would be it.”
Terian nodded, his mouth puckered as if he was still dissatisfied.
“It is not too late to make a judgment after watching the two of them. You don’t have to have preconceived notions.”
“All right.”
“By the way… .”
Milland sighed and pulled a letter out of the desk drawer.
“I don’t see why you’re asking me to give you information about these two guys every two weeks.”
“It must be because I’m worried about the power of Sieghard, whom I raised dearly.”
“This can be happen. But this is not from Limerna, the 5th gym.”
“Yes?”
“This is a letter from Sieghard Gajujeon. They asked me to tell you all about what they do and how they move.”
“If it’s Gajujeon, what about wealth, the King of Bukchul?”
“okay. It’s the first time he’s ever made such a request, so I don’t know why. It’s also supposed to be described in detail, so it’s good.”
“her! what’s really going on… .”
The door opened with a light knock as the two were thinking about Glenn’s intentions.
“No. 3 Recon Captain Radin. At the commander’s call, I ran without eating!”
A man in his 30s, dressed in a snowy white robe, came in and saluted.
“There’s nothing to be said for appealing like that.”
“haha.”
The man who called himself Ladin scratched the back of his head.
“So what’s going on?”
“I sent two new recruits to Recon No. 3.”
“Oh, how do you know that your hands aren’t enough?”
“You don’t have to like it that much. I might send you somewhere else soon.”
“These words are meant to be sent after all. Oh, that’s good.”
“They are the soldiers who will become our strength anyway. Educate yourself so that you don’t die.”
“Then we should start scouting right away. Practical training is the most reliable education.”
Radin smiled and nodded.
“Recently, the behavior of the monsters is unusual. They often go out of bounds, so be careful.”
“I’m the third scout commander. Believe it!”
He put his hand on his forehead again and left the room.
“I’m leaving right away, are you okay?”
“It will be fine. I don’t know about that coward named Dorian, but the guy named Raon… .”
Milland patted the desk and chuckled.
“It wasn’t normal.”
* * *
Raon and Dorian were guided by a prosecutor named Charles and arrived at the reconnaissance unit’s dormitory. There were many rooms, so it was a double room where Dorian and I could stay together.
“Ugh!”
Dorian still couldn’t get used to the bloody smell and shook his hand.
“Wow, it seems more dangerous than I thought here? What corpses build mountains!”
“Calm down.”
“You saw the master too. The smell of blood and the smell of corpses. Not only monsters, but there were also many dead people!”
“You always say When you are anxious and have a hard time, you have to be calm. Even if you don’t die, it’s dangerous.”
“Ugh!”
Dorian covered his mouth and exhaled slowly through his nose.
“First, unpack. I think I will be here for a while.”
“Yes… .”
He wiped away the tears that came out and put down the mat on the bed.
He took out a soft mat and a warm blanket from his stomach pocket, laid it on the bed, and hung a light blue cloth next to it.
“Do you even decorate?”
“The atmosphere is so gloomy. Just like going to a funeral. But no matter what I do, I feel bad.”
He looked at the cloth and sighed.
“Do you have a golden cloth in it?”
“Absolutely.”
Dorian nodded and pulled out a golden cloth.
“green.”
Shhh.
“blue.”
chuck.
“pink.”
good.
As soon as I said the color, I pulled out a fabric that matched it. He’s a guy with an astonishing readiness.
“Your master, put this on and go to sleep. If you sleep on a bed like that, your back will go out.”
Dorian sighed and took out a mat and a blanket to himself as well.
“Thank you.”
As I nodded and tried to make the bed, the door opened with a thud.
“Recruiters. Have you finished cleaning up?”
A man in his early to mid 30s, dressed in pure white, entered the room and smiled.
“I am Rabin, the captain of the 3rd Recon squad to which you belong.”
“My name is Raon.”
“Hey, I’m Dorian… .”
Raon calmly and Dorian lowered his head with trembling lips.
“The faces are nice. By the way, where were those mats and blankets?”
“Hey, did I bring it?”
“her… .”
When Dorian raised his hand, Radin tilted his head and muttered that it was the first time he had ever seen such a human.
“Anyway, clean up later and put on your coat first.”
“Yes?”
“The dispatch order has been issued.”
Radin smiled and threw the white snowsuit he had brought.
“Today, you will be testing your scouting skills, your judgment and your senses to see if you can survive the scouts in the future.”
As if to scare him, he said that he would die soon if he lacked any one of the three.
“Hey!”
Dorian screamed in fright, but Raon was different. He smiled softly and raised his head.
“Did you say that you see reconnaissance and senses now?”
It was something I was more confident than anyone else in this Habun Castle.
