Chapter 176
-I have to eat dessert now, but who is bothering me!
Raon threw away the struggling Lars and went out to the lobby. An old man with fine gray hair stood there.
‘Is his name Tias?’
As one of the butlers of Jungmujeon, he was in charge of Beren, so he was a person I saw often when I was a trainee.
“Master Raon. long time no see.”
Tias lowered his head while clasping his hands.
“It is.”
Raon bowed his head. We met a lot and bowed our heads, but it was the first time we greeted each other in such a way.
“Why did you come all the way here?”
Raon asked while covering the eyes of Sylvia and the maids with their backs sticking out their faces from the dining room.
“Sorry for being late.”
Tias shook his wrinkled eyes.
“I’m really sorry, but the only person I can turn to for help right now is Master Raon.”
Raon watched Tias quietly as he bowed his head. He seemed to understand why he was doing this.
“It’s because of Burren.”
“you’re right. After the selection ceremony, Master Buren enters the annex and does not come out.”
Tias raised his head up, and the bitter emotion was revealed in his eyes.
“Even though the additional registration period for new testers closes in two days, he doesn’t think he will come out.”
He bit his dry lips as if the situation was hopeless.
“The only person who can raise Master Buren right now is Master Raon. Please help!”
Tias knelt in front of the front door without any hesitation.
“Why did you think I could cause Burren?”
“Master Burren often talks about Master Raon. He said that he was the benefactor who took me out of the well and saved my life, and promised to catch up and pay off those debts one day.”
“… … .”
The benefactor who awakened my spirit, the reward for saving my life, and the words that I will catch up. It was all Burren said every day. Surprisingly, it seems that the inside and outside were the same guy.
“Being such a Raon-sama, I am sure that I will be able to bring out Master Buren! Please!”
Tias bowed his head while kneeling.
“Don’t do this.”
Raon grabbed Tias’s trembling shoulder.
‘Help… .’
If it was a previous life, I wouldn’t have helped Tias no matter what he said. Because I thought it was something I couldn’t do. But living as Raon Sieghard, I felt a lot.
‘Destiny.’
Runan gave the treasure of cold blood to him without receiving anything in return. In the same way, Balkan used precious gold bullets and gold grain lavishly, and devoted all his energy to make a sword. It reminded me of the word they spoke of.
‘Come to think of it… .’
Before the selection ceremony, I remembered Burren giving me a thread with jewels, saying that the robe looked empty. Like the formula connected to the jewel, there must be at least one small bond of bond between him and himself.
“Whew… .”
Raon knelt down and made eye contact with Tias.
“All right. Let’s try it.”
It may not be, but I nodded my head to give the least help.
“son. Well done!”
Sylvia came up from behind and patted her on the back.
“If you can help, you should help.”
She said that she raised a son well, and smiled broadly as she looked back at the maids behind her.
“Kya!”
“As expected, Master!”
Helen and her maids clenched their fists as if asking for strength.
“Go, thank you! Thank you very much!”
Tias bowed his head in succession.
– He is a person who really likes to bow his head. I like the king’s heart.
Lars put a hand on his waist, thinking he was being greeted.
-But I can’t forgive you for interrupting dessert time!
It’s fine, but he gets angry quickly. He was a very incomprehensible character.
“Then let’s go.”
“Bar, are you going right away?”
“You have to go and come to your senses now, so it will be out by the end of the additional registration period.”
Raon raised Tias up.
“Oh, I see!”
Tias got up and went out of the annex saying he would guide him.
“I will be back.”
“Good job.”
“Bye. young master!”
Sylvia and her maids smiled proudly and nodded their heads.
– Dessert is still… .
Rasman, who was full, looked at the dining room alone and savored his taste buds.
– After all, the color of the eyes is not helpful!
* * *
Raon followed Tias to the annex of Jungmujeon, which was built under Mt. Bukmang. Because it was the annex of Jungmujeon, it was much larger than the annex he lived in.
“This is the place where the master taught the master swordsmanship. The master is no longer coming, but the master did stop by occasionally to rest.”
“It’s a place where memories with Jungmujeonju remain.”
“you’re right. That’s why he came here, locked the door, and didn’t come out.”
“All right.”
Raon nodded and walked towards the door. Beren’s presence was felt in the annex.
“Burren.”
I sang Beren with an auror on my voice so that I could hear it from the inside as well. I called for a while, but there was no answer from inside.
“Hmm.”
Raon lost his appetite and glanced down the annex, then looked at Tias.
“Can I break something here?”
“Yes? ah… Yes!”
Tias bit his lip and nodded as if he had understood the meaning.
“It will be noisy, so please stay away.”
“All right.”
He nodded and took ten steps back.
“Whoa.”
Raon stood in front of the door of the annex and took a deep breath.
“It’s been a while since I’ve become a villain.”
He smiled and kicked the door of the annex.
Aww!
Because the force was not restrained, the doors and walls shattered into pieces, and the annex shook violently.
“profit!”
A bewildered Beren jumped out of the rushing gray dust.
“What are you doing!”
“To get a mole out, you have to dig in the ground.”
“mole? are you… .”
Without answering, he swung his strong hand. The pillars and walls of the annex that touched the back of his hand were crushed like mud.
“don’t do it!”
Burren jumped out of the collapsing wall and shouted evil.
“Every time you saw me, you said you were going to catch up.”
Raon smiled coldly and wiggled his fingers.
“If you want to stop, run.”
Saying that, he kicked the left wall this time.
Aww!
A huge hole was pierced in the wall as if struck by a giant’s mace.
“Stop!”
Burren ran and clenched his fist. Fist full of excitement. There was no ignorance, no flow.
Oops!
Raon patted him lightly with the back of his hand, then shoved his fist into Beren’s abdomen.
“Wow!”
Burren grabbed her stomach and stepped back. His legs staggered like he was about to fall.
“Bring your sword and attack it properly.”
Raon snorted and kicked Beren.
Whoops!
Burren didn’t even think that he could hold out, so he flew away and was thrown into the annex again.
Whoo!
Burren with a sword walked out of the annex that was shaking as if it was about to collapse.
“Wow! Damn you!”
Burren drew his sword while using the auror at its polarity. The wind-infused Auror wrapped around his body, releasing a powerful wave.
Raon looked at Beren’s energy and narrowed his eyes.
‘You’ve definitely grown.’
Perhaps it wasn’t just bluff that he said he would catch up, the size and quality of the Aurors were markedly different from before.
“You better be careful. It’s different from me before!”
Burren clenched her teeth and kicked the ground. In an instant, he squashed to the left and extended his sword. Both speed and speed are different from before, but he has grown beyond that.
Whoa!
With the scabbard of the Jecheon Sword, Burren’s sword attack was lightly blocked.
“Ugh!”
Burren bit her lip that she expected, and then fired the next sword attack. Faster and more magnificent than the first, the swordsmanship continued like a powerful wave.
Whoa!
Raon blocked every attack of Burren’s sword, which was connected like a waterway, with only his scabbard and slapped him in the side.
Oops!
Burren, who was hit by an unexpected attack, screamed and fell to the floor.
“Heh heh heh!”
Burren staggered in shock, but rolled her eyes and stood up. Then he picks his breath and points his sword. Seeing that he calmed his excited mind even in such a situation, he certainly deserved the name of Sieghard.
“From now on, it’s real.”
He grabbed the sword with both hands and pulled the Auror up. The momentum that soars like a rage. But it wasn’t just the energy that got stronger. An aura different from the Auror from a while ago slowly bloomed from Beren.
“Slashblade.”
With those words, Burren’s figure melts into the air. As if teleporting, he came to me in a fleeting moment and slashed his sword.
‘Fast.’
A speed that would have been missed if it wasn’t for the senses. It wasn’t a lie to say that from now on it’s real. However, speed means nothing if it has already been caught by the senses.
blah blah!
Raon raised his sword lightly towards Burren’s sword attack. This time, Burren’s sword attack did not penetrate his space.
Chewy!
However, a strange energy surged from Burren’s sword and began to sever the aura that was wrapped around the scabbard.
“This… .”
The Auror, wearing Burren’s sword, turned into small particles and rotated endlessly. It was as if the rotational force of this auror had ripped his own auror apart.
“No matter how much you do, you will never be able to stop the slash-blade!”
As if he had regained his confidence, Burren unfolded a sword technique called a slash-and-burn sword while stepping on the circular footsteps.
As usual, the strong yet majestic swordsmanship contained the energy of a sack wind, and the cartoonist’s aura was ripped apart like a piece of wood in front of a saw blade.
“Right.”
Raon swung his sword with a cool smile.
“Now I know.”
“I must have been bluffing!”
Burren stomped his feet and drew his sword diagonally. He aimed at Raon’s waist with the feast of the slasher blade that he could now unfold.
blah blah!
Raon blocked the sword attack at the exact moment again this time. But it’s no use. Because the saber sword rips away the defended auror.
‘If you run away, you have to chase me right away… Well?”
Thinking that Raon would retreat, he prepared to catch up, but he did not move even a single foot and endured the speargun as it was.
“Uh, how!”
Burren opened her mouth. The sword strike of the rotating slasher blade could not cut through Raon’s aura and stood still.
‘Are you sure you’re going back?’
Although the sand grain-like aura was spinning wildly, Raon’s aura was not split in the slightest.
“What did you do!”
“Simple.”
Raon smiled as he looked at Burren, who was bewildered.
“I just pushed in a new auror before your auror tore my auror apart. In the opposite direction to your turn.”
Just as the water needs to be cut in a river to fill up again, before the auror splits, a new auror was pushed in to prevent the swordsmanship known as the saber sword.
“Hey, are you operating the Auror so quickly?”
Burren’s eyes fluttered like a sailboat hit by blue.
“Sah, even the speargun doesn’t work… .”
“It’s not that the slash-blade didn’t work, it’s that you’re weak.”
“Cuckoo!”
Raon slapped Burren’s head, trembling her lips.
“If the slasher sword’s rotation was faster and bigger, it would have cracked no matter how much I pushed in the Auror. It is a matter of your skill level.”
“Ugh!”
“Did you just say that you would defeat me with that level of achievement?”
“that… .”
Burren shook her head and shook her chin.
“To catch up without even being able to remove my scabbard is like a guy who ran away with his tail giving up because he wasn’t chosen.”
“What are you talking about knowing!”
“okay. I don’t know what kind of feelings you have with Jungmujeonju. But I know one thing.”
Raon continued, pointing to the ruined annex.
“If you stay in that kennel, he will never look back on you.”
“Ugh… .”
Burren couldn’t resist, biting her lip.
“Since you told me the purpose of life, I will also tell you one of my goals.”
“target?”
“My goal is to bring my mother back to the direct line.”
“crazy!”
Burren’s face turned pale.
“That’s impossible! Your immediate family members who hate you, and your superiors, will not stand still!”
“It’s close to impossible, but not impossible.”
Raon smiled as he met Beren’s eyes, which showed disbelief.
“Performance. It’s possible if you have a track record enough to make them all shut up. So I picked the Gwangpungdan that will do the most missions. Of course, if you’re stuck with hardships like you, it would be impossible even if you take it for the rest of your life.”
“ah… .”
Burren trembled as he had never imagined that Raon would have such a goal.
“Did you say you wanted to be recognized face to face with your father?”
“Yeah, yes. But it’s over. My father is a cold person. You won’t look back now… .”
“There is not one way to face your father.”
Raon shook her head as she looked at Beren who had a frown on her forehead.
“What?”
“Do not let your father turn to you, but you go beyond him and go forward. You go ahead and look back at the Jungmujeonju that follows you from behind. Then he will have to admit it.”
“You want to surpass your father? That’s impossible!”
“This is also impossible. that’s impossible either. Are you going to live like that for the rest of your life?”
“That, that… .”
“It will be difficult. It must be hard enough to die. But is it really impossible?”
“… … .”
Burren did not answer the question. Because the weakest and strongest living witness was right in front of me.
“Which is harder, your goal or mine?”
“… … .”
This time, Burren could not speak. There are innumerable direct and superior lineages who dislike Raon. It was only natural that Raon’s goal, which had to be recognized by them, was closer to impossible.
“If you don’t wield an ax, a tree won’t fall. Will it stay locked up? It is your choice whether or not to come out now and take the axe.”
Leon turned around. As I was going back to the annex, I stopped and slowly turned my head.
“I and Runan made the sword, and Marta got the sword. Everyone is walking forward. If you choose, you better do it quickly. Later, even if you want to walk, there will be no way to walk.”
Leaving Burren with her head bowed, she headed towards the edge of the tree where Tias was.
“sorry. It was the only rough way for me.”
Raon approached Tias, who was far away, and smiled shyly.
“thank you. I just want to thank you.”
Tias folded his hands and bent down. His wrinkled neck trembled.
“then.”
Raon gave Tias a light smile and headed to the annex.
Tias thanked Raon once more and looked at Beren who was kneeling.
“ah… .”
A small light was shining in his eyes, which had been engulfed in despair.
* * *
puddle.
Burren clenched his fists until his hands bleed.
‘You stupid bastard!’
I made a promise to become strong and mature, but nothing really grew. I just mumbled with my mouth to pretend that I was doing something according to Raon’s words.
I was so pathetic that I couldn’t stand it. He still hasn’t changed from when he was engulfed in self-righteousness in the 5th gymnasium. No, he seemed more cowardly than he was back then.
“Are you going to be direct?”
laughter came out. Raon said seriously about the goal that anyone in Sieghard would say is impossible. And when he said it, it seemed like it could be achieved.
‘He’s a great guy.’
He was confined in a room with a sense of despair that he was not chosen by his father, and he ascended from the room to the direct line. It was an unimaginable mental power of the same age.
‘You go ahead of your father and turn around… .’
I was just trying to make my father look back, but I never dreamed of overtaking him. Such an idea itself seemed to make a difference between Raon and himself.
‘okay. Let’s do it somewhere.’
After this, I must overtake my father and see him regret it. It was much easier to catch up with my father compared to Raon’s direct lineage.
‘Wait.’
I will definitely find you
* * *
Limer, who was standing in the middle of Bukmansan Mountain, blew a whistle.
“Great!”
He laughed as he watched Raon leave the annex.
“I thought I was going to give you some poor advice, but I didn’t know you were going to apply medicine after the wound was cut.”
“Well… .”
Glenn nodded slowly. He, too, let out a sigh as if he had not expected that Raon would pull out Burren in such a way.
“It’s amazing. Sometimes it’s just immature, but sometimes it seems like he knows more about the world than I do.”
Limer grinned while holding her head with her interlaced hands.
“Is it because I taught you well? I also have to meet my master… .”
“Before he was your disciple, he was my grandson.”
“Ah, but I’m the one who spent a lot of time together.”
“I was the one who took care of that child more.”
“If I take care of you from behind, who will notice?”
“I didn’t want you to know, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t know. It was just what I wanted to do.”
Glenn frowned as he glared at Limer.
“Huh… .”
The Thousand Sword Master, who was standing quietly behind him, opened his eyes when he saw Glenn’s reaction. He seemed confused when he saw Ga-ju for the first time.
“Wow!”
Glenn felt his gaze from the great swordsman and coughed in vain and turned his head.
“Anyway, I think Burren will wake up soon. Would you like to place a bet with me?”
“betting?”
“Yes. When does Burren wake up? The day after tomorrow is the additional registration period. I’ll bet next month’s paycheck on Wake Up Tomorrow.”
Limer waved her finger and pointed to Beren, who was on her knees.
“Then I’ll bet today.”
“Once you say it, you know it’s over, right?”
“Of course.”
Glenn nodded as if it was natural.
“Fufu, how much is left today… Ugh!”
Limer, who covered her mouth and laughed, let out a moan.
“Hey, why are you waking up already? yum! Lay down a little longer!”
Burren got up with his sword in hand and approached the annex.
“Ahhh!”
He screamed and poured all the remaining Aurors towards the annex.
Aww!
The annex that had been half-broken by Raon collapsed.
“Whew… .”
Burren headed in the direction of Jungmujeon with a cool expression as if he had done his job. Tias followed behind him quietly.
“Go, my lord? We haven’t finalized our bets yet… .”
“Limer.”
“Oh, yes!”
“You misunderstood one thing.”
“Is that an illusion?”
After hearing Glenn’s next words, Limer’s smiling eyes hardened as if he was facing hell.
“You have already received your salary for next month in advance. It’s not the next month that’s gone now, it’s the next month’s paycheck.”
“Oh! shit!”
Remer, who only realized the situation, grabbed her head.
“dummy.”
The Thousand Sword Master clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic.
“I really have no money to live on! I don’t even lend them to my kids anymore!”
“Then there is only one way.”
“How?”
“Get rewarded after completing missions.”
Glenn nodded, looking at Raon and Burren as they moved away in turn.
“I will give the first mission to the Gwangpungdan.”
