Episode 228
Cheryl tossed the tanned, shriveled Limer into the corner and walked over to Glenn.
“Lord. Were you really trying to hold back your laughter with that expression earlier?”
Glenn stretched out his hand, grimacing, without answering.
Curry!
A ray of lightning rose from the ceiling and fell on Limer’s shoulder.
“Shut up!”
Rimer, who had been half stunned, screamed evil and reflexively got up.
“Why, why me… … .”
He couldn’t get it right and hit his head on the ground again.
“Didn’t you guys start?”
Glenn clenched his fists as if regretting not being able to hit any more.
“Lord.”
Cheryl closed her eyes and took a step forward.
“I understand why the Lord told me to bring Raon to the mission.”
He smiled faintly and opened his eyes.
“At first, I thought he was a lucky guy with heavenly talent, but he wasn’t at all. While performing the mission, the child fell in love with the practice whenever he had time. None of the Sieghard swordsmen are lazy in training, but it was the first time he worked as hard as Raon.”
When Raon had spare time, he swung his sword or fell into meditation. I’ve seen many swordsmen, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a guy who’s been trained to that extent.
“I thought he was a cold-hearted person as he can see from his appearance, but he was just a light-hearted person, and he looked at everyone carefully. In such a short time, I became so attached to him that he took care of me without realizing it.”
Cheryl’s voice was full of feelings for Raon.
“I understand why that idiot called Gaju Gam, and why he thinks of Raon in particular. He was a good guy to watch.”
“Hmm. is it.”
Glenn coughed and raised his chin slightly. The corners of his lips, which had been forcibly controlled, rose slowly.
“The child has the qualities to become great both as a prosecutor and as a chief. I will look into it carefully in the future.”
“That would be your heart.”
He shrugged his chin as if he didn’t care, but the smile on his lips rose unbeknownst to the sky.
“Oh, I see.”
Cheryl frowned and looked up at Glenn.
“It seems that Raon is about to meet the thief.”
“Destroy? Why all of a sudden?”
“It was as if that idiot knew where he lost his money and was trying to find it.”
She pointed to Limer, who was perched in a corner and gasping for breath.
“I asked why he looked like a beggar, so he went to the gambling house again.”
“Hey, this time it was really bad.”
Rimer got up and scratched his head.
“If only the last one was attached, I would be sucking it all in, but that one is not enough… .”
“dummy.”
Cheryl sighed and shook her head.
“Isn’t it time to stop?”
Glenn furrowed his eyebrows. The atmosphere was different from when I was usually scolded.
“That’s not what everyone wants from you.”
“I only know this way.”
Limer shrugged with a slightly bitter smile.
“Whoa.”
Glenn sighed and shook his head.
“Leave that idiot, why is Raon looking for the thief?”
“When you talk about the three drugs and laugh, it’s clear that the gambler is trying to win the money he lost.”
Cheryl recounted Raon’s conversation a while ago.
“Kokou belongs to Sieghard, but he is no longer a Sieghard, so he will need some attention. Shall I stop you?”
“You don’t have to.”
Glenn shook his head slowly.
“That child must also make mistakes at least once and need experience of losing. Let it go.”
“All right.”
Cheryl did not object and backed away.
“and… … .”
“uh? huh?”
As Glenn reached out, Limer, who was quietly about to leave the audience, floated into the air.
“Why are you suddenly… .”
“Isn’t it you who taught Raon to use pointless gambling?”
“As I said before, I never did! Not really!”
“Who other than you taught him to gamble!”
“No, I would have said I didn’t do what I didn’t do… Aww!”
Rimer’s unjust voice was buried in the thunder and extinguished to the ground.
“Loen.”
Glenn lifted his frown and gestured to Loen, who was smiling.
“Yes. Lord.”
“Did you say something earlier?”
“which… .”
“I mean, if Raon had been his grandson, he would have spread rumors in the neighborhood.”
“Oh, yes.”
Roen nodded her head.
“As you said, how about spreading the story of Raon a little more? No, it’s not because of Raon, but because the name of the family that produced the youngest Master is going up. Well. okay. It’s for the family.”
Glenn kept his sober expression as usual, but there was a small tremor in his voice that only close friends could recognize.
“Promotion of the family. Not bad. We will do that.”
“I think it’s a good way too.”
Loen smiled and nodded her head, and Cheryl gave a faint smile.
“Oh, no. not that… .”
Limer gasped and got up.
“Put away the publicity and give me a tea that cherishes Raon! No, what’s the use of publicity? Just as a grandfather, he hugged his grandson once and worked hard. My dear grandson Raon! You can do it, but it’s difficult… … Kyauk!”
He was repeatedly hit by red lightning bolts from above and below and rolled over the floor.
Chewy profit!
Black smoke slowly rose from Limer’s body and clothes.
“You should propose that slowly.”
Cheryl shook her head as she saw Limer still alive after being struck by lightning four times.
“dummy.”
* * *
Raon took Julius over the garden of the annex. As the annex drew closer, Julius’s hands began to tremble a little.
‘It will be tense.’
Having left his hometown to live in a new place, it was understandable that Julius was nervous. I remember the same thing when I brought an infant with me back in the day.
“Don’t be too nervous. They are all good people.”
“Yes. All right.”
Julius took a deep breath and nodded.
“Ah, there’s a kid the same age as you in there.”
“Did you say you’re the same age?”
Julius’s eyes flashed at the words of the same age. He seemed to feel a sense of rivalry.
“okay. I hope you are doing well.”
Raon smiled and opened the door to the annex.
“uh!”
A toddler wearing a white bread hat and holding a tray opened his eyes.
“young master!”
The infant ran forward with the tray on which the steaming pie was placed.
“Now you are here!”
The forked hair that hung under the hat fluttered like a butterfly.
“How have you been?”
“Sure!”
The infant nodded in a more lively voice than before.
“I heard that you had returned, so we were all preparing food together. It’s almost done, so please wash up quickly.”
“Okay.”
“But uh… .”
As he nodded and went to the bathroom, the infant tilted his head as he looked at Julius.
“He’s the kid we’ll be staying with in the future. ‘Cause I’m with you Be well.”
“Are you the same age? and! i’m a toddler nice to meet you!”
The infant smiled brightly and shook his head slightly. Although he was holding a tray, he greeted me as kindly as possible.
“My name is Julius Forzan.”
Julius nodded his head with respect even though he said they were of the same age.
“You too, wash up and come quickly!”
The toddler smiled and ran towards the dining room.
“Is that person the same age as you?”
“okay.”
“Ah, I thought I was uninhabited.”
A sense of relief bloomed at Julius’ serious expression.
“It’s unmanned.”
“Yes?”
“It’s been a while since I started, but I’m a kid who walks the path of an uninhabited person. It’s a talent that Eden is aiming for, like you.”
“Huh!”
At those words, Julius’s mouth widened. The warmth in his eyes lit up as if his subdued ho-seung-shim had risen again.
“Laon!”
“young master!”
Sylvia and her maids rushed out from the kitchen and dining room as if the infant had spoken.
“Wow, my son’s face is halfway there! Are all the injured places better? yes?”
“You haven’t even eaten properly! Guys!”
“yes! I’ll prepare it right away!”
Sylvia sniffed as she touched her face, and Helen took her hand and bit her lip. The other maids sighed sadly and ran back to the restaurant.
Raon smiled faintly at everyone’s reaction.
‘Still.’
Sylvia and Helen did not change after they became Masters. Rather than catching the demons of Eden, he only cared about whether he was doing well and whether all wounds were healed. I felt at ease.
“It was all right. It’s okay now.”
Raon gave strength to the hand he was holding and nodded.
“Because I’m tall, not skinny. do not worry.”
“Really?”
“yes.”
“Really?”
“okay.”
Sylvia let out a sigh of relief after checking it three times.
“But this kid… … .”
She looked at Julius standing on the right and widened her head and eyes.
“I will live with you in the future. In Letran… … .”
Raon simply told the story of Julius.
“Those demonic things… .”
Sylvia bit her lip and bowed to meet Julius’s eyes.
“You are welcome. There will be no monsters touching you in the future.”
“no. I will become an unmanned body. Be prepared to fight anytime, anywhere… … .”
“Don’t worry.”
Sylvia hugged Julius as he shook his head.
‘Have you ever thought of that again?’
Sylvia hates and fears Eden the most because she lost her husband and daughter to the demons of Eden. As I remembered that time, my emotions were stronger than usual.
“Ugh, go, why all of a sudden… … .”
Julius was perplexed, but he was biting his lips as if he didn’t like the warmth of her sincerity. Bear in mind, this guy is still young. It must have been difficult so far.
Raon smiled softly as he looked at Julius whose face was dyed red not knowing what to do.
“Come well. In the annex of Sieghard.”
* * *
After washing in the washroom, Raon went into the restaurant.
A long square table was filled with various foods, and the maids were smiling while standing behind the chairs.
Moments later, Helen, Toddler, and Sylvia took a pot full of white stew and placed it on the table.
“Everyone sit down.”
At Sylvia’s beckoning, Raon and her maids took their seats.
“Today is Raon’s comeback anniversary! Raon’s master commemoration! A celebration of Raon becoming a hero! It’s a commemoration of Raon’s gold plaque! Raon is called Sulwha Sword Hyeop… .”
“Mom… .”
After Raon frowned and shook her head, Silvia’s words that seemed to never end stopped.
“Oh yeah. So far.”
Sylvia smiled and clapped her hands.
“Everyone will be hungry, before we eat! Finally, applause to Raon, who became the youngest master!”
“Aaah!”
“congratulations!”
“I knew Raon-sama would do it!”
“Right! You worked so hard!”
Helen and her maids all smiled and clapped in congratulations.
Raon made eye contact with everyone and smiled.
‘I like this too.’
While dealing with scoundrels who applauded with their hands and muttered accusations with their mouths, hearing the sincere words made me feel comfortable and warm.
“Then let’s eat before it gets cold!”
Sylvia scooped out the stew before eating her own food and placed it in front of Raon.
“It’s a stew made with a new recipe. Lots of beef, vegetables and fruits!”
-Oh oh! Just hearing it makes me salivate!
Lars jumped over the bracelet like a carp.
– Come on, eat! Guide the king into a new world of taste!
Raon pushed out Lars, who exuded the dignity as if he was making a declaration of war, and grabbed the bowl containing the stew.
“thanks.”
He nodded at Sylvia and took a bite of the stew.
At first taste, the concentrated flavor of beef was well felt, and in the middle, the original savory and soft taste of the stew, and at the end, the sweetness of the fruit subtly sprouted.
– Haha, the three flavors are so harmonious that they stir the tongue. It’s an admirable piece of work.
‘Yes.’
Leon nodded his head. I thought it was not good because it had fruit in it, but it matched well as if it was put together.
– But it doesn’t deviate from the basics. It is full of sincerity, yet the new taste permeates well. I like it.
Lars nodded as if satisfied.
– After all, home-cooked food is the best.
‘… … .’
Raon looked at Las with absurd eyes.
it’s your house
* * *
-Feel so good.
After a satisfying meal, Raon returned to her room with Lars pounding her stomach. I heard three knocks as I was organizing my luggage.
“come in.”
Without an answer, the door opened and Judiel entered and bowed his head.
“Isn’t it great?”
“It wasn’t until a while ago… .”
Judiel took a short breath and continued.
“At the middle of the battle, we were instructed to find out if Raon had any particular injuries or if there were any aftereffects.”
“It’s the aftermath… .”
Raon laughed bitterly. I thought that Karun was still the same.
“What should I do?”
“Leave it for now. Talking right away will make you suspicious.”
“All right.”
Judyel immediately nodded as if thinking the same thing.
“I have one request.”
“Say it.”
“Can you investigate the robbery?”
“Are you talking about the destruction of the three drugs of destruction?”
“okay.”
Raon placed the backpack he had taken out of his luggage beside him and nodded.
“It seems that it was not an ordinary gambler, but a robber who took the manager’s money at the gambling house. I have to get my money back.”
– Because it’s not your money.
Lars shook his head as if it was ridiculous.
“All right. It will take a while since he is an old person, but I will try to find the most up-to-date information.”
Judiel left the room with trustworthy words.
– What is the destruction you mentioned earlier?
‘I have a grandfather who likes to gamble, drink, and fight.’
Raon smiled softly and sat down on the bed.
“Las. Do you feel good?”
– Well, it’s pretty good. If you rest well now, you will feel better.
“Aren’t you craving ice cream?”
– I’m hungry! Maybe it’s after a meal, so I’m ignorantly pulling sweets!
Lars nodded his head coldly, sticking his tongue out slightly.
Raon laughed, enjoying Lars’ reaction.
“Then shall we do something?”
* * *
next day.
Raon took the infant and Julius to the garden managed by Loen.
“Loen-sama!”
As if they had gotten too close, YooA waved to Loen and ran, and Julius followed Raon with an awkward step.
“The Lord has also come with you.”
Loen, who held the infant’s hand, smiled at Raon.
“I want to see how much I have learned. and… .”
Raon gently pushed Julius on the back and sent it forward.
“While coming here, he gave me basic posture, but I need someone to look after me, so I’m going to ask this guy a favor too.”
“Whoa, we’re about the same age, so it wouldn’t be bad to be together.”
Loen nodded, looking at Yua and Julius alternately.
‘You’re smart too.’
He also seemed to think that it would be good to create a rivalry between Yua and Julius.
“Then let’s unwind from the body and start.”
Loen turned her wrists and ankles as if demonstrating. It was a warm-up exercise that relaxed the whole body by gradually moving from small movements to large movements.
“What did Julius learn from Raon?”
“I learned the basic posture of muhak. I also learned the standby posture, the three basic postures, and training methods like Mabo.”
Julius recited the basics he had learned while coming here one by one.
“okay.”
Loen looked at Julius calmly and nodded.
“Then it’s better to run first.”
“Yes?”
“This garden is a great place to run because the floor is soft. Shall we go around 10 laps for now?”
“uh… .”
Julius looked at Loen, widened his eyes, and bit his lip.
“All right!”
He got up and started running through the garden.
“Hmm, you don’t reject it unexpectedly.”
Loen shrugged as if in surprise.
“I admit it.”
Raon smiled softly as he looked at Julius’ back as he ran.
“admit?”
“He said he only listens to people he approves. Loen-sama is acknowledged and followed.”
“That’s fun.”
Loen looked at Julius until he disappeared through the garden bushes, and then turned his head.
“Then we begin.”
“yes!”
Toddler followed Loen and stood in the center of the garden.
“Sound can be heard anywhere in the world. There is a sound from the wind in your hair, from these beautiful and vivid petals, or from a sword struck from iron.”
“yes! I know.”
The child’s forked hair wiggled like rabbit ears.
“It’s good to enjoy the sounds of nature as it is, but people like us can make them a little more audible.”
Loen raised her left and right hands at the same time and lightly clapped her hands.
Paang!
The moment a gentle applause resounded in the garden, my head was clear as if I had received a cool breeze, and the fatigue and drowsiness of the journey went away in an instant.
“Wow, that’s cool!”
As if the infant could feel it, he jumped and nodded.
“The sound of the moment is a mixture of atmospheric mana with a special way to clear your mind.”
Roen smiled brightly.
“her… .”
Raon opened his mouth. I knew there was martial arts using sound, but I didn’t know that I could feel as if I was meditating with just one applause.
“Loen.”
Leon raised his hand.
“I just killed the enemy with just applause, contrary to the sound… No, I can attack.”
I was about to say kill, but when I saw the infant, I changed my mind.
“Yes, of course.”
Loen turned around with a cool smile.
“Would you like to try it?”
“Yes.”
Leon nodded his head. The ring of fire resonated and focused on Loen.
“then… .”
Loen spread her hands a little wider and clapped her hands. The auror in his danjeon engulfed the atmosphere, creating a wave of life.
Beep profit!
I didn’t prepare because I wanted to feel it properly, so I heard a big tinnitus in my ear, and for a moment, my body was paralyzed, and my stomach was pounding.
‘It was to spread the aura in the air through the sound of applause.’
The martial arts of this sound, which awakens and bruises the mind, were not so different from swordsmanship. It was a method of attacking the opponent with an auror in the sound he made, or boosting his strength.
‘I don’t know the gugyeol itself, but I can roughly follow it.’
It resonated with the Ring of Fire, and Loen showed it so well, so it seemed that the method of putting life in applause could be copied.
‘You can use swords instead of applause.’
Using the vibration of the sword, which is the sound of friction and the cry of the sword, it was a feasible method.
“After all, the master knows how to learn.”
Loen smiled happily as if she didn’t know she would receive it without raising an auror.
“Can I try it too?”
“Did you just mean that?”
“Yes.”
“of course.”
Loen nodded her head with her legs shoulder-width apart as if in anticipation.
“Baby. come behind me.”
“Ah yes.”
After sending the infant back, he confirmed the location of Julius. I made sure that there was no damage to the two people and grabbed the sword of the Jecheon Sword.
‘The core is not that different.’
The martial arts of swordsmanship and sound were not much different. What was important was how quickly the auror was properly captured in the sound.
“Then I will go.”
At the moment when a red light flashed in Raon’s eyes, the Jecheon Sword revealed its silver fangs and vomited a dragon.
