Episode 278
Raon narrowed his eyes as the ring of fire resonated.
‘It’s not just the numbers… .’
I’ve seen some strong ones.
White blooded bastards feed on the blood and flesh of others to increase their blood.
Seeing the blood seeping through the flow of mana like oil floating on the water, it seemed that quite a number of masters died here.
‘It’s not being tracked.’
I tried to find the source of the blood, but I couldn’t get there. As if a long rubber band were torn apart, the energy of the Requiem Sword split in the middle.
‘I have to be careful.’
Seeing the faint stench of blood and the blood demons who did not reveal even a small sign, it seemed like it would be better to conduct an investigation pretending to be a wandering mercenary without revealing their identity as originally planned.
“The buildings all look interesting.”
Burren whistled looking up at the unusual buildings of Granseville. He seemed to be interested in the different shapes from the angular and cold Sieghard buildings.
“Well… .”
Luna was the same as usual. He didn’t pay much attention to the building, but only looked towards the Molb Lake beyond Grandeville. It was clear that he thought it was good to bruise.
“Wow, the inside is more gorgeous, isn’t it?”
“Gee, what’s really flashing like this?”
“It’s like this during the day, but it’s even more chaotic at night?”
“Crazy neighborhood.”
The other prosecutors were also busy looking around without feeling the blood.
Raon smiled faintly as he saw the seemingly absent reaction of the Gwangpungdan.
‘It’s rather good because it’s not acting.’
The first time I came to Granseville, it was a realistic reaction that a mercenary would do, so it wasn’t bad. No one would think that he was a swordsman from Sieghard.
“Whew… .”
Martha let out a rough breath and clenched her fists. Rather than grasping the blood, it was as if instinctively smelling the blood of the white blood sects in Gran Seville.
‘Is it the enemy?’
It is said that the heart pursues the enemy, not the head. In a way, it felt similar to the Requiem Sword.
“Because it sucks. Don’t be rude!”
Raon beckoned to the bewildered Gwangpung members. In order to pretend to be the mercenary leader, he intentionally offended his tone.
“a… .”
“The manager was excited too.”
“right. The person from the most village is the headmaster.”
“Heh heh… .”
The members of the Kwangpung Troops acted like a typical small mercenary group as they were taught when they came here.
“It’s rustic.”
“If you’re from the countryside, that’s natural.”
“The Hogus have come again.”
“I’m going to take all my money and go back.”
“Some of them are going to be jibak-ryeong here.”
Seeing the people passing by and the gatekeepers just behind them laughing out loud, the smoke seemed to have worked.
“Shut up and follow me! I’ll start with you and let you play as you please!”
Raon smiled softly and headed to the hostel where he had stayed in his previous life.
* * *
Raon called the captains Marta, Runan, and Buren to the room. After the banquet, three people were seated.
“The prediction of the non-banquet was correct. These are the blood demons of the White Blood Church.”
The pale blood that was grasped by the Ring of Fire and the Requiem Sword is the residue left after the energy of a considerable master was eaten by the white blooded bastards.
Considering the size of the original energy, it seemed that a strong man of at least the archbishop level was hiding in this city.
puffy.
Martha nailed it. When the white blood religion was confirmed, the energy he had been holding back burned with anger.
“Martha.”
Raon looked down at Marta with cold eyes.
“If you can’t control your emotions, get out.”
Burren spoke coldly than usual, enough to turn around in surprise.
“There is no one looking after us on this mission. If you have a Master Master or higher or a Grand Master among your enemies, you may have to get out of the fight instead of fighting. If you lose your temper in excitement, not only you, but the other members will also die.”
There is neither Limer nor Cheryl here. Retreat was always an option to keep in mind, as Gwangpungdan had to do everything alone.
“I know… .”
Martha clenched her fists and exhaled slowly. The energy that had been boiling over with the tablecloth that flowed from her mouth began to subside.
Martha’s eyes were clear again, after controlling her emotions to calm her anger. While I was here, I practiced and had the effect of regulating my emotions.
“Then let’s start again.”
Raon nodded with satisfaction and looked at the three captains.
“Our first goal is to search. Seeing that even with the Requiem Sword their whereabouts are not being tracked, the White Blood Church leader here will not appear easily.”
Seeing that even the detection ability of the Requiem Sword did not reveal the actions of the white blood cultists, it was clear that they were hiding their blood by borrowing the power of Jinbeop or Martial Arts.
“That means you have to go up and find it from the bottom. Even if you find a leukemia, don’t attack it. Let him pretend he doesn’t know, and follow him and find the beggar he saw.”
Because white blooded Christians are fanatics, torture does not work. In order to reveal their identities, we had to find out the identity of the white-blooded and follow them.
“That would be good. Okay.”
“yes.”
As soon as Burren and Runan heard the instructions, they nodded their heads as if there was no need to think.
“after… .”
Martha closed her eyes without answering.
‘This is not erased.’
Even now, if you close your eyes, that day. 10 I remember the hell where the apostles and blood demons ate the blood and flesh of the villagers and dragged their mothers away.
I will probably never forget it for the rest of my life.
It’s a scene that comes up in my dreams every day. Even if you kill the 10 apostles and save your mother, you may not be able to escape from that nightmare for the rest of your life.
‘Until now, I’ve only made excuses for myself.’
‘Cause I’ve been through that I have that nightmare every day.
I thought it was inevitable to lose my reason when I saw the white blooded bastards. I reiterated that it was natural for my hands to go out without my knowledge and my head to go blank.
‘I can’t keep doing that.’

Now you have to let go of that comfort.
‘Cause I’m not a child
You can’t live as a child who can’t do anything forever. As promised to Raon and the 1 trillion won, it was time to move forward.
‘By the way, that guy is a monster.’
Less than an hour after arriving in Granseville, he realized that there was a leukemia and came up with a countermeasure. I felt it every time, but not only the powerlessness, but also the view and experience, it seemed like I was looking at a master level master.
‘I must learn everything.’
There are plenty of other things to learn, but what you need right now is cold reason. I wanted to emulate Raon’s calmness, who always maintains his cool.
Martha calmed her mind and opened her eyes. He looked at Raon with his unshakable eyes.
“It’s okay.”
Raon looked into Marta’s calm eyes and smiled.
“Tell the members the same thing. And let the comrades-in-arms move in groups of three as previously decided.”
When there is a problem with one person, it is possible to report and respond at the same time when there is a problem with three people. In this situation, it was most efficient to go with three people.
“Dismiss without question.”
Raon motioned for the members to return.
“Are you traveling alone?”
Burren turned his head instead of leaving.
“Are you worried about me?”
“Actually, I’m not worried about monsters.”
He grinned and scratched his cheek.
“Then what are you doing?”
This time, Martha narrowed her eyes.
“I should see you.”
Raon smiled faintly and got up.
“The client who called us here.”
* * *
Raon left the dorm alone. I wandered around like a mercenary and went into an antique shop in the corner of the alley.
“Come on.”
The old man with one-eyed glasses shook his head as if annoyed.
Raon slowly looked around the items on display and headed to the counter where the old man was.
“What are you looking at? will you live Are you going to sell it?”
The old man looked up and down Raon and frowned.
“I’m here to borrow.”
“What?”
“An ax for cutting down a big tree.”
“Well.”
The old man got up slowly. His eyes, which had been filled with irritation a while ago, instantly became transparent like beads without even the slightest emotion.
“Come this way.”
Raon followed the old man into the counter. After passing through several rooms of unknown purpose, we went to the innermost room and saw a gray window hanging from the wall below.
“It’s not here.”
He opened the window, revealing a dark space and a white staircase. It was a secret passage with magical treatment.
Raon nodded and went down the stairs. I could feel the presence of a few people in the dark, but I ignored it and continued to go down.
-Humans can face the sun and always hide underground. These are pathetic things.
Lars clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like something.
– What else are you doing here?
‘The place where the client of this mission is.’
– What kind of client is lying on the floor?
‘People who like to hide usually gather at the black market.’
Raon laughed bitterly. What I was looking for now was an information group covering the entire continent, and a black market that operated numerous gambling houses and pubs in Gran Seville.
-Why did they do this?
‘Because the money here is running out.’
Read at noblemtl.com
No matter how good the entertainment is, it is not enough to enjoy it to the point of risking your life. As the number of missing persons is increasing, the number of people visiting this place has decreased, so sales in the black market are likely to be bottoming out.
-Heh, you’re saying that the Hogus are disappearing.
‘right. Hogu also has to take good care of the environment to bring money.’
Raon said those words and looked at Las.
‘I’m learning one here.’
I’ll have to take care of the food so that Lars, who gives generously, doesn’t run away. Except for the macarons.
-Well? Why, why are you looking at the real king with such eyes?
‘Nope.’
He shook his hand and smiled.
widely.
As I go down the stairs, a soft light turns on in the dark hallway. It was a signal to follow. Moving along the light, an old-fashioned door appeared.
squeaky.
When I opened the door and entered, a woman wearing a purple robe and a hood was sitting in front of a round table.
“Sit down.”
The woman nodded slightly and pointed to the front seat.
“My name is Denning Rose, general manager of the Black Market Granseville.”
Denning Rose introduced herself and took off her robe. She was a pretty girl with red hair and short hair, and she wore an eyepatch with a black rose on her right eye.
“My name is Raon Sieghart, the indecisive owner.”
Raon sat down in the seat opposite Denning Rose and bowed his head.
“Are you disguised as a mercenary?”
“Yes. It’s the most comfortable to wear as a mercenary when doing research.”
Because mercenaries are so free-spirited, they rarely follow the rules. The job I disguised the most in my previous life was a mercenary.
“It’s a shame. I wanted to see the face that fell in love with the youngest father-in-law of the Yonan family.”
Denning Rose smiled faintly and placed the papers on the table.
“The situation is a little different from when I commissioned it.”
She held out the papers with a smile on her face.
“White blood. It seems that it has been confirmed that there are high-ranking leukemia members.”
“Hey, how… .”
Denning Rose opened her left eye.
“When I got here, I could feel the faint blood floating around. It seems that the famous masters were beaten.”
“Right… .”
She shook her chin in surprise.
“Recently, people who could be called the strong have died every day. Most likely there will be an Archbishop or an Apostle.”
Denning Rose pointed to the bottom of the paper. The names of those who had recently disappeared were written there. Intermediate, advanced, and superlative experts had long passed their heyday, but one Master was also involved.
“All of them… .”
“Yes. Recently, they also disappeared after sending the request.”
“To disappear without a trace even to the Master… .”
I thought it was more dangerous than I expected.
“How many apostles and who is the archbishop are not known?”
“Not at all. A few days ago, we caught a leukist, but he committed suicide right away, so we didn’t get any information.”
Denning Rose frowned as if regretful.
“They were caught by our agents while they were secretly conducting missionary work, so now they won’t show up any more.”
“Even the black market can’t find leukemia.”
Raon savored the paperwork. I thought something would come out, but it wasn’t much different from what I got here.
“It’s a shameful story, but the white blood religion is like our natural enemy.”
Denning Rose took a deep breath.
“We are a group formed by people on the floor to protect themselves. In Gran Seville, gamblers, thieves, courtesans, clerks, servants, and many more people ask for information. But leukism is not the place to find such a thing.”
“The fanatic… .”
“Yes. They never reveal their identities except to those who believe in blood gods. It is difficult to distinguish between the lower cults because the color of their blood is similar to that of ordinary people.”
“Thanks to that, Graceville’s sales are going down exponentially.”
“How else… .”
“Because there aren’t that many crazy people who will enjoy their nightlife until the day they die.”
As I told Lars, most people don’t risk their lives to enjoy the nightlife. There are many nightlife cities similar to or bigger than Granseville.
“Uh… .”
Denning Rose looked at Raon’s calm eyes and swallowed dry saliva.
‘Certainly different.’
As soon as he came to Granseville, he felt the blood and realized that the Leukemia Church was hiding, until now, no one knew that. He was a man different from ordinary masters.
‘I will not be pushed by the Continental Twelve Stars.’
Even the Twelve Continental Stars I’ve met so far have never felt such a shocking feeling. If it was Raon, it seemed that he would be able to stand up to the Continental Twelve Stars who were one year older.
‘How could a person under 20 do this?’
What’s even more surprising is his personality and heart.
I thought I would be cocky by gaining both power and fame at a young age, but I don’t feel that way at all. He was very polite, thinking only about his mission, and receiving information very quickly.
‘He’s a dangerous man.’
The public only looked at Raon’s power, but I thought that what we really need to see is his judgment and insight.
“If there is anything we can support, we will do anything. We don’t have to deal with all the white blooded cults, so just kill the senior cultists here.”
Denning Rose gathered her thoughts and bowed her head. Granseville is a place that generates a lot of sales for its size. If I could only drive out the white blood, I could really do anything.
“Anything… .”
Raon smiled and got up.
“I will remember those words.”
* * *
After meeting Denning Rose, Raon wandered all over Granseville, drinking alcohol, and then headed to the Molb Lake. There were quite a few people who came to boat with a prostitute, so I killed Ki-cheok and walked around the lake.
After climbing the hill on the other side of the lake, I looked over Granseville.
– What else are you doing? Are you not eating dinner? This is the city of gastronomy!
‘It’s gourmet and what should I do first.’
-The demons who eat and die say that the color is good too!
‘I have to work to earn money to buy food.’
-rice!
‘Work.’
Raon threw Lars, who shouted “Bob,” to the lake, and looked down at Gran Seville. The more time passes, the more dangerous it is for the gangbang members and ordinary people. We had to figure out the secret of this place as soon as possible.
‘It’s too flashy.’
At night, brilliant lights flashed and the city was colored with a splendor different from the daytime. It seemed as if he had no idea of disappearances, murders, or blood ties, but only overflowing with joy.
‘There’s something.’
Granseville at night had a stench different from that of the day. In particular, the flow of blood became more secretive, and the yogi of the Requiem Sword lost its strength as if it had been crushed by something. It was clear that the White Blood Church had done something to the whole city.
‘It would be possible here.’

Now it was time to look at the forest, not the trees, so I got out of Gran Seville and climbed a hill where I could see the whole city.
whoops.
Raon closed his eyes and exhaled a deep cold breath into his lungs. I opened my eyes, feeling the frustration disappearing.
Woo woo woo!

Now, it resonated with the seven rings of fire. My heart was beating fast, and the flow of the world began to pass slowly.
The waves of the river, the movement of air, and the flowing clouds flowed slowly like slugs.
Chewy!
Raon added more power to the fast-blinking rings. The moment the clear sound of the rings merged with his mind, he grabbed the Requiem Sword.
Woo woo woo woo!
The Requiem Sword resonated with the rings of fire that swirled around the heart as if it had become the eighth ring, creating a magnificent yogi.
‘Here’s one more.’
Raon bit his lip, raising his eyes in anger. Anger clinging to his soul pierced his reddened vision.
When the clairvoyance of the Requiem Sword that grasps the flow and blood of the world shown by the Ring of Fire and the clairvoyance of the wrathful eye, an unimaginable sight caught my eye.
“After all, those bastards are spinning.”
An eerie spark of light flashed from Raon’s eyes.
“You mean you did this shit?”
