Episode 313
The second place the Three Princes showed us was the dance hall. It was not just an ordinary gymnasium, but a place where the strongest raiding silver knights who annihilate the enemies of Owen Kingdom practiced.
Raon narrowed his eyes and looked at the silver knights.
‘It’s creepy sharp.’
If the guard knights protecting the royal family were solid pillars or shields, the silver knights looked like swords polished endlessly.
A force that was distinctly different from the knights he had seen on his way to the royal road. The anticipation of the silver knights was enough to raise chicken meat.
‘Good.’
The swordsmanship that the Silver Knights practiced was herbivorous, maximizing the swordsmanship and precision sword unique to Owen Kingdom. Perhaps it was thanks to their high level of swordsmanship, they could see the flow of their swordsmanship at a glance.
‘This would be quite helpful.’
He didn’t reveal all his skills, but he studied because he was such an excellent swordsman.
‘Among them… .’
On the right, I saw a young man wielding a sword more slowly than anyone else. Blue hair resembling the sea and brown eyes. He looked young, but the energy he had was different from other knights.
But it wasn’t the first time he felt his energy. It was quite a long time ago, but I had a sense of memory.
“It’s also nice to see.”
Limer came to the side and smiled.
“That guy is Borini Keaton.”
“Borini Keaton?”
“Borini Keaton of the Continental Twelve. These guys were called geniuses before you.”
He pointed to the blue-haired young man who radiated a powerful force like a single sword just by standing there.
“You knew it!”
The three princes smiled broadly and nodded their heads.
“you’re right. That’s the lancet sword, Sir Borini Keaton. I didn’t know the lightsaber would know.”
He smiled broadly, glad that Limer knew Borini Keaton.
“I know about the Continental Twelve Stars. The story that comes up every day in bars and gambling places is who among the twelve continents is counted.”
Rimer murmured that even if he didn’t want to know, he would know everything if he went to the gambling house.
“Do you want to visit the prince too? I’m in the adult world… .”
“Close that mouth.”
Cheryl frowned and slapped Limer’s back with her elbow.
“Gagging!”
Limer grabbed her waist and stepped back.
“Well.”
Borini Keaton felt people’s gaze and approached him with his sword down.
“Prince lowered.”
First, he bowed his head politely to the three princes.
“As you may know, these are Sieghard’s guests.”
“My name is Borini Kitten of the Silver Knights.”
Borini Keaton bowed his back, neither too much nor too light.
“I’m Cheryl, the lord of Sieghart’s Thousand Swords.”
Cheryl, who can be said to be the representative of the party, nodded as he greeted him.
“It is an honor to meet the Great Master of Heaven!”
Keaton’s voice rose by a tone as if it was not empty words.
“And he… .”
“Oh, don’t worry.”
He saw Limer still clutching her waist, but Cheryl covered her eyes.
“My name is Raon Sieghart, the indecisive owner.”
Raon, who could be called the next turn, approached Cheryl and bowed his head to Keaton.
‘Now I think I know where I saw it.’
When I looked up close, I remembered the time when I felt the presence of Bori Keaton.
When he was fighting the White Blood Church on a hill near Cameloon, the vision that appeared from afar was the same as the Borini Kidden in front of him.
“Raon Sieghard… .”
Borini Keaton’s eyes widened.
‘You’ve grown to this extent.’
When secretly escorting the three princes, there was a time when he observed Raon from afar. At that time, there was strength and elegance that transcends age, but now it seems that the person is completely different.
‘It’s crazy.’
At that time, there were several huge mountains between Raon and himself, but now they are all open. The young prosecutor, who was not yet 20 years old, was already chasing him down to his chin.
‘Is this possible?’
I heard that they are doing a great job under the pseudonym of Sulwha Swordsman, but it is also true that they disregarded it to some extent because they were kidnapped by Eden.
However, the Raon I saw now was not at a level that could be ignored by anyone. He had a power that was hard to imagine at that age.
‘Other people would have passed without knowing it.’
If he had not mastered Owen’s unique sensory skill to grasp the opponent’s strength, or his own strength was a little low, he would not have been able to even grasp Raon’s ability. My head was dizzy.
“Lord Borini?”
“Oh, yes.”
At the call of the Three Princes, Keaton barely came to his senses and nodded his head.
“Welcome to the Silver Knights. Unfortunately, the manager is currently absent. It’s not enough, but I’ll guide you instead.”
Borini Keaton politely bowed his head and told him to follow.
“Hmm.”
Raon looked only at his back, not the gym facilities or the knights introduced by Borini.
‘How about… .’
Before going to Habun Fortress, there was such a big difference that I couldn’t even feel the presence of Borini Keaton properly, but not now.
The field is still high over there, but if you fight with all your might, you’ve caught up enough to win.
‘Nice to come.’
Raon tapped the swordsman and smiled.
‘I can get a lot.’
* * *
Derus Roberts took a sip of tea and smiled.
“It definitely tastes and smells good. Bitter at first but sweet in the end, it looks like velvet coral has been dried properly.”
He put down his teacup and drank briefly.
“It’s amazing how high-end velvet coral tea is so hard to find even for me living in Robert.”
“I hope you find out.”
King Lecross smiled. Unlike Glenn, he nodded with delight at Derus, who knew the taste of tea.
“Ah, I met Sulwha Swordsman on the way here.”
Derus raised the mug again and looked at Glenn.
“There is a reason why the Lord’s face brightened. He was outstanding among the young swordsmen I had ever seen.”
“I think the Heavenly Swordsman thinks so too.”
King Lecross smiled, saying they had similar thoughts.
“A 19-year-old master intermediate, anyone would think so. I have already realized that the two of them have different textures.”
“Conclusion?”
“Yes. I think you saw it right when you said that you felt nervous and felt the sharp and straight momentum of the High Majesty.”
“Huh… .”
King Lekros shook his head in vain.
“It’s a really scary talent.”
“Yes. It’s a test I look forward to more in the future.”
Derus praised Raon and looked at Glenn.
‘ expressionless. No, I’m just a little happy.’
Glenn’s expression looked as cold as when we first met, but his lips were slightly raised. He pretended not to, but he seemed to care about Raon.
“The bottom four of the Continental Twelve are likely to break it, and it will boil down to the four middle ranks.”
Derus gave a slightly stronger compliment and saw Glenn’s reaction.
‘Well, isn’t it?’
They are grouped together under the name of the Continental Twelve Stars, but of course they are not all in the same state.
Due to differences in age, talent, and uneducated education, the rankings are divided into four lower ranks, four middle ranks, and four upper ranks.
Among them, the four lieutenants were middle-class unmanned soldiers who had already made their name and force known throughout the continent, but Glenn’s expression did not change even when compared to them.
“I think the same.”
King Lecross nodded slowly.
“Borinii is just a lieutenant, and I think I can make a good match with him.”
“Yes. I think we can have a fun fight with our Cadiz guy.”
Derus spoke about Cadiz and looked at Glenn’s expression again. His eyes grew colder.
‘Well, I guess I was mistaken.’
Borini Keaton and Cadiz Roberts are warriors who have achieved fame and achievements that cannot be compared with Raon.
Seeing that there was no change in his expression despite comparing him to them, Glenn didn’t seem to value Raon that much.
‘Well, it doesn’t make sense for that cold-blooded person to take care of someone.’
The Glenn he knows is not a person who takes care of his own children, let alone his grandchildren. He was just angry at ignoring Sieghard when he hit Eden this time, but it was obvious that he had no intention of saving Raon.
‘I can start planning.’
Derus put down the teacup with a small smile.
“Then it’s a relationship to get together like this, so why not hold an interesting contest?”
“Competition?”
“What contest are you talking about?”
Glenn and Lecross turned their heads at Derus at the same time.
“It’s not common for young warriors to gather like this, so it’s a friendly tournament. It would be fun to open it by dividing it into expert level and master level.”
Derus smiled as he lightly tapped the table with his fingers.
“I really wonder what will happen if the Sulwhasoo Swordsmanship fights with the Continental Twelve Stars, so I will have my child participate as well.”
“Blue sword Cadis? Isn’t he the highest rank among lieutenants?”
The blue sword Cadis Robert was 5th in the Twelve Stars, and it was a bit difficult for Raon to face now.
“It’s a friendly tournament, isn’t it? There will be no danger.”
“Hmm, I think it will be fun. Then we’ll send the spearsword.”
“The Lord… .”
“Good.”
Glenn nodded expressionlessly.
“I look forward to it. Who will be the top among the young fellows?”
Derus smiled faintly and put his hands together.
“Derus-sama?”
Loen narrowed her eyes and called for Derus.
“Blood is coming out of the glove.”
Just as he said, a few drops of blood flowed from the inside of the black glove.
Derus smiled without the slightest embarrassment.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
As he swiped his hand down, the blood drained cleanly.
“Let’s tell this story at the banquet. I also like to collect gifts for the children.”
“Hmm, that’s good.”
“Then I will go. See you at the banquet.”
Derus bowed his head to Glenn and King Lekros and left the parlor.
“I’ll go too.”
Glenn put down the empty teacup and stood up.
“Have a good rest.”
He nodded to Lecross who had met him and left the drawing room.
“Well… .”
Loen narrowed her eyes as she followed Glenn as she walked down the hallway.
‘You seem to be in a bad mood all of a sudden.’
Glenn’s eyes, who had been delighted to hear Raon’s praise not too long ago, had subsided coldly.
‘I don’t know why.’
I thought I knew everything about Glenn, but I couldn’t catch his attention as far as Raon was concerned.
“Lord. Did something happen?”
Loen couldn’t hold back her curiosity and was stunned and stuck to Glenn’s side.
“How can you not be angry when you hear ‘something like that’?”
“If that’s the case… .”
“Laon… .”
“Laon?”
“Didn’t you compare it to something like the Continental Twelve Stars? They have different talents and different prices! As for the personality, how many ranks are Raon’s?”
Glenn frowned and clenched his fists. It meant he was really angry.
‘her… .’
To say that even a comparison with the Twelve Stars, who is a future transcendent, is not satisfactory, seems to have underestimated the grandfather who is full of love for his grandchildren.
But it wasn’t wrong. Even if it is now, they are the ones who will be at Raon’s feet in the future.
Ron smiled and nodded her head.
“That’s right. This time, we can show it.”
* * *
Derus Robert immediately returned to his dormitory and called the two butlers to their room.
“Mathio.”
“Yes.”
At his call, the butler on the left bowed his head. He was the butler of the shadows who always wore a mask.
“Can you recognize the assassins you raised?”
“of course.”
Matio nodded without hesitation.
“Assassins have their own unique gestures and moods. It cannot be erased by time. Especially if it’s a guy I raised, I can definitely recognize him.”
“Even if it was 20 years ago and you learned a different martial arts?”
“The education I taught uses the imprinting effect of birds, so even if you are reborn, you cannot escape it.”
He lit up his confident eyes as if it was natural.
Derus smiled softly and took off his gloves. Dried blood was dripping from the scabbard on the back of his hand.
“Well?”
He grabbed the glove and looked towards the window.
“What are you doing?”
“… not.”
Derus narrowed his eyes and turned his head again.
“Do you remember Raon?”
“… You mean that Raon?”
“okay.”
“Of course I remember.”
Matio closed her eyes and nodded her head. There was no way I could not remember the guy who had raised him himself since he was a child and had an indelible scar on the back of his owner’s hand on the theme of a hunting dog.
“From now on, watch Raon Sieghard.”
Derus smiled coldly as he removed the scab from the back of his hand.
“Find the traces of the assassin you raised in him.”
“… All right.”
Even though it was a very vain command that Raon Sieghard and Shadow Raon were related, Matio did not have any doubts. It was the same reaction as a dog following its owner’s instructions.
Derus put on the new gloves and smiled eeriely.
“Because I created an opportunity.”
* * *
Raon returned to his dormitory and changed his clothes into a robe.
– Aren’t you going to take a break?
Lars tilted her head, asking why she was changing clothes.
‘There is a welcome ceremony.’
-huh. Humans always hold such annoying events. incomprehensible… .
‘It’s a banquet, so there will be various dishes.’
– What are you doing?
Lars, who was snoring, was standing in front of the door and frowned.
– How much does the main king like banquets! Let’s go right now! All the food is cold!
‘It’s not time yet.’
Raon shook his head. I didn’t know he would think like this, but he was a Demon King who had no time to be bored when he looked at it.
“Whoa.”
He took a deep breath and lay down on the bed.
‘Ras.’
– Is it dinner time?
‘It hasn’t even been a minute yet… .’
He said that one minute after he said he didn’t have time, he was deceived by the last stew, and he was really crazy about food.
‘It’s not that, do you remember the king and my foe you saw today?’
-of course.
‘Which of the two is stronger?’
Based on what Lars said, it was Derus, but I asked again just in case.
– That can be said for sure. The thief who stole your last bowl is stronger.
‘… It is, too.’
Raon frowned.
‘In the meantime, you have crossed the border.’
Twenty years ago, Derus was regarded as the weakest leader in Yuhuang. Since I was the youngest, it was natural, but now it seems that I have crossed that gap.
He knew that he had great talent unlike his stingy personality, but he didn’t know that he would be able to overcome the time wall and catch up with the heads of other Six Emperors.
-do not worry.
‘yes?’
– I will open up a chance for the lord to take revenge on him.
Larsga’s eyebrows looked like cotton candy frowning and patted on the shoulder.
-It’s probably because of that devil that you became a madman who ate nadine bread and was fine, and practiced even after seeing delicious food.
‘uh… .’
It’s honestly not wrong. After training as an assassin, I no longer care about the taste of food.
-The wrath of food is the wrath of the king! I’ll help you punch a fist in his face!
‘her.’
Every time you open your mouth, a story about food comes out. Even now, I couldn’t believe this guy was the Lord of Wrath.
‘So, do you give them any abilities or traits?’
– No, it’s not… .
‘Well then.’
Raon laughed bitterly. There was no way Lars, who was an idiot, could spread his abilities and characteristics.
‘Then what… .’
It was time to ask Lars again. A small movement was felt under the window. I turned my head to see a young squirrel standing in front of the window.
“squirrel?”
I saw small animals such as squirrels in the sword grave and garden, but it was strange to see a squirrel afraid of people approaching the window.
tuk tuk.
The squirrel knocked on the window with his hand as if to open it.
‘Who raised the squirrel?’
Just in case, I tried to open the feeling, but I didn’t feel any special energy from the squirrel.
‘Does that squirrel have a strange energy?’
– It looks like a normal squirrel, but it has a very, very, very subtle sign of mana. It seems to have been tamed over a long period of time.
Lars frowned, saying he didn’t know exactly.
“Well… .”
Raon approached the window with his hand on the sword of the Requiem Sword. He opened the window, alerting him to cut it right away if he did anything dangerous.
tuk.
The squirrel shoved itself through the small open window and entered. With a familiar look, he went down to the drawer below.
“What are you… .”
“Didn’t you open it up sooner?”
Human words flowed out of the squirrel’s mouth. It was awkward, but it was blunt, and it was a tone that reminded me of someone.
Raon widened his eyes as he saw the squirrel smiling like a human.
“Merlin… ?”
