Episode 1036
“Did you just say that it was the headquarters of the White Blood Cult?”
Glenn sat up from his throne as if he had heard something he had never expected. The news that the location of the White Blood Cult headquarters had been discovered seemed shocking to him as well.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Raon nodded while meeting Glenn’s trembling eyes.
“However, since I have inherited the memories, I have not yet found the exact location.”
“What does that mean?”
Glenn frowned as if he didn’t understand.
“From beginning to end. Explain what happened there.”
He sat down on his throne again and lowered his arms as if he would listen to the whole story.
The grandfather, who had been eager to hear about his grandson’s activities, quickly erased the smile on his lips and revealed the cold gaze of a head of a large family.
“As soon as we went out to sea, we encountered the blue wolf that Rabawin had mentioned. After that… .”
Raon explained everything that happened during the mission to Glenn, Cheryl, and Roen.
“…After that, before the sea spirit left, he engraved in my mind the location of the White Blood Cult headquarters that he had seen.”
When he met the sea spirit’s forehead, the location of the White Blood Cult that he had seen came to mind.
Since it was a vivid memory, as if he had experienced it himself, he would be able to find the headquarters of the Baekhyeol Church if he could just find that place.
“… So where is the White Blood Church?”
Glenn exhaled and clenched his jaw.
“The seabed.”
Raon closed his eyes and thought of the huge white city that was submerged in the sea.
“The headquarters of the White Blood Church is under the sea.”
It was hard for even he, who inherited the memories of the sea spirit, to believe that the White Blood Cult was hiding its vicious blood in the depths of the sea.
“It seems to be somewhere on the route leading up to the northern sea from the territory of the Kusar Pirates. However, I haven’t been there myself, so it will take a considerable amount of time to find it.”
Even if one had the memories of the sea spirit, it would obviously take a lot of time and effort to find its exact location.
“Are you sure?”
Glenn lifted the hand that was holding the throne and touched his chin.
“If it’s a memory passed down from a spirit, isn’t it possible that I’m seeing things wrong?”
“I am sure.”
Raon nodded without hesitation.
“The sea spirit left me with vivid memories that made me feel like I was really there, rather than just a fleeting memory. The city of the White Blood Cult is definitely under the sea.”
I clenched my fists as I thought of the white city protected by the fog on the seabed.
“Hmm… .”
Glenn took a quick sip.
“I also agree with Raon’s opinion.”
Rabawin raised his hand, removing the blindfold that was covering his good eye.
“While preparing to return to the clan, I inspected the White Blood Cult’s sailing ship and noticed something unusual.”
“What’s unusual?”
Glenn asked, turning his gaze to Lavawin.
“Yes. There was a huge water tank inside the sailing ship that sucked up seawater and stored it. It seemed that the water was stored inside and the difference in density caused the ship to sink to the bottom of the sea.”
Lavawin bowed his head, saying that it was a device that was not found on regular ships.
“Where is that sailboat?”
Glenn lowered his eyebrows as if he wanted to see for himself.
“We originally planned to store it in the harbor, but we deliberately sank it because we were afraid that the White Blood Cult might notice that our location had been discovered.”
Raon lowered his chin slightly as if he hadn’t noticed the secret of the White Blood Cult sailboat, cutting it into four pieces and sinking it to the bottom of the sea.
“I have something to tell you too.”
Martha stepped forward, biting her trembling lips.
“Tell me.”
Glen nodded slowly, as if to show consideration for Martha, whose emotions were running high.
“The Nine Apostles did not panic even though they knew that the Gwangpungjeonju was coming to support them, and said that there was a separate escape route. It was clear that they were trying to escape into the sea by using the sailing ship’s functions.”
Martha clenched her fists, now understanding the relaxed attitude of the Nine Apostles.
“The bottom of the sea… .”
Glenn let out a short sigh as he looked out the window where the sunlight was streaming in.
“Even if there is a memory of the sea spirit, it won’t be an easy place to search.”
“you’re right.”
Raon nodded heavily.
“It’s located quite deep in the sea, so it won’t be easy to approach, and if discovered, it’ll be difficult to escape.”
The location that the sea spirit had shown was a place that was difficult for even experts to enter, let alone ordinary people.
Even if you find the location, it’s not a place you can raid right away.
“Even if it’s dangerous and difficult….”
Glenn smiled as he looked at Raon.
“You will go.”
“Of course.”
Raon bowed his back, saying that it was natural.
“I’m speechless that as soon as I get back, I’m being given an even more difficult mission.”
Glenn put his finger to his forehead, as if he was truly sorry.
“Don’t say that. I am the one with the spirit’s memories, so of course I should go.”
Raon shook his head calmly, saying it wasn’t anything like hard work.
“me too….”

Martha chewed her lip and raised her hand.
“I would like to go too.”
She also stood next to him, saying she wanted to volunteer for the mission to find the location of the White Blood Cult headquarters.
“Hmm….”
Glenn also knew Martha’s circumstances, so he couldn’t answer right away and let out a low groan.
“Martha.”
Raon let out a deep breath and looked back at Martha.
“Please! I can do it too… .”
“Your job isn’t to find the White Blood Cult.”
He shook his head firmly, looking into Martha’s trembling eyes.
“You need to become a little stronger while I search for the location of the White Blood Cult headquarters. As it is now, you are of no help in the fight against the White Blood Cult leader.”
Raon told her the cold hard truth and reminded her of what she had to do.
“If you want to create even the slightest gap in the White Blood Cult Leader, swing your sword with all your might.”
“eww….”
Martha looked into Raon’s sunken red eyes and lowered her trembling hands.
“okay.”
She bit her lip and lowered her head.
“I will definitely do my best to help you.”
Martha didn’t seem to be dead, but rather came back to life and gritted her teeth with confidence.
“You too.”
Raon patted Martha’s shoulder lightly and looked down at the Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“We don’t know when or where an all-out war with the White Blood Cult will break out, so we should build up our military power even a little.”
“yes!”
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors shouted that they would train to the death while keeping their posture straight. Everyone looked at Martha’s trembling shoulders and clenched their fists until blood flowed to their palms.
“The concubine… .”
Runaan walked up to Martha and bumped her shoulders lightly.
“cold?”
“little….”
“… … .”
She held Martha’s trembling hand without saying a word. Normally, they would have said they were awkward and left each other, but today, she held her hand tightly and did not let go.
“When will you leave?”
Glenn looked at Marta and Runaan and smiled faintly before calling Raon.
“Since it’s not my memory, I don’t know when it will disappear, so I plan to leave right away at dawn tomorrow.”
Raon raised his gaze, saying that he didn’t think he could delay any time.
“by yourself?”
“Yes. It’s easier for me to move around on my own… .”
“No matter what, I can’t send him alone to such a dangerous place.”
Glenn shook his head as if to say he would attach someone to him.
“A clumsy person will only be a nuisance.”
“It won’t be awkward.”
He turned his gaze to the right and clenched his chin.
“Roen.”
“Heh heh heh.”
As soon as Roen heard Glenn’s call, he stepped forward with a gentle smile.
“Your Majesty, I ask you to take good care of me.”
He bent down with his hands in front of his chest.
“hmm….”
Raon smacked his lips as he watched Roen smiling faintly.
“Mr. Roen, you definitely can’t refuse.”
Roen was an assassin known as the King of Sal. Although he was weaker than him, he would certainly be of great help in this kind of exploration mission.
“Please take good care of me too.”
Raon bowed his head towards Roen.
“Then you must be tired, so let’s disperse now.”
Glenn patted the armrest of the throne, telling everyone to return to their positions.
“for a moment.”
Raon called out to the Gwangpungjeon inspectors who were about to leave the audience room.
“You can tell me that the White Blood Cult was behind this incident, but don’t tell anyone that you found a clue about the White Blood Cult headquarters. Not even your family.”
The whirlwind inspectors, especially Martha, gave instructions on keeping secrets while looking into her eyes.
“yep!”
“You know, we keep our mouths shut!”
“Don’t worry!”
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors nodded as if they would not say anything even if a knife was put to their necks and left the audience room.
“Then I will go too.”
“Laon.”
As Raon was about to leave the audience room, saying he would prepare to search, Glenn pulled away.
“Looks like you’ve grown up again.”
Glenn seemed to sense the change in himself and smiled softly.
“I learned a little more about the martial arts of the mind sword while fighting the rampaging sea spirit.”
“Yes. I feel your heart becoming stronger and your sword becoming sharper.”
He laughed, saying that he could tell the sword’s changes just by looking into its eyes.
“And dealing with children too.”
Glenn lowered his eyes and opened them again, looking at where Martha and the whirlwind inspectors had been.
“It’s become a proper Jeonju now. Later on… um.”
He tried to continue speaking, but then closed his mouth again, as if he thought it was not yet the time.
“Raon. Confirming the location of the White Blood Cult headquarters is important, but always think of yourself first.”
He advised me to back off without looking back when I was in a dangerous situation.
“I will keep that in mind.”
Raon left the audience room after saying that he would definitely remember those words.
“Roen.”
Glenn turned to Roen and nodded.
“Please. You can use ‘that’ too.”
“Don’t worry.”
Roen nodded with a hollow laugh. His laugh was different from his usual easygoing self, but there was a deep seriousness to it.
“I will serve you even if it means giving up my life.”
***
“Ahh… .”
Martha frowned as she looked at Runaan’s hand, which still had warmth in it.
‘Why are the hands of a guy who uses cold air so warm!;
I’m so embarrassed, I’m being comforted by that brat!
Runaan, who had always been unpleasant to see, approached her carefully as if reading her mind and comforted her with words and body heat.
I felt embarrassed but also happy because the guy I thought of as a rival seemed to have become a friend with whom I could share my heart.
‘and….’
I bit my lip as I recalled Raon’s strong back, even though he had to go on a life-threatening mission without any rest.
‘Raondo too.’
Through this mission, I realized clearly that Raon remembered the promise he made to himself to fight together with the White Blood Cult Leader, and was trying to keep it.
‘No, not to that extent.’
It was clear that Raon was not only planning to stop the White Blood Cult leader, but also to drive out the demon’s soul himself and get his mother’s body back.
I felt his clear will from the sword he used last.
‘He’s an idiot.’
When I thought of Raon, who would move forward without looking back on the path he had decided to take even in a life-threatening situation, my face grew hot and my fingertips trembled.
‘I can’t help that fool right now.’
All I have to do is practice.
As Raon said, he should not act clumsily, but should become stronger even if it means saving time for eating and sleeping.
If we approach the White Blood Cult Leader and awaken Mother’s spirit, our chances of winning will increase even a little.
“I’m back.”
Martha opened the door to the Black Tortoise Hall and went inside, vowing to train with all her might.
“Martha?”
Denier, who was standing in front of the garden, opened his eyes wide as he looked at himself.
“Are you back now?”
“Yes! I just reported to the lord a little while ago.”
Martha nodded, saying she had just gotten back.
“You look like you’ve had a hard time.”
Denier narrowed his eyes with pity as he looked at Martha with her face burnt.
“Other guys have had more troubles than me.”
Martha scratched her head and let out a short sigh.
“Because fools think about me a lot….”
Just by meeting Baekhyeolgyo, he recalled the prosecutors who had comforted and cared for him and smiled faintly.
“Well, can you tell me what happened?”
Denier licked his lips as if curious when he heard that.
“You’ll find out anyway, so I’ll tell you…”
He told me everything, including that the ones who raided the port were the White Blood Cult, that he fought and defeated the Nine Apostles, and that he purified the sea spirits they had been controlling.
“You’ve achieved a great feat by defeating the Nine Apostles! Somehow your sword aura feels different than before!”
Denier raised his hand and patted Martha on the shoulder as if he had done a good job.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“I suffered some internal injuries, but I’ll feel better if I rest.”
Martha shook her head, saying there was no need to worry.
“and….”
I was about to tell what happened after that, but then I remembered Raon’s cold eyes and closed my mouth.
‘I told you not to even tell your family.’
Raon kept his mouth shut again, as he had told him not to tell anyone about the White Blood Cult search.
“Martha?”
Denier put strength into the hand that was holding his shoulder as if asking what was going on.
“Oh, no. I’m just tired and need to rest.”
Martha smiled awkwardly, saying she would have to go in first.
“Oh, yeah. You’ve worked hard. Get some rest.”
Denier put his hand down and stepped back as if to say he would talk later.
“Yes. Okay.”
Martha bowed to Denier and entered the mansion.
“… … .”
Denier’s mouth smiled happily at the sight of his proud daughter, but his eyes were icy and emotionless.
***
Raon returned to the 5th Yeonmujang’s quarters instead of the annex and began preparing to leave for the sea again.
-Why did you come here!
Lars frowned as if he didn’t understand.
-We have to live by the sea again, so let’s at least eat some home-cooked meals!
The guy thumped his shoulder with a round fist, as if he was upset that he couldn’t get the meal he had been waiting for. Of course, it was just a massage.
‘I can’t help it. If I tell them I’m leaving right after I get back from the mission, they’ll worry.’
Silviana, it was obvious that if I explained everything to Edgar, they would both get worried, so it was better to just leave as if I had never returned from the mission.
‘My sister will be angry too.’
Even though Sia’s mental age had increased, she still thought of her as a younger sibling who needed to be protected.
It was not the time to meet her because she would have been angry if I told her I was leaving right away.
-Ugh… .
Lars wanted to argue, but he let out a low groan, as if he thought she wasn’t wrong.
-Then, instead of eating at the dance hall for dinner, go out and buy something to eat! Especially for dessert, eat some bead ice cream!
The guy bared his teeth and gritted his teeth, saying he couldn’t give in any more.
‘Okay, okay. Okay.’
Raon let out a short sigh and shook his head.
‘Let’s go after we’re done getting ready.’
After finishing preparing for the mission, he pushed Lars away, saying that he would buy him whatever he wanted to eat.
“First, tools to disguise yourself, food, and….”
It was when Raon opened his subspace pocket, licking his lips.
Kuuuung!
The door to the inn opened roughly, and Evelyn came in, dressed in a purple robe.
“Uh, Evelyn?”
Raon let out a sigh as he watched Evelyn enter the house confidently as if it were her own and sit on the bed.
-Wow, how did a madwoman get here!
Lasdo opened his mouth wide in surprise, not feeling any movement.
“If it’s an exploration mission, I have to go too.”
Evelyn smiled, saying that it was her area of expertise.
“Especially if you’re underwater, you’ll need my help even more, right?”
She nodded leisurely, saying that she would definitely go with me.
“hmm….”
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he looked into Evelyn’s calm purple eyes.
‘That’s not wrong.’
Evelyn can borrow the body of an animal and is also skilled in the magic of suffocating. If she is present, it will be easier to search without being noticed by the White Blood Cult.
“If you could help me, I would be happy to help you… .”
Raon frowned at Evelyn.
“How did you know I was going on a mission to investigate the White Blood Cult?”
I told Yua and Julius to tell them that I didn’t come back, but I don’t know how Evelyn found out and came all the way here.
“You wouldn’t… .”
Raon took out the squirrel doll he had previously received from Evelyn.
“Did you install a wiretapping spell on this wooden doll?”
Even if Evelyn was not of sound mind, she would never have installed magic in the audience room, so it was clear that she had done something to this doll.
“no.”
Evelyn shook her head confidently as if to say absolutely not.
“Oh, no? Then how…?”
“That doll doesn’t only have eavesdropping magic.”
She smiled smugly and slyly, as if the magic she had installed on the doll was nothing more than a wiretapping spell.
“uh….”
Raon held his breath as he felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
-And, the madwoman… .
Lars screamed, clutching his head as if it was coming.
-The madwoman has returned!
