Chapter 355
Raon narrowed his eyes when he saw a middle-aged man in a mercenary suit standing in front of Dorian.
‘A mercenary with the power of a master… .’
There are a large number of Masters in famous families and kingdoms as well as the Six Emperors. Since there are countless warriors, it is only natural that there are several Masters.
However, there is a group with an extremely small number of Masters, even though an uncountable number of warriors belong to it.
mercenary.
Mercenaries who sell their strength and pride for money have a lot of combat experience, but the level of force itself is low because they do not have systematic training.
‘Because talented warriors quickly get away from mercenaries.’
If you have the talent to become a master, you can accumulate much more money, fame, and status by joining a famous family or kingdom than by living as a mercenary.
The only people who remained as mercenaries despite their outstanding talents were those who wanted to become the <Mercenary King> or eccentrics who loved freedom.
‘but… .’
Although extremely rare, the opposite is also the case.
There were also cases where Masters who belonged to prestigious families or kingdoms became mercenaries after being kicked out of an accident or despairing of their skills not increasing.
‘That’s him.’
Raon laughed at the middle-aged mercenary who was touching him with his legs crossed.
‘Mark Goetton.’
He was a knight from the Warner Kingdom, considered to be just below the Six Emperors, and became a master at a young age, but was kicked out after an accident and became a mercenary in despair for not getting out of the lower rank for over 10 years.
It was ‘Nakhwado’ in the meaning of the slander that the nickname obtained in this way was a fallen flower.
He was still a low-master 10 years ago, 20 years ago, and still a low-master.
‘But it’s a little different from what I expected.’
Raon licked his lips at Mark Goetton’s well-forged sword and trained body. He still seemed unable to believe the rumors.
“Come when you are ready!”
Dorian turned his wrist, not realizing that the person in front of him was Mark Goetton, probably still agitated.
“Because I don’t mind anytime.”
“That would be nice.”
Mark Goetton smiled at Dorian’s confident eyes.
“What, what?”
Dorian’s shoulders trembled as if he sensed something strange.
“At that age, with that power, you’ll be a master before you turn 30.”
Mark Goetton narrowed his eyes, lowering his degrees.
“Ah, not so much… .”
“However, there will be no way to rise above the lower ranks of masters.”
“… What do you mean?”
“The rise to Masters is open to those with great talent and perseverance. Even if you are late, if you have talent and train with all your might, one day the path will open. but… .”
A look of futility and despair began to appear in his eyes.
“Those who rise from the lower ranks of the masters need real talent that goes beyond talent. Just like Raon Sieghart, the submaster of your gwangpungdan. Unfortunately, you don’t have that talent.”
“I-I know I don’t have the same talent as Vice Lord. But if you don’t try to the end… .”
“I mean. He’s a narrow-minded guy. It’s filthy narrow, too.”
Mark Goetton raises his sword with a twisted smile. Creepy momentum bloomed from the blade that was as thin as a crescent moon and curved.
“That’s why my stomach hurts when I see a confident kid like you.”
“Ugh… .”
Dorian bit his lip at the cool breeze that seemed to lower the temperature. However, as if he had no intention of backing down, he rolled his sword tightly and lowered his stance.
-hey.
Lars saw Dorian’s eyes and turned his head away.
-Aren’t you going to die like that?
‘I won’t let it go like that.’
No matter how rough it is, I have no intention of causing death or serious injury.
‘All I want is enlightenment.’
– Wake up?
‘okay. Both Dorian and his foul-mouthed sister are making a big mistake.’
Raon looked at Dorian’s back with blue eyes that looked like Glacia flowers had bloomed.
‘This stupid confrontation is for that enlightenment.’

Office in Addis Sepia.
smart smart!
The door opened with an urgent knock, and a young soldier entered and bowed his head.
“Sa, Lord Sanghoe!”
“What is it?”
Addis, who was looking at the documents, slowly raised her gaze. It was a dry look that showed no emotion.
“Are you busy right now, if it’s not important, talk later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the paper again. His eyes turned quickly to see if there was something urgent.
“It’s the youngest boy’s job.”
“hmm… .”
As soon as the word “maknae” came out of the soldier’s mouth, Addis’ eyes, which had been moving left and right like a pendulum, stopped abruptly.
“What is going on?”
Addis raised her head. Clear curiosity permeated his gaze, which had been dry a moment ago.
“The third lady took the youngest boy.”
“Where? Do you know where it is?”

His calm voice rippled like the sound of waves. It was difficult to understand what he was saying.
“It’s a gymnasium for escorts.”
“Do you even know who is there?”
“These are the soldiers recently hired by the third lady. We have Thorton Lovell and Kelmec and Mark Goetten.”
“Two superlatives and one master.”
Addis frowned as she tapped the papers with the pen she was holding. She let out a short sigh and touched her temples.
“Did you take Dorian with you to fight them?”
“I will. He will try to show that the money he has accumulated is higher than that of the youngest boy.”
Rigwin, an old butler standing to the right, nodded.
“No matter how much you hate it, it really doesn’t make sense to touch the maknae right away who came back after 9 years.”
Addis crumpled the paper where the ink spilled. His forehead wrinkled like that paper.
“It is true that the youngest boy is stronger than his peers, but none of the three will be able to defeat him.”
The young warrior put his hand on his chest and bowed.
“If you give me an order, I will go and stop it right away.”
He galvanized himself as if he were only to speak.
“Hmm… .”
Addis didn’t answer and tapped the desk with a pen.
“Did Dorian go alone?”
“no. The swordsman of Sieghart, who came with him, also followed.”
“Right. That’s it.”
He smiled and took out a new document on the right side. He looked down at the papers as if it was nothing.
“Sovereign Lord?”
“Leave it.”
“Yes?”
“With him, nothing big would happen. I told you to leave it.”
“Who is that person… .”
“Raon Sieghart.”
“Raon Zigha… White Sword Dragon!”
The young warrior was frightened and stepped back.
“Why is he here… .”
“They said that he brought Dorian as the head of the Gwangpungdan group… .”
“Well, then, shouldn’t we go further? If the white sword dragon doesn’t interfere with housework, or if he gets involved, a big fight might break out… .”
“It doesn’t happen.”
Addis even smiled faintly as if she was convinced.
‘It can never be.’
As for how much he, as a merchant, knew about the power of an unmanned army, old thoughts came to mind when he saw Raon’s true gaze here.
‘It felt like I saw the heads of the Six Emperors.’
It also felt similar to when I saw the 30-year-old heads, who were somewhat mature, rather than those in their teens or 20s like Raon now.
‘monster. That’s what it is.’
As I said to Raon, I am confident in my eyes to see people, but I couldn’t grasp the vessel of a person called Raon Sieghart.
There was no way a man like that would fall for the third trick. It was sure to break the kid’s plan and be of great help to Dorian.
“And Prosecutor Raon is well qualified to intervene in this matter.”
“yes? what is that… .”
The young soldier who had been standing there in a daze raised his head.
“You, Dorian, and Palen are all very mistaken.”
Addis smiled and tapped the desk.
“Because that child isn’t the only one who has accumulated military power.”
“that is… .”
“You still don’t know? that… .”
“Sovereign Lord.”
Old butler Rigwin, who had been quiet, stepped forward.
“If you don’t finish your work now, you will have to be in the office tomorrow.
“Ah, I guess.”
Addis nodded and cast her gaze at the papers.
“It’s time to see the young master tomorrow, so be sure to prepare.”
“okay. I’ve been waiting for today… .”
He hurriedly shook his head and frowned.
“That’s not it!”
* * *
“Turn it off!”
Dorian let out a suppressed moan as he blocked Mark Goetton’s sword.
‘Eh, what is this person… .’
I thought I would win easily because the energy I felt was weak compared to Totten Mabel, but it wasn’t at all. The difficulty of the projection, the aura emitted, and the physical ability were on a different level.
Just by blocking the attack once, the whole body’s strength drained away.
“I can’t stop even this much… . I must have looked at you too highly.”
Mark Kotten flexibly swung his sword. The blade, imbued with extreme anticipation, fell with an eerie light.
“Huh!”
Dorian unfolded the season of the Ten Gate Hyeonsword. The blue clouds that bloomed like flowers formed a thick film of black air, but Mark Goeton’s Tao tore that strong film at once.
Wow!
Dorian felt the impact of a hammer blow to the chest as he slumped back.
“Hey… .”
I tried to hold back, but a scream came out of my mouth. It seemed that she had suffered an internal injury, seeing her stomach throb like a long ride in her carriage.
‘It wasn’t even a special scheme… .’
Mark Goetton broke his season with a sling that was ambiguous to even call it a swordsman. This meant that there was a huge difference in skill.
‘Even at the highest level, it’s a pole. or not… .’
master.
Dorian’s jaw trembled at the slow approach of Mark Goetton. The excitement that filled her head chilled to the point of chilling when she realized that her opponent was far above her.
“Hey, are you there?”
Mark Goetton did not answer Dorian’s call and fired a cross-slash.
Whoa!
Dorian hurriedly opened the Ten Gate Hyeonsword and Unhyeonbobeop at the same time to counter the attack, but he couldn’t handle the powerful impact and bounced away.
“Ouch… .”
“what?”
Mark Goetton raised his chin as he watched Dorian breathe heavily.
“Seo, what’s your name… .”
“It’s Mark Kotten.”
“Nakhwa too? Huh!”
Dorian, who called the nickname Nakhwa Island, covered his mouth.
“It doesn’t matter if you say it. It is true that my sword fell.”
Mark Goeton’s expression did not change even when he heard the ridiculing tinnitus of Nakhwa Island.
“And I am also your future.”
“Ah, what the hell are you talking about!”
“There is something called a stagnation period for an unmanned person who has reached the master level. It’s a period where your skills don’t improve for a while due to the rebound that crossed the wall.”
“I heard… .”
Dorian nodded stiffly. When Raon became a master, Rimer told me about his stagnation period.
“Some people continue to climb the stairs to the sky without a plateau, but there are people who cannot escape that plateau for the rest of their lives. like me.”
Mark Goetton gave a wretched smile with an indescribable face.
“That’s why, when I see a confident young guy like you, I want to step on him and let him figure out the subject.”
The pottery that bloomed from his Tao gradually began to thicken.
“I don’t like talking too much, but the conclusion is good.”
Palen snorted and pointed at Dorian.
“Take it head first. so that he never raises his head again.”
“Looks like you looked really bad over there.”
Mark Goetton looked back at Palen and smiled. The energy that had been condensed in his Tao gathered, twisted, and made a thick and sharp river.
Woo woo woo!
Dorian swallowed dry saliva at the sound of the mighty river crossing. He neither backed down nor fled, but curled up the sword with both hands.
“Are you going to continue even after seeing the river crossing?”
Mark Goetton frowned at Dorian’s eyes, which trembled in fear.
“I, I am not special compared to the people around me.”
Dorian let out a deep breath as he looked at Mark Goetton.
“My strength and mental strength are all gone.”
There was nothing better than Raon, even compared to the leaders Burren, Runan, and Martha.
Even though I watched their backs the closest, I couldn’t get a single realization of swordsmanship.
‘I just learned one thing.’
That you should never give up.
scary. It was terribly frightening that he would die or be seriously injured in the river, but as his subordinate who watched Raon closest, he could not do anything and kneel down.
Whoa!
Above Dorian’s sword rose the most brilliant light yet.
“I have no intention of winning, but I have no intention of being trampled here ugly!”
“It’s an annoying look.”
Mark Goetton grinds his teeth and moves. The strong air that had accumulated on the blade surged as it gnawed at the space like a saw blade.
“Don’t kneel at once.”
His katana, twisting and rising, turned into red thunderbolts and poured down.
“Aaaaaaa!”
Dorian sighed, thrusting his sword forward.
Dorian screamed and thrust his sword forward. Daesiphyeoncham, the season of the tenmunhyeonsword that defeated Toten Mabel, created a second huge cloud.
Damn it!
The cross-shaped sword filled the air, but it was meaningless in front of the strong sword.
Kwaaang!
The cloud fog that seemed solid parted, and Dorian rolled on the floor coughing up blood.
“Ouch… .”
Dorian tried to stand up immediately, but his neck snapped as if his strength was exhausted. He wasn’t seriously injured, but he couldn’t move his body because of the recoil and physical shock he used all his auras on.
“Ahahahaha!”
Palen burst into laughter as he pointed at Dorian.
“I knew it would be like this. that’s your level No matter how much you hone your swordsmanship, you can’t beat a single mercenary I hired!”
She looked down at Dorian with cold eyes.
“I made money while you wasted your time swinging your sword. Not just that mercenary, money to hire warriors who would trample on you.”
“Ugh… .”
“Before and now, kneeling under me is the best way for you… uh?”
“Huh… .”
Dorian rose, using his sword as a staff. He made eye contact with Palen and gritted his teeth.
“Oh, it’s not over yet.”
“What, what are you doing! You woke up!”
Palen hurriedly stepped back and gestured to Mark Goeten.
“Finish quickly. Break that snout first!”
“Hmm… .”
Mark Goeten walked up to Dorian and winked.
“You wouldn’t look good if you moved in that state, right? The internal injuries are so severe that you may not be able to move for a while.”
“I am very scared. I hate scary things, and I hate being sick even more.”
Dorian drew in his breath and raised his sword. His weak wrists trembled, and his blade looked bent.
“… But I know that now is the time to get up and take up the sword.”
It’s a thought that comes to mind, but Raon isn’t the kind of person who does things like this for no reason. He believed in him and gave strength to his shaking feet.
“I don’t like the look in your eyes more and more.”
The moment Mark Goetton crumpled his face and struck the sword, the red line snapped like a flash war.
Whoa!
The cyferrundo is pushed wildly. What appeared before Dorian’s eyes was Raon’s longsword, which was burning red.
“Why are you interfering? This is our chore!”
Palen frowned and pointed at me.
“No, it is related.”
Raon pushed aside Mark Goetton’s sword and looked down at Palen with cool eyes.
“Didn’t Dorian say that the strength accumulated by you is not worth the money accumulated by you?”
“What!”
“I’m sorry, but Dorian isn’t just swordsmanship.”
He smiled coldly and raised his left hand.
“It’s a little harder than a fairy tale.”
A fairy tale split in two fell from his grasp.
“A bit tougher than a silver coin.”
The second time, silver coins that were crumbled like cookies poured out.
“A bit more sticky than a gold coin.”
Finally, the gold coins crumbled and scattered.
“Because we built a relationship called fate.”
“Destiny? what bullshit is that… .”
“As you boasted about making money, Dorian came to Sieghart and built a relationship. It means I am his strength.”
The black air, burning as thick as the sun, began to oppress Mark Goeton’s blue pottery.
“Me and the other Gwangpungdan swordsmen are ready to risk their lives and raise their swords for this guy. Money can never buy that.”
“Turn it off… .”
Palen’s face twisted at Raon’s cold laugh.
“He kneels too. I will trample on you!”
Palen gnashed his teeth and pointed at Raon.
“I don’t like your eyes any more. It’s about to turn your stomach.”
Mark Goetton frowned and threw his sword away. A fresh blue gale rose above his blade.
“Please understand if it gets a little harsh.”
“Did you say Nakhwa Island?”
Raon c*cked his chin and snapped his fingers. A chill flashed across his blue eyes.
“I will drop your strong energy with my sword.”
