Chapter 387
Raon licked his lips as he saw Loen smiling softly.
‘Is it finally here?’
There was no contact for three months after the first test, the group exhibition with Cheoljeondae, and now it seemed that the second test had been decided.
‘It took a long time.’
Originally, the exam should have been scheduled within a month, but the waiting time seemed to be longer due to the Black Tower aiming for this side and Limer not coming out of the closed building.
-It was boring, but I was happy again.
Lars smirked as he touched his plump cheek. Yua and Helen’s food was so delicious that they gained weight despite being in a spiritual body.
“Do you know what kind of test it is?”
“I don’t know either.”
Rowen shook his head with his usual face. I don’t know if it’s true or false. As an assassin, he was the most difficult to read expression in this family.
“Are the children doing well?”
Rowen stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down.
“Thanks to Loen-sama’s good teaching, I learned quickly.”
Raon nodded and threw the blade in his hand. Bido shot like a beam of light aimed at Martha’s shoulder, which was coming up from the right.
“Shit!”
Martha frowned and pushed her arms and legs at the same time, kicking her off the cliff. He must have tried to avoid Bido by bouncing his body like a beast, but she had already expected it.
Wow!
Bido’s trajectory rotated flexibly and hit Martha’s waist as she tried to hold on to the cliff again.
“Turn it off!”
However, Marta did not let go of the hand that had been planted on the cliff even after being beaten by Bido. She was a tough patient.
‘It’s holding up well now.’
As a leader, Marta developed physical strength and mental strength so that even Rain could not collapse at once. It was embarrassing, but a little creepy.
“You’ve become proficient in secret magic.”
Rowen walked over and smiled.
“Because I have been practicing.”
“May I give you some advice?”
“I will listen.”
Loen is an assassin with the alias Sal King. He must have a good understanding of rain and alcohol, so he raised his ears.
“Lord Budan is currently flying rain swords mainly on his arms. from his shoulders to his fingertips. If you throw with your whole body, you will be stronger and go faster.”
Loen showed off blowing Bido himself.
“From the shoulder to the fingertips… .”
Raon recalled Loen’s hand gesture and recited the phrase of innocence.
With the same level of aura as before, he used Loen’s advice as a stepping stone to shoot Bido.
Rain, which had descended without a sound, rushed toward Martha.
Wow!
Marta, unable to react properly, was hit by Bido on her right arm and began to fall to the ground.
“What if I suddenly raise the difficulty! You F*cking bastard!”
As always, she gave her blessing and disappeared.
“Oh sorry.”
Raon waved to Martha and looked at Loen.
“It definitely makes a difference. thank you.”
“I just reminded you of the basics that you have forgotten for a while.”
“That’s what’s important. I think I know why those kids grew up so quickly.”
Looking at Yua and Julius far below, he smiled.
“Apart from being talented, Yua enjoys everything. Personality itself is the greatest talent.”
Yooa has the talent to finish with a smile no matter how difficult the training is, and to make the people around her smile.
He had a good sense of rhythm and an eye for seeing opponents, so it was perfect for learning the sensory sword.
– Curm! I’m not the king’s pineapple girl for nothing!
This cotton candy doesn’t do anything, so I don’t know why he’s acting proud.
“Unlike Julius’ hard personality, he hates losing. Even things that I couldn’t do originally, I managed to complete with Yua as my rival.”
In terms of talent, Yua was a little above her, but Julius somehow caught up with her, befitting his personality that hated losing.
It was a talent suitable for a hard yet systematic swordsman.
“They’re both fun guys.”
“Heh heh heh.”
Roen brushed his beard down and let out a benevolent laugh.
“You were looking right. It’s not Rimer-sama, but it’s worthwhile to spend when Lord Budan came.”
“Since I brought it, of course I have to take responsibility.”
Not only Yua and Julius, but all the children who were raised as assassins were willing to take responsibility.
“I would appreciate it if you could teach the children when you are not busy.”
“of course.”
Loen looked at Yua and Julius and smiled.
“Then let’s go… hmm?”
He turned around and glared at Mark Goetton, who was closest to the summit.
‘Is it an illusion? No, it’s different.’
Even at the lower level of the master, Mark Goetton, who had been at the bottom, had risen, albeit very slightly.
“… You have grown.”
“You know, too.”

Raon nodded confidently.
“It’s a little bit, but I’ve come up. We will go even higher in the future.”
“That’s great.”
Pure admiration came out for Mark Goetten, who was activated late, and for Raon, who made him that way.
‘A person who changes people… .’
What Addis Sepia and Glenn said now touches me.
A person named Raon Sieghart was truly a being who could have a huge and positive impact on the lives of others.
Raon, whom I felt sorry for at first and thought I was proud of, suddenly started to look bigger. It felt like his huge bowl was reflected in his eyes.
‘If such a child becomes the head of this family… .’
* * *
After Raon asked Loen to help Gwangpungdan train, he entered the Gajujeon.
Severing the cold air that permeated the entire audience room, I walked to the center and knelt down.
“I see the head of the household.”
“It was an unnecessary greeting. Wake up.”
Glenn waved his hand like he was chasing a fly.
“thank you.”
Raon lowered his head and stood up.
“It looks like that crazy training is still going on.”
Federic, the Saint of Rags, who was leaning against a pillar on the right, waved his hand.
“It’s not crazy, it’s just a little tough.”
Raon smiled lightly and shook his head.
“Gwangpungbudanju.”
Glenn let out a heavy voice as if to cut off the conversation between Raon and Federick.
“I called you because Gwangpungdanju hadn’t come out of the closet yet.
“yes.”
Raon lowered his gaze.
‘It’s taking longer than expected.’
After the sparring with the Iron Guard, Rimer suddenly went into the cave behind the main building to practice closing and has not come out until now.
They expected it to come out in less than three days, but it didn’t come out for more than three months, and everyone was in a state of astonishment.
“Originally, it’s correct to wait until Gwangpungdanju comes out, but we can’t postpone the second test forever.”
Glenn’s eyes hardened coldly and he lifted his chin.
“Let’s take the second test with the current Gwangpungdan.”
“All right.”
It was expected from the time I was called here, so I nodded my head without panic.
“Then may I ask what the test is?”
“We’ll drop one of the real family missions and see how it handles it.”
‘also.’
Raon tightened his fingers. It was the same as the way Dohee had told me before.
“Do you know about the Aryan family?”
“I only know that you are one of Sieghart’s vassal families.”
“Aryan is a family that started with Sieghart and has been defending the place called the swamp of death until now.”
“The Swamp of Death… .”
It reminds me of the swamp of death. The Aryan family was located at the western end of Sieghart’s realm and was in charge of protecting the swamp of death where the lower undead came out.
– Swamp of death?
Lars climbed onto the bracelet and licked his lips.
– That’s a pretty grand name. I like it.
‘Actually, it would be bad.’
It had a creepy name called the swamp of death, but the monsters that actually appeared were only low-level monsters such as zombies and skeletons.
The Aryan family was not particularly famous for its military power.
– It’s boring!
Lars said that the steam had leaked and went back into the bracelet.
“This time, I got a call from the Aryan family.”
“which… .”
“They said that the number of undead monsters increased and the water level in the swamp rose. We requested the support of prosecutors to determine the cause.”
Hearing this far made it possible to predict what Glenn would say next.
“The second test given to Gwangpungdan is to go to the swamp of death and figure out the cause of the increase in the number of undead and solve it.”
Glenn rested his chin on his fist and lowered his eyebrows.
“If you think you can’t, tell me now.”
‘Was he considerate?’
There was no Rimer, and I thought that the second test was considered relatively easy because I showed a good figure in the battle with the iron squadron.
“I’ll do it.”
Raon nodded. There is no such thing as a choice anyway. It was, of course, a path that had to be passed in order to move upwards.
“This mission must be completed with only the power of the Gwangpungdan without family support.”
Glenn’s gaze sank fiercely.
“If Gwangpungdan isn’t strong enough to protect the Aryan family and ask for support from the family, the mission ends at that moment.”
“All right.”
It was natural, so I answered calmly.
“When are you leaving?”
“That is your freedom too.”
“yes?”
“Dae has a higher degree of freedom in terms of missions than Dahn. No matter when you start, as long as you complete the mission, that’s it.”
“hmm… .”
Having a lot of freedom is not always a good thing. Because it meant that if there was a problem, I would ask for greater responsibility.
‘I’ll have to be careful.’
It seemed that I had to think, plan, and move much more than before.
“All right.”
Raon lowered his head and looked at Glenn. He knew how to tell me to go back, but he narrowed his eyes and didn’t move.
“Raon Sieghart.”
“yes.”
“… Do you like to drink?”
“yes? uh… .”
My head went blank for a moment at the question I didn’t expect would come from Glenn.
‘What do you mean?’
I don’t understand why you ask me if I like alcohol.
‘It’s alcohol… .’
Of course, I couldn’t eat it in my previous life, and I didn’t really enjoy it in my current life.
I ate twice, but it was a bet with Dohei, and Rimer was the first to say I drank properly.
“It’s not like I can’t eat… .”
“hmm.”
Raon’s words hadn’t finished yet, but the chill in the audience room melted slightly as if a warm breeze had blown in.
“I don’t like it very much.”
He nodded, thinking that the right answer would be to stay away from alcohol as a soldier.
As soon as the words were finished, the slightly softened atmosphere sank several times cooler than before.
‘what?’
Something seems to have gone wrong, but I have no idea why.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I made eye contact with Glenn in silence, more and more incomprehensible.
“Then Lee… .”
“yes?”
“no.”
He shook his head with dry eyes.
“Let’s go.”
“yes… .”
Raon lowered his head with a bewildered expression and left the audience room.
‘Suddenly drinking, what were you thinking?’
He scratched his chin and shook his head.
‘Does the head of household like alcohol?’
– Stupid guy! That’s not it!
Lars snorted as he stepped out of the bracelet.
-If that cool old man suddenly asks about alcohol, isn’t it obvious!
‘Is it obvious?’
– That’s right! It means to buy delicious drinks and snacks nearby!
He waved his finger, asking if he didn’t know that.
-The main king will find out what the most delicious snacks are, so first stop by the famous restaurant there… .
‘Go away.’
* * *
Glen looked down at the center of the throne room where Raon was standing and bit his lip.
‘You say you don’t like alcohol?’
The drinking party with Do-goe was a bet, so it was invalid, and Rimer was his teacher.
‘If this is the case, Rimer and I shouldn’t have bumped into glasses… .’
I thought that my precious grandson had fallen for that elf’s trick, and my hands naturally tightened up.
I wanted to go into ‘the cave’ right away and pluck Rimer’s ear.
Wood Deuk!
The armrest of the throne was crushed because the force was not controlled, and red sparks began to fly in the air.
“Hoo-wook… .”
“Me too.”
As Glenn forced himself to breathe, Federick stepped onto the podium.
“If you want to drink like that, did you say it yourself?”
Fedrick clicked his tongue as he looked at Glenn, who frowned.
“You always scold me, do you understand what Raon is talking about?”
If Glenn had always been good to him, Raon would have understood it by saying that he wanted to have a drink, but when the person who terrified him every time he saw him asked if he liked alcohol, he wouldn’t have been able to figure out what it meant.
“Curm!”
Glenn cleared his throat and shook his head.
“That, that’s not it. Originally, alcohol should be learned from adults, but since I drank with Dogoe, a drunkard, and Rimer, a lark, I was just a little worried. I am not interested!”
He shook his hand quickly, if not much.
“Well, that’s right. Neither of you are good adults to learn to drink.”
Federick said that was true and swept his beard.
“Then shall I set up a drinking party with Raon?”
“I-really!”
Unlike Glenn, who said he was not interested, he stretched his neck like a giraffe.
“okay.”
“You mean before departure?”
“I’ll be busy preparing for the mission, so that’s hard. I will prepare it as soon as I return.”
“Kuhm! That, right.”
Glenn nodded awkwardly and went down the podium to the room where he and Addis had been drinking before.
“Hmm… .”
He started to look around the drinks while singing a low hum.
“The first drink is, of course, this. No, this one is a little softer. no. to the finest… .”
A slight blush appeared on his face as he searched for a drink to drink with Raon.
“Really… .”
Federick laughed at that.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such an idiot grandson.”
* * *
Raon did not immediately start with the Aryan family, but taught the Gwangpungdan how to walk in the swamp at an indoor training ground with a swimming pool.
Arriving at the swamp of death, you don’t know what will happen, so it was right to prepare to some extent.
“The trick to walking in a swamp is similar to walking on water. It is to keep the balance of the body by equalizing the flow of the water with the aura emitted from the feet.”
“Well, is that as easy as it sounds… .”
Burren frowned as he fell into the water.
“Only you can walk on water at expert level!”
Martha clenched her fists in anger.
“The water feels good… .”
Runan did not step on the water with his feet, but fell asleep while swimming backstroke.
“lol!”
“hey! Excuse me!”
The infant was swimming and playing, and Julius was busy stopping her.
“fist.”
Raon clapped his hands, attracting everyone’s attention.
“As you said, walking on water is only possible at the master level. However, the swamp is a mixture of water and sand, so you can walk on it.”
The swamp takes longer to submerge than water, so if you are at the level of Gwangpungdan, you can walk.
“Start all over again.”
After giving training instructions to the Gwangpungdan swordsmen, he stepped back. Perhaps it was because her skills had improved, she felt the energy from the outside and held out a little longer than before before falling into the water.
‘I can survive in the swamp if I train for about three days.’
If he practiced a little more, walking through the swamp seemed to be enough.
‘Sir Mark was able to do it from the beginning.’
The Master, Mark Goetton, could of course walk on water, so if it was a swamp, he could move freely like land.
‘Maybe we can leave next week.’
Raon nodded his head in satisfaction and was about to order the next training when Dohae came into the training ground.
“It’s something that came to you and your pocket.”
He put down the two wooden boxes he had brought with him.
“thank you.”
Raon smiled at the two gray hammers engraved on the outside of the box.
‘It’s finally arrived.’
It was a gift from Borgos, the head of the Gray Hammer Guild, and his apprentice.
“Dorian!”
Raon gestured to Dorian, who was upside down in the water, and opened the first box.
As Dorian had ordered, a heavy sword was contained.
“Did you call me?”
Dorian came panting.
“It is your sword.”
I handed him the sword that was in the box.
“oh! Ohhh!”
Dorian immediately drew his sword. The blue flowing sword, like the water in a swimming pool, radiated intense energy.
“It’s heavy and fits my hand perfectly! But the sword feels a bit cold… .”
“You feel right. The drake we caught was cold.”
If you make a weapon out of a monster that has an original attribute, that attribute will naturally dwell in it. Dorian’s sword also had a fairly strong cold air flowing through it.
“Go, thank you!”
“I should say thank you to the Gray Hammer Guild, not me.”
“It’s because of the Vice Lord that I received this sword!”
Dorian nodded in thanks again.
“Because it’s okay. Contact me later… hmm?”
Raon stopped while opening the second box. His pupils swelled in a voluptuous way.
‘This… .’
The box contained a completely different Bido than expected.
