Chapter 390
Fricca frowned at the slowly approaching Raon Sieghart and Gwangpungdan’s shoes.
‘Plain boots are right.’
The Gwangpungdan walked comfortably across this muddy ground, even wearing combat boots that would get in the way when walking through a swamp.
Numerous people have visited this swamp so far, but it was the first time that the whole group walked so leisurely.
‘There… .’
Unlike Raon Sieghart, who exuded empty spirit as if he did not exist here, a chilling madness bloomed in the pupils of Gwangpungdan.
“Ugh… .”
Freeca couldn’t face Gwangpungdan’s eyes and moaned.
‘What kind of people’s eyes are like that?’
I’ve heard rumors that the Gwangpungdan is called the Gwanggyeondan, but it’s more than I imagined. I thought I would be eaten if I kept looking at it, so I quickly lowered my head.
“Ugh… .”
“Um, is that Gwangpungdan?”
“A little bit from what I heard. no, it’s very different… .”
“I can’t even look.”
Wellis and the Rangers also swallowed their saliva, tired of the ferocious energy that emanated from the gangsters.
As if walking on dry land, Raon approached without making the slightest sound and smiled.
“Are they from the Aryan family?”
“Ah yes! My name is Frika, the leader of Team 3 of the Rangers.”
Fricca hid her embarrassment and bent her back.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Raon Sieghart, the head of Gwangpungdan.”
“ah… .”
Raon bowed his head without being rude or excessive. His heart throbbed at the fact that the famous White Sword Dragon greeted him face-to-face.
“Ah, welcome to House Aryan… Whoa!”
Freika raised her head and screamed when she saw the three soldiers behind Raon.
My heart shrank from the energy in the green, black, and purple eyes.
“Ranger? I can definitely feel the nimble energy.”
“Can you fight because you’re insincere?”
“The shoes are unusual.”
“eww… .”
The three of them talked to each other calmly, but their mouths could not be opened due to their energy.
‘Are these the leaders of the Gwangpungdan?’
I heard rumors that the leaders of the Gwangpungdan also showed outstanding performance in the Duel of the Six Emperors, but now that I see them, they are monsters with more presence than just those rumors.
“Put some momentum into it.”
When Raon looked back and lightly clicked his tongue, not only the three leaders, but the entire Gwangpungdan went mad.
It meant that he had complete control over them.
“Then, please guide me.”
“Ah, I see. Start right away… ah!”
Fricca was about to move but stopped. He opened the carriage door behind him and took out his bog boots.
“Vine boots made for walking in swamps. If you wear them, you will be able to move much more comfortably.”
“Then could you give me two?”
Raon nodded and held out his hand.
“Two outlines?”
“Walking in the swamp is part of training, so except for those kids, we’ll go on like this.”
He pointed to two children who were still young. Unlike the other Gwangpungdan swordsmen, it seemed that standing in the swamp was a burden.
“young master! I’ll go like this too! Uncle Mark says he’s helping!”
A girl with pigtails waved her hand vigorously.
“If you do it, I do it too! Vice Lord, I won’t wear them either!”
The sharp-looking boy also clenched his fists as if he would not lose.
“I see. Thank you, but I will decline the boots.”
Raon smiled lightly and shook his head.
“Um, I see. Then let’s go.”
Fricca stretched out her hand and pointed forward.
“Wallis. You guide me in front of me. I’ll clean up and go.”
“Ah, I see.”
Wellis swallowed dry saliva and went forward, followed by Raon and Gwangpungdan.
‘Even that idiot wouldn’t play with a madman.’
Frica took out her shoes and put them back in the carriage, checked the condition of the swamp and the carriage, and followed the group from the back.
Wellis took the lead and bit his lip.
‘ruined.’
What do you say to the executives… .
The Sieghart swordsmen were drenched so they couldn’t move for a while, so I even received money to bring them in, but I couldn’t leave out a single one and it seemed like they were going back.
‘There’s no way to walk on your own without boots… huh?’
As I was walking, looking only at the ground, there was a pale colored area in the swamp ahead.
‘Clear Swamp!’
A swamp with a higher percentage of water because the sand has settled or spread out. If it was there, it was clear that no matter how much it was a fanatic, it would not be able to escape.
‘good.’
Wellis subtly steers the mad wind towards the clear swamp.

Since the sun was setting, the surroundings were even dark, so no matter how strong Raon or Gwangpungdan were, getting their clothes wet would be inevitable.
Wellis naturally pulled the Gwangpungdan into the clear swamp, and then glanced back when Raon, the frontmost, stepped on the swamp. and.
Aaaaaang!
Mud gushed like a fountain and fell with a roar that reverberated throughout the swamp.
Bubbeobuck!
Wellis rolled on the floor, beaten with all the mud.
“Khehe!”
Each drop of mud was as painful as being hit by a fist. I couldn’t get up because I was unconscious.
“Rurrukreuk… .”
As he lay down and was about to get stuck in the swamp, a hand jumped out and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up.
It was Raon. He pulled himself out of the swamp with a soft smile.
“Are you okay?”
“Thank you… Hick!”
I was going to say thank you, but Raon’s eyes were filled with an eerie light. His teeth chattered as if they were saying that he would blow his throat if he joked again.
“I’m sorry!”
Wellis didn’t say thank you, but bent down so that his head touched the swamp.
‘He’s a person you shouldn’t touch… .’
I thought he was a softer person compared to Gwangpungdan, but I was very mistaken. It wasn’t for nothing that I had those monsters under my command.
“Hey! Fool!”
Frica ran from behind and struck Wellis in the back of the head.
“I told you not to!”
He immediately turned around and bowed his head to Raon.
“sorry! Because this guy is so playful. From now on, I will guide you.”
“it’s okay.”
Raon smiled lightly. He pointed forward as if it was nothing.
“Let’s go. I want to arrive before it is too late.”
* * *
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the gray castle wall built over the swamp.
‘Is this the wall of the Aryan family?’
Like the wall that had endured for a long time, I felt a solid yet firm energy.
However, unlike the intact appearance, there were gaps here and there, probably because the repair was not done properly.
-That’s unusual.
Lars frowned at the castle.
– The guy who built this castle seems to be a pretty strong guy.
‘How do you know that?’
– The balance is perfect.
‘balance?’
-When creating a castle, it was perfectly balanced to a level that would be impossible for ordinary humans. Of course, everything is broken now.
As if he had lost interest, he sat down on my shoulder and muttered to me, “Let’s eat.”
‘It’s not wrong.’
The first family head of the Aryan family said that he conquered the swamp of death together with the first family head Sieghart, so it was only natural that he was strong.
“A castle floating on a swamp. It’s lucky.”
Burren nodded his head, wondering if the castle itself was surprising.
“Is that guy’s luck everywhere he goes?”
Martha frowned, not showing any signs of surprise.
“pretty… .”
Runaan’s eyes brightened slightly, as if he liked the look of the castle opposite the swamp.
Quaaaaaa!
While everyone in Gwangpungdan was surprised to see the castle of the Aryan family, the castle gate was pushed open through the swamp.
Somehow the mud from the swamp couldn’t get inside the gate.
A female swordsman walked out of the open castle gate with her brown hair tied up like horsehair. He appears to be in his early 30s, but his actual age seemed older.
‘Is this woman Wendy Aryan?’
It was clear that Judiel’s book had written that she was the only master of the Aryan family and the youngest daughter of the family head.
“You worked hard to come. She is said to be Wendy Arian, who is in charge of the imperial swordsman.”
Wendy Ariane lowered her head as if she recognized this side’s identity at once.
“Thank you for the welcome. My name is Raon Sieghart, the head of Gwangpungdan.”
Raon lowered his head and looked at Wendy’s energy.
‘He’s well-trained.’
It seems that he lacks actual combat experience, but he can feel the sword skill he has steadily trained over a long period of time.
Since he is a beginner, he is weaker than Mark Goetton, but he has the ability to rise high if he trains properly.
‘It’s more than expected.’
I thought that there was only one master in the Aryan family, and the rest of the swordsmen were weak, so I thought they were all broken, but it wasn’t.
At least Wendy Arian was showing an unmanned look.
When Raon was looking for Wendy, Wendy was also looking after Raon and Gwangpungdan.
‘hmm… .’
Wendy narrowed her eyes as she looked at Gwangpungdan, where no one had any mud on it.
‘what?’
Apart from Raon being a master, no one in Gwangpungdan got wet even though they were wearing ordinary shoes.
The only person in the group now covered in mud was one veteran ranger, Wellis.
Looking to the side, leader Fricca shrugged his shoulders as if he was self-employed.
‘It must have been the reverse while playing a joke.’
Looking at the disgrace of Team 3’s vice-captain Wellis, who has stepped on the swamp like land, it seems that the skills of Raon and Gwangpungdan are beyond rumors.
‘That’s not the only surprise.’
Wendy trembled at the sight of Gwangpungdan standing behind Raon.
‘There is no one who lacks one.’
Rumors from the public clamored that only Raon and Limer had to be careful of Gwangpungdan, but looking at it now, none of the Gwangpungdan swordsmen seemed easygoing.
There were only four top-class experts in one master, and others were at the end of the intermediate level or at the upper level.
With the exception of two young children, it was a full line.
‘Is this really Sieghart’s saber force?’
Although swordsmen and officials from Sieghart occasionally came to inspect the swamp of death, it was the first time that they had this kind of momentum.
Wendy lightly tapped her forehead to come to her senses and reached out.
“Please come this way.”
She politely raised her hand to Raon and Gwangpungdan.
“The head of the family is waiting for you.”
“All right.”
Raon nodded and followed her to the center of the Aryan family.
‘It’s gorgeous.’
Wendy walked to the newly built mansion with a gorgeous exterior.
Unlike the fancy buildings, the people guarding this place didn’t feel the proper momentum.
‘It’s more disappointing than I thought.’
Except for Wendy and the prosecutors who assisted her, no one stood out. It seemed to be more indolent than expected.
The Aryan family’s main palace was smaller than Sieghart’s, but it was not pushed back in splendor.
He said that he had a lot of money thanks to local products, and none of the decorations on the wall looked expensive.
“This is the audience room.”
Wendy opened the arched door at the end of the palace. The huge door opened without the slightest creak, as if she had been well oiled.
Passing the brilliant lights pouring from inside the audience room, I saw a platform built like a staircase.
A group of officials from the Aryan family stood on either side of the platform, and an old man with brown hair was sitting on top of it.
He ate so well that his glistening cheeks were firm and his belly was saggy.
Raon stepped on the central red carpet and bowed his head.
“Sieghart’s maddening danju. Raon Sieghart meets the owner of the Aryan family.”
Even if he was a vassal, he was the head of a family with a long history with Sieghart, so he was polite first.
“You are the white sword dragon. It’s a spirit that lives up to its name.”
A greasy voice came from above the podium.
“I had a hard time coming this far. wake up.”
“thank you.”
Raon straightened his back and looked up at the podium.
‘Is that man Aryan’s head, Wigen Arrian?’
If Sieghart and the heads of other families showed their own light and strength, that old man was making a presence using the brilliant lights pouring from the ceiling. There was no intense energy, no firm will, no cold intellect.
-Is that really the head of the household?
Lars frowned as if he was dumbfounded.
-The quality is above average, but the accumulation is so poor!
‘i think so too.’
As the guy said, it seemed that the only thing Wigen Aryan had accumulated was fat.
“How is the King of the North?”
“yes. You are at peace.”
“That’s fortunate.”
Wigen Aryan nodded. He smiled lightly, saying he would see you soon.
“I prepared a banquet for the Gwangpungdan who came all the way here. Let’s enjoy today to the fullest.”
He waved his hand, saying it would be a good time. A gnashing sound came from Wendy behind her.
“Thank you for the welcome, but I will decline.”
Raon shook his head looking at Wigen Aryan.
“I came to House Aryan with a request for support. I don’t know if the work is over. I don’t think this is the time to enjoy a banquet.”
“Kuhm… .”
Wigen showed an uncomfortable expression and tapped the armrest. The flesh of his forearm swayed as if he had been driven by the wind.
“You don’t know, but the water level in the Swamp of Death changes frequently. It’s nothing special here.”
“I heard that not only the water level in the swamp has increased, but also the number of undead monsters.”
“They have to increase in number to become zombies and skeletons. A few arrows can handle it lightly.”
“Undead are monsters that cannot think for themselves. There is also a possibility that a higher-level monster has appeared giving search instructions.”
Raon said exactly what he thought when he came here.
“Kuhmm, isn’t that a prediction?”
Wigen cleared his throat and buried his back in the chair.
“I have lived my whole life on this earth. Something like this happened every 10 or 5 years. It’s not a big deal to worry about.”
“Then why did you ask for support from the family?”
“It’s because the emperor’s sword master is so worried.”
He frowned, saying that this support did not go through their hands, and that Wendy Ariane contacted them independently.
“hmm… .”
Raon only looked at Wigen without turning his head to Wendy.
‘It’s not out of line with expectations.’
The reason Wigen appears so uncooperative is to avoid revealing his incompetence and indolence.
Since the Swamp of Death hasn’t changed in hundreds of years, it must have been a long time since you sent reconnaissance or subjugation, thinking that it would continue to be safe.
If there was a problem with the swamp now, it would be obvious that Sieghart would be reprimanded, so it was clear that he had to somehow avoid this situation and react like that to solve it on his own.
‘If I leave, then they will move.’
but it doesn’t work anymore
The money and pleasure here would have worked for the swordsmen and officials from the Sieghart family, but it meant nothing to the gangsters who only thought about growing up and completing their missions.
“My lord. Even if the situation is the same as before, you need to check… .”
“I am the one who goes!”
Wendy took a step forward and knelt down, but Wigen rather frowned.
“You don’t have to be too hard on yourself. Think of coming here as a break and get some rest. We know this side well… .”
“Like I said, I have to do my job.”
“I don’t know, but you can’t enter the swamp of death without my permission. That swamp is difficult even for rangers to pass through, so let’s take a break… .”
“I’m sorry… .”
Raon looked up. Wigen’s neck trembled at the red eyes like a volcano spitting fire.
“I was entrusted with full authority here by the head of the household.”
Responsibility gives you authority.
Glenn didn’t say that he actually gave full power, but since the gangsters told him to take full responsibility, it wasn’t bullshit at all.
“Me, all rights? what is that… .”
Wigen opened his mouth wide as if he hadn’t expected the word full volume to come out.
“Then you’re saying you’re going to do whatever you want like during the censorship?”
“… … .”
He didn’t answer on purpose, only shooting a stronger gaze. Let Wigen fall into a trap himself.
“No, that is nonsense. No matter how white sword dragon is, it’s only for Dan… .”
As Wigen’s lips trembled, a middle-aged man with a stern expression approached him and whispered to him. It didn’t sound right, but it seemed to convey the fact that the fanatics had made it through the swamp without their special boots.
‘It worked well.’
The little lie drank the water and began to grow on its own. Grabbing the Gwangpungdan and teaching him how to walk on water was rewarding.
“Ouch… .”
Wigen gently bit his molars while watching Raon and Gwangpungdan.
‘Walking in the swamp with those shoes… .’
The fact that he walked through the swamp without special boots means that he is a master who can walk underwater. If the entire Gwangpungdan accomplished the task, it meant that everyone was more than rumored.
‘What are the eyes of the children… .’
As I was looking at Gwangpungdan, my hamstrings felt numb as if I was eye to eye with a beast. The momentum of each person is no joke. Except for two children, there was not a single swordsman who seemed capable of fighting and winning.
‘Are you saying the Gwangpungdan was like this?’
With that level of inaction and momentum, it was not unusual to hand over all power to Glenn.
‘Damn it!’
There was no way. She nodded, hoping that nothing bad would happen to the swamp of death.
“It’s unusual that he refuses to give me a break. You guys do as you please.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Raon politely bowed his head and walked back. When she gave Wendy her eyes to stop, Wigen slammed her on the armrest.
“Wendy. you are male… .”
“Excuse me, but can I go with the Imperial Sword Master? I need to ask you something about the swamp.”
“Okay… .”
Wigen waved his hand as if to take care of it.
“thank you.”
Raon once again lowered his head and turned around. Even though the conversation was over, the Gwangpungdan was glaring at the executives of Wigen and Arian as if they were going to eat them.
‘It’s worth raising.’
It wasn’t just the Lee name of the white sword dragon, but thanks to the fact that everyone in the Gwangpungdan walked the swamp and sprayed strong momentum, they got the right to move freely here. The hard work seemed to be worthwhile, and I smiled naturally.
Raon lightly brushed off the Black Dragon and walked between the Gwangpungdan.
“let’s go.”
