Chapter 391
As soon as Raon left Gajujeon, he turned around and saw Wendy Arian.
“Our members haven’t had dinner yet, so can we have a meal first?”
-Oh oh! What are you guys up to!
Lars jumped out of the bracelet like lightning, as if he hadn’t expected to eat right away. Even his face brightened at the thought of filling his stomach.
-Order the specialties you’re told to! Tell them to dedicate the food they do best here!
‘Support your belly fat.’
Raon pushed Lars away and asked him to prepare meals and lodging.
“of course!”
Wendy nodded her head with hot eyes that seemed to have lit a fire. Seeing her power in her voice, she seemed thrilled to hear the conversation with Wigen.
“Poem, meal? Did you ask to eat first?”
“For that guy to prepare food first, will the sun rise in the west tomorrow?”
“Will you take care of me to sleep?”
Burren, Martha, and Runan looked this way with their eyes wide open, probably knowing that they would start their mission right away.
“You’ve never been hungry.”
Raon frowned and shook his hand. He never slept well, but he always prepared food.
-Didn’t you make them eat only grass in the mountains!
‘That’s rice too.’
Where can you eat even grass in the wild? Also, rice is rice.
“Frica.”
As Wendy gestured aside, Frica, the leader of the 3rd Ranger group, who had disappeared after guiding her to this place, approached.
“Guide the Gwangpungdan prosecutors to accommodations and restaurants.”
“Come this way.”
Frica carefully bowed her head and led the Gwangpungdan to the right.
Raon didn’t go to the restaurant and went to Wendy’s side.
“Daejeon Hwangjeon-nim, please talk to me.”
“All right.”
Wendy nodded and pointed to the left.
“Let’s go over there.”
She said that there was a suitable place to talk and walked forward.
-Hey! You devil!
When Raon tried to follow Wendy, Lars grabbed him by the collar.
-Why don’t you follow me!
‘I have to get information about this place.’
After talking with Wigen, I realized. The Aryan family is more ruined than you think. The head of the household and the executives were stagnant and corrupted, and the entire family was buried in mud.
‘Is that why he told me to take responsibility?’
If you think about it now, Glenn may not have simply solved the problem in this swamp, but he may have given instructions to change the Aryan family and come back.
-Do you know who the most evil guy in the world is?
‘well? Is it the devil?’
-He’s the one who gave me hope and then took it away! it’s you!
Lars screamed and shook the collar he was holding.
‘I’m going to eat something today. don’t worry.’
I hit the forehead of the rampaging Lars and slammed it on the floor.
– Kww!
Raon left Lars’ scream behind and looked at the people inside the family.
‘It’s fortunate.’
Unlike the executives of the family, whose eyes were stained with indolence and desire, the condition of the family members was not so bad.
Although I was worried about the current situation, I felt the disposition of having led a hard-working and sincere life.
‘It’s probably thanks to that prosecutor.’
Wendy Aryan is the only upright tree in the family’s flower bed. If it weren’t for her, she would have changed not only the members of the Imperial Sword Corps, but those people as well as her officers.
As she was organizing her thoughts on the Aryan family, Wendy’s steps stopped.
“This is it.”
The place she guided me to was on top of the western wall overlooking the swamp of death.
There was an atmosphere of its own with the moonlight pouring through the fog and the soft lighting. If Burren had seen her, she would have been muttered that she was tasteful again.
“Not bad, right?”
Wendy smiled lightly as she leaned her back against the castle wall.
“It’s good.”
Raon nodded and stood at the end of the wall. Even though it was late at night, his transcendent senses pierced the swamp of death.
‘It’s really only zombies or skeletons.’
It was impossible to see far away because of the thick fog, but the only monsters around here were weeping zombies and creaking skeletons.
‘but… .’
There are many.
Contrary to Wigen’s words that the number of undead monsters increased slightly, there were quite a lot of signs.
If they all gathered at once, they would block the western road.
Raon pointed to the swamp of death and looked at Wendy.
“When was the last time you went out on patrol?”
“… It was last October.”
Wendy lowered her head in embarrassment.

“Last October… .”
Since more than four months had passed since the year had changed, it meant that he hadn’t gone out on patrol for more than half a year. It was a serious matter that could not be laughed off.
“It didn’t even go all the way.”
Wendy bit her lip, saying she had never been to the end of the swamp of death.
“Did the head of the family interfere?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wendy, whose face was blushing. She said that she couldn’t go out without her permission, so it was quite possible for her.
“yes. Originally, when going out for reconnaissance, the reconnaissance team and two officers. Or the family head has to leave. I need someone else besides me… .”
“No one had it.”
“yes. I tried to convince them somehow, but the head of the family said that there was no need for reconnaissance.”
“It’s not that it’s unnecessary, it’s probably because it’s annoying.”
The executives of the Aryan family, whom I saw earlier in the audience room, were no different from the head of the household, Wigen.
When Gwangpungdan built up muscles through training, they built up fat through pleasure, so they wouldn’t have moved their heavy bodies.
It was to the point where Wendy, who was now in front of her, looked rather strange.
“you’re right.”
Wendy sighed and nodded.
“That’s why Raon-nim, who seized the head of the household as soon as he came here, looks even more amazing.”
“It’s nothing. Look at those people.”
Raon smiled lightly and looked away.
“How is the swamp?”
“The water level in the swamp has risen by more than 50cm compared to before. If it fills up a little more, there is a possibility that the swamp will seep through the gates.”
Wendy frowned, saying that this was the first time this had happened, and she didn’t know what trouble would arise.
“Then how much has the number of undead increased?”
“It has increased more than five times compared to last year.”
“Five times.”
“It has happened before that the water level in the swamp rose and the number of undead increased, but it was the first time that there was such a big difference, so I had no choice but to ignore the objections of the superiors and call for support.”
“Good job.”
Raon nodded. To be honest, the Aryan family is weak.
It’s fortunate if it’s not a big deal, but if a powerful monster was born from that depth, the people here couldn’t stop it.
“So sorry.”
Wendy bent deeply.
“I asked for backup, but you won’t be able to accompany me on reconnaissance tomorrow. It’s obvious that the head of the household will stop you from moving, saying that you have to protect this place.”
As it was to some extent expected, I quietly waited for her next words.
“Instead, we will send 3 teams of scouts. I can’t say I’ve taken over everything, but I’ve put a lot of my breath into it, so I’ll be able to move comfortably.”
Wendy bowed her head again saying she was really sorry.
“it’s okay.”
Raon smiled coldly as he looked at Gajujeon behind him, not at the swamp of death.
“Because I’ve learned that there’s not just one thing to clean up.”
* * *
The audience room of the Aryan family.
Raon and Wendy left, but Wigen and the executives remained there.
“My lord.”
The pot-bellied commander under the podium raised his head and gnashed his teeth.
“Are you going to let that arrogant youngster stay like this?”
“you’re right. If we leave it as it is, it will wander through our family as if it were the main room of our own house.”
The finance officer nodded, wearing a ring full of hands as skinny as a skeleton.
“You can’t leave it alone.”
“I have to stop it somehow… .”
“If there’s a problem with the swamp, things get bigger!”
Other executives also raised their voices, joining the general and finance ministers.
“What if I don’t let it go?”
Wigen frowned and lowered his gaze.
“Are you guys going to deal with that monster who reached the Master Intermediate level at the age of 20?”
“That, that… .”
The finance minister bit his lip, unable to answer.
“Don’t just be angry, think and speak.”
Wigen let out a cold glare and continued.
“How are you supposed to stop those who have not only force, but also justification!”
If Raon had applied pressure only with his skills, he would have endured somehow, but he had the justification that Glenn had delegated full power.
They didn’t give me a chance to do tricks, so there was no way.
“Did you see their eyes?”
“yes?”
“The eyes of the gwangpungdan guys!”
Gwangpungdan’s gaze behind Raon was so frightening that his heart sank. It was like looking into the eyes of a mad dog, not a human.
“I asked for a banquet, and as soon as Raon refused, he looked like he was going to kill me. It was a mad dog.”
Wigen’s lips trembled as he recalled the bitter madness of the Gwangpungdan.
“Um… .”
“Bah, the way… .”
When the officers of the Aryan family were at a loss for what to do, the door to the audience room opened, and a middle-aged man with a well-trained body entered. He was Bane, the leader of the Rangers.
“You don’t have to worry too much.”
Bane bowed his head to Wigen.
“It’s obvious that the gwangpungdan will take 3 sets of rangers tomorrow, so I wrote down some numbers.”
“Didn’t that number work today? Not a single one of them got wet and arrived intact, but what!”
Wigen clicked his tongue as he looked at Vander.
“So this time I seduced the leader.”
“Frica?”
“yes. Promising an executive position, I instructed him to guide me to a place where there would be nothing. The swamp of death is foggy, so it will be difficult for even a white sword dragon to navigate.”
Vainder smiled, saying that the Gwangpungdan would return without finding anything.
“After that, why don’t you send the youngest lady to sort out any unforeseen circumstances?”
“Kuhm!”
Wigen nodded slowly. The thick flesh swayed together.
“In addition, I sent a message to him as well.”
“already?”
“yes. The sooner things get done, the better.”
Binder calmly lowered his head.
“As expected, you are the only one.”
Wigen tapped the armrest and smiled broadly.
“If this is done well, there will be a big prize for you!”
“thank you.”
Binder lowered his head and curled up the corners of his mouth.
“Look forward to it.”

“Haha.”
Crane yawned loudly and set the fork down on an empty plate.
“Our Vice Lord doesn’t know what a break is. never rest.”
He sighed, asking if the welcome party was okay.
“I didn’t go on purpose.”
Burren frowned at the crane.
“As you may have seen, the executives here are different from the heads we know. It’s annoying having to be involved, so I cut it off first.”
He shook his head, saying Raon did a good job.
“It’s clear that Raon is crazy, but he’s really crazy.”
Martha clenched her chin in her fist and smacked her lips.
“He’s the kind of guy who would never do anything that would cause trouble for us or Sieghart.”
“I know that, but it’s a bit disappointing. Not being able to rest… .”
Crane frowned, saying his shoulders and knees ached.
“I thought I would take a day off, but now I want to fight faster. I also want to train.”
Dorian smiled as he stroked his belly sac.
“what? You are finally crazy! It must be a training holic like that monster!”
“Didn’t you feel it today? that we have grown.”
“Ah, that… .”
Crane nodded slowly.
“That is not true.”
Not only in Sieghart, but thanks to continuing training throughout the journey, he was able to walk through the swamp as if it were flat.
‘There… .’
Perhaps because he practiced walking on the surface of the water, his achievement in walking increased rapidly. The level of martial arts was also elevated, and he was able to practice swordsmanship and footwork as if he had become a different person than before.
“Do you know what that flower is?”
Dorian pointed to a blue flower in a bottle in the center of the table. The Gwangpungdan all looked at the flower.
“It is a flower named Malean, which is red in nutrient-rich normal soil and blue in acidic soil.”
He smiled softly as he touched Malean.
“Unlike this flower, we are growing red in the nutrient-rich soil called Raon.”
Dorian looked up at the frozen crane and raised a finger.
“This is what I felt while going around with Vice Lord. He never does anything meaningless.”
I definitely felt it at Ha Bun-seong and Sepia Sanghoe, which I went to this time.
Raon was a person who would give appropriate rewards and answers if he followed them properly.
“Neither do I.”
Mark Goetton nodded as he put down his cup of tea.
“I met Raon very late compared to everyone, but I have no regrets. It’s because the skills I’ve grown in the short time I’ve been with him have surpassed mine over the past ten years.”
He smiled, saying that it was a grace that he would have to repay over the course of his life.
“Well, that’s right.”
“Apart from Wendy-sama, there was no one who looked stronger than us.”
“Because I can feel it growing up.”
The members of the Gwangpungdan all smiled and nodded.
“Then there is nothing you can do.”
Burren smiled lightly and clenched his fists.
“I have no choice but to keep following him so that he doesn’t get upset.”
He twitched his fingers, saying that the good gwangpungdan is going to be patient.
“that’s right.”
Martha snorted as she rose from her chair.
“That bastard. If not us, who will follow.”
She stood up to say goodbye.
“Let’s go to bed.”
Runaan nodded, wearing a sleeping cap on his head.
Gwangpungdan stood up without hesitation. Before going to the restaurant, we headed to the accommodation where we stopped by first.
Everyone left, and Raon walked out from behind a column in the dining room as the clerks removed the dishes.
‘It’s extraordinary.’
I thought he would hate it because he forced me to practice, but I didn’t expect him to think like that.
– Originally, people need to talk to know the relationship between people. You just can’t figure it out by just thinking about it.
‘Even though I’m a demon, I know it well.’
– Didn’t I tell you! The original king is closer to a human than you!
Lars snorted, saying that you would never understand humans.
-If that’s all right, let’s eat… .
The light in the restaurant went out when he said to order quickly.
I could hear the staff leaving through the back door. It seemed like he had to work overtime because of Gwangpungdan, so he quickly cleaned up and left.
– What, what! why go! There are still people left! Hey guys .. hey guys!
Lars squealed, but of course no one looked back.
-Hey, you cicada-like bastard! Doesn’t it look like you’re wasting time and starving!
‘Ah, I still have something to eat.’
Raon smiled lightly and took out a piece of bread from his subspace pocket.
– Heck!
Lars’ complexion turned pale.
‘Would you like some Nadine bread?’
-Get rid of that evil thing!
* * *
The dawn of the Aryan family where the sun did not rise.
Gwangpungdan and rangers gathered in front of the western gate.
When Raon chinned, Fricca, the leader of the 3rd Ranger group, nodded and opened the door opener.
Koo Goo Goo!
The castle gate opens with a shaking that shakes the ground. The accumulated dust soared into the air, forming thick gray clouds.
The water level in the Swamp of Death had risen a lot, so mud was pushed in very little into the open gate.
Raon turned around and saw Gwangpungdan. Like the determination he showed yesterday, everyone’s eyes were unwavering.
“Are you ready?”
“It’s done!”
All of the Gwangpungdan answered with a firm voice. The people around him shook their shoulders at the powerful voice with willpower.
“Laon.”
Wendy Ariane came to the side of Gwangpungdan and bowed her head.
“As I said yesterday, I have been ordered to stand by. sorry. instead… .”
She pointed at Fricca and the 3rd Ranger and her eyes lit up.
“They will do their best to guide you, so trust us and go.”
“thank you. Please do not worry and wait.”
Raon looked at Wendy and Frica and nodded.
“let’s go.”
He stepped on the swamp first and moved forward, followed by the Gwangpungdan.
The last ones were the rangers who had lived here.
Perhaps it was because he hadn’t scouted out in over half a year, and it wasn’t long after he walked through the swamp, but zombies and skeletons began to gather from all sides.
“Mmm!”
“What about zombies… .”
“I never thought this would be a number… .”
“Joe, how many?”
The rangers frowned as they saw the undead coming in.
“Gwangpungdan.”
Raon tapped the sheath without slowing down his pace.
“Erase it.”
As soon as he finished his words, the gwangpungdan guarding his back jumped out with bright yellow eyes shining.
Aaaaaang!
With only one sword strike, the swamp was devastated. None of the dozens of undead monsters survived.
“Let’s go.”
Raon gestured to the flustered rangers.
“There is no time to linger.”
