Chapter 585
Shiyan looked at Raon through a hole in the blanket and opened her mouth.
“Yes, yes?”
She was startled and trembled, not knowing what sound she was making.
‘S-Looking at it, what?’
Shiyan looked at the limbs she was hiding with the blanket and her lips trembled.
‘Does it smell? Or is it that you don’t want to be with me because I’m ugly?’
When Raon suddenly looked at him, he had all sorts of thoughts.
I didn’t know how to react, so when I was shaking my chin, Raon’s words continued.
“It’s not something I can say prematurely, but it might make Shiyan-nim’s condition a little better.”
“I-if it were me… .”
“Didn’t you say resonance didn’t work?”
“yes. still… .”
Shiyan glanced at Raon and nodded.
“I want to see why that doesn’t work.”
Raon looked at Shiyan and narrowed his eyes.
‘There are plenty of possibilities.’
Shiyan’s mother said that she came here when she had her, and Lars said that the passage leading to the Upper Hall was blocked by something huge since Shiyan was born.
It wasn’t certain, but it occurred to her that the aura of the beads left behind by Sieghart’s ancestors might have permeated her.
‘Because it’s a high elf.’
High elves are beings as close to nature as the world tree. If Shiyan was special among them, it was no wonder that her energy that had nurtured her World Tree was transferred to her.
“Well, then what do we do? Shall I take off my clothes?”
“… no. Just give me your hand.”
“Suck! Ah, I get it.”
Shiyan wriggled under the blanket for a long time before holding out his trembling hand.
I’ve seen quite a few women’s hands so far, but this is the first time I’ve seen an arm so white that it looks transparent. It was as if he had never seen the sun.
“Excuse me.”
I was holding Shiyan’s hand and trying to operate the cartoonist, but before I even put in the aura, her arm trembled as if it had been electrocuted.
“Shiyan? Are you sick by any chance?”
“Oh no!”
Shiyan quickly shook her head.
‘How can I say I’m nervous!’
For the first time in his life, he held the hand of someone other than his family, and the target was Raon, his idol. He felt as if his heart would go out and dance.
Raon held Shiyan’s hand tightly so that she wouldn’t tremble, and pushed the energy of the cartoonist and Glacia into her mana circuit at the same time.
Previously, when he was treating Limer, he was able to quickly find his way by grasping the elves’ mana circuits.
‘It’s clean.’
Shiyan’s danteon didn’t even have the slightest waste like a newborn baby, and the mana circuit was so wide that there was no big difference between me and me who had reached the grand master level.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was a blessing to have such a body since birth.
‘It’s amazing that he has such a body, but he can’t use his aura well.’
Raon licked his lips briefly and looked at Shiyan’s intermission.
Jungdanjeon was also as clean as Hadanjeon, but it was barely developed due to the low level.
Finally, when moving the aura in the direction of the upper battle after passing the middle battle, the part where the mana circuit was blocked suddenly appeared as if a huge rock was standing.
‘It’s hardened.’
Humans and elves, it was an important mana circuit that had been blocked since birth and opened only after becoming a grand master, and I didn’t feel anything strange about it.
It’s a part that other people shouldn’t touch, but I believed Lars’ words and pushed the two lines of the cartoonist’s and Glacia’s energy into it.
Whoa!
It should not be possible to penetrate the passage unless it is the owner of the body that has attained enlightenment, but mysteriously, the heat of the cartoonist and the coldness of Glacia penetrated the tightly closed gap and permeated inside.
‘Wasn’t it really natural?’
Thinking that the hypothesis was correct, I heard Rimer’s voice when I tried to push a little thicker energy.
“Raon! Shiyan! come here. We begin now.”
“hmm… .”
Raon retrieved the aura with a frown and released Shiyan’s arm.
“Uh, how are you?”
“I don’t know yet. Can I try again after the purification ceremony?”
“Ah yes… .”
Shiyan let out a vibrating voice and nodded while holding the blanket.
“thank you.”
Raon lowered his head and headed towards the place where Rimer and Sterin were.
Shiyan looked at Raon’s back as he was ahead and touched the upper part of the pit of the stomach.
‘It’s warm… .’
And it was cool too.
She followed Raon with her hands tightly together as if she wanted to keep the warm feeling she had felt for a long time.
* * *
Let’s go to the center of the world tree, the elves were building sharp momentum as if they were going to war.
“Come this way.”
Sterin motioned for him to come closer.
“yes.”
Raon approached Sterin with Shiyan.

“Listen, both of you.”
Sterin pointed to his ear, saying it was an important story. He really seemed to be trying to treat Sepia as a benefactor.
“Resonance is to unite my spirit with this world. But if you assimilate your mind with the world… .”
His voice sank to the point of chilling.
“Nine out of ten people die.”
“Are you dying?”
“okay. Compared to the vast world, my mind is too small to become one. However, it becomes possible if the object to be united is reduced.”
“Reduced subject… .”
“Isn’t there a level that swordsmen like you achieve?”
“Are you referring to the day of the sword union?”
“Yes.”
Sterin nodded calmly.
“High elves like me are born with the ability to resonate with the World Tree.”
Resonating with the World Tree did not come about through training. He shook his head, saying it was an ability he had from birth.
“But isn’t it a waste to use Resonance only for purification ceremonies? That’s why I was born… .”
“You are inspired.”
“Looks like you understand now.”
A faint smile bloomed on Sterin’s lips.
“You may not be able to become one with the World Tree, but it might be possible to learn the flow of resonance.”
He looked this way and nodded. He seemed to want to learn something from him.
“Then let’s begin.”
Sterin leaned against the World Tree and closed his eyes. His steady breathing slowly subsided, and his presence burned fiercely like a forest fire.
As if he had escaped the limits of his body, Sterin’s height, which had risen endlessly, became huge enough to cover the world tree, and his breath stopped.
‘Dead… no.’
The moment I thought Sterin was dead, a brilliant green light began to bloom on the World Tree, which was wrapped in a soft blue light.
The noble yet gentle spirit of Sterin was rippling at the center of the World Tree.
Raon lowered his gaze and saw Sterin leaning against the World Tree.
His body was still there, but the presence of the soul filling it was not felt.
“The purification ceremony has begun! Everyone stand guard!”
As the Elder, who had recovered his complexion a little, beckoned, the elves surrounded the World Tree with a cold force.
The captain was a stubborn old man, but he seemed sincere in valuing the world of elves.
Raon operated the ring of fire and looked up at the World Tree again.
‘Is this resonance?’
Just as a swordsman and a sword become one, Sterin escaped from his body and became one with the World Tree.
‘New sword union day. When I and the sword become one… .’
When I thought of the day of the match, I remembered the time I had a sparring with Sterin two days ago.
The moment I thought I didn’t want to end the sparring like this while throwing the requiem sword, the requiem sword caught my will and followed the order to go down.
‘Now I understand.’
It seemed that I was able to taste the sword, albeit minutely, because the will of the soul sword, which I did not want to lose, and I, who did not want to lose, were united.
Raon’s gaze, which was unraveling in a hazy way, quietly followed the traces of Sterin’s soul passing by.
“Ra, Raon-sama… ah?”
Shiyan was stopped by Rimer while talking to Raon.
“brother?”
“You can’t touch this guy right now.”
Rimer pointed to Raon’s eyes, which were blurred like a dream, and placed a finger on his lips.
“I’m in a trance.”
“What, trance?”
“okay. This damn guy goes in like shit.”
He brought Siyan to his side, telling him not to touch Raon.
Whoaaaaaaa!
As if to protect Raon, the capital of the world, it spread its branches to block sunlight pouring down from the sky.
“… … .”
Even though they knew that Raon was in a trance, the elders and elders didn’t touch him and just watched him with a frown on his eyes.
Rimer smiled at the elder and elder.
‘It didn’t rot at all.’
I was going to give him a shot if he tried to interfere with Raon, but fortunately they didn’t seem to want to move.
When Rimer smiled calmly at Raon again, there was a piece of cotton candy crying alone without anyone knowing.
-Damn it!
Lars looked up at the sky and screamed.
-Why does this guy get pretty wherever he goes! The original king suffers everywhere he goes and loses his abilities, so why is he the only one who is so happy!
I waved my hands wildly because this world was so damned.
_I want the king to be happy too! and… .
Finally, the most important words were shouted.
– This guy didn’t eat again!
* * *
Shiyan bit his lip as he watched Raon fall into selflessness.
‘As expected, Raon-nim is amazing.’
As soon as he saw Gong Myung for the first time, he became enlightened and fell into selflessness.
‘The contents of the book rather reduced his abilities.’
Reading the biography of Raon Sieghart, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but the real Raon was more than that.
Seeing as he was greeted by the World Tree and kneeled at the Elder, he was a monster far beyond human.
‘I have to protect it.’
When Raon was watching him from a little distance so that he wouldn’t be harmed, he heard the voices of other elves.
“That human gains enlightenment as soon as he sees consciousness, but why does Shiyan-nim stay the same?”
“That’s right. Even though I participate in the purification ceremony every time, I still can’t resonate… .”
“If Sterin-nim dies, won’t the world capital be in danger?”
“Why did such a high elf come out… .”
The elders and elves unleashed blind accusations toward Shiyan as if they didn’t care whether they heard it or not.
“The future of the World Tree is bleak. I’d rather ask that person… .”
“Will you shut up?”
Rimer glared at the elves and frowned.
“The ritual hasn’t even gone perfectly yet, so why are you teasing Mouth like that? Close your mouth and stand on your guard.”
“Kuhm… .”
“hmm… .”
The elves looked at Rimer and secretly looked away. However, even in the middle of this, they muttered that they were not wrong.
“Those bastards.”
As Rimer spat and tried to approach the elves, Shiyan grabbed him by the sleeve.
“brother. I’m okay.”
“but… .”
“Really.”
Shiyan shook her head, saying not to do it.
“Get used to it. And it’s not wrong.”
Although harsh, their words were not wrong. Because if Sterin leaves, no elves will be able to perform the purification ceremony.
‘I’m really unhelpful.’
As the elves said, Raon came to enlightenment after seeing it once, but I didn’t get anything even though I continued to participate in the purification ceremony. It was clear that he hadn’t had anything since he was born apart from his talent.
‘But I won’t give up this time.’
I didn’t want to sit down like this today because there was Raon who told me that I was in the current position because I didn’t give up on my own.
Shiyan and her mother went to the base of the World Tree where they felt the wind and leaned on their backs.
I closed my eyes and let out the breath of resonance that my grandfather had taught me.
‘hmm? Something seems to have changed a little.’
Strangely, I felt lighter in body and mind than usual.
‘I hope it’s not because of my mood.’
Shiyan closed her eyes with a faint smile. As she slowly climbed up and down, a red and blue haze rustled over her stomach.
* * *
Raon raised his eyelids and drew a subtle smile.
‘I understand a little bit.’
Seeing Sterrin’s resonance firsthand gave me a little idea of what it meant to be one with the sword.
I couldn’t achieve the union of the new swords right away, but I felt like I had prepared a small stepping stone to walk that road.
When I raised my gaze, the World Tree was standing there, shaking its branches, just like before falling into ecstasy, and Sterrin was sitting there as it was when he first saw it.
‘It wasn’t as long as I thought.’
-It wasn’t long?
As I tilted my head thinking it was strange, Lars pushed a drooping face in.
-Isn’t it long enough to bruise for a day? Are you really crazy!
Ras grabbed me by the collar and shook it, telling me to come to my senses.
-I’m starving to death!
‘day?’
Listening to what he said, he seemed to feel that time had barely passed since 24 hours had passed.
‘Then it took longer than I thought.’
When Raon smiled, Rimmer waved and approached.
“You never really try.”
Instead of sighing, he had a smile on his lips.
“How do you fall into a trance like eating?”
“I was lucky.”
“When will his luck explode?”
Rimmer muttered annoyed and shook his hand.
“So did you get anything?”
“I only got a rough idea of what unity is.”
“That’s enough.”
He nodded, saying it was a great achievement.
“Then let’s leave.”
“Are you leaving?”
“A day has passed, and now my grandfather has fully entered the purification ceremony. I’ll be doing that for two weeks. You don’t have to wait.”
Rimer motioned for them to leave, saying that the elders and other elves would protect them.
“but… .”
“You are a guest, a benefactor. There is no need to stand on the border.”
He said don’t worry and dragged me by the shoulder. Shiyan, who was next to him, also squirmed and stood up.
“Is Shiyan-nim okay?”
“Ah yes.”
Shiyan nodded slowly. It was a voice that seemed a bit weak.
Rimer looked at Shiyan for a moment, then put his hand in the air, just like when Sterin opened this space.
Woo woo woo!
A green light cut through the space, and Sterin’s treehouse, which he passed by when he entered, appeared.
“I-I’ll go first… .”
As soon as Shiyan left the space where the World Tree stretched out, she nodded and ran to her house.
I keep feeling it, but I moved really well with the blanket over me.
“Why are you here?”
“Something like that happened.”
Rimer let out a short sigh.
“Because I will take him. you are going back to your house Let’s eat a little later.”
He gestured with a fork and followed Shiyan.
‘What happened?’
-When you fell into a trance, the other ear-piercing bastards gave a damn to that elf girl.
Lars frowned and nodded.
‘What the f*ck?’
-You fell into a trance at once, but the elf girl kept repeating the purification ceremony and kept asking why she couldn’t resonate.
The guy twisted his mouth, saying he couldn’t like ears.
‘I see… .’
Raon looked at Shiyan’s back and licked his lips.
‘I wanted to check it properly.’
I wanted to confirm whether the wall blocking Shiyan’s upper hall was the wall of a state that everyone had or the dictational energy that radiated from the World Tree, but it seemed like I’d have to postpone it to another time.
-It’s done, go get something to eat quickly! Didn’t you starve all day!
‘Because I’ve been starving all day. How about nadine bread?’
-Ji, are you really going to kill the main king! If I ate that now, the king’s intestines would be twisted!
Lars shook his head, telling him to come to his senses.
‘i get it. okay.’
Raon smiled and nodded.
‘This time, I’ll eat the elves’ food you want to eat.’
-oh? What are you guys up to!
‘Because it’s about time.’
Lars hated Shiyan, who made Nadinpan, but instead defended her after learning that the elves were scolding her for not having talent. When she saw her human side, she wanted to take care of her a little bit.
As I walked while talking to Lars, I arrived in front of the inn before I knew it.
Yua and Dorian had no sign that they were still learning music.
When I grabbed the doorknob to get in first, the bush on the right shook and a little baby fox jumped out.
“fox?”
Can a fox be here?
Rimer had said that only creatures invited by the elves could enter this place. In other words, that fox could never have been a wild animal.
‘no way… .’
-Hey Iik!
Lars, who was smiling as he recalled the food of the elves he was about to eat, backed away in fright.
-It’s crazy! The madwoman is clear!
The moment Raon swallowed dry saliva, thinking the same thing as Lars, human language came out of the fox’s mouth.
“Raon!”
As expected, the baby fox was Merlin, but her voice fell with an unusual urgency.
“Get out of here right now!”
