Chapter 681
Coo coo coo coo coo.
Raon entered the throne room, feeling the warm rays of sunlight sinking down.
As he walked to the front of the podium, greeting Cheryl, Serena, and Trevin, Jinmu Jeonju Balder blinked his left eye.
‘what… .’
I sighed and immediately looked away.
‘Why are you doing that?’
I don’t know why he blinks like that whenever he gets the chance, including during executive meetings.
I didn’t want to get involved, so I ignored Balder’s gaze and stood in front of the podium.
“Meet the matriarch!”
Raon confirmed that Gwangpungdae was standing behind him and knelt down in front of Glenn.
Gwangpungdae also took the same posture and lowered his head.
“Everyone stand up.”
I lifted my gaze as I heard dry words telling me to get up. Glenn rested her chin on her fist, as usual, with empty eyes.
Raon nodded slightly, looking at Glenn’s cloudy eyes.
‘Now I know why the head of the family looks like that.’
It is clear from the way Glenn’s eyes sink deeper as he looks at Sylvia. He was not looking at the present because he regretted the past.
‘I understand. I too was regretting the past… hmm?’
Raon sighed briefly and then stopped.
‘however… .’
You seem a little different today… .
Glenn’s mouth, which had been lowered as if he were wearing weights, was raised a little more than usual, and his eyes seemed to be less cloudy than usual.
“Gwangpungdaeju.”
However, before I could even think about the reason, I heard Glenn’s call.
“yes. “Matriarch.”
Raon answered and lowered his head.
“How did Gwangpungdae, who went on a mission to subdue monsters, come back as a state guest of the Kingdom of Super?”
“State guest?”
This was my first time hearing about a state guest, so I narrowed my eyes.
“A letter has arrived from the Kingdom of Super.”
Glenn waved a white envelope resting on the arm of the throne.
“The plan was to designate Lord Gwangpungdae and Gwangpungdae as state guests of Super and cut the price of holy water delivered to Sieghart by half.”
“State guest? “All of Gwangpungdae?”
“It’s not just one person, it’s over 30 people. All of them?”
“The state guest is not important! “If the price of holy water is half price, it’s free!”
“yes. “The Holy Water of the Super Kingdom is one of the best on the continent!”
The executives looked at Raon and Gwangpungdae with blank eyes.
Glenn nodded as if to tell me what had happened.
The other executives also raised their eyes with a light glow as if they were curious.
“When we arrived at Mount Divarn, Lord Hopen and the paladins were being chased by monsters. Save them, climb to the top… .”
Raon told Glenn and the executives everything that had happened.
Of course, things like the descent of the Demon Lord and the appearance of Grid were glossed over to some extent.
“Huh… .”
“You’re crazy… .”
“Now I understand. “It was natural to hear Super’s hero.”
“When I heard the rumor that a demon was captured in the Holy Kingdom, I thought it was some kind of bullshit, but I have no choice but to admit it.”
“I understand why there was an uproar… .”
The executives laughed and said they were surprised.
“But isn’t it a little strange?”
“Well, if nothing else, it makes sense to find demons faster than the priests of the Holy Kingdom… .”
“And even the saint, paladin, and Rimmer have fallen, so how was he able to fight alone?”
Direct executives have been arguing with ugly words because they cannot demonstrate with force like they used to.
“that… .”
“Won’t you shut up?”
When Raon was about to answer with a sneer, Balder struck the ground with his right foot and raised his fist.
“Insert noise saying where is this place!”
“Uh, Jeonju?”
“Jeonju, damn you, shut up!” “It’s in front of the head of the family!”
When Balder twitched his mouth, the immediate executives turned their gazes with piercing expressions.
‘You are swearing in front of the head of the family…’ .’
Raon blinked and looked at Balder. He narrowed one eye again with an expression that said, ‘I did well.’
What’s funnier is Glenn. Unlike usual, he did not stop Balder, but rather nodded his head slightly as if he liked it.
‘Really what… ?’
I was laughing out loud because of the absurdity, but Glenn lowered the hand that was holding his chin.
“Gwangpungdaeju.”
“yes.”
“excellent.”
Glenn said the word “excellent” right away without any hesitation. The other executives also widened their eyes in surprise.

“Finding the demons and defeating King Baurn, who was possessed by demons, were not particularly great things. But… .”
He raised his index finger. An absolute energy wave spread from his slender fingers as he pressed his son-in-law.
“Ugh… .”
“eww… .”
The executives standing in front of the pillar could not bear Glenn’s pressure and retreated or kneeled.
“Fighting head-on with demons that overwhelm even the Grand Master is definitely not easy.”
Glenn looked down at the immediate executives who were doubting Raon’s achievements with a cold gaze.
“Uhm… .”
“Okay… .”
The immediate executives couldn’t even lift their waists due to Glenn’s energy and only their hands trembled.
“Even if Rimer and the saintess were exhausted, if they had enough demon energy to stand up, they would be at least intermediate or high-level demons. Defeating such a high-ranking demon is a feat that would be praised by anyone, regardless of your age.”
As the owner of a prestigious sword family, Glenn valued defeating demons with his sword more than saving the kingdom of Super.
“The same goes for you.”
Glenn’s eyes drifted to the Gwangpungdae standing behind Raon.
“Even if you are at a low level, it is close to impossible for you to defeat the demons and hell hounds right now. “You have accomplished a great feat.”
“Thanks to the great lord for teaching us new martial arts.”
“If it wasn’t for the wild wind, it would have been difficult to catch that bastard!”
Buren and Marta gave me credit and bowed their heads. The two people’s faces were flushed, perhaps because they had heard praise directly from Glenn.
“Good luck Raon.”
In the meantime, Runaan muttered, “f*ck you,” and closed her eyes. My face turned red.
“Well, if it’s Gwangpungryu, isn’t it the martial arts that the Gwangpungdaeju created some time ago?”
“that’s right. That was uneducated enough to catch a demon… .”
“Was the rumor that Choi Sang-seung was a muhak true?”
“All I can say is that you’re really crazy… .”
The executives trembled their lips as if they were even more surprised by Gwangpungdae’s words.
“Keuhum!”
“Hehehehe.”
Dorian and Crane raised their noses and straightened their backs, as if they enjoyed seeing people startled.
“That’s amazing!”
Balder grinned and raised his thumb. One of his eyes still blinked. I couldn’t figure out his intentions, so I got goosebumps.
“Kuhuhhum!”
Glenn cleared his throat loudly and covered his chin and mouth with his right hand. She noticed that his fingertips seemed to be shaking.
“Defeating the demon is the greatest achievement, but we cannot help but praise him for finding it first and reducing the casualties, and for returning as a state guest of Super.”
In contrast to his expression of helplessness, Glenn’s voice trembled slightly.
“I will award gold plaques to all members of the Gwangpungdae and give them the authority to choose ascending weapons.”
All the executives gaped at his declaration.
“Um, they’re all gold plates? Plus, if it’s a rising weapon… .”
“Are you saying you are opening a report?”
“Not just one or two people, but all of them? This is a bit… .”
“Do I look okay? “You saved a kingdom.”
“okay. Since I am a state guest, it will be easy to connect, and if the holy water is half price, it will be a huge benefit.”
Some executives frowned as if it was too much, but others did. In particular, I had to keep my mouth shut when I saw Balder frowning.
“and.”
Glenn pointed his finger at Raon as if he hadn’t finished speaking yet.
“The Lord of the Gwangpungdae, who leads the Gwangpungdae, will give you the authority to choose two weapons.”
* * *
Sigh!
Glenn gave gold plaques to all members of the Gwangpungdae and then snapped his fingers.
Hwaaaaa!
A golden light like dawn spread throughout the throne room, and countless weapons, armor, and accessories emerged across the dimension.
“Wow… .”
“This is… .”
“They are all weapons of ascension. “I can’t take my eyes off it.”
The Gwangpungdae and executives swallowed their dry saliva as they looked at the weapons showing their own colors.
“I summoned the weapon inside Sieghardt’s treasury.”
Glenn waved his hand lightly as if it was no big deal.
“Gwangpungdae should choose the weapon they want.”
He nodded as if it didn’t matter which one he chose.
“Go, thank you!”
Even though Gwangpungdae could not take his eyes off the weapon, he first shouted thank you to Glenn.
However, there was one person who was far from him.
“I didn’t have any money, but I had something to sell… “Huh!”
Rimmer rushed to the weapon without even saying hello, but was struck by red lightning and fell.
-That idiot… .
Lars shook his fleshy chin.
-I thought it was a little better, but it was still the same. Kellogg!
The guy furrowed his eyebrows as if he remembered Rimmer who had blocked Gluttony’s path and told him to run away.
‘well.’
Raon smiled slightly as he recalled the conversation he had with Rimmer in front of the bonfire.
“Wow, it’s crazy. Look at this sword! The blade is sharpened like a saw! “It’s scary, isn’t it?”
“This armor sloshes like liquid!”
“Earrings that amplify aura? Ah, anyway, the earrings are a little… .”
The Gwangpungdae were scattered throughout the throne room, inspecting the weapons. Long lines were drawn around everyone’s mouths as if they were happy.
“I finally found a sword to replace my Dark Phoenix! From today, your name will be Chaos Storm!”
“Heh. Can you follow my green wave ver.2?”
“Super Haksar. sorry. “Destiny of fate is calling me!”
Some prosecutors have already chosen a weapon and given it a name. I got goosebumps hearing that name during my Gwangpungdan days, but my sense of naming still remains.
Raon sighed and headed to the right, where there were no weapons.
‘I don’t need a sword.’
There was no need for weapons as there was the Jecheon Sword, the Requiem Sword, and the Thousand Killing Stone.
‘Then what… hmm?’
While looking around at the armor, one piece of thin clothing that did not fit here caught my eye.
‘Why is the underwear here?’
I thought it was strange and touched it, but it felt like steel, not fabric.
However, the inside that touched the skin was as soft as a cotton tee.
“It’s Chamcheolpo.”
Rimmer came to the side with his arms crossed.
“Chamcheolpo?”
“It may look like ordinary clothing, but it is an artifact that absorbs shock. “It’s hard and will save your life at least once.”
He nodded, saying it would be better to choose the Chamcheolpo.
“It’s okay.”
It was light and soft, so there was nothing bothersome. Not only was it sturdy, but it also had the ability to absorb shock, making it perfect for wearing under uniforms.
Raon took the Chamcheolpo, looked for the next item, and walked towards the accessories.
‘There are so many I don’t know what to choose… uh?”
My eyes widened as I looked at various accessories whose uses I could not figure out.
‘This… .’
* * *
“no way… .”
Cheryl looked up at the podium and smiled faintly.
“I didn’t know you would take out Sieghardt’s report as is. “Isn’t this the second time?”
“This is the third time.”
Roen smiled and shook his head.
“The first master received it.”
“ah!”
Cheryl clapped her hands as if she remembered.
“Well, that was so ridiculous.”
She savored it as if she understood.
“This probably means that Gwangpungdae’s achievements are no less than that.”
Roen looked up at Glenn and nodded.
“Well, it wasn’t that much of a risk, but it was still okay.”
Glenn cleared his throat and turned his head. The corners of his trembling mouth began to rise like the tip of a crescent moon.
Cheryl and Loen smiled slightly as they watched Glenn’s smile gradually increase.
“Oh, I’m dying… .”
Rimmer touched his neck and shook his head.
“I got hoarse from telling you about the equipment.”
He brushed the hair off his forehead, saying that it was difficult to choose weapons for the entire Gwangpungdae.
“What are you planning?”
Cheryl narrowed her eyes as she looked at Rimmer.
“what?”
“If you were a normal person, you would just pick yours and run straight to the pawn shop, right? “Why did you help the kids?”
“I am the unit owner. “I have to do this.”
“Isn’t this something you didn’t do during Daeju?”
“I’ve changed my mind a bit.”
Rimmer shrugged his shoulders.
“Change your mind? “What does that mean?”
Cheryl glared at Rimmer with narrowed eyes.
“… … .”
Rimmer smiled slightly without answering and then turned his gaze to Glenn.
“Matriarch. What was the second item Raon took? “Is this my first time seeing you too?”
“It was in that position even before I became the head of the family.”
A faint gold light shone in Glenn’s red eyes.
“No, it was a long time ago.”
“If it was a long time ago… .”
“I don’t even know if there really is such a thing as fate.”
* * *
“I’m tired… .”
Raon sighed and sat down on the bed.
After explaining to Glenn and the annex family what had happened, my voice became hoarse.
It was especially difficult because Encia was making a fuss about starting to write a new work right away.
-Big!
Lars let out a small burp while floating in the air.
-After all, home-cooked meals are the best. Kellogg!
The guy shook his head and said that no matter what food he ate, it wasn’t as good as home-cooked food.
-hey.
“why?”
-Now, eat some beaded ice cream.
Lars smiled, pointing to the beaded ice cream dessert that Sylvia had prepared.
“Why did my mother prepare something like this… .”
Sylvia seemed to think I liked beaded ice cream and got me a set of five.
Thinking about eating all that gave me a headache.
-After all, she is my mother!
Lars grinned and wiggled his hands to quickly open the box.
“after… .”
Raon sighed and opened the frozen box containing the beaded ice cream. Five pieces of mint chocolate ice cream were revealed along with white steam.
-mom!
Lars clasped his hands together, shouting that he loved him.
I didn’t want to eat it, but Lars had done something for me and it was Sylvia’s sincerity, so I put the mint chocolate in my mouth.
-Keuuuu.
Lars let out a deep sigh.
-This is it! The refreshing refreshing feeling spread throughout this sweetness! It cleanses my stuffy mouth!
‘You just have to brush your teeth.’
-It’s different from that!
“after… .”
Raon finished eating all the ice cream in the box and put down his hand.
-I’m happy. Kellogg!
Lars said he felt good and floated in the air with his stomach turned over.
“Then shall I fill my stomach too?”
Raon took out a subspace pouch.
-Filling your stomach?
“Gluttony hasn’t kicked in yet.”
Looking at Lars’ frightened eyes, I took Nadine bread out of my subspace pocket.
-You idiot.
Lars snorted and shook his head.
-You don’t even know your own characteristics?
‘What are you talking about?’
-Unlike gluttony, your gluttony only activates when you feel it is delicious. It’s not just about filling your stomach!
The guy chuckled and said that he would never be able to eat Nadine bread again.
‘hmm… .’
Raon glanced at Lars and put the Nadin bread in his mouth.
-hey! men and horses!
I didn’t care what Lars said and chewed the bread thoroughly.
As expected, Nadine bread. My stomach was so full that it felt like it was going to explode.
-Oh, no… .
Lars held his head and screamed.
-Oh, it tastes like rubber! The happiness that was soaked in the beaded ice cream is burning to black!
The guy flicked his tongue with a round finger as if trying to get rid of the taste of rubber.
“Good.”
Raon ate all of the Nadin bread and nodded with a satisfied expression.
-Kellogg! The king said so! I couldn’t start binge eating, I just lost my appetite… .
It was time for Lars to argue.
[The trait <Gluttony> is activated.]
Along with the notification that Gluttony had been activated, a message appeared showing that the level of ability and soul level had slightly increased.
-uh… ?
Lars widened his eyes as if he was dumbfounded.
-Why is this?
The guy looked at me with blank eyes.
-Do you really think this rubber bread is delicious?
‘huh. are you okay.’
Raon nodded calmly. In my past life, I lived by eating weeds, so Nadine bread was a great food.
-Well, there are all these idiots! Show me that tongue! It’s definitely covered in dog poop! It makes no sense otherwise!
Lars screamed in disbelief.
-Now, wait! Then from now on… .
The guy looked at his pink tongue and shook his head.
‘We should eat Nadine bread every day.
-No, no!
‘The scream is good.’
Raon buried his back in the bed while listening to Lars’ screams.
A sword-shaped thread made of a harmonious mix of red and golden thread fell out of the jacket pocket.
-hmm… .
Lars, who was crying, frowned as he looked at the water room.
-Now that I think about it, why on earth did you choose that? I can’t feel anything?
The guy shook his head, saying he didn’t understand.
“Because it’s worth it.”
-value?
“okay.”
Raon nodded while smoothing the thread.
“This is an item belonging to Sieghardt, the first head of the family.”
