Episode 942
“hmm….”
Raon turned his gaze to Karun, who was standing next to him.
“It would be best if you were the one who could explain this war from beginning to end.”
Karun crossed his arms and stepped back, as if he would not come forward.
Because it was a public place, he seemed to be talking about himself as a stormtrooper. As expected, he was a very bold person.
“That’s right. Our Lord was at the center of all the planning.”
Burren nodded his head vigorously, as Karun said.
“It wasn’t just the plan. You were involved in every fight. From the inside of the dimension, to climbing the Black Tower, to the bloody battle with the Black Tower Lord that followed.”
Martha raised her clenched fist and told him to hurry up and tell her about his exploits.
“Raon is so handsome today, so anything is fine.”
Lunan gave him a thumbs up, saying that since he was handsome, he could do anything. This guy seemed to think that being handsome was the answer to everything these days.
“hmm.”
Raon moistened his dry lips and took a step forward.
“Laon!”
“Our son!”
“young master!”
Sylvia, Edgar, Sia, and the maids waved their hands so vigorously that their arms almost fell off. They seemed to know that they had cut off the head of the Black Tower Lord, even if they did not know the details.
“Well done! Raon!”
“Nephew! I believed in you!”
Across from Sylvia, Aris and Balder were also smiling brightly and clapping.
“… … .”
Denier was also laughing beside him, what should I say? His laugh was vivid, but it felt different from the others.
-What are you doing! Come to your senses and finish this quickly!
Lars slapped his shoulder and told him to explain quickly.
-The King is hungry! He wants to eat the home-cooked meal you bragged about to Gluttony!
The guy bit his own cheek and hung on, saying that he would finish up quickly and go back.
“Then let me tell you from the beginning. We arrived in Montiro and… .”
Raon stepped forward while being bitten by Las. He received the attention of everyone in the training ground and told them what had happened so far.
“…Thanks to Chamberlain using his decisive move at the end, the Black Tower Lord’s opening was opened, and I was able to cut off his head.”
Since only a very small number of people had seen the Demon Kings, they only revealed the part where they killed the Black Tower Lord and then stepped back.
“It was true that the Black Tower’s head was cut off….”
Balder put down his hand and dented the railing.
“That’s my nephew! Look at him! That’s my nephew!”
He screamed so loudly that it seemed as if the eardrums of the people around him were bursting.
“Aren’t you going to shut up?”
Alice covered her ears and hit the back of Balder’s head with her palm.
“I’m the only one who can call Raon my nephew!”
She ground her teeth, threatening to kill him if he ever heard the sound of her nephew again from that dirty mouth.
“Then what should I call you…?”
“Call me the Lord of the Windstorm!”
Alice lifted her chin and told him to do as he pleased.
“Lord Gwangpungjeon! I believed in you!”
Balder followed Aris’s words and called Raon “the Lord of the Storm”. He had no sense of pride.
“You had another tough fight….”
Sylvia’s eyes turned red as she read the dire situation in Raon’s simple explanation.
“Thank you, Karun… .”
Edgar bowed his head to Karun, as if he felt that he had been of great help to him in this war.
“As expected from my little brother! Good job!”
Sia waved at Raon, calling him her little brother, as if following Balder. She seemed to be in a good mood, seeing so many people cheering for her little brother’s name.
“Ahem!”
Glenn stood up, coughing as the audience’s admiration and cheers for Raon began to turn into conversation.
“This war was the only way to destroy the balance of the Five Emperors and Five Horses.”
He nodded heavily as he looked at Raon and Karun.
“Heuktopju put up a fierce resistance, even building a gate to the demon world, but Gwangpungjeonju followed him all the way and beheaded him. If the movie had ended with the great wizard being defeated, we would have had to hide in the shadows to avoid them.”
Glenn looked at Raon with warm eyes.
“This war will go down in history, and the name Laon Sieghart will be engraved at its center.”
He nodded, saying that even if he didn’t want it to be that way, it had to be that way.
“It’s not just Gwangpungjeonju. Jungmujeonju, and everyone who participated in this war, has achieved a feat that will be remembered for eternity. You all worked hard, and I thank you.”
Glenn said thank you and pulled out the Jincheon Sword. He held the sword upside down and took Sieghart’s salute.
“Go, my lord!”
“No! It’s something that should be done!”
The inspectors bowed their heads hastily to answer Glenn’s question, seemingly unable to imagine that the head of the household would personally thank them.
“Therefore, I will grant all the inspectors who participated in this war the right to choose a gold medal and one treasure of their choice from Sieghart’s report. And….”
Glenn raised his finger and pointed at Raon and Karun.
“I will allow Gwangpungjeonju and Jungmujeonju, who fought the most difficult war, to take five treasures of the report.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he put his hand down, as if he had already made up his mind.
“Wow!”

“Huh! You’re sending it directly to Sieghardt’s report?”
“Elixirs, weapons, books of martial arts, and even artifacts. There’s nothing that’s not in the report!”
“What are you surprised about! If you destroyed the Black Tower, you should be compensated at that level.”
“I think it’s rather small. It wouldn’t be strange for the Jeonju people to receive 10.”
The audience nodded, saying it was a fitting reward for the achievement.
“Then let’s disband. You’ve worked hard so far.”
Glenn came down from the stage as soon as he finished talking about compensation, as if he had called everyone together just for this.
He nodded to Raon as if he had done well and left the training ground.
‘I don’t know what you’re thinking… .’
Raon snickered and turned around, then met eyes with Denier, who was looking this way.
“… … .”
Denier was clapping along with the others, his lips curled up as if he had achieved his goal.
However, in his eyes, rather than the joy of victory, there was an emptiness that seemed to lack emotion.
‘Denier Sieghardt.’
Raon turned his gaze away from Denier and chewed his lips thinly.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
* * *
“Haaah… .”
Recross looked up at the white ceiling and let out a heavy sigh that made the ground feel like it was collapsing.
“It’s so pathetic.”
Laon and Chamber destroyed the Black Tower, but since he couldn’t handle a single Derus, he received help from Glenn.
I was so embarrassed and ashamed that I couldn’t raise my face.
“I should send a gift to Sieghart.”
Since Raon cut off Black Tower’s head and Glenn saved his life, the main character of this war was none other than Sieghart.
Since it was of no help, I thought I should send Sieghart a precious gift.
“Damn it! If only I had somehow dodged the first sword….”
It was when Recross was gnashing his teeth as he recalled his battle with Derus.
Kwaaaaang!
The door to the sickroom opened roughly, and Chambers, wearing a witch’s hat, came in.
“Hey! Here’s the kid who got beaten up while guarding the house. He looks good, huh?”
Chambers stuck his tongue out as he looked at Recross lying on the bed.
“You told me not to treat you like a child because you were given the nickname of ‘Mukgeomjon’, and now you’re lying down after getting stabbed by Delus?”
She burst into a refreshing laugh, as if she had come to tease me rather than to comfort me.
“More, it’s getting filthy!”
Recross just raised his head and shook his fist.
“You look completely different from the last time I saw you! I thought you were fighting Glenn!”
He was evil, saying that he was not weak. It was very different from the image he had shown as the silent swordsman and the king of Owen.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Little Recross. Isn’t he cute?”
Chambers tapped Recross’ head as he gnashed his teeth in anger.
“Tell this older sister everything.”
She nodded, saying she would listen to everything.
“Oh, my sister, that’s a bit like that. There’s an age difference… .”
Recross waved his hands as if he had come to his senses at the sound of her name.
“You little punk! Look at this plump skin!”
Chambers slapped Recross on the forehead, telling him not to talk about age.
“hmm….”
Recross touched his forehead where Chamber had hit him and narrowed his eyes.
“But who is the child you brought?”
He tilted his head as he looked at Lencia hiding behind the chamber.
“My disciple.”
Chambers grinned, pushing Lencia forward.
“Are you my disciple?”
“Yes. I met a gem of talent greater than mine in Montiro. Look forward to it, he’s the next Archmage.”
She lifted her chin, as if she was confident in Lencia’s future.
“Oh, hello. My name is Lencia.”
The girl who introduced herself as Lencia bowed her head cautiously. She looked cute now, but she seemed like she would become a great beauty in the future.
“hmm….”
Recross briefly licked his lips as he looked into Lencia’s green eyes.
‘The apprentice of the great wizard.’
Although Chambers often taught someone, he rarely declared himself a disciple.
But, it seemed like something in her personality had changed, as she simply took in a disciple and declared that he would be the next great magician.
“I heard you were badly hurt. Did you have a change of heart?”
Recross lowered his hand, looking at the chamber.
“It couldn’t be otherwise. I almost died too.”
Chambers nodded with a faint smile.
“It looks fine on the outside, but the upper abdomen is seriously torn. It’s to the point where you’ll need to recuperate for a while.”
She let out a breathless laugh, saying that she would have really died if Saint Olga had not been there.
“I’m sure you’re the same as Derus, but Black Tower Lord is also really strong. It’s only natural that he breaks the mold of being human and grows stronger.”
Chambers chewed his red lips thinly.
“That’s why I’m trying to raise a successor in advance so that I don’t have to look back.”
She clenched her fists, prepared to die in the coming war.
“hmm….”
Recross looked at Lencia with a low groan.
“Is it okay to tell a young disciple that you are prepared to die?”
“Don’t worry. This guy might have stronger mental powers than you.”
Chambers waved his hand, saying that he was a child who had been through all kinds of hardships and even felt death.
“Your eyes definitely look different.”
Recross nodded and extended his hand to Lencia.
“My name is Recross. I guess there’s a lot to see in the future.”
He said he was asking for a favor and was polite to young Lencia.
“I, please take good care of me too! Your Majesty!”
Lencia lifted her trembling arms and grabbed Recross’ hand.
“I also learned a lot from this experience.”
Recross frowned as he stroked Lencia’s head.
“I’ve put aside my life as a warrior and spent a lot of time as a king, but I think it’s time to get crazy about swordsmanship again.”
He gritted his teeth, saying that he wanted revenge on Delus.
“Revenge. It’s a good thing. But we might not have a chance.”
Chambers smiled and raised a finger.
“The backsurge was higher and faster than we thought.”
“Are you talking about the sword?”
Recross nodded, realizing that the back wave Chamber had mentioned was Raon.
“Yes. Unlike you, there is nothing in front of you, a sword master! If it’s a sword master, then what is a silent sword master? It doesn’t look like anything!”
Chambers shook his head in disappointment.
“Ugh… .”
Recross shook his shoulders, as if angry that his nickname had been insulted.
“Wha, Mukgeomjon is the nickname I got right after I became a Transcendent One! If I decide now, it’ll be a different nickname!”
He turned red in the face as if he had turned back into a child and questioned Chambers.
“As expected, your face turns red when you get excited.”
Chambers chuckled and lightly tapped Recross on the forehead.
“Hmm….”
King Recross hung his head as if he realized that he had been teased by Chambers.
“A joke is a joke, but Raon is real.”
“I know very well that that child is very talented.”
“That’s not it.”
Chambers chuckled and shook his head.
“Shall I tell you something interesting? Even during the festival celebrating victory in war, Raon was meditating? And he was thinking back on his shortcomings in battle.”
She licked her lips as she looked out the window facing north.
“That guy won’t stop at just the level of a swordsman. That’s for sure.”
* * *
“Everyone is here.”
Glen nodded as he looked at the inspectors from the Gwangpungjeon and Jungmujeon gathered in the audience room.
“Then without further ado, let’s get started.”
Glenn snapped his fingers, his arms resting on the throne.
Taaaaaah!
As that cool sound echoed through the audience room, a golden dimensional door opened in front of the Gwangpungjeon and Jungmujeon inspectors.
“Follow me.”
Glenn gestured to the inspectors as he entered the golden, shimmering dimension.
“This, this is Sieghart’s report… .”
“I’ve seen it with my own eyes, but I never thought I’d actually go in there.”
“Whew, I can’t stop shaking.”
The inspectors of the Heavy Armor and the Wind Armor trembled with excitement at being able to hear Sieghardt’s report.
“Go in.”
Karun nodded calmly as if he had seen the report and stepped into the golden dimension.
-What are you doing!
Lars grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.
-Let’s just choose something and go eat something quickly!
The guy was so hungry he was chattering his teeth.
‘I’ll pack you a belly full. Just wait a moment.’
It was when Raon was pushing Lass away and trying to enter Sieghart’s report.
Woohoo!
A blue-tinged message appeared in front of the golden dimension.
[Trait <Greed> is unlocked.]
