Episode 972
“Raon changed your daughter?”
Glenn narrowed his eyes at the blue-haired man.
“What does that mean?”
“My daughter had a twisted personality because she was so talented, and she got into a lot of trouble, but she changed a lot after meeting that friend.”
The blue-haired man raised his hand gently and pointed at Raon.
“I came out first because I wanted to at least say thank you.”
He smiled faintly, saying he had really only come to say hello.
“Haa, that crazy… .”
Chambers let out a long sigh, placing a hand on his forehead as if he was familiar with the situation.
‘hmm….’
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he looked at the blue-haired man in front of him.
‘This man is the King of Balkar…?’
He is an impressive man with gorgeous blue hair that seems to contain the sea.
He looked to be in his late twenties or early thirties, and he held a huge amount of mana, so I thought he was a secret weapon that Balkar was hiding, but I never imagined he was the king.
“My name is Xanthos Ruin Valkar.”
The King of Balkar gave a short bow, as if he were truly a father and not a king.
“… This is Sieghart’s Stormwind Master, Laon Sieghart.”
Raon bowed deeply with his hand on his chest.
‘You will bow your head to me.’
Even though I came as a father, I never thought that the King of Balkar would bow his head first.
I was so embarrassed that my voice cracked without me realizing it.
“Jaina has been rude in many ways, but thank you for taking care of her until the end.”
Xanthos laughed, saying that thanks to him, Jaina’s disposition seemed to have changed for the better.
“I didn’t do it.”
Raon stared blankly at Xanthos and then waved his trembling hands.
‘It’s embarrassing.’
He had the position and honor of a king, but he didn’t know how to greet his much younger self first or speak to him in a respectful manner. It was burdensome.
“It seems like you are more embarrassed than I told you.”
Xanthos smiled faintly and licked his lips.
“What did the princess say?”
“He said I was an ignorant wild boar who just charged in without thinking about the consequences.”
He nodded, saying that when he met him in person, he looked not like a wild boar, but like a dragon flying in the sky.
-What the dragon!
He quickly shook his head as if to say that it wasn’t Las.
-This guy is a wild boar who sees everything through his eyes! He is even more greedy than that!
The guy flapped his arms, saying he shouldn’t look at it favorably.
“…it only discriminates against people.”
Raon pushed Las away and looked down.
“Hide people?”
Xanthos laughed, tossing his blue-tinged hair.
“It’s something that shouldn’t sound good, but when Gwangpungjeonju brings it out, it strangely doesn’t sound bad.”
He shrugged, saying that it’s the person saying the words that matters more than the words themselves.
“Oh, Dad? No, Abamama!”
Jaina, who came up late, glared at Xanthos.
“Why are you here!”
She ran to Xanthos, chewing her lips.
“I came here to see you because I was upset that it wasn’t me who changed my daughter, but another man.”
Xanthos patted Jaina on the back, saying it was just a greeting.
“Nooooooooooo!”
Jaina screamed, her face turning red.
“What are you talking about! No! No!”
She screamed and waved her arms, as if she had reverted to her original personality.
“Hey, hurry up! Everyone’s waiting!”
Jaina placed a hand on Xanthos’ back and pushed him towards the palace.
“Meetings aren’t fun. It’s a whirlwind. Why don’t we just leave the ladies alone and have a beer?”
Xanthos made a gesture as if he was drinking beer, as if asking to go with him.
“Your Majesty… .”
Chambers lifted his hat slightly and spoke through clenched teeth.
“Because you’re being annoying. Should we stop and go to the conference room?”
She had thick tendons sticking out of her forehead, as if she was about to explode.
“Hmm….”
Xanthos swallowed dryly, as if he could not ignore Chambers’ words.
“No, I was just joking. You’re being too serious.”
He waved his hands as if it was all a joke and stepped back.
“My lord, let’s go. I will guide you.”
Xanthos looked away, as if trying to avoid Chamber’s gaze.I walked up to Glenn.
“Okay, I see. But… .”

Glenn followed behind Xanthos and slowly moved his lips away.
“How did the Gwangpungjeonju change the princess? Can you explain in detail?”
He nodded slightly as if curious.
“Shall I tell you?”
Xanthos slowed his steps, his ears prickling.
“I was just a little curious.”
Glenn licked his lips, not just a little, but very curious.
“As I said before, my child was a bit spoiled. He almost thought the world was his.”
“I see.”
He quickly chimed in, wanting to hear Raon’s story.
“I cared for her because she was the youngest, and I raised her very well because she was very capable. When I was wondering how to change her personality, I got hit hard by the Stormlord at the Camelun underground auction house. From then on, Jaina started to change little by little.”
“dad!”
Jaina stamped her foot loudly as if to tell him to stop.
“Actually, my personality became more vicious after that, but fortunately, my encounter with the Gwangpungjeonju didn’t end there. When I clashed with the apostles, my pride was completely shattered…”
Xanthos laughed happily as he brought out the things that had happened to Jaina one by one.
“Ugh… .”
Jaina bit her lip so hard that it bled, but she didn’t have the guts to stop Glenn and Xanthos from talking.
“Uh, that thing over there….”
Jaina put on her hood and looked away as if trying to avoid Raon’s gaze.
“There is no need to be ashamed of the past.”
Raon lowered his chin slightly as he looked at Jaina.
“… It’s true that I did something bad.”
Jaina let out a heavy sigh, saying she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
“If you were still an ugly person, then you should be ashamed. But….”
Raon shook his head as he looked at Jaina, who was biting her lip.
“You are now a completely different person from the person you were in the past. Now, instead of being ashamed of your past, you can be proud of yourself for breaking free from that ugliness.”
Raon slowly raised his finger and placed it in front of Jaina.
“It’s much harder for people to change for the better than to be born with that disposition.”
I’ve seen countless people change, but only one person has changed so dramatically: Karun.
Now that Jaina has made her own changes, it is time for her to accept her shameful past and move forward.
“ah….”
Jaina’s eyes widened in surprise at her own words.
“Well, it’s changed a lot. At first, I felt like slapping him every time.”
Martha nodded, saying that she still didn’t like it, but that she acknowledged that there had been changes.
“As the Lord Jeon said, she is indeed a great princess now. She stood before her subordinates until the very end during the war with the Black Tower.”
Burren also laughed, saying that Jaina’s transformation was amazing.
“I like your expression….”
Runaan nodded, noting that Jaina’s complexion had brightened more than anything else.
“To be honest, at first I had a hard time getting close to him because his face was scary, but now his atmosphere has become a lot more gentle.”
Dorian scratched his belly pocket and let out a cool laugh. It seemed all the more surprising because he was the first to meet Jaina along with him.
“ah….”
Jaina dropped the staff she was holding in her hand, seemingly surprised by the changed evaluations of Raon and the Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“Go, thank you.”
She lowered her head, hiding her transparent eyes.
“I was so angry because of that bastard, but seeing the kids makes me feel a little better.”
Chambers let out the breath he had been holding, feeling that just looking at them purified his mind.
“Are you feeling better?”
Raon approached Chamber and examined her condition.
“I want to say it’s okay, but it’s not okay.”
Chambers sighed and shook his head.
“I guess I overdid it. My upper body is not recovering.”
She bit her lip, saying it didn’t seem like a wound that would heal easily.
“Olga. If you were me now….”
Raon looked back at Olga, who was with the Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“It’s no use.”
Chambers shook his head at Olga.
“This wound is not physical, but mental. And since I inflicted it myself, it cannot be erased by divine power.”
She smiled, saying she was grateful that Montiro had healed her physical wounds.
“Chamber is right. There’s nothing I can do….”
Olga clicked her tongue roughly as if she felt regret.
“And I will be able to return to my previous state only if I recover with my own strength, not with the help of others. That is the realm of transcendence.”
Chamber shook his head, saying that it was not good to receive help from others.
“Let’s go in first.”
She pointed to Xanthos and Glenn, who were walking ahead, as if it was a good idea for them to enter the conference room now.
“I, I will guide you.”
Jaina wiped her eyes with her sleeve and stepped forward again.
Raon followed Jaina into a large white building with red silk hanging down like a curtain.
The interior hallway had long, yellow and white walls and ceilings, giving it a warm, yet luxurious feel.
“Everyone else has arrived. The conference, including the neutral forces, will be held in three days.”
Chambers winked at the real meeting, which was to take place in three days.
“Then shall we go in?”
“wait a minute.”
Before Raon entered the conference room, he stopped and looked back.
“You guys are resting outside.”
He ordered the Gwangpungjeon inspectors to rest.
“yes!”
“and….”
Raon raised his finger as he watched the inspectors answering with their mouths wide open.
“Do you remember what I said this morning?”
“Of course.”
The inspectors nodded immediately as if they knew it was obvious.
“Martha. You can go wild.”
“really?”
Martha let out a sharp breath, as if in disbelief.
“Okay. I’ll take responsibility. Do whatever you want.”
Raon nodded and lowered his hand.
“You might regret saying that. Let’s go!”
Martha ran out of the castle with Runaan on her shoulder. It seemed like she had gained a lot from training.
“Hey! No, Lord Jeonju?”
Burren glared at Raon and Martha’s backs alternately.
“It’s okay. Enjoy it too.”
Raon opened the conference room door and went in, smiling.
Gooooooooo!
Before a huge round table that seemed to symbolize the continents, six thrones were erected, and on them sat the heads of the Five Emperors and Xanthos.
“Laon! You’re finally here!”
The first one to welcome him was the Beast Alliance’s King, Ogram.
“I heard the news! You saved that old wizard!”
Ogram waved his thick hand like a pot lid, exclaiming, “Well done!”
“Brother! I believed in you!”
“It amazes me every time I see it.”
Garona and the Sran tribe chief standing behind him also spread their hands as if they were happy to see him.
“They say the main character always comes home late.”
King Recross smiled and nodded. Judging by his dark complexion, it seemed he had not fully recovered yet.
“I owe you a lot, but I’m sorry I couldn’t even say goodbye properly.”
Prince Greer bowed deeply as if he was sorry.
“Now, it’s become something that I can’t even look at. I can’t even say I’m jealous.”
Borini Kitten bowed her head with a soft smile.
“Oh, hello?”
Matapju Larian let out a voice as he crawled in with his robe pulled over his head.
“Laon! It’s been a while! I bought three copies of this book! For appreciation, collection, and missionary work!”
On the other hand, Yuria, who seemed to have grown in size, shook the Raon Sieghart biography. I don’t know what you mean by buying three copies of the same book.
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
Raon took a deep breath and bowed his head to those sitting at the round table.
“This is Laon Sieghart, the master of the storm.
Since it was a serious situation, I bowed my head to everyone and stood behind Glenn like Cheryl and Roen.
“Ahem… .”
Glenn hummed softly, as if he was happy that Raon was welcomed by everyone.
-That old man has no intention of hiding anything anymore… .
Lars laughed in disbelief.
“Ugh, I feel tired already.”
Chambers sighed and sat down next to Xanthos.
“Now that everyone is seated, we will begin the Five Emperors’ Meeting.”
Xanthos knocked on the round table with a serious look in his eyes, as if he had been joking.
“The meeting is good, but I have something to do before that.”
Ogram raised his huge body and looked at Raon.
“Wouldn’t it be right to first applaud the wizards of Balkar and the swordsmen of Sieghart who made this place possible?”
He stamped his feet, saying that if it weren’t for the two forces, this place would never have been created.
“That’s true. I was able to save my life thanks to you, Glenn.”
King Recross smiled softly and applauded. Ogram Xanthos, Chamber, and even Matapju Larian applauded him.
‘hmm….’
Raon put strength into his fingertips as he heard the warm sound of applause ringing in his ears.
‘This feels different.’
I was happy when I was cheered on by the people of Balkar in the royal capital, but when I heard words of gratitude from those who stood at the highest point of the continent, my heart pounded as if it would burst.
“The main character seems touched, so let’s begin now.”
Xanthos turned his gaze away from Raon and placed his hand on the round table. His eyes fell sharply like an axe.
“A meeting to crush all the Sima.”
* * *
The tavern, Brown Potion, located on the outskirts of the capital of Balkar, was bustling with customers even in broad daylight during the festival period.
However, it wasn’t just the residents of Balkar who were filling up the place. People from neutral forces who had been invited to the meeting were also enjoying drinks since daytime.
“Have you seen Laon Sieghart?”
“I see. Your eyes naturally go to the face. How can someone look like that?”
“I saw it from the front, and I don’t think even angels look like that.”
“Not only was her appearance good, but her aura was no joke. Just looking at her made my heart feel like it was going to burst.”
“The Gwangpungjeon inspectors standing behind them also seemed to be of a different class….”
The people in the tavern were swallowing the wind as they talked about Raon and Gwangpungjeon, who had entered the palace a little while ago.
“After seeing Gwangpungjeonju in person today, I can now believe the rumor that he killed Heuktapju.”
The red-robed wizard nodded, saying that it was a shocking sensation.
“I don’t know that much. We know best. What kind of monster is Heuktopju?”
The blue-robed wizard frowned, still unable to believe it.
“That’s right.”
A red-haired man wearing a military uniform with a red eagle tattooed on the left chest nodded.
“It’s clear that Gwangpungjeonju is strong. It goes well with the word genius. But it’s different when it kills Heuktapju.”
He narrowed his eyes deeply.
“The Black Tower Master is a monster that even Chamberlain couldn’t catch. That guy would be defeated by Raon Sieghart at the entrance to Transcendence? That’s ridiculous.”
The black-haired man shook his head, saying that it was a low-reliability job.
“The Black Tower has lost its strength….”
“Black Tower Master is a man who always thinks of his own safety first. If Chamberlain had finished it off, then it would be one thing, but it’s hard to believe that Gwangpung Jeonju finished it off.”
He shook his head, saying that you shouldn’t believe all the rumors.
“I think the same. You shouldn’t believe it unconditionally. Black Tower’s body has not been found.”
The knight in silver armor took a quick bite.
“Then why do you say that Heuktapju is dead?”
“If it gets out that such a large-scale operation has failed, it will be a huge problem.”
The black-haired man shook his head, saying that he shouldn’t make decisions based solely on rumors spread outside.
“Now that I think about it, Heuktapju’s body wasn’t there.”
The white-robed wizard swallowed his breath, drawn in by the black-haired man’s words.
“That’s right. They said it was all burned up in the flames of the Gwangpungjeonju…”
“It would be strange to burn it. Just showing the corpse would raise the morale of the entire Five Emperors, but their morale would drop.”
The black-haired man shook his head, saying, “Isn’t that strange?”
“Well, it’s a bit hard to believe it unconditionally.”
“Because our lives are at stake too.”
“Besides, if we side with the Emperor, Sima might attack at any time.”
The neutral forces’ unmanned forces and magicians bit their lips as if they remembered what they had suffered so far.
“Of course, Raon Sieghart may have really caught the Black Tower. However, we must keep in mind that there is also the possibility that that may not be the case. One choice can affect your entire life.”
The black-haired man raised his finger, saying that he needed to use his head well.
“Honestly, I’ll admit that Laon Sieghart is a tough guy, but a whirlwind battle? That’s not it. You can tell just by looking at the kids’ eyes. They’re all dazed. Their level is high, but they don’t know how to fight.”
It was when he was trying to drag Raon down to Gwangpungjeon.
“Then why don’t you tell me? How should I fight?”
Black hair and black eyes sparkling. Martha grabbed the black-haired man’s head with a smile that was more evil than the devil’s.
“Me, Nachalgeom! Wait a minute!”
“Why is your tongue so long?”
Martha ignored the black-haired man’s words and lifted him up by the collar.
“Come out, you little shit!”
