Episode 974
The first emperor to enter the conference room was Xanthos.
He walked up to the stage with leisurely steps and looked at the people sitting at the round table.
“I am Xanthos, King of Balkar.”
Xanthos first bowed his head to the leaders of the neutral forces, welcoming them to Balkar.
“Before we begin our meeting, I would like to first thank you for coming here.”
He smiled softly and said he was truly grateful.
“No! We appreciate it!”
“That’s right. When will we ever be able to enter this great hall of Balkar alive again?”
“It’s an honor just to be called!”
The leaders of the forces that originally followed the Emperor bowed deeply in gratitude for being invited to this festive event.
“Hmm….”
“Well, he came when I called him….”
“It’s not like I deserve to hear a thank you….”
“I wonder what you’re going to say.”
On the other hand, the leaders of the neutral forces who had not yet decided on their affiliations looked around in fear and wavered.
“That alone… .”
“majesty!”
As Xanthos nodded, a middle-aged man with a red eagle tattooed on his chest stood up. He bit his lip, clutching his dark, bruised eyelids.
“Oh, Sairan family. It’s been a while.”
Xanthos raised his hand as if he was glad to see me.
“I don’t know if Your Majesty knows, but there are people in the capital who are currently committing violent acts! They are setting traps and trying to… .”
It was when Sairan Gaju was gritting his teeth and trying to explain what had happened.
“Your Majesty. Are you here first?”
Raon re-entered the conference room and bowed his head to Xanthos.
“As the owner of this place, wouldn’t it be right to greet you first?”
Xanthos nodded, saying that it was only natural.
“But… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Sairan family head standing in front of Xanthos.
“What’s going on? It doesn’t look like a good atmosphere.”
“Ah, the Sairan family has something to tell me. I heard there’s a group in the capital that’s causing trouble by force.”
Xanthos lowered his eyebrows, saying that if there was such a person, he should be dealt with immediately.
“I’m sure everyone else is busy, so I’ll take care of it.”
Raon smiled and approached Sairan.
“Sir? Could you explain it to me?”
He put his arm around Sairan’s shoulder, arousing a faint aura of murder.
-This is also like a gangster… .
Las shook his head, saying it was a common sight among people being robbed in back alleys.
“Oh, no. I just… .”
Sairan Gaju swallowed dry saliva repeatedly as he looked at Raon’s eyes that were sparkling brightly.
“I, I didn’t speak properly, so Your Majesty must have misunderstood! There were some guys doing strange things, and the Gwangpungjeonju and his men here took care of it all! That was it! Yes!”
He muttered that he had misspoke, his shaking eyes moving from side to side.
“Oh, I see. That’s good.”
Xanthos smiled and nodded.
“Thank you. Thank you for taking care of it.”
He patted Raon on the shoulder and said, “You worked hard.”
“No. It’s something that should be done.”
Raon shook his head, saying it was nothing.
“But, it doesn’t look like the Sairan family leader’s condition is good.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly and pulled the Sairan family head away from the round table.
“Ugh… .”
The Sairan family tried to hold on to the round table somehow, but of course, it was not enough to withstand their own strength.
“I will take you to the infirmary, my lord.”
“Oh, please do that.”
Xanthos said it was good and went back up onto the stage.
“Now, wait a minute! Your Majesty! I was wrong… huff!”
Raon pressed his finger against Sairan Gaju’s shoulder to prevent him from opening his mouth.
“Is anyone else in pain?”
Sairan led the family to the exit and gestured to the people sitting at the round table.
“Oh, no!”
“I’m fine!”
“Yes! I don’t mind having meetings all day!”
The leaders of the neutral forces who had been giving weak answers to Xanthos changed their attitudes and shook their heads fiercely.
“thank god.”
Raon left the conference room with only Sairan as the head of the household, smiling coldly.
Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Not long after, a throat-rending scream could be heard from the back of the conference room.
“Huh huh!”

“You didn’t kill him, did you?”
“no way….”
The leaders of the neutral forces cowered and trembled like herbivores hearing the howls of a wild beast.
“Tsk tsk.”
“That’s why you should have stood in line from the beginning.”
“Or at least you’re quick-witted.”
The leaders of the forces that had originally entrusted their backs to the Emperor curled the corners of their lips as if they found the sight funny.
“what?”
“These little rats!”
“If you don’t close your mouth, I’ll cut out your tongue right now.”
The leaders of the neutral forces gnashed their teeth and glared at the forces on the other side, the Five Emperors.
“If you are not feeling well, you can tell us at any time. Our Gwangpungjeonju will take care of you.”
Xanthos nodded as he looked at the leaders of the neutral forces sitting on the right side of the round table.
“No, not at all!”
“Yes! I’m fine!”
“Is it okay if we have meetings like this for over 10 hours?”
As soon as Raon’s name was mentioned, the leaders of the neutral forces shook their shoulders as if they had seen a ghost. They looked as if they would listen to anything they said.
“Huh? Why is the atmosphere like this?”
“The conference room is always like this.”
As the air in the conference room grew heavy, Ogram and Chambers came in. The two nodded slightly and went up to the podium.
“Ugh… .”
“… … .”
Larian sat down on the throne at the end, his robes pulled down low as if he did not want to attract people’s attention, while Recross walked towards the podium with a more confident gait so as not to show his injury.
Gooooooo.
Glenn entered the conference room with a cold gaze, as if he were surrounded by ice. He walked over as if it were a given and buried his back against the throne set up in the center.
“Meet the Emperor!”
The leaders of the forces following the Five Emperors simultaneously stood up and bowed.
“Hmm….”
“See the Emperor.”
The leaders of the forces that still maintained neutrality also took notice and slightly lowered their heads.
“You are not our subordinates, so there is no need to greet us with such formalities.”
Ogram waved his hand, saying a normal greeting would suffice.
“Okay. You can take it easy.”
Chambers waved his hand, saying he didn’t like the heavy atmosphere.
“Whatever it is, hurry up….”
Larian just ripped the robe covering her head, asking for it to be over quickly.
“You shouldn’t rush me. The important thing is the content of the meeting.”
Recross made a circle with his finger, telling the meeting to focus.
“Let’s start now.”
Glenn nodded thinly, as if to start the meeting right away.
“I will close the door.”
As Roen was about to close the conference room door, a bloody hand popped out.
“Sorry I’m late.”
It was Raon. He smiled brightly, wiping the blood from his cheek with the back of his hand.
“Get started.”
Raon closed the conference room door while wiping his bloody hands with a white handkerchief.
Squeak.
The heads of the neutral forces began to turn pale as the giant door slammed shut, creating an uneasy sound.
Kuung!
* * *
“… That’s why we need your strength.”
Xanthos reiterated what had come out of the first meeting and asked for help from the heads of the major powers sitting around the round table.
“Of course!”
“Just leave it to me!”
“We won’t let even a single baby ant escape our sphere of influence!”
The leaders of the forces that had climbed onto the Five Emperors’ Road clasped their hands together in front of them, shouting for them to be trusted.
“Hmm….”
“Ha, I can do it….”
“That’s….”
However, the leaders of the neutral forces who had come with the intention of raising the ransom from the beginning were unable to give an immediate answer and were hesitant.
“Tsk.”
Raon clicked his tongue roughly as if he didn’t like it and raised his finger, which was still covered in blood.
“Huh!”
“Ha, I will do it.”
“Just leave it to me!”
The leaders of the neutral forces nodded vigorously, saying that they would participate in the search without receiving any compensation.
“Really? Thank you!”
Xanthos shouted out his gratitude and took the hands of each of the neutral faction leaders.
“I didn’t know it could be solved this easily….”
Recross let out a hollow laugh, as if it was absurd.
“Yeah. I thought it would take a long time….”
Larian smiled broadly from inside her robe, saying that she didn’t know it would be resolved this quickly. She was glad that she could go out soon.
“Thanks to Raon.”
Chambers grinned with a candy in his mouth.
“We have the status and age. It’s hard to move around recklessly, but Raon has the power and status, but he’s still young. He can do whatever he wants.”
She nodded, saying that things went well thanks to Raon.
“This is our Emperor’s lucky charm.”
Ogram drew a refreshing smile, saying that the more you look at him, the more you become attached to him.
“Keep going!”
Glen covered his mouth with his hand and trembled as if he had reached the limit of his emotions at hearing Raon’s praise from the other Emperors. If he had been provoked just a little more, it seemed like an earthquake would have occurred here like it had in Sieghart.
“It’s all done. All the leaders here said they would help us.”
Xanthos nodded as he looked at the five emperors sitting on their thrones.
“…Thank you.”
Glenn desperately tried to calm his emotions and made eye contact with those sitting at the round table.
“Absolutely not!”
“Oh, thank you! Rather, it is an honor!”
The leaders of the neutral forces waved their hands as if they saw Raon’s face in Glenn.
“The meeting went well, so let’s go back.”
Glenn got up from his throne, saying that people seemed uncomfortable and that they should go back first.
“really?”
Larian kicked the chair away as if he had been waiting and jumped down from the stage.
“All right.”
“Then shall we have a drink?”
Recross and Ogram also got up as if they were happy.
“Please take care of the remaining work, Your Majesty and the Lord of the Wind.”
Chambers winked at Xanthos and Raon and left the conference room for the last time.
“Then, let’s take our leave now…”
“It would be rude to stay too long.”
“wait a minute.”
As the leaders of the neutral forces were about to follow the Emperor out, Raon closed the conference room door again.
“Isn’t it important to make promises between people? I trust you, but if you break it, you need to be punished.”
Raon took out dozens of contracts from his subspace pocket with a cool smile.
“Just read it and sign below. You don’t have to read the punishment part because it’s too immersive. It’s for people who don’t keep their promises.”
I prepared a contract in advance because it was obvious that if you force a promise, there will be people who won’t keep it.
“Oh, you guys can go first.”
Raon smiled faintly and sent away those who had been on the side of the Emperor from before.
“Yes. Then we will go first.”
“Good luck.”
Those carrying the Five Emperors on their backs waved their hands mockingly at the leaders of the neutral forces and left the conference room.
“Your Majesty, you go first. I will follow after I finish tidying up this place.”
“I don’t know if I can say this, but no matter how I look at you, you seem to have been born with the makings of a king.”
Xanthos gushed that Raon was the most king-worthy person he had ever seen.
-This crazy guy!
Lars let out a gasp of disbelief.
-This isn’t a kingdom of gangsters! What country’s king would play around like this!
The guy grabbed Xanthos by the collar, asking if he was out of his mind.
“Anyway, I think it would be better for me to go first.”
Xanthos licked his lips as if it was good and went out.
“Ugh… .”
“shit!”
“Why did I come here…?”
The leaders of the neutral forces signed the contract with trembling hands.
-This is a real den of gangsters!
Lars’s chin shook as he watched the people forcibly writing contracts.
-Was the human world such a mess?
* * *
Raon left the conference room after taking the contracts written by the leaders of the neutral forces.
-How did this guy end up like this? He was poisonous from the beginning, but he didn’t destroy his humanity.
Lars shook his head, saying he must have taught her wrong.
‘It’s not all bad.’
Raon shook his head as he unfolded the contract.
‘Because we promised to give them compensation if they properly fulfilled the contract.’
If you keep whipping the horse, it won’t go forward and will just sit there. In order to give the neutral forces hope, a clause was written in the contract that a large reward would be given if Sima’s traces were discovered.
-anyhow….
Lars frowned at himself.
-They say one head is spinning like crazy.
The guy was blabbering on about how he didn’t know people well.
‘It’s not that great.’
It was when Raon smiled faintly and headed towards the palace.
“evil!”
A black-haired girl walking across from me screamed.
“Laon!”
The black-haired girl ran to him in one breath and hugged him. Tears rose up in her green eyes as if they were going to burst.
“Lensia?”
The girl who ran to him was Lencia, who had contributed the most to opening the dimension of the Black Tower in Montiro.
I couldn’t see you because you were in the middle of intensive training, but it seems like it’s finally over now.
“As soon as Lencia got here, she said she wanted to see you.”
Olga, who was standing behind Lencia, shrugged her shoulders. It seemed like she had guided them here.
“You should have told me you were coming!”
Lencia sniffled, asking why she didn’t speak first.
“I didn’t want to disturb you while you were practicing.”
Raon said sorry and patted Lencia on the back.
“How have you been?”
“Yes….”
Lencia nodded, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.
“I had a great time because my teacher took such good care of me.”
She nodded, saying that it was such a happy time.
“That’s good. Then learning magic is fun….”
Raon opened his eyes wide as he brought out the word magic.
‘no way….’
Have you already created a circle?
I felt a ring of mana inside Lencia’s heart. It seemed that she had already reached the realm of the first circle.
“I became a 1st circle wizard!”
Lencia boasted that she had completed the first circle this time, sticking her belly out like a frog.
“under…”
Raon let out a sigh as he looked into Lencia’s light green eyes.
‘The growth rate is crazy?’
It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Lencia since I’ve been to the room of the ego, but in reality, the time that has passed has not been that long.
No matter how much Chamber taught me and how talented I was, I never thought I would become a first-circle member.
-You’re a genius.
Lass whetted his appetite, saying it was a pearl buried in the mud.
“You worked really hard!”
Lencia raised her hands above her head.
“I wanted to help Raon and the teacher!”
She laughed, saying she wanted to get stronger quickly so she could fight like him.
“I see.”
Raon smiled faintly and patted Lencia’s head.
‘To be honest….’
I wish this war would end before you become stronger.
Since birth, Lencia has lived a life of suffering, chained to the black tower.
I didn’t want to drag a child who had just learned happiness into war and make him suffer.
If possible, I wanted to end the war before Lencia became stronger and open a peaceful era.
-hmm….
Lars looked at himself and licked his lips briefly.
-You seemed like a celestial before, but now you seem like a demon.
The guy shook his head, saying that he couldn’t hate her at all.
“Okay. I’ll take good care of it.”
However, he nodded, saying that there was no need to take away Lencia’s passion.
“Yes! I’ll get to Circle 2 quickly….”
It was when Lencia nodded and raised two fingers.
TOOQUAAAAHHHH!
A huge pillar of light fell from the sky and covered the center of the royal capital.
Woof woof woof!
A white-winged being descends proudly amidst a splendid and sacred halo of light.
Blonde hair and blue eyes. Her blue eyes, which seemed to contain all the nobility of the world, curved downwards as if to announce the end.
As the heavens sang and the earth beat its regular drum, a noble being raised a staff with golden scales.
“The fish and the stick… .”
Olga’s eyes widened as she looked at the golden staff held by the blonde-haired, blue-eyed being.
“Do you know who it is?”
Raon turned his gaze to Olga while holding Lencia in his arms.
“archangel….”
Olga swallowed hard, as if it was difficult to even say the word archangel.
“Raphael.”
