Chapter 366
Raon packed his things at the lodging and went out to the entrance of Weathers Village. The iron gates and walls that had collapsed were neatly repaired under Henderson’s direction.
‘I can go back now.’
There were no enemies or monsters approaching the village, and the people had found some stability, and because Henderson remained, he was able to leave without any burden.
Monsters could come out after Drake disappeared, but that was a long time later, so I thought of going back and asking Sepia to dispatch unmanned soldiers.
-… I did
When I was waiting for Dorian in front of the iron gate, I heard Lars’ voice as if it was going down in the basement.
-Yes, I should have decided that it was a specialty product, not raspberry pie and braised chestnuts. I should have… .
‘How long are you going to stay like that?’
Lars had been repeating that word like a parrot ever since he received raspberry macaroons and chestnut soup from Lucy, the granddaughter of the village headman.
I felt like I was out of my mind because I was upset.
-I should have decided that it was a specialty product, not raspberry pie and braised chestnuts… .
‘hey… .’
-Anyway, it’s a new product at a time like this, it’s clear that the world hates the original king… Big!
Tears welled up in his eyes, saying that he had lost a bet he expected to win because of the world’s coercion.
‘It’s kind of pitiful.’
I felt sorry for the guy who sang the food song as if he was breathing.
‘Macaroons are a bit boring… .’
I’ll have to buy some mint chocolate as soon as I get back.
I couldn’t eat the macarons because I promised Denning Rose that I would bring back the local specialties.
I decided to go back to Sepia store and buy Lars what he wanted to eat.
“Unstoppable Lord!”
As I was tapping Lars’ head, who was whimpering, Dorian burst out of the quarters.
“All preparations are complete.”
Dorian laughed as he rubbed his stomach pouch.
I still couldn’t believe that there were two wagons and a 35m long drake in that little pocket.
“Then let’s go.”
Raon smiled and nodded towards the door.
“Are you going without saying goodbye?”
Dorian tilted his head as he looked around the village.
“What else are you trying to show condescension?”
“No, I’m not trying to be condescending, just a greeting… .”
“You got enough thanks. It’s better to go quietly without having to burden sick people.”
“yes… .”
Dorian’s answer got longer, as if he didn’t like it.
When Raon patted Dorian on the shoulder and tried to jump over the wall, many signs moved from behind.
“Benefactor!”
“I knew it!”
“As expected, you are leaving.”
Villagers with bandages on their bodies rushed out and ran to Raon and Dorian.
“You really come and go like the wind. Thank you. Other than that, I have nothing else to say.”
The village chief closed his mouth and bent his back.
“Thank you!”
The villagers also bowed their heads following the village chief’s greeting. He could tell what they thought of him just by hearing his thick, trembling voice.
Raon greeted the villagers and smiled.
“I hope you take good care of yourself.”
“Um… .”
“Benefactor… .”
I just said what I wanted to not be humble, but the villagers bit their lips as if they were more moved by the words.
“At times like this, it’s so neat and normal, but why do you sometimes go out of your mind… Ugh!”
I heard Dorian’s muttering voice behind me. As I glared at him, he twitched his shoulders and backed away from him.
“Benefactor!”
I raised my gaze to the child’s voice. Lucy, the granddaughter of the village chief who gave me the raspberry macaroons earlier, was running with two baskets of her own.
“Hey, take this.”
A sweet yet refreshing scent wafted from the basket.
“It’s raspberry pie.”
“pie? Why this?”
“When I gave you macarons earlier, you seemed to like it, so I prepared them.”
Lucy bowed her head in shame.
‘I liked it… .’
He covered his mouth and laughed at Lars, but he seemed to think he liked it when he saw that.
– Aaaaaaaaagh!
Lars shrieked as he put his face into the basket.
-Why are you giving me this right now? Did you give it to me? That must be the messenger of God! You’re making fun of the king!
The guy twisted his chubby cotton candy body, saying that he had to destroy the apostle of God.
“thank you.”
Raon kicked the struggling Lars away and took the basket of raspberry pies.
“no. No, please enjoy it.”

Lucy smiled and shook her head.
“I’ll hear you back later.”
Raon looked at the eyes of the villagers filled with gratitude in turn and turned his back.
“Goodbye! I will definitely come back!”
Dorian greeted them lively and followed them.
“Are you really coming back?”
“okay.”
Raon smiled and nodded to Dorian.
-Huh! I should have decided that it was a specialty product, not raspberry pie and braised chestnuts… .
‘It’s a start again.’
Even after leaving town, Lars’ babble continued. Looking at the condition, it seemed like it would last for a few days.
“The sub-lord.”
As he was about to mount his horse out of town, Dorian approached him.
“Because there are two pies. How about eating one while it’s still hot?”
-Sa, not raspberry pie and braised chestnuts, but specialties.
As soon as Dorian said to eat the pie, Lars’ screams stopped. His gaze, which had been blankly gazing at the sky, also turned slightly this way.
‘no way… .’
It’s this raspberry pie that made Ji that way. Is it an appetite?
She smiled and opened one of the baskets. He gave Dorian a raspberry pie cut into five pieces and held up the second piece.
-gulp!
The sound of saliva going down Lars’ throat rang in his ears like thunder.
‘This demon king is really… .’
Raon shook his head and put the raspberry pie in his mouth.
The warm yet crispy crust delights the palate, and the sweetness of raspberries full of juice entwines the entire tongue and does not let go. Finally, the savory taste of toasted almonds neatly decorated the end.
A smile comes out of nowhere It was so delicious that I could understand why it was rumored to be a local specialty.
-Hey… .
I turned to Lars at the sound of laughter filled with excitement.
The focus returned to the dazed eyes, and the corners of the mouth rose without knowing that they were high in the sky.
-It’s delicious.
I was dumbfounded to see him grinning while holding his chubby cheeks.
‘What is he really?’
Are you the devil of wrath?

Rimer stood in front of the annex with a wobbly gait, as if he were a fool.
smart.
I knocked lightly on the door, and Helen, the maid of honor, opened the door and came out.
“Lord Gwangpungdan?”
“hello.”
Rimer smiled broadly and waved his hand.
“long time no see. What did you come to the annex for?”
“Is Silvia-sama there?”
“Oh, please wait a moment.”
Helen bowed her head and walked down the hallway.
“It’s easy to come in.”
Rimer looked around the annex and smiled.
‘It’s strange that such a cold guy came out of such a happy place.’
Even just entering the annex, you can feel that the atmosphere here is the warmest in Sieghart.
I couldn’t believe that a monster kid like Raon was born in such a cozy place.
“uh? Prosecutor Rimer!”
“It’s an elf man!”
Julius and Yua, who were passing through the corridor, saw Rimer and stopped.
The two of them were quite close because they met every time he skipped training and went to play with Loen.
“Why are you here?”
The two children looked up at Rimmer and tilted their heads.
“that is… .”
“Rimer.”
As Rimmer tried to answer, Sylvia walked out from the end of the hallway.
“Did you come here because of Raon’s work?”
“no. That’s not it.”
Rimer lightly shook his head.
“okay.”
Sylvia lowered her head with an ambiguous look, whether it was fortunate or disappointing.
“You are surprisingly calm.”
Rimer looked at Sylvia’s sunken eyes and smiled lightly.
“I thought you would worry while shaking.”
“I am concerned. A child who was kidnapped a while ago, how can I not be worried?”
Sylvia let out a low sigh.
“It’s just that I can’t wear it in my arms forever, and worrying about it won’t change anything. All I can do is trust Raon so that he can feel at ease.”
She closed her eyes slightly and opened them. Her red eyes, as if shaped like rubies, radiated a lofty light.
Rimer met those eyes and smiled.
‘It’s different.’
When Raon was a trainee, I cried and begged him to take care of me, but now, despite his worries, he firmly believes in Ai.
Just as Raon grew taller, it seemed that Sylvia’s heart also grew.
‘Looking at it this way, it’s the same.’
It looks weak, but those eyes resemble Glenn and Raon. It was a family that could not be helped no matter what anyone said.
“Do not worry too much.”
Rimer smiled at Sylvia.
“Because I’m not the kind of guy who will go around getting beaten up. You also heard that Garona and Cadiz were beaten up. We are prepared for kidnapping, so you can rest your mind.”
“I feel a little relieved when you say that.”
Sylvia smiled softly and nodded.
“If it wasn’t Raon’s business, why did you come to the annex?”
“Oh, because of them.”
Rimer lowered his finger and pointed at the young child and Julius, who were standing in a daze.
“I’m trying to scout these guys with the Gwangpungdan.”
“scout?”
“Gwangpungdan?”
Yua tilted her head, and Julius opened his eyes at the sound of a gangster.
“okay. Are you entering the Gwangpungdan where Raon saved you? how is it? It’s good?”
“and! I want to go!”
“Please let me in!”
The infant raised a hand, and Julius grabbed Rimmer by the sleeve and shook it.
“Heh heh! okay. okay. Let’s start with our seal.”
Rimer held onto Yua and Julius’ hands tightly with an expression that would make anyone call him an impostor.
“Hey, wait!”
Sylvia hurriedly intervened, separating Rimmer and the children.
‘His eyes were so strange.’
With a face that could have been made by someone crazy about gambling, he blocked the children without even realizing it.
“Oh, what are you going to do with the kids?”
“I just want to get some help.”
Rimmer looked at Yua and Julius and shrugged.
“Soon the rag inspiration will bring the children.”
“Are you a saint?”
“yes. The children who come with me are badly hurt, so I want Yua and Julius to help.”
He looked at Julius and Yua with a somewhat bitter look.
“I see, but why did you tell Yua and Julius about the gangsters… .”
“Oh, that’s true too.”
Rimmer patted Yua and Julius’ heads and smiled.
“As soon as Raon returns, Gwangpungdan will be promoted to Gwangpungdae.”

Cood de deuk!
A terrifying roar that sounded like continents splitting came from the underground cavity of the Robert family that nurtured the shadows.
Derus Robert. It was the sound of his stomping as his face turned red. He had only pressed his feet into the ground, and there was a huge hole in the floor with no end in sight.
“Whoa… .”
Even then, as if his anger hadn’t subsided, Derus clenched his fists until they bleed. Red blood dripped from the back of his hand and from his grip down the dark hole.
“My lord.”
When Derus was about to stomp again, Rezel came out of the darkness and knelt down.
“Did you know?”
“yes.”
Rezel nodded and raised her gaze. A stream of red air full of murderous intent rippled from Derus’ eyes.
‘I’m going to die just by looking at you.’
With the recent damage severe, not only Roctan and Poison, but also the informant sent to gather information disappeared, so it was not strange that Derus was angry.
No, I’m holding back because it’s Derus. If it was someone else, it would have already exploded.
“It is said that there were monsters from the Black Tower, not Raon.”
“Black Tower?”
“yes. Looks like they were targeting Drake. It is said that the body and traces of the black water field have been confirmed.”
“her… .”
Derus laughed and dropped his gaze.
“So you didn’t catch Raon Sieghart, who was told to be caught, and waged a war against the Black Tower?”
“It seems so.”
Rezel trembled and nodded. She kept serving Derus, but it had been a long time since she had caused this level of murder.
“What about Raon Sieghart?”
“It is said that they arrived late and cleaned up the tired Black Water Field and Rocktan. They saved people and even took Drake’s body… .”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa… .”
Derus looked up at the blackened ceiling and sighed deeply.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
He wiped his forehead with his blood-drenched hand and burst into madness.
“I don’t know if I’m lucky or if I’m playing the world. I still can’t make a proper judgment about him.”
Derus Robert lowered his head. The eyes, which were filled with anger and murderous intent, cooled as cold as ice.
“My lord?”
“Don’t run into Raon Sieghart for a while. Gather information instead. Use the northern line to gather all the information from when he was born until now.”
“All right.”
Rezel swallowed dry saliva and nodded.
“Don’t be careless any longer.”
Derus smiled lightly and brushed the blood from the wound on the back of his hand down the dark hole.
“I’ll figure out everything about you and tell you the end.”

Raon headed to Lokhan’s black market first before returning to Sepia. When I followed the road as I was first guided, Denning Rose was waiting for me in a small room.
“You worked hard. and… .”
Denning Rose got up from her seat and bowed. It was a polite yet self-respecting attitude.
“Thank you for avenging Ferencz’s enemies.”
It’s a name I’ve never heard of, but I think I know who it’s talking about. It was clear that the agent who had endured to the end and delivered information about the Black Tower even in the state of being hit by the mana of darkness.
“He should be able to go in peace now.”
I feel deep sadness in the words that I spit out calmly. The agent called Ferencz seemed to be someone Denning Rose cared for.
“I only met him once and briefly, but he was a respectable person.”
Raon closed his eyes and opened his mouth. He doesn’t sound like a pretense. It was doubtful whether even he could survive with the carbon technique while being hit by the mana of darkness.
“It happened because of us, so I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
Raon and Dorian bowed their heads.
“no. He was commissioned, so he just did his job. In the end, they saved people too, so they would be satisfied.”
Denning Rose laughed lightly, telling me not to say such a thing. The equilibrium that comes in an instant. He looked like an heir to the black market.
“Please sit down.”
I sat down on the chair across from her.
“We intend to protect Weathers Village for a while. Since the Drake who reigned like a king in the mountains has disappeared, there is a possibility that monsters will dig into the gap.”
“okay.”
Denning Rose seems to have had similar thoughts.
‘Then it’s more secure.’
The black market seemed to think of people first, befitting a group formed by the lower classes who were oppressed at the bottom of society.
In return, of course, he might get the right to distribute raspberries and chestnuts in Weathers Village, but that would benefit both sides.
“Dorian.”
Raon nodded, calling out to Dorian.
“yes.”
He understood Dorian’s words, reached into his belly pocket, took out a basket and a box, and set them on the table.
“This… .”
“It is a promise. and… .”
Raon smiled lightly and opened the lid of the basket and box. The raspberry macaron and raspberry pie from Weathers Village appeared.
“They were kept thanks to the help of the branch manager and agents.”
“is that so.”
Denning Rose smiled and popped a piece of pie into his mouth. Her eyes widened like her moonballs. She had such an expression that she didn’t know it would be delicious.
“Oh, it is delicious. The crust is still crispy, and the sweet flesh overflows!”
“Try the macarons too. They said it was a new product that hadn’t been released yet.”
“body… .”
As if he was satisfied with the pie, Denning Rose’s eyes twinkled as he looked at the macarons. She quickly took her hand and bit into the macaron as well.
“Hey, this is delicious too. No, honestly, I prefer this one. These days, macarons are too sweet, but these macarons are not stimulating sweetness, but the harmony of fresh fruit juice and soft macarons like bread makes it so fresh. Much better than those made by patissiers in big cities like Cameloon or Locan… Ugh!”
Denning Rose blushed when she saw Raon and Dorian gaping blankly.
“You seem to like dessert.”
Raon smiled as he saw the macaron shaking in Denning Rose’s hand.
‘There are no gaps.’
I thought he was a iron-blooded person because he was so smart, but seeing the way he blushed while expressing the taste of the dessert, he finally seemed to be my age.
-The king likes it too. Eat only one… .
‘You’re a bit out of it.’
I lightly pushed Lars, who was clinging to the macarons.
“Joe, I like you a little bit.”
Denning Rose answered with her head bowed. She had her ear lobes red.
“Se, the other heirs of Sepia Firm are also returning with their own items!”
It seemed clear that he was trying to change the topic, but Raon smiled and moved on.
“Do you know what it is?”
“yes. Sure.”
Denning Rose nodded and set the half of the macarons aside. Seeing her eyes tremble, it seemed that she was barely holding back what she wanted to eat.
– I, did not stay. The main king… .
Lars, whining by the side, and Denning Rose, who couldn’t take her eyes off the dessert, seemed like a good match.
“The third, Palen Sepia, got the best claws, teeth, and horns, and the second, Dialun Sepia, is said to be bringing a whole stuffed drake. And the first, Jesser Sephia… .”
Denning Rose’s gaze turned to Dorian. she continued, swallowing her dry saliva.
“Drake. He also said that he was in the process of catching and bringing a special drake.”
“A special Drake? Like we caught?”
“yes. They say it’s a wind attribute drake. I haven’t been told exactly how big the Drakes are in the Zamari Mountains, but they’re huge and I wonder if they’ll be able to beat them… .”
“How much?”
“I heard that it is over 25m. It’s really not that common.”
Raon and Dorian, who heard her words, looked at each other and raised their mouths.
“Is it 25m?”
“It’s 25m… .”
barely?
