Chapter 582
Looking at the soul sword that Raon placed on the floor, he let out a deep breath.
‘Remember.’
I tried to move the soul sword by arousing the will of the upper rank war, but the sword did not even move as if asking what it was doing.
Whoa!
I tried to raise my level by resonating with the ring of fire like when I was sparring with Sterin, but the requiem sword didn’t shake the slightest, only a low sword sounded as if it was tickling.
“Okay… .”
Raon let out a pained moan as he touched the floor with both arms.
‘Why not?’
In order not to forget the inspiration I got from Dalian, as soon as I returned to my lodging, I practiced instilling my will into the Soul Sword, but I didn’t know that it wouldn’t even move, let alone float.
– Shall I tell you why the main king can’t do it?
Lars sneaked up to me and grabbed my shoulder. His hands were plump and felt like soft rubber.
‘Why not?’
– The reason is simple!
The boy raised his fist boldly.
– It’s not because I’m hungry!
‘… … .’
– Originally, human strength comes from the belly. Since I came here and didn’t eat, how can I be strong!
On the subject of the demon king, Lars made a noise about going to eat, saying that human strength comes from the stomach.
If nothing else, consistency was the best. I wanted to call him the Demon King of Consistency.
‘I’m tired… .’
-It’s real! Believe me once!
‘Go away.’
When Raon pushed the struggling Lars away and tried to focus his mind again, the door of the inn was opened roughly.
Wow!
A foot that appeared to have kicked in the door strode inside.
“Lord… .”
Raon shook his head as he saw Rimer kicking the door when he got home. Come to think of it, this one is also very consistent.
“Didn’t you eat?”
Rimmer put the tray he was holding in his left hand on the table next to the bed.
“You know, I don’t feed you. You have to find it and eat it yourself.”
He grinned, saying that he had already fed Dorian and Yua.
-Oh oh!
Lars exclaimed at the silver lid covering the tray.
-What’s with the ears! Have you finally come to your senses?
He inspected the tray carefully and smacked his lips.
“Thank you for taking care of me.”
Raon got up and bowed his head to Rimmer.
“There will be no luxury like this tomorrow. however… .”
Rimer scanned Raon’s entire body and narrowed his eyes.
“Why do you look so tired?”
“I had a sparring with the guardian a little while ago.”
“Dalian is good. uh? Dalian?”
He widened his eyes as if he hadn’t thought he’d sparred with Sterin.
“really?”
“As the great lord said, the guardian’s archery skills are of a different class. It was a great experience.”
Raon lightly explained the sparring with Sterin.
“her! You gave me a lesson and said to come and see the world tree?”
“yes.”
“My grandfather doesn’t even teach the Guardian himself, so what the hell did he do?”
Rimer laughed, saying he didn’t understand.
“Show me some of the fruit that my grandfather gave me.”
“Ah yes.”
Raon took out a red fruit he hadn’t eaten yet and held it out.
“This is the fruit of the wild rose.”
“The fruit of the mountain rae?”
“There are trees growing around the World Tree that stand on the border between plants and spirits under the influence of the spirit realm. It’s a fruit picked from a tree full of nature’s energy, so it’s more effective than most elixirs.”
He raised his thumbs up, saying that even if his aura didn’t increase significantly, it was great for recovery.
“Can I accept that precious thing?”
“What do you do when you say you give it to me? If you don’t like it, give it to me.”
Rimer held out his hand, saying that he would accept it.
“It’s done.”
Raon shook his head and pulled back the fruit of Sanrae.
“I just looked. You seem to be popular with your grandpas.”
Rimer laughed, saying it was fun.
“Me?”
“okay. The old saint likes you, the old swordsman doesn’t like you now, but at the time he said he would teach you as soon as we met, and the head of the household likes you too.”
“well… .”

Raon calmly shook his head. Even if no one else knew, the head of the family only evaluated them according to their achievements.
The relationship is better than before, but the personal liking will not be so great.
“I don’t know either.”
Rimer sighed and kicked the floor lightly.
“The grandson relationship should be like me and my grandpa. Did you see that I hugged you as soon as I saw you?”
When he returned to Sieghart, he took a hug-like posture, asking Glenn to hug him.
“Are you here to see someone die?”
Raon frowned at the corner of Rimer’s raised mouth.
‘My throat would fly right away, but what?’
Seeing Glenn’s bloody expression would make you fall to your knees even if you tried to hug him.
“It’s true… .”
“Don’t say anything strange. Where have you been, Lord?”
The sparring with Sterin was quite noisy, so the other elves must have known, but it was strange that he didn’t know.
“Erian went out for a while because something strange was happening outside.”
Rimmer nodded, saying yes.
“If it’s strange… .”
“There have been reports of wild animals living in the Great Grove standing in front of Sepia’s entrance.”
“The animals?”
“okay. Originally, he should not have felt anything because of the barrier, but he stood there as if he really wanted to enter. Isn’t it strange?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
When I heard that it was an animal that wanted to enter Sepia, a woman pictured in my mind.
‘It won’t be.’
No matter how much she is, I can’t come here.
-Bo, the king seems to be correct.
Lars twitched his chin and shook his head.
– That madwoman is right!
The guy shook his head, wondering how animals could suddenly become strange.
“Come to think of it, there are no animals in here.”
“Because there is a barrier in Sepia that no one who has not been invited by the elves cannot enter.”
Rimer pointed to the sky with his finger, saying that the brilliant light he had seen when he first came to Sepia was a barrier.
“Seeing that all the animals disappeared after we left, it didn’t seem like a big deal.”
He laughed, saying that since it was right before the purification ceremony, the animals seemed to feel the sharp energy.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
If it was really Merlin, he would give up and find a way somehow. I think I should go out after the purification ceremony and see if it’s Merlin.
“How do you feel about coming to Sepia?”
“It is a mysterious place beyond my imagination. but… .”
“but?”
“It seems that elves are more interested in people and other people than I thought.”
It wasn’t a troublemaker like Rimer, but a few elves smelled like a talkative person.
“You’re saying this because you’re spreading rumors about Shiyan?”
“you’re right.”
“Nice to see you.”
Rimmer nodded calmly without retorting.
“I used to be less, but today I see that I have a lot of interest in other people’s work. I thought I was looking at a human village too.”
He shook his head, saying that it was worse than when he was in Sepia.
“Is it because of your relationship with a person?”
“There is that, and some breakaways come out.”
“A deserter?”
“okay. There are some kids who can’t stand Sepia’s life and have left altogether. It’s because they’ve changed the atmosphere here a lot.”
Rimer’s brow wrinkled slightly, as if it was not a good memory.
“Still, a large number of elves are living a life of being friends with nature and focusing only on themselves.”
He laughed lightly, saying that elves would never turn into humans.
“Ah, I brought rice and took too long.”
Rimmer waved his hand, telling him to eat before it gets cold.
-It looks like he brought a fruit pie that would suit his taste!
Lars, struggling in front of the tray, swallowed.
“thank you. But what about meals?”
Raon nodded to Limer and opened the silver lid that covered the tray.
“hmm?”
-Oh, oh, oh… .
Lars looked at the plate and opened his mouth. The reason why the happy guy was so frightened was simple.
There were two loaves of brown bread on a white plate.
-Me, nadine bread… .
“Now that we’ve come this far, we should try the original.”
Rimer laughed, saying that the original taste would be different.
“Ah yes.”
Raon blinked his eyes while grabbing the nadin bread.
‘I’m fine… .’
To be honest, it didn’t matter because I preferred Nadine Bread, but it was obvious what Lars would look like, as he was looking forward to the food.
– I will kill you!
Lars shook his body and lifted his head.
-I’m going to kill all the siblings!
‘Be still.’
Raon shook his head as he used the ring of fire to suppress Lars.
“I will eat well. thank you.”
“I didn’t know you would really like it. From tomorrow, try to eat a proper meal.”
Rimer shrugged, closed the door, and disappeared.
– Where are you running away! Come out right now!
Lars fluttered his limbs with blue natural flowers blooming in his eyes, probably in genuine anger.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Raon immediately chewed on Nadine bread to calm Lars. It might have been made a little while ago, but it was warm, but the taste and texture of chewing rubber were still the same.
-Turn it off!
Lars, who was having a seizure, drooped as if the wind had gone.
-Tta, how can warm bread be so tasteless… .
The boy gasped as if on his deathbed.
-It is truly the food of demons… .
Lars said he couldn’t stand it any longer and hit his head on the ground.
‘Are you okay?’
because it’s warm It tasted a little better than cold. It’s like warm rubber.
-Boo, I have a request.
‘ask?’
Raon turned his gaze to Lars as he chewed on the half-left Nadine bread.
-Eat at least that fruit… .
Lars put his hands together and asked to refresh his mouth with the fruit of Sanrae.
‘Well, because I have to heal internal wounds.’
Raon couldn’t look away from Lars’ eyes, which had turned into a kitten, and put the fruit he had received from Sterin into his mouth.
The refreshing sweetness, like a mixture of cherries and strawberries, washes the gum-filled mouth.
-Everything, sweet… .
Lars sat down and nodded.
– Thank you.
The guy sniffed and said thank you almost for the first time.
‘What’s this?’
As Raon was about to shake his head, a message appeared in front of his eyes.
[I received a greeting from <Rage>.]
[All stats increase by 2 points.]
‘Do you give me something like this?’
As I was looking at the message in wonder, I heard a sound like Lars’ head hitting the ground.
-… … .
Lars stared blankly at the message, then grabbed his throat with his own hand.
– Just die! I only eat nadin bread every day! What are you doing alive!
Raon shook his head as he chewed on his second slice of bread.
‘I can’t die like that… .’
-Quack!
* * *
Shiyan lifted her eyelids and bit her red lips.
“Neither can.”
I tried to achieve resonance in the way I had learned from my grandfather, but my mind couldn’t get out of this pitiful body like a tightly closed water bottle.
After listening to Raon’s advice, I hoped that I could change a little bit, but it was as expected.
“ha… .”
Shiyan buried her tired face in the blanket. Her golden hair was washed up like low waves.
‘It’s my best effort.’
To be honest, even if it’s not the best, I’ve been making steady efforts. Wanting to become a high elf admired by everyone like his grandfather, he practiced resonance all the time.
This world has never opened a door to me. It was to the point where I doubted that resonance was real.
‘I’m tired. I’m really tired… .’
Shiyan clenched her fists. She raised her body, making veins build up on the back of her transparent hand.
‘I still have to do it.’
Normally, I would lie on the bed thinking that it wouldn’t work anyway and imagine myself being praised, but meeting Raon made me want to try harder.
As Shiyan closed his eyes again and tried to practice resonance, he heard a dull knock at the door. Only one person knocks like that.
“D-Come in.”
She muttered to come in, half covering her face with the blanket.
Sterin cautiously entered and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
“The person you said was great.”
He crossed his arms and smiled broadly.
“It’s a real thing.”
“uh… .”
Seeing Sterrin’s smile, Shiyan widened her eyes. It was the first time her grandfather had ever complimented another person like that.
“Really?”
“okay. I can feel the time spent endlessly swinging the sword with my innate talent. He was a real prosecutor I haven’t seen in a long time.”
“Yes? Because it is!”
As if she had been praised, she lifted the blanket and stood up with joy.
“Jonzalaon burns fire and can freeze ice!”
“Great, I don’t know.”
Sterin shook her hand to stop her granddaughter from talking nonsense.
“I called him to a purification ceremony.”
“Is it a purification ceremony?”
“As a disciple of Rimmer, I thought it would be good to give if I could help. so… .”
He untied his arms and grabbed Shiyan’s shoulder.
“How about you come too?”
“I am… .”
In fact, when I was asked to come before, I refused. She said she would stay in the room because she didn’t want to face the other elves, but strangely, she was brave enough to hear Raon and Limer go together.
Shiyan gave a very small nod while covering her face with a blanket.
“Go, I’ll go.”
* * *
Raon bowed his head to the blue-haired elf.
“Then please.”
“I do my best.”
The heavy-eyed elf looked at the infant and nodded, as if he would not budge even if the world collapsed.
This elf is a musician introduced by Rimmer, and is said to be one of the most talented in Sepia. She came in person because she wanted to entrust her infant to her.
“I will study hard too!”
Yua couldn’t clench both fists and crumpled her forehead. It was cute how her pigtails were waving.
“okay. I’ll be back soon. I’m waiting for you.”
Raon stroked the infant’s head and turned his back.
“Me?”
Dorian’s eyes lit up as if asking what he was doing.
“you… .”
I didn’t really think about it.
He licked his lips and pointed at the infant with his finger.
“You watch the toddler learn well. Don’t do anything else.”
“yes!”
Dorian raised his hand in salute and nodded.
‘Fortunately, it worked.’
Raon shook his head and approached Rimer who was waiting behind him.
“You are really evil too.”
He muttered that he was afraid and shook his shoulders.
“Only the Lord will do it.”
Raon shook his head without losing.
“Once we’re done, let’s go quickly. Inspiration will be waiting for you.”
Rimmer said Sterin valued punctuality and moved quickly.
“Did you hear? They say you got the right to see that human world tree?”
“It deserves it. You’re the King of Spirit’s contract.”
“Well, if you really make a contract with the King of Spirits, it’s not unrelated to the World Tree.”
“Isn’t this the first time humans see the world tree?”
“It is not the first. I heard someone came before… .”
The elves started muttering among themselves as they saw Raon and Rimer passing by.
-You deaf bastards!
Lars screamed at the elves.
-The main king is not the spirit king, but the lord of wrath!
The guy waved his hand wildly, saying not to compare him with the spirit king.
‘okay. yes.’
Raon laughed at Lars screaming evil. I have a leech hedgehog called Ras attached to me, so even if the King of Spirits comes, I will run away. Even if you were chosen by the spirit, it would be difficult to become a contractor.
Leaving the elves to chat freely, I followed Limer and soon arrived in front of the house of the guardian Sterin, whom I had seen yesterday.
“Did you come?”
Sterin lightly raised his hand. He was already out of the house and leaning against a tree.
“What is that?”
Rimmer tilted her head, pointing at the blanket tied tightly next to Sterrin.
“What is it? I am your brother.”
“Ugh… .”
Sterin pricked it with his finger, and the blanket trembled.
“Shyan? Why are you even outside wearing a blanket!”
“Hey, this is comfortable. Nevermind me.”
Shiyan covered not only her body with the blanket, but also her face, letting only her voice flow.
“If you get out of the futon, you’ve got a fatal disease. what.”
Rimmer clicked his tongue briefly and approached Shiyan.
“Sir, don’t worry… .”
Shiyan’s voice became quieter than yesterday, probably because she came out.
“still… .”
“Please stop it.”
Raon grabbed Rimer by the shoulder.
‘Because that must have taken a lot of courage.’
Until yesterday, Shiyan hadn’t shown much interest in purifying the World Tree. He is commendable enough that he came out, whether to attend a purification ceremony or for other reasons.
“Oh, hello. Dear Mr. Raon.”
Shiyan lowered her head with the blanket wrapped around her. She showed only the top of her head, full of blonde hair.
“Ah yes… .”
Raon nodded awkwardly.
‘Everyone is shy, but why does that bastard keep talking?’
I didn’t understand, but I didn’t ask for fear of getting scared.
“Grandpa. I heard you had a fight with Raon the day before yesterday.”
Rimmer looked at Sterine and twitched his eyes.
“How was it? Do you want to hit my apprentice?”
“okay.”
Sterin nodded calmly. However, there was still a remnant of surprise in his eyes.
“It was a waste to be your disciple.”
“Oh oh!”
Rimer twisted his body as if he had been praised.
“I know that monsters sometimes appear in the human world, but that guy is a bit worse. It even makes me think that God and the devil made a mistake.”
Sterin expressed the surprise of the time as it was.
-It’s a mistake.
Lars gave a big nod.
– This guy is a demon who will turn it into hell wherever he goes!
He muttered that he wanted to take him to the Demon Realm and cause a commotion.
“I thought so too from the beginning.”
Rimmer raised his nose and nodded.
“That guy is going to be big.”
He smirked, praising his eyesight.
“Enough of the rubbish, let’s get right into it.”
Sterin watched Raon for a while and then gave a chin gesture.
Raon licked his lips, recalling what Sterin said.
‘You’re going in?’
It was strange to say that he was entering, not going to the place where the World Tree was.
However, what he said was not a lie.
When Sterrin put his hand on his tree house, it swayed as if it had turned into a lake in the air, opening a path of blue light.
As if all the sepias I had been seeing were illusions, the green light turned to blue, and transparent blades of grass filled my eyes.
The green wind whipped her hair, the blue drops wet her skin, and the yellow earth gave off a soft comfort.
Lastly, the thick flame drew a hand thick in the air as if dancing along with my breath.
Raon’s fingertips trembled as he looked at the path of blue light that opened in a circle.
I see a thick tree that doesn’t come in at a glance.
The roots stretched out magnificently, as if they stretched across the entire continent, the circumference of the base was so thick that even if all the people living in Sieghart gathered together, it was too thick to hold, and the height was like a pillar supporting the sky, even if you lift your eyes, the tip could not see
The transparent leaves attached to the branches that are hard to count are fluttering as if welcoming, and I felt a sense of mystery as if it was not from another world. Even the word beautiful could not describe the World Tree.
‘Is this the World Tree Adrian… .’
Raon swallowed dry saliva and entered the green road.
‘By the way, are those burn marks?’
It was when he saw that the right side of the World Tree had turned a little black and thought it was strange.
Whoaaaaa!
The ring of fire oscillated on its own, dyeing my eyes red.
