As soon as Chad, the non-banquet owner, came out of the family exhibition, he ran to the top floor of the non-banquet building.
In an old-fashioned office overlooking the entire Sieghardt building, a middle-aged woman with long white hair neatly tied back and wearing round glasses was reading a book the size of her palm.
“Hoeju!”
Chad put his face in front of the white-haired woman.
“Because I’m not curious about your face. “Stay away.”
The middle-aged woman pushed Chad’s face away without taking her eyes off the book.
“And the non-banquet host is no longer me, it’s you. “How long are you going to call me Hoeju?”
“Well, that’s right. “I was so embarrassed that I didn’t even realize it.”
Chad blushed and lowered his head.
“Then, Alyssa.”
“why?”
The gaze of a middle-aged woman called Alyssa turned to Chad for the first time.
“We’re in big trouble!”
“okay. It wouldn’t be normal for you to be embarrassed. but… .”
Alyssa sighed and closed the book.
“As I said a little while ago, you are now the head of the non-banquet, not me, and it is you who must make decisions and judge. “You can’t grow if you keep listening to my opinions and only following my thoughts.”
She patted Chad on the shoulder like a grandmother admonishing her grandchild.
“Well, I know that… .”
“That’s enough. “This is a place where non-banquet owners hang out and eat, so get out.”
She waved her hand, mumbling something about not bothering retired people.
“War!”
Chad screamed.
“The matriarch is trying to start a war!”
“Yes?”
Perhaps it was unexpected, and Alyssa dropped the book.
“Starting a war? now?”
“Well, not now, but three years later.”
“Whoa, explain.”
Alyssa took off her glasses and turned around. That alone changes her mood. From a kind middle-aged woman, the look in the eyes of a heroine running across the continent holding her rain banquet in one hand came to life.
“This time, Gwangpungdan… .”
Chad told me everything about the incident on the Gazelle River and the Battle of Gazelle.
“It seems like those three people especially care about Raon Sieghardt. It’s not just because he’s talented, it’s like he’s special… .”
“Hehe!”
Alyssa smiled softly as she looked at Chad.
“Ooh, this is nothing to laugh about! “It’s real!”
“You’re still young.”
“yes?”
“You’re looking at them wrong.”
She waved her hand and leaned back in her chair.
“The head of the family is colder than he looks. He is a man who doesn’t even care about his children when it comes to his goals. “Your cold eyes and spirit were the same as a while ago, so what kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
“They are really planning to erase the North-South alliance because of Raon!”
“It’s not because of the North-South alliance.”
Alyssa laughed.
“No, really… .”
“Do you know who I am?”
“Yeah… .”
“say it.”
“This is Alisa, the White Hawk, the queen of information who always led Sieghart to victory!”
Chad straightened his posture as if he had done it a lot and cried out Alyssa’s tinnitus.
“okay. It’s Alyssa. “You don’t trust me?”
Even Alyssa’s benevolent tone returned to her youth.
“The reason the head of the family, the Great Lord of the Heavenly Swords, and Lord Loen are angry is because the bastards of the North-South Alliance have crossed over into our territory without even knowing the subject. “Your pride was hurt because you ignored the value of Sieghardt’s name.”
“Well, I thought that too at first, but only for Raon… .”
“Write it. who am I?”
Alyssa frowned and licked her lips.
“Queen of information! “This is White Hawk Alyssa!”
“okay. My name is Alyssa. Have you seen the matriarch much? “I’ve seen the head of the family a lot.”
“White Hawk Alyssa has seen a lot!”
“Then who is right?”
“Usually it’s Alyssa, but this is really… .”
“Tsk!”
“It’s White Hawk Alyssa!”
Chad lowered his head with his eyes tightly closed.
‘It’s not real.’
Glenn, Cheryl, and Loen were not just angry because their territory was being invaded, but they gave off a bloody atmosphere when their precious child was beaten by someone else.
There was a tendency to completely destroy the North-South alliance, but Alyssa did not understand that.
“excuse me… .”
“What else?”
“You really didn’t have much interest in Rimmer. But as soon as Raon’s story came out, everyone became angry… .”
“Ha, Chad. “It’s Chad.”
Alyssa sighed with sad eyes.
“Not only the head of the family, but also the head of the Heavenly Sword is cold-hearted, so it would be sad to be the second child. “No matter how much of a friendship we have developed through working together on missions, he is not the kind of person who would step forward and stand at the forefront for something like that.”
“eww… .”
“Not even Roen. He’s been away from assassinations for decades. But because of Raon, you’re turning to assassination again? “Do you think that makes sense?”
“But from before, Raon’s information went straight to Gajujeon… .”
“It’s natural to be interested in Raon. He’s the youngest master and has great talent. But it makes no sense to start a war because of that child. “Think with common sense!”
She waved her hand and said absolutely not.
“Ugh!”
Chad swallowed a groan.
‘Common sense.’
okay. It doesn’t make sense in common sense.
Does it make sense for a war to break out just because Raon is touched? However, the same situation actually happened.
“Do you understand now?”
“But really… .”
“This bastard… .”
“no! White Hawk Alyssa is right!”
Chad just nodded at Alyssa’s sharp eyes.
“War doesn’t happen that easily. Sieghardt in particular is difficult to move.”
“Is it because of the mediators?”
“That’s one of the reasons.”
Alyssa nodded.
“There will be no war anyway. “The North and South alliance will bow down on their own.”
“If you bow down… .”
“If you think about it, since Tiller is dead, it’s true that pressure is coming from that side, but it’s quiet. “They’re keeping their mouths shut because they’re scared of us.”
“I know that.”
Chad nodded. If Sieghard really wants to, he can erase the North-South alliance. However, since they are also one of the Ohma, they will also suffer tremendous damage.
“damage? Of course, there will be quite a lot of damage. “Just not as much as you think.”
“yes? but… .”
“I didn’t properly tell you about the powerlessness of my superiors.”
Alyssa smiled slightly, saying that since things had come to this, let’s solve it to some extent.
“Did Roen say that he could assassinate his father Roman in one night?”
“yes.”
“That’s an exaggeration.”
“Of course I know… .”
“But it’s 100% possible in about four days. Cheryl, you may have exaggerated your words a bit. “But the head of the family is different.”
She looked at the ceiling with a cool smile. No, she pointed to the sky above.
“If the head of the family steps forward, the North-South alliance will be destroyed.”

Raon returned to Doran Village after buying the items needed for Rimer in a nearby city. Fortunately, as if nothing had happened, Gwangpung Group 2 and the village people welcomed us with smiles.
“Raon.”
Runaan, who was on top of the spire, jumped down and ran towards me. His eyes were more open than usual.
‘It looks like you had a hard time.’
Looking at his eyes shaking like waves, it seemed like he was using too much mental power.
“I found it?”
“okay. “You did a good job protecting this place.”
“huh.”
When I told her that she had done a good job, Runaan smiled very faintly. Nodding her head, she suddenly collapsed.
“uh?”
Raon supported Runan and immediately checked her condition. She didn’t feel any injuries. She seemed exhausted from overusing her stamina and aura.
“Runan?”
“You didn’t sleep.”
Team 2 co-pilot Evie approached and sighed.
“After Lord Budan left the village, he guarded this place without even a wink.”
“I see.”
Raon smiled as he saw Runan exhaling loudly.
‘There was no need to push yourself that hard.’
I asked Runan to take good care of her, but I didn’t expect her to stay alert and not sleep at all. Feeling both grateful and sorry at the same time, she patted the woman on the back.
“What about Danju?”
“You haven’t woken up yet. The condition is the same. “He doesn’t get better or worse.”
“Well, I’ll take Runaan with me.”
Raon laid Runan down on the bed in the dorm and then checked on Rimmer. As Evie said, his condition did not change at all from when he collapsed.
‘This is not good.’
The Danjeon is shaking as if it will break, and the mana circuit is in the worst condition, constricted, which is probably still eating away at Limer’s lifespan.
However, since treatment could only begin once Rimmer had woken up, all that was possible now was to revitalize his body with aura.
Raon used a cartoon ball to relax Rimmer’s whole body as if massaging it, and then came out. Before we knew it, Martha and Group 1 had returned.
“You came as expected.”
Martha approached, frowning.
“how was it?”
“I couldn’t get it. “Even if two cities were completely scraped to the ground, there was no such elixir.”
She sighed, saying it was such a damn rare item.
“Instead, I found an artifact that reduces stimulation of the dantian and mana circuits. “It may be a little bit, but it will help that person too.”
Marta took out a gold bracelet. Judging by the considerable energy I felt, it was not an ordinary artifact. Even if she couldn’t do it, she seemed like she would be at the top level.
Raon nodded as he received the bracelet.
“great job.”
There’s no way something like this is common. To put it mildly, you must have had a hard time finding it.
“What a waste of effort.”
Marta snorted and slightly turned her head.
“What happened to you?”
“I saved it.”
“Really?”
“okay.”
“Haaa… .”
Martha took a deep breath and sat down on the floor.
“Thank goodness.”
She slightly stuck out her mouth and stroked her chest. Her pronunciation was strange, perhaps because her tongue was loose or because she was relaxed.
“sheep?”
“uh?”
“You just said you’re lucky…” .”
“My, when will I!”
“Did everyone hear that?”
“Si, it’s noisy!”
Martha shook her head as if she was saying no and ran into the village.
“Are you going to your dorm?”
“Shut up!”
She raised her fist with a red face and ran back to her dorm.
“Is this your first time seeing the captain so cute?”
“Thank goodness… .”
“You use that tone very occasionally.”
Group 1 members burst into laughter while looking at Marta. Everyone seemed to relax when they found out that Rimmer could be saved.
-You have a natural talent for teasing others.
Lars quenched his appetite.
-Would you like to try the devil of fun? Those demon bastards will be very upset.
The guy said that he wanted to show the other demons what a real demon was, and insisted on going to the demon world later.

That evening.
Buren arrived at the village, holding in his hand the elixir given by the family.
“I received it, but I don’t know if this will work.”
He held out the elixir and gold plate and sighed.
“are you okay. “Because I saved it too.”
“Well, you saved it?”
Burren gaped in disbelief.
“Did you really go to the dungeon and save it?”
“It really wasn’t a joke!”
Instead of Raon, Dorian came forward and spread his hands.
“Meet Lohengrin, who has become a ghost, and fight the apostle!”
“Apostle?”
“Apostle of the White Blood Church?”
Since Raon said that he had taken the elixir lightly, everyone was shocked and their eyes widened.
“Because everyone gathered together. “You can tell me.”
“I will do it!”
Dorian was panting like a puppy with food in front of him, as if he wanted to tell him what had happened in the dungeon.
“okay.”
When I nodded, Dorian smiled brightly and stood in front of the Gwangpungdan.
“Let’s start by finding the dungeon. we are… .”
Dorian told everyone about everything he saw and felt about the dungeon without leaving out anything.
“Wow… .”
“With the four apostles, you’re at the intermediate level of Master.”
“Is it possible to kill an apostle with just three moves?”
“What kind of grand master are you?”
“It was really crazy. it’s crazy.”
Gwangpungdan could not keep his mouth shut for a long time when he heard that Sado had been caught in a triad.
“… Thanks to Lohengrin’s consideration, we were able to take care of his legacy. “Yes, he was a bit scary, but he was a kind person.”
He sniffled, saying he missed Dorian. It was funny that a guy who didn’t put down his white wooden desk all the way would say something like that.
“I find that more interesting than catching an apostle.”
“therefore. “How can you even help a ghost?”
“A person who can do anything can do anything.”
The Gwangpungdan was astonished and wasted hope that they had taken all of Lohengrin’s legacy.
“Then you can save Danju with the elixir you got there, right?”
Burren, who had been unable to breathe because he had caught the apostle, barely came to his senses and asked.
“okay. “At least you can go back to how you used to be.”
“Whew, I feel a little relieved now.”
Burren sighed in relief and smiled a small smile.
“Of course, if you choose… .”
It was when Raon was about to talk about artificial danjeon.
“Woke up!”
Martha, who was guarding next to Rimmer, screamed.
“Sobriety has happened!”
Without anyone saying anything, everyone in the Gwangpungdan ran to their dormitory.
“Umm… .”
Upon entering the dormitory, Rimmer was staggering to his feet. Her complexion was pale and her breathing was heavy. It was so different from his usual appearance.
“Why are their expressions so serious? “Did I wake up a little late?”
He smiled slightly as if trying to laugh this off, but he couldn’t hide the fact that his eyebrows were trembling due to the pain.
“Everyone knows.”
Raon sat in front of Rimmer and shook his head.
“You don’t have to fool me anymore.”
“What are you lying about? It’s not that serious. It would be better if I went back and slept… .”
“I know everything.”
I grabbed Rimmer’s trembling shoulder.
“ha… .”
Rimmer sighed and lay back down.
“damn! Until now, I only wanted to show you the perfect and handsome Danju! “It’s like this!”
He said he didn’t want to show his ugly side like this and struggled like a tantrum.
“I always saw only the unsightly appearance… .”
“yes. “I just learned that I shouldn’t live like that.”
“huh.”
Buren, Marta, and Runaan tilted their heads as if asking what they were talking about.
“That means killing me one more time. My mind hurts more than my body. “Ugh!”
Rimmer stood up clutching his chest.
“It’s okay anyway! “If you go back and sleep well, you can recover.”
As he was about to pass it over, Raon put down the gold bracelet that Marta had brought, Shetty’s tears that Buren had received, and the spirit pill he had obtained from the dungeon.
“What is this?”
“These are the items we rescued.”
Raon briefly explained what had happened to Rimmer.
“You went to the branch without stopping, searched two cities, and protected me without sleeping? and… .”
Rimmer’s gaze passed through Burren, Marta, and Runan, and finally turned to Raon.
“After defeating the apostle, you brought back Lohengrin’s legacy… .”
He lowered his head, biting his lip as if he was overcome with emotion.
“I’m really embarrassed. This is my first time feeling like this in my life. “It’s good, but it’s embarrassing, my heart is burning, but I can’t lift my face.”
Rimmer’s voice trembled slightly. I felt like I couldn’t control my emotions.
“I’ve only received help from Danju so far, so I have to have days like this sometimes.”
Raon smiled slightly, looking at Rimmer who was embarrassed.
‘You’ve helped me countless times.’
Rimmer gave a lot of advice and help, ranging from basic martial arts to mangagong and various swordsmanship and footwork.
He saved my life more than once, and he also taught me human emotions, so I didn’t feel like I was repaying the favor to this extent.
“Danju. Now is the time to choose.”
“select?”
“If you take Shetty’s Tears and Spirit Pill, your constricted mana circuit will be restored and you will be able to return to your previous body. Of course, if you use as much power as you did when fighting Roman, something like this will happen.”
“I guess so.”
“but… .”
Raon took out the artificial dart from his pocket and placed it in front of Rimmer.
“If you break the dantian yourself and use this artificial dantian, you will have to gather the aurors again from the beginning, and a lot of training will be needed, but before the dantian is injured. “We can go back to when it was called Sieghardt’s lightsaber.”
“This, artificial power supply… .”
“You choose what to do.”
Raon pushed the elixir and artificial dantian in front of Limer.
Rimmer looked at the artificial dantian and the elixir in turn with trembling eyes, then clenched his fist.
“I am… .”
