The upper floor of the interrogation room where Raon is torturing Hyeolwoongyeom and Baekrangdo. The door to the old room used as a warehouse opened quietly.
Glenn, with his hair slicked back, entered through the small crack in the door.
“You’re here.”
Roen, who was leaning his back against the wall, lowered his head with a faint smile.
“How is it going?”
Glenn laid his back on the sofa in front of Roen and pointed downstairs with his finger.
“Uhm… .”
Roen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked down.
“It seems like the head of the family and I have made a big mistake.”
He trembled his eyebrows as he looked for signs of Raon downstairs.
“mistaken?”
“yes. “Didn’t we judge that Master Raon would not be able to properly interrogate him?”
“It did.”
Glenn rubbed his chin and nodded.
“Because interrogation is not easy.”
Interrogation is not something that can be done well even if you have strong military or mental strength.
This can only be done if you have the mindset that it doesn’t matter if you are resented and cursed by the person you are interrogating for the rest of your life.
Raon is still young. He didn’t think he could conduct a proper interrogation, as he had never experienced anything that would lead to that level of mind-reading.
“That was our mistake.”
Roen looked at Glenn with wide eyes.
“Master Raon has not only perfected his military and mental strength, but he has already perfected his mind reading skills as well. To be honest, even if I step forward, I don’t think I can do better than you.”
“Is that really true? What did you do… .”
Glenn opened his eyes wide and turned his back on the sofa.
“You stayed still.”
“what… ?”
“The most important thing when interrogating is to clearly show the interrogator that your side has the upper hand. “If you reveal that you are desperate for information, the situation may be taken over by the enemy.”
“okay. “I know.”
“Master Raon did not create such a situation at all. From the beginning, he revealed that he was in an absolute position. Since yesterday… .”
Roen told Glenn what Raon had done.
“So, after using the torture method, you’re leaving it like that until now?”
“yes. “Honestly, I don’t think I can do that kind of interrogation.”
Although I had the confidence to open the mouths of Hyeolwoongyeom and Baekrangdo, I didn’t think I could act as leisurely as Raon now.
Torturing without asking questions is beyond common sense. It was a terrifying torture method that was bound to work because it paid no attention to the other person.
“her… .”
Glenn sighed and closed his eyes as if he was dumbfounded. It seemed like she wanted to check out Raon herself.
Loen looked at Glenn like that and swept down the sleeve of his left arm with his right hand.
‘You must feel strange.’
Glenn believes that Raon has not yet fallen into the darkness of the world.
I wouldn’t have guessed that such a poison would have developed, so I didn’t think it would feel that good.
“hmm… .”
Glenn slowly opened his eyes and looked to the right.
“Is Raon reading a book right now?”
“That’s right. “I’m also reading the martial arts book that the head of the family gave me.”
“What a crazy guy.”
He smiled a cool smile that he rarely showed.
“Matriarch?”
“I guess that lazy guy was watching Raon better than me.”
Glenn nodded with a smile. Contrary to his expectations, he seemed to be more interested in seeing Raon’s venom.
“What is that… .”
“In the Gaju battle, you took the risk of harm for the swordsmen who were used by Irond, and here, where the enemy is, aren’t they using torture that would make even the devil tremble in fear?”
Glenn smoothed his beard as he said that the Raon he saw in the throne room and the Raon here in the interrogation room were completely different.
“The role of the matriarch is to provide impenetrable, warm armor to allies and a cold blade that pierces the heart of enemies. “I couldn’t achieve it, but I think that kid can.”
He smiled excitedly, saying he thought Raon would be a good head of the family.
“Hehehe.”
Roen let out a low laugh as he looked at Glenn’s smile.
‘Are you really serious now?’
This was the first time that Glenn thought of Raon as the head of the family. It seemed like she was truly in love with her grandchildren.
‘No, I can’t see it as a bean pod.’
Because my thoughts are similar.
I also felt that Sieghart would rise to a higher position if Raon became the head of the family, so I did not feel like I was being left out.
“hmm.”
Glenn looked down at the floor and narrowed his eyes.
“I guess it’s just the beginning.”
“yes. “The time to pull it out is just right.”
If it had dragged on a little longer, Baekrangdo and Hyeolwoongyeom would have become ruined or died, and if it had ended a little sooner, they would not have been discouraged.
It was an appropriate moment, as if this was not the first time this had happened.
“That’s amazing.”
“yes. Really… .”
Glenn and Roen nodded with admiration after confirming that Raon had elicited information.
The two people, who were leisurely enjoying Raon’s interrogation, stopped abruptly as soon as they heard the information from Baekrangdo’s mouth.
“Hey, dragon. No, if it’s a dragon mask… .”
Roen’s chin trembled and he showed a rare look of embarrassment.
“Is it a heavenly horse?”
Glenn nodded heavily.
“Or maybe it’s the guy I saw before. Whichever of the two it was… .”
He stroked his slightly disheveled hair and frowned.
“It looks like real trouble is about to begin.”
* * *
Raon glared at Baekrangdo and asked again.
“Are you a dragon? “Not Drake?”
“I only saw the shape because of the shadow, but it was a dragon, that’s right.”
Baengrangdo shook his head, saying that a feeling of intimidation that could not be compared to something like Drake came out.
“Dragon… .”
I’ve gathered quite a bit of information about Eden, but I’ve never heard of a warrior wearing a dragon’s helmet.
It occurred to me that it might not be Eden.
“What else?”
“I haven’t seen him meet another Six Emperor Oma. The person wearing the dragon’s helmet only happened to see it at night… .”
“What color is the helmet? If it were really a dragon’s helmet, it would have color, right?”
“Well, I told you. “I could only see the shape because of the shadow.”
Baekrangdo said he couldn’t even see the colors properly and his fingers trembled.
Tsk.
Raon clicked his tongue briefly. Since he had never heard of the person wearing the dragon’s helmet, it was ambiguous to call it good information.
“Then the next question. With other Shinju Oryeongs… .”
I asked questions to Baekrangdo and Hyeolungyeom until evening, but the two didn’t know anything.
It seemed that Moby Dick’s information was monopolized by the head of the comedy.
“That’s it.”
Raon left the interrogation room after knocking out Baekrangdo and Hyeolwoongyeom, who were out of breath from exhaustion.
-Are you going back now?
Lars raised his head with eyes that were more lethargic than Baekrangdo or Hyeolungyeom.
-Now, please, let’s go. Beaded ice cream is floating in the air!
The guy said he saw nothing and screamed at me to keep my promise.
‘Did you choose the flavor?’
-Well, that’s not yet… .
‘Ugh.’
-Once you go to the store, you can choose! Just go!
‘Let’s start with the report.’
-They already know everything!
Lars said that Glenn and Roen had already heard everything and motioned for them to go to the store right away.
‘Are you two here?’
Glenn and Roen were both of a higher level than him, so it was not strange that they would not notice even if he came secretly.
‘But I still have to report it.’
Raon shook his head and left the dungeon. He asked the guards for Baekrangdo and Hyeol Ungyeom and headed to the throne room.
Perhaps as Lars said, Roen opened the door right away and I was able to quickly stand in front of Glenn.
“Matriarch… .”
“Greetings have been made.”
Glenn waved his hand and instructed them to start with the report.
“First of all, White Watch and the Black Tower don’t seem to be related. but… .”
Raon reported all the information obtained from Baekrangdo and Hyeolwoongyeom.
Neither Glenn nor Roen were teasing much, but when they talked about the dragon’s helmet, the atmosphere became heavy, as if a weight had been hung in the air.
“Do you know who wears the dragon’s helmet?”
“… “I don’t know now.”
Glenn shook his head slowly. However, he had a feeling that he knew who wore the dragon’s helmet.
“Let’s just go.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Roen told me to go and rest as the family battle would take care of the rest.
“yes. then.”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn and left the throne room.
-It’s finally over!
Lars tapped me on the shoulder and told me to go to the Beads Ice Cream Shop instead of the annex.
‘Hmm… .’
Raon licked his lips and looked at the sky. I felt like I could get there just before it closes now.
‘okay.’
I nodded because it was a promise I made with my mouth.
-Kiyao!
Lars made a strange sound and punched his fat fist in the air.
Raon smiled and left the main building. As I passed the garden and turned towards the shopping center, a small shadow emerged from under the dark tree roots.
“hmm?”
When I turned my head, I saw a weasel with snow-white fur standing on two legs and waving its hands.
-Wow, madwoman!
Lars pointed at the weasel and trembled with his finger.
-no! No! Today please!
* * *
“Hahaha!”
Rimmer stretched out and woke up amid the piles of blankets and laundry spread throughout the large room.
“Is it morning already?”
He looked out the window with moonlight streaming down and muttered something nonsense about it being morning.
“I heard that Raon was pestering Irond, so I should go there sometime…” .”
“It’s probably evening, not morning.”
Rimer’s head turned when he heard Burren’s voice outside the door.
“Buren?”
“Can I come in?”
Burren didn’t even listen to Rimmer’s answer, but opened the door and came inside.
“No, why didn’t everyone listen to my answer and just come in and look…?” ok?”
Rimmer laughed as if he was dumbfounded and then closed his mouth.
Buren wasn’t the only one who entered the room. Runan and Marta were also there.
“What’s wrong with you?”
I tilted my head because it was the first time they had come to visit me since I had visited the hospital before.
“Are you here to report on Raon’s behalf?”
“That’s not it.”
Buren shook his head resolutely.
“Make me strong.”
Runaan came in front of Rimmer and nodded.
“huh? “Are you saying this to me?”
Rimmer blinked his wide eyes as if he was surprised by the sudden incident.
“Then who else is here except Daeju?”
Marta crossed her arms and frowned.
“No, you guys are training hard. That’s enough. What are you trying to do to become stronger? .”
“I can’t see Raon’s back.”
Runaan squatted down in front of Rimmer and stuck out his mouth.
“Raon?”
Rimmer shook his head and sighed.
“I told you this before. You too are eight-headed, but he is sixteen-headed. No, thirty-two carriages. “How can I catch him when he’s being dragged by 30 horses?”
He shook his head and said no way.
“You have your… .”
“There is a way.”
Marta interrupted Rimmer and frowned.
“I know.”
“But why?”
“This sleepyhead said so. “It’s not that I’m holding it, it’s that I can’t see the back itself.”
She pointed to Runaan, who was squatting.
“I gave up any thoughts of catching up with him a long time ago. We just don’t want to lose sight of that monster’s back.”
Buren lowered his head as if asking for a favor.
“Hmm, it’s about the Sword Realm Appearance, right? It’s not because I’m annoying… .”
Rimmer leaned back against the pile of laundry and closed his eyes.
“You are not even masters yet. Wouldn’t it be better to start with swordsmanship and Auror training to become a master now?”
“I have done that.”
“I did it.”
“I did it!”
I slowly opened my eyes at the shouts of the three people. Now that I see it, Burren, Marta, and Runaan’s training uniforms are all a mess. It felt like I had been training all day.
“Then you will undergo regular training and receive additional training in sword fighting from me?”
“yes.”
“is it so.”
“huh.”
Burren, Marta, and Runaan nodded at the same time.
Tsk.
Rimmer scratched his outstretched head and quenched his appetite.
‘The time is a bit ambiguous.’
There was not enough time as I was gathering not only the energy of the wind but also the energy of the lightning, but when I faced the serious eyes of the three people, no words of rejection came out.
I remembered the guys who were under me before and felt a little nostalgic.
“good.”
Rimmer nodded with a faint smile.
“But it will be quite difficult. Because it will be different from previous training. “Then let’s start the first training right away.”
Rimmer waved his fingers and stood up.
Unlike before, a flash of dignity filled his eyes like a lightning bolt.
“hmm… .”
Burren, Runan, and Marta swallowed dry saliva and looked at Rimmer.
“Go now and buy beer and snacks… .”
“under… .”
“hey! Kill it! I am that human. No, it was wrong to trust that elf!”
“Hwaam.”
Marta started to step on Rimmer, Buren stopped her, and Runaan yawned.
“Ah, let’s fill our bellies first! View of Bukmangsan Mountain after dinner!”
* * *
Raon is a weasel. No, I followed Merlin to the corner of the garden.
As the sky became dark, it was not difficult to avoid people’s gaze.
“long time no see!”
The weasel put his hands on his waist and nodded. I see it every time, but it was an incredibly amazing sight.
“What on earth have you done?”
Raon sighed and sat down in front of Merlin.
“what?”
Merlin tilted his head. To be honest, she was a little cute because she looked like a weasel.
“Why did you touch Baekryundae?”
“They touched you first.”
She blinked her black eyes as if asking why she was asking such an obvious question.
“after… .”
Raon sighed and covered his forehead with his palm.
‘Was it real?’
My expectations from the moment I heard that Merlin had attacked the White Lotus came to fruition.
The reason was so absurd that I burst into laughter.
“Then what did you pick the petals?”
“I looked at the petal fortune telling between kill and leave, and it came out 2 to 2. If I had come out to kill them, I would have killed them all. Sorry.”
Merlin rubbed his beard with his small paw in regret.
“It was still cool, right?”
“hmm… .”
Raon looked back at Gajujeon and quenched his appetite.
‘It was cool.’
Although I was embarrassed, it was true that I felt good when I saw Irond getting beaten up.
In particular, I felt at ease because innocent Baekryun University prosecutors did not die.
“I’ll take care of that guy. “Don’t touch it.”
“huh. “I thought that would be the case, so I left it on!”
Merlin tilted his head forward, saying, “I did well.”
It looked like it was asking for a pat, but I ignored it.
“after… .”
My personality is so bright that I can’t get used to it. No one would think that that weasel was Merlin, who would be difficult to deal with even in Eden.
“Catching two black loaches and watching them grow. “I’m all happy.”
Merlin laughed. Her blacks seemed to refer to Ma-ryun and Bing-hyang, and loaches seemed to refer to Baekrang-do.
It looks like she was watching Gwangpungdae from the beginning.
“ah!”
While looking at Merlin’s mask, I remembered what Baekrangdo said about the dragon’s mask.
“Have you ever made a dragon mask?”
Merlin previously created the Drake’s Mask, and doesn’t know about the Dragon’s Mask.
“Not Drake, but Dragon?”
“okay.”
“… “Where did you hear that?”
Merlin’s mood changed suddenly. Her eyes, which were as bright as a child’s, took on a cool glow like when we first met.
“I heard you were seen together with Emperor Heegeuk, the leader of Moby Dick.”
“hmm… .”
Merlin frowned silently.
“I guess not him…” .”
“Merlin?”
“I’ll tell you when this becomes clear. “I need to find out.”
“Really?”
“Did you see me lying to you?”
Come to think of it, she never lied. Because when she kidnapped, she even said she was kidnapped.
“Then I’ll just go. This kid… .”
Raon clenched his fists as he heard Merlin say goodbye.
‘Come as much as you like. ‘Because I prepared everything this time.’
I had predicted this situation ever since I heard that Merlin had beaten Irond.
In the subspace pocket, we prepared all kinds of food to feed the animals, from vegetarian food to carnivore and rotten meat.
“Brush his fur. “I heard there’s enough food?”
“uh? Now, wait! hair? “How long do I have to do this?”
“Of course, until this child is satisfied. “Make it sparkle.”
When Merlin waved his hand and said hello, the weasel flinched and trembled its shoulders and came towards us.
“Kyuu.”
The weasel patted his ankle as if to tell him to comb it properly and then lay down on the bush.
“… … .”
Raon closed his eyes tightly as he looked at the weasel, its long tail wagging.
-idiot… .
Lars shook his head as if he was pitiful.
-When are you going to eat ice cream?
* * *
Raon brushed the weasel’s fur from evening until late at night and returned to the room.
“Whoa… .”
I was more exhausted than when I was training or interrogating, and I didn’t have the strength to stand. I immediately lay down on the bed.
‘I never thought combing a weasel’s fur would be this difficult.’
Although weasels are small, they are very picky about their fur, so I was as tired as when I scratched a crocodile’s back in the past.
-hey.
Lars raised his head with blue flames in his eyes.
-Tomorrow is unconditional. As soon as you wake up in the morning, you have to go to the bead ice cream shop!
‘i get it. okay.’
-Then sleep quickly. Then get up early and eat ice cream!
‘I was already thinking of doing that.’
-You can’t do anything else now! The promise with the king comes first! You know there are 2 sets, right?
‘I understand… hmm?’
As I was waving my hands in frustration, I heard a noise coming from the window.
Glenn’s red eyes, as if clad in ice, were reflected through the window, where soft moonlight was streaming down.
“Matriarch?”
-Oh, I’m really going crazy… .
Raon opened his mouth as he looked at Glenn, and Lars grabbed his cheek and stretched it and screamed.
-The world is forcibly criticizing the king!
